I use a Sennheiser HME 26-II. I like it because the quality is very good (headphones and microphone), it's comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and the second ear cup can be flipped back off the ear. Sennheiser makes a number of models designed for day-long wear, the models made for air traffic controllers are in my opinion also good in this regard.
Smartphones will not work as others have pointed out. Even convincing people to keep something running on their laptop for part of the day won't give good reliability.

The issue here is that the company HAD a political mission, and decided to change that. Some employees may have joined specifically because of the company's politics and now they can leave.

Church and state are separate because you don't get to choose your birth citizenship. But you do get to choose where you you seek employment. As long as the company is upfront about their politics when you take the job, it's up to you to decide to work there. ie, don't take a job at a christian bookstore if you aren't christian

I love everything Teenage Engineering make. My first impression is always "eh, that's too weird, who would want that... who is their target market?", and over time end up at "OK, I WANT ONE!". I own way too many of their Pocket Operators now.

Though, I REALLY think I'm not their target market here: "designed to be played outdoors, in public spaces and at high volume"... that's exactly situations I now try to avoid. Hmm, unless I have it playing "GET OFF MY LAWN" on a loop?

Competing with FAANGs is a losing game, and probably not relevant for 98% of technology roles. I would highly recommend that you pick a few key senior engineers and compensate them well via paid time off and salary. When you have major problems this will be the group of technologists that will fix it for you.

For your mid-tier to junior technologists look for individuals that are trying to transfer into tech roles and don't have alot of experience BUT can demonstrate real ownership of problems in whatever business they were previously in.

For mid/jr level people one of the most important things you can provide is a clear path that shows your company is willing to invest training in your software & common industry tools.

As for finding them: check out your local technology meetup groups (online or in person), look for recommendations from your social network, check about posting opportunities with local universities/colleges.

I think people too readily assume that these people are blue, but you have to remember that academia (and tech in general) tends to have strong social pressure to either be blue or hide your political beliefs. There is likely a very large contingent of closet republicans.

>> the travel agency is in a far stronger negotiating position to fix any issues.

Maybe, but that assumes that the travel agent is actually working for you. What kickbacks does the agency get from the airline/hotel? That is the longer term relationship, far longer than any one-time customer-agent relationship. The agency would probably rather drop or mistreat a customer than damage their relationship with the airline/hotel.

how do you handle drivers who drive for multiple companies at once?

IF you're classified as an employee, your employer can legally prohibit moonlighting. Enforcing this is not a problem unique to ride sharing apps, so it might be worth looking into how this is handled elsewhere. However, if an employer treats their employees well enough, their workers are less likely to seek outside employment.

Everyone else finds the idea of a forced battle, which is what you said entails, to be the beginnings of authoritarianism (or bullying if taken at an individual level).
I studied computer science at a state university. It is fully accredited, but otherwise has very little prestige.

Maybe 25% of the students in the program were there to learn how to make video games. They weren’t there to get a job in making video games. They weren’t there because there is money in making video games. They were there because they wanted to know enough about computer programming to make video games, and everyone had ideas about what type of game they wanted to make.
It's not an ideal long-term architecture, sure. It'd be better to have website search, discovery and routing possible without routing tricks.

Take a step back here, what are the widespread human rights abuses? Very few people are against human rights, that would be truly uncontroversial. The issue seems to be when what are labeled as human rights aren't actually human rights, or they are bundled together with divisive add-ons or an overall political stance.

Where I work there is plenty of differing opinion on politics but professionalism, respect and empathy have kept us pretty much whole. I think the problems of divisiveness are enhanced by remote working as the comradery gained by being at work in person is lost and that is essential in helping soak up bad feelings. Anyhow just my 2 cents.

And by the way - the political stuff never is about anything that Google does. I haven't seen any tax law, anti-trust, or privacy protests at Google.

The photo of the Starlink CPE in Malden, WA is not what it appears at first glance. Somebody from the WA EMD put it on top of the generator at the Ziply (local ILEC) CO, which was not burned, and remained online with a fiber link to the rest of Whitman county.

Ziply is the entity known as Northwest Fiber which recently acquired all of the WA, OR, ID ILEC assets of Frontier. The territory which are formerly GTE.

https://twitter.com/thesheetztweetz/status/13109751475332710...

Quite honestly it looks to me like a PR stunt. Ziply was already offering a free hotspot of wifi services from the location before somebody showed up and took a photo of the starlink CPE.
It still means something specific. It's an extrapolation of the transistor density. The design rules on state of the art processes are too complex to summarize with a simple single number like in days past, so this is a reasonable way to describe things. The argument that they're purely meaningless marketing numbers is just tired empty smugness. When we talk about TSMC 7nm everyone knows what that means and that it is indeed a significant advance over the prior nodes. The numbers capture the advantage in rough terms, as best you can.

All entities including businesses commonly make tradeoffs between competing values. I am unaware how Coinbase plan to do this.

Outside the mission, it sounds like Coinbase won't factor these matters beyond the usual legal/reputation, the same as the majority of businesses.

Governments are best placed to guide prosocial behaviour.
Right, and what I'm saying is that there can be an upside to increased social pressure to conform to social norms (also known as being polite) which is suggested by social cooling. I'm also saying that it's not equivalent to government-imposed social credit.
I think getting a conviction is going to be the main issue given current us antitrust laws.
It's not necessarily tautological because of how fluid the language/dialect distinction itself is, and often related to politics. The treatment of Latgalian as a Latvian dialect is certainly at least somewhat political, there's a case to be made for it being a different language.

But for a counter-example, take the Scandinavian languages. They're always treated as different languages, even though they're highly mutually intelligible. Then there are the Czech and Slovak languages, extremely similar but not considered dialects.

> not let your political views affect what you do

That's a political stance. As long as you're part of society, you'll always have a political stance. That's what the other commentor was getting at.

Why would you ever want your views to not influence what you do? If not yours, whose perception would you use to inform what you do? And why would you want to keep your views private?

If you think that your views are so inappropriate or unimportant that you can't share them, that's a view in of itself and that's what people will see.

> You do not try to change anyone else's political views as part of your job

Whether you should try to actively change someone's view is a big question. It's a very different question than whether or not you should have/share your worldview. Whether you like it or not, your views are what they are because of others sharing theirs (explicitly or implicitly).

I will offer a personal take on keeping politics out of my 1-man video game company.

In theory, I am all for it. I do not use hashtags on twitter, or openly support any ideologies.

However, as a light brown dude whose parents immigrated here to Canada, my existence itself is a political statement (in support of legal immigration) that is bound to offend people.

I try, to the extent that is possible, to not say political statements on twitter, but I am only human. And for many humans, existing itself is a political statement.

I sometimes feel like a platypus.
There are plenty of taxonomist that want me dead.
There are plenty of well intentioned people that will protest for me to keep my rights to exist while never getting close to me.

And all I wanna do is keep platypusing every day. It's just hard to do that in deeply divisive times, I guess.
LLVM undef does not mean "undefined behavior", it means that it's OK to transform any use of it into the use of an arbitrary value (potentially different, unless the freeze instruction is used).

To get undefined behavior, you need to do something like use the unreachable instruction, or call a noreturn function that does in fact return. You may also have "poison values", which trigger undefined behavior on certain uses.
You clearly aren't aware of the existence of traditional geostationary-based VSAT terminals/modems/equipment, all of which already fit those grossly misunderstood and uninformed use cases.

Trust me, if there's one thing the DoD is really good at, it's spending money on launching its own satellites and buying commercial C/Ku/Ka band transponder capacity from third parties.

Really rich people don't need starlink. Traditional earth station equipment for dedicated 1:1 capacity, two way satellite already exists.

Also o3b already exists. By the scale of money of the sort of person who buys a large private island with a staff, the hardware cost of an o3b terminal is a tiny rounding error.
> For example, can you be a gun shop owner without being pro-gun? Some would say actions speak louder than words.

That's a false dichotomy. There are multiple stances on guns besides "guns should be completely unregulated" and "civilians shouldn't be allowed to own guns".

Working at a gun shop is, for example, very compatible with the notion that people should be subject to buying background checks before being able to buy a gun. After all, it's the brick-and-mortar gun shops who have to abide by background checks; the more these shops dominate the market, the smaller the market will be for gun shows where such background checks aren't required.
> The view you just described is active support for the status quo. [..] fossil fuels and co2 emissions to keep our economy running.

So there's really no difference between doing nothing, and donating to FUD campaigns against climate science? They're both equally active in their support for fossil fuels, both equally "apolitical"? Or have you diluted the term "apolitical" to the point of meaninglessness, if it can describe such wildly different behavior?

Would you describe yourself as "actively supporting" Kony (or some other, similar warlord)?
For the record, I am pro sustainable fishing, sustainable foresty, tackling climate change, and eliminating malaria.

I think governments and dedicated organisations are best placed to do this: they can better enforce compliance, and have greater visibility on all of our pressing needs.
This is goalpost moving that has nothing to do with the original point. If people misunderstand the conditions of the problem, that has nothing to do with intuitions about probability.

> I don't fully grasp what privacy is

> people like me find it hard to quantify what that thing is

Privacy is [REDACTED]. Intelligence is not privacy.

Recently I cleaned some olde books I don't need anymore and there were a bunch of them on info security, so I skimmed them good bye, and they all stated the same vague definitions like no one knows what privacy is, there's no agreement, etc.

Actually there're definitions of privacy and intel, they are just sad and unethical, hush shush.
So this is where I also struggle with Cicero. He was overly political, very worried about his own image, flip-flopped sides as suited him and was easily persuaded with gifts of status.

But we remember him for his philosophies and writings (or his summaries of other’s philosophy for the more cynical), which did seem to have a impact on future generations.

On one hand, all men fall short of their ideal. But do you really think character qualities such as Cicero’s erase the positive influence he might have had despite them over the longer term?

I struggle with this and it’s a genuine question. On reading his biography I was put off on the man himself more or less, while at the same time his words seem to inspire.
A lot of what we believe to be true is based on trust rather than in-depth understanding and verification. This is not a failing of people. Even the most educated person can only have so much understanding. We must use proxies such as credibility to determine who to trust.

This reminds me of the time that I discover a discrepancy of facts about when variolation was discovered. One source said 11th century, and the other is 15th century. Which is true? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to ascertain the truth of the matter, for I am not a historian and don't possess infinite time for fact verifications. I was only able to do the most superficial of fact checking, seeing if the sources agree with each other and that was time consuming enough.
I had heard that they drop that line when they sing it now. False rumor?
The competition has just done a lot of catching up in the last few years.

Hardware: Other vendors have trackpads with multi-touch (which for me was one of the most amazing things about the first Macbook I ever owned), super high-res screens, and other such features these days. The form factors are thin and stylish as well (there are other aluminum unibody laptops these days).

Software: MacOS has gotten worse, Linux distros have continued to catch up, both in the look and behavior of the OS itself but also in terms of the app ecosystem, esp with companies like Valve spending the big bucks to get lots of games running well on Linux. Speaking of games, MacOS continues to suck when it comes to gaming anyway – so for example I do a bit of gaming on my new MBP 16" and the mild chore of dual-booting continues to irk me. I also splashed out for the 8GB GPU upgrade and performance is still not great. Not quite enough for me to make the switch but I'm not a very hardcore gamer. I know people that need a workhorse a bit more than I do (professional video editors and such) who have recently (last 5 years) made the switch from macbooks to things like razers because they want to be able to really push through serious workloads on the go.
So I guess we're just going to lay back and accept that Comcast and other awful ISPs are going to rule over our access forever? Just completely shit on anything that attempts to improve the situation?

Additionally, there's nothing stopping several people from connecting to the same satellite dish that connects to Starlink. Yes there are bandwidth limitations, but for grandmas checking Facebook and emails you could have hundreds of people on a single satellite dish. This is still a huge improvement for millions of people.

It is easy, but obviously more effort than remaining quiet.
But owning a gun shop would by its very nature makes you pro-gun from a conflict of interest standpoint. Your very livelihood would require that the laws stay lax. It might even require that you actively advocate against any proposed legislation that might damage your business. To remain apolitical or even anti-gun would be failing your duties to your family, employees, and shareholders (if you have any) to grow and sustain the business and keep them fed, housed, employed, and paid.
