I do not agree with the name calling but I do agree with your feeling the majority of people who want to return to the office are the same who cause a lot of disruptions.

Where my wife works there are two types of people who want to return to the office; the old school "we only trust you if we can see your butt in a seat" and those who need the social aspect of the office.

The first group I couldn't care less about. I hate the attitude that I am good enough to be employed but clearly not mature enough to be able to work without being monitored.

The second group are more interesting. Personally I mostly dislike the social aspect of the office. Sure it is fine during lunch but I hate the interruptions at my desk either directly (i.e. someone walking over to ask a question when an IM would be far better) or indirectly such as the conversations of others.

My hope moving forward is that working from home won't be seen as something "special" the few are "rewarded" with for a day or two a month but that it is a choice for each person without prejudice.

For those that want/need an office fine let them go in. But for those of us who function better working from home we can do that.

It doesn't have to be a binary option for companies moving forward of "our company is only work from home" but instead a mixture.
This is a problem with how poorly extension permissions are handled by the browsers. There needs to be a way to gracefully ask a user for permanent (and configurable) extended permissions without it being an earth shattering event.

My experience: I have a moderately popular extension that initially only supported a couple sites so I set the permissions accordingly. I would extend permissions every time I added support for another site. However, with each permission increase my extension gets completely disabled for every user with a very scary warning that suggests something nefarious is happening. With each permission update I would lose HALF of my users. My alternatives are activeTab (awful user experience) or just being greedy with my permissions. I went with the latter.

TLDR: Citizen opinions don't have an effect on policy.

I agree about education though. It's a tricky problem. Clearly people aren't informed enough to make coherent decisions on many policy issues but they have to trust that the slick looking lawyer they are voting for actually does understand and has their best interests at heart?

> If you own website, you have all rights to do any censorship you want.

The case of the baker refusing to decorate cake for the gay couple comes to mind. He's in court for the third time. Same people who talk about "private company can do whatever they like" attack the baker.

Soon this will evolve into letting private companies being able to censor minority opinions. Don't forget, just few decades ago, LGBT rights opinions weren't mainstream and would therefore have been banned from private companies.

cruel sometimes maybe, but dolphins are also very well known for saving humans from drowning. I don't think its fair to project human characteristics onto animals, but at least some of what dolphins do is altruistic.

The drowning and shark savior stories are countless, and date back to before recorded history in some cultures. Maybe they aren't so bad?

In the good old times of Soviet power, there were other oppression mechanisms besides lethal force. In fact lethal force was only rarely used, especially after Stalin. A couple of examples:

* Send dissenters to perform menial jobs in some remote small city with little impact on the national scale. Technically, the Gulag itself was an application of this strategy, with a particularly harsh destination and a particularly dangerous occupation.

* House arrest. Keep dissenters in their homes, and carefully control whom they get into contact.

The end effect is the same: drastically limit the platform available to dissenters, without outright murdering them.
Disagree that what you wrote constitutes "career suicide".

- Being targeted for layoffs says more about the company you work for and less about your own career.

- Passed over for promotions is again saying a lot about the company, and many folks who work in offices still have to change jobs to get career advancement.

I, for one, believe that cultivating remote work competencies that hedge against either of those things is a valuable career skill. It means you can't schmooze your way in person through career growth, you have to do it by demonstrating real value to companies that will value you fairly.

Your salary isn't based (at least directly) on your value to the company. It's based on how little they can get away to pay you for the service they want you to provide.

If you move somewhere with a lower cost of living, then chances are you're willing to accept a lower salary. If you truly provide some unique value you may have enough negotiating power to keep your salary, otherwise they'd look for a replacement.
People like me stopped going to restaurants well before governors were even seriously talking about lockdowns, and won't be going back for many months, if not many years.

That said, at least in the US, there are quite a lot of people that will go back as soon as lockdowns end. And in-person service is a big deal, because people dining in drink a lot of booze, which is a big moneymaker. If I ran a restaurant, I'd be praying for this moment.

I think the big difference in 6 is that you aren't penalized for building wide vs tall, in fact you're encouraged to do so. You need as many useful district bonuses as you can get, which are often improved via the Pantheon. Since any City can only have one of a specific district, you want to build many cities.

Civ 5 encouraged building Tall. So it was far less likely to end the game with 15 cities unless you played one of the few leaders that needed Wide expansion.

In 6, there is really never a logical stopping point for building a new city. You either stop because you don't have space, you're busy with war, or it is so late in the game and you're just trying to end it. Otherwise, it's worth settling in a bad spot just to control more of the map or get a district bonus.

But, yes, I don't think this is new to the series overall.
> uploading a photo from an iPhone isn’t exactly an edge case

From what I've heard in articles and other sources, uploading directly from the iPhone works fine. The issue is only when students try to upload an HEIF file from a computer, instead of directly from an iPhone, which requires:

1. The student has an iPhone, which they use to take a picture of their work.

2. The student chooses not to upload directly from their iPhone, and instead wants to use their computer (presumably they're already logged in there).

3. The student's computer is a Mac, and they choose to use AirDrop (or another method that doesn't do conversion) to transfer the file instead of email (or another method that does convert to JPG).

4. The student is using Chrome/Firefox or another browser that doesn't do automatic conversion to JPG.

I would argue that this qualifies as an edge case. Presumably, CollegeBoard did their due diligence testing the basic single-device flows, but didn't cover multi-device flows, or just missed possibilities like AirDrop instead of email for transferring images.

I agree that they should have done a better job informing students; there probably should be more info on the upload page itself.

Man, chill out. Don't let the burnout or a few bad days cloud your judgement. A lot of new tooling is shit. It was always like this. It's like someone judging FE dev by all the jQuery monstrosities in 2010 or by Angular 1.x in 2013.

Choose good tools, but most importantly, good projects. They're out there.
I used to have an older extension that did this but it broke a few years ago. I have moved to a workflow where I open a new Firefox window for each of the branches in the tree. I combine this with multiple spaces in MacOS to group by task. This works very well for me because I can then have the browser grouped with iterm sessions and emails and other suporting documentation.

The major drawback is that Firefox does not re-open windows in their previous space. They all open on a random space the next time Firefox launches.

This makes Firefox updates and system reboots (frequent of late on MacOS) a pain. I have gotten good at moving the windows back to their correct spaces but if Mozilla fixed this so the windows restored to their previous spaces I would be delighted.

e: Looks like Mozilla fixed this in FF 75: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440895 I generally run ESR releases for work but I might risk an upgrade to a later version to get this fixed.

Embedded work has its good points, but it has its downsides. I wouldn’t advise anyone to change because they expected the tooling or libraries to be better designed, or if they imagined that working with electronics means dealing with less bugs or that they might be working with more skilled people!

I have relevant background to say this, although my embedded work is very rusty. I have an EE degree and a small amount of experience with electronics. I’ve been doing web front end for over a decade which was mostly 100% JavaScript SPA dev work (recently quit because browsers are hell: I did like the money and some of the challenges!).

One that demonstrates that serotonin/dopamine is actually the cause of depression and that taking drugs affects those neurotransmitters and relieves depression. If we're going to say to someone that you are depressed because of a chemical imbalance, you must first prove that is actually the cause. Then you must prove that the medicine affects that neurotransmitter and relieves the disease. This hand wavy "chemical imbalance" idea is barely a hypothesis. Prove it. Measure serotonin in a live brain and demonstrate the causation with depression. Demonstrate that the level is truly imbalanced compared to a non depressed person. Show that changing the level relieves depression.

Instead, we don't even know how depression drugs work and last I checked, measuring neurotransmitter levels in a live brain was impossible. That would be ok as science doesn't know everything, but then we need to stop with the idiotic "chemical imbalance" lie.
Facebook should be destroyed. No company should have that much information about that many people's private lives.
1. I'm not sure what you mean but remember that FPGAs don't run programs as per se (HDL gets compiled to logic, not instructions). The bitstream can be modified, it just gets loaded from some flash. I'm not sure where it's done, but it's possible.

2. The obstacles are billions and billions of R&D (and you'd need similar amounts to get a fab pick up the phone too). Reverse engineering the bitstream is also difficult because of this - Symbiflow (i.e. Trellis etc.) have got the bulk of the bitstream done (apart from specialized blocks like those for DSP), but you need to have good algorithms to decide what to do with that bitstream e.g. a fully open source flow requires intricate timing analysis.

I've worked at some companies with heavy B2B sales. It is about metrics. Virtually everything you can imagine being tracked is tracked. In a well run sales organization, this is all automatic. They don't need to enter anything and the phone dialer is fully integrated. They're tracking new calls dialed, calls answered, average time on the calls, demos scheduled, demos successful, trials scheduled, trials installed, trials converted to sales... it goes on and on.

> Contingent benefits disincentivize people from participating in the economy. People paid to do nothing... do nothing.

That's, at best, highly debatable. I would like data showing that (or the opposite)

> Under any economic regime there will be a poorest 20% at any given time.

That's not what "20% of the population living under the poverty line" means. It means that 20% of people don't earn enough to live decently, which is highly dependent on the economic regime
I feel exactly the same way. No one should blindly trust installing anything that runs on every page they visit.
I believe this has been debunked by previous UBI studies, Give Directly, etc..

The vast majority of poor people do just fine with money when given to them. The 1-2% who are addicted to substances or mentally ill will always need additional services, but why throw out the huge efficiency gains in just direct cash transfers to all because of the worry that 1-2% might waste it? The efficiency gains of a UBI vs. most means-tested programs is likely more on the order of 20-50%.

A similar argument is “would we give a UBI to billionaires too?! What a waste!” Yes, what a waste of 0.0000003% of the UBI!

Have you got any sources on these claims about France, Italy and Spain? Never heard of this.
> as people are defenseless and suspend all skepticism in front of suffering children: nobody has the heart to question the authenticity or source of the reporting.

But that's not actually true. It's nearly impossible to express concern for children in any context on the internet without being mocked and dismissed for having invoked a "won't someone think of the children" ad hominem.

It's strange how deeply that particular meme has dug into the psyche of internet culture, and has become almost an unwritten rule.

Would that image or media related incentive exist without the huge amount of tech work in the Bay Area? My point is that the pull of the Bay Area is cyclical - supply of tech workers fuels the SV image which fuels more supply of tech workers. I think it all started with tech workers though.

CloudFlare, the biggest CDN, despite their words and claims routinely censors sites meanwhile defending hosting terrorist site's free speech.

> the company serves at least seven groups on the U.S. State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations, including al-Shabab, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), al-Quds Brigades, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, and Hamas.

> CEP has sent letters to Cloudflare since February 13, 2017, warning about clients on the service, including Hamas, the Taliban, the PFLP, and the Nordic Resistance Movement. The latest letter, from February 15, 2019, warns of what CEP identified as three pro-ISIS propaganda websites.

I never asked for figures, but he kept doing it despite being in a reasonably well paid job as social media manager for a restaurant chain.

Which brings to mind another of his tricks: He set up a lunch voucher trading scheme for all of the other restaurants in the little downtown area where he was based. He got to eat anywhere he liked every lunch time.

One of his employment perks was getting a free lunch from his restaurant every day. He soon got bored of it, so he designed and printed some home made lunch vouchers with his name on, and arranged for the front of house staff to accept them in lieu of payment. The understanding was that there would be no more than one per day for the days he didn't eat there. Then he went to all of the other restaurants and told their front of house staff that they could swap their own free lunches for his by letting him eat there in exchange for his vouchers. They could then eat at his restaurant for free on one of the next few days.

That was 10 years ago and I've never since met anyone with a better hustle than that guy.

If they did that then they'd have to give everyone at the company a pay cut. They don't want to do that. They'd rather use these pay cuts to bully individual employees. If they went after everyone at once then they'd have a problem.
I admit the purpose does not have to be practical. But the principle of Data Minimization still applies. If she can personally enjoy the pictures without posting them to Facebook, then that purpose does not cover posting them to Facebook. It probably would cover cloud back-ups that don't share with other people.
