Yes, and this makes it even worse. I recently bought a Sonos. Deliberately chose the one without mic and Alexa. But Sonos are tracking the hell out of everything. Usage tracking on by default, and even their non opt-out-able “functional” tracking is just riddiculous. And that’s in a country covered by the GDPR and ePrivacy directive.

...so I’m clued enough to notice, care and able to block most of it. But my mum and so many others sadly aren’t.
Some amount of ride sharing works under arbitrarily unreasonable conditions. Making $1 is better than making $0. But it's not as good, for multiple parties, as the alternative where they make a million dollars, more drivers have work, more passengers can afford rides and the existing passengers (many of which are also lower income people) pay less for them.

The reason the word 'political' exists is that some things are very political and many things aren't. To be political in your example would be to base your decision to call an ambulance on whether the victim is wearing a maga hat or blm shirt. To be apolitical is to set aside your and their views of government and focus on the thing at hand that has very little to do with government, which is that someone is dying and you can save them with a phone call.
The (completely reasonable) alternative is to avoid a system that only works when there's permanent exponential growth in a finite world.

On top of that, growing GDP is different from improving average quality of life. If GDP goes up 10% by growing the population 20% through mass immigration, it's plausible quality of life will go down in aggregate. Why is GDP growth the right metric?
In my experience, the vast majority of employees don’t want their workplace to become a political battleground. Even those who occasionally discuss politics at work and are mature enough to behave like adults about it.

It’s tempting to think of this in terms of Democrats vs Republicans or right vs left, but that’s not really the domain of the most problematic employees. The most problematic employees are the ones who have given up on the notion of reasonable debate or disagreement and instead have become convinced that the other side is committing acts so terrible that fighting them at every juncture is the only acceptable thing to do. Strangely enough, the “other side” isn’t just far-right or fad-left people, it becomes centrists, or people who don’t vote, or people who don’t want to engage in politics at work.

When you’ve reached the point where a small handful of employees are fomenting outrage at their company for not putting a BLM statement on the company Twitter account, for example, the situation has arrived at a “with us or against us” false dichotomy.

Generally, the only way to win with politics at the office is to not play. However, when one side decides that not playing is equivalent to being evil, everyone is forced to play. When everyone is forced to play by a handful of disgruntled employees, everyone loses.

Paying to remove these people from a company makes a lot of sense. If you don’t do something to remove them, the people who are sick of being dragged into political debates at work will slowly diffuse out of the company. The hyper-political employees are a loud minority, but the people who just want to do their jobs and remain professional are very much more common. Don’t let the tail wag the dog.
Thank you, that does answer everything! I also see now after going through the readme again "Single-node clusters are possible and can be scaled up", so apologies for that question.
What I am thinking if you need to give internet to one rich guy in a remote area you use satellite, if you want to give internet to the entire village you use cell towers or cables.

If a large number of people in a village can afford satellite then I assume there will be a few companies (in a functional market) that will show up and drag a cable and offer you cheap TV,internet and mobile phone.

Cable will offer better speeds and include TV not like wireless so I am thinking wireless is a maybe initial workaround until the ISO will reach your location with their cables.

"Icelandic people will also turn nauseatingly nationalistic when interacting with outsiders, falling over themselves trying to offload as much local history, lore and what they perceive as local wisdom on life and work in an attempt to be elevated in the eyes of those they are talking to, when most times what is said is not grounded in reality or fact."

Well as Scot I don't think that behaviour is unique to Iceland! :-)
You can do that anywhere. Just don’t do it with a captive audience.

And the people most inclined to discuss politics in the work place tend to be the people who take it personally.
> There's no wide ranging cultural acceptance of sexually predatory behavior

Were that the case, there wouldn't be these kinds of cases where entire swaths of predators are being shielded (or ignored). It may not be openly discussed or acknowledged, but as they say, actions speak louder than words.

And, fwiw, there are female sexual predators as well; best to not ignore them.
Sure in some use cases it doesn't matter. In others (e.g. on an HPC cluster where you have a quota in your home directory measured in GB) it does. CoW won't help on GPFS or Lustre, probably. Arguably Python has no place in HPC but a lot of people use it. And on my laptop technically I have the space but I am loathe to give it up to duplicate various packages many times.
I agree with what you're saying on all points, but there's a different parallel discussion around safety and situational awareness that I believe the OP was referring to.

Essentially, sexual predators looking to abuse children will go wherever the children are, be that schools, churches, athletics, social media, online games, and so on. Additionally, certain situations have power dynamics weighted heavily in the direction of the adults, for instance coaches, doctors, pastors, etc, and those dynamics make it far easier for abusers to avoid detection, avoid being reported if caught, and generally maintain their abuse.

Knowing those two facts makes it far easier to avoid abusive situations or properly handle them if they arise. This doesn't mean that you avoid all situations entirely, but a parent may choose to make judgement calls about certain situations, people, or activities based on those facts.

Again, I fully agree that the blame falls on the abusers and not the victims, but that's separate from being situationally aware.

Are you seriously suggesting that we keep our daughters out of fashion, academics, sports, and movies as that is the only way to keep them from being raped?

> Do not ever put your daughter in a situation where she can be pressured by older men to do what they want in order to advance

Are you also suggesting that we don't let her work at a FAANG company? Many of us are 'pressured' by older men to advance, if you extend 'pressured' to mean 'doing the job that you've been hired for.
Many complex/difficult to understand TS types exist precisely because the type system was too limited to express certain real world use cases without workarounds. As the type system takes on that complexity, and removes more limitations, it actually makes writing simpler types for those cases much easier.

>There's no wide ranging cultural acceptance of sexually predatory behavior

If that's true, why do both major candidates for president in the US have histories of sexually predatory behavior which gets very little press and hasn't resulted in them being removed from their respective offices?

It is very much so culturally accepted, particularly in the US. Look at male protagonists' behavior toward women in popular film and TV, like the big bang theory, blade runner, etc. Maybe that cultural acceptance is in the process of changing, but there are loud voices speaking up against that change as well.
On the flip side, the FBI had to (probably) decap chips to get into that one shooter’s iPhone, which is pretty good security IMO.

I think it boils down to whether your primary orientation is live/jam or home-studio/finished-songwriting.

Teenage Engineering's stuff makes me imagine visceral live shows with lots of space for free form, improvised content-- up to & including a whole new growing subculture of kids being able to instantly make piping fresh, context appropriate art anywhere from the living room to the campfire.

Tweaking instruments and song parts iteratively over days & weeks to get an ideal finished product is really a whole different thing. The more big gear you can bring to that effort the better. I also second your advice on second-hand music equipment, most of my stuff over the years was acquired that way and it definitely gave me more opportunities than problems.
Comprehensive guide on handling long lines in Emacs
Hi HN, I've been working on this tool for the last couple of months, and I feel like you guys might appreciate it.

I love OpenSCAD, but it's showing it's age. So I decided to build a luxury version with VS Code's Editor (with Intellisense!) and a WebAssembly-port of OpenCASCADE (the same BREP CAD Kernel in FreeCAD and CadQuery). Everything is client-side, from the model compilation to the deflate-encoded shareable URLs. You can even install the editor to your computer (or even Chromebook!)

Given the recent news from Autodesk making everyone skittish about the future mobility of their .STEP files, I figure that CascadeStudio can provide another place for people to edit and share their 3D Models and BREP designs.

Thanks for taking a look!

The bit about Clever is completely baffling. My school district issued a Chromebook to every student and had a perfectly seamless SSO story until one day they inexplicably decided to adopt Clever. Now they have an abundance of malfunction and are constantly emailing parents to clear browser cookies or undertake other workarounds. The only explanation for this is that school districts are poorly advised on software and IT topics. If they had any decent advisors at all they would have steered clear of this Clever junk.

There is as long as the solution is "keep women away from sexual predators" instead of "keep sexual predators away from women". Keeping girls away from competitive sports is yet another example of "boys will be boys".

I don't think that demonstrates that at all, but even assuming it did: when they do so, they get diabolical gas mileage.

Top Gear did an amusing test where they had a Toyota Prius drive flat out around a track, with a BMW M3 (a larger, heavier sports sedan) keeping pace with it.

Over the course of the test, the Prius returned 14.3 miles per gallon; and the BMW M3 achieved 16.1 - despite the fact the BMW has a 4 liter turbocharged, six cylinder engine vs. the Prius 1.5 liter, four cylinder.
> If you're not being paid enough to live on 40 hours a week, you're underpaid.

This is perhaps a core disagreement, which is wroth digging into. I'm willing to engage with this idea but the disagreement area is critical here.

First, what it means to "live on 40 hours a week" is highly variable from person to person, is it not? If you agree, shouldn't we then avoid making broad judgments based on that concept? I suggest that we leave such judgments to the employee and leave it on him to make decisions on those details.

Second, supposing that an individual decides he doesn't earn enough: isn't is better to rely on him to investigate what he can do to address the situation? There are many things that can be done to address the situation from working more hours, to changing jobs, to taking on training for a new job for example. Isn't this preferable?
And to you does human trafficking indict the private sector in the same manner or not?

We can elect legislators who are opposed to abuses like Guantanamo Bay and campaign on fixing it.

Yeah... DAB can be good, if the station chooses to transmit at a higher bit rate (which can range from 64kbit mono to 192kbit stereo at least), and signal strength is unfortunately a significant factor.

In the UK, the BBC stations tend to be pretty solid, the commercial stations can be somewhat bad, although a lot of the commercial music stations seem to have shifted to DAB+ (predominantly 40 kbit/s DAB+ Stereo HE-AAC v2 apparently - presumably to fit more stations in, ~10 on the BBC ensemble vs ~20 on the commercial "National 1" ensemble).[1]

A small liberal arts college (<1600 people) in California. While it's very well regarded in academic circles, within the general public you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who recognizes it unless they're affiliated in some way.

I only bring this up to push back against the common idea on this forum that you need to be Ivy/Stanford/MIT/Caltech to get into a top FAANG or consulting job or law/medical program -- first careers like these were the rule at my school, not the exception. And many were hired with one of those "useless" liberal arts degrees rather than a degree in the specific field they went in to.
That's valuable, thanks for sharing.

I would also be very interested in knowing more about how the parents of those noble-prize winners, renowned academics, and award winning authors raised them :)

Taking a non binary position is still a position. Ignoring the divisive nature of political discourse doesn't keep one from having to deal with the political and economic reality that it's creating for everyone. Crypto itself is fairly heavily married to libertarian politics which most now see as the gateway to the unfairness->nihilism dialogue being promoted by the right as a cover for their political machinations.

Crypto is also very capable of moving huge amounts of money from hostile foreign nations to disruptive factions anywhere in the world. Claiming libertarian alliances could be an easy cover for those kinds of activities. That whole space has been a cesspool.
This is a great look at the aftermath of a management fad. Too often these management trends - like bleeding edge technologies - reach a certain point in the hype cycle and become a way for new managers to make their mark on an unwitting organisation.

As an individual contributor, the level of adoption of any management technic and/or philosophy is a great signal for how conscientious the management team is. Although fads come and go, they do tend to have applicable lessons, and it is good management that is able to filter out what is fit-for-purpose vs just cargo cult-ing and parroting whatever they read in a blog post.

I find it interesting that while developers have to memorise patterns, algorithms, and essentially prove base knowledge, that the same level of academic rigour is rarely applied to managers.

Managers can jump on the Spotify Model without appreciating that it's just a rebrand, or to be generous - tech-centric remix, of matrix/cross-functional team structures; thus missing out on understanding when such an approach would be useful and the support that is needed to make such an organisational structure work.
It’s very brave if you, in the middle of a pandemic, to say that “sick days are private and have no impact on society at large.”

You must have missed March and April when sick days at “essential work” (such as grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, and more) was in fact a matter of national conversation: sick people going to work spread disease. The number of sick days was also of debate: most low wage jobs don’t offer more than 1 sick day a month or two. Not so good when someone needs two weeks off.

This kind of short sightedness and inherent support of the status quo as “it’s fine, I see no problem here” is exactly what the other commenter(s) are talking about.
> "discouraging employees from thinking about politics, and encouraging them to focus on profit-making".

It's not what the post is saying. It's saying that they will focus on building a team with a focused mission, not an environment where politics create division.

There is no need to assume that everyone is equally good at things, or puts in the same effort. Some people are much better than others at many things, and yet luck is the biggest determinant of success.

That being said, it doesn't mean that one shouldn't hone their skills and try to be successful. It's just that it's not likely that you will have such meteoric success no matter the skill or effort you put in.

Luck doesn't just play a significant factor, luck almost always plays the biggest factor. But being skillful and putting in effort is the only thing you can change and definitely does help too.

My wife and I agreed to be rigorously honest with our daughter. When "Santa" came up I was initially very uncomfortable with the lie.

After discussing it with my wife we opted to go on with the lie under the conditions that it not be used for any kind of negative reinforcement-- none of the "Santa is watching you..." kind of stuff-- and that the "reveal" needed to be handled appropriately.

When she does deduce the lie the plan is to explain to her as such:

- It's a tradition that is passed down to bring joy to children. It allows parents to give gifts in a way that carries no expectation of thanks or praise.

- She is now in on the "secret". It's her responsibility to guard the secret the same way her parents did before her. She knows what joy it brought to her and she shouldn't spoil that joy for others.

- We do not lie to her, as a rule. We took this very seriously and thought hard about it. We decided the joy it would bring to her, and to the people she might one day be "Santa" for, was worth betraying her trust in this case.

I still don't feel great about it, but I can live w/ myself.

The little girl is 7 right now. She has said stuff like "I think Santa is really you and Mom". She also questions that conclusion, though, because because she says, effectively, that she doesn't have evidence for it. (I need talk about about Occam's razor and the idea that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence... >smile<)
