> but to compare it to Russia is absurd

The statement was clearly about the relationship each country has with democracy, comparing not to each other but to what democracy should be. There's value in evaluating things against what they should be, not against an arbitrarily worse thing. It's the only way to see the flaws and look to improve.
Teslas do have black boxes. Whether they would survive a fire like this is questionable though.

Tesla's "black box" data is obtainable like any other kind of crime scene evidence, via court order.

It seems reasonable enough to me, but I don't own any land. I think I'm realistic enough to admit that if I had been born 35 years earlier and had two homes that I paid off in my 40's and had appreciated 350% since then, I would probably feel differently about it. It's a tough nut to crack, for sure.
What if the Cessna salespeople and marketing was all doublespeak about high G flying (allegedly the salespeople on the floor go way beyond doublespeak sometimes)? Yeah the pilot would be to blame, but in that case Cessna would also be to blame.
This has worked very well for me, too. I suppose it might start to break down if you're using some of the more complex AWS-specific offerings.

But if your function more or less resembles a little web app that maybe talks to S3 and DynamoDB, this works really well.
It's exactly what ArchView Firefox addon was doing (preview of RAR, ZIP and ISO files with selective downloading feature) in 2008 : http://archview.sourceforge.net/ - the only documentation left (after Mozilla anihilated traces of old extensions - what I don't know how to question, part of me is gone too) is the source code (clean and minimal javascript). Nice to have some reading for it.
It's how race is injected into the conversation; specifically, to paint the situation so that people of color are seen as victims (of white people). The story has to be told in terms of the Oppressed vs. the Oppressors, and race is the key dividing line.

It's too bad that the topic isn't covered from a non-racial, economic perspective. But, it's negative emotion that drives reader engagement.

> I wonder how much of serverless is just AWS firing at Google (and Heroku, DO, etc) and other competitors.

It depends on what you mean by "serverless". Serverless webapps? Sure, maybe a fair bit. But the real killer feature of the Lambda service is that it's a universal extension mechanism for other AWS services. Want to run some shoddy virus scanning whenever an object is added to a bucket for compliance reasons? That's a lambda. Want to manipulate Firehose records before they are sent to the sink? That's a lambda. Want to execute some crazy Python function from an Athena SQL query? You guessed it. That's a lambda.

So when you say "It certainly hasn't made my life as a developer easier" it means you haven't needed to do these bespoke gluing together of stuff, because "being able to do this somehow" is infinitely easier than "not being able to do it at all because AWS hasn't exposed an API for this use case".
A good colo provider can hook your machine to a masterswitch, serial console and put a PXE server on the LAN (or just stick an ubuntu livecd into the drive) so you can solve many problems on your own without relying on IPMI or asking remote hands to help you.
Does it? This is the same issue it's always been: things catch on fire sometimes, we've decided that the best people to handle this are firemen, paid for by the local government.
1. You are using Google logged in.

2. You are using a credit card and expecting not to be identified.

Everything else is details.
Product Manager here, I set a lot of meetings.

Basically make sure there’s a very clear goal for the meeting and very clear bounds on what is being discussed.

For me, I put an agenda in every meeting invite I send out with:

1. The purpose of the meeting

2. Bullet points on the things to consider

3. The end goal. What is the point we stop discussing

Part of it is also keeping people talking about relevant things.

It’s tough being the person who says “this is a great line of thinking but it’s not relevant to X” but in the end it helps make timeboxed meetings actually stay timeboxed.

Also, depending on the context, often it’s helpful to pre-align with a few key people who might cause potential struggle. Don’t pre-align with another meeting though. That’s just redundant.

> Now, obviously telco equipment can be used for spying, but there's absolutely no allegation of wrongdoing here at all.

That's incorrect. The report made by Capgemini stated that there were clear boundaries as to what Huawei was allowed to access but they violated those boundaries. Apparently also a list of numbers under surveillance by Dutch intelligence was found in possession of Huawei. Which was clearly well beyond those boundaries.

Just like a sysadmin can read the mail of the boss doesn't mean your allowed to.
I wasn't referring to cost as, yes, it's definitely cheaper to just rent some servers.

The operational overhead of provisioning them, configuring them (and so on) is really difficult for a lot of teams though.
> no agenda

Have a agenda. Contribute to steering conversations into completing the agenda, once done, finish the meeting. Write down notes of everything, publish to team members / everyone in the company. Try to have less meetings and more focused ones to complete specific goals. Everyone who is in the meeting should have a purpose for being there, otherwise they shouldn't be there but still can see meeting notes if they want to.
Yes, I believe that submission was triggered by submission I linked to.
Make an Agenda.

Send said agenda to everyone preferably the day before the meeting.

Also make the meeting small enough that everyone can be asked to engage with said agenda.
Huh. I always assumed it was because they looked a bit like a confessional with the two doors side-by-side.

Many years ago I worked in Viscount House (since demolished) at Heathrow Airport where there was a paternoster lift. One day a workman tried to take a wooden ladder through it - it didn't fit. The result was... loud.

I thought it was quite fun to use, but for years after I had minor nightmares about being in the thing with various things going wrong. My subconscious apparently wasn't a fan!
I think the point is that paying 60% of income in rent is unviable. You need to find a different job, a cheaper apartment, or move somewhere else. Maybe all of the above.
I definitely feel the growth of meetings has been a bit insane since WFH started.

Here's what I do:

1) separate technical meetings from process/operations meetings and clearly spell out the difference

2) Write in a narrative format what it is you're trying to accomplish and distribute this ahead of time. Doesn't have to be the often lauded "Amazon 6-pager", but if you can't explain what it is you're trying to accomplish in words you need to think about it a little more.

3) do not be afraid to throw someone else's name down as the owner for a specific action (but make sure to follow up if they aren't/can't be present)

4) Designate primary and alternate owners for actions, and make it clear when you need the primary and when the alternate will suffice. This helps with a) meeting fatigue and b) the increase in volume of meetings caused by no more water cooler talk.

5) do not take critical feedback about meeting structure personally. This one was hard for me at first, since I'm used to more formal structures, but there is no "pure best practice" for meetings - especially in a WFH environment. It's an iterative process.
Every potential access or potential hack is newsworthy then. That’s about a million articles a day then. Which would mean it is not newsworthy then. Everything is a potential this or potential that by the reasoning.
Going to be frank... I don't believe you. I don't believe that you're lying, but I don't believe that you can accurately linguistic details about conversations you hear (and you probably have even less accurate memories of conversations if you are a participant!).

Linguists use audio recordings to make transcripts and analyze the audio later... because people are exceptionally bad at remembering what they actually hear in real conversations. When linguists ask subjects questions about what they heard or said in conversations and compare the subjects' answers against the transcripts, the subjects' answers are often a poor reflection of the transcript.

This explains why you are not alone in thinking that it's jarring... the human brain is simply not good at remembering what is actually said in conversation. So you'll forgive me if I defer to the experts.

If you look at what linguists say about the present tense... well, there's a lot of ink spilled over the past hundred years. Transcripts of casual conversations show that people in real life telling stories set in the past will freely switch between present (the "historical present") and past tense so freely that it's almost shocking to see it written down. There's relative agreement that the present tense doesn't really indicate that something takes place in the present, but it's used more as a contrast against other tenses. This makes a lot of sense, because it's exactly how tenses like the pluperfect work--the pluperfect tense does not make sense in isolation and cannot be understood as referring to a specific point in time without context. The same is true for the present tense.
Well some parents make mistakes or unpredictable situations happen. That is hardly unusual in a house with pets or kids. It is expected. Of course you should design with that in mind. A bunch of warnings that no one reads is no excuse.
That covers the number of times vehicles have caught fire. It doesn't reference the cause (e.g. spontaneous combustion vs. as a result of a crash).
There were several in Stuttgart. One at a Uni building, which I've heard is now defunct. Two are in the Stuttgart Rathaus. They may still be in service.

I was showing my son that the floor will fold up so it won't cut your foot off, but I did not see the switch attached. The floor edge folded up, the switch stopped the Paternoster and sounded the alarm. I apologized to people there that there was no real problem and waited a few minutes for them to turn it back on. My son told on me when we got home.

The term for an opportunistic escalation in pricing (of a critical commodity) due to a rapid-onset shortage is price gouging.

Like many US markets, local rental prices have ~doubled in the last two years. As in every case of price gouging, sufficient supply would have prevented the opportunism that is presently causing broad harm.

Huzzah for supply and demand, I guess.
This is a much better way to do it imo. The 5 minutes at the end is usually just a courtesy, and the interviewer isn't expecting to get grilled.

Some (not all) hiring managers even treat this as an additional way to assess you, to see if you're the type of person who has done their research on the company and asks intelligent questions.

Much better to set expectations upfront and ask for half hour chat with the hiring manager (or even other team members such a tech leads) separate to the interview.

'accidentally'

Like, there's no problem with going around the top. At Sheffield, the mechanics are all hidden away enough that the risk of catching something is fairly low. These areas became a site of illicit advertisements. Some of the best raves were publicised with posters over the top, for example.

The bigger risk is that the lift stops while you're in the top. Even then, it usually gets going within 20 minutes.
I like the general idea of having less meetings. I try to cut time down for meetings I am responsible for. However, there are ~10 hours of meetings each week that I need to join either because:
1. There is an expectation by management that I should be there in case they have a question (often they do not).
2. I join to make sure I do not miss the critical pieces of information that I need. That is often five minutes out of sixty minutes. But it feels that often written content ahead of time (such as the amazon approach) would alleviate that need.
Do you have any advise on how to deal with inefficient meeting culture by others?

How do you use anonymous feedback? We do not have any tools in place for this but I do like the idea.
It's (it! You said it yourself!) not a plural, it's a singular company.

It's perhaps clearer if you add a description of the company:

Some tips I've been learning:

- Be ruthless about when you need to have a meeting. Its generally only if you need three or more decision-makers to come to a consensus on a strategy to solve some problem.

- Be ruthless about who you invite; it's usually only people who have something explicitly to contribute or who you know wish to be included.

- One person leading/driving the discussion, making sure to keep things on topic and within timeframes.

- A clearly defined agenda and goal, ideally written up in the invite message.

- Take very brief notes of decisions made and immediate actions, conclude with a rundown of these and follow up with them by email.
I think the idea is to run a regular http server locally that forwards requests to your lambda handler function for the purpose of testing. When you actually deploy your lambda, you just hook up the lambda handler function and leave the http server out of the picture.
You don't seem to be understanding what I'm saying at all. Let me try again.

Sales managers specifically focus on sales, they manage internally and have people underneath them. Similarly, engineering managers focus on engineering, manage internally and have people underneath them.

Product managers don't have people underneath them, they don't have reports (except for other product managers). It's a fundamentally different position that is explicitly cross-departmental.

And the idea of product managers existing without sales/engineering managers is nonsensical. Who would they talk to in those departments then?

Of course everybody tries to add value. But the point here is that product management is the only position that is explicitly cross-departmental, precisely to prevent departments from making decisions that seem to make sense internally but don't for the company as a whole.

Because experience shows that, without product managers, departments often do make decisions that make sense for the department but don't for the business as a whole.

At very small companies, the founder/CEO is often the de-facto product manager, but once you reach a certain scale you need to hire product managers to handle all the lateral communications and decisions, while the CEO focuses on things at the top.

Does that makes sense now?
These are probably the two best interesting aka "seemingly not in wide use" ideas we've tried, with great results:

- create a culture of actually RSVP'ing for meetings (yes or no!) so that people know who will be in a call and you don't waste 5 minutes wondering if X will be joining or if anyone will be joining at all. Pairs best with a culture of actually being on time for meetings and ending on time (so you can all be on time for the next one).

- to facilitate this, if you have a good agenda, people can opt out of coming if there are no relevant topics, or in some cases they can share their feedback on to a colleague or the organizer who will pass it on to the group on their behalf. As a result of this process, some of our "best" (from today's point of view; they used to be the worst in terms of getting through the agenda or understanding if this instance will be relevant to you) meetings have morphed into an actual commitment to have every participant spending 5-10 min to write down status updates in advance, with 2 minute actual "live meeting" check-ins: "anything besides the notes we all left for eachother, to discuss?"

This second one has been especially effective for our distributed management team in very different timezones where "overlap" meeting times (usually beginning-of-day-US/end-of-day-EU) are at a premium. You can do a few of those ("whole product team + stakeholders" "whole back-end dev team" "all engineering managers") meetings in one traditional-meeting time slot if you keep the agenda razor focused.

Visual C++ to my knowledge does not support incremental or parallel compilation within the compile unit. It does support incremental linking though, and parallel compilation of multiple compile units that don't depend on each other. Features which both clang and rustc have btw (well clang only concerns one compile unit, so the parallelism depends on how you call clang, but many clang calling build systems support parallelism).

No idea about C++ Builder. Do you have links to documentation to back it up? I'm curious :).
Hence, a shortcut.

I think you highlight a weakness of formal "tell me about a time" type questions generally. They are more about testing the framing (spin) abilities of the candidate vs the underlying competencies you ask about. That is largely how the questions in the article feel to me as well.

I have interviewed a lot of people, and been interviewed now and then, and in both cases I think the best info, especially about less definable things like culture, comes out through informal discussion rather than single questions. So actively breaking out of the Q and A style and getting a discussion going is how I would approach learning about the culture.

I'm British.

(And The Economist's 'Style Guide' 10ed. concurs. (I'm not being selective beyond the extent to which I already am by only having that style guide.) It is of course a global publication, despite 'being' British, but it's entry on 'Americanisms' makes it pretty clear ('sparingly') it prefers a BrE starting point. I can't find anything more explicit on that.)
I think you're on the nose here.

The public ownership rental option goes nowhere without a capability to acquire (and retain) properties for the programme, and the ability to move unproductive or underproductive real estate into same.

California's property tax situation (e.g., 1977's Proposition 13) makes this an all but unsolvable problem for that state. Short a countervailing proposition, a (state) constitutional amendment, or a state or federal supreme court reversal, that law is going nowhere, and is pretty much a Land Value Tax's antiparticle / kryptonite.

One potentially promising alternative is the growth of land banks, mostly in the Eastern and Midwestern US, notably Illinoios, Ohio, and New York, possibly elsewhere. Though not based off a land value tax, tax-delinquent properties are acquired by the land bank which then attempts to return them to productive use. Pairing the land bank and public ownership rental models strikes me as a potential viable route to expanding both concepts.

My point is:

Water 1c change is 4184 J/kg (1 kcal)

Water to steam 2260 kJ/kg.

So 25c cooler is 25 * 4.184 kJ extra, which is:

25 * 4184 / (2260k + 75 * 4184) = 104600 / 2573800 => 4% more energy than 25c to steam.

And then you need a refrigerator to cool tons of water, instead of just carrying more water.
