I do appreciate the looking out. Fortunately I have already left my own personal toxic situation, and went somewhere that respects my boundaries much better - and life is indeed much better. I'm not particularly resentful of it either, I learned a valuable lesson (and sometimes you need to touch the hot stove to realize that it'll burn you).

What my prior experiences with this have done is hardened my resolve that my own personal time is indeed 100% my own time. How I choose to spend it is none of the companies' business. Though it does seem like I'm still somewhat triggered by the word "passion" - it just seems like a nice way to beat around the bush for exploitation, especially when coming from those who stand to gain the most from your passion. My attitude now is a bit more cynical in that "what's in it for me" is front and center, and if I'm not satisfied with the answer I will move on.
To be precise, it's impossible to measure one-way latency between a pair of nodes without external information. But if you have a mesh of nodes, the story is different [1]. If you have N nodes and hence N unknown clock offsets, and if you have ping data from N(N-1) pairs, you can do better.

So he can't comment on it being a bad look even though he had no agency in the creation of the situation since that acknowledges topless, he can't attempt to ask no photos be taken since he knows the reality of his situation and that asking for it is admitting he recognizes that these woman are topless, he can't change the sitaution since you're saying its sexualizing to literally comment on anything pertaining to the situation. So basically nothing will satisfy you.

So, what, he should have lied down the in the fetal position and feigned dead?

Oh wait, that might be misconstrued as something about babies and woman. I guess lie face down, eyes closed, hands over ears and hope it all goes away.
> They got blowback from her attempt at exposing people’s preconceptions. They didn’t like it.

Yes, “actions that produced blowback that the company doesn't like” are the definition of a PR failure. When PR is your whole job, that's a big deal.

> Companies burry all kinds of misdeeds for their staff

You can't bury it when it is public and tied to both the employee and the company from the outset.

This comment was an aside about right wing news stories that pop up in the US about how Canadians are flocking to the US to get healthcare. It normally revolves around how some person was on a waiting list or couldn't get the procedure they wanted in Canada and had to come to the US. The truth is that there is normally an extenuating circumstance that isn't mentioned (e.g. the treatment is experimental or not approved in Canada. The patient is stuck on a wait list because it is a need-based system, so they might not 'need' that procedure more than the people ahead of them.)
OK, but that's when you make the decision not to buy it in the first place. I've managed to go my whole life without buying an Apple product because I always thought their products were kinda user-hostile and unfriendly to hacking/customization. On the other hand, I don't feel that Apple has any obligation to deliver the sort of product I want, when they have so many customers that actively prefer their walled garden/black box approach.

Occasionally I find myself thinking I'd like to own an Apple product, eg when I run across a cool iPad app or something, but this rarely persists longer than the few minutes it takes me to remember that I don't want to reorient around the Apple ecosystem.
You don't know enough about the title to comment on it until you know what it's describing. All your questions would have had obvious answers if you had done so. All the terms you raised FUD about were in fact being used in perfectly appropriate ways. So no one had to assume anything about your motive to conclude that your comment had negative value.
> Instead, the message they actually got from this conversation seems to have been more along the lines of 'this NYT reporter who is lecturing us about native ctures is throwing around the N word and claiming it's OK to use when he says it or something. This is uncomfortable and annoying'.

Only someone with limited thinking skills would come away with that message.

I'm not white, nor did I grow up in America, so what the fuck do I know, eh?
It seems you had a stroke. Here get help: The Stroke Family Warmline is a team of four people who answer calls from stroke survivors and their families, providing support and helpful information or just a listening ear. Call a toll-free number - 1-888-478-7653 to reach the Warmline team.
This seems to really stretch the word "system". A "systemic disadvantage" would be something like the test being rigged against you, or people of your racial group needing higher scores to get admittance (incidentally that's a systemic disadvantage Asians often face). In other words, there is an organized set of rules that give you a disadvantage, a system, if you will.

What you're describing seems less systemic and more naturally occurring. Nobody forces Asian families to put more emphasis on academics or black families to put less, that just tends to be the way things happen. If there is a system that encourages it I think it would only be the kind of "system" that could be anything.

Something like parental situation likely has a great deal to do with this and that's important to point out. For example, suppose that children raised by a single parent did worse academically, and suppose that 2/3 black families had only one parent compared to 1/5 Asian families. That's important to know because it means that to fix the problem we would need to encourage black people to stop creating single family homes rather than to force schools to stop educating white and Asian advanced students. I think this approach would result in a culture that spends less "D&I energy" on things like making sure school programs are exactly the right color and more on encouraging good behavior and explaining the problems of single parent families and how they can be avoided.
I don't think that's material. If we're talking about corporate policy on corporate-owned machines, employees shouldn't be complaining to IT that their favorite websites aren't working properly in Firefox. If they do, the canned IT response should always be "why are you doing personal tasks on your work machine?"

As long as the corporate/enterprise apps work on Firefox (which they should?), it's not a problem for a corporate IT department to ban Chrome.
Filter for starlink in the top left and set the speed at 200 or so.

Very interesting and entertaining. I’ve not been excited for a piece of tech in years but starlink has me on the edge of my seat. I can’t wait to get my equipment.
I found a recording [1], and it's clear to anyone who listened from the beginning that it was a radio drama. An announcer introduces Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air, and then after some intro music, Welles narrates a prologue. I suppose, though, that people joining the broadcast after that opening could have been fooled.

What is the actual debate? The magic n-word Im so offended by the sound fainting couch crowd seems to only be using it as an excuse to go after people they already don't like. Here's Joe Biden using the n-word in a quote yet not a peep from the re-evaluators of this cultural moment.

Possibly, though it's also possible that those who have paid into the University's endowment in the past are helping those who pay nothing.
I'm the developer of a Virtual Terminal web page which allows a merchant to accept credit card payments. I would love to turn-off autocomplete for the credit card details. The person using the Virtual Terminal wants to type in someone else's card number, not use their own every time.

The PCI-DSS council is partly to blame here, for recommending autocomplete=off in other contexts.
I had a call with a bank in Chicago where they apologized for not being able to do [a thing the McKenzie family needed done] because their branch was closed. I asked if they had closed again due to covid-19, because the site said that that branch had re-opened.

They said "Oh, no. We're back to WFH because our branched was torched."

I don't want to point fingers at the bank for social reasons, but I was flabbergasted, given that it is not in part of the city where a bank would consider itself at obvious risk during a suspension of the general prohibition against breaking into banks.
Thanks for compiling this list. Looks great. But, eight papers about Paxos and no mention of Raft?

Cash Flow Portal | Looking for Sales Account Executive| Fully Remote | https://www.cashflowportal.com

I am the Founder / CEO of Cash Flow Portal. Cash Flow Portal is an investor portal for real estate syndicators. It contains the system of record for a real estate syndication and helps automate a syndicator’s back office.

Who we are: We started in April, 2020 and are a very small, scrappy team consisting of 6 engineers, 1 designer and 1 copywriter. All our employees are remote.

Looking for: Folks who believe in the value and mission Cash Flow Portal and that we are actually the best solution for syndicators (also known as sponsors or general partners or GPs).

Day to day: We already have sourcing of customers ready. You will be following up with customers and schedule demos. And then close the deal during the demos.

Pre-requisites: You will be building out the sales automation using either HubSpot or close.com. You must have experience with an existing sales automation software already.

Logistics: All positions can be full-time W2s or contractors and with flexible hours. We accept CPT, OPT, and OPT extension. We will also help you apply for H1B if you need. At this point, we have not decided if we would apply for your Green Card application.

Salary: $35,000-$55,000 base. And then commission of each sale is generous. To give a sense, each contract is $5000/year and the commission is anywhere from 25/75 split to 50/50 split.

Feel free to email me at recruiting@cashflowportal.com with your resume and we’ll go from there!
I’m running a Xiaomi air filter. Not connected to wifi.

Even without wifi access it is vastly superior to previous choices. At similar pricing to my previous one.

I’m quite wary of the whole monitoring scene but my next air filter purchase will be a Xiaomi again.

Can’t really speak to their other products but on that front they have made a convert out of me despite my aversion to questionable data practices.

Also apparently it’s home assistant compatible. So HA it and firewall it off is the plan
> conspiracy theory

Sounds like a run-the-mill everyday business decision.
I typically type everything manually in long forms because the autofill tends to get something wrong every once in a while. It's like choosing to drive the car myself rather than trusting the self-driving feature.

I figure most people just tolerate wrong inputs and live with the results. (It doesn't happen that often.)
But hasn't it always been like that? Radical social/political views and any fringe stuff around sex and drugs has never had mainstream support or backing from big companies, basically by definition. And a lot of times it is straight up illegal. It has only ever survived by staying under the radar. And when it pops above the radar we get purity movements like the War on Drugs and the Parents Music Resource Center.

I think a lot of conservatives are mad about "cancel culture" because now they're being targeted by purity movements instead of the punks and freaks and hippies and queers. I say tough shit. Overall, the realm of acceptable discourse has expanded considerably and is arguably larger today than ever before. If they think their particular viewpoints are being unfairly suppressed, then do what everyone else did and go underground and do the work of bringing your views to the mainstream.
They aren't already?
Not being fucking fired, for one. Seems like a pretty bad faith sentiment. Not everyone fares as well finding work after cancel-culture has its way.

> This should have been caught at a security review stage during design, it should have been caught at the code review stage, it should have been caught by automated tests, it should have been caught by QA, it should have been caught once live by data tests, it should have been seen once live by analysts, it should have been fixed at so many different points.

Seems more likely this was done on purpose so if they got caught they could say "Junior engineer made a mistake. So sorry."
I think the purpose of autocomplete="off" is to allow an (honest, well-meaning) web site to tell a browser, "I know you think this looks like an address field, but it really isn't".

Unfortunately, in reality, it's probably more often used to force users to type things in for misguided "security reasons".

I think browser UI for this is generally just bad. I think forms should never auto-fill, but when I click on a form field, it should give me a dropdown to select text to put in just that field. Not that field plus all other fields in the form. Just that field. Then you don't have privacy issues (because the site never sees the autocomplete options unless the user actively selects one), and autocomplete="off" becomes unnecessary.
I'm sure they (governments of any sort) like this as a side effect

> I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this is being stoked by robots. Perhaps corporate or state actors.

I have always believed that a platform should verify identities and have a zero-tolerance for bots if we (as a society) are to trust any information coming from that platform. This is not to say that platforms that don't do these things should not exist but that we should not take them as seriously as we do today. Unfortunately, this completely goes against the business model of many of these social media companies.
Yes, that factored in as another reason it was a good analogy.
That has always been the case, and it used to be far worse when the entire media landscape was controlled by a couple dozen conglomerates. Being underground/subversive means you don't make a lot of money. If you want to make money do what everyone else does... sell out.
I mean, the comment is largely examples of actions the DOJ or FTC could take, so I'm not sure what your comment is trying to prove.

An example would be what was done with AIM. As a condition of AOL merging with Time Warner, AOL had to agree to allow competitors to interoperate with AIM: https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/aol-near-release-of-in...

Many of the other potential actions are similar to those already proposed or imposed upon Google in various European or other international jurisdictions. Though some of the search engine choice screen options have proven ineffective, and if the US wants to carry that forward, they might need to prohibit auctioning off the slots or other methods that just serve to add to Google's revenue at the expense of everyone else.
In my experience, motorcycle insurance will be about a 20% the cost of car insurance, so it's still a lot cheaper.

70 mpg is also pretty nice.
> As long as the corporate/enterprise apps work on Firefox (which they should?)

They have even less of a reason to support Firefox. I used to work on an partially enterprise (well, government) program. We dropped Firefox support for it because it was easier to tell the client to just install Chrome. And the complexity of enterprise software means that that will always be easier for the client as well than switching.

However, those were circuit-switched, not packet-switched. (At least for a while.)
The fact that you go to the word “hypocritical” makes me think we’re already in agreement on the basic point. I’m not trying to make a value judgement here.

Go look at these arguments about confederate statues. Liberals condemn the moral faults of the person. Conservatives excuse it as values of the time; moreover they appeal to the virtue the society has chosen for the statue to represent. There’s nothing more post modern than that.

From your post, it seems your view is that conservatives adopted these tools because they are the tools of an oppressed minority, which conservatives now perceive themselves to be. I think that very well might be the right explanation. But I also wonder if this shift is more of a demographics thing. Post modernism can’t be the young, hip mindset for the rest of human history. I wonder if young people today are carving out some new view of the world, which is far more interesting to me than arguments over celebrity Twitter accounts.
"The design of eCNY borrows only a few minor technical elements from Bitcoin and does not use the so-called blockchain technology, a ledgerlike system, which most cryptocurrencies rely on, officials from the People’s Bank of China have said."
Well I think we need to distinguish between practical latency measurements on earth, where it's mostly a matter of rejecting dodgy data / outliers etc.., and detecting systematic latency bias that is theoretically impossible to detect.
If you could get around this problem just by using a network of N nodes, then you could do stuff like measuring an absolute reference frame, thereby violating special relativity.

Someone hasn't tried hypnosis...

Your conscious mind has very limited capacity, yes, but your unconscious mind has much much greater capacity. You can learn to think with your whole mind and develop preternatural speed (as well as a bunch of other cool capabilities, like being able to induce catatonic trance in just part of your body, enhanced memory, etc.) This takes the form of fast reflexes (a mug gets knocked off the table but you catch it before it hits the floor) and reduced susceptibility to surprise. Additionally, you can tap into the unconscious mind and "offload" thinking, as it were. For example, when playing chess you don't have to think about it, you "just know" which moves to make. The thinking is still happening but it's unconscious so, like all unconscious processes (by definition), you don't feel it.

Anyway, I have no real idea why hypnosis isn't more widely studied and practiced, but using it it is certainly possible to increase your thinking rate. FWIW, the hypnosis books I recommend are: "TRANCE-formations" by Bandler and Grinder, and "Monsters and Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis?" by Heller.

Have you seen CUDA? It's C++, where half of it runs on the CPU, and half of it runs on the GPU. Memory transfers are automatically scheduled for you! No, obviously the hardware doesn't magically transform when you run a CUDA program, but there's a lot of features in the hardware that just aren't exercised by compute shaders, and the 'user-space host driver' is very different.

> Also, I the case of "asynchronous shaders" it's a command list dispatching feature, which is equally applicable to CUDA/ROCm and compute shaders.

Async compute affects how you have to synchronize your code, and what your hazards are. If you have a queue of items, you know when one starts that the other is done. With async compute, you can give up that guarantee in exchange for overlapping work. NVIDIA still doesn't have this in modern GPUs.
I agree with that as well.
Taken a look through http://www.pouet.net/ ?

I would hope that I might be given a chance to rip their mobile (cell) to shreds. I remove the GPS related stuff. Then I try to fit those bits down the barrel of a needle. The battery (cell really) would probably get stuck.

That would not convince anyone that believes in the conspiracy, since of course Bill Gates would not use an off the shelf GPS chip, he created an all new needle-sized chip in his secret laboratory.

It's impossible to fight a conspiracy based on magic technology by presenting facts since in their mind, that magic technology already exists even if they don't fully understand how it works.
