> You are 100% sure that Seth Rich wasn't murdered in a conspiracy because Wikipedia said so?

No. Why would anyone be 100% about this unless they were part of it? I definitely know what I think is most likely based on the evidence though.

> But to act like the theory has been conclusively disproven because of a wikipedia article that cites the Washington Post, Snopes, and Politifact is rather naive.

And "The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia" and "People who worked with Rich" and a "Rich family representative", all with citations. The very first sentence of that section does metion fact checking websites, such as Politifact.com, snopes.com and factcheck.org, but after it mentions (with two citations) "The conspiracy theories have been debunked by law enforcement".

I can only conclude you are seeing what you want to see, since you're leaving out very compelling evidence that was not only mentioned first in the initial explanatory sentence, but also first below where items were discussed in detail.

I think I've explained myself sufficiently, and I think your reply wasn't exactly formulated in a way conducive to productive discussion, so I think this will be my last comment on the topic here.

To me it means that you should act in a way that more authentically represents your wants and your values.

For example, if someone wants to impress someone else, they may act in a way they think is in line with that someone else's wants and values. This can result in awkward and embarrassing situations since it's not natural or well-practiced, and it can result in being deceitful.

Instead it's better to acknowledge and be sensitive toward what that someone else wants and values, but to still behave in a way that is true to our own wants and values.

I’ve had the experience of thinking that I had terrible social skills for most of my live, then getting treatment for depression and anxiety and suddenly finding that socializing is easy. In my case, the problem really was my own fears and overanalysis about myself.

Not an audiologist, but an engineer/musician with some mild hearing loss and some interest in these things.

What needs to happen to bring the prices down is a unified prescription for hearing aids, like we have with eyeglasses. You can get your eye exam, request your prescription, and take it anywhere you want -- Costco, Zenni, or your local shop. That facilitates apples-to-apples competition.

There's nothing like that with hearing aids. Each company's aids need to be fitted with that company's software, and if you want to switch to a different brand, you need to go through the fitting process all over again. You can get a copy of your audiogram, but that doesn't capture everything that goes into a hearing aid fitting. What the manufacturers do is provide different fitting profiles for different types of losses (old-age loss, noise-induced loss, cookie bite loss, and so forth) and then tweak from there. You can't just take your profile from one manufacturer and move it to another.

For a comprehensive hearing aid prescription, you'd need to know exactly how much conductive loss you have at each critical band of hearing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_scale). Additionally, you need to know how much loudness recruitment (nonlinear increase of perceived loudness in response to linear increase of sound intensity) you have at each band. The problem is that right now, it's prohibitive to measure all that -- you'd be in the silent room pushing buttons in response to beeps for hours. I'm hoping that eventually, AI can help with that by taking over that manual work and allowing for more fine-grained audiometric data. Rather than trying to build noise cancelling, etc. into the hearing aids themselves, maybe we can provide accurate enough prescriptions so that the brain gets the information it needs to do the processing itself just like it does for a non-hearing-impaired person.

God, that's a brilliant name/logo.
Yeah, this. It's great that the poster leveraged it as a learning opportunity and could handle things, but it speaks to the poor quality of the organization/team that this would be an issue to begin with. But of course we have limited details.

Also, when you're a green software engineer it can be hard to know when to ask questions. You definitely don't want to ask too many questions which are trivial and easily googleable. But you also don't want to spend 4 hours figuring something out that a teammate could explain in 10 minutes, unless their time really is 16x more valuable than yours.
This kinda reminds me of 3-Lisp.
The smartphone just switches modes and adjusts the volume. AFAICT these modern hearing aids are doing something like dynamic EQ, based on frequency level detection. The programs that dynamically adjust the EQ levels are trained on test material and then the audiologist or the user can switch between programs and adjust the levels based on the user's hearing response curve.

So what happens in real time on the device is fairly simple.

AFAICT - someone please correct me if they know otherwise.

> An Atari 800 is no longer useful?

Machines wear out. If I can't get service manuals or replacement parts, then it's no longer useful, even for its original purpose.

I've thrown out more than a couple pieces of computer hardware, over the years, which were almost certainly 99% fine, but unrepairable.

On ebay right now, I see 6 "Atari 800" machines. 1 is advertised as "working".
That is the description of the hassle (skipping the parts where they are asleep, have drinks/food/laptops, etc). But if you feel better for denying any social anxiety or physical discomfort I or others feel while "climbing over" strangers periodically, don't let me stop you.
God no. Don’t tell him this. There are already too many sysadmins that take the on prem, non automated, lift and shift mentality to the cloud, and leave in their wake an infrastructure that costs more than if they had just used bare metal at s colo.

If you’re hosting a bunch of VMs “in the cloud” and doing the same stuff you did on prem you’ve just gotten the worse of both worlds - you’re spending more and not getting any of the benefits of letting your cloud vendor do any of the “undifferentiated heavy lifting”.

My experience with “cloud architects” who don’t know anything about development is that they are actually a liability.
"there are far more bugs than clever inventions."

That's 100% true, but being a good software engineer isn't about clever inventions. It's about reliably doing the right thing, and that in and of itself is praise-worthy.

When someone writes tests I will always call those tests out. Because I know that writing tests isn't always the funnest work and as such I'm really grateful that they took the time to do it!

Or what about when someone writes a really good code review? They took the time to review your work and that's another time to say "hey thanks for doing that!".

If you really look for it there are dozens of things a day that your teammates do for you that are real chances just to say "hey it's really cool that you did that". When you really start to look you'll find that you can have a really positive impact on your team by calling out all of the good things you see going on around you. It really does make a huge difference.

At my previous job, we had Fastly as a potential new CDN provider set up against our existing CDN provider and two other new potentials. After a few rounds of calls for bids, Fastly won out.

Based on my experience with the other providers they were also, by a large margin, the most modern - it felt like moving from a 2008 integration to a modern, fully RESTful API with great documentation and decent UI.

This is all anecdotal, but they did combine a great technical platform with great support. If transit prices are the same or similar for all providers in that size category, they have to fight on features and support instead.
I agree re: cannibalizing Akamai and I don't have any inside knowledge at all, just a fan of theirs and the last two companies I've worked for have both been customers. There's the security/WAF stuff that could be hugely lucrative for the larger customers that decide that's a priority. There's also whatever future potential edge computing/serverless ends up having. They're already kind of perfectly positioned to ramp that up if they want to.

I think the easiest short term play is the loooong tail of CDN business that's out there that never would've bothered with Akamai because it's too expensive. Their partnership and bizdev folks are really smart about reaching out to small and mid market PaaS providers to set up coverage for all of the sites under their management. It only takes a few of them to take off in their niche to add up to a fairly significant amount of revenue.

> The fact that the topic is not entirely related: why are you so annoyed by that idea?

This is a reasonable question, since there's nothing to discuss here. This would be a better discussion for a discussion in which a lot of the people have a specific point.

This is a good question. I would assume that the more interesting discussion and discussion it is about the larger discussion it is about the wider discussion. The question might be the right way to ask a question of a topic. It may be some other way to ask a question, but I'd be happy to answer it as much as possible by asking the question as it is.
They should have a filled red circle or red LED showing when recording, as per the convention, plus a filled blue circle or steady blue LED on when they're not, while low battery or another inoperability fault should show a blue half circle or blinking blue light.

When recording is activated, a pure 1-second tone should sound, with an audible voice indicator "bodycam number ### recording" with a timestamp and location. When recording is deactivated, a 1-second series of short chirps , with an audible voice indicator "bodycam number ### deactivating in 30 seconds, 15 seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, off".

That way, if a cop is turning off the camera at an inappropriate time, someone else can start recording before it cuts off, or the cop can cancel the deactivation without interrupting the recording, and if a suspect hears or sees all cops turning off their cameras at once, they might have a possible defense for resisting arrest. Furthermore, the recording of one cop's camera would be able to show if another cop's camera was on or off.

Ultrasonic tones outside the range of human hearing could encode "bodycam ### is recording" or "bodycam ### is not recording" or "bodycam ### case has been opened", so that any available audio recording without a high-frequency filter could decode it enough for a lawyer to request preservation of evidence from that specific camera and then later get the full video.

For those wondering, this may be referring to it being the replacement for allegedly using live prisoners for sword practice.
I disagree, if you leave it to the sysadmins that take their same mentality to the cloud, it’s a bigger disaster.

I straddle both sides and I’d much rather deal with a seasoned software architect who comes to the cloud from that side than a sysadmin who comes from the other side.

A sysadmin doesn’t want to automate his job and let the cloud provider manage what they can manage. A good software Architect is mich more likely to be push as much off on to manage services as possible and automate as much as possible.

I work at one of these “everything is on fire, nobody has time, going a million miles an hour, hiring inexperienced people” places. They are not good. They may make you feel like you’re really learning loads and taking on lots of responsibility. You’re actually mostly learning hacks that work in an emergency and learning to be taken advantage of and do multiple people’s jobs. Why do you think they hire inexperienced people and put them straight on production fixes? It’s because inexperienced people are cheap and won’t say no to anything. Management there are likely very dysfunctional. Get out!

In this case the federated system is worldwide, and the individual phyles by definition must park and govern themselves within the federation's border. Because the federated system is worldwide, it must contain only a small subset of the laws we normally associate with a nation-state, those that directly affect peaceful trade and dispute resolution. Cultural values are left for the phyle to administer.

Another key difference is that your phyle follows you around, geographically, while your nation's jurisdiction ends at its borders. If I'm an American expat interacting with another American expat in Shanghai, I'm still subject to Chinese law. If I'm a Neo-Victorian (to use one of the phyles from Diamond Age) interacting with another Neo-Victorian in Hong Kong, I'm subject to Neo-Victorian law. A block over could be a Han Chinese (also using the Diamond Age phyle, but in this case it corresponds to a real ethnicity in our world) enclave, and its citizens would be subject to Han Chinese law when interacting with other Han Chinese. If, as a Neo-Victorian, I cross the street to do a business deal with a Han Chinese, our dealings are governed by the Common Economic Protocol, the set of laws common to the federated system as a whole.

Because when some freedom-loving couple takes root in some god-forsaken islet in the middle of nowhere, and when they are trapped in the middle of a hurricane, together with their newborn baby, with three hours to spare before their freedom-house goes underwater, it will be morally wrong to sentence the baby to death just because their parents are idiots, so the government will be morally compelled to send rescue squads, spending taxpayer money and possible endangering lives of rescue workers.
The problem is that patients don't always know what is supposed to sound right, especially if they've been going without hearing aids for years. If you take a person with a high-frequency loss and correct it to the normal range, they'll often complain that everything sounds sharp, or there are too many noises and it's hard to concentrate. Only after wearing them for a while does their brain learn to filter out the normal environmental sounds and adjust to the "new normal".

I know a couple people who are tech leads at large, well known companies (Facebook, Amazon) with 2-3 years of experience. But the one that I know better than the others is a workaholic obsessed with things like perceived "prestige". My guess is that they both were put in charge of some project that was a homerun and thus got allocated more head count, so they were logically chosen to keep leading the project they helped create.

Well if you want my path it was something like: BASIC, 6502 assembly, Fortran, Pascal, C, C++, Scheme, Perl, shell (sh, tcsh, sed, awk, etc), Java, Python. A bit of PHP in there somewhere. Some TCL and lua and ruby too.

I may have the order a bit mixed up. I started with perl 4 and got to be reasonably adept, using it as my primary language from maybe 96-2000. I've used Python as my primary language since 2000. I'm pretty fluent in C, Java, Objective C and shell.

Anyway, I had to fix a couple hundred line Perl script the other day and it had me scratching my head for long enough that I was pretty close to rewriting the whole thing in Python. One thing I really love about Python is that it's trivial to test bits and pieces of code via the REPL.
