The answer is yes.

We can estimate the severity of the negative consequences of mass surveillance and censorship across the entire country or globe and compare that to the smaller number of isolated, but perhaps more severe cases of evil. We can then choose which we predict will be the better state to live in.

Here in America we do that with guns. We do that with cars. We do that with natural gas accessible in the house. We do that with electrical lines that may sometimes get damaged and kill someone.

The answer is yes, we can say that the cost of mass surveillance and censorship is too high to pay for a little safety. If that means that someone I love is killed, or my home is broken into, then so be it. It will be tragic. It will hurt. But at least we will be free.
> to a very Western

You meant American, because in the UK the front-line treatment for depression or anxiety is a talking therapy, coupled with social prescribing (which to be fair has variable availability), and then medication if indicated.

OP talks about a long term prescription for clonazepam, and current advice is that long term benzo use must be avoided.

This is roughly what it's like for me, too, as a vegetarian of over 20 years. I wouldn't say it grosses me out, personally. It's more that that, after many, many years of eating food with much brighter flavors, it would seem that that whole corner of the flavor spectrum just isn't palatable to me anymore.

We've noticed an interesting phenomenon among kids in vegetarian families: Preschoolers who will literally fight each other over things that their peers typically avoid like the plague, like broccoli or tofu, but, if you give them a meal with some sort of realistic fake meat in it, they will diligently pick around it.

Hold on here, kernels do not run as a separate process. And there is no task switch, just a privilege level switch.

A kernel may or may not exist in a separate address space depending on hardware and software features (e.g. the arm split paging regime or the meltdown mitigations). It's just that the kernel memory is not accessible to userspace code.

The author in the article focuses only on one-half of the metrics within a given process, the lagging results. There is another whole dimension to performance metrics which is the causal dimension, your leading metrics or leading indicators.

You can only effectively use a lagging indicator–such as time to restore–once you understand the activities that make up the world of restoring service. Does the product have an SOP document? Is there monitoring in place to alert technicians quickly? What is the training level of your employees? Are your employees empowered and engaged? All of these things matter far more than lagging outputs.

Sure, we can disparage lagging indicators all day, but we can't throw them out just because they can be gamed. You have to push deeper and that requires time, process knowledge, and building a healthy working environment.

I had no idea the impact of benzo's but my first thought after reading the OP and experiencing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) myself, "Isn't that just a band-aid, not really treating the 'wound'".

I guess I'm just agreeing with you from a philosophical point of view.

For what's its worth for anyone (including OP) reading this, I found success in studying philosophy as a poor man's CBT especially Existentialism. I think an argument could be made that these two things are the same thing but represented slightly different language and with slightly different goals.
Thanks, will give it a go then.

Lupita Nyong'o in Us Re-Imagined by Deep Dream AI
Back at Workpop, an hourly jobs website, we actually observed a negative correlation between educational attainment and getting interviews. This was from data that did not use a recommender system at all, so it lacked the serious confounding “feedback loop” that may occur in TripleByte’s case.

After comparing to a much smaller set of broad-market resumes, it was clear that you’re right: people using online job finding tools are actually shut out, for some reason, from conventional job channels where the intuitive rules apply.

But yes, obviously there’s something wrong with the data if the salary gap observed was so small. I generally like TripleByte and its writing, but it seems like they really got something 200% wrong here.

> There's a small subset of the population for whom meat consumption is some kind of cultural statement

If we're talking about the global population I'd say it's more than a small subset and it's not a cultural "statement", it's just culture.

People in Mexico aren't going to eat fake lengua or carnitas. Doro wat with fake chicken? Anything grilled or bbq'd. Sashimi, sushi...

People have been eating some of this stuff for hundreds if not thousands of years. I think it's a very Americentric view to suggest that people are going to stop eating their traditional foods in favor of fake meat.

This might be the case to some degree in Western first world countries but even there, I don't see people in the mid-west giving up real steak anytime soon.
It’s classified the same as other confidential information. There was a senior detective fired because she mishandled the same class of info on a case, so yeah there are serious consequences for breaking these rules. It’s not at all like corporate policies.
Presumably there’s still overhead involved in being part of the WireGuard organization, no? If there wasn’t, then the only difference between being in it and not is branding.

More importantly, without having already tried it, it’s hard to predict how much overhead there will be.

Since CloudFlare had a (self-imposed) deadline, working fast had to take priority over optics. After all, the project can always be folded into the WireGuard organization later.

Hey, I think there is something wrong with the form for Support Engineer, APAC (https://boards.greenhouse.io/gitlab/jobs/4225274002) A lot of the drop down selections don't have any options. I've tried FireFox, Chrome and Safari to make sure it wasn't a browser issue.
find another job offer that is willing to pay you what you feel you are worth and then approach your CEO and ask for the raise stating why you feel you deserve higher compensation. If they flat out turn you down, then state that you have another situation that is willing to pay you what you feel is fair compensation for your services but also state reasons why you'd rather stay working there.

If they still aren't trying to give you what you want, than say thank you for the great experience working there but you must go where you receive the most benefits.

Also its worth asking for compensation in vested preferential stock if you anticipate there being a substantial increase in the company's evaluation down the road. Though remember that you have to actually buy the stocks out of pocket when the time comes to execute your stock option. Which if you are barely covering your overhead now you should be careful anticipating actually having access to the money at that later date
> You went from “how can I be clearer” to deciding my criteria for clarity are not relevant in this discussion because we are not arguing free vs. paid. I thought that was exactly what we were discussing based on my original question.

You were asking about free vs. paid in a way that would provide no value to the discussion except to discredit a particular anecdote. But that's a distraction from the real problem, the inability to get good support, and that anecdote was just an example and not necessary as proof.

I say your criteria are irrelevant because the answer doesn't change the root complaint at all.

> Especially paid users who generally are too busy adding value to complain.

Adding value to what? I have doubt in that argument for email which usually costs a couple dollars a month. It's not a thousand dollar product that excludes amateurs. And the problem is not the typical user, it's the one that gets banned suddenly. If that happens the more value you're making by doing business over email, the worse it gets!

And none of your points about gmail being useful are relevant to support either.
I've been in the situation where I was able to build a team with salaries 20-30% over market. It was great while things were great, but after the commercial side of the business went to hell, the higher salaries kept a bunch of unmotivated people from seeking greener pastures. Double-edged sword to be sure.

For the particular extreme religious community (almost cult) I grew up in, meat eating was a sin (more or less). Financial support for a company wasn't really a big deal, it was more about keeping their bodies "pure" for God. I even knew a rancher who raised cattle to sell, but wouldn't eat any kind of animal products himself.
> Your statement is completely anecdotal and carries no weight without the references.

I don't see you asking other people to reference the stuff they're coming out with.
If a person is self aware enough to know they need to be micromanaged than maybe they could request more hands on management. I think one of the points of the article is that many managers assume there is a need for micromanagement and over all that type of management is demotivating and hurts productivity and creativity. I’d argue most people want to do good work if their needs are met and they are in the right environment
> the only way we can meaningfully address environmental or ethical concerns, is by doing it through the economy.

Well, that or by abolishing capitalism. Which we'll have to do anyway, given that "there's no competitive advantage in not wrecking the planet."

But yeah if we can get everyone to switch to Impossible burgers that could definitely buy us some time. :)

It really don't think there is when it gets to "Nazi" level bad. But that isn't really a debate worth having.

>I think it's easier to just prevent the situation happening altogether.

Why is surveillance the line you are drawing? We are all fucked if the US government goes the route of the Nazis. Having the ability to tap into some extra municipal surveillance cameras isn't going to make or brake their control.

>We don't need arbitrarily powerful surveillance to function as a society

Sure, but no one is yet proposing arbitrarily powerful surveillance. You are going slippery slope here. Low level surveillance has value just like the Polish government having an accurate picture of their citizenry has value. The question is whether the present value of the information is outweighed by the remote possibility that the information can be abused by a corrupt power. That remote possibility alone shouldn't be the deciding factor or else we should be against any form of governmental power including having a military any more powerful than a local militia.
What is the addressable market, and possible valuation you believe that Impossible would achieve? and when?
I don't think there's anything wrong with this question. What's a better way to ask?
Counterpoint, some years ago I was offered 2014 MBPr at work and thought I'd give it a try. It lasted a good 6 months until I decided the pain was too much and came back to what I was used to on a Dell XPS + Linux.

Great point: let’s have an honest and fact-based discussion. This blog post isn’t that. Turn up at a council meeting and tell the elected politicians that you don’t want to be spied on. Make the police defend their use of the footage. Convince others to agree with you. That’s democracy and at this level of government it works pretty well.

Having lived in Seattle and knowing several software engineers at various companies, I would have to say Triplebyte's numbers are being inflated by the FAANG companies. I have one friend at Microsoft that is making probably 160 to 180ish right now, and another friend at a startup that is making between 80 and 100. Most other engineers make around what you've been offered. I really would take Triplebyte's numbers with a grain of salt.

Intriguing project! I think you've settled on a useful set of tools as Rust can be embedded readily in another language or runtime system while still providing memory safety with a modern language features without dealing with C++ or impossible FFI scenarios. Personally I see the "X in Rust" of a lot of projects of late as a "oh I could be reasonably confident in building something solid on top of that quickly without shooting myself in the foot by messing up a C library API". It seems Rust provides a good ecosystem to implement reusable core primitives. I've been exploring how to use some simpler parts of Prolog/DatalSC in a library, which this project targets almost perfectly. Looking forward to reading how you implemented the core prolog algorithms!

During the mid-late eighties I had a Yamaha CX5 MII MSX computer which I used as a FM synthesizer along with other instruments. I loved it, but although it was vastly superior in just about everything compared to my old C=64, it ended up being used exclusively as a music making machine as I was anyway in the process of migrating from the C=64 to the Amiga.
Still the CX5 was a godsend for music: old FM synths were harder to program compared to old school subtractive synths and being able to edit patches on a computer screen rather on a small display made the process a lot easier than on similarly capable synths or expanders.

The funny thing is, the early stimulus has lead to so much investment in US EHRs that they’re quite competitive internationally and being installed in other public-payer health systems.

What I would like to see is a comparison of truly foreign EHRs.

FTFA, non-US clinicians write up much shorter notes in the same EHR. So there’s something about the pressures on the US user that don’t exist elsewhere.
I was wondering "What about Canonical" but it looks like SUSE's annual revenue is about 4 times that of Canonical, and of course SUSE requires a contract to get patches etc. where Ubuntu doesn't.

It's less about what the laws say and more about what the consequences of not following industry standard would be.

If you explicitly flout standard and as a result get sued for violating one of the related hiring/discrimination laws, your investors may have a good case to sue you personally because you didn't act in the best interest of the company by opening your company up to that extra risk for no tangible benefit.

I think some are indeed going back.

Others have fallen prey to the sunk-cost fallacy ("I've been waiting for 10+ years; it'll feel like I waste if I give up now").

And still others value the ability to work in the US over other countries (though I would judge that value to have decreased in the past couple years).

Some will just still stop at nothing to eventually be able to hold a US passport, especially if they come from a country where their own passport is much less useful internationally.

And I imagine some have also settled down and had kids in the time they've been here, waiting, and don't want to uproot their family.
