Nothing belongs to “the Kurds” — this isn’t the 13th century, we don’t assign land to ethnic groups?

I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. Would anybody in the right mind say that Ohio belongs to the Whites? Or Chicago belongs to the Blacks? Yet somehow you’ve managed to completely misread my post, ignored the fact that the first mention of Mosul was in a reply, and then made a reference to a region “belonging” to an ethnic group.

It’s probably why hopelessly racist, hyper political publications like this one get a pass.

Outside the Middle East: “we’re all one!! Undivided!”

Inside the Middle East: “if you’re not divided on racial, religious and ethnic groups then you’re unhappy!”
> Would Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond dumping their homeless people into Seattle, as they NIMBY shelter/housing satisfy you?

That doesn’t sound like kicking out. That sounds like Seattle for reasons that I don’t understand inviting vagabonds from elsewhere in King County.

More to the point, I wasn’t referring to your local county politics, I was asking for specific evidence of rural communities shipping vagrants to far away cities as the person I was replying to implied is happening.
Disagree with Musk on this one. His follow up tweet "They should pretend to work somewhere else" implies that everyone who works remotely is merely pretending to work.

To make a blanket statement like this shows a lack of judgement. He further states that people who are particularly exceptional should be allowed to work remotely.

This means that a contributor who is substantially more productive at home than in office should be forced to sacrifice their gain in productivity if they don't meet the bar for "exceptional".

Furthermore, while the total number of "hours worked" might be more at the office, everyone knows that the number of fake hours worked is also higher.

Finally, the nail in the coffin to his argument is the following:
If someone can successfully pretend to work from home without any performance repercussions, there is clearly a lack of proper management in the company since performance is not measured by any proper metric of success but rather by their physical presence or hours worked. If an individual's productivity is found to be lacking due to their preference to work remotely, this should be communicated by the management chain and appropriate incentives/disincentives have to be put in place to guide the individual to perform at the level desired.

For roles that require you to be present at the location e.g. human resources or hardware roles, you can make those positions non-remote. Certain kinds of work like software development or design can absolutely be done remotely if the management is competent.

Lastly you can make an argument for innovation arising from the propagation of ideas and that this is more likely to happen if people are colocated. I think this is probably true but I also suspect that you can design a remote environment that allows this to happen even more effectively than in person. One idea that I think can work is to hold a brainstorming session with round-robin 1:1 discussions. You can form a fully connected graph of everyone's pairwise experience bouncing off each other which is more effective than the small k to many interaction that happens in meetings where an overconfident vocal minority comes up with most of the ideas.
I registered a domain with whois privacy turned on, the details (phone number, address, name) simply aren't masked and are visible on public tools. I read through all of the documentation and there's no reason for that to have happened, it's not on an exception list and it's not falling afoul of any of their rules. Not a whole lot else to say there, something is really messed up.
The basics are: you’re having an order book where you keep bids and asks. Then you can match market orders to that book.

Now you probably want that book in memory, and you probably want to have many of these books, one for each asset type traded.

Then you want some replication and fault tolerance, likely some ACID and guaranteed on-disk storage.

Many market orders probably should form a queue which is executed sequentially.

Etc, etc…

I mean I work in a high tech field and my European colleagues are busting ass as much as I am, I was surprised to see not much difference.

They probably get comp time in a much more formal way when days or week run long. In my US office, you just take your own comp time.

Why would a scientist need to publish images and plots on the web? Just write a blog post which is basically an abstract of your article and then simply put a link to a gorgeous PDF containing the full article filled with gorgeous visualizations.
It’s very disappointing to see the same old big tech false positive “no appeals” failure from Cloudflare. I’m extremely bullish on Cloudflare because I think the way Pages/Functions work with framework adapters is a compelling solution.

Why can’t anyone come up with a solution that keeps this kind of thing from happening? How much does it cost to phone someone before potentially ruining their life and why can’t we simply pay money for that option?
I totally get you and have experienced this at my current and previous job but I had totally opposite experiences at three jobs before that. It highly depends on the culture. Going remote first is not simply allowing remote work and calling it a day. It takes a lot of time and effort to cultivate a good "remote culture".
Doesn't look like it; the issue discussion about importing .ics files is blocked on finding a library that doesn't suck.

> @spec line in Elixir is just not DRY and inconvenient.

I'm guilty of regularly copy/pasting @spec from another function and forgetting to change the name, it's very inconvenient.

I wonder how much work it would be to allow type hints and for Elixir to transform them to specs (and maybe guards) at compile time.

Having made the transition in PHP years ago it always feels a bit archaic to write specs again.

Especially as you kind of doing it already when pattern matching a struct parameter.
Fwiw, The "To" field in the email is "ExecStaff" so it's not completely inferred.
Yeah, the Prius eCVT really spoiled me for any other style of power transfer. Even the smoothest automatic felt like crap after it.

If James Gosling was an unknown I wonder what your criteria for renown is.
Pay them and treat them well and with respect. Money can only hold someone for so long if they're treated poorly and like an inferior.
I was recently having trouble with it on a project I'm working on along with a book. I am still a bit stumped because I couldn't make it fail. I started to get suspicious when I knew a spec was incorrect (I just hadn't updated a type yet), but yet Dialyzer was happy. I even started to worry it wasn't configured properly or there was a state problem, but deleting the `_build` directory didn't help. Still not sure. I've used it successfully in another personal project.

Do you know of a good reference that discusses what types of problems Dialyzer is good for and what problems it isn't good for?
As a representative (?) of a popular library, it's not a great look to come in and put-down someone's Show HN project. Especially when you're also dismissing the entire category of libraries as inferior, while the reality is that both approaches have different costs and benefits
I'm a top 500 package maintainer apparently (I think for my work on ts-loader but I'm not certain).

This is great news. Some years ago an ethical hacker hacked me. I can still remember my shocked reaction upon being contacted by the hacker in question where I learned they now had the ability to publish malicious versions of npm packages on my behalf. This was long before supply chain attacks were well known and commonly discussed. A more innocent time.

The hacker in question gave me a simple piece of advice: turn 2FA on for your packages. Which I subsequently did. It's great that npm are pushing this. Yes it's a faff but the tradeoffs are net good. A little inconvenience is reasonable as compared to the alternative possibility.

I remain very grateful to the person who hacked me. If you should be out there: thanks - you did me a service
And they partially did with ReFS, only available in the server SKUs though.

I've stripped my old Dell Precision laptop down to barebones a few times now, too. It's over 10 years old and still works great as my daily driver after several repairs and upgrades.
As far as i understand, BWM is way more agile then Tesla is - they are planning (and executing) to be able to build any car and configuration on any production line - ICE / e-drive / hybrid. This has not been visible in Tesla's planning for the Berlin factory.
Isn't one of the major inhibitors for BEV adoption in Japan the fact that the power grid is 110 volts and people don't really have three-phase electricity in their homes.

Charging from a 110V outlet is an exercise in frustration unless you pull completely bonkers amount of amps.

On a 230V system you need around 10A for a practical in-home charger, that way you get around 100km of range over night.
I think the ExecStaff part was for dissemination - the 'routing' part doesn't make sense if this is limited to his direct reports
Well they will get OT and if they don’t like it can always find another job
Depends completely on the context. In an ideal world the pianist leads the tempo.

However, sometimes the composition makes this near impossible (i.e. there is a large section of the orchestra that has to start playing in the new tempo, such that a conductor couldn't both react to the tempo of the soloist and show it clearly to the orchestra). If it's impossible for the conductor to get the tempo from the soloist, then usually there is time before the first rehearsal to discussing those spots, and discuss ideal tempos for the soloist. As you can guess, there is usually the possibility of negotiation, either verbal during this meeting, or during performance rehearsal both finding a more ideal tempo for the hall, orchestra, and days sensibilities.

Schumann piano concerto is a decent example. Second movement tempo is totally decided by the pianist, no discussion is necessary prior to rehearsal (unless they want some particularly abnormal). The second theme of the second movement is with solo piano in accompaniment position. So while we want to accommodate their musical needs, ultimately the musical burden is on the orchestra (in this case the cellos), as a result the tempo will be mostly decided (contextually of course, it has to fit with the first theme) by the conductor. Third movement beginning in theory is lead into by the conductor, however after the downbeat the soloist can show their tempo and the conductor responds.
Majority of frontend developers don't even appreciate a simple aspect of science; browser performance get worse as javascript bundle size increases. I think we also need software engineers to appreciate more on science.
They're probably paid hourly and get overtime.
Yes, they are famous, mostly in code bases that aren't using static_assert with type traits, or concepts.

I've heard stuff like that, too. Seems like parties subject to the ban accounted for enough CFCs to do the job despite China and probably others.
My girlfriend's mother had this happen to her recently. They got in and changed her password, profile picture and name. Account recovery options didn't work, and also reporting the profile as stolen / whatever option was most appropriate on the form didn't achieve anything.

I found it quite confusing as to the motivation, and seeming gap in the armour of automated bans.

As far as I know, many people get instant banned if they attempt to setup a second profile for their Oculus or similar, I assume the motivation is to get a fake account that has history to avoid this. What surprises me though is that changing password, profile picture and full name in quick succession + attempts to recover / report don't trigger this mechanism/some kind of review process.

> As governments move more and more towards digitization, and embrace machine learning

I spent a decade in the public sector digitalisation of Denmark, a country that competes with Estonia about having the most digitalisation in the world.

I fully believe we should legislate against automated processes taking decisive actions.

It’s inefficient, but what I experienced in regards to laws is that they are way more messy than anyone working in digitalisation seem to realise. We build a system that let employees report their business-related driving, in Denmark you get a tax-reduction when you drive in your own car for work purposes, and the laws covering it is basically an A4 page of tax-law that seems sort of clear. You have 3 set of taxation rates that you get to deduct from, they are meant to be used for different types of work related driving. Simple, right?

Well, it turned out that in 9 different municipalities there was 9 different ways to interpret that A4 page of law text, and, more than a 100 different union agreements on how to extend or alter the tax law for certain groups of workers.

As hilarious as it was to sit through meetings with different sets of tax people from different municipalities getting into heated arguments about who was break the law, it was also sort of eye opening for me at the time. Because we made this as an OSS project where we bought the development that we project managed. My role was part of the project management team as a code-reviewer/specifier of sorts, and all our estimates simply went out the window when we realised we really had to build all those different ways of interpreting the law, as well as making room for future alterations. In the end, it didn’t extend the project that much, I think we still delivered it on schedule but it was a very different product with lots and lots of setup required, because the different municipalities needed to be capable of deciding which rules were turned on for which groups of workers, as well as control over how the approval system was handled by everything from tax lawyers going through every submission to secretaries to RPA robots simply clicking accept on everything.

The system wasn’t related to decision making automation that couldn’t be easily undone by humans, because it was still a relatively simple system. But if that sort of complexity is what you get from some of the simplest legislation we have, then imagine what it would look like for laws covering thousands of A4 pages of text.

That's just insane. Are US banks made of cardboard?
Tesla doesn't make ICE or hybrid cars so why would they configure their factory for that?
IME that's all true. To say that they need to do more to create a more positive environment for research engineers though depends on the perspective.

From the perspective of the university and the PI, they can just get a graduate student to do the work for 1/5 the cost.
Doesn't matter, a solution burned in ISO papers needs to work for everyone, not only for free source code advocates.
I feel like you didn't read what they said. There's a ton of things in any large corporation that need to be handled that need software or corporate admin work. Inventory management, logistics, people management software, end user servicing management, Tesla.com, general IT work, HR work, etc. I could go on and on.

Even as close to something like working on the UI for a vehicle -- I would assume they have the ability to run that in an emulator, in a desktop test bed, or even as a developer build in their personal car. And it's going to faster for most work to work that way (perhaps other than integration with a new model).

Also, I don't think most people are saying "never" with respect to going into the office. It's Tesla's CEO that's saying "never" to remote work.
Innovating too early usually fails. Wait too long and it's not innovation. There's an art to innovating enough that people want to buy what you're selling given the limitations of hardware/networks/ecosystems at the time you bring the product to market.
It is mostly due to differences in funding.

EU funding is typically small government grants or seed money. Investors are culturally a _lot_ more risk averse if comparing with the US.

None of the tech sector in the US would exist without NSF, darpa, and NY,SV investors.

Most of the success stories in the EU have been with companies that secured capital from US funds. The only exception I can think of from the top of my head is Nokia and ASML.
Because replacing light bulbs is cheap and easy and could also tie in to fashion.

Replacing walls is super complicated and messy and uncomfortable.
Not sure what are you so angry about. All of these jobs were done remotely during pandemic and out of sudden they just can't. This has zero logic to it. And is all about someone being emotional control freak.
Not sure if this is the same across the pond, but here in Germany this rings true. Most covid restrictions are gone, but a lot of teachers have burnout or similar problems, and some quit already during covid. This means the teachers left need to pick up the work of these colleagues, and schools and ministries are slow at taking on new teachers. At the same time, there seems to be a huge problem with the "covid generation" of teenagers, in that a lot of them a) don't want to put in the work and b) don't understand how school-work with physical presence really works. There is now a 2 year gap in physical education for high schoolers, during one of the most important times of their education.

I also see this now with the new Bachelor students in my department, professors are really confused by complaints like "this was only said during lecture, how should I know".
Does a network intrusion detection appliance make sense in the cloud?
Because pretty much every Asian country was a rural wasteland in the 50s and 60s, and hard work and education is what got a lot of people out of that poverty. If you're white/only speak English, Chinese 40-60 year olds probably won't talk about this in front of you, but it's a widespread belief in China that Americans don't know what true poverty is like and are thus lazy.
And Apple's manufacturing involves far more than just Foxconn.
"2. Society stopped valuing education as much. While once educators traded lower pay for the prestige of being a professor they can’t really say it is a worthy trade anymore as a vocal minority do not value education at all."

I can totally see why that is the case. Raised in a classical worker family and observing how my peers from childhood are doing, I can imagine where this is coming from.

Most of them were also raised as workers kids (i.e. both parents working in mindless jobs in a factory and earning barely enough to raise the kids), but some had the chance to go earn a BS or MS. Yet, they are financially struggling for severals reasons.
Also, they have a hard time explaining to their parents why they can't afford a house, vacation, a new car and all the things their parents never had, but wanted their kids to have. So all the reasons their parents fought to get them a good education are nullified.

I know getting a good education is of value in and of itself, but the reality is, that most parents want a good education for their kids because they want them to be financially successful, not for humanistic reasons (remember who attended universities in their beginning and why, it was aristocrats with a lot of time and money).

So to play the devil's advocate, what value has this education, if my kids still struggle in life, just they way I am? And why should I have "high esteem" for the people teaching, if what they offer has so little practical value?
If they're owned, based, and operated from within the EU, and do not have a dire record to their name, then I am very likely to trust them with sensitive things.
You realize that most people don’t really have a problem (or even think about) twitter/YouTube censorship right?

You also realize that people sign in the thousands for these services every day?

Also, which elections did YouTube and twitter sway? Provide proof. Tbh, a direct connection between trumps addled brain and the internet through twitter has a much larger negative impact on his electability than any kind of “deplatforming”. Twitter did him a favour.
I also like the "communication is clear" part. People might not like the content that is being communicated but at least it's clear and not infused with corpspeak.

I certainly agree - it was about 10 years ago now, but I did a physics degree and ended up pivoting to computer science. I offered to help a couple of friends in the department with their analysis, and ended up writing the majority of their code in actually analysing their experimental results. In both cases, their supervisor decided not to put my name in the resulting papers, and treated me less than a lab tech.

Why would anyone want to do that, when a six-figure tech company salary is just next door?
But most of the countries in the study didn't mandate medical grade masks.
The thing is, I don't suspect this is limited to just the exec staff. I believe the purpose is dissemination

'If there are particularly exceptional contributors ... I will review and approve those exceptions directly'

If this were truly limited to only the executive team, it's an existing point-to-point connection. No routing or extra direction necessary
Where in Europe? Because in Switzerland and France, the presence culture is more present than ever.
Let me answer this with an analogy. And I'm really not wanting to explore the analogy directly (so let's not get off topic) but it may help you to understand how this ends.

Why shouldn't there be a binding UN resolution that enforces public transport, and bans the production and use of cars to save us from climate change?

Or here's another even more contraversial one (again, let's not get distracted) why don't we have a UN resolution banning the personal ownership of firearms?

I'm hoping you can see from these why UN binding resolutions would be pointless - they would simply result in the ultimate dissolution of the UN. (uxit?)
What would be a legitimate reason that he can't publicly say why? Certainly he would be allowed to say that Intel or some other supplier doesn't allow them to share the specs. So it must be some other reason.
