I think she's saying that it's odd to her, as someone who innately enjoys doing highly consequential work, that other people don't share in her enthusiasm. Similarly, coworkers must find it odd that she doesn't actively dodge such work or deal with it in a robotic, CYA manner, devoid of enthusiasm. Her realization about them and their realization about her are asymmetric in consequence. Even if she judges them it won't affect them, because they're more of the norm (a tribe of like-minded people). However, she stands out, and that makes her life harder in a Kafkaesque bureaucracy. The occasional "joke" or compliment about her enthusiasm might actually be underhanded trivialization. Clearly she finds the fulfillment to be worth it though.

I assume it takes working for the government to fully understand. Risk averse people pile into cushy government jobs. After they shoehorn themselves into that career, they become even more risk averse. Then every few years they see people take risks and get fired for it. The aggregate effect of this is that not only might they be dismissive towards those whom they perceive as risk-takers, they might be actively hostile towards them. This is for two reasons. One is that the "risks" might pay off in a visible way (more on that later), making the other bureaucrats who are vying for a promotion look bad. The other is that they fear the risk will affect them in some way, and they want no part of it. They imagine either more work on their plate (God forbid) or adverse consequences because of this "naive troublemaker who just doesn't get it." To make it even worse, it’s way easier to just promote the people you like in government. Guess who risk averse people will tend to promote? Guess what type of work is made more visible to senior management? So hard work is not rewarded as well as at corporations, unless it’s a very narrow kind of hard work that adheres to the most literal interpretation of one’s job responsibilities. Those are my 2 cents, I could be way off about the author’s intent there.
There's a distinction between technical truth and being candid. It's like saying that Hitler was a war hero who managed to kill a key nazi leader - technically true, but deliberately misleading.
Heh.

I'm not talking about opinions, I'm talking about case outcomes, involved parties, lawyers, judge info, terminated parties, dates, docket info, context, complaints. And furthermore, I'm not talking about individual cases. The interest for "normal" people largely comes from the aggregate of PACER records, with analysis done on top of that. In other words - because we can't get aggregate records of court information, we can't run analysis that would be interesting or useful for understanding what's happening. Surely you can see how this data could inform the US in understanding how the law is applied throughout. If not, I'll gladly type up a list of 50 kinds of analysis that would be interesting to normal people.

The people who would run this analysis are technical journalists with backgrounds in court data.

This is not feasible in a time where freelance journalists have to do preliminary research before even writing a pitch.

If you didn't do any work for a few days no one would notice? That does not compute. What do you do for a living? If I didn't show up for even a couple of days they would send out the police and possibly the state militia due to there being a lot of "village knowledge" at my company.
The Swedish government never locked down or encouraged any sort of social distancing. Their plan was herd immunity and they appear to have gotten it right.
As well as very slow verilog RTL emulation, pk is also used to allow you to run standard User-mode RISC-V binaries with many kinds of systems call in them on:

- software emulators

- cores implemented in an FPGA

- prototype chips

Whatever it is, you only have to implement the CPU core, some RAM, and some sort of two-way communications channel -- whether a pipe, UART, USB Serial, ethernet or WIFI.

On the other end of the communications channel you run riscv-fesvr (Front End SerVeR)

pk traps systems calls, serializes the arguments, send them to fesvr. fesvr unpacks the arguments, makes the system call on the host Linux machine, serializes the results, and sends them back to the RISC-V core running in that FPGA or prototype chip or Verilator or whatever.

So your test programs get to use not only printf() but also navigate the host filesystem, open files, get the time etc etc.

A proper Linux Kernel on the system under test would require megabytes of RAM, various I/O devices etc.

pk requires only a few kb of RAM and a communications channel.
Sweden is effectively as locked down as anywhere else.

Is that true? Are all the schools closed? Are most people working from home? Are most businesses shutdown?

That's not what I've read (outside this article).
Finland has roughly half Sweden's population but 5% of their COVID deaths. Sweden's economy contracted 8.6% to the EU's 11.9%.

Hope those 5000+ unnecessary deaths were worth 3.3%.

"Considering that 70% of those who have died of covid are over 80 years old, quite a few of those 6,000 would have died this year anyway."

Wow.
So the first term I searched was "cognitive". Search for it yourself, and click the first result.

> It's for those of us who sympathize with the cancelled to create spaces where they can continue to thrive.

But what if cancel culture doesn't let you? What if the very act of having any sympathy at all with the cancelled, let alone creating spaces where they can continue to thrive, marks you out for cancellation as well?

To put this into the context of the Cerf-Auden exchange, what if Cerf, on finding that Auden "sympathized" with the cancelled Pound, had not responded as he did, but instead had tried to get other publishers to refuse to publish Auden's work? Or had hired some private investigators to get some dirt on Auden? Or had, by devious routes, gotten someone to form a mob of rioters and vandalize Auden's house? Those things seem a lot more like what "cancel culture" is these days.

They're not different from built-in elements and don't need special treatment.

The way that frameworks that work well with web components do it is be not giving special treatment to things. Vue, Angular, and lit-html all treat built-ins and custom elements then same, and they have different syntax for setting attributes and properties.

React treats elements different from components and sets properties on React components and attributes on HTML elements, with no syntax to set properties on elements. Then it special cases a list of attributes so that things like `class` map to `classList`.

So... remove special cases, add general abilities, and it all just works.
I agree with you that there's a huge gap between the intended legal system and the actual legal system, but even those officers who plant evidence will give at least lip service to the "innocent until proven guilty" framework.
Can you elaborate? He explains correctly what is happening right now in countries with hard lockdowns, like Spain.
> "it is nonsensical to compare covid to other major pandemics […] Covid will never even come close to those numbers. And yet many countries have shut down their entire economies"

> "That makes covid a mere blip in terms of its effect on mortality."

This sounds wrong to me for several reasons. First of all, it's silly assuming that other countries are shutting down their economies without a very good reason for doing so. As I understood it, the "good reason" for doing so was that the infection & death rate was growing so fast, that it was putting hospitals & morgues way beyond their capacity. At the same time, the situation was keeping non-COVID, hospital-worthy visits out of the healthcare system, thus creating a massive public health problem.

(Let's not forget the improvised hospitals, improvised morgues, etc. These were very real.)

It'd be interesting knowing why somehow the COVID cases 'vanished' from this doctor's hospital. But instead of looking into why this happened, this doctor is just saying "turns out that the problem went away, so in the end it was good that we didn't bother too much about it".

And the thing is - we're not through it yet. Thankfully the death rate seems not being as bad as we thought it could be, but this could very well be down to current measures such as isolating elder people, testing at-risk populations, higher awareness levels, and the fact that the average infection age is now much lower than it was in March. So, now, healthcare systems are not collapsing.

There's a myriad of variables that likely affect the virus spread and outcome. For example, the age and characteristics of the populations where the virus is spreading, how population is distributed around the territory (and its density), how frequently this population "comes together" (social behavior - ever seen a swede profusely hugging and kissing?, public transportation, remote working…), and so on.

And when it comes to the healthcare system capacity debate: Sweden frequently put elder, infected people straight in palliative care (http://archive.is/VC5vb), bypassing hospitals. Other countries did admit elder people into hospitals, thus putting more strain into the healthcare system, which later on prompted a lockdown to prevent said system from collapsing.
A newspaper that includes a dedicated classifieds ads section? Fine. A newpaper that runs advertising through its editorial sections? Not fine, and the influence of advertising accounts held by major corporations with newspapers on how and what news is written is well known.

I'd argue that most newspapers and magazines that ran advertising were toxic too and played a large part in promoting the consumer culture that took hold in the 20th century and helped to push harmful products that would not have been taken up nearly as widely without huge advertising spends (cigarettes, sugary breakfast cereals, soft drinks, etc). But with a printed product sold as a bundled package of editorial and advertising it was hard for the consumer to protect themselves from the harmful advertising. Now, when content is delivered digitally and we have the means to screen out the unwanted advertising we'd be fools to not do so (and fools to be convinced by a bogus argument that we need to pollute our brains as our part of a supposed 'deal').

At one point I worked at a company founded in 2005ish, so one of their core things was an ontology. We found that while some very generic things were reusable (person and address, say) almost everything that drove business logic was different, use case to use case.

Sweden's death rate is down to zero today and has been trending down since mid April. Summer Holidays did not start until late May where deaths were already half of what they were in mid April. This post isn't aging, it's already aged.
I'm US east coast working for a US west coast client, and that's complicated enough. I've got a few hours before and after work to myself, which is nice, but the workday is smack in the middle. On the upside, I can sleep in and stay up late if I want. On the downside, I often miss family dinners (less of a concern with covid) and there's no long block of time for more than errands during the week. Overall, I like it. A bigger shift would be hard. I may move to Hawaii when the plague passes, and then my day would start at 6am. That'd be rough.
I talked to a 60 year old cowboy about the dangers of horses and asked him how many times he was stepped on.

Twice. From 7yo to his early sixties. Given that horses are active participants in traffic and they will go out of their way to not step on you, they would seem to be orders of magnitude safer compared to cars.
It was interesting to listen to Bret in a podcast talking about whether it was a conspiracy of silence and in describing it as an emergent phenomena rather than being planned he was very much reading from Assange's manifesto on how they form and operate and the need for open government.
Anyone know where I can read up on implementing something better than something like http://www.davidespataro.it/modern-c-concurrency-synchronizi... without running into the kernel scheduling problems Linus ranted about?

Besides the issues like how the return values of size() and empty() can be invalidated before the functions return. And, how it would be nice to have some better support for move semantics in there.
It's the patronizing way things get pushed that is a problem. Including you pointing out someone being in the minority, followed by asking a question: the answer is kinda moot if you already established might being right as valid in your view. It's a very thin veneer of good faith, and completely transparent to the person it's done to.

If I told you to list 3 things you're grateful for each day, and hounded and sanctioned you for not doing it, if I talked about all these Nazis I know who incidentally also are not doing it, and meaningfully nodded your way every time, and made fun of you in filter bubbles... wouldn't you just do this minor thing that may actually be beneficial and is unlikely to do harm?

This is the problem, and to use a pandemic to normalize that just makes it worse, morally speaking.
I'm confused about your sentence parse notation. Isn't "fast" an adjective in one of the interpretations (namely the one parsed the same as "The company couldn't make the car safe enough")?

Doesn't that "safe" example point out something else? The example with "fast" is only ambiguous because it's common to use "fast" as both an adjective and an adverb? The sentence with "safe" doesn't sound to me like an acceptable way to say that the company's manufacturing process was too dangerous.
Wouldn't this article be considered "misinformation" on most social media sites?

I can't find anything about Anomaly Six LLC on the internet. Does anybody know what their SDK does?
Here's a summary that combines the two sections:

She has a manager who (apparently) has a low tolerance for risk. He probably got to where he is by spinning situations so that it's not his fault. He was upset that she contacted the FBI about a situation and took on more risk than he was comfortable with.

She sees herself as someone who enjoys the trappings of a job well done and doesn't mind her slow progress of ladder-climbing because she's brave and takes risks that her superiors won't reward with promotions.

I liked and identified with the writing in the second half, and it sounds like she had a good scenario to act as a substrate for her thoughts, but I don't think she did a good job merging the two.

Like you said, they feel like two distinct pieces which got bolted together. I found myself with the scroll bar near the bottom and wondered how she was going to tie back in to the original story, and was disappointed to see that she never did.
When covid is done, or effectively done, we'll be the same fundamental society we were before it started.

This bubble of tech workers aside, most people don't want to sit at home all day. I like going somewhere to work where I can socialize a little or a lot on a given day, depending on my mood. Communicate with people in person when I don't want to deal with the online trade-offs. Go to lunch with people. Leave my work at work rather than have it invade my personal space.

I don't think covid has turned me into a minority on that. I'm dealing with this subsistence level of contact because I have to, but when this is over the companies that can offer me a comfortable work space will have a recruiting advantage over the ones that can't. I'll still favor being in my city.
It would be worse if Sweden did implement lockdown.
If profit were lower because Google were forced to address cost centers they neglect (to the dismay of a limited but utterly devastated portion of their clientele), then it would effect what they saw as "profitable."
But this is also not the case for all the other countries in Europe which (according to the author) have taken the wrong approach to COVID. The more I think about it the more this article confuses and worries me. It's a thinkpiece that is not grounded in the scientific reality.
It is equal parts empowering and exhausting is what was communicated to me. “Be The Change” as quickly as possible and then GTFO.
I'm okay with that. I don't want the law to force you to like me. You don't have to like me. You don't have to hire me. You don't have to buy from me. You _do_ have to sell to me. Any action you take to distance yourself from me, you have a right to do. You also have a right to be honest about your reasons. You can't libel me, but if what you don't like about me is that I like Python 3, then go ahead.

The era of the Internet means that so many things are marginal cost. Now, refusal to carry just means they can go somewhere else. This is going to expand. Decentralization means power to the common man.
Yes let's build our reality around our vehicles and not ourselves. Ridiculous. Talk about the alienation that capitalism has created.
> Fleeing death doesn’t just hurt the people they throw under the bus, it also hurts them. They want to be respected by their employees and often know they are not. They want to be admired and often know they are not. They also feel guilty screwing people over to survive.

Wow, I never considered there must exist some people who know they are bad at their job, feel bad about it, and yet have to continue doing it to keep paying the bills. This has to be true considering the sheer number of people employed by large organizations.
MSM... isn't that a nutritional supplement?

does it aid conditions of "foaming at the mouth"?

I find your usage of intellectual terms employed in a very anti-intellectual effort of a very base nature.

What, pray tell, is the ideology of a virus?

Yes, the scientific method is probably a more sensible means of deciding things than "whatever gets my knickers in a bundle".

If you are suggesting that trained medical specialists shouldn't head pandemic intervention efforts, I respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree.

Your worldview elevates "the bad guys" and denigrates "the good guys" so there's your inverted logic and morality to deal with, pity, it must have been the secret chips in your childhood vaccines...
dunno why you got downvote, I thought your point was pretty legit. IMAO, we might even need to change common binary file formats (e.g. ELF, COFF) to accommodate this sort of feature
I guess my question was - is that true? No doubt there were some far-right groups, but from what I've read it wasn't all of them.

It just seemed like an incredibly dismissive headline. "No worries, just crazy far-right doing their crazy stuff. We can safely ignore what they have to say."

I'm really sick of this. The Verge's article [1] is the yardstick for just how far America's own self-hatred will go. To compare the present genocide of an entire culture to America's sins, right now, would be laughable but that so many Americans have bought wholesale into its fantasy. If you were to gather up the prison industrial complex and the tens of thousands failed by privatized healthcare, it would be a drop in the bucket.

The CCP's orchestrated intent to scrub out 2 peoples and their religions from the face of the earth on their way to a 3rd complete, divisible nation (Taiwan) has not been seen since Nazi Germany. This is the scale of atrocity and disrespect for the basic right of a human being to say, "I am who I am", we are dealing with at this very moment in human history.

Please, please, consider that however tough things are in the US for very many people, it can change with a vote. That is a democracy, however broken and fragile.

Forget all that Sweden is the best approach, we should copy it in America especially the very solid social health care system :)

Haha, I have such concordance with the thoughts you have written down here.
That is why China Win-Win.

It has forced the conditions that is theirs as a totalitarian country. USA cannot enforce any condition because it is a free country. And they can come in with their values. But USA cannot go in with its value.

Continue it is the downfall of the USA and humanity. That is why China has to stop Win-then-Win again (yes Win-Win is China win two times).

Open market to assist China to limit their people freedom, that is a great move by Google if only money matter.

And as said, China is poor of everything except money. Want this bad money driven out good one.
