> If employees have an ethical issue with working there, why don't they quit?

Always super easy to say for someone else. Why haven't most of the people in the US government quit by now? In fact, insecurity about getting an equivalent job is a real thing. Not wanting to abandon a project you've worked on and expertise you've developed is a thing. Not wanting to abandon people you've worked with is a thing. Thinking you can do more good from within is a thing.

Even for those who consider quitting in protest, waiting until just after the next bonus/vesting day seems like a reasonable concession to other psychological or financial needs. Then that date rolls around, and all of that inertia is still there. Expecting others to make a hard decision that you've never been in a position to make yourself seems unrealistic and unhelpful.

[ETA: I don't mean to say this particular person has never been in that position. I don't know them. I've even forgotten their name. But I've seen this sentiment expressed many times and it always seems facile.]
> ICE junk

Significantly less often. If 90% of your driving is on the battery, then you might be able to go the life of the car without replacing belts and plugs. You'd still need to change the oil, but could probably get away with only doing it once a year.

> But have a degrading battery like an EV

Depends on the battery. Also, even if it degrades a whopping 50% (Which would probably take 20+ years), you still have the ICE to keep you going.

> Have weight of both ICE and EV at the same time

With only a 40 mile battery, not a big deal.

> Deal with legacy dealer network

Yeah, that's pretty stupid. Dealers just get in the way, and I really wish haggling wasn't a thing at all.

> There are an entire 5k being made for the entire US

I'm guessing that they don't profit much if any on each car sold.

I'm a Model 3 owner, but I don't expect everyone to be able (or want) to drive a BEV. Honestly I wish more plug-in hybrids were being made. They can be electric for most people's commute, yet have the ICE to prevent range anxiety.
I think people are just making a normal, perfectly correct and reasonable observation that the description was misleading, because it really was.

But the hallmark of many internet comment threads is to try and get additional mileage out the conversation by subjecting said reasonable observations to the ritual exercise of switcheroos, contrarianism, idiosyncratic distinctions and unusual interpretations. Which leads to the original wisdom being repeated, which makes it seem like it's being blown out of proportion.

But I think the simpler explanation is just that it's a correct observation and that it's not that complicated.

> The steel-man argument is that the President's statements practically amount to an indirect call for violence. There's no other way for the state to enforce laws except to use the messy apparatus of the police, which may result in collateral damage/violence.

Which would mean that literally any discussion of government policy which could result in law enforcement is a call for violence. While I don't particularly disagree with this stance, and Libertarians in general would be overjoyed to see this shift in perspective, I don't expect to see social media companies ban all discussion of political policy.

e.g. "Deadbeat fathers should have to pay child support". If you fail to pay child support you will eventually be arrested. If you refuse to comply with arresting officers, they will use force against you. Therefore calling for child support is an indirect call for violence.

It seems like you're looking at the core of the job as it exists now, but perhaps the threat will be on the periphery? New technology tends to automate tasks, not jobs, but that can change the jobs.

Stock photography probably does have some effect, for some websites where they might have hired a model. Suppose stock photography gets better, more flexible? What could a more ambitious stock photography company do to help clothing retailers find a different way to sell clothes?
It's possible to be an employee at what you think is an immoral company but be doing some innocuous that's just a part of a bigger whole. Does improving an internal observability tool as your job make you just as culpable as Mark? At what point do your actions become immoral? Just working for the company? Building anything for the company while an employee? Maybe you have to be the last step implementor of some bad policy before the immorality attaches. I don't really know.

But the answers to these questions aren't clear and up for debate. What is harder to argue is whether the person directing everything and with a bird's eye view of the direction of the company is culpable for that company's misdeeds. I think this makes it more clear to blame Mark than "all the other employees."

There's an excellent implementation using AWS lambda to manage spot instances at https://github.com/AutoSpotting/AutoSpotting

What's fantastic about the autospotting implementation is:

1. It dynamically replaces existing instances with spot instances just by setting a tag

2. Rather than replacing the instance with a fixed spot instance type, it will choose the cheapest that fits the requirements.

3. If there are no spot instances available that fit the requirements, it will spin up on demand instances until spot instances are available.

If you have experience working with spot then you will know that these are really outstanding features that hopefully amazon will bake-in in the future.
I think there are also some Canadian court cases protecting the right to speak anonymously over the internet. It's an area where I think our government is going a pretty decent job (as governments interacting with new fangled technologies go)
Not the OP, but in the book Impro, Keith Johnstone strongly lamented the suppression of imagination in and by grown-ups. He wrote: "Most children can operate in a creative way until they are eleven or twelve, when suddenly they lose their spontaneity, and produce imitations of 'adult art'." He cites schools suppressing imagination as a factor, saying that, "The research so far shows that imaginative children are disliked by their teachers."

I feel that suspension of disbelief and imagination are closely related, as a lack of suspension of disbelief will close you off to many avenues of imagination.

Here in Canada, "cable internet" is (and has been for years) a fiber run to the neighbourhood and/or apartment-building head-end switch, with coax runs up from there to individual dwellings. There really isn't any contention on the bandwidth of the shared coax medium any more. It's like an office that has one Ethernet hub per four-cubicle workgroup, with the hubs all connected to an Ethernet switch. Collision avoidance / channel narrowing, despite being theoretically possible at the hub level, doesn't really come up with so few transmitters connected to each hub.

AFAIK NoScript whitelists don't respect first-party isolation (so a JS-enabled website can be included in a JS-disabled website), which makes it a relatively simple coordination problem between website A and B (possibly automated by a third-party tracker included in both A and B).

Are Your Tests Useful?
Back in late 90's back when I was working in OSI networking I realised that IPv6 was a bad standard.
It’s the thing they tell you the most when you work there. Like in a a obnoxious way. Most infosec training is about that.

If someone has access to customer’s data for their work they have to do a bunch of extra training and do other stuff. Potentially sign some things and there’s probably a different way to authenticate. I really don’t know because I never had to do that and nobody I knew had that type of access but I heard when you do you have to put with more things.
If you only work 1 day a week without them knowing it, you're basically walking into the office and stealing 80% of your salary off of the CEO's desk.
Are you still with Amazon?
I worked on the Echo Show team. The product had been in development for over a year when we invested in Nucleus. I remember thinking it was very strange that Amazon was investing in that company when we were building such a similar product internally.

I wonder if softbank sees the writing on the wall here. Yea they want cash but ARM is rapidly coming under fire from the open source RISC-V architecture. ARM's licencing model in particular is steering people away from their offerings in new designs and I think they're pretty much at peak value right now with Apple's adoption of their architecture.

I know there aren't tons of news articles about new high performance chips being offered but where I work we are seeing a ridiculous level of interest from other companies particularly given our industry...

Tell me about it. Instructions working on the first attempt on a standard Debian system is quite rare. Bigger projects with more contributors put more work into making it work, but also have more complex processes, so the result is that it's almost always trouble. Or they're simply more complex than necessary: no I don't want to download 12GB of IDE, SDK/compiler, emulated operating systems, and custom versions of dependencies installed system-wide in order to compile and run this project, I just want the code and dependencies in the local folder and apt install a compiler so I can simply build the apk and adb install it on my phone without screwing up my system or having to setup a new container/VM for the purpose.
> Nonetheless the empirical observations made in this article seem to be in direct opposition to multiple other sources of data we have. That seems bad. More specifically it suggests the article is suffering greatly from selection bias and its conclusions are therefore suspect.

Yes, the article is overly broad if you take it to mean 'all Inuit', but I don't think that's a reasonable reading of the article. This is a 'feel-good' story talking about ideals of child raising in an Inuit town. Scott objects to this narrative, so he collects negative evidence to debunk the article. He isn't picking neutral counter-evidence, he is exclusively saying that Inuit abuse their kids and each other:

- "protesting Canada's anti-child-abuse policy": this cannot be discussed without the context of history mass child-separation by the Government.

- Interviews of "how things were in the traditional old days.": This book interviewed elders in 2000, which means they grew up in the Residential School era. The white culture approved of corporal punishment at the time, and the residential schools used most corporal punishment than average. Scott is focusing just on the existence of spanking, and is ignoring the ideals the interviewees express.

> Ilisapi: Some of us tended to take out our frustration on our children when it was our husband who we were angry at. Even if the child had done nothing wrong, if he made one small mistake, we took out our frustration on him. If children were treated like that, they could be damaged. It was their spouse they were angry at in the first place but they took their frustration out on their child. That is not the way to treat a child. It is not good.

...

> Tipuula: Yes. When they are finished crying and are feeling better, that is a good time to talk to them. You need to explain the situation. Let them know you do not like spanking them but what they did required discipline. Once they understand that, they will feel closer to the mother or the father. Things are completely different today. We only reprimand our children verbally because we are not allowed to use physical discipline with our children anymore.

- "(some of these are adult abuse statistics rather than child abuse statistics, but if adult Inuit never get angry or act impulsively, why are they doing all this abusing?)": This is straight-up character assassination. This is the point which I most object to, not because the abuse statistics are wrong, but because it is being used to discredit the ideals of a community.

Yep, generates outrage, feeds on it and turns it into money. The added insult is that advertising money used to be used to fund investigative journalism and real community news coverage at local newspapers in every city and town in the US. Anyone know what that money is spent on now?
I disagree. Once you increase your knowledge of AWS and associated systems, you can decrease cost of what you are doing through tips like what you see in this article. I don't quite get the point about optimizing cloud costs solely by switching to self hosted? Like of course you could do that, but you could also optimize costs by doing what the article says.

Full Disclosure: I work at AWS building tools to help customers do cost optimization.
Typically you have a design system that keeps things consistent. So you would have maybe 5-6 different padding sizes, eg padding-s, padding-xl or whatever. That's why you don't just do style='padding: 1rem;'. Instead you assign a predefined padding class that's defined by your design system. As for me using .centered, it was just a quick example, and you took it in bad faith and now are nitpicking minor details.

Sitewide changes are a trade-off, if you make one easy (adjusting one parameter for a class of elements) you make others more difficult. Like, what if you need to change only some blog-title elements from centered to left-aligned in your system, do you create blog-title-left-aligned? I don't think the problem you pose is any more relevant than any other possible arrangement of html/css changes.
It's not an argument; it's a thought experiment. From three posts up:

"""If that proposition ("The average person isn’t capable enough to judge information for themselves") were true..."""

I'm interested in exploring the logical consequences of assuming that point, not arguing the truth of the point.

I've generally heard quality-of-life listed under the inalienable right to pursuit of happiness, not the inalienable right to life, i.e. "What's the point of living if you can't ever be happy". But, yes, let's preserve that one as inalienable too. How do we structure a society to preserve those rights if we assume "The average person isn’t capable enough to judge information for themselves?" What does that do to their ability to both enunciate what makes them happy and make the correct decisions to pursue that which makes them happy successfully?
Some companies (eg Apple) have an ARM architectural license, which gives them the ability to design custom microarchitectures, but using the same ARM ISA.
But none of that would matter, given that there are millions of people on the planet who have it, and they will continually get reinfected. Whereas, a previous cold virus that gave some significant portion of them immunity, would matter.

Also, South Korea's death numbers (and Vietnam's) both look pretty good compared to any nation in western Europe.
But then what about other commenters saying that this is exactly what their sectors of the company do? Do you think it's impossible that a massive company like Amazon that controls an ungodly amount of the Internet would break those rules? Especially when the government of their home country hasn't pursued an antitrust case in God knows how long
The ad is a waste of time, I think. You will have to avoid wasting time, in the case of fire. (These ads are problematic for other reasons too, but here is one situation too.)
Why are people surprised by this? There was a period of time in the VC world (~2001) where this was di-rigeur. You were caught between a rock and a hard place, as pitching literally meant potentially enabling a competitor.
Having a good model can set your photos apart from stock photos, even if they are doctored a bit. This is especially important if you don't have someone on hand with good photoshop skills (which is probably also in demand).

I guess this is all dependent on how "in demand" models are...

I was at a FAANG company as well (Google, with extremely slow dev tool velocity), and I don't think he isn't intelligent. But there are workarounds of the official dev process.

I liked working on parts of search quality for example (or any data mining project), where most of the time (and the way to promotion) is spent on research, not software development. It means that 90% of the code we write don't have to be committed (code reviewed, tested, documented, going through the approval process), just the code that goes to production. The smartest colleague of mine spent a lot of time figuring out the root cause of data/search quality issues, and made the smallest possible change in the system to get his change through. It's an art in itself, and can make a lot of impact and lots of money to the company as well.
Your motive appears to be to troll from a position of ignorance. No, DNA tests do not cause holocausts.
You're not entirely wrong.
I don't know exactly how compensation works, but they have basically two products:

- The ARM ISA (the "specification")

- A series of chip designs implementing such ISA (the Cortex series)

Customers can either license the Cortex design to implement in their own silicon or license the ISA and design their own CPU (like Apple did). There isn't one single Cortex core, but many of them at different performance/price points
It will contain all passport information and will fetch and update information from national identity card. Upon scan visa and PNR information will also be updated. We are using AI alogside OCR to identify fake passports on the basis of matching patterns.
The problem is that many conservative/Republican areas are more rural. So you could see these opinions being related to the fact that these rural areas had fewer people getting infected, and these areas have never had as big a problem with covid-19. So for them, it's entirely possible the worst was behind them in their location in June.

I think a big problem is that people assume that everyone is experiencing the pandemic the same way. So then they think how can anybody think things are okay, when they may have been relatively untouched in their location.

I dunno, any particular independent verification companies you would trust?
why does OP's interviewing skill have to do with anything? i actually agree that stilted non-conversational speech like that in interviews and speeches sounds bad (talking in particular about the beginning). no need to say all that live if it's not contingent on the interviewee in any way. just watch the video: he is sitting there staring at a piece of paper reading, and then the first question the interviewer asks is essentially "what are some of the foundational inspirational ideas of your work?", which for anyone who isn't brilliant and hyperrational like the interviewee would be difficult to answer after being warmed up for an hour, much less before even seeing the eyes of the interlocutor. yes, interviews are not the same thing as normal conversation, but i don't think it's that crazy to suggest (like OP) that priming people in a more conversational way can be a nice way to smooth the edges around a conversation that will already be difficult for everyone to grasp (including Bach, who has to articulate all these things).

all of this is independent of how good of work lex does as an interviewer, which seems like it's pretty good given his ability to engage with the ideas presented (in this context idea empathy (ie understanding what Bach's saying) > interpersonal/conversational empathy).
Agreed. I worked on the first Echo and was one of the participants in the conversations about what became the Echo Show in 2012/2013.
What makes you think Microsoft would behave differently?
From what I understand ARM designs and licenses some chips but also licenses the right to design chips implementing the same ISA. So not all ARM processors are designed by ARM.

The current version establishes a commission of 19 people which are composed of various interests. Of those interests 2 of are civil liberties experts and 2 of which are computer science or cryptography experts. 14 members are required to pass resolutions. So the cryptographers and civil liberties people can just be ignored by the prosecutors and entrenched corporate representatives.
