An implicit assumption for an executive is that you actually work beyond your 40hr because your 9-5 is going to be jammed full with meetings, so you need extra time to go through all the approvals, planning, and random stuff that comes up. They are also supposed to be leaders and exemplars for the rest of the company. It would be extremely demotivating for me as an employee to see an executive having one or more side hustles, if they didn’t didn’t also explicitly set the tone in the company or their organization that they encouraged employees to also do this, or if there were ever any kind of overtime/crunch/extra work.

For example I think I’d be quite frustrated being a senior exec at twitter seeing the CEO running another company, being on multiple boards, doing advising, etc (since in that case Dorsey probably wasn’t even putting in 30hr a week). Even as a junior employee, it sets a bad tone that the company is in coast mode, the CEO doesn’t really care because he’s working on the new shiny, etc.

I doubt you actually read any feminist scholars. If you did you'd realize that there's no way to characterize them as they are all over the map, especially since they can fall into so many disciplines (philosophy, literature, sociology, political science, history, etc).

Feminism has an extremely broad remit and it's all based on the idea that actual ideology routinely boxes in half of the population in some way or another. It's just a fact, and thus there is endless study that can be undertaken.
Fun fact: after the DAO had essentially folded, the $PEOPLE token folks were left holding could be traded for more than 10X the value it cost to go in on the DAO.

To this day, it still trades for ~10X its initial value on Uniswap: https://info.uniswap.org/#/tokens/0x7a58c0be72be218b41c608b7...

Anyone who bought more than ~$50 of DAO tokens before the auction could stand to make a profit on the aftermarket even accounting for gas fees.

In case it needs to be said: this all seems crazy to me, but it is what it is.
Well you can’t necessarily, because who’s to say what various methods they’ve discovered. However, if we were to use the most famous recent example that relied on an unknown sender transmitting a GIF containing the compromise, Signal does have some additional protection in that it doesn’t receive messages from unknown senders by default. Rather the recipient must accept the message explicitly.
Bear in mind Britain sent convicts to Australia because it was so remote. 'Antipodean' still carries with it a sense of remoteness in the UK even if the countries may be culturally close.
Terrific point I never thought of. There's definitely a power law, where 80% of the arguing time is spent on the 20% dumbest shit.
You might be forgetting about abuses which don't involve productivity, but go beyond and affect your physical and even worse, mental health.

As a (somewhat lowly) individual contributor the worst case scenario of an individual abusing a large enterprise was probably Jérome Kerviel ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Kerviel ) and I personally kind of believe in a conspiracy where he wasn't actually working alone, considering the amount of things he managed to do, so he was most likely a scapegoat. And even that worse case scenario lost Société Générale "only" €4.9 billion, for a company with a yearly revenue of €24 billion.

Meanwhile the worst case scenario for abuse the other way... is death. There are many, many documented cases of suicide due to overwork and similar abuses. Foxconn was literally installing nets around their office buildings to catch people jumping from the windows.
My PS5 DualSense controller will not charge from my 45W / 60W USB-PD chargers, but will charge from the USB port on the PlayStation, or a USB port on a computer.
I don't think the nuance is lost. It's just that the audience has their own agenda. They might be fully aware of the "AND" and or "BUTS", but will focus on what they want that message to really be.
I wouldn't call this an example of literate programming. At least not Knuth's LP.

Except that massive swaths of people disenfranchised by the conventional systems of economics are also shut out of crypto by its byzantine entry requirements. Yes, people with massive amounts of disposable income interested in trading but with no ability to competitively trade against private firms can find a home in crypto, sure. That has nothing to do with the wealth inequality faced by someone who, say, has to work six days a week at minimum wage to support a family and doesn't have the time or energy to figure out how to benefit from this stuff.
I remember that thing, but it was in a big faraday cage to prevent anyone from getting zapped.

I think some of it is still relevant, like all the money being wasted buying unnecessary equipment during war time. From what I read in memoires written by generals that retired more recently, they probably wouldn't agree with the extreme isolationist policy that Smedley Butler advocates.

Airbags are a funny example to bring up in a topic of unification, because airbags are not unified. The Americans and the Europeans have tried to unify airbag designs so that they don't need different designs on different continents, but apparently they've yet to agree on it. The basic gist was that Europeans want smaller/less forceful airbags, whereas Americans want bigger/more forceful airbags, and this stems from Europeans assuming the driver wearing a seatbelt and Americans assuming an unbelted driver.

I don't but the article was saying iphone is less secure and signal has better restrictions on who can text you than imessage. So use signal on iphone? How does imessage reflect badly on the whole OS especially when compared to a non-default app like signal.
Sounds like the perfect government service experience!
The same author ("cznic") has also built a C-to-Go compiler/transpiler and used it to convert SQLite to pure Go source, so that it doesn't require CGo: https://gitlab.com/cznic/sqlite ... the converted Go code is pretty much unreadable and it's somewhat slower than SQLite via CGo. But a pretty neat idea! I use it in one of my projects and it works well.
"Consumer-grade" iOS probably has a larger R&D budget than all mil-spec competitors combined. iOS also has a larger attack surface but it's not obvious to me that it's a lost cause.

> Why does the IRS even think they need this?

It is very common for the government to use its various arms to institute large data collection efforts in the name of national security. A selfie video of yourself on a modern day phone provides for the government a high definition facial recognition vector for identification purposes. I'm sure you can imagine all of the use cases of having this critical data.

Personal Story: My wife and I travelled abroad right before COVID in early 2020. On the way back, we didn't interface with any customs agents at the airport. Instead, there was a portable robot that took our pictures and advised us to proceed to exit. I can only imagine which image database it referenced for a perfect match to allow entry (passport, driver's license, social media?, etc). From a security standpoint, I would assume that the matching capability/requirement of such system had to have been best of the best.
I agree with your point, but it's got me thinking about how the early mask guidance was so wrong.

Early in the pandemic, virtually all the major health orgs spread the message "masks for the public don't work". Of course, the real issue was that there was a valid fear that there would be a run on masks and not enough for healthcare workers. There was never any significant evidence masks for the public don't work, on the contrary there was at least some flu-based evidenced that they were beneficial, but at best you could say "we don't know".

So I'm very sympathetic to the authorities trying to give simple messages, but in the end the original guidance really bit them in the ass and made a lot of people lose trust. I wonder if the simpler message could have been "don't use a mask, because it means nobody will be left to treat you when your nurse/doctor needs a mask".
How else are you able to data mine and milk the government for juicy contracts?
2 Marines 2 Medals. Dan Daley and Smedley Butler!
Basically he is taking the official US government informational position and the government has gone as far as trying to mandate and force their will regarding the topic. Therefore it has a political and also a corporatist connotation in that there a few companies making billions on the number of vaccines that are distributed and some of those companies despite government help in fast tracking and help financing the development, are holding on to the IP.

Like I said…I don’t care what he does with his art, or whatever his opinion may be on a given subject, but he is literally known for activism and protest…and a focus on freedom, freedom of speech (Literally had a tour called “The Freedom of Speech Tour”), and anti-corporatism. In this case it appears that he attempted to financially force a corporation to silence someone who’s ideas and speech he didn’t like. It’s at the very least thematically out of character for him, and a bit contrary to one of the reasons I was a fan.
True, that said I think it's viable to argue that just defending America at coastline in WWII would likely have led to an undesirable outcome.

But yes, colonial conflict before after WWII is probably more of a racket.

That said, the cold war didn't stayed cold -- which was nice. Credit NATO (maybe), to be fair NATO is probably also a racket for the military industrial complex (by making countries buy more F35s for example).
The customers dont get internet access, they don’t pay, crappy ISP goes bust.
Yes. That would be a comparison I am interested in. Are there vulnerable and exploitable system libs and components on iOS? How does that fare compared to android?
I fully agree there. In addition to software expectations, state-backed intelligence doesn't require any software (or hardware) security flaw to surveil you. If you're are a target of interest to them, there isn't much you can do.

As you say, only thing you can do in such case, is to do everything assuming you're being spied upon.
There has never been a "rural" empire. You're basically advocating a return to serfdom. Breaking the links between cities and rural areas will just strand people in rural areas.
Cities will get fed, they have the people and the might. The current system is way more beneficial to rural people then any alternative.
The best explanation I’ve seen is that Google only cares about the quality of the results when using completely natural language sentences (which I guess is how most non-technical people try to use it?) rather than the specialized search engine syntax with keywords, quotes, +/-, etc. we learned to use in 90s/00s.

It may optimize for the common case, but unlike the old system, leaves you completely helpless when it fails to “Just Work.”

I agree that debt is the underlying issue, but if we consider that the Fed's only solution to the "network issues" is to "increase the buffer sizes across the backbone" then perhaps "bufferbloat" is contributing to some of the supply chain issues.
This is a very well-written, very deep, and profoundly fair assessment of Rogan and his massive popularity (though it needs a (2020) tag). For the uninitiated, Borges' Aleph[1]—which the article obviously references—is an incredible read (especially if you're a fan of magical realism).

It wouldn’t work on a genuine Hayes modem - those would only listen for commands if there was a pause, +++, another pause, and then the AT command. Hayes’ patent was actually on the pause itself (in-band signaling was already well-known), so the off-brand modems wouldn’t implement it, while still implementing the “Hayes-compatible” command set. Those are the ones you could get to hang up if you could trick the program on the other end into echoing the string “+++ATH”.
I find the Epoxy substitute very interesting - I feel like there could be a lot of uses for an epoxy strong enough to work in Carbon Fiber applications but can be removed with a chemical process at room temperature. Re-enterable potting compound? Fixturing material for machining?
I'm charging that he didn't in fact "get the point he's making".

He didn't make a nuanced reaction that recognizes two different truths, he stated one thing and then stated the opposite.

"I'm a generous person but I just want everything for myself." is not an example of nuance. It's an example of one or the other statement simply being untrue.
USB C has a lot going for it that will hopefully make it last a bit longer. It's loaded with 24 pins, small, and reversable making it flexible in physical aspects and on the protocol side it opts for a "negotiations first" mindset instead of mandating what modes made sense when it was made. Between the two of these categories the need to scrap the entire connector to do something new is much lower now.

In comparison micro-b had 4 pins, latches, and wasn't reversible. Better than before but it's easy to see why that didn't last very long! Eventually USB C will hit that point to but it's built with a bit more planning on being a "more than USB" interface in mind from the get go.
There's a bit of a modding community around the Makita 'LXT' battery system in particular, I can't quickly find it now but I'm sure I've seen USB-C done - possibly only for PD from the battery rather than charging it actually, thinking about it.
ripgrep is, great, but it's a regexp search not full text. Full text search includes stemming.
Peloton and Docusign are two drastically different companies, on very different trajectories. Before the pandemic, the busiest mall in my town had a Peloton pop up store that was a ghost town EVERY time I walked by it (I couldn’t even count the amount of times I went by it). This narrative about “pandemic stocks” just feels like lazy regurgitation without looking in depth. PS Tesla did fine with earnings.

Perhaps a dumb question but why are these folks spending their personal money building a personal lab in their home to do testing for work? Shouldn't their work be paying for all of this? I would never spend my own money for my employer in this way.
> Most things use one of the normal voltages (5/9/12/15/20) so USB PD will often suffice, however not all USB PD chargers support all the voltages. I have a Delta Electronics USB PD charger that does not do 12V.

The issue there is that PD 1.0 was 5/12/20 and then 2.0 was 5/9/15/20. So you can guarantee support for everything except 12, basically.

Making 12v optional is not one of their better decisions.
What higher ups? Where and when the US military is used is not decided by the military. It's decided by politicians.

This resonated strongly with me when I was a young US Marine but I don't feel the same now. It's one of those pure and simple ideas that's easy to say but the world is not pure and simple.

crawshaw/sqlite actually uses CGo -- it's a wrapper around the C version of SQLite. For example, see https://github.com/crawshaw/sqlite/blob/23d646f8ac00d9dd2390...

zombiezen/go-sqlite uses cznic's pure Go converted version of SQLite, so avoids CGo. It's explicitly stated to be "a fork of crawshaw.io/sqlite that uses modernc.org/sqlite, a CGo-free SQLite package. It aims to be a mostly drop-in replacement for crawshaw.io/sqlite."
Have you ever faced a volume of questions that you could not reasonably answer to the degree of thoroughness you prefer? How did you deal with it? I mean, you mention at least one tactic in the sibling thread, but what I don’t understand is your apparent unwillingness to attenuate your thoroughness based on circumstances. Probably I am taking you too literally, but am curious, is your position absolute?

(I too appreciate thoroughness, but also believe that for some things in business “worse is better”. IE 90% thoroughness might cost 1/10th as much as 99% thoroughness, it’s certainly possible to over-index on the quality of the answers one provides)

You asked

> Why do the thorough people always have to empathize and not the other way around?

“Answers questions thoroughly” is a behavior, not part of a person’s identity. If someone gives you a partial answer, that may be optimal behavior for the circumstances, you don’t know, that’s where the empathy comes in. Of course empathy should be mutual, but you can’t be blocked on that to obtain a favorable business outcome. Empathy is a tool in your toolbox.
Focussing on this article (from 2021-07) now doesn't make sense. This topic (Pegasus) is getting attention now because the NYTimes just published a fairly major investigation of NSO, Pegasus, and related politics. (Maybe WaPo wants to piggyback on that?)

But does it always "open the door to more discussion", or do some medical professionals just make judgements based on which box was ticked on the patient form? Presented with an African immigrant patient, is a US doctor going to realise that the patient may have rather different genetics from most African-Americans, and hence information about health risks for African-Americans may not be relevant to them? I'm sure an above-average doctor would realise that and take it into account, but would a below-average doctor (of whom there are very many) do it?

Yep, same thing happening to me... three keywords to define what i need, and it randomly chooses to ignore one of them, and show me irrelevant results.

The only worse search is probably on aliexpress, where you search for "red led", get a bunch of red LEDs, then you sort by the number of orders, and the top results are for other random "red" stuff (it seems as if it searches every keyword separately, but I haven't verified it).
That's the point. If the question led you to not get the job, it's not a job you would want in the first place.

Thanks for confirming my take. This is a little out of my comfort zone.

Do you see a future for this simulation method with increased computing power, or do you think limitations of the method might still limit its applicability. Maybe this is naivete coming from atomistic perspective, but it seems to me that the inability to model reactions that aren't explicitly predefined would be a significant challenge.
I find something about unsourced numbers in this answer and many blog posts uncomfortable. Maybe they are right, but maybe they are just made up to be convincing, but ultimately wrong.

‘Never use recursive functions’ is one of those stories that comes up in embedded. For automotive work it is one of the SAE’s ground rules.

Since The 1980s, when LISPers decried Microsoft BASIC’s hegemony we were told that recursive functions are a superior answer. They are for some things, but as soon as you start coding in assembly (pure assembly, not a few lines of Assembly to optimize a C program) you start to see stack calling conventions as a problem as much as a solution.
