Microsoft's going to make zero profit in that subsidiary and your PM won't dare to pick a fight about the untaxed profit in other subsidiaries, because if both Bing and Google leave the Australian market, what's left?

You wish!

A few years ago one website of a huge electronics component supplier did exactly that. I notified the webmaster, to which they responded that I represent a corner case in their new mobile-first strategy and it's a wontfix. However after politely inquiring how many of their customers source industrial supplies from their cellphones it was eventually reversed.

Containerize all the things with Ubuntu Core 20
No doubt.

I (generally) like taking myself offline. Thats how I learned everything I know (by fucking up). But thats also why I like to have my mail/monitoring outside my own selfhosted infrastructure. Cause those two things are something that should be running 100% of the time. And if I dont feel like fixing whatever I broke right this moment, I like to feel like I dont have to.

Sometimes I just go to bed whenever I broke something and fix it tomorrow. If I have to flick my light switches by hand until then, so be it, I can live with that. But mail and monitoring cant wait that long :P
> This applies to my phone as well, which I always have with DND turned on.

Haha, same. I don't use the DND mode, I just leave vibrate on but no sound. Some people complain from time to time that they can't reach me but I figure if it's something important it will reach me eventually.
My theory would be that that:

* "disturbable by default" is a carry-over from landline-only time

* calls where rarer in landline-only time because they (sometimes) cost _money_

* calls where rarer in particular times (eg late at night) because of a social norm

* calls in the middle of the day where probably rarer, but also much easier to ignore because you were not at home and your phone simply run in the void

* calls were mostly done by human beings

Now, the "phone calls from a human being who respects social norms or that I simply never hear" have been replaced by "automated notifications from bots in a piece of plastic that's constantly in my pocket, or text messages from people that expects me to be reachable at any time."

So, I would argue that "disturb" was always the default mode, but the disturbance is now high enough that we might want to reconsider.

Although, the old rules like "don't call me after 11pm unless it's an emergency" would be hard to translate to "don't text me after 11pm unless it's an emergency even though it's currently our only way to communicate because lockdown" ;)

Quite agree that Amazon is a cheap target: they do very bad things and they are able to do them at scale; one might argue even in a monopoly situation. Doesn't make stuff fairer. Rest assured it's not my only target, if that's what troubles you.

Amazon's choice to exploit workers might very well be an industry standard, but this doesn't make it a choice any less: Amazon boasts about leading on important social issues, but that's the real bullshit. They just do as the others, no virtue at all. Being in the strong position, they might have the opportunity to make the industry fairer, but they willingly decided not even to try.

I like how in your world megacorp automatically get the benefit of doubt, while people pissing in their pants because they cannot go to the bathroom are "relatively" fine.

That already happened in 2011 and in all the later ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Russian_legislative_elect...

That helped him to stay in power, but only to an extent.

Unfortunately, he decided to resort to even more sinister means to stay in power, military offence against a neighbor country. Apparently, land grab of Crimea boosted his popularity by a lot back in 2014. Only recently the effect has started to fade away, likely a result of macro-economic consequences of international sanctions.

Easy targets are the best targers.

Amazon is the raise of centralized retail and computing.

Furthermore replacing store workers with fully appized gig delivery drivers is probably no net gain for small towns.

You don't have to be a "young idealist" to be worried about Amazon eating everyones lunch.
Facebook and Google HQs could just relocate their headquarters somewhere else and eat a loss on the buildings; the value of either company isn't really tied to the value of the land there, unlike oceanfront hotels and condos adjacent to the beach.

Are you saying that your device doesn't let you silence application notifications? Which device is that so that I can stay far away?

All of these comments make my iPhone/AppleWatch sound like the only devices with a silent-mode and a DND-mode that work. That surely can't be true, so why are we pretending that these features don't exist? If you're getting woken up by app notifications in 2021, it's time to RTFM.
I used to work somewhere that didn't take documentation as seriously as it should and I personally 'suffered' as a result because as a reviewer I spent a lot of time fixing poorly written docs, or explaining to others how they should fix them.

I finally got management's attention when I stood up in one of our periodic group wide meetings and said "There is something that we do that is critical to our business but very inefficient because of the level of rework it triggers. Across a year we start this activity about once every two hours. What is it?"

The answer was of course 'create a document'. I'd used our document issuing system to find out how many docs our group had created in a year. As a group that conducted research tasks and process-heavy delivery projects for external customers, we did in fact create a lot of documents. We already had a document guidance framework, but it wasn't until management realised the overhead created by not following it that the necessary training and education in doc production finally got traction.

FAQs: Why we don’t have them (2013)
While much smaller in volume, there's also a whole sub-culture of people opposed to "emulation", a subset of which sees FPGA's as borderline "cheating", and/or who would otherwise love to print pin-compatible replacements for old chips.

Heck, even being capable of printing replacements for 6581/8580 (SID - sound chip from Commodore 64) or 6526 (IO chips used in the C64 and others that were notorious for burning out) would get a whole lot of retro-enthusiasts excited, as there are a bunch of FPGA reproductions of the SID which are way overkill.

Doing that would be possible by matching processes that were getting dated by 1980...

Method 10: Write an absolute piece of shit article on revue.

I often wonder what motivates people to write certain posts. This piece is filled with opinion and subjective and obviously wrong information, followed by nonsensical motivational fluff. I have no idea what makes the author think that this is a good use of anyone's time.
I don’t expose any information about myself online, especially to lefties, who knows what innocent remark will be cancel fodder in a week or two. I don’t need to be wheedled or badgered for not being aware of the latest trend, or for bucking it. For example, I don’t do pronouns. I don’t care what people want to be called, it’s an imposition on me. This right here is enough to get you added to the list at Google, for example.

> I prefer to measure value created and partially tie it to compensation, directly and indirectly.

How does this apply to team that maintains your source control and continuous integration systems?
Yes. By number of users, Gab is by far the biggest fediverse/mastodon instance. However, because people [including it seems the article author] don't agree with the views of many of their users, they pretend it doesn't exist. It's not even listed on various sites which purport to rank such things.

The irony of which seems to be lost on the creators of most of these 'alternatives', which trumpet openness and freedom from censorship. But only so long as the views you express coincide with their own.
In a way that's the case with every company. Each part is more valuable on it's own, unless it's more valuable together with another part. :P

Because measuring money is hard and it's not easy to apportion credit.

ActivityPub "evolved" out of ActivityStreams, which were an extension of plain Atom feeds. Basically it was an Atom feed with some extra fields.

PubSubHubbub/WebSub is compatible with RSS, so it's entirely possible to do what GP is proposing.
Super cool. Could it use a 3d compass to determine the "forward" direction?
Yes, and yet plenty of tools and products target that market anyway. Especially since while a good chunk of it is hobbyist use, another large chunk is small-run electronics where relatively high price tags can easily be justified. But even in the hobbyist space, while the people who would actually use the tools are few in numbers, many hobbyist projects get built in the 100's or even thousands - whether by end-users themselves or by people selling them to end users. FPGAs are often a good chunk of the cost of projects like that.

> The Rijkswaterstaat even goes as far as ...

the Netherlands are already below sea level today - they had to think about building defenses since at least the Iron age[1]. So I guess they have somewhat a head-start. It should be in their "DNA" by now, some kind of "collective cognitive muscle memory" (still for such a tiny country and floods being a real threat already since always even they have many climate change deniers). For small countries zoning solutions can be applied everywhere equally (from both an engineering and administrative view).

But Dutch dikes lend themselves poorly for comparisons against places that occupy the land of half a continent ranging from the arctic to the tropics and 6 time zones.

I'm not saying it isn't a useful model in select regions/countries. but considering how poorly managed public safety is in the US today[2] it sadly takes more than ideas to prevent major loss of life. From [2]:

"> You may wish to pretend that rising seas are a hoax perpetrated by scientists and a gullible news media. Or you can build barriers galore. But in the end, neither will provide adequate defense, the Dutch say."

"> And what holds true for managing climate change applies to the social fabric, too. Environmental and social resilience should go hand in hand, officials here believe, improving neighborhoods, spreading equity and taming water during catastrophes."

Millions will either be displaced or dead until the threat might be acknowledged. Even them I'm pessimistic considering folk on the ICU literally die of covid and still clam it is a hoax. I think the way people cope will be simply by tuning out the horror reports the same way we do today simply because the effects/damage will be distributed unevenly.

I think React has a bad vibe because articles promote adding redux with reselect or other complex systems to login forms or counters, thus normalising overkill.

Also, Svelte is amazing. It provides observables and computed properties which are very productive tools for state management! If you want them in React, `npm install mobx`.
And that is the responsibility of the display manager (and it is sort of what happens under gnome).
Systemd had as default KillUserProcesses (it may not be the exact name but it was something like that, I didn’t check it) set to true, and that caused many to hate on the whole project because I don’t know tmux and other apps that override the “normal” behavior on signals lost their sessions. So now it usually defaults to false, though I tend to override it to true.

The thing is, “with enough users someone will depend on both the public and private parts of your APIs” is true (and I am sure I butchered up this quote as well)
It seems interesting that, at least amongst people I know, the "deniers" about things like covid and climate change are also the first to believe daft conspiracy theories.

Why are some people so resistant to one set of idea and so open to other ideas?
You missed the point, being: “Economic value” can't “pay” for anything, because it's a “spending” (you pay with what you earn, not with what you spend). From an economic PoV, “economic value” is a spending, and “natural resources” (including work) is the earning. When someone is building/designing an iphone, he's not building a MRI scanner, and the energy consumed in the process isn't going to healthcare either.

Is it possible for the same hardware to be QLC for some data, but then TLC, MLC or even SLC for other data on the same chip, perhaps to get faster write speeds or more write cycles for some of the data?

If so, it opens up a lot of optimization possibilities for strategies to maximize performance and lifespan
