"What if a bunch of your ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends got together and decided to ruin your life with accusations?"

This just pretty much does not happen without reason, and I think it is safe to say that if it did, you are probably a terrible person.
This level of semantics is pointless.

They could write "We generally do not issue refunds for items outside of warranty" and they're back to the statement being just one level more vague, and thus more true.

But in reality, both of those mean the same thing. Writing "We don't issue refunds outside of warranty periods" has an understood "excluding exceptional circumstances". Everyone knows it's there. Only people who are pedantic to the point of uselessness will argue about this, and you'll find out that the courts generally have little sympathy for that.

All human languages so far are inexact. Math is probably the most exact language we've invented for communicating ideas, but languages that the general public knows are all inexact.

If the correct thing is communicated unambiguously, that's already a success, even if a pedantic person can say "I know you mean that you don't 'generally' do it, so the absolute there is a lie", the fact that the pedant can point it out means they absolutely understood what was being conveyed correctly.
Great reminder. Done. I wonder how much extra income he will get just because you thought to mention it.
I watched a documentary that said the UK took over 45 trillion GBP from India in the last 200 years. I'm pretty sure that might be why it lacks the resources to protect its people.
AMD Reports Q1 2021 Earnings
Is class stereotype bias accurate? I don't know. But if so then the optimal amount of actual bias may be nonzero. So does the study show the right amount of bias, too little, or too much?

It wouldn't be easy to measure the correlation between classes and employee performance, but not impossible either. Lacking such data it's hard to know how to interpret such results.

Of course any such bias should be deeply discounted by any actual personal data you can gather. Any group-based bias should be considered trivial in comparison. But this study is designed to only consider class signals.
What's the revenue of ARM server CPUs?
I know you're just being satirical, but this kinds of arguments are brought up quite frequently even in serious debates. But the reality is that:

1. Ads depends on its cloud and core infrastructures to run its system.
2. Majority of its revenue directly comes from owned and operated properties, such as Search and YouTube Ads.
3. Chrome and Android have been key strategical components for being independent from other platforms. Google Ads won't be profitable as is if other OS/browser had 100% market dominance.

If you includes all of them, I think it's more of 6~70k employees rather than 10k.

An industry like shipping doesn’t seem a likely target for disruption. It would take a massive investment to make even the smallest dent in the problem, and it’s mostly an analog system.
Disagree with exotic cars. Perhaps an overly expensive solution to the problem of boredom, but an effective solution nonetheless.
That chip on your shoulder against everything post-2007-ish must be pretty heavy.

Modern apps don't suck. Specific design patterns suck. Not all things modern adhere to those design patterns. Not all the patterns you mention suck.

If I were hiring you to design an interface, your aversion to "humanize pretty much everything" would kick me right off the list. It reeks of tech-saavy elitism.

Okay, I just wish people stop fighting which side is correct and focus on the problem at hand in India.

It's obviously a labor of love. Sort of like a house that was built by someone's grandfather ... also subject to grandfathered building codes. :)
I would do truly terrible things for an updated xserve RAID (the most beautiful computing device ever made) that supported SATA or NVME drives.

Right now I've got IDE to SATA adapters in mine, which leaves just enough space to also squeeze 2.5" sata ssd into 3.5" drive caddies.
To be clear, that guy held several positions of power over her. Even in the most absolutely charitable reading, which is that this is a bad relationship (a reading I strongly disagree with) -- if you hold significant power over someone, you shouldn't be entering into casual sexual relationships.

If you want to pursue that relationship, it can be done, but not carelessly. This isn't a situation where a one night stand went awkwardly, there are several additional factors here.
Hitting one satellite is a hell of a warning shot though. Literally no one wants the debris clouds.

That's fair as far as it goes, but I'm not claiming it's different or new; I'm claiming it's bad and needs to be stopped.

> Does "school" include virtual learning environments? School sports? Travelling to and from school or sports?

Probably. Probably. Debatably and depends on the mode of transport.

That's two items; yes to the former, no to the latter.
If a bunch of your ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends got together to assassinate your character, then between all of those separate relationship, there was only one common factor, you.

A coordinated release in my opinion reinforces the statement.
Technically correct is the least useful kind of correct.
Thanks for the links, I have started perusing them.

As someone pointed out in a reply to another comment in this thread, oxygen is especially toxic 33 feet below the surface of the water (because of higher pressure), but can have toxic effects at the surface too. I don't grok respiration yet, but my understanding is that altitude/pressure is essential for putting the relative N2/O2/CO2 partial pressures into context.
I’m skeptical of this stuff. I’m learned from the Internet that my own company was a toxic place to work, which aside from some folk’s isolated (unfortunate) cases, leadership was quick to root out issues. I don’t think my company was a shining beacon but it also wasn’t “bad” compared to other places.
There is a lot about the sexual events in this post that, to me, highlights something I feel is important which is: we parents need to get better had having conversations with our children around sex.

This girl was feeling uncomfortable and crying but at the same time "didn't think those behaviors were problematic". I can't help but wonder if her parents never sat her down and discussed situations like this and, I get it. That's a really uncomfortable conversation to have with your child. It is, however, an important one.

This doesn't just apply to girls by the way. We parents need to be telling our sons what kind of behavior is and isn't acceptable. It's not enough to expect them to figure it out. Who are they figuring it out from if not us? Probably other inexperienced boys.

Please don't rush to put words in my mouth by thinking I am suggesting the guy in the article is innocent of the accusations. I'm making no commentary on either party from this article. That's for the courts to decide should one or both parties choose to take that course of action.

I'm simply saying it is important that parents overcome their discomfort around discussions of sex with their children so that the children can make informed decisions.

And how exactly is the "sjw religion" worse in the name of good? I get it. You don't like people calling you out if you do shitty things. But that doesn't make it worse than robber barons. Or even in the same ballpark.

Well that’s fine, RAM is supposed to be full. You’re wasting it if it’s not full. If you’re really using too much, the system will either get horribly slow or you’ll get a dialog asking you to force quit apps. (which tends to come up way too late, but whatever)

Perhaps `professional` is too narrow then. I think the power differential is an enabling factor for behaviour like this. While there certainly are creeps in normal dating situations, they are often easier to avoid. This story is very much about how this power differential allows one person to abuse another like this.

Being aware of how this affects human relationships is neither unrealistic nor unhelpful. It is something to take seriously and talk about in groups where it could arise.
Consent is unambiguous and enthusiastic yes. The default assumption is that no consent is given. Not saying yes is the same as saying no.
> It doesn't matter what the perpetrator thinks.

I think it may be the only thing that can decide the difference between a crime here or not. If the other person gives consent, then how you judge their ability to make their own decisions here is the difference between having intent to rape or not having intent. Intent matters in a lot of crimes, I don't think it matters in rape cases - I could be wrong.

> Is the perpetrator less guilty of rape depending on his blood alcohol level?

So the victim has no responsibility if blood alcohol level is too high for good judgment, but the perpetrator is responsible no matter their blood alcohol level and judgment? That seems self-contradictory.

People shouldn't have to learn how to use its complicated interface. The killer feature is managing eBooks, not rocket science.

There is nothing at all about the Calibre interface that needs to be the way it is. What's so interesting is the way it apes an old version of iTunes, one which nobody would've considered the pinnacle of UX, and still manages to complicate and bury things in unexpected places.
Where is Professor Higgins when we need him?

Henry Higgins:

Look at her, a prisoner of the gutter,
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung,
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue.

Eliza Doolittle: Aaoooww!

Henry (imitating her): Aaoooww!
Heavens! What a sound!
This is what the British population,
Calls an elementary education.

Pickering: Oh Come sir, I think you picked a poor example.

Henry: Did I?
Hear them down in Soho Square,
Dropping "h's" everywhere.
Speaking English anyway they like.
You sir, did you go to school?

Man: Wadaya tike me for, a fool?

Henry: No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike!
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse, hear a Cornishman converse.

I ask you Sir, what sort of word is that? (to Pickering)

It's "aoow" and "gaarn" that keep her in her place
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction, by now,
Should be antique. If you spoke as she does, sir,
Instead of the way you do,
Why, you might be selling flowers, too!

Henry: An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him,
The moment he talks he makes some other
Englishman despise him.
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get.
Oh, why can't the English learn to
set a good example to people whose
English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely disappears.
Well, in America, they haven't used it for years!

And Hebrews learn it backwards,

It's not that I don't believe her. It's just such a slippery slope.

This is vigilantism -- the same as if you went out and shot a guy who stole your wallet.

We don't trust victims of crimes to dole out punishments. Justice is tempered by due process, checks and balances, proportional response, all that.

So I believe her, but I don't think the world is a better place when people use this approach to conflict resolution. I'd much rather see her go to court and get a conviction.

This is just revenge.
This situation is a mess for anyone waiting on something that's sitting in a container in Shanghai, or on a ship in the queue in Long Beach. A friend's business has a critical LCL shipment that was supposed to arrive to their supplier (likely receiving a whole container, but not many containers) last week, but is stuck on a ship somewhere. That's stressing out my friend the logistics manager ahead of an upcoming product launch.

And no telling what the next product in queue is going to take in terms of component sourcing. Yikes.
> Core PCE includes food (split between line 9 and line 19), and fuel (line 11).

Wrong.

"The "core" PCE price index is defined as personal consumption expenditures (PCE) prices excluding food and energy prices."

https://www.bea.gov/help/faq/518

> Both CPI and PCE are both up slightly in the past year. Both are measures of inflation and clearly indicate slightly higher prices.

Sure, if you consider 1.5% PCE and indication of inflation. By your definition, 0.1% PCE would indicate inflation. But in reality, the target PCE is 2.0%. The numbers that the Fed are using to dictate policy indicate that inflation is not high enough, and yet the evidence of asset inflation is irrefutable.

You should really just foot the bill for AWS. This is going to be technical debt for you later on that will need to be paid. As a software/systems engineer I'll walk away from anywhere doing stuff like this to save a few dollars. I've worked a lot of janky places and now I work somewhere that goes the extra mile and puts that little bit extra in to do things right the first time. I know the on-going costs of doing stuff like this as well as the fact that you will have to clean it up at some point.

EDIT: Not necessarily YOU will have to clean it up at some point, but the next guy most likely will.
Considering that it is an amazing piece of software but 90% of the comments on this thread (made up of mostly technical users) are about its user interface, it should be obvious that there are some problems.
That wasn't being disputed. It does mean that, in the real world, a lot of victims will never see justice until there's overwhelming evidence, if ever.

It would also be a very flawed measurement unless you count the innocents the "evildoers" wanted to kill. The difference between what Hitler achieved (and that's already horrible) and what he wanted to achieve is rather big.
There are also plenty of stories of the legal system working as intended. You can create any narrative you want from selectively paying attention to data.
Imagine Amazon couldn't restock items and it hit their top line significantly.
Can you explain the reasoning a bit more? JPKab's argument is that the estimated costs were $100k+. In my uneducated eyes, the estimated cost of reporting a crime is 30 minutes trip to the police station and filling some report / talking to someone, maybe 2 hours of your time? Essentially trivial.

I understand the sentiment but I feel like this is just not true. Its designed to share code you plan to build and run, after all. As you say, it seems like we could solve it with signatures and trust but I doubt we'll ever get there, sadly.
From the linked Calibre FAQ:

Quite opinionated software. That and the quirky UI are reasons why I only use Calibre for a conversion or de-DRM here and there. Jump in, flail around until task done, fast exit.
It’s not terribly bad because CPUs are out-of-order. As far as I can tell, there’s no single dependency chain over all instructions in the loop body, some of these FMAs gonna run in parallel in your ISPC version. Still, I would expect manually-vectorized code to be slightly faster.
She says that he 'insisted'. Typically someone 'insisting' on something implies an initial 'no'.

And furthermore, "not saying no" is not the bar for consent. An enthusiastic, unambiguous yes is the bar for consent. Not giving consent is the default, assumed position until that yes arrives.

If you follow the homelab sub reddit, a lot of people like to run old obsolete datacenter gear.
