They have done this so they're not portrayed as soft on terror by the (mainly Murdoch) media. Yes, they're complicit, but I doubt they would have instigated this level of law if they were in power (though it's not out of the question).
I’m not sure I understand your issue with the previous comment, just because they are sending it to family at home doesn’t mean they are doing it in a lawful way or even that this is desirable or “good” economic behavior.
What Is Identity Proofing?
This is not even remotely accurate, see https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Recruiter&search=Face....

Recruiters at FB seem to earn ~50-60% of the total compensation of Engineers at equivalent levels, doing a bit better at the bottom of the ladder (I don't see a single IC3 recruiter earning under $100k in the US; they'd have to be earning ~60k to be earning "half of the base of an L3 with no RSUs").
Virtual Memory: Everything you need to know about it
I've never lived in the US, so I can't comment on the commute situation there, but I live and work in Paris proper and one of the main reasons "I don't want to go to the office" is the commute.

I need 30-45 minutes to get there, and our public transit system is supposedly good. But the metro's still too crowded, dirty, smelly, etc. And I even usually avoid rush hour and take an automated, hassle-free line.

Commuting by personal motorized vehicle is hell, so you can forget that.

I'm contemplating buying an electric bike, but only because I'm lucky I have a place to keep it secure both at the office and at home.

The situation may be better in smaller cities, but I think that this consideration still affects a quite sizable bunch of people (20% of the country's population lives in the Paris region).
The most productive workday I've ever had was when I met with my company's IT Helpdesk, and chose to work the rest of my day at an empty desk that was available. All the background noise acted as great white noise for me, and I could focus without distraction. As an ADHD'er, although I've gotten accustomed to it in the last year and change, my productivity takes a serious hit working remotely. I'm the only developer on my team in my office, the rest are on the other side of the country, but the benefit of going into the office for me is to have a productive workspace, less so than a collaborative one. I think my need is kinda niche though, and doesn't reflect most people's feelings about working from home.
Why would you pay for something with any crypto, no one wants to be the next guy to pay a billion dollars for a couple pizzas.

Last week my car wouldn't start when I was heading home. I called AAA and waited. And waited. After 2 hours I went to the street and it's 5 miles of housing developments one way and 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 fast food restaurants the other. I got a $30 Lyft after 4 hours of sitting in the dark at my office. AAA called at 3AM asking if I still needed service...

Why would I want to go to the office???
Where I live in Providence, Rhode Island this is explicitly forbidden. The local zoning codes regulate the number of kitchens allowed in a single-family house. Of course, lots of illegal apartments exist.

I think you've hit on more points than most people do. Another twin-factor for parents: the "bad" things like screens and snacks are cheap, the "good" things like attention/time/care, healthier food and (in some regards) formal education are increasingly expensive.

As a parent of three, I've definitely noticed how much they expect my attention versus what I can recall of the same from my parents (my childhood memories are primarily about playing with my siblings).
This is an important point. The transition to working from home is not "Here is a laptop with network access, try to ignore the pandemic, go", that is a recipe for a bad experience. Like wise, working from an office completely sucks if it is "Here is your cubical and desktop with network access, try to ignore the pandemic, go".

There are real traps when it comes to WFH that need to be considered, even outside COVID. Trying to work from the couch or bed is 'possible' but 99/100 a terrible idea. You will likely need a fairly dedicated space, setup that supports your workflows. These things take time to workout, and having a supportive company that gets this can make such a difference.

Once I found what works for me and was clear about what I expected from employers, things were generally a lot better. Saying that, if your bosses ever become heavily anti-WFH, they can make things suck pretty quickly, but the same bad office politics/dynamics I guess.
Eh, TikTok got a lot of heat for telling its moderators to downrank fat people, disabled people, and queer people, so this is not by any means one being better than the other. https://www.theverge.com/2019/12/2/20991843/tiktok-bytedance...
Yes facing a lot of issues because of this. Heroku seems very obstinate about it. Contacted their dev support and their reply was like this is what we have , we don't care about anything else.
Call me a skeptic, but there seem to be an awful lot of "accidental" collisions in and around the South China Sea region.

There is plenty of documented history about military leadership choosing to downplay engagements with hostile forces that may have spiraled out of control (Nighthawks over Soviet Russia that were hit by a novel use of radar fusion allowing part of their stealth capabilities to be unmasked) rather than announce in the present what really happened.

I don't doubt the integrity of the brave soldiers on that sub for a second, though, i hope i'm alive when the unmasked version of these events is out.

Or lack-of-trust. Sanitize your inputs, because the other side is always an evil actor.
Lots of alarms on metrics, with important ones connected to a pager. Issues prioritization comes down to someone forcing the team to fix an issue, whether that be customer support, another internal team, or a org wide mandate.

My team had pretty high thresholds for errors. We’d review dashboards weekly to see any trends or changes.
Shouldn't it also make you sick to read about prescription for exceptional hypergrowth from 500 to 5500 employees? It's not like everybody here will experience this kind of rapid growth. We also don't know how much of it is survivorship bias. What if there are cases where this approach contributed to failure, ie. because people were shifted from where their expertise actually was?
Invest in real estate starting as low as $5
It makes about as much sense to say that we spent $300B to save 70,000 people as it does to say that the US has spent trillions to kill 714,000.

One is not the cause of the other, in either direction.
JSON parsing isn't as hard as this very detailed article makes it out to be.

I've written JSON parsers in Perl, C, and Go.

My parsers pass all of the checks mentioned except for the ones regarding encoding and/or escape characters.

I intentionally only parse UTF-8. I intentionally don't do any parsing within strings except escaping of the ending double quote. Any string value is passed as is to the user of the library to further parse however they wish.

Likewise I store numbers as is in a string and provide helper functions to automatically fetch the numerically parsed value if desired.

With those restrictions it becomes very easy to write a JSON parser that works well in any number of languages.

I additionally support the following extensions:
1. Both // and /* */ comments
2. Trailing commas optional
3. Commas in arrays entirely optional
4. Hex literals in the form of x.[hex]
5. Custom literals in the form of [type name].[custom literal]
> They were met with regular uniformed police, like in the BLM protests that happened multiple times in the last 12-18 months.

There were uniformed police there as well but they were definitely met by public order response teams who are much more heavily armoured/equipped and travel around in vehicles with blacked out windows. [1] [2] [3]

I agree that there is a bad tendency to look at Chinese people as brainwashed drones. But you're going too far in the opposite direction. China's media control, educational policies, and army of nationalists absolutely affect the Overton window in the Chinese public sphere. You can't tell me with a straight face that it's acceptable to discuss Taiwan independence online in a positive way in China.

If someone genuinely feels that mainstream opinion in China is wrong on Taiwan, they aren't going to be comfortable discussing it openly.
12 of those articles are preprints - they effectively do not exist currently.
I'm curious. Why? Amazon pays competitively, and they're the biggest player in online retail and cloud services. Why wouldn't engineers want to work for them?
I have come to a similar conclusion. Where the fuck am I supposed to go? Everywhere has problems, shit laws, and social issues.
Your article is really easy to get through and digest. I'd like to keep it as a reference going forward. Please consider adding a floating TOC to the page.
I thought that almost all Vancouver SFHs are now permitted to be turned into duplexes?

I came across one in a Mission Beach forest far north Queensland in the early 2000's. I ducked behind the nearest tree. When it came to check me out, I just moved around the tree and kept doing that as it persisted to check me out. It didn't appear pissed off. It was just curious I think. After doing this for about 5 minutes it walked off.

I can confirm that it is a big bugger and had big fat legs.
That is probably misleading because it only addresses one tiny portion of the tirade the other poster went on.

Are many folks hesitant to get it? Yes. Is it for the reasons mentioned? Who knows.

One thing is clear - lots of people are doing things that are getting them in deep, deep pain because of BS, rumor mongering, and fear. It’s pretty terrible.
>> a single point of failure, is pretty concerning.

If is it concerning, we must have a definition of "failure". Does failure mean the inability to fly a route as planned? If so then we cannot fly any routes via GPS that we cannot fly without GPS. So GPS doesn't really add any efficiencies. But if we instead define failure as "danger to life" then we can accept that when GPS fails we will use the other systems to get aircraft to a safe landing, even if flights don't complete as planned. Under that definition we can still enjoy the efficiencies of GPS without maintaining a backup that can instantly replace all GPS functions.

This is very important in a military context too. If you always need a 100% backup at the ready then you cannot ever use a novel system. Any new system won't have a backup that is 100% equal. So to leverage new tech you must accept the risk that you may loose some abilities should it fail. If you won't use the new toy until it has a 100% backup, you will end up never playing with any new toys/weapons.
I've been using the Pixel 4a 5G for about 6 months with MicroG and Lineage. Works really well. Other than Whatsapp and Google Maps I don't miss anything, but those apps have alternatives too.
These arguments about the NIMBYs are a bit ridiculous.

Every community has the right to build, or not, as they chose.

You have no say in someone else's community.

Even then, Vancouver has added quite a bit over the last 25 years.

Finally, the notion that 'constant building' will make homes more affordable is just not true, the most dense places in the US are among the most expensive.

Given that this is a different bit of land, under different governance, they can do as they please, that's fine.
I had that groundhog-day effect for a while too, living in California. Then I moved to Montana. It's impossible not to notice time here. The leaves changed colour, it snowed, it rained, it was hot, and the leaves changed colour again. My daily routine is a bit monotonous, sure, but the world pulls me into it.

Spirit & Frontier (and Ryanair in Europe among others) are actually classed as ULCC's (ultra low cost), where everything is nickel and dimed.

At the higher end, it certainly isn't necessarily the best any more, but I do think that's mostly because Southwest has kept to its two free checked bags, whereas the major carriers now make significant revenues from checked bag fees.
Google sheets is clearly terrible, but Excel's competition is older versions of Excel (and maybe Apache/Libre/OpenOffice.org(tm)). How many people are excited to upgrade to the latest Excel? Or do they dread to find how Microsoft has messed it up some more.
Yes, if others can build well.

Or alternatively:

1. Give one Lego away to someone.

2. That someone messes up something immediately.

3. Take that one Lego back.

4. Repeat 1-3 many times. Thinking, how to help somebody to not just mess up everything? And, is it possible to delegate or grow?

I don't think "engineering work" and "leadership work" should be a dichotomy, especially if you're trying to follow a promote-from-within mentality.

Sure, after N years, you might be career-tracked from development into management, but you probably also know where all the bodies are buried. If you're not doing code reviews, trying to mentor new developers, or just butting in and saying "We tried that in 2006 and it has huge non-obvious compliance/performance/maintainability costs!", it lets all that knowledge go to waste.
I think it all comes down to the aesthetics and user experience. The Lean webpage is inviting and modern. Coq’s website looks like it’s from the 90s. Lean’s integration with Visual Studio Code is clean and user friendly. The language itself is familiar and polished. The imprimatur of a Microsoft team producing Lean being makes it seem more sophisticated.

Sounds like someone is losing their mind, and it probably has little to do with any facts or what is going on with the vaccine.

Vaccine mandates have existed since shortly after vaccines existed, and for good reason. Because otherwise thousands or millions of people end up dead that didn’t need to, often completely innocent folks who never even had a choice in the matter, and often horribly to boot.

Huge numbers of folks have had these vaccines and the fatality rates and serious hospitalizations have plummeted because of it.

I had the vaccine, everyone I know has had the vaccine - zero serious problems whatsoever. And for me personally, when I had to take care of my 2 year old because he caught covid, so I had a highly infectious toddler screaming in my face for hours sometimes? It probably saved my life. It definitely saved my father in laws life.

It still sucked though.
Good way to de-risk the possibility of a CCP invasion of Taiwan destroying world wide chip production.
There is a bridge in the sculpture garden of the New Orleans Museum of Art that has you walking over the lagoon on about a dozen historical paths of the Mississippi, stretched somewhat straight.

The photo on their site really does not do it justice: https://noma.org/collection/mississippi-meanders/

Walking along it and thinking about how we've tried to keep it in place for the past few hundred years, and the ephemerality of human affairs, is an interesting experience. Especially if you live along its course.
The concept of a scaling startup is used to juice the internal brainwash so that everyone feels they are 1) part of a successful company and 2) destined for career growth.

There are many companies that label themselves as startups despite not actually being startups I would also expect that many of those companies also consider themselves to be 'scaling startups' as well.
I agree that Australia is being used as the canary in the coalmine for these authoritarian-leaning laws because the Australian people are, in general, entirely apathetic to politics that doesn't immediately affect them (Australians historically vote for the simple, and therefore unlikely in reality, immediate advantage - often in the form of tax cuts or inverse threats of tax hikes - at the expense of the future) - which therefore normalises these laws for the rest of the 5-eyes / western world.

I have my thought-fingers around an idea to offer some kind of privacy-as-a-service service, but it'd have to be incorporated outside of Australia and its ownership made opaque through the use of shell companies - thankfully (/s) Australia has no legislation against conducting business in the country with such untraceable ownership (I think it was the Panama Papers that revealed both Wilson[0][1] Security and SA Power Networks[2][3] had opaque international ownership structures and it was essentially unknown which individuals were actually responsible for their operations - Wilson Security has government contracts and SA Power Networks literally run the power grid in South Australia).

Australia doesn't have a terrorism problem, and yet is leading the charge in writing legislation to combat it. It smells long-rotten, but most of the Australian population have their noses buried in their socials.

Australia has a corporate tax collection problem that neither side of government want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

The small fish are easy to catch and therefore easy to score political points from. Legislation follows from this realization.

> Sadly the rest of the development in Vancouver is no where near the pace it needs to be to keep housing prices down, so this is merely a drop in the bucket.

This is by design. The Vancouver market is aimed at rich foreigners trying to park questionnably acquired assets in a western jurisdiction. Often the house(s) will even be counted as "investment" to acquire citizenship. The income to house price is way better barely three hours south in the Puget Sound anyways.

> I kind of wish developers would just start developing multi-plexes illegally.

Why would they? They cost more to build, Create more supply and the buyers aren't price sensitive (remember, they are getting dirty money out of China). Better make sure there's as little supply as possible to get the best price.
I can tell you haven’t worked in a regulated industry, there is almost no regulation.

Most of the stuff you list is simple stuff done to meet KYC rules that most exchanges were initially delinquent in implementing and only did so when it was pointed out the obvious liability they were taking on not implementing them.

For regulated securities products there are all sort of approvals needed from the product itself to the marketing materials. There are rules about suitability of the product, transparency over commissions and fees, licensing and registration of market participants, market data rules.

That’s all just the tip of the iceberg.

I may be a prude but it’s a real concern to me when people lie as part of their work/career.

If you were lying at the start of your career, you’re probably still lying now? Maybe?

IMO if the states that are in the mud had taken proper precautions before they did, they wouldn't be in this mess and the cops wouldn't have had an opportunity to abuse their power like they definitely are in say, NSW.

This is always the best approach. It's not like you need to make it perfect and unbreakable, just annoying enough to get in to relative to the value of doing so.
Sure, China is not as homogeneous as what it could be. Yet is it preserving diversity? Through its enforcement of standards and nationalism, the CCP has been clear that it has no interest in making China more multicultural.
