I'm not sure how you know it was "obviously pasted and not transcribed". There are plenty of reasons why someone might transcribe text they post here (I often do it when I'm writing on my phone and reading on my laptop, or vice versa).

That said, if we're being honest, I think you're right that the reason for adding 'sic' is usually as a snarky way to say 'haha, they made a spelling mistake', and in the hope that it helps to undermine a point which the transcriber is usually arguing against.

You're choosing to ignore a whistle blower because it conflicts with your friends opinions, opinions that aren't most likely 1st hand accounts.

If you're expecting an organization to just willfully admit negligence or wrong doing, especially if they took actions to cover it up (according to the whistle blower), when has that EVER happened?

Do we have the lab records and transaction logs? Are those records able to be tampered with easily? Who, that has subpoena power, is actually investigating? Does anyone have the power to carry out an actual investigation?

Whilst I broadly agree with your point, I'd suggest that "better experience" can be extremely "eye of the beholder" - especially if it interrupts a long established workflow / toolkit.
Depends more on the team than the person tbh. Sure you can have a great manager in either lane but if they don't gel with the team, it's ultimately going to fail. Most of the teams I've worked on don't want people managers in the chain of command, obviously anecdotal.

My job is anything but straight-forward in a large org. I have witnessed entire departments or "orgs" sit idle for almost a year while management did a huge dance to figure out the budget. This involved a lot of reliance on various lower lever employees. Once that was done, finally, we then began the process of figuring out how to spend the money fast enough in the time we had left until the next budget-dance--fast approaching.

I was an engineer (high level but still) and spent most of my time helping management not look like complete idiots to their managers.

When it came to actual engineering I had to beg the help of so many shared services that I rarely knew how to proceed. It usually came down to finding someone who had been there their whole career to find out which one of their friends knew how to initiate some process...to get an EC2 instance in AWS.

High degree of chaos and stress and nothing of real value got done. To top it all off, when you find out who your customer is you realize they are guilty of war crimes.

I went there to build data pipelines for high volume telemetry. I sort of worked on that, but not really.

I met numerous people who lamented that they would look back on their career and be able to say they went to some meetings. It is not healthy, on many levels.

Well. Given their circumstances. There are relatively few resources where these folks are and little opportunity. If it's either work in the farm or factory and make $1/day or work online generating fake content and make $5/day, I totally get why those guys are flocking to the latter. For them it's a pretty simple choice. Work here and struggle to feed your family, or work there and don't struggle to feed your family.

I don't know if this is actually the case everywhere, but I would assume it's the case in many places.

> I remember as a quant trader we could buy any book we wanted. Programming, Linear Algebra, finance, whatever. "If you find just one good idea, that will pay for all the books." Hard to argue with considering the sums involved, but it's also hard to know exactly what ideas we got out of the books.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but think you might be overapplying it here. According to glassdoor [0], the average salary for a quant trader is $146k, not counting other forms of compensation and employee overhead. Even the most expensive book only needs to save a few hours of effort to pay for itself, let alone provide an idea you wouldn't otherwise have.

Even if it doesn't pay for itself directly, it is cheap enough to justify for retention reasons alone

Per the Wason selection task this is a great experiment to run, because if it isn't true then that's strong evidence many more complex theories relating to sync are likely to be false.
I think it's because people sense there's a big lie being perpetrated, and they want the truth. Or that they really hope there is no lie and people (especially scientists!) are always good and innocent afterall.

The article itself obviously takes sides, so I won't ask inconvenient questions like how the virus got from Laos to Wuhan more plausibly than from the two labs there. One of which is right across from the seafood market, where lab workers presumably would have shopped, as well as at other markets.

I didn't realise that the 4 came out [0], cool. However, there are several problems with it (and unfortunately most modern flagships have them also). The phone is huge, 6.3" + bezel. If you look at the picture of the woman holding the phone it looks like the phone is either about to fall out, or the phone is simply photo-shopped on. Another issue is that the camera sticks out the back. If this camera falls on its back, the camera is the first thing that will be hit. That is the absolutely worst place to have it hit first. The price is quite expensive ($751.47), but if the phone lasts as long as they claim, then that shouldn't be that big of an issue.

I understand the the alphabetical listing is the most internally-consistent way to display to the users, but either putting duplicate entries for the most popular countries at the top of the list or providing a text field that suggests the normalized country as you type ought to be the go-to, not a purely alphabetic dropdown menu.

For sure. My summer jobs were in restaurants and factories. It deeply shaped my notion of what work is. It's been a long time, and I'm still excited I get to work from my house basically solving puzzles.

It has downsides, though. One thing you learn in blue-collar businesses is that the direct work is primary, with other stuff secondary. In a restaurant, nobody shuts down during the lunch rush to talk with everybody. In a factory, everybody understands that the machines keep going; any administration is done very much on the margins.

So it's maddening to me that in most office contexts, my schedule fills up with meetings and I'm expected to get my work done around them. And that nobody sees that as a problem, because that's just office culture.

> Easiest way to lose a locker room is having a manager/director who is technically inept.

I think a better way to look at a manager is to compare it to the HR department.

Managers aren't hired by the people they will be managing, they're hired by the company.

In the same way that HR always represents the company's interests more than the employees, a manager is the exact same thing.

It's not in the interest of most company executives to hire a manager with the backbone to say "no" to management, or be on the side of the team being managed.

I think it's very rare when a manager is hired to actually manage properly. Most companies seem to value the very qualities that most people hate about bad managers.
>Not at all. Not everything needs a digital solution.

Fair enough.
I think it's because there isn't a need for a catch-all word. If it's a plot/chart style of nomogram, for example, we just call it a plot or a chart. I never need to convey the general idea of graphical computation. I do think it's related to the prevalence of computers.
Eh, you can do it the hard way, or the fantastically lazy way. We just grow tangles - basic trellis of offcut branches, and then seed with a variety of complementary species, a few sacrificial pest magnets, and a few pest repellers. Irrigation is all automated drip, no feed - river (lovely and clean - there’s very little upstream of us, no industry) floods our garden each winter, does the job nicely.

What grows, grows, what doesn’t, doesn’t - and this year, even through a bitter drought, we have enough that we’re giving it away. Harvesting involves rummaging, so it isn’t exactly scalable - but for feeding a household, it’s perfect.

We have deer and boar here - so we also plant hemlock around the border of the garden, which they stay well away from. Also helps to piss on their trails nearby - discourages them from visiting. The boar, we actually take advantage of - there’s a meadow they love to turn over every spring, digging for tubers - which we then throw potatoes in.

I mean, outside of that, off grid life is humblingly challenging - but I’ve never been in better shape, and growing food is easy enough if you just let nature do its thing.

Its interesting to see that Ned never walked through the esplanade. He's walked right up to the edge and always turns away. It's not that much further than some of his other walks. Overall it looks like he's avoiding the back bay area entirely.

This is interesting b/c the esplanade is a pedestrian park with some beautiful water areas and bridges, its prime walking area.

Yes, I learned my lesson after moving into a 400-year-old thatched cottage because I thought it was quaint. The roof and windows leaked. It had limited central heating and was largely heated by a multi-fuel burner. That meant spending an absurd amount of money on wood, which I had to schlep around and split while the weather was appalling and then spend far too long lighting a fire and keeping it going all day, only for the heat to escape out of the ill-fitting single-glazed windows which couldn't be replaced because it was a Grade II listed building. The lovely ceiling beams and all the doors were slightly too low, so I was constantly banging my head on them.

All in all, not a great experience, although it looked very cosy in Instagram photos.

On top of which, this "cottagecore" trend is one reason none of the locals in my area can afford to buy a house. The house prices have skyrocked since Londoners decided living in the middle of nowhere was cool.

I think you're agreeing with me in that term logic is inappropriate for rigorous uses, though your examples are not really the results of its admitted flaws.

Let me clarify the area where I believe it is useful: the study of term logic helps prepare the minds of non-philosophers to reason, speak, and write clearly about concrete but often ill-defined matters of everyday life. While it lacks rigor, it forces them to consider the implications of their words and those of others, and how those words operate to express proof and disproof. The study of symbolic and other more formal systems of logic, while essential for more rigorous reasoning, requires too much time and application to achieve similar results, because their mode of expression is too removed from the experience of non-philosophers and especially non-mathematicians.
That's just venison delivering itself.

There are very few albums that I can say that I have a clear memory of listening to them for the first time. Discipline is one of them. It was spring break of my freshman year of college and the drummer in the band I was playing in asked me to keep his CD collection in my room over break because there were occasional break-ins to rooms of people gone for the week. I listened to a lot of music new to me, but the one that grabbed me by the throat was Discipline.

Over time, I became a bigger and bigger fan of Crimson. My favorite era was the 74–77 incarnation which shed a member with each album until it finally collapsed, although the current line-up which has focused entirely on live performance is just amazing. I regret not getting the chance to see them live, and suspect that between Covid and the aging of the band that I never will see them live, but it's a truly amazing group of musicians (albeit one whose membership has been unstable since the start. The 80s trilogy of albums was the longest run without a lineup change in the band's history.)

No more of a problem than in any other ISA that has seen incremental improvements -- which is all of them.

Modern x86_64 OSes such as Windows and Linux run on everything back to the original Opteron and Athlon 64 from 2003, which don't have POPCNT and LZCNT. Those were implemented by AMD starting with Bobcat and Bulldozer in 2011. Intel added POPCNT in Nehalem in 2008 and LZCNT in Haswell in 2013.

Aarch64 got both from the start, but there are other things added in ARMv8.1-A through ARMv8.8-A (and ARMv9) which are presumably also useful to certain software.

Embedded chips used in routers and switches will take exactly the extensions useful to them and none that aren't. If Zbb is useful to them then they will certainly include it -- that's why the extensions are specified so finely with three non-overlapping extensions for BitManip being defined this year. Applications processors running shrink-wrapped OSes are required to take all the extensions in RVA22 (or none). The embedded world picks and chooses what they want.
