I understood PMs-from-hell when I finally realized that their work product is detailed schedules.

Whether or not that schedule reflects reality is immaterial. What matters is that it exists and is as detailed as possible.

Which essentially casts the PM as Borgesesque map-maker.
So get off Youtube (et al) already if you have opinions which do not coincide with the currently desired narrative in Silly Valley. The writing has been on the walls for years now, MegaTech™ has taken it upon themselves to push the desired narrative and frowns upon those who dare to dissent.

Remember the old Soviet joke about there not being news in Pravda, nor being truth in Izvestia? The harder the censor squeezes, the more this becomes applicable to them.

Either roll your own server or get an account on some Peertube instance, use Odysee, use whatever distributed platform you care but do not rely on any of these centrally controlled organs to do your bidding - they listen to another master. Use Youtube (et al) as a content distribution network if you want, referring to your primary channel on that Peertube (etc) instance if you want but try your best not to become dependent on them. The more people do this and the more content is blocked by the censors, the easier it becomes to show the discrepancy between what there is to know and what they want you to know - or not know. This was true for Pravda and Izvestia, it may become true for Youtube-Google/Twitter/Facebook-in-its-many-guises/etc.
Don't reason from fictional evidence. It makes you look like a fool.

You can connect it via USB and ssh locally. Obviously showing it in the interface would be better but that would work.

It also fully supports 802.1X, which surprised me.
No, it really isn't, not unless you have alternative definitions for "understand" or "know."
Will EU ever allow fracking? I guess its still easier to import fracked gas from other countries. Blessed to have $$$ and keep the EU environment clean.

Yeah, that's bananas. Even the cheapest of cheap IOT devices expose that, even if it's just on a sticker.
> I guess I still don't see what that has to do with covid

The hours are longer, the cases are more likely to result in death, and there are just more cases. Medical staff also get verbally abused by Covid deniers and anti-vaxxers.

A friend of mine who works in the ER was physically attacked by a spouse because they refused to believe the Covid test. It was their opinion that such a sever illness could not be Covid.

> wouldn't it be prudent to increase staffing to alleviate the most common concerns (insufficient staffing, workload, and emotional toll)

Yes, absolutely! There were doctor and nurse shortages in the US long before Covid even started. They're hiring as many people as they can. There just simply aren't enough people to go around, especially in "less desirable" locations for people to move.

> Firing staff which has a high probability of possessing immunity would seem to aggravate the existing situation.

"Immunity" != "unable to spread Covid"

They're not firing the staff because we know that they're disease vectors. They're firing the staff because they refuse to take a guaranteed, basic, zero-cost, easy, medically-indicated step to reduce their ability to spread disease.

In general, medical providers should not believe conspiracy theories about important drugs that save people's lives.

Also, the number of people being fired is extremely small[1].

> Houston Methodist Hospital, for example, required its 25,000 workers to get a vaccine by June 7. Before the mandate, about 15% of its employees were unvaccinated. By mid-June, that percentage had dropped to 3% and hit 2% by late July. A total of 153 workers were fired or resigned, while another 285 were granted medical or religious exemptions and 332 were allowed to defer it.

> At Jewish Home Family in Rockleigh, New Jersey, only five of its 527 workers quit following its vaccine mandate. Two out of 250 workers left Westminster Village in Bloomington, Illinois, and even in deeply conservative rural Alabama, a state with one of the lowest vaccine uptake rates, Hanceville Nursing & Rehab Center lost only six of its 260 employees.

> Delta Air Lines didn’t mandate a shot, but in August it did subject unvaccinated workers to a US$200 per month health insurance surcharge. Yet the airline said fewer than 2% of employees have quit over the policy.

> And at Indiana University Health, the 125 workers who quit are out of 35,800 total employees, or 0.3%.

Or people who live just across the border where there previously was none continue to commute to work daily, now across a border.

With time countries usually end up passing treaties to make these regular passings easier. When you are a country newly enforcing the Schengen border it’s a high faff affair and closely scrutinized.

I remember when Slovenia first got the border it caused huge problems and long delays.
Keep at it. I think it looks great!

Steven covey says you have a circle of influence and a circle of concern and you should make those things mostly match each other.
It's nothing fundamental, as far as I am aware. Depends on what you mean by "fundamental".

There is no known way to simulate a quantum computer, using a classical computer, in polynomial time. A quantum computer is just a kind of quantum system, so we know that some quantum systems cannot be efficiently modeled (barring revolutionary advances in simulation algorithms).

When your simulations take superpolynomial time, it tends to be easy to find problems which you simply do not have the computational resources to solve, and you may not be able to solve interesting versions of the problem. There are lots of examples of problems like this. However, I don't consider this to be a fundamental difference.

For example, satellite navigation systems are just fine calculating directions for driving all the way across the continental US, even though that's a very "large" instance of the problem that they are solving. But if you try to find the fastest route for a delivery driver to make a hundred deliveries within one city, good luck. This is just an analogy, and I'd like to emphasize that "no KNOWN algorithm" efficiently solves these problems, and that we haven't proven whether such an algorithm exists.

I agree verticals is too simplistic, but the example of zoom is an interesting one because it still had the differentiator of being consumer focused (which brings a whole list of attributes like price sensitivity, ease of use etc) vs the incumbents that where very enterprise focused.

You still need something unique to do well usually, though that unique thing doesn’t have to be the idea or space.
I thought it was a bit meandering and never really delivered an "aha!" moment, but it does have a few key points which were interesting to read about:

* The author asserts substantial portions of internet ad sales are fraudulent. Some ads are never displayed, some are displayed to click-farms, etc.

* The author asserts that, over time, the effectiveness of online advertising is decreasing significantly. People use blockers, learn to scroll past them, etc.

* The author asserts that the qualities that makes online advertising attractive, attribution and transparency, are false premises and that the market is exceedingly opaque and orgs like Google want to keep it that way.

* The author asserts that much of the internet advertising market was built by finance experts from big banks that brought much of the advances of the stock market to the industry, but many of the problems as well.

The author takes those assertions and suggests that online advertising is not as valuable as we currently believe it to be (and its value may be approaching $0), and that companies which make money off our attention are ticking time bombs. He compares the situation to the subprime housing crisis across a couple of different area, particularly the illusion of having a transparent and trustworthy market and suggests that it could completely wipe out the current model for internet economics as we know it.

While I think the author makes too big of a leap, it was one of the first books that made me consider the probability that the existing internet economy may have cracks in it just like any other economy and it is certainly possible there's a domino waiting to fall somewhere.
> accidentally killing civilians ?

When you are killing children using rocket propelled explosives deliberately launched into crowded urban areas, from high-altitude unmanned vehicles, operated by professional soldiers an ocean away, on intelligence only you have, you are as far away from an accidental killing as is possible.

Most of the people in the world aka energy consumers are not wealthy, if the price doesn't impact the "poor" you can't make people consume less really.
I love this comment, but presumably there's a need for databases that are well suited for write heavy workloads. Also there's no great story for starting out with an RDBMS and then scaling out. Right now if you're with MySQL you have some options to scale out with read replicas, and then eventually replicate to a TiDB cluster. PostgreSQL I guess there's cockroachdb, but it's kind of meh.
I would suggest similar to what other people have suggested where you color the background of the cell red and then just display the literal content of the cell. I think it would be reasonable to have this configurable via command line arguments though, so if you like the "NA" that could also be a mode.

Perhaps it would make sense to have a "pretty" mode and a "literal" mode (which would also turn off the clever processing of numbers)?
The standard says you can use either. Why do you disagree with the standard?
So, I keep reading responses such as this on the subject of neuron/brain emulation, and I have a question to ask back. Is it possible to understand a neuron at all? It appears that we have some understanding, given that we can decode some of the electrical and chemical signals coming from them and to them, but it seems that the zeitgeist is that these things are inherently impossible to understand. If so, as a layperson why waste the resources trying to advance this branch of science? (Note I personally fully support advancing this branch of science.) Why not spend the effort on something with positive tangible results, like space travel or clean power?
I can't say this is true for everyone that voted, but can sadly confirm that I know for many this is true, certainly had a significant impact in my opinion.
He! Time flies. I wonder if he named it intentionally like that.

I feel like this is an aspect of privacy that is not discussed often enough. Its a discussion that should have happened in (the year) 1984 when the terminator came out, and Arnold killed a bunch of people by looking them up in the yellow pages. Everyone having increasingly easy access to the tools necessary to perform these kinds of "OSINT investigations" into nearly anybody is not good for society.

2) Slovakia will be launching 2 new reactor blocks (Mochovce 3 and 4), one by end of year and next one within 2 years. Even the existing two blocks create 84% of our energy and with the next two we will become energy independent. Adding those two blocks equals about 2 milion personal car emission "saved" compared to having same amount produced by coal power plants.
And that's just one power plant for whole country of 5.5 million. Fortunately we didn't go the German route and we also get a lot of pressure from Austria to shut down our power plant (even though it passed all strict checks and is a very safe design).
Last coal mine will be closed in 2027, but most of them already sooner.

The interesting question is where's the cutoff?

If Joe met Jane and they had a baby together, everyone (except sibling commenter yosito, if the baby behaved irrationally during a time of political upheaval and global pandemics, and excepting maybe David Chalmers) would agree that Joe Junior would have consciousness.

If we cloned Joe, and grew him from an infant, then aside from Jane's genetics, he'd be much the same as Joe Jr. I think it's pretty undeniable that Joe the Second would have consciousness.

If we copied Joe's entire body down to the neuron - working molecule by molecule, 3D-printing him in a vat, and then defibrillated his heart into beating with a lightning strike, would you say that Dr. Joe's Monster had consciousness? I think the answer is probably yes. The human brain, like the heart, may require some initial pattern of activity - something stored in DRAM instead of FLASH, if you will - a self-perpetuating pattern of electrochemical action potentials that's not represented by the connectome of neurons; if you need to kick-start that in the same way you initialize the beating of the heart then that's simply part of the process of faithfully copying Joe. There may be some fast-moving chemical reactions and electrical potentials to duplicate, but they're measurable and physical; copy them and I think you'll have a consciousness.

The question is whether a high-fidelity but non-biological simulation would have consciousness. I think Joe 2.0 might be in a rough state, really testing the chip's adaptability functions, if his sensory neurons were not appropriately stimulated as they're accustomed to or if his motor neurons were unable to produce the motions that he's accustomed to. But those seem like small tasks compared to faithfully simulating a network of hundreds of trillions of synapses. If you can do that, then yes, I believe your chip would have consciousness.

I think that the cutoff where you cease to have a consciousness is when, rather than simulating Joe's connectome, you predict what Joe would have done. Consider the following conversation:

>> Hi, Predicted Joe, what's your name?

> My name is Eliza^W Joe.

That predicted Joe, I would argue, does not have consciousness, no matter the accuracy of the prediction.

That might be a design problem - sorry for that.

The app has to say "trying Stereo HD" to record in stereo, and the background of the rectangle will change to solid blue. If it just says "try Stereo HD", it's meant as an encouragement to tap on it to enable that mode.

Clearly, if this is confusing, that's of course our fault, and we'll work on improving the UX to avoid this misunderstanding. I'd just be interested - did I describe the misunderstanding correctly?
Similar story with wsj. They dont have a cancel online button and make you call a number. The agent then had me recite my (very long) name and email id multiple times because he ‘could not understand my accent’. There is definitely a dark pattern here and for all their shitting on the big tech, nyt and wsj certainly dont shy from using their more lucrative but shady tactics.
Why is story point estimation tied to fibonacci sequence? Two generations of managers at my previous employment thought this way. It just seems so arbitrary to me.
Killer app that I didn't know I needed: its built-in screen-share feature lets you easily and reliably share the tablet's screen with a desktop app over wifi. This has been super useful for whiteboarding/diagramming over Zoom.

(Older versions of the software had a very buggy implementation that has since been fixed.)
Thanks for sharing and good to hear you found a better place. Did your manager explicitly tell you to start looking or you just got some hints?. In my case, they havent (yet) told me though. In fact, I got a small hike. Cant read too much into the hike. Because that could be the HR policy to make sure my salary is not below the the range for my grade. I agree with you on job search. It gives that comfort since you are not desperate.
> What do you do for a living?

I'm a software developer, I have been working from home since the pandemic started and that's probably what led me to my initial opinion - I had almost no drop in productivity and I (wrongly) assumed school wasn't kinda sorta like my job.

> I also found school to be a huge waste of time but I was a very high IQ kid.

I was top ~1% as well. I agree K-12 is inherently useless for the top few percent, but I still think "normal" school is massively wasteful, even when you only take into account the middle 90%. Most of it just felt fake if I'm being honest: dumbed down versions of reality fed by teachers to students with the mutual understandment that it's all bullshit, so that eventually there's going to be a garbage test where the teacher knows the grades in advance.

I'm Italian though, not American, so YMMV.

> average income family may not have a private room for the kid to study, may have abusive situations at home, etc.

Yes, completely agree. I thought they'd be second-order effects but they weren't. My parents were working class but I don't recall money ever being a pressing issue, we were "poor" but not "really poor", so that might have skewed my perspective as well.
The lorry drivers that drive fuel lorries have different certification than general HGV drivers and there has never been a shortage of these lorry drivers.
Bricked is a [current] state (wherein there's no official recovery workflow available, and the device is as usable as a brick).

To give an example, certain dead devices can be saved after being baked in the oven to re-seat components that have worked loose. According to the "No True Bricking" argument that constantly comes up, those devices were never really bricked because they were later fixable, even though you're literally performing a re-manufacturing step.

In fact what exactly would a "True Bricking" look like? Even in cases where a major component dies, if you desolder it, and re-solder a new one is that a "True Bricking?"

See I have zero patience for the "No True Bricking" stuff since it is a logical Swiss cheese.
Show me US invasion forces in Ukraine.

Democracy support is not meddling. RF has done a lot of harm to Ukraine even before 2014. Euromaidan was a response against RF puppet Yanukovych. RF has used gas prices to influence election results. Leonid Kuchma who has built oligarchy regime elected with the help of Kremlin. His opponent, Viacheslav Chornovil, was killed.

It is mafia. And in RF mafia has got its own state.

>In typical Asimov fashion (he was always accused of being an “incurable explainaholic”), the show relishes in delving into the gritty detail of the countless worlds it explores. From intricate sociologies and histories of different home planets to the attention to specifics on the science of space travel and colonisation, the detail and lore of the universe is endless.

And this is where it also fails. Detailed word-building that sucks you in is missing. It's sacrificed into aesthetically pleasing grand scenes. Trantor architecture, life in the city, and rest of the detail are not working together to create illusion of a living world.

It's very easy to build grandiose and imposing structures in CGI. To make it live, you need to plan all the small details, casual and random interactions. George Lucas is master of this, much cinematic world building than directing.

Other Apple TV series like See and For All Mankind (Ronald D. Moore) are better at this.

"Eat your vegetables" is hardly the right analogous situation to cellphone use.
