That title is very purposefully misleading, as Apple isn't by any means pro forced labor, just thinks that bill is written wrong:

years ago they would only call a warning when they had a confirmed visual on a touch down, I am not sure when they made the change but for at least the last few years (and probably longer) I have noticed them calling more and more warning based on radar signature alone
I'm not trying to shame Amazon; Not any more than I would be any other company. If this had been a Walmart or a Target or a Trader Joe's warehouse, I would have said the same.

When there's tornadoes about, the first thing companies should tell their workers is 'Find somewhere safe to shelter, don't worry about the job or reducing damage to the company. Just make sure you're safe' (and if located somewhere known for tornadoes, also providing adequate shelter) is the bare minimum that companies should be expected to do/provide.

Six people died in a <Company> warehouse. This shouldn't have happened, regardless of <Company>.
You could try the book "Haskell programming from first principles", there's a good introduction to lambda calculus in chapter 1 or 2.

Proceeding further in the Haskell-land might help even more, since Haskell is essentially typed lambda calculus.
This is exactly right. The crime stats are down because there is no point in making a report to a police force who won't make arrests because the DA won't prosecute. Simple as that. Blind reliance on "data" without reference to its inputs and construction is a recipe for bad decisions.

F# is how I learned about type providers:

http://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/CsvProvider....

But look at that syntax:

CsvProvider<"file.csv">.Load("file.csv")

The file name is listed twice! Conceivably a macro could hide that, but we'd still have the issue that the string has to be written fully. I.e., I can't just call a function to generate the string.

F# has Literals that mitigate some of this, but my understanding is that they are pretty limited:

https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/539

On the other hand, Empirical can perform automatic compile-time function evaluation on any legal expression, including across variables, user-defined functions, user-defined datatypes, etc.

func filename(n):
let value = String(n + 1)
return "/path/to/" + value + ".csv"
end

load(filename(7))

I could put the filename in a Dataframe embedded in my source, then reference the row/column I want. Empirical's automatic CTFE handles it.
Trailing-edge nodes are not "bad". They have plenty of use and do get improved over time. Beyond that, stuff like 7nm and 5nm is simply not viable for anything that's not going to be fabbed in huge amounts.
Neither of these sentiments are true.

There is a material difference between 'Whistleblowing' and 'Stealing and Releasing Data Because You Want To'.

Those releasing documents regarding arbitrary imprisonment of people because of their ethnicity are 'Whistleblowers'. I would argue that the release of the video showing US accidental killing of Journalistgs in the friendly fire incident, may fall under that.

But the diplomatic cable leaks I don't think constitute whistle blowing.

"Laws are basically just threats,"

Total rubbish, I can't fathom that someone would believe this.

The Law is the most foundational aspect of civilization, probably more important than democracy itself.

It's a set of codified rules that we roughly agree upon, or at least are aware of, that we are all equally subject to, not one above the other - or at least it's supposed to be, and when it's not, we consider that a form of corruption.

Assange is possibly guilty of the crime of breaking into private government systems to release arbitrary data to the public, which is probably a crime.

When the trial starts, we'll get to see the evidence, one of the advantages of living in a Western Liberal Democracy is that most of this information is available to anyone, another key aspect of a functional Judicial System BTW.

The companies are paying exactly what the price tag says it is worth: $0. What is so surprising about that? If you want companies to not “freeload” then change the price tag for companies.
Right that’s like an order of magnitude less than you’d get off an exercise bike.
> People just don’t report repeated minor crimes because, what difference does it make?

Yup. Living in big cities trying to file police reports against broken windows or attempted theft is a frustrating exercise. Police officers have straight up told me they wont bother to investigate or improve security but they can give me a police report number to file a claim against insurance. If it's under the insurance deductible, why bother?
How old was your kid? My daughter was riding a normal bike without training wheels at 3 years 11 months thanks to learning on a balance bike. She's the youngest and had the benefit of watching her older siblings so YMMV.

Reading this thread you'll see a lot of the balance bike proponents saying the same thing: that their kids were riding normal bikes by age 3.
Ideally you’d just remove the word ‘as’ for the most concise and correct sentence.
The term "breakthrough case" is a complete misnomer. It's misinformation because it implies that these are somehow rare events.

Coronavirus vaccines don't _prevent_ cases. They somewhat reduce incidence/transmission, and dramatically reduce adverse outcomes.

If you go outside during a storm with an umbrella and still get wet, it's not "breakthrough rain", it's just... rain.
The lingua franca wasn't "the language of the Franks", it was an elaborate pidgin used for Mediterranean trade that encompassed a lot of broadly Romance features with a vastly simplified grammar and a vocabulary core that could be described as most closely resembling a mixture of Occitan southern France and Savoyard (which are both, admittedly, umbrella terms that incorporate rather a large number of dialects). The term lingua franca has gone on to mean any (usually simplified) language that's used to communicate between groups - like Swahili in large parts of east Africa (it is by far the simplest of the Bantu languages, and has only a relatively small population of native speakers).
im just commenting to say youre right and the guy advocating censorship is wrong and it’s very disturbing to see you downvoted
Yes, everyone has got an uncle or a cousin or a buddy they knew once who was involved in some ancillary way on the outskirts of the Apollo Simulation, which they take as being absolute proof that it was 100% real. They even angrily call me names, and of course, absolutely refuse to review any of the concrete evidence that the whole thing was, in fact, a fraud.

Just like you did, just now. I still haven't heard your explanation of how a large diameter rocket nozzle, which we are told was firing for the entire descent, with 10 psi of hot gases escaping from its large volume, failed to disturb so much as a speck of dust underneath the 'lander.' That's only the most obvious of many glaring plot holes in the script.

If you were to, say, enter 'evidence that the moon landing was fakee' into any search engine, naively thinking such evidence would be presented to you, instead you would get only page after page of laughter, ridicule, and condescension--and none of the actual evidence. Certainly you would never, ever be presented with the name of the very first book on the subject, which launched moon landing skepticism into the mainstream in the early 70s. Nowhere in the first ten pages of results is this man or his book mentioned.

The book is called We Never Went To The Moon by Bill Kaysing, who was a technical writer for the Saturn V rocket program at Rocketdyne. Wouldn't you think a man with such a background would be worth listening to? Google doesn't think so.

Another book of interest is NASA Mooned America, by Ralph Rene. This one is more technical in nature, and drives the final nails in the coffin. Google also pretends this one doesn't exist.

If you type the author and name of the book into Google followed by the keyword 'pdf' however, it will take you right to it on the first page. At least it did as of a year ago. Funny how that works.

Read those books, then come back and tell me again how sure you are.

When you find out how fake and full of lies the world really is, you're going to be pissed.
Homes have basements and other structures that can be more secure during tornadoes than other structures. And most importantly, people are familiar with where those safer places are in their own homes, so that when the power goes out and the wind blowing so hard and loud that it breaks their windows, they still know where to go and how to get there quickly and safely.

There are often storm shelters in areas hit by weather like this, and there was ample warning about this storm system, so at least some of those that don't feel safe in their homes could have sheltered somewhere else if they were free to do so.
The problem with publicly disclosing a recommendation algorithm is that it makes it easier to game. But I guess everyone would be able to game it equally.
true - a good portion of your population is, for all intents and purposes, insane at the moment. I think you'd have to end the two-party system before anything better could happen because that's a HUGE driver of the conflict.

Operating procedure at a former workplace in Texas was that during a Tornado Warning sheltering in a designated tornado shelter was mandatory.

You can do some level of dynamic asset loading. The real issue to get around in Unity is dynamic script loading. There's some progress being made with Unity's new visual scripting system. The visual scripts are stored as assets.
I understand it perfectly. Log4j is used in many Enterprise systems. Java is a fairly conservative language. Combine both together and you get much hesitancy to break backwards compatibility ingrained in the Java world.
> I had to work with fixed-size ASCII strings that are not NUL-terminated and are, instead, padded with spaces at the end.

When I have strings on performance-critical paths, unless they’re too long for a good reason, I sometimes pad them with \0 and limiting them to 16- or 32-bytes length. This way I can pass strings in a vector register by value (i.e. __m128i or __m256i data type in C++), and they’re very efficient to deal with. For instance, comparing them for equality only takes two instructions, vpxor and vptest (_mm_xor_si128 and _mm_testz_si128 intrinsics for 16-byte vectors), that’s 3-4 cycles of latency, an order of magnitude better than comparing traditional C or C++ strings.

I don’t have any experience with dlang though, not sure how easy or hard to implement that in D.
TV is still a thing--get a small antenna to pick up your local stations. Growing up in tornado alley we always had a local TV news station on during severe weather. They cut out of regular broadcasting and usually have a live play by play with the weatherman showing radar and locations of known funnel clouds, etc. If you're going to live there make a plan for future severe weather like this--it's nothing you want to sleep through.
Look at the photos—the panels that make up the exterior wall are segmented into narrow vertical strips. There’s not much you can do about a direct hit across all the cells.

I think that point is that untargeted ads _are_ less effective; they can't be more manipulative precisely because they don't have knowledge about who they're being presented to, so they have to try to go for broad shallow appeal instead of deep and narrow.

Not true for all phones. I know I checked with at least one of my older phones (a Samsung Galaxy) and it could not do radio.

From my reading of it, it was (12 days ago) "here's a pull request to remove a feature." And for a bit over a week it went through the normal process and got merged into the code 7 days ago.

Then three days ago someone asked "Is it a security vulnerability" and then everything happened.

This wasn't any great "there's a security bug that needs to be patched yesterday" and then a fix and release but rather an after the fact, when looking at it, was it realized the scope of the issue.

This type of warehouse building is extremely pervasive right now. Having worked in an amazon facility and several other 'modern' warehouses, they all share the same design. It's prefabbed concrete sections held in place by steel support columns. Steel truss structure holding roof with steel I-beams providing support to roof. Any modern warehouse struck by the same inclement weather will suffer the same exact fate.

Will add that the weather affecting this particular facility was extreme by any measure but most facilities that occupy the tornado alley should seriously consider this. My facility had a shelter in place policy in case of inclement weather which basically means, everyone(800-1k people?) huddle into 4, 6 person bathrooms.

Amazon Leased the building I worked in, so kind of removes them from blame of structural failure, but maybe not he decision to occupy the building during known severe weather.
Okay, yes, but to date, to a first approximation, nobody does that. And yes, that's unfortunate, but in the world we live in, and the world we will live in for the near future, environment variables seem no worse than any other option, regardless of ways that other options could be made better.

>The fall of TV

You mean in your daily in-take of media? Local TV stations are required to broadcast weather. It's actually part of their licensing. So if you're not in the habit of turning on the local station because of crappy programming (like me), then you should at least be willing to find a local station during weather. Even if regular programming is on, they will break in when requested by the NWS. Local radio will as well, but I can't remember the last time I heard Clearcom or whatever the othe station owner is do this. I just don't listen to radio.

Also, most local stations will also be running live webcasts to FB/YT/etc. They do this in order to avoid interrupting programming until it is urgent enough to do so.

I'm in North Texas, and during severe weather season, I have a web browser permantely tuned to the radar. If it's getting bad, I'll find a local station.

these types of "splits" have always confused me a bit. I guess Apple provides certain constraints - brightness, color accuracy, etc - and both manufacturers must meet those requirements.

But OLED displays are such complex things! Surely there must be some noticeable/functional difference between a "Samsung-display iPhone" and a "BOE-display iPhone" ? Slightly different viewing angle? Blues are a bit less saturated? Burn-in happens a few dozen hours sooner? 5% difference in power efficiency?

Yeah, a couple years ago I had to decide what version of Java to use in an environment where it needed to run for as long as possible with minimal maintenance, and I found myself in the weird position of intentionally shipping 8 because it had longer support than the newer versions we could have used. It's a weird position, but rational.
I haven't had a phone with built in radio, but back in the late 0s I had an ipod with a built in FM radio, and it was the coolest radio I ever had. You could pause and rewind it like a tivo. I assume the radio on a smart phone would be about the same.
Thinking of what jobs this would be a thing...all of them. Turn your damn ringers off at work people!!!
