> At GitLab we pay market rates instead of paying the same wage for the same role in different regions.

No, because the market for remote work is not geographically segregated, so if you are paying location-specific rates for non-location-specific work, you are selectively paying above or below market rates (possibly both) to some employees.
I can see why you'd be skeptical given your fondness for specious arguments.
That's a really good point that I hadn't considered before: sometimes the ad that maximizes the expected return won't be the ad that is most accurately targeted. If an ad for a $10 HDMI cable for your new TV snags 10% of consumers, that's a well-targeted ad, but if 1/200 consumers will purchase another $500 TV if you remind them about it occasionally for the next six months, that's the ad it makes sense to run.
I don't think it is small or minimal but I believe it to be smaller than Scala
Sears, despite their bumblings, had a half-baked solution to this. At some of them, you'd pick the product on a showroom floor, grab a ticket (like for a meat counter), then, at a waiting area by the entrance, you'd have your fridge/washer/air conditioner wheeled out to your car.
> Paternalism requires a faith that those in charge are somehow more free from the limitations of our flawed nature while also having others' interests at heart.

We have technology to coordinate group action plans and execute them transparently, and our culture is gradually beginning to support honesty around failure and change, no longer demanding the appearance of perfection (which seems to be the driving force behind the failure of so many attempts at paternalism).

It would appear, then, that we could collaboratively and openly engineer a culture that supports flawed-but-honest-and-still-competent leadership in their attempts to advance community-sponsored projects and leverage technology to facilitate transparency at scale.

Is there a reason this approach is inherently untenable (as opposed to just logistically difficult)?

If you don't mind, I'll shill my service as another option: builds.sr.ht. It's still in closed alpha, but it's being used seriously by several open-source projects for complex build automation. It also deploys itself, here's the build manifest which does it:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/.build.yml

And an example of a build which used it:

https://builds.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/job/6974

If you or anyone else would like to try it, please let me know. I used Jenkins for a long time (and still do at work), Travis for a while as well, also tried Drone and Circle, but none of them were exactly right. I think builds.sr.ht does it very well.

One of the advantages of the way FR4 PCBs for example are made is the following:
1) you can deposit a thin layer using an electroless process
2) then now that you have a continuous conducting surface you can electoplate to make a thick layer of copper that is quite strong and durable

Anyway, it would seem like with all this work he could have used the laser to define a photomask on copper clad board with some photosensitive material there, then just watch in the iron chloride solution as people have been doing for ages?

2 layer PCBs are really cheap these days and you don’t end up with vats of chemicals left over..

Anyway cool stuff, I’ve tried to do similar stuff and has always just found that paying $50 for a few PCBs is actually much more economical than this type of setup.

Yup. Amazon also has the advantage of dark UI patterns; they put sponsored listings inline with normal product results in the exact same style. I'm the (probably atypical) sort of person who will deliberately not click on a sponsored listing even if it seems the most relevant, and I still regularly click sponsored items on Amazon by accident. I back out if I notice this, but I'm sure I've bought a few products this way. These seem like very effective ads to me.
This subreddit is dominated by women who make it their lifestyle to be a sugar baby. It's not a representative sample, just as a Star Wars subreddit won't be a representative sample of all people who watched Star Wars movies.

The whole reason for experimenting with this was to be able to create traces on 3d printed parts - the test runs were just on rectangular coupons for ease of testing and because he printed what looks like hundreds of them.

Call me old fashioned, but as a developer if I did this I'd feel completely responsible if it didn't turn out well. Not just to the company paying me for my work (which apparently I feel free to do in whatever way I like?), but also to my coworkers who may have to manage more complexity because of my choices. Imagine if everyone on just a 5 person dev team did this... pretty risky, and potentially company sinking behaviour.

I've experienced this ethic in others and it sucked (and the person basically shrugged and walked away). Obviously this could work out well, but I suspect most of the time it doesn't.

I'm sure there are situations in which it's perfectly fine though. Like working on your own on a fixed quote greenfield project.
If there was no conflict and it just naturally happened and B worked out better than A I'd say just go for B and ride it out.

Even on desktop FB's ads are unblocked (or were when I used to have a FB account). They use a significant amount of obfuscation to make it impossible to use typical adblock techniques (url filter, css selectors, simple heuristics) without breaking the rest of the site. So far as I can tell most of the filter maintainers leave Facebook's native ads alone.

This reminds me of the scene from the remarkably prescient original Blade Runner (1982) where Deckard is able to look around corners in a photograph -- he tells the computer to "pull out, track right, track 45 right, enhance,..."[1] and finds a woman that wasn't visible at first.

[1] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/quotes

EDIT: Rereading the quotes from the script, it seems like Deckard was using the reflection from a mirror to look into another room. However, in the movie it felt like he was going around a corner to get to the mirror.

Very good point. Encountered that situation a few times.
Honestly in my experience they don't. The low quality ads is a major reason I have ramped down my Facebook usage. Google is sort of ok. The targeting on every platform is still 1999 quality. There literally has been zero change to the end user despite all the data collection. At the end of the day, it's low quality advertising.
If it is a B2B app, maybe not that far :). But I agree, if you get to a certain size, you can move no matter where you start. I think it'd be an interesting angle displaying customer empathy though.
I just searched for “buy new headphones” on Google with my ad blocker turned off.

It showed ads where I could get headphones from different web sites - where neither I nor most people have an account.

What’s more likely? That I am going to register for an account on “Under Armour” - the first site that appeared or that I’m going to go to Amazon where they already have all of my information,I’m an Amazon Prime customer and where I have one-click activated?

If Under Armour were smart they would have web based Apple Pay payments available to reduce friction.

Maybe they're not telling about some of the detail (and they've clearly given it plenty of thought!) but it seems wasteful to fully process all frames when in several cases many of them will never be selected. eg if it fails due to poor Visual Metadata (such as strong motion blur or very low brightness) you'd want to abandon all frames like that before running the other processing.

Well, if you are doing direct response advertising, you can mark (with utm source) and measure any kind of performance metric (CPA, average purchase price, whatever you can come up with), and if their clicks are not cost effective, you can stop buying them.

And if you do branding... branding is hard to measure anyway.

Note -- I'm not affiliated with google in any way, I just think their offering makes a lot of sense.
Yes, I agree that a DB should be the first pass, but what do you do when you encounter a never before seen token?

I’ve been through that already for a relatively minor project and been asked not to do it again, even though the project worked out very well. The problem is we end up with something that can’t be properly maintained if I leave, and even if it’s a small service, it tends to grow in scope. Sadly we don’t really use any of the VMs you listed either.

People around me don’t doubt that you can do cool stuff in Elixir or Clojure, they just think it’s too hard to hire for these languages, and that the same is possible in any scripting language with Redis, Kubernetes, Kafka, etc.

>it's nice to move away from commercial journalism and keep things as open and transparent as possible.

Open and transparent as possible is still not open or transparent.

There is no way to verify that what they published is actually what is running on their server... so publishing a repo means nothing in regards to "openness and transparency," for this or any other website. All of them are proprietary black boxes as far as the end user is concerned.
I know Elm isn't the same as Haskell, but these points are also used as a selling point for Elm. And more often than not, as with Haskell, the type system makes it possible to refactor a large program with the confidence that all the parts you replace will slot perfectly back into the original structure OR the compiler will yell at you until it does :).
Actually, this might be one of the intended effects of this feature. What better way to make it appear their catalog is wider and ever-changing then to cycle through these static stills every so often. It may not be the most user friendly design pattern to 'trick' your user into thinking there's a bigger catalog, but I can understand the desire for it from their perspective.

And to be perfectly honest, sometimes those changing stills have actually made me watch a movie that I had previously glossed over because the image wasn't as interesting. So from personal experience I can say their primary intent was reached w/ the periodic cycling of stills.
And then once I buy shampoo,Amazon can make a deal with the Shampoo manufacturer to send a branded Amazon Dash button for repeat purchases.
