China is not a singular monolithic entity though, and RMB -> USD conversion is heavily restricted, so both things can be true. The principle motivation for Chinese Bitcoin miners is to get USD/non-RMB fiat, while at the same time, the CCP doesn't crack down on Bitcoin mining as tacit approval of using Bitcoin as a long shot to dethrone USD globally.
One design decision made for Spacewar that has stuck was to make the universe wrap around like a torus. It seems obvious to us now to do this as it's the way so many early games worked but isn't how the world we observe around us generally is perceived. Without Spacewar, would Asteroids and many other games come up with wraparound space on their own? Either way, Spacewar laid down the path for this to be considered a valid way of representing space.

Suggestions very much welcome! Unfortunately, this space does not really have any good open options: certainly, there is no ARM MCU that meets our security constraints and also has open firmware. (Indeed, there is no ARM MCU that I am aware of that has a completely open ecosystem; all of them have some proprietary bits, though some less than others.) Longer term, we are bullish on RISC-V, but it's not there yet with the security features that we need (e.g., a PUF) -- and we are not in the position (yet!) to make our own ASIC. (We took a hard look at using a secure FPGA for our root of trust, but the best solution we found in the space made NXP look downright open.)

Again, suggestions welcome -- and we are very optimistic that our options will be much better in the coming decade!
It's unprofessional regardless, but I don't believe it was ethnic names in particular:

> current employees were so mortified by the practice that none of them would give me a single example of a name on the list. One invoked the sorts of names Bart Simpson used to use when prank calling Moe the Bartender: Amanda Hugginkiss, Seymour Butz, Mike Rotch.

> Many of the names were of American or European origin. But others were Asian, or African, and eventually the list — titled “Best Names Ever” — began to make people uncomfortable. What once had felt like an innocent way to blow off steam, amid the ongoing cultural reckoning over speech and corporate responsibility, increasingly looked inappropriate, and often racist. [1]

Kids are often not allowed to work full time and ARE required to go to school until 18.

You can consider anti-child-labor laws to be ageist, and maybe you'll be technically correct but that's irrelevant. Age discrimination actually is good in this case. Kids should be in school and shouldn't be forced to have to work.
I bet that most who quit for non-monetary reasons probably quit less because of the policy, but more because they lost faith in leadership. This whole episode was extremely ugly, and unnecessarily public. If I worked at Basecamp I’d probably just not trust DHH and Jason to not make my life worse for no clear reason.
I'm explaining how it currently works - they have the legal resources file police reports for serious reports of malware, or if it's in a place with largely uncooperative police, a domestic federal investigation into the activity.
> moved high volumes of air through the exhaust to heat the cat sooner and somehow improve it's numbers

This is because the catalyst works more efficiently at higher temperatures. Emission regs also test vehicles under a cold start. The quicker the cat can be heated up, the quicker it starts working, and that equals fewer total emissions over a given period of operation.
I kinda wish my title was simply “Systems Administrator” which is probably the closest thing to a “software mechanic” that we have. Most of our titles have been inflated however.
Doubt it. Australia doesn't have a problem. And there are a finite number of minors, and they're not allowed to work full time any way.
It’s not political to say as a general principle we support the customs of other cultures even if we don’t agree”. If I go to China I don’t tell them their names are in the wrong order because their family name comes first and given name comes second, I act according to custom and respect. If a Chinese person visits me in the US same principle. Why not treat all coworkers the same.
I can't try it since I don't have an iPhone, but it might be really nice to be able to optimize for keeping your phone in your pocket. E.g. autogenerated a playlist and autoplay, maybe with a recording of the creator's name before each clip. It would also be cool to be able to favorite using headphone buttons or an apple watch.
> It has so far produced nothing except higher values measured in fiat. And the higher the values go the more resources needed for the computer networks.

That isn’t strictly true. Before the advent of Bitcoin, there was no global currency of fixed supply controlled by computer algorithms. That simple academic experiment was quickly infiltrated by profiteers, however. Most people never cared to cultivate an understanding of Bitcoin beyond the barest of surface level understandings, and these same people are now able to finger point at blatantly self-serving get-rich-quick ICO projects — like Ethereum and Chia — which have clearly achieved nothing in spite of endlessly promising investors “innovation”.

The only thing innovative that has ever come out of the Bitcoin space is Bitcoin itself: a speculative store of value. Every national currency is similarly speculative, and people who “missed” Bitcoin are loathe to admit the same thing that happened to gold’s market capitalization prior to its ubiquitous use as money, is now happening to Bitcoin.
Judging from the website, you can't actually buy it.

Yet all WA W2 employees pay 0.4% of their income towards family leave insurance, aka an income tax. And an additional 0.6% is being added Jan 1, 2022 for long term disability insurance, also an income tax.

Especially considering the long term disability benefit is pathetic for 0.6% of pay. If you earn more than ~$60k, you’ll be paying more for the LTDI tax than simply buying the same policy from an insurance company.

The fact that the WA Supreme Court hasn’t struck these two down as income taxes when they clearly are makes me think they are going to let this slide too.
I'm curious, what conservative views do you hold that you think would make you so incompatible?
When a bug is found in production, it should usually be fixed by:

1. Make a commit supplying the test coverage that was evidently lacking.

2. Make a commit supplying the fix.

Everything you say is valid. However, what I just described is the simplest and clearest example of valuable multi-commit-per-ticket git history.
in some ways its worse, the internet has literally made everything more competitive
At no point did I read that any committee was involved with this issue: it was all direct interactions between individuals and management. Can you cite where you read that the DE&I committee had involved themselves with this?
How Big Data Are Unlocking the Mysteries of Autism
1 is not apolitical; it essentially means the misgendering employee needs to acquiesce.

2 is frankly a terrible solution. You're keeping a "missing stair" employee whom you need to carefully ensure doesn't interact with any coworkers they'd misgender. If someone can't respect a coworker, especially after being directly told to, they should be let go.
Sure, but if a workplace is unreasonable then all bets are off... I don't think any kind of political discussion is going to have any effect in a workplace that accepts a manager purposefully misgendering a co-worker.

I also don't think that someone politicising something makes the "other side" political automatically.

If Basecamp hired a retrograde sexist that called unmarried women "whores" in the hallway, the women would have all the right to complain, and it wouldn't be a political discussion. It would be just be (in a perfect world) HR vs Asshole.

EDIT: Also I'd like to say that I'm not condoning banning politics at work. We probably agree on most things. I'm just saying that co-workers, managers and the company being reasonable makes way more difference than politics/no politics. Unfortunately there's no perfect solution to the problem of people being unreasonable, other than those sociopaths ceasing to exist.
It’s a two-way street, though. If you’re a half-decent software engineer there are tons of bosses willing to give you gobs of money. And smart bosses recognize that.

Minimum coverage, modest car, clean record, over 30 is ~$220/mo for most carriers here, $150 if you're eligible for USAA.

The exemption would also apply to Comcast, as owner of Universal Studios. It'd be funny to watch Facebook and Twitter get into a bidding war for SeaWorld... or, alternatively, buy their own patches of swampland and build some roller-coasters.

Thanks, yes it's almost like a cult thing - you're supposed to stab and poke and just _discover_ the hidden features.

One example to prove your point was that I needed to disable/restrict the fingerprint auth as he was using that to get himself more time; his old device that died didn't have one.

Everything said yeah just go to "Face ID & Passcode" under settings. Except it wasn't there. An inordinate amount of effort later I learned there was a setting knee deep in Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions that would allow it to be displayed.

Why TF not just display the Touch settings tab still and then a message saying its use is disabled in that part of their jungle hell? I mean that'd actually be user friendly.

(Setting up Docker in WSL2 is a breeze compared to the guesswork that's becoming their new norm.)
Twitterland sounds interesting. Facebook Kingdom not so much ;)
It's not really a political issue if you are a "he" and people call you a "she", within reason. That is pretty typical HR stuff.
"Basic human decency" has always been a political position, in most countries that have a messy democracy (eg not small and very homogenous).

Or at least, there have always been those who think that their belief system is obviously basic human decency and those of their opponents pure evil outside the bounds of civic discourse. Then they can pat themselves on the back and have their liberal pluralist cake while eating it too. Usually these people exist on both sides of a given topic simultaneously!
Making Vaccines Is Straightforward; Getting People to Take Them Isn’t
This exactly, we had no say in the matter just that consultants were coming in and we had to help them get up to speed with our tech stack and get out of our way.
My vaccine card is a medical record and contains both PII and PHI. It worries me that I don't see a privacy policy. Of course as a developer I can check the source code, but it's probably best to include a policy.
Ok, then imagine you are getting data at 10/g a second.
If you're cutting release builds often enough that the extra minute or two is hampering your productivity, you may have bigger issues with software development.
An aspect that appeals to me is interchangeability. If you needed to replace an engine or other major components, even just to similar items in the manufacturers lineup, there's definitely a "golden era" of late 80s to early 2000s cars where that is feasible for the...more enthusiast home mechanic. While not impossible for modern cars, it is far far more difficult.
There are election laws that mandate equal access to ads for politicians, so a bill considering deplatforming as election interference would not be out of line with current laws.

I don't receive it very politely. It's clearly condescending, and from my perspective you are the one reading uncharitably. I explicitly didn't assume either interpretation of your statement; my point was that it was either extreme or, as far as I understood the thread of this discussion, irrelevant. (This subchain began with someone pointing out that one's sexual orientation will naturally be revealed in a work context.)

I do not wish to purchase new hardware for this trivial application. The hardware works fine in Windows, so I use Windows. I have no desire to spend the better part of a year researching and coding and convincing some kernel maintainer to merge my changes to fix the damn thing, nor do I wish to spend that time collecting logs and other debugging data for whoever maintains that driver so that they can completely ignore it.

I would not ban conservative voices from college campuses. The work place, however, is not a college. I would prohibit any inflammatory speech that was serving to divide and distract the team. We share more in common that we disagree on. In a team setting we need to be United and aligned full stop. If you’re in the army and heading into battle you don’t debate philosophy, art or sports you focus on the mission and unit cohesion.

In college you debate and explore ideas. Different contexts. Different purposes. Different rules.
Sony handled the situation better than pop-up box pioneer X10 did. X10 pretty much invited you to buy their cameras to hide covertly in dressing rooms. When they got called out on it, they had the nerve to run ads along the lines of "We never said you should use these to spy on people" even though their earlier ads certainly implied that was the reason to buy them. Their obnoxious popup ads already gave them a bad image so they weren't going to get the benefit of the doubt when disavowing their peeping tom cameras.

A lot of the issues you reasonably want to avoid seem like they could be solved more directly by other means. The argument seems to be, "America is a hell hole, so everyone needs enough money to escape it." There are poor countries where people dont live in fear of eviction and the slums arent full of violence and drugs. Maybe it's too difficult to change culture though, and we should just throw money at the problem.
Shaw Brothers
Well, here's the rub: I generally try to avoid saying "my team", because I don't regard them as possessions.

I'll make N-way decisions between conflicting ideals when I'm invited to adjudicate, but refrain otherwise. My guidance would be to workshop apparently dissimilar preferences extensively, because 99% of the time there is a synthesis to be found, and creating a focus for conflict tends to encourage loud voices to get louder, drowning out alternatives. I'll treat any administrative decision-making as being on behalf of the team, i.e. as having been delegated the authority to do so from the members. I learned years ago that governing by consent of the governed is the only form of respectful leadership, and this extends to organisations and corporations, and it's never more apparent than when a manager switches jobs and people follow to the new gig because they liked working with you.

The most important function, in this management style, is hiring, and in some organisations, talent acquisition has been half my workload. Regarding which I was once told, "hire people smarter than you"; the only issue with this maxim being the corollary, viz. that the CEO is, by induction, the company dunce.
A large number of Chia's executive team came from Overstock.com, a company that's been instrumental in pumping up the value of cryptocurrencies both in 2013 and 2017. Sure they could pull this off again, right?

> there's no way we could take a person at their word

What people say on Twitter is hardly courtroom testimony. It is evidence, sure, but I wouldn't give it a whole lot of weight. Probably even less weight for being "incredibly vocal".
Actually George W Bush was planning on taking on China aggresively in his first term till his administration was sidelined by 9/11 and they focused on invading Iraq and Afghanistan, and bombings in other countries. In fact they drew up war plans during Obama's first term and argued over the feasibility of attacking China. In the end they decided that the direct kinetic war window had closed and then proceeded the "pivot to Asia" plan of economic warfare on China by blockading it with the new trade pact TPP, and using other countries to box in China.

Obama era

"It was a DOD [Department of Defense] thing, but the White House grabbed it and announced it," says Michael Green, senior vice president for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Obama's announcement also had the effect of giving the administration's Asia-Pacific pivot "a military hue," he says.

Sure, that's also an easy to reach interpretation. Unlike the other, not one that explains people being more likely to accept a buyout because of the change, so not relevant to the discussion, though.
I miss the state of streaming piracy from a few years ago, where you could just run Kodi with Exodus and have instant access to basically every movie and TV show to ever grace a screen.

Most SSDs aren't designed for the repeated writing Chia requires. "Data center" or "high-endurance" SSDs have that capacity but are consequently more expensive.

That's exactly what they were doing. If you use a low cost "consumer" SSD you can wear it out very quickly then claim it was "defective."

> Obviously a lot of moral hazard issues and complications

Yes it would be difficult to implement. You would encourage people to seek higher paying jobs by progressively phasing the wage subsidy out. Or just not phase it out at all. No real difference between the two depending on income taxes.

On the other side you could also target a certain cyclical unemployment rate and have a minimum wage employers must pay that fluctuates with that. That way there isn't an incentive to have "wink wink nudge nudge" pretend jobs.

My problem with the UBI is I think the amount needed to be meaningful (1k+ a month) gives people enough money to check out of society and not be a contributing member. Its super inexpensive to live with friends somewhere kind of crappy and just do basically nothing productive.
If a storage server gets p0wned, the raw data could be deleted. That's true for every cloud provider. What's important, they still can't read the backup, since it's encrypted on the client. Storage servers are also isolated from each other and in different DCs, cities and regions.

Additional offline backups aren't really feasible past a certain data volume and daily change/velocity. I'd still encourage everyone to have them for their own essential data in addition to a cloud backup. E.g. by burning it to BluRay or tape (3-2-1 rule). You can see find my own, more philosophical discussion, of the topic here: https://docs.borgbase.com/strategy/. There I also distinguish between operational backups and archives. BorgBase is focused on the former. Offline backups are more suited for the latter.
