Nope - that’s basically the equivalent of saying “does anyone else find it odd that that person who got their driver’s license 6 months just died in a car accident?”
>One hypothesis is this is largely explained by prevalence-induced concept change in human judgment. What is the evidence that refutes this given the population level changes in attitudes and revealed preferences since the 1960's?

Indeed.

Every minority group in the US is initially seen as "the other". After some point, however, employers that hire "the other" usually find that they can pay them less because there is less demand to hire them, and thus benefit financially, they hire more. As other employers follow suit, over time the salaries go up until they match that of other groups. Similarly, even if landlords initially hesitate to rent to "the other", some will; assuming that there are no unusual problems, over time other housing stock will be made available to them as landlords do not wish to turn away paying tenants.

Their children benefit. The first generation of manual laborers and farmworkers begets the second generation of policemen, nurses, and soldiers begets the third generation of doctors and lawyers and professors.

In the US this has happened to Irish, Italians, Germans, Russians, Jews, Asians, Indians, and Latinos. This natural process has not organically happened to blacks (or has happened in substantially less numbers), despite the latter having the benefit of US citizenship and command of the English language from birth.
I don't see why not. If we want a strong country, we need more people living here. If people want to move here and start a life, we should enable that by any means necessary.

I understand that the current system doesn't work this way, but I also think that the current system is broken and unsustainable.

>> Does this reflect genuine concern for the poor, or is it a bad faith tactic to try to shoot down a policy for other

> Does it matter?

Yes. For instance: does it matter if someone makes a convincing argument to lure you into a trap? Focusing on the argument in isolation can make you a fool. Motives matter.

> Most policies aimed at helping poor people usually are usually either counterproductive or poorly done.

Eh, I'm skeptical. That's the kind of statement usually made by people who are philosophically opposed to helping poor people or to government action in general.

And even if (say) historical anti-poverty programs did not help the poor, that's irrelevant to mitigations to make a vaccine passport policy work better for poor people.
Those are weak examples though. They're not compelling. Most people wouldn't really care if the government had a nude photo of them. And the reason people lock their front doors is for security, not privacy.
I quit Facebook and Twitter around 2008, and the biggest downside in all that time was finding out about my niece's birth days later than everyone else in the family, because it was only announced on Facebook. Not a huge issue in the scheme of things.

The biggest upside is that I'm completely disengaged with a lot of things people are angry about, because they aren't on my radar at all. In practice, I don't find that closely following breaking news is all that useful to me, since I'm not in a position to do anything about it, and it just makes me anxious to worry about things which are out of my control.

Instead, I read longform articles about major events when they get written a few weeks later, and supplement that reading with Wikipedia. This alternative seems to work well enough. If someone wants to talk to me about current events, I just ask them what their opinion is, which is usually what they want to happen anyway.

Not sure how you would draw this line.

Do we nationalize the apple/google app stores because they are taking 30% cuts? Or Visa/Mastercard/Stripe because they take a cut on every transaction?
RealSense camera technology was used in laptops for Windows Hello the same way as Intel NICs and Intel GPUs and Intel audio controllers and Intel SSDs were used by their traditional segment.

It'd be a bit silly for Intel to be successful in all of those spaces and not ask "and what would it look like to sell this part without bundling our CPU".
I appreciate the concern but I don't do it. What are the statutes against this?
You mean like Mariner I? "The post-flight review also showed that a missing hyphen (technically a bar in the variable r̄) in coded computer instructions in the data-editing program allowed transmission of incorrect guidance signals." https://www.edn.com/mariner-1-destroyed-due-to-code-error-ju...
I wish that were true, unfortunately C++ is copying many of the superficial aspects of D and making many mistakes along the way mostly because of the bitter pissing contest that exists between the two communities and can largely be traced back to this paper:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2013/n361...

Admittedly there are a ton of things I don't like about D and overall I find the language to be quite unprincipled and just a kitchen sink of poor mismatched features... but certainly there are some things D does exceptionally well and C++ should have learned from them to avoid about a decade worth of lost productivity.

Things like modules, ranges, template constraints, static if, compile time execution are all much cleaner in D than what C++ has and with every new C++ standard it turns out that things are broken, defect reports have to be published, there are serious quality of implementation issues and the features just don't work as well in actual production grade projects compared to the tiny and artificial examples one reads in a blog post to show off the feature.

But it's taboo to learn from D, or virtually any other language, with the mantra that "C++ is not like other languages, it's just soooo unique and special that what works for language Foo won't possibly work for C++." and so instead C++ has to reinvent everything in a half-assed manner and repeat many mistakes that others have already learned from.
Parent comment likely refers to kernel CPU time accounted for in the generating process. If an application passes an audio sample to PulseAudio, it is charged for (at most) a memory copy and one or two syscalls, while PulseAudio is charged for the time spent in the kernel driver.

Pulseaudio burning CPU during silence is usually due to an application holding open a channel that is either really playing silence or is keeping the Pulseaudio machinery awake. You could blame the apps, but IMHO that is definitely a Pulseaudio problem
Personally, I disagree about the death-ball buildup being un-fun, and it's only really a thing with Protoss (or it was when I cared about SC2), and that's because you had some relatively immobile units that needed protection.

This is a good point, but just to be the devil's advocate, I will point out that most social networks are starting to implement features where they fill your feed with content you never signed up for. They'll call it something like "suggested" posts. Granted, I think Instagram is the one I've noticed it on the most, and you said you don't use that. But I could see that feature catching on to the point that feeds are harder and harder to maintain control of as a user.
I appreciate the concern but I don't do it. What are the statutes against this? Is it a felony or misdemeanor?
It is already possible to kick a device (go to Settings: Security in Element, for instance).

I've filed an issue at https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/10813 for inactivity timer logouts.

However, my point still stands that fallback keys are a good idea - you should kick the device out deliberately (manually or with a timer) rather than rely on a protocol quirk meaning that E2EE randomly breaks after some period of inactivity(!)
Why would that be any worse? If I owe $100, I still repay $100. Facebook can't change the terms of a previous agreement
No-one forced the government to set up this program, which is not a usual thing to do, and obviously everything is political when you're the government. They have not really done anything on immigration, it's not where they want to go, quite the opposite: "immigration is an opportunity for France" [1] and this is part of that stance.

Marcon is appealing to the centre and left because I think he'd be quite happy to have another second round between him and Le Pen. It'd be closer than last time but he'd win. So ideally the best things he can do are things that make more people on the left vote for him and keep Le Pen on top on the right. This might be one of them.

I also think Macron launched his campaign with his visit to Marseille, which also looked very much like an appeal to the centre and left.

Most games will counter this effect with area of effect damage. AoE has onagers for this purpose - which can easily deal immense damage to clumped and unaware archers - SC2 actually gives a lot of units AoE which is what prevents marine deathballs from being nearly as strong as they might otherwise be. 10 zealots and a clossus vs. twenty marines will be a pretty one-sided fight that will get more extreme the higher the numbers go.
It is. There's a lot more than hacker news on here. And the rules aren't always followed, which makes it a bit more social-media-y, but the mods do a great job keeping it tidy. I guess there is more non-hacker news stuff appearing because it gets a little tedious to see "New programming language X" or "CSS tricks you never heard of" every week.
I get SSDs and modems, this allows them to leverage their fabs. Maybe even CCDs. But 3D computational geometry, camera lenses and LIDAR? And drones? This seems a bit out-of-line to me.

I wonder why the pre-existing core PostgreSQL organization (not super-clear to me which this is) did already have these trademarks in the top handful of countries/jurisdictions. Rather than wait for someone else to try and then get in a potentially expensive fight. PostgreSQL has been around for 25 years, there has been ample time to figure that out, right?

I think they absolutely are taking that path with their recent push towards the eYuan. If they want to replace Alipay with their nationalized, centralized system, I imagine the steps would look roughly like:

1. Create eYuan (Done)

2. Disrupt other solutions (We are here)

3. Disallow other solutions

4. Done

> If your class never needs a runtime virtual call because all virtual calls were monomorphisable, why would it still include a virtual table? What’s the point?

if that was not the case, it would mean that the size of the type would vary, which would break a lot of expectations.

Imagine the following:

class obj { virtual int space_used() { return sizeof(obj); } };
class sub1 : obj { int space_used() override { return sizeof(sub1); } };

it would be very normal for someone to call `space_used();` at some point, and use that size at another point (with a different instance), for instance for allocation ; if that size was to change because that instance was "optimized" by the compiler, that could wreak havoc.
Big (Tech) companies, especially Amazon, are non-capitalist in the sense that are large bureaucracies with complex internal economic planning mechanisms insulated from the "free market". Amazon has tremendous economic planning capability, perhaps more than Stalin's CPSU ever did. That doesn't mean they are "socialist", of course--they are denizens of the mixed economy, "islands of conscious power in this ocean of unconscious co-operation like lumps of butter coagulating in a pail of buttermilk.” [1].

Truly "capitalist" companies won't/can't scale beyond a few hundred employees before imploding under the weight of individualist inefficiency. I think Valve is an (in)famous example of this in the tech space.

Probably because raising money would be harder, would investors or venture firms weigh projects in industries likely to be nationalised lower? Probably.

Any industry likely to be nationalised would have an overall depressive effect on the number of risks taken on new products and services in that industry.
Boo me for violating Godwin's law, but this is needed to be said. The core of the Nazism ideology is reducing and blaming every single society problem into an issue of race, the most common denominator of all people which everyone can relate to.

This is precisely the core of CRT. Every single thing in society reduces to a problem of race. They are using the same emotional mechanisms, the broad appeal, the extremely exaggerated alleged influence of race on everything. It's the same playbook with just a different races (blacks instead of aryans, white instead of jews) and different story (victimhood instead of superiority) but the rest is the same.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that people fall for this human psychological vulnerability again. It is sad that after the holocaust and all those atrocities, so many people weren't taught a very simple lesson: if someone blames every single societal problem on race - he is incredibly dangerous and should be denounced at every opportunity.

It is incredibly scary that discussions of race in the school are coming from the government. The only precedent to this in history is Nazi Germany. Never again. Stop this madness.
Yeah, nationalize all the innovative companies and let the bureaucrats run them. You then end up with a system designed in the 1970s and rarely updated - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACH_Network. In the US, it takes 4-10 days to send an ACH.

The sad thing is that Intel had a real advantage in RealSense... they had good processors in there (especially with the Movidius chips) that were well integrated (e.g. they didn't have to support a fancy SDK for all users - just the internal Realsense group). Doing the same 3d processing with ARM or Intel is 1/10th the frame rate at much more power.
Unless it's a Boeing 737! I kid, but yeah I agree with your point.

CompCert is also very impressive. It's not, however, free software / open source (the source is available though)

https://www.absint.com/compcert/structure.htm

A problem with both seL4 and CompCert is that the code written to express the proofs is huge, much larger than code that actually does stuff. This puts a ceiling on the size of the projects we can verify.

F* is a language that tries to address that, by finding proofs with z3, a smt prover; z3 can't prove everything on its own but it cuts down proof code by orders of magnitude. They have written a verified cryptography stack and TLS stack, and want to write a whole verified http stack.

https://www.fstar-lang.org/

https://github.com/project-everest/hacl-star

https://www.mitls.org/

https://project-everest.github.io/

F* (through Low, a verified low-level subset of F) can extract verified code to C, which is kind of the inverse than the seL4 proof: seL4 begins with C code and enriches it with proofs of correctness; hacl* (a verified crypto F* lib) begins with a proven correct F* code and extracts C code (I gather the actual crypto primitives is compiled directly to asm code because C has some problems with constant time stuff). This enables hacl* to make bindings to other languages that can just call C code, like this Rust binding

https://github.com/franziskuskiefer/evercrypt-rust

Also this F* stuff is all free software / open source, so it might become a very prevalent crypto and TLS stack

That's a fun comment people like to quote but as someone who's been writing software since the DOS days, I can tell you it's not really true.

- Older software might run less efficiently on newer hardware because they don't support newer hardware (eg CPU opcodes) and thus perform the same calculations in software. This is most visibly true with games that are software rendered in DOS rather than hardware rendered.

- Older software might not take advantage of smarter algorithms that have been discovered more recently. This is best observed in the modern demo scene

- Older software might run faster but that might simply because they don't support modern requirements (eg cryptography, memory protection, or even error / crash handling). This is probably the closest to the "efficient" argument but I'd counter by saying the code isn't "more efficient", it's "less functional". Sometimes less functional is exactly what you want (eg why spin up Microsoft Word if all you want to edit is a plain text file) but it's still not the same as saying "more efficient".
I wholeheartedly agree. I would also love to eventually read a clear-eyed breakdown of the current situation and relevant history.

If you find a time when you feel your head is clear enough to write a detailed summary I'm sure many others would benefit from reading it as well. It's probably important to ensure that anything like this is written when your emotions are extremely well-managed, and also important to run it by many of the coolest, most-level headed colleagues that you trust -- and heavily weight their revisions.

I also congratulate the Rust team on getting to a point where they've made something valuable enough that worrying about regressive corporate influence is even warranted. I really do owe Rustaceans a large thanks for building something I enjoy so much.

Hopefully Rust can grow in a healthy way with generous corporate support, and find the guardrails necessary to mitigate the usual negative consequences that come along with the benefits.
It’s easier to ignore bullshit on Twitter.
