This is sadly a lot more common than people realize. It's drilled in your head that as an employee you should never ever renege on a job offer or accept a better one too soon because you are "burning bridges" and that is very bad, but it never works the same the other way around.

Budgets change all the time. Departments go through reorgs. Projects get cancelled. "Hey but we have an open job offer" is never going to be a concern for management when making these decisions, nor should it for you.
Given his public posting, I suspect he is not too worried about future opportunities at Tesla.
I think this is correct. My understanding of the two-language problem was probably not the same as the one they claimed to solve. More likely they meant: write slow code in python and then optimize inner loops with c.

Anyways, I'm glad I did invest in learning Julia. Just disappointed it didn't save me from C++. On to Rust!
>But I really do wonder if "the winning side" was _actually_ the winning side.

It is well beyond winning and losing sides in such wars. There is a foreign invader and the local population fighting against the invader tooth and nail with the invader losing it despite better/bigger weapons, economy, army. In many such wars one could make an argument that giving in to the foreign invader may have been a better option, at least in the long run, yet the deep guttural tribal drive to defend the Motherland takes over any of the rationality. I mean for example the Russian peasants, being by all the parameters slaves of Russian nobility, were fighting French in 1812 only to return to the same slavery like position after the war.
There was an article I read some time ago about a guy who writes term papers and such assignments for sale - he said his most frequent customers are "business ethics" course students. Makes you think.
No, the architect works for the building owner (or tenant). The bidder is typically a general contractor.
China, which intervened in the Korean War at the moment of North Korea's complete military collapse, has not been held to account for the horrific North Korean regime it saved and still protects. China doesn't want a unified Korea and the North Korean people pay the price.
> Claiming that Tesla is an irresponsible company is pretty strong in the absence of evidence.

There is evidence though. Look at the beginning of this Tesla marketing video (in particular the "person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons" quote):

The problem isn't crime, but moral credibility.

The justice system is not for moral credibility, it is there for moral determination. Even the accusation of sexual abuse is extremely chilling for those who work with children — because it strikes at credibility, at whether people feel you are safe around kids. Would you feel that a pediatrician or teacher accused of sexual misconduct is safe around your children? Or rather, are you surprised that many people would say f-ing no?

Note that being accused is not a crime, and it's an even lesser standard than some old Tweet, because at least that's a written record. But mere accusation can destroy credibility, especially when it has to do with sex.

Now if you were a black man and your boss attended a white power rally, are you seriously going to say there isn't a F'ing Interesting Story of Moral Credibility going on here? If that employee ever sues for workplace discrimination, do people think that a history of white power rallies shouldn't come up?
>> If you are now going to claim that when you said apps were signed by the developer, you didn't mean the apps sent to the device, that quoted response makes no sense in that context.

It makes perfect sense. The apps are signed by the developer and uploaded to Apple. Apple signs them for delivery to the device. Importantly. Both paths are protected.

Nothing I said before or after contradicts that.

> I interpreted your response as charitably as possible.

No. You misrepresented my response.

> Seems like this is total bullshit. Do you have any evidence that China can modify the packages?

> 1. The package sent to the device is not signed by the developer but by Apple or China.

This is a false statement. There is literally no evidence anywhere to support the idea that China is signing iOS packages delivered to devices.

https://www.quora.com/Is-iMessage-encrypted-in-China 2. China's firewall sits between users and servers outside of China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall

3. The Great Firewall routes the app store download request to a proxy that injects malware and resigns the package with their own key, which is trusted by the device.

None of the links you have supplied substantiate the claim that iOS devices trust a key from the great firewall. If you have a link that does, I would be interested to see one, otherwise I think we can safely call this a lie. You know there is no evidence for it, but you are claiming it anyway.

> Interesting that you seem unworried that Apple's own privileged MITM position allows it to insert malware, which governments can request.

I’m not unconcerned about that, but your claim is that China can sign iOS packages without Apple’s knowledge, which is a very different issue.

>> Your claim about aggregate Android malware numbers being lower than iOS was false:

> My claim was about malware from the Play Store and the Amazon App Store.

Yes and it is false.

> Please stop calling claims bullshit (you've done this five times now) just because you are unwilling to follow the logic and want me to spell it out. If you need help understanding an argument, just ask for it.

I will continue to call out lies and bullshit when it’s clear that is what is being presented. You have so far not substantiated the facts you have been challenged on, and your arguments rely on claims which you can’t support.

I know this might seem weird, but did you consider JavaScript? It takes backwards compatibility very seriously and with QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) you could embed it easily if you wish to do so. I do understand that it could be a big culture shock to ask people using CMake to suddenly learn JavaScript and use it, and it has its fair share of warts.
That's the disgusting thing about it.
You are confused two thing though.

First, it's a country and their people want to remain independent from the US. I don't see anything wrong with it. Their people, born in that country, fight that war, and they win.

Second, after the war, the winning party didn't do a great job to improve the country and condition. That's another discussion.

That address starts with 1337420 lol. I can't help but feel this is timed poorly though. Surely there must be some fatigue towards both gamestop and crypto.
Actually its one of the few use cases that makes sense

Gamestop's whole business was used games. I mean they'd sell you a new copy happily, and you could sell it back at discount and spend the money on a different used game

Playstation / Xbox digital stores killed the market, now I pay $60 for the new assassin's creed and can never sell it, there's no such thing as a used game anymore

If Gamestop has streaming rights for certain games, then NFTs can represent who ones a copy of a game. If you're bored of a game, sell the license to play to someone else. (This is not even mentioning in-game items that could be traded on secondary markets)

Of course GameStop could conceivably build a tech stack that lets them manage 'who owns what license to what game' and a whole marketplace around that, but why build it yourself when people are already out there sending NFTs from one wallet to another.
I would argue that it is a distribution problem. United states produces tons and tons of food and wastes even more. Just looking at Pumpkin blasting during Haloween makes my blood boil, but it is what it is.
Still does. Nobody wants to be beholden to what one guy's definition of "evil" would be this morning. That doesn't mean ethics does not exist. It's just not done through copyright licensing.

You're indulging in a huge fiction: that people freely choose what to read and what to believe. Your beliefs are a product of your environment, and your environment was traditionally mostly your family and broader community and country, but today your environment includes massive online oligopolies that have extreme power due to network effects.

If your country is consuming information through the filter of the American coastal elite, then they are likely to come to believe in the things that the American elite believes, to despise the things that the American elite despises. We can meaningfully speak of individuals having a choice to believe this or that, but as a society, that kind of domination of information will predictably drive people to believe what they are told to believe.
Japan builds buildings to last 30 years on average. They tear them down and build new ones. Is it good, bad, something else? I don’t know, except not everyone builds for things to last a long time.
Best: Original iTunes. Worst: Apple Music.
Its crazy how people are worried about offending trillion dollar companies.
Because not everything is an overnight success. Someone could make a song/comic that never gets popular.

Years later, someone takes it now it's free from copyright, uses it and achieves popularity. The original creator is still alive and has had nothing back.

Even further, if it has no copyright huge companies like spotify would not have to pay any royalties at all to sell or distribute music, pocketing everything themselves.

I'd rather the creator got the money.
Proof of life too. "He's not dead.... yet".
Isn't this promissory estoppel? Like they promised that you would start at a certain date, causing you to quit your current job. Then they withdrew the promise, causing you to be unemployed.
When I was working in France you legally had to give 3 months notice to quit. I think there are ways around this notice period in certain situations.
> Namely, it can be toxic to humans

Uhhhh the rest of the stuff in Concrete isn't great for human health, either, or as my cousin likes to say, "it sure ain't vitamins."

Quartz dust and silica sand are really bad for the lungs, likely carcinogens. Lime is caustic. Dust in general is bad to breathe.

These are well-known hazards in demolition and mitigation techniques already exist.
> but it never works the same the other way around.

I see your point, but then again maybe it does, if anyone reads about this episode and decides not to risk joining Tesla as a result. Especially if they do this too much and get a reputation for it.
Already works with Apple Pay and Google Pay automatically!
How do you tell when a project only works on a Mac? It has a pretty marketing website and never mentions it's operating system support.
I've read in France you need to give a notice period to your employer thought they can waive it. Not sure what is the consequence if they just walked out.

https://www.eurofound.europa.eu/observatories/emcc/erm/legis...

Also I know from someone that worked in India that the employer would hold back some money which would be forfeited if they left without giving a notice period. Not sure how common that is.
> But surely “let’s knock off at three today and go down the pub, thanks for all the hard work” is a positive for most people?

Definitely not.

1. I am not fond of drinking with workmates. An occasional, incidental, one-on-one or not much more: OK. In groups ("teams"): no thanks, this isn't school, we are not students, so no pseudo school party.

2. I abhor having drinks with people who have any kind of hierarchical power upon me.
Not good advice.

What is good to excellent advice: Have a SIGNED offer letter in hand that you have also accepted before giving notice. That is a MUST (does not matter how good interview etc went).

This is so tone deaf by Tesla though - it's what folks like to chat about so I don't get it. We've made things right in a few cases where for example a part time job ended up more part time than expected. Just pay out at end to true things up etc.
Hmmm... I stand corrected. Although I lived in the Amazon region for a few years (1993 to 2002 in Rondônia), never formally studied any native language and mostly blindly believed the wikipedia article on Pirahã people[0] and probably mixed things from the Hopi language time controversy.

Thanks for such info.

Ironically, my English was mostly learnt from people from Europe who came there to conduct researches. This is amazing and sad at the same time. But the fact that some tribes can whistle names, words and entire phrases and use such skill to communicate while hunting in the jungle is something I was told from an native speaker, can't remember what tribe or language it was; probably Caripuna or Suruí.

I'm not in traditional engineering but I always felt like "specs" only tell part of the story. In your example they may use stainless steel but cut corners by using less of it than they really should or maybe just use really cheap stainless steel which leads to other problems.

I've noticed manufacturing companies like big auto will try to solve for this by creating more specs for parts provided by suppliers but that's a losing battle as its always a race to the bottom. Plus now you need large testing teams to verify parts meet all these different specs. Maybe some percentage of the parts do - what do you in that case? The whole process can be a mess.

Given how they've treated him I wouldn't be particularly worried either.
I mean anybody can sue anybody for anything, but to win damages you'd have to prove that either Tesla intended to mess up his previous job or that they were negligent (based on a legal duty of care). IANAL, but this seems unlikely.
I understand that Fuchsia is currently targeted at IoT or consumer devices, but can it run "containerized apps" in server environments with its current design (compared to Linux namespaces)?

Maybe Kubernetes can be extended later to support Fuchsia nodes. It sounds really interesting to have a new target OS, with a different network and virtualization stacks.
Ireland rejects President Biden's global corporate tax plans
Yeah, been there, done that. I turned down my other offers and then the one I accepted cancelled on me the night before my first day of work. I ran out of money and had to take a loan from a friend.

I ended up working for them later anyway. No point holding a grudge.
I wanted to use Stripe last year but ended up opting for Square. One thing I really would like (and a feature that would make me switch) is a more generalized way to set pricing structure and other options.
At-will employment doesn’t really factor in here.

The central issue is that Tesla gave him a job offer and based on that offer he resigned from his prior job. Tesla then reneged on their offer weeks later. The damages are the lost wages due to them not following through with the job offer after they caused him to resign.
Is it possible for any introduced extremophiles to actually survive and reproduce without a biosphere to sustain them? My understanding is that all life on earth depends on some other life’s metabolic processes for something, be it food, amino acids, or something else. Can a single species that evolved in such a complex ecosystem possibly sustain itself alone on a planet so unlike it’s origin?
Yet the largest city frequently floods with a foot of water during monsoon season.

There is growing wealth disparity with the people at the top enjoying modern luxuries, yes.
> Why do we do it? Why do we judge the perceived fairness of transactions that we are not party to?

How could we not? Someone dropping millions of dollars on a useless token really puts into perspective the value of my actual work and contributions to society. If literally nothing is worth millions, I must be worth less than nothing because I'm certainly not getting paid millions.
Yes, I think I have a months notice... By law.

I'm not sure what the consequences would be if I didn't show up though... maybe my employer could sue me to get back the salary they had to pay me, while I didn't work as the contact stated I would.
In the UK you must give 1 week's notice, but it is common for employment contracts to extend this to 1-3 months.

As you look at those photos and read the captions, keep in mind that the people who migrated from North Vietnam to South Vietnam outnumbered those in the opposite direction by at least a factor of two while that war lasted.

Also keep in mind that, after North Vietnam successfully INVADED South Vietnam, one to two million million people crossed open ocean, through shark-infested waters, in hand-made boats in order to get away from the regime which those photos extol.

The pictures on that website are communist propaganda and should be taken as seriously as those made under the Soviet Union or East Germany.
Imagine just being someone who is an introvert and feels exhausted after hanging out with people 8 hours a day in an office, who really can't put up with being around other people for 12+ hours a day...

I'm much better with a long lunch + socialize and then piss off early from work as a reward.
Like zinc anodes on a boat?
This kinda goes against what OP is against though, no? If you have multiple offer letters, chances are multiple other companies have stopped their job search (especially if they don't want to lead on other candidates).
Oh man. YouTube ads are getting ridiculous
Except (if the allegations in the tweet are true) the issue has been brought to YouTube’s attention. It’s hard to plead innocent inadvertent ignorance if you were specifically put on notice.
There is some letter SWEs need from their manager there - I can’t remember what they call it
What you've pointed out might all be valid. But they seem to be issues with maturity. When Python was at a similar age, did it have all these issues worked out?

Not sure if you can generalize it to "Julia community isn't interested".

If we have more ppl liking Julia and using it for general purpose computing (which it is capable of), then more of these tools will become mature overtime.

Also, Julia is not in the same niche as Rust though, it's more like a Python, so not sure if the comparison is apt.
It's sad, but I think the bridge was burned when Tesla rescinded the offer. Tesla could have just as well had Charlie start on a different team, but that's not what happened.
The strongest fact that you listed was the one that wasn't evident at the time this theory was first popularized. We are talking about what was known in early 2020. The opinion of the scientific community today has changed as our understanding of the facts change. "Well the outbreak happened in the same city as the lab" is not strong evidence and it is reasonable to dismiss a theory that uses that as one if its primary pieces of supporting evidence.

It is perfectly reasonable for the media to put more trust in the word of scientists in comparison to the words of the last President due to the literally thousands of times he has publicly lied for a variety of motives.

>I’m not saying any of these scientists were directly responsible. Was gain of function research irresponsible? Probably, yes. Should these scientists go to prison? Of course not, not without evidence of bad intent. But should we at least have been these discussions last year? Yes! That’s all I’m saying.

You certainly seemed to imply "bad intent" in your original comment when you said the following:

>Members of the scientific community with a potential culpability in a lab leak helped silence discourse by framing it as a political issue as opposed to a scientific one
What happens if you just walk out? Any kind of penalty?
Most people I know hate working anywhere, so that always seems like a bad metric to me on whether an employer is “good”…
Right, the only thing we're missing in the whole mess we're in is the highly political entity controlling the actions of all major internet service providers and content platforms, and threatening to bring them down if their demands aren't met. If we had that, it'd solve so much.
I'm assuming working for the military can count. Either enlisted, or under contract after they paid for school. In the latter you can leave but you owe them money.
> it never works the same

It does.

The opinion on an organization is the aggregate of the experiences of the people that works for it, that's why crayon is featured prominently in marine jokes.

It just takes a lot longer and a lot of experiences such as these for the opinion to shift, but once they do, the effect is the same.

Tesla and SpaceX have very poor reputation in terms of working for them, and that reputation have an impact on its ability to find people.

Granted, some people are not motivated by money or better treatment, and simply wanted to build something that goes to Mars, hats off to them. That doesn't mean Tesla lost nothing over poor (potential) work reputation.
There's a disturbing number of managers who's only metric for success seemed to be "well they're in the office on time".
Well, during and after the Korean War, South Korea was under a corrupt dictator who killed several hundred thousand civilians for being communist. Its economy didn't improve until 60s, and it couldn't be really called a democratic country until mid-90s.

So it's a bit of a stretch to claim that South Korea became today's South Korea because it survived the war in 1953. One could equally say that Vietnam's economic development in 2000s validates North Vietnam's victory.
I provided a link to research that backs up my point. Do you want to provide a link to research that backs up yours?
It's probably time to stop recommending OOP completely at this point if you want to fix those issues.
The owners can choose to remove the video from YouTube if they want. If the buyers are at least half-savvy, the sellers might opt to do that in order to give the NFT more 'worth'. But there's nothing inherent in NFT that means that's necessary, or that they couldn't just put it back on YouTube next week. Or that they couldn't sell hundreds of other NFTs for the same video, or sell the copyright to the video, the one thing in all this that's really meaningful.
