It would be nice to show statistics, isolated cases are rarely really interesting to discuss.

On the Iran side, he was slammed because there was already a deal, which according to independent observers was working reasonably well.

In terms of North Korea, it might have been a reasonable strategy if there was any evidence of a lasting deal. As it is, it looked like a PR dance by both leaders. Who knows what was going on with the Taliban.
No, in my opinion, we need to start working so that wars don't even make sense. A concept of the distant past. A future in which our descendants don't even know what wars are. In my vision there are no legitimate reasons for wars to exist at all. Of course this concept will sound alien and completely nuts for the majority, who are still in the fear based mindset; But then you can ask: So how do we protect ourselves from those that are attacking us ? The day we can answer this question without violence in the mindset is the day we evolve as humanity;
Discussing Uber and Lyft is boring because the companies are so reviled, but this bill is much bigger than Uber and Lyft.

It seems the ABC contracting test is pretty detrimental to any kind of contract hiring that is done in an area which is closely related to a company’s core business.

Software development contracting in particular seems like it would be particularly problematic under this test.

I contract out work all the time which I closely manage many aspects of how the work is done, and for work which is core to my business operations, and within my core competency.

Mostly this is to be able to quickly scale up development capacity during a project where there are isolated pieces that can be worked on concurrently. It’s often work that I could do, but for scheduling purposes, would rather hire out.

I’ve also done “micro-contracting” where I break out specific problems which I could eventually figure out a solution but it’s easier to find an expert who can spend 5 hours on it while I keep moving on other pieces of the puzzle.

What I’m doing seems like it’s exceptionally common, and because of how ABC test is a logical AND I’m not seeing the “escape hatch” where it wouldn’t be basically preventing software contracting work for software companies.

1: MAD doesn't really work anymore because of the advent of hypersonic cruise missiles and the likes of russia's Burevestnik/Skyfall. There's probably not going to be a 1980s scenario of two sides launching all out against each other and having a few minutes to contemplate the end.

2: Tactical (not strategic) nuclear weapons are very likely to be used on the battlefield in the next major conflict involving the superpowers. The most plausible pathway to a nuclear armageddon is if the number and yield of these tactical weapons keeps escalating until one side finally has enough and launches a strategic strike.

This problem of legally differentiating between employees and contractors has been around for a while and relates to multiple factors so it is informative to look at this in contextual terms. This arrangement has become known as the "ABC Test". There is a good summary of what it means at The Balance Small Business: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/what-is-the-abc-test-for-indep... and discussion of adoption of this test by the California Supreme Court at the California Public Agency Blog: https://www.calpublicagencylaboremploymentblog.com/wage-and-....

To attempt to summarize in a way that answers your questions: First do you know how to do the work and use your own expertise to adapt to circumstances or do you follow specific direction, training, and escalation procedures as dictated by management? If you are following a script as trained and have someone overseeing you as you work then you are an employee. If you know what to do and get only summary instructions then you are likely a contractor. Second, if you are hired by a cleaning company to extend their cleaning capacity using their methods and equipment then you are likely an employee, but if you are hired by a software company to sweep their floors whenever they get really dirty then you are probably a contractor. Finally, if you do cleaning on your own for various clients and are hired to do cleaning then you are likely a contractor, but if you clean for one client by their instruction and with their oversight and support then you are probably an employee. Note that each of these criteria has substantial wiggle room and the idea is they all work together to support a decision one way or the other.

You can see how GPT-2 works on a social media site in the "SubSimulatorGPT2" subreddit, where every post and comment generated by it (but it's probably just the smaller model) sometimes it's funny sometimes it's scary:

I tried OpenVPN and IPsec and IPsec works much better for Windows client and Linux server. Also CPU load for server was much lower (I'm using very low power VPS). I don't think that it's because of userland implementation, but rather because OpenVPN has some implementation issues. So I'm using IPsec now. Unfortunately I've hit some problems with IPv6. I managed to configure real IPv6 address from /64 VPS subnet for each client, but this configuration does not work reliably.

Another problem is that I did not found a way for Windows to keep tunnel up all the time. There's some way for "Always on" connection, but I couldn't configure it, there's no GUI option and it seems to require a lot of powershell magic and no easy to follow tutorials.

Another problem with IPsec is that only strongswan can provide adequate implementation. OpenBSD iked daemon can't send certificate chain, so I can't use Letsencrypt certificate. Libreswan does not support MSCHAP-V2 protocol, so easy configuration with username/password is not possible. Also default strongswan configuration does not allow Windows clients to connect without further tweaks (Windows does not want to use strong ciphers and strongswan does not want to use weak ciphers).

It's a mess.

So, yeah, wireguard might be interesting for me, as I still did not find a suitable solution which checks all the boxes. IPsec works for me, but it's not ideal.

Last time I checked, wireguard for Windows was in beta, but it looks like it's stable now according to the website. I guess it's worth to try it now.
Any source for that claim? I'd expect salary and drug testing to be the two biggest factors dissuading top engineers from applying to the NSA.

Personally, I'd find working for the NSA to be much more interesting than what I'm doing currently, but I just can't justify taking a 50% salary hit to work there.

If I were the president, I'd think about opening a sixth military academy specifically focused on Cyber warfare. You could then require graduates to work for the military/NSA for five years after graduation, and you'd only need to throw insane money at fifty or so professors.

I agree! These limitations on labor are simply abusive to the kids they apply to and enable a predatory monopoly of old white men (the NCAA and universities and the coaches) to continue to profit on free labor.

That's where my understanding of compiler / Operating system / standard library falls a bit short.

I suppose the full ocaml standard library isn't available when you compile your code to native iOS or native Android, is it ?

I mean, iOS and and Android are probably not POSX compliant. File system and networking access have very specific constraints, that are way different than your regular server. At least that my feeling whenever i code in iOS. Your application needs to whitelist URLs in a plist, you need to work with foreground / background states (eg timer are paused when in background). I can't imagine that the standard ocaml library doesn't need adaptation to run in those environment.

Am i wrong ?

I worry that you (and me, and others) have bought in to the "flexibility" bullshit that Uber often spouts.

Most people still have the same rough, basic needs. A "supplementary" income is not enough to do this. Every single Uber driver I've ever asked does it as a full-time job, but doesn't get the pay or protections of a full-time worker.

Especially in the UK and other more regulated countries than the US, becoming an Uber driver takes time and money as you require a licence. People aren't doing it as a side-gig. It's their job. And Uber knows it.
They design the Buicks in China now and carry it over to the US in a twist of tables.

Always happy to see another language being born, especially one that's put together like this - assuming all of it works (have not yet downloaded or played with it, this is based on reading your website)

That said:

1. This is bikeshedding, but you cannot make a statement like "diagram is the code, code is the diagram" and not show how to actually do that. The home page even has a sequence diagram. If you meant that the written code looks like a sequence diagram if you squint, then say that.

2. What makes this a Perlis language? I knew every term in the by example summary [1]. Is it annotating functions as services with metadata, or in-language support for xml/json, websockets/http2, etc? How is that different from other batteries-included languages like wolfram, for example?

3. Related: the problem with a batteries included language is that it gets bigger and bigger over time; hence the idea of "small language, large library base". What will you do with the language when its usage pivots over time - add more batteries as standard?

4. Minor: Many links to GH on the community guide page [2] end in 404s.

> What happened to European drivers?

I don't know. That's crazy. In the last 5 years, the vehicle fleet has changed faster than it ever did before.

In my rural area, it's now SUV everywhere (not yet American-size SUV, but still... and I have no doubt it is coming) for the random people.

As far as farmers are concerned, it got even worse: after 60 years without using a single pick-up truck (despite their long-standing popularity in the USA, it absolutely never took off here), all of a sudden (it started sometime like 3-5 years ago) they all buy pick-up trucks (all double cabs of course). Yep, same farmers who like to whine and claim to barely survive on $400 a month, but agricultural subsidies do marvels apparently: no wonder they can afford $40k-50k useless cars when in my municipality a 1- or 2-people farm will get on average $40k-$60k subsidies each year; my neighbour got $80k subsidies last year, he bought a second pick-up truck.

What is left? Craftsmen/builders: either switched to pick-up too, or still use their big vans, and still drive like maniacs. 'Neo-rurals' (the contemporary version of hippies): they drive old smoking huge vans. Delivery men: vans, of course, but there are more and more of them, and well, they drive like delivery men...

So the large vehicles remained, but the small ones got replaced by larger ones.

And this is happening in a place where secondary roads are 2.5 to 3 meters wide! And it is a hill/mountain area, so those roads are very winding, the visibility rarely exceeds 50 meters. Just picture yourself the situations...

Add to this that with the generalisation of air-conditioning, cars are more and more airtight, and thus more and more soundproof (so drivers are more isolated from the environment); add also that car windows are more and more opaque, so that you cannot see through them what is coming on the other side.

I still ride a bicycle but only because I am fairly suicidal. I don't see families going for a Sunday bike ride with children any more.

Naturally, the officials' discourse are the opposite of what is going on and what they do about it. Same way that they always claim they want more train transportation but in fact shut down railroads, build bypass roads over the former tracks, and launch projects of new speedways.

4 could easily be true also. If I am a Polar Bear hunter but I can't travel so far in search of my quarry because the ice is melting and can't support the weight of my snowmobile then bear numbers could indeed rise. Whether they continue to rise as temperatures increase is anyone's guess.

In the end it matters little if the planet is warming from natural or man-made causes. If the environment is sufficiently degraded that things start to come apart then everything is in trouble.
This isn't a technical issue, but I think that it's important: working for the government comes with less pay, but there was always the idea that you were putting in effort for the benefit of the country. In my opinion the NSA has squandered that and they have somehow ended up in the same category as Palantir and Facebook.

I'm not sure how they can fix this, but I do think it will need to be addressed if they want to hire and retain top talent. They have interesting problems but no one will work on them if they feel they are, in the end, hurting their fellow country-people.

>That states like China and Russia can recruit the best cybersecurity talent in their respective countries, and force them to work for the government, while the United States can't, is a problem.

Huh? Why the united states couldn't? It's government/military budget is much higher...

As for the "force them", China and Russia don't need to force anyone to work for their cybersecurity teams either (nor it would be wise to have someone do such crucial tasks against their will).

Except that it is. A one way street, that is.

You are simply asserting that "sexist stereotypes contribute to more skewed representation", which is no better than asserting that wet roads cause rain.

First, there is nowadays strong evidence that people generally do not hold explicitly sexist views. So the fact that people know that there are, for example, fewer female software engineers does not mean that they think women are incapable of being software engineers. Knowing that there are fewer female software engineers and therefore a software engineer you encounter is more likely to be male is not sexist, it is simple knowledge of the facts.

So what about "implicit bias"? Well, the poster child for implicit biases, the Implicit Association Test, is actually highly dubious, as results (a) are highly inconsistent [the same person will get wildly different scores on different instances of the test] (b) quite weak and a bit different than reported and (c) do not predict biased behaviour.

What do I mean with "a bit different than reported"? IIRC, it was reported that the IAT showed men being biased against women. Which was a bit of mischaracterisation: for male subjects, there was no difference in "bias" for/against women or men, but women had a positive bias towards other women. So there was a difference, but not quite what was reported. (This in-group bias was also discovered in a different study).

Finally, what about the backwards causality? Let's take Stereotype Threat. Results were always weak and somewhat questionable, and basically crumbled in the replication crisis, the effect disappearing when controlling for publication bias.

>- I don't want each company to be forced to pay a minimum wage per hour that then means a driver loses the flexibility to drive for multiple companies at once.

Those two things do not compute. How does the amount being paid determine where a person can/cannot work?
I can hold two jobs now if I wanted (even though I'm being paid way more than minimum wage), and that's as long as I honor the contract I have with my current employer.

>- I don't want drivers to lose the flexibility to do this on a casual or flexible basis. Quotas and the like will mean the only option is to drive full-time. I'm all for people being able to supplement income. I feel like this is useful to a lot of people.

This one too. I get that companies will start to prefer full time drivers, but just like in other industries, there will be temp workers and part time workers.

And depending on how the laws are written, there will also be "contracting" companies that lyft and uber could use to fill up their drivers. Kind of like how Via is doing in NYC - from what I can tell very few drivers actually work for Via, instead they work for all these other car companies, and Via delegates rides down to those companies who then dispatch the vehicle.

These regulations will cause a sea change in how this industry works. Whether it is for the better or not is something time will tell.
