The Italian Constitutional Court declared the law on “plagio” unconstitutional in 1981, as it found the law to be imprecise, resulting in a hard to measure definition of the crime of “plagio”, lacking coherence, and hence liable of arbitrary application by courts.

I have always wondered whether I was in the minority in caring a lot about these, as companies tend to talk about the "challenges" and "mission", and while I enjoy those, I also chose this field in part because I want a comfortable life.

Agreed. Not having enough space for awk would be daaaaamn small indeed.
The Colorado law to me strikes me as a pretty huge government overreach. I fully believe in minimum wage laws, and that feels like an appropriate regulation to me, but this just feels like it's almost attacking these companies, interfering with their hiring processes, and I fully see why companies would rather not bother hiring in what boils down to 1 mid-sized metro area than deal with the consequences.
Nobody is as blind as he who does not want to see.
Or it could be that some businesses are desperate for labor and others aren't.
I think you might have missed that I already stated that it's an irrational thing to complain about because units in nature are arbitrary, but given that no one uses these units for the topic at hand, why use them at all? Just for relatability?

> It may as well be in hectares or "multiples of some lake somewhere", it's a massive number.

We're saying the same thing but arguing for the opposite. Like I said, no one in a technical capacity uses these units seriously. So then if the number is so conceptually massively big and the units don't matter, why go through the extra forced effort of converting to imperial? Just use the units that the specifications come in and the numbers that the factories use?

The more you play with vast unit conversions like this, the more you risk losing information across sources/citations. What if I want to do my own research later on? It's more work if I'm searching for specific numbers on Google. We also know just how terrible Google Search results are getting nowadays, so...

> We all get it, Americans with their imperial units, ha ha.

I think this is an uncharitable interpretation of my comment. I'm not trying to make fun of Americans, I'm trying to understand what the extra efort is worth for?
Yeah these labor related laws really need to be administered federally to be effective.

I tested this on my own system somewhat recently, with a Ryzen 5950X, 64 GB of 3600 MHz CL 18 RAM and a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo, using the config file that ships with Fedora 33.

I created a ramdisk as follows:

~$ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=32g tmpfs ~/ramdisk/
~$ cp -r Downloads/linux-5.14-rc3 ramdisk/
~/ramdisk$ cp /boot/config-5.13.5-100.fc33.x86_64 linux-5.14-rc3/.config
~/ramdisk$ cd linux-5.14-rc3/
~/ramdisk/linux-5.14-rc3$ time make -j 32

My compiler invocation was:

~/ramdisk/linux-5.14-rc3$ time make -j 32

And got the following results

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#3)

real 6m2.575s
user 143m42.402s
sys 21m8.122s

When I compiled straight from the SSD I got a surprisingly similar number:

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#1)

real 6m23.194s
user 154m24.760s
sys 23m26.304s

I drew the conclusion that for compiling Linux, NVMe might as well be RAM, though if I did something wrong I'd be happy to hear about it!

Why would they not be equally open to that risk right now? I am not seeing any special connection between publicly listing a pay range and an applicant's gender.

In a hot job market this will not affect overall unemployment in Colorado. In a severe downturn, Coloradans will probably be at a major disadvantage. We need a recession to figure out the real consequences. Who knows when that will be.

> Apache Beam _can be_ but this person is talking about using it inside of Google (e.g. as the Dataflow API) and with a Google service.

Right, but it sounds like they filed the bug with Apache Beam, not with Google Cloud. Working through the Beam bug tracker means the team behind it doesn't have any context as to what kind of user they are. And even if they said "I'm using this with Google Cloud", the people they're interacting with there aren't necessarily paid to work on Google-related issues. Sure, a better answer (instead of "it's open source; you can fix it") might have been "you should contact your Google Cloud account rep to report this to them", but still, I think OP reported this bug in the wrong place given their expectations of how it should be handled.
It's actually good for them by the way. Since in case of the complete full match they would have needed to specify their original names before the change.
Yep. I think this is an MIC hammer in search of a nail.
Tesla isn't doing that and afaik has no plans to do so. They would much rather put their own fully integrated stack right onto their own skateboard and make the full profit. Elon is a huge fan of vertical integration, why would he change to help his competitors?

Skateboards simply aren't that hard to make, the legacy makers will have them within a decade. They won't be as efficient or have large capacity as Tesla, because meanwhile Tesla will keep building on it's technical lead and stay on top for at least a few years, in my estimation.

They'll potentially be lapped by miraculous new battery designs, but with current batteries? Who can top Tesla in the 2020s?
I don’t know what supply chains the legacy automakers have, but it sure feels like they’re having trouble sourcing efficient batteries.
> No, what I'm really asking is, "What happens if innocent people start being hurt by the lie?"

Open and vibrant debate.

> Does freedom come with any responsibility?

Sure it does, though assessing culpability is often a nightmarish impossibility, especially a priori.

Should we establish prior restraints on individual’s freedoms to enforce correct speech and beliefs?

If not, then what exactly are you proposing?
When you need moderators in private chat something is messed up socially and technologically.

If you and I are texting, privately, and you say something to me I don't like, I'll tell you., or I will stop talking to you. That's healthy social interaction. If I report it instead, that's not healthy social interaction, and it appears to me the tech companies designing these solutions to problems that were solved a decade ago are more than happy to oblige because it gives them an excuse to surveil and censor. They're encouraging unhealthy social interaction because it serves their ends to do so.

If an instant messaging application has moderators it's not an instant messaging application.

> Why does it seem intentionally confusing?

Because "group entities together in memory by which components they have" isn't patent worthy.
The challenge with that is if you can't get the Department of Labor to institute this (under a favorable administration), Congress is mostly deadlocked until the makeup up representatives turns over (through voter turnover). Alternatively, you could target enough states to pass this law that it would be useless to avoid listing your jobs in those states, as you'd be excluding excessive candidates from your candidate pool.

California, Oregon, Washington state, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York would be ideal next states to push this legislation. Texas and Florida would, of course, not be likely to pass such legislation although they each have large populations that would benefit from such pro labor statute. Turn the ratchet.
The last thing anyone wants is efficient markets in labor. It would make unions illegal, for example, as the entire raison d'etre of unions is to use market power to raise prices in a coordinated manner. So let's not start pushing for "market efficiency" arguments because those will really come back to bite the proponents of this bill.
Could you explain why minimum wage laws aren't overreach but this is?
A common hypothesis is that there are genetic and social/economic aspects that push people towards one field or another. If you make an effort to remove all social forces, and succeed, then the only forces left are the inborn ones- so their effects maximize. So, if there are any inborn differences in the distribution of interest in e.g. engineering between men and women, you would expect to see their effects most keenly in the most low-pressure countries. Inegalitarianism adds pressure that money is useful for dealing with.
During COVID I knew some rural and suburban teachers. Once they went online only at the rural schools the rural teachers reported never hearing back from as many as half their students.

Normally not going to school would mean you are held back a year or fail or something. They just chose to pretend it didn't happen and the kids lost more than year and will just show up again this fall.

Very disheartening to think of what kind of education they're getting.

These are places where people feel forgotten, almost entirely off the map, like they're in another country, and right or wrong they feel that way and that leads to actions that fit it too.

> The car companies that have the supply chains, the know-how, and now the motivation to electrify

The car companies supply chains are set up for ICE, not EV. Likewise, their know-how is also for ICE, not EV. It's like saying Kodak was in a prime position to take advantage of the digital camera (which they invented), but it was actually the opposite - they'd spent decades optimizing around a separate core technology and couldn't change until it was too late.

I'm not a fan of Tesla for a myriad of reasons and I love cars. But the notion that traditional car companies can magically start cranking out profitable EVs (Tesla made most of their money from tax credits which are essentially gone now) is laughable.
And breaking windows spurs the local economy because people will pay to get them fixed.
> but its main goal is enabling pay transparency to allow for people to know if they're being discriminated against with their wages

Won't this just lead to:

"hmm, I'm not a white male and I'm making less than average white male salary, therefore I'm being discriminated against"

"hmm, I'm not a while male and I'm making more than average white male salary, therefore I'm not being discriminated against"

> If I send your system something obscure like an SDIF audio file you're not going to have the tools to do anything with it unless you can find and install an SDIF library.

Which is the point. So then you find and install an SDIF library. The OS can't reasonably predict and support every possible file format that anyone will ever come up with in the past or future, so the answer is to be flexible and use different utilities for different formats.

> What if the OS could do this automatically because a typed schema and standard API was built into the SDIF (or any) standard and installable in the same way code dependencies are?

The problem with this is that what you can do with a file depends on the format. You can split a PDF into pages; you can't split an SDIF into pages. An SDIF might have channels; a PDF doesn't have channels. You could call each frame in a video a "page" and try to compare them with a PDF, but the video "page" is going to be a pure individual image whereas a PDF page might have text or multiple individual embedded images.

Everything is so specific to the format that you're going to want format-specific utilities to operate on it that take into account the characteristics of the format.

At best you'll sometimes have multiple formats that are largely "the same" interface-wise like PNG and JPEG and then you would want to use the same interfaces to access both, but that's what already happens. You use e.g. ImageMagick when dealing with both PNGs and JPEGs because it supports both. But it doesn't support SDIF because you need a completely different interface when dealing with audio.

And file formats already have magic strings in them that identify what kind of file they are, which is about the extent of the information the OS could provide you about the file without assuming anything about what's inside it. The schema is already implied by the header magic.
Ah interesting. I don't see mention of NAT or address translation at all in the datasheet for the switch I am using. Since the original plan was just to mate CM4s with a switch I hadn't considered any additional network hardware.

This seems like a Rev2 thing. I could get the basic system up and running without additional complexity. But I really like the idea of forks of my work so once I've proven the basic layout I'd be happy to collaborate with the community on improvements.

Do you have any more information on that type of hardware or suggestions on how to learn more? Maybe I should get on the OpenWRT mailing list and introduce myself.

How does one confirm how many “ends” are there in a conversation? If WhatsApp secretly set themselves (or another third party) up as an “end” in every conversation , that would also not break break E2EE.
I don't understand why Apple would want to enter the automotive manufacturing business. It's so far-afield from computers, mobile screens, and accessories. TVs, home automation, VR glasses, smart home gym, and audio equipment seem much closer to the product mix than something random like a lawnmower, car, or business jet.
> this just feels like it's almost attacking these companies

Can you explain why you feel that way? It just seems like something similar to price transparency to me.
There's plenty of companies out there flat-out ignoring this law. I'm not sure this is better, though.
> Men are failing because it is the policy not to support them.

And because men need the support. I suspect that a lot fewer men needed support in, say, 1950.

Why do more men need support than did in 1950? I think the first reason may be because of education. Our education system is failing in a way that it wasn't in 1950. (This may be too harsh. If, say, 10% of high school graduates went to college in 1950, and 50% do now, then that means that the top 10% then were more prepared for college than the top 50% are now. But apples-to-apples would be to ask whether the top 10% then were better prepared than the top 10% are now. I don't have a good feel for the answer to that question.)

The fact the Texas legislature came up with that completely ridiculous scheme is not that surprising. They just aren't that good at making laws and have elected a number of people who show no concern with the general welfare of their constituents.

That the Supreme Court basically rubber stamped it is absolutely insane. Even operating on the assumption that the conservative majority on the court wanted to overturn Roe without having big headlines saying "Roe Overturned" choosing this absolutely insane law to do it is not going to do them any favors in the long term. The chance of this backfiring is so high that it's hard to imagine anybody looking at it and saying it was a good idea. How can they not be feeling like Roger Taney after Dred Scott right now? This could be the beginning of the end for restrictive abortion laws nationwide, to so decisively win a battle that costs you the war.

Edit: Wow, this is getting downvoted fast. I'm leaving it up so history can be the judge. I'm feeling confident that effectively issuing a Letter of Marque to every single US citizen on their own constituents is will turn out badly. This law is only going to be abused, and severely, unless the sensible minds in the courts wake up and put it on hold.

> I don't think the role of quarterback on a football team is comparable to the role of CEO of a tech company.

Yeah, an NFL quarterback has much higher profile. Given how well known quarterbacks are to the public, statements they make (especially on TV during games) have much higher impact than a tweet from some no-name CEO.

I think the focus on revenue, etc. have an element of bad faith to them. The real metric seems to be you agree with A and disagree with B, so it's wrong to punish A and fine to punish B. What to choose as a publicly offered "critical metric" can usually be gerrymandered to get whatever result one desires.

Personally, I don't think anyone should be fired for expressing an opinion, especially not one that's well within the Overton Window of the country as a whole. To do otherwise invites polarization and extremism.
