It is also possible that there is nothing wrong with the financials, but there is wrong with the controls over the financials.

IE, can the entire finance department sign off on checks? Or something along those lines.

But with the above example, say anyone can process process orders without any oversight (ie no sign off by 2 VPs or something like that) What is potentially stopping some AP clerk from setting up a fake company, and then paying them for services every month?

These are also the types of things that controls over financial reporting could mean.
He called 2020's civil unrest. A trader would have to extrapolate to place a bet on that.
You can’t control your destiny when it’s based on millions of lines of other people’s code, billion transistor hardware designs that you have never seen, fabricated by distant mega factories using closely guarded secret processes.

You may want some idea of controlling your own destiny, but it’s a mirage.
No, a small thing is blowing a tire, or fixing an engine. Being sued for pain and suffering because an accident occurred that wasn't your fault, that's not small. Things like that literally ruin your life.

You can make the argument, "Well, they should know better, and if not it doesn't matter." I find that weak. The legal system is amazingly complex around business and fault during accidents. It's so complex, that there are attorneys that spend their entire career focusing on things like this. When dealing with insurance there is no, "Well it's ok, I'm insured." It's, "I'm insured if I can prove I didn't break any of the insurance contract rules," and the people on the other side, they're all better at this than you are. Most people who drive for Uber, etc. have no idea this is how it really is. The driving companies have pushed all this off to individuals, because they know the consequences of them getting involved, and this is why there needs to be laws surrounding things like this.
Yeah I either sleep 0-5 hours or 12+, rarely in between. Interestingly I usually feel better with the former (for a few hours before the microsleeps hit, at least). When i sleep late, I normally wake up with a bad headache, sore, really bad brain fog, etc.

I don't think there's a one-sized-fits-all solution without something custom and extremely expensive ($15k+). Maybe a Lenovo T480 for most purposes and a dedicated second screen for color correctness? I had a Dell Studio XPS 1645 with an RGBLED screen with an insane gamut. It begs the question: Why aren't such screens widely available?

Your post fixates on "artistic or craft endeavour" defined as something frivolous (i.e. "fun" solutions). I disagree with the use of the word artistic (and craft), but the word only appears once. Intuitively, the point is development requires a lot of "design" work that is creative, an logically so; in the same way medicine is.

In your bricklaying example, how does a bricklayer operate without an architect? The equivalent of laying bricks is typing characters.

A developer has to decide what to type, not just type it.
Big was the whole point, people decided we needed the capability to send large masses beyond Earth orbit in a single launch. Anything smaller would mean "giving up" on human spaceflight to the moon or Mars. Doing it in a single launch is silly, but that thinking was widespread at the time.

And a low flight rate was also a given. Delta IV Heavy only files about once every 18 months, there's insignificant demand for anything even bigger. That was why NASA decided they had to do this themselves, because it would be insane for any commercial company to build a rocket without a market.

And expensive was also part of the plan, you can't spread enough pork to make it unkillable if it isn't expensive.

Big, expensive, low flight rate. Those weren't problems, they were requirements.

Especially in terms of congestion and efficiency, the "piggyback" model solves many problems and is complementary to clean air campaigns that governments spend millions on.
I play a lot of stepmania (DDR and stamina), and I have really struggled with audio latency in Linux. And I have spent far too much time on PulseAudio and JACK configuration. Windows, again, is fine with nearly no latency and virtually no configuration required. I have resigned myself to just having a dedicated Windows partition for gaming.

Because of covid, my wife and I have been using DoorDash probably twice a week. As others have mentioned, if you have a chase sapphire reserve card, they give you like $60 in credit this year and next, and free dash pass, so it makes it actually decently economical to use.
Obviously if you do the math, this is just another VC Ponzi scheme with no real path to profit, but as a consumer who already had that credit card, might as well ride the wave and use some rich LPs subsidies to pay for the delivery of my cheeseburgers I suppose.
No. The point of AB5 was to make freelancing illegal and capture independent contractors and reduce their choices for employment to be union or non-union employees.

The author, in addition to being generously funded by the AFL-CIO, astutely granted an exception to professions that had the means to sue the state (doctors, lawyers, realty agents) and crushed over 400 other professions from freelance coder to hair stylist to forensic nurse to actors and stagehands receiving a stipend to perform in community theater.

AB5 is strongly anti-woman, more specifically, anti-mother, as many mothers choose to be yoga or pilates instructors or work a nail salon to gain extra revenue while having the flexibility time wise to shuttle their children to school and extracurriculars.

Not the least of which, people like us, if we live in California, we can’t be hired on a freelance basis to code or be cybersecurity tiger teams for tech companies because we would have a hand in the finished product. And thanks to a last minute amendment, changing “worker” to “person” (and Citizens United), we can’t even legally do it if incorporated. The FTB will come a knockin’ for the fines legislated by AB5, you can count on that.

AB5 is so convoluted, attorneys have only the one choice in advising clients: don’t hire freelancers from California. Because the law is so convoluted it will be necessarily refined in the court system. And lawyers need to defend their malpractice insurance, so they can only advise their clients to play it safe.

One final point. The core of AB5 is about 300 words. And thousands of words about who is exempt. What does that say about any law written in such a fashion. IMO, it means the law is specifically designed to choose winners and losers.

Lessons from my first week as a book author
Service Mesh and Abstraction Leak
I did something like this[1] for a CTF I hosted. It spins up a pod in Kubernetes with a predefined set of images based on the username. e.g. `ssh TeamCode:CHALLENGE_NAME@ssh.coop-ctf.ca` would spin up the container for that team with the image for the challenge.

Since the container could be used by multiple team members, I had an external scripts to tear down after 30min of inactivity.

When buying a Leaf, you can install LeafSpy on your phone and bring a Bluetooth ODB dongle and check the battery pack health.

If you are less technical, you can count some bars on the dashboard. It's less precise but it gives an idea.

I wouldn't mind buying a 7-10 years old Leaf, the battery is not new but it is good enough for short distances.

> lazy

It's not laziness. I want Apple to take responsibility for privacy and security mechanisms in the OS. I want them to be the experts on this. That's part of what I'm paying them for.

> The security and trust argument only works if Apple's security mechanisms work.

If a security mechanism isn't 100% effective that doesn't mean it doesn't have substantial value. Black and white thinking isn't a useful way to evaluate security (or privacy) mechanisms.

I think the design of the code signing warning is good: If someone is unsophisticated enough to be frightened by that warning, they probably should be.

"...yet are still leading a full economic life."

What's wrong with that? How is taxing the people working from home going to create a full economic life the people who aren't? Seems like we would be dragging more middle-class people down than actually elevating the poor (the rich make most of their money through capital, so this won't have a big impact on most of them). You would have to restructure how we treat labor and capital in the ownership and compensation models in society if we want to actually address inequality. These short-sighted taxation ideas are only addressing symptoms, not the root problems. It will only get worse.

"The report says the tax should only apply outside times when the government advises people to work from home"

They only want this to apply when not under the current conditions of today. Sounds like they are using today's data and problems to propose a "solution" that won't actually be in effect when needed most. To me this sounds like they didn't have data to support this tax under the prior conditions, but now they have the right data to cherry-pick.

I find it interesting "everyone" still doesn't understand causality vs causation.

Just because Musk says something doesn't make it true. We need better tools to measure result quality.
There’s merit here but one challenge is that such a service is just another revolving line of credit for the company. Another credit card. Finance would likely want it locked down as well.

Ive had a lot of success shaving hundreds of thousands off aws budgets and my first tactic is always to create mental awareness that every terraform apply is a virtual swipe of the company credit card.

In big companies, making it hard for non-executives to spend money is a feature not a bug.

Why would they be out of a job? Surely bleeding money in Uber’s case is a self-inflicted wound, because they provide a service below cost? Raise prices, problem solved.

Oh wait there are other companies that also follow the same model and Uber would lose all customers the moment it raised prices? Looks like something in the rules doesn’t add up unless VC money doesn’t stop flowing.

Module signatures may contain types.

So you can write a signature like:

module type VectorSpace = sig
module Field : Field
type t
val zero : t
val (+) : t * t -> t
val (*) : Field.t * t -> t
end

In OOP it becomes hard to write an interface like this simple example, and more complex examples become harder still.
Sure if we could snap fingers and get to the UBI full social safety net overnight maybe it'd be fine, but right now what happens is businesses fight and lobby to reduce both taxes that would fund that net and against regulations to prevent abuses of workers who have to work or die.
The active word is more. The article doesn’t examine other platforms at all, so doesn’t address this.
Exactly. This is why we need to repeal unnecessary government overreaches like the minimum wage and the 13th amendment.
Who would have known the SpaceX experiment would work? There is some case to be made that US Gov was overly conservative and not willing to innovate, but I suspect that's safer than using taxpayer money on a SpaceX-like iniative that suffers as many failures as SpaceX did initially. Can you imagine the political fallout? We don't have an appetite for that from the Gov any more, not like we did in decades past.

NASA and the US Gov made the decision to fill a strategic gap the only way they knew how (and the way that had worked in the past). Now, other options are emerging, but not available and certainly not certified.
This seems like another signal of an overall trend. Post-sj, Cupertino seems to be getting progressively laxer about testing, quality, usability, and overall excellence in software and hardware. It's a shame. :'(

Legislation doesn’t solve software problems.
Those aren't talking points, and they certainly don't belong to MSNBC. The facts have been corroborated by multiple sources, published by hundreds of media outlets, many of which are international and apolitical towards the US. And they likely wouldn't have been anonymous sources if your chaos-mongering sociopath president didn't have a long history of attacking whistleblowers. Deflecting and disregarding substantial and material evidence because the person who exposed it wanted to not be attacked is pretty fucking pathetic.
You don't necessarily have an option. ssh lets you tunnel with tun/tap interfaces which presumably suffers this problem given that ssh is over TCP. Sometimes you're forced to set something up over whatever link you happen to have.

They buy toilet paper, cleaning fluids, pens, envelopes that way.

I can assure you they do not (at least not in any company I have worked). They have pre-approved suppliers for all those things that are well integrated into our invoicing system. Adding a new supplier to that list is a major process.

If I need a new one off hard drive I can either either ask IT to order it from the one approved computer component company or I buy it out of pocket and go through the reimbursement process.

> Linux is fine, but it doesn't just work, and it needs to in order to gain a foothold not just in the developer community but with the general public

I understand the general public, but the developer community? Why can't the "professional-computer-whisperer" demographic be arsed to setup their computers?

In all seriousness: The extent to which you have to manually configure / fix stuff in Linux is seriously overstated, especially w/ the "easy" distributions like Ubuntu and Mint. I've installed both of those on other people's laptops and they've had no complaints at all.
I think sleep is critical for mental health and simply glancing at your bright cellphone screen during the night is an act of self sabotage. Even on the low setting with blue light filter on. It is still spectacularly bright compared to what our bodies have gotten used to over the past several millennia.
Your automobile analogy is actually extremely apt because when the car was invented and "jay drivers" (the original term) began killing hundreds of thousands of people, public consensus began to form around strictly limiting the speed of cars.

The auto industry successfully lobbied local legislatures and shifted public opinion through a massive marketing campaign in order to create the crime of "jaywalking". This is how our city streets went from shared spaces to the exclusive territory of drivers (much to the benefit of the auto industry).

Same thing is happening here. Perhaps a new class of labor does need to be created, but in a just world that would be happening on the terms of the workers, not the corporations.
The hypothesis "if I come too close to this ledge, I will fall into the precipice" is falsifiable. The question is, do we really want to test (falsify) it?

Just ordered this book. I had to recently delete my Reddit account as I found myself getting drawn into needless arguments.

Don't get me wrong, occasionally I would have fun learning new things, but like all other social media it turns into angry people yelling.

Aside from Reddit I have been Social Media / Online Dating free for just under 2 years.

It's amazing how much mental energy I would waste on this stuff. No judgement to people who enjoy social media, but it cutting it boosted my emotional health by leaps and bounds.

>>The OECD data is particularly flawed because it is based on “income,” which excludes a host of non-cash government benefits and private charity that are abundant in the United States. Examples include but are not limited to:

- Nourishment provided by food stamps, school lunches, school breakfasts, soup kitchens, food pantries, and the Women’s, Infants’ & Children’s program

-Housing and amenities provided through rent subsidies, utility assistance, and homeless shelters

Yes, of course, because no European nation provides these. What an idiotic article.

What a nonsense and biased article. Biden just raised and spent $1 billion on the 2020 campaign, but you won't see The Guardian claiming Biden "bought the election".

Yet if ridesharing companies spend money to advertise their position that, if the new ride-sharing rules were upheld, they would be forced to leave California, depriving thousands of people of work, that's somehow "buying a law"?

It was a referendum. People voted. The facts were on the side of Uber and Lyft, and they were able to persuade the public to see that.

The law was being pushed knowing full well that it would have killed Uber and Lyft. It was strongly supported by the unions who see Uber and Lyft as an existential threat. The unions can't compete with them, so they tried using the politicians they've bought to effectively outlaw them. Fortunately, it didn't work.

Uber and Lyft provide a service millions of people voluntarily use, with drivers who voluntarily chose to work. That's how our society should work. Government shouldn't be interfering with voluntary transactions.

Buddy, if you think the results of the power structures of those two groups of people are different, you got another thing comin'. Do you consider it bad that Trump's wealth was bolstered by hundreds of millions in tax abatements from that same politician class?

I'm not arguing that it wouldnt be great if our politicians would all go back to their farms in recess, but I am saying that in today's world and with our system, that it's impossible.
