Interesting thought, it would seem to follow that those less effected by social shaming might find themselves at a evolutionary advantage over those that are greatly effected. For example those who ignore prohibitions on premarital sex may have more children overall.
Did you miss the entire parallel plot in that book about Purdue Pharma lying to pill mill doctors to get pain patients hooked on their "nonaddictive" opioid product? The Sackler family created the demand that those "enterprising" Mexicans fulfilled.

Seems like a weird flex. I’ve bootstrapped a few profitable businesses and the last place I want to be is a sweat shop like Amazon. If I’m going to grind as hard (or harder) than I did to get what I’ve got I want my share of the rewards.
Ok, that's interesting. I don't follow this:

> What specific positions (or even total account value) I hold in my various accounts is not required for the IRS to compute my taxes.

How can they compute your financial gains without knowing your portfolio changes? (sorry I'm not american and thus my preconceptions of how do you do taxes are weird for you).

I can't be the only one thinking this is just a handout to the telecoms, and they will somehow find a loophole where they won't do anything for that money. We've done this before, and it hasn't worked out well.
How does schema evolution (versioning) work? Can you add fields to a struct and still be able to read data written by older versions?

Oh here we go, tucked away under "Tradeoffs" in the docs:

> rkyv is designed primarily for loading bulk game data as efficiently as possible. While rkyv is a great format for final data, it lacks a full schema system and isn’t well equipped for data migration.

This is a pretty important thing to call out upfront, especially when comparing against other serialization frameworks where this is considered a table stakes feature. Yes, there's a fine argument to be made that some use cases may prefer speed and simplicity over the ability to ever modify the schema, but users really need to understand that this is the trade off they are making.
Yes, thank you. A handful of years back i realized every huge startup's new product was 90% empty air. Ie, startups would bite off more than they could chew - even huge startups.

Doing one thing well is so much better to me than 100 things poorly. And there's still a ton of complexity and work to do the one thing well, usually. Be it integrations, sub features, whatever - i vastly prefer a full experience with a narrow scope than a "out the door" experience with a huge scope.
And where do you think that "new" comes from? I guess my phrasing is poor so I should have been clearer: elements in kernel LLs generally came from a kmalloc, even though the LL functions don't use a malloc themselves.
I dunno if you've got the math right here. A thousand units is enough to pay one junior engineer on an ongoing basis (assuming tier 1 or tier 2 US city). You still have to pay marketing and other costs. AFAICT you probably need a minimum of 3k subscriptions to break even. If they can't break even then their business isn't worth much, even if it has a couple thousand subscribers.

No shot they are selling millions of these. But tens of thousands seems within the realm of possibility, and it would be a very profitable small enterprise if they managed it without a huge marketing budget.
Is that the default meta key? If so then thanks. I've had a really hard time getting that info from emacs users so I haven't been able to try it.

Yes, the internet has some "wonders", and I appreciate them greatly. (If I didn't think it had value, I wouldn't have spent the last decade-plus of my life working on internet-related software and standards.)

However, it also has a huge amount of toxic garbage, by no means restricted to a few "social media" sites.

Whether we can stem the deluge of junk, so that the average person's experience of the internet is actually a net positive, seems uncertain at this point. I don't think we've yet figured out how to manage this.
It amounts to about a $150 dollar a year tax (more with the more children you have). Only, the tax goes to 13,000 producers, so it's a regressive tax that penalizes the poor.

I'm philosophically opposed to government regulation in some instances. To me some regulation is an obstacle to making a well-informed choice. If my choice does not harm others then let me make the choice. I do not want someone making the choice for me because some people might make the wrong choice.

Sounds like Amazon wrote this article
I come myself from middle class Brahmin family in Maharashtra, have a engineering degree from a mediocre school in Maharashtra. If at all I witnessed something negative is snobbishness from people who graduated from better school than me. I have been in silicon valley for over 25 years now. I worked in 2 startups and 4 mega corporations/public companies with friends/superiors/colleagues (some of whom are Brahmin IIT graduates) from various parts of India - I personally never asked anyone's last name to find their caste and neither I witnessed anyone making any derogatory remarks about anyone's caste/religion. I have never experienced or seen any of this that is being reported in this article. It is truly shameful and disgusting if it is happening now or before. Let's stop this right now and right away!
My experience, as an outsider who used to visit colleagues in India regularly, is that it's quite prevalent but very tricky to talk about. It's an understandably sensitive topic. There's obviously a lot of variation, both according to a person's own position within that structure and (I've heard) different parts of the country. Nonetheless, it's hard to miss the visible differences between the people working in a tech office and the people cleaning it, or the people doing manual construction labor, or the people begging. And it's not much harder to notice how they interact with each other.

It's also hard to dismiss caste as an ongoing issue when you find out that all but two out of 50+ engineers you worked with is Brahmin. (I only found that out through the one colleague who was close enough and open-minded enough to discuss such things with me BTW.) Ditto when you find out that one of those two exceptions had been repeatedly passed over for promotion despite being twice as skilled as some of those who were promoted. Once you start looking, the patterns become clear.

When considering these issues from outside, though, it's important to realize how entangled they are with another aspect of Indian culture: high context. Even among people of the same caste, there's a strong idea of social position and "right behavior" with respect to that. Whenever we very-senior Americans came to visit, the jockeying over who was invited to meetings and who was allowed to speak in them was almost comical. Often, the person speaking was clearly unfamiliar with work that had been done by someone more junior. That was considered quite normal.

There was also a darker side. On two separate occasions, people I had formed strong working relationships with were completely shunned by most of their local colleagues because they were perceived as "jumping the queue" by associating with me. After that, I started paying attention to these relationships. If I wanted to speak directly with the junior person who had actually done some work, I made sure to do it as discreetly (even secretively) as possible. I wouldn't mention it to their status-conscious seniors; instead I'd send feedback directly to top-level people who did their reviews and knew how to handle such sensitive communication properly.

Please note that I'm not criticizing Indians here. Having seen how my fellow Americans treat "outsiders" even without an ancient caste system, I doubt that many of them would do better within one. But there are definitely differences in social behavior (the "never say 'no'" thing is another) that anyone working with many Indians either in India or elsewhere would do well to learn.

As someone who has never owned a Blackberry, can you explain what this means?

BlackBerry funnelled everything - email, BBM, tweets, Facebook messages, whatever - into a unified interface. Basically you didn’t need to care where a message came from, you saw it all in one place and could just reply from there. You would not need to check one app for email, another for IMs, another for tweets etc.
“Adobe has released a new version of Creative Suite optimized for Apple’s M1.” You don’t even really need to invoke the concept of architectures to understand “it was slower on the M1 before; now it’s faster, because Adobe did work to focus on support for it.”
Yeah I agree it's not good. I was disturbed enough to hear about "at will" rules in the US and that seems like more of the same.

I think there would be a lot of noise in the press about it here, but I don't think riots in the streets would be part of it!
I don't disagree with your general premise, but expecting rides home is not very uncommon in India in my experience. Ridesharing/dropping colleagues off at home if it's on the way is pretty common.

True, but these are relatively rare requirements for a data container. My point isn't that LLs are totally useless but it seems like they'll see relatively little use if the goal is "no allocations at all".

I think this is more a testament to the quality of Adobe's GPU pipeline (or lack thereof). M1's GPU is surprisingly capable for a 10W part, and more importantly, it supports low-latency CPU/GPU communication and opt-in memory page sharing. The later is especially interesting for creative software, as CPU and GPU can work on the same data structure, eliminating the need for copies or GPU buffer management. Knowing Adobe however, it's probably most likely that they are still using OpenCL, so the lack of performance is not surprising.

P.S. Or maybe the GPU test is simply memory bandwidth limited...
>Like the terms "urban", or "big government", or "states' rights", or "law and order". Completely "neutral phrases" that are often used to communicate a hidden message with plausible deniability.

These are terms used earnestly in neutral ways by academics, professionals and bureaucrats from all over the political spectrum. Does anyone seriously thing the NHTSA or some sociology professor is dog whistling when they use words like "urban environments" or "law and order"?

Yes, you can communicate a hidden message with them but you can communicate a hidden message with damn near any words in the english language if you want to.

Similar to what we have here. Only I don't think it common they check your credit score for a job application. Only when you want a new loan (mortgage, credit card, buy on credit, etc). You can also query the information yourself and see who requested access to it in the past months.
"For me the answer was clear. I wanted to take care of my children and give them opportunities I never had. I wanted to continue to enjoy my marriage. I wanted to take care of my health and I wanted to have a career where I could build and sell with autonomy."

So you then did the opposite of securing that, including the option to only work 2 hours a day, and went to work for Amazon? I mean, weird choice to be honest.

Someone else already said it, and I have been on a 12hr a day 6 day a week grind for a few months now, if I'm going to bust my ass I want to reap those rewards, which includes expanding the types of companies I can build, not giving it up to go work for Amazon.

M.2 on a Raspberry Pi – The Tofu CM4 Carrier Board
Ever try listening to NPR in recent years? It is really approaching the point of self parody. I would say that at least 80% of NPR "stories" have an explicitly stated racial angle and probably greater than 90% have a gender or race angle. It is literally almost the only thing NPR commentary and analysis segments talk about these days. Yes racism is bad. No it is not reasonable that every single segment is about how supposedly blacks, transgender blacks, illegal immigrants, etc, are victims. Even in coronavirus coverage it is all about race and a particular race at that. There is very little mention of anti-Asian hate crimes (often by blacks) almost no mention of interesting race facts, like the fact that Filipino American nurses were far more likely to die of Covid than other ethnic groups. Instead arcane stories, like African Americans in general are afraid of vaccines and that is okay because of the Tuskeegee experiments 50-60 years ago are aired.

Again racism is bad. But when CNN or NPR is spending a huge, gigantic amount of their airtime covering racial issues every single day it is a little perplexing. It would make sense if the goal was to manufacture racial tension as distraction from real issues. Maybe it is. If you constantly focus on the outrage of the day you can ignore the slow boiled frog of rising economic inequality over the past 20 years.

I am seriously interested in a study that quantified the number of NPR news analysis stories that contain explicit commentary on race in 2020. I bet it is over 80% meanwhile the black share of the population is around 12%. Seems to me it would make sense to have the number of stories more proportional to that.
I didn’t assume that nor say what you’re saying I did. You’re doing exactly what I just said to minimize what you’re interpreting as a personal attack. I said people who mount those cultural hills to fight upon them tend to calculate their values that way.

Fighting on social media is known to be pointless by most people. It is not the steady state of human nature. To keep doing it, and to do it passionately, the cause must be deemed important enough to consider throwing more shit into a pile of shit worthwhile within a limited lifespan, and that value calculus usually results in the moral framework I point out. It wasn’t even my main point; it was to counter the notion that these arguments pay any respect to civility or diplomacy (I mean, look even here).

Nobody worth listening to disagrees that those are extremely important issues within our societies. Some of us believe throwing bricks at each other in comments is counterproductive and don’t subscribe to partisan politics over real social issues. Calling someone’s views problematic, particularly when it’s a restating of their original point, is otherizing and is not a path to influencing people (roughly akin to “you’re on the wrong side” without explaining why).

Put it this way: one is either waging these cultural arguments to influence the viewpoint they find disagreeable or to remove that viewpoint from the discussion. There is no third option. If the approach is “that idea is problematic,” implicitly that tack supports concluding that the goal is removal, which undermines tackling those real social issues by driving the alternative opinion to darker corners where nobody is left to influence them in the direction you’re hoping.

Now look around in general and tell me I’m wrong.
Isn't crypto ridiculous too? Rai stones look objectively more sensible and they are ridiculous.

I'm not saying the technology is ridiculous, I'm just saying the overall implementation and outcomes would look like a madness to someone from the past or indeed the future.
That's why you have multiple availability zones. Those are the physically separate locations that you have visibility into and can spread your infrastructure across. Having multiple data centers in a single availability without visibility into where your systems are is fairly useless. And if you do have visibility then you now simply have more availability zones so why bother renaming things.
My understanding is that many people don't directly ask about caste any more, but they'll actively try to figure it out based on your last name or "innocuous" questions about where you're from, what schools you went to, dietary habits, etc. Is that not so?

What's objectionable?

After 5 seconds, it does the exact thing which I expected it to after only looking at the titles of his other videos. Grossly misrepresenting positions to make them look similar enough to "both sides" the issue so he can present himself as an "enlightened centrist" but really is looking to quiet people who would call him out on his problematic opinions.

It's a lot like your "assumption". You're trying to present your position as a "gee golly jeez, I'm just asking questions" being sort of overly, even comically naive about content you wish others to consume.

You're also asking people to be able to refute the entire video or not voice their objections. To ignore the context of the channel. Blah blah blah. The entire "foot in the door" approach to radicalization.

I personally don't believe your claim that you don't watch the channel. Otherwise, why even post a disclaimer? The only reason to post a disclaimer is because you kind of know what to expect from his channel. Either because the video itself is telling (it is) or you know what the rest of the content of the video would show (not great).

So please, stop with the disingenuous positions. A good number of people here are savvy enough to see through it.
