The difference is (apart from original formula Four Loko) there is no mystery of what goes into alcoholic beverages.

Wheras the specifics of what Facebook chooses to show you is either opaque or incalculable for people who visit their website.

This includes catastrophic mistakes in the algorithm like the massive groups pushing Q anon early in.

When you buy Bud Light, there isn’t some constantly shifting emotionally persuasive unlicensed content available to offer just the right amount of drip to give a site visitor a drip just before their average session length is wrapping.

I personally think alcohol is often destructive like rot and sloppy tool to play with one’s consciousness.

However, it is at lease consistent and well understood. Facebook is neither, and can much more easily be linked with havoc in pursuit of ad spend.

There's a reason for suicide watch, and a reason Epstein was previously on it.
Hey diskzero - thanks for adding the questions here!

- Q: I would like to set up office hours where I can guarantee that I will be available to take calls.
- A: Right now, you might have to publish on your website the time of such office hours. If this is something you and others would find useful, we can add a configuration option to allow you to state when you're typically online.

- Q: What if I am on a long call and several people call in?
- A: We allow "concurrent" agents at the moment, meaning you can have multiple people answering calls so people don't have to wait in the queue. Another feature I'm thinking of adding in is a way to set a time limit per call. That is, when someone calls in and you answer, it will display a timer (say 3 minutes) that the user has. This seems like a not so rude way of preventing individuals from hogging all of your time.

- Q: Is there a way to transition from the call to a screen share if I have a way to show a customer how to solve their problem?
- A: There is currently an "interactive canvas" feature where you can use a WYSIWYG editor to send live visual aids to the user. I think a screen-share feature is also very sensible and something I'll likely put on the feature roadmap.
SimbCoin SWAP - Real estate cryptocurrency

Blockchain technology that provides an environment of security, transparency, and independence is the miracle innovation that applies in all areas of life activities. This is an opportunity that Africa is seizing to make the transition and catch up with the deadlines while being consistent with the standards that prevail in order to reach the pinnacle of technological excellence. The SimbCity-SimbCoin Swap project, a Context-Need solution, is a lantern for the economic option that will bring to life the African vision in two sectors: real estate and finance.

SimbCity impacts the real state sector by being an affordable luxury real estate project, in an African context that is lagging behind in infrastructure, because of the neglect of the under-exploited ecotourism potential for most of our countries.

Additionally, it also impacts the African financial sector. Barriers to cross-border financial transactions impose a crucial economic recession involving an obligation of vertical and timidly horizontal trade relations. Backed by the future of the financial structure, SimbCoin cryptocurrency comes up with an incremental, yet smart, functional transaction model that boosts the economic return of a potential initiative by 100, or 10,000 if it is duplicated.

It is therefore in a circumstantial harmony between systemic evolution and sustainable prosperity that we come to present the concrete in terms of SimbCity and SimbCoin Swap.
There are EB green cards, created by Congress, and intended for skilled workers to immigrate.[1]
Yes, you can apply (or be sponsored for ones that require a sponsor) for one without having an H1B or even being in the country. These are completely orthogonal to non-immigrant visas.

I gave FB the benefit of the doubt and read through all the discussion without having any of the facts that they were asserting were incorrect, meaning that 11 out of 12 items helped teenage girls. Why not just say up front what those things were instead of forcing me to read their interpretation of them for a dozen paragraphs?

And, then to say almost gleefully, we are releasing the "full slide" to tell the "full story" which WSJ didn't do. How about releasing the full slide deck? Did I miss that?

Honestly, it feels a lot like propaganda to me and that I'm only getting the part of the story that Facebook wants me to see. I know WSJ did that too, but let's at least be honest that both sides are selling something. And, I'm not worried about my two daughters reading the WSJ.

Edit: read it again, don't see a link to the full deck that contains the one slide in question. Why not release it in full?

> I'm a Software Engineer as well as a Business Analyst and Project Manager. I'm also managing a dev team,

That's really too much context switching. Of course you're getting burnt.

Effectively pulling all those things off was possible 10 or 20 years ago. The world has gotten too complex now. Unfortunately, it is sort of expected in some shops.

One thing that I find helps tremendously: Don't try to wear more than one hat per day. If you're doing management-related tasks today, don't try to do software engineering on the same day. Even if it means you waste a few hours in a day.

Totally get the use case for this, lots of shared accounts in IT, been a problem for years that gets solved in a number of ways. Sometimes clever, sometimes barely duct tape.

This is much nicer looking. But... and it's a very big but... why would you trust this service? You're giving random person on the internet your 2FA secret keys. Their TOS & PP don't even mention encryption. I'm not saying you can't do something like this, but I'd be extremely hesitant using something for a very high security purpose that is probably done by one person as an MVP.

There are other options, 1Password and LastPass both support 2FA TOTP codes. If you trust those, they are "better" for security. Do they have some of the features and convenience of this service? No. But at least you already trust them for high-security usage.
I just saw one of these last week in Honolulu and indeed came closer than average to rear ending it.

But Tesla offer their own insurance. Isn't that taking responsibility?
In the early 90s there was an advertisement on Dutch TV. It was about a company's toilet cleaning product, and during the ad some "scientists" said (literally translated) "We from Toilet Duck recommend Toilet Duck" (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wij_van_Wc-eend_adviseren_Wc-e...). The slogan ended up being synonymous with organizations recommending their own products.

This article reminds me of that. Facebook will never admit their services are harmful, as that would be in direct conflict with their business. And because of that I would treat any claim they make about how good their services are as nothing more than just bullshit.
Nature will quite readily calculate the 2D Fourier transform and its inverse for us without the use of a digital computer.

This is because lenses effectively do a Fourier transform at the focal point. With the right setup, you can apply filters at the focal point and get pretty much exactly what you would expect. An example of such a setup is the 4F Correlator. [0]

Fourier optics is a whole subfield within optics, and it really is rather fascinating.

Exposure to Fourier optics really helped develop my intuition around the Fourier transform.

A "landing page" is but one part. It doesn't do anything except get contact information of people who express curiosity or interest, and a fleeting willingness to be talked with about what that page contains. It doesn't validate anything.

What you do next with the people who expressed an interest on your landing page will validate your idea: getting to know the problem space better if you have prior knowledge, or getting to know the problem at all if you're an outsider, validating the need and the market, qualifying your potential users, selling or "pre-selling" or getting a commitment of some sort, and expanding.

Are you a user yourself? If so, you have knowledge of your ideal customer and you can figure out how to reach them.

Maybe you can still make the most out of this post and expose your idea, and update your profile with a means to contact you in case someone is interested.

The alternative is to let people stand trial when they've violated legitimate laws, in front of a jury of their peers. The Unconstitutional, Orwellian Espionage Act that Assange is accused of violating is a stain on the US "justice" system and an affront to everyone who believes in free speech and the Constitution.

Haha...interesting you'd say that.

I worked for two State Governments, Oregon and Nebraska for a combined 13 years total.

I ended my career at the State of Oregon as an IT Director for a State Agency.

So several things about state employment bothered me to no end:

1. State employee union contracts catered to the lowest common denominator. What I mean by that for one thing, is that you cannot negotiate your salary or your "work out of class" rules/pay.

2. Implementing technology (context was 15 years ago) one always had to consider the public perception. This meant that when iPhones were first introduced, I couldn't consider them as part of my IT planning because of the public perception that I'd be wasting tax dollars on them. Despite the fact that they were superior in every way to what Blackberry was offering at the time.

3. I couldn't buy things off of price agreement despite finding prices lower than what the State had already negotiated.

Uh… I assume you can see how leaving a note saying “CIA was here!!!” might run counter to the goals of a spy agency. You might separately not like some of the missions they are tasked with, but this is what they would be doing even if they spent all their time rescuing orphans and their puppies from North Korean salt mines.
Very nice work! Keep it up with good work. We need more people like you, we need to democratize more domains. The web3 will be one of the powerfull weapon against centralization which kill every day, every second the privacy of the users. Thanks for everything!
I worked at Facebook around the time this data was collected, and read these results internally as part of my job. I analyzed similar surveys to this one and worked on doing things like designing experiments based on predicted effect size.

Maybe it's because I didn't say this originally. The sample size agrees with my intuition about how large a study should be for the sorts of questions it wants to answer. If the proportion of people giving an important answer were very small, say 0.01%, then the sample size would need to be much larger.
If it's titled as management at the current company it looks like management to the next company. Your larger point is true but that title can be leveraged into a number of positions that are 'real' management so I wouldn't discount it.
> Anyway, I have some news regarding this whole hing, the update was pushed through and approved finally so I'm a bit less worried, they still say I should talk to them on the phone so they're going to schedule a call with me.

This is the standard corporate playbook at this point.

Screw over lots and lots of people, then opponents will find some sympathetic cases like this one and put them in the news to put pressure on the company to do something.

The company fixes the one specific case that made the front page. Neither the million other instances, nor the systemic problems that led to them, are addressed. But if anyone refers to the case that made the news, the company can say that it turned out alright. "The system works."

It only turns out alright in that case because it made the front page. Things are still broken everywhere else.

Exactly what I thought of reading this. The idea of "productivity" doesn't even make sense. People don't want to be productive, people want to be happy.
My institution's equivalent was projecting an image of a "criminal" behind bars, doing the masking with a piece of blue-tak in the reciprocal space, and then watching the bars vanish in the image. And then doing the same thing with a cold-war era real life spy-plane photograph of the ocean, followed by masking out the frequency corresponding to the waves, and revealing the underwater submarine. Fun and lifelong memorable.
What I really liked about matlab was that you could programmatically generate figures and then modify them, by adding annotations etc.
This seems like a logical thing for plotly or vega or one of the javascript python image libraries to add.

That said, I would not pay for this. Python has an awesome free and open source ecosystem, I cant imagine using pytorch, scikit learn, numpy, pandas etc for free then paying to annotate my plots.
He left out that NFTs hardly have a low take rate. OpenSea is the number one earner of fees every time I look at Etherscan. They have taken 18% of the fees in the last 24 hours for 1,065 ether (which they immediately turn into dollars, because they view ether so highly), and 24% in the last 3 hrs
indeed. I've found most managers have been a hindrance to getting the job done.

unlike engineering, there's not really any formal "engineering manager" education. so it probably boils down to incompetence.

This feature is called "Dynamic Brake Lights" and seems to be somewhat common on new vehicles in Europe. Under hard emergency braking, the brake (red) lights flash rapidly. If the vehicle comes to a complete stop after emergency braking, the hazard (blinking amber) lights will turn on automatically until you move off again.
Considered*

Did they try? The US also "considers" invading Canada. Consideration means nothing. And the US monitors people suspected of crimes all of the time. I'm tired of hearing about hypothetical "unfair" trials.

Once again, the alternative you guys seem to want is a world where people that you like can do whatever they want. You like Assange and because of his celebrity status no trial can be fair- very convenient. Nobody famous has ever stood trial?

Like most of the services popping up around 2FA, now that 2FA is popular: this essentially removes one of the factors.

Whether you're making one of the factors available to everyone on Slack, or putting it next to the password in LastPass, the result is the same, you delete the security benefits of 2FA.
There's a reason people become addicts. They must feel there's something to be gained or kept.

This week I'm going to get my shit together, these will be my last cans of RedBull and my last all-nighter.

Alright, I've got this. At 35% leverage I'll have it all back in no time.

I've worked and spoken with many addicts. Even after them having been clean for years, many never seem able to defeat that false idea of there being light at the end of the tunnel / benefit.

Just imagine there are people, some of whom are probably reading this too, whose job it is to artificially recreate or induce this dark and destructive part that exists in each and every one of us.

Edward Snowden: “Why is the CIA so obsessed with silencing Julian Assange?”
If 1% of the users of your app start having suicidal thoughts as a direct result of using your app, then guess what: your app is going to be responsible for a significant number of suicides. No matter how FB spins this, it’s just disgusting. Instagram is literally killing thousands of kids a year.

FTA: “What the data shows: When we take a step back and look at the full data set, about 1% of the entire group of teens who took the survey said they had suicidal thoughts that they felt started on Instagram.² Of course, even one person who feels this started on Instagram is one too many. That is why we have invested so heavily in support, resources and interventions for people using our services. In addition, some of the same research cited by the Journal in the slide above shows that 38% of teenage girls who said they struggled with suicidal thoughts and self harm said Instagram made these issues better for them, and 49% said it has no impact.”
Don’t get the wrong impression. I’m not judging.

My opinion, you should be a thousand percent more committed to your children. Your wife is an adult.

You brought your children into this life. You owe them everything.

Most husbands and wives would sacrifice themselves and each for their children.

Although, I understand the subtle distinction that once your children have grown and moved on, that you still have a vow to your wife/husband. I think that’s important.

Interesting topic of the stages of marriage and parenthood.
I’m younger than you, had the same issue and solved it by working less and doing more outside. Lifting weights in the sun, mountain biking, golf, surfing.

In understand this is a luxury not everyone can afford but what I do now is work from about 6-9am, go out during the day until about 3, work 4-6. Which if you add it up is still a solid 5 hour day.

For whatever reason it just makes me more productive and sleep better at night.

Before I did this I just felt like a slave to my computer, super tired all the time, depressed and lethargic. I had sleeping problems because I felt like I was missing out on “life” and for some reason I’d stay up late on Instagram, YouTube etc, maybe watching others live vicariously ? I felt dissatisfied.

Knowledge work pays well but IMO it can come at a pretty high cost if you don’t prioritise your life.

Edit: I read your reply on another post, I think you’re doing way too much at your job. It’s not manageable and it sounds like you’re burned out and likely failing at at least one of your duties making you feel down.
Chemo is a good example. It's used in a situation of last resort where probability of dying is already very high and if I were in that situation, I would too.

Theres no such thing as FAANG level devs. I have worked at two FAANGS, its just people that memorized the algorithms to pass the interview. I see horrific code here all the time, and have worked with much better software talent at startups that need people to actually deliver useful software.

What FAANG does get right is there are very smart people designing the frameworks, tooling, and standards through which everyone else delivers their software. This means that a low skill dev can be amplified in terms of delivery, and can be easily stopped from breaking production.
"Domain" is an undefined term, which is part of the problem of DDD. It's an arbitrary grouping of things. Sometimes people use it to mean a part of the business, sometimes it's a group of models and actions on those models, and it's all a fundamentally flawed attempt to divide the real world into categories. It leads to ambiguous groupings of things where it's not obvious to put new functionality. And those groupings poison your software by trying to lock in very specific business ideas into software, making it inflexible. Excel is designed around _functionality_, and pushes concepts of "domains" into the users of the software, using it however they want to design their domains. If Excel had a "problem solving user" domain and a "business account" domain, etc, it would be terrible software.
