Erdoğan was recently busy throwing free tea to the crowds and random passers-by on the street to moralize them after people lost their houses to the fires. Dead serious.

Perhaps, but unlikely.

I can’t find how many people worked at Foxconn at the time, but right now it’s employing more than the population of any of the smallest eight US states. Wikipedia’s list of suicide rates by state is from a different year than the population, but it looks like those states are about 5 times the population-adjusted rate that Foxconn had.

Wikipedia also says that China’s national suicide rate is difficult to study due to political concerns, before saying the WHO says it was 9.7/100k in 2016. That would mean you should expect closer to 126 suicides per year (in Foxconn’s current workforce), rather than the 14 in 6 months that made the news.

Oh yes we had one of them. It was a leading vendor in security analysis. We pointed their product at itself and it kicked out a ton of CVEs and lead to a very embarrassing Zoom call for them :)
You are implying finance people are intelligent???
actually quality public-media is startig gaining traction on yt too, e.g. Deutsche Welle is releasing loads of interesting short background docs / reports regularly. Its entertaining and very informative, can highly recommend.
Please read the original comment I am replying to. It had nothing to do with finance industry and everything to do with small-scale household economy.
Have wages among their demographic kept pace with inflation?
financial system collapse? It hasnt collapsed once, at least in the last 1000 years, so why are some people so afraid? There is no reason to be.
What would you consider makes a nation “advanced”?
Precisely. Enterprise Architects can fail by being bad at their job, or they can fail in absentia.

This place is a heady mix of both.
So this is a "software defined satellite" used for communications -- here's some background reading[1] about why this is a big deal.

> ...an increasing number of legacy organizations and startups have unveiled software-defined satellites and software-defined networking solutions. All of these product and service announcements come with the same promise: to deliver speed, flexibility, and power for a fraction of the cost of legacy hardware-defined spacecraft.

> “With the cost of launching satellites going down via reusable rockets, you need manufacturing costs to go down via mass production of generic satellites,” explains NSR analyst Carlos Placido. “As in terrestrial networks, hardware is becoming software in space as well."

> In a recent white paper, NSR noted the shift from traditionally CapEx-heavy investments of satellite ground infrastructure to an optimized OpEx-driven virtualized network environment that is flexible and open.

> “When you shift customization capabilities to software, you have the ability to reconfigure generic satellites, which is a huge cost advantage over having a satellite that is rather statically configured for many years," says Placido.

> but reserves my right to file a patent.

The Unlicense also does not include a patent grant, so is no different than CC0 here, and as the FSF says, CC0 is generally recommended over it.

It doesn't really reserve your right to file a patent (because that's basically gone once you publish something in most cases), but it doesn't imply a license to patents you do hold when publishing.
I only mentioned that essay because I think the fundamental vision of it is still correct — in serial computations silicone beats “meat” hands down. And that is in both power efficiency and performance.

The fundamental difference between our current approach and biological brains is just as much a hardware one as it is theoretical. CPUs and GPUs are simply not best fit for this sort of usage — a “core” of them is way too powerful for what a single neuron can do (even with the more correct belief that they are not as dumb as we first thought), even if they can calculate multiple ones simultaneously. I’m not sure of specifics but couldn’t we print a pre-trained NN to a circuit that could match/beat a simple biological neural network in both speed and power efficiency? Cells are inefficient.
The fact that the FBI still has buildings named after J Edgar Hoover says all you need to know about their institutional values.
American West was very good for raising enormous herds of cattle. Cowboys are literally boys who take care of cows.
I find it particularly true when I work with americans. this is because technical careers pay six digits in the USA. a sizeable part of the people that ended up in the technical field without really the right background or career just think they can do it because they got a degree from something "technical" that is not CS or even are so sure of themselves that they think they can do it even if they don't know how to. basically using salesmen training and candoit into the technical world. In europe that would never happen because people consider technical positions and knowledge below management skills and the crooks would end up into the mgmt positions because it pays better to be a PM than a tech guy. it is changing but slowly.

Computationally we don't understand what dyslexia is. Neuroplasticity is happening all the time. Perhaps at one point something changes and he has the ability to aquire the writing form of a language agian.

Similiar to in mathematics where it's a very different process reasoning with symbols v.s. trying to visualize the mathematical construct through communication. Maybe it's difficult to aquire the writing form of graph theory when you are 19. But when you try to do that again at 25 suddenly you can read all of Paul Erdos' papers less daunthingly.
So long as our government refuses to materially oppose the CCP regime in any way, this will continue to be the correct move for corporations. Generate some bad press in the West, maybe be targeted with a half hearted slacktivist hashtag "boycott" that will be forgotten in a week, and in return for kissing the ring maintain access to a market of over a billion other consumers. It's a no-brainer.
Why US Is Failing with Its Hypersonic Program While Russia and China Zoom Ahead?
Hey, as I understand you are from the UK.. indeed gambling has been a big business there for many decades, it's not even being taxed over there! And CFDs & spread betting fall into that category.

And I do agree that RH somewhat gamified options trading turning it into gambling. But my view is that options trading should not be like that. People should have appropriate tools so they can clearly understand their risks and use options for hedging and profit boosting.

And speaking of the UK most ppl are still completely unfamiliar with options trading and the benefits of it.. many label it as just another way to gamble, which is a shame..
> It’s a drug — if you take too much too often, it can absolutely create a dependence.

This also shows how poor the school system was it they did not uncover his illiteracy earlier. In France at least there was such an amount of loud reading at school that it would be hard to hide.

I ready the article with a strong dislike for the guy since I knew he was a teacher. I was pissed off for the pupils.

But it was not that bad, he was a teacher of PE where beside a limited technical knowledge (at the level he was in) the important part are social skills. So maybe it was for the better after all.

> 1840-1925 (which certainly could not be described as a period of stagnation)

There were plenty of "periods of stagnation" in that time interval, though.

In general, stable money income flows promote economic resiliency far more than stable prices do. This means a rising price level (inflation) when the economy is hit by real-world constraints such as war or disasters, and stable or even falling prices when there is a lot of real growth. Pegging the value of the US dollar to gold led to an economic disaster in the late 1920s as the Banque of France was hoarding a lot of gold in a futile attempt to re-establish "sound" money after WWI. Widespread devaluation in the 1930s made it possible to stabilize nominal income flows again, which had beneficial effects even though it came with some mild price rises.
You have a point

Cook is not a product leader cut from the same cloth as Steve (I mean... few are). His talent was always for supply side management. This is really significant. To secure components and manufacturing capacity for Apple's scale is no mean feat.

I would say 2 significant things have happened on Cook's watch though:

1. The Apple Watch. This certainly hasn't had the impact the iPhone had. It was also launched as a luxury product (remember the ex-Burberry CEO who drove this? The $10,000 Apple Watch edition?). It later got rebranded as a health product and there I think it has potential. The latest version can do ECGs and determine blood oxygen. IMHO there's a massive future market in passive health monitoring.

It's still a somewhat awkward user experience however in a way that never would've happened on Steve's watch. Apple's reputation for polished user experience as a whole is degrading and we may eventually get to the point of Bill Gates's legendary rant [1].

Steve also pushed back against Johnny Ives' hardline pure vision and I doubt the butterfly keyboard fiasco would've happened under Steve.

The second innovation is on the silicon front. There are two prongs to this:

1. Replacing Intel with ARM (M1); and

2. Breaking Qualcomm's "monopoly" on wireless broadband chipsets. This is still ongoing.

Apple still has a lot of inertia from Steve even after all these years. Who knows how long that will last.

Using an Open Source OS helps with malware hidden into drivers or the related installed junk, but unfortunately most network printers phone home, officially to download updates, as soon as they detect a network connection, and there's no way to know or control what they'll do with that connection, short of putting them behind a dedicated firewall.
We have approached the era in which all networked devices should be considered as potentially harmful and dealt appropriately. From TVs to household appliances, home automation systems etc, everything could be used to grab personal information. Hiding a mic or a micro camera into a printer, or any other device, as of today is cheap and trivial. We should consider an untrusted separated network path for all these devices in the home network, so that they can't access our files and their connection attempts would be actively monitored and controlled.

None of this seems related to OCaml performance?

Why are you okay with giving her the benefit of the doubt for something she was entirely wrong - a luxury which she doesn't even afford to others when she wants people to be banned from all social media?

There is no "most of the FDA approval process" gold standard as she claimed. None of the vaccines have gone through that and they are being used under the EUA. It's 100% factually wrong. And if her political opponent has said something similar, they would get crucified for it.

"Gold-backed currency is fiat, with government setting gold-money exchange rate."

If you talk to anyone in NSW, their lockdowns have been mockdowns. Nobody wearing masks, jewelry shops open because for some reason they are "essential" workers... no wonder their lockdown isn't working.

Compare that to Victoria. Last year, you would be stopped by police if you went out onto the road, and be fined without an essential working permit.
I don't think you've read your own comment...
It's not actually simple at all. You need a massive station to actually spin in such a way that humans don't get dizzy just by crouching (you need the acceleration to be almost constant for the ~1.5m difference between a person lying down and a person standing up). You also require lots of fuel to actually maintain this constant acceleration. The larger everything is, the more problems you have with shielding and energy expenditure. Any malfunction of the spinning mechanism is likely to be catastrophic, as suddenly losing 'gravity' is can easily cause massive damage if people are living without care for this constant possibility.

Not to mention, this would not feel like living on Earth - there are many effects of spinning that do not approximate gravity well, such as the fact that forces acting on you depend on the direction of your movement relative to the direction of spin.
Until 2013, Blizzard was at least partially shielded from Kotick by specific terms in the corporate bylaws that gave the board (read: Vivendi, which had a controlling interest) power over Kotick on such things as the Blizzard budget, firing of Blizzard executives, and go/no-go decisions on Blizzard games.

All that went away when Kotick engineered the buyout of Vivendi's shares. This also led to considerable corporate debt, which Activision-Blizzard has been servicing and paying down since.

It is an interesting psychological thing, online, no one is inhibited, your for yourself in your thoughts in a cozy place, so its easy to speak unfiltered.

What I found astonishing is starting playing VR ping pong against other players. Suddenly, youre no longer alone in a place, you see gestures of hand and head movement and know the other person sees yours. There is a sudden feel of presence, and the behaviour shifts. Everyone is friendly (even muted players make friendly gestures) and one can have good conversations. Really interesting and pleasant experience, which I can highly recommend, especially for the home office.

It is not such Protests are banned in general. It is just that on a specific weekend multiple protest (on an protest by protest basis) were banned in the capital.

"Judges in the German capital have moved to ban a number of weekend demonstrations amid fears they will lead to a rise in coronavirus infections."

The upper court said the Querdenker movement was characterized throughout Germany "by the fact that the participants used them to violate legal norms created to contain the risk of infection in a way that attracted public attention, in particular by disregarding the social distance requirement and the mask requirement." a pattern or behaviour that is also present today see picture www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/nach-verbot-fuer-corona-demos-in-berlin-hunderte-querdenker-blockieren-strassenkreuzung-in-westend/27471282.html

Does reddit filter news about rape in other countries? Because there is plenty to take from just by looking in the crime section in local Danish news. This might be one of the more bizarre biases of reddit.

In the future, we might have some crypto based web of trust that prevents this.

Every page will be signed by a key and our browser will show the popularity and karma of that key.

The popularity and karma of a key will probably be readable on a blockchain, similar to the account balance of a Bitcoin address.

If one was to download a popular software and then sees the website is not signed by a popular key, they would double check if they are on the right site.

Karma will probably be a customized value. Counting the opinions of my friends over the opinions of my friends friends etc.

This is the first action in this mess that improved my trust in github. To date, they've felt spineless.

If this is a permanent thing, neutral, honest, and used without prejudice, you can count my trust restored.

Funding legal aid seems like the exact right solution. It's ethically the right way to handle it. It takes github out of the role of being judge, jury, and executioner, which is not a good place to be, either ethically or businesswise. github shouldn't be making moral calls, where people will differ. github also has very bounded liability -- cost of a lawyer -- rather than massive damages.

I'll wait to see if github folds when a non-PC case comes up, or one with genuinely bad actors. Ideally, they ought to structure this so they can't fold -- they have something in their ToS which makes this nondiscriminatory -- so no one gets annoyed.

Everyone deserves a lawyer in a situation like this. Even the bad guys.

And you don't actually know who the bad guys are before due process.
