I think its curious someone who has admitted they think others dying is funny is trying to judge what I choose to defend.

Can you please provide evidence I only defend antivaxxers? Maybe go look at my previous post in which I say anyone making fun of someone else dying is disgusting. This is the third time you have put words in my mouth. Once again stop. You need to learn to argue without making stuff up to defend your point.
Not a good look for Apple.

I understand Apple wanting to maintain their culture of secrecy about their products but their PR and HR people should know that the culture certainly does not have to extend to internal personnel issues.

Why should we trust them when they do stuff like this? Even if she was acting improperly w.r.t. company proprietary information I'd have thought that competent PR folk would know to never fire someone in a position like this because there's no way the company can look good in the aftermath.
Or they might think the world is composed of opinions and not based in testable reality.
I've seen nothing which amazes me in it. The last thing which came near to amaze me was the SFX in the intro of Raised by Wolves where the ship suddenly pops out of hyperspace through a suddenly appearing disc-like membrane, stretching it until it bursts, to speed down to the planet, and membrane vanishes. Just a few seconds. The rest? Utterly forgettable.

It's like having a Cheeseburger. Or a Banana. Not even an Apple.

> If someone else wants to claim my work as theirs, it's annoying

yeah, this is probably it. It's just annoying that they have taken credit for my work while intentionally excluding me from the credit.

I don't have enough time or money to engage them on a legal level so I guess we'll just see how it plays out.
Agreed. This is design insanity and I can't believe it has become nearly standard practice

The apps are immaterial, she deleted things off her phone during an investigation. The reporting here is to make you think Apple is crazy for doing so, "Apple fired her for deleting a kids game app? What a bunch of weirdos."
I can't recall any major security lapses with online banking, which would seem to be fairly exceptional for a segment of the economy of its size. And, as far as I can tell, there is some pretty impressive technology being used in market operations (both secure & incredibly fast) as well as trading.

So, while I am sure it can often look like a comedy of errors from the inside, I'm less certain that it is worse than any other sector. Nor would I ascribe such problems on the tired scapegoat of MBAs: plenty of tech people have been promoted to management in the past, and if their results were obviously better, even the most corrupt country club management would have to change their ways at some point.
Lots of reasons. Sometimes concurrency is a relatively soft need where you could get by with multiple processes, but it would be nice if the language itself provided some capability for things like threads. Or your dev team is much more familiar with python than with other languages, and the time to retrain and rewrite would be greater than the benefits. Or the rest of the language could have greater issues and you don't want to give up excellent libraries like numpy.

I got into knot tying over the pandemic and it's pretty great stuff to know! Being able to tie down loads, moor a boat, hang a hammock, etc, using regular ass rope is a good skill to have!

My list of recommended knots:

1. End of line fixed loop: bowline (or double bowline for extra security).

2. Mid-line loop: butterfly.

3. Tying a down a load: truckers hitch, using a butterfly for the loop

4. Basic hitch: Buntline (or slipped buntline)

5: Hitch under tension: backhanded hitch

6: tying two ropes together: butterfly bend, or double sheet bend for different sized ropes

Cool to know but kind of impractical:
-tumble hitch (exploding hitch)
-constrictor knot
-blakes hitch
Many countries are using ivermectin...Mexico, India, it's even being prescribed in the US and UK. What it is missing is quality studies, but there are millions of prescriptions being written based off of clinical discretion.

So yes, there are more countries, and many ARE accepting ivermectin for treating COVID. And again, I don't know or care if it works, I'm vaccinated and wouldn't take it, nor am I a conspiracy theorist, your point is just not correct.
Almost everything is pretty simple "once you nail the concepts". It's getting to the point where you have the concepts nailed that is the measuring stick for complexity.
The DA did not put up numbers showing that thefts have gone down. The DA put up numbers showing that reports of thefts have gone down.

Those are different things, don't you think?

Why would someone report a theft of under $1000 in SF when going outside and yelling at the sky would be precisely as likely to result in something being done?
`.decode` doesn't work on strings because you decode bytes! PYthon has UTF strings!

I agree about the annoyance of the codec modules, and stuff like the urllib reorg happening on 3.0 instead of shifting it to later releases (and self-owns like the u prefix). But if you're calling `decode` on a string you have a bug in hiding, from the moment that your "code that handles encodings transparently" blows up when someone gives you a file that isn't UTF-encoded.

> I’m curious how Pokémon Go and her (presumably personal) Robinhood account were pertinent to whatever investigation they were conducting

Her work phone is pertinent to the investigation, and I'm more curious how she thought it was a good idea to have her personal Pokémon Go and Robinhood accounts on her work phone.

Edit: Incoming downvotes but this will stand — a work phone is not your phone! You should not be trusting it as such, and should not expect personal privacy on it (and the ability to delete things from an investigation). She worked at a tech company that made phones; there's no plea to ignorance here.

> Tether is not a US-based company. So does US have the authority to shut them down?

You are talking about a country that managed to force foreign banks to rat on US citizens accounts abroad. You are talking about a country that conducts drone assassinations on their own citizens overseas, without trial.

USA has de-facto authority on a lot of country where they feel entitled to (hard power), save maybe from Russia or China and India mainly. Russia because they actually have little ties with USA economically and politically since the war in Libya, China because of the exact opposite as it poses a systemic risk to USA, India because they don't trust the US who are "allied" with Pakistan.

Often when USA and the EU clash, ultimately the EU tend to bend the knee (soft power). The Trump era was a significant exception.

Is it really ironic?

The US is saying "we don't care if you market your product as a currency, all we see is a product. If you say it is redeemable for something, it actually better be or we fine you. But it doesn't matter to us if it is redeemable for anything, just make that match how you advertise it."

People care way more about this than government regulators do. The derivatives regulators looked at it, found something that affected the spot market based on confidence alone, and got their fine and a company agreement to match so people can be more objective about their confidence.
Good take, very much agree. That’s why so many of the antitrust work against Google/FB, etc. has focused on acquisitions. They become successful, then use their data and infinite money printers to buy anyone who would compete.

No. "Pump[ing]" by buying something is entirely legal. And the price should come down just as much when you are trying to cash in, so the mechanism doesn't really work, or anyone with enough money could just do it repeatedly using whatever traded asset they want.

"Pump and dump" refers to promoting some investment by other means, usually spreading some false news.

Almost everyone rightfully dug into the payment model, which is definitely super shady, but I'll be the outlier and argue that the premise—as detailed in this summary—sounds awful.

Did you read the article?

The 'myths' it discusses are all absolutes along the lines of "it's impossible for old people to learn anything" or "old people hate computers and will never use them". The myths are constructed so that there is no possibility they are correct, and yet in the conclusion they still say there is some truth to them!

Anyway, "old people tend to be confused by websites significantly more than other groups" and "it's impossible to train an old person to know what search boxes are" are not remotely similar statements.

Let's look at the CDC website, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vac...

> Based on evolving evidence, CDC recommends fully vaccinated people get tested 5-7 days after close contact with a person with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

For many people, this description could apply to daily activity, e.g. riding on public transit. So the CDC is recommended regular testing of vaccinated people. Since the vaccine can suppress symptoms, testing can be used to detect infection earlier, enabling isolation and/or treatments which only work early in the progression of Covid.

In a July 2021 paper from academics advising UK SAGE, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/long-term-evoluti...

> Whilst we feel that current vaccines are excellent for reducing the risk of hospital admission and disease, we propose that research be focused on vaccines that also induce high and durable levels of mucosal immunity in order to reduce infection of and transmission from vaccinated individuals. This could also reduce the possibility of variant selection in vaccinated individuals.

Note the reference to transmission from vaccinated individuals. There was also a study of Vietnamese healthcare workers, showing that 70% of infections were pre-symptomatic, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733

> 69 healthcare workers were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. 62 participated in the clinical study. 49 were (pre)symptomatic ... Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people. Physical distancing measures remain critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant transmission.

How to Deal with Complexity Like a Pilot (Part 2)
Functional style does not allow for 'evolving' a value in multiple steps. In some sense this is the heart of the difference between functional style and other styles of programming.

Language features which are only possibly used in a non-functional style make me want to say that describing the language as 'functional' is either wrong or saying a language is 'functional' is a meaningless claim. If every language is functional, saying it is completely redundant.

I like your idea of saying FP style is idiomatic in that language might qualify the language as being described as 'functional', which I think agrees with my intuition that mutable strings being built in is evidence that calling that language 'Functional' is misleading or silly.
I think a better rule is "Treat an employer owned device as absolute kryptonite and avoid putting anything personal on it ever".

From what I can tell, Binomial Heaps also have a runtime analysis. Not sure what you’re referring to with “heapify.”

I would encourage others to ignore this snide comment. I have read other books from the authors, particularly Concrete Semantics, and it’s honestly incredible what can be achieved with Isabelle. Obviously it’s not going to be interesting if formal verification isn’t your thing, but if it is, the content is priceless.

I guess I’m just old school but I come from a time when I’d be fired for any negative public or even internal comments. And I’m ok with that.

I’d rather just quit than try to change a company this way. Or I’d just work into leadership and make executive decisions.

Or I’d start a company and do it my way.

I just don’t see leadership being convinced by me complaining on Twitter or starting an internal complaint slack channel. It’s good for complaining or winning a lawsuit, but don’t think it’s going to organically make change.

It’s sad this person lost their job, but seems reasonable to get fired if you delete things off company equipment when you’ve been directed not to do that.
You went from "10x the average" (which the claim is about) to 10x between arbitrary people: it's obvious why the latter is true (some people just need to terribly suck at something), it's harder to buy into the 10x the average performance because of... how hard it is to define (improvement in) performance when you are not starting off of (near) zero.

Perhaps, but what evidence leads you to that conclusion? The only facts that the article mentions are that she was fired for what Apple claims is the destruction of evidence related to an ongoing investigation, and what coworkers say is organizing a group to discuss internal issues. Seems like he-said/she-said right now, not “obvious retaliation”. Further evidence welcome.
Some Apple employees are reportedly required to link their personal iCloud with their work account/devices, so there's probably no bright line there. It could have been a personal device that was linked to her work account, or a work device linked to her personal iCloud.

Agree, I am confused why the surprise that somebody bad-mouth an employer publicly and get fired for it. Ask, if you were in a business, you have a problem employee who will not stop talking to press to make a public damage against your reputation. How can you handle this when this employee will not stop? Said person is now working against your company interests and not for.

Literally this is semantics. Literally, you are arguing about the definition of a word. So yes, by definition, you are quit literally arguing about what a word means, which is semantics.

These issues, plus the inability to build a standalone binary, are why many Python programmers have adopted Go. Other than maybe packaging, Go gets all these things right. It’s just a shame that the language itself isn’t as nice as Python.
