This is quite a bit of misinformation. From the article:

> The account has also shown a preference for cultural conservatives in its “likes”, which these include ... Roger Scruton, a man known for making a career out of his prejudice; and Leon Krier, a disciple of Hitler’s chief architect Albert Speer.

Roger Scruton was knighted for his contributions to public education [0] and helped establish an underground academic network in Soviet-occupied Europe. He was also one of the best contributors to the New Statesman which I suppose is now cancelling him?

Leon Krier was in no way a disciple of Albert Speer. Speer's only mentioned in the footnotes of Krier's Wikipedia article [1] because Krier wrote a book about Speer where he asked, “Can a war criminal be a great artist?” [2]

It seems that the problem to this writer is conservatism as a whole, and of course these accounts are conservative! The whole point of the Twitter accounts is pro-conservation!

> This person that I worked for always resented that I made about the same income without a degree.

How do you know this was the reason, or even that they resented you at all?
If all your money is parked in one bank account, you're probably too busy figuring out how to buy groceries or pay bills, and don't time for a daytrip to an attorney's office or courthouse.
Only if you assume that the only valuable thing in your communications is the content, which is simply not true. Metadata, who is speaking to whom and when, is incredibly valuable as a surveillance tool.
I really miss Ruston LA for this. Small town, but a lot on campus and enough within walking distance. Pretty safe. Pretty campus for Louisiana and it's actually walkable unlike LSU, which is an absolute nightmare.
I'm not in the EU, but I'd exit any jurisdiction that implements this.
The interview only touches on efficiency in the following context:

> One example was by installing cubicles that made everyone lonely and didn’t improve any efficiency. ... Of course, now we see offices moving in the other direction, also without consulting workers about what they want and what enables them to actually work efficiently.

And that's it. That's at best a mild claim that talking with workers about what might make them more efficient ... might lead to more efficiency. Shocking, that.

It's surely not a major point of the professor's claims.

What is the "this way" you refer to in "this way ... That's how the rules of an organization get established." It seems you mean a small, flat organization where everyone gets a say in everything. But Anderson says:

> It doesn’t mean that workers are going to control everything. There is a role for expertise and managerial competence.

> If you look at worker-owned firms, they have a hierarchy of offices. The managers exist. Only there’s an accountability mechanism, so they can’t go overboard and turn their authority into raw power that’s used to abuse their underlings.

So when you write "this way", are you objecting to this sort of accountability mechanism at a larger scale? Or something else?

Concerning victimhood, I doubt your view is that people told to work 8 hour shifts without toilet breaks (“Well if you have to pee, you have to wear diapers or nappies.”), or spending unpaid personal time waiting for required bag searches, shouldn't see themselves as victims, right?

I think you mean that most Americans shouldn't consider themselves as victims, even though clearly some employers require their employees to follow illegal practices.

(Yes, they can quit. Quoting Anderson: "Well, what are the alternatives, really, for the vast majority of workers? Yes, you can join the very precarious gig economy and barely eke out a living. But for the vast majority of people that’s not a realistic option. They could barely survive.")

For example, when you write "If you're an American, you actually have a pretty good life.", I think you mean that in a general sense, and not true of every American.

In which case, we can still strive for a better life for more people, right?
I bet that people who subscribe to the mobility mindset are statistically more mobile than those who don't believe it's possible.
Credit Unions don't take out splashy ads all over the place though (maybe they should).

I agree with your point. Credit Unions are pretty safe and tend to be rooted in the community in which they operate in.
This is what stress and deadlines do. Hurrying always feels worse than dying.
I'm a self-taught coder, and I'll never forget years ago someone with an MIT degree turning to me with a look of mild indignation and saying "how do you know this stuff?"
Seems like acting with that intent with this power is an easy way to accelerate the EU’s own dissolution.

The Warsaw Pact, the Cold War, the Iron Curtain across Europe and the Berlin Wall, as well as the communist surveillance States that still-living Europeans lived within and remember well enough was not that long ago.
it can if you don't compile the source yourself, a la the app store
That's not how this works in practice
I couldn't find anything else either: When I do a shallow google search for "EU mass surveillance", I find articles referring to a loophole in AI rules for mass surveillance and some articles stating that mass surveillance can only be for national security - and the most recent is in April.

If I understand correctly, that post describes a proposal to add "owned refs" to Nim, not an actual language feature, and that proposal was abandoned / postponed in favor of the refcounting approach I linked to: see https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/144 and https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/177 .

But shared/immutable vs. unique/mutable references aren't the same thing, they're something more interesting. Rust has three types of ways you might be able to get at a variable: you could own the variable, you could have a shared/immutable reference to it, or you could have a unique/mutable reference to it. The Nim proposal only distinguishes the ownership case (responsible from freeing the data when it's done - basically RAII or __attribute__((cleanup)) or autorelease) from the unowned case.

Having shared/immutable references gives you a neat feature for achieving correctness, not just memory safety (and I strongly disagree that the idea of "memory safety" in that post really counts, incidentally, because by that definition Heartbleed wasn't a memory-safety bug, but for the sake of argument let's say it does). The compiler prevents you from having more than one mutable reference at a time. It also prevents you from writing data you own while someone holds a reference to it, or even reading data while someone holds a mutable reference. So if you're writing code where you pass a reference to some other routine, and that function ends up holding onto it for future use, you won't be able to modify it. That prevents logical bugs where code doesn't realize that data has changed or conversely doesn't realize that a change hasn't taken effect.

Again, this is not solely about memory safety. This is about easily writing correct code, of which memory safety is one aspect.

You can think of this as basically type-level reader/writer locks. At any given time you can have multiple readers and no writer, or exactly one writer. While runtime memory safety is one thing that reader/writer locks can do (e.g., preventing you from calling realloc() while other people still have a pointer that they intend to read), they're used for a lot more than that.

Furthermore, Rust's approach requires no runtime overhead and preserves correct behavior. Nim's approach requires refcounting, and the post argues that refcounting could be disabled in a release build if you're confident your code is correct.

Portland's seemingly endless supply of white, elitist anarchists would like a word with you.
I had an fraudulent account opened in Chime with my name/info (about a year ago). I contacted support when I received some weird marketing email for this service I never signed up for. I tried to talk to their support as it was obviously fraudulent and they wanted me to send in License/Docs proving my identity. Didn't trust them with a photo copy of my license since they were obviously terrible and just froze my credit.

Got the email today that the account was finally closed. Stay as far away from this company as you can.
I kind of have an issue that when faced with a steep rise in educated people who find that there is no room for them in the old structures and thus are frustrated, we blame and "overproduction" of educated people and not the old structures. Even the naming tries to force that framing.

Apply this to the time when most people couldn't read and you were a dangerous radical if you taught workers, blacks and women how to read because they would "no longer be content with their place in life". I think most people on this site would agree that keeping people uneducated just so they don't start realizing how unfair their lot is would be morally wrong and that the correct option is right the unfairness...right?

LOL, by some reason this phrase causes search engines to reduce ad hitlerum
Fixing potholes properly so that they stay fixed requires some specialized equipment. It's not the kind of stuff that everyone can keep in the corner of their garage. I certainly don't want random neighbors doing it because they'll end up making the situation worse for everyone.
and I guess that using GPG will instantly flag you as suspect :-(
This is clearly satire guys. Stop responding earnestly.
Maybe we need to bump the definition of "elite" so that so many self-aggrandizing academics don't self-select into it. The problem is not an overproduction of elites but one of consumers and followers. The world needs more builders.
My comment is precisely that the people who are actually responsible for your problems are shielded from repercussions by either minimum wage support reps or automated phone systems.
Sure, but consider the marketing. Opening an account at a credit union requires:

- Knowing the credit union exists and which ones someone can join (not all of them are "anyone in [region]")

- Going to the credit union during business hours (no mean feat; several of the credit unions around me have shorter hours on Friday and three hours on Saturday)

- Qualifying for an account, and not just membership. Lots of credit unions pull Chexsystems--credit reports for checking accounts--and a report from the traditional Big Three and having poor credit will be a bar to an account (something that the ProPublica article points out as a reason people use Chime).

Those steps even presuppose that you find a credit union that, itself, isn't abusive. I was a member of one that was outright terrible and had miserable fees, but I had to stick with them for a year longer than needed because of a bankruptcy. There's nothing endemic to a credit union that requires it to be a "nice" entity, just that their structure makes it more probable.

And it all comes down to how many of us on this site are financially savvy or at least have a better understanding of the pros/cons of how banks and credit unions and "fintech apps" work. The people being targeted by the marketing for Chime are less likely to have that same set of information, and are winding up abused as a result.
To pay your own education is one part of the equation, to be successful is still on you.
In my ideal world this clause would be struck down as illegal, but not only that, the company would be fined for even trying to put that in the contract. Furthermore, the lawyers involved would receive formal warnings that they will be disbarred if they keep it up.
humans require ~60-100 watts, 24/7.

A human only works about 8hrs a day. Also our food is much less efficient to produce than electricity.

So if this robot is less than ~600 watts average, and as productive as a human, it’s a win.

Id imagine it’s well under 600.
hopefully that. Because I shudder to think that some doctor is going to take Google's results at face value. It's the Gell-Mann Amnesia. Every once in awhile I see one of those Google instant answer boxes on a search that I know is total BS. But then I go and pretend like the next dozen searches I do are perfectly reasonable results.
I'm partial to blaming the lizard people as, being lizard people, they don't have feelings.
Yes, Switzerland, one of the (already) most corrupt places...
While true, an adversarial government can pass new laws to restrict access or installation of software it deems dangerous. Politicians, uh, find a way.
As it's an axis I'd be interested to know if there are any studies looking at effects in the other direction, can our brain modulate the presence of the gut bacteria in some way, it would seem that for a beneficial symbiosis communications may run both ways?
Sadly I believe this is legit. Here's a better* source https://www.politico.eu/article/european-parliament-platform...

Are there any primary sources for this? I'm having trouble finding anything talking about any final legislative action involving chat control/ePrivacy etc. that isn't this random pirate party blog.
How is it satire? Wikipedia[0] says that Patrick Breyer is a real MEP and this is his official blog.

Sounds like the US when you mention parallel construction but since the laws are way way worse than this one in the states I'm guessing it is somewhere else?

The rendering story was over 15 years ago, CryEngine is pretty much an abandoned engine, I only know 2 games using a variant of it which are StarCitizen and the new game from Amazon ( both using Lumberyard ).
Just to clarify a point for discussion: this is already the law in the USA, and always has been [0]. European privacy law formerly prohibited private entities from reading personal communications, and handing them over warrantlessly to governments (as I understand it (?)); but this was never a thing in the US.

This reads like a hoax. Do we have other sources on it?
The EU already has unprecedented control over commerce. Notice how they chopped up the UK during Brexit.

EU adopting this measure means the enforcement will likely be corrupt and impossible to enforce standards.
An important consideration is that those doctors could have been something else.

If you buy into the notion that intelligence follows a normal distribution, and that people below some threshold are fundamentally locked out of professions, then it becomes important how society allocates that top x% of intelligent people, because they are in short supply.

A society that underproduces physicists in favor of doctors might find their economy is unable to grow rapidly enough to pay for the hospitals those doctors need to operate in. One that overproduces amazing musicians might find that their cultural influence helps to attract smart people from other countries.

We see this issue in America too. Where hedge funds are paying extremely intelligent people tens of millions of dollars annually to program computers that essentially play games in the stock market with the programs written by other hedge funds. That isn't exactly the kind of behavior that will lead to the technological improvements our society will need to continue to grow.
Quite the reverse. We are committing supporting the community and contributing to the software. With over 25 partners, I'm not sure how you could see it as "giving up".
Ok, so don’t live in a small town. Not every conceivable urban plan will work for everyone.
Is there an Anglo-American colonial style in Texas outside maybe Galveston? Genuinely interested and would love to visit any remnants we still have.

Empresarios and land grants seem to have led to different settlement patterns at the start for the Anglos than the rigid early Spanish or hilariously insular hill country Germans.

“Spanish colonists came organized once the missions and presidios were already built, Anglos posted up stick houses by themselves on land they ostensibly owned and tried not to get slaughtered by comanche” is the vibe I usually get.
Except trends dont account for humanity and general shit hitting the fan. We are living in the safest times ever. Even the world wars aren't enough to topple off the last 100 years are the safest in human history, on average. We are due for a massive war or two really soon if we are relying on trends. Covid is a small, kinky lovetap on the ass when it comes to pandemics of the past. Most countries haven't seen a famine in like 2 or 3 generations. What we saw the last 1.5 years wasn't famine, just hoarding mixed with logistical failures.

Intersaller is probably more on the mark. Blight striking nearly every staple food is the real horror in the night. Cavendish bananas are under massive threat of a fungal disease wiping them out, forever. The same thing can happen at anytime to other overproduced mono-crops.

But then let's take humanity at it's current state. If everyone believes working with their hands is beneath them, are we really going to reach automation peak? Ignoring the scifi fantasy of skynet ai, you really think there wont be exploitation? The one thing humans are brilliant at, it's exploiting a system. You have to pacify a human to stop them from min-maxing. It's what we do. We are already seeing the adverse affects of too many systems online. Ransomware is not a problem, it's a goddamn well oiled industry. The future luddite wont just break a loom or two. They can stop fuel for tens of millions of people. Turn off cooling/heating to homes. And if wireless bots run farms... well, I dont think you need a good imagination to figure out what will happen there.
Plenty of successful software, including the currently most popular game engines, are designed with strict OOP principles. That doesn't mean there aren't well-documented flaws with it as behavioral complexity increases.

I'll wager that if O3DE sees an actual release with real documentation, it will herald a new generation of ambitiously-scoped games that actually realize their ambitions instead of crumbling under OOP-induced technical debt.
You do have to wonder about the long term stability of a nominal democracy where 72% of citizens oppose digital monitoring, while 77% of their representatives vote for laws they emphatically do not want.

Put more bluntly, is this even a democracy in anything other than the trappings?
Ah, good then, I didn't know that, thanks for the cite. I haven't studied the CUB code on it carefully.
The core difference in the comparisons is that one treats the issue as a natural force that simply exists in the world and acts upon society externally. The other treats the issue as human aspect of society that acts from within.

Someone accused of "hacking" (Ransomware, spam, stolen credit cards, etc) may be brought to court to explain themselves, bring in (or implicate) their clients, present evidence, be judged, etc. That is the best process we have for dealing with crime and is why comparing hacking to germs is sidestepping an important part of the discussion.

Edit: To answer your actual question, I would say a more apt comparison would be to basic breaking & entering robbery. In the physical world it doesn't make sense for every building to have 2ft thick concrete walls, blast doors, iron bars, and complex locks that can defeat the most advanced techniques for breaking & entering because most robbers will not have access to those techniques and the ones that do will either be interested in other targets or deterred by the systems in place that prevent them from bringing these techniques to bear against some random gas station cash register. The problem, as I see it, described with this analogy is that the robbers (or "hackers" here) are empowered to be much less discriminating regarding their targets. To stay within this analogy, on a technical level the tools one would use for stealing from a bank vault are used just as easily to steal from a gas station cash register.
Would be nice if there was an easy way to sort columns instead of the seemingly random list. Or did I miss something?
FIRST Robotics had a brief stint encouraging teams to use the Kinects for something on the robot, or just test them out and see what you come up with.

I remember reading through the documentation and case studies and realizing just how advanced the tech was / is.

Yeah, but how much of that boring stuff requires the full matter of what the EU has become? That’s why I could see a rump sticking around or getting folded into some other institutions, if full dissolution never quite happens.
Would Switzerland need to comply with this regulation? Thinking of e.g. ProtonMail for their EU customers.

Light firearms are probably easier to manufacture than pellet rifles. You're kidding yourself if you think they won't start making them.
To be precise, the article says that apps like Signal are to be the target of a follow-up regulation scheduled for coming September. It also emphasizes citizens' strong opposition to this prospect.

Fingers crossed, but is it enough? What can we do to prevent this sh*tload?
