> She posted it to her 170 twitter followers, stupid sure, but how was she to know someone would pass it on to a journalist with hundreds of thousands of followers who would then spread it and complain to her employer?

Because her job title was "Senior Director of Corporate Communication" at a PR firm. Her job was to anticipate how people might react to her, and to use that skill to show her clients in the best light.

It's not too much of a stretch for any of us to think "would I get fired if my manager saw this tweet in a bad light?" and then NOT TWEET if you thought "yes". There's only so much you can blame ThE mOB for.

This was the realization that finally tipped me over into getting off Facebook.

I realized that every time I was posting pictures of my life to share with my friends, I was providing the bait that drew them in and forced them to watch ads and other drivel.
Cory Doctorow is a sci-fi author and has written cyberpunk fiction, calling corporate empires "warlords" seems par for the genre. Scott Galloway has called GAFA "the four horseman" and Bruce Sterling calls them "the Stacks."

Currently considering only in-person opportunities (1), with covid precautions as is reasonable. I genuinely love learning. I think there's no better way to learn a new stack than jump in and try to fix a bug or add a feature.

I've read that putting an LED strip (or other light source, I guess) behind a monitor reduces eye strain. Can't speak to its veracity, but it would at least reduce glare!
The US has a high bar for defamation/slander because the 1st amendment. Also musk could higher decent lawyers.

Even then he still was sued, the case was not tossed for lack of standing or merit. The judge still thought there was a case worth arguing.
The diagnosis is correct, but the prescription is lacking. His technical idea is fine, but this is a political issue that cannot be solved by technical means alone.

If any 'warlord' implemented Doctorow's idea, they'd just weaken themselves. Eventually the legal and financial incentives will ensure the 'warlord' returns to form or is replaced. There's no replacement for a political pressure campaign to make digital neofeudalism obsolete by changing the relevant laws.
If I already knew what who meant? What is your arguement?
Lockdown is a terrible word for the measures taken in the US too. The most consequential orders were business closures and there was little or no enforcement of orders directed at individuals.
Solution: two beds. A work bed and a sleep bed.
I'm not convinced either way, but posting because this is an articulate well written non-sensational discussion of the idea.

If it is true, it was almost certainly an accident. Nobody really benefited from this (even if China really has eradicated it, it's damaged their export-heavy economy badly), and if it was terrorists they would have claimed responsibility since that's the point of terrorism. Biological warfare is dumb anyway. It's like trying to use a grenade as a handgun. Yes it does damage the enemy, but...
It's cost prohibitive for a small group to pull this off unless they are financed by a large criminal org. You're talking about a small company's worth of people to design the software, QA it, stand up and monitor the infrastructure, perform the follow on exploitation, manage the shells, parse discovered data from hundreds of targets, etc. That's probably millions of dollars in salary alone.

The attack pattern also makes no sense for a criminal organization with this level of access. Why wouldn't you go after resources you could trivially monetize or data you would want to know about like customer data, IP, financial resources, law enforcement, etc? Reading government emails seems like a waste of time unless you are trying to resell the intelligence to interested parties. Going after FireEye red team tools seems like a very high risk waste of time.

Lastly, you're taking on American intelligence with above the wire capabilities. You're telling me a group of this size has the opsec capabilities to evade the NSA? No one made a mistake?
Appreciate that re floppy disks specifically, I believe I did take it as intended, I was reacting to just sharing dumb directories - however they're pushed about - more than anything. I use git for things I work on alone, I find the ability to branch and stash etc. a net productivity improvement, not something that hampers me; add in collaborating with even one other person and I wouldn't even consider not using it, I'd honestly decline a job offer (well, everything has its price I suppose..!) over it, there's no way that's not a nightmare.
This is fantastic! Thanks.
It's rather unfortunate that any rational counter-argument to unionization is automatically termed rhetoric or propaganda with the implication that it has no validity.

Your post contains many errors.

1) The "Petroyuan"... Should this ever happen, Oil will be priced in Yuan.
https://eurasiantimes.com/petro-dollar-vs-petro-yuan-is-chin...

2) this is NOT the reason china exports. They do this as they have a large labour advantage, very lax pollution laws and can make things for far cheaper then others can. You can determne this for yourself once you realize that China doesnt only export to the USA. When China exports to the EU for example they earn Euro notes. They can convert Euro's to USD if needed, but i dont think their primary goal is to accumulate USD, espeically given their massive USD Bond holdings. If anything, they are probably looking to sell USD bonds to diversify.

3) removing the US as a reserve curency wont just make americans "poorer" - it will have a devistating impact on your ability to borrow. Since the US gvt constantly runs a deficit who will finance this when other nations no longer want/need USD?

4) The US needs to import because as the article stated, they no longer manufacture things. Try going to a city like "bridgeport, Connecticut" and see the mothballed factories. It will take decades to undue the damage outsourcing has caused.
Our local school is providing lunch tomorrow, although didn’t come out until after 10pm. However they are only taking key worker kids if both parents are key workers - unlike last time. We are, but a lot of unhappy parents on whatsapp tonight.

It’s not as simple as “schools are closed”.
The best part is the funnel at the front, presumably for emotional support.

Are you building a complicated technical product that is difficult to explain to customers?

Are you reaching the stage where it’s becoming necessary to think more strategically about market and positioning?

Do you want to catch the attention of your industry and build an iconic and reputable brand?

Maybe I can help.

I’m a former programmer, VC analyst and startup founder with an CS degree who now advises startups on product marketing. I combine technical and market expertise with skill in writing and social media. I can help figure out the essentials of what your product is doing and for whom, and figure out how best to get that message out there.

I specialize in:
- startups expanding, and needing to redefine who they are
- developer marketing and finding influential power-users
- writing stand-out copy that succinctly expresses a technical idea
- startups just discovering p/m fit and wanting to quickly respond to it

Often I can help solve your problem with less than 2 weeks of consulting and research. I can make a content plan or guidelines or work with an existing team.

I like this very much. I could imagine an information marketplace around this with derivatives (specifically shorting stuff) being quite interesting. I imagine that's what betting markets aim to be.

Of course the freedom loving part of me doesn't want it to be a tax but a platform of its own.

I am not a big fan of LEDs in computers as I do not look at my computer (I already have 8 million individually addressable lights connected to my computer), but it seems that RGB can't be avoided these days. It adds pretty much no BOM cost and people like it, so there's probably nothing that can be done.

But! You can use OpenRGB to turn off the lights, so this article still may be relevant for you :)
So you're saying that privacy (Apple knows what apps you're running and when) and autonomy (Apple controlling which apps you may run) are less important than the improvements which Apple has made to its OS over competitors?

This is totally fine. But there's where the friction between the two viewpoints is.
I think there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and color depth. Dithering reduces the former to simulate increasing the latter.

Perhaps we can get a similar result by interpreting the original signal (after linearization) in a different way. It could represent (after normalization) the probability each pixel would be 1 or 0. That way, brighter areas would have more density of bright pixels, and darker areas would have more density of dark pixels.
Germany has 2 advantages:
1) A deliberate political aim to maintain a manufacturing base, prosecuted over decades; and
2) A currency which is deliberately kept cheap by use of ballast (the PIGS - Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) - countries whose currencies would, on their own be considerably cheaper than the amalgamated Euro.

The US could, if it wanted to have both of these advantages, which is why I'm pretty bullish on the potential for the US manufacturing future, if not on the reality:

1) is political and requires expensive action that is broadly not favored by either party - protectionism, boosterism, technical training, PPPs. Concerted effort at Federal and State levels. We do it for Defense but not for other sectors.

2) would look reasonably achievable but somehow the Fed has missed its inflationary targets for the few years, so I'm a little skeptical about the chances. Also if you look at the dollar's relative price over the last 30 years it broadly approximates a sine wave that we're on the upwards slope of (past performance yada yada etc)
Regarding your comment about how the entire ruling centers on this one point, would this mean all the US would have to do to get it overturned is pinky promise they won't throw Assange in solitary? What if they then put him in solitary anyway?
holy, what industry?

Having your freedom restricted for years is not "severe psychological distress"?

Have to disagree there.
Click "View example" and 1, 2, and 3 will go away.
Oh, they should understand technical constraints on an appropriate level! I just think that technical debt should not be part of that, just as a lawyer spares you most of the constraints they experience.

I like your second sentence though! If explaining technical debt helps with the "us" culture, it should be done.

It's just that, from my experience, it usually does the opposite. And I mentioned the reasons: it is too difficult to explain and to understand, even for developers. Also, the most important aspects/impacts will almost never be measured - not talking about development speed here (which is already too difficult to measure), but motivation, attrition, broken window behavior and so on.

A better way to create an "us" culture as a developer is to make sure to be involved into product decisions from the very beginning, including contributing ideas. And being hold to the except same KPIs/OKRs as other departments. That also means, as a developer you need to have the discipline to heavily sacrifice code quality and create technical debt sometimes and you might have to push this against other developers. That is the price to pay.
This isn't just about libel and defamation of individuals. This is also about degradation of society as a whole. Today half the population gets their news from social media, and it is full of conspiracy theories. This is a major, major issue, and is leading to societal decay. Something needs to be done.
Any of the common books should be fine depending on the style you like, then I'd just start building things with it, especially with some of the popular libraries you'll run into new stuff often
I was under the impression the argument against OSS from MS was not due to software security, but due to protecting IP.
I believe it uses sleep, and either threads or events / interrupts. I don't remember which. It's programmed in micropython.

It calculates medians for each minute, and from those a 5-minute median (which is only considered valid if a majority of values are present) to filter out things like opening doors and missing values. Temperature readings are transported wirelessly from a different room. It supports multiple temperature clients for multiple rooms, each with a preset minimum (heat cycle activating) temperature, and also a maximum (safety-shutoff => don't activate heating) temperature.
The nurse that gave the interview apparently lied. So... fake news or conspiracy theory.

So by not mentioning something in patent claims this nonetheless would have patented it?
See: Republicans and the election. Trump's call basically was precisely this. We heard claims, claims on the internet. No not social media but "Trump media" so there are golden. The best claims ever.

And those claims, not the substance of them but the fact that the claims exist, are the basis of disputing the election now.

To drive this point home, they now want panels to investigate "what happened" despite the claims already being tested in court. The substance doesn't matter, it never mattered. Sowing doubt and mistrust of the process was always the purpose.
You asked why he didn't give a 'basic summary of what the new rules'. The rules are stay home unless you reasonably cannot do so. That's what he said. He didn't give a prescriptive set of rules because we live in a common law society. What else do you want?

Stay home. Unless you reasonably cannot reasonably do so.

If you have no common sense and aren't sure what is reasonable then you can argue it with a magistrate.

Maybe err on the side of caution if you aren't sure?

I think the problem with what F* is doing is that it’s so foreign to most people that they don’t actually understand it.

Typescript cannot do what you’re saying at compile time. F* knows _at compile time_ whether or not a value is within a range, and you can get a compiler error _without executing the program_.
Why? They paid for a service and received it.

If your ISP decides to pull out of your area and sends you a notice that your account will be closed at the end of the month, would you expect to be reimbursed for the years of service you paid for?

IP laws are bad because they have been taken past any sane limit. However the original terms would are not too onerous, with provisions and updates there is no reason not to give the people who invent things short and clear monopolies on their ideas.

15 years is plenty of time, then everything needs to be released into the public domain.

This is good advice. It seems like many people get stuck in a rut of thinking they need to study, study, study before they will be productive. That's backwards. Start building things right away; you'll immediately perceive what you need to understand next, and why.
Any manager at Google who wrote and distributed what Timnit did about diversity efforts (that they're pointless and should be stopped) would be fired on the spot. Every manager at Google knows this.
Agreed. The k ly thing I would say is that extradition from the UK to the US is almost always granted, so even a delay and appeal is a better result than expected...
> does it really matter if you are good at leetcode if they feel you won't stay around long?

Yes. Hard technical skills are even more important in that situation.
My example is based in real life, we hired a engineer from facebook and they matched his comp, which me and a few co-workers found out was 2.5x what we made. This person did the same job as us and contributed nothing out of the ordinary, he was also the same level as us which really stung. Stuff like this is rampant across tech and having secret pay bands and not upping your pay for existing hires(to match market) as its too high of an increase per corporate(also another real life example) just sucks. Especially when the CEO's net worth goes up 5x in the few years at the company.

Nice! If only that supported Corsair hardware (issue exists, not yet implemented) it'd solve an actual problem I have - years ago I configured my mouse buttons with some game-specific keycodes using the Windows software so I could throw fragmentation grenades and knife people more easily; years later on Linux I keep inadvertently typing 'f' like a seasoned Redditor.

I am genuinely interested in understanding how we could have innovation in a world where a creator is not entitled to benefits from their invention. Including any monetary benefits if they so choose.
I've been doing that for years. I have created custom microcoded CPU's in FPGA's for tasks where it would provide an advantage. One example I remember was a microcoded real time image warping engine.
However, the state-sponsored gain-of-function research towards particular properties is not an accident.

I don't have a problem with other people using them, but it's started this strange trend where everything has LEDs on it, and some stuff (mainly fans) makes it difficult to disable. My case came with four pre-installed fans, which was great until they turned on and blinded me with blazing blue light. And since my motherboard only has one 4-pin PWM port, I couldn't control the LEDs independent of the fans. They were either at full brightness at all times, or fluctuated based on the fan speed.

I ended up cutting the LED leads on all the fans. It wouldn't have been an issue in the first place if LED/RGB stuff was an optional add-on instead of the default.
