Yah, talk about doing the right thing for the wrong reason but still beats many alternatives. Also way up on my list is spreading good rumors without sharing the source: "someone... I'll never say who... said this nice thing about you!"

Anything can end at any point, including this precious life. Relationships ARE special though. Sometimes you get glimpses where you know it isn't gonna work out (and if you're red-flag aware... it won't take long). In that case, yah... look at those exits and appreciate what led you into this potential disaster while you can and learn.

BUT.

BIG BUT.

If this relationship has a chance then you have to throw the exit strat thinking out the window. That doesn't mean go get joined at the hip, but self fulfilling prophecies are a thing. If its a good thing, your partner will absolutely see you have one foot outside and hedge bets accordingly. Have faith! Not that you won't have problems, but that they will be worth overcoming.

There's a great blog entry I just read about this, "On Politics At Work". I think the author effectively hits on a real problem with a lot of these discussions.

https://json.blog/2021/04/26/on-politics-at.html

To some folks, "politics at work" means "endless battle royale political debates among coworkers in a Slack all day long; why wouldn't you be against that?

But to others, "politics at work" means "are we paying women and men the same for doing the same job?" and "are our recruiting practices leading to a non-diverse workforce and missing out on great people who should work here?" and "what problems does our company sole, and for whom?". These are really important questions. Why wouldn't you want to bring them up at work?

I'm giving Basecamp the benefit of the doubt and assuming they're trying to stave off the former. But it's not that easy to do that without also affecting the latter, because if you ask questions that boil down to is our company discriminating, even unintentionally and do our LGBT and minority employees feel as safe and valued as our straight cis white employees, someone will be super upset that you're "bringing politics into the workplace." (I guarantee someone reading this is thinking "ugh, 'cis' is a slur, why you gotta be so political," and, bang: somebody has just made recognizing the existence of trans people into something inherently political, and now we get to argue over whether that somebody is me or the cis-is-a-slur guy.)

Here's a thought: if your goal is to try to keep company Slack channels civil and focused on work, then don't say "don't be political." Say "keep company Slack channels civil and focused on work."
What do you mean "what about"? Isn't it obvious - you don't talk about these interests at work. What's unclear about that? Is there something in your employment contract guaranteeing you the right to talk to your coworkers about anything that interests you? How would you feel if I spoke to you at the watercooler about my hypothetical interests in the supremacy of the Arian race?
Because if you made women pay, the pool of women would shrink considerably and there would not be enough women for men to message to. Ideologies of gender equality aside, simple observation shows that dating is a women's market. Not even just with humans as biologically, women have a lot more to risk (risk of pregnancy, risks associated with being physically weaker etc.) so they choose while men present themselves and try to "woo" them. Of course not always, but it is a very stable base to build up on. If they made both sexes pay, I bet platform owners would earn a lot less as fewer messages would get exchanged overall.

On Politics at Work
I don’t think so, for a variety of reasons. But one of them is that managers and HR reps are often keen to just make a problem “go away” - so coworkers agitating over that problem is often required for any substantial change.

Notably, the US tech workforce is almost entirely in unionized, as well - so that avenue isn’t available.
It seems strange because the comment is an obvious lie.
does the book explain why it doesn't use unification?
From the official support document for the Smart Data feature:

> 5G Auto: Enables Smart Data mode. When 5G speeds don’t provide a noticeably better experience, your iPhone automatically switches to LTE, saving battery life.

Having used an iPhone 12 in an area with 5G service, I haven’t yet noticed the phone reporting LTE speeds, but given the way the statement above is worded (‘noticeably better’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting), I wouldn’t be surprised if the phone is mostly on LTE when it’s sitting idle or when I’m doing something like web browsing or music streaming that’s otherwise well within the capabilities of an LTE network.

As someone who grew up in Europe and lives in the US now, the whole "credit" thing is still weird to me anyway. In Germany at least, credit cards are mostly only a thing because they are convenient to pay with online, and then often behave like debit cards (paying directly from your bank account) anyway.

Everyday shopping happens with debit cards, bills are paid by wiring money.

When I came here, I "built credit" by paying everything by credit card and making sure to pay off the entire bill immediately to not incur any interest penalty, but when I read stuff like "always pay off the credit card with the highest APR first", my head's still spinning.

The BMW M3 is a different car than the BMW 3 Series. An M3 is as much a 3 Series as an Alpina B3 is a 3 Series. It is ambiguous in this situation. I had to read the comment several times to figure out if it meant that somehow BMW was selling more M3s than the whole 3 Series lineup.

I don't think it is so simple. As a rule of thumb, sure.

But space is supposed to have been expanding while the light was in transit, so 13 Gy-old light has travelled way more than 13G light-years, and the object that emitted it is "now" dizzyingly farther away even than that. (Scare quotes, because simultaneity is meaningless at such a distance; and it must be outside our light-cone, so can't really meaningfully be said to exist in our universe anymore.)

I am not clear at all on how light experiences expansion of space, as that seems to require time, and light travelling in vacuum doesn't experience time.

Light emitted only a billion years ago has traveled only a little more than a billion light years. But what's a few million light-years, extra, among friends?

It's sort of fascinating the segmentation thing here.

They put it into the "premium sedan" segment when considering sales vs. competition. But in the same presentation, you'll see that most (I want to say two-thirds by eyeballing the chart) of the customers buying Teslas are trading in non-premium brands.

Imagine someone designing a bridge. They predict that the weakest point is X, and that the bridge could therefore best be strengthened by strengthening X. But the reasoning is complex, so someone builds a model (or a simulation, or...) and stresses it until it breaks. If it broke at X, then the design was a success.

A different kind of example: I once owned (or my wife did...) a food processor, which if you weren't around back then, is cannister with a motorized blade. A part that connected the motor shaft to the blade broke. I took it to the place with the repair parts (this was before the internet), and was told this part frequently failed. I asked why they didn't make it stronger. The reply: if it was too strong to fail, then when you were chopping something that was too hard for the processor, either the motor would burn out, which would be expensive to fix, or the blades would snap, which could be dangerous. The engineer therefore included a relatively frail part to serve as the cheap and safe failure point.

Another one also said,

"Reverse engineering objective-c code with heavy QT framework usage makes me seriously doubt my life and career choices."

I guess the same applies with C++ with heavy QT framework usage.
You don't need a refund. Just presume an efficient market of such companies, where the matchmakers who actually make matches have better reputations, and the ones who don't quickly go out of business. That's how most single-shot service-provider businesses work. (At least, the ones with clear success criteria. Psychics and the like never lose reputation, because there's no standard to measure their claims against.)

The one thing single-shot service-provider businesses (including professional human matchmakers) will do, though, is to calculate a quote for their service, corresponding to how much trouble they think your account is going to be for them. They don't usually bill more if it turns out to be even more of a challenge, but they do refine their quote process after each experience.

Though also, back to refunds: a refund guarantee doesn't need to be part of an explicit business-model, to be part of the effective business model. Dating sites charge people's credit cards. Large one-time charges from unknown companies you don't have an ongoing relationship with are exactly the type of thing that banks/credit-card companies are happy to do charge-backs for. Whether they offer refunds or not, the system will offer refunds for them — and kill their business by taking away its payment-processing if too many users ask for said refunds.
LaunchServices definitely cares about extensions. The Mac OS has a strange history with extensions (classic Macs didn't really support them, but they were still a common convention), but file extensions are more than a browser-level construct.
Should I pay for recruiter fees out of my own pocket if I want to send a recruiter to an HBCU while I'm at it?

I'm not going to do a diversity spiel, but I have had the "would be nice for our team to have different kinds of people" discussion before, and part of solving that can involve more focused recruiting efforts (including stuff like sponsoring those kinds of events). It's totally a work-related thing. Why would I pay out of pocket to help my company hire?
Not defending this Basecamp's policy, but their goals as a company are vastly different than Atlassian's, so it's not really a fair comparison. Which do you think indexes higher on employee happiness?

Unlikely, MySQL does not have transactional DDL (like CREATE TABLE).

How does the 10% profit share work?

Do they take 10% of profits and divide them equally among all employees? Contractors? Full time? Part time? Interns?

Does someone know how the profit share works?
Thank you, if possible, would like some more clarification, since I'm still a bit confused (if not more confused) after reading this.

Are you suggesting this isn't an introduction of new regulations per se, since it was always a deceptive statement?

Or was the law actually changed by this California department specifically because of what Lambda was doing?

I get that the finance agreement was "innovative", but either it's dischargeable under bankruptcy -- or it's not -- and if it IS dischargeable, language implying that it is not dischargeable is deceptive. My understanding is that they have no power over bankruptcy proceedings, so whether they would LIKE it to be dischargeable or not bears no interest here.

This isn't some heavy-handed regulator stepping in and stopping innovation -- as a private for-profit business, you simply can't twist existing federal law around student loans to your benefit here, and that's always been the case all along. Deception aside, which I believe the word for is "fraud"; there's been a history of predatory financing around education. I was happy when it was DeVry University getting the book, and I'm also happy when it was some "cool" startup company as well.

You could run MySQL in a container? Start a container per test-run and create a database per test or test suite. If your code is written well, you'll be able to change the database that your DAO/ORM/Query-layer runs on quite simply, and execute/ensure migrations from code.
A lot of people are down on this idea, but what about the argument that these schools are failing to educate half of their students by tracking them into low-expectation classes?

If you decide in the 6th grade that a student is not going to make it academically, you're perpetuating a cycle of failure.

Dividing students into tracks and providing different resources to each track is a great way to provide a separate-but-not-equal experience based on race or class.

Part of this post's change is that Basecamp (as a company) is pulling back on publicizing political stances that aren't directly related to their business.

From the follow-up post @ https://world.hey.com/dhh/basecamp-s-new-etiquette-regarding...:

>Next, Basecamp, as a company, is no longer going to weigh-in publicly on societal political affairs, outside those that directly connect to the business. Again, everyone can individually weigh-in as much or as little as they want, but we're done with posts that present a Basecamp stance on such issues.

>Note that we will continue to engage in politics that directly relate to our business or products. This means topics like antitrust, privacy, employee surveillance. If you're in doubt as to whether something falls within those lines or not, please, again, reach out for guidance.

The founders obviously have strong political opinions on a lot of topics and I think it's great that they're going to express more of them personally instead of expressing them through Basecamp (company).
I worked at Atlassian and it's the exact opposite of the changes described here. The internal Slack (née Stride née Hipchat) was a cesspit of time-wasting political activism bullshit.

My point is that some people consider my equal participation in that conversation to be inherently political. My point is essentially that anti-lgbt folk will dehumanize the conversation under the guise of “no politics”. Or at least that they could, and that it sure used to happen an awful lot, and it wasn’t that long ago.
He made the claim during the Q4 2020 earnings call for Tesla in January 2021: https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/01/27/te...

An investor asks “Why are you confident in L5 self-driving before the end of 2021?” and Elon goes on to explain why he is confident that Tesla will achieve L5 self-driving by the end of 2021.
Is that notable? Most car purchases are upgrades from less expensive vehicles. Are BMW trade-ins less likely to be non-premium?

I guess it's possible that Tesla is different here, though if it is, doesn't that argue to the brand's strength? It's getting people who wouldn't normally drop $50k on a car to open their purses.
The thing that really confuses me is they keep pointing out that the research was done in fall of 2020.

Like that matters.

Often. Speech, art, and culture do typically encompass politics, because politics are a social activity and therefore a primary concern of the humanities. But the argument that these things are therefore inherently political is specious, and (in my opinion) a product of the increasingly facile approach to the interpretation of art and culture in education that focuses exclusively on the teasing-out of supposed hidden messages and ideologies. (Twitter doesn't help, either.)

In mirroring our lives, art and culture encompass layers of complex action and symbols that cannot be reduced to a singular message or call for political action. They are the process by which we sift through an opaque mixture of confusion and contradiction every day, searching for meaning.

However, if you wanted to argue that award shows are inherently political, I'd probably agree.
I am totally on board with this. I get extra subsidy for health insurance at work if I walk 7000 steps a day - $750 per year.

I was already walking over 10k steps daily for years. But what if you have bad knees or live in a dangerous neighborhood or simply don't like walking?

That to me is paternalistic behavior. If you want subsidize my health insurance, just do it. But I don't need my employer to be my mommy, no matter the intentions.
While I share your concern with the legislative branch handing over its lawmaking authority to the executive branch, the rules really don't change on a moment's notice. There is a defined rule making process which all federal agencies must follow, which includes a significant public comment period. The real problem is that regular people don't have time to monitor notices of proposed rule making or submit comments in the right way. So the process ends up being dominated by lobbyists, special interest groups, and unaccountable bureaucrats who are pushing their own agendas.
The issue I see here is that Jason Fried and DHH state that this decision lands solely with them. Giving Basecamp the benefit of the doubt is impossible until and unless they center marginalized voices and give them positions of power at Basecamp. Otherwise this decision is cowardice wrapped in some arbitrary policies.
What's missing in your description is the timeline. Note that the term was first introduced by Sean Ellis in 2010, and according to Google Trends it peaked in usage in 2014. At some point (2014?), it became a buzzword and suddenly every marketer started using it. So in 2021, when someone puts "Growth Hacker" on their resume, you draw a very different mental picture than you did in 2010. Is it fair to put the 2010-people into the same bucket as the 2021-people? I have no idea when and why Austen was using this term. But calling him underhanded for that reason alone comes across as biased.

Btw, "growth hacker" is not the only term whose perception changed throughout its lifetime. Here's a fun one: PHP. Actually, many other technologies suffer the same fate (Java, Rails, etc). Sort of related: NoSQL.

* 2.7K supercharger stations, +41% versus a year ago

* 24.5K supercharger connectors, +44% versus a year ago

* 92 MW of solar generation deployed in Q1, +163% versus a year ago

* 445 MWh of solar storage deployed in Q1, +71% versus a year ago

* Revenues of $10.4B in Q1, +74% versus a year ago

* EBITDA of $1.8B in Q1, +94% versus a year ago

* Over $17B in cash on hand

* New S, X, Roadster, Cybertruck, and Semi models on the way

* Berlin, Texas, and Shangai-expansion gigafactories coming online

* Four additional gigafactories already in development

Wow. Just... wow.

--

[a] And that figure understates growth, because it includes a 10K decline in S and X deliveries due to the upcoming launch of new S and X models.
