I'm not a specialist in CPU design but to me RISC-V seems like an incremental evolution, nothing really ground-breaking, when compared to alternatives the main benefit is the openness/licensing/cost. But at the same time think that you can get a $5 raspberry pi and embedded ARM chips cost pennies.

The entire effort of supporting it and building the ecosystem will be hard to justify economically at these cost figures.

Mill on the other hand has a lot of interesting ground-breaking ideas that can potentially offer a 10x performance/watt improvement.

Many people have been recently in awe after experiencing the ARM performance improvements around 40% offered by the Apple silicon and AWS Graviton CPUs. Just imagine something offering a 10x based on a Mill design, I'd love to see it built one day and available on the market.

Quick Points on the SolarWinds Hack (a Twitter thread)
It also illustrate that making the law against discrimination less complex would benefit everyone, just at different situations.

An other weird situation that laws is causing is the gendered opening hours for public bath houses operated by the state. Politically there is an interest for having a women only day. In order to make it more equal there is also a men only day. If you ask the personal, days with mixed gender is more popular in terms of number of visitors, calmer and with less trouble. Polls also showed that visitors were happier with the visit during mixed gender days than during gendered day. It is also cheaper to operate for the government.

The courts looked at the issue and decided that it was however consistent with the exception, and the decision at the end was up to the politicians to make. The outcome is that single sex days exist at most public bathhouses.

Placing things on a scale is a choice you are making in your analysis. You are free to place things on a scale as much as you like.

From what little exposure I had several years ago SuiteScript seemed very powerful but versioning / upgrading with our vendor was very painful. It ended with giving providers access and they managed the SuiteScript stuff directly.

This is a little different than for example the deep ocean where nobody has jurisdiction. In this case the Federal Government has jurisdiction, but due to a quirk of the laws would be impossible to prosecute someone for a crime committed there.

For the most part it isn't an issue because, as previously noted, nobody lives there. There is nobody around to commit crimes. There is also precious little there to commit crimes against. If this loophole ever actually came up I'd expect it to be over something like illegal logging, not a murder.

After a while it really felt like work to drag myself through that timeline with all those people posting the same tired memes over and over or discussing what they had for lunch. I backed openbook (now okuna) on kickstarter but never really had a reason to come back to it.

I just use LinkedIn now because you can't really do without it (and it's not really social media, more like hyper curated personal PR). And some special-purpose platforms like some work-related public slack circles and Yammer at work.

I have a Software Engineering Bachelor's degree, I was lucky enough to get an internship position at a not-so-big-but-well-paying tech company (AI) and over time I have come to love what I do.

4 months later, they seem to like me and are giving me a fulltime offer.

I initially wanted to go to grad school (MSc) but I am not sure if I should anymore, given the pandemic and what's happening in the world right now.

Should I continue to build my skills at this company or go to grad school.

Facebook already requires you to use a government issued ID to identify yourself if they question your profile [1]. Not a legal requirement, Facebook's requirement. Twitter also requires government ID to get a blue verified checkbox [2], or to report fraud.

“Tax” is a great model on which to view the situation! I also think of these leadership positions, critical race theory / anti-racism / unconscious bias trainings, and diversity initiatives as a sort of insurance policy against social media-driven outrage. A large organization pays the "premium" to prevent a possible large loss of brand reputation.

As you stated, this functions to benefit the large organizations that can afford the premiums while smaller organizations will go unprotected and pay the costs of the outrage that will be deflected their way.

Worth noting that "public health insurance" ("single payer" or "public option") is different than "public healthcare" ("socialized medicine"); I'm advocating for the former, not the latter. If I'm following you correctly it seems like you're analyzing the public healthcare option, which is a much more substantial change.

I agree with your point that you'd need to dramatically overhaul the regulatory framework to implement socialized medicine (i.e. the government opening clinics), but I think you would need to do significantly less work if the healthcare delivery remained privatized. Of course in both approaches you could reduce healthcare costs by reforming liability laws.

The main decision in my opinion is between true "single payer" (i.e. private health insurance is not permitted for services covered by the public insurance) and "public option" where private insurance can compete with the public option for coverage on core services. The details here are pretty complex and there are options all across the spectrum in the EU to compare; e.g. Germany has a hybrid approach where below a certain income you must take the public option, and above the threshold you can buy private coverage. Canada has a true single-payer system it seems (though you can supplement for additional coverage that the core single payer system doesn't cover). Etc. (See for example https://www.griffinbenefits.com/blog/how-does-healthcare-in-... for a bit more detail).

Either way there's extremely high support for some sort of public option in the US; it's around 80% supporting medicare for everyone who wants it, and that reduces to something like 60% if you ask specifically about "medicare replacing your insurance" i.e. true single payer.

> How does end-of-life care/cost compare in Europe with the US?

I'm not familiar with those numbers, would be interested in comparisons if anyone has data they can link. I'd guess at low confidence that it's better in the EU, since they are more likely to use utilitarian measures like QALY for allocating healthcare spending, and that framework should discourage excessive end-of-life care expenditures.

The X11 server changes would involve isolating clients by default, keeping them unaware of windows they did not create themselves... but allowing a whitelist of trusted clients that can see everything.

This is inimical to the design principles of Wayland, whose security policy is to isolate all clients -- no exceptions, no escape.

The 1984 Mac was largely a novelty, but it was one that demonstrated possibilities. There are non-novelty applications that are precluded by Wayland. Something like EXWM could not be done. You cannot write a standalone virtual-desktop switcher, it must be integrated into the compositor. Et weary cetera. Wayland is very opinionated about the kinds of programs you can write for it, and if you want to go beyond that you must traverse the step function into "write your own compositor".

We haven't pushed premium yet, we're still trying to grow. But we have a plan.

To be fair, it requires a lot of mental and spiritual creativity to jump from non-belief to belief. And, one probably needs to have an instinct for it (like, I probably would have been a tribal shaman, had I lived 50,000 years ago) and some motivation to go in deep just for the experience.

That's not to call their position indefensible, but I suspect some of the people who fomented the thing will have to defend it.
I don't know how well Docker works with X11, but just the fact that it would be nearly impossible to make global settings changes would be frustrating as hell.

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm not even sure how this could make sense.

In wlroots they probably won't implement it because that requires a GUI toolkit and they don't want to depend on any particular toolkit.

The push behind wayland happened specifically because the desktop environments wanted to implement their own display server, and it was becoming problematic to try to make it happen transparently. It's actually somewhat of the reverse of what you're saying, desktop environments can only wash their hands of things and push them off to the X server for so long before it becomes untenable.

Can't say I inherited any audio equipment from my parents. Appreciation skipped a generation.

But I've had my AKG K240's for years and they're tireless. Not suitable so much for running around town, but they've been made since the 70's nearly to the same spec. The cable is removable, so are the ear pads and both replaceable.

You're saying the reactions were predictable after brokers took measures and justified their actions.

So what's your solution? How do we differentiate between a tablet user and someone who decided to shrink their windows?
I think you vastly overestimate power individual users have to force change on people like facebook.

What you propose means that if facebook doesn't like the anti-tracking rules, they can go around them. If your cable company doesn't like the anti-location awareness features to target ads to you if you stream their show, they can go around that. If a biller doesn't like that users can ask for a 30 day heads up on subscription renewals, they can do their own app store.

It is only because Apple (as a whole) as enough market power that - my subscription show notifications prior to renewal. That all of a sudden I can sign in to a bunch of apps with an apple sign in THAT DOES NOT RELEASE MY EMAIL. That all of a sudden privacy labels are appearing next to apps. And the list goes on. NONE of this would happen if these other folks were in charge, there is much more money in exploiting users.

So yes, apple is using its market power to push back on behavior they don't believe makes sense for their average user base. You are a power user, able to navigate all options - jump on andorid, root it, and do what you want.

> But now the wiki-activists can ban conservatives just for saying something conservative, which is what they've really wanted to do all along.

Exactly. This is always the point of CoCs that punish offsite behavior and include "hate speech" and such as an offense. The language is always humpty-dumptying and a preemptive mott-and-bailey. Say you're banning "harassment and hate speech", then in the future claim that "a machine can not make a sneetch into a star-bellied-sneetch" makes you feel unsafe and magically you've created ideological homogeneity.

The intent it to make sure you're not allowed to speak views that oppose the orthodoxy and still exist online.

> I'd love to see the result of a concerted ground-up creation of a hardware and software system that starts from scratch and leaves unresolvable legacy considerations to virtual machines or whatever.

This has been tried often. (Thinking Machines, Multiflow, e.g., not to mention Itanium) I would love to see this too; I worked for a startup that tried to do this (vliw, no specex), and taped out with a working chip, after 6 months. Maybe the startup didn't have the right sales team, but they didn't manage to make any meaningful sales, the culture in the buyer's market is too conservative.

In the case of the company I worked for I suspect that part of the problem is that conservative buyers will look for excuses to say no, instead of excuses to say yes. One such example is that nobody would accept that you could move specex to the compiler, with the old "sufficiently advanced compiler" joke, despite the fact that they could prove that llvm was "advanced enough".
Many will not evaluate software that is unstable, because that is a clear sign the whole effort is not yet suitable for any meaningful time investment.

Play it how you will, of course. I will pass hard personally. Lack of stability is very high on my qualification list.

To be blunt, where it exists there are other priority problems.

One may just be flashy speed and other sizzle done at the general expense of the solution being robust.

May only take an event or two needed to cancel out potential gains from those things. Turn that crank a time or two and many will just get back to work.

An attempt or two again? Many will ignore the solution and or have adopted something else.

Net result? The team that did not make stability a priority likely did a lot of market building for the ones who did.

I'm not a lawyer, however from an European side, I think it really depends on your contract with them. If you are paid as independent/contractor, then they can probably terminate the contract how they please depending on the conditions which are stipulated on the contract with them. They probably don't need to provide any reasons then.

The European governments has foreseen protections (e.g. they can't fire you when you are sick, or notice leave, etc...), but these only apply when you are an employee.

I sincerely hope though that you manage to receive a compensation for the wrongdoing they did to you. Like the other poster mentioned, maybe checking out with a lawyer in the US would be the best way to go forward.
