You should have enough to shelter in place for a reasonable outage, plus enough that when that clock runs out, to decide you need to head to the hospital, and enough time to actually get there.

People who aren’t capable of planning this out for themselves should have a social worker doing it for them, and obviously people need to be capable of operating their life essential equipment at home, or they need someone on hand to operate it for them.

I mean - how can “you die if the power goes out” be an acceptable risk to send someone home to? I assume that would be medical malpractice.

In reality, and in this case, a backup was on hand. Something else happened/failed in the intervening moments which contributed to this person’s death.

IMO the story is being weaponized irresponsibly against PG&E because they make a good target which sells a lot of clicks.

Suggested reading: Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe by Peter D. Ward and Donald E. Brownlee. The basic premise is that complex life is incredibly rare, because only through a series of effectively chance events, did complex life happen on Earth.

Even if each of those events were actually inevitable, planet size, radiation received from host star, exact chemical makeup of atmosphere/oceans and any number of other variables could affect the time scale for a planet to fruit.

Maybe not reasonable to expect it built in, I shouldn't have the jailbreak my own device though.
I use VLC on my iDevices, and I add media to it pretty easily. The fact that you expected this to work out of the box is interesting - I mean, I agree, it should work that way - but the fact that you can still very much manage your entire Media library on an iPad, user filesystem basis, shouldn't be discarded. You just didn't know you could do that with VLC maybe? (Or FileExplorer, or many of hundreds of other apps ..)
Yeah, I suggest that in my last sentence. I think it's a bit dishonest but I guess practical.

"This is like forcing motor cycle riders to wear helmets."

Which is the case in many countries including mine. When they enacted the law I was still a youngster driving his motorcycle, constantly speeding and doing those things people do in their 20s. I hated that law, then a few accidents and fractures later I realized that the "stupid" law probably saved my parents from the horror of outliving me. I'm also for 100% freedom of choice but it must not impact others and must be accompanied by 100% information about the consequences.
Back to the topic, if I drink shitty sugary drinks for years becoming fat and one day I get a fatal stroke, that's an error that can't be undone, so I'm all for limitation of freedom in this and similar cases.

I basically want it to be the udemy for books.

No. Next question.
No, companies are not legally required to maximize profits, and certainly not through every available method. Shareholders might disagree with a less profitable decision, and shareholders may band together to force different actions, but this is a matter of corporate governance, not legal mandate.

There are in fact for-profit "benefit corporations" whose explicit goal is something other than shareholder profitability.

Even if your claims was correct, it wouldn't mean companies had to give in to China's demands. They might reasonably argue that it benefited short term profitability at the cost of long term profitability or even the viability of the business itself.

In short, companies have plenty of legal leeway in determining their actions without profit being the sole motivator.
Ah, of course. My personal experience from several employers has been that people who believe that they can judge programmer skills by listening to their bullshit end up hiring bullshit artists. I have also worked with programmers who could easily spin a tale that covers all your questions but still couldn't write a single working line of code. Coincidentally, they were masters at explaining why the project is delayed.

I'm in Europe, so it's not easy to fire wrong hires after trial period, but I have never even seen anyone admit that they made a wrong hiring decision.

As an interesting case, one company I worked at hired an architect who had failed their rather trivial coding test but interviewed well. That person, together with company management, ended up driving away several competent engineers.

I won't work any more for employers who don't require a programming test. Your experience may be different.

It's easy to define a rule; the hard part is enforcing it.

I've been on an HOA board for a couple of years.

Here are some of the things I have learned.

Some people (about 5%) are cranks. We have received legal threats because another owner parked in "their" unreserved parking space. Another owner disputed the cost of a roof repair: they had calculated the size of the roof over their condo and that's all they were willing to pay. It's easy to resolve a disagreement when both parties are reasonable but challenging when one of them isn't.

Some people don't read or listen. Some of the same people ask the same questions every month. You can send emails and place flyers but you will never reach everyone.

Some people are special snowflakes. Any HOA board receives regular requests to bend the rules for individuals.

Our rules have changed several times since I joined the board. None of these changes were done on a whim - each time it was in response to an issue or a liability to the association. Owners don't see the many emails and discussions behind a rule change.

Serving on an HOA board is a thankless job and can be a substantial time commitment. I joined the board because most of the other owners had already served and someone had to do it. I ran again last year because we are in the middle of a major construction project and I didn't want to leave the other board members hanging.

TLDR - HOAs are an exercise in politics on a small scale.
At work I am constantly battle the following sources of crufty bollocks: the ftp server, the windows-share fileserver, the 'one the linux guys use' (its ssh..), the jira ticket-attachments, the confluence 'pages', peoples mobile-phones, and so on.

I'm not a huge fan of capitalism, but it's a bit of a stretch to call this situation a failure of capitalism when the whole debacle exists because the Chinese government is making demands of Apple, which is not very capitalist. It doesn't really make sense to attack the ideology using an example where the ideology isn't really in practice, unless your point is that capitalism fails because it isn't flexible enough to work in a world where it does not reach 100% adoption. If so, fair enough, but I think that same criticism applies to every other economic system.
I was an engineering director at a company that went public. It was a moderate IPO, nothing special either way.

Maybe because of that not much changed afterwards. There were a bit more compliance issues to deal with. We got a bit more money to spend. Recruiting became both a bit easier (known value of offer) and a bit harder (can’t sell the IPO dream anymore).

After IPO my total comp became about where it would be if I joined a large public company to begin with, so nothing especially good or bad there either.

So I guess for me all in all not much changed, just something became more explicit and known.

But I'm taking about having big trash bags piled on the street for 12+ h practically everyday. For instance, an easy solution would be to put them only 2-3h before the trash trucks come (I've seen them before the last train at ~11pm, the truck comes at 9am). A cultural-change would be to have big metal containers to put the trash away so that animals don't have an easy way in.
What is the compromise? What is insecure about me being me? Either we talk past each other not understanding each other's point, or I feel like you profoundly misunderstand the reason for people using username/password for authentication nowadays?

With most things you need to authenticate to gain access. Authentication is only trying to solve one question - identifying that a person is who they say they are. If I walk home and my wife sees me, she can identify me immediately by simply seeing my face and other biological attributes which gives her 100% certainty that I am who I am, therefore she doesn't question me on entering the house or calls the police.

If I was to go through some top secret lab experiment which would change my look (make me younger by 10 years or something) then I'd struggle to walk home and convince my wife that I am me without providing additional evidence, like sharing some secrets which only she and I know and we know that nobody else would know.

With technology so far we didn't have the ability to identify someone as confidently and as fast via biometrics (like my wife does) as via other means, which is why a few decades ago we had to invent a workaround, namely username and password - which is a secret that hopefully only me and the website knows. This was to date the best way to identify someone, but times are changing fast, as as biometric identificaiton via technology is advancing fast, we are more and more removing the need of username + password for authentication.

Hope now my point makes sense.

I'm not sure how banning advertising for something destructive and unhealthy is nearly as much of a slippery slope as you are implying.

Does it really seem like someone violating your choices because you aren't being fed certain advertisements? I haven't heard of anyone complaining that they never see ads for cigarettes anymore.
I think this could still be confusing as enough users will likely have no idea who "us" is in that message - if they understand the difference between browser and website at all. It could also be confusing if the website already provided its own autocompletion via JS: The user would get a message that autocomplete is turned off while they see that it seems to be right there.

But I think in general, some kind of prompt or override would work. I absolutely agree that if a user wants to use the browser autocomplete functionality, they should have an option to do so. I have no understanding for websites that just want to disable autocomplete without replacement.

However the concerns seemed to be about autocomplete being incorrect or conflicting with application-provided lists. I can see how that leads to frustration and confusion with users.

The Chrome team seems to trust its algorithm to an amount where they don't seem to find it necessary to deal with incorrect results - a view which doesn't match reality apparently.
Agree with what you said about what's important and what isn't in a particular situation. I mentioned it in the video (I said something like "...a Senior knows when to walk away and don't implement certain things...") but I forgot to write it in the post.

Your second comment is really interesting. I used to suffer from imposter syndrome but now I realised, as long as you got experienced and wiser, on just focus on different aspects, at a different level. I will probably talk about this topic soon.

I never said all apps should be web apps. I just wrote "always believe in the web" and that you should make a web app if possible.

But I honestly think all your examples are soon to be quite possible with WebGL and WebAssembly. Most apps I use today are web apps so you can do a lot more than just display CRUD. That is simply BS from your part.

Some examples, I stream all my movies that I rent via youtube, I talk to people in real time via Discord, I download files with WebTorrent and I do all my coding in Visual Studio Code.

All of those are web apps and none of those would I consider only to be CRUD apps. Downvote all you want, it is still true that you can do a lot more than simply CRUD on the web.

There is even image editors coming up, sure they are a bit basic still but I think that is about to change: https://pixlr.com/x/

It's weird, I rode motorbikes off road as a teenager and wouldn't have dreamed of not wearing a helmet, heavy boots and gloves etc.

Just bought a new bike to commute to new job (starting on a 125 and working my way up since not been on a bike for 20 odd years) and while a helmet was thrown in it'll be the first upgrade after proper jacket/pants.

I still don't get why it's even a debate, I've cracked two bicycle helmets from accidents that weren't my faults in impacts that without them would have been vastly worse.
That's not why.

Out of all my data, music and video is the thing I worry about least. I'm not going to lose my business or job because Apple Music stops working or I can't see the latest Netflix series. The last thing I want to spend my time doing is managing and worrying about terabytes of media.
> This is like forcing motor cycle riders to wear helmets.

Maybe this is a petty, pointless distinction, but I think they're quite different. Singapore banned the ads, not the actual consumption. Not wearing a helmet chiefly harms yourself, and it's hard to argue that it's immoral. Encouraging others not to wear a helmet, though... that seems pretty objectionable, just like ads for tobacco etc.

(Of course there are plenty of caveats needed to avoid a slippery slope, like drawing a distinction between advertisements and opinion pieces saying "helmets are bad".)

Because Generalization
No doubt our different perspectives are a result of us doing different things with Go.

I don't write compilers or other "highbrow" Computer Science-heavy programs. I most frequently find myself writing interface software, data converters, text extractors, near-system utilities. Lots of the kind of things some people might write in C or Perl. As a result, my usage of data types, even structs, is pretty light. Turns out I can do most of my work with the built-in types: integers, characters, strings, arrays and hashes. I rarely even need/use interfaces!

Data types don't play a big role in my work. Your mileage may vary, obviously.
I am still shocked at how little repercussions Intel has actually faced for this fisco.

It’s arguable whether it keeps up but it offers perfectly fine performance for pretty much whatever most people want to do, including a lot of gaming (with a proper GPU).

It does use considerable more power to do so — a few additional LED bulbs worth.

In general, processor performance has outpaced consumer needs for quite some time and most people could get along fine and performant with this 8 year old processor.

This is kind of pedantic, but I feel like you should specify video games here. Perhaps the consumer home platform personal computer video game market, even.

People have been playing cards, mahjong, chess, and catch greater than a century, so it's not some inherent ephemerality of games that's the problem here.

And even amongst the retro video game market, people are still playing console and arcade games that are decades old.

There's certainly a trend here, but I don't think it's something we should blame on the players.
