You dont see into other families unless you are really really close. Neither into their childhoods nor into their adult relationships. People and kids are kept away from internal conflicts and issues, whether abusive or non abusive.

Sometimes you are 47 years old when you learn about stufd like alcoholism, gambling, violence in own extended seemingly model familly. Pretty heavy stuff and still managed to be quite hidden. Less heavy stuff is even easier to keept away from others.

Plus people who distance or leave parents as adults often react to how relationship looks now and what it does to them. And sometimes it is done to protect your own kids or so that you are not forced to entangle yourself into new dramas.
Yes! The Big Sur change, it annoyed me a lot. This new design also looks like it's continuing the trend.
> This is or should be leadership in general. It's just business acumen 101.

My point is that they can be short-sighted by seeing value in things that directly generate money, which is the opposite of acumen. Things like "We'll halve the wait time on help-desk tickets, making everyone more productive" or "We need an additional storage array, we're almost at capacity and need head-room" are not money-makers, but the finance folk at some organizations treat it like it's your personal pet project that you have to grovel for.

The C++ compiler and mypy tell you about the same thing: your typing is consistent. Neither is even close to perfect about finding defects.

You have to write unit tests anyway to validate other useful properties about your code. If you’re not close to 100% you’re doing it wrong. Even 100% coverage is a fairly low bar these days.

Given the seeming poor faith in some of Muse's explanations for some of the changes, I rechristen Audacity as Mendacity.

More seriously, I propose a general disintermediated solution to the general problem of bug verification via automatic reports:

1) All crash reports are opt-in.

Reports are created locally after a crash or other event.
They are added to a log folder.
Users are given tools to examine the report data.

Then either:

A user can choose to upload any reports they want.
A user can have already chosen to upload all reports automatically.

Either way, transmissions include nothing but the reports logged for review by users. A condition that can be verified by examination of the programs source.

The transparency of what is sent, and requirement of consent, both strongly incentivize reports constructed to be anonymous and limited in terms of any possible nefarious use.

2) The transmission goes to a third party bug identification agent of the users choosing. Users can make their choice based on a public list of such agents and their sites with their public reports.

3) The bug identification party is a third party, separate from the developer group, that works to identify and characterize the bug in the source code.

Bug characterization reports are then created that include a list hash values for each of the crash reports that contributed to the report.

The bug identification report is then made available publicly so users can be aware of it and developers can use it to identify and implement solutions.

The public disclosure of the bug characterization incentivizes a report that reveals little or nothing that could be interpreted as privacy violations.

An exception is made if the bug reveals serious security concerns, in which case the bug identification report can be made to developers earlier than public release, with assurances in writing that developers have a certain amount of time to act before the bug identification is made public.

Instead of immediately making the bug identification public, only its hash is made public so users can be aware of an anonymous bug fix in progress.

Developers in that window of time have the opportunity to fix the bug, determine that a bug fix is not practical or important enough, or they will continue working on the bug, etc., but must be transparent about either within the time frame or be seen to have violated trust.

At the end of the window, the bug report agent will publish the bug report, and the developers actions (fix, decision not to fix, decision to take more time, etc).

Note that the bug report agent can operate unimpeded without any cooperation from developers if there is none. But developers certainly have some incentive to take the bug reports seriously.
Who are these hypothetical employees who need to access customer data multiple times per day? If there are more than 5 of them in your O(1000) organization you have serious issues.

For 99.9% of employees, accessing customer data should absolutely be a "talk to your manager" level of occurrence, and each time it happens the manager should ask why it was necessary and what logging you need to add such that you don't need to do it again.
Good point. Although if you combine this with 3D TVs, then you basically get a single person hologram, right?

In overwhelmingly most of the cases where someone has been 'cancelled', their career has not noticeably suffered even one bit. Just look at Mel Gibson, dude has been unapologetically spouting wild shit at every possible marginalized group for decades and he's still got a bustling career as both actor and director.

If anything, this is the biggest argument of all against the existence of 'cancel culture', cause so far I can't find even one example of someone who's truly been cancelled, and furthermore, for something completely innocent and meaningless.

If people were actually being sent to gulags for saying something the government or general public simply didn't like, you cancel culture warriors would have a point. But... that's not the case, and that's not where this is going. Believing as much is an extremely tenuous slippery slope argument and just delusional levels of fearmongering.

There is absolutely nothing new going on, except the fact that more people these days are intolerant of bigotry and other vile behavior, and are better able to voice their concerns via the internet.
Not yet, but its close. How many people know how to search the internet without Google? Google has become so ubiquitous that people are totally reliant on them. Look at Tulsi Gabbard, her advertising account was "accidentally" taken down after a successful presidential debate, making it so people couldn't find her.

Sure they're a private company, and they made a mistake. But the direction of the mistakes are always in the direction the people running the company lean politically.

I hate that layout, it is far too common. I've lost count of the number of times where I've almost pushed the fire alarm point.
To continue the analogy, I might say that rather than creating a larger echo chamber, it's moving into a well-tuning studio space. An echo chamber is cacophonous, a well-tuned room improves clarity by reducing excessive concentration of individual frequencies.

Arguably, the curative approach lets me hear higher quality content from folks who have different perspectives than me, compared to just leaving the floodgates open.
I learned this lesson in a completely unrelated domain. I started lifting weights seriously about two years ago. Since then, I've averaged at least 5 days of training per week and now my physique is that of a completely different person. The lesson is if you do something everyday for years, whether it's body building, learning a skill, or bootstrapping a company, after several years you will see outstanding results.

There aren't voxels, so you can't represent the depth in a simple quantized way. You can use VR for a similar example. Each eye gets its own perspective as an image at some resolution. 3d comes from your eyes relating the pixels in each image. Sure, there's a minimum angular resolution for each pixel, so there's a minimum resolving power for the depth, but you the end up with a bunch of rays rather than bounded boxes, with the resolution depending on things like the convergence of your eyes.

This case is similar, with how close you are also affecting things.
> you can't dictate which sites people decide to use

You can invest in education and empower people to make informed choices about the source or value of the information. This is an investment governments go out of their way to avoid because it just so happens the same lack of education that gets people hooked up on low quality content is what makes them easily manipulated by the political class.
I work for a Fortune 500 company with a huge IT department, and even we have trouble with this. Some intranet sites will work on certain browsers but not others because of certificate issues. So, it is clearly a problem for both large and small companies.
It'd be great if someone (@dang?) could provide some kind of explanation for why that (in my opinion) excellent and worthwhile article disappeared so quickly from the front page.

The thing is that these bare numbers say nothing without "in compare with". There should be comparison with other job types or historical at least to make certain assumptions. Also for such burnouts developers often have some type of compensation, while other jobs rather not. Compare for example developers problems with Amazon devilery service drivers problems with toilets. A lot of jobs just luck minimal comfort and compesations and hardly can complain.

It seems like this is a sorta "pre-PIP"?

> If Amazon employees don’t improve while unknowingly in the Focus program, they are then placed into the “Pivot” program, according to previous reporting from Business Insider. Employees told Business Insider that if they were placed in Pivot, they were either offered a severance package or given a chance to be put on a performance improvement plan.

So "Focus" is more a manager-focused thing and then if the manager isn't able to turn things around, out comes the real PIP, is my impression.

Honestly, I've had to put someone on a PIP before, and more support and training on what to do before it got that bad would've been very appreciated.

I think the manager needs to be transparent about "you need to do better" but not about internal management practices necessarily at that point.
For the interior unlocking button, how are these implemented where you've come from? I assume you are referring to security doors with fob entry on the outside and massive magnets at the top that hold the doors locked?
Completely agree.

The last warning I needed was one time >10 years ago while listening to a song I really liked I just posted one of the lines from the song on facebook.

A friend of mine saw it and assumed it was a commentary on a political event that had happened that day (it wasn't) and assumed that it meant I held a certain political opinion because of this (I didn't) and then was suspicious of my claims that posting the song lyric meant nothing more than i was enjoying the song and felt like sharing.

Since then I always assume anything I reveal online will be taken out of context and held against me, if not immediately, some day...
This is actually one of the reasons I like academia so much. You are effectively paying for a scheduled practice session (ignoring discussions on tuition or the other negatives of college for the moment). Six months isn't enough to master any topic, but it is a organized timeframe in which you focus on X topic for an extended amount of time.

> Another layer of federated content publishing doesn't solve any problems.

HTTP is a request-response rather than content broadcast or publish-subscribe protocol. Presumably you could develop a publish-subscribe protocol with low-latency encryption support embedded in protocol layer similar to QUIC.

> if fediverse style apps take off the problem would just move to the most popular nodes on that network.

So suppose the Department of Energy provides a public cloud which people can get a network address to hold files for them similar to how they can get a Post Office box number at the post office. Except when you put a file in your own PO box the PO will make free copies of the file for others on your behalf which are subscribed to your PO box without destroying the original copy.

This would really just create a lower-level protocol or new number system for publish-subscribe content. It would compete with the other ARPAnet protocols such as TCP.
If you've ever worked as a camp counselor for rich kids - the term abuse can work out as follows:

"Clean up your crap" = "You can't make me, that's abuse, my dads a lawyer."

Is asking someone whose had maid service / cleaners to clean up their crap in a group situation abuse?

The other stuff is feeling "uncomfortable" or "unsafe" in situations where you are asked to take the most basic responsibilities (ie, turn in an educational assignment").

Kids will get a school counselor to excuse them from the work because it makes them feel "uncomfortable and stressed".

Because people (US citizens) complain that their free speech rights are being violated.

They're not, unless the US Government itself is restricting what they can say.

As it is right now, Twitter can do whatever the hell it wants with its platform and you're free to start your own if you feel so compelled.

>I feel frustrated because I believe that tyranny and infringements on the rights of man can come from both the public and private sector.

I think that there's some misunderstanding of what the "rights of man" are, and where they are set. Do you really want the government involved in your private interactions with a private company?

Who or what gives you these rights? As far as I can tell, it's only granted by the constitution and amendments.

The 9th amendment is somewhat of a grey area, I suppose. Even so, I don't think that "I deserve to tweet whatever I want without being banned" is an enumerable right. If you want to go further, an amendment would be needed.
Almost every time anyone mentions DNSSEC here on HN, you pop up like a jack-in-the-box to claim that nobody is using it and that it is dead. And it’s always you, nobody else. Whereas, from where I sit, I work at a registry and DNS server host (among other things) where about 40% of all our domains have DNSSEC (and that number is constantly climbing). Every conference I go to, and in every webinar, people seemingly always talk about DNSSEC and how usage is increasing.

You might have some valid criticism about the cryptography; I would not be able to judge that (except when you are basing it on wildly outdated information). I’m not an expert on the details; you could most assuredly argue circles around me when it comes to the cryptography, and possibly about the DNSSEC protocol details as well. But, from my perspective, your continuous claim that “nobody uses” DNSSEC is simply false. DNSSEC works, usage of DNSSEC is steadily increasing, and new protocols (like DANE) are starting to make use of DNSSEC for its features. Conversely, I only relatively rarely hear anything about MTA-STS.

Guess what we mean by doomsday, but I’d 100% prefer to own a rural property if say the electric grid fails than a city. A lot of farms are installing solar, grow their own food, etc.

In terms of protection, I guess it’s possible people will come to try and take your land, but that really depends on the scenario. In either case, if you live more rurally you’re going to probably need a gun. If you have roaming bands of criminals you’re still going to want to own your own land as opposed to a massive complex or something.

Regardless, this person was asking about financial advice. You’re still better off owning land in most cases as opposed to stocks or gold if it hits the fan. If you’re really worried about it hitting the fan, invest in guns and ammo.

I think OP means they were censoring things that weren't objectionable (offensive, etc,) and they were removing "reasonable" things that were opinions, etc. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is where Twitter/Facebook/etc have lost me; by censoring things that aren't harmful they've opened pandora's box.
America has a caste system too but we call it "class" typically to make it seem more meritocratic. In conversation we typically focus on the exceptional cases of economic mobility rather than the rule. I did use caste on purpose to draw the parallel to India, a place where Britain famously used the caste system to rule.

People are people, but people interact differently depending on the country. Here in France, what we often hear about the USA is that they have very different social norm. The usual story is: someone goes to the USA, they are successful, everyone is nice with them, they have tons of friends, then suddenly something bad happens to the person, and all of their friends disappear/refuse to help. So from that I deduce that people in France in general (at least in my sphere) have less but deeper friendships. That's not a judgment of value of course, but that's one way countries can differ.

Though they may seem more similar in syntax now that python is introducing faux static typing, C++ is definitely not "the new python" imo. The tooling around C++ is still a maze of its own, it doesn't have a proper packaging system, STL errors are still an unreadable mess in gcc (clang does a better job), and you probably won't be using the new syntax in mid-sized and larger companies.

If I have to whip something up quickly, python nearly looks like the pseudo-code your would write on your paper napkin, while C++ will make you battle with pointers, references, and static typing first. For a larger project, you're better off with Rust, Go, or pretty much anything else.
