Coworker who lasted two weeks at Amazon before quitting, “I saw a poster that read, ‘You can work, smarter, harder, or longer, but you can’t pick just two.’”

When they called to find out why he wasn’t at work on Sunday, and told him they don’t usually give stock grants to people with such a limited investment in the company, that was the end of it.

If you’ve ever been in the parts of Seattle they’re in, they tend to take up the whole sidewalk. Different coworker called them Amholes. After working a contract there I figured out it isn’t because those people have huge egos. It’s because they’re zombies. Surprised more of them don’t get hit by cars.
And these 50+ nations have their very own industries that grew out of a demand for them to the scale of the demand for them with interdependence reaching all the way into Chinese tech manufacturing.

If you retool all of that to suddenly do something else, than you will be missing something else.

Because it's not like these 50+ nations with over $40 trillion in GDP are just sitting there and wondering what to do with all of that productivity, they are already plenty busy doing those things that got them all that GDP, the things they are good at.

That's why it's not really a "straw man", as the original argument implies globalized supply chains that emerged out of a given supply&demand could be artificially transplanted and rebuild in "the West", however that's even defined, to somehow reverse the reality of globalization.
Yes! We've updated our landing page but our docs pages are still not updated yet. We chose total spend because our value is helping businesses manage spend. We also only have one benchmark - $100k/mo in spend. Our gauge is that anyone who spend more than $100k/mo are able and usually willing to be on the $100/mo plan.
I’m happy to see docker get a little more lifeline.
Indeed. Just looking at the M1 Air (which I am quite tempted by).

$999 Starting Price. tempting

+$249 +265Gb SSD (and a 8th GPU core)

+$200 +8Gb RAM (to a reasonable 16Gb)

+$200 +512Gb (to a nice 1Tb)

So that's $649 for a 768Gigs of SSD, 8 Gigs of RAM (and a GPU core). Cost of 1Tb gen-4 and a stick of RAM is about $200
It sounds really useful, but it's a non-starter if I need to give sensitive financial data to some startup where any engineer can probably log into the DB and check how much money I have left.

I saw a tweet recently to the effect of "I'm not sure who I'd rather have my data, a giant megacorp or a startup with 5 employees who can query the DB from their laptop." I think this is a good example of that.

I would use this if it included encrypted data storage with client-side computation, and/or was self-hostable (you can still charge a license fee!)
Think pragmatically: who would we help by trying to "get back at" an abstract corporate entity for bad things "they" (not even the same people) may have done nearly 100 years ago?

What we're talking about with Amazon is taking steps to actually fight transgressions that are happening right now.
The X220 is nowhere near an "absolutely perfect" design, it's way too wide. I still use one as my daily driver, but come on. The screen bezels are huge, the keyboard stretched to fill its wide footprint, and the power plug juts out the back where it gets stressed against the floor in any cross-legged, or other tilted back usage setting.

The X61s was far closer to an absolutely perfect design, it just needed less plastic in the chassis. Things started going downhill with the X201s in the transition to wide aspect ratio displays, and X220/X230 arrived at full retard on that trajectory.

The new object type being promoted from preview feature is just the record type. Records are still Objects, they just provide a low ceremony way to create an immutable object holding some data.

I see these record classes in the same category as enum objects, an evolution of the language to improve developer ergonomics.

Upcoming is inline-classes (previous called value types.) When this happens we'll have a true "special" kind of Object, one that does not have any identity. The motivation here is mostly performance.

Do you have an example of this setup?

As far as I know git worktree is just to have different branches of the same repo checked out in different locations. At least, that's the only way I use it (and it's great!). Are you suggesting to have different projects on different branches? So an empty "master", then "project1", "project2" etc. as branches?
I disagree. It's the over-regulation that calls for these pain in the ass implementations.

> The next year, John Steinbeck, who grew up in Salinas, spoke of them in his short story "Flight."

Ok, but "spoke of" in a short story in the same sense that I'd buy a good luck trinket with a stone that has "healing vibrations" on a vacation.

If Steinbeck thought anything more of the tale than a mere, "Heh, isn't that neat," he would have ruined the ending of Grapes of Wrath by having Dark Watchers show up and kick the plantation owners' asses.

It reminds me of that Norm MacDonald joke about the difference between a hypnotist "convincing" someone on stage that they're a chicken and a person actually being convinced they're a chicken.
> Even if being an immigrant is correlated with higher rates of some crime, an algorithm cannot take that into account without bigotry. Imagine being an innocent immigrant.

That's insane. Men commit 99% of violent rape, imagine not being able to say that. And I say that as a man, innocent of rape.

Similarly, if people with dual-citizenship smuggle more you're wasting time by treating everyone equally when looking for illegal imports.

> If the algorithm tags you as guilty, no amount of explanation about averages or neural nets are going to make you feel better about your erroneous charge.

Yes, any black-box trial is crap. But a transparent algorithm based on real data that a certain subset of the population is more likely to commit a crime, which is used for proper planning and investigation, is not.

> Our language around probability doesn’t help either. We say things like “being an immigrant makes it /more likely/ that you will take some action”. There might be a correlation in aggregate data but in any individual case we can only look at the relevant facts. Think again about being an innocent immigrant. Would you accept someone saying that /you personally/ were more likely to have committed a crime? Of course not!

You have one proper point about terminology and then an appeal to rage.

You are right that nothing my demographic does (men, raping) makes me more likely to rape. But you're wrong later where you say "[claimed] /you personally/ were more likely to have" because, yes I (by the nature of being physically capable of rape) am more likely to have committed it than other people. To me I'm not a statistic, to you I literally am a population sampling.

> Would you accept someone saying ...

If they're right, yes. Otherwise you're just saying that my outrage should trump the truth.

If a woman wants to organize a women's only bus, or hotel room, because she fears the harm I as a man could commit I shouldn't have the right to force myself on her.

> This is the reason “stop and frisk” was such a huge deal: it let the cops “racial profile” for drugs, meaning that at any time all black and brown people were more likely to experience 4th amendment violations by the cops.

No, the problem with stop and frisk is that it was (allegedly, I'm not from there) used by racists to target black people. If it was used as commanded by an algorithm then it would only happen where data showed an actual correlation.
> Even roads covered with a solid sheet of ice would be no problem in a FWD Camry.

I was with you till that last sentence. Have you ever actually tried to drive (or walk) on a solid sheet of ice? I was involved in a freak situation where the temperature plummeted suddenly after a few hours of mixed ice/water/slush precipitation. The roads and any other concrete flat surface were coated with smooth ice. We sat near a curve and watched all the 4WD vehicles come along and slide off the road. Wherever people were in town that evening they had to stay there until morning.

True sheet ice cannot be handled by any combo of FWD or 4WD without perhaps studs or chains. Even then it is sketchy. Fortunately, that kind of ice is fairly rare on a large scale. However, patches of ice are common and that creates many problems since drivers may not recognize it.
Nice and simple solution for letting people know how much time is left on the break. I may use this during my next online dungeons and dragons session (which tend to go for a few hours and require some breaks).

A few years ago, I got my grandmother an iPad. She used it for years until she passed. I just powered it on yesterday and it now "requires activation", which won't complete via WiFi. All the data on it, e.g. pictures, is now inaccessible. It is, effectively, bricked. I'll sooner eat a pile of shit before I ever touch or recommend another Apple product again.

Edit: To clarify, it was never locked or password protected before, and I would use it to look at pictures in the Photos app locally. I hadn't used it for several months.
kind of an aside, but what's the best practice for pushing and building separate projects in a monorepo?

say you have a structure like:
projectA
projectB
sharedUtils

Each time you push you might have a build for projectA and projectB but it builds both each time you push to master. Ideally you could use Git to see if anything in projectA or sharedUtils changed to trigger projectA's build and same for projectB, but I'm curious what others are doing.
Well, this is what we get when financed by Scam-a-con Valley companies.

I've personally been annoyed by this. About six months ago Cricut wouldn't let me open if I didn't update the software but my WiFi was having trouble working to get the connection long enough. As a result - I had to wait an entire day to use it.

Docker's implementation is instant if you accept, but takes an eternity if you only want essential cookies. That seems in violation of the ePrivacy directive which according to the official website [1] requires that you "Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place."

I guess it's for the courts to decide if requiring the same number of clicks but letting you wait for an eternity is equally easy, but I doubt it.

> So no, you did in fact call them stupid, not their comment.

I mean, fine, if we're going to be grammar nerds, let's do it. "Stupidly" is an adverb. It applies to the act of phrasing not the subject doing that verb. At the moment that the person was doing the phrasing, they were doing something in a stupid manner, but that doesn't necessarily imply that they are themselves generally stupid.

For example, I can "randomly choose a card from a deck." That doesn't imply that I'm a particularly random person.

We're not dropping prices in NA in good part because our governments are dysfunctional and don't want to intervene, and because large landowners see such interventions as contrary to their benefit.
And besides, relaxing zoning is far from enough - you need to build vast and performant public transit systems, and in the case of Tokyo you need to make housing a depreciating asset.

Yes - and as I said, this is the defective programming in minds of Westerners. The government does what we tell them to do and most people want this. It's everywhere - it's the entitlement to a suburban home and the subordination of all other interests, even the concept of personal property, in service to this. The fact that the media doesn't discuss these things in spite of the fact that smart people like Warren and others write about it is evidence of the bad programming.

South Korea was not a democratic state during most of its crucial growth period either - it was only after a revolution in the 80s, and even then democracy is a very gracious word for a country that was literally ruled by a cult for half a decade.

Taiwan also was in quasi-dictatorial KMT rule for most of its rise, and Japan to this day on the national level is basically ruled by the LDP in perpetuity.

Is it your contention that these countries aren't democratic and prosperous today? Is that your claim? Is your claim that their citizens live in near slavery, as the previous poster's was?

But crucially, Japan, SK and Taiwan aren't where the kind of production China does happens. They are just as economically beholden to China as we are, sometimes moreso.

The company that I worked at previously had to assess manufacturing alternatives to China in the wake of Trump's tariffs. Most of the parts on the BOM could reasonably be sourced by other Asian countries like those three at a small premium. US manufacturers either weren't available or were completely priced out. If the West could even just get their manufacturing costs in parity with those three - TW, SK, and JP - that in itself would be huge progress.
I guess am not aware of any evidence of "rich people take all the wealth".

I know there are organisational structures in which all kinds of people cooperate to create wealth which is then distributed along to clearly agreed and understood rules to funders, investors and workers. They are called companies and all participants are adult, informed and consenting.
It is still absolutely fascinating to me how we have arrived at a point where in order to use one's own device properly, one has to ask a US company nicely or be unable to do so - and people pay money for it. On macOS, it is now impossible to distribute a VPN or a virtualization software without permission from Apple. 30% of the world's population would, if their government cut a deal with Apple, be unable to install a certain app at the flip of a button (check Spain's Catalonia referendum or Hong Kong, etc.). I really do hope that some EU regulation will force device manufacturers above a certain market size to allow a) sideloading apps and b) allow different browser engines as boycotts seem to no longer work after a certain amount of market penetration.

I think the biggest gathering is: bivector.net

It has a discourse and a discord.
points are a pretty poor proxy for the amazing variety of skills, proficiencies, and perceptions of humans (or even animals), no matter how sophisticated the point system might be. it also paints an illusory objective sheen (aka ass cover™) over a highly subjective evaluation. you might believe in the point system if it favors you, but that doesn't make the point system any more transparent or "good".

we're just not as fungible as nearly a century of mass industrialization would have us believe. we devalue humans by trying to bucketize a set of skills and buy only those skills on the labor market, despite the vast richness that each person brings to the table. that we allow the labor market to be commoditized this way is already a huge imbalance between worker and corporation. we need fair and transparent labor markets for people, not corporations.

Terms like "parasitize earnings" don't sound like seeing both sides of the equation. Why's your anger and blame focused there for not seeing both sides?

what makes it the absolute market leader

What makes it the absolute leader is the void left by a dismal IE, and a completely lost Firefox, a few years back. Today's lead is coasting. I don't know OSx, but perceived performance in Linux/Windows is not any better than today's Firefox/Chromium derivatives, if any at all.

You keep saying "harmless", and keep missing the point. If you don't want data to be used against users, don't collect it. And use explicit opt-in for everything.

This argument is like the classic _well, if you haven't made anything wrong, why do you care if the state collects that much info about you?_. The problem is not being harmless today. Is that, when the moment of being harmful come, then it's too late.
Offtopic (I think), but I just learned that "For instance, git worktree add -d <path> creates a new working tree with a detached HEAD at the same commit as the current branch." (from the manpage).

It's offtopic because the second worktree has a detached HEAD, so that doesn't help in the case you mention.
The metamessage to me, especially in light of the Crypto AG disclosures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-...), is that backdoors have always been the principle means of signals intelligence.

Intercepting the phones, tapping the lines, listening on broadcasts, surveilling deaddrops, compromising encryption, are all far easier than the computationally hard work of cracking strong crypto.

And LEO / Intel don't like to break a sweat.

It's simply not true. The whole business model of Spotify is that of any other internet business, selling a zero-marginal-cost good for a subscription fee. It would be more complicated to implement a per-user breakdown, and maybe slightly more expensive to run that analytics pipeline, but at scale there's no way the additional management costs would outweigh the benefit to smaller artists. The cost of that more advanced analytics job is going to be absorbed over the entire user base to the point where it effectively costs nothing in aggregate. The real counter point is probably that it was either easier to implement the current solution (from an engineering standpoint this is true, it's much easier to aggregate and scale their payment pipeline once per-geo-region) and there has been no push for change, or it favors larger artists and labels who have the bargaining power with Spotify.

as what's stopping these musicians to make music independently and market using internet along the way avoiding these labels. It is not even the case that music can be listened only via monopolistic mobile app stores.

I have used small independent service providers for tax filing, lawn mowing, cleaning and myriad other services by finding at internet. They are not backed by big corporate chains. Why music has to come from big labels.
