I long for a browser optimized for research. Tab management would be an essential part of what I have in mind.

It would offer a management view, where each window is a column with a list of all open tabs. I can select the tabs I want, move them around, group them into a new window, and (this is the key) save them.

This would prompt me for a title, and would produce an ordinary Markdown text file with the title as an h1 header, each tab title as an h2 header, and the body of each section as just the repeated title with the link as the anchor.

I should be able to add any text I want, including more links in the appropriate format. And I can re-launch the tabs: the browser goes through the h2 headers and launches the first link it sees.

If I reorganize the tabs, the sections move around, and adding more tabs makes more sections, while leaving any textual metadata I have provided alone.

I could email one of these to someone, and they could open it as well.

It would ship with an in-browser Markdown text editor, such that the ordinary user would never have to leave the browser. But of course, being Just Plain Text, it would also be possible to edit it in one's editor of choice.

This would, and I exaggerate only slightly, change my life.
The serpent wrapped around the tree indicates that this is to represent the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, not the Tree of Life. So, even if this were depicting hallucinogenic mushrooms, if anything it would mean that Christians viewed them as forbidden.
Both my parents are 60+, my father is in his mid seventies, and they are as productive as ever.
At first this policy seemed kind of weird. It doesn’t actually seem tied to remote work per se, but rather distance to office.

So what it seems is that google sees a lot of people wanting to work remote. With this, they say you can work remote..but if you choose to live away from office, you will earn less.

Now why do they want “remote” employees close to the office? My guess is one of two things:
1) it’s easier to require folks to come into office for random events like team building. Less room to squabble if you live in same city
2) it’s a long term play to “pull” people back into office. When you live in same city as office, it’s a much easier choice to decide “hey maybe I should just go back to office.”
It seems like most of this is services going "read-only", I would imagine Red for PRs would be that you can't access or read them whatsoever

This is different from commits, which probably should be Red.
> Most likely they are sending SMS from a short-code - and a short-code cannot send SMS to a non mobile number.

Sure you can. We do it all the time at my job, for sending reminders of appointments and medication refill notices and such. We have test recipient numbers on all of the mobile networks and the big VoIP networks like Republic Wireless and Google Voice. I even have a test number from voip.ms on there.

The requirement is that the owning carrier of the number have a partnership with the short code provider platform. Twilio famously doesn't want to pay for that partnership. Bandwidth.com, that operates the bare metal of a lot of VoIP companies, does pay for it.
To be fair, that number is self-reported and combines "speak, read, write or understand Scots".

I'm not Scottish myself, but even I could claim to somewhat understand Scots. I wouldn't say so on a census, but I'm sure there are plenty that would. Especially when there's some national pride at stake.
People will break fewer rules the fewer rules you have - and people will also use their common sense to interpret the rules. “No pets” doesn’t seem like it precludes “friend drops by with a pet and we stay on the porch”, in the same way that “no parties” doesn’t seem like it precludes “four friends come for dinner one night”.

If you’re renting a house people will expect to use it like one, no matter how many rules are trying to make it into some more restricted experience.
The EU did the right thing ethically and let vaccines be exported to their allies. In the long run they caught up though.

Amazing that Canada was forced to import from the EU because we were prevented from importing from our nearest neighbour and "closest ally" and so were set back by two months on vaccinations.
Forgive me if this is naive, but could smaller-scale cases be served by a version that uses the MapReduce model as a way to cleanly break up operations across cores instead of machines? Or do the benefits of the model become mostly irrelevant in that case?

I'm sure it wouldn't take the form of a dedicated process; probably just a language-agnostic programming pattern
Do they actually work?

You and I don't seem to share the same definition of Free Software. I personally pay for, and know others who pay for Free Software. Free is about freedom, not price.

> not to mention Android and probably Teslas in their current form, probably would have never happened were they not able to embed Linux in a controlled manner without having to invest in catering to the four total users who will want to build a system image and reflash the firmware on their whatever.

All they have to do is not go out of there way to lock down the ability to flash the firmware. It does not require extra effort to support this. It requires extra effort to block this.

Indeed, tech moves too quickly for those processes generally. Those who have great processes in tech - and I guess Github is one of those with great processes despite the occasional downtime - pay a lot for the uptime.

Critical industries plan for failure. Pilots and astronauts plan for catastrophic failure (and it happens). Hospitals sometimes have fires or run out of oxygen or beds or have equipment failures and have to plan for that.

Everybody assumes tech will just keep working in the SaaS world. At the end of the day though, costs of the average service having downtime (even if you calculate google makes 2 million per minute) are generally pretty low and are usually recouped after the service comes back up.
Was occupational training ever the primary goal of public schooling -- even back in the days when most people went directly to the workforce afterwards?
What? No, it’ll be a small amount of contracted resources that become second-class Apple “employees” who aren’t allowed to say they work for Apple. That small group will be responsible for taking on the work, which will be way more than the small number of resources can handle, then Vice will write an article about how traumatic the experience is.
I dropped on an edit. I don't consider service animals pets.

Having worked with the public in a variety of retail and volunteer capacities over the years I would agree, and expand, to say that short term rentals of your home to strangers is always a bad idea. People are, for the most part, poor stewards of anything that doesn't belong to them, and terrible at following rules.

I know many people in their sixties who choose and want to work, including my parents. They are lucky in being able to choose to work at a reduced level and not out of absolute necessity so that changes the implications, but they do not want to retire completely.

It's not clear that retirement is particularly healthy, longevity wise.
This plus CDNs I'd imagine too. S3 protocol is the new FTP and minio ticks the box quickly, they want their share of that (and deserve it imo)

I can confirm the add-on I Don't Care About Cookies works just fine if installed that way. It's just inconvenient. I wonder what stops the list of approved add-ons from growing.
i find myself quite sympathetic to this perspective.

to revitalize, some serious change is needed, that opens a wide number of people a sense of agency & possibility & opportunity. with the titanization of industry, there's less & less compelling ways to employ oneself, & re-enabling upstarts & small scale competitors (who are not simply bought out & plucked up as soon as they show promise).

it is the difference between vitality & perpetual decay (an upward, out-of-reaching, effervscing decay), as i see it.

I had to provide letters of support from my neighbors to the county. I have several house rules - mostly on not exceeding the number of guests in the reservation, providing the names of the guests, acknowledging no visitors, and no loud noise at night. So yes, I'd blame the guest if they brought an excessive number of people to my property, were loud, obnoxious, and otherwise annoyed my neighbors.

Also, it is much easier to not start spending money, than it is to give up expensive habits that you've acquired.

This goes double, once you're a family. Negotiating between partners and children about which things to cut back on is unpleasant.

My advice (which I've followed imperfectly) is that if you have the income to make this reasonable, leave a cushion where you can handle setbacks without having to make the hard choices.
I guess I've never given much credence to this theory. Why would they beat around the bush and use symbols and other words for it. Why wouldn't they just say "eat this mushroom"? Was there even a stigma against it back then?
Flattening everything physical about the pictures, reducing them to the limited dynamic range of display, and homogenizing them all to the same "average" color palette doesn't strike me as anything more impressive than a printed encyclopedia entry about quantum physics.
“Mentorship is important, yet it requires the student to be receptive and humble.”

This is a key point (not only in engineering). In fact, I think it defines whether someone will excel at a faster rate than others with similar years of experience. Most of the time it is better to observe and listen in these circumstances and then decide if the advice makes sense with independent thought. Arguing or resisting while a mentor is discussing with you creates friction that can reduce the benefits of the mentoring relationship.

"I am widely admired at work for my ability to have many, many browser tabs open. (That, at least, is what I take from the frequent shouts of "holy cow, man, look at your browser!"

You might consider that maybe they're very politely saying "Man, that's insane". Would you leave 150 books open on one table, or maybe use bookmarks instead? I guess the table might work, but it seems like lots of clutter. Everyone's mileage varies.
If only we had a decentralized version control system.
I don't have any affiliation with England, or the US, and would also consider "English is a dialect of Scots". (More than one person in Galicia described the Portuguese language to me in the analogous way...).

Still, I think it's silly to go all kayfabe here and treat the languages as completely distinct. I have similar thoughts on Slovenian and Slovakian and Flemish.

The devices in our hand aren't inherently good or bad. There's plenty of good, and there's plenty of bad. The problem is knowing the difference in the context in which it's being used. And the incentives of companies developing these technologies aren't always aligned with a concept of good or bad (ie engagement).
Until it leaves a lab I am going to lump this with the other 10,000 battery improvements that never get anywhere.
I have always liked math, but have never been great or very good at it. I graduated from a US public school gifted program, and a top 30 US university. The biggest problem I always had with math education is they didn’t teach the “why” nearly enough. I was lousy at memorizing formulas/methods (esp. in calculus), so I often found myself dead in the water during exams.
Remember when they let Epstein rape kids for decades? They don't care about CP.
Definitely holds up. Recently I listened to an artist/content creator complain about how other creators were copying their work. That's the name of the game now, anything easily copy-able does not have much value in the digital age.
What's the expectation about the depth of question and response?

Given the example of the feedback on a pitch, would the mentor be expected to watch a 10 minute pitch in full?

If I were looking for feedback on a 10 minute pitch, I think the most valuable feedback would be in the form of a 15-30 minute discussion with the person so that you can clarify, dig, and get to the necessary depth.

What sort of reply length are you considering? For the prices I'm guessing this is closer to a 30s-5min Cameo video?
Yeah, I think those are based on retroreflection.
The example I gave involved information persistence, lawyers and and government national security apparatus i.e. way above my pay grade.

So many issues transcend the narrow scope of some product, which is why 'the effect' as you say, generally goes pretty far, meaning, executive leadership input which is essentially necessary.

It's also a good example of how circumstances can create existential scenarios that have nothing to do with classical strategy and yet take up so much time and be pretty important to a companies evolution.

To me, strategic issues like acquisitions, major product extensions or internalizing parts of the supply chain (i.e. Apple doing cars, their new ASIC chips) are big, CEO level things, those are not general executive strategic things.

The VP at Apple in charge of desktop software products has a 'strategy' that is not going to remotely sound like a 'strategy'.

I believe that the iPhone, since it's inception, has evolved along the lines of efficient product operations, not strategy. Or rather, their 'strategy' would be summarized by choosing 1-3 major consumer issues to focus on, having a new physical design to support that, and all of the marketing, carrier sales, ops and production issues resonating efficiently around it. Their 'strategy' is in a way just 'effective and coordinated product, product marketing, manufacturing, marketing operations' etc..

This is spot on. Along with lots of other benefits and money directly or indirectly flowing into their hands. Keep them entertained, well fed.

Thankfully cancer doesn't run in my family, but somehow (bad luck I guess) I have lost a shocking amount of young friends or acquaintances to cancer now (all 40 years or younger). All were very healthy too (none were smokers, heavy drinkers, etc...).

I'm dreading hearing about more cases since Covid restrictions included delaying a lot of cancer screenings.
Turns out dropping the temperature didn't help either, so yeah, p-hacking for the most part:

That's because there is a human solving them. It can't distinguish between someone who actually wants to contact you and someone being paid to solve CAPTCHAs.
My biggest complaint is that SIMD opens the door to doing proper vector math (dot product, cross product, vector addition, etc) in a single instruction. I'd like to see languages like C++ and Rust adopt 2,3 and 4-element vectors as first class types and use these registers and instructions for them.

I don't want to use the language features to define my onw vector types and figure out how to minimize any overhead in the implementation. I tried that years ago in C++ and ended up not using some of my overloaded operators because they were too slow. Some of that can be overcome with C++11 (I think) features, or others. Point is, vector math is so common I think they deserve first class support in languages.

I suppose Google's argument could be: if I am going to allow remote work for this role then let's go the whole hog and move the role off-shore. There also a lot of comments in this thread confusing large organizations with individual ineptitide. Don't blame individual managers for spending time in internal meetings unless you only have 10 people working there. It's hard to organize corporations and get people behind the mission especially with a tendency to "insubordination" , also evidenced in the comments here. While many people are more individually effective working alone (at home) corporations are more effective when people work together and have more chance collaborations. IMO, the commute issue is a problem that most US cities have sucky public transport that many people won't use. The only exception is NYC. Solve that and commuting could be less stressful.
Sure, but before you do that could you approve our grant funding?
Nah, Cops are useless even for things that are a decade old like Find My iPhone, they simply won't help even if you can give them the exact lat/long or address.

I've dealt with cops when helping a friend who was being harassed (literal 100s of calls/texts a day from known burner apps) as well as physical damage to his car. The police did nothing at all, even with a step-by-step guide provided by said burner number apps for law enforcement (abuse@$burnerAppCompany.com). In the end we had to keep pressing the various app's support until they would blacklist my friends number completely from their app network. It was a huge PITA and made my friend's phone almost unusable (they would rotate numbers if he blocked them). Oh, and we knew exactly who was responsible, this wasn't even a "here is a lat/long" situation. The police are fucking worthless for things like this and from what I've heard from friends about their experience with stolen property they are useless on that front as well.

Degradation is less important as range increase. Average 500 mile range * 600 cycles = 300,000 miles.

At 350 watt-hours per kilogram a 200kWh battery is 570 kg + housing so feasible. Using a different battery chemistry for ultra high mileage models is probably a bad idea, but it is an option.

Knowledge of good and evil is a "Good Thing", and one interpretation of the reason God put the tree in reach of Adam and Eve is that he wanted them to eventually partake of its fruit, but they did it early and without whatever other prep was necessary. Think of it as a child slowly learning concepts instead of being immediately presented with complex knowledge and not having the necessary foundation to process it. Not sure about the positive light depiction, but I could see hallucinogenics being viewed as something that expands your knowledge/mind especially since people report out of body experiences when using them.
Lol, thanks for pointing that out. I do agree, I did not read past the thick line at the bottom which explained it all, so much for paying attention to detail.
From a security point of view, if you're using anything before LTE?, the carrier verifies the SIM, but the SIM doesn't verify the network, which means your devices could get tricked into sending through a rogue network that could see your 2fa codes and destinations. Similarly, I don't remember when mobile network cryptography got good, but older networks are definitely eavesdroppable. You don't want your 2FA codes eavesdroppable beyond the minimum footprint for obvious security reasons; carriers visibility is unavoidable with SMS 2FA, but maybe there's a gain with a device you control vs an aggregator (and aggregators commonly use other aggregators for some of their routes), although you really can't know how a carrier delivers messages destined for other carriers.

If you're going to do this, you need to do it as part of a system where you use many providers and monitor success.

If the rate is high, it's almost certainly going to get blocked. But then, it may work better for some destinations than any commercial provider. Or it might continue to work when the commercial providers have outages, or the carriers do maintenance on their external connectors.

Some of the SMS aggregators use regular SIMs to send some messages, or contract with others to do so, it's generally called a grey route. Usually with more specialized equipment and more SIMs, but same basic idea.
I agree on the worth part. I could afford to spend hundreds of euros to go to a nearby country and get an EU-approved vaccine months ago. Overall I estimate those hundreds of euros got me vaccinated about six months earlier than I would be in my own country.

During that time months ago one of our politicians came out and said that thousands of my fellow citizens that did the same were "wasting money on something that only costs €10", but that means nothing when you can't get to that something that only costs €10.

How big of a concern is this? Nowhere I’ve ever worked has been concerned with the ability to swap the database for a completely different one, in the same way they are not concerned with the ability to swap whatever programming language is being used for a different one.

Hi Arnaud. Looking good! Looking at the pricing I don't think it would work for us. While we have 10 engineers, we have many more people who commit very irregularly. Some months we'd certainly go over the "active contributor" limit, but we wouldn't be getting any value out of tracking those additional contributions. Do you have an allow-list of contributors?
