Just to clear things up since some of the other comments seem unsure or have partial information, UPI requires a cell phone, a cell phone number and the bank account linked with the cell phone number. It cannot be used from a computer (IMPS, which is like UPI’s cousin with a slightly more cumbersome interface, can be used from a computer).

The primary form of UPI usage is from smartphone apps (provided by banks or by the operator of UPI, which is the NPCI BHIM app).

See the UPI overview page [1] by NPCI (a private consortium operating UPI, IMPS and a few other services).

You don’t pay BTC for the same reason you don’t pay for sandwiches in gold ingots.
It was never really about daily payments. Probably the closest sandwich payment method is those crypto backed credit cards.
Or you could buy a sandwich in El Salvador, and pay via the Lightning network.
Agreed. Really surprised by most of the answers here. On my team, someone like the OP would be found out fast and wouldn't last long.
I've never seen a pay increase above ~2% here in Sweden. Some union agreements allow larger (and lower) changes if the average increase is still the decided upon percentage.
If only those contact lists would contain different things than phone numbers in them...
Looks like you are describing the value of the distributed non-permissioned consensus mechanism, without using those words.
>My first response when the plan to add generics was announced was “meh”. In my 5+ years working in Go, I can probably count on one hand the number of times that I felt like I really needed generics.

And then the author goes to admit that they had written a whole library with the kludge that is textual code generation "to support both primitive and custom types".
>If someone is unhappy enough to start job hunting rather than talking to me then it's a clear sign that they'll leave soon regardless of any pay rise.

so you mean if a recruiter contacts your workers and says we can offer you X amount and they check it out they should have talked to you beforehand?
There's a surprising number of people who do not possess a birth certificate document. Their parents lost it, it got thrown out during an eviction, etc, etc. I've witnessed people at DMV stations who brought in their original birth certificates, but the embossed notary stamp had flattened over the years. It takes time and money to get a replacement. If the non-enhanced IDs didn't exist, these people couldn't get a state id card.
Are you saying that it modify the sound/bits instead of been “as more transparent possible”, that is a goal for an audiophile usually? (I said the same in my comment, it’s the first time I read of this big difference with an eth switch)

> I had it and have Dr. letter that says so. I now have sterilizing immunity.

No, you don't, nobody has, 'sterilizing immunity' doesn't exist as you seem to think it does [0]. I seriously doubt a doctor would write 'sterilizing immunity' in such a letter, so I assume that's your reasoning.

> so it is not better for me nor my family.

It actually is [1]. Even if you had it, you're still better off having the jab.

> I am not jabbed, and will not get jabbed.

You just sound like someone that can't be convinced of things. Talk to your doctor.

> While I am just one, I invalidate your use of the word 'all'.

Yeah, like seatbelt doesn't save 100%. Luckily one data point doesn't count as evidence when we're talking about statistics.

Talk to your union. This is nonsense. We are SOC2 compliant at my employer without any surveillance tools. There are plenty of other controls that are perfectly reasonable though.
I am in a similar position as OP. I do 15-20 hours of work and watch Twitch or YouTube the rest of the time. I am a lead dev at a startup and developed one of their main products. I have always implemented every feature in a few days or less. Bug fixes usually take 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile another lead dev, who handles the development of another product, takes at least 2 days to fix a simple bug, and 1-2 weeks to implement a simple feature.

Personally I don't see why I should be overworked if I get all of my stuff done in a short amount of time. Plus because I feel guilty I am always available on Slack and answer or even code on demand if somebody really needs it.

I sense that higher ups look at me as a hard worker and a good employee, but if only they knew the thruth. But if I was forced to work a lot more I would probably quit.
The point of a carbon tax isn't to ban things, but to redirect spending to more efficient uses, even people who like foreign holidays come out ahead as the greater efficiency is a net gain.
It's okay bruv. Pay doesn't have to be okay with what you say mate. Nothing matters. Stay in your home. Go to hell. Go to hell.
I just tell all of them that I don’t have or use WhatsApp, and that’s true. They wouldn’t be able to send anything over WhatsApp since my number was never registered with that platform. Those who want my business will have to abide by my preferences.

The agent isn’t mandatory for SOC2, there is an option to just upload screenshots of settings periodically. I had the same situation and I opted to upload the screenshots.
Had a quick look at drata.com. Looks like vendorware. Some manager got hoodwinked into buying the product to justify their existence. Now they have to force everybody to use it to justify the exorbitant price.
True, they have a patreon (and corporate sponsors).

Are there an other image decoding ambiguities?

Is there a tool that can detect ambiguous PNGs and other similar things?
I haven't been in this case yet as most companies I've contracted for were/are small companies <25 employees where everyone brings their own laptop (or at least the contractors do).

There was one company which required devices to be up to date on the latest security updates from the OS and every wednesday an employee was chasing everyone to get confirmation that our systems were updated.

If a client would require an agent to be installed I would ask for a company laptop to do the work on.
What language out of curiosity?
The other mandate of the Fed is getting full employment. Pumping money into the economy helps increase employment and there is a long way to go to get back to pre-pandemic levels on that metric.

They believed the inflation was transitory, and were going to wait it out. Now it's very clearly not transitory, so they are taking action
Every morning my machine dutifully booted up, logged in, signed in at precisely 9AM and made sure it showed I was available and active throughout the day until it was "time to go home."

Not sure about lots. I got the impression that intersection between PC and mobile games is not that big. And Valve are focused and PC games proper (in this case running on Linux obviously).

If anything, lately less games come out for Linux natively on Steam or GOG may be due to relative decline of marketing push until recently. But now with Steam Deck Valve are a least putting more weight behind marketing again, which is good.
> Reddit is the ONLY place on the Internet where you can simultaneously watch garbage recycled content from TikTok and visit extremely-niche and highly knowledgeable communities in the same session.

But for how long I wonder. Those niche communities continue to use Reddit because they can circumvent the dark-patterns and ads usually with a custom client.

And those clients depend upon reddit API. We've seen in the past that once the community-focused Internet platforms get large, Especially when they go public then the API restrictions are soon to follow as advertiser's interest becomes primary and the majority users don't care as they're not in for those niche communities.
Rent went down (perhaps temporarily) for some people who stayed in dense, expensive places with low quality of life (certain parts of the Bay Area).

As Americans run out of savings, we should see more of this kind of thing. Rent prices are unsustainable in many parts of the country.
It's trivial for software inside to VM to detect that. So, I'd expect any competent agent software to report that back to base.

Whether or not the people monitoring the agent's output will care, is a different question. ;)
That's what I do today. One VM per customer, on a pretty decent workstation.

My host file system is encrypted. If I install the agent, it will complain about the VM's file system not being encrypted. If I double encrypt, compilation times will go up quite a bit. Besides, running the agent in a VM will just be theater. If the host machine is compromised, no security in the VM will mean anything. I could just as well run the agent on dedicated VM with antivirus and disk encryption and just forget about it. Theater is theater. The audience would be the same, and they would see the same Play. However, it would not be ethical. It wold also lower my local security, as it's not impossible for malware to escape from a VM to the host machine. (I have worked for a VM vendor. I know a thing or two about VM's).

I have reasonable good security on my devices. Complying faithfully with this requirement would lower my security. If I silo it in it's own LAN, on it's own hardware, it would lower my job satisfaction and my performance.
I'm not assuming anything, I'm concluding what I must based on the evidence. You have some countervening evidence, then we change the conclusion. Otherwise, Occam's razor. Just because it could be more complicated doesn't mean we should believe it is without evidence.

A metastudy above concludes the same thing using unrelated data anyway [1]. Men masturbate much more than women and the effect size is greater than most all other psychological differences.

My Windows machine is mostly for gaming. I do my work on a Macbook Pro and my personal projects on a Macbook Air.

So, my Windows 11 is incredibly vanilla. I use the default web browser (I also use Edge on Mac, so my bookmarks carry over).

The only 3rd party apps that are indispensable are 7-Zip (for game mods and occasional historical research) and VSCode (for making quick text file notes, game config editing, etc.)

I used to have WSL installed, but Mac has superseded it.

I also use VirtualBox for occasional Linux forays.
Maybe if doctors had to actually build a human they would. When I'm debugging I reach for Google a lot less than when I'm building something.
Sure, but the rise of communism also came around that time.

And to be perfectly honest, the fall of communism, kind of coincides with when the balance of rich vs the rest started to go off rails.

Communism is dead, but that doesn't mean something else cant come and replace it (and probably be just as bad)
Inflation is a neat (and usually the only) way to lower the wages without losing people. Of course they're not going to let go of it.
Remember those times.

Some PCs just last. A 2.4 GHz Core2 Quad I had, I think from 2008, is still going strong and can run most modern software just fine.

It's amazing how little progress there has been in last 13 years. In the nineties you had to upgrade every two years or so just to be able to run current software.

I think 2021 computer has a good chance of being still completely usable in 2040.
There aren't very many 1-bedroom apartments for rent in the Outer Sunset - it is mostly single-family homes - so Zumper data on 1-bedrooms is not really relevant here. Also, the apartments there are largely older builds (they are super nimby out there).

> You didn't walk into Golden Gate Park after dark, because it just wasn't safe.

This is laughably inaccurate. There are plenty of runners and recreational cyclists at night in that part of Golden Gate Park. Even more so now that they re-opened Great Highway to cars on weekdays. And if you think the 7/11 next to the Indian pizza place is shady - wow. You'll see far more shady stuff, in broad daylight, inside the Target at 4th and Mission on any afternoon. Which is why they cut hours down and only open at 9am and close by 6pm for their SF locations.

Perhaps you left San Francisco a long time ago. Today the Outer Sunset has a median home price around $1.8M, and is the safest neighborhood in the city that isn't at the top of a hill.
Absolutely but this also assumes a fairly "elastic" housing market able to absorb the demand. I am not sure the market is still able to do that with the NYMBYsm and malthusianism around new housing. In high tension area, the price could quickly increase faster than general inflation. I believe CPI does not include house prices.
Yeah, I know. That's just my point
Thanks to McDonald's, KFC et al at least the first part can safely be dismissed? Meat is among the cheapest ways to feed yourself if you disregard quality. But I don't think the study mentions they specifically only considered people eating high quality meat.

Why software engineers in banks complain about their pay

Don't forget option C: Talk with all the other teams and present a united front, whatever you decide to do.
I did an debate with the author 6/4/2018. He lost. https://youtu.be/I9Pxv1i9W7M?list=PLN0RF11rNdP0kkklAiif2pBLv... By the way Bitcoin was at $2530. Ethereum was at $590. Bitcoin went up $69,000 since then. Ethereum went to $5000. But pundits and critics seem to be immune to educate from years of progress, and now history.

Quote from his article: "So why this hype? Because the cryptocurrency space, at heart, is simply a giant ponzi scheme where the only way early participants make money is if there are further suckers entering the space. The only “utility” for a cryptocurrency (outside criminal transactions and financial frauds) is what someone else will pay for it and anything to pretend a possible real-word utility exists to help find new suckers."

The gentlemen that invented and host this forum don't believe that. Disclaimer: I've founded a few cryptocurrencies.
There always will be because if you removed it people would freak out. Even though there are barely any settings left that you need to go there for.

I had predicted a while ago that the end goal for Amazon's retail division will be to sell only Amazon's own goods and services, and I still stand by it. We may not see it for a long time, but let's face it Amazon isn't what it is today because it sells cheap Chinese knockoffs. The real money is in grocery delivery, pharmacy, Prime Video, Kindle, Audible, Fire Tablets, the Echo ecosystem, Ring. They could even start a courier service on the back of their global logistics empire and compete with FedEx/UPS.

Paper link: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.abi9773

Paper abstract:
Anthropomorphic robotic manipulators have high grasp mobility and task flexibility but struggle to match the practical strength of parallel jaw grippers. Gecko-inspired adhesives are a promising technology to span that gap in performance, but three key principles must be maintained for their efficient usage: high contact area, shear load sharing, and evenly distributed normal stress. This work presents an anthropomorphic end effector that combines those adhesive principles with the mobility and stiffness of a multiphalange, multifinger design. Adhesive suspensions use buckling ribs to deliver shear load sharing and normal compliance in a deployable form factor. We use an elastic foundation model and fundamentals of grasping theory to motivate kinematic changes when shifting from Coulomb friction to adhesive manipulation. These design considerations integrate with the necessary control infrastructure in a prototype called farmHand, on which we perform tests to confirm shear load sharing and demonstrate adhesive use in manipulation beyond pick and place grasping.
Once again, I'd like to understand why "lower unemployment" is more important than people actually being able to make a living.

What is all that employment for if people can't pay their bills from it?
> people who haven't been vaccinated or exposed at a relatively young age

I don’t have the link but there was a report recently that the “immunonaive” in the UK is a vanishingly small percentage. Pretty much everyone kicking around now are either convalescent, vaccinated, or both. T-Cell mediated immunity against Omicron is pretty good even for those with waning antibody levels. So, the impact of Omicron is likely to be significantly reduced compared to previous waves.
I read the fourth turning book. I couldn't finish it just because how tenuous the argument was. It was also debunked by experts. I find it absolutely not interesting at all.
>I kind of hate looking at Go code containing generics.

Perhaps that will change as you get more used to it?

And for code you consume (e.g. using a library) Generics will make your life easier and safer.
You sell your hours to the employer at a bulk discount rate, but in return you get predictability of income independent of actual work load. This is a compromise most people are happy with.
Project is someone else's product
If anyone assumes this is specific to the US and that companies (from the US operating) in developing countries would provide inflation matching raises due to lower cost of labor, let me put that to rest. The multinational companies operating in India don’t match inflation either. The inflation in India has been around 6-7% for a couple of decades (and higher for long before that), and wages have just eroded over time.
So you're arguing for removing the ability of those whose opinions you dislike to have their opinions represented, in other words.

I love in the UK, which uses FPTP, and personally I don't consider countries which uses this system to be democratic countries at all. I'm de facto disenfranchised.

Did the first few commenters not read the article at all? It’s literally about how Doctors look up information all the time. This makes perfect sense because not only is there so much information to remember best practices and other information change all the time.

In programmers avoiding looking up references is far more an ego driven ascetic approach than it is anything practical. Same with eschewing modern tooling.
I think you're on to something.

I have been traveling abroad in situations where the local currency devalued significantly overnight. It took a few days for shopkeepers to adjust. Nobody knows what the spot rate of inflation is; by definition you need historical data.
> This is mostly my sentiment. They can monitor the laptop they provide.

I don’t agree. Company surveillance of workers is very stressful and invasive and saying “it’s their laptop” isnt good enough. The worksite of most workers is theirs too, so does that mean it’s okay to put microphones in the break rooms and cameras tracking bathroom breaks? I don’t mean legal, I mean morally.

I don’t want a company microphone listening on my family conversations in the distance
How well did they do as referee in 2008? Did they take prompt corrective action when it was obvious banks and rating agencies were mispricing their balance sheet items, or mostly wait for explosion and then bail out their buddies?

It just adds onus on the vendor. Google have implemented it very well and I love this a lot more as the end user gets more visibility and control.

But union heads are elected by union members, aka workers. If the latter consider the former to be corrupt, they have the power to change that.
This is marketing gimmick that has been going back for decades. As long as there is no extreme jitter, latency, etc the delivered data packets are the same as with a $20 switch. As long as the DAC, etc are identical there cannot be any perceptible difference.

Adversarial reviews. The problem isn't just fake positive reviews. The other problem is fake negative reviews left by competitors, which is already a problem on Amazon. Most 1-star reviews are either stupid & irrelevant (it arrived a day late, ONE STAR! and so forth), or fake.

I've seen some categories of products with lots of obviously fake reviews claiming safety issues. These were on every single product I could find, so clearly all the manufacturers were targeting each other.

The 2-4 star range has historically been the most reliable, but fake review factories got wise to that a few years ago and will now often intentionally leave a minor gripe in their fake positive reviews to make them seem more authentic.

A better solution is to publish the % return rates for products and forget about reviews. You can even normalise that into a 5-star rating by product category, e.g., "Here are the top 5 products similar to this one, with average return rate of 1%. The product you are viewing has a return rate of 15%".

With low-friction return reason categories you could even classify high return rates for things like "doesn't look like the photos", "poor quality", "smaller than expected", etc. Unfortunately Amazon's return reasons are variable-friction, so their data on this will be biased, although it might be consistently biased across product groups.

I do like the word cloud idea - but pulled from optional free-text return reasons instead of reviews.

This doesn't solve the "it broke after 2 years" problem, but neither does the current review system.
Oops. Everybody mixes that up. Even at the time, the Soviets managed to blame it on the Germans. But there is plenty of blame to go around.

The Soviets also had a policy of executing everybody in prison before retreating, piling the bodies in the cellars for the Germans to drag out and bury, and blaming the Germans. It was easy to believe it of them.

Objecting to that policy would have been fatal.
