It could be anti competitive if you are a monopoly and it effects competition.

This is a common thing that happens in anticompetitive case law.

Just ignore the internet part of this, for a second. Instead, imagine if a train company, that owned all of the train tracks in the US, decided to retaliate against it competitors by banning some people from using their trains. This is anti competitive.

Being on the internet does not absolve you from anti competitive claims.

This is similar to internet clients. There isn't much difference, logically, from banning people from using your trains, vs banning them from using their stuff on the internet.

If something effects competition, and you are a monopoly, it could be considered anti competitive. It being on the internet doesn't change this.

For example, the generation that remembered the Great Depression and its aftermath did not fully pass from power till around 1990, for instance the elder President Bush.

Why are there so many studies looking at vitamin D and bone health? Vitamin D levels affect expression of over 400 genes in the human body, make a difference in cancer survival and are strongly inversely correlated with all cause mortality (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103214/ https://www.mdedge.com/psychiatry/article/66349/depression/v... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6201256/).

My humble opinion is many people here are fed up with climate discussions, and see them as off-topic. On the other hand, a vocal group (which as a disclaimer, I belong to), seems to believe not talking about climate change is currently akin to a Jewish family in 39` Germany not talking about the National-Socialist party.

The two groups communicate with each other almost as effectively as my 3 and 5 yo kids.

It's actually the middle class that pays the price, through insurance premiums, out-of-pocket co-pays, and high deductibles. Poor people have Medicaid.

Medicaid, which even happens to pay reasonable amounts for procedures performed. The entire system would re-adjust into a sustainable steady-state, if all prices were equivalent to Medicaid reimbursements. But I suppose that under such a model, the average middle-aged surgeon wouldn't be able to afford their third summer home...

Relatedly, the new .NET Span<T> APIs open up a lot more opportunities for stack allocation and "pointer arithmetic-style" work in "safe" code.

Find me another nation of that size (and of similar multiracial diversity) that has anything of similar or greater success. Don't bother listing countries that are 1/20th the size and non-diverse. It's not an equal comparison.

Not the parent here, but I use TypeScript with React day to day, as well as with node.

With hooks allowing a lot more inference in typing and removing most need for Higher Order Components, there aren’t any places where the typing feels like a big impediment. It’s definitely a lot better than it was, say a year ago.

You add the types on every function definition, and almost never have a problem.

Many people forget that the point of type inference is to eliminate uselessly redundant clutter, not to completely eliminate types from source code. A function is usually called many times, so keeping types on public API definitions and eliminating types from call sites and throwaway REPL code eliminates a huge amount of wasted typing (hah!) with near no loss of clarity.
Why “still” and “stuck”?
You talk about talk in your opening paragraph, yet these people are actually trying to do something so I am not sure why you are so against it? It doesn't matter if they are part-time, full-time, janitor, Lead Designer, or the office coffee boy. Climate change affects them and they are trying to take action in getting Amazon to listen to them. They are doing much more than you and I discussing it on HN.

> won't try to be a "hero" and use their insider access to try to sabotage your operations or leak confidential data?

We do have examples of that. Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.

SPC Manning, in particular, was particularly vulnerable to exploitation due to her dysphoria and her chain of command's inability to recognize this problem and mitigate it. And Wikileaks recruited and turned that asset.

Snowden was certainly regarded as a HUMINT asset by someone, but he's more the self-motivated ideological case that you're talking about.

In both cases, the penalties are much more severe than a private company can bring against an employee, so it's realistic. At the same time, I'm honestly surprised that there weren't more. There are a shitload of government contractors since the usual requirement is a clearance and a pulse.

> I mean if a person thinks they are literally saving the planet from destruction, sabotaging an oil company's cloud infrastructure seems like something that they would at least seriously consider doing.

It's the classic insider threat scenario. And so Amazon does have strategies to limit what rogue employees can do, as selling corporate clients on cloud services would be a nonstarter without it. I didn't have broad enough knowledge to speak to how effectively they're able to mitigate the threat.

> I think Amazon and the other cloud companies need to come down hard and state unequivocally that cloud services are not fodder for political crusades, and they will allow all companies that are conducting legal business activities, to be able to use their cloud.

I don't think you can crack down on people like that. They'll just go dark.

And my read of the senior guys is they're genuinely sympathetic to these causes. Maybe one response is, "you say you want urgent action, but you're engineers. You know that it's the slow grind that delivers solutions, not the sturm and drang."

It's interesting to speculate what would happen if an employee did leak customer data... many companies have gone through crises you'd think would wreck their reputation forever and the market turned out to be shockingly forgiving.

Or maybe we'd find out that private clouds are actually quite economical, you just get some standardized racks and run various management services. Hell, you can even resell excess capacity just like how Amazon got started.

Sort of. The problem being the Roku remote is sadly missing a few key basic functions, like primarily mute. So frustrating when you want to mute something and you can't cause you only have vol up/down on the Roku remote.

And it is so easy to hit the ESPN or 3 other "app" buttons on the remote so that can be annoying if you aren't careful picking up the remote or setting it down.

But overall yes, HDMI-CEC solves the remote issue overall except for the fact Roku poorly designed the remotes IMO.
More than one major national politician has talked about the potential end of the human race within the last year. I don't think it's helpful to get into an argument about what exactly constitutes "most folks" but let's not pretend that the doomsayers aren't treated credibly.
great baby! ;)
I take "manipulation" to be somewhat similar to "lying." The distinction is intent. So, you have at least three scenarios:

- 1) You earnestly express a belief, and it happens to have the desired outcome.

- 2) You express a belief primarily because you know what outcome it will create.

- 3) And the grey area: You honestly hold a belief, but you're also well informed about how that belief must be presented to modify your outcome.

Realistically, most of us live in that third option. The distinction between a job interview, and say, a dinner out with a friend, is that you're highly incentivized during a job interview to present yourself in the best light possible. Most of us are aware of how we'll come off when we make a statement, and there's always some incentive to come off in a better light. But, a job interview generally removes the possibility for blunt honesty. "Well, of course I'm excited to work here. If I don't express that excitement, you won't hire me!" Such a frank appraisal isn't really possible in a job interview. But in another (ie, a social) context, you could make a sarcastic quip, or even just an honest appraisal of the situation. "I'm excited to see you, but being in this crowded restaurant is giving me a bit of a panic attack." Maybe that's not the best social tact, but the option is much more available in a social context.

I'm meandering a bit here, but I hope my point comes through. When we're stuck in that grey area of option #3 in most situations in every day life, we can generally chose to go with honesty if we prefer. In a job interview, our success and survival depends on forcing us toward option #2.

I guess you're talking about MSVC. I find it hard to care much what that does. Code where performance matters much is not built with it.

Most people who actually understand climate change also don't expect beachfront homes to be under water in the next few years. It's a slow death/dramatic change of our planet, something that will take place over the next few generations, not the next decade. And if you - or anyone else - thinks it will only impact the poor, you're grossly mistaken.

Google Search has gotten worse in the past few years in my opinion. It seems biased towards newly published content and content from the top 100 sites or so. Before it felt like you were grepping the internet, but now it feels like you're at an airport newsstand. It will frequently re-write your queries for you if you are searching for uncommon things, and putting it in quotes doesn't always fix it.

Your local machine or private server is far more likely to be compromised by malware, IoT bug, or the unpatched zero-day of the week than infrastructure run by a professional security team with 24x7 staffing and TEXA$ to lose if they screw up.

Do you pore through all the logs on your system every few minutes looking for anomalies? Do you inspect every line of code before it gets anywhere near production?
>Then go home? Otherwise you are just lying to your employer and perpetuating a false pretense that their employees are being productive for a full day.

I am remote half the time. I'm not lying to anyone about anything. The measure of what I accomplish is our ticketing / planning system and the pull requests I put up to complete the various work tickets.

There is no reason to go home when I have a ten minute task I need to take care of. Same as a construction worker doesn't go home just because he needs to sit and rest for five minutes.

An example of when I would close a browser tab or switch away to another screen is when I'm having a personal conversation or looking into something banking related. I would do the same if someone came into the room even in a non-work setting.

> Also, we all know that software developers are not really salaried employees. It was a loophole created after IBM lost a lawsuit. After some lobbying we were made explicitly exempt. So we really are just paid to "run out the clock". We are not managers or administrative people. We just do labor like any other tradesperson.

Maybe there is a fancy technical definition of salaried that I am not grasping, but I get paid $X / year, with a predictable paycheck each week. I am not paid at an hourly rate. To me that is salaried.

> Are you saying that you frequently lie to people you work with and that you feel that is acceptable?

I never said I was lying to anyone. I don't think anyone in this entire thread suggested lying to your employer.

> Or are you talking about having extra free time where you don't actually have any additional work?

There is always more to do. That is the nature of life. But the truth is that we are people and not machines. You can't turn on a person and expect them to keep going at a steady rate day in day out forever. That is an assembly line mentality and I won't work under such conditions, nor do I think any self-respecting software developer should.
It's worth emphasizing that these Amazon employees aren't acting on their own -- they're taking part in a global climate strike: https://globalclimatestrike.net. Even if each person or company acting individually can't change anything, a large enough movement like this may make change possible.

The funny thing is that it seems that the amount of XLM you get (according to https://keybase.io/a/i/r/d/r/o/p/spacedrop2019) is related to the number of people who sign up.

It appears that the amount of airdrop money is being divided equally amongst all the people who sign up. So in a round-about way, after you have signed up, you are actually incentivized to not spread the news.

As it stands right now, if nobody else signs up, I will receive over $19,000 XLM (roughly $1136 USD).

So yeah. Nobody else sign up for this, please!
Medical schools are publicly funded universities, same for many hospitals. Doctors have decent funding by insurers (we have both single payer systems as well as competing ngo/private insurance companies, depending on country). Pharma gets to negotiate pricing with a central body and that's it. Of course big pharma cries all the time but ah well. Better than the US where people die because they can't afford insulin!
