> The facade people put up is good. You don't want to know what's behind that; you didn't pick these people, you're not marrying these people, you're working with them on a temporary basis then moving on.

This strikes me as a touch too misanthropic.

I went to school on a temporary basis with a whole load of people, who just happened to be my age. It was the same at university - people who happened to pick the same courses as I did. I never chose any of these people, yet I'm lucky enough to have made some wonderful friends, and I think that if I never took the risk to get to know anyone properly (not much risk, IMO - most people aren't putting up a facade that hides some horrible reality, at least not in my experience) my life would be much poorer.

Maybe give your colleagues another chance?
I hope America can recover out of the damage the current administration has done. If Joe Biden wins the presidency, he is going to be busy meeting leaders of the world apologizing the mess Trump has created.

Quoting comments:

> Trump won because the Democrats railroaded their best candidate in favor of someone who is profoundly unlikeable and untrustworthy. Regardless of if she is truly a criminal, or not, the Democratic party choose a candidate who is under investigation by the FBI instead of a candidate that had real honest to god connection with the working people of the country. The voters have literally said that even Trump is better than what the Democrats have tried to ram down their throats this election. This election was lost, not won.

I think we all would have been singing a different tune at this time if Hillary Clinton was the president. Remember, she lost by a small margin, and I really truly blame her for the complete mess. She trusted the polls too much, didn't raise empathy for people and she hadnt got the charisma of Obama to win people. Hillary even had the popular vote.

The course of history, and consequently the tunes of non-Americans and Americans' view of America would be different if small perturbations in short term had not caused profound changes in the outcome of history.

NZ press would be praising Hillary in one way or the other. It is simply that powerful.
I’m not up on what the latest orthodoxy on this is. But plenty of people have transitioned back and forth. And haven’t we also been told that gender is “fluid”?
But the real game changer would be if the managers stayed remote, evaporating the 'facetime' detriment typically faced by remote workers.

The specificity of the claims, high rate of battery fires on the road, general pattern of behavior at Tesla with respect to build quality and disregard for safety. Not enough to convict anyone but enough to convince me that it is more probable than not. It should also be enough to convince anyone that there is a serious possibility that it's true.

What verification would have satisfied you for the fraud at Wirecard (or Enron, etc.)?
The stats of Tesla deaths per million miles is better than moat cars, so until there's a proof that those statistics are biased, I side with Tesla.

I'm not sure how playing in a bubble without fans means they are a ghost. Honestly I wish fans didn't come back to live sports. Hearing the game and player noise makes everything much more enjoyable. I think most pro-sports are currently doing great besides missing ticket revenue, especially compared to a few months ago when they weren't going at all.

Anyways, I don't think measuring recovery in the number of events and parties is a very good metric. Though I agree without that there probably isn't going to be true herd immunity for this and I wish people would stop throwing around the term.
I’m less worried about google and the US governments influence on people in the US and more worried about the pervasive data collection combined with us government action in people outside the US and not protected by the same laws. The US government is pretty constrained inside its borders, it’s definitely not constrained outside.
I suspect this is one of those cases where there are temporary winners and losers. In places where housing was less expensive, such as much of the Midwest, a lot of people over-bought, so we have space that we didn't really need anyway, and that was idle during the entire work / school day.

I work in hardware development, and moved an entire lab to my house. I could think about what it's costing me to maintain this space and pay taxes on it, or think about the fact that I still have a job. And it would be hard to imagine this work being done in a lower cost region.

We had 4 people working from home until the school year ended. But the kids are old enough to be reasonably self sufficient during the day. It's actually been pretty easy.

Younger colleagues who are living in starter homes, or apartments, and have small kids, are having to figure out more compromises. Places with extremely expensive real estate also have higher salaries, at least for tech workers, so those folks may still be ahead of us Midwesterners.

Even before the COVID, there was a trend towards people buying a bit of extra space to set aside just in case their careers turned towards consulting or other similar work.

It's anybody's guess what the future holds.

This has already been substantiated on the court documents.

You didn't make it clear in your post, though I think that must be the angle you're coming from.
I don't know how you can say that fans haven't discussed this movie through a trans lens.

True. I forget sometimes that 'beverage' set doesn't include water.
If you spend $100K on a staging environment and it doesn't give you confidence that it won't fail on production, the problem is Your Staging, not The Staging.

If we have something fail in production, the first question we ask ourselves is: Why didn't we catch this in staging? 90% of the time, the answer is: "We didn't test if properly but thought we did."

Our rate of patching for defect is rare.

As far as the cost, our staging is run in hardware retired from production, with some upgrades (mostly RAM and SSDs). I'm not sure we've spent the authors $100K over 2 decades, let alone in a single year. But YMMV.

Unless you can show that she has any history of lying about this stuff I am going to assume that she is honest and that this is just a case of you being a snowflake.
Meh, if you have the opportunity to choose who you drink with I'd beg to differ. I've had many an enlightening discussion around how to deal with management, or some new angle to tackle a problem, or bringing to light a previously unknown opportunity, or a meta-discussion around how to deal with life itself and not just the job. I've also made some great friends along the way.

Now forced events with peers of varying closeness I'd be more likely to agree with you.

Of course they can, all three actually do, right now, at this very moment!
I'd start with the fact that it's 21 years later, and that the 'matrix is gender binary and agents are transphobes' makes zero sense to anyone who has seen the movie. Unless trans folk can slow time to dodge bullets, which would make me rethink my own gender I guess.
Nope. The date of origination in all these places and the very different type of agriculture in each location argues strongly against "carried by refugees".

Just consider the rather immense period of time between whenever the Americas were settled (currently looking like at least 30k years ago) and the emergence of agriculture.

Pixel is Google being aware of their handicap in this in-house hardware prototyping and research area, and ironically and obviously and predictably for Google, they apply ML to it too.

Apple can come at this same problem from the hardware and software sides all at once, with their own internal dev cycles aligning with the yearly iOS/iPadOS software drops, and iPhone/iPad hardware drops timed to a month or two of each other, year after year. Sure, it’s buggy as hell, but it still works better than Android. One would hope so, since you can’t do proper sideloading, as Android natively supports.

Apple’s security argument is a childlike excuse for not doing one’s homework, not a reasonable justification for Apple unreasonably and intentionally feature-gating iOS and iPadOS devices. I’m an owner and I’m root. I fully control devices I own because that is a Natural Right of exclusive ownership of hardware devices under American First Sale Doctrine, which has also been recognized by the Library of Congress as Constitutionally-protected usage to preserve inalienable rights to nondiscrimination in computing devices.

So Apple can take a hike. We’re getting what we need, and we’re getting bugs fixed. Jailbreaking has surfaced more 0days than jailbreak devs squirrel away for the next rainy day after iOS updates. We need native full root support, full stop.

These research phones have landmines everywhere in the license agreements to get one, and I’m not re-buying an iPhone I already own to get half-assed fakeroot, especially when I’m already running as root on all the iPhones I ever bought. It’s not hard to avoid updates and save blobs, but should we really have to intentionally run old, known-insecure builds just to have r/w and root? Is this a mainframe? This is a joke.

https://developer.apple.com/programs/security-research-devic...

What is Apple even arguing against? It’s not reality, that ought to be clear. They’re arguing for increased and continued profits for Apple, at the cost of our rights being trampled and violated, and were supposed to accept that they had our best interests at heart via increased security? Tell me another joke. Benjamin Franklin and me’ll be here all life.

The lack of free sideloading without a $99/year dev ticket is a joke. The scraps we get with 7 days between resigning apps is a joke. Devs are forced to abuse TestFlight to distribute apps which would otherwise be listed on App Store, if not for developers’ fears of App Store rejection, and potentially TestFlight revokes.

There’s gotta be a better way, but jailbreaking is the best we’ve got, for now. To that point, the Jailbreak Bot on Telegram is a public service, as is saurik himself and the entire reddit community r/jailbreak.

Why do you think the USPS shouldn’t be pre-funding pensions? The fact that other organizations don’t do it is not much more than what-about-ism. Type any city or state into your favorite search engine, and follow it with “pension crisis.”

Maybe Congress rightfully saw that the USPS pension fund would be insolvent if they weren’t forced, by law, to properly fund it? Most public pensions in the US are insolvent.

I think you know that the issue here is there are too many folks who will believe Musk nearly no matter what he says. It's going to take some really strong evidence to slow or stop his freight train. Maybe that comes; maybe it doesn't. But the power of true believers is strong and real. It helped save Apple in the late 90s, and it will give Musk many, many second chances.

Edit: My comment was very, very neutral. And very, very factual. Shame on you whoever downvoted me.
Economies do not always "bounce back". In fact, after the major economic impacts of the 20th century, most economies worldwide required gigantic public policies targetting their rebuilding to reemerge, and even that tended to take many, many years.
> 30+ year old colleagues will demand a reason for why I don't drink

Sorry to hear people treat you this way.

Depending on the situation and my energy level, I have a few standard answers. Obviously I'm careful about which one I use in what circumstance, but I get a kick out of shocking people who push when they shouldn't, and I find it teaches them not to push.

I'm very aware these are all excuses that I shouldn't have to make, but I feel they teach me more about the person I'm dealing with than just setting up a "dig in the heels" approach of "I don't want to".

My favourite is "My parole officer told me not to drink again". Playing with delivery on that one is a lot of fun. Say it quietly like you're scared someone else will hear, or say it super loud like you think it's a massive joke, and you might just drink again anyway!

"I promised myself I'd go a month without drinking to see how I feel" (How they respond to that tells you a lot about if they have any care in the world for you and your choices)

"A good friend was killed by a drink driver. I've had a hard time with alcohol since" (true story, so I don't feel bad saying it)

"I'm a professional athlete, alcohol messes with my training"

"Drug testing at work means I can't drink"

"I'm driving"

"I want to get up early tomorrow and train"

Henry V (1989 film)

I randomly saw it one night on PBS. I thought I had caught it in the middle of the movie, not realizing I turned it on the moment it started. I was pretty young and had no real interest in literature, the arts, whatever. But it looked neat "hey a dude in a castle" ... and I realized ... I kinda understood it. I couldn't explain it word for word in plain English, but I got the metaphors and the story enough hand was hooked. It opened up a world to me that I didn't think was within reach.

Certainly doesn't hurt that the film is absolutely packed with great actors.

This is patently false. You drink at the nomikai because everyone drinks at the nomikai. If you don't join, then you are seen as not being a team player. It's as simple as that. There is no subterfuge going on. Hell, the boss is usually the one that ends up the most drunk. Yes, perhaps some people may use it as a way to gain some insight, but you can apply that to anything.

And in addition, whatever is said or done at the nomikai stays in the nomikai. It's a way for the team to blow off some steam and be honest with each other. The next day, people carry on as if it never happened. I've been the drunk guy and the sober guy in these situations. You do learn a lot, but it's not the purpose of the gathering.

As someone coming from the physics side of things, I was about to post a similar comment myself. However, what the commenter is trying to do actually provides value in a way most physicists haven't experienced. I agree it'll be hard to get far if you keep avoiding mathematics, but I also think that if a physicist can't program it in a way this person can, then that is indicating a deficiency in the physicist. And I don't mean that to emphasize the programming aspect, but more that it's easy to find physicists who become good at doing the math but not so good at the actual physics, and get by merely with mathematical manipulations.

You can smell car exhaust even when there's not many cars on the road; if it's bad enough you can virtually taste it. Sitting at the lights is the worst. All that shit going into your lungs. And I don't even live in India or Vietnam, where the air pollution is unbelievably bad (literally - I did not truly get how bad it is in Delhi until I went there, even having seen photos) and people are just living in it, day in and day out.

In 5-10 years one of the things that will be recognized as a marker of privilege will be breathing clean air. We're going to see a diaspora out of the city and into the countryside... for the people who can afford to do that (and where the countryside offers clean air)

Air pollution is arguably the biggest health crisis in the world, and it has been a problem for decades. We're only just realising it, and it's still taking too long. It's taken decades to get climate change into people's minds, but right now today air pollution is having much bigger effects.
