Yes and no. In my opinion...

If it's "focuses on content for <minority group>", that's great. Minorities tend to underrepresented and trying to address that balance by creating more for them is all bonus.

If it's "excludes all but <minority group>", I am not a fan; I thin it causes resentment. The ability to have a group that allows <minority> but not <majority>, but not have a group that allows <majority> but not <minority>, is _wrong_ in my mind. Admittedly, having a group that allows both but focuses on <minority> so that <majority> is unlikely to be interested in joining is reasonable.

I guess the act of specifically excluding/disallowing a group, unless it's acceptable for _all_ groups to do the same, inherently conveys "you are the worse of the two groups". It's insulting and an attack.
I wonder if the nuance being identified by the other commenters might be the tragedy of the commons that can play out in collaborative settings. I'm right there with you, btw. Mine is also a non-sexy, non-commercial app and I'm happily a one man band. But a younger me, a junior member of a team, under pressure without close supervision would probably commit a certain amount of half baked spaghetti and be part of the governance problem.

Some people look for any excuse to be outraged. But I think people are more curious than outraged. I don't have any opinion about the existence this company but it did make me think. For example:

> When I grew up in the 90s, it seemed like black people had a relatively high number of TV shows to choose from like "Martin", "Living Single," and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". It felt good. I felt represented. Unfortunately, it turns out the 90s were an aberration

I also grew up watching shows like these, and being a white person watching a black family didn't feel strange or incongruous at all.

Something I've already wondered is, what if that aspect of the 90s wasn't an aberration, but a feature from a time when there were fewer channels and diversity was concentrated in the fewer places everyone watched, due to how content was structured?

And is it unfortunate that relegating "black" content to its own service gives it a "niche" status that it doesn't deserve? Am I missing out on good content because signing up for any new streaming service is a high bar and something I don't do?

Will the bigger streaming services drop the content offered by this one, so that the largest audiences lose the opportunity to see this content?

Was having fewer channels actually in a way anti-monoculture?
Netflix is already Netflix for black people.
Why is CP punished more harshly than CA [1]? Is it because it is easier to do so, or is it because it gives an illusion of protecting children?

This, of course, ignores how a lot of child abusers are underage themselves and know the victim,[2] and that the prosecutors are committing the same crime as the prosecuted in the case of CP, and that, in too many cases, the content in question is impossible to call malicious if it is seen in context.[3]

First off, there's not enough land for the world's population to live like that. If everyone tried to do that, there'd actually be more stress because people would be fighting over their precious extra acre.

>Everyone here seems so insanely focused on carbon emissions

Given climate change and what drives it, is it any wonder? Creating some disasters in the future so we can have less stress now isn't a very good tradeoff.

"As a young person, I probably will never be able to own a house."

I hear you there. I was you, some years ago. I graduated in 2008 _just_ as the economy completely fell off a cliff and it SUCKED. I only managed to buy a house 10 years later by looking at very nontraditional properties. I wound up with a cottage on a few acres of land for €68,000. There's bargains to be had if you're OK with something outside the norm.

I had a look at your page at https://charted.space/ - if I may say so, you seem to have a lot of skills that could fetch a good salary - you might wind up able to buy a home (if that's your goal) after all.
User story: It's 3AM. Your home confirmed with you yesterday that you want to wake up early for a flight whose confirmation it found in your email. The lights are gradually brightened and blue-shifted through till 4AM. While that's happening, at 3:50AM your coffee maker is preheated. An audio alarm gets you up at 4AM, and motion-activated baseboard lights guide you to the kitchen as you stumble around in your groggy state. A glow emanates from the cupboard door hiding your favorite mug. After your coffee is done, as you're rushing out the door you realize you can't find your keys -- panicking for a moment you ask your home where it last saw you carrying them, and it tells you they're on your bedside table. You head out the door and catch your flight.

Everything mentioned above is pretty straightforward to rig together with off-the-shelf hardware and software, even if a little time consuming.
Or a Netflix for Gypsys. I've always found it amazing how many Europeans will berate Americans for their discrimination and then turn around and talk about how to best get rid of Gypsys that show up.
My netflix feed at least has been pretty full of shows and movies that feature black stories and characters. I think they have a specific channel for this. So have the other streaming networks from what I've seen.

I'm a huge fan of other cultures and think they need to be celebrated because they make all of our lives richer..but I wish there would be less animosity towards white people.

'White culture' creates all of the countries that people from every other country are fleeing to, or trying to immigrate to.

White people created Democracy, Checks and Balances, overwhelming amount of the technology that makes our lives great, much of the major medical breakthroughs...and so much more.

White culture, of science and planning and Democracy, is GREAT.

Let's remember to celebrate it as well.
Not OP, but yeah the market has clearly changed. Everything we consume today and media in general has been fractured, organized into subcategories, and is now delivered by algorithms.

I my opinion the problem isn't that there is no demand for black-focused media, its that its just become another subcategory of Netflix. And because it may not be as popular on Netflix it doesn't get as much production. Look at what Netflix is producing these days - its mostly lowest common denominator algorithm driven garbage.
No, GP is responding to the 'multiway switching' link in the top-level comment.

This is about where, in the UK and I'm sure most developed jurisdictions, stairs for example must have a both on and off control at both ends - regardless of the state of the other switch.

If they were simply in parallel as you describe, you could find yourself in the situation of going upstairs to turn it 'off up there', (because it'd need to be 'off everywhere' to be off) then realising it was already 'off downstairs' and falling back down.

If they were simply in series, you could find yourself unable to turn the light on without first going downstairs at speed in the dark, because it's 'off there' no matter what you do upstairs.
The only thing that will make any difference is systemic change. It's fine to take shorter showers or turn off your PC, but a handful of companies are causing most of this. Coca-Cola should quit using plastics for instance. That would make a dent. It's not likely to happen.

The rich folks in power want us to feel like we are responsible for their mess. This has been going on for years. Turn off lights, recycle (lol), or do whatever... but feeling guilty or seeing it as actually making a difference doesn't effect a damn thing... unfortunately.
Both the US government and Chinese government can get whatever they want from both iCloud and IMessage. Best not to use it for anything that could make you a target of theirs.
Well, sometimes you can reduce scope to meet a deadline. It's often not advisable, but it's also sometimes necessary.
You are forgetting that if the alt-right movement is not itself a product of GamerGate, it got an enormous JATO boost from GamerGate. One of the darkest eras in recent American history -- the Trump administration -- happened in large part because some basement nerds were pissed that a woman wrote a God-damned video game.

Do not discount the effects of chan boards and Facebook groups so foolishly.
The v4 updated the screen which burned more power. I remember telling them my real life results and them proceeding to not update their product marketing page while admitting it was based on the v3. I feel like they were already stretching it to begin with with v3 but you would know.

I also got the fastest SSD they had in checkout. Which I think contributed to the booting race condition. I never got a link to an upstream ticket so I do not know if it is fixed.

When I emailed them they said they do not have a laptop in that configuration to test, haha.
Yes, I'm somehow¹ more aware of these things than most Americans. It's mostly a typographical problem. The lettering choice on the sign tends to make it easy to see an n as an m. Other restaurants offering Hunan cuisine don't seem to elicit the same reaction anywhere near as much (or maybe it's just Hunan Taste's location at a well-trafficked intersection).

1. My brain is full of all sorts of random knowledge with no good explanation for how it got there, like names of Chinese provinces or how to conjugate French verbs.
You’re essentially saying that black people need to erase their cultural identity and assimilate into the dominant culture and shut up and watch tv shows about white people like the rest of us and be happy about it. Black people live a different experience than other groups, and maybe they want different shows that resonate with them. BET has been successful for a long time and this service is BET for the internet.
Nah. This is no different than, say, CrunchyRoll or Viki.
So, you could probably call this a “dark crystal”

"And black creators often did not get the same chance at success that their mainstream counterparts did, leading to some black creators filing lawsuits against YouTube. Despite YouTube's good intentions, systemic biases in how non-black users treated black creators, as well as the economic realities of Black people only representing 10% of the U.S. audience, have led to YouTube never doing quite enough to address this."

Could you tell more about it? Not American here.
> You can't design it first and then go and build it.

You can't design it in full in one go, but you can design it and then incrementally update said design. Sadly many (companies) do not. But you can define the problem(s), the scope, the scale, and then design a solution appropriately to meet those needs (for a defined period of time). That's what distinguishes software engineering from hacking. They both have their place. Many companies claim to do the former but are mostly doing the latter. Software is still early in its life and as various kinds of system designs stabilize, so will the formalizations around what it means to be a software developer. Reading a book like Designing Data Intensive Application's you can't help but see those formalized topics budding.

Honeybees are never really "wild" in Ontario. They're a European / Asian species. I don't think they naturalize well here, nor should they, they're invasive if they do. I am sure there's the odd wild colony here and there, but I doubt they last long.

That said, there's honeybees all over my farm right now (Hamilton area) going crazy on my cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins and zucchinis. And they're not mine, I don't keep them, and I don't know of any neighbours here who do.

Earlier in the year it was bumblebees (oh they're so cute!) but right now just lots and lots of honeybees.
You say this like the Hallmark channel or Lifetime don't exist.
I was not aware that black people where not allowed on Netflix. But I'm happy for them they can have their own Netflix now too...
The easy way:

- connect wires behind light switch so bulb is always-on

- screw in smart bulb

- stick smart button on top of the hole of the old switch
But then you can call AAA and get fixed in under a hour. I would guess the number of truck drivers that know enough about their engine or transmission to fix a trivial issue is <10%. For Uber drivers I would be flabbergasted if it was over 1%.

I actually think this is a pretty good analogy. A truck driver does not need to know how to fix their truck to do their job. A web developer does not need to know how to bitshift. For mechanics or low level programmers it is a different story.
I'm under the impression that, in Javascript,

> async/await is syntactic sugar on top of the promises and provides a way to handle the asynchronous tasks in a synchronous manner.

as is stated on this website I just found with one second of googling to support my thesis: https://dmitripavlutin.com/javascript-async-await/

If that is true, I believe it's incredibly useful syntactic sugar.

Simple rule: if it is possible it will happen. If you want total security, go analog.

Strategically, apple showed its cards. But then again, that was bound to happen too ;-)
Alternative-halfprec format only applies for conversions (ie to/from single and double prec); data-processing operations on fp16 ignore the AHP bit and always assume IEEE format. If you convert a NaN from single/double into AHP you get a zero with the same sign as the input; if you convert an infinity you get the max/min representable number; in both cases the InvalidOp fp exception bit is set.

The upshot is that it's basically an in-memory storage format, and all the actual data-processing gets done at either single or double precision.

This letter assumes Apple is too stupid or has overlooked the risks of the tool they've built. I guarantee this isn't the case.

We have to assume given the pressure Apple has been under to build a surveillance tool like this that any "abuse cases" such as identifying outlawed LGBTQ content is in fact exactly what this tool was built for.

Apple have already proven their willingness to bend the knee to the CCP with actions such as App Store removals. I almost can't blame Apple for this because in all likelihood if Apple refuses to cooperate they will eventually lose market access. Couple this with the fact today Apple is seeing increasing pressure from western governments to surveil and censor "hate speech" and "misinformation" they've probably reluctantly accepted that sooner or later they will have no choice but to spy on their users.

What I'm trying to say is that Apple isn't the problem here. My guess is Apple's engineers are smart enough to know this technology can and likely will be abused. They're also probably not that interested in spying on their customers as a private company in the business of convincing people to buy their communication devices. Apple did this because governments have been demanding this. And in recent years these demands have not only been coming from the CCP and other authoritarian regimes, but also from governments in their primary markets in the West.

The only way we can fight this is by demanding our politicians respect our right to privacy and fight for technologies like e2e encryption on all of our devices.

I don't want to be overly negative, but realistically this isn't going to happen. Most people who use Apple's devices don't understand encryption or the risks content scanning technology present. And even if they did, no one is going to vote for a representative because of their stance on encryption technology. It seems almost inevitable that the luxury of private communication for all will eventually be a thing of the past.

I'm just glad I know how to secure my own devices.

I don't think there are any staff software engineers at those companies in the US earning in that range.

At the first 2 companies, that is slightly above the total comp for a new grad.
For Spotify and Twilio, some Senior Engineers may earn in that range, but unlikely that any staff do.
Netflix only hires senior(+) SWE, and is well known for making offers at the top of the market, which is well above $250k.

French people of African descent are not culturally the same as American Black people. Black culture is unique in that it was created artificially by kidnapping millions of people from the African content and stripping them of their cultures, family ties, and names, prompting those people to construct a new culture (while uniting them for another 100 years in the experience of apartheid and the civil rights movement). It's its own powerful, interesting thing.

But, of course, there are TV stations for all sorts of ethnicities all over the world, so the answer to your question is just "nobody would care except message board trolls".
Because that's called society.
If you make X for white people in the current context, it's basically Fox News.
Re ham radios on vacation - The Geek in me says it's because any new (to you/me) areas have different propagation properties. That and the 'fun' of trying to run portable equipment by tweaking it is like moths to a candle.

As for the underlying question of 'why when I am on holiday do I find it easier/more comfortable reaching out to others in the 'techno-sphere' versus interacting with fellow vacationers? I wouldn't presume to answer for you but for me it would be -

A) An innate shyness
B) Trouble de-coupling brain after 50 weeks on the corporate treadmill
C) A realization that I had little in common with fellow vacationers (you tend to see very few geeks slapping on the factor 50 and hanging out round the pool)

In short – I don’t know but you aren’t the only one (grin)
I used to be there on adaptability too, and thinking that (on a historical or geological timescale) this is just a bad spot we're going though before we get to more sustainable technologies.

And we WILL get to more sustainable technologies because we must, by the laws of physics - that which cannot be sustained, will not be sustained.

My much more open questions now are whether we will get there in time. Humans really suck at understanding systems, and responding in appropriate timescales - especially when the effects involve exponential growth/decay or tipping-point phenomena. Add to that entrenched commercial and political interests who actively poison the well, and we could be doomed.

As a small example, just look at what the Republicans did over COVID - literally spoke out against scientifically based vaccines and countermeasures as a political ploy to make the other side fail - even though the risk, and now the fact, is that it will literally kill thousands of their own constituents, and even with record hospitalizations and deaths, the R FL gov is threatening school funding for any school that requires masks. Scale this up to decades of climate disinformation and anti-progress lobbying... Even Toyota is lobbying to slow progress because they bet on the wrong technology.

So many links in the ecological chain are being broken that it is looking ever more likely that several tipping points will be reached before we reach sustainable economies. Once a tipping point is reached, no amount of sustainability will reverse it -- we'd have to actively repair all the damage more rapidly than it can spread. Think permafrost melting and releasing gigatons of methane into the atmosphere ~22X more powerful a greenhouse gas vs CO2. It's already happening.

I'm not sure, but I'm no longer as optimistic as I was.
Thanks! Likewise. Truly a great sandbox for budding programmers.
I believe that 76.3% includes hispanics, and hispanics are considered a minority. When people talk about whites being the majority, my inclination is to assume they're talking about non-hispanic. That lowers the percentage to around 60% or so (I'm not sure on that number); still a majority, but not as much so.
> but you shouldn't have said it

Isn’t quite right. “You shouldn’t have said it like that”.

I totally agree that criticism is necessary, and that pandering doesn’t help people. Being constructive is just more productive. If the goal is to get the person to change what they’re doing, be constructive.

For example, “instead of repeating ‘package.json’, the labels should be semantic (e.g., < package name >)” would have been constructive.

The study has multiple parts. The part of the study I quoted is not specific to nitrogen dioxide, but a general conclusion about the combined effects of all of the properties of gas stoves. The study does not have enough information to conclude that the effect is entirely or even mostly caused by nitrogen dioxide in particular, or any other single cause. I did not claim that particulates are the cause. The point is that gas stove combustion products are harmful to children and probably everyone.

The assertion that C doesn't support fp16 is just plain wrong. _Float16 is defined in standards committee work. There's also the __fp16 storage-only type widely supported by compilers.

The main issue is many compilers have issues on x86 platforms due to Intel's bizarre slowness in defining how to pass fp16 parameters in their official ABI.

A great use of bitwise operators I came up with recently was to define a unique key with two sides(source and destination) in a single int. Just allocate one bit of the int to defining which side is represented and you have partitioned the space; everything after that is an exercise in masking and bit-flipping to determine matches.

Compare with the "sidecar a bool" approach that tends to come to mind to solve this task without bitwise operations; now you have to define a whole structure for it. It works, but it ain't elegant.
