This is what happens when you do not translate what you have read into the right context. There is always a stratification in the society and injustices arise due to it. Such a broad statement however, is not useful for actually understanding society. Labour constitution in 2021 is vaaaaaaaastly different from that of 1921 (I cannot add enough a's to emphasize how vast).

Further, there is no point delving into that entire argument when you have just made up this strawman and inserted it into a conversation about workplace attendance requirements. You assume that broader context applies directly to this problem. It does not. The person who wants you back in office, in many cases, is your immediate manager. Is he also "management" when he has is only one degree closer to the CEO on a (generally) 6-7 step ladder? Or did you just transpose workplace hierarchy from the days of factory work and just make a go with it because you cannot be bothered to tax your brain to see how it is entirely different? I'd wager it's the latter.

Adding a third option, proposing sex being the superior categorisation completely ignores the existence of intersex people.

Take Hanne Gaby Odiele (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanne_Gaby_Odiele). They (their preferred pronoun) have an XY chromosome but due to an androgen insensitivity looks traditionally female - to the point of being a fairly successful model for woman's fashion. They'd certainly be very out of place in a mens bathroom if forced there due to their chromosome.
> You do know you don't own the airspace over your house, right? The drone operator is operating within the law and you do not have a right to talk to them.

A landowner in the United States owns the air space above their land up to the height that the FAA has classified as Navigable Airspace in that area, generally either 500ft or 1000ft. Flying over someone’s property below that height is trespassing, and after a good faith effort to identify the trespasser and inform them to stop trespassing, the landowner is entitled to destroy the drone (for example with buckshot) or report the trespassing to the police for investigation.
>Do you work at that station for 7ish hours a day?

I've been working like this since we started working remotely last march. I don't need to move anywhere- I'm always at home. The reason it's a laptop because I used to walk between two offices,so it's handy.

>if you stay there the whole day - it looks miserable if so!

You are right,it does look and is miserable:) at work I had 2 large monitors on arms,so it was much better but the rest looked the same- I don't like lots of stuff around me,so all my desks are pretty minimalistic.

I'm moving place soon,so as soon as I move in, I'll get myself a much better setup- looking at a tiny screen all day isn't great at all.

> studying subjects often of minimal practical value to their future careers

the fact that these subjects offer minimal value should mean that the loan taken to study them should not have been taken. If the student likes the subject, and would be willing to pay, then so be it. But to borrow money, off the back of tax payers, to study a useless subject, is basically folly on the part of the administration approving those loans.
Programming is one component of how the “real work” gets done, yes. There is plenty of very real work that happens before and after the developer writes code.

That being said, developers are in a very unique position because they are the ones who actually build the product. If you can’t sell your devs on an idea, it ain’t getting built.

East Asian IC supply chains in general, PRC/TW/JP/SKR accounts for ~75% of global IC capacity. Losing TSMC in war over TW will set the world back 1-2 nodes and ~10 years. Having expansive regional war (i.e. US trying to defend TW from JP/SKR bases) that knocks out the regions semi will set world back decades of capex. It's almost like MAD for semiconductors until enough gets reshored away from east asia.

> They are partisan but they are less at taking digs at the opposition.

Funny, just yesterday I got convinced of the opposite. So yesterday Germany played Hungary in the European Soccer Championship; before that Hungary passed some anti-gay legislation and in response some German activists wanted to light the Munich stadium up in rainbow colors, which UEFA ultimately forbid.

Watching the match on ZDF (the most well known German TV channel), literally 50% of halftime was spent talking about how great of an effort that was. There was zero talk about the actual game (and there was enough to talk about), instead they showed people handing out rainbow flags and snippets of interviews, where everyone basically agreed that "soccer is unpolitical but the Hungarians definitely crossed a line with this law."

They never mentioned the actual law. Hungary banned homosexuality from children's movies. If you ask me that's about as softcore as homophobia gets, yet everyone in the segment was completely dramatic, like the Hungarians were going to deport gay people or something. The whole thing was devoid of actual information, instead basically just repeating "Hungary bad! UEFA bad! Activists good! Everyone agrees!" (keep in mind, without telling you what Hungary even did!) It was kind of surreal to watch, completely unlike what you would expect from a reputable TV station, and utterly out of the blue if you just followed the sport casually. Definitely a cheap stab at the opposition.
That's a fair point. The announcements are relatively new, so I don't infer anything negative from the fact that disbursements haven't happened yet.

The two announcements I'm thinking of are Ontario's ($10M over 3 years) and Alberta's $8M (available in $150K grants, application process for the next 6 months). The fact that there are dollar amounts, timelines, and they're offered by a political party holding a majority in the legislature makes me think it's likely to actually happen.

LOL. "And how long have you been beating your wife?"

babesh is adding facts, mixed with pure opinion, of his own choosing to also further a narrative. Is "Defund the police has caused skyrocketing property crime and violent crime." a verified (or even provable) fact? If so, what was omitted from that statement that would have made it less biased. And ultimately, how is he not committing the same sin as corporate media?

Does this inherently tie A16z to try and destabilize or cast shade at traditional financial markets for the gains of their own funds?

There is an inherent conflict in that they provide returns to their LPs in USD $ while underwriting crypto service companies which partially/wholly rely on the value of crypto to increase over time to increase adoption of services.

The other argument is that it isn't a zero sum game and that both can succeed - however I don't buy that in the long run unless crypto et al. remains an alternative to finance companies. Maybe they split market share and A16z is just diversifying its portfolio of exposure.
I don't remember exactly but I think it was a Quarks&Co waay back that compared glass bottles in the Pfandsystem with plastic ones and plastic ones that don't get reused IIRC. But don't quote me on that, try to find the episode :)

What I do remember is that it's not actually as clear cut as one might think. They also accounted for the fact that glass is much heavier and thus you need to use more gasoline to ship it around (from the bottle producer to the bottling plant, to the stores, to you, you bring it back to the store which ships it back to the bottling plant to wash and refill and so on. And then you can not reuse it indefinitely either. A hard plastic reusable coke bottle is much lighter and can be reused a lot of times in the same manner. I remember seeing a lot of them where you could tell from all the scratches and such. Especially on the bottom.

Related but not plastics: another probably Quarks&Co episode compared apples from Australia shipped to Germany vs. local apples. According to their calculations it was actually better for the enviro ment to ship fresh apples from Australia to Germany than to store local German apples and sell those at some point. Some point because of the amount of resources needed to store local apples in order for them to stay fresh that long. So at some point during spring/summer it starts being better to ship them from Australia.

But they definitely aren't. And realistically, Google hire most of their people in the US, so it would be 300mn rather than 7.9bn.

Good. Advertising is theft.

Hear me out. If we agree that my attention has economic value (and it must as that is the entire basis of advertising); and if we agree once my attention is captured it cannot be applied to something else at that moment; then unsolicited advertising is an act of theft.

Unlikely legal conclusion I know, but damn, maybe I would like to sit on the beach and have my own thoughts rather than be forced by an airplane banner to wonder if I need a personal injury attorney...

Looks like AMD systems might mostly be coming back as "This PC can't run Windows 11."

> Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

Possibly most AMD motherboards don't have TPM integrated? I don't know a lot about TPM though.

Someone said...

> enable tpm in your bios i did it and it worked for me, I have a 3080, 5800x, 16gb of ram

EDIT: My motherboard (Asus Prime X470 Pro) lists TPM as a separate module you buy, but the connector is present. $12 module, for example: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1237446-REG/asus_tpm_...

The manual does list an fTPM setting as well, but I have not tested that yet.
One on One is again not really a worthwhile topic given that's not how basketball is played at high levels.

> there's no way a much shorter player can reliably guard a taller player.

Just flatout false. Clint Capela isn't the tallest center in the NBA but is an absolutely dominant defensive player. It's not about guarding all five players on the other team, it's about winning your matchup and providing help. In both scenarios, height isn't the most important thing at all. Jrue Holiday is also an elite defender but isn't very tall at all.

Height is a red herring; sometimes height can be used as a proxy in place of skill. The thing about elite levels of play, is that the skill level is so high that you can't really get away with lacking skill.

> Sure, Steph Curry is probably the most skilled player in the league. But do you think a team with five Steph Currys can beat a team with, say, five Paul Georges? I'm not so sure.

Steph's ability to set picks and create mismatches isn't nearly as good as his ability to use picks and exploit mismatches. Steph's playstyle is enabled by a totally different archetype of player. PG is a more "complete" offensive and defensive player.
Something has to give. Apple controls what apps are allowed, how those apps behave, how those apps operate and then point to the web as the alternative, which they also control the only browser they allowed on the system. Then stories like https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/11/22528701/apple-rank-own-a... show why all that power concentrated has already lead to anti-competitive behavior. While I don't think there is a single perfect solution, I do think that if they don't flex in some of these areas that the governments of the world will break them.
Vegan silk would not be a remotely novel invention (in fact the first synthetic silk was invented in 1904.) "Spider silk" denotes that this silk has superior strength compared to existing synthetic silks. Not sure what you find suspect here.

The accredited investor rules irk me. Not because investing in startups is a good way to accumulate wealth, but because of the double standard.

For instance, even if the results are reproducible, maybe the proposed key idea in the paper is not the piece of code with the largest impact on performance. Though, with the code available you might be able to discover exactly what the discrepancy is if there is one and you might be stuck at "it doesn't reproduce" otherwise

The issue with assigning guilt from the actions of ancestors is that not everyone is guilty.

I’m first generation Canadian. Is it fair that I should pay for the sins of your great grandfathers when mine weren’t even in the country? Canada accepts 300k immigrants per year. Since the closure of the residential schools, (very roughly speaking) 9m people have entered the country so it’s not a small number we’re talking about here.

There’s also the added issue that not everyone supported the residential schools. What if my ancestors protested the system? Should I still pay reparations?

I agree the quality of life on the reserves is a real problem that needs to be fixed but pushing the blame on the children of the settlers (or not even their children!) is not a good solution.
Oh interesting, I assumed this was a response to a support case or something, not the text on their website. In that case I agree with you.

Easy to thumb our noses at it, and this community is already on it in spades from the comments so far.

I'll wait and see. I like Win10 much more than I thought I would. I rode Win7 into the sunset, only abandoning the ship about a week before they dropped security updates for it because I thought I'd dislike Win10 so much. I even ran Ubuntu as my desktop OS for about four months before switching back over to Microsoft and Win10.

I'll wait and see this time.
I use Linux now but keep windows VMs around for some legacy stuff. It takes about 5-10s to boot win7. It's snappy as heck, and reliable, even in a vm with minimal ram.

Additionally, in my (relatively) highly educated country (The Netherlands), selection for university starts in primary school, where about 20% is assigned ('given the advice of going to') to the type of secundary education that prepares students for university. So I think it's fair to estimate that a university education for 20% of the population is realistic, and I have no reason to believe this would be significantly (10 percent points higher or lower) elsewhere in the Union.
I don’t think most tech workers are “literally in the 1%” if you look at it by average income in the area where they work, and if you don’t assume Google L6 as typical of a software engineer. There are plenty of product managers, lawyers, business people, HR, etc that are making salaries similar to software engineers, often the same or more, and often being able to go home at 5 on a regular basis.
