> Though in loco parentis continues to apply to primary and secondary education in the U.S., application of the concept has largely disappeared in higher education. This was not always the case.

> Prior to the 1960s, undergraduates were subject to many restrictions on their private lives. Women were generally subject to curfews as early as 10 pm, and dormitories were sex-segregated. Some universities expelled students—especially female students—who were deemed "morally" undesirable. More importantly, universities saw fit to restrict freedom of speech, on campus, often forbidding organizations out of favor or with different views from speaking, organizing, demonstrating, or otherwise acting on campus. These restrictions were severely criticized by the student movements of the 1960s,[9] and the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley formed partly on account of them, inspiring students elsewhere to step up their opposition.[10]

> something this would worsen.

I'm not so sure this would have a large effect. Employer-provided training tends to be focused on the specific skills that employer requires. People who want to expand their skillset would usually have to change jobs to do it anyway.
Would it then matter if they are a competitor?

It is controlled by Russia.

What is that based on?
It’s very weird that out of 95 comments in this thread (at the time of writing), practically half of them are one person.
Mmmmkay. I see where you're going. But I don't think

> but if you use your free speech to criticize my speech, you're censoring me ("cancel culture") and depriving me of my free speech, so the "second speaker" does not have a right to free speech.

entirely follows; in particular since the hallmark of "cancel culture tends to be communicating with other people to orchestrate action or dissociation of the one of the speakers from society.

It seems much closer to something akin to the practice of industrial blacklisting/secondary striking in employment/labor reltions law. In that you're using speech to command/coordinate a group to force an action or change in circumstance on someone else.

I'm not saying mind, that even those and similar activities don't have a place, but they are examples of "patterns of speech elevated to action", and thereby removed from the arena of "free speech", and firmly plopped in the "freedom of association"/situationally labelled and verboten bucket.

The spirit of free speech is you are free to voice things without the threat of government force gagging you, or compelling you to say otherwise.

Now... Where is the dividing line between the "Government" and "a sufficiently large group of people that there is warranted a stepping in and reminder that "if a government employee eould be specifically restricted from keeping you from saying this then mayhaps as a very large group of citizens it warrants the same consideration of restraint; as we've all got a vested interest in not windi g up on the wrong side of a snowball network effect"... That's an entirely different kettle of fish.
I don’t care about the legal aspect. I care about the authenticity. It isn’t the authors work anymore after it has been changed without their consent. It’s abhorrent.
Out of interest, what makes you frame the two-tier economy like this? I’d always thought of the two tiers as rent-seeking vs firms that must compete, not small legal business vs the rest.

For example you mention some companies paying award rate, but isn’t that a requirement for all companies? Obviously resource companies can afford to pay well above board, but isn’t that simply a function of high returns from rent-seeking activity?
Sorry if I came off as "excited" -- the main thing I'm not clear on is the framing of M x N with respect to parsing.

From my post:

I also claim that parsing is an O(M + N) problem, while types can create O(M × N) problems — and often do.

So the key point is that writing M + N amounts of code is tractable, but M x N is not. This was captured in the linked "Unix vs. Google" video as "coding the perimeter" vs. "coding the area".

This is not to say that SOME people won't be annoyed by writing M + N parsers! :) Or that writing parsers is easy. It's only claiming that it's tractable for global interoperability.

-----

Of course you could be referring to some different M x N issue, with respect to a specific application, but I don't really see it, and I'd claim it isn't the dominant issue with interoperability and POSIX.

To bring it back to the original subject, POSIX addresses the M applications x N hardware platforms issue (and again, the claim is that it's a compromise, not that it's optimal).

Text addresses the M kinds of application data x N operations issue: https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/02/diagrams.html#bytes-fl...

And of course POSIX APIs are text- / byte-oriented, unlike past and future operating systems.

It tames a code explosion and make systems feasible. But yes I definitely agree that we need more structure on top of text. My view is that we need a language with first-class support for serialized tables (TSV/CSV), records/objects (JSON), and documents (HTML/XML).

CSV in particular is very sloppy, and we should take at least as good care of our "languages for data" as we do languages for code (Go, Rust, Python, etc.)

Tar is also very sloppy, just re-read this post today: https://www.cyphar.com/blog/post/20190121-ociv2-images-i-tar
> If Ukraine goes into Transnistria it will not force Russia to capitulate.

A Ukraine invasion of Moldova would result in Ukraine being forced to capitulate by the sudden collapse of all outside support.

I suppose Ukraine supporting a Moldovan effort to push Russia out of Transnistria might be a thing that could happen without that consequence, but it doesn’t seem like something likely to happen while Ukraine is busy fighting Russia over Ukraine.
The etymology is interesting, and even more emphatic:

c. 1300, "sexual intercourse;" mid-14c., "lasciviousness, sinful self-indulgence;" late 14c., "sensual pleasure," from Old French luxurie "debauchery, dissoluteness, lust" (12c., Modern French luxure), from Latin luxuria "excess, extravagant living, profusion; delicacy" (source also of Spanish lujuria, Italian lussuria), from luxus "excess, extravagance; magnificence," probably a figurative use of luxus (adj.) "dislocated," which is related to luctari "wrestle, strain" (see reluctance).

> You seriously need me to explain to you why there ism assive propaganda in US against its peer competitor?

Yes, because you're not convincing anyone you're right. You're convincing people that you're kind of a dick. I have a large body of evidence claiming one thing, and the other side culminates in "just trust me bro". And because you're being such an asshole to both me and other commenters, I find it really hard to trust you, given I don't think you're operating in good faith.

> The very fact that you can't even spell the name of the party, which is Communist Party of China (CPC) correctly says volumes. It's like if I insisted on calling your country ASU.

No, it's not because my primary source of information is "western" explicitly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party which uses CCP, and because I'm on a predominantly "western" message board. I chose to use the more commonly understood initialism. Do you find ad hominem convincing yourself? Personally I find them either insulting, or distracting, and quite often distractions and red herrings are used to stifle conversations and the sharing of ideas. Which seems to be a theme across most of your comments here, you misunderstand a comment, and then bring up distractions from the topic quite a lot.
Beyond the links everyone else posted, I happen to have run across this[0] post on Travel.SE today and found it quite entertaining to read about how people from (some) fraternities / corps are still dueling each other on a regular basis to this day.

In a much more mundane scenario, I treated the company provided clothing as company property and returned it when I left the role. I doubt they cared, but my position was that I didn't care to ever think about it again, so I did the easy thing and stuck it all in the locker.
As a US citizen, this strikes me as hilarious.

I think businesses around here that want to retain employees already make an effort in the form of generous PTO and healthcare policies.

Most don't.
1) If what you say is true, "keto" would be the little switch

2) I didn't lose the weight on keto. I did keto for 7 years and managed to gain 100lbs back while on keto. This fat loss is very recent, and while it's still a ketogenic diet, it really is some magic little switch that I've flicked - I just don't know (yet) which one :)
The 'excess' money was soaked up into asset bubbles not measured by most inflation indexes, or at least under weighted. Which is fine until people sell those assets and spend the money which they have to do eventually.
That can certainly help, but embargoes have prevented some countries that have experienced collapse to get their hands on more stable currencies like Euros or Dollars. For private citizens with no access to international forex markets, crypto can be valuable in such scenarios. Again, it happens so sporadically that it's not worthy of big money investment (certainly is no reason for Bitcoin to be worth $1M or whatever some people forecast)...but does show there is -some- use.
These aren't really beers that have great hop profiles (you are unlikely to find many pilsners or lagers that have strong hop characteristics, as this is outside of style guidelines for those types of beers.

If you're just asking for beer snobs of HN to weigh in on their preferred commercial lager, I would take the unpopular position that budweiser is the best option presented here in terms of quality and consistency, though I would prefer trying a lager that i havent had before, to any of these three.
When you start having a sense of how many cals any amount of exercise burns, no. It's way faster not to ingest them in the first place.
My point is it is also non trivial, using privacy again (a much simpler problem IMO) the US utterly failed here. The EU tried but I don’t think we can call their legislation a success either. Biases are present in every statistical model, the idea the government will magically come up with easily verifiable metrics that need to be met is pure fantasy. (If such metrics are even possible) enforcement of something like that is probably impossible anyway due to IP concerns.
Big does not have to mean slow to stop; you just have bigger brakes (and since they're power, the force doesn't matter).

Once the vehicle::pedestrian mass is high enough, a higher ratio won't change the kinematics much. And how are you thinking that a driver of a big vehicle is more at risk than that of a small one?

And, Einstein has nothing to do with it.
It's voluntary (and, indeed, probably at-will) employment on both sides - if you want to work full-time at two jobs, then find two companies that are OK with it. The problem with non-competes and anti-disparagement is that they bind your behavior after you're no longer employed.
Not sure this is something I’d be bragging about. What happens when you do eventually have a major outage and need to rapidly provide reassurance and tailored support to hundreds of people. Like when Atlassian deleted thousands of JIRA tickets by mistake and seemed completely unprepared to scale up their support.
> It is controlled by Russia.

And Ukraine obviously supports the Moldovan government’s opposition to that condition, but Ukraine isn’t going to unilaterally invade Moldova to fight Russians while its got plenty of Russians in Ukraine to deal with.
I will note even namespaces for package management that don’t use DNS are a big step up over none.

For example in PHP/composer/packagist and node/npm they just have a vendor name that can be reserved.

It makes it very easy to distinguish “this package is from the (trusted vendor name here)” and prevents issues with namesquatting.
The banks are only allowed to loan a certain amount. The department that prints mone6 is the same department that regulates how much can be lent by all banks (in the US), so it is the same type of "creating money" as printing money is. And is accounted for when calculating "how much money is in circulation"
So you're saying science is wrong? Cause I ran the experiment and it failed.

The reason is, of course, that your body can downregulate energy expenditure according to energy intake. I've observed my body downregulate to about 1,000kcal/day. No fat loss on a 1kkcal/day OMAD diet for 2 months straight. No exceptions.

If you get below the bare minimum (say 1kkcal/day for me) your body will start shutting down pretty essential systems like the immune system, you won't be able to concentrate, sleep will be messed up.

Yes, I've done all these experiments, obviously.
How to write correct software. With software eating the world, it might be a good idea that the software eats correctly, without bugs.
Because an NDA can only prevent the disclosure of proprietary information. You can't place general knowledge under an NDA.

For example, let's say a company hires an employee and pays for them to learn how to drive a forklift (or whatever). They can't place "how to drive a forklift" under NDA to prevent that employee from driving a forklift at another company.
Through the use of blockchain technology, our xtrtr™ federated no-code platform can create a more decentralised and equitable extortion industry.
I don't find it particularly convincing that you dismiss int_19h's evidence as mere propaganda, without further elaboration.
I think it is easy to say now, after a year of war, that Russia could not have occupied Ukraine, but I think it is important to understand the prelude to war, 200.000 troops is not enough to occupy a country the size of Ukraine that will fight back, but it is more than enough for a country that would not, Ukraine had almost no army in 2014, and it still seems like yesterday, Russia under Putin has always won military conflicts: Chechnya, Georgia, and the fact that it took Crimea without hardly firing a shot, also the attitude that Russians have toward Ukrainians as sort of stupid cousins who need to be brought home, and after that the fact that Russia has a high level of corruption and Putin chooses his men well, the people he surrounds himself with have survived endless purges and power plays, so I would hardly see them responding (one of the reasons why I think democracies are stronger than public opinion seems to think). These are the reasons why it is clear to me that Russia tried to occupy Kiev and overthrow the government, the plan was not to get to the suburbs and then simply withdraw forces from the area, this is not how you "demilitarize and denazify" a country, the capital also is not far from the Belarusian border, then there is the evidence of int_19h.
Have your thoughts changed since https://idlewords.com/talks/superintelligence.htm or are they still the same?
Sure, if you remove the features which are problematic, the process ceases to be problematic!

But the actual process as described involves an algorithm operated by a third party varying an organization's price, a representative of that company being required to communicate their acceptance or disagreement with reasons to the third party, the staff member with that executive responsibility being encouraged to speak to a representative of the third party, and escalate to unspecified management only in the case a "dispute" is not resolved by that third party.

That's not at all similar to how a regular approval process works with even the most junior staff members, and the idea it applies only to front of house staff is entirely your invention.

Every member of every unlawful cartel ever had senior decision makers who chose to sign up to the cartel and could tell it to bugger off or make the odd exception. That doesn't mean they can't be accused of price fixing in the event they take the decision to delegate day to day pricing to an organization also setting their competitors' prices, or even worse involve them in the review/approval chain for exceptions to those prices.
Yep, I grew up sailing, and learning on a tiny boat is pretty much ideal. It responds quickly, and that helps you get a good feel for things. Then gradually work your way up.

And those big Illinois lakes probably have yacht clubs with regattas, which is where you really learn to sail well. And it's great fun; there's a lot of strategy involved in racing, I'd feel like I was captain of the Enterprise fighting the Klingons.

Can you please name what these specific use cases/'legitimate things' are? I'd take literally 1 example. My experience (full disclosure of priors: I don't think they exist) is that crypto enthusiasts always vaguely reference them, and then when you look at it it's a tiny project used by virtually no one. I am unaware of any mass-market crypto product that's used by say millions of people, but you certainly prove me wrong by naming one or two.

As far as I can tell crypto is a place for speculation, ponzi schemes, and (to be fair) is a mild upgrade in the field of illegal payments. Other than that, there are no legitimate use cases 15 years after its invention. It's just a technological dead end with an unusual amount of hype
Do you have a guess when you’ll be stabilizing around 1.0, perhaps a roadmap?
but isn't it? We've moved a ton of the compute to using the network and I think that makes things a lot slower than they need to be... and a lot less optimized. And along with that, since we have essentially infinite storage we havne't gotten good at trimming the fat... this is yet another thing that steals from our compute.
All I'm saying is Transnistria is de facto a Russian asset.

First they where required to change the OS in a few ways:

“H. Starting at the earlier of the release of Service Pack 1 for Windows XP or 12 months after the submission of this Final Judgment to the Court, Microsoft shall:

1. Allow end users (via a mechanism readily accessible from the desktop or Start menu such as an Add/Remove icon) and OEMs (via standard preinstallation kits) to enable or remove access to each Microsoft Middleware Product or Non-Microsoft Middleware Product by (a) displaying or removing icons, shortcuts, or menu entries on the desktop or Start menu, or anywhere else in a Windows Operating System Product where”

https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/11/28/01-2949...

the only way to achieve the above is to change windows code.

The API issue wasn’t one of code it was one of documentation:

“The proposed settlement required Microsoft to share its application programming interfaces with third-party companies and appoint a panel of three people who would have full access to Microsoft's systems, records, and source code for five years in order to ensure compliance.[28]” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....

It publishing API’s may seem like a strange remedy but it was a common tactic they used to limit competition. Netscape for example couldn’t release Netscape for Windows 95 at release because while the IE tea, had access to API’s they weren’t providing them publicly until release.
In 2005, PyPI didn’t even host packages. It was an index that pointed you to the HTTP-only host that served the distribution. As far as I know, even basic hash checking wasn’t added until a decade later.

I have no opinions about titles, etc. But saying that Python packaging was better in 2005 is incorrect along all axes.
They limited it to make it less likely to go off the rails and declare it's love for you, or tell you to divorce your spouse, etc.

It's interesting to note that the premise of DIARI is "[to] foster the development of new AI systems created by and for Black people in the US and Africa. DAIR will prioritize leadership by members of these communities and create spaces where contributors are able to do this work with psychological safety." which explicitly declares a substantive bias itself. Will this also be amplified?
Ubuntu came to be in a time when RPM-based distros suffered badly from dependency hell. Ubuntu was built on a very reputable and stable Debian base and made it more desktop-friendly by installing certain drivers by default.

For a while Ubuntu was the most likely distribution to have everything or most things work out of the box on many systems.

On top of that, yes, marketing.
