It does not. There is no inherent property of Marxism that causes one to be more likely to publish "bogus propaganda". Indeed, we can demonstrate evidence of the exact opposite, with the bevy of bogus corporate-funded studies (the tobacco industry is particularly notorious for this, but is by no means the only one).

You are making a non-objective argument in bad faith to grind your axe.

The issue instead is that conclusively studying human behavior is hard, and effect size is often small, and it's inherently impossible to control for conflating factors.

Why “policy relevant” social science is mostly a fraud
I guess the main point is they were exit interviewed by the HR, but then the conversation was leaked to their direct manager. That's a no-no regardless of the OP was right in their accusations or not.
Envy. Some changes in language are fine, but these are very different things and it's nice to have words for both of them.
I've been really close to the money making side of things and it hasn't changed anything. I think it's all dictated by the culture of the company. Almost every time, I work on the things that are making money and then the politics, the games, and the noise just come through no matter what.

Maybe it works different in the physical goods space but as far as software goes - I see no difference no matter how close you are to the source of revenue.

Here's a ranking of greenhouse gas production by country. Sure, the U.S. produces a lot, but several other countries produce enormous amounts too. The U.S is also is a leader in developing green technologies and heading up political campaigns for better green policies. This doesn't excuse their other polluting tactics but it gives balance against the simplistic, politically biased screed you just wrote with specific irrelevant insults about SUVs and Americans.

Climate change is hard to fix, but it most definitely won't be made easier if the focus is just on blaming Americans for X and Y.

People have such short memories. It wasn't so long ago that mainframes were rented at exorbitant prices and all the users connected through dumb terminals so they could run bottom of the barrel user-hostile software (which was often also rented). Now it's called "cloud computing", and you connect through a similarly dumbed down device that fits in your pocket and spies on you.

No lessons have been learned.
Assuming you can find a spot for it, the other option is to live in an RV down on Lake Merced Blvd near SFSU or Winston Dr. going up to Stonestown mall. At least you're on land and can move it if you need to.
Whatever is in your power to do. As drastic as you can possibly handle.

Your personal impact is relevant - i.e. find a way to drive less or not at all (move closer to work, buy an e-bike), divest any investments you have in fossil fuel companies (index funds are a particularly hard one), switch your banking to a credit union (major banks fund many fossil fuel ventures).

But more important than you personal impact, is the group-impact you can have. Anything that impacts your communities choices, or economies of scale. I.e. don't just move closer to work and buy an e-bike - tell your friends about it, convince them to do it to. Then go to city council meetings and demand better cycling infrastructure. Vote and donate to political candidates who are committed to climate action - ignore the presidential race and do this at a local level where you can have a much bigger impact. Switch your home off fracked methane and onto electric, every customer the gas company loses, the worse the economies of scale are.

If you have influence or power over stuff at work, look for opportunities there - a good and simple one is pushing back against efforts to return to the office.

For everybody the actions are going to be different, maybe none of the things I listed are things you can do, that's ok as long as you figure out what the things you can do are and do them. Some people will be able to shoulder more than others. The only wrong move here is to do nothing because of despair or because it's someone else's problem to work out.

> Summary

> A recent study claimed small cash transfers to the parents of newborns improved their babies’ brain activity. The study was lauded in the media and by D.C. policymakers who argued its results supported redistributive policies, most notably the child tax credit.

> Closer inspection of the baby brainwaves study reveals its claims to be wildly overstated and its methodology to be suspect, as is common for policy relevant social science.

> Authors Troller-Renfree et al. committed numerous bad research practices, including:

> Deviating from their analysis plan, and justifying it by referencing studies that did not support and even contradicted their results.

> Highlighting results obtained through typically unimportant methodological decisions that weren’t preregistered.

> Ignoring that larger and more prolonged interventions typically generate smaller effects than they found, meaning their results were likely due to chance or error.

> Looking beyond the study in question, the theoretical and empirical basis it claims to build upon is largely a house of sand. The evidence that is purported to show a link between brain waves and cognitive outcomes is extremely weak, and most interventions seeking to improve cognitive ability in children have small to nil effects.

> Despite its inconclusiveness, the study was portrayed as relevant to child tax credit policy, vigorously promoted in media outlets like Vox and The New York Times, and championed by think tanks and policymakers.

> These issues are not unique to the baby brainwaves study. Social scientists frequently engage in questionable research practices and exaggerate the strength and implications of their findings. Policymakers capitalize on low-quality social science research to justify their own agendas. This is particularly true when it comes to research that claims to improve cognitive and behavioral outcomes.

> Thus, we ought to be skeptical of social scientists’ ability to reliably inform public policy, and of policymakers’ ability to evaluate social-scientific research objectively, particularly when it is “policy relevant.”

Yeah, one issue with Jamf is that they were at the whim of Apple's OS updates (certain features would become deprecated). This has huge potential considering how many tech companies have fleets of Apple products
I've had two exit interviews and I was brutally honest on both, and both times I ended up forming stronger relationships as a result of my brutal honesty. The first time I left for significantly more money, so it's an easy way to leave on good terms. During my exit interview, I gave honest feedback about the pay-scales and where I thought pay should be. After my departure, my entire team and the incoming new hires were given pay raises to exactly what I discussed with the hiring director and manager. While the author may argue that this doesn't benefit me directly, it benefited me indirectly in that my colleagues will remember me as the guy that helped them get more money and my superiors remember me as the guy that gave honest feedback and left for more money.

The second time around, I had a boss who I felt was a terrible leader and micromanager. I actually ended up having 3 exit interviews.. one with my boss, which was very short and I told him how he and his management style was directly the reason I was leaving. The next two interviews were with the CEO and an investor in the company where I was once again brutally honest about my bosses management style and some other negative feedback about the state of the company. While I may have burned a bridge with my direct boss, I formed a good relationship with a CEO and PE investor who even offered to help place me in any of the companies they invest in if I chose to stay with the company.

It's great to give your take on something, but the assertive titles on an opinionated generalization are getting annoying.

The Cost of Engaging with the Miserable
It can be true for the purposes of harassment that enforcement can be inconsistent, and that can work to a certain degree. When a matter such as this comes before a court the spotty enforcement will be a problem for the employer.

Employers exploit these sorts of things all the time to their benefit, and I am sure Amazon has/will - but when a critical mass is reached they will find that the organizer they fired for talking unions on company time will win. This is part of the reason that it takes an extraordinary effort to unionize.
Negotiations exist between two parties in a contractual relationship. Employment isn't a take it or leave it deal, it's give and take between two parties where terms of employment are decided by negotiations between both of them.
Along these lines, how would folks feel about their local town/county/state running a Mastodon instance? It's a community you belong to, and it would create a sort of "digital public square" as opposed to the privatized walled gardens we have today.

Is something like this realistic?
I think jamf is trying to be multi platform. Unfortunately for them MDM is a pretty crowded market, so they're probably going to struggle as Apple commoditizes their niche.

Same goes for work laptops and working from home.

The whole idea that you need to separate work from personal is based on the idea that if you use work laptop for personal work then they own it, that's an entirely made up constraint, one I won't accept.

In before bad analogies, there are plenty of industries that provide tradies with tool stipends, those are still owned by the tradesman but paid for by the employer do to their consumable nature. It allows tradies to buy more expensive tools if they prefer and encourages them to look after them better.
It’s disturbing that historical fiction, especially television, is so often used as evidence of some type of historical precedent. Regardless of the subject’s accuracy, television shows are ultimately written to evoke an emotional response which can’t help but color the viewers perception of the historical events. For instance, in Downton Abbey, part of the drama involves the relationship between the staff and the nobility. The focus on this specific type of relationship may make the viewer believe it was more or less prominent than in reality.

>We aren't going to make children work in mines, because (as I'm sure you know), adult workers and children are not the same thing.

once upon a time, this was not obvious. this modern moral axiom is a result of of hard-won labor organizing over the 19th century. all kinds of exploitative practices were justified with the exact same "the workers are being given an opportunity so they shouldn't complain" argument. it's not an analogy.

taking advantage of people because they don't have any other options is the definition of exploitation.
Toddlerhood teaches us all kinds of things, like closing a door with your fingers wrapped around the door hurts. We learn an awful lot about how to not hurt ourselves by hurting ourselves.

Me, I walked to kindergarten both ways, about a 3/4 mile walk, by myself. These days, it would be considered child neglect. I was one of those "free range" kids, as were all the others.

I received one of the last chemistry sets that contained a bunsen burner, copper sulphate, and experiments with hydrochloric acid. I grew up just before the "everyone is a winner" movement. In high school, my preoccupation was shredding tires on my Mustang. At about that time, the cops finally shut down the high school drags in downtown Phoenix, just before I was able to participate. What a drag :-/

I got an Eagle scout with zero involvement of my parents. I had my own business for spending money. I got into fist fights with other boys. I build a flame thrower out of a lawnmower. My mom despaired as the driveway was black with tire marks.

It was a good time to be a boy. And in no way was I different from the other boys. We'd shred their tires, too. During my entire K-12 time, the only two deaths in the entire schools were two boys who got smacked by running into traffic. No suicides.

I feel kinda sorry for later generations with their helicopter parents.
GoGuardian CEO here. Lots of misinformation in this thread.

Chrome extensions are attached to your Google account. Your son logged into his Chromebook with his CPS account which in turn installed the GoGuardian chrome extension.

The simplest solution here is to just log on to your Chromebook with a personal account. No enterprise policy will be applied.
It’s VPN software hooked up to external authentication.

So your SSH server wouldn’t even need to have a public IP. which is yet another guard.

And the proper authentication adds extra layer of identity guarantees so you know who can and can’t access network resources.
Yeah - I do worry about making a request that might "verify" some other legitament user's url, so I won't do this if the identifiers looks like consecutive numbers, but if they look like guids I'm perfectly happy to blast 10,000 or 100,000 random ones back at them.
Clearly you missed all of the people at city council meetings trying to prove vaccines made them magnetic. None of those individuals were taken away and talked to by the FBI.

As I read this post I kept thinking you had a rough time in service. This doesn’t match my experience at all. Then I saw at the end you didn’t serve, made assumptions based on stories, and had an axe to grind.

> The most important thing to realize about military service is that you sign away all your citizenship rights (free speech, etc.) when you sign up for the service.

False. I can say the same things as any citizen outside of my uniform. I am a US citizen with rights. I signed away no such rights.

> The other thing to realize is that, at least in the USA, they'll do everything they can to deny you medical benefits for injuries suffered in basic training, and this will persist after you get out

False. I have had access to every medical care I’ve needed, for free, for myself and family. This includes four major surgeries. I can go to an ER for free any time we have an issue. Zero stresses over medical expenses here.

> the 'educational assistance' is barely enough for a two-year vocational training program, certainly nowhere near enough for a full four-year college degree.

False. The military completely paid for my undergrad and masters at a high quality university (50k+/yr). Zero loans. They subsidized a second masters in software engineering. After all this I still have my full GI bill that I can use for myself or pass off to my kids for their undergrad.

> If you're a teenage with zero alternative options and are completely desperate for a way out of an urban slum nightmare or a poverty-stricken rural life, the military is there as an option.

Or if you wanted to serve with every opportunity in the world in front of you, the military is an option.
I read this article vs. the actually posted one, it has a lot of good points but also get a fair amount wrong, and the correction on the power usage is just the tip of the iceberg. That's why WaferScale do what they do, the power cost of off die vs. on die is massive, and enabling everything to be on chip means you can feed the design more easily and with less power.

For example, Nvidia's compute and consumer GPU line diverged a long time ago. Modern A100s have literally only one SM capable of doing normal GPU tasks, probably to support running a display on whatever Quadro version they end up increasing. They diverged in really specific ways, for example the P100 has hardware scheduling, where as the 1080 does not (in the same way at least).

Another issue is the author spends a long time talking about how important software and ecosystem is, then completely misses that point when talking about their own CHIP - just because it is RISCV and compilers exist for that arch does not equal CUDA. Also, big re-order buffers cost area and heat that could be spent on more SMs. That's why in order to beat Nvidia you must get more specialized, they've picked their niche on the CPU-GPU-ASIC continuum, beating them at the same process node requires ditching some stuff of the stuff an Nvidia GPU. Which is why they've been specializing their arch with tensor cores.

It just also turned out those are useful for gaming with deep learning to upres the graphics, as that's easy to accelerate than driving quadraticlly higher resolutions.

> humanity always accomplish miracles. Crisis unites: people forget about old feuds to care about each other.

I'm not intentionally Malthusian, typically Ricardian. However, I feel there are two things being ignored

1. The pandemic response shows that individual humans don't seem to care much for humanity

2. It's within our capacity to start acting now, rather than waiting for a threshold to be crossed where most, if not all, of humanity dies off due to +6C average temps with wild swings and the wild weather, infrastructure destruction, and more that brings.

> Indeed. But look at the time it takes to create new infrastructure (large building, hospitals...) in China when it's needed right now.

These large projects definitely seems astounding if you think they started the day the first brick was laid. In reality there is a huge supply chain supporting those accomplishments, pre-determined architecture, and more. So, establishing a base on Ceres for mining? We got that in the bag. Coordinating even more than the pandemic would have required to stem the tide of accelerating temperature increases? I admit pessimism.
I think the title included "Geomorphology" but I can't seem to find the exact instance. To be fair to geologists of that era, there wasn't a ton of evidence for plate tectonics at the time other than the matchup between continental boundaries. The mid-ocean spreading discoveries of a decade later kind of sealed the deal.

> If wikipedia is to be believed, DC is better in terms of conductor material costs and transmission losses than AC, at least for long distance high-power high-voltage transmission lines.

This is correct. DC is a much better choice for long distance transmissions. You don't need to worry about reactive power, skin effect, reactive elements of the line, whether the generators and the grid are synced or not etc.
The problem with DC voltage conversion are mostly solved as well.
You can almost hear the euphemism treadmill[1] accelerate beyond its limit.

They definitely misinform their audience for money.
Better yet, ask the school to provide a Chromebook if they want to spy on and control it. The owner should have the ultimate authority on what the device does - so the school should spend money for the power they demand.
