A quick search shows as of 2019, Fairphone's suppliers included the Chinese company O-Film [0], which at the time was using forced labor from Xinjiang. They probably had no way of knowing this; Apple [1] was burned by the same firm. The company transported Uyghur victims to a factory southern China (Jiangxi in the Bloomberg article), so Xinjiang wasn't indicated as part of the supply chain anywhere.

How much actual impact do these kinds of corporate efforts accomplish? How much merit should we credit these "best-effort" attempts, when when's all said and then, there's still (probably) concentration camp labor in the end product?

>"The Australian Strategic Policy Institute said in a report last year that Ofilm used at least 700 Uyghur laborers from Xinjiang at a factory in the southern province of Jiangxi. The workers were sent there in late April 2017 as part of a state-sponsored labor transfer program, the think tank said."

>"The Uyghurs were expected to “gradually alter their ideology” and express gratitude to China’s ruling Communist Party for their work assignments, the think tank said, citing Chinese-language news articles."

You're on this site, so you're probably an economically valuable human with social connections to other economically valuable humans. If that's the case, then you're not the ideal target for corrupt people abusing their power. You would create too much of a ruckus if people in power started unfairly abusing you.

Privilege creates a bubble that can easily blind you to the abuses that are actively happening all around you. You and I often don't hear about those abuses because we humans can only really keep track of a couple hundred other humans, and there are over 300 million in the US alone. There could absolutely be millions of people getting abused by people in power who don't have the education to understand that they're being abused or the social connections push their stories out to people who could do something about it.

As a simple example, white Americans see videos emerging of innocent black Americans getting violently abused by police in a way we can't even fathom in our privilege, and black Americans are completely unsurprised, saying "yeah, this is totally normal. We've been trying to tell you about it for decades but you never believed us." Trevor Noah has a good dialog on this, https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow/status/877533496515989506

There's also an element of "everyone hates the violent young men in their community until the barbarians are pounding down the city gates". Or like Fauci said early in the pandemic, something to the effect of "if we do a good job, everyone will wonder why we overreacted about nothing." More often than not, bad things don't happen precisely because of the efforts of people assuming they're definitely going to happen, which then leads to the next generation that never experienced the bad things wondering why we're wasting effort on this thing that doesn't happen.

The maths of linear distortion. A concise self-contained tutorial
> Most people are not advanced coders and will never be. So most people still have to trust a random coder (be it close friend or someone on the news or online). If something happens to your money because someone took advantage of you in the code then good luck getting anything back. At least with banks there are laws around this stuff and you can actually get your money back. For average person this is still the way to go.

That's certainly true. However, you have the option to learn, and the option to review it yourself. You also have the option to choose which experts to delegate your trust to. Whether or not this system is better than the system of just trusting big banks a lot with no ability to verify personally is up to you. It is, however, a novel trust model, and one that it's clear that some people prefer.

I think it's also clear that this model has advantages over the other. The traditional model has advantages as well. Neither is strictly better in all dimensions. Almost no technology is strictly better than its predecessor in all dimensions, though.

Can I confirm my understanding here?

Start with a public key pair.

Use some mechanism (?) to affirm that your legal identity is tied to that pair.

Affirm ownership of some work with a IRL legal statement (plaintext)

Hash the statement with the pair.

Publish.

In order to "sell" just affirm transfer of ownership to another key, hash your statement (let's call it SYN) then they do same for a similar accepting statement (ACK) and you then SYN ACK)

I mean this is a very powerful toolset.

My point is that women are held to higher standards about how they look and dress, and that’s why there’s not an equally successful woman that wears jeans and a hoodie to work. I can’t even think of a single example… but I can list like 5 dudes in the same category off the top of my head.
That’s not what we’re talking about: if I hire a lawyer to review a contract, they’re not making decisions based on a need to boost USD to protect their ability to find a buyer.

Similarly, while they’re both fiat currencies the USD is orders of magnitude stronger (inordinately more use, links to durable value, etc.) which means that my hypothetical lawyer’s ability to shift the value is extremely small.

Even actual government officials have relatively little power this way: there are many of them and the need to get re-elected means they’re far less likely to try the kind of pump and dump scams which are routine in the cryptocurrency world, especially given the likelihood of scrutiny and punishment.

This is a nonsense position, though. Crypto futures markets track spot markets. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense to allow futures and not spot. If spot is manipulated, so are futures.
It's kinda the same in C/C++ as far as I can tell.

They use the same backend in LLVM/GCC and the code gen options aren't
even that different mainly that rust uses the noalias attribute a lot.

> C/C++ in which you can sort of infer the consequences of UB on a single platform with enough experience.

UB in C/C++ allows the compiler to arbitrary rewrite your code, and it sometimes does so. All depending on compiler version, enabled compiler flags, optimization level and "seemingly arbitrary" factors (i.e. some optimization passes detect or fail to detect optimizations sometimes for quite surprised reasons).

So I don't think you can "sort of infer the consequences" on a single platform in practice. (Maybe in with optimizations disabled, but even then it can be tricky.)
Roughly but not exactly: public companies can report a profit to their investors while at the same time reporting losses to the IRS (or other government tax authority), because the rules are different and those who know how to exploit those differences are very well paid.
I don't get it either. I think most of the "expensive" ones that get the media attention are faked with wash through purchases. Other ones are simply people trying to get in and hope that it "goes up"

Really it doesn’t. I’d bet that the majority, worldwide, of people celebrating Christmas this year are not practicing Christians. Most won’t go to church, even on Christmas Day.

I want to install a full package but people warned not to do it since it will balloon the size.

I was reflecting myself on the brand damage this would have caused. We've always had a thing in our family that a Toyota is a safe, solid purchase. I must have shared that with 10 people or more over the years. Then in the last couple of days since this story broke, I've shared this with 2 or 3 people as a reason to be cautious about buying Toyota.

It baffles me why anyone ever thought this was a good idea. Even if they back down, I'm left with an uncomfortable feeling that Toyota has lost their way.

Brand loyalty is hard to earn and apparently easy to fritter away.

I really don't understand the logic of this. The futures markets follow the spot market. If there's manipulation of the spot markets that is so short term that it doesn't affect the futures markets, it shouldn't affect a spot ETF either. And if there's manipulation of the spot markets that is long term, it will affect the futures markets just as much as a spot ETF. What kind of manipulation is the SEC specifically worried about that would affect a spot ETF but not the futures market?
Writing an encoder for that sounds like a nightmare though. Also the speed would suck since you would have unpredictable memory accesses.

This works, but is only halfway there. If platforms are to be uncensored, then they shouldn't allow anonymous participation. Publicly anon is fine, so long as they can be identified if a court orders it so.
I bought a 2020 Forester. The only stuff that needs a subscription are things that use the car’s built in cell service:

- remote lock, unlock, start, check status

- see where my car is

- set alarm email notification if my kid leaves a predefined area or drives over a certain speed limit

- blue button for concierge

- red button for emergencies

Three free years then they want $20CAD/yr. I’m usually cranky about these things but this seems like a no brainer.

I’d pay that amount simply for the “human will see if your airbags went off and will cal 911 with your GPS position if you don’t respond.”
If you can negotiate +80% on your comp every time, then, sure, that pays off comparatively. But, I doubt you can. Furthermore, you only have a few chances to do so throughout a career, and your first few attempts will likely be bad.

What’s your take on all the new vehicles these days with their auto engine start/stop and cylinder deactivation tech? I can’t imagine these will make for dependable used vehicles. I believe Honda settled a class action suit related to their Variable Cylinder Management tech (https://www.autoblog.com/2013/10/23/honda-settles-class-acti...). Even current owners are still complaining of issues. It was enough to put me off from buying a V6 Honda.
I’d seriously look at another company if this was an option, it sets a horrible impression.

The FANGMULA salaries that you mentioned I could not dream of reaching. I have 3 gigs and cash in maybe 70k, and that is very good for my location. I could, I suspect, if I applied myself, land a FANG job, but I would _have_ to relocate. And the COL increase alone would probably make it not worth it. A FANG level remote job would not happen and the stupid niche I work in is not as highly paid as FANG.

Cool stuff! Have you considered using Nix for this? That way you get even more reproducibility, because all the OS packages (including Python and Poetry) can be easily pinned. If you only use packages which are already in nixpkgs you won't even need Poetry for easy repro.

> I can't understand why anyone would want this to be optional.

If someone can make a living by selling e-books/blog posts/Photoshop paint brushes for cents on a dollar to hundreds or thousands of different people - all this person needs is to have people who are willing to take the risk of losing cents of a dollar. When these people pay for the person and actually get what they were expecting, the producer gets the money and the consumers got what they wanted and will then vouch for the producer's honesty.

And if the person is not honest, all it will take is for a few people to lose a small amount of money which is simply not worth fighting for, but it is enough to get those victims to warn others about the scam.

> the kind you see on prepaid cards in retail stores.

This includes middlemen and friction. It's a non-starter as a real alternative to simple payments via crypto.

You really should, because that would be a huge lesson for you and everyone else that criticizes crypto without taking a look at the actual reality of a lot of people.

I specifically used Argentina for a reason: Argentina has strict capital controls and a handful of different exchange rates. If you are an exporter, the central bank converts USD/ARS at one rate. If you are importing, at another. If you are an investment bank at another. "Retail" does not even get to be able to convert money, so they all need to resort to the black market. The difference between the "official" rate and the black market is ~15%. So, someone that wants to receive ARS from someone sending USD (or GBP/EUR...) they will be facing a 15% cut just to be able to cash out.
Exactly. What a weird hill to die on. Im about to blow 35k on a vehicle and you are going to insult me over a few $100. Why?

I’m amazed by the amount of resentment and anger in these comments and how off-base they are to my own experience.

I had two full-time jobs during the pandemic for 1.5years. One I had been at for 3 years previously and 70% of the time I had a very manageable work-load. I was only 100% remote for 3 months at the start of the pandemic, then in hybrid office/wfh, they are highly flexible and I can work Saturday instead of a Wednesday if I want, etc.

Other position was 100% remote (even before pandemic), semi-flexible, and was for such a large organization and had so many stake-holders on every project that I barely needed to think. Pick-up a ticket, follow instructions.

A typical day for me would be to wake up at 6am and start job B, have a scrum at 9am for job B, then head into job A (10minutes commute), work at job A until 1pm, come home for a 2 hour lunch and work job B, then back to the office for job A, around 6pm come back home and finish up any work for job B and job A. When things piled up I would work 10-15 hours on the weekend.

At job B, I saw many coworkers fired for underperformance. At job A a few were also fired during this time period, but not in my dept.

I did burn out after 1.5years and left job B, also gained a bunch of weight from sitting at a desk so often. I would do it again, I saved up a down-payment for a condo in HCOL.

I have put both positions on my resume and will happily talk about this experience, have had no qualms talking to recruiters about this. Some like it, some don’t. Have been talking to one about a potential role in sales, they seem to be pretty ok with this/slightly impressed.

Also, for those that didn’t grow up poor, this is called making things work. This isn’t some crazy decision with no rationale behind it. I am used to putting my head down and working hard for long periods of time. I had a full-time job my senior year of high school (still able to earn a double ride to undergrad), I’ve had a full-time + part time job some college summers, have had 3 part-time jobs other college summers. I worked part-time through 50% of college and 70% of high school. I worked a full-time job while in grad school part-time.

So as you can see, from just wanting to exist and get ahead in life, I have unintentionally trained to be able to work two full-time jobs for awhile without fucking anyone over and delivering fair value in return for my paychecks.
