Depends on if one needs to do it to survive. This is why vegans try to hold humans accountable, but not lions. The "who" has very significant moral implications.
Yeah in economics it is called "rent seeking." Clearly there would be a survivorship bias in climate scientists promoting a climate threat they get funded: boring scientists don't. There need not be an intentional conspiracy.

"No, I'd say power hunger is one thing, but what you face now is unique to this poisonous "Soviet Culture." A very special, aggressive brand of social nihilism at the apex of civil society, characteristic of one party/social class governments"

What you're describing is late stage capitalism.

""Did we aggressively fight against some of the science? Yes," Keith McCoy, the Exxon (XOM) lobbyist, said during a covertly filmed job interview recorded by Greenpeace's UK investigative platform.

"Did we join some shadow groups to work against some of the early efforts? Yes, that's true," McCoy said in the video, which was published Wednesday by the UK's Channel 4. "But there's nothing illegal about that. We were looking out for our investments. we were looking out for our shareholders."

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/01/business/exxon-tape-video-kei...

The reframing of a company's purpose to "generate shareholder's wealth" is a relatively recent development (1970's) that came on the heels of right wing economic ideas gaining widespread adoption in American universities (Chicago School, etc). This is one of the reasons companies use to justify destruction of society and the planet in the pursuit of more, wealth, power, status, etc.

There is nothing "Soviet Culture" about this or myriad other examples such as the tobacco industry or pharmaceutical companies and the opioid epidemic.
I think all you really need is to own your domain.

If you manage your domain and point your mx at google, and some ai decides your drive contents look bad or some non-official youtube app violates some api access rule and they kill your whole account, you just point your at any other service provider.

That will be an annoying few days, but you don't lose anything too important. Maybe for a day or so you can't receive password emails, but you will, just after the switch shakes out.

In the mean time, you're enjoying the convenience of a big mail service, and playing the odds that it's probably not going to happen to you, and it's ok to live with that risk because if it happens, it's just an inconvenience not a disaster.

As for losing old emails, I use thunderbird on my laptop, and that ends up getting a copy of all my gmail even though I also read those same emails on my phone. If google kills my account, I still have all my old emails even without my own domain.

I don't know if google even offers domain regisration to individuals, but if they do, I just wouldn't use them for the registrar. All other services can tolerate that risk as long as you use someone else as registrar (namecheap is good).
We all hoped it wouldn't happen, but RedHat is going to become more blue rather than the other way around. It's the way with all acquisitions unfortunately. As a current IBMer, I'm fascinated with this and I wonder what Arvind's end goal was here? It certainly doesn't seem like it was Jim's idea.

>> the NYT website shows they wrote about this indictment June 12th. It's no secret.

I think the point is that the Assange story isn't that important or interesting anymore, so they don't breathlessly cover every development like some corners of the internet want to (and sometimes interpret the lack of breathless coverage as some kind of conspiracy).
Not in an American court, for a non-American citizen, for something that happened 10 years ago. It just isn’t as interesting as you think it is.

And it is getting coverage! It just isn’t front page news.
Depending on the company I would agree that there might be more initial resistance. The thing with a survey is that in way too many cases it goes nowhere after that. We did the survey. We filled out a skills matrix. Never to be heard of again (been there done that).

If you can get the chaos engineering "allowed", I think it's easier to actually follow through.

There are multiple scenarios I can think of here.

* This might be something that a team lead or a bunch of team leads want to initiate/try out. You ideally need buy in from at least your boss, potentially a bit higher up.
* This could also be thought up/initiated by the development manager/VP of engineering/CTO level who now has to get his team leads to run this and might run into resistance from them actually or from Product. Sort of like with the technology based chaos engineering, where there might be a special SRE person/team responsible for running this, you could have a special team/person for this as well. If we were all in offices, it might be a bunch of tall dudes, physically escorting the chosen person from the team room :)
Don't go with namecheap, the biggest hive of scammers and spammers on the planet. Move your private domain to a reputable provider, like Fastmail.

Women were well represented in the early days of computing. The gender imbalance only started in about 1984. Some researchers think that was because home computers started to become affordable at about that time and were mainly marketed to men.

This road doesn't lead anywhere, for the most part, except withdrawing from society to live in a self-made cabin in the woods. Every cloud provider can be shown to be exploitative, as can every manufacturer of clothing, food, or any other commodity.

There's some middle ground where we return to a more artisan-majority society, where we get all our stuff from people who enjoy doing what they do, but this would be widely considered a step backwards.
We have flat taxes now. $1m/yr or $10m/yr makes no difference—same rate.

>Firstly, most American file their taxes using software that all but makes it impossible for them to be wrong in any significant way.

>Secondly, that is aided by the fact that all major financial institutions pipe their customers data straight into the government and into each other. There is very little space for lying or hiding assets. The whole system is computerized.

That is true for me and you, but is it true for the people who they are actually trying to catch? Someone with hundreds of millions or billions isn't going to be using TurboTax or have most of their income funneling through a checking account at Wells Fargo.

>And to be frank, I doubt that the pursuit of major tax evaders is really a function of lack of resources. I’d strongly wager that it’s a lack of political will.

These are the same reasons. They have a lack of resources because there is a lack of political will.
Obviously it is both. Rape in nature is extremely common (as defined by female trying to escape, but male pinning it down). There is no reason that both neanderthal and homo-sapient males wouldn't have engaged in this behavior...as it is only cultural taboos, norms, and theory of mind that prevent its occurrence.

The reality of code is that stuff breaks when connected to other stuff, as it eventually must be for real work to happen. There's no getting around that.

unprocessed meats causing colon cancer being exaggerated substantially (even for processed meats, there’s an increase, but as I recall it’s minimal. Larger chance of lung cancer from city living than colon cancer from occasional processed meat)

Each person I believe (key word) has ancestral lineage that describes what foods they can handle best. Hence why we see some people thrive on plant based, and others (like myself) was completely miserable despite taking all the necessary steps.

Yes! Maybe a slight variant. In this case the overall effect is evident when you look at the whole, and not when you group by level.

The important question is whether it seems causally reasonable to group or not group. In this case, grouping makes sense.

As someone who spent 8 years inside Red Hat, this is exactly why anecdotal "evidence" is garbage.

Complaining that an engineering company is full of mostly white males (in an industry which is full of mostly white mails) is an example of nothing. Red Hat started programs to push LGBTQ+ people in 2014, women in leadership in 2017, neurodiversity acceptance in 2018, black leadership in 2018. You may think all of those things are late, but as driven company missions which they spend real money on (and real money on community involvement on), it's not insignificant.

A "good-old-boy's club" at a company where only 25% of engineering was even in the US is a little mindblowing. The vast majority of RH's engineers when I left were in Pune, Brno, Tel Aviv, and scattered across Europe (eastern and western), with a reasonable showing from Brazil.

Open source is, for better or worse, a place where a cult of personality matters. "This is a bad idea and we shouldn't do it" isn't personal. It's how the community interacts. It's an invitation to argue back and say "this is a good idea because XXX". This is basically how any upstream mailing list works also.

While Red Hat did have some cultural problems, they were primarily around resistance to establishing an engineering presence in China (and it's hard to fault them for that -- my team was truly geographically distributed, and adding someone in APAC would have meant we literally never could have met at the same time), and regional cultural attitudes.

I left last summer, along with a lot of other people, but your comment is apropos of nothing Red Hat was from 2013-2021.

Postmodernism was a reaction to movements like Frankfurt School which is pretty much peak Modern.

People want a table, like in rdbms.

Hashmap is what them get. The properties of it (only useful as a direct index) is too narrow for the kind of use that in Langs like python has, where a dictionary is used everywhere (like a vector).

How some argue a hash map must be used (only useful to get a direct index) is like saying "vector can be used to only get a positional index") and wonder why people iterate it.

In other words: Collection want to be iterated.

“Global warming is real but I cannot personally afford to be carbon-neutral in the society as it is set up” is a fine position to take, but folks making that objection should be aiming to see large-scale structural changes to the society so their descendants don’t end up living through the end of civilization. The problematic part is “... but I like how things are going and nothing should change even though it is grossly unsustainable.”

Personally I have not heard this per se. Everyone I know who is opposed to climate science / energy policy changes is a wealthy person living in material excess, largely for social signaling purposes (e.g. buying more and larger houses and cars than they need for any practical purpose), and their denials are fed by right-wing propaganda and self-serving delusion.

I thought this was a very interesting pod cast about pet food. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/v4h9wo5/pet-food-ho...

TL;DL: Feeding pets the animal byproducts of our own food production is not only a good symbiotic relationship, but also contains more of the nutrients the pets need (as opposed to grain-free or other specialty diets). But, the specifics for your pet will vary based on their own needs and allergies.
I don't believe we have any ancient hominid integument at all, just a few strands of hair here and there. Soft tissues are extremely rare survivals (and we have very few examples of any ancient mammalian soft tissue), so it's not terribly surprising given the already scant hominid remains.

That we have a little bit of dinosaur skin impressions is down to said animals being around for a long, long time, and over much more territory.

The absence of evidence is certainly not evidence of absence here; there's simply no evidence one way or the other. Excavators are getting much better at recognizing non-skeletal remains, though, so perhaps we'll see something come up in the future.
For what its worth the increase in plant-based foods has made veganism an easier lifestyle choice. I've been vegan, a health decision advised by a doctor, for a year now and its made a positive impact to my overall health proven by routine full lab work, pre and post. I wasn't overweight and my weight has only decreased by a few pounds. It is changed how I view food too. We truly are what we eat. We should know that intuitively – our fuel is food.

I generalize that for many people less meat and meat products may lead to positive health outcomes, but I am no scientist.

Finding new vegan restaurants, recipes, or food staples has given my sense of culinary adventure. There are times when the food is not good or my expectations were too high, but there are plenty times when my taste buds are elated and my body fully satiated. ymmv
