HR needs busywork.
Moving 100 miles is one thing. When you move countries/continents, language, work culture & social norms needs to be taken into account, even if the timezone is the same.

It shouldn't matter who I am, but I say this as someone who immigrated into North America after having worked several years in South America. There are real barriers to collaboration that prevent outsourcing from being a silver bullet. They don't make collaboration necessarily impossible or difficult, but these barriers need to be taken into account.
>Put another way, he didn't work around any computer controls to get at the information.

That's irrelevant. You can do unauthorized things without having to "work around" controls.

>He clearly did not hack into the computer system to get the data, and that's what the CFAA was meant to prosecute.

The CFAA was meant to prevent computer-related crimes including but not limited to unauthorized access, fraud, abuse, etc, which this clearly was.
Sorry that you're not entertained.

While obviously not a requirement for encryption, my comment is designed to draw attention to what's becoming a pattern of Microsoft not focusing on much needed performance improvements and instead continuing to layer new features on top of a shaky core experience.
As are Kia/Hyundai? You still get the warranty on a used car, it just keeps ticking over until 7-10 years. They’re no different in this regard.
"Neurotic" does have a negative connotation in common usage, but it's also the term used by personality psychologists, it's the 'N' in the OCEAN personality model. It means "risk averse".
What is not right about the statement? Jews are overrepresented, it's not a secret or some dumb conspiracy, but a fact.
I am in the same boat. Looking at getting a new vehicle and Kia is near the top of the list because of warranty. I'd love to hear about personal experiences with the brand.

I've owned GM, Honda, Ford, VW, and Chrysler. I've been very disappointed in all of them.
> That said, the reason why most homeschoolers are much better off today is because parents who care about education and have the wherewithal to tutor their child self-select to homeschool.

If you believe in the growth mindset, you necessarily have to reject this idea that homeschoolers are a gifted bunch whose success cannot be replicated.
What's wrong with having unpopular opinions? Like not being against Apple's App Store policies in any strong manner?

We're humans after all, and having opposable thumbs is one of the driving pillars of our progress and civilization, if not the one pillar.
> In-office work needs to be compensated differently than WFH.

Do you mean pay you more because the office no longer needs to provide space and power for you, but you provide it for yourself? ... and because you can be called 'in' faster without the 45 minute commute?

:P
I could also just have compared two cases, which both make it easier for the consumer to decide, by eliminating options he had before. There were no troubles to choose between ananas and bananas whatsoever in Eastern Germany. Very quick decision making possible, no kids crying in the back of the car.

I will continue: Inside prison, you have even less problems with choosing where and what to eat.
There would ideally be no “better school districts”, because they would receive the same (population-adjusted) funding, and teachers would be paid similarly enough that schools couldn’t unfairly attract the best teachers. Getting rid of all private/charter schools can help with that. So can centralizing the school funding (so that richer districts can’t somehow secure more funding for their school.)
For one, I'd argue that working from home probably requires additional pay over working in the office. I'm sure some people have a "spare" bedroom that they can convert into an office, but there's a lot of people, including almost all the tech-oriented professionals under 30 that I know, that don't even have their own one bedroom apartment, let alone are able to pay for a second bedroom just in case. Working at the kitchen table all day around roommates (or partners, or children if you're a parent, or maybe even disruptive pets) is not exactly a recipe for deep work productivity.

If workers are also now expected to provision their own work space (space, desk, chairs, monitors, etc.), then the compensation model around those jobs also needs to be adjusted to account for that.
This feels like such a disingenuous argument. Most of the countries where Android sells well are countries with way lower purchasing power and this would even reflect in sales of all software, not just Android one. Also, Android phones in China are not necessarily using Play Store.

Most of the sales of Android phones are at a lower price bracket which might indicate the purchasing power of customers, so they would naturally have less purchasing power than ones on iOS. People with more purchasing power would spend more on even apps and this reflects in the App Store revenue.

There are certainly people who buy Android flagships because they prefer the platform/device but this might not be true for lower end Android phones. iPhone has an aspirational value in many parts of the world.
I think that is not really true remember work is not just "me me me" its a collective endeavor.

The only reason a dealer would push back against the argument is if they felt they had a pushover

I mean by that logic no work can ever be warrantied, who knows if someone went and opened up your oil drain plug if 10 miles out of the shop your car dies and it looks like someone forgot to fill it back up with oil?

Literally the only benefit I can think of for dealer visits outside of exotics is that they're usually high volume enough that in cases like this they can come up to bat for a regular. That's it.
We should also separate the concept of fairness from the reality of wealth in today's society. If a robot is doing the work which makes workers irrelevant, is that the fault of the workers? Should the productivity of the robot be taxed? (I believe it should - otherwise we are in a capitalist dystopia)
What if the artist issues the NFT during a live stream of the creation of the digital artwork? It seems odd to me that we would consider a physical painting to “embody” the creative process, but somehow the creative process of a digital painting is lost forever?
> With modern combat aircraft the easy part is the working airframe actually.

Is there such a thing as a “working airframe” for modern combat aircraft? Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxed_stability, I have the understanding that, for modern combat aircraft, you can’t consider the airframe to be separate from the software.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but I've suspected that this often-quoted disparity has something to do with China, and how Apple still controls iOS app distribution in China but the Play Store has much lower usage. So, you get weird aggregates because the total revenue numbers don't include the Chinese specific Android app stores (which, by the way, are insane; Huawei takes a 50% commission on game sales in their's, and its the biggest by far).

All given the size of the Chinese market, their love of mobile games, and the massive portion of App Store revenue games represent.

That's not to say the App Store isn't more profitable than the Play Store, per user, just in the US, but its a closer margin here, and I think the massive disparity on a global scale has to signal that something else is going on

(in addition to the obvious: Apple doesn't make good cheap phones, just not in their DNA, but Android manufacturers do, so lower income individuals will bias toward Android phones, and these people would spend less in the associated application stores)

They sold 2017 cars with a time bomb that goes off in 2022, and nothing to do about it. LTE capable devices were around for years at that point.

> harassment in online gaming is frequent and serious, even for non-marginalized people. A staggering 74% of US adults who play online multiplayer games experience some form of harassment, and 65% report experiencing some form of “severe” harassment, such as physical threats, stalking, and sustained harassment. The unfortunate consequence has been that 23% of online multiplayer gamers who have been harassed avoid certain games due to the player base’s reputation for harassment.

> More than half of online multiplayer gamers who experience harassment believe they were targeted because of their identity. Women (38%) and LGBTQ+ (35%) players reported the most online harassment. In addition, Black or African American (31%), Hispanic and Latinx (24%), and Asian-American (23%) players weren’t far behind in these negative experiences. And Jewish and Muslim (19%) players reported being targeted because of their religion.

> > Fun as a monolithic principle silences the voices of marginalized gamers and promotes reactionary, territorial behavior from within privileged spaces of the games community. Moving beyond fun, by contrast, opens up whole genres of possibilities, many of them queer. The spirit of no-fun is the spirit of alternatives, of disruptions, of difference.

>If Apple wishes to continue advancing bizarre corporate-accounting arguments, the massive profits from the hardware business are what therefore truly “pay the way” of the App Store, public APIs, developer tools, and other app-development resources, just as the hardware profits must fund the development of Apple’s own hardware, software, and services that make the iPhone appeal to customers.

You can ignore everything else from this post. The developer gripes with the App Store have always been a contractual dispute between businesses over terms. Marco would like Apple to have the Mac business model apply to the iPhone. He wants to be able to use the SDK and tools for free (or for the nominal developer program annual fee).

This is understandable from a business perspective; everyone wants lower costs and higher profits. But it's certainly not in Apple's customers' interests for their business model to change to accommodate developers.
> This gives platforms parity at some level and doesn't concentrate the power in the hands of a single platform.

Chrome would be that platform, is what I'm saying. That would be your new OS, on every "platform". Devs & companies already skip testing on FF fairly often. Chrome good? Mobile Safari good? Ship it. You'll notice that IE/Edge used to be on that short list of must-test browsers, but it's just Chrome now. That's not going to get better for FF or WebKit-derived alternative browsers if mobile Safari gets banner-ad'd ("Google Docs is so much better in Chrome! Click here to download it now!" just like they did on desktop) into irrelevance. Google would get to dictate features, and the Web would just have them, and that's it, no step of trying to get anyone else on board (right now, "anyone else" is, for practical purposes, just Apple)
I checked this out. Turns out I was aware of the one for my university, but they only host written documents. Mostly PhD theses, a few other bits and pieces. No code or huge datasets.
Curious if this is just marketing from Porsche. Makes no sense why VW wouldn't adopt the system for similar effects. I'm not sure I buy the reasoning but I'll keep a open mind.
The S in Linux ditto.

Linux has a far wider attack surface than my baremetal embedded firmware. Like 10^6 wider. There's a single mqtts service mostly, or just passive senders (sensors, controllers). Zero attack surface.

Linux is way too big, with thousands of drivers, services and patches.
Good gravy, this is a lot to unpack. It's an alarming story from the very beginning, and a cautionary tale of how tempting it is to do everything with Jenkins, even though it's an appropriate tool for absolutely nothing in the Year of our Lord 2021.

> As part of our automation setup, we continuously run integrity jobs to inspect our Jenkins nodes.

Why on earth would you self-host this in Jenkins? This is a monitoring and alerting problem.

> These jobs check system configurations and properties and look to see if any node is failing those checks.

What year is it? We've solved this with immutable infrastructure or system integrity monitoring. Or both.

> The checks automatically mark Jenkins nodes as offline when any of those checks fail and notifies our Mobile Build & Release team via a Slack message.

"Mark" offline? Why not just terminate it? And why do we care if build nodes come and go? These should be cattle, not pets. If they all die at once, that's bad. If they're cycling in and out, that's business as usual.

> When our Jenkins UI stopped working, we noticed two things:

> 1. We had recently upgraded Jenkins and all its plugins to a newer version

Did they just now learn what an awful idea this is? All of this at once, really?

This isn't so much a Jenkins problem (though let's be clear, Jenkins is a problem) as it is a remedial engineering problem. The top takeaways should be "choose appropriate tools for the task at hand" and "don't make reckless decisions with brittle systems".
As someone who runs a large build cluster at a major corp, Jenkins is clunky and outdated. It's a pain to deploy and keep maintained. I'd rather stub my toe than figure out why some event isn't being properly processed in the bowels of Jenkins.

However, when coupled with Kubernetes, Jenkins is more powerful than almost any other CI tool.

You can orchestrate any iteration of build types or actions while easily providing the underlying resources transparently to your users.

Notice that almost every other CI tool mentioned here is either 3rd party hosted or severely limited in some fashion when compared to Jenkins.
No, it's precisely the other way around. The XKCD comic attempts to reframe one of the most important philosophical foundations of democracy as somehow legally unsound, or otherwise completely dismissable when it comes to ideas that are in the minority. When one is in the majority, implies Randall, it is their right to take part in the suppression of minority ideas. That sort of questioning of democratic fundamentals runs directly contrary to the ideals of a free society.

The whole point of free speech is to allow for fringe, crazy, bad ideas, so that we can put them in the light and suss them out. Without that, there is darkness, and we all know what happens to democracy in darkness.
Your expenses also do not determine your value to the company. It's simple supply and demand.

If you require $250/hr but a smart person in say Brasil will do the same work, to the same standards, for $100/hr, what is the rationale for the company to keep paying you? You might complain that the Brasilian is leaving money on the table but that's not in your control.

> And if everyone pulled their kids out of public school, virtually all of those children would be better off

Except for the children who aren’t able to be pulled out of public school. They would be far worse off.

If you’re advocating getting rid of public schools as an institution, what are you replacing it with? Just not educating kids at all if their parents can’t afford it? Do you view education as a right or a privilege? Would you at least agree that society is better off if everyone is educated, or do you think it’s just a perk that you can go without?
I’m still paying for Altium. Last time I tried KiCAD I couldn’t assign a net to arbitrary polygons, which is critical for RF work. It still has a ways to go to catch up with Altium, which is $2k/year maintenance.
Totally agree. I'm using your phone, your app store and download APP which leads me paying 30% to you, and you show me Ads for more money?!
Because Apple markets and sells a product to the middle class, who are willing to spend that kind of money. Furthermore, the Indian market is almost entirely ignored by Apple, so it's no wonder that they're able to get Android phones into so many hands. The optics of this check out, are you trying to suggest that Apple's App Store is magically more profitable than Google Play, therefore better?

I was thinking in general terms of bias and prejudice. You can’t remove it from existence because those aren’t qualitative terms. A decent person can recognize and actively combat bias, but not erase it. You’re still going to have some form of bias. At least I haven’t met a single persom who does not.

Now you’re talking about discrimination. Those can appear mild and harmless in single instances, but the accumulation is the problem as you said but also what we could call passive ignorance. In my experience people are often not even aware of being discriminatory, some are even well meaning, but are patronizing.

But there is a key difference in a spectrum of bias/prejudice and flat out not reflecting on our behavior.

I realize I‘m discussing semantics here, just wanted to explain how I understand those terms in my response.

SCOTUS disagrees with you, and so do I.

> The CFAA was meant to prevent computer-related crimes including but not limited to unauthorized access, fraud, abuse, etc, which this clearly was.

He didn't do any of those with respect to the computer system. He accessed a resource that he had authorization to access as part of his job. He misused it, but didn't break into the system or gain access by fraud. His reasons for accessing the data were wrong, but his access was authorized.
Hyundai backed it up by actually genuinely improving build quality.

In comparison, Chrysler has toyed with 10-year warranties by just treating it as a marketing expense. But in their efforts they never really improved in build quality and resale value showed it.
I'm also curious. It seems like the website has been around for 2 years and hasn't changed much. If they wrote 250k lines in two years, that is around 340 lines a day.
That seems like a rather large project to build before putting it in the hands of customers.
Facebook and other social networks (Google+ for example) played a huge role in this* by enforcing real name policies. It's more profitable to advertise to users when you know who they are, where they live, how they shop, what they eat, etc, and not just their screen name.

> They should be forced to allow competing browser engines(not just skins on Safari engine) on the platform

I really don't want to have multiple browsers installed on my phone & swap between them because some web app works in one browser, but not another. Mobile browsing is already pretty shitty, I don't think fragmentation will make it any better.
I'm firmly in camp "office time sounds wonderful" because I live alone, and as it turns out, not having any humans nearby is downright depressing. I'm also somewhat introverted (weird, right?) and while I was living with other people, I desired quite the opposite; staying at home was much less distracting than being in the chaos of a shared space most days.

So which do I prefer? Ehh, it depends. I'm not planning to live alone forever, it's just where I'm at right now. I'd imagine others are in a similar boat; we're different, and not necessarily constant either. So, as much as I encourage opening the offices back up and will take part in that space if given the chance, I wouldn't force that on anyone. I think the responsible thing to do is to measure performance rather than seat-in-chair, and so long as everyone's pulling their weight, let each employee make their own informed decision. It's their health on the line, after all, and healthy employees do better work.
Seattle area has had access at least as long, and I drove 90 minutes to get that shot as early as I could. I hit full vaccination status on Monday of this week, so no outdoor lunches for me last week. Which makes me kinda wonder what point you're trying to make.
My entire team has been fully vaccinated for weeks at this point. If we did get everyone together we would obviously make exceptions for anyone who isn't vaccinated yet or even just doesn't feel comfortable yet. My wife and I have been fully vaccinated for awhile, and even then, doing things in public has been weird.
IMHO, Apple can keep their 30% fee on their store if they open the platform to 3rd party stores.

If Apple has to raise prices on their hardware to stay is business, that seems much fairer that using addicted mobile gamers to subsidize hardware for everyone else.
