I am self-diagnosed with aphantasia :), but I understood the desire of the article to simplify by exaggerating most prominent features necessary for a given context, similar to what cartoons do (though I implicitly assumed they simply meant a "caricature" as opposed to any "cartoon", though I haven't looked up if my understanding of the specifics matches actual definitions of those words). So definitely not a blind spot for those with aphantasia.

Still, the article does an extremely poor job of showing how that is done well, thus fails in getting the point across.

Even the cartoon of a person example sticks out to me as not amplifying a feature, because I don't see the jaw line as a feature in the original face at all. If anything, I see non-existence of that jaw line in the original photo. As such, it's a great model for the article: bad caricature, just like all the bad math examples below.
HR typically conducts the exit interviews as they are a neutral party. It’s common sense as to why your boss shouldn’t do it... you know, since the feedback people have is often about their boss.

If you’re looking for the book of these basic rules, maybe take an HR class?
If the conditions are that bad, are they really worth the extra dollar per hour? Seems like the fruit packing warehouse is a better choice for most people. Worse employment conditions will always come with a pay premium under competition.

Yes, and also, at least for me, poetry, i.e., Sexton: "Poetry led me by the hand out of madness." Rumi writes, "Choose love! Choose love! / Enter the rose garden, / let your soul make peace with the thorns."
The point stands: It's a failure of an education system that leaves its citizens with no conception of what science is, or how 'progress' is made.

Also, it's hard to make the case that communication, plans, and COVID going endemic are the CDC's fault, when simultaneously the president's communicated "plan" is 'it'll just disappear' or 'just drink bleach'.
I would not disagree that there are commercial applications for knowing what are the most statistically used set of words (potentially) with games being the #1 use case I think.

My guess is that YouTube could easily build the exact same tool. The problem is when you roll it out across your entire site, the spammers figure out the holes in it and start abusing it.

I'm guessing the same thing would happen with this tool. If some large percentage of channels started using it, spammers would find the holes in it.

This will probably just develop a worker creole. In high school, we developed new underhanded profanity for the same reasons—-banned speech.

Sure, that's fair. I just think it's so minor that it's not any part of the reason. Companies with all their professional branding experts and such do things that are every bit as easy to ridicule, all the time. Mostly it goes fine and people take it the way it's intended.

Cult ideologies have no inherent properties that would cause the same, and yet no sane person would expect cult members not to shill for your their cult. Corporate shilling doesn't prove the opposite. It proves how easy it is to game soft science.

I think most people are not really aware of mastodon at all, I'm not sure how much of the problem has to do with the tooting and how much has to do with simply mastodon not having done any marketing whatsoever. Though I hear its popular in Japan?

Not only that but federation does have a higher barrier of entry, in twitter you go into their website and in a few clicks later you can fully experience the website. Mastodon, last time I checked was not so easy. Even a few extra clicks, a few extra decisions make it difficult to onboard people.

Is this in theory or in practice?

At this point it's a race against the clock and we're losing it badly. If we can't transition to it before it's too late, then that we could do it in theory isn't worth a whole lot.
In practice, this becomes “good intentions prevent punishment of bad behaviors.” It becomes a way for kind incompetence to belittle wise disagreement.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I will never, ever again complain about the density of a W3C RFP:

> The index space used by the granfilade is I-stream tumbler space. The wid of a granfilade crum is a tumbler specifying the span of I-space beneath the crum (i.e., the distance, in tumbler space, from the first to the last bottom crum descended from it). The widdative function is tumbler addition, therefore a crum’s wid is simply the tumbler sum of its children’s wids. Bottom crums have an implicit wid of 0.0.0.0.1 (i.e., spanning no nodes, no accounts, no orgls, no V-spaces and spanning a single atom). Granfilade disps are tumbler offsets in I-space from the parent crum.

> 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.

You're not allowed to say disparaging things about anyone in your command chain, which goes up to the president. There's also limits on your political speech, in relation to making political statements in favor of candidates.

The limits on your political speech aren't limited to service members, but also includes a pretty decent percentage of federal employees.

> 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.

I'm glad that the GI bill worked well for you. It does for most people, but note that not everyone gets the GI bill benefits they are promised. I don't agree with the OP that it doesn't cover enough for a four-year college, especially if you're going to a state school.

> Or if you wanted to serve with every opportunity in the world in front of you, the military is an option.

I agree with you, in general, but it's important to note that the benefit one gets, vs the risks one takes are heavily correlated to ones status prior to entering. If you're poor, with poor education opportunities in your past, the likelihood of being enlisted, and being in a more dangerous service (and post) are substantially higher. If you're rich and had good educational opportunities, it's likely you'll be an officer, in a better service and post, with relatively low risk (and substantially higher pay).

If I recall, the language that's used in situations like these is something along the lines of "Personal electronic devices will be governed under this policy when such devices are attached to the CPS network." So .. it's a "as long as you're going to connect to the CPS controlled network / resources, you must have software protections / controls in place".
It's one thing to use these tools yourself. It's quite another to walk around in public pointing a camera at everyone you look at, all the time.

You're technically correct. Using Gmail, Drive, Chrome, etc., does place a small burden on those you interact with (when they email you, when you store group project files, etc.)

But there's a whole other level of intrusiveness when you're roaming meatspace with a Google Camera in everyone's face.

Ask HN: Burger King's app won't send orders to BK stores, who can fix it?
Every time I used the BK app it charges me for the food but the store never gets the order. I checked the address that it was the right store and it said purchase was approved. The store never gets the order and I have to order again at the register. It is an Android Samsung phone and my son has a newer Samsung phone and it happens to him as well. I tried reporting it to BK but they never get back. Competitor apps work just fine just not BK's app. Anyone know how to fix it or tell BK to fix it? It is frustrating that the orders do not go through. We get an order number and get charged, but no order gets through. Anyone else have this problem?
It's obvious that they're making a point that there is never going to be an ideal realized... and so to speak otherwise is playing a part, and naturally would be called out.

And if Amazon is trying to set up a distribution center in your state, county, or town: fight it.

At the very least insist on language that prohibits any sort of corporate welfare. No tax breaks, no free infrastructure.

Bezos is the richest man in the world; he can afford to run a new sewer or water main to his big fancy warehouses, instead of making a county's worth of low-income blue-collar folks pay for it. He can afford to pay property tax. Etc

Same for Walmart.

Same for every fucking corporation.

Stop giving corporations breaks to "bring jobs" to your town. Soon as that corporation finds a better deal somewhere else, or the workers get too 'uppity', they'll shop around and move to a town more desperate than yours.
FWIW, I am self-diagnosed with aphantasia (I can't imagine any feature of my kids' or wife's face, for instance: I can remember those which I verbalised), and I pretty much excelled in maths and got a BSC in maths and computer science.

However, I want to point out that your repulsion to blood or gore likely has nothing to do with aphantasia: I frequently have my blood pulled for some medical check-ups, and I never had a problem with it, going all the way to being a kid.

Looks like you're getting downvoted, but it seems kind of obvious this is the case. Technology has allowed more people to exist, and more people are using more energy and more resources.

I think it causes cognitive dissonance in that people want the current world and lifestyle to be sustainable because they like it due to it having a lot of fun and comfortable things, and don't wish to consider the idea that it may just may be fatally flawed.
Antitrust Day: Tech monopolies shouldn't be allowed to control app stores
> The school is not intentionally installing spyware

Citation needed.

Here is a counter citation: https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/8xwze4/schools-are-using...

And here: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/11/us-stu...

Schools are doing this. They are intention into installing spyware and GoGuardian is one of the biggest offenders.

This should be brought up at the school board.
Same here. I can’t really use a monitor that’s less that 120Hz, even for engineering work. 60Hz monitors give me eye strain.

It’s impossible to find any KVM at any price point that works with 120Hz, and certainly not 120Hz@3840x1600. Forget about G-Sync.

I resorted to just keeping short USB and DP or TB->DP cable extenders plugged into the computer ports and have a “cable zone” where I just unplug and replug all the cables to switch machines. The short extensions are to protect the ports in the machines from wearing out.

It’s way cheaper than any KVM and it actually works.
Windows does this as well, and I would expect other management solutions to as well. You can build your own PC and be local admin on it, but the second you sign in to an active directory account (using a VPN for work) that account will be locked down and can run scripts that the AD owner chooses. I imagine that is what is happening here as well, where the user has signed into the school Google Workspace account (or whatever it's called these days). To avoid this, they could sign in to Google Docs and Google Classroom in a browser. (Although to be fair, Chrome does aggressively ask if you want to sign into Chrome with your account, and probably if you want to sign into the user profile on ChromeOS if I had to guess)
An oligarch refers to the fact that Elon Musk is one of the handful of people in this country with a huge amount of power. Anyone in the top 10 of the Forbes 400 is an oligarch by virtue of being on there, regardless of if they got their money by curing cancer or stealing it from babies.

Another way: oligarch described his current state, not the method of getting there.
Maybe consider this as constructive criticism? I'm sure a lot of people here are fed up with the existing social media platforms and would want something like Mastodon to succeed, but there's no way it will succeed if it shoots itself in the foot from the beginning with terrible branding.

Until Mastodon (or others) can seamlessly interoperate with existing social networks, they have to gain mass adoption to become useful, which means catering to what the masses think is appealing even if you don't particularly agree with that determination.
But not all tornadoes are F5. Two percent of tornadoes are F4/F5. The tornado that hit the Amazon warehouse was an F3 with peak speeds of 150 mph. It's hard to say though what the wind speed was when it hit amazon.

Tinygrad expresses its ideas succiently and clearly. It is not an exercise in code golfing. Close to the end of feature completeness they noticed it is hovering a round number and spent a minor effort pushing it down slightly for street cred.

Those changes did not impair readability or harm the project in any way. They did not go over board. You say they did, I reckon, just because you are allergic to any such changes - that is your personal subjective opinion. A waste of time you say! Bah humbug!

Well, yeah, so? Heh.

I say run it through black and make it objective, it is a great tool. It will reveal just how minor the difference is in this specific case.

With cause is correct.

However the definition of with cause varies by state.

Also, i genuinely dont know if refusing an exit interview meets that criteria.

Generally, exit inteeviews are:
- Not what you were required to to do in the first place
- Not a policy in the standard handbook
- Not a critical ad hoc work function

Therefore, the issue is murky and wouldnt pass HR review. I would bet most companies would let it go unless this decision came from ownership itself
>That this is the intended behavior, for any remote management to take precedence over any local management, is a terrifying security hole.

You've actually got it backwards. In an enterprise domain like this, allowing local management to take precedence over remote management and policies is a massive security hole for the domain as a whole not to mention required by regulatory bodies dictating information security for educational institutions. A locally managed node is effectively a rogue node on the network. There are use cases for it but they're specialized. OP most likely signed a consent form as part of the online learning stuff at some point and this is the consequence of not reading the things you sign. This whole thing is so massively overblown like no one here has worked anywhere with a BYOD policy and MDM.

It highly varies depending on POV, but for the railways the worse could be people piling up in stations with no idea if they'll ever get a train, and people piled up in trains, with no idea when they'll ever be able to get off.

Sure stopping all trains must be burning a crazy amount of money, but the above scenario would be burning the same amount of money (I assume they have refund policies or they'd be operating with no ticketing), employee sanity, and urgent care for anything that could happen during that time.

I have faith in Dutch people's kindness, the same happening in Paris would be riots and physical danger for the staff if they kept the trains running.
