That has always been it.
People calling for "meritocracy" almost never stop to discuss HOW merit will be measured. They use flawed measures that are convenient to them. That was Young's point in popularizing the team, to begin with.

Right, because social responsibility does not matter

Part of the issue is treating C and C++ as the same language (or basically the same). Writing memory-safe C++ is trivial with a modern compiler.

Daniel Penny sneaked up behind his victim and choked him to death for minutes while other passengers warned he was killing the man.

Penny's victim never saw him nor did he address him specifically. He did yell "he didn't care" and willing to go back to jail in a car Penny was riding in at the time.

We do have an appetite for socialism, but we as a country will pretty much lose our minds if the "wrong" group benefits. Here is MS investing 3bn to counter the effects of AI in India https://www.techradar.com/pro/... If this investment went to affected groups or communities on US soil, it would create an intense legal and social backlash.

I'm sure his lawyers are very frustrated with him. He has (and continues) to make WPEngine's entire case.
Just look at the judges order, it's filled with his social media comments. https://www.documentcloud.org/...
Then instead of simply complying (this is an injuction, WPE hasn't won anything), he taunts the judge who will be deciding his case. That's moronic to say the least.
Something is clearly going on with him.

I'd love to get some Slashdot coverage of Bluesky's opensource and data roots.
1. Bluesky is a public benefit company (they can legally prioritize keeping their data open over profits)
2. Bluesky is federated (can bridge with other federated systems)
3. Uses the open-source AT protocol

I'm much more excited about these things than the rest of the plafform

I'm surprised I haven't seen posts about Bluesky's opensource goals and roots. 1. Bluesky is a public benefit corporation which has the goal of keeping data open and portable in its charter. The company can defend against a hostile takeover just by showing the buyer would close access to data, etc. 2. Bluesky is federated and uses the AT protocol. https://atproto.com/ It can be bridged with other protocols

Didn't say it was clever (weird take there). My point was that controlling your own storage and using widely compatible cameras allows one to control one's own destiny, as opposed to being held hostage by proprietary "walled cloud" devices.

This is why (well that and overreaching surveillance) why I bought a group of PoE cameras that work with a wide variety of platforms. Store to my local NAS. No ongoing subscription. I won't buy devices that can't be used except with a subscription, or that allow the seller to brick them at will.

No. It's because a now-convicted criminal was one of the largest donors in the election cycle, and the money that very likely swung the outcomes of elections was illegally gained via fraud and ponzi schemes. Seems like something worth getting to the bottom of. I can't imagine anyone not simply trying to protect their own "team" wouldn't want this fully resolved. And I'm not a republican.

Everything he said that i saw was about being more decisive, not working longer hours. In principle, being more decisive should save time, not take more. I'm not predicting specifically how this plays out, but it could be he is trying to maintain work life balance, staff appropriately, make quick decisions, and win. If that's true, I hope he does. For what it's worth, I've worked with people from both Amazon and tesla, and on the balance, it's night and day in terms of culture. Amazon ain't perfect, but a lot better than tesla. I would at least give bezos a chance, because he is a lot better than musk. If those are the two options, and it may be, I know who I want to win.

The CEO in this case is the renowned James Dolan. His main claim to fame is inheriting his father's fortune derived from Cablevision in the 70s and 80s and running businesses badly. He bought the New York Knicks and has made them a laughingstock for 20 years. He also owns Madison Square Garden and other venues and cable properties (again, daddy's money). He is in a "band" in which he essentially gets gigs by controlling the arenas ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...) and seems to have few, if any, actual fans. He is also well known for having his venues use facial recognition to ban his enemies from events, including people critical of him on social media, low-level staffers working at law firms that are involved in litigation with him, etc). https://www.nytimes.com/2022/1... So, in this case, if an executive is claiming abuse by James Dolan, given his resume, I'm tempted to believe it. He is petty as hell and hasn't done anything in my view to distinguish himself as a CEO other than being born to wealthy parents.

Which regulation specifically? It's a reg to have friction brakes, but I'm pretty sure they have not banned brake by wire, or there are a lot of illegal EVs on the road. Take a look at that Bosch link I sent, it's pretty explicit how it works. Also, just think about it - unless there were independent pedals for brake regeneration and friction brake application, how would it work if it were NOT brake by wire?

I would be interested in a citation for that. EVs I'm familiar with tend to brake by wire and have an integrated brake controller that blends regen with friction brakes based on demand from driver, but driver doesnt have direct mechanical control. Example from Bosch below. Given that the vehicle lost brake control and torque control at the same time that the dash lit up like a Christmas tree, my money is on software. That said, this should never happen, and I would consider it a gross failure of engineering principles including functional safety and ISO26262 standards. I would hope this isn't indicative of what we can expect from China-based EVs like SAIC-owned MG. https://www.bosch-mobility.com...
