I just can’t help but think of this movement as a kind of gaslighting. Your reports are either engaged because the work is interesting or the product is meaningful, or they are not. Attempts to sugar coat will fail just like how construction workers making a bridge to nowhere out of Popsicle sticks will inevitably start asking reasonable questions. Maybe my experience at some relatively cutthroat teams at Amazon color my opinion, since I have been in an environment where this kind of PS “happy-argumentation” was actually rewarded instead of just talked about.

In an optimistic mindset, “psychological safety” boils down to feeling secure in one’s job and in control of one’s project. When people feel secure, they free up cycles to creative, sleep better, enjoy each other’s company more, etc. when they feel in control they have the energy to constructively argue.

But when rubber hits the road most engineers do not have one of either security or control. At a startup they may have some limited product control but there is no safety. In a large company they may have more security but no actual control of the product. Either way, to promote PS and get a more engaged team, a manager has to downplay the reality of the situation. This leads to management allowing complicated pet projects, rewrites, and feedback meetings that go nowhere all for the sake of appeasing egos. Engineers tend not to be overly people-savvy but we catch on eventually.

I think it’s no better than the “we’re all a family” rhetoric. Just another way of trying to eke out more work for nothing in return. My last employer signed all employees up for an app called “happify” where we would get daily challenges to pop bubbles with stressful words on them or write praises to our coworkers. That strategy was so bald-faced that I had to kind of admire it.

So why are checked-out engineers bad? They are worse than bad, they are counter-productive. They push shit code because who cares? They don’t question obviously bad designs because they know there’s no point. They quit or move on leaving the team in churn-hell. But these are symptoms not of psychology but of reality. Spinozas Ethics is a lovely look into how psychology and reality are just two sides of the same coin, and you can’t fix one without fixing the other. As stated above, the solution is engaging work, but most work is not engaging. So let’s just be more realistic, ok?
This is a ridiculous statement for anyone even casually following crypto, I'm sorry. There's a plethora of innovations, so many it's hard to track.

Just a few popular ones right now: Layer 2 solutions with smart contracts (Optimism, for example), zkRollups, Stateless smart contract-based chains, proof of stake validation, chain sharding, proof of storage, proof of X (many new consensus algos with various uses being developed).

The list goes on. If crypto were the internet, we're not even at the NSF-net days imo
> sandbox the entire tool.

Sandboxing doesn't really help. The problem isn't that the tool is used to infect the rest of the system, but that the tool itself is compromised, the reports it generates are compromised, and and past reports may be compromised. Unless you're pushing that data outside the sandbox (which is a hole in the sandbox, and while much more limited might also be an exploit vector or a way to cause problems in the data) it's still fair game if the sandboxed tool is compromised.

There's multiple reasons to disclose it. First, because as another comment noted it attacks the credibility of the company, and credibility is very important for tools used in court.

Second, because their main goal is to protect Signal, not attack Cellebrite. Making Signal a problem to attempt to gather data about will possibly make them just blacklist Signal as an app they gather for. This could be temporary, but since Signal alluded to many exploits and that they have a bunch queued up for the future, it will always be a risk for Cellebrite to attempt to gather info from Signal, so they might just continue to skip it.

I believe you've got the cause and effect completely backwards. Someone that has a recipe site with no ads and no stories isn't in it for the money. In contrast, recipe sites with a ton of ads solely exist for the ad revenue—the recipes are just there as bait.

The difference is that the ad-laden sites spend 90% of their time getting their rankings up in google, the recipes are usually taken/copied from elsewhere and the big long stories are there to make the site look unique to Google, to fool it into thinking there's legitimate content there.

In the end, of course the person who spends all their time gaming Google is going to rank higher than someone who actually cares about their recipes and spends 90% of their time curating, experimenting, etc.

It's a sad state of affairs, but spammers have ruined Google.

Bitcoin is both volatile and has increasingly expensive transaction costs making it a bad vehicle for steady savings as well as a poor currency.
I can't help but wondering how many lives WhatsApp has helped.

And it is definitely NOT an SMS client. The entire reason it has become so popular is that it does not use SMS. Before WhatsApp - the govt in these countries - supposedly looking out for the common good - allowed telecom carriers (usually giant oligarchs) to charge OBSENE per msg rates.
You get much greater interoperability / a much larger market when everyone is on the same ledger, using the same protocol to exchange value. There are use-cases where a smaller more specialized ledger will be more optimal, but there is a very large set of use-cases for the 'financial protocol with a huge number of users'.
The public disclosure about the Apple DLLs could potentially be used to drag Apple into any legal case between somebody versus Cellebrite. The disclosure needs to be public versus private or under seal or whatever to absolve the Cellebrite counterparty of any liability from reverse engineering. Suddenly Apple is now in potential collusion with Cellebrite. Or maybe not. This public disclosure makes the threat of Discovery a bit less toothless.

IANAL but I could imagine Cellebrite has existing or pending litigation where this disclosure upsets their position.
One issue i dont understand is why they don't jack-up their prices.

I recently was trying to diagnose a bug with React state in someone else's project. Everything I found said "install the React extension". Okay but this thing boils down to just JavaScript right? I ultimately failed to find out how to inspect anything meaningful without the extension -- it's almost as if nobody knows how React works. The abstraction is bananas. Sure, JavaScript sucks but is this better?

I swore off massive impenetrable abstractions like React eons ago and I'm saner for it. Abstractions are supposed to remove complexity, not treat users like morons.
It seems that Spotify is under pressure to keep growing revenue, even at the cost of diluting the original purpose of the company. In an ideal world, they would focus on the glitches and bugs, and making sure new and old music keeps getting added to the collection. Nothing else is required. No podcasts, no ads, no videos, nothing.
If you are 5%-8% likely to get dementia as a baseline, but don't sleep enough, you're now 6.5%-10.5% likely to get dementia.

Out of 1000 people who live to be over 70 and sleep properly, ~65 of them get dementia.

Out of another 1000 people who live to be over 70 and sleep improperly, ~80 of them get dementia.

So an extra 15 people out of 1000 get dementia in the "sleep improperly" group.

Someone please check my application of natural frequencies!
The physical properties of 'non-quantum' computing are so baked in, in-grained, and abstracted in standard ways that we don't have to think about them very much -- and I think that abstractionism is the essence of the magic power of programming. But when I learned C it really helped me to know what was going on 'behind' the compiler, on the hardware.

As a programmer of apps and widgets I only need to know the rules of the game that my framework and language exposes, and I think it probably always helps to have a bigger context, but I think it is increasingly less necessary for getting stuff done.

With quantum, the entire stack is different. Like a computer from an alternate universe ;) So that whole stack has to be built up again.

But I think abstraction and encapsulation is going to allow many (most?) programmers to use the quantum computer without ever having to know what's going on behind the keyboard and the screen, just like our normal computers now.
> I will never, ever, understand the "online" status feature.

Fun fact: WhatsApp was initially just that i.e. It showed status of its users online and people started using it to share messages leading up to the development of full-fledged chat app.

We may be from the same country, Where peer pressure to have a WhatsApp account is so high that friends and relatives get offended if you don't have one.

So I have isolated WhatsApp to a android VM, it sends me an encrypted email of the incoming messages, lets know the sender the same and that they need to message me on Signal if expect faster reply[1].

How does one do this?
Parents get up at 6 to get their kids ready for school. Then take the kids to school, shower, have breakfast and then work until 6. Picking up the kids at some point in there. Then make dinner, family time and then kids go to bed at 8 or 9. Now you have the option of going right to sleep which is fine if you desire no personal time / partner time. But if you have your own hobbies or goals then you spend a couple hours on those and bang you are sleep deprived.
Yeah, that seems kind of silly to me as well. I don't claim to speak for them, but what I think the researchers were getting at was "right before Alzheimer's symptoms typically appear," including mild cognitive impairment.
My rent went up 5% two years ago, another 5% a year ago, and we just renewed at +33%. The housing crisis is hitting the rental market.
I started caring in 04 I think. There was a huge soccer/football push at the time in the states. A dedicated soccer channel even sprang up. I think I remember the whole excessive injury thing brought up a few times, but that's over 15 years ago. I think it was the season after the 06 cup, someone did a really blatant dive. I could swear Ronaldo, but he's dived a lot, so not sure. Anyways, it was during a huge string of dives in the league and I just thought to hell with the sport.

I get it, there's a want to avoid injuries. I respect that. Rewarding stupidity and blatant cheating was beyond a pendulum swing. Retro punishments isnt enough. It has to be consistent red card, ejected from the game, multi game ban if you're going to fix the image of the sport. Also, cant remember what it's called, but when they intentionally kick a ball into an opposing player so it bounces off them, then out of bounds so they can get a throw in. Yea, that I hate too. I watched a 70s MU vs Liverpool game, none of that shit was going on. Just a pure game. I think that was when I was becoming disillusioned with the sport, because I saw how it used to be played... like an actual fucking sport.

Maybe The Code from hockey needs to leak into soccer/football. That's a better way to fix diving and injuring strikers. Put the beat down on that player, continue the game. Itll sort itself out eventually. Until then, I'll choose a sport that has itself sorted out.
Europe would be almost wholly dependent on the US for defense against Russia. Just 3 or 4 years ago Germany had something like only ~10 fully operational fighter jets and literally ZERO operational submarines. The situation has improved slightly since then, but the military of most NATO members is puny. France and Britain are probably the only European nations that would provide any significant military force.
> However, I and most of my friends have had good results with combinations of sleep training and adjusting our own sleep schedules for additional buffer.

Bingo. Also don't insist on both being awake for every nighttime wake period and use a shift system, plus offset your go-to-bed times, and then, unless you're very unlucky or your newborn has some kind of illness, you're looking at 6ish hours of sleep a night with at least one night a week of 8+ hours (when you can each give the other a "sleep make-up night" to sleep in basically indefinitely, probably on a weekend).

Sleep train right, and you're gonna be doing this for 3 months, tops. They should be down to one feeding a night around IIRC 1 month, so it gets way better then.

3 for 3 on having our kids sleeping through the night (as in, we only have to wake up and do something if there's an unusual situation, and aren't woken up at all at least 6 weeks a night) by no later than 10 weeks. I believe some people do get unlucky and their kids just won't sleep through the night that early, but it's quite rare (again, unless your kid's sick, that changes everything).

Everyone we see having trouble with it is one or more of:

1) keeping their kid in the same room or same bed (no judgement on co-sleeping for other reasons, but continuing it past the first couple weeks seems, anecdotally, strongly correlated with kids who still won't sleep through the night at 6 months and beyond, and have trouble going to sleep in the first place),

2) pouncing on their baby the second they make a sound at night, even past the first couple weeks, at which point you should stop that and gradually increase your response times to waking/crying unless you want to train your kid to wake up a lot (by rewarding waking with attention, and not letting them learn how to transition between sleep cycles),

3) unable to handle "cry it out" for the 2-3 nights it'll probably take to finish the process, if you've followed the steps you should have to correctly reduce how often they wake by ~8 weeks or so (if you haven't, it might take a lot longer, but... just don't do that)
Your website needs to be more responsive; remove the start repair button as it makes no sense; you could've shown the results after we release the mouse. It turns me off, especially if I'm going to do something, and it interrupts me to create an account. For a lot of users, that is a significant turn-off. I suggest you remove the create account prompt.

I don’t see any risk though if you’re the first offer.
The nice thing is you don’t need all this stuff it’s just one persons opinion of what you need. It’s mostly that you get a bunch of extra functionality with it. Additive rather than required.

" understand pretty much everything of a person, or a group."

A quick note that I make my entire calendar public in terms of available times so that folks can schedule their time with me.
> My point is more that, colloquially, people usually refer to a VM in the sense of a guest operating within a Hypervisor.

Python, Ruby, Java, and JavaScript want a word with you. Bytecode VMs being called just 'VMs' colloquially is extremely common.
Oh, I love this line of thought! However, I'd switch it to be multi-modal, i.e. not just "median orientation of earbuds over time", but also ___.

Specifically, one more example, people need to use their AirPods with a TV because the rest of the household needs quiet. However, there are typically speakers already set up "correctly" oriented (especially with surround sound).

The AppleTV and AirPods could automatically communicate through the individual speakers (at frequencies we can't hear), to correlate the user's location/orientation in relation with the "optimal sitting spot, based on audio".

If I've learned anything from being wrong about crypto-tech for years, it's that proving negatives like this is really really hard, and it's typically the wrong way to approach a new technology.

There's really nothing to gain from nay-saying a new space like this, tbh. Much better to take the attitude of "hmm, I'm skeptical, but let's see where this goes, let me try it a bit, someone convince me why X is useful." Because if you're wrong, you'll find out sooner.
New Ways to Teach Japanese
Two things:

1. There's no financing to approve. Pre-approvals fall through all the time, and the seller knows that. They'll take cash to avoid having to start over.

2. Appraisals are coming in low right now because prices are changing so quickly that finding good comps is hard, and lenders cannot or will not loan for more than the appraised value. This could lead to the seller having to either start over or accept a lower amount. A cash offer is usually not contingent on an appraisal.

> Disney wouldn't be able to undo this later arbitrarily in this example

Simply stop revenue from running through a DAO. That's actually more or less what Disney did in that case ; they simply moved the books to another publisher.
You are reading my comment wrong. Those false assumptions are your own. I am not claiming that higher demand for renewables will lower prices. That may be true, but it is not what I'm saying.

What I'm saying is that bitcoin can use energy that would otherwise be wasted.

On your point 2, what are you saying? That it is cheaper to mind from renewable source than non renewable? I agree so not sure why you're saying otherwise. Renewable energy often produces more unusable energy than coal. You can control how much coal you put in the fire, you can't control how much sun or wind hits your panels or wind turbines. Energy that would otherwise be wasted is cheap energy. That's my point.
>Before 2009, appraisers would just appraise at the sale price because the real estate agent that hired them wouldn't hire them again if they didn't.

Appraisals are made by the lending institution. That would be a very obvious conflict of interest otherwise.
It's an error to see "ads or creators don't get paid" as the only option here.

OECD per-capita spend on all publishing runs about $100/person, roughly the same as per-capita ads spend within the same countries, itself a tax of sorts.

A natural gateway exists --- not a perfect one, but good enough at the level of the ISP provider.

Aggregation, not disintegrations, is the general trend in payment systems. Both buyers and sellers benefit from predictable flows, income or revenues.

Regionally-pro-rated payments allocate costs according to ability to pay, which for information goods is a net social benefit.

Rolling an information access fee into fixed line and mobile internet service, with an indexing of content accessed and a tier-and-bid based reimbursement schedule for publishers, seems to me the most viable path forward to something vaguely resembling a content tax, without actually going through a content tax mechanism. It would ensure universal access to readers and the public, compensation for creators, and the ability for those actually engaged in the process of creating new works to access the materials they need, legally and lawfully, answering in part the "why should I pay for information I don't use" objection: the inforation you do use is itself predicated on information you don't access directly yourself. The other answer to this rather tired objection is that you live in the world created by information access or denial of access, and in general, access to high-quality, relevant, useful information should be a net positive.

I'd proposed this years ago (and many others have similar suggestions), though noting ISPs as a logical collection tollgate is a new realisation.

I suspect many times the seller is also a buyer of a new house, and facing the same kinds of competition. So they need to close quickly on their sale to cover the close on the buy.
A little odd choice for marketing your project. This is definitely not an article that's positive towards blockchain.
>In a representative democracy, you wouldn't lock down and force people to starve - you would lock down and provide income/food/capabilities for people to live regardless of their social/economic status.
