Here is a good read on that

The Unexploded ordinance teams (UXO) do an amazing job. I was there backpacking in 2004 on a bus and was stopped in a traffic jam on a remote mountain side, loads of army looking people about. I had no idea what was going on and the locals couldn't explain... then a huge blast went off up the hill. What was striking was 1. how close the thing was to a village, 2. How dense the jungle was around the area for these things to hide and 3. How normal this process seemed to the locals looking at their reactions.
Really not.

Prior to the big buzz about drones, and DJI buying full page ads describing how their software can load no fly zones, avoid nuclear power stations, prisons, flight into people etc, nobody was ever concerned with some random Chinese gizmo.

And then he made people in places of power to read all kinds of scary things, to which they reacted in the most usual to them manner.
I’m referring to his use of the word in his new book (which he is serializing for free on his substack), “The Elect: Neoracists Posing as Antiracists and Their Threat to a Progressive America”. [1] The first place I saw the term used (he has also used it on the Glenn Show podcast).

Regardless, I came not to blame him, but to praise him.

Though I do agree with Kmele Foster’s insistence that the term “racist” is well and good enough to describe the type of segregationist thinking and reification of the fiction of race that is promoted by so-called anti-racists.

Ok, but how is that relevant to making Basecamp better?

In a hot labour market you take much worse employees because you can’t get anybody better at the price you’re willing to pay.
The article correctly points out that a lot of these bumper returns are based on the low interest rate environment. Wonder what would potentially trigger this stock market (and other asset classes like crypto) bubble to burst other than just raising interest rates by the FED. Any ideas if these proposed new tax regimes could prick the bubble or any exogenous shocks like a bombing and invasion of say Venezuela.

It really is easy enough in practice. As tech folks, I know we as a group naturally hunt for edge cases, but I can say with complete confidence that everywhere that I've worked that put the kibosh on politics/personal during everyday business discussion was a much more humane place, for everyone, to work than one where such limitations weren't present.
The main difference is Apple made it work way better and more accessible. Tile users are pretty rare in the wild.
> tweak tax rates until it balances out.

that just makes the whole system inefficient - the rich pay a bunch of taxes, then try to obtain all of those benefits for having paid those taxes to try even it back out.

So why not just tax less, and let them spend the money directly?

One problem is that if management, especially owners, feel like control of the company is being wrested from them, they'll get pretty radical in the course corrections.

If the ISPs win i hope they start giving grants for non-profit community ISPs (or some other way to replace / compete with the ones so against low prices after years of subsidies and broken promises. Though, it does seem odd to force them to have low rates. (not to mention all the people without connection to those ISPs). Surely they could have come up with something, or maybe things are so messed up with subsidies etc that they figured why not.

You're absolutely right. Just because disrespect to other children tends to be tolerated in schools, it doesn't mean it should be.
This quote from the article explains the danger quite well:

"Intel's suggested defense against Spectre, which is called LFENCE, places sensitive code in a waiting area until the security checks are executed, and only then is the sensitive code allowed to execute," Venkat said. "But it turns out the walls of this waiting area have ears, which our attack exploits. We show how an attacker can smuggle secrets through the micro-op cache by using it as a covert channel."
People have posted the steps to do it. It’s not very hard. But if you are willing to strip the airtag to bits, it would be easier to plant a cheap android with a sim in someones car.

The point is that stalking has always been possible, it’s only important that apple doesn’t make it way too easy. Also when you find an airtag you can bring it to the police and they can get apple to give the owners details. Removing the speaker shows proof of intent.
So, no competitors?
i've driven dozens of cars in my life. only recently have i gotten a car with a touchscreen (a 2020 civic hatchback).

The touchscreen is a completely insane device for use in a car. You have to look at the screen to use it. All my previous cars, you can adjust the climate controls, music, stereo etc, while keeping your eyes on the road. With this car? If I want to change the ac mode i have to hit climate and then, staring at the screen, touch the image of the button. On my last honda I knew I could run my fingers over until I hit the second/third button of that row and that was the one I wanted, all the while I had my eyes on the road.

It's dangerous! It's absolutely terrible industrial design and it should be against the law.

Mcdonald's HK app has 1M+ Downloads, but it's the worst app I have ever seen
Mcdonald's Hong Kong app has 1M+ Downloads on Play Store, but it is the worst app I have ever seen.

I tried to get a Mcdonald [1] order for my family earlier this morning, when I download and start using the app I encounter these issues:
- Got 1 error prompt out of each 3 button click, technically all basic features, from onboarding users to ordering food have bugs
- Weird UX, e.g. they embed the iOS Style Picker within the page, with full width, making it really hard to scroll [2]
- Took like 15 minutes to fill in a 2 mins form due to bugs (This normally kills 60% of the conversion)

It is commonly thought that a good platform-ish app should be having great UX, stable tech and of course delivering business value. I cannot believe that an app that is built by a big corporate has such bad QA on UX and tech, there are 10+ app features inside but none of them is really ready for production. Usually this happens when seniors are rushing to launch an app and telling the team not to care about good UX and QA. As a developer I feel quite sad about it because we are always told to deliver great products.

It is also highly possible that Mcdonald's HK App has bought the downloads and reviews, below is my hypothesis and assumptions.

Do workers who receive tips want it to go away? The friends I've known who worked jobs with tips seemed to think they would be paid less if tips were replaced with wage increases on the employer end; my understanding is that they made a significant amount of money in tips. Obviously this varies by individual, job, and establishment, though.

There some restaurants that tried to go no-tipping, but I think it didn't work out for them because they had a hard time finding/retaining staff.
TFA mentions the current warranty has qualitative wording around what the company gets to decide is "normal" usage. That may be objectionable but I don't think they're technically changing it, but perhaps clarifying in newer warranties. I'm definitely not defending any positions to be clear.
The US parties aren't really a place to express yourself. They are highly corrupt. It would be nice if the US system allowed for smaller parties to be viable.

Agreed. Previously I could not find lost or stolen items. Now I can find lost items. That’s a pure improvement in my eyes.
Mcdonald's HK App should have lots of people talking about it in HK, but I have never heard anyone mentioning about Mcdonald's App. As there are 1 Million downloads shown on the play store statistics and as there are around 8 Million people in Hong Kong, it means there are 1 out of 8 people downloading Mcdonald's HK app (excluding iOS). And given the assumptions suggested from Statista [3], HK has 91% smart phone market penetration rate, and iOS:Android ratio should be around 4:6 (which should be 7:3 from my personal experience). It could mean that 1 out of 4 people in HK will have this app downloaded, either on iOS or Android, but I haven't heard from any of my network even mentioning this app. (Note: This app is meant for localization as its main feature is for local delivery + the name of the app itself)

A usual case for half of your friends to mention the app can already be achieved when there is around 100K - 500K Android Downloads. Two good examples are ZA Bank[4] & LIHKG[5], ZA Bank has only 100K+ Downloads on HK Play Store, yet I hear at least 30% of my network talking about it, 70% for LIHKG. This is why I kinda conclude that Mcdonald's Hong Kong has bought certain amount of downloads.

Adding on to this, when I'm checking the reviews on play store, I see that 80% of the 1-2 stars reviewers are local and more than 90% the 5 stars reviewers are non-local, concluding that they are buying 5 stars review.

It seems like Mcdonald's Hong Kong's company rather spends a lot of budget to (they also did lots of promotion like giving out Dispenser for orders more than HK$60), instead of spending the same budget/ part of the budget to improve the app.

Why is this the case? And is this the case as well with Storj?
> salary progression after the first 10 years is generally flat for IC level

that is expected, if the salary matched the value creation of an IC. There's a limit to how much work one can produce.

The reason management has a higher progression is because they do different work, and thus the ceiling is different. But a ceiling does exist.

The only "work" that has no ceiling for compensation is equity ownership.

There's a difference between being completely apolitical in the workplace and being engaging in 24/7 political advocacy that infects every single issue you touch. I used to work with a guy who was a devout Christian. He would wear his cross, and everyone once in a while would say something like, "with God's blessing". That's okay. He didn't construct an altar next to the cash register and give sermons while zealously trying to convert every customer and employee and demand that we tithe 10% to the church. If he did that, we would have told him that it his behavior was not appropriate for work. It wouldn't matter how passionately he believed in his religion, or how critical he insisted it was that everyone was "saved". Its just not appropriate behavior for the workplace.
Last I checked every business involves at least one customer if it's going to survive. Maintaining lists of "funny" customer names is inherently related to the business.
Its not the heat. SSDs wear out after repeated writing. Some more quickly than others.
No I don't.

Someone saying that name/pronoun choice is "shoving a lifestyle down their throats" is not being reasonable and is being an unreasonable asshole on purpose just to make a point. At this point you tell this person to shut the fuck up or get the fuck out.

Telling someone how you should be called is not unreasonable. You're still allowed to roll eyes in your head, but calling them anything else is behaving like a petulant schoolchildren. There's no place for that in a professional environment. Just accept and move on with your life.

If a business goes bust, those losses can be written of at tax time. A worker losing their job faces homelessness, the inability to see a doctor or pay for their medications, and hunger.
Chia 'mining' is done in two phases. You create a 'plot' once which is very CPU, memory, and above all disk write/seek intensive. Then you can 'farm' that plot with low resources.

Its the 'plotting' that chews up SSDs.

We're not opposed to GraphQL at all. We use PostgREST because it's very low-level. It's a thin wrapper around Postgres. It uses Row Level Security, works nicely with Stored Procedures, and postgres extensions (like PostGIS).

Philosophically we want to focus more on the database-centric solutions, rather than than middleware-centric solutions. This means a slower time-to-market, but it's beneficial because you have a "source" right at the bottom of your stack, and you can connect whatever tools you want to it (including Hasura!)
say what? Someone cleaning houses, or working as a cashier is pushing political views? Is a McDonalds worker putting 'big beef' industry ideology forward?

Most jobs have nothing to do with politics as most people don't have a true choice/luxury to be choose. Often people have to work, or starve/be homeless.

Most jobs out there are not political. That includes building a simple email client.

You can run algorithms deterministically in a multi-tenant system. Only allow tenants to run deterministic algorithms and side-channels are eliminated. Algorithms with provable time bounds can be run and the output delayed until the known time bound to eliminate timing attacks.

Doesn't seem to be that much of a material objection. Is it true that NASA isn't required to have more than one company for a contract?

i dont think that's true.

re-education and re-training into higher value work is a better investment. it's just that education of adults isn't funded well by society, and thus the debt load for that re-education is too expensive for the benefit.

I would argue that society should have a funding system where if you re-trained (may be in some category of work that society determins to be useful, like nursing), the cost of that education is only going to be placed on you if you earned above a threshold wage after graduating from training.
Did you read anything about this? Nobody thought this was a good thing. Jason/DHH apparently addressed it multiple times over the course of months. A group within the company refused to move on, including someone who participated in making fun of customers.

>With Chia, anyone can farm with minimal electricity cost (after plotting).

Having a low barrier to entry probably increases negative externalities overall. Not sure what your point is.
We have a pretty healthy forum growing over at https://chiaforum.com if anyone is interested in getting into chia plotting and farming.

The coin will start allowing transactions on Monday, should be interesting to see it play out price-wise!
I am basing my opinion on my eyeballs walking around with my own feet. Please stop basing your worldview on denial and delusion.
Almost no taxes are based on negative externalities.

I'd love it if that changes, but productive activity is primarily what's taxed, unfortunately.
