> I don't follow this at all.

I didn't either.

This same user states multiple times that "Everyone knows what a protected class means" and to use "common sense". After being pressed to define it then suggests: "The dictionaries should have a more understandable definition." but then offers no link to "The dictionaries".

This user has 4 followers on GitHub, but is lecturing the Ruby community on "obvious" things that unfortunately aren't that obvious.

I'm all for a robust discussion to make the community a better place, but assuming everyone has your world-view and a common understanding of words that you yourself struggle to define is a quick way to alienate folks who are seriously trying to understand the arguments but need more information.

Other people chime in to recommend that people "educate themselves", and links to an article (https://thoughtbot.com/blog/beyond-best-intentions) which suggests protected classes are: "Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, queer folks, and disabled people" because they "are disproportionately likely to experience bias and discrimination at work and in social circles."

Another user suggests the California definition which is much broader (https://www.senate.ca.gov/content/protected-classes) and includes classes like "marital status" and "genetic characteristics".

It's just better to be clear about what exactly is meant by these terms if possible.
If Microsoft really did want to increase the ability for their workers to innovate, why not do the obvious and formally create an "innovation day" each week where workers are free to:

1) Watch recorded presentations or demos to expand knowledge and be inspired

2) Read whitepapers

3) Review and play with other software for inspiration

4) Have group discussions involving a lot of "what if..." and "I just learnt..."

5) Work on whatever project they want to that the worker has decided would be interesting for end users to trial or colleagues to learn from

There's nothing preventing any of the above from being conducted remotely.

Workers are arguably more likely to do mundane work in an office setting without inspiration, creativity or any desire to innovate. As has been found through various implementations of "20% projects"[1] it's not the physical location of workers exist that matters, it's whether the company is forward looking enough to invest a significant portion of wages into increasing skills and knowledge of workers, and allowing workers to freely conduct R&D. Google was once considered innovative in its early days. However, Google's "20% projects"[1] approach was famously killed off in 2013, or arguably long before this by effect of workers doing 100+20% work rather than 80+20% work, and I would argue that Google in the last decade has been very poor at innovating for its size.

i really dig the $800 65w 32core. although it has really low clock too. but it seems to have the full 8x ram & 128x pcie4. meaning this could be an intensely good data pusher. and way way cheaper than similar amd offerings.
An algorithm to predict psychotic illnesses
That very well could be it.

I probably should be more specific: the enrichment facility had roughly 20,000 employees. That's more than enough time for managers to figure out who was good and/or bad at the job, as well as to build stereotypes / culture for how to pick out a good candidate for hiring.

It very well could be that these women had tedious hobbies (such as sewing, crochets, or other textile work), which made them predisposed to passing whatever tests the enrichment facility had.

In either case, the end result is the room full of tens of thousands of young women.

1. You need to account for the fact that some percentage (perhaps large) of healthcare workers already survived COVID and have natural immunity. Since the science is demonstrating that natural immunity is as durable and robust as vaccine immunity (if not more durable and robust), one would have to ask what the rationale is for firing workers who have natural immunity (as verified by a past COVID diagnosis or presence of antibodies) and do not want to be vaccinated.

2. The science is clear that vaccinated individuals can contract and spread the virus. While this doesn't mean that the vaccines aren't useful (they absolutely are), we need to be realistic about this in high-risk settings.

Sorry you mixed my project (in a sibling thread) with JSGraph in the global thread; they are actually being used for the script to generate all those images with the proper names!

Obesity treatment: Weight loss versus increasing fitness and physical activity
Dont go. Seriously. When they ask why just say 'I do not contribute and am in the way there'. One place I worked it took them 4 months to realize I was not in the 1-2 hour meeting every other day. It took them another year to realize most of the people on that call should not be there. The managers are confusing their status meetings with yours and now they are one in the same. That is why they are long and disorganized.
Threatening that someone with a baseball bat, or a gun would be libertarian. Threatening with reporting them to a government institution is ironic.
> The advice from Krebs about phone calls is never talk to "the bank" (etc) when they call you, always you have to call them back. But the bank _will_ really sometimes contact you "out of the blue" to ask you about potential fraud on your account. You just have to hang up and call them back, you can't tell the difference based on "reasons".

Don't forget that you have to call them back by looking up your bank's phone number yourself from a trusted source (perhaps their HTTPS website). Obviously just calling back the number they called you from (or provided to you) is useless.
Being colonies for a while brought civilisation and law to these places. Especially those who were lucky to have British colonisers.
Especially when maintaining and adding to a legacy system takes more effort and risks than simply rebuilding it.
jlokier has explained this beautifully and in more detail than I would have known how.

I will just add one thing: basically Quantum Supremacy is yet another test of QM. As long as quantum supremacy could not be demonstrated, there remained a possibility that QM was wrong in this prediction - just like until the Higgs boson was detected, there remained a possibility that the Standard Model was wrong/incomplete.

If you're curious of some proposed possible barriers to quantum supremacy from the time before this experiment was completed, Gil Kalai is a major advocate of the impossibility of achieving QS in practice. This paper [0] details some of this arguments. In very short, his argument is that it is fundamentally impossible to control quantum states to a sufficient degree of precision to realize an actual quantum computer, that errors will always compound too much (he doesn't believe the Google paper will stand the test of time). I am not a believer in his view, but as far as I understand it is (or was, before the Google experiments) not completely absurd; and it is definitely not supernatural.

C12 Quantum Electronics | Onsite (Paris) | Full-time

C12 Quantum Electronics develops reliable & application-specific quantum computers, to solve highly complex computing tasks, currently out of reach of even most powerful supercomputers.

Building a quantum computer still needs innovators ready to tackle exciting challenges. C12 founders are convinced that only a new material for the qubit will bring a technological breakthrough.

C12 Quantum Electronics uniquely uses carbon nanotubes as the fundamental building blocks of its quantum processor. This high-purity material minimizes errors, radically improves performance and reduces hardware overhead for fault-tolerant computing. Combined with well-established semiconductor techniques, carbon nanotubes will help scale quantum computing, just as silicon revolutionized classical computing.

Founded in 2020, C12 Quantum Electronics is a fast-growing start-up, having raised a seed round of USD 10 million in June 2021 and building its own lab space in the center of Paris.

We have many open positions. For more details on the jobs, check-out the job ads:

NavigatorCRE | Seattle/Remote | DevOps and Fullstack Developers | Fulltime | https://navigatorcre.com

NavigatorCRE is a growing proptech company that is attempting to change the way Commercial Real Estate is managed and reported on. We provide a cloud based platform to host clients data, provide visualizations and easy management options, and have a top of the line BI team to provide analytics about our clients data. We just closed our Series A funding, having raised $17.2 million, and have landed some of the largest CRE companies in the world as our clients.

My name is Jason, I'm the Director of Engineering here at Navigator. I have a small team of 4 Full Stack developers, a QA, as well as 3 Data Engineers and a Project Manager under me. We are looking to grow our team by 2/3 Mid level Full Stack Developers as well as to have someone come in to be our DevOps lead.

Tech Stack: We have our existing platform which runs on C#/.Net 4.8 and a plain javascript/Kendo MVVM front end. This platform is mostly in maintenance mode at this point, occasionally we get some change requests but it's at the point where the company is happy with it, and our clients think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. However poor design decisions and a lack of focus on automated testing has caused the application to become difficult to extend and grow. That's why I have gotten sign off on a complete ground up rewrite, which is in it's early stages. We will be using .Net 5 with an NX/Angular front end and a focus on properly using RxJS to it's full potential. We are also committed to staying evergreen with updates (as soon as .Net 6 releases, we will be upgrading).

How we work: We do all our development as Mob Development. Our day is spent on a zoom call from 10AM PST to 4PM PST. (Lunch and Breaks excepting). Every one of my team loves working in this style, if this is something that interests you, reach out and I can get you in touch with some of them to hear their experiences.

Anyways, this is starting to get fairly long. So I'll wrap it up. If you want to work with a great group of developers in a team that emphasizes work life balance, and enjoy laughing at stupid memes and jokes then shoot me an email with your resume jason@navigatorcre.com.
Tesla's value is approaching a trillion USD, approximately six times the value of the whole Volkswagen group. You can believe in Tesla or not, but that valuation is clearly hoping for a future where Tesla dominates multiple industries. I don't see much difference to people investing in any insanely valued coin because they think it's the future of payment.

The locking in Quip is like a UI concern - it's not a guarantee, and I don't know how (or if) Quip handles concurrent offline edits. As a user of Quip (while at Airbnb) I was pretty frustrated by the lock UI, although it improved once they added the "steal this lock" button.

Serving ML Models in Production: Common Patterns
Question to JSXGraph creators; I see that it's stated as "Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union", so how is development of the library being funded? Is it related to academia? Are there professors and students developing it? It seems like a very complex and advanced piece of software that required thousands of hours to be created, so I'm curious who/how created it.
Awesome!

"system" denotes something which was designed to work as a whole. Pieces are connected together by a manufacturer to build a system. The operating system is a kernel, UI, tools, etc taken by a creator and put together into a packaged tool that people can use on their computers.

"ecosystem" denotes an environment created by some kind of vessel e.g. Earth, the ocean, Ethereum, etc where independent entities can be created, develop, and compete for resources, attention, space, etc provided by that environment. The entities have no real connection to their environment besides just living within it and interacting with the other entities.

Ethereum is just as much of an environment as the Earth is. It provides the foundation which the entities live on top of (security), the resources the entity needs to exist (data availability), and the gathering point where complex interactions can happen (smart contracts and end users). Ethereum doesn't build any of the ecosystem, it simply provides the marketplace where life happens.
Group chat apps don’t care about preserving functionality when the network drops. But a document editor does. And editing a message is relatively rare in chat apps so they can afford to lock; editing a line is common in documents and the chance of a lock conflict is higher.

Your suggestion also assumes that the network is reliable. What happens if a user takes a lock and there is a partition? If the document is P2P, there is no central authority; when should the other participants override the lock? How much overhead does that add to the protocol?

The main point is that there is no notion of a central clock in a distributed system; hence “lock temporally” is not precise. Relative to which participant? And what happens when messages are dropped? (Even the lock message might be dropped!) A distributed lock implementation is non-trivial.
