Of course it's about money.

People take chance if reward offsets. And it's easy money if business aligns with state interests, with Ma being properly fucked over after being warned many times when his ponzi lending proposal scheme. Because prospect of stupid amount money made his brain go dumb dumb and think it was fine challenging regulators. See how PRC hard tech jobs that 5year proposal is prioritizing is seeing explosion in compensation and opportunities when cracked down sectors of soft sci aren't. In which case Xi and his friends come over and give you personal handjobs along with bags of of state subsidies.

Or as if sexual harassment meaningfully impacts competitiveness US business enviroment. Or that sports star is a business leader now? That's like saying kpop / jp idols / hollywood will fail because you can fuck your way to success. As if fucking way to top is CCP exclusive trick.

The fact of the matter remains, more high skilled PRC nationals are staying or returning to PRC than ever to work in well compensated PRC industries where there aren't bamboo ceilings and with recent developments like China initiative, less targetted political prosecution. At least in PRC you get fucked for doing too well, and raped to get ahead, vs in US where PRC nationals are increasingly being fucked and kept down due to whims of domestic politics. Again, PRC is so alluring for Chinese Americans that US has to literally sanction and start kangaroo courts to scare folks from working in China.
Saw them both but they aren't worth it. Forgot to mention.

Which is not self-defense. You’re conflating the two and it’s a poor argument for taking a life over an exhaust pipe with some minerals in it.

I’ve spent a lot of time under a car and I can tell you I don’t think the solution is bolting the catalytic converter down tighter.
Why would the high performing employees unionize with the poor performers to protect them? They’re grateful to see the deadweight cut off.
Yeah. That’s why the sun is rigged in their favor. It chooses to rise a few hours after the morning people decide to wake up.

I think if by record they mean "write down what is said", this may not violate the wiretap laws of some states.

I'm not sure why you are cherry picking my argument. This too feels like bait. You're painting with a really broad brush, putting things into neat aggregated boxes, and ignoring the difference between history and current days. I also don't think one country doing wrong in the past (or even currently) justifies another country doing wrong.

Can we just all agree that if something is wrong that it doesn't matter who does it? I've assumed this is such a non-controversial statement that it need not be said, but it appears I am wrong.
Makes sense then. If I’ve underestimated how low effort the spam attempts are, then it stands to reason that much of my subsequent thinking isn’t applicable. Thanks for taking the time to share this dang. It’s a little peek at the “ops burden” I was talking about and it makes it much more clear why the current shadow banning is needed to make the workload sustainable.
It’s THOUSANDS of pounds. It’s not a trivial operation.

It may happen, but it will never be anywhere near as common as cat theft.

One is safe, trivial, fast, and pays a lot. The other is extremely difficult, possibly lethal, and can’t easily be melted down for profit like a cat.
Yes, it is.

The police can — clearly, as per this article — do their job without yet another intrusive privacy overreach being put permanently on the books.
It’s a bit more than a couple hours before midnight in my current timezone. I’m probably more tired than I ought to be given it’s mid-evening where I’ve lived the better part of 20 years, but I’m adapting to my current circumstances. I’ll probably wake around 7, and probably begin work between 9–10. Some of my team will begin work around the same time but several hours earlier by their clock. Some will probably be nearing the end of their workday. We’re all doing pretty well with the overlapping hours we have and make efforts to overlap them as well as we can as needed. No one’s being judged positively or negatively on the hours they keep, we’re adults doing our jobs and taking it seriously.

If your workplace is rigged to favor such arbitrary competition, there’s probably much more wrong with your workplace. I’m sure that’s real and I don’t mean this to be dismissive. But this definitely strikes me as more a symptom than a particular problem in itself.
Depends when they start. Depends why they're there. Depends on the child care.

Being in child care at 10pm isn't inherently any better or worse than being in child care at 10am. It's all relative.
How well did that prevent 9/11?

The decrease in domestic terrorism is due to societal changes and better old-fashioned policing of home-grown extremist groups. We didn’t somehow make it impossible (or even difficult) to improvise large explosives.
You only need a majority to unionize. Do more than 51% of Twitter employees think they’re the highest performing?

Let the exceptionalists fend for themselves if they feel so inclined. You only have to convince the majority, not those who think they’re the best (whether warranted or not). If you’re “high performing”, you’ll land anywhere you want, right? Call their bluff. What do you have to lose? Your tenuous at will employment?
It's shameful is what it is. Richest man in the world trying to pick the pockets of average workers after he abused them and threw them out of a job.

This is arbitrary. One can also prepare for the next day by working late the night before, start working later in the morning, and be just as fully up to speed and ready to go at 9:15. Standup could also just as easily be at 11:15. Why is your way superior?

SteamVR tracking does use photodiodes, but it is an inside out tracking system. This is because the photodiodes are on the tracked devices. The base stations project distorted planes of light that sweep through the play space and thef planes quickly flash to communicate information like the orientation of the base station.
No doubt, though it's worth considering the tech industry is a bit more diversified now than the days of COBOL number crunchers and Space Invaders. What you're describing seems closer to PHP vs. Javascript than something as entrenched as idio-matic legacy C++.

Is there a national bicycle theft ring? I have a vague impression that it's mostly small groups. Steal a few bikes, maybe swap some parts around, sell them as used bikes, repeat.

This takedown seems to have been possible because there was a central group that was moving hundreds of millions of dollars of stolen goods - maybe even billions if you take "cost to manufacture" instead of "resell value". Why would a bike theft ring that centralized exist?

I don't think being a morning person has much to do with loving/hating to wake up early. It's more about how easy it's for you to get enough sleep if you have to wake up early every morning.

I'm definitely not a morning person, but I love waking up early (ideally a bit before sunrise). Unfortunately my circadian rhythm is always creeping forward. Whenever there is something special (like a trip across multiple time zones) that allows me to reset the rhythm, I get a couple of weeks of early mornings. But eventually I'm back at balancing between sleeping late and not getting enough sleep, because I fall asleep a little bit later every night.

That "taking care of themselves" sounds much like "listening to your body" as a cure to obesity. Taking care of themselves is precisely what makes some people sleep late.

It's worth noting that Tana is currently early access. IIRC, it just opened to public beta on September 30th. I believe the Google account thing is specifically noted as a temporary thing (and I suspect it's because they appear to use Firebase, so Google account would have been trivial to get started).

You can export to some kind of JSON format. I haven't looked at that yet, personally.

Offline would be good and they definitely need a better mobile story, but for such a new product it's still really great.

It sounds like everyone is being required to work some pretty crazy hours. Why would even high performing employees want to be burned out when they could easily get another job?
That's ignoring the trees for the forest and saying that forest growth and death patterns are entirely inexplicable because the system is too complex.

Psychologists use statistical models because we lack the full understanding of the brain, but that doesn't mean that behavior can't be predicted if we did have a full understanding.

Saying that the rock rolling down the hill has a distribution pattern completely ignores complexity. Did it have the same exact starting point each time? How strong was the wind blowing and in which direction? Did a pebble move out of the rocks path from the last run?

If all conditions of the rock rolling down the hill are exactly the same that means that the rock will take the same path each time. Differences create that statistical distribution.

Consider also the time value of money. If you buy the acoustic you are out all of that money immediately. If not, you can invest it and at least beat inflation. That’s assuming you have the lump sum in hand of course, you may not, and be forced to buy on credit, which will in turn drive a different economic analysis.

I’m pretty comfortable in my belief here. Certainly the immediate winner is the DP, and you may not stick with it long enough, or even live long enough, to win the long term bet you are making here.

Back to my original point — I’m not saying the acoustic isn’t worth it, simply that you should not analyze it from a purely economic point of view, because it is a losing argument from that perspective.
> When did we become so comfortable with the government mandating presentation of papers and tracking of private transactions?

Have you ever run a business? You have to track a lot already. For the IRS, for your business license, for auditing, for compliance depending on what goods and services you sell. You know like firearms, tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceuticals are big ones, but also animals, chemicals, certain kinds of technology. If you require a federal permit, if you sell goods across state, international, if you ship things. Like, I feel like this cat came out of the bag before the 18th century, based on my understanding of the regulation of businesses in the United States.

I would say that Elon Musk must know that trying to layoff half the company under the guise of "for-cause" would be certain to open him up to massive legal liability, but the past few months have led me to suspect Mr. Musk fundamentally misunderstands the American legal system.

In any event, it would be illegal, there would be plenty of lawyers ready to work on contingency, and politicians would also be eager to investigate.
I wonder if Musk would have claimed that was an MAE. My gut says yes.

> There is no way in hell the buyers don't know the volume and source is complete wrong and criminal.

I sold my defective OEM Prius cat on EBay (I bought it knowing it was broken on my car and installed new in 2018) for parts to test how liquid the market was before I went looking for funding (post above) and doing DD and market research, it was rather easy and someone paid within two hours for the reserve price ($1000+).

Shipping was the biggest headache/cost of the whole process, but the guys on ebay buy Platinum, Platinum, Rhodium are still around.

While I don't deny some larger brokers at work, possibly OEMS, the fact is that everyone was grifting during covid, the stock market and real estate was soaring, corpo America (and the World) was flush wit bailout money etc... This wasn't even a blip on the radar of the billions being made.

70% and not this year. Over half of it is offline.

They at least had the sense to build about 20% renewables which is working fine.
Even then, it's not entirely positive, is it?

It's essentially saying 'It was an honor to meet him;' that could mean that you were undeserving, or simply that it was something unusual that most people didn't get to do; if it were common, it wouldn't be a privilege, would it?

In the thread's context, usually it's associated with not granting the privilege to someone else, as well - you have a privilege that others do not, one that you do not do anything to deserve.

I don't know about you, but I don't really believe that 'white privilege' is intended as a positive. It's intended to have a negative connotation, otherwise there would be no impetus for change.
except eBay

AFAIK the cleaning is done with steam. As for water needed, the water isn't consumed when you use it, it just gets a bit dirtier. Just put it back in the river you got it from when you're done rinsing out bottles.
>Sane string implementation, so instead of performing some shenanigans with buffers to concat two strings, I can just "a" + "b"?

Because system language users care about what happens when you do that. Where is it being allocated? What happens to the original strings? And a lot of other questions that relate to memory management. These languages are faster in part because of the control you get over allocations.

In C++ one could use a vector<char> to build a temporary string (or use stringstream for a fancier interface), but that also means that whenever something is appended to it, it must check the container capacity to handle possible reallocations, etc. Very similar to how most high level languages handle strings. But that comes at a cost.

A common C pattern is to simply receive a pointer to a block of memory to use for the string, write to that and null terminate it. If the buffer size is insufficient, it will stop writing but continue parsing so it can return the size of the required buffer so the user can allocate that and call the function again. Most libraries avoid allocating stuff on behalf of the user. On the common case (buffer size is enough), it'll be much faster as no heap memory needs be allocated, moved around, etc.
That is talking about adolescents (10-19) not kids.

Having someone on a call writing down what is said does not create as compelling of evidence as an audio/video recording.

> Using D code in Rust probably will be much more painful and I am not sure if it can be done 100% safely...

Can you elaborate? Saying it will be "much more painful" without anything further is not especially helpful. I've added D functions to C programs more or less trivially, including compiling to a shared library, with no change to the code.
"collectively the packages listed above account for over 5700 downloads"

The "US national" status is a legacy of the Insular Cases, and all the other cases formerly in this bucket have either gained independence (Philippines) or become full US citizens (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands).

So in the hypothetical case that American Samoa is returned to Samoa, the logical options are to either make all American Samoans citizens of Samoa, or to give them the option to choose between Samoan and American citizenship. In either case the weird "national" status will cease to exist.
I'm curious on how to make such a change in such a large and living code base.

Did you consider _not_ re-indenting the entire code base and rely on the auto formatters of contributing people? Did you consider re-formatting parts of the code step-by-step, beginning with code that's not frequently changed?

Didn't know about the feature that ignores commits in git-blame, thank you for that.
