Undoubtedly true. Doesn’t change the fact that true SEO is about helping the searcher resolve their query. Google is evil, but they have the best search algorithm in town.
I always find it curious how easy it is for beliefs seem to line up so smoothly along party lines... even unrelated ones like economic policy and religion all seem to line up in a very clean way in the US.

Is there another universe where all the religious people are very pro-economic redistribution? That seems to be within reasonable interpretation of the teachings of Jesus.
this is inaccurate in a variety of dimensions. they have more complicated gearing (strain-wave) and and perception systems for safety (for nearby humans) and positioning (unless you can get the stunning tolerance stacking that the automotive industry gets.)
The open stance on R&D that the industry is currently adopting is good for everybody involved. I hope it will become the norm someday.

How does this weird chicken-and-egg situation make sense to you? You seem to have this weird notion of which things come from other things??? It is very odd. Why are you posing a situation in which someone is using Shopify without a product?

Financial products aren't stagnant. This is a wild non sequitir generalisation which doesn't really indicate careful thought (they aren't stagnant, duh). And yes, as I said, tech is used to improve the product...it is an investment...that is why you can capitalise development costs.

And yes, just yes. Again, you seem to (somehow) have picked the worst possible example for your argument. Have you been to an Apple store? Is it just a IPhone lying on the ground? No, the stores are product-related. Literally, you picked the company in the world that has specialised most heavily in trying to added product value through their stores. They are not a cost, they are an investment (even companies that have a low-cost store format...that is a reflection of their product/brand/etc. and again, this will keep coming up, some of these costs are literally capitalised and literally investments on the balance sheet).

Again, another bizarre point about which things come from other things...a distinction which presumably makes sense to you. Again though, marketing is an investment, it is how consumer staples companies have built up brands (again, it is something that some investors also capitalise onto the balance sheet). Marketing is also not regarded as a "cost center" in any business...at this point, I can only assume/hope you are trolling...but just read any financial report of a consumer-facing company. Any.

These rigid groups you have in your mind are very weird too. X is cost center, Y is marketing, Z is a cost...it has been fun for me but...this isn't how the real world works.

You might say that UX (User Experience) includes UI design and marketing: the objective is to imagine yourself as a customer experiencing the product or service afresh.

Writing dialogue is an activity we often associate more with creative writing exercises; where the objective is to meditate upon compassion for others.

One must imagine themself as ones/people/persons who interact with the team.

Yeah it’s easier to not say hateful things than it is to try to “appease the mobs”. So I guess that means if you’re not talking to your coworkers anymore, the only thing you could contribute to the conversation before was hateful things?

My team has very nice conversations about the weather, our pets, even video games we’ve played or movies we’ve watched. Nothing “woke” about it. If you’re worried about being canceled, maybe try saying something that has nothing to do with politics?
It's "defensive" only until the company starts sliding financially, at which point it becomes _very_ offensive. That's how IBM got MS into this game: one day IBM lawyers showed up with an invoice at Bill Gates' office.

So what should we do? Honest question.
It looks like every single example they found with methanol contamination is imported from Mexico. I wonder if that's just because they only started there or if it's not a problem with imports from other regulatory domains.
> A tiny blurb along the lines of "I’d like to add you to LinkedIn network."

for a long time, there were dark patterns in the account creation flow that tricked users into importing their address book and mass-emailing invitations to join linked-in. the UX made it seem like you were just sending a request to connect with someone who is already on the service.

sounds like this tiny blurb was the seed that sprouted the account creation dark patterns.
I don't know where they have it, but cohosting isn't exactly free.

It is very specific case, that we should not extrapolate to mean it's general use case.

My reply was to your original meme-comment before you edited it into something else. It is disingenuous for you to request a clarification to your new edited comment. Shame in you.
I am working for a company that has moved from 3 to 15 backend developers and 25 to 50 services over the last year.

The amount of services is really quite meaninglessness compared to the amount of developers. As with anything the efficiency good down as the amount of people goes up. There is no way that 2000 people can agree on anything. So most likely there is lots and lots of overlap.

You could probably refactor some of this duplication out, but by the time you would be done new duplication would have emerged. Keeping many people in sync is just difficult :)

Anyway the point is that 2200 services is meaningless without telling how many employees are working on said services :)

I mean you've just declared your own opinion to be the consensus.

Apparently your impression is that most property damage from rioting has affected small business and home owners. My impression, from both mainstream and fringe media and personal observation, is definitely not that. I doubt we'll settle the disagreement on this point through discussion. ISTM one has to conjure up a quite particular "white anarchist" bad guy to support the "small business" theory. What branch of anarchism is more opposed to small business than to giant corporations? Anyway, basically the only reason white people speak up at these demonstrations is to encourage less property destruction.

I'm glad we agree that property owned by large corporations and covered by insurance is not something to worry about.

"Rioting and looting" (since we must constantly distract ourselves from the goals of protests that are manifestly mostly not those things) may not be a "valid" response to disease per se. In USA, we have seen multiple giant "bailout" laws passed in response to this disease, in nearly legislatively unanimous fashion, which have mostly given trillions of dollars to rich people while not changing the public health situation at all. At the same time, smaller expenditures in other nations have solved the problem to much greater extents than we've managed here. As a result, people in our families will die who would not have died if they lived in e.g. New Zealand or China or South Korea or Germany or Cuba. In that context, burning down some wealthy store that already received a giant handout from the government seems about right to me. In addition, we always expect crime to increase somewhat during economic downturns.

Destructive protests are the only thing that has ever moved the needle at all on police brutality. Just look at Ferguson: decades of no action and inexorably worse policy, followed by immediate changes once the burning started. It's almost as if the white power structure doesn't care about the lived experiences of black, brown, and indigenous people, and only responds when it is forced to do so.

For me personally at least, discovering open source meant learning that even if something looks like magic, it has source code behind it somewhere. Nothing is magic, everything is science(or engineering), even if that is hidden/obscured from the end user.

As a result of this, anything can be reimplemented/replaced, if you or someone else have knowledge on how to do so. This in turn means that it is possible to escape from unethical services, thus the article.

True, but I doubt that anyone would have gambled that much Hubble time without working out the statistical sensitivity of the measurement.
Does anyone know how one should go about learning about all these different financing methods / vehicles if I wanted to read about it by myself? And say for some reason I wanted to do an IPO/finance through a SPAC or something myself, where would I start and what would I need (assuming I don't want to hire some investment bank for me).

I used to work as a trader at an investment bank and I've always been curious about the corporate finance side of the business. I have a friend who worked in corp finance at a boutique IB and struck out by himself. He eventually ended up running his own boutique bank in China and deals almost exclusively with SPAC's by helping his Chinese clients list on Nasdaq or whatever. I was always curious how he did it and what one needs to do if he wanted to follow a similar path
Aren't those even the same thing? For users to have liberty implies a specific power dynamic between them and developers.
Let me rephrase your first (b).

b) a set of banks who were willingly ignorant that they were lending to a state with a history of bankruptcy over many decades, because they believed/knew that when push came to shove the EU (taxpayers) would bail them out (which they did. You realise that the Greek "bailout" was a bailout of the EU banks that lent to the Greek state).

This is a good point and something I had heard before! You are correct this is before gov't transfers.

I was looking more at the relative change versus arguing the numbers were absolute.
I think you lost the thread of conversation somewhere. The original question was:

"It's generally easier to play the role of the Very Reasonable Person Who's Just Asking Questions when you're defending the status quo; any change you stymie by undercutting people's emotional energy or by slowing things down works to your advantage."

I gave a counterexample.

That said, in most cases, good equity policies have nothing to do with racist quotas, and everything to do with cultures which are accepting of diverse patterns of communication, cultures, and behavioral styles, and with identifying talent wherever it may be found, rather than using surface indicators like school someone went to, clothing, or similar.

What do you think of Yonatan Zunger's proposed fix, to verify facts and not people?

So @sistersofmercy might get a Verified Badge saying "Religious Institute, Ireland", and @tsomofficial might get a Verified Badge saying "Musical Group, UK".

He wrote this in response to the Jason Kessler kerfuffle, well before the "factcheckUK" stunt, but it would have actually solved that too! Imagine seeing the username "factcheckUK" with the Verified Badge "Conservative and Unionist Party, UK 🇬🇧".

When everyone at every point in the pipeline throws their hands up and points the finger in front of them, no one takes action and we end up in the same place. As another reply said, change your recruiting practices to account for this difference.

Change isn't free - the question is if companies are willing to spend time and resources for it. Every time a company does this, they have put a price on their acceptance of the problem. For some companies that's a needed survival choice. There are many that are choosing to not fix the problem and instead focus on Wall Street numbers or similar, even though they clearly have enough profit/funding to invest in this societal problem.
Remember that those aren't 2200 separate things going on, but 2200 instances of the services. I'm sure that includes very large clusters running many copies of the same service.

I think you define "centrist" differently than I do.

Your definition seems to be "split the left-and-right down the middle." That's not the one I've heard or used.

That's okay; words are used differently in different places, but I'm not sure we're actually disagreeing as much as initial posts suggested. Most people I know who consider themselves "centrists" hold a mixture of left-wing and right-wing views. They don't just find the median opinions.

I think what you call "centrist," where I live would be called a "moderate."
I find it amusing to recall that Stallman's Free Software efforts were more or less kicked off by frustration with crappy closed-source printer drivers. 40 years later, being subjected to abusive behavior from your printer has become a near-universal experience.
If you ever have to start a big company from scratch, this is how to do it.

There aren’t any major drawbacks to this model when a business is young (first couple years). The downsides appear when you have different parts of your application with very different load requirements.

It also takes a lot of discipline to write code this way. Without strict code review and more experienced hands, the bounded contexts fall apart.

One of the advantages of the microservices model is it limits the damage people can do. :)

It forces a bounded context on a team of engineers and says “hey, play in this sandbox and follow these SLAs. If your internal designs are awful, good luck.”
What we are on the cusp of in the United States isn't revolution it is merely a return to normalcy. 90% of our leftists would qualify as centrists in most of the more civilized world.

The biggest "revolution" is apt to be providing health care to our people like the rest of the developed world. The "culture war" we are seeing is an increasingly large portion of the nation who simply finds bigotry, misogyny, ignorance, and hate unacceptable. This combined with an increasingly densely wired communication network means that bad behavior finds its way to the collective consciousness more frequently and finds a more receptive audience more willing to vote with their wallets.

The truly hilarious thing is that most of the people so "canceled" if they don't end up actually breaking the law and being incarcerated probably have a better life than most of the people doing the canceling. To equate this sea change in public reaction to bad behavior with the rise of Hitler or Stalin and the fascist/Communism is distorted enough that wrong is simply insufficient to describe it. It verges on illness.

Someone from an ex soviet state isn't better positioned to understand our current crisis anymore than someone who was once almost killed as a child by dogs is best suited to understand the "dangers" of dog ownership. They are apt to see menace and murder in the mind of a puppy. You simply don't understand this country and trying to obtain an insight by placing us in position of the soviet union doesn't provide insight it just obscures reality.

I am more than tired of hearing about the only side that doesn't want to destroy our country is somehow a bunch of Marxists. Its more than incorrect its a malicious lie propagated by the actual fascists. Please stop spreading it.
That is an incorrect interpretation.

I assure you there are /significantly/ more than 2200 instances of the services running.

No, you can’t buy your lawyer a beer. Your lawyer is not your friend.

No lawyer wants to give you anything resembling advice, or even commentary lest it be construed as advice, for free, out of contract, over a beer.

We don’t ask doctors and dentists to “come round for a beer wink wink nudge nudge”, so stop asking lawyers and tech people for free advice too.

Isn't this why a variety of industries such as banking are being or will be disrupted?

For example in banking, I would love to set up income apportionment (i.e. x% here, y% there, ...) but for some reason I have to split out income deposits every once in a while via manual, external tools. Why is it again that we haven't set up two sided and payee specific authorizations so that we never hand out data that can be used to steal from us and we could be notified if a payee tries to bump the bill? I've suggested these and other things to banks and credit unions for years...
I mean because a lot of critics were hopelessly out of touch. I don't fault them because they were part of a community that rewarded that behavior but evaluating a restaurant like it's an interactive art exhibit didn't help anyone except foodies find cool places to eat.
