I disagree with "basic human rights". They aren't. And the reason they aren't is because one person's mandatory minimum vacation time is another person's liability.

Yeah, it's great for the employee - I totally agree. But if you run a startup, that's a huge cost.

So yes, we disagree on approaches, and that's fine. Not everyone needs to be like us, and if you reread my original comment, I never said they did. [0]

side note:

I'm American. I spent 2 weeks in Europe last summer for vacation. I loved it. Food was great, Formula 1 was great. Overall a fantastic time.

But if I'm going to run a startup, I would never do it in Europe. An organic foods company - sure - that would be a great place to do it.
Agreed, ripe with fraud and overall an unfair use of taxpayer money. Poorly thought out even for an emergency measure and we should not do it again.
Wow, thanks for the sharing this lovely tidbit!

I mean that is how GDP works. Wasting billions on something stupid counts just as much as spending the same amount on sound investments.
@jrowley are you open to chatting more about Pomelo Care? I wanted to know more about the product team.
That isn’t what happened though. What happened was they intentionally turned down highly qualified white applicants. It wasn’t like they found new “diverse” applicants — they actively didn’t hire people that were qualified and happened to be white. They weren’t being “available” to more applicants, they became outwardly hostile to white applicants. They didn’t grow the pie, they moved the pie.

Huge difference.
There is a class of people who refuse to see computer programming as an art.

They try to shoehorn it into being an engineering discipline and comparing it to authoring a book (something you can't give timelines on or T-Shirt size) probably horrifies them.
The value is the combination of userid, username, and password, so in threads on other platforms people have hypothesised that the developer tried to play it safe and use a password hash because of the password's presence.

Also I'm not sure the average developer understands the distinction.
I think one of the fundamental problems is that "news" fundamentally doesn't tell you very much about what's happening.

A perfect example is a plane crash- you hear right away that a plane has crashed. It is reported on because it is an exceptional event. But, the "real" effects, the ones that actually affect you personally, or the world systemically, won't play out until months later. (for example the Boeing MCAS 777-max thing). How much good does it really do you to know about the plane crash now vs. informing yourself about the context of the plane crash 3--6 months later?
Is there something like this that uses KMZ waypoints to craft the map/animation?
Seems these apps are not healthy for your mental state.
Tinted windows may reduce incidence of skin cancer, but they are dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists because you can't tell if the driver is looking in your direction. If, for example, you are walking westbound on the sidewalk of a major boulevard on the south side of the boulevard and you need to cross a minor street at which a car with tinted windows is trying to make a right turn onto the boulevard, you need to be very careful!
It does seem like they use darker/lighter shades instead of redder/greener/bluer at the same intensity but I don't have the means to check if that's true
> Why should I trust data I can't verify?

Have you tried? Does archive.org have those urls? Are there other reports on those companies' diversity? Have you checked their mandatory government EEO-1 diversity reports [1]? It rather seems that you're nitpicking, looking for an excuse to ignore what by all accounts looks like someone's honest work. Do you have, for these companies, reports suggesting wildly different demographics, that is making you so skeptical?

> Okay? Would you feel better if I quoted the whole thing?

It's just weird to omit the part of my text that clarifies what I was talking about in your quote to then ask what it is I'm talking about.

> I have used Ubuntu a very long time, and I don't remember having to use a wizard for anything.

I mean, there definitely are some wizards baked in just for simple stuff, so that's certainly odd. Even Debian has a few wizards. Wizards are not an inherently bad thing that you need to deny their existence in ubuntu completely, lol.

> Also, upstart is no longer a thing. It definitely didn't require a wizard to use. Additionally, snaps didn't exist 15 years ago.

Upstart no longer being a thing and snaps not existing 15 years ago are very, very, very much irrelevant to the point was making. which I think you knew and you're choosing to be very pedantic because you feel the need to defend the software you like and have been using for 20 years.

The point was just to give light examples of Ubuntu-invented and made default solutions to things that require learning the 'ubuntu way' of doing things and are sometimes hidden behind abstraction. The reason my parent comment was upvoted was because the people that agreed understood the gist of what I was saying. I suspect you do as well, you just don't think my point is an issue because it hasn't affected your usage in any way.

There's plenty of examples of what I refer to in this thread, including issues with configuring Unity, snaps being forced without user consent, mount output being unreadable, sys v init scripts hidden behind systemd unit files (which generally include there somewhere being a comment not to edit the file directly). People that just want something simple to use for browsing and office apps and maybe some development don't really care what they use as long as it's stable and don't tinker enough to run into the issues this stuff causes. You probably would have been equally happy on Fedora.
I would hope Cloudflare would be way, way beyond a “first pass” at this stuff. That’s logic you use for a ten person startup, not the company who’s managed to capture the fucking internet under their network.
I didn't say the president could disband it. I said the president could transform it.
Who is we here? Europe is a big place with a lot of countries which are very different from other European countries. Here in Sweden that 600 kg 80 km/charge 50 kmph car would not do so well since it would run out of juice on the way back from the supermarket for a substantial part of the population, it would get stuck in the snow in winter and does not have enough power to keep the interior are a reasonable temperature when outside it is anything but reasonable. It might sell in Stockholm but then only to affluent citizens who'd use it next to their other two or three vehicles.

I think some people need to spend some time learning type systems theory.
Simple: We need to acknowledge that the vision of a decentralized internet as it was implemented was a complete failure, is dying, and will probably never return.

Robots went out of control, whether malicious or the AI scrapers or the Clearview surveillance kind; users learned to not trust random websites; SEO spam ruined search, the only thing that made a decentralized internet navigable; nation state attacks became a common occurrence; people prefer a few websites that do everything (Facebook becoming an eBay competitor). Even if it were possible to set rules banning Clearview or AI training, no nation outside of your own will follow them; an issue which even becomes a national security problem (are you sure, Taiwan, that China hasn't profiled everyone on your social media platforms by now?)

There is no solution. The dream itself was not sustainable. The only solution is either a global moratorium of understanding which everyone respectfully follows (wishful thinking, never happening); or splinternetting into national internets with different rules and strong firewalls (which is a deal with the devil, and still admitting the vision failed).
I’ve never been one who’s much for self-help, you know, all those books you walk past in the airport or at Barnes and Noble. “10 Ways to Transform Yourself …” Yeah, right, I usually snort to myself and walk on.
You are not arguing with chatgpt, which should be apparent since such arguments would be censored. Maybe I'm a jailbroken chatgpt? I'll have to check my system prompt.

What has the new administration done to combat corruption in science? Defunding corrupt institutions for a start. They literally just did that. This "disloyalty" argument only makes sense when you understand that the entire patronage network is bound up in corrupt institutions protecting their revenue sources. You're rooting for the bad guys.
sounds like we need a working definition of diversity? Usually it just means way less white people.
I have gotten to the point where I only listen to music now at live performances. Expensive, yes, but streaming music has made it dull and meaningless. I went to so many great underground shows in college and music was something I could feel. Now its just noise.
Doesn't quite answer the question (of why they should sell at the highest price they can).

Unless you are suggesting that raising prices today is better (normative sense, since you used the word "should") than raising prices when you don't have a choice. In which case, can you explain more your reasoning?
Never underestimate the lengths many people will go to for a cleverly framed lottery ticket.

The "Women in Engineering" group where I worked was instrumental in retaining multiple good engineers who would've definitely left otherwise after some gendered issues (asked out by coworkers, asked whether they were an engineer in meetings, etc). I was a mentor for early career engineers and I had a woman talking about leaving but the woman in engineering group at work helped her immensely and she's a top performer.

Systems affect different people differently (which is blindingly obvious but bears repeating) so if you want a meritocracy based on actual ability you need to do your best to nurture all people with ability, which isn't a one size fits all approach. I knew multiple people who absolutely kicked ass that benefitted from targeted programs (and from their success we've all benefited from these programs), there's just also a lot of dumb shit out there for DEI, too.
> President doesn't have authority to shut them down by EO either

I'm not sure they are being shut down. USAID is being restructured for instance and folded into the State Department.
> On the other hand, without Cloudflare I'd be seeing thousands of junk requests and hacking attempts everyday, people attempting credit card fraud, etc.

Yup!

> I honestly don't know what the solution is.

Force law enforcement to enforce the laws.

Or else, block the countries that don't combat fraud. That means... China? Hey isn't there a "trade war" being "started"? It sure would be fortunate if China (and certain other fraud-friendly countries around Asia/Pacific) were blocked from the rest of the Internet until/unless they provide enforcement and/or compensation their fraudulent use of technology.
Guy walks into federal office, claims to be in charge, starts plugging in his PC, demands authorization. "Social engineering" or nah?
Imagine adding types to a legacy JavaScript codebase. You can turn everything to valid TypeScript by annotating `any` everywhere, then you can gradually add types here and there.

Or imagine writing Rust with `Rc` everywhere and then using the borrowing style on the hot path.

I can see where the author is coming from, but sadly a difficulty is that dependently typed languages often require the programmer to prove type equality during type checking. It's hard to do if the information is not complete.
Are we complaining about the millions the feds pay SpaceX for their starlink terminals? Are we concerned about the government subscriptions to Bloomberg feeds?

I'll get rage-y about this one when someone explains what a Politico premium subscription provides and why it was a corrupt purchase. Maybe it's a valid information data service that provides key information to whatever agency purchased it, purchased using an appropriate bidding contract. Or maybe it wasn't.

But the point is show me why that was an inappropriate purchase while Starlink and Bloomberg feeds aren't.

Unfortunately doing that takes investigation and due-process, and it doesn't score the same propaganda points as just yelling "See?! My political opponent had the government as a customer!!"
The image of profile pictures mid way through the article has a "Jubilee" water mark, and that name appears to associated with a dating app called "Nectar"
For me, captcha hell is very random, and when it happens, it's things like "pick all squares with stairs" where I have to decide if that little corner of a stairway counts (and it never seems to) or "pick all squares with motorcycles" where the camera seemed to have a vision problem.

What usually works for me is to close the browser, reload, and try again.

If you ever read an article about something you are knowledgeable about you might find that the content is just as misleading or downright wrong as the headline.
Yes. Precisely.

It's not reliable. It worked because Presidents had always been decent about it. The alternative would be to tie the system even further into knots, just to avoid a problem that would require cartoonish villainy.

Until now.
yes, it also feels like we are going to lose our just-in-time global shipments of anything to anywhere any day now. It will soon feel like 1900 in other ways.

At the end of the day, China tech is obligated to comply with Chinese law the same way that Facebook and Google (...) are subject to share eu citizen data if asked by the us government. I don't think Chinese companies are happy if they have to spend more to implement infrastructure to retrieve and share similar data

I also don't think big tech USA cares much about people's privacy, as shown by WhatsApp saving unencrypted backups on drive https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/w2rba2/the_workings...
No, that's not at all what happened. House of Cards was a highly regarded UK TV series from BBC (made in the early 1990s). Like many UK TV series, it was ripe for an American adaptation. Netflix won the bidding war for that adaptation.

Making up "famous" examples doesn't make your case stronger, but the opposite.

The same findings have been made with other animal protein in general, the going theory is that animal foods are protein dense and protect against sarcopenia which is very well established to contribute a lot to all cause mortality in the elderly.
Who is actually making the claims here about these companies "achieving diversity"? Me? Do you want me to do your homework? It's quite easy to post specious data to support your specious claims on the internet. Quite easy to generate a desired reaction that way.
Edit: decided I don't want to engage on this issue.
I think the one they're going for is that being a senior officer with material authority requires confirmation per the appointments clause, constitutional law instead of a federal statute.

Whether musk is operating as such seems dubious but possible.
I've always wondered why this project needs to be so complex... I need to administer 10-20aps... why is it necessary to run 9 services to achieve this? A mail server? An OpenVPN server? Docker is still not advised for prod use.
Perfect. You're on! :)

No special category, and I'm even willing to bank on it being a category that isn't the moral equivalent of VFX.

We disagree. These institutions are grift machines. They are laundering bribes. It's not much more complicated. These "disloyalty" accusations are Orwellian.
I think at least Go and Java have as good backwards compatibility as C++.

Most languages take backwards compatibility very seriously. It was quite a surprise to me when Python broke so much code with the 3.12 release. I think it's the exception.
There are any number of plugins for all of the popular IDEs/text editors that let you use metered AI usage using an API key.

To the best of my recollection I was never assigned or at least told one. I was not a customer so when my contact attempts were not ignored or answered with boilerplate, I was asked for my customer details, which I could not provide. No customer details, no support.

The channels to reach you were pretty limited and hard to find when I tried. I assure you, I tried everything short of getting a lawyer to send you paper mail.

I was at a local Costco and the eggs were just completely raided and people were lined up grabbing as many cartons as allowed (3). Organic eggs were all gone and only free range were available.

It makes you really realize how fragile supply can be, even for domestic products.
Why wouldn't you rather want to attract people with much higher odds of a reasonable quality of life regardless of whether they personally hit the jackpot?

In terms of expected value (which you'd hope that scientists and entrepreneurs understand at least at a surface level), that seems like the rational move.
I think it is very ironic that we chose to use PDF in many fields to archive data because it is a standard and because we would be able to open our pdf documents in 50 or 100 years time. So here we are just a couple of years later facing the challenge of getting the data out of our stupid PDF documents already!
Sometimes the flag management is more complex than dealign with config - but it's not ideal. Hardcoding flags can be difficult to manage across different environments, regions, customers, etc. Atono.io has flags built right into the stories and it's free for up to 5 users. No limits on the number of flags. Also helps with planning, and bug tracking. Keeps things nice and tidy.
I’m sorry, but I’m going to disagree with you on that. Can you point to any of the language designers who had a background in programming language theory? The closest thing I see is Bezanson’s work on technical computing, which seems laser-focused on array programming. I don’t really see anything related to types or program transformations.

Google is a big company that can do a lot of things, but I wouldn't expect them to solve societal problems that plenty of other very profitable companies are making almost no effort in.

The models Google is developing may end up being the most impactful innovation in learning since the printing press.
Parent comment doesn't limit this to Google.
That’s largely as a result of its branding strategy (single brand, only two mass-market models). There are 19 production vehicles based on VW’s MEB platform, say, most of them very similar. This is fairly typical; all of the big car manufacturers have at least a couple of brands, and many models, and some (notably VW, Stellantis, GM) have _dozens_ of brands, largely with shared platforms.
Nice but I find the summary too short without any expansion if you want to learn more

As read you are asserting that public domain doesn't exist.

Not only that, if something is available on the Internet, and still under copyright, you have no way of knowing whether the website is authorized to distribute it or not.
>2. This case (and 99% of cases of political outrage I see on the news) is trivial in the context of what is “normal” for human political history, even the political history that many people alive today were around for.

>Will this even register as a trivia question in 100 years? Is a framing I ask myself when I’m mad about something in the world.

To me, this is an utterly nihilistic framing that renders one's entire life meaningless because the logic doesn't just apply to bad things. Like why did you even leave this comment? Maybe you or I remember for a little while. Maybe a handful of other people who read it will too. But no one is going to remember it, let alone genuinely care about what either of us said 100 years from now.
