In addition, in three of the Big Tech SV companies I’ve worked for, the leave process isn’t even handled in-house. They contract a 3rd party who tells the company “yes this person is going on valid medical leave, expected return date mm/dd/yy” and they handle getting doctor’s notes and so forth. It is surprisingly private and straightforward.
Retail last mile by rail is impractical, but you can have industrial last mile by rail. If you're in the Bay Area, and ride CalTrain, you can see all sorts of junctions where they used to do last mile by rail to some facilities. Of course, those rails are hard to use now, what with the fences over them, but it's possible to make this work for industry (generally by locating industrial facilities where rail access is easier).

Then there are cases like this, one example among many in which there is a genuine case to be made for bitcoin and crypto. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28453256.
This is not to mention all the others that are possible and have been the case. For example, how do you think Sci-hub continues to function financially?. Regardless of how certain whales and other speculators use bitcoin et al to pump and dump, or how criminals use them to get and launder money, these negative things are secondary to two basic points that deserve much more respect than they often get:

1. At least so far, Bitcoin and the rest do indeed let you and anyone send or receive money regardless of what political institution, corrupt government or censorious, politically pressured private company prohibits or selectively permits (think Visa/mastercard/paypal and their bullshit arbitrary restrictions on all kinds of things they or some politician decided to call "immoral")

2. Anybody can access the BTC blockchain and most other blockchains with minimal cost, extremely minor technical knowledge that they could easily pick up, and use them for money transfers. Playing along with the pump and dump bullshit or falling victim the bubbles is strictly optional.

In these things, it is indeed revolutionary in a quiet but important way, and I have a hard time understanding the sheer amount of snarky, hateful commentary from so many people on this site. Where the goddam fuck did the scrappy, freedom-loving respect for technologies that help individuals avoid arbitrary rules go?

I think you are reading their marketing speak too charitably by assuming it contains "fine technical details". They purpousefully renamed everything to "Docker" to get people think that the desktop virtual machine offering is the same thing and this caused a lot of confusion.

At some level of detail you're right of course but I feel completely safe ignoring all that when we're talking about someone being paid $25/hr. It's objectively low. Is the employer paying the drivers' rent?
I think that ext.db stuff is just a wrapper around Cloud Datastore. As for the task queues, they are almost identical - see Google Cloud Tasks (https://cloud.google.com/tasks). You might be thinking of google cloud pub/sub as the completely different one.

The way we did the migration was to first move our application code to use the first class google cloud APIs and not rely on any GAE standard libs. Once we got to that point we moved our application code to GKE. Not trying to make it sound easy, it was kind of a pain.
I honestly don't know, but at some water depth you have to start worrying more about water intrusion inside of the vehicle. 42" is high enough that the battery pack on the Rivian would have to be wet, if not entirely submerged. (Max ground clearance is something like 15", so I'm going with "entirely submerged"). I don't think they'd be citing a 42" fording depth if it was prone to fiery battery destruction when hitting that much water. Would be a bit of a PR problem.

On a gas/diesel vehicle, if you're using a snorkel, we're talking about depths where the 12v battery is fully submerged, and apparently it doesn't short out, which is, again presumably, the same situation here.

Again, at some point, on a modern vehicle, gas/diesel/electric, you have to start worrying about floating/lack of grip, water intrusion to the cabin, filling up the HVAC system, messing with various electronic components inside the vehicle. Computers, screens, wiring harnesses, heated seats.

Just from reasoning it out, at a 42" ford depth, I don't have a reason to think it would fare worse than any other modern fossil fuel vehicle, even if said vehicle was equipped with an intake snorkel above the waterline.

I just don't get the knee-jerk assumption that somehow it's EV-ness will make it most likely worse than a gas/diesel truck, when the very thing you're doubting is (apparently) a marketing bragpoint for Rivian. Again, this is all to take their marketing material as gospel, I recognize that.

Have you been scammed with your bitcoin or cryptocurrency? Are you trying to get back your money lost to binary options scam? Forex scam? or bitcoin scam? I never knew it was possible to get back lost bitcoin from scammer until i got mine back. Stolen bitcoin can be traced and recovered: You would be surprised how often you are actually able to trace bitcoin through Forensic techniques to exchanges and other points of intersection where KYC is conducted, where assets are exchanged for other type of assets. $112,127 was stolen from my blockchain, my hard earned money, so many horrible thoughts came flashing through my mind like committing suicide, i posted it online and i was contacted by a recovery expert from Paramount Forensic Intelligence, he said they could help me, at first i was skeptical about it because i just lost some money and here is a total stranger telling me i have to pay upfront for his services, it was one of the hardest decisions i've ever had to make and thank God i did and it paid off. Today i'm back to life , all you need do is provide evidence of your loss and send it to Paramount Forensic Intelligence via email reclaimcryptoguru@engineer.com you can't do it yourself because blockchain and most crypto networks are complex and even miners can't reverse transactions that have been processed.

While there's clearly stories of abusive amzn practices, this makes the entire piece seem very entitled. If a person can't do the work they were hired for, they don't usually get paid. That's why there's FLMA, disability insurance, and vacations.

Right, the point I was arguing in my top-level comment is that that tradition is misguided and should be done away with. Including in mailing lists and commit messages.

The place where it "makes sense" to have a line break in prose is a function of the reader's desired line width, which is not only unknown to the author at the time of writing, but also varies from reader to reader. If you don't insert semantically insignificant newline characters, any modern application for reading text can soft-wrap long lines to that width. But because arbitrarily inserting newline characters destroys information, the opposite isn't true. If you add \ns to break your lines at 80 characters and I try to read your text in a 60-character-wide terminal, I'll get alternating line widths of ~60 characters and ~20 characters. And I can't just replace all the newline characters at position ~80 with spaces and re-wrap the resulting text myself, because for all I know one of those line breaks could have been semantically significant.

Line breaks in code are pretty much always semantically significant to the human reader even if they're not semantically significant to the compiler because the relative vertical and horizontal alignment of non-whitespace characters is fixed and intentional. If you resize your browser window or zoom in or out so that the line wrapping in this comment occurs at different places in the text, the readability and meaning of this text is essentially unchanged. That's not generally true of code - even in languages whose compilers ignore whitespace, arbitrarily shifting, adding, and deleting line breaks doesn't preserve meaning (to humans) because programmers generally use whitespace methodically for the sake of clarity and readability.

Painting the history as "CO2 emissions or Nuclear" is misleading though.

If the public money sunk into nuclear (in form of industry subsidies, and military & other national research programs) had been directed to renewables since the 40's, we would have most of today's wind, solar and energy storage tech decades earlier. So in that way nuclear had a severe opportunity cost, especially from today's perspective when we see that it's going to lose out to renewables.

(And of course CO2 emissions could have been reduced decades ago, when we noticed the problem, by capping fossil fuel use without replacement energy sources, since the majority of energy use is non-essential and starting early would have made the transition slow and smooth)
> but it's publishers who pay developers, and it's often developers who seek to find themselves in the role of publisher, building their walled gardens, through their startups. Similarly, both publisher and developer are active roles, whereas user and consumer are passive--they exist as largely distinct roles with one primarily existing to enrich the other in exchange for entertainment.

There's no nuance here. You're defining "active" and "passive" as two sides of a binary; one can only be active or passive. See, in my daily life I do several things, like using running water, that I am only partially active in. I can choose when to run the water, but the infrastructure and construction of the apparatus under my control was built by someone other than me. So is this active or passive? Does my relationship to running water need to change if I'm happy with it? Why? Can we define "passive" in a philosophically consistent way?

> The original promise was in many ways overly simplistic. For one thing, scientists (e.g. CERN scientists) were much better positioned to acquire and utilize certain technical skills as an ancillary part of their job. But the ultimate belief was that by eliding the distinction between publisher and consumer, the erstwhile consumers would be empowered and the erstwhile publishers disempowered. The concern was, as it remains today, about relative control over both the media and the message.

I think this was one of many messages floating around on the early net and web, and you've made a nostalgia-oriented strawman around it. The ideology itself seems so simplistic as to not stand the test of a basic philosophy course. If people could be neatly slotted into "producers" and "consumers" the world would be a very easily legible place, but it's not.

> Rather, those systems are optimized for a network where media platforms push out highly sophisticated content and users are still largely passive consumers notwithstanding the interactive, social aspect.

Again what does it mean to be "active", what does it mean to be "passive", why is there a dichotomy, and why is it bad to be "passive"? The terms you use seem to have an implicit moral philosophy/valence to it, but I'm not sure why. Under what ethical framework is "passive" bad and "active" good? There's the reality of Gemini to confront as well that this world full of "active" people only produce canned, specific, largely similar content that is only read by other "active" people; the world of "passive" people outside publish and consume media much more diverse and rich on a multitude of platforms that are full of your "largely passive consumers".

To tie this back into the protocol itself, is Gemini then a form of religion or philosophy? Because much like people appreciate not being prosletyzed to by religious figures, people also appreciate not being prosletyzed about technical religion as well, and _no_ Gemini advocate ever mentions how there is mostly a religious belief underpinning Gemini rather than a practical one oriented around the goals in the top pages. (I say this as someone who has written apps and pages on Gemini.)

I am perfectly content with how things are now.

I'm still grateful for Youtube and Deezer (I hate Spotify's UX so I'm never there) for providing me access to music I wouldn't necessarily collect, but I'm now also not at will of some radio DJ when I want that kind of ephemeral music in my life.

If your threat model involves me running somewhere custom code on your machine, but then me not being fast enough to grab argv, you may want to adjust your threat model. Because if I can't under those conditions (even just using shell shit, never mind some really tight c code, or something that hooks into the kernel), someone else can. What a seasoned security person will lean on here is threat models and level of access, but importantly, if I'm already running custom code on your machine as an attacker DO NOT assume I can't get at your argv.

> I would posit that very little greenfield development is happening in Pascal

This is a very good example of the importance of the power of branding - Pascal has actually continued to evolve over the past 50+ years, and even has a few ISO standards, but most don't know about it because of the name changes:

Pascal -> Clascal (Pascal with object oriented extensions) -> Object Pascal (more OOP extensions)

Clascal and Object Pascal were developed in consultation with the original developer of Pascal, Niklaus Emil Wirth, and Object Pascal enjoyed considerable commercial success with Apple, Microsoft and Borland. Niklaus Wirth however has a bad habit of changing the name of every evolution of Pascal he himself works on, and so we have:

Pascal -> Modula / Modula 2 -> Oberon (with extensions we also have Oberon 02 and Active Oberon)

Oberon is powerful even for system programming, and the creator himself used it to create a new OS with same name as the programming language (yet again showcasing that he has no concept of branding and marketing) - http://www.projectoberon.com/ .
The 4th Power Rule tells us that they are all doing bonkers amount of damage to roads. It's especially terrible considering very few truck owners actually use them for anything more than single-user commutes.

Except that mm is already used by a number of industries and people to mean million.

What you did was quote from the first result of a google search without attribution and then pretend the quote means the opposite of what was written. See: https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/ot...

Your quote left out the first part, which is italicized in the full quote below:

In finance and accounting, MM (or lowercase “mm”) denotes that the units of figures presented are in millions. The Latin numeral M denotes thousands. Thus, MM is the same as writing “M multiplied by M,” which is equal to “1,000 times 1,000”, which equals 1,000,000 (one million).
