I think there are some types of felons that probably don't get hired as managers after release, no matter how long it's been since their crime. For exactly the reason we're discussing. Who in their right mind would put a man who had been convicted of rape in charge of women? How much potential liability would the company be taking on if he were to happen to harm one of his reports? It would be astronomical. Who would hire a convicted embezzler as a CFO? I mean I'm sure it happens but I can only imagine it's the exception rather than the rule.
Politics is an expression of your moral values. It's always been an important part of a person.

My father has told me stories about being around Washington D.C. in the 70s. How it wasn't all that uncommon to stumble across a dead body in the winter. Whether homeless or drunk, they'd fall asleep and die in the cold. One particularly bad winter, he found a dead body in the stairwell leading up to his apartment. I'm sure it still happens today but the way he spoke about it made me realize how quickly the world changes.

The Apple employee letter shared a number of quotes. Now, I'm not going to debate whether they are or they aren't sexist. That seems to be something that people look at through their own prism, and it doesn't seem productive to try to convince one way or the other. What matters is that enough Apple employees felt that those statements were sexist, which is an objective fact that would also be very relevant if there were to be a later lawsuit surrounding this person's at work conduct.
so you saw what i was trying to point out. the problem is not political things. it’s people that are turning a difference of opinion into “cancelling” someone else.

my opinion is that you literally cannot ban politics at work. people will still talk about things. you need a culture of tolerance and openness.
That Apple comment is bullshit. We've confirmed that the TBW numbers from smartctl match the actual quantity of data written. You can also see the excess I/O in Apple's own Activity Monitor. The lifetime usage numbers smartctl reports are in line with what a high-end SSD would report, and there is no way for smartctl to "make up" the data. It's real data coming from the NVMe controller. There's no possible way to fake anything like that. That person is not authorized to speak for the company and is probably making stuff up.

Apple are aware of it, the bug is fixed in 11.4, and once the corresponding XNU source code drops I'll be happy to diff it and show you exactly what they changed in the swapper to fix it and debunk your "debunking".

I assume Java apps are the same way -- I've never encountered (to my knowledge) a java-based website that wasn't slow. I assume anything that relies on a huge framework probably also had that framework to blame for most performance problems.

“When at work, steer clear of politics. This rule, generally accepted around the world, does not apply in techland.”

Sure, let’s just ignore the long and important history of organized labor around the world. They’re imagining a fantasy land of white collar labor, which in the west was historically white and male. For everyone not in that sliver of white collar work, work for sure was a place where politics were both discussed and engaged in.

Not sure if everyone is aware how large these molecules are. According to this paper [1] the molecular mass of the spike (S) protein for SARS-CoV-2 is between 180 and 200 kilodaltons.

A dalton is formally 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom, or roughly the same as the atomic mass unit I learned about in high school chemistry.

So the molecular weight or mass of the spike protein is approximately 180,000 to 200,000 atomic mass units! That seems huge to me.

It's not that they are lying, per se. The pull rating is idealized. A trailer needs 10-15% total weight on the tongue to pull safely, and a travel trailer in particular is sensitive to being balanced correctly. So if you have only the driver in the truck and no cargo, you might get to the pull rating.

But realistically, payload is what you hit first, especially a family towing a travel trailer. A very typical half-ton pickup will have around 1500 lbs of payload capacity [0]. This includes driver, passengers, cargo, everything but fuel. The authoritative number is particular to the truck and is given on a sticker on the door jamb. So if you have a trailer with a 7500 GVWR, you need to plan on around 1050 lbs on the tongue, which leaves you ~450 for everything else. Two adults could easily put you over. Add kids, dog, coolers, firewood for the campsite, etc, and suddenly a half-ton isn't looking like a good choice for a trailer this size (7500 GVWR is what a typical ~30 ft travel trailer is spec'd at).

There are other factors that also come into play, like wheelbase vs trailer length, but in general I think most people don't have much to worry about if they respect the payload rating on the truck. Many people ignore it (on purpose, or not) however. I've seen more than one F150 towing a 35 foot trailer. On anything other than flat, level highway with no crosswind and little traffic I think that would be dangerous.

[0] Technically Ford will sell you a particular F150 configuration with a 3270 payload, higher than many F250s, but IMO it's still not as comfortable towing as a bog standard F250. But if you don't tow very often the compromise may be worth it since the F150 is significantly more comfortable for daily driving.
The author can choose to have articles in front of the paywall. I believe it defaults to behind the paywall, and if you want the Medium aggregators to be able to share your piece, it has to be behind the paywall.

Basically the tradeoff is to have better circulation among subscribers or non-subscribers. I always choose the latter.
I'm not convinced that security is actually that much higher. I agree with your examples, but the complexity of most environments now is such that you almost have to know what you're doing in order to attempt to stay secure.

This gets tricky when employers ask workers to internalize the company values (incorporating them into their identities). Probably helps with retention, but then you get everything else that comes with identity. If you represent the company, and vice versa, it's only natural to want the company to use its influence in ways that embody that, even if it seems superfluous from a purely financial standpoint.

There's a case to be made that we should tone back the importance of work in all of our lives, which would potentially help with these issues. I understand the need to defend minorities from bigots, and even from milder, less intentional forms of discrimination/bias that can accumulate over the years to cause a strong drag on your life. I still like to think there are ways to do that without a lot of outrage and constant, inane meetings, but who knows.
The only place XOR could be used is to replace the OR. As you say, replacing the AND NOT with an XOR would supress Alt + s.

Even replacing the OR with XOR is not obviously an improvement as it is not clear that we know what the correct behavior would be in the edge case where a keyboard event is emitted with both the control and command flags set.

But from an ethical perspective, the pain of a random person is just as important, right?

> Animals look a bit like us and show similar pain reaction so we can emphasize somehow. But for everything after plants, we are getting too far.

Animals don't just show similar pain reactions - the biochemical pathways are the exact same. For me, I have to assume basic physical pain is nearly the same, at least for mammals. For plants I don't know. It's possible they have some pain, but I'd expect it to be very different and lesser. For computers I see no reason to think there's any physical pain (though perhaps in the future)

> “Given this prediction, we ask ‘why are non-replicable papers accepted for publication in the first place?’”

Obviously, because journals don't attempt replication, nor should they.

A study will only have replication by another researcher/team after it's been published. Or not, in which case that's publishable as well.

This is how science works and is supposed to work.

The problem should rather be: why are journals accepting papers with citations to debunked papers that don't also cite the debunking papers?

I've had plenty of friends have a paper get sent back for revisions because it was missing a newer citation. This should be a major responsibility of reviewers. So why aren't peer reviewers staying on top of the literature?

They are. Focault and critical race theory embedded themselves deeply in a lot of non STEM degrees a while ago, which is where HR candidates usually come from.

That generation is now running HR in a lot of these companies.

> Critical race theory scholars question foundational liberal concepts such as Enlightenment rationality, legal equality, and Constitutional neutrality, and challenge the incrementalist, step-by-step approach of traditional civil-rights discourse;[12] they favor a race-conscious approach to social transformation, rejecting liberal embrace of affirmative action, color blindness, role modeling, or the merit principle; and an approach that relies more on political organizing, in contrast to liberalism's reliance on rights-based remedies.[27]

If you see racism, sexism, etc. outside of RC, please don’t bring it in. For example, please don’t start a discussion about the latest offensive comment from Random Tech Person Y.

Everyone who comes to RC should have the same opportunity to focus on programming, and people from oppressed groups often find discussions of racism, sexism, etc. particularly hard to tune out.

There are many places to discuss and debate these issues, but there are few where people can avoid them. RC is one of those places.

Point of order, in the US, religious belief/creed is a protected class. You can't fire someone for being Jewish, for example.

On the other hand, certain beliefs of certain religions would be potentially incompatible with workplace discrimination law, including law that protects other protected classes. So it gets a little murky. One thing you can say is that if you have a religious belief that isn't causing you to bother other people, that's protected in the U.S.

You are correct about political beliefs, though. At least as far as I can find, political affiliation is not protected. But even if it were, this would necessarily not cover all possible political beliefs, for the same murkiness reasons as above.

>> If an employee was a member of a fascist party it'd quite literally be illegal to fire them on that basis.

I think the moment company starts taking heat on internet/talk shows/etc. for "employing fascists" that employee will get booted out for poor performance/HR complaints/staff cuts/etc. Or somehow he will resign himself ("no-no, we didn't force him out" company spokesman said in a statement).

I agree with this impression. I often reflect on our times and wonder why there seems to be such a stark difference. Why do we lack such figures, pushing the boundaries in the same impressive way? Is it that not enough time has passed to fully realize the impact of the discoveries and works of our time, like there has been for the work of the early 1900's? Have the problems gotten harder that we are bumping up against a kind of soft boundary that's preventing the seemingly frequent revolutionary breakthroughs? Or is it a matter separate from the practice of science or art; a phenomenon of culture that is impacting the our capacity to discover? I think it's an interesting question to mull over.
I think there will be ambiguity and good faith discussions and clarifications to settle expectations. I also think that people who insist on it will always be able to split hairs and invent arguments.

If the company has a policy that says "No unwanted touching of coworkers" and one employee hovers his hand over coworkers while taunting "I'm not touching you" the problem is not with the guideline. Likewise, if you say "No politics at work" and someone keeps coming up with creative arguments of the form "Technically isn't this politics" then the problem isn't with the guideline either.
