Six months ago. I’m not sure it’s fair to say “there’s a pandemic going on” anymore. The vaccine is readily available. There are cases where this might not be enough to end the pandemic from your perspective (immunocompromised family member, etc) but we wouldn’t expect very many.
Those number's aren't that related to low head dams (most low head dams fatalities are swimmers, not whitewater kayakers or rafters or rec kayakers). While the mechanism behind low head dams (technical term hydrolic, informally called a 'hole') can directly or indirectly kill you, they're typically a natural feature in whitewater fatalities.

I know those numbers b/c it lets me tell my parents that whitewater kayaking isn't as dangerous as they think.
>>Many hourly jobs love to schedule people at seemingly random times, so they'll never know from one week to the next what times they'll have free and can't make commitments outside of work.

Some employers do this on purpose because they don't want their employees getting second or even third jobs that might leave them exhausted by the time they arrive for their shifts at the first job.
I have thought of writing the same article! Someone needs to do it.
The certs are more just to tick some checkboxes when working with certain enterprise clients (my guess).

I hate certs, but if you want in on certain projects, it doesn't hurt to have the desired certs, especially if you can get your employer to foot the bill.

Just because I don't agree with someone's perspective, doesn't inherently make it low value or not thoughtful. I find I often learn much from people I disagree with, even if their argument didn't change my mind.

I don't think I've ever used a website that's able to run offline before aside from Google Docs (and that requires a browser extension). When the Internet goes offline I close the browser and use regular software where my mind can context switch to offline mode to minimize any risk of being further distracted by an outage that's not within my power to address.

The way I see it, these PWA client-side caching technologies are mostly used by news websites to install permanent service workers on my PC that run in the background after the tab is closed to mitm http requests, phone home every day, and have a kill switch over my data associated with their origin. What's my data? I don't even know. For example, I noticed the Western Digital Forum (I don't even remember visiting it) had a service worker that managed to store 1gb of content to my hard disk. What's in it? I don't know. Chrome doesn't let me see it. Maybe it made the whole forum available offline for me to enjoy. Or maybe I'm an unknowing member of their new cloud storage service. Can't tell. The lack of visibility, lack of consent, and lack of options to disable these emerging standards are in themselves an issue. We should be focusing on making local apps better, rather than having browsers foray into territories that are not in sync at all with expectations.

I think between Uber Eats delivery prices and generous delivery driver tips, a whole ton of people have been used to paying a lot more for their food, with most of it not even going to the restaurant. They can probably get away with raising their prices more now that we seem to be more or less "back to normal".
> A corporation that fails to provide an adequate return for their investment to its employees and customers is just as likely to fail as one that does not reward its shareholders adequately.

Author distinguishes corporation from employees in following sentence, so managers likely refers to employers which employ the employees. Employees are those who are employed by employers, the managers are those employers.

Well if you truly don't care about the output at all, then you don't care about the ethical nature of what you're building. So it wouldn't matter to you if it's malware, spyware, ransomware...

Personally, I think it's important to have some interest and sense of responsibility in the final product you're contributing to, not just solving technical problems.

Not sure about other newer "force-touch" devices but on my iPhone 6s (which is running the latest iOS 14.6), I am able to force touch a review and get a "Report concern" option along with "Helpful"/"Not-helpful":

Tapping the report concern option gives me ability to report it:

> allowing the possibility that this could still happen unintentionally

Btw, this is also a key point: if we are going to do research that could unintentionally result in the release of a deadly pathogen, we need to agree as a society in advance on what countermeasures we will put in place if that happens. Leaders of society should not be having to "wing it" about these things after the release has occurred. For example, if the only way to stop a pandemic once the release reaches a certain stage is to stop all international travel, then everyone needs to agree in advance that if there is a release, and it reaches that stage (which in the case of COVID-19 would have been roughly mid-January 2020, when it was clear that infected people were making it from China to other countries), all international travel gets stopped until the outbreak is contained, no exceptions. (Imagine if that had been done in January 2020--we might have had no pandemic at all, and a lot less economic disruption overall to boot, since China, if you believe their numbers, had their outbreak under control by February 2020.) And if that gives a lot of people second thoughts about whether such research should be allowed at all, if that kind of drastic consequence has to be planned for, good.
Yes you are right. However, my gripe is related. I've seen tens of articles posted here about the lack of available talent in engineering and thought there may be parallels to less skilled work.
The issue is that ifconfig and ip do not recognize the Private-Use Networks under any flag and thusly query DHCP for the public address, nor does DHCP have such a query. (To my knowledge.)
After you sink the boat you can pick the crew up and give them free tickets to Disney Land or throw them in jail it doesn't matter when it comes to dissuading illegal fishing.

The point is to make the expected ROI of trespassing in other nations' territorial waters negative. The crew is cheap and easy to replace relative to the boat. So you have to make the boat go away (sink it or impound it) to make the corporate owner back on land feel the heat.

Imprison them and give them back to their home country ASAP is probably the right way to handle the crew.

They're equivalent, but not identical.
Lots of formal systems are Turing complete (e.g. Wang Tiles) and so can compute the same results as each other. Wolfram goes on about this some.

I sometimes wonder about the possible form of the "Platonic Ideal" is that each of these systems represent. George Spencer-Brown's Laws of Form seems to me to be the ultimate concrete example, but that's not a universally held opinion. :)
I think a better term to describe it is synthetic, which is something man made. Synthetic intelligence kinda has a nice ring to it as well.

One of the most substantial, frequent mistakes I see from junior developers is writing off the skills of their colleagues because of perceived gaps in knowledge.
Wouldn't that cost them too much in administrative costs? Impounding a vessel is fairly cumbersome, let alone 100 plus crew.

Game-theoretically, it seems preferable to sink them without any warning.

Consider: the fines would only be paid if they are less than the cost of acquiring a new ship. So if they have to pay fines of 90% of the value, you're still saving them 10% compared to getting a new ship. And if the fines are >100%, they would just ignore it and leave Argentina with the ship.

Unless Argentina can turn it into a revenue stream, sinking them unconditionally seems preferable. The Chinese fishing boats don't have anything to give them in a negotiation. All they have to give them is leaving the area, and that is accomplished by sinking the boats too.
I think a better term to use would be perhaps synthetic, which is something man made used to imitate something natural.

So we would call it synthetic intelligence, if we wanted to get pedantic.
The threshold is 30 hours on average in a given month [0]. So, presumably, if you work 31 hours one week they'd make you work 28 the next to avoid you being labeled full-time.

I've found Apple Maps better for that.

Before I switched, I found Google maps really liked to have you turn left one street early, then turn right then turn left. I guess it was trying to eliminate the delay from the left turn at the busier intersection. It was pretty much always worse.

> Dealing with rude customers is quickly learned.

No, it's not, many workers I know face repeated and regular stressful abuse, which is almost always worse if they are visibly part of a marginalized group of people, who also get racial and misogynistic slurs thrown in their face. There are dramatic differences in treatment, and many managers don't step in to protect their employees. That's not to say the other stuff you mention doesn't also occur.

It's not even necessarily retail, I know a really sweet Latina woman, she manages and runs multiple bicycle rental places in SF. People will be incredibly rude to her, but when she says, "Hold on, let me get someone else to help you" and gets a white male employee of hers, they are suddenly all smiles and apologetic and understanding.

I honestly would encourage folks here to remember to be good customers, to treat workers as you would want people to treat you, because workers in the US are almost always underpaid and dealing with work related stress.

Try to know what you want by looking online, understand that workers don't owe you happy smiles and social interaction beyond the goods and services you pay for, listen to and ask for suggestions and consider them as expert advice if you are having trouble making a decision, and if possible be polite and say thank you.

Author here. The "real economy" doesn't mean the centralized economy. It means the economy where goods and services are produced (not just traded). It's possible for the economy to get into a state where people don't want to invest in starting or maintaining businesses, even small or underground or illegal ones, because it's more advantageous, at least in the short run, to simply hoard tokens.
> I've found TeamCity's pricing to be pretty reasonable

Well, compared to Jenkins it's very expensive :). I guess the cheaper options may be newer, or maybe that employer ran the evaluation in a dysfunctional way (wouldn't be the first time). All I can say is that was a consideration for us.

> The dependency bug sounds rough; have you got a youtrack link to it by any chance?

No, this was three jobs ago and was all handled verbally with their representative (who gave off a pretty unprofessional vibe, frankly, so may not have recorded it in youtrack even if that's their policy). If you want to test it out, set up something like 10 maven projects with SNAPSHOT versions all depending on each other, and set to rebuild on commit or when their dependencies change: B depends on A, C depends on B (and so implicitly on A), D depends on C (and so implicitly A and B), etc.. And then commit a change to A and see what happens. Whether you think this is a good way to set up your projects or not, it's what we were doing at that place, and Jenkins handles it fine (it will rebuild A, B, C, ... in order) whereas TeamCity (at least when we were evaluating it) will rebuild A, then rebuild B-L, then rebuild C-L because B has changed, and so on.
Don't systems sometimes have to access each other's components to do work? Isn't any given component exposed to all systems, and not merely one?
The magic is very minimal and easily inspectable via the network tab of browser dev tools. We essentially just provide a transparent pipe between client and server. Whatever you return from the function on the server is exactly what comes out on the client. We don't interfere with that. All we do is handle all the HTTP stuff for you.

Some have expressed the same concern, but after using it they’ve had zero issues.

Such a large scale shift in employment seems unlikely. The manufacturing / warehouse industry isn't large enough to absorb 20% of the restaurant jobs in the US. And if that did happen, you'd think it would be very easy to see in the data. I guess we'll have more accurate jobs sector numbers in a few months and we'll be able to see
The kiosks work good for simple things. When it gets complicated though, sometimes the kiosk throws up its hands and escalates to a human attendant (self-checkout at grocery and home improvement stores are horrible at this). By the time the attendant tends to the machine, often more time has passed than just going to the human cashier. This trains people to avoid the kiosks.
The labor force participation rate will keep falling as America transitions to a post-scarcity economy. This means an increasingly large % of Americans will be able to have their needs met without working, whether it is govt. programs, remitances, inheritances, cohabitation, living with friends or relatives,etc. On Reddit, a lot of young people living with parents longer instead of moving out. Also, assets are appreciating so fast, such as stocks and and real estate, that wealth is able to trickle down making work unecessary for people who know someone who has money. I know people who don't work because their parents have a lot of money and stand to inherit it, ad infinitum. 20% annual returns for the S&P 500 means a lot of people will be able to earn $ doing nothing and that $ will spread out to family and friends. As private sector wealth keeps compounding and exponentiating at a rate that exceeds pop. growth, the probability approaches unity that someone will know someone who has a lot of money and thus does not need to work.
It doesn't imply that at all.
Most seem hung up on the word lazy and I guess it should be changed as that's not the brunt of my post.

My point is that benefits give you, say, 65k a year in benefits... when you start working at a 20k a year job, you lose 40k in benefits.

https://www.budget.senate.gov/newsroom/budget-background/the...

> The dramatic rise in welfare spending has created a “welfare cliff.” As more people have become eligible for increasingly larger benefits, the “penalty” for working—lost benefits due to increased income—has steepened and been described by analysts as the “welfare cliff.” This has been especially true for workers near the poverty line who are eligible for multiple programs (e.g., food stamps, Medicaid, the EITC, TANF, and subsidized public housing), as workers reach a point where every additional dollar earned can result in a more than 50 percent reduction in benefits.

If you scratch out the word "lazy" and instead have me say that the government is handing out benefits that create a perverse incentive to stay unemployed/underemployed because it's literally a cut in pay to get a job for a large number of people.

> For example, the CBO study found that households with incomes just above the poverty line—or between $23,000 and $29,000 for a family of four in 2012—stand to lose 60 cents of every additional dollar to either taxes or lost federal benefits. In the face of such a high penalty, many low-income people choose either not to work or, as CBO finds, “put in fewer hours or be less productive.”

These people are trapped in a place where working for $20k a year isn't worth losing $40k a year in benefits (or more)

Full-time is determined by whether or not someone works 'an average' of 30 hours a week. To qualify as a full-time worker, you have to work 130 hours a month. So your employer would just cut back your scheduled hours the next week to stay under 130 hours.

And employment contracts for hourly works are incredibly rare and pretty much nonexistent for part-time workers.

The basis of systems thinking is considering the relation of parts to the whole, and the relation of the whole to the parts. Classically it was simply referred to as 'geometry'. The author distinguishes 'corporation' from 'employees and customers' in following sentence. This implies that corporate managers, employees, and customers are separate parts of a larger system and that use of term manager likely referred to the employers which employ the employees and not also to the employees which metaphorically employ the equipment.
I have been thinking a lot about Systems Thinking recently. Will Larson writes in An Elegant Puzzle: Systems of Engineering Management that it's one of the most useful general tools he's discovered for approaching management problems. That inspired me to read Donella Meadows Thing in Systems, but even after reading that, I'm not sure how to apply it to engineering organizations. It's only tangential to this topic, but if anyone has a good course or book that works through examples which can be transferred to managing engineering teams or organizations, I'd be grateful. When I read most systems thinking materials I get the sense that they are mostly focused on civilization-level problems like global warming, rather than on ways that I can individually use it to understand and make changes within my more prosaic scope.

I also have a little bit of the feeling that the emperor has no clothes, since in spite of all their ideas, I can't find any major company that has successfully transformed an industry based on systems thinking, nor can I find any major social ill that has been solved through the application of systems thinking. If anyone has any concrete cases of those, I'd also be interested.

I have a blog post working on applying Donella Meadows' Leverage Points to an engineering problem (incident retrospectives), but it's unsatisfying enough that I haven't figured out how to make it publishable.
