> Companies are comprised of people and those people are almost always the ones making the ultimate decisions.

What would be an example of a company where “those people” (who comprise the company) are not making “the ultimate decisions”?
I think the key thing here is that even though he was placing a burden on his employer and teammates, the arrangement was well understood by both parties, and the employer agreed to accept it.

If someone wants to do something non-traditional and not inform the company about it, then the onus is on the employee to make sure their "odd" work habits don't impact others negatively.
It wouldn't be that hard to come up with a standard set of controls, buttons, knobs, sliders, that could be used everywhere, but conform to a standard data bus protocol, so that you wouldn't have to have miles of wire in every vehicle.

Such components would allow for the cost savings of control by wire, without the danger of control by screen.

If I’m meeting with someone and it’s all status updates and pleasantries, I try to change it, and, if I can’t, to leave. If you find every meeting you’re in to be useless, consider the common factor.

When done properly, 1:1s are powerful. But they require at least one side to be willing to be vulnerable. To talk about problems and weaknesses and needs. That doesn’t come naturally to most of us, and requires practice and intent to become habit.

My Toyotas head unit has similar behavior issues. It will connect to bluetooth and start playing the song as soon as you turn on the car, only no music will come out of the speakers until you pause the song, then press play. Why do I have to manually "wake up" the speakers instead of the head unit? Probably because this software took one engineer no more than a week to write before it was shipped out full of these annoyances that would have been avoided had you, you know, tested out connecting a blutooth device to the head unit before production even just once.
My wife (then fiancee) and I found something similar in the attic of an apartment building in Cincinnati. Didn't have to go through a wall and it wasn't locked, but once inside the attic had low ceilings and looked untouched since the 1920s. I'm sure people had been up there but it was full of antiques and had what looked like original wallpaper everywhere. Very old rotary light switches too.

Are you serious? Old Youtube comments were the dumbest, vilest shit. This was commonly understood and accepted across the internet. Almost anything would be an improvement from that.
It really depends massively on the videos, for some engineering videos I see comments that are insightful or make me die laughing. Though for other things that I would guess are for a similar demographic, like lock picking lawyer, every comment there could be the same for every other LPL video "click on 3, 2 is binding" jokes, comments on how it's never a fluke, comments on how fast he opens it or how bad the lock is, etc
This is great. Note it is co-authored by James Snell who I know from Node.js core. He has been a very prolific member working on things like QUIC in Node and web APIs.

I can definitely see why this could benefit his work (at Cloudflare) a lot since it would enable caching of results currently done through POST queries.
I'm started to get annoyed at these types of aspirational porn articles referencing the "Great Resignation". Where they get vignettes of folks who quit their already well paying job for something "more fulfilling". I'm glad there are people who are taking the time to reflect and find something meaningful.

I just wish writers could bring more attention to the folks who are stuck in low paying jobs and can't quit. Because they are scared of retaliation from bosses, or have to support other and don't have the time. We need people to talk about worker rights, bringing the minimum wage up, greater social support (at least some damn healthcare). Even worker unions if you wanna move past being politically centrist.
I rarely have found 1-1s 'effective', and I've experienced them in four different companies. In stints as a manager, I never have them.

First: like all management, their usefulness depends utterly on how effective the manager is. In my experience, most managers just use them to 'chat'. Which is invariably a waste of both our times.

Second: Most things I want to talk to a manager about, I can talk about anytime. We just talk as the need arises. In my experience, most managers schedule them 'just so we have available time', which really means "I don't have time unless you're on my calendar".

To be an effective manager, I need them to be available, to communicate well, to listen, and to give me feedback and guidance based on what they hear. And that has nothing to do with a regular '1-1' meeting.
Prior to their Microsoft deal they produced a variety of games with different settings (the Marathon universe which linked to their earlier games and forward to Halo, Myth I/II which were RTS with rich lore, and Oni which was a close-combat game that functioned as a precursor to the likes of Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs in terms of the mechanics).

With Halo, the single-player and lore began to tail off to focus on the multi-player market, and their other settings and styles of games were all discarded in favour of an FPS treadmill.
As a PlayStation owner, do I finally get to play Halo, or is this everything except Halo?
I think that's obvious as well but only because you specified "goods and services stays stable" whereas the parent comment specified they were irrelevant. There is more than one cause of inflation, it has to do with the ratio between the quantity of goods/services and the quantity of money not just the value of one or the other. Lately I think the majority has been due to the money supply changing but that doesn't make all of the other factors false causes that didn't contribute.
I once had a company internal recruiter refuse to look at my portfolio[0], because “I probably faked it.”

That was sort of “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

I realized that this entire industry, that I fell in love with, as an enthusiastic, idealistic, young man, had turned into a miasma.

At that point, I just gave up, looking.

That company folded, not long after. I feel as if there's a better-than-even chance that I could have made a real difference (but there’s also a better-than-even chance that I’m mistaken, and I just dodged a bullet. Having their internal recruiter deliver such a stunning insult does not speak well for their corporate culture).

I freakin' love SICP. It has the same "energy", as they say, that Scheme itself does. It's succinct, and yet it covers nearly all of the big concepts of programming, starting from a nucleus of a few key ideas (including, especially, lambda). It also explodes some of the myths underlying programming -- and by myths I mean "stories we tell to describe the shape of the universe", not "utterly false things a lot of people think is true". One of those myths is OO. You can see how OO works through SICP, and you can build your own OO system in Scheme, so there is nothing irreducibly fundamental about OO; it doesn't even need a language that explicitly supports it!

But uh, yeah, all of y'all recommending SICP as an intro to programming need to stop. Your target audience, if they take up programming at all, as a hobby, as a profession, or as a way to help them do their real work, is probably not going to use Scheme. They're not going to give a single flying fuck that a small language nucleus can give rise to a whole kundalini of programming concepts and approaches. And when they see the unrelenting mathiness of SICP, they're going to doze off. Plenty of copies of TAOCP sit unread on bookshelves for this same reason also.

I've gone from being a Lisp, Jazz, Aikido guy to a Visual Basic, Punk Rock, MMA guy. At the end of the day, what counts is getting it done with a minimum of fuss, not beauty or orthogonality or any of those other concepts. If you want to teach people programming, teach them to program things they care about in a language they are likely to use.
> 4) GM EVs outsold Tesla EVs last year in China.

That's technically true but very misleading. GM owns a 44% stake in SAIC-GM-Wuling[1] which manufactures the Hongguang Mini EV. The Hongguang Mini costs $4,162-$5,607, seats four people, has a 17.4hp motor, and 75-106 miles of range. Its top speed is 62mph. It does not support fast charging so it can only add 12.5 miles of range per hour.

The Hongguang Mini is too unsafe to be sold in the US. It has no airbags and performs horribly in crash tests.[2] The battery pack also has minimal safety features[3] and no thermal management, meaning it will degrade quickly in hot climates and can be destroyed by below-freezing temperatures.

In short: A company that GM partially owns sold more roided-up golf carts than Tesla sold cars.

I have added a simple search feature recently. Calling it a tool for "most recent" notes is an accurate indication of how I'm using it. In fact, it defaults to your most recent note and then you can flip back and forth through recent stuff. The search feature does come in handy when I'm looking for something specific that I know I wrote in the past.
This is good practical advice for how to maximize EV energy use in an emergency.

That said, these vehicles are clearly not made for a long haul cold weather existence. Can they be made to work for occasional use with some planning and prayer? Sure. But these stories and the counter-claims leave no doubt that people who park cars in -30F and do 300 mile one-way trips through mountain passes and deserted highways should stick to ICE vehicles. If you're doing some variant of this with regularity (say 0F and occasional 150mile trips), you should probably do the same for safety reasons, even though EV will probably be fine for all but the rarest disaster.

Regardless of ICE or EV, people doing this kind of driving are well-advised to prepare for having a non-functional vehicle. It's always best to stay with the vehicle if it's habitable and if rescue is what you can count on, but having cold-weather gear, food, shelter, means to create/use external heat sources, and ability to "hike out" are some basic rules of the cold road that even 'tourists' should abide by. If you're doing remote winter driving, basically also pack for winter backpacking. This in addition to road flares, small shovel, tow strap, etc. to support the vehicle. It's less necessary now than it was in, say, the eighties when vehicles were far less reliable, but it's still practical advice: be prepared.
That seems like it's needlessly splitting hairs.

Reddit top comments are notorious for usually bashing the original post or pointing out how it's wrong. It's a very common trope for there being a super upvoted front page story, and for the first comment to be "actually this is false/incorrect/incomplete/somehow a lie". This basically never happens on Youtube comments.

Acquiring is good! Not every company that wants to grow needs to do something original, sometimes funding people doing original things is good. Bad management is not a requirement for acquiring companies, though it is frustratingly common.
We can't really teach that at scale. And even if we could, sometimes you just can't avoid some situations, they just happen.

Most jurisdictions around the world have laws against verbal assault (threatening others with actual harm) or verbal harassment, for this very reason. Verbal interactions can lead to very real effects (people have been driven to suicide, for example).

Some people we interact with are just cuckoo and if we can't get out of there quickly there needs to be a way to keep the situation under control.
Profanity seems to do it. Even in a positive context. I have had it happen recently where I added a comment but it never made it into the comments. There was no error.

There may have been the word shit in my comment. But it was polite and constructive. Meh. Makes me not want to bother and I don't.

You're cherry picking bleeping from that post. There is no type of censorship the BBC and TV regulators have not engaged in throughout its history. Bleeping, cutting away, using euphemistic terms, selective editing, not permitting discussions at all, demanding artists record versions with words like "cherry cola" seamlessly inserted in place of the inappropriate "Coca cola" for broadcast, banning other songs for openly political reasons or just because a senior exec hated jazz, excising material that might be subject to libel action, avoiding giving representation to political views sufficiently far outside the Overton Window, censuring presenters for expressing their own political opinions, even relatively unusual ones like requiring Sinn Fein politicians' statements to be revoiced by an actor just in case the original vocal inflections carried any coded messages to terrorists.

The type of edits engaged in have not changed at all, merely the subject matter, which has always had an ideas and politics and offence-based dimension but now takes a somewhat less conservative stance on what is and isn't appropriate. Arguing a threshold has been crossed because casual racism has replaced other things like homosexuality or mocking royalty on the long list of reasons the BBC might deem a sequence inappropriate for broadcast in certain contexts isn't a principled preference for freedom of artistic expression or the circulation of political ideas, it's a culture warrior's opposition to antiracism specifically .
I suspect the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic has something to do with this, though.

In particular, the demand is such that we urgently need hundreds of millions (or billions?) of doses. That takes a lot of effort to roll out. Most vaccines probably don't see use at that scale and speed. An HIV vaccine, for example, would probably initially only go out to communities with higher risk.
Same story everywhere. Fixing inflation is a long and painful process; more so the worse inflation already is. There's no way inflation can be unwound in one election cycle without popping asset prices. No politician is gonna want to unwind this in a timely manner because it will mean their certain downfall (and by the time we see the payoff, in several years, people will have already forgotten the fiscally responsible steps taken by the politicians which initially looked painful).
No, sorry. That's your opinion, and it doesn't have anything particularly "better" about it than anyone else's. You'll have to engage in explaining why you think other people aren't allowed to have one, and until you get your way you'll have to deal with their opinions.
What exactly is the "false mainstream view that can never get corrected"? I'm likely out of the loop to some extent, but WRT, e.g masks, that was retracted and corrected; vaccines prevent transmission/reception, that was retracted and corrected. What else am I missing, or is it simply that people don't like "flip-flopping", which is strange cause there wasn't massive outrage at the way "cigarettes don't give you cancer" was propagated, or Absestos, etc

I think the other thing that pushed me to put it back on after experimenting with it off was the absolute dearth of inventory Youtube apparently thought was appropriate to show me.

Then I started getting the 10m+ ads that seem to be randomly OK for some reason? I don't think I could stomach another experiment.
If the manager mentioned it, then it very well could have. Even if just on a subconscious level. I don't see anything that shows an audit of their thought processes, so you can't rule that out.
No, the problem is absolutely technological. Easily getting huge visibility with anonymity and no one gatekeeping you was a much more limited thing prior to internet.
In the case of Nintendo, they've agreed to support cross-play, which Sony refuse to. And their consoles and brand are very different from XBox. Very few people are buying a Switch instead of an XBox or gaming PC; they're more likely to be buying it as another way of gaming.

I see it differently. I think we are seeing that console makers are realizing all the money is in games and not hardware, so they are buying up studios left & right. They also want to offer subscriptions to games which is easier when you own the games themselves.
