"rewritten their brains"... conceiving, carrying, birthing, raising a child is not like picking a favorite beverage or ice cream flavour, and changing the choice as you evolve. It's not something you set your mind about, and change it a couple weeks later as a result of a mood swing, or because of an influential article or a comment on the web.

"reproduction ... good and necessary"... people don't get kids because it's "good", and certainly not because it's "necessary"... They're a little more to it.

and no, you either read all of the 759 comments, or you didn't. Also, skim through ≠ read.
At faang size companies?
They are not being "rewarded." They need leniency to deal with the raw hand they've been dealt. Its called empathy. Companies are choosing to help their employees out in a rough spot and that's the correct thing to do. My mother was sick a few years ago and I "worked" remotely for 1-2 months to take care of her. The company could have easily said "nah." I am eternally grateful that the company did that and I stayed for 2 years longer than I would have and worked very hard. By treating your employees well not only are you acting like a normal person, but you get the side benefit of building goodwill with your employees.
> Why can your browser run sudo? ...Suppose only your SSH client had the operation required to use your SSH keys.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but why could a malicious application (say, Chrome in the context of a browser running sudo) not also include the capability to access the file system with impunity?

It seems that Hydra simply turns the technical problem of managing filesystem protections into a political one, of auditing the applications we use; which may have been practical in the 80’s, but is now demonstrably a failed method of protecting user data.
Ah Halo CE. It was on every PC at our school by the time I graduated... You just had to find where it was.
> Its not really vendor locking by design. It locks to a signing key.

I see, so it's basically AMD's implementation of Intel Boot Guard, but on servers instead of laptops. On boot, the CPU verifies the BIOS's signature from its OTP memory and refuses to boot if verification fails.

Theoretically, if you move CPUs between different laptops, you'll find the CPUs are locked to its platform as well, but we don't feel it since they are not replaceable, the only visible effect is that the firmware has been locked and you cannot run coreboot.

And now the same thing is coming to servers and it has a bigger visible effect...

My favorite editor of all time was “Leading Edge Word Processor” which was a lightening fast piece of word processing software for DOS w/ all the trimmings that comfortably fit in a floppy disk with ample room for documents. The company that made it “Leading Edge” was primarily a PC clone vendor and all their software disappeared overnight when they were acquired by another clone maker and their entire brand winked out.

For writing batch scripts and reading large text files I would use a utility called sled “slick little editor”. That was some hand coded assembly language program that was only a couple kilobytes but could do most of what vi does and work with anything that fit into memory. It seems to have completely disappeared from history.

Wordstar was big in school - first half of class was always everyone passing around the DOS and Wordstar disks to boot their computers. Great way to start your day or wind down, really sucked at lunch because you were hungry and nothing to do but watching the second hand spin while everyone was booting up.
There are several “times” in a 911 call FYI, it’s not always clear what ones are being used for response time, which is better reported as a median as well.

1. Call time - at 9am Joe calls 911 and reports their cat has fell out of a tree.

2. Dispatch Queue Time - ideally, at 905am or quickly after the call to 911 time, Dispatcher puts this call into the stack for the police officer that works on Joes beat (let’s say normally that is Officer111). This is accompanied by a call out over the radio to Officer111 to see what he’s doing.

3. Officer acknowledge time - usually along with the radio call-out from dispatch, 905am, the event record for Joe and his cat appear on the screen for all the officers in the district. Let’s say Officer111 is at a car crash, and cannot respond. The event record is still on all Officer screens, and Dispatch asks one of the district officers to go help Joe and his fallen cat. Nearby Officer112 “accepts” the call (via radio and on their laptop). It is 906am when Officer112 accepts the task. He is are now enroute (at 906am)

4. Arrival time - it takes Officer112 14 minutes to get to the scene because it is not his beat and he was in traffic. He pulls up at 920am.

5. Clear time - at 930am, the cat is taken off in an ambulance, and Officer112 tells dispatch over the radio to clear him off the fallen cat call.

Dispatch delay - diff between call recieved and being put into the queue

Response time - time from Officer acknowledgement in the queue to arrival time. In some cases it will be recorded with a timestamp when Officer says enroute.

Cleared time - arrival to clear.

My point is the response time is often tricker than it seems. May be straightforward in this case, but mainly wanted to point it out for other readers.
Luckily, commercial litigation isn't held in the court of public opinion.
That's laughable. It's been shown over and over that iOS customers spend a lot more money than Android customers.
In 20 years I think we can firmly cross #1 off the list. All the others are still open.
Oh, it's you again? I suppose Penguin can't be trusted when they say one of the reasons they withdrew the book was the safety of their employees? Great job manipulating language to make it seem like Hindus are being oppressed though. As people say on the internet, "muh hindu khatre mein hain!!!?!". I wish you death before you cause the death of my country.
You don't seem happy with it, I'll desist I suppose.
Among most groups in America, the fertility rate is well below replacement -- same ballpark as Japan, IIRC. The only reason our population grows is immigration: immigrants themselves, and they have more kids than native-born Americans.

So the biological urge apparently isn't doing the trick.
I only play games that require minimum investment. Ones I can play 10 mins at a time with resolution. Stuff like Fifa or racing games for example. The only game I invested serous time in completing in the last 5 years was GTA on iOS. They just suck up too much time that is better spent on other stuff like spending time with family or exercising. I'm really surprised at how many dedicated adult gamers there seem to be these days, especially employed ones, as I don't know where they find the time.
Surprisingly, new.reddit.com on my 4 year old phone took about the same amount of time as my few month old computer to load. They are both unusable.
I know exactly what you mean, sometimes I could get a hold of a guidebook for a game that I didn't even have the system for; I just enjoyed reading about the world and the systems at play inside of it. Hell, I've never even played NetHack, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Guidebook. It's this weird combination of technical documentation and fantasy world-building that I for some reason find fascinating.
First example that came to my mind. There isn't a point in the last 30 years that that movie could have been made.

I agree that the Civ point is a little silly. But try to play the original X-Com now. I have fond memories of poring over strategy guides for that thing and starting to see a measure of success. But it's really tough to play after visiting the modern counterparts. And not because of the graphics.
Sure, I'll bite. It should come from the paychecks of people like CEOs who have gone from making 30x the average worker to 900x in the past 70 years.

You can also sideload on iOS (without jailbreak), I do it all the time but for some reason no one is talking about that either.
Well, the market is free for someone to offer a processor that doesn't care about "security" (whether it is or isn't the excuse you deem it to be), and we could see if that offering is successful. Maybe there's a new role for something like that. Cursing the situation won't do any good.
I've lost my cool at them a couple times. Then you walk around feeling shitty for the next hour because they're usually poor and/or migrants and probably aren't doing it for fun.

There is another scam I've seen in Australia where companies send out invoices for domains that you own. Except it's an inflated bill from a different company than the domain is currently registered with. Very dodgy.

Perhaps you could do some research on the amount of time it will take to count mail in ballots and the relative difference between likelihood of mail-in voting for both parties.

Or maybe your superficial response is correct, and there is nothing exceptional about this election, and COVID-19 will no longer be a concern, tomorrow?
I'm unsure if you're having an empathy problem or need to find a new employer, to be honest.

When do parents get this self care? Between work, kids, sleep, what free moments are you imagining?

If you can't fit in a workout when you're now without a commute, then I'm confused. And, if you equate a workout with the relentless task of educating and entertaining a toddler, well, you must be _very_ serious about your gym time. Little kids are 7a to 9p, _maybe_ a nap on a good day of an hour, and oh, if you slack too long they just don't get to learn math.

Stop working late. Take care of yourself. Stop blaming people with other responsibilities if you're not doing that. Above all, develop empathy - this is hard for everyone, so stop playing the "those people are getting benefits I'm not" game.

For some, gaming time replaces the time that could be spent watching TV/etc.- it's another way to spend leisure time, and IMO, gaming is probably better for your mental health than watching 3 hours of the news /etc.
AstraZeneca and Oxford have subjects in the US, UK, Brazil, and South-Africa. The aim was to have diverse make-up of the testing groups, to have an order of magnitude more people in the Phase 3 trial than normal for a vaccine, to test in countries with high infection rates, and to deliver the results on 15th of September. A British subject from the British trial got ill.

I presume these countries have deals with Oxford/AstraZeneca so if a safe vaccine is available, they get guaranteed access. I've heard India is already producing the vaccine ahead of the Phase 3 conclusion. The phase 3 is only on hold since it is not clear if the vaccine was the cause. There are other causes for the adverse reaction, such as viral herpes infection, or onset nerve diseases not caught during subject checkup. Since not all vaccines offer 100% protection (while still being useful), COVID may have also been the cause of spinal nerve inflammation.
Why would it be scummy? Do you think the authors of the email app is trying to trick the local kennel club members into install their open source email client unwillingly?
I use uMatrix for that. I like the block/allow interface.

Off topic: if I use uMatrix should I still be using uBlock Origin as well? Or does uMatric encompass all the features of uBlock and then some?

"Then is it cool if I skip a few meetings to volunteer to help the homeless?"
Yes and my last job encouraged us to take days off for local volunteering work. What most of us do isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. If you can make somebody's day better or easier, why not. The software everybody is making isn't really going to come out that much faster because you took some time out of a single day your week to do anything else but work.
The rally was a bad idea but this is junk science. The public health cost estimate is based on the assumption that asymptomatic cases somehow cost $11,000 each. That is obviously nonsense.
> We are at almost 8 billion and growing very rapidly

The "growing very rapidly" part is not true (1). The main reason the world population is still growing is that people live longer. Only relatively few countries still have out of control natality, mainly in Africa. The world's fertility rate is now at 2.4 (2) children per woman.

(Of course, these are just projections and imply some speculation. Things could still turn around.)

Why would that happen because the fed owns a lot of mortgage debt? I don’t see the connection.
I don’t know if what you’re saying holds generally. I don’t know if people buy it for the AppStore, but I strongly suspect that most people don’t buy it despite the App Store.
It's not strange, what is strange is your implied political swing instead of discussing the specific event in the article.
That's because they make so little money that paying taxes would impact their ability to feed themselves.

This! Got a used AMD-K5 PR133 in a big-tower a long time ago, integrated it into my home lab, and used it to experiment.

About 1 one year later it underwent my cleaning routine, vacuuming dust out, cleaning the fans, etc. I took the cpu-cooler off to check for bad thermal grease and discovered it had none at all! No pad either, someone just clipped that thing on, and instead of direct contact it had a small airgap which you could look through from the sides.

Unbelievable.

When I got it, it must have been in use for years already!

This is less about Fortnite and more about a mobile Epic Games Store. That being said, caving to Google and putting Fortnite back on the Play Store dramatically undermines their case, because it shows that how important the Play/App Stores are for distribution & eyeballs. Apple and Google can both claim they invested heavily in that ecosystem for the benefit of publishers and users alike.

I'm the first to criticize Apple for its attitude towards users and developers, but I'm struggling to see how it falls afoul of the law. It's their walled garden - don't like it? Don't play in it.
> It behooves the accusers to provide solid evidence, not the audience.

Is that supposed to be response to this?

>> But if that's not good enough, please organize an independent investigation team to go to Xinjiang and find out, and tell me how that goes.

If it was, then I'll spell out what was meant by my sarcasm: the Chinese government won't allow anyone to conduct a systematic independent investigation, and are quite capable of fatally interfering with such a project. If you set your standard so high as to either require such an investigation or a confession, you've conveniently put yourself in a position to unreasonably deny almost crime or violation anyone's made an attempt to hide.

> I don't see anything in your links that shows much evidence of slave labor or millions in concentration camps.

Estimates vary on the exact total population of the camps, but the lowest credible ones I've seen have been in several hundreds of thousands.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/16/world/asia/xinjiang-china...:

> Accounts from the region, satellite images and previously unreported official documents indicate that growing numbers of detainees are being sent to new factories, built inside or near the camps, where inmates have little choice but to accept jobs and follow orders....

> Independent accounts from inmates who have worked in the factories are rare. The police block attempts to get near the camps and closely monitor foreign journalists who travel to Xinjiang, making it all but impossible to conduct interviews in the region. And most Uighurs who have fled Xinjiang did so before the factory program grew in recent months.

> But Serikzhan Bilash, a founder of Atajurt Kazakh Human Rights, an organization in Kazakhstan that helps ethnic Kazakhs who have left neighboring Xinjiang, said he had interviewed relatives of 10 inmates who had told their families that they were made to work in factories after undergoing indoctrination in the camps....

> “It’s not as though they have a choice of whether they get to work in a factory, or what factory they are assigned to,” said Darren Byler, a lecturer at the University of Washington who studies Xinjiang and visited the region in April.

> He said it was safe to conclude that hundreds of thousands of detainees could be compelled to work in factories if the program were put in place at all of the region’s internment camps....

> The documents detail plans for inmates, even those formally released from the camps, to take jobs at factories that work closely with the camps to continue to monitor and control them. The socks, suits, skirts and other goods made by these laborers would be sold in Chinese stores and could trickle into overseas markets.

> Kashgar [a city with a population of over 500,000], an ancient, predominantly Uighur area of southern Xinjiang that is a focus of the program, reported that in 2018 alone it aimed to send 100,000 inmates who had been through the “vocational training centers” to work in factories, according to a plan issued in August.
No, the 30% vig developers pay (both Apple and Google) is for access to the customers. It's what you're being sold for.
> That dollar amount is based on another estimation that an average of $46,000 is spent on each patient who tests positive for COVID-19.

Anyone have an idea on where that dollar amount came from? If many infections are asymptomatic then surely that number could only be associated with people who exhibit complications.

Something doesn't seem to add up.
> enough statistical power

Meaning the adverse effects are small enough to require large numbers to discern. Balance this against the predictable number of covid deaths from waiting for those large numbers.

Indeed. And strange how putting c19-positive elderlies back from hospital into nursery homes (presumably contaminating many others as reported from NY) hasn’t been called a superspreading effect yet.
It doesn't seem strange at all. None of the protests have had anything close to the sheer size of the rally, nor have they been attracting participants from such a broad area. Most of the protests have been very localized in size and scope, so while they may help spread the coronavirus within a community, they have much less potential for spreading coronavirus between communities.
"Researchers concluded that more than 266,000 cases were tied to the event attended by more than 460,000 individuals.

[...]

At least 260 cases in 11 states have been officially connected to the rally by government officials.

[...]

Most people who attended the event did not take coronavirus precautions like wearing masks and social distancing, The Associated Press reported at the time."

Seems like you should have included the next section for a broader context:

“ While Democrats lose support as income increases, there seems to be a tipping point where the ultra-wealthy begin leaning Democratic. The most famous example would be the entertainment industry, where star-studded events have become a significant part of Democratic culture.

But this phenomenon is not limited to Hollywood. A review of the 20 richest Americans, as listed by Forbes Magazine, found that 60 percent affiliate with the Democratic Party, including the top three individuals: Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Larry Ellison. Among the riches families, the Democratic advantage rises even higher, to 75 percent.”
You're not really making a point here. If you think they are wrong, then tell us why you think this. Shooting down the comment and providing no real input is unproductive.
You should research the meanings of equality and equity. Equity is not a penalization for those with better circumstances, it is simply support for those that lack it.
> It's simply depressing how parent/kid-hostile society has become.

This is such bullshit, akin to the "Christians" who feel like they are being persecuted, even though the majority of people in the US are christian.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN. Only 30% of women at age 30 are childless currently, and that number drops to 20% by 40. By what measure are people who have children a persecuted minority? [1]

I would ABSOLUTELY agree that society is not currently supportive of people in general, however this persecution complex about having kids is unfounded. The vast majority of people are on your side, and in fact the majority of people have kids.

I think it would generally inflate housing prices. The Fed is a large buyer that can 'print' its own money to purchase these assets, so there isn't much incentive for it to examine the debt that its buying. It buys these mortgage bonds from banks that may also be incentivized not to scrutinize the people they're loaning money to (beyond whatever is required by law in underwriting a mortgage), because they know the Fed will purchase their debt without much question.

Of course, there might be other reasons and counterarguments, this is just my interpretation.
