> She's about as subconsciously condescending as I'd expect a political elite to be

That was the point. Nobody was saying she was a moustache-twirling tie-a-person-to-train-tracks villain in this. The problem is she was angling to pick up enough Sanders primary supporters while being a casually derisive, out-of-touch, faux-sympathetic talking-out-of-both-sides-of-her-mouth liberal capitalist tool who was sucking up to monied interests. This was at the crux of her weakness as a candidate... and a key reason how we ended up with Trump. Anyone with any sense who was actually truly on the left, didn't believe a damned thing she said.

Snopes cherry picked a position to defend, and willfully excluded the context of Clinton's statements to make it seem less bad than it was.

CNN included the entire text, along with a bunch of apologism. Even fucking Newsweek posted the audio of it even if they didn't put the most incendiary bits in text. Snopes though? They crafted the context to explicitly exclude the most salient parts that the targets of her derision found fault with, and solely focused on a specific phrasing so they could "debunk" it.

> Why should it be?

Because the sum of her words, and the context, matter. Because the most popular fact-checking site on the internet shouldn't be cherry picking its framing in order to push a narrative contrary to the spirit of what happened. Because even if you are probably not offended by her treating young progressives as naive, unrealistic basement-dwellers ("subconsciously" or not), I guarantee the young progressives she was talking about were... and they deserve not to be gaslighted.

And... there was a candidate who everyone agrees, even his detractors, that he never would have said something like this behind closed doors.
Yeah, I was thinking about this, but at that point there's not much reason to prefer a vm over just writing a server that's compiled to wasm, if you're going to have to write something that renders via javascript instead of serving http?
Well there's also flavour, makes a big difference
That's more of a backup/restore kind of thing - you can't restore to an existing file, for example, which means any local changes (even non-conflicting ones) would need to be blatted before getting any remote ones. Might suit some workflows, though?
They don't. not only are the users not having ownership of their content and distribution, there is also censorship
Google sometimes makes good stuff (Go programming language) other times things like this.
You're not right. With best intentions in my mind: get medical/psychological help, please.
PR and damage control isn't effective if the employee in charge is like "oh shit dudes our company screwed up!"

I think any google employee that comes in here and starts agreeing with the complaints would quickly find themselves out of a massively overpaid job the next day.
1) in my country the default is 80 km/h when no sign. Use that, then. Like seriously, do you think people today think "wow, no sign, I can drive 200"??

2) a sign isn't outdated, it's by definition the limit

3) so what? No one gets hurt by someone driving a bit slower for a short stretch.

4) if you care so much about emergencies, shouldn't you be for this policy? Tens of thousands die each year in traffic accidents, isn't that worth solving vs some obscure edge case that might perhaps sometime cost someone their life??

5) no, follow the speed limit. You're the kind of driver that makes this kind of law necessary. It doesn't matter that the road ahead is empty, if you misjudge the next turn and kill someone. What a crazy, selfish and entitled attitude you have.

> All it takes is 1 exec in Tesla who thinks like you or who has had a loved one die by overspeeding.

Your lack if empathy is astonishing. This happens all the time, and is why it should be implemented.
Gotta be something wrong here no?

I applaud your courage for posting here given the level of animosity in the room.

I think this change is good. It seems to take away the decision from the admin and put it solely in the hand of the user which is great.

More granular user control is also good (although that UI for deciding what gets recorded is getting messy).

Default ON is reasonable imo. Especially given that the data is only used to improve the product. In my experience CTR on autosuggestions is huge, hopefully this will improve workspace experience for quite a few people.

Come to think of it, this kind of looks like an isomorphic SPA if you squint enough.
Well, from my experience, it depends on what you have (hardware), but you can always play simpler games that doesn't need a big power, I like to play with my colleagues (we are all remote) CS:GO, it works almost on any modern computer, it's fun, you have to have a team of 5 and just have fun.

Other game that I played with my friends are World of Tanks and World of Warships, free to play, and if you are into military history, it could be fun.

But I would also recommend regular training for mental health. I know how it is, you are at home all the time, working remotely, and now even in winter, from my personal experience, I don't go out much, it can be like 2-3 days without me going out, but I train at home every day, 30-45 minutes. For physical and mental health.

Well, he was clearly competing with the faceless environment that allowed only eccentric billionaires to appear to be his only competition. If it was an open niche it would have been filled with others. Reading other threads here I learn that there have indeed been multiple failed attempts at space companies.

Maybe it's just a selection effect, but maybe they played their cards wisely and maybe some of the key choices can be attributed to the founder of the company that set the vision and picked the team carefully.

I'm personally not a fan of personality cults, but I don't think it's fair to swing too much on the other side. It doesn't strike me as plausible to think that Musk is just sitting on his ass and reaping the benefits of hard work of other people, and did that successfully with at least two companies.
I wonder if this will make it to the CLI client once they've stabilised the API. (Most of the sqlite files I want to offline/delay sync are accessed 99% of the time by the CLI client, not via the library.)

With decent processing a mm-wave picture would be good enough that you could recognise a person, so I don't think there is any inherent anonymity. The image resolution is a function of both wavelength and aperture and a mm-wave antenna can extend over a significant number of wavelengths (ie. large aperture). A stable timebase would further allow processing across time, enabling synthetic aperture.

Also, a person is not a randomly shaped object. If the processing is specifically tuned to detecting and identifying people an awful lot of degrees of freedom can be eliminated, giving more detail in those features that do identify a person.

That’s also true of most people who aren’t doing something nasty.
For building optimizing compilers for quantum computers.

The biggest hurdle has been difficulties with deployment. Open-source Lisp implementations mostly[1] only let you build an executable, and not things like a C ABI-compatible shared library. Commercial Lisp implementations are a lot better in this regard.

Even if your OK with building an executable, there are limited options in terms of "enterprise integration", especially in the arena of databases and RPC. Google only very recently released support for gRPC [2], for example, and it's not a first-class citizen in Google's gRPC offering. Most hobbyist Lisp hackers don't exactly care to build (and more importantly maintain) a bunch of open source stuff for enterprise use.

[1] There is a Lisp implementation called "ECL" that compiles Lisp to C, but it's lacking in many other dimensions.

It's search history in Workspace, which is data Google already has associated with you and your organization. The difference between retention of Workspace and general Google search history is huge. If you are worried about your searches in Workspace being cached you should probably not be using Workspace for that data.
Looks like you’re right, but that’s not how Wordle yellow letters are supposed to work.. OP this needs another fix I believe
I assume moop is a slang term then? what's the burn?

And yes, I am sure many companies are thinking (or at least have people in them thinking like this). A few issues are the legal and cultural framework (I am quite happy for my personal data to be shared with accredited Health (ie NHS) researchers, but not with the Apple Watch product manager)

Epidemiology at this level is going to have transformative effects, but it needs to be trusted. I mean the only difference between a utopia of guided humans and a surveillance state is who gets the data and what they do with it. the people in the free country abs the ones in the oppressive totalitarian state will be wearing the same devices with the same radar.
Bummer. He should have used microservices.

Then the problem at least would have been isolated to that part and the rest of the system in 100% good shape.
Because it is free ‘paid support’ for OracleJDK? Is red hat linux also scammy for having fedora and a paid distro as well?

Exactly. When I sold my house a few months ago I found a good agent that helped me price correctly and we sold the same weekend. Made sure it went to someone that actually needed a house and not some investor looking to flip. Still came in over asking.
Even though I'm using Container Proxy myself, you can almost do the same thing with the official plugin (Manage Containers -> Click any Container -> Advanced proxy settings).
Amusing how it's gone from "be your own bank" back around to centralization, but this time with a colossal energy footprint behind it. Same shit, bigger pile I guess.

I got a free handout as an employee without my job being affected by the pandemic at all. Missing chips currently do affect my job a bit, but still not as much as people working (or currently not working) in production. We just raise prices too, but we needed to send people home in the meantime.

Don't know how much the chip scarcity is related to Covid or if it is just useless coin miners.

Distributed Systems Engineers: Mid- and Senior- Levels

thatDot has created the world first Streaming Graph to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal. Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:

- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.

- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.

- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.

- …and the right tool for the job.

What are you talking about? Good Bluetooth headphones had existed long before apple did something.
This is why I love Capitalism and Competition. This is amazing and fantastic.
you could make similar arguments for any integrated or bundled technology. even products like microsoft office which knocked out competition back in the day when there were competing spreadsheet packages.

where it gets philosophically interesting is how this integration can cut across dimensions. software can be bundled horizontally, and software+hardware+commerce+service can be bundled vertically.

integration often leads to smoother experiences for end users at reduced cost, but comes at the expense of winner take all economics in the marketplace.

finding the right balance across both dimensions will be the great challenge for 21st century technology regulation. it's unclear to me how much antitrust experience from the past will help with this (or if consolidation may actually be desirable, freeing up capacity for new problems)

Interviewee: I want X.

Company: Sorry but that's above our max budget.

Interviewee: What can you offer me?

Company: Y, Y<X that's our max budget.

Interviewee: OK, I can consider it if you promise me a reasonable revision in a year.

2:

Interviewee: Whats your offer?

Company: Z, Z<Y

Interviewee: That's too low. I want X.

Company: You're asking for X when we offered Z. That's too much of a difference and it doesn't sound reasonable to us. We find it insulting. Let's end it here.
It sounds very stupid from their side to be stubborn, at least, that just means they have an existential risk to the whole company, if they don't get their fav solution to work.
That's amazing! I wish you all the very best ahead! :)
> it's also why this email went out 60 days prior to the change

Do users have the ability to disable the setting when they receive the first e-mail, or do they have to wait until the setting is enabled then go back and disable it?

Are the users being notified, or just the admins? (The e-mail in the pastebin sounds like it went only to admins).

Will users be reminded when the setting changed, or is that left to the admin/do they have to remember that and disable it once the change happened?

Genuine Question: Does paying for YouTube Premium prevent them from accessing your viewing data to better serve you ads elsewhere? I suspect it doesn't, but haven't really thought about it before
Are you using SBCL ? also i'm curious what CI/CD platform you used, or maybe you rolled your own ?
Perhaps Hollywood should hire some lawyers for fresh new ideas then?
I disagree. I think the point is reasonable. I personally find it useful to refer to my past searches/activity, especially in a professional context, and it would be unintuitive to me if such a feature was turned off by default.
Not sure if separating the language from its available libraries is really helpful...
This sounds like a sketch from a comedy show;

> “Losing my ape was [a] best blessing in disguise!,” García said. “It really showed the impact the NFT community has when banding together for a cause. When I lost it, I felt alone and didn’t know what to do. [One] tweet and [thousands] of people in [the] NFT community came to help!”
“Unlimited Service Locations. Order as many Starlinks as needed”

Does this mean I could have 3 on a property to triple bandwidth? If 1 per property, could I have my neighbours hang together? (High density, 10M between 3 dishes).
I'm guessing [feature] means routing happens through Firefox vpn.
How much does a company need to degrade a service - at potentially great cost - to be compliant before they can claim it then would be better not to provide the service at all to customers unwilling to share data?

I am not claiming that this is where Google needs to draw the line in the sand - but there obviously is such a limit to these considerations.

Sure. And stand-alone GPS navigation devices also don't work in cars.
Are you sure about that? I thought yellow letters were matches but in the wrong placement. Which is what’s happening in your screenshot
Having a vm means you get to use a huge amount of pre-existing softwares instead of writing them by yourself, and even expose them on webrtc using something like webrtc-socket-proxy. Ideally you'll just need to write some glue code to tie them all.
> "Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced Ripple, an open API for developing general-purpose consumer radar systems"

Why using the name of a cryptocurrency for something that has nothing to do with it??
You mean having bytecode and native code ? maybe they can start that for 3.2+ .. surely it would be more interesting than optional type signatures :)
> I think it is fair to say that it’s at least morally counter intuitive

Only in that as a society, we seem to have decided (or come to through emergent behavior) that viewing sweeping socioeconomic changes and what might actually result from them with anything other than a cursory surface analysis is too much effort. :/
None of the other situations you’ve mentioned are similar to a self driving car being unleashed on an unsuspecting dense urban area without setting clear rules for what’s to happen in the worst case. These are the frameworks which guide decision making. Without clear guidelines, I have a lot of reason to doubt that eg a product team that really wants to deliver a feature will ship something without the proper amount of testing.

If you’re letting autonomous multi ton vehicles roam around a dense city, I would expect them to go over and above in playing by the book.
I have not looked at Elixir. It is possible for the user to extend its syntax?
You don’t always have a choice.
Then you're not really adding syntax, just re-using existing syntax.
That isn't a bug. In the original if a guess contains a repeated letter and there is only one occurrence of that letter in the target work then the first (on the left) letter will be yellow and the second black.

You can see this with today's word by guessing MOTTO. The leftmost T will be yellow and the rightmost will be black.

Similarly, if you guess TENET the initial T is black but the final T is green.

Today's word is ZBVFG (rot13).
Not compensation, reimbursement for expenses
They’ve always had a person in their cars though. So this is a big difference since they’re saying the vehicles will be fully autonomous (no human supervisor in the vehicle).
No, it is pure logic. I moved my presence off of Google services because of privacy concerns. I am not being an apologist at all.

The point is that if you are hosting your data on Google services this setting makes little difference to your privacy footprint.

Our values are somewhat driven by consensus, and since we project onto the world the things we already know/believe in, I would say we do live in a reality partially defined by consensus, as far as we perceive it.

I don't think you could demonstrate that you're not living in a reality by consensus. That would be proving a negative anyway.
