> and can carry more ordinance

I think one of the reasons it is easy to make this mistake is that most seem to mispronounce ordnance in that they add a superfluous syllable. Ordinance has three syllables, while ordnance only has two. Hope that helps.

"Paradox: A person, thing, or situation that exhibits inexplicable or contradictory aspects". Depending on how you view it, they are the same person or they aren't the same person, which seems like a situation exhibiting contradictory aspects.

Very few people habitually think in the way "you went on a 12 hour flight, you are older, more radiation damaged, have different memories than before you set off, so you are a different person". Many people think "you went on a 6 month expedition, you had mind opening experiences, it made you a different person", but don't go on to conclude "therefore you no longer have rights to the original person's bank account and posessions and citizenship".

You obviously talk to them first.

Rejecting a promotion can be seen as bad in toxic places or for junior engineers, but I actually like hearing this from my reports because it means that I don't need to make changes to accommodate their growth.
I personally don't like her, but it's besides the point. There isn't much that I can do. Am I going to anonymously dm her and talk shit?
Yes, it actually does, because the value of his compensation, 98% or so of which is in stock, would be worth over 10 times less right now if it were not for Tim Cook's performance as CEO. That makes a rather big difference, in my view.

It also changes the argument meaningfully in a second way: liquidity. Tim Cook can't just go sell all that stock right now, since that would cause a rather big panic and also rob him of a lot of its value. Which means he could not actually pay all those folks' salaries.

Whether my point is "interesting" is up to you. Whether it's factual isn't. It's factual.

There's a lot of loose talk about AI-driven warfare and how terrible it will make conflict. Much of it is written by people who don't understand how destructive modern weapons are.

This, however, looks like a sea change, especially as AI driven weapons decrease in size. It's easy to picture them being delivered by drone for attacks weeks or months later.
The 2nd point is really important for me. It took me a while to take control over certain resources and to stop asking for permission all the time.

Having the power to just do things is the trade-off you make when giving up some of your code time. I haven't asked for permission to do a thing in a long time.

None of this is to say you shouldn't plan and work with the team, but when it's clear you need a new developer PC or a cloud resource, just go pay for the damn thing and get it dealt with.

Time is money and being sensitive to this reality can make all the difference in the universe. A secondary thing to think about is "Can I undo this action?". 99% of the time in technology - the answer is "Yes". Realizing this, I try to empower others in the same way I have empowered myself.
Yes, that's where I got the idea. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons it wouldn't work when attempted in a real world culture, let alone the resistance from getting laws about it passed.

Such lovely and fun ideas in that trilogy! Second IMHO only to the Culture novels in terms of semi-realistic deep social world building.

GOs are marketing gimmicks, nothing more. Norway only exports the energy that it doesn't use domestically. Germany is still the one producing the dirty energy, and that's what really counts at the end of the day. --The absurdity of GOs are only highlighted by Iceland selling GOs even though Iceland is obviously not actually exporting the energy.
You get the best of both worlds with housing cooperatives, where the tenants are also collective owners of the units. Those are pretty common in Berlin and the rest of Germany (at least Eastern Germany).

You have a large enterprise giving tenants the advantages you described, while also removing the incentive to rise rents on every possible occasion.

I had to read this a few times to be sure this really was the point you were trying to make.

In practice it isn't supposed to be like this. You should be working with your manager over 2 to 8 quarters or more to plan the promotion. The promotion will be won from a committee by your manager. The expectations should be clear.
totally understand the sentiment and all the frustration but...

the only thing backing the argument for less restrictions is a 2006 comment from the world health organization (that i can't access from the article) saying travel restrictions and screening at borders were ineffective.

well, lately we saw many prominent health experts and scientists often change their mind and remind us that that's what the scientific method or process is all about.

i am curious to see what whoever at WHO wrote or said the above think about it 15 years later.
I'm working in a company with 20+ years of the legacy code base. We have a custom search engine fully optimized for our purposes. Decades were spent writing this code. It supports all the newest Linux kernel technologies. The codebase is really good. But every year a new inter tries to show that open source solutions are more reliable and faster. They don't try to write code in 1 hr of course. They spend 10 days on average to show proof of concept that is really fast for benchmarking, but it fails when we try to load testing data. I don't know why people think that nobody checked other solutions before them.
This is in the US where we aren’t burdened with inefficient, government-controlled health care. /s
I know what a paradox is, and your application falls quite a bit short from the very definition you give. 'Depending on how you view it', a rainbow could be caused by light refraction or by a farting unicorn. This statement doesn't make a rainbow a 'paradox', there is nothing inexplicable about it.
If someone need my suggestion, here is what you do - try doing different sort of questions (multiple topics too) on leetcode from different topics may be just 20-30 in language you want to learn.

Its different way but you will learn a lot of new libraries, ways to mutate objects, lists, all sort of data structures and new things really really fast.
Not sure I follow the logic, he got fired for trying. Simple solution is don't try, no?

Ultimately you will lose in either situation, but one solution prolongs the paychecks.
I never thought about reviewing existing open source project PRs to get better at a language. It seems so obvious considering it's similar to how I get ramped up with new projects.

> 2. When you want to level up, start reading the diff, and review the code and changes yourself before reading the comments.

> 3. Finally, when you start feeling more confident, start leaving those comments on new PRs so that the maintainer doesn’t have to. You’re starting to contribute to open source!

The steps from two to three are pretty dramatic, I personally would replace step 3 with tackling an open issue related to code you reviewed before. I feel like to give feedback on a PR you need to be intimately familiar with the code, something you get from writing and/or making changes to it.

Ask HN: What point you keep while designing a website for MVP?
Yes but there are 2 main types of demand in there. Demand coming from institutional and extremely wealthy investors and demand from regular folks. Who do you think is more likely to be the responsible for such an increase in price?

So i disagree with the solution you propose. The better solution is to reduce the type of demand that is responsible for this failure in housing prices.

That's pretty cool, anime seems to be the perfect material for doing that upscaling on. I tried the upscaling stuff newer video games have implemented and the real-time version of it can sometimes be glitchy.

I'll be happy to see higher res versions of digital stuff even if it means AI upscaling but as someone who loves messing around with photo and video gear for fun I will never not find film endlessly fascinating. Somehow the fact that that they had to do all effects practically meanwhile they had the technology to film it that was so detailed that it's still up to our current resolution standards is amazing to me.
Could the fact Norway's oil is offshore be a big part of this difference?

Only the best prepared attackers can wrestle control of those oilfields from the government and their delegates.

Whereas if oil is over land, all it takes is a few determined people to shut down production for weeks.

This is well-stated, except one nuance: software is itself scalable, so small software teams can out perform large software teams if they can keep the requirements under control.

> A software engineer allowed to deep dive on a stream of tickets/tasks while being defended from non-software related issues by a manager is by far more efficient than one given the responsibility of "ownership."

This works if ownership boundaries are clear and unambiguous, however defining these boundaries involves many tradeoffs which may be judged incorrectly or shift over time. If so you may hear management start talking about "breaking down silos" and ICs enter a kafkaesque knightmare as the structure chokes on the communication overflow as no one is able to get the support from colleagues to get their own issues done because they are all assigned ownership of different issues.

Overall I think we need to be careful about naively optimizing for scalability and efficiency without first identifying the goal. Just as you probably wouldn't want Rickover designing enterprise software, you also don't want an OKR-toting MBA to be responsible for designing a nuclear submarine.
Not only logged, but potentially subpoenable in lawsuits. Any reasonably large company usually ends up with the occasional lawsuit from some mentally ill querulant who feels wronged for whatever reason, and in one of those cases, at a past employer, we ended up blowing off steam by joking about the letters from their ‘lawyer’ (i.e. almost certainly themselves). We were fed up after having to gather vast amounts of data, which they demanded just to make things difficult for us.

And then, as I should have foreseen, they demanded all communications within the company relating to their lawsuit. I’m not a lawyer, but, for whatever reason, our lawyers considered it to be within their rights; I’m sure it wouldn’t have applied to privileged legal discussions, but we were just code monkeys so I suppose our chat logs were fair game. I’m never doing that again. I don’t think their lawsuit went anywhere, but it was mortifying all the same, especially considering our brand was quite a friendly and liberal one.

The sun.

Black is both best radiator and best absorber. So it works perfectly in space (where you minimize incoming energy by turning it perpendicular to sun), and not so good on surface.

This material works by being reflective in spectrum, where most of sunlight energy is (which makes it white, as visible spectrum ~= sunlight on earth surface), and being 'black' (good radiator and absorber) in other spectra.

You don't have to attack cloud infra with actual code. You bribe company employees, either of the target company or one that creates systems for them/has access. Or simply scam 1 employee and use your RAT to later infiltrate. Scammers have been going pro and due to the many ridiculous policies of companies are not diffable from real emails/calls. It's easier and more effective, and it gets swept under the rug because closed source gets no public view and companies don't like revealing every time a employee falls for a scam.
If you're of the opinion there is absolutely no possibility we'd ever have to fight a peer/+ adversary, then your position makes sense.

But nobody serious responsible for managing our defence thinks that. Hence why the capability needs to be upgraded.
First, the author writes as if shell servers with multiple people don't exist. Please see, for example, https://sdf.org/

Second, if you're going to exclude every server on which anyone else has root, you're essentially excluding all hosting (except colocation), since essentially that means all computers you don't physically manage.

There are many scenarios where a physically local computer is only trustworthy for the moment, and where this could change at any time. Windows computers, for instance, aren't trustworthy in the long term. Work computers may have nefarious software on them. Computers which are shared with multiple people (think of a family) may have users who aren't as careful.

A shell on a trustworthy provider such as SDF may be safer as a place to store keys and from which to run ssh-agent, so this scenario shouldn't be discounted.

Of course, this means nothing if your access to your shell on a trustworthy server is compromised, but wholesale discounting this is not helping people.
> Norway was (by their own account) a country of scattered fishing villages.

By whose account, again? I grew up in Norway just before the oil boom started, and I never thought of the country that way. We had lumber, we had cheap hydroelectric power that we used to process aluminium and make fertiliser, and we were practically a global superpower in terms of ocean shipping. True, we weren’t rich in the way we are now, far from it – but weren’t that poor either.

A big part of our success as an oil producing nation is that we weren’t simply letting the (mostly) American oil producers just come in and do as they pleased; instead, we insisted on building our own expertise and running the business on our own terms. We hit many snags along the way, but it has paid off in the long run.
I've only done a few leet code questions but only in languages that I'm comfortable with. Even then, I've had similar experiences to the author mentions where I've gotten different perspective on how to approach certain problems.

Let me give you an exercise in thought so you can see that just simplifying it into "dEmAnD vs SupPly pRobLem" is incredibly misleading.

Imagine there is one person that owns 99% of the worlds wealth. Now, is there demand for housing? You bet. That guy wants to buy all the houses he can. If they build more, he will buy them too. No matter how much supply you offer, the demand will be there. He will buy anything. Now replace wealthy guy by corporations, REITs and wealthy people (who would own not 99% but ~90% of the world's wealth) and entertain me how increasing supply fixes anything.
cute cats but this is kinda confusing
That’s my experience in the US cities I’ve lived in — NYC and Denver. As discussed in another comment, the truth of the matter is probably closer to “neither private owners nor coporations are universally good or bad.”
If you want safe code you have to write safe code. Putting it into a sandbox gives you fake security.
The question then is why are you "actually you" whereas the other people "only THINK they're you (but really aren't)"?

They look the same, have the same fingerprint, have the same genetics, the same behaviour, the same memories, they all remember being the original and stepping into the copy machine. Your distinction that you are more special and more genueinly "you" than "they" are has no basis to it. Yes it very much does imply that you're the one to enjoy the memories, because you are the memories. without any telepathy or soul transference, but because the copies are you.
TI built a ton of them and closed them out at fire-sale prices, and they mostly went into people's closets. It was hard to do much with a base model but play its not-so-great cartridge games so it has few fans.

The fanatics though - there's really cool stuff people do. I think you could cheaply upgrade the memory to 16-bit wide, for example.

Let’s talk about founder compensation
I know about it as much as you do. If you're saying that knowing a subject is reading about it on the news, especially when it involves a country that is famous for lack of transparency, and a lot of the news can't be confirmed, then you and I are very knowledgable on a lot of subjects.

Scroll in this thead to find a comment of mine mocking CCP's Long March.

I consider it a contained issue of China and not high on the list of international interests. I also consider Australia's treatment of the indigenous that too, do you want to talk about that?

Let me make myself clear. Unlike you who reduce nations to a single thing and categorise them as good and evil, like a retard (China: lack of human rights, US: war mongering, UK: the Queen, Australia: Emus vs Roos), I understand that countries have good and bad and it's better to criticise their behaviors instead, and do it in a way that is relevant to the problem at hand.

The tension between China and Australia went way back before all the allegation of treatment to minorities. Unfair trade is the core of that. So I suggest addressing it, instead of partaking in the military tension leading up to cold war 2.0. It is a very childish thing to do if you value peace and collaboration, not just for the 2 countries but everyone else in the region who would be dragged into this show.
By all means make snarky remarks instead of actual arguments. I hope you're not from the US, or the hypocrisy would be tangible.

In any case, if we stopped exporting oil products now, the only real effect would be that supply goes down, driving prices up for Qatar, the US, Russia and other major exporters -- who each have significantly higher emissions (per capita) than Norway. Instead we are spending money on finding ways to decrease demand, to make the step away from petroleum globally. If you ask me, that's a far better, and more realistic, solution.
