501c3 organizations have to be careful about the language they use when commenting on any government policy, even if they stay out of elections. It’s just hard to be overtly opinionated about things as a c3. The Sierra Club found this out the hard way when fighting a dam across the Grand Canyon. They converted to a c4 as well back then (well, the IRS forced them to).
If they shut down their german office, the people working there will get fired. If they're firing junior (developers,...), they're firing junior developers.. probably starting with least performing ones or whatever metric they use for firings. Using race as any metric is in my eyes totally racist. This is also true for hiring and "affirmative action".
I don’t understand what drives people into thinking that housing is the only thing that isn’t priced based on supply and demand.
Any plans to make it distributed? Generally need reliability and fail-over more than straight line speed of using all the cores of a machine.
Yes this happens right after they're launched. They're no longer visible after a few weeks.
It's really funny to see this kind of covid hero discussion where one accuses people who aren't ok with vaccine policies of being "conspiracy theorists" (ignoring the difference between disagreement with compelled vaccination and believing in some imagined conspiracy) and then getting a reply theorizing that there is a conspiracy amongst "adversaries of the west" that's driving disagreement with authoritarian vaccine policy. You can't make this stuff up
> The version with Linux, we call “GNU/Linux.” It is OK to call it “GNU” when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it “GNU/Linux” so as to give Torvalds some credit.
> and battery storage.

A note for all who might take issue with battery storage as too expensive, alternatives - albeit with lower efficiency - exist; hydro pumping, storing it in air turbines (8-9 hours, 95% efficiency iirc), even compressing air (this one goes to 85% efficiency iirc).

In large part because the argument has been, from Judges like Justice Ginsberg, that you aren't taking away anything from anyone by offering "marginalized people" special privilege. Which is an awful rationale since seats at a university or at a job via affirmative action are in fact using a limited resource, but the argument has some semblance of logic in that the position is virtual until it is filled. In this case, you are literally taking a thing away from people based on their race and there's no possible argument when the CEO states it in plain text.
I agree the statement is ambiguous. However, it does seem to be hinting at something.

What do you think "layoffs were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens" means?

Like, what concrete actions do you think they took to justify that statement?

Do you think it's purely window-dressing? That they did absolutely nothing different, and just included the statement?

I don't know if it's an authoritative source, but here's one of the top Google results for "what is anti-racisim":

"Anti-racism is also a system – a system in which we create policies, practices, and procedures to promote racial equity."

and

"Anti-racist policy creates systems that center the lived experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color"

and

"We refer to ‘racism’ as an interpersonal display of prejudice toward Black, Indigenous, and People of Color."

Given the above understanding of the term "anti-racist", if I were a betting man, I'd bet that the racial makeup of the laid off employees is not an even sampling of the racial makeup of the company.

What do you think?

On the wikipedia page for "CJK Unified Ideographs Extension H", under "History"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Unified_Ideographs_Extensi...), you can find dozens of linked documents describing why someone thought they should be added.

One random example I opened (https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2017/17099-haifeng-county-uax45....) is a 9 page PDF proposing a single character used for "congee shop signs in Haifeng County".
Look up regulatory capture for something that might change your mind about that.

Also the money they “give away” is given to their next generation typically not the public. Bill Gates would be the exception.

Opting out of fiat money (crypto is fiat in disguise) means living a rambo-like life of basic survival. Therefore a billion dollars sure means something. Not just paper.
You telling you never got a cent that you haven't reported to IRS? Doubt it.
> At what point would you suggest the government should have taken away that 8% ownership so he would not become a billionaire?

I'm not suggesting that.

It's ok if people are billionaires, if defined by having large holdings that, if liquidated, would shrink to non billionaire scales to give back to society.
OTOH concentration of capital makes companies like Tesla and SpaceX possible. It also makes large, self-sustaining charities possible.
I filter out the twitter recommendation and vanity system as much as possible, sticking only to carefully chosen follows for things mostly unrelated to politics. I check it a couple of times a week and find it to be a lot more tolerable than before filtering while still allowing me to have an easy way to keep up with people I can't reasonably expect to move to platforms like the fediverse.

Check out my battery life estimated comparing AWU and Fenix on the linked post. Battery life is not the issue any more. Ultra has 29% larger battery than Fenix 6X. But at the same time, AWU has 20-50x more powerful CPU. This consumes energy if/when you choose to use it.

Having been using Fenix 6X daily for 2 years, I regard it as dumb. It is a great activity-measurement tool and trustworthy companion on a multi-day adventure. But by no measure it can be called no more smart than old Series40 Nokia feature-phones can be called smartphones.
It's already on that path, and they either need to embrace it (pay janitors in San Francisco $150k a year) or change.

My personal suspicion is that the "desirable type" of town that San Francisco was is actually an unstable state, and the only way to permanently have it is to regularly move.
This is a pretty uncharitable reading of what they were saying, they were commenting on a general principle and how there was something about the economics of this that had potential if it were scaled up. They didn't imply that this particular instance was of particular significance; they were saying it would be if there were a general trend of this among _extraction companies_, and they conceded that this probably wouldn't happen.
Are there any suggesters built on top of these proof assistants that have been suggested recently? Like code completion engines but for proofs?
I am a designer and developer. You could characterize my role as "a developer with design sense" or "a designer who knows how to code." Either one is mostly true. I've worked inside organizations as an employee, and outside them as a contractor.

Speaking broadly, good design reduces friction. Design is a methodology to solve a problem. Maybe there is a form that needs filling out, or an important message that someone needs to know. Good design makes the form easier to fill out and submit, and the message easy to read and understand. Bonus points if there's a little bit of joy to experience along the way!

Different problems require different solutions. Sometimes they require large teams, especially when user or customer research is important. Sometimes small teams or individuals can get things done faster, because they communicate well with each other. Still other times, a single opinionated outsider can move the needle with management far more than an entrenched internal team.

What you are looking at when you see a user experience that looks 'nice' may have happened by any one of those avenues. With the best design, you may never even know.

Design is a job. Good design takes work. That work happens in the infinity of ways that any work happens. A solid understanding of the problem domain makes the solution obvious, and it's a designer's job to gain that understanding, and work out solutions.
ffmpeg can downsample audio to a more manageable rate. I use it to reduce hi-res flacs to 16-48, which cuts it down to a ~third of its original size and is supported in my car stereo and everywhere else. Can't tell any difference on playback.
"Tech" companies have soemthing to hide.

For example, consider the recent 11th hour settlement by Facebook, for the second time. Meta will pay anything to keep Zuckerberg from having to answer questions under oath in federal court.

Does anyone know of any companies where this strategy has worked?

Obvs lesser of the evils but the fear is that, at some point, the family or the fund, gets too far removed from the mission / founder (as is common with many companies) and ultimately chooses profits > environment.
My family has been using GroupMe this way for many years.
It is literally the number 4, and shows up on all the other shekels from 4th year of the revolt. Often there is a W looking character connected to it. Scroll to "First Revolt shekel, Year 4" on this page: https://www.amuseum.org/book/page14.html to see three of them (including one similar to the one in the article). One of the coins in the final set on the page also show it.

If you look closely, you can see that they stamped the new coin image over top an older one. You can see the shape of the head, and just about make out the face. They hint to that, and why it is, in the article.

Incidentally some people might think your comment is anti-Semitic.
I absolutely love SimpleLogin. It is open source as well, so if for some reason the SaaS platform ceases then you can use a VPS. They support PGP encryption and hiding subjects too. They also have an open source app in the Fdroid marketplace.
i'm pretty impressed by how close it is, at least from the screenshots. if you swapped out the logos for discord logos, there's no way I'd notice or even be able to tell you what's different if you told me
> They asked very politely for you to clarify some details after they tried themselves but were unable to verify it by looking it up.

Not really. GP straight up accused the OP of lying, under a thick but transparent layer of euphemisms. Coming at someone out of nowhere with accusations that "your story doesn't add up", specially after failing to do their homework, is the opposite of politeness.
Our tax law definitions of fair market value are sufficient that I think this is a non critical issue.
I use contactless to get money out of the ATM. It looks like they'd get my PIN in this method but they can't replicate the card, then, right?
These questions are the kind of questions you put up when you want to funnel some (or most) of the reports into the trash can.

One thing Twitter certainly has to deal with is hordes of people reporting tweets, even if they're "ok" - I have to believe every single Trump tweet received hundreds if not thousands of reports immediately upon posting.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

In terms of fossil fuel based clothing, specifically, they are a growing cause for significant harm in the environment, and clothing does cause real harm that has lasting consequences. Fossil fuel based clothing accounts for around 60% of our clothing. This isn't just a problem of "a few thousand jackets."

Microplastics regularly enter our water supply during laundering. This is a real problem that is causing real harm to our environment that will be very difficult to reverse.

In terms of how this relates to climate change; how Patagonia as a company spends it's profits will now be up to them. I hope they'll address climate change directly, especially in terms of real solutions, but who knows what they'll do?

However, I do know that if all fossil fuel based companies started re-investing all of their profits towards fixing the environment problems caused by their products, our world would be very different.

And yes, Patagonia is just a drop in the bucket in terms of overall clothing production, but that is not an argument against them taking action. I like the idea of every fossil fuel based company taking similar action, not just one company. I realize this is not realistic, but it is appealing to me, at least.
I wonder what would happen if you weren't so condescending. Your opening statement was "I used to think like you" as if you have evolved and are somehow morally superior. I see no evidence of this assumed superiority. You made a ton of assumptions in your post and it was mostly about your own white guilt since you are on "easy mode" as you put it. You sound like you have some unresolved issues and I encourage you to get help.
waves I consider myself a YIMBY, and I also consider myself pretty progressive on most issues and certainly not a libertarian...so you know at least one now.
> I can't imagine being the only person on a train in the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter and something goes wrong.

I can imagine it - do a shutdown, call it in, and put a coat and hat on.

There are lots of bad jobs that tech folks can't imagine. Go repair a rock crusher / screen / wheel loader by yourself after hours at a mine site, and hope Ms. MSHA doesn't show up and see you not tied off from above the equipment. All the warnings and signage don't apply to the mechanic fixing the equipment, but MSHA fines still apply.

Some people don't have a lot of career choices.
So, I actually thought the opposite: the growth in userbase that most big tech companies have seen over the 2010s probably meant the "death" of people creating queries á la AltaVista. But it turns out, I think I'm wrong, Google's own research says the average query is between 2-3 words in size, but apparently it has in fact been going up over the years.

Have you got experience with Docker? Becuase containerized airflow seemed fairly simple for me.
Fair, but I would like to point out that not all states share the national average prices and that at least where I live on the West Coast, gas prices were previously around $4/gallon and have crept back up to around $4.60/gallon over the last month. It appears that in certain areas that may be swing states come election that prices have remained lower.
No one is erasing lesbians or women.
Hershey (all profits go to boys boarding school) is a case in point - but the argument there is actually the exact opposite - that dead hand control is keeping the mission from shifting to be more inclusive.
ATMs, ATM cards, banks and fiat currency are all obsolescent technologies.
Depends on features and budget. AWS Cognito is very cheap, but not many features out of the box. Google Cloud Identity Platform seems to be same category as Cognito with some differences. Auth0 is a little more expensive, but has a lot of features. There are others like Ory, KeyCloak, etc.
Chapter 4 (pp. 44-) is a good place to start, particularly "UNCOVERING BIAS BY USING FICTITIOUS RESUMES" (p. 47).

Then OP should have specified. Taking things literal is pretty de rigueur.
I second making it a ritual.

Have a specific time when you stop for breaks. I think it was Graham Greene who would stop writing after he hit 500 words, even if he was in the middle of a sentence. Try setting times for those breaks – say, 10:00 am for a morning break, 1:00 pm for lunch, etc.

Just remember that it will take time to adapt to this and to form the habit of taking breaks. Do it a bit at a time and you'll get there.
Total page views have been pretty stable since 2016. Presumably the number and size of articles has increased, but I don't know by now much.

I have noticed this as well. My conclusion is that they value power more than they value money. Sustainable energy is necessarily not a one-size-fits-all solution, but adapted to the local needs & opportunities of each community. It's necessarily more complex and less well suited to economies of scale; it doesn't favor a handful of gigantic multinationals, and probably would look more like hundreds of large regional corporations.

I think they're probably waiting for some kind of silver bullet that lets us transition to a sustainable source of very similar chemicals, derived from biomass or directly from the air, without fundamentally changing society or changing how our power structures function, and that they think they're gunnuh do it in just the nick of time. Sort of a greater fool theory of climate brinksmanship, passing on each solution in the hope you'll find the perfect one before time runs out, but you're in a research lab where the clocks have no hands.

I fear that it may be worse, and that they may think they can actually just push through ecosystem collapse with technological solutions, and just never transition off of fossil fuels.
The pedo projectors as I call them tend to believe it is transgender and leftist that are running underground adrenochrome farms by raping and murdering children, but they can't go onto their local sex offender registry and see it is the preachers and their inbred neighbors getting caught soliciting to minors.
This is how you get me to start stubbornly claiming I don't have a smartphone.

If you have special requirements for the devices I use, it's your responsibility to provide separate devices from my personal ones.
> You left out the context, not only was Andrew walking right behind the coffin, the man was yards away and surrounded by mourners.

>Their moment for grief was severely impacted by the protestor.

>It's nowhere near as simple as you or other people in this thread are pretending it is. Even though I think Andrew should be stripped of his titles, it's right that guy was arrested.

Clearly that guy was being an asshole, but being a loud jerk shouldn't be a crime, IMHO.

If that's the prevailing attitude there, I'm glad I don't live in the UK.

Not because I think it's right to intrude on the mourning/grief/funerary rights of others (cf., Westboro Baptist Church[0]), much to the contrary, but because it shouldn't be illegal (as much as I despise such folks) to be an asshole.

> Natural language interfaces are [...] certainly not the next generation of computing.

I'm game to take the other side of that wager.

My instinct from the last 5 years of advances in ML language research is that we're right at the cusp of having radically better natural language interfaces.

I chose a half-decade horizon because "Attention Is All You Need", the paper that introduced the transformer model, was published in 2017. Two of its co-authors are co-founders of Adept.
The only way Twitter is usable to me is using the 'Better Twitter' browser extension, which filters out most of their recommendation stuff.
Quite impressive when they shot at 48MP, but the pictures taken at 12MP just look like your bad, few generations old, non-pro iPhone photo.

As a very amateur photograph that doesn't want to carry his DSLR all the time I considered getting it for the 48MP but after reading the review and seeing what would be most of the pictures I would take (the 12MP ones), it's a hard pass.
I look forward to seeing the progress made on this in the future, but at this time I don’t see any potential in this product.

My understanding is that you can't change the MDM settings/enrollment while in Lockdown, but you can enroll in it, and then enable Lockdown, and be fine.
> The market has driven wages so low that people can’t afford to have kids.

Yeah, but they can still afford to have sex, and especially with abortions being made illegal, they're gonna have kids, even if they can't afford it. My tin-foil opinion is that this is part of the plan to keep people from raising their standard of living and maintain a captive work force that has to take whatever shitty jobs/wages offered.

Seriously though, the potential is good. I see several things they're doing right that have the potential to distinguish them from competing offerings.
In the past 15+ years, I've never bought a piece of clothing, even the so-called "performance wear", that's not made from natural fibers - such as cotton, wool, linen. I am not sure about bamboo fibers - they are heavily processed and mostly in countries with less control. Looking into how much junk the dryer collects after drying plastic wear is enough for a person with a brain to stop buying those unhealthy and not eco-friendly clothes! All the microplastics goes into the environment - locally or deep in nature - and includes your lungs and digestive tract. Wearing plastic clothes at home is the worst - there are enough studies showing you inhale the plastic particles, and they start corrupting your health slowly but surely! The so called "fleece" to me is horrific comparable only to glitter! I can't believe that this is the type of material most kids love, and we make sure their lungs are full of it from an early age! Even scarier is the new trend of recycled plastics used for stuff that touches your skin or stays in your home! Who guarantees that the plastics are not containing micro toxins such as heavy metals, or compounds that could be released in time?! I am not hijacking the topic - brands such as Patagonia and Prana should be avoided, not glorified!
Is it the case that other encyclopedias handle controversial topics well? If school textbooks are an example, we taught all sorts of historical nonsense as facts that are now completely debunked.
Famous to who though and how famous? I recently clicked through to a profile of someone I had never heard of and they had 5m+ followers. This isn't a "look how out of touch I am with pop culture" humblebrag they were just from a different part of the world, famous in a language I don't speak.

And maybe not too similar but the mayor of my city only has a couple tens of thousands of followers but is definitely known by everyone who lives in it and yes has a blue check.

How famous is famous enough isn't a question with an obvious, or single answer.
Every web developer and designer should be forced to experience their site on a low-power Chromebook or rPi before they can launch it.

In an ideal world, web browsers would enforce some reasonable runtime memory cap (let's say 5MB for now) and CPU limit on websites, and users must give permission for the site to break the cap.

Or perhaps a search engine that establishes some reasonable resource caps and de-ranks websites that break the cap.
