I might get downvoted for that, I still gonna say it:

That might be due to the demand-supply situation in photography. They probably will find photographers doing this for the promotion effect described in the email.
Fwiw, I agree (mostly) with you (and don't understand the tone of this comment section... at ... all.. ).

- Would either either a recall or an offer of free child-safety package be a nice brand-repairing option? yes.
- Should we regulate the industry for one company's lack thereof? no.

I must be getting old. All I could think when reading this thread was, "This is why we can't have nice things". What if you want to buy an aesthetically (maybe even functionally) pleasing, but unsafe-if-misused device? Why must we optimize for child safety, when a modicum of awareness/prevention and/or training would suffice?

A better comparison than razor blades: motorcycles. In most states, if a child isn't required to be in a safety seat, they aren't prohibited from being a motorcycle passenger - despite it being statistically less safe than any car.
If you don't want to be beholden to other people, don't take their money with the promise that you are going to dedicate yourself to increasing their investment.
If a) steel is more essential to society than burning natural gas and b) steel production is carbon-intensive, then an across-the-board carbon tax has two effects.

1. In the short term it makes steel more expensive. But because steel is essential, we still use it, it just costs a little more. If you're building a clean energy power plant, or making a generator for a hospital, some of the tax revenues could go to you, to make those things still affordable.

2. In the longer term, there are now huge financial incentives to either reduce the carbon consumption of steel production, or to replace steel with something which uses less carbon. Which is what you want.

The fact that even the most assertive tech leaders are more "chair throwing tantrum incident" at most may be part of their aggro. "Normal people" get irrationally pissed off at things not meeting their prejudices and preconceptions. In this case the lack of "alpha bro" at the top. They cannot imagine a lack of this as seen in the shibboleth of the clueless "techbro" perojative.

You don't see vandalism for decades saying "Wall street go home!" in the Bronx in the face of gentrification even though the rough consensus is that Wall Street is a bunch of priveledged douchebags.
Also manager. I feel like the manager's communication is off, though the end result is the same. All I need to ensure is that a) you are working on this HARD and know to turn down other tasks (and possibly put in extra hours) and b) you will update me immediately if the timeline can't be met.

Usually this request, though frequently very rare takes the form of "Issue $ISSUE is causing critical impacts on $IMPORTANT_THING, if we don't solve it by $TIME, it will cause $BAD_IMPACTS. Please make this your top priority and redirect questions about all other items to me. If you think this will not be done by $TIME, please let me know as soon as possible. I appreciate your hard work" Then you tell rest of the org: "$TEAM is working on $ISSUE and is re prioritizing other commitments. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to me."

If the developer turns around and says "this won't happen in time", that's a problem for the manager, not the developer in like 99% of situations. It's not "bad news", it's the truth, and you should always be able to tell the unfiltered truth (especially to your direct manager!) without any repercussions.
Seems like a sure fire way to destroy anyone going through the imposter syndrome.
Unlike RPython, Static Python in cinder is not really a subset of Python, it can compile everything (although it will throw compile time errors if it sees mismatched types). If it cannot determine type information, it just assumes the type could be anything, and falls back to slower CPython behavior.

That loopy-style cursive they taught us in school was so damn ugly, even when done perfectly, and not especially fast. I never understood why they were making us learn it. Its existence only made any sense to me whatsoever when I learned it was designed with a fountain pen in mind.

Most critiques of the story entirely disagree with your interpretation. I couldn’t find anything specific about how the author meant it to be understood but it appears that most understand it as I interpreted it when I was 9 years old.
I actually feel bad for Netflix here. They have nothing at all to do with this (as the article rightly points out) but the photographer is blaming them anyway, and I'm sure all of their friends are too.

Just because you are able to find someone desperate enough to take up your shitty offer doesn't mean it is the fair market at work. There's a reason labor laws, OSHA, minimum wage etc. exist. This is predatory, period.

The irony here is that they wouldn't be able to do this if they just wanted people to act as photographers, not actually take any photos, because the various actors unions wouldn't allow it. Even nameless extras make $10-$15/hr or more for the time they are required to be on set.
I worked at a big company and popular brand when they hired an asshole to harass the entire developer team and make them leave and replaced all of us with contractors from the asshole's buddy company. It was beyond obvious that this was coming from upper management, because all of us reporting to HR did not result to any change, even if there was documented harassment of employees. So, maybe Jason and DHH just wanted these people out and found this way to do it as to do a layoff if the company is beyond a certain size, it's not so easy. Anyway, I am no the kind of employee that will go sue their former employer or talk shit about them as, again, I know employment is at will and should be.

> If you've ever implemented C++ iterators, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how elegant it is in Rust by comparison

You probably already know this, but if you're willing to take a dependency on Boost.Iterator, then boost::iterator_facade[1] makes it much easier and less error-prone to implement a standards-conforming iterator, and the pre-built iterator adapters[2] cover lots of common cases, so you don't need to directly implement an iterator at all.

Not arguing the relative merits of C++ vs. Rust, just leaving a pointer here for anyone who didn't know about it.

I'm not quite sure how recruiters et al brainwashed us all into talking about jobs as "opportunities".

It should be the other way round.

The fact that "This would be an unpaid opportunity" not only doesn't particularly stand out as a phrase, but is even something of a cliche says a lot about the world.
Such is the story of the Mexican fisherman and the harvard MBA:

An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.”

“But what then?” Asked the Mexican.

The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!”

“Millions – then what?”

The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

I feel like it should be noted in the title that this is the show's production company "Kinetic Content" making this request.

They should name the folks actually making the request.

I think you're crossing streams a bit.

It's not 'we' thought the government would be in trouble if they were caught spying, it's 'some' people. Most people have more nuanced views. Especially in areas of national security most people accept some degree of oversight, so the issue then becomes a matter of details. What was the oversight? What are the material repercussions? Who is harmed? How? All of those things add up in complicated ways among the general population.

The Boeing issue is also complicated. These are not black and white decisions, and just because there was an Engineer 'who said something was wrong' doesn't always help, because there's always a person of credibility that disagrees with systems, many of them are safe. Boeing has paid a huge price for their screw up, with grounded fleets, cancelled purchases.

When Facebook does bad stuff - remember that consumers greatest power is the choice to not use Facebook. So either people continue to use it - or not. Apparently they are, so that's a measure of their real concern for their data given the breaches.

If HIPPA information was looked at by AWS, then there would be lawsuits immediately for example, there would be an investigation and if it was 'just a guy' then I think AWS would be ok, but there would be a lot of scrutiny.

But if there was a whistle-blower at AWS who said 'people are looking at sensitive data all the time' then it would be over for them. While individual consumers may not collectively have any real power to do serious damage, big companies do.

Put yourself in the shoes of an Exec running on AWS infrastructure: all of your most sensitive data leaked, possibly to potential competitors? So the issue is raised far beyond IT personnel etc..

Just like you'd ground your Boeing jets if there were a safety issue, you'd probably move away from AWS.
I think part of it is a natural -- but unfortunate -- tendency to not want to admit how fallible the human brain is. No one wants to believe that, given the right (well, wrong) conditions, they themselves could do something that terrible to other people while in a suicide spiral. So we're reluctant to believe that anyone could do it.

Then we have the Malaysian government, not wanting to admit to the embarrassment that one of their most experienced, thought-to-be-solid pilots could do something like this, and that they all missed any possible signs that it could happen. As much as we're consciously skeptical of the Malaysian government's report and claims, I bet their words do have a subconscious effect, adding doubt to the murder-suicide theory.
That's a calculation, not a defense. For it to be a comparable explanation of how the car is totally safe, there would have to be a really inconvenient way to avoid the problem, like "if you always put your first passenger in the back right seat, then the differential won't lock up".
> all programmers hate technology

The latest wave of "investors" aren't programmers.

But yeah, the trust issue illustrated by your comment speaks volumes. I just wish people didn't think our problems were as easy as "sprinkle a little tech on it."
The anecdote is there to establish a pattern of sloppiness and carelessness and unnecessary risk-taking. Regardless of whether it, ex post, affected Geodesic's decision, it clearly could have affected it ex ante, and he should not have taken such a completely unnecessary risk, which helps establish his unfitness and why the LSD was the final straw/excuse.

This is common in the Enterprise and makes me wonder how many companies are undermined by their own accounting/billing departments. Typical problems include:

1) Vendor agrees to to NET 60, but begins to display warnings to end users on day 30.

2) We want to purchase 100 licenses in bulk, but vendor will only sell individual licenses directly to each user, who must pay using the vendor's payment system, with no exceptions or alternatives.

3) Vendor does not have a method to process payment for multiple invoices combined in one check.

4) Vendor sends invoice to wrong account at the same enterprise (way too common).

What's frustrating about these examples is that there is no sales pitch needed; we've already decided to purchase the product. Taking our money shouldn't be the hardest part.
Seems like (b). I can't really find any evidence with proof a laptop owned by Hunter Biden actually existed and was somehow found in a pawn shop, given to Rudy Giuliani, then to the FBI, found to be filled with "evidence", then totally suppressed. It's all such a ludicrous story with no real proof that people (like you) who talk about it tend to get dismissed. I'm generally for dismissal of the conversation like this (downvoting and hiding it) because generally it tends to turn towards more stories with little or no evidence and doesn't really bring anything new to the table.

That being said, I find it funny that people want an exciting story about a forgotten laptop when it's generally well accepted that Hunter Biden accepted a job he wasn't qualified for in a foreign country. For me that's pretty clearly nepotism at best and harming the interests of your own country at worst, and displays a clear lack of judgement. But Americans like a conspiracy theory...
Yeah, I mean, making the device safer is good. Or if it can't be made safe, consumers with children shouldn't buy them. Either is a valid approach.

That's funny, I've been doing this (appending searches with "reddit") for a while, but I thought it was just a random thing I did, not the universal experience of so many people.

It's probably not so much search that is dying but non-profit content on the internet. Not a whole lot that search engines can do about that, unless they become search "walled gardens" ala Apple.
Their FAQ page at least answered some of that for me. Have the same feeling.

What If We Made Paying Ransoms Illegal?
The US continues to support unpaid work in a pretty major way. I think unpaid internships being socially acceptable is one of the roots of this insidious habit. They've been illegal up here in Canada for a while and it hasn't really caused any economic disasters. It'd be a good change to advocate for down there as well.

And, honestly, internships aren't free for companies unless there is literally nothing of value being given to the intern, adding a low salary to these positions to make them affordable to people without independent savings or rich parents would just be more equitable while not significantly impacting employers. Internships are, in the best light, just a really good recruiting tool.
Solar panels produce energy in a sine wave. Once the peak of the sine wave exceeds energy demand, you start hitting diminishing returns. The fluctuations in wind production are more complicated, but it's subject to the same problem. You can over-produce to make up for the troughs in energy demand, but the nature of overproduction means that a portion of generated energy goes to waste. This is already happening in California: daytime energy production is saturated.

This is why most renewable plans assume that there will be some silver bullet that makes energy storage effectively free. Without some way to turn an intermittent source into a consistent source, it'll be very difficult to decarbonize with wind and solar.
(Orbit author here) Wozniak is the pioneer, and like all in this space, we're heavily inspired by his work. Orbit is a vehicle for exploring some different ideas in this space. For instance, we're looking at how spaced repetition might be woven into a written form, like a book, so that authors can facilitate readers internalizing ideas deeply with relatively little extra effort. (see https://quantum.country for an example)
This is less about "can" and more about "should". It's bad for everybody when professionals work "for publicity" or are encouraged to do so, despite the relative innocence of the professional who chooses to do so.

In order to influence your boss in this case requires understanding what is intended, so you can offer a better alternative. As you know, setting a deadline doesn't require that management believes bug fixing is predictable. They could well know it's unpredictable and set a deadline anyway.

You know your bosses better than I do, but all I can make from this example is a boss who wants to make fixing this bug top priority. Possibly the boss wanted to say, "Stop all other work until this bug is fixed" and then, thinking what that might bring -- after all, developers are lazy -- decided to set a false deadline. The intent seems to be to set priorities.

An executive once told us -- a small group of developers -- in a meeting that work must be finished by the deadline come hell or high water. We looked at each other and didn't know what he was trying to say. Obviously there are trade-offs here, so do we trade off quality? Features? What exactly was the executive thinking to sacrifice -- besides unpaid overtime of employees. That's a given.

Maybe the boss can remove obstacles or get help from other departments. These are things that bosses can do that you can't do. Maybe all the boss wants is to get you to say what the hold up is, for example "we need some more information from one of our partners", in order to assist you.

Maybe your boss gets colicky when bugs aren't fixed. You could suggest setting a zero defects policy, which more or less states that bugs are fixed before new features are added. This is one way to meet deadlines that trades off features in return for being able to ship more or less at any time.

It could be there's even a missing role here that you can fill over time. If you can be an expert at treating your boss as a customer, interviewing to discover what exactly is desired, and suggesting technical and management solutions, you'll be a great deal more valuable.
