I'm not arguing either way for whether "we" need to as a whole, but if you want to get the most out of your team and company (and you should if you're running a startup) I think you should look at in person options again once things are somewhat normal if you want an advantage. Some sort of hybrid office(with dedicated per employee offices)+WFH flexibility is probably your best option.
Aww, after all that, we don't get to hear how the episode with the website and the white supremacists ends??
In a non democratic system citizens can revolt peacefully against such policies.

A company is hardly better. Google could have decided to let the unhappy employees go. Most of them would probably have stayed and wiped their tears with their comp anyway.
Podman can use runc or their own runtime crun https://github.com/containers/crun so it should be able to work without much drama :tm:

>The end result of this is that it often feels like everyone at the top is maliciously incompetent.

What's really going on is that a torrent of digital change is being unleashed on the world. That change is significantly changing the skills needed by leaders.

I'm not sure if the flood of wildly successful leaders having a technical background is correlation or causation, but I am looking forward to knowing someday.

I could have bet there was a low quality / compressed image on this when I saw Microsoft. Low and behold the site logo is low res.

Why is that at MS... Switching to teams everyone’s face turned to mush which while it might save on aggregate network traffic, it greatly reduces the niceness of the conversation.
Probably to prevent people from saying things to co-workers that they would not want to say publicly.
I'm admittedly not a developer but I used to think that the lack of expansive whiteboards was one of the real failings of remote communication. And it still can be. But I've also find that shared Google Docs work better in a lot of situations than whiteboards and post-its all over the place in a big conference room.

(That said, if whiteboards are important to a team, I would imagine there's software for sharing tablet drawing. I've heard there is. I just haven't investigated.)
For everybody who is trying to relate this to current controversies, read W. H. Auden’s letter of Feb 2nd.

“ I agree with you

“a) That Art and Politics (and Morals) are not unrelated, but the relation is in the work itself. There are works of fairly high aesthetic value which present attitudes which are poisonous, and they present a problem to a publisher, and he has to decide whether the public are grown up enough to enjoy the first without harm because they are sufficiently aware that the second is poison.

“But this is not, I believe, the issue in the Pound case. E.g. The contents of the poems in no way resemble the contents of the broadcasts. [That is, the poems were lyrics that had nothing to do with fascism or the war.]

“b) An artist, or any other figure, who acquires some special status in the community, has a special responsibility. But that, surely, only means, that if he behaves badly or criminally, his act should be judged more severely. I get very exasperated with the people who argue that Pound should be acquitted or let down gently because he is a poet, which is obviously nonsense. The only claim for leniency can be exactly what it would be for any other criminal, on the grounds that he is mad, which is a matter for the court and the medical experts, not the public.

“Actually—it is a very minor point—I have never met or heard of anyone who, out of admiration for Pound’s work, embraced his political opinions though I know, and I’m sure you do, of several who share his opinions but would certainly be incapable of reading his poems.”
Some other possibilities (guesses):

- Banning of transfats

- Better dietary and fitness practices in general

- People getting on daily antivirals if they have HSV
"My dad was abusive and killed himself and I'm happier now."

If the child is better off with their dad killing themselves, that's a failure of society to protect the child who was being abused, or possibly the child has inherited some sociopathic tendencies.

For most people, the suicide of a parent is traumatic, regardless of whether there was abuse.
> But Congress cannot make administrative law

They could, but it would be kind of pointless (that is, Congress could adopt a statute giving an executive officer a non-discretionary ministerial duty to issue administrative regulation with precisely specified content, but it's just easy to pass a statute law with the same effect. Administrative lawmaking is not an independent power.)

> or enforce law.

What are the offices of Sergeant at Arms of each the House and Senate, if they aren’t law enforcement bodies directly controlled by the respective Houses of Congress?
Being able to swing public sentiment by showing the right people the right set of "ads" carries a lot of power.
> The government is deeply enmeshed in these tech companies' products, from requiring real verified names to censorship and other draconian policies.

This simply has no factual evidences, let me give you examples:

One claims CCP install party committee in all companies, and those committee controls major personnel appointment, and other critical managerial activities, etc. As we inquired, there is no open report whatsoever about such powerful "committee"...

The person then gave a link of a old USSR organization [2]. For all we know CCP is about as different than USSR than US is to USSR...

As for the Chinese internet law [3], does not apply to company like TikTok, which explicitly does not allow mainlander to join the network. See [4], "Important: TikTok checks your cell’s SIM card at startup and if you are using a Chinese SIM it will block the access."; there is no way the company voluntarily to bend to a law that it has no obligation to comply...

Some sites and app have small question mark icons that can be pressed to reveal more information - tooltips.
The fad ended and became the norm. Like Agile/Scrum.
The US is not a true democracy. The voting system is such that there can never be more than two parties that have any chance of winning at all. Meanwhile, both of the two parties are legally private corporations that are allowed to select candidates any way they choose.

As a consequence, if those in control of both parties want something (which was the case for the Iraq War), there is absolutely no way for the people to vote against it.

This is without even talking about how consent is manufactured.
My first ever laptop, and in fact first ever computer that I did not share with someone else was a Toshiba Satellite A100 that I purchased when I was 22. I actually needed it for a job I got (not having a computer provided was in hindsight a bad sign) and the company was so bad I left in 3 months. The Toshiba was a decent laptop though until 3 years later I switch to a Macbook, and have had Macbooks since. It seems many other people followed that same path so sad as it is, it's not a surprise.

This is why I'm in a suburb working from home. I do not want to ever not be near a city with things to do. I grew up in a very rural area and I hated it. There is a nostalgia uptick every now for the simple life now and then and I remember how terrible it was to be around uneducated rednecks and push it from my mind.
I'm not contradictory to your statement. Or your explanation hasn't touch my potential flaw if exists. Let me put in this way:

There is at least some "thing" that can not be proved without cause inconsistency. To avoid the inconsistency to prove the "thing" which become true we need to create a high order system in which then the "thing" is truth but also cause the same dilemma in the new bigger system that new "thing" will show up that need another high order system. So it's correct that no system can contain all truth while keeping consistent. This is the point you want to express in your statement, right? (Actually it's Godel theorem in plain English itself)

What I try to say is: if its not provable in current system so it can not be called true within current system. I could be wrong at this part but not what you tried to explain which I already agree.
> the GOP has campaigned for years against government spending and making massive cuts to the budget.

I think you mean massive cuts to taxes. I don't remember the last time they actually significantly cut the overall budget, hence the massive deficits they inevitably run up.

And that's where I find this disingenuous. They're sure concerned about deficits, now, but it's odd that they don't seem to have similar concerns when talking about massive tax cuts that enlarge the deficit while disproportionately benefit the wealthy.

Of course, the inevitable answer is to plug their ears and chant "Laffer curve", despite no recent tax cut having ever paid for itself..
I don’t think Apple set the standard for free software updates - they just needed to do that to compete with VC and Adversing funded Browsers and web apps.

That is where the idea that software should be free or cheap came from.

As for ‘allowing’ one dollar apps. It seems like you are proposing that Apple should be punished for not entering into a price fixing arrangement to artificially inflate software prices.

I have some sympathy for wishing they had done this, but this is exactly what they tried with books, and they were subjected to antitrust action.

Keeping prices artificially high is illegal - you can’t blame Apple for not doing it.

Making software free or cheap was already a fait accompli, thanks to the web and VC funded startups.

Apple actually reversed that partially by creating a store that was trustworthy enough for people to spend some money on software again.

It is simply not true that Apple caused the race to the bottom. Look back at media from the time and you can confirm this.
Basically yes and insane NIMBY regulations have kept the city from reducing the cost of living via more open housing regulations and support for multiunit housing and ridiculous amounts of permitting.
In 2006, Congress passed a law which required the USPS to fund _75 years_ worth of employee pensions in advance.
You wanna talk about taxes being wasted? Go look at Congress; they've been trying to kill the USPS for years.

There are two other conditions/premises that, arguably, play a bigger role in Gödel's theorems:

1. The theory must be strong enough to do a certain amount of arithmetic

2. The axioms of the theory must be computably enumerable

So, you can have relatively weak theories in which the incompleteness results don't hold. A major example here is comes from Gödel's _completeness_ theorem (notice "completeness" not "INcompleteness") which says: in first-order logic a statement is true if and only if its provable.

You can also have strong theories whose axioms are not computably enumerable. Start with something like the Peano axioms and consider the set of all true statements in that theory. We can take any set we want as axioms, so what if we take the set of all true statements in Peano arithmetic as our axioms?

Now every valid "proof" is one line long since what was previous a theorem is now an axiom, but we've kicked the can down the road. How do we figure out whether something is an axiom in this new system or not?

This latter system is called "true arithmetic" Gödel's incompleteness theorems don't apply there, either.
> There's basically 0 chance this would be legal if you're a private company.

In the USA it would absolutely be legal and you would be bound by a binding arbitration clause and a non-disclosure + non-disparagement clause.

You might even be bound by a license / ToS which prevents you from comparing the capabilities of that system against a better system[1].

It's absolutely essential to be able to change vsetvli in the middle of a kernel.

It is expected that in a future expanded Vector instruction set with 48 bit or 64 bit opcodes the vtype will be explicitly encoded in every instruction and can change every instruction.

Right now the vsetvli is setting (slightly) persistent state that affects following instructions. You're allowed to put one before every vector instruction if you want, without significant execution penalty -- there will be a little, from extra instruction fetch and decode -- but similar to doing, say, an integer add between each vector instruction.

The natural implementation even now is to have each vector instruction pick up the current vtype when it is decoded and carry it along with it through the pipeline as a few extra bits of opcode.

You certainly don't want to have any stalls or pipeline flushes just because the vtype changes.

Not really. Most of what is only available on PACER is nuts and bolt lawyering.

Opinions and orders are available for free from government sources. Also, important motions and other filings are usually made available too.

It costs money to run PACER, so fees are required, like for many government services. The issue here is that the collected fees were higher than needed, providing a slush fund that did not require congressional appropriation.

Similarly, the USPTO is self-funded by user fees that are over priced. The excess fees provide a slush fund for congress.
"COVID is over in Sweden" is a pretty bold claim with ~400 daily infections, and increasing again as per https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6...

Just like in other EU countries, it is now the younger population which seems mostly affected, and thus the mortality is lower - which is ultimately some good news.

Summer holidays are now almost over though, so people are traveling home from vacations abroad, are going back to work, schools will start up soon and people finally get access again to health care (good luck seeing a doctor in July in Sweden). The impact remains to be seen, but it would be surprising if most other EU countries see infections increasing but not Sweden.

I remain pretty skeptical of this Swedish exceptionalism, so my guess is this blog post will not age well.
Serious question. How long before medium starts suing outline, archive.org and others?
I am all for leaders taking risks but talking to law enforcement without a lawyer or without contacting HR first (for professional matters) would probably be outside my limits.
> The way you process risk and handle fear has more impact on what kind of career you have than any other single factor.

Depends on how the organisations you are in value risk taking and fear.

If your manager is running from death, your appetite for risk is not a positive.
That's an issue in many truly rural locations. But you don't need gigabit connections to work from home perfectly adequately and 50 Mbit or so connectivity is available in large areas.

the "they" is the difference.

"they" in the USA is much more democratic (though clearly it is not perfect)

"they" in the CCP is almost exclusively a small number of mostly unchecked elites such as Xi
Agreed. If I could have a car pick me up and take me to work then I would be a bit more friendly to the idea. The commute here is brutal.
Damn, you‘re right about the comma on German num blocks. I’ve avoided anything but US Keyboards for over a decade. Local keyboards are just another pain, like OS wide locals.

They were not. The school resource officer when I was in high school used to tailgate student to get them to speed then write tickets. Entertainingly, his son was quite the cocaine enthusiast in high school. Now his son is the resource officer. Cops in schools is a waste of time and money.
The new "next gen" Jira projects remove all the features, but the experience is just as bad. Seems to be a fundamental Jira problem.
> Can't let rents drop under market forces, can't let banks go bankrupt, landlords can't take a hit.

Sure, that'd be fine (well, it probably wouldn't be, but I'll go with it for the sake of argument) if we had months or years for the market to react.

But it doesn't work that fast.

By the time rents correct you'll have millions of homeless. But I guess that's better because... reasons?

> I don't think people should be out on the street, but someone responsible has to feel the pain for the mistakes here otherwise the root cause, whatever it is, will not be fixed.

Huh?

The root cause is a once in a hundred year pandemic.

What other solution would you propose, other than a time machine?
*a majority of the electoral college, representing a second-place minority of eligible individuals casting ballots for Presidential electors, selected one of the two candidates put forwards by the private corporations that decide every four years of a different process to select either of the two candidates, and that are not legally required to hold or respect the results of primaries

Please do note that is a John Bolton claim with no independent confirmation and denied by Trump. And no single nation - not even the US - has any power to give a "green" or "red" light to China currently.

The only way any pressure would work is with a league of nations applying sanctions.
I got a ~$250 Toshiba in 2012 for college. I added a small SSD and 4GBs ram so maybe $350 total. A few years later I replaced the CD drive with a hard drive since the SSD filled up pretty quick. I still use it daily 8 years later.

My only complaint is the cheap plastic case has deteriorated so it's partially held together by tape now. I also had to replace the screen hinges a few years ago.

But compared to the Acer before it (2008 bad Nvidia GPU) and my wife's trash HP laptop the Toshiba has been worth every penny.
Create a PR and fix them.

From my point of view, just about any non-tracking ad is ethically okay. Very highly deceptive ads are going to be bad too; things like push-polls or ones that make demonstrably false factual claims.

If your ads play loud songs, pop up a dozen (non-tracking) windows or flash annoying animations over the page, I'm not going to block those, I'm just going to not visit your site.

Also if one more site tells me to "disable my ad blocker" when I'm running privacy badger, I'm going to scream. I'm not blocking advertising, at least how it is understood in the general sense. If a newspaper contained an eye-tracker that measured my engagement and I put a piece of tape over the lens, no reasonable person would call that "ad blocking".
All those things work fine as long as you don't penny pinch on servers. If you do ignore scaling, then yeah it's gonna be slow and horrible.
you can just request archive.org to not archive you and they respect it
Its baffling that lots of government still want to continue the lockdown.
Perhaps because the largest data collecting companies are situated in the Bay? The article mentions FANG as key examples, but literally says "Oppose It All".
It's not a "miracle". Being charged per minute was efficient because you were tying up a cost-time based resource (a phone line). People don't like it because they have to keep track of another dimension of cost, but we still have parallel costs with cell phones and ISP connections (either by usage time or by transfer size-time).
I don't think there's any point in discussing the nuances of an arbitrary set of rules. Let's hope Microsoft or Google give Apple a more serious competition on the hardware front.

Apple will continue to make it more and more expensive for its customers to switch away (as any other company would) so there better be more leverage for the consumers either through competition or regulation.
The NSA cannot legally do so (usually, exceptions exist), or utilise the information specifically in a court of law. Legal definitions of what does or does not specifically constitute "search" are vague to the point of meaninglessness.

The four other members of the Five Eyes are under no such restrictions, among others, and parallel construction can at least putatively separate the fruit from its poisonous tree.

Say you're the NSA. By law, there are certain sorts of spying you're not lawfully allowed to do on Americans. (And agency rules constraining you too.) But wait. Allied countries have different laws and surveillance rules. If there are times when America's spy agency has an easier time spying on Brits, and times when Britain's spying agency has an easier time spying on Americans, it's easy to see where the incentives lead. Put bluntly, intelligence agencies have an incentive to make themselves complicit in foreign governments spying on their own citizens.

The lack of this feature is probably intentional
