There's a nice history here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN_at_ten/History_...
I have a great network of old colleagues, in the UK. Unfortunately for both my network and I Brexit happened and as the UK wanted me to give one of my two passports up in exchange for a nice blue one from the UK, I decided to move to the mainland instead. Network blown, and have to interview in a second language. It's harder for sure, but not impossible. I'm 50 and happily in a financial position where I can last a few years without a job.

>Rules, policies, laws, Hammurabi's Code - they're all just leadership decisions made in advance. The problem here is that the leadership clearly doesn't really care. They got a complaint, they "investigated," and they moved on. Classic "governance" - totally ineffective.

I definitely don't have the experience you do, but the regular judicial system (in most countries that aren't kafka-esque throughout history) has adversarial parties that are incentivized to find if the other party is wrong. That's very different from all the corporate, university or open source "governance" systems. Maybe they can't bear that additional cost, but it's a huge difference.
> The most straightforward modern equivalent to Turchin's "elite" nobility would not be people with advanced degrees: it would be investors who do not work for wages.

This feels wrong. Investors did work for wages (or their ancestors did) and then instead of consuming they spent it on others in exchange for a pension.

The modern day equivalent to nobility would be government employees and net tax recipients.

InsurTechnix's founders experienced the effects of cyber attacks on multiple hospitals at our previous start up. That's one of the reasons we founded InsurTechnix.

> explicit that it doesn't appear to have left any leeway for common sense. Why did they simply follow the explicit procedures of the CoC rather than stopping to question if what they were doing was the right thing to do?

It's good that they blindly applied their CoC in a case where it's clear-cut that it's bad, since it revealed the problems with the CoC. If they chose not to enforce it in this instance, then when a more political issue inevitably came up down the road, a similar bad result may have happened but without the backlash necessary to fix it.
SRE provide the gitlab/jenkins? Sounds normal to me.
It's not only china that does this, and it's not only Vancouver that is the destination for this, it's just Vancouver is a popular destination for pacific rim countries for this AND has no superstar industry to speak of like London & NYC to help balance this.

In SF, NYC & London you can also partly blame their superstar industries and economic growth on the RE market, but NYC/London also has their empty Condo buildings too, and their equivalent of 'wealthy chinese' is 'wealthy russian'.

because sometimes I need to deploy things that will fail gracefully with people who don't know how to code. I can setup some complex things in excel that if some one does somethign unexpected or data does something unexpected, they can just overwrite things.

Code is great but requires systems that are not always in place.

I would argue a formula one race car is better than a 10 year old honda. But the honda doesn't need a support crew to get me to work, can be started in an instant, and doesn't care if I forget to change the oil for a year.

context matters in choosing technical solutions. Your argument is no different than all those other ones over what programming language is 'best'

Excel IS a programming language.

I'd actually agree that banning you was probably a bit much but let's actually look at the chain of events from your own account here.

You post "WTF @conferenceorgs". They warn you about swearing at their staff (I probably wouldn't treat it this way, but we do all know what the F stands for). You respond by... swearing at their staff? When you get a warning, then respond to that warning by repeating the offense it's hard to be surprised or outraged you didn't get a second warning.

Jamstack is essentially a client/cloud model. Instead of client/server/db it is client with CDN and apis/microservices.

Jamstack is static sites/headless CMS, CDN for content/storage/speed, microservices/apis for data/auth/etc focused on speed, pre-rendering, and decoupling for easier swappable parts rather than monolith. [1]

Try using Visual Studio or Jetbrains IDEs and you'll see the difference.

Why is it that people still don't understand the difference between selling software licenses and using said licenses?

The decision was explicitly about non-activated licences and didn't include the right to continue using a license of a sold product.

EuGH C128/11 explicitly states that you have to delete/invalidate any copy of used software that you sell.

The Vergabekammer Münster Az. VK 1-2/16 doesn't disagree wih that ruling either and neither do BGH Rs. I ZR 129/08 and Az. I ZR 8/13, which simply state that reselling volume licences is allowed.

Nowhere was a ruling made that didn't require uninstalling and deleting existing installations after resale.

I wouldn't call it remote. I know people who live in Victorville and commute over Cajon Pass to Riverside. One hour each way isn't an unthinkable commute in Southern California, and it lets them afford a fairly nice place compared to what they could get in Riverside. I suspect they're not that unusual.

In fact I thought of "land banking" there myself a decade or two ago, because I could see that the commute over Cajon would become thinkable.
Crypto my dude

The jack of all trades are making 7 figures building “DeFi” infrastructure

You just deploy a smart contract that helps people simplify a more complex task and your code takes a few percentage points

No overhead costs, incorporation, lawyers, banks etc necessary

Never been easier to make money

Basically the key concept that appeared this year is called “composability” where the outputs of one operation can be used as inputs of the next operation, so this is analogous to the interchangeable parts era of the industrial revolution

Smart contracts are extremely limited in the kinds of operations they can do, with most data structures algorithms being too expensive so you never have to employ the bullshit technical questions or any academic knowledge

But you probably should read a book like O’Reilly’s “Mastering Ethereum”. Ethereum introduces a concept called an “EVM” (like JVM) which is used on several more platforms that arent called Ethereum, so you should be familiar with that.

Oh! You also dont need to be distracted by:

“Consensus model ideology”

“I could use a database for this”

or any other self limiting thing.

because “you could also make money”

Lets be honest you were probably going to work for some ad tech startup anyway, all crypto projects have just as little utility for the world while possibly having the argument for much more utility, and you dont have to pretend like you are an investor that wont get zeroed out by VC liquidity preferences
Columbus had a hard time finding anyone to fund his suicide expedition. Everyone (well, everyone sufficiently well educated) knew the Earth was round, and knew the approximate size. Columbus mistranslated units and ended up with a world about half the circumference of Earth, putting the far east in easy reach. NASA actually has an article on this [0].

Had the Americas not existed, Columbus would have had had to make his way back with no fresh water or food, and a high risk of scurvy.

While they can revoke purchases, they've only done that for fraud (e.g.: stolen credit card, chargeback, etc.). I have plenty of games from publishers who went off Steam, unsupported titles taken off the store, games no longer sold due to expired music licenses, etc. -- and they're all in my Steam library to this day.

AFAIK most game platforms resort to just delisting and respecting purchases, with the notable exception of P.T. becoming unavailable for redownload even if you already claimed it[1]. (Except it was a free mini-game and not a purchase) The system isn't even meant to remove owned content to the point that P.T. is still in people's redownload lists, but the download itself results in HTTP 404.

And with Steam, there's always the "option" of downloading your entire library and archiving that. IIRC Steam's DRM is notoriously easy to crack (simple DLL replacement) and things like first-time-setup (additional registry keys, redistributables, etc.) are stored per-game in simple JSON-like files. That wouldn't cover game-specific DRM but it at least covers Steam itself.

What’s bad about foreign capital influx? Someone has to plan these buildings, someone has to build them. It creates jobs in various sectors.

We should be glad that the Chinese view our countries as safe and want to invest into them.

The real problem is that our local governments are unable to adjust the supply to the demand. THAT drives up prices and nothing else.

/edit: You could even make a law that foreigners can only invest into new construction which would make it impossible to invest without value creation for the local economy.
Ouch. I have spent some time digging into LLVM and that is not a complement to CMake.
Social learning and peer selection lead to polarized beliefs
One way to look at this is that money launderers are happy to pay a higher price because the house provides more value to them that it does to other buyers: it is both a real estate asset and a tool to launder their money. It's sort of like putting an offer down on a house with a pool when you can't swim. You rationally won't pay as much as the Olympic swimmer also bidding on the house because they get more value from it than you do.

The first-order obvious rational solution is to "learn to swim". If you're going to buy a house, figure out a way to also launder some money with the purchase. That way you're competing on a level playing field with other money launderers.

The second-order observation is that there is a business opportunity here. Shortly, I expect to see a Y-combinator funded startup developing an AI-driven mobile app that connects BC home buyers with criminals looking to launder their illicit gains. The market becomes more efficient and everyone wins.
I'm surprised they haven't already sidestepped this by making the button say "Add to Library" with a price.

I would argue that only when society is expanding does life get better for most people. When societies start to contract, people start trying to get control of as much of the shrinking pie as possible, and the people least able or with the least power struggle the most. If you want an equitable society, and you don't want an authoritarian state forcing equity on everyone, then you need society to expand to space.

Edit: fixed some typos that messed up the meaning.

> launderers don't worry about price

Is the opposite of "launderers want to buy extremely overvalued things."
Exactly. Folks want to carry on and not live in a world with a pandemic (or climate change, or slavery). But they also don't want to implement austerity at a personal level. They also don't want government to implement austerity at a larger scale. So the pandemic will rage on, climate change will continue to accelerate, and commodities will be produced by child and slave labor. All this will continue until the externalities bite us and revolution or collapse takes it all away.

The US could have handled this better if the politics weren't so polarized; but as it stands, the country is all too happy to cut its nose to spite its face. Perhaps economic collapse of the country which consumes the most resources in the world will reduce that consumption, and hence pollution and slavery. Maybe it will create a vacuum of power where another nation will take over; one which puts a greater focus on the environment but doesn't mind slavery. Or maybe we'll just say "fuck it" and start tossing bombs.
Upvoted because this is the truth.

As a consultant, don't be an administrative burden for the client, be someone that gives them a feeling they can really stop worrying about their problem or task, because a real pro now has it in hand and it will magically get solved, and they will get the correct reports so that everyone is happy etc.

Ideally you let them imagine you are much, much better than anyone they've ever worked with, by rolling with that idea and not doing anything to detract from it. It's what they want to believe from the start, so you actually have some advantage from that. E.g. you can communicate when other people would avoid doing so, which often helps a business problem anyway, and you are likely to be presumed quite authoritative, even if you're secretly reading up on the material as fast as you can between meetings.

And be straight with the client if at all possible about issues, including whether you're being asked to do the right tasks, and manage yourself as if you had a great manager and PM so they don't have to. If necessary, help with gaps in managing other people too, but gently, by making sure people know bits of information that help, and taking small initiatives as long as they help. Overall be like you are wise, insightful, helpful, and understand engineering and businesses better than anyone they could hire normally, even if it's not really true.

I have just been a problem to two of my current clients, because of a timing conflict (and being messed around in a serious way by another company). That anguishes me and I'm now in repair mode. ethbr0's advice is exactly what I will be trying to get back to, and in the spirit of "be straight with the client" I will literally tell them that I understand why they hire a consultant, that I failed and have cost them (because I really have), and what I'm doing to rectify the problem. It's likely to work out fine, because once they (all the relevant people) feel that I really understand what they need, they're likely to stop worrying and be glad that someone else is making the problem magically disappear again. It will take about 1 meeting per person and some good deliverables, and a week or so for the network of managers talking to managers to calm down, until they feel that way, but me showing understanding and an aura of "humility, integrity and leadership" usually means they go back to all the other busy things occupying their time, confident I'm "on it" again.

The thing is, those sporadic acts will have exactly opposite reaction. The 'protectors of islam' are pouring petrol under nationalist movement kindling . If that ever catches fire muslims will be the biggest scape goat for nasty things to come out of it.

This might sound farfetched today - it is as of today - but add together: global market crash, covid and big win for right wing party and local muslim pogroms are not out of cards. Look to poland and hungary, where leader would simply look away and pretend racist stuff doesn't happen.
Why is that all considered "money laundering" rather than investing? There was a forcing function on getting money out of HK prior to China taking over, but that seems more diversifying than "laundering".

I think that the evolution of land animals (and especially humans) has had more negative than positive consequences for sea life.
Part of the reason why this doesn't happen is because the owner-investors are so wealthy that the 36-72k in rental income would mean nothing to them, and it isn't worth the hassle of being a landlord.
The idea is doing a multi-arm study with multiple vaccines plus control. You need more people than in a two-arms study but less than in multiple two-arm studies. The problem is that it's also more difficult to organize than multiple two-arm studies.
Marvels' Celestials also have this story:

"Celestial Eggs within planets

It was stated by the Celestial Madonna that Earth and many other worlds were implanted with a Celestial Egg/Embryo at their center, gestating for millions of years before birthing and consuming the planet. Similar processes was witnessed in Earth-9997 and other realities."

There are unforeseen costs associated with being a foreign landlord open for local renters: taxes, fixes, complaints, language barriers (even before COVID).

The incentive to buy, hold and not rent, even with the speculation tax is higher than having their entire money confiscated by the CCP. The (discounted) money generated by rent does not justify the costs mentioned earlier either.
