Reuters doesn't 'accept' the allegations, it's merely reporting on them: "UK parliament committee says Huawei colludes with the Chinese state" is not the same as "Huawei colludes with the Chinese state".

The report from the Select Committee is available online [1] and although it does cite _some_ very loose indications of collusion, I agree that more substantive evidence could be presented. From the report:

> A further geopolitical consideration our inquiry highlighted was Huawei’s relationship with the Chinese state. It is clearly strongly linked to the Chinese state and the Chinese Communist Party, despite its statements to the contrary, as evidenced by its ownership model and the subsidies it has received. Additionally, Huawei’s apparent willingness to support China’s intelligence agencies and China’s 2017 National Intelligence Law are further cause for concern. Having a company so closely tied to a state and political organisation sometimes at odds with UK interests should be a point of concern and the decision to remove Huawei from our networks is further supported by these links. Concern about Huawei is based on clear evidence of collusion between the company and the Chinese Communist Party apparatus, and it is important that the West does not succumb to ill-informed anti-China hysteria and recognises the mutual benefits of Chinese involvement in our economy. We recommend that the UK, and allies, should ensure that decisions taken around the involvement of Chinese companies are taken in an evidence-based manner, and only when risk is demonstrable should decisions around removal be made.

The parent post says: "Excel interprets a number and then formats it as a number, but in healthcare, 10 digit numbers are really strings." - so I was under impression that the length for that particular column is fixed - probably just misunderstood the sentence.

I wonder how human operators figure out if the value is correct, or the Excel messed it up, or the input was invalid in the first place? If it's even possible to do it reliably then probably there is some set of patterns and methods that possibly could be turned into an algorithm... just thinking out loud here, but seems as an interesting problem to tackle...
I feel it's the contrary. We are generally happy to refund customers that are not happy with our service, but the app store is the only payment system where we cannot refund them (I don't really know what the UX looks like on the customer side, but I think they have to contact Apple to ask for the refund and it's not always as easy as it should to get the refund)

Note that things might have changed since I worked on this stuff.

I didn't say that there was a contradiction. The paper is about QUEL vs. SQL. Given that Postgres/PostgreSQL is introduced, I would think that the initial use of QUEL (PostQUEL), and how and when and why it transitioned to SQL would be highly relevant. But the end of the paper is needlessly fuzzy on this topic.

Raspberry Pi 3 also has OpenMX Hardware Encoder/Decoder. It should be able to do H264 720p at reasonable speed. If you're using ffmpeg just make sure to use h264_omx instead of libx264 (needs to be on Raspbian, though, since it requires libomx_core.so blob and enabled via a flag).

For eBay and Amazon, I consider that consent to be a malicious term, especially for these websites which are near monopolies. Even though I hit "agree" to their attempt to collect data, I still will instruct my devices to not actually give certain data to them, and instruct my devices to not display ads that are targeted based on cross-business shared data.

And of course there are the million other sites you don't need to agree to any ToS to use.
The terms of service for a web page the user just visited? They haven't even seen anything to suggest that the ToS exists at that point -- they haven't consented to anything.

I thought this as well. FB and Twitter are themselves the misinformation networks.
Software developers simply do not get offered pay anything close to SV wages pretty much anywhere else in the US (maybe NYC? not sure on that one) - as far as I can tell. It's not really in dispute that SV software wages are significantly higher than elsewhere in the country, is it?

Now, we all know there's many reasons for that, including competition and housing costs. My point is that salaries are so much lower almost anywhere else that FAANG could offer half of what they do in SV and get the best of the best in an area because it would still be a huge premium over local rates. The question becomes: if Facebook could hypothetically switch all its employees to other parts of the US and pay them top dollar relative to the area, would they still be earning $600K profit per employee while spending considerably less on salaries? Prior to C19, FB needed to pay those rates to be able to attract the best to the high COL area in SV because they felt a strong need to have their employees co-located. If FB has proven to themselves that they can have their employees WFH permanently without any significant productivity loss, then naturally they will no longer care about having to attract people to the Bay (and by extension they wouldn't need to offer those kinds of salaries anymore).

But maybe I'm all wrong on this. Who knows.
I imagine you're right on both counts. Contrast is certainly an issue. You definitely have to make adjustments to photograph dark skin (or animals with black fur).
As evil as the empire seems in the first triology, I like how the expanded universe, and the films that came afterwards went on to show that from their point of view they weren't all that bad. Even if they were headed by the fictional embodiment of cackling evil, the rank and file just wanted order, and freedom from the fear of being captured as slaves for the Outer Rim or murdered by interplanetary cartels, which the previous Republic had ignored for political reasons.
Very poor choice of words for a title. I was under the impression that using a "rich comment" it will block (the code execution) - a bug. Only upon reading the article I realized the true meaning.
But because this forum has guidelines for those aspects of speech, and its members abide by it, it opens up space for disagreements to take place and truth to surface.

Twitter has guidelines rules for things you can and can't say but since the users don't all agree to the same guidelines, and Twitter enforces them very inconsistently, there's no pressure to follow them except to the point you may get suspended or banned from the site.
Busses are definitely a specific skill requiring specific certification. I don't know if dedicated bag loaders exist these days but everyone has other job requirements. While yes, the market for low skill jobs is large, I think you're still diminishing these roles.

For example, Tibetan people have developed a genetic adaptation to high altitude. This can only have happened because of the relative isolation of that specific population. Now that we are constantly mixing and have technology to fix everything such adaptations are much more unlikely to arise or even to be kept.

All in all, the global human population will become more homogeneous and less diverse.
That would be backwards. GPT-3 was trained on content and comments from the internet so it quite literally writes like him. Considering the length of his comment it is probably fairly biased towards his style of writing.

> It's weird watching many of my friends and people I respect cheering while it happens

They understand that "free speech" is one of many principles we value, that these principles can clash, and we inevitably have to choose between them in cases. Even if those choices make some people uncomfortable. Before today, speech was neither offline nor online so free as to permit fraud. It's a terrible civic abdication to write off criminal behavior because it's so easy to get away with online and because it looks so much on the surface level like "free speech."

Or because we live with too much fear and paranoia to accept even a discussion of establishing standards. Twitter making any judgment that some content is fraudulent is not the same as becoming the editorial boogeyman from the extremist side of whatever political party is opposite to yours. That's fear. That's an appeal to the slippery slope fallacy.

My trip to the store is better off for knowing that if someone was shouting about about Jesus or conspiracies, they'd be asked to leave. We don't question that limit on speech. There's a reason you see people doing that on street corners. If there was never any deplatforming, all platforms would inevitably suck.

Is it ideal that Twitter and Facebook have so much power? Maybe not, but that's just the reality we're in. We can't be paralyzed into inaction. There's no perfect body that everyone would trust to do the job and someone has to keep Twitter and Facebook from sucking too hard. Don't let your paranoia make you overlook that they'd lose half their audience/business if they ever strayed too far from the middle.
Wow, this is a weird thread. Who is this guy and why is everyone so mad at him about making his living in ad tech..?

Him being in ads doesn't change the validity of the points he's making. Websites have to make money somehow. If you don't pay for a subscription, and don't allow the ads to run, why should you still feel entitled to consume their content?

To be super clear: I'm in the ad-blocker camp, but I don't think we can really pretend that it's somehow justified. Ads annoy the bejesus out of me, I'm not willing to pay for a million little one-off subscriptions, there's this lovely back door that gives me all the content with no ads, so, me being of low moral fiber, goes the adblocking route.
The God of the Gaps reasoning always seemed dangerous to me. It creates a system where each scientific discovery diminishes God, pitting religious people against the advancement of science. As the gaps grow smaller so does God. In the long run you're in danger of reducing God to some mathematical constants.

Didn't cha know, innovation in the tech industry is all about using things differently than intended and building new compositions that result in the same end goals as older less sophisticated compositions.
I agree that this is common sense; I've been cognizant of this effect ever since I was in college. However, sometimes common sense turns out to be wrong, so there is value in actually putting common sense to the test.
That's for sure. This is an article that makes an appeal to fairness though. The underlying message is "the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer". So, if you want to follow the argument of fairness, should the wage of the minimum wage workers grow at the same rate as the average productivity for the nation, or as the rate of the productivity gains for the minimum wage workers? If it's the latter, then it's quite likely that the productivity of the lower end jobs did not see a whole lot of gains.
You're assuming that the ratio is disproportionate because people are being pushed out of the industry against their will. Some people get burned out, some people retire early, and some transition into management or start their own company. The industry has grown exponentially in the 20-40 years those people have been working. If the industry now is 10x the size it was in 2000 (arbitrary number), then 40 year old developers should be 10% of the workforce, even discounting any other factors.

I don't see anything alarming here. I am a 40+ year old developer, and I've never seen anyone my age leave the industry because they were victims of age discrimination. The opposite in fact. I have never had so much clout during job hunting than I do now, with 20 years of on the job experience. Anecdata sure, but that survey is not sound, and it does not attempt to discover whether older developers are actually unable to find work, or what other factors (other than the obvious massive industry growth) might contribute to the imbalance.
> The standard could be "Whatever is allowed by US law", which is extremely non restrictive on speech.

This argues that composability is the most important consideration of a domain specific language. But I think, as proved by SQL taking over, the UX is more important. Any programming language must consider the programmer and its humanity and natural way of thinking and reasoning to win in getting the most adoption and mindshare. Usability does matter as the user of any programming language is a human being.

Was QUEL also more usable and natural to people? As well as being more amenable to composition?
These companies are b2b and provide value to other businesses who would rather not become experts in say, how to manage cleaning staff, and rather focus on building widgets.

How different is this than getting your checking account number stolen? When that happened to me at Bank of America, I went physically into a branch where they just called support and we waited on hold for an hour.

What rdw said in a sibling reply. Also, it's all too easy to raise a troll's profile and turn them into an anti-hero or martyr by dunking on them. This is what happened with the POTUS. It's precisely the reaction he gets, the vehement criticism he gets, that makes him popular. His followers think, if he's pissing off a lot of people, he must be doing something right. The worst possible thing that could happen to him, from his perspective, is to be ignored. "All press is good press", as they say. In attempting to refute the message, you inadvertently make the messenger more prominent than they ought to be. You give them more public influence than they ought to have. This is how trolls rise to prominence, not only in politics, but in all areas. Look at the sports shows, where the loudest blowhards with the dumbest opinions — which they spout on purpose! — have the biggest audience. Dumb opinions make an inviting target to dunk on, and everyone takes the bait. The trolls want to be dunked on, time and time again. They want to be the go-to person for getting dunked on. If I make make a very bad Star Wars analogy, it's like when Obi Wan says "You can't win, Vader. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." (Except Obi Wan is the bad guy in this analogy. Which he kind of is anyway, because he lied to Luke about his father.)

Right... but there's absolutely no mechanism to achieve anything apart from through the market (for the private sector.) You can argue all you want, but nothing will happen. Nobody (to an approximation) is going to voluntarily pay more for an abstract concept of fairness.
Save your outrage for when it's government mandated. Until then Twitter can moderate their platform however they want.

By logic, if the rich are held back by any wide spread ideology in society, they tend to fall back into poverty. For example, black nouveau-riche in New Orleans falling into utter poverty once Jim Crow laws were passed, or in feudal societies where self-titled merchant princes would always fallback to becoming common nobodies in time because they were not real hereditary aristocrats and thus didn't get first pick at any new trade route, or crown-backed company.
You've made a strawman. I didn't say that all politics must exist in the workplace.

Work is inherently political. There's no escaping that your workplace is making decisions about wages, benefits, access to their products, how they spend their donation dollars, if they support candidates, who they employ, etc. etc. etc. All of these are political decisions that (I believe) are inescapable and also that workers should have input into.

A web design shop could be a co-op or it could be a standard llc with a founder on top. It might make price services to be accessible to everyone or exclusively focus on enterprise software. They might donate to a local politician. Or rent in a particular area of town. Or purchase carbon offsets for their energy use. Etc. etc.

All of these are inherently political decisions. There's no such thing as an Apolitical workplace.
> Scenario #1: If the tuples are the same shape (type, size), it's fine

In the row-oriented view: each row of a datatable is a tuple of the same shape (size and order of types as every other row) -- just like a database table. So, if the shape is (string, int, date) for row #1, its that shape for every row.

In the column-oriented view, each column is a homogenous array: every element in the column has the same type.

> [ (string, int, date) (string, int, date) (string, int, date) ]

Sure, this is a fine starting table; in row-oriented, its shape (the shape of every row) is (string, int, date). In column-oriented view, the table as a whole can be viewed as a tuple of shape (string[3], int[3], date[3]) because it has three rows. Cool.

> transposed:

> [ (string, string, string) (int, int, int) (date, date, date) ]

Right, this is no longer a datatable. The first row has shape (string, string, string). So, if its a table, the other two rows must also have shape (string, string, string); but instead, each has a different shape.
Yes, in the design context of the creation of the language, that was not in scope, though there are arguments that it's word-formation mechanism bears more resemblance to Chinese than European languages.
Why do you think Twitter is the right platform to measure that by?
Unfortunately yes, IMHO one of the worst examples of IP legislation. Monsanto has successfully sued farmers for drying and planting seeds from their crops grown from Monsanto's seeds.

The even more concerning part of this story might be the possibility of GMO grapes and what this will do to existing vines and orchards that get pollinated with GMO materials.

I believe this all started with flower nurseries patenting their particular strains, but at that time you could still legally grow from the seeds if they produced them.
