I have not read anything but here's my understanding...

Hot off their success in the 80s with the desktop market, in the 90s Intel decided to go up market and target workstations, datacenter, and mainframes. They launched the P6 architecture with HPC in mind and eschewed power efficiency.

By the mid/late 90s they didn't have an x86 product that could work well in the mobile space let alone the embedded space. The recognized that the laptop market was poised to explode and started work on Pentium M which eschewed their P6 derived Netburst architecture for something closer to the P5.

ARM wisely chose not to compete with Intel and instead went for markets Intel wasn't in. This included mobile and embedded. At the time Intel was trying to optimize x86 for Laptops (Pentium M / Core), ARM was working down market from embedded to microcontrollers (ARM M).

When Smartphones started to take off, ARM was positioned to be the processor of choice due to it's focus on low power and efficiency AND the fact that anyone could design their own SoC around it. Intel on the other hand was still trying to scale down x86 from the laptop space and chose to develop their SoCs entirely themselves.

Intel also has this on going problem of eschewing SoCs for discrete chips because they want to sell you as many chips as possible.

Fast forward to today and Intel's Atom line is comparable to ARM's high performance line (ignore Apple) in terms of performance and battery but it lacks the SoC integration you see in products from Qualcomm, Mediatek, and Samsung.
It's true. Just read any hisoty source for any historical period before modern times. See how many accounts you can find about the lives of "common people", which usually means slaves, serfs, etc. Even in modern times, you hear about Churchill or Lincoln, but where are the stories of the carpenters, or farmers, the milk maids or the nurses, the midwives or the factory workers? Who remembers their names, what they achieved, what they held dear, who they loved and married, and how they died?

Most of hisotry is about the people that hold all the power in their hands and most of the time their great deeds is to crush everyone else underfoot. We learn the dates and placenames of the great battles where king so-and-so defeated king such-and-such, but do we ever hear the names of the hundreds or thousands of their men who left their families and land to go and die a sad, senseless death?
You definitely have to watch the fine print with these things. During my first professional job, I didn't have any degrees (I still don't, but I used to not, also) my employer offered "tuition reimbursement". The stipulation was that the class had to be job related. Not the degree, but the class. So I ended up having to take VB6 (yes, this was 20 years ago) as an elective, since that's what I did at my job (and already knew how to do - I'm not exaggerating when I said I learned nothing new in that class - think, how to add a text box to a form when I was doing very complicated file processing in my day job). But they wouldn't pay for the programming 101 class, let alone any liberal arts credits.

I took to calling it "Training Reimbursement".
Yeah like my work has an education solution too -- Linkedin Learning, so far it's been roughly useless or the kinds of things only HR thinks makes nice little worker bots
HN generally considers it distasteful to complain about downvotes, especially in uninformed ways. The downvotes are because of your false claims about the cost of study at these universities. Check here https://financialaid.dartmouth.edu/cost-attendance/myintuiti... and put in the typical situation of a frontline amazon worker and see how much they would be expected to actually pay after the financial aid is subtracted (it will be close to zero, I just checked).

Universities, especially prestigious ones are expensive in the US. But the prestigious ones also happen to have incredibly good financial aid options. The problem is the classist system that makes it difficult for a low-income person to have the CV that lets them get admitted. Paying the rest after being admitted is comparatively easy (both for the rich and for the poor). It is the middle class that is in a bit uncomfortable situation as the financial aid can still have aggressive cutoffs.
Are you asking for the out of the box default to be that your iPhone can't send an email or iMessage because that wouldn't "stay on your iPhone" either?

I'm doing that. I have classmates that do the same while also managing small kids.
But if I'm getting the education, for free, why do I care whether it serves as employee training to Amazon?

And, community colleges provide a better education than state colleges? Seriously? Do you have any evidence for that position?
The only people who ask questions like this are Physics TAs and children. Both are equally intimidating. The former, because they know how students learn, and they can ask fantastical oblique questions to test basic knowledge. The latter, because they have no prejudices about physics and ask fantastical oblique questions without regard for logic.
> Because the technical implementation already exists with the highest security guarantees in the world.

This is a tired observation, but I'll trot it out again: I don't care how "secure" my financial settlement layer is if it allows me to flush my net worth down the drain with a single typo. My threat model includes my ability to feed, clothe, and house myself, all of which are contingent on my ability to claw back transactions that are fraudulent or incorrect. Blockchain solutions offer me no relief.
> Amazon is now the largest job creator in the U.S., and we know that investing in free skills training for our teams can have a huge impact for hundreds of thousands of families across the country

The impact being them being able to eventually escape the minimum wage slavery that is working for Amazon?
Not sure how much this pertains to Amazon's employees, but regarding costs, you can get an engineering degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo for 4 - 5x less than UC (LA, SD or Berkeley) and still get a really good education. I guess provide an environment and qualified teaching staff, it's up to the student to make best use of it.
Research of course, might be a different ball game.
So what's the strawman? That many pro-choicers also hate vaxxers?
Honestly, if the decision to not get a vaccine because you are young and healthy only affected you then your argument would make sense. Why are there laws against drunk driving? It isn't to solely protect the driver from injuring themselves correct?

Edit: BTW I do not support mandated COVID vaccination. I just wish more people would think of the societal good instead of "muh freedoms" when making choices. Especially when certain side effects of vaccines actually happen at a higher incidence rate from getting COVID then from the vaccine (I.E. myocarditis).

I assume you didn't tell Apple that you were negotiating with other buyers? I think most bug bounty programs will cut off communications at that point.

I've managed several programs for some very large companies and haggling over bounties with a researcher is a _really_ bad idea. You set your bounty amounts and stick to them. If people want to haggle over impact that's fine, but once you exceed your quoted bounty amount for one person then everyone expects it.

We don’t know what the second and third order effects would be. We can’t even correctly predict what the weather will be 3 days in advance. No chance that we can predict what the consequences of such a significant and never been done change would be.

Seems like a high risk play, only to use as a last resort to me.
Is tuition reimbursement treated differently than Amazon paying the school directly?

> Pre-paid fees. Amazon will pay employees’ tuition and fees in advance rather than offering reimbursement after coursework completion, ensuring employees don’t need existing funds to start accessing the education options they want.
Solar might not work well if you're generating clouds.
But this is pretty clearly not the same thing as is currently being talked about. No one expects to have a right to travel to another country, it's well understood they can create whatever rules they want.

What the vaccine passport debate centers around is whether it is fair to require vaccines for entry into events and businesses.

He recently appeared in the EconTalk podcast and its worth hearing too (will find the link). But they touched on Sparta and the thing that struck me was just how unequal - something like 5% or less of the population of Sparta (and it was a big state by Greek standards), only 5% were "free" - everyone else was a Slave.

The level of violence to stop that becoming an uncontrolled uprising must have been huge.
Smart Glasses Made Google Look Dumb. Now Facebook Is Giving Them a Try
You know Harvard admits like 2k students per year right? Of which most are children of professors, upper middle class dream hoarders and maybe a handful of foreign and domestic notables? Plus a handful of people from the sticks, recruited athletes, legacies, and kids from poor urban high schools to round it out. *NORMAL PEOPLE* do not get into Harvard. NORMAL PEOPLE do work at Amazon.

Meanwhile there are 900,000+ front line employees at Amazon. Bringing up elite schools in relation to this group is missing the forest for the trees, and frankly insulting to people that worked hard and went to state schools that you'd consider "failures".

I can imagine doing any two of those, with some difficulty. Doing all three is insane. Is her bloodstream, like, 30% caffeine?

Define “genetically fully human” and “distinct individuals” and provide an argument as to why each is ethically relevant.
No, because unlike Western Union people don’t have to take out their whole balance at once. In fact they don’t have to take out anything, because they can use Chivo BTC to pay anywhere.

Dumb TV + Streaming stick is the way to go. Bundling your TV (hardware) with your smart TV (software) is a recipe for disappointment and frustration 2-3 years down the road when the tech evolved and your TV manufacturer has lost interest in supporting your model (looking at you LG)
With annual 100%-150% turnover rates* Amazon needs to figure out some way to keep people around and engaged. They’re simply running out of Americans to employ who are willing to work such a physically demanding job for peanuts.

Their biggest competitor for employees in many places in America is Wal-Mart; and they’ve been offering this for a while now.
I suspect it's not because of some nefarious plan to "avoid paying their employees properly" but rather it's more tax efficient to pay for their employees' education (because the compensation isn't subject to payroll tax?).
I wouldn’t have described that so easily. You’re right.

I understand why they had to go back. Why Neo had to lose his memory, why they had to go back to being “inside”. It’s been so long that it makes sense people want the first movie again. To take the pill and follow the rabbit. The woman in the red dress is there without a doubt.

So unless there’s some reason for exactly what you described, that it’s all bright and shiny, and Doogie Houser is there, then yea, it’s a much different feel. Maybe it’s because they are “in the core”.
I _think_ the reason that the comparison with OpenAPI feels weird is because OpenAPI uses one (and only one) communication interface in REST. AsyncAPI is trying to accomplish the same thing without a consensus in communication interface. This requires that any specs are far more abstract to encompass the possible options.

But consider what OpenAPI/Swagger actually changed - it made for a singular page to tell a user (or machine) all the possible ways to interact with the service and what the shape of the requests and responses would look like. AsyncAPI is meant to do the same, but it's much harder to grok with all the various protocols generalized into unnatural-looking fields/URIs/etc.
This seems to imply that writing "02021" in a textual forum post does anything more than just make it significantly more difficult for another human to parse. I don't buy that argument - writing "1999" instead of "99" in BBS/IRC messages before the turn of the century would have done nothing to fix the critical systems that were storing years as a pair of bytes.
I suspect these benefits are pretty cheap to offer, at least most years. my employer has a fairly generous tuition reimbursement benefit, but people rarely use it. most people don't want to slowly chip away at a degree on top of a full-time job.
I upvoted you just so that your ignorance can make a good discussion point.

There are an innumerable amount of "hard working" students that have all sorts of jobs in our economy. I'm now a 30-something tenured researcher at a world class instution, but at one point I was a 19 year old working swing shifts in a manufacturing plant while attending a world class university... because although I worked hard in high school just like you... I also desperately needed money. It would have been great if my greedy/zealous manager would have paid for my college, I was repairing the electronics and software for him at near minimum wage anyway.
So, building blocks for nanites?
Well, you start by not acting like 40 hours a week is an insurmountable mountain and all you can muster.
The IRS guideline as I understand it, is the DEGREE must be job related. Obviously a job could be more strict (but likely not less strict) than the IRS.

Like, basically anyone could expense a business degree. Job related? Doing better at business. But if you are a grocery store stocking shelves, you couldn't submit to the IRS college tuition for say an engineering degree.

But within that, it should be all classes. So if you are a self-taught programmer and going to school for a computer science degree, it's OK there is a class in public speaking or chemistry. As long as the degree itself is for something that you can justify as job related.

* Not a lawyer, hire a pro before offering tuition reimbursement to make sure you don't run afoul with IRS requirements
I wonder if GH could/should make it a lot more convenient to implement with some additional abstractions, to encourage the secure approach by making it as easy as the insecure one.

In my personal experience I'm pretty sure I earned more money per hour by getting awesome grades + scholarships than I would have on minimum wage. It's a bit of a chicken and egg issue, but if you can make do in the the gap (about a year), then you can ride the scholarships money better than a job

C's get degrees, but the marginal difference between a C and and A wasn't all that much time.
The comments here are disheartening. I get it, a lot of people hate Amazon and that perfectly ok, but why can't we be happy when companies do nice things?

Also for those complaining about the 40hrs/week then you have part-time school on top: this is actually something that a lot of people do. My engineering university is somewhat known for this in Canada, you have classes at 6PM every day of the week + on Saturday. It is absolutely exhausting but everyone in my class that was in that particular situation was more than happy to have the opportunity to do it even if they were +30 years old. At the end of the program they get to be in a much better financial situation and guarantee a better future for their family.
>I'm highly cyninical of any of these such programs. The last thing I want is a privatized business like Amazon trying to educate and having incentives to lock people into their ecosystem at a fundamental level such as education. Education should acknowledge the downsides of Amazon as well as the upsides and I doubt you'll see much of any of the former.

Is that's what's actually happening though? It looks like they're paying for employee to go to certain (community?) colleges, not for them to get AWS certs.
You did not ask about vaccines. The parent comment you replied to said medicine.

The Rotavirus vaccine RotaShield was approved in 1998 and withdrawn in 1999 due to risk of intussusception (telescoping intestine).

This is correct, people from middle and upper middle class families can't get in that did well in high school and college. What sort of bubble is made up of only people that went to top schools?
Heck, Microsoft got it wrong — Swedish versions of Windows used to have a folder called "Vanliga filer" (Ordinary files). This was, of course, the "Common files" folder, but the translator, probably having no context, picked the wrong meaning of "common", and chose a Swedish word which does not have the "shared" meaning.
It's not necessary. We can pass robust carbon pricing legislation, convert our grid to clean energy. If the richest countries in the world go this route, the others will be forced to follow (border adjustments will make it impossible for polluters to compete for that rich country $$$). However politically difficult this might seem, it's going to be a lot easier than geo-engineering the entire planet's atmosphere.

Theranos was obviously impossible because the amount of blood drawn was too small. Just like with homeopathy, there simply aren't enough atoms to make everything work. Despite the physical obstacles, they were able to raise enough money to start disrupting phlebotomists and other health-care professionals, cashing in on their fraudulent claims.

If the most qualified capitalists cannot tell whether a CEO is fraudulent, then it seems that we should alter the CEO appointment system somehow. In particular, I hear stories of automated decision-making algorithms being prototyped to replace executive officers; members of the board/cabinet each submit a machine-readable proposal, and the algorithm chooses one. Would Theranos have been successful in their fraud if they had not had Sunny and Holmes at the helm?

The named women aren’t helots and it’s unlikely the unnamed women would be helots either. I was under the impression The only group we refer to as Spartan are that minority population of elites as the rest were referred to as helots (who were also unable to serve in their military)
I don't think it matters how the payment is made. Trump's former CFO is now facing charges for having his grandkid's tuition fees paid, but not declared as compensation. It's a bit different, but comparable.
Not our lifetime. I disagree with the original poster. Often times manufacturing fresh polymer, while cheaper, uses many times the carbon content of the polymer in process energy.

Just as an example I know about offhand, isoprene rubber takes five times the carbon content of the product to process from petrochemical feedstocks. That said, recycling isn't very good either, so better would be to just not use it unnecessarily in packaging.

I do think it is better to incinerate than to recycle wrong and contaminate the entire recycling stream though. To me, ruining all the other recycling on top of lying about it being recyclable in the first place is way way worse.

And no, you cannot generally recycle PLA... I'm not sure where that is coming from. I hate that PLA (often labeled as 7 even though that just means "other") confuses everything even worse when people try to just toss it into typical compost and thus ruin the compost too. Of course it would also ruin the recycling... it would literally be better to just throw it away to be incinerated or else use good old numbers 1 and 2.

Especially since its not just the creation of trans women, but something of an extended metaphor of trans experience.
When my tuition was reimbursed almost 20 years ago, it was at that $5250 level. I'm shocked that the limit hasn't increased, given that tuition everywhere has more than doubled since then.
I believe you misinterpreted. State community colleges are likely better than any sort of "training programs" Amazon provides in terms of education. If those "training programs" happen to include a waiver at a full state university, then of course not, but the program waivers aren't entirely composed of 4 year universities and many seem to be Amazon tailored programs, based on the article.
one of the odd (but kinda nice) things about the amazon hiring process is they dont really care whether your background is a good fit for the position. if you pass their general interview, they will give you a chance on any team with an opening at your level.

it can be a good opportunity to reskill in a totally different domain without sacrificing comp.
