There's a good chance the person you are replying uses git commit --amend all the time to modify commits in conjunction with git add -p.

No, hg amend -i is much worse than git add -p. I do that when I have to use mercurial and there's significantly more mental overhead to make sure I'm not accidentally modifying a commit I did not intend to modify. Creating a "temporary" commit before I have a complete change is also annoying.

And once you need to add a file, you're back to having a staging-like concept.

IMO the staging area is fundamental complexity.
Honestly I'm not sure what management is trying to do.
> not when accounting for a higher level of crime. In fact, whites are more than half of police victims, while causing way less than half of violent crimes.

Although we have certainly spent decades polluting the world with reckless abandon, the issues outlined in TFA don't have much to do with pollution. It's about water use, more specifically excessive water use, not pollution.

When people use the words "Apple" and "monopoly" it's more often about the iOS walled garden: because there's no (good) sideloading, Apple has a monopoly over app distribution on their mobile devices.
> Then I run my own hard fork which awards 10X block rewards to all blocks produced by me.

Since your blocks violate my and everyone else's nodes' block validation rules, which among other things stipulate a fixed minting schedule (which you did not adhere to), your blocks are never accepted -- they are treated as invalid and dropped. QED your attack fails.

I honestly thought you knew better before I saw your reply.

> I post my forked code on github and tell everybody it's an upgrade.

Since I'm intending to install "Bitcoin," it is a reasonable assumption that I know what "Bitcoin" is. So, it's possible for me to read your code, and determine that it is, in fact, not Bitcoin, because it does not have the same minting schedule.

Note that knowing that the software I'm running adheres to the rules that make up "Bitcoin" is sufficient for me to bootstrap my node and validate the Bitcoin chain, assuming I am able to connect any/all public Bitcoin nodes (regardless of which fork they see). Even if I join the network while the network is partitioned, my node will eventually determine which of the partitions' forks is the canonical fork all by itself, because the rules of Bitcoin stipulate that the valid chainstate with the highest cumulative PoW is the canonical fork.

However, this is not sufficient for PoS, because in PoS, someone must also tell me out of band which fork is the canonical PoS chain, should the network ever partition into two competing networks. This is because there is no way to examine the chainstate itself and determine which conflicting PoS fork is the canonical fork, even if I can reach all public PoS nodes for all forks. Each partition can plausibly claim that the other fork was rightfully slashed for being offline for a time before my node joined. Because I didn't personally see the offline behavior, I have no way of knowing which partition to trust, if any -- someone who was there to see it must tell me. That's "weak subjectivity" for you.
It is not how everyone uses language. I do not use language that way. If you used language that way, you would be dishonest. It is how dishonest corporations use language.

That was fascinating. Gibson-esque in a way.

“A fanbase which had taken to his grumpy, anti-celebrity persona, or were perhaps driven by schadenfreude, urged each other to vote for him and “let him 996!” in reference to China’s digital industry culture of chronic overwork - 9am to 9pm, six days a week.”

The second option is accurate. As you fall from the event horizon to the singularity, you see the entire future of the universe unfold since all arrows of time now point toward the singularity so as you move along it, you are moving in time.

This is one of the things shown in interstellar before he hits the tesseract and they go into pure speculative scifi. He gets bombarded with extremely energetic blue shifted particles as he moves through time while falling.

Regarding what happens at the event horizon, your question is slightly inaccurate in that the photon is what you observe so it doesn't emit anything. If you assume, say, a torch falling in facing toward you, the reason that it feels delayed is ofc that it has to move out of the gravity well of the black hole. I haven't thought about the question myself, but basically think about the entire set of photons your torch emits and assume it is a magically resilient thing that never tears apart.

Then it emits a fair few trillion packets of energy before it crosses the event horizon. Most of this is caught in the photon sphere and never makes it out (depends on incident angle and some other calculations I forget).But we will assume photons are ejected in one line out on some radius vector of the black hole. Then all photos ejected before the event horizon will eventually escape and you will see them. The last one is supposed to escape asymptotically as you approach the horizon but it is only constrained by how much energy it loses traversing that piece of space time from the event horizon to infinity (i.e. where the observer is located).

So we can deduce that it gets emitted at some point in time. We assume infinity to make the math easier but real life is quantized so it'll likely be sooner than that. I can't do any better than that unfortunately.
It seems like time insensitive freight is absorbing 100% of capacity, so the spot price is going vertical. Big customers are getting most of their freight booked, but no slack is hurting ad hoc shipments. Like a short squeeze.
A similar question is around what size training data do we have where we know works had different authors.

Most the US southwest seems to be organized around the concept of water rights, typically measured in acre-feet.

Even though this assignment of rights is rather old and has a multitude of problems related to the way it doesn't describe current usage patterns, that's not the biggest problem:

it doesn't help to have the water rights to 300 acre-feet on your property if that water doesn't exist!
I will happily pay $30/month for Mighty. The browser is literally where I spent 100% of my time. The pattern of hosted/virtualized browsers is well understood for over a decade but mostly built and delivered poorly for the low end of the market.

The form factor is limiting though. You don't have to worry about power consumption on a desktop, you don't have to worry about heatsoak or throttling. The problem was they were stuffing full desktop intel chips in their thinnest computers ever, and people were expecting that their new 6-core i9 macbook would translate into real-world performance gains.

But yes, pretty much every intel-based laptop in recent years has suffered from mediocre CPUs.

I don't think there would be many complaints if Google didn't take down apps for vague reasons.
Months. Certain very large companies hire engineers into a general pool rather than to a specific team, so once you've passed the interviews they don't mind too much if you put off actually starting work.
Aside from noise cancelling headphones and a roomba, paying for YouTube to avoid ads is the best quality of life improving purchase I have made.
What they're trying to say is that for example, let's say it takes you 10 seconds to load a webpage because of about 100MiB of assets to download and process and ultimately render. It could possibly take them <1 second to download all the assets and render it and then send you the right DOM elements immediately.

EDIT: No clue if they're just streaming frames to you or they are giving you DOM elements. Latter would be cool but more annoying to pull off.
I think you and your friend first should start work at the warehouse. Then, possibly we should make everyone rotate timeshares in factories, warehouses and fields, and then maybe we'll have our utopia when everyone understand each other and lost all humour.

It worked in China, clearly, so why not in the US ?

Joke aside, fixing people joking about each other is a lost battle. Listen to them speak about diversity behind closed door (I'm a minority in the country I work in, I hate these things so much making me feel different when I try to integration and assimilate), it won't be utopian paradise-style speech either.

Let the warehouse worker mock the headquarter, let the headquarter mock the warehouse, it's not the problem and will happen within the border of whichever gradient. Parisians mock Normandy, Europeans mock Americans, Aliens mock the Earth, your friend's office mock the field workers...
It’s not dishonest because it is language used with a certain intended meaning and that intended meaning is clear to everyone including the people complaining about it. That’s precisely what normal, honest usage of language is: you have an intended meaning and you effectively convey the intended meaning.
That is the nature of captchas by design. 2000s captchas can probably be solved by off the shelves OCR.
If these so called underpaid contractors skilled enough they can definitely look for another job or try to get hired directly in Google or other companies.
- Nobody has forced them to slave at contracting positions.
- Contracting positions definitely pays better than flipping burgers
- It's about supply and demand - If they have skills in demand they will get paid well.

I am sure you also outsource some aspect of your life as it's either not your core skills or expertise, similarly nothing wrong if these big tech outsource non core business aspect to contractors.

Skew your resume toward you as a "solution builder" or "online business builder" vs. wordpress or PHP developer of which are dime a dozen.

Building successful solutions and helping to evolve a business is inherently more valuable skill to the guy who signs a checks.

If you're facing overzealous interviewers nitpicking your coding skills or short cycled in forcing you to solve stupid puzzles in record short time - it is likely there is a disconnect within this organization on what is really important and you'll be wasting your valuable time agreeing to work there.
It's going to be fine, we will reach peak population soon enough then population will fall, fewer homes and urban areas will be developed farm land will sit fallow.
Software coding interviews can be extremely subjective. I have seen someone rate similar responses vary differently based on their overall assessment of the candidate. It’s also extremely difficult to be equivalently helpful when answering questions.

Even deciding what’s a fair assessment is difficult. Should you give someone more slack if they haven’t used a language in 2 years, but remember most things well enough?

No. There will always be inequality.

But we're already running over budget on the resources we do have, https://www.overshootday.org/newsroom/past-earth-overshoot-d....

Unless we want to accept some kind of extreme depopulation events (either by choice or by systemic failure) then we have to learn to live a lot more efficiently than we do now. And the long term costs of running suburbs are not fully internalized to the people choosing to live like that.

There's a ted chiang story that stuck with me. It was about a tower of babel so tall that bringing building supplies up takes days. Or maybe its a Borges story about an infinite tower so repetitive to climb that slight variations start suggesting a mind in the stone.

Exactly. A MSM outlet whose own content is dubious and is no stranger to exercising their own self-entitled "opinions". These opinions could be reasonably construed as slander in a world where an individual could stand up against them in court without going broke.

But let's play along and assume that everybody else's speech is the problem. Citizens don't need MSM fitted, woke muzzles.

The co-opting of internet providers to mete out draconian terms of service that strip the individual of their freedom to express ideas needs to be criminalized.

Racial equality is a moot point since there are no races. Everyone can even make their children a different color/race by simply "marrying" someone of the desired color/"race".

Removing the idea people are segregated in races, a fight long won in Europe, should maybe be the first priority in America. I still can't believe pollers are allowed to split vote intention by random color groups (I'd be ok with segregating by "descendant of slaves, recent immigrant from africa, recent immigrant from Canada, things like that - but "black" means literally nothing at all).

I've seen coworkers that I'd describe as neuro-typical work in a similar way sometimes. But the tendency to alternate between periods of difficulty focusing and periods of hyperfocus is a recognized trait of ADHD. If you're interested in learning more I'd recommend Hallowell's book, the one I read was "Delivered from Distraction" but he might have a newer one. Just read the first couple chapters and if it resonates a lot then it might be worth getting tested.

Jarvis Network: Bringing Decentralized Finance to Everyone
It seems like 68% [0] of rape prosecutions result in a conviction. And that’s higher than the 61% rate for violent crimes.

So it seems we’re pretty good at convicting rapists, it’s the arresting that we’re bad at. And since RAINN [1] estimates that only 230/1000 are reported to police and of those only 43 lead to arrest and 9 to prosecution. If the ratios stay the same, then if we reported every rape then convictions would increase 4x.

The take away your card system doesn't work with phone payments. That's one reason why they haven't really taken off in the USA.

A lot of chain restaurants now use tablets to let you pay right at the table, and usually they support contactless payments.

Fast food restaurants have also started accepting contactless payments by and large, although it can be quite awkward in the drive thru.

This seems perfectly reasonable to me and juries are explicitly picked so they aren’t familiar with cases before trial. If a potential juror knew of Gacy, they would be excluded.
> I want anyone that pulls my repo to have my hooks etc by default.

That would be a security vulnerability. Hooks in git are not sandboxed, so you'd have arbitrary code execution in the machine of anyone that pulls your repository. In fact, some of the worst security issues the git project has had were ways of tricking it (usually through case-insensitive or normalizing filesystems) into setting arbitrary hooks.
You can't have a functional organization if you spend a substantial amount of socializing dealing with disagreements that make teamwork difficult.

If Chris doesn't like Stan because he worked in the military industrial complex and it makes it hard for both of you to work, you've just made the team and its dependents dramatically less productive. And at the end of the day you have changed fundamentally nothing about the core issue.

Companies have limited capital to be weird, to deal with difficult problems, and to take risks. And while some things can and should deserve attention, for 90% of things it will be business as usual, everywhere. The 10% that changes in different organizations is what matters.

I read the person's letter and looked at her profile. I'm going to take a prejudiced guess and say that she doesn't sound like a person that's easy to work with or willing to compromise, and when reality hits the wall that you have someone who's killing team and management morale, there isn't much more to expect than a prompt firing or suspension.

Some people are revolutionary activists willing to burn everything down instead of compromising; others are suck-ups and bootlickers that do little things but won't raise their voice. In the real world there's a huge range of positions on how to change the world. You can't expect an oil company to drop its oil wells tomorrow and switch to green energy investments in one year just because you demand it as an employee. If that's your expectation you're far better off resigning and working through political channels to kill off the viability of oil.

She should have frankly realized that her values don't align with the management and that she could A) accept that she apparently won _many_ battles and do the best to keep the political capital necessary to work on what matters most, or B) decide that the differences are irreconcileable and leave.

If he didn't do anything illegal, then your suggestion that she poke his eyes or break his finger is entirely misplaced. You don't get to hurt people when they're not legally a threat to you.

Never mind how ridiculous a suggestion that is. Do you think maybe she made the rational decision not to risk her safety or even her life by escalating a fight she likely couldn't win?

That's blaming the victim. You can say you don't think she's at fault, but picking at her choices with no consideration of the situation she actually faced isn't "feeling for her."
Marijuana was legal in California for recreational use when that episode was filmed. Practically speaking, the Jeff Sessions era DOJ would prosecute you anyway if you were selling because they'd claim you could sell to non-Californians, but they had no cause to prosecute California residents for personal use and never did. We'll see how the Merrick Garland DOJ ends up treating it.
Also, 50% of the highest-paying customers bring more than 50%of the revenue, by definition. Often much more.

You may not need everyone jump on your service just yet, you can start with the most needing it who are moneyed. Then you expand, economies of scale kick in, and you can introduce lower and lower price tiers, and people enjoy falling prices and getting a bargain.
