I don't think prosecution is the right tool but if we were going down that road material misrepresentations only would fit with anti-fraud standard for companies. Just drawing dumb, unpopular, or 'biased' conclusions shouldn't be a crime but data tampering would fall into the scope. Not a great idea as it would add a chilling effect, lawyer-friction and expenses and still be hard to enforce for little direct gain.

I personally favor requirements which call for bundling raw datasets with the "papers". The data storage and transmission is very cheap now so there isn't a need to restrict ourselves to just texts. We should still be able to check all of the thrown out "outliers" from the datasets. An aim should be to make the tricks for massaging data nonviable. Even if you found your first data set was full of embarassing screw ups due to doing it hungover and mixing up step order it could be helpful to get a collection of "known errors" to analyze. Optimistically it could also uncover phenomenon scientests thought was them screwing up like say cosmic background radiation being taken as just noise and not really there.

Paper reviewing is already a problem but adding some transparency should help.

You used the term “homeless” after saying you hate it?
Hum, no reason in particular, I mean replace blog with Twitter or TikTok, or really any public sphere. In my scenario what matters is just that you learn that your manager hates your kind and is active in publicizing that hate. Would that not make you feel uncomfortable going back to work as their subordinate?

I'm not talking about firing them, I'm just asking if you'd now feel uncomfortable working with them?
Looks like my 5500M GPU draws 10W fewer when I change my external 4K monitor from Scaled (to accommodate for every OS UI element being minuscule) to the display's native resolution. It makes the OS barely usable from a UI standpoint, but the fans are now a lot quieter. I'm on a Dell monitor.

Is this by design?
If the manager continued to treat me professionally and fairly, why should I have a problem with their personal opinions? I'm not there to debate social issues, I'm there to do a job and make a living. As long as I can continue to do that, what does it matter what someone is thinking?

If you let your work and motivation for your own career get derailed by people's unexpressed opinions (that you went out of your way to hunt down for--what? to find something to be offended about?), that is something you should work on.
Congratulations on your launch.

fMRI has been at the avant-garde of p-hacking since its inception. I'm the co-author of several fMRI papers, but not responsible for the actual analysis. That was done by a PhD student under supervision by the head of the institute, fairly influential in his field. The first experiment didn't yield "significant" results, not even after a few months of trying all the possible ways to manipulate the data, but the values were close to acceptable. But since there was no budget to run another experiment, it was decided to add 8 subjects more. And lo and behold, after a few more months of data wrangling, there were significant blobs, and the article was published.

To add insult to injury: when subsequent experiments didn't give any interesting results, and the PhD didn't have enough material for graduation, they decided to split the data they already had by gene variants, because technology had just reached the point where that kind of analysis could be done by a sufficiently rich lab. And there was a new result! The original blob was now seen in two areas instead of one, depending on variant. Highly publishable. That that meant that the original finding was now invalidated wasn't even considered.

edit: this took place between 2000 and 2010.
I'm not really surprised about the results related to Nature (and Science to a lesser degree). I have seen it multiple times that Nature editors (who are not experts in the field) have overruled reviewer recommendations to reject, because the results were exciting.

The incentives for Nature are not to produce great science, but to sell journals and that requires them to give the impression of being on the forefront of "scientific discovery". I've in fact been told by an editor "our job is to make money, not great science)".

The irony is that their incentives also make them very risk averse, so they will not publish results which don't have a buzz around them. I know of several papers which created new "fields" which were rejected by the editors. The incentive also results in highly cited authors having an easier time to get published in Nature.

I should say that this is typically much better in the journals run by expert editors, published by the technical societies like e.g. IEEE.

That's the meaning I'm familiar with in the US. Jonathan Coulton's song Not About You [also American] makes it quite explicit that those two phrases in particular are synonymous.

The user imgabe has been doing a good job explaining this. But the question here is not someone treats you poorly and you find evidence that they are prejudicial against you. Imagine the converse, suppose Antonio actually treated you the best amongst your team. Should the others be fired for being worse than a “known” sexist? Known in quotes because if they say one thing but act in the opposite manner, I’m of the opinion actions speak louder than words.

if my manager constantly tweeted content that made it seem like they hated men in tech, but treated me fairly, why should I care about what they post on twitter?
FYI, the compression speed numbers from the paper:

gzip = 17 MB/s
xz = 1 MB/s
CMIX = 1.6 kB/s
NNCP = 2~3 kB/s

(Note that NNCP is using RTX 3090 here.)

Not only this is unacceptable for hot/warm data, also it's still impractical for cold data. It takes 10~16 years to compress or decompress 1 TB data.
> Because in the real world if Bob wrote a paperback titled "Women are Bad for Democracy and They Shouldn't Be Able to Vote", did press junkets about this book, and actively encouraged people to buy it, then yes, he'd get fired by pretty much every company in this country and very few people would have an issue with that.

I would have an issue with that. This is me, right here, having an issue with that. Again, remember, Bob is unfailingly civil to all his co-workers and clients and what-have-you. He does his job, at least adequately. Why are you firing him? Because he has a bad opinion?

If other employees want to set up debates with Bob outside of work, or on their own time, picket bookstores where his book being sold, they're free to do that. As long as they can act civil at work and focus on selling plumbing supplies or whatever it is we do, who cares?

You are arguing that having an unpopular opinion is grounds to deprive someone of the ability to make a living. To feed and shelter themselves. I know you think this power would only ever be used in the most egregiously, obviously bad situations, but historically that is not the case. It is not the case right here in this real scenario. It is not something we, as a society, should tolerate. As soon as it is allowed, it gets immediately abused. People need to be able to think, and say, whatever they want. It is only actions that warrant punishment.
What's weird about it? This is true of essentially all words.

I live in East Asia. I was once dreamed I could work and live in SF one day, as many tech people do.

After several trips there, I was totally disillusioned, and that's even before the COVID breakout. The glamorous side, that I already know from the Internet. However, the nasty side, that I didn't expect at all. On one hand, there was window busting and all, and there were no effective actions taken to address those. On the other hand, the system doesn't seem to care about poor and homeless people to help them and lift them from their situations. It's the worse situation on both sides of the story, and there's no fix in sight.

An outstanding issue is the price of the rent. I grew up in commie blocks and I hated it, just like everybody else: it was cheap, ugly, and depressing. After traveled around the world, I realized: the counterpart of commie blocks around the world was not nice apartments as we imagined, but slums and homelessness.
Well just think about all the times in history where religious culture has the upper hand, or anti-communism, or communism. To me it doesn’t matter what the dogma of the day is, the behavior of loud elements in society shouting down free expression, or unorthodox thought, is pretty repugnant. It’s not as simple as saying society is just expressing displeasure. That’s fine, but I think we can all see a different beast rising up here in the US lately that is historically recognizable. Read the opening of The Three Body Problem - that shit was real, and those social movements are a liability for any culture as it’s part of human behavior. There’s nothing exceptional about the US that prevents our society from falling victim to political cults.

There’s not only 2 sides.

Some of those hit uncomfortably close to home, when I was a teenager living with a single mom and no child support from my foreign father (Bulgarian justice system of the late 1980s and early 1990s could not be assed to do anything about him and even simple replies to letters from Czechoslovak courts took years to arrive).

Especially the bad shoes. Oh my, the bad shoes, leaking and tearing themselves apart all the time. Walking around in portable puddles whenever it rained or the snow started melting. I hated that so much, but good shoes were too expensive.

Switzerland doesn't really have liberal gun laws. Ex-conscripts can keep their service weapon at home, but it's tightly regulated (ammos are sealed and aren't to be open except in case of need). You can't buy a gun in a supermarket the way you can in a Walmart in the US, or open/conceal carry a gun.

Gun ownership is high due to more or less half the population serving in the army, and the laws are probably more liberal than in neighbouring European countries, but you can't compare it in any way to the US.

From every place I've personally seen mention of protecting groups in terms of hiring, they always copy-paste a cookie-cutter list of "protected classes".

This is somewhat of an incomplete analsysis, because you can use light tiling with either forward and deferred. And that's pretty common nowadays. The real advantage to deferred is to save on quad overshading and balance the use of the GPUs. By making lighting homogeneous across the scene you'll have a lot better utilization of the GPU's resources, since there's no wasted pixel effort during the expensive lighting loop.

Downside is of course transparency and the need to dump your full material model into a G buffer...

I should've clarified, I was meaning in the context of Australian politics. A lot of Australian tech companies actually ban political donations as part of their anti-bribery and corruption policies.

If you look at donation data from the Australian Electoral Commission, there are no donations from tech companies [1]. The majority of donations are from banks, property developers, and mining companies.

I don't understand the point, all of the firms mentioned in the OP are headquartered and have the majority of their staff in California, where it's illegal to fire for political beliefs.

State, federal or Civil Rights Act or not, it's illegal.

California Labor Code 1101 and 1102 LC expressly forbids it, including retaliatory actions (which is a much lower bar than firing).

In California, being passed up for promotion or being discriminated against in ANY way as a result of your political beliefs or activities is illegal.
I'm not sure what you're arguing. If someone is into domination role playing and "brought that interest into the work place" (not quite sure what that means) then there is a very, very good chance they will get fired, and indeed many many people have been fired for unwelcome sexual discussions at work.
Maybe in US. Meeting people at work usually was (and probably still is) the most common way to find a romantic partner in Europe.

> It doesn’t mean Amazon the company is a once removed partner of every single company using their infrastructure.

I mean, that was my point: that Amazon prefers the optics of not being a partner to these companies, even though, technologically (not financially), there's no difference between what they're doing right now, and what they'd be doing if they ran a "Twitch for porn." Which is why they're just fine with being twice-removed partners to these companies, through vertical integrators.

Amazon are fine with e.g. Heroku and other PaaSes repackaging their IaaS services into convenient vertical-specific packages. Amazon don't want to run Heroku; they just want to eat 90% of Heroku's margins. Which essentially gets them all the upside of running Heroku anyway, without the risks of actually going into the PaaS vertical, marketing to small customers, etc.

The same logic applies with porn production: Amazon would much rather not create "Twitch for porn", but rather allow someone else to use AWS to create a "Twitch for porn", and then have that service pay AWS exorbitant egress-bandwidth fees. All the same benefit of owning such a company themselves, with none of the hard work, and better yet, none of the tarnish.

But also, keep in mind: if 80% of the customers for an infrastructure service are using it for a use-case in the X vertical, then that service is effectively a service-provider in the X vertical, whether it wants to be or not. Even if AWS isn't explicitly running a "Twitch for porn", if 80% of e.g. Kinesis Streams infra is being allocated to transcoding porn, then you'd better believe that the devs for Kinesis Streams, and the ops staff that run it, both know what their service is usually used for — and likely have spent time tuning their service to cope with the particular needs of that workload. To do otherwise would be irresponsible!

Really interesting write-up. I've had to consider some of the issues in the past for non-game applications, and what I usually resorted to was the second option, and semi-automated updates.

I don't think the first option is that much of a hurdle for Linux users. I guess there might be package conflicts that aren't trivial to resolve sometimes, but I'm not sure how often those pop up in the game dev scene, though.

I wonder if it would be viable for games to come with an AppImage (or one of the other two), and something like `game_assets.dat` for the game files (so the AppImage doesn't grow too large).

Also, slightly unrelated, but I think it would be make sense for ich.io to have a steam-like client for automating the game's life cycle on player machines. It would make it convenient for both devs and players. Maybe it could it could come with a set of tools for developers too to help automate some of the packaging/publishing woes.

Especially when “·” renders as as “ ” instead, and pressing the End key turns into a lottery.
