The first time I heard someone talk about a "commission" in this context, I was totally confused -- "I thought salespeople got commissions, not customers?" -- until it all snapped into focus and I was like: "Oh." And from the way they talked, this was normal for B2B sales? So then I look at some decisions that have been made in companies where I've worked, and I wonder...
The issue is not banning, rather lack of liability.

I've been involved with MPSYT a while back and has been given admin rights to the mps-youtube repository under the mps-youtube organization, but not to pyfa which mps uses. At some point after the owner stopped actively maintaining the project, me and some other contributors at the time was given the ability to merge pull requests.
The impression I got from discussions around that time was that we could maintain but weren't supposed to lead the project.

I've long since stopped using the tool and therefore lost both interest and knowledge about it to properly maintain it, but I've been reluctant to pass my rights on to someone else. It kind of breaches the mandate I feel I was given.

I'm at the point where I'dd b e happy to give the rights to someone if it would keep the project alive. However, I personally think it would be better if someone forks and renames the project. Mostly due to a lot of 3rd party packages being released many years ago which I assume would not be properly updated if the project were to become active again. The only one who can push a new version onto pip is the long inactive owner.

If someone wants to make a fork, I'dd merge any PR that updates the readme to a maintained fork.
> “Missing context ... Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.”

I can agree with that. After learning about this BMJ article some people with certain bias might take it as an evidence that Covid vaccine trials were seriously flawed and resulted in wrong conclusions and that the vaccine is unsafe or ineffective.

So plenty of context is sometimes necessary to avoid misleading people despite the fact that everything you say is true.
Come on. I just purchased my first home in my late 20s and I am one of the very few in my circle to do it. To suggest anyone has a 400 dollar mortgage payment is just ridiculous and untrue. MY rate is 2.78%. I pay $1000 and thats on the very cheap side for where I live. Average is 1700 and up(I live in an isolated area, but an extremely dense/populated state)

Your comment seems disingenuous. You're also discounting the fact that you need a large downpayment (10,000+) to even get a mortgage in the first place. Do you not live in the USA? Housing prices are a real problem for my generation.
I was curious what happens if you don't have a notch. The app installs a "no f4k3 genuine replacement notch" so you can still enjoy the benefits.

Correct. The last step needed: the debunkers need to debunk the myths not in their cozy groups and websites, but in the enemy's lair. This achieves two purposes:

First, those reading the myths will immediately see the refusal. They don't need to search through multiple websites. They don't have to go through the layers of meaningless arguments. Here's bullshit in the post - here's refusal in the reply. Easy-peasy.

Second, with this everyone knows that once he posts some burp - someone will call him out. And nobody - not even a group moderator - will be able to come to the rescue.

In May 2017, the combined market capitalization of the top 10 publicly traded Bay Area companies was $2,588 Billion.

Today, it's $8,783 Billion.

That's an IRR of 31% over the last 5 years.

It's hard to see that as declining. Company culture and social circumstances are changing, yes. But the companies are doing just fine.
This is why i encrypt everything before I store with a provider. Have fun scanning that.
The real problem is that the big banks break laws and regulations continuously.

If you look at how many times have they been caught, the list is very, very long.

Yet every time there are no real consequences. A fine here and there and settlement agreements written in a way that nobody gets any trouble for anything. I'm actually surprised the bank admitted to anything this time. Usually they just pay a fine, and admit to nothing.

For heaven's sake, even HSBC drug cartel money laundering scandal results in not a single person going to prison or getting fired. HSBC even violated the additional rules they were supposed to be subjected to during a probation period after settling, and yet again nothing happened, except they paid a small(ish) fine.

The entire industry is completely lawless.
I guess this is OK for beginner developers, but for the long-term, I recommend only using repos like this for inspiration, and not for daily use.

Take a look at this script for example: https://github.com/alexanderepstein/Bash-Snippets/blob/maste... -- 257 lines, self-update function, tricks for functionality, a few encoding bugs. Instead, if you are sure you have "curl" installed, this entire thing can be made into 1-line script:

curl qrenco.de/"%*"

Sure, this 1-line cannot handle missing "curl" nor can it produce PNGs... but then it is way easier to understand, fix and enhance. And if you need PNGs, write another tiny script to make those. After all, shell scripts is all about customization and glue logic -- much better to leave "business logic" to other programming languages.
These thieves are skilled. I've seen videos where it takes them no more than 3-5 seconds to break window, grab something, and get into a getaway vehicle.

You can watch outside nonstop, like a camera would, but these things happen so quickly that the chance of you being able to do anything beyond maybe seeing the license plate of the getaway vehicle is pretty low.

To protect against this requires money (secured garage/parking), not just vigilantism.
> the media and what it publishes is downstream of what individuals in society want to see and hear.

I think it's more likely a feedback loop and they're both downstream from each other. And, in that sense, there's "blame" on both sides, and certain patterns continually reinforce themselves through such loops.
This is a really good sales pitch for both Nim and Htmx IMHO. I've used htmx a bit but never Nim. Even so, the code is easy to read and follow.
Thanks! I'm not frowning upon Python, I just have an ancient computer with a really minimal Linux system. For that reason I'm avoiding Python, but I definitely need Perl for a few other tasks. Also, yes, I happen to be one of those guys who actually likes Perl's syntax, general ideas, and the oddball humor of its community.
very interesting point. It seems to be a useful model for thinking about this stuff.

I still think Bullshit Jobs was a terrible read but maybe I need to give some of his other stuff a shot.
Except it should be, because alcoholism is in fact a lethal disease all on its own and frequently overlies serious mental health issues, including things like domestic abuse, drunk driving, etc. Where there’s smoke, look for fire.
The people working in mainstream media - including the clowns at CNN - in the US are extraordinarily stupid on average.

A lot of media outlets ran with the (non-)story that Elon Musk was planning to quit his roles at SpaceX and Tesla to become an influencer. Musk was joking and very obviously so; and yet so many of them ran stories with tags like "it's not certain yet if he's serious." (CNBC for example promptly ran a story with that elaboration)

They're really, really, really, stupid.

In the US if you can't cut it doing anything else, you become a faux journalist. You write hack regurgitated tweet-based articles for Business Insider or MSNBC or CNN. Which also partially explains the condition of journalism in the US.
Neither of those policies affect whether or not the police make an arrest.
They didn't "bungle" it. It's working as designed.
Dont cross Musk or Zuck. They seem like harmless tools but they are the face of the megatechnocrats.
No not in general.

There are facts. There are ways to make rational arguments based on those facts.

Those arguments don't have to be the same, or even produce the same results to be useful - because they state their basis and how, based on that they produce their conclusions.

That is a really useful and powerful thing.

> If the Telegraph controlled the "fact checker" the Guardian wouldn't exist. If the Guardian controlled the "fact checker", the Telegraph wouldn't exist.

Why? Having a fact checker that explains (even arguably incorrectly) why something is wrong isn't censorship.

A newspaper could be a factchecker (and sometime are) - if they explain their reasoning, or have some transparent way to see their reasoning.

This feels like a 'let perfect be the enemy of the good' type situation. Fact checking doesn't mean everything will be correct. It doesn't need to. Much like science doesn't claim to have the correct answer for everything - it's to the best of our knowledge based on the scientific method.
Oh wow, super fascinating reference, thank you for posting it! I’ll have to check it out, I’ve been prototyping game concepts with many thousands of agents who all do interesting things for the player to investigate (the key here is that they don’t have to be particularly complex or meaningful, they just have to overlap in enough thought provoking ways to keep the player engaged), and I’ve had a similar insight (“make agents identify a position and adopt the opposite stance”) that seems to yield interesting early results.

> SF has always been a far worse place to live and work unless you are young and like nightlife and restaurants and lots of socializing outside of the office.

You can replace "SF" with any developed city and you make the same point. It sounds like you're more against urban living in general than SF specifically.
Microservices are a plague on the industry. It's just as bad when OOP was introduced. I wish they would go away.
The 2 usecases I see this working well for.

* Anything involving autoscaling

I don't think this is a great boon for long lived services.
It killed morale, and due to other issues, eventually killed the entire project about a month after I left. I have already found a new position.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but focusing on the number of people that want to run Linux on a Mac and the tangible short-term benefits misses the larger dynamics that could play out over time.

The bigger opportunity is expanding the footprint and flexibility of Apple Silicon in general. As a developer the new MacBook Pros performance characteristics were too juicy to ignore, the main pain points are virtualization and architecture shift. I'm not knowledgeable enough about the low level details to have a fully formed idea of impact of these pain points yet—maybe Apple Silicon and ARM support are equivalent in practice when it comes to development/deployment—but it certainly makes me feel more comfortable paying the Apple premium the more diverse and open the supported use cases are.
You say in another post you spent only a year in SF?
The SFPD were defunded, staff left in droves due to a cargo culting 'social democrat' political climate that was openly hostile to them. Cops are one wrong move away from being in jail themselves in an increasingly lawless bay area environment. This has reached crisis level and the subtleties of community policing vs law enforcement, and restorative justice experiments have been blown to smithereens by ham fisted, tone deaf ideologues such as DA Boudin. It will take decades to recover from this and is a societal disaster IMO, especially those who are most vulnerable.

These people really annoy me.

Yes, there may be some data integrity and procedural integrity issues with one, or two, or even three of the hundred plus sites/contractors used to collect data on any given vaccine trial. However, by using modern statistical methods, and auditing, we minimize the impact of these possible errors.

In addition to this, the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer has now actually left trial and been ADMINISTERED TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!!!!! So we actually have data now, in some cases from 6 months ago and longer, showing that, at least for effects that are short term visible, there is very little to worry about. How do we know this .... THROUGH ACTUAL MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF VACCINATION DATA IN THE GENERAL POPULATION. The trial data is LESS AND LESS RELEVANT.

This BMJ may have been a reputable publication at some point ... I'm not going to assume it wasn't ... but if you read the study and the article posted you'll very soon realize that this is some shoddy bloody journalism. AND, YES, it will misinform people, because Joe Rogan and the like do not apply suitable skepticism when considering the claims of these "scientific skeptics".

I wish everyone could actually take the time to read these long medical articles. But most people can't. I happen to be working on a project where I have to occasionally read and digest "fact finding" content to judge its accuracy. And even I am growing exhausted with what I have a financial interest in doing, because of the sheer stupidity of the interpretations of data by the Joe Rogan crowd ... and it's always something you need to dig a layer deep to uncover too. So sometimes reasonable people without free time can get bamboozled because Rogan and Co. seem to have neocortexes that operate with some strange parameters.

P.S. In general I agree that "fact-checking" is a bad idea. I prefer crowd-sourced fact-checking from a community ... basically like Hacker News comments. A lot of fact-checking is just mirroring the prevailing political mood.

I agree that free speech is important, but private businesses can decide to pull the plug if the want. It’s a consequence of speech.

I’m not a fan of app stores though. Google and Apple are monopolistic.
This one is a more in-depth rebuttal to the article and indeed BMJ itself; I found it compelling. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/what-the-heck-happened-to-t... It argues that the article was disingenuous to the point of being propaganda.

I run a few AWS Lambda functions approximately 850k times per week as part of my business.

Running a server would've been a pain to validate the need for the problem I'm solving, and I managed to scale that up beyond 2 million times per week as my customer's needs changed without my input.

Eventually, it'll be more economical to use a server 24/7 of course, but it'd cost significantly more than the premium I'm paying for serverless to move over (at the moment).

This is not a bad thing at all. Silicon Valley in the 1980s was not the powerhouse it is today. It was still the center of the universe in tech, but no way was it anywhere near today's level. But you could get a tech job if you wanted to get one.

I'd love it if all the people in the Bay Area and hate it just moved. That would be great if the city and Bay Area emptied out, wouldn't it be great if rents were cut in half, on both commercial and apartments, and home prices went down by half? Which would never happen, despite how many tech companies leave, because the Bay Area actually is a fantastic place to live, unlike anywhere else in the USA.

Not only that, commercial offices all over the USA are emptying out.

And while I lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco City a long time, I am in a commercial office high rise in Los Angeles, and in the morning from 7am to 9am, at any time, I've never shared the elevator with a single person. In an 18 story building, for the last 2 years.

Also, rents and home prices all over the country have shot up, even in the most remote locations. So it's not like there are any fantastic deals to be had. It's not like you're going to be able to move to Lincoln Nebraska, for example, and get a nice modern home for $80,000. It's still be over $300,000. Sure, better than the Bay Area. But it is in Nebraska, and not in the Bay Area. You don't get a Ferrari for the same price as a Toyota Corolla.

Additionally, I DO hope a lot of companies follow Elon Musk and the other companies to Texas. Texas is already an extremely light purple - Ted Cruz beat Beto O'Roarke 50.9% to 48.3%. Getting a lot more ex-Bay Area liberals moving to Texas could easily swing elections and turn Texas blue over time. Houston was 58% for Beto, Dallas 66% for Beto, Austin 74% for Beto. San Antonio was 59% for Beto. Travis county was 74.3% for Beto, El Paso was 74.4% for Beto.

And while the tech is spreading out all over the USA and world, for that matter, there's just too much infrastructure geared to tech to ever collapse. It's like Hollywood - they just have too much infrastructure for it being likely for any other city to overtake it. They have people specializing in entertainment law, accounting, props for movies, caterers, extras, companies providing cameras and other tech, talent scouts, talent agent companies, editors, musicians specifically geared for the entertainment industry...and probably so much more that I can't even think of. Any new city wanted to become the new Hollywood would have to build up the extensive infrastructure.

I'm not saying that Hollywood or Silicon Valley couldn't ever completely collapse, of course, that goes without saying. But I just never see that happening at least in the near and medium term for the Bay Area. I'd move back there in a hot minute if I could afford it. So please, Bay Area residents who hate it, please move to Texas or Mississippi, or Arkansas, or West Virginia, or Louisiana. Please.
Anyone got data points from Linode?
They should indeed allow the switch of <ourproduct.com> to our .onmicrosoft.com tenant (instead of the previous domain name holder) but unfortunately this is a manual process as demonstrated by my experience.

We were indeed asked to add a TXT record (ms=....) to our domain which we did but this was not enough to be able to link the domain name through the admin panel ourselves because it was still linked to another tenant which held the domain name in the past.

you should be getting in each support email information about the person's manager and their contacts. this is the case with Azure support.

if you do have an Azure support email then try contacting the manager of that person who emailed you even if the case isn't related.

admittedly I do have worse experience with office 365 support but azure support is extremely helpful and also help you connect with the correct person within office 365.
