In general I agree, but I think when you are being explicitly asked for a "source" in response to an allegation that it is settled that FB has been "caught recording people," I would prefer to not have anecdotes in reply.
Klarna joins the ranks of companies having to conduct more than one layoff
Well the reason I mention those two older formats is that those are the encoders you need to use a TON of older but still very useable hifi equipment. As far as I know if you want to get good quality sound to anything that uses TOSLINK (very common connector not just on older equipment) or the single orange digital audio cable (that looks like an orange RCA port) too. I specifically bought an older Roku 4K model that has the dolby digital plus encoder chip built in (and a TOSLINK output) so that I can keep using my still very nice sounding Yamaha receiver from the early 2000's. They only had the TOSLINK and DD chip for a brief period in the Roku 4K (current one does not have it and the oldest ones do not either). Basically what this means is that Netflix can have the latest and greatest audio on their stream (whatever is the best of the best in 5.1 currently) and this little chip will nicely re-encode it on the fly down to the best quality format my receiver can handle. If you do HDMI passthrough to Toslink or similar it will not work as theres no chip to re-encode.

Even a ton of modern motherboards have TOSLINK and lots of new equipment as well so its a worthwhile way to get a baseline quality 5.1 audio that still holds up very, very well for home systems today. DD+ with a good receiver and large speakers will blow away most of the cheaper Atmos systems.

You could also theoretically do this with most computers or a laptop with the right hardware and a little software digital encoder but the issue is that most of the time the way they have instituted DRM means that the browser is not going to even have access to 5.1 in the first place or your device (like any Nvidia graphics card for example - even if the HDMI output can include high quality audio) is going to just get 2.1 audio.

One absolute limit of computation is that it takes

(1/2) kT

of energy to delete one bit of information where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. Let T = 300° K (room temperature)

I multiplied that by 2¹²⁸, and got 1.41×10¹⁸ J of energy. 1 ton of TNT is 4.2×10¹² J, so that is a 335 kiloton explosion worth of energy just to boot.

That's not impossible, that much heat is extracted from a nuclear reactor in a few months. If you want to go faster you need a bigger system, but a bigger system will be slower because of light speed latency.

(You do better, however, at a lower temperature, say 1° K but heat extraction gets more difficult at lower temperatures and you spend energy on refrigeration unless you wait long enough for the Universe to grow colder.)
TFA seems to try to pin DEC's collapse & failure on their committment to back compatibility. Yet Microsoft has essentially done the same thing with Windows, and has not suffered the way DEC did. Seems like a weak argument.
Remember, when you charge your cell phone, you charge at ~15W (or less), so 80% efficiency is something like 3W of power loss. You can dissipate that pretty easily.

For a car charging, you're charging closer to 7-11kW. Dissipating 2.2kW (20% of 11kW) as heat is basically impossible. The inductive charging they're using for cars (which, are basically mostly prototypes at this point) are different and use much more closely coupled coils... so they can get better efficiency. Whether it works in practice, I don't know, but that's what companies are claiming who come out with these solutions.
“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.” - William Blake
The solution is to never reveal the metrics used and to rely on many metrics to evaluate.

Singular metric evaluation, like the growth model insanity, is how we end up with massive companies making no profit but somehow subsidizing their services to users.

Is it really incomprehensible that people like a BSD better than Linux?

Along the lines of "BSD is for people who love Unix, Linux is for people who hate Microsoft."
All of these compiler/transpiler related projects, especially for big mainstream language like TypeScript seems like a full time job, more so than any other open source initiatives. You need to keep up with the spec, constantly read the source codes, etc. Kudos to those who are providing their time to do this.
I've often thought this makes a lot of sense not just for medical devices/software, but for any government and financial software as well. But it's somewhat predicated on the 'provable correct' part, which is not well adopted.
It's amazing just how quickly you can catch the under estimation of the internet's potential. Within the first sentence, starting with the word "imagine", the largest image that could be conjured is related to viewing content created offline, rather than creating and sharing it within the internet itself. In the furthest stretches of the imagination, the prediction still falls very short. No criticism to anyone in 1994, it's just fascinating how difficult it is to peer far into the future.

I assumed the comment meant EVs were worse than ICE vehicles (not an opinion I hold)
If I remember correctly Fly weren't focused on Elixir at first, and instead were just trying to be a better Heroku, but then one of their developers realised Elixir would be a good fit for one of the components they were writing, and off the back of that realised "Heroku, but with a private network to allow comms between nodes" was a really good fit for Elixir applications.
An added "benefits" that aren't mentioned:

- SFUs can record / intercept the stream

- SFUs can censor or change the stream

That first one, I think, is actually a benefit for some applications. But I'm a bit curious why the article points out P2P is free and then use "cost" as a reason for SFUs.

Also, from experience, P2P is not that simple to setup when firewalls are involved. So that is one instance of the article where it actually oversells P2P (in an article clearly written to sell SFU).
Sounds like those crazy 650B people then have been right all along!

I would expect good working conditions to lead to better research though. Buckling down, being able to focus for years at a time on obscure problems without interruptions, all of that would come even easier if the researcher had a good financial backing for them and their family (unless you're suggesting researchers shouldn't get to have one of those?). Overworking someone works great until it doesn't.
My family member who runs a company in China avoids bribes by pretending to be a dumb American.
Our main campus has parking for roughly 450 cars. We just added EV charging; two entire parking slots. There's no way our company would outfit every spot with charging in any reasonable future. We already have roughly 35 EVs on the lot.

It is not about being privileged.

Just stop.

Private companies even if you are loaded won't simply sell you shares because you "want".

Read up on hostile takeovers.

Having shares in a company is not some fun and games. (Unless you are really frikin loaded that you don't care about money anyway)

Being senior officer like CTO has real consequences like really getting sued and going to jail.

Having shares in a company is not "being rich quick fix" because companies can go bankrupt and not every company is "going to the moon".
I doubt there less corruption in the CCP than in the US. Corruption is an easy justification to arrest or kill anyone in China.

Also, corruption is absurdly high in Venezuela since they moved away from individualism and toward collectivism.
> Removing all uses of undefined behaviour is probably a fool's errand, as it would require significant changes throughout the code that would take time and come with a performance impact, all for no immediate practical benefit. So I just hunted down the undefined behaviour cases that actually broke determinism. This was easy enough, as we have plenty of tools we use to test determinism. By comparing the game state CRC for every tick of every test (we have 2,417 tests) between x86 and ARM, I believe I got a pretty good coverage of potential issues.

Holy hell.
Do I also deserve “protection” when RedState has banned me twice for not carrying the party line? Do you think Truth Social would welcome my opinions with open arms?
While I do sympathize with some of the user complaints with UB, and the issues with things like signed integer overflow and strict aliasing seem entirely gratuitous, I think most users complaining about UB fail to comprehend that the issue with UB is that it's often really hard to constrain just what can possibly go wrong--and that's even without compiler optimizations kicking into play.

It should be pretty clear that memory unsafety produces all sorts of crazy havoc--a write to errant memory could overwrite stack return locations and then basically do whatever it wants given the power of ROP gadgets. At first glance, it looks like uninitialized memory is "merely" an issue of reading more or less random data, but there are cases (e.g., MADV_FREE) where it turns out that the value of uninitialized memory can change underneath you. Traps cause lots of program state to become rather indeterminate, simply because of what may or may not live in a register or in memory, but on some architectures (e.g., Alpha), code may keep running for a while after an instruction traps, to the point that you're no longer even in the same function. Sanely describing what happens in data races are beyond the ken of formal semanticists (see the still-unsettled discussions over the semantics of relaxed atomics); what hope do programmers have of reasoning about these memory semantics?

It also doesn't help that the distinction between undefined, unspecified, and implementation-defined behavior is poorly grasped by a large segment of the community.
> WhatsApp privacy policy

Facebook has a deep culture of pathological lying. They lied to the FTC [1]. They lied to WhatsApp and to the EU [2]. They created an Oversight Board and then lied to it [3].

Each of those lies are more substantial than lying in a privacy policy.

Yeah it hits differently after what he said. My first impression after reading the "Sent from my iPad" was it was some sort of tongue-in-cheek joke, but it's the default signature so it was added automatically! It's a good growth hack.

Sadly the reasons for introducing IR35 were completely valid. A lot of companies were exploiting the fact that they could avoid responsibility for paying national insurance and providing employee benefits by making everyone "self employed".

This had a dramatic impact on low paid workers - being self employed meant that they no longer received any benefits that would have come to a proper employee (e.g. sick pay, paid time off).

Unfortunately the legislation also impacted highly paid contractors and consultants.

Disguised employment is a big issue and a large number of people are being exploited. It's a shame that our governments have been unable or unwilling to legislate effectively.

> Anything to do with Israel/Palestine/West Bank is unreliable; the boss is a zionist, and so are a lot of the senior staff, so it's not surprising. But WP is a million times better than the web that search engines expose.

Is there good evidence for this claim? Evidence is useful, especially for these claims of general bias.

On the contrary, in general Wikipedia's content is likely biased against Israel when considering its general overall political preferences / bias.

I just think it is a funny juxtaposition when workers shout about the "Value or revenue they created" on one hand and then claim and then claim individual value creation doesn't matter on the other hand.

The whole question of where the value comes from and "who deserves it" is central to the argument, and there are a lot of positions with different axioms.
I hadn't heard that it is deserved simply for being a warm body in a chair independent of any productivity, so that's a new one.

The same could be said of shareholders:

Why are employees so focused on direct attribution? As a shareholder you are part of the machine, ect. If you aren't creating any value, its not your problem the machine is dysfunctional...
>A design may include other certified hardware or software designs as components or layers, but liability for failures in a design remains fully with that design’s engineer of record; it cannot legally be passed through to its components’ engineer of record.

How can this ever make sense? So if a bridge fails because the supplier of rebar messed up the heat treatment, the bridge designer is liable? What this means in practice is no systems larger than those that can be practically understood by a single person - possibly from atoms and first principles - and no systems that can't be audited by one person in time shorter than the project would become irrelevant.

The article (and paper) is saying that in solar-dominated generation regions, peak electrical production is during the day when the sun is out, and the trend seems like it's not stopping. I haven't actually read the full paper, but to quote the abstract:

> We study charging control and infrastructure build-out as critical factors shaping charging load and evaluate grid impact under rapid electric vehicle adoption with a detailed economic dispatch model of 2035 generation. We find that peak net electricity demand increases by up to 25% with forecast adoption and by 50% in a stress test with full electrification.

The paper is at https://www.nature.com/articles/s41560-022-01105-7, I only briefly skimmed through it but it seems plausible.

The assumption that a flat electrical load is desirable is less and less true as renewables go on the grid; of course, if we just took the (imo sensible) step to go all-nuclear, hydro, and geothermal for baseline load, then diurnal electrical consumption would not be desirable, but with the solar that might not be the case.

Yes, you can always avoid making mistakes, but you can't make others avoid the same mistakes. It just never scales.

I think the rings concept should be extended to have further down rings. It's kind of fun as a fantasy, but the pain point on this is that for a lot of things it genuinely doesn't matter if the computer side of things kind of sucks. I would be totally 100% in favor of all electronics sold on the mass market having a designated mark on them that says what level of assurance they were built with, but I don't think I mind people being allowed to sell things at ring three or four all the way down to the equivalent of what happens today. Obviously there are some cases where this isn't acceptable; medical, avionics, anything where humans can die obviously needs to be in ring zero, and I agree with other commenters in this thread that financial stuff should be at a fairly high assurance level as well.

If anyone's interested in a cheaper and less powerful version I've done tests on a DIY purifier that's based on a similar design: https://dynomight.net/better-DIY-air-purifier.html It costs around $100 to build and delivers around 104 CFM (2.95 m^3/min) on high and around 71 CFM (2.02 m^3/min) on medium (where it's pretty quiet). Interestingly, this is nearly an equal "deal" to your solution: it's around 1/5 the price and around 1/4 as powerful.

If people are put off of installing an air purifier because of they price, I think they should try not to make perfect the enemy of good: Due to the way half-lives work, you get the biggest benefit in terms of cleaner air from the "first" CFM of power that you install.

As someone pointed out, every single tech decision for a grocery store is different than every single tech decision for a SaaS.

But in any case, you should be negotiating equity. Full stop. Zero is too little. The correct amount is dependent on a bunch of factors I can't see.

In negotiating you may want to consider performance based bonuses or a longer vesting schedule as ways to soften it to be more palatable to them. Make sure to also understand the difference between ISO and RSO options and also strike price before you start negotiating.

Also, don't go into this particular negotiations unless you are prepared to leave (either voluntarily or by them pushing you out). It's not likely if you handle the negotiation well but something you need to be aware is a possibility.

The decision to negotiate, or stay with the status quo, or just leave is a deeply personally one so I can't offer any advice there.

Good luck.

Edit: Not how I would have put it but the peer comment in this thread has a valid point:

> It also won't make others who have shares in company to think twice to fire you if you stand up.
That’s technically required by the GDPR - any data controller must give you all the data they hold about you upon request and be able to review or explain any automated decision. This would include ad targeting data.

The problem is that the GDPR isn’t enforced enough even at a very basic level, let alone technicalities like this.
Why are you doing this job at all?

You said your salary isn't competitive and you have no equity. I can't imagine why you'd even want to be there. Usually underpaid C-level are there on the promise of a big return on equity, but you don't have that carrot. So, why is this even a question? Go make more money and/or find a company you can own a stake in.

(no disrespect meant. I just can't comprehend what would make you want to take this job in the first place or stay at this point)
