If you're referring to Musk's deception of shareholders, he sent a tweet in Aug 2018 [0] saying that he was going to take Tesla private at $420 per share, which led to a fine from the SEC and some other civil lawsuits.

You're joking, but I don't think I will be running Windows without uwfmgr.exe aka Unified Write Filter if I ever decide to use it as my main OS again. More people should be aware of it. It's only for Enterprise editions, but maybe there are similar options out there.

> Is it possible to get my sequence from one of the commercial groups doing this, and then "look it up" in a genome reference to verify my brown eyes, for example?

Yes and no.

Brown eyes aren't controlled by a single gene, so it's not straightforward to look this up from your genome profile.

What genome profiling companies will do is assay a finite number of specific locations on your DNA (SNPs), to get good comparison points with other people, and then predict what colour your eyes are based on which SNPs are significant for eye colour.

It's not guaranteed to be right, then - nor is it guaranteed that the significant SNPs are linked to relevant genes.
I only believe in truths from my government or approved media sources. And I try to think as less as possível so I don't get too tired while doing the 9-5.
Working conditions should be regulated reasonably at a societal level. This already exists in practice via OSHA and minimum wage regulations. Advocate for improved worker conditions via legislature, although be aware of the market counter-reaction of making certain jobs more expensive than they are worth.

Industry-wide unions can work, they are widely used in Europe, but they essentially act as barriers to progress and create arbitrary barriers to entry.
but where do you draw the line? Does a search engine count?
The best intent I can think of is showing 1) team sizes, and/or 2) potentially-recognizable faces that a recruiter might interpret as "oh, s/he worked with someone I know is good at X".

But both are likely wishful thinking: I'm sure it's just a list of faces of other users who've put that company/product on their own CV on that particular site, which 1) is an incomplete and unverified potential-subset of people (and therefore not a good representation of team sizes), and 2) hugely unlikely for it to ever be relevant to a recruiter (because how likely is it for your audience to recognize effectively-random faces?).

But yeah, could just as well be people they managed, or people from that company, or people who endorsed them for their specific work in that role, etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Right, so you should just let corporations keep fucking you then. That sounds like a great plan.
The need to state "no microchip" is a strong signal of the potency of anti-scientism. If you had told me back in 1980 significant numbers of people in 2021 would believe chip implants hidden in vaccines were a thing i would have scoffed.

Yeah. I'm rather pleased with how well the US system held up to Trump. It wasn't perfect, and there has been damage, but overall the checks and balances did their job.

Tell People Something New
I travel in to work sometimes from teir 3 to teir 4, but I was teir 2 last week. Am I still allowed to do that? I tend to go in to make sure things keep working for people at home. Is that OK? Only I have three people straight on to Teams asking if they should go in tomorrow. All have things to do that are hard but not impossible to do remotely. What should I tell them? They all saw the speech, perhaps they were not listening hard enough?
I suspect lots of us here have some very odd memories! I used a ZX80/81/Speccy at school and at friend's houses and we eventually ended up with a C-64 at home. I still have it now and it has USB nowadays.
If you want to have all of that in the future, as SWE jobs grow in ubiquity and quantity, you should want a union. The reason we have those things now is because we had the leverage in scarcity. In the next decade that scarcity will be gone and you'll be replaceable.
To clarify: "difference in occupations drive the wage gap on an aggregate level" - This is the largest driver in the aggregate level, but not the only one. The media presentation was still absolutely untrue, but there's a good argument for a real (albeit much smaller) gap when accounting for "all attributes other than gender being equal"

you are running it with termux?
You could sue the publisher, which is analogous to suing social media companies. Suing B&N is like suing an ISP.
> Do you think phone service providers should be sued for conversations their subscribers have?

If they have even an incidental financial benefit from this behavior and take human or algorithmic steps to encourage it on their platform, then yes.

> Also without it you could sue companies like cloud flare, aws or anyone providing hosting infrastructure.

And yet, telephone companies were explicitly not liable under previous doctrine without 230 even existing. The idea of a "common carrier" far predates section 230.

I think it's fair to ask if companies like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube should honestly deserve that common carrier status.
> Not to mention if you aren't a front-end dev good luck being treated like you are a real engineer.

It’s the economy, stupid. All you guys trying to find excuses to keep on going as normal because “the economy” are engaged in myopic, short-termist thinking. If the health service is smashed and nobody can do anything because the rate of infection is out of control then that ultimately destroys the economy. You have to see the big picture. How long will it be and how much evidence do we have to see before you will just pipe down and get with the program. This is all about the economy, for everybody, not just those of us who can work at home cosily ensconced in our comfortable homes.
There is a diff. A phone convo is more like a Twitter DM. A regular post is akin to a broadcast (like TV, Radio, etc.)
> But for the individual, it is rational to try to maximize their own share of the profit, is it not?

Depends on how you measure the profit. "Profit per employee" is an abstract measurement and for most people has little bearing to what they themselves do daily. Just because a company's profit per employee happens to be $x doesn't mean you personally generated $x - you could have generated a lot more, or perhaps been a net cost instead (projects fail and get cancelled all the time). You could make an argument that if you build a wildly successful feature you should get a big share of the profit, but only if you take a pay cut when things go poorly. Who wants that? This already happens to an extent in big companies btw, people on successful projects get promoted and more cash & stock so in a way they are sharing in the success.

> And since we're talking about immensely wealthy corporations, some of which have nice margins and billions of dollars of cash in reserve, it's a bit of an intuitive step.

This is just another way of saying "they can afford it", which I discussed previously.
you can sue the individual. Look at what happened to elon musk for just saying “pedo guy”.

The beach erosion is accelerated by the presence of walls [1].

In general the regulation of seaside buildings is extremely lax in the US, and this takes a toll on the beaches. As a counter-example, in Greece seaside houses must be built at least 30m inlands from the end of the beach. It is also illegal to cut-off public access to the beach.

In a sense this has kept inflation low. China's factories and population can produce more cheap knick knacks than America can ever consume. Instead of newly printed money chasing after an inexhaustible supply of things to order from Amazon, it chases after things that are actually limited in quantity like land, stocks, gold, and bitcoin.
Yes - if it's setup like Google's union. It's optional and at this point, simply does not have enough clout to make any significant changes to affect my experience :)
Anyone who is serious about graph analysis in Python using linear algebra should check out GraphBLAS (graphblas.org). The inclusion of semirings makes things like SSSP and BFS extremely elegant on sparse adjacency matrices.

The main implementation is SuiteSparse::GraphBLAS, a C library which has two Python bindings (search for grblas or pygraphblas). Disclosure: I'm the author of grblas. Both are available on conda-forge for easy installation.

If you want to try it out without installing, here is a binder link:

Weird that you're on this thread saying it's not the SVR, and you're on the vaccine thread saying that's a bunch of nonsense. I'm sure that's just random though.

SANS isn't some secret government group - I have a colleague who is an instructor there. Those recordings aren't some top secret briefings. I and a lot of other industry professionals attended them

> " It's FireEye spewing out stuff as "facts" with very little evidence."

An APT has certain TTPs that allow you to start to figure out who is behind attacks. FireEye has tracked the attacker as UNC2452, which means it is "uncategorized" in their view. Others have come forward pointing fingers at the SVR.

Finally, just a tip: if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, it's not a "CNC" it's a "C2".
I agree with both of you, and TMTP supports adding people to a thread after it starts (see PostNotify).
Gell-Mann Amnesia in action.
B&N makes way more moderation decisions than an ISP, they promote books, they recommend books, they lay out a store so you can browse the different books on offer. They aren't a dumb pipe like a good ISP.

Specialty bookstores are even less like an ISP, they might restrict themselves to one or a handful of genres. Leftist bookstores have an ideological filter. And so on. None of them are like ISPs at all.

It would be weird to make Medium treated like a publisher for hosting a defamatory blog post while a bookstore selling a bound copy of the same content would not be. That's why section 230 is a thing!

If folks think this load broke analytics please think again. Is there no critical thinking left out there in journalism? Do folks understand the scale analytics operates at?

Some quick questions

Did they actually pay for analytics 360?

If not, did they do 10 million hits in a month for a property? if so - they may be over the limit of 10 million / month.

More on differences here:
https://blog.littledata.io/2018/02/28/google-analytics-360-v...

Analytics 360 runs 12K+/month from memory, but someone probably has more recent info.

> flexible

I don't disagree, and very not my field, but I found it curious that France's manufacturing exports per capita remain 2x the US[1], despite not having a reputation for flexibility.

Germany remains 4x. Which raises a question, with respect to manufacturing exports, why does the US look like a smaller EU, rather than like a larger France or Germany?

> However, sRGB is not linear, meaning that (0.5,0.5,0.5) in sRGB is not the color a human sees when you mix 50% of (0,0,0) and (1,1,1). Instead, it’s the color you get when you pump half the power of full white through your Cathod-Ray Tube (CRT).

While true, to avoid confusion, it might be better rephrased without bringing human color perception or even colors into the mix.

sRGB uses non-linear (gamma) values, which are good for 8-bit representation. However, operating on them as normal (linear) numbers using average (expecting blur) or addition, multiplication (expecting addition, multiplication of corresponding light) - gives nonsensical, mathematically and physically inaccurate results, perceived by any sensor, human or animal as not what was expected.

RGB colorspace in it's linear form is actually very good for calculations, it's the gamma that messes things up.

In simplified monochrome sRGB/gamma space, a value v means k·v^g units of light, for some k and gamma g = 2.2.
Attempting to calculate an average like below is simply incorrect - you need to degamma¹ (remove the ^g), calculate and then re-gamma (reapply ^g).

(k*v1^g + k*v2^g)/2 = k*(v1^g + v2^g)/2 != k*((v1+v2)/2)^g

¹ gamma function in sRGB is a bit more complex than f(x) = x^2.2
> there’s no way to override the malware safeguards

There technically is, because Macs don't come with locked bootloaders, and, you know, system files aren't exactly burned into one-time programmable memory. I mean, you could patch the binaries and have it your way if you really want to. But in reality you don't even need to do that — you only have to completely disable SIP and add change the kernel arguments (something like `amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1` iirc) to disable signature verification altogether.

> Employees can ask for better, but when you already work at the company that pays and treats their employees like Google, I'm not sure what more you are entitled to.

Alphabet makes $1.7 million per employee. Its clear that those employees don't necessarily individually have that level of contribution. Nor is it that the business model that sergey and larry made would necessarily be possible with any given number of people who aren't sergey and larry. Its much more about the ratio.

The business idea + investor money is the original capital for the business. Sergey/Larry and the investors deserve to be compensated, and are, wildly. No problem there. Basically everyone believes that inventors and creators have all sorts of rights to be compensated for that. The question is how much, since they utilize the labor of others to realize their goals.
Phone services are not publishing. They are also not curating content, promoting speech. The broadcast methods that are available using the phone (robocalls, phone banks) are the same for everyone, and rely only on money and not on algorithmic measures of engage-ability.

If a TV station had a call in show where the callers were pre-screened to be slanderous, would that be an example of a publisher or a common carrier?

I don't know the answers but it's not so obviously clear cut as running the pipes.
Would love an option to remove photos.

Employment discrimination is absolutely rampant, and I would hate for someone who is perceived by Western society to be more attractive to be given a leg up on platforms like this. Scary enough the first thing many people do on dating apps is to hit the ethnic filter button ( proud to say I've been social media / dating app free for years), but now that same mindset's going to get applied to hiring people.

If a youngish recruiter spends all day filtering out certain people on his dating apps, when he hops on LinkedIn or this thing here he's going to instinctively keep filtering people out. if someone's not physically attractive to you that absolutely should not have any role in their qualifications, if I ran the world photos on LinkedIn and this would be illegal since it's just an easy way to discriminate against people.
