>A few years ago, back in 2016, Intel did a “RIF” (reduction in force) of about 11%. Intel had previously done a significant reduction way back in 2006 of about 10%

>In an industry that runs on “tribal knowledge” and “copy exact” and experience of how to run a very, very complex multi billion dollar fab, much of the most experienced, best talent walked out the doors at Intel’s behest, with years of knowledge in their collective heads

bottom line: Intel created the hole by itself and jump into that deep end.

>Listening to a professor speaking to himself from a distance of 10 meters

But is that the default, common experience? I'm asking seriously: I finished my bachelor's 30 years ago and my master's 15 years ago and that has never been my experience.

Our professors were actual people we talked and interacted with, even the boring ones. And they made an effort to teach. Now, I didn't go to a huge "research" university, where I hear it's common to get profs who have no interest in teaching, but what you describe isn't remotely like what I encountered.

> We would need a third party, like the government or a nonprofit.

I thought this was a joke but then I read the rest.

The government, and the many non-profits that benefit from their unique positions with government, are precisely the "enemy" of the people Airbnb are supposedly protecting us against. It would be ridiculous, self-serving, and entirely wasteful to do anything like this, especially led by the government.
Some people are less concerned about "the look".

I personally just want a social network were I don't have to worry about being banned every minute. (Not sure if PArler qualifies, but I suppose it is their selling point).
Mount a fileserver via NFS?
Maybe some kind of ombudsman (government-mandated, with some legislative ability) that is mediating the conversation between both parties and tries to find a good middle-ground or correct a wrong.

Too many Google customers gets wronged without the ability to get reparation or to talk to an actual person, and considering the size of Google that is unacceptable with the impact they have on everybody's lives.
> Personally I believe that vendoring is just the lazy approach by developers that do not want to care about the eco system their software runs in.

As someone with a foot in both worlds, allow me to try to put it more diplomatically: developers' job is to get into the weeds, pay attention to tiny little details, and know every piece of their code so well they often visualize the problem and fix in their head before even putting hands to keyboard. They don't want to have to deal with "other peoples' software."

System administrators (and by extension, distribution maintainers) have to take in the bigger picture: how will this affect stability? Resources? How will this package interact with other pieces of software? They have to consider use cases in everything from the embedded to insanely large clusters and clouds.

It would behoove developers to try to expand their awareness of how their software fits in with the rest of the world, if even for a short while. It's hard (I know), but in the end it will make you a better developer, and make your software better.

I nearly ended up becoming a quadriplegic[1] after ignoring my health issues(I literally didn't know I had a fracture in my neck) while running a startup for ~5 years as a single founder. I had to close my startup because of it.

So I would certainly say it was not worth it, now even my compute time is limited, I had to even change my programming language of choice(Java to Go) to reduce the time before computer before my biological alarm(pain) goes off.

Please do what ever it takes to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Especially the single founders out there, the bus factor is more real than the perceived light at the end of the tunnel.

Also workaholics, get a damn big heath insurance coverage, largest coverage you can afford.

Compared to this, my worry about Apple cars being glued shut seems unimportant.
People speak at a much slower rate than your brain is capable of processing.
Once the ability to remotely brick a car becomes a possibility, people will expect it. For now, Toyota can't do a thing to their cars when someone else is using it, so no one holds them to that standard.
Doubt... Look at all the CVE on that kind of hardware, limited liability and actual loss of control to contractors. In this case, leading to not knowing you are actually selling Open Source technology.

Look at the longevity of this router and all the features: "it was the perfect way to turn your $60 router into a $600 router". With closed firmware, you can artificially lock features and prevent everyone from adding them to cheap devices. You can also stop updating firmware after few years so everyone trash old devices and buy a new one.

Fun fact: Open Source is good for the environment.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this [1] and this [2] and especially this [3].

Area 51 was a radar testing site due to the unique properties of the salt on the ground. And they just tested a "silver shiny UFO" which was the prototype for the SR-71. And yes, this was exactly the same date when people first called radio stations and the police for UFO sightings.

The Skunkworks A-12 OXCART research project led to the final SR-71 design for the CIA's spy planes. More details on this on the CIA website for the Archangel project in the web archive [4].

That's possible; I don't remember the exact dates, just that it was at the "I really need to buy tickets" timeframe for the end of Feb.
I am of such mixed opinions on this. I've been the undercompensated employee that was going to walk and got a great package in return. I stuck around for another 5 years and consider my salary to be my own business, and no one elses. (disclaimer: I'm in my 40's)

As VP Eng supporting a team of 30 at a startup. I had a similar situation. One employee was absolutely crushing it by performing above level and when compared to peers, despite earning about 5% less than the median (zero prior experience before being hired, so it was a bit of a gamble for the company). At annual comp adjustment time, I gave him a bump that brought him a percent or two above peers (including their own adjustment).

Well, did that unleash a shitstorm. One of his teammates complained that it wasn't fair that he made more money. She was solid and consistent and was squarely in the "meeting expectations" bracket. It was irrelevant to her that he was overperforming. She had been at the company 2 months longer and therefore, should make more money.

However, what really blew my mind was when the employee who got the raise complained about this as well. He also felt that it was unfair that he made more money than his teammate. They both then brought up that they felt that they felt it was an issue of sexual discrimination, which was especially ironic since our CEO, COO, and VP Finance were women (yes, I was on the management team of a tech company where women outnumbered men).

In any case, the agreed upon solution to make the problem go away was to a) bump the teammate's pay to match and b) completely eliminate any discretion or performance components to annual pay increases. Everyone simply got 3%.
I misread the link you posted. Still, “affect the outcome” is very broad - the White House winner? some EC votes? a House seat? So is “voter fraud” - presence of fake ballots? demoralisation/suppression caused by the likelihood of fraud?

The election was highly unusual in that it was conducted with a much higher fraction of postal voting (obviously a less secure method, and accompanied by rule changes), and highly sketchy in the way that vote counting took so long to complete and even paused unexpectedly in the key swing states at a point where it looked like the outcome would be different. These things alone ensure that outcome would be hotly disputed.

Telling both sides of the story is the mechanism by which court rooms reach a verdict. Failing to do so is counterproductive, it simply breeds distrust of journalism and makes the selectively reported side appear weaker.
I am not an expert (and don’t have any idea what I am talking about), but wouldn’t this be captured the same way other future positional advantages are when evaluating the next “level” of possible board positions? Ie, the fact that a piece can later give check, or castle, or anything else if you first move it here is a function of that next move’s resulting position score.

This network is just to signal to the final search algorithm how good the board looks in a given spot on tree of possible moves.
I used to think UFO sighting meant some kind craft piloted by extra terrestrial beings. Are they often planes piloted by humans you don't know?

Nobody expects Apple to brick the iPhone of $BAD_PERSON
My understanding: If you verify the safety numbers in person, then I believe you can be confident that it's E2E encrypted for that conversation. If the safety numbers are different, then there could be a nefarious actor listening in.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: That being said, I believe they could still record IPs, as well as the destination and timestamps of each message.
All fair points but I think that with higher margins it tips the balance towards market share growth. Key issues are 1) can they make an acceptable margin on a good $800 laptop and 2) can they genuinely significantly grow market share rather than lowering average selling price - i.e. can they maintain distinction between $800 and $1000 products. Given what we've seen them do on iPhone and iPad I bet then answer is yes to both of these.

Bear in mind too that after a generation or two they can put the last gen M chips in cheaper products.

Replying to distract myself from the Intel news.

Nuvia has shown [1] they have designs with Pref Per Watts that rivals or exceed Apple's current A14. Normally these sort of pre-design and slides should be taken with a big pinch of salt from Startup. But this is from Gerard Williams, ARM Fellow and Architect of all current Apple CPU design. So i think they are plausible.

The improvement in Single Thread Performance is what Qualcomm desperately needs for their SnapDragon SoC. It will also reboot their ARM on Server work now that Apple and Amazon has the ball rolling.

Tremendous respect for CEO Steven Mollenkopf, retiring later this summer.

I didn't read all comments, just searched for "delete" and "remove" without success. My question is, if I can delete a record. I find that quite important, since I just created one called "bla" with nonsense, and then internally panicked slightly. If I try it tomorrow, I will just recycle my record for something useful, so a workaround exists. But I still think, deletion is somewhat crucial.

Apart from that, some other things I stumbled over:
- The icon is hard to see on my background, because it contains (too thin) black lines and transparent pixels. Give me some contrast!

- The "House" for "Snap to now" feels unintuitive, but that is subjective. How about a text label, so you don't need an icon?

- That "Calendar" icon for "Select Timerange" as well.

- "Step forward" is one day forward. How about naming it.. more like what it is. A step is a generic thing that might be differently perceived, a day isn't (so much).

- "Start Record" and "New Record" are pretty similar features. I do understand the difference, but I would enjoy more, if those two were simplified into just one in an intelligent way.

- That burger menu is, pardon me, somewhat of a problem. There is so much information. I can see "Install App" in the installed App. "Export" happens there but also on the main screen. Which features belong where? Im missing a hierarchy here.

- Your hint text in the "Manage tags" dialog is too long. Please build it in a way, where I do have to read less words. More like 5 or so (currently there are around 50).

- Is that a refresh button next to the burger menu (left side)? I can click an empty button. Wait, what?

- I really do like that infinite scroll and stuff. Looks cool. On the other hand it is quite easy to get lost. Maybe some snapping on day-level (rather than hour-level) might help.

- Please don't require headings over button groups at all (and then even mix that with my initials!)
I concur. When we tried these things in undergrad, it would be three people on their phone, three people giving an earnest effort but having no clue what to do, and one person who actually understood what was going on being burdened to drag the other people through the exercise like an unpaid TA. If there was more than one person who understood what was going on that was almost a bigger issue, running into the 'too many chiefs and not enough indians' problem which kills productivity and ends in frustration on all sides.

- VK (VKontakte), OK (OdnoKlasniki);

- Gosuslugi (for communicating with official governmental Portal of state services of Russian Federation);

- MyOffice Documents;

- Kaspersky Antivirus.

This regulation comes into force on April 1, 2021.[0]

Yes and no. Social media is for politics maybe a bit like infrastructure. But also if nobody wanna host your server (like Parler/AWS) then you just loose everything.

It is now the first time it hit a president from a large country. But its not really different from no bank wanna do business with for ex. the porn industry.
1 really doesn’t hold water. Some ISPs in the US still waive the fee if you don’t rent equipment, so that doesnt really strengthen the argument. I now have an ISP that doesn’t waive the fee but that doesn’t matter either, since it is not optional it is just part of the total sunk cost. I still use my own router.

Your whole argument doesn’t hold water because even with Comcast you can bring your own equipment. They don’t go out of their way to help you... but they don’t stop you either. Don’t see how that is “control”.

Maybe you will not call tech support when your own equipment fails but you clearly have no experience in a support role if you think other people won’t!

Just spend some time on GitHub issues for more popular open source projects to get an idea, and the multiply that by at least 10 for the general public.
Yes, they will lose access.
A downvote is behavioural nudge with no guidance - it's a nudge in a pitch black cavern that you're somehow expecting them to navigate and learn from? "Oh, maybe I said something bad or wrong or they didn't understand me or ??????" Even worse maybe emotionally they'll start thinking people hate them or something is wrong with them without knowing why, and then they'll disengage. Is that really how we want to treat people?

Likewise, how do you determine if it's a quality downvote - as in, is the downvoter actually interpreting what's being said adequately? Maybe the downvoter is biased somehow, e.g. suppressing anti-CPP commentary seems to be more common even when they are thoughtful and critical responses. If the downvoter is forced to actually reply with a qualitative response, then the OP would be able to either realize they didn't explain clearly enough - or we'd all be able to determine the would-be downvoter isn't reasonable or with incongruent logic.

I'd say the cost of spending time to think through enough to respond with writing is a fair, good cost, in order to participate vs. getting a quick hit of dopamine with a downvote click; everyone grows then and refines themselves and help to refine others.

Really? After 4 years of unrelenting conspiracy theories that the 2016 election was not "free and fair", I find that an interesting comment.
It does as Box seems to be doing fine. It was Dropbox failure at enterprise and trying to focus on consumer when other companies are offering similar features for free. Just bad strategy
Replace "Apple Car" with "MP3 Player". In 2001, there were plenty of players on the market that sufficiently did the job of playing audio.

Apple saw that they could do better and they did. They must feel that they can do the same with a car.

One way they can do better is privacy. We're starting to find out now just how much data about our driving habits our cars are storing. Like smart TV's it's only a matter of time before the likes of Toyota and Ford decide to sell that data to help increase their margins. I can see Apple offering the lack of that kind of tracking as a big selling point.
I think it's still a troll question.

"What if Tesla or GM or Ford or Volkswagen ... "

Then people would sue the company for damages and their stock would take a hit. Done.

In China, this has nothing to do with Apple and everything to do with the Government.
Probably the best option if we had some data history, but we have no stats on possible long-term effects for these vaccines, so I would have to compare with other vaccines (which might work differently). It's beyond my knowledge on vaccines to know if these comparisons might be relevant.
I really like this, I think this is a great foundation. I've pen and paper done this type of tracking to try and see how long I get to spend on task during a day, what sort of categories of work I'm doing, where am I losing the majority of my time etc. I do encourage it if you've got the sort of job where this is an issue.

I'm not sure its something I'd do long term, but it's nice to sample a few days and re-calibrate your time every now and then.
> I realize this is incredibly hard on the Dropboxers and their families who are impacted, and I take full responsibility for this decision.

What does it even mean to say you take full responsibility for the decision? Is the CEO taking a huge compensation cut for having arrived at this stage? What difference does that make for the ones who are let go (other than perhaps an official letter that they weren’t fired for cause)?
In Germany there is no at-will employment.

Employers need a reason to fire employees.

This prevents them from reaching into people's private lives, like Huawei is doing here.
