Yeah, but if you hire a fascist and you know they're a fascist in a company where the majority of your workers is not a fascist, you're going to have problems. Even if you discover after hiring them that they're fascist you'll have unhappy workers. You'll find a way to fire that fascist or lose the rest of the company.

It's the fundamental question here. Is justice a "means to an end" or "an end in itself"? You're with the former, I'm with the latter.

I would also attack the notion of "evidence" here. The previous poster is not making an empirical argument at all, he's only pretending to. If Scandinavia had more crime than SF, he would pick another example (notice how he dismisses Singapore for...reasons). He's defending an a priori belief, as am I. Empiricism fails us here, we're arguing over values.

> It strikes me as really strange to consider punishments for crimes as a sort of state-sponsored revenge.

Justice is carried out by a disinterested third party (the state), revenge is not.
California is definitely not a right-to-work state.[0] It does have at-will employment, just like almost every other state. But Apple employees are free to unionize at any time and, if successful, require dues for unionized employees.

In fact, if CA is so friendly to unions and big tech companies are so progressive, why are none of the big tech companies unionized?

A benevolent guess would be: It's probably related to their AR/VR effort. They are basically betting on AR/VR (incl Quest, Portal, etc) to be the next computing platform and voice input (also output) is a key user interaction model. IIRC, they are building a team to replicate Google Assistant and Siri.
I don’t think that is really true. The government can’t suppress speech due to political disagreements with it but private individuals (and “legal individuals” aka corporations) can discriminate based on political beliefs, even religious beliefs. Gender, race, national origin, these are traditional protected categories, and we are adding more as a consensus grows that other sorts of prejudice are harmful to the social compact, but you can be fired for thinking differently in a heartbeat. As mentioned elsewhere, unions can even out some of the capriciously used power of the bosses, but otherwise I think the law is not protecting anyone.

Are you sure Ergodic theory does the trick? When I hear people like David Albert or Sean Carroll speak, they always make clear you need some kind of initial/prior conditions or else stat mech does not guarantee why we only see the forward arrow of time. If we assume we can reduce all physical process to the behavior of fundamental particles (or fields), and the physical laws that describe the microscopic world are entirely symmetrical (CPT theorem), you get Loschmidt's Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loschmidt%27s_paradox. They say the Past Hypothesis (low entropy big bang prior condition) is necessary to resolve it.

*And the t-assymetry of the weak interaction isn't the reason according to the wikipedia article on time asymmetry - you still need initial conditions. "Time reversal violation is unrelated to the second law of thermodynamics, because due to the conservation of the CPT symmetry, the effect of time reversal is to rename particles as antiparticles and vice versa. Thus the second law of thermodynamics is thought to originate in the initial conditions in the universe. "

Except in SF there's no "non-punitive methods of crime reduction". They just declared that it's OK to rob grocery stores or pharmacies, as long as you take less than a grand. At least that's what it looks on the ground - whatever the initial design was, both the criminals know they can steal with impunity, and the cops know it's no longer their business to catch the thieves. And so the thievery thrives, and the stores are collapsing under this assault. We may talk about Scandinavia all day but I don't think that's what is happening there. Whatever nice theory they had about it when proposing it, it is clear from the result that it is a complete failure if reducing crime were any of their goals.
I agree with your sentiment that we are more than replacable robots.

But I think for a long time 'a whole person' referred to your character, your hobbies, your family, your quirks. And politics was a small, and usually private part of that.

We are in a time now where politics is tribal and has usurped a huge part of people's identities. To the point they see the other tribe as the devil merely by association.

And I could see how that would cause conflicts in a business that are detrimental to the bottom line

Seeing as how it makes no sense that rendering at 2x resolution cause 1/3 of the power draw

My bet is that another scaling step is causing it; and HiDPI mode is "native", so no scaling.

You can see this in the comparison of the two screenshots; the first one looks like an antialising filter was applied to all the pixels and halved the resolution (so a 2x2 block of 4 pixels turns into one averaged "huge" pixel), the second one doesn't.
> This is a pretty vague statement especially as OP mentioned fiction. Not some book espousing his political views.

The book in question is a memoir by Antonio Garcia Martinez from what I’ve read. While there’s an argument to be made that even memoir and non-fiction are in a way fiction, this wasn’t an outright work of fiction. It contained misogynistic statements you’d expect to be true to how the author thinks because of the context of the work.

There entire career is based on stores being unwilling to risk employees by forcing a confrontation and turning stolen consumer goods into drugs.

Change the dynamic without putting people at risk. Trying to break into a business is a different sort of crime. It's one in a lot of jurisdictions you can legally shoot offenders, it's worth prosecution, it's a felony worth 5 or more years in prison.

Enforce it and this career won't make much sense anymore because it's too hard to be practical for the same reason that junkies aren't robbing banks regularly.

> the goal of research, which is to expand the scope and quality of human knowledge.

But are we so certain this is ever what drove science? Before we dive into twiddling knobs with a presumption of understanding some foundational motivation, it's worth asking. Sometimes the stories we tell are not the stories that drive the underlying machinery.

For e.g., we have a lot of wishy-washy "folk theories" of how democracy works, but actual political scientists know that most of the ones people "think" drive democracy, are actually just a bullshit story. According to some, it's even possible that the function of these common-belief fabrications is that their falsely simple narrative stabilizes democracy itself in the mind of the everyman, due to the trustworthiness of seemingly simple things. So it's an important falsehood to have in the meme pool. But the real forces that make democracy work are either (a) quite complex and obscure, or even (b) as-of-yet inconclusive. [1]

I wonder if science has some similar vibes: folks theory vs what actually drives it. Maybe the folk theory is "expand human knowledge", but the true machinery is and always has been a complex concoction of human ego, corruption and the fancies of the wealthy, topped with an icing of natural human curiosity.

I don’t really buy the comparison entirely. Presumably the sports boss is doing something patently illegal, and obviously there are alternative career paths. OP is working in academia, which is socially acceptable, and feels that this is what is normal in their academic field, necessary for their goals, and isn’t actively harmful.

I wouldn’t necessarily condone the behavior, but what would you do in the situation? To always whistleblow whenever something doesn’t feel right and risk the politics? To quit working in the field if your concerns aren’t heard? To never cite papers that have absolutely any errors? I think it’s a tough situation and not productive to say OP isn’t behaving morally.
They definitely don’t go through the same quality control, the 3rd party screens I’ve bought have always had some sort of minor visual defect.

> Eh, maybe, but at the same time, I kind of got the feeling that the researchers were treating the IRB as one more layer of security to get around.

Which suggests an entirely new line of inquiry: testing IRB procedures to see whether unethical proposals will be approved if described in misleading terms.

While we're at it, we should check to see whether proposals ostensibly from people who are not faculty or students, or who perhaps don't even exist, are ever approved.

Regardless of the results, we can conclude that having to sign a statement promising to never do unethical research before submitting a proposal, and insisting on identity verification before proposals are reviewed, will lower the chances of unethical research proposals slipping through.
Yeah, all of this, and the idea that any of it is going to change without people actively fighting against it is asinine, honestly. Reporting something through the HR chain is almost never effective (if you’re even in a big enough company to have HR, and you’re not being harassed by the very managers to whom you might otherwise report), and it’s often detrimental. Have we all forgotten that HR exists to protect the company, not the employees?

I don’t know what the best way to solve problems like this is, but the solution is probably not “trust the same authority that engendered the culture to fix it.”
But your point doesn't stand because they aren't cyan!

Single antibody, yes. A lot of different antibodies are made. The ones that seem to act "better" get made the most.

As far as can be understood, the immune system does random self-mutation of its antibody generation and starts picking winners at local maxima.

The result is antibodies start targeting various parts of viruses, bacteria, and other invaders.

Binding and neutralizing the spike protein neutralizes the virus, so the vaccines used it. Upside: immediately effective vaccine. Downside: Its possible random antibodies in natural infection could target another critical protein to covid19 that is not on the spike, but also shuts down replication.

So that's also in the field of study for covid, as well as influenza, vaccines. Is there some part of the viruses we could target instead of the spike(or the influenza hemagglutinin) that would cause immunity against the entire class of virus? Such is the search for a universal influenza vaccine.

You can't compare the US to those countries because they don't have blacks who contribute a vastly disproportionate amount to crime in the US.

I can't help but think that there was a certain special something that existed among that generation of late modern intellectuals immediately preceding and proceeding from the first world war. There's an intensity, a level of discipline and seriousness with which they engaged in their work that seems unique in human history. The twelve-tone music of Schoenberg, the Cubism of Picasso, Einstein's field theories, and Wittgenstein's Tractatus. All strove to break new ground and push the state of the art beyond what was comprehensible at the time with an air of complete seriousness that seems so lacking today. They treated all of their endeavors, even the creative, with the rigor of a hard science and sought to construct theoretical frameworks around what had always been ephemeral, intangible notions.

You missed a crucial part of the quote:

> The retail executives and police officers emphasized the role of organized crime in the thefts. And they told the supervisors that Proposition 47, the 2014 ballot measure that reclassified nonviolent thefts as misdemeanors if the stolen goods are worth less than $950, had emboldened thieves.

You are quoting the police and business owners, who are very much a biased source. How do they know what the causes are? Do you think they've commissioned a survey or done research? It's just as possible they were against Proposition 47 to begin with and the NYT is supporting their agenda for their own reasons.
