I specifically mentioned the private sector twice. I go back and forth, and I only started off with government because it was contextual where I was replying. It has never happened to me in either context and I left Apple quite acrimoniously.

Apple lying at all is bad. It doesn’t matter to who. It’s potential liability if a candidate gets wind of it, but if these folks are going after the NLRB to address the concern, I suspect it means their lawyer told them they don’t have a case (probably because Apple confirmed their role accurately to the investigation in question regardless of what the credit reporting database says, I would guess).
I'm less into that stuff than the average woman. I mean, I write software for a living, I read speculative fiction, I wear hoodies to work with no makeup. But when my husband and I finally had money for our first real post-futon couch, the one we ended up with happened to be upholstered in chenille, and I knew that, in the same way I knew it was a dark red color. We weren't shopping _based on_ that. We were shopping based on what was affordable. But I still knew the name of the fabric, and if I hadn't, I would have been curious what this unusual fabric was that I didn't recognize.
My math might be wrong, but according your source isn't the annualized month-to-month inflation 7.5%?

(1+0.6/100)^12 = 1.0744.

The year-to-year (multiply all seven rates and then power to 12/7) is 7.1% which is pretty close to 7.5% anyway.

(Also, note that the decrease over the last two months is probably due to the Christmas peak ending. Best case scenario, pie in the sky, for inflation is 3.6% which is higher than my mortgage rate)
This depends greatly on the carriers involved. At least with Verizon (in USA), simply having a PNG header and extension is enough for a file to be classified as an image. If the "image" is 1MB or less, the image doesn't get reencoded.

I took advantage of this back in the day (when I had a severely limited data plan and unlimited texting), by writing a script for my computer that would take a large file, split it into 1MB chunks, prepend a 1x1px PNG image to the chunks, and send them to my number through the email-to-MMS gateway sequentially. Then on my phone, I wrote a script that would remove the PNG headers and concatenate the chunks, giving me the original file.

My workflow consisted of SSH-ing into my PC from my phone, initiating a download, and then running the downloaded file through my scripts. By doing this, I could send up to 500MB per day to my phone without using any data.
Starbucks calls all its employees "partners". Are they misleading future employers in the opposite direction?

It sounds to me like Apple is just another tech company that doesn't confirm titles, and that their generic word for "employee" is "associate". That is not a weird Apple thing; if you go out into the Fortune 500, you'll find a bunch of other companies that do the same thing. Contra this article, "associate" does not in fact mean "low-level employee".
Bike+ owner.

> like and dislike about Peloton

Likes:
- It's soooooo easy to just get on it and ride. One of the core tenets of habit-building is to make a habit easy to do. I can't imagine an easier way to exercise than sitting on a bike that's a few feet from my bed.
- The classes are all high quality. The instructors are charismatic and varied. There are a lot of them and they all have their own personal style. You can find the 2-3 that work for you or hop around. I only actively dislike 1 or 2, but I get why others could like them.
- The classes extend beyond the bike. I like taking their stretching classes and my wife takes a strength class nearly every day.
- The powerzone classes are great and a perfect example of something that can't easily be reproduced by competition that doesn't fully integrate hardware, software, and content.
- People complain about the subscription cost, but $40 a month is less than the ~$100 a month we were spending on 2 memberships to the only gym in a 15-minute driving radius to my house.

Dislikes:

- Delivery was a NIGHTMARE. Just absolutely terrible. It'd take me 30 minutes to type all the pain we went through for delivery.
- Literally nothing else.

> Have you guys noticed a decline in the product, software, classes?

Nope, not at all. In fact, they recently added some boxing stuff which is a new class type for them.
I would guess that if costs is an issue then it must also be balanced compared to the potential profits. If your current $200 solution only allowed you to have US customers, while a $300 solution would allow you to have both US and EU customers, which one would you choose?
Definitely not, deno does typescript out of the box without pulling in a bunch of npm dependencies and tools. It also is taking more of a go or python/batteries included view of building out a proper standard library vs. relying on the community to provide it. And of course deno has a much stricter execution sandbox model where you have to opt in to explicit permissions like file system access. IMHO we'll probably see node get more and more deno-like over time.
I'm sure a non-zero number of ex-Apple interns will try putting "Senior Software Engineer" on their resume for a $350,000 director gig at a startup.

>I expect a lot of chaos with the economy whipping between inflation and deflation over the next few years as the Fed tries to ride the tiger.

So you expect inflation to remain @ the 2-ish percent target but with extreme volatility?

It's an interesting theory, why do you think that?
They certainly didn't treat other humans anything different. In those days "us" meant the tribe or family group. Everyone else was "them", sometimes an ally, sometimes a foe, depending on the situation, resource scarcity and the power of both sides. And those were the violent times, so when there was no enough food for everyone, competition (whether it's human, neanderthal or animal) had to be either scared away or destroyed. That's how all creatures in nature function, it's a matter of survival, there's nothing unethical about that.

I have this theory that without ads 90% of the web as we know it would end immediately. And nothing of value would be lost.

Without all the noise created by the web supported by ads it would be way easier to find what really interests me on the web: hobbyists and people that love to share information for the value of sharing alone. Not SEO optimized crapware with uncountable 5 best this, 10 best that.
This seems awesome. Just this morning I discussed 2-3 projects at work where we’d want to do something like this to save engineering time, without even knowing this existed. :)
I was born in a socialist country, where people built houses. Literally, you built first, dealt with papers later, and pretty much everyone had a house or an apartment. Government and companies built apartments for their workers, people built private houses themselves, mostly literally (every weekend, wheelbarrow, few sacks of cement, a bunch of bricks, a few friends, a case of beer,...).

After a bunch of regulation, now, the "papers" cost more than materials to build, and most of the area is zoned as eg farming area, even though there has never been any farming there. Of course, prices have gone up A LOT, there is a lot of NIMBYism, by people who already build their house, and don't want another one next to it, and young people are basically fucked.

We might disagree, but in places with available land (and there are many), the only thing that stands between housing and non-millionaire people are (local) governments and regulations.

Around 1997 I worked for a company building and hosting websites for folks. My boss, the founder of an internet company said to me "Ecommerce is a total bust. No-one is ever going to send their credit card details to some random company on the internet".

The point is that even folks involved in the industry got the first wave of the internet badly wrong because it's really hard to anticipate the future especially when a bunch of creative people are working on something.

It makes sense. If I'm asked to visualize a cup, I probably first think of an emptiness that can be filled, then I enclose that, while I'm enclosing it I remember that it needs a hole to be filled or drunk from, and an orientation so I can put that hole on the top and its opposite on the bottom so I can sit it on a table - it has become a cylinder, now I remember a particular, very cylindrical glass that I own that has a Norman Rockwell painting screened onto it, then I realize that I've thought the word "glass," so I get rid of the painting and make it plastic. Then I make it blue, probably because that's the first color I go to when somebody asks me to name a color.

If I come across the word "cup" for a little while, I'll just remember that time when I tried to visualize a cup, and think of a blue cylindrical cup.
I don't get the "well technically advertising can be good" argument in its favor, yet it's the most common one I see on this site.

Me too. HireRight was somehow completely unable to contact some of my previous employers. Situation resulted in me visiting old offices in person for proof of employment to satisfy HireRight.

The Treasury pays over $0.5Trillion in interest every year against a total tax base of around $3.75T. Doubling the interest rate would be directly harmful to the government’s financial position. (They could of course “print” more, but at some point that’s adding to the problem more than alleviating it.)

As to why you would want this, I've worked on several projects that take advantage of some things that pulling dependencies only from a local repository can give you. Take the recent Log4J vuln as an example. Immediately on seeing that vulnerability, I disable the JAR file, causing builds to fail wherever that dependency exists until the updated one is added as a dependency and used. From experience having to do dependency analysis on an old toothy codebase, it's sometimes simpler and more accurate to just let everything break and fix the breaking spots.
Yes, unfortunately it won't help you if you use any apps that display arbitrary websites in the system webview. E.g. a reddit client.

> Do you really want people to stereotype all Germans as Nazis and Holocaust deniers? Because I'm pretty sure this is what would end up happening if the German government did not go to the trouble of explicitly banning these things, regardless of how few people actually advocated them.

No it wouldn't. This is a ridiculous argument.

> It's basically a free boost in optics and national pride that benefits practically all Germans at basically zero cost, because it's only banning the most obscenely offensive and pointless idiocy.

The cost is individual liberty. Which BTW if you haven't been paying attention has been eroded severely all over the globe in almost every western country over the last two years. So no it is not zero cost.

Of course rental affordability is not tied to asset pricing.

Simply put it's tied to opex + cost of capital. And is opportunity costed against other investments -- but keep in mind real estate has high exit costs (realtor). So you'd have to think you can do much better on another investment to sell (and drive the asset price down) for it to make any sense.

The insight is that the cost of capital is roughly fixed at the time of purchase. If someone bought a place in 1970 they can price bid down to nearly nothing because that's their operating cost and the purchase price is only a fraction of landlords who bought recently.

Supply and demand create the conditions where landlords either compete on price, choose to sell, or potentially declare bankruptcy.

> Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

Maybe it's just me, but I read this as a joke. As much as we dislike YAML it's not really something we have the luxury of ignoring, especially in the infrastructure field.
As part of the market, your opportunity costs go up. Meaning you need a higher sale price to offset a higher buying price if you want to move.

Or that locking in that current cost means less inventory on the market.

Housing costs going up across the board is only good if you have a surplus of inventory to sell that doesn’t need immediate replacement. Ie, not your primary home.

People owning only their primary residence are at best breaking even, despite amortizing their (cheaper) purchase price beyond a market increase.
Still, 2% over 30 years when inflation is running at 7%+ is negative in real terms. So maybe not infinite, but the key point is that investors are rewarded for holding effectively anything when real rates are negative.

Even in the case of reproduction, you don't end up with a pristine copy in a new cell.

Absolutely. If cost of goods goes up 7.8%, most companies will round prices up by 10%. Increased costs is a great excuse to not only pass costs on to the consumer, but sneak in some additional "while we're at it" price rises too.
I think the idealism lies in the ability to reset/reboot. How much system behavior is undefined? From a security perspective, it's nearly impossible to tell exactly what malware did when so much data is ephemeral.

Can confirm anecdotally. Ending my 2BR apartment lease at 963/month to move into a house in a different location. Currently being re-listed at 1300/month.I was paying 850/month last year.

Last year I looked at renting a similar 2BR apartment in the new place, but prices jumped from 1300/month to 1650/month in like 6 months. So just went ahead and bought a house.

Information can spread without advertising being involved.
Basically search is the answer. Search on Amazon, search on the Internet and find the manufacturer's web site, etc.

This is where you're wrong. It's the other way around.

Asset pricing is what's correlated to rental affordability. If the tenant class, in general, can't afford rent increases, rent won't increase, and real estate asset prices will stop growing, all other things being equal. Obviously, if money becomes cheaper for landlords, then they will borrow more of it to buy the same properties. But this does not give them any more power to unilaterally set rents.

But all in all, the tail does not wag this dog.
