> Case in point, I managed to convince people to support immigration tied to employment

I appreciate your honesty, but that's not what I'm talking about. Immigration or anti-immigration is a solid political subject but its "safe". That's the stuff normal people talk about.

The white-nationalist stuff I literally cannot beat is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Replacement and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_genocide_conspiracy_theo...

Have you ever met someone who believed in The Great Replacement or White Genocide? Its basically a conspiracy theory: these people are not rational anymore. No amount of arguing can convince them otherwise. I'm Asian. Just talking with a white-nationalist reminds them of the Great Replacement. Just seeing me enforces their viewpoint.

Yeah, being tolerant of other viewpoints works... when the other person is also a good person at heart. But when you meet truly despicable nutjobs on the white-national spectrum, you lose hope in that "tolerance" viewpoint rather quickly. The only option I've concluded from my experience in that matter, is to censor them and prevent them from recruiting more people.

I dunno, maybe you can figure out a better plan. But I'm perfectly willing to use the censorship button to mitigate this problem. And unfortunately, I don't think I have any better option.

You think? I could never figure out how to do anything in SolidWorks, whereas I could just pick up Fusion and create. Fusion's interface seemed much more intuitive to me, and I had zero experience with CAD before. Plus, it's free.

Nowadays I use OnShape because it's decent and the only thing that works on Linux. I do miss some of the more advanced features, though (e.g. simulation, or variables).
It is protected discussion under the US Constitution since Yates v. United States hamstrung sedition prosecutions over the government going after dissidents, particularly Communists.

Mind you I sat the last election out because I was so thoroughly disgusted with Hillary's anti-immigrant record and Trump's promise to try to be even worse (and while he is trying, I am not sure he is succeeding as bad as it is, and it is very bad). I have no love for either. But it is protected speech.
Certainly an interesting idea, I suppose most of the things I listed can in fact be mitigated quite easily. Compilers and obfuscators exist even now that would totally destroy most distinguishable patterns. If anyone knows any case studies on this, please drop a link here.
I have a problem with:

ProcQueryExtension(ClientPtr client)
{
xQueryExtensionReply reply;
int i;

REQUEST(xQueryExtensionReq);

REQUEST_FIXED_SIZE(xQueryExtensionReq, stuff->nbytes);

reply = (xQueryExtensionReply) {
.type = X_Reply,
.sequenceNumber = client->sequence,
.length = 0,
.major_opcode = 0
};

What's wrong with:

ProcQueryExtension(ClientPtr client)
{
xQueryExtensionReply reply = {
.type = X_Reply,
.sequenceNumber = client->sequence,
.length = 0,
.major_opcode = 0
};
int i;
REQUEST(xQueryExtensionReq);
REQUEST_FIXED_SIZE(xQueryExtensionReq, stuff->nbytes);

Can't we define and initialize a structure any more without some damned compound literals?

> Did you guess assign values to the latter 3 arguments

In C++, functions do that.

void assign(int &target, int val) { target = val; }

assign(x, 42);
I think this concept could eventually be a success...

I worked for a sister division of Ametek (Creaform's parent corp) a while ago. It's a real company and this is a real product line (I think this is the 3rd or 4th gen product by now).

Ametek is big on precision metrology for industrial/aerospace use and Creaform is a bet on the future. The corporation also owns Taylor Hobson from the UK. They're not looking to put this into smartphones.

macOS is exactly where people expect native theme. People aren't using the apps you mention because they like the look of them. They're using them because they believe the functionality is better than the native-looking alternatives, or because they have no choice (e.g. with Slack).
i'm a former nortel employee. so sad to see people lose their houses and pensions due to chinese theft. The hacking wasn't even publicized as a warning that other companies could heed - get your security in order, be careful with your IP, or you will go from 140,000 employees to a small cadre of lawyers and accountants managing the pittance that is left over. But at least none of the management at Nortel was embarrassed by the bad publicity of getting owned by the chinese and their inability to do anything about it.
This would benefit from more threaded mount points. Presumably there's one on the bottom?
German speaking here... I suspect they came to this with an understanding of German interpretation and application of law. In Germany a jury cannot just declare a substance as carcinogenic, there are no class action suits, no punitive damages, etc.

That's why the defence has focused so far on facts and studies.

(Note: I'm not saying one is better than the other. Just that the risk was probably assessed with assumptions that turned out to be incorrect.)
Oh. That does sound pretty nice.

I'm talking about the general case.

Maybe in this specific case the telecom data was correct, but can you assure the same for every datum ever provided?

Trusting telecom data is essentially the same as trusting an eyewitness.

The eyewitness says the truth sometimes, but you can't trust them as an infallible source of truth.

I don't get you. This statement is clearly false, I even gave you references, and you're still holding your position?

Who am I kidding, I know exactly why you are talking this way, he's Republican, you're Democrat, and bashing the other party is the order of the day, never mind what they've actually done.

And if you think I'm wrong - give me dates. Give me the date that "political blowback started", and even better, give me the date when you think he started paying attention to this. Because I gave you a date - and it was within months of him becoming chairman.

IP legalities notwithstanding, the moral defense in my mind is when creators don't have any mechanism for a direct revenue stream. It's one thing to not pay and skip ads; but if ads are the only way to support the creator, I hate being forced to "pay" with time (and poisoning my brain with faux-enthused marketing copy). In some cases, creators have a Patreon/etc, but supporters are still forced to see the same ads as everyone else.

In my mind, ad blocking tools should be using a revenue-sharing model (in the range of 90/10), that gives creators with an existing ad-supported model a low-effort secondary income stream. Even if entirely voluntary/opt-in, it seems like a win-win.

Also worth noting: one of the most successful podcasters/YouTubers, Joe Rogan, has a unique ad model: sponsor reads are front-loaded and designed to be easy to skip, with a short sponsor recap at the end. Perhaps that only works when you have millions of followers, but it demonstrates that sponsors aren't necessarily turned off by some percentage of listeners/viewers skipping ads.

Please tell me some more deep nuggets of insight - they really are insightful.
> traditional cultural strictures against talking about money, politics, and religion

That is not a particularly widespread tradition globally or historically. And I personally think everyone should be incredibly skeptical of it.

I've never met anyone with power who followed this tradition, and plenty who are kept powerless by the always-one-sided application of these traditions.

These subjects are difficult to discuss because they are important, I find it far easier to believe that this toxicity comes from default of not talking to your family/friends/community about some of most important aspects of your life.
On a motorcycle helmet, it should be reasonable to expect to pay a hefty price for something quality. It's one of those items that has to work, that one time you need it. After that, who cares - you must throw it away and buy another. Consider it just another cost of being a motorcycle owner. In such a case, you probably should want to try it on for fit, weight, balance, etc.

But there are tons of other items that you either can't go someplace and purchase them (at least here in the USA), or if you can purchase them in some manner, you'll end up paying 5-10x or more for the privilege.

My goto example is DC gearmotors. There are plenty of USA based manufacturers and suppliers of such. One great brand is Ametek. Unfortunately, you're going to pay for that privilege. A motor I might purchase via a vendor that is made by, say, TSINY motor (a good chinese brand I might add), will only cost me around $15-30.00 each. An equivalent motor from a USA vender and/or manufacturer? Multiply those numbers by 10 - easily.

As a hobbyist - that's just insane.
I don't disagree, but I will contrast that with my later experience at IBM (when they bought Blekko).

IBM had at the time 400,000+ employees, so more than four times the employee base of Google. IBM is over a hundred years old at this point so have been doing this about five times longer than Google has.

In IBM's case they came at it from the opposite direction. Fifty years ago there was practically zero horizontal communication in the ranks and they were interested in increasing that to get better dispersal of thoughts and ideas throughout the company. As a result they were deploying and encouraging a sort of internal social network to improve cross flow and get more things out.
I wasn't replying to the article, I was responding to your claim that this change (as already exists in non-US cities) would lead to better results.

I support decriminalization on purely moral grounds, but am skeptical this will lead to less (and not more) drug-related crime or public use of hard drugs, based on my anecdotal observations in Europe.
As a business idea I don't think it would take off. I had a somewhat related project idea to rotate ringtones.

Such an idea can be done on Android, but would have been impossible on iOS (at the time, have not looked into it since).

It was mildly popular for download on the store, but supporting issues on various phones was a hassle, and Android update occasionally changed the required APIs. Currently the project is broken and on the back-burner to get it fixed again. However, it is freely available if you want a look.

Their financials on the surface and the growth look really good. Congrats to the whole DataDog team on this! I used it in my previous job and loved it. I love how quick they were to add support for new things and how easy it was to configure everything.

Since they are a SaaS startup which deals a lot with data and compute, I wanted to see their infra cost. I was looking through the consolidated financials[1] and I didn't find something that referred to infra explicitly. I am guessing "Research and Development" operating expense will cover employee compensation(stock and salary). So, would the infra costs be the one in "General and Administrative"?

That also doesn't show that the American public broadly supports the trade war, it shows that a particular demographic that broadly supported Trump before the trade war broadly also supports the trade war, just a little less than it still supports Trump (78% vs. 79%.)

If that holds for other groups (trade war support just below Trump support) it would indicate America broadly opposes the trade war, as Trump's at <45% support in current polling.
The police, of course, do seem to care, and they do care. It sucks that people like you try to get away with pulling one over on those who don't know the situation well enough and have to just trust you.
I am more interested to know whether successfully married couples are more likely to meet online than all couples. Maybe this simply demonstrates an uptick in number of relationships and less time someone is single until they find their long-term mate/partner.
It's pretty clear that the main, salient, tribal divide is between left and right. But I will agree to disagree there.

My key point is that if you open up the floor to politics so people can try and change the status quo, you open up the possibilities that people will want to change the status quo in a way that makes it even further away from where you think it should be.

When people advocate political discussion at work because they are against the status quo, I don't think that's a scenario they consider.

In all fairness, even in the higher classes on airlines, any caviar served was probably not the greatest quality. Even so, the fatty, fishy taste is what most people prize caviar for.
Sure you can. You can have an attitude of tolerance, of acceptance, and embrace different opinions/stances. Judge a little less, worry a little less about what others do.

Our culture has become a toxic stew caused by everyone forgetting to mind their own business; partially because people think that because politics does have a part of everything people do (hence the etymology of the term), that it gives them the right to control others. Fascism is the end result.
If they can actually pull this off (which I doubt), I might consider working there again. I had an offer from them last Dec and turned it down, in part, because this shit is borderline unbearable on the inside (I worked at Google in the past when it was less political, and it was barely tolerable even then).

A good number of people do nothing but stir shit up on the internal forums and mailing lists. They also seem to be "untouchable" because stirring shit typically takes the form of grievance peddling or white knighting, so if you just let them go, their (rather extensive) cliques would give you hell for "discrimination" and write petitions, go to the press, etc, etc, as we've seen after a few higher profile departures over the past couple of years. You don't want to be called a misogynist or racist for disagreeing with literally anything they say, do you?

It'd be good for the leadership to grow some gender-appropriate gonads, and refocus the company on the business side of things for a change. Activism is fine, just not on the company's time, and not when it impacts the business or other employees. Just like I don't want to hear what church (if any) you go to, or what gender you prefer in bed, I also don't want to know what your political preferences are. Nor do I like to feel obliged to share your opinion any of those things, even if you think you're "right". I'm trying to work. You're getting in the way.

This should apply equally to all: as a conservative, I don't want to hear about conservative issues at work either. I want to hear about work, and _only_ work.

China's government certainly deserves criticism, but I notice that there has been a big increase in posts critical of China on large forums such as Reddit and Hacker News in the last half-year or so, which leads me to suspect that some such posts may be astroturfed or inspired by astroturfing. The Hong Kong situation could explain some of it, but the increase I refer to began before the recent Hong Kong crisis.
If your question is whether being part of the Zapier integration catalog will drive new customers / business, then I wouldn't count on it being a major growth channel. Though, being listed will serve as additional credibility and will likely have branding and SEO benefits for you.

On the other hand, we found that building a Zapier integration made customer on-boarding faster and smoother, which helped to speed up our overall sales processes. While slightly different from your use-case, our product requires an API integration, so allowing customers to integrate via Zapier instead of requiring development effort to support our APIs has reduced the cost, time/conversations, and resources necessary for our customers to work with us. It also reduces technical support requests.

Finally, seconding what lpellegr said, Zapier has now introduced Partner Tiers, meaning that you need to get your own users before you can graduate to a listing level of beta and then even more users before you get other benefits like a blog post and potentially featured status.

Overall, I'd look at whether these benefits are worth the engineering effort. If your main goal/priority is marketing then there may be other exciting growth/marketing opportunities that would be a better use of time with better ROI. Hope this is helpful.
At some point, it's just called "dating."

This is like saying I'm doing "online job seeking" because I find out about jobs online. At a certain point, that's just the default for how it's done. Similarly, I'm not "online working" because my job is done mostly online. I'm just working.
Yeah, there's very few of my opinions I hold now that I would've been able to invent in a vacuum. I adopted pretty much all of my opinions from seeing them online among others and reasoning my way to decide between the options. If I had never seen the opinions I now hold, then I probably wouldn't have picked them. If these good opinions that I ended up picking had been lost in the noise of a sheer flood of bad opinions, then I would've become a different person easily.

The idea of a good text-generating AI possibly being able to flood forums is a little scary, and the idea that even the little bit of caution OpenAI has done is elitist is ridiculous.
The point really is resort to violence. If people can't get access to guns, I'm confident they can be enterprising enough to find other ways to defend themselves and their property.

But since they do in reality, especially if they are profitable and thereby gain power, it seems like something that should be discussed.
