Try to find positions where they care more about your thought process and your past experience than in your ability to memorize facts about computers. I'm pretty good at my job and make pretty good software (I think), but I couldn't tell you how to form a red-black tree or do a bubble sort. I routinely look up simple Python syntax and how to articles on bash, but nonetheless I get good jobs, and I can reason about a problem and I can read and understand technical documentation. I started barely knowing Python and googling literally everything, like for loop syntax. I'm not going to be the next big name, but I have satisfaction in life and do ok.

There needs to be a transition project headed up by influential leaders, and they need to set out the synergy goals - things like what important services or features are key, which side will lead important aspects in the future etc…

Without a clear plan and good communications down to the lowest levels from above there are a number of ways chaos can ensue… not just technical differences but as you say org and people issues mainly.

Once the commercials are agreed someone needs to take the reigns on the transition aspects ASAP.

In legal terms, they’re not exactly the same.

You are managing the projects etc. as a service being provided under contract.

You are not being granted actual authority to act as an agent of the company.

The clause they are slipping in actually protects you both. If you are appointed as an agent (expressly or by implication) then you become a fiduciary for them which might give you obligations that aren’t necessary spelled out in the contract.

So, this isn’t a clause most well advised people push back on.

If they do still need to sign on behalf of the company in some discreet situations they look into getting a limited power of attorney instead. Safer and clearer for both parties.

Not legal advice of course. I assume your own attorney would have explained this to you anyway.
Companies in the US realized that up until a year ago, they didn't have to pay SF salaries to people who aren't in SF, because most cities don't have so many tech jobs laying around that you have to literally flag recruiters' as spam.

Post-covid, where many companies are allowing remote work, it's not at all so clear cut for them. You don't need to leave your hometown and move to a booming tech industry anymore, so paying people who live outside the bay as if they have no other options is resulting in a lot of the big tech companies' hiring pipelines drying up. Hopefully they figure it out

In Europe this is required in European grants, but also in many country specific funding agencies as well.

In 2018, 11 European research-funding organizations formed what is known as cOAlition S with the primary objective to ensure full, immediate, open access to all publications containing research data obtained in projects funded by its member agencies. The chief premises of cOAlition S were laid down in Plan S, which is scheduled for implementation in June 2020. So nowadays when someone wins grants from these agencies he’s required to publish his results in open access.

It’s not ideal, because many people reserve grant money for open access fees but AFAIK the policy also allows to publish behind paywall as long as you provide publicly available copy in repository (institutional or public like arxiv etc). In my opinion the second option is much better (as it saves money), but not all journals allow to put copy of the article in public repos (sometimes they require that the public version is either before editor’s revisions or puts some time embargo, like a year or 6 months, for publishing final version of the article).
In every big transaction,” said Leech, “there is a magic moment during which a man has surrendered a treasure, and during which the man who is due to receive it has not yet done so. An alert lawyer will make that moment his own, possessing the treasure for a magic microsecond, taking a little of it, passing it on. If the man who is to receive the treasure is unused to wealth, has an inferiority complex and shapeless feelings of guilt, as most people do, the lawyer can often take as much as half the bundle, and still receive the recipient’s blubbering thanks.”

No, a VDF just proves that, given a certain input, you spent a certain amount of time to compute the unique (!) VDF output. As said, this computation must be carried out sequentially. Of course, it can still be sped up by creating an ASIC (the same technology used for Bitcoin miners nowadays). However, there is not point in running multiple ASICs (like a Bitcoin mining farm) because the computation cannot be parallelized and the output is unique. Thus, running one ASIC has exactly the same effect as running thousands ASICs and there is no energy waste.

No, no, back up a second. The argument being made in the parent comment is that once there is one entity with enough stake in the network to dictate where it goes, they can just pull out before tanking the network.

But my understanding was that you can only have enough stake in the network to make decisions...by having that stake in the network. If you un-stake your crypto and cash out, by definition, you no longer have any stake in the network. If you no longer have any stake, how do you have a controlling stake?

I think I learned to not let HAM take my Christmas holidays. I found a recurring pattern where I would tackle some difficult project during the holiday. Before I knew it the holidays were gone and I was back to work.

I am starting to realise that we often replace busy work with other busy things. HAM for example. I have rediscovered walking and the outdoors and am happier for it.

My wife has never had an issue with my HAM hobby. She did tell me off after I fell out of a tree when trying to put up a new antenna. I obviously didn't learn my lesson though as I recently fell off a ladder while working on my shed. Now the lesson has been definitely learned. The last fall rattled me.
>I don't think that the Nigerian scammers are necessarily unsophisticated. Their scam emails intentionally contain enough red flags that any reasonably intelligent person will recognize the scam and not reply.

The "nigerian scams" are extremely unprofitable compared to even mildly sophisticated scams like BEC or basic craigslist scams. I think it's safe to say that they're unsophisticated.

>That said, there are certainly plenty of stories about Nigerian scammers who are themselves not very bright or perceptive (is the 401Eater website still up and running?).

Yeah, because the actually intelligent ones are generally running very different scams.
ETH2 was years in the making, with multiple delays and not fully migrated yet precisely because of how unsafe standard PoS is. Vitalik and co spent years researching the best mitigations.

Right now, it seems to be one of the best protected PoS chains. It's still fairly new, with novel mitigations, so it still doesn't stand the test of time against all possible attack vectors.

In that sense, it still can't be considered as secure as a PoW chain with high hashrate, which is protected by thermodynamics (you can't produce more hashes than the physical energy you have access to allows).

Ok. So the laptop is managed by nobody, and HR has to configure SSO integrations?

Please.

Also, nobody has mentioned datacenters, datacenters are optional these days; the configuration of the software platform (whether it’s managed or not) still needs a somewhat competent technical person to make decisions and handle the implementation.

If you want to put that on your devs. That’s fine.

Kind of, I just decide to focus on rendering graphics/GUIs or compiler dev stuff instead, as game development is hard, pays bad and expects everyone to work like slaves while being thankful of having given the opportunity to work on a game, only to be laid off at the end of a crunch cycle just because.

Having seen how the sausage gets made has made the lose the interest of being part of such industry.

If you want to have fun doing games, try some retro game development, homebrew, or game jams.

Naturally there are studios where the above doesn't apply, sadly they are still mostly the exception, on an industry that carries crunch time as medal of honor.

Not a dev, sysadmin, but I agree, I find technical books exceptionally boring.

My example is from the Windows Internals books, it’s a great book, but I don’t think the authors could write it in a “gripping” way, that’s just technical books.

What I do however be it books or video is chunks, takes MUCH longer to do but I find for me it sticks, so if in my learning season (I do bursts of learning, burn out leave it for a couple of months, rinse repeat),

- Read a section or chapter
- Make quick, rapid notes in my notes app (or notebook, I use bear but whatever suits yourself)
- Once I’ve done, go to sleep (I normally study at night, my brains more in a learning mode then for me)
- Maybe at dinner time (at work) I go through my notes, if it’s something I feel may benefit my colleagues I make a brief PowerPoint, I try to translate it into a less technical write up, not everyone is super technical, it’s just a job to them!.

I have a terrible memory for learning, I remember things long term great, short term not so much, so I reference my notes a lot, it’s essentially my mind map/bank.

Video learning is very subjective, I’m currently learning Cisco Umbrella and it’s very boring to me, the creators voice is very mono tone and boring to the point I’ve nearly fallen asleep, but other creators (mostly in the Microsoft MVP zone) are very lively, a good mix of demos and theory that keep me engaged and actively want to learn, Pluralsight is the same, keeps me awake and motivated, I found CBT a little on the boring side in comparison.

You approach a problem with your emotions and that has never given any result.

The online world has been, from its inception, a foundation for creativity, knowledge, entertainment, communication, and so much more. When a malicious party recognizes the power of the online world and starts to abuse it for their own gain, if you TRULY support all that is the online world, you shouldn't allow such parties to exist.

In other words, it's pathologically stupid to allow freedom of expression to be exploited against freedom of expression.

If you're not flexible, you break at the slightest bent.
It's definitely an enterprise of some sort, and hence probably qualifies for many kinds of checks and laws.

For good or ill, a common pattern is (1) someone just does it. (2) it attracts regulatory oversight/action/whatnot (3) regulation becomes actually functional.(3.5) the incumbent now has advantage. PayPal, Uber, etc.

What's the alternative? Ban it? Create a framework regulating something that does not exist?

> The idea that the car might randomly override my inputs in error

I don’t recall ever saying anything like this happened.

My discussion about phantom braking is when autopilot is on. There is no input from me unless I have to or choose to take over.

If you don’t want any of the automatic features (autopilot, lane assist, FSD, etc.), they are all trivially easy to turn off or not use.

Seriously, just go drive one. The way you talk about a Tesla, as though it will just yoink control at any moment from someone who wants full control, is about as far as you can get from the reality.

The idea of “tolerating” undesired behavior in a driver assist process in a car seems… pretty normal? That’s why settings exist — you don’t have to tolerate anything that passes your own tolerance threshold.

I don’t know how many folks you know in real life who actually drive teslas, but the narrative that you describe and the narrative that the people I know who own and drive teslas are about as far apart as it can get. [1]

[1] There is a caveat that folks who bought new models right after they were released had a lot of build issues. That’s pretty unforgivable from the Tesla side, imho. That said, it’s a known issue. Let other people guinea pig the new models. Tesla eventually gets it very right.

And imperialism improved British cooking. And US expansionism destroyed Native American cooking.

From this we conclude .... what, exactly?

Did communism destroy Vietnamese cooking? A look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_cuisine suggests it did not. What about Chinese cuisine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_cuisine again suggests otherwise.

If not, why did communism cause a problem in Soviet culinary practices but not in Vietnam?

And if not, can we really attribute the problem to "Communism"?

To be sure, the starvation and re-education camps of both China and Vietnam must not be forgotten (nor the brutal treatment of Native Americans by US expansionism, nor British racist colonial authority).

My question instead it, what's the point of the title? "The Soviet Union Destroyed Russian Cooking" would be both more correct and more accurate.

As it is, it sounds like Reason's usual method of over-generalizing to dismiss anything which is not free-market libertarian.

You haven't addressed the parent commenter's point though: that PoW will cause increase of energy consumption every time you make any progress in making energy cheaper, hence cancelling out any improvements energy production efficiency.

It would only be benefitial if after a certain level of efficiency were achieved, PoW got banned and all that efficiency increase could actually benefit consumers of energy that did not have to keep increasing spend to keep up (though even that's not sure, because if energy becomes 10x cheaper, it's just a matter of time for people to invent new creative ways to use all that cheap energy that's prohebitevely expensive right now).

Found out that I have ADHD. Never managed to read any books about programming, after a few pages my brain starts making up excuses to do other things and I start rereading the same paragraph over and over again.

No issues doing the actual programming, could sit for hours on end without any issues.

One nifty thing about my ADHD is that something that was super interesting can become dull as hell. For no apparent reason.

Issues with focus, staying on task and motivation are generic issues that everyone has. Just like everyone gets sad or down sometimes. When it becomes a constant problem that affects your life, that's when it becomes a depression and needs treatment. ADHD is similar, except that it doesn't really come and go but is more of an undulating constant.

Tesla is a surveillance company. Their product isn't a car in the traditional sense, it's a worldwide video feed of public roads, and complete surveillance of the people with the highest disposable income along with a variety of ways of coercing them into shelling out for upgrades every time they come up with a new shiny.

So don't compare them with toyota, compare them with apple and it makes a lot more sense. All the top tech companies work the same way. Vendor and ecosystem lockin, forced depreciation of old products that aren't currently extracting profit, and selling surveillance.
