Point being racial discrimination is acceptable so long as there is some plausible deniability
The title is very misleading. It is really about 20% - 30% that are focused on race or intersectionality. The whole thing jumpged the shark a while ago.
It was a fair few devices, including some that has been sold as getting lifetime updates (one of those sketchy instances where the lifetime in question is the lifetime of the product and they define the end of that by stopping the lifetime updates): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/42859546.amp

To be fair, perhaps more fair than is deserved IMO, the devices still did (probably still do) get qgps updates so function normally apart from having outdated maps and can, somewhat disingenuously, be said to be still be getting their lifetime updates.

> If you’re not in a single party consent state, get creative. Have a colleague in one of these states hop on the phone to help you record and document any layoff conversations.

This feels like very risky advice. If your colleague is not party to a conversation, you can’t just sneak them in to the conversation to have them record it.

> It basically mandates KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures for companies that buy or sell catalytic converters, and it makes buying or selling a catalytic converter without documentation that it was obtained legally a crime.

This is worse than the original problem. When did we become so comfortable with the government mandating presentation of papers and tracking of private transactions?

Effective, privacy-preserving law enforcement is difficult.

That doesn’t mean we should cut corners through ever-increasing state oversight targeted at the latest symptoms of criminality.

The choice isn’t between laws like this and having your catalytic converter stolen. The choice is between law enforcement actually doing their job, or invasive and ineffectual laws like this.

The justice department, in the very article we’re discussing, investigated and took down this ring without California’s new “KYC” regulations.

I've never been a morning person, but I have worked circles around some of those who valued that far more than it's worth.

Anyone who thinks getting up early makes them superior to those who don't is only boosting their ego. Getting stuff done right it what's truly important.

And plenty of people deal with variable work schedules often driven by coworkers in different time zones, shifts, on-call, getting up at 4am to catch a flight, some events that go late etc. I guess there are people with highly regimented hours but I can’t say I personally know a lot—but then most of the people I know have to be pretty flexible.

Probably not. It's definitely possible to write this function exactly as it is in openssl with this issue, nothing about Rust's safety claims prevent it. However, Rust doesn't have the same issues that lead to this kind of pattern being common like they are in C. Result<> types being so common, better handling of dynamic allocations, and at least for now a generally (it can't last forever) more security conscious community mean that other patterns will be chosen unstead. I'm not sure any language can actually prevent it from being possible outright, but you possibly pair it with some kind of formal proof system like using Coq and TLA+ might let you prove thag an issue like this doesn't exist in a specific implementation. However it's incredibly hard to do this.
It was a joke bro.
> It's because the privilege is being more wealthy, not being white. If the privilege only applies to rich whites and also applies to rich Asians and blacks then it's not white privilege but simply privilege.

Whites get advantages that have nothing to do with being more wealthy.

For example, once in the '80s I was driving around the Los Angeles area around 3 AM (I had insomnia and decide to just drive around randomly, and maybe pick up a snack at a 7-11) when I got pulled over for having one of my tail lights out. I was driving a cheap car, had a full unkempt beard and long hair, was wearing a tie-dyed shirt, and was in my early 20s. Anyone who saw me would probably think druggie.

I gave him my license and told him the registration was in the glove compartment. He shone his light on the glove compartment while I opened it and dug the registration out from under the $1000 in $20 bills that it was under.

He asked me why I had so much cash.

I told him that I'd responded to a classified ad from someone selling a modem for $1000. I was meeting them later that day and that was the money to pay for it.

He gave my license and registration back, told me to get the tail light fixed, and let me go.

I have no confidence that if I had been a young black man driving a cheap car looking like a druggie at 3 AM with $1000 in small bills in the glove compartment that things would have been so hassle free.
Agreed. It’s thirty seconds with a battery powered reciprocating saw to remove a cat which is also light enough to be carried by one person. There’s no way EV batteries could be accessed and transported away so quickly.
"Starting early shows discipline" is exactly as valid as "staying late shows dedication", i.e. not at all.
The trick is that the cops can stop caring and everyone will blame the DA; it's similar to how voters always think "crime" is increasing recently no matter the actual statistics or how safe the area they live in is.

American police are similar to a permanent paramilitary class like Janissaries or samurai. The local governments don't actually control them and as a civilian encountering them means they may kill you for honor violations.

Using Rust code in D should be relatively easy: expose C API, compile it into a shared library and use it on the D side as any other library. cbindgen (https://github.com/eqrion/cbindgen) can help with generation of header files. Static linking is possible as well.

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

While that is anecdotal, the overall statistics of police stops based on race are damning. This is just in the realm of policing, let alone workplace social dynamics, education, and the list goes on. So while class and white privilege are a venn diagram, their overlap is not at all total.
Well, there’s laws for the procedure of larger layoffs to protect the little people and prevent discrimination. Ignoring them will spawn lawsuits as well.

I don't follow, whatever you do from 7:30-9:30 I used to do just as well from 22:00-24:00. Family obligations unfortunately made splitting the work day in half like this very hard so I now start earlier, feel tired all day and am much less productive.

I'm just not a morning person, before 9:00 I just feel miserable. It doesn't matter if it is work, exercise, reading or studying - nothing feels right.
This is one of those things that started out as good advice, and then got turned in to an oversimplified parody of the original argument.

If you have something like:

var (
x = foo
other = bar
)

Then clearly you should use spaces to align those "="s, no matter if you use spaces or tabs for indentation. Similarly, "hanging indents" like:

coolFun(arg1,
arg2)

Can only be done correctly with spaces, and it doesn't really matter if you use tabs or spaces for indentation; this will still align correct no matter the tabstop size:

->coolFun(arg1,
-> arg2)

--->coolFun(arg1,
---> arg2)

------->coolFun(arg1,
-------> arg2)

If you had used tabs, changing the tab size would make it align all wrong.

The problem is when you start doing stuff like:

if (one) {
------>if (two)
bar();
------>else
xxx();
}

And then, depending on the tabstop size, things can start looking very misaligned and confusing; this is why Python 3 forbids mixing tabs and spaces in the same function, because it's so easy to make something appear wrong and there are no braces to clarify things.

That's what people mean with "don't mix tabs and spaces", not "if you use tabs then the space shall never appear in the file under any condition".
I am not a morning person and this article hits home for me every day.

> "Preparing for a Malicious “For-Cause” Termination The new leadership has dramatically changed the expectations of workload across the organization. It is now expected that teams work evenings and weekends to ship products. Work progress is being tracked by the hour in spreadsheets to build precedent for terminating workers “for cause” to avoid paying severance. "

Unfortunately this is happening at a different not-quite-FAANG company in the Bay as we speak

It’s a terrible feeling. Getting gaslit, having everything you do suddenly be under a microscope, finding flaws in any work you do correctly to further document your faults. Even though every other review you’ve had with your manager previously was positive. All to avoid paying out a mildly generous severance package en masse, and the bad press that comes with actual Layoffs…

Even California's labor laws are not going to be close to anything in Canada. And I don't know how many Twitter folks are remote, but if they're not in a very small minority of states, they're basically at the whims of management.

At the end of the day, Twitter is under new management and it is within management's right to change to circumstances of your employment. If they start pushing night and weekend work, and you don't deliver, that alone isn't necessarily a violation of any law. You didn't perform, and it's completely possible that your termination is legally for cause, even in California.

Employment law is very complex and honestly the situation will vary drastically even among similarly leveled folks on the same team fired at the same time. What kind of notification you're given, what kind of documentation there, previous reviews, etc. all play a role.

I think it's shitty to try to squeeze out people like this but just because it's shitty doesn't mean it's illegal or that it's a good idea to sue over it.

Poor kids get free or reduced cost lunches in all 50 states, thanks to the National School Lunch Program. The income threshold is adjusted annually to account for changes to the CPI. Tens of millions of kids participate in this program every year.

That's one of the things an auto shop can do for you. You don't need a new serial number or database; your VIN is good enough. But of course a thief can grind that off.

The other one is welding on the converter. It doesn't make it unstealable; but it's just not a quickie extraction anymore.

If your question is (as it should be), "What about legitimately fixing the converter? Can you still do that?" , I don't know.

I went to a state school that was a top 25 school at the time. The state did pretty much the same thing.

This was a disaster for the students who were top at their high school, but nevertheless not prepared to go to a top tier university because their high school was not a college prep school. They either flunked out or changed to majors they could scrape by in. They would have been much better off going to a community college for a year or two to level up first.

There are lots of reasons to keep using C++ on existing projects in C++ but there are not many reasons to choose C++ for a new project.
To me, the idea that there's any correlation there at all is frankly bizarre and smacks of presenteeism. Feels like a PHB-holdover we should all be rightfully trashing as an anachronism.

> Wouldn't it be much simpler and more reliable to just sandbox compilation of anything in your CI?

Not really. The compiler has to be able to access large swaths of your code. You want to e.g. keep your code safe. You would have to have very finely-grained sandboxing to prevent substantive disclosure, and even then you're likely leaking information.

I use Borg for photo and document backups to a remote server.

To my surprise, I found that my ethernet is about 25x faster than my Wifi network on the same router. 400MB takes just 50s compared to 21 minutes.

Though the theoretical mbps of both are comparable (100 vs. 150), wireless technologies always seem to be less consistent and vary a lot. I've noticed it with both Wifi and 4G.

It's ethernet all the way now whenever I'm backing up MBs or GBs, which is every week.
Yeah, it's WAY worse to have to check the provenance of an article for sale than to have your catalytic converter stolen.
SF recalled their supposedly "not hard on crime" DA, mostly because he offended the local Asian voters, but the new supposedly "hard on crime" DA in practice doesn't seem to be having much effect. Similarly Chesa didn't oversee Oakland or any other nearby areas but I've still seen people who live there blame things on him.

People generally have no idea how much crime there is. If you asked most people which of NYC and Oklahoma is safer they'd get it wrong whether or not they lived there.

Google search was by no means the first search engine, or the best. They succeeded by having good business acumen during one of the most turbulent phases of industry that tech has ever seen, along with a big drive to integrate the non-tech public into their products.

google has done great, I don't buy ' literally revolutionized the human experience of recorded information? ' -- it's simply not true; they just did well in that niche.

Had they gone insolvent another similar group would have dominated that same field, that should make it dead obvious that their business (search specifically) wasn't revolutionary -- just very successful.
That misses how even being rich does not protect you from significant racism. Just look at the well documeted experiences comparing a white or black person driving an expensive car. The black person is multiple times more likely to get stopped by police.

UV Ultraviolet light (UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C,) and near-UV "antimicrobial violet light" are sanitizing radiation.

Natural sunlight sanitizes because the radiation from the sun includes UV-* band radiation that is sufficient to radiate organic cells at this distance.

EM light/radiation intensity decreases as a function of the square of the distance from the light source (though what about superfluidic wave functions and accretion discs and microscopic black hole interiors (every 30km by one estimate) and Lagrangian points,).

Ultraviolet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet

> Short-wave ultraviolet light damages DNA and sterilizes surfaces with which it comes into contact. For humans, suntan and sunburn are familiar effects of exposure of the skin to UV light, along with an increased risk of skin cancer. The amount of UV light produced by the Sun means that the Earth would not be able to sustain life on dry land if most of that light were not filtered out by the atmosphere. [2] More energetic, shorter-wavelength "extreme" UV below 121 nm ionizes air so strongly that it is absorbed before it reaches the ground. [3] However, ultraviolet light (specifically, UVB) is also responsible for the formation of vitamin D in most land vertebrates, including humans. [4] The UV spectrum, thus, has effects both beneficial and harmful to life.

Ultraviolet > Solar ultraviolet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet#Solar_ultraviolet

> The atmosphere blocks about 77% of the Sun's UV, when the Sun is highest in the sky (at zenith), with absorption increasing at shorter UV wavelengths. At ground level with the sun at zenith, sunlight is 44% visible light, 3% ultraviolet, and the remainder infrared. [23][24] Of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface, more than 95% is the longer wavelengths of UVA, with the small remainder UVB. Almost no UVC reaches the Earth's surface. [25] The fraction of UVB which remains in UV radiation after passing through the atmosphere is heavily dependent on cloud cover and atmospheric conditions. On "partly cloudy" days, [...]
