> This isn't 4D chess, it's creating a reason you can detain someone once you know what they're up to without having to blow what you know about their real activities (which might lead to too many shutting down before you want them too).

This seems like a stretch. Any spy who gets detained for vague, amorphous reasons is going to assume they were detained for being a spy. Once you detain them, you have to hold on to them, and you've already revealed the fact that you suspect them. There's nobody out there going "oh look, they arrested our spy. Let's just leave everything out in the open and hope it was a coincidence."
Some bugs in D2 and pretty silly. Like how Strafe displays (animation) a 2-frame attack while doing a 3-frame attack. Or how Fend will miss every hit if you trigger a Dodge. Or how the Blaze synergy on Fire Wall just doesn't work.

I guess cashing in is supposed to be cheap, and D2 was good enough that I might still play it.
> She is an authority on Ethics

This is so pretentious. Ethics is a branch of philosophy and even religion with deep debates raging from 4000 years ago and no end in sight. Hundreds of specialists have been going at it in multi-decades efforts and yet any of their opinions must not carry more weight than the average citizen's. Mitchell has a BS in Linguistics an MS in computational linguistics and a PhD in CS. Her fist paper about something even tangentially related to ethics is from 2015.
"community accountability practices" just sounds like mob justice. It seems like an especially bad idea in the current environment where people who are more than happy to join in an outrage mob after only hearing one side of the story, and sometimes aren't even affected by whatever they're targeting. A "community" shouldn't be anyone who happens to agree with you on twitter.
Damore posted his stupid screed all over the place for months. He posted it to mailing lists, he printed it out and waved it around at conferences.
That is the same thing? In large companies I have never been allowed to export my emails, since it could be used to do this very exact thing.
Your whole understanding of the GPL is a mis-categorization of its behavior.

The GPL does not "aggressively applies itself to full code bases that adopt it", that sentence is even completely meaningless. I can't even find the beginning of what you wanted to convey regardless of the side I attempt to take it. If a "code base adopts the GPL", then yes ok "it" adopts it, is there a problem? Why would anything attempt to "aggressively" apply the GPL licence to a code base that adopted the GPL? If it is rather than the GPL aggressively applies itself up to the point code bases that adopt it are fully converted to it but were not before, then that still makes no sense obviously because 1. a license is not sentient and won't attempt to aggressively do things by itself, but also 2. because code under other licences exists in code bases and systems containing code licensed under the GPL -- some under licences compatible with the GPL, other under licences not even compatible with the GPL.

To finish with that characterization, please provides the plenty of examples that should surely exists of projects that had to switch to the GPL against their "will" because of its supposed "infectious" or "cancerous" nature (not just dual licence or use some compatible licence, switching). And then please provides among this list, the list of the projects where it happened for another reason than lack of due diligence by the copyright holders of pieces of code supposedly "infected" or tainted with "cancer" against their will.

A final note: there at least 2 more ways (that are not open-sourcing) if somebody did a mistake and based a work on GPL licensed code but should not have done that because the conditions of the GPL are not appropriate for it: rebase the project on non-GPL licensed software; or stop it - or at least stop its distribution. Nobody will even manage to "retroactively" 100% force you to open-source proprietary software. And nobody can force you to change an open-source licensed code compatible with the GPL to the GPL itself, I don't even see what would be the point of asking to do that change.
Definitely, yes! And it's helping their brand. But I doubt this would've worked with Apple or Amazon, as those are not search engines and are used differently.
US journalists (and bloggers - hello Brian) tend not think about this much. They'll publish names in their articles just because they can.

When pressed they'll blab some indefensible nonsense about their duty as a journalist, which apparently includes throwing innocent people under the bus with a flourish.
Isn't this the same problem of people glancing at the front page of a paper and not buying it? Yet apparently newspaper companies put that clear plastic in there so that the front page could be read, the assumption being that seeing the front page headline is more likely to make you buy the paper than not seeing it.

So too, the point of "clickbait" is that they are doing everything in their power to make you click. So the assumption that there is a much larger audience that would click if only they didn't have access to the link from Facebook is, well, difficult to believe.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm been interested in FT but the price tag is a barrier to me. Hmm.
Unpacked, uncovered, documented, found. Deep seated, ingrained, established, systematic, breach non aligned, wrong, social societal, norms expectations laws, behaviours,

Please. Don't be that person. What did you think it meant? What specifically. Was without meaning. Not what do you disagree with: to even pose the question, you have to be literate and capable of reading. At this point your question is actually a statement. In other channels I'd say it more bluntly.
Bitcoin working properly = tool to lock in your value with a limited and deflationary currency. Each individual is incentivized to do this (as early as possible). Society as a whole is not, because it will create inefficiencies. Governments are not, because it takes away their economic levers.

Idk where this will go, but I will ride the bubble/pyramid.
Considering I've definitely been part of businesses which self information about some company back to them, I wouldn't be surprised if they just didn't.
If you want something in the vein of Diablo 2 but with a different aesthetic (and not always online) then try Torchlight 2.
>It’s quite hard for ambitious women in compsci, they have to walk a tight edge between firm and “motherly”.

Sounds like you're just projecting your own expectations onto them tbh
As a manager someone can disagree with me all they want, whatever i honestly don't care speak your mind. But the moment they start breaking company rules it starts to get into a problematic space, depending on the rule it can mean their judgement can't be trusted anymore and they will have to be let go. Some company rules are to meet legal requirements, and breaking legally required rules is an entirely different ballgame as your opening the company up to lawsuits and legal repercussions. Just because your smart and paid to critique doesn't mean you get to break the law, even if you, I, and the company disagree with it.
> In general, the wayland protocol is not the same as the X11 protocol and is probably not going to have all the same features implemented in the same way. If it was the same, it would be called the X11 protocol. From a user perspective it doesn't matter what the protocol is or how certain things are implemented, ultimately the only thing they care about is if the application works.

I feel this is the misunderstandng.

You're reasoning from a perspective of “applications”.

Most users who are unsatisfied with Wayland's capabilities are reasoning from a perspective of “utilities” and “functionality”.

Wayland indeed repræsents a move towards the “everything is an app” philosophy. The functionality that is left behind that is needed for the workflow of many are the programs that are not applications and in no way manifest a visual user interface but nevertheless are required for many users.
You're good :)

And I agree to a point, but miners are the ones that effectively run the network, and there aren't actually all that "many" of them. Without the existing miners willing to contribute the existing network would fall apart. PoS is an interesting situation because it technically makes the miners unnecessary, but obviously the miners are going to say "no" and just keep going with the existing Bitcoin. It would just create another Bitcoin Cash situation effectively, which is a lot less appealing than if everybody switched to PoS and left nobody using the old version.
Land-based ICBM forces can cost significantly less money to procure and maintain than an equivalent force of SLBMs or bomber-launched standoff missiles.

Also, both SLBMs and bomber-launched weapons are vulnerable to tactical countermeasures. Fast-attack submarines do routinely shadow patrolling ballestic missile subs, with a credible intent of attacking and destroying the missile subs if a wartime launch appears imminent. Both bombers and air-launched standoff weapons are vulnerable to interceptor fighters and ground-based SAMs... Whereas nobody has really managed to crack the problem of successfully intercepting a mass MIRVed ICBM attack in the terminal flight phase.

But the biggest issue is that we never really know whether our enemies have developed some new capability (be it technological, procedural, or intelligence-derived) that would critically compromise the effectiveness of a major weapons system. If we put all our eggs in one basket, we become more vulnerable to a catastrophic, war-losing breakdown like that.
That does put it into perspective. Perhaps one shouldn't be too quick to dismiss it outright.
Computer is great because it reminds me of Star Trek.

> I wonder if they are using the same backend servers as old client

To me it seems like the entire point of these remakes has been to kill off the classic Battle.net and get everyone on to the new Blizzard Launcher. The WarcraftⅢ remake made this especially apparent due to how much was promised but then cut before release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sURZZkQxru8
The original Diablo 2 could be played offline or with friends without using Battle.net, so those can be worked around.

I'm guessing with the "cross progression" system (whatever that means) that games will have to be on Blizzard's servers at all times to allow syncing and avoid cheating, hacks, and piracy.
At the same time, labs and researchers and equipment cost real money. There are opportunity costs. There some good reasons to not spend money on wild conjectures.
An entire generation is being raised on Chromebooks. I wish Boot2Gecko and Firefox OS weren’t a bit ahead of themselves and had better ugh marketing.
I think this article was written for a more medically/biologically literate audience than the typical HR member. It assumes a level of jargon and background knowledge. I think it’s reasonable to ask for a summary targeted towards the HR audience.
I find the license very confusing - does any dataset generated from the database have to be released freely to anyone who asks? Or is it only a customer that purchases the dataset? Where is the distinction between a product of the db and the db, which are subject to different terms? For anything which isn’t displaying a standard base map it is confusing.
Every time my kids die in a game, I ask them what happens. The answer is never: "I lost everything!"

I still haven't found anything quite like the feeling you get when you die in Diablo II hardcore.
I don't know. I agree it's probably a job-ending move in most cases, but until the details are available I'll withhold full judgement. Also has she confirmed this, or is it just what Google is claiming? If they simply want her gone, they're probably not above making a mountain out of a molehill.
> Never was a big fan of 3.

D3 was almost a cross between a cookie clicker game and D2. It's a good game if you ignore its name.
Not the OP and I didn't play UO, but I did play a peer game out at the same time, Asheron's Call. AC, UO, and of course EQ were the big 3 early MMOs.

Anyway, there was definitely more community back then, if only due to how there were basically no modern quality-of-life considerations. No auto-group finder, minimal instancing (no instancing?), loss of items on death... you had to lean on others to help you out and they would, because eventually they'd need your help.

A classic example is doing a corpse run to recover your items. In a modern MMO, you die and can rez at some convenient spot with all your items. No real loss or penalty for tough fights, no risk.

In AC, you lost xp on death, lost items on your corpse, and had to make your way back to your body to erase the xp penalty and get your stuff back. I think the timer was something like 3 hours before your corpse would decay and either anybody could loot your body or time items disappeared. I think UO and EQ were the same. Some of the most memorable corpse runs where when you lost your armor and had to get some friends to come with you since you were now half naked and perhaps weaponless.
Building the Software 2.0 Stack (Andrej Karpathy)
The point is that "exfiltrating thousands of sensitive files" can mean many things. It can mean, for example, downloading one's emails to have an independent record of them for fear of retaliation.

It can also mean stealing company IP to try and start a competitor.

Both may be equally forbidden by policy, but they're vastly different acts.
Absolutely the Apple Watch. It’s got more sensors than anything else and a much more mature developer experience.
Yes, it's opt-in: https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/black-owned.pdf
I used Keyboard Layout Editor to generate the files to send to a laser cutting service.
Who was Gebru replaced with? I couldn't find anything when I looked it up (ironically on Google).
Not unless the block sizes down, or the block times/ block/transaction relaying latency go way up. The great firewall of China might cause some issues, but in theory it should not get worse.
Btw, I think you can play a diablo 1 remaster inside of diablo 3. I think you can only do this at the beginning of a season reset though.
If Google releases a statement defending themselves, it's a "smear campaign". If Google remains silent, it would be evidence that they were wrong.
But if Apple says your product is overpriced it must really be overpriced.

Use a throwaway account. I graduated from a top university in China and then came to US to get my PhD and now work in bay area.

-Why people like Song would lie / conceal their identity to come to US?

Lot of Chinese people, esp among these with colleague education, and not brain-washed by government, actually think very high of US and their education system. It's not surprise a few of them would lie to get Visa. There are many online forum providing tips on how to "pass" Visa interviews.

BTW, inside China mainland, not speaking truth to government officials is not a big deal in the eye of many Chinese. In fact, being 100% truth with government officials is rare. Unfortunately, US visa officials sometimes are treated the same way as to Chinese government officials.

-Does Song have any concealed goal in US?

I do not think so. It's laughable to think Song trying to "steal" US research. Basic science research is all open. You can read Science / Nature / Cell / ... journals to know the latest research. And you can ask the authors on how to perform the experiments to reproduce their published results.

The goal of Song is almost surely personal: to get something good on her resume so she can have better career.
> If Facebook had a worthy competitor for example, surely you'll agree Facebook would be a considerably different product now.

No, I don't think I would. The vast majority of people are not going to leave facebook as long as they can't take their social contacts with them, and Facebook knows this. They'll let you have your pictures and videos, but the graph? No way, and they know most people won't leave entirely because recreating all those links is a large undertaking for most people. Even young people that originally shun Facebook as their parent's social network eventually join because the network effect is too large to ignore.

The fact that Facebook very quickly buys anything that looks like it might have a draw that could possibly affect this in any way doesn't help it. Neither does that they blatantly lied to congress about things they would/wouldn't do with some of these acquisitions when asked about it.
Sure let's spend it on what, MOD-ENCODE version two? That's super useful and curing cancer and tuberculosis left and right eh!
There's a quotation from Abraham Maslow that I really like, which I think is similar to your point.

> I am deliberately rejecting our present easy distinction between sickness and health, at least as far as surface symptoms are concerned. Does sickness mean having symptoms? I maintain now that sickness might consist of not having symptoms when you should. Does health mean being symptom-free? I deny it. Which of the Nazis at Auschwitz or Dachau were healthy? Those with a stricken conscience or those with a nice, clear, happy conscience? Was it possible for a profoundly human person not to feel conflict, suffering, depression, rage, etc.? In a word if you tell me you have a personality problem, I am not certain until I know you better whether to say "Good" or "I'm sorry". It depends on the reasons. And these, it seems, may be bad reasons, or they may be good reasons.

Am i the only one noticing all the Adolf Hitlers and the very nazi and obvious racist/misogynist content on ramble.pw? I'm glad they found a vuln & all, but why publish there of all places?

If you can call that irony, that message board was to my knowledge developed by/for anarchists (the exact opposite of ramble).
You can add Map Notes which aren't seen as threatening to the extent some apps that use OSM as their base map let their users directly send them in https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes
> This isn't to say you should be reading "dream interpretation" guides or speaking to interpreters.

The problem with using guides and interpreters is that you don't know whether they explain your unconscious associations, or just substitute their own.

If you interpret your own dreams, you can be sure that all associations were generated by your own brain. Maybe during the dream, maybe during the interpretation. Who cares; either way, it's about your brain.

My simple interpretation method is to write an outline of the dream, and to some words add an arrow and write what it reminds me of. Usually at least three things in the dream remind me of the same topic -- that is the core message of the dream.

Google only built the Ethical AI team to placate internal criticism of its attempts to sell AI tech to the Department of Defense and building a search engine for China with censorship built-in. They were supposed to be window-dressing, not actually rock the boat, so when they did they were culled.

Since they are not contributing to the bottom line, directly or indirectly, the disaffection in the team couldn't matter less to management. They cleverly appointed a black woman VP to neuter the group without the bad optics of the initial firing of Ms. Gebru, and I expect the remainder of the team will in the not-so-distant future be reassigned or let go, and replaced by a new cast of ethnically diverse yes-people who will produce lots of impressive-sounding papers but not any criticism of substance.
> We need to ask: is it always a good idea to make marginalized groups more visible? Whom does it benefit?

No it doesn’t. And I wish people would stop experimenting with this sort of thing and treating it as some sort of fad.

I grew up, as an immigrant from a Muslim country, in a white Republican suburb in the 1990s. And it was great. I can’t imagine what life would have been like today - constant reminders of the fact that you’re different, white teachers admitting they’re “gatekeepers of white supremacy,” using “whiteness” as a pejorative, etc. I’m fully developed and fluent in the language so I can tolerate it. But I’ve got kids and this is not the culture I want my kids to grow up in.

Leaving aside whether this stuff is right on the merits. There is a limited number of white people who will put up with a constant drone of being called “racist” and being blamed for things that happened before they were born. As these confrontational tactics continue, people’s patience will wear thin. And if it becomes more prevalent to treat kids different based in their skin color, such as Evanston’s proposal to keep white and Asian kids behind in remote learning while letting other kids go back in person, people’s patience will evaporate in an instant. And overstepping that tolerance will have real consequences for people of color.

When white people amplify this hyper-activist, in-you-face approach, they aren’t just drawing attention to a problem, they’re picking a particular solution. And because they comprise a majority and control the culture, they can impose an approach that people of color (who have to live with the consequences) don’t necessarily want. When you jump on board this bandwagon, you’re not just changing the culture for yourself. You’re not just changing the culture for activist POC you went to grad school with. You’re changing it for the blue collar worker who happens to be a POC. And you can bet that what kind of culture he wants to live in is not well represented in the academic and activist circles that dream up these approaches.
Online Misinformation Spreads
Eh, you can allocate a percentage of resources on wild conjectures, since many of our biggest discoveries have been made that way. No need to shut them down and ridicule them.
I'm very confused, if you don't need a visual user interface, why bother with a windowing system? Isn't the point of that to have visual user interfaces? What functionality is missing?
The DOM inspector view in Firefox predates Firebug by years. My memory might be a bit shaky, but it may even have existed in Mozilla Web Browser?

It really looked like a 'DOM tree/tree of Javascript classes' though, not really like the inspector we have today.
Not necessarily. It’s amusing to watch people get confused when the keys don’t do what the legends indicate.
Firing someone for being trans is prohibited federally now FYI. The Supreme Court said it discriminates on the basis of sex.[1]
