Nazi's were victims as well, at some point and that's the reason they became Nazi's. Germany wasn't great after WW1 and most of their people were being victimized by brutal Russian, European and US sanctions. Hitler ran on the platform that the German people were victims.
My point is that current "HR training" is based on science papers that haven't ever been cited. 90% of "white privilege" and "bias" papers have sub-50 citations, none of them are getting even close to 200 citations.
I don't think there are any scientific fields like math or biology where others will base medical or business practices on papers that haven't been cited at least 1000 times which isn't unheard of for papers in fields like neuroscience.
It is because it means you're producing science that nobody bothers to even build upon. The problem is that sociologists build corporate rules (eg. equality and bias 'training' in HR departments) and laws (eg. in Canada and Europe) surrounding papers that have never been cited and are not logically or scientifically supported.
Not talking about SDK. The Linux kernel source cannot be limited by an NDA, that's explicitly ruled out by the GPL. Qualcomm uses a heavily modified kernel (statically compiled, not a modular approach) and refuses to release the source code altogether which is a violation of the GPL. Tired going through EFF but unless I want to shoulder my own defense or am myself or find an active Linux kernel developer that would be agrieved by this (Linus and most core developers doesn't seem to care about legally defending the kernel), they wouldn't consider my case.
I should have put minority in quotes because how we define minorities is totally arbitrary. Asians are typically considered "white" in these equality metrics. Mixed race people are considered depending on what suits the equality metrics best.
Statistics are clearly showing that minorities and women are greatly over represented in college intakes in comparison to their grades.
Schools are picking lower scoring individuals to satisfy some sort of equality metric; those people consistently fail and drop out resulting in a much more natural end result (diversity among those graduating college once again falls in line with the scoring results).
So efforts to get some sort of outcome-driven equality, fail all the time. Nordic communities likewise found that out, they are amongst the highest scoring in actual equality but classic gender and race patterns are emerging stronger than elsewhere.
Most people in psychology and biology do accept the fact that people are different and are predisposed to certain directions in life - women tend to be caretakers for example and thus score higher in traits associated with that; men tend to be more aggressive and conscientious thus scoring higher paying jobs.
People in sociology and women’s studies don’t believe the science, but then again, most of the papers in their field are virtually never cited.
Samsung also has it's own SoC's (which I think what the parent was trying to say) - the Exynos. They only recently developed a decent modem for it in order to cut out QualComm at some point.
Having done business with QualComm (small electronics developer) I can concur that they're absolutely a horrible company to work with and will happily violate the GPL - they won't give you any Linux source code for "their" SoC reference compilation and then happily point you to the NDA. Oh you want a newer kernel - pay up for a newer chipset because we won't do it on our 2-year old chips.
Fingerprints of any sort (like music/sound recognition algorithm) sure do work with hashes.
They're not reversible nor does an image need to be captured, in fingerprint algorithms we look at a variety of places in the image for ridges, sample a number of ridges and their shapes then do a FFT and match against a database (very simplified).
Incomplete fingerprints make matching difficult (unlike the movies) so you have to sample more or ask the user to try again.
By 10 I walked alone to school and it was a bit further than 2 miles. Streets have only gotten safer since, at 14 he should be able to get his own breakfast and get ready for school; at that point you're just there to monitor his adolescent impulses; I had a job then which I sometimes (illegally) worked till 2am to get extra cash, then walked or biked home.
My family's farmers have a degree in agricultural engineering which is a combination of business, biochemistry, mechanical, electrical, hydro- and geoengineering and a number of other University-level courses.
They don't go out and fix an engine. You're thinking about the small family apple farm. They have two 1910 tractors that they keep running and even modern tractors are available from various sources without any special tech on board.
It's called a service contract, us techies know it as an SLA. This is not about "dad's tractor with a broken axle", those small farm tractors are just as repairable, even more than a regular car.
If you buy one or more multi-million dollar investments and don't have a service contract, you're bound to go bankrupt. Same if you're running a datacenter and have nobody to fix a computer. Now you could argue that these laws would allow for third party service contracts (for good or for bad), but the "poor farmer fixing their tractor with a wrench in the field" is a political picture that has no ground in reality.
Actually few people care about or 'need' the right to repair their stuff. Most people, farmers included, have no idea how their "stuff" works, especially when it comes down to IT. It's better/faster/cheaper to just next-business-day on-site replacement by the manufacturer than hire a technician or engineer that may be able to come this week and then have to wait 3 weeks to order parts.
Farms etc. can't survive if they're "down" for a few days. Entire crops are timed and engineered with markets, weather and reseeding in mind, taking out one of those factories-on-wheels for a week is the same as a tech company not having an Internet connection for a week.
a) How did Texas police KNOW that he went on any specific website (spying on his Internet traffic?) b) How did Texas police KNOW that he asked for a 16yo girl (spying on his computer?) c) How did Texas police KNOW that he visited anyone in Taiwan AND performed a potentially illegal act (spying on his person) d) How did Texas police revoke a FEDERAL passport e) How does Taiwan get to extradite him to the US if he currently has no formal documents that support his nationality
This smells on all sides. If I were Taiwan/China I'd ask some serious questions: why is US local and/or federal law enforcement conducting surveillance against anyone in our country?
Only in the US, not in Taiwan, hence why they didn't keep him in Taiwan. Many/most countries, including the US, allow for 16 year olds to be considered 'adults' under various circumstances. In many states in the US you could marry without court or parental consent at 16 until a few years ago.
Also, having or not having sex with a 16yo is only a legal and cultural construct that is fairly modern; a few hundred years ago, marital ages were commonly in the 12-16 range because many wouldn't even survive until their 18th or 21st birthday.
If what you're saying is true, then kids would still have the same problems, emissions have doubled since the 70's and Ozone doesn't have a lifespan long enough to travel the ocean (O3 is highly reactive and breaks down in a matter of days, much faster than average air currents)
If China would be the problem, we would expect Seattle and parts of Canada and Mexico as well to be much more affected. So the claim that California's problems are "China's fault" is poorly supported. On the other hand, places with less regulation have improved their emission rates much better than CA. Likewise 1970's Democratic-Socialist "model city" Detroit has the same problems, much higher pollution levels now compared to similar cities in the 70s even though they've likewise regulated the crap out of their industry.
My theory is that regulation drives up cost and innovation down leaving less money to replace inefficient processes. Everybody agrees that pollution is bad and we've improved since the 70s, but business people understand that whatever you dump/waste during a process has a cost of money and energy. Thus all emissions are by definition inefficiencies in a process that can be improved ONLY by engineering and innovation NOT by regulation and limitation. Businesses really don't want to pump 50% of their fuel in the atmosphere like they were doing in the 70s. Government's role is to stimulate that innovation and efficiency, not stifle it.
California is one of the most regulated states when it comes to emissions, have an area of the country with the least amount of heavy industry per capita, less cars (due to taxes), much more expensive living (and thus smaller areas to heat/cool, also due to taxes), yet when you look historically, they've been the top violators of CO2 and O3 standards.
Now it seems either, all the regulation is counterproductive to the end goal or it doesn't do anything but cost money and thus energy (money spent = energy spent). People and businesses across the world are slowly changing (you can't just replace 200 years of progress in 15 years) and it seems like less regulation eventually wins out.
If you swear and get angry, you're misogynistic, if you don't agree, you're misogynistic. Women don't swear or get angry and if anyone in the workplace gets angry, all women will quit.
At least that was the plan, now we're going back to Docker because filing a Kubernetes bug report gets you all sorts of grief about your formulations being too male-centric aggressive.
You have discussions like this: https://github.com/kubernetes/... - where hundreds of dev-hours are spent on renaming something because they found "PetSet" to be offensive to animals AND THEY WENT ALONG WITH IT.
You don't see a clear trend in the graph you've provided? Contributions are trending upwards until the CoC is introduced, then they trend downwards until someone quits. I don't think we have enough data to see what the effect on the main contributors quitting is but you can see similar trends in other projects.
I'm not saying LLVM is dead, but as someone else said, there is a huge brain drain BACK to GCC which was the entire reason people jumped onto LLVM.
Same for NodeJS, there too you can see a huge difference, even though the number of contributors has risen, the number of commits goes down. Parts of this has to do that the SJW's split off NodeJS (a fork that is now dead), the leadership thought this was an issue back then, in a panic introduced a CoC which allowed the SJW to persecute another developer, the SJW then split it onto Ayo (now also dead). This drama keeps people from using their free time to do what they want as far as contributions and now they have to deal with leftist politics, it saps people from working on the core projects because either they start working on a fork that doesn't pan out or they just stay away from the drama.
I am a firm believer in free speech. Don't like what someone has to say, then ignore them. Persecutions and witch hunts kill organizations. I've seen it happen locally in various settings too, various clubs are dying because everyone has to introduce 'safe spaces' and falls over each other not to hurt someone's feelings.
But that is the leftist response to everything. Communism didn't work because it was poorly implemented. UBI didn't work because it was poorly implemented.
The point of these CoC is to allow for these political discussions. If you don't want the discussions, don't have a CoC and tell everyone that complains to shut up.

Everyone is a victim. So nobody can be a Nazi?
