>Everyone who works for a company is an employee of the company, with a wage (or an hourly rate), and potentially some equity as well. Every employee should be considering how to make the company more profitable, which could be by accelerating a development schedule, over delivering in a new feature/performance, or hiring and retaining key talent.

Absolutely. And in a sufficiently abusive environment, none of that will happen. It is a terrible thing when executive staff destroy a company by creating a toxic environment. But employees would rather be improving the orginization since they need the company to survive and everyone would rather work with smart people than someone they have to carry.

But I know of cases where employee pressure in tech has slowed AI use in warfare and stopped physical abuse toward workers. I hear theory about it being bad but where has it made things worse?

>The wages of these employees is not set by the company. It is set by the market

If that were true then negotiating would be irrelevant. And previous salary would not be the primary determiner of your next offer. And there would not be formulaic pay raise percentages that rewards those people who changes jobs frequently over those who say on and so are in fact more valuable but less savvy.

More than that, labor prices have as much to do with housing prices as anything else (from which extra expense neither employer nor employee benefits). That is not the tech market.

So skill availability is only tangentially related to compensation. The market favors a set of behaviors other than technical skill such as negotiation and job hopping. And ironically for the job hopper, who is selected _for_ by this system, would have minimum interest in the companies success.

>Companies incorporate for the legal liability protection, for the ability to issue shares, for the ability to file taxes as a separate entity, etc.

Being incorporated has nothing to do with analogy. Or even to being called a company. It has to do with some communication being acceptable while other similar communication is not. It's also a specific description of the friction that emerges anywhere only a subset of people decide the allocation of revenue to the whole group including themselves. In this case, in a work place.

Which becomes more suspicious when the opposition to full participation in decision making is on moral grounds or is followed by implicit threats rather than showing how the arrangement is best for everyone.
They do have a web client, but not WebRTC. See this reverse engineering of their protocol: https://webrtchacks.com/zoom-avoids-using-webrtc/

This is a great data point which corroborates “The Organization Man” thesis, which happened to be written in the 50’s.
"We might think that the addict has it easy: even if they are powerless to solve it, at least they know what their problem is!" Boredom I suppose can be addiction if it can gain profits. Boredom compared to an addiction you dont even realize what is happening. Addicts first step is admitting they are powerless and realizing they have a problem.
The problem with asking permission is dialog fatigue and similar.

As far as supporting local content: Historically a lot of terrible (read: Enterprise, H&R Block tax software, etc) apps are glorified webpages, coupled with a local server that provides things like FS access and malware installation. Those apps use a kludge of remote and localhost urls, and generally expect to work.

I suspect at this point though that browsers will just start going for the "no access to localhost" route as this practice is mercifully dying out (alas in favor of Electron apps shipping full, but out of date, browsers).

To me the bigger problem is: Zoom installed a server on a machine, without consent, with the ability to install software (without consent). Removing the browser's access to that service doesn't mean anything because an attacker can always just directly attack the server.

Even if the server locks connections to exclusively coming from localhost they've provided a service that can install and launch software, which can therefore be used as a sandbox escape - e.g a super constrained network service gets compromised - the idea is that service can't modify the filesystem or what have you, but now it can just connect to localhost and get a file written to disk.

People keep on complaining about apple "locking down the system", but its because of developers like Zoom that Apple needs to do this: and average user is not going to see this post, and Zoom has clearly decided that it is in their interests to leave a service running that can install software for them.

I hope that apple drops the XProtect hammer on the server binary, and the ban hammer on their signing cert.

There’s no evidence to suggest inferior results or standards of care from nurse practitioners than primary care doctors.

COMPARISON OF PRIMARY CARE OUTCOMES OF NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PHYSICIANS

https://research.libraries.wsu.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/23...

> Relevant Research Findings
There are two landmark studies on the quality of the primary care delivered by nurse practitioners in regards to that of physicians. The first was by Mundinger, et al. (2000) and a follow-up study by Lenz, Mundinger, Kane, Hopkins & Lin (2004).

...

> The results indicated tllat there were no significant differences in patient outconles regarding health status, physiologic test results or health status utilization. Patients seen by NPs did have a statistically significant, but not clinically significant lower diastolic blood pressure (82 vs. 85 mm Hg; p==.04).

...

> The outcomes compared were health status, utilization of health services, and satisfaction with health care. The investigators found no significant differences in outcomes between the two groups, one seen by MDs and the other seen by NPs. The only difference in the results is the average number of primary care visits during year two for each discipline
No, just stop using products made by shitty companies, but you won't do that, right ?
I'm sure Zoom intentionally failed to tell you how to remove the web server. After all, if it's still running, then it's just that much easier to reinstall Zoom on your machine.
I absolutely agree, and in my experience your list hardly scratches the surface. And awful not in the normal way that many large companies are awful.
Certainly the compensation of nurses in the US is higher if measured in monetary terms.

The UK has an entirely different attitude to pensions than the US, and you could write a book about it, so it is hard to make a direct comparison because the expectations are so far apart.

The NHS seems to be capable of attracting nurses from overseas, in my local hospital you could speak Tagalog and get the same experience. The problem recruiting nurses into the NHS is the punitive visa regime, not monetary compensation.
I really like your landing page. FYI: on the feature comparison page, when you expand a row with the '+', the 'More on this...' links are not working yet.

"as far as I can tell the quality is indistinguishable from Zoom"

In my experience, the quality is similar to Meet when all parties have great internet connections. But if one or more parties has high/variable latency or packet loss, then Zoom provides a much more smooth experience.
Fair enough, I was wrong there - RSA is still used for some things in TLS 1.3. However, I stand by my point that there are downsides to RSA and that its misleading to say "RSA + TLS is fine" when TLS 1.3 actively reduced its use of RSA.
If you assume mild burnout, do you think it’s long term the right strategy to force yourself through it? What would your body have to do to tell you that it’s not mild anymore? What if it does? Take care!

No no no, I'm saying that the non-elites are counter-productive, that they contribute negative productivity.

The way the article reads seems to suggest that this is like the bare minimum the administration can do to appear to be doing something about health care costs. The judge is probably right though.

Ruling by executive fiat isn't necessarily bad, but it's a hell of a trend.

You can negotiate with collections too. If they bought the debt for 5 cents on the dollar (typical) and you make it clear they can accept 50 cents on the dollar or call you for the next 7 years because you just don't care, they may accept.
They’re donating their expertise because, yes, this research is extremely valuable and important, but the vendor should obviously be paying for it.
Unfortunately neither of those would help in this case.
This is definitely in the category of advice (much like GTD) of "if you don't think you need this advice, you probably don't need it."

I feel like there's an alternate wording for this advice that is less "cut corners" and more "determine how many corners you don't want cut".

Maybe involving a target condition? You want to make the best thing possible. Keep on aiming for the best, but establish a baseline that you would find acceptable. Maybe you won't make something perfect, but you'll now have a target that you _can_ get to.

This thought process reframes the discussion of "good enough" away from "did I spend enough time on this? Surely I can spend another week and make it 10% better" to "Does this meet the requirements". There is no longer a debate to be had, just a yes or no question to answer.

So when people ship things that just aren't good enough you don't have a discussion around spending more time on things or being more careful, you have a discussion around what your baseline requirements are (which is _actually_ what you care about).

I've worked on a legacy app written with these tools. It's not the most awful thing I've ever had to use. But there's a lot of magic in those macros, and you have to code carefully to avoid introducing action-at-a-distance bugs, esp. w.r.t. error handling.

I'd suggest ChaCha20-Poly1305 in the AEAD construction defined in RFC 7539[1] (which is what most new libraries implement). ChaCha20 is more performant and these days is more widely used -- though the underlying construction is very similar and both were designed by Bernstein et al.

> Solution: you need to tag and push the build-stage images too

With BuildKit cache for all the intermediate stages is tracked. You can push the whole cache with buildx or inline the intermediate cache metadata in buildx or v19.03. `--cache-from` will pull in matched layers automatically on build. Can also export the cache to a shared volume if that suites you better than a registry.
You left out a crucial sentence from the paragraph you cited:

This excludes what I originally meant to refer to, which is non-routine care. I am fully confident that NPs can handle routine care, what I was asserting is that they are (anecdotally) bad at handling more complex/infrequent issues

I assume you mean the helper for COPY/ADD is pulled from the registry. That is not the case since Buildkit v0.5 / Docker v19.03 . If you have images you use locally, network connectivity is not required, otherwise, BuildKit will verify that the mutable tags have not changed in the registry (eg. it doesn't use the string "latest" to verify the validity of cache).

I recommend you to upgrade to BuildKit. Also, the above isn't really true for Docker CLI, mtime was never taken into account in the old builder and Docker CLI never sends uname/gname. With API it was possible in the old builder though (hence the incompatibility with compose for example). In more practical cases I've seen it caused by git directory instead, that isn't stable. In that case, you can put .git into .dockerignore or if you don't use it, BuildKit will discard it automatically.
