Adjusted for inflation it does look like it was down a bit during last year, but Q1 there seems to be a rise again. What's interesting is that it looks like the Dublin prices have seen a wild 10 years of volatility.
Thanks for the additional detail. It's a rare success story among hundreds of negative stories. You might want to write it up, likely many outlets (both pro and anti HOA) would be interested in publishing, because it shows the system working as designed, and breaks the stereotype of older people monopolizing HOA boards. You could inspire an entire generation to take an interest in practical local governance :)
>I want to be able to distribute my project to potential users and allow them to use it freely while also preventing competitors from copying the ideas into their own products.

1. If your product is truly great and you build it well, chances are your own momentum will carry you into building a great moat. Most SaaS companies, with novel technology, have very few similarly sized competitors. Your time is best spent building your company as technology rarely "makes" the company.

2. If a startup steals your idea and grows fast enough for you to notice (with enough VC money or something) they will just ignore you until they are big enough to pay you off. While you are spending money on lawyers they will be spending money on customer acquisition.

3. If a large company steals your idea, they will either out lawyer you or counter sue with whatever patent library they have.
Indeed, merit and diversity are not in opposition to each other at all. Hiring based on merit from a largely homogeneous talent pool will net you largely homogenous candidates. I don't think a company has any responsibility do anything but hire the candidates with the most merit. Do you?
I could just as easily state that "people who push for diversity" have a tendency to define "merit" in a way that is wildly biased. What is biased or unbiased specifically in terms of hiring software engineers on their merit?
I've had this sentiment for a while now. From my experience I see companies bloat their teams with engineers mostly because they want full control over every line of code and estimate. I have to produce more status reports than code, and that just feels wrong. Software is itself a solutoin to so many problems of process in companies, but the tendency is to throw more people at the problems, instead of better "engineering" (for lack of a better term).

That said, raising the bar for software engineers would produce more correct software, at the consequence of needing less people, and therefore making the whole field even less accessible to juniors and non-math people that want to also code. A good comprimise here would be having a technical hierarchy that rivals the non-technical hierarchies, such that the top software engineers (who writes code and knows about correctness etc, etc) can influence the business decisions as well.
That’s a weird analogy, since you get to choose which “government” to be a part of, and they’re only chosen by 45% of the United States and 17% of the world.
If you know how to code and admin boxes, you have your pick of jobs. There’s no reason to ever go back to an office if you don’t want to unless you’re on some terrible immigration twist-your-arm situation where you get deported if you get fired from that particular job.

Your use case is much cheaper with just a wiki. The NFT layer only adds lots of cost and speculation.

Or a single trusted entity is more likely to organically arise than an NFT market solution.

The issue that these sound decent in theory, but in practice they suck because of costs. And for sustainability, I’d rather deal with the government to run it.

If they would arise organically, they would have already. The problem is that the incentives is for jerks trying to make money than people to collaborate.
I seem to remember somewhere Toyota offering (shorter than 10 yr) warrantees optionally priced with basic services included - e.g. pay $X, you are covered for 5 year with 7 standard services in that time. If $X is reasonable, that's not a bad way to manage it.
I struggle to see how this justifies the claim that "Jenkins is really a technology anti-pattern".

You are describing bad maintenance, bad architecture, and bad execution, I fully agree with this. Jenkins is clearly old and it has old approaches to complexity.

But an "anti-pattern" implies that using it moves you further from your goal. When I was a noob with 2y of software development, primarily writing React & NodeJS APIs, I stood up a Jenkins VM and was able to correctly set up a CI/CD system building, testing, and deploying containerized microservice-based architectures via Docker and Jenkinsfile alone. I encountered extremely few issues with the core of Jenkins, because it is a pipeline runner and it has a lot of ways to run pipelines.

So to me, it looks like you use the word "anti-pattern" too liberally, since I don't think there are any other free open-source pipeline runners that would meaningfully integrate git webhooks and clone source code easily for me. But perhaps you disagree because of your final opinion, which is that standing up production-grade CI/CD for bigger workload would be faster avoiding Jenkins.

Still, not sure I even agree with that claim. I have seen it used to great success in many contexts. Does it have lots of problems? Yes. Anti-pattern? Tough sell.
Totally understandable!
My father has 2012 Sonata with a 2.4 Theta II engine, which has failed at 70k miles. Dealer replaced with no fuss and he had a nice loaner for 2 months. Initially, he had to pay for a loaner before dealer inspected it. Hyundai corporate was a pleasure to work with to get his money back.

I bought a 2019 santa fe with the same engine. As these engines are now covered under lifetime warranty. I had 0 problems with the car in the last 2 years, and honestly I am quite amazed with how much of car I got for 34k with 0% financing. I have the highest trim with AWD, which had original MSRP of $39k, so I did get a decent deal.

IMO, hyundai/kia is a great buy, Toyota/Honda used to be a good deal some years ago but right now their cars are overpriced, toyota especially.

Toyota does still retain value quite well. However, carmax offered me $32k for my car, so almost what I paid. This most likely due to the chip shortage so that value would probably be lower normally.

I don't think these statements are necessarily wrong, but I might push back a bit.

On a smaller team, hiring high performers is obviously important. But for large organizations, there is a WIDE tolerance for incompetence. Hiring staff consistently underestimate how much can be learned on the job. Mid-managers are much, much more easily replaced than anyone wants to admit - and if you are already hiring lifestyle employees, you may as well be hiring a diverse set of project jockeys.

I won't go so far as to say merit is a myth, but adequately assessing merit at scale during a hiring process does feel pretty fraught.
No, because with mathematical proof you can realistically go through the derivations to approve/refute them. It is a short hand referencing something which can be disproven, therefore not an appeal to authority.

Using "experts" here IS an appeal to authority. Bias is at play here in a way that it is not in mathematical proofs. "Experts" is used here to provide cognitive ease to the reader, as a way of encouraging them not to examine deeper.
Presumably this would be easy to pivot to if the initial run is successful. McDonalds didn’t start with its franchise structure either. You would want to own the whole stack while developing the concept, if it were successful then franchising it out once all of the details of quality operations are worked out.

i.e. you have to start a hamburger stand before you think about how your burger empire is going to run
> Am I a diverse hire?

I feel like the problem started when diversity switched from a group measure to an individual label.

Individuals aren't diverse. A 100% Black team isn't racially diverse. A 100% gay team isn't sexual orientation or gender diverse. Asking whether a bisexual Latina is "diverse" or a "diverse hire" should be meaningless.

people want to fight for change, but if they got the change they wanted, then there would be nothing more to fight for. politicians and other powerful people (I realize I'm speaking very generally here) recognize this and use it to create a perpetual motion grifting machine. people enthusiastically donate money to causes and the money ends up largely going nowhere near the people it's supposed to help. we elect the First Black President of the United States of America, thinking that surely, at some point in his eight years of Presidency, he'll do something to directly help black Americans... and then nothing happens, and, well, maybe the next guy will do it. I'm 30 and I've seen this cycle repeat for at least the half of my life I've been vaguely conscious about politics. at some point we have to recognize that the politician-promised solutions that are always around the corner are not in fact ever coming, and we need to hold them thusly accountable. until then, there is no grift more personally profitable than paying lip service to the desire to fix major societal problems, then doing jack shit about them for elected term after elected term, only to go right back to the useless lip service around re-election time. we need some kind of serious political movement that holds elected officials to task for what they claim to want to accomplish. until this happens, we're going to be stuck in the same endless cycle of not-getting-shit-done forever, with people re-electing the same people over and over again solely based on how good their ideas sound when vocalized.
When I was at a small startup, our Wikipedia article was written by our PR/sales guy, with all citations linking to puff announcements the same PR/sales guy sent to various startup-friendly "news" sites.

It's not like random people disconnected from the startup cared enough to write or edit an article about it.
I have to second this recommendation and add my favorite video[0] of his, "Kick Me In The Asteraceae, with Helianthus annuus," about sunflowers. It's truly an informative and down to earth take on what can be a very stuffy and jargon-dense subject.

Hence “quietly but significantly.” I certainly never said a felony was the first option.

From a defense in depth standpoint, the CFAA served as sort of a final stopgap, in that it gives HR legal precedent to fire someone who did something moronic with their IAM.
If I were to attend job fairs at a number of top Chinese Universities, with headcount to hire 10 students, would I be in violation of EEO Law?

What if I had 2 head count, and I first posted to an internal job board before posting to our public careers page. Would I still be in violation of EEO Law?

The point I'm making is while diversity goals are dumb sounding on the surface--in theory they force companies to examine innocuous policies and processes that skew hiring towards a certain group of people.
But that's always been true. And companies are going to do that if they can, regardless if we WfH or WfW. More than a few of us have seen the mass firings, and training some barely-comprehensible foreign workers, whom wreck the place, and then the company calls and begs us to come back.

That's literally the same argument about the "Fight for $15" - the argument is 'yer gonna get automated'. That's going to happen no matter what.
It's not really suitable for latency-critical applications.

Unless of course, after a deeper research one discovers than the parts of town where blue hair people live have more access to tech tools and tech information growing up and therefore explains why after reaching working age there are more blue haired people working in tech companies.
Questions:

* Should there be a distinction between violating a written policy; and bypassing a technical barrier?

* Should there be a distinction between doing something that you are ordinarily permitted to do, but for an unpermitted purpose; and doing something that you are just never permitted to do?

It seems that the Court didn't answer the first question, which is more interesting to me.
After a while it got easier for us to write our own code to automate things than to try and piece together a wordpress-like component system.

We still have Jenkins running somewhere, but I can't remember the last time I needed to run a job on it.
Which is pretty much redlining
> you should expect half the candidates to be of each hair colour, and half of the successful applicants of each hair colour.

The issue we see is that the blue haired people simply aren't applying for our positions, despite the best efforts of the recruitment department who have been told to hire more blue haired people because it makes the green haired management look bad.

The people doing the hiring are then told they are discriminatory and are sent on courses.

The real issue of course is much more complex and has everything to do with culture, and genetics (women generally have differing interests to men for example - for evolutionary reasons).
People who love to work in the office often lack social skills to find friends outside of work and it is their substitute.

The first link is about Germany. I specifically mentioned the US. It's also about anti-Semitic _violence_, not public statements, another thing that I made sure to clarify. I'd be pretty comfortable guessing that anti-Semitic violence is more right-skewed, incl in the US.

Your second link is interesting, thank you. Caputo in particular is a good example of anti-semitism among rightwing public figures. It doesn't dispute my impression that anti-Semitism (and other racism) on the left is much more acceptable in public statements than rightwing public anti-Semitism; it just claims that the media disproportionately focuses on leftwing anti-Semitism (possibly true).

I don't think complaining about Internet votes is particularly constructive, but this is more of an insight than a complaint: the downvotes on my original comment are a perfect reflection of how inanely most people engage with topics like these. There are "good guys" and "bad guys", and the "good guys" don't do any of the bad things. I don't use the phrase anti-Semitism reflexively, and think it's often wielded as a bludgeon, particularly in the context of criticism of the Israeli government. But the idea that one would be surprised at anti-semitism on the far left, like the comment I responded to, is ridiculous.
I must admit that I got put off by the lack of abstractions for the common use cases. The resources/input/output model is so primitive that it almost feels like programming a Turing machine.

Sure, merit and diversity are not in opposition to each other, but merit and politics at work are. I have seen Google transform from a place where people focus on the users getting the best search results to the place where talking and thinking about diversity takes a lot of communication bandwidth from meetings (hopefully it's better now, as I didn't stay).
So as far as I can tell the only way to do diversity hiring legally, and not 'nudge-nudge-wink-wink' legally, is to change the distribution of your pipeline through demographically informed advertising. If someone enters your funnel and you use race etc as a decision making factor then you're probably breaking the law (1). If you advertise a role as for a specific gender or race you're definitely breaking the law.

So to get the change at the end of the hiring pipeline you want you need to make sure the top of the pipeline are skewed strongly in the direction you want to move the company. Maybe I'm off base but this takes two things:

1. Stop advertising in forums / regions / services that don't match the target demographics you need at the top of the pipeline.
2. Start advertising in ones that do.

(1) Don't get me wrong, I would support changing laws to make it easier to explicitly correct historical iniquities.
Again, it’s the fact that the artist issued the NFT. Why are autographs from famous people valuable (sentimentally, and sometimes financially) even though signing autographs doesn’t require much creativity or effort, and signing autographs has nothing to do with why the people are famous?

The thing is, Gitlab & co. almost all mandate Docker.

You don't use Docker, the list of options narrows down dramatically.

You need to support non-Linux OSes, same thing.

If your needs are limited, yeah, something other than Jenkins is better. If they're not... I don't think there's a better alternative to Jenkins.

Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp (/duːˈʃɑː/;[1] French: [maʁsɛl dyʃɑ̃]; 28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968) was a French-American painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, Dada, and conceptual art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcel_Duchamp

Fountain is a readymade sculpture by Marcel Duchamp in 1917, consisting of a porcelain urinal signed "R. Mutt". In April 1917, an ordinary piece of plumbing chosen by Duchamp was submitted for an exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, the inaugural exhibition by the Society to be staged at The Grand Central Palace in New York.

They can, this is a misconception. Create a new type, and make it so that it's only produced by a function that checks if the age is superior to 18.
>Think of walking into a restaurant and they have a sign that says "Employees Only Behind Counter". Even if there was no technical/physical control preventing you from going behind the counter (eg there was no locked door or anything like that), I think it would still be understood that you as a customer do not have "authorization" to go back there.

But if a customer was invited back there because they said they wanted to thank the chef? They're told not to touch anything, they touch something. Do we view that touching something as breaking the same rule as someone who just walks back there uninvited or is it another rule they are breaking?

I can definitely see arguments for both views. Especially compelling to me based on the analogy is once you've taken the first unauthorized by policy action no other actions other than leaving would be authorized though this interpretation would lead to its own absurdities.

I think that the fact that it is easy to re-implement once seen is what is interesting. From my understanding, the patent system was designed to protect ideas that once in the 'public eye' could easily be copied by companies with more resources.

A hypothetical example is that a small toy maker comes up with the idea for the Big Wheel (https://www.amazon.com/Original-Big-Wheel-Inch-Tricycle/dp/B...). They patent the design for the concept and begin manufacturing the Big Wheel. Once on the market, a big toy manufacturer could easily begin producing the exact same product because they have the resources to, so the fact that it is easy to reimplement does not mean that it is contradictory for the inventor to want a patent. The patent on the 'invention' of the Big Wheel would be the only thing the small inventor has to protect themselves.

I know that the world and community has benefited from open source and freely available software and that there is a bad history of software companies using the patent system in debatable ways, but there are also cases where it can look like big companies take advantage of the free and open ecosystem in ways that disincentivise future innovations.

I don't know if I've ever heard of a public school classroom being called "highly managed" before, is the thing. They seem like chaos to me. Always someone whispering or goofing off or being disruptive. I figured that would be hard.
> would you freak out if the maid took a dump in your toilet AND then cleaned it? That cuts to the heart of whether they're a fellow human doing exchange-value with you as a true equal, or whether they're a class that should not be using the employer's private toilet.

Ha, no of course not. I also think it’s not a very good test because almost no one would care. Me not being able to afford to buy things or not being skilled enough to command a high wage doesn’t mean I’m not equal as a human being, it just means I can’t afford things.

I would expect that maid services are very strict because some people are super picky about their toilets. I know people who won’t let family members use their toilet, much less some stranger. It’s not worth the risk for a maid service to lose the work. Not really a good indicator of valuing humans.

Maybe a better test would be whether I allow a maid to drink from my water or something like that.
