I'm split between "the internet" and "mobile phones". 30 years ago is a couple of years prior to the invention of the World Wide Web and browsers, so that's clearly a huge change that's had a massive impact on a lot of people. Equally though, access to data and comms has been changed immensely by mobile phones for literally everyone on Earth. It's hard to say which has had a bigger impact.

I too have had a catch-all @mydomain for around 10 years and it works beautifully for me. In addition to @mydomain I also have 2 email addresses. My main email that I give directly to places I trust like my bank and the second one I direct all my @mydomain email to. This way I only have to remember 2 email addresses, no matter how many @mydomain email addresses I have created (many hundreds by now).

By default I only ever receive a limited number of emails from any new emailx@mydomain, unless I explicitly go to @mydomain and allow a specific emailx@mydomain to pass that limit.

My only irritation is that some vendors block @mydomain as a valid email address, in which case I use an ancient email address in its place. Needless to say that vendor will never see my main email.

That's interesting, I wonder if Google Maps is different on iOS, where I use it – I find it utterly infuriating. Like most of us I'm plenty tech savvy and have used Google Maps since its inception. Using the latest app is the only time I ever barbarically scream at my phone. It does maddening things like make the "place info" pane (store info, hours, etc.) impossible to get back to if I do something like pan around the map a little (to see what else is near my destination) – so I have to cancel the entire search and start over just to get it back...somehow the obvious action of tapping the goddamn waypoint marker doesn't do it. There's also something that happens when navigation is active that makes the stop/X button completely disappear with no obvious way to get it back; I have to re-discover it every time after yelling at my phone for a minute to shut up/stop navigating. Just thinking about this app pisses me off. There are a dozen other little things. It's so bad.

Reminds me of using loadlin to boostrap linux from DOS because the internal CDROM didn't support boot and I didn't have the external floppy drive, and since DOS would be overwritten it would have required removing the HDD if the installation failed.

>While roughly 1% of the US population is of the South Asian race and national origin, roughly 93%-94% of Infosys’s United States workforce is of the South Asian national origin (primarily Indian)

the argument is screwed in more ways than one. In particular the whole population makeup isn't relevant here. The US IT industry makeup is, and South Asian is [from my casual view] more like 30-40% of it, and while not 93%-94%, it is still much less dramatic of a difference (i.e. 2 out of 3 applicants have to be eliminated using the "culture fit" criteria instead of 19 out of 20).
That would have meant ReiserFS would have continued.
Maps is already garbage. It should never pop up extra information during navigation, it's dangerous. I manually pick routes a lot. Sometimes they're not there fastest.

> Is it?

Yes, from all accounts it's pretty clear that he condoned and even promoted an arsehole culture.

> Were steps not taken to remove the harassers, once the incidents came to light?

Basically, no. Now, years afterwards, a few heads have finally rolled -- but only after it snowballed into a major (international, not just US-national) media scandal. But not back when the incidents first came to light, no.

> How can the CEO watch over every social interaction?

1) By delegating to a HR department with instructions to follow the law. Which instructions they might have had on paper, but obviously not in actual fact, given the real prevailing culture there.

2) So it comes back to, again: By making it clear, in words and example, what the working culture is supposed to be like. So that potential victims can be assured they won't get harrassed, potential harrassers can be assured they won't get away with shit like that, and the HR department can be assured they're supposed to go after the harassers and support the victims, not the other way around.

I don't know, this all feels so obvious I am compelled to question your grounds for asking. Are you really claiming you didn't know this, or couldn't figure it out for yourself? Because even asking the question smells a bit fake; like concern-trolling in support of the culture Kalanick's fostered.

> In BSL, for example, [as I learnt it some time ago, at a basic level] the signs for class and group share the hand movement but use respectively the hand-shapes for C and G; they're compound gestures.

Same in ASL. But I wouldn't call it a compound sign, since it's not combining the COLLECTIVE sign with TOPIC CLASSIFIER:INITIAL C/G IN ENGLISH sign.

Would you consider ASL HURRY as a compound sign, since it uses the H handshape as a mnemonic in it? How about ELEVATOR and its C?

I would consider compound signs to be things like THROAT DOCTOR, PET STORE, SKIRT LONG, where we use two signs with distinct meanings which are easily comprehended in isolation, but when used together communicate a different concept.

> One expects to quickly run out of new sounds (or signs) if you don't compound/combine them atomically.

I can see this with the limited options available in spoken languages: there only a few hundred ways to combining vowel-consonant pairs, but a few thousand ways to combine fingers+limb+facial expression+short movement (although the challenge becomes how to reduce interpretation errors i.e. was that index finger flicking down 3 times or thumb flicking up twice?).

> The US has 11x the population density of Iceland. Easier to have shared wealth when each person in your country can have 11x the land they could have in another country (with the caveat, of course, that this only applies if you are an industrialized nation).

Can you elaborate on this supposed link between population density and shared wealth in developed nations? I don't understand the logical underpinnings of your argument. Developed countries almost by definition are less reliant on local geography.

Moreover, I don't see how space metrics are even relevant here. Iceland may technically have a lot of available "land" - but more than half the country lives in Reykjavik. A similarly lopsided urban / rural population distribution holds true in other Nordic countries.

> "some health care analysts are questioning whether the approach to medical care is valid and viable."

Perhaps just stop trying to figure this out from scratch, look at any of N countries where healthcare is just a solved background issue?

Yes there are issues with people overusing services that don't have an associated cost for usage, and many similar issues.

But every damn country in the world has been adjusting the parameters of healthcare such as per-visit costs, healtcare budgets vs. queue time, expensive treatments vs death-panels etc for usually at least half a century now. These are solved problems.

Their valuation is based upon the assumption that they can maintain market share and raise profitability in those other markets. We all know this isn't going to happen though, so eventually someone is going to eat the valuation hit but the game of musical chairs to decide that question is still being played.
SSE performance is comparable, so is 128-bit AVX. 256-bit AVX is in theory half as fast.

Alright, so slightly different assumptions. You're talking about using CL for just one part of the process which is reasonable if not a little frustrating if one must switch between multiple different technologies.

Binding to GSL was kind of my point. That requires a lot more setup to use the FFI and bind what you need to CL. In Julia I imagine one either does A*b or loads a batteries included library first and then does that. My point being there is a fair amount of overhead to CL to get to that magical development spot :).

I think I've seen that plotting library in the clicki link, but it has a long way to go if you're used to Matplotlib, JS, or what is included in .NET.

The type declarations is another thing that the user would have to research and deal with. In Julia it is just part of what you do, so a bit more natural unless you can declare the types in standard CL without loading a library or something else odd. Can you just (define int(a) 3) and let the compiler guide you? I honestly don't know, but don't recall seeing that in the lisp tutorials and books I've read. My s-exps are probably wrong too lol.

Last year I quit a great full time role to focus on my side project, EmailOctopus (https://emailoctopus.com). Haven't looked back since!

I didn't take the plunge until quite late on, waiting until it was making enough money to comfortably cover my personal expenses. No regrets there - growth was slow in the early days and if I hadn't had the luxury of a monthly pay packet, I probably would have given up before I got the chance to properly validate the business.

Transitioning to full time brought more stress than I expected, but the experience is priceless. In the past few months alone I've learnt more than I did in 3 years of employment.

Realistically, what's the worst case scenario? I'm a reasonably skilled dev in a strong market so there's not much to lose. If it all goes wrong I'll get another job with a load of experience (and stories!) under my belt.

Preponderance of the evidence is the standard that companies should be following because that is the standard that will be followed in any civil suit that follows the company's resolution of the issue, either from the accused or the accuser.

Innocent until proven guilty is the standard for depriving someone of their freedom, not their job. If the harassment rises to the level of sexual assault, it's the standard the prosecutor will use. Otherwise, it's irrelevant in the context of sexual harassment.

'Virtue signaling' is a term that is most often used by people who have a hard time understanding the concept of actual virtuous behavior.
