You can't : if I were in their shoes I simply wouldn't believe you, and would leave as quickly as possible.

You could try giving them 'unbreakable' contracts (pay X with X big if you end up firing them) but even then, they know that if it's only about money, they will eventually be fired.

Basically, it looks like you now have one giant trust issue.

If I were a bit cynical, I'd say it's a great way for US management to get rid of the entire Australian team without having to deal with the complexities of firing everyone at once (which might be difficult or expensive in some countries, I don't know about Australia ).

If anything the pandemic made clear that science absolutely requires peer review, otherwise opinions get elevated to facts and at the end the reputation of science itself is in shambles.

‘It is ridiculous to think covid-19 could have originated in a lab’

‘Covid-19 spreads through touching surfaces’

‘Hydroxychloroquine cures covid-19’

‘Hydroxychloroquine does not cure covid-19’

‘Any opinions that go against this popular scientific stance are dangerous and should be blocked’
I would love to see a similar list for junior engineers.

Driving north on US1 between Phila and NYC, there are several turns where you turn/fork right before an intersection, and then make a left onto the minor road. Particularly true in the 20 miles on either side of Princeton.

Yes, I've seen the right-turn after the intersection too.
The worst are always video game discussions. A studio releases a product they worked on for 5 years, with thousands of features and moving parts, and the comments are usually full of suggestions like: It's great, but I don't understand why they simply won't do X instead of Y, then it would be perfect!
Strange how no one bats an eye when any other advocacy group defines in their own way their goals or values, but when it’s the ACLU that does it, people lose their minds.

No one cares that the NRA only gives a crap about half of 2A. No one cares that the federalist Society has a very specific view of the judiciary… but when the ACLU defines a cause in their own way, people go nuts with accusations of hypocrisy because it doesn’t line up with their own personal definition of “civil liberties”.
Huh.

I did reread that part and I was clearly wrong. You are absolutely correct, it refers to a wider category.

Now I kinda want to take person up the comment chain on their bet.
I'd expect FIRE to have learned of them because the affected individuals sought legal support from a variety of institutions and organizations.
No, I didn't miss your point. The link I posted has computer manufacturers that say they can use US based components, including in-house engineered parts. I also showed that components are made in the US and that the DOD contracts will require that Chinese parts not be used.
Because we are trending toward too many people and not enough protein. Not a ton of mystery there.
That's a good joke, cynicism aside.

What I think is significant here is that a massive industry has a clear use case for it, and it's an industry that is fighting for its life with respect to SSDs.

A 10x capacity jump might justify an initial investment as well, especially if the durability is a huge improvement. Economics of cloud datacenters may bridge the divide.

Also, I'd posit that that graphene doesn't need to be a perfect uniform surface for the HDD platter. If they can just get usable sections (ahem, sectors?) then it becomes workable and usable.
Wouldn't want to be rude.
It is relevant because you had an organization with a clear creed and track record to protect the liberal principles even when its inconvenient, that is now subverted into political activism for progressive causes in the same way that similar activism subverted basecamp and coinbase.
> only one of Einstein’s 300 or so published papers was ever peer-reviewed, which so disgusted him that he never submitted a paper to that journal again

I never thought of this, and it is one of those shifts in habits and uses that go unremarked (until, of course, someone points them out like this piece did).

Perhaps due to the industrialization of research after the middle of the XX century?

Now that we don't really need to publish in journals, since anything can be made available on the internet, the filter of credibility can also be changed - for instance to something like being cited approvingly by other reputable researchers.
The collective right never made any sense in the first place, not a single other amendment in the bill of rights is viewed as a "collective right" so why in the hell would this lone amendment be a "collective right"

Further what the hell does a "collective right" even look like in the first place....

the ACLU hates guns, does not believe anyone outside the government should have guns, the "collective right" was just their cover so they did not have to admit they only stood for some of the constitution not all of it

//EDIT: Mods have rate limited me, so in response to comment below allow me to add

I guess I should have implicitly stated Constitutional Rights, and more specifically Bill of Rights in the context.

On top of that, that is still not a "collective right", that is more of a Balance of rights, You have a right to your property, I have a right to my property, if your actions (aka polluting ) damage my property then you have directly harmed my individual rights and are thus liable

An example of this would be the fact that I have the right to swing my arms, but if I swing my arms in a manner that hits another person I have violated their bodily rights not to be injured by me. No one would claim that is a "collective right", no here we are balancing individual rights, their right to not be injured trumps my right to swing my arms in the physical space they occupy at that moment
The ACLU going “corrupt” is arguably much better business for them since they can more effectively harvest donations from politically engaged partisans on the left - their fundraising has been supercharged since 2016. Right-wing partisans weren’t giving to them much anyway so more closely aligning with a side is all upside from a financial perspective.

So much for free speech then. Clearly some kinds are good and some are "divisive political activism" that don't deserve any kind of protection.
i.e. The Critique of Pure Reason. (Kant wrote 3 Critiques) It's known as one of the most difficult-to-read philosophy books in history, though, so don't expect to pick it up and understand what he's saying. I did an entire university course on the book—I mostly studied philosophy at university—which was gruelling, and sometime later when a girlfriend saw the fat book on my shelf and asked what it's about, looked horrified when I couldn't tell her. Never heard anyone say he was 100% right, though. Particularly his own successors (Neo-Kantians) who, I believe, thought important parts of his system should be dropped—mainly, Kant's reality/the noumenon/thing-in-itself that we can never know or say anything about.

(The most helpful link I can think of is James Franklin's article on Stove's Gem, the "Worst Argument in the World"—Very lucid writing, and not a bad introduction to talk of things-in-themselves. https://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~jim/worst.html )
That's because it's a lot easier to be principled in the abstract, than when it blows up in your face.

Pre-Brexit, there were a lot of people that really wanted sovereignty.

Post-Brexit, it turns out that sovereignty didn't make a lot of those people happy, because it got in the way of their employment or business, and it turns out you can't eat sovereignty.

Same thing happened here. It's a lot easier to defend a despicable person's right to hold a protest when they're powerless. But when people start dying that gets a lot harder to justify.

Globally. Is your concern about running latency insensitive code concurrently with running latency sensitive code?

For that, I'd probably just do multiprocessing and have one realtime process that only operates on preallocated or stack allocated buffers with the GC disabled, and then another separate process that does your latency insensitive stuff.

I'm sure other languages are able to handle this sort of thing more elegantly in one process with tasks, but it can be made to work in julia, and there are lots of situations like robotics where you may want to leverage Julia's excellent ecosystem in a realtime system, so I just disagree with your earlier statement about julia being incompatible with the application domain, even if it's not a perfect language for it.

Liberalism and Identity Politics never really sorted out their relationship, and it turns out the latter won Twitter (and created excellent foot-holds for bad-actors doing information "warfare" now everyone has social media welded directly to their brains.)

Edit: A reply would be nice if down voting. The examples the first subject in the article uses are implicitly comparing liberty of speech to protected/disenfranchised classes or characteristics of people, and how ACLU seems to have changed disposition here. That's my point. My use of Identity Politics is not baiting -- it's a well studied topic in the social sciences.

Not a strong reason. I would be shocked if the average Internet user has heard of any of the top ten most visited websites in China. Their entire infrastructure, from the technological layer to the bureaucratic layer, has ensured that the average Chinese Internet user knows very little about the outside world that hasn’t been pre-vetted or filtered out completely by the GFW.

"Plans Are Worthless, But Planning Is Everything"

So i see the usefulness of design docs to be threefold:

1) Writing it all down in one place. You've got tons of whiteboard meetings, random discussions by the water cooler, random slack threads, ideas you think up in the middle of the night, different asks and different reqs coming in from different teams. It's useful to formally write it all down. And then once you see it all in one place, you can more easily see which parts of conversations you forgot, which decisions that you thought you all agreed on in the meeting but people actually thought you agreed on a different outcome. You can see if there are any contradictory points -- does one decision you agreed on in one discussion actually make it impossible to follow the decision you agreed on in another discussion. You've now got the big picture and see things now you're all zoomed out, that you couldn't see when each discussion was just drilled down into a single component or aspect.

2) Coordinate for review. So now it's all written down, and everyone can go through and see if there's anything that they missed. Are there actually any blockers in here? You can now send it out to all the concerned parties and they can make sure that you didn't miss anything, that all concerns and asks are being properly covered. Are all the original requirement actually being handled by this design? How long is this actually going to take now for all the involved teams and people to do. Much easier to do when you've got a complete list of everything you need to do.

3) Documents your original intent. So now you're off and implementing it all, and of course you end up building something completely different from the design doc. But it's still important to go back to it and be able to see, what were all of these original concerns and blockers and worries that we had? The design doc says we made this decision because of this showstopper, we ended up doing it a different way, but did we properly account for that in our final implementation. Why did we even want to design it this way in the first place, does that constraint still hold today, and will our end result fail because we ignored it.
It couldn't deal with HN traffic I guess. Here's a cache link:

We're entering an era where the content providers and the major clouds are >50% of demand on new subsea capacity. Feels like this blurs 'Tier 1' and the role of backbones because major eyeball networks now interconnect directly with e.g. Facebook or Google.

Anyway, on abuse@ response rates, my probably unpopular but realistic take based on looking at tens of thousands of such complaints over the years and having worked for ASNs which have received millions, I'd hazard everyone has an SNR and ROI problem with handling these. There's just too many of them and most aren't actionable.

Some examples, "I saw a failed SSH login attempt from 1.2.3.4 and OMG that's a huge issue, you have been compromised, and you must solve this immediately!". OK, well, the subscriber might have: a) Typoed your IP address, b) Been running nmap/zmap over a wide range of IPs for research purposes; c) You're on an IP with a provider who recycled it to you, subscriber has outdated DNS records.

What do you expect a 'Tier 1' to do with your report?

Many ASNs are now just looking at the pattern of reports per IP address or subscriber, are automating scanning for e.g. open mail relays when whatever processes abuse@ determines the person is complaining about spam, or automating looking for anomalies in flows for DDoS complaints, a human may not even see the ticket unless the automation was able to confirm a problem may exist, and the human will probably only engage the subscriber and won't respond to the 1-1000 things received to abuse@ related to the issue.

In Major's case with icanhazip.com it looks like pretty bad behavior from the Chinese ASNs mentioned, but could just be IOT configured to fetch its IP every minute instead of every 60 minutes of 24 hours because someone misunderstood cron. Unfortunate that nobody responded but 30B a day is ~350kRPS (which isn't a lot, in the grand scheme of the internet). I'm sure 30B requests per day is nothing at Cloudflare's scale and they have options to cure these ASNs behavior should they choose, including stuff like IP-based or ASN-based ratelimiting, or even IP/ASN restrictions.

I'm sure Cloudflare will learn some interesting things about both the accidental contributors (e.g. cron) and intentional contributors (e.g. botnets) from analyzing the sources generating the requests, and I'm ultimately glad it is them picking this up, their other initiatives like 1.1.1.1 have had been positive for the internet (IMHO).
Even the most fundamental types in smalltalk derivatives are circularly defined (using Ruby as an example: Object is an instance of Class, and Class inherits from Object). Circularity doesn't make this any less useful as a model, just more difficult to reason about. It's a tradeoff.

> But when people start dying that gets a lot harder to justify.

Only for those who were unprincipled in the first place. Those who approach civil liberties from a point of subjective right vs wrong are doomed to failure - the moment a case comes up that clashes with their own viewpoints, they will abandon the liberties they claimed to defend. On the other hand, those who approach civil liberties as a matter of principle face no such dilemma.

The Homevoter Hypothesis
Me too. Time to get that coffee.
I wonder how close NetBSD’s design is to 4.4BSD, the last version of BSD from UC Berkeley’s CSRG? My understanding is that FreeBSD has a lot of features that are exclusive to it, such as jails and Capsicum, and FreeBSD also has some Solaris-derived components such as ZFS and Dtrace. I’m under the impression that NetBSD’s specialty is in providing a BSD that is easily portable to a wide range of architectures. Because BSD is not just a kernel, but an entire operating system, NetBSD’s portability makes it attractive when choosing a Unix for “exotic“ hardware.
Almost gave up trying when I finally realized I had to click that tiny green plus button, which only appears on hover. Looking promising, with lots of room for usability improvements.
And it's fraught with problems if the Dolphin team were to use any of the information from those Nintendo links that they can't prove they determined/discovered/developed independently.

The other post of similar essence is this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27060816

I’ve begun keeping a log of such power phrases. Does anyone know if there’s an open public repository for such phrases? That’d be useful. If not, I’m happy to set up a Google Doc or Github Repo or whatever is best (if there’s significant interest).
One of the worst hydroxychloroquine studies - the now-retracted one in the Lancet claiming that patients receiving the drug were dying at a higher rate, which appears to have used completely fake data and where there was no possible way they could've got the data they purported to have used - was in fact peer reviewed. Peer review really doesn't do as much as people seem to think it does.

> Further what the hell does a "collective right" even look like in the first place....

I'll give a non-gun example - you buy a piece of property near the headway of an important river. You have an individual right to improve the property, and really use it any way you want. HOWEVER - the people who live downstream of you ALSO have a collective right to use the river, which puts a limit on your individual rights. You can't dump pollutants or trash in the river, nor can you divert the waterway. You have an individual right to use your own property, but your neighbors (depending on the issue, this may be local or global) have a collective right not to suffer damage or externalities from that use.

In the context of the gun discussion, the collective rights people believe that gun ownership is intended to defend the neighborhood, not for individual self-defense.
