I take it you skipped the paragraph in the middle pointing out the nature of this and where I was pointing out the slippery slope?

The reality is there are a LOT of real world examples of this going all the way to the far poles, so this isn't hypothetical - and it often gets very murderey. Authoritarians of all stripes tend to take the approach of 'if it isn't working, do it harder', and 'if they don't like it, it's because they're bad/the enemy'. And authoritarians get power when people get scared or unhappy, more often than not.

The 'evening the playing field'/'equality of outcome' approach is literally what was used to justify taking out all the intelligensia and rich folks in Russia and China during the communist revolutions, the 'punish them harder because they keep failing' approach is what is being used to punish minorities in a number of states literally right now in the US - and I could go on.

I don't know why you would assume I think the ADA is a problem. The ADA is a reasonable setup - but it also doesn't guarantee, or attempt to guarantee, equalities of outcomes. It attempts to guarantee a reasonable level of equality of ACCESS and/or accommodations. Which is fundamentally different, and inherently has a reasonability test that can help shut down the real outlier stuff (like wanting to shut down all non-wheelchair accessible climbing walls or whatever).

It's the difference between everyone getting an interview (or an internship) vs everyone being promoted to VP - or it being illegal to have someone who is a VP (in the meaning we have today)
That is a bit disingenuous. This isn't people thinking that the justice system should have slapped him down harder. This is people who drop into every thread where his name comes up and insist that it should never just be "Brock Turner", but rather "The Convicted Rapist Brock Turner."

Arguably the biggest argument in support of the justice system failing in this case is that it did not deter this kind of vigilante attitude; that is an important part of why the system exists in the first place.

I don’t think many companies including where I work do real scrum but some weird micromanaged thing that has a lot of artifacts of scrum without really understanding what agile should be.

In any case, when I am scrum master I put a lot of effort into keeping the backlog clean and making sure people or teams don’t block each other. I think that’s a valuable thing to do and can be close to a full time job. The big question is why we still have project managers and line managers who sort of do the same thing. Right now we have Jira to track things for the devs, but project managers use MS project so we have the same information in different tools which causes a lot of overhead to synchronize reporting.
Thank you. His claims of a Kafkaesque trial don't sound very well founded when I read this ruling.

I think volcanic winters deserve more preparation than the possibility that the climate scientists are right. If the climate scientists are right, it'll be a slow moving disaster, and we'll have to gradually abandon all the buildings next to the ocean that will have to be abandoned anyways (e.g. Surfside Condos in Miami Florida collapsed because the life of reinforced concrete isn't much more than 100 years).

1816 was The Year Without A Summer. At the time people in Europe didn't know why it didn't heat up that summer, but it was a catastrophe for humans who lived in the northern hemisphere, in every sense of the word.

Catastrophe: an event causing great and often sudden damage or suffering; a disaster. "a national economic catastrophe"

> The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1 °F).[1] Summer temperatures in Europe were the coldest on record between the years of 1766–2000.[2] This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
>
> Evidence suggests that the anomaly was predominantly a volcanic winter event caused by the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in April in the Dutch East Indies (known today as Indonesia). This eruption was the largest in at least 1,300 years (after the hypothesized eruption causing the extreme weather events of 535–536), and perhaps exacerbated by the 1814 eruption of Mayon in the Philippines.

1816 Summer in France was 3 degrees celcius cooler than average:

How do you prepare for both a certain "volcanic winter"-type events (losing growing seasons in the northern latitudes) and the possibility of anthropogenic climate change?

How many people would die if we had two volcanoes go off, in 2022 and 2023, like what happened in 1814 and 1815?

Volcanic Winter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter

My understanding is the 1814 and 1815 volcanic eruptions reduced the amount of heat absorbed by the oceans [0]. By 1816 the oceans were super-chilly, and didn't have enough heat to give off for Europe to have a normal summer.

Climate is variable. Deal with it. Volcanoes are much more of a threat to humans than slow moving disasters.

I personally don't experience any motion sickness. I have a friend who does.

It seems totally individual. What I have heard is that if you do experience motion sickness, it eventually acclimates. Most games have a plethora of "comfort" settings designed to help reduce motion sickness (snap turning, vignette, teleport motin, etc.)...
> As for the disagreement, it probably stems from the fact that with other outbreaks like Ebola, with known ~50% mortality rates, there’s unanimous consensus that they must be shut down early, and so they are.

I think this is the core thing that I've never understood about the zero covid idea. If you look at, say, France or Spain, there was a unanimous consensus that the coronavirus must be stopped early, with strong and severe lockdowns for 5-6 weeks as these sites outline. The consensus didn't break because of laziness or complacency; it broke because it didn't work, because the lockdowns reduced but never eliminated community transmission. If you have a disease that's not that bad in the scheme of things, and you try the best known suppression strategies but they don't get rid of it, what other option is there than to find a way to live with it?

I also think it's important to acknowledge that our efforts to fight Ebola have not generally been this strong, despite Bar-Yam's arguments that they should be. In 2014, some American states imposed mandatory quarantines on doctors and nurses who'd been treating Ebola patients in western Africa, and there was strong pushback - from medical experts, who said that the quarantines were stigmatizing and counterproductive and there's no medical reason to impose such an over-the-top policy. "The Ebola quarantines and other movement restrictions put in place throughout the nation beginning in late 2014 were motivated by fear and by politics, not by medical science", said Doctors Without Borders.
Currently it is a not-for-profit organization, though we plan on creating a new legal organization designed around the community to ensure our long-term sustainability.

Debt would be if someone said "I need to build a bridge across here that can handle an Army, and I've got $1m", we engineers reply "It will take $2m", and they respond "Ok, I will borrow $1m so you can build the bridge I need".

Instead what happens is they say "Well, build what you can for $1m", and you say "Ok, we can make 'a bridge' for that", and then either (a) your infantry can cross, but the tanks have to get diverted 20 miles out of the way, or (b) the tanks end up in the river along with the bridge. Since (b) is bad, you then have to spend a lot of time planning the routes for the tanks, and making sure the tanks have the right air cover, etc etc, i.e. doing more work. More likely, however, is that the manager, who is not a structural engineer, sees a perfectly good bridge and orders the tanks across anyway, causing the loss of the bridge, the tanks, and the war.

It's not debt. It's just (at best) an incomplete solution or (at worst) a bad solution that fails at the worst possible moment - e.g. database collapses during registration for the largest event of the year.

Ah, but surely, if you build the lightweight solution for $1m, and acknowledge the increased costs of managing the problems that it doesn't solve, then thats fine? Sure, but that's not technical debt either! That is scoping: we (engineers + business) identify a workable solution that provides some business value. And then we do that well. When Cunningham, for example, talks about what to do about debt, e.g. YAGNI, these are all good ideas: scoping. But the term "debt" is incorrect in this case. The term "debt" will only ever get a team in trouble as it indicates that the team is unwilling to confront the actual problem as engineering, but only as a broken metaphor.
Also a clueless collector might mistake it for a serious prop.

I'm disappointed that the study focused on over-60's. I've felt extremely lonely since the pandemic started that I've only recently been able to counteract with in-person meeting with friends. Online contact doesn't make up for a lack of real-world social contacts in my experience. I was in a severe depression for much of the pandemic and I'm 30.
>"small penis" was Chrichton making a mean joke, not a legal theory.

I had already used the adjective "informal" to describe the so-called "rule" so there was no need to nitpick that it wasn't "legal theory".

In any case, it seems like you didn't carefully read the wikipedia article so your attempted correction is not accurate. You've got your timeline mixed up.

The "small penis rule" was mentioned by journalist Dinitia Smith in 1998 (6 years before Michael Chrichton used it in his 2004 book) in a New York Times article. She was relaying a legal strategy told to her by attorney Leon Friedman.

Excerpt from the NY Times 1998 article:

>Leon Friedman, who was Sir Stephen's American lawyer in his dispute with Mr. Leavitt and who moderated the Authors Guild panel, observed that ''under New York State law, you cannot use a person's name, portrait or picture for purposes of trade without their permission.'' You can, however, use a person's identity if you don't use his name, he added.

>That is, unless you libel them. ''Still, for a fictional portrait to be actionable, it must be so accurate that a reader of the book would have no problem linking the two,'' said Mr. Friedman. Thus, he continued, libel lawyers have what is known as ''the small penis rule.'' One way authors can protect themselves from libel suits is to say that a character has a small penis, Mr. Friedman said. ''Now no male is going to come forward and say, 'That character with a very small penis, 'That's me!' ''
Good advice, thanks. I actually have an unused Synology NAS which I moved from because it was slow. I wonder if I can use HyperBackup or similar and put this one down in my garden office. That might add another layer of "distance security"...
While there may not be some universal best solution, that does not mean all solutions are created equal. You can certainly look at two options and say "this one will take about half as much effort to fix later" or "it'll take as much time, but we can put a less skilled person on it." Maybe putting a number on it doesn't mean anything in absolute terms, but it's still useful in relative terms.
The resonance width is inversely proportional to the lifetime, and if the resonance width is about 400keV, the particle would live for about 10^-21 seconds. For comparison, neutrons decay via the weak force in about 800 seconds, and delta baryons, a randomly chosen strong force decay, live for 10^-24 seconds. That makes this tetraquark long-lived for a strong decay, but that's way, way faster than a weak decay.

Probably has to do with precise definitions of "non farm", "farmer", "farming" and "agricultural".

BLS has this showing 2.3 million people working in agriculture: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat15.htm

And this showing there are 900,000 jobs for "Agricultural worker" https://www.bls.gov/ooh/farming-fishing-and-forestry/mobile/...

Clearly the terms "Employed persons in agriculture industries" and "agricultural workers" have definitions that diverge much, much more than I would have thought as a layperson.
Maybe something was lost in translation, I watched the movie dubbed to Spanish, but what I remember is that the Winklevoss tried to exploit Zuckerberg and Saverin was slacking after the first few months, so Zuckerberg only responded in a crude but not totally unreasonable fashion.

Movies tend to make us identify with the main character, maybe that's why I saw his actions as adequate to the throat-cutting environment.
It's not just a German privacy thing. There is little reason for the vast majority of lawsuits to be public.
I think the problem is that in most companies agile is viewed as something for the developers while the management structures and processes basically remain unchanged.
>>This makes LiCoO2 batteries susceptible to thermal runaway in cases of abuse such as high temperature operation (>130 °C) or overcharging. At elevated temperatures, LiCoO
2 decomposition generates oxygen, which then reacts with the organic electrolyte of the cell. This is a safety concern due to the magnitude of this highly exothermic reaction, which can spread to adjacent cells or ignite nearby combustible material. In general, this is seen for many lithium ion battery cathodes.

Lots of solutions don't want to - that's fairly different than "can't". I dare say few companies need nigh-100% uptime, and it costs an incredible amount both in setup and in maintenance to go from "10s outage while updating" to "no downtime while updating".

I read your entire post, which is absolutely pointing out the slippery slope. And sure, many others have slipped down this slope.

What I am saying is that your proposed dystopia is not the inevitable result of considering equality of outcome, as you seem to be suggesting, and that one should be very careful when making slippery slope arguments for doing nothing.

Let’s be super clear: dystopias involving murderous authoritarian leadership claiming to act in the name of equity are a problem with murderous authoritarian leadership, not a problem with equity or desiring equitable outcomes, right?

The ADA is an outcomes-focused law, that’s why it comes up in this context. It doesn’t guarantee anything, but few people are arguing for guarantees, and that’s the straw man you’re arguing against.
Everyone has their own opinions on this and their own threat vectors for their own personal situation. The following is my opinion based on my own situation which I believe to apply to the average person:

I think it is safe to assume that Google does some sort of data mining on the data you upload. If that bothers you, self hosting everything isn't your only option -- you can also encrypt everything before uploading to your Drive. Duplicity is one such example that I use.

Despite this, I still don't rely on Google Drive, not for privacy reasons but because of Google's history of disabling people's access. If your Google account is banned at no fault of your own, there is a possibility you could lose all access to those files. Even if you did nothing wrong, you will never in a million years get a human to review your case.

I have had this happen to me, but thankfully it didn't affect anything other than Google Pay. I used it twice for a family member to reimburse me grocery money and Google decided that they were ceasing to do business with me anymore, they would mail me a check, and they told me to not contact them again.

So, everything I have on Google Drive is synchronized to another paid storage service (mostly photos since I don't believe Google Photos has a very good open source self hosted alternative).
I work on site in an early stage startup, and I think it's about commitment to a communication model.

We have a 2x2 grid. On the top we have 'in person' and 'remote'. Down the side we have 'synchronous' and 'asynchronous'. I've worked in companies trying all five (yes) of these combinations. This is my experience.

- in person, synchronous: everything happens in meetings. Business likes the certainty of meetings, engineering doesn't like the disruption. With the right accommodations, most people are content.

- in person, asynchronous: everyone's in the office, and no-one knows why. The CEO offers vague maritime platitudes.

- remote, synchronous: "can you go on mute" now causes a company-wide gag reflex. Everyone's happy because they can apply for new jobs without being noticed. (Seriously, the company I worked in that did this had absurd turnover, for this reason.)

- remote, asynchronous: engineers contribute to discussion when they have time. Hotshot managers want there ideas validated now, though. Despite this contention, most people are happy.

- hybrid: A cabal has formed in the office. Finally, it formalizes when a Jira account named 'Office' appears. When a remote worker creates an issue, the cabal convenes to decide a response. There is no room for negotiation. Gradually, the remote staff evaporate. Only the hive mind remains.

Did HP really start that VLIW design _TEN_ years before P4, because that would be 1985 and I find that unlikely? At Intel IA64 and P4 were developed at the about same time, with P4 taping-out a few years later; the former in Santa Clara, the latter in Oregon.

One of the first things we plan on doing with the new organisaion is creating a criteria for each section. (We already do this for some sections, e.g. email and vpns).

If people's work from home days aren't coordinated it can save a lot of per worker real estate because you can go to floating desks so you only need to accommodate peak attendance instead of having a single desk for every person. The schedule can be adapted to team needs too so that people working together are in the office on the same days so they can take advantage of in person collaboration when needed.

What nonsense. LiIon batteries have many cycles of reuse and they almost never get thrown away. As volume get larger literally every large players wants to recycle as that will actually be cheaper at large volume then traditional mining.

As of now, it actually looks more like there are to many recycling company fighting over to few batteries they can recycle. With large players trying to do it themselves in addition to all the startups.

It seems awfully convenient for the government that evidence cannot be discussed.

Either he has already leaked and the name is out there and his 8 month sentence is justified then it shouldn't matter that we can discuss or he has kind of "leaked" but no one really knows anything so we shouldn't have access to the evidence in which case this ruling and sentence is not warranted it cannot be both right ?

The supreme court refused to hear his appeal on the basis that new media is different from traditional media, that doesn't seem right. Supreme courts are there to take novel new cases and set precedence on how the laws are to be interpreted. Drawing that distinction and not taking the case to define how such media for contempt has to be handled does not add up.

The impact is beyond just this sentence, it affects lot of journalism on how contempt laws work. In U.K. media freedom (when it comes to courts) is already not great with stuff like super injunctions. This kind of vague ruling without clearly defining what is the kind of mistake me made that is illegal does not help.
Scrum and agile are often conflated but are two different things. Agile is more a set of general principles whereas Scrum(tm) is a specific framework
