No he isn't. He is experiencing the "people will downvote dumb criticisms of climate science". The WHO's response to the pandemic is not in any way evidence that the IPCC is untrustworthy after decades of thorough study of climate change. That's the reason for downvotes, not because he criticized the CCP.
Additionally, she can stage martyrdom in front of Twitter and vulture news media. If she quits and writes blog posts about her experience working at Google, she would no way get the same amount of attention she is getting now. This is called performative activism.
You are crossing streams.

Nobody is harmed by virtue of invasion of their privacy.

Ads, which relate to misinformation about COVID and elections are completely separate issue, and basically have nothing to do with the detailed nature of targeting.

'Harmful Ads' can be on any platform in the world - Google, Television, Magazines, Billboards.

There is no harm to you due to the fact that FB has a 90% chance of knowing your gender, age, and a couple of your interests. None.

"Firing @timnitGebru created a domino effect of trauma for me and the rest of the team, and I believe we are being increasingly punished for that trauma."

Wow. These activists are truly living in an alternate reality.
I think publicly posting about why its bad your colleague was fired/resigned while still working for a company is just a bad idea in general.

Quit and make the post sure but believing you can shit talk in public while still working is a bit off, isn't it?
Good faith is the most overused phrase here.
Uh. I mean. I see it. I’m not from here, I just live here. I came from the EU where 20 vacation days was the minimum to a state in the US where no vacation or personal time is required. I’m still blown away by what companies advertise as “generous”.

Maybe calm down with the assumptions and generalizations too though.
This article is spot on. The perception of your immediate manager makes or breaks the performance review. The same code will receive glowing reviews if written by a dev held in higher regard while will be used as a weapon against someone not held in high regard.

Here's one more: A bottleneck reported by someone held in high regard is taken as observant while the same bottleneck reported by some not so highly values will be considered a complaint.

Managers just look after their own agendas. It's often just better to find another boss and let the insecure manager crumble as more and more of the team leaves.

Really good managers can get past these biased behaviors, even if it comes at the expense of their own appearance of "correctness".

Find the right boss. If they don't want to help you. Move to another team. Don't suck it up for incompetent leadership.

“Cut and dry”? Given how google fired a previous AI ethicist in an entirely misleading way (“We accept and respect her decision to resign from Google”), it would be naive to take google at their word here.
Or they think that the PR win for going to the press early is worth more than the lawsuits.

Comparing this situation to your standard firing situation isn't going to add up. The calculus is different, as can be seen from the mere fact that it's being discussed here and has news articles written about it.
> You joined the site back when there was a one-time signup fee.

I wouldn't if it wasn't the case.

I am much more willing to pay a one-time fee for a lifetime unlimited plan than a subscription. No matter how expensive is the former or how cheap is the latter.

I just feel extra constant anxiety for every thing I don't own which sucks money from my account regularly, also ready to fail me as soon as I stop paying or move to another country or something. I feel insecurity and anger every time I'm offered a subscription.

Having bought something on a single-pay basis, on the contrary, floods my brain with the senses of achievement and security. Paying some bucks manually every month may do too (provided I find the service extremely useful), but not annually and not automatic (by the way I was extremely delighted to find an easy option to disable automatic payments in Pocket - the only service I've found to offer this).
What was the one-time payment originally?
It’s so bad that I can’t understand why LINE is only popular in Asia. It has all the good parts of WhatsApp plus a bunch of silly goodies like stickers, open groups, mobile payments, etc. Businesses have “official” accounts that can be

Exactly. I want to know what cellular metabolic tricks they use to keep their foot cells working at just over freezing temperatures.
This is exactly what I've been waiting for! I stopped buying their games after being disappointed at how cartoony Warcraft III was. This will be the first new thing of theirs that will get my money.
If I knew that hundreds, or thousands, of hours of my personal volunteer time and effort, were going to be exploited by some MegaCorp to make billions of dollars, I'd be pretty pissed, and discouraged to continue, even if I loved the project and mission.

If that makes me a selfish person (or less commendable than the OP), so be it.
Yes, of course - this is not Reddit or MSM; we know the merits and pitfalls of Bitcoin. How can somebody put money into a crypt that has no utility (outside of speculation) and which has crypt that's not quantum-safe and which is so wasteful in terms of energy? Remember how people were ridiculing the energy needed for a credit card transaction and that Bitcoin was way more efficient? Well, how's laughing last?
> I suppose that depends on whether you think an "Ethical AI" group's job is as window dressing or to actually make an ethical impact.

1. You can make an ethical impact without applying external pressure. Usually through internal channels. That is their expectations when they hire you.

2. Do you really think "apply external pressure via bad publicity on companynwhen necessary leaking internal documents" was in their job responsibilities?
There are valid reasons, besides propaganda from both sides. Farmers can be rightfully afraid that they will eventually lose MSP guarantees, with Modi only giving lip service to MSP and not putting any regulations in place. Given the govt's tendency to ally with big corps, an Ambani / Adani oligopoly is a real danger as well. Of course there's blatant propaganda from both sides and those of us supporting one of these sides unconditionally are fools.

No matter if you think we're in a bubble or if this valuation supports your view that we are in a bubble, at the end of the day we are all losers who have decided to spend our precious time on a Friday night glued to HN.
Yes, because there's enough people like you who would blindly throw money at it just because of FOMO then back-rationalize the decision using whatever HN tells you. Stonks only go up.
Yes, ethics is agnostic to one's personal convictions when it is your job.
Same as how defense lawyers leave their personal sense of justice out of their jobs.
Same as how sports referees don't let their childhood fandom of a particular team affect their calls.
Same as how actors will be physically intimate with people the opposite of the sexual preference.
Embracing Functional Programming in Ruby (2017)
Old timer here. I actually wound up building something that worked a little better for me (I wouldn't deign to call it a competitor) but the value pinboard has provided me for years makes this a no brainer. I will pay for at least one year.

Thanks for being so straightforward about this and letting us use it for free all this time!
In Australia this costs A$499, a bit more than the A$200-$300 budget I was willing to spend!

Having been part of a company acquired by EA: It's EA.

Nobody "cashed out", because the stock options turned into so much hot air. You couldn't have pried business goals out of EA with a autopsy kit. They were interested in IP, and in "leadership". They deliberately drove the rest of the business into the ground to get rid of most of the devs.

And, talking to other people acquired by EA, that was far from the exception. In general, anybody who worked for EA in a non-exec role can tell you: If you wonder who the villain is, you could do worse than guess it's EA "leaders"

While this primarily has to do with psychedelics, they address depression as well in the above.
No, they are completely reconcilable. The amount of power it takes to run a powerful consumer CPU is trivial compared to the amount of power used in many other common applications like heating, vehicles, etc. This effect is particularly pronounced when you consider that laptops use way less energy than desktops (on average) and mobile computing as a whole is displacing desktops outside of niches like PC gaming.

The environmental issue doesn't make sense IMO, but increasing hardware requirements does have real impact on accessibility.
Don’t airports with multiple terminals end up needing a people mover anyway? Would have made more sense for Bart to terminate at Millbrae and extend the SFO air train to it so Caltrai/Bart transfers worked better.
Elon is promoting cryptocurrency. I would assume it makes him feel powerful when the price goes up.
Are hording and depression related, aside from the Great Depression, which is unrelated?
So what happens to global valuations once the world population starts shrinking? I also wonder what would happen if there was another significant war - surely peace cannot continue forever.

Low interest rates don't effect whether a stock goes up or down. That is determined by earnings growth.

Edit: Peter Lynch agrees with me. Instead of being a passive aggressive downvoting asshole leave a comment.

Edit: Lol, I can't respond to your comments because everyone downvoted my comment and HN rate-limited me. Later.
Of all the things to argue about how that incident went down, this is the worst.

She sent an email with a list of demands saying if they weren't met, she'd work on an exit date with the company.

The company couldn't meet those demands. By her own words she would be exiting the company, they worked out that exit date with her in that email: right now
Whatcha talking about, Willis?

Hehe ;)
Honestly for the average user it makes perfect sense. They said that they found the average user did not understand the difference between logging out of chrome and logging out of google so they would accidentally leave one logged in.

If you don’t trust google with your data then you shouldn’t use chrome at all.
Is she really calling Dr. Gebru one of the world's leading scientists or am I misreading something?

"American" implies it's in the USA, like if someone is described as "American", they're from the USA. European, Asian, African, Australian, North American, and South American all refer to the continent, Antarctican seems to be a similar word (without much use, unsurprisingly), but I don't think there is one for the whole Americas in English, because "American" isn't it.
Yeah dude I gotta quit this and my other forums lol. I spend so much time reading about stuff and trying to learn... instead of chilllin.
Since she's an at will worker, it'll be difficult to prove she was fired illegally
Looks can sometimes be deceiving with regards to one-legged birds.

My pet goose (yeah, weird pet, but she was from an egg I saved and incubated) does a trick where when she sleeps she puts her head under under a wing and lifts a leg up -- she sleeps on a single leg with her head tucked like a big ball of balanced feathers with tremendous balance and grace. She tucks her leg up so high into her down fluff that you can't see it at all. She only wobbles a bit when she's deeply asleep -- never falling.

Here is a picture of a different species of goose (I have a Toulouse) doing the same behavior[0]. It's not terribly uncommon among birds.

Of course REAL one-legged birds exist, just wanted to mention that they like to confuse people once in awhile :)

Can you mount the remote server over SSHFS or NFS or SMB and do the work locally on a file manager of your choice with a remote filesystem?

Or, if that's not a good option, what about a installing a TUI remotely that you can use in the console like midnight commander?

Just some ideas. YMMV.
I try to not sign up for things where I'd be super sad if I stopped paying and things went away, like old emails on an account I haven't used in ages.

I'm really tempted to do this. I fear there is no going back if I do though. I've been in tight spots financially before so commitment of this kind makes me a bit nervous.
Don't forget the strange PDF - that coincidentally happens to mention Terry Davis on it?
I first ran into Cockpit when I put Fedora 33 Server Edition on an RPi. Needless to say, I was blown away by it and now keep it enabled on several servers I run.

I highly recommend it to anyone here, especially on something like a headless server where you don't want or can't have an X11 UI running.
I've always used Kobo e-readers because they show up as storage over USB and then you copy epub files to them and they automatically pick them up, no jailbreak required.

I don't know what's involved with trying to do the same thing with Kindles, and I don't know about hacking the firmware.
I don't get how everybody is just making a killing right now. What goes up must come down? Are people going to get uber burned?

Like somebody who put in 50% of their net worth today, and maybe it drops?
Laws override NDAs. Legal counsel is a common exception. Different jurisdictions have different specific rules.

Your NDAs probably don't say you can cooperate with law enforcement investigations either. But it's very unlikely a court would say you can't.
Countercurrent exchange is a remarkable thing that every engineer should know about.
You should consider leaving Gmail instead. I have been migrated most of my stuff away from Gmail to Fastmail. What I like about Fastmail is that its custom domain and IMAP support is first-class instead of an afterthought, it doesn't mine my email for purchases/trips/other, its web UI really is better, and I don't worry about my account being cancelled with no recourse. (No association, just a happily paying customer).
I swear I was just thinking the same thing :(
This feeling runs contrary to the practical reality. Paying once for a service someone else is running doesn’t actually mean you “own” it; Pinboard could disappear at any time.

By contrast, if you’re paying a recurring fee, you’re incentivizing the company to continue operating the service.

>Do you really think the type of bullet matters?

We don't think, we know.

>A bullet is a projectile whose sole purpose is to penetrate the human body at subsonic or supersonic speeds.

Not even remotely true. There are bullets whose sole purpose is to penetrate paper targets accurately.

>The original commenter was advocating for carrying and using weapons that fire these bullets against innocent people.

Wrong, it was advocacy for carrying and using weapons that fire bullets against guilty felons.

>To me that's just depravity.

To those based in reality, it's a right to self-defense.
Does anyone know if the privacy.firstparty.isolate setting is any less effective than containers? It certainly is easier to use, since you don’t have to make choices about what goes in each container.

It's an opinion of what the GPL is and by definition that's okay whether negative to you or not. I personally think it's kind of funny even though I strongly support both GPL and MIT as valid methods of opening up software. My opinion of "infect" is also valid as is yours. That's the beauty of free speech.
Would anyone suspect that an AI set her up? One could be fully capable of that.

I know the behaviour you are describing, but the pigeon had its foot severed at the ankle. I saw the actual leg, so its not that it was hiding it. Looked more like pirate stub.
It started at a few dollars and increased a tiny amount with every signup. I paid $9.22 so was a relative latecomer.

At some point it became a fixed price and then the annual price used today.
This seems a little myopic. Definitely earnings growth is a factor, but it can’t really explain what just happened with GameStop and WSB, nor most of Amazon’s rise over the past decades. Future expected cash flows, market size, interest rates (and therefore capital seeking yield via equity markets) are all factors. Alongside human tastes, cultural perception, and pockets of irrationality.

Unlikely I think as if they weren’t iron clad, they would muffle up and prepare for the wrongful termination lawsuit that will only be greater if they lie about the departure. Since a lie would be slander, damage reputation and lead to lots more money.

I think them issuing this statement means they feel confident in their defense. It also being so specific seems more credible since that’s something to easy to verify (emailing company info out of company).
I wonder if the zigbee is simply being used as a serial bridge between a UART on the rover, and the snapdragon 801 on the helicopter?

(reading the pdf, yes it is). I imagine there is not much concern for a urban noise floor or choosing a clean channel, as there might be with city use of zigbee here on the earth. In some places the ISM 900 band can be completely obliterated by smart meters and baby monitors and stuff.
I know that "me too" posts are generally frowned up here but I think in this case it's warranted: me too.
Do you doubt that even one does? Because if one does, it gives them such a ludicrous advantage that the others can't even be competitive if they don't.
I was thinking about buying 1K USD worth of crypto as a "long shot" type bet that its value increases enough to buy one of these when they are commonly available.
Ah , that's too bad.

This article mentions a correlation between pollution and loss-of-limbs in urban pigeons. They even mention it may due to human hair entanglement from hair salons as a primary culprit -- that seems far fetched to me, but who knows.[0]

I tend to think that it's mostly just environmental entanglement, pigeons are pretty curious animals.

That’s not really a fair comparison. Firefox with default settings + ublock works fine just about everywhere.

Edit: also, leaving incognito on all the time still doesn’t break much of anything, and gives most of the privacy benefits of the other stuff you mentioned.
there are so many tools and interfaces for similar things: prometheus, elastic search(ES), new relic, splunk .... I think the world is converging on 2 stacks: ES and prometheus. ES is hard to operate but can handle everything: metrics, tracing, logs. Prometheus promises to be easy to use and has good metrics and alerting. In our work, we chose ES. I don't think so far ease of use is possible and team has to get hands dirty for any good solution.
> What is it you think "they" started?

They walked away from the negotiating table around 12 years ago and are nearly entirely focused on playing up the culture war games rather than actually doing any sort of governing.

And yet there is a fun little internet subculture that insists both sides are at fault, the media is at fault, tribalism, etc...

> there are lots of situations in American politics which boil down well to Red vs. Blue. Personally I don't think this is one of them.

I disagree. Blue side has been warning about extreme weather events due to climate change, about how unprepared our infrastructure is. Red side has been oil money == good, deregulation == profits. I don't think there has ever been a disaster that has so vividly highlighted the contrasting platforms and priorities of the two parties.
I feel you are mixing totally different libraries and blaming SQLAlchemy for it. I use SQLAlchemy a lot and go through its documentation. I use it with FastAPI or other micro-frameworks.

But I need SQLAlchemy to really work with ... SQL! And it is solid at that. The glue libraries between bigger ones like SQLAlchemy and Flask usually are less maintained and have less eyeballs on them. These are weaker points IMHO, not SQLAlchemy.
