I am aware of these policies. It is not clear to me that they are having the claimed effect.
People who hold this view are mostly employers as far as I'm aware, unless we're conflating having a generally sympathetic view to skilled immigrants with not wanting Americans to learn engineering.
Being someone who just happened into a government job for my first one out of college that holds true in my experience. No good employee stayed in the job more than two years and most only one before they got so sick of the politics and bike shedding.

The government gets good employees it just loses them all very quickly when it fails to compensate them as well as provide them with meaningful work.

He hasn't been arrested yet because of one of the reasons below.:

- It's easier for the government to hunt down $600+ transactions instead of trying to navigate their own obtuse, complicated tax laws - wonder if that's intentional, but that's a tangent that doesn't need to be explored

- SBF donated millions of dollars to DNC causes and (SBF-admitted, which ANYBODY should take with a grain of salt since the guy's a sneaky little liar) to RNC causes. Why would politicians rush or push to prosecute someone who gave or could give them more money in the future?

- SBF has family that's tied to major political movements (I believe his mom runs/works for/with a larger financing arm of the DNC).

- It simply takes a long time for the evidence to be gathered, put on display, and have him sentenced/found guilty.

It is _VERY_ suspicious that most media outlets are being nice and trying to whitewash this into obscurity. The dude "LOST" 1-2 billion dollars.

SBF should be under witness protection, at the very least - if not jailed until trial.

The facetious, compulsively lying tech bro who only says "I'm sorry" after literally stealing investors' money should quite literally be barred from seeing the light of day ever again.

Not sure if SBF decided to run this racket for a self-corrupted version of "citizen justice" against a broken and unfair economic system, but he sure harmed a lot of innocent people in the crossfire if that was the intent.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's able to disappear from the eyes of the public due to the always-corporately-manipulated media conglomerates.
Liars are capable of telling the truth, but that doesn't mean you should assume what they say is true without corroboration.

What I really find interesting here is that PyTorch, a library maintained by Facebook, is winning the marketshare and mindshare due to clean API, whereas Tensorflow, maintained by Google, is losing due to inferior API. In general, Google as a company emphasizes code quality and best practices far more than Facebook. But the story was reversed here.
> Tell me about how many people I know who went to a CISSP bootcamp, passed the test, and walk around not knowing shit? It's the same in a lot of universities too.

So because bootcamps are an insufficient means of testing, standardized testing in general is inadequate? And not just this specific test in particular?

> Training someone to pass a test to get in is not the same as finding the right person to go there.

Only if the test is insufficient. "finding the right person" is just a racist, classist dog whistle from a group of people that feel entitled to the right to discriminate

You want to see a living example of this entitlement? Listen to the audio from the recent Supreme court verbal argument regarding the Harvard case. Specifically the "oboe players" comment. Juxtapose this with the historical racist and antisemitic discrimination and ask yourself whether Harvard should be trusted to "find the right person" in this sort of way

This is a paranoid vision of how China works.

TikTok is a private company that wants to make money. If it could make more money by showing Chinese audiences more trashy content, it absolutely would. And in fact, it does show a great deal of mindless content in China.

However, as is well known, China has recently been trying to regulate children's use of the internet (e.g., time limits on internet gaming). If companies were already willingly doing what the Communist Party wants, the Chinese government wouldn't have to pass these new regulations in the first place. And guess what happens when the government passes these sorts of regulations? Companies immediately start looking for ways to skirt them.

> legally obligated to have dedicated Chinese Communist Party representatives overseeing

No, at least legally, these committees have no oversight role in private companies. Companies with over 50 employees are required to allow a Party committee to organize and meet, but it doesn't have a role in management.

There are far too many grand statements nowadays about how China works, coming from sources that don't actually seem to be very familiar with the country. There is a very strong tendency in the West now to view everything about China through a paranoid lens. The truth is usually much more boring.

In this case, the truth is that Douyin (TikTok in China) has plenty of trashy content, but that there's more government regulation than before.
Of the time I wasted reading most of TFA, I kept thinking "too bad 'Apple' doesn't have an 'S' that the writer could substitute with '$'."

And that’s on top of Apple’s other unethical behavior, like the usurious 15% to 30% tax of every dollar spent on the app store

Argue about the percentage, but to call a reseller's markup "unethical" tells me someone doesn't want to have an intellectually honest conversation. Other examples abound, "never trust a monopolist..." without even the slightest hint of what or how Apple is a monopoly, we're just supposed to take it as a given. Oh, well, I had five minutes to waste.
hetzner/OVH?
Having previously worked at a data team before the pandemic eon which raison'd etre was "saving cost", the reality is it didn't.

We used advanced statistical concept and vended models for other teams/services to consume, but the truth is either it was just really obvious cost solutions that they didn't bother, or it didn't really work all that well (stats model are, unfortunately, prone to many interpretations).

I've since moved on to feature based team where I feel like I'm more on the ground. And recently was able to get rid of lots of cost just by.. looking at them. I remain skeptical of the teams that base itself on statistical models to reduce cost.
“About 89.7 percent of men ages 35 to 44 were working or looking for work as of November, down from 90.9 percent before the pandemic.”
I recently finished a road trip that took me through 7 national parks, and it was interesting seeing the large degree of variation in amenities in various parks, and how that changed the experience.

By far, my favorite experiences were at parks that had minimal amenities, and far fewer people as a result. These places felt wild, and to me, that's how they should feel.

The ones that were equipped with paved walking paths, shuttle systems (looking at you, Zion), and top tier camping amenities (Bryce) were absolutely mobbed with people, making them feel like theme parks.

I'm all for ensuring parks are accessible for more people, and I'm sensitive to the fact that parks need routes that can be accessed via wheelchair, not everyone has physical strength for difficult unpaved paths, etc.

But to your point, the experience at those "Disney-ified" locations felt very...counterintuitive. Combine this with the huge rise in vandalism, rule breaking, and general destruction in many parks, and I can't help but feel that a slightly higher barrier to entry is a good thing.

If it's challenging (but achievable) to visit a location, I feel like there may more inherent respect by the folks who care enough to make sure they're prepared for the experience.

Lowering the bar too far has been detrimental, IMO.

FCC rules are in place because those things you mention are a part of the commons. Publicly-viewable by anyone, and also exclusionary: someone broadcasting on particular airwaves or putting up advertisements takes up physical space that no one else can use.

That's... not the same as a service on the internet, at all.

You're also talking about a completely different regulation regime. The FCC rules prohibit certain (fairly narrow?) things, largely "obscenity". A regulation that requires a company to actively promote certain things is... not even remotely the same.
Can somebody explain to me why this got upvoted so much even though the writer doesn't have a brain?

Booz Allen is not renting us a park, because they don't own it, hence they cannot rent it out. Booz Allen is running a website and we are paying them fees because that's the money they use to run the website. He quotes them as saying as much in the article.

Then he goes on to basically state he has no clue what they were paid to run the website, and yet the entire article claims that the fees are "junk", regardless of the fact that he has no evidence to support this.

Despite this, in the linked article on Booze's website it states: "With more than 45 million users in FY21, the site has generated more than $270 million in revenue for the federal government". Compare that to the 182 Million to be invested in Booze over 10 years (18.2 Million/year averaged).

It's not stated how payment takes place, but Booze's wording suggests that the government did not have to front the capital and instead Booze will recoup it over time, which takes the risk off the government of another $400M boondoggle.

Clearly the government is making more money than it is spending, which is what you want, rather than a botched government job spending $400 Million and having jack shit to show for it. Not only that, but Booze's site was completed in only a year, and was the first major government site made in the cloud. It has continued to expand and has not failed. This is an amazing achievement for government work.

Pay them your fees and stop whining, or we'll end up with the government failing to make a basic website for 10x the amount of taxpayer money. People love to whine when they have to personally pay a fee, but they don't care at all when their taxpayer dollars are flushed down the toilet in the millions to billions. Out of sight, out of mind.
I have to agree with this.

Arm, rather, and many other architectures besides. Even x86 does not guarantee complete I/D cache coherency (although its guarantees are much stronger than arm's).
ChatGPT is cool, but I feel that I get more value out of reading pages linked from Google.

My reasons are what I find important:
- Opening links from multiple sources.
- Knowing who those sources are, and the accuracy/trust associated with each.
- The full context, i.e. the answer, but in a wider article.
- Links to other sources of information in each page.

But ChatGPT doesn't have to check every box. It's a unique way of finding information and getting answers that's useful and entertaining.
It's interesting that it's clearly trying to have the first letter of each line be the next letter in the alphabet, but just casually skips "B". Wonder if maybe it should have been "Big and strong,".
Write a Motion for Extension of Time in the style of Larry David.

Your honor, I humbly come before this esteemed court to request an extension of time. You see, I've been a little preoccupied lately with some personal issues and haven't been able to focus on this case as much as I would have liked. But I assure you, given a little more time, I will be able to put together a top-notch defense for my client.

I know, I know, I'm usually the one arguing against extensions of time. But in this case, I think it's warranted. Besides, as they say, "better late than never." And who knows, maybe with a little more time, we'll uncover some new evidence that will help our case.

So please, your honor, grant me this extension of time. I promise to use it wisely and to the best of my abilities. Thank you.
That entirely depends on compensation.

The Soviets thinking about reversing the flow direction of some big Siberian rivers (from South to North into North to South) might have topped them all, if the project had actually been executed. [1]

Of course, the same Soviets copied the American capitalists's hydro policy, starting with Stalin and continuing with Khrushchev, with the same negative environmental effects. The Volga Hydroelectric Station project [2] was used as an accusation against Khrushchev by some and said accusation was used for its dismissal, supposedly for the project's negative effects, mainly the huge swathes of very productive agricultural lands which got submerged.

Modern-day Egypt has done the same thing with the Aswan Dam.

Well since it is only a text input AI it could only possibly attempt to do the VIQ part of a Weschler style IQ test, since the PIQ part requires understanding image abstractions (arrangements, block design, matrices of sequences etc).

I know there were some deep learning papers on how to train a model to pass the PIQ portion without human-coded heuristics (because, you could easily write a program to solve such questions if you knew ahead of time the format of the questions). I don't remember the outcomes however.

All of that comms stuff has its own logic associated with it that usually lives up there in my experience. In the past, manufacturers have tried to avoid putting much stuff above the headliner beyond roof windows and speakers. It's hot, narrow, and vibrates a lot (especially in the center). Frankly, the antennas are only up there because antenna placement is very expensive magic that doesn't deign to obey the whims of mere "designers".

Things are changing though. Autonomous vehicles need large numbers of sensors up there anyways and you can't keep shoving everything under the cabin.

Really? Maybe my Twitter UI is different than yours because my default home page is now "Latest Tweets" by default.

I never see likes/RTs by people I don't follow anymore.

After years of the homepage being AI-feed only (lists were the only chronological alternative) they finally added a small button in the top right corner to change to chronological aka Latest Tweets by default. Now the default options are "Latest Tweets" and "Retweets". I don't see an option to switch back to the AI feed w/ non-following content?

This happened to my boss, the IT manager at a law firm, when he was fired. Part of his firing was due to complaints by the IT staff, the rest for other reasons. I deactivated his account while he was at lunch, his staff -- three of us, as I remember -- were told to leave for the day, and he was escorted out when he returned from lunch.
He claims many things, but as we have learned, it's best not to believe what he claims.

To add to what u/mikeyouse comment, I tried to limit comparisons to incidents involving financial/wire fraud, since they often require a longer/wider investigative scope, and, unfortunately, seem to have a much-too high standard when it comes to actual prosecution (e.g. 2008 financial crisis)
Well yeah, what do you expect when Congress and the GSA sets pay for pay for developers at levels far below the private sector? I've worked for two different federal agencies in the past, and both were more efficient and lower BS than most private-sector jobs I've worked at. This wasn't IT or development, of course.

It's just taken as a truism that government is always inefficient and bureaucratic, but the average ossified corporation such as Google is wildly inefficient and bureaucratic just the same.

They also aren't necessarily that bad to interact with. I'd much rather go to the DMV than interact with Comcast.

>> It'll be a politically savvy move for the Feds to file something quickly here and then supersede it eventually when the full scope is clear.

That's likely true.

However, it may also be a more savvy move to let SBF and other execs think little is pending in order to gather more information. Other than reputation of the justice system (which already has a justified slow reputation; "The wheels of justice turn slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine."), this might be the greater consideration...

If they don't rapidly indict, it'll be interesting to see if SBF ever voluntarily returns to US territory before an indictment.
That's correct, though federal law enforcement was involved perhaps earlier than that account suggests. Swartz was initially arrested by the MIT Police and a member of the Secret Service. The United States Attorney Office was in touch with JSTOR almost immediately afterwards. (http://docs.jstor.org/summary.html)

I agree with the final comment; I think the DOJ would be well-served by filing something (and that should be pretty tractable, seeing the staggering scope of apparent misdeeds) to extradite SBF as quickly as possible, and then to file amended/superseded charges in the following 12-24 months.
We can't convict them, but we can absolutely ban them from a social media network. The threshold for that is far lower than legal deprivation of liberties.
I believe you are conflating their point. They aren't advocating fining for ethical violations, but fining on the basis of realized damages. If you think both the company and workers are responsible for those damages, it is unethical to disproportionately fine only one side.

If you tax the company, both sides will be affected. The company directly through the fines, but also the workers indirectly as the company pay structure will have to adjust to remain viable. If you only tax the workers, only one side of that equation is affected.
I wonder if they make silencers for wet blankets :p jk
but if you do some data pre-processing or post-processing in python, that would be affected by 3.11 speed improvements... or if you have a pytorch based model integrated into a bigger application as just one of many features, there are still some devs who prefer monoliths over microservices....
