This always comes across as people wanting to have the cake and eat it. Employers should only care that the work is getting done, but if the work isn't done, then the employee should still be able to go home after 8 hours and get full salary?

What you've just said also says:

1. White people as a whole wish to suppress the speech of black people

2. The speech of anybody else who isn't also white is suppressed

It also presumes, instead of knowing something. Do you know any black people in Italy? Have you heard of any of them complaining that they have no "power to respond"?

EDIT: Case in point; I'm not white, (nearly) all my representatives are white, I don't feel like I have no power to respond. Stop making non-whites victims.
Imagine if Google started charging for POP3 and IMAP access. Either use the official Gmail clients or pay ridiculous client costs.

Sure, there's no inherent right to free third party client access. And you can obviously switch to any service you want, or start your own. The point is that Reddit is taking away features and workflows from users which have been available for longer than most users have been on the service. Moreover, the cost is specifically being put on clients rather than users: you can't pay for Reddit through your favorite client, the client itself is being forced to pay.

If you've been using Gmail with Thunderbird exclusively for the last decade, and Mozilla is suddenly faced with paying a billion dollar API bill or shut down Gmail access, imagine how shitty that situation is for the end user.

Quite the opposite in my household. I gave COVID to my older and younger children and wife. I wouldn't have known, but I went for a COVID test because I was going to do an inspection at an elder care facility's structure. I would have thought they gave it to me if they called me with their positive test days later, so I think the study may not have filtered on this type of occurrence.

>"Access to S3 is zero-rated in many cases with S3, however the real advantage comes when you are using this cross-region."

Or cross-Country... as in two Countries that are geoblocked from one another...

>"This lets you have a worker in us-east-1 communicate with another worker in us-west-1 without having to incur the high bandwidth cost per gigabyte when using Managed NAT Gateway."

Simplified algorithm for bypassing geoblock via the above method:

1) Select a cloud storage provider (could be any cloud storage provider or shared persistent storage platform; doesn't necessarily need to be Amazon/S3) that works or does business in two countries, Country A and Country B, where normal IP traffic is geoblocked between Country A and Country B.

2) Use shared cloud storage objects/buckets/rows (call them whatever you will, "keyed persistent storage discrete thingies" for lack of a better term!) as the article suggests, to emulate IP traffic between user A in Country A and user B in blocked country B...

3) Combined with a P2P or other front end app that knows how to use this method of communication (along with code stubs, such that people could customize it to their own cloud storage provider or platform) if/when normal country-to-country IP communication is blocked for whatever reason (zombie apocalypse? <g>) could make a powerful future P2P communications tool, for lawful purposes...

"Global demand for employee monitoring software increased by 108% in April, and 70% in May 2020 compared with searches carried out the preceding year."

Wait a moment. What was the install base of monitoring software in April/May 2019/2020? We don't know from this article. This article is only referencing an article https://www.zdnet.com/article/employee-surveillance-software... referencing another article https://www.top10vpn.com/research/covid-employee-surveillanc... that was only monitoring internet searches.

I would like to propose that in this situation searching for monitoring software in no way equates to utilizing monitoring software.

The author of this article seems uninfomed about the "neurodiversity movement" - As someone who is neurodivergent, I am an advocate for awareness surrounding neurodiversity etc. and I've never heard someone say that another person is a "eugenicist" or "neo nazi" for wanting a cure. While I'm sure this has happened (and probably still does happen), it's almost certainly a minority of people. Casting a net and saying that everyone in the "neurodiversity movement" does this is untrue (as is the case for all generalizations).

Yes. Sorry for the low brow comment, but fuck unity. I really dislike the fact that if someone wants to become a gamedev in 2023, their only practical options are to write everything themselves, learn unity, or learn unreal engine. I’ve been putting together an alternative. https://github.com/shawwn/noh

It’s frankly amazing to work with a production grade engine that compiles in three minutes. I wouldn’t trade it for all the complexity in unity, regardless of how many extra copies I’d sell. But I realize I’m in the minority.

I think it matters to love the tech stack you use, and gamedev has gone out of fashion mostly because no one loves any of the stacks. They deal with them, which is different.
My understanding is that Florida did about average if you adjust by age (lots of elderly people there). Couple that with keeping the economy much more open and schools shutting down a lot less (if at all?), it makes it a lot better than average. That's the argument.

With that in mind, I can't find a link to back up the claim about age-adjusted death rate ranking. I thought I saw one before. I found this one that goes by year:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/covid19_mortality_...

Looks like they did badly in 2021 and well in 2020. Ideally I'd want to look across all years, since that's the "when it's all said and done" question.

I think French uses repetitions in a different way. I mean, it's attained the status of just a word particle in its own right in French, but Est ce que c'est - Est ce que ce est - "is it that it is" seems like a repetition embedded deep in a part of the language. Are the circumstances such that the circumstances are...

And then qu'est-ce que c'est takes it to another level - what is this, that this is?

It's fair to the extent that anyone can drop out and have the remaining workers pay for their livelihood. As more people do this, the more rational it becomes, and the closer to economic collapse we get.
As best we understand once the supply chain issues with the parts that the 2W relies on are resolved that too will be similarly available.

You're in the right ballpark. NB: I work(ed) on AWS Docs, shipped docs for AWS Device Farm and AppSync in a past role. (these statements are my opinion and experience. I won't speak for the whole company)

It's a mixture of politics and fatigue.

The vast majority of the Markdown content in these repos isn't the source that AWS Docs works from. Internally, it's a separate content authoring language that is XML-based called ZonBook (though that gets hidden in all but the PDF metadata) that gets run through an XSLT transform. A single user guide can require 4..5 git repos to build.

This means that for any non-trivial change, there is a ton of legwork to re-implement that change in XML, rather than markdown. For some changes, this can be made worse by the ergonomics of the system being less than ideal, and that's for a user guide alone. The process for any sort of API documentation fix is a totally different one built using a different set of tools that have a completely separate build pipeline.

Compile times for some documentation packages can be in the hours. I won't speak for the whole team, but sometimes this just gets grating. The compilation time for one book I worked on was into the two and a half hours for the Markdown output, which was incomplete.

The cause of that incompleteness is that there's a lot of features of ZonBook that don't map to Markdown: XML entities are constantly abused to in lieu of templates and to keep branding correct (for instance, after the [AWS brand in China](https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-banned-from-using-aws-lo...) was muddled about, it wasn't as much of a pain in the long run), but also the lack of support for nested paragraphs in tables and arbitrary styling in Markdown puts a bit of a damper on some of the things that writers had been given.

This all culminates in a general lack of interest in moving away to something Markdown derived since there are so many things that don't map to markdown at all that would need to be added for these features to make sense, and lots of these features are essential to the way the docs are managed at a meta level.

I won't get into the general feeling that Legal doesn't trust GitHub (being owned by the largest competitor, there's a lot of speculation about that -- internally there's a "hold Microsoft at knifepoint" sort of opinions that seep out from the edges) and would rather not interact with it at all.

They key to Mastodon is hashtags. Ensure your posts have relevant hashtags and people who are following hashtags will see them even if they're not following your account. This way, people who are interested in your post will be more likely to like, boost or comment.

Alternatively, follow hashtags that you are interested in. I follow dozens of hashtags but only follow a few accounts of people that I know I want to see all their posts.

> Yes, I guess so! I'm not sure what changed, but I doubt that would ever have happened a few decades ago.

I'd say what changed is that a lot of people started realizing the power of speech is asymmetric. It's far easier to spout bullshit than to disprove it, so debunking only works if there's very few people spouting bullshit.

And the internet made this a lot worse, because one person can invest a trivial amount of time in spreading misinformation and never caring about anything afterwards, while anybody trying to counteract it must invest enormous amounts of time to do so effectively.

> You might have argued about the practical limits of free speech (shouting fire in a theater, Potter Stewart's obscenity test, etc.) but you would never hear someone say that free speech itself was less than an unalloyed good to society, if not the foundation for it.

Well, I think that's one of the big ones. Almost everyone already recognizes that speech must have limits to it (eg, defamation, inciting panic). Therefore saying it's an "unalloyed good" is nothing more than a nice sounding fiction.

This is not like say, being against killing people because we can actually have a society where legitimately nobody has to die for any reason. We can just put them in prison forever instead.

Free speech I suspect is a value most people hold as a means to an end. Meaning you hold it not because free speech itself is desirable, but because we believe that it has desirable outcomes. This makes it easy to reject if we ever end up living in a world at odds with what we like.

Do a mental experiment, imagine living in a place where every time somebody opens their mouth it raises your blood pressure. Whether because of politics, or threats to your life/your loved ones, any reason you like. How long would it remain being an "unalloyed good" in your eyes?
Just got done listening to the podcast version of this. It reminded me about how many venues like Quora are full of people asking why it is so hard to find an engineer to implement their amazing idea. This theme has been in place for decades in software. It fundamentally misapprehends how progress happens - the job of thinking of the new ideas is an almost trivial part of it, it's the implementation that makes things go. It's the old "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" quote. We've been in a rut for a few decades where we focus on talking about things rather than doing things, and we aren't going to get our mojo back until we flip that and start focusing on doing things.

Even in places where AI has potential, the potential is entirely in pointing out something that someone has to DO.
The US has a population of ~330 million. Iceland has a population of ~390,000. Iceland is 102k km², but only about a quarter of that is habitable due to glaciers, mountains, and nature reserved. It's comparable in size to Vermont or Massachusetts.

17k people migrated to Iceland last year, or about 4.3% of the total population.

The United States 200k is about 0.06% of the population.

Have you been to Iceland? There's loads of non-Icelandic people living there. About 16.3% of the entire country's population[1], and in some areas it's close to 30%.[2]

The highest number of immigrants in the US are in CA, where it's ~23%,[3], and the country average is about 14%.[4] Although this number is no doubt higher in some cities like SF and LA. But as a country, Iceland has roughly the same or more immigrants than the US.

> don’t see this as a risk for leaking that data in the later output of the model.

Outputs often repeat the inputs (in fact, this is one of the behaviors that reinforcement appears to intentionally increase).

So: You provide a secret. Raters prefer outputs with repeat your secret. Model becomes more likely to say the secret thing, even when its not in the prompt.
Sure, there would be no shortage of applicants, and they'd all largely fall foul of the Douglas Adams rule about those who seek power. But they need not just people who'd put their hand up and do the moderation, but wouldn't drive all the users away (whether immediately or long term), which would be the hard part.
Your reply comes right out of ECON 101, and is broadly speaking correct. Still, you've missed the point.

Let's use your example, Microsoft. Companies have different incentives than communities or countries, but I think we can make this work.

For many years, Microsoft only sold software, and let others who were experts in hardware make the hardware and install microsoft on it. Later, they realised that it was strategically important to manufacture their own consumer hardware, and now you have the Surface lineup. Maybe in the near future, they will decide they need to start manufacturing their own chips. If they do that, it's not going to be cheap, especially in the short term. In fact, Microsoft might never be able to produce chips more cheaply than Intel. But they still could choose to do it in-house (or just buy Intel) if the alternative is to lose their dominant position in the market.
It’s the New York Times opinion columns that it calls far left (which I’d call accurate), while it considers the news articles to be just left of center.
I own a b2b news company. It's not big, but in the sector it operates it's fairly influential. We never really bothered much with social media. We've recently been doing a more there, and treating it as a content destination, not a promo channel. That works quite well.

I don't use a lot of social media personally, but I do use instagram for entertainment, and I very rarely click links or click out of instagram. When people post saying "link in bio" I don't click. When people tell stories and deliver good content within instagram I stay, and I engage. I don't think I'm unusual in that.

I think a lot of media organisations still use social media as something to drive traffic, rather than regarding it as a content destination in its own right.
