> It’s also curious Apple didn’t bring a trade secrets claim. The architecture of Cyclone, etc., is famously under wraps compared to AMD and Intel’s designs. Apple has gotten amazing performance out of these chips, but nobody is entirely sure how they’re doing it.

I’m genuinely curious what you think apples strategy is here. If their performance is so much better than intel, wouldn’t it reason that they are worried he could slip Intel proprietary knowledge under the guise of “servers” that they then reuse for other things... but if that’s true then why not, ask you ask, bring a trade secrets claim? I’m curious about how you see the legal strategy - is a trade secret claim harder to prove?
It's not wrong, it's just potentially misleading.

It only counts against those other people who visited panopticlick, and that in the last 45 days. That's explicitly stated, but hidden in the click-through for details section.

There are also things it can't detect, such as the existence of the Cookie Auto-Delete extension. So it thinks cookies are enabled and can be used for tracking, but in reality they get deleted whenever I close a tab (and links to new domains get opened in new tabs). Or user-agent randomization, which will make your fingerprint more unique but less useful for tracking.

A380s are 2-4-2 on the upper deck economy, 3-4-3 on the lower deck.

And it looks like the original floor plans for the 350-900 were 2-4-2 but all the floor plans I can find from airlines and booking sites are 3-3-3 (the odd premium economy looks to be 2-4-2 but not regular economy).

Yes, that's the position being taken. The invalid non-solicit argument seems to be the next domino to fall in CA employment law, as it looks like at least 3 cases in 2019 have found them unenforceable. This is the strongest language I've seen in an objection to one though, so it will be interesting to see if it's ruled on.

Cloud Run fully managed: 8 new production-ready features
primarily due to cuts to services from the incumbent government

There have been no such cuts. This is a frequently made claim but it isn't true.

Here's a graph of the budget of the Department of Health:

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/BA1A/production/...

As you can see it only ever goes up. This is in "real terms" i.e. with inflation taken into account.

Usually activists who make this claim and are put under a bit of questioning pressure will admit that by "cut" they mean the budget was increased less fast than they believe necessary, which isn't the same thing.
Wow this is great - thank you
The point isn't that the crime he committed, for which he was sentenced to 20 years, wasn't heinous; the point is that "convicted felon" is not legal short-hand for "historically violent offender". In this particular case, he had previously be convicted of "felony perjury". You can also be convicted, for instance, of "felony vandalism".

Whether or not I agree with the argument, it's not like totally crazy to argue that someone should be sentenced to death for murder or attempted murder, and also not like super crazy to argue that if you're considering the death penalty then a history of violent behavior might be relevant. It is totally bonkers-town to say that because someone committed, say, felony vandalism (having caused $550 of property damage with their graffiti) as opposed to misdemeanor vandalism (having only caused $450 of damage), that should be the deciding factor in whether or not to later put them to death for another crime.

Convicted felon just doesn't mean what people think it does.
MDMs can, but no employer in their right mind ever should actually take the steps to enable sms tracking.

I used to work in IT, and have rolled out MDM programs for startups before.

What needs to happen is a signed contract between the employer and the employee stating exactly what the current capabilities of the MDM are, and under what scenarios the employer can change those capabilities. This needs to be separate from their employment agreement.
> ran it on Apple's dime

I'm sorry, but when I go home at night and choose to spend my remaining hours awake on my own project, that's 100% mine. I bought and paid for it. Instead of spending time with friends or loved ones, playing video games, going out and having fun, I labored.

> wandered the hallways recruiting people for it

This makes it sound like you can't have professional relationships or friends at work. Or that you wouldn't want to work with those people after joining another company.
There's a lot of grey area between "startup" and "side project". I do know quite a few people who operate niche cloud services that pull in a few thousand dollars a month. Certainly not enough to build a company around, but the $ per hour works out pretty well. I could see how someone might want to quit their job to work on turning their side project into a startup.

That said, nobody I know over 30 who works in tech does their "side projects" in tech anymore. We've all moved on to kids or hobbies that allow us to escape the tech world like music or painting.

This is a standard employment contract term. I don't agree with it, but in most of the US, if you signed a non-solicit, you cannot legally make a job offer to an ex-colleague. Even in CA, the state that most heavily policies anti-competitive behavior like this, they have not been entirely voided (although it looks like the law is headed that direction).
No, it does not. Keybase does it pretty well. Signal is pretty close. Even the WhatsApp approach (require phone to be online, which is how it differs from Signal) is better than what Telegram has today (not even possible).
> I think it's interesting that this definition of mandate came in 77 immediately ahead of Volker's appointment and he essentially ignored it

The Fed chair doesn't unilaterally set policy, and the Fed Board of Governors in Volker’s term didn't ignore the other parts of the mandate, it just saw inflation as the biggest risk, for reasons which are pretty easy to understand in the historical context, even if they were wrong in hindsight.

> Even today, there is not an employment target, there is only an inflation target and its precisely because no one really knows or agrees on what the employment target should be

That's not entirely true, it's more that it's because they have a very firm idea of what the employment target should be, but it's not a fixed employment level but the (dynamically shifting, in terms of employment measures) point at which further monetary stimulus has little further employment impact but great inflationary impact.

> I think when greenspan acted to raise rates, like Volker, he was predominantly concerned about inflation rather than jobs

Of course; the Board of Governors raises rates when inflation is the greatest concern, it lowers them when jobs are the greatest concern. They’ll admit that quite openly, you haven't made some stunning discovery. The understanding (somewhat simplified) is that there is a range (which moves dynamically based on other factors in the economy) in which easier money produces more employment with comparatively little inflationary effect, and a range (in interest rate terms, a lower level than the preceding range) in which it produces inflation with little jobs effect, as “full employment” has been reached (with the reverse effects in each range for tighter money). The Fed, again somewhat simplified, largely acts on interest rates based on which range it feels the current situation is in, aiming for the moderate inflation/“full employment” boundary.
'Logic' as a topic generally centers around processes of formal reasoning whereas critical thinking usually also discusses human cognitive biases which is not something usually covered in discussions of formal reasoning. This is important because nobody engages is formal logic all (or even most) of the time. That would be very inefficient and probably impossible. Developing the habit (which is what discussions of critical thinking often center around) of thinking critically, rather than simply understanding the process of formal reasoning is essential.
Title and subtitle speak of transformation and change, but the abstract only mentions "employee engagement":

>It’s a common misconception, both in businesses and in management articles and books, that a sense of purpose is what matters most when it comes to engaging employees. Many leaders concerned with attracting and retaining top talent believe that nothing motivates people as much as the larger good they might be doing or the chance to change the world. Accordingly, they extol the higher virtues of their companies’ missions and the meaning of the work they offer.

>But our work with more than 300 companies over the past 20 years, particularly our research using organizational network analysis (ONA) and our interviews with executives, reveals that purpose is only one contributing factor; the level and quality of interpersonal collaboration actually has the greatest impact on employee engagement.

I suppose it could, but I've never heard of a union that does. Generally the union leadership has the power to decide on their own what the union's goals are, and the democratic structure is only there to elect leadership and approve things like strikes and new contracts. (To some degree that has to be true - collective bargaining doesn't work if the union representatives don't have the power to make commitments on the union's behalf.)

I am not entirely convinced this is true.

From who I know, programmers can and do work well to average retirement age. Albeit, those skills are specialized in database architecture and older languages like Fortran.

Software engineers are one of the professions that make it possible to retire early, due to a higher than average household income. The majority of people today have to work until their bodies stop or their pensions kick in.

I'd say that you should try pairing more. First to just discuss about validation on getting the problem right, then agreeing at least with someone else about the approach for the solution so you dissolve potential tensions about your new code. The goal of that is the opposite of surprising designs: gradual expected innovation.

If that works well and you and your team like each other, then you can go on. If that bare minimum is not working then find a new team a and start from day zero with this approach.

This has been my experience both in the case of a bank (where technology is an operating overhead) but, surprisingly, also in a tech startup at the stage where it was maturing beyond 50 employees. Even more surprisingly, we are speaking of a tech startup where the CEO, CTO and most senior product manager are all engineers. But they got into those positions when the company was just a handful of people and seem to have forgotten about their roots. What is going on now is that there is little to no real carreer mobility for newly hired engineers, and the company now has more non-technical than technical people, who have built up a caste system where they keep engineers out of the decisions that matter.

I hear what you mean about the empty planes. The best flying in my memory was in the 1970s. Everything was much more casual, less populated, and slower-paced. I remember eating freshly-fried eggs for breakfast on a 747, with metal silverware, in coach.

After 9/11 I remember a lot of fear. I got searched a lot. Everyone was tense. All connection points became more isolated (e.g., you can no longer walk your family to the gate). Most non-white men I know immediately started having a worse time flying after 9/11.

Now, there was also a smoking “section” in the back of the plane, and safety standards were nowhere near as robust as today, and everything was _way_ more expensive (relative to today).

Sleeping was easier since the seats were wider. If the post-deregulation business model requires packing people in like little cattle, some sort of veal-cubicle isolation wings seem reasonable.

> To me, the assumption should be something like the amount of money as a percentage of my total wealth that I'm willing to pay is equal to the utility of the good.

I think you raise a good objection, but this metric overlooks the concept of leisure as consumption.

Say Alice doesn't like working and chooses to only work 10 hours a week. Whereas Bob really likes material goods and doesn't mind working a lot, so he works 80 hours a week. Bob will have eight times as much money as Alice, and therefore much more money to spend on things like coffee.

But this disparity really does reflect different utility levels for coffee (and other consumer goods). Alice does have less money to buy coffee but that's a downstream manifestation of the result that she genuinely prefers leisure over coffee.

To really get into it you have to start figuring out which wealth disparities are due to genuine differences in preferences (like higher savings rates, longer hours worked, studying harder in school, compensation for stressful or unpleasant jobs, more risk-taking, etc.), and which are due to exogenous factors (like higher intelligence, more opportunities, getting lucky in some endeavor, etc.)
The cap is irrelevant. Instead of printing more the value per unit goes up in the end it does the same it adjust for growth just fine.
It's just not practical for a fiat currency to change it's value depending on the economy situation. If for example the USD would have a fix cap and its value would swing with the economy, people would speculate with it. At peaks everyone would want to buy and at the lows everyone would pay salaries and debs etc. the growth isn't the problem the swings and uncertainty about the value makes it unusable for a currency. Bitcoin doesn't have this problem is kinda like gold no one really want to pay with it (beside the bitcoin maxis).

Yabai does function without disabling SIP [1], just that certain features do not work without doing so. Whether or not those functions are critical to your workflow you'd have to figure that out for yourself. They are functions that you couldn't get functioning without SIP being disabled, as far as I know.

Amethyst doesn't require disabling sip because it doesn't support the same features that yabai does. It does support different rules for layouts than yabai, which only supports floating and bsp rules.

If you didn't like Amethyst's handling of windows, you can try adding different layout rules; there are several that you can cycle through in the settings.

Tangentially related, Karbiner Elements [2] will let you modify your keyboard so you can say, invoke hyper by pressing down the caps lock keys so it would be easier to map keys to global functions like launching applications or moving windows around. I use it extensively for throwing windows to different spaces in yabai, or switching spaces. Yabai can swap spaces without any animation. You can reduce animation of changing spaces in macos from a swiping animation to a fade animation in accessibility settings, if that is sufficient for your needs. Karabiner can also bind keys to control the mouse cursor.

An app (that may be pretty much dead) that I found somewhat interesting is Switchem [3]. Dead as in the website for its independent release no longer exists, but the functionality for it might be enough for you anyway. It allows you to create workspaces that you can invoke with keyboard shortcuts that lay out the applications on the screen the same way each time. So rather than using spaces for managing windows, you switch from a "coding" workspace which has a terminal window and a web browser and an IDE to a "research" workspace which might open up a notes application and a web browser.

Moom [4] also allows you to define custom layouts and save them. It can be controlled by the keyboard entirely.

Forms Integration and Credit Union Mergers: What You Need to Know
I tend to agree with you, but I don't have the data to back it up. Do you have any success stories to share of modern products that operate at scale on simple, dedicated hardware configurations?

It seems to me, like most things in software these days, we sacrifice performance for convenience at every turn; and in the cloud case specifically we also pick up a good portion of complexity which rarely pays dividends.

I'd wager that for most non-global scale products you can spend a few thousand dollars at the local PC shop and assemble some hardware that will more than support your needs. Although, I'd still advocate backing up necessary data in the cloud for resiliency.

If your software is super resource intensive then you could have people install and run it locally gasp.
