Why?

A company hires an employee because they think they can make more profit than that employee costs them.

My expenses have nothing to do with the equation except when the company wants to be cheap and figures out they can up their profit margin per employee by lowering salaries due to low competition for employees.

Almost certainly not. My understanding of the SJ Games raid was that the Secret Service was issued a search warrant by a court prior to the raid.

18 U.S. Code § 1030 (f) explicitly excepts lawfully authorized investigative activity of a law enforcement agency. The Secret Service is such a law enforcement agency, the raid was an investigatory activity, and since they obtained a search warrant prior to the raid it was a "lawfully authorized" search.

As such, even if there might be liability based on their actions under the other portions of the section (I have no idea on this aspect, I'm not too familiar with the details of what they did as part of the search and seizure), the waiver in (f) is extremely broad and would apply to the Secret Service in that particular case.

> (f) This section does not prohibit any lawfully authorized investigative, protective, or intelligence activity of a law enforcement agency of the United States, a State, or a political subdivision of a State, or of an intelligence agency of the United States.

>From an outside perspective, it is striking how much the woke wave is waning compared to 2020. Trump is gone from Twitter, so a constant irritant has been removed, and people are starting to having a bit of a hangover.

The ongoing self-recrimination in the media over the mass insta-dismissing a year ago of all COVID19 lab leak discussion—despite zero new evidence[1]—being one prominent example of the above, of course.

[1] I don't mean to imply that I don't believe in the theory. On the contrary, I was amazed and alarmed to see how a year ago even stating that SARS-CoV-2 being accidentally leaked from the Wuhan labs was not impossible was censored by social media as "disinformation" and denounced by regular media as already having been "debunked", as opposed to a reasonable hypothesis worthy of exploration. My point is that, as far as I know, there is zero new evidence available today to support the reasonableness of said hypothesis versus a year ago. The only difference is that Trump is no longer in the White House.

This has also happened in the US, even in what would be considered secondary cities like the one I live in. I have seen my house triple in value in 8 years. (My definition of a secondary city are those that are large cities that are not LA, San Francisco, NYC. For example: Salt Lake City, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Austin).

Part of the issue is the percentage of population that lives in cities is higher than at any point in the past so competition for housing is fierce, and seemingly always increasing. I was hopeful that with folks being able to work from home due to the pandemic we might actually see a reversal of this, unfortunately that didn't really happen, although maybe it will require 5-10 years to really take hold and change buying patterns.

I also think raising the interest rate is long overdue, the interest rate was finally raising a little bit until the pandemic hit and was slashed to effectively 0 again. A rising interest rate would likely also lower housing prices, the problem though is that there are likely a number of companies servicing lots of debt that if the interest rate were to rise would be in trouble.
The flip side is that if remote work is absolutely the same, then offshoring and outsourcing are also.

Why have your employees work remotely in a city 100 miles from their original office at 80-90% of the cost when you can have them be 1000 miles from the office at 30-40% of the cost.

If you find employees in Central and South America they would also be in the same timezone.
I totally understand and agree, but that's different from being "easy" to do a hard cutoff. Leaving your laptop at work is a hard cutoff. Asking around, people are feeling less barriers between them and their work, and that leads to more of an "always on behavior". I've seen that in my colleagues and people from other companies have reported the same.
If you have proper tracing and know there's small infection rates in your area, we do this all the time, but still keep the distance.

You could go all isolation and lockdown mode for over a year. Either due to fear, or due to lack of control. However, at some point the costs outweigh those risks.
it's impossible to "fix racism" until people stop profiting from trying to "fix racism." nobody tries to actually fix anything regarding racism, politicians etc. use it as a talking point. 99.99% of the country isn't racist and doesn't like racism and wants it gone, everyone's on board, but somehow nothing ever improves, and, in fact, it sure seems like things just get worse. profit motives need to go, no idea how to accomplish this though.
Which makes it a moot point. The common thread across capitalist, socialist, monarchist, whatever-ist societies with suffering is that humans are involved. Neither capitalism nor socialism is inherently bad; some humans are, especially in aggregate, hence we always need ways to enforce order. The fatal flaw to any utopian society is that the more it depends on trust, the more some people will abuse it and coordinate with others to abuse it. The less trust you have, the more force you need to enforce your worldview on others (which radical liberals and conservatives essentially push for). There is no magical world where we all live in harmony

Herd immunity is not a fixed vaccination percentage pulled from Anthony Fauci’s latest media appearance. It’s the immunity level at which cases stabilize and begin to decline. It is defined by observation.

The statistics are pretty stark if you start with the incorrect assumption that "all men are created equal." This is, quite simply, not the case, and will never be the case. Of course, hell will freeze over before anyone accepts that "horrific" truth.

I'm sure you recognize different dog breeds, and possibly know that certain dog breeds are known to act a certain way. This is due to generations and generations of artificial-selection in breeding. Herding breeds were designed for herding, German Shepherds were designed for herding and protection, Shitzus were designed for companionship.

You probably wouldn't expect to see a Shitzu herding sheep. That does not, in any way, make Shitzu's "less than" a herding breed, they're just built for a different function. Shitzus evolved in environments where companionship was prioritized over herding, obviously.

And yet, when it comes to humans, we choose not to acknowledge this fact: geography influences evolutionary pressures, and evolutionary pressures influence the humans that evolved there. You see this in culture too. Cultures evolve just like the humans that belong to them do, and it's a big soupy mess of genetics influencing behavior/culture, and behavior/culture influencing genetics.

Expecting African Americans to act like neurotic white protestants is fundamentally racist, you're trying to shove a square peg in a round hole. Human diversity is real, except it goes beyond skin color. On average, racial groups exhibit similar behavior, across socioeconomic spectrums. Racial groups evolved in similar geographic regions, they are optimized for survival in those regions, around those people.

"All men are created equal" is perhaps the most harmful lie ever told.

Most of the flexibility comes from the plugins which are a security risk. Either they are just abandoned, have very old dependencies or just don't sanitize inputs.

You'd think Cloudbees would take over abandoned plugins, integrate into the main code or just remove them from the repository for safety but they just let them rot.

We had one of the plugins we use brake after an upgrade because of the dependency hell in Jenkins so we ended up contributing to the plugin to remove the dependency. Thankfully the maintainer was still around to verify our fix and update the plugin repository (we obviously built it locally and tested).

To think that anyone could adopt an abandoned plugins (which could have 1M installs) and just insert some malicious code, with minimum or no oversight is really scary.

Monkey-patching is cool, until it breaks the world. In hindsight the Javascript language ought to prevent this sort of trick from working, but when it was invented none of our modern web was imaginable, so, too bad.

To anybody inventing new languages: If you think there will ever be too many programmers of your language to all fit in one room for an intervention about monkey-patching, you need to ensure it cannot happen. Do it now.
A bunch of organic and permaculture people are discovering that you can feed food waste to chickens. They get a little veg, and then as the rest breaks down the food slowly turns into bugs and worms.

It's morally similar to pre-consumer paper recycling - you're sourcing materials from food services. As long and you can keep the carbon footprint of transportation down, it's something you can use to offset feed corn, which has a large footprint. One place corn wins out is the low moisture content. You're not trucking water back and forth. But the corn doesn't win out on nutrition or quality of life for the animals, nor from a host of environmental concerns.
A decade ago, there was a similar product called "Sekai Camera" [1]. In Japan it was heavily hyped and then spectacularly failed. Maybe it was too early. Maybe the implementation was bad. Or the idea isn't as great as it appears. We'll see.

> Because thermal radiation (the heat of the stove that you can feel from a distance, or from the Sun’s rays) becomes the predominant process for heat transfer, one might feel slightly warm if directly exposed to the Sun’s radiation, or slightly cool if shaded from sunlight, where the person’s own body will radiate away heat.

Since the body also produces heat, would you even feel cool when shaded? If body heat generation outpaces radiation then I think you'd feel warm. Wikipedia puts the energy radiated out as about 2000kcals per day, or right around a human would produce from metabolism. So I guess it basically balances out.

Absolutely, and it probably already is. CFAA is just such an absurdly overbroad law with rather harsh penalties that it gets charged even when there are other more reasonable alternatives.

My main problem with Jenkins was that its architecture made it extremely difficult to automate its provisioning without having to click through the ui at all.

This led to the second big problem which is that updating either Jenkins or one of its plug-ins when they got a new cve (which was every other day) was quite stressful because you could never be sure if something would break - especially for plugins that depended on other plugins (case in point this post)

I have since moved to concourse which has a much more sane architecture - at least for these things.
I think you're right, it's hard to argue they'll do anything near the full extraction playbook that FB/Goog runs because of that diversification, and depending on where the ads are placed, it may not risk the brand much.

My guess is app installs will be their target, for several reasons:

1. A lot of the most expensive/lucrative ads are for apps

2. Apple has better data on this - ad networks had to guess at what apps you had and how to attribute, while the iPhone knows with certainty. [1]

3. Apple already sells these ads in the App Store itself, so it stands to reason putting these ads in apps is just another step.

4. With IDFA gone, a lot of popular apps (that they want in the app store) are losing revenue and will be looking for alternate ways to support themselves. Better for the ecosystem that devs are compensated.

Apple doesn't need to give ads the Apple treatment in the way they do hardware products; they can do the more 'good enough' TV & Music treatment of leveraging their position to get some low hanging fruit. It'll pay for itself pretty quickly and provide a nice revenue stream.

The more strategic value this brings is it gets them a few steps closer to building their own search engine, providing a revenue carrot should they decide to (or need to) break with Google. Creating a search engine isn't exactly in Apple's wheelhouse, but they are shifting toward services and software more and more, it fits well with their privacy-oriented strategy, and Google does still leave a lot to be desired in UX and results. With Apple's very different incentive/revenue structure, there's many decisions they could make differently.

Why hire a team to beta test your AI self driving car when you have customers willing to shell out $10k for the privilege?
A lot of those people are only struggling in the first place because the broken office-first model required them to relocate to a metro where they have no family or social network. This is particularly bad in the tech industry, because the major tech metros are notoriously unsocial. People on the West Coast tend to have fewer friends and be less outgoing[1], so it's particularly hard to meet people when you relocate there from somewhere friendly like the Southeast.

In a remote-first model people could stay located in the areas that suit them best socially. They could live in the hometowns they grew up in, or by their families, or in their college towns. Concentrated industries like tech are particularly bad, because there are so few metro options, compared to the geographic flexibility of doctors or accountants. Office-first in tech is a siren song of loneliness. First it draws us far away from our loved ones, which leaves us with no other option for meaningful human connection outside the workplace.

Interop from Clojure -> Java is still incredibly easy, though. I often will just wrap a Java library rather than look for a pre-existing Clojure implementation because it's so easy. Of course, most Java libs don't value immutability and functional patterns, but you can still push this kind of interop to the edges of your system and keep everything else in pure Clojure.

So I've seen some thoughts of web apps here and a consistent grumbling about app stores (and some pro app store comments, though fewer). With the further encroachment of Webassembly into rich applications over the internet, do you think the mobile browsers will resist putting WA functionality into their codebase to stop losing market share? Or is their monopolistic(?) behavior going to be plied only on those who want an Icon launcher?
How did you interpret JPKab's comment? Maybe I misunderstood, do you agree that a focus on increasing diversity can lead to better products and better company decisions?

This hasn’t been shown yet at all. Statistics showing autopilot have less crashes per mile always ignore that Autopilot is doing the type of driving that has the least accidents per mile (motorway driving).
And if you are significantly poor, missing a day's work to show up to court can cost you your rent, or your job, etc.

I am on the cusp of finishing my first side-project, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it appealing.

If they were happy with the F-22, they'd pay to get the parts. I guess that when you pick a plane because of politics instead of capabilities, you get bitten (really should have gone with the YF-23 even if it didn't put jobs in as many states).

Stealth is NOT about becoming invisible. It's about reducing detection range until it's all but too late to intercept. Even worse, most of the ordinance those planes will be delivering will keep the plane many miles away when firing making interception time even shorter. The AGM-158 fires from around 230 miles away (575 miles for the ER variant). The S-400 can't even detect that far out let alone get enough resolution to react.

Physically smaller reflected cross-section means more stealth no matter the frequency. Giant flat panels radically increase the reflection from the side and marginally from the front.

VHF isn't magic. It's very imprecise to begin with. It's very vulnerable to jamming. It's super-vulnerable to weather patterns (a tropospheric ducting event could have most of the energy trapped in the wrong location). Longer wavelengths vs the X-band make it easier to absorb (E=hv). VHF installations are also very easy to target due to their size and massive power output trying to compensate for that E=hv problem.

Once you know a plane is somewhere within a few dozen miles, you have to send out fighters. They don't exactly have room for those large VHF arrays and those arrays aren't accurate enough to actually target. For that, they need to fall back on X-band, but that's the range that the stealth is optimized for. Once again, the stealth plane can see them from a long way off (maybe even passively) while they can't get their own lock until much closer which usually decides the winner.

Probably not possible to describe. Jenkins is just tool, if used wrong it will bite to operators. Problem with jenkins is that it's takes time to setup workflow. You configure to run plugin-install-tool, JaaC, Jobdsl, Shared Libs, some credential store etc. But when it's up and running, oh boy, it's factory. I have run jenkins with 5k+ jobs. All auto gen, no manual interventions etc.
Gitlab-CI (same as github actions) I like due opinionated approach. It makes things easier if setup is simple, but when you need exceptions or special cases, hack's begins.

But, yes, I have seen so many badly implemented jenkinses.
