Probably they have direct experience of it?

Google has a variety of mechanisms that can be used to effectively get rid of people without them understanding why. For instance they allow anyone to give feedback on anyone else during promo cases which can sink promotions or entire careers, and which isn't merely anonymous but completely confidential. That's been mentioned elsewhere on this thread. The result is that people can appear to be doing very well with glowing feedback, happy managers, successful projects and then their career suddenly goes off the rails without that person ever being told why, for no better reason than a single person didn't like them. This blog post gives off strong vibes of this sort of thing, given the vagueness about why he had to leave.

This problem interacts badly with another problem Google has: it started with a culture of extreme internal openness compared to most organizations. For example almost all internal mailing lists were open, almost all internal code was open to all engineers, people were encouraged to send feedback and resolve problems directly across teams instead of always going through management and so on. Hence the mono-repo so large they had to reimplement Perforce to keep it running.

In an environment where everyone is culturally very similar, has a lot of experience of the world outside of Google to keep them grounded, a clear and motivating goal and minimal politics, this can just about work. It worked OK for the first 6-7 years or so I was there. It ... stopped working. The combination of very open communication, an increasingly radicalized workforce (due to their heavy dependence post 2010 on recruiting new grads to keep the hiring pipelines full), and formal systems for secretly sinking people's careers = a lot of very messy problems in which loyal workers get screwed.

The vast majority never talk about it in public, at least not under their own name, but there are a lot of Evans out there.

Isn't it the search engine's job to wade through the trash and return the results that are useful?
You know, for what it's worth, I didn't mention social programs, or that the judicial system doesn't have its place.
The UK regulates and bans guns in ways that would be unacceptable even to US gun control advocates. (Actually, maybe especially amongst US gun control advocates. All the big, left-leaning pro-gun-control celebrities would lose their armed guards that they absolutely insist the restrictions shouldn't apply to - that's not a legitimate reason for owning or carrying a gun in the UK. US gun control activists think that regulating hand guns more strictly than rifles is absurd and wrong, whereas the UK completely banned handguns. Also, the UK issues gun licenses to people as young as 14, and this is a fundamental to our approach to guns: the idea is to treat guns as a tool that they can be allowed to use if they show they're responsible enough, rather than something glamorous and forbidden. All of this actually aligns surprisingly well with what pro-gun Americans think gun control supporters get wrong, from what I can tell.)
It's very useful to me. Cool!
The company can also incur expenses by investing into a tennis club or into a coastal area housing project ;-)
Not really. Once thing the lab leak theory would explain is that why the virus was so unexpectedly infective right from the start (adapted to human tissue e. g. via passage in humanized mice).

In that sense, I hope that it was a lab leak. It will be better for us humans.
In a good percentage of the world, drug traffickers are executed.

Crime problems are police problems literally eveywhere.

The mistake is conflating all crime with being a problem in need of a social solution.

I reckon reStructuredText is the best syntactic and semantic foundation of all the ones I’ve seen, but there are a few things it could do with changing. Most significantly, reStructuredText is designed for being written in a sane text editor, where indenting stuff is easy; but this doesn’t work well for use in a plain <textarea> as web applications of it will commonly go for, where any indentation must be applied manually by the writer. So I’d say it’d be good to get a new syntax construct for fenced, rather than indented, directives. For example, this is what reStructuredText has:

.. directive-name:: first-line-options
:subsequent-options: and their values
:and-more: if you want

Then the directive’s body.

And here’s a strawman fenced syntax:

```directive-name:: first-line-options
:subsequent-options: and their values
:and-more: if you want

Then the directive’s body.
```

Of course, once you’re touching something like that you’d want to touch more things to make it all consistent again, but it’d all be perfectly possible. (Would you use backtick? Dunno. I hear it’s hard to access on some keyboard layouts like German.)

As it stands, reStructuredText is based around having visually-pretty source: monospacedly-aligned tables, indentation for hierarchy, that sort of thing. (Headings feel like the only major thing that doesn’t use very significant whitespace.) I almost always like this, but there are definitely some situations when it’d be nice not to work that way.

Would you go all-in on fenced things rather than indented things? I dunno. Probably.
The NYPD’s budget was “cut” to levels from 2 years ago to pre pandemic levels.

The “cut” is also chimeric because the money to the NYPD was funneled through other avenues (for example, through the MTA, where Cuomo increased funding to the NYPD by getting the MTA to pay for NYPD presence in the subway funneling money to the NYPD without making it obvious at a time it wasn’t politically viable to increase police funding). That’s why headcount and the operational budget remained the same despite the “cut” and the fact that the NYPD officers received more overtime last year than probably every before.

And the NYPD continues to remain the highest funded police force both on an absolute and a per capita basis by a favor of at least 2.

Finally, next years budget already includes a further increase in the NYPD’s top line budget and neither of the possible remaining mayoral candidates (Adams or Garcia) have proposed reducing the budget.

The idea that decisions about the NYPD have contributed to the increase in violent crime (which once again is nationwide) is not borne out by the actual changes that have been made.
Somehow this does not register well with free speech enthusiasts. As much as twitter removes or labels one set of media, it also refuses to remove or label another set of media.

It is unfortunate that what is true and false has devolved into the hands of global corporates, whose interests and ideology is often different from the environment it operates in.
Couldn't they use deep learning to blur or even remove the graffiti from the TV live video? Is it because of being live TV?
Yeah, it seems so awesome. And using the Personnummer / BankID to allow all the registration online, etc.

Lightyears ahead of the rest of Europe.
I don't know if many people realize, but this is a pivotal moment for freedom of speech in India. The archaic IT act and National Security Act are already being severely abused to arrest journalists and activists, and the new 2021 rules take this to a completely new level. What they are essentially going for is unrestricted authority on content takedown and traceability of originator of content which will force companies to verify individuals. This will spell the end of anonymous access to social media heralding a new era of China-like levels of censorship.

Today, saying that cow dung does not cure covid, can land you in jail because it goes against the government's narrative. I can't even imagine of the things to come.

This project looks especially relevant because of recent news about Audacity adding telemetry to their project [1] and because of the the community's reaction and a fork [2].

Sorry, but LibreOffice remains a pale shadow of Microsoft Office. For personal use, I'd take it over Google Docs, but not Office. And Office is actually pretty inexpensive for a personal license.

Also, you might moan about cloud lock-in, but collaboratively editing documents in Office 365 is a vast improvement over emailing documents around and clumsy manual version management[0]. I would never go back.

[0] Incidentally, collaboration is the one advantage that GDocs used to have over Microsoft Office, but that's long since gone. Office is so much more capable than GDocs that I find it baffling that people still choose the latter. The only thing Google does better, at least in some ways, is email: becuase Gmail's search is better, and it doesn't bog down overall in the many ways that Outlook does. Teams, as much as it pisses me off on a daily basis (and it really does), is still far better and more reliable than Hangouts.
We have been in contact with a set of companies and academia members
that would like to use Rust as a second language in the kernel. Some
of them have already started to evaluate Rust for their needs using
the infrastructure we have already in place.

In particular, we have got a few statements from major companies.
In no particular order:

Microsoft's Linux Systems Group is interested in contributing to
getting Rust into Linux kernel. Hopefully we will be able to submit
select Hyper-V drivers written in Rust in the coming months.

Arm recognises the Rust value proposition and is actively working
with the Rust community to improve Rust for Arm based systems.
A good example is Arm’s RFC contribution to the Rust language which
made Linux on 64-bit Arm systems a Tier-1 Rust supported platform.
Rustaceans at Arm are excited about the Rust for Linux initiative
and look forward to assisting in this effort.

Google supports and contributes directly to the Rust for Linux
project. Our Android team is evaluating a new Binder implementation
and considering other drivers where Rust could be adopted.

In addition, IBM contributed the Rust kernel support for PowerPC
which was already included in the RFC.
Yes, copyright. You can't just drop some proprietary code into your code anymore than you can with GPL.

The raw data actually paints another picture entirely. As other posts here have hinted at, the incidence of gun violence in America is not evenly close to being evenly distributed geographically across the country. If you were to compare (legal) gun ownership and gun crime statistics between America's urban areas versus everywhere else you'd see the opposite picture emerge. It's not people in backwater towns with a shed full of guns responsible for America's gun crime problem. It's gang members in the large cities.
How low is remarkable, exactly? I can't really believe that.
If you mean libasciidoc for Go, it does not support all the AsciiDoc features [1]. The JS parser is transpiled [2] from the Ruby implementation (which is not a bad thing, it's just something most languages can't have).

My favourites are Rust and Haskell. Neither of them had a parcer until recently (even though the original implementation has been around for a few years now). Both are at early development stages at the moment.

> Programming is barely a white-collar job here vs. Law or Real Estate, etc.

Hmm, not sure where you are (Europe is a big place). In Ireland, programmers would, I think, earn more on average than lawyers, and certainly than estate agents.

> less car ownership

I wouldn't consider that to be inherently a quality of life issue. I don't own a car because I don't really have a use for one. If I did have a use for one, that would imply a long driving commute, which would likely make my quality of life worse.

> tiny kitchens without garbage disposal

Easily available, they cost about 200 euro. Though you risk the wrath of Dublin City Council by installing one here; they create undue load on wastewater treatment (I believe this is also the case in some US cities, actually). Never understood the appeal, tbh.

> American fridge-freezers

From about 500 euro in my local electrics shop. Again, never understood the appeal vs the conventional fridge-over-freezer designs, but they're there if you want them.

> dishwashers

From about 200 euro ditto. Wouldn't be without one.

Again, Europe's a big place.
The best example of the "wouldn't be allowed to be made today" is Tropic Thunder.
> In a good percentage of the world, drug traffickers are executed.

Care to back that up?
Sure but you worded it as universal condition, hence my remark.

If anything, just to raise awareness for others.

Even C++ alone is already an improvement, provided it isn't just C compiled with a C++ compiler, e.g. AUTOSAR.
To characterize appointment of a legal compliance officer as "staffing requirements" is wrong. It makes it seem like India is forcing Twitter to hire local people.

If you are a global MNC with multi billion dollar valuation, and want to operate in a market that has a billion potential users, it is only fair that the company has a local presence.

Ooh, good question.

Well GCN Racing is probably a good place[1].

Then I think someone else in the thread has mentioned the Velon highlights[2].

There's actually a set of Tour de France video games which are surprisingly OK. You could search for videos of people playing those as they often explain they're tactics.

They're not a complex as a real Grand Tour race but still quite good fun.

I actually find that rest day highlights shows are also really good for rounding up everything that's been going on too.

Of course there's 100s of books on the subject too.

>All the passwords it created could be bruteforced in seconds

Can somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but to bruteforce a password attackers need offline access to the stored passwords data and I'm assuming it mustn't be stored in a proper encrypted way

why should the onus be on the end client/ user to use 'crazy' lenght and complex passwords(I'm excluding stupidily simple passwords such as 123456 etc..)

surely a well design vault/ safe for the passwords and a restricted client logon system would stop all/ most attackers
Hilariously, both Aaron Sorkin and Tarantino worked on The Rock, although they are not credited.
Anyone feel like we get a "Linux Rust support" post every month lately?

Feels a bit like the "new more efficient battery technology" recurring post.

edit: to precise it's not that I'm not supportive of the effort, just that it would be nice to just have a post when it's actually merged. The title is a bit deceptive
Interesting to compare "build an environment and process so we can use simple robots in it" to the Boston Dynamics - "build robots that can work in complex environments".

Also interesting to see the robot arm being used to move the products that currently come in boxes (suitable for humans to unpack) if robots become the norm will we see them being distributed like electronic components on reels/tape that are easier to unpack mechanically

Kiwi Farms killed one of our own. Cloudflare is protecting them
In the 90's when I first started using the WWW, it was mainly used by academics, techies and geeks - and it was glorious. People used to create web pages just for the hell of it, not for financial benefits.

Projects like IPFS might regain that thing we lost.
Yo Mouli you have zero understanding of how google works dude.

You do not sign T&C with your newspapers do you?

It is extremely sinister that you think a govt has any business curating & culling criticism of its policies or fallacies. That's literally a civil liberty which most politicians in India are rarely aware of unless taught a lesson by the courts.
> There is nothing sinister just the laws kicking in.

I’m not sure I understand how the fact that something is enshrined in law means it’s not sinister. In fact, the fact that anti democratic or government strengthening actions are enshrined in law makes it more worrisome rather than less.
Emt is a hard and thankless job with super low pay. It's really a shame
Deep learning/AI isn’t the solution to everything. It’s probably a lot cheaper and more reliable to pay a couple of guys to turn knobs into butterflies for 3 weeks than mess about trying to get a computers to do it effectively.
Considering the violent crime rate is twice that of the US, I prefer the status quo and freedom.
Isn't it a little bit early?

I have distinct feeling this would benefit from waiting a little bit more to have various kinks straightened out.

Sorry, but LibreOffice remains a pale shadow of Microsoft Office.

While I tend to agree, the premise here is mainly 'is a poster child' and not 'is at least as good or better than alternatives'. Just looking at LibreOffice without comparing it, it is quite impressive what it can do. And even when comparing it, in a way it is still fairly impressive if you look at the resource thrown at it vs MS Office.

Pretty much the same goes for Audacity actually: go back 2 decades (well, a bit less) and compare it with the closed-source alternatives which existed back then and for anything but the simplest features it just wasn't usable. But it's steadily getting better and overall: indeed fairly impressive even though it is probably still quite behind professional packages.
I will be very grateful, if I get some help regarding this site from you.

Professional athletes often train 30 hours a week. They cycle between easy and hard training days.

If they would workout hard every day their performance would stall or even plummet.Nutrition and sleep is also very important for them . I don't understand why the lessons from pro sports are not taken into account also for work. In both cases it is about performance after all.
Watch only 30 minutes of the movie (possibly even only 20 minutes). If it didn’t grip all of you, pick another one. Discuss why the first 30 minutes sucked and why it didn’t (concept good, pacing bad, concept terrible, acting good, etc).

Don’t waste time. A lot of movies suck.
The game sounds a great way of learning, thanks.
People are not entitled to games created by free work. So it is not a 'net' loss.
Bitwarden has the best UI/UX of any password manager I have used, by far. In particular it puts LastPass (which I switched from) to shame.

I rarely use the premium features, but I pay for premium anyway to support the project. Costs a dollar a month, so barely noticeable.
Why should they comply with traceability law? Signal/whatsapp are also not compliant. Very weird seeing people supporting these draconian regulations.
It's a demanding (through somehow rewarding I guess) job, but I like the fact that this is done by those guys and not a faceless algorithm.

You can at least talk to them while they "rectify" your drawings. And an AI would not have the same artistic merit :) !
I feel the supply of managed pimped out jupyter lab instances is plenty right now. What is really not clear is the path from there on to pipelining and workflow building with other components in a distributed/cloud architecture. There are also a lot of open source options like KubeFlow, prefect, ludwig etc. all of which have their problems and quirks, as well as the managed offerings like SageMaker.
But if they are within India they would be vulnerable to Indian law enforcement.
That's not how it works. With PFOF, the market maker (e.g. Citadel) takes the other side of the trade with Robinhood's retail client, instead of that retail order being sent to the actual market.
Unfortunately, it acts as both in many instances.

User profiling and data mining, coupled with corporate interest to keep users on the site as long as possible, leads to slow but firm biasing. Search results are not objective, but subjective based on the user history and profile.

On the flip end, it is not a news site, but a massive distributor of news items. So it does act as a newspaper, because people consume large amounts of news from it.

Is it a news site, yes. Does it have mechanisms of editorial policy or checks and balances? Not that I can see.

Is it a search engine. Yes. Is it unbiased as a search engine, no.
There's a reason our legal systems are composed of millions of pages of laws. It's because everyone tries to use/abuse everyone else, to a degree.
> ideas of quality and correctness are important

Quality and correctness are important! And AAVE does have and enforce both. If you answered a question like "where be the car?" with "it be on the road" or "it's on the road" when in fact it be in the garage, you would be grammatically incorrect. I bet you have no idea what habitual be even is or how it works. (I didn't)

And it all begs the question, why, in the US, is Standard American English (which is overwhelmingly native to white people, and usually the ones with the most privileged positions in society at that) more quality and correct than any other variety? Is there something magical about their speech that makes it quality and correct? Keep in mind English itself is a hodgepodge of butchered other languages.

Is Australian English not quality and correct?

How come grammatically standard English, just spoken with an African American accent, is still not quality and correct?
Ok, good. Upgraded from impossible to impractical. Progress! In two more days, you'll think it was your idea.

What else am I wrong about?
