For women who assembled iPhones at a Foxconn plant in southern India, crowded dorms without flush toilets and food sometimes crawling with worms were problems to be endured for the paycheck.

And:

The unrest at Foxconn was the second involving an Apple supplier in India in a year. In December 2020, thousands of contract workers at a factory owned by Wistron Corp destroyed equipment and vehicles over the alleged non-payment of wages, causing estimated damage of $60 million.

Which will just keep going on and on and on, of course.

Until we stop buying their shiny products any more than strictly necessary. And those making ICT4 and higher at Apple -- especially those working at HQ in any capacity -- get together and tell their bosses they simply will not allow this shameful dereliction of duty on their part to continue. And will absolutely resign if there are any further occurrences of it.
I’m reading the law and I don’t see that issue. All the issues are from the requirements of the FDA, making it patent free solves nothing, unless you’re talking about another industry, the cases are all from healthcare patents from the wiki. This isn’t new or something unusual, most of the issues are in healthcare and the requirements to produce them are not going to be fixed by removing patents.

Academic papers do submit sponsorships and conflicts of interest, and there’s also the case of academia wanting cutting edge equipment from private companies and doing deals with them. This is much more honest than the smoking research, the federal government has an interest in maintaining patent law, it has no incentive to give free access to no fee licensing. There’s lots of laws with access to healthcare information, which requires industry knowledge where the information is freely given to corporations to do research on, which would not be allowed federally. The researchers are not usually working because they’re interested in making their research public information, and while post grads are funded by government, they are free to develop royalty free information, they choose not to and the government wants to partially fund corporations. I don’t see the problem, people want to make money and they want to do cutting edge research.

I see academia and research papers as advertising rather than a patent minefield. There are plenty of people who want to work for the common good, but the government wants to fund private entities to produce products, government contracts is what the US does instead of its own production.

I see computer science papers with non of these issues under the current law.
I've always thought that it was dishonest to include non-monetary compensation in statements like "they make [x] amount of dollars, they can afford to [y]". Usually, to buy [y], you need cash.
I'm no fan of NFTs, but the argument that

just doesn't make sense to me. There are far, far more energy intensive operations that we do daily. Think about how much energy is 'wasted' playing video games, yet nobody balks at that.
" and this is really the only part that matters."

No it isn't. The point of NFTs is to prove ownership and facilitate trade. Not identifying creators.

The flu can spread very quickly as well. My child's class was hit by the flu 2 years ago, just before COVID lockdowns began. More than 3/4 of the kids in her entire grade got sick at the same time.

We do expect that omicron will likely hit in a similar fashion once it surfaces in her school, despite the indoor/outdoor mask requirements and relatively high levels of child vaccination.

You can fake relevance if you want to sell the company without actually lying. Coincidentally there's a certain class of company that is in a permanent state of being sold and whose communication is under particular scrutiny wrt truthfulness. Seen from any other angle I fully agree, random user data value tends to be greatly overestimated.

> The simple fact is that when you're "in the zone", the mouse gets in the way.

On the other hand, I use the mouse a lot while coding and I would say you’re wrong here, for me. I prefer the ability to not have to think about memorized keys when coding.

I go into a state of flow based on what I believe is a combo between visualizing and imagining the code in an object form or something similar, so using a mouse is more natural since I’m still visualizing the mouse menu and the areas I have to click on instead of context switching into the mode where I try to remember keys I often look at the keyboard when typing, too, due to my way of flowing. I personally think it’s because my brain works a bit more visually and my imagination is pretty good, so I am able to map the imaginary code flow in my mind to the text version, so using a mouse to me is like navigating between the two. My mind takes the logic and is able to translate that to mouse movements easily to reach the part of the code I’m thinking about abstractly.

Personally, I’ve tried to be a better typist and tried to use emacs or vim, but I always go back to the way I do things and I’ve just decided my brain works a bit differently than many coders.

To each their own, I say; so do whatever works for you and I’ll keep using my way.
Or create a function that returns a view of a table minus named columns in situ if that's really a common case for you. Just as an idea.
Perhaps we can use the golden hammer of deep learning for this? Maybe the input layer would be a 3d tensor with a 1 for the of space taken by each box, or the edge of each box, and a zero for everything else. The output layer would be a quality score that would be the result of a simulation of how badly the boxes were damaged given the truck shifting wildly. Then the model, when sufficiently trained, could be used by the packer robot to iterate solutions on the boxes it had for packing to achieve the best predicted quality score?

Here's what I think is a better analogy than the lock picking one:

It's Halloween, so you put a bowl of chocolates outside your house with a sign saying "take one". You accidentally dropped your wedding ring in there, and when a reporter digs through the chocolates and sees it, they ring the doorbell to let you know.
Well nothing can negate an incident like this, but a lot can be done to mitigate the damage and disincentive this happening in the future. The government that has jurisdiction should heavily fine the person(s) responsible and direct the money towards the victims in the tanker and for environmental cleanup.
Is Bluetooth holding back Apple's AirPods? We asked the man who made them
Well, they might digitally sign the things they say that they think reflect well on them. Why would they sign their gaffes? And then we're back where we started: someone shares a video of someone making a gaffe. There's no signature. Is it missing because it's fake, or because the speaker knew it was a gaffe? "Hey, I recorded you saying bad stuff in a donor meeting, will you sign it for me to prove it's not a deepfake?"
Idiocracy is hilariously optimistic.

The people of the future:

1) Noticed that a guy they sent to jail was competent

2) Promptly assigned him a role with responsibility appropriate to the competency

3) Didn't understand but at least TRIED to listen to what he had to say

4) When he bypassed the bureaucracy to demonstrate ways to solve problems they noticed, listened, and rewarded him for it.

I don't think our current government is that mindful and self-aware.
I wouldn't say it's so you don't have to share the encryption key with your provider (you achieve that with a separate encryption key), but rather so you can use a single memorable secret for both login to the provider and local encryption.

As in, the idea is that it is used to save you from having two secrets which might be more or less easy/hard to remember.

It's a UX improvement (which might be a security imorovement on average too).
NOT true. The regulations that you have in mind never made it into law.

Big power boats go where they go. They may or may not even be looking in the direction they're moving.
Back a few decades ago, companies (at least ones I worked at) did not often use open source libraries in products. Sometimes you'd go through months of lawyer meetings to get some special case approved, but that was rare. So when you needed a library you couldn't write internally, you'd buy it from a vendor. That came with maintenance and a support contract.

As a developer that was a bit of a pain since you had to get purchase approval instead of just adding a dependency to a build file.

But, I'm feeling that is actually the better model the industry should go back to. It meant that developing libraries was actually a viable business. Today companies just leech off the open source everything, externalizing all their costs and dumping the maintenance burden on unpaid volunteers.
However they can be moving under sail AND power simultaneously. It's not uncommon.
> outrageously bad programming languages that allow run-time code rewriting

Almost all languages allow run-time code rewriting. Some of them just make it easier than others, and some of them make it a very useful feature. If you're very careful, updating a bash script while you're running it can be useful, but most often it's a mistake; in Erlang, hot loading is usually intentional and often useful. Most other languages don't make it easy, so you'll probably only do it if it's useful.
"Turned back"? Maybe they should be impounded. (Or just sunk?) That might get their attention.
> Older people should WFH and be careful.

Do we have or are you pushing for policies requiring WFH accommodations for them? What about people without jobs that can be done remotely, which yes does include a lot of the elderly population.

And careful how? Like for example frequent testing of those around them? Or policies requiring employers to not allow people back to work until they are confirmed non-contagious?

> Older people should WFH and be careful.

Absent any of those policies existing, this line like so so many others in here just reads as "it seems pretty safe for me now so good luck everyone."
> I read a book once which argued that the problem with modern political discourse is it pits the "I don't want things taken from me" (liberty!) people against the "XYZ is a human right" (entitlement!) people. And that a better way to frame the cultural argument is "XYZ is my responsibility to society."

I don’t know if it’s the book he’s talking about, but Simone Weil makes this argument in the beginning of The Need for Roots[+]—that the correct way to think about our relationship to society isn’t “rights” (someone else’s problem) but obligations (our problem).

Vermont has essentially banned some kinds of public ads. No billboards allowed alongside roads. Business signs must fit in with the surroundings and rural character of the area.
Minimal if you refer to columns by name. Risky if you rely on column ordering. Can be too much data and a performance issue if you have large columns that you’re not using. (Though, it’s not much different if you’re using an orm that loads the whole object anyway), like Django or sqlalchemy.

I’ve done it for many years (using named columns/ dictionaries as the result set) and its never been an issue.

If you are a customer, and you received this message, you should definitely change your master password and probably rotate your stored passwords. You don't know if your email was real or not.

However, it explains why so many users were getting this message recently in a plausible way, that is not too hand-wavy except for their dodgy track record. Its not the level of transparency I would expect from Mozilla or even Reddit, but its par for the course.

You should probably migrate to another password store. I moved away a while ago for other trust reasons, but this particular incident on its own is not that concerning to me.

Nice example! The join you describe would remain as a JOIN ON.

This is per design. Quote from the proposal:

"The idea is to improve the SQL language, specifically the join syntax, for the special but common case when joining on foreign key columns."
...
"If the common simple joins (when joining on foreign key columns) would be written in a different syntax, the remaining joins would visually stand out and we could focus on making sure we understand them when reading a large SQL query."

So, the special non-equal based join condition you describe, would become more visible, and stand out, allowing readers to pay more attention to it.

The hypothesis is most joins are made on foreign key columns, so if we can improve such cases, a lot can be won.
Energy potential in the atmosphere, in this case meaning the oceans and the air, will always depend on the weather, by definition. The alternative is mining uranium and carbon.
South Africa health minister confirmed that Omicron is a mild variant and is far less dangerous than Delta. It has also been confirmed that children:

1. Have higher chances of getting myocarditis after getting vaccinated.

2. Develop long lasting immunity after being exposed to the virus [1]

That makes me believe that there is absolutely no reason to vaccinate kids.

If my vaccination pass expires then I can't go eat, get on a plane, go to work. So it's a requirement to get another shot, the politicians/government just didn't say it out loud - typical.

Last time I got the vaccine for covid I was promised 5 years. It was reduced to 5 months post-facto. Do you seriously expect me to believe it will be at least the advertised 9 months this time - or that it's going to increase?
> For Model S vehicles, latch problems may lead a front trunk to open "without warning and obstruct the driver’s visibility, increasing the risk of a crash," Tesla said.

"increasing the risk of a crash" is an optimistic description of what would happen if the frunk opened while driving. Even if the loss of visibility didn't directly cause an accident, the distraction/confusion/anxiety could easily cause a crash indirectly.

I guess this is one instance where you're much better off in FSD mode, since the computer's vision wouldn't be obstructed by the open frunk, nor would it 'freak out' the same way a human driver would. Of course, you'd still have to have the driver take over in order to pull the car over, but at least you could do so when it was safe to do so (assuming you could resist the urge/reflex to mash the brake pedal when the frunk popped open).

it is true however that in the west, education is inversely correlated with fertility, that education is closely linked to intelligence, statistically, and that intelligence is at least 50% accounted for by heritability, as shown by many large studies.
I’ve noticed some sort of image post-processing on the newer iPhones that removes noise and graininess, and instead adds this fake smoothness to all pictures. Haven’t found a way to disable it, save for shooting in RAW, which is impractical due to file size.

Really disappointed that this seems to be a forced setting.
> In the case of these workers: ...

You assume they have to keep those workers here. Foxconn can just get new people when the old ones break. It isn't optimal on a country level, but for the company it is optimal. Which is why we make laws to prevent companies from abusing workers like this.
> I think a winning play would have had to be based on some of their existing strengths rather than start something entirely green-field. For instance, there was a surprising amount of good platform technology at Yahoo! that could have gone somewhere interesting with more juice behind it.

I’m curious what you have in mind. I don’t see what they had that they could have built a multibillion dollar company on. And that was the real challenge. They needed to build a core business worth at least several (10-20?) billion to fend off an inevitable hostile takeover breakup.

> The problem with Yang, Bartz and Semel was that none of them were the kind of people who "get it". They were not part of Internet or tech culture so they lacked all instinct.

It’s weird lumping Yang in with those others. Yang definitely was part of Internet/tech culture. He founded Yahoo and was responsible for the bulk of the value of Yahoo, as it came out of his investment in Alibaba. But he certainly made a lot of missteps as well.

I can yes, but if you think you have that much control over your environment, outside of a solo project, then you're in for some hard lessons ahead. Most of the time we end up living not just with our own bad decisions, but everyone else's too. Thinking you can stop everything bad from happening will just make you crazy, and cost you friends.

I can't refuse a puppy when I come home from work and find that my aunt dropped one off that morning and the kids have been playing with it all day and already named it. I have to get other things done. I can't wait by the door in case someone shows up with a box that is making noises.
Because the purpose of investing one's money is to attempt to preserve wealth. Dumping a bunch of money into a domestic factory with way higher variable costs that are structurally never going to improve is a surefire way to lose money. In contrast housing prices literally only go up and NFTs have non-zero chance at not losing all your money, which is better than a commodity factory in the US.

I think we'll see more onshoring if robotics ever gets to the point where factories can be cheaply fully automated.
in this case the government is breaking the law allowing confidential data to be distributed by thier servers to whomever connects with a browser.

it is civic duty to report a crime, and within the law to be prosecuted for not reporting a crime.

it is also a crime to make misleading or false statements or acting in a manner that obstructs a legal investigation.

the government of missouri has spun this around, 180 degrees attempting to make someone revealing the matter look like a criminal, and validate government obstruction of legal recourse.

the pot is painting the kettle an offcolour to hide its own.
Great questions and here's what I was thinking:

- I'm not providing stock recommendations to you nor am I providing personalized investing information. Everyone has access to the same information on the platform and sees the same trades unlike financial advisors.

- It's not setup to auto trade at the moment (and likely won't be in the future) for that edge case in specific. You have the option to click on the trade, and replicate it in your own brokerage.

- Agreed that this can have influences on the market like we saw in r/WSB. I think the more optimistic approach here however is this being another source of insight to help you make investing decisions. E.g. "I'm considering buying $XYZ. Who else owns it that I follow and trust?". This information is verified too so it's not like Reddit where people have the ability to lie and post whatever they want.

I don't agree that what he did was ethical. For me, and I think many people, it is clear that what he lied and stole. The works that he stole fall under clearly defined and well established copyright laws and which have licenses to which Swartz would have had to agree. He knew all of this and stole them anyway. He knew exactly what he was doing. This is why he hid his laptop and concealed his face when retrieving that laptop.

In terms of how this IP is copyrighted and distributed, that should be corrected at the funding level. The U.S. government (and other funding sources) should forbid publication and distribution via publications that do not make the information freely available for any science which they fund. But... we live in society of laws. You don't get to just decide which you like and thus will follow.

> right and wrong is increasingly being decided from the perspective of a tiny minority

I'm not sure I agree with you. I suspect your point might be motivated by a worldview (i.e. an ideology), as a opposed to be borne by evidence.

But I could definitely be wrong. To that end, point me to a law that is 1) written from the perspective of a tiny minority of elites and 2) forbids something that most people would consider ethical. By this I mean, not your outsider opinion on the law, but rather, real evidence that it is written to serve the elites and that the forbidden activities are considered perfectly ethical by the majority of people.
