If interested, Standard Oil was drawn as an octopus in Puck magazine (1904). The Library of Congress notes: "Illustration shows a "Standard Oil" storage tank as an octopus with many tentacles wrapped around the steel, copper, and shipping industries, as well as a state house, the U.S. Capitol, and one tentacle reaching for the White House."

Cofense | Senior UI Engineers | REMOTE | Full-time

Cofense empowers people to recognize phishing attacks by providing end-to-end phishing defense solutions with human intelligence to protect organizations valuable data.

We're hiring two (2) Senior UI Engineers to add to the existing UI/UX team at Cofense. Engineers applying should have Vue.js experience, TypeScript experience is preferred as well.

Some interesting aspects of the Cofense UI team that you might find appealing:

1. All UI developers and designers get together every week to discuss what we’ve learned on our respective projects, and how we can apply these lessons across the company’s entire suite of products.

2. We developed and collectively maintain and evolve our own internal design system, shared component library, and various utility libraries for use across all Cofense UI applications.

3. UI developers have a prominent place in development not only on the front-end for all of our applications, but also in the design of the APIs that drive our UIs and the design of the applications themselves.

4. The UI team has the freedom to move between our applications and are called upon to continually work to unite all of our applications for the benefit of the users (UX) _and_ the developers working on and moving between these projects (DX).

5. Our onboarding process helps new hires contribute something of value on shared Cofense UI projects by the end of their first week, as well as to their initial application project’s codebase by the end of their second week.

I've encountered a slightly more nuanced equity position that comes in the form of supporting equal opportunity, but simultaneously claiming that inequitable outcomes are indicative of unequal opportunity. If the goal is to fix inequality and inequity is assumed to be evidence of inequality, then that's just a roundabout way of pursuing equal outcomes.

I'm not saying that this is your position. It's just a position I've encountered with fequency.

Inequity is not evidence of inequality. Evidence of inequality are things like: sending identical resumes save for male vs. female names and measuring the difference in response rate, anonymizing candidates' voices and measuring changes in interview performance, or other tests that see changes in output directly attributable to aspects of the candidate's identity.
The large Toshiba drives they're using are enterprise drives. A couple of weeks ago these drives were among the cheapest (€/TB) drives to get here in the Netherlands, so I assume Backblaze just bought them because of their price.
Very simple. You just apply to a PM role, tell them about your idea, they appreciate your creativity and you negotiate a slightly higher signon bonus. An idea alone isnt worth more than that. If on top of that idea you add some unsuccessful business with employees and customers, you can get hired as a manager or a director at most. If you figure how to make that business successful that brings some real money you should aim at a VP role at least, with a custom contract that lets you retain control over this or other businesses.
This sounds like an interesting model for choosing future leaders but also it seems very risky as it is entirely dependent on a very small selection of people (those in the hereditary line) being able to lead and grow a company.

Maybe if you only ever bought a single phone and never discarded it, creating more e-waste that would not have a big impact on the environment. But if everyone buys one or two new phones a year then you have a mountain of waste. Of course you don't see it because it's a mountain that forms in some far away land where people are so poor they have to scavenge in the detritus of your electronics and can't afford to eat any meat anyway.
Honestly, non-tactile buttons on a car seems ridiculous. You HAVE to look away from the road to do anything. Tactile buttons let you feel around to do things if you need to. That change has made zero sense to me.

> The problem is that Apple's solutions are the only solutions that get to use certain technologies because they don't want other people to compete with them.

This just misunderstands what vertical integration is about.

Apple’s solutions aren’t general solutions. They are narrow solutions that work in Apple’s ecosystem.

Apple hasn’t developed general solutions that other people could use. This is the whole point. It’s why they can move faster than a modular ecosystem can.

This has nothing to do with not letting other people use their technologies. They don’t actually have technologies that anyone other than Apple can use.

> This is where the concept of banquets was born

Good post which I don't mean to detract from, but this is certainly not true.

Even before sapiens, erectus and neanderthalensis were big game hunters. Sapiens in particular developed the tools for mass killings of migratory herds of large animals, and the ability to set fish traps for harvesting spawning runs.

Both of these left early hunter gatherers with abundant surpluses of meat at certain times of year, so much that preservation was the limiting factor in getting those calories into bodies. We know the response of the Tlingit people to this bounty from very recent history: they would throw huge banquets called potlatches.
> Both of these group have no problem with the changing male roles or feminism, they just ignore it or it doesn't affect them.

That's also true for a growing number of women, especially above a certain age. They feel completely alienated by the current 'feminist' movement and don't identify with it. Wonder if the younger generation might not do the same.
Or perhaps they'll set their algorithms free to figure out how to better monetize all the info Facebook has on people, and the machines will figure out that blackmail is a possibility: maybe FB could sell ads that would let you pay not to have certain information shared.

Who's they? And more interestingly when trying to contact google with above information I bumped to wall. How does one contact google? There's no contact-us link unless you're a member of press.

Edit: TBH I'm a bit mad at google and all the rest of internet behemoths for this. The magnitude and breadth of his contribution should have drawn their focus and support to his family long ago. It is unacceptable that they (the family) should rely on the kindness of random strangers to make ends meet.

I think it's taking it's naming from "Reddit Enhancement Suite". I've seen a couple other extensions also go with that naming convention such as "Google Meet Enhancement Suite".
I think of them as machines that automated a certain task. So a robot substitute.
I'm of the opinion that those should just be disabled these days.

Aside from the occasional AMD motherboard that has a very slow scrolling non-text-mode framebuffer, Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S aren't so useful with the GUI terminal programs or console terminals nowdays.

I tried transferring $200 worth of ether from one exchange to another one the other day and the fee was going to be $30.

So I traded the ETH for LTC, transferred it to the other exchange, then traded the LTC back for ETH. My total fee when transferring via LTC was around 30 cents or something like that.

If this is honestly how ETH transaction fees are, this doesn't seem viable...

What am I missing?

Next time you attempt to discuss economics with somebody I suggest you educate yourself a little bit beforehand, to at least get a grasp of the basic concepts. The Core project has published an introductory textbook [1] that you may find useful for this purpose (although any book will do, really). In particular, chapter 13 deals with inflation among other topics [2]: "Inflation is an increase in the general price level in the economy, usually measured over a year."

I think the main objection is that what you are saying is technically true - all human conditions are physical in the sense that humans are immensely complex dynamical systems consisting of atoms, molecules, proteins, pathways etc.

However it's not helpful in terms of diagnosis and treatment, which is fundamentally different in many ways compared to physical conditions - and stigma is often a result of people no understanding the difference.

To make a really simplified example: If you break your leg, a doctor will do a test, an x-ray say, recognise the leg is broken and interfere directly in one way or another with the physical system that is your body. The conscious you is not a part of this process (this is a simplified example, it does make some difference).

If you 'break your mind,' again very simplified, because you are treated like sh*t at work, your parent dies, you are genetically predisposed and have no social net, and as a result develop depression, there is no (physical) test. The conscious you is a central part of the treatment. It is even thinkable to not treat the physical you but target your environment instead.

Again this is a simplified example with shortcomings. Also having read your replies I believe you wanted to simply highlight that the distinction physical/mental is arbitrary and it is.
My favorite carbon-capture solution is to breed whales:

https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2019/12/natures-s...

Whales act as a nutrient pump in the ocean; beside the 30-tons of carbon they capture and sink over their lifetime in their own biomass, they eat in the deepest parts of the ocean and come back to the surface to breathe, where they release a large amount of nitrate, phosphorus and iron every time they defecate, causing a lot of algal growth.

restoring whales population to their pre-industrial levels could have the same effect as planting several billion trees.
I can build a 720T raw SSD storage box for ~$138k

Or a 648T raw HDD storage box for ~$53k

To get that up to raw 10 PB, I need ~$2m for all-SSD, or ~$850k for all-HDD

Bake-in a 2-system safety margin, and that's ~$2.3m all-SSD or ~$960 all-HDD

Run TrueNAS and ZFS on each of them ... and my overhead becomes a little bit of cross-over sysadmin/storage admin time per year and power

Say that's 1 FTE at $180k ($120k salary + 50% overhead) per year (even though actual admin time is only going to be maybe 10% of their workload - I like rounding-up for these types of approximations)

Peak cost, therefore, is ~$2.5m the first year, and ~$200k per year afterwards

And, of course, we'll want to plan for replacement systems to pop-in ... so factor-up to $250k per year in overhead (salary, benefits, taxes, power, budget for additional/replacement servers)

Using [Wasabi](https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/#three-info), 10PB is going to run ~$62k/mo, or ~$744k per year

It's cheaper to build-vs-buy in no more than 5 years ... probably under 3
What's the connection between RH, Citadel, and Doge? Yes, it happened during GME, but they had a vested interest as GME short sellers and no actual connection between them and reddit downtime was ever established.

Now we're talking about crypto and making the same assumptions. It's no different than all of the kids on reddit with 2 months experience in the market who now believe they can spot a short squeeze coming.
Thanks for the clarification. I don't know that I've seen experts in a topic say that they aren't experts in the topic as figurative speech for humility. That sounds like it would be confusing?

Well, I believe I've seen experts saying that they aren't an expect in the particular sub-topic in question, even if they are an expert in (another sub-topic of) the same general topic. Like, saying that there are people with more expertise than them in the specific sub-topic at hand. And maybe they might phrase this as "I'm not an expert" without specifying the specific subtopic, before commenting on a question of the specific sub-topic. This doesn't strike me as figurative though. Perhaps I've just been misinterpreting though, and they mean "I'm not an expert" figuratively, rather than literally meaning "I'm not an expert in this specific sub-topic"?

I think the "everyone pretends to be a robot" is, partially a software engineer thing? (Or, rather, correlated with the sort of person who would enjoy programming-ish stuff. ) Not literally pretending to be a robot. Rather, a combination of naturally acting in a certain way that could be described as analogous in some ways to a robot, and an imitation (and sometimes exaggeration) of behaviors which one has seen in oneself and in others who one kinda "identifies with",
or aspiring towards an ideal or idea which has been constructed around those kinda of behaviors (possibly with this idea including things that aren't really naturally part of the behaviors, but by accidents of chance and misunderstanding, became part of a cultural idea ).

I've previously told someone that I don't really ever "feel like a robot", but I do often "feel like the sort of person who would sometimes 'feel like a robot' " .
But presumably the fish still does need to eat, which you'd need to keep in mind for the calculation?
Practical Nix Flakes
Side note: one thing I've really noticed lacks formalism in a lot of programming languages and environments is easily streaming data and performing operations on a data "pipe". I normally dislike javascript, but Node.js actually does a pretty cool job of it with their streams API. Really wish every language had something like that built in, with flow control, etc., so you could e.g. pipe data through compression => encryption => measure size => upload and those sorts of flows. Even more useful is when all of these steps can run somewhat in parallel e.g. while datum 1 is being encrypted, datum 2 is being compressed, etc.

What is a “child’s winter jacket”? Is this some kind of meme thing I’m not aware of…?
I agree that that Reason article is very flamebait. I also agree that math should be made accessible to all students and that we shouldn't effectively be determining kids' future in math when they're in sixth grade. Everyone should be able to find the "joy" of math.

Where I disagree is in the proposed methods, though I don't know what the "right" answer would be. The idea of a completely homogenous experience for all middle schoolers is what I experienced in going to a smaller middle school. There was only one track, and as one of those "good at math" kids, it was A+ all day with essentially no effort. As a result, I built exactly zero study skills and most classes were me getting my work done quickly and then twiddling my thumbs waiting for others in the class to catch up.

I didn't actually didn't find any joy in math until taking Calculus in high school. That was the first time I felt truly challenged, and the lack of study skills made it an initially painful experience. Finding success in discovering the concepts and eventually mastering them was exciting.

Even though it's been 30 years, I still remember the exact moment that Calculus "clicked" for me. Everyone deserves that experience. The right solution should be one where all students get that, but I don't think the proposed framework provides that.

I find it mind boggling that the Cybertruck's entry-level MSRP is cheaper than a brand new entry-level Ford F-150, and I almost guarantee it won't stay that way.

The Cybertruck's brutalist-esque steel design reminds me of something that might be seen in the same space as a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, maybe because both seem to unabashedly garish and powerful.

I almost want one just because if you wanted a Ford F-150, buying one even used seems to be a hassle since they retain so much value. And yet, I have no need for a truck. It just seems like a fun status vehicle.

Currently I see NFTs as a new status symbol, but without a way to display them (ie: flex your status/wealth). However, if you think the world will move further towards the digital realm where people will spend large portions of their lives in shared virtual worlds, this problem goes away.

There will be virtual worlds where only the true owner of the NFT (can prove with digital signature) can display their artwork. It's not so different from people flexing with their skins in various games, so I don't think it's much of a stretch to imagine a virtual world where people have virtual properties, houses, businesses, etc. where they display their NFT artwork. Have a look at Decentraland for an idea of where this might be heading.
Asking why this should be the case is not particularly useful. The fact is that it is true. If you offer an average adult cereal in the shape of little ronald mcdonald faces vs. generic flakes even with identical nutritional content they will, on average, select the more 'adult appropriate' option.

Most people struggle at writing the content so that really has to be your priority. Pick whatever gets

While I never understood the value of most NFTs yet. I'm still not sure if I'm too smart and too stupid. But either way, Donation NFT sounds better than the Fart NFT I read about the other day.

One thing to note is that birth-control may decrease libido in some women. The science is a bit mixed though.

To add to the other replies, my own grandparents sound similar to yours in that they were happily married for 52 years. But my grandfather passed away 5 years ago, and while I know she still misses him deeply, I don't think my grandmother is in a constant state of misery. She is still able to find happiness in life despite now being alone.

I think that's what the parent was getting at. Being devoted to your partner doesn't mean you need them to enjoy life.

I think entering into an argument knowing you won't change your mind is disingenuous, and I think your argument that pornography leads to unhappy marriages hinges on the idea that pornography leads to hell, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it. It's actually the only reason you've given, and then you built your conclusion on top of it.

My point is by bringing religion into the conversation, you ratcheted up the severity to an 11, since the negative consequences of religion tend to be literally the worst thing you can experience for all of eternity. Before it was a tough conversation about sex, and now it's a tough conversation about sex where if you get it wrong, you're doomed to hell.

At a certain point, I'm left to wonder what your intention actually was, and I'm running out of positive options. For example, you created a throwaway, and I'm curious about what I'm supposed to take away from that decision.
