First the board allowed the For profit corp to form, and now is firing the guy that did it. Second, they allow a board member to build a competing startup. What kind of AI safty/alignment/save the world crap is that?
Wow, hackernews is a cesspool of self-serving "intellectuals". We're in the middle of a pandemic, which already killed 27 thousands people. And the #1 post is privacy act? Can't you guys admit that you didn't come up with video calling company worth 37 Billion dollars. Maybe it's worth talking the positive impact on Zoom during this crisis.
“This company is doing incredibly shady things and exploiting its sudden boost in popularity, so you guys shouldn’t criticise it, because it’s made soooo much money and you didn’t and it’s therefore above criticism “
That’s how your comment reads.
The fact that it’s worth so much is almost completely irrelevant, and if anything, should mean they have more responsibility to do the right thing.
Not very good to be honest. Nothing about schedulers, bootstrap, and most of it is very general information. it doesn't give actual clear picture how everything comes together, and it is very system specifics (unix). CS should be agnostic to any system architecture. You do cover binary , but the more fundamental question what is the foundation of binary mathematics. It goes back to Turing machine, and how transistors are built and how you compose them into bigger units, and then you talk about CPU architecture, the adder, multiplexer, the PLU, etc.
Aside from the flaws of the article, there are something to be said about how centralized bitcoin has become. Most of the bitcoins are held by centralized exchanges, or "qualified" custodian (locked up in ETF and other exchanges). They essentially act like centralized banks, the exact thing we're trying to avoid. The only saving grace is we can send to native wallet, giving us some freedom from the institutions.
Not sure if anyone saw Dr. Robert Epstein testimony. It was scary to hear that Google not only introduced bias into search that could affect 15M voters, and Facebook could send selective "Go vote" to one voting class or another. I'm encouraged to see that Epstein's team has been building monitoring systems for these scenarios.
