Wishful thinking is a powerful drug. The same technique is used on dating apps, where a beautiful "girl", explicitly seeking sex, sends you a link to some paid service, to "verify" your account or some nonsense.
Just musing a bit further, there are multiple ways you could attack this. For instance, you could also encourage people to work shorter hours—we've all become much more productive in the past century, so why are we still working 40 hours a week at minimum?
If you don't like the industry you're in, programming culture, or the software stack you're used to, one way to break out of it is to get a low level office job in the sort of place you want to work and figure out how to solve problems with technology among people who don't normally have developers at their beck and call.

This is also, I think, how you find a job that is very stable and secure - focusing first and foremost on something other than technology until they can't imagine hiring someone off the street to replace you who doesn't know the business.
Higher wages in an industry are good for workers who make the cut, but bad for everyone else.
I really liked slashdots system. It seemed to work well too.
And they convince themselves that anyone who is struggling is struggling because of being lazy and not working hard enough. That country could use a good dose of compassion for their fellow humans. But instead they prefer to dehumanize others, and regard others as little more than wild animals.

As a young kid I always dreamed of flying in the upper deck of the queen. I fulfilled it a few years ago, in one of the last Delta flights on the 747. I, too, share your feelings.
> No need to be deliberately obtuse

It's important, because using the wrong/imprecise terminology muddles the conversation, and allowing it to go uncorrected normalizes it. When it comes to something like politics, all this will lead to is more polarization.
I was at a company that had a few rounds of layoffs. great way to destroy a culture. Everybody hunkers down, looks out for themselves, and teamwork dies.

So when people say companies are afraid of hiring false positives because it's costly to get rid of them - it's their internal corporate culture that is to blame for firing being expensive in the first place? Rather than some overarching legal complications?
I should have put "experimenting" in quotes - just saying there is no evidence this is based on gender ideology so insinuating it is also spinning this in to ideological terms.

Tangent: during my last stint on unemployment, there was this class we were required to attend. In that class, they repeatedly told us that we are not entitled to unemployment benefits. They didn't exactly offer an alternative vocabulary.
So is Twitter a right guaranteed by the constitution or is it a private company free to censor whomever it deems to have crossed a fuzzy line it cannot define in plain terms?

To test it's accuracy or just to see if it ever shifts from 99% (or random fluctuations)? For the latter you you'd just use inorganic material of varying thickness/opaqueness.
You're using averages from a statistically highly invariant sample range.

If a mean average is taken of everyone in society and all of the places in society, some fit that might sound reasonable is very likely.

However like the article what matters are prices within actual places that people want to live. Like a city they grew up in, a city that actually has jobs, a place with a functional educational system for their children.

I assume you and everyone else would like to have service workers inside of big cities? Where should they live? Where should everyone else that isn't in the top 10% of income earners live?

How can owning a home close to a job, and actually being able to put down roots and build a community be incentivized? In my mind that is logically divorced from renting and serfdom, and thus housing should be a liability rather than an asset.

In a word: No.

CPUs have become so fast that relative to their "internal" speeds, RAM is the new hard disk. Databases are becoming in-memory, and going out to fixed storage, even SSD, is an anathema.

New applications are not designed to work on data sets bigger than physical memory. Disk-to-disk streaming algorithms are practically unheard of outside of a few niche scenarios. Like I said, even database vendors are moving to in-memory!

I love machines with huge amounts of memory. My laptop has 64 GB, and it's great! I can run entire fleets of servers in a local hypervisor. I can load huge blobs of CSV or JSON data into the shell and not have to worry about the 2-5x overhead of the in-memory representation. It'll fit just fine. I can run every "bloated" app at once and still have 50 GB free for "whatever". I've reindexed a database on my laptop in minutes that would have taken days(!) on a production server because it didn't have enough RAM and was thrashing the storage like crazy.

Another way to look at it is the "GB per CPU core". With existing AMD EPYC 2 CPUs having 64 cores and 128 threads, the typical 512 GB memory configuration is "only" 8 GB per core, or 4 GB per thread! With a dual-socket server, halve those numbers again. Similarly, mainstream desktop Ryzen CPUs have up to 16 cores, and that's not even talking about the not-so-mainstream Threadripper line. For 4GB per core, you'd need 64 GB.

It's likely that AMD will release 24 or 32 core mainstream CPUs in the near future, maybe as soon as 2 years from now when their 5nm products start shipping. I fully expect server CPUs to hit 96-128 cores per socket around the same time frame, or up to 512 hardware threads in a standard two-socket server. Terabytes of memory is going to become "standard" very soon now.
> Do they lose marks for going row-first?

It's not objectively wrong to do this. Suggesting that "SoA is always right", tells me that maybe you don't understand the trade-offs between expediency, readability and performance... or understand the trap of early optimisation. Always measure first before optimising, otherwise write code that's easier to read, and simpler to write.

> Twitter is so bad it crashes my browser. It's 90% text!

Not sure how knowing how to micro-optimise cache-effects fixes these issues. Profiling and spending time on perf does, but they've decided it's just not worth their time.

> Ehh, skeptical. Unless your data & algorithms are structured as contiguous arrays of primitives to begin with you're going to have trouble refactoring the abstraction.

The keyword is refactor. Developers and organizations do it all the time - or at least they ought to.

Disclaimer: Used to work in the video games industry. Literally worked for years doing perf, and cache-level optimisation.

Perhaps, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that governments unnecessarily handles huge amounts of other people's money. What does anyone here expect - that they could make industry-leading returns or do something better than the private sector?

Do you think the problem would be fixed by making sure Deloitte no longer got involved? What's to prevent the same people from moving to Schmeloitte to continue the practice?
Wait, it uses HALF the fuel but carries only 30% less passengers (a380: 555 across 3 classes, a350: 387 across 2 classes)

Man, even aside from the deprecated hub and spoke model, this just seems too easy an argument against the a380. No wonder it croaked.
What you call value is really speculations. There is really no association between the value generated by corporations and what the traders think they'll make off trading its stock.
Despite sounding related, QDR and DDR are mostly unrelated technologies. They are also both poorly named.

The real purpose of DDR is not actually to double the data rate, but to halve your clock speed and allow you to use the same frequency for your clock as your data. This mostly benefits signal integrity.

QDR is better understood as memory with two ports, one for reading and one for writing, which can be used at the same time. This is a lot more expensive and really doesn't have huge benefits for PCs compared to just adding more channels (as DDR5 does).
Purely out of interest, what does the tech stack tend to look like for these big projects?

Do they use open source components and frameworks? Are they using Oracle?

Do they tend to have good test coverage and continuous deployment?

What kind of version control do they use - what kind of branching / release model etc?

I've been immersed in the GitHub-centric open source world for so long I don't really have a feel for how these big Deloitte government IT projects work.
I play the game, so maybe I'm biased, but that's legitimately a huge accomplishment. Use whatever verb you want I suppose, but that's literally top 0.001% in a game renowned for being incredibly difficult/competitive.

> Democracy requires citizens to know the facts at a level of understanding that is actionable. It takes a lot of work and skill to distill the chaos of mass human behavior into something that voters can make sense of and journalists are the closest we have to experts at that process.

I agree with you that good journalists are essential to society 100%. I also think that the current state of affairs is doing more harm than good. We would be better off as a society if CNN and Fox News dissolved tomorrow.

> In a capitalistic ecosystem where the fitness function is profitability, the only organizations that survive are the ones that choose money.

What about the Red Cross, the NRA, the Sierra Club, the NAACP, the ACLU? There is absolutely room in a capitalist society for non-profit organizations that at least some segment of the population are passionate about enough to fund them.

In the modern age, there is also room for independent journalists. Thousands of Youtubers and podcasters make a living through patreon, why not journalists? With the internet, you don't need to backing of a massive news outlet to have your story printed and distributed.

Yes, they were. What I am saying is they were that because they were Marxist-Leninists. Pol Pot and Mao started out as Marxist-Leninists and that lead them to establish military dictatorships. That set of prior ideological ideas leads inevitably to that sort of situation.

One reason I think it is important to stress this is that defenders of Marxism-Leninism say that regimes like this went bad because they fell away from Marxist-Leninist values, which implies it could have gone better, but I say the ideology always leads to that result.

So let me ask you, do you disagree? Do you think it is possible for a Marxist-Leninist regime to turn out good?

With everyone working from home due to the pandemic I think these admin tools have never been more vulnerable. I would bet these tools were unavailable outside of a twitter office building until now.

But now these tools are accessible from the homes of twitter admins. How many of them are running behind compromised home routers, etc? Everyone in the house has access - spouses, partners, teens, visitors.

I bet twitter doesn't have a lot of extra security on their admin tools. They probably write straight to the production database. Those safeguards would really slow down day to day support and be expensive to build, and they probably assumed the physical security of the office building was good enough.

I think the most like cause was a disgruntled employee working from home plus a little bribery.
I worked at one of Deloitte's sister companies (another one of the Big 4). I used to think the same way you did, until I later had experience working with other software consulting companies.

As bad as Deloitte et al are (and holy shit are they bad, especially at producing software), they are sadly still much better than most of the other clown shops out there.
I found out about that issue the hard way last week. Pictures started coming out too dark, and searching online quickly revealed that it's a well-known issue and that a class action lawsuit was filed back in May. Repairing it was pretty straightforward, but sourcing a replacement part from before production moved from Japan to China was unpleasantly expensive.
Elon Musk's account getting hacked or promoting a cryptocurrency scam would have made news immediately, so I think you are mistaken.
I wonder if there will be a Cunard-like airline that flies older planes because people want to experience them.

I believe Cunard (part of Carnival) operates the Queen Mary 2, the last running ocean liner on Earth. It does Southampton to New York via traditional Atlantic crossing, just like the Titanic (almost) did. Not sure if it makes money, but (pre-pandemic) it was likely subsidized by other cruise ships or by QM2 cruising herself.

It'd be cool to have a flight from Heathrow to JFK (?) on one 747 for people who want to experience the same plane. I think an airline enthusiast might go several times a year, and there's a goodly number of airline enthusiasts.

I think a flying boat tour of the Pacific islands would be a wicked honeymoon!
TSMC's headquarters is in Taiwan. Wonder if these kinds of issues will make China do to Taiwan what it did to Hongkong.
Tons of shitty stuff happening, from George Floyd, to Harvey Weinstein, to Jeffrey Epstein, to Julian Assange. But at least we know about them.

I would prefer live in the West also. I also know a lot of people in the world value security over free expression.

Just as much, I'm reasonably sophisticated in my reading of the news and the open expression here allows me to pick the truth reasonably easily out of a stream of lies. But the stream of lies is there, every day I encounter people online who instead fall for the stream of shrill claim sloshing around both the Internet (aside from Murdock crap, you have "Russian Bounties", etc). Again, the US still looks better to me but the way things are going, the US is not doing a good job selling it's model.

Of course, if you mention Epstein, everyone here knows about him but few-to-no US paper, "pedophile, apparently murdered in prison by persons unknown" and people in China know often know the operations of the state to that degree, at points when the real story is obvious and the state isn't that concerned. Admittedly, there are stories about prison officials moving Maxwell around the prison to prevent her from also being murdered - but directly calling officials for Epstein's murder, not visible (no, I don't miss him but his murder was clearly to protect the guilty and nations should pretend the rule of law at least).
It's not just about access to information, but actual power and perceived power; the chances that the average rational person will be fooled and react to "The U.S. Treasury has been ordered to fast-track the evaluation and adoption of Bitcoin as an option for official government transactions" is much higher coming from Trump, Pence, Mnuchin, McConnell, or any number of the official social media accounts of U.S. agencies than it is for Obama or Biden. Sure, the latter could most definitely fool people, but that's possible with any famous account, like Elon Musk's or Kanye's.
Simply, many of the common situations where you'll find a pocket knife handy around your home also happen outside your home not infrequently. As you go through your day, look around for situations where a tool that can cut, pry or poke would be useful. They're probably more common than you might think.

Some examples I can think of off the top of my head, some of which may be decried as blade abuse by knife enthusiasts.

* Need to get a can of paint open, and just how all Phillips-tip screwdrivers in a 30 meter radius spontaneously cease to exist when it's time to open the case to some piece of tech, so do all flat-tip screwdrivers when it's time to open a can of paint. But the spine of the knife behind the tip makes a decent pry tool in this case.

* The ram upgrades that were ordered two weeks ago for all the CAD workstations in the engineering department have just arrived, in those thrice-damned bubble packs that cut you back when you try to cut them open with scissors. Stab, slice and now the only gods that are getting a blood sacrifice today are the gods of the insides of computer cases.

* Pulling network cable in a new office installation. Juan borrowed your jacket stripper, and hasn't come back from back from lunch yet. But, you've got practice in applying just the right pressure to cut the jacket without nicking the insulation of the twisted pairs inside or slicing your thumb.

* While visiting a friend, the mail arrives, including little Billy's latest issue of Superman. To Billy's frustration, it in one of those plastic bags that simply does not tear when pulled on, it just stretches. One poke later, and now it actually will tear open, and Billy can see how Superman's fight with Darkseid comes out.

* It's Reverse Engineering Night at the local hackerspace. Ahh, gadget makers are so cute. They think a recessed plastic tab smaller than human fingers can protect the case screws from your kit of specialty screwdrivers designed for voiding warranties.

* Rebuilding the engine for a project car. While assembling the cylinder head, you notice that the caps for the camshaft had little slots machined into their faces to act as channels for oil distribution. But, when the machine shop did a hot-tank cleaning of these parts, not all of the hardened crud came of of those little channels. Dammit, now your remember the reason you'd been keeping that old set of dental picks that you threw away last week when cleaning out the garage. Well, pocket knife tip is fine enough to get in there with some care.

I'm sure you or your friends can probably come up with some more examples.

Yes, because staying put on the train tracks when you hear the train whistle is a good idea. This reminds of those "self-defense" classes my elementary school used to do- they're not martial arts, they're practical ways to keep yourself safe. Should you cross the street the second the traffic signal gives you the go-ahead without even looking up the road? Of course not. No amount of right-of-way or moral authority will restore your shattered body. So no, staying in place when you're clearly in danger and are actively being warned about this danger is a pretty stupid idea. Enjoy being a martyr though.

Yes, you're most likely right. While physical tokens are relatively cheap, MFA setup can be not the most straightforward outlay. Still a lot simpler given the many SSO companies out there these days.

That said, tokens are probably simpler than zero trust network setup. Even if you had a zero trust network, you'd still want tokens in case an employee machine is compromised.

I had the opinion about lawyers that I couldn’t afford one and I was intimidated to even talk to one. This went on for over 4 months, then I continued to drag my feet throughout the process. Long story short it only cost about $500 for a couple of meetings in person, a few phone calls, and several emails. By the end I felt very confident in my position and only wished I had done it months ago. I strongly encourage you to reach out to a lawyer and let them help. Good luck!
