>If 'the West' is primarily made up of people who think like you then good riddance.

The majority of the world is made up of people like like me. It's totally fine to have a homeland for your people, unless you're European.

>OTOH, the rest of us are adaptable and curious.

Then you should travel to different countries to experience different cultures.

>We like new cultural synthesis; new immigrants are a source of fun new restaurants, new media/arts, and new ideas to explore.

This is an NPC meme. Hope all those Truck of Peace attack victims were enjoying their new restaurants as they were slaughtered.

>People like you have been sounding the call of 'non-White people are coming! Our culture is doomed!' for mellennia,

It's within the past 50-100 years, not millennia.

>and thankfully no one really cares what you think.

Apparently you, several other leftists here, and the growing right-wing parties in Europe absolutely care what I think.

>We will keep progressing and leave you to stew in your ignorance and spite.

Just like Afghanistan "progressed" this past six months no doubt.

>For more than 2000 years people complained about the barbarians invading,

Legitimately, and they were pushed back and expelled.

>but once we learn to ignore your shrill cries we look around and the barbarians are nowhere to be seen,

Because they were pushed out, slaughtered, and their culture wasn't integrated.

> just a bunch of new citizens with interesting new ideas.

Islam is neither interesting, nor does it have any ideas worth integrating into the West.
Fellow actors criticise William Shatner’s space flight
It's incredibly unsettling that discussions like these seem to be fought tooth and nail on the internet of all places in this day and age.

It seems like we would never have gotten this far if it wasn't for the kind of interactions you are defending and yet you are entangled in a debate with someone who likely grew up in a society where this approach to interaction was championed throughout their life who is simultaneously insisting that it's more harm than good.

More unsettling is the fact that when I read the sentence:

>How do you define harm? Here's a salient conundrum: a guy asks a girl out, she tells him she's not interested. Or the obverse, however you like it. In either case they're very likely emotionally wounded. Then what? What do we take from this?

I began to wonder whether if I said that in public I would end up in a lot of trouble and possibly fired for daring to suggest that being rejected could hurt the feelings of the person being rejected in an equally valid way as it may make the person being asked out feel uneasy.

I eagerly await the day when I do not constantly feel terrorized by the threat of becoming socially outcast for saying something which should be entirely benign but which has become taboo.
That would be like me calling every lefty a Marxist. It doesn't help.

At the core of every ideology - left and right - are some valid ideas - that is how it got adherents in the first place. A certain degree of social homogeneity is needed because it represents a shared basic idea about how civilization is to proceed.

Now, the Nazis enforced their extreme vision of absolute social homogeneity by means of death chambers... nobody in this thread suggested anything even hinting at that.
> Any company its only purpose is profit.

This isn't true for any company, not even investment banks. When people start companies, money is seldom a major reason, and as they grow they get a life of their own. Even large companies are run by people, people with feelings, insecurities, ambitions.

An incredibly wealthy leader of a large corporation is not really motivated by money, he wants more status, he want to look cool, he wants to indulge his fantasies.

Saying companies only exist to make money is just silly.

They are literally the victims. Elizabeth Holmes made representations which she knew to be false to secure investments. That is explicitly fraud.

That investors may have been foolish and greedy does not take away from the fact that Holmes acted to deceive them.

I was not talking about translations only.

Formats for dates and money are available in almost every programming language as library. You don't have to invent this yourself. The same for timezones, as long als all dates in your DB are UTC.

And inputs for phone numbers and addresses fall in the category of 'Falsehood programmers believe about...'.

If you store your data normalized all the programming language locale libraries make your life easy.

I don't see what communism has to do with everyone needing to be employed full time. That's just what they made of it in the USSR etc.

There were a lot of warning signs and even if the VC had invested already the could have killed it before it all collapsed in a giant media scandal.

Same goes for SpaceX's point to point travel. It will never happen and there are many warning signs pointing to this fact. For example in their presentation they list a large list of cities, many of those are completely out of the question. So in essence a blatant lie.

Sure SpaceX probably wont go under because they have some real projects but it is quite questionable for a company to make such claims knowing it will never meet them.
I disagree. It's ok. But it doesn't even have a DAG viewer. What kind of GUI doesn't even have `git log --tree`?

Hopefully that's just because VSCode didn't allow arbitrary widgets until recently. Presumably they're working on it.
Importantly, and this is why Emacs users tend to love Magit, the workflow integrates well with rest of Emacs. Your staging and diff buffers are just that - Emacs buffers. Meaning all your quality-of-life configurations and extensions are available as well.

For example, the fact that you can just jump around the buffer and stage/unstage things as you go, means you're free to use whatever you most like for that "jumping around" part. Incremental search? Sure. Ace-jump? Yes. M-x occur? If you must.

Magit on a bare-bones Emacs is extremely ergonomic on its own, but if you use and adapt Emacs for yourself, all the improvements compound on each other.
Energy crunch hits global recovery as winter approaches
> The problem isn’t Facebook, a private company, seeking profits.

Because of the last few decades of weak law enforcement, lying and breaking the law is seeking profits.

Most large companies make very calculated decisions to break the law while weighing the risk of getting caught. In many cases, the fines are tolerable when considering much larger profit.

Take a look at WooCommerce. There's a lot in a fully featured eCommerce site. Don't roll your own when you don't have to.

If you want to 'own the code' that's special to your particular eCommerce site, write your own plugins for that.
Then fire them.
As long as you don’t break the laws and..

You have some “values” which allow you to ignore anything else that may compromise your profits for the sake of them

And as long as you have a free market (gasp) and investors that only care about EPS and other profit related metrics..

Under these constraints you get companies that promote these toxic environments under the slogans of “bring communities closer together” etc etc
Of course they do, it's just they don't care as much as they do about profit. This isn't as bad as it sounds. If you don't look after your profit, you don't stay in business.

That doesn't mean you have to make obscene profits (compared to their burn rate) but most organisations don't, just a few headliners.
>Because there's a risk they turn out like you, instead of being a desirable citizen.

You're exactly right. Citizens that fund the government, created the inventions of the Western world that have revealed the world onto itself, can think for themselves and don't want to fall off the cliff like lemmings are no longer "desirable citizens". We need NPC leftists that will continue to support the fall of their culture, country, and lifestyles!

To you "desirable citizen" is a baizou [0].

We already have encoders in our fingers, however we have delays in electronics that will aggregate the data. The next hand model will have feedback.

However, the real problem is refining the manufacturing process to be repeatable. Too many things are done "by eye" at the moment.
In the ‘small platform that sticks out’ sense the English equivalent would be ‘projection’ (interesting that that comes from a Latin root of ‘something that is thrown forward’, while the German word is more ‘something that jumps forward’), but in the context of the phrase the other meanings of that word would dominate.

There’s definitely a sense of ‘getting a head start’, ‘being at an advantage’ to Vorsprung that is hard to capture in a single English word.

Perhaps one way to translate it would be: Privilege through technology
Fair point. It has held up in a single state court of appeals, so I was definitely wrong about this being without substance on appeal, but the jurisdiction of the ruling is quite small and I am unaware of anything federal backing the claims being made.

My reaction to this headline is, if you want someone to care about you, call your mother.

Most of the world doesn't care about you, and it's not a scandal, it's just how reality works.

The whole problem with Facebook is that we somehow ever trusted that it was not motivated by profit, and shared the most intimate details of our lives with it. Stupid fucks, us.
Do people really think that having unorthodox ideas and being smart are the same thing?
>> Does the fediverse make the server you join irrelevant?
In theory, but in the beginning, an instance aligned with your interests will make it easier to find like-minded people to follow. The instances may also have different rules how you should behave. And you can run into problems when your instance admin bans another instance with which you would like to communicate, or you instance gets banned by them. Just the perils of online drama in small communities I guess. Running your own instance could help here, though.

Yeah, I cut the board I ordered into 4 stripes, rotated them for 90 degrees and glued back together with purpleheart veneer in between, to get the core/neck part.

I really wanna build one almost completely from bamboo (with various veneers to get some accents/lines in) but it's really hard to source boards now. Meh... but yeah, who would have thought that "tonegrass" would become a term someday haha.
I'm excited for the game, but I understand your position -- I don't like it either. The effect is lessened a bit, for me, by remembering that it's just the one guy doing all of this.

Plus, we don't know that the sounds/tileset aren't just placeholders to allow him to release the trailer's vertical slice! I appreciate that this is unlikely, but still! What we recognize as normal development practices don't necessarily apply to a studio of one.
You're right when you say that the discretionary spending of the ultra-rich doesn't matter, but there are consequences to increasing or decreasing the percentage of capital they control.

If you e.g. diluted the S&P 500 by 20% and spread the new shares equally across the global population, it would definitely cause "something of global consequence" to happen, although I have no idea whether it would be world war 3 or a utopia.
How many of us heard this story: company founders smell something where money can be earned, start a company, hire a bunch of people and start spreading all the bells and whistles of the tech company have, but actually, it wasn't yet developed. I heard numerous times when founders/CEOs of companies I worked before announced that "we" have something, but we (engineering) didn't even hear for that. The problems start when those promises have to be met.

I can't say I blame her for this, but I'm amazed how she managed to get funds without proper due diligence. For serious investments, VCs usually go through everything and have a good nose to smell bullsh*t. I guess (for this case) it was a good reference from influential individuals and politicians that probably (in this or that way) influenced VCs judgments.

This is about deliberate mind control and behavioral manipulation. For profit. It's disingenuous to claim it's all about free market consumers when you are brainwashing and twisting people. Keep in mind the users are really not the customers anymore. The people posting here are quite a bit higher on the intelligence scale than the general public, who don't really have good critical thinking skills. When you see what happened on Jan 6 I can't find an illustration to prove the point better. FB needs to be regulated for the safety of country. Unless we're all for nihilism. FB is a parasite.
They're not pretending to be stupid. It's that they think their question might be stemming from not understanding something fundamental that everyone else in the room already knows.

If you think they're being disingenuous because you think they do understand what's going on, then it actually supports why they feel the need to preface their question with that phrase. You expect that they know it, so they make questions around it less jarring by admitting that they probably don't know enough.
I never really got into "Papers, Please" but "Return of the Obra Dinn" is one of the best video games I have ever played.

Not having to reveal the passcode has been the rule for a while.

Not being allowed to bring that refusal up as evidence of guilt on Fifth Amendment grounds during the trial is new. (And correct.)
Times have changed. Perhaps I should have appended "anymore" to my comment to make it more clear.
I think the reality is there is no free-software alternative, because the entire user experience is based on ecosystem buy-in where every media source (Netflix/Amazon/YouTube/Hulu/HBO, even NPR/PBS and Chrome itself) all actively have support for the Cast flows within their products (some only in their native apps, but many in their web experiences as well).
> It is naive to think that they will ever change. It is only going to get worse.

Why? Exploitative monopolies have been dismantled in the past, robber barons have been held to account. It takes further innovation combined with collective action, political will, and forceful regulation.
> As long as you don’t break the laws

Facebook getting fined for breaking laws may as well be a weekly column at this point.
For all of the bad people using tools like Tor, there are also plenty of good (and more importantly, innocent) people. Researchers, journalists, minorities, residents of oppressive regimes.

>Distributed Training: Gloo is now supported for distributed training jobs.

This is very interesting. Can someone talk about the roadmap of pytorch here ? It seems everyone is kinda rolling their own -

Pytorch has a very confusing distribution story

- OpenAI runs Pytorch on Kubernetes with handrolled MPI+SSH

- https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/dist_overview.html

- https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/distributed.elastic.html

- https://pytorch.org/torchx/latest/

- https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/components/training/pytorch/

- Pytorch-Biggraph is specifically using torch.distributed with gloo (with an MPI backend).

So here's the question - if ur a 2 person startup that wants to do Pytorch distributed training using one of the cloud-managed EKS/AKS/GKE services... what should you use ?
Of course they do. That leader would get the boot ASAP if he chooses any goal other than making money as he is behest to investors who expect a maximized return to their investment.

Companies where your scenario can play out are the exception and not the rule. Not that the motivations you wrote are much better for society.

I am speaking here about large companies that can have impact on a societal level, not your small mom and pop business.
So do both?

There are plenty of paper cuts due to the differences of funding between Firefox and the other browsers. IndexedDB and ContentEditable are both a bit more weird and buggy in Firefox than in Chromium. Often when I release a new feature, we find out it’s buggy in some old version of Firefox on a specific Linux distribution that’s doing something a little odd to Firefox’s source code or build process.
> I guess you need to be a bad person from the get-go to be able to keep a smiling face in that place.

I have a close friend who works there. He's a moral person and disagrees with the social changes that Facebook has caused.

But if you ask him why he works there, he has a few standard responses:

- Most of the employees at Facebook are good and push back against Zuckerberg's harmful decisions.

- If all the good people leave, who will be left to push back?

- If I don't do this work, someone else will.

- These decisions have nothing to do with me.

All of these things are true and (I'd argue) bullshit. But history's greatest crimes and genocides were perpetrated by organizations of people who made many of these same excuses.

The core problem is that any large organization is guaranteed to be psychopathic. It's large and therefore powerful, which means small ethical compromises can cause a lot of harm. And also because it's large, every constituent can say, "Well, I didn't decide to do this." It's like a massive ouji board or a firing squad, where everyone is contributing to a concerted action, but no one feels responsible.

> Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard economist and author of “The Curse of Cash”, argues that economists are more temperamentally inclined to talk about cutting-edge concepts like QE than the prosaic question of how banknotes are actually produced. “Economists tend to think ‘it’s not Keynesian macro so it doesn’t matter’,” he said.

That fucker's definitely got a bee in his bonnet about Keynesian macroeconomics. But after his Excel fiasco -- that was him, wasn't it? -- he knows he's too much of a laughing stock to dare come out against it in the open, so he's reduced to petty knee-height snipes like this. Hope he chokes on his bile.

"But we can use it to amplify 'the right' stories, and bury 'hateful' ones!"

No, you can't. And the more and more power you give Facebook to shape morality, the more you'll find that society's morality is guided by what companies consider profitable.
