Here in NZ we got rid of almost ALL deductions the tax system is so simple that almost all people with one job pay exactly the right tax through employer PAYE (as someone who runs a small company I do my PAYE with 1 line of spreadsheet formulae, it's easy).

This means most people don't need to file, if you want to it's a 1-2 page web form, and, starting last year, the IRD will do it for you anyway and directly credit your refund (with interest) to your bank account without you asking
True that. But, in this case (and many others), the decision is impacted by both the sunk cost fallacy (your point), but also the "I don't like looking at that mess I made so let's just throw it out" fallacy. Just because it makes you feel bad looking at it, doesn't mean throwing it out is the best answer. Sometimes, jumping in and spending the time is the best answer.

Of course, if there's a rule for how to avoid both of those errors, I haven't found it. But it's helpful at least to know that they both exist.
Gave up on google search because of this ... not a big loss.
It's funny, when I was younger I was very concerned with privacy and defending my rights. Maybe I'm just exasperated because of the fact that all my protests and outrage didn't make a difference.

One of my biggest frustrations these days is actually the CMA tracking cookie notifications that come up on every web site wanting me to agree before continuing. They are more annoying than paywalls and as a general rule I never click I agree so they keep comming.

I'm not negligent with my privacy, but not vigilant to the point of blocking all emails from people with gmail addresses either. I guess I'm just more complacent and can't be bothered to expend the time and effort to protect my privacy to that degree anymore. Maybe once I get burned I'll feel differently but at this point in my life I have far more important things to worry about.

I sometimes joke that I need to go back to attending church regularly so I can learn how to act properly whilst an omniscient entity like big tech is watching my every action.

I actually created a support ticket and also talked to someone in Atlassian through some user experience lab thing.

I didn't comprehend how someone thought it would be a good idea to move the button for a new ticket away from the main screen to that sidebar thing where it took an additional click to do so.

I didn't even made an argument.
"To kill" means somehow causing the death of something. This the fact. It doesn't matter if its a animal or a human. An certainly doesn't matter where it happens. You can kill something/someone on purpose, by accident or "involuntary on purpose" like in self defense but that doesn't change the killing part. You caused the death of something = you killed. Facts are neutral. I'm not saying chicks should or should not be killed whether inside the egg or outside. All I'm saying is that it is without any doubt killing, therefore the "no-kill" thing is a lie. Killing an embryo inside a human obviously is killing to. There is a special word for that but that doesn't change the facts.

Also I assume with "embryo" you meant a "human embryo" so by definition it is already a living human (assuming its not a dead human embryo). Its a living humans it a early development state that we call embryo it will become a living humans fetus and so on unless it dies or gets killed. These are the facts, words have meanings and definitions. Thats why we can not kill SARS-CoV-2 with bleach because by definition viruses are not alive so we can not cause its death)
I've been looking for a citation too, but either it's just late or I've gotten worse at searching things. Hope OP responds.
4chan users already used to do this for the old text based ReCaptcha. The idea was everyone put in a particular racial slur (they're not very imaginative) for the second word. I doubt it had any impact.
I think we can all agree that after the last few weeks we are sick of people yelling “fraud” and not showing any proof. Please show proof.
> It's like trying to pass a basketball through a slit. Yes, there's a theoretical interference pattern, and you can calculate it, but you can't do the experiment because you can't pass the basketball through a slit that small (in the case of basketballs, if I recall, the largest slit is angstroms if not smaller).

I know this doesn't have too much to do with the core of your post, but I want to mention it nevertheless: QM does not imply that there is an interference pattern for basketballs. There might or might not exist one, but we would need an answer to the question of measurement to predict one way or the other.

Is it eBay by any chance?

That recently started randomly showing reCaptchas to me when I'm already logged in and have been using the site for some time. When this happens, it descends into a never-ending cycle of more login screens and then more reCaptchas.

But thankfully eBay have taken note of the dozens of complaints about this on their user forums, dating back to 2018 and rushed their best people in to fix it.

[That last sentence was dripping with sarcasm, in case anyone unfamiliar with the company thought eBay ever took any notice whatsoever of their users' concerns]

I'm not a violent person at all. But if I ever meet the person who spawned reCaptcha and all its equally annoying clones, which are a pox on the internet, I won't be responsible for my own actions.
I don’t think you can say it’s a myth if it’s a “cost of doing business” though. Companies are incentivized to reduce costs and risks that do not provide a return. If an employer can hire someone experienced with a solid track record, and reduce any risk of them needing further training or not working out for other reasons, how is that any different (from a pure business perspective) then any other cost or risk reduction strategy?

I’m not saying this is how it should be necessarily, but it’s the reality for employers in the existing system.

The way contractors are currently used isn’t really anything like an apprenticeship, and functionally couldn’t be as contractors are usually required to produce specific results on a timetable. That’s not to say that contracts couldn’t be used to create this kind of relationship, something like a “work-to-hire” agreement, or a co-op/internship with more well-defined way to transition to full employment. From a legal perspective though, that could involve the same (or new) risks, especially when it’s a new and untested kind of business relationship.
Hack Your Environment
For me at least, the images on recaptcha have been getting much much worse, to the point of often being almost indistinguishable. So although they are still typically asking for the same things (cars, buses, stop signs, traffic lights) they do seem to be actually still making progress on the labelling effort.
Would they be willing to actually pay for it?
For TV and radio there’s a finite resource (radio spectrum) which is then allocated by government permission. OTOH, it’s much easier to set up a website and publish some content or even host conversations, than it is to set up a TV station. So the finality of the state you describe seems far from obvious — determined folks (a minority) will likely have the opportunity to opt out. It’s a different matter whether the same “ease of forking” which allows new platforms also promotes fragmentation. Maybe people learn to value community enough that some of these niche platforms coalesce to coexist & flourish.

To have fruitful interactions does not require the platform to have “scale”. And over you take away scale, most of the problems afflicting these platforms also goes away; they are problems of our own making.
So that just leaves soil, tillage, fertilizer, process. Which were pretty primitive 70 years ago.
in most cases, tools with subscriptions do not need more maintenance than products with a one-time purchase (don't know anything about this specific case, so dunno if it applies here). It's just that after adobe/jetbrains and others opened pandoras box, slowly but surely more and more devs try to make their tools to a continuous income stream...

It get's really silly to the point that a snipping app has a yearly subscription (xnip), calendars have subscriptions (fantastical) and many other tools which once would have been a $20-$30 purchase all now want $3-$10 a month.

Personally I'm sick of it. I'd rather go back to the 'old days'...
How do other retailers compare? Are there any metrics?
This is complete opposite of my experience at AWS. I'm one of the biggest critics of how we do "software" (just ask any of my managers), but in none of the orgs I've worked at COEs were ever used against you. On the contrary, a good COE is usually applauded.

Its also just much more efficient.

One central high quality HR Team can scale easily in a big org while the same amount in small companies need spend more on HR.

And its not just HR of course.

I wouldn't even trust small companies to build a modern and secure cloud product. While big companies have their own Security Teams and are able to afford a normal security audit, for a small company that means 1. much higher cost in relation and also binding of personal they might not have.

I have worked in a very small company which basically couldn't spell security. And i'm now working in a very big company. There are plenty of people who also can't do that but there are teams only for security.

I don't have to justify now that i'm doing things securely. Thats how it is. My manager will not sign the risk away; He actually can't and people are not keen of asking upper upper management for that.

> There's something else: One my best friends growing up in Dallas was named Henry Zapruder. His father was Abraham Zapruder [the Dallas dressmaker who shot the famous film of the assassination.] I knew the Zapruders very well, and had been in their home many times.

What are the odds of that. Maybe we need something like the Erdős-Number, but for the JFK assasination.
This seems correct. RC vs GC might explain how a Mac full of NSObjects needs less memory than a Windows full of .NET runtimes, but it doesn’t explain how M1 Mac with 16GB of RAM is faster than x86 Mac with 16GB or more of RAM.

Besides, a lot of memory usage is in web browsers, which must use garbage collection.

Looking at the reviews of M1 Macs, those systems are still responsive and making forward progress at a “memory pressure” that would make my x86 Mac struggle in a swap storm. It seems to come down to very fast access to RAM and storage, large on-die caches, and perhaps faster memory compression.

Yep, and SQL-builders are the first thing I thought of, too.

These tools are great for letting someone build something they don't understand, and leaves them completely adrift when something goes wrong.

The next step is they bring this nonstandard thing to "the expert", who has to figure out their tool before they can figure out what's going wrong...
Ehhh... the ratio of "bump in the night" problems that affect just me to genuine outages that cross regions and affect others is about 1:1, and then about 1 in 4 or 5 of the cross-region problems blow up to the scale where they feel forced to update the dashboard. So I disagree, I think a canary flock would be both meaningful and useful.

As you point out, though, the status dashboard isn't truly meant to be either of those things. I don't have any illusions about it ever changing.
I would say that is pretty spot on, and I would include MacOS in that list to a lesser extent too.

You can't change much about how MacOS works under the hood anymore. If you don't like how it works, tough.

But the outcome of high-stakes commercial litigation is much more complex than “win or lose.” Most cases settle, so the ones that result in published legal judgments which can be fed into a machine learning tool are an unrepresentative minority. Participating in this kind of litigation also costs millions and attracts public attention, leading to innumerable second-order effects (eg. public relations damage, law reform) that are hard to predict and may be more significant than whatever specific legal decision a judge makes. So being able to put a numerical probability on the legal opinion “we think the company has a good chance of winning this case” may not be that helpful.

Five hours later and nothing has changed. For a company like Amazon this should be unacceptable.

Before someone replies and says use a different AZ, that's not possible for everyone. If you use a 3rd party service that is hosted on us-east-1 you can't do anything about it. For example, many Heroku services are broken because of this.
Not at AWS, retail Amazon, but what I saw was COEs were either normal business process or PIP material depending on which org you worked for. And sometimes just the excuse to get you gone.

Where I was about 99.9% of the COEs where just a lesson learned and new process to prevent it. There was one that was basically used as a tool to remove a VERY good engineer, that didn't mesh well with new leadership.

A sister org, one I worked a lot with, wouldn't COE anything. If you were the lead engineer on a product or service that had a COE you were going to get a PIP by year end review. I wasn't surprised when all the talent left that group.

It's possible to suggest a direction for the spinning dancer illusion.[1]

I don't have an example for you that actually has cues included, but you can do it with some success in your own mind. Decide you want to see it spinning clockwise, then look at it. Now look away, and tell yourself it's going to be spinning anti-clockwise, then look at it again.

I now that's not quite what you wanted, but I imagine you could achieve a similar result by showing a clockwise/anticlockwise cue on the image itself.

They sold a lot of the ad enabled tablets one black friday for like $80 which seemed like a good deal at the time despite not running google apps which most people desire, having ads on the lock screen, and having the worlds shittiest home screen app for android. I bought one for my wife. If you are lazy or not inclined you can actually pay after the fact to remove ads.

Alternatively you can deliberately break the ad functionality, install google apps, and android lets you change your home screen.

1 and 2 worked but they broke the ability to set your own home so the fix is a hacky app to hijack the home button to show the right home of your choosing. This worked for over a year then they repeatedly blacklisted such apps, then it worked but with a 2 second delay which is basically horrible and extensions started crashing the gmail app.

Worst piece of shit ever.
I agree with mike. You have offered a reductio ad absurdum. This isn't meaningful discussion and it is painfully transparent, as well.
And I also didn't expect everyone abroad to respect Diego so much in this day and age.

It absolutely is jargon. The fact that you explained it by saying it's "mathematics" instead of "English" suggests as much. Jargon means that it's technical language specific to a field and not used in everyday vernacular. What you wrote can't even be typed on a standard keyboard. It's jargon.

I'm pointing it out because its use is not so innocent. Jargon is often used to obfuscate meaning, especially when it means something that would otherwise be easy to say plainly.
For me slack is a very simple deal:

Microsoft Teams Chat UI is garbage. It uses a lot of space, i can't just have a list of channels, no i need groups etc.

It even doesn't matter to me if its slack or hipchat or matrix or whatever. I don't know why we migrated to slack.

I don't get why Teams doesn't provide a lightweight chat typical UI. I would just switch to Teams. After all video calls are much better on Teams and more stable.

But then Slack integrated Teams and Zoom. They clearly don't want to compete in this area and i also don't get why.
And I never stated that. It's just more optimized.
I’m pretty sure vegetarians, or vegans for that matter, don’t need to defend themselves.

Also, we evolved without living in stone structures and sewn clothes. I don’t see you asking people who wear jeans and tshirts to defend themselves.

I’m neither, but you’re arguing a straw man version of what either vegetarianism or veganism is.
Formula 1 athletes (Lewis Hamilton) get that critique a lot but from what I've heard, it's a physically demanding activity that requires a lot of physical fortitude and therefore the "F1 drivers aren't athletes" argument is dubious (although I admit it's not a persuasive argument on my side precisely because people don't automatically think of F1 drivers as athletes).

Professional surfing is not physically demanding and doesn't require needs different from normal people? Do you think that they just casually go out on the water once a week? Also, from my brief experiences surfing, I seem to recall it being one of the most physically taxing sports I've ever done, in terms of total body usage.

Valid points about needing to distinguish between professional athletes who were vegan at their peak versus after their peak, and diving into the details about how precisely how "vegan" each of the people I quoted actually are.

Admittedly it's not calculated so it may be a stretch, it's based on the assumption that the vast majority of spam out there just looks for forms to submit without smarts (which is also why honeypots can be pretty effective, especially if you have a small website that nobody will take the effort to work around it.)

I've seen people report that they have reduced spam to near nothing already with just a honeypot, but of course I can't verify those claims.
The solution is obviously to invent empathy technology.
I'm using Brave plus NextDNS, and am on a CG-NAT IPv4 address, so reCaptcha absolutely hates me. I always need to do at least 5 rounds of matching before it'll let me past. My record has been 12 rounds.

hCaptcha seems to pretty consistently only make me do 2 rounds, so I certainly prefer it.

Ah, OK. For the reasons I mentioned earlier I did assume you were vegan. We're on the same page and we want the same thing. My goal was to point out to my fellow vegans that empathy seems to be a trigger word for meat/dairy eaters and usually doesn't lead to productive debate.
