I have the feeling that people like musk or that crypto CEO yesterday are just chomping at the bit for the opportunity to appeal to the supreme court.

Someone will get to have their name attached to the decision declaring any government interference in how a business is run unconstitutional.

Unions, 40 hour work week, desegregation, certainly employment discrimination, OSHA, the ADA? I worry people like Musk know they have the money to take it that far and that the supreme court would love to completely deregulate businesses.
I have to object, while not many algorithms exists, one of the most famous ones, Grovers algorithm [0] is also one of the most general ones and quite powerful. It reduces search of 2^n items to about 2^(n/2) while using n q-bits. Thats just the square root of a classical algorithm.

> while developers decided that writing all library code in headers is a good idea.

It wasn't developers who designed C++'s template model which requires generic code to be fully defined in header files.

Inheriting C's textual include file based "module" system and then bolting compile-time specialized generics is a choice the C++ committee made, not C++ users. It was probably the right choice given C++'s many very difficult constraints, but that's what directly leads to huge compile times, not dumb C++ users.

I think the case for activism like this is fairly simple:

(1) We need a managed decline of oil that does two things. One, achieves cost-effective emissions reductions on pace with limiting the rise of the global average temperature to 2C. Two, retains enough production for those activities that are difficult to find carbon-free substitutes for, like the kind of heavily concentrated thermal energy key to a lot of industrial processes.

(2) We are veering far past that trajectory. The policies of the governments of the world currently put us on course for an average expected 2.7C warming. [1] Current production plans suggest that in 2030 the world will be producing something like twice the oil it should. [2]

(3) We should use whatever sensible means possible to push oil production down towards the decarbonisation slope consistent with 2C (and ideally towards 1.5C), including - if and where it works - litigation.

Our unit economics are strong for all businesses, so we don't anticipate ever having to do something like this.

Banking is our primary focus, not an add-on feature, and we invest significantly on the product teams that enable strong unit economics in banking for the long run, like partner integrations, support experience, and onboarding/risk.

There are ways. Company I used to work for would routine bulk block rooms in certain situations. Once we showed up we would either go to the front desk and only have to give our name and company name and we'd be handed a key with a room number. Sometimes as we checked in at the ops center for the situation there would be a stack of keys with nothing but room numbers and you just got whatever was next on the stack.

It's zero sum. You're hurting your fellow citizens by diluting their labor. You may think this is a righteous position, but from the perspective of a nationalist, you are strictly harming not helping your fellow countrymen, and therefore you set yourself up as their enemy.

And the prosperity of their own country. It is "selfish" yes. But a selfishness that extends out to their kin and their neighbors. They recognize the world is an arena of competition for scarce resources and power, and so they fight for their community and country to be as prosperous and powerful as possible, because they know foreign nations will do the same for their own people.

I mean, GNOME is the default on several commercially supported distributions. Redhat is the largest contributor. Granted, a lot of those commercially supported distributions are for customers who don't care about GUI uses but Ubuntu and RHEL/Fedora have a decent number of workstation users. KDE/Plasma have much less commercial support (AFAIK) and are probably closer to what you're saying, but at least to my tastes manage to be much more sensible.
Serotonin does not cross the blood brain barrier. Quite often neurotransmitters are used in different parts of the body and have different purposes.

Gut motility is driven by the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system controls colon motility, and the parasympathetic controls digestion and stomach emptying. Depending on the type of depression you have, it can alter the HPA axis up or down. Let's say you have the "don't want to get out of bed and do anything" type. In that case your HPA axis is likely underactive. That results in reduced sympathetic nervous system activation (as it operates in parallel with the HPA axis). That then results in reduced colon motility and constipation.

Sometimes often I get constipation at weekends for this reason. I'm not depressed, but if I don't do much at the weekend after a busy week then (I assume) my HPA axis reduces, and that causes constipation.
I didn't advocate that anyone ship production code written in C.

I advocated that people write programs in C and run them to see how fast executables can startup and run.

(Dart isn't great for that because while its runtime performance is pretty fantastic, it does still take a hit on startup because it's a VM with a fairly large core library and runtime system.)
That's odd. Suspending an ad account means losing revenue; I'd expect them to be very reluctant to do so.
(1) Rock is not very dense; pig iron density is 3x rock's. (2) A cube is not the only shape, for a weight. (3) Total capacity is not the only parameter of interest, for utility storage. (4) There is not only one mineshaft. (5) No utility is restricted to using only one kind of storage; different kinds favor different parameters, and we may expect utilities to use different kinds at the same time to maximize value and minimize cost.

Assuming utilities will do the stupid, expensive thing leads to failed analyses.
Eh, I don't know. I'm friends with several people who grew up in this cult, two of whom are still peripheral to it because their families are still involved.

The cult definitely has a lot of weird and sketchy takes. And the leader definitely has a lot of sketchy stuff (particularly in the past) around younger male members, though there seems to be an attitude around it among the Fellowship people that the allegations aren't black and white -- these people aren't thinking of what has happened as sex trafficking or grooming.

For my friends who are still peripheral? Their experience is primarily of a loving community (with some definite weird crap and skeletons in the closet). They're well-educated and fairly skilled in their fields, and while they have some strange (primarily Buddhist and Sufi-inspired, plus some more niche California-original stuff) beliefs, they don't push those beliefs on people. They do understand that Fellowship is a cult, though as far as cults go it's on the less-nuts end, and they have a murky relationship with that fact. Lots of people who live in the Fellowship community in Oregon House aren't actually members, as well -- this particular cult doesn't try to separate its followers from the world.

So when I read this, the hiring stuff looks sketchy, but it's not uncommon at all. The wine procurement, as others have noted, appears not to be clear-cut as the winery is owned by a former member of the cult, and not the cult itself or current members -- it should be looked-into but may be above board. The firing? It should be investigated, sure, but he (as a contractor) was stirring up trouble in a team because a lot of team members were either members or peripheral to (and in my experience, the latter tends to be more common for tech people) the Fellowship community in Oregon House where the cult leader has pretty likely done some very bad stuff. But have the people on that team participated in the bad stuff? The author assumes it, but I don't think that's a good default assumption. I'd assume basically all of these people were raised in the community, and that many or most are not actively involved in the cult itself, because that seems to be the standard story there.

I'm not saying Fellowship isn't sketchy, or that the allegations shouldn't be investigated. I just think there's a wide spectrum of cults (including some that self-describe as cults and are totally voluntary and don't brainwash -- if you meet enough people in the Bay Area you'll eventually stumble on some), and that this one is closer to the level of sketch you'd expect in a small-town evangelical church with some skeletons than something like Jim Jones, etc.

On the other hand, if you do it yourself you'll see all the people who block all contact between their browsers and anything they can identify as an "analytics" site.

I don't have time to screw around with figuring out what uses third-party cookies, what uses browser fingerprinting, what correlates information across sites, and/or what tracks what how in general, nor to check all the time to see if any of that has changed. I'm just gonna block all of it, because it's not worth the investment of my time to make such distinctions. The most I could get out of it would be slower page loads.

Actually, I'm not even bothering to make THAT decision. My ad blocker blocks GA by default, and I'm not going to worry my pretty little head about unblocking anything unless something breaks.

It's not hormone replacement therapy in the same sense as is used for relief of menopausal symptoms in women or symptoms of testosterone deficiency in men.

They don't have any actual hormone deficiency. Instead, they are using hormones for cosmetic purposes, to give themselves an artificially masculinized or feminized appearance in accordance with how they desire to look.

It's more akin to people with anorexia starving themselves because they hold a belief that they are obese and must be thinner.
I'm not sure it's clear that the people who are being fired are directly responsible for the letter being made available to the media. From what I can tell, the letter was circulated internally by the authors and leaked by an unknown number of individuals. If by "defect on the company" you mean "leak the letter", then the company appears to be punishing the wrong people.

One could argue that those writing the letter should have known it would be leaked. But you could also say that about any kind of internal criticism. I'd counter that this argument has the 2nd-order effect of preventing any kind of internal criticism, constructive or otherwise, lest it be leaked at some point in the future.

Not to mention, the "demoralizing" label could also be applied to Musk's public behavior, which is the bulk of the point that the letter and its authors are making.
These aren't inconsistent.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences, if said consequences do not restrict future freedom of speech.

Remember the whole thing about Musk buying Twitter? One if his reasons for doing so was because he believes Twitter is "censoring" conservative speech. But Twitter is a private company, running a private service, so your strict government-focused interpretation of free speech clearly wouldn't apply.

Musk has stated in his own words that he is a "free speech absolutist", and given his complaints about Twitter it seems that his interpretation of that is not limited to government censorship, but all censorship.

Comment threads frequently switching (without notice) between US-only topics and worldwide topics, so sometimes it's hard to know which is which. In this case, I thought the topic was international and didn't grasp your comment was talking US-only.
It's a fair criticism, albeit written with an entitled flavor.

Where these 5 employees went wrong was in writing it as an internal memo, and attempting to rouse the rabble. That's clearly unacceptable and they misjudged how swift and certain the reaction would be. I do wonder what they were expecting.

Where they went wrong was by posting their criticism as an internal memo using internal resources. They should have taken to twitter.
Could you elaborate?

I normally follow your comments fine, but not this time ^_^

I'm not sure I totally believe that. But loud, public, insubordination is a fire-able offense in most companies. Create bad PR for your company = ticket to firing. Even in the companies that pretend that isn't true, they would still fire you if your "call out" wasn't socially sanctioned.

>But forums did have better moderation and actively prevented flame wars.

I don't recall a lot of moderation and I do recall flame wars. I think most of the moderation was social norms, especially in an environment where many were posting under their own names from university/company/government accounts.
And there are probably not clearly defined rules for this. What would need to happen now is for them to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board and that group could make a ruling about whether this is protected activity or not.
It's not far fetched. Microcontroller programming should not be seen as magic.

And microcontrollers will never get abundant capacity because smaller and more efficient means less battery, no matter the tech level.

So it's not like "everyone should know the history of the PDP-11" which I would disagree with.

During my schooling we built traffic lights and stuff on tiny machines, and even in VHDL, even though desktop machines were hundreds of MHz. They both have a place still.
Exactly, if they didn’t care they’d leave, instead they risked a lot in an effort to save the company from its teenager CEO.
If the employees had posted on twitter instead, he totally still would have fired them. Musk just wants to be able to speak without consequences, while he’s perfectly happy to impose consequences on speech by his employees

Surely they feel a bit intimidated now. The Stasi also left a lot of people alive in East Germany as well, doing just fine.
I disagree, the reason almost all ‘functional’ programming can not be said to be referentially transparent is because of the level of abstract the designers take as a base. The work Greg Morrisette did (which include Robert Harper for some branches) on Typed and Dependently-Typed Assembly could be used as the basis for a ‘C-level’ programming language that is ‘functional’.

At a slightly higher level, if memory is explicit, and that would include input and output buffers and the like, then it is possible to make functions exist inside a ‘memory monad’, similar to Haskell’s state monad. Then any and all operations involving the memory used can be made referentially transparent.

Now, the real question is would anyone want to program in such a style? I know I wouldn’t mind, it’s while I broke down and designed a personal programming language for my daily use. But it’s a matter of taste and tolerance.
I do not take NFTs seriously myself. They have zero investment value as far as I am concerned.

The tech used to produce tickets electronically has merit. I do not endorse doing that. Just am saying that someone could do that.

Like existing tickets, they have no intrinsic value beyond entitlement to attend an event, or whatever is ticketed. Maybe proof of attendance, like people keep old tickets for now, has some minor value.

Otherwise?

I pretty much do not care about NFTs and see the deals done as a fad, or experiment at best.

In the sense Steve talked about, perhaps one could present an NFT to gain entry to an special event, or see products in a store that others cannot, or some other ticket type task.

Sure. Maybe. If that all worked in a lean way, where the artist sees the lions share, it could be good and making that possible is a good living for someone maybe.

I would not use such a system, unless it were truly small and lean. If it is somehow about making someone else a ton of money, count me out. I can donate to an artist and know they get the money and also know it costs me the least possible to do that.

> If you don't think the CEO is doing their job well, you leave the company, or hunker down and shut up about it.

If nobody ever speaks up, then how does change happen? Say you dislike the CEO or other executives but like the company. Then you can vocalize this and change happens and you stay, or no change happens and you leave.
I read all the comments that were posted prior to the morally outraged top-level comments before I replied. There are very few (maybe 1-2) blaming the musicians, expressing anti-union sentiments, or anything like that. And of course, the first few comments are rarely representative of the general sentiment of a discussion, which is why I said the morally outraged comment expressing disgust was not necessary. I also agree musicians should not have to work for $17,000 a year, or $34,000 a year.

The morally disgusted comments at the tenor of the discussion were posted 8 and 9 hours ago, respectively. The sole comment posted prior to that, as far as I can tell, with anti-union sentiment was

"If the musicians weren't unionized, wouldn't they all be better off right now since they'd still be employed?"

which has a bunch of pushback in the replies immediately. So again, the point that the moral outrage at the HN crowd and their anti-union sentiment trying to force the musicians into poverty seems unnecessary.

"many of them back this management being disappointed that performers and their union destroyed this public good by not negotiating when offered lower compensation"

I don't see many. Feel free to share (posted before the morally outraged comments, of course).

I have been using Jinx for some time, evaluating it for use in an environment made for first-time programming. In particular, to me, the function signature syntax is by far the most interesting part of it. I’ve never seen a language before that has optional parts (`function {x} (is) divisible by {y}`), alternative parts (`function {x} is/are even`), or a variety of argument passing styles (collections with/without wrapping parentheses, labeled arguments).

The tutorial document is quite well written and is a great read to understand the language more.
