If you know someone personally, you generally know more about them than people who don't. The fact that you don't know my mother has a bankruptcy in her past doesn't speak at all to whether I'm likely or expected to know that my mother has had a bankruptcy in her past.

The fact that so many people knew about Epstein in 2008, it being a hugely reported on arrest and indictment, makes it even more damning. The idea that I knew and they didn't is absurd.
I think this is good in the long run.

People in the US have not been exposed to much propaganda from the media before, so tended to trust the news. That's why fake news and biased reporting had such an adverse effect.

Now this is changing, as more people realize that New York Times or Fox News are not much different from Pravda, and that it's not a good idea to blindly trust talking heads on TV.
That seems like sticking your head in sand. I want to know how other people are talking and thinking, so it's not a surprise later on!
>Funny I work in a similar workplace and don't find that "all men" are vilified, or that being conscientious about the impact my words and actions have on marginalized people has any negative impact on my behavior. Maybe it's a you problem

This is a great example. The Elect tolerate nothing less than full throated support of the cause/outrage du jour, and anyone taking a moderate position is branded a problem, just as you've done here.
Which companies other than EInk are making these displays? Displaydata might but I can't tell.
No, in the EU it's a violation of your personal rights due to GDPR and in many EU Countries there are local laws that mirror this. This is very much an American failure to have democratic control over what large businesses do.
I came here to write this same comment, and I have a caffeine tolerance. Redline is the pot candy bar of caffeine. It's a tiny bottle and if you don't read the side that says drink 1/2 or less too start, you can end up in a pretty bad state.

But it's still nothing compared to Ripped Fuel in the 90s. In college I could take a couple of those, lift hard for 2 hours, shower and then party all night like it was no big deal.

I thought about this. It would be a throwback to Pointcast (Circa 1990) for anyone who remembers that. They did the same thing... news, weather, stocks on a rotating schedule.
Why would you talk to women at all professionally, unless there are reliable witnesses or video recordings?

If you're looking for artwork I can recommend visiting museum websites, some of them offer their collections online with high quality downloads.

For example, the Rijksmuseum: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/rijksstudio
Comparing Russian (my native language), English, and Turkish (that I've learned to lower-intermediate level 15 years ago and have since forgotten)... English has very simple rules, and tons of irregularities and exceptions everywhere. And as some have mentioned, tons of vocabulary. Aspects of Turkish sometimes felt to me almost like a programming language, it's very modular with complex rules compared to English (for a non-native learner of both), but there seem to be relatively few irregularities. Russian has both - complex rules, and tons of irregularities.

I am guessing rote learning without many complex rules is easier for most people?

PS. The biggest gap in my English that is obvious in my daily life is that I cannot for the life of me understand half of ZZ Top lyrics. Can native English speakers understand ZZ Top lyrics, e.g. "Poke Chop Sandwich" or "Two Ways To Play"?
Your experience in an environment doesn't match someone else's experience in an environment you think is similar, so they are wrong and you are right?

Isn't this a core of the whole "woke" thing? Just because you have a nice experience doesn't mean everybody does and you shouldn't silence somebody not having a good time because you don't understand or have the same experience.

I also work in a very “woke culture.” In fact, as a straight, white, cis man I am in the extreme minority.

I have been told that I can’t do my job which includes negotiating with LGBTQ+ companies because I am an “old, white, cis guy and there is always an unfair power dynamic there” just because of my identity. It is discrimination plain and simple, but I literally stand to have my career derailed if I fight back. One accusation and I don’t get hired again.

I joined the company because I believed, and still believe in company mission which is LGBTQ+ focused.

There is no room for allies at some companies and they silence opinions they don’t like. It hurts everyone.
There's a lot of focus on recent events, but surely I'm not the only one that remembers when the New York Times almost singlehandedly started the Iraq War based on false reporting, right?
Ok - but are you sure the people who are feeling like this now have anything to do with what was happening thirty years ago?
"what does that mean?" I couldn't come up with an answer for that

This seems to fit the definition of cargo cult.

You clearly had good intentions, but you can't go around saying phrases without being able to back them up. This should be familiar to you from technical situations - consider: "prefer composition over inheritance" - reasonable advice, but be prepared to explain yourself, not just parrot it.
> I’m not going to suggest a solution to the problem of men clamming up.

I find this a little frustrating, they’ve noticed a pattern of behaviour that concerns them in an area they are clearly invested in - yet they have no thoughts or suggestions on how to address this? Is it possible they are not offering such thoughts because of the same issue they have highlighted in the article?
I've always thought the future of newspapers was an iPad sized e-ink reader. One cheap enough for papers to give away to their subscribers. Yet it hasn't happened and I'm left wondering why?

I think it's because the newspaper industry has tunnel vision. You might ask what about newspaper apps on phones? First it isn't an ideal screen size for a newspaper. Second they only show a fraction of the articles. They also keep articles on their scroll for days and days. I don't know about you but I don't chose a digital delivery to get days old stories.

I think the industry needs a well funded disruptor. Living in Michigan I can tell you that without Elon Musk we'd never be moving toward battery powered automobiles. I've dealt with Gannett's customer service and I have come away convinced that they hate their customers.

I’m going to off on a tangent here, but what I find amusing is the theater circus the American Congress has been putting on with CEOs of big tech and social media companies.

Suddenly these people care about misinformation? Really? I mean, to an outside observer Fox News and CNN are propaganda machines from two different sides of the spectrum. And they push these politicians political agenda.

But now we have social media where America’s elite can’t just kill a news story, and suddenly that’s so wrong?

I think back to 2003. I was in Asia and flipping between CNN and Fox News as Saddams statue was being toppled in Iraq. These media organizations peddled lies and were an important cog in the machine to reshape the Middle East, which only led to hundreds of thousands of deaths or people becoming refugees.

Social media has its own problems, but it’s quite insane that the same people who peddle lies each and every day have the audacity to act like they’re on some moral pedestal questioning tech CEOs. In fact they’re just mad they can’t control them. I saw this last week and couldn’t help but wonder that America can’t afford healthcare and had homelessness in most metropolitan cities... yet your leaders put on theater.
This is all rather vague. These tools collect dust because software nowadays doesn't only have to be written, it needs to be maintained and adapted. And these examples weren't because they weren't useful enough. Sure, they worked at their specific task... but none of them was a game changer or enhanced the power of the developer in general. It's not that dev tools are not used, just that most of them are directly written by the programmers that need them, for their own use, without much care for life expectancy or limitations. Just to get that thing done when they need it. I don't really understand much the point of the article. If an idea is good, well executed and presented to its target audience, maybe it won't eat the world, but it will have decent chances to not collect dust.
I'm surprised that governments aren't using some kind of 2FA tokens for peoples' identities, while credit cards are.

"Dangerous fantasies" are a mixed bunch.

Once upon a time, emancipation of slaves or universal suffrage were dangerous fantasies. In China as of today, democratic ideas are a dangerous fantasy.

It is not as if contemporary West is the only society in history that has everything figured out and can only get worse through entertainment of "dangerous fantasies". To the watchers of status quo, every potential change is at least suspect, if not outright dangerous.

If you buy a car in BTC worth $50k USD at the time of purchase, and, at the time of the refund, the same BTC is worth $75k, they will refund you $50k USD.

I read the CBC regularly and listen to the radio as well and agree it is not objective and is always pushing a social objective.

If you could remove the inflammatory tone from your posts and just state the facts there might be an interesting discussion to have.

If the CBC is someone’s only source of news it is a handicap to them as there is very little business reporting except from the point of view that some people having some success is bad because others didn’t have any.

At least the old newspapers had a business section that celebrated success and gave one a window in to that world. If all you consume is CBC you aren’t shown a path in to markets but are shown that they exclude you and there is nothing you can do about it. CBC creates victims.
I can't say that I have much advice for this, but if you're serious about this, it's probably a good idea to contact a lawyer, maybe try this: https://www.stratulat-albulescu.ro/en/contact/ I imagine a few hours of discussions won't cost you an arm and a leg and you should be able to get far more qualified advice than what you'd get from a rando on the internet.

If you do want to move, personally I would avoid Bucharest... a bit. Competition is super fierce. Timișoara, Cluj or Iași, especially Iași, should have a decent talent pool and slightly lower salary expenses/lower cost of living, and they all have international airports so you can easily move around when needed.

I'd learn a bit of Romanian. If you only speak English it will be relatively hard, but reasonably doable: https://www.openculture.com/2017/11/a-map-showing-how-much-t...

The vast majority of developers will never encounter this stuff in the way it's being presented. Sometimes you'll be hacking together some version of a js framework to get some UI feature using the patterns permitted by company A in a very narrow scope.

I thought articles were marked down with the passage of time and by the flamewar coefficient (comments-to-points ratio) but neither goes anywhere near explaining this.

Is there something massively wrong with it that I'm not seeing? I thought it seemed like good analysis and a great explainer for the subject.

> where you can only talk candidly with people who are equal or lower than you on the oppression hierarchy

Wouldn't someone talking to someone "lower" on the "oppression hierarchy" just be what we basically have today? That sounds like "privilege," or an "imbalanced power dynamic." I think you'll only be able to talk to equals, whatever that is, and by whatever metric is en vogue for that day.
It would work in the sense that you've be able to add more transactions to the chain. But it'd also be very easy for somebody to double spend.

People can see the attempt at cloaking subjective opinion as objective news and do not like it.
Founders swapping titles is enough to decide success of a company? Interesting relationship dynamic.
Aside from the scare quotes, you're wrong, "machine teaching" and "expert systems" are not the same thing (and neither is considered the same as pre-deep nets computer vission). In my still-shallow research, machine teaching is a conceptual thread that began years ago but is still active and interacts deep learning currents. Expert systems are still around also, they just aren't considered AI anymore.

See: https://blogs.microsoft.com/ai/machine-teaching/ and so forth.
Agree. It's too expensive. I rationalized it as art and less expensive than most NFT's. As an art piece I do expect it to be good discussion piece and the construction makes me think that it'll last for 10 years without issues.

My initial thought was to turn this into a product but the cost of eInk at this size would need to drop to the $500-800 range to make it reasonably viable.
The problem isn’t to treat people with respect.
The problem is that some few people are absolutely hellbent on interpreting any interaction through a lens of sexism or racism, and a large silent majority allows them for fear of drawing unwanted attention and/or harm.

This is not to say that sexism or racism isn’t or hasn’t been a large problem, but the correction pendulum has really swung way too far for some people and that is actually not at all helpful since it only builds up resentment among people who actually are supporters of the cause of equality.
Thought experiment:

I do wonder if some boss in the future will only employ straight white males simply to avoid people "offending" others (it's hard to offend a straight white male in this new woke ideology). Of course this has the opposite effect to what the woke seem to want, but this is the world we have built ourselves.
I think there should be a government agency that counters mis-information in the media just like we have agencies that inspect food to be poison-free. Such an agency should be independent in the way that Federal reserve or Bank of England are independent of the current government.
Yes, that’s what it’s about. Turnabout is fair play. You should think through the long term consequences of that.

I wish you weren’t getting downvoted because I think your comment reveals so much.
But all that does in practice is that only those who can come up with perfectly worded advice on the spot that will not offend anyone will be giving advice to people who might become offended. Which actually hurts the underprivileged since they will now receive a significantly reduced amount of advice.
Can you tell me anything about Bancor or bnt that a friend was shilling to me. Is this an altcoin? How do altcoins derive value or are they pretty much considered high risk/high reward gambling?

It doesn't help that the benchmark for oppression gets lower every day. It used to be a concerted, systematic action that's targeted at a small group. Today, it's pretty much anything which hurts one's feelings.

Unpopular opinion: I personally had more fun reading the Wikipedia page (and others) detailing the actual background and setting and workings of the Culture than I had reading any of the books. :) Really the world (universe?) of The Culture is very deep and interesting (and the Tolkien comparisons very apt, since I have the same feeling about LoTR).

Also I particularly enjoyed Consider Phlebas more than the 'following' book (player of games), so I do not agree about phlebas being "skippable".
Firing is a straw man.

Obviously it’s usually justified because there are legal consequences otherwise.

The problem is all the other things that can happen that aren’t firing.

> Well, to take TW, Mainland must send navy, which is easily intercepted by US. The island isn’t actually that close to the mainland.

Taiwan is a little over 100km off the coast of mainland China. That's nothing, and the Chinese navy could easily get there without any interference from anyone.

They wouldn't even have to; if they just wanted to cause damage, they could start firing missiles from the mainland without sending any ships or planes.
Beware of the Bubble
Because they're counting deaths that weren't directly related to anything. There are supposedly seven people who "died in the Jan 6 riot" and yet two were suicides days-to-weeks later, three were heart attacks / strokes from physical assertions (or gas/spray, we aren't sure) and one died from falling / being trampled and one was shot in front of police.

The "7 people died in an armed insurrection" is a lie.

The most accurate statement is:

"one protestor/rioter shot by police at the Capital riot",

"one officer died from suspected injuries sustained",

"two people died in march to capital after trump's speech",

"two officers commit suicide after being investigated in connection to Jan 6 riot at the Capital"

"one rioter on Jan 6 fell to their death and were trampled by the rioters"

^ These are all more accurate, but probably reduces viewership. The statement was "how did the US news media lose their viewers trust". I simply summarized one event which highlights it.

An enemy is not imaginary if you yourself did not experience it.
I am very glad you rethought that racist sexist approach. It was a learning experience for you. I am glad it did you no harm, even better.

People need to be tolerant of casual racism and sexism, up to a point. People have been raised like this, advised to to act like this, they need a chance to learn. It is tough on those on the receiving end, and unjust. But the world will not change over night and the prejudice is so ingrained at every level of our society.

This poster here shows that prejudice can be easily overcome if not combined with bigotry
