I will tell my experience of being the guy who works for the company that acquired others, AKA "the others" or "the enemy."

First, we are paired with the "legacy team" AKA --> You, in this case.

And mainly two things happen with the "tribal minds" of the two companies collide:

1. My peers will feel that you are X or Y and will start to be condescending with you and make your life harder;

2. Your peers will feel that we are "cheap," "foreign," and ignorant labor that will undo all the good work you did.

Because of my personal history, I can feel and see both side's views. And then I like to work with Americans and Natives more than I like my culture.
(teamwork spirit is better)

Then I start to cut of the backstabbing and politics from my side, BUT I will ask and audit if you are playing fairly with us and consider and talk about the changes that will come and How can I make it easier for you[1].

If you don't play fair, I will have to enforce legal contracts and protect my company from you. If my side is not being fair, I will ask to "rotate" the team.

All the people who played fair were granted more work and more time and are right now earning more money and happier on my company or another. And I still really like them.

Conclusion: You got your badges, your war stories, and nice/elegant solutions. It was fun, but the owners need money. Nothing personal You need more challenges, and you Can Teach/Mentor better in other places. Thank you, soldier. I do hope we keep in touch because I love the way you did your terraform or scripts.

These were mailed separately, which is what surprised me. When I left a negative review, Amazon removed it because it's "not about the product". Appears their new policy is to provide customer name, address, email and phone to third party sellers.

The above is just my personal preference but the article itself goes in-depth on this topic with multiple interviews and pics that demonstrate the various people this concept can apply too, from millennials to displaced folks.
I think you’re reaching a bit. I’m aware of this. Most of all because what this article doesn’t mention is that q3test was also initially released for Linux before Windows and you better believe that was a huge deal on slashdot at the time. The beta was basically a Mac OS exclusive for 3 days. (I admittedly was quite the Linux fanboy then but even I think calling this a Linux/Mac exclusive for the first “alpha” as they said in the readme silly as compared to something like Myst or Oregon Trail)

It was also like a week and change gap for Windows. And then the later beta releases were Windows only. The final Mac release ended up being delayed until after Christmas.

If your acoustic environment is driving you nuts, you may want to speak to an audiologist and/or ENT. There is a condition called hyperacusis[1] worth asking about.

If everyday noise is debilitating or anxiety-inducing for and it doesn't seem like others are affected to the degree you are, it wouldn't hurt to speak to a hearing specialist. The causes and treatments of this (spectrum?) condition aren't entirely agreed upon, but tinnitus retraining therapy or other adaptation techniques might improve your life.

I had the very same experience and also sold my house because of it. The previous owners had sold it to me without disclosing the issue, but for the same reason (we disclosed it to our buyers).

The part of the article that resonated with me most was the feeling of helplessness, of impotence, of being assaulted and being unable to do anything to defend yourself.

I decided to sell the house when I started hating the dogs themselves. It wasn’t their fault, it was their awful owner, but after months of rough sleep in my guest bedroom (further away than the master) with earplugs in, I hated it all equally.

Here is another statement which you can characterize as "people who don't agree with me are part of a vast conspiracy."

> Republicans have been making concerted efforts to stack US courts with conservative judges.

Accusing someone of promoting a conspiracy theory is to accuse someone of making creating an unfalsifiable story, which does not seem to be the case in either my example statement or the original post. Specifically, there are no claims that "evidence to the contrary is fabricated" or "lack of key evidence is due to deliberate suppression." Now it may be the case that the author would respond in this way when presented with contrary evidence, or when pressed for some key supporting evidence, but as it stands there is no cause to levy the "mere conspiracy theory" charge at the author.
If this ever happens, the reality will be closer to having companies keeping 30% of the people to work 40 hours and just not bothering to hire the other 70%.

The the first points are very much on point for me. I don’t get why sources aren’t referenced. Is it because they are afraid the reader will leave the news site? An attempt at sandboxing the user?

The second point, particularly US writing/journalism seems to really have a very different writing culture than the European. It seems to want to be a story with a beginning a history etc before getting to the meat of the article. It often feels like the writer is paid by the word rather than interested to getting the point across. European journalism ties to get the hook in early, and the expand on it and draw you into the article more upfront with the meat of it.

Sure, but now they are a small company that has to maintain two separate codebases. Even big companies like Google can't keep their Android and iOS apps at feature parity, so something has to give and it's the early adopters with old hardware that is just not going to get any new features. Or they are going to have twice the software engineering overhead.

I get why you would start from scratch with an M4. I don't get why you would maintain two different codebases commercially, though.

> California average is 16.06¢

Not sure how they come up with such a number, but California is large and has many electricity providers.

But for PG&E in the Bay Area, let me quote from my PG&E electric bill here in hand:

Daytime: $0.53476 (delivery) + $0.25069 (generation) = $0.785/kWh

Part-peak: $0.28917 (delivery) + $0.10643 (generation) = $0.396/kWh

Night: $0.13578 (delivery) + $0.03968 (generation) = $0.175/kWh

The cheapest rate is 17.5 cents per kWh, that is late at night (currently after 11pm, soon to be changed to be after midnight).

Daytime rate is 78.5 cents per kWh! This is PG&E in the Bay Area.

No, not in the slightest. Well, aside from fluffing up my ego a little bit I guess, and I'm not sure that that is a good thing.
I liked the structure and delivery. The writer tries to sound sympathetic and paint the complaints as genuine, but it's delibrately left vague whether the person was misunderstood or delusional judging by the reaction of everyone else in the story. The seek for vindication motivates the reader to follow the text and the payoff was very well executed towards the end.

I'm sorry you didn't like it but it doesn't take that long to read anyway. Maybe a Medium style "time to read" notice would have helped, but I just think people don't give long form content the respect it deserves.

There are a lot of variables and these events don't happen that often so rules are hard to come by. That said being, I've been through three acquisitions and it really depends. How valuable are you personally to their strategy? If you're not, you're likely not going to enjoy it. IE: if you're in accounting and it was an engineering talent acquisition, then it's probably not good. If you are valuable to their strategy, then expect things for you personally to stay the same or improve. The big thing that happens is the company will likely become unbundled and they'll take the parts they like.

My latest has substantially improved the company. We're still very independent, employees made great money and now we have a strategic rudder and a patient investor that we didn't have before. In this case, our tech is very critical to their long term strategy.
Facebook is chipping away at privacy – and my profile has been exposed (2016)
I don't disagree with the piece, but it is quite biased.

The institutionalization of non-scientific (that is, there is no clear criteria of what constitutes the truth in knowledge) "crap" is much more wider phenomenon, and not just some aberration of "the left". Nor is it confined to universities.

Here are other examples:

- Neoclassical economics, especially the macroeconomics. (It's ironic they quote Hayek, who significantly contributed to its rise.) If you want a similar article with this example, look at Steve Keen's Debunking Economics.

- String theory in physics. This example shows that it doesn't have to be related to politics and society at all.

- Various project management methodologies, lately the Scrum and Agile craze.

The truth is probably that in many institutions, there is some atrophied department that mostly lost its useful function in favor of defending some internal dogma.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the black and white wealth gap continues completely unchanged for over 50 years, despite having addressed "racism". Wealth disparities have increased to levels not seen in generations. Your income remains tightly coupled and correlated to your parents income. Etc Etc Etc.

So basically, from any actual social scientific perspective, meritocracy always has been the bullshit fantasy of charlatan "economists" dolling their philosophy of human nature in the disguise of econometric models and regression equations.

Get back to me when you have evidence to support your claims and not just whining about "but muh SJWs", until then you can decide who felt this way about landlords

Mojave support ends in September 2021. You can still run your 32 bit Adobe apps with free security updates until then. That will have given you at least 10 years of use from your Adobe Suite purchase.

(After that time the apps will still run like they always did, but you may choose to keep that machine offline for security reasons).

I tend to think that's a pretty reasonable value for your money.

Yes, they do. ERCOT, as one example, is doing just fine, many of the southwest power companies are private and aren't having issues.

The prerequisite for steelmanning is that the argument presented to you does not "stand on its own", that it has flaws that you'd normally use to reject it - but instead, you decide to patch up the flaws and see if the stronger version works better.

It's an obviously good thing to do once you stop viewing arguments as competitive endeavor, but cooperative problem solving. If your co-worker was proposing a way to solve a programming challenge and you saw some flaws in it, you wouldn't shoot them down with "oh but this is wrong here, here, and it's also offensive". You'd say, "yeah, that could work, but it would be better if we did Y instead of X, and maybe let's not do Z because of $reasons". Applied to discussions in general, that's steelmanning.
Pretty much what Alibaba is practicing in China.

Important context here is that there never was any storm.

Shutting power as winds approach hurricane force is very sensible. Here (bay area) this week, the forecast was for winds in the 30mph range with gusts into the 40s. Windy yes, but hardly a storm.

The kicker is the winds never arrived. PG&E shutdown was scheduled for noon Wednesday but there no wind at all. So they postponed it to 8pm. At 8pm, no wind either. No further news from PG&E. At 11pm they cut power. Still no wind (maybe gusting to 2mph). Overnight - no wind. Next morning - no wind.

Nature really called them out here to highlight it was purely a political move. PG&E postponed the shutdown a few times waiting for the wind but when it never arrived they shut power down anyway.
If you are trying to cut California's wildfire risk, increasing legal liability of its electric utility is about the dumbest place to put your leverage that anyone could imagine. California could turn its power grid off entirely and only make a small dent in overall fire risk over time. All that dry brush has to go away somehow, and nature has historically done it with fires (no PG&E necessary).

Despite massive wealth, the California government's slide into 3rd-world standards has been pretty fast.
Maybe they wanted them back to study the parts? It's a completely new type of vehicle for them so they might have wanted real world data about the components.
Not always, and I was imagining one that wasn't, but you're right: that's the common case. Which is rather frustrating.
The rule I quoted states that (a . (b . c)) can be written as (a b . c).
On the dict property name thing, you can do:

{'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}

or

dict(a=1, b=2, c=3)

I find the second syntax easier to read and write for dicts where all of the keys are static strings that are valid Python variable names.
