I tried making one a year or two ago. When it asked for a phone number I gave a throwaway. Turns out they verify you have control of the number, so next I tried some VoIP digits. Facebook knows which blocks are owned by the larger VoIP companies and requested a _real_ phone number this time. So...I went out and bought a damned phone so that I'd have a phone number to make this bloody account. I verified that I could make and receive calls and started their registration flow again to be blocked by some other kind of BS (I think they thought the number was still in a VoIP block...guess that misfeature isn't perfect?). Anyway, it wasn't thaat important to me, so I gave up and haven't tried again since.
> but respecting candidates should be a priority of any organization.

Sorry, but it's not. I'm not giving Stripe a pass here per se, but the priority of an org is to make money so that they can offer positions.

Scaling recruiting is hard. Just like you might want an org who see thousands and thousands of applications every day to act more benevolently, the opposite also holds true.
Isn't 'no stance' just the 'null stance'? Similar to how one must reject the null hypothesis to accept another, one must reject the null stance to take another.

If that is true, how much better would the salary and perks be for working for a systematically racist corporation?

Not completely, that’s why most of those also have self-hosted solutions available.

It is different in at least one important way: secrets (Such as private keys) are used to secure things (Such as code, data, or conversations) and thus are usually given a higher security priority (Like much tighter access control).

I have opposite experience. I won't leave my country (Japan) so circumstance is something differ.

Without smartphone or PC browser that has useful translation and dictionary feature, I wouldn't start reading English texts initially.

Some Netflix content only has sub (no dub). It helps listening English. I can even show multiple subs for learning purpose. Even dubbed, Netflix supports to show sub and some foreign dramas are useful to learn cultures. Amazon Prime Video is worse for sub/dub perspective.

I found that English YouTube content is very well made, interesting, and English spoken by YouTuber is relatively easier to hear and understand, compared to like CNN. And YouTube's auto sub feature works very well for English. It's really useful so I wish I can use it for other sites.

"Some of AH's technical ideas, while wonderful--have trickled anonymously into the mainstream of rock in bits and pieces--in broadening the scope of guitar solos and sounds--inspiring hard rock players like Van Halen and Alex Lifeson, and shred-meisters such as Satriani and Vai--I have no time for those guys, because their whole approach to music seems mired to me in adolesence. AH forever refined and expanded the sound of the guitar--unlike Fripp, who single-handedly opened up rock music to new degrees of artistry and near limitless boundaries in terms of other musical traditions and approaches...."
Note the different goals of unifont and Last Resort Font. Last Resort Font is intended to provide descriptive glyphs for all codepoints, even for those that are non-characters (which would presumably be out of scope for unifont), and to distinguish between private-use and unassigned codepoints, which would all simply be missing glyphs in something like unifont.

The idea is that if you are working on some software that produces or works with Unicode, you can see at a glance what type of character you have (if no other font provided a glyph), or if the codepoint is private-use, non-character, or not assigned yet.
>I wouldn’t be surprised if Oracle wins on copyright (I think it is almost impossible for Google to count to 5 on their merger doctrine argument) but I disagree that fair use is a long shot.
I wonder about the differences (which definitely do exist) between Oracle's Java API and the OpenJDK Java API.

While they really have to be substantially similar to allow interoperability, OpenJDK is open source (GPL) and Oracle's Java is not.

That brings up a couple questions which don't directly bear on the case just heard by the Supremes, but are (IMHO) relevant to potential second-order consequences of a ruling for Oracle:

1. Given that the OpenJDK API is substantially similar to the Oracle Java API, could Google avoid repercussions by switching to the former from their "adaptation" of the latter?

2. Should an API be considered eligible for copyright, wouldn't that enable opportunities for language and library developers to restrict others from developing competing (via performance or utility enhancements) languages/libraries by forcing anyone who wished to implement enhancements to either purchase a license or flat out deny them the ability to do so (assuming the product --including the API isn't open source)?

3. If (2) is the case, what does that mean for incremental improvements of languages and libraries?

I'm not a java dev or a copyright expert, so pardon me if I missed an important point.
Reflections on trusting trust?
Intel does not seem to have capitalized on the Altera acquisition but maybe that is also related to Intel's fab issues.

From an operation perspective, this combines two non-overlapping TSMC customers that can potentially negotiate better wafer prices together. I assume that AMD has significantly higher wafer counts than Xilinx so this would primarily benefit the Xilinx business.

From a technology perspective, this acquisition may succeed where the Intel/Altera acquisition fizzled due to AMD's chiplet approach. Swapping a processor core for an FPGA chiplet might be an "easy" win in some markets.
It's difficult getting employment in China as non-Han so I'm not sure.

Apple is an expensive oem offering a a finite number of models in a product category with an extremely broad selection.

Take powerful desktops. It's never been cheaper to build a powerful expandable box but whereas you can have something great for 700-1200 apples start at 6000 for something that might not beat the 1200 option.

Alternatively take their very well reviewed laptops that start at 50% more than than the average person pays for a computer. They may be a good value but the average buyer prefers to spend their money on other affairs.

How about a laptop with a modest screen size and dedicated gpu, doesn't exist.

How about a dedicated gpu. You'll need to buy the highest end model starting at 2400 instead of paying 1000 at Walmart.

It seems like 89% disagree with your assessment.
For tying to matter, don’t you need some sort of market dominance? Facebook doesn’t have that in VR. I think you could switch market power for monopoly in my comment and it would have the same meaning: Oculus doesn’t dominate VR.

Your comment sounds smart but provides no information and isn’t obviously correct.
I don’t see this resulting in 20 different web browsers or kernels or OSes that are anywhere near as good as the ones we have today. Making even just one is a shocking investment of resources and a massive ongoing maintenance responsibility. Many, many human lifetimes have gone into building something like Chrome. Wishing that this herculean effort was forced to be duplicated 19 times over just so that you could have alternatives to choose feels kinda perverse.

Present day IBM is not very different from GE. It is a financial company trying to survive from profits in areas it monopolizes. Without anything else to do, GE is going down hard and now is being investigated by the SEC for "accounting practices", i.e., financial manipulation to keep the company alive.

If it's been available for years I'd love to know to find it. There's some attempts in the android ecosystem to do this but they pale in comparison to a proper Linux desktop environment - the main problem being that you're running android apps designed for a mobile screen instead of responsive apps designed for both small touch screens and large desktops.

Nothing but their ethics.

But why would an expert spend any of their valuable time outside of work looking for bugs if they didn't like the terms of the program? That's irrational behavior.

And why would someone who's willing to sell bugs to criminals bother with a site that's already been picked over by bug bounty researchers? The vast majority of companies in operation today have no such program and would likely be much more fruitful.

And lastly how would paying more for bugs prevent someone from also selling it to criminals?
I’m not american, and mispoke. But if you switch out monopoly for market power, I’m not sure it changes the comment. It’s not obvious facebook has inordinate market power in vr.
That's a tough choice. In the end a functioning hr/payroll department beats a good experience.

I've worked in both. When the company with a good environment closes we were all let go. They mishandled my last paycheck so I'm still waiting. No way to get references. Had to contact government to get seperation papers. The bad environment place that stressed you out and then let your department go for something out of your control. The firing process felt good. They provided career support offered a reasonable settlement package. Easy to use as a reference as they provided a contact #

This is quite an accomplishment!

A buddy an I had this idea ~6-7 years ago, and had a couple of the zoom docsis 3 modems handy. They have something like a 100Mhz fairly high bit depth A/D on them. At the time the price/bandwidth was crazy (and still is if someone managed to pull it off with a modern docsis 3.1 system). I got some boot logs/etc but didn't get very far into reverse engineering the chip. Its too bad that the chip vendors go to such lengths to hide what is basically mostly repackaged 3rd party IP from designware/arm/etc.

Current DOCSIS has ~200Mhz sampling per OFDM channel, given a 3rd party tuner in front of it, the results might be pretty crazy.

Good luck, most European countries have unions, and for us the laws negotiated with them usually affect everyone on the building, not just the union people like on US.

Even if Poland unions aren't fully there (no idea), I bet they are more effective and in use than on US.

Google will be surprised.
It doesn't seem worse to me. Apple is free to make and sell accessories for its own hardware products. It would be a problem if Apple sold its smart watch while also breaking iPhone's compatibility with third party smart watches.
Instead of offering holier-than-thou ‘I’m truly sorry for you’ dismissals, I suggest you do some research on the points I made. It is a very complex situation.

Ehhh, you can have this and have a union at the same time. And unproductive slacker orgs without unions definitely exist.

Pay/promo by seniority isn't some innate property of unions, it's a response to a lack of pay increases by management. If management keeps union members happy with their pay, the members have no reason to vote in leadership that asks for pay by seniority and have a lot of reasons to avoid it.
Wow. This failure case of a compiler almost looks like the same sort of nonsense that AI/neural networks can generate, no doubt caused similarly by their immense complexity. The common theme is that no sane human would even think of generating such output.
I think it's telling that neither Biden nor Harris was willing to rule out court-packing at the presidential debates, and at this point I think they're right to leave it on the table!

The correct answer to that question was obviously, "Congress makes the laws, including ones about the number of SC justices, not the President."
Should liability doctrine be changed for software?
At the risk of asking the AMA whether malpractice doctrine should be broadened and strengthened, is some core software at a stage of maturity that negligence or even strict liability should apply? Twenty years I asked senior developers and they said that all new feature development would stop. (I can think of cases where that would have been a good thing.) But economic theory of law suggests that liability should rest with the party who can address an issue most efficiently, most cheaply. That is almost always the developer. What think ye?
>That's not the full scope of it's function, at least in a technical sense. It's also meant to be a utility system-level method and in Java standard library utility methods follow a certain organizational scheme so as to designate their system-level status. This status implies certain aspects of behavior not codified in the API name. Therefore this sort of organizational scheme can be argued to be of necessity and not merely an arbitrary design decision.

I think the key word in your argument is 'implies' and you didn't use the word 'requires'. If the authors of the API are implying the nature of these sets of functions by organizing them under 'system', they are doing so to convey information and an opinion as to the nature of the function. The fact that java.system.out is STDOUT, could be also put into java.io or java.system.unix.out, java.logging.out etc. The 'system' is arbitrary, its not 'required'. For example, the out function does not inspect its package name to determine that this out file outputs to STDERR.

> After January 1, 2023, we will end support for Oculus accounts. If you choose not to merge your accounts at that time, you can continue using your device, but full functionality will require a Facebook account. We will take steps to allow you to keep using content you have purchased, though we expect some games and apps may no longer work. This could be because they include features that require a Facebook account or because a developer has chosen to no longer support the app or game you purchased.

There is a two year grace period, after which everyone will be required to use a facebook account or have the hardware they own retroactively handicapped.

>>Ok. So to pick an obvious example, two related issues that would clearly fall into the “not directly related to the mission” bucket are gay and transgender rights. Without getting at all into the issue of where you (Dear Reader) stand in terms of these particular issues, it seems to me that by saying “we explicitly will not lobby to make sure transgender people have equal rights, because that’s outside of our mission” is at direct odds with saying “we believe a core part of our mission is making sure transgender people feel welcome and can do their best work”.

Unless some law is interfering with the ability of Coinbase to provide a welcoming workplace to employees who are gay/transgendered, gay/transgender social causes have nothing to do with Coinbase's goal of providing a welcoming workplace that maximizes its ability to advance its mission.

You can't shoehorn every 'social justice' issue into the goal of providing a welcoming workplace. The latter statement is not meant to be interpreted in such an all-encompassing way.

Why is it a fact? I'm independent, so I usually let the other two sides battle it out among themselves, while I stand by and am usually quite impressed by the sophisticated and clever arguments going both ways. I have yet to be swayed either way. Still, it's interesting!

In a way it's an optimization. My hope is that one day, when the two sides have finally come to a conclusion as to which one is right, I can join that one, and save myself a lot of trouble in the meantime ;)

I have no clue about Portugal, just wanted to point out these things are independent, e.g. in Norway/Denmark high productivity ("work ethic") while at the same time leaving the office on time and closing shops early.

We had a problem where political conversations were emerging in the office that may be inconsiderate of the views who may be listening.

I proposed a simple rule that you should seek consent from others in the room before bringing up (partisan) politics. This simple "Hey can we talk about the debate last night..." allows for people to skip out before they get dragged into something they may not be interested in.

Many people have their key social group at work, and a lot more energy is tied up in politics in the US at the moment. I think it's important that people can move this energy with their colleagues and others.

Any positive glassdoor post should be suspect. You generally visit glassdoor for three reasons.

1. You are researching a company.

2. You own or work in hr at a company or have been told to post a review by management.

3. You are angry/unhappy at your current role or that you were let go. You go on to warn others / get even.

Rare is the person who is working a company and is happy who decides to visit glassdoor and tell everyone how happy they are. Have you done this? Know anyone who would follow this chain of events?
