Just moved from Iowa to the Bay a couple months ago. You're right, they know. From the federal level on down to the local, everyone knows that immigrant labor keeps rural communities going in Iowa.

It's the worst kept political secret in the state, and I'd guess other states too.

When an immigration raid occured in Postville, Iowa in May of 2008, it devastated the local economy. The chief executive of the plant was actually charged and convicted on other crimes (commuted by President Trump last year). The city council called it an economic and humanitarian crisis.

Residents of the two counties Postville resides in voted almost 2 to 1 for President Trump.
I wonder if the presence of gravity effects the way holes are drilled on the microscopic level
>If you find that someone forgot their car door open, do you deserve money for not telling thieves where you can find a car with an open door?

Conversely, if you accuse the person who tells you the door is open of stealing from you and threaten to call the police, should you really be surprised if next time that happens they tell someone, maybe in exchange for a cut of the profit?

Either Mozilla has been infiltrated by malicious actors or the modern crop of web-focused developers are so numb to current status quo of mass ads and tracking that they are unable to see alternatives or understand why people would be upset.

I find it a bit bizarre.
I agree 100%. Political terms of today only serve a purpose of saying "them, not me", often with disrespectful connotation.

I believe the same with the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative', and I've been interested in writing a blog to explain myself. Essentially, everyone is both liberal and conservative. Every day we make decisions that stereotypically fit both of these labels, yet we entirely ignore it.

If a "conservative" is someone who conserves product and tradition and resists change, then wouldn't a a hippy protecting a forest from bulldozing be a conservative? Portland OR is going through growing pains right now because the locals (majority self proclaim as 'liberals') are being kicked out due to high rent. Wouldn't resisting this change be a conservative move?

If an overweight 'conservative' buys a pallet of soda because Walmart has a bulk sale, are they liberal because they're buying a lot, or conservative because they're getting a slight discount thus saving money? If neither political parties (D/R) want to actually reduce our debt, aren't they both 'liberal'?

[Edit: and if defining a person as (l/c) simply means they live a life that's more than half one or the other, then that will beg the question: how do you even begin to quantify this crap? Simply put... You can't. Use better words.]

My point is that these terms don't make as much sense as we like to think they do. We need to start using better and more descriptive terms to describe our politics.
I told my son I would never be made at him for a mistake, then he mistakenly tried to kick my hand while wrestling and his heel nailed my jaw and I bit hard into my bottom lip.

I was so mad ;)

But generally, yeah, I talk to him about stuff and go over consequences and empathy and such, and I agree it works pretty well.

I expect that they would see even stronger results if their population were in a developing country. Flat design shifts the processing load for the user interface from the designer to the user, and it depends heavily on the user being used to computing interfaces so that they can guess correctly.
Of the top of my head I can't remember a single big online thing targeting consumers that Germany does. The US has google, facebook, twitter etc, so rather than say Germany has figured out how to do tech in a small town, I would rather think it is accurate for Germany not to have figured out the tech at all.

I know they make cars with electronics in them, but honestly I haven't seen a car with electronics that fundamentally changed how most people approached anything (Cruise Control is nice; self-driving would be a fundamental game changer), Apple and Google have done so in my life time.
This is all in all a bad way of talking about things. Flat vs. traditional is in the title. I think this can't be taken seriously, and that you all should know better. No time to read this in full, but they start by comparing windows 8 and windows 7 - so the problem is not the functional redesign, no, the problem is that it's flat? What is this

> Meaningful work is not about fulfilling someone's dreams or them "becoming entrenched in the doing of it".

In the Graeber "hell is a collection of individuals who are spending the bulk of their time working on a task they don't like and are not especially good at" sense, it literally is exactly this. It all kicked off with an article whose most concrete example was a former musician who had failed to sell enough albums to not end up as a corporate lawyer instead, but remained convinced his music provided more value to a society that hadn't shown much interest in paying for it.

I suspect pretty much everyone who failed to have a successful music career and subsequently ended up on a production line at a farm, as Graeber puts it in his original litmus test for bullshit jobs "rant about how pointless and stupid their job is" if asked about it at parties. And for that matter I'm also sure there are a whole bunch of people flogging zero-insight reports to the network they made at business school that genuinely believe what they do is extremely valuable to society, even if they never get repeat customers. So the claim that the meaningfulness of work is better defined by the employee than the employer is far from convincing.

I doubt many bright graduates disillusioned with their inability to make much difference to how their corporate employer operates and convinced some of the decisions they're required to implement are counterproductive (yep, I know that feeling well) would start considering the work they performed meaningful if they were redeployed to pressing buttons on a food production line, even if their link in the food production chain directly stopped hundreds of meals from premature decomposition every day. It might even make some of them nostalgic for micromanaging task allocations, whiteboarding brand values, taking this week's compliance course and politely telling the customer to try turning it off and on again. After all, Marx's theory of alienation which Graeber updated for the service industry was entirely focused on people who actually directly contributed to making stuff whilst still feeling useless, powerless and disassociated from what they actually made.

The irony is that there actually is a vast literature out there on principal-agent and adverse selection problems in the workplace, positional goods, regulatory capture etc means that employers might actually pay for services which don't increase their output, but this gets far less currency than Graeber really all about "the ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger"; a theory which doesn't survive contact with reality.
Engineering was supposed to maintain the current software, but they (engineering) chose to deprecate it and make a new version from scratch. It is just taking way longer than expected, three years and just a fraction of the original functionality.

This seems like a key issue. It's time to evaluate progress on the re-write and work out what to do next, with all options on the table (including re-focussing on the old software, or even starting afresh with a "version 3").

Are there any people in the engineering group who have been doing non-trivial bits of work on the old software? It may be worth cultivating these people and taking their opinions seriously, even if it ends up putting other (perhaps more senior) noses out of joint within the engineering group.
Does anyone if windows update use some DHT protocol too? It has an option to share windows updates with other computers.
We go long-ish periods without speaking. We have that kind of lifelong friendship where we just pick up wherever we left off. He lives in London, I live on the south coast, so we only really speak when I'm in London for work and I stay over at his place. That's usually relatively frequent, but I wasn't going up much at that specific time. I should also say that he's not particularly good at organising these things and usually totally ignores his birthday, so it wasn't a huge party. Still stung though!
Good luck with your project. I love the transparency. Makes me think I should do something similar.

First criticism (if I follow you, I'm sure I'll have others ;-): When I first clicked through, I saw a box in the lower right-hand corner asking me to sign up for you newsletter (I think). My knee-jerk reaction to that (not just on your site but everywhere) is "Byte me! I don't even know if I find you interesting, why should I sign up?" and dismissed the box. Now that I find you interesting, I can't see a way to sign up for your newsletter.

<Turns to the rest of the crowd> So what is a good UX to have someone sign up for your newsletter? I understand the reason for the Call To Action, but asking for a CTA before I even know if I like you is irritating. Similarly if I don't find you interesting and leave the web viewport to close the window, having a CTA irritates me as well. Or am I just a grouchy old man and that's just the way it is?
OK, to be fair, maybe I should have said "almost totally meaningless". But I still contend that they are terms that convey very little intrinsic meaning, and have become pejoratives more than anything else.
I managed to get invoices paid simply by calling and emailing a duplicate. Sometimes these are complexities of large organizations, sometimes laziness that needs a jolt to action, and even among crooks there are levels of crookdom.
That would suggest that it is not worth it for people who are only going to make a small amount of money over minimum income to move to SF, and that they shouldn't.

Alternatively, put a tax on rental income then use that to found more buildings. I am not a fan of taxes, but since rents will always expand they aren't a bad subject to tax.
It's nice, but a quick comparison in VSCode shows me that I still prefer Fira Code to Courier Prime Code.
Yeah, a one(-or-more)-process-per-widget approach is exactly how I'd envision an Erlangy GUI framework (and is effectively how ordinary Tk works, except with tasks/events processed by an event loop instead of Erlang's preemptive multitasking). Scenic looks like a great starting point in that direction.

I wonder how Wings3D does things? I'd imagine it uses wxWidgets, but I never actually thought to check...
I hadn't watched it but thanks to this I am gonna watch it now.
He is most likely taxed for some of these benifits otherwise it would be a major loop hole.

His gym membership is probably not taxed as the government want to promote good health, but he has to pay tax for the car, free lunches etc.
> A lot of the complaining you hear from Swedish people is because they haven't really experienced anything different. They have no idea how comfortable life is here (still). As a parent, I can barely fathom raising a child in the US for instance. Even the best companies will give you 4 months paid time off, if you're one of the lucky few working for FAANG. What the hell do you even do with a 4 month old after that time's up? They can't fucking even crawl yet. Not to mention the healthcare situation. The relief to just be able to walk into any hospital and just give your person number, and everything is just taken care of. No $20k bill because the hospital is out of your coverage or whatever.

FAANG employees are essentially the top rung of benefits in the US.
The hole was sealed with glue initially. Temperature change in orbit eventually made it brittle and fall out, so the loss in pressure was only detected in orbit, but not prior to launch.
At least it wasn't drilled from the outside..
This is a treasure trove of wisdom. Thank you for sharing. The challenge I have is my hard wiring for anger with pain. I'm a goofy dad but when my toddler swings his skull full speed into my jaw, a spark ignites something in me and my civilized brain can muster one thing: put him down, go to the garage, and kick a garbage can. Otherwise I have this uncorked rage and I feel scared with it.

I'm not proud of it but I acknowledge that it's in my wiring.
Is there a reason to keep doing that? I mean what is the point in reimplementing Chromium as Firefox? Shouldn't they just fork Chromium and stop wasting resources chasing it? And focus those resources on something that can give them competitive advantage over Google.
Absolutely. The book is essentially about communication strategies, presented in a way that relates to negotiation. But the strategies are useful in so many contexts. We actually negotiate all the time, any time we’re settling a difference of opinion, ask for something, have something asked of us, we usually end up negotiating. My girlfriend and I both use the strategies any time we ‘argue’ or disagree, because they’re really just about communicating towards and amicable outcome.
> 1) Store data and 2) Branch

This accords with my intuition from seeing that things like SKI combinators and ELF relocation headers are Turing complete. However, I'm interested in whether there is any theoretical justification for that particular breakdown of features.

That’s an interesting point - I haven’t been thinking about quick stuff. If honestly just do something without a server side if that’s an option? E.g. just use coredata on iOS.

Interesting choice of Rust - why that over Scala or Haskell?
I switched 100% from Firefox to Brave, once I discovered: All my Chromium extensions work great (including 1Password); they fixed pdf.js so it now works properly on PDFs behind auth (in the Beta); and the Wildvine component (which is optional and opt-in) works great with Netflix.
Yes, it is censorship that respects local traditions.
But I believe you could make "Mouseman Joins The Pirate Party" and use drawings based on (or directly lifted from) Steamboat Willy itself, no?

Alright, we edited the title to clarify that.
I'm not convinced such artifacts add anything of significant probable value over what's already implied by a sophisticated space probe of obviously unnatural origin, should it be discovered intact by aliens.
You are not in charge of “overstepping.” If dictators don’t stop free speech, a revolution will happen, and the country will go to shit. I have already given the precondition that the country is a dictatorship.

We have the U.S.S.R., Arab Spring, and the French Revolution as fine examples of the country going to shit.

If you’re a dictator and want to transition your country to democracy (I’m not sure why you’d call that morally good, but let’s go with it), you don’t make the first thing you do to allow free speech. Free speech shouldn’t come until after you have elections.
This must be a facetious comment. You don't see how it being only banned in Saudi Arabia is not as bad as Saudi Arabia complaining and having it taken down worldwide?

Plus, Saudia Arabia is not known as a bastion of personal liberty. But that's besides the point; they are completely entitled to perform censorship within their own borders. It's simply your opinion (which I happen to agree with, but it is not a fact nonetheless) that it's bad for them to have censored it within their own country.
The government is literally shut down at the moment over a purely partisan divide, and you're trying to make a "they're all the same" point? Seriously?
I once did some work at an insurance company and they had some systems problems slowing down payouts etc. There was a room full of people specifically tasked with fobbing off clients. The magic words were, "I want to make an official complaint." They now had 48 hours to fix the problem or they had to register the complaint with the regulator... and they didn't want that to happen. If that happened you were passed to a professional complaint handler who would move heaven and earth to get things settled before then.

I have since managed to change the tone of several conversations to regulated industries with that phrase!

Now make a GDPR request at the same time... that seems to get you answers too

This is just design thinking reformulated. The problem with most of these principles is that they are extremely vague and are what good designers who design do anyway as a function of what they are buildning. Its very hard to do the not-test without ending with almost 100% score.

This offers no solution with regards to the transendence between the principles and the output. And reads to me just like marketing material for a process which will cost you way more than it will ever solve.
For enterprise networks, you can still analyze the pattern of packets to match fingerprints of C2 traffic. There are solutions such as Cisco's Encrypted Traffic Analytics, that do just this: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/Camp...

Maybe, but my best guess is they've been 'infiltrated' by people with absolutely no ideological commitment to what Mozilla has traditionally stood for and instead view it as "just another job". Probably people with a stronger marketing background than anything else.

I think it's the best explanation for shit like this or the "mr robot tie in." These sort of advertisements aren't the sort of ideas a software developer with a commitment to free software and privacy would think up. These are the sort of ideas that come from people with a marketing background. I doubt these were bottom-up ideas, the order almost certainly came from the top down. I hate to say it but Mozilla's upper and middle management probably need to be gutted if this kind of crap is ever going to stop, and I doubt that will happen.
Because much of the best comedy is about real life, which often involves politics.

Why is drawing sharp criticisms being conflated with not being able to talk about something. Obviously he’s been heard, the response just isn’t positive and he offers little evidence for his conclusion on such a controversial topic.

It seems strange to call a place of origin a "brand". Is "Ameican" as in (for instance) "American car" a "brand"?

Marrying 5G networks with Interledger
Hello folks,

I'm a Software Engineer based in Boston and I've been dabbling with Interledger for a few months now.

So I have a use-case for Interledger and wanted to request your comments on it. My idea is similar to what the people at coil.com are doing.

Basically, Coil requires that you have a Chrome extension running on your browser for them to be able to make donations to websites.

Problem is, most lay-people don't know what browser add-ons are, and they don't care about installing add-ons. Most people don't even use AdBlock.

And even if browsers support natively support micro-payments like Brave, consumers will need to continually reload their browser-based wallets.

TLDR; it's not dumb enough for the average internet user.

But what if we had carrier-level support for micropayments?

Consumers pay an extra $10 a month on top of their regular bill and mobile carriers pay the websites small amounts to view their content. Websites with ads get paid a lot less because loading ads and trackers consumes a lot of data.

Please see
https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160317/09274333934/why-are-people-using-ad-blockers-ads-can-eat-up-to-79-mobile-data-allotments.shtml

I was thinking of coming up with a white-label Interledger solution for mobile carriers that hooks onto the Open 5G Core.

Similar to what Synchronoss does with their white-label cloud solution for carriers. Please see https://synchronoss.com/products/cloud/personal-cloud-solution/

Thanks!!
