Tell them that.

Tell them you will be kind, forget money, and are done unless:

And right now, decide what that is.

For everyones mutual benefit, going forward, things need to work this way:

Decide what that is.

Communicate all that, and then let them make choices. You will make sure you have options, and that they also have them.

Best you can do. You did not build that problem.

Make all those rhings ultra clear. Hear all their emotions, concerns, etc... feed them right back with your own and point to those options.

When they own it, you can move away easily and on reasonable terms.

Or, you won't care because they are not veing good humans about all this.

Or, they agree to make your ownership worth it, and then you can take care of them properly.

I put all the cases here for clarity and to be complete.

If you are going to quit them, omit what does not apply, leave them with a recommended process for their next engagement, and step away.

It may not be possible to do it and have everyone feel good. So make double sure your communication is documented snd very defensible.

Good as it gets.

I have been there.

Oh, one thing I did for a very difficult client was bring a peer in for review and consult.

We did it together client and I. They were enlightened. So was I.

Learned to manage expectations much better. I paid for that, and did it to reset a gig gone bad.

Got someone you trust to deliver competent, brutal truth?

Fresh eyes can be worth gold.

Honestly, after thinking about it. The root cause on this is likely the help out a few hours a week expectation combined with a full-time reality. There was probably no winning this. They need to know that. Or they're just going to continue to suffer.
TBH, expecting Smugmug--which for all the photos it hosts is a small business--to be the stewards of this commons "forever" is just kicking the can down the road. They could grandfather everything and just restrict future uploads (and maybe they should have depending on the financials) and the day would have come when a change of ownership or financial distress would have brought the whole issue up again.
This site is horrible on mobile. Probably the worst I have ever seen. Totally unusable.
That's actually a shame. It will run into the same problems the raspberry pi has when being used as an "embedded" system then. Not impossible to overcome of course, but not fun

Because they're unjust
US intel agencies are way worse than 20-30% below market, given how high comp is in tech. It’s a huge problem for them.
Let's take a look at Nix and Guix. Which checkboxes of the above list they fail to check? Cannot reasonably check?
I was quite surprised after studying your main page that movim looks much more like a chat app than a social network. How comes you advertise it as social network? And assuming it is in fact a social network, what brought you to use the XMPP standard for that?
I have 4 years experience and earn £ 45k as an AI dev in a small business who sponsored my work visa. Secured 3 job offers in the same magnitude in diverse roles during my job search spree earlier this year. DevOps, Python data consultancy and this one. I have recruiters bugging me every day because of my polyglot experience but those roles won't sponsor my visa.

On QoL, I have a 2 bedroom flat in a nice area within a 15 min walk of tech employers. This is equivalent to owning prime real-estate in San Fransisco.
Linux even dominates on Azure.

This has more to do with per hour billing. Over the long term no company wants to pay 2x for the same compute resources that they don't need to maintain.

For the on-premise enterprise you will continue to see sizable market share with Windows Server for the foreseeable future, since those companies already have Windows-trained sysadmins to manage them (along with their huge inventory of Windows corporate desktops).
After running some tests I was ready to deploy to a new production server, but unfortunately my hosting provider (OVH) doesn't offer a ready made image.

After trying to use Debian as a starting point, and several failed boots, I threw in the towel... Seems like OVH does funky things with their EFI which doesn't work without some black magic.

For now I'll continue using it on my laptop but it's not living up to its full potential, most of the configuration is for desktop stuff and NixOS doesn't really cover that.

When I get the chance I'd really like to try it on my servers, hopefully sooner rather than later. I can see it working really well with Saltstack for infrastructure management.
/not related to this thread, but interesting experience ahead:

The Amish around me were allowed to have electricity, but it could not be inside the house.

So they built a porch, turned it into a greenhouse looking room, and put all their electronics out on it. I have seen a refrigerator, laptop, and even a TV on their porch.

They also had electricity doing some stuff in their barn. I think it was mainly lights but I never went in there, just saw lights on 24/7. They milked the cows by hand (so I was told), plowed the fields with horses (unless they were harassing a local farmer to use their tractor and equipment), and lived like the textbook amish family.

They came from Pennsylvania right before buying the farmland. So I have no idea if they came from a particular sect that allows that, or what. I just know from talking with them (being neighbors and all), they were allowed to have certain stuff, just not allowed to have it in specific places.

I had several amish neighbors like this too. Nice people though except when they assumed they could use your farming equipment without asking and would get extremely defensive if you said no. That was just the fathers though. The wives and children were really great.

Often times when student loans come up people blame exclusively the borrower. We should keep in mind that in a properly functioning lending market both the borrower and lender take on risk. The lender should not left out of the equation on who to blame. Both parties are at fault. But we don’t have a properly function student loan industry. Lenders assume very little risk in this market but they should not be absolved of blame or have less outrage directed at them.
For those on the "you don't need a blockchain hype train." I suggest your write a dApp, and see how easy it is to connect to a highly fault tolerant function as a service that is accessible to the public, with the network affect of being able to access other contracts deployed by others. There is a lot more to blockchain than what is discussed in this article.
I've to admit I have no clue about machine learning, but what I notice is that this seems to have preferred colors for things that can actually have many different colors, most notably clothes. They're almost always this blueish slightly purple color here, even the samurai. Don't get me wrong, this is still awesome and I might try this on some old photos from my grandparents. I'm just wondering if and how one can prevent these things from picking this one ideal color for something and instead have it randomize a bit, since obviously you can't really know what color some jacket really was. (except maybe if the picture is a black and white photo of a PAL TV program.)
Yep, that's an important part of the approach used in Azure and Hyper-V.

Facebook now has the concept of both private (i.e. e2e encrypted) and temporary conversations. The UI to access them is a big awkward to be sure.

That doesn't help the problem of old messages from before these existed. It's also not super helpful because the retention is no more than a day. Better I think would be like a year -- enough time that you're unlikely to want to refer back to it.
A Bridgewater-Style Data Approach to Beat Traditional VCs to Key Hires–And Deals
Fortunately for an AI drone swarm to be as destructive as a decent sized nuke, you would need millions of them. Unfortunately an AI drone swarm can be less destructive than a nuke. It could kill all the people in a city but leave infrastructure completely intact for the attackers to use. This future is not here yet but is coming and it is good people are starting to talk about it.

The fact that anyone could downvote this post is telling. It's completely reasonable and easily verifiable with data. You even cited the Economist which is a reputable resource.

It's also reasonable to assert that self preservation is arguably the most important thing to individual humans as well as all other species on earth.

You acknowledge the counter argument that capitalism isn't perfect. You also admit that while it may be possible to find a new system, it may be difficult to implement and take a long time. You end by encouraging an open conversation.

Politically motivated people have become completely detached from reality, irrational, and delusional.
I wouldn't be surprised to see VS Code replacing VS entirely. Visual Studio is built on WPF and it's probably as massive of an effort to port all that over as it is to bring Code up to snuff.
It seems to me like nix fits all of those criteria.
How is it nicer? It's a .NET shop but devs are free to use linux as their OS?
A blockchain doesn't handle the supply chain problem very well because supply chains + blockchains suffer from the oracle problem. Blockchains don't know anything about information outside of their chain and need a trusted 3rd party - an oracle - to tell them about it.

Imagine you want to track eggs through the supply chain from farm to table. Ultimately the trust of your system is rooted in the farmer and various other organizations that are updating the state of these eggs in the chain. If they make up fake data, the system isn't trustworthy.

Typically the solution for this is to only let trusted players into the system and have some sort of organization - perhaps the government - that vets users of the system and penalizes those that enter fake data. In this case, the trust of your blockchain-egg-supply-chain-tracking system is rooted in the organization accrediting and inspecting users of the system. If that's the case, you're better off trusting that organization to run a traditional database. You shouldn't use a blockchain.
What happens when blockchain "databases" grow to multiple terrabytes or petabytes? This presents a huge barrier to spinning up a new validation (mining) node. Are there plans for sharding blockchains?
Why are you framing your question as though there aren't 10s of millions of Americans who live somewhere between "billionaire" and "poverty level". They are the <$100k household income level that are paying a bigger % of their income on taxes than Thiel ever will.

And unlike Thiel, they don't have access to accountants that can shuttle their cash away into tax shelters or lobbyists who will buy off politicians for peanuts to get them to vote for even more cuts.
Effectively, this is what is happening now AFAIK, as they're being ported over to .NET Core, which is open source.
The precondition here is, of course, incorrect. The latest Pew survey puts the percentage of Republicans who believe in anthropogenic climate change at about 25%.

I agree. I feel like most of the problem would be solved by allowing student debt to be erased by declaring bankruptcy. It's absurd that isn't the case.
Why do we encourage a group to vote who remind us daily about their inability to survey their options and make good decisions?
What's wrong with class="centered wide-margins light-bg"? It would do the same as what your .resources class looks like it might do, and it's supported everywhere already.
if someone's gonna invest in these idealistic projects, I'd rather see someone invest in tech cooperatives based on block-chain, or just employee cooperatives in general.
Having worked at Lockheed and seeing just how "Because profits, so FUCK YOU that's why" the defense industry works, I have little faith.

Further, what pisses me off, is how idealistic-yet-naive-and-downright-corruptible many very smart people can be.

Take for example the genius nerd who is empowered and elated at the acceptance and praise they might receive for being able to hack a system which ultimately results in the death of anonymous-to-them-other-human.

This happens in every culture.

Mental exploitation is just as insidious as sexual or physical exploitation.

This is where there is one fundamental thing lacking in all of technology, aside from Asimov: What are our first principles?

A freaking POST-BIOS requirement for any system might ultimately have to be a checkin with a prime-directive which tells it that regardless of whatever code you are running, you can't do XYZ.

We are all guilty of "wouldn't it be cool if" syndrome in tech.

What you can do in 'cool' video games, is not 100% mappable to meat-space.
Moore's law is dead, it's been dead for a while. All CPUs are going to continue to converge on the same performance. The only differentiation is the number of cores.

There are just so many poor bastards that spent lots of money on useless degrees.

It is kind of a problem in the marriage market, because more women go to college and end up with massive college debt, which makes them financially unattractive.
The same way American Express, Visa, the Automated Clearing House and your bank prevent rogue developers from updating/deleting your money: With internal security processes, threat of termination and ultimately the legal system.

OSINT Framework
Unless they somehow direct waste heat efficiently to maintain the orbit I can't see how you'd put enough up there that's useful.

There's a finite amount of bandwidth you could point down, you could use all that serving customers and link to another satellite not in that signal path and relay through that to a datacenter for a small rtt increase.

I bet there's some clever way you could use rtt from leo to geo orbit as a storage medium itself
Questions:

1. How do. you vet the vetters (or make sure they are any good)?
2. How do you assure that they actually vet? (I see how one could just always reject/accept candidates without really thinking about it and get $80 for effort of just clicking yes/no.)
> People would upload all their images without naming, tagging or organising them and the average quality of shot reduced

I have a Flickr Pro account and upload my photos set to private. If I find a good shot I set that to public or friends/family depending on the audience. I'm very aware that few people bother doing this, because -- I think -- the way most people take photos has changed. Most people now take way more photos than they used to thanks to mobile cameras, and curating all of it isn't viable. Most of my Flickr photos are private as a result -- because I've not had a chance to go through many of them.

Both Google Photos and iCloud Photos get this, and they try to solve it in slightly different ways -- but fundamentally both use an approach of "just take the photos and let us back it up and worry about surfacing the interesting photos".

I'm not sure Flickr today has the resources to do this. I still enjoy Flickr and its community and even have several hundred public photos of varying quality, but I mainly use it as a private/shared photo album. I like paying for a web-friendly service (which iCloud Photos isn't) that doesn't mess with my photos.
There are plenty of Windows shops out there using Windows servers.

Also the cloud is still a foreign word to many companies.

Finally, every time I have to touch Node eco-system it saddens me, npm gets several thousand modules for a plain Hello World and lets not pretend V8 is the same performance ballpark as using a strongly typed language that can be AOT/JIT to native code, with real multi-core support.

WCF support is in Core, we use it extensively to communicate to legacy systems. It is missing some features, like WCF Relays. As for hosting WCF services on Core, we've been trying to distance ourselves from WCF in favor of other technologies.

I thought maybe who (or what, if it was automated) was tracing the map from a satellite view got confused by the mangroves in the middle of the island, since its dark color does sort of look like the nearby ocean... but it doesn't explain the ocean shapes on the west side of the island (around Seven Mile Beach and in West Bay)... and I'd have thought there'd be some double checking against traditional maps at the higher level.

What's really interesting for me is at the beginning on launch of Apple Maps, there was only the major road and the airport marked, now most of the roads are there.. overplayed on top of the body mass which is still wrong. Its almost as if , while updating their road mapping to be more accurate, they have never in the past 5 years or so updated the shape of the land masses themselves
And that's an issue for Windows sysadmins. They are a commodity. They are cheap compared to Linux admins and are easily outsourced.
This seems almost too good to be true. One thing I find very striking is how it gets skin tones very plausible across people of different ethnicities (though the majority of subjects in the picture appear of european descent).

Unless a) my brain is applying more interpretation to these pictures than I realize or b) the author (intentionally or not) picked out pictures that show the best results

Good perspective. In my experience an engineering manager must be flexible. An engineering manager can really help the team excel by building productivity tools, prototyping new concepts documenting, or even fixing small bugs. With that, a manager should not let technical tasks get in the way of managerial duties.

I like the author's advice about not taking on work that may block your team. That is truly risky and can backfire. I've seen this firsthand -- But a manager absolutely must keep their head in the game technically. They need to be able to interface with other engineers and managers on a deeply technical level. They should have an awareness of their project's codebase that is best gained through being in it. An engineering manager without technical ability is a more like project manager.

In my org, I have seen the expectations of what a manager does shift quite a bit. With the addition of a tech lead role, it seems managers are silo'd into less technical, and less hands-on work. I feel that any sort of hard expectation or assigning percentages to management vs engineering time is ignoring the nuances of team dynamics, and individual personalities. A manager who can also effectively contribute code should do that. Likewise, an engineer who can boost team morale, mentor, help recruit/staff the team should. Take a look at the team dynamics and determine what mix works.
