My view is that Xi Jinping is basically practicing the classic technique of re-interpreting accepted texts to mean what you want, as a way of making your point while appearing to 'stay the course'. I think Strauss described and practiced this very well in "Persecution and the Art of Writing".[1]

Do you have any issues with spam being sent to whatever_random_user@yourdomain.tld ?

This concern has been my #1 reason for not doing the same setup. Basically a fear of a never-ending list of random addresses to blacklist, which won’t have any meaningful effect because the next spammer will just use a different random value.

One of the things I do to get Amazon recruiters to leave me the hell alone is to respond to their emails with a link to the most recent public AMZN snafu and urge them to quit - it's funny/sad how each time I respond I can quickly find 3-5 new links no more than a few months old.
I agree that modern OBS is pretty good for screen captures, even if you don't need to stream. You can record 4k60 without too much overhead on modern systems directly into a .mp4 which plays nicely with other software/services without an extra conversion from a proprietary format. On macOS at least, recording with OBS is substantially better than working with expensive video recording software like ScreenFlow.

The weakness with this workflow is that OBS only allows saving one video at a time, which may be an issue if you want to composite video/mix audio better in post-production (e.g. computer screen recording + webcam + secondary screen recording such as iOS), although you can record audio in separate tracks. Of course you can run multiple instances of OBS simultaneously in this use case and save them together.
Indeed. Amsterdam has a fast line to Brussels and from there to Paris now (though a lot of the Belgian track is slow especially around/through the cities). But it's mainly been a huge money sink. It cost billions more than expected, the more local semi-highspeed trains (Fyra) that were purchased were dropping parts on the track and had to be banned.

So now the fast track is used once per hour for a TGV (Thalys). Besides that it's used by the same slow trains that used the regular track before, because nobody wants to invest in another fast train since the Fyra disaster.

It's been a huge failure.
But our General Milley is apparently in good terms with Chinese military assuring them that he will give them advance warning of any impending US attack on China. Then why spend on middle defense if you are going to warn the enemy of an impending attack.

“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

Not really, compensation is off the charts right now.

I don't think it's possible for a country of the size of the US to have decent missile defense.

Israel has it for certain areas of high population density, not for the whole country. But that is also against relatively low-range missiles, not ICMBs, I believe.

Frankly, you are full of it. Your personal experience with employers don't mean much in forum where almost everyone is employed. There is nothing special about having experience with employers.

Given how you write about being employed, it is safe to say you don't mind twisting situation. You also try to argue by implying insults, which is not convincing. It just seeks emotional response.

You constantly repeat this lie, but that doesn't change it from being a lie.

I am Canadian, and live and went to school including University for my entire life in Alberta. No I did not ever need to show proof of immunizations. And even in places where public schools did request that proof you could simply opt out with any religious exemption. These exemptions were never "verified" and there was never consequences such as multiple weekly tests like we have now.

Stop spreading this completely false lie. We have never had a system of vaccine passports.

Nice. I worked on something similar but far less robust: https://github.com/eihli/image-table-ocr. It fails to find the tables on the example images at extract-table.com, but the code is heavily commented at https://eihli.github.io/image-table-ocr/pdf_table_extraction... so there's high visibility into what's going on and what needs to change to get it to work with images of different sizes/fonts.
I don't get why the author just assumes this will be evil. Does it share video, house maps, whatever with Amazon? The author doesn't even try to find out, just snarky cynicism.

There are privacy concerns, for sure, but it seems toxic and negative to disregard the product and focus only on the concerns and blow them out of proportion too.
I personally see it as "plausible deniability" as the cynical actual distinction for what gets people to share blame. Not actual affiliations or whose servers it is run on. Any number of objectionable sites are run on AWS and you basically need to be an international scandal or violating preexisting terms to get booted. Like some malware to governments merchants. Amazon's policies did not care if it was legal just if you were doing so unauthorized. A wise move when international law is really like the Pirate code.

The interlinking between the pages themselves and common branding are what creates the associations. Distributed twitter alternatives like Mastodon can even share the same branding but it is on a per network basis and complex enough to allow for some "innocent" questionable connections.

Worth pointing out the author of the piece, Stephen Bryen, is a Senior Fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council (Source : https://www.usnews.com/topics/author/stephen-bryen ). This organization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Foreign_Policy_Counci...) seems to have sided with some of the driving forces behind the US-led invasion/occupation of Iraq/Afghanistan. This doesn't invalidate the analysis necessarily, but it feels like this article is coming from someone in an organization that potentially falls in the particularly hawkish part of the policy spectrum.

You can still only record one scene AFAIK, but you can still record multiple standalone sources. Its great if you want to record your screen or some complex scene, but still record your face camera separately to do whatever you want with in post production instead of doing it during recording.
having been through a similar situation myself (where the outcome has spilled over from the place i was working when it occurred to contaminate following business relationships) i've thought a lot about what went wrong and what i wish would/could have happened.

i think, really, what would be ideal, would be some sort of pause or alternate low stress duties that can be put on the job. perhaps some sort of salary reduction, or maybe insurance that covers the lost wages at the time, that allows for time to deal with these things properly and then a proper return where one isn't caught between trying to deliver in a high stakes environment and being a reasonable human in family/home matters.

i've seen some comments along the lines of "people who work in trades don't get this sort of benefit." yeah, that's not totally true... and computering for dollars is different, a depressed/mentally stressed programmer is like an electrician with a skeletal injury. a friend of mine is an electrician and when he injured himself, the union found a desk job for him until he was able to heal. i feel like something similar should exist for computer people.
From barcelona to amsterdam will cost about 50-100 bucks with luggage. Transfer to the airport costs 1-2 euros each side as both airports have excellent local train connectivity at regular local pricing. It takes 2 hours. With checkin and waiting hassles etc say 4.

By high speed rail the same trip costs around 400, takes 12 hours and in most cases you have to transfer somewhere in Paris from one station to another by metro.

There's simply no point in this. And there is no incentive for the rail companies in making this work. They fill up all their high-speed seats for in-country travel already so why bother making good deals for international through travelers? Better sell the same seat on the journey several times for a local commuter than once for long distance.

For national travel you have a point, sure. In Europe national air travel is really rare. Even the biggest countries use their rail links for that. But on a European scale rail is not working at all.
Increase can only be considered against inflation. They aren't really.

The People's Republic of China is highly vulnerable to a missile attack.

The Russian Federation is highly vulnerable to a missile attack.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is highly vulnerable to a missile attack.

For all the lack of coverage and cost of the American missile shield, these countries have no defense system against ballistic or cruise missiles.

A nuclear war with Russia or China would probably spell the end of both sides and set back mankind technologically and economically, possibly irreparably.

The only national leader who would seriously contemplate a missile attack against the United States, even a conventional one, is one who doesn't care about his own life.

First sentence captures the core issue: "Despite spending billions of dollars..."

I'd describe the issue as military capture - as opposed to state capture. Stand on the hill above the pentagon and look down upon the number of old defense brands surrounding the building, feeding off the mothership.

SpaceX has proven how ripe for disruption NASA and their old school contractors were. Our defense contractors have the same issue and no one is disrupting them. Every new capability is massively overpriced, under-delivered, and behind the innovation curve.

It never used to be this way. Kelly Johnson delivered the U2 and SR71 on schedule and under budget. It is very hard to imagine that happening today. The US government is getting absolutely screwed by their contractors, and it is perpetuated by the continuous public to private migration of military personnel, all cashing in on their career in government.
No, some element of the people operation whose job performance is in part judged on getting engineers through the door wanted to hire him. Likely all that person cared about was "This engineer will make it X months", where X is based on if the employee separates prior to X the recruiter gets yelled at for sourcing a bad candidate.

Other parts of the org clearly had no issues branding the employee as a low performer and target for termination because their performance reviews.
Maybe your friends at Facebook, Google and Microsoft aren't such special snowflakes and in fact there are plenty of engineers around good enough to do the job? Don't mean to sound harsh but it's not like working at any of the above companies instantly makes you some kind of Einstein.
Companies, and Amazon isn't alone in this, don't care about employee loyalty. They will all hem and haw about giving someone making a 100k a 5% raise and talk about how they can't do a raise that 'high' but when that employee leaves, they'll backfill their replacement at 120k.

Yes, 300k is a lot of money, but for better or worse, a US based L5/6 at Amazon is just another cog in the wheel. They probably fired 100 or so of them the day this person was fired, and the following Monday, another 100 started.
I don't get it. Are they also having a hard time hiring people or something? As for your premise of "who the fuck are you trying to hire, here? Exclusively people... without families?", I don't see weird about that. If you're a company of a dozen or so people, it doesn't seem too hard to find a bunch of 22-30 year olds with very little commitments.
And who exactly is going to attack the US with a missile?

North Korea and Iran aren't developing ballistic missile's so they can launch an unprovoked attack against the US, they developed them so they can respond to a US invasion and keep their regimes in place. Russia's military is in shambles. The idea that China would attack their largest trading partner (who is capable of responding with at least as much force) is absurd.
In practical terms what China is doing right now is not so different from the NEP of Lenin.
Regardless of whether the method has some origin in classic technique, it is indeed a strategy that the vast majority of AES (actually existing socialism) states have done. That's why Soviet ideology was Marxism-Leninism vs...well...Marxism.

>Each targets an industry that seems to strip people of their agency and rob them of their dignity. Each seems to hijack healthy behavior with a set of short term incentives whose end results are self destructive and degrading.

>One does not wish to waste a child’s youth away on 18 hours of evening cram school a week, but to do otherwise is to risk falling behind. It is a classic arms race problem: no player can stop the game from the inside, even though all players would benefit from a cap on the game. An outside force is needed to halt the madness. Xi Jinping has decided to be that force.

I feel the author's logic is flawed here. In the previous paragraph, he wrote-

>Xi Jinping is not reigning in capitalism writ large; Beijing is not scrapping market mechanisms altogether. Semiconductor foundries, agricultural conglomerates, and Christmas light factories (to choose three examples of hundreds) have been untouched by Xi’s ‘common prosperity’ agenda. It is a very select slice of Chinese capitalism that is being “reigned in.”

You mean, working in 'agricultural conglomerates' or being factory workers making 50 RMB a day, is not 'hijack healthy behavior with a set of short term incentives whose end results are self destructive and degrading.'? (short term benefit for the factory owners to the detriment of the society and workers.)

The author took a winded way to try to distinguish the reason why certain industries are targeted, but really there is no need- the PRC literally tells you why themselves: 'Fictitious Economy' vs 'Real Economy' .

(https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-cabinet-says-it-w...)

In Xi's eyes, anything that can't be physically grasp and control by the party belongs to 'Fictitious Economy' , hence the move to squash meal delivery (self-organized proto-union), k-pop/entertainment (voluntary idol worship), cram school (corruption and private source of education), and real estate (mass bubble speculation). Real Economy is output that the party can allocate and mobilize. The populace must lie down and accept whatever the party provides.

No need to invoke fancy Marxism philosophies.

Milley said he would warn the Chinese if Trump decided to launch an attack during the presidential transition period. That doesn't mean the US will warn China if it decides to launch an attack in the future.
No, companies should treat its employees with well defined policies that are easy to understand, enforce and audit.

Treating employees with something as variable and open to interpretation as "empathy" is what causes companies to implode- because who defines empathy? Who defines where the line is drawn? And why is it fair that some people will inevitably get more empathy than others because maybe the manager was having a good day and then a bad day.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I assume you're probably early enough in your career you never had to manage people. But when you eventually do, try to separate idealism from reality.

It would be helpful if you would edit your original comment, because you're literally saying it was Amazon.

The "they" is unspecified, so presumably it refers to the subject of the article you're commenting on, i.e. Amazon.
The Hercules story which purportedly begat the term is fascinating. Politics is rife with the "Glittering or vague generalizations" form, with MAGA being a most obvious example (and it is binding, since who in the States doesn't want to make America great?). The person who coined it uses weasel words nearly constantly. Consider phrases like "People are telling me..." sometimes interjected with a random spray of words and phrases like "many," "a lot of," "strong" or "smart" to exaggerate the faux authority being invoked.
