That would be easier to do if Slack had better support for threading. But you can only have one thread open at a time, and if you're in the overall "Threads" view you have to click every single time a new comment comes in before it will show the comment.
It's more accurate to use the MAC address of the Wifi spot. Google was triangulating the locations of Wifi spots and recording their MAC address while taking pictures for Google Maps Street View.

From the FCC report:

> Between May 2007 and May 2010, as part of its Street View project, Google Inc. (Google or Company) collected data from Wi-Fi networks throughout the United States and around the world. The purpose of Google's Wi-Fi data collection initiative was to capture information about Wi-Fi networks that the Company could use to help establish users' locations and provide location-based services.
You don't need to prepend "Respectfully" in order to insult. You can just go ahead and say it directly, and what you are doing is helping climate change skeptics by hiding the fact that coal that was once in the ground is now being burned and released into the air as pollution.

If you dig out coal and burn it in a power plant then you are producing pollution and contributing to global warming. No amount of exporting green energy changes that fact.

You are trying to dodge the question why there is a big whole in the ground where the coal once where. Someone mined it. Someone burned it. Someone bought it. Each and everyone involved are partly responsible for the harm this act caused to the environment. It is a bit like thief stealing, a fence reselling it and a customer buying it without asking questions of why it is so cheap. It is not an elegant system because in the end a crime occurred and real harm has happened.

If you want to produce green energy or run a nuclear plant then do what ever feels best, but the coal stays in the ground. No amount of misleading can hide the fact that digging it out is harmful to the planet, both on a macro and micro level, and if you fund coal mining by buying their energy then you are part of the problem.
Just going out on a limb here, I may well be wrong, but you might want to consider asking around for better tools in this area. None of this sounds healthy. Or enviable, for that matter.

I have a couple comments.

First, most people are not at all "well-educated about the effects of recreational drug use", including medical professionals who are mostly only versed in the effects of legal drugs... Or are you referring to "legal" drugs here?

Second, there is a whole pharmacopeia of drugs that elicit a wide range of effects, and many of these drugs are not necessarily particularly "harmful" (e.g., the psychedelics). But really, moderation is the key ingredient in mitigating many of the compounding effects of repeated use (like physical dependency, which is a symptom only of certain classes of drugs).

Third, drugs are fun and people like to do them. Alcohol is a potentially debilitating, life-ruining drug, but we advertise it on the television. I would bet that most medical professionals consume alcohol.

Freedom is about assuming risk. Pretty soon we'll have no risk though, if the Plans continue as Planned.
Have you considered that women may prefer to heal than to code and when they need to choose a career they choose healing, so this is the real explanation why most doctors in my country are women and most people in IT are men?
Copyright is a concept from an earlier era when copying something required both, a somewhat unwieldy machine, and a physical object for each copy.

indeed, ownership is already about who has rights but it is also limited by the nature of whatever is being owned.

If we focus on inescapable constraints, i.e. not those imposed by society (which are arbitrary and can be changed), it turns out that technological developments have removed some of those constraints.

All you do is ignore new possibilities (and their accompanying new problems) by holding on to legal notions first introduced in the 17th century.
There's really no need for corpspeak here.
Ignoring the lifespan, they are pretty stodgy and conservative now, so middle-aged just seems a better fit.
"Weirdly this feels like a non-issue"

It is.

That page is awful with a hood that keeps flapping around up and down and text that is trying to be true to italics for quotes instead of lots of diacritics and ends up looking badly diseased. Then the letter sidesteps into a memo, which is equally odd and awkward. It's all a bit odd.

S and B (in my very opinionated ... opinion) did create a great thing in Google. I can't fault people trying to make a living and running with the ball to the point where the playing field is not just paved with gold but it nearly redefines what the concept of gold is.

I think they should have retired before "do no evil" was ditched. That would have cemented their status as internet demi-gods. Instead I think their legacy will be

Totally agreed. Many places don’t even run their AWS environments particularly well, but talk themselves into a most of their own making.

AWS is just another IT vendor. The weird dependency, reminiscent of 1980s IBM thinking, is bad for any company, at some point you become more of a vassal than a customer.
Good point about not having married the mother. I guess I should have said "custody or visitation rights issues".

However, the original point still applies. He does not suffer from these issues, and directly communicated that he did. That is a lie.

If you want this go on a cruise for a week and disconnect yourself. Don’t buy the WiFi package, tell everyone you’re in the middle of an ocean, gone.

I don’t get why people treat flying so ceremoniously; it’s a glorified bus ride. I still got shit to do, and I need access to resources. It is a waste of time to burn 6 hours when flying cross country for nothing. I could get a lot done in that time.
Software without context or purpose is worthless, so an inability to relate to other humans is a net negative.

Fortunately, doing is a technical skill that can be learned; however, the desire to do so requires first abandoning both that holier-than-thou attitude making flawed inferences about other people's preferences, and the narcissistic belief in your own Socratic importance.
Looks like this doesn't bring back the markup help text in the lower-right corner, which is a shame.

I really wish they'd just highlight your markup in the appropriate style while leaving the markup intact. That would solve the "I want to see what the markup I just typed will do" without any of the problems of the WYSIWYG approach. Basically just syntax highlighting for markup.
Whoa! I have trypophobia and just never knew what it was - I thought it was just a quirk of my brain.

Sometimes it creeps into my dreams - can be very disturbing.

Not surprising. There's little benefit to AWS from it being clear. We are pretty happy with Cloudability. Especially if you apply tags for app name, app version, portfolio group, environment, etc.

I've seen this explanation multiple times in this thread, but I find it incredibly hard to believe Alphabet was created to shift Sergey and Larry's time away from Google. It seems like there are far easier (and cheaper) ways of accomplishing this without creating a conglomerate.
The house example is exaggerated, but as I wrote in another reply: just as my personal physical property does not become company property if I am on their physical property, my personal data should not become company data if I am on their network.

> If you commingle the data in ways such that the endpoint protection software no longer supports delineating the corporate data, then the user (employee/contractor) has opted into that situation with eyes wide open.

You're assuming the user has been given a clear understanding of the situation, and frankly, I think you're letting the IT department off the hook here. They need to either provide protection that can prevent "commingling" to their satisfaction, to grant a comparable level of trust to users with personal devices that they do in other aspects of conducting business (which was the real point of the example you didn't like), or just to ban personal devices.
I definitely had a mild reaction to that sort of image, long, long before it was discussed anywhere. My first instance, as a teenager, was where I had found a lump of play-doh, and (for whatever reason) jabbed it repeatedly with a pencil. I was then disgusted by what I had created.

My second early incident was seeing the cover of the O'Reilly book "Windows Annoyances", which features an image of a Surinam toad with young embedded on its back. Yes, I wasn't a fan of Windows at the time, but I couldn't imagine what the editors were thinking when they chose that cover image.
My personal prediction is that Sundar will be to Google what Ballmer was to Microsoft: He will make tons of money but will drive Google into a corner where it will be disrespected by, well, hackers (That is, people who are interested in technically open solutions, configurability, fitness of unplanned purposes, etc). But is it refreshing that Microsoft now is going back into an opposite direction.
> Just about everybody in academia knows about it

Just about everybody in academia uses it, too, especially in the case of Scihub. I can't imagine taking the time to actually check whether I have access to some journal when I want to read a paper, let alone jump through all the hoops before you can get a PDF. The first thing we did when my partner's paper was recently published was check to see if it was on Scihub yet. (It was!)

Then I don't get it.

Nothing there is new information to me, so why would anyone pay for it?
The article mentions investigations in conduct of executives from various lawsuits. Drummond is mentioned specifically in the article, and the investigation 'encompasses' that story, but others are fairly well known.

I cited an example in response to another comment here.
Love the editor. Great tool to write stories. Please consider connecting with D&D Beyond for things like items, characters, monsters, etc. They already have so much content available (licensed D&D content and homebrew). And they have implemented a lot of the rules. I'd love to use Adventurekeep for managing storylines in my existing campaign at D&D Beyond.

You need to take 10 minutes out of your day to remove the plastic enclosure. Depending on your setup, you may also need to make some minor modifications to the drive: google.com/search?q=3.3V+wd+easystore

The theory is that this is a form of market segmentation, where enthusiasts/companies are willing to pay more for a bare drive regular consumers.
It's also worth remembering that the problem continues in the workforce; there's fewer women reaching senior roles, fewer taking EM positions, etc. Those steps are entirely under the control of employers - women drop out of tech faster than men even when they get jobs in it.

There's still a community of LaserDisc fans.

> most companies, who are expending great effort on balancing the gender ratio while treating men of color as second-class URMs

At least in the US actually admitting to having gender biased hiring would have to violate a half dozen anti-discrimination labor protection laws, no? Universities are doing affirmative action because there is no legislation mandating they not be sexist in their enrollment whereas corporations don't have that freedom in hiring.
Does this work in Canada? I like coffee.
I don't really care whether or not your feelings constitute "racism," but I don't hold it against you. What I call racist is that you suggest an interview by people of a different race is biased against you.
Something I'm noticing is the emergence of contract breweries who will take a recipe and a label, and brew up a batch of beer. Mostly over-hopped. I think that this kind of custom brewing with economies of scale will strongly affect the "craft" beer market. It might make some people think twice about setting up their own brewing operation.
They said during they keynote that they used the outpost technology to make this happen.

Look at Google's growth and sharehder value under Sundar. While Satya transformed Microsoft and made hard decisions like divert resources away from Windows to Azure, Sundar with the help of his CFO steadied the Google Ship and increased the monetization of their ads on Mobile when everyone thought Google have a hard time on Mobile.
The cost-effective ways to do it might require making custom hardware from which Google couldn't derive any other benefit, and perhaps from which it wouldn't even derive very much insight that was useful to its business.
IANAL, but from what I know if this is happening in the U.S. it isn't legal. Even piece meal pay wouldn't allow for it, and hourly surely doesn't. Salary also doesn't permit this as type of pay docking as you aren't being paid for "hours", but for a position.

Frankly, I'd report it to the wage and labor for whatever state, but my guess is this is outside the US.
It's definitely something I'd love to do. I have some ideas on how to make this work - unfortunately, D&D Beyond does not provide an API, so it won't be trivial. I'll be posting updates as I make progress on this.

I’m remote right now, and the job was taken on initially out of the necessity of being in a different part of the world where the local salary wasn’t something I would commit to. For the most part when abroad, it worked well. I didn’t have too many connections anyway and I was able to get a workspace and do a 15 minute walk there and back in the warmth.

I’m now back to my homeland and I’m crashing at my parents for a few weeks until after Christmas, and the remote side of it is affecting me quite badly. I can’t handle certain aspects of it at all.

For starters, I’m working with an almost violent intensity and rate that I really struggle to turn down. In an office I’d not usually hit a level of flow state like I do at home and it’s almost like I don’t have enough forced distractions. The little coffee break, lunch with team mates, interruptions and meetings. Nothing can get in the way of me writing code, but it’s starting to come at my detriment. I have more optional distractions, sure, but I’m at work so I’m not gonna watch TV for 10 minutes. It breaks my focus too much and to a greater extent; what’s the point?

I’ve lost a great deal of balance in my life. I don’t cook. I overtime a lot more. I have no reason to leave the house (even more so that it’s 0c here vs 32c where I’ve just arrived from). I stay in bed until the last minute.

These are all my fault and my problem to fix, but it seems to incentivise unhealthy ways of living for me. I should have more time and freedom but everything has ended up being more intense and busy. There’s something to be said for that walk though the city or allowing yourself to work at the pace of your office neighbours. I miss that side of it.

I agree that trypophobia is more than just a social contagion.

I personally had physical reactions of disgust and an unusual desire to destroy Lotus seed pods the first time I saw them. I wanted to put them on the cement and smash and grind them with my shoe until they were a fine paste. This was before I had ever heard the word "trypophobia".

The only thing in nature I've found to trigger me is Lotus seed pods. Unlike your example of the doctored images, there is nothing objectively gross about seed pods, they are a natural part of a healthy and harmless plant.

Call it morbid curiosity, but I will sometimes browse /r/trypophobia and I get the same feelings there, but never worse than simply viewing a seed pod.

>Also, are there any geographic restrictions? Can creators outside the US use your service (in countries which are NOT on the US OFAC sanction list)?

Yes, Buy Me A Coffee is available to creators in almost all countries. Here is a breakdown of all accepted countries: https://help.buymeacoffee.com/en/articles/3314992-countries-...

>How do you define "adult" content? Does this include creators working on LGBTQIA activism? Does this include creators who create instructional content while showing non-nipple cleavage? Does this include creators involved in sex-ed/harm reduction campaigns?

None of these are against the terms AFAIK. We unpublish creators who promote explicit pornography or nudity. Broadly speaking, we abide by the content restrictions of the vendors and payment processors we work with. More on that can be found here: https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses

What is the cost reporting situation on azure and gcp?

We've gone for aws because they're supposed to have good customer support, but opaque cost reporting and the inability to inpose spending limits is a concern.

Does anyone know how azure/gcp:

1. Handle cost reporting

2. Handle spending limits (e.g. can I impose a hard spending limit per service/per user/globally?)
When you're immersed in corpspeak constantly it takes a conscious effort to realize when you're in a non-corpspeak context.
I used DuckDuckGo, but a lot of that seems intentionally disturbing rather than coincidentally so. Graphic depictions of skin conditions can be difficult to not empathize with. There is certainly room for someone else's reaction to be an extreme magnification of mine, but "terrifying" seems so subjective already I have a hard time ruling out a big joke on that basis alone.
A cheaper way would be to just go camping.

I agree with parent, planes are a great space to focus for me. I don't think there's anywhere else that I've done so much heavy reading. The lack of connection and the white noise of the engines make it the perfect place to zone in (or zone out!).
