And the English Internet includes a large number of users from Europe/Canada in addition to the users from liberal US cities. Sites like HN with a long-form discussion format are also going to skew the demographics further along those lines. It's not a marketplace that's going to value right-wing ideas; a majority of users will have a cultural background that finds them distasteful.

It is not about compromising DNS servers at coffee shops.

If I go to a coffee shop, do any packets even have to go to coffeeshopwifi.com or example.com at all?

1. DHCP happens.

2. I type http://example.com, but I get 'Please click AGREE etc. for WiFi'. So far, this should all be internal to the local network.

3. I click on AGREE, but my browser actually goes to philzcoffee.com
Every story like this should be required to post wages. I looked at the job postings for several Canadian employers complaining about labour shortages and they were hard labour jobs for minimum wage.
I'm being cheeky, but at the same time, it's a serious issue. AI used in these fashions are just going to be bureaucracy on steroids, however, as you mention, less chances for appeals.

And on an extremely serious note, I am utterly terrified how many people treat, "Well the AI/algorithm says xyz, it must be true. Got to believe the math/data." I'm not kidding, that's my fear. People blindly follow the almighty algorithms. It's just another form of religion and worship. And even more seriousness, atheists are fantastic at rationalizing their blind dogmatic worship over algorithms.
Raise prices and raise wages. Or if you can't compete, go out of business because others will be able to.

Alternatively, maybe it's the optimal strat (in terms of maximizing profit) to only be open 4 days a week/or be short staffed. If so, that's fine too.
More generally, I believe this is exactly the same as flow-field pathfinding, which conveniently has the property that you end up with a solution to the whole map -- so you've solved all pathfinding for all entities anywhere in the map, in one shot. Great for hosting a ridiculous amount of entities on a static (or slow-changing) map.

Brogue's creator also "invented" djikstra maps, which I believe is also exactly the same[0][1], to handle AI strategic pathfinding (e.g. avoid hazards while reaching treasure).

In Game AI Pro (I forget which article/book), someone suggests taking AI preferences (e.g. hunger, health) and computing a flow-field per preference (e.g. a food-map, a danger-map, etc), and multiplying the values against the preference to act as a weight (so food-map * %hunger, danger-map * %health), and summing the maps together to produce the final map used for pathfinding. Notably, the food-map can be shared by all entities consuming the same kind of food -- only the weight has to be re-calculated, and the final sum.

I still work at Google and I've also heard all of these stories. I have heard of multiple people transferring to other parts of the company or quitting because getting any kind of remote work arrangement while working under Urs was near impossible.
> I had the same experience from the other direction later on.. a team of smart, hard-working coders had been dealing with stability/perf issues for years on some product. I was able to root cause and straighten all of them out in a couple of weeks, even though this was in an area of software development using a set of tools I'd never touched before.

I've done this at a company full of ex-Googlers. Some programmers are simply incompetent, no matter where they've worked.

Another option in this space is Tiller (https://www.tillerhq.com/). They seem well-established, and offer some spreadsheet templates for plug-and-play solutions to some common budgeting scenarios.

If you don't care about spreadsheets specifically -- if you're just looking for scriptable access to your financials -- Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app) has a public API. They'll also be opening the beta of rollover budgeting any day now, which has me excited!
One of the big mistakes I see here is that the testing environment A doesn't look and work the same as the prod environment B. The closer both are, the surer you can be that you can catch such mistakes by testing in A. The bigger the differences, the more problems can sneak in undetected.

So while I think it is OK for the author to be a little humbled by his mistake, I would actually place the blame on the misdesigned environments. We should try to expect human mistakes and make them avoidable (by noticing them early in the test environment) or prevent them alltogether (by automatically testing and only allowing the change to production, but that is far harder to setup).
"pet mode" reminded about my cat many years ago - we lived on the 5th floor of an apartment building, and going outside the cat would walk the stairs down, yet coming back the cat would sit near elevator on the ground floor until somebody would come to use the elevator and everybody knew that "the white cat rides to the 5th floor" so they would let him out there.

Heh, the company mentioned in the first paragraph has this as their jobs page:

What the heck do they expect people to do here? This forces people to know what positions are open ahead of time, and if they don't, they're basically throwing applications into the wind. Just post the damn openings!

This sounds like a social issue though (compiler teams cooperating and keeping things up to date). It seems like when you have a smaller number of implementations they tend to be more agile; look at the modern web browser landscape vs that of the 2000s, for example

1st floor, for many people, refers to the ground floor.

Basically, it excludes the ground level/publicly accessible floor, like a hotel lobby.
Business is booming, which is why wages are rising and there are more jobs than laborers. The headline is misleading because the author tried to focus on a handful of businesses who were behind the curve on their hiring requirements.

The obvious retort is "raise wages", but that's exactly what one of the interviewed businesses is doing:

> The Wacky Knacky Diner in Osage Beach, Mo., near the Lake of the Ozarks, boosted wages to $20 an hour, then added health benefits and a retention bonus.

The article also notes that they found twice as many job listings offering hiring bonuses as compared to a year ago. The market is working as appropriate and the situation is sorting itself out. These headlines are starting to feel like clickbait.

They also highlighted some other temporary and seasonal roadblocks, such as parents being at home while their kids are out of school:

> A survey by Indeed found most job-seekers plan to start working within the next three months, but many are waiting for schools to reopen, vaccination levels to rise or for their personal savings — boosted by unemployment benefits and three rounds of federal relief payments — to run out

The article is worth a read. There's more to it than the "just raise wages" comments.
It means sarcasm
The conservatives i've spoken to (and know personally) suggest that we should be gutting social programs like Unemployment because they're the reason why people are demanding more money - it's too easy to get it "for free".

Curiously, this has become a theme. Nearly a meme, honestly. In every major debate i've spoken to them about, say Gun control and school shootings - the answer is to double down. Not less guns, but more! Give teachers guns! etc. Now i'm not interested in having this debate here, on any front, but i am curious about this line of thinking.

Is this "doubling down" observed by anyone else? If so is there something interesting at play? It feels odd to me that the response seems so frequently to dig in deeper. More guns. Less social protections. Less environmental protections. More oil. etcetc
Unlikely. It will rule out treatments that are unlikely to work, saving money. What we are seeing is Simpson’s paradox. Genomics and precision medicine allow you to segment populations at a higher resolution then before.
The wage has to, post taxes, still be a worthwhile tradeoff to the enhanced unemployment benefits people are being paid to sit around and do nothing. That's not to say employers are being reasonable here, but people who lose benefits because they take work are typically facing the highest effective marginal tax rates, and there's little an employer can do about that eligibility cliff.
It assumes a blended cost of capital of 10% which is very reasonable for utility infrastructure projects even in developing countries. The World Bank charges rates of about 3% for infrastructure projects.

I don't get the capital cost argument, both onshore wind and solar PV have between a third and a quarter the capital cost per KW capacity compared to a modern coal plant for example. As I said combined cycle gas is currently competitive but the price trajectories mean that solar and wind will not only be cheaper over their lifetimes but the capital cost will be less.

Nor do I get the grid argument which is an argument against all utility scale generation, not just solar or wind. Storage or more commonly idling gas backup is required to support fossil fuel generation also.

Repeating the claim that deriving more energy from solar and wind or hydro will impoverish people doesn't make it true. To support the claim you need to show that it's a more expensive way of providing electrical energy to people compared to alternative fossil fuel based generation. I've read no analysis which would support such a claim.
I thought most devices had solved this with their own captive portal detection logic and websites now. Is that not the case?
Depends on your definition of "a long way". Some of the GPT3 based code generation demos (which, explicitly, are just that - demos - we aren't shown the limitations of the system during the demo) say that's closer than I think.

https://analyticsindiamag.com/open-ai-gpt-3-code-generator-a... has a bunch of videos of this in action.
I didn't propose any specific legal encoding of "large enough", because yes, such a thing is hard to nail down and fraught with arguments.

I am pointing out that if we view freedom of speech/association as a natural/human right, it is possible for entiti(es) that are not the bona fide "government" to be oppressing that right.

This is trivially demonstrable by interpreting any existing society as an anarcho-capitalist paradise where there is no government, just one large company you're forced to contract with to obtain vital necessities.

For a real world example within our society, take a look at the list of songs censored by Clear Channel in the wake of September 11, 2001. There was no bona fide government edict declaring this, just opaque corporate power ultimately wielded by the same people marching us to war in most other forums.
> He's struggling to find all the workers he needs to churn out his pizzas, and he's losing valuable business.

There’s literally no way there aren’t enough workers to make pizza so long as unemployed people exist. This is a problem with their hiring practices. Maybe there’s a squeeze on illegal immigrants working for sub-minimum wage and slave hours, but there’s a bunch of Americans willing to work if you actually pay them.
> So, who do we want to believe?

They are both saying the same thing: Hölzle opposes the peasants working from home. The spokesperson is being deliberately opaque/circumspect by saying Hölzle never opposed senior folk (like him) working from home, but the level of seniority is left undefined.
I've seen solar water heaters routinely on roofs in Florida and other U.S. states that get sufficient heat (Arizona, etc.).

I'm not sure either of our observations are useful to determine how prevalent rooftop solar water heating is.
>A good cut of meat and fresh veggies all cooked appropriately and hit with kosher/sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, quality olive oil, and quality white wine vinegar/lemon juice can still be a wildly delicious meal

I'm not sure if you grew up in an Anglicised culture, but "meat and 3 veg" is almost always boiled.
I'm perfectly okay with AI and algorithms being used as red flaggers to help a human find out what needs immediate attention or even potential concerns. I'm 100% against algorithms and AI making the actual decisions.

Raise wages
Thanks for pointing this out. I encountered the claim recently that the concept of divine omnipotence was invented by Catholic theologians. maybe in the early middle ages, and does not quite exist in Judaism. But you’re pretty convincing.
required ionization energy is dwarfed by the particle kinetic energy to be collected which is in MeV.
As long as the current rustc front end is the canonical one I think it’ll end up fine. As the parent post explains, there are niches that want the gcc frontend and they should be able to get it.
I'm seeing a lot of "just raise wages" in this thread. The traditional GOP response on something like this is to get rid of the extended and special unemployment insurance programs, and you'd see folks re-enter for minimum wage jobs.

I'm not an expert in this field, but that naively seems like it would achieve the same result. Obviously there's a conversation to be had about fair wages, and whether a minimum wage is livable, but is there something else here that I'm missing about why that wouldn't also mitigate the current labor shortage?
Pfizer sees waning immunity from its Covid-19 vaccine
The gender aspect of this really should get some attention. When schools closed women left the workplace in huge numbers in order to take care of their kids. Now the reopening of schools is messy and inconsistent and there are still huge problems providing enough day care service to meet the demand. If we really want to get workers back then we are going to need solid plans for reopening schools and providing day care. Unfortunately, people are getting distracted by the lazy workers hooked on stimulus and unemployment insurance narrative and not focusing on what clearly needs to be done.
We had ~650k deaths from covid19 in the last year alone (and counting), bit part of them were minimum wage workers. After the black plague in Europe, labor was in such a short supply that wages multiplied. This is definitely having an effect on the labor market.

The consensus here seems to be that companies should start raising wages significantly. There is no other way.
Pfizer Plans to Request FDA Nod for Covid Booster in August
I never said it was declared in law, nor currently interpreted by the courts as such. I was talking about what ought to be, because legally analyzing "what is" is trivial.

I don't think Twitter is to the size where it constitutes de facto government power (although Faceboot seems much closer). I'm just saying that asserting that anything that isn't the bona fide government cannot effectively oppress natural/human rights is a poor idea.
My bank account has this feature built in and it's really helpful.
Why do I have a sense of déjà vu?
if you measure in terms of percentage, sure. But not everything is statistical... considering that this 40 year old has not planned to be not-around so soon, these few extra years might allow this 40 year old to sort out and settle certain affairs that would allow them and their family to part with more "acceptance".

I kind of wonder if requirements/specific postings deter or increase applications.

As they would have jobs with little more in the requirements than being healthy and able, so really they could probably use anyone willing to work.
Cats can live a pretty long time however. My grandmas two cats (sisters) lived from when I was 7 years old, to when I was 27 years old, and both died just months apart from each other. That's pretty good I think.
> I think that many of them are as good as any AWS hire. And I think they could be motivated by something besides money to create something as good or better than anything from AWS.

If you think people's claims that they aren't motivated by money are anything other than lies they've learned they're expected to tell, perhaps you're just as ignorant as your $150K hires who have no idea that FAANG companies pay their developers $500K or more (which is the only reason you are able to hire them).

That means apple.com cannot be HSTS preloaded, which is too bad for security.
Good luck competing with the government's free money. The only solution is inflation. Let's increase the nominal wages, hence prices, while inevitably reducing the real wages, and purchasing power of savings. It may be a good time for assets owners at the cost of the middle class. Inflation is taxation but it is safer for politicians, since common people do not get it and do not blame the culprits.
Extended unemployment has already been eliminated in many states and that had no effect. This might be an opportunity to review why these ideas about labor markets appear not to match what actually happens.

Your current model of unencrypted on your database is a big no for me.
I'll throw in my 2 cents that I can confirm the anecdote. I just moved to a small town in Idaho because my wife was from there. We found our house because several new developments are going up.

As I've been chatting with some people at church* I was told that about 1/3 of the people that attend have moved to our little town in Idaho from Southern California in the past 2 years or so. That might not seem like much, but considering that this is small town in the middle of Idaho it seemed like a pretty big deal to me. It's especially interesting to see many people who have more traditional jobs, often revolving around construction or the cultivation of potatoes interacting with many of the white collar, MBA type Cali expats.

* Note: The church I attend is a world wide church and divides it's congregations based on geographic area, encouraging people to attend the service based on where they live. This point is made to forestall the correlation causation criticism, that would imply the church I attend is particularlye attractive to people that have recently moved in from SoCal,

EDIT:
Just to clarify my wife and I did not move from Cali, we moved from Utah, because it was getting filled up with people from Cali, that resulted in prices for housing going up considerably.
Stop subsidizing unemployment with welfare checks, which in many cases pay the recipient more money than they were making working.

You cannot create money out of thin air at the rate we a printing it unless you want hyperinflation (you don’t).

It’s not only damaging to the economy—business owners cannot operate and consumers cannot get what they need. It’s harming the work ethic of the unemployed and their sense of self-worth.

I do not buy the “raise the minimum wage” argument. Enough people have shown they would rather not work and get paid less than work and get paid more.

The continuation of unemployment subsidies is forcing companies to compete against the federal/state government for workers in a losing battle—it’s hard to ignore the possibility this is intentional on the part of those in power who want to force the minimum wage increase. Which, by the way, results in higher unemployment in a way inverse to how rent controls result in less available housing.
Stop comparing yourself to other people and focus on your self. I'm sure you can achieve what you desire.

I for example didn't graduate for hs and college, and yet, I managed to get to a place in life which my younger self would have classified as "wild ly successful."

However, everyone (including me) always wants more, and massively takes for granted their current situation. So I get it, but keep your head down and keep on climbing!
My favorite interview question is "how do elevators work"?

0. If they immediately blurt out something like "I know how elevators work", probably don't hire them.

1. You can find out what areas they're most interested in. Do they jump straight to the physical mechanics? The programming? The UI? The abstraction that they're solving a problem?

2. Eventually, they reach a point where they just have to say "I don't know". The rabbit hole really just keeps going with elevators. You could know this question is coming and we will still easily reach the knowledge boundary.

3. If they "don't know" you can ask them to guess how a system might work. Or give them time to research it and follow up with you later.
