Are there any specific legal requirements for companies regarding the demographics of their workforce? That would help explain why companies are so eager to spearhead those changes.
Espionage laws are void (per the first amendment), and hence not relevant to legitimate court cases (regardless of how much existing practice fails to respect that). One could perhaps argue that he incited Manning to violate employment-related nondiclosure agreements, but in addition to being iffy on the face of it, AFAIK no has actually made such a argument separately from the anti-free-press-laws argument.
Disabling your AV is never a good starter for 10 and is often proffered as the canonical fix for a problem. I shudder to think how many people have been debagged and radished (I'll take your cromulent and raise you really odd) as a result of following "sage" advice.

I read the logs and set exclusions until the damn thing works. I have briefly disabled the whole AV/firewall/browser plugin thing sometimes to double check but that is quite rare. When I smile my teeth make a "ping" sound and briefly flash white.
I dunno probably because they can have you fired if you disagree with them, and worse since they often know each other across different companies cause problems for you getting jobs in the future too
But Signal isn't just a chat app, it's an app with a very strong focus on security, and you can't have backward compatibility with security. Otherwise you end up with some servers still implementing SSLv3 years after its due date, or GPG with settings that make it insecure by default. You must force everyone in the ecosystem to use the latest version of the API, but even that is not enough: if there's an issue with the client (the issue in the article could happen with a third party) you must find a way to force it to upgrade; if they dont want to it's better to block them, but at this point if you need to choose where to best spend your resources you might as well block everyone else.

Opening the service to other clients widens the potential surface area of attacks. It must be considered with a lot of care.
This is because doing it as images let you actually properly control the layout, unlike HTML and CSS.
I think it was because people freaked out on public transit. In fact, there is a run on getting licensed to drive (have multiple co-workers trying to book appointments; they used to rely on public transit but realized it was suboptimal during covid). I recall it was very expensive to buy a bicycle in my city this time last year (those had a dual purpose - exercise/outdoors + transit).
I can't help but think of this hilarious NY Times weddings announcement about a couple of "influencers" who met on Clubhouse: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/23/style/natasha-grano-micha....

Yes, it's the Times Wedding announcements, which are always sort of like this, but it's hard for me to see this as anything other than an indicator that Clubhouse is a niche app for...influencers...who influence...other influencers? I guess?

Or perhaps I'm just old.

The food of the future is going to be 25% Teflon, 30% mealworm, 30% lab-grown meat concentrate, and 15% assorted insects as real food is regulated out of existence for us proles.

At least we can take solace in watching our betters jet around the world to dine on real food on TV or whatever social network is in vogue at the time.
In giro they have radio communications from the team manager. In the Olympics they don't have that, they can't tell them the differences.

Also winning when the opponents are not really trying to catch you it's not really a story either. It happens a lot even when they know a rider is upfront in order to save energy for second place and not give a free ride to other cyclists -see how Carapaz won in men events where only Wout tried to catch him.
The real story is the mistake from the dutch team that could have catch her but missinterpreted the situation.

Does anyone else not feel full if you eat a large volume of low carb food?

I'm the CEO of a two-men company (for now), and we're both software engineers:

- Always used: Javascript/Typescript, GraphQL, Kubernetes, Tekton
- Often used: Go/Python, Hasura & PostgreSQL
- Rarely used: Elixir (we're planning to move our code-base to it, but that's not a priority)

For a R&D job, I would require:

- intensive experience with at least one language, ideally one we use
- some experience with a database, ideally PostgreSQL
- optionally some experience with Docker
- know how to use the shell and the terminal

IMHO, languages are just different syntax for the same patterns, and a good dev should be able to apply them in any language. There is a learning curve of course, but if you're a senior Java developer, I believe you will not have a hard time learning Typescript/Python or Go.

I'm interested in how people think, debug, and solve problems, not in the amount of line of code they're able to write. In fact, I'd rather recruit someone able to remove code instead of adding more.
I feel that it actually understand what I'm doing. Is very wicked how sometimes copilot nails a line or an entire block totally in my context and writing style.

Scary stuff.
I replied in another comment, but letting third parties connect widens the surface area of the potential attacks. If that bug happened in a third party, from a security pov you must block them from accessing the service, at which point you need to decide if you want to police every single possible client or focus on one and make it widespread.
> Hardware VT-d virtualization is much more secure. Also the GUI is more user-friendly.

What's the security difference?

AFAIK all modern VM hosts use everything available, Intel VT-x, EPT, VT-d, VT-c, AMD RVI, whatever. Virtual Box ain't an exception.
> PTFE is fully oxidized (well, fluorinated).

Can't the C-C bond by oxidized? Teflon will burn if heated enough in a high oxygen atmosphere. From my understanding that's what happened to Apollo 13.

(I'm not implying this will happen in a human gut :)
I don't know about efficiency but the pressure is much higher, making the system much more expensive.

I have a similar desk and I was going on a similar path before I noticed the company that made the desk’s motor has a BLE adaptor for 15$ which solved my problem completely.

I have know a lot of homelessness.

In 99.99% of the cases, they weren't homeless by choice, or ideology.

But yes--most of them thought they were there by choice.

It must be some ego defense mechanism?

For some reason a disproportionate amount were former Programmers? I knew Jim Fox. He was a cocreator of Wordstar, but got zero credit. I watched him slip from employment to wearing a Penguin outfit playing a ukleee begging for change. We used to talk tech, and he would notice someone walking towards us. He would jump out, and do his dance. He was always positive. He once got a job. He went to Goodwill to buy a suit. (He thought he needed a suit for a startup.) He was fired a few days in. That whole cultural fit. He always used to tell me, I just hope I don't die of pneumonia in an alley. Well he didn't get his wish. He died homeless.

There is a saying amoung homeless, and it's this, "Homeless for a year, homeless for life."

Meaning the mind is gone after living like they do. I have watched our local police departments make there guys life more miserable for 30 years.

I'm glad you weren't an entrenched homeless person.

The homeless we have need help. Most are not their by choice if you get them to let their guard down.

I do have some hope in CA. The government might actually do something besides jaw boning about what needs to be done.

Besides long term shelter, I hear talk of safe places to park, and sleep, without getting a ticket, or worse?

Homeless in Dunphy Park, got tickets for not obeying a rule. The ticket was $500. The issuing officer told the IJ, fee is high because we know they won't ever pay it.

I just threw up my hands.

How is issuing a ticket that can eventually turn into a warrant helping out anyone?

I done. I'm starting to get angry. Homelessness has always been a sore spot for myself.
I was looking at the market charts (NASDAQ) and was floored. How can people look at such a massive increase during a global pandemic and say this is normal growth? I mostly missed out on this entire expansion (we were saving to buy a house; had to keep the downpayment liquid as our housing market is stupid and requires people to go through a dozen bidding wars before you actually succeed).

To be fair, it's a number of useful innovations that have taken decades of research, and would not have otherwise been done without property rights grants some sort of pay-out at the end. And many of the ideas would require a dramatic overhaul of how compilers generate and optimize code, and so they couldn't just be co-opted by existing processor families without breaking compatibility.
Where I'm from, phones were always decoupled from carriers. The carrier sells you a SIM card, that's it. It's on you to buy or already have a compatible phone to stick it into. I don't think any of the big carriers ever offered financing as part of the contract the way US ones do. Also we only have prepaid plans.

It's a shame still that you can't have a 100% open-source phone. I'm the kind of person who believes that all of the humanity's knowledge must be freely accessible to everyone. Including schematics and documentation for every device ever made, including ICs. It's counterproductive when multiple companies have to reinvent the same thing... and then keep it secret like the others.
There's plenty of new land in America and most countries. It's unused because it's far away from where people currently want to be, but that could change depending on what society and industry needs. Maybe remote work will somehow really last and push people out of cities so they can buy an otherwise empty section of wasteland.

Even within cities, it can be creates by zoning changes. My city recently relaxed density rules, effectively creating new land out of nothing in an instant. Developers are now building on that "new" land.

Cries of 'censorship! Stop censoring my right to this pro-disease opinion!' combined with more furtive but heavyhanded censoring of shall we say alternate motivations for the 'censored' opinions that must be, yea must be heard in the free marketplace of ideas.

It's not magic. It's dead simple on Reddit and places like that: brigade things with downvotes. On twitter, some voices get such a height of harassment that it's pretty much impossible to continue. Apparently on Hacker News, content gets watched very closely so it can be stifled at birth in natural-looking ways, since raw brigading would likely be too obvious.

I don't think people are saying they have any expectation of privacy (regarding PII) from the government under those circumstances.

I think people are saying they shouldn't be forced to expose themselves to a private, for-profit organization without, at least, some very strong legal safeguards.
Those shiny pickup trucks are short term before the repo man shows up.
Interesting counterpoint .. you are right .. why would I lend you a dollar if I expect it to be worth a lot less in the future. Any data to go with this assertion? In Canada, average mortgages are just for 5 years - this is very different than the US. I suspect banks are taking very little risk in such a scheme. In the US, I believe banks sell mortgages off/get insurance via govt. schemes.
Product marketing is an essential role for centralizing outbound go-to-market strategy, not only in terms of positioning for the outside world but also in terms of keeping sellers, marketers, and execs aligned.

I suspect these particular areas in which you feel they are at deadweight may be missing much of their focus or you've experienced an organization that is misusing this role.
I disagree. City life is full of stress. Want to go to a nursery to pick up some plants in Oakland, CA? It will take ya 2.5 hours, not to mention finding parking on the street and then dealing with 'asshole' customer service - there is no incentive to improve because hey they have a lot of people buying plants and if you don't like it, go somewhere else.

This is just a small slice of what's wrong with city life from today's errands I had to run. Traffic, population density, constant fear of crime and someone breaking into your car, everything just takes longer and the noise itself takes the joy out of life.

My parents live in rural California and it is the most beautiful, impossibly gorgeous place with a sense of tranquility in the air. Life moves slowly and at a nice pace. Everyone is nice to one another. And this isn't some rich neighborhood.
Using incrementing ids as your source of ownership is just asking for trouble. This just means a programming error can have a high probability of ids lining up and leaking resources. Guids make this practically impossible.
Powerpoint. I have contempt for Word, like Excel for editing tables (if it doesn't matter if it gets math right)

But with Powerpoint I can take "boxes and lines" diagrams right out of my head and onto the screen. It's also pretty good for making print graphics on odd-sized cards, say a 5x7 card that is used to make a "holder" for a punched card decoder, or a 8.5x14 poster about recyclable vs. not-recyclable plastics.

Even if you haven't had any contact with the police, they can still put you on the list if they suspect you committed a crime. The manual they follow[0] uses a point-based system, and "suspicions of an offense" counts for half the points of actually committing the offense:

> • Half of the applicable point values are awarded for suspicions of an offense listed in 1-4.

I’m loving this train of thought Keith.

What are your thoughts on program correctness and runaway cost. I’m a little uncomfortable running a workload that could scale unexpectedly to a denial of wallet.

For this research, how did you enforce bounds on your workload to prevent exceeding your funding budget? Is the whole compute graph calculated locally? The recursive workloads seem particularly anxiety inducing.

Author here. This was definitely something I struggled with when creating this simulation. Reasonably fast simulations of tectonics and erosion have already been done before: some parts were tricky to translate to the constraints of a shader, but the parallelism pays off in being able to run the simulation at interactive speeds. The difficult part was the global climate model. I spent a while researching existing methods, but as you say, many of these are computationally expensive scientific simulations.

In the end I just downloaded some data for the Earth and went about seeing how well I could replicate climate maps with some simple curve fitting in a Jupyter notebook. After some trial and error, I was surprised to find that you could actually approximate things quite well with sine curves and some blurring, as described in the article.

Overall I learnt a lot about Earth systems from this project, it was a fun hobby for a few months. I have some ideas for taking it further, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, or want to discuss any ideas you have about it.
Site guidelines imply a modicum of good faith.

I am used to some political actors exploiting demands for good faith as a cloak. I am not saying you are a political actor, but I am saying you are using a known set of techniques real aggressively and it fits my mental model for a type of bad actor.

The damage has been already done, when "push came to shove", the 'MSM & buddies' were covering for the exposed governments(might aswell call them 'globalists' since we're talking about 4 continents or more) and the people swallowed it down pretty effortlessly.

Despite appearances, the world is very, very different from ~10 years ago, and I'm personally sure it's for worse.I doubt people will get the courage and guts to make some noise and raise their voices, there are systems that can be tyrannical as they are "useful" for whatever minuscule concern the citizens have disguised as public/nation safety.

"The nicer flute arrived the next day. “I'm sitting at the harbour. And some guy is sort of dressed like me, I guess casual, has this three-foot-long bamboo flute and a cup of coffee, and he is walking. And I say, ‘Can I have a sip of your coffee?’ ‘Is that a flute?’ ‘Can I try it?’” The man gave Johnston permission for both requests—and then he gave Johnston the flute.

Stuff like that “happens constantly,” he tells me."

The line between product management and product marketing is definitely a gray zone and really depends on the organization, but rather than saying product managers are more focused in the architecture I think a fundamental difference is that they tend to be working much more closely with the engineers via a constant back-and-forth developing a shared understanding of what's possible, trade-offs, roadmap planning etc. Pricing is another one that in some organizations is product management led and in others product marketing.

I'm not up on my signal protocol but using PGP, sending encrypted messages to the wrong person would result in them getting an encrypted message they can not decipher.

Focusing in just authors may make this fall into the Simpson's Paradox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox), if you look at the bigger set the clear trend may vanish.

Even if authors are part of the population and living (some of) the influences that the general population have, there are a whole ecosystem and pressures that should be taken into account, including changes in the editorial ecosystem with time.

There are other sets of public data that may or not track the general population, like social networks activity, blog posts and comments on different sites. But that is affected by changes in culture, population and external influences (including disinformation campaings), and the selection of sites may select also the kind of users that may add a bias to the results. I wonder what deviations would be seen at i.e. slashdot that should have around 25 years of comments, with all the previous objections that I already said.
