Warren Buffet was able to build his empire before HFT, because he was investing, not trying to skim market moves.

Yeah, the 1970s linker model is very silly like this. The good news is that link-time optimization will handle this for you nowadays without any special per-symbol mark-up. As an experiment, put an unused 'deadfunc' function definition in a file called ltotest.c and then compare

gcc -O2 ltotest.c -o ltotest && (objdump -D ltotest | grep deadfunc)

and

gcc -O2 -flto ltotest.c -o ltotest && (objdump -D ltotest | grep deadfunc)

Nope, you should not be arrested. As I said, I understand the slippery slope argument. Look at me applying my subjective judgment to differentiate these two situations as if this is real life.

Thought exercise - could you construct a hypothetical situation where you/he should be arrested? Clearly there is some line, some combination of evidence and circumstance which would allow justify an arrest and search.

And if they are mistaken for doing this and discover they overreacted I'm sure some lawyer will be glad to sue the French government on these technicalities and ensure heads would roll. ;)

That's not at all true; most Reddit subs have become their own circlejerk about US politics (even those that you'd think would be far from political), and frankly it's annoying.
GPA seems much more likely to be entangled with various aspects of privilege than SAT.

For instance, I attended a HS where GPA was graded on a 4.0 scale, even for advanced placement and college credit classes. The consequence is that you had a bunch of "Valedictorians" with perfect GPAs that attended spitwad classes.

Other schools I've seen grade on a 5.0 (or even a 6.0 I believe) system, to differentiate.

I would also suspect that GPA is more easily influenced by parental involvement than SAT (or just a plain IQ test).

" I support freedom of speech, and liking something is speech"

Freedom, liberty have limits. The limits are cultural and ruled by law. In France, the freedom of speech must respect individuals and allows to mock ideas and ideologies. And religions are ideologies.

If people feel offended when their ideas are criticized or mocked, they are not supposed to kill: they have to adapt, or if in doubt they are personally attacked, they can address a tribunal to settle the case.

Liking a murder is not an opinion or a speech, it is personally attacking the victim and his relatives.

"Clearly Islam, if followed to the letter, is incompatible with the modern world (...) Hell, nor is Christianity, if taken literally."

Not sure about this: all religions have specificities and different reference texts. Of course christians and muslims are humans, and humans kill when reaching extreme conditions. However christians are in violation of their texts when killing.

Not in Islam: muslims are in line with their prophet life (hadith "who leaves the Religion, kill him!") and Koran, a book written by God himself. Koran is quite a bloody book describing severe rules, xenophobia for non-muslims, slaughters, slavery, explicitly allowing wife-beating...
And being written by God, not a word can be challenged by moderates to stop extremists: they would just put themselves in the blasphemy list for being murdered.

Some muslims try to unlock Islam from these deadlocks. However it usually brings them to harsh times, a lifetime in jail in the best case (Raif Badawi), or being murdered (Mahmoud Mohammed Taha).

Amy Coney Barrett confirmed as Supreme Court Justice
Whilst I don't take an active interest in our government (Australia). Due to the requirement to vote it does make you think each year, well if I do have to vote then where should I put my vote? And I do use sites such as isidewith.com to understand better not only the current issues in our country, but who fits closer with my views and what changes I'd like to see.

I then vote from there. Additionally, because we all have to vote a lot more people at least have the conversation around who they're voting for.

That approach may not work in the US as from what we have seen, Americans don't take well to things when they're mandatory.
I find the month to minute transformation rather shocking. Are you sure you weren't doing something algorithmicly wrong in python? Did you profile it? Like I would never leave something running for a month without putting a fair bit of time into making sure it was fast.

So thank you for taking the time to explain this all to me. I've never been able to find out much published on this online by Intel.I assume you had to figure most of this out on your own through reverse engineering techniques?

Have people/you figured out as much about trust is bootstrapped in AMD CPUs? I'm reading that the ME equivalent is an embedded ARM core using TrustZone? Is that right?

Thank you, again.

> Holistic measures that limit the Asians at elite educational institutions and businesses to 20-25% may be tolerable. Measures like lotteries that would reduce Asian representation down to 5-6% would be a dramatic negative change.

We shouldn't limit the number of Asians at top universities or companies. But we shouldn't be content with a system that perpetuates a status quo built on our country's original sin. We have to do something proactively. Maybe it's reparations. Maybe it's universal pre-kindergarten or means-tested baby bonds. But it's something instead of nothing.

This the problem with anecdotal data. In the past I have spent years mostly developing and implementing new algorithms, where appropriate using graph representations. I've also spent months at a stretch on low level performance tuning.

I don't find python beautiful; it's a functional glue language and I don't hate it. It has an ok REPL and some quirky design choices. It has a decent C interop which makes it practical. What makes it useful for data analysis is the large number of packages and staggering number of person-years that have been put into them. The greater python community is great. The language is ok. Together that's pretty useful.
It's arguably a Protestant heresy (specifically a variant of the Social Gospel) which removes God, Jesus, and the forgiveness of sins.
Yikes. I agree with the employment attorney idea and I think HR would help here. There are other options, but they're risky and you shouldn't have to do this in the first place.

Who do you report to in the structure? What's the culture elsewhere in the company? If the culture is positive elsewhere and upper management seem like decent people, I'd go over your manager's head and explain what's going on to an executive. This sounds like a bad manager scared to have a difficult conversation. Outline specific events, with dates and relevant people, then put it in business terms. Employee retention, work quality, motivation as it relates to deadlines/innovation, etc. Whatever personal perspective you want to add, I'd keep it in a separate section because if they care, it'll be obvious what the impact to you is and if they don't care, they can focus on the business cost.

I guess if you're feeling really empathetic, you could talk with the abusive coworker directly, but that's a risk. Even just trying to connect with him as a person - asking him how he's doing or something non-work related.

I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you find a way out. If it was me, I'd tell the boss that I won't work with $abuser and to go fuck himself if that's a problem. Apparently that kind of behavior flies.
That's a brutal commute. 1h30min 1 way.

Also, whatever you save in housing you lose in adjusted income. Chicago salaries trend higher.
Anecdotally, I know several people who would end up making less if they moved, because their company would “adjust” their salary if they move to a different tax regime. And moving when not telling their employer would probably result in a termination of employment. Essentially this would offset a 15k bonus, since the company would probably take that into account when “adjusting”.

In practice, all that accomplishes is everyone tries to cast their opponents as "intolerant" so they may be censored. And "intolerant" is such a broad term, it can be applied to nearly everything, and abuse is guaranteed.

Accusing a whole group of racism and guilt based on skin color? Intolerant.

Want to close the borders? That's intolerant of those who want to enter.

Drawing disrespectful cartoons you know will cause backlash and division? Intolerant.

Boycotting a country or business because they endorse said cartoons? Also intolerant.

So much so that in all the comments here, I am the only one to mention the name of the person who seems ultimately responsible for this, Samuel Rotrosen.
> ... Bangalore having 8 unicorns vs Delhi's 11.

How much of that is related to government influence (the effectiveness of pushing Bangalore & Hydrabad to be tech centers)?

I note that Bangalore's population is 8m, while Delhi is 21m. If it was 'unicorns per population' then you'd naively expect a ratio of 8:21, not 8:11.
Are you sure about that? Because I worked with other contractors and they also had a schedule like me. The main difference was that they didn't get any benefits and could be let go immediately.

Really I do not like compare my work to any other. I've created this lib with bearing in mind do it simple at first.

Xlsx-import is created not only for lists imports, it additionally allows define import single object from spreadsheet (field Name takes from A1, field Age from B6 etc)

It is fully written in TS, supports typings really well.

Additionally it runs internally on ExcelJS, where I'm one of maintainers - developing xlsx-import I also fixes bugs in exceljs.

I'm also going to write a cli to this tool which will great works with xlsx-renderer.
> ICE contracts...You know, the guys who forcibly castrate women

Whatever your feelings on ICE, this story was never substantiated and you shouldn't be repeating it as though it's an established fact.

This is how disinformation spreads. People just casually repeat things as if they're common knowledge. Soon everybody just "knows", no matter whether it was ever true to begin with. It's lazy and irresponsible. Stop it.
This is a false dichotomy, you don't know what was sacrificed for backwards compatibility or what features were crippled because of it.
It does. I think I just googled for it and a look came up.
Biological immortality seems to be a reality for some not-so-simple organisms, the immortal medusa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii) and even lobsters.

Biological organisms already have an impressive capacity to repair themselves. They don't avoid death at the cellular level, they simply replace dying cells with new cells.

And this is the case for many if not most of our cells.

As long as they don't die all at the same time, a biological organism should be able to maintain this cycle of replacement forever.

It might even be something simple, like the telomere repair mechanism.
Covid: Antibodies 'fall rapidly after infection'
I keep thinking about this takedown... the issue at hand is the inclusion of youtube links in the readme, which encourages downloads of copyrighted works from youtube. From the complaint:

> The clear purpose of this source code is to (i) circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube, and (ii) reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use.

(i) Does YouTube have "technological protection measures" that prevent downloading? In the case of the AACS controversy, this was a bit more clear-cut: there was a secret key that was cracked, but what exactly is being "circumvented" in this case?

(ii) Nowhere does youtube-dl advertise that it's to be used to "reproduce and distribute" without authorization.

I feel like this is a YouTube ToS violation, not a DMCA-strike-worthy copyright violation.
