But isn't Maven and Rekognition people at these companies blowing the whistle? If they just did what was asked of them, then there would be no difference to other companies.

The reason we're hearing about this right now is that a lot of whistles are blown. The question is whether this will be effective in any way.

They can and have, but it seems happen a lot less. This is an instance where the shades of gray are important.

Furthermore you have to consider the non-binary nature of being demonetized. Youtube may demonetize only 50% of your videos, leaving your channel active but severely impacting the predictability of your income. Patreon provides stability and therefore a sense of security that creators are desperately looking for. You might lose significant income seemingly at random because your neighbor turned up their radio a little bit too loud and triggered ContentID, but so far Patreon isn't taking away creators' income for chickenshit stuff like that.

It's not fair or reasonable to pin the blame of failing a business on the last employee being fired.

Even if that last employee did any harm to the company, that would be like blaming that ladt straw for injuring that poor inocent camel.
How to get your life hacked (with a little help from T-Mobile)
Don't know to which jurisdiction smyte belongs, but in many countries creating figureheads/companies, dumping them, firing all employees and then buying the leftovers and rehiring people is considered the same a acquiring the company. E.g. finding ways around laws does not make them invalid and (sometimes, not always) you have to follow them anyway.

But if it is all within the states, it could be just that.

> If eg smyte was out of money, this is plausible. And all of a sudden no-one was there to run the old corp.

Sound more like a tech/knowledge acquisition to me.

4M$ for 23 employees only works if you have proper financial management though.
> box of completely inert culinary grade stainless steel BBs to play with?

If you did, it wouldn’t really be a big deal. Toddlers daily encounter playgrounds full of tiny rocks, wood chips, etc. which are more dangerous than the BBs. Swallowing BBs is comparable to swallowing cherry pits. It’s very unlikely to be life threatening. Typically there is no noticeable effect, or there might be some minor discomfort as it works through the digestive system.

I would be entirely comfortable letting my under 2 year old play with BB-sized steel or glass balls, under loose adult supervision, from a safety perspective (from a that’s-going-to-be-a-mess perspective I can well imagine avoiding giving kids BBs). More realistically, I can imagine letting an older child play with a box of BBs without worrying that a toddler would eat a few and die. Larger marbles are more of a choking hazard, and require closer adult supervision.

But swallowing magnets is much more dangerous.

That's pretty much the story of most js app i know of. Some cow boy code with "libs not framework" as a moto and has, like every cow boy, a very personnal idea of what the libs should be. Plus a few new ones because testing new toys makes like more fun.

The of course, the js ecosystem being what is it, everything changes. Stuff are not compatible anymore, docs disapear, new things are hot.

Mean while I have a django 1.4 project we migrated to 1.8 last year. The author was not a great dev. No tests. No docs. But it's a very stable stack, with lots of tutorials and a well integrated and compatible ecosystem. It was work, but not remotly a rewrite, and any python dev could have done it.

The current JS state of things, bith technological and cultural, leans to disposable projects.

The only successful JS projects i witnessed are ones from great teams. But the world is not made of mostly 10x dev.

Correct me if I am wrong in understanding this "Using a pgbouncer-per-webserver we easily got to 20k.", but does this mean say you have 5 web-servers, each web-server has an instance of pgbouncer installed? or you have 5 web-servers with 5 separate pgbouncer servers (1:1 mapping between webserver and pgbouncer) while all pgbouncer server transact with a powerful, single master Postgres.

This is standard operating procedure for the CA legislature clear back to the Willie Brown era, or perhaps even Unruh.

"Uh, is this an 'A' vote or a 'B' vote?"
You are correct because your statement doesn't quantify it in any meaningful way, which is the least useful kind of correct. For example, I can also say that "many people with autism do have enough communication skills to do that". We both understand how a lot of readers will interpret these two statements if made in isolation, even though that is wrong. They can both be true at the same time (and in this case I'd say they are), which is why it's not a useful statement to make. They appear to contradict, but don't actually do so because they don't claim anything of value.

Police != military. Those principles don't really apply here as they are different forces both in duty and power.

A military can only act as a deterrent if it has the capability to actually pull off what it claims, otherwise it very quickly loses standing. It's far better to have the ability to defend and never need it then to be wishing you had it when something goes wrong.

There is no such world where you don't depend on the military. The world is literally controlled through violence. Everything comes down to either direct action or the threat of it (backed by the capabilities as mentioned). Sure you can avoid a lot through diplomatic means, and we should always look for peaceful solutions, but reducing military power is only done at your peril.
God dammit, I knew my open source game framework was going to be used for nefarious purposes, how could I have been so short sighted?
Choosing SaaS products that have self hosted licenses or open source alternatives is part of managing your own destiny and making the right trade off. If the former exists, this discussion is moot because there will almost certainly be a commercially supported migration path (or someone didn't do their research and chose the wrong vendor). If it's the latter you're back to having to invest capital into creating an in-house system while learning how to use, scale, and troubleshoot open source software. If neither... god help you.

Karen made a mistake by writing the tweet, and Bradley made a mistake by writing this article. It became clear to me while reading it that Bradley is either not that socially aware or doesn’t really have Karen’s best interests at heart. He should have found a way to phase himself out of the organization, or at least refrain from writing an article that could be summarized as “I’m disappointed that nobody really respects Karen as Executive Director”

Transfer.sh: Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line
There's nothing wrong with Google wanting as many people as possible to use their cloud offering. I suspect the engineers would be happy for most government agencies to use their offering and it makes sense for Google to pursue government contracts. Governments are the ideal cloud consumers, needing to operate at scale and happy with generic solutions as they're not so interested in squeezing out some competitive advantage. Clouds can save governments a lot of money and this is indisputably a good thing. (Even in those case where they might not be happy with a particular agency using the offering they may at least know that they're not implicated as the cloud offering is a general solution that likely does more good than harm.)

Where the balance tips and they become complicit is when they offer customized and specialized solutions that further a particular mission. Here I think good engineers will draw the line as a matter of conscience.
I wouldn't be happy about any loss of life, you're right. However, has the Smyte situation led to anyone coming to physical harm or put in mortal danger? If it has, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything about that.

What I've seen was a select group of companies and their users who've been inconvenienced by the abrupt shutdown of a service; and whose unpleasant experience should be used to teach every user - this can happen to you. I would not be at all happy if, say, the servers for medical tracking software used in hospitals around the world went down the same way; or if suddenly air traffic control software that every airport uses goes offline.

This particular situation doesn't cause potential physical harm to a human being. It's not actually an emergency situation. That, to me, is a major difference.

The predecessor of the Champions' League used to be called the European Champion Clubs' Cup. That's a mouthful in many European languages, but especially in many of the Eastern languages. It used to be referred to as the European Cup in most of the English-speaking or English-influenced West, but we called it the Champions' Cup or the European Champions' Cup in most of the East.

Here's why.

Most sports clubs around here used to be very diverse in terms of sports, on account of the Party insisting that the working class has to practice sports and on account of there not being much entertainment. It would be routine for the same club to have a football team, a basketball team, a handball team and a hockey team, all playing at the highest domestic level. Red Star Belgrade or Dynamo Moscow would, at one point or another, have several teams participating in some sort of "Club Champions' Cup" (e.g. in 1986, Steaua Bucharest football team won the Club Champions' Cup, and the handball team came in third in the handball Champions' Cup)

Consequently, for most of this period, we did not take "club" to mean footbal club. This still persists today, in fact -- it was only around 2000-2005 that most clubs disbanded everything but their football teams, or football-only clubs began to be founded, so except for folks who are now in the 13-18 age group, everyone grew up with "club" meaning "an organization that organizes and maintain a great diversity of sporting events".

(Ironically enough, the party press experimented with an augmented version of the cup's name, which would be translated roughly as "European Football Club Champions' Cup". Suffice to say that did not turn out to be too popular. It took two lines of a narrow newspaper column to print it and there was no way you could pronounce it after the third beer or so).

"European Cup" didn't catch up, either, probably because it would inevitably attract the question "which one?" It didn't help that "European competitions" wasn't a useful term back then: there were various regional competitions as well, such as the Balkans Cup, and less important European competitions, such as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, so in order to refer to the UEFA Cup, the Champions' Cup and the Cup Winners Cup, we'd say "European cups".

Consequently, everyone here called in "the Champions' Cup", or "the European Champions' Cup". That's how me, my friends or my parents' friends from (what used to be) Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic called it. Unfortunately, my Russian isn't exactly top notch, so I can't say much about the USSR, but I'd be surprised if they called it anything else.

I mean, we can stretch these analogies like pieces of tasteless gum all day. I don't think being happy at the misfortune of others is a particularly constrictive attitude nor do I think Twitter buying and then apparently shutting down some service with 20 minutes notice is good for the web, teaches anyone anything or is in any way a desirable outcome. I don't understand how any reasonable person would.
Clearly a case of "I want to speak with the engineer and not the manager/ceo/lawyer". Sad to see people still trying this kind of shenanigans.
Seems reasonable considering the amount of babysitting they do.

Managing assets and making sure certain bills get paid on time seems reasonable. But having to talk them out of impulse buys they may not be able to afford sounds terrible.

I imagine many very large companies internally view themselves as above politics. Most peoples' political views wax and wane as a reflection of whatever is happening at a given moment in time and especially whatever is trending in the media and social media. By contrast consider individuals like Jeff Bezos. He wants to advance humanity into a commercial space age and is working extensively and at great cost to do just that. And that change will radically shift society in ways that would make many of our current issues seem quite trite, and even render others completely obsolete.

So what various political leaders or even nations are doing is not necessarily material to his goal. I wouldn't see it as a double-faced 'talking a good game', but rather understanding that what companies say in any region is little more than a product of their public relations teams, if not only because of apathy.

I also don't think they would ever fire individuals in large quantities over anything like this. There's a much easier solution. Turnover in tech companies is huge. All they need to do is change their hiring preferences and in a decade the company could have almost entirely shifted the ethos of their workforce without having had to fire a single person.
Are there some good examples of problems for which these sorts of programming tools are particularly helpful, or yield a particularly elegant solution, or is their role more academic?
Did you know they were magnets?
They can't make predictions from them. Can you tell me what the temperature in 100 years will be? How do you do the math? Do you need some hand-made closed-source HPC simulation software with no manual that nobody knows how to use except the author?
Indeed, looking at the tweet, it seems that the senior tech director wanted go have hand-on information about how things are going, not marketing speech from someone at the top.

I been using Windows 10 on a ThinkPad x230 as a daily driver for the past three weeks, and only use Edge.

As of this week, I want to see how far I can get before I replace it with Linux.

(I am most comfortable with macOS on a laptop or desktop machine, mostly Bash, actually. Been a long time since a Linux laptop, where I used iwm.)

I wish Bash/WSL were better integrated. PowerShell can be amazing but I am not used to it.

Legacy weirdness everywhere.

Edge seems pretty good, with some odd omissions like “Save As...”. You can’t drag files into the browser window to view them — something I wasn’t aware that I cared about until the feature was gone.
Is Mick Jagger primarily a musician or a businessman?

Rock and roll has always been a business - 'the music business' - and usually those that succeed have an excellent business partner that looks after the books. You would be surprised at the property and stock portfolios of the truly successful 'musicians'. Even John Lennon was a 'businessman'. Although he did put peace and love first and foremost he made sure those Russians paid him in furs when he sang a few ditties there.

The same goes in the 'art business'. Is Damien Hirst an artist or a businessman, first and foremost? Again, an excellent business partner takes care of business for him whilst the army of interns/students/wannabees do the hard work of assembling the dead animals into 'art' (for the status-anxiety celebrities to buy).

So-called 'celebrities' have to be smart otherwise they end up with accountants skimming off '5%' of their earnings.
> I find it silly to rely on some service, any external service, so much that if it goes down it would cause a prod outage.

There are pretty solid SLA's for that. We provide some services as kind-of-saas but the SLAs are watertight.

Usually in those kind of sla's you can't sell the company (or move assets) without guarantee of delivery of the contract. In some cases they (the contract holders) even own you if you screw up and go under.

> "On Android, not a lot of people are sideloading most prefer the App Store even if they also take a steep cut."

I don't think that's comparable at all. Patreon is an entrenched 1:N (one website for many creators) method for giving money to your favorite youtube creators; youtube's new system is late to the game. Youtube is late to the game here in the same way that Amazon's Appstore was late to the game on Android (which I think maps better to this scenario than generic sideloading, since both Play Store and Amazon Appstore are both 1:N app distribution methods, just as Patreon and youtube are now.)

Since the data collection management would traditionally be stored as a cookie... It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. Without tracking, how do you track that consent was revoked?

The cookie law bugs me because it's feels like it's being applied in completely the wrong place. Isn't the browser perfectly capable of restricting third party cookies and presenting the necessary legal warnings?
Yes, I do think we have problems with certain commercial interests overriding public welfare, in pretty much all industries. Bad actors exist everywhere and unfortunately can cause much chaos in such a powerful force as the modern military.

That being said, yes, the world is safer than ever before. There have been many mishaps and sadly some of them are because of pulling back on military action prematurely, leading to a lack of control and a power vacuum that fills the void with much more turbulence than before. Proper leadership and direction still matters, but when it counts the US military is still capable and willing to keep its citizens and many others out of trouble anywhere on the planet, and there is a lot to be said for that.
Sure, I looked at parquet and HDF5. The compression is much better with iptm for the kind of data I am interested in, and the algorithm is also much simpler. It's less than 500 LOC in total.

The reason I wrote this in typescript is that it is nice for prototyping when working with JSON data. If it ever turns out too slow, I would write a rust version. Should not take more than a few days.

I have not profiled it, but I would guess that the most time is spent in the zlib deflate implementation, which is of course already a C library, so I would not expect miracles from a rewrite in rust.

We have smooth scrolling, you just need to do `set smoothscroll true`. It's a bit rubbish, though.

You can often fix the new tab page by disabling and re-enabling the new tab add-on you want. Every time Tridactyl is updated it will steal the page back, so I'd suggest that you don't use the beta releases and instead use the normal ones.

We could reasonably easily provide a build that didn't use the new tab page (we occasionally get people who feel very strongly about this) but I'm afraid it's quite low down my list of priorities. If you're feeling up to it there's an issue open: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/issues/534

Vegan food is the cheapest food and the most efficient food with regard to natural resources in the Philippines. Eating meat is a tradition and a personal choice but not a requirement in the Philippines.

Maybe several millions but not billions of people are hunters or farmers living in barren locations were only grass and shrubs grow well and thus animal products are needed. Too often land is stolen for animal farming. Too often deserts are created by animal farming. Animal farming is maybe the most important activity promoting global warming.

Why not become rich yourself instead of working for rich people ? You can not do anything else than work for rich people ? Thus rich people are not the problem.
