I don't know what you consider proof. But court documents from the Stone trial as well as a Republican led senate committee both state as such. The first two links of my OP.

Are you saying that both are fabrications?
The problem I have is I lived abroad and eat all kinds of foreign foods which are hard to track. Lot's of stuff I eat I only know the local name and don't even know how to translate into English.

Makes food tracking very difficult when I eat out and don't eat at home. I use myfitnesspal simply because they have the biggest database.

IMO any completion to MFP has to some how build up a massive database which is accurate. Tough nut to crack.
> More than half of 1,000 people surveyed by Care.com said they felt like they'd let down their colleagues due to juggling children and work during the pandemic.

Frankly, it's true, they probably have. I've quickly learned that my co-workers who have kids will be less productive. But so what? This is just the reality we're all facing, and we have to account for that when planning and assigning work.

Now, I don't think that should mean that I have to pick up the slack and work 80 hour weeks (that's just generally unfair, and I'm dealing with my own COVID-related difficulties), but that does mean that a project that would normally take 3 months might now take 4 or 5 or 6. Tech companies are lucky that they mostly still get to complete their projects, even late! Companies that require in-person and in-office work to get things done aren't completing projects at all right now.

> And 45% believe their career advancement has suffered because they're juggling work and kids at home.

This is the only thing that's actually a problem. Parents shouldn't have to be judged against their pre-COVID productivity levels. That's entirely unreasonable to expect of them, and there's nothing anyone can do about that.
No, its about shutting down secondary server hardware market.
A flywheel in a vacuum floating on a magnet also just hangs there. But indeed the weight solution seems more simple.
>So good for security

This is entirely debatable. This is essentially bootguard for socketed CPUs similar to how most laptops behave. For one, it makes fixing the crap that Dell and their contractors write impossible. You cannot replace the bios with coreboot.

For all these features that require blessings, I really liked apple's use of the term notarised. Everyone should call these notarisation features rather than security ones. It's as boring and useless as going to a notary, if you have ever done that.

While we are at this, let us not forget the scam in Roald Dahl's "The Bookseller":

I was thinking about Ai dungeon the other day. I can't imagine it really is sustainable with those 10$ subscriptions covering the free play folks too. What happens whenever they get featured on some bigger website?
> The mobile web as a whole has gotten faster due to network speeds+cpu improvements.

What's distinctly lacking in that assessment is web applications getting more resource efficient, or more conservative with storage. I'd argue that hardware and CPU improvements are enabling bad tech stacks, like a friend might enable an alcoholic. Sure, you can minify, tree-shake, etc but with sufficient hardware, you don't strictly have to.

I also don't see TFA as an actual rebuttal of the hypothesis, since it focuses on the US. Half the planet has an uplink, so you're gonna end up with skewed results if you focus only on the top end of the technology distribution. While a rural connection in the US might be just as bad as a connection in rural India, I'd wager the mean and average connection speeds and latency are still way better in the US. The Internet is for everyone, not just Silicon Valley engineers on a MacBook Pro connected through fibre optics.
There were dozens of us!
People should have kids they can afford. No one is asking human beings to cease procreation.

The point is that we have made child rearing so easy and incentivized it to a point where one puny little pandemic comes around the corner and parents completely lose it and cannot cope.

If I wasn’t taken aback by the sheer number of parents who are legitimately feeling lost, I would be laughing. Are most of these people even equipped to be parents? I don’t think so. We have evolved to care for our young so they themselves can have their young and in the process we pass on our genes and memes.

That’s how we went from hunter gatherers to pastoralists to sailors to warriors to farmers to factory workers to ..here we are. What we have seemed to have lost is INSTINCT to care for our young.

Worse than outsourcing child rearing to hired help or the govt or public schools, current crop of parents seem to depend on employers to hold their hand while they raise their young.

This needs to be discouraged. This is absolutely unacceptable. Maybe there should be Parenting 101 MOOCs before people can decide if they are cut out for the challenge of parenting.

I shudder to imagine how these kids will turn out. While I think parents or anyone else who need help deserve it, every thing has a price. It’s not a favour to the world to be a parent.

On a relevant note, all of this only suggests to me that 4 day workweeks will become the norm. No one is going to go back to offices after covid evaporates. That’s how this problem is going to be resolved. It’s the only way.
I'm arguing against declining responsibility for one's choices, and against self entitlement.

We live in society because at the individual level each of us gets some benefits from doing so. When that stops being the case society will cease to exist.
I don't understand what this secures, with the exception of Dell's profit.

If it locks the CPU to a certain manufacturer, all an attacker has to do is get an identical new system and swap the CPUs.

Besides, what matters is the data on the storage. Is it encrypted with keys stored on the CPU? If it's not, how does this help?
I wonder how many of these articles are because landlords of commercial property et al are beginning to feel the repecusions of people working from home. At least in the UK (this is a BBC article), most commercial properties are owned by big landlords, with ties to the "elite" class.

Business to business transactions have different rules than when an end consumer is involved, usually, because of the asymmetry. Businesses typically have orders of magnitude more cash than the average consumer, so forcing them to lose a few thousand dollars to get their act together is nothing, whereas it could be a disaster for a private person.

It's not tax benefits that makes parents better off. Tax benefits are in addition to the general benefits children provide. Children are your caretakers in old age. People who have children tend to live longer.

I worked in insurance for 5 years.

If what you do can be sold to doctor's offices instead of hospitals, that's where I would start cold calling people.

Every doctor's office is a small business. They aren't that good at the business end of things and their HIPAA training tends to be poor compared to what hospitals do.

If you can figure out how to educate doctors on why this matters and what the rules are and how you can solve their problems, I think that's your best shot at developing a solid customer base.

Larger healthcare organizations, like hospitals and insurance companies, do their own in-house training and custom solutions. It's doctors offices that can't afford their own IT department but still need to comply with things like HIPAA that are in a world of hurt and could benefit from someone coming in and serving as their part-time IT department and staff expert.

Being single, you have time for all that in a normal week anyway. And if you don't you wouldn't have had the time for social interaction in the first place.
Your failure to see past your preconceived notions in this is a bit baffling.

> That is, for anarchism to work, you need people to simply "all get along".

For current society to work, we all also have to get along, right? I walk down the street nobody robs or kills me, my boss pays me at the end of the month, the power company supplies me with a service as long as I pay for it... aren't we all "getting along"? Of course, there are fringe players, but they are fringe. Anarchism doesn't magically assume everyone everywhere is a well-intentioned player for it to work, no more than capitalism.

> You live in a community with 100 people, under anarchism. Those 10 stand up. They state that they run the place. They have guns. Now what?

How would this be different under capitalism, if 10% of a community rose up with guns? Answer is the same as with anarchism: people would fight back. I don't understand how this is hard to comprehend. It's called Anarchism, not Pacifism. Do you really think anarchists just roll with the punches with everything bad thrown at them? How can you even think that's possible to propose as a system?

Anarchists don't believe, however, in a lap-dog class of the system as the Police exist today. Individuals can be chosen to serve or volunteer as community defense agents, since as I've mentioned _illegitimate_ authority is what Anarchism rails against.

> yet that involves government, in that, you need to pay and organize and on and on and on.

Anarchism is not 100% opposed to systems of governance - it only mandates they are fairer than the current ones. Community councils, if agreed upon by said community, are valid. Just not imposed on them.

> The "old ways" you speak of, are pretty much accepted by people 10 to 100

So was Feudalism - your point?

> If you think that "most people under (what?) 30? 40? 25? believe in anarchism, you are sadly mistaken.

Have I said that? I said as conservatives give away to newer generations, those will be more amenable to different systems of government (precisely because the current one isn't working for them).

> I've listed them, others have, but all you care to espouse is that "I don't like the current governmental system" and "we'll just handle it without organized government".

I don't think you can vote the Anarchists in and from Sunday to Monday we go from late-state capitalism to anarchism. It's a process, all deep change is - we're seeing the end of a neoliberalization process that started in the 70s.

But to think we're living in the best system we can because "it's accepted by people" is really poor, and a capitulation to a system that is visibly cracking. But don't mind me, keep hoping for incremental improvement and see where that gets us...
I'm not claiming whether or not this is right, or serves the interests of Justice. I'm just pointing out that it appears to me that the defense team is arguing more in the court of public opinion, and less on points of law in the court itself. And to be clear: I don't really think they have much of an option - the law around extradition makes this hearing mostly a formality. There are pretty limited grounds in law to prevent it going ahead.

Independent of this particular case, I don't like the fact that in UK law the process is mostly a formality for UK to USA extraditions. When the legislation was drafted after 9/11 the claim was that this was a necessary evil and would be used solely against terrorists. Like previous non-terrorist cases against bankers, 'hackers' and others, this isn't a use of the law in the way it was originally intended (well, at least what was said about intentions at the time).
My understanding was that you can put this in any other motherboard with the same signing key. Presuming the intent her is that every single machine would have to have a different signing key. If this was the case, then yes, security seems to be the reason.

However, and I may have misunderstood this so please do correct me if I have, based on the article, it seems for certain vendors, they share the same signing key with multiple machines (presuming whole lines), in which case this certainly seems to be about vendor lock-in from the vendor side.

I don't think that's entirely relevant when most existing childcare in the US has just been completely unavailable due to COVID-19. It's not lack of funds or state support; childcare had been shut down along with everything else.

But I agree that it's messed up that this is causing parents and non-parents to turn against each other; non-parents should be siding with parents to get their companies to provide better conditions.

(I don't think I'll go as far to suggest this outcome is intentional by employers, though, despite the fact that turning your employees against each other is a classic employer-vs-labor tactic to keep benefits and wages low.)
>It's important to consider _who_ we are talking about here.

But then their noble sacrifice isn't as important for society anymore, is it? If we simply need more children, then it's not relevant whether they're born to the family of the tech worker or someone worse off.
Yes, for a different reason.

Noope, that isn’t what antibody testing shows. Take England for example. Coronavirus working its way through a mere, say, 6% of the population is devastating.

Nonsense. We need to protect the other 94%.
I'm generally an "ends justifies the means" kinda guy, but I think anyone with that position needs to be aware of what the "means" actually are.

Maybe that's why I'm a bit shocked that you're shocked. These things have been going on for a long time and they're well documented. I'll just give three examples: the My Lai massacre, the imprisonment/trial of Omar Khadr (a child soldier) and the extrajudicial execution of Anwar Nasser al-Awlaki (an American citizen).

(To be clear, I don't think any of the above are justifiable. As a Canadian, I was particularly ashamed of Canada's position towards Khadr. But I don't go around a) thinking these things don't happen and b) that they're alway black and white)

> the linux kernel, along with a lot more stuff, declared it was sticking with the GPLv2 and not moving to the GPLv3. when your movement says “here is the new version of The Right Way To Do Things” and several of your largest adherents say “nah fuck you we’re going with the old version” that is not a good sign.

Some public comments Linus has made about the choice to stick with GPLv2 over GPLv3: https://youtu.be/PaKIZ7gJlRU.

> and also most of the people using Linux right now are using it by accident, distributed as ChromeOS or Android

Also, those kernels are now built with LLVM. https://clangbuiltlinux.github.io/ (not all devices in existence, but all new ones for the past few releases of both distros and many old chromebooks that received recent kernel upgrades).
Well. I’d like to have had kids, and am jealous of those that have. While the pandemic is a curveball, people With kids are investing in their future and continuing their families. I think the frustration comes from the perspective that your personal life is enriched with kids, while some of the pressing daily grind is put off your shoulders. It isn’t humane to say, but it also isn’t meritorious.
That being said, they chose to have children, and I chose not to

Do you have a retirement plan and do you want a return on it? Guess who'll generate that return: other people's children.

childless employees should also get time for their personal obligations

That's a tricky one. Is your paragliding trip an investment that will generate future value for society?

> The single guys at work are actually the most eager to go back in.

Yup, that's been my experience as well. I have no kids, but live with my girlfriend. We're certainly experiencing some cabin fever, but things are mostly ok. My parent friends have been going crazy with stress, and my friends who are sheltering by themselves miss human contact, and many of them really want to be back in the social atmosphere of an office.
Depends on if you can talk your contacts into using it. What I'm more worried about (as a Telegram user) is the lack of metadata protection (contacts stored on the server for example).
But it's only for logo right? I don't think they should be used in text form, doubt even Apple themselves would do that.
Count me out as an extrovert who has no desire to go back to an office any time soon. I get my social interaction outside of work hours, and missing out on that has been killing me for the past 6 months.

So much debate about cost/benefits of children and to whom.

Which employees subsidise others....

It's the _employer_ doing it. Allowing it. If there's good benefits (who doesn't want to work less/more flexibly). There's no reason not to give it to everybody. Act of god is kind of just an accelerator here.

So long as there's shareholder value to be extracted, saying it's impossible is a lie.

Stop squabbling and stand together to demand better working conditions for all.
If this was about actual security, not destroying the secondary market, the obvious solution for this would be providing a way to "factory reset" the CPU using a pin that is normally physically disconnected.

An attacker that breaks into your datacenter to physically reset the CPU could also swap it, so once you have physical access, the security argument doesn't hold. OEMs/recyclers could simply plug each CPU into a testing/resetting jig that has this connected, or mainboards could have a jumper for it.

Disgusting.

Edit: I wonder if this will enable a new category of ransomware. "Pay us (half the current value of your CPUs) to get your firmware signed with the key that we just locked all the CPUs in your fleet to".
So users do use playstore in the presence of the other store. Doesn't that contradict the argument that they are poor non-tech walled-gardened who cannot choose? This entire farce is about developers who want to control platforms they do not own, on devices they do not own, with users who do not even want to deal with them under rules other than playstore ones.
I have thought about it a little more, and I think it's the right solution as well.

From the first proposal the compiler can directly prepare the stack for the call.

As in this example:

Using a Raspberry Pi to Add MIDI to a CV Synthesizer
That's nonsense, security isn't only about E2E. Telegram is encrypted between clients and their servers, and are stored encrypted in their cloud services (at least if we trust what they say), a defaults that trade some level of privacy/security in exchange of a better UX, but you can decide to do the opposite trade by creating E2E discussions. How does that make their system not secure?
