I'd argue 100% ethically positive; it's the sprinkling of unnecessary devices by companies that's the negative.
the checklist without intelligence is almost useless or generates too much noise. That's however those companies are able to profit. Generate a checklist, hire a undergrad to fill the checklists, organize it with a nice report, full of data, which mostly are noise, and ask a bunch of money, which is exactly the topic. Consultancies know less than they claim, because they are sending junior people with checklists to audit your company.
It’s difficult to argue CCP rule hasn’t been a blessing for most Chinese citizens. There are major blemishes, and signs point to Xi having taken advantage of the popular complacency. But Beijing has delivered on its mandate to date. I’m a China hawk, and I can recognise that.

> C++, which is what Rust seemingly is designed to replace. It doesn't, as far as I can tell.

You can't replace C++:

1. Well-functioning, mission-critical systems that were made in C++ aren't being replaced.

2. Anything GPU and ML-related is still better solved in Python/C++.

3. Anything that depends on scalable, high-performance data structures, C++ still has a better selection.

What "replace C++" can mean is: There are use-cases where Rust and C++ overlap where the Rust story is maturing, and you can pick Rust in those cases instead of C++ if you're not already invested in C++. But either if you have existing C++ code that works well, or you have deep C++ knowledge, or you are in one of the categories where Rust is not on par yet, there's still no competition.
Since I didn't see anyone link the original article that Bing pulled the information from, here it is https://tsam.net/what-is-the-population-of-mars/. This editor responsible for this piece on TSAM pretty well only posts these kind of nonsense articles (https://tsam.net/how-cold-is-ice/, https://tsam.net/crocodile-underwater/). It is funny that Bing grabbed one of his nonsense articles, but my guess is that the editor is purposefully prompting the AI to produce nonsense, which doesn't really say much about the factuality of AI.

We need a way to encourage innovation and patents do work for that. The issue is not patent per see, the issue is the US patent office.

There is next to zero proper due diligence done for a patent to be awarded and there is no consequence to the office for issuing invalid patents. Just significantly raising examination fees, getting the patent office on the hook for issuance of invalid patents and fining companies filling for frivolous patents would solve most if not all of the current issues.

I leave investigating why it's not done as an exercise to the reader.

The point is that not only is the timing woefully insensitive, but the duration, locale, and purported reason ("digital detox") serve to painfully highlight the inequality between the CEO and the people he just made unemployed.

I don't know the specific demographics of the 7k that were laid off from Salesforce, but the chances are fairly good that some portion of those will end up homeless or near to it due to the loss of income before they can land another job. Those chances are highest for those who are already in the worst shape (particularly those with chronic illnesses or some form of disability).

But the CEO is "mourning" these people so hard that he has to go on a (guesstimating) five-figure vacation to the tropics...?
The actual history proves my point though.
Who is 'people'? They're not the same set, not all of cancer research is looking at people currently 'dying from cancer', nor are there going to be enough from different demographies declaring 'I am concerned about dying from cancer more than my privacy' and volunteering their data. And even if there were, that trait itself is probably skewing your data and not necessarily generalisable to people not (so particularly) concerned about 'dying from cancer'.

People seem obligated to contort themselves into new displays of productivity every business cycle. Is being just a person with a job who works for money not acceptable? Must everyone have a "passion" for selling ads on the internet, making slight optimizations to existing workflows, selling products to strangers?

Disappointing! Thanks for the reply.
This is not really news - these people just didn't get licensed. There probably never will be any more licensed operators in the UK because the FCA is creating increasingly onerous requirements. In America every week there are unlicensed money transmitter prosecutions including for crypto ATMs, Paxful traders, Hawaladars (and their Chinese equivalents), etc. You have to fill out a form on the FINCEN website, get a lawyer to give you a template compliance manual, and depending on your state do the same thing there. Not really a big deal.
It's a shame the chance of an honest discussion around this was precluded by Twitter. That being said, I definitely agree with the recentism argument presented against it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Recentism#Suggestion...

In 10 years, the "Twitter files" will be a footnote in the history of politics, like an SNL bit on Sean Spicer. We learned nothing, and the whole thing was pretty obviously an excuse to whip up media controversy. I like giving Musk the benefit of the doubt, but even I'm not stupid enough to buy into this as a benevolent press release.

Snowden leaked actually horrifying stuff. The Twitter Files is more-or-less reframing fundamental facts of online content distribution for the masses in an attempt to make them mad.

How would that work? Threaten to go on strike if they're replaced? Tesla would likely tell them to go ahead and just implement the automation. Seems like the only way this works is if there is a much larger union for all employees and the union wants to protect these jobs as part of keeping itself as large as possible.
I appreciate there is an arguably good intention here -- but nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING, good can come from this. This doesn't work, it never has, and is nearly solely for the purpose of overreach and control.
The guy just said earlier that he managed to do a full refactor in very little time and had super few bugs in production. I think that's a prime example how you gain very big productivity boosts using elm.

I've used typescript and elm, the ridiculous amount of time that we spend fixing bugs in typescript dwarf the benefits of having a bigger ecosystem.

Elm was the first time I could release something and say that it was done. I had built an app in elm for 4 months behind closed doors and then went live and everything worked with the only bug being in an interop to JS (2 lines of code, I fixed it in less than an hour). It meant that I could continue developing new features as requests came in without stopping to fix things. In return, also meant I could easily predict how long time takes to make. The benefits you get are massive. The cost you pay is that you do things properly.

After that project, it had been a while since I had used Typescript, and so I wanted to give that a try again, thinking that it's basically elm if you are strict about the typing. I fired up a new react project, added some tests using react-testing-library which passed, typing passed and then I booted the app and it crashed. Later on I needed to plot a graph and imported a library for it. I followed the instructions and no graph showed up. This would never happen in elm, if it compiles it pretty much always works. Typescript offers nowhere near the same experience and I lost so much productivity trying to debug the earlier issues.

These outcomes are pretty extreme and therefore I think pretty unlikely. I think it's useful to consider but maybe harmful to expect them and prepare only for such events. One thing I also think is very important, maybe most important of all in regards to what you bring up, is to invest not only in things but to invest in people.

Build a community of people around you that you can depend on and who can depend on you, a mutual aid network. Strong relationships are what's needed when state/societal or bureaucratically demanded relationships break down. But in a less extreme setting, like if you lose your job or have a tragedy or catastrophe in your life/community, having strong support among friends can be the difference between getting back on your feet or ending up homeless or otherwise worse off.
"Strategy" makes clear sense for humans. A group of people could think some problem through and adopt a strategy to solve it. For any other life we know of, it quickly stops being meaningful. We may sometimes say that cats or dogs or chimpanzees adopt strategies, because we often like to talk about them as agents. But as we move towards less complex/intelligent forms of life, it quickly becomes clear that we're only ever dealing with biased dice throws.

Point being, I wouldn't worry too much about "having a strategy" vs. "natural selection selecting for". It's only ever the latter - perhaps with exception of humans, but that's up to philosophers to figure out.
Yep. This is always how it goes. Definitely one of my "I can't believe we still have to do this" politics things.

When I look at Clojure code, it just looks like noise, all the forms look the same. For example, a let and a doseq at first glance might look almost identical in terms of their "shape." In something like Java, a for-loop "looks" like a for-loop, there's nothing else in the language that looks quite like it. If I see a series of chained lambdas, there's an extremely high chance I'm looking at a stream, etc. The syntax helps me here by adding more obvious visual markers.

The argument I'd make in favor of Clojure and s-epxs is that, when you write good functional code that composes lots of small functions, it can literally read just like English. If foo and bar do baz else qux. But bad Clojure code doesn't have this property to me, it just looks like a lot of noise.
One important thing Rust and Haskell have in similar is the nearly complete absence of an endeavour to unify things. As more fancy type system features get added, both languages become quite complex, thus increasing the learning curve and compiler complexity.

This is quite aptly expressed by the recent paper on dependent types [1]:

> Previous versions of Haskell, based on System Fω , had a simple kind system with a few kinds (, → * and so on). Unfortunately, this was insufficient for kind polymorphism. Thus, recent versions of Haskell were extended to support kind polymorphism, which required extending the core language as well. Indeed, System FC↑ [30] was proposed to support, among other things, kind polymorphism. However, System FC↑ separates expressions into terms, types and kinds, which complicates both the implementation and future extensions.

Later in the paper, they show how some of the most recent "fancy" features of Haskell can be achieved in a more economic framework based on first-class types. Unfortunately, systems programming (as in C/C++) puts strict constraints on a programming language, and currently it's not quite clear what's the best way to integrate dependent types with systems programming. In the coming years, I expect to see some forms of castrated dependent types tuned for systems programming (e.g., types dependent only on indices).

>your value to the company also decreases with inflation

Management capitalizes on the difference between the value that is created and how much you're paid. (according to yet another liberal perspective that I don't like).
So why would they increase your wage, if other companies are doing layoffs ?

>then salary should be renegotiated.

Yes, but from your perspective, the perspective of unions (or from a Trotskyist perspective where workers create value and collectively decide to share it). Not HR's

I had the "opportunity" to graduate in times when more layoffs were happening than nowadays (covid). And I can tell you how these companies that still hired were accepting the cheapest applicants, instead of sharing the value they would create (I was even hired bellow the minimum wage, because the local government was promoting contracts of 'apprenticeships' as a loophole to not pay engineers who were desperate for a first experience)

I can also tell you how fast I changed jobs and had a dirac of better pay, despite a continuously increasing productivity, just because the job market changed overnight.

So HR doesn't care about your value. They check your market value, and what you would bring to the company for that market value (the difference being their loss or their profits)

They don't pay you because they like you, nor because they like engineering. They need their work to be done, in an efficient and reasonably cheap manner ! (and they would happily pay you a minimum wage or bellow, if that were your market value)

Again, spherical cow !
- "On Sunday, the EPA released a list, written by Norfolk Southern, of the toxic chemicals that were in the derailed cars. In addition to vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate, it mentions ethylhexyl acrylate, which can cause headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems in people exposed to it; as well as isobutylene, which can make people dizzy and drowsy."

This is anodyne phrasing that omits the lede, which is that this information was not previously disclosed. This expanded "list of toxic chemicals" was not public prior to Sunday.

Here's ABC's reporting by way of comparison: "There were more toxic chemicals on train that derailed in Ohio than originally reported, data shows"

https://abcnews.go.com/US/toxic-chemicals-train-derailed-ohi...

(Another notable diff is that ABC describes ethylhexyl acrylate as a "carcinogen", linking to a CDC page as a cite. NPR's exposition reads differently: "ethylhexyl acrylate, which can cause headaches, nausea, and respiratory problems in people exposed to it;").
