You have just been lucky, back office technology when I used to work for a large bank in the UK there was a manager who would routinely shout at everyone. He was repeatedly promoted and seen as a person who "got things done."

I really pitied the juniors who learned to model this as what "good" looked like, I suspect it has genuinely harmed their long term life prospects.

In response to complaints it was always, "he's a Southern European, they're passionate," that came as the response.

So not unusual at all.
Depression isn't the only emotion you feel when you stop being disconnected from the world. You may come out of it with a greater appreciation for nature, art, literature, etc. You may even have more pride in your work as you become capable of developing a design language and incorporating it into what you build.
Working with quite a few contrarians, I have noticed a tendency to be so done-with-it and disapproving of conventional wisdom that one can end up subtly approving really immoral things on the basis that you can kind of do anything - proportionality be damned - as long as you are right (for some value of correct)
I think a lot of it comes down to corruption. The recurring theme in Argentina is that the large landowners and right-wing politicians hoard the wealth of the country; although living standards rise slowly, most people are left behind. Then there's a socialist movement which nationalizes industry and promises reform. But they're just as corrupt, and use the levers of monetary policy to line their pockets. International investment reels in horror, the debt skyrockets, they print more money, inflation goes wild, then they default on the debt and there's a few years of depression. Finally, the right wing gets back into power, removes the currency controls, issues new currency - essentially wiping out ordinary savings but safeguarding land-based wealth - and privatizes everything again. Rinse and repeat.
Honestly I wish there was more screaming and yelling. I'm tired of fake smiles and passive aggressive behavior. If you dont like what I'm doing please tell me. I'm up for a proper debate.

One of the best places I worked at occasionally one guy would completely throw a tantrum - but then at the end of the day would have a few beers with the guy he was arguing with and make up. People just learned how he was. Ideally tantrums aren't the best way to do it, but some proper communication would be good.
OK, the article convinced me, especially the end. My next password will be 'mitigationpasswordvulnerabilities'.
I find the BioCeuticals brand to be particularly effective, though I mainly take it for cramps.

It seems that being chellated it has a very rapid uptake compared to almost any other formulation I have tried - eg I have had a calf cramp that has left me barely able to walk and drinking this form released it to normal in 30 minutes.
> European honeybee, the only bee we humans get honey from

Apis mellifera is the main, but not the only species. Asian, African and Australian people harvest also wild honey from local species of Apis.

Mayans domesticated also a second type of honey bees that are stingless and native from Neotropics. They are breed from Mexico to Argentina. Each hive can produce small amounts of fine Melipona honey that is acidic and rich in fructose. Those are 100% native american honey bees.

Asians finally culture a third genus of tiny honey bees producing Trigona honey.
I think the difference is a good manager will be good at difficult one on one meetings with subordinates as part of their job on a regular basis. They’re good at the hard bits of soft squishy things with complex needs.

An architect may have the occasional difficult meeting with other stakeholders from time to time, but their regular role is not managing people.
> They actually exist today to prop up an academic research industry driven by cash and reputation.

Just yet another problem with academia that needs to be solved. This system leads to all sorts of academic dishonesty such as reviewing rings. It's at least partially responsible for the sheer number of bad papers being published today. Disrupting it is a good thing.

> If they disappeared tomorrow, there would be a breakdown in institutional funding, there would be chaos in editing, publishing, discovering and vetting information, and it would actually be harder to access information.

It's okay. Just let the whole thing break down. Eventually it'll sort itself out.

> Sci-Hub distributes information that paid journals have already done the work to curate.

This curation is just gatekeeping done by peer reviewers. All they need to do is set up a blog and start gatekeeping it. Good papers get posted there, bad papers don't.

I really don't see why it has to be any more complicated than that.

> But throwing the baby out with the bathwater isn't a better solution.

It's certainly better than sitting around waiting for a multi-billion dollar industry of copyright monopolists to get even richer and powerful.
Okay, "street" being urban is a thing in NZ. The thing you drive on to get from one city to another is never a street. Within a city though, "road" and "street" seem the same.

It's a low number and percentage in a relative sense. It's a non-insignificant number in an absolute sense.

This whole subthread was in context of the question of how often people drop out from Oxford and for what reasons. My point is that it's 310 people every year or few years (depending on how they count that 24000 number) - it's a number big enough to admit a variety of reasons and characters.

Is it idiomatic to assert things and recover from them the way people sometimes do with exceptions?
Here's a fun one:

> "Employees said Suleyman encouraged them to use private chat groups on Signal and Telegram for work conversations, some of which were set up to automatically delete messages after a set period. Employees were also on occasion asked to delete messages from their phones, a former employee said. They were also told to notify the group once they had done so."

The burden of proof is on the claimant, sure. But if your boss forces you to delete the evidence, the stakes are that much higher.
So if Journals don't pay the reviewers and the reviewers are what filters out the garbage, then what necessary function are the journals filling? Do they vet the reviewers? Index the studies?

I've never had much trouble finding what I need on GitHub or scihub. Seems to be indexed pretty well.

And if there is a conflict of interest for reviewers to be paid, then isn't their a conflict of interest for those selecting and vetting the reviewers?
> True, but the solution to this situation is quite easy (install Signal).

Perhaps for you, but definitely not easy for everyone. There's also the case where you don't really know the person you're messaging.

edit: Re Apple, I agree, if they don't implement it then we probably won't see a change. But IMO, the government should play a role here by enforcing a better open standard.
The writing is kind of a confused mess. It jumps around without making connections between paragraphs, has no unifying structure, and somehow credits the actor Michael Caine with knowing a lot about a subject because he happens to play an expert in those subjects? Does that make Richard Chamberlain an expert in medicine because of his long-running role as Dr. Kildare?
Fair enough, I didn’t really explain my point very well.

I interpreted the authors choice of words more as an emotional critique of things like composition, colors, etc.

If I saw some poorly written code, and I happened to say, “this code destroys my soul” as a figure of speech. Most people would understand that I just have an intense distaste for the code, not I am not having an existential crisis.

From an artistic sense, if I analysed a single frame from the first scene of the Shining, I might use similar language to the author, even though objectively it is just a car on a road.
>The pandemic has made this abundantly clear.

In an ideal world, everyone in every country would have coordinated and stayed inside for a month while the virus died out. Now, just because the ideal measure wasn't taken, folks pretend we're experiencing the worst possible outcome from COVID. This has been far from the worst possible outcome. Let's stop acting like our response to the pandemic was a complete failure when it simply wasn't.
It's difficult to be sure without a photo, but probably it was part of the program "precios cuidados". It was not 100% mandatory, and not 100% voluntary, it was something in between, so I don't blame you for being confused. The factory and the supermarket got some benefit in exchange of keeping some of the products in the list at a low price. For example, nobody fussed them if the premium brand increase the price.

Something similar happened with the Big Mac in McDonald's. At some point the price of the Big Mac was like 30% lower than the other similar hamburgers. Inside the restaurant, you had big advertisements of the other combos, hamburgers and premium hamburgers, but the Big Mac appeared only in the small list of prices in the corner.

At least in the context of academic and scientific research, copyright is nonsense. Especially given that the ones that hold copyright (journal/conference publishers) do ~0 of the actual work behind the research.
I think the issue here is about how hard it is to ask for the chef to make you an omelette. If you go to https://food.gle type in onellette and your desk number then great. But first you have to even know that https://food.gle exists as an internal domain which might be something your underling has as much chance of finding out as you do.
Since we were talking about emerging and developing economies I assumed that we were talking about base load since this is what they mostly need.

As we can see by Itaipu and Three Gorges Dam - people prefer renewables to coal when it makes economic sense and is cheaper.
What exactly is your point? Things are difficult, let’s not bother doing anything at all? Just let the world burn?
Do you think that's universally true, like website _owners_ (as opposed to developers) realise captchas are a thing? Seems unlikely to me; the dev setup a cdn, the owner mightn't even know what that is.

Many places like that exist in the United States, they just don't show up in captchas because they're much more likely to include identifiable humans.
>Unfortunately, it turns out that the minimum altitude necessary to avoid any shading is 2750 m, rather taller than any structure ever built on Earth.

Well, you wouldn't be building it on earth. The gravity on the moon is 1/6 as strong, which I understand means it could be 6x as tall as anything on earth. Granted, this would still be massive, but closer to reasonable.

>there are numerous places on the surface of the Moon, including close to polar regions, that are always in view of Earth.

As I recall, the moon is tidally locked - half of it is always visible to the earth, the other half never is. Is he just qualifying that the poles are the exception?

>Microwave antennas positioned here could receive power beamed up from the surface of the Earth from one of at least three stations such that one is always in view.

Why based on earth? This means you have to deal with earth's atmosphere, which creates other problems. My suggestion would be to put satelites at the moon-earth lagrange points, and have them beam power around. Knowing nothing about the analysis of these things, this would probably lead to a simpler array. You could also probably eliminate the proliferation concern this way, eg by putting it at the L2 point.
> Solar panels are quite useful, and they are essentially just beamed power receivers

Yes, but they are because their power source is unbelievably large and free. If you look at their efficiency from the perspective of what the sun puts out, they're laughable.

Problem is, with the moon beams we don't have infinite and free source power to waste on inefficiency.

> And if you focus the beam instead of just using a glowing ball of hydrogen, go with a more efficient wavelength and remove all the atmospheric losses, it actually becomes quite efficient.

Focusing the beam is not that easy, you need to hit a moving spot of minimal size with an extremely powerful laser. Avoiding all atmospheric losses is probably not going to work, either. Lastly, you need to get those transmitters built on earth, which, as the OP points out, quite land intensive.

It is a theoretical option, but I would not call it efficient.

I am reading ‘Love and Lust’ by Theodore Reik and I wish it had found me 35 years ago.

Something happened between 1945 and the present that blew out our culture like the ozone layer.

Ordinary approaches don’t work today. I for one read Eric Greene’s ‘art of seduction’ and then got all the references from the library and broke the clip on my gym bag hauling them back to my office. If you are going to get better results than most people you need a fully developed technology of love. It is not something PUAs are really into because it is deeper and takes longer but it is good for forming deep ‘friendships’ and improving how you relate to people.

Most ordinary people will see all the references to life in other centuries and think it is obsolete and go back to tinder. They suck. They can’t be saved. You can be different.
The electoral system.

It ensures a two party system which makes the government lean center (on both sides) and be very stable.
It's just like any other sport that attracts cheating, doping, and so forth. Lance Armstrong got his whole cycling team using illegal steroids, baseball pitchers put goo on the ball to make it curve harder, and there was a lady who won the Boston Marathon by taking the subway to near the finish line instead of actually running the whole race. The usual incentives of money and recognition are enough to motivate an awful lot of crappy behaviour, in sports and everywhere else.
I agree about the tone. Even if the guy has legitimate grievances, it reads like a crazy person wrote it. Each of these encounters seems to result ever increasing incidents of harassment and abuse, but those allegations of abuse are also vague and non-specific.
And who decides what is classed as "banned"?

Today, child abuse, tomorrow, a Taylor Swift MP3 perhaps? And the day after that, maybe anybody who lives in California??

The US is rapidly circling the drain. There was a time when 'Article 9: Freedom of thought, conscience and religion' really meant something. There was a time when some faceless entity in a company didn't have the power to silence people (even a sitting POTUS) at his merest whim. No longer. Mourn for that time, and weep.

Vast natural resources creating wealth for the entire population. (Before anyone says “there’s lots of poor people in America...they are not even close to poor by world standards). When the economy is almost always booming, jobs are plentiful, things are cheap, there’s no reason to overthrow a government. As the famous quote explains, “it’s the economy stupid”.
I disagree. Your description of an architect sounds to me like an artifact of current workplace trends - which are to punt managerial duties and responsibilities to people as they get promoted, without giving them corresponding authority.

Architects should architect. There are some social skills requirement that come with any collaborative position within a company, but I see no reason why an architect should be expected to have managerial-level social skills, vs. senior-developer-level ones. There's nothing in the actual job of architecting software systems that requires it.

But to be explicit about my original point: managing is a completely different type of job than writing code or architecting systems. It's a whole specialty on its own. Not everyone has the necessary organizational and social skill set. It's learnable to a large degree, but that takes time. Just because someone sucks as a manager doesn't mean they're a bad employee or a bad human in general - it only means they don't have the specialized skills necessary for that particular role.
I've often questioned why some new world countries fared better than others.

In your opinion, what could have staved off the Anglo-empire meddling in Argentina's case? Had the governing class in Argentina joined (or succumbed to) the Anglo financial system early in the 20th century would the foreign powers that be have promoted stability rather than instability in that country?
I'll take a look at the exact figures, but assuming the average number of people at McMurdo is 750, it's 9 tonnes per person per year, whereas in the case of ISS, it should be something like one third of this number per crew member at worst. Clearly they've already minimized the necessary supplies somewhat already.
This essay must be a personality test, because I read it as satire and laughed manically imagining someone so concerned with this.
How would a shareholder know without such an article?
It's the same reason people defend Bill Gates or Bezos, or any other rich or powerful person for that matter. People want what they have, and they feel if they attack them, recognize their immorality or destitute nature of their souls they are in a sense attacking their future self image, and it feels inconvenient. Especially where where there are a lot of valley Elizabeth Holmes types on here that fancy they are potentially one or two exits away from that lifestyle, they would rather see past the heaps of immoral actions taken to achieve success in order to maintain their fantasies.

If I call out that successful persons immoral behavior, I can potentially be placing my future self in a morally compromised position when I encounter such a situation that may lead me to take immoral actions. No one want's to fantasize themselves being a hypocrite.

This was a base password I used for about two or three years, altering the W19m ending to be a familiar measurement value for me, like walking 19 meters. It's actually lyrics from a song "Hun sang for meg", from Norwegian band Karpe Diem (song name is "Byduer i dur"). It falls into the problem of replacing letters with alike symbols, but that provides the complexity requirement, while also having enough length to be secure even without doing letter replacements.

My worst passwords are often for the things I should really keep most secure because they have the dumbest restrictions that cripple complexity.
