And the alternative is what?
Because it's abstract. The people aren't _actively_ having to do anything, such as hand over their records - it's happening away from them. It's hard to connect with abstract.

It's easier for people to connect with the reason _for_ doing it. Stop the terrorists, it may happen to you, etc. But the other way round is harder because it's invisible and you can live your life without caring. Even the warnings fall on deaf ears because "come on, you're being irrational" or "meh, doesn't affect me".

This is factually inaccurate in a variety of ways.

> The paper was submitted late.

This is not true. The paper was submitted for internal review with about the median amount of notice. The normal internal review process was and is usually very quick, it is not normally a weeks-long back and forth. Importantly, the paper actually passed the normal review process before being submitted to the conference.

> there was a special go/no-go review

It's unclear to what extent the special review was a go/no-go review. It may have been. The review however was not due to the paper being submitted late. As far as I know the special review was actually only done retroactively, after the paper had been submitted externally and approved by the normal internal process.

> If the paper was good it could go through the process and be ready for the next conference.

Even after submission for conference review, there was ample time for back and forth and review internally. Timnit asked if there was feedback she could incorporate into the paper, as even after the paper was submitted to the conference, they could revise it. Google's response was initially to not provide any specific feedback, and then to say that the feedback could not be addressed, the paper could only be unsubmitted.

> Nobody is seriously suggesting that those words were axed forever.

Actually yes, that appears to be precisely what happened.

This seems like a collection of shortcut remappings instead of a general window key to ctrl remap. That means that for example if Ctrl+p is not remapped, you can't use the win key.

I have an ahk script that's have a more general approach which maps window key to ctrl. It also remap the text navigation and mac style window switching.

Don't know why you're downvoted because you're absolutely right. Just because some very large C++ projects can take hours to build, I'd say this is not true for the majority of projects.
But it's reasonable. Domains are already surprisingly confusing to people. Emoji in a domain piles on top of that when people have no clue that's possible. Plus it makes it more difficult to communicate the address verbally and it can be hard or even impossible to enter the address in some systems.
Since the parent post was from an Emacs user: I have to disagree.

As an Emacs user, I've loved having a foot-pedal. The foot-pedal is superfluous in Vi because Vi is already modal; the foot-pedal is great in Emacs because it adds modality, kinda. Copying a post I made on Reddit a while ago:

> I found that my brain didn't want to treat the pedals like it did keys--it wanted to treat them modally. I wasn't pressing control, I was entering control-mode. I wasn't pressing shift, I was entering caps-mode. Which works out, because it isn't the quick keystrokes that cause the most strain, it's holding the modifier with one finger while the rest of the hand moves around. I wouldn't use the footpedal Control for the usual quick C-f/b/n/p, but it's great for holding Control as you C-s through a document.

50 or 60 Hz AC, especially 3-phase, makes it really easy to build and operate electric motors, too, and to transform between different voltages.

The OP’s argument is that solar power generation, plus the fact that most electrical consumption is now fundamentally DC-friendly (LEDs, electronics, electric cars, etc.), may change the equation. The concept of a whole-house rectifier is an interesting one, and something that is already used in some data centers. You still have the problem of different electronics wanting different voltages, though...

Good stuff! A software business is a business first. But for engineers, it's easy to think software is the most important part.
What I would actually do for your company on a day to day basis is very iterative with the IDE, API reference, unit tests and actual performance correcting me 20 times in ten minutes, allowing me to avoid all pitfalls and synthesize new pitfalls to avoid.

What I would do during your interview is performance theatre and it would tell you nothing. I would lie to you about whether I have seen the problem you presented before, because I would only be there because I was on an interview-circuit with every interviewer that thinks they are so clever and hasn't changed their question for years and I recycle and adapt answers, and for you, the answer to your question is probably listed verbatim on Blind, Glassdoor or Leetcode forums about your company and role.
Jacques Ellul is extremely relevant to runaway technology problems we have today. For those unfamiliar, think Unabomber Manifesto without the crazy murderous stuff. Glad to see him referenced. The Technological Society is a must read for anyone who claims to think about the ethics of technology.
Sure, in an ideal world. But economies of scale do exist and everyone having solar panels and expensive personal batteries remain difficult and not a viable solution compared to the larger, distributed system that allows people to draw what they need when they need it.
Given that we all haven’t been obliterated by nukes, it does seem your argument seems to argue against your own premise. We will probably be fine even if we inexplicably create superior intelligence. Besides? Who’s to not say that the best course of action an infinitely intelligent being would choose is to just switch itself off given the futility of everything?

If you cut some words out of a newspaper and a person writes words in those blanks then what has happened? If we cut out parts of a painting and a person paints in those blanks then what has happened? How is the person who wrote in the blanks or the person who painted in the blanks changed by writing or painting in the blanks? How are they changed when someone responds to what they've written or painted? How did the original writer or painter come to write and paint what was later blanked out?

You have just never done a responsive design. Inline styles can't be overridden on screen size and having all the styles hidden behind a random class name makes it hard to figure out what's being specified but if class names tell what styles are applied, you don't have to go edit part of a css just to change margin size.

Pirates don't pirate because they can get it cheaper. Some do, but not by and large. If that was the case, streaming services wouldn't have become a multi billion dollar a year industry that revolutionized the music, movie and TV industry. I guarantee you every single 30 something with a Netflix account had limewire or bearshare or something on their computer as teenagers, but now they don't, because the money was never the prime motivator.

Pirates pirate because of bad UX, which Netflix solved for them and others copied, which the entire industry now seems hell bent on breaking again. And they think their size and the DMCA and the learning curve to pirating nowadays can prevent it from happening, so sure, let's abuse our customers now that we think they can do nothing about it. But this will fail. If it is easier to learn how to use torrents and mega and whatever else than it is to navigate the plethora of services to find what you want (at the current rate we will need TV Guide again soon) and call your girlfriend at work to get the 2fa code they just sent to her phone, people will do it.
> The post-cable/satellite TV revolution has tripled my costs from what it used to be.

Huh. You must have had a really great deal on that nonspecific cable/satellite. Every time I’ve looked at TV packages since before streaming services even existed, it was $50/mo before various fees and at least $70 on the bill, just for basic cable.
> AFAIK DRI3 is also Linux-only and is not supported on any X server outside of Linux.

So? I never said I cared about the portability of low-level rendering software. It's not like anyone cares that Xenocara and the aperture driver only work on OpenBSD, for example.

> Screen multiplexing is specific to the compositor and not really something you can farm out to a library, which is the same as composited X where the compositor process takes over the entire screen and handles all the rendering.

Hold up. Isn't screen multiplexing and compositing exactly what libwayland gives a program the power to do? You'd build and run a compositor (like Sway, or like Kwin), and it fulfills compositing, screen multiplexing, and so on, as well as IPC, window management, hotkeys, screenshots, etc.

At least with X, these were separate programs you could mix and match.

> It would be interesting if someone combined an X server with a Wayland server like you described, but I don't think it would be useful.

I'd find it useful. I don't care if no one else does, since I'm writing this for myself.

> A lot of your legacy applications would still be broken, for example no old clients or window managers are rendering using DRI3.

I'd add the necessary compatibility code for the programs I need to run. I'd add them in a way that, if others wanted to fork my code, they could easily restore their own legacy code paths.

> If you want to design an extension for client isolation, the problem there isn't that X doesn't have that but that the existing methods don't really work well.

Sounds like a problem with the particular extension, not X11.

> My suggestion there would be to talk to any desktop environments to find out what their requirements are,

Don't care. I'm not doing this for them. I don't use any of them, and they're all dead to me at this point. I'm doing this to keep my minimalist X11 window manager and X11 clients, and to satisfy my intellectual curiosity.

Yes, you absolutely still need to know how CSS works. You're still using the box model, you're still using floats and flexbox and negative margins to position things, and the most important aspects of cascading still work.

Tailwind is just shorthand for CSS prop/value keys that also gives you an easily customizable and maintainable design system, which an increasing number of developers understand. That means that you can be productive immediately on a new codebase instead of having to spend hours getting your head around the multitude of CSS files that may or may not have been organized in a way that makes sense to you.
Aren't expired/expiring domains that are auctioned off, that happens quickly, no? Like days to weeks? So they do go back into the available pool unless someone actually buys it.

On a slightly related note: does anyone else map caps lock to control (and vice-versa)?

I’ve never really understood why caps lock gets a huge key in the middle of the keyboard, while control gets a regular-sized key at the bottom. Generally speaking, caps lock is used much less than control.

I think you should rephrase your statement.

Stealing/theft requires the misappropriation of goods/services that can not be replaced. I.e. once they are gone you do not have them. A real world example of this is stealing a DVD.

Copyright infringement is the unauthorized copying of something. The original good is still around, but someone has made a copy. A real world example of this is copying a dvd that you borrowed from a friend.

Torrenting is copyright infringement as you never had a right to the content (unless you owned the original DVD).

Streaming in my opinion different, you have been given access to a paid stream that is password and drm protected. Netflix is still getting paid. They give you n streams for $/month.

Netflix's TOS says that is against their rules, but they also don't implicitly ban it...

Edit: p.s. I am not a lawyer
In the EU, the issue with checks doesn't exist.

SEPA direct debit is the usual setup for places where you'd expect to be able to pay via credit card (regardless of fees), and for e.g. small landlords you just set up a recurring SEPA push transfer (basically like ACH push, but free for normal consumer accounts) to the landlords account.

And for direct debit, you can technically just keep an eye out for unauthorized ones (they need to be shown to your bank 5 days in advance) and tell your bank to stop them before they debit your account.
But AFAIK it's the bank(s) that owe you the money, though they can in-turn try to claw it back from whoever debited your account without authorization.

Really, the worst one can do with an IBAN is trolling by spamming transfers to it or signing it up for direct debits (and I'd expect that to cause me at most 1 bank day of no funds, while waiting for my bank to reverse a fraudulent debit).
But the impact of the latter is limited (just set up a whitelist with your bank and have them auto-reject the spam), while the former is fairly costly (around 20~30 ct with the accounts that don't do fair-use throttling) and quite risky (harassment and KYC).
That sounds terrifying

Big tech companies who have huge D&I directives will just hire any BIPOC/minority they can to fill their quotas, culture fit or not (most Bay Area cultures are far-leftist, so they'll assume BIPOCs are on their side). They don't call them quotas, but they have "quarterly and yearly targets" to get to 30% BIPOCs, etc.

Executive compensation is tied to how many BIPOCs they can shuffle in the door. Imagine being the diversity hire so a corporate multi-millionaire could keep his year-end bonus.

No, this happens if the particular Wayland compositor you're running the program on happens to implement a Wayland protocol or extension you use in a "unique" way that causes your app to break. This wan't a problem with X.org because all distros used the same X.org (or, if they used an older X.org, and if that led to breakage, the solution for users was always the same: upgrade X.org).

I already explained above why "just use a popular toolkit" isn't a viable solution. Users do not care whose fault it is; all they care about is that your app used to work in KDE and now it doesn't in GNOME (the problem is even worse in Wayland than I'm letting on, because with Wayland, the DE controls the compositor and renderer -- there are so many more ways for the DE-specific code to interfere with the graphical program than there was with X.org).
I don’t disagree, but that is in fact how it works!
...it’s not my reasoning. I’m explaining why some postmodern writers say they have that style. Personally I think it can be hit or miss.

Planets ? Who cares about planets when building a Dyson swarm - other the possibly as a bootstrap cache of materials to get thing going.

Yeah, you might occasionally leave one in place for historical reasons, but otherwise they are just too useless not to make use of their mass for something better. Not to mention traffic management headaches given that normal planets usually stubbornly refuse to do any orbit corrections when needed.
Because all your DC appliances use low voltage. Low voltage requires thick cables at long distances: For example, look at how thick auto battery cables are. Wiring a house with cables that thick is absurdly expensive.

In theory, we could use high voltage DC, but then each appliance will still need something to drop the voltage.

I personally like how USB is becoming the low voltage standard. You can find outlets with USB built in.
This is absolutely untrue. All of my colleagues and friends put up with corporate SV crap the same way they'd put up with bank / insurance company crap only for the pay.

If a bank were paying SV salaries to do COBOL programming on a mainframe, I'd jump for it, honestly.

If pure CSS is like cement - form it however you like, but you need to do it over and over again, and Bootstrap is like those colored wooden building blocks children used to play with - you get your standard shapes and that's it, but most easy to use, than Tailwind is like Lego - you can't form freely like with cement but have enough freedom to build creative designs based on *given* standard building blocks.

That's how Tailwind won me over.

Sooner or later most design-devs (devs doing design as well) end up using some kind of utility classes. Using Tailwind from the start saves some serious amount of effort and provides a standard across projects and teams.
This often makes me think, what would happen if the authorities suddenly instituted something that actually wasn't trivial to bypass?

There are smart people working for them, why do they keep bringing in this stuff that doesn't actually have an effect against the baddies?

Is it possible that they are self-sabotaging because they actually realize they don't want to live in the world they are rushing headlong towards? Or is that giving them too much credit?
I'm not being obtuse. I'm trying to help you present a testable hypothesis. You've done a good job at explaining the "who" and the "why", but you haven't given any examples of "what" these Tesla shorts are doing to promote nuclear power. I tried giving some possible examples of actions they might plausibly take to promote nuclear power.

Without any verifiable examples of things Tesla shorts are doing to promote nuclear power, your statement comes across as a conspiracy theory.
