That you agree with critical social justice (CSJ) doctrines such as DEI should have been declared upfront instead of using the Motte-and-Bailey[1] tactic of defending her using a more moderate position than what she actually proposed.

> With regards to your question, you lump a whole lot of things together. DEI initiatives might be put together by people who are very concerned about the risks that online outrage mobs pose to a healthy culture.

Awareness of CSJ is now so high that most people don't believe in this kind of defensive Motte argument to the radical Bailey of censoring "hate speech" that the whistleblower proposed. She asked for censorship of "hate speech" using a ministry of truth, literally.

Let me take your point and explain the link[1] fully. Since you claimed CSJ is not determinative I sought your thoughts on the radical DEI agenda from CSJ. The Bailey of DEI activists is to seek Diversity (hiring activists of all identities - a black conservative is not diverse), inclusion (censorship of people resisting CSJ DEI initiatives), and Equity (redistribution of outcomes based upon identities and adherence to CSJ).

Instead of addressing the Bailey of DEI you withdrew to the more moderate Motte of DEI activists, arguing that we should make sure everyone gets along and are treated equally. This is not what DEI does, because DEI argues for asymmetrically enforcing rules based upon identity (group based equity) which is in conflict with symmetrically making sure every individual is treated equally (liberal individuality).

It is the Bailey argument of both the whistleblowers and DEI activists arguments I have an issue with, not the Motte. The Bailey argument in both cases exclude the Mottes individualistic model.

> I don't know what you mean by "determinative"; DEI initiatives might involve a wise attempt to balance freedom of speech with solving problems of underrepresentation that are sensitive to an organisation's culture, or they might be a poorly constructed exercise in risk-aversion that put people in intolerable situations.

The claim that CSJ was not determinative was your claim, which is why I contextualized your claim to the DEI doctrine that most people are familiar with.

When I was a kid and I'd visit my Dad he always had 'pop' around, and it was just something we'd power through without thinking. I'm not sure if I even thought that it was bad for me in a concrete way. It was just super sweet and felt 'fun'.

When I was 19 I worked at a tech company with unlimited pop available. The 15lbs of additional weight caused me to look at it a whole different way, and broke that habit pretty fast!

Now the only time I have Coke is after a huge endurance event, otherwise it's just way too much.
So then there will be more demand on the part of users for Apple's "you can cancel easily" payment service in Europe, right? You still don't have to force people to use it.
Most universal healthcare proposals essentially amount to expanding Medicare for all. That would do nothing to increase supply. The two issues aren't necessarily linked.

We have a shortage of physicians today. The primary bottleneck in producing new licensed physicians is a lack of federal funding for residency program slots. Congress could increase funding for that immediately if they wanted to.

Market demand for healthcare services is essentially infinite. Regardless of the funding model there will always be some type of rationing. Some patients won't get everything that would benefit t them.
I wonder if the increasing shift toward remote work (often in disparate timezones) will end up pushing teams to eventually adopt 1-3 "core hours" 2-3 days per week with team meetings and collaboration sessions and a more laissez-faire attitude toward working the rest of the usual 9-5 day; I would love to just focus on getting my work done any time I feel like it, attend meetings during core hours, and have the ability to get out of the house and go do things during the normal workweek.
Unrelated, but it’s “pop”, “soda”, “soda pop”, or “coke” (regardless of brand) depending where in the US you are. It’s a regional dialect thing.
I think so. It's nice to have more registers and all, but the consistency of an entirely stack-oriented calling convention is simply more elegant and ergonomic IMHO. The register passing overflowing into stack-oriented at some arbitrary limit is just hideously warty, and obnoxious if you're actually writing assembly with C ABI function calling.

Changing the signature of functions requires rearranging which registers are being populated, and if there's enough parameters some go in the stack, and if you've rearranged the order, now you're moving some from stack back to registers and visa versa. At least when everything was always going through the stack, you just rearranged their position in the stack. x86_64 will always be more annoying in this regard, it's not an ABI decision made with humans in mind at all. The assumption is (rightfully) that compilers are doing this work, and the perf win is significant.
Fair enough, a quick Google has confirmed I was wrong! This is what I get for repeating things without researching them first.
While politically popular, these "discounts for locals" schemes don't make much sense as poverty fighting measures. By their very nature, wealthy people will benefit more than the poor (a bigger home will consume more heat than a smaller home).

It would always be better to sell the commodity at market rate and just use the money to fund actual targeted poverty programs.
We don't need to. They already exist. Either way it won't matter because companies will see that putting their app on the app store for apples cut - 10% less while also telling users about the cheaper option is profit maximizing.
How does that prove that they aren't retaining or sharing that info with others?

> Most of the devices on my home network should never be routable from the Internet. Without NAT, they suddenly are [...]

Copy-pasting from a previous discussion a little while ago:

---

IPv4+NAT does not remove any more classes of problems than IPv6+firewall. Firewalls under IPv6 work exactly the same way as they do with IPv4.

An IP connection is started from the 'inside' to the 'outside', and the source-destination tuple is recorded. When an 'outside' packet arrives the firewall checks its parameters to see if it corresponds with an existing connection, and if it does it passes it through. If the parameters do not correspond with anything in the firewall's table(s) it assumes that someone is trying to create a new connection, which is generally not allowed by default, and therefore drops it.

The main difference is that with IPv4 and NAT the original (RFC 1918?) source address and port are changed to something corresponding to the 'outside' interface of the firewall.

With IPv6 the address/port rewriting is not done.† Only state tables are updated and checked.

New connections are not allowed past the firewall towards the inside with either protocol, and only replies to connections opened from the inside are passed through.‡

There's no magical security behind NAT: tuples and packet flags are read, looked up in a state table, allowed or not depending on either firewall rule or state presence.

The security comes from the state checking.

[…]

I have a printer with an IPv6 stack. I also have IPv6 addresses from my ISP. Yet somehow my Asus AC-68U prevents the public Internet from reaching my printer.

† It is possible to have private IPv6 addresses using ULA, and then the router/firewall uses NPTv6 to rewrite the prefix (leaving the /64 interface component alone).

‡ Just like with IPv4 (NAT), to allow unsolicited 'new' connections in you have to do do firewall hole punching with (e.g.) UPNP. But by default things are blocked.

You're looking back with all the knowledge and information today, the NeXT computer was for all it's glory just a black box. At the time Apple did not have anything like what you see now, that didn't come until the 1998 iMac and only because of Ive.

Steve Jobs would have literally done anything to save Apple, you only need to watch the 1997 Macworld Expo to see how far he was willing to go. Those people absolutely hated Gates and you can guarantee you would have seen Michael Dell on that stage if it had gone the other way.

With that said Mac Clones were a thing, Jobs even tried to keep those deals going but they did not make sense at the time. Apple for all its worth was both a hardware and software company and the clone makers would have been competition anyways.
> Is this now the fashion to blame the media by default? Subsidy is the exact term the study uses:

Do you think the Guardian would run the honest version? Would it make the front page of HN?

Does it matter if we blame the chicken or the egg? The effect should more people like GP exposing that this isn’t real. Not that someone has to cover for the poor defenseless media that seemingly can never be held accountable for their part.
I once read 'power of mediocrity' or something like that that I saw here on HN. that article talked about the fact that it's ok to do things just to enjoy them as opposed to getting better at them.

since then I don't worry about my rating anymore, just playing on lichess without loggin in, just to have fun.

You don't need a personal chef to cook non processed food at home, not even a stay at home housewife of 60's. This is the most privileged thing I hear Americans repeating. All the raw ingredients are there at your supermarkets, cheap prices compared to your wages. I've seen it with my own eyes from visiting. It's just laziness and saving time, billions of people around the world cook at home from raw ingredients. They also go to work.

People are lazy and prefer to replace it with netflix which I don't have a problem with until people lie to themselves and others about the reasons.
Power hours can definitely get you utterly trashed, but I think a big reason people would stop/slow down half way through those is that it's a bit physically uncomfortable. I don't think I could do a power hour with non-alcoholic beer right now if you paid me. I agree 10 drinks an hour is super rare though. Just saying if I absolutely had to do that for some reason I'd go with vodka not beer.

I worked in this sort of space for awhile. You got it in your last paragraph. Downtime costs money. Not only does downtime cost money, service calls do too. You get a guy who knows exactly how to fix it out on site and he shows up and has the wrong part and he costs 200 bucks an hour. You can burn 4 hours just waiting for a part. We were having a lot of good luck adding some sensors, remote diagnostic, and pre-diagnostic. That way you could schedule a downtime for a part swap out and have the right part on hand. Programming and remote control was near the bottom of that money stack. Like you said most of the stuff is PLC and relay logic. Sometimes you get lucky and there is a decent computer in the middle and you can scan that, but be careful as the 485 line may already be saturated with commands.
I had the worst of both worlds in the late 2000s when I was trying to learn on my own.

There were printed books where the code didn't work. There were also message board posts that described my exact problem. The only response would be from the OP himself, usually a "never mind, figured it out" thing, with no further details given.
Apparently you weren't there when FB had APIs, Farmville et al, and got rich on people developing things on their "plarform".
(not a financial professional, not advice)

You need at least 40 "credits" over your working life to be eligible for social security benefits. Each calendar year you can earn up to 4 "credits", which in 2021 corresponds to $1470 in earnings that are taxed. So it definitely makes sense to earn the credits every year e.g. $6000 in 2021. SSDI looks at the last 10 years of earnings if you're older than 30, which still incentivizes hitting that minimum target.

As for the actual income in retirement, that is a complex subject. For example, the optimal money move is to continue working to full retirement age, but you may want to take the early retirement option (even if the payout is smaller) to enjoy the extra healthy years.
Just n = 1 as well, but I’ve been drinking around 3 litres of diet coke per day for the past 15-20 years and haven’t had any adverse physical effects.
In the 9-5's defense, a good chunk of my "downtime" at work is due to waiting on other people and/or not having something I can make progress on.

I would love less than a 40 hour work week where the effort is more concentrated, but after a certain point you just can't expect full productivity in a shorter space of time.
Most games have extremely tight margins. Taking away 30% of their revenue means that many of them fails and will never make another game or that their budget for the next game becomes significantly lower. Both of those hurts the consumers interests.

If it was just 5% or so then sure it wouldn't be very noticeable, but just taking 30% outright is huge and will push many from being viable businesses to being forced to stop. The appstore isn't like steam which gets you a huge ecosystem of extra features for your games and tons of marketing. I'd pay extra to be able to add a game to steam even if I bought it elsewhere simply because steam adds so many other things.
Why have taxes at all, if this is your argument?

I've been a pretty bad alcoholic the past few years. I'm young though. And I'm fairly heavy set too.

My "high score" on a breathalyzer is 0.4%, and that was black out barfey drunk for me.

When in college, NO ONE I knew was able to reach even close to that. If you treat it like a math problem, sure, 1 drink = 0.02.

But in reality, when you can't walk, your body vomits a lot of it out, and friends stop you from drinking, etc. A college aged person without much tolerance can almost never reach that level.

In my AA, no one has gotten close to that. .6 at the most at their worst.
Until you become a monopoly, then it becomes more complex.
Hum... What?

Are you sure you are on the correct thread?
LJ was awesome! I feel like Mastodon is kiiiinda similar modern-day equivalent (despite the Twitter-mimicry). Huh, now that I say that "out loud", that's interesting - I had never thought of it until now. It seems to really capture that "share your world but also bring in others and socialize as narrowly or broadly as you want", along with sharing media and so on.
Does “coke” include non-cola flavoured beverages in parts of the US? Here in the UK we tend to call them “fizzy drinks” FWIW.
That was fun and a good throwback.

But it was interesting to see in the comments that MS actually claimed credit for it:

"It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding"
What we really need is to decouple IP service from the last-mile cable/DSL/fiber ISP, so they provide a dumb pipe to a nearby PoP where you can choose your IPv4/IPv6 provider.

This system would need to support MTU >= 1500, and enforce geographical locality so it doesn't get banned by Netflix.
Fixed, added a thank you for you in the console!

Twitch: Updates on the Twitch Security Incident
Setting aside whether this is hyperbole or not, not that I disagree with the claim generally,

one very real impact of their malfeasance is their reputation among their prospective and existing workforce.

It is not an exaggeration to say that I have never—not in 25 years in the industry—known or known of or read accounts of people who variously quit over their amorality, have turned down offers (including at VERY high levels) over it, or confronted recruiters with challenges around it (historically resulting in cessation of recruiting efforts; hottake: they will not be able to do that any longer, because it will winnow their pool too aggressively).

I myself harbor acute emnity to them and have been ignoring a persistent recruiter for many months over this; and am regularly down-voted here for saying what I'm going to say again:

If you work for them, quit.

If you do business with them, don't.

There should be consequences for this level of amorality. If you think it's the status quo, you're simply factually wrong; there is no shortage of other companies, working in related domains, who do not feel that damage to the health and wellbeing of either their clients or the society in which they operate is a natural, inevitable, and excusable cost of doing business.

They are not the root cause of, but are massive enabler of, forces which pose an existential threat to our democracy.

Their reputation is merely coming into alignment with a truth they have invested hundreds of millions of dollars suppressing.
> I would hazard it isn't your culture that is /embedded/ in the language, per se. It is more that your experiences are /compressed/ into your language.

Or perhaps it's this act of compression that creates an embedding of the culture in the language?

And even centuries later, when the compression isn't relevant anymore, there will still be remnants of the culture embedded in the language.
I guess I'm getting old since I don't find this that exciting.
Yes, a fair point. This person is a former reporter for CBC. For me I think it's fair to say that this is coming from CBC as the general tone of the article appears to endorse their former employee's viewpoint. Employees who are hired on, and then later brought back to discuss their views, to me at least, do shed light into the views of the organization.
lol, who thought Facebook had a lot of reputation, in the recent years? It is like smoking or doing drugs - every smoker knows it is bad, but they will still smoke and somehow rationalize it too. FB users are just addicted to it, and they know they are.
I think the bigger issue is when people rate ReDoS as higher severity than code execution vulns.

But ultimately, vuln lists are just lists not magic. You still have to apply them to your context.
All this discussion and I just want the extension.

So why does the US keep protecting these rent seekers? I have no idea why they do it. US courts literally said Apple is entitled to other people's money.

Does copyright benefit anyone other than US companies? I wonder if other nations would accept such a thing if the US didn't ram it down their throats via trade agreements.
