1. Microsoft salaries are on the lower end compared to other FAANGs, this is well known fact.

2. Higher paying firms like goog fb are able to sweep the labor market and get the most of folks from tiny population of well qualified minority candidates. Making pipeline issues worse for everybody else.

3. At this point if you are minority and is qualified - you have no problem getting top tier job and top tier pay relatively easy, especially when compared to asian male population.
There's another reason for iOS users to avoid Signal: It eats up Gigabytes of storage space, refuses to ever clear it, and the devs are rather resistant to accepting that it's even a problem at all: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4916
Azure the cloud and azure dev ops are two separate but integrated things from the same company. DevOps itself runs in azure.

I think there are plenty of reasons to choose Azure Cloud. Maybe Azure Devops flows from that. But it is far from my favourite tool.

Not sure that masses of people will no longer trust Apple due to a move into advertising. Many people still use products from companies that have continually done things that are against the interests of their users.

Now, I do agree that it is a systemic risk to the company. Ultimately, businesses/people/organizations respond to incentives, and for businesses that is usually revenue. If your revenue comes from your customers, you're more likely to be aligned to the needs of your customers and try to meet their needs.

However, with advertising, your customer is the advertiser, not the end-user. Additionally, your end user probably doesn't want advertising, so your incentives are now significantly misaligned with your end-user. Maybe that is fine for the near term, but each small decision that's pro-advertiser and anti-user compounds over time and eventually, creates a more user-hostile product.

Also, as an aside, I expect the stock price drives decisions way more than how much money Apple has in reserve.

The biggest issue I can see with using two separate apps is checking who's on Signal and who isn't. That means opening up Signal to see if they're on there and then switching to SMS if they aren't. I much prefer having both types of contacts in the same UI and it's been obvious to me which messages are secure. Also, when someone then joins Signal, subsequent messages to them automatically get upgraded to being secure with no effort on my part.
> Second, even if that were true - then the problem is that culture is being built off of copyrighted works in the first place. Solve that.

I mean - the natural state of these works has ALREADY solved that, they are easily copied and distributed. The only prevention is arbitrary law/policy that says we (the royal one) shouldn't.

So you're essentially arguing that no one has the right to a product, but they do - in a natural state, copying and sharing those items IS THE DEFAULT.

In fact - copyright law is insanely new, as far as laws go - dating back only about 300 years (1710 - Statute of Anne).

Personally - I think the whole thing was a mistake, and we've seen complete erosion of public access to works of all sort (not to mention education) under these new laws. That said - they're wildly successful if the goal is to subvert culture for private gains.
> Then the first cable channels came along like MTV, Lifetime, ESPN, USA.

MTV was actually a ripoff of QUBE channel C-1 program "Sight on Sound" which didn't air advertisements the way we think of them. Instead record labels could pay to have their music videos prioritized or to run giveaway contests.

QUBE also lead to the creation of Nickelodeon (Which itself was ad-free for several years). QUBE channel C-3 "Pinwheel" was the first cable channel made for only young children, and was spun off into Nickelodeon when QUBE went defunct.

The QUBE T channels were just cable links to conventional OTA broadcast television channels (T for television).

QUBE C channels (C for community) did not have ad breaks. Instead there would be sponsored giveaways or sponsored shows which eventually lead to the current practice of infomercials. Except with QUBE the segments were live and viewers could push one of 5 buttons on the remote to interact with the program. For example in a sponsored cosmetics segment viewers could vote on whether the next topic would be one of 5 options, lipstick, mascara, etc. Sight on Sound would ask some questions about current viewer demographics (are you male/female. Are you in age group ABCDE. How many people are watching right now), the dj would say it was to play music matching the current demographic, but it was mainly collected to give metrics to sponsored segments or to wait for an appropriate time to play a sponsored segment.

But what most urban people considered "cable" at the time would be the QUBE P-channels. P for Pay. Unlike other pay channels at the time like HBO, the P channels were a monthly subscription (each), not pay per view. Notably, QUBE got into the news several times because of channel P-10, which aired softcore porn.

Also ESPN did not initially air advertisements during programming, only in between programs. But they also only had sports no one really cared about for the first few years. No major sports, no college games. But they did have highlights and some international sports.

https://youtu.be/7Fz1bSViIZw

The main reason early cable-only channels didn't have advertising is mainly because the subscriber numbers were so small there wasn't much revenue to be made targeting 5-10k viewers. Once subscriber numbers went up, and higher budget programming was in-demand (sports licensing is ridiculously expensive) ad breaks similar to OTA channels were introduced. But many of cable's early adopters bought into it on word of mouth, and word at the time was "no ad breaks!" It wasn't a goal of cable TV, just a side effect of the development.

It was only a few years, but there were a few years when cable tv had no ad breaks for the majority of urban subscribers. It's sort of like someone saying Netflix used to have pretty much every show and movie, and then pulling up stats from 2014 and beyond saying no they didn't.
Not in question. I guess the issue is that SMS bubble color is such a weak indicator of success that it should call into question somebody who regards it as noteworthy.
I think in the US some operators (T-Mobile at least) require ID even for pre-paid SIMs. Are there any US operators not requiring IDs in practice?
How would you use the "derived personality" to identify those that you would get on well with? Even if you can come up with some kind of meaningful distance metric, it's definitely not clear that that's useful for matching individuals. For one thing it's completely ignoring the most important factor in dating, which is initial mutual physical attraction. For another, many (I would conjecture most) people are attracted to people who are quite different from themselves.

You're arguing by straw man.

Worrying about going to a good school and getting a good job is a nice worry to have.

Worrying that your kid will be the next Trayvon Martin is the reality that many-non white parents worry about. I understand you won't ever have to worry about your children like in that manner. That is one of the benefits of being white.

And white people can scream as loud as they want about how it's unfair they are being discriminated against, in reality they just don't get to enjoy all the advantages they had in prior years for being white.

Yes and if it's an unmanaged device it is by definition not being managed by an MDM. The title of the link makes it clear that the context is "device deployment." Further the section un the linked article states"Always On VPN"

"Supervision generally denotes that the device is owned by the organization, which provides additional control over its configuration and restrictions."[1]

Personally like TextraSMS. Has a free ad-supported version, but I paid to remove ads when it was on sale several years ago (maybe $1).

It's not a cult. Sure, there are busybodies pushing weird issues at the general assembly meetings, but I'd compare it to Trader Joe's if it were staffed by mostly volunteers who only work every 6 weeks - bit incompetent, but very normal.

> I do believe that there is real bullying, from insecure jerks (I have seen it, and experienced it), but this sounds more like garden-variety usury by a sociopathic upper manager.

Same shit, different toilet. Bullying is an alarmingly-common way to Peter Principle yourself into positions of greater power, and bullies loathe anyone who even minutely and accidentally threatens that power. They squeeze subordinates because they are bullies, and it's about time we called 'em like they are.
I have no objections to your claim that race is socially constructed. I agree. Where I disagree is in the logical leap that that means it doesn't exist. Your specific examples are irrelevant to this point.

The simple truth of yesterday is the same as today.

The wrong people are defining what progress means and leading us towards it for profit not because they have a real vision.

Meta is lame. Facebook wasn't special; the approach Zuckerberg took to create a network effect was. That's it.

Microsoft wasn't special. The tactics Gates used to destroy his competition and adopt their technology was. That's it.

What I'm excited about is the day people who have the ability realize that gives them the power and all they need to do is unite to create an actual digital future for humanity. Not these absurd assholes with dreams of a virtual Oompa Loompa army.

Fair enough. Sorry, I don't want to be overly critical.
I actually think piracy is more like speeding than civil disobedience for most people. The intent of most people who pirate things isn't to get caught and change the laws. The intent is to just ignore a law that is inconvenient.

And it is sort of similar in the sense that, copyright law is over aggressive, honestly, many speed limits are set too low, violation is pretty wide-spread, and within reason it seems basically fine.

It breaks down a bit at the edges though, because extreme violations of speed limits can result in harm and death, while copyright is just lost profits.
...and there I am here in Germany where nobody seems to use SMS anymore.

No.

There's zero evidence any Ukrainians want to alter borders. In 1991 when the borders were set, there was a referendum and all regions in Ukraine voted in favor of independence from Russia. In the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine became a party to the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty, as a non-nuclear weapons state. Russia, U.S., U.K. recognized Ukraine under these borders, and gave security guarantees to it.

Russia has violated this treaty by invading twice, once in 2014 and again in 2022. And violating numbers sections of the UN Charter and Geneva Convention, both of which it's also a party to. There can be no peace until Russia extracts itself from every inch of Ukraine, and there is no reason to trust any peace agreement Russia signs until they do so.

I think in-person meetings are compelling, but it's a trade that most aren't willing to make.

Snark aside, VR meetings have similar benefits and similar drawbacks to in-person meetings. Besides, this is covering for the uselessness of many meetings. If you are not contributing to the point that you are actually working on something else, you shouldn't have been there (or the meeting doesn't have an agenda, or invited too many people, etc).

You are, because the type still depends on the value of n. It's just that that value is unconstrained. It can still be used parametrically in type signatures, though, e.g.

append : Vect n a -> Vect m a -> Vect (n+m) a

That's not possible without dependent types.
I'm fine with boring-looking internet. Usually, websites are means to an end. The content or the functionality is what matters. I end up reading a lot of websites with Pocket or Firefox's reader mode.

Perhaps it's because a lot of the whimsy feels insincere, or comes at the wrong moment. Perhaps it's because I value self-effacing tools. Either way, I'm okay with boring pages.

Especially when that company is Google.
With Newton's method, you'll be solving Hx=g (H = hessian of f, g = gradient of f) at each iteration. For large number of variables N, building H is of order N^2 and solving Hx = g is of order N^3 with an usual solver. N^2 and N^3 are really large for an already large N. I believe the reason is as simple as that. It isn't that it is tedious and difficult to write down the formulas or the code to compute H. It's just too costly, computationally speaking. There is also an increased memory cost (possibly having to store H).

When people do have ways to go around this problem, they do use Newton's method for large scale problems.

It's not mutually exclusive at all, see KDE, but it takes more time, and people will have the option to mess it all up.

The amount of data that VSCode collects dwarfs this though.
I've lost multiple jobs because of terrible co-workers and idiot bosses who don't have the faintest clue of the difference between a moral person and an immoral one. They would much rather keep the people the know already, than keep the person that brings the problem to their attention.

This needs to change. My solution may seem a bit extreme to some people, but I think businesses should be shut down for doing that sort of thing. And the respective owners/bosses/management/employees to the situation put through a stint of incarceration.

My reasoning is that they already don't obey the labor laws, so slapping them with fines and minor reprimands is pointless. Gotta go whole hog on these people so they get the point. Their actions (or lack of thereof) are not going to be tolerated.

Luckily, my current employers seem more reasonable, so that's nice. But it's part time work, and when I say part time, I really mean it. It's almost practically a gig job.

But there are no dumb co-workers, because the bosses are the co-workers.
Back in my university student days, I wrote a pair of a compiler and an interpreter: the compiler accepted a language that looked like a mix of Oberon and Perl (I called it pıpl, from "pıpl isn't a programming language"), it produced Forth-like output, and then the interpreter ran it.

The compiler was written in C+bison+flex, the interpreter was in Object Pascal. Unfortunately, the sources didn't survive.

I understand your point. I am undecided about the overall impact. I have spent my life in two countries. One is a dictatorship where the culture is basically to tell the cops the truth to avoid trouble. Not great but the net effect is the country has less crime. Less murders, less armed robbery and it is a pretty safe. Just don't say anything about politicians. The other country has a culture of not cooperating with the cops. Basically someone can be shot in a street full of people and not a single witness will come forward. The net result this country is far more dangerous and you need to be careful when out and about. None of them are perfect because humans are not perfect.

I will go out on a limb and assume you do not have kids.
I don’t know, geeks universally like to nitpick, and somehow have this idea that the internet is the place where that nitpicking actually is good and valued and adds inches to their geek weewee. Or they build a temple to dogmas they believe. Who knows.

Maybe you should create a forum where this kind of behavior is not tolerated.

But then again, once your community grows large enough, you’re bound to get obnoxious pedants who will make a flamestorm about whether X or saying X or doing Y constitutes nitpicking or not and will beat the issue to death abd beyond. Somehow your moderators will get caught in these and take sides. Or you will find that the moderators are the worst offenders.
