So, question: Is any kind of disapproval of Israel's policies on palestinians now by definition antisemitic or is there a way to voice legitimate criticism?

I agree, the "If I were a jew" sentence is an extremely tasteless and and insensitive way to put it, but from the rest of the quotes, his intent to criticize Israel's policies, not call into question the right to exist seems pretty clear.

If someone criticized the Chinese government, you wouldn't automatically accuse them of anti-asian racism either, would you?
Sounds like there's something going wrong with your installation or profile. You might try resetting it.

But I also realized I would never notice any of what you're talking about, because I pretty much exclusively use alt-left arrow for back and alt-right arrow for forward. You might try that for a while to see if it sticks in your muscle memory.

(Though it's likely that other things are mangled in your setup if something like the back button is misbehaving.)
Who in their right mind would use Norton and their crappy antivirus? Windows Defender is stellar and it's free.
Fat32 supports rename in the same directory as a simple operation. Moving a file though, I don't think so (and nobody corrected me, so I might be right).
Ransomware: Maybe something good will come of it
Today I picked up a prescription from a pharamacy I had never used before. Their web site said they do deliveries, so I asked about that, but the clerk said they no longer do them. But they could mail a prescription to me, would I like that next time? I said sure, they asked for my address, and then wanted my credit card and driver's license. When I hesitated, she said "Oh, I see you don't have copays, so we don't need the credit card."

Me: Uh, why do you need my driver's license to mail a prescription?
Clerk: (goes and asks someone, then) it's part of the signup form on the computer
Me: nevermind, I'll pick it up again. I'm not giving you my driver's license to mail a prescription.

Now that all these companies are getting hacked and data exposed, maybe that will make them reconsider and just stop collecting information they don't need!
> [3] Telegram calls have encryption, but every time you have to verify the emojis again and again instead of it just storing the other party's key.

I was under impression that this feature was a "gamification" of encryption for completely non-technical people who otherwise wouldn't even think about it, to be honest.
The original cancel-culture was (and continues to be) against anyone who asserts that Palestinians are human.
Which charitable person would conclude that was a typo? I have a feeling people like you would say the same thing if he wrote “I hate Jews” in capital letters.
No, this isn't true, though it's a common misunderstanding. Most school districts receive funding from the state.

Generally, the underperforming schools spend more per student. For example, Stuyvesant, the premier math/science high school in New York, is among other lowest of public high schools in spending per student.

Underperforming schools typically have higher costs, like ESL and special needs courses, free lunch, police presence, though.
>> But with container orchestrators

The other commenter said it best: "But at the end of the day, Erlang is one technology that is good enough for most and does not require large operational experience to run. Your entire stack is in your own code, understandable by your entire team."

So the difference is doing your scaling and distribution natively in code, versus hiring and maintaining devops expertise to manage your containers. On top of that you now have one more "node" in your team (whether a single devops engineer or a group of them) that needs to collaborate with everyone.
Cancel culture does that to people.
Good point. But a serious company in which everyone is a nice person could still have D&I specialists like a training expert in charge of improving the masses or a statistician/manager in charge of monitoring and reports.
Does it have to be double? I know it's not a direct analogue, but parity schemes like RAID 6 or ECC RAM don't double the cost.

So the question is, how do you check these results without actually doing them twice? Is there a role here for frameworks or OS to impose sanity checks? Obviously we already have assertions, but something gentler than a panic, where it says "this is suspect, let's go back and confirm."
They do.

The UK PAYE (Pay as You Earn) system has a 1% tax gap[1] compared to 12.9% on income tax and 7% on corporation tax.

It's extraordinarily more efficient to tax at source.

[1]The percentage tax gap is the tax gap pound value as a proportion of theoretical liability, where theoretical liability is defined as the tax gap plus the amount of tax actually received.

Sarah Silverman's blackface sketch that lost her movie roles in 2019 was from 2007.

James Gunn's old tweets were from 2011.

My response was around "cancel culture" being a new phenomenon, as posed by the parent comment. I am not suggesting that this is a good or bad behavior, just that it has existed for a long time and nothing is new about it.

So, yes, in the context of my post the Galileo example is a good example IMO.

It's not about the literal beliefs of religions. It's about having a 'tribe' or in-group. That was helpful to our survival as a species, and that instinct has not gone away. If it's not religion, it's political ideology, national identity, ethnicity, or allegiance to a football team. We love defining the world in terms of 'us' and 'others.' The trick is in finding a way to live (and dare I say work) in proximity with 'others.'

This is definitely what we need. However, about ACL security, can't capability based access be emulated by having many virtual users each with the access to capabilities needed for a particular program? Why can't we use this now to do capability based security?
Against the desire, no. I was speaking to that. Compliance - sure!
Religion made sense back in the day. Life was hard and short, and we didn't know what would happen afterwards. Today, people work their butts off because they know (hope) they'll be able to enjoy life in retirement - back then, people endured life hoping that they'd enjoy afterlife.

For example, in CPython multiple threads can append to a list without a lock or insert items into a dict without a lock, and the data structure will never become corrupted. If you do the same thing in Java with an ArrayList, there's a chance that some items are lost.

Though it is worth pointing out that Java has a well-defined memory model, and Python doesn't. So the above is true for CPython, but it might not work in other implementations, or, for example, you might have a library providing data structures, and it might not hold for those, either.

Ashkenazi is just an old hebrew word for German. If you strip away both Germany (the HRE, more specifically), and Judaism then the term doesn't have much meaning. At least, not as an identity that people have assumed historically.

Ashkenazi Jews before the war just called themselves Jews, with secular emancipationists often appending nationality.
I am talking about counties in the U.S. There are a handful of extremist district attorneys that follow the view that non-violent crime should not result in prosecution or prison. To my knowledege, there are no countries anywhere that have adopted this view, and only a few local district attorneys are advocating for it. There are differences in the severity of non-violent crime needed to get prison sentences, but that was always the case.
Airbus used the new tech for their next generations of plane I believe. I guess the fly-by-wire has been used for the A320 soon after. ABS brakes, a more resistant steel alloy, there is this list in French for some of the innovation made for the Concorde and used elsewhere afterward.

Among other blatantly offensive things, he directly said "If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself." Certainly sounds to me like he's attributing these actions to me and all other Jewish people.

Stop blaming "the media". If the head of diversity of one of the largest corporations in the world doesn't understand the difference between a Jewish person and an Israeli, they are not qualified for their position.

I'm not Jewish first of all, but to categorize the character of an entire group of people based on their birth/religion is the definition of bigotry.
It's not that it didn't make sense, it's that it was boring! Of what use is it? Sure, you have composition of linear transformations, but of what use is it again? If there's no use, it's boring. Pure math is like a puzzle, some people really love to solve the puzzle. The joy is in the solving the puzzle, and then for some people the joy only manifests if it's applied. Point of the original post being that math is harder for students to accept in its pure form if not applied.
The overwhelmingly negative attitude towards technology on HN lately is upsetting and nauseating. If you don’t like NFTs, don’t buy them (I don’t). If you don’t like some startups product, don’t sign up. In the Boom thread there are people suggesting it’s fraudulent that they’ve taken longer than originally suggested to build supersonic aircraft. I’d very much like to know who elected the naysayers.

There are tons and tons and tons of bad ideas all the time. The vast majority of businesses fail and ideas fall by the wayside. This forum used to be a place to celebrate risky business ideas and long shots.

I couldn’t care less about the $ amount of NFTs sold today versus last month at the peak - in the end something that didn’t exist now does and clearly it is being used by some people - so congratulations to them and let’s find something we -are- excited about instead of every thread being “what a scam” for every attempt at a new use of technology. If a handful of video game developers use this for game-collectible interchange, awesome! Sounds useful. I don’t care about the vicious judgements of others any more than I want to read about why Facebook was a stupid idea in 2006.
Another nightmare for data collection... Congrats for getting Zucked again...
Thanks! With Hubble, we realised that while some companies wanted a separate tool to monitor data quality (e.g. data governance teams in financial integrations) most modern data teams want to test inside their existing code base (e.g. dbt). Also the majority of the company tends to interact with the data through their BI tool and we think that's where adding data quality makes most sense.

For example: flagging a dashboard as out of date, or showing that a report depends on data with failing tests.

There's rich metadata in the transform layer that just isn't getting pulled through to existing reporting/BI/viz tools.

We still have a lot of love for Hubble and data quality monitoring. By connecting dbt and Lightdash, we finally get some of those data monitoring features we always wanted.

Thanks for sharing Rakam, they always stood out for their choice of using dbt as their transform layer, it's really cool.
> Damore was asked for his feedback on Google's diversity policies, and that's exactly what he provided.

> Most of Damore's critics haven't actually read his memo[1], but rather formed an opinion based on the character assassination campaign against him, a campaign his employer publicly sided with.

I completely agree, but in a corporate setting one can be truthful, accurate, have good intent, and yet still be tone deaf and insensitive. The bar for insensitive is very low in this context.

I think with a fair and honest reading of his letter & the context that it came up in, its clear that he was trying to contribute in a positive way to the discussion & effort.

This is why the inconsistency between these two cases is so remarkable. Antisemitism, even if from years ago, and not related to company business, is pretty damning (esp for someone leading D&I efforts).
Meanwhile, an attempt, albeit executed in a politically naive way, to positively contribute to a discussion led to a firing & character assassination.

Maybe from Android 12 this is improved in some way.
You can't be openly racist in your private life, and have it not be a problem in your professional life managing and hiring people at a job. The idea that you think it shouldn't is weird. If I think that social netowrks are garbage that should be regulated out of existence and their operators jailed (in my private life, on my blog), should it affect my job at Facebook?

What if I believe in my public private life that Russia should rise up and destroy the west for its decadence and weakness - should it affect my job in the CIA?
"If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself." Excuse me? If this is not clearly antisemitic, I wonder what is.

Shakespeare isn't about life lessons, it's more about analysis and understanding the nuance of the language. The difference between that an occupational training / brain dumps is that it has more long-term value. There's a reason education isn't just taking a bunch of occupational certifications.

As an anecdote, I've always been in tech roles; I dual-majored in History and Computer Science for reasons. Looking back at various roles I've had in my life's journey, the skill framework I learned studying and writing about Napoleonic warfare or the Silk Road, were just as essential as the framework in math and engineering on the CS part of my education, maybe more so.

He typod Israeli as Jew? Geez, quite the common mistake these days.
Does that apply to their own advertising ingestion or just third parties? Better question, does it apply to theirs as well but do they have workarounds for themselves?
Most Python 3 breakage was search-replace fixable (though I'd question the value of language changes falling in this category), although it is true that the text/bytes separation exposed unsound data models in some applications, which is of course nasty to deal with.
They weren’t prescient, but they were functionally equivalent: they were spying on users (e.g. through Onavo) and knew stats about Instagram, snap and WhatsApp very early on, that let them respond well early (and price an offer, or build a competitor).

I think Zuck, having taken the market from Orkut, Friendster and MySpace, decided he will not let anyone take it from him, no matter what.

E.g. Skype was still on every phone in 2014; it’s not about install base - it’s about potential to become a social network, which WhatsApp had, and Skype didn’t.
Sorry, I'm not sure what part of that wasn't clear. Facebook ships useful libraries to app developers as binaries and they use that to get code on everyone's phone in order to add to their data collection apparatus.

I'm pretty sure they're not the only ones who do that either. It's a pretty effective method to get around app sandboxes.

Interesting to read that post, which is clearly pro-gay, and contrast with gay marriage referendums in the 2012 election which barely passed with around 47% of voters opposed (and of course Prop 8 had won in california just a few years earlier).

If that post were criteria for firing around half or more of the American population could also be fired if they had made the mistake of recording their opinions online or in written form before 10 years ago.

Unlikely. Economics doesn't even understand how the monetary system works, let alone taxation.

Taxation works more like memory garbage collection than anything else. It's a cleaning up process.

How are his comments antisemitic?
It's obviously intended to be anti-semitic, but I don't understand what it means, either. They're all English words, but I can't parse them in that order.
I'm personally always for discourse, whether I'm dealing with a principled institution or not. I'm the type that will usually side against the issuer of an ultimatum. Although, I loathe hypocrisy, so will usually side with a principled institution over the alternative. I guess it really depends on the situation. The devil is in the details or some such something or other.

The best part of being a centrist is that everyone else naturally hates me, so it's easy to pick one side or the other in each individual situation, with no loyalties.

"mild criticism" mixed in with generalizing Jewish people, regardless of country, in the last paragraph?

Amazon/Ring is certainly eliding over the subpoena path to getting information. However, that path does require a warrant, and a judge's sign-off. The "just ask" approach doesn't, so I think both have their place. Given the paucity of information about the latter, I don't think we can say which will "represent the bulk of data transfer from individuals to the police." There are certainly a lot of subpoenas issued each year, but there are also a lot of times a police officer stops at a business or home that has a security system with cameras, asks for copies of the footage, and gets it easily.
