Another tool that seems quite heavily focused around making the simplest possible cases look snappy and simple. The simple cases aren't the problem. And when it comes to the complex cases, I have much more faith in the extensibility and power of Nix, which is designed as an actual real programming language to give users the power to solve problems the designers had never envisioned for themselves, than HCL, which seems to be arbitrarily restricted and half-thought-out at the best of times.

I practically never use Glassdoor, but if you are looking for reviews that was one way to do it.

Its just when you are bouncing between startups and 12 big tech companies, you already know what to expect.

So, this is very tech industry specific post, but we all know that Amazon is most likely going to be a problem, and you won't be able to get a review on your manager/team. Its very easy to narrow down.

Do Google employees realize how disgustingly evil their customer service is? Forget their free services for a second: you can even be spending big bucks with them every month and be randomly blocked by algorithm with no human recourse.
I understand that Google can’t feasibly provide free tech support for the entire Internet as they’d probably have to have a million employees just answering phones and emails all day long.
What they need to do is find some number (whether it’s $5, $25, $50, or more I have no idea) where they can charge for real customer service. Businesses get shut down and people lose their jobs because of some ad issue they can never find a way to get a solvable problem resolved. It’s sick that Google has gotten away with this for so long.
You take a piece of art, and proceed to destroy it.

It's a violent act. It doesn't mean that you are a bad person, but it is similar enough for a model.

If your cloud function is running in say East Asia and your Redis instance is nearby, it will be much faster than querying your DB in Virginia.
> ...and you still get ripped off on cartridges.

Yep, it's cheaper to buy a new crappy printer from, say, Fry's Electronics than it is to buy refill cartridges for the last crappy printer you bought that ran out of ink.
The OP is claiming that. It is the purpose of their most recent tweets.

What I'm saying is there shouldn't be outrage until we figure out that the OP isn't lying, which there seems like there is reasonable doubt for. Because for very evil circumstances I wouldn't expect there to be transparency either for legal reasons.
That's exactly the point. There's a long tail where electric assist bikes and transit aren't ideal options, which is exactly the market where Cruise is trying to fit.

Personally, I did use ride shares, but there was enough need for me that the math worked out for personal ownership.
Last I checked, creative cloud isn't truly offline first. How many times have I opened Illustrator on an airplane, only for the creative cloud to completely block opening my local application till I don't sign in onto the cloud (mostly to verify if I paid for my subscription this month). That's not what an offline first software should look like.
I would suggest that the government does not directly fund existing OSS development, unless it's using said OSS and wants to buy development of a particular feature

I would suggest that the government reimbursed 80% of small contributions, e.g. below $300 a year per project, and matched larger contributions, e.g. up to $3000 a year per project.

As always, when an influx of free money is involved, cunning criminals would try to siphon it out without producing useful software. This is why I would limit such contributions to small amount per individual contributor.

It makes really easy for a large enough group of fans fund a popular project for free, and double their larger contributions, without the government choosing the projects. It also would still require spending money, or just effort, to donate, so donating just for kicks is limited.
This is different though, his husband can't get the records himself.
Totally agree. I've got my ticket and I wouldn't do it unless I actually lived on an airpark with a hangar at my house, and I'd have to get my instrument rating to be able to rely on it for commuting.
If you're routinely having problems with how everyone else is acting it's probably not them.

There are many things drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do that are not in accordance with the official rules but are expected and accepted. If you don't expect and accept your local variation of whatever these exceptions are you are going to have a very bad time. There is a predictable pattern to how traffic works. Being caught up on the letter of the law will results in you poorly communicating with all the other traffic around you which increases the frequency of conflicts. They way you walk or drive in Boston is different than the way you walk or drive in SF and neither of them adheres strictly to the official rules and markings.
I was under the impression - not having studied much about Jaynes' theory - that it is a well-regarded but falsified theory. That being said, what you describe sounds like an amazing premise for a novel.

The first thing I think of with microk8s is their available addons, which are fairly comprehensive, opinionated, "just works" solutions for microk8s. https://microk8s.io/docs/addons#heading--list

As a k3s user (for local dev & my very small personal prod envs), I end up having to assemble a lot of these solutions myself. I prefer my own picks, my own solutions, and learning, but microk8s having these instantly available would be really good for a lot of folks. Until now though it has never felt like those advantages would be useful in a real prod environment, that microk8s was not interested in being in prod, but HA signals to me that they are interested in broader adoption.
Honestly, this reminds me of the case of the rating agencies during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis[1] (with rating agencies rating CDOs of "junk" loans as now magically AAA)[2]. Practically speaking, these rating agencies were incentivized by the firms paying them for the ratings to rate -- and now a la Yelp and Glassdoor can be added to that list...

If I had voted in the last election, I would have voted for Trump, just to hopefully have a more naked emporer. Lifelong politicians such as Biden and Obama, to me, are much more dangerous. People actually fall for their bullshit.

Babylon 5 is also a useful oddball because so much of its plan versus reality was documented on USENET or in interviews as they happened. As they say "no plan survives contact with the enemy" and in this case the enemies of any 5 year TV plan are numerous, and included among other things network notes, network switches, cast contract negotiation problems, cast health problems, and more. JMS made it very clear he had to have a ton of contingencies in his five year plan and the show had to carry out a number of them.

It's also an oddball because even JMS hasn't been able to replicate it with nearly the same degree of success. B5 follow-up Crusade was pitched with a 3-5 year plan and barely survived a half season. (Supposedly B5: Legend of the Rangers was pitched as a 5 year plan including cleaning up Crusade plot-lines at least "sideways" and that barely got a pilot movie.) Sense8 was pitched to Netflix (appropriate to consider for this overall thread) as a 5 year plan and got 2 seasons and wrap-up movie (though seemingly had a lot fewer contingency problems than B5's early seasons in the 2 seasons and a movie that it did get).
At risk of being downvoted for not bringing much to the discussion, but holy shit.

If there is any individual guilt here, I don't think that would free you from it.

Though I'm not very convinced of the individual guilt angle. It's a systemic problem of incentives (lack of good ones).
My account at ads.google.com is suspended because of suspicious payments. I never did any payments.

Running a government is also a challenging endeavor. Does that mean that the laws should be left obscure?
I wonder if things would change if the os updates were handled by a different vendor, i.e. a model where the phone makers sold hardware and os vendors sold installs/updates? Maybe if the motivations of phone makers were decoupled from the os vendors, then phones could be supported a while longer due to the os vendors desire to improve their profit?

Question about quantum entanglement theory
What are the possible observations of an experiment using quantum entanglement experienced one on Earth and the other at the horizon of a black hole?
Still: is it possible that the quantum entanglement channels are likely - susceptible - to be bottled?
ahh, i read that as the other way around. hah
At least here in the UK, phone numbers are generally network specific - including mobile numbers. Companies don't just reassign ownership, the original owner of the number has to actively forward calls. This causes some issues when a provider goes out of business and Ofcom or whoever have to call around and ask nicely for someone to take on forwarding for their number ranges. (There's talk about fixing this with a big central database, but I don't think it's come to fruition yet.)
Human failure models are already impossible to predict, but the impact of those failures are fairly easy to predict. Which is why there is so much pedestrian safety built into so many cities. You don’t need to know why that car is plowing full-speed into a pedestrian-filled NYC sidewalk (terrorism, medical emergency, human error, etc) because no matter what those failures are prevented the same way: giant blocks of concrete making it impossible for a car to get onto the sidewalk. Likewise with driving too fast, driving too slow, failing to stop, stopping unnecessarily, etc.

Any way an AI-driven car can fail, humans have been failing in the same way for a hundred years. Cars, by virtue of their incredibly limited mobility, can only fail in so many different ways. It’s not like a Tesla with autopilot can suddenly jump over barriers or drive sideways.
Thanks coolgeek :)
It's all a matter of how wrong you want to be, and what information you want to use for deduction. If you see a humanoid approaching you, do you start with "that is a human (99.99% certainty)" or "that is a man or woman (98% certainty)"? I can see the use in the latter, but only here when quantified and compared to more generic alternatives.

I assume that you know about the facts that some humans have fewer than two arms, and some humans have not just fewer than five, but also sometimes more than five fingers [0]. In what way, then, do you hope to show that the facile versions aren't wrong? I think that what you're saying is that it is quite common for human genetics to plan for people to have two arms and five fingers. But it's not universal. We must distinguish between the two, because every time we make a universal claim about humans, we implicitly exclude the humans who aren't covered by the claim. Indeed, intersex folk, polydactyls, amputees, and folks with Down syndrome are all marginalized in our society, and all via this same mechanism of minimization and normalization.

On personal attacks: I've only lost karma in this thread and I'm going to continue losing it; I'm not sure by what means you could imagine that I'm effectively winning.

This is nice, thanks for pointing it out. It's a shame though you can't export to something like S3.
I see your point.

I don't remember when I needed to print anything for a bank or the tax office. Certainly not the last 10 years. That probably highly depends on the country. And I did not have any big transactions like buying a house during the last 10 years.

I don't even own crypto currency. Amongst other reasons I don't want to worry in my private life what can go wrong with shitty IT...

The question really is, should you trust presumably a lot of closed source software while printing on internet-connected systems at home? Or even unmaintained open source software. Or open source software that you have not studied. Yeah, I can see some risks, but overall my local library is not known for their cybercriminality skills. So as long as I make sure that I delete my sensitive files ASAP after printing I would not be overly worried.

If I print at work, I at least definitely know that there are several people on the same local network / with admin rights that would have skills to do evil. So even that could be considered risky. But still I do print stuff there (rarely, but it happens) that I would not be comfortable to share.
I would highly recommend the video linked from this article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m05abdGSOxY

It's a simulation of the various ways in which the Starlink network could be arranged to route between satellites and ground stations; very detailed and super interesting.
I think they were just offering advice to that particular person. I even forgot there was a 'not interested' option. I just keep good company on YT I guess.

Not necessarily. The court would have to specifically include that in their ruling.
As a student on Canvas this year and Sakai last year (and Blackboard before that), I can tell you that Canvas is atrocious and easily the worst of the bunch.

Just so I'm not making an empty comment, here are a few quick complaints:

- Confusing differences between calendar vs module views that differ from class to class depending on where the professor tries to put things

- Zoom is shunned to its own tab rather than integrated with the calendar, causing students to constantly ask each other for the password for every session

- Everything (tests, midterms, homework assignments) is called a quiz, and it's often unclear what is going to be graded or what allows multiple submissions until it's too late

- Notification settings are terrible and most people stick with the settings they set in the first week, meaning some of my classmates are just now realizing they've been missing announcements or grade postings

- If I get an email that a teacher has released grades, I have to go to Canvas to open it - and sometimes it's not even true

- Notification counts are ignored because they appear even on things I've already seen but just not clicked on from the "home" view

- Replies to my own discussion posts are mixed in with replies to everyone else's posts, meaning no real discussion is had
Have you considered that showing up to a thread and saying everyone else is too stupid to understand whatever you’re trying to share, then being surprised that your comment goes over poorly, seems like the real manifestation of ignorance?

In any case, don’t do this here. If you have something to say, be straightforward about it and don’t insult your readers.

I have inherited C++ "class spaghetti" code, which was - in fact -- easier to read the disassembled compiled code than the source code. Because the compiler was often able to prove and inline what actually gets called -- making the code logical (and relatively easy to follow) whereas the source code was abstract nonsense.

"spaghetti hierarchy", common in C++ and even more so in Java, is in my opinion and experience, much worse than "spaghetti code" of the old Basic/Fortran and very-early-C days -- the old "goto" spaghetti was hard to follow, but at least every goto named a concrete target. In a spaghetti hierarchy, execution jumps every 2 lines (with actual actions sparsely sprinkled among those lines), but to determine where it goes - you have to keep track of which class/subclass every object was actually instantiated in, and what methods that class/subclass overrides.
The article mentions they got a permit from the California DMV, so if you want answers to those questions I would start with the agency that issued the permit.
Interesting. You’d definitely have some crash detection. A remote human operator could be assigned to take over when the car stops to drive around some obstacle in an unexpected situation. If a crash happened (whether or not it was remote controlled), you could have speakers/cameras/microphones allow the operator to communicate with bystanders until help arrives. Police would need to be called for a major accident, while for a fender bender you can probably just send a car with some security people to pay off the other driver and get them to sign an NDA, and drive the crashed car back to base.

It's a well known fact that Glassdoor is a PR machine for companies.

The bigger problem here is not really about the content, but the means. If all e-mail communication goes through Gmail (and maybe a bit via Outlook and some remnants of Yahoo), at some point you may lose your ability to communicate with the rest of the population unless you subscribe to one of these services. This is already happening to some degree but is definitely getting worse.

Very much agree that we enthusiasts can be overly positive about 3d printing, but I also underestimated the 'cool factor' until I got one.

It's just really fun to model a part and then use a slicer and print it in real plastic, at least for me. It has motivated me to learn about CAD, and has been an opportunity to solve some interesting mechanical problems.

Using the 3d printer is not usually practical for me, but it is a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot along the way.
I had a small website few years ago and I placed Google Ads on it. After few weeks my Google Ads account got banned forever (no appeal available) for fraudulent clicks. There is no way to reverse this ban. I am 100% sure I didn't click on my own ads. I guess someone could easily do some suspicious activity on your ads (or just extract your Ads ID from Android APK) and then get your account banned. Fortunately, they only blocked me from Google Ads for life, but not from the rest of the account. Also - never ever open a Google Play developer account with your personal Google email. Create a new one for this.

In my opinion, the important takeaway is that their actions completely undermine the integrity of the service they are claiming to provide.

Whatever you'd like to call it, it's scummy behavior and they deserve to lose any market share they've gained by misleading users about their service.

The tough thing is that most software products you use are actively maintained and updated. That costs them money each month, so they pass those costs to you.

It would be great if we could see more software sold as-is, without updates. But, especially in the world of online-capable tools (which not everything is, but most apps can access the internet), ongoing security maintenance is important. I'm not sure we can have it both ways.
