Bad behavior should be punished with no regard for quotas. It’s a moral thing. Fairness dictates that crime shall be punished. Why should the arbitrary number of jail cells or beds influence how many should be jailed? They must have estimated the wrong number if needed cells. But criminals should not be let off the hook for this miscalculation. The better debate should be whether certain punishments match the crimes themselves or whether certain laws should be removed. We have systems for this. But it should not be selective enforcement of laws to appease a small segment of people who oppose jails in general.
So, let's assume you started on April 1st with $500k. That was 1.8045 years ago. At a compounded 75% returns, you now have $1,936,655 and you expect to make $124,904 this month alone on invested capital. And yet you bother to broadcast your secrets and (waste your time by selling subscriptions for $1397/month. If you did this for 5 years, you'd have $82mm, and you want to risk getting that edge traded away for $1397 a month. Huh.

Smells fishy.

I was never an American teenager in this century. IDGAF what color my "bubble" is, and neither does anyone else I care to communicate with. That said, even in the olden days as a teenager there was a lot of social pressure for things that just don't matter.
Disinformation isn't a matter of opinion, but crucially a matter of fact. If we disagree about what is disinformation, there's a good chance you are wrong.

Convicted criminals that are suing claimed to have suffered side effects, this doesn't show anything in my opinion. Most of all I never claimed ivermectin has no side effects, just that the studies show it does no harm. You can drink water too quickly and get a belly-ache, so I think it goes without saying ivermectin can have side effects. What is interesting is that it doesn't increase negative outcomes in the context of a deadly disease.
Northern Italy was an Urban rich region, its not suppressing that they had more intellectual output for 100s of years compared to Switzerland.

Switzerland really only emerged in the mid to late 19th century. However the intellectual and scientific output since then on a per population bases can match the Italy.

> Victim-blaming is about blaming the vulnerable and powerless.

Oh please. We're attempting to redefine victims based on power theory just like we tried to redefine racism based on power theory? Please don't do this.

It entirely isn't a factor whether you have power or not when determining a victim. (Or are we going to say men can't be raped because they could have resisted?)

Labomotomies won the Nobel prize.

They were supported by the mainstream medical and science establishments. Rosemary Kennedy, JFKs relative got one.

People were giving labotomies to their kids to calm them down, advised by their doctor.

Great article on Howard Dulley one of the kids whose parents gave him a lobotomy advised by a doctor.

Okay, so that was a bit stream-of-consciousness but it sounds like you’re saying that dysfunctional relationships are much more harmful to a gifted child’s (or any child’s) future prospects than any perceived lack of proper education. I could agree with that.
If an European indie want to access the European market they got to follow European law.

This argument of being at an disadvantage seems similar to that of app developer using the iphone market and paying a 30% tax to apple. That is a huge disadvantage compared to side loading the app on android which has 0% tax. The only problem of using side loading is that you have to leave the apple market space, or hope that places like EU put in laws that changes the regulations for the EU market space for phones. In that case it will be up to apple to decide how much access to the market space is worth.

I see lots of return for government spending. I wasn't addressing inequality in that statement. Also, it could be much worse; we don't know what it would be without the current government investment.
It really doesn't sound like Office Space at all. Maybe more like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind crossed with Vanilla Sky and the classic sci-fi novel Dayworld (That future world of 7 people each living one day with the rest in suspended animation, but the main character lives all 7 days...)
I'm not asked to or rewarded for it. I don't even get performance reviews. In the past I've seen the effort I put into documenting and architecting rot swiftly when things are handed over to others. That said, I do document any manual processes. If there are very non-standard or complex things I will write something about it. If I'm doing tutorials or knowledge dissemination I'll do call recordings for later distribution. It just doesn't seem like I'm rewarded for that kind of stuff so it's not a priority for me.

Ultimately, I blame management and incentives. I think most line levels would like to spend a lot more time making things bullet proof, documented, commented, automated, and diagrammed. But management and leadership want features delivered and progress made, even at the cost of a less robust and understood system. This seems like a reasonable trade off, but it should be made consciously. I don't think that it usually is.

To answer your questions -

Do you teams document these architectural designs? Barebones wiki. Terraform.

Have I perhaps lost touch with modern practices? The tech industry is VERY heterogenous in terms of practice. It's not the 80's 90's with the regimented "this is how we build and deliver software projects" waterfallesque processes. A lot of people have been burned by that over the years and have decided to go to the other extreme and throw a lot of process out of the window. A lot are doing scrum, or kanban, or agile, or any of a dozen other names for how we actually get shit done.

How do you grow teams (or defend the design from Mgmt / Auditors) if this information is held in peoples heads? Tribal knowledge dissemination to new hires by various current employees.
I wonder if an ideal vaccine would mimic natural infection. A natural infection grows and grows and grows until the immune system finally gets going and snuffs if out, over the course of days or weeks.

Perhaps a slow-release vaccine would work better than a multi dose regimen? Two or three huge doses doesn’t really mimic anything like what an infection actually looks like.
Most small towns in Alaska have PO Box only service, not residential delivery.

But, it looks like the covidtests site correctly recognizes at least some of these zip codes and is allowing non-residential addresses, which is impressive.
Hmmm, SendGrid offers 100 sends per day for free and their "API" has an SMTP feature. I'm sure there are others. SMTP relay for outbound? I'm thinking of giving it a go.
How is this anything like Office Space, other than taking place in an Office and occupying space? This seems like an extended Black Mirror to me.

I am guessing the author was lead to this thought because near the end of the trailer is this Office Space esque quote: "what is it we actually do here?" (similar to "What would you say ya do here?" by Bob Slydell)

Also, in Office Space, Initech is bureaucratic and top heavy with management and push over employees that seem to accept the mistreatment until the last straw: management hires consultants to downsize the company. That decision starts a chain of events that eventually causes Milton to burn down the company and retire to the tropics with the stolen money. In Severance, I am guessing there will be a similar existential crisis for the business which arises from management smashing one moral barrier too many in the course of trying to achieve greater profitability.
can you imagine if that was happening now? haha no way right
Thanks, good catch. So Motorola had a SEP (standards-essential patent). I don't remember anyone ever talking about that, but that's probably my bad.
> I'm pointing out how idiotic it is for someone to be trusted with a 700k house who can't be trusted with 100k mortgage.

But this happens all the time when people rent anything. You can rent a Lambo, doesn't mean you can afford to buy one. Trusting someone not to destroy something while the use it isn't the same as trusting them to pay you the full value of it upfront.

Otherwise it seems like you're suggesting there's a missed opportunity to grant mortgages to financially unstable people. Isn't that what caused the 2008 financial crisis?

> Someone who can't be trusted with 100k [sic: mortgage] shouldn't be entrusted to inhabit a house worth 700k.

But they are and it works just fine.
Most people are fine with them. My dad has hearing problems so we always watched movies with the old fashion “white on black bar” closed captioning. As an adult I just get distracted by them and it prevents me from watching the movie.
What about about.gitlab.com/releases/* ?

Not trying to belabor the point, and I'm sure there are nuances (especially with blog posts), but releases seem (a) likely to continue forever & (b) to use well-formed URLs.
This was my experience as well. I've been far removed from that crowd. But yes, it was never due to dire need to feed mouths as many like to frame it. It was convenient, it was a rush, it was something to brag about -it was a quick buck. As I mentioned elsewhere, it lead on occasion to these guys ending up in the pen, then getting out and going back to the same thing. Sometimes they'd get hooked up with a real job for some time, but the side thing was always an option. Some people got out of it, some didn't. I've lost track now, so don't know, but some succumbed to addition and didn't end up well.

What's odd is you have people who are very ideological and dogmatic and refuse to believe this is the case. They don't see themselves becoming thieves just because, so therefore no one else would do such a thing.

But look, do people have to be in the mob? Is it risky to be in the mob? Do they not have any other options? Yet, people get in to the mob. It's not lucrative. They could get regular jobs, but no, they like the atmosphere --well, that was years ago before the feds pretty much put a lid on it.
This is super helpful feedback and totally agree. We just started working with a great studio for art / animations (before, it was a mix of freelancers and asset packs we could find, as we were mainly bootstrapping). The production value should become much higher really soon.
So, does someone have a docker image that I can throw at a vps somewhere that will take over the job of email for my domains, and will also push notifications to my android phone?

We're not beholden. They are simply good ideas that extend beyond the medium (letters, telegrams, and emails included).

If someone is hostile in a message towards me, and then deletes that message, in a situation where this eventually goes to court or some other formal proceeding, I need evidence of their action for my own defense.

> mistakes are easy to make and speaking for myself I appreciate the ability to correct them.

Mistakes can be corrected - spelling, factual, or otherwise. Followup messages, staring to correct a spelling mistake, talking on the phone, leaving a voicemail etc.
> Tax avoidance was worse in the past than it is now. Many of the loopholes were closed in the 1980s.

I'm pretty sure the first statement is false, as IRS enforcement has been cut back and tax evasion is at record levels, which was the basis if a recent attempt to fund enforcement (rejected by the GOP who want to 'defund the IRS').

The 1980s tax law changes greatly reduced the portion paid by the wealthy, if I understand correctly.
Good teams still document these. Amazon is apparently a leading example where the documents are considered the source of truth.

However many organisations have limited technical leadership enforcing quality, and management layers not willing to invest in these assets.

Unfortunately some 'modern' practices are being interpreted to make the processes like Agile the most important thing, and reducing the importance of things like code/system quality and knowledge management.

Having a good technical writer pays dividends
Yeah, the title seems incorrect, with the article making no reference to Office Space but just to The Office.
Victim-blaming is about blaming the victim. It has no other qualifiers attached. Having it mean anything else runs counter to the composition of this composite term.
Strict punishment is the "easy" answer. When people don't know what to do, it's the first they reach for. (From the dawn of human history, "an eye for an eye".) It seems like it should work (who would want to be in prison for the rest of their life over a $20 Amazon package), and it seems fair (if you didn't want to go to prison, you shouldn't have stolen). But, the "seems" comes from up in an ivory tower of wishful thinking.

But watch this. If I told people I was a software engineering manager and I docked my employees' pay if they didn't complete sprint goals on time, HN would be outside my door ready to murder me. "Punishment doesn't work! How can you be so stupid? I hate you!"

Ultimately, we have to treat the cause and not the symptoms. If people have a purpose and their basic needs met, very few of them are going to jump onto a derailed train and steal random Amazon orders. But in LA, people don't have their basic needs met. They don't have a place to live. They don't get to shower in the morning. They might not even know where their next meal comes from. Sadly, prison is probably an improvement, and selling your $20 Amazon item to someone on the street for $10 guarantees that next meal. So taking some packages off a train is a win/win.

As a society, we can do a lot better than this. We don't need to sacrifice a $20 Amazon item to give someone their next meal. We could just give it to them for pennies on the dollar. We don't because... I can't even think of a reason. Puritan work ethic? A desire to punish people out of unfulfilled BDSM fantasies? I don't know. But it seems pretty fucked up to me.
I’ve worked on systems in the past that had different levels of ip geolocation data precision. When the precision was low, they would pick the midpoint of the known area (maybe a whole state) to “fill in” more precise data (ex: the city). Since even “nowhere” is typically part of some town limits, we’d see otherwise tiny towns show up way too frequently.

My guess is that’s what’s happening here.
A system that could do what I’m describing would also solve the problem you mention tho

Sharks are much more likely to come after you when the Moon is ominously full
Fastmail discounts for longer terms. I'm on the 30GB plan because of a custom domain and it was $90 for 2 years in Nov 2021, or $3.75/mo. Now I see it's $95 for 2 years so they've had a recent price increase apparently.

Fastmail does give you access to your 30GB via FTP or WebDAV. It also has a web-based file uploading tool. Then you can create links to share files or folders with others, like a picture album. I did this a little just to try it out, and it was very straightforward. Whereas I could never figure out how to do it with iCloud and gave up.
An opinion from the other end: In 1st grade (7-8 years old), I tested out of my grade and was able to go into the gifted program. My parents gave me the choice instead of choosing for me, and I chose not to because I had just made some of my first school friends and didn't want to leave them.

It's been well over two decades, and for almost all of that I've regretted the choice.

In addition to not getting the academic boost the gifted program might've given me, socialization with general-age peers didn't really help; I remained the odd one out for pretty much all of my school years, it was only come college that that really changed.
We're kind of experts at technological navel gazing.
Lots of comments, as usual for this topic, suffering from what I call "The broken glazier fallacy".

In "the broken glass fallacy", windows are smashed. In "the broken glazier fallacy", it's the glaziers who essentially have their arms broken (or at least, their modern tools are confiscated).

Automation does not harm the economy or populace at large.

The issue is not automation, but the *speed* of automation.

GitLab's been good for our company, having it all under one roof has been nice.

But recently I've had (and continue to have... still not resolved) a pretty unpleasant experience with their support software. It just seems like the typical comedy of errors where a series of software integration papercuts between them and Zendesk adds up to a really bad experience, made much worse by the fact that our issue hasn't been fixed which is making us more stressed.

I am a member of multiple Gitlab groups and owner of one. I am simply not able to log in to the support portal to leave a ticket. Then I replied to a zendesk ticket and then somehow I get this message about support entitlement. I mean why not just speak in English? Why use terms like "Support Entitlement" – just say, which org/group are you with? Or just look me up in your database. An email address is unique. So that's confusing.

This roundabout has caused us to spend days and days just to reactivate an account that was locked out due to 2fa (not Gitlab's fault). We haven't even gotten to actually solving the problem. We're stuck on basically "I don't know who you are from your email address so you need to tell me who you are" even though I'm using the owner email address for that account.

I'm sure Gitlab's support TEAM must be great, but it fails spectacularly due to what seems to be flawed Zendesk <-> Gitlab integration itself. Please fix this guys, I know you're on top of everything else. It just feels like a forgotten set of tools.

Why can't I just SSO using my GitLab credentials into Zendesk?

Text is much less disruptive to the people around you and also private. I probably would not be comfortable reading out most of my texts aloud without thinking twice even if recognition were perfect.

(But it is not really just text. People send multimedia content all the time.)
Agreed. It's similar to how BBM was a killer feature for blackberry and brought so many people into that ecosystem.

It may not be enough to keep a company going forever - apple has many other ways of propelling itself - but its powerful enough to get people in the ecosystem
So for the pictures that have been all over the news this week... did the train derail before people started stealing stuff from it? Could Union Pacific have just maintained their infrastructure better and avoided this whole thing?
Ok so I'm dramatic. Still though it irks me to see this weird tech community rose colored utopia where money doesn't matter. If you want to make change in the world take the money and donate it somewhere. Its not like the millionth mobile free game is doing humanity any good.
>That's true; in practice executives may create a little flexibility in determining when they were received. This was a problem for Apple/Jobs:

I think because it's a poor message to provide people who struggle with their weight and nutrition.

In fact, CICO completely neglects the nutrition aspect of what you eat.

So people tend to be somewhat cavalier and claim it's easy to lose weight, it's just CICO.

But that really isn't the whole story. As any actual qualified scientist in the field of nutrition will tell you.

Of course you absolutely would lose weight eating under your daily calorie requirements of anything at all.

However if you just ate sugar you'd probably began to lose even more weight in all the wrong ways as your body began to shut down and fail due to malnutrition!

FWIW: I've been a participant on food studies with actual scientists at my local Uni :-)

So the above is just what they share with me :-)

YMMV :-)

I believe they go further than that, recommending vaccine to anyone unvaccinated (not just uninfected+unvaccinated). I may have misread, I don't think the study they present really justifies that reach as the difference between vaccinated and not vaccinated is not statistically significant when someone has already recovered. That is per their own evaluation as I've read it.
In California, “we” decided this in 2014, when the state did away with mandatory GATE requirements for districts. It’s now optional, and schools aren’t doing it.

Migadu is 20USD/Year for multipe domains ('almost' unlimited). Inbound (200/Day) and outbound (20/Day) message limits do apply but we probably wont't exceed those, but even if I find we need to move up, the next tier is 90/Year for a savings of over 50USD (more for my CAD) over the Google option.

I've been thinking of moving my mail there (using it for another domain already) for a while anyways, this just provides the incentive to finally move it over.
