I don't see how any activity here helps an alternative to cash for payments. I'm not even fussed about anonymity here: visa/mastercard seem to provide a nationalizable service at an extremely poor quality and cost. We really deserve much better as both payers and payees.
Cargill and Koch industries certainly did.

So it's not a stretch.
In general, the consumer data privacy laws in regions where Google has significant regulatory exposure do not permit indefinite data retention of PII. My speculation is that Google sees an across the board, 2-year inactivity period as the best option to mitigate regulatory exposure because a plain reading of, for example, Rec. 39 is that a maximum retention period must be defined as a policy organizationally.
It's interesting, but I hate to think this might have been the response to a junior developer's suggestion to clean up unused functions in a code base.
Yes it does. Are you mentioning in the internal services documentation that they can lose data second unknown conditions? And on your product hunt page that "your content might be randomly lost"? If you do not then you are lying. Everybody using the service expects transactional consistency.

Note that what you described is not eventual consistency but rather "certain non-determinism", there is an abyss of difference.
Fairness, Accountability, Transparency (aka FAT) is a real sub-field of machine learning, that is as technical as any other machine learning sub-field in my opinion. It is not a PR stunt. I've published at top ML conference a paper about some CUDA kernels I wrote to accelerate training a class of RNNs, so I feel have technical grounding to make these claims.

Here are some FAT papers I've enjoyed:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08010
https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.04023
https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.04383 (won best paper award at ICML 2018)

Many FAT papers are published at NeurIPS or ICML (generally considered top two machine learning conferences). There's also a conference just on the topic: https://facctconference.org/
> They also have a lot less people :)

Afghanistan + Djibouti + Iran + Kuwait + Libya + Mauritania + Saudi Arabia + Somalia + Yemen = ~200 million people.

Add to that the number of Muslims living in countries like Indonesia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sudan without total prohibition but with prohibition for Muslims, and you’ll easily exceed the population of the US.
I will say that having many processes, selectively enforced is a common cover for disparate treatment.
That’s not what scarmig said though:

>But really we need a revision of antitrust law for the modern era, and we need it to be enforced.

What revisions would you like to see? The underlying activities that make up the behavior we call "antitrust" haven't really changed.

I'd say the solution is much more about muscular enforcement than revising the law.

That said, there may be something I'm missing here.
That's mainly media. What's the deal with deleting emails of all things, as if they couldn't support that aspect indefinitely?
> The US doesn't have an active separatist movement within its borders.

This is absolutely wrong[1]. In fact, we have ethnic variety in our separatist movements: neo-Confederate/white supremacist, African American, and Native American.

All of these groups are allowed to organize peaceful public rallies against the US and will be protected by police if they choose to do so[2].

> The last time an ethnic group of US residents was suspected of disloyalty (without any terrorist acts actually being committed) they were all arrested on the basis of ethnicity alone.

You can find great evil in the history of any country. That's an apples-to-oranges comparison, and you had to go back to a World War to find it.

The relevant question is whether the CCP is currently a greater threat to human rights than the US is.

This is the direction I hoped Xero would head, but unfortunately never quite made it. It has all the relationships in place to do so, and their software already handles these transactions at the accounting level.

It seemed as if the fear of disrupting banks/banking relationships won out against innovation. Rather than build the necessary product and commodity banking they’ve worked with the banks to build out their products.

I’m sure they’re still having a lot of meetings...

Electric is nice, but the long term cost seems to be significantly higher. As a practical matter an battery electric mower, for example, is good for a few years. Where a gas powered Honda is good for decades. This is what has stopped me from buying too many electric yard tools. Instead I just pay someone to do the yard and that way the ecological impact of the tools are minimized.
hmmm.. that is surprsiing. Is that because people aren't on-the-go as much and don't use mobile?
Hmm, I think it's not a bad idea to add webasm as an additional abbreviation between WebAssembly (too hard to type) and wasm (too cryptic.)

> Yes, and its unclear what this behavior was.

The email clearly states: "certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager"

> No, which is my point.

No, that is the opposite of your point. You said that people critical of Google have been given a rampdown, so it is unusual for her to not be given a rampdown. My point was that there may be other reasons for her not being given a rampdown - that being exactly what was in the email shared about her not behaving as a manager. If you think that she was fired solely for being critical and not given a rampdown, then there should be other examples of people being fired without a rampdown for merely being critical.

Based on what? Do you have anything to demonstrate that assumption and back it up with facts?
Completely agree with you. I would normally expect the inclusion of "enemies" into "neighbours" to be implicit in light of the prelude and postlude around the parable of the Good Samaritan.

I think there's a good argument to be made that you should have to make your mind up about staying permanently after a few years. There is a lot of value in having people set roots in a community long-term.
The fine-grained classification work associated with her thesis isn't an _easy_ technical problem. The dataset, labeling, and architecture generated a few other first-author conference papers for her besides the thesis, so it's not like she just applied an off-the-shelf model to an existing dataset...
is Stripe merging with PSTH?
Great reference. This highlights an interesting property of 'reasonably-solved' problems like spell checking and why they might be so much more straightforward now.

It's often not that we've developed groundbreaking algorithms that make solving the underlying problems intrinsically easier - the techniques we're using (like ngram modeling, in this case) may be the result of research work decades ago.

Instead the difference is that the fruit of that prior work has been implemented and made available in more accessible forms (libraries and source code) - and becomes easier to re-use, reason about, and modify thanks to abstraction and languages that have evolved to handle similar problems in a more expressible manner.

(upgrades in hardware and resources certainly help advancement too, but spell checking's probably a good example of a situation where an efficiently-designed implementation's likely to be noticeably more responsive, whether it's 1980 or 2020)

The whole "cloud storage" fad should go away.
The feature creep is irrelevant to the article. In 1984, a spell checker could be just a list of words and would still be a major engineering challenge.
People use email as a sneaky method of storage
I also receive emails and invites for someone else but I actively use my Gmail account. I think it's just people misspelling email addresses.
The closest equivalent is probably the War on Terror, insofar as both purport to be a reaction to actual terrorist attacks and to be aimed at preventing future terrorism. We may then compare them in terms of (crudely) total actual suffering caused (less crudely, we need to take into account total potential suffering prevented - recall how Hiroshima was justified - but evaluating counterfactuals is a tricky matter so I will set that aside here). Even assuming the worst version of what's said to be happening in Xinjiang, there is no equivalence (in terms of actual suffering caused) with the War on Terror, which is estimated in 2009 to have resulted in 3.1 million direct or indirect deaths [1]. From a crude utilitarian point of view, there is simply no comparison: any clear-headed utilitarian given the choice to prevent exactly one of two will not feel that there is even a decision to be made.

Of course a natural reaction is to say that the Uyghurs have a legitimate cause, and the 911 attackers didn't. However, the official US theory of the motives behind the 911 attacks is "they hated us for our freedom". [2] According to this theory (as I understand it), the terrorists saw how free Americans were, saw how unfree they themselves were, became jealous, and attacked us. Now, there is no doubt that IF this theory is true, then the attackers indeed had no legitimate cause. But the theory (as I trust you will agree) is hardly believable, as it simply does not accord with our ordinary conception of how the human mind works. A more plausible theory of the motives is needed in order to make any assessment of whether the terrorists had a legitimate cause.

I didn’t hear Sean Bean’s character screaming in the footage this time.
The current (and maybe forever) culture of us vs them. For being portrayed as the "gentler" sex the louder feminists sure don't come across that way. I've said it before and I will say it again: I think that the "winners" in this particular situation don't care at all or even relish the suffering of the "losers".
> Yes. I can prove that this is real

There's also at least two alternative explanations.

I also get a lot of emails to an account I own from someone who keeps using my email instead of theirs. You'd think they would have noticed they aren't receiving them by now, but apparently not. Are you also totally sure that it's not just someone else entering an email address they don't own for work and party invites?

And for a second explanation, are you sure it wasn't hacked/stolen?

There's groups of people out there that bruteforce and then sell OG accounts, such as short twitter handles and common firstname.lastname email accounts.

The fact that the forwarding rules are still setup and working actually leads me to think it's more likely someone else stole the account rather than that it was deleted and recreated, assuming someone else really has access to it.

There's other possible ways your account could have been compromised too, like having a backup email address for it on some other email provider or domain that did go under or get compromised, but a weak password or a re-used password from a leak seem most likely for the compromise route.

Do you have evidence somehow that the account wasn't stole in that way?
> It is expressly the statutory policy directed by Congress.

Yes, that's what makes the fiction legal. However, the "fiction" part is about prohibiting government agencies from concluding immigration intent based on the application for permanent residency which clearly does show immigration intent. The H1B holders are still technically required to not have immigration intent, and it still technically is a non-immigrant visa, but it's all a fiction in practice.

> I recently had an exchange with someone that reminded me how important trust and mutual respect is and how the lack of such tends to cause problems to escalate.

What feels like a breakdown of trust in society has been on my mind a lot recently. Without trust, it seems communication and collaboration becomes impossible. How can society solve any of its problems when people can't discuss anything about those problems or potential solutions without it turning into a fight?
> From what they said above, it sounds like that's exactly the kind of thing it would catch unless you consistently wrote "ture" and "flase" many times in the same document

The trigrams tur and ure are not that uncommon, nor fla or ase (though maybe they are less common in a programming context, by but even then it might depend on domain).
> The original legislation before the board had sought to exempt only medicinal cannabis users from the indoor smoking ban, but the board voted to exclude marijuana smoking in general because state law prohibits cannabis users from smoking in public places

Maybe the key caveat here, glad to see we avoided the kafkaesque situation of "you can freely smoke cannabis, just not inside or outside".
'tur' & 'ure' must be pretty common (turnip, turn, turing, nurture, century; urethra, pure, cure, lure, endure) trigrams though.
I know that. I'm not saying they don't.

I think there’s definitely a dynamic in any dogmatic arena (social justice is dogma heaven) where the most pathological people thrive.

In the high-dogma arena there’s incredibly easy and visible signals that give you the ability to appear like “one of the good ones.”

I think coincidentally this is highly attractive to elite circles too. Follow all the social justice rituals and shibboleth and you suddenly get the camouflage of an empathetic, good person.

Exactly how is it much better? It's not the first chip with a 15-25W TDP. When compared to other chips with such a TDP, it's incrementally faster in single core and it trades blows in multicore. It does this at a process node ahead.

For very light loads, it does have a slightly better power performance than existing low power PC processors, but not by that much. A Ryzen LPP core is somewhere between the big and the small cores of the M1 in power performance in such cases.

It's not the first PC chip to be an SOC, or to have unified memory, or to have many coprocessors. Literally all of those were done simultaneously, in chips of comparable performance, at the same power.

It's also been a decade that we know that instruction sets don't matter. All modern PC processors use a different instruction set and translate from x86. To switch them to ARM would be a matter of adding a few extensions to expose all the functionality, and change the instruction translation stage a bit.
> if your performance is good they want to keep you, so they sponsor you for greencard

I think this is an important factor that shouldn't be ignored. An employer can not choose to keep you on an H1-B forever. That status will expire after 7 years, at which point you are either leaving, or have already begun the PERM process.

sql is not a code, like c#, you dont debug it, you inspect results, or inspect execution plan/traces.

how would you debug HTML, for example? Open it in browser, right?
same for sql: run it and see if it works as you wanted

same goes for composability: you can compose SQL same way you can compose HTML, but you still need to understand the big picture

explicit control flow in SQL (cursors, for loops and stuff) is absolutely an antipattern. You need to think in terms of relational algebra and functional programming in order to write clean SQL
I think it is important to note how well the animated series set this up and how they adapted an actual story, not an utterly unrelated side story (like the norm for properties like Dragonball). Considering the quality of TV in general, this might be a model that will be adopted.

Oh, and unlike the vast majority of Anime serieses produced today, Kimetsu no Yaiba somehow manages to appeal to the mainstream.

At a previous job I was at, we put each release of the sprocs into a different schema. Upgraded app servers called sprocs in schema "r102" while the not-yet-upgraded app servers continued to call sprocs in schema "r101" until they were eventually upgraded.

She was fired for damaging Google's reputation. In her email, she carelessly demanded names of those who reported her, that can be interpreted as extortion, and Jeff didn't miss the opportunity to call her out. Her offer to resign was another mistake: she would be fired anyways, but for a different reason and with more paperwork. Now if she takes this to a court, she would have to tell the judge what she needed the names for.
