One of the great things about Islam and also one of the problems where race and law are involved, is muslims have an extremely diverse racial distribution.

When somebody says Muslim, a particular race doesn't come to mind amongst the informed.

So their experiences and perceptions in a society where race has historically been a reasonably large part of weighting can be drastically different.
How would such upload filters work given the presence of lots of Linux machines, where the software is controlled by mere users?

Wouldn't this sort of thing have the effect of banning open source software from general on-the-internet use?
It's not a bad idea to create channels for incidents. Ever tried to keep an incident timeline in a Jira ticket? It's absolutely horrendous. We used to automatically create a slack channel whenever a Jira incident ticket was created, and post it into the engineering channel with a message like "SEV1 incident, please join channel #INCIDENT-21". Slack is real nice for posting graphs, links, screenshots, going off on different investigation threads, pinning a status that gets constantly updated, calling out for people to join the channel using @you-hoo and running automations using bots. Jira absolutely sucks for live incident handling.

Of course, you still wouldn't have 8500 channels. That's a lot of incidents.

His “First Speaker Problem” is exactly why I’ve hated these discussions thus far; why is the speech of one person sacred, but speech in response to that person not? The idea that the First Speaker is, themself, responding to yet someone else is a great follow up that I hadn’t considered.

I also have very low expectations for this community’s ability to discuss this reasonably. So far is seems like folks are posting responses to the topic, rather than the article, and that hardly bodes well.

Regardless the etymology of the word phone, nowadays calling and sending sms is not the main usage of the device. Most people only make calls on emergencies only. In fact, calling when you don’t need something urgently is often considered rude. Anyway, that can also be done with FaceTime, WhatsApp, telegram, Skype, etc. Internet is far more important. When people make contracts with carriers most often than not they choose it based on the data and not minutes or sms. If you pay attention to ads by the carriers you’ll see that data is always the highlight, that’s what phones are actually used for these days.

It is the study’s author referring to damage, he wasn’t willing to say what kind.

“even in people who were previously healthy and had no risk factors or problems with the heart—COVID-19 affected them in such a way that manifested the higher risk of heart problems than people who did not get COVID-19.

It was really eye-opening that the risk was also evident in people who did not have severe COVID-19 that necessitated hospitalization or ICU care. People who got COVID-19 and were asymptomatic
…

Why would SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID 19, which we all thought about as a respiratory virus, attack the heart up to a year down the road?”

I am sure the author would love to preform a more detailed study, but calling his conclusions unscientific seems to be overreaching.
Also, about the 'name' -> 'names' thing ; I get that maybe the idea should be that I should keep the 'name' property around and just accrete the 'names' thing, and API should be immutable and all, but, just, 'No'.

Gain is relative. I’m certain that Putin sees all the western cultural influence (branding, company presence, movies, media etc.) of the 90’s and 00’s as unnecessary for the purity of the Russian empire. So if anything these companies backing out are a sort of gain for his power structures. I somehow too agree that there will be gain from this conflict for Russia - it just might not be what we all expect.
While the title says "Automation Is a Myth," the description immediately retreats to "full autonomy" and "universal automation" are mythical. Those are very different propositions. That motte and bailey maneuver turns the title into clickbait and damages the credibility of the book from page one.

You can get fired for having the wrong hairstyle --- that is a thing that in fact happens more often than firings because of cancel mobs. So we're not really saying much yet. Similarly, you can use the logic in your second paragraph to insulate any kind of speech at all from approbation; if you take what you're saying to its clear conclusion, what you're really saying is that it's never OK to boycott anything over speech. That's far beyond what even the most vigorous anti-cancel-culture advocates are saying.

Why are the articles about Africa that are posted on HN always about how strange and different they supposedly are? This isn't even tech related. Rather than focus on their technology industry, what gets posted is some strange folk belief of the poor-- as if people in the USA don't also have superstitions like black cats are unlucky.

These conversations seem to turn into a self congratulatory series of people talking about how they would never believe anything so illogical, in fact they don't even understand how you could believe anything so illogical. Though the intention is to place themselves as the more intelligent ones, this just makes me think people here are naive that they don't understand they've went through a lifetime of training to think that way and still have weird superstitions(ie romantic love is special as opposed to evolutions way of tricking you into thinking having sex is meaningful)

Shrug. I would — and have — had dinner with all kinds of people whose beliefs and behavior diverge sharply from what I think is advisable or ethical. Having dinner with someone is not an endorsement of their worldview, full stop.

Maybe this will sound corny, and I guess it probably won't land with non-Christians, but I'll offer my heuristic anyway: What would Jesus do? I don't think shunning is the answer.
It's an aspirational norm, but it's nobody's practiced norm; virtually everybody has lines they draw. So what does it tell us that we can aspire to having that norm? I'd argue: not much.
I'm not convinced that history is just repeating itself. There does seem to be something qualitatively different about the possibility that nowadays a non-celebrity can spout an offensive joke or political take and have it be much more likely to be recorded and broadcast to the whole world with permanent consequences for them everywhere they go. Bad decisions are far more likely nowadays to be permanently recorded, and moving over to the next town, state etc is no longer enough to escape your history. There were implicit safeguards before in that most people were much less likely to have a wide audience that would remember what they said. It was much easier to change your mind about something and then pretend it was your opinion the entire time and save face. There are organizations with pet issues that dedicate themselves to recording offensive social media posts by college students and then making profile pages for each student on their site to publicly shame them. In the past these kids could graduate and then change their mind years later and no one would be the wiser as long as they never became celebrities or politicians.
> I also think it's a pretty decent language. The things people don't criticize about Java are mostly complaints about a certain style of programming in the 90s and less the language itself.

(assuming that's a typo there, the things people don't like/the things people criticize?)

I disagree on that point, I think the language itself was a problem. Java 6 and prior were very very verbose and very very slow. I think that really changed with JDK 7/8, but the java we know today isn't the java of the 90s.

Even then, to some extent that problem hasn't gone away, it's just been papered over with frameworks and library code. Like honestly even as a java dev, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head the exact code to open a file, read each of the lines, and then close everything, or the right way to open a JNP connection to RabbitMQ or something. Anything touching files or sockets is still an absolute nightmare of boilerplate code, inputstreams, filestreams, printwriters, try/catch, and mother. fucking. IOException. thrown everywhere. But you don't care, because you just call Apache commons-io or Spring RestTemplate.

And that has contributed to some criticism of its own. Spring tends to turn into architecture-astronaut crap, like everyone's favorite AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean.

> Java was the first heavily engineering and marketed language that featured GC, static types, and OOP, so it got big and continues to stay big.

The other quiet boost that people don't talk about is Android. Tons of libraries get written with the intent of being used in some android app somewhere, but you can use that equally much on desktop/server. It really really helps the rapid-prototyping aspect of Java that ~half the smartphones in the world are running Android.

This, I absolutely agree with.

Adafruit is trying to keep access affordable, so the Adidas model isn't appropriate to their goals.
Such ageism.
A) Criticizing an idea so that others understand how it is flawed.

B) "Criticizing" an idea to get it expunged from various media to manipulate what ideas people are exposed to.

If you even pretend that there is no difference between A and B, you're not worth intellectually engaging with.

This was also kind of the case with the PS3. Its sales weren't fantastic at release, partially because of its... $600 (?) price tag. But even at that price, at its release, it was one of the cheapest ways to get a Blu-ray player, and many people bought it for that.

It does directly/partially contradict their statement though, i.e.

> The potential impact to Okta customers is limited to the access that support engineers have

Well the implication here is that the support engineer only had some limited set of tasks, but if that Support Engineer also indirectly had access to AWS keys then it suggests that Lapsus could have had broader access than just what the support engineer had direct access to.

I want to hug you and take away your pain. I can only imagine the strength of you and your family to go through this, and especially for this long. If possible, please get counseling for you and your wife. It'll help with your clarity, and could help you navigate through this mess.
I don't understand what's so hard about this problem - if you have a platform that's impacted by bots and scalpers, and if you want to do the right thing, or give the appearance of doing the right thing with almost no cost to yourself or your business, you should release your product in a fair lottery with reasonable purchase limits.

You have plenty of time before the product is released to register and verify everyone. You completely avoid traffic issues. Accounting is easy - you'll sell out when you run the lottery. You'll build a reputation for releasing inventory fairly and without causing undue stress on your customers, and avoid the suspicion that you're in cahoots with the scalpers (looking at you, Ticketmaster).

I'm accustomed to stressing out over concert tickets and struggling to get gaming consoles, and have a deep hatred of scalpers and the platforms that enable them, but I had no idea that scalpers were ruining the educational/hobby markets too. That seems really low.

Great work, I just cant see authorization feature. How does Appwrite handles this key concept right now ?
I think White has been pretty consistent about 18 USC 1001 being chickenshit, even when it applied to Trump employees. It's important to distinguish between normative and positive arguments; whenever White talks about 18 USC 1001, he's making positive claims. If you're, for instance, talking about the All The Presidents lawyers podcast, he was there to handicap what was actually going to happen in cases against the Trump administration. He wasn't running the prosecution.

And, when he does, he virtually always points out how that statute is more often used to harass people we find sympathetic, even when it's being aimed at e.g. Trump's former lawyer.

(18 USC 1001 for non-Pope-Heads is the statute that criminalizes lying to the FBI).
Sure, but the point here is that the NYT is engaging in B.
Yes, but that does not change the incorrectness of the statement: "There is nothing in the GDPR about cookies."

GDPR regulates collection and storage of personal data. Cookies are a means of collection and storage of such data. GDPR does not need to mention cookies specifically.

The ePrivacy Directive regulates public networks (cf. publicly accessible networks) and public electronic comminications services, e.g., e-mail, telephone, messaging. Many "tech" companies arguably fall outside that scope because their primary purpose is arguably not communications. GDPR, OTOH, is much more broad in scope and most would agree it regulates websites and "tech" companies.

The ePrivacy Directive addresses cookies specifically in Article 5(3). This "cookie rule" was not in the original regulation. It was added in 2009. The sudden increase in cookie consent requests on websites recently, and the subject of this Usenix presentation abstract, are probably not a response to the ePrivacy Directive.

The ePrivacy Directive is soon going to be replaced with something more up-to-date, with broader scope. Until that new regulation comes into force, there are obvious reasons why the Usenix authors would cite GDPR and not the ePrivacy Directive.

>For people to stop calling it "cancel culture" whenever they face reasonable consequences for actions they take that harm others would be a good start.

That's never going to happen. Such people have a vested interest in gaining sympathy for their views and actions by discrediting their critics as nothing but a hateful mob or a conspiracy to silence and oppress them, and clearly their efforts are working. "Cancel culture" has itself become a moral panic akin to the Red Scare.
nope. that being blocked from a page is not the definition of “cancel culture”.
What is their benefit to doing this? Do they just not ship there anymore, and this announcement is a PR move? Certainly they aren't sacrificing profit just to seem ethical. If they were worried about ethics they'd be concerned about the place of global shipping in the progression of global warming.
> Even if everyone got vaccinated, the virus would still get passed around.

That's not necessarily true. The virus needs to spread faster than it dies (look up the R value). Vaccines have eliminated other diseases, such as small pox.
I think this is less of an issue since these GPUs are not meant for the everyman, so basically the handful of server integrators can figure this out by themselves.

And for your typical dev - they'll interact with the GPU through a cloud provider, where they can easily know that a G5 instance is newer than a G4 one.
Then you shouldn't have any problem with what Ken White is saying here, because he makes that distinction at great length.
I wrote a condensed primer on probabilities for a few struggling students years ago so I was curious to check this one out. The concept is interesting but I think the execution needs some extra work. In parts I felt like the lemur abstraction obfuscated things rather than elucidating them. I have a lot of criticism, I hope you won't be discouraged by it.

You mix concepts from probability and statistics, I feel it would gain from sticking with either or separating them into different parts/books. Crucial probability concepts are relegated to the end (conditional probabilities, Baye's theorem, ...). The plan in general has some issues, I was surprised to see the expected value as one of the last chapters, and you actually reference it dozens of time before it's introduced. For example slide 15 which would mean nothing to someone who'd just started learning about probabilities.

I mostly skipped around but took some time to read carefully the chapters on random variables and PDFs because they're usually the hardest topics to grasp for a beginner (mostly because of the confusing notations). The "random variable" chapter doesn't introduce what a random variable is, it's about dependent and independent variables which are more relevant to the topic of statistical modeling. The PDF chapter is alright but I felt like it was stretching the limits of the lemur abstraction and in the end gave up on it entirely when you start talking about curves and area under the curve. Also, a couple of nitpicks purely about the form, but I don't understand why you refer to probability as "chance" throughout this chapter, and your numbers use too many decimals, you have the luxury of choosing your numbers you can use nice round ones expressed as percentages.

So to conclude, my advice would be:
1) Rework the plan
2) Drop the statistics
3) Restrain yourself to discrete probabilities. It's enough for the student to get an intuition of all important concepts and it will be much easier to explain. For example the chapter on PDFs could have been on PMFs and it would have been much easier to explain without compromising your abstraction.
What exactly would your objection be?

Personally, I would be open to such an experience. I am not so insecure in my beliefs that I would worry on that front. I might learn something about them and the nature of the world, and maybe they would too.
My opinion is that Joe Dingleberry* should shut up, because I've already heard his opinion and find it uninteresting. Are you open to my opinion, or just Joe's?

Seems to be keeping things afloat though. You would think if all the predictions were correct that mainstream media would cease to exist at this point, now that it's common for literally everyone to have a smartphone and social media. And yet, it survives to this day, so clearly there's demand for whatever they are serving.
