If your employer wants you to have Slack on a phone, they should buy you a phone. That’s been my situation across multiple employers for 5+ years.

I plug the same monitor and mouse into a work computer and a personal computer. This isn’t hard - you can use a single dongle with all of your inputs so you only need to swap one plug. Or you could use some kind of KVM switch.

I understand that startups may not want the expense of buying hardware for their employees, and you might not want to buy your own laptop, but if you end up building something valuable in your personal time, it’s in your interest to keep these things separate. For example, you might work on a side-project which is somehow related to your employer’s business, and eventually decide to quit and start your own company. You’ll be in a more secure legal position if you used your own device for that. You might judge that you aren’t likely do do that, but you should think through the trade-off.

The GitHub agreement sounds like an improvement, but most companies don’t use it. I’m not sure how well it protects your interests. If you’re working at odd hours because you’re receiving notifications on a personal device, while you’re also working on your side-project on a work device, would lawyers agree on what is personal and what is work?
How can I put a Single Family House I buy in my Roth IRA?
I had a similar experience after switching companies (to remote) last year. Work computer has no personal accounts/services. iPhone (and personal Mac) has no work accounts/services. No Slack, calendars, etc. I made it clear up-front that I am not available before 8AM and after 5PM M-F, but very available during work hours. Best decision I ever made!
It's hard to compare smoking to the 'sin of the week'. It's the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. (or was a few years ago), and probably has been for generations. It is one of the most studied and prolonged public health issues.

It's hard to blame smoking insurance costs on 'sin' - it kills people and increases costs for the insurance company, possibly more than any other choice people can make. If you drive in drag races and ask for car insurance, don't be surprised if it costs more.
This entirely depends on what you do from that point forward. Are you using a VPN provided by your employer? Are you installing any screen sharing or collaboration apps for work? You'll need to understand what each of these are capable of in order to fully understand your exposure.
Having enough money will make you behave similarly just to avoid taxes. Billionaires will employ similar lawyers, accountants, and use the same practices and loopholes without agreeing beforehand.

There are already trodden paths to avoid taxes, and they won't risk opening unknown paths when the current ones are safe.
Well, I know I didn't keep track 2017-2020 and I don't know any site that did. Do you have site that actually did?

If I would own 81m.org site which only purpose is to monitor whitehouse youtube channel (very specific) and believed that the end justifies the means, why wouldn't I hire a botnets to help with that effort?

If my botnet works I can show that general population is dissatisfied. If youtube removes my spam I can use that to show that YouTube is partisan. Either way I win.

I have always wondered about this... here in the third world, students pretty much rely on Windows Education and Office 365 Education for all their Windows / Office needs, as the cost for these is too high. Yet, you don't actually "own" these as a student; they're managed by your IT department. So I was always curious if there are any implications / hidden traps.
Why is this downvoted? This is exactly the usability argument for having a bottom-left aligned Start menu, and it's based on robust evidence about how easily users can select controls of different sizes and in different places with a pointing device.

If you have such a large screen that you can't quickly move your pointer to anywhere on it, I suggest that you have a bigger problem with your system than where your Start menu appears.

What you're saying is true to a large extent. But numerically the most interacted posts on the platform are not just right-wing, but far, far right wing. See https://twitter.com/FacebooksTop10 which posts them every day. There's the occasional cute cat, NASA photo, or centrist/left-wing news source, sure. But it's 80-90% far right commentators. Whether this is due to the asymmetrical polarization of right vs. left or something that Facebook is doing is hard to say. But the fact is that the most active posts are almost all far right political commentary.

I think everyone should have a decent home. Homes that are too big for their occupants are an inefficient use of a limited resource. I don’t think it’s fair that some would get paid for no labour because of this mid-allocation.

The weird thing is that none of it is terribly surprising or unexpected. So information was stolen just to kind of confirm what everyone already knew?

If this was all new information I might disagree with you, but we already knew capital gains is horrendously undertaxed. And knowing the specific dollar amount doesn't change the conversation much, it just makes it that much more incendiary.

These children should be exhumed, autopsied, identified, and returned to their communities wherever it is possible to obtain the permission of local native communities to do so.

There are too many questions about what went on in residential schools. It's time to address those questions.
>Strong democracies don't assure that atrocities don't happen, it just means that governments are able to be held accountable for them.

Has any government been held accountable for the "Residential School" system? No. Governments have apologized after the fact for actions of previous instances of the government. There has been zero accountability on the matter. Same with the atrocities, against first nations or slaves, here in the US.

>There will never be a Truth and Reconilliation commission in Xi Jinping's China

Likewise, there wasn't a T&R commission in under the Canadian governments that were in charge while these acts were committed.

>its politicians may face consequences if such actions were to continue or aren't reconciled.

>I would say that actually the extent to which it is possible that politicians do not face consequences is a reflection of weaknesses in the representation of our democracy

These statements are true only to the extent that the atrocities are politically unpopular. We don't need to look very far, temporally or spatially, to find examples of genocide being politically popular.

I'm glad I live in a liberal democracy and not under a dictatorship or some other kind of authoritarian system, but we shouldn't pretend that our form of government is capable of doing all, or even very much, of the hard work of respecting human rights for us. That's a key ingredient in the recipe to backsliding.

> given that mass graveyards were found.

They were just graveyards. Nothing "mass" about them. A mass grave is where a backhoe is used to open a giant pit and dump bodies in en masse.

These are just individuals dying and graves made for them as needed. Given most of these were run starting in the 1890s and the first-half of the twentieth century, mortality rates were quite high. Reminder: penicillin was only generally available after 1945.

Before that, it didn't matter if you were the US President's son, life could be extremely fragile:

> The general story is well-known: while playing lawn tennis with his brother on the White House grounds, sixteen-year-old Calvin [Coolidge], Jr. developed a blister atop the third toe of his right foot.

A little while ago there was a news article from BC about a former school having 210 graves. People seem to have been shocked that this number was 'high', but it seems that most people didn't do the math: the school ran for over 70 years, and with that many graves, all you need is 3 deaths a year over the decades to get to that number.

Given historical child mortality rates, 3 isn't a crazy-high number IMHO:

I added the wiki page for Kamala Harris' dad (a professor) to wikipedia (shortly after Biden announced her as his running mate in the election), and within literally 2 minutes, two different people had flagged it for deletion. One reason given was that academics need to be especially notable to warrant a wiki page, completely ignoring his relation to her daughter, which was mentioned in the original draft of the article stub. All proposals for deletion have since been removed, but I was surprised at the ferocity at which users want to delete new articles.

I think our main point of comparison for the RCMP behavior is the American policing system and from that comparison the RCMP come out looking saintly. I also do strongly believe that RCMP members take a lot of pride in being a force of justice and trying to apply the law evenly - there are certainly cases where that doesn't happen but my point is more focused on the contrast of duties.

RCMP members are normally trained for situations that local police (that specialize in de-escalation) can't handle - but when it comes to reservations they're the authority in pretty much all cases. Being in the RCMP isn't an easy job and it'll leave you scarred and hardened in a way that can seriously impede your ability to properly deescalate non-violent situations.

Yes. Death (and rape) camps for children.

[1] This is a very good interview with Murray Sinclair, the former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission where he states:

"The parents were often not notified that their children have died and little effort was made to get the bodies home"

The government stopped documenting child deaths in 1920 at these "schools" because the death rates were so high. They documented 3,200 child deaths by 1920 but experts estimate the number increased up to 25,000 by the time last residential school closed in 1996.

Could you imagine what it would be like to have the police take your child away to an institution then to never hear from them again?

I'm so sad for the children and parents who had to endure this.

I hope he don't try to fly, or take a train, or cross a frontier in a few years, or things could escalate really fast. Some people wouldn't need much more excuses to shoot first and ask later.

I wonder if the local sheriff could give him a small signed note explaining the problem to be shown to other policemen just in case. To assure at least that the local police in this place is aware of the situation (maybe ask them directly for advice?) could avoid future troubles.

What's the argument for keeping tax returns secret?
This is a major cultural difference between US and EU. In the U.S., data is only Personal if it's on a Personal device.
> Debating wether tax returns should or should not be public is a great debate to have, I agree. The country should be having that debate. And if we decide tax returns should be made public, it should happen in the future so everyone is on the same page.

The same way the Snowden leaks were instrumental into regulation about surveillance, leaks like this are instrumental in crafting better tax policy, so I would say they are a public good. It's also not-quite possible to do it via completely legal means (as vested interest opposition is too big and has too much capital - the only way to battle against them seems to be to do it via not-so-legal means).

So in this case the fight is punching up against people in positions of power, not down onto people that have no power, so I don't see a direct issue with it. If you have power, you should also have the proportionate responsibility.

This is correct. You can declare the types of objects (DECLARE TYPE) which has repercussions on size and allocation, you can declare the type of optimizations you want to do (DECLARE OPTIMIZE) be them speed space or safety, and you can declare things to be stack allocated (DECLARE DYNAMIC-EXTENT), avoiding GC of a particular object altogether.

> [...] number of improvements for novel workloads by [...] (e.g. encryption-at-rest, signature validation) [...]

Sure, but that's not helping the general case. Only specific types of workloads. You could argue that adding lots of special-purpose hardware doesn't hurt from a transistor count (we have plenty) or power perspective (turn them off when not needed), but it can make layout tricky and reduce clock speed (which slows down everything else).

> [...] cache invalidation and internal bus contention [...] NUMA

Sure, but the context from spamizbad was specifically single-core performance. (I probably opened up a can of worms by mentioning hypertheading). The problem is many real-world workloads that add business value are not embarrassingly parallel problems. If it worked like that, Thinking Machines would have swept the court since the 1980's (they had NUMA like you are describing).

The point is that, since about 2005-2010ish, single-thread performance has mostly stalled. Intel CPUs can issue slightly more instructions per clock. AMD has a slightly better branch predictor. But performance growth has mostly been the result of adding more cores (Except Apple's M1 has some magic).

The things I previously mentioned gave big IPC gains on a diverse set of real workloads. Some innovations, like pipelining and multi-issue were responsible for 2x-4x IPC each. Pipelining, in particular, was a trick that also helped clock speeds.

All those innovations happened between the late 1980's and early 2000's. So an observer during that time might have just assumed that similar innovations would keep coming. But they haven't. A Pentium III has probably around 15x IPC compared to an i386 (maybe 60x if you include SIMD), in addition to a 40x higher clock speed (some of which came from adding more transistors).

How can you add transistors (say 2x or 3x) to a CPU to double performance on diverse, real-world problems that don't parallelize well? My point is, I don't think anyone knows, so it is irrelevant whether there is a physical limit to transistor shrinkage. We don't even know what to do with the transistors we have, so who cares if we can't have more?

If you have knowledge that people want to inject money into your startup (and thus raising the value), then stuffing shares into a Roth IRA before a raise (that you know will happen) would surely be skirting the idea of fair-market value.
Yes, I do get that your system caches the authoritative servers, but as I said above there are times where the connection is "weird" and some DNS revolvers are better-equipped to solve them. Some authoritative DNS administrators wrongly used (for example) MaxMind GeoIP (don't do this, use ASes to differentiate connections when it comes to DNS steering) to steer their DNS requests, and it ends up that the user is getting a suboptimal server.

Here's a real-life example I encountered: Wikimedia (which operates Wikipedia et al.) has historically routed Japanese connections to Singapore, where they're geographically close, but due to how the internet backbone in the area works (it goes via Hong Kong, where switching time adds up to the latency) it made more sense to route them to WM's Los Angeles servers (and some ISPs have done this before WM has formally rerouted it to Los Angeles).

Or even a more frustrating one: I have routed SingTel users to Hong Kong despite also operating a server to Singapore because their routing is so bonkers that SingTel will route the connection to America and back just so they can access a server that they can physically go by using the metro (yes, I have contacted their NOC. No, they haven't changed anything).

Will this break DNSSEC? Absolutely. Will ordinary users care? While I'll care about correctness, more users will care about the speed and quality of their connection rather than correctly routing to a suboptimal server.
