Things are going really badly Covid-wise throughout Europe right now, and there doesn't seem to be a plausible path to stopping it. Even lockdowns are increasingly politically and socially non-viable. I suspect it might not be obvious over in the US because the press only seems to run comparisons which make the US look like a unique failure due to Trump for election-related reasons. (Seriously. It was amazing watching, for example, the New York Times switch from downplaying the severity of Spain's outbreak compared to Florida to ignoring it to turning the country's politics into a Trump analogue once the disaster became undeniable - and if I recall correctly this was ostensibly news, not editorial. France looks like it could potentially end up reporting more cases than the entire US in the not-so-distant future, and I don't know how the press will cope with that.)

>You are describing the abridging private organizations' right to free speech

Many people and organizations have their free speech regulated because of the ability of speech to do harm (e.g. yelling "fire" in a crowded theater).

Saying something trite about rights is not an argument. these companies have a huge responsibility to our democracy, and treating them as if they're just another company is exactly what allows them to be so cynical about making decisions calculated to increase ad revenue even when they're harmful to democracy.
You have to go back almost 20 years to understand the relationship between the ASF and the Java community. Java at the time was positioned to be a core web technology (originally as applets, then as as backend tech via J2EE) and Apache was interested in ensuring the web ecosystem as a whole wasn't locked up in proprietary tech. The ASF was rather influential in working with Sun at the time to foster was eventually became a vibrant open source community.

I know the ASF isn't as trendy these days, but that's never really bothered those of us who volunteer. The focus has always been about a stable, open source ecosystem, primarily, but not exclusively for the internet and its underlying infrastructure. The goal is measured in decades.

It wasn't about being "enterprisey" or anything like that. The ASF as a foundation doesn't really care about the language or tech stack. Being a more mature non-profit, many corporations have found it easier to interface with the ASF than many other open source organizations out there, which does lend itself to seeing a lot of enterprisey donations.
To be fair, almost everything on ZH is predicting catastrophe - ZH is rife with prepper-flavored "this is the big one" reports on things like FEMA operations, rumors of potential false flag attacks, and of course various financial instrument movements. 99% of what ZH says is the end of all things fades into nothingness.

ZH is the canonical example of a correct-twice-daily broken clock.
I can only imagine an atheist or someone who isn't convinced of reincarnation would have this view?

When i mean lucked out i mean that they were lucky enough to have good enough lobbyists to pay their way out of their trouble.

Any company can become aggressive/shitty/evil depending on who runs things. I mean if we look at Suns legacy, Sun today is the biggest threat to open source we have (would would have thought about that in the 90s?).. sure it's really called Oracle now with Larry.E pulling the strings.

MS in the 80s and 90s had lucked in on their DOS deal and i think Gates in the back of his mind might was just watching all the time for threats coming and doing to MS what he did to IBM. But being facing a split-up i think Gates didn't see much point in "winning" any more since doing that would just lead to being big enough to actually be forced to divest things. (So he got bored and started doing other stuff, i know i would)

I think a comparison to the oil industry is apt, early oil was really ruthless in terms of competition (until the breakup of Standard Oil that really MS was the closest to becomming) but todays big-oil industry is quite evil but that is more the making of a collective greed of many middle to high managers and we're seeing the big IT firms approach that state quickly.

That was my first thought as well. Just decide what you want and tell them something in that ballpark. Why try to drag it out of them what they want to pay? Either they will meet your demand or not.

The author notes that they only get about 50% of regular speed with this approach, and that may be a significant part of the challenge---speech can encode complex concepts into a few words (especially given context), but the actual baud rate isn't particularly impressive. Keyboard interface, where possible, seems to still win out.

Oh I agree completely.

Up front info is worth gold. If I know it is one of the scenarios you mentioned, or haggling is expected, game on!

I am fine with a haggle. Lots of ways to see value. Great discussion!

In your narrow scenario, I would compute needs plus reasonable wants, then add on compensation for any draconian policy and drop a number. Hit or miss. Not my problem, unless it is.

If it is my problem? Get a deal, keep life funded and look for better as ones risk and cost profile permits.

One qualifier is whether the position has a sales or biz dev component. Deffo haggle. Expected. There is a need to sell too, so make it sizzle.
The wasm paper covers these issues, and is short and pretty readable:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=14979605902538775...

tl;dr security introduces a lot of design constraints that RISC V doesn't have.

section 2.3 on structured control flow:

WebAssembly represents control flow differently from most stack machines. It does not offer simple jumps but instead provides structured control flow constructs more akin to a programming language. This ensures by construction that control flow cannot form irreducible loops, contain branches to blocks with misaligned stack heights, or branch into the middle of a multi-byte instruction. These properties allow WebAssembly code to be validated in a single pass, compiled in a single pass, or even transformed to an SSA-form
intermediate form in a single pass.

Also, wasm is a "Harvard architecture" rather than von Neumann (separate address space for code and data), also for security reasons:

section 2.2:

Linear memory is disjoint from code space, the execution stack, and the engine’s data structures; therefore compiled programs cannot corrupt their execution environment, jump to arbitrary locations, or perform other undefined behavior. At worst, a buggy or exploited WebAssembly program can make a mess of the data in its own memory.

However, wasm also leaves some things to be desired security wise. Buffer overflows in C are still buffer overflows once you compile to wasm, and can be chained in to JS exploits.

If you try to use RISC V in the same contexts, you'll have the same problems. If you have an additional layer of process sandboxing, then those could be mitigated. But then RISC V is not a wasm replacement.

Although maybe wasm is hopeless for C code, so you need more sandboxing anyway, so then it's on par with RISC V... interesting question.

> You are describing the abridging private organizations' right to free speech by congress...

There is a large amount of legal precedent in the US for the government being able to compel speech of private businesses, both in laws and court rulings. If you don't believe me, go look at your nearest "nutrition facts" label. But we have precedents that go much deeper than that, up to and including compelled speech that goes against the religious principles of a business's founders. There is no realistic argument for the government being unable to compel a private company like Twitter to cease censoring posts on political grounds.

This is not what I'm talking about.

"Parsing with Derivatives" is the title of a 2011 paper by Matt Might, David Darais, and Daniel Spiewak that generalizes the Brzozowski derivative from regular expressions to context-free grammars. In the present discussion, I assumed the context to be about CFGs instead of REs because that is most often what people are referring to when we talk about parsers in programming languages, though I admit that I could have been more explicit about this.

What you linked is an improvement of the Brzozowski derivative, but it does not constitute a parser for CFGs.
Congress can trivially defund anything they please. It is illegal to spend money that hasn't been directly allocated by Congress.

The US's problem is that Congress has abdicated most of its power to government agencies in the Executive branch, and politicians are happy with this as it makes them less responsible for failures to properly govern.

You present this as an axiom, like it's some kind of foregone conclusion, but why? Why shouldn't they be allowed to curate what content makes on their platform? I'm not saying they should have a legal mandate to judge truth, but if they object to certain publications, articles, authors, posts, etc, that's up to them.

If they hire you and find out you lied, they might fire you. Some companies, particularly larger ones, will fire people for any lies on their job application or background check, as a matter of HR policy.

So, don't lie. Just refuse to tell them your salary history and talk about your expectations instead. If that negotiating approach causes you to lose that job opportunity then you were probably asking for more than they were willing to pay, and you probably weren't going to get it anyway.
My friend likes to say, Toronto housing prices could collapse by 50% and my $400k dollar house in 2005 will still be worth over a million. I don't think there are a lot of folks that realize how much some areas of Toronto have increased over the last 15 years. It is not uncommon to have the a buyer from Asia purchase a house for 200-300k over asking and not even move in, or the buyer is a Chinese UoT Student and buys a 1.8 million dollar house. It is beyond insanity and even a crash won't bring it back to reality.

Gluster's performance with metadata heavy workloads is very poor. If you're running files with a high ratio of data:metadata, it works well; if you're running something like a git repo on Gluster it is not a great experience.

It's also thrashing a bit development wise; there's a lot of features being pruned, and I'm a little concerned what its future looks like as Red Hat push harder down the Ceph route, since they're the main source of code contributions to Gluster.

We really need to stop expecting so much from speech in technology. It simply isn't a great input method. It's loud, it lacks privacy, and for short commands it takes way too long.

I think a lot of people are counting on speech to bring us into a sort of Star Trek future.

The real game changer for input is along the lines of what the neural lace is supposed to be. Cognitive input. Silent, fast, efficient. In many cases once the technology is mature people won't even have to internally verbalize commands. Just look at a light and desire it to be dimmer.. it dims. "typing" at the speed of internalized though will also be amazing.

Every time I hear someone (including myself) tripping over "OK Google" I cringe.

It's effectively a utility.

That's never been interpreted to require, for example, that the USGS needs a warrant from a court to make a map.

Similarly, Palantir's collection of data isn't considered to be owned by those who it documents.

I may despise Palantir, or think there should be other reforms to how data "ownership" works, and I may think that private companies are creating a giant Constitution-circumventing loophole, but it's very disengenuous to suggest that our history would make any government purchasing or licensing of something from a private business subject to a warrant.
Acquihire was not quite what I was getting at...but more along the lines of companies cooperating to facilitate quasi-free movement of their employees under appropriate conditions especially when it benefits all or the majority of the stakeholders involved, even when it is a single lone employee.
