I wonder if the Zoom interview was conducted in his native language. If not, he might have been trying to say "I learn from how Jesus founded Christianity and apply that to how I operate my company," which is a bit strange thing to say but not as creepy as "I'm Jesus."

It looks like Kumagai is (at least previously he said he was) a Christian.

Stronger magnets! Better magnetic bearings! RF circuits.

If superconductors were feasible on integrated circuits, I'd expect the TDP to get lower, enabling higher frequencies and integration (3D?). Frequencies would still be limited by propagation delay, but we have some room to grow. Classic FET wouldn't work, I think, at least not without bringing back switching losses, but there's probably a way to create a magnetic transistor using a few superconductor wires (locally increasing resistance above 0, for instance). Or use FETs with adiabatic computing, who knows? Future seems bright, and applications for room-temperature superconductors are aplenty. It's just that everyone thought of them as a pipe dream, so they aren't really being investigated that I know of.

I wish that link had a better list:

At least with a PoC, we might see a revival of real interest in them. Not sure how long it will last, though.
Isn't that telological in that it assumes that "proper taxes" are in service is to make it easier for smaller companies to compete?

The advantages over small companies aren't neccessarily a problem - in the same way that it isn't a problem that a fabric mill makes hand weaving uncompetitive and that a skilled weaver makes a rank amateur uncompetitive.
IIRC, fake news was originally used by the left, but co-opted by Trump.

Technically, the PAC is independent. This isn't something workers have to deal with during business hours.

I'm not sure why anyone donates to it, though. Why not support your own causes?
To put your argument in other words: it doesn't have enough adoption to be more useful than the current alternatives.

That has always been a caveat of new network-effect dependent technologies.

In the early days, the internet wasn't useful to communicate with other people. It was way easier to just call the person on their phone instead of hoping they had a particular messaging application installed on their PC and had it turned on when you were hoping to talk.
Its only value propositions were downloading porn for free or finding communities of geeks, trolls and conspiracy theorists. It served those niches well though, and from there slowly grew to attract more and more people and usecases.
> If the hard drive is a hoax, I think it's important to have an open discussion to shine a light on it.

The damage is still done then. NYPost knows the article is fake news, and so does Giuliani and the other folks surrounding the article.

But put it there, and by the time your "open discussion" is done, the elections will be over.
Just for clarification, is "Cadence" a thing you built with Temporal? I see nothing on that site called "Cadence".

It is, and pre-launch it's honestly more whatever the market will bear.
It's intensely cringe when programmers let down their hair like this and decide to be publicly and flamboyantly non-technical.
Pick a discipline, and you will find a bunch of people who can tell you why the conventional wisdom doesn't apply to them.

It's more common in the young, but also has a much better prognosis.

In particular I've seen my share of code written by non-developers, and they all make the same classes of mistakes one makes when you have less than a couple thousand hours of focused development work under your belt. Well we can't do that because X, or we don't need that because Y. Oh, okay. Is that why I have to come tow you out of the proverbial mud every couple of months?

Could you humor me and try a few of these things out? I think it'll help.

What people fear most is automated systems that are constructed on wishful thinking, not healthy skepticism. A lot of our processes are about proving to ourselves what we think we already know. There is plenty of code under the AI umbrella for which very conventional unit tests could be written. If you can't use our practices for ML, you'd better drop what you're doing and start developing parity, instead of bullshitting yourselves and everyone else about your exceptionalism.

Code that makes decisions for or about people needs more ceremony and sobriety around it, not less. If you can't do at least as well as a startup (which is a pretty low bar), then we are really in some deep doodoo. But not to worry. The good news is that when the machines take over and we have to hide underground, you'll be the first ones we eat, so you won't suffer long.
Indeed, and it would force Facebook have some skin in the game because banning would cost them real money. I'm betting once each ban starts to cost them hundreds of $ they will start to at least put some human eyes in front of it before the ban hammer comes down.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder if that couldn't be used to bootstrap a room-temperature superconductor: cool it down, start a magnetic field, and let the magnetic field reaction compress the material so that you can let it heat back to room temperature. Could an external or room-temperature field also possibly be enough?
Our modules work just as well with tiny ear studs. BUT then you see the module. Which is still fine because here was one of the big drivers for making this:
- earrings are at the ear all day. Unlike AirPods and other earphones. So you don't have to reach for them when you need them.
- even in transparency mode, not all of us like the idea of something blocking our ear canal.
- Smart Assistants are getting powerful, but most of us don't use them anywhere close to their capability because we don't have our AirPods handy all the time, which means we have gotten into the habit of "Siri, what's the stock price of Apple?"
Which doesn’t in any way shape or form negate the simple reality that there is currently an ecosystem of perfectly functioning Lightning accessories that will all need to be junked when Apple transitions the iPhone to USB-C.
So if I ran a chess forum, I could not remove posts about horse racing without losing my section 230 protection? Or posts advertising boner pills?

Cheers for your write up. I noticed a typo near the bottom - "songshit" instead of "songshift" (I assume it's a typo!). Another interesting thing to compare might be the API each service offers, it's easy for most of them - none.
Although I also have various concerns with Google, I feel like lumping them in here is a bit counterproductive. Facebook is on a whole other level to Google in many of these respects.

> GMO is a conglomerate for the internet era, dominating large parts of Japan’s web infrastructure

Japan's web infrastructure is also where NTT, KDDI and Rakuten play in Japan. All of them are horrible companies, if anyone looks at how their services work and operate. The West can rest easy, Japan's online giants represent no threat to anyone.
> The first device to compress – successfully, at least – a mobile phone, a computer with internet access and the 21 century’s equivalent of the Walkman into something that would easily fit into a pocket, the sheer breadth of its capabilities was without precedent.

Sigh. There were other such phones before the iPhone. But I guess if we repeat it long enough, someday we will start believing it.

I can sympathize. I am finally (late 40s) able to sleep several hours in a row after decades of not being able to sleep continuously for more than an hour or so. Ironically, I need to get up at 4:45am for my job but can't go to bed until 11pm. Ha ha. I get to sleep in a bit on weekends so can't complain. My issues were related to chronic illness. I hope you get some relief.
This is like an entirely new genre within fantasy. I don't even know what you would call it, but it is both entertaining and a beautiful showing of skill all at the same time.

Maybe you can't even call it fantasy since it is real code & logic with no magic involved.
We have used it in our insta :) More than once. Great minds &c &c
You can find usbc ports exclusively on newer macbooks and ipads, which is pretty significant, and they also come on the desktop macs. I'm guessing it will appear in iphones at some point; I believe Apple was considering a switch for the latest iphones but backed out in May. It's reasonably likelt that the next models will drop the lightning mini.
This is one of the few criticisms I can get behind. I think Apple could deflect a lot of criticism here for a comparatively small amount of money by simply offering a standalone brick as a free accessory to anyone purchasing a new phone.
As Winston Churchill said "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

In normal circumstances, that doesn't matter. Talk about it, let it fly around the internet and then in a week or so we'll hear the authoritative rebuttal.

However, we are 20 days from the election. People are literally lined up and voting as we speak.
I say good, if anything I want this funded even more. I watched a bunch of BLM protestors tear apart my downtown while local politicians held back the police because they were scared of looking racist. I want federal power expanded until I live in a country that doesn't tolerate arson and murder again. People had their chance to show the merits of an unmonitored society, I got a neighborhood full of businesses with boarded up windows because of it.
>It would be noteworthy if a company didn't restrict their employees from publicly talking...

No it would NOT. It is absolutely noteworthy if they do such a nefarious, un-american thing.

Banning speaking on behalf of their employer. Sure. Go nuts.

Banning speaking as a private citizen because you have an opinion you wish to express in public as a private citizen representing the opinions of yourself?!?

FFS!

Are you actually serious about that???

You can't push back against that hard enough. Surely? Freedom, opposition to totalitarianism. The right to speak your mind. Even if Google doesn't like your opinion and your opinion is objective wrong, to hell with them. Freedom.
How this logic not apply to the steele dossier is beyond me.

Thanks worldmerge
if it was in Japanese, he probably referred to himself as "kami-sama" rather than Jesus Christ, in which case it could be interpreted as your <god of reference> depending on your own religion.

EDIT: if he actually referred to himself as being "Jesus Christ" it would make absolutely no sense, since Jesus never had priests working under him.
Correct but it was basically limited to the obviously fake "russian" troll farms.
Rubber duck your brain. Take a drive, turn on voice recording and pretend you’re expressing your problem to someone else.
Also, with JS allowed there is a scrollable TOC on the left side, from where you can jump to the page.
I don't think we should ban the whole class of online connected products. Just insist they publish a public API under terms that allow competitors to implement it and configure it on the device. Then anybody can create an alternative ecosystem for the device.
I'm seeing an increase in Youtube scams as well where 5k bitcoins are "given away". The video and content look very legit and casual content browsers are easily susceptible.
This is why it's important to consider realpolitik when thinking of company ethics or morals.

Companies have people who will want profit before all else, and they will have people who truly want to value certain user values. The interaction between people is far too difficult to model as a consumer, so it's better to consider the business model, or, more weakly, how a decision affects social capital, thereby affecting this model. This helps create "trustless" scenarios, in which the "morals v profit" quandary is meaningless because both align to some degree.

For example, take Apple and Google. Google profits heavily from adverts, so it is not only sensible but natural that Apple, as a strong rival in the OS field who have no business incentive to do so, should lean heavily into this, exploiting and actualising this gap in business-model-incentive. Likewise, Apple profits heavily from phone hardware: it is sensible and natural that Google, who somewhat rival Apple in this field, should desire somewhat to try and present their phones as being less overpriced.

This is far harder glean information from, of course, and PR can be as genuine as it can be deceiving. But it's a useful tool in a savvy consumer's arsenal, methinks, especially for large decisions or with companies whose practises and profits are well-known (as opposed to, say, a brand of toothpaste).
> so if you don't care about your fiduciary duty to your employer

Your duties are to:

1. Society at large

2. Your users

3. Yourself

4. Your company

In that order.

> you might want to learn how to raise these issues so you can meet your engineering ethical demands and at the same time, not risk landing you and your company in a super-uncomfortable position, whether it's in a lawsuit, or at a congressional hearing.

Or the company could, y'know, keep its shit together and steer clear of stuff that people raise congressional hearings about, rather than just trying to sweep it under the rug.

So that everyone is clear there's a very big difference between Google saying:

1) Use the right language concerning things like 'market dominance'.

2) Not wanting Googlers to have public opinions which are against the companies opinions

3) Suppressing voices over very material causes for concern i.e. whistle blowing.

The more nuanced issue is #1.

If Google legit doesn't believe they are a monopoly player, then they have to make sure that everyone acts and behaves in that manner, and uses the right language. If personnel go around talking about 'dominating the market' that could be effectively 'used against them' irrespective of the material nature of ostensible market domination.

A lot of this kind of stuff is vague, political, words have power etc. and things can be taken way out of context.

It's not wrong for Google to want staff to use the right words to describe market situations correctly.

Of course this means something different if in fact, objectively speaking they're trying to get people to actually misrepresent reality.
Considering the conversations I overheard about "crypto" in 2018, I'm not entirely surprised. There's a lot of gullible people who bought Bitcoin or Ethereum expecting to get rich.
30 days vs. 1 year doesn't make a big difference unless you're hardcore about cycling data around as if kiting credit cards.

From the Bloomberg article: "Some of the doctrine is made up of Silicon Valley-esque platitudes (“Change begins with the mind”) and clichés (“Make everything absolutely cool and beautiful!”). Some is idiosyncratic: Multiple-choice surveys of potential clients must always have an even number of answer options"

Anyone know what the even number of answer options is about? Is it to force no neutral answers? Is it a numerology thing?
Democratic Party members mostly hate their politicians. They're often seen as parasites. They just use the party to get elected. Dems would love to have the kind of relationship Socialist Alternative has with Sawant. Though, in truth, the delegation for Ballard & North Seattle has been pretty good during my direct involvement.

Now that I've played the game a little bit, I don't understand the Corporate Democrat label. As Jesse James said, he robbed the banks because that's where the money is. Same for fund raising. That's been slowly changing on the left as parties wane and interest groups rise. That guy from QuarkXpress was an early pioneer of this model.

I now think of The Struggle as entities defending the status quo (establishment, duopoly) and everyone else storming the castle. That's neither bad or good; it just is.

And per Francis Fukamaya's vetocracy thesis, the connection between our party system and the widespread dysfunction in governance is fairly loose. Right now any one can do anything without much fear of repercussions, esp on the left. Said another way, I agree with Ezra Klein's thesis that if we make the (lowercase) democratic reforms to enable majoritarian rule, then the party system can grow to actually mean something.

I recognize that I'm way to the left of most participants. I have strong affinity for MLK, David Graeber, Jonathan Rawls, and maybe some others. I started as a Green and still (probably) believe in its platform. But Nader nuked that party. (I'm still mad.) And like most Democrats, I joined with the intent to oppose Republicans. aka Negative partisanship. I think this setup is terrible.

Back when I was attending all the third party meetups (Greens, Socialists, Libertarians), I was struck that those members were making an affirmative choice, standing for what they believed in. That's a much more healthy approach.

To feel that vibe, I've focused more on issue based orgs, vs party politics. Gay marriage, weed, sustainability, etc.

So I thank you for sharing some of your Socialist Alternative experiences. I need to go check them out.
Eh, you win some you lose some.

Being able to throw up a new REST endpoint in under 10 minutes with 0 config is really cool though.

And Firebase Functions are priced to work as daily drivers, they can front an entire application and not cost an insane amount of $, per single ms pricing. Lambda's are a lot more complicated.
To expand on this: Well maintained projects do not often push to `:latest`; They treat that tag like a `stable` version and push to it only public, stable releases. Roughly, it should always be max(semver), though practically it often trails when a new major release happens.
Of course not. But how could it possibly be applied evenly? That's not an expectation anyone could genuinely hold.

> Workplaces are a neutral environment. You want activism, do it outside of work.

Workplaces like Google are inherently political because they manage vast amounts of data and their actions have implications on millions—even billions of people. Ignoring this is just complacency.

Why should you only do activism outside of work? If we actually want to change institutions for the better, it helps quite a bit if the people running the institutions are also trying to change thing too. If you don’t want to get involved for whatever reason, that’s fine but I think it’s unfair to say no one should
