> Part of me wonders who is pushing the globalist agenda.

Makes sense for the ultra rich, who can indirectly or directly influence media narratives.

They need workers for jobs that no one wants to do and keep the labor pool large enough to deflate salaries.

Meanwhile they're buying New Zealand property just in case "the event" happens.

The only uncertainty is whether "the event" is a war or a communist revolution.

"Compromise" on location? Some locations are zoned so they have no hotels/Airbnb at all, so if you want to be in a convenient place, especially without a car, you can only get Airbnb. If you add up all the costs of a trip, you absolutely save money.
> the feature is there to help keep the plane stable

And we don't want that?

> You can drive your car without cruise control

Sure, because cruise control is there to allow me to be lazy, not to keep my car on the road.

The aircraft has handling deficiencies at high angles of attack due to the engines being mounted differently. The MCAS is there to correct this. It's this or redesign the plane. Only 2 things that could have helped: an angle of attack disagree light to warn the pilots of the issue, and to to retrain the pilots. The first was sold just as an optional package, the second was considered unneeded since Boeing treated the new plane as a perfect equivalent of its predecessor. Disabling the MCAS is not a fix and without it the plane is not certified to fly.

Hey - I'm Rob who started OPL back in 2008. I'm personally fascinated with One Page websites and how designers/developers tell a story within them but I can safely say Single Page websites are not for everyone. I am absolutely not trying to convince every use-case to use a One Page website instead of multi-page. The essence of a One Page website starts with identifying attention spans are diminishing online. You get to the point with the perfect amount of text and imagery. An example I always use is traditionally people want a dedicated testimonials page with 12 testimonials. One Pagers encourage selecting your top testimonials only that highlight your product/service features. This effort organically creates a better website, and in-turn helps with better conversions. It's all about getting to the point with your message.
Please don't make more one page websites, every single one I come across fails me in one way or another and makes my job as a user more difficult.
The maths is way beyond my level, but I think it's rather amazing that they were, given a presumably random permutation, able to figure out the algorithm that generated it. I'd like to read more about how that was done --- did they just try different algorithms until they found a match?

This reminds me of the story around the DES s-boxes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard#NSA's...

To me, the possibility of a backdoor in these GOST algorithms seems just as likely as the possibility that the structure was chosen carefully to strengthen them against a type of attack that is still classified.
It's the same NIMBYism and real-estate-related corruption ring in many large cities that should be upended. If they don't even care about reasonble-cost housing for their own residents, even less so will they care about reasonable-cost lodging for guests.
Microsoft is one of the best companies in this regard. They have a very clear moonlighting policy that the tl;dr is "anything after hours, made using 100% of your own resources, is yours".

That "100% your own resources" part is key, Microsoft provides a lot of free software. Employees working on their own projects have a "clean" setup that has never touched anything provided by Microsoft. Desktop/laptop, accessories, mobile phones, and so forth.

Heck Microsoft has on occasion promoted apps and tools made by its employees on their own time.

That other companies aren't like this confuses me.

There are rules against working on products that directly complete with existing Microsoft products, for obvious reasons, but aside from that, there aren't any real constraints.

(I've had plenty of friends at MS working on side projects that pulled in anywhere from hundreds to thousands a month, those projects tended to be written against MS technology stacks and made the MS Ecosystem better by their existence, why in the world wouldn't Microsoft want that to happen?)
This is also how they teach manual transmission drivers in the relatively flat UK (where manual is the default option).
Depends on the patent and the application. Could be stupid simple but save a company 0.01$ per “item” and when you make millions of “item” a year that adds up. So it’s entirely based on how the patent can be applied.
Indeed, nano's interface is easily discoverable. Vi(m) gives some hints, and emacs... the tutorial is kinda amazing but takes hours to get through.

From past start-up legal experience... it depends on the state.
In some/many states, an employer unilaterally changing compensation for a portion of an employment agreement, without asking employees to resign an updated contract, would render those portions of the agreement null and void.

Some states have employment laws against certain non-compete and [iirc] blanket IP assignment clauses. In those states, even if employees sign to those clauses, they are still void according to state law.
Nano is perfect for the casual terminal user, it does its job fine when editing an apache server config file once in a while. But when working on the terminal all day, there's no way around vim, IMO. It's good to memorize some basics (save, quit, search & replace) of vim, because there's always a system where only vi is installed (e.g. ESXi).
I'm pretty sure there can be a "birthday paradox" variant of attack on genetics with respect to finding cold cases.

How many people need to voluntarily submit to genetic databases before cold cases can be connected easily across the population?

Even though it's easy to discuss "criminals", we also should be discussing genetic privacy rights alongside that. My own mother went through 23andme and had her genome mapped. Half of those genetics belong to me, yet 23andme didn't come to me for any sorts of permission. As far as I'm concerned, half of my data is in their database with absolutely no consent from me. (Nor have I ever submitted my dna for any of these companies.)

What am I to do about that? From where I sit, not a damned thing. If I wanted to have the data that I share with my mom, I too would have to submit to a full dna mapping. And along with that, what of the ML training of the disease questions? How do I not only purge my data, and sanitize their model from that data? I'm just not seeing it.

There actually is a known issue with using vim in tmux on macOS. From the Alacritty README [1]:

> This appears to be an issue outside of terminal emulators; either macOS has an IPC performance issue, or either tmux or vim (or both) have a bug. This same issue can be seen in iTerm2 and Terminal.app. I've found that if tmux is running on another machine which is connected to Alacritty via SSH, this issue disappears. Actual throughput and rendering performance are still better in Alacritty.

Bad sensor data was represented as accurate sensor data. It is easy to solve some problem you know is occurring, it is hard to solve a problem where something weird happens and the data in front of you is telling you that what you think is happening is not what is happening. ("I think we're stalling." "Nah, the sensor that directly measures that says we're not." "Hmm, what else could it be? Get me the checklist" crash)

It shocks me that the redundant angle of attack sensor and the "disagree" light is not standard equipment. Who is buying multi-million dollar airplanes and cares about the cost of an angle of attack sensor and a lamp? Not people that care about safety, that's for sure. I know the airline industry loves nickel-and-diming their customers, but safety equipment is a little more important than priority boarding and a checked bag. It is shameful that Boeing adopted that business model.

More on angle of attack sensors: https://www.flightliteracy.com/angle-of-attack-indicators/. If you fly GA, you should get one. Having a readout of the flight energy you have available is one of the greatest safety upgrades you can make.

I'd imagine a factor in the rising rates in developing nations is the due to the fact that 40%+ of global tobacco sales come from state owned firms. China's state owned China Tobacco company is the world's largest tobacco company and earns profits in excess of $16 Billion annually. Very little incentive to cut smoking rates when smoking is contributing billions to state coffers.
In any large-ish organization, you probably don't do this on a production machine. You absolutely do not do it if you aren't the person (or on the team) who will get called/paged if it breaks, or you're probably risking your job if the package manager goes sideways or you flub it up and let the package manager throw in a couple of extra upgrades or whatever.
Wow. An engineer that brings innovation is now to blame. The work is something that more or less everyone can do, innovation? Not for everyone. How many patents does an engineer release on average?

It's evident that the company doesn't give a damn about innovation any longer. It starts with "hey we need great people with great ideas" then it degrades to "we need people". What do companies like this really expect? Einstein? Edison? Sometimes innovation comes in multiple steps. Look at the list of most prolific innovators, they thought about stuff that we would consider useless at least. Still, the patents are there. This company, specifically, doesn't seem to value all ideas. They should simply stop this bogus program.

Look at IBM, it's the company with the highest amount of patents in the US (AFAIK). Do they all count? Are they all comparable to the invention of the telephone? How many other inventions were needed before that? This engineer released a lot of patents, and it seems that now, yes after 30 ideas, he had a very valuable one - which means for the company maybe some million dollars.

Why so late??? That's how progress works.

Why? It seems pretty good to me.

I did a little googling and it seems, that if you patent something that benefits your company, they can license it from you, and if they patent something you invent, then they have to pay you a revenue share. If they try and fuck you after a disclosure, then you get to keep the patent.
> Which just means the persistent can just find a state to incorporate in that is just a little bit more lax than the others

At that point, set up in Latvia. Generally speaking, companies incorporated outside Delaware or the state they’re physically in get extra scrutiny. Also, if your only check before issuing payment is looking at the entity’s name, that’s more the problem than anything else.
This is only partially true.

You are talking about Arbeitnehmererfindungen and those only belong to the employer if they are created on company time or if they are related to the work (Diensterfindung) every other invention belongs to the inventor (freie Erfindung) see §18 arbnerfg (3) althought you have to submit the invention to your employer if it could be related to the work (1-2)

Having used all three of those languages, I've commented on this before.

Go is mediocre as a a language, but it has one big edge - if you're doing web backend stuff, the libraries for that are the ones used internally by Google. So they're being executed billions of times per second on Google servers and tend to be well behaved. Python tends to have multiple libraries for basic functions like the database interface, all with different bugs. If you write web backend stuff in Go, it will probably work.

Having suffered through the Python 2 to 3 transition, I'm less of a Python fan than I used to be. At some point, they need to stop adding features. Currently, Python is acquiring unchecked "type hints", which look like a terrible idea. Optional typing, sure, but unchecked type hints? If the compiler enforced them, they might be worth something. (And no, running a separate type checking tool is not the answer. Especially since no such tool exists that's production grade and in sync with the language.)

Rust has no idea when to stop adding features. Rust started as an imperative language and then morphed into a semi-functional language. Mostly to get a sane error handling model. The borrow checker was a brilliant innovation, though. I used Rust for a while, but quit about two years ago in disgust. I never want to hear "that only compiles in nightly" again.
Eh, no. I said nothing about changing the speed limit or anything else. Stop putting words into my mouth.

Some routers have hardware NAT for TCP, but use the CPU for UDP.

Also, some routers prioritize all UDP packets because they treat them as VoIP. Then all TCP suffers.

Some service providers traffic shape UDP because uTorrent uses it (UTP) on random port numbers.

If you're assigning them different roles, then that's actually a matter of what information is relevant for the role, not whether the applicant is autistic or not. If it's your support hypothesis, then the apparent relevance is due purely to the discontinuity in your "support function", so to speak. (Where some people need the support more than others, but only some are judged properly autistic and so receive it.) If it's a case where you can make the support available to everyone, with people just using less of it as needed, or if you can otherwise remove the discontinuity, then the problem goes away.
It sounds you're missing out on the existence of many companies making do without such clauses if you think someone not accepting them can't be working in tech.

At the time of the second crash it wasn't as clear what the likely culprit was. If it was believed to be a defect with the aircraft at that time then most other countries would have already grounded them by then. I think that's a bad argument to make as well, but not for those reasons.

> Big expenses are going to be similar, or even cheaper due to the lower VAT. Electronics, vehicles, transportation, travel/vacation, broadband...

These are not big expenses. Buying real estate is. And the price per square meter in Zurich is twice higher than in Berlin, making the difference in salary neglectable.

It's obvious that working in Switzerland makes buying things produced in the rest of the world look cheaper. But if a house in Zurich costs 1 mln, and a house in Berlin costs 0.5 mln, one needs to work no less to be able to afford it.

Therefore, someone making 100k in Berlin can easily have a similar quality of life as someone making 160-200k in Zurich.
Fair point. However, they're prior discussions of Morris' campaign against Kuhn (I think it's fair to call it a campaign, since he's been doing it for years), so relevant links in this context.

sounds to me like one couldn't do anything creative in their spare time. Even a picture painted would belong to their employer.

Fortunately it seems that most things like this are relatively unenforceable, but IMHO it's still a good idea to keep anonymity/"firewall" what is done on company time from everything else. Don't publish non-work-time material under an identity that could be traced back to your real identity with the company, for example.

This is excellent. I'm not sure if this functionality is present, but one thing that would be cool would be some kind of dependency graph for knowledge. For example I can get through the euclidean geometry section without much knowledge of algebra and vice versa, but to understand trig I expect I would need to have taken both. It would be cool to be able to select trig and say "I already know euclidean geometry" and have it say "Then you need to take Algebra as a prerequisite"

Taken at face value, it's much worse than that. All the family photos he has taken, that novel on the back of his mind he wanted to write, that poem he wrote for his wife's birthday, the all belong to the company now. If he made a personal sex tape for his and his wife's enjoyment, the company can request it and sell it online or upload it to PornHub at their sole discretion.

There is no way in hell I would ever sign such a clause, unless there is literally life and death on the line.

Another anecdata: I work on autonomous driving tech and I now drive stick. Getting into a company full of gearhead geeks contributed to that a lot I guess ;)

When I learned how to drive it was auto only, and In the US, trying to switch from auto to stick is a classic catch-22 if you don't have really good friends. However if you can somehow get yourself bootstrapped (YouTube videos, racing sims, plus maybe an hour or two with a friend) to the point where you can practice yourself in an empty parking lot you should be good to go.
Yes, I apply to a higher proportion of full-time jobs and get some interviews (say about 10% from applications) from them.

I don't get offers from full-time jobs. I only get a few from short contracts. And if I apply to full-time jobs exclusively I would get no offers at all.

An Engineer is not bound to produce squat for you outside of what you ask him to during his work hours.

I encourage most junior devs to keep their projects to themselves in fact. Weaponization of patents ethically demands it.

From reading about said company's treatment of this engineer in particular, they are simply reaping what they've sown. Marginalize your engineers, or try to catch them out with legal maneuvering (which is what most employment contracts now are intended as) when you first hire them to hedge your bets at being able to claim something down the line, and this is what you get.

Edward Demmings says one of the keys to Quality is to maintain and foster An environment in which the craftsman's pride in his work can flourish.

Blanket claims to IP and marginalized patents are not that.
