Unless you can imagine yourself up a chair from nothing, it's not imaginary.

Nothing changed when we discovered microscopes and cells. One day your skin is a solid piece of material and a disease is the result of a bad smell. The next day both are made up of a zillion cells.

This is no different. So what if the macroscopic chair is made out of the interaction between a bunch of different forces? It changes nothing. Molecules, atoms, and sub-atomics were already imaginary, in that you can only deduce them from tool-assisted and indirect observations, not see or feel them directly. "this iron isn't solid, it's a mass of atoms." "oh ok". "oh hey the atoms are made out of these other sub-atomic things..." "oh ok". So now the sub-atomic things are really just forces. So what? Now suddenly at this next level of theory it's all unreal?

It wasn't already unreal? Or it's suddenly no longer behaving as real? Neither of those are true. It's no more or less real than yesterday, and it behaves no more or less real than yesterday.

What's imaginary is this attempt at a new distinction.
> None of your examples are headquartered in California, nor would any of these companies stop operating in the most populous state in the US with its largest economy were worker protections put in place.

The argument isn’t that they would stop operating, but that they would experience less growth or maybe even contraction from people or businesses moving away due to higher costs (and taxes).

> The hollowing out of the industrial core was a bipartisan decision made in the 1990s with full support of Democrats, so its a bit rich to say "if we don't let them treat people bad, they'll make it even worse than we already helped them make it." The same power that them globalize manufacturing can force its return to the U.S. Again, every other developed country with a strong industrial base engages in this kind of protectionism for strategic and national security reasons. Germany is again, here, a salient example.

I didn’t write “if we don't let them treat people bad, they'll make it even worse than we already helped them make it that.” My example was intended to show that capital does go to wherever it’s cheapest, whether it be labor costs, lack of environmental regulations, etc.

> You keep insisting this without providing evidence of its reality. What major worker protections have been advanced and put into law by Democrats since the Obama presidency?

The proof is that the Democratic states on the west and northeast coasts and Illinois have passed laws requiring mandatory sick days, family leave acts, higher minimum wages, better unemployment benefits, etc. (including since Obama, even though that’s irrelevant).

Just because Democrats in the federal legislature have to play a different game doesn’t mean the state level ones aren’t able to get anything done.

Lest we get off track, if you go back to the beginning of this discussion, my contention is that Democrats have done a better job enacting legislation to protect workers, especially lower income workers, than Republicans. The proof is all the states that have better worker protections, did it with Democrat legislatures. What happens on the federal level may or may not matter, but Democrats haven’t had solid control of Congress for a long time, and with the little control they did, they managed to pass ACA, which is still at least something for poorer people, especially workers, and which Republicans continue to fight.
Yeah, I was mistakenly comparing US downtown areas with Paris downtown areas. Mea culpa.

I do imagine that a high rise is going to be more dense than a Parisian 5-story. I understand that Parisian apartments are smaller and they aren't going to have parking or on-site greenspace like a US high rise, but I would be surprised if they are still less dense. Of course, that doesn't validate my original claim that Paris is sparser than US cities.
I interviewed at G and eventually matched with teams writing software for core networking functions. In that process, the discussion came out that the software was responsible for roughly 11% of traffic...for the entire Internet.
Why is it not realistic at night? And umbrellas have been around for a tad bit more than 4000 years by now. I walked or took public transport to school on my own since I was 7 until I graduated from university.
That’s the equivalent of a solider claiming they were just following orders.

The Doordash people don’t want to steal tips, but the law doesn’t punish them for doing so, and the people getting exploited are drinking lead water anyway.
I agree. Worth highlighting:

> ...if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date.

Google's response to this was not accepting of her terms, it was to force an end-date for her —immediately— and lock her out of their systems ASAP.
I can see how in a higher-level language it might make sense to use 1-based indices. this is, after all, how humans typically count. I just don't agree with it as a general statement over all programming languages. in low-level contexts where you are working directly with memory, it is quite natural for indices (or idx * element_size) to be equivalent to offsets.
I only want used clothes.

Not only is it better karmically, but new clothes are full of offgassing dyes and other synthchems, not great for a human's health.

Seems perfectly fine to me. Gifts are taxed in the US. If it causes resulting problems, deal with it then. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good.

I think it's highly unlikely it would have passed (or been brought to the floor) if there was a Democrat controlled Congress and a (D) President. This is political gaming, imo.

That's called being out of touch.
I think the "completely incurable" aspect of it is the scary part.

I'm not AS concerned about something like Ebola, because while being horrible, it's horribleness is self limiting because people die (relatively quickly) before they can spread it too far.

On the other hand, weaponized vCJD could have a population die off en masse years after they're infected. Since it can be transmitted via blood transfusions, it'd essentially shut down blood donations (although if everyone had it, I guess that wouldn't matter). Also just the fact that prion diseases can cause psychological symptoms make the implications different from something like a classical infectious disease.

I need to figure out where people buy jeans that last! I'm certainly hard on clothes, though jeans don't usually end up being part of cutting up trees and splitting firewood until after the knee holes form... but that still often happens within 2-3 years of purchase.

What's the secret?!
Unfortunately, I don't. It was all for a corporate gig, so the footage was theirs in the end. The link I had to the video is no longer active. They used it, and the got rid of it I guess.
Ok, put another way. What interest does Google have in re-hiring her? She left on a bad note and brought tremendous negative PR. The company isn't losing business over this as the treatment didn't rise to abuse or harassment. Her team will operate just fine - everyone is replaceable.

Apparently Google has varying degrees of transparency when it comes to decision making. To be expected at a large company. There are some things my company & boss do that seem abnormal and out of character. You have to go with the flow sometimes and shut up. It seems like this person had some kind of utopian mindset where she felt management was obligated to explain everything around the blocking of her paper.

I doubt a guy like Jeff who wants to do tech all day has a vendetta against black women that want to publish papers.

What a way to go.
I don’t know, many some more of the value of those assets could go to the workers who created the value.
In my country, the following information is available about each citizen, only a google search away:

Not searchable online, but an email away:

Interesting thing to me is recirculated air vs. contained air.

The vinyl sided tents aren't going to have recirculated air like indoors, but yes, the air is certainly not going to be flowing the way it would with no vinyl walls.

OC beach towns are as nice as they are unaffordable, lol. I love the restaurants there, though.
It's not a strawman insofar as there are people who literally say exactly that, and those are the people he's addressing. I agree there are more reasonable discussions to be had about how to distribute wealth for the greatest benefit to society but there are people who believe that if we just tax Jeff Bezos more then the Water Authority in Flint, MI will somehow become more competent.

I would say that the bad argument was arguing that someone deserved to be fired because they were "divisive" and "dogmatic" on twitter.

Correct, you need a page but not a wall/banner unless you need to seek consent for something.

Again, the law is not all lawyerspeak and it's fairly easy to find if you click my link to the law above. Article 14(3):

> The [website] shall provide the information referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2:

> (a) within a reasonable period after obtaining the personal data [...]

> (b) [...] at the time of the first communication to [the user] [...]

Where "the information referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2" is the basics: who you are, what you collect, for what purpose (marketing or so), retention period, what the user's rights are, and other things that may apply from the lists in those paragraphs.

The easiest way to fulfill this is, of course, a nice little link at the bottom with this info laid out for everyone.

This is also perfect if you're Google and your products, taken together, process basically every piece of data about a human going about their daily life. Then you basically say "we collect basically every piece of data that you supply or that we can otherwise get our hands on" and the user is not only none the wiser when they use only reCAPTCHA, but they now also agreed to the rest because that's all in one policy.

By and large I'm still happy that it has improvements over the previous law (most notably enforcement and uniformity between member states) even if there are things to be improved, but I digress. Point is: policy available to read when desired: yes; annoying pop-up banner: NEIN :)

> ...if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date.

To be fair it doesn't sound like her ultimatum was "I'll leave immediately"— that was forced on her by Google, and is an important detail.

Its not only about the speed but the power draw at those speeds.
I haven't played the game, but based on what I'm reading about it, there's a couple of confounding factors:

1. There are a lot of different game modes for CoD -- Cold War has eleven game modes. This means that the pool of players for each mode will be smaller, making fair matchmaking more difficult.

2. Some of those game modes have unusually large teams -- two of the signature game modes in Cold War have ten or more players to a team. This makes it more difficult for a matchmaking algorithm to fairly assess any individual player's contribution to their team's win/loss. It also makes it more likely that one or more teams will contain a player whose skill has been poorly assessed, meaning that their team has an unfair advantage or disadvantage.

As a non-good player, my main complaint with SBMM is that EVERY round feels like a sweatfest. I much preferred the "sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you" experience of other games.

"An object with intrinsic value may be regarded as an end, or in Kantian terminology, as an end-in-itself."

"In philosophy and ethics, an end, or telos, is the ultimate goal in a series of steps. For example, according to Aristotle the end of everything we do is happiness. It is contrasted to a means, which is something that helps you achieve that goal. For example, money or power may be said to be a means to the end of happiness."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_value_%28ethics%29

Fiat currency and bitcoin, and to some extent gold, are not an end-in-themselves but just a means to acquire something which is actually useful to you. They are not in and of themselves useful to anybody.

If "Janik's black box" actually does exist, it would be among the deepest darkest secrets in the entire government. It would only be pulled out and used in extreme cases for fear of accidentally revealing evidence of its existence by breaking a code that one should not be able to break (similar to how the allies in WWII let the Germans sink a few ships rather than reveal that they could break German codes).
Software development being so opinion based is really irksome if you ask me. Code reviews often boil down to battles over opinions, people get caught up in bikeshedding a lot, and "famous" developers on Twitter can see their opinions practically become standards. I've also had managers consider things like TDD as absolute gospel.

One of my favorite tools in the JS world is Prettier, mostly because it reduces the opinion surface. I want more tools and practices like that.

Well, Exynos SoCs are widely panned as garbage. People in Europe regularly import HK versions of phones to get the Qualcomm version.

Second, my understanding is they don't have CDMA support, which is still relevant in the US. So they either use Snapdragons, or pay Qualcomm for the patents and then go make a new SoC. I guess it's easier to just pay Qualcomm for the Snapdragons.
the OP is referencing a line from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

We have a couple places in Portland that setup individual dining tents for just one table. Those were included in the shutdown of indoor dining, even though it seems to me that could be done fairly safely. It's a shame for those restaurants that put the time and money in to do everything possible and they still have to shut down.
Idk about U.S. but in my country the government (or any of its subsidiaries) cannot officially contact you via e-mail. It’s either by mail or in-person.

That's Reddit's fault, though. They don't include ads when a user uses the API.
Totally agree but you are not a politician up for re-election in AZ/PA/MI or some purplish state. Suddenly you get rid of jobs that does not look good in these areas especially if you are a state level politician.

The same would happen if we get rid of commercial insurance companies which I'm also in favor of. All those admin staff, drug sales, insurance coders would be out of work and politicians would have to explain what happened.
> Gebru is a successful "scholar" as far as the credentials game goes; I don't presume to have anything to teach her.

Again: back up your assertions or they are worthless. I'm reading her papers and have also read many of the authors you are mentioning, there is very little in common.

> Are we sure calling something "common-sense ethics" is a common-sense proposition? Are we comfortable deriving this Ought from that Is?

So your critique now is that her papers are steeped in a moral realist perspective? It seemed you were going for the dogwhistle-y "diversity hire" rhetoric, but I'd welcome any actual critique on the merits.
Yeah, that parenthetical was an absent-minded mistake on my part. I added an 'EDIT' to my original post.
Right, I was just responding to the question, whose posing is often used to suggest that the US is the best of all possible resource allocation worlds. I don't want to live under a regime like the CCP, but we did just run this experiment and the U.S. system of resource allocation failed miserably.

In France it's not allowed. However what they can do for public transportation, to ensure "minimum service", is to make non drivers employees (like management for example) drive the train.

> Unlike Apple customers, the rest of the population is sensitive to performance and cost. If Google can't compete people move on.

This is an odd phrasing: Apple's pricing isn't higher than the competition — flagship Android phones frequently cost noticeably more — and when it comes to performance it's very hard to beat the $400 iPhone SE2 at any price.

Vertical integration is what allows Apple to be ahead on both price and performance. The only way Google is matching that is with a strong long-term commitment to make similar investments. Apple will falter at some point but after years of ignoring the basics Google won't be able to take advantage of that — especially since at this point they're chasing Apple's previous generation so it'd take an extended sag for Google to catch up much less surpass with their current half-hearted strategy.

You're essentially saying "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". This is very easy to do if you've experienced a middle or upper middle class upbringing.

This is almost impossible to do if you were raised in a household of abuse or food scarcity, or where your network doesn't contain any well educated individuals. Basically it works for...middle class people.

In short: trickle down economics is being pissed on and calling it rain, and "just work harder" blames people for their station and expects them to be extraordinary just to have a reasonable life. It's essentially blaming the poor, the easiest way out possible, with nice gloss on top, and it's total and utter bullshit that papers over the systemic forces acting against all workers - let alone those just scraping by.
Hashcat is a SIMD-vectorized program.

I'd expect the M1 to be terrible at it: with 128-bit vectors and only 4-big cores.

------

AMD has 256-bit vectors and 8-cores or 16-cores. Intel has fewer cores (10-cores or so) but 512-bit vectors on workstation processors. Consumer Intel (Laptops or Desktops) are usually only 256-bits per core, but that's still doubling up over M1.

Finally, GPUs are 32-wide x 32-bits aka 1024-bit (NVidia or AMD NAVI), or 64-wide x 32-bits aka 2048-bit (AMD GCN), and you can see why GPUs do so well on a massively-parallel program like Hashcat. Those 1024-bit or 2048-bit compute units are arranged 4x per Compute Unit / Workgroup Processor (AMD) or 2x per SM (NVidia), and then they offer 60, 70, 80, 100+ Compute Units / SMs per GPU (depending on chip specific details)

So the goal is to make this a more generic computer model to avoid the cost of wind-tunnel testing using a fluid dynamics model. I don’t know from the article if any of this has actually unveiled anything - sounds like the goal of the work, which is progressing Ok.
