> Like generally there's a lot of disability chic or identity these days; but moderate autism makes it incredibly hard to act in daily life in the same way moderate OCD does.

Are you familiar with the concept of broad autism phenotype (BAP)? A person who has more autistic traits than the average person, but not enough traits (or are not sufficiently impaired by those traits) for an ASD diagnosis, has BAP. Someone who thinks they–or someone else–has ASD in the absence of a formal diagnosis–if they are wrong about the person having ASD, they probably are actually picking up on the person's BAP traits.

And how does the experience of BAP and ASD differ? Well, they are just different positions on a continuum–people with BAP have similar experiences to people with ASD, albeit with less intensity and/or less impairment. And the line between them is unclear and subjective, different clinicians draw it in different places–whether you end up with the diagnosis can depend on factors that have nothing to do with you personally, such as the diagnostic practices and clinical culture of the clinicians you end up seeing. (And the line is moving – a lot of people diagnosed with ASD today would not have received that diagnosis if they'd presented with the same symptoms 20 or 30 years ago.)

Stressful environments often exacerbate people's autistic traits and interfere with their own strategies for managing them. A series of stressful life events can lead a person to a situation in which they end up being diagnosed, whereas if their life had taken a more leisurely turn they might never have been diagnosed – even if their innate traits are exactly the same in the two scenarios. One of the key criteria for diagnosing ASD (criterion D) is clinically significant dysfunction, and dysfunction is highly environmentally determined (unsupportive environments result in far more dysfunction than supportive ones given the same underlying condition)

> If it's significant enough, it's not just someone being brisk or unempathetic in the same way OCD doesn't mean being a neat freak.

BAP is subclinical ASD. Subclinical OCD is also a subject of study, although unlike BAP it doesn't have a distinctive name. A lot of "neat freak" people may actually have subclinical OCD. And subclinical OCD and clinical OCD are on a continuum with each other, with a subjective and varying dividing line between them, just as subclinical and clinical ASD are.

> People need to be accountable for what they say, not what people believe they think.

I disagree. What people believe what someone thinks, even if incorrect, is a legitimate basis for someone's choice of free association.

It's entirely legitimate for someone to avoid someone else (including fire them) on the basis of false beliefs about that person, due to failing to spend enough time understanding the nuance of the situation or person.

I would never hire rms, for example, because he is a drama llama, and I find constantly creating controversy (intentionally or otherwise) to be mostly unproductive, even if all of the things he is saying are accurate and correct and true.

Freedom of association does not require fairness or due process. Our time and attention is our own, to allocate unfairly, incorrectly, or on any other unscientific, inaccurate basis we feel is best.

According to Norwegian mainstream tabloid Dagbladet (The Daily Paper), two more people have died due to complications following vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Norwegian language source: https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/to-nye-personer-dode-etter-...
I wish scientists around the world spent more time on how to properly convince vaccine-skeptics that it's safe AND a good idea to take part.

You are being disingenuous here. The vast majority of skeptics in this case are people who have been thoroughly vaccinated against other things and are simply concerned about the accelerated testing schedule of these particular vaccines.
When a bearing fails, have fun remaking ball bearings with a hammer...

Some mechanical parts are just like electronic ones - you need a massive factory to produce them.

You might argue that ball bearing balls are standard parts so easy to get anywhere, but the same is true of electronic components - a 10uf capacitor is probably within 3 feet of you right now.

All that's missing are the skills to be able to diagnose issues down to a single component rather than saying "the control board is bad, we need to order a new one".

You should figure out why your child's household is so toxic. My son spent about 6 months last year at home. Between daily online classes, video calls with friends/cousins and activities at home. He was missing school/outside but I don't see any lasting negative impact of it.
He wasn't punished, he was fired.

You're allowed to revoke consent to an interaction or business relationship at any time. It's not a punishment to anyone else to say "this situation (employing rms) isn't for me and I don't want to be in it any longer".

Firing isn't punitive.

That's not true, all three vaccines authorised in the EU are approved under a conditional market authorisation, which is a sped up process but not an emergency authorisation.

The United Kingdom did authorise (some?) vaccines for emergency supply.
I received my first dose of AstraZeneca yesterday (I'm in Austria, and qualify as teaching staff). I had severe flu-like symptoms last night and today, to the point of having to cancel my classes. It's the worst my body has felt in several years. I don't recall receiving another vaccine in my life that was half as bad.

However of course I'll be the first to line up in three week's time to get my second shot.

I think a big problem in communication has been that people believe that in order to oppose the anti-vaxxers you need to create a narrative that the vaccine has no negative side effects at all - which isn't true, and thus gives the anti-vaxxers more fuel. It would have been much smarter to present the argument in favor of the vaccine as a cost-benefit analysis from the start. As harsh as it sounds, making everyone feel bad for a few days and possibly causing more severe effects in a small minority is much better than allowing the virus to continue spreading for another year. Not even close.

Mob justice is not OK just because women do it.
If these women have anything substantial they should make formal reports/complaints, not anonymous vogue statements like, "he make me feel uncomfortable".
Cannot believe that one even has to say this. Why are women always presumed to be innocent and men always presumed to be guilty?

Also, frankly, there is a point at which, certain behaviour might make you feel uncomfortable, but that does not mean it is grounds for firing that person. At some point you have to just fend for yourself and tell the person to fuck off. We cannot just fire anyone who has some harmless quirk that you don't appreciate. I myself have to work with loads of people with nasty behaviours, but I don't presume to demand they all get fired just because of that.

I mean, this has gotten ridiculous. We went from "he grabbed me by the pussy" and "he jerked off in front of me" to .... "he once hit on me and I had to reject him". The latter is perfectly normal behavior unless you propose we criminalize being a man.

Vertical scaling like this will have quite a few physical limits, eg max cores (is it 64?). I would think that they may be fast approaching these limits?.

What's Your Ascension?
What's your ascension? Well, the term ascension is commonly used by many spiritualists and still it lies beyond the ordinary comprehension. Generally speaking, the term ascension means the total progress you make in terms of your life, by expanding your consciousness. It is calculated that the Earth finished an evolutionary cycle of approximately 26,000 years with the Precession of the Equinox on December 21, 2012, moving into a new evolutionary cycle. It seems that the Earth is birthing herself into a new transformational order and the entire solar system is moving through a different galactic plasma plane, getting exposed to the energy fields of harmonious frequency, modern humans have never experienced before.https://bit.ly/3c7XQe5

I think these are all really bad analogies. I doubt people will make "unnecessary" trips using public transportation just because it's free. Most people that already use it have some kind of subscription where they pay a fixed amount every week/month/year and don't try to spend as much time as possible using it. I can only see this happening if you make long distance transportation free and suddenly people go on day trips every weekend.

All an effect of a lack of a futures market in IC fabrication capacity.

That means nobody has a global view of future demand (since today most contracts are secret) and cannot invest in capacity accordingly.
IMO the Burst compiler that can "jobify" and multi-thread your code relatively painlessly is the most impressive piece of tech Unity has produced (disclosure: used to work there, though this was made after my time there). It's not that hard to fit into its constraints, and it often provides 2x-200x speedups. It's still mind-boggling to me that it's possible to get (a constrained subset of) C# to beat hand-optimized C++.
For those downvoting me, most marriages end in divorce, and most men have no idea what's happening to them since 70% to 90% of divorces are initiated by the wife.

It's important to know that:

- a marriage contract is a court-enforced business contract, not something romantic

- men usually pay for both lawyer teams (wife and husband)

- your social circle will be attacked and usually destroyed

- your wife will be asked to file abuse charges against you

- if your wife wants to punish you, she will contact your employer and try to get you fired.

- and alimony and child support last a long time. Without preparation, you will end up living in your car.

- you will likely suffer depression/PTSD for a year or more through this process, regardless of who initiates the court process.
You might want to try UberConference, which is free and also automatically transcribes conferences with high accuracy (note this may be a paid feature I'm not sure). It also does some extra neat NLP stuff to detect sentiment, topics of conversation, etc.
Maybe racism isn't in itself really about race but a rooted "power trip" pathology which also manifests itself as racism. If so then this behaviour should be observed in other aspects of these people's lives. How would these people behave with their own peers? Are they controlling? How violent would they be against their own? Do they like to look at their peers on their knees? Etc.

I feel like this is more about power than anything else. And you can observe this behaviour on "non-racists" (or activists for a lack of a better word) as well.

It's not a leftover – the core premise of how these scripts work use the exact same principle. Even when using the JS tracking library, if you look at the network calls to Facebook after the initial script download, they're all hits to https://www.facebook.com/tr/ with the metadata for the call in query parameters and a return an image content type (image/gif).

As I mentioned in my original comment, the tracking scripts are more than just generator functions for the image pixels. They also do stuff like browser fingerprinting and cookie management[1], and ensure these things get tacked onto generated pixel calls. This improves the fidelity of the data sent back to Facebook, but ultimately it all boils down to image calls with tracking data tacked on as query parameters to the call.

The reason Facebook (and others) don't recommend doing this is because

– As you mentioned, they have way more freedom to do what they want on the page when you load their actual script. So of course that's going to be their preference.

– Advertisers use these pixels for attribution purposes, but ad networks also use the opportunity to further fingerprint and profile users for targeting within their platform.

– The tracking script abstracts away the actual tracking protocol being used (i.e. the query parameters and their associated values). Which helps ensure calls are made correctly, as well as provides flexibility to make changes in the underlying protocol while retaining a stable interface via the JS SDK.

- Takes care of things like generating a unique user id, looking for and saving Facebook Click IDs when seen on incoming traffic, and tacking those values onto pixel calls when they occur.

Any user ID can actually be used, so long as it's unique (and Facebook's methodology is documented and easily replicated in [1], if you want to be consistent with the SDK). And persisting a query parameter into a cookie is actually more robust if done by a first-party script, since ITP has made the lifespan for cookies written by third-party scripts so short.

As long as your custom image generator accounts for those two components (generates a client id if none exists and persists + includes a fbclid if seen on incoming traffic), you will get close to parity with the JS tracking library as far as attribution in Facebook Ads without any need to load third party scripts from Facebook (or other advertisers). Which, as an advertiser, is the only part that you care about. What isn't at parity is all of the secondary fingerprinting that ad networks do, but that's the ad network's problem and preventing that shady shit from happening on your site is the precise reason you'd want to roll your own tracking calls to begin with.

Rust instead is too far on the side of C++

I have tried to like the language, but sadly having to think about types and lifetimes robs precious energy which should be devoted to thinking about business rules and what am I actually trying to achieve.

In some niches Rust is perfect, but in every language thread on HN there's often someone that suggests to use Rust whatever the use case. C, in that respect, is more flexible and gets out of the way much more, of course while being unsafer, but it's easier to keep your mind on the goal and not figuring out the best memory safe approach for this piece of logic.

Which is why I'm very excited for Zig. I don't want another C++. Give me safer C, thanks.
I would think the type of customer that used Backblaze is orthogonal to a typical Facebook user and is actively hostile to Facebook’s practises. By even considering using their spyware in any shape or form is an egregious breach of trust and the response from your company needs to be significantly better to restore confidence.

Also is this “bug” in breach of GDPR?
I can agree. But this means that we can never talk about anything other than specific, technical issues at work. We can never reveal any opinion or outside fact about anything. I suppose that's a solution.

In this scenario, our guy wouldn't accept that others might believe differently, because he'd never know, because they never say. Fine by me.

> being wrong (i.e., of a different opinion than you)

That's not what wrong means. Opinions are personal and subjective and can't be wrong or right. Religious ideas a not opinions, they are fact claims about the universe.
Different political conceptual views, I guess? You may be looking to some kind of workers cooperative, where the workers are the developers. A cooperative's primary benefit is to the members of the organisation. A coop can have viewpoints outside of course.

The FSF views all global people are the "worker" - so rights and freedoms are for people outside the organisation.

So you'd like a workers coop but with a (variable) lesser set of rights that the FSF currently has to everyone else?

I could imagine a closed license that #1 only members of the coop can develop software with that license and #2 only the coop can sell the software. You could optionally allow non members to develop with copy left-like term but not sell their work or the software.

How would you do it?
I think consumerism specifically is more of an issue than capitalism, at least when it comes to pollution and the environment. People often conflate the two, but consumerism is a more recent phenomenon largely dependent on marketing and FOMO.

So, one way of improving it would be the widespread adoption of minimalism as a value. This seemed to be happening a few years ago with Marie Kondo et al., but I'm not sure if it has maintained momentum. Of course, it's also antithetical to the way Western capitalist economies are set up, so in the short term, a turn toward more digital consumption and less physical consumption might be helpful.
