> supposing that an individual decides he doesn't earn enough

All forms of safety nets require the consideration of a reasonable floor. I mean if someone feels public transport is beneath them, well tough, but have a warm safe place to sleep with a locked door and fridge seems reasonable. Of course, in time the floor will rise.

> 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,

People shouldn't have to spend all their time working, even if they have no worthwhile skills. Just because someone has no economic value doesn't mean they don't have human value. They should still have a life.

> to changing jobs, to taking on training for a new job for example.

Those require money and time, not easily obtained. Also, the people who need it most are those with the least amount of access to it.

> Isn't this preferable?

This is personal question, but I say no. Even if you don't agree, then maybe you'll agree with this "The best reason to feed the barbarians at the gate is to keep them out of your gate". Law & order is a democracy, and when enough people decide that the current order doesn't benefit them, it ends.
Business opportunity for home device for use by mere mortals, e.g. smartphone UI to data on local NAS. ANT can sync automatically when within range.
Assets that don't increase in value are "losing money", per economic theory. Homes are a low interest money sink. You can buy a home, hold it and get a decent return on your money.
You can also mortgage the home at low interest, and gamble that money for higher interest in stocks, etc. You can use rental income to offset your mortgage costs.

This is a perfect storm for pushing up costs and denying lower income Americans the ability to pay rent and buy homes.

Yes, that was my point. It's 48 hours vs 70 hours. It's not a crunch.

On a related note, most white collar professionals work 50 hour weeks. Every week.
Because I read the thread? How many times do you want me to repeat myself? They're talking about the specific case of not logging in for log access, but that is partially justified by the wider desire to never have people log in at all. You can separate them but the original conversation didn't.
Loved this episode!

The ending with GT was great, where he talked about the importance of maintaining a growth mindset in the startup and tech ecosystem, so that more startups can be built in the future.

It's something that you see in podcasting, vlogging, and comedy, where people help each other out, rather than compete with a self-serving mindset of "winner take all"

It was great to hear Garry spread the message of wanting to help others, from both a VC and company-building standpoint
My first compiler bug was in my first year at Google. I'd just introduced a new system for the animation that updates your position while driving in Google Maps. It was perfectly buttery smooth as planned, except on my manager's commute the next day, where it constantly lurched back and forth. The others on the team were convinced that it had to be something with my code, but I didn't think it could be, because my code had no conditional statements and should either always be right or always be wrong.

It kind of looked like it was being fed nonsense speed values, so I got the GPS log from my manager and checked - but no weird speed values, actually a remarkably clean GPS log. Replayed his GPS on my phone - worked perfectly fine, buttery smooth. Eventually it came out that it only happened on my manager's phone. Borrowing said phone and narrowing things down with printf, I showed that my core animation function was being called with the correct values (a, b, c, d) but was being run with the wrong ones (a, a, c d). This is when my manager thought to mention that he was running the latest internal alpha preview of Android.

Searching Android's bug tracker for JIT bugs, I found that they had a known register aliasing bug. Honestly I have no idea how it ran well enough to get to my code in the first place. But I tagged my weird animation bug as related to that (they didn't really believe me) and ignored it until they fixed their thing, at which point it went away.

Certainly beats me, but I think it helped that for both parents this WAS really their source of income (teaching and writing), and that they had gotten to the point that doing this stuff was also their way to cope with the stress of daily life. Like, with cooking, everyone was involved, or when they'd watch a movie, it was a family affair with a healthy amount of commentary or analysis. It's hard to explain, but its as if everyone was always "thinking", and they all had fun doing it.

And it may also sound almost obnoxious by just describing it this way, but it truly felt almost joyous around them. It's like they made it super fun to ask questions, think about things, explore creative endeavors...
I feel like for the technically minded, static site generators are pretty popular. For people that just want to write, things like Wordpress are still popular (because there is nothing to maintain).

Using it mostly out of necessity (a project I'm involved in uses it for communication), but I'm mostly enthusiastic about no longer having that annoying Matrixbot - there were always a number of Matrix users, and the implementation was incredibly confusing.

It's a nice bonus that I'll no longer be dependent on Gitter's somewhat buggy Web UI.

(That said, I am somewhat sceptical about whether we'll see any reasonable results in a reasonable amount of time - GitLab promised Gitter rooms for GitLab projects as well when they acquired it, and I'm not even sure if that ever saw the light of day.)

Also false. Many fair minded people simply don’t have time to concern themselves with politics.

I'm not talking about cleanliness. I'm talking about the fact that most items fall apart and new items are so cheap that used items are getting less and less desirable. There's been articles on here about the way the used clothing industry has imploded over the last decade. There might still be some thrift shop usage, but the longer tail that allowed retailers to offload the majority of donations is disappearing.
Or they are old enough to have had exactly the experience they describe. I am 64 and was never taught any formal grammar in primary school except in French lessons and then in Latin from 1st form to 4th form.

The problem is that people can't have political discussion without taking things personally. Many people thought that the James Damore memo was objective, but other people found it offensive. In the end, neither side really "won" and in the end, it just made the work environment more toxic. Even if you believe that Damore is sexist, people like him are inevitably going to exist at a company of hundreds of thousands, so it's best if everyone stayed quiet.
I make up outrageous stuff all the time and will only come clean after some pressuring from the kids. Either it's worked wonders or my 6-year old is just a natural because she takes nothing for granted!

Her teacher tried to show her that it's ok to make mistakes because it's a natural part of learning. She said "Look at your little brother; he can't walk yet but he's trying and trying and falling all the time. But eventually all those falls will have taught him to walk!"

My daughter considered it, then looked her teacher in the eye and replied "we don't know that yet".

Not sure if I am reading it wrong, but I'm not sure the data is correct (at least for some non Cloudflare sites) example:

https://radar.cloudflare.com/domain/just-eat.co.uk

The leading UK food delivery company, for popularity I'm not sure if a higher or lower number means more popular - but to me it looks like the site has more traffic on a weekday than a weekend. And also most traffic comes from Australia, where this site wouldn't even work.

Is this just bots, or bad data?
That doesn't handle strings like

foo=1&foo=2&foo=3&blah=a&blah=b&foo=4

correctly. You'd expect

foo=1,2,3,4&blah=a,b

but get

foo=1,2,3&blah=a,b&foo=4

I don't think it's possible to solve this just using a single search/replace.
This is pedantic, but Knative and Cloud Run aren't quite the same thing.

Knative is the "serverless" (bit a weird term in this context) eventing/serving framework, and Cloud Run is a managed Knative service.

You can self-host/install Knative to your k8s cluster and the experience you end up with is pretty PaaS-ey.

Element is probably harder to use than Signal for less technically inclined users.

There are some other matrix clients, like Pattle, which hide much of the complexity and give a more familiar UX to other messaging apps.
This is a very personal topic, for the people that are being "political".

Claiming you no longer care about this, after becoming a naturalized citizen, is a prime example of the "I have mine" philosophy. You would not be able to quit a company while on an immigrant visa, to protest your company's problematic workings. This is not a fair view, and you know that.
How is this data collected? I can see how they would be able to get statistics from clients hitting CloudFlare servers, but how can they report on the traffic hitting google.com or microsoft.com?
It seems to me like one consequence of your argument is that “encouraging innovation” is dangerous because Apple might innovate in a bad way.

Is this meant to be a good faith steel-man of my argument?

> I never want to be in the position where I consciously lie to my son, so Santa Claus is very clearly a story.

I find this interesting: do you believe there is something intrinsically bad in the lies?

Normally, I would think they lead to lack of trust, but I don't seem to remember children losing trust in their parents when they discovered _they_ are really Santa Claus.

I mean, it seems to me that not all un-truths are created equal.
> Is the problem actually "free?"

It's not. Paying to avoid advertising (which is the precursor to the modern "paying to avoid total surveillance") has been a thought-terminating marketing cliché since the days that "pay TV" was being introduced in the 60s. At this point, as you say, it just serves to blame the surveilled for the surveillance.

People using a free service make a lower-quality advertising target than people using a paid service, and people using a less-expensive service are a lower-quality advertising target than people using a more expensive service.

I really like to use IRC on the terminal via Irssi.

Can Irssi be used to access this matrix thing?

If not, is there some nice matrix command line client in the Debian repos?

Or maybe someone could just make an IRC server which is a bridge to matrix?
I slightly regret leaving the writeup of this bug to my old employer, but it was a spectacularly hard to identify one.

Windows (including CE) has a crash detection system called "structured exception handling". You can use this to route segfaults to either "try/catch" (don't) or "__try/__except" special handlers. We had one of these to log the error and show a crash screen. It worked fine on the desktop. It worked fine on the MIPS systems. On ARM systems, it sometimes didn't work. At these times, the debugger didn't work properly either.

I eventually found the kernel stack unwind code (with WinCE you get some, but not all, of the kernel source). For some reason this was looking at the jump instructions on the way down, and the particular problem was virtual method calls were implemented as "LDA pc, [r3]" after computing the target vtable location in r3.

r3 is in the "clobberable" set of registers in the ARM calling convention, so if it got overwritten lower down the call stack the unwind handler would read the wrong value and fail to follow the stack.

Fortunately it turns out there were two different versions of the ARM compiler, shipped in different toolkits by Microsoft (why? who knows) and using the other one didn't trigger the bug.

We checked the known-good compiler into source control and kept it there as critical build infrastructure.

This is whole thing about whether drivers should be full-time employees is so overthought.

If Uber and Lyft are set on not paying the drivers full time, just cap the hours a driver can have at 20 per week.

That will fix mostly everything.

- It solves Uber/Lyft problems because they won't have to pay for benefits.

- It solves the government's problems because they don't have to worry about full-time workers being taken advantage of.

- It solves civilian problems because it make the roads less congested.

Travel agents can't do much when the airlines are - at best - confused by what's happening. And at worst they're acting in bad faith to continue receiving income for flights which might exist but probably won't - either because of sudden restrictions, or because the flight will be >80% empty and an unviable loss.

So they'll take the money to shore up revenue and cash flow, and then customers can fight their way through their systems to get it back when the flight is cancelled. All manner of hilarity ensues. (Unless you're one of those waiting - now literally numbering millions in Europe - then it's not funny at all.)

Personally I'm not going to trust any airline with a flight booking until there's something resembling a reliable service again.
Netflix’s Cheer celebrity Jerry Harris was arrested for producing child pornography involving young cheerleaders, with complaints about him seemingly ignored by the main cheer governing body.

Complaints of all kind probably go unheard because Varsity knows they're the only game in town. Of course sexual predators wouldn't "just go away", but that's not a reasonable expectation to have, but it is reasonable to expect companies to not ignore such complaints. Without a monopoly, for example, you can apply pressure on Varsity to do something about complaints by going with Nike next time or by getting Nike to do something about it.

I think the article does a good job of explaining this...
"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"

What's somewhat ironic about the "monopolies lead to absentee landlords" theory is that competition can sometimes have exactly the same effect, if the difference in quality isn't immediately obvious to the consumer.

Imagine this story instead: There are two companies, A and B, which are competing (among other things) for gyms to sign up with them. Company A requires extensive background checks, inspections, and lots of other things to make sure their programs are free of sexual predators. These are effective, but are expensive and invasive, and gyms really don't like them. Company B is far more lax; and so gyms start to go over to Company B. A is forced to lower their standards in order to continue competing.

Yes, in theory A could try to advertise that they're safer; but suppose (hypothetically) that the economics makes it infeasible to advertise directly to the end-consumers, leaving gyms to do it; and gyms as we've seen have a short-term advantage to just going with the lower standards and not mentioning that particular difference in their advertising.
