They have identified that Blood Boy Man’s Roth alone is twice the size of his previously publicly estimated net worth. And through a tax loophole most normal people have no way of using. And clearly this wasn’t a deliberate loophole , it just got exploited into one. This seems like a good substantial article to me. I’m just curious if there are people here trying to indirectly undermine criticizing our “democracy is untenable” leader here, just like PG is shilling for Elon or Dave Chappelle is asking us to forgive Kanye. Keep moving the Overton window saying they al did nothing wrong it’s the system that’s broken, is that your message?

> When ordered to produce information about what 149 different data systems within Meta do, and what parts of Meta’s business use them, the company was unable to respond.

This feels to me more like a "tantrum-compliance" (I made it up) with a court order. But what do I know about it (nothing), maybe there is data anarchy at Meta.
People who consent to this are in a vulnerable position usually, exploiting someone like that is rather unethical.

Hand holding is (or was) acceptable by boys in Korea; and so was non-sexual physical touching, even well into the college age by young men.

So it was a shock when I first befriended some Koreans in the US on student visas back in the 1980s.

That angl-saxon coldness was a learning experience for both parties. Being raised in the US by an emotionally distant Korean mother (Asperger’s?) I just thought that the US standard was normal.
We have a good crew and most do that. Some seem to only live in the moment, walk in and give me a updated IP for something and I'll tell them to email it and I'll update it when I'm working on that. There is a certain percentage of problems I can solve with a email link to our intranet docs though...
I am surprised to see this type of reply in 2022. When I Google "do masks reduce COVID-19 transmission?", I get huge number of hits for peer reviewed published scientific papers. And most of the papers are focused on less-than-N95 masks. For the ones that I reviewed, the answer is overwhelming "yes", and a statistically significant reduction.
Sigh. Is no space safe from political activism?
Nope, Alt+F4 is the close window shortcut.

This is even visible in the OS-controller Window Menu - hit Alt+Spacebar in any window of any app, and you'll see the Window menu appear, which will include an option for Close (the current window), showing that the shortcut for it is Alt+F4. This is even true for modal dialogs (if they are real Windows modal dialogs).
I did Montessori from age 4-8 and then transitioned because of a move.

Montessori worked really well for me. I have always been 'ahead' and I could explore my own interests. I was never bored in school which is something that changed later on in life. I have very fond memories of that school and my own kids (currently 5 and 3) are in a Montessori school and day care as well.

My son specifically is also doing awesome in Montessori and loves going to school. They have themed shelves with 'tasks' (this is translated, not sure about the common English terminology). Every day they have to do at least one task from the 'language' shelf and one from the 'math' shelf. They also have geography, practical life skills and 'cosmology' (basically anything else) shelves.

Teachers keep track of their skills and accomplished tasks and basically sweep behind if they are lacking in one or more areas by encouraging them to pick up more tasks from those areas.

According to the school on average Montessori kids are more independent, great at critical thinking, more self-confident and tend to pick up leadership roles later in life (I do feel like this applies to me, but I've only had a couple of Montessori years so hard to judge).

I am a big fan.

Is there anything specific you are worried about/interested in?
So what's the point of the article then?

This is exactly how to solve this problem, but people would rather get angry at the rich for being rich than think sensibly about it.
Why be productive then? Both for those who get basics anyway and for those who get taxed through the roof?

I'm using „productive“ instead of „work“ for a reason. It's easy find a BS „work“ to do. E.g. I could spend my days bicycling and pretend I'm making a map :) And build some software for fun, e.g. yet another todo app. But neither is productive for the society at large.
Oddly i setup a new Ubuntu VM for a project im working on and left it running for a few weeks, came back to find it consuming 13Ghz from the host.

The Kalevala played an important role in the development of Finnish national identity, which the Russian empire slightly encouraged in order to make it more difficult for the Swedes to retake Finland, which had only recently been ceded to Russia at the time. Which is kind of ironic in a way, given the events of 1917.

The epic heavily inspired Tolkien (who ended up adopting a number of Finnish influences in his elvish languages) and Jean Sibelius (himself born to a Swedish-speaking family, although Swedish-speaking Finnish nationalists were not uncommon), Finland's foremost composer after whom the both-loved-and-hated music composition software is named. His most famous work based on a story from the Kalevala is probably the Swan of Tuonela: https://youtu.be/HjyLWoJvtME
No it doesn't.

If I open blender and hit 'Render Image', a new Window will open with the rendered image. This does NOT spawn a new process. Hitting Alt+F4 on this window closes the window. This does NOT kill a process.
Technically applies and realistically applies are two very different things.
I agree. I don't think it was the intent for people to amass a multi-billion dollar accumulation in their Roth account. And when we're talking about whether something is "right," or "wrong,"--which different from whether or not if it falls within the rules--I think we can look at the contribution limits as a hint of the intent.

I'd even go as far to say that the $5k/yr contribution limit of Roth account makes it pretty clear that Roth was not supposed to be used to gain tax privilege on vast sums of money.

It's a retirement account. How much money do people need for retirement? 22B? Give me a break.
With all due respect 800.000 is a moderate amount looking at some awards in the consumer space in the US considering that we are looking here at a situation where eavesdropping on other people in the privacy of their homes is involved.

It's not Apple's fault. @ being on Q is the German national norm [1].

The problem is people who are accustomed to Windows keyboard layouts (which matches the national norm) - they are accustomed to Alt Gr+Q for @, and the Alt Gr key is on Windows the key right next to the space bar... which means they press Cmd+Q on Macs instead out of muscle memory.

You can put in a Windows keyboard layout that restores your sanity on macOS [1] with only the small re-learning of using right Option instead of cmd, the problem is stuff like Adobe Premiere outright refuses to load keyboard shortcuts if it doesn't recognize the keyboard layout.

From my limited understanding this is wrong and you should consult a tax advisor before attempting do set this up.
“Ort der Geschäftsleitung” (smth. like “location where business decisions are made”) seems do be a recurring topic when it comes to taxation of foreign companies in Germany. They might argue you are “unbeschränkt steuerpflichtig” in Germany. (You owe taxes just like if your company was registered there.)

I could imagine someone who looked so much better while wearing glasses that "they're charming because of their glasses" is true.

Anyway, it seems much more likely that there would be a causative link between ADHD and creativity- e.g. some common underlying factor that boosts the explore tendency in explore/exploit along with openness to experience. A brain that naturally roams more could be expected to produce more novel syntheses.

Ironically, https://www.welfound.com/ with one L appears to be a (much smaller) existing job platform - so good luck with your confusion, and have fun, lawyers!

In seriousness, on the hiring side I've found AngelList Talent to be one of the more solid sources of thoughtful, passionate candidates. As the entire tech sector, not just angel-adjacent stages, is transforming before our eyes, it's great timing that Wellfound is forging a broader identity. I hope the branding issues don't cause problems, because I hope to continue using the platform!

Again, nothingburger complaints for the vast majority of Mac users.
But that's exactly the issue. In most cases with that for loop we just want to apply the same operation to every item in a collection and shouldn't need to explicitly code a loop for that. So it should be possible to take advantage of higher level language constructs to express that, or define our own constructs through some form of meta programming. Is there a way to accomplish that while still retaining readable code?
The classic use case is minimize to tray vs minimize to taskbar. Winamp even had these two different modes in like 1999.
The sad thing is that Mick and most of his supporters have gone out of their way to not attack Chad or to attach blame to him. It’s pretty disappointing that this statement, beyond completely dismissing Mick’s concerns, makes Mick come off as a fraudulent, vexatious accuser who directly harmed Chad.
Sure nothing wrong, but why would you get offended if they call him blood boy man? Doesn’t seem to have any connotations, literally a factual statement (assuming it really is true he uses or used blood boys).
Seasteading predates Thiel and if anything Thiel's embrace disrupted progress. Stop using Thiel as an excuse to smear whatever he touched.
Yeah, it's insane. Marty released a one sided statement publicly. Mick patiently tried to resolve the issue in private for _2 years!_ before resorting to posting a public reply.

Using the "one sided argument" here is extremely disingenuous. To be honest, I don't understand why they replied at all. Doubling down doesn't seem like the right thing to do here.

They should either apologize or just pretend that Mick doesn't exist. Having a public argument doesn't help them at all.
I think the bug in this code is the interface that it exposes. If a listener A removes another listener B during the dispatch of an event, then

- if B was added after A, it will not receive the current event

- if A was added after B, then B has already received the event by the time it is removed.

If I encountered that during a code-review, I would be very suspicious.

The right thing to do here is probably the more simple thing that the AI also seems to be suggesting :

for (const listener of this.listeners) listener(arg);

Are you suggesting Thiel, in 1999, knew for a fact that his $2k worth of Paypal equity, would be worth far more in 2022? In which case, the fair market value of the equity would not have been $2k, and hence Thiel committed fraud?
Judging by the amount of garbage I usually see in the tray for "regular" Windows users, I'm not sure if they actually understand it.

Is there a perfect O/S? I see a lot of complaints about Linux, Windows, and OSX.

I personally use Mac OSX at home and Windows at work. I find both have there own set of issues. For example, I find the Finder app in OSX to be a joke compared to Explorer on Windows.
They could simply warn the company if they thought that would really be a problem. Fining 800k is ridiculous. If they can do this, they can attack anyone with a similar reasoning, which effectively turns GDPR into a weapon.

Yeah, 800k might not be much, but the ideology is the problem here, not the amount.
How discord works is the expected behaviour for many users, including myself. I do not want to minimize the window (keeping it in the task bar), I want to close the window, while keeping the background worker running.

My experience with applications that show a notification/tray icon is that about 80% of them do not shut down when closing the main window. And the ones that don't follow this pattern by default can usually be configured to work this way.

Microsoft has applications which follow the same pattern. For example the Anti-Virus runs in the background and indicates it status via notification/tray icon. Opening or closing the settings window has no effect on its operation.
Do you feel React is overly magical? React was the first of these web frameworks that I was exposed to. I didn't have a ton of vanilla html/css/js experience when I first encountered React, but the fact that each component just returns some HTML is pretty unmagical to me. You could conceivably just use React (or, JSX really) to organize your app code in a pretty comprehensible way.

I guess once you get into all the hooks and contexts and fancier stuff things might start to be a bit magical. But I like it a lot better than Angular, which I agree is very much overly magicked.
You put in my mouth words that I have not said, so I will say more clearly:

1. That attack is useless.

2. Nevertheless, Gimli is relatively new and it is also designed for minimum cost, not for maximum security, so there is a risk that someone else could discover a real attack, a risk that is greater than for older algorithms like AES or Chacha.

3. There exists no practical 100% secure form of cryptography. Any choice of cryptographic algorithms is a compromise between the computational cost for the operations done for protecting data, e.g. encryption/decryption/signing/verifying and the computational cost for an attacker that tries to decrypt or forge the protected data.

4. The compromise must be chosen for each application depending on the implications of a successful attack. Some data is so important that it has to remain secret even 10 or 20 years in the future, other data is ephemeral and it does not matter if an attacker would succeed to decrypt it a week later.

The correct mindset in cryptography, like in any other domain, is to choose the right tool for the job.

If you want to use a $0.50 microcontroller, then you must use simpler cryptographic algorithms that can have an acceptable performance on such low-cost hardware. If you want to use algorithms that are harder to break, then you must accept to pay $5.00 for a more powerful device (at the latter price any decent device would have hardware implementations for standard algorithms like AES and SHA-256, so you would not have reasons to use anything less secure).
You're wrong. Haskell is named after Haskell Brooks Curry. There might be an opportunity for a new functional language named Brooks.
Evaluation order is unspecified in C++, whereas it is well-specified in Rust. This makes things easier to reason about in Rust, but does give the optimizer less wiggle room.

> There's also a component of this missing - empathy is usually somewhat non-intentional - as in you don't choose what signals make you feel.

This line is very difficult to draw because we freely pollute the meaning of empathy as an internal feeling with empathy as an external behaviour. Under this definition of empathy we could be compelled to consider blind people incapable of empathy as they're incapable of recognising facial expressions, for obvious reasons we know better.

> It's not clear to me an autistic person told something would have the same impact. Even in non-autistic people, an experienced narrated/described doesn't usually have the same reaction as one experienced, and I think this is an important part of empathy (in a game-theoretic/evolutionary sense) as something that is not calculated.

The autistic response isn't calculated either, just lacking the facility to recognise some behavioural expressions of emotion. I'm an autistic man but as a child I recall collecting mountains upon mountains of stuffed toys, when they piled high enough to tumble from the bed I'd wake to some of them on the floor and I'd weep at the thought those toys had felt "left out" by being pushed from the bed overnight. (I was very young, cut some slack)

This kind of refrain is common, autistic people when questioned express feeling intense overwhelming affective empathy. Where autistic people classically struggle is in cognitive empathy employed as a social hierarchy mechanism and in socially acceptable expressions of empathy.
Not really but if you are up to it, Julia allows for it.
APL looks like a lot of fun, and I've tried to get into learning it for a while, but it's a shame that the most popular implementation is proprietary, and GNU APL is a dialect which is not as featureful and a separate dialect of APL unto itself, so it's not as though you can write a reasonably sized APL program with Dyalog and then expect it to work in GNU APL.

I have this question which comes up in my mind every time I read about ADHD in tech (here, Twitter, blogs etc), which is really genuine and with no second intentions: my feeling is that ADHD seems over represented in tech, but I don't know if it's because ADHD is more invisible in life outside tech jobs, or because people with AHDH in tech are "louder", or because there is a relationship between ADHD and being good at software engineering, or if it's an American thing (I'm European), or what else?

I know the topic might be delicate, but I would really like to understand better.
EU being able to attack any developer by making up a GDPR excuse and fine them as they want is the problem here.
I’m not saying anyone should go after them. They followed the rules, how do you go after someone who followed the rules?

I’m just saying that it’s still okay to condemn (just as an act of casting judgement) rule following when it’s anti social and the question of what sort of society we would like to live in is the more prescient point to bare in mind.

I put legally in quotes because I think legality is an unsound basis for reasoning about whether something is normatively okay or not okay.
Utterly fascinating really.

Agreed, Ununtu is way worse. Especially when Ubuntu performed a background update, and the NVIDIA GPU stops working properly. It happened several times to me, and a few times the GPU drivers were so hard to update that a reinstall of Ubuntu was quicker/easier.

Maybe that is just corporate language, but the way this is worded („distortion of truth“, „selective presentation“) seems to suggest that the quite detailed post from Gordon is truthful in its key details and Bethesda seems to be claiming that there is additional context that warranted their executive‘s behaviour.
