> But for everyone else, internal expression wasn't squelched out of fear of external forces.

I recall my reaction when doing that training; it was less a feeling of internal expression being restricted by force. But rather a vague feeling in the back of my mind, that if I care about the value of my stock comp, it probably makes sense to avoid putting my company in trouble by mistake.

I'm not saying that's the most rational reaction but that's what I recall feeling anyway (this was a few years ago). A slightly cynical take would perhaps be that my company bought my complicity for a few RSUs. :shrug:
Uber also had fired a bunch of people from India. (I'm from India). But I was in complete shock when they started hiring again just a month after firing so many people. I think using the pandemic as a scapegoat they got to clean up some highly paid resources and recruit new ones bargaining (given pandemic those who looked for job didn't have much to ask for). I guess there must be some government regulatory body looking into such type of firing and hiring process.

You can certainly install Sysbox on an AWS EC2 VM and launch system containers inside that VM.

Note that Sysbox currently requires Ubuntu Linux, because the latest Ubuntu releases use pretty new kernels and carry kernel patches that Sysbox relies on in order to perform some of the OS-virtualization in userland. See this doc for the distros supported by Sysbox:

https://github.com/nestybox/sysbox/blob/master/docs/distro-c...

We are actively working on adding support for more distros.
That was true about 5 years ago. I think the last couple of years have brought some breakthroughs in China on this front after about 30 years of trying. Not for commercial aircraft but definitely for military jets.
The difference these days is that US-based developers are going to be facing most of the same hurdles as the international teams. It's a blow to their competitiveness.
Volcanism can occur at both divergent (e.g., Iceland / mid-Atlantic rift, African rift valley) and convergent (e.g., Cascadia, Japan, Chile, subduction zone) plate boundaries, as well as in mid-plate regions subject to mantle plumes (Hawaii and, I believe, Yellowstone).

I actually liked Hipchat. It did what it was supposed to do - provide instant chat with colleagues - without the overhead and frills of Slack. It was simple and reliable. I'm not sure why it was so disliked.
reversing 1 won't stop 2 though. I don't understand your logic.

Why would someone go through the hassle of hiring and bringing a H1B at higher salary in USA when they can hire the same person in India at much lower cost.
You won't actually get charged if your search volume and page views are low. It is still dumb that basic functionality is nickel and dimed like it's some sort of 70's timeshare.

That makes sense. I haven't done really any pitching (other than the idea to friends) because I've been presuming I need a network. Are you saying I should pitch to the people that I do know to and the quality of this pitch will determine my eventual success regardless of who they are or if they access to capital? I can see this being true.
In film photography, contact printing involves placing a developed negative directly over a piece of print paper and exposing the combination to light to create a print on the print paper.

With sheet film, there is a simple 1:1 relationship between the developed negative and the contact print.

However with roll film there are multiple images on a developed roll. A contact sheet is made by contact printing developed roll film and is typically used to catalog the images for future reference and/or evaluate images for enlarged printing.

Another way to think about it is a contact sheet is a set of thumbnails contact printed from 35mm or medium format roll film.

Unfortunately not. Sysbox requires "true root" privileges, so it can't run inside a system container deployed by Sysbox itself (since that system container would use the user namespace). You can run Sysbox inside a privileged container however, and in fact the Sysbox test framework relies on this heavily.

What use case do you envision for running sysbox in sysbox?
I'm not familiar enough with Django, but assume it being very similar to Rails (Ruby).

The migrations and ORM allows for a lot of indexing, but lacks the last 20%, which -logically- is DB specific indexing. But also the indexing that gets the majority of the improvements.

Locking is another thing: lowest commnon denomimator is bad. But works, for sqlite, mysql and postgres (and probably oracle, never tried). Yet is so naive that it does more harm that good.
In Rails they've worked on this and moved far beyond the lowest-common-denominator with Adapters and other patterns.

That adds such an amount of indirections that it does more harm than good, when debugging where that weird "why did it choose to use a GIST and not a partial BTREE here".

(edit: kept story in line with one usecase. sorry)
You don't need to be paying $2,500 a month for a studio apartment in Manhattan or San Francisco to get good Internet and reasonable delivery times. Sure, you'll get speedier delivery, and that's worth something, but it's a hell of a price to pay for it.
I check in on Xonsh every once in a while. The first test I do is try and suspend a sleep into the background. This has never worked on xonsh afaict. I am excited to give Xonsh a spin, but I can't until it gets its job control story sorted out.
This is very easy to answer. It depends on your context, your environment!

In a family, closer connections are part of living together. We see the same proximity effects in people working in teams.

When there is a need for improved collaborations between people, teams and organizations, the environment need to kindle and support such initiatives. This is called leadership.

For some individuals and roles, it is more natural to make connections across "the chasms", but this is dependent on individuality, position and opportunity. Thus in professional organizations, you want enabling this to be part of leadership and training of an organic organization.

Everyone can't connect to everyone all the time, so there needs to be some design and maintenance of such designs. Though personal connections remains an individual experience and skill, the environment must cease to sabotage initiatives, become more mature and professional.
I don't think the right time to make that transition is while they're trying to switch to ARM. Right now, they're probably trying to get things switched by making as few changes as possible. That eases the transition for everybody. I'm not sure why they would want to deal with both things at the same time. They are both huge undertakings. Not to mention, the two things are really unrelated. Besides, how does CPU architecture affect the ability to lock the OS into only running App Store apps?
To be a partner at a VC you have to have money and connections (though with enough money, connections is a pretty easy problem to solve).

To be an intern/employee for a VC you need to have basically graduated from one of the big business schools: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Kellogg, Wharton, Booth... there are others but not many. If you go to one of these schools it's relatively easy to get the connections you need.

If you want to be an intern/employee and you can't get to one of these schools or don't want to, you need to specialize in something that VCs want. That specialty is usually something data driven. Data Analytics is a really big deal for VCs. If you can do that at an above Masters Level they may look at you without a Masters Degree, business degree, or degree in anything at all. Though it will still be a bit of an uphill battle. And honestly, you probably won't get paid as well as if you took those data analytics skills to some other company.

Unfortunately, if you want to do something other than Data Analytics for a VC, you're kind of up a creek. Those big business schools are cranking out people and they have good connections. They will take the job before you get a chance.
What laws do you think would make things better and which ones are not being enforced?

What kinds of regulation on social networking and or search would produce a better product?
Yeah, I went through the CDC site and most places are 3 or 4 with the same message (the NZ message is currently a 1). It may seem silly to just put that warning for basically any country at first but really when you think about it yes, you shouldn't be traveling during a pandemic. I.e. "warning on traveling to <x>" does not mean "because traveling inside the US is a good idea" it means "exercise caution when traveling during a pandemic".

It's unfortunate both the article and comments instead only talk about the most polarizing interpretations rather than look into the story.
I thought Toughbooks are made by Panasonic? Did they buy the brand from Toshiba at some point?
"Methods This analysis was performed in aggregated data from individuals >65 years of age in 7 population-based cohort studies in the United States and Europe from the Alzheimer Cohort Consortium. First, we calculated age- and sex-specific incidence rates for all-cause dementia, and then defined nonoverlapping 5-year epochs within each study to determine trends in incidence. Estimates of change per 10-year interval were pooled and results are presented combined and stratified by sex."

I thought it could be related to demographics, but they calculated using age-specific rates. Still, if the age bins are not small enough there could be some leftover bias (more older people in each bin for older countries). But that's for between-country comparison. The age distribution within the US itself might not have changed enough to account for the reduction.

But this happens every week, and it’s been happening for years. The only way to get the attention of someone at Google is by making a post on HN or Twitter and hoping your audience is big enough that it becomes uncomfortable for Google.

Yeah it’s nice that this person is getting help. But what about all the other people who don’t have an audience who can raise their tickets up to this level? Why doesn’t Google support just work the way it’s supposed to work? I’d be willing to celebrate this if it was a rare occurrence but it’s not. It’s way too common. If there are any humans at Google, they sure don’t seem to care about their paying customers.
⌘F3 shows the desktop. You can have a button for this on the Touch Bar.

The Mac has been released in 1984 with the close icon on the left side of the window's title bar, and keyboard shortcuts using the command key located directly to the left (later also to the right) of the space bar.

Windows has been released over a year later in 1985 with its own paradigm for these. So it seems like in fact, Windows has been designed to do things differently from the Mac, not the other way around.
I sincerely hope the service providers sue Apple (and win). This is blatant abuse of their market position. Better if the App Store gets broken up into its own independent company.
UEFI can also be "cleaned" in most cases.
For fuck’s sake. It’s simple, really:
- DMY is much more popular than MDY, in almost all of Europe, Africa, South America, and in large parts of Asia.
- DM is a common short form of DMY when the year is not ambiguous
=> I highly doubt your assertion that MD is more popular than DM, and in fact I am certain that 1 February is a much more common way of parsing 01/02 than 2 January.

Note that none of these points require the absence of any other way of writing dates. You could indeed argue, preferably with examples and not hypotheticals, that some locales exist in which MD would be the natural way, and that they outweigh the others.

Now you can move the goalposts once more if you really need to. It really is tedious.

Looks like the answer is 4 years.
When Google starts to have any inclination to put a bag over my head if I search the wrong thing, sure.

When Google starts having an interest in being able to blackmail people to get them to spy on their country or give up IP, then sure.

When the US Government can unilaterally demand security cooperation from Google in any way, shape, or form like the Chinese government can, then sure.

When the tech companies actually start censoring aggressively and hunting people down(rather than just removing enough to satisfy angry people), then sure.

One problem is the data. The other (larger) problem is how each controlling entity wants to use the data.

Google wants to sell ads. They don’t care about your porn preferences, whether you have a mistress, or whether you do drugs. Maybe the ads approach is obnoxious, but that is all it is. They want to sell stuff, not take over the world.

The Government of China wants power. They want influence. They want information. They want control. And no Chinese company is allowed to refuse its pursuit of those.

And even if both countries required the same absolute cooperation from their tech companies, governments In the West are very limited in their ability to take the kind of actions against their citizens that the Government of China can.

The US Government isn’t even allowed to tax a newspaper excessively, yet alone throw the editor in jail for running critical content.
Sounds like the same method as the US president. It hasn’t worked out for him.
C.Nop isn't a solution, if you implement a compliant RISC V processor with the C extension you need to handle all the possible case, for example an instruction straddling several pages.
I doubt the Chinese will take any rash, knee-jerk reaction here. They are very predictable and will stick to what is in their best interest. Since there is no democratic government either, these decisions are not at risk of changing - unless XiJinping loses a coop, which at this point is an impossibility.
Somehow I imagine that if I and four other co-workers decided to be the only five to come back into the office, they'd still make the five of us sit next to each other elbow to elbow and leave the rest of the building completely empty.
As far as I can tell, Chris didn't immediately do anything that would have justified transferring it back either. Raymond was sick of dealing with low quality support requests, and so transferred the project to Chris. Over time, Raymond didn't like the direction Chris was taking the project, however, and started recommending his uBlock Origin fork for general consumption.

More context on how things were around the time of the initial transfer: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/38#issuecomment-918...
Seems like it’s directed at the only Google employee they were able to get in contact with. Sucks that it’s directed at the wrong person, but that’s 100% Google’s fault for not properly staffing their support teams.
I don't have an opinion about whether PACER's fees are too high or not, or whether metered pricing is the right plan, but our court systems are generally underfunded, severely, and that problem causes far more justice equity problems than PACER fees do.
Lot of talk about TSMC building a plant in Wisconsin but as far as I could dig up its basically the same as what they already have in Nanjing. A play meant to make them appear like a neutral party.

> Apple can choose which 3rd parties are able to allow installs (and hopefully some regulation prevents this from being anti-competitive).

What regulation could ever make Apple behave nicely to sub-stores who are eating their lunch? I doubt there would ever be a truly effective way to do that.

Instead, why not just tell Apple to allow side-loading (like basically every other consumer-grade OS has since the history of computers began)? If they want to include a 3rd-party app store in the Apple App Store, that's fine. If they don't, also fine. But I should be able to run whatever programs I want

To answer your question: yes, and it has always been the case. Participation in government isn’t the same as consenting to or choosing who governs.

Attributes are strings, but web components can have properties like any other object, and you can set properties on elements from JS and almost all template libraries.

Properties can be complex objects, do not trigger attributeChangedCallback, and don't need to be serialized.

What are you using to build your web components if you think they can only take strings?
I think this is a very complicated idea. At its root, all secure systems are based on trust of certain entities (be that a bank, a piece of Open Source cryptography, or just a company with values/incentives align with you)

Apple has built a secure system, but that is only secure if you trust apple (i.e. one software update could break a secure enclave). The next question is, can the system still be secure, but the trust decentralized. This is complicated and hard, but I would say it is not impossible

I'm noticing we're about 40/60 with more wanting to go back to the office at my midsize company. I'm happily with the 40, but the company is just using this time to spruce up the office just waiting for our return.
I find communication and the work being better now then when we're in the office. All the cliques and hallway talk is more online, so I have a better clue what's going on. I wish it would stay that way.

Unfortunately, game theory says that remote work will not stay once people can go back to work from the office safely.

The reality is that there is a real advantage in working in person. Whether it’s increased trust, communication, or lower friction. We could see it pre-COVID in a he fact that there are barely any successful remote offices (let alone individuals).

This means that employees would see advantages to coming to work, and those that don’t would fare worse in promo and productivity on average, bringing the equilibrium state back to the office.
Funny. The first laptop I saw was my dad's clunky old Portege (from the '90s?). Tried to bring it back to life the other day but it looks like the disk is dead and I didn't care _that_ much.
There's no way to predict in advance who's going to become a government official. When they do, and if they used WeChat before then, the damage is done. Material on those close to the officials can also be used against them in similar manner.

Again, not condoning the restriction of personal freedoms, but the national security angle is not totally without merit.

Can somebody expound a little more on what the fraud was?

Edit: I believe the tweet is referring to the 2015 accounting scandal (listed on wikipedia here[0]), more information on how it happened here[1].

From what I understand, the oscillations come from the fact that corporate leadership handed down profit targets for business unit presidents to meet, with the expectation that failure to meet them = you're fired. So the business unit presidents worked with accountants to fudge the numbers at the end of every quarter to meet the unrealistic targets. Then the numbers would revert back to reality at the start of the next quarter. Corporate leadership was only looking at end-of-quarter numbers so they just kept increasing the (already unrealistic) profit targets year after year? Or maybe they understood what was going on but liked the effect it was having on their stock options/bonuses/whatever, so they kept perpetuating the fraud? But then again, why allow profits to revert back to reality, why not fudge profits all the way to hide the oscillations?

My vote is on corporate leadership incompetence. When you have a dictatorship-like culture of strict obedience, you start having an information propagation problem. Your underlings will suppress information they know you won't like (because you'll punish them) and will only feed you the truth when convenient. They will also outright lie if they have to, to save themselves from your wrath.
