From their FAQ:

> Additionally, we will reserve the individual right to refuse to work on any projects that conflict with a worker’s ethics and to do so without fear of reprisal; as well as the ability to deny service to any customer completely if put to a majority vote by the workers.

This union's landing page already reads like a desire to bring progressive politics into the workplace, a disturbing trend throughout the tech industry that is completely inappropriate and needs to stop. But this portion from their FAQ goes even beyond that, basically saying they want to control business decision making based on their personal ethics and politics, but without any consequence. Put another way, they basically want to take control of the company and create a new management structure that supplants the existing one. Maybe they should just go do the hard work of leaving and forming their own company, instead of engaging in a long march through the institution (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_march_through_the_insti...).
I may not get your point - but a mathematical expression in itself is not functional - as far as I know. You have to give a definition that will likely be an infinite recursive function - which is strictly equivalent in what it can do to a Turing machine.

Memoized functions have to be idempotent (without side effects).

This is more like a multithreaded application, where one set of calculations is kept updated by a background thread, without most of the attendant synchronization issues. There was some very clever InterBase like generational tagging of data to prevent deadlocks.

Windows Update pushes all sorts of junk. At some point, Nadella must have realized, "Shit, Windows users put up with years of adware on their computers in the 90s and 00s. We're leaving money on the table by not taking advantage of this!"

Ex: In 2019, Microsoft added a shortcut Win+Ctrl+Alt+Shift that when pressed, brings up an advertisement to buy MS Office, which I have no use for, and you need to edit the registry to disable the shortcut. I already gave MS thousands of dollars for the laptop, you'd think they could leave me alone if they want me to buy another one.

Although at least with Windows, you can remove most of the damage yourself, which is more than can be said for Android. Quite honestly why does the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act exist if manufacturers remain free to abuse your machines at will?

To be honest, we don’t even manage parallel computations on the CPU well. In most languages there is basic SIMD at most with some autovectorization. But if you don’t write your code with threads explicitly, you will only ever use one core.

>Did you miss the part where I mentioned "for personal use"?

Since ZFS is simpler to use then your setup, is used to store 55PB of data without a single bit error since 2012, i don't see why someone should use inferior stuff, even when it's "personal use".

What I truly find remarkable is the rebranding of Musical.ly to TikTok. At first I wasn't quite sure that this really is essentially the exact same platform, just rebranded. When you look at the application ID on Android it is "com.zhiliaoapp.musically", suggesting that it is most probably based directly on Musical.ly.

Musical.ly has been around since 2014, steadily accumulating more users. So it isn't like TikTok just blew up out of nowhere either.

there is an irony that the primary goal of this organization is to eliminate groupthink but 22 of the 30(?) or so women in the whole study use a term "mediocre men" that wasn't even prompted for. that's... oddly specific of a word choice, like you have to be in a group to converge on this particular term. Like, not incompetent but mediocre?

Women in Banking and Finance (“WIBF” or “we”) are indebted to 44
women in financial and professional services, who gave their time
for the qualitative interviews and the 35 women, also in financial
and professional services, who took part in the roundtables.

well, I hope this is enough information for the peer reviewed version to come out.
"There used to be noble causes worth dying for."

That sounds a lot like propaganda line from a book of previous victors who got to write the history.

While I think you are not completely off - there were just undertakings that needed sacrifice of human lives - this line of thinking seems to be stained forever through constant cynical abuse by the powers that be and powers that aspire to be.
I'd say that's how childhood looks like for the majority of people on this planet outside of the first-world protective umbrella. Imagine growing up in war-torn Africa, drug-ridden slums of South America or fanatical Middle East with daily executions.
This reminds me of something; I was a “troubled” teen, social outcast, quite insular and probably ADHD; this lead to multiple exclusions from schools and constant harassment, which led to more expulsions (because if harassers > 1 then it’s more expensive for the school to exclude the harasser than the harassee) this was the UK where expulsions are as far as I understand relatively expensive for the school to conduct.

Anyway, at some point when I was 14 or 15 I ended up in some kind of troubled kids training thing, it was ran by two (older than average, maybe 35~) university students and it was about assertiveness and understanding yourself.

The course was only a couple days a week for 6 weeks, but honestly it completely changed my life. I didn’t even realise it at the time but some low level anxiety seemed to get washed away after that and I became a much less awkward, more outgoing person who could handle making mistakes.

I truly wish I had paid more attention to the course itself so I could refer to it now.

It was probably standard assertiveness training, but honestly I can’t put words on how much my life improved as a direct result.

A large part of it was acceptance of yourself, and acceptance of each other in the group, we told each other what we thought of each other, the bad and the good. Most people didn’t get that kind of feedback and never thought about themselves the way they are seen by Others. Or if they did, it was the negatives or the ego. A few people were perplexed at why their ego didn’t match how they were perceived; or that their negatives were barely considered at all or not brought up when discussing negatives.

EDIT: FWIW this sounds exactly like the training I had: https://www.abct.org/Information/?m=mInformation&fa=fs_ASSER...
I don't, but I have no other alternative that feels better to me.

1. Buy a standard android but spend ages trying to de-google it.

2. Buy an iphone, but then I just have to trust another trillion $ company, and pay much more too.

3. Live my life without a phone.

I choose 1 because that seems the least worse option right now.
Everyone trusts Google, whether they like it or not. This is the definition of trust that security operations use: A trusts B if B is capable of doing something nasty to A.

Google has a heck-load of money. They could pay a disreputable aggregate company to deliver a load of tonne-bags of gravel to my front garden, blocking my car in, and generally destroying the landscaping. I trust them not to do this, and the reason this is true is because I haven't taken 100%-effective steps that would prevent them from doing so, and therefore they are capable of it. This example may seem a little ridiculous (there are no 100%-effective steps I could take, and I think they're trustworthy on this particular score), but it is a technically correct example of how everyone trusts Google.
Thank you very much for both your comment and link. This cleared things up for me.

It feels like an obvious oversight that there is not some company-wide Wiki to organize all of these docs. Since we are talking about Amazon/AWS, this has to be intentional. Can you speculate on why this gap exists?
You could kill yourself before it advanced that far or set a living will. You'd possibly need to move to a country that would be willing to euthanize you - but you could do it.

"Arbitrary" is doing a lot of sneaky work here. You're implying that the law would somehow allow Google to manipulate investigators. But the law has broad allowances and exceptions in lots of areas, and competing permissions/denials that together weave specific allowances. There's little reason to think that the law couldn't allow app installation in general and also disallow either targeting of individuals or collection/manipulation of certain kinds of data.
Automatic app installation and updates will only trigger when charging, not in active use for >90 minutes, and on a wifi network that's not set as metered
Intel’s MKL + their compiler + their CPUs with the latest SIMD extensions is still one of the best stacks for Scientific programming. Get a scientist to write some single-core kernel in C or C++ language, and that compiler will work serious miracles on code that needs to scale up to hundreds if not thousands of machines (think supercomputers). The game only changed here recently when Nvidia went all in on the server GPU offerings in the past few years, but writing fast CUDA can get much messier than your average biologist would care for.

Intel has more software engineers that AMD has employees, so their support for their math libraries, compilers, their GPU drivers, their benchmarking tools, and their contributions to the LLVM ecosystem, the Linux kernel, and other projects have helped them get an iron grip on academic/scientific side of high-performance computing.
Its not about dying. Its about quality of life. Most things are at this point in our civilization. What if your furnace fails and you live in Alaska? Some Houstonians would probably assume that is a death sentence. Someone in Alaska would probably be fine. Uncomfortable, yes. Dead? No.

More broadly, I find it incredibly contradictory that a technology board would approve of intentionally-shitty quality of service because the engineering "is just too hard".
Thanks for the attempt to clarify. My question was, what do you do with the IP address of the user that you get through these “phone-home” requests and I think it is left unanswered?

We still seem to engage in the "but mind is completely different from body" pattern of thinking.

Even if the modern reincarnationists were right and brain was just a TV set channeling the mental "signal" instead of the source of your mind, it is pretty clear that a broken brain is usually part of a broken body. Degraded metabolism, stiff arteries, cancers, most such pathologies involve the entire organism.

I think rather than a single person, you want exactly two people who have to agree on something to make a decision; and if you can't get to a decision, it's probably a sign you need to solve other problems first.

That way, there's someone who can challenge your opinion and you have to convince them to agree with it or find an alternative. Often during the convincing part you identify issues that you wouldn't have thought of by yourself, and since you don't have ultimate authority by yourself, you're less likely to unintentionally shut up someone who wants to disagree but defers to authority.
If people don't want to install the app, then that should be the end of it. The government's inability to convince people to install the application should not justify the application being installing it anyway. Just the contrary.

I live in MA, i had no prompt asking me to activate this at all. it was silently installed without any notice. this isn't an auto update, this was an unsolicited app install.
Alright, was curious as this is how I have been handling my third layer of backups for quite a while now, regular incremental encrypted zfs snapshots to an offsite storage provider using API keys that only have write priveleges. Wanted to make sure it wasn't something about "snapshots" which made this a bad idea in a way I hadn't thought of. Doesn't seem that's the case.

Another question worth asking is "what is the governing law?" It is almost certainly contract law via Google's ToS. Government phones probably have different ToS, but government employee' personal phones have the same ToS we have.

If Google is asserting non-contractual rights, I'd like to know what they are.

WU allows hardware manufacturers to silently install literally anything based on hardware ID matching and the only way to prevent that is to disable WU driver updates entirely (via GPC/registry).

In my case the maker of my motherboard installed a persistent “self-repairing” (i.e. difficult to uninstall) from yet another third party. Naturally, I will not buy a product from them (MSI) again.

Another way to put this is: windows update will install malware w/o user approval in the background.

>google play services is actively listening for remote installation requests?

Uh, yes? That is and always has been core functionality. You can click "install" on the Google Play website on your laptop and the app will magically appear on your phone, if both devices are signed in to Google. I triggered this behavior accidentally a good 10 years ago when I got my first Android phone, and it gave me the shivers - it really drove home the point that Google had root on my phone, not me.

In fact, this entire behavior is so normalized on phones we now have a special word for the process of downloading an app and installing it manually, the way we do on PCs: "sideloading".
Cats & dogs mostly communicate with body language so this is of limited use. A translator model would need video for training.

> Meanwhile ZFS is far far better than the alternatives (btrfs) in terms of data integrity and reliability.

No, it's not.
Btrfs is nowadays perfectly reliable as long as you avoid the in development features which are all explicitly marked as in development and will warn you. That's why Facebook uses it in production. It also has some nice advantage for home use. Btrfs pools are a lot simpler to manage and have less quirks than ZFS.

> Maybe it is just stockholm syndrome but do you really, really need to dynamically expand your array by an arbitrary number of disks that badly? There is ultimately no way around the reliability question so you can't expand forever and if you're serious about setting up a nice fileserver that'll be reliable for the long run, putting 4 drives in it isn't that bad.

Btrfs will do that just fine for example. That's really a limitation of ZFS.

I wish ZFS users would just stop FUDing about btrfs. Most of them haven't touched it for a decade and keep paroting the same old things.

I'm hosting on linode, and once I had my SPF & DKIM records setup, things went a lot smoother.
One "weird trick" I discovered with deliverability was that plaintext email from my server was rejected, but HTML email from it was accepted.

For anyone with deliverability issues and mail going to spam, it might be worth trying this out (after you have sorted all the usual points like DKIM, SPF, PTR record etc.) - this obviously only helps if your IP is clean. I was surprised though, and only discovered it by accident.

I had good deliverability to Google hosted mail, but not to Microsoft 365. I even had issues with deliverability doing 365 to 365, until I sent HTML mail.
> Then there is .NET Standard, which was at version 1 and 2 (which are newer than .NET Framework 4.0 or 4.5? but have significantly fewer APIs available, and many classes are missing methods and properties that were present in .NET Framework).
