Reddit has been allowing easy account deletion and content deletion for years (since the beginning I believe?) and while I enjoy that freedom, it also makes some old conversations almost impossible to read where [deleted] answers to [deleted] and only one message in the middle of the conversations still there saying "Wow that's really interesting information! Everyone should read that!"

This has even become a way of trolling in some subreddits where you try to make people waste time answering you in detail then deleting all your messages.

This has prompted some people to quote bigger parts of the original message.

Deleting accounts is a right, no problem about it, but deleting public information is really problematic. The right to be forgotten should be a moral right, not a legal one. I don't want it to be illegal to point out politicians responsibilities in Iran-Contra or the Iraq war even 20 years after.
I feel like this is the post-covid take on the classic SO thread: "I automated my job, do I have to tell my boss" [1]

It really depends if you view employment as "they are paying you for 40 hours per week" or "they are paying you for a specified output, good for you if you can get it done faster!"

This always bothers me. People say "SMS-based 2FA is bad" and then all the reasons they give have nothing to do with 2FA at all.

It will all be fixed in 90 days, so revoking is pointless for all but the edgiest of edge-cases.
The fact that Fanhouse got approved means Apple's rules are arbitrary.
I can't help but notice that your link to New Secret Santa is under the "old" subdomain.
Won't it basically fix itself in 90 days and 1 second after all the certs are rolled anyhow now that it's on the radar?
Are we comparing it to a token though? Or are we comparing it to nothing?

> 15$/h is the lowest of the low, even adjusting for inflation would lead to a higher minimum wage

Adjusting the 1938 original minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 1794%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $4.73/hr.

Adjusting the 1945 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 1383.6%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $5.93/hr.

Adjusting the 1950 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 1008.1%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $8.31/hr.

Adjusting the 1965 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 747.8%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $10.60/hr.

Adjusting the 1975 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 396.4%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $10.42/hr.

Adjusting the 1980 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 224.1%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $10.05/hr.

Adjusting the 1990 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 104.3%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $7.76/hr.

Adjusting the 1997 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 66.4%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $8.57/hr.

Adjusting the 2008 minimum wage for inflation (cumulatively, 24.0%) would lead to a 2021 minimum wage of $8.12/hr.

It appears that inflation of the dollar has not happened at quite the same pace as inflation of socialist demands. *shrug*
I’ve yet to find anything better than TransferWise (just “Wise” now, I guess), for both personal and business.

If you have multiple options (bank wire, PayPal, TransferWise, etc.), and you’ll be doing this more than once, then I recommend testing all of them with small inputs and comparing net output amount at the destination. There’s no substitute for that level of certainty.

Some old reddit discussions are plagued with deleted comments (deleting all your comments is an option when deletinc an account)

Threads of [deleted content] answering to [deleted content] are hard to follow.
"Only" $1000. That's an absurdly high amount for what amounts to a visual compliance inspection in my opinion.

I would have to disagree that the unreasonably high fee is the only problem there. Charging a captive customer an unreasonable amount is certainly abusive. But so is arbitrarily forbidding what is permitted on private land. Such restrictions should require clear and articulable justification based on real world impact.
I can relate to this a bit. Most here will quickly jump on the "Judge output and not effort" and dismiss the fact that judging output is very difficult, time consuming and often unfair.

If the task hasn't been done on time, it might be because the task underestimated the difficulty, or that the person had other tasks which interrupted this one. If the person tried their best and they are competent, the output doesn't matter so much since likely it would have taken an equal amount of time for anyone else to get it done. You can't ask people to do more than they are capable of.

When everyone is honest and trying their best there are no problems but its pretty hard to work out when they aren't.
IIRC that's where you'd use an instrumentation amplifier.
A high performer that can produce 5x on a consistent basis in one job will only be able to produce maybe 2.5x on multiple jobs with significantly more convoluted career progression and schedules. Context switching and context setting are both quite difficult.

But a 5xer will quickly promoted to principal level (L6) within a decade of entering their industry if they hop around a couple of times.

L6s usually make 2.5x of what their peers make. So the conventional process really isn't that bad.

___________

Honestly, if you can consistently produce 5x and provide good estimates, then you should be consultant / contract hire for mid-tier companies. You will make a lot more money and have a lot more agency over your own life.

Finding clients is a hustle, but so is holding 3 jobs at the same time. So, pick your poison.
On a tangent: acoustic noise.

My HP 32SII made terrible resistor noises. Bzzzzzzz like some sort of bad tinnitus. I could also hear it on an HP 48G when I placed my ear up to it.

Wouldn't it be possible to use SMT resistors and pot them in silastic to quiet them down?
I've used Synergy on both Windows->Windows and Windows->Mac. With a Macbook Pro 2015. It's really unpleasent due to constant stuttering, unless you connect to Ethernet. This is a known issue, it's appently due to airdrop. The OS switches the modem to a different channel to check for new devices or something, and then switches back. Although it does it fast enough to maintain network connections but anything real-time just looses control for a moment. Other wifi laptops seem fine. (Using same Wifi version)
> -Buy smaller/more efficient computers instead of the bigger/less efficient one

I've run laptop cpu based desktops instead of desktop cpus (chromebox, nuc, lots of similar products with less known branding). It probably makes a difference, especially it you have a dedicated GPU in the desktop. Max power is certainly reduced, usually idle power too, for raw compute tasks there's a balance because the tasks will take longer and maybe end up using similar power. For games and stuff, you'll get way less fps (or lower settings, or realistically both), but use less power if you play the same amount of time.

> -let's move closer to work

I dunno how much power difference this makes.

> -let's share computers

I've done this, one at a time limits max power consumption, but may lead to higher utilization. Multiple monitors and keyboard/mice is an option too, but more fiddly. Maybe a little power savings vs two desktops, but it worked better with two gpus, so maybe not.

> -let's not buy our teenagers a computer just yet

This is kind of like the sharing one earlier.
That's why I never suggested the (obviously fatally flawed) idea of abolishing regulations and permits. Rather I raised an objection to the current state of their implementation.
This is the original. Then came https://github.com/lmatteis/net-torrent and later one written in Javascript, inspired by net-torrent.
there are alternatives to hue. but we should still critique an apps whose only existence stems from the product its connected to.

I used to manage a team at Google. L3 basically meant you had to be told what to do. L4 meant that while you may not regularly give a lot of strategic direction to the team, you could be relied upon to just pick up the ball and carry it forward toward shared objectives. Your code was good enough to not require a bunch of time- and energy-wasting back-and-forth with reviewers. What you delivered stood on its own and was more an asset than a liability to the team and the product.

If, after a few years, you still need to be told what to do in order to be productive day-to-day, you’re simply not developing, and unless you figure out what’s going on you’re probably going to struggle to build a successful career.

For my own team, the bar I set for giving higher assessment ratings was how well you could make and keep commitments to the team. If, after working in the code base with the group of people for a year or so, you couldn’t independently come up with useful things to commit to doing and couldn’t deliver in the timeframes you said you could, I would start asking you whether you are really happy and motivated doing what you’re doing with your career. For the few times I had to do that, the member of my team ended up admitting to themselves that they were making a mistake trying to do this type of work, and they moved on to something else where they were more happy and successful.

There's all kinds of things we don't do because of social pressure and legal constraints (that are there, in general, because in aggregate they make sense).

I close my mouth when I chew because of social pressure.

Someone might choose not to pick their nose in public because of social pressure.

Someone else might put the toilet seat down because of social pressure.

The amount of time I spend changing lanes before a turn is because of social pressure.

And yet someone else may not take the last helping of a treat because of social pressure.
"Plenty of people who know they almost certainly had Covid weren't tested..."

Do you mean tested for antibodies with finger prick blood test, or PCR random number generator (see elon musk wild PCR results).

I was sick, had test that showed antibodies, and a confirmation letter from my Dr.

Since the EUA to rush out the vaccines does not include those who had it and recovered, it needs more testing and study before it is approved for those who have antibodies.

My company has already started its effort to bring all of us back in. There are some exceptions, but it is not clear, who can get it, so it is the usual corporate free for all, which means basically what it always did.. if boss likes us you, they may bestow a favor upon you. Throughout the entire pandemic experience I have become noticeably more cynical, but I have to admit I did not see the ridiculous corporate propaganda 'sitting in traffic is good for you' coming.
I think even experienced people struggle in that environment though. I don't think any junior engineer is truly a blank slate. You've usually had internships, unrelated jobs, made it through college where you develop skills to be resourceful and navigate unclear situations.
Thanks, that means a lot! I think it kind of falls short of some of its initial promises, and clearly needs revision, but there are some good nuggets in there. As one example of what needs revision, I drew the diagrams after I wrote the text, and I realized that what I was describing in the text was far more complicated than what I really wanted to draw... but then never went back and revised the text.

If this is the kind of thing you like, you might find more things to your taste in http://canonical.org/~kragen/dercuano, which touches on, among other things, the bizarre memory model of the Zork Z-machine.
why the downvotes on this comment? iirc the vaccine response was shown to diminish over time and health experts discussed the potential need for covid vaccine booster shots. a limited timeframe for reinfection poses an issue considering we may never be truly done with this disease as it could recirculate and require frequent shots like the flu

Europe seemed to have realized this a long time ago. Many Americans still make work much of their identity, and worshiping The Line (the stock market) is in direct conflict with labor rights.

> Might this be a case where the best resolution would be to have the government (which is at least partially funding nearly all of these papers) step in and add a ledger of papers as a proof of investment?

I feel that we're halfway there already and are gaining ground. Does Pubmed Central [0] (a government-hosted open access repository for NIH-funded work) count as a "ledger" like you're referring to? The NSF's site does a good job of explaining current US open access policy [1]. There are occasional attempts to expand the open access mandate by legislation, such as FASTR [2]. A hypothetical expansion of the open access mandate to apply to all works from /institutions/ that receive indirect costs, not just individual projects that receive direct costs, would open things up even more.

Not op but have lived in Florida and NYC. I suspect the gap partially relates to the "constructed"/human/social aspects, and not the raw weather itself.

A NYC subway car without AC when it's 87 degrees outside is worse than 100° in Florida; Florida is a lot more effective AC, pools/lanais, open spaces.
>corporate propaganda 'sitting in traffic is good for you' coming.
Wow, thank you for this comment, I've only sort of just realized this.
Eye opening / Watershed moment.
Not GP, but if I extend the “marxists warned” logic, what could have been done would be to own the means of production. In this case, as with a lot of other Marxist analysis, that means taking a different view of what freedom entails, tying permission to exploit labor to a commitment to serving that labor and sharing its spoils. To some extent later GNU licensing reflects similar thinking.

I think what was naive was building OSS around service, support and consulting. Instead it could have been built around mutual benefit as a governing principle.
There's a great recent documentary about a little typewriter repair shop called California Typewriter. It was a fun watch!

If you can win a lawsuit against a company for a failure it is probably because it wasn't an externality but a contract or warranty agreement they have breached. This is present even in niches with minimal regulations.

Data centers offer the highest uptime guarantees at the highest price tiers. People pay more for Toyotas, new or used, because of their reputation. Quality is a product feature.

Are they still doing the "you get paid based on where you live, not how valuable you are to the company" thing?
In the digital nomad case you aren’t circumventing state or federal taxes. By saying you are in, say NC, when you are really in Thailand, Croatia, or Costa Rica depending on the time of year—-you are paying more taxes then you’d owe, not less.

Leaving aside timezones, which you could adjust to if you wanted to, the real issue is that your employers can’t be sure it’s complying with Thai, Croatian, and Costa Rica law and doesn’t want to be the effort in to figure out how to be sure.
While cruises are an important aspect of Florida's tourism economy, they were going to be impacted regardless of the state's policies.

I found these critiques soon after reading the book. However, there are many other researches cited in the book and I would take them on face value for the not very scientific but somewhat valid (for me) reason of personal experience.

I got into the habit of all night slogs right since high school and it persisted till recently due to the pressure of sticking to deadlines. So I could relate well to several experiments cited in the book.

Considering we do not know nearly as much as we ought to know yet, I would rather err on the side of caution and give far more importance to sleep than I have previously.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but you said:

> It's about the 182nd day in a row where it's been 70-80F.

And this is simply untrue (according to Weather.com and Weather Underground). I mention this because there's this big push (I'm sure you've noticed) among tech/VCs/Miami govt to paint a very rosy picture of Miami as an alternative to Silicon Valley.

Every day this week is expected to be 86-89. And to folks not from Florida ... that's HOT in Florida. I've lived in NYC, I've lived in Austin, I've lived in "Hotlanta" ... there's nothing like a Florida hot. And unless you're right on the water, it feels ... like much more.

The last week in January this year had 4 days above 80. The last week in February every single day was over 80 and two days over 85. In 2018 my NYC-based company decided to come to Orlando in the last week of February. Five of the seven days were OVER 90!

Yet another example of the EU and its institutions being a reflection of the career academics and politicians that dominate it.

Arrogant, privileged, disconnected from reality, risk averse and comfortably protected by the bureaucracy which they use to masquerade the gross in efficiency of the whole apparatus.

It is an interesting question. I have two new team members we added 2 months ago. Neither is very technical and, admittedly, it can get challenging sometimes, because pre-WFH, I could have just showed them what to do instead of spending 20 minutes trying to explain what I want them to do. I could technically grab a screen, but.. apparently, neither learns well that way and just yesterday I had some really odd issues with sound and MS Teams screen sharing.

Anyway, as much as I love remote, in person has its benefits.. like being able to strangle someone when needed.
