Did you know that there are at least four different file locations that resolvers can be set in for systemd-resolved?

The defaults being in a commented-out section in one of these four locations (and in a file whose name does not match the linux standard of resolv.conf) is, frankly, not a big help in identifying what's really being used.

I used to think this was a bad thing, but these days I'm not so sure. Assuming you can get the same (or similar) talent in India instead of the US, doesn't it make sense to do your development in a place where your money goes farther?

The capitalist in me sees this as a win: more value for shareholders, and a big life improvement for Indians.

Can someone explain to me why it's a bad thing? I understand it might be bad for current and future US-based Uber employees, but aside from that, what's the downside? The way I see it, this helps more people overall (and I don't really care about which national flag you identify with).

Google can tie the DNS requests you make to your IP address and then tie that to you Google accounts. Google now knows every website you go to and can either monetize the data or sell access to it. It also knows your name.

For fun uses of this data, I recently talked to a company that ties medical conditions derived from your browsing behavior to your online profile and then provides a platform for insurances companies to target you based on it.
However those are exactly the sort of people that a well run criminal organization would keep at a distance. The opportunities one gets from dodgy people are dodgy opportunities.

The recruiting of violent, power seeking, poor impulse control people was one of the major factors in the decline of the five families. When better opportunities existed for 2nd and 3rd generation Italian-Americans, many took those better non-criminal opportunities. An organized crime life is a pretty hard life. This dramatically hurt the number of good candidates that organized crime could recruit from. The candidates they did recruit often placed their individual desires over the needs of the organization. This destroyed the internal trust which was a major enabler of their success.

Great, now how much does the median retiree have saved?

Also, the vast majority of people shouldn't give two licks about keeping the market high today because the vast majority of people are more than a decade out from retirement.

Yes, the salaries I've seen bandied about for SV developers are absurd.

That a new grad in SV can out-earn a seasoned dev located elsewhere was never sustainable.

People will point out that the rent is absurdly high too, and maybe it is, but I'd also wager that these employees are renting from colleagues higher up who approve these salaries because they know they'll get a large cut.
My understanding (IANAL) is that being aware of a high profile case from media reports or documentaries or such things is not by itself disqualifying. It comes down to whether the juror can maintain an open mind and base their vote fairly on the evidence in the trial. If this was not the case then it would be difficult for any high profile national figure to secure a jury trial in any jurisdiction.
Paying $80k a year in India would get you top level talent.

They’d pay less than that.

Uber is preparing for a death spiral as their financial backing runs out and they need to shrink to the profitable markets.
Why not just move the entire company to India, and pay everyone less?

Read your comment again.

You are faulting someone for defending thier own argument. You suggest that people who do not cow and apologize to the mob deserve the anger and retribution the mob has to offer.

People have a right to think differently and express themselves without threats, bullying, or shaming.

The mob does not deserve apologies. The comment above is spot on - we've lost all sense of proportionality.

It is an indication of the modern online mob sickness that they always demand others beg for forgiveness.

What emotional void are mob participants trying to fill with the apologies of others?

Google is enriched when it can associate consumer IPs with DNS queries. Collecting that sort of information and compiling it into a advertising profile is part of Google's business. Giving state actors a view of that information part of Google's history.

Some people are just philosophically opposed to Google's information gathering mission. From such people's perspective, anything that directly helps Google learn something (or even make a little money) is bad.

Yes. Food insecurity is an issue.

About 1 in 9 people -- in the wealthiest nation that ever existed on earth, which as of 2016 had 540 billionaires living in it with with a combined net worth of about 2.3 trillion (via Forbes from a quick google) -- face food insecurity.

Relatedly, access to healthy food (that wont give you diabetes if you eat it all the time, to exaggerate a touch) is also an issue.

This is what anthropologists call an "oral culture". You have to be told it verbally, because those involved are strongly deterred from writing it down. For the deeper secrets you probably have to be part of the right family.

In the rougher neighborhoods you'll find plenty of people who know how the system works, if only so they know what and who to avoid getting caught up in it.

(The interesting thing about the internet is how we've developed an "oral" culture that actually does get written down, because we do so much socializing through text! IRC channels and the like.)

dissertation after dissertation have been written on the subject. To me, it boils down to as long as the world sees value in the US dollar, or there isn't an alternative, the Fed can print as much as they want.

It certainly helps that US debt is denominated in its own currency so debt is as much of a burden on the US as the Fed wants it to be.
Because all of the alternatives are simply less reliable, less performant, less available and offer no benefits for development/testing. That is the only factor that matters here.

I agree, I still think it is relevant to treat actual privacy violations differently from engineering choices that might make privacy violations easier in the future.

My opinion is that DDG should have never made this choice in the first place, but as far as I am concerned this is at the level of an implementation detail that can be improved, not as if DDG was intentionally using user data in some non-private way.
I don't think it is "way less". 80K USD converts to 5,979K INR which is about the ballpark estimate some of the senior engineers I know make in India (one of them is working for the Western European company btw).

One of the reasons to move to India would be the availability of talent even if it is at comparable cost. Companies like to scale and lack of talent is a risk they want to mitigate.
> they are borrowing it

People have been saying that deficit spending will catch up to us since I was a kid, 30+ years ago. Every time deficit spending starts "catching up to us", the government responds with more deficit spending. It seems unsustainable to me, but there are people like Krugman who assure us that this can go on forever.
> The temporary COVID unemployment bill was so rushed that they didn’t index the unemployment to the person’s earnings.

No, it was a deliberate choice to make total benefits bump up to approximately full earnings at a low-but-not-quite-bottom-barrel working income with common state formulas while providing (proportionate to income) less benefit to high income workers (presumed to, when working, have greater surplus income.)

That at the very low end this meant that benefits would be above usual working income was known, but considered by supporters to have limited moral hazard since it required involuntarily becoming unemployed to qualify and unemployment was (and remains) high so that most people with it wouldn't be able to get new jobs anyhow, because of propensity to spend at the low end, the extra income was also viewed as general stimulus as well as individual relief.

It was also controversial from the beginning, with the Right raising moral hazard arguments that it would encourage people to become and remain unemployed, as if that were an option for most recipients.

> or assuming that our government has enough money lying around to pay everyone this much all of the time

Federal spending doesn't come from money laying around, in the first place, it comes from money the government decides to have because it wants to spend it. Even if you buy into the mythology of the fisc, marginal spending comes out of borrowing at, typically, very low interest rates (currently, IIRC, at negative real interest rates), not

Glossika, which I use and recommend for other languages, has a free Gaelic course:

That's for small businesses, not corporations.
That breakdown is missing the trillion dollars of corporate debt that the fed is now engaging in purchasing. Correction: in terms of direct corporate debt purchase, they have currently committed to less than half a trillion dollars of purchases independent of the CARES act. But the breakdown is also missing $210 billion of reduced corporate taxes!

The CARES act is a good attempt at providing fair outcomes for everyone, but that is just one of the things the fed is funding. Take a look at their balance sheet from their own website: it went up over 2 trillion in the blink of an eye and they are not done yet: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

There are winners and losers in what is going on now, and corporate America is without doubt the biggest winner. By proxy, the wealthiest Americans that are the biggest owners of the financial assets the fed is supporting are also the biggest winners. Since we are accomplishing all this by printing money, those that don't win lose even more because their dollars are worth less. The long-term result on the current course will be even greater wealth disparity between the rich and the poor.

You might have noticed many people complaining about this wealth disparity during the recent economic recovery in which the fed has added almost 4 trillion dollars to their balance sheet (again see the fed's chart).

These wealth gaps historically lead to populism, which gets us our current president.
Fine if you want to add the amount for subsidizing the Unemployment Insurance from the CARES Act the numbers again:

$4T to the FED to prop up the stock market

$700B in forgivable loans to small businesses (PPP program)

$300B in taxpayer stimulus checks

$260B in Unemployment Insurance subsidies

>suggesting that we could all have received $18K is disingenuous. Proper response should be targeted where needed

It is not disingenuous at all to say taxpayers should have received the lions share of these bailouts (bailouts being paid for by taxpayers), or at minimum its not disingenuous to say taxpayers (not law makers beholden to corporate interests) should have dictated where the bailout funds go...I would say it is disingenuous to claim taxpayers would have sent 8x the amount they received to the FED to prop up an overvalued stock market that was already at record highs.
The problem is the essential workers don't actually have any leverage, because quitting your job doesn't let you file for unemployment (or makes it harder/reduced benefits). So the essential workers can only really demand a raise for fairness, they can't say "pay me more than $600/week or I'll quit and get that from the government".
whatever value your argument may have, it's not relevant to Covid.

That's why we have a government

It entirely depends on the manner in which it comes about. Forced (ultimately via violence) is not really free (liberty) and volitional compassion (charity) is generally ethical.

However, it gets a bit blurry when you're in a democratic society and you voted for politicians who implement taxes.
I’m not arguing that speed doesn’t increase risk, nor that we shouldn’t have speed limits.

I’m arguing that they’re approximations of safe behavior. Prevailing traffic science suggests safe traveling speeds are heavily dependent on conditions, yet most speed limits are static.

I’m okay with the idea that people should not exceed the speed limit because we’ve chosen it as a reasonable compromise. I’m less okay with saying that those who break the speed limit are unsafe by default, or that those who follow the speed limit are driving at a safe speed.

Does thermal paste expire? Yes and no.

The manufacture paste isn't supposed to expire and is designed for a long long life (5-10 years). That said, pump-out still happens.

Pump out is the result of thousands of thermal cycles of the heat source and the heat destination on the thermal interface material.

You might be able to fix your problem by replacing the thermal paste, but caveat is that "performance" thermal paste is MORE susceptible to pump-out and would need to be replace more frequently.

Manufactures choose "less performant" thermal pastes because they have longevity. You don't tell users to re-paste their CPUs on a year/bi-yearly basis.

DIY people choose the "performant" options because benchmarks happen only on the first day and non-performance means it's time to upgrade.

For you, replacing the thermal paste will improve the transfer of heat to the heat sink, but if your CPU/GPU generates more heat than the system can get rid of, it's MAX fan time. It's really a function of efficient your system is at generating and dissipating heat and what you are doing on the laptop.
Particularly when dead men tell no tales.
Why should those engineers be paid $150k if they're generating more than $300k of value? For that matter, why should an Indian engineer be paid $80k if they're generating $300k of value minus whatever hidden costs you want to assign (surely not $220k)?

It caught on during the 80 and mid-90s, Object Pascal was originally designed for Lisa and MacOS OS development, before Borland, TMT and others adopted it.

But then Borland decided selling Lifecycle tooling to Fortune 500 was more interesting than small developers.

Delphi and C++ Builder are still around, unmatched in several of their RAD capabilities, but a couple of generations were lost, even if now they try with the community editions.

Its a trend that will reduce US salaries and number of jobs. So US programmers can't be enthused.
Oh, it's not a bad thing.

But competition works the other way, too.

Police killings in the US are around 40 times higher per capita than in the rest of the developed world. Murder Rate is also around 5 times higher than in the rest of the developed world.

Clearly this are problems that needs to be addressed.

My opinion is, that the first step to solve this issue are good safety nets for everyone.

Sentence lengths need to be reduced and victimless crimes should not be punished.

The prison system must be rebuild from the ground up to reintegrate offenders to reduce the risk of re-offending.

Police training needs to be improved as well. It can't be that two sober cops end up shooting a drunk that is sobering up in his car in the back because they are unable to handle such a ordinary situation.
