I was also troubled by this. In the CBS story, Ms. Abrams calls the other 20 people incredibly brave. Uh. No. If they were brave, they would quit and make their claims publicly.

They clearly want to keep cashing that paycheck while being involved in an organization that they find reprehensible.
Next up, sausage factory work says they wouldn't feel safe eating company's sausage.

It's a rocket. It's dangerous and there are risks.
I would be very interested in real examples!
Maybe, but I think there are social contracts that you are overlooking. If I write a rule, and then I violate a rule (or refuse to censure someone for violating a rule) then I can be rightly accused of hypocrisy.

People believe themselves to be within a certain margin of "good people", and having incontrovertible proof of being "The Biggest Hypocrite" makes them uncomfortable.

There are of course those who don't feel that discomfort; there are even those that commit victim-filled crimes without remorse. Often, there are external forces we can lean on to bring those people into line or out of society - and agreed, in the case of Open Source Software communities, those external forces don't always exist or are not reliable for regulating something as insignificant as moderation policies on a mailing list.

There are also those that would leverage that discomfort for their own immoral benefit, and bad rules are equally good enablers of that kind of person.

But I don't think it's fair to say that the quality of rules is meaningless - if there is any level of accountability in the sub-community of moderators (or in the community as a whole), good fair and enforceable rules have power.

When Gratipay existed, they didn't take a cut (financial transaction fees were covered by donor or recipient). They survived on dogfooding[1]. Liberapay operates the same way.

The political divide is because the institutions of power are winning.

It will be and always has been the goal of those with power to deflect attacks directed at them, usually to other groups who are attacking them. For all of his faults, Biden has been extremely good at convincing the lefties that "well, we'd be back to normal now if those damn Republicans would just get vaccinated", effectively turning the normal folks on the left against the normal folks on the right instead of where the anger should be directed: toward the institutions that let millions of folks go homeless, financially and medically insecure, etc. in the face of the pandemic.

The Republicans in power are, I think, a little better at playing this game: they whip their base into a furor over the group in power but only in such a way as they (those already with power) still come out on top. The people are angry at the right group, but for the wrong reasons (and really just to further the agenda of the _worst_ people).
I find it baffling how Blue Origin is making sure that there is a strong force within NASA to never grant them any contract, ever.
So just offload ~35% or whatever it is to cover the taxes in anticipation that they're reporting it to the IRS. Not sure if it qualifies as a gift though, which may be taxed different than income.
I do, in fact, expect to be able to use my paid for Android app at any time in the future.

I'm not counting on updates and new features, I just want the same version I bought to work on the same version of Android it works on right now.

Obviously, that's all in my stubborn old school brain, but it doesn't stop me from hoarding .APK files and Android images.

I had a lot of great very old software on some CDs that I regularly reburned/copied until I lost them over a decade ago and I'm still pissed about that :D
If the code is the law how can it be incorrect? It can only be incorrect by comparison with some other law (like "the code writer's intentions"), in which case you are effectively making that the true authoritative law, rather than the code.
Alright, there is some naming collision then.

"offline-first" (terrible name, but here we are) generally refers to a classic web application that wants to be able to run offline either for network resiliency reasons or for performance.

"local-first" is a term that has been coined for something close to what you are talking about: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html

There's a missing perspective in a lot of these comments: some people like to support artists and aren't that naive when it comes to "buying NFTs". They see stuff they like and want to support the creator. That's also an aspect of this. Some fraction of the art NFT space is people literally investing directly in artists with the possibility of getting a return on investment, but not necessarily an expectation of that.
The criteria was that is was the best job available in the world's wealthiest country, not that it was palatable to a someone living in a very poor country plagued with issues much lower on Maslow's hierarchy

My wording was maybe a bit bad, but this really sounds like AC current leakage.
When you feel it, it is above the action potential, therefore activating your nerves and muscles.

This could be due to improper grounding or faulty components. This is not normal and shouldn't be!

It can cause all kinds of symptoms, but the general consensus is, that if it is below the dangerous threshold of around 30 mA, there will be only discomfort but no permanent or irreversible damage.

Discomfort is lightly said, but can have a huge impact on your quality of life. Please do something about this and maybe complain to the vendor. Even though this is not seen as health risk.

There are some studies suggesting in vitro damage for all kinds of cells at low levels of current, you as a complete system will be very resilliant to this.
This fabric is the most beautiful cloth, with the finest needlework! But it is invisible to fools (and bigots)!
many argue that silicon valley firms are de facto extension of the US government [1]. a swiss army knife (haha) in their toolkit that allows complete control over the flow of information. i mean seriously, just look at how fast the Crypto AG story was forgotten. only this Dutch article [1] and a handful of others properly dives into the profound impacts that the CIA backdoored Crypto AG devices likely had on world events in the past 50 years. [2]

so yeah if SV firms were not extensions of the US govt. (hardware firms too, not just software), they would have already been broken up years ago.

the senate hearings are just a charade used to stroke the ego's of the 'visionary' SV tech bro CEOs. they also show us how tech illiterate the working class has been made. [2]

I had my start programming via https://www.byond.com/games/
and it makes me really excited to see so many platforms where it's easy to hop in and start programming games with modern technologies. I don't work in games as an adult but I wouldn't be where I am without sites like that.

Here's to the next wave of kids that pick up programming from platforms like these.
Please explain why you think the recipient of a gift is the one that has to pay tax on it.
It can still be man-in-the-middle'd. Theres no way to know the attacker isn't calling you on one line while calling your bank on the other. As soon as you've authenticated, they'll continue talking to your bank, and fob you off with some excuse like "oh, the system is down, can you call back tomorrow".
My interpretation is that society has been increasingly dependent on the financial system. Who keeps cash anymore? It's almost illegal on many jurisdictions.

It's no longer something you can opt out of, especially since the covid pandemic.
Social media is one of dozens of social changes in the last N years. You can line any one of them up next to any bad outcome. This is not generally being done from a place of epistemic humility or interest in establishing causation. It’s just “thing I already don’t like lines up with bad outcome, see how right I am not to like it!”

If that’s not what you’re doing, I don’t mean it as an attack on you. I just think we’re systematically abusing miserable kids as confirmation of our priors (about all kinds of things, social media is just one). We owe them curiosity about how to actually help.
Came here to say this. Comes in a toothpaste tube and isn’t expensive. But it’s damn good mustard. My personal favourite.

What’s interesting is this seems to say the exact opposite of what the other direct response says. But I also don’t think this is exactly true.

Promise.resolve(
Promise.resolve('foo')

At runtime is Promise<Promise<string>>. It only collapses when chained to then (or await’ed), just as in the sibling comment’s flatMap example.

Every time I have had fraudulent charges on my credit card, it was the credit card company who spotted it and reversed the charge before I even notified them.
a great way to realize the metaverse has died is to not discuss it. let us begin
Sure! I was trying to avoid mentioning it to avoid seeming like an advertisement. (I have the HyperJuice 100W USB-C adapter)
The IRS is the most understaffed, underfunded, overworked of the major agencies. Its alleged power is mostly an illusion of the media. I know someone who made over $1mm in a year and didn't pay taxes. just kept delaying it and got a lot of letters. A decade later still has not paid it. now the FBI and Secret Service are way worse though.
I believe due to motor efficiency and losses from AC, media system, etc., the most efficient speed for most EVs and hybrids is around 25 mph. I’ve heard 10 and 35 suggested as well.
The experiences that come to be understood as "the metaverse" will (probably) be web based, in the end, imo. I wrote about this thinking that inspired Mozilla Hubs for anyone interested: https://gfodor.medium.com/the-secret-mozilla-hubs-master-pla...
All those reasons + not owned by google.

I prefer to use companies where you're using their bread and butter service. That way you know they won't suddenly lose interest in it, which google has a reputation for, especially anything to do with google cloud.

I just find what Supabase it trying to do matches up exactly with what I wanted - it solves 90% of my developer headaches and all works together nicely.

Plus I just get good vibes from Supabase in general.

My experience is that it's very unlikely to find someone to carry such a site forward for decades -- everyone I met (except for 1 guy) loses interest after a few years.

Don't know if archive.org would carry a read-only version forward.

You are right because human nature and bribery will always be there - no amount of pay will stop one from wanting more. That's what the PC said as well: the wealthy and powerful don't want to lose their wealth and power either, do they. The question is, what do we choose to do in such a situation?
Is it still vulnerable to a MITM attack though, e.g. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/when-in-doubt-hang-up-lo... ?

Attacker wants Victim's code. Attacker calls the Bank impersonating Victim, and also calls Victim impersonating the Bank. Bank tells Attacker the code check, Attacker tells Victim the code check, Victim sees the match and enters their PIN into the Smart-ID app, and Attacker's phone session with Bank is now fully authenticated and has no more need for Victim.
My way to deal with this is to pocket the money, while planning my exit by way of launching my own products. Once one of them get some traction, I am out.
I’m not sure exactly what your reliability question is about. I haven’t actually used the file system API I posted, probably same as you I’m waiting for it to ship outside of Chromium.

On the subject of WebKit, IndexedDB bugs are also pretty bad especially on iOS; we have debated about turning off IndexedDB write buffering in Safari and just do in-memory there. The best thing to do on Apple platforms is to make the app they’re trying to force you to make. Then you can make a little adapter so your web app can write to disk using SQLite and enjoy a nice relational API without needing to worry about the whims of the browser.

Cool, we're using this in a couple projects, awesome tool!
Oh man I feel for you. At the startup I'm currently at, it's all remote and we have daily stand-ups that are only 15 mins but usually they finish in 2. Not sure if it's useful or not since you could probably express the same info in a message but it's nice to see people I suppose.
You can store a hash in the contract if you really want them to be linked.
> privileged...resort...great pay with benefits...privilege...entitlement....whiny and out of touch

The post was written by someone who works about the management and shareholders of corporations. If privilege and entitlement are qualities of the people working on death marches at companies the DOJ said were illegally colluding to keep wages down, then what are the qualities of the heirs collecting dividends from these companies - expropriating the wealth of the surplus labor time of those creating the wealth. The system is the creation of heirs who never worked a day in your life, but you make the case of the parasites - that those actually working and creating wealth are the ones who are entitles, privileged etc.
Why would shorter wavelength light make computation faster? Silicon is a great absorber below about 1000nm so infrared wavelengths are used. 200nm is ultraviolet.
Does it really though? I love Webauthn. It is so much better than passwords. But I don't think it means the end of phishing. Phishers will evolve too and find new tricks. Just like they did here with OTP interception bots.

For example a phishing site could trick me into authenticating into a fake site, and give them a session at the real site as a result. They won't have my actual credentials but they could have a session which is enough to do a lot of damage.

I don't think Webauthn guarantees that the site I'm authenticating to is the site I'm supposed to (though I may be wrong here, I didn't read into it too deeply). As far as I know it still relies on TLS for that, and regular phishing and typosquatting show that this is not airtight. It would be great if the authentication worked both ways, the server would authenticate to the client as well as it does to the server.

It does raise a few other questions too. If every site uses Webauthn, I will have to update every site when I get a new yubikey. That's going to be a PITA.

A solution for that would be using an identity service.. Like "Sign in with Google". But I would never trust a commercial service like Google, Facebook, Microsoft for this. It would have to be something open and privacy-safe.
My parents graduated a while ago from Maille's "moutarde à l'ancienne" to Pommery - definitely the more sophisticated option. Maille's "moutarde à l'ancienne" isn't bad at all though and it is actually a slightly different variety so both can peacefully cohabitate in the same fridge. I still have a soft spot for Maille's "moutarde au poivre vert" I grew up with.
Isn't it more like if you see an image you own anywhere, you can claim ownership based on your NFT?

Could be hilarious if you ask someone to remove it from their site. You own 1% of it? Which pixels do you want recolored? :D
Less fluffy article than expected—worth a skim. Some excerpts:

> The workplace is so important to be able to create either a sanctuary for some, where they can have peace and quiet[1], and for others to have the sense of energy, belonging and social interaction[2].

> But [Slack] also recognises that working from home has been a fairly miserable experience, rather than a perk, for some staff. So, it has partnered with WeWork to give all staff on-demand access to a coworking space. Elliott says it’s been “a huge relief” to the people who really need to get out[2] of the space they were working in.

I'm glad we're starting to experiment with supporting more diverse, individualized work environment preferences (which aren't even always constant within one person). To add to the first point:

1) at-home quiet to focus away from office distractions
2) in-office camaraderie and energy
3) in-office quiet to focus away from home distractions
4) at-home conveniences like zero commute, family/pet time, laundry
5) in-office conveniences like gym, free food, mail room

> to entice staff back to offices… investment company Nuveen has put in new rooftop gardens for employees, complete with beehives.

Honey, that's now beecomb the worst perk hive ever heard of!
Just like how it works for stock grants unless you inherited them.
Sounds like OP is a proponent of scientism -- where the authority of scientists and their opinions form the basis of a worldview.

Scientists aren't priests. Once they become that, for one, science itself is in danger of stagnation.

You could say it proves that our worry about the climate has led to improvements in our response to climate-related dangers.

But it says nothing about our ability to respond to future, observably accelerating, climate dangers. It's an appeal to history.

"We have improved our ability in the past, therefore we'll improve it in the future, and reduce climate dangers further"

When actually you can't predict the future like that. What we're actually seeing is the potential for more 'points of no return' in terms of severity and impact of new climate dangers and more frequent climate dangers that could overwhelm our ability to respond and mitigate.

It's like saying a band-aids are better designed than ever to someone who's about to be stabbed 100 times.
