> Does the full name have to be your legal name?

Pretty much. Only your person has rights, not the fake identities you created. They can actually request a copy of an ID or something comparable to confirm your identity. You might have a hard time removing your data, in some cases, when using fake names since then your identity can't be confirmed.
Isn't contract usually used?

One does not "acquire cancer" or "acquire STDs". Why would one "aquire Malaria"?

You usually aquire cars and houses and companies and a taste for coffee and good things - not Malaria.
I don’t know what your point is, truthfully. If we are to be considerate of our fellow human then in my opinion we should be aware of the medium we communicate on. I think everyone is smart enough to understand that just because I’m in your contacts list doesn’t mean I’m available, especially in a work context where just saying “hi” back removes me from whatever context I was in. Obviously if we are in person it is different.
A government is squandering resources. More at 11.
The author is suggesting that the self-selection effect is a problem for this and similar studies, because they potentially mask the effect they the learning environment has. In fact, the author sounds quite complimentary, calling the program being studied "an impressive, even inspiring initiative to improve the lives of poor inner-city children through charter schools and community programs." This piece is calling for randomized trials, as opposed to observational studies.

>> Yet another Linux distribution is becoming adware.

IBM / RH Salesperson: "But think of the opportunity! GNOME Software could be a REAL app store[0] just like the Apple App Store or Google Play and bring the Linux desktop into the 21st century. We could even call them 'donations' so that users feel good about paying. We will need to have Flatpak integration to allow less technical users to get the software we are moving to community support like LibreOffice. With payment account setup and processing, we could easily add commercial software and offer vendors more customers with minimal effort on their part."

"Once we get telemetry enabled and users setup their online accounts in GNOME Online Accounts[1][2], we can make deals with the online account providers for targeted advertising metrics. We won't show any ads in GNOME for now. But after users are used to seeing some promotions for Red Hat products and services, it is just a slight change to show other promotions."

Most of my dads notes have survived, but certainly not all. One of my grandparents diaries have survived. To my knowledge no writing by the other tree has survived; if it has it has already diffused among siblings two out of three which are dead, with no clear knowledge where any documents might have ended up.

None of my great grandparents or great great grandparents writing survives other than a couple of words written on the handful of photographs and two drawings which have survived, even though I know for a fact that some of them wrote regular letters to family after emigrating the the US.

The written records we have even from a time when people used to write a lot on paper are only a tiny fraction of the records made.

Some families will be lucky and have a lot, some will have nearly nothing, and often when you have a lot it quickly difuses out among descendants to the point that soon many will not have more than small fractions of even what is available about their ancestors, if any. E.g. I only got hold of one of the handful of surviving pictures of one of my great grandfathers because I stumbled on my grandmothers half brothers daughter doing genealogy and found her daughters on Facebook, and she happened to have one picture.

I do agree there's no guarantee about archive.org, and so I'm certainly ambivalent about people putting all their eggs in that basket, but this admonition for all of us to have a website will never reach anyone to start with, and nothing prevents both and/or at least keeping local copies of the site as well.
It will work out to some extent at the beginning, but will encounter the Law of Diminishing Returns, and will saturate and flat out eventually.
I was the disruptive kid in public school (although I'd blame it on excessive and biased attention from teachers and teachers not in control over their egos) and I was indeed kicked out of class and eventually given the ultimatum of be medicated into submission or be expelled.

The next year I was at the private school across the street. Suddenly I wasn't a problem child anymore there.

I had already been taught algebra at home by first grade. I was in the "gifted program" in public school and the curriculum was still boring and slow. Teachers lasered in on my boredom and made my life miserable despite (or perhaps because of) being able to answer anything. I thrived a little more in private school in part because the children were on-average smarter but also because instead of the school treating everyone like they were special and going to save the world (and rewarding only the kids they liked) they taught children the value of group conformity and not being the nail that sticks up.

That sounds like exactly the kind of thing a union could address.

> I wasn't represented by a union in grad school, but all the commenters here who were have pointed out that their unions didn't fight for higher wages.

It's possible that they were fighting for other things considered by most members to be more important. Ultimately though, if a group has a union and they feel that the union isn't representing their interests there are remedies for that. Members can vote to change leadership, or in extreme circumstances dissolve the union and form a new one designed to prevent the problems you had with the old one.

> Thursday’s patch is the product of recent penetration testing work that the Mozilla Foundation funded, Mastodon cofounder and CTO Renaud Chaput told Ars.

Which of course was done because Mozilla is running its own instance at https://mozilla.social

In other words, it's a benefit of many different players running a part of the ecosystem, which grows stronger from sharing the load: Mozilla funded this, but everyone else benefits as well.
Fair enough. The reason I asked is because it seems people throw that word around very loosely now
You're low-key confirming the belief that this whole climate change hysteria is more about reducing the economy and quality of life in the west out of racial hatred than anything else. The men at climate change protests are almost exclusively white when I see them, but facts be damned, huh?

If you had said this about any other race your comment would be flagged right now and you might even lose your job if your employer got wind of it. But as things stand, you'd probably be showered with praise if your employer is a big tech, mainstream media, or academia institution.

There doesn't need to be propaganda when you are up against the monsters that rolled through Grozny and Aleppo.

The Russians are every bit the monsters that most people think they are.

> Just like the Ukraine or the US.

But the Russians lie a lot more. They have pretty much not stopped lying since this "we are not going to invade" war started and even just before it.

I can't imagine a stay at home parent is better than paying for school/socialization.
The advice should be, build stuff that you find interesting. I don’t think prospects and motivational words are sufficient to get you to do things, but curiosity - or even better, child-like curiosity- is a far better lever to help you get things done.

Unfortunately, nowadays, even books bought directly from Springer are print-on-demand (PoD). This isn't so bad for paperbacks, but the hardcovers tend to be glued and have very stiff spines which make the books difficult to keep open (though this has improved of late).

Compare with the older Springer-produced PoD hardcovers that were Smyth-sewn and of very high quality.

All you literally have to do is tell people what you're doing and who has access to the data. It isn't that much more complicated -- its literally just requiring you to communicate, which you should have been doing before.
The difference is that in the case where the condition is false and predicted false the jump variant will not delay if the value being moved into rax is delayed, the cmov variant will. Effectively that value becomes a false dependency.

As best I can tell this case is rare enough that one shouldn't generally be afraid of cmov, and probably compiler authors should consider using it more frequently.

What one shouldn't do is to load values, that are likely in memory or L3, unnecessarily in order to be able to use cmov. It is the case that runs the greatest risk of degrading performance, and it puts extra load on resources that are shared between cores.

Languages at fine granularity and narrative complexes at high granularity. Some people explicitly refer to stories as the most efficient compression mechanisms there is, by a large margin. There is a reason the Hutter prize is what it is. Which, in a supreme irony for the positivist types, rationally entails that folk tales and the Bible (gasp) are the most valuable data there is.
these are the (not so) digital equivalent to what appeared in phone book anyway.

Then, your phone number and emails are in any of your resumes, business card, subscription forms, contact details for any web service... They're not exactly private information anyway

And I'm sure anyone can call your phone number and listen to the message of the voicemail, in which most ppl say their name out loud anyway.
Lastly, isn't your email address firstname.lastname@gmail.com, as for most folks ?

> "If we spend the time to make it do this useful thing, we won't get to that other useful thing until it is no longer as useful as it would be if we did it earlier"

In a discussion regarding process and requirements this type of analysis doesn't always make sense. The team is obligated to follow the process, because someone has determined it's really important. So that's that then.

If you work under process with controls, like in safety critical/security systems, which use "safe" software processes, there may be reasons you are completing this work. Those reasons are often legal, or to reduce blame and liability. They might be anticipating that they will need to supply certain information in the case of a lawsuit, or that they will get in trouble for not having completed all the homework, which includes requirements.

Even taking this out of the picture and purely looking at merits, there's a reasons we gather requirements. Without deciding what something does, how will we prove that it accomplishes these goals? How do we know what a product actually does? It can also be really valuable tool from an ethics standpoint. Having requirements makes it harder to sneak content in. It should be impossible to add content without consideration. This is actually a massive issue, with scandals and fingerpointing, that arguably shouldn't be possible, because we all agreed on how this will work.

There's also some amount of bias built into time management. People are really bad at judging the "usefulness" of something, especially when it requires them to do something they don't like. Why let the developer of an important system decide what makes sense for them, likely based on their own agenda, instead of demanding they decide how everything works, and then prove it?

So we decided you need to do this important thing, you decided you thought it wasn't very "useful", and didn't do it; now someone's dead. How do you explain this? Those decisions you made based on "usefulness" look pretty absurd when you're not following the ISO process, as expected.
Considering how things written decades ago are weaponized to take down people nowadays, strong disagree. I absolutely do not want people to read the stupid things I would have written in my teens.

> Your point is well taken, and if anything that's a significant understatement. This is one of the most significant protests (or nearly civil war) to occur in France since the Revolution.

As someone from Europe who isn't French. It's just another France rioting story. It might be big in France but for the rest of us, it's just looks like another France rioting story which they were doing for the past few months.

It's not just that it's barely registering on Twitter, it's barely registering anywhere because lots of us are just so used to France rioting that it's not really news. It's like mass shootings in the US. I think there was a new one over 4th July holiday period but I am not 100% sure because we're so numb to mass shootings out of the US. They need to do something super wtf like have the police stand outside a classroom while a school shooter is shooting children for us to register.
"Maybe you go to a school in a poor area, or with a lot of violence ... I don’t know enough to say what the best tactics are for these cases, but I have a few theories."

This pretty much says it all right here. The author comes from an incredibly privileged background and clearly believes they are smarter than people who have spent their lives studying education.

How we educate children isn't a perfect system, but educators really are trying to teach important information to all students, including figuring out ways to reach children with very different learning styles, and are stuck balancing what's important with the crap forced on them by legislatures, parents, and (hopefully) well-meaning people like the author.

TL; DR "After years of subsidies, more than a fifth of Norway’s automobile fleet is now battery powered. As a result, gasoline use has fallen by 37% since 2013, according to data from Eurostat...

Though electric cars accounted for 23% of miles driven in Norway in 2022, diesel still accounted for 43% of the distance covered. Heavier trucks, which for technological reasons haven’t seen widespread adoption of electric drive trains, are still predominantly running on diesel, Norwegian Road Federation Director Oyvind Solberg Thorsen said in an interview.

Diesel consumption in Norway is just 10% below its 2015 peak and has yet to show a consistent downtrend, with demand rebounding since 2020, according to data from Statistics Norway. It’s a similar story for aviation."
Ah no I bet it's about Edge losing default status with google docs users as people using google docs would be prompted to install google docs with it chrome. They adopted chrome for edge as they know they could not beat it now they are using the same old playbook Embrace, extend, and extinguish.
When I check per capita for the US(1) and countries in Europe(2) you can see it is droping rapidly. Yes increases in overall gdp is causing overall increases in co2 but we have grounds for optimism.

I really do want to emphasize that we need to do something about the situation. But, my view is more of being in a house with hundreds of dirty dishes with more piling up by the minute. Yes if we did nothing about it the house would fill with rot and insects and we will all die. But, much is already being done and my suspicion/delusion is the amount of effort will only increase as the problem gets worse.

Precisely this. When your output is something like research data, or even just something that generally takes a long human time to complete (hours vs Microseconds) it makes a lot of sense to version and keep outputs, at least on major "versions".

Was thinking about something like that recently — recalling maybe some kind of art piece from a decade or two back?

1) Place a camera + display somewhere in an urban area of the world so that random pedestrians can come and watch the display, will be on camera.

2) Place any number of these identical setups in other areas of the world.

3) Arbitrarily feed the camera from one to the display of another (shuffle every 24 hours?).

I want to add this one line that tattooed itself on to my brain an early age, when I read a book about the screenwriting trade by William Goldman, of Princess Bride fame.

He cited it as the line that likewise instigated an irreversible tectonic shift in his own approach to the craft of writing. It was simply this: the realization that "poetry is compression."

I think this insight has stood up to the rise of technological leverage and may generalize extraordinarily well into some sort of philosophical ground truth, on the suspicion that given the mismatch between the scale of the universe and the two-odd kilogram lump of tissue in our skull, all of human knowledge is essentially an exercise in curated compression.

I used to be scared, but lately I'm starting to change my mind.

I'm not saying it's not an issue, it's just that I'm very optimistic for the (near) future. And most of the scare comes from some very wrong estimates of expert's inability to recognise an S Curve of progress and not a linear one.

I recommend everyone to watch the Brighter series of videos from RethinkX [1]

Especially in episode 5 there's some graphs with every year's estimate of coal use and renewables that are really crazily wrong. I really can't understand how can "experts" be so wrong for tens of years and keep going.

It's already cheaper to install PV & Wind instead of any other fossil fuel alternative. And the price is only going down with scale. Also battery prices are going down so the problem of renewables intermittency will be solved as well.

Also, because of the fact that we need to have more power installed than consumption (because of intermittency) we will have more and more extra power (what Tony Seba from RethinkX calls Superpower or what we hear lately in news that energy price is negative). And with that what we can do is dump that energy into CO2 capture that was not feasible before because it was generating more CO2 with the power it used than what it captured.
