You said you had zero problems with police and did never encounter them mistreating others personally. I know you have internet access, so you're not looking beyond your own tiny physical bubble. That is what your words mean.

Plus some ominous addendum about voting, without saying what that would mean in practice in this context, i.e. voting for whom over whom. Why do I care more about what you're actually saying than you do? Would you say that's also true for the silent [sic] majority who only votes awesomely, for whom you presumed to speak?

TypingDNA [1] recognises people by the way they type, and provides typing biometrics (aka keystroke dynamics) as a service via an API. This is currently used for Multi-Factor Authentication in industries like Banking and Education [2].

Don't take my word for granted, see it with your own eyes and even try it with a friend (can somebody else replicate your typing pattern?) [3]

There are free accounts provided to developers, so you can easily call the API yourself [4]

That quote only describes our reality if taken out of context. "Something would get done" is referring to police reform enacted with a broad social consensus, not to a stream of escalating sub-terrorist provocations from leftists and from the government. And George Floyd was not "the most clear-cut and sympathetic case" in the presence of (e.g.) Breonna Taylor. The kind of hypothetical conspiracy is just not there; instead we're seeing memetic natural selection at work.
Exactly, when the state pays the maternity leave, it doesn't create a disincentive for the employers.

Should be obvious, but somehow is not. Even if you make laws like "the employer cannot ask about ...", well, they cannot ask, but they can still make a guess, right? (And then make up an excuse, because guessing is also illegal, of course.) Instead, if the maternity leave is paid by the state, the employer does not bear the cost, the mother doesn't have to worry about the employer going out of business during her pregnancy, etc.

Generally, as a rule of thumb, if the "society wants" something, it should be paid by taxes, not thrown as an additional burden of the employers. That way, employers are incentivized to try to avoid the extra costs by doing things that are socially wrong, and the employees are not dependent of having a good and wealthy employer, and even the unemployed can get the same benefits by the same channels.

For example, if you want to prevent crime, you don't say "the employers should provide police to protect their employees", but instead you pay the police from taxes, and leave the employers out of it. Exactly the same logic applies to health care, parental leave, etc.
70% of Americans are white but we still care about the minority vote. (Living in a gun-owning household is not irrelevant. For the reasons people buy guns—hunting, self-defense, etc., you don’t need everyone to have a gun in their own name.)

Maybe off-topic, but the article says they used a modified machine learning algorithm to nap bat calls to activities and from that developed a translator.

With the improvements to machine translation without parallelism data and voices-to-voice translation, how stupid is the idea that we might someday be able to take enough bat calls and human speech, and create a true translation system? obviously assumes the bats got something vaguely resembling a language we can translate from.

Hi @bdickason!

I'm glad you decided to write a Product Management book. I did so myself with The Product Book (link here https://bit.ly/32YkW2B) a few years ago.

I'd say that the PM community would definitely benefit from quite a few of those topics. My favorite ones are Why great PMs build bad Products and Moving from Jr to Sr PM.

My advice is to make it as holistic as possible. Go out and see how different PMs have managed those challenges and how each experience is unique. In the end, there is no one right way to succeed in PM.
Linux is not tied to a single architecture. Not sure if it ever has been, really.
Zelle is instant in many cases. I send funds to Chase and PNC customers from a Chase account frequently, and the funds (thousands of dollars) is available to the recipient immediately.

Your bank’s UX should indicate if the transfer is immediate or not when you create a contact. Zelle is already doing substantially more volume than Venmo, as its a consortium of the largest banks in the US who have baked it into their user interfaces for domestic P2P money transfers.
Yet another reason to use FOSS as much as physically possible.
Stuff like "well I'm getting on a flight, time to pop a couple of xanax" seems much more common in films/TV that America exports than, say, real life in the UK.

I know plenty of people who use illegal drugs but still have that perception of America thanks to Hollywood/etc.

Personally, I don't know the data between countries, and while I've been to the US a bunch of times I've never tried to obtain medicine there legally or illegally. But I have found a big difference between UK ("You want valium? Are you sure? OK, here are 4x 2mg pills") vs France/Belgium ("Do you mean 10mg, I don't think valium comes that weak..." before realising they could prescribe 2mg indeed, and multiple times I've asked for a controlled drug in FR/BE and had the doctor reply "how many boxes" without even asking why I wanted it. Purely anecdotal, though.)
> We need to get people working again in a way that doesn't spread the virus.

Doing what, and how would you train them at scale?

> We need to work on resolving our housing supply issues. We've torn down a million SROs and not replaced them. We've largely zoned Missing Middle housing out of existence.

This is true, and is primarily the market’s fault. Developers focused on building higher margin luxury development and private equity started acquiring affordable private multi family en masse, renovating it and jacking up the prices.

> We collectively know how to create affordable market rate housing in walkable neighborhoods. We just basically choose not to in the US.

Again, this is a battle of competing interests. Those that control zoning and development aren’t as concerned about making cities walkable as those who actually live in them. Fewer and fewer people own the real estate they live in. You make it sound like laziness and that we “need to get our heads out of the sand.”

Unfortunately, the real estate market isn’t that simple, and the single largest influence in making waves in real estate is truckloads of money, plain and simple.

They’re not flipped. From a bank’s point of view, any money they hold on your behalf is a liability. Your bank statement is an extract from their books. When they take a fee, it’s a debit on your statement, because it’s a credit to revenue on theirs.

It was supposed to be temporary in the 60s. Care to predict when it will end? Do you really see diversity and inclusion departments, speakers and writers declaring success and dissolving their departments and jobs?

Do you have any proof that unfairness against a group mostly harms those with advantage?

For instance if white men are over represented as professors, it may seem fair to discriminate until the numbers are equal. But if you broke the group of white men up into young and old, you'd find it's the young who are being punished for the success of the old.

Suddenly by redrawing the groups it's gone from being fair to unfair. Who divides up the groups?

Is it even possible to be fair to groups without being unfair to individuals?
My son was born 10 weeks (started having issues 14 weeks) too early. One of the primary reasons he was born that early was that my wifes Cervical was expanding too fast. The remedy lay down don't move.

A simple explanation could simply be that by people having stayed at home they are less likely to be physically active and stressed.

I'll bet you that's the primary reason.
Protecting their x86 server business should be their number 1 priority right now. Customers don't care if the product is manufactured in Intel or TSMC Fabs and the margins will still be more than satisfactory.

If the x86 based product falls behind customers have an incentive to move to ARM made on TSMC (Apple being the obvious case in point). In this respect AMD is doing Intel a long term favour by giving firms an x86 fall back.

Yes, it depends on work and what type you are. I've talked with lots of older colleagues that dread retirement, mostly because they enjoy work and they also enjoy the people they work with.

Some people will do just fine with their hobbies and projects, others will have a hard time adapting - many even coming out of retirement, due to boredom. Really depends on the individual.

One thing I've heard a lot, from older colleagues, is that people tend to become mentally dull once they go into retirement - at least on the skills they used daily at work.

You need to be pretty disciplined and motivated to maintain your skills at a professional level, once there's no hurry or pressure to deliver anything. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months, months into years - before you know it, you've spent a couple of years of your retirement just chilling around.
> I’ve yet to see anyone in the executive suite who’s not a Heineken buddy from the Universiteit

I wish this didn't ring so true. It is so prevalent that for those who were raised locally and who went through said university schooling it is still painfully easy to distinguish from which student union in which city these guys originate based on how they treat each other, even when they graduated decades ago. Which ironically means that they are guilty of the kind of primitive tribalistic nonsense that they project onto other cultures.

... actually, now that I wrote that out, I guess that could partially explain a few things as well.

I vaguely remember a story about a hardware manufacturer (Burroughs? Symbolics?) that had a processor with instructions that could bounds-check array accesses with zero latency overhead. It was a great feature for Algol/Lisp, but some customers asked for an option in their Fortran compiler to disable the bounds check.

The sales engineer replied that the bounds checks were zero-cost, but the customers replied that the bounds checks broke their progrems... their programs had silent (or at least unnoticed) array bounds bugs, and the customers preferred to keep those bugs, thank you very much!

I wish I had kept the link. I've tired a couple times to find the story. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

I don't know where you're getting your info from, but Google salaries in Switzerland are extremely competitive with California. The average for software engineers at Google Zürich is around $300K at L5 I'd say. And the housing situation, while still very expensive, is a lot less fucked up than San Francisco.

It's somewhat similar to the mutant behavior of FCoV, which can cause feline infectious peritonitis. Regular FCoV causes some gastrointestinal and respiratory issues, but upon mutation starts breaking down cells and causing issues in the circulatory system, ultimately causing death.

> Europeans who toot their "life is so good here, why do other people work so much?" horn are privileged enough to have a hand-me-down property bought/inherited from their (grand)parents

Most people never get any inheritance before their parents die; you're basically retired when it happens.

People with a decent job in Europe (such as engineering) have a pretty comfortable life without considering any inheritance, even if they're paid less and work less than American equivalents.
I work in the field, but the info is all out there. Yeah AWS has partnerships with Verizon and a couple of internationals. Microsoft has AT&T. I don't think the deals are exclusive, just first attempts to get something going.

Interestingly when I took my job I also thought we were going to be deploying to every intersection, and was a bit disappointed when I found that the reality was much less interesting.

And just so you know, no the security angle is huge. Something like SDS may be fine for some purposes, but if there is anything valuable resident in memory or running over PCIE or whatever else, side channel attacks are real and people will steal them. Look up some hacks people do just to cheat at Xbox, it's insane. If you can't prove you're secure against that, you'll never get big money customers on your platform. Currently that still means sharks with laser beams.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted — I didn't know about this lack of sources and took all of the information about the region for granted. Thanks for reminding me that even things that sound plausible (or especially those things) need to be reviewed, toO!

No, I mean specifically if you're building your own CPUs and can add instructions. You add the ability to set a hardware mask that all values are passed through before they're used as addresses for loads and stores including speculation. Loads and stores that fall outside the masked region will simply wrap around.

In your JIT, you enter and leave this mode before and after running user code to ensure it can't escape its region.

This would be a lot of work to pull off and would require custom hardware and software, but (at least as far as I can tell) it should work.

At audit time the world of “holy shit what were these people thinking?” will be colossal, because we do not get to pretend that a system is a black box at audit time.

If those records don’t make sense to an accounting professional, then they’re fucked up, and that’s all she wrote. The world of audit has seen a million shysters try to falsify their books under the guise of alternative methods, and they are not interested in some self-serving hubris from programmers about re-inventing their own profession.

So this guide isn’t just philosophically off beam. It could get someone fired or sued.

> You can. For every health condition, there are a wide range of options varying in cost, efficacy, risk, time and pain.

Broadly speaking: if you experience dire medical trauma — say you have a heart attack or get in a bad car accident — you need emergency care or you’ll probably die. If you have cancer, you need to treat it or you’ll die. If a vital organ stops working, you need to find a functional replacement or you’ll die.

You may have multiple options for treatment, or you may not. But for many health conditions, the choice is ultimately binary: treat your ailment or die. That sounds to me like a service that cannot be substituted.

> "But a measuring of strength may be effected in cases where the opposing sides are very unequal by a mere comparative estimate. In such cases no fighting will take place, and the weaker will immediately give way.

> If the object of a combat is not always the destruction of the enemy’s forces therein engaged—and if its object can often be attained as well without the combat taking place at all, by merely making a resolve to fight, and by the circumstances to which this resolution gives rise—then that explains how a whole campaign may be carried on with great activity without the actual combat playing any notable part in it."

(the problem here is that this strategy is unstable, as not everyone can follow it at the same time, something demonstrated twice during the prior century. Renaissance italians were fond of manoeuvre over direct combat, for which our more bloodthirsty age faults them.)

First sentence of your second link : "If you’re a ProtonMail free user, you can export emails individually and save them locally on your device".

Good luck when you have 3000 emails and you are physically disabled.

In other words, signing in and using the service is "free", but you must pay to quit it or move to another provider.

There are also many other data than just emails : contact list, your private keys, the folders/tags you used, and all other personal data that Protomail may have about you.

Facebook and Google allow you to download a single zip of _all_ your data, at any time you wish, _for free_. They do it because it is required by the _law_, not because they are being nice.

So, yep. I would send a big warning to anyone who wants to try Protonmail, because Protonmail's terms of service uses dark pattern in that regard, and probably illegal in EU or California.

I couldn't understand double entry accounting until I found out about ledger-cli / hledger.

These awful arbitrary "left-side / right-side" and "debit / credit" just doesn't make any sense.

As opposed to that, no-magic approach from ledger-cli where every entry must balance is intuitive to learn and mathematically correct. And it allows to go a bit beyond the whole "assets / liabilities / expenses / income" if needed.
Production ready AOT for .NET exists since Singularity, which MIDL and Bartok compilers were the basis of .NET WinRT on Windows 8/8.x.

Then some of the Midori tech eventually made its way into .NET Native, which from my point of view UWP + .NET Native is what .NET should have been all about back in 2001.

Apparently after the timid attempt with XAML Islands and MSIX, they seem to be getting the house in order and driving the platform into a way to pretend that Windows 8 and 8.1 never happened, but it seems to be lacking a lot of coordination and long term planning.

Windows 10X apparently is also not getting Win32 sandbox any longer, this assuming it ever gets released.

Still in the middle of the chaos, it still feels much better than if I had to deal with Android on daily basis, one IO best practices is next years legacy.
I read the first 15 pages of the memo, and have to run to a meeting. I don’t think it’s the slam dunk you think it is. I largely agree with it, knowing what I do about the US in the 1970s. It may be that the system has swung too far in favor of corporations. Certainly, today’s wealth inequality is destabilizing and needs to be addressed. But that memo, by and large, seems reasonable to me.
I'm not disputing your claims.

Not because I specifically agree (or disagree) with them. Personally, I also consider myself in a pretty good position to judge this stuff, however I decided a while back that even when I think I'm sure I'm not going to tell it as a fact, especially online where other readers can't easily tell if corin_ or doreenmichele are making great points or deluded idiots. (A quick edit here: I didn't mean that to imply one or both of us are deluded or idiots. Just that neither of us are coming into this thread with "here are my qualifications and/or research to make me more than a random commenter".)

My reply wasn't that you were wrong in your beliefs, however this part in particular:

"And that led to an epiphany for me [...] So I got a pizza and then he felt vastly better. So the whole blood angle is cemented in my mind like "Clearly, this is a hard fact and..."

My point is that even if you are 100% correct about the blood issues and zinc, you have literally described a one day process of epiphany to pizza to fact proven. Whether you're right or wrong overall, that's not how people should be forming opinions on fighting covid.
