> Bipolar disorder is genetic

It is not. The question has been settled on a huge scale by historical events.

If illnesses like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia were meaningfully caused by genetic factors, then the Nazi genocide of mentally ill people would have caused a dramatic and lasting reduction in mental illness post-war among the affected population. It didn't.

You might also ask yourself, if something is genetic, shouldn't identical twins (preferably raised apart) both get it or both not get it? Obviously that situation is rare, but researchers do seek out and study instances.

When equality would benefit men then suddenly it's questionable?
I think you are a little confused here.

Tar is a standalone archive format, you can create tar archives with the tar command and not use any compression utility at all. Here is an example that creates an uncompressed tar archive directly with no compression:

tar -cf $directory.tar $directory

You can also pipe the created archive to stdout instead of to a file if you want to:

tar -c $directory | wc -c
# send to a remote system
tar -c $directory | ssh dd of=~/$directory.tar

You can actually compress the archive by just piping it to a compression command:

tar -c $directory | zstd --stdout > $directory.tar.zst

The above pipeline is probably very similar to what tar is doing internally when you pass "--use-compression-program".

So in your case using "pigz -0" is totally useless since tar creates an uncompressed archive by default. You can totally omit the "--use-compression-command" flag to do what you want.

Of course, there are plenty.

But repaying training fees aren't one of them unless they don't make sense.

If you're a cashier and after 2 hours know how to do your job, your employer can't write a contract that says "Training costs $500,000 and you must repay if you quit before 5 years".

Contracts law is well developed and you can't sign a contract where you don't receive consideration. And I assume if such consideration is small, but the obligation is huge, the courts won't enforce it.

I was not good at sensing direction until I learned to fly. After I had been flying a year or two, my intuitive sense of direction on the ground became fairly keen, even when I moved to another state or even to Europe.

> Sell it now and you don't have to care what it's worth in 10 years.

Unless you're already clearly a unicorn it's not particularly easy to find a buyer for your founder equity in a startup at the prices it might IPO at if things go well.

Founders selling their own equity too early will also destroy morale and investor relations to the point where the company isn't likely to succeed anymore. Buyers realize this, and aren't going to hand you IPO prices for it.
If anyone asked me to define Copilot I'd refer back to this:

That is the most succinct and most accurate definition of Copilot I've ever seen.

Yes, they absolutely do, because again OSS or the GPL is meaningless if people are ignoring the license. More over I would suggest you talk to your employer's legal and IP departments to let them know you're copying code you don't have rights to into their product.

> We all produce software with reskinned and taped together functions. A collage is still unique, creative, work despite being glued together with other people's art.

Absolutely not.

Just because you apparently can't actually write new code yourself doesn't mean that that applies to other people.

Also, you should really get your employer to tell you whether your proposal of ignoring copyright is ok.

What you are saying is that if I google some problem, and copy some code from, say, gecko, or linux, or gcc, etc into my proprietary closed source product, that perfectly ok and those silly open source people should keep it to themselves if they don't want me doing so.

Why do people refuse to have even a pre-high-school level of of understanding of licensing? By uploading your code to Github you are granting them their own license to the code under their terms. Your LICENSE file has absolutely nothing to do with it. Your LICENSE file can say "everyone but Github" and wouldn't matter one jot because that's not the license you licensed it to them under.

And if you didn't have the rights to grant the licenses to Github? Then you are in violation of the copyright holder's rights, not Github.

The only remotely plausible, yes-I-have-graduated-fifth-grade argument against Github is that they ought to and certainly do know that huge portions of their users are in fact granting them licenses without the necessary authority. That's an interesting argument we should be having, and instead we're having this inane screaming match by people who have no clue what they're talking about while some of us are sitting here going WTF is wrong with you?

I didn't. Confusing comment.

Well-meaning anti-nuclear activists have reasoned incorrectly, but that doesn't mean they should be shamed. Shame is not the appropriate way to correct somebody who has reasoned incorrectly. Shaming them is counterproductive since they know themselves to have good intentions. If you want to bring them around to your point of view, you should use rational arguments.

Use shaming tactics against those who know they've done wrong, like those paid to lie by coal companies. They actually have something to be ashamed of.

It's a violation but this examples doesn't jive with how I use Copilot, for whatever that is worth. Usually Copilot takes into account context and integrates the various bits into a whole that fits in with the surrounding code. The "empty file, type function signature" use case feels somewhat dubious to try to understand actual, not theoretical, harm. Though I respect the right for this person to defend their rights.
The brain is a function. You're positing a distinction without a difference.
I think this writing needs a bit more organization - it reads like a stream-of-consciousness flow from the author, and while that's okay for literature, for complex energy issues it's hard to parse.

If the issue is the European energy market over the next six months or so, then at least quantify all the possible inputs more systematically. There's LNG tankers coming from the USA, there's whatever Eastern European pipeline capacity, there's Middle East and North Africa production of crude oil, there's the issue of whether crude oil is being imported to be refined, or refined products, etc. France's nuclear output potential is uncertain at best over the next six months. In addition, a rough calculation of the total input of wind and solar over the next six months would also be part of the picture.

Jumping from there into lithium battery production for vehicles doesn't make much sense (and note there are many other storage technologies for feeding solar/wind into the grid in a controlled steady manner that don't have the small volume footpring that lithium provides).
You can just mint your own token and then lie to people about how much bitcoin/dollars/euros/pesos/whatever is backing it, or not disclose it at all, which is exactly what they already do. At least central banks require lenders to have minimum reserves and you can know that regulated banks aren't going below that limit. No such thing exists in crypto, it's the wild west.
Yep - asset price deflation, consumer price inflation. But there's only so many consumer goods you need to/want to buy.

Things to buy with currencies experiencing inflation - hard assets with steady or increasing demand will probably do well over the next decade, but even those still have downside market risk as recession starts to bite, central banks keep tightening and all assets get repriced lower - likely lower than than current inflation.

With cash the only downside risk is persistent inflation - holding cash is ok for some time, but not forever. The value will get eaten away with inflation over time.

This is assuming you have available access to financial markets and US dollars. If you don't, I can see how stablecoins like USDC become attractive, perhaps even crypto like bitcoin and ethereum. Just stay away from the dodgy stuff - if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Yep - it would be useful if more people had literacy of using the tool for these conversations. I don't blame them, that shouldn't be expected or required, but there is a large gap between how bad this looks and how materially bad it is when you take into account the actual way Copilot is usually used.
Yes but if you have a large team you'll be using it hundreds of times a day. I will not be surprised if Copilot indemnity insurance is a thing in M&A in a five years.
> My belief is that public forums with reach into the tens or hundreds of millions are fertile ground for nationalist and genocidal movements, and they will be used for that purpose if it is not actively prevented.

Yes, we must crush all opposition so your side can have absolute power!!!

Let them speak?

Not one chance, where shall you draw the line? Where only your side wishes to draw the line, of course. Perhaps, the only choice then is to crush the other side, for if you don't they will use the forum for "nationalist and genocidal movements". So you see, they must be eliminated in their entirety. Wiped from the existence of all forums, wiped from participation in establishing truths. Or maybe, since they always seem to find support, always seem to find people willing to fight for the rights they represent, always seem to come back when you try to silence and silence and silence every mouth that exists, instead of repeatedly ineffectively trying to suffocate a voice that wishes to speak, maybe what you need to do is to eliminate them all, all of them from existence. This is the only way you will ever prevent genocide.
Here's the thing about GitHub that most people do not realize. I find this funny because of all the talk of following license agreements, very few have taken the time to read the terms of service for GitHub.

from their terms of service: "Short version: You own content you create, but you allow us certain rights to it, so that we can display and share the content you post." emphasis mine.

that's what they call the "Short version" of the following paragraphs, which are found here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

they allow themselves the right to display content you upload to others. GitHub does not seem to really put a cap on that in terms of what intentions it needs to have or for what purposes it needs to share your content.

this seems to me that, by putting your code on github.com, that you are granting GitHub license to show it to others. period. IANAL, but it seems like all code anyone puts on github.com is dual-licensed, at least. GitHub gets their own rights to your code.

I read this before I signed up, and while I can't remember if this exact passage was present at the time, I was ok with everything GitHub wanted at the time, and I continue to be.

githubcopilotinvestigation.com doesn't seem to have much hope of doing anything except getting people mad. but you all were already mad anyway, weren't ya?

> It kills no one when handled correctly, which it is.

This is not true. The German nuclear industry did not even manage to store low and intermediate level radioactive waste even remotely safely. Here is a report from July 2022 about the failure from German public television: https://www.ndr.de/geschichte/schauplaetze/Marodes-Atommuell... The report is only availablöe in German, but you may run the accompanying documentation through the translator of your choice, to learn what happened.

> Coal and gas plants produce pollution that kills thousands every year, and that's how it's supposed to work.

Wrong alternative. We need 100% renewable.

People like you would have said that about Japan too, before 2011, and actively ignore what happend in Harrisburg in 1979 or Sellafield in 1957.
The paper literally reaches the opposite conclusion to what you just said.

In any case, any sort of price control is bad for the consumer, so I'm opposed to the idea on principle.
>> That secrecy, however, comes with a psychological cost.

Being acknowledged for someone concerned about OpSec is minor, if not completely unimportant issue. Grind of maintaining OpSec for most is mind numbing in my experience, especially over an extended duration. One minor slip ends it all - and risk of slipping increases relative significance of the related operations, since more eyes increases odds someone will notice something, they’ll be forced into unfamiliar situations, etc.

Beyond that, research shows that odds of being discovered grow as more people know:

The communist environmental record makes the US look druidic.
Why is this pricing surprising (or bad)? Certain groups of people pay more (or less) for certain products, and the market reflects that.

The alternative being proposed sounds much worse: price control (based on ingredients?)? Not all products are mere sums of their parts, and some people prefer the premium experience regardless of the differences.

They aren't literally charging based on gender - but different brands targeted towards different genders offer different prices and experiences. If the products really are that similar, the other gender can buy the other gender's product no problem.
The price difference found was 0.05% in products with substantially similar key ingredients. Regardless of the sign of that 0.05%, that makes me think that the market has sorted this out.
>This is the kind of stuff that makes robot/computer customer service bad.

On the article's anecdote, I'm pretty sure the robot didn't just literally "freeze" but show a message explaining that number is unknown and ask to retry with the right one. The customer couldn't understand the international prefix was missing, and kept reinputing the same thing again and again.

That kind of stuff will regularly happen with human being typing into the form for you, and telling you the system can't find your number. It's after the first or second try that they'll start debugging with you, checking if you changed you number or put your spouse's one, if it's foreign etc. That "traditional" flow doesn't seem too far from the experience the author had, except they perhaps tried 5 or 6 times instead of 2, because in their mind the robot must be dumb in that specific way and can totally react differently the 6th time.

I'd argue the robot setting is kind of the best of both worlds: customers in the happy path will fly through the system, and customers hitting the wall will have staff that are specially ready to work it out with the customer.

PS: even with a half-baked input system, customers who get used to it after the second or third time will still be faster than dealing with staff inputing their info for them. It's a clear advantage for repeaters.

Fast food restaurants employees are not faster at explaining the menu, or showing the payment options, scanning the membership card etc. IME you can't just dump a magic incantation at the cashier and have them remember it all while hitting the right buttons. Some might be capable of that, most are just part time students keeping their mental energy for the next day's lectures.
Breaking news: people of different genders have different preferences about price/quality tradeoffs in their shampoo and razors.

Why is this surprising at all? Also, why is this discrimination?

Seriously, my wife and I both like high quality grooming products. She uses men's razors, because they tend to give a better shave per dollar, and I use a brand of shampoo targeted at women after two past brands of high-quality men's shampoo have gone out of business due to lack of demand.
