No an employee should not have to accept anything, and in the US does not have to.

My key point here is that in companies that allow discussions, I can ask questions of the policies I disagree with to understand what motivates the policies. I can propose alternative viewpoints. Often, via having open uncensored discussions I find that it is much easier to disagree and commit

In the Emmet / Trump example, he explained the reasoning (we are a platform) and allowed us to grumble. Had there also been a policy that anyone complaining would be terminated, I’m not so sure I would have deployed the website that day.

Hope that answers your question
I’m working with a lot of IoT and more complex autonomous systems, and would really like to have something that’d perform as a local root of trust. The NXP still seems one of the better options presuming they actually fix the CVE. There’s likely others like me as well. If Oxide made an open chip with an appropriate PUF I’d love to be able to buy it!

Or perhaps the Raspberry Pi folks could be talked to adding one to their Pico boards. ;)

P.S. TI also has trust zone chips, all NDA bound, but various levels of open source firmware.
Avalanche's proof of stake appears to be far more efficient that proof of space.

That's the thing though, it doesn't matter whether you think something is "actual racism". It matters whether the person on the receiving end thinks it is racist, or racism adjacent. And making fun of people's names is absolutely racism adjacent. It dehumanizes the person on the receiving end by treating one of their fundamental self identifiers as a joke. It may not dehumanize them to the same degree as a slur, an offensive stereotype, "blackface", or similar, but it is absolutely dehumanizing. I listened to people who have been on the receiving end, and I believe them when they say that this hurts them and offends them. Is it as bad as some other forms of racism? Arguably no. But is it on the spectrum of racism? Absolutely.

This is what empathy looks like: you listen to the one on the receiving end and you believe what they say about how they feel. At the end of the day you have the right to decide that this isn't "actual racism" in your own mind, but that doesn't change the reality that the one on the receiving end still feels bad.
I'm from Hungary (currently the top on the official list of deaths/millions of people), where people were so scared, that the first wave was almost non-existant. Now it's the opposite, though at least people are getting vaccinated aggressively, they just don't wait enough for the vaccines to get into effect.

Another example is my girlfriend who is from Colombia: people were very careful last year, but now there's a huge demonstration happening because of a proposed tax reform, which shows how desparate people are like, and how much it overwrites their fear of COVID. I'm sure that well see the results in the number of deaths in a month or two there.

BE-4 had years of delay and the initial version is way under powered compared to its size and potential and will not be reused. They had huge issues with it and that has likely delayed the Vulcan rocket considerably.

Its only comparable to the Raptor in because of the fuel and that it is 'staged' in terms of most metrics its far behind.

Also whoever came with this ridiculous analogy probably goes to a restaurant and then eats there their every meal for the next 2 or 3 years, thinks restaurants have popular multi billion marketplaces of silverware where they charge 30% to providers, which is a significant part of their revenue, and at the same time their own silverware factory which doesn't get the fee, lives in a world where 2 restaurant chains own 99.9% of the market...
In doing so the company would take the political position that standing up to abusive behaviour can end up with the victim being punished by being transferred.

Consider if the conflict was over one employee insisting on using racial slurs instead, and the victim being moved rather than the aggressor disciplined.

To me a stance like that would make me quit as a matter of principle, and I'd also avoid doing business with a company if I was aware of such a policy.
I’d rather an inefficient system than one with holes in it. Better someone getting aid who doesn’t need it than someone not getting aid who does need it.

The demand for oxygen in the National Capital Region and surrounding North Indian states brings up an important question - is respiratory distress worsened due to air pollution? I hope researchers are studying this because, if true, this could be a potential trigger to ramp up the need to tackle air pollution now rather than kicking the can down the road.

I have a feeling air pollution is not that important politically because people haven't felt adverse health effects in the short term.
Right, and raising the minimum wage is an attempt to control that by putting the costs back on the employer.

I am also tempted to use their products now, even though I don't necessarily see their value inherently (they just don't fit my style of apps) simply to reward their behavior.
Not too surprising though. Most of the free speech related complaints from right wing groups in the US are entirely self centered, and their own free speech platforms, forums, and etc are heavily moderated to push only their own speech / talking points. Even to the point of moderating any hint of dissent among even like minded people on their own platforms ... they've no interest in the kind of free speech they advocate for when it is their own platform, or in this case someone they're financially concerned about.

It's not idealism about free speech, it plays out more like an ongoing narrative of political convenience with wonky bills / laws passed with little hope of surviving legal challenges.
Was just looking for this, will give it a go
NASA usually only has one contractor. Having two is very rare.

In this case, they would have liked two, but didn't have the funding for it.

The competition was set up to provide freedom to the contractors. NASA wanted contractors to bring ideas. They had minimum criteria but NASA tried to keep these general.

The contractors were then evaluated, technically and for management, and their financial bid was evaluated.
Is there any way to extend the lifetime of a SSD by allowing its capacity to decrease by replenishing its reserve of replacement blocks so that the SSD could continue to operate until it runs out of writable blocks?
Based on the post there doesn’t seem to be anything racially motivated so the pyramid doesn’t seem to fit since the list was funny names, including 6/70 non-English names.

Even if it was specifically offensive, bringing up a diagram like that in a specific instance as a path to genocide is such overkill it kind of kills the discussion.

While I think that system racism and casual denegration is bad and society needs to work to eliminate it, putting it on the same spectrum as genocide is like showing a chart that includes a light bulb and the sun as part of a discussion on luminosity. Yes, it’s technically correct but not useful for conversation. Making fun of foreign peoples’ names and genocide are both racist. But the odds of such an act leading to genocide is googol:1 given that there are billions of acts of this type of name racism daily vs rare instances of genocide.

Public outrage seems to be based on a very low-res view of reality drawn from viral sound-bites, so I doubt that's how any public outrage would work.

> make a homophobic comment at work

See, but here is the rub. What if the comment is just "according to my islamic faith, my religious belief system does not support gay marriage".

For all I know, you would call this statement homophobic, but if you punished this person for saying this a couple times, it would absolutely be illegal.

> Nothing to do with Islam.

Yes it does. Many people, do not support gay marriage because it a part of their faith. And if you fired or punished them for stating that this is their faith, then it would absolutely be illegal discrimination on your part.
It has produced poor people easily to be able to store their wealth something that they can both afford and isn't constantly being debased. Something they can trade without an intermediary, that can't be trivially censored or confiscated. Something that doesn't require taking great risks and effort in transporting like physical gold. I think that's definitely worth something.

Crypto only needs resources as much as it needs security and throughput. More efficient cryptos will win as they are cheaper.

There’s a technology out that you might like as a libertarian. The tech is untraceable, doesn’t have a built in chain of ownership logged on the internet, and everyone measures the value of their latest blockchain based off of it. It’s called cash.
This is obviously wrong: decisions are negotiations. Rules are merely the next step in a continuous process. Rules change, participants change, environments change.
People always say that though. A few weeks go by, hype dies down, no one cares. Boycotts are rarely effective. Most people just want software that works, and migrating creates time and effort that affects business. I’m sure most people who cancelled were already on the verge of it before.
In this case, the sales office is their main office, and the Chinese "subsidiary" is where the main body of the company really is.

And part of the problem is cultural. There is social capital that exists alongside human and financial capital, and because its hard to quantify we end up with this sort of hidden value that isn't accounted for.

I would change Stalin to Khrushchev, but otherwise the above is accurate. (Mao respected Stalin as the head of the communist world, but not Soviet successors.)

There is some unholy alliance between the CCP and Wall St. that needs to be rooted out. All the foreign investments, BRI, etc. are funded by Wall St., which is what Trump/Pompeo was working on at the end of 2020.

(At some point yuan is useless, and you need USD to do business outside China.)

In case you don't know:

- Chinese companies listed on US exchanges have 2 sets of books: the real one in China, and whatever they feel like showing to the SEC, if any, depending on "Chinese national security" (when Chinese companies list they're "private", but when they get audited there's "national security interests.") Trump was in the process of fixing that.

- China can borrow money from US capital markets, but I've never heard of them paying it back. In fact, there's been a long-running lawsuit about an early unpaid bond issue.

- CALpers had a CCP agent near the top, which allowed him to direct Calif. pension investments to China. He has "left".

So there's a situation where the CCP controls about $2 trillion of US "cash" that they use to exert their influence globally at the expense of the US.

China desperately needs the US to import chips and USD - they can't live without either. Trump's team figured that out, but Biden has foolishly resumed both, squandering a great non-military means of controlling the CCP.

But it gets worse - once US funds invest more than 5% or 10% of their assets in China, there's no way to divest - they're at the mercy of the CCP. Just like those companies that built plants in China, like Volkswagen - how can you get out?
Being infected isn't a binary thing. There is a big difference from swallowing 30 Coronavirus particles from touching your face to breathing in 300,000 from someone coughing in your face.

If you're young the first is probably a mild cold while the latter is a trip to the ICU.

Part of bringing the virus under control is reducing the amount of particles people are exposed to so they have a better chance of fighting off the virus.

For me, it is generally > 2 minutes, and “release build” cover any build that leave your machine, e.g. nightly builds, beta builds, test builds to a specific user to track down some issue, etc.

Signing the agreement is also not just clicking “Agree”, you have to hunt for the contract online first. Last time I did this, their 2FA was down, so just logging in took me about a minute.

It feels like a lot of friction that serves absolutely no purpose, which makes it so extremely infuriating.

This is from the same company whose former CEO pressured a developer to reduce the boot time of the Macintosh (and got a 28 second speedup).

Loved octoberCMS as it let me basically code my website structure and the complete* HTML directly from its admin interface.

*the actual complete HTML! No CMS cruft or anything added to my websites pages I dont want to be there.

If you are looking for a CMS and have some coding skills I think you’ll very much enjoy working with this one.

Will be looking into how to update my websites to WinterCMS then.
> As far as subscriptions itself goes, Apollo Server 2 has a superficial integration with subscriptions-transport-ws that doesn't tie in to the plugin system, federation, Studio reporting, etc. And subscriptions-transport-ws isn't even the best maintained package that solves this problem. So 3.0 will remove that integration. I do hope that we do the work to add subscription support to the Apollo server-side platform as a whole sometime soon, but I can't promise a timeline for that

An open question may be whether this proposal actually forces the platforms to allow all politicians to post, or if it actually just mandates equal access

It seems there should be some discretion to me, for example if a politician is posting content that otherwise violates the rules, is it ok to ban the politician for the content of the post?

For instance, with the equal access to ads for politicians, it seems like it ought to be the platforms right to ban grotesque images of aborted fetuses or gunshot victims (with or without connection to a political ad). If a politician repeatedly violates these rules, it seems like it should be ok to ban the politician on the basis of the content violating the rules
FWIW I'm not saying this is a good thing, or purposeful, but just that if the goal was to eliminate dissent, a whole bunch of people quitting is probably more or less accomplishing the goal.

Not the case. The farmer protests have been going on for months and it won't be much of a protest if they all went back home and spread the virus.

Yet another attempt by the BJP IT Cell to divert the attention onto anybody but the BJP government.
Yeah I think you're unusual.

I and my family each have price points in my head, once a restaurant charges more than that on the total line, we look for other options. $5 for good enough lunch, $10 for a great lunch, $20 for gourmet lunch, $20 for a great dinner, $40 for gourmet dinner.

I can find no law, or regulation, which specifies that cable operators are governed by those types of rules. Broadcast media (radio and television) are. As far as I know, Cable operators who run political ads do so because of the money they generate.
Fair compared to what? Why should the price for one be greater than another? The price of generating an NFT is the same no matter how many combinations.

As a user, I would not want willingly join in a new name system that benefits an arbitrary company so much. ICANN forces use of domain registrars so I have no choice. A future system should be better, I think.
That question never happens in places with a minimum wage. What you can do is support your employer by showing up early and/or helping out a few extra hours after the shift. Nothing in writing or by force.
of course you'll see staff leave if you cut pay. that's a deliberate choice by management, and not a question about tipped or untipped work.

i doubt there is real effect on the orders that customers place, but nobody's publishing their books, so who can say. in a systemic change in which every restaurant transitions to an untipped system, there would be no concern about losing out to a restaurant that continues to lower prices by exploiting servers.
"Protected class" was a creation of the legislature. The principle of Civil Rights Act is that Congress has the power to designate a group of people that businesses are not allowed to refuse service to.

So if we take that the legislature has that ability, then this law should be ok. If the legislature does not have that ability, then the Civil Rights Act would be in danger.
> They can technically exist?

Yes, assuming sufficiently (not very) expressive transaction signing on said chains. Assume Alice wishes to exchange 1 ABC for Dan's 1 DEF. Alice publishes a transaction for 1 ABC with a UTXO that must be signed by both Alice and Dan. She then provides a zero-knowledge proof that her private key for that signature hashes to XXX. Dan then publishes a transaction for 1 DEF with a UTXO that requires a signature from Alice[0] and a hash preimage of XXX. Alice then pulishes a transaction moving that 1 DEF to her own whereever, which (since second-preimage attacks are hard) contains the private key Dan needs to claim the 1 ABC UTXO.

So this requires that chain ABC supports 2-of-2 (or k-of-n) signature requirements, and that chain DEF supports signature-and-hash-preimage requirements.

This simple protocol is vulnerable to losing money entirely if one party abandons it partway though, but that can mitigated by exchanging eg 0.1 ABC/DEF at a time, or by a more sophisticated exchange protocol.

Edit: 0: using a different key than the XXX preimage.
As a conservative, its not that educated conservatives think society is "fair", in that their aren't people with more or less advantages. Rather, we accept that life is "fair enough", and true equality, in the sense that everyone has the exact same capital/life outcomes is worse for society than it is good.

To be more fair, is better, in the sense that rewarding meritocracy is the goal, but even here there is a fundamental unavoidable unfairness born out of the natural talents and genetic predispositions of individuals making them uniquely advantaged for a given sport, field, career, etc.
Will this even be an issue when we have CPUs with hundreds/thousands of cores that can just sandbox processes to their own set of cores/cache with exclusive unshared memory?
I think you are right in a way, but all we are doing is setting a minimum market rate for employees so that they can't be exploited. If a business can't afford that employee at that rate then it can't afford to do business without being exploitive and so it needs to reconfigure itself until it can.

I am not saying it's a net good or bad for the economy by the way, I don't think I am qualified for that. But I can tell be pretty confident that exploitive wages are bad for employees and good for employers, a balance for which we have a lever to adjust.
