Some people are hungry all the time regardless, so it doesn’t matter that much whether you’re hungry after you ate healthy unprocessed foods, or hungry after you ate sugary junk food.

I do think there’s a difference, though, between processed and unprocessed foods. My guess is that your body can extract more of the calories from highly processed foods than it can from unprocessed foods, or that extracting the calories from unprocessed foods takes more work, burning calories in itself.

This is a daft argument and you know it.
It covers all basic electronics.
I question your assertion that companies are looking to select ethical employees. In fact, I would argue they are looking to select unethical employees who know the game well enough to play along for the appearance of ethics (see: expectation of lying in a job interview)

Given the choice between someone who will have ethics and someone who will make money unethically, companies will choose the latter every time. And the people who are willing to be unethical to get ahead are the ones who get rewarded internally once hired.
GDPR is not about consent or data being collected. If it were, the EU would not penalize violators based on a (largely irrelevant) PERCENTAGE OF GLOBAL REVENUE for a breach.

I'm an external auditor. The GDPR is a cash grab.

Regulations that actually incentivize organizations toward stronger privacy and protection practices are designed more like HIPAA or PCI where the MAGNITUDE OF THE BREACH is the primary factor determining the monetary fines imposed (e.g.,number of records exposed, was it PII, PHI, etc.).

Taking 4% of the company's annual revenue from the previous year, irrespective of the size of the breach, results in a regulation about as effective as clicking those cookie consent boxes. "Oh thank goodness I gave my consent, I think now we can all rest easy that our data is being handled securely and appropriately!" No, the EU included the ticky tacky consent requirement to create major global visibility about itself so that when a company doing business with the EU has a breach, they won't be surprised when they then get an additional bill from the EU for not only having the breach, but now being in violation of the GDPR too.

The GDPR is a despicable joke. And my use of 'the' gives me the right to that opinion. If anyone else out there was involved in GDPR's creation or implementation, I think you would agree:

GDPR owns the Greatest Dung Pile Record, Grandma's Dildo Paste Replenisher, the Gagging Damaged Penis Rectum and one Gigabyte of Dick Punch Radiation in addition to €2.83 billion (as of 12/2022) collected from breached companies in 1,401 cases for "violating the GDPR".

Bytecode is presumably chosen to minimize the program length, while the RISC-V is at the opposite end of verbosity for representing a program.

You may be one of those who believe that RISC-V is a high-quality ISA, but this is not an universal opinion and it is a belief that is typically shared only by those who have been exposed to few or no other ISAs.

In the context of something like ACPI, I would be worried by the use of something like the RISC-V ISA, because this is an ISA very inappropriate for writing safe programs. Even something as trivial as checking for integer overflow is extremely complicated in comparison with any truly high-quality ISA.

> Is that necessary?

Yes, it is.

First, you can't expect everyone on the team to have all context on everything. That would be an incredible waste of everyone's time. Second, even if everyone did, in most cases the individuals would disagree on priority -- someone needs to be the final arbiter.

In practice, few people will make the "best decisions". They will often rationalize what they want. A leader needs to be there to "check" those decisions.

Casual sneaking in of "non-human" here, when a powerful human would fit just as well.

Your issue is that there often isn't a basis for anything at all except "seems to work". That's why we have the joke about the 5-year-old who keeps asking "why", exasperating its parents.

One thing that distinguishes me from my obese family is a lifetime of for the most part getting the doctor recommended amount of exercise.

Regardless of how many calories I burn with exercise, I am also training my metabolism.

My metabolism includes feelings of hunger and satiation, as well as cravings for particular foods. It is plenty capable of going out of whack for all kinds of reasons, but my best tool for bringing my metabolism back to a healthy place is a spate of vigorous exercise, and I've relied on that.

If my metabolism were conditioned to be in an unhealthy place over a long period of time then I would have an uphill battle ahead of me to correct it, and I believe many people are stuck in such a situation.

One observation is a growing class divide between the fat and the fit that saw a sharp uptick over the pandemic. Our culture unfortunately is very poor at accommodating healthy activity and getting poorer. Conversely, the national parks the last 2 years summers were mobbed with people who found healthier lifestyle practices during their downtime and were out to challenge themselves.

Are those doing those things as legally mandated acts, or merely as illegal acts (some of which were eventually uncovered)?

Because illegal abuse will probably always exist - some humans will treat others like craps, illegally. People still understand that those things are wrong.

The act of putting actual perpetrators with a class of much less physically strong victims into the same confined space, however, points to specific mindset where doing wrong is thought as doing right, and not just by one or more wicked persons, but also with state power to support it.

> Profit doesnt matter anymore.

Until it does.

Also, Google etc clearly are profitable. Insanely profitable. The question is... how? I think people are right to question whether the majority of the employees are engaged in work which ensures this profitability. But that's not the same as saying there's no profit.

It's all built on an edifice of advertising, which feels like a bit of a sandcastle to me. But I am also of the .com generation that saw the whole beach wash out into the ocean once already, and never understood how the advertising thing actually ended up yielding profits, and was initially quite pessimistic about the Google IPO (though was happy to take money from them by working there for a decade).

I've seen the CPMs and the CPCs from the inside. I don't get it. I worked on ad servers and in realtime ad bidding. But I still don't understand why ads make money.
I think the word "reversible" here is being stretched a bit. There is a significant difference between being able to list every name that has used your service and being able to check if a particular name has used your service. (Of course these can be effectively the same in cases where you can list all possible inputs such as hashed IPv4 addresses.)

That doesn't mean that hashing is enough for pure anonymity, but used properly hashes are definitely a step above something fully reversible (like encryption with a common key).

I appreciate it, but long-lived branches aren't the problem here.

Let's say you're working on dev, you add two commits, and now you want to merge these to main.

Most people don't know that GitHub has no PR merge method that simply allows you to copy those two commits onto main.

It's literally impossible for you to use GitHub PRs to simply have dev become main.

Here's why:

If you use a merge commit, it will create a merge commit ("The pull request is merged using the --no-ff option.") So dev isn't becoming main; main is becoming something new.

If you use squash and merge, it will rewrite your two commits into a single commit. But you wanted two commits or you would have already done one commit in dev. Again, dev isn't becoming main; main is becoming something new.

If you use rebase and merge, it should then copy your two commits onto main, but in fact, it rewrites them with new commit hashes, it's not a copy. Then, you need to rebase dev back onto main because main is now something new.

"What does this mean for the IETF and W3C?

First, the IETF and W3C need to coordinate more closely with other regulators – especially national regulators who have their sights set on taming particular aspects of the Internet.

Second, this view reinforces the notion that regulation by technical standards bodies has very specific sources of legitimacy – the technical expertise that it embodies, and the demonstrated success of its output.

Third, the polycentric and fragmented nature of the regulatory space suggests that it’s entirely appropriate for architectural regulators like SDOs to focus on areas where their tools are most effective."

Here, the second point is problematic because W3C has largely lost its legitimacy due to a regulatory capture by you-know-who.

The UK government website team is great which makes it all the more painful that they are not making public service websites like NHS websites better.

I mean, this is predicated on so many out-of-touch aspects it seems like it is written by someone in a bubble or on the far reaches of an antisocial spectrum.

1) not everyone needs or wants to live in SV

2) there are plenty of people who manage to “survive” on a home worth less than $2M-$3M

3) public schools are a thing

4) not everyone views the primary goal of a relationship as a transaction for a certain quality of life. “For richer or poorer” and all of that.

It reads like those op-eds during hard times when relatively well-off people lament about how the economy is battering them too, because after the Lexus payments, and private school, and SAT prep courses, they are forced to scale back on things like their annual Aspen vacation. That can all be very true, but also completely disjointed from the experience of most people that it lands flat.

As another posted said, the precedent from pumping out oil and natural gas gives us clear evidence there is some chance of earthquakes. This comes from the evening news, at least in my area.

High school physics tells us that hydrogen is a much less energy dense fuel than is oil or natural gas, so more will need to be pumped out to yield the same net energy.

Common sense tell us if you pump more stuff out from underground there will be more sbsidance of the ground.
Of course if you have multiple severs or may reboot you need to store the salt somewhere. If you are going to bother storing the salt and cleaning it up after the day is over it may be just as easy to clean the hashes at the end of the day (and keep the total count) which is equivalent. This should work unless you want to keep individual counts around for something like seeing distribution of requests per IP or similar. But in that case you could just replace the hashes with random values at the end of the day to fully anonymize them since you no longer need to increment then.

Ah there it is. Thank you. You did almost well. But I think you kinda forgot your point halfway through.. is this a context size thing? Because, you seem to want to make a maneuver here where you want to 1. mirror a tone, and 2. say something about "PhD Students" and their bad faith. But, because of (1) both you and the gp have now also become PhD students, which really ends up confusing your overall conceit here (but congrats on your degree, I know its a tough road).

But, got it: "colonialism" is just a word that gets people riled up, like gp, and so the comment it just mocking tech people who talk about colonialism. Its not making any claims about what they say necessarily, just that they are saying it.

Thank you! Good luck meaningfully encoding information today ;)
NHS.uk is brilliant, but yes, individual GPs (and I think the different NHS regional bodies, whatever they’re called), are a hodgepodge.
You’re manufacturing a false dichotomy here. There’s no contradiction between founders being compassionate and calm (in the sense of level-headed) and also being passionate and innovative. In those small companies where I worked, the work was anything but tedious, and there was no lack of risk. But exponential growth wasn’t the goal, making good products in a sustainable fashion was the goal.
