I experienced some of their meeting monitoring stuff several years ago on a visit to Microsoft Labs. I noticed the meeting score stuff and made a joke about how the meeting room was watching us. One of the MS people responded with "Yes, it is." And then they showed us the "telemetry" the room was taking.. IDing us with facial recognition, guessing at our moods, etc. I definitely felt uncomfortable for the rest of the meeting.
readme and (Supported podcasts) is confusing. Makes one think it only supports downloading six hard coded podcasts. I assume that is not correct?

"A survey conducted by Forrester Research earlier this month showed that Microsoft has already become the country’s second-biggest cloud services provider, with its Office 365 and Azure platforms."

Looks like the subscription model did the trick.
To everyone here feeling bad about their southern accents, I'm just gonna say this: as an immigrant, I LOVE those accents. I wish I could just adopt one, but that would sound fake as hell, unfortunately. So I'm putting my accent reduction efforts into sounding more like someone from the West Coast, which I understand to be fairly neutral.

The southern accent thing is very relatable to me, as in my own country (Brazil) I have a very distinct southern accent too (I grew up in a rural area like many folks here).
I wonder if the processor (which was the hotspot) couldn't be moved from the rest of the camera though.
I spent six months working at a FAANG in the bay area after 20 years of living a rural lifestyle in the midwest. I lived in Mountain View and really tried to soak in the difference...I didn't even bother to get a vehicle. That proclamation alone will be cringy for some of you, but it's unthinkable where I live now and where I'd lived every day prior.

At first I felt that I was seeing an environment that is truly 'the future' of integrated multi-culturalism. I just marveled at the fact that on my walk to the store, maybe half of the conversations I overheard were in English. Authentic food and art and music from all over the planet was so accessible, likewise my team was from all over the planet and it was really cool.

Then I realized that I didn't really see any black folks. Anywhere. I mean infosec has a lot of work to do with diversity to be sure, so I wasn't particularly surprised that there was just one black guy on the team. But then I started looking on my way to and from work, at the store, at restaurants, etc. Nada. Then I started getting creeped out, and that one blind spot really started uncovering quite a few more, particularly around the assumptions I was hearing folks make about people that I had direct experience with. This created a Truman Show-esque unraveling and after a while I decided that the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I got somehow disgusted with the place, quit and moved back home.

It's not better here, but at least it's not pretending to be. I'm starting to look at relocating again, but it's not going to be to the west coast. I really hate generalizing and to be clear, there are some amazing folks out there that aren't part of the echo chamber, and the access to a broad cultural base not to mention the weather/natural setting is beyond compare IMHO. But it's just too volatile at the moment and I'm not in a position where it makes sense to basically 'start over' financially for a location that, for the most part, is just overwhelmed with its own pious fantasy.
Hmm, donate to the homeless, or Apple?
If you want to connect with your dreams, try this technique:

Ask to not be disturbed.

Go to sleep.

Sleep until you wake up.

Stay laying down until you fall asleep again.

Your sleep will now be shallow, and it will be easy to drift in and out, and retain a half-conscious state for extended periods.

No disagreement here, but that has nothing to do with putting myself in the snake's metaphorical shoes. The comment I was replying to implied that since I don't automate the flipping of the switches, I risked her health or well-being because of the risk of not doing it manually for some reason. I wanted to reassure him that she's still perfectly safe and that the temperature in her tank (which is the reason for these bulbs. Ball pythons don't need specific types of light to be healthy) would remain constant even if I die and can't flip the switches. So, there's minimal risk to her health and it still is a strong enough motivator that I haven't missed a single morning in the 8 months I've had her. That's all I was saying.

If people in US can be misled by fake news, India stood little chance. Facebook and WhatsApp have been used effectively to brainwash the general public in India.

What is the buying power equivalent of however many yen $70k USD is? Is that enough to have an acceptable lifestyle? I understand that the Japanese housing market is drastically different from the US, such that rent is a much lower proportion of one's total income in Japan than is typical in the US. Does that translate into $70k being a good salary, relatively speaking, in Japan?

That's not true, and I'm not even an originalist at all. Their point is that you stick to the letter of the law (the constitution) rather than trying to bend it around current social norms and sensibilities. I've never met an originalist who thinks black people are "3/5" of a person. They will cite the 13th and 14th amendments if you do. Clearly they would feel that the Constitution shouldn't be changed ever if they felt the way you say they feel. They think if you want to change the Constitution (or laws in general) that you should pass a new law or amend the Constitution to fit the situation, not sidestep it with a liberal judge who thinks it should be interpreted through the lens of society or even social justice.
In addition to what most other people said here about how to improve communication in a team, I'd say that if you do want to learn some programming and how to think like a computer scientist, you can't go wrong with the MIT's Computational Thinking using Python series on edX.

Yep, that makes sense. IIRC, they also have some sort of global deduplication system, don't they? That also implies they have access to your unencrypted files.

Edit: That's what I get for commenting before reading the paper. They literally mention deduplication in there.
> Deflation is also a very very bad thing economically

Why? I'd be interested in reading more if you have sources. Genuinely asking, I know almost nothing about deflation other than what I just read on Wikipedia [1]. My generation has had to grapple with the negative effects of inflation combined with low interest rates and wage stagnation, so I'm genuinely curious to hear about a different time/place where long-term deflation caused problems.

It seems like yo do enjoy your lifestyle, but man, sleeping more than 8 hours, even when sick, seems impossible for me.

I do have some kind of FOMO, not really about being hyper productive but to be conscious, I could consider a perfectly well spent day even if I just lazed in bed, but i would need to be able to even think about stuff, watch the ceiling or just feel the sheets on my hands.

With how little time I have on this planet and all the possible experiences, I would definitely do without sleeping if I could.
I'll stick to my own grown non-GMO organic food thank you.
Yes, we are talking about that Apple which integrated soft fuses that can be triggered remotely, and will brick your device physically.

We are talking about that Apple which sued a recycling vendor in Canada because they recycled devices instead of trashing them.

We are talking about that Apple which bribed judges in the US to deny its endusers the right to repair.

We are talking about that Apple which removed even the audio port of a device to prevent its competition to breakout of the locked hardware with their "upgrades" like better cameras, or even payment systems that wont be supported by Apple.

We are talking about that Apple which even changed their goddamn shell from the BSD fork because they didnt want to "open source" (Apple thinks this is zip file dumping) their own bash, which was the only reason bash was outdated for decades.

Yes, we are talking about that Apple.

Once anything is a competition, it will be extinguished by Apple. They only care about profits, and nothing else.

-I speak English (my third language) with a marked Aberdinian accent - despite never having lived there; this is courtesy of the kids next door when I was a child - their family had moved from Aberdeen to rural Norway, and if I wanted to play with them, I had better learn how to speak English. (And for a couple of years, said kids were the only teachers around...)

I have tried to lose the accent, but I still get asked by Aberdeen locals how long I've lived there whenever I visit for work.

Good thing the kids next door were from Aberdeen and not the Outer Hebrides, methinks. :)
Sure, but that depends on a browser (something that I really dislike). I was thinking more about building something completely from scratch (near zero dependencies) and low footprint (maybe a tiny 3D C engine).

Our child is slowly getting the hang of telling the time, and understanding what hours/minutes mean so I've ordered a wall-clock for him so he can see the time in his bedroom.

By coincidence I bought myself a new automatic watch, an old/"vintage" Soviet piece by Vostok. I collect mechanical watches and I'm looking forward to the time when I can buy the child his first watch - no doubt a casio/swatch or similar. No point buying a mechanical watch for a child.

Nothing else that I can think about. I tend to average a new desktop PC every 3-5 years, but apart from random electronic components for making things myself I don't tend to buy too much "technical stuff".
What on earth are you talking about? The parent comment is not underestimating Mesoamerica, the parent comment is underestimating the rate at which people eat random plants.
It was challenging, but at some point I realized that if I didn't prioritize my health and sustainability of my existence, no one else would do it for me.

Somewhat not consistent though. But I don't know if that is the fault of the application or Windows.
This article assumes a ton of prior context for sure, and it does make conclusions, I'll say it's very nuanced and actually gives an acceptable and agreeable summary of why India is the way it is due to everything happening in the past half century. If that's the goal of the article then there's definitely going to be much that has to be glossed over. It's also actually very well balanced (as much as any opinion piece can try to be) in its criticisms on both sides of the political spectrum.

Anyone who's spent some time knowing about Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh can walk away from this article with more context on what role they might have played in Indian history.

The same can be said about many articles in Bloomberg about American politics, but I suppose everyone's assumed to be fully versed in the EC system in the states since US is the place to be or whatever. Perhaps the best course of action is for Bloomberg to produce articles like that about everywhere and let the interested parties look up bg info elsewhwee. Otherwise every article about India has to then do Emergency in 70s 101 which sounds pathetic.
I'm (the "snarky" comment) a man of the left who has been appalled by the use of free speech suppression tactics over the last few years by my supposed political fellow travellers to intimidate those on the right, and like many others have persistently and continuously challenged them in defence of those I sometimes disagree fundamentally with.

So yes, they are principles deeply held and I'm not about to take any implications (intended or not) from your original comment they are not.

Here's a fact-check for you.

Counting hasn't finished, and many races are within a margin of a few percent, so why concede? They're still finding ballots today, almost a month after the election.

My family is originally from Detroit. The posts in this thread don't reflect reality.

A good duplex for sale in Detroit is around $20,000 now.

If it's recently empty, it's $5,000 plus back taxes.

If it's been empty for more than a couple weeks, it has already been stripped and burned once or twice and the lot has little value, plus back taxes.

The policy of the Detroit Fire Department to avoid injuries is to allow houses to burn to the ground, then bulldoze them.

The problem with living in most of Detroit is that as soon aa you leave the house to go to work or shopping, your neighbors will see you leave and attempt to break into your house. Fences, razor wire and padlocks help, but in the end it's a losing battle.

Toledo, Ohio is in worse shape than Detroit. When I was there 40 years ago, it was literally a moonscape - just house foundations visible for miles. Not sure if they rebuilt it or not.
Thank you for encouragement.

The only safe assumptions about encryption of your data in the cloud is that 1) its not encrypted, or 2) it is encrypted but at some unknown time in the future there will be a security compromising bug, and the data will be in the wild. But you won't know its in the wild, because the service provider doesn't know about the bug, or it isn't in their interest to tell you.
I've always found Cryptomator or encfs to be great solutions for this.

This is a problem in all cultures where proscriptivist philosophies have enough currency that people will actively oppose general purpose freedom. Democracy requires a willingness to tolerate differences of opinion and behavior.
I dropped ~$1000 of my last savings into options earlier this year because "DIS is going to print." Actually, it's because I was unemployed and staring down the barrel of a rent payment that that money would not be able to cover. I figure I lose the money and not make rent, just as if I'd done nothing, or it makes the money back and then some, and I'm able to cover another month. If I'd sold about a week into holding, I'd have made ~50%. Then our Fed Chairman made the totally sane and not completely unprecedented decision to pump $2 trillion dollars into the economy. The underlying stock shot up and my options values evaporated overnight, amidst the issuing corporation announcing that all of its revenue streams would be effectively dead for the foreseeable future.

Just sensible market behavior.
Grew up rich? I don't think that's accurate. I know a lot of Musk-hating articles have been played up, particularly on socialist Twitter circles, alleging that Musk inherited family wealth from an emerald mine. But this is simply not true. The emerald mine story is dubious and vague, and it's only real mention is from Ashlee Vance's book on Musk, and her source is Elon's father. Elon and his mother fled an allegedly abusive relationship with the father, and had nothing in terms of wealth. It's why Elon had to work odd jobs after moving (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/03/odd-jobs-elon-musk-had-when-...).

Tokyo real estate prices have been pretty much flat for the last two decades despite population growing 50%. That’s not an accident. They work hard to make it affordable for people to move there, just like in the UK they work hard on ensuring house prices and rents go up. Governments get the housing market they want to get, based on the priorities they have.
I wonder if it's the captivity or the absence of normal family structure. We see gang activity among human populations that while not in captivity, have poor or broken family structure.

If Qualcomm and other ARM chip designers haven't been able to keep up to pace while the last 8 years of iPhone CPUs have been near the top of their game, I don't see that changing anytime soon, unless they hire the right people to be in charge and even still, chips like Apple's A series are hand laid out and very, very time consuming to create. They have the ability to use a scanning electron microscope to look at the design, but even if you can start to reproduce their design (very time consuming) you're taking away resources from designing other processors.

I asked a friend who used to work in chip design at IBM and was blown away by the design of the M1. according to my friend, the design is extremely custom and most likely hand laid out for their specific optimizations. Also they were stumped by how apple could be getting consistent timings between cores when the design isn't totally symmetric for a particular cluster.
You do need to know what you're doing, meet quality standards, and do things in a way that fits existing architecture (unless you have a really good reason to revamp something). It's not beginner-friendly for sure, but I can tell you the vast majority of non-upstreamed vendor code is not upstreamed because it's terrible (which is also bad for users: things like blatant security problems are much more common in forks than upstream).
I’d argue that the DPRK would claim the top spot. The US is definitely up there, though.
BBR, IIUC, fatally relies on round-trip time to probe the channel, which hardly ever works. Google probably can arrange to make it work between their data centers, but that doesn't help anybody else.

This article hit too close to home for me, as an Indian struggling to decide which country to settle down in. Only difference is, I'm also losing hope in the US and pretty much every other country.

One thing is clear - the future is not like the past few decades, it's no more an option for conscienable individuals to stay on the sideline and watch the world burn down while flying around drinking mimosas; either we are part of the problem or part of the solution, the question in front of me and many like me is where my societal contribution and self preservation instincts can coexist and be of the most use to everyone.

This article, in the age where a chat app eats gigabytes of RAM, is almost insulting.

And it's not like it's nothing because we have terabytes of RAM now. A 2020 laptop I'm eyeing only comes in 8GB/16GB soldered RAM config; and the 16GB version has been sold out since the release. Which is not surprising, since the browser alone easily needs 8GB in a medium-heavy session.

It’s not really intended as a defense against being owned per se, it’s more about knowing what’s going on and getting an additional signal about the risk profile (not just from maliciousness) of the thing I’m about to run.

That said, I generally pipe to file and cat the file, yes, if only because it somehow feels wrong to download it twice.
I’m pretty sure that despite the fact that statistical models are used in credit scores, those models are subject to regulatory review. For example, I’m pretty sure a “black, therefore, no loan” algorithm is illegal, regardless of whether that parameter was learned or programmed. It’s a huge problem in some of these models that latent racism can bubble up into a putatively unbiased algorithm. In some industries, including finance, I think that can expose to some regulatory risk, hence explainability being quite helpful.
