It would be interesting to know how many of these SaaS services run on US cloud platforms. And what that means in relation to Schrems 2.
If France is dumping energy when there is an overall excess of energy in Europe, while buying fossil fuel energy during periods of high demand, then yes, it mean nothing even when France do it.

The reason why net-exporter does not mean anything is that the product people buy is not just the joules, it the service of getting the energy at the right time in the right place. Buying energy when the excess is so large that the price is close to zero is not the same as buying energy when supply is so low that people will do anything just to prevent a blackout. Net-exporter only has meaning if one buy and sell at the same time, and then only if the energy produced comes from the same type of energy, ie trading non-fossil fuel energy for other non-fossil fuel energy.
It is interesting though, what happens if you put so much data into a blockchain. I guess only a couple of nodes would want to verify the validity of the chain (because you need all the data to do it). And would those nodes really be more likely to keep the data then the situation we are in now?

I guess after some time the nodes would agree on the hash and throw away the data because it would cost too much to store.

Plus 1 for Svelte - feels as transformative as when jquery first came out (yes I'm that old). Been using postgraphile on postgres as a backend lately, but I don't think anyone would describe sql as fun. Powerful maybe but definitely not fun.
Yes that’s possible.

They can even begin laundering the money by purchasing the coveted NFTs when the mint is relaunched, and selling them on the marketplaces

(This wont break the link of funds, alone, but at least they will have different money.

Much faster to bridge all the money to Ethereum network, swap it for Ether and deposit it into tornado cash. Launch a new token with already clean money they have from their day job salary, and pump that token with their dirty funds. And just sell the clean tokens into the pump. Now theyre just lucky founder or speculator.)
I’ve received the same email. I’d love to know what’s happening.
> For the past decade we've found out -- annually -- that internationally regulated financial provider X/Y/Z is banking narco terrorists, or sheltering funds for politicians, or being the final off-ramp for ransomware.

A scandal, to be sure! You have, indeed, identified the mote of dust in your brothers' eye. But while it's certainly bigger in absolute terms, you should try it as a percentage of transaction volume. The only reason that crypto doesn't blow it totally out of the water on crime volume is that crypto remains obscure, only marginally relevant to the real world.

It's like telling me that there's more crime total in the US than there is in Haiti. It's technically true — and yet, Haiti is much dangerous.

I don't disagree with you. But all the same, I don't buy smart anything, if there's any viable alternative. My light switches, blinds, bed, clothing, shoes, light bulbs, toaster, etc are all dumb.

If I did buy a "smart" thing, it would have to be rootable and hackable and OSS-friendly (e.g. I need to be able to control it if the company goes belly up) or I won't buy it.
What I have been wondering about is a positive line showing up after 3 hours. I've had this happen consistently, and found no indication of what to do. The official docs say any results after 30 minutes are void. But why? Does the false positive rate go up to high? What could cause false positives.

I have had a few PCRs that all said negative, but the quicktest really worried me.

The meaning seems obvious. A well regulated militia is required for the security of a free state. Therefore, people's freedom to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. It declares an already existing freedom to keep and bear arms (as IIRC nothing on the federal level forbade it), and forbids its infringement by the state, with the goal of keeping the population familiar with the operation of firearms for the benefit of local militias.

One time I was watching a ceremony on a stage in Mali, sitting outdoors among coconut trees and every now and then one came crashing down hitting the floor with an almighty crunch. Foreigners laughed nervously. No doubt if that hits on the head you're dead. Couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
My recommendation:

When you're young, find dynamic startups to work on, there is a good chance you'll find the work interesting, learn a lot and get to have a larger proportional impact, and potentially have a decent exit.

When you're on the back side of your career, find a nice big company where you can hide in the cracks long enough to collect a paycheck before they question what it actually is ya do here. You'll have plenty of time for outside hobbies with little stress.
I'm working on that :)

I think the difference is that you've been used to an environment where internal needs for improvements are addressed by a team you have close communication with, and a internal tools team (if you even have one), that services 50 people, instead of thousands.

Think of yourself less like a teammate of those team members, and more like a customer. If a customer wrote about your product like "I made a feature request, and they said it would take a quarter to implement!? I could implement it myself in a few days!", that would be unreasonable, right? You have a lot of customers, and you can't just directly implement every feature request without thinking about how it applies to other customers, not to mention that you have other work to do. That's closer to what your relationship with this team is going to be like.
> My Linux + Emacs will remain the same until the heat death of the Universe. The last change was when I had to write an early-init.el file for Emacs 27, the next one will be probably when X is no longer maintained.

Looks like I must be doing something wrong then. Every single time I re-install Ubuntu (and switch to a newer Emacs version), yet another thing in my Emacs config breaks (mostly plugins). To me it's very far from a configure-once-run-forever piece of software.

I used to question the decisions of engineering leadership (in a small company of 50). When I was promoted to engineering leadership, I found myself making the same decisions that I had complained about.

You have entered a world of which you have no experience. You are simply not qualified to evaluate the performance or methods of the people around you.

You can take this as a learning opportunity, or you can run screaming back to the world of startups. Both are utterly valid and rational decisions. I did startups for thirty years, and now I'm in an enterprise. Part of me wants to run screaming every day, and then there's the part that gets shit done in an insanely complex environment.

If you stay, I recommend that you are the one that bends. Change your deployment system to work with their framework, not the other way around. Be pragmatic.

If you leave, do so quickly.

Either way, make a choice and act.

Now, if you stay, you may learn that, in fact, yes, the managers at this company are byzantine managers [1], or you may learn that this is an effective organization. If the former, get out.

I always chose the startup option until recently, and while my stock was never worth anything, I'd do the same if I was young again. Do so knowingly.

> If your app isn't quite compatible with their infrastructure, the right move is probably to modify your app, not ask them to modify their infrastructure.

This is my thought as well. The claim is that the fix on the infrastructure side should be a few days at most, but also that the infrastructure does not work for the app. If it’s only a few days for an infrastructure change, why is it so untenable to modify the app?

As an engineer (and manager) who owns infrastructure components, these “little” requests are death by a thousand cuts. They typically aren’t actually little, but even when they are, they forever add additional maintenance cost and complexity.

I’ve seen one deployment infrastructure/hardware management team take all of these little requests to make their customers happy and the end result was an entire team who basically did nothing except service requests from one final customer. They made the system fully customized for the one use case. I’ve seen another deployment infrastructure/hardware management team essentially refuse and tell their customers to fit into the supported model or find another solution. They provided a few standard hooks and said figure it out.

The former team died when their last customer moved to the later solution because it was actually supportable.
Great resource, but I wish it'd let you filter by movie/song and movie rating.
This is a foreshadowing headline you read on a newspaper at the beginning of a SciFi movie about earth being invaded by the buggers.
Human intervention is required more than you might think in the current banking system. Mistakes, fat fingered numbers, wrong accounts etc. None of it is resolved without humans with authority.

Unless you can build an authority into the system somehow for dispute resolution, the system will always favour bad actors and fraud.

The big push for no-authority, decentralised finance sounds wonderful, but the reality is if the system is inherently biased toward fraud and crime because of a lack of dispute resolution, fraud and crime is what you are going to get.
At the sharp end, I'd say there are such non-formalized "processes" in place. For example, market making is not really programmatic for low liquidity stuff (and no, AMMs are not good for price formation absent arbitrageurs). Dealing with sudden changes to the state of the world is another. Heck, simple price formation for shares is totally not formalized.

Also, not clear how defi would do on balance sheet money creation (at least to me) if we are replacing banks. (And what about all the other players in the financial ecosystem?)
They probably could by transactions linked to the public key that matches the private key and can be verified by law enforcement and witnesses that know the actual owner.

Even at the time, EOS didn't look great. The technicals just weren't there for the protocol. It was joked to be the AWS of blockchains -- ie. essentially centralized, same with Ripple.

It was definitely not the most promising. I would argue that most of blockchain is still in its early infancy. Only very recently has second layer stuff really begun to scale reasonably well. Once Eth 2 comes out and scaleability takes off I think we'll see a huge amount of growth. Right now we're in the 1200 baud dialup phase connecting to a BBS that costs $2 per minute to use. It's not practical yet for 98% of applications. It will be, and I think within 1-2 years.
> As a law abiding citizen, we jump through all these hoops

This is not like a regular law where evading the law and the negative outcome are 1:1 correlated E.g. smuggling a bomb onto a plane. In this case the people who lead to a negative outcome are not aware that they have the virus.

If you think you don't have COVID then the upside to faking a test is low enough that very few people take that path.
Literally the point of a job at a for-profit company is to make money, yes, primarily for yourself and secondarily for the business. This is by no means moral or virtuous. But it is true, and because it is true, the people who admit the truth of it will be more successful in the sense that they will be working with the system, and the people who act as if it is somehow untrue and there is some greater virtue behind it will be frustrated in the sense that they will never be able to work against the system enough to unseat it.

Why did the startup get acquired by the large company in the first place? To make money for the shareholders (mostly the founders), partly through an exit event, partly through the ongoing value of their shares. Sure, they wrote an internal email and a blog post about the "next stage of their journey" and how the big company "shares their vision" or whatever, but that's not the real reason - the reason is money. Why do employees get equity? To incentivize them to care about the money the company makes, because otherwise they wouldn't care sufficiently about the secondary goal of making money for the company (i.e., making more money for management, who sets the equity policies). Why do employers compete on salary in the first place? Because that's what being employed is about - making money.

If you want to do good work, to change the world for the better, to have fun, or whatever, you have two options. One is to secure your place within the system of being successful by making money - i.e., to show management that you will make them money if they keep you around and keep you happy - and then find some room to maneuver within it. There are a lot of people who are happy and fulfilled with their jobs because they can do this. The other is to leave the system (retire, work part-time, join a convent, etc.).

But refusing to admit the rules of the game will work about as well as trying to play a game of chess by bowling a ball at the pieces and knocking them down. You might say you don't care to win, which is fine, but that's hardly the problem - everyone involved, including you, will end up upset.

This is not true either. In Canada, Hospital beds do map to capacity.

The UK, US and Canada have roughly the same ballpark 'beds' and also 'physicians' per capita.

In the last 25 years they have taken the policy of 'getting you out', which is rational.

After an operation, if you don't have obvious signs of problems, you go home.

In Japan, where they have 4x the number of beds, you linger in the Hospital.

Maybe a better figure to look at would be the speed of treatment etc.

My two cents against the use of the Oxford comma would be that all of Europe's languages are written without it. Surely if neither German, nor Spanish, nor Finnish, nor Lithuanian, nor Hungarian, nor Bulgarian - if none of them need the Oxford comma, English probably doesn't either.
That isn't true, although you might like the philosophical debate around that, a judge is still going to make you pay the person back and/or give you a prison sentence if it's proven that you are the original owner of the keys.

I thought he meant it overlays the Chrome download page.

It doesn't.

What it does, is show this banner on the Bing search results page, which Microsoft own and is the default provider in Edge. The Chrome download link is still the first result and works fine.

This is no worse (actually, significantly less bad) than Google badgering you to download Chrome on every darn web property they own, which happens even when you're not in the market for a new browser.
The explanation given above is that you aren't the priority you used to be.. it doesn't take a month to get something done, it takes a month to do all the things in the queue in front of you.

If there is a lesson here it might be that companies quickly lose focus and try to do too many things. Then there are giant queues of things to do and important things are held up by unimportant things. Your thing might be important, but it also might be a problem holding back more important things.

So Google has forbidden the use of "New" in the title of an app.

OP used "New" in title of an app and now complains about Google enforcing the clearly stated rules?

This has nothing to do with the question if Google should have the right to set these rules. If the are somewhat like a monopoly in the app market (at least for Android) or of any (maybe rightly to make) argument against Google's businesses practices.

As far as I can learn from the posting and one comment Google not only has every right to shut down the account, but must do so not to ensure that others would point this out as an example and argue for their apps to be allowed these words in the title.

And that would probably make the whole crappy app store even worse for the end user/consumer.

This is probably the correct answer in most circumstances, unfortunately. It's just the circle of life. Acquisitions are rough and if you aren't being significantly incentivized to deal with all the extra BS that comes along with it, then it's time to move on.

Historical bank runs were associated with a variety of causes; while some were caused mostly by bank failure due to asset shocks, others (e.g. the panics of 1893 and of 1933) were clearly marked by contagion, and even healthy banks were ruined by runs. https://eh.net/encyclopedia/banking-panics-in-the-us-1873-19...

I know, tough idea to swallow, especially when thinking that it sounds like “just launch a web 2.0 startup with a mobile app” after knowing how few people make any money. But I think you’ll be able to look back at this and see it was an accurate suggestion.
Yes yes yes. Exactly. For all of its slowness and bloatedness, this is one reason why I'm slowly but strongly coming around to GUI apps made with html/css, like Electron et al.
