I must be misunderstanding I'm afraid. From my perspective, it's incredibly unsurprising that a company as large as Google and run the way Google is would let a top engineer leave due to administrative issues

It's OK to not like David Lynch's work, it isn't for everyone, what with the "doing surrealism in a highly literal medium" and the logic of nightmares used.

To state that Lynch is "obviously awful movies ... had no clue .. disaster ... incapable" as an objective truth is just a category error.

it's like saying that a Mondrian is an obviously awful painting because it's not a good landscape composition, or that Jackson Pollock has no clue, because he paints trees in an unrealistic colour.
>Driving safely requires good judgement and that is an unreasonable expectation.
Not at all. I don't feel entitled to anything.

Here's where I think the misunderstanding is, and maybe I should have made this point in my original comment: I do think there can absolutely be cases where a dual license of GPL / commercial can make a ton of sense. I think those cases tend to be for projects like Linux, Blender, etc.

But what I'm saying I personally think is a bummer is that for years, most open source projects - down to even small but useful libraries - were put under GPL simply because it was "the thing to do".

Like Carmack says, in my mind that is a net negative, since these libraries then were not able to be used by projects which were under other licenses, due to their copy-left viral nature.
gem catches this by default and warns you. Pip doesn't, but it would probably be good if it did and the pip guys explicitly took the position that "installing stuff on your system python is not a normal use of it".

I think that was somewhat intentional, but my take: "Dataome" = technology as an environment/medium.

We live in a world full of microbes and can't function without them. (microbiome)

We live in a world full of technologies and can't function without them. (dataome)

To entertain the thought, technology is in similar status as living things, it reproduces and evolves and affects everything around.

It's very simple, on every insert/update/delete the node that receives the command calls all the other nodes async. and waits until they have made the call before it makes it and then responds.

The id's are secure random longs, so collisions are rare.

It never said he changed lanes without checking for traffic. And the police put the blame squarely on the Tesla driver.
Male contraceptives are here, they're just on the cusp of being approved for widespread use...

but as equality minded as I am, I'm not sure I would pick up on it. They're basically designed to shut you down just like anabolic steroids do, but without the anabolic effect. All the negatives, none of the fun. I'd rather just take anabolic steroids at that point.

To be clear, I've never supported any partner of mine to be on the pill either, and I wouldn't take it if I was a woman.

> a truck in front of them slowed

Doesn't sound like "forced to change lanes" to me.
Thanks for posting the original thread !
Good idea !

Maybe that expectation should change, and so should the laws.

... Though there's quite a bit of _should_ on the docket already, and waiting to get to the docket, and in countries that aren't "here" but which constitutes often untold suffering and loss.

Maybe thinking bigger would work here. The UN should have a minimum charter of rights for all; and violating that should lead first to a diplomatic notice and deadline for resolution, and then automatic forced war by all member nations against the party in the wrong if those minimum rights are not correctly provided.
I stopped reading the news since a few years, mainly because of the low signal/noise ratio and because it's time-consuming.

I assure you, you still hear about the big events without issue. Just your usual day-to-day is more than enough to hear about the important news very quickly. There's no way you could have missed 9/11 or the Covid lockdowns. I mean, I don't care a bit about soccer and I still heard within hours when my country was eliminated from the Euro.

And whenever something particular sounds like it deserves your attention you can go read about it on whatever news website. But that's fairly rare.
It's a complicated and interesting debate. In places where we have universal healthcare we want to simultaneously provide coverage for everyone and allow the maximum freedom possible, but these goals are somewhat conflicting. We still think universal healthcare is of paramount importance for the well being of the group, so it takes the priority. This means reckless behavior can be frowned upon, smoking discouraged and seat belts enforced.

From my european pov I've always felt universal healthcare would never work in the US due to this focus on individual freedom over almost anything else.

MPVL also left Google (Zurich) last month after being nearly 18 years at Google.
Google is notoriously stupid about remote work. While bunch of people did it under the rag or by special arrangements, default policy was “no”. They run infamous “defrags” by trying consolidating projects in fewer location in process fucking up teams, products and making people leave.

Anyway, here probably HR got a sniff of employee relocating, and while they emailed back-and-forth arguing, it pissed him enough that he decided to bug out. Or maybe some manager used this as opportunity to skillfully kick him out presenting it on the outside as “error”.

If you have ever flown an airplane with autopilot you would realize you are completely wrong.
How was he forced to change lanes when traffic in front of you slows down? The correct reaction is hitting the brakes yourself and switch to another line only if it is clear, but that was not the case here.

As the Tesla was going with constant speed, the person switching the lane must not have checked for it.
I really wish he’d explained, because I can’t figure out how that could happen and not be trivial to fix. I have no idea what goes on in Google, but I worked at Microsoft HQ for many years. Sure, it’s overwhelmingly gargantuan in many ways, but if I got ‘accidentally fired’ the most likely thing is my manager would find out about it and fix it before I even found out. In the event that it fell on me to act, I could stroll down the hall to my manager, my skip level, or the general manager. And if the GM didn’t want me gone, somebody above them (and that does not include HR) would have to positively want me gone, or it wouldn’t happen.

Perhaps this person actually wanted to leave, and so decided it was like a sign that it was a good time to go.

> The video saved by the car [the Tesla] Mr. Yalung was driving shows it passing vehicles on the right and left. Four seconds before impact, Mr. Maldonado turned on his blinker. It flashed four times while his Explorer was in its original lane. A fifth flash came as his truck was straddling the lanes. In court documents, Mr. Maldonado said he had noticed the Tesla approaching rapidly in his rearview mirror and tried to swerve back.
> The people I worked with at Google back then weren’t necessarily there for high six figure salaries. We were there to work with other people like us.

I wonder how much this used to apply to the Valley as a whole.
Decide Customer Research Method to Acquire Unique Customer Insight
OP alludes to it coinciding with leaving California. And since OP's leaving California post is in February, while indicating he left Google last month, it's possible it was some sort of remote-work snafu.
You could run say, a short warm up jog if 800m, a couple of warm up sprints of 200m, and then a few sprints at MAX effort. 60s break after each run. About 2km total. Your legs and lungs will be severely taxed. If they aren’t, you ran too slow.

You can easily take a 5km run and increase the effectiveness: go faster.

Fitness runners always fixate on distance. No speed, power or agility training.

>An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)

Which is why Linux is used in zero commercial projects.
> and then not grant the freedoms we GPL-folk care about to actual "users" is unacceptable: it simply isn't why we are writing open source software, as the open source part is supposed to be able to benefit "users".

Why is it unacceptable? Why are people writing open source software then? "Benefiting users" can be done in various ways.

In my view, the GPL only manages to protest and protect software against the problems of intellectual property, copyright and capitalism. It's only about politics.

I agree with the sentiment, but that's really all it does, it doesn't solve legal problems. I'm curious to see which software licensed under BSD or similar suffered problems where the GPL would have protected them against.

> I see a lot of value in not pointlessly reinventing the wheel. GPL encourages/enforces people who fix things to give those changes back to upstream where they may benefit everyone.

One can argue GPL encourages reinventing the wheel by not being permissive enough.
Nope, confirmed. Dubs were done by ZDF and they did that with Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movies. Also the Persuaders (die Zwei).

Now I finally understand why they are always raving about those crappy old westerns on a German image board I often visit.
I work at at a large corporation, and that is one balance that I am also constantly fighting and never seem to get it right. Having to provide a "Business justification"/OKRs for every technical feature has been soul draining experience, and while I can still make progress in making the product and drive the business forward, I have a hard time justifying spending the time in the little details that I would consider what makes a product really great.

I feel like the cycle turned one of making power point presentations of how the product has all the required features, but the overarching story and experience does not feel quite right. And I have been looking for advice on how to convey the importance to polish up the product.
I'd rather have worse search than search driven based on the global memetic consciousness. PageRank was good enough. the perverse incentives of dual marketplace advertising is too rife for abuse

I like it!

I find that editing has some things that to me are more intuitive than my own DAW of choice (Logic Pro X).

The routing is also more powerful than lots of pricy DAWs, which lets you create some interesting effects. It's powerful but also easy to use (honestly, it's easier than some popular DAWs, purely because you don't have to fight the software to route).
This are different things. The Mandelbrot set iterates z <- z² + c usually with z initialized to zero and c varying across the complex plane with each value corresponding to a pixel in the image. But you can also vary the initial value of z and then the standard Mandelbrot set is a two dimensional slice through a four dimensional generalized Mandelbrot set. You can add another degree of freedom by varying the exponent. The Hausdorff dimension on the other hand characterizes the fractal structure itself, not the number of degrees of freedom the fractal is defined over.
This is even a problem (for many people surprisingly) at L6: you have your specialization, and very few directors will agree to get L6 with unmatching specialization. But there could be only so many Android projects, or iPhone projects, or ML at any given site. So if you try to change teams, you quickly learn that there are just couple potential positions for you.
> In my opinion, this is yet another case of people being lulled into a false sense of security that the car drives itself, when in reality the Tesla's driver should have been attentive and should have reacted.

In every similar story I always fail to imagine how the driver can possibly stay in a state of "active attention" 100% of the time, while also not doing anything active. That's not how much of the human race works.

At this point it's a lot easier to just actively drive, instead of having to make a sudden split-second decision while being dulled by the inaction.
I feel like non full-autonomous driving just doesn't make sense at all.

They're really simple to talk to. I think the control channel is just a 1200 baud modem.

SMS messages were originally intended as a way to send error messages (number out of service, etc.) to AMPS phones. Since they went over the control channel, they had to be very limited in length so as not to hog the shared control channel.
All this is needed for becoming a better what?
Cordless phones were pretty common during that era, and they were just as trivial to listen into. Teenage me had a hard time looking the neighbors in the eyes afterwards though...
The issue is that you follow people, not topics. And a person usually has several interests.
You could alternatively go to the owner of the copyright for the software and pay for a license to use it in proprietary software. This is commonly done (see Qt).

As a public servant the op’s post basically describes my past year as well. People with no long term view on an institution completely misread a situation and refused to do any investigation into what was actually going on.

If that is the argument, does it matter whether it is Apple or Google who is holding the physical data? Apple and Google are both based in the US and beholden to the US government, so from the government's perspective it's just a change of address when they send out a warrant.
