Lol, I thought of that as well; the chik-fil-a cows did it.
To provide context,
I have gone around 6 months without working since I left my last job without another offer in hand. I have done the same thing with my previous 2 jobs as well, but at those times I managed to find a new job within a month. What changed was impact of pandemic and my interest in finding a job in another country.

> Why do people always advise others to find a new job before quitting the current one?

1. Interviews are complicated (and not just technical skill dependent) and sometimes time consuming especially if you are looking for specific companies or domains to work in. Your pace at getting the job might not match the company's. Hence your plan of savings for 3 months might have to be stretched to fit for 5 or 6 months.

2. Explaining why I quit my previous job without another offer was a constant question asked during the initial HR interviews and that required carefully worded answers. Since it was during the covid pandemic the general assumption would have been that I was part of a mass layoff.

3. Your existing job provides the stability for you to negotiate better since you already have something to fall back on. This matters only if you do not have an existing offer in hand.

That's a good point. Yet for how long can the M1 sustain maximum performance, even with fans? And at what temperatures?

Regardless, it's good to see some innovation--no matter how much hype is involved.

Was it Node? I remember it being npm.
I wish browsers showed a large warning like "This site's TLS certificate EXPIRES IN FIVE DAYS", or something.

It would be less shameful to have it than an expired certificate. But most of all, anyone handling the site would have an advance warning, instead of a catastrophic failure. This would lower the number of actual expirations significantly.

Yeah, it's funny, if you read How to Win Friends and Influence People and look only at the techniques mentioned directly without understanding them, you'd end up effectively becoming an old-timey salesman stereotype.

If you look at the techniques being used on you, the reader of that book, and try to understand the principles, it's a much different book.

Those techniques are constantly getting overused and burning out, they're just not a stable foundation to build something like public health communication on.

It's better to do our best to be honest and present all the things we know and don't know and explain when and how new data enters the picture and changes our conclusions. But you have to be aware of that within your own reasoning process first to be able to explain it to someone else, so it's not that easy to communicate.
Why would they use a blockchain rather than a certificate authority?
If anything your comment just reinforces how much of a problem it is, and how deeply it is engrained in society. If sugary processed foods had been developed 5000 years ago, would you be saying the same about those today?

You are associating alcohol == good times, which if you want to do so is fine (we are adults, we have free will), but know that you can have good times without alcohol as well. They aren't mutually inclusive.

There are a few other threads where people say similar things. If you need to have alcohol to have good times, then you do actually have a drinking problem. If you can't imagine going out with friends without drinking, then you do actually have a drinking problem. If you can't imagine eating a meal without drinking, then you do actually have a drinking problem.
They had no offline backups of the DCs, online backups were wiped.

https://www.wired.com/story/notpetya-cyberattack-ukraine-rus...

But the lack of backups is just a symptom. From the article:

In 2016, one group of IT executives had pushed for a preemptive security redesign of Maersk’s entire global network. They called attention to Maersk’s less-than-perfect software patching, outdated operating systems, and above all insufficient network segmentation. That last vulnerability in particular, they warned, could allow malware with access to one part of the network to spread wildly beyond its initial foothold, exactly as NotPetya would the next year.

The security revamp was green-lit and budgeted. But its success was never made a so-called key performance indicator for Maersk’s most senior IT overseers, so implementing it wouldn’t contribute to their bonuses. They never carried the security makeover forward.

Yes, but I can’t put GPL on someone else code. Whoever owns the code has to do it. And when I write code for hire, I have no right to the code, the legal person who hired me does.

So, how would I put a GPL license on code that I wrote for somebody else without their permission?
Corporate greed tends to do that to people. Younger people are surprised how cynical I am, but IMHO that's just my experience.
Capitalism is buyer, seller, and marketplace with enough regulation to keep the trifecta stable.

Capitalism is abstract and plural; the avarice of materialism is concrete and singular.

The minimal regulation that stanilizes the sustem offers competitive feedback to mininize the tyranny of oligarchy that sets in when sellers get materialistic and buy the marketplace.

As for the US it depends on the social group. Definitely lower socioeconomic classes have quite different approaches and in some places a beer with lunch and then more beer in the evening to cope with hard labour is not unusual. And countries differ quite a bit, e.g. UK's binge drinking culture is very unusual in the rest of Europe. The Scandinavians and anything close to russia are known for hard liquor. Etc etc
Doubt it. So many projects these days are made up of multiple corporations and community contributions that I believe open source has basically won out it a lot of places. Things might not be libre like Stallman wanted but open source is here to stay.

Disabling these features for expired certificates and limiting secure cookies to a single session sounds reasonable as a "limp home" degraded functionality mode. Obviously one wouldn't want the padlock icon to be displayed in the address bar in this case.
Glibly? We did. Or, who says it is logical? Either works.
Malformed subject, IIRC.

It's not every cert, mind you (I didn't intend to imply that) it's just the ones that happen to not specify some element. Unfortunately, it's the default of a utility that we use, that's written in Go. It generates a very long-lived cert on start, and by default, it'll be malformed.

We have another utility (that crawls certs looking for ones near expiry. That cert trips it up. (And it now has a configurable ignore-list specifically so that we can ignore that cert.)

But more and more I appreciate libraries who (produce well-formed output) xor (error).

Go also has a "simpler" interface to X.509 in its standard library that will easily produce the wrong (but well-formed; i.e., wrong semantically, not syntactically / not what any user is gong to want) output under very easy-to-accomplish circumstances.

"Why would I want an Alexa app installed to potentially repurpose my phone?"

You wouldn't. However if you were ambivalent and did not care one way or the other, or unaware of the change, then of course you would not bother to opt-out. This is no doubt Amazon's strategy. And when you opt-out you are forced to install an app that may well have worse consequences than Sidewalk.

This strategy, so often used by "tech" companies, seems to take inspiration from direct mail.1 I have a well-educated friend who, many years ago, found himself working for a direct mail company early in his career. He did not stay long. The people he worked for sounded like dregs, and I think he had a crisis of conscience. Today, ethical standards seem to have fallen. Interesting how the word "hustle", as in "side hustle", has been repurposed by young people as something supposedly respectable. Usually that word implies some sort of con or other underhanded activity.2

Except Libel isn't on the same criminal level as rape and sexual assault. Libel is a mostly civil affair and should be dealt with as a civil offense, not criminal, and since its mostly civil, it can have a higher requirement of proof, as weird as it sounds.
I’m Scott Aaronson’s book he calls it Computing with the Anthropic Principle. It’s a fun exercise, though obviously quite dangerous. I believe he also mentions that following this reasoning would lead us to expect that the end of the world is near due to us expecting to live at a time of maximum human population!
Oooh good tip thank you
> Do you have an actual threshold you think would be a reasonable amount of "testing" and a reasonable argument as to why that is an appropriate amount as oposed to just picked at random?

Personally, because the risks of the virus are so low, I'm likely going to wait until the long term safety studies are complete: Oct 2022 and Apr 2023 for Pfizer and Moderna (I forget which is which), and early 2023 for both AstraZeneca and J&J.

And if it turns out I did get the virus already, any vaccine has risk for no reward. Naturally gained immunity seems to be as good or better than vaccine immunity.
America is made of so many subcultures. People find theirs and that's their world. The author is in a set that drinks a lot. Most Americans do not. I think overall America is much more "prudish" than other countries, despite what movies and the news may lead us to believe. At the same time we've basically been genetically selecting for extreme personalities. We're all either descendants of Native Americans or people who left their home and crossed half the world for a new life. If you become an alcoholic here, you really have a problem.

In the UK you can be an alcoholic for decades and still hold down a respectable job. Nobody bats an eye at a few drinks at lunch. I remember feeling so weird the first time I was at a formal event in the UK for a lunch at noon where wine was being served. First time in my life I had felt buzzed and the sun was out and hot. I did not like it at all. But I imagine, with the frequency of these events in academic settings, that half the academics in the more prestigious universities are functioning alcoholics. Many students and young professionals in UK/Europe make it a point to go out and get wasted as much as possible. That happens in the US too, but it seems to be looked down upon more? I think the idea that drinking is more under control in Europe would fade pretty quickly if all alcohol was temporarily banned there for a week.
The best approaches I have found:

- Don't bill hourly. This has the side effects of allowing you to charge a higher effective rate while serving your clients better. Do this without doing any fixed-bid work if you work in software development. Retainers work great for this, but you really need to be clear about responsibilities before assigning a price.

- long-term contracting at a high rate. This looks like full-time work building a complex system over e.g. 12-24 months at an hourly rate (if you earned $100k at your last job, this rate will be over $100/hr). This work often looks like staff augmentation and will have you embedded in a team at the client. Then just work a normal schedule. Take an hour or two a week to reach out to other prospects for when this project ends.
> i.e. there isn't a school with 1,000,000 students and many small ones with 10 students each, and, even if that were the case, if all of the small 10-student schools make up for 10,000,000 students, the probability of an individual coming from the "big one" is only 10%. Come on, this is common sense.

Not sure if it's common sense, but you are right, it is basic probability theory...if you assume that you are randomly distributed over those 11 million total students. But that if fundamentally is NOT a scientific IF, it's a philosophical one, in fact it's a unstated philosophical axiom that underlies tons of lines of reasoning on this subject.

What if we are not randomly distributed amongst possible universes? After all, we are not even randomly distributed amongst all humans who have ever lived (100+ billion)--by definition we are only amongst survivors in the present. Cue the anthropic principle, which mops half of these stupid probability theories right out the door. We a.) have survivorship bias and b.) live in a universe that must, no matter how improbable the chain of events that leads up to this present moment, have been capable of and, indeed, did produce this present moment. Considering that our past is littered with extremely improbable survival events, that means we should not really expect that other places in the universe aren't full of stupidly improbable things too.

What I am saying is that I actually do not believe we live in an average universe. In fact, we can't, because in most, we are dead!

I also don't believe that we're randomly distributed over possible intelligent beings, because why aren't we Boltzman brains?

I'd be wary of just blanket supporting them (saying as someone having X1 Carbon 5th/6th/7th gen in the house): they always get there eventually, but 6th gen in particular required ACPI table patching to re-enable traditional S3 sleep (iow, suspend didn't work). Lenovo officially patched BIOS only a year or so down the line.
This reminds me of Douglas Adams writing about how "on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on--whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man--for precisely the same reasons."
> I lived in Bermuda which is the crossroads for expats from all over the world. Not sure if it’s an expat thing but the Americans didn’t drink nearly as hard as the Brits, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and South Africans.

I'm South African[1]. You'd be an alcoholic too, if you lived here :-)

[1] To be honest though, I rarely have a drink. Had one in 2020, half in 2019, 4 in 2018. I really should drink more, seeing that I still have past b/day presents from my sisters that total about 5 bottles of single-malt scotch, and from my wife a 25 year old Glenfiddich - all unopened.
It's only slightly related to your whole experience (and sorry you lived through such things).. but IMO "emotional relativism" (for the lack of a proper term) is probably a big part of our brains pain ladder.

Injustice is mostly relative-based, for instance. if everybody gets through shit you feel it's painful but okay, if you're the only one getting bad treatment then you feel a lot worse.. abandoned, isolated, alienated, lied to .. the pain and anger can be amplified a lot in those cases.

And in general it's a big issue in society. Many people resent the world because their reality seem worse than whoever is next to them, most of us don't know each others lives, we pretend things are ok a lot but unless we discuss things with some depth, we never know and we can feel unjustly treated and go crazy our peers.

Your comment about the empathetic friends is interesting. Was it a matter of "you say you feel for me but you have no idea what it was, so it's just words" while NYC guys may not care but they know, they went through it.. that's enough for you to feel fair ?
I'm dismayed at how little we seem to know about pesticides, neonicotinoids for example but probably a host of other types. It certainly stands to reason that industrial application of poisons is going to kill a lot of species and destabilize ecosystems.

The decline of insect populations over several decades - which to me is symbolized by the near-extinction of the monarch butterfly, is probably more destabilizing to our environment than the loss of charismatic megafauna would be.

Pesticide policy, if the example of DDT holds, can at least be changed - and hopefully soils and insect populations can recover with protection and management in the same way that raptor populations have recovered in recent years. It will take a lot of work.

> invalidate Alice's agreement with IndependentSoftwareFoundation because Alice didn't follow the right internal procedures with her employer?

Internal procedures are not the law. The contacts are. If the contract says her software belongs to the company, then it does. (Unless the country law says otherwise of course)

Bees do touch soil. Quite often they like to collect water from rich, wet soils and dirty water. It's thought that they enjoy dirty water over clean water due to minerals.
Interfacing to a program over a network is not an act of copying, thus not controlled by copyright. Therefore, attempting to control such usage falls out of the category of copyright licenses (which the GPL is) and into the realm of EULAs (think "you may use this software with at most two network users" - same story).

I used to think the AGPL was an EULA based on an interpretation biased by how people think the AGPL works. Upon looking into this more closely, I've realized this is most likely not the correct interpretation.

Instead, my current opinion is that the AGPL is just a terrible copyright license that is almost impossible to comply with (most AGPLed projects without copyright assignment violate their own license - if you think this doesn't make sense, what I mean is every contributor violates every other contributor's copyright), while not actually protecting against proprietary SaaSification in any legally enforceable way. I could go into more details, but honestly I've told this story one time too many, so I'll just encourage people to read clause 13, word for word, carefully, and think about what it actually means, not what the FSF has convinced everyone it means.
No, it was a mistake not to implement everything in DNS ... since that is what cryptographically determines ownership of a domain anyway. Any other certificate mechanism is just middle men selling snake oil and causing additional administrative overhead.
Why? There’s already a clear better option: teams that run HTTPS sites need to monitor for cert expiry.

It’s the easiest outage to avoid because the moment the cert is generated, you know the exact time it will expire.
For the tax calculation, while it is not favourable in US; it works really well in the contractor's favour in some countries. Having friends who work as contractors (either for remote companies or freelance like), I know this works well in UK and India.

The way it works in their favour is by reducing the taxable income by claiming "expenses"(what they do sometimes enters into an ethically grey territory). Apart from legitimate work related expenses, some people go creative and claim home rent by showing it as an extension of office space, show salary paid to others(like your partner if they don't have a salary or have way less income, so lower tax bracket).

As far as I have heard, depending on the country, the tax paid can be as low as 1/4th of what an employee will pay on a USD 100k salary.
Laws need to be passed which mandate that critical infrastructure continues to function safely, without corporate comms networks.

Anything's possible, but I deny aliens being resident in the solar system is equally possible.

What you're doing is classic "god of the gaps" thinking. Science fiction from 100 years ago imagined aliens on Venus and Mars. From early telescope images, people believed there were canals on Mars. It was all bunk, of course. We have enough data that current live on Mars and Venus looks much less likely. So now you've pushed the little green men back to the parts we can't see as well. That's not because there's any evidence there, but because you have started with a conclusion and you're reasoning toward it.
Congrats on making it this far!

There's something about depression when your mental model of the world becomes a swamp.
