>That's what "zero tolerance" means: no excuses, not even "someone tricked me."
That doesn't necessarily follow, as it depends on exactly what they have zero tolerance for. They say they have zero tolerance for "misuse of credentials." Misuse conceivably may not include insecure storage of credentials or accidentally exposing them, but only actively using them, eg logging in and using them for an inappropriate purpose.

I'm not trying to split hairs or be a Twitter apologist here but there is a meaningful distinction here. Intentional misuse of credentials is ultimately subordination (which is immediately fireable in most situations), whereas accidental exposure is a mistake. Twitter is effectively reinforcing that employees are forbidden to puruse private data. They are not making the point that they will fire anyone accidentally involved in a security breach.
A keyboard is a tool, and for people who type on theirs 40+ hours a week, a couple hundred here or there is a rounding error at the end of the year.

I bought a ZSA keyboard (not this one) due to otherwise having to type on a crappy butterfly keyboard on a laptop provided by work (when my E key started repeating, I knew I was over it). I could've bought some sort of crappy rubber dome thing, but I didn't. And I'm very happy with my purchase.

Not always, no. In hypomania there is, by definition, no significant functional impairment. However, the underlying bipolar illness usually needs to be treated, and that usually involves reducing the amount of mood cycling. Indirectly that will often reduce the time spent in a hypomanic state.

> targeted advertising is not as valuable as everyone believes

> privacy nightmares and ethical issues like allowing targeting alcoholics with alcohol ads

These two statements are diametrically opposing each other. Either targeted advertising works or it doesn't. You can't say that it isn't valuable and then raise concerns about how it causes privacy nightmares and alcoholics to buy more alcohol.

Alcoholics will buy more alcohol either ways. Targeting makes no difference to their behavior really. But your argument holds no ground because alcohol ads are highly regulated. You can read more about why here: [1]. More often than not advertising companies reject alcohol ads as it hurts their business more than it helps (due to stringent regulations in most parts of the World). It is not as easy as you make it out to be. Else your social media pages should be inundated with alcohol ads. It is not.

I strongly believe that there should be regulations on the content of the ads that are pushed out (just like the alcohol ads). There should be regulation on how often an ad can be retargeted and to ensure that the placements don't hamper user productivity. Blanket bans on advertising methods just for sake of privacy is going to do more harm than good. There has to be some sort of a balance. For people who want privacy they can opt for privacy focused social networks. But if entire platforms move towards privacy then the advertising industry will collapse completely. Targeted advertising is the cheapest way for small and medium businesses to get new customers. It levels the playing field with corporations with big pockets. If you move towards privacy as a focus point with no proper alternatives to advertising it will cause a major shakeup. Many businesses will shutdown. You'll have more consolidation and less competition. Only those with big pockets can advertise their products/services. And in the post-Corona World, this is a lifeline to many small businesses.

ISA extensions cover quite a lot of ground. One design point is to implement a very narrowly scoped accelerator that only addresses the highest latency (or lowest work-per-instruction) parts of a software implementation.

Both Chacha and Poly1305 were specifically designed for fast execution in software implementations, so IMO this approach is well-suited to those algorithms. You could easily argue that the ARMv7-M instruction "unsigned multiply accumulate accumulate long" exists solely as a bignum accelerator, for example. Perhaps fusing addition with xor is similarly worthwhile for ChaCha.
You don't have to choose; there is plenty of time during a four-year college education to do both. Plenty of people double major across STEM and humanities. Or if you don't want that level of commitment, you can create breadth with your electives.
It’s really hard to call a duopoly much better than a monopoly. Sure you can probably identify points, but neither outcome is anywhere near efficient. I don’t know that it should necessarily be illegal. But it is market concentration.
> Millions of peace activists—including my self—would love to see it abolished.

I wonder how Europe will respond when the next Crimea happens? Or if Taiwan gets attacked. It's a real question, and I'd love to hear from a peace-activist.

I'd bet Europe will do nothing. Merkel wouldn't even openly criticize China for stripping away democracy from Hong Kong. European models work well in a world without dictatorships. But as long as we have dictatorships, rigid pacifism is just throwing militarily weaker democracies under the bus. Irrespective of what one thinks about Trump, the US military a dependable ally for (many) democracies. And perhaps the only one with the willingness to act.

I can't imagine 6 tonnes of charred pine needles dumped in the Ganges effectively lasts more than a day for the purposes of heavy metal absorption. The math is beyond me, but it doesn't seem overly difficult. Especially when you consider that the needles don't show up all at once. They fall from the sky one at a time. After the first harvest, little Jimmy will be wandering through the once-lush, and now barren pine wasteland individually picking up pine needles with an eyebrow tweezer. It's interesting, but probably only "three legged dog" interesting.

Why? From where I sit there will still be plenty of (or at least no less) competition in the CPU/GPU space--especially considering the fact that ARM itself is not a semiconductor manufacturer.
> Do I forgive him? no, especially since he never apologized. what you are describing is not forgiveness. It's called moving on.

Forgiveness is moving on. It is letting go of your negative emotions. Needing someone else to apologize to "give forgiveness" is not how forgiveness needs to work.
Yes, but not the high-end GPU market, which is what Intel has been trying to break into for quite some time now.

A PhD degree doesn't "prove" anything. It's a chance for you to build your own education using the resources at your disposal, under a mentor. There is vastly too much variability in the experiences of PhDs, even within any single field, to generalize. This makes it difficult to market the PhD as a credential or meal ticket. It's a license to compete, that's all. And as you can read in this forum, it's held against you by a lot of people.

Luckily, I knew this when I started my PhD program, because of an oversupply of mentors and role models within my own family. Also, I was planning on carving out my own niche anyway because I'm a punk. But it's not for the faint of heart.

Still, I'm skeptical about modifying PhD education to turn it into a "credential" that comes with an employment guarantee. Part of academic freedom is the freedom to study something that nobody cares squat about. Also, many of the people who are attracted to doing that, are unlikely to prosper in a mainstream career anyway.

For myself, I realize that becoming a programmer after high school might actually have been better from a lifetime earnings standpoint, but it assumes that I would actually have survived an entry level job in a code factory or IT department.
I saw earlier in the discussion about the new Australian media laws re: Google’s use of news articles, a googler explain that Google News still exists as a gesture of good will from the company; as a service that costs them a rounding error, that some subset of users still use and enjoy, is something they keep doing just because they can.

I wonder how they would explain this.
> The biggest problem is being able to handle the legal minefield that Copyright law (in all its international variations) is for a video plattform.

That's not that big a problem tbh. It's understood and there's a lot of solutions.

The bigger issue is that you'll have to get music licenses if you want to actually run a service in the long run, and people's faces tend to drop when they find out they simply can't license music internationally, and you have to approach multiple different bodies in literally every individual country you operate in.

Operating an international video service probably requires you to sign 750-ish collective rights agreements, and that is painfully expensive to even negotiate. Some of these bodies are also much more rational than others on pricing.
This would be bad. Not because of the CPU business - I think RISC V will eventually make that irrelevant. Once CPUs are open source commodities, the next big thing is GPUs. This merger will eliminate a GPU maker, and one that licenses the IP at that.
Indeed.

> 1. Germany isn't on the Eastern Front. Poland actually borders Russia (the exclave on the Baltic.)

The Kaliningrad exclave is quite small, but it poses a real danger when the Suwalki Gap is taken into account. Given Belarus' friendly ties with Russia, there is only a small band of land that needs to be cut off to trap the Baltic states. It's important to secure that stretch. Ideally, Belarus would serve as a buffer, but that's a very difficult thing to achieve. Also good would be the ceding of Kaliningrad to Poland and Lithuania (historically, that region was a vassal of the Polish Crown). Perhaps in exchange for recognition of Russia's annexation of Crimea. Good luck with that, I guess.

Ideally, the Central European states east of Germany can play the US, Germany/EU, and Russia off each other to guarantee that the region is free from hegemonic dominance. Historically until the late 18th century, Polish dominance guaranteed stability and peace in the region. As both historical heir and as the largest country of the block, it is important the Poland resume its historical and geopolitically necessary role if Poland and the other states represented in the Three Seas Initiative are to remain free and prosperous. The stability offered would also benefit European stability by creating a bulwark against both Western and Eastern imperial ambitions.
There's a huge market for mobile devices that aren't Apple and are fast. Perhaps this would offer better SoC prospects than whatever slop Qualcomm is dishing out.

I think it probably ended up not being a ton of money, but just the question was enough for us to not do it. From working with other providers, it's also much easier working with our finance if we can say 'it costs at most this' instead of 'it costs at least this'

I've rewritten this comment several times. It's hard to strike a good balance in intellectual conversations about topics that are central to people's core identities. If too much deference is given to belief, then conversations will inevitably end up lopsided, where it's impossible to disagree with any point without being charged with bigotry and intolerance. On the other hand, it's all too easy to burn the bridges that might allow a believer to join a discussion. And finally, there are some aspects of some beliefs that are antithetical to free inquiry, so it becomes especially hard to discuss such in a dispassionate way.
id argue that with an investment you can compare like to like alternatives and can use a greater degree of objectivity.

there are far more variables to consider in higher ed (student loan debt, opportunity cost of time, unemployment, alternative education experiences, etc) so looking at it as an outflow of cash with a predictable return is misleading at best.

no college has a monopoly on information and there is no proprietary info gained (other than network from elite schools). in a sense the knowledge component of a degree can only approach a value of zero as time goes on. the experience aspect is of course subjective and very important to some.

It's also such an obvious lie - I can trivially find lots of danish music on youtube. The music that has been taken down is the music that has not been licensed through the copyright society at the price they want.

I used a Kinesis Advantage for a few years before switching to the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB.

My main complaint about the Advantage is that I kept hitting the arrow buttons in the bottom row unintentionally. Partly poor typing form, I'm sure, and of course I could have remapped them.

The other thing is that the Advantage is tall, so it's not great up on a desk, and it's not that comfortable on your lap. I think it's best in a tray, although some trays may not be tall enough for it.

As for the Freestyle, I like the split design, the customizable layout, and the customizable lighting (I have a different color for QWERTY and Dvorak). Add a couple of USB ports, and it would be nearly perfect. The "6" key is on the wrong half, and I might experiment with a layout that isn't staggered typewriter style.

I do tend to fidget with the position of the Freestyle throughout the day. This is another keyboard that might work better in a tray.

I don't know if I'd call this Moonlander "next generation," but it's an intriguing combination of what I like in the Advantage and Freestyle.

Google has been bleeding the media dry. One of the graphs shown yesterday during the antitrust hearing was about how Google has shifted it's original business model of showing ads on third party sites (where they have to give most of the revenue to those sites, funding those sites) to a business model of showing ads predominantly on it's own sites, where it keeps all of the ad revenue.

Every single year, Google's ad business shifts more revenue from the "shares with third party sites" segment over to the "keeps all of it" segment. So while Google Search used to heavily fund news, every year, Google's cut gets bigger, and news orgs' cut gets smaller.

The second graph here is what was shown in the hearing, and shows the numbers pulled from Alphabet's reports: https://medium.com/beyond-devices/googles-increasing-relianc... "Google Network Members" effectively refers to website owners like news publishers which display ads.

I'm aware that this is the case for most people's music 'education'. Sometimes I think the same for school-taught programmers. Actually I have a hard time coming up with any kind of education that has enabled more than stifled creation.

Long ago I had just one music lesson and then bailed forever; it was terribly rote, but much later as an adult I did something that changed how I saw it. My brother got a keyboard for Christmas, and nobody knew how to play, so I just started practicing the finger placements for the 'Axis of Awesome' chords, and about 4 hours later I was competently entertaining his kids with songs I was making up as I was going along. That was an incredible feeling of weightlessness and thoughtlessness, like some spirit I've never known was playing through me.
> Isn't that kind of what the study says though?

Perhaps so for specific cognitive measurements, but you quoted yourself a semi-contradictory blurb:

> Music may be beneficial for non-cognitive constructs in children such as prosocial behavior and self-esteem.

(at least, I'm not aware of any claims of sedentarism being correlated with anything positive)

One could argue that some aspects of intelligence do fall in the "nature" realm (as opposed to being nurturable), but for _practical purposes_, one ought to consider the application of said intelligence to real life scenarios, and I think improvements in prosocial behavior and self-esteem can certainly be important factors there.

A Look at Facebook’s Sad and Severe Censorship Saga
From what we know so far (https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-xe-graphics-all-we-k...), it will be a while before Intel competes in the GPU space. The first offering of Xe graphics (still not out yet) will probably not be competitive with cards that AMD and Nvidia released over a year ago.

If Intel can survive their current CPU manufacturing issues, manage to innovate on their design again, and manage to improve the Xe design in a couple generations, they might be in a good position in several years. I (as a layman) give them a 50/50 shot at recovering or just abandoning the desktop CPU and GPU market.

True. I realize that I wrongly assumed that "revenge" was retaliation perpetrated by the victim outside of any legal system.

If I understand right, some people consider that justice is a form of revenge. If the process of administering justice is done by a legitimate third-party, which lets the victim focus on healing/repairing, then I agree that justice will help the victim.
