> it's the money they reportedly had on hand at last account.

Exactly. Everyone knows that the 'missing' $60M didn't go to their own causes, but was spent on themselves (and everything else unrelated to BLM), just like what fraudsters would do. They were successful at manipulating the emotions of their supporters and executed a magnificent scam that even tricked the largest of companies.

So we are still defending fraudsters?
I wonder if the growing number of WFH jobs would help alleviate this. I'm a software engineer who mostly works from home. We sell (mostly) support for OSS. This seems like a situation where an ex-con might have an opportunity.

You never know if a marginal brand has licensed the Sandisk patents or implemented them correctly.
Assuming you're being serious - all of that sounds nightmarish and extremely subjective and failure-prone. Subjective assessments can easily skew towards politics and patronage. Your dept head is very likely indeed to confuse likability with technical ability.

The leetcode stuff doesn't necessarily correlate to actual productive capacity. Good teams tend to be a mix of complementary talents, and if you put a group of algo hackers together you'll get a lot of algo hacking. You won't necessarily get a lot of maintenance or debugging.

All of which highlights that the industry has no clue how to quantify talent either during hiring or after. And even less clue how to quantify the business value of talent. It has even less clue how to quantify needed talent - in the sense of creating teams with a productive mix of interlocking skills.

Abstract discussions about comp are meaningless from a business POV without that information.

This applies particularly to management. Some managers are clearly better than others, but in spite of all of the books, lectures, and general opportunism around management theory, many corps struggle with creating a sane productive culture.

I'm signed into an Apple ID on my one Mac machine so that I can use the App Store and to use iMessage/FaceTime despite my lack of an iPhone. I unchecked all the iCloud stuff as fast as I could because I wasn't prompted after adding the Apple ID on what I wanted to add, and there's no clear "Turn off iCloud" button.

Updated to Monterey, and suddenly 3 or 4 of the iCloud items were checked. Maybe there was something buried in the Monterey OOBE, but I honestly don't remember even getting a new EULA, and I'm usually VERY careful about looking for the anti-patterns that push cloud stuff.

Just popped System Preferences back open to see what the current state is, and it says I have 4.99 GB of 5GB available in my iCloud (presumably because of the iMessage stuff). Private Relay (Beta) has no checkbox and is spinning a spinner that says "Loading". No idea if that means it's turned on, or how to make it stop loading.

Not defending MSFT, this sucks, and I say that as someone who uses W11 Pro as my daily driver.

You really like to setup a strawman here.

> I don't believe that any sensible woman would only care about how handsome their partner is.

I've never said that. It's just that matters upfront the most. Most people are not interested in giving others a chance because we don't live in a world of scarcity anymore for dating. If a woman is interested in dating - she can open an app and get a date setup the next day. It almost doesn't matter who the woman is. The same cannot be said for most men. This leads to people in real life knowing there's an alternative and banking on that alternative. Yes, maybe they want to meet someone in real life but if real life isn't delivering what they want - they go online and can find something closer to what they want.

The data backs this up. The general narrative of dating currently backs this up.

Ultimately - the strategy doesn't work great for marriage or long term relationships (because the men they tend to match with are not willing to commit to them) but it does work great for casual dating and getting sex.

Again - you have to ask yourself - how many people really want to date someone they don't find physically attractive? The data says women are more picky about this. Most women find most men physically unattractive and they don't want to date physically unattractive men. This just isn't the case on the other side.
It doesn't prevent much in this particular case though. I closed my Facebook account some 12-13 years ago and I recently contacted them and asked to see what data they had on me (under the GDPR, because of shadow profiles). They absolutely refused to neither confirm or deny that they were building shadow profiles but kept repeating that if I didn't have an account, they didn't hold any data on me and then followed up by answering that if someone let Facebook rummage through their contacts and I was among them, then they'd of course hold that data until that someone decided to delete it... So, yeah...
fyi, 23andme decodes less than 1% of your genome. Full decoding is getting cheaper every year. New genetic papers come out every week. Even if you think it isn't that big of a deal at the moment, who knows what will be able to be inferred from a full genome in 10 years from now.

If we can't prevent it or stop it altogether shouldn't we still try to minimize it? Or do we want to just have open season. Runts of the litter in nature tend to get bullied away from vital nutritional resources and dying - we've obviously decided it's a good idea to intercede in that case as humans so where are we drawing the line - where our neanderthalic ancestors drew the line? where victorians draw the line? where our parents drew the line? I think it's fair to consider that child rearing is an activity in constant evolution we should strive to make childhood a balanced experience to prepare children for life - that includes not exposing them to either excessive bullying along with coddling.
> Conversely, I would not share my politics with children, even abstractly.

Except, everything is politics. Even basic empathy is now (unfortunately) a prominent political issue.
How much of that totem pole exists just because kids are kids, or because of the arbitrary environment, imposed by the adults, wherein they find themselves?
Did you miss this part?

> We recognized that children are political beings, actively shaping their social and political understandings of ownership and economic equity — whether we interceded or not. We agreed that we want to take part in shaping the children’s understandings from a perspective of social justice.

I'm sure that the children of the Nintendo generation frequently discussed the power dynamic of King Koopa's dictatorship over the Mushroom Kingdom, and the systematically oppressed Shyguys, who have to cover their faces in public.

Ask HN: How do you implement audit trail for a product?

The initial C++ designers produced a language which was still very understandable, and in which you could easily write bullet-proof programs.

In C++98 (the first ISO standard version of C++) you can fairly easily organize a program such that any low-level activities are confined to classes that are almost impervious to misuse by the rest of the application, so there will be no memory misuse or leaks, or out of bounds arithmetic.

If Rust takes off, there will be widespread use of its unsafe parts by programmers who are under pressure to deliver something and take the obvious route of telling the machine where to put what bits, exactly like what C++ programmers have been doing.
I found the Apple parental controls worked pretty well - set max hours per day, set bedtime after which apps are restricted.

Ok but if I run a bank I don't want to hire Bernie Madoff, no matter how much time he served. So having the government tell me I can discriminate based on conviction for financial crimes but not drug possession more than 5 years ago seems reasonable. At least to improve the status quo.
No no, it's not an alternative to Airtable and Google Sheets, it's much more than that! Seeing the demo, coupled with the Python support, I felt like anyone could built a complex SAAS like Salesforce on it.
I did, but by that point, is the damage not done? The children have seen their words twisted and the Legos taken away, only to be brought back after blame has been laid.

These people talk about singling out done by children when in this very same article they have singled out two children making "assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive". That is a lot to lay at the feet of children over the misappropriation of Legos.

Do you not think this all could have been headed off before the banning of Legos with the same discussion tactics that happened post ban, post tantrum and pre-blog railing against the woes of a capitalist society as seen through the perversions of a small child?
Maybe there should be a BLM ETF with all the organizations in one bucket? Then you can spread out your risk in case one of them actually intends to be legitimate. Excuse the sarcasm.

I don't think RSS is a bad thing, I think it's just not sexy anymore and the reading experience sucks - it died for me when I stopped using Opera but I do think there's an app/extension plugin play to bring it back. Most newsletters, alerts would be better as content delivered through a push/RSS model.

No thanks.

I spent five years living on a street with very large sidewalks (at least triple-wide, if not quadruple wide). Cyclists and scooter riders were just as inconsiderate of pedestrians. Traveling at dangerous speed, weaving across the whole sidewalk, and parking the vehicles in remarkably inconvenient spots were all very common behaviors.

The problem is cultural. People in larger, faster, more dangerous vehicles seem to think they have right of way in shared spaces and that everyone else should get out of their way. Anyone who's ridden a bicycle or a scooter on a road also used by cars will have experienced this.

Compare this to Tokyo, where there's less space, more of it is shared, but people don't behave like I've described above.

"But a better analogy would be if an AI generated a computer game that another computer can learn to play."

Doesn't the latter AI have a policy which contains novel information that does not exist in the former AI?

Even if what you say is true in some abstract information theory sense (and I would question that), there is a world of practical difference in the usefulness of a trained self-driving AI and the game engine within which that AI functions.
That's interesting and seems like an easy work-around. Just create the first account with a Microsoft account, and then create your real account afterwards as a local account. Then delete the first account you created and you have no more links to the Microsoft account. Seems too easy.

Serious question: do you feel that critical thinking is important and should be taught in schools?

If so, consider how that itself is a "belief" that has at times been explicitly rejected by local political parties.

In other words, there's no such thing as value-neutral education.
> So they all got together/started to date as complete strangers?

Yes or as loose acquaintances (they would never call each other friends or anything of the sort - just that they knew of their partner but that's about it). Not everyone was like random bumping into people off the street but almost all of them were not that far off from that.

I know dozens and dozens of relationships and none of them were friends before they got together. After all - they all needed to find each other physically attractive. If they didn't - it was never going to work. That is one thing that is remarkably common among all of them too - they all distinctly find their partner when they met them and now as physically attractive. There is no bridging that gap and no amount of "power of friendship" will fill that hole.
If only we could all get together and do something about that. It might take a monumental effort but if we all work together we can eliminate Socialism in our lifetimes! And, if for whatever reason, we fail - we can always teach our children how evil Socialism is so that they can carry on the fight to oppose indoctrination.

Sure, but what about the DRI (does Microsoft have those?) for Windows? Surely he's signing off on all this?
Some schools out there encourage students to do as much as they can with the terminal (at least, for the first semester) and a simple text editor.

The side effect is that there’s no IDE magic behind builds (it’s all plain makefiles and command line tools the students can run on their own). There’s no smart completion, so you have to go out and browse man pages or official documentation.

> People have been saying this about schools since forever.

It's been true since forever.

> FWIW your anecdotes don't match mine. My public school stories are all about learning critical thinking, being allowed to think way outside the box, and being rewarded for questioning authority.

Those are the values that schoolteachers publicly espouse, but even if they want to live up to it, they can't. It's impossible in an environment where they have to train kids to perform standardized tests, and have to keep an overcrowded classroom from turning into a madhouse.

> [the rest of the anecdotes]

Yeah, I had cool teachers, too. It really doesn't take away from the extremely rigid structure of the environment. It helps make things bearable, but the best-learned lessons are the ones you experience, not the ones you read, and what you learn in school is sitting in a desk, doing what you're told, giving your input only when prompted, and that the authority figure standing in front of you has to do things they don't want to do just like you do.
I'm not against Nix or any package manager. What I'm against is the general fragmentation of Linux that makes interoperability between distro's and window managers problematic. If there's every going to be a Year Of The Linux Desktop (TM) then there must be a way for a user to fulfill the expectation that they can select "Linux" instead of "Mac" and "Windows" when downloading software, and when they double click or drag it or whatever, it just installs without a fuss about which distribution they're using or which UI libraries they need or which package manager they use.

How do you share code files (set volume mounts) with remote docker via setup?
> Such a thing doesn't exist because it's not in test equipment suppliers interests

Test equipment suppliers are MORE than happy to hand you very expensive test equipment on very expensive leases. They're not the bottleneck.

Such a thing doesn't exist because it's a complex technical problem which requires uncommon system engineering knowledge followed by a complex technical problem which requires uncommon VLSI design knowledge.

All to produce something which then will require an expensive, complicated dance to get certified with the carriers.

However, if you did produce such an open source chip, the Chinese suppliers would definitely jump on it. You just wouldn't make any money.
I think you're conflating the fancy words put on it by the article-writer with the concepts as expressed by the children. On the conceptual level, all of that is entirely reasonable to see emerge from a group of broadly well-mannered kids.
> Seriously, count how many times the article mentions "power", and count how many times it mentions "share".

Why? What would that even tell me? Toy-hogging is one of the earliest and simplest examples of a power imbalance a kid will see. Teaching the kids about the power imbalance directly instead of just decreeing "you have to share" is outstanding teaching, and certainly much more effective. These are some lucky 8-year-olds.

Regardless of regulation, I don't see anyone who has to disclose a criminal history getting a job, unless the employer is already open to giving formerly incarcerated people an opportunity. IMHO, criminal background is a screening filter, not a thoughtful decision point. So while your criminal history is being cross-referenced with the regulation to see how you qualify, the potential employer has already labeled you as an "ex-con" in their head.

>Getting you an MS account is one small step away from charging you monthly for the privilege of using the computer that you've already paid for.

That's already a thing - unfortunately - the only way to get Windows 10/11 Enterprise is via a subscription, though they're careful not to word it as such. There are three ways to get it: (1) you can either buy it through the volume license channel which requires an active software assurance agreement to continue legally using the latest build [though you can legally reinstall the LTSC branch for as long as that's supported]; (2) you can also get a subscription for Windows E3/E5 for ~$84/yr from M365. Which, if you price out the volume license with SA it works out to about the same yearly cost as M365, funny how that works. (3) Finally if you're an MSDN subscriber you get some number of non-prod keys for Windows Enterprise.

So I agree with you 100%, the writing is on the wall, Windows will absolutely become a subscription service in the next few years. (Thankfully I've been distancing myself from Windows in anticipation of this event. As soon as it was described as "Windows as a Service" in marketing material I immediately installed Linux on my main workstation, and stuffed Windows inside a VM w/ PCIe passthrough for the GPU.)

My guess is they'll bundle Home into M365 family, Pro will remain available to consumers in the OEM channel, but will primarily be meant an upgrade available for M365 business subscribers, and Enterprise will remain mostly unchanged as the volume license option.
