This has been hard for me to share but my experience at Atlassian has been both shocking and nearly broke me.

- Managers pushing people into a "bad performance" year so they can’t leave the team.

- Ridiculing new parents wanting to take parental leave.

- Not open to any sort of feedback. Retaliating.

- Wide spread fear of speaking up.

- Actively position people on grunt work based on visa status, individuals who can’t easily leave.

- Performance improvement feedback unclear and confusing, resulting in unnecessary work and burnout.

- Surprise management and shock firings on a regular basis with no clear learnings.

Consistently ignore this feedback when raised with managers privately. It was not clear to me how I could have raised these issues with the HR department privately.
My biggest issue with Terraform is the impedance mismatch between HCL and the rest of the known universe.

When you write a provider, you spend half your time converting data structures from the HCL submitted to your provider into the JSON your target service inevitably expects, then you spend half your time converting the JSON your target service inevitably returns into HCL for Terraform to consume, and then you spend another half of your time fixing bugs and polishing.

It's okay when you're building simple providers, but anything reasonably complex becomes unwieldy. I had a go at building some providers for AWS services that were not supported by Terraform or CloudFormation... and I just retreated to cheesy Lambda custom resources for CloudFormation.
>>>Studwell notes that when Taiwan was moderately prosperous and dominated by industry half of the workforce could not even read. What really benefited East-Asia was a grey-collar culture, a national, egalitarian educational system and corporatism rather than a white-collar, classist and academic culture more common in say, England.

The rise of industrialization in the states was driven by an educated work force from England that was low on supplies and materials, so they immigrated to the USA which had an abundance of supplies and materials.

When the English workers that were educated in various industrialization techniques setup in the USA, Americans got apprenticeship jobs under the educated English workers and learned.

Your observation about England being white-collar, classist and academic culture may be true to a general extent, but they were the first industrialized nation and then spread that industrialization knowledge through firms, trade, and related institutions. England did not rely on a classist ivory tower culture to operate their industrial sector nor to spread that knowledge.
Yes and no. Yes, property investment and speculation and inflate prices beyond their consumptive utility.

But no in the sense that commercial real estate investors are a small chunk of the global RE market. The vast majority of residential property are owned by the tenants. We have turned housing into the largest retirement fund and don't have a way of undoing that. And we have exacerbated this by deciding to push interests rates artificially low so that all sorts of people who otherwise would be priced out of home ownership, are now part of the demand curve competing against the same supply curve.

I just hope the objective truth prevails whatever it turns out to be, regardless of politics the world needs to know in detail how pandemics can arise if we want to be more effective at preventing them.
“I would like to point out that most of the research, at the same Winnipeg lab discussed above, seems to have been shared with/taken by the Chinese military“

The linked article does not support your assertion that “most” research was shared/taken.
Isn't a chimera akin to putting part of one organism with another? I think this would make the astrazeneca vaccine a chimera (Adenovirus with SARS-COV2 spike protein). Obviously the AZ vaccine has not causes a pandemic so maybe the distinction is very important here.
The blinding happens when drinking some common type of denatured alcohol and the only reason for denatured alcohol to exist is exactly that superstition.
To me the negative aspects of censorship is not exclusive to governments. It is any censorship when it comes from the powerful controlling the powerless in order to maintain that power relationship. Government vs citizen is one form of power relation, but so is dominating market holder vs user. A third is infrastructure vs user.

Apple has decided to hold the power of being the gatekeeper of mobile apps. Every time they utilize that power they demonstrate the power relation that they hold over their captured audience. I could be cheering when I agree with their choice and get upset every time they do something which I disagree with, but in terms of power it the exact same thing. I rather choose to oppose the power itself.
> But I find these movies where the climax is just a bunch of cg puppets punching each other boring and formulaic.

Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade said he liked the first Dr. Strange film because the ending was one in which things weren't resolved where one character punches another in face until submission/death. Dr. Strange negotiates.
> "Why" ultimately doesn't matter because viruses can just spontaneously evolve in carrier animals, in a lab or by whatever other means causes a mutation where it is now infectious to us.

People are going to die in traffic accidents whether i drive home drunk tonight or not, so it probably doesn't matter what I do, right?

Understanding why something happened is also a pretty important step in trying to prevent it from happening again. If you're having production incidents every day, "just get better at incident response" is probably not a very thorough solution.
The nature of the USA is not to have a federal response. A fairer way to review this is at the state level.

That being said, Fauci lead the charge on the AIDS pandemic and this one ...
An alternative opinion: When I worked at a large tech company, my team made a conscious decision to not use terraform. This gave us some key advantages- we are able to adopt new cloud features immediately, months before they were available in tf, and our direct cloud access let us build features that would surprise the teams using tf within the company.

If your core competency isn't dependent on your cloud platform tf is a great tool. But using cloud APIs directly was great for us.
Surely this is true of everybody, including founders. Why do we assume that it is only founders that are providing some creative asset to the company?

I am in agreement with you. I think free markets are the fairest.

But most people conflate "fairness" with some emotional feeling about the outcomes (which of course, has nothing to do with being fair).

But most fight scenes were fake, even before CGI. In fact, almost nobody ever gets hurt on set... and when people do get hurt, its in stunts (not the fight scenes).

The number of "realistic fight scenes" are incredibly slim. Chinese martial arts are mostly Wuxia: a branch of martial arts that was developed for stage performance (flips, spins, etc. etc.) that has very little practical relevance.

"Kung Fu" films (ie: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan) reduce the number of filps... but even then, Jackie Chan's use of hilarious stage props is anything but realistic.

I mean: just imagine "Die Hard", no one can sustain that many injuries realistically and keep going. Its fake action, yes with practical effects / non-CGI (blood packs and stunts), but its still fantasy. And "Princess Bride" duel is fully ridiculous: with more flips and gymnastics than actual fighting (arguably the point: it was a comedy film making fun of tropes).

Anyone who has actually been in a fighting-sport (themselves mostly "fake", as duels took place centuries ago), will instantly recognize the bad form most of these older fight scenes had. Enemies charge the protagonist one at a time (yes: even in "practical" Kung Fu movies with few special effects)

----------

"Fake" is fine. But there's a lack of progression or understanding going on in a lot of the CGI-fight scenes. They're willing to spend tons of money on big explosions or special effects, but they don't always hit home with me.

The famous "Jackie Chan Ladder Fight" is a good example of a ridiculous fight scene, barely plausible. But its highly imaginative and has a great progression and rhythm. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrRFzwPE0d4). I'm not here because I want to watch a realistic 4-person Bo-staff fight vs a single dude with a ladder (which would almost certainly result in the ladder-user in getting beaten up). I'm here to watch crazy stunts and imaginative fights.

The use of music / rhythm (notice how the fight is on beat to the soundtrack) increases the entertainment value. These little things should be easier in CGI, but somehow aren't being done.
I wasn't surprised at all as a ten year old who got a recommendation for gymnasium and who didn't. It is a recommendation by the way, parents can chose to enter their kids in whatever they wish to. This leads to kids with high income / social economic status entering gymnasium and struggling mightily and kids from worker families who might make it not going to gymnasium.
Amazing work! The Dreamcast was and is my favourite console, I still have many great memories from having it all those years ago. So much so that I made this [1] when messing about with D3.js

It's mentioned in the article, but it's great that the emulation of original Xbox games has improved such that many games are now playable. I remember checking back every year to see if I could finally play Jet Set Radio Future (JSRF), and one day eventually being able to get in the game and play! It's hinted in the article but I look forward to the day when JSRF has better emulation. They've done great work to get it this far already!

It's a shame JSRF wasn't re-released on Steam like JSR... also a shame that they couldn't use the original soundtrack when re-releasing Crazy Taxi, so I still prefer to emulate on Dreamcast despite owning it on Steam.

> All of this focus on the point of origin is misplaced. We know that there will be new viruses. What matters is how we respond to them. In this case the US response was completely botched.

It’s worth talking about better versus worse covid response, but that’s missing the forest for the trees. Most of the G7 didn’t do that much better: from Germany to Italy, and including the US, they’re all in the 1,200 to 2,200 deaths per million people range. Countries like Australia that did a little better, down at 700, are still having to have military-enforced lockdowns 18 months into the pandemic.

Is it really possible that none of these advanced economies were adequately prepared? The next time this hits, are we really going to try this massively expensive lockdown approach again? That seems like madness to me.

She said better as Tinder, more transparency and in the worst case still a comfy couch. She met her husband via it.
> "But why does YT get to tut tut anyone?"

because it is a platform they own. I'm not arguing whether that is good or bad but if you run a site you are free to moderate it however you wish. Until YT, FB etc. are classified as public utilities or similar, you have no rights whatsoever to say what you want on someone else's platform.
It looks like a lot of those references are the results of an edit war on the page. The consensus seems to be it was a lab leak (probably).

I mean I guess it's trivial (is it? it used to be) to run regular Linux applications on Chrome, so the fact it shares the kernel is useful, but how many people do that?
We should be talking about Sweden a lot more.
You have these "silent days" in most countries. When we have elections in France, we just look at Belgian or Swiss newspapers to see how the votes are going on. They do not care about these days, only French newspapers and media do.

Twitter does not, Facebook does not, Telegram does not - nobody cares except for France.

How is Russia different?
It's true it's pretty clear the 1977 virus had human involvement though I'd lean towards the vaccine trial explanation. Yeah the origins of covid seem up in the air at the moment.
Why even have live action if the show is going to be mostly CGI anyway? Just make the entire thing animated. I really enjoyed Spiderverse, the Castlevania show on Netflix, and the What If series. Animation seems like the ultimate medium for storytelling and possibly uproots the Hollywood model of top tier casting--voice work seems way easier than acting.
This depends on the priors you assume for future events,

e.g. if one ignores the GoF research and it therefore increases the likelihood of continued research, does that also increase risk of periodic outbreaks akin to this pandemic and a higher frequency than natural outbreaks from animal>human?

This used to be the space that paper magazines handled, and to a limited extent orgs like Consumer Reports still do.

"User" reviews are bullshit, and far too easy to game. And Amazon's system bodges together distinct products, so you can't even tell if you're reading a relevant review of the thing you want to buy or a different model/size/anything.

I sometimes wonder if an independent review site would be a business idea. Crap merchants would avoid it anyway, but anyone with a solid product would get a tear down, lab report, subjective review, and objective performance details, with a couple of follow-up purchases just to check the product hadn't been substituted.

Result would be high-value products standing out from the noise, with some objective reassurance for customers - which is the opposite of the Amazon model.

Can confirm. I've seen C-states absolutely wreck performance on certain low latency workloads. In particular, lots of small random writes on a storage cluster.
I understand the need to understand why but if we can't mount a response to any virus, it again, ultimately doesn't matter.

We've instituted safeguards against car accidents (seatbelts, speed limits, harsh penalties for driving drunk, etc). What have we done for wide-spread, novel disease response?

The social proof that a couch surfing reference brought was second to none. Each one boils down to this "I, a stranger, stayed for a few nights in this other strangers home for free, and they were good human beings". That social proof carried to any part of the globe you visited.

I cannot think of an internet app that brought people together in a more meaningful and wholesome way at scale.

It was great while it lasted.
Why was this flagged so fast? The article doesn't seem to present fake numbers and I was looking forward to having people who live there tell us how people behave over there and what could really be behind their (relative) success.
I find ugly very... subjective. Which DE are we talking about? Windows 10 vs GNOME? I pick GNOME personally, I think it's much easier on the eyes. I don't find Mac OS particularly amazing in comparison either. And even the highly "inflexible" GNOME lets you customize its look a hell of a lot more than Windows or Mac.
On my machine, ctrl-q appears to do nothing.

VAT = Value Added Tax

When the input cost of something increases in the supply chain (prior to sale to consumer), the buyer doesn't pay VAT on the input. So if the input costs $10, and there is s 25% VAT, the buyer pays $12.50, but then gets a credit for the $2.50 VAT they paid.

When the buyer does their thing to add value, and sell to the next person in the chain, they charge VAT on the sale prices. Say the value add is $10, and they sell for $20 + $5 VAT.

When they go to pay VAT to the government their payment is only the difference between the input VAT payment, and the output VAT collected, in this case $5-$2.50=$2.50 goes to government.

If the input goes up to $16, they pay $4 input VAT. If they still add $10, their sale prices is $26, with $6.50 VAT. The amount that goes to the government is $6.50-$4 = $2.50

The VAT doesn't compound.
I’m actually considering just blowing away Windows on my gaming media center and just replacing it with Ubuntu. Most of my games work on proton anyway, anti cheat support is coming (thanks Stram Deck) and I’m just fed up with Microsoft’s constant built-in ads and notifications nagging, constant intrusive updates if I don’t use it for a while and even just the other day my video driver was corrupt and had to do a factory reset reinstall. Tired of the nonsense.

As far as I know the Universities are generally more research focused in comparison the the "Fachhochschulen". However according to [1] there are simply more Fachhochschulen than universities in Germany - obviously this doesn't say anything about their cumulative size in comparison to each other.

Imagine we did have evidence one way or the other, half of people would believe it and the other half wouldn’t due to the stonewalling by various relevant institutions.
That’s true. I don’t remember any other viruses being this contagious for a long time. Avian flu, swine flu, not nearly as contagious as Delta and spreading asymptomatically.

Ebola - not as contagious. Perhaps AIDS was the closest.
Not necessarily. As I understand it, several common viruses cause more serious disease further down the line. Even if you didn't develop warts, you wouldn't want HPV because some strains can develop into cervical cancer, for example.
Currying makes sense if haskell because it’s a curried langage, so you may need the odd uncurry, then curry it back to normal.

In uncurried langages, generic curring has few use cases. Partial application does, and some libraries may want to provide both curried and uncurried versions of some things, but generally “curry” itself is unhelpful.
Hopefully I don't use windows, but it is incredible that it does not piss off more people that you can't use an entire OS just because of a hw module required only for a small feature used by a minority of users. Mostly corporate.

But if you think long term, it makes sense for Microsoft:

They dream about having the same control as apple and Google have on their devices.
The problem is that nothing prevent users to be the master of their machine and doing whatever they want with it.
With the tpm module, they can start to restrict some things to you on your own computer, controlled by the tpm, and as an user you will have not way to do anything about it. Like copy your data to another computer.
That's a good point. Australia has a similar federalist structure as the USA, although we have less than 10 states/territories of any consequence. The COVID response has a been fix of both state and commonwealth (federal). The commonwealth closed the borders, but because health is delegated to states/territories it was up to each state to manage the testing, contact tracing, and lockdown rules. The main issue in Australian politics right now is border closures which have been used by every state to greater or lesser degrees. The commonwealth hates the border closures, but the states, pandering to their state based support, mostly love it (except NSW).
But why can't you just block the offending IPs in iptables?

My router has some SYN flood protection is that useful at all?

High level these kind of attacks must be easily fixable, just remove the offending IPs of the countrys internet for a set amount of time... easy peasy.
That seems pretty easy for a blog:

"If you publish material on the open web, we should be able to collect this by web archiving. Where a publication is made available online and protected by password or login facility, the Library can request access to archive those materials by giving 1 month’s written notice."

So I guess you would just contact and say "please start archiving my site"?
