I was talking about Kamloops specifically but actually, googling, it looks like the order that staffed the school just signed on to better record sharing[1] - this is a new story to me so there may be some problematic limitations on access I'm not aware of but it looks like things are at least moving in a good direction. I had been talking about the Sisters of St. Anne as detailed here[2] - but yea according to the above article this is no longer correct.

One idea that floated around was to have a special division to handle indigenous cases a bit like how they have peacekeepers (indigenous self-policing) instead of the RCMP on reserves.
That's really strange logic. It's the government which block the people to use the gym service, not the gym. The damage was caused by the government and if somebody to compensate the damage, it should be the government.
I'd be interested in seeing personalized ads but there is no such thing. I recently had a look at what ad categories Google applies to me and honestly.. it is so wide that it is does not feel personal in the slightest, and indeed it's wide & vague and nonspecific enough that "employed male, about 30, western" would be a sufficient description. Indeed, I feel like that just filters for the ads they'd blast on broadcast media all day long anyway.

Advertisers don't really understand who I am or what I want, and Youtube history isn't a good substitute. If anything it's circular, because Youtube also keeps recommending the same shit based on viewing history..
This reminds me of a recurring conversation I've had with relatives, in which I try to explain to them that Facebook isn't a person. It's not a media company with an editorial staff. It's not a company like anything we have seen before. It has billions of users. Trillions of posts, photos, videos and sundry other content. Thousands, possibly millions, of advertisers.

If a person breaks a promise to you, he's a lying liar who lies. If Facebook recommends a political group to "at least 3 people," that's not a broken promise. That's an amazingly effective tweak to the recommendation algorithm. The same goes for all sort of claims people make about Facebook:

- You were paid in Rubles! (It's not like there was a salesman that should have been suspicious. Facebook gets paid in Rubles *all the time* because they have millions of Russian users and many, many Russian ad customers. No human looked at the ad before it went up.)

- You're allowing people to post hateful things! (Again no human reads all the posts. There are people that review a tiny percentage that have been flagged for one reason or another, but they'd have to employ a sizable percentage of the world's population to review everything.)

- You're censoring conservatives! (Same thing, nobody is checking the political affiliation of posters before allowing posts to go up.)

The fact is, this thing has never existed before, and basically no human inventions have reached this many people before, and it's frigging hard. Zuckerberg and the rest, are making it up as they go.

All that's not to say that Facebook is awesome and the criticism is unwarranted. I personally don't use Facebook anymore for all the usual reasons. We should absolutely be talking about the role of social media in society, and how it's really warped public discourse, polarized the polity etc. But "it's easy, if you would just do this one thing, everything would be peachy" is absolutely the wrong conclusion and people seem to insist on reaching it every damn time Facebook comes up.
> it'll most likely be underwater by 2050

To be fair, you could make a similar argument for San Francisco, a city positioned on a fault line that many consider "overdue for the big one."

Over the next 30 years, your risk of dying from a natural disaster in SF might even be greater than in Miami. At least climate change is (mostly) a slow burn. Even with hurricanes, you can see them coming a few days in advance and evacuate. But an earthquake is a sudden and rapid catastrophe that can (will) occur on some unpredictable day in the future. That said, I do agree that erosion seems like a more plausible sudden risk for a coastal city like Miami, especially if it caused yesterday's building collapse.

Climate change messaging, in general, does a poor job of presenting long-term risks and differentiating between them. People aren't concerned about a gradual rise sea levels, temperatures, or even natural disasters – as long as they're confident we can prepare for or predict the catastrophes. But I expect we react differently to a perceived increase in risk of unpredictable and sudden disasters. If the risk of my building collapsing is going to double every year, that's more frightening to me than the possibility of a few more hurricanes.

Fact is, most people just don't care about existential risks. The people who do tend to be neurotic and unpleasant (see: the past 15 months).

Sounds daft and pointless to me. Are they mistaking their software for Apple or Android? Is Linux a usable alternative? IMHO, Windows 7 is my favorite OS, also XP, I don't love Windows 10 but Windows 11 sounds even less exciting, maybe MS should make some kind of "special edition" Windows XP that can support new features as a novelty.

> Apple does things like making NSScreen.visibleRect readonly so that only their Dock program can change it and nobody else. Meanwhile, on Windows/Linux I can programatically do just about anything I choose to, so I can replace the taskbar (and even app window chrome/menus) with something else if I want.

If you turn SIP off, you should be able to swizzle those methods with your own implementations. I admittedly haven't tried with NSScreen.visibleRect specifically, but I've swizzled plenty of other low-level objective-c stuff. When I need to go even deeper, there's dyld interposing.

You just need to turn off SIP. It's the magic switch that lets you do whatever you want. Some people argue "letting the user do whatever they want" is poor security, and perhaps it is, but you can't have it both ways—either grant yourself control and accept the security consequences, or leave Apple in control and accept the restrictions.
They actually are opening up to unaccredited investors, you just need to have a CFP or CPA or something like that (not sure of the actual requirements, I just know that they recently changed them)

I’m honestly not sure how I would even start to try to cram this into SQLite in a way that wasn’t awful.
The Science Behind Grilling the Perfect Steak
I've seen at least one implementation that uses explicit regions; before doing something with say a bunch of cons operations, you allocate a region, all the evaluation is done in the region, it returns a result to the parent region, and the region is then manually dropped, freeing the space used. Set up another region for the next large evaluation and so on.

Almost C style, and I'm sure just as error prone, but it seems like it could work.

Use some basic reasoning:

* Many people are shocked and surprised by these findings

* They are sympathetic to aboriginal causes and not sticking their fingers in their ears. They were not trying to avoid it

You are in the educated set (university), work for the government, and are commenting on a text based forum so you probably easily consume and retain text based information. You also had a school that taught death stats specifically (mine didn’t) and are young enough that these stats were known at the time the curriculum was formed.

If most people were like you, these findings would not be headline news. The fact that the finding are surprising sympathetic people should indicate that you’re not the majority.

And it is not fair to people to say they “choose” to remain ignorant because they didn’t pay close attention and integrate statistics at the time the truth and reconciliation report was released.

Do you have no gaps in your knowledge? In particular outside of bookish, text based knowledge, which you are surely top 1% in.
85 repos seems like so many. Are you making many changes that need to span across multiple? How many are touched over the course of a week?
No one said anything about bankers and engineers or whoever else. I'm fine with them making less too.

Absurd.
No, once 20H1 was released it got cut into its own release branch. 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2 are all just updates on top of that branch. You can tell because their build numbers are all 1904x.

Windows 11 is based on the mainline branch after the above (though it too has been cut into its own release branch now). of course, some changes might be ported back and forth between releases.

So machines not eligible to be upgraded to Windows 11 will stay on Windows 10 and get 21H2 and who knows how many more updates.

Yeah I figured you didn't mean the actual highest paid individual, and from past HN discussions I've seen that there are some folks making over $500k/yr at FAANG. I picked $400k because it's not uncommon for that to be the total comp for mid-career FAANG tech worker. But I could be wrong — I'm a bootstrapped founder who used to be a Silicon Valley lawyer, so my information comes from friends or HN discussions.
The problem is the humans - the users. They keep clicking on outrage-bait, and re-posting it. AIs are not going to fix the humans. They might turn the gain down a bit, they might cut off some of the worst stuff, but they're not going to fix the problem. The problem is us.
I'm not so sure because "what issue is political and controversial and which issue should be considered the de facto norm" misses the distinction. Apparently what make a social club for LGBT people political or not is how "normal" it is.

I think you're point is 100% right that Facebook is a black box of moderation with basically no accountability outside of getting enough journalists to raise a stink on your behalf. But the issue is this perception that LGBT spaces are inherently political and that Facebook is just giving them a pass because of cultural favoritism. Because the answer is no, LGBT youth groups aren't political and Facebook isn't categorizing them as such so there isn't much to talk about unless you think they are.

How much email flows through gmail? Should Amazon have 50% of all ecommerce transaction data? How much of the chat space and social media does Facebook own?

You're not wrong, but I think rather than bringing up counter-examples, you've produced a list of similar problems.

When someone tries to find a new website someone told them about for the first time... what % of that is filtered through Google? If it's a majority, which I suspect it is, then it's still definitely a problem.

I moved off Oxygen to Lineage on my OnePlus 7, but I still have two major gripes:

- The mic quality is terrible, even on speakerphone. People can barely hear me on voice calls. I haven't heard of significant backlash against this, but it's so painful every time I make a call.

- No headphone jack. I had to go through 5 USB dongles just to find one that produces sound, and even then I am unable to charge and use headphones at the same time. I end up suffering from this nearly every day.

The lack of a headphone jack alone should have been a deal breaker for me, but my previous 4-year-old phone tanked in performance after an Android major version update and I was desperate.

Huh? My description is completely accurate. I feel like a lot of people didn't actually read Damore's document, or perhaps read it and were shouting "YES! YES!" so loudly as they read about Google's supposed left-wing bias that they can't actually perceive the words written.

Damore says straight up and in so many words that Google should end all of its "diversity" hiring initiatives because he believes they're discriminatory against himself, this is just not an arguable issue.

Quick quote[1] on what a SmartNIC is:

4x100G. Double slot.

There's also a C5000X platform, with I believe only one board out right now, which is again an FPGA based add-on card, 2x25G, and also has an on-card Xeon-D processor.

Just a little reminder here at the end, AMD is still trying to get it's acquisition of the biggest FPGA company on the planet Xilinx to go through. And my general assessment of P4: P4 definitely is a strong contender for a tech which can get these fancy awesome transciever-heavy FPGAs to see more adoption.

I used to work at an exhaust shop. We sold catalytic converters to a scrap yard (we also had a separate dumpster for scrap metal that they picked up weekly as well). We needed to show receipts for purchased cats that matched what we scrapped, so if we scrapped 50 we needed to show we had sold at least 50. Although the main reason for that was environmental, it was to prevent shops from removing converters and straight piping the vehicle. However, it also did help to prevent theft, although I don't know if the yard checked thoroughly for non-commercial customers.
Fair. And I fully cede that insisting on other words here is silly. I had meant my post mostly as a question, but forgot the right punctuation.
People who move to senior positions often feel like the work they are doing is not as productive as they were doing before, even if they are doing OK by the judgement of the people around them.

You "sense" that one team feels let down. How does your manager feel about your work? Have you been an advocate for that team with your manager? (e.g. not just "i am overwhelmed" but "i don't have the resources to give Team X" what it needs.) Can you help team X by letting something else slide or getting people to be more self-sufficient?
Good one. I’d say, take either Steam or Lutris or something like that, so that the distro is abstracted away as much as possible.

> But I doubt there are any tech workers who would give their left arm to be making $4m/yr

I'm a software dev, I don't make 6 figures. I'd probably give my left arm to make $4m/year, I could afford a robot arm with that I'm sure.

$4m/year means I could retire before I'm 40 and live the rest of my life with the lifestyle I have now with comfort. Even missing an arm that sounds way better than toiling in software for another 25-30 years.

This is not true. If something's working, you don't change it for no reason.

Business requirements and requests change all the time. 90% of our work is done in response to that. The other 10% is fixing up technical problems due to increased scaling or bugs found, and then basically never do we upgrade a system to keep up with security updates or change to a more modern tech.

I've certainly read movie synopses instead of watching them, mainly to have some idea of what other people are talking about online.

But 10 minutes is an odd length, it seems too long for simply conveying necessary details and highlights, but far too short an edit to be anything like a substitute for watching the movie.
