How to build your SaaS Onboarding Strategy
There was another video of a Tesla being confused by a truck carrying traffic lights on the truck bed. I do like the idea of what Waymo does, which is to run their model through a virtual world to see how it performs. It's amusing to imagine each of these edge cases being added in as they are encountered.
For devs looking for "good" management (and for existing managers that don't know what they are doing but are willing to let go of their ego), here are a few questions to ask

- Is the manager reducing bureaucracy for you or increasing it? Reducing is better

- Is the manager able to solve people challenges or is he shoving it down to you? Politics is strictly a management domain. They should be able to talk around the org and get shit done, even when someone not on their team is impeding progress

- Does the manager take ownership of failures of the team or does he shove down the failure to ICs? For those uninitiated, the manager takes responsibility of failed projects

- Does the manager celebrate your achievements and success or do they just paper over it? The manager should be the biggest cheerleader of successes of their engineers. If they don't highlight your work to upper management, that will impede your growth in the career ladder. DO NOT WORK TOO HARD for such lazy, incompetent managers. Your work is not appreciated

- Does you manager lie? Should be obvious, but a lying manager will lie to save themselves, even if they are only lying to others today.

Is this checklist large? Not really considering how much impact a manager can have on an ICs career.

ICs should be aware of these traits and should hold their managers to high standards. If manager cannot do even this much, quit asap.
>Or to put it another way, more vaccinated people in Israel tested positive for COVID just yesterday than all of the reinfections combined (~2K versus ~700).

Israel reported about 2K total positives yesterday. Are you trying to tell me that they were all vaccinated?
Besides which we end up in The Marching Morons situation. All the smart, caring people stop having kids while the conspiracy theorists proliferate. What kind of future does that create for us? None that we'd want to live in.
Purism will sell you a setup with the Librem laptop and hardware key, which has some verification of the system firmware as well as, presumably, supporting disk decryption. I'm not sure how much extra that gives you over fairly generic hardware tokens with LUKS encryption. Apparently LUKS2 supports FIDO2 keys, which may be the cheapest.
That idea is appealing to people living in larger, more concentrated, urban environments, and a huge boogeyman for everyone else, thus becoming a big point of friction.

There is currently no real alternative to cars for people in rural environments, so we need good electric cars there. At the same time, cars in cities are completely barbaric and should not have been a part of city planning in the first place. There are good solutions that still enable people to enter cities with little problem, like largescale suburban parking with express busses/metros.

But while cars should be slowly outphased, for the foreseeable future, we will have to rely on personal transport in more rural areas, so we should do our very best to integrate it with more advanced systems in urban areas.
I'm assuming (or hoping) that access to this "internal network" doesn't automagically mean access to services on this network? Surely you require authentication for pretty much everything?
Facebook is worth $1 trillion. Twitter also very successful. I think they know what they are doing and do not need the advice of some random writer. Down-votes suck. They feel much worse on an absolute basis than the pleasure of up-votes. I am all in favor of removing them from all sites.

In general, if the size is then visible after encryption, you can tell that the data, whatever is was, compressed well. This is information leakage, and can, IIUC, be exploited to surprising degrees.
Yes, the largest sector by far is private. There aren't many publicly funded jobs (annually it's measured in low 3 digits) and the competition for them is fierce. Either way, the ethics are similar.

I don't intend to be dismissive in saying this, but the arguments that you're making are wildly off-base about the underlying subject. Moreover, archaeology for the sole purpose of increasing commercial value violates strong ethical norms.

1) While sailboats must tack to go upwind, they can tack[1] downwind also.

2) Hull speed is a limitation for displacement sailboats. Sailboats that plane or use hydrofoils or have long skinny hulls (e.g. catamarans) do not have the hull speed limitation of a displacement hull.

While the article uses sailboats as their sailing example, a much better example would be iceboats[2] which have extremely low friction. They can go up to 10x the speed of the wind. According to google, the record is 143MPH.

Iceboat racers definitely tack downwind and definitely go faster than the wind by jibing ("tacking") downwind.

The key to understanding the "faster than the wind" car is to realize that, because the propeller is spinning, the apparent wind for the propeller is no longer coming from directly behind the car. The propeller is cutting across the wind and thus the apparent wind is coming at an angle "across the car". (Since the propeller is spinning in a circle, it never has to jibe - iceboats have to jibe because otherwise they would run out of ice.)

[1] Technically sailboats will jibe rather than tack downwind. Tacking is when you pivot the bow into the wind, jibing is when you pivot the bow away from the wind.

They seem to be lumping things together pretty widely which is a disservice to people like you.

A bit of hallucinating here and there is quite common especially as you age and isn't a big deal (though if it happens suddenly go see a doctor, it can be a symptom of something happening), being unable to determine what is and is not real can be quite a problem.
What you describe is not 0 cost. You take some sort of cut for services provided, that’s what a private practice does. In exchange for patient flow computing scheduling compliance and billing they charge 30-40% of the patient bill.
In a modern work from home environment a provider could contract with a local urban private practice and offer part the hours for the same arrangement. The only real difference is they would have to interview and provide stable ability, the work can be fully remote otherwise. Also typically the practice takes a higher cut if you work fewer hours.

Not having kids is both incredibly impactful and incredibly easy. It's also clear whether you've done "enough" or not. Either you had a kid or you didn't.

Political action is much more wishy-washy and hand wavey. Did you do enough of it? What impact did it have? Sure if you could take political action that fixes the whole mess do that first. But understand that's not likely at all.
I lifeguarded throughout my teens. Definitely a good first job. However, almost 20 years on, I have difficulty turning off my sense of vigilance at pools/bodies of water. It’s not that I can’t enjoy pools or swimming, but you’ll see me scanning and silently counting heads, secretly sorting other swimmers by swim level, and quietly scooting over closer to where the kids are maybe getting a little too deep for their own good.

> Either way, the baseline went from 100 million fully vaccinated to 160 million fully vaccinated meaning a 60% increase in the population in question resulted in either 543% or 713% more deaths after breakthrough infections.

Right - the only logical variable to account for the increase would be Delta. Unless you're implying some other cause for the increase?
You use up shared resources while you're dying.

If you do it at home sure, but if you all get together and clog up hospitals, now it's my problem.
If you don't have a separate office, then odds are you have a sub-optimal work environment. So you're not considering "if you can save money working from home" but rather "if you can save money by working from a worse work environment". Which I guess is a valid argument, it's just somewhat orthogonal to the question of whether or not working from home saves money.

> only a desk of space wasted

There is a lot more to a dedicated, optimal work environment than "only a desk of space". Plus the fact that a LOT of people live in places that don't have an extra "desk of space". Approximately half the places I've worked couldn't give up a desk's worth of space without it being in everyone's way.
Given their YouTube push of vaccine marketing, this wasn't unexpected.
Final Entry
> Firstly, the vaccines seem "effective" against variants, using the current definition of effectiveness of just reducing symptoms.

Effectiveness against current variants doesn't guarantee effectiveness against future variants. "Just" reducing symptoms keeps people out of hospitals and graves.

> Secondly, no vaccine in history has come with a disclaimer that it doesn't work unless 100% of the population is vaccinated.

Straw man.

> Vaccines give individual protection.

And herd immunity when enough people get them.

> Thirdly, governments were saying very clearly that estimates of herd immunity were in the 60-70% range - very far from everyone. Why are people now claiming that this was wrong?

I very clearly heard up to 90% of the population. And we wouldn't know until people got vaccinated. Governments then set lower targets like 70% of adults. Probably they decided they couldn't persuade 90% of the population. Those weren't herd immunity estimates though.

Some estimates have gone up because the delta variant is more transmissible. Moreover most countries are under 60% vaccinated.
Digital Ocean and Nest both had incidents this morning as well.
> while the Culture Pass can be spent on video games, the game’s publisher must be French, and the game must not feature violence — conditions so restrictive that most popular titles are unavailable.

The amount of unrealistic idealism on display is what I've come to expect from a committee driven programs that also fears the outrage of their pet bases that keep votes/money coming in (further diverging the idea from the intended end users).

Why does every government project have to be an exercise in unintended side-effects overtaking the original good intentions?

No amount of whitelisting with added conditions will make this work so broadly or universally country-wide when you're ultimately a stream fighting against an ocean. People will always find the loopholes and bypasses to do what they want to do. Which should be expected and factored in.

Instead of forcing things where there is little motivation by the teenagers to truly appreciate what they are consuming, the goal should be to remove barriers/hurdles for those who are motivated by helping expose the opportunities (by helping overcome limitations like local access, cost, etc) and investing in the harder problem of getting them motivated.

Otherwise it's just best to plant small seeds which let them find it themselves via other form factors - where being more targeted probably makes more sense.

This is where the arguments of wastefulness ring true, not simply because people don't want kids to explore more high-arts or deeper culture or whatever. Instead balancing the ambition with hard realities.

I saw someone trying to help just get in the lifeguard's way in one of the vids - the pushed a huge gloat towards the kid but it was too high for him to reach. But they pushed it in the path of the lifeguard so it slowed down the rescue by a good 3 seconds.

Some people are going to have to make decisions like the ones I've laid out (it's how I chose to live my life, but not for environmental reasons).

If not, that's fine too, but then enjoy the next 50ish years before things get real bad.
it is pretty much a common knowledge that we will never reach consensus with this issue. Question: assuming that prognosis is actually true (this time), what could we do to prepare for the worst?

With renewable energy advancements we shouldn't have problems with powering city-wide air-conditioning systems.

Architectural engineering would be one of the booming domains, I imagine (re-engineering shorelines, artificial islands - similar to what UAE is doing, or how Miami beach was engineered)

What else? Countries that can afford it - i imagine it's the perfect time to invest in/strengthen military and, most importantly, border security.

Indoor farming with irrigation complimented by a condescension from cooling systems?
While I do get the point, I feel like this works only for people having regular jobs, e.g. being paid for their time.

If you're a researcher for example bashing at that hard(but often popular) thing will probably yield little to no results. On the other hand going for paths unknown might feel riskier, but has the potential of uncovering low hanging fruit. Just my 2c.
For the "News" portion no, for the "Hacker" portion absolutely.

People treat their cast irons as if they're fine china. The reality is they've been used for hundreds of years for cooking, without complicated maintenance routines. You can do pretty much whatever you want with them (within reason) and they'll still turn out fine. Yes, soap is fine, as is a mildly abrasive scrub.
Microsoft appear to be moving this way as well with the recent Windows 365 announcement [1].

Do you believe there doesn't need to be long term studies of traditional vaccines? There have been decades of research into them as well.

I believe both mrna and traditional vaccines are safer than covid. I just don't like to take vaccines or medication without longer results than a year. I also agree mRNA vaccines shouldn't have any long term negative effects, but I tend to take the position when in doubt don't take an action.

If in 5 years there hasn't been any widespread negative effects I will probably take it.
Sadly much more boring. It's mostly the result of heritage laws that require archaeological experts to be involved in construction/development projects under certain conditions. We're usually involved as private contractors either in looking for things before/during construction or rescuing found sites.

Comcast used to provide /56's but they tightened that down to just a /60.

He was talking about protecting a trade secret, patents are about giving up your trade secret to have a monopoly for a given time. This enabled society in the past to build complex systems by standing on each others shoulders. The problem with patents nowadays is the way they are validated, they used to be validated on the idea and now they are validated on implementation, which enables corporations to change a single ingredient of that idea to take out another patent. Also corruption of all parts of government and civil society does not help e.a. lobby-ism, revolving door employment between corporations and government/civil society.
From a purely business perspective a COVID-19 infection is highly disruptive to business operations. If you're following CDC guidelines (and some businesses legally must) then a COVID-19 infection causes you to not only lose the infected employee for the duration of their illness, but you lose every other non-vaccinated employee who has had contact with that employee for two weeks. I know of at least five businesses near me that had to close down for two weeks in the fall/winter due to COVID-19 infection - they didn't have enough non-sick, non-quarantined employees to operate.

That's why an employer might mandate vaccinations for their employees.

Like I said, there's always plenty of great ways to rationalize not taking action. But that doesn't change the outcome which is a world that's going to be a lot less fun for nearly all the kids.
It's not just buildings. Almost everything is framed this way. "Not harmful to humans" has been common for as long as I've been alive. Food, water, air, radiation/light or sound. It's like if something is not known to be harmful to humans, then we are not supposed to worry our pretty heads with it.

Well, I do care about all sorts of things that I can eas6 ignore/shield myself from but are harmful to others, including other living beings.

I guess that makes me weak, or so I've been told
Of course not. Most countries have mandated vaccines for HCW.

The reason the flu vaccine isn't one of them is because it's not that effective to begin with and you have to take it every year. It's not effective enough to really stop an epidemic, so instead vaccinating patients is the main thrust instead of HCW, because the overall impact will be fairly low.
Not trying to sound too negative but if you've already choosen that title before writing the piece, I'm not sure you're really writing about science.

True, but you could compress then encrypt.

There have been what’s called “compression oracle” attacks on SSL with compress then encrypt scheme, see CRIME

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_attack

An attacker could inject known plaintext to an unknown source and observe the size of the ciphertext. If the size doesn’t change much, it means the chosen plaintext is correlated with the source. Several variants exist.

Compression is often not recommended in VPNs.
> These visions of wildlife atop city buildings aren't just picturesque, they're often hailed as one solution to the world's rapid loss of nature.

Livestock takes up about 40% of the habitable land on earth (80% of all agriculture land) to supply only 20% of global calories (https://ourworldindata.org/land-use). The world is producing 3 times more meat than it was 50 years ago so we're eating much more than we used to as well (https://ourworldindata.org/meat-production).

Animal products clearly aren't substantial, are destroying ecosystems, and taking up a crazy amount of land that could be rewilded.

People generally don't want to hear about this and would rather discuss things like "wildlife atop city buildings", non-industry farmed animals (which take up even more land) and technological solutions (which we don't have time to wait for) instead.
> In the case of a yellow traffic light, there should be a traffic light fixture and two other (unlit) lights. Without this context, it becomes apparent the yellow pixels in a circular shape (representation to the network) are not a traffic light at all.

Permanent yield signals are often only one flashing yellow light. Crosswalk signals are often only flashing yellow lights when active. Temporary construction barrier signals are often only yellow flashing lights. Fire station signals often have only red and yellow lights, no green. Even when all three lights are present, they may also be oriented horizontally, or in triangular shapes.

Which isn't to say there isn't more context to learn from, but just about the only true unifying trait among all these indicators that you should perhaps pay attention and slow down is a bit of yellow light. It need not even be circular: yellow arrows are far from uncommon, including "straight ahead" yellow arrows for intersections where turns are forbidden.
