I can't wait to see how https://stratechery.com will defend this as a good perspective for Meta or FB. I studied Philip Morris for a paper in undergrad. PM played their fiddle perfectly to the tune of "we didn't know enough to be directly and intentionally wrong." It mirrors Facebook's attempts to be good and let the bad happen while creating smoke and mirrors for the media and government.

this is why nowadays I prefer to use query builders (like knex - knexjs.org) instead of ORMs. You can optimise your queries without having huge blobs of raw SQL in the middle of model code, and you can build models (or service objects, as I prefer) manually that are completely transparent.

Those teachers were very often enablers. And to add to it, had they tried to actually deal with issues instead of blaming victim or expecting the victim to just take it, the overall situation might have been better.

The words in fact can hurt and always did. Men used to kill each other over who said what. Words can damage reputations and make other kids mistreat the victim too.

It is easier to say the above sentence then to deal with kids verbally abuse others. It is easier to tell the victim to shut up then to teach the victim to defend himself, to undo damage to their self confidence and so on.
I'm not trapped at all, I don't work with these kind of people. Most normal humans do though.

Good job getting personal and showing contempt towards a significant portion of your fellow humans. And wilfully closing your eyes towards what normal HR policies look like around the globe.
Imagine if we really did tokenization of assets? This type of fraud would be much easier (steal password vs months long identity theft), and impossible to reverse.
I think it's an interesting idea but it's a much larger problem than you're saying - your perspective is from the narrow position of knowledge work that pushes information around, and it doesn't really matter when the information gets pushed around. But out in the real world, where things need to physically come together for economic activity to occur, synchronization is a huge deal. If you want a store to be open from 9AM, someone has to be there at 9AM. People will rely on that store being open at the stated time. It's not just ER staff - almost any other profession you care to name will not function properly if people just turn up whenever.

HubSpot | Senior+ Engineer(s), Infrastructure Orchestration | Boston, MA or Remote (US-based) | Full-time

Hi! I'm an infrastructure engineering leader at HubSpot.

HubSpot is a marketing, sales, and services platform for growing businesses, and we're looking for senior engineer(s) for our lowest-level infrastructure provisioning / orchestration / tooling teams. One of our big projects revolves around building an end-to-end declarative representation of our infrastructure based entirely around Kubernetes and composable custom resource definitions (CRDs).

For our standard applications, a deploy is done with the push of a button and app developers do not need to think about Kubernetes manifests or even the existence of Kubernetes at all. So that portion of the problem is already completed at scale. What remains is handling all of the lower-level pieces of infrastructure and stateful services which are not easy to generalize for. We do this by extending Kubernetes with additional building blocks, rather than attempting to make an all-encompassing framework for doing so since such a framework would approach the complexity of Kubernetes itself. It can almost be thought of as building a lower-level PaaS for infrastructure teams.

With this model, each infra team builds CustomResourceDefinitions and operators to represent their services. For example:

- The Kafka team allows for creating a Kafka cluster via a KafkaCluster CRD

- The Kafka operator creates the ZooKeeper cluster (an underlying dependency) for that with a ZooKeeperCluster CRD, which is handled by the ZooKeeper team's operators

- Those operators get all of the secrets they need via our SecretTemplate CRD, handled by Infra Orch's kube secret operator (which injects Vault secrets into appropriate Kubernetes secrets)

The vision is to use CRDs for every un-automated corner of infrastructure, all the way down to the EC2 VPCs themselves. We're striving to reach a point where creating a new data center is done by applying the CRDs that define the top-level clusters, and everything else automatically is configured end-to-end with no manual human effort. For any case where there is a common problem that all teams running on Kubernetes must solve, our job is to find an abstraction for that problem.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out to me (tpetr@hubspot.com), or apply directly via https://www.hubspot.com/careers/jobs/3212851

Thanks for reading!

Love the suggestions and imagination with what’s possible, I think a lot of that is achievable using the existing technologies. I can see the future of AR, instead of buying a TV and a separate Netflix/content subscription, the content subscription would come with the ability to project its channels directly onto the walls using AR!
No, we love the changes. We want to wake up a certain amount of time after the sun rises and be on time to work/school. We then want the maximum amount of possible daylight in the afternoon/evening.

We don't like DST in the winter because for many people this requires waking up in the dark if the time they have to get to work/school remains the same.

the commission can wait for a parliament that will pass its legislation

What law have they broken that they should be punished under?

The tricky thing about the digital space continues to be that, in general, it is under-regulated. It's not whether or not companies have broken laws; it's that there are so rarely laws to break.

COPPA is the only one I can think of that might possibly apply here, and nothing in COPPA says you can't build a service for 6-year-olds (only that if you're going to, it must be done carefully).
"[M]ost used tools" are not the things that really annoy people. It's the "least used critical tools" -- the things that you absolutely need to do, but only once every few months. They often involve loading three layers of progressively older control panels.

This is a failure brought by the overreliance on data and telemetry to show what is "most used," without regard for what is most important.
From the perspective of the buyer, I don’t care how exactly the owner removes the tenant. It is immaterial to me. What I care about is that no tenant occupies the property I am purchasing. If the owner cannot guarantee that, eg. they cannot legally evict a tenant, that’s fine, I simply wont buy the property, it is the owner’s problem, not mine.
I'd be fine with either DST or summer/winter hours -- they're just alternate implementations of the same thing.

But coordinating a mass switch between summer and winter hours twice a year seems like it would end up being more effort for regular people than just shifting the clocks in their house, especially now that so many of the clocks we use are internet-connected and switch automatically.
Walmart | Software Engineer III | 221 River St, Hoboken, NJ | Onsite

https://walmart.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/WalmartExternal/job/US...

We're looking for another Java/Kotlin developer for our team. We're building a backend service that supports a new Walmart health & wellness app. You'll be working on stuff like GraphQL, Koin, Ktor, Kubernetes. Experience with these is nice to have, but by no means a requirement. If you're willing to put the effort into learning, we'll teach you.

I've been on the Hoboken Health & Wellness team for a couple years now. It's pretty great. Lovely offices, good compensation ($WMT is doing well too), actual respected work life balance. The work culture in the team & office is more like start-up than global conglomerate. Owing to it being mostly made up of former Jet.com engineers.
NIST Security Controls to Focus on During, and After, a Crisis
In times like these, attacks are exponentially more prevalent throughout some of our most prominent sectors. For information security leaders who have been working toward the measurement, implementation, and communication of best practices, or who are in the midst of adoption of industry standards such as the NIST CSF, time and resources may be constrained. Thus, prioritizing security initiatives that provide the most resilience against the most frequent attacks is key to an organization’s success. Better yet, communicating these activities in a way that business-side leadership understands is crucial to resourcing activities efficiently and keeping everyone from their employees, to customers, to partners safe.
I think many folks, especially in northern latitudes, will regret the early summer sunsets or sunrises if we were to stay on standard time year round.

This is, for me, the only argument that matters. I live in the Netherlands, which has significant seasonal changes in daily sunlight.

So, in the summer there is extra light. Do you want this sunlight between 5.45 and 6.45 or between 21.00 and 22.00?

I choose the latter, as the light in the (very) early morning is simply of no use to me at all.

Of course, if we got rid of DST, we could all just agree to get up earlier in the summer. Maybe we could even standardize that by agreeing to all start getting up earlier on the same day each spring. :-)

This is exactly what DST is. Agreeing to all get up earlier.
...thus being much, much faster than any onboard cache, presumably. In such a configuration, benchmarks with and without onboard cache would be fun.
Crypto in general is extremely speculative, but no one knows if it will prove to be a success or failure, so claiming any one investing in any crypto "deserves to lose everything" is unjustified by the facts.
Great point. Mail-in voting is a disgraceful corruption of the voting process. You'd think that the elementary task of getting rid of it would be a shoe-in bipartisan issue. Not so fast, this is USA, the beacon of hope for democracy in the world. Or have we moved on to identity based rights instead? I'm losing track of the excuses.

People who continue to work Facebook at are going to face tough questions not just from current-day peers, but from future generations about why they willingly continued to work for such a company when there were no shortage of other opportunities available to them. At this point, engineers have to weigh the ability to work on "cool technical problems" at FB vs the serious risk of historical/reputational stain on one's legacy.

Actually, winter time is zero-indexed, and summer time has an index of one. “Real hours” depends on whether you like C or SQL more.
Um, pretty much every outdoor activity? Hiking, yard work, sports, and even just socializing outdoors are pretty dramatically affected by the sun going down.
The danger is from companies building massive centralized archives of people's interpersonal comunications, behaviors and ideas. The data is already available for nefarious purposes internally. I'd be more interested in knowing how rampant the abuse of the data already is.
I see two parts to handling this tendency, which I have much less of today compared to a few years ago.

1. Finding an outlet and 'healing the wound'. Negativity is there for a reason. Things happened during life that made it necessary or even a viable strategy to solve some situations. If suppressed, or even managed (see #2), it will resurface either as anger/rage or physical illness. To really heal it I went to therapy and to group sessions with the firm goal of expressing my daily as well as lifelong anger and frustrations. One book which I like and can help start the healing process is "Letting Go" by David Hawkins.

2. How I express myself with others. Sometimes I really don't want to express this negativity, so I can use tools from the coaching world. I'll give a few examples:
- assume good intentions. Be it with people you know or complete strangers, if you notice yourself being negative, first STOP. Then imagine the party you are negative about having the best intentions possible, and then re-write the mental story. For example, if you get cut off by another driver and notice you are angry at them, STOP (mentally) and consider that they are having a really shitty day and weren't paying attention. They made a mistake, a really honest one.

- ask questions to find out the other person's intentions. If you notice negativity in you about a person you know, consider asking them clarifying questions about the situation that brought about the negativity. For example, if a friend ghosts you, yoi might call a few days later and say, 'hey, did you see my text a few days ago? I was kinda bummed you didn't answer. Is everything ok between us?'

I hope this helps.
The word you're looking for is speculation.
I think you underestimate the areas where full (or significant) staff is needed. What about manufacturing jobs, farming, transportation and logistics (especially transportation of ppl not goods), services (including public services).

I'd say all the services which require face to face interaction will become way more costly if such buffers will be needed to cover off hours. For example: there is a notion of skeleton crew and the service might not be operational without that crew so the choice is actually to spread the cost of off hours low load to the high load hours or close the business for low load hours.
What you call "the entire concept of noon" is extremely minor concept in timekeeping for most humans. What's important, is when they work, when places are open, and when other humans are awake.
The breaking in is not really that hard. It could be a simple as calling a locksmith, telling them you were out of town on business and lost your keys, and asking them to re-key or replace the locks.

If you've got the ID to sell the house, you certainly have enough ID to convince anyone else.
Alas it wouldnt be a remake or a superhero franchise. The best I can probably hope for is Charlie Brooker seeing it.

And, if he writes a screenplay about it that probably means it already happened.
Both population control and a sustainable lifestyle.
Structured concurrency only partially helps. You still have to be aware of what state is being used and modified within the threads of execution so that you properly lock them. It does not remove the need for some equivalent to mutexes and locks unless each thread of execution is known to use and modify different pieces of state (like thread 0 modifies a[0], 1 modifies a[1], etc.).

If there's any overlap you have to have a lock-equivalent that ensures the desired section of code runs atomically (relative to others using the same pieces of state). Or you need some kind of transaction system that can retry a stateful change.
Madrid's solar noon is around 1 PM during standard time and 2 PM during summer time, the rest of Spain is a bit off from this, and I noted when I lived there that the Spanish custom seems to be to keep later hours.
It also now has an efficiency of 0.05 lm/watt, 200 times less than a standard "planned obsolescence" tungsten filament light bulb and 3000 times less than a modern LED bulb.

Planned obsolescence is a thing, but it is often a trade-off, not just companies being evil. By making things less durable, you can also make them cheaper, lighter, more efficient,... You also have to take technological progress into account. Your old dishwasher may last for 50+ years but it is heavy, loud, wastes water and electricity... So you may prefer a cheaper dishwasher that only lasts 10 years because you may want to change it later anyways because the energy savings of a new one can make keeping the old one not worth it.

There are cases of planned obsolescence that are, in my opinion, inexcusable (looking at you smartphone manufacturers) but lightbulb longevity is a worthwhile trade-off.
I need an expert to explain something to me:

If we enable E2E encryption on the end points, why do we care if Huawei makes it since the local gov't retains local monopoly of force? The reasons I can think of are:

- meta-data
- denial of infrastructure. This is a big reason and a good enough reason.

Aside from reason number two, I really don't see the security threat. Not to minimize the threat of meta-data, but I think, on a national level, it too is solvable for the sovereign (by, for example, having phones make fake random calls to each other to poison the information)

EDIT: For the record, my question is genuine - I really want to understand this - and not some backhanded way to defend Huawei
