A criminal matter is when a person A does specific physical actions to person B. It usually requires fairly solid proof and serves the purpose of preventing the perpetrator of committing further physical acts.

The forced arbitration applies to the civil cases where a group of persons sues the employer seeking damages for creating a "hostile environment" based on feelings and other subjective parameters. It usually ends up with a settlement enriching the plaintiffs, and more corporate paperwork in the style of "we paid $1M for a mandatory course telling our employees that groping is bad" to defend from further lawsuits.

It's similar to McDonalds forced to print "caution: the beverage may be hot" on the coffee cups after losing $2.7M to a person that got burned by one [0].

Oh, EdgeDB is so much more than "basically an ORM layer". I suggest to scroll to the bottom of our home page edgedb.com and read the dedicated FAQ entry. I just don't want to restate the entire explanation here.
It's easier to get hired as a male teacher because university and teaching school grads demographically skew female. There is less supply of male teachers ultimately which causes the high demand for male teachers is what I've heard.
> I'm sure this is a line of reasoning ad-apologists use all the time but... philosophically, is there really a way we can claim that advertising makes you want things in a way that's wrong, as opposed to in way that causes enjoyment just like when you normally want things?

Once upon a time, at least some advertising was "Joe's store has cantaloupes". When cantaloupes were seasonal, you didn't know that unless you went into Joe's store and looked. Telling you that gave you information you didn't have before. It was useful. If you wanted cantaloupes, you went to Joe's store. If the thought of cantaloupes was appealing, you at least thought about it. If you didn't like cantaloupes, you ignored it.

Is that wrong? I would say no.

But advertising got a lot more sophisticated. Now it's more like a quote I read: "The goal of advertising is to make the person you are envy the person you could be with the product. In other words, the point is to steal your satisfaction and then offer to sell it back to you."[1]

Is that wrong? I would say yes.

How does advertising do that? When it shows how cool you would be if you used the product. Or how sexy. Or how you'd get the girl or the guy. Or how uncool/unsexy the people who don't use it are.

Watch ads on TV or Youtube or wherever for a little bit. How many are giving you information that something is out there? How many are trying to tell you that you'd be cooler or sexier if you bought their thing?

A certificate has two main functions: identity of the server and encryption. Not checking the chain leaves you with encryption, which is likely what your need.

A self-signed certificate is as good as any other when it comes to encryption.

What killed me it was Twitter killing developers apis: no more interesting apps than theirs. It sucks big time. They're also screwing the chronology, sometimes you get the latest tweets (most interesting) and sometimes they switch you to Recommended, which, normally, it sucks.

Always done great on greenfield projects, but suffer on anything else?
Most of my tech career, I have had the chance to work on greenfield projects. Now, for the last few months, I have been on a team where we're maintaining some existing software.

To keep it short, I hate it.

I find the codebase is unnecessarily complicated, and I am having a hard time adjusting to the team's way of working.

What do I do? I brought this up with my manager and he rightly said "sometimes we just have to do the work" but short of quitting I feel like this sucks.
Can someone from EdgeDB explain why the SQL isn't as simple as what I have below? What am I missing? Why is that cross join lateral necessary:

avg(movie_reviews.score)
FROM movie
JOIN movie_actors on (movie.id = movie_actors.movie_id)
JOIN person on (movie_Actors.person_id = person.id)
JOIN movie_reviews on (movie.id = movie_reviews.id)
WHERE person.name like '%Zendaya%'
group by title
It's complex, but I'll try to explain it succinctly. For starters, this is about civil lawsuits (e.g. suing your employer for money because they caused or allowed sexual assault or harassment in the workplace). As a general matter, you have state laws and federal laws governing whether arbitration is OK, and sometimes they conflict. The Federal Arbitration Act generally allows it. Many states don't, but sometimes only in certain circumstances. As a general rule, whenever there's a direct conflict between state and federal law, federal law wins. However, states can still win if they have an unusually compelling public policy justification. Different states also have different rules about what kinds of cases binding arbitration is OK for. So you end up in situations where the courts say things like "You can't have binding arbitration for sexual assault or harassment claims in such and such state even though they'd otherwise be allowed under federal law, and you can still maybe arbitrate certain kinds of other things, but probably not." That's the case right now in CA (maybe the whole Ninth Circuit). Things can get even messier from there because there's conflicting law on the contractual circumstances under which binding arbitration is OK and whether employees can opt-out and how. Massachusetts, for example, kind of says you can have binding arbitration for sexual assault claims but only if the employment agreement screams FYI WE'RE STILL GONNA MAKE YOU ARBITRATE ASSAULT CLAIMS. Ultimately, an employer with a nationwide workforce may end up in situations where they say things like "If you're in X state, then WE'RE GOING TO ARBITRATE SEXUAL ASSAULT AND HARASSMENT CLAIMS but if we do you get to choose the venue and we'll pay your arbitration costs and we're definitely gonna arbitrate all other kinds of cases except for these few kinds and everyone bears their own costs."

Legislation like this is aimed at clarifying the rules on a nationwide basis, partly in response to the courts being divided on what's OK when and where.
But Apple does supply job titles for current employees. It’s only after someone departs that they change the value to something confusing.

We all know that different companies work differently. How rare is what Apple does, and what harm does it cause? The article includes a tangible example of such harm. Can you share any insight that is specific to this practice? I know you’ve worked in the hiring space.
I think that's fairly normal. When you learn a concept in a language it's difficult to convey it in a foreign language if you don't have the vocabulary, even if you're a native speaker. That happens to me all the time.
Never a shortage of people mad that they can't eat trans fats or inhale leaded gasoline exhaust anymore, either. Not great analogies, since giving up personal info to use free services is a reasonable choice for individuals... But in aggregate, it's like giving up a bit of sovereignty to be that transparent. Microtargetting has helped enable some serious societal harms, i.e. spreading lies to the gullible while evading scrutiny from others, and that pales to how intelligence agencies can use the hoards of personal data. I think France and the EU are moving in the right direction, given the CLOUD act exists, and given all the other bad societal effects enabled by a surveillance focused economy. US politics hasn't weathered the shift well, unless of course your fitness function for politics is how resilient the elected government is against voters, i.e. how little can it serve their interests without losing power.

It sounds like you're fortunate enough to live in an area with good outdoor air quality. There are many places where aerobic exercise without a good HEPA filter in the room with you is almost certainly a net negative for health and longevity.

Also, as others have suggested, Peloton is really a social network... or at least they should think of themselves that way, if they want to make money. Arguably they shouldn't be in the hardware business at all. They are trying to run two radically different businesses, each of which is hard enough on its own.

There aren’t many companies with a need to target journalist and politicians for a profit… well there is but Twitter ads are a little to obvious.

Even though it is after 2 days, I came back to this comment. I was reading Weapons of Math Destruction and it just dawned on me. Tbh when I first read your comment I didn't understand it but know I do. In the book the author talks about baseball stats while you gave an example about physics.

It might have been interesting, but it was so annoying with all the time-wasting "fun" stuff, that I stopped watching. I bet they could have easily made that 12 minute video into a 4 or less minute video. The video makers basically don't care about their viewers and want to monetize their attention, pathetic.

I got as far in that video to where one of the guys shouts about his "meaningless victory".

Meaningless indeed. Thanks Linus Tech Tips.
I'm responding to the idea that advertising is bad.

You're talking about something different.
It's right there in your house, you can hop on and hop off whenever you want, you don't have to finish your trip like with a regular bike where you'd have to bike back home. Lots of reasons, primarily being the convenience of it.
Yea, but philosophically, you shouldn't have to opt in (to opt out) - if I don't want to any part of apple's ecosystem, this forces me to actively opt out.

On top of the phone number, they also go through purges seemingly once a year, getting rid of up to a million accounts a day. That also doesn't fair well with giving the stock market raw numbers
"Referenced", in the sense of even bringing it up in a discussion all about hiring funnels, perhaps?
Ditto here, I used to do infotainment flashing and testing. It's quite an interesting industry. These days I mostly work on sensor packages for development vehicles, so my infotainment knowledge is a bit stale.

A lot of automakers leave too much to their suppliers, and take too much on faith. The testing and validation is often happy-path only, show that it is capable of functioning properly, not that's incapable of functioning improperly. Pathetic but thrifty, as long as there are no standards for these things.

Mazda's gaffe here is that the boot-loop prevents the rear-view camera from working, which is a NHTSA requirement. So their 'courtesy replacement' is an attempt to avoid the shame of a true recall, as I understand it.
Small bit of additional JS defeats the point of doing it at all. The moment you end up having to go outside one of these things you end up with one problem or another. The fact of the matter is that you will always have to deal with HTML, CSS and JS somewhere and you can try abstract it out and it always breaks down near the edges.

Also as a bit of an aside and it is a bit of a moan.

Coming from someone that can write everything from scratch and doesn't need framework. All of these things are horrible to work with (I've had to work with a bit of Blazor) and they just make it incredibly difficult to actually find out what is going on (especially when stuff doesn't work as advertised) as they just obfuscate what is going on.

Every job requires you to know some horrendous framework these that has about 10 layers of Rube Goldberg madness in there for one reason or another. People will be surprised what can be achieved with `document.createElement()` a few classes and a pub / sub class.
Fair enough. And until courts have ruled, we don't actually know. WMF has vested interest in normalizing it, but on the other hand they do have lawyers so it's not a completely bonkers idea.

And the monkey selfie you mention was actually not obvious legally one way or the other. I believe the human eventually won, but it was down to the details.

In order for something to be copyrightable it needs to have minimal "threshold of originality" to it. In the monkey copyright case the photo clearly had. In the photo I linked to? Much less clearly so.

The EU (because Mona Lisa) is summarized as "The test for the threshold of originality is in the European Union whether the work is the author's own intellectual creation".
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_of_originality).

One would have a hard time arguing that framing a painting perfectly in the viewfinder is "the author's own intellectual creation".

In the US it's "at least some minimal degree of creativity".

But yes, both could be circumvented by injecting the painting equivalent of "paper towns", I suppose.

But in any case any of these people could start selling copies:

https://jeffhaltrechtphotoblog.com/2015/09/01/selfie-mayhem-...

But of course we could then worry about what a court would say about a "no photos, please" sign and whether it's a binding contract that signs over any copyright over photos in the place (uh, doubtful).

It's an interesting legal area, and I don't reject the idea you mentioned of de facto re-copyright as a whole. I just don't think it applies to Mona Lisa specifically, for these reasons.

But you should also remember that there's a difference between "You're not allowed" and "You are not able" to take a photo.

Unless you have a contract signing away the copyright to the photo, all the establishment can do is ask you to leave after you've already taken the photo.

And I highly doubt a checkbox ToS when you bought the ticket will be considered informed consent of reassignment of copyright.

In economics, this viewpoint is known as the "classical dichotomy" [0]. IMO it's a bit of a dangerous way of seeing things since it blinds you to some important aspects of the economy. Inflation is particularly hard on people who don't have negotiating power, and in general those people aren't doing great to begin with.

While the size of the pie is important, so is the means of distributing the pie and the assurance that pie will be served tomorrow.

I'm amused at you questioning what they've been doing all this time, and then giving instructions to avoid seeing what they've been doing all this time.

I don't like those things in my timeline either, but that's your answer. Also those annoying voice chatrooms and their lame attempt at stories.
No, it still isn't infinite. Under reasonable assumptions the series is actually bounded from above by a geometric series [1] which is famous for having a finite sum when ratio is <1 [2]. In this case, the ratio r=1/(1+i) is indeed <1. More importantly, no asset exists an infinite amount of time, so the sum is actually finite anyway.

Perhaps we should dispose with all the math though as it should be intuitively clear that if we discount future cashflows at zero rate, i.e. if we do not discount future cashflows, then their present value should be equal to the future value. After all, discounting just means that you value future money less than today's money. If you don't discount, you value both the same, so whatever formula for discounting you use it must be true that plugging in zero rate yields NPV equal to the sum of future cashflows.

Agreed about risk discount. Perhaps what you mean by "whippy" is that as the risk-free interest rate goes to zero NPV becomes increasingly sensitive to the risk discount.

> Do recruiters even read resumes anymore? I am genuinely not sure at this point.

Did they ever read resumes?
At a certain point, no matter how well paid, you're going to want your future employee to do something that seems pointlessly redundant to them, and to do it as conscientiously as possible in spite of not knowing the importance of the task you want them to do.

For which they have to pay you. That does not apply when the company is marketing itself to you.
I recently wondered about this, from another angle. In a way it was "weird" that they had an API, given our times. I.e., it was different: imagine if FB/Instagram/WhatsApp had an API. (I think it would be awesome, but it puts into perspective that it was weird that they had one imo)
Why not ship integrated FPGA in CPUs?

Being able to offload a repeated, complex MIMD computation to an FPGA treated like an instruction could be a huge win for scientific computing and any large, steady workload that is expensive enough for companies to invest in optimizing for the FPGA. If this became commonplace and relatively inexpensive then large corporations would likely fund improvements into compilers to make the developer experience simpler and faster.

> I feel like this would enable a more sensible choice:

I have a working solution for something like this that is based on Chrome

https://github.com/mumba-org/mumba

The applications developers publish native, Swift applications, where Swift have the full access to the Webkit/Blink api the same way Javascript does and even more with the patterns from the Chromium renderer (for instance, access to lifetime events, OnDocumentLoaded, OnVisible, OnFirstPaint, etc..).

The offline first comes from the fact that every application runs first as a daemon which provide a gRPC api to the world of the services it offers, where the web-UI application process might also consume this same api from its daemon -process manager or from other applications.

Note that the daemon process who is always running give access to "push messages", so even if no UI app are running things can still work, like syncing into the DB, or even launching a new UI application given some event..
This service process also is pinged back by the web-UI process for every event, so the daemon process can also act when theres a need (when everything is loaded on the UI, do this..)

Also about the article, note that with this solution you will code in pure Swift (not WASM) just like the article is pointing out the web applications that can be built without any javascript.

Other languages like Rust, C++, Python can be added giving the Swift applications are talking to the runtime through a C api. (And i could use some help from other developers who also want this in other languages)

If you want to ship your applications with this, you will get a much better environment than Electron, using much less resources, as things are being shared to every application, and the cool part is the applications can consume one another services (for instance a Mailer application) forming a network, and depending one-another (the magic here is that they are all centrally managed by a core process that is always running)
Eh, there is a wide area here. For example there is abusive vs non-abusive advertising.

Selling = Sofa is $999 and that is a good price for a good couch.

Abusive advertising = This sofa is so wonderful that hot women are going to seek you out to have sex with you.

When advertizging starts selling lifestyles is where it becomes abuse.

One could argue they filled out their niche. Took the VC money, made the thing global, does what it says on the tin. The world now has a broadcast-short-messages service that can be used by people to reach their audience.

Unfortunately that's not enough, since these tech firms tend to be priced to eat the whole planet, thus requiring a lot more than going global with a little thing that works.

That is because so I'm led to think uploading and typing my own resume on their hiring portal means a net waste of time since screening is most likely automated and while it took you 15 minutes to apply for a job, the automatic resume screening system will filter it out in 48 milliseconds. And then two or three weeks later you receive a letter saying you've been rejected (if they care to send a rejection email/letter at all).
After some military contractors in some countries got targeted and hurt, most European defence companies started asking their employees they don't advertise who you work for and where, especially in the Internet, and especially on social media.

You're advised not to wear company swag and all company-provided transport (buses) are required not to say or write the name of the company when picking up employees. You're also advised to avoid giving a precise Linked In profile. Even your role makes you a phishing (or worse) target.

You'd get frequent opsec training refreshes explaining all the new tricks and how such and such got roped in from their SM presence.
