Naive. The author has no concept of how psychologically damaging these ideas can be in the hands of a passive aggressive HR team. Put the genie back in the bottle.

Values are good; they can rally a team. Feedback is good. What's missing is that feedback is never a two way street; there is always part of the company which is effectively immune from critique, by virtue of their position and rank. And this is where the psychopaths gather.

Bullshit happens. Senior executives frequently re-write the corporate narrative to justify developments. Sometimes this is for the greater good, other times it merely pads their own situation. Nobody is incorruptible - when you have people, you have bad actors.

Now lets look at how this is communicated.

As a society, we're pretty good at dealing with getting screwed over by assholes. The interactions are mercifully short - most assholes have learned to give the bad news and get offstage as quickly as possible. Some beer is consumed, some words are said, and life goes on.

Most importantly: the recipient of the "dick move" is able to process and recognize it for what it is, a self centered pile of shit inflicted by their superiors.

There is minimal lasting damage.

Now these fuckers.... would use values to rationalize all significant events. From the bully pulpit of their role in HR and senior leadership. With licence to lie, omit, and otherwise distort facts to support their narrative. While the employee was bound by an "integrity policy" and a "code of conduct" that required "professionalism". Not that these are bad things, but when one side can lie - and the other cannot call them on it... you're going to have a bad day.

So basically - all of these "discussions" devolve into a fucked up version of a therapy session where the other person really doesn't have your best interests at heart. Where you are directly questioned and attacked on your values and the degree to which they align with whatever your inquisitor currently wants. And all of this deranged feedback is carefully calibrated to operate at a very personal level - there's nothing wrong with us, all of this is a function of your personal deficiencies.

I survived. Got a great job offer from an ex-boss. And left.

My kids and wife commented a month later: "Wow, Dad finally started smiling again". Yeah. That bad. Literally fucked with my own perceptions of my self-worth.

A lesser person would have been driven into therapy.

This is not how a workplace should operate.

NandasmartS3? Hacker That Has a #43 Rank Top Global?
Whois NandasmartS3 Or NCode Gaming??!!
ok so i will explain it

The first name NandasmartS3 is its pseudonym or antonym to protect identity

The second name NCode is the name of the official youtube channel, NCode Gaming

who is NandasmartS3?
is he someone who broke into around 4200 sites in one week? huh how come?

This could be because the creation of NCode Bot infiltrated the security holes of several sites so that in one week there could be up to 4000 more websites broken into luck NCode Bot was turned off According to The Hacker News
the deadly NCode Bot is Michelle Zatlyn, co-founder of CloudFlare, Inc.

for NCode Bot menenmbus website like this

So when your ip address is visible on the internet NCode Bot will scan it and it will come with you to the website you are headed to like Facebook and so on so NCode Bot will scan the entire web header and find a header gap between union 1- 10 and create a backdoor there

So who is NandasmartS3?

Just spitballing here but it makes me think there should just be an option to rent a dinged up, scratched up car for cheaper. The policy would be like “Cosmetic damage ok. As long as there’s no functional damage, you’re good.” I personally don’t give a flying f—— if my rental car looks like a junkyard lot special, as long as it drives me safely to my destination. Plus it saves me stress if some dbag dings my rental in a parking lot.

I guess maybe the counter argument for this (other than rental companies fighting it because I’m sure they shadily draw in some revenue from gauging people on fees for cosmetic damage) is it might be harder to catch functional damage if you stop checking for cosmetic damage. Though, I’m not so sure that’s true.

The mistake of having a deposit in your account shouldn't be furthered by the bank, or other company, removing money from your account without notice. They don't have to do a in-person phone call, a text message/email/automated call.

There are many situations in which a person could receive money and genuinely think it was theirs to spend. Some of those situations could be ones in which the spending could be extremely detrimental.

Other than that I agree.
It's not "obvious" at all and I've never heard anyone in the community express such sentiments, even in more informal settings. I don't even know what "courage" you're referring to. The courage to be associated to a journal with an IF < 4, maybe?

No, when you get a royal a--hole into a large organization, I really don't have much hope for average managers with typical business training to do anything but watch.

The fact that no QA team inside of
Raspberry Pi’s organization caught
this bug indicates they only tested
with one kind (the simplest) of USB-C
cable.

Raspberry Pi, you can do better.

I'd say at least 20% of the blame lies with whatever genius decided to have multiple types of USB-C cable

I mean, cables already suffer from having A, Type A SuperSpeed, B, B SuperSpeed, Mini-B, Micro-B, Micro-B SuperSpeed, C, and lengths from 10cm to 5m. Who'd expect adding a complete extra dimension of difference to be trouble-free?

Good point about the MacBook - they're much lighter than my MacBook Pro.

I'm surprised you can actually pick it up by the cable, however! The fit of the power cable in the USB-C ports on my (2017) 13" Pro is very loose - in fact, sometimes the power cable slips out on it's own with even a small movement. Maybe this has changed in the 13" MacBook?

I'm starting to notice a trend in PayPal fraud cases: a user has an issue with fraud. User contacts PP. PP's fraud department won't discuss the matter. PP does something oafish to lose a customer.

The critical point seems to be that fraud won't talk to customers.

It makes sense that PP moves quickly when fraud is suspected. What doesn't make sense is that they're so secretive about the events that take place on a user's account. For all we know, user's could be facing legitimate fraud issues that can be addressed with cooperation between PP and user. However, a user cannot cooperate when they have no idea what's going on.

If you can't discuss cases of fraud with your customers out of fear of revealing information to the defrauding party, you may need to do more in vetting the identity of users. I don't mean the intricacies of fraud with customers like patterns and markers for fraud. I mean getting to the bottom of the disputed transaction. You're shooting yourself in the shoot in any other case. PayPal is concerned more with user count and transaction volume than individual account retention. You would think that you want your customers to be proactive in cases of potential fraud.

It seems like they never learned from their every-user-is-a-credit-card-holder days.
That's why emacs users tend to use emacs for everything. Ultimately, everything we do is all text. Editing source code, writing notes, searching through documents, writing emails. It's natural to want to use your favourite tool for all of your text editing needs.

A lot of the new players (~past decade) are VC funded and/or starting off in a highly saturated market, needing to landgrab as many artists & labels as possible to establish themselves. So they end up prioritising marketing their service via slick onboarding, PR campaigns, unsustainable offers (see Stem) and cash advances. A couple years down the line they usually fall short of their core model or pivot, as you say, dialling up the cost of the service.

Always enjoy seeing services tout the 'keep 100% of your royalties' when they pipe everything through a third party like CI who take a percentage upfront.

Yes I've seen a handful of services across the years with the "sustainable, fair and innovative" USP, often run by volunteers and withering out after a short time. I'm not too sure on the potential of these as they end up being top heavy, with more artists and labels onboard than paying customers / fans. The only people that seem to have got this balance right is Bandcamp, at the cost of 15% of your revenue.

I've dealt with a distributor who have been around for decades (physical & digital) and sit under the radar, not focussed on growth, soley relying on word of mouth referrals with high profile, revenue generating clients for years. They're not the cheapest on %age, but are reliable, transparent and are well respected for the curation of clients (no open door policy) so as with everything - you get what you pay for. So they do exist, but you won't hear them shouting their own name.

As for labels, I know of plenty who offer a fair deal for artists who end up staying with them in the long term. It's just the bad apples, usually the majors, who have the leverage to offer unscrupulous deals which all comes out in the press when the artists realise how bad the deal was years down the line and they're contracted in for another 10 years.
>But otherwise, why should you get access to all future updates and ongoing work?

Because a norm has been established in software where you can charge for what in physical goods would be considered a defective piece of shit that should be recalled asap. This is beneficial to software developers and is predicated upon the concept of free updates.

Using FZF to search the shell history is great until you don't find the command you were searching, you need to abort and what you typed is canceled. That's my only gripe with it.

If there's a way to do it with Zsh I'm all ears...

(disclaimer: not a physicist, never looked into the maths, but I'm intrigued by QF)

There are deterministic interpretations that are very much on the table.

The Everett's Many Worlds[1] is fully deterministic (and depending on your view, the simplest one too): the universe is a quantum wave function evolving according to the Shrödinger's equation. That's it.

A lot (if not all) of the hidden variables theories are also deterministic. The apparent non-determinism stems from the aforementioned variables that we don't/can't see.

I keep hearing more and more about the Pilot wave theory[2] recently. And that's a hidden-variables deterministic interpretation.

ido-mode was the standard back in the day. I have since moved to ivy/swiper but it was ido-mode that showed me the way some ten years ago (or more).

One sad thing about FZF is that it doesn't also support tab-completion. Both ido and ivy support both tab-completion and fuzzy searching at the same time. They compliment each other really well and make these both much more general purpose tools. One import application is when your search space is a tree (like a file system). FZF sucks at that and the authors have no interest in supporting tab-completion or trees.
The Pi4 does not work with all USB-C chargers. You may be lucky and it will work, or you may be unlucky and it will not work and you will have to buy another USB-C charger (which again may not work).

The reason is that the developers of the Pi4 made a mistake while designing the electronic circuit. They tried to design it themselves instead of copying it from the specification.
There are multiple types of USB C cables/devices. Raspberry Pi advertizes itself as the wrong kind of device, so it will only get power from a cable/charger that ignores that information.

It's easy to "imagine" what you would do if you were a minority. Especially when you haven't lived it.

Your asking for diversity of behavior, but you seem to expect everyone to respond like they had your experiences and background.
Pretty unfortunate design flaw, and hopefully it can be corrected, but this post is horribly finger-pointy and the tone generally stinks. Would hate to make a mistake while working around this guy

Due to a design flaw, the raspberry pi 4 won't receive power if you connect it to a USB-C cable that supports advanced features. If you use the official charger (or most USB-C chargers that come with their own cable, I'm guessing) you should be fine.

Building a Net Generation ISP: Community Connections
I've been using PP for several years without a single incident. I use it because I don't have to write Code or maintain a server to process payments. My business uses a passive web page. My online order form is written in plain HTML, in a text editor, and I was able to fully test it in a few minutes.

I keep my eye out for alternative services because like many others, I've heard horror stories, and would not mind having a backup. So far I haven't found anything.

A possible reason for my good luck is that I run an "analog" business. My product is a physical good that I make and ship, so the customer gets something tangible and that's the end of it.

I don't want to cast aspersions, but the horror stories I've read are either one-time incidents with eBay sellers, or complex digital services where the product is an intangible.
I'd say that's all the more reason to try and redistribute some of the wealth to the most affected. (Whether the Indian government will effectively collect and use the taxes is another matter, but can appreciate the efforts in a country with such a wide gap between rich/poor)

50 crore == 50 million, so a USD equivalent of $729,550 a year. Would go a long way in India.

Can't find reliable figures for wages, but from a quick Google, one site put it at about <$2k a year. Taking that as a rough order of magnitude it would be the equivalent of levying a tax on American earning over $7M per year (if average wages are about ~$20k).

I can't get over their decision to not include 0 on the scale. That makes the 47 -> 39 improvement look like 50% rather than 17.2%.
