I think you might have to be privileged to never work full time, but I know plenty of people of different backgrounds in Europe who in their late 20s early 30s started reducing how much they work for one reason or another and were able to do so. On the other hand, I know very few in my age group (mid 30s) that live in a hand-me-down property. If there is such a property in the family it is usually where the parents live.

Of course reducing work, comes with compromises what you can afford and is not feasible for a lot of jobs. And yes, for certain goals/timeframes there is no choice but to jump in the meat grinder, at least for a while. But there often are alternatives to stay out of it and live a comfortable live.

Also if you move to a country from abroad it will take you a while to live there efficiently. E.g. many of the expats I met in Switzerland complain about how much of their salary they spend on restaurants, services, etc. Sure it's very expensive, but they also use them like ten times more often than a Swiss would. Same for me as a Swiss living in Colombia. I regularly overspend just by being used to do things a certain way and being ignorant of the tweaks.
This was not a story about bird-watching. I don't know if you're drawing the comparison due to the faintest glimmer of similarity or you think it's about bird-watching. This was not a story that divided people. "Everyone" (that is, everyone who had opinions they wished to express) agreed the woman was a liar and a jerk.

This price is bananas.

As CTO for an enterprise, I’d shared this to our chief of staff as a possibly interesting lightweight tool to pilot.

Then I saw they want a multiple of retail or enterprise cost per user of full Microsoft O365 (Office) which includes One Note, Wiki, To Do, and Planner as well as native mobile apps for these.

Also per your last bullet on SOC 2: for us, it’s not just helpful. We require the reports.

For anyone thinking of starting a SaaS enterprise productivity tools business, here is the benchmark enterprise sourcing and procurement will compare you to:

Office 365 Business Essentials. This comes in at the cost of at $5 per user with an annual commitment or $6 with a monthly commitment. It also comes with access to Microsoft Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Planner, and Hub. This plan only includes access to the web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

The second, more expensive, option to getting Teams is with Office 365 Business Premium. This plan comes in at the cost of $12.50 user per month with an annual commitment or $15 per user per month with a monthly commitment. With this plan, you not only get Microsoft Teams, but also SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, as well as the option to install Office on all of your PCs, Macs, and phones.

For larger organizations with more than 300 employees, Office 365 Enterprise would be the best way to get Microsoft Teams for free and to all employees. It is included with the E1, E3, E5, and F1 plans:

- O365 F1: $ 4.00/user/month
- O365 E1: $ 8.00/user/month
- O365 E3: $20.00/user/month
- O365 E5: $35.00/user/month

Look at the enterprise IT management, security, and compliance value they’re offering at each pricing level. Really think about it:

Enterprise F1 is the cheapest since it is more about “frontline” workers and access to online services and apps. On the other hand, Office Enterprise E1 is also reasonably affordable, as it includes all the Office 365 collaboration services, as well as additional controls for IT professionals. In the middle is Office 365 Enterprise E3, which includes the full Microsoft Office suite of applications, and access to additional Office 365 collaboration services. Finally, with Office 365 Enterprise E5, you get the best of the best, which is everything included in all the other plans, and additional advanced security and analytics features.

The user experience “above the glass” is full featured by the second tier. The higher tiers’ added “enterprise” functionality is below the glass.

If the checkboxes in your tiers don’t look more like this, you might find a real challenge scaling into enterprise sales and sourcing.

My take.

I told a friend that I wasn't creating enough value at a job I was at to pay my salary and he thought that was great: I wasn't getting ripped off the way Karl Marx said workers get ripped off (e.g. I make $1 of value, get paid $0.80, capitalist pockets $0.20)

I told him that no, that I was either going to lose that job, the firm was going to go out of business, I was going to face unbearable stress, somehow it would be end in tears.

If you get perks for a few years but don't pull your own weight, don't develop your skills, and don't have the confidence that you can pull your weight, you will pay the price someday, that's certain.
Same here. Even a simple transaction such as recording my salary still leaves me confused.

The 2010s/20s had an opioid epidemic - funded by big pharma, so that's okay, I guess. Today corporate crime is endemic (ask the people involved in Greek bonds and 1MDB.)

500,000 people are bankrupted by the health care system every year, carbon pollution is literally endangering the entire planet, the US has some of the lowest educational standards and poorest social mobility in the developed world, and the US establishment solution to a relatively straightforward health threat like Coronavirus is an ongoing fiasco.

And... the lines for gasoline were caused by OPEC constraints on gasoline, not by feckless poor people agitating for their rights.

He is an Amazon critic. He left the company due to issues with the company but also wants everyone to know that this is not an issue solely with Amazon. To be upset that you are called a critic of a company you criticized is strange. The reporters were writing a story on his criticism of Amazon - not on his views of society. And they included his statement that it is the entire industry to be clear of his opinion. I liked his essay and agree with it as an additional statement of clarifying in his own words, but I do not think the reporters have done anything wrong here.
What is wrong with modern times
I've had very similar experience - a dream that turned into horror (I was visiting family when I remembered my grandpa is dead and they all turned into zombies and started pursuing me) - then I "woke up", sit up in my bed (and my room mate seen me sit up with open eyes), I looked at him, and he turned into a zombie and attacked me, then I woke up for real, already siting.

It was very scary. It might have something to do with the fact that we were studying before an exam late into night and I drank about 2 liters of pretty strong tea to keep studying (and fell asleep anyway eventually).
From the Arrow FAQ

How does Arrow relate to Flatbuffers?

Flatbuffers is a low-level building block for binary data serialization. It is not adapted to the representation of large, structured, homogenous data, and does not sit at the right abstraction layer for data analysis tasks.

Arrow is a data layer aimed directly at the needs of data analysis, providing a comprehensive collection of data types required to analytics, built-in support for “null” values (representing missing data), and an expanding toolbox of I/O and computing facilities.

The Arrow file format does use Flatbuffers under the hood to serialize schemas and other metadata needed to implement the Arrow binary IPC protocol, but the Arrow data format uses its own representation for optimal access and computation.

Care to be more specific? What types of equipment, and how difficult is it to duplicate the tech?
Your entire argument is based on a series of false equivalencies and misdirections.

The SDS and the Weathermen had almost no mainstream political influence relative to the business lobby, so obviously they can’t be compared in this way. Public college administration increasingly became corporatized and managed by the same business interests.
Elite universities always have been. Local planning boards are captured by the wealthy in their communities. The economic trouble was driven by the oil shock, not high rates of unionization. Many countries in Europe have high rates of unionization and are not in anyway “barren.”
Over inflation is mostly on the west coast because of the inflated salaries of tech companies that until now, didn’t want people to work remotely. There is no reason that a software company couldn’t have all of its employees work from anywhere in the country.

As far as I know, the entire cloud consulting division of the three major cloud companies always had plenty of by default remote jobs. I know that AWS does (that’s where I work).

It doesn’t quite. You’ll also need to consider allocations and accounting for tax (sales and income), depreciation, transaction fees, warehousing, shipping revenue and expenses, revenue and expense recognition, discounts, returns, overpayments, prepayments, futures, chargebacks, refunds, credit notes, invoicing, subscriptions, subsidies, tariffs, reconciliation, adjustments in the current financial year, adjustments for already reported periods, gains & losses on foreign exchange, and subledger roll-up for your parent fruit company’s GL.

You’ll need to maintain consistency and coherence in multiple combinations of the above, and when the auditors show up, be able to show unequivocally that you understood every edge case when recording and reporting transactions, especially the ones that crossed a financial year boundary.

Accounting software mechanises all this. It is not simple.
To work for TSMC it would have to be a long term commitment. But Intel has the cash to pay for it and given recent events it would boost investor confidence if Intel could say (e.g.) 30% of our CPUs in future will be made by TSMC.

I feel like you're jumping to conclusions prematurely.

I honestly don't think I am. I am currently a freelance writer by trade. I sometimes write health articles. I'm familiar with protocols for how to carefully qualify things to keep them factual and avoid wild speculation and suggest confidence levels for various tidbits while being informative.

I am not super impressed with the quality of the medical information in the piece.

But given that thanking someone for their remark and saying "Oh, that makes sense to me" is getting me so much flak, it's probably best for me to bow out of this discussion at this point.
Keep in mind that Arrow Java<->C++/Python interop has been in production use in Apache Spark and elsewhere for multiple years now. We have avoided some of the mistakes of past projects by really emphasizing protocol integration tests across the implementations.
Accounting professionals can only ever look at user interfaces. If there is a suspicion of fraud then a court can ask expert witnesses to look into the software itself.

The law does put some constraints on what accounting software must and must not allow users to do (e.g change data without leaving a trace).

But I'm not aware of any specific legal requirements regarding data representation or mandating the use of specific algorithms where mathematically equivalent ones exist.

Granted they have a bit of a reputation for being 'lesser' subjects. I don't really agree that everyone needs to be taught this though, most Britons don't have to 'do taxes', and aren't running companies. It should probably form a part of trades' apprenticeship training (and for all I know it does) due to the higher prevalence of self-employment (and thus running a business, and self-assessing tax even if not incorporated).
>> Studies sometimes claim that only 2 to 8 percent of rape allegations are false. Yet the rate for allegations that go ultra-viral in the media must be an order of magnitude higher than this.

Which implies that publicising a rape allegation makes it difficult to prosecute it successfully. The article suggests instead that feminist activists specifically select false allegations for publicity, which seems to assume that feminist activists possess some kind of ability to identify false allegations before they are prosecuted, or, indeed, to predict the outcome of a rape case with high accuracy. This is a very strong assumption and is the first thing that should be tested for consistency.

A simpler explanation is that rape allegations are more likely to lead to a failed prosecution, than they are likely to be false. If that was the case, we should expect to also observe a higher rate of failed prosecutions in general (i.e. regardless of publicity) than the rate of false rape allegations.

Though I can't find much relevant data for the United States (there is more for the UK) some sources suggest that such an effect can indeed be observed:

According to FBI statistics, out of 127,258 rapes reported to police departments in 2018, 33.4 percent resulted in an arrest.[13] Based on correlating multiple data sources, RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) estimates[30] that for every 1,000 rapes, 384 are reported to police, 57 result in an arrest, 11 are referred for prosecution, 7 result in a felony conviction, and 6 result in incarceration. This compares to a higher rate at every stage for similar crimes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_the_United_States#Pros...

In other words, while 2-8% of rape allegations are false (according to the article), about 0.7% of rape allegations are successfully prosecuted. Such low rate of successful prosecutions would easily account for a high rate of publicised cases failing without the need of a specialised rape prosecution outcome prediction organ in feminist activists.
It seems like you misunderstand the argument.

It's not about absolute performance of the processor. CPU performance is always combination of microarchitecture and process.

Traditionally Intel had better processors with worse microarchitecture due to better process technology.

Friendly reminder that even if flu was the direct cause of you having scar tissue on the heart, it's a single data point rather than a great citation.

edit: good citation provided by twic below
I agree. For citations in non-academic/legal writing, IMO it's best to name the source in the text in an informal way, as you say, and then probably use end-notes. The exact form doesn't really matter as long as the detail is out of the way because very few readers will ever see it.

That said, I do miss the fact that the form of footnotes on the printed page doesn't translate well to ebooks (except for PDFs on tablets) and HTML. I used to write IT industry research and our general style was fairly conversational. We tended to use footnotes a fair bit for things like:

- Bulletproofing. ("Yes, we know there some exceptions to the statement we just made like A, B, C but their edge cases that aren't really relevant to our central argument.)

- Short historical digressions that would drop the reader out of the flow.

- Short background that most readers probably know but just in case someone doesn't

And so forth. I do still feel like I've had a stylistic tool taken away given that I have to increasingly write knowing that I can't depend on having easy to scan footnotes at the bottom of the page and clicking through is way too obtrusive for the manner I usually use footnotes.

My predominant aim was countering the wholly incorrect "automatic take-off was possible 15 years ago but the airlines don't use it" statement put forward by the OP.

However, since you ask, I would say two things :
(a) The very Press Release you link to does take care to manage expectations (e.g. "Airbus’ mission is not to move ahead with autonomy as a target in itself").

(b) Your automatic take-off in 100% of situations is never going to happen. Sure, on a perfect dry day with nil-winds you can conjure up a great sounding Press Release. But throw in some "real world" and you can forget it. Cross winds, monsoon flooded runways, engine failures, bird strikes, failures of electronic systems (yes, it happens, even with triplicate redundancy) ... the highly trained humans at the front are not going anywhere, nor is their training regime going to be cut back.
Intresting facts:

You would think so--but I don't think the rental market is that elastic anymore. I'm in a college town, so take this with a grain of salt, your milage may vary, etc, but around here with the looming possibility of all the schools being online only in the fall, loads of houses are sitting unrented. In a naive model you would expect to see these houses rent fall in a bid to capture any sort of rent. However what we're seeing in many places here is the opposite--the rent is RISING. The owners behind these properties have non-elastic costs. They've purchased these properties as investments using borrowed money. The bank doesn't stop collecting their payments just because the house is empty. So they have a stable of properties and falling numbers of renters so they RAISE the rent to try and extract any value from the few renters they can capture to try and cover their debts.

It was happening with commercial properties before the COVID pandemic. I started noticing this because I was looking for warehouse space for personal woodworking projects and office space for my business (neither with any sort of urgency, so lots of browsing over time). I noticed that the stock increased every month, but the prices never budged. Then in the local business newspaper they started listing square footage of unrented business properties. Month after month it has increased with no visible signs of rent adjustment.

I suspect the only thing that will eventually cause rents to decrease property speculators defaulting on their loans, which will lead to bank foreclosures and sales. The banks will then hold on to the properties and keep listing them because they can afford to hold the properties and attempt to wait to receive a 'market rate' sale price. Once the banks can no longer afford to just sit on the properties and sell them for whatever they can get for them, then you'll start to see a cycle of falling rents. Until then I think you're going to see stagnant or even increasing rents.
