Like in many other activities, a "do over" is benefits one side or the other. When used as a punishment for cheating, the do over is usually waived if the team who is being punished lost. See a lot of the objections in legal cases, which are not appealed by the winners but would be if they lost.
To answer your question, yes they do.

Ofc this would be dependent on how critical that specific personnel to the group or company overall.

One thing to note though, when the employer is handed over the 2 week notice, for the employee, the process has been at least months in making. I don't think at that point, it is merely a matter of money, sometimes people do want to shake things up.

Apple may make great USB chargers, but they have certainly cut corners and shirked responsibility when it comes to the rubber insulation of their Lightning and (MacBook) MagSafe cables.

I've brought my frayed MagSafe charger, which has degraded to the point that it's been staining everything blue, to an Apple Store Genius Bar multiple times, and the Geniuses (in multiple countries) keep saying that it's my fault that the insulation degrades over time, and that such "wear and tear" is not covered under warranty.
This is the comments section on that very evidence.

The article does specify that "nobody can explain how wings work", not that "nobody knows how wings work". It also tries to go into "but WHY do the Navier-Stokes equations work like this", which is just not how physics works.

But yeah, there is just not an explanation that is both simple and complete and journalists have a pretty rough time dealing with that.
The elephant in the room here is almost all containers according to artifacthub.io, etc are a complete tire fire
Its been a while but my first macbook charger came close to setting a fire I think. I smelled something as I passed my bedroom, and found that the computer charger was smoking. I unplugged it from the computer/wall and put it in my sink and things were fine, but it definitely freaked me out. I haven't had similar issues since, but every single one of my dozen or more since have frayed _very_ quickly relative to other cords/chargers I use.
In an "at will" employment state - which I presume covers the vast majority of US based readers here - the final arbiter of whether someone is doing a "good job" or not is their employer. If they're still paying the employee, they must be doing a good job according to the employer's standards even if by the employee's standard they are doing nothing.
It's a surprise to see my blog post from nine years ago (!) at the top of Hacker News. Anyone have questions about chargers?
this making out "white men" to be evil from the start is getting tiresome.

white people are a mere fraction of total people.

why are "we" not crying foul that china, south korea, vietnam, etc are not "diversifying"? why are we not crying foul that mexico and south america are not diversifying?

why is it only white nations must diversify, and cast the male members of the race as "evil"?
In many US localities it’s illegal to discriminate against military veterans. Increasingly we’re seeing police being added to lists of “protected classes” too. This attitude is (unfortunately) changing in society.
I Lost the SecurityTrails ReconMaster Contest
I would be very surprised if Bitcoin moved more than 100 percentage points downwards :-P

But on a more serious note, this bet is based on the idea that if/as USD hegemony collapses (in ~decade time scale), inflation will accelerate and there is an increased chance that Bitcoin becomes world reserve currency. I believe Bitcoin volatility will decrease as price grows (it already has to an extent), and once it has about one more ~10x increase (reaching roughly market cap of total earth gold supply) the bubble/bust pattern will break and it'll become more stable.

But who knows. I recommend keeping 1-5% of net asset value in cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, maybe ADA if you like risk, roughly weighted by market cap and ignoring long tail of unproven coins), but it is certainly a very risky investment and securing them has unique technical challenges that make them less suitable for non-technicals.
Now, if only they could engineer a cable that doesn't get ripped to shreds within the first few weeks of use...

I think all it paints is a picture of someone who is good at virtue signaling in public. I don't think there's a need to dig much past that.
exactly, estimating the price solely by the sum of its components is like paying programmer by the number of characters they typed
Google-enabled Android is also fully supported. People without smart phones will be disadvantaged slightly, yes.
True. I guess I'm considering his public image in the aggregate, excepting those occasional blunders.
Actually, I am a skipper and because of that I had to go through quite thorough training of which large part is focused on saving people in Man Over Board situation.

I estimate full 1/3rd of entire training was devoted exclusively to getting a person back on the ship if they happened to fall into water while underway.

It is said "people do not splash" because if you are focused on looking for flailing hands and splashing water and shouts for help then your are missing most people that drown.

But it doesn't mean people don't shout and don't flail. They do. Just not most of the time.
Had a good laugh at this. Thanks
I have seen the result of two mobile chargers blow up in the office - the fire was only prevented by fuses and even so there were black scorch marks on the power outlets. My dads battery charger blew up similarly.

In all cases it was because they were brought cheap on Aliexpres. I haven't seen any chargers sold elsewhere have any issues. The closest thing I got was when I charged my laptop on my bed and had put the blanket over the charger - it didn't fail but it got really, really, really hot.

So based on anecdata: don't buy things things to stick in walls on aliexpress. Also fuses are really nice.
I'm suddenly reminded of the sweeping intermittent blackouts we've had on sites like Youtube in recent years. Youtube is ostensibly just a recreational site, and yet it still caused a fair bit of disruption. Imagine a world where a cluster of servers or a CDN config goes down and EVERY WINDOWS PC just stops working. Oh joy. Yes, tech that is MORE fragile is exactly what I wanted, load me up a truckfull.
I've only experienced coil whine from OnePlus Dash chargers. I mainly use Samsung chargers, and never had an issue.
SK is committing demographic suicide though, so whatever you think of its success, it has a pretty fatal disease. It has the lowest birthrate in the world.

Yes, by 2100, the population might be all the way down to where it was in 1980.

Also, at some point, South Korea and North Korea may settle up, much as West Germany and East Germany did, and for much the same reasons.
> The average person doesn't use 24 hour/military time. Maybe in the tech world.

True in the US (and IIRC the Anglophone world more generally), but AFAIK 24-hour is more commonly used outside of military/technical domains in many other countries.
When something's too big and heavy to move you turn it into a financial instrument anyway and change (e.g. yap stones) the ownership.

I still think there's something a little bit special about bitcoin. It simultaneously has the properties of modern electronic currency BUT has some elements of "permission-less-ness" like cash or gold.

I think they're betting that most people at Amazon were pro-Union but had a "I'm worried Amazon will find out my vote, so I'll let others do the voting for me" mentality. And now that it lost, they're hoping it's a wake-up call that votes matter.

I think the accusation that Amazon "gave workers the impression that their organizing activity was being surveilled" makes it clear the union believes people were afraid to vote.
Geese are cool dudes
I don't know first party intent, which I why I asked the user directly in this exact thread, but instead you responded. They still haven't said what they mean.
The surveillance seems like the more troubling ruling. Having a security guard stand outside a union meeting and photograph the attendants seems like a thinly veiled threat, and if I were in that situation I would likely jump ship.

How does one learn to build such things? Most would say school, but I imagine there are particularly good reads out there that are more helpful to those driven enough to be autodidacts.

Thank you for such an excellent and digestible article. Such a pleasure to read.
I personally want to do a good job, but some companies make that hard to employees, albeit sometimes inadvertently. Whether it's by tying people up in politics, having them do busywork, or just failing to reward them.

To give an example, at one of my previous jobs, for several years in a row I was noted by my managers as being a high performer and someone who would be ready for leadership. Despite this, I got an average (you did good but that's it) performance rating, because only a few people could get the higher rating. The first year I had just joined so I was excluded by default, the second/third year other people ranked higher and because that rating only went to about 2 people, I missed out. When after this my manager approached me about a lead role, which was extra responsibility but no extra pay, I was pretty much done.

When I was in my 20s-30s I hated people who seemed like they checked out, but I understand that a lot more now. Again, I'll do a good job regardless and if I don't get rewarded for that, I'll find the door and go elsewhere, but I completely understand why people who don't have that luxury or drive would rather keep their heads down and just go through the motions.
That is really good advice

I am in the same shoe of feeling stagnating this year and trying to figure out how to get out of it. The boringness and familiarness just drags along ...
In recent interviews - Sandy Munro and Andrej Karpathy vouched his technical capability.

But it appears you have made up your mind as it seems to be the simplest answer.
It’s amazing how such a small difference can completely change the identity of the object. That rounding of the corners transformed it from sleek and sophisticated to Fischer price. It’s utterly revolting. Especially because it keeps the same materials so it looks like a pig with a dress and lipstick on.
I think we can all agree that when we attempt to silence certain views, they are often pushed underground instead of being fully eradicated. Not only that...they gain more traction. Honestly, what we are going to try to achieve on PinePage, is foster an environment conductive to dialogue. A place where problematic content can be challenged as opposed to getting it banned outright. Check out the story of Daryl Davis who singlehandedly dismantled his local pocket of the KKK, by attending their rallies and openly challenging their rhetoric.

It may well be true, but I doubt it for companies like AWS, which has enormous infrastructure, many implicit and explicit processes, and a peculiar culture to run such processes and leverage such infrastructure effectively. Losing good people means losing guardian of such culture, mavens of the infrastructure, and custodians of the processes.
This infraction is about a different Amazon facility, it is unrelated to the vote to unionize.
This is pretty wrong. Most immigrants come from much poorer countries, and they themselves have to restart everything from scratch, with little saving and no home ownership.

People coming from the Philipines, or India, or Eastern Europe, post communism from the 90s had to restart everything from scratch, including learning the language, yet over time they end up doing well.

You have this weird mentality, that all immigrants are coming rich, and from rich countries, which is the opposite from the truth.

I guarantee, that Someone in Bangladesh coming here, has had a much harder life, than the average minority living in Brooklyn or Queens.

Yet, even the obstacles, they end up doing better than the locals. So, initial conditions are not the major hamperer of success.
Never had this issue with my late 2011 MBP and my 2017 MBP. Both MagSafe chargers are in tact. The 2011 one outlasted the computer.

This is a form of theft.

I guess if you're ok with taking something that isn't yours you would see no problem with this. The rest of us see this as sociopathy.

That some countries legalize theft of property in other countries does not change the ethics of this at all.
There's an elephant in this room and its name is ethics.

When I was a mainframe programmer at IBM, one of they first things they taught us was how to stop the processor of a System/370 machine. If you can do that, ladies and gentlemen, you can bring down Bank of America, the US Army, the Social Security Administration, etc. So everyone there knew how to be a "black hat" hacker if we wanted to.

Was there money to be made in that? Surely. More money than IBM ever paid anyone! But the reason neither I nor any of my colleagues would ever dream of using our skills to hurt people is that last part of the sentence: it hurts people.

Yes, IBM did some awful stuff from helping Nazis to keeping apartheid alive in South Africa (over employee objections while I was there), but overall, the "corporation" provided valuable goods and services to real people who had to slog on in real jobs every day to get the world's real work done.

Oil companies are in the same boat. The world runs on oil and some ransomware attacks aren't going to change that. The idea that terrorism (and black hat hacking is absolutely a form of terrorism) is a useful way to change corporate behavior is so ill-informed that it's pathetic.

When asked about taking a "white hat" approach and selling legal pen testing (or even PTaaS), these developers declined saying they probably couldn't monetize their skills at the same level that way.

Well, I say, too effin' bad. If everyone optimizes solely for himself, there will be no one left. It's appalling to me that criminal organizations now recruit, have price lists, and get PR placement. These people and their products (and their communication channels) need to be turned off ASAP for everyone else's sanity and self-preservation.
An average tenure hides a good number of people with longer tenure than that. I'm personally a counterexample to your point, for instance, and I know quite a number of others on other teams at my company (one of the FAANGs).

Turnover is definitely not uniform and a 12 month architecture lifespan is not, in my experience, either normal or healthy.
there are good free/oss container scanners. check out Trivy.—no reason not to use one.
there once was an adblocker called nano which was open source and quite popular. the developer sold the ownership and the new owners injected malware which was then shipped to all chrome users with the extension.

so i don't see why the same shouldn't work for pypi packages and i also don't understand why noone saw this coming. with how many companies have adopted python there surely will be a security vendor willing to provide free package screening for the repo
And then you get cancer..
Not to mention the cable deterioration. I recently got an M1 MacBook Air and the USB-C charger is finally designed such that the cable is replaceable. No admission of wrongdoing, blaming the user, but at least an acceptable final fix.
This may sound a bit weird but haven't you noticed they all are psychopaths? Although high functioning ones. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezoz... These are not healthy people mentally. But they are rich and powerful.
Definitely not the only company to suffer from this, but most charging cables from other companies are sleeved with plastic - which seems more durable but will wear out too. Usually they don't feel or look as good, compared to a new Apple cable. Which is, I assume, the reason they keep doing this, to look great at the store.

Problem is, like you say, it can wear away relatively easily, depending on conditions. And they don't look anywhere near as good once dust starts building up.

Now, you can fix this (and any other cable for that matter) with some paracord and optionally some plastic sleeving (techflex or similar) and heat shrink. That's better than throwing away cables. You can also do this for aesthetics with perfectly good cables. Bunch of youtube videos on how to do this (keep in mind, most are sponsored or made by the very companies selling these).

The thing I don't understand is - colorful paracord makes the cables look great. They come in different colors, which would make a lot of sense for Apple. Protected by good plastic, they are pretty much indestructible. At scale, they obviously have access to even better materials with they could use to make their cables look unique.
I wonder if their new braided cords are in response to the old yellowing plastics.
> Amazon had a ballot collection box installed in an employee parking lot “without authorization” from the NLRB’s regional director. The NLRB definitively denied Amazon’s request for a drop box on the warehouse property. Amazon installed one anyway. The box was placed under the view of Amazon security cameras, creating "an impression of surveillance." An employee testified to having seen company security guards open the mailbox.

In general, if you have a postbox tied to the company, then only people supporting the company will feel comfortable using it. Hence the votes will be biased anti-union.
Have you torn down any more recent chargers? Curious if quality standards for Apple or other consumer electronics companies have held steady, improved, or gotten worse in the 9 intervening years.
Yes. But all of them have a few common factors.

Noticeably: the Bank Run, which simply doesn't happen anymore under our current standards of money. Practically speaking, we've solved the traditional bankrun problem.

The issue with Gold is that it is inflexible. Banks will take it upon themselves to expand the monetary supply (see how Tether, USDC, and other cryptocoins are expanding the supply of cryptocoins in the BTC market). You don't need a government to inflate the money supply: the market actors will do that on their own. Remember that "Bank Notes" in the 1800s were non-centralized and issued by individual banks (ex: "Canal Bank 5 Dollars")

For you to blame the government for what the market does naturally is... a mistake. Banks will be banks: they'll hold money, they will reserve some, and try to turn that money into more money by lending it out to other parties. When done with physical Gold, everything collapses during a crisis.

When done with fiat, we have the ability to control the money supply as needed, to soften the blow of the crisis.

---------

These bank-runs of the 1800s and early 1900s on the Gold Standard (or Bimetal standard: gold + silver) were both solved by the same mechanism. The modern fiat money system and fractional reserve banking (where banks are regulated to only do this re-lending thing to levels we can keep track of).
In particular for larger amounts of money. Many countries have deposit guarantees for smaller amounts, so for most individuals it wouldn't make any sense to buy negative-interest bonds. For example, someone in the U.S. who wants to store $250k with a government guarantee can simply put it in an FDIC-insured bank account. I believe Germany is similar, though with a lower €100k guarantee per account. You can go a little higher by having multiple accounts at different banks (at least for FDIC insurance, the first $250k at each separate bank is covered). But if you have $10m or $100m to store, government bonds become the only practical way to get a similar level of insurance.
Wait a minute, I thought mail-in ballots and ballot drop boxes were beyond reproach? Clearly not. But only when the stakes are lower than a federal election, apparently.
Their strain relief is absolutely rubbish, too. How many of us have multiple Apple cables that end up looking like this [1]? They've been doing this for how long, and they can't solve strain relief, which every other cable manufacturer has figured out?

I wonder if they can’t just be more aggressive on fiscal policy and run the economy hotter, leading to mild labor shortages and people moving away from Dollar Tree jobs (because higher productivity jobs lure the workers away with better wages).

Traditionally they’ve been worried about inflation but they’ve overestimated that most of the past decade (although it’s jumped up recently in response to the massive short term Covid spending). I don’t think the new stuff being proposed, while large, is nearly as high on a yearly basis so hopefully it can hit a non-inflationary sweet spot (although who knows).
Yep. I've lived in many large cities with huge food deserts where the only access to food within a 1hr bus ride were liquor stores, fried chicken, and gas stations (not even a 7-11).

I knew some kids growing up whose parents did not know how (and did not want to learn) to cook even the essentials. If it couldn't be microwaved, warmed up in an oven, eaten cold, or bought from McDonalds, they didn't eat it.
I don't think Amsterdam is what is meant by the Netherlands.

Amsterdam is basically a super old village built in a swamp that it interesting for its history, architecture, culture, and so on. Or for the red light district and weed shops, if you prefer that. It's not a display of infrastructure.

The Netherlands has some of the best developed infrastructure nation-wide: roads, railways, and most famously its massive water management systems, as half the country is below sea level.

It is also very well developed economically (punching far above its tiny weight), technically, and socially (hybrid welfare system).

By comparison, many parts of the US feel like a 3rd world country.
