Yes, you pulled a word game to justify your position from the outset and are restating it. I disagree. Just because you consider it important to every part of your life, doesn't mean you need to bring it up in your job. It's not an overriding thing for everyone else who doesn't share your level of alarmism and the outlook that economic, gender, racial, sexual issues define every part of your existence. I'm at work - I don't want to care about any of your racial, sexual, etc issues. I will treat you professionally and I want you to do the same.

>The main point of my comment is that saying politics is "not related to the job" is both ahistorical and incorrect, very much in the same way that ethical concerns relating to building bomb is just as "related to the job" as what material the bomb's shell ought to be made of.

Then find a different job. Maybe with an NGO who shares your causes.

>Let's take a step back; are ethical concerns part of "the job"? Why or why not?

Ethical concerns are part of my profession, but they don't define my life and my ethical concerns don't define other people's ethical or professional concerns.

Just treat people professionally and don't bring identity politics into the workplace.
I dunno, see people are non-white, and some people are political.

Some people are LGBTQ+, and some people are political

Some people are non-binary/femme, and others are political.

Having engagement people who's idwntity is political is valuable when you consider how much of the population is non-white, non-straight, people of color.

See, we can both play this game. It doesn't nothing for us. It's literally the core reasoning behind Basecamp's "no politics at work" move.

Notarization is nothing except Apple making sure they have visibility into the tail end of their ecosystem.

Remember the days of Windows 95 when you could make an application, sell it to a person in your own town and nobody in the world knew?! Not anymore!

Now Apple has to know that you made an app and get an exact copy of it, just for safe-keeping.

Generally, you would look to a datacenter line of SSD which is rated for much higher endurance. These are typically overprovisioned much more than consumer ssds in order to meet the endurance requirements.

I think most OEMs opt not to let you choose this sort of thing and rather bury it into the drive firmware.

Determining what clockspeed you're running seems like it would also require access to timing information though, right? RAM errors is an interesting idea for sure, but I think that can and should be shored up at the RAM level. I think a strong sandbox, WebAssembly and the like, should be pretty reasonable to run untrusted.
That's what I mean in the other branch about more refined approach than an absolute "no politics" hammer. Where/why would someone say that multiple times in the company slack (never happened to me despite working with lots of muslims and lots of gay people btw)?

If they say that as a reaction to a gay man posting somewhere "I'm out of office next week as John & I are getting married" than answering this with "with all due respect, as a Muslim I can't support you getting married to a man" is out of place. If they repeat after being called out that then yes that's a problem.

They have the very reasonable possibility of simply not saying anything but that may require developing a company culture where people learn if and when to do that - this may require some "political" discussion between consenting adults and that's fine!
The first two lines of that tweet:

> The healthcare system in the US is a failure.

> You have to do it yourself. You have to research things yourself. You have to hunt for doctors & specialists yourself.

It is pretty scary.

It's not a matter of whether you're going to need the healthcare system to work for you, it's when. Everybody gets older, everybody starts to lose function in various ways, and everybody dies.

The US healthcare system is an unmitigated disaster.
They had a rotation policy. They clearly say it in all their interviews, how they are maintaining constant presence in the protests by rotating members every 4 - 7 days. See interviews on channels like Youtube channels like ScoopWhoop Unscripted, that tried to bring the farmer's point of view to the forefront. Let's not kid ourselves, the virus doesn't discriminate based on whether the gathering is righteous or not. Each and every gathering is a super spreader, be it a protest, election rally or a religious gathering.
Inferior endurance is the "dirty secret" of the consumer-level SSD industry. You and I know better, but the average consumer doesn't pay attention to write endurance or under-provisioning.

While I'm no proponent of storage mining, I do feel a little empathy. First they sell products that don't stand up as well to wear, then they wash their hands of it when you actually want to use the thing. Feels a bit like when stainless steel appliances gave way to plastic ones.

That's why I stopped buying entry-level, and prefer enterprise SSD's or at least good brands that publish endurance figures and have held up to third-party testing proving them out.

Here are some fun experiments writing to SSD's for days/months/years on end to see how long they'd last:

I have no problem with a manufacturer publishing a lifetime write rating and denying the warranty once you've exceeded it. But unless they were up-front about it, amending the terms afterward by saying "well, we never intended you to use it like that" seems a cop-out.
Jarvis isn't wrong. Even today the United States is either at the top or near the top of education spending per student [1] with little to show for it in terms of results. The solution that government has proposed for the last 40 or so years has been to throw billions (if not trillions) of dollars into a wishing well, hope for best, and tax some more in case that doesn't work out. Why should people be forced to pay more at gunpoint for the same brand of mediocre education? Inflation rates have been wildly outpaced by education spending for such a long time now that it's not a reasonable excuse. So then at what point does one pull away the wool covering one's eyes and begin to see that they are being robbed? It may not be the teachers' doing but someone, may be at the administrative levels, is obviously profiting.

Given how much higher Basecamp pays than almost the entire rest of the industry, it's extremely likely that most of these staffers will be taking a significant pay cut.

Remember, Basecamp pays the 90th percentile of San Francisco rates + profit sharing kickbacks for a company that's fully remote. Regardless of position.

The social justice diversity, equity and inclusion is a political stance that instead of seeing individuals see groups of "oppressed" and "oppressors" which is a recipe for a less productive work environment. These unchosen group identities are political tools and not descriptive of an individual.

Moreover, social justice uses activism to take over the organization to the point where it use as many resources as possible for activism. It is not unusual at this point for activist employees to ask a company to make bad business decisions for political reasons, so a policy putting political activism into the private sphere makes it clear that you are at work to create a long-term sustainable and healthy business.

> A key event was the passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938. Rather than restricting night work, the law created the right to “time-and-a-half” overtime pay, effectively ending the campaign to reduce hours. After that, both the number of hours Americans worked each week and the number of weeks they worked each year began to rise.

The irony is that Republicans caused this. More specifically, the Senate leader Mitch McConnell.

He was instrumental in the Citizens United supreme court decision that gave free speech and unlimited campaign contributions to corporations as if they were people. Of course other Republicans hailed this decision at the time.

Well, now that corporations are saying and doing things they don't like I bet they're having second thoughts about their shameless loyalty to corporations over people.

Republicans of old would never fine corporations for enforcing their own community rules. But the Republican party of today is something else. Something darker, or much whiter, maybe both.

For example when a bug has messed up data and you want to know when it was introduced. Then you know how far you have to go back to correct it.

The farmers protests are almost completely represented by people from 2 States. Even if they did go home and spread the infection the rate of spread is much lower in Punjab and Haryana.

It‘s nice that a self-hosting PaaS is built again, i have the hope that one in the end will really get traction and is not dead a few month after it has been announced.

But what i really would like to see would be a self-hosted postgresql as a service. All these solutions need to reinvent this again and again. If there would be one solution with a good backup concept (!) like wal-g integrated all these new PaaS could skip the DBaaS step and just concentrate on the code as a service part. Their feature set would be a lot smaller which may lead to these projects living longer.

Tldr: We need a self-hostable PostgreSql as a Service all these PaaS could depend on.

There is no one size fits all, there is no inherent peril in ignoring these general rules. The age of the rules are irrelevant, whether you use expletives to describe them or not.

There is peril in ignoring the specifics of your own individual economic circumstances. If you make $300,000/year and aren't carrying significant other debt then you can afford 4x salary for a $1.2 million house because the ratio of your non-housing expenses do not have to scale upwards with your salary. At 4% interest that's $72k/year, leaving ample room for spending on a comfortable life style while still saving 20% of your salary. In fact that is actually less than your Rule of 28. Alternatively, if you make $300k/year but have $80k in credit card debt and additional business debt made on a personal guarantee then even a 2x house may be too expensive.

Situations vary based on much more complex factors than the salary:$home ratio. Simplistic rules are a greater peril than individual analysis.
This is just math. You don’t have to earn $200,000/year to afford a $400,000 property. Borrowing $400k costs about $2000/mo. Call it $2500 with taxes and maybe an HOA. That’s about $30,000/year, or 15% of $200,000. Take home on 200 will be north of $150.

Mortgage rates are sub 3% today. That rule of thumb that’s “been around forever” existed when rates were 10%. Such a rule can not possibly be the same when the rate changes so dramatically.

The consistent rule is what percent of your take home you’re comfortable spending. Not many people - owners or renters - spend under 15% on housing.

Those numbers are based on the lack of crematorium facilities and the obvious queues of bodies lined outside for cremation. I know of at least 7 people dying in the last 7 days. The official numbers mean nothing anymore.
100x is not what I’ve heard but I’ve definitely heard of 10x the number of cases actually reported.

Sources are crematorium staff describing how many additional bodies they have to burn and epidemiologists.

Good point about a racial slur. But invert that. Should I be forced to call some by a racial slur because they are reclaiming the word if it makes me uncomfortable?

I agree with you that larger mass gatherings have a clear responsibility. However, cherry-picking the farmers protest which was dissenting a government policy when there were multiple other events and a clearly clue-less government feels like government propaganda.
Just one that is aligned with the founders vision, which seems fine to me?
> It [only] matters whether the person on the receiving end thinks it is racist, or racism adjacent.

That's where I can't agree. It's possible to do something that feels "racist" to someone but isn't actually racist. If I'm wrong, then there's no objective definition of racism and we can all go home and call it "lack of empathy". You can't have it both ways. Either racism is objectively definable or it isn't.

Categorically speaking, there is a big difference between offending someone's feelings or sensibilities and committing an act of racism, which is defined as discrimination on the basis of race and is objectively measurable using well-established tests.

I mean, the current accounts suggest the entire reason hospital care is being denied to some is because there is no room.

When we have seen total healthcare breakdowns (Wuhan, Italy, NYC, etc.) the efficiency of hospital care drops like a rock due to both overstressed medical staff and the staff themselves also catching COVID. I would expect India to follow the same pattern, but exacerbated by the lack of capacity.
