That math doesn’t work out. IBM was formed in 1911. 45 years old would be 1956.

Also doing business in Europe in the 1930s doesn’t mean that’s when they expanded. That business could have been decades old by then.

Some quick reading of the history of IBM and subsidiaries suggests they were doing business in Europe by the 1920s.

Unless Trump somehow has a massive blowout electoral win based on Nov 3rd voting, it won't matter how much he crows about "winning" the election. Well over half the country doesn't trust the guy, and the international community basically doesn't trust him at all. Republican leadership are, at best, ambivalent.

Anyway, look at Belarus: a free and fair election was won by an ~%80 margin by a Trump-like figure. Big deal, he still is in the process of getting removed from office.

Macron just last week welcomed the 20% Belarus loser as the "President-elect" to France, and refuses to recognize the Trump-like winner. That's Color Revolution 101: the election really doesn't matter, what matters is its legitimacy. Protests, the media, and any kind of election problems all help to delegitimatize an election, and allow Trump-like figures to be removed in the name of "integrity" should they actually win. This playbook works.

As I've said elsewhere, I think Biden will win big electorally, including on Nov. 3rd, so all of this ground-preparation will ultimately not be needed. Better safe than sorry though…

Apple is already on it's way to the trashheap. There's a reason why innovation has essentially stopped and now comes down to "a few megapixels more in the camera", while quality control - both in their hardware as well as their software - has taken a big hit.

I guess they will succumb faster than the old Xerox-age market leaders, because they are not focussed on consulting (= making other companies believe their constantly syphoning money from them brings value).
Yes. They conform to their peer group by embracing politics and ideas from the SV bubble, which includes being disruptive for the reasons which their quasi-religion dictates.

yeah this is a better metric than my napkin math above.

it is also important to elaborate that we are talking about 4 months of payment with continued health insurance included, and calling that savings for an additional 12 months of paying for health insurance.

I don't buy it. Exchanges are centralized, and they will respond to court orders. Some networks can be centralized and are vulnerable to majority attacks.

I don't work in a Silicon Valley tech company, so maybe my perspective is out of touch with what's going on in SV.

But I thought it was generally understood that there were certain topics you really ought not to talk about at work including religion, politics, disclosing your salary, etc.

Has this changed? Or am I misunderstanding something?
I can get much more surface area of radiator than can reasonably be reached by the heat pipes on an air cooler. There are limits to how many radiators you can effectively leverage in a cooling loop.

Additionally, a loop with a large volume of liquid offers much more thermal buffer before reaching a steady state temperature.

Most air coolers will be heat saturated within a minute or so. A water cooling loop may maintain lower temperature for minutes to tens of minutes. So even with two solutions that otherwise reach the same steady state temperatures (and therefore throttle equally), you may see better real world performance out of the water cooling solution.

I'll note, I would be building an open loop, not using an AIO/closed loop cooler. My case has room for 7x140mm of radiator in a couple of configurations. I would probably use 5x of that in one 420mm radiator and a 280mm radiator. This should offer much more cooling capacity than any tower cooler.
This is absolutely true, and appears to be the stated policy in no uncertain terms.

The issue that I intended to address is the interesting usage of language to sidestep making political contributions and supporting candidates and parties as being political acts.

> proclaiming that only a certain stance on controversial issues is acceptable, and implying (or stating outright) that divergence from this orthodoxy amounts to an affront to human dignity.

Are you suggesting that all stances on all controversial issues are acceptable, and that it is impossible to hold a stance which is an affront to human dignity? Or are you merely saying that these issues are relatively unimportant compared to one's labor at their place of employment, and should thus be ignored?

If 95% of the company doesn't care then you should change orange juice vendors. Making it turn into an ongoing issue would be a very strong sign that people at the company care very strongly about keeping the current vendor. Which means that perhaps you should leave, but you should leave because people are actively opposing your politics and not because that 95% is not political.
I wanted to find an example for my response to this article, and I can't. I was looking for the sites like GitHub, Go Docs, Cloudflare, Hashicorp, and others what splashed a "#BlackLivesMatter" header on across all their sites. I remember a lot of places slapping banners or changing their headers black in support of the movement, and now I can't find any examples of that happening. They all seem to have been removed by this point.

So- what was accomplished? I don't remember which companies supported "the cause." All I know is that the companies that I thought I did no longer do- or at least don't show support any more. Which stands out to me more then their support.

Tells me that two things happened.

1. The companies wasted time figuring out how they should show their support, implementing those features, and all the associated work with making major changes to frontends. Spend hours figuring it out, most likely had meetings to discuses how to do it and what they should say.

2. The stopped showing supporting it after a point in time, which tells me they don't actually care. They just want to show they do.

I'm guessing they showed support for two reasons. First is some sort of genuine support for the cause, but the 2nd is a fear of internal backlash for not showing support.

Good on Coinbase for removing the elements inside their company that would get pissed if their company didn't take an active stand on flavor of the month political issues. When I go to work, I'm there to do my job and get paid. I don't want to have to deal with people fighting over what political stand the company should take a position on this month. I don't care that my programming language's maintainers voiced support or not. I don't care that program X or Y slapped a banner on their products for the month.

The fact that there was visible support for for Black Lives Matter that was removed a month later is a lot more telling then their support. You want to be apart of the movement without actually doing anything to fix the issues.

If you want to be political as a company, quietly donate money to the causes you support. Provide resources such as technical help or free/discounted services to the causes you support. That's infinitely more productive and helpful then letting your employees fight over what token gesture they want the company to show.
Ironically, now that the Coinbase CEO has politicized quitting, I wonder how many people wanted to take another job but now are afraid to because they'd be labeled 'activists' by reactionary hiring managers.
I lump this into the category of learning how to best apply your tools to the right situations.

If I'm slinging together an internal CRUD app, the extra time thinking about types probably will slow me down because the major risks aren't really type problems.

But if for example I'm working on something in a game engine, being able to use the language and compiler to enforce assumptions/invariants at compile time is really useful.
It's unfortunate that people who run companies... run companies? Do you understand how deluded you sound when you're indignantly concerntrolling over a crypto startup not abiding by the hyperintense political environ that you personally prefer? This is installing a culture. It's installing a culture that doesn't leech into either

a. Areas they can't focus on primarily, or
b. Areas that would directly make 10, 15, 25% of their human capital feel attacked/engaged in a hostile environment.
Another benefit with cryptocurrencies is that nobody's allowed to control the supply, so you escape the inflation heavy fiat money we use today.
I disagree. I believe criticisms of the Catholic church and it's educational system are absolutely warranted. The Catholic Church is responsible for hundreds of years of criminal, systemic violence and abuse all over the glove. The church is currently shielding over $2 Billion dollars to limit abuse payout. They aren't denying the abuse. They are just trying not to be held accountable for it.

That includes the abusers, the people who cover for those abusers, and the church goers themselves who refuse to do anything about the systemic sexual, physical and mental abuse. Those gentle, loving and supportive people you speak of are enablers of a dysfunctional system. If they cared at all about the people in those systems, they'd do something to discover and prevent abuse. They don't.

The kind of mistreatment described in the video is par for the course in most American Catholic schools. I attended public school from kindergarten up to 4th. I transferred to a Catholic school in the 5th grade and felt like I'd been assigned to a mental institution. The verbal abuse was constant. The physical abuse was random, sudden and could come from anyone at any time. I, along with class mates, was regularly offered wine by the priests. I didn't learn of cases of actually sexual abuse until I was older and my class mates could talk about what happened.

We didn't know any better and our parents couldn't believe what was reported. When some event did reach a level that required community intervention, it was dealt with quietly and forgotten immediately.

When you factor in that they exist to teach decidedly unscientific, authoritarian thinking, the Catholic Church is a dangerous, abusive organization that has no interest in changing.

Rather than be offended, why don't you spend your time reforming the church so it becomes a better institution?

This isn't a case of a few bad apples. The entire system is made of bad apples. This is a bad apple tree that makes more bad apples.
No. QUIC is a transport protocol. Its purpose is roughly equivalent to TCP: provide a reliable byte stream transport over an unreliable datagram service (IP, though QUIC prepends a small UDP header mostly for compatibility with existing infrastructure).

You might be thinking of the HTTP server push functionality. That was introduced with HTTP/2 and has been deployed for years already over TCP transports (i.e. totally unrelated to QUIC).

Due to how advertising networks work, I'd be surprised if anyone used server push in the way you fear.
I've never watched the show, but I have read that that is not the case; sometimes he gave the option to switch, and sometimes not. Even if that were the case, it is not stated in the problem and therefore you cannot assume he behaves like he might in the real world. Also even if he had allowed the switch every previous time, it still does not logically mean that he does that the one time you are playing.

And once more, I'm talking about the problem as given, not some other problem. It is a self contained math / logic problem.
> Having no stance on a topic is taking a stance on a topic.

Semantically perhaps, but not in practice. On most issues there are those who support, those who oppose, and a lot of neutrals who do not want to be involved and do not want to be caught in the middle of the fighting.

How does one ensure "stability" without getting involved in politics?
I made another longer comment about it on this thread.

The gist of it is that a competent HR department can make a statement without directly committing support to any particular organization or group that they aren’t comfortable with.

Saying “I refuse to comment and you’re not allowed to comment” is the worst way to go about it, literally anything would be better.

There are also ways to train on empathy, bias, and general employee-to-employee communication that can guide employees through those conversations with colleagues.

If there is a legitimate threat of someone making nuclear weapons / WMDs, then there is 100% legitimacy for this kind of request - as for the constitutionality, under EU/US/Canada Constitution, it would pass, hands down, without question.

The reason I use the 'nuclear weapon / WMD' argument is because it's fairly extreme, and it's to get people to snap out of the default anti-government/dystopian mindsets to remind us what the law is effectively there for.

While such situations are rare, they do exist, and they demonstrate the length at which we have to go to keep civic order - and very legitimately so.

So it would be 'authoritarian' to conduct such searches when looking for someone not paying their taxes, and definitely unlawful for politicians using this on their opponents.

But it would be 'practical and lawful' in this scenario.

But it's all moot - in reality, if there were a 'real threat' - the National Guard, Police, FBI etc. would be doing full searches of everyone's home, block by block, helicopters, dogs, SWAT Teams, Firemen, the whole thing. There wouldn't even be popular outrage, the ACLU wouldn't be putting up a fuss, everyone would be at home, in fear, watching CNN, until the 'found the guy'.

It's basically false to suggest that warrants or information can't be used legally in pursuit of a crime - it's a knee-jerk reaction I feel by the anarcho/privacy ethos common here on HN.

It entirely depends on the situation - risk, proportionately, oversight, tactics of execution etc..

And it's never perfectly clear, that's why civilization is hard.
I think one point that gets lost is that over the past 50 or so years, the left leaning, counter culture would lean on and shout "Freedom of SPEECH" when they were trying to make statements that were not mainstream/accepted by society. It just feels duplicitous/revengeful for them to now do the same after winning the culture wars and say "oh that's the way it is, censorship is the norm".
This is pretty cool!

How does the legibility work? It seems to decrease variation the higher it is.
In theory, you are right. In practise, govs are basically big robbery machines which are more interested in their own property and influence than me as a citizen (and as a human being in general).

For example it can be VERY tricky in most countries to move all your wealth crossborderly without any intervention or tax (even you if have paid all taxes from your profits) from the gov. That's because even the most capitalistic countries don't truly respect private property concept and consider individual's property as their own.

Crypto partially solves this. You can move equivalent of billions of USD through the border in a minute for negligible cost. However, it won't worth much if you still will be imprisoned for that. So, basically, potential anonymity and privacy researches in crypto as well as non-regulation are good things.

Because even democratic countries show themselves as pretty barbarian ones, when there is something against their interests (Julian Assange is a good fresh example).

To me this take rolls into the general "silence is violence" or "either you're with us or against us" refrain that has become background noise to me. It reads the same as someone telling me I'm enabling fascism by not posting a black square on instagram or whatever.

I'm nearing the point of being aggressively dismissive towards this kind of attitude, because a lot of it doesn't even seem to be laid out in good faith. People are just addicted to being mad, addicted to being right, addicted to the idea that they can channel their anger through pop politics and get validation for it as a bonus.

I have an extremely low opinion of the people and groups who follow along with whatever pop social issue is trending today because they don't want to get in trouble, and IMHO those people aren't really worth interacting with because again, it's more about landing a spicy dunk on the bad guys (tm) and collecting heart icons than whatever issue they're using as a weapon today.

Large companies allocate some percentage of their budget to "modernization" or "IT improvements" IBM tries to grab as much of that budget as possible and then to spend a little money as possible internally delivering results. So they end up selling "Watson AI" or implement a "24/7 Cyber Security Operation Center". They don't give a shit how useful or long term successful those products or services are. They only care about how big the contract is and how high their margins are on the contracts.
“The kind who leave were focused on something other than advancing the company's goals.”

I’m not sure that’s what happened here. This was started because employees were upset that the company wasn’t taking a stance to support the Black Lives Matter movement. If my employer decided to be apolitical around something as basic as saying racism is a thing and Black people shouldn’t be killed by the police I’d certainly leave too.

Aviation isn't about unions though, it's a safety feature. There were a bunch of different roles at the company I worked for:

- High-level requirements author

- Low-level requirements author

- Coder

- Test author

- Test runner

and then each of those had a reviewer, for high-level requirements, low-level requirements, code review, test case review, test process and results review.

The FAA technically only requires that the author and reviewer for each step in the process are different, but the company tried to avoid having the same person write the requirements, code, and tests as well.
For an action to be "political" in a strong sense, its performer it needs to be consciously thinking about their political alignment.
