Yes, just before the pandemic we moved from a major city out to a rural, mountainous area. The area we moved to is much quieter and more full of nature, and yet we can somehow get fiber/gigabit internet while we could only get cable in the city. I hope to never have to go back. I don't miss the traffic or airplanes or crime. I do miss some of the entertainment opportunities, but it's only 2 hours to the city and there are plenty of outdoor activities to do now. My biggest complaint is lack of good restaurants, though this has prompted us to learn to cook better.

Exactly how is this a breach of the agreement? Formally this is done by the HK government/police. Is a breach of the general principle of two systems, or is there a more specific clause that is breached?
Re infinite,
Kinopio also uses tricks like this where the <canvas> you paint on is only viewport sized but moves when you scroll to give the illusion that it covers the page.

That said, as cool as infinite sounds, you might not even want that irl.

Truely infinite space, like in real life, is harder to find things in, and the content is likely less focused on a single topic, and therefore harder for a human to parse.

(That said, I’m the kind of browser tab user to starts closing things after I get to like 10)
I’m definitely weird so I can relate :) (kinopio creator here)

> How do you know if you have a right to take them?

If someone says “This is $5.” And if I don’t pay them $5, then I feel like I don’t have a right to it. If it takes paragraphs of text to explain why despite not paying them $5 I have a right to take it, then I feel like I don’t have a right to take it.

Perhaps. But things like Log4j might help us: while in the previous century (2k problem) making a potential problem largely go completely away, it might be that in 10 years such an endeavor may be a simple task.
This "playing golf with government minister" should be called out for what it is: a probable or possible bribe. It won't be money in a brown paper bag but the result will be the same. It's endemic. We like to think bribery and corruption happens to other countries but there's plenty of it in the UK: it's just higher up the totem pole and largely accepted.

I don't know anyone outside of a heavily commissioned life insurance agent who thinks whole life is a good deal. You're flushing massive amounts of money down the toilet in the form of agent commissions and other fees. It's just another tax shelter for the wealthy, after they max out more attractive alternatives.

Just to clarify, I meant retail tapes I (read: my parents) owned. I never overwrote rented tapes.

I recall rental shops would have rewind machines, but I don't remember them ever checking the content of the tape.

Maybe people were just considerate. Maybe the threat of having a whopping fine when the the next unhappy renter returned and complained about the tape, causing the shop to check the rental history, dissuaded such behaviour.

Or, maybe people respected the institution. I used to really like video stores as they offered affordable access to entertainment and were just nice places to visit.

>Afghanistan was invaded because the people in charge of it were tragically unwilling to turn over their unruly house guests

The Taliban were invaded because they refused to hand over bin Laden without the US supplying evidence that he was guilty.

It's hard to overestimate just how much the US was baying for blood at that point. It's plausible that waiting for evidence might have meant paying a high political price.

This bloodlust was later channeled into manufacturing consent for the invasion of Iraq.

The big loophole is the provision for China's intervention in matters of "National Security".

This is exactly what has been used to craft very vague language that basically allows authorities to treat anything that goes counter to China's official line as a "threat to National Security".

It's so vague that self-censorship is now omnipresent in what was, just a few years ago, a bastion of freedom of speech in Asia. Newspaper and political figures are afraid of being targetted for their perceived dissent, and there is no real recourse, with pressure on judges to fall in line.

It is a farce of course, but there will be no international action. The British have no recourse to enforce the treaty. China will invade HK with tanks before they release their tightening grip on it, and the world will watch and do nothing of course.

It's not just democracy that is under threat in HK. There never was any to start with. It's plain freedom of speech that is under threat.
I didn’t go down that path, I went down the SWE path, but I have 2 close friends who I graduated with that decided to become actuaries.

We’re all early 30s.

One of them earns $250k as an FCAS in a reasonable COL city. His job sounds easy, 40 hours a week, no stress etc.

The other got a job in a tax haven, doing something related to pensions and annuities for a private equity company, and gets paid close to $500k. He’s Canadian so he pays 0% income tax. His job sounds fairly stressful but I have to admit, it makes me doubt my decision to not go down that path. He’s currently saving $400k per year and plans to retire at a very young age.

Don’t get me wrong, my career path is great too, but I’m not earning one the big money associated with FAANG etc. I make a nice “above average” income and I enjoy my job.
I've lived in those areas before and have considered going back. Probably my main consideration is lack of cultural diversity. Not just for personal enjoyment but I want to raise my family where they can grow up with people of diverse backgrounds.

A question about number 4. By forwarding address, do you mean to a real email address? Denmark has a similar solution, but it can only be accessed via the website or a mobile application. The idea is that the content will almost always contain person information, so it shouldn't be allowed to be transmitted via an unencrypted channel.

Side note: Denmark has a one time pad instead of a smartcard. A smart phone app has since been added, and the one time pad will be discontinued in about a year, sadly.

Thing they don't get is gravity is not energy. It's not even a force.

Gravity can generate motion and one can extract energy from it. But in general some effort is required prior (like sun energy that fills up dams which later use gravity to generate hydroelectricity.

Gravitational motion is not perpetual, either. Water flows towards the center of the massive object curving space-time and that's it. It won't flow in a cycle. Unless some other factor spends energy making it flow, i.e. the Sun.

So a stationary generator that has no external energy input to keep motion flowing connected to gravity cannot generate energy.
The audio on this is extremely bad, does anyone know if there is a copy that isn't so difficult to listen to?
I put compensation for roles here at Follow Up Boss. We tie our level and step salary ranges to salary data from a company called Radford. We set it to the top 10% nationwide from this data. If it goes up year after year we increase salaries automatically.

I have felt this approach to be a good one overall for our org (currently 75 people).

In many ways, it is simpler. We don't have the distraction/time wasted of having these negotiations and lack of compensation clarity during hiring nor do we have staff making wildly different salaries and having resentment internally.

We set a high bar on performance and our definition of 'Senior' is likely more in line with a 'Lead' in the marketplace (which is a discussion all its own).

I find that a lot of candidates really appreciate our jobs posts due to its clarity.

While there are many candidates that apply that are under qualified, I feel this would be the case either way.

Often times, we find really good people who are being underpaid currently for their value. If we end up paying them much more than what they would've taken, it really doesn't bother me. My aim is not to optimize for this salary tuning, my aim to find people who would be a great fit for us, will provide a lot of value to the business, and will want to stay and grow.

Some may say we are leaving money on the table, where in my opinion, at our size, I feel it is the opposite.

I'm proud to say we have amazing retention here, which is such an enormous advantage when you have a good team, particularly in engineering, which I feel other orgs often overlook. Keeping our staff happy (compensation is only a piece of that), they stay here year upon year providing more value to a growing business. This is well worth it vs playing these compensation games where it can contribute more to this revolving door approach and the huge time + energy suck spent in hiring, onboarding and opportunity cost for the business.

UK has all means to successfully use force, and secure its gains - that's the military reality on the ground.

It has an amphibious force to land a division, more with requisitioned civilian vessels, and it has thermonuclear weapons to threaten chokepoints — more than enough to get the peninsula.

UK is not a small military. With mobilised territorials, and first line conscripts, it will be as much as 10-12 divisions ready on short order.
I do like a bit of systems thinking, and this is a great little blog post for that.

Ambiguity makes us as systems designers uncomfortable, for good reasons. But dispelling it requires a lot of work on legibility, often transforming the subjects of the system in order to make them more legible.

Nothing wrong with fixed point. It's only a problem because people end up hand-rolling their arithmetic (and botching it) instead of using library functions that do it right.
What to consider before joining a bootcamp
Definitely not. Remote work was the key to letting me not move for a job.

I’ve managed remote teams around the world. I know this violates the popular narrative, but remote hires generally either stayed exactly where they were or moved to bigger, expensive cities. We paid them more than they made locally so they often used the new income to move up.

I’ve only known a few people who used remote work to move to the mountains or countryside, but about half of them have moved back. It’s easy to glorify remote locations from watching movies or scrolling Instagram, but unless you have some specific draw to those locations it’s likely not as idyllic as it may sound. You could be replacing your work commute with an extra long commute to everything else you need to do, like grocery shopping.
It’s safe to launder money through banks too. And people do.

ICANN controls the root name servers but it’s an international organization with bylaws and governance involving a number of parties around the world. They can’t force a registrar to transfer your domain without following a formal process, and misuse of what power they have would have significant consequences since they depend on cooperation.

ENS is based on Ethereum, which is controlled by a smaller number of people and has already had one case where they rewrote history when it was financially advantageous. There is no reason to think that in a hypothetical future where ENS came to matter to anyone the same pressures wouldn’t apply because the critical flaw for ENS is the same one preventing popular use of blockchains in general: there’s no way to recover from mistakes or abuse. This is not an idle concern: domain theft happens regularly and there’s a process for recovering your domain:

https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/documentation-is-key-...

If ENS became popular there’s no chance that the same problem wouldn’t occur, and the value of a domain and risk to the public means that people would not accept the answer that the attacker won for all time. Something would happen - whether that’s the Ethereum developers rewriting history again, a global block or override list, or something else.

As a simple learning example, imagine that the Chinese government got the keys for Taiwanese government in a hack or someone stole the keys for Amazon. Do you think that the ENS community’s response would be to say there’s nothing to be done and Amazon should rebrand, or that anyone would continue to use ENS if they did?
Cats are what's keeping me from going full nomad as well. Going away for a week or two works with having someone coming over to feed them, but leaving them alone for longer than that would make me feel bad for them. I'm considering moving them to my parents and going full nomad for a year or two.

Yes reduce and reuse. Recycling is the last the things to consider. Clean the bottles and re-use them. Don't crush them and spend energy making something else with that material.
musl has lasted almost one-third as long as glibc, with significantly less than one-third the number of ABI breaks. as far as I know, the only musl ABI break has been time64; despite glibc's supposedly superior version handling, musl has completed time64 support with headers only, whereas glibc is still in progress.

It's not particularly difficult to imagine a family situation where that would happen - although perhaps not nowadays when there is a much broader entertainment landscape:

1. traditional patriarchal setup, male parent works, mother at home, watches some cable during the day.

2. Kids come home from school / kindergarten at 4, watch some cable.

3. Eat dinner at 7, watch movie.

4. kids go to bed at 9, folks watch cable for couple hours.

5. Kids at age where they have their own tastes, 3 kids, buy 2 movies for adults 3 movies for kids or variations thereof.

I mean obviously the time to do this stuff is a waste of time, but often families waste the time because parents are burned out from various things and the easiest way to get through the time is to give everyone media to consume and forget about them.
No. I've spent time in lower cost of living areas and at the end of the day I love Seattle. The only direction I would consider moving is to an even larger city (NYC, London, Prague, etc. - SF, not so much). There's simply too much to do here. I don't want acres of lawn to mow, I don't want to spend my evenings in the same bar drinking the same beer, and I love being able to walk to things rather than relying on my car 100% of the time.
> I work somewhere WFH doesn’t make much sense and watching as most of my coworkers fight against management on coming back. It’s more than a little weird to be on the sidelines on this.

You've got me a little curious now. Any additional details you'd care to share?
I gave a simple example. The point is that recycling often results in an inferior product than what you started with even after spending energy to reprocess the raw material even for something as simple as a bottle. It's the last thing to consider. Reduce and reuse are the first two.
I'm in my late 20s and used to live in London. Moved my things out of my flatshare and into my parents' place last year.

Since then I've been bouncing around different countries but have found I really like Porto, Portugal. My cost of living is roughly 33% of London (for example: rent, housing taxes and utilities costs in London were £1100 - I'm paying £350 total in Porto). At the same time, the quality of life here is superb.

Your points are valid and i agree with you.

The problem with the article is that it tars the "Engineering Discipline" and practicing Engineers with the brush of implicit incompetence as if they are incapable of "looking at the big picture" and burying their Head in the sand. Nothing could be further from the Truth. The Complexity of the Problem/Solution demands that each of us focus only on our area of Specialized Expertise thus allowing the "Whole System" to be built from "Components". Analyze/Design Top-Down but Build Bottom-Up. Our "Modern World" is dependent on Technology all built by Scientists and Engineers.

PS: Take a look at the works of Jacques Ellul for a fascinating study of the relationship between Technology and Modern Society.
> The pace was more calm and I realized I could still get access to 80% of what I had in the Bay Area. Walking by the lake and having people say “good evening” was a nice change. Being able to drive 10 min and be in the middle of nature was great.

This has been closer to my experience in most cities that aren’t SF, NYC, or a few other notable outliers. SF / Bay Area is fun in some ways but it’s very much a weird bubble
I get the diversity thing but depending on the small town you can get more than SF some times. My neighborhood in SF is 90% white.

But the tech things rings true. However, my only counter is that having a strong community that has nothing to do with work is pretty cool too.
> Are you saying that if I ask an artist to make a painting for me and the painting get stolen AFTER they made it, I am allowed to not pay the artist?

That’s not the situation being discussed. What you’re arguing is more along the lines that it’s okay to sneak into a concert because you don’t like the guy selling tickets.
It's actually super useful, especially since you effectively get a statically sized map. Also, you can iterate over enums, and move forward ('Succ) or backwards ('Pred) or to 'First or 'Last. You can also return VLA arrays, which means fewer "allocate just to return" problems (GNAT uses a second stack per thread allocated ahead of time).
