> Depending on the answer to that question, Twitter may need to block the employment of immigrants or citizens to stop this sort of industrial sabotage in the future.

Seems to be a bad test. American citizens left to join ISIS, American citizens have formed cults, American citizens have mailed bombs to people. If a Saudi Arabian prince plopped a Hublot into some random kid's hands and said "give me an email," do you think their patriotism would prevent it? I don't think so, actually, didn't the recent crypto scam involve 2 Americans?

What you're suggesting sounds like some kind of throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but even more nonsensical.

I think a better conclusion is that companies should architect with the assumption that there's a mole, not engage in some kind of border-control nationalist purge.
Honestly I don't care what conspiracy theorists, science illiterates, and racists think. Let them believe the world is against their points of view. It should be! I want to make sure the ignoramuses don't infect others.
When I do that, I can't get directions, though. It refers me to Bing, GMaps, HERE (the Nokia one), and OpenStreetMap.
Designing a Security Data Lake on AWS and Snowflake
That's not what I was implying at all. It's not about money. If a person learns to actually write software on their QA job, why would they not do it for a living? In most cases, it's a more satisfying job to have. The assumption I made was that if a QA person who also reviews code a lot becomes really good at the job, they are very likely to try and become a developer themselves.

I would stress the end part. Think now of what success is. "Success" means you are still making small margins, but your volume is increasing and you have outgrown your closet or garage, and probably need to sublease a space and hire someone part-time to accept deliveries from wholesalers and to ship items out. The leap to space rental and wages will probably flatten any margin you have to zero initially. The business is low margin, high volume, and niches where the margins are wide are usually narrowed over time, I know people doing this and it has happened in many fields. So consider what the likely course is now. It will mean years of growth but low margins and grinding.
Do we want city employees to live in the city ? Because unless your family bought a house in the 60s, you probably want to earn $150k to live in the city.
This has nothing to do with logic or rationality.
No one is capable of fact checking everything.
At best the rational choice is to not believe anyone. Which is exactly what most adversarial information actors want to achieve. When we lose trust, a lot of us are easier to control by gross power, the others just have no means of communicating coherently.
The data that Apple previously paid TomTom and others to use was certainly subpar compared to Google's data.

However, Apple started collecting their own data in 2015, and rolling out their own maps in 2018.

>Apple is filling its map with so many [details] that Google now looks empty in comparison and all of these details create the impression that Apple hasn’t just closed the gap with Google—but has, in many ways, exceeded it.

Apple's map data now covers the US and its territories and data for the UK and Ireland are currently in testing.

Hah. In the US, there are laws, but their effectiveness depends on enforcement. Additionally, there's an entire industry of employer-side law firms focused on union busting, who advise employers on how to do as much as possible without crossing the legal line or getting caught when doing so.
AWS is sold to software companies, are you suggesting they want to replace their customers with... themselves? If companies could profit from purchasing their own goods I think the world would be a very different place lol

I guess you could use that device to report telemetry from say an automated weather station. Spoken words can be probably propagated better over a noisy channel. Task an intern to listen to this every day & compile a report with the weather data inside and bam, daily weather report from an automated station. :)
> graphics/design work, 3d modelling, spreadsheets,

here I agree. these just don't work in the shell. but too many programs are gui-based which shouldn't be. a shell is the foundation for coding and the reason, so many non-tech people think of coding of some wizardry is the lost of the shell. Remember DOS and that .bat files. Latter were not more than some batched commands and eventually a program.

Stuff like settings, task manager, text editors, any kind of servers, should be text based. Everyone is 100x times faster skimming through VSCode's text based settings than Blender's preferences. I am not against GUIs but less of them.

This has been encouraged by test frameworks for more than a decade; see e.g. https://testing.googleblog.com/2008/07/tott-expect-vs-assert... .
If you architect each test to have a single assertion, yes, I agree it's essentially the same effect.
Wow are they supposed to be this emotionless when talking to pilots? Its amazing how calm they were even after hearing a person in jetpack.
Is this 6% of all USA-ians, or 6% of adults?

I don't expect most 10 year olds to have chequing accounts, and if we're talking about about all Americans I'm honestly surprised it's not higher, taking into account da yout, those who are mentally/physically infirm, and those folks who just don't trust banking.
The "I have nothing to hide" trope is patently false. We hide all the time - we hide our private parts under the clothing; in our dwellings, we hide ourselves behind blinds and curtains; we hide most of our thoughts by keeping them to ourselves. 99% of all information is hidden (and should stay that way).
> Decentralized systems also make controlling your data all but impossible. If I want to remove my data from Facebook, that's the only entity that I need to deal with and it's relatively easy for regulators to set sound policies in place. In your distributed system, once your data leaves your node, you've lost all control all of it forever.

That's already the case though. When I ask Facebook to delete my data they delete their copies of it. However, anyone who has downloaded photos, any advertisers who have scraped that data, any archival attempts, any search results, and a whole slew of other partial copies of that data still exist. It's almost better for data to be explicitly distributed to make it more obvious that it can't be easily removed.

Unions are probably the biggest threat to Amazon in the long term, as their interests are directly against Amazon, they'd rather there be 100 competitors they can buy out/drive out of business one at a time; then a single union who could easily shut them down (by striking)
> What I find quite surprising: The keyboard and output of the device mostly uses English words. A bit unexpected for a device developed in eastern Germany for use in the Soviet Union; I would rather have expected Russian there.

This isn't all that surprising, the Lingua Franca for electronics and software development in Eastern Germany was also English, not Russian (or rather a mix of German and English, with much more German than the "Denglish" that is used today, but for terms that didn't already have an established German word, the English word was used, and I guess it was much the same in the Soviet Union).

If you browse through East German vintage computer manuals, there's a lot of English used for "special terms" like "BREAK", "HOME", "ESCAPE" etc.

Additionally shipping is a separate service. If the product price includes margin for shipping, that's great for me when I return the item and get the full price refunded.

Otherwise once you pay separately for shipping and the item is delivered it's uncommon to refund any shipping costs if you return the item

It's wonderful that city employees make competitive salaries. I wish they were held accountable when they failed to do their job.
There's definitely a big entertainment component. I find these things very entertaining. I've also read several books on how to write a novel even though I have no interest in ever writing one. Why? I don't know.

If you've ever worked in retail, one of the first "training" videos they show you is an anti-union informational video.

One of the big points of the videos is to report union organizers to management ASAP.

This kind of training is extremely common for low wage jobs in the U.S. If almost all large retailers are doing it, it mustn't be illegal, or not enforced.
Not really. Google isn’t saddled with retirement entitlements. Also Googles employees generate some of the highest revenues per staff in the industry.

SF gets its revenues from its citizens via taxes. The employees don’t produce revenues themselves. They are cost centers. Cities by their nature, use regulatory capture to extract revenues.

If googles revenues go down they cut staff. Cities rarely cut staff in line with budget decreases.

I always wonder in these kinds of articles how many people are doing this. The problem is that it is so sensationalized, that it could be that there are 10 people doing this, and it's not really a big deal. Or it could be that 50% of the people doing this work, do this. For example, the article says that it reviewed photos and videos of phones near Whole Foods and Amazon delivery stations. Okay, so how many phones did they find? How many people do they have personal knowledge doing this?

I've noticed that a lot of news articles tend to take a few examples of something outrageous, but never say anything about how widespread the practice is. I find it hard to be outraged or care unless there is some quantification of the problem. In any system, people will find a way to cheat.

Amazon is aware and maybe they are working on a way to fix this, but it's not clear Amazon has had much time to figure out what to do. Even if you think Amazon is evil and doesn't care, it takes time to figure out how to defeat this. Maybe they won't care, but at least give them some time to respond.

Meh the 4 hour workweek is basically snake oil.

Yes, and if my job was to fill out paperwork and never Engineer, I could do my work in 4 hours a week.

Heck even if I paid some engineer in india, I'd still need to review their work, including learning the technologies and data sheets. I'm not sure how managers deal with this, just hope for the best?
"things you think are false" and "libelous" are, in the US, vastly different standards.
> Computers don’t do that by default

Absolutely, but it's where I find people get tripped up who aren't as used to tech. The thing I have told the computer to do is technically wrong in a minor way but it's extremely obvious to anyone that looks at it what I want. There are multiple reasons why we usually want this to be the case (simpler to implement, cost of returning an error is low but the cost of automatically doing the wrong thing can be huge, etc).

The rules aren't universal either. Some machines are fine with different casing, some aren't. Email addresses aren't case sensitive, typically, but my user name might be. Email addresses have to be exact, except with gmail where . isn't important, and anything after + is ignored. Google search from the omnibox will assume what it thinks you wanted to search for by default but urls entered in the same place are extremely picky.
The prices are minimal -- at CME I believe it's ~15k/month for a 52U cabinet. You can rent these even as a private individual (several friends have rented individual racks as part of a syndicate group renting the whole cab).

Of course, that price isn't insignificant per se, but are minimal for anyone who actually achieves any benefit from having co-located space.
