Venzuela is a great example of my point! If V got into a war right now, let's say with Columbia, how would that go? If the money is worthless in V, then how do you pay troops; how do you pay for the food for the troops; how do you pay for the gas to get the troops where they need to be; how do you pay for the weapons? If you don't pay for that stuff, how do you get it? Will people volunteer? How long can they do that until they starve? Or will you use coercion? Coercion requires troops, and also suffers from the starvation end-game, at both ends.

Basically, V can't fight a war until they get their money situation in order.
Per the article: the CEO of a small company made an organizational change, gave up a year later, and then says the change is unviable generally. Meanwhile, in paragraph 10, one other company tried the same change and it worked great.

TLDR; nothing. This article has essentially zero information.
I travel quite often. My 2 cents are: look at the 1 star reviews. If the one star reviews are less than 1:500 and the pictures are that of a well designed restaurant, it should be good with a 99% chance. Obviously, that’s kinda hard to find - but that should be the threshold.

Regarding hotels/apartments:

On Booking it should be 9.1+ And it should have an amazingly curated breakfast (check the pics too).

On Airbnb it should be either a “plus” or a “super host” with 5 star reviews only. Read the reviews tho. They often mention noises or lack of hot water. Those might be considered red flags.

And as a general rule of thumb, when you think you’re getting a great deal because it’s cheap, you’re not. Trust me, you’re not. Following the above advice, I never ever had a bad experience - but it definitely costed above average.
I don't understand this attitude at all. So something that doesn't seem artistic to you simply isn't artistic for anybody else because you decided that it isn't? Autotune is just another processing like reverb, delay, whatever. You think they didn't use any processing on Beatles' records? You think non-autotuned singers don't use a TC-helicon or whatever when they're performing live?

Autotuned songs can sound good, just as non-autotuned songs can sound bad. I'm as much a music elitist as anybody, but thinking that you have the one true objective idea of what music sounds good or bad is just childish.
1 in 30 is hardly “very rare”. That means you know well more than 10 people who are that tall, and the average bus is likely to have one.

You can get some decent sources from university sites... I think I can learn things very quickly from lecture slides + bit of experimentation.

Since almost all things I want to learn are open source, there are always some great resources in form of documentation for me. I often like terse documentation rather than tutorials since it facilitates faster learning if you know how;

a distinct "peak" around the 50K followers mark

You have to figure that there's a standing population of subculture participants, that represent a feedback loop of engrossed imitators, all incestuously following each other, and backslapping the whole way. Gadflies keeping up with the Joneses. Famous for being famous.

It's sort of like artificial trading volume in a niche crypto currency network. A handful of miners mint 30 million coins, then create a couple of hundred sock puppet wallets, to create a closed loop of transactions between, this way it always looks like there are people using the coin, and the system doesn't seem like a ghost town. As spectators and wall flowers show up, jaws drop at the occasional whopper trade between two "anonymous" users, which is actually meaningless, because it was really just one guy moving a million worthless tokens from one address to another, both of which he controls.

So too with having 50K followers. When they're all just bots and pros, keeping an eye on the competition, what's that actually worth?

The title sounds like it killed the work ethic of his employees, but a quote from the interview makes it rather sound like it killed his work ethic:

I'd really like to know what he means by "lack of work ethic" and why he thinks a 32 hour week contributed to that.
I was almost there with you until the bit about the gig economy. This reads more like an advert for Upwork.

People giving up leverage with labor just gives 'them' the upper hand. Why it's so hard for tech workers to band together over something as common as income is the problem, regardless of the disparity.

Teachers in my area are striking over much less money than tech workers fritter away on a daily basis. Sometimes it's worth standing outside with signs and waving at people passing.
Then look at the data, where you can sort by total R&D per million residents or thousand in the labor force. Denmark, Iceland, Sweden are the top three.

I looked up the company on Crunchbase and they're in the 100-250 range. I think having a lax work policy is something that doesn't scale. Having gone through growth at company where it grew from ~100 to ~300, work starts getting less personal at around 150+ (personal opinion backed by zero facts). When work becomes less personal, I think it's easier to become complacent. You do the 9-5 -- do your job and go home. If the company policy says you can take Fridays off, hell why not take it off? I don't think there's a way to keep up work output with an overly lax work policy.

I've realized that different people work differently. I'm a "rhythm" worker. I work best when I have minimum breaks. The longer break I have between work days, the longer it takes me to become productive.

A three day weekend would mean I would spend Monday just ramping up into productive mode. I wouldn't reach proper productivity until Tuesday.

So really, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Perhaps giving workers the freedom to design their own work habits would work best
Moving to Europe? I have always despised creditcards, their business model is anti consumer and legalised theft. Luckily I live in a country that has superior payment options.
Such a system is already applied worldwide (by some people I know personally) for toll collection (and who knows what else). But it's much simplier. The optical carplate matcher is in every camera and no video is being sent for verification. With the timestamp and carplate you implement speed tracking. Without the video you ensure it's not used by normal police for speeding tickets.
That can be mitigated by using modular batteries designed to be easily replaceable during any stop. Land, open the cargo bay doors, remove battery modules, add battery modules, take-off. This sort of operation can take far more time than unloading luggage due to the advantages of using standardized containers.

This. I can see the Netherlands on 2+% of GDP on the chart as well. The Netherlands indeed grants tax cuts if you do R&D (The law is called "WBSO"), however it totally depends on how you word what you're doing towards the tax authorities. Installing Kubernetes & building Jenkins pipelines? Sorry, that's obviously NOT R&D. Oh wait -- someone hired a company to word it slightly differently. Now you're getting an X million tax cut.

No, the bad edit in question is still there. OSM only "redacts" changes when there is a copyright problem. The licence was changed in Sept 2012, so there are lots of redactions from before then from people who didn't agree to the new licence.

The OSM history of an object shouldn't really be seen as the historical status of the thing.
This sounds like he'd spent time low-balling on salaries until he'd collected a cadre of people only barely interested in their work. It doesn't take much to make those people completely disinterested in doing more than marking time.

If you're hiring people who are engaged and genuinely interested in what they're doing and giving them a reasonable workload(!), they're likely to just treat that day as a day they can work from home with the option to not do work if life suddenly has plans for them.

XKCD-style admins, for instance, are likely to just spend that day spitballing ways to reduce downtime (which make the other 32 hours less annoying) and hardening infrastructure without having to worry about producing results. Planning is everything for that sort of work. My occasional work-from-home days were frequently days when I'd get a positively lurid number of things done just because of fewer interruptions.

Yes business is in most cases a blocked middle seat. BA used to have more leg room but that was "enhanced" away

The problem is business demand varies wildly - some flights will warrant 50 seats, some struggle with 5, sp the cabins are varied -- by eliminating extra leg room BA squeezed in 12 more seats, which is £500 on a full plane. They figures that was better than losing 1 seat in business which itself is £500, because most people travelling in business are paying for the schedule and thus don't have competition.

the train often works well on the continent - especially with sleeper trains. Eurostar is less appealing thanks to the security theatre, and Paris is a pain to change in.

The CEOs I know spend much of their time socializing /networking either through social media or on the phone. To them, having a fancy dinner with a prospective partner is classified as working. No wonder some people claim they "work" >80hours/week.
Interesting! Do you have examples where it is possible to hear these unnatural overtones?
Neither of your examples qualify as deliberate practice. People can plateau at one skill level for decades and make sudden jumps in ability by deliberately focusing on one specific skill. Expertise is at least in part, the combination of excellence in multiple related skills.

> An expert breaks down the skills that are required to be expert and focuses on improving those skill chunks during practice or day-to-day activities, often paired with immediate coaching feedback. Another important feature of deliberate practice lies in continually practicing a skill at more challenging levels with the intention of mastering it.

The entire map is user submitted! It's a wiki map.

I'd imagine that getting some very tiny nano-thermite dust particles into one's lungs would cause some particularly nasty problems. What is amazing to me is how high-tech the attackers were, and how they seemingly coordinated the planes along with the pre-placed charges without anyone noticing, and managed to time it all reasonably well.

Also kind of odd that the US Air Force couldn't, you know, scramble a few jets over NYC after the first plane hit, just in case. I guess the Eastern Seaboard isn't a high priority area for homeland defense, huh? Or maybe our forces are just too busy "defending freedom and democracy" thousands of miles away to be bothered...?

FWIW, sitting in meetings and organizing the activities of others for 80+ hours per week is every bit as mentally demanding as writing mostly bug-free production grade code. After a normal day, your ability to focus and fully comprehend situations as they develop rapidly drops, resulting in lower quality decision making.

Heck, make that after half a day of work. Try doing two 1h back to back meetings in the morning and another two in the afternoon, every day, for weeks in a row, with you as one of the key decision makers in each and every single one of those meetings. It's fulfilling but utterly draining.
The league switches at least had some rational justification. Yanking the Pilots out of Seattle was pure vanity. The owners' collusion in the 80s was pure greed. The retaliation against Fay Vincent was pure vengeful pettiness. And the "tie" in the All-Star Game, followed by making it "meaningful", was a pure travesty.

Besides, everybody's focused now on the possibility of expanding to 32 teams and redoing the entire league and divisional alignments anyway.

As someone who likes to write and produce songs but can't sing, I'd say that auto-tune and pitch correction are a Godsend. It means I can try out new ideas without having to rely on a vocalist.

Modern production tools have mostly eliminated the need to work with a band. I can create music that I want to create with complete artistic freedom. Auto-tune is just another step in that direction.

You're right that a shell alone can't calculate md5 but a separate md5 binary does it for you, but the question still stands when the common answer on the internet seems to be to write that cryptic code as that's probably the easiest way provided on PowerShell.

The best alternative I could find is some community maintained PowerShell extension (with just 177 GitHub stars now), which is far better but the lack of interest in making PowerShell act more straightforward is weird.

I can see how advertising a 32-hour work weeks attracts a class of people who view work as something that supports their other interests, whereas a 40-hour work week attracts more traditional workers who derive a large part of identity from their work. It might be in your personal best interest to be in the former group. But if the mentality that work comes second defines the company's culture, that company is not going to win.

I'm aware of who Anita is, and I have no expectation of changing your mind about her.

That said, I think she was "all of those things" when people contributed over 100k to her Kickstarter, which was before the Gamergate harassment started. So she was earning her keep well before she was made the "public victim," as you say.

Of course the comments are disabled for her videos. Normal YouTube comments are toxic enough. She literally got bomb threats over scheduled appearances on conference panels – do you think comments on her videos are productive? If your Twitter was filled by anonymous users threatening to rape you, and kill your parents, etc., then you'd disable comments on your videos too.
Companies like Red Hat are doing it in very good way... They leave lot for the community that develops these software.

But Microsoft is obviously a cancer (It did not give anything really to FOSS ecosystem, just took from that), and Google is a double edged sword.

Google uses open source components which is highly advantageous for technical end users (Eg: I can run Linux utilities even on a non rooted Android). But their vendor lock in is second to none but Apple & MS.

Hi,

Here is the GitHub: https://github.com/astrocorp42/rocket

It started with the need to automate assets uploading for github relases for go binaries but then it appeared that it could be awesome to add other providers like Heroku, Firebase, Netlify, AWS S3 to simplify and automate the process of software delivery.

rocket is the D in CI/CD: It allows to easily deliver software to a large range of providers from any CI pipeline.

It should be as easy as possible to use, Any feedback is welcome : )
