Scientific consensus on climate change is pretty well defined. Is anyone saying that messages that contradict them are correct sometimes and so Twitter is wrong in this action? Corps have been abusing capital to amplify their speech intentionally misleading public on this subject regardless of its harm. This imho is the right move.

There is a Twitter satire account that said something I thought was subtly profound:
If you ever wondered what you would have done to stop Hitler, you're doing it now.
Is that aimed at Germany/Europe for bankrolling Russia via energy purchases or the common man?

I work on this team! (Specifically: applied deep learning research, chip design).
It's a shame to see so many people dismissing this work as marketing. I see lots of clever people working hard on really novel and interesting stuff, and I really do think that ML has real potential to customize a design much more "deeply" than traditional automation tools.
Any word on how the accuracy/quality of final results compare to traditional flows? Are process variations handled differently (with regards to training or modelling) compared to IR? I assume traditional vendors (CDNS/SNPS/MENT) all have (or working on) AI driven tools as well. How do they compare?
I am very pro-union, but I feel like a part of situation you are describing is because we needs businesses. We don’t necessarily need unions. Without unions, businesses would still be here. Without businesses, where would the unions be?
Edit: I would like to reiterate that I am pro-union. I am just saying that unions are optional, but businesses (or the government as some have pointed out) are more necessary from the standpoint you don’t usually form a union and then start a business. I like unions, but they are technically optional and I think that fact is what leads to people being more critical of them. When businesses/government sucks, there’s kind of a “well that’s how it is I guess.” When a union sucks, there’s a “why even do this then?”
The are police and other public sector unions. The point of unions is to protect labor interests. Unions can exist as long as labor does.

Wonder how China feels about Amazon growing as a vital link to markets globally or atleast to the US.
I want this to take off. I'm tired of having to follow trends because people suddenly think there's a new shinyshinytrendy thing around: IRC to ICQ to MSN to Skype to Google Talk to Facebook Messenger to Whatsapp to Signal.
Pidgin is good (I also miss the ancient Trillian, even though it was closed source), but limited to a local device.
There are XMPP Transports as well for these (see https://git.eta.st/eta/whatsxmpp , https://gitlab.com/nicocool84/spectrum2_signald , but sadly https://spectrum.im/ is surprisingly finicky to set up.)
EDIT: for encryption fans, I've been wondering for a long time now: why would you trust ANY 3rd party with your so sensitive data instead of running your own service? Are you not aware of OMEMO for XMPP? (See https://omemo.top/ )
I dont have a PhD in crypography and am not sure I will do a good enough job in covering even potential mid-level vulnerabilities. I still care about privacy and so use Signal.
"The move comes after a Seoul court said Netflix should "reasonably" give something in return to the internet service provider for network usage"
Any additional info on why the courts said so?
Except that by this point, all this is expected behaviour.
If companies don't want to be complicit in these crimes, they need to extricate themselves from the country and cut all ties.
If they do want to put profit ahead of everything else, then whatever, but you don't get to defend them as doing the right thing for their employees. They're enabling the whole situation.
[Edit to bring in a sister question] "Why don't Apple pull out of China then?" - because they put profit and cheap manufacturing ahead of their morals. And apparently we don't care enough that China effected a genocide while we watched.
Some of Americas closest allies are authoritarian regimes. Why would anyone expect profit moticated companies like Google or Apple to have higher moral standards than the elected representative US goverment where it operates from itself?
This is hard to get on board with. A theory of time is incomplete without a history of clocks? Have I misunderstood?
