It wasn't obvious to me how to login to delete my account since I didn't ever create one. For those who don't use social media, there's a "login with LinkedIn" button above the email and password on the login form. I am blind to these buttons because I don't have any type of account that allows this usually. (I didn't even know LinkedIn offered it.)

Also, the workflow was utterly bizarre for me running on macOS Catalina in Safari. I clicked on "Login with LinkedIn" and it opened a smaller window with no address bar and asked for my LinkedIn credentials. I entered them and it loaded LinkedIn in this small window. Was it supposed to go to SlideShare? I went back to the SlideShare window and reloaded, but I still wasn't logged in, despite what others here have reported. I had to go back to the login page, do the whole thing again, then reload, and finally I was actually logged in. Very very bad UX.
I recently worked for a company where a different popular JSON document database was in fact forced down my throat.

I proved that a regular database would be orders of magnitude faster with a real example on real data and while the project/product was canceled for marketing/sales reasons. Until it was canceled we were told by multiple levels of "technical" managers to use the worse database because of unknown reasons.
People hate TurboTax because Intuit spends obscene amounts of money lobbying to keep the tax code complicated so they have a market.
I may have a meagre business and live in a meagre world but would never hire a single person who subscribes to linkedin nor participates in their blatant games. It's the most ridiculous HR wetdream and yet some seem to have no problem playing along.

Lay your own beds with that stuff. It's only a matter of time before you'll live in shame for what comes out and probably write woeful blogposts about how fooled you were and now so enlightened never again to repeat such clear mistakes.

Having self-worth really isn't that hard. Selling yourself and all your friends for pennies is incredibly easy though, which is what is happening here.

Please keep digging those graves. The internet never forgets, nor forgives. The internet is forever, make no mistake.

They were hiking in the mountains during a heatwave with already a few fires nearby. The takeaway is "don't be stupid" but I doubt they learned their lesson, because their particular situation was pretty low-key.

If you've read my other posts, and several others around here, then I think you'll see a consistent theme. That is, for anarchism to work, you need people to simply "all get along".

You do. You really, honestly do.

All of the methods which anarchists list to deal with rapists, murderers, or even just a guy that stands up and says "OK, the 10 of us have decided we're going to form a democratic government, and you're all part of it", don't seem to hold water.

For example, that last one. You live in a community with 100 people, under anarchism. Those 10 stand up. They state that they run the place. They have guns. Now what? And what if that number is 40 out of 60?

I've heard "shunning", "banishment", and I've heard "hired guns". I've also heard of "local police power", yet that involves government, in that, you need to pay and organize and on and on and on. And all your concerns leak therein.

I think you need to be honest with yourself. The "old ways" you speak of, are pretty much accepted by people 10 to 100. If you think that "most people under (what?) 30? 40? 25? believe in anarchism, you are sadly mistaken.

And there is a reason for that.

I've listed them, others have, but all you care to espouse is that "I don't like the current governmental system" and "we'll just handle it without organized government".
Let's skip "useful" and just go with projects that earn money for the person that invested in it. Then that person earns more and can hire 2 more devs or 3. When project fails devs have to search for new jobs and investor is probably not going to spend his money as easy again.

There's a large circular economy with ad buyers, marketing/PR firms, ad-tech, and ad networks going on where a large amount of fraud is overlooked/ignored because everyone's jobs and ad budgets depend on ignoring it.
>perhaps everything between California and Oklahoma = Midwest

If you're right and that's the definition some people use, I'm not surprised they're confused. Considering I see most people using "midwest" referring to places like Ohio and Michigan.

I've always preferred "Great Plains" when trying to describe my general location to folks online. You say "I live in the midwest" and everyone seems to assume you're in Ohio or Indiana or thereabouts. Nope, I'm in South Dakota. America's a big place, y'all. The middle of Colorado is where I draw the line - west of there you're not Midwest or Great Plains, you're in The West.

Sounds like this person is bad at advertising and marketing, and looking to blame anyone but themselves.

My guess is the content of the ad was poorly paired with the landing page. For what it's worth, I ran a LinkedIn campaign, had a $10 CPC with about a 40% conversion rate from a click to lead.

Also that sure is a lot of "conclusions" to make very little data.
Puppet raised $40M last month in debt.
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/puppet-labs/company_...

In total over 12 years, Chef raised around 105M and puppet raised around 189M in funding.

They're both doing pretty bad in the end and are on a (steep?) downward trend. They'll never be a billion dollar business. They probably won't recoup their valuation. Chef sold out. Puppet tries to survive.

From my perspective Chef users were actively fleeing so I guess it was sold for scrap, puppet might be downward but maybe not as steep so maybe puppet is trying to continue to operate as a small medium company. Also Puppet might be a fairly harder sell because it has both a higher valuation and debt, doesn't look like a great buying opportunity.
Dump as much as you can into self-replication as your goal here is more probes. And be careful letting it run in the background... you need to keep the drifters at bay, and they get progressively harder. Until you get over 20 max trust, you’ll probably have to be moving points back and forth between combat and replication. If they overpower you it can be a long slog to recover your numbers.
You can still get sunburn with darker skin. It just takes a lot more exposure.
I got my first tech job later in life, as well. I’m now in a similar position as you, except that I don’t think I’ll be trying for principle/staff level for another couple years yet.

I definitely feel like I’m able to bring significant value, and I’m on a team where almost half of us have masters degrees in CS, while I have just a BA in math and a couple years clocked in grad school (math again).

I tell you what, though: I live for those times when I can make something work easily because I’m able to leverage my math background. It certainly makes understanding recursion fairly easy (many math definitions are recursive), and my graph theory courses help on occasion. I was once even able to help solve a problem that involved calculating the area of a general polygon specified by coordinates, which nobody on the team at the time really knew how to approach.
" According to Ernst & Young survey, more than 30% of the Fortune Global 200 companies have worked with HTP residents.

Why would anyone want to restrict the reader in this way?
Their goal is absolutely to drive down cost. Right now they're battery-constrained, so it would not make sense to sell them to third parties. If Tesla can only sell a given number of cars, it makes financial sense to sell them at a higher price. The extra revenue serves to build more factories and grow faster. As production keeps scaling, average selling prices will keep going down. If they'd attempted to start with a $25K car, they'd producing no cars today.
> I once worked with a guy who had strong opinions during code review and changed them often (usually after reading blog). I hated working with him.

> With people who have strong opinions and stick to them you can at least learn their opinions and adapt or fight once. If they change every week, you have to fight or adapt constantly. Last week you need to use x syntax wherever possible, this week you must not use it. And big deal about difference each time.

If they are constantly changing their opinions back and forth based on whatever blog they read most recently, those aren't strong opinions weakly held. They're just weak opinions, strongly advocated (or strongly enforced, depending on your co-worker's authority).

Also, if they are privileging opinionated blog posts over the arguments of their colleagues, the solution is simple: start a blog.
I assume this is a pre-cursor for Google getting approved for classified cloud computing for government work, like Azure and AWS have.
Ashoka never turned pacifist. He got converted in 4th year of his reign and Kalinga war was waged in his 8th year. He waged wars and prosecuted Jains and Ajivikas. Sources are Buddhist text Mahavamsa and Divyavadana so should be considered accurate.

Before Islamic invasion started, Hindu India had a rich history of religious tolerance with Ashoka as an exception yet he finds place in our history books and other great kings don't. Some example of tolerance from an era when killing people for their faith was normal in rest of the world.

When Zoroastrians were prosecuted in Persia by Islam, they found refuge in India. Today's India's biggest conglomerate TATA Group is run by a Zoroastrianian family.[1]

When a ship full of prosecuted Polish Jews Children touched the shores of Gujarat after refused entry by many state as they feared Nazis. Maharaj Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja took them in. Some of those kids are still alive.[2]

I guess the advantage over a dog is that, should it indeed have a detectable effect, and a sufficiently noticeable one, one could fly a drone (even, perhaps, a Global Hawk; I don't know how precise the pictures it takes are), and just scan huge swaths of forest at once, much faster than one could with even a hundred dogs.

But that's a lot of ifs.
Is there a study that has measure how much vitamin D a person can get from sunlight within some timeframe/hour of the day/place on earth?

I use DigitalOcean to host and deliver web apps. You can get a "VPS" (virtual private server) for as low as $5 a month, which is probably less than you can run a server from home on a Raspberry Pi.

Another option is to create a disk image for a Raspberry Pi that has your web apps installed and let them download it or purchase an SD card from you so they can run the app on their own Raspberry Pi.
Well, you don't need a monopoly on battery storage do you? Besides the fact that no other company has demonstrated the ability to actually install a battery system in the way that Tesla has, the monopoly comes with the total integration of the hardware, services, AND software to effectively allocate prices. I don't see any other company really competing in this space. Are there any that you can think of?

> But they'd really need to capture the whole high end market, if not more high end market than actually exists, to justify their prices.

Why? They can probably effectively sell Tesla Model 3 style sedans at BMW or better margins around $35,000. I don't think they need to capture the high-end market anymore than Apple does. Sure, insert famous person here uses an iPhone, but so do I and so does my grandma.
Here's an easy one: APD has been credibly accused of systematically harassing police abolition and other leftist activists. It is well established that they were (somewhat openly) cooperating with an armed militia group during the recent civil unrest, closely related to a group who's member would shoot a protester several days later with suspicious motivations.

If you don't trust the police department not to abuse information to intimidate their critics, which we don't, you don't want them to have this kind of unmonitored, unregulated access to private intelligence.
Being that LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, they are a public company.

2nd line of my post

Describing it as "prevent disease in healthy adults" means pretty much nothing. Which diseases? Does being Vit D deficient count as healthy? It's an empty statement.
I agree with Orwell more on the motivation behind tyranny:

"No one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."
In a way, that would just be a return to before the second industrial revolution, when popular music and consumer products were more more regionalised. "Everyone in the world, or even the country listens to the same thing and drinks the same cola" is a recent phenomenon, and arguably not that valuable a phenomenon.

In practice, though, I'm sure there's quite a bit of sharing musical tastes between friend and interest groups; it wouldn't be literally everyone listening to different things.

I would wonder does increasing consumer choice ultimately erode generational identity a bit, though. So much of the "what is a boomer/gen X/millenial" is founded in what popular culture everyone was consuming in a given decade.
Would they? It's my understanding that premodern conquerors were quite open about the fact that their primary goal was acquiring wealth and glory rather than optimizing the world.
My experience is that you can often find low hanging fruit, relatively easy changes that will have high impact. For example, I've created checklists for some of the processes that we do often, especially when it involves coordinating with a customer. Creating the initial version maybe required a few hours, but since then has been used 100's of times to shave 1-2 weeks off of work and reduce errors/surprises.

Another example is really basic automation. You probably have people/teams around you that are not developers. They probably are spending time doing really basic repetitive tasks. One team I work with regularly would take a spreadsheet, then for each row create a folder and docs in Google Drive. I wrote them a Google Apps script that could do the task with a click. Not quite as impactful as the checklists, but each script like that saves someone a couple days a year.
I hear you, but often times in B2B advertising, your target audiences are going to be small. How would you suggest assessing the success/failure of your ad campaigns if it's an order of magnitude less than your 50k threshold?
From China to US... surveillance-free?
The contrary is equally plausible: that we might dismiss a scientifically-justified generalization about a group of people as a stereotype.

Conclusions should take additional care, but populations are different in important ways.
You need to invest much more in self replication. You’re not getting anywhere because you’re not growing your numbers.
You can inspect all their source code. They also publish schematics and x-ray images of their phone.
I think it's also that health has become a product, which is skewing all the solutions into things that are easy to market, package, and distribute. You probably need sunlight in addition to foods with other nutrients to optimize systems that regulate Vitamin D levels, whether it's just a marker or not.

Just like they discovered using cannabinoids to treat seizures required the "full spectrum" of the plant to be the most effective, we are finding out the hard way that trying to isolate compounds to treat anything in a biological system is often the wrong approach.

It's been 20 years since "the only thing more effective is regular exercise" was a punchline on the Simpsons. It's disappointing that we are still prioritizing R&D for magic pills rather than getting fresh food and physical activity reintegrated into our lives.
While not plug and play portable, I was able to migrate my entire stack from gke to a bare metal k3s in about a day. Considering the alternatives, I'd say that's rather portable.
All of the most common Emacs movement keys work in VS Code (^n, ^p, ^a, ^e, etc.).

I see what you're saying about Emacs's modes, but understand that that's a different meaning of "modes" than people common use when talking about editors. By the definition you gave, I couldn't really think of _any_ editor that's not modal in some way.
- Helped push for a shift in invoicing hourly to daily/weekly and then to "flat-rate for the whole team every month"

- Organized a professional development group to promote book clubs, meetups, etc within the company

- Helped marketing/sales folks update web pages to fix errors or "generic business language"

- Encourage and lead efforts to use off-the-shelf tools instead of homegrown internal tools

- Took meeting notes for all-hands meetings and published them internally

- Build relationships with non-technical staff so that you can later give them feedback about processes they control

These are some things I've done over 10 years at my company, so it's a long process!

I've observed that the ability to win a debate is often orthogonal to the ability to write good software. Both as an individual contributor and as a manager I've tried to avoid the use of debating as a decision-making tool.
Yes, adding vitamin D increases vitamin D.
I am definitely one that loves a good "get off my lawn" moment, but it seems like we rehash this point every few weeks (and I don't even read frontend twitter). There is a reason we are where we are in the front end world -- most every useful tool/wave of engineering came to be for a reason. A (very spotty) timeline[0] was even submitted in the not too distant past to HN, and I won't go into it here, but from jquery to mootools to snowpack/vite, people built tools to solve problems (some of which don't exist anymore or won't in the near future) -- a strong grasp of fundamentals and knowledge of why a thing exists and you will feel a lot less like you're being thrown around by the waves of frontend development zeitgeist.

All that said -- SSR is the best of both worlds. To the untrained eye, it looks like a step backwards, but there's more to it than that -- it gives separation (if you want it) for your frontend code that usually moves at a different pace than the backend code, server-side rendering for performance (obviously), and complex client side functionality for building rich experiences. If you can withstand the increase in complexity, you can mostly have your cake and eat it too -- server-side rendered robust client applications.

Even for the most stalwart monolith enthusiast, isn't it nice to make it relatively difficult for your View code to call some Model/Controller/util method/function that it shouldn't be calling? If you go through the trouble of committing to separating your "API" and your "frontend server" (there's a trendy name for this which I have forgotten -- "companion" server? BFF?[1]), you get better focused and hopefully more manageable domains.

All that said, portals are a pretty cool new feature, but I'm not going to hold my breath for them to be ready to use any time soon.
