Amazon's mistake was not that they sought government incentives--it was that they did so in an ostentatious, tone-deaf way and turned it into some sort of strange game show.

Personally, I would never, ever mention anything whatsoever about my health in a professional setting (or a personal one, but that is a different topic). It’s absolutely none of their business, and invites silent discrimination, or worry about future health issues. In the best case it frames you as someone who is sometimes sidelined, not hearty. Why do that to your sales image?

My grandfather had a saying: never talk about your health unless it’s good.

I have some relatively minor and common chronic health issues (fortunately well-managed). The day my clients or upstreams hear about any of them will be the day they are invited to my funeral—not before.
That's what I meant by relative terms. Relative to cost of living, American tech workers get paid much more than any tech workers anywhere else in the world. American tech workers get paid close to American doctors and get to enjoy doctor-level prosperity. Canadian doctors, in relative terms, get paid about as much as American doctors and get to enjoy similar levels of prosperity as them. Canadian tech workers, however, don't get paid as much as Canadian doctors, but as much as Canadian engineers, so they get to enjoy a lower level of prosperity. Canadian engineers get paid, in relative terms, close to American engineers.

Anywhere in the world, with the exception of the US, this is the case. US the outlier. Whether it proves the be the outlier that reverts to mean or one that the mean reverts to remains to be seen. I personally think it would be the former. But I don't have strong opinions on it one way or another.

Since it's in my head, here's a summary of the public discourse of the current economic situation:

Topic in question: the economy is unequally distributed to the point where the majority of the middle class are not getting the value gains in the economy

### 2 themes:

1) get more money into working class people's hands (via pay, social benefits, or systematic transfer of cash)

2) continue to improve cost/quality ratio of goods and services

#### In getting more money into working class people hands, there are many proposals:

a. UBI

b. Social safety net improvements, wealth tax, health care

c. Just get the bosses to pay their workers more (minimum wage)

d. Unsurprisingly, no one is saying we need to make our employees be more valued in the market by working harder or smarter, but this is an option

#### In continuing to improve cost/quality of goods and services, we've done the following:

a. Globalism

b. Entrepreneurship

c. Gig economy

d. AI / Robots

e. There's not much left that we can do here

Comes as no surprise that government intervention into the system via UBI or wealth tax is a popular topic.
I don't see a super strong connection between Amazon's business power and how they present themselves. You can make boatloads of money and also still come off as somewhat presentable and not some uncaring monster.

There are plenty of companies that operate like that. Amazon just chooses not to. As the article pointed out, it's how Bezos rolls, for better or for worse.
There would have been a long period of time when those games would have been worthless.

Yes. I don't see how that is relevant though.

It doesn't matter how bad the cheating gets. Sacrificing our computing freedom and privacy is simply not okay. These principles are far more important than having an online gaming experience that's free of cheaters. It is better to crack and remove the game's invasive modules than to let it run freely on our machines.

The truth is online multiplayer gaming is fundamentally broken. We're playing with strangers we don't know much less trust. We must play only with people we know personally and trust.

That's about as useful as saying everything is 'just chemistry'. It's true but not helpful. And the same way that your brain and a science fair volcano are both just chemistry, demonstrating a simple reaction isn't impressive.

As a sysadmin myself the number of non-trivial modes in which certbot can fail never ceases to amaze me. Running Apache? Watch your certbot renew fail to bind to port 80 because your server is running. Now your renewal cron task needs to take into account stopping and restarting the server which the standard cron task does not include. What made the web great was that it didn't keep out the DIY developer. Now it does exactly that .... via universal compulsory HTTPS on trivial, static sites.
Besides avoiding having to manage its own authentication system, one important future direction is federation. So ensuring you can associate accounts as being ‘the same person’ on multiple servers is a significant boon for the future.

As a community, many of our conversations and notes are spread across five or six servers in different people’s control. We’d like a better experience for that long term.

Email login is pretty good now though if you don’t want to deal with Google or GitHub, and now that LDAP and SAML is available for free, intranet is pretty doable with standard conventions known to most IT departments.

From a business perspective. There are an increasingly large number of sites/platforms targeting remote workers specifically in addition to the usual sites for publishing jobs.

I would say there's a spectrum. My guess is that whatever schema you could come up with could have an extra layer of metadata applied to describe the data to some benefit, but at some point you have to make a decision about how something is best represented.

To keep with the example of asking questions, if a sruvey is asked and each question is represented by field in a table for that survey, but they also want to track whether any particular question is answered, there are multiple ways to track this information. It can be done through a separate table (or multiple), it can be done with an extra boolean field per original question field, or it could be done by making each question field nullable, and ensuring that no question answered will ever be left null.

Which of those cases breaks the conceptual integrity of the domain modeling? I would argue that as long as they are applied consistently and accurately, none of them break it.
A similar story played out here in Seattle. Amazon transformed SLU into a business hub, bringing tens of thousands of high paying jobs to a previously underdeveloped neighborhood.
I think you've got it backwards. Amazon (as Walmart before them) has done more to help poor people than any other firm or program around. Squeezing suppliers and returning the benefit to consumers in lower prices, providing a wide offering of goods previously unavailable are real benefits which improve peoples lives.

PODS also had a huge problem with not being able to deliver containers ontime / when promised. They chalked it up to being really busy but seemed to not recover for extended periods of times and it seemed they just kept taking on new pods when they couldn't deliver what they had... and yeah the pricing was pretty high anyway.
I am probably misunderstanding something here, but what's the point of buying a company without owning the whole thing? What are they actually "buying" here? I assume Temkin/CAH owns some significant portion of Clickhole so it's not 100% employee owned? Else why would they do it?
I did enjoy the building. Rather a lot of interesting stuff was thought up there and it was humbling.

I gave it a cursory look from the perspective of someone on the lookout for remote opportunities to replace my non-remote grind. At a glance, I like what I see, but there are a couple of things that stuck out to me:

- The search seems pretty limited. I am on mobile, and accidentally entered “python “ instead of “python” (trailing space), and got 0 results.

- it would be great to be able to do more than single key phrase search. E.g. I might be interested in Full-time JavaScript jobs in Canada. I didn’t see a way to search for that, aside from sifting through all results for “JavaScript” by hand.

- In addition to a more expressive search, I’d love to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed for a given query

Overall, it looks like a great start! These are just my $0.02 on mobile

So in other words you can't really say anything substantial about the merits of reusing bottles?

If that's the case why not take the time to look into the regions in the developed world that have implemented these systems and see how they work?

Someone else in the thread mentioned that the province of Ontario (which IIRC is the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world) has switched over to a system homogeneous bottles that are washed and reused.

If a region as vast as Ontario with a population of approximately 14 million can do this, why isn't it feasible else where?

I think this answer misses the point, which is that this information is only a weak predictor of the problems you describe, thus must be discounted accordingly.
While the problem isn't novel, that's probably not what happened with what you're describing, for a number of reasons.

Most local datums are anchored to the local geology. So in the US, if you're using nad27 or nad83, the reference system is "moving" along with the continent (nad83 = North American Datum 1983), based on some weighted benchmark vectors and a lot of math. It's one reason why different datums with defined epochs exist. Some are static, but some are actually dynamic with time (eg ITRF).

But most people don't grok any of that and just stick with defaults, or guess-and-check during map setup and go with whatever looks "close enough".

In your case, chances are the map provider switched datums with the update, from nad27 to nad83, and your software wasn't told about the change. Or it was, but your road restriction data was drawn in the old projection, and not converted / transformed to the new one.

Or, you could have had data that initially was mislabeled, recorded with GPS (wgs84) and entered using one of the many datums that's similar, but not the same. Or maybe collected using one of the many state plane coordinate systems (which people tend to like because it's more or less Cartesian- east,north) which are themselves built in top of one of the datums. You can pick the right coordinate zone, but wrong underlying datum.

If any data provider or aggregator or if your company GIS guru ever selected the wrong projection (choices often are dozens of coded options that look nearly identical), or left it blank (undefined) because they weren't sure...

A instant "shift" would happen as soon as you "corrected" the error, (or upgraded software, or any other number of situations).

This is where a good GIS guru earns their keep, because conversions between projections and datums are just math, and data can often be corrected in seconds by running it through a manual "inverse" conversion, assuming one can recognize what happened.

Back to Australia: if people used GPS coordinates (wgs84) and didn't convert to a Australian centric datum (which is the default option for most collectors), the data would "stay still" while the continent moves. Which is one of many reasons why selecting an appropriate datum/ projection is so important.

For the US: While there is some intra-datum movement between nad27 and nad83, most of the differences are do to improvements in the quality and accuracy of surveys over half a century. So the differences between the two datums tend to grow as you get further from the beginning points of the surveys.

Which means some areas, like a lot of the East coast, have minimal differences, and areas out West have larger deltas, but it varies.

A couple of meters would be better explained by a bad datum transformation than by drift, which is likely an order of magnitude smaller at even the worst locations for the US.
Wait... how do you explain the appearance of the building with no expenses shown except "from cash"?
Now is the time to leave. 18 years in the US with a kid born here. I missed the boat in getting my priority date around the time when my friends were getting theirs (my company was laying off people in other departments and my application got audited). Didn't think it was a big deal at that time. Now, my friends are getting their citizenships and I'm still stuck on a visa. I'm at the whim of the Consul officer and the CBP officer every time I renew my visa or come back into the country. Heavily vested here assuming I'll get a green card but planning to apply for Canadian PR just in case. There's an easy way to game the system if one is in the right situation and is willing to risk it. Leave the country and work for the same company for a year as a manager. Come back on a L1 visa and boom you can apply in the EB-1 category and get your green card in a couple of years. I've quite a few friends who easily got their green cards working for TCS, Infosys, etc. Meanwhile, with a Masters degree and 16 years of experience, I'm at the mercy of immigration officers.

For number 4, he isn't proposing a solution, just identifying a potential problem, which is very significant nonetheless.

Also, a number of graduates from elite universities can talk about structural inequalities, given that many have lived them. Ivy's very often offer need-based opportunities to their students. Not saying the author lived anything like that, but this is a baseless criticism. And the continued point about clerking for a federal judge doesn't seem related at all the criticism of consulting management.

Anyways, there is a lot of points here, and they seem overly aggressive, and I don't want to the negative energy by addressing each one (and it would be redundant to do so at this point).

Some people just accept absurd drudgery interacting with computers; it never even occurs to them to seek an easier way. But if you can teach the students to be "lazy" when it comes to that kind of repetitive drudgery, they'll be set for life.

Systemd aside, I really dislike the whole "Henry Ford said users would want a faster horse"

Can we please stop trotting this platitude out every time a controversial new change is made?

This narrative is just an excuse for pigheadedness by developers.

It can be boiled down to "ignore user complaints, plow ahead with change anyway".

Many of the biggest failures were made by people who thought they were the next Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs himself nearly bankrupted Apple by insisting on giving users a computer without a fan, even though nobody asked for that or wanted it.[1]

I am convinced that the majority of people who say they are ignoring customers desires are actually wrong, and that we just have a survival bias.

Yes. It's particularly reasonable to assume that readers are minimally aware of what they're reading on a "reviving a dead project" blog post IMO - why would you assume readers have no idea what's being revived? Why would they even be there?

More generally, it's a project-specific news section, it doesn't need to introduce itself in literally every post - check the site instead.
Short answer: the Gecko codebase wasn't very good back then and it certainly wasn't designed to be embedded elsewhere.

Think about it—Nokia, Google, Blackberry, Samsung could have picked Gecko back in the day but they all chose WebKit instead. That should tell you something.

Google forked WebKit to make Blink in 2013 and since then, Opera, Vivaldi and now Microsoft are using Blink. Not even the creator of Firefox and former head of Mozilla Brendan Eich, ended up using Firefox--Brave also is using Chromium/Blink.
