Amusingly, the video starts with the same exact music that I use to put my kids to sleep at night. It's used in one of the more popular sleep music videos on YouTube. I just thought this was pretty funny. Ideally a municipality would arrange for some music standards and source something that's not also usable by a random video publisher like that...

That should be "Inside of Europe" because the barriers to selling cars in the EU are just about the same as selling Nevada cars in California.

For US->Europe tariffs for cars are around 10% I believe.
What jurisdiction does the US have to nab Somali pirates off a skiff off the coast of Africa and bring them to trial in NYC? What jurisdiction does the US have to kill terrorists on foreign soil?

Probably a lot less jurisdiction than people mucking about in US markets...

When I was at IBM I had a laptop running OS/2 (which has things I miss to this day). Current startup, all MacBook Pro (well 2 windows guys and a handful of Linux). Last startup all MacBook Pro. Startup before that which is now public with 1000s of employees, MacBook Pro starting back in 2007. IT requirement for all was turn on FileVault, give IT the key. Google Apps for everything, any other system like CRM is in the cloud (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc). Firewalls PFsense with OpenVPN. Switches for building / DC (our own at 2 places), UniFi for others. IT at least in this area is something that comes after you go public. You higher what is now called DevOps (was called good sysadmin when I started) for build and test infra when it gets to big for the original engineering team to deal with. Remember when you had a work cell?

Administrative privileges .... to what?

There's no single social media administrative privilege across platforms that I'm aware of.
Arguments about the merits of sunshine earlier in the morning or sunshine later into the afternoon are a distraction. Some like one, the rest like the other. They will never agree, but some will adjust their own schedule to their own needs. As a society, we could make jobs accommodate different needs.

The essence of DST is polititians drunk on the power to legislate sunrise and sunset, primal forces of the universe. Why do we extend them that power? When will we take it away?
Which probably means that they're not exaggerating their misery.

The human experience is relative. If you're stronger than you were before you feel strong. If you're poorer than you were before you feel poor.

Manual labour jobs have about as much bearing on how a graduate student feels about their day to day as does a gazelle being eaten by a lion.
>I have no doubt that some Americans legitimately dislike DST—not just the change of clocks, but the redistribution of sunlight from morning to afternoon.

I don't really feel like most people complain about the specific time the sun sets, as much as they are complaining about the disruption to their circadian cycle. I dislike the short days during winter, but changing the time the sun sets an hour forward or backward isn't ultimately going to create more hours of sunlight during the day.

What i will say however, after a year of living in a country now that doesn't observe DST, is i greatly appreciate not having a disruption to my sleep cycles in either direction. My dog also appreciate not having the disruption to his daily routine either. I adjusted to just waking up when the sun rises, wanting to go to sleep within a few hours of the sun setting, and when it's cold outside and the days are shorter i find myself wanting to spend more time inside sleeping anyways.
An academic studying motivation in humans and video game design collated 70 or so papers on motivation in humans trying to figure out what it was that motivated people, and apply that to video games. He found that nobody really knows, they all just describe the outcome as feedback or reward without any qualitative description. This is in his talk he did on youtube somewhere.

I don't think you can build a biochemical model of internet addiction as it differs on what the content you are addicted to is. Some people can frequently check up on new recipes or different news forums and others don't at all. It can differ per topic per person. Instagram does nothing for me but means a lot to some women.

A militia is an organization, not an individual. Well-regulated organizations have a stated and understood mission, rules as to how that mission will and will not be pursued, and governance that is independent of the execution of that mission.

Thus we have civilian oversight of the military, legislative oversight of the executive as part of checks and balances, boards of directors overseeing corporations and non-profits, etc.

A solitary individual with a gun, no matter how good a person they are, is neither well-regulated nor a militia.

It’s not legal if employers specifically use it to disrupt employees’ attempts to organize. The NLRA specifically grants employees the right to organize and it prohibits employers from monitoring these organizing employees.

The fact that Google employees, in this case, may not be considering forming a union at this time is irrelevant. The meetings they are having may prompt them to form one at a later time. Either way, their freedom of association is protected.
I just tested this on my partner's phone. She uses Instagram through the app still. I asked her to disable all of the camera/microphone permissions.

We then used the Shortcuts app to set up a "desktop" icon to take a photo and share with IG.

It worked like a charm. It still gives her the option to edit the image/filter it/whatever, but she doesn't have to give her entire photo roll or camera access to the application.

She's actually thrilled (and sufficiently creeped out by these accounts). We don't keep FB around as an application so someone else might have to test that out.
Pixelfed doesn’t yet have a mobile app, which is the primary requirement for a platform that wants to compete with Instagram. Until there’s an app, I don’t see it picking up more users.

You shouldn't be in that position. You are a user, Reddit shouldn't out you in a position to have to do their job for them.

At the very least, you should get a cut of the ad revenue your sub brings in. No technical reason they couldn't do that, and it would incentivize you to behave, as well.
How depressingly true. Run out of technical innovation? Let's switch to subscription services!
You can get a lot done with re-projection and temporal anti-aliasing. At the most abstract level you can consider it an encoding problem: given an image, what's the marginal entropy of a slightly deviating image? There's very little that actually needs to be uniquely computed.

Edit: If you're willing to give up strict coherence between views you might be able to do even better.

That's not the case with my plan at all. We can use all the exact same providers as the traditional plan on our high deductible/hsa plan. We just switched to the high deductible plan a few years ago (after doing the math and realizing how much better of a deal it is), but we've kept all of our same doctors and specialists as we used before.
The site still feels more inclined toward political discussion than it used to be. There were the occasional explosions like when Chelsea Manning was arrested and when Schwartz committed suicide, but the site used to feel more technical... at least to me. I have no hard data.

I think you're confusing money with resources. Money is a medium of exchange. The resources are real.

Governments frequently consume more resources than they can purchase with the taxes they collect.

Yes, they could just print all the money they could ever need. And when they do, inflation runs wild. Then a government cannot borrow in its own currency because no one will trust it. Or it must pay a high rate.

The US government is in a unique situation. It's been able to print much more than a government normally could because it is the most trusted reserve currency in a rapidly globalizing world. Trillions of dollars are held overseas. And if the dollar loses that role, you will see a lot of inflation as those dollars return to the US. Even if it doesn't lose that role and the world just stops taking additional dollars, the US would have to print less to keep the same rate of inflation.

Most governments don't fall into this category. And no country is in this category forever.

A country's currency is really just another form of debt. And while it may never run out, the more it prints, the more it declines in value. It's not debt people can collect on, but the law of supply and demand will certainly collect on this debt.

And it's also a tax, a tax on savings. And the country could remove dollars from circulation, thereby reducing this debt and reversing the decline in the value of savings.
> So, now we need about 100 pumped hydro plants of the same size as largest one energy storage facility in existence

There are about 70 > 1MW pumped storage stations around the world already, with 40 more planned (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage_hydroel...), mostly in China. These are just glorified dams and as far as dams go they're tiny, so scaling up (and maybe down too) isn't an issue, there are an estimated 84,000 dams already in the United States. At ~$4 bilion dollars to build 100 of them would come in at the cost of about 1/3 the F-35 program and deliver much more national security.

So it's entirely feasible to have enough pumped hydro storage to cover this mythical scenario of a continent having no wind for an hour.

The phrase "well-regulated" is an idiom that means something like "working as expected, calibrated correctly, normal, regular". You can't interpret an idiom literally based solely on the words that it's made from - idioms have their own independent meaning.

The following source gives examples from the Oxford English Dictionary of how the idiom was used from 1709 through 1894, demonstrating how the idiom 'well-regulated' has meaning beyond 'regulations' i.e. laws.

https://www.constitution.org/cons/wellregu.htm

> 1709: "If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations."

> 1714: "The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world."

> 1812: "The equation of time ... is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial."

> 1848: "A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor."

> 1862: "It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding."

> 1894: "The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city."

The sense of the term above is something like 'normal', 'well-ordered', 'regular'. Indeed the word 'regular' also shares the same origin as the word 'regulations', yet its common meanings are unrelated to the concept of regulations.

Parsing the 2nd Amendment, the US Supreme Court wrote that "the adjective “well-regulated” implies nothing more than the imposition of proper discipline and training", and elaborated (quoting another scholar, Thomas Cooley):

> The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms; and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose. But this enables government to have a well-regulated militia; for to bear arms implies something more than the mere keeping; it implies the learning to handle and use them in a way that makes those who keep them ready for their efficient use; in other words, it implies the right to meet for voluntary discipline in arms, observing in doing so the laws of public order.”

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/554/570/#tab-opi...

The phrase "a well-regulated militia" in this context consequently means a militia that's learned, proficient, and effective in firearm use. In any case, what we're discussing is the preface of the amendment, which announces a purpose for the amendment and does not limit it. As the court wrote:

> The Second Amendment is naturally divided into two
parts: its prefatory clause and its operative clause. The
former does not limit the latter grammatically, but rather
announces a purpose. The Amendment could be rephrased, “Because a well regulated Militia is necessary to
the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

Could not disagree more; the community is an echo chamber because of how poorly dang treats dissent, and more importantly how easy it is to silence alternative viewpoints here.

As a result, growth doesn't happen here, only self validation. Try taking a nuanced view on privacy if you disagree.

Nope. In many places in the states you have little to no protections. (You can be fired for being trans, for example.)

> Are they going to build chapels for every religion?

Most workplaces I've worked have had a 'quiet room' or similar that was designed to be a private space for personal prayer if needed. It had a chair and clean carpet, but was otherwise unadorned. It just couldn't be booked as a conference room. There are folks whose religions require them to pray during the day, and having a space to quietly do so seems (to me) to be reasonable?
Be careful with that private school generalization. I send my kids to private school (on my dime). For all my kids, I would say on average about 40% of each class has kids there on scholarship - some classes more, some less, with scholarship being needs-based, performance-based, or both. So the implied "private school kids come from wealth" generalization isn't always true.

I’d be shocked if amazon in fact had a policy that only Muslims could use the prayer rooms.

Christians and Jews should be able to use them if they choose. I googled around and could only find statements that Muslim employees of a security contractor for amazon were not allowed to use the rooms for a while, but after protests and NLRB intervention now are.
DevOps Practices by Google Cloud
There is a solution to Hyrum's Law: Change undocumented details on every release. If you have hash tables, change the hash function. Change offsets and placement of struct members. You can't change everything somebody might accidentally or foolishly depend on, and yes, some users' code will break, but the sooner it breaks, the less disruptive the bug revealed is.

For many years, the maintainer of GNU libc refused to accept bug reports for behavior that wasn't documented, and gleefully broke undocumented behaviors that users had been so foolish as to rely on. As people were accustomed to this, it caused little actual difficulty, and gave enormous freedom to make improvements throughout the system, so the library continued to improve.

Some people responded by copying the code they depended on into their own programs. OpenSSL was one such project, and the code they copied in, and the code that depended on incidental details of it, was a very fertile source of gaping security holes.

When I've done job interviews I've always given feedback to candidates. In fact, when we were actively trying to sponsor visa positions we legally had to record exactly why a local candidate was not suitable for the position. We gave that feedback to the candidate and also added some information about how the candidate might improve their pitch for other jobs. For example, if we felt that the candidate was overstating their experience in an area, we would tell them this and explain why we felt that way.

Occasionally we would get questions back. There is a point at which you have to stop answering questions, though. We're not a tutoring service. At that point we'd just say something like, "We don't have any more detailed feedback other than what we've given you. Good luck on your job search" kind of response. We never got beligerent replies from candidates, but sometimes got them from recruiters.

The recruiters are the real problem because they will sometimes (some of them even often) demand "partial payment" for candidates that they thought were "good enough" but who we rejected. We had to write a few strongly worded "Our decision is final and we believe it is justified" letters to those recruiters. Saying that we won't accept any more candidates from the recruiters if they persist shut up most of them, but not all of them.

Eventually we gave up using recruiters anyway because they were essentially giving us random candidates. I think if you can find good recruiters and you can build up a good rapport with them, this kind of feedback is as useful to them as it is to the candidate. If you can't, then you are better off without them.

So, if anyone is wondering if it's worth doing, I would say that my experience is generally positive.
