Surely it is a big red flag, but with military hardware yelling about its shortcomings publicly is tantamount to advertising that your deterrent is broken. You don't do that. Note that the original report was apparently not made public.

Google also has big impact focused culture, if employee doesn't produce business relevant impact, he is not rewarded (bonuses, promotion).
But your eyeballs are still better than cameras, or at least what we see is better than an image taken of the same thing. Maybe it makes sense that we have not hit the absolute limits. Although these cameras are smaller than you eyeballs. Might not make sense to compare digital cameras to eyeballs yet.

Governments could also easily freeze bank accounts, even if you've done nothing illegal.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin directly mitigate (if not outright prevent) that risk.

The Dairy Queen I stopped by today used a mag strip reader but it is becoming increasingly uncommon. The local grocery store had to revert to using it twice last year when there was something wrong with the chip approval process. This was on all registers so I don't think it was the readers themselves that were the issue unless perhaps they had received a bad update that was later corrected.

But it does seem like the more secure these systems are getting, the less robust they are. Perhaps that's just one of the tradeoffs we have to accept. The college football season started with a game between Nebraska and Illinois in Dublin, Ireland. The beer at the game was free because there was a technical issue with the payment provider. Being a "cashless stadium", they simply had no way of accepting payment.

Crypto finance is no different than regular finance. Same products, same mechanisms within those products, etc just without any regulation. And now people are starting to understand why regulations exist.
I think we need a new way to judge cameras... Getting experts to zoom in on tricky corners is no longer a good way to test.

There needs to be a new metric that reflects the whole user journey of using the camera - from figuring out how it works, to taking new photos when one came out bad. How many attempts to get a photo of a serial number label down behind the dishwasher..? Do pictures of the moon look terrible because the lens has fingerprints all over and the user doesn't realise? Can the camera run at the same time as google maps navigation and an audiobook without lag?

I've found that 'climate change' activism leads with wealth redistribution, social justice, and even socialism in a general sense. Biodiversity activism, on the other hand, tends to organize around reducing anthropogenic sources of CO2/CH4, establishing wildlife corridors, protecting watersheds, and so forth.

Both are valid and there's obviously a lot of welcome, positive alignment.

Page 9 in the PDF clearly shows that original strain had the least protection, while BA.1/BA.2 (Omicron) had the most protection vs BA.5, but it was still possible to be reinfected. Yes, this includes your demographic. (Population 12-and-older for this study).

-------

Delta was the first major strain that avoided immunity (IIRC: Gamma was also avoiding immunity to a greater degree than Delta, but Delta outcompeted Gamma). Omicron outcompeted Delta and also avoided immunity, and BA.5 is the mutant of Omicron that further avoids immunity.

Getting your body used to the original strain (aka: your original infection and/or the original vaccine), plus this updated BA.5 specific booster shot, seems to only make sense.

Especially because the vaccine is like, free? Your health insurance wants you to take it because it means less costs to them than if you got sick.

------

I should note that even if you don't get hospitalized or dead from the virus, there's still the chance of "long COVID", and other such complications if you get sick. So it still is to your personal benefit to get the vaccine IMO, especially since it targets the latest strain.

So your point about Apple, is in fact, not about Apple at all. Cool.
If that is (and had historically been) true, what is the article about then, or do you believe it's inaccurate? The whole thesis is that people are now being asked to be productive who were not previously held to productivity

Edit: or do you mean that previously there was room for slackers as long as they didn't care about promotion, and the difference now is their jobs are at risk?

I don't think that link is using the term the same way you are. It's more focused on making sure there's a wide recruiting funnel and having boring mandatory diversity trainings. Not taking race into consideration for hiring/firing decisions.
A company (Twilio) is executing a mass layoff, and is implying that it will protect certain racial minorities from this layoff. Doing this, they are necessarily discriminating against any employee who does not belong to these racial groups.

If you have employees A and B, both earning $100k/year, and your declining financials require you to save $100k/year, you must fire A or B. If you decide to fire A because s/he is white, even if it was just one factor, then you just fired a worker for their race, and violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

If you manage to implement a policy that benefits a protected class (such as a particular race or sex) without depriving a different protected class, it would not be illegal. This is not the case we are discussing here, of racial considerations affecting hiring or termination decisions.

Regarding the links you posted: It's no secret that the current administration is in favor of racist discrimination. They support Harvard's racist discrimination against Asians:

https://www.usnews.com/news/top-news/articles/2021-12-08/bid...

The law remains the law, and racist discrimination remains just as objectionable, even if the current administration supports it. I personally hope that any employee who was subject to racist discrimination will seek justice in court.

We live in a time distinct from anything that has come before, just like they did in the 1930s. Exactly like the 1930s, really. Totally different.
I don't think there's much to assume here.

Governments around the world have rules about companies, salaries, taxes and so on.

There exist a large number of billionaires.

Therefore, assuming most of them follow the rules, the rules allow such a concentration of individual wealth.

I'm not against innovators getting relatively rich, that's often the incentive to innovate, or at least to push through the 'perspiration' part of that activity, but there should be balance.
I like how the RLM guys subvert the parasocial dynamic with their viewers by telling us that we aren't part of their group and never will be. They never ask for comments or for interaction with fans, and I remember Mike specifically saying once to the camera 'we don't want to hang out with you -- ever' or something similar. It is refreshing and a reminder that we do not know these people.

What the sibling commenter said, plus even Google with their army of lawyers is all "nope" (https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl...), and every small company I've worked for (who don't have an army of lawyers) also forbids it

So, it means that I don't get to use awesome looking toys at work because no one is going to pay the lawyer fees to find out what, exactly, we can and can't have those network requests touch

I have been trying to be much more careful in commentary about this because I'm not trying to change the author's license, it's their code, and I'm not trying to get into debates about "well, it only matters if ..." because IANAL and I don't want to assume the risk, because for this situation, being wrong would be very expensive, so I just stick to Apache or MIT tools

You've found a need and you are addressing it. You've been thinking about this problem far longer than the drive by dissenters. You've run simulations and built the solution. Of course listen to the feedback, but don't let impact your trajectory unduly.

Cerebras Proposes AI Megacluster with Billions of AI Compute Cores
Chipmaker Cerebras is patching its chips – already considered the world’s largest – to create what could be the largest-ever computing cluster for AI computing.

A reasonably sized “wafer-scale cluster,” as Cerebras calls it, can network together 16 CS-2s into a cluster to create a computing system with 13.6 million cores for natural language processing. But wait, the cluster can be even larger.

“We can connect up to 192 CS-2s into a cluster,” Andrew Feldman, CEO of Cerebras, told HPCwire.
Well, a tiny bit because then I'd know the author had absolutely no interest in being a participant in the open source community and just wanted free labor. The AGPL license decision I believe is made in good faith, sharing the code as well as the rights to the community. The AGPL choice just means (from my perspective) that the code was _almost_ open enough that I could use it or maybe even contribute fixes for edge cases I run into, versus those "source available" where I can just immediately close the window -- or, I guess, pedantically, it means I can check back on the project in 5 years or whatever the "license change cliff" is nowadays
That title reads like The Onion...

The title of the book has been repeatedly debunked, applies mainly to professionals who are far from the average American, conflates federal crimes with felonies, and is off by one to two orders of magnitude for the cases that are likely to adhere to the average professional.

I'm still a fan of reducing the complexity of the legal code and enormously circumscribing plea bargaining false-confession-ammunition, so it's not like I'm not aligned with the overall libertarian impulse here, but I disagree that this is a good book.

Finding a lawyer when you have no idea what it is you even want to do. Nobody in my family has ever had to use our own lawyer. When we did our immigration stuff it was done by my dad’s employer.

I tried to find some lawyers to ask questions about starting a company and understanding some of the legal implications. Literally nobody replied to me when I left a voicemail for consultation request. It left me with a really poor experience and I ended up YOLO’ing with Clerky.

Wouldn’t mind if anyone has some advice here. Everyone I talk to this about either comes from a family that’s loaded and everyone’s got their lawyer on their cell phone like it’s their buddy, or has lawyers in their family.
I wish I was more diligent in noting back then, but essentially I went on a long walk on google, encyclopedia astronautica, checking russian pages with google translate etc. trying to read as much about the project - at the time it was still running we had more information published in Poland about Shuttle (including accurate drawings and system descriptions) than about Buran, and thus I was always left fascinated about this space plane that, compared to STS, I had only a blurry photo and maybe A4 page of description.
Because space is at a premium and a nice large camera is a hard tradeoff against just some extra processing algorithms.

Not OP, but was glad they piped up :)

My vague concern is that overly emphasizing "climate change" means all these brains are thinking on just one small bit of surface of this larger project. We talk a ton about carbon because it's the tangible thing that brownian motions equally through the atmosphere and we can undeniably quantify, but the whole ship leaks across a number of dimensions. We need eyes and minds on all the little edges of the larger wicked problem: both convincing and creating fellow humans that we can be happy and healthy without unconstrained growth. There's a lot of baggage to work through.

The sheer eighth grade math of it is that we can't be anything but cancer or conquerors (at whatever scale) unless we get that under control on this finite planet <3
That’s how MP are always defined, as far as I know.

If you buy a DSLR/Mirrorless camera with a 24MP sensor, there aren’t 24 million R,G,B pixels, but closer to 6 million Red, 12 million Green, and 6 million Blue.

So if that’s how the iPhone is doing their 48MP sensor, then that’s just standard

Interesting to see how the good ol’ “think of the children” defense has morphed into “think of the women and minorities”.
Good point. I really like how the quote in article itself frames it: "this notion that every billionaire is a policy failure".

I think wealth shouldn't have gotten concentrated to this degree in the first place. It's a structural failure that individuals can end up with control over that much money. If the economy was a software simulation, we'd call it buggy because it's clearly gotten some unbalanced positive feedback loops that lead to an unstable simulation.

But the system does have those bugs, and the wealth is concentrated today. So, relative to the other options (which is what every choice in life is), I think putting it in a trust is probably better for society than keeping it in the hands of the family.
spoken like a true temporarily-embarrassed billionaire.

As others have commented on, the real issue is that, in order for someone to accrue that amount of money in the first place, there has to be such a systemic societal inequality in regards to access to resources that economic mobility is effectively a dream for a significant swath of the population.

People here talk about billionaires simply being rewarded for their effort/risk - a proposition that is simply laughable (so, unless you are promised riches beyond your wildest dreams, you won't invest in the economy and community? Seems to signify sociopathy more than anything).

And, yes, that is the implication: in order to have the propensity to accumulate that much money, far more than any one human would ever need to survive comfortably, you have to exhibit a significant amount of sociopathy and antipathy towards your fellow man; a willingness to usurp resources far beyond any natural need; if only because of some arbitrary internal itch.

Chouinard may be the exception that proves the rule -- a billionaire despite his intentions and efforts -- if only because the market happened to align with his convictions, rather than any intention to capitalize on any product for financial gain in and of itself. Even a broken market is right twice a day.
Google is an incredibly complicated situation. Yes, it's impact-driven. But many other variables affect how your impact is perceived. For amusing reasons, over the past decade, the number of people who can and want to work on the core parts of google3- the load balancer/front end/web server/search/ads- has been dropping. No CS grad wants to work on a 15 year old web server that is mostly patches to deal with odd cases and a million tests that fail if you look at a load bearing comment oddly. The dwindling pool of experts has seized the memes of production (ha) and has the ability to work less because they are absolutely needed.

The best anecdote I ever heard from an SRE was "the VP was chagrined when I told them it didn't matter I was in a nerf war, because nothing was broken or needed to be fixed, but they still saw my point and let me continue" (I used to work in an SRE area that overlapped with an SVP's preferred meeting room so Susan Wojcicki was always getting pinged by a rogue nerf bullet).

As for slackers? Sure, when I joined around 2008 there were definitely folks who were slacking off. in fact they got rid of sabbatical because so many people were taking it then coming back and quitting.
