And to make another point against FSD as a humanitarian intervention. Looking at the highest vehicle deaths per capita (or per no. of vehicles), it over represented by developing nations. What's common to them is poor infrastructure, unpaved roads, older vehicles with less safety features, lack of government enforced safety standards, lack of road rules and enforcement, etc. Worldwide road deaths will be more affected by regulatory interventions, capital spending, etc. FSD won't make a real dint in this number.

> Implicit in your statement is the idea that the "injustice" might "suck", but not so much that it's worth blowing up your employer. Which is to say: you really don't think this injustice sucked very much.

You're both misreading and over-reading.

The comparison is not between how much the injustice sucks vs. the cost of blowing up the employer. It is a) whether all injustices have equitable access to pressuring employers and b) whether parasitizing any organization to advance a cause, however honorable the intentions are, is a fair game despite the negative externalities.

If any cause fails either of these criteria, it is bound to be creating its own injustices.
I often see that peculiar speech pattern here on HN! It's like they're afraid to say 'wife' out of fear of offending the woke mob. The same people who are OK with work being a constant struggle seminar.
And yet this whole ridiculous movement is isolated to the United States and not at all popular in nations like Brazil which got dramatically more African slaves brought to them in the time of the slave trade.

When you get sucked in by a US-centric ideology that is almost entirely based out of US universities you get these glaring holes in these theories that don't make sense as soon as you move them to another country.

Explain to me why this movement hasn't caught on in Brazil? Or any of the other numerous South American countries which were huge destinations for African slaves? I don't see this crap happening in Columbia.

This is all just elite overproduction with a bunch of professors who 40 years ago still thought communism was a great idea indoctrinating kids who have a naturally conformist mindset.

Google and Amazon can afford to have this crap but startups can't and that's why you're seeing it evaporate from the small companies first. Let the unproductive all talk no walk poser engineers obsess about this instead of writing code. The rest of us will get to work somewhere else.
Unless things have changed, the bigger issue is that Firebase Analytics is included by default and can't easily be excluded.

Linking Firebase to Ads requires conscious action on behalf of the developer, while the former only requires using any Firebase product.

Also, Google is in the online ads business, so I don't think it's surprising that they provide docs that show how to use Firebase data to target ads. That said, it's not the default, so it's not as shady as you're making it sound.
> PS: Phone companies can pull this stuff off successfully for millions of cellphones. If you’re arguing keeping up with AT&T is to hard, you have serious organizational problems.

To be fair, AT&T in particular does prepaid shutoffs on a pretty coarse granularity, I think it's like 15-minute intervals.

I know this because for a while I had to use a prepaid LTE modem as my primary internet connection. You can use as much bandwidth as you want for the remainder of the 15-minute interval in which you exceed what you've paid for -- then they shut you off.

I once managed (by accident) to get 3GB out of a 2GB plan purchase because of this.

Of course that free 1GB was only free because I consumed all of it in the 14.9 minute time period preceding NO CARRIER.

Yet if you drove through my hometown, the chances of whether you'd have an encounter with a police officer would depend on the color of your skin and the type of car you drive. And store surveillance watches people closer depending on the shade of their skin. And local jobs are gotten depending on who you know, which is a fun way of saying "operators hire the children of friends, and white folks hang out with white folks."

So you say you aren't privileged, but there sure does seem to be a hell of a lot white privilege floating around despite your protest to the contrary.

Oh, but you say "what about the inbred cousin fuckers?"

Racial minorities get discriminated against before you know where they're from. It's why prejudice is a problem, but racism is systemic by default.
you think they would resist denouncing it, despite the racism in that question?
At least for energy there is no problem at all, except for investment costs. A reasonably sized chunk of the Sahara, covered with solar panels, could provide all the energy we need. Nuclear is also an option.
Isn’t the point of incels that they want something that is majorly important in society, yet can’t get it. It’s a bit like telling poor people that they should not care about money.
The internet today is unarguably much less innocent place than it has beennin these times. I don't think it is off topic to reflect on the changes in culture that happened since then.

With the masses the internet (like every medium before it) became much more propagandistic and propaganda is the art of supplying people with stories they want to be true, because they express a big lie they tell themselves about their lives. This wasn't different, when the Nazis gave people the Volksempfänger and Germans went to the cinemas to look at the newest reels of Wochenschau and every story told them how they (and they alone) are special people and others (jews, roma, sinti, gays, communists, ...) were to blame for all that was wrong.

I don't see why it should be improper or forbidden to reflect on the cultural changes within the internet in a post about an episode about its past — other than political agenda yet again.

Serverless Computing Advantages and Disadvantages – Serverless360
He's well known for almost torpedoing Lerna by committing an insane proprietary license where he called ICE and Palantir fascists who aren't allowed to use Lerna, and included into that any companies who ever do work for ICE or Palantir, which included Microsoft. Microsoft in response had to get to work dropping Lerna from all of its repositories, but instead managed to convince a different maintainer to boot Jamie off the Lerna team. While he was doing all of this he had the gall to call Babel and Lerna HIS personal projects. He wrote stuff like (paraphrasing) "I will not allow Palantir to use my projects." Multiple other maintainers of these projects had to point out to him that these were, literally, not his projects. At the time that he did this he wasn't even the maintainer or core contributor to Lerna. Long story short I will never support anything this guy does. It is incredibly irresponsible to put him anywhere near the levers of power of any significant project or to give him power over employees in a company.

> In this thread alone are dozens of people completely blind to the concept of social signals, thinking instead about price, clarity and the vague notion of distant moral dilemmas.

> Yeah, I agree. I'd go even further and say that although the tech conversations on HN are substantive, the vast majority of non-tech conversations are devoid of social awareness

Social signaling and status symbols come up frequently on HN, and in this thread no less. Truly, in ordinary circles these concepts don’t come up and people aren’t even aware that what they’re doing is a concept that’s studied.
They really can just throw money at the problem to solve it, which otherwise hamstrings their competition. If you can plop a billion dollars down to move data to the right country, have lawyers to check your lawyers checking your lawyers, and can afford penalties when you trip up, you're already at an advantage over most of your competition—probably without having to sacrifice much in the process.

Would you though? Having a co-worker insist that you denounce white supremacy says far more about the co-worker than any refusal to play their little games says about you.
This should be a gigantic red flag. Esp. where schooling is mandatory.

The parents should know -the details- and consent. Every school district should be required to provide full details of at least: provider, data collected, anonymization status, all parties with access to data, and for how long. And District and parents must be notified of any changes in very short order.

That way the District must be aware of it. The providers and District should also be appraised of their possible lliabilities: 1) If they don't provide that information, 2) If anything goes very wrong. Which is quite likely.
Convenient security holes are harder when the spyware is built into the OS. The popularity of Chromebooks means most students don't have the option you're describing. You can't disable the analytics without disabling school control over the whole OS and then you lose the school wifi password and your machine is useless anyway. What's worse is in a particular district I used to work for, this was the only device the kids had, hence why the school needed to hand them out in the first place. So suddenly the school and Google see all the personal browsing data of every student. Obviously there's no malicious intent so nothing bad has come of it yet presumably, but it is unsettling.

I don't exactly how old your anecdote is, but I think it's pretty well established that Donald Trump is a racist, as are many of the people he chooses to work with.

When Trump was president, there was little if any pushback to his racism in the Republican Party, and they chose instead to "close ranks" and support him.

Under those circumstances, I can understand why people would say they're a Democrat because they're not racist. To my eyes, it seems like governing requires many decisions with no clear answers and with many tradeoffs. It is not always clear (to me, at least) whether a traditionally conservative or liberal approach will be the best for a particular issue. So I've lamented recent politics that have really not given me much of a choice. However much I want to have a choice of people with multiple smart approaches, I just can't in good conscience support people who remain in a party that is defined by their support for people like that.
Yes and the first Jews and African-Americans that gained positions in government gained them as Republicans. Prior to the Southern strategy, the democratic party was the party of Jim Crow and lynchings and backwards ass race hatred. But they, like people, changed.

It really says nothing about the potential of the parties today. If you are so ideological that you can't see that calling people you just met racists is a bad strategy, I don't know what to tell you. Want to play a game of prisoner's dilemma?

Scary Gary == Gary, Indiana, a burb of Chicago. It met the same crisis as a lot of Rust Belt areas and if you watch a youtube vid of it today, you'll see why it's scary. The Jackson family was from there, left for the same reasons (well...).
I agree. For the record, I am pro-remote work and was fully onboard long before COVID, but I also suspect that the erosion of social trust can be accelerated in a company by fully remote work. It's a tradeoff that a company can either handle badly or well.

Did you read that comment about Basecamp employees "crying and screaming at their screens" after the Zoom meeting? That just sounds so much like people who are both venting their spleens and at the same time have no connection to their workplace.
> That depends very heavily on the nature of the injustice, doesn't it? I mean, take Godwin's perspective here: that's literally the logic that gave us the holocaust!

Um... I completely failed to follow this. Are you talking about Godwins law? What is the logic that literally gave us the Holocaust?

> Isn't that an existence proof that your intuition is simply wrong here?

I believe you have an error in your modal logic. Existence proofs can only disprove 'all/no X are P' statements and prove 'there exists an X that is P' statements. The claim you cite is of the later form.

Generally, the way to disprove such a claim is to assume it is true then reach a logical contradiction.

Oh come on, that is so not what I said. If only jokes were made the genocide wouldn't have happened. The jokes weren't the cause of anything, they were just a symptom/result of a widespread hate campaign that certainly didn't start with jokes.

Context and details matter a lot. A joke about "niggaz in da hood" by a white person is very inappropriate and insensitive, but it's not the same as some joke where the punchline is that "niggaz too lazy to work" or whatnot. The second does express hatred, the first doesn't, in spite of being misguided.

This is essentially the same argument as {comics,music,TV,films,games} causes {Satanism,murder,drug use,what-have-you}.
I don't think I or anyone else in this thread was arguing that insults to any group are good or even ok.

Just that there is a difference between punching up vs punching down. There is a difference because insults hurt when there is a history behind them. Just like a white guy calling a white guy the 'n' word doesn't hurt nearly as much as calling a Black guy that same name.

Context always matters but context isn't fixed at your national level.

If you get jumped by several guys from an oppressed group at that moment in time and in that place they have a lot more power than you do. Just like in code that context exist within the broader global context where you correctly point out that there are power differentials.

I also grew up in the south like you did but I grew up in a trailer park. Kids like you with houses on the bus made fun of kids getting on from the trailer park.

My point is that socioeconomic status is dramatically more predictive of failure or success in the United States than race is. Geographic location is also a huge predictor. If we're going to reduce things down to one dimension we should focus on class.
Linux server administration requires a certain amount of know-how and determination. I can't tell you how many times I had to rebuild a DigitalOcean server because I messed something up and wanted to start with a clean slate.

A lot of hackathons, workshops and courses ask you to use AWS these days. Whether it's to run machine learning instances, win a sponsor prize or learn how to use Lambda, students are often encouraged to learn one of the major cloud providers.

Also it's a resume boost. It's another buzzword you can add to your resume.

I’m no expert on the region but looking at these described points on a map they sound very similar.

Do you have a link to the leaked report containing the deleted simulation?

From Parent’s link:

> In 2014, a leaked Malaysian police report revealed that among Zaharie’s saved flight simulator sessions was a very odd route which ran up the Strait of Malacca, turned south after passing Sumatra, and then flew straight down into the Southern Indian Ocean before terminating in the vicinity of the seventh arc.

> Not only did the track resemble MH370’s actual flight path, it also contained a number of other intriguing details.

>For example, the track wasn’t really a track — rather, it was a series of brief clips lasting no more than a few seconds each, indicating that Zaharie had programmed it in advance then skipped along it to various points without actually playing through the entire hours-long flight.

———
From op’s link:

> The pilot of MH370 generally avoided official flight routes from 18:00 UTC (2 am AWST) onwards but used waypoints to navigate on unofficial flight paths in the Malacca Strait, around Sumatra and across the Southern Indian Ocean. The flight path follows the coast of Sumatra and flies close to Banda Aceh Airport,”

> it’s clear that the five books Fried and Hansson wrote lecturing other people about good management made them a lot of enemies…

That’s a bad take. Everyone I’ve ever heard mention those books has talked about them in a very positive light. I’ve never heard anyone describe them as lecturing.

The books aren’t what earned them enemies. Their behavior in the last week did. I’ve seen a lot of people on Twitter badmouth Fried and Hansson who admired them deeply until now.
It’s very similar:

I know what spot pricing is. I work at AWS in Professional Services. AWS was always built from the ground up as a separate service. Amazon Retail is still migrating some of their infrastructure to AWS.

I wonder if Alton Brown has more sway than I thought. He's done a whole series of rants over the years on his show about how chicken don't have fingers. Then, in his last live stage show, he told a hilarious story about how he made chicken feet for his daughter when she insisted that chicken do have fingers.
Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

It's a loaded question, with no right answer. According to the article, the same speaker claimed that there was a culture of white supremacy at the company. There were demands to stop 'protecting' an exec who had expressed conservative views in the past.

Do you now or have you ever had sympathy for the positions of the communist party?

Well, do I mean the position that anybody who disagrees with the leadership should be sent to the gulag, or do I mean progressive taxation? Sorry, it's not clear--now answer quickly, before you're judged on your hesitation! Anything you say may be enthusiastically used against you in future discussions! Are you a racist, or do you admit here in public that this company has a racist culture?!
Problems with ancient musical scales
The overlap might indeed be small outside the hobby space, but I'd like to note that some MCU, e.g. the RP2040 (of Raspberry Pico board) have additional hardware ("PIO") and support for those (in the form of an assembler) in a MicroPython implementation, which allows for some hard real-time applications with latencies in the sub-us range. So with sufficient hardware support, performance and latency in the language used to program the core might not matter.

The PIO's "state-machines" in the RP2040 offer fairly limited functionality, but the principle applies also to more capable hardware like TI's Sitara MCUs and FPGAs with soft-core CPUs.
This appears to be by design. People have been demanding a budget capping service [0] for a decade now. AWS would continue to bill for compromised accounts [1]. AWS "free" offerings can cost a lot more than you think [2].

I agree with you about the decision not to reflexively fire those responsible for the list. Though for the conversation to veer towards white supremacy and for ~30% of the company to leave, I do wonder if something else was going on there. I could be a bad judge of humans, but if it was just one guy overreacting, I would think that fewer people would have quit.
