>Religion and ethics is not more fundamental than logic yet philosophy places them side by side as peers.

See, this is what I was talking about before, you're speaking of 'philosophy' as though it's one big thing and there's a unified perspective there.

I don't think that anyone in their right mind would argue that ethics are as fundamentally true as logic any more than they would argue that a scientific theory is more proven than a mathematical proof.

You just attacked a strawman, is my point. That was my point before, too. Philosophy is the exploration of perspectives, it isn't a single thing. It's an action. Just like science.

Do you have sales figures on this claim?

I'm primarily a full stack developer, with a few years of experience designing and developing APIs that get consumed by single-page applications. I'm happy doing this, but I would also be happy moving towards a more backend-focused role.

My primary areas of focus are the financial, geospatial, and logistics industries.

> Do you think that reducing the amount of syntax-errors via a powerful structured-editor would help reduce the syntax burden?

Truthfully, no. It would resolve syntax errors for sure, but I think there's something inherit to actually interacting and fixing mistakes that can't be replicated with technology. If you think about learning a second language, having an automatic translator will help you speak to other people, but you would not actually know the language. Not attempting to invoke Turing's Chinese Room, but rather there is a educational need to make mistakes, identify them, and resolve them that helps.

"The fashion company with seat in Hamburg operates a service center in Nuremberg. Here, according to the findings of the Hamburg data protection officer, since at least 2014 private life circumstances of some of the employees have been comprehensively recorded and this information stored on a network drive. For example, the company conducted a "Welcome Back Talk" after employees returned to work after vacation or illness. The information that became known in this context - including information on the symptoms of illness and diagnoses of the employees - was recorded and stored. In addition, according to the Hamburg data protection authority, some supervisors also used the "Flurfunk" [meaning to hear something through the grapevine] to acquire a broad knowledge of individual employees, for example about family problems and religious beliefs. The information stored on the network drive was accessible to up to 50 managers of the company and was used, among other things, to evaluate the work performance of the employees and to make employment decisions.The data collection became known due to a technical configuration error in October 2019, according to which the data stored on the network drive was accessible company-wide for several hours. After the violation became known, the management apologized to the employees and offered monetary compensation. In addition, also further protective measures were introduced together with the data protection authority. [Note: Concrete legal basis of the fine not yet published - we assume this will mainly be Art. 5 and 6 GDPR]"

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-russia-chemicalwe...

Which basically says NATO countries have possible antidotes and can easily detect Novichok, not that they produce the nerve agent. (que surprised Pikachu Putin when Britain detected it almost immediately)

This is ignoring the insanity of NATO poisoning a guy that may bring genuine democracy to Russia.

[12] is even more dubious as it links to papers that describe methods to detect nerve agents in environments...

(even though I don't like Iran, it's doubtful they would produce Russian nerve agent instead of a variant of their own, they still want to detect it if they go to war with Russia for some reason)

The other option you mentioned - anti-Putin Oligarch makes even less sense... you think private individuals can synthesize nerve agent or steal it?, that's a really dangerous supposition.
My Canon 70D is also not great ~10. I can see it when I look at my friends low light Sony pictures taken in same settings, it's noticeable.
Actually, the victims in this case were offered monetary compensation by the company. Likely, if they want to they can sue for more than that with this judgment in hand.

The state does more injustice in the name of "fairness" than almost any other agent for any ther reason.

I have to say "almost" as there is the very rare criminal who is actually mean and targets people the way the state does.

This was exactly why I left my lucrative property and casualty insurance CSR job a few years ago despite making 26.00/ an hour. I was a CSR who while newly licensed, was also forced to do rote busy work for my superior instead of stretching my legs with billings and developing my own book of business, and really getting to know the claims process on my end.

I was expected to sit all day at my desk sans bathroom / coffee breaks, and never deviate from the set list of tasks to deal with re: mailing, endorsements to policies, follow-ups on mortgagee changes, etc. But when they finally let me attempt to do billings, I didn't truly understand the process after months of being forced to do mindless shit work, and of course messed something up.

And then when you fail one time, they justified further restricting you despite the "issue" being A.) instantly fixable, B.) not dealing with much money in policies (such as misc. articles), and C.) Never being pushed or expected to perform on your own by your own boss, who at this point was more interested in me organizing their decades old folders of policies to be digitally scanned.

When I was told I would need another designation (CISR) to be "taken seriously", which would've involved another year of classes in addition to busy work, I said fuck all of that and went back to college within a years time.

As a few others have pointed out I'm not sure I buy the privacy argument here (although there is very little to go on on the linked page..)

Having your phone radio on at all (even without a SIM, e.g. E911 calls) is inherently privacy violating. If you must have connectivity on the go, any prepaid SIM + always on VPN will do the trick. Use Twilio if you want multiple numbers.

$99/mo is ludicrous, even if this actually works, which I have doubts about given the history of purism.
You can use Lynx, Elinks, an Emacs browser, etc. There are other options.
> If the judicial system determines that the appropriate punishment for a crime is X years, then at the end of that time they should be given a chance at a fresh start.

This is a poor argument: the judicial system has also determined, by lack of prohibition, that it's appropriate for employers to discriminate based on criminal record.
None of those sound necessarily like a full time job. They could just as well be 3 projects from 1 job.

To add to what zasgar mentioned, I just wanted to point out that our instrumentation-free approach does apply to JVM and Node/Python applications for many of the traces we gather. For example, we use EBPF to trace protocols like HTTP as the data passes through the kernel. By gathering the data in the kernel, these EBPF tracers are completely language agnostic.
That's a pretty ridiculous statement. Workers that are paid massive salaries in the likes of SF & NYC is because the cost of living in those cities justify it.

So you're on 150k in SF say, you move to, I don't know some small city in Texas, you get 20k to move, you make 135k a year and your cost of living has probably dropped by 70%. That doesn't sound like a "scumbaggish" move to me. That sounds like a company trying to entice it's employees to get out of the crazy expensive cities.
I think the point a lot of people miss is that the trick to understanding the 3-door question and the 1000000-door question is the same trick. If you don't grok the trick, the 1000000-door example might make it easier to grok, but there's a fair chance it won't.

To muddy the waters further, it's not always understood that in the 1000000-door case, 999998 other doors are opened (as evidenced by discussion elsewhere in these threads). Sometimes people think it's still just one door. I suspect this is because the original problem is usually stated as "...Monty Hall then opens one of the doors you didn't pick" and because people suggesting the 1000000-door often just say "...what if there were one million doors?"
> but bad for workers. $20k could easily be eaten up just on moving expenses

That's the point of the $20k, to cover the move. The deal is to keep your job at 90% of your salary while potentially living in a place that is only 75% (or less) of the cost of living as SF/NY. Get yourself a nice big place, some indoor/outdoor breathing room, etc.
Regarding portability, I recently came across this project: https://github.com/spawnfest/bakeware

I haven’t gotten around to actually trying it myself, but it advertises that it can compile Elixir projects into a single binary you can copy, paste & run (on Linux & MacOS). It’s not the greatest solution, and the mentioned ~0.5s startup time doesn’t make it great for cli tools when compared to Go/Rust/C.

I’m mostly just happy to see there are people out there trying to make Elixir/Erlang easier to use, as much as I love the language, some of the tooling and deployment methods (releases) make me groan.
Personal/anecectotal, but totally.

In my experience you will more likely see it if you are in a shop that is paying below market. I.e. Devs there make 10k less than other local shops.

We wound up with some interesting folks. Got to see what someone going through methadone withdrawals looks like. On the other hand, a few people got some really meaningful second chances at a career there.
> They specifically state "naturally"

The whole thing is in the context of farming. I really do think you're reading things into the text that aren't there...

> Burning these things releases CO2 into the air

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the author's point. The author's point is that burning these fuels in the typical home-heating setup that obtained throughout history produces nasty particulate emissions that are quite hazardous to health, and that using modern natural gas or electricity for heating does not have that problem. The key words here are "unrefined" and "solid", which is where your particulates come from.

Yes, burning them releases CO2 as well, but that's the least of your problems with this sort of burn-chunks-of-random-stuff-for-heat setup.

> You can easily stop this pest problem by understanding what nutrients your
> different plants need and then planting mixes appropriately

I would love to see a reference for this. I can see a mitigation for pests in the sense that you have multiple food crops being grown at once, so if one of them fails it's not a complete disaster. But to _stop_ the pest problem in the sense of having it not affect yields at all seems like it would require quite wide separation between individual plants of a given type, to prevent spread. Again, I would love to see more details here.

> could you imagine the amount of work trying to harvest different plants that are all mixed up?

Yes, having done it on a small scale.

> specifically you should read the one straw revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka.

Thank you, I will take a look.

> In contrast to the monoculture the author is advocating for

I think the author is observing, not advocating. He's pretty interested in how we can improve our practices of all sorts in general, and would probably appreciate pointers for further reading, I suspect.
I think you're overreacting. If you're making, say, $400k in total comp at Stripe in San Francisco (which doesn't seem unreasonable[0]), you could move somewhere with drastically lower cost of living for a cut of only $40k a year. There aren't very many opportunities to live wherever you want and make $360k, period, so it's still likely a net win for the employees.

I wonder about cultural differences here. Ethnic/national jokes used to be very common in the workplace, but in the last few decades have become increasingly taboo. However, I don't think that change has happened to the same extent in all countries. I think in English-speaking countries (and especially so in North America) it has happened to a much greater extent than in many non-English speaking countries. To assume that all workplaces globally adopt the standards of your workplace, or workplaces in your country, is itself a failure to be aware of cultural diversity.

One thing about these kind of jokes, is they vary a lot in how much prejudice they encode. For example, there is a stereotype in Australian culture of the "whingeing pom", the person from England who always complains, and there is a tradition of jokes based on that stereotype. Does that mean the English are oppressed in Australia, or that Australians hate English people? Or is it more like when you gently tease your friends and family? (To use an Americanism, "joshing"). It is not like the English recipients of this kind of teasing don't have plenty of comebacks – jokes about Australians being all descended from criminals, etc. (See also [1].) I think there is a big difference between those kinds of gentle jokes which don't really encode any significant degree of racial/ethnic prejudice, and other sorts of jokes that do – it depends a lot on who is making the joke, which group is the target, and the nature and history of the relationship between the joke-teller's group and the target group.

Regardless of all that, I wouldn't tell those kinds of jokes in a work environment – some people are likely to be offended, and causing offence isn't worth it. (Plus I rarely tell jokes of any sort, since telling jokes has never been my strong suit). But if other workplaces, in other countries, have different cultures in which those kinds of jokes are more acceptable, I'm not going to judge those cultures negatively because of it, and try to exhibit enough cultural sensitivity to realise that cultures like that exist, and I'm not going to say that my culture is superior to theirs.

(You also mentioned the gendered aspect of the jokes; I would expect that attitudes towards gendered jokes and how they are experienced also vary from culture to culture – and that women experience them differently in different cultures, and even individual women may experience them differently in the same culture – but I don't feel like I know enough about that whole issue to say more than that.)

It'll never happen, because no one cares and we can't do anything about it anyway.

More defeatism.

We should all just roll over and play dead because we are all going to die, no one cares, and there's nothing we can do about it anyway, right?

NO! We all have an effect on everything and every problem is ours to solve.

Even if that means just talking about it. Raising awareness. Creating ideas. Pointing out the flaws in our reasoning and direction. Opportunities for improvement.

Talking about climate change raises awareness. Grassroots initiatives matter. Our voice matters. Talking matters. Writing matters.

Dismissing good ideas with defeatism discourages people from even mentioning ideas that might change or society for the better.

The fear of backlash alone causes damage. It silences good ideas before they even leave the mind.

Do you think governments have some kind of magical money well? Every cent they spend has to be paid by someone and if no one is earning how are they going to pay taxes?

Besides obviously if everyone is in lockdown, how are you going to buy food in a closed store with empty shelves? Do you think the government can just write a law and bread appears? People actually have to do a lot of work to make it.

A flat 10% cut rather than a dynamic COL adjustment?

Some people could definitely make that work. A move to a no income tax state with low COL could come out very ahead. Of course, the career implications could be more negative than it’s worth, but there’s a reason why back office / administrative / operations staff tend to be easier to move to a different state relative to technical talent, which is more densely concentrated in fewer regions.
