They actually just recently released a sequel to Human Resource Machine called "7 Billion Humans". Builds on the gameplay but adds parallelism

It's not because Google is doing a bad job, it's because Apple is doing a _great_ job.

Apple's framing of iOS as a luxury brand is why the "blue vs. green bubbles" type of sentiment has real impact within younger social circles.

There is absolutely a market impact
None of this analysis accounts for leveling.

If women are disproportionately hired at lower levels, pay equity will still be _very_ off, even if the data says otherwise on the surface-level.

Ex: Woman w/ 4 years experience hired at T3. Man w/ 4 years experience hired at T4. Both are "in range" of their median comp per level, but the man is being paid more for his expertise.

Literally the second sentence: "Its members locate flaws in software, privately report them to the manufacturers, and give them 90 days to resolve the problem before publicly disclosing it."

Privately disclosed to Apple, 90 days later they published. Simple as that.

I use PIA. No problems so far.
It's not _just_ JS though...
> My naive reading of this is that Google is saying we need to rethink processors themselves if we want to fix this (and we really do want to fix it). Am I reading it correctly?

That's the gist of it, yeah.

Literally, yes.

No, but you shouldn't even be able to become a billionaire in the first place. That capital should be reinvested into society, not held by an individual.

It's starting. Cloudflare just announced this, and AWS is adding ARM-based server options. https://blog.cloudflare.com/porting-our-software-to-arm64/

IIRC this is pretty much the mission of glitch.com - democratizing web presence and giving the power to create back to regular people.
This makes it no less impressive, IMO
Re:Everyone is totally just winging it, all the time (2014) on Sunday November 25, 2018 @09:50PM (#18530663)
I like to imagine that someday, somehow this HN thread will be referenced in an article somewhere. The irony would be satisfying.
Sure, but that's not the point. What the piece actually presents is a (quite interesting) illustration of how the far-right online community kicked off a specific talking point and spread it widely within just a few days.
Seems pretty clear to me:

"When I’m out looking for food, and I come across a restaurant where the patrons are laughing and smiling and appear very sociable, I become wary. Don’t get me wrong. Having fun is a fine ambition, but it’s not the same thing as eating good food."

But really, it's an opinion. If you don't agree, move on.

To be fair, this is pretty clearly an opinion piece filled with anecdotes. I'm not sure how much the data would help.

FYI: After you set up a profile it lets you customize your footer with arbitrary HTML/CSS/JS. It's definitely not secure.

Yeah, I think more than anything this highlights the extent that media outlets seized on and amplified the outrage.

Nano as well.
Why on earth would you think Google would sell its most valuable asset? Google does not sell user data, it builds on it. The more data they get, the better and better their AI will develop.

Looking back, when they announced they were going to become an AI-first company these sort of drastic data-grabs and privacy issues should have been apparent. But hindsight is 20/20...

I would if you had an Android version.

The poor education systems out there are to blame, IMO.

Yeah, you're the only one.
RaiBlocks is looking pretty good with its zero fees and sub-minute transaction times

Cost of living / housing prices, available space for new buildings, tax incentives, etc, etc.
