Yes that's the same event.

China is definitely trying to cover up something, though it could be small or more concerning, it is hard to judge.

The whole setup is quite complex overall, France (/French company) has been looking for partners for those reactors since a while, as they couldn't finance those on their own. So there are many actors involved, and even more chances for any worrying event to be hidden.

Still cheating but less scandalous in my opinion. If it came out that one team had an edge over another team it's one thing, but if both teams are cheating in the same way, it's harder to prove that either got "cheated out of" anything.
When I lived in California, I always thought it was bizarre that cars were allowed on the road without having to display at least a temporary license plate. In the other 49 states, new cars leave the lot with a temporary but full-sized cardboard or paper license plate to display in the back. This novel idea doesn't seem to have occured to the State of California, where new cars are effectively exempt from traffic laws for 6 months.

> A "gap year" as an adult can make you radioactive to potential employers.

Nope. Not true in tech at all.
Unfortunately, my experience has been that Ikea will push out a firmware update, and then I don't discover it until the outside lights fail to turn on or off at their appointed time and have to be rebooted. Yes, we live in an age when you can reboot a light bulb.

Very much to their credit, though, the Trådfri hub doesn't depend on a cloud service just to operate. If that ever happens, thus endeth my foray into smart lighting. I've put my foot down: if it needs Somebody Else's Computer to function, I don't want it.

Assuming I would even notice a six month gap, if someone told me they had taken a year off to work on an open source project, hike the Appalachian Trail, or whatever, I'd find it far more of a conversation starter than a negative. Maybe you're either imagining things or talking to the wrong employers.

counterfeit /= fake.

A fake chip is a chip that isn't physically what it claims to be. It will not work properly. A counterfeit chip is one that was not made under appropriate licenses. It might be exactly the same as the legit chips. It might even come from the same factory line that makes the legit chips and have been tested right alongside legit chips. The only difference between a counterfeit and legit chip can be a line in a contract on a computer thousands of miles away from the physical object with absolutely no physical imperfections. If you are using a computer, or any other complex machine, chances are that at least some tiny corner of it wasn't made in 100% accordance with IP laws.

If an article wants to talk about "fake" chips then talk about fake chips. Don't go on about counterfeit chips and violations of intellectual property laws. Show me the chips that are not doing the jobs they are supposed to do.
I dont know how you want to measure relevancy. The topic is likely relevant to those which are still using IRC actively. Since you seem to imply in your messages that you have moved on and left irrelevant technologies like IRC behind, I guess it is save to assume it isn't relevant to you as much. However, standing up and claiming "this drama" (with a derogatory tone) is irrelevant smells a bit of egotistical behaviour. Of course it looks irrelevant to you, and apparently the world has to agree with your view since you are a member of the majority.
By tools I don’t mean your OS or IDE. I mean those things so you don’t have to write code beyond a couple of figurations or text content.
I’ve also on boarded many people remote and in person. When you work for a fully remote company, on boarding is not difficult.

Speaking up on Zoom may have a higher barrier to entry than in an in person meeting (maybe) but asking questions on Slack is much lower.

The great thing about remote first, is that a lot of communication is written and can be referenced in the future, which is a great boon to juniors.

Here are some facts from the City of Vallejo, a city of 120,000 people located 30 miles north-east of San Francisco:

- Recently featured in ABC's 20/20 show for a "Gone Girl" case were the Vallejo Police Department accused a couple of faking a kidnapping. The woman was sexually assaulted during her kidnapping, and the VPD staged a news conference claiming the whole thing was made up. The city paid the couple millions for the VPD's mistakes.

- A police officer shot and killed a person riding his bicycle without a helmet, when the person did not stop. The city paid the person's family millions in settlement.
https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/5-7-million-settlement-r...

- Officers practice of celebrating kills with ceremony and badge-tip bending was recently uncovered.
https://openvallejo.org/2020/07/28/vallejo-police-bend-badge...

- Recently fired the Police Union president for destroying police evidence and threatening a journalist. The officer was hired by his father, who was the Police Chief a few years ago.

Generally true, but somewhat less true when one considers policies like stop/frisk.
It is a very popular thing to do in the UK before or after university. Around 20% of people at my university did the whole travel around Europe or Australia thing.

Edit - Sorry, see all the peer comments made the same point.
I know this is at least true for AOSP. I tried looking for/filing a bug with AOSP, and I wasn't even allowed to look for similar bugs unless I was signed in.

I get requiring to sign in to file a bug, but I was a lot less interested in even trying to when the entire thing was walled off.
Well at least it can be said that, had IBM not gotten out of the foundry business, they would be minting money right now. If then-CEO of IBM had successfully pivoted the company to all things Watson, which seemed to be the plan, it would still have seemed like a good idea. It does not seem to have been a good idea.
Big businesses would prefer it. They already have the huge HR departments to manage it, and it serves as price obfuscation so the worker cannot accurately compare alternative employers’ offerings.

It also works against small businesses that cannot afford to offer health insurance, because the small businesses’ employees cannot purchase health insurance with pre tax money, while the big businesses can compensate people with pretax health insurance that they subsidize.
Why, though? How does that benefit him in any way?

Unfortunately for libraries you will also have to have a system in place for all the library hosting providers (npm, rubygems …) to transfer ownership as well.
This is the real question. How many people are never actually considering leaving their job if another better opportunity comes along? The journalists asked a loaded question to exaggerate the idea that employees are ready to quit in droves because they don’t want to go back to the office or something. In reality many people are always looking for the next step in their career.

There was a similarly hyperbolic headline yesterday about a spike in resignations. Buried in the article it said that monthly employee turnover had moved from typical mid 1% to a higher mid 2% rate.

There might be a slight increase in turnover due to the hot job market and booming economy, but journalists like this one are working hard to make the situation sound like a dramatic change that’s going to change everything.
In terms of getting a lot of work done, not all that helpful. They are more useful for recruiting possible repeat contributors as well as generally helping maintainer morale (fast to review, though good first-timers-only style issues do take a lot of time to initially setup).

I'll choose instead to be amazed that Doom-capable computers are now inexpensive and ubiquitous enough that it makes total financial sense to use one in a light bulb!

More seriously, I see this argument all the time: that we are just squandering our advances in hardware by making comparably more inefficient software! Considering that efficiency used to be thought of on the level of minimizing drum rotations and such: the whole point is that we're now working at a much higher level of abstraction, and so we're able to build things that would not have been possible to build before. I for one am extremely grateful that I don't have to think about the speed of a drum rotating, or build web applications as spiders' nests of CGI scripts.

Are there modern websites and applications that are needlessly bloated, slow, and inefficient? Certainly - but even those would have been impossible to build a few decades ago, and I think we shouldn't lose sight of that.
Here is a good pdf where you can calculate it for your age:

https://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcra...

Basically, the metal levels are as follows: bronze, silver, gold, platinum are priced so that you the insurance company pays 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% of the healthcare costs.

Of course, this is an actuarial calculation, so it’s only true over a large population over a long timeline. But healthcare is a pretty certain need for everyone, so the cost for healthcare for everyone from age 0 to 65 (when government starts offering it called Medicare) is amortized into health insurance premiums for all of the 0 to 65 years.

The ACA law of 2010 requires a few things which cause the premiums to be adjusted such that younger people subsidize older people. The age rating factor table at the bottom of the linked pdf shows that the riskiest person (64 year old) must cost at most 3x what a 21 to 24 year old costs.

Also, healthy people subsidize unhealthy people because your health condition cannot be taken into account when determining premiums, and men subsidize women since gender cannot be taken into account (due to birthing).

As far as I know, smoking is the only activity that causes one’s premium to be higher.

Let’s take a silver HSA plan for example:

https://www.horizonblue.com/qhp/files/2021/2021_IHC_OMNIA_HS...

The out of pocket maximum for in network providers is $6,550. The premium is $350 per month. So $4,200 premium plus $6,550 out of pocket means a 21 to 24 year old pays at most $11k per year for healthcare if they get into trouble (most will only pay the $4.2k premiums since they are 21 to 24 and probably will not need healthcare).

A complication to these calculations is when employees pay, they can pay with pretax money, and HSA plans allow you to invest your HSA contributions tax free (max of a few thousand dollars per person per year).
The part I don't understand is why didn't it fix itself relatively quickly once they realised the demand for ICs was there? Is it just because the demand is far greater than they ever had so the backlog is growing more quickly than they can produce?

Others have talked about it mainly affecting high-end silicon rather than all components but I assume that most equipment now needs at least 1 high-end component as CPU or microcontroller?
The exchange rate is what makes it possible. Any $1000USD goes a long way in many places. If you save $24.000USD you can live like an itinerant mid-to-upper-middle-class for a full year in most or all of Latin America, for example.
Any software company that’s ending remote work right now is basically risking its entire existence. There’s no possible way, in this market, a company will be able to replace 10% of its workforce in a reasonable time. I can understand why management wants to go back to the office, but why would you ever take the risk of being one of the first, before gauging how the market will react.
When you demonize an entire profession due to the unjust actions of 0.1% of its members, don't be surprised when the only police officers left are those that revel in the Us vs. Them mentality.

I really don't think this is going to end well.
Not necessarily. A lot of people get processed through the system a lot so they're well known by most officers.
This is very neat. Looking forward to ICS files actually being useful again!
Anyone want to start a betting pool for when Google Workspace is killed?
My experience with tech hiring is getting three decent resumes for 5 open positions, everyone qualified gets an interview and serious consideration. It's not that way for junior people in entry level positions and non-IT staff (there the "200 resumes, no reason to interview most of them" scenario often applies), but if we're talking about e.g. mid-level developers, then every decent manager I know is in a "always be hiring" mode.
> I'm sure that the engineers at Apple could have easily found a better solution

I think they are pushing the limits of how much heat you can generate in such a thin laptop and not have it burn your lap. With the mod its already too hot to go on your lap so they probably ruled this out.

It would probably require a full re-design to add a heat-pipe over re-organized VRMs. Not something they want to invest in with M1 coming along so maybe intentional there.

I think it's also a misconception that big companies with huge amounts of cash can do anything if they want to. The fact that they have a logic board that has been reliable over so many years would create a massive incentive to only change small things at a time. Just look at the cluster fuck caused by just changing the keyboard.
> Yeah, and it went all the way up to 60k+ in about the same time.

No, not really. In fact, today it's still lingering around 32k.

Regardless, it seems you inadvertedly tried to make the case that indeed Bitcoin is highly volatile and does not work at all as a store of value.
> I am speaking from the perspective that all governments are corrupt, and as history shows, all governments can and one day will betray the trust of their citizens.

I think it's worth being carefully about not falling into absolutes. Yes, some governments, or rather some sub-parts of some governments, are corrupt. Yes, over centuries expect things to go south. But existence proof that some government somewhere sometime was corrupt does not mean all are, and doesn't mean you can never trust rule of the law.

> The government would end up burning all their zero days if they attempted surveillance [...]

The government will buy a $5 wrench, https://xkcd.com/538/. The only thing that keeps the government from doing that already is the rule of law.

Cryptography is a good protection from illegal actors, or from foreign powers etc; if you're fighting something that has immediate physical power over you, I believe the best bet is enforcing limits for the government in a democratic society.

Although I disagree. I'm not sure if porn has a model that drives engagement?

Let's be honest, are most people really watching porn, having a wank, then watching the rest of the porn? Probably not, so I am not sure how the engagement model of porn is similar to YouTube.

Having said that, with OnlyFans and other such sites, the porn landscape is certainly evolving, and perhaps it is that landscape (than porn hub) that is more engaging because there's the human element, e.g., you can ask an only fans person to say your name whereas you cannot when watching videos.
It’s different in that it’s not what you are signing up for.

> natural tendency of people to ignore others that aren't in the physical room

It's not just ignoring them, but making it hard for them to get a word in edgewise, or sometimes even to hear what others are saying. Most of the time it's not even intentional. It's getting caught up in the moment, and/or failing to adapt to an environment where different etiquette is necessary.

> Go find a firm that has genuinely embraced full remote

Just to be clear, truly embracing remote works means more than just having butts in seats in homes instead of in an office building. There are still plenty of people out there making most decisions in the same kind of clique-only conversations they used to have in the office, excluding not only people in different time zones but those who are just more socially/culturally distant from the inner circle. Truly embracing remote work means adopting an asynchronous workflow that makes information and conversation available to any team member at any time. Requiring them to be in the right place at the right time to gain full participation isn't embracing remote work, even if that "place" is a videoconference call.
Comes down to definition of autonomy. If you loosely define the problem to be solved, it is no wonder some take a different than expected approach. If you define the problem that needs to be solved correctly, then autonomy should work as team is likely to come up with better solution. Tech is R&D and creative and the conceptual models will be different amongst the stakeholders and team - the key is make sure everyone has the same model.
Google Workspace is just a rebrand of GSuite, right? It's unlikely to be killed off.
That may be true, but it’s not annoying enough for them to prioritize doing anything about it. We’d see them forming coalitions to counter the insurance lobby were it otherwise.

Also I’m skeptical that they don’t actually want it, per the sibling commenter’s remarks. I think bigger businesses are all too happy to have another lever of informational asymmetry to pull to manage their actual biggest cost: salary.
I'm noticing a bigger spread in the success of onboarding new people. The success cases aren't getting any better, but there are a lot more neglected people and more "failures to launch." It's normal for a senior person to need to show some initiative in getting the lay of the land and establishing themselves in the company, but I'm also seeing more junior people being unintentionally left to do the same, and few of them can handle it.

What's sad is that since expectations are lower for junior people, and since the industry has embraced the idea that virtually all traditional management responsibilities in software engineering should be left for engineers to figure out themselves, new employees can hang around for months without anyone caring that nobody has put any effort into making them productive, which stunts their growth and desensitizes them to being helpless and useless.

Eventually effective onboarding for fully remote employees will become the norm, but meanwhile, a lot of people are falling through the cracks.
I sooooo want you to be right.

However, you are wrong at least for USA. Zoning laws will slow this down and the momentum will be lost. I’d love a taste of europe in america with some mix zone areas.

I know not all cities are like the ossified ones. Ie., austin has mixed zones but many cities arent.

I want to live in the picture you paint.
It's also a paid service with many customers, so likely to last a long time.
Everything about your comment is wrong. Police aren't required to arrest everyone that is committing a crime, so they can choose to let low-level drug dealers do what they want. Police also go out on patrol, that's what pro-active policing is, no sci-fi necessary.

You can look at cities like Baltimore where the crime rate jumped after the Freddy Grey protests due to the police cutting back on the amount of pro-active policing they're doing.
