Yes, you can scale the offense up to the point where most would answer yes to allowing this.

It’s interesting that in the past I wouldn’t have been extremely worried about it. But times have changed. Asking for consent is now considered old-fashioned. Law enforcement has been taking every technological shortcut offered as soon as it is in budget.

It’s a dangerous time we’re heading into. Well, already arrived in. Big brother panopticon is a reality. In this environment I see the precedent in a new light. Reminds me of the movie Gattaca, which is not a feel-good film.
What is your alternative? Is there a party that offers an improved situation?
It’s pretty obvious the reason gas prices went down was because of the enormous drawdown of the strategic petroleum reserve. Post-election that will stop and it will go back up.
Unfortunately there is no support for COLRv1 fonts on Safari (desktop or mobile).[0] There is support for COLRv0, so hopefully this will come to Safari/Webkit at some point.[1]

It looked to me like providing a cleaner interface which still effectively supports everything vfork does, with all the performance gains (and fewer context switches) was in fact the point of the exercise.
This site has been helpful for tracking all the layoffs this year: https://layoffs.fyi/
>We're able to maintain fast rendering while charging ~50% less than most render farms by crowdsourcing. We leverage underutilized graphics cards from hardware owners across the globe to keep rentaflop fast and affordable.

Seti@home meets Blender.

I wonder if that would work for machine learning...
> They do, which is why [primary] school desegregation was (and remains) an important policy goal for various progressive and racial justice movements during the previous century.

Sure, but that doesn't really solve the problem. Given that the funding of primary schools is predominantly driven by property taxes, one could argue that this is actually been made worse (assuming lower prop taxes => less weathly parents => structurally disadvantaged races).
yeah, America is about twenty years behind you guys in banking tech. But that is for a reason.
There's been a fair amount of churn in the ecosystem, even if the language itself has been very stable. Leiningen was ubiquitous 5-6 years ago, but if you
switched to using deps for dependency management you lost the ability to run tests or build uberjars and had to manually re-create these on a per-project
basis. Now there's tools.build, but that also requires you to manually write essentially the same tasks for basic functionality in each project. Leiningen
and tools.deps also seem to resolve depedencies differently, so you can run into issues simply by migrating from one to the other.
Written in PHP! That's a cool language, not these Rusts, Gos, Carbons...

I would argue the US dollar is in part worth what it is now because alternative systems exist to bypass the spirit of KYC/AML. It may be a 'careful what you wish for' scenario if America somehow manages to snuff out unregulated use of the dollar -- the market just may find something else.

Does anyone else seriously think it's a complete coincidence the rise of crypto coincided with the rising international cooperation with FATF and other AML/KYC oriented agreements worldwide post 9/11? The ~2010-2020 era was some of the biggest movement in nations coming into compliance with FATF's assessments, I don't think it's an accident crypto exploded during that period.
For sure. Thank goodness the labor market has indicators pointing different directions (extremely low unemployment rate, more jobs than job seekers; but also more layoff headlines than usual). That way people can attack him for both the terrible lack of workers and the terrible lack of jobs.
Do you use the spyware tools they want you to use ‘for your and their protection’? As a senior engineer and not in kindergarten, I cannot imagine anyone with over a year or so experience doing that.

What sort of pricing for something like this?
NetBeans always struck me as the kind of IDE you would use to get things done in Java, as opposed to Eclipse which seemed to function as a portal into the vast and confusing world of Eclipse plugins.

But IntelliJ rules the (Java) world now, so they're both obsolete and redundant.
Ok, but it hasn't been so long since presidents in El Salvador were siphoning public funds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_El_Salvador#Corrupt...
You're conflating comparing yourself to a competitor with a run of the mill simile to a similar architecture.

Nope, midwest.
This sounds a lot like Tidelift, without their enterprise supply chain features?
True but then what does taking responsibility means? Seems like just empty words.

I rather they just not mention anything about who is responsible for over-hiring/bad decisions than trying to act noble without any real consequences.
You should have ignored the letter and called a lawyer. Depending on your location, you may have been allowed to keep the money. I had something similar happen before (a much smaller amount, 3 weeks extra pay) and I was able to keep the money. They did send a threatening letter, but I paid a lawyer a few bucks to tell them to go pound sand.
Good point. Tapping into our strategic oil reserves is helping a little bit. Of course that, in a way, is a long-term price hike (when/if we ever replenish them). It's like taking out a loan.
Seriously, though: having globally accessible, indelible and irrefutable shared ledgers containing balances which cannot be forged, whose operation cannot be stopped by any malicious, busy-body bureaucrat? This is a God-send. It is already the gold-standard for international payments for me, a small computer consultant.

Think of all the poor slobs in Russia who've been steam-rolled by these sanctions, and can no longer sell their software or get paid for their little Apps. Whatever you might think about Russia -- "group punishment" is not cool; these are people like you and me who cannot now feed their families. To them, Bitcoin (and other even more capable cryptocurrencies now in development) is the difference between life and death.

So, it might be worthwhile to ... reflect, if we find ourself agreeing with the obese head banker at BIS or weird Klaus Schwab, when they say they want to control all aspects of personal commerce. They can pound sand -- I'm going to continue to work to move cryptocurrency technology forward.
I don't get why they had to make that public statement in the first place. They could have kept that to themselves and complete the layoff just fine without the inflammatory statements, while still practicing whatever fashionable principles they choose. Is this a way to signal piety to the tech community in the hopes that more people aligned with those politics will apply there in the future?
Sometimes - especially after the IR35 misery - an agent might also come with an umbrella company that will readily employ you for the duration of your contract for a cut. People usually tended to avoid these solutions due to tax inefficiencies. Not everyone though, I knew some people who chose comfort and didn't want to deal with the admin of an LTD and constant invoicing (however small inconvenience that might be), so they just went with the umbrella. I presume this is now a much more popular solution...
An umbrella can also be provided by your accountant.
Yeah. I got a Smart TV recently and with the YouTube app started seeing ads again. I think I have to just stream from my laptop instead of using the apps :(. Probably better that way though, typing with the remote is terrible!
send a patch then, or alternatively listen to the poor open source projects sob story.
Yes. I would rather not sugarcoat reality.
Is your gas stove bad for your health?
I believe this is driven with good intentions. Some people call this "reverse racism", and "it's not really a thing since white people are privileged".

I don't agree with this view and I think "reverse racism" is just as racist as normal racism. I strongly believe that future generations will laugh at us for coming up with such an obviously wrong way of attacking this issue.
I think that orgasms add to the experience, you cum to something and next time you probably will want to view content similar to that.
People are treated unequally because of their race everyday. My wife’s former boss (CEO of an education non-profit) was a black man. He was walking in downtown Paulo Alto, wearing a suit, on a way to a business meeting.

A cop stopped him at gunpoint and had him lie face-down on the ground and frisked him. Eventually, finding nothing, he let him go. “Mistaken identity.”

This is the kind of shit black people have to live with. None of my white bosses have ever had interaction with law enforcement - other than the time a cop helped one find his keys to his BMW after he’d accidentally tossed them in the bushes.

Our country is getting better. Most people don’t want to be racist. But this stuff still happens in the modern era. Acknowledging the problem and taking reasonable steps to try and improve it is not racist.

Now, as the GP pointed out, this particular incidence probably did more harm than good/looks like a PR stunt.
If we think like this why wouldn't I invest 1% of my portfolio in lottery tickets? At worst lose 1%, at best x1,000,000 upside?
Serious question: Are you aware of the historical context of the United States as it concerns race?

Without looking anything up tell me what you know about it.
still doesn't sound like you have ever read the proof, nor about it. so aren't you engaged in this discussion strictly by speculation? logical fallacy? just because you have some point to make has no bearing on the work you are adjacent to and not actually discussing. making your own points and arguments about logical gotchas is great, has nothing to do with critically understanding a work you haven't read. asking for giving the 'benefit of the doubt' to speculation informed only by a comment section is ridiculous. do your homework before asking for generous responses to your internet quibbling
don't tell anyone I said that please.
I don't think that's a true statement.
It is, ultimately, a management problem. You cannot solve a management failing by adding technical people.
I was interested, but having to run an entire OS off thumb drive is a deal breaker for me. I'm naive in this area, but would it be that hard to implement it under WSL2?
I've been working in software consulting for over 10 years. I've worked for 5 different agencies, some small, and some household names. Every single one of these companies has hired out to independent consultants (or smaller agencies) willing to take on part time, hourly work. You have to remember most firms that are billing are constantly juggling the chicken and egg of having too much billable work in the pipeline or not enough.

My advice - figure out your core niche (i.e. GCP, Go, Rust) and reach out to 2-3 firms and propose your services and availability. Look in your LinkedIn network for any 1st or 2nd connections working at consulting firms.
I agree that this was poor messaging. If they had instead worded it in a "we are making active efforts to make sure we are not disproportionately hitting any demographic", that would have been better. Would ultimately be the same message, of course, but the idea is to find ways to battle default behaviors/prejudices, not just to be "anti-racist."
"The workers are easily replaced" and "Their compensation is fair" are two different statements.
It's interesting that even though the bypass ratio changed from 1.4 to 4.2 (so it's quite a different engine, lot quieter for sure) the fuel consumption only went down 15% (22g/kN.s to 18.6g/kN.s)
No surprise here. All you have to do is look at their financial reports to know that massive cuts are going to be made in order to survive.

You can't be burning insane amounts of cash while cash is becoming more tight. So the easiest thing to do is cut your workforce.

If you want to improve your chances of not being cut, work for a company that actually makes money.
I feel like the "leaving them a profitable business" is quite hopeful.

Chances are that the business will go under by the time you want to get out of it.
Then giving the burden to your kids down the line seems even more risky.

They will probably not want to follow your path and maybe having this weight on their shoulder will change their life decisions in an unfavored manner.

Just my two cents, I think working for yourself is fine, but it still seems like a time-constrained endeavor.
Scam's not the right word but you start to run out of accurate words when you can't get your point across after having entire days ruined arguing with a screaming kid about a R$10,000 Golden Dominus that would cost $100 USD to obtain.
After a few months if the funds aren't claimed we will reallocate them to a subscriber's other direct dependencies. For the time being, if you accepting funds via GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, etc. we will do our best to get money to you.
So, a company explicitly states that when push comes to shove, if you are white, you move to the front of the firing queue.

Remind me again, why would a white person (especially man) not put them on the back of the queue when deciding where to apply for a job?

Despite not living in the states (and in a country where this sh*t is illegal), I think I will make it my policy to never work for a (parent) company that has a diversity policy from now on.

One shouldn't go to YouTube to fill time, but to find something.
"Late Risers Club" on WMBR (MIT radio) is pretty good. They're daily 10-12 EST, but archive the shows for 2 weeks. Its less pure "punk" than it was but (Some DJs have more rock like tendencies...), but its still great.

https://wmbr.org/cgi-bin/show?id=6785

they post there set lists to "Track-blaster". They have a "listen" button if its within the 2 week archive period.

Around 10 years ago, when I was getting started with Android development, there was a plugin for that. I did try it first, but ended up going the official way with Eclipse.
It isn’t. The law is race neutral on this; and hiring/firing discrimination on the basis of race, against any race, is a good way to open yourself up to lawsuits. It’s up to HR departments and ultimately their bosses if they want to play with fire or not.
This is really cool. Adding, editing, and navigating nodes is pretty intuitive (reminds me of working in a spreadsheet). I kind of wish that it would auto-center as you're editing, and it might be nice to be able to hit Escape to cancel out of creating a new node. The ability to export as HTML is simple and gives a nice result. I'm going to incorporate this into some of my workflows
> the original poster said "electric", not "induction".

Induction stoves are electric. I meant to refer to both induction and conventional electric stoves.
Coincidentally, back then everyone in an important role was white, so one didn't even really have to think about race!
That's still racist!! The only way for it not being racist is not having anything to do with race at all!
Curious how you feel about the term LatinX that all tech companies are embracing? Reason I ask is I have a few really good friends who are Hispanic(Nicaraguan, Dominican, Mexican) and they all despise that term. I don't know why its used and it seems strange as its been forced on us the past few years with no consulting or buy-in from any of the Hispanic employees at these companies. Even outside polls found that a huge majority (96%) of Hispanic people dislike this term but its still being used.

Does Google have an internal form for employees with the option: "person on internet accidently received money from us"?

Do those 1,000 people even care, or hope the person gets to keep it, or maybe it's the Bystander Effect?
I think you're (not you specifically but 'people') are reading too much into a message about a business decision. Businesses are soulless machines whose only purpose is to survive and be profitable, You don't see people get as upset when a business pivots and changes purpose/direction, yet it's the same thing.
The sentence that makes it completely clear that the article isn't about what is often called "countersteering" in automobiles?

Sweden and Covid: BOTH sides were wrong
Oh interesting, thanks for this!

It is no wonder that they couldn't come up with a better name [0]. For anyone else wondering, we came up with that name because it was the name of the conference room that we met in at the Sun campus to discuss creating Apache Jakarta, because Sun was upset we were originally using Apache Java. As a 'gift' of appreciation for making a halfway decent servlet engine at the time (Apache JServ), they also gave us Apache Ant and... Tomcat. The rest is history...

I've also been long out of the Java ecosystem, so that xkcd is especially relevant. Let's go shopping!

The ideal person to sue would be a "marginalized" person who was laid off, since the "anti racist" bs could impact this person twice: it means they got laid off even when the bar was higher for people of color, which will disproportionately affect them in their next job search (and feelings, etc).
People are nervous. It isn't clear to me that there is much in the short-term that can be done about it. The invasion of Ukraine and bad weather (likely a result of climate change), as well as various consequences of the pandemic, are making life hard.
You are definitely overstating it. The bank is required to keep records and file paperwork (i.e., inform the IRS) on deposits of over $10,000, but other than that, nothing happens. I regularly receive large deposits from my place of employment that exceed $10,000. I file taxes just like every other person each year. Shoot, I've received refunds from the IRS that exceed that amount.
Yes, since the tech hasn't changed much
Agreed.

There is an obvious downside to how cheap it is nowadays to "publish" something, whether on social media, in a blog or in something resembling a book, we are now surrounded by low-quality content and it can be hard to tell the good from the bad.

Another benefit of books and magazines is that you have an instant idea of how relevant the information is, "Electronics Weekly 1970", possibly not the latest best advice on using microcontrollers!
The big question is the pricing and whether it really does make sense to pay for your service instead of purchasing hardware.

Your pricing is $0.0019 per Octane hour. IIUC, that means that an hour of time on an RTX3070 - scoring 400 - costs $0.76. Cost of an RTX3070 right now is about $550 on Amazon and with a TDP of 220W and an average price (in the US) of $0.15/kWh, the total cost will be $550 + <hours> * $0.15 * 0.22.

Given that, the break even is 757h, which is unexpectedly high.

Do you think your pricing is sustainable?

EDIT: To be clear, I'm aware of the model of using "spare" GPUs, my calculations were just for a point of comparison. What I'm asking is whether, with such low pricing, the company will have enough income to be long-term profitable.
I live in LA. Aside from certain areas of hospitals I can go anywhere without a mask on, even small, close quarter museums. Restrictions on what I can do? Please, the right is putting way more restrictions on what my wife and I can do than the left. I can’t think of anything more anti democratic than restricting the right to vote (especially when the same party works to make it easier to vote for the right “kind” of voter).
