When you couple that with tools that can never understand page layout or relationship, you get horrible CSS where every element has a corresponding unique CSS class or any number of utility classes.

As best I can tell, everyone on that train is 99.9% full of shit and acting in a pretty dangerous manner.

> Didn't she inject code into an unrelated internal extension?

Depending on your definition of code, that's probably not the case. She added an entry to a config file that contained a mapping of urls to messages. Such as:

dropbox.com/upload -> Friendly reminder: please don't upload internal documents to dropbox

Also, Google generally trusts engineers and it's not that unusual to have an engineer writing and deploying code. So essentially it was her job to work on and deploy this extension. I believe that had the message been an April fools day joke she wouldn't have been fired.

So in my opinion arguments that others have made (not you) that: "this was a unauthorized code change therefore obviously she should be fired on security grounds and charged with violating the CFAA too, it doesn't matter what the message was" don't really hold water. There's also an argument that she used some sort of "emergency" deployment mechanism, but that doesn't really hold water either. Honestly it's not that unusual to see people deploy some package when they need it rather than wait for a scheduled job to deploy it.

I think the grey area she was operating in boils down to: She had a platform to distribute certain types of messages internally and she put a message in there that probably wasn't the normal type of message distributed. If I were her manager I probably would have taken some action but it wouldn't have been firing.

September 11, 2001 was recent news, I'm old.

The initial poster (me) is talking about timescales much bigger than 9/11. There was a time where if your neighbor dropped dead from the black death it was normal. Right now most people don't know anyone who was even in the building when 9/11 happened.

Keep in mind the amount of car accidents in the US constitutes a mass slaughter on a scale far larger than anything you can comprehend yet you are ignoring it. There are plenty of things far worse than COVID deaths and 9/11 going on in the world right now... YET we are still more at peace and safer than we ever have been before.

Does that make you evil and heartless for completely ignoring how car manufactures and drivers are slaughtering people? No. It doesn't. But it does highlight the fact that you are using and throwing around numbers to raise emotions the same way the media does.

Just to keep things in perspective.

I guess my experience has been a bit different. Yeah I mean there are some really esoteric programming topics, like actually implementing compression algorithms, which I will probably never invest the time to learn. But in terms of "general programming", I feel like at some point over the past ten years, I developed a pretty clear mental model for how a line of high-level code maps to how the CPU/GPU is manipulating memory. I feel like once you start thinking in terms of hardware, the pace of revelations slows way down, and different programming topics mostly seem like different ways of doing the same thing.

But now he can't monitor its performance and intervene when it's wrong or offer feedback. He's turned into an automaton, and we're assuming his central planner has all the knowledge and understanding necessary to successfully manage a central plan and react to (perhaps unexpected) changes.

And that's only considering the perspective of task performance, which is not the only angle here. Is it really a better world if all the tasks are performed perfectly, but if almost everyone's reduced to a deskilled, mind-numbed, burger-flipper?

No, at the moment "the main purpose of a vaccine" is still not "herd immunity" at all. The Phase 3 trial protocols measured and presented the "efficacy" which is defined as the reducing the chance of the vaccinated getting sick -- that is, merely reducing the severity of disease among those who were vaccinated.

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/941030?src=soc_tw_20111...

"In an ideal world, a vaccine would prevent infection entirely and, it follows, also prevent disease and severe disease. But this may be hard to achieve for a respiratory virus vaccine. Animal challenge data suggest that vaccinated animals may still be infected even if they don't experience symptoms. A vaccine that is able to reduce the severity of disease, even if it cannot prevent infection entirely, would obviously still have enormous public health value. Therefore, this is what trials target as their primary aim."

Not all vaccines are the same.

For mumps, totally different kind of disease, to prevent an outbreak, there was a following calculation:

https://vector.childrenshospital.org/2017/03/social-media-mu...

"since one in 10 vaccinated people are still susceptible to mumps, an overall vaccination rate of 96 percent is needed to prevent an outbreak"

For Covid-19, to note from the first source again:

"A vaccine that is able to reduce the severity of disease, even if it cannot prevent infection entirely, would obviously still have enormous public health value. Therefore, this is what trials target as their primary aim."

Trump should tweet "Multiple election sources called this election differently" would be hilarious. Twitter has been mocking him for a long time now with this line. But would take on the opposite meaning if he tweeted it, because its a pretty a stupid vague statement, that implies the election has multiple people calling it differently...or in other words is disputed.
I mean technically it was, but only in the sense that computers at that time were generally shared systems and the pitch was that a worker/user would have their own individual (personal) computer at their desk and wouldn't have to share resources with other users, and the IBM salespeople I talked to at the time loved to talk about this. The fact that multitasking personal systems weren't feasible at the time meant that a machine could be either multitasking/multiuser or personal. That distinction died alongside DOS though.

None of that really has much to do with what the above user said about their Linux system however.
As someone who had GBS and was put into a coma at 16. I'm very uneasy about the vaccine, but I also don't want COVID.
I'm likely going to end up taking the vaccine as soon as it's available and hoping GBS doesn't happen again, just so I can go back to my life ASAP. Depends on how the risk of GBS with the vaccine compares with the risk of GBS from COVID.

Myth of the Founder
The thing is that the lottery is not a truly random number generator. It's a physical process implemented by humans, subject to design flaws. So how can we detect whether or not the random number generator we've built has any flaws? By using sound Bayesian reasoning and experiment. If we run the process and it gives us the same number 100 times in a row in the first 100 results, we should adjust our priors and assume what we've built is not in fact a random number generator.
I have been curious how feasible it would be to mount this dish to a van (when stationary), and specifically what the power requirements would be. I don't know a whole lot about off-grid power setups but it seems like it should be fairly feasible at 100 watts, which is awesome!
This is a solved problem, for a few years now. The basic trick is to publish "pending" messages to the broker which are ACK'd by a later written message, only after the transaction and all it's effects have been committed to stable storage (somewhere). Meanwhile, you also capture consumption state (e.x. offsets) into the same database and transaction within which you're updating the materialization results of a streaming computation.

Here's [1] a nice blog post from the Kafka folks on how they approached it.

Gazette [2] (I'm the primary architect) also solves in with some different trade-offs: a "thicker" client, but with no head-of-line blocking and reduced end-to-end latency.

Estuary Flow [3], built on Gazette, leverages this to provide exactly-once, incremental map/reduce and materializations into arbitrary databases.

There is no better term for it and rasterization is a good term.

In rasterization, the raster plays a crucial role at every step of the process. The detection of overlapping objects happens at the raster level (Z-Buffer). The shading happens at the raster level. The raster is used to for texture derivatives.

By contrast, the result of a raytraced image may be a raster image, but the raster doesn't have to play a role during image synthesis, all the sampling can be done oblivious of an image raster. You could technically store samples without a raster grid and create images from those samples at various raster resolutions.

One big annoyance for me is that every song I play now shows up in my YouTube history. For me, watching videos on YT and listening to music are activities I do in two very different contexts, mixing them together in a list serves no purpose and makes it a lot more difficult to navigate.

And on mobile GPM had a very simple functionality: a playlist containing all the songs you've downloaded offline. To the best of my knowledge YTM has no such thing, just a playlist _it makes for you_ of offline songs.
I'd like to see the citation for that and an example of its application outside of a laboratory setting (if there is one.)
Reminds me strongly of Ted Chiang's "Understand"
There are taxi owner/operators, but since the owner cannot drive 24/7, and since the cost of a medallion is more than one can afford by working only 8 hours a day, most (all?) of them sublease their cars to several drivers in shifts. That way the car and medallion can be producing income around the clock. Those subcontracted drivers are not employees of the taxi company, they might be considered employees of the car/medallion owner but if they work for several different owners, maybe they are considered independent.

When Google Play started a "radio station" based on a song, the songs that came after were changed on each iteration based on your likes/dislikes. Maybe they just shuffled the same list each time, but it kept it feeling fresh. When you ask YouTube Music to play a song, the same set of songs will always come after. Not very good for similar song discovery.

I've thought about this a bit and came to the same conclusion. Most people who value self-growth are ultimately doing so as a means to achieve vain values. That is, the reason you want to continue growing is because you want to be better than others, or build wealth or status. You may trick your mind into thinking you genuinely enjoy self-improvement, but I've found that the moment to moment experience of self-improvement is often grueling and if you enjoy the process, it's most likely because of one of these vain values. The exception is if you happened to have parents who instilled self-growth as a primary value throughout your childhood -- then, it will actually feel like an end in of itself.

Ultimately, I think people will be better off choosing intrinsic values that are not conditional on external forces or comparison to others. That said, as long as you can achieve your values, however vain they may be, more power to you!

The assistant has gotten markedly worse at finding music since the home devices came out a few years ago. Songs I used to be able to find by describing vaguely it can now no longer find at all, and it gives me random indie artists for songs I actually know the title og unless I literally spell it out (and even then, it often fails). Woe be to you whose desired song only exists as a Youtube (but not Youtube Music) video. Something behind the scenes has changed, and it's just another reason never to trust Google to maintain their services.
Can anyone shed some light on this paragraph?

> The global supply chains, with their mega-scale engineering projects and infrastructures, exist primarily because global wealth inequality makes it cheap to have stuff made in certain countries — even when you have to ship it halfway across the globe to sell it for a profit. By leveraging stark gaps in wages and standards of living as efficiently as it can, the supply chain network is actively enforcing that global inequality.

I understand how wealth inequality is leveraged, and that it's in shipping companies financial interest to have highest margins, which doesn't really help the inequality. Still, it doesn't follow that they are actively enforcing inequality (they are after all flowing the capital toward poorer parts of world). If they are, which mechanisms are being used?
