The really crazy thing about using ad networks to distribute malware, which I think is very much still unrecognized, is how targeted you can make it.

You can, for example, target people over the age of 70 that live in high net worth areas, or people that live geographically close to some organization you're targeting specifically, in hopes of hitting an employee, or someone in their family.
Industrial argon is produced by fractional distillation of air and is a mostly inert gaz. Most of it is not food rated because it's mostly useless in food production. You are taking an extremely limited risk by using it to displace air in a wine bottle especially considering you are not actually puting it inside the wine.

Obviously you should use food rated argon if you want to be safe. It's just going to be more expensive and harder to source.
Not questioning your experience, but I've sat in a lot of engineering offices and had very little clue what the people around me were working on.

Seems like Americans have less and less in common, especially in ways adjacent to patriotism, all of the time. Much has been written about anti-intellectualism in these circles, where most of us have distinguished ourselves from the rabble by intellectual pursuits. But intellectuals would also rather write thinkpieces about how the majority of American history has been whitewashed (and... male-washed?) And I can't even say they don't make good points! Can most African Americans really be expected to rally around the Constitution or the lofty ideals of the revolution? I'm thinking they probably have a different perspective on that. A different experience of America and its history.

That's not even to mention this generation's disillusionment with the 1st amendment, the rejection or reinterpretation of the 2nd, the gradual erosion of the 4th. The association of constitutional 'audits' (YouTube that for a good time) with right wing conspiracy nuts. The conflation of patriotism with jingoism. I don't know how much of a rallying point the constitution can be going forward. And I wonder where that leaves us.

> I envision even more inequality as a result of brexit

It's certainly possible but since inequality has risen since 1979[1], which correlates rather well with the UK's membership of the EU it might be hard to convince Brexit voters that they've made a mistake on that, especially at this early stage. I'm sure someone will be tempted to pipe up with "evil Tories!" or "Thatcher" but they'll have to contend with all the quotes from staunch Labour politicians against the EU (in whatever guise it was in at the time), let alone explaining how joining the project coincided with the slow down of the post war narrowing of inequality and did nothing to stop it increasing later.

> I just don't see it playing out in any way that would result in an objectively better quality of life for working people

Don't forget the sovereignty bit, one of the reasons the remain argument failed to resonate with so many was because it focused purely on economics (partly because of the weakness of that for remainers, partly because it reflects interests). Given what you say, that inequality continues to rise just as it was previously then to regain sovereignty will be a big win.

agree with the conclusion of promoting widespread mixed-use in urban areas, but not the takeoff point. the author asserted an opinion (their 'expectation'), not a prescription. many experts agree on more mixed-use, it's just that many others, especially those who grew up and were educated during the rise of single-use zoning and are now in positions of power and influence over zoning, oppose it.
Correct > I'd like to hear about people with skin in the game, meaning residents or people tied to that land, about what they are looking to do, boots on the ground style, to change the situation they are in.

Not some outsider having an opinion on it with no stake in the outcome.

For example, if the academic was calling certain things he has an opinion on, about how to make things better, and to be done in the city of New York (presumably where he lives) then he would be a lot more credible.

Japan is NOT homogeneous. The author doesn't mention that before the Yamato, people already existed within Japan's border. Their descendants are very much alive and form various ethnic groups(Ainu). On the main island you would see less of these kind of diversity but Hokkaido or Okinawa are just another world.
"Exits" almost always destroy the original value created in a company. I get offers all the time to buy my company. Almost all of them come from men (and yes, they all have been men so far) with very little experience in my industry. If I sold to them, I would make a ton of money... But it would almost certainly destroy a lot of value in the company itself. My clients would get worse service, and my employees would not have the promised growth and benefits. And I think I would lose the meaning and purpose my company gives me.

A good PM, yes.

But IME, most are not.

As a dev lead, tech lead or architect, my experience of PMs has almost exclusively been terrible. It has usually involved them being a thin proxy between myself and management, with the PM constantly pushing for firm numbers and dates, pushing for forecasts, asking for meetings to explain all of the things they have already been communicated...

I invariably end up feeling like a baby sitter, and feeling like I'm doing most of the work the PM should be doing, and with frequent, pointless meetings cutting severely into my available time. Aside from that, as soon as there is any pressure from the customer, the PM projects that onto the team, lambasting and pushing, pushing for more with less.

On occasion my experience is different, with the PM actually using the data they already have available in Azure DevOps (or whatever), keeping meetings to the minimum, and shielding the team from outside stresses. Very rare though.
You’re unlikely to find in-person training anywhere right now, so that would likely be a fool’s errand.

You need to speak with your manager about this. There’s a lot of social contact and training that can be created without being in the office. If you haven’t spoken up and are just stewing about it at home, your team may be oblivious you feel this way.

There’s also no reason to assume you’d have gotten more training in the office. Many teams simply do not invest enough in training and onboarding new engineers. It sounds like you’re new to the industry and possibly haven’t realized this is common yet. The good news is communication can often resolve this to some degree if not fully.

For anyone who is suffering from this, or on some days finds it hard to sleep I recommend Science and Futurism With Isaac Arthur podcast.

It has "Narration Only" versions of all episodes and it is very interesting, so if you can't sleep you can listen to it but it will not have harsh noises.

Also Philosophize This has the same properties (very old episodes have some loud music).

Let me know if you know similar podcasts.

Third option is to have a look at bodyweight exercising. Most of it you can do at home with zero equipment and don't require much space. Some of it requires stomping, so you may have to skip those is someone lives under you.

I can't remember a single instance of people being infected by ads after the end of the IE era. And in 20 years on the internet, often without ad-blocking, I've never been a victim of anything like that (as far as I can tell, yes. But I'm somewhat certain and don't much care about symptomless problems).

As far as I can tell, the security argument is advanced mostly as justification for blocking even unobtrusive ads by people who love to both complain about the terrible state of "mainstream media" and to read what they publish.
>Shall we talk incentives? If billionaries cannot launder their reputations through philanthropy, maybe that would be more careful of their reputation during the wealth-accumulation phase.

I think you are exaggerating the effect of it. Do you really those who do shady deals think about 'laundering their reputation' when they are older - especially with the majority of their assets - as a big reason to do what they do, to the point where they wouldn't do those deals if they cant do philanthropy later? Perhaps to a small extent but I seriously doubt it's a big part of the picture. Definitely not enough to overshadow all the good done through philanthropy.

Technological stagnation – why I came around
Saying that it’s been more than a decade is not exactly fair. Yes the language was out then, but it took a while for even for basic practices like 2 and 3 compatible code bases to emerge, and for any of the most popular libraries to support 3. Even 5 years ago, maybe even 3 years ago the “is it compatible with py3 yet” page still had some non-trivial gaps.

So it’s not like it has been feasible for most projects to migrate for a full decade, it’s only been a few years.

I live in New York because it's where I can get a one-person home in a walkable neighborhood with good transit. If I could get that in a suburb, I'd be happy to live somewhere cheaper! What is so offensive about saying that people like me exist in large numbers?

Also... the point of academics is to study and report on things they're not personally involved with?

The article specifically talks about how these changes are already happening, driven by actual residents of the suburbs, and the academics found that there was little awareness of them and wanted to make more people aware of it.

This is a really well-written article. I am not sure if this spin on the cited references is novel but it is the first I am seeing any of it. I am jarred how well it describes the "middle" of society, including how many of my own behaviors/beliefs are captured.

One thing I am having trouble with is the connection between Michael and the "educated" ladder, even though a big portion of the article is dedicated to that. I will have to mull on it more before I can convincingly respond to "So you think Michael Scott represents the PhDs of the world?"

If you are the author, kudos to you.
> Actually I think there's a very good chance she'll object.

If you mean to suggest that this position runs across gender lines, then I very much object and find that a naive, but common, assumption.

It reminds me of a Canadian act that sought to introduce the word “fisherwoman” as a sign of good faith to the female fishermen, but it revealed that, overwhelmingly, the fishermen, male or female, did not like this change and found the word to sound silly.

I have noticed no correlation with the gender as to what position one takes on this, as many females as males seem to either favor, or object to, innovations such as “chairwoman” or “councilwoman”.

> The problem is that in your mind, males are the "default" human

No, that would be in the mind of those that read the word “man” and must compulsively attach a gender to a statement containing it.

I've certainly noticed that those so interested in gender language police invariably seem incapable of abstractly thinking of a person without attaching a gender thereto.

> and using sexist language reinforces this

The sexist history is to use the word that has always simply meant “human” and giving it a gendered, ageist meaning. — you reverse the history of the word here.

> at this point it's the wrong side of history for the better part of half a century.

What would you mean with “wrong side of history”? It is undeniable that the meaning of the word “man” to mean “human” is the original meaning of the word and that the secondary usage to mean “adult male human” is a later innovation.
