there are 2 possible outcomes:

1. protests stop, for now, people get tired to fight; but the government will make note of this, for better or for worse

2. with the "help" of US, some kind of revolution which will topple the government etc. which ultimately will make things worse for the people of Iran but will be a win for the US
"The answer is this: They dont want to add RCS support or spend the time to do it."

... confirmed by Signal in their discussion thread:

"... and Signal can’t add RCS support because there’s no RCS API on Android. Honestly, the days of any third-party SMS app are numbered."

I guess I misunderstood RCS. I thought the whole point of RCS was to be used on Android and to allow disparate third parties to use it as an open standard.

Where is the RCS API if not on Android ? Who is supposed to use RCS ?
Does anyone actually have all those? I certainly don't. I have Signal, Element, Telegram and I even think that's excessive. I can at least manage it, most RL contacts I know would not.
You’ve taken on the world’s problems by mistake.

- Covid has a nearly 100% survival rate. Have you or someone close to you been mortally affected? Most people I know have not been affected at all.

- The war in Ukraine is happening in Ukraine. Are you near Ukraine?

- Employment rates are very high and the job market is still hot. Are you actually affected by the macroeconomic factors?

Focus on your kid. Focus on yourself. Don’t worry about the world.
I'm sure that will get reduced by the judge based on whatever state law, but it's a huge signal to Jones that he's an absolute monster.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, Rosenfeld is far from the only researcher observing this phenomenon.

Here's Vox on Travis Campbell's research:

> Campbell’s research also indicates that these protests correlate with a 10 percent increase in murders in the areas that saw BLM protests. That means from 2014 to 2019, there were somewhere between 1,000 and 6,000 more homicides than would have been expected if places with protests were on the same trend as places that did not have protests.

Source: https://www.vox.com/22360290/black-lives-matter-protest-crim...

Here's Harvard's Roland Fryer and Tanaya Devi

> We estimate that these [police shooting protests] caused almost 900 excess homicides and almost 34,000 excess felonies. The leading hypothesis for why these [police shooting protests] increase homicides and total crime is an abrupt change in the quantity of policing activity. In Chicago, the number of police-civilian interactions decreased by almost 90% in the month after the investigation was announced. In Riverside CA, interactions decreased 54%. In St. Louis, self-initiated police activities declined by 46%.

Note that these are both nationwide studies. I'm not sure what you mean by "cherrypicking years that seem significant to me", but yeah, looking at policing and crime before and after BLM protests seems pretty germane to understanding the effect those protests have on policing and crime.

> you're taking a data source that is already known and acknowledged to be flawed by the publisher

I think it's more likely that crime researchers better understand the limits of crime data sources than you do, and they probably aren't as lazy as you propose. But by all means, publish your rebuttal (and please link it here so I can read it)!

Those both sound like situations where the majority has chosen something. Bias towards "yes" sure, but people also have a pretty strong bias towards NO CHANGE - unless things are bad.

I believe the general dislike of secret ballots among pro-union people has to do with the voting process being controlled by the companies. The accusation being that when the company controls the process, they are interfering in the result. Given the choice between coworker interference or employer interference... I'll pick coworker any day, they've got a lot less on me than my employer. If the vote could be truly independent and secret, sure... but burden of proof is high
LOL. You’re so upset at being schooled on your own history that all you have is a whataboutism. I hope you recognize that your response/reaction is pathetic and, importantly, absolutely tangential to the issue at hand. Ligma, l’il buddy.
What's even worse is that for you (and I) removal of SMS support will mean that out message history will suddenly be inconsistent as existing SMS messages will be removed.
A pure democracy is if you lose you can be voted dead. In a constitutional democracy it may not be so direct: i.e. if the majority elect officials that favor say large automotive companies that are permitted to introduce externalities to the water supply that make you dead (see flint water crisis) -- or say your county elects a sheriff who is known to shoot people in 'bad shoots' and then the democratically elected officials prevent effective prosecution of these murders.
The nukes may or may not fall, but the optimal course for most people is the same. If the nukes are coming, turn off the news, enjoy the life you have left. If the nukes are not coming, turn off the news, enjoy the life you have left.

In my case the bees (Africanized bees) were really aggressive. Some kids were throwing rocks in their beehive a few seconds before my sister and I passed by (that was in an almost deserted public street).

The bees were really angry and we got stung multiple times. Luckily we’re not allergic and were able to run away. They stopped attacking after we were out of range (my guess), about 70 meters away.

> you said in a reply further down that you were an executive level manager, you should have told HR to shove it because your individual performance would be impacted by the collective output of your employees, and the costs of improving working conditions would be returned in several multiples, some of which you might receive as a bonus.

This assumes the EMgr is compensated/recognized more on performance of collective output than on politics and relationships. I dont know specifically about Apple, but plenty of orgs are imperfect enough that relationships are actually more highly rewarded/recognized than optimal collective outcomes (which are disparate and difficult to take credit for.)

This is part of the reason why "glue" workers[1] are usually overlooked and kept back. They neither please anyone, nor have a specific item to take credit for, usually simply boosting the outcomes of others who take all the credit for their work, plus some for that of the glue worker.

Yes. For me it's not so much distractions as how everything has become difficult. In the old days I had a PC and a Compiler. I would use an editor to write programs and compile them with the compiler. We shared source code and binaries via floppy disks. Then we got a LAN and we started using PVCS (an ancient version control system I can't really recommend) and life got slightly more complicated, but the benefits were well worth the increase in complexity. Fast forward to the 90s where we had better compilers, better version control and distributed software mostly over the intarwebs. We ran our software in our own data centers. There was a lot more complexity, but it was manageable. Everyone used programming languages that maintained reverse compatibility and operating systems whose interface between the kernel and the app code didn't change very often. Then we got Python. Programs I wrote in 2005 wouldn't run in 2007. So I had to update the code. Then in 2009 it stopped working again. And then in 2013 it stopped working again. Totally fine, management just added a couple weeks per year for language maintenance. Then we moved everything to AWS. It's fine, it wasn't too hard to figure it out. But then people started complaining about CloudFormation. Half our teams started using TerraForm. Then we made TerraForm our corporate standard, which meant corporate wouldn't pay for the CloudFormation training class. But only half of our projects had migrated to TerraForm, so every team had to teach incoming engineers "just enough" CloudFormation to get them moving forward. And then we decided JIRA was a useful tool. And then we decided Confluence was a useful tool. (The problem with Wikis isn't that it's hard to find information, it's that there's no way to figure out if the information you're looking at is current.) And then half of our projects started using Pulumi. Totally fine, but to understand my app stack, I now have to grok CF, TF & Pulumi. And it still doesn't do what we need it to do, so we wrote some scripts that call into the Cloud Development Kit. And then someone decided we should have a central DevOps group deploy new code, but the pipeline from release candidate in QA to production release takes 3 months. That's fine, I'll use that 3 months to rewrite / test third party packages that were EoL'd with their Python 3.6 release. And of course they don't run under 3.8 because it's Python. And my boss wants me to make accurate estimates for how long things will take.
Just goes to show that counting comparisons doesn't tell you all you need to know about a sort.

There are of course faster sorts than std::sort, such a pdqsort, if you are really pinched. Usually you are not.

> You can sit more in the middle with people getting 1000hp daily drivers. With dynamic tuning, flex fuel, etc you can get the best of both worlds. As well, DCT AWD transmissions make grip/shifting issues a thing of the past.

A 1000HP drag car with AWD and a DCT shouldn't "get eaten by" a $100K Tesla (unless you actually meant the $130K Tesla Model S Plaid). Not unless someone is lying about their power numbers or doesn't know how to set up a car.

The Tesla's drag mode is a neat party trick and perfect for singular drag races, but spending 15 minutes preconditioning your battery before you can launch is also kind of ridiculous by ICE car standards.
Remarkably, I think this is all economic damages --- they haven't reached the punitive damages phase. Furthermore, Connecticut doesn't have caps on compensatory damage for emotional distress.

So this isn't quite like the Texas situation, where Jones attorneys successfully convinced the jury to award relatively small compensatory damages and large punitive damages --- those Texas punitive damages will get knocked way back, because there are local and federal caps on the ratio of punitive to compensatory damages.

Me and most of coworkers in my org of 50 people fully voluntary come to the office, as being together in person increases our productivity, that was down during COVID.

Meanwhile you claim that because it works for you, it becomes a dogma that people shouldn't work together in person?

Sorry, it hard to take your arguments seriously.
In all seriousness, you need to put a block on national and international news. Cut it out 100% for at least a month. You are consuming poison and it is killing your mental health. Just stop. You can’t affect it and your attention does nothing positive.

These news companies have gone into overdrive over the past few years and their business models have mutated around the user engagement they got from Trump and Covid. They must now keep that tempo or their ad revenue will crash. You do not need to participate in this dumpster fire.

After you have cut out the news, you’ll be in a much better position to evaluate your overall mental health and if you need to work on it further.
The auto stop reminder is really annoying on hikes. It always asks me if I’m finished on the steepest sections when I’m working hardest but moving slowest. Come on Apple - if my heart rate is 150 BPM, I’m probably still moving!
You can't fight something you aren't allowed to see. Better to have your evil out in the open you so you know what it is, and where it's spreading.

Blinding yourself to the things that harm us doesn't make them go away, it only leaves you more vulnerable.
Overall this is good advice but don't leave your friends! Continuity of friendships for multiple decades can be really really good for both of you.
Punitive damages were a large fraction of the award.
That wasn't mythbusters.

This is great for the victims. It’s fascinating how damages work. People falsely imprisoned for decades get orders of magnitude less money from the government.

Law really is fascinating, but hopefully the victims can have sole closure now that this charade (on Jones part) is over.
I think that is grossly excessive.

Game of Thrones style?
Germany has strong works councils because it has very strong companies that, essentially, are given a licence to print money by the state. Ireland is an example of a country with a totally different political economy (more similar to the UK) with high levels of competition/innovation.

Either way, the point is that if you have high levels of protection that should mean that it is easier to fire someone...because they have something to fall back on. That is why the UK and the US have universal welfare states. Germany does not have a universal welfare state, and the only way that is possible is by having high employment security/strong labour laws and huge companies that are profitable due to low competition. This, obviously, comes with downsides (this is why Germany has struggled with high unemployment in the past, and has things like Kurzabeit to subsidise companies even further against firing staff).

An exception to this is Denmark which has almost total union participation and very weak labour laws, they achieve this through a much more expensive system of social insurance. They have, for Europe, relatively high levels of innovation so this all offsets (you get high security and relatively high levels of innovation).
Well, I'm feeling the same, but I have an excuse. My father died, and I am his executor, and I got slammed with months of extra work, which I'm trying to do while still doing my regular job 40 hours a week. It's burning me out.

But about having a kid: Yes, it's a ton of work. Yes, it's mentally draining. Yes, it cuts into your "me" time. (My estimate was that it cut four times as hard as being married did.)

But you didn't just lose. You also won. One of my biggest failures (and regrets) was looking too much at what I was losing and not noticing what I was gaining. It was unpleasant for me, and not fair to my kids and my wife.

One thing that helped me was, on my way home from work, to just stop for maybe 5 minutes as I came into my suburb, to just stop for a moment. (And pray, because that's how I roll.)

Your kid needs you to not disappear into your phone. Put it down, and take the kid for a walk. There's a real world out there that's pretty nice sometimes. As a side bonus (presuming that you're married or live with your partner) you'll be a hero to your SO, who is probably desperate for a break from the kid.
Have an alternative job offer in hand so that you can leave on your own terms. I've been in similar situation in the past, and in hindsight if the top layer is toxic/incompetent, it eventually trickles down.
To him it's an achievement that confirms what he's been blathering abt for 20 years. But hopefully it will disincentivize others.
It's not "union busting" to negotiate with the union on new benefits that you'd otherwise give to employees. That's how the process works.
Are you sure about that? The jury recommended punitive damages, but as I understand it, in Connecticut the judge decides the punitive damage amounts in a later trial phase. I think today's number includes no punitive damages.
You’ll love this then, using a similar mass-spring approach to model vehicle dynamics in a PS1 game: https://youtu.be/pwbwFdWBkU0

There’s a bunch of similar stuff with varying degrees of physical accuracy under Position Based Dynamics and the more physically correct eXtended Position Based dynamics. It’s a fun approach.

The "irreverent" attitude is a hallmark of (US) west-coast (dare I say, Silicon Valley) post-hippie culture, which rose in reaction to the more straight-laced East Coast work culture.

OP here . Thank you . I feel stuck here in the US too since my family lives in a different country but I cannot move back because spouse and her family live here and the US has better prospects for kids . But I feel stuck in my career since I have become pigeonholed into support engineering roles , no strong friend group having grown up abroad and nothing to do apart from look at stuff on my phone and feeling left behind in pay and career.
Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude. But I am confused at what they want. We have continued the discussion and the picture is clearer to me. Though I'm not sure exactly how Signal can help with it. It still appears to me that the user wants both reduced storage but to maintain search history, which are at odds with one another. Unless they expect Signal to store their history, which those expectations should be shot down because that is against their core philosophy. I did suggest a hack that might fit their needs (full history on desktop but not phone).
I'm thinking probably alpha-particle decay exceeds that by a lot.
Yeah, but the whole point is that if it IS explicitly stated or even implied, then the whole concept of a VC's fiduciary duty to its investors gets thrown out the window because of some partner's personal biases that have no impact on a given company or product. That's unethical and dubious at best, and illegal or outright fraud at worst. All because someone didn't like that someone else was using a different kind of phone. That's nuts if you think about it.
Yes, France (and Canada where I moved recently looks like the same so far)

> The idea that `mean(424,34324,223123,3424,....)` even has any revelance to us at all is quite absurd.

Most of what I say to anyone is exactly this.

When I'm about to give anyone any information, I look back at all of the relevant past information that I can recall (through word and sensory association, not by logic, unless I have a recollection of an associated internal or external dialog that also used logical rules.) I multiply those by strength of recollection and similarity of situation (e.g. can I create a metaphor for the current situation from the recalled one?). I take the mean, then I share it, along with caveats about the aforementioned strength of recollection and similarity of situation.

This is what it feels like I actually do. Any of these steps can be either taken consciously or by reflex. It's not hidden.

> I think it's deeply depressing that AI has been sold as something even capable of modelling anything humans do

This is a bizarre position. All computers ever do is model things that humans do. All a computer consists of is a receptacle for placing human will that will continue to apply that will after the human is removed. They are a way of crystallizing will in a way that you can sustain it with things (like electricity) other than the particular combination of air, water, food, space, pressure, temperature, etc. that is a person. An overflow drain is a computer that models the human will. An automatic switch/regulator is the basic electrical model of human will, and a computer is just a bunch of those stitched together in a complementary way.
> This has never been true for any public company.

Not really true. Most billionaires utilize the "buy, borrow, die" strategy of borrowing against their holdings instead of selling to get around taxes. As long as the equity increases in price more than inflation you come out ahead, plus save the 20% on taxes. Then when they die their capital gains are reset so no taxes ever paid.
