We saw the tweets (it wasn't just the one) he boosted and agreed with.

You can absolutely be a 'real' and authentic person without promoting that kind of garbage.

I don't think I'm alone in having previously thought he was perhaps a bit eccentric, but involved in some cool stuff. I lost a lot of respect for him though.
My favorite variation is the, "well yes, you did buy seat heaters in your car, the hardware is there, the software is there and you over paid for all of it, including taxes. Now, that'll be $10 per month for us to enable it".

Just because some apps use insecure but highly identifiable DNS lookups doesn’t mean everyone does, or that DNS-over-HTTPS will never be deployed (iOS shipped support in 2020 and Android was only a couple of years later). There’s a 0% chance that anyone smart would say they should rely on that alone and not develop other sources for that information, and intelligence agencies have hired many smart technical people.

I'm not certain how many other researchers would be willing to swap away from PyTorch (or tf or jax) to yet another framework. Amazon pushed MXNet for a while, but the only time I used it was while interning there. From what I understand, advantage here is tight integration with Apple hardware/shared memory?

Your southern neighbor here. PL to me is a rising regional power very similar to Korea only hindered by its geographic location and having to compete in the EU market (lack of applicable mercantilism).

Poles are entrepreneurial and forward thinking nation that will sooner or later become economically as prosperous as WE.

I looked it up when the story broke out, and as far as I could find, it's private shipping companies (FedEx and the like) that are refusing to deliver stuff, not the national public post office. They still get regular mail delivered just fine.
I agree that law isn't enough; it's not the end of the discussion, surely. But I feel it is the trunk that we should branch from.

If the law is ineffectual: the persuasive burden rests on the people saying so, not on the people reading the law as it exists on the books. Strong/weak rule of law could act against either side here.
It's a blog post. The homepage (accessible via clicking the logo on the blog page) does include such a paragraph.

I've seen plenty such projects omitting this on their homepage, but it seems odd to expect it of every deeplink.

Please complain to the UN. I don’t see how you’re doing anything useful here.
It's not up to an individual, it's up to the unions, that's the whole point of them.

This isn't just some random dockworkers, this is Fellesforbundet, Norway's largest private union. Unions are usually democratic, with elected leaders.

The Israel example is absurdly weak, that has nothing to do with working conditions.

Solidarity strikes/actions aren't a new thing, they are well established things that have forced many other multinational companies to treat their Scandinavian workers better. Most of those companies, like McDonald's, eventually concede and start operating profitable ventures with good working conditions here.

The FAQ[1] asks for 6 weeks before an event, so I suppose that's fair. That still seems like poor planning, though -- clearly the event was planned the the presumption that the funding would be approved. What would this open letter have looked like if the ask had been turned down altogether?

IMO the order of operations should be 1) ask for funding, 2) plan the event, not the other way around.

I would think that the money would "go further", and the impact of getting the grant vs. not getting it would be greater, in most of Africa compared to, say, the Bay Area in California. Not the only basis for consideration, but one might think that the PSF should be prioritizing places where, if they give a grant, it makes a large positive impact on the outcome. I'm no expert, but it seems plausible that this might be more often the case in Africa than elsewhere.

You'd love NixOS. It lets you do exactly that.
You are right. Those businesses should simply be managed by the workers themselves. This way we wouldn't need parallel structures and we would still get proper representation for whose who create wealth themselves.
>It sets a scary precedent. They in effect hold disproportionate power and can affect whole sectors of the economy to force whatever they want done

Sweden seems to have low regulation, no minimum wages so is a perfect place for an american company to take advantage, unless the peasants use their rights to strike then the billionaires are demanding regulations. As software developers we should do the same when we are asked to take part on building harfull shit, as an individual we have no power, if I refuse someone else will be paid to do it but as a union we could do some good and reduce the harm int he world.

Tesla is free to use other companies or methods to deliver, create their own delivery companies from scratch , deliver the cars with their rockets. I do not think they can cut off the power but there could be problems finding people fixing their electrical issues if they appear.
I mean, you’re wrong because the only way to implement what you’re suggesting is policing unions.

The whole point of the union system is to be a separate pillar of power to the state to keep it in check.
Ah, I thought they did this to know what people are watching. Yes... see here:

> Alphonso's software uses the same technology that Shazam and similar services employ to automatically detect the song you're listening to. It samples small bits of audio, creating a digital "fingerprint" of it, and comparing it against a a database on their server to identify the show or movie. In fact, Alphonso's CEO says they have a deal with Shazam, and use their specific technology to do this. But this embedded software can even be listening even when your phone's screen is turned off and it's ostensibly idle.
Ok, one last one: global warming is basically that energy imbalance: the Earth is currently absorbing, on average, more energy from the sun than it radiates back, for a variety of reasons (change in atmospheric composition, change in surface reflectivity).

That energy imbalance amounts to 500 TW.

You can still drive from Sweden to Germany and buy a Tesla there, if you care enough about it.

how will actual data not be more informative? you can easily infer what the appointment was because the phone call will mention the name of the doctor or office and you can look that up plus all the details they discuss

you'd still have to look up who the doctor they called is from the metadata; it's still info but absolutely not more informative than the real data

so this line of thought makes no sense, and glenn greenwald should be looked at very skeptically in general, he sounds smart but when you look at his logic closer it breaks down

IIRC, the (mostly insufferable) NNGroup determined the feeling of speeding up when using keyboard shortcuts (vs mousing) was mostly an illusion (at least for WIMP UIs).

And to your point, if keyboard (or whatever) helps gain and maintain flow state, I'd score that a win.

(Further, is a placebo that works, even when you know it's just a placebo, still a placebo? Hmmm.)

Isn't that true in most common languages? Python and Ruby and Java and Go (panics) will all spit out the stacktrace?
Unlikely. It's an agenda the big German industry players pushed since that made workers and unions weaker while making German industry more competitive worldwide and Germany as a country richer.

This serves as an important reminder for the distinction between national wealth and individual wealth, which are not always directly proportional. You can easily make your country wealthier and your people poorer at the same time, which is exactly what Agenda 2010 did.
AFAIK, Java's native HMR is not built on dynamic classloaders, but using a separate technology built into the JVMs debugger support, called HotSwap. You can only replace (certain) function bodies with it. To get around these restrictions, more elaborate HMR can be achieved with classloader magic, such as OSGi, but you subscribe to a world of ClassCastException-pain with it.
Agreed, nothing more annoying than a video where a 10 line web page would suffice. And google - coincidentally, of course - ranks that video much higher than the 10 line webpage.

Very true and let's not forget the DIY Powerwall people are the real recyclers of old batteries. They are also the ones who ae in front of all auction houses that sell batteries of totaled EVs and give them a second life.
I don’t deny that conspire over pr campaigns happens. What I’m saying is that the same thing happens as a side effect of marketing and polling, in the open with no conspiracy involved. Groups are addressed and in doing so group identities are reinforced which eventually leads to conflict and competition between those groups. Social media, one currently hot area of the ad business, is a great example. To increase ad sales platforms like x (formerly Twitter) optimize engagement which on a technical level means making people angry, typically by culture war content. Gansta rap is another example where marketing just sort of organically lead to a genre of deleterious (for society) music that glorified and thereby exacerbated social problems like prostitution and drug sales. No conspiracy needed, just record companies marketing to white suburban teens who desired authentic sounding ghetto-music.

Why try to explain what is going on in a way that is unprovable and sounds slightly unhinged? There are structural reasons that can be proven to exist (e.g. engagement metrics) which explain the phenomenon. Occam’s razor.
>you’re wrong because the only way to implement what you’re suggesting

I'm not suggesting anything.

That doesn't make sense. I would expect Signal notifications to happen completely out-of-band with "normal" push notifications (e.g. NYT news alert). Otherwise that completely defeats the purpose of the service. Basically you're saying Apple/Google are MITM'ing Signal.

They aren’t protesting working Tesla conditions outside their countries. They’re protesting how Tesla treats the workers/unions inside Sweden.
I think many deeply insecure tech bros relate to him so much because they don't realize they themselves are that same sort of insecure. Also, I never said he was only motivated by it, he is just obviously extremely insecure.
German news media clearly say that it's not about DIRECT asking for more money.

In Europe a lot of countries have a system of "Tarifvertrag" ("tarrif contract", but really "collective agreement"). In such contracts the workers union of a section (e.g. metal) do a contract with the business union of the employers. They settle then down to "give 28 days of holidays and x EUR per month to each" ... and then they won't strike. The special thing about this "Tarifvertrag" is now that EVERYBODY benefits from them, union member or not! In Sweden, for example, such general tariffs apply to 90% of the employees. So you can see how normal it's seen there. Anything that fights against this normality is thus seen not favorably (in Denmark it's 80%, in Germany it's much less, just 51%).

Now, Tesla Sweden says that they don't won't to follow such a model, since Eon Musky is, as many US brainwashed business people, is strictly anti-union. Whatever comes from unions is surely coming right from hell :-)

And so in October 130 Tesla employees in various service stations went to strike. Musky didn't bulge. In November 470 employees did strike. Musky still thinking he can work against unions (not with them, like it is custom in Europe, maybe with the exception of France, you can't work with their unions ...). Then workers from other swedish unions said "We don't load/unload for Tesla in Sweden". And now danish and and norwegian workers joined as well.

Currently 12 different unions joined the "make Tesla think a bit more european" strike.
I'm not sure I'd trust dating apps and weaker chat apps not to just be sending the contents of messages to a TLS push notification endpoint that Apple/Google could do whatever with before forwarding on to devices.
What kind of doctor did you go to and what kinds of testing did it take? How long did it take once you figured out what was going on to get to 90% better? My neurologist seems disinterested in finding the root cause. I even had to diagnose myself and then go to several doctors until one agreed. I take migraine meds and they help a lot so far, especially Ubrelvy, but it is $100/pill and I am not sure it will be covered by insurance.

You're right, the US government has zero corruption. haha jokes aside, that's a fair point.

But if you're selling there, you can still manage to avoid a lot of the red tape, bureaucracy, etc. You can be a c-corp and sell there. I'm sure a lot of the US companies that sell there don't have to engage in all that, so why not focus on that market?

"Yes, the threads currently are not usable for number crunching in the background. And yes, there are bugs, and trying to do many things from the background thread doesn't work, sometimes in unexpected ways. You can still block the main thread from the background thread since some things block the event loop, no matter where they were started."

Many dynamic languages have bodged on threading over the past decade. (I don't think dynamic languages are intrinsically unthreadable or anything, but their interpreters were pretty deeply based on not having threads.) What that has shown is that 90%-effective threading is useless, and 99%-effective threading is superficially appealing but always, always blows up at any sort of scale.

You really need threads that don't come with all those caveats.

I expect it will get there, but another thing we've learned from previous efforts is that telling the community it's ready before it's ready causes "$LANGUAGE threading" searches to be filled with posts telling people how bad it is, even years and years after it has actually been fixed. It's probably a blessing in disguise it's not something the community is pervasively trying to use.

I don't think I've ever liked the experience of running Docker commands; I think its benefit is the sandboxed environment so the developer has fewer platform variables they need to worry about. I think flatpak is a more user friendly distribution mechanism. But, again, sandboxing really shouldn't be necessary with a Rust TUI application; there really shouldn't be much in the way of platform-specific code in there except maybe the ncurses library

That this thing should be made more efficient for any of multiple reasons like "boss told me to and I should obey him in this". And you'd just have to find someone arguing technological deployment should be restricted to protect jobs to confirm this is political.

No.

It can be so. You're still making a choice to ignore the situation and that has consequences too.

Yeah.

People truly underestimate the level of incompetence and corruption after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The EE lands were ripe for the taking and WE companies made sure to take everything as fast as possible. It was not even a battle it was just a pure massacre.
