In the UK it is widely known to be utter trash.

Here's a song about it written in 2010:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBT6OSr1TI

Song's punchline: "It's absolutely true because I read about it in the daily mail /s"
A shamelessly copied and posted post was circulating LinkedIn a few days ago, and someone shared screengrabs how these bottom-feeders are copying and posting content. The content of the post makes matter worse.

A bunch of recruiters posted like this- "generic name was a recent college grad he/she was really talented. they asked for X amount of money. But I gave them Y (Y quite > X). This is the time for human solidarity and being honest and rewarding people for their talent, blah blah blah."

In some screenshots, the name, tech stack, and amount of money were all same.

How low can these people stoop?
Another commenter points out it stopped happening to them, so maybe it’s no longer the case. I do remember it happening on mobile, though.

The traffic fatalities of bicyclists in cities would like a word with you...
Is that the reason they rev up their engines to the breaking point while standing in traffic?
You must be kidding, right? W2k had a very long startup time by today's standards, but after that the basic utilities felt very snappy, just like most software of the pre-web era:

I agree, but if you're feeling tired or overwhelmed, taking a day off is in everyone's best interest, and I don't think standing in a vertical coffin for a few minutes is an adequate alternative.
> If you don't use it as a political mouthpiece it's incredible and there's nothing like it.

This matches my experience too. I’ve connected with a lot of interesting people in a reasonably niche field (audio software dev) who I would otherwise never have had the opportunity to. I’ve subsequently had the pleasure of meeting a few of these people in real life at conferences etc.

However anything political quickly turns into a dumpster fire. I can kind of see why people get sucked in to arguing on there, but it’s better to just ignore that side of Twitter IMO. I’ve definitely unfollowed people who have too high a ratio of political type content vs. what I’m actually following them for!
Stereotypes do have a bit of truth to them, usually, though sometimes the stereotypes are just people misinterpreting others based on their own expectations. I don't know how to drive rally at all, but there are aspects of the "stereotypical Finn" that I recognize in myself.

Finns generally demand a larger personal space and thus may appear as "cold" to someone used to being in closer proximity, but it is what it is.

Believe me, I'd love to be able to act less reserved around new people, but I find it hideously difficult, and if I don't feel outgoing, I can't force myself to act that way because it causes me intense discomfort.

As for smiling, it might just be that for Finns a "neutral" face is perfectly polite and a stranger's smile elicits a stronger reaction (either positive or negative depending on context) while people from the US might expect a smile as the default state and thus react less strongly to it.

I believe the solution is not loud noises.

There are plenty of other options.

Here in the UK years back, unscrupulous growers sprayed the silicate-based additive used in road paintmarkings for reflectivity, as when applied to the buds it made it look like they were of incredibly high quality.

This was not scaremongering, I bought some myself. Twice.

I have connections with people in the old synthetic cannabinoid industry and know how cheap that shit is to buy and how easy it is to order from China, so I don't see in any way it being a stretch of the imagination to envisage people growing poor quality weed and adding to it.
No, it makes the claim.

Medium seems more aggressive with their paywall lately, but clearing the cookies works fine.

It occurs to me that a useful browser feature would have automatic "never save cookies ever" and then have a whitelist to add sites that I want to retain cookies on.

Ok, well I have been hit by vehicles on various bicycles five times. Always follow the laws, ride the lanes, lights, blah blah blah. On my liter bike with an after-market exhaust, people mostly get out of my way.... so I mounted an air horn on my bike handlebars, people now see me magically.

Engineers do not build bridges that barely stand.
They build bridges that they reason will stand for an amount of time in the conditions they predict the bridge will be subject to versus the cost required to build said bridge. They build realizing that no bridge will stand forever but it must stand for a specified amount of time.

They build to "Correct",

Not "Perfect"

> a vast circle jerk in the cloud

Well, that has the ring of truth, when applied to the newsfeed. And the final conclusion that you should just get on linkedin when job searching and then get off again is fine. I find it incredibly useful for job searching, to the point that I don't even bother with other sites.

However, the job search experience is badly spoiled by secondary recruitment postings. These are especially annoying when the posting is cut off so that you have to follow an external link to get the full info. And having to apply from external sites is also a pain. Linkedin seems big enough to be able to enforce some rules on those sorts of things.

I think the newsfeed stuff that this article focusses on really only affects people who buy into it. Personally, after reading a few posts of the type '5 reasons your boss should stop doing that thing you hate', I stopped paying attention to the newsfeed unless there was a robot video from boston dynamics at the top. And the secondary features don't really seem like they have enough meat to stick.
Human Impact on Earth Traced Back 4k Years by Scientists
Funny, WoW nerds have this exactly same origin myth about the term, and that came out 4 years after CS 1.0.
I had a similar experience with my mother. I quit my job to spend the last few months remaining with her until the day she passed.

During this period we never told ourselves that we loved each other, not because it never came about, or was too awkward, but because our actions were expressions of love.

It's probably the instance that makes more sense with the cliché: actions speak louder than words.

That's how I justified it in my mind and came to terms with it for not saying it, and makes sense to me. I knew, and my mom knew, death was around the corner. But we also knew we loved each other.

Could it be that saying I love you so much meant "goodbye", so we avoided saying it?

I don't think so, we enjoyed our company and expressed our love for each other throughout our lives, and that happened until the final moment. It still happens to this day that my mom is no longer here, and will carry on until my mind fades away or on my death bed.

Maybe our believes helped us as well, since we both had a sense of continuity of life and death.

I miss her a lot.

Since then I feel more empathy, and I have a new appreciation for the time I spend with my family and friends. On the other side, things like work became a shore and I've been struggling with it... like if I'm not doing meaningful things then they're pointless and a waste of time.

These aren't really novel security vulnerabilities or anything, just some common sense things to be aware of so you don't shoot yourself in the foot: generated pronounceable passwords might not strictly follow the length that you set, don't paste your passwords into the address bar of a web view, and don't set a weak master password.
Unreasonable? Why? The Covid hyperbole has beaten up the data (read: facts) beyond recognition. That is far from reasonable.

- Why was the fact that Covid disproportionately affected those 65 & over brushed aside?

"Adults 65 and older account for 16% of the US population but 80% of COVID-19 deaths in the US, somewhat higher than their share of deaths from all causes (75%) over the same period."

https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/what-sh...

Note: Covid rates and deaths are falling off because people 65 & over have gotten the jab. Not necessarily because other less vulnerable groups have; including children.

- Why was the fact that comorbidies - a medical science standard - suddenly abandoned?

Hiding behind aggregation and hyperbol in order to scare Karen is a dangerous tactic; a spin far too many people accepted with out question. The problem with fear is its limits the field of vision - literally, as well as to facts beyond the narrative.

Yes. Covid exists. That said, in terms of the response and data transparency there has been a significant amount of unreasonable manipulation.

Please don't confuse how "popular" a fact is with its legitimacy. Just the same, the popularity of propaganda doesn't increase its legitimacy.
Trying to google it it seems unclear to me what the product is... SSD or hybrid? Also what tech (SLC, MLC, TLC, QLC) and how many nm? This is the real reason why I went all in on the X25-E; there is no clear winner since 10 years... either it's super expensive and might be good or cheap and guaranteed crap!

Also the interfaces are all over the place, PCIe, SAS, SATA, NVMe (which is PCIe?), M.2 with double PCIe?! with all kinds of connectors...

We have a serious problem with storage of data when magnetic tape is still the real solution!
> Exhausts sound great

For kids walking to school, people trying to nap, etc, loud exhaust is terrible on the ears and stressful in general. Electric bikes aren’t silent, but the whining noise is much less stressful than combustion engine noise.
Orbital debris strikes ISS robotic arm
You can indeed curate, but I definitely get the vibe that cringe is the default mode on LinkedIn (which is still strictly better than Twitter’s default mode, toxicity).
At least that's better than loud exhaust pipes. Loud bikes activate the fight-or-flight system in a way that klaxons do not.

Maybe that's because the loud bikes have frequencies and intonation modulation close to those of a menacing voice? (or growl)

At least in Japan, some bikers (bōsōzoku) do on purpose some kind of sounds similar to somebody arguing angrily (and snarkingly!).

But I don't want to accept neither as a solution air horns and vuvuzuelas competing for my attention and for the privilege of prematurely obliterating my cochlear hair cells.

There are other ways, let's do this. We are smarter than that, aren't we.
Renouncing your citizenship is not something to do lightly. Assuming you are in the US, it is an irrevocable act.
Your websites should be slightly faster, especially for visitors with unreliable connections, because QUIC recovers from packet loss better than TCP-based HTTP/2.

QUIC also supports 0-RTT handshake, so overhead of establishing TLS connection is a bit lower.

Bayer made lifesaving medicine back then too. Bayer's crime was of corporate amorality and I see no evidence that they have changed at all in that regard. As one of the world's largest chemical manufacturers I would be shocked if they do not still supply oppressive regimes - maybe even are inching into being one themselves, given their acquisition of Monsanto.
Investment income relative to wealth is the best classifier for wealth class. When one person's net annual income is another's net wealth, they're in different classes. This puts most people in the .middle class with about 100k income through work or investment. That bracket ends at about 2m net worth as they make about 100k off their investments. Then you hit 40m where the 40m net worth person is making 2m a year. Then 800m at 40m per year. Then 16bn at 800m per year. At the end of the day, everyone past tier 1 doesn't have to work, but there is a lot going on between each of those layers.
Yeahs when I hear mass graves at old institutions, “outbreak” pops into my head.

And the lack of resistance to European diseases didn’t help.
yeah.. I really don't see why everyone gets so bent about it. I can certainly understand the cognitive load of learning essentially all of the features so you can find the ones that work.. but really, picking a set of features that work (and ignoring possibly better techniques) seems to true for all languages. Java, Python, etc.. map.filter.reduce.. is better than for loops, but I still see those. C++ has a LOT of features and 40 years of both advancement in the language, as well as strong third-party library development.. so, compared to something like Go, it's a bit daunting to use.
It’s a scifi low drone noise though, just enough to notice, it’s not annoying at all.
Given that Concorde's maximum range is less than the distance from Tokyo to Dallas, I suspect you'd end up saving little time on that leg with it, as you'd add an extra stop. The rest of your trip sounds like mostly waiting in airports. How does an SST help with that? If anything, the lower traffic on expensive SST flights would tend to make the flights less frequent, increasing those waits. It might end up taking longer.
All governments are bound by existing law until it is changed. The alternative is tyranny. The usual limit on binding future legislatures is that you can't pass a law that is impossible to repeal.

Courts don't step in. Complainants bring cases. Who is going to sue the government (at vast expense) over defence spending?
Lots of 'intoxicating' things are incredibly selfish or even endanger others, that doesn't seem like a justification for anything.
China does have a lot of influence as well, it is important not to discount it. It will continue to get stronger as well as it becomes an increasingly important market for goods and services.

Why would this be presented as an alternative to taking a day off if people are tired and overwhelmed? I don't think it is for people who have mental health problems - on the basis that it wouldn't help, so Amazon wouldn't waste money on it if that was what it was for.

Hm. Medium is just that, a medium. FWIW, it’s quite common to see a Medium blog reach the homepage of HN. I’ve never seen a LinkedIn post here though.
> But if I criticize the US on this front, should I expect a commenter to appear (like yourself) to tell me that this isn't actually an issue -- it is just being pushed by Russia agents who are only doing so because there is a geopolitics rivalry between US and Russia?

You seem to be arguing from a position that nothing ever actually ever happens, although everything is happening, and there are no such things as truth or falsehoods, everything is both a position being taken by someone to advance their own interests and an honest and heartfelt concern. I wish you would lower yourself to talk specifically and materially about the claims that you're supporting rather than floating in abstractions.
To me, loud motor cycles seem like a sign of compensating for small genitals. Like many others in this thread, those loud sounds induce a huge amount of physical and mental stress.

Yup, that's exactly right. '\A' or '(?-m)^' should work, but don't, because of an incorrectly applied optimization.

I often wonder if LI is trying to do too many things at once. At this point it hard not to come to the conclusion that it promotes certain types of behaviors. The problem is that if left laissez-faire, the feed will not attract folks who abhor work influencers. So, perhaps they need to ask who they are really targeting?

For generic work-banter, an app like Blind seems to cut it better. Given the anonymity, it is able to (anecdotally) elicit truer depictions of one's workplace, and this helps folks get real value through what are in essence (unaggregated) reviews of companies and job roles.

By using real profiles and establishing a set up of "professionalism", LI absolutely cuts/reduces the possibility of deriving real value for the layman (read non work influencer and non CXO). Apart from connecting with old colleagues and looking for a new job, why should the layman even bother logging into the platform on a fairly regular basis?

Having said that, LI is great for some things even for the layman. It has been great for looking for new jobs as the article states. But it seems to have a crisis of identity, and it needs to figure out their core audience or differentiate product offerings before it deteriorates into a job board for the laymen like me, in which case it will be possible for a new and trendy job board to come along and replace it.
I love the sound of engines and find videos likehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baGM9StRJfI very relaxing. (Of course, living near a busy street and having to endure tens of bikes at the same time is another thing).
At least in the USA. It will involve thc, just not the thc molecule your expecting. The thc everyone knows and loves is thc 9, this is the psychoactive thc that most gets us "high". The hack occurs from converting CBD (derived from legal hemp plants) to thc. Thc derived from CBD comes as a mixture primarily of thc 8 (call it diet thc gives you a very light buzz or high without the paranoid ) and a minority of this mixture is thc 9 (the thc component that gets you high). Prior to the introduction of converted CBD to thc8/thc9 a kilo of thc9 oil was around $6 to 9 thousand. The converted CBD THC d8/d9 kilos have plummeted the price down to $2-4 thousand
The cmp in coreutils understands:

-n, --bytes=LIMIT compare at most LIMIT bytes

so head is not really necessary:

find . -name '*.csv' -type f -exec cmp -sn 3 {} bom.dat \; -print

Using -exec as a filter is a nice feature more people should use. That -type was put there just to avoid directories.

And in the US (and I’m pretty sure in the UK/Westminster countries) a goal set by a previous legislature doesn’t force the hand of a future one.

There’s a distinction made between constitutional issues (what some counties call Basic Law) and normal legislation.

Makes perfect sense. In one of my previous roles, we used to keep track of SSI (Social Selling Index), and we would be gently nudged into posting about a few things (events, launches, etc.)

I decided to game the system and shot up to the top of the rankings by simply posting actual useful stuff (pretty much the same commentary I would post on my personal link blog, but with some bearing on work topics).

I quit doing it after a while because I thought I had made my point, but not before I had reached the top three in our cohort.

Going past #10 took some doing, though. By that time I had a JavaScript scraper and a Jupyter notebook to predict the best hashtags, and if the LinkedIn API was actually usable I’d probably have fully automated the whole thing.

From Unicode 23.8[1]:

> In UTF-8, the BOM corresponds to the byte sequence <EF BB BF>. Although there are never any questions of byte order with UTF-8 text, this sequence can serve as signature for UTF-8 encoded text where the character set is unmarked. As with a BOM in UTF-16, this sequence of bytes will be extremely rare at the beginning of text files in other character encodings. For example, in systems that employ Microsoft Windows ANSI Code Page1252, <EF16 BB16 BF16> corresponds to the sequence <i diaeresis, guillemet, inverted question mark> “ï » ¿”.

In practice, the UTF-8 BOM pops up. I usually see it on Windows.

The usual problem is that to get promoted to the next level, you have to start building your promotion package again from 0, so these random moves can take away years of life from someone's carrier. At the same time Loom was quite visible project, so I guess it was easy to get promoted there.
