The thing about Jira is that it provides much more than just tickets. It's really not even bad at what it does as far as user workflows go, it's just really easy to misconfigure due to lackluster administrative tooling.

I work with a Jira instance that has something like 20 years of history and over half a million tickets. Migrating just the tickets and their comments might be possible, but migrating all the other metadata and every service and automation we've integrated into the workflows (some of which we depend on to be able to work at all) would take months of work if a suitable alternative even exists in the first place.

If it were just tickets and some CI integrations, migrating away from Jira would be trivial, but that's not where all the value is.
I'm not sure you understand my point. All the companies this article is talking about are listed and have shareholders. It's not about publicly listed versus anything else, it's about the different results from listed companies with different governance models.

That aside, if I bought a share in every company that was in the S&P 500 in 2013 and tracked their returns to now, only half of those shares would still even be in the S&P 500. The return on those that dropped out of it aren't reflected in the S&P 500 results, but they still matter from the POV of long term shareholder returns. You can't just exclude failing companies from the statistics and pretend that the stats are still valid and everything is rosy in investorland. That's sweeping under the rug on a massive scale.

Anyway investors in index funds aren't owners of the underlying shares and don't have any relationship with those companies. The article is about that notional ownership relationship between shareholders and companies, so index funds just aren't relevant to this discussion even if their performance was relevant (it isn't) or meaningful with respect to individual share ownership (also not).

The article does reference actual long term like for like studies of company performance. I'd love to see the results from updated studies.
What about refusing to submit to unfair laws (civil disobedience)? Tracking down activists can hardly ever be justified.

> I stepped back from a group chat because the fellows in it swore by “Mental Health TikTok,” where therapists give mental health advice. This is concerning to me

What's concerning about this? I don't mean this rhetorically: I'm genuinely curious, as I've heard people say similar things recently.

It seems to me that, like metabolic health, there's a pretty large body of basic mental health advice that's safe and salutary, and that doesn't displace heavy-duty mental Healthcare for those who need it (in the same way that healthy recipe tips don't displace insulin shots).
If expressing a political opinion is all that takes, I don't see any difference between using Proton and Gmail. Of course, they only logged it after the request but they did it.

The cars getting bigger and bulkier are ICE SUVs and trucks largely, things like Cadillacs, Jeeps, fully loaded trucks being used as commuters, etc. Tesla actually started larger with S/X then moved downwards in size/cost towards 3/Y.

That's why I said they had some other reason to think he had cash.

> If he did this (and he may have done) why do you think they would give him his money back?

As the article explained, if he can provide evidence of how he came by the money legally, he gets it back. Otherwise the federal government is breaking the law, no?
Interesting.. That kind of sounds like it would be impossibly expensive for the government as the sea level rises.
Exactly. Our customers do need to authenticate to read anything in our Confluence installation. Ideally there's nothing critical, just stuff which is considered private.

Legally many of our clients require that their data, all of it, secret or not, reside within the EU.

Currently cloud is not so hot, due to Schrems II. During the last six months we migrate a number of customers on-prem, and only one is building out their stuff in AWS.
"argh everything is so broken. I wish someone would come in and just fix this mess"

Is a sentiment that I see the appeal of. But I've been listening to Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, and that's not really how it goes. Shifts in power tend to have a ton of unintended side-effects, and even most of the primary effects end up being unintended ones, for better sometimes but also for worse.

I think it's easy forget just how good we have it with our flawed rule-of-law, when we haven't experienced life without it.
Do you think there can be good authoritarian regimes? Or is democracy the only way?

If you don't mind, what's the high demand skillset?
Yes; why should we give degrees in understanding the parts of philosophy which have been disproven or refuted? The word "mathematics" literally means things which humans must teach each other. Mathematics is philosophy, but with proofs.

Look at ethics for an example. Mathematics is the venue for arguing against utilitarianism. Putting those together with category theory, we get a mathematical explanation for why pragmatic ethics is preferable to utilitarian ethics.

What do you think the word democracy means? None of that is incompatible with being a democracy.

That's not a defense of those actions, but there's an incredibly bizarre trend these days to act as if words don't have any actual meaning beyond their mood affiliation. Just pick a word from a vaguely-related grab bag ("living wage", "misinformation", "democratic", white supremacy ") and hurl it blindly at the conversation and you get all the retweets you want.
That magically coincided with the a huge government program to pay people only if they decline to work? That other countries without similar programs are not seeing?

The examples they give are insane. People were paid $15/hr to not work, so of course they were demanding $20/hr to work.

This program was the most bipartisan predictably bad program ever created, and almost certainly created more economic damage than the disease.

I'd imagine it varies a lot by company.

I, or somebody else on our team, look at every single CV/resume that comes in, regardless of whether or not the HR team have looked at them.

We also aim to respond to every single applicant (i.e., beyond the initial automated acknowledgement), even if it's a straight no thanks. Every now and again somebody will slip through the net, but that's a mistake rather than the norm.

Lots of companies don't do either of those things. In their defense they probably get a lot more applicants for their roles, which makes it harder to keep on top of. Still, with half-decent modern ATSs it's generally pretty easy to quickly review and either reject or progress applicants, so it is infuriating if you apply for a job and just hear... nothing.

Another thing we do that a lot of companies don't is give feedback for applicants we've interviewed who haven't been successful. You know, sometimes it's the case that someone was decent and there wasn't anything specifically wrong, it's just that we spoke to someone else with more experience, or more relevant experience, so they didn't get the job, but we do try to give (hopefully) helpful feedback to rejected applicants as often as we can.

Occasionally that bites us in the ass because somebody will argue with the feedback, but not often enough that I'd want to stop doing it. The point I always try to remind people of is that they're never interviewing in a vacuum: we always have a cohort of applicants to consider so, whilst you might disagree with us that X is where you fell down in the interview, we're seeing that in the context of talking to half a dozen others about X, and how they performed, as well.
As a non-US person, am curious about the use of the word "veteran" in the headline.

What would be different about "Nevada cops use civil forfeiture to steal a person's life savings" or "Nevada cops use civil forfeiture to steal a citizen's life savings" ?

I understand that there is some veneration of veterans, but don't all citizens have the same rights?

The Veteran never learned: Don't talk to the cops. "Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" Is all he needs to say.

I come from a pretty poor country. When I was a student I would fly Ryanair because otherwise I would just not fly. Ryanair provided me with a service that would otherwise be not available to me at all if it was not making be nervous.

So it provides services to a bunch of poor people who are probably _used_ to being nervous anyway in other situations.

Good article, but very Japanese centered. This of course is understandable, as it is coming from Nikkei.

There has been a lot of news about how the US is giving up leadership in semiconductors to Asia, but the US has actually been holding our own in Silicon Carbide. A US company called Cree, through their division Wolfspeed is the leader in manufacturing silicon carbide wafers. AFAIK, they are still making the most wafers in the world.

There is another little known US company, ON semiconductor, that is arguably the leader in auto grade silicon carbide chips. They were not the first to make the sic mosfet, but they were the first to make sic mosfets that are qualified for use in cars. On Semi had acquired the legendary Fairchild semiconductor which had a lot of expertise in high voltage high power applications for auto and industrial. This probably helped commercialize silicon carbide.

This is arguable of course, but ON semiconductor insist that they make the highest performance automobile grade SiC chips on the market.

To see how fast this technology is moving, you can watch this video [1] where sandy munro needs a helper to wrestle with the ford mach-e inverter on a table. And then you can see this video [2] where the CEO of ON semi, holds two inverters for a car and an suv in each hand effortlessly.

There can be interesting impacts on orbiting satellites - mostly gravity irregularities just add stationkeeping work, but they can sometime be leveraged to alter a satellite’s orbital inclination (a plane change).
For Lunar orbit they’re even more of a consideration, in addition to Earth’s gravity effect on lunar satellites.

The Crazy Robot’s Rebellion (2011)
Refuse to comply with unfair laws? That's precisely what those activists that Protonmail ratted on were doing, and that's precisely what Protonmail should have done.

It's funny how some fancy cryptographers from their ivory towers will stand for privacy rights... as long as they don't actually take any risks for themselves. Unlike the actual activists who were house searched and arrested and now risk jail time for an arguably-noble cause, it's not like security researchers actually risk anything beyond a few fines (which they could crowdfund for) if they don't comply with law enforcement.
Vendors can be as protective as they want, they can't go against the law of the land.
No, because ignoring theft leads to theft becoming rampant. But the last time I reported someone stealing $50 using fradulent direct debit, the reaction from the police was pretty much that it wasn't worth investigating. Obviously I got the money back from the bank, but not investigating things that are too small seems like a routine occurrence.
So if I win big at a Nevada casino should I immediately buy a Rolex or two?
I suspect we're limited more by communications capability then anything else: pretty much a hand-held radio will reach up to LEO if someone's listening (short-wave definitely does and that's off-the-shelf at consumer prices pretty much).

Whereas Mars requires the Deep Space Network to reasonably be able to maintain communications - so your very cheap probes still need super-highgrade radios to be useful (the landers for example still generally pack an antenna that can reach all the way back to Earth even when they use uplinks - the helicopter is relaying via the lander).

What we're missing on Mars is reliable communications for probes: there's no common backhaul to Earth that you can just hook into. But I'd be willing to bet that's coming: if Starlink works on Earth, there's no real reason it shouldn't work on Mars. At which point you can go with the "swarm of cheap hardware" idea because it can hand off the need for the power, hardware and logistics and backing to communicate inter-planetary.
How to Learn About Cryptography

A former Rally engineer once told me, "Rally did a better job than Atlassian at making engineers think positive thoughts about Jira."

That said, I can't think of a single feature Atlassian released in the past several years that made the experience of using Jira or Confluence substantially better. (I could at least say markdown support if that was ever ported to Jira Data Center.)

The argument for software subscriptions is that it funds continuous improvement, but most of the top complaints from 2011 are just as relevant in 2021.

I would challenge you to find a jurisdiction where the government doesn't reserve the power to compel people to do things, or where that power exists but is never used in a way that permits criticism.

I don't know the details of Swiss law, and I don't know the details of this particular case or what real or purported crimes they're investigating. It's entirely possible that this is an overzealous application of state power.

But, even if we accept for the sake of argument that this is a government overreach, I would still suggest that harsh criticism of ProtonMail is misdirected. Switzerland may not be perfect, but we shouldn't expect them to be perfect. Life is messy, there are no utopias, and humanity has yet to find a way to structure civil society in a way that comes even close to achieving perfect justice. I would guess, though, that, for all the country's doubtlessly countless shortcomings, when it comes to quality of checks and balances in legal investigations, a company based in Switzerland doesn't really have anywhere to go but down.

I lived there for 5 years. Before that I was in Manhattan for 11. Sorry but San Francisco is a dump, really dirty. I would never move there again. Constant harassment by the homeless, violent crime everywhere.

I was assaulted at 2PM on a bus downtown. A homeless guy took a full 40oz bottle of beer and broke it over the back of my head with no warning. I wasn’t even looking at him. Apparently he was paranoid and thought I was following him. The bus driver and passengers just stared at me and did nothing. The nut walked off. My hands are covered in blood but I manage to call the police and an ambulance- and neither showed up! I walked dizzy and lightheaded to my office nearby and one of my coworkers got me an Uber to the hospital. One story of many actually. I’ve seen shootings and a stabbing and an overdose from fentanyl. Three people I knew died.

And the crowd, well of the professionals about 1/3 are the real deal, 1/3 are simply imposters as in sociopaths totally faking their skillset, and the final 1/3 are genuinely insane.

If you can afford San Francisco rent then go to Manhattan. Seriously SF is a huge mistake.

The new word is "deadass", and the problem is solved.
The incentives are aligned for cops to ask the question as much as possible–if their local department gets to keep a good chunk of the seized money, that’s more in the bank to pay for all sorts of stuff, including additional overtime hours aka money directly in the officers pockets.
The kind of people that enjoy tinkering with new languages are not so common - and usually they enjoy writing their own language instead of looking at existing ones.

Unless you have a lot of users, with something really novel/special it is unlikely you'll get many people helping.

Your repository mentions "similar to C", but I see python-like indentation. Which makes me wonder what you're actually aiming for?

Once you have the core of the language the usual stumbling block is getting libraries available for HTTP fetching, database access, etc, etc. Do you have an idea of the kind of things that your language will be used for?

The more you document, and writeout there more likely it is you'll find people interested in what you're doing, but without that it'll almost certainly just be "your" project. (And there's no shame in that, or harm in it either.)
