Like, half of OP's blog post is about how Google specifically is not most of the companies you've worked for. Your advice would be useful virtually anywhere else, and were the subject anywhere else I would likely agree. However, in this specific case, "Look kids, this is just how the business world works" is poor advice and treats industry as homogeneous, despite your statement to the contrary.

Google's insanely profitable market position allows them to be wronger for longer on many things, ranging from server design to management practices. There was a time in which Larry Page fired all project managers, and I've seen no accounts saying 'This was a triumph -- huge success.' So if the rest of society has converged on a solution where management should be in charge of level promotions, this doesn't mean Google has adopted this (likely efficient) method.

Which is the point of this article: a warning to those that would fill his empty seat, that social norms, rules and processes are vastly different than you expect, and may persist despite not working in anyone's favor.
In 1996, Feeney and a partner sold their stakes in DFS to the French luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH). Miller opposed the sale, and before a presumptive lawsuit could reveal that Feeney's stake was owned not in fact by him but by The Atlantic Philanthropies

While I absolutely agree with you, that setup would have been untenable. I had an ATT line hanging about 6 feet off the ground(in Louisville, pole neighborhood). Took ATT multiple calls and visits, a total process of about a month, to adjust that one line on one pole. Now imagine a citywide rollout.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the obesity epidemic is not because folk are stuffing more kale down their gullets.

5+ years ago it was very noticeable to me, going from the UK to the US, that almost all shop bought food was bigger and sweeter. From breakfast cereal to drinks to bread.

I've also noticed that this trend is fairy pervasive here too. You have to go out of your way to find a burger that's not in a brioche bun, for example. I can't comment on whether we've caught up with the States as I now can't eat most breakfast cereals or drink most soft drinks (including mass market beers) because they're too sweet.
Organic just means that that the pesticides and fertilizers are organic as opposed to inorganic. So while a nonorganic farm will fertilize with a mixture of nitrogen/phosphorus/potassium compounds (scary-sounding "chemicals"), an organic farm will fertilize with organic (previously/currently living) material that contains high levels of those chemicals.

I would entertain an argument that Google Fiber hasn't actually helped society very much but I have a hard time buying that it's been harmful... At worst, it's driven the other players in the regions it's in to offer more bandwidth for less money. At best, it headed off rising a trend of ISPs deceiving the public about what was possible in an effort to suppress speeds and tightly meter bandwidth...

Of course. At that point though, it would be unusual enough [for a soldier to serve actively in 1902 and in 1945] that when interpreting conflicting points in a story, that you have to consider if perhaps the author hasn't gotten something mixed up in the memory or in the telling.

If I told a story about my own grandfather's service in World War II in the Seabees (by happenstance he was also a coal miner as a civilian), I'd be likely to get something wrong, not out of intention to mislead, but just that I pieced together the story in my own memories in a certain way when I was told the stories as a young boy. I may mix in details from my other grandfather's service or a great-grandfather's time.

Then, weigh that against a non-native speaker's chance to use a common English idiom "in the late 80s" in a non-standard way and against the chance that someone would express some negative interpretation of someone passing in their late 80s as being perhaps related to radiation exposure and black lung.

It's all speculation for all of us except one. ;)

While this is definitely a clusterfuck, I also think it's worthwhile to ask why commuting to Manhattan doubles one's salary. Does the same work really have 3X the value when performed across a river?

The super-concentration of wealth and opportunity in a tiny number of very small locales is the real problem. I have a sense that it's gotten a lot worse over the last 1-2 decades, though I'd be curious to see real numbers.

Even if we do build a new tunnel here it still remains a very small single point of failure. If Manhattan is US Economy HQ then a hurricane, engineering failure, or terrorist attack could destroy the economy of the entire country. Wouldn't it be better and more "antifragile" to geographically diversify?

Why can't we do this? Why is this so hard?

Interviewing as a Software Engineer at Niche
Okay, this is a real problem.

That said, I think there's some tendency here to view security as binary: secure or not secure. In fact, SMS 2FA is far more secure than single-factor authentication with only a password for most users. I generate strong, unique passwords[1] for every site and store them in a password manager[2], so I have fairly strong guarantees that my passwords aren't likely to be broken. But how many users do this? I'd guess that the average user still makes at least one of the following mistakes:

1. Using the same password for their social media account, their bank, and Joe's totally-not-a-password-collection-scheme website.

2. A password containing a combination of names, birthdays, favorite quotes, or something similar which is easily broken through social engineering.

3. Short passwords with low entropy that are easy to brute force.

4. Back up authentication methods such as security questions or personal information which are basically passwords, but unchangeable and used by many sites (best friend in high school, mother's maiden name, SSN).

Passwords, as they are used by average people, are extremely, extremely insecure, and the fact that SMS 2FA is insecure for completely different reasons means that the combination of the two provides a real improvement in security over simply continuing to use single factor auth methods.

I'm not saying that we should keep rolling out SMS 2FA as if it's the best solution. But if a company rolls out SMS as a second authentication factor in addition to passwords, we should at least thank them for improving security before asking for better secondary factors. If all we do when we see SMS 2FA is complain to the company without recognizing that SMS 2FA is better than what was there previously, it sends the wrong message: that security-conscious consumers will never be happy and it's not worth catering to them.

Infrastructure as Pseudocode (IAPC)
Hi all,

I'm starting initiative in my current company to build the deployment and infrastructure framework for our engineering team so each engineering team can independently create, manage, and handle the infrastructure, configuration, and provision stuff.

At the first time, I'm trying to go with IAC (like ansible, terraform, puppet, etc) approach, but just wonder is there any better way for engineering team to be more knowledgeable about infrastructure, maybe with writing instead by code but pseduocode? Like Gherkin so even beginner can understand that and then we can convert this IAPC to IAC. Anyone has experience with this IAPC stuff?

I'll bet that could be one of the easier sells in the long run. A full rack of servers? Not sure that will be the most pragmatic investment. The ability to weld stuff that breaks in the future? Seems like a solid investment, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had other uses in mind already.

Sure, the trigger isn't some major value-add project, but if it builds a practical skill and makes other practical repairs/upgrades possible, I'd bet you could convince most people pretty easily.

The escalation was a bit unexpected, though, and definitely made me laugh.

Sea salt does contain some natural iodine as well as other minerals. Seafood is also rich in iodine. Iodine deficiency is rife in areas of the world with no access to seafood (or sea salt). Sea salt is better than mined salt, so adding iodine to mined salt is necessary.

"Salt" without any other qualifiers refers to sodium chloride (NaCl), which in pure form is also the mineral halite.

Evaporite is the mineral produced by evaporation of seawater. It contains a large quantity of halite, but also has some other minerals in it, which vary according to the composition of the sea that evaporated. Generally, it adds calcium, potassium, and magnesium to the cations, and carbonate, sulfate, bromide, and fluoride to the anions. It is very likely to contain hydrates.

As far as I know, the marketing names and terms for salts are not controlled. Someone could come up with a process to color purified table salt pink and then sell it as Himalayan salt, without it ever going anywhere near Pakistan. Someone is probably already doing that. And actually, as some evaporite deposits are not safe for dietary consumption, it is likely that mines in India and Pakistan are purifying their salt, selling most of it as iodized table salt domestically, and then recoloring some of it for export as luxury product.

There are only two kinds of salt you need to worry about for cooking. "Salt", which has been purified and probably iodized, and "sea salt", which has only been processed for uniform particle sizes. You can also get pure potassium chloride (KCl) at most supermarkets, and it does taste noticeably different from pure NaCl. There is no need to buy a premium product, unless spending the extra money makes you feel good.

The cited page explains about radiation mutation and lists some of the varieties created, apart from noting that organic standards don't forbid their use it doesn't offer much info on how widespread use is in organic agriculture. That's the bit that needs the citation.

Among those with mental challenges, "microchip implant" allegations were more popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Remebmer that Boomtown Rats song about the school shooter? I suspect it was because both IC technology was becoming widely known and medical imaging still didn't quite catch up to where you could get a CT and prove it easily. I actually don't see the "microchip implant" accusation as much anymore, probably for that exact reason.

What I do see now is the rise of "microwave auditory effect" accusations, where the government or some other clandestine organisation is using radio waves to create voices in their head. Obviously, these are a lot harder to disprove, requiring a wideband SDR and expertise in operating one to conclusively rule out, something far less common than modern medical imaging.

Additionally, it's dubious that the subject would believe you even if you put them in a faraday cage and showed them the blank waterfall view proving no radio transmissions are even occurring. Owing to the nature of schizophrenia, they'd move onto the second-most common allegation I've seen: "psychic attacks", an accusation that handwaves away all physical explanations for the percieved harassment with an ill-defined mysticism that cannot be fully explained.

I often wonder myself how I would handle schizophrenia, and if the heroic mental gynmastics it creates are merely a product of a large ego, unwilling to admit one can be wrong in their judgement...or are genuinely organic/structural in the brain.
Interesting. But you also don't want to bias them toward nontreatment (do you?). I wonder if one would get better outcomes in lawsuit-heavy countries by just starting all interactions with health professionals by handing out unsolicited full liability releases like candy. "I want you to do what you think can work, not what is easy to justify if it fails." Maybe only if one has a particularly difficult health condition.

Thanks to data collection and aggregation, the ads are targeted better, and thanks to that, the sites are earning more, and thanks to that, small scale content creation is a viable career. Now that ad revenue will be most definitely cut down to almost zero, a whole sector of small content creators will be destroyed and move to centralized platforms such as Facebook will be encouraged (because only on centralized platforms enough data can be collected in order to properly target ads, because that is the only remaining way how to have at least some audience and because it's free).

If I wanted to be social I wouldn't even know where to start. There's nowhere to go to hang out and meet people. Folks work and then go home and stay in their houses (UK commuter town). The previous generation might have gone to the pub (bar) but those have been turned into restaurants so even that doesn't work anymore.

I even start thinking about going online as the best available option to be RL social. horror

I think if we want people to be more social we need to create RL places for them to go. Where everyone knows the score - you go to this place, hang out, chat to each other, play a game, have a drink, have food, etc.

This looks nice, although in Redux's favour is a large ecosystem of libraries that will work with it. This highlights a problem I still have with the JS ecosystem, which is relatively tight coupling between libraries. Of course many of these libraries could be glued together manually without too much work, but with the rapidly changing ecosystem and APIs for interoperability between libraries, and the obscurity of some of the libraries (Redux being a good example), this is often just not practical.

Compare this to Elm and the Elm architecture, and it seems worlds apart. Interoperability between libraries that all works in the same straightforward way, checked by the compiler.

It feels like the JS community made a lot of good decisions for the right reasons, but still ended up in a place that isn't great.
