A literary eternal september is a super provocatively interesting idea, when do you think it happened, who would be pre- and post- participants, and what were its consequences? It's such an evocative metaphor for what happened online, but also for any kind of gentrification or progress.
Japan is, as ever, complicated. On paper, there are strong labor protections, even salaried employees need to be paid hourly overtime and the concept of "oncall" is foreign to labor law: either you're fully on the clock or not. In reality, many of these regulations are cheerfully ignored and unpaid overtime is quite common, but there is wide variance between companies.

It's about time, Twitter has failed to deliver for far too long and it's pretty clear things had to seriously change. I think the details of the structure are probably unimportant - these reorganisations are more about moving people up or out. It's all a bit academic since it'll all change once Twitter is acquired anyway.
Let's compare it with the baseline alternative, the fiat currency called the US dollar - Call it $1USD, no vote.

With USD, the long-run target inflation rate as stated by the Federal Reserve is 2% per year. Seems small, some would argue - a small price to pay to avoid the dreaded risk of deflation. (Side note: why is deflation expected and approved of in computers and electronics but not healthcare or higher education?)

What if I told you that the average worker who works for wages for 40 years, will lose 40% of the value of their lifetime earnings if inflation was 'only' 2% per year? What if I told you that the current inflation rate according to official sources is over twice the target inflation rate and all signs indicate it will remain elevated for years to come?

What if I told you that the real problem with fiat currency is all the trust required? What if I told you that as a worker you now have an alternative to store a portion of your wages in a currency that is engineered using properties of digital scarcity, incredible security, and ingenious game theory to preserve, store, and even grow the purchasing power of your savings at a long-term rate of return that greatly exceed the rate of inflation or the performance of even the riskiest stocks.

Why is it bad for workers to have another option for storing their savings, an option that doesn't leak value due to manipulation by centralized actors? No one is forced to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a choice. IMO Bitcoin is the better choice. YMMV.
I get what you're saying, but result matters a lot still.
Depends what's on the dashboard and how the data has to be transformed for display. I've worked on several such dashboards and never had to use Web Workers to solve the performance issues, these were usually caused by UI rendering not optimized for loads of data. Now, the workers can help with rendering too, for example to render a chart off the main thread, but the libraries that support this usually hide the worker magic behind an API.
No, I don't think so. His design respects the inherent latency to accelerate a looooog set of elastics. Instead of stretching a set of elastics over a long distance, he uses a heavy bundle and stretches them over a short distance. It still takes a lot of effort to get that stretch, but all that energy is released extremely fast..as the elastics don't have to travel very far to do so.
Anyone who starts with "antisemitic" is brainwashed so it doesn't make sense to even talk to you. Do you even know what "semitic" means? "Semitic" would include Islam & Christianity.

The answer you're looking for is Austrian economics. Stop printing trillions of dollars and giving them to Wall Street. Have positive interest rates (5-10%) that encourage loans to be paid off, rather than servicing never ending life debt. End the asset bubble, and let natural technological price deflation take its course across all sectors.

I'm not going to assert that if this were to happen, that it would certainly solve our problems (with its corollary of closing my eyes to the problems if they don't go away). But our current economy emphasizes centralized planning over distributed capital, without even getting the benefits of central planning - government spending for people is Evil, while prolifigate government spending for corporations is routine. And the current policies (busted inflation metrics, "full employment" mandate) guarantees this will only get worse.

Politically this criticism has been taken off the table - the red team pretends to be fiscally conservative while giving away trillions in corporate welfare, while the blue team advocates for even more government spending to mitigate the damage caused. This managed zeitgeist may be a result of the inevitability in your comment, but there is indeed a framework that doesn't just conclude "welp, that's capitalism".

It's always interesting how people view taxation as punishment, as if the money just disappears into a black hole instead of being used for bettering the lives of everyone in the country. America could easily fund universal health care, which would be a massive boost to quality of life, if they taxed bigtech a bit more.

Instead you have Americans refusing to go to the doctor because they're afraid of the bill.

That seems unfair.

If you get paid time-off, then that is paid at your normal rate of pay, and you don't have to work for it.

If you work one day during your PTO, then surely that work should be compensated at your daily rate of pay, in addition to your pay for time-off. Why should you work a day at half-pay?

So working during paid time-off should be compensated at double-time.

Time-and-a-half was customary in the UK for overtime, in the days of trades unions. The opportunity to work overtime was prized, and in fact sometimes workers would "go slow" during normal time, to ensure there was enough work left for overtime. Nobody worked normal hours that included public holidays, so those hours were compensated at double time. Christmas Day would sometimes command triple-time.
If you don’t like your job find another one. I looked at the sub and the memes posted.

These antiworkers are blaming their own misfortune on a bunch of supposedly dumb conservatives because they themselves are too stupid or inept to find a job that they like, or that there’s a such thing as enjoyable work, or that all rich kids just laze around instead of their family pushing them to get into good schools, even through nepotism why would they need to worry about reputation?

You're right that the best that a cryptocurrency distribution could hope for is to mimic fiat ownership.

But Bitcoin distribution is so heavily tilted toward the initial years that it's much more uneven than fiat. And other cryptocurrencies are worse yet, especially those with huge premines (which include all coins lacking PoW), concentrating all the wealth on its creators.

Gold is not like that. When my country, France, floated the idea to maybe sell our reserves now that it's useless to pay for things people may need, the pressure from Russia and other very large holders was so heavy we dropped it: not worth the amount of enemy we would have made crashing its price.

People who advocate for gold... wait for it ... have gold ! It's the same as bitcoin.

And for the record, the way I saw this was a TikTok of an employee recording the call before he even said the word fired, so I assume most people already knew what was up.

But based on the placement of (imo justified) profanity, it wasn't known that the call was exclusive to the fired.

So in a way they probably felt like they had just been fired by receiving a poisoned zoom link, not even the call that it lead to, if that makes sense.

We all make decisions based on what we think we need and the reality of our situations.

I feel badly for people who don't think about the second-order effects of their decisions, though. If one chooses to only do enough to get by starting at a young age, they'll still be waiting tables (or some equivalent) in their 60's, one paycheck away from disaster.

On the other hand, working more than you need has compounding effects. Ben Franklin got about his business with a hand-cart early in the morning in his 20s and 30s and was in shape to retire in his 40s - and could indulge in public service, invention, scientific experimentation, and exploration to his hearts desire after that.

We can't all be Ben Franklins, though I think more of us could do so with better decision making.
You can do time domain reflectometry to find out where the breaks, sharp corners and reflections are in the cable.

Some modems have special debug modes in that can do this too - then you get to know exactly how many meters along the wire the break is. When you get close, you can hook a resistor to the line and rerun the test and it'll tell you how many meters forward or back you need to go to find the issue.

Pretty easy to track issues down that way.
varufakis should reade graeber's Debt. the most glaring problem of bitcoin (and the whole crypto world) is that it has this naive "scarcity view" of currency whereas it is an in-your-face reality that a most important role of currency is to boostrap a credit system.

cryptobros have an obsession with inflation and rates side of government regulation and they seem to be completely oblivious to the credit system side of regulation - the two-tier private/central bank etc. maybe because they actually have no clue how the current system works)

so besides the inflation/deflation challenge I have yet to see any proposal how one could have stable decentralized unregulated credit markets and would be quite interested if people have serious relevant references.
The 'debunking' is just noting that the book in question has over 400 pages. Shouldn't we expect a guy writing a glowing foreword to have actually taken the time to read the book he's praising?

As far as I can tell, there's a lot of consistent smoke. Somehow Corbyn is always involved but never ever notices the bad stuff. There was a good basis to be concerned: Whether Corbyn is an antisemite, cynical or just totally oblivious, is not as material when he's running to such a powerful position. An oblivious PM could do some damage still.

Elections are not a court - we have to decide based on probabilities, and most British voters found Corbyn to be more unworthy than Johnson.

>The campaign to smear him as one has most certainly succeeded, and his support for Palestine probably in no small is to blame for this.

There could be a connection. It could be argued that strong opinions on ME conflict led people to ignore things they did not want to see. From Corbyn supposedly not noticing multiple cases of outright bigotry, to some Labour supporters not noticing a pattern with Corbyn.

automation DSLs are moot. just use a general purpose language and the "non-programmer" will still be able to copy and paste crap justfine. skimming through this article, it seems whatever thing he's talking about is no different than autohotkey on windows. autohotkey sucks because it's not a real language, except it is, but just very poorly designed due to trying to avoid being a real language which it inevitably still needs to be.

same story for bash. get rid of shell scripting too

come think of it, the hardest part of programming is using whatever hare brained dependency management system any language has. automation tools probably win literally just because the user only has to use a single installer, instead of installing PL #5 and then automation lib #3 (and debugging some subdependency conflict)

This was in response to acts of war and unprovoked attacks against the United States mainland with both military and civillian targets by an individual who had made a specific declaration of war against the U.S.: https://scholar.dickinson.edu/faculty_publications/277/

Comparing that speific case to failure to follow proper criminal procedure and rule of law is disengenuous to the extreme. There are many criticisms which can be made of the US response to (and other actions after) the 9/11 attacks. The assassination of the leader of the irregular forces aligned against the US is not one such. Numerous other instances would have made for a vastly stronger argument.

The fact is that there is no clear dividing line between acts of war and criminal acts --- recognised among other ways in the phrase "war crimes" itself (which might be applied both by, and against, the United States).

The situation in Guantanamo is far more valid.

The case of drone warfare and strikes another instance.

It's worth noting that the US is hardly alone in these tactics, and that irregular and extrajudicial killings are in fact a major element of the considerations in the case of Al Qaeda, at least some of the Guantanamo detainees, and drone strikes.

The real world is messy.

That said, I'd disagree with your conclusion on lack of difference, moralising, invective, and hyperbole notwithstanding.
it's a truism that free speech undergirds democracy, but you get to it via a false dichotomy (left vs right) handed down to us by surrogates of power (political scientists, in this case) to distract and divide the populace. the only useful (but not wholly accurate) dichotomy regarding political economies is the one between the powerful and the powerless. this is the timeless and unending conflict, not left-right, liberal-conservative, or any of that other bullshit. free speech is one tool of the powerless populace to keep the powerful in check.

I thought I would disagree, but I very much agree that we need something like zapier for custom internal processes. I’ve automated thousands of hours worth of things with zapier and gsheets.

But if there isn’t a zap for it, and you can’t hack your way around it, nontechnical users are generally out of luck.

I would love for gsheets to be able to extend further into the browser and my desktop, because there is so much value and potential there. For example, a problem I worked on yesterday: I receive an email every day that has an attachment with the .eml file type. In that attachment is a link to a csv. I need the data from the csv in excel or sheets for daily use. There are no zaps to convert a .eml to any filetype - so I had to automate the attachment downloading to gdrive on my desktop, have a local automation run to convert .eml to .txt, then back in zapier grab the url from the .txt and deliver it to gsheets. Then the gsheet can just grab the data from the csv url.

Problem is - I couldn’t figure out how to automate the .eml conversion, so I’m stuck!

> Side note: why is deflation expected and approved of in computers and electronics but not healthcare or higher education?

That's... not deflation? It's literally building wealth. Cheaper computers means more people can afford them/ people can afford more of them. This is a good thing! Cheaper healthcare (or higher ed) would also be a good thing. But for it to be a good thing, you would have to make it objectively easier for more people to access the same-or-better-quality healthcare or higher ed! If by "deflation" here you simply mean "there's the same overall quality and quantity of higher ed, but older people (who had time to hoard money) can access it a lot easier, to the detriment of young people"... that would clearly be a bad thing.

Money is not like that, though. There's no economic advantage to be gained from people hoarding money - they're supposed to be a medium of exchange. If money increases value, you're not spending or investing them, which means less economic activity, hence less wealth for everyone. Money is just a vehicle, never an end-goal.

Tl;dr: wealth is, largely speaking, "more and better stuff for everyone!". More and better computers, electronics, higher ed, healthcare. And money, too, I guess? Except that "more money" is typically associated with "inflation" - which shows you that money doesn't really count, it's just a vehicle.
