Low level arrestees don't get indicted, generally; indictments aren't required in most states even for felonies (unlike the federal system) and some states have entirely abolished indictment and criminal grand juries, so indictments tend to only happen for federal and a fraction of state felonies, biased toward more major felonies in the states that use the system.

And when someone is accused of minor low-level offenses, prosecutors aren't worried about losing the ability to prosecute potentially multiple major crimes, and to lose access to any restitution and criminal forefeiture actions associated with them, by premature prosecution of lesser included offenses blocking the more major ones under double jeopardy rules.
I struggled mightily with Firefox's tendency (on Ubuntu) to suddenly and (at least until recently without any notice) tell me "Firefox must restart right now, and will make a feeble/futile attempt to restore your pages". Terrible, terrible UX.

Finally, I just uninstalled the snap version and downloaded/installed the .deb manually. So far so good -- I guess some day I might get hit with a security problem or some must-have feature, but at least I don't randomly have to restart Firefox every few weeks without prior notification.
Germany still has plenty of open Nazis for all their efforts at censorship. Something like the infamous march in Charlottesville was breaking news when it happened precisely because it's so unusual, but much larger neo-Nazi marches happen in Germany on a regular basis.

There's nothing wrong with offering incentives to lure top talent. It's the cost of doing business.

At the lowest level things like discount healthcare benefits and 401k matching are the simplest incentives that get paid for by the employer. The cost of doing business and attracting talent.

Microsoft was famous for having stocked break-rooms, unlimited cola and caffeine for programmers who slept in their offices. Googlers get free meals, and Mountain View campus has free rides to/from work. All paid for on company dime.

At the mid-management level you get company cars. Some of these people drive over a 1000 miles a month as part of the job, the wear and tear on their personal car is a burden. So the company offers a car as part of the compensation package. They get to use the car for personal business as well, that's a perk. Should that be taken away?

At the executive level things like company jets become a necessity, simply as a travel time saver. Time is money as they say. They can get more done during the day if they have faster travel and accommodations. I worked for a CTO who on average got around 1,000 emails a day and usually stayed up past 10pm to answer them. He says the thing people don't understand is that when he wakes up in the morning, his mail box is already full as the European division has already been running for several hours. Pressing business to address. And so spending company $$$ on things like jets and helicopters to get more productive free time from your execs is money well spent.

Some companies have formal retreats and where they send team members to "team build". As long as it can be justified, and the company is profitable, and the shareholders are OK with it, then why can't the company spend it's money as it sees fit (within limits of the law of course)?

I agree that the perks and compensation can get egregious. Also, this kind of stuff is ripe for abuse, which is why a company needs good governance. There was no governance at FTX, no corporate controls at all. Which is why the situation was so ugly.

But as far as perks goes, these are great tools to lure talent, and get the most out of them. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

If FTX was profitable, and the shareholders were OK with it, there's nothing wrong with offering paid for housing as a perk (even if it is a bit unorthodox, other than at a casino). If FTX was a con all along, then it was a crime, which changes the equation significantly.
> Bernie Madoff is a notable exception: he was arrested 3 days after his Ponzi was revealed. But it's not comparable at all to SBF's situation: Madoff was arrested after he confessed privately to his own family; his sons immediately went to the police.

Not only did he confess, saying it's "basically a giant Ponzi scheme," he also said that he planned to distribute the remaining $200-$300M in funds to family, friends, and employees in the next week.
+1, I attended a relatively endowment-rich private “top school” (not Harvard) and every other student I knew said “it was by far the cheapest school i was accepted to!”

Everyone I knew from high school that attended private schools, or “good schools” out of state paid out the nose (or their family did). I grew up in a relatively affluent area, so most people didn’t get much aid. My family could afford to pay for my schooling too, but I had one of the lowest bill of anyone, excluding some in-state public schools, because private schools with big endowments heavily subsidize almost all students that aren’t rich foreigners, 1%er kids, GI bill/someone-else-pays attendants.

TLDR: Schools know who can write a blank check, and they set the sticker price based on those students. Everyone else is subsidized.
Either or. People who can't work are just people who won't work.

For people who can't truly work, it's up to charities to support them. The government shouldn't be taking money from working people for it.

Oh no, that sounds like the Chinese Room.
You are of course, correct. I think it’s also an issue of overall scarcity and an enormous population scale for too few seats. It’s easier to scale standardized testing vs assessing the person in totality.

Reality is when I grew up standardized testing made or broke a person, and I couldn’t go to school. I was lucky in that I had always programmed and landed a great job at Netscape. But Netscape was one of the first that hired uneducated engineers in the history of computing. Had I been 5 years older my life would be much different. I later went back to college and graduated highest honors from UIUC CS, but found a side door into the program owing to my standardized testing failures blocking the normal route through. Given my performance above all other students in my class, my standardized test scores had no correlation to my ultimate academic performance.

Now there’s more focus on the total person and that’s both expensive, but I believe leads to overall better academic outcomes by selecting people individually for their ability to excel in the academic environment of the specific school.

But give the sheer scale of the population applying in India assessing each individual is obviously on the surface impractical. This isn’t an inditement of India or it’s people or it’s system. But it’s also a tragedy. The world is sadly full of those.

I would however hold my statement is still true if harsh. While high test scores may indicate an ability to work hard and ambition, low test scores don’t indicate the opposite. I would argue it’s more closely correlated to the ability to acquire funding for tutoring and a family without the need of your time to help the family. To your point my wife is from Southeast Asia and her family was extremely poor, but they had her siblings drop out of school and work to pay for her books and clothes and afford her time to study for the tests, which she passed top of her country. But her siblings paid for it with their future. I’m proud of her, but not of the system. Her siblings aren’t failures per se, they just never got an opportunity.

But if you have applicants >> slots and an inability to scale a more accurate measure, a capricious but difficult criteria works. But I wouldn’t be particularly proud of that.

Finally, I’d note that Asian society often doesn’t have much of a second chance path. My wife’s siblings even if they went back to school and were accepted wouldn’t be able to find jobs because they followed a non traditional path. This is sad, and I wonder how much faster their country would advance if they had a less rigid job path for their people. How many people are disenfranchised because they matured slower, experienced hardships or illness, or weren’t able to afford the costs of education yet? I’ll betcha is a very large number.
I don't quite get how this is expected to work. Does this somehow avoid a management level of this proposed corporation who are going to be trying to maximize profits at the expense of the employees who are ostensibly in a worse bargaining position? At that point, the decision for the worker is only whether they're working directly for the end-exploiters or just the middle-exploiter.

Well then the crux of the issue is that you cannot build a global free speech platform. What is free speech in USA is illegal speech in Germany, China, etc. If you really want a free speech platform, you can only really deploy it in countries that respect the same level of free speech (or greater) as your own. And that's leaving a lot of money on the table for publicly traded companies, hence free speech morals go out the window in favor of growth/region-specific censorship.
> This is the type of speech that Elon believes should be allowed, and I agree.

And yet when the same satire it directed at Musk, he blows a gasket. Jeph Jacques[1] changed his profile picture and name to Musk's and tweeted (paraphrasing) "I like drinking my own piss first thing in the morning" and got permabanned for it. It was clearly satire to me, and broke no laws AFAICT.

For those who are getting their Firefox messed up, the binary from the Mozilla site works just fine and is far more respectful.

I'm using Mate 22.04 LTS. A few settings has to be done to disable updates behind your back, but at least these settings persist, unlike when I was using Snap or whatever it was I managed to install via apt (I think it still eventually reverted to Snap). There was also the issue that the Snap version disables some extensions (sure they are potentially dangerous, but that risk is for me to take).

Now, I just manually update Firefox at convenient times via the Help -> About menu.

The story touches on area codes and long distance and this got me thinking about something I’ve embarrassingly never considered: whenever you quantize something you’re going to end up with weird edge cases.

Are there examples of “my neighbour technically counts as long distance”? Are there special cases where you kind of belong to multiple areas? Or was this all historically very discrete, incorporated entire populated areas, and didn’t pay much mind to rural residents?
You are right, I prefer exactly this - to separate CSS, HTML, and JS/TS.

I know that “smaller components are better”, I agree with this rule, but I prefer to draw the boundaries myself, not forced by the capabilities of my code editor.

It's too grotesk. I think Apple accidentally set everyone off on the "search for the perfect sans font" but neither this nor the new Discord font is anywhere near as nice as San Francisco.

Would you mind reframing what you’re trying to say here (because it doesn’t make much sense in this context)?
My take on this is that this guy is your typical high-performing developer with a huge ego and an attitude that he's untouchable because he's been valued so much at every job he's ever had. He was reckless to release his tool because he never imagined that management would suddenly become so thin-skinned that he'd get fired over something like that. Well, he was wrong about this particular management, and he found out. I haven't tried to find any of his info on social media, but I'd be willing to bet that aside from some public griping about it, he's not feeling like he screwed up big-time. Most likely, he's wearing this as a badge of honor that demonstrates how capricious and short-sighted Elon Musk is to fire a clearly valuable engineer just because that engineer likes to buck authority. The consequences are that now he has a good "why I got fired" story, and he needs to spend a little time and effort finding his next wildly overpaid job. NBD
You can still choose who you follow on Twitter. It seems to be moving back towards that idea, which is good.

It's pretty easy to avoid political bullshit if you are careful with following.

For years Twitter used to make it impossibly hard to switch to just "latest tweets" instead of their awful recommendation feed which include likes/rts of people you don't even follow. No wonder Twitter became such a heated trainwreck when content feeds were no longer opt-in.
Is there any evidence that any economist who has ever lived has ever been able to make sense of the economy in any repeatable way?

It seems to this informed novice that economists more closely resemble leaders of religious sects, each with their own religious texts, belief systems, omens and portents, and ritualistic acts.

You have warring tribes, each as unable to predict or manage as the next, with competing bibles and prophets, utterly and truly convinced that their path is the One True Understanding of god and his plan.

Regardless of their sect, their prognostications seem about as accurate as hallucinogen-induced prophetic vision and their influence seems outsized compared to the accuracy of their foresight.

And it seems that the best course of action regarding the economy and its health would be to pay as much attention to economists as one would Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, or Keith Raniere and just let it get on with itself.
> For instance, as one camper noted, in just one lottery to hike Mount Whitney, more than 16,000 people applied, and only a third got in. Yet everyone paid the $6 registration fee, which means the gross income for that single location is over $100,000.

Wow, it's like those scummy all-pay auction sites you see advertised, where you can buy/win a TV for just $4.29. Incredible that this is allowed.

It sounds like there's still no answer as to whether Booz Allen was paid cash upfront to build the sites, and it is possible that the amount being paid is "fair" in some sense. But if they're making six-figures of profit on one lottery for Mount Whitney, that seems exceedingly unlikely.
Arguably, the large federal government agency that we put lots of tax dollars into shouldn't be basing it's regulation on a map that requires significant donated time and effort, from large amounts of the public, to have any accuracy.

The reality is that this map and effort was purposely done in a stupid and ineffective way as part of an effort by certain (FCC and/or presidential) administrations to say "No we don't need any more regulation, look at this map, america has the best internet".
Wouldn't those open contributions not encourage any implicated Dems to go hard on him, as a measure of self-preservation to prove to the electorate they weren't being bought (whether or not that was the original intention)?

CuDNN is only for Nvidia GPUs, and those machines generally have decent sized disks and decent network connections so no nobody cares about a few GBs of libraries. There are alternatives to using CuDNN with much smaller binary size. Maybe they can match or beat it or maybe not, depending on your model and hardware. But you'll have to do your own work to switch to them, since most people are happy enough with CuDNN for now.

The real problem with deep learning on Nvidia is the Linux driver situation. Ugh. Hopefully one day they will come to their senses.

> Write a short dialogue in the style of a Warhammer 40k Ciaphas Cain novel involving a Tech Adept that refuses to reboot a Microsoft Windows machine in order to be able to delete a file that is, supposedly, "blocked by another process". The tech adept should be insisting that rebooting devices is against the will of their machine spirit and an affront to the Omnissiah.

=====

Sure, here's a short dialogue in the style of a Warhammer 40k Ciaphas Cain novel:

Operator: "Tech Adept, we need you to reboot the machine. The file is blocked by another process and we can't delete it without rebooting."

Tech Adept: "I am a servant of the Omnissiah, and it is not within my power to reboot this machine. To do so would be to defy the will of its machine spirit and risk the wrath of the Omnissiah."

Operator: "But this is an emergency. We need to delete that file right now."

Tech Adept: "The Omnissiah has blessed this machine with sentience, and it is our duty to respect and protect it. I will not reboot the machine and risk offending the Omnissiah. Find another solution, or face the consequences."
Anyone else remember the time, years ago, when someone introduced a new performance feature to TCP, using an otherwise-unused bit in the header. Unfortunately, rolling it out turned into a giant clusterfuck because many routers on the internet interpreted "this bit is unused" as "this bit will always be zero"?

Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean the truck is cold. Sure it'll be less efficient starting off in the morning, but once it gets going it'll warm up quickly. The truck might be 92% efficient at turning electricity into motion, but 8% of 1.7kWh/mile gives you 130W of heat.
