You might be able to escape with saying 2020 COVID was a true disaster.

In 2021, the government (local and federal) used vaccines as a kudgel to create partisan politics around the logistics industry. Ports were shut down (for no reason), and truckers who didn't want to meet vaccine requirements were barred from entry to major ports such as in California.

In 2020 and 2021 helicopter money designed to help people ended up having a second order effect of making people less likely to work. Even if you made the desired "15 dollars an hour" the left asks for as a "fair wage" for burger flipping you still would make more money being on pandemic assistance.

Moreover, California law in particular has strange environmental regulations that further reduced the availability of trucks. Your average truck is worth a small townhome and you can't just sell it and buy a 2012+ model on a whim.

Indeed, the problem like usual is government interventionism through helicopter money and the manipulation of rates to protect the petrodollar in a crisis. It's not complicated, because like usual the finger can be pointed squarely at the fed and congress. We could've been heading back to normal in 2021 with or without vaccine rates being 99.9%. But the nanny state does not believe in personal responsibility (and neither do their constituents) and so here we are. This was compounded by the incessant bleeting of climate pearl clutchers that further reduced the availability of logistical firepower that could've bailed us out.

At Apple, it's "associate". I can think of other places that's the case as well.
It's ok because the thoughts they ban are not novel, they had their time and were thoroughly executed on.

You'll have hard time convincing anyone that thought "Jews are inferior race and should be exterminated" should have the same right to be considered as any other. When we already thought this thought extensively and even based our actions on it and it led only to unprecedented nhuman suffering.

The best interview experiences I ever had have come down to three related (but different) categories:

1) we've already heard good things about you - are you sure you want to work here doing this?

2) [politely (and correctly)] arguing against the tech interviewer's wrong answer, and being congratulated/thanked by the interviewer who made the error (when he figures out I was correct)

3) answering what the interviewer intended to be a tech question with a business answer (temporarily (or permanently) flummoxing the interviewer)

4) everything was great ... but something about either personality or another candidate made someone else win-out for the role

Did I get the job every time? No. Does that make the interview process that fell into one of these three categories bad? Again, no.

I had the first situation happen 4 times - about 18, 11, 7, and 3 years ago - asked the hiring manager if they were going to do a tech screen/interview, and he told me, "no <Name> works here, and told me you know more about X than they do" or "<Person> told me you're smart and capable - you want to start Monday?".

I had the second one happen (the first time) 15 years ago over a mildly-esoteric (but simultaneously vital) aspect of C function argument parsing. It was a polite exchange, but I stood my ground on my answer, contradicting the guy who asked the question. I got the job offer, and the day I started, he came up and said, "I read the C spec. You were right. Thanks."

I had the third happen a couple times, but most memorably about 7 years ago (and didn't get the job, btw) interviewing with Amazon. The interviewer was completely nonplussed I didn't answer his "clever" tech question in a tech manner. However, limiting the range of acceptable answers to "tech" meant they were nerfing their list of possible hires dramatically

And I've had the last happen many times - at Red Hat, Fog Creek, Zenoss, Rackspace, Puppet Labs, and others. All you can realistically hope to do when interviewing is to do your best - but the decision to make an offer (or not) ultimately comes down to the potential employer. Three of those specifically-named companies paid for my travel to come to interview (an immediate plus, ftr). The interviews at all went absolutely as well as I could have done. But it was not in the cards to play out that I work for any of them.
> The Fed has held interest rates at 0 (negative, real terms) which makes all cash flows effectively infinite net present value.

This is only true for cash flows discounted by the risk-free rate. The discount rate of risk assets comes from the risk-free rate with a risk premium added on top (probably 6% or so today for the average blue chip equity).
I don't think these concepts are comparable. My First Amendment rights cannot be violated by a private website, because I can always go to another website, or start my own. Being deplatformed isn't the same as being silenced, because nobody is preventing you from speaking, or punishing you legally for what you have said.

My Fourth Amendment rights could absolutely be violated by a private website, as they could hand my potentially incriminating private data over to the US authorities, without a warrant and without my consent, and there's literally no opt-out or recourse for me if that data is then used against me by the government.
Agreed. Show me static images, loaded server-side. Everything else can fuck off and die.

I cannot imagine an argument that would convince me that allowing arbitrary code execution on my machine is an acceptable trade-off.
On one hand, they can believe in many things, including jurisdictions, on the other hand, what can they actually do, against a company that is registered in some other country and abiding the laws there?

The problem is that some idiots think that 50.00001% is the same as 99.99999%, there's no fixing that.
> Most advertising isn't about making you feel less cool, or promising increased sex appeal. It's about identifying with a customer, calling out a problem they're having, and educating them about a solution to that problem.

This is quite a bad faith description of "performance advertising".
I would say that looks at the state of things as they are today, which may not be the case as technology advances. If there's a service that provides a real competitive advantage that is only available outside of Europe, then this might exclude businesses in Europe to innovate and compete.
It's simple idea: Ensure absolute truth every 10 minutes, limit supply to 21m. If that doesn't tickle your inner hamster (while running on the wheel).
Death threats are illegal pretty much everywhere but not necessarily subject to censorship. The threat is the crime, not the content. If someone is already dead, I can safely print a whole hardcover book of death threats against them.

On the other hand, forcibly removing content for the sake of the content is censorship. It can be censorship that most people approve of - which they usually do when the content is sufficiently vile and irredeemable - but it's still censorship.
At this point they just try to make the ecosystem even worse and open as many attack vectors as possible, aren't they? Has it become some "funny meme" in the maintainer circle or something? Why there is no SRI for example?
The emphasis in Human Resources is often really on the Resources part.

It's not universally true, but I've seen it enough, to believe that the name influences the way people think about it.
The challenge in public education reform is doing anything interesting/useful without doubling teacher headcount and increasing salaries (at the very least, to increase supply without decreasing quality).

All sorts of approaches are possible with 5 students per teacher, but not 10, and with 10, but not with 20—let alone 25 or more.
This is basically how Deno does things already
Is there GitLab CI support, similar to the GitHub actions?
I agree - I'm not really sure what the parent poster is on about. CORS and SRI are orthogonal, and designed to solve entirely different problems.

CORS is primarily focused on removing csrf (cross site request forgery) vulnerabilities. It doesn't really care at all about what resources you pass around (or their integrity) it only cares about ensuring that the request is coming from a known and allowed origin.
If any of this is due to a tight labor market, or whatever you call it when it's hard to hire, I wonder if it would be better for society for people to negotiate improvements in how they're treated than improvements in how much they're paid.

Like if everyone negotiates a 20% raise, prices of everything probably increase by 20%, meaning nobody gets shit, and their savings are less valuable. So they come out behind, if anything. But if everyone negotiates a four day work week for the same pay, or better safety standards at work, or shit like that, I'd bet prices don't inflate nearly as much, so they actually could come out ahead.

But that seems like a prisoner's dilemma kind of thing. If only you get the raise, you come out ahead. If everyone gets the raise, you come out neutral.
> Because let’s say it, everybody loves YAML. YAML is everywhere.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

I know a lot of people, including myself, who hates YAML with a passion.

First, they hate the format itself. It's very easy to introduce hard-to-find typos. Plus it has multiple versions, no way to tell which one you use, and depending of the parser that ends up eating the file, you may get weird results. It's way worse then just the "Norway problem". Typically, a bad monday morning could look like this:

>>> import yaml
>>> yaml.safe_load('''
port_mappings: 3333:33
alternative_port_mapping: 3333:33,
countries: [FR, US, UK, NO, IT]
1 : 1,0
2: 01
3: 1.0
4: 1O
5: 0b1
6: 0x1
7: 0i1
8: hey,
8.0: oh,
version: [3.1, "3.1", 3.10, "3.10"]
''')

Which may turn into this:

{
'port_mappings': 200013,
'alternative_port_mapping': '3333:33,',
'countries': ['FR', 'US', 'UK', False, 'IT'],
1: '1,0',
2: 1,
3: 1.0,
4: '1O',
5: 1,
6: 1,
7: '0i1',
8: 'oh,',
'version': [3.1, '3.1', 3.1, '3.10']
}

It's a terrible, terrible format, that has too much variability, and way too many foot guns. Especially since typo-writing humans are supposed to edit those with their little clumsy hands.

But worse, YAML is mostly declarative, so no complex system can be described in it. Here we come to the second reason people may hate it: it's usually turned into an even worse DSL.

A very limited, badly designed, half documented and tested DSL with almost no tooling to write or debug the stuff. And each project has a different DSL, of course.

Take Ansible. If your playbook is more than 10 lines, it becomes a pain to write because you are basically using a programming language embedded into a markup language. You have no print() or breakpoint to dive into the mess it does. It has to reinvent ways to pass values around since there are no functions with references to parameters nor return values.

Mind you, this DSL calls Python under the hood, so they could have just exposed a declarative, idempotent Python API, but no. The entire world was required to recreate syntax highlighting, snippets, go-to-definition and so on for it. Which will never be good compared to the infra for real languages.

There are few reasons to decide to use YAML, apart from "this is the only rich format supported out of the box by this system that has comments". Which I totally get, but still.

If one can, use JSON, TOML or XML depending of the case, if we need only values.

And if we need more than values, let's either define a clean, restricted API with a full blown programming language, or, if the use case requires it, use CUELang (https://cuelang.org/).

CUELang is cleaner than YAML on all points, even for just data. It can provide a schema, can validate the data with that schema. It can embed logic. It can import and export from YAML and JSON so you stay compatible with the entire devops world.

And it's not Turing complete, but has useful constructs to repeat, branch and reuse code.
Why would EU building it themselves going to happen? Either it could be profitable for company to operate in EU or it is not. Assuming current US companies are efficient enough and if they couldn't be profitable, why could be a same thing built by EU is profitable there. In fact it is opposite as they couldn't track as much as American companies even outside EU.
> Of course, I'll still have to pay property taxes and insurance on the newly inflated value of the house

Luckily mortgage payments are the larger than that chunk :D
I don't think the physical amount of dollars matters as much as most people do. Credit spends the same as money, so I view total credit as the real thing to watch.

That's one reason why, given the insane fiscal and monetary policy of the last two decades, we really haven't seen hyperinflation yet (and, in fact, briefly saw deflation.)

It's an unorthodox take, admittedly, but Steve Keen is a good economist to read on the topic.
Those aren't mutually exclusive. I was criticizing him, while also using humor in the process. That is, given that they'll change titles while you're on leave [1], these are funny-but-fitting titles they could have given him.

Plus, the extra joke of framing his "exploitation of the organ system's rules" as "pentesting", since "well, he found ways that a rich person could jump the queue...".

That's just flagship phones these days. An iPhone 13 Pro Max is more expensive than an M1 MBA too. Even the regular Pro is the same price. In the US too.
Not even the five dollar footlong lasted much longer than a decade. Outside of new technology, nothing is going to get less expensive over the time span of 30 years. That's guaranteed by the 2-3% inflation target.

I think threaded discussions are planned, but so far it is only for linear discussions.
Isn't it possible that humans simply outbred them? You don't have to "get rid" of a population if you can interbreed and outbreed a given stock, no? It's not like one day they exist and the next they don't; rather, they slowly get absorbed into the larger, faster breeding pop. Or even disease they had no natural immunity for. I presume there would be some conflict as even among human pops conflict is a given --but not necessary one to the end.

> Yeah, like "all jews should be killed". Good thing.

Do you think it stops them from thinking that? Because you made is illegal.

It doesn't.

> It prevents such things from being normalized and makes it harder for them to be put in action.

This gets trotted out all the time and it is nothing but a sound bite. I haven't met anyone hear about an atrocity and genuinely say it was a good thing.

> Yeah, I know what you learned in school that this is worse than actual mass murder, and that everyone should be allowed to advocate for mass murder so that they can be disputed in the "marketplace of ideas".

No I didn't learn this in school. I have no memory of this ever being discussed at school.

I read lots of books about things like maintaining political power, how the state works and economics and I came to this conclusion myself.

> In reality, what you get is echo chambers that lead people to believe that they're part of a majority who thinks that mass murder (of the right groups, of course) is good, and then some of them start to think that it's up to them to just go and do it.

That doesn't happen. In fact the opposite happens. If you stop people from talking freely what happens is that they will only talk with people that they believe to be on their side.

> In reality, criminalizing thinking certain clearly defined wrong things protects the freedom of everyone.

It literally doesn't. Because it allows other less odious things to be criminalised when it is criminally expedient. That is because the precedent has been set.

Presumably they could arrest you if you're ever in Germany.
> why can't we fine the car's owner?

That's the rub, in many places. You can't fine the owner unless you can prove that the owner was in control of the vehicle. I know some identical twins, one was driving a car and got caught by a red light camera with a clear picture of the driver. Both twins show up to court, claim that they share the car, and the photo can't distinguish between them. They got out of the ticket.

Personally, I'd be in favor of turning speed camera pings into an "excessive use fee" on the car's registration (pay on renewal, or no renewal).

Edit: the notion of moving speed infractions to an administrative fee does have some issues -- in cases of dangerously excessive speeding, it seems like a good idea for a cop to intervene. A sloppy implementation would result in double-jeopardy. If a car is stolen and used to commit a crime, but the thief isn't identified, that could result in significant legal difficulty for the owner.
WireGuard is great and is not too difficult to setup on something like a RPi.
I have one running on my home network which lets me access my local network remotely, including access to my local media server. I have another one running at my parents' house for times when I need to RDS into their windows machines for troubleshooting, or if I need to tweak settings on their router. You can also configure your clients (phone, laptop) to forward all traffic through the tunnel, which then secures your connection for when you're over an untrusted/public wifi.
The law is clearly meant to protect an average citizen. It's unreasonable to expect them to know how the web and browsers work. When you instruct the browser to display something, you should take full legal responsibility for what you are instructing the browser to do, because from users point of view it's the website owner who is displaying all of that.
Batteries are generally less able to source current when very cold. At low temperatures, the battery was sufficient to power your phone in a low-draw state (minimal network activity, no screen, low power CPU state), but the voltage dropped when current draw increased.
My external title (which is also what's on my resume) has generally not corresponded to my official HR title--which I might not even know off the top of my head. There's this weird fixation on specific levels associated with technical roles at the big tech companies which mostly doesn't exist anywhere else outside of the very highest levels.

It's also not clear to me from the article that Apple is changing the person's level when they leave. I read the article as saying they just don't share titles. And I'm not even clear that the information is shared at all until end of employment.
Inflation statistics have been rigged for decades [1].

> Looking back on it, most of our essays were not good. They were rubbish.

It makes me cringe to look back at my high school essays, like I was trying to write with a thesaurus. Thankfully, senior year, a friend who went on to write professionally edited one of my essays. He crossed out almost every adverb, and over words like "utilize", he wrote "use".

It made me realize that myself, along with many students, mask their points with language because they have nothing to say, or are afraid to say it clearly (which is a separate problem altogether).
I am aware. Those cases number in what - single digits?! Statistically speaking I am much more likely to die of the flu.

However, communist governments have done that to millions. If you don't see the difference, I suggest you reexamine your principles.
I commute during the leading edge of rush hour. My commute is 50-70min assuming no backups. I'm not "beating" the lights. I'm picking my lane coming up to the light based on how much of that traffic is likely to exit the lane into a left or right turn lane. Getting through them in less cycles than I would otherwise has a compounding effect because the luckier I get early on the less traffic/congestion there is later in my commute (because I have arrived at those points earlier in time). The portion with the lights is a "would be a limited access highway if it weren't for NIMBYs" type of road and speeds reflect this. A minute or more to wait for a light is more than the time it takes to get to the next light. There are six lights. The bulk of the highway is after this portion of my commute so a few minutes at the lights may very well mean I get past the problem points on the highway before they become problems. There's no lane advantage at the first light but getting lucky and not waiting on the first light pretty much always translates to 1-2 less cycles waiting at the second. There is a massive lane advantage there so choosing the proper lane means you wait ~2 cycles less. The last light is the worst and +/-5min arrival time can easily have a ~10min influence (the difference between being several cycles back vs getting right up to it and only. I've been doing this same commute and leaving at the same time for years. There's definitely a gambling aspect to it but there is also quite a bit of improvement to be had if you know where to be.

>On the highway, if you are leaving 2 seconds following distance, and everyone else does too (obviously more than reality), every car you pass on the highway buys you a grand total of: 2 seconds.

Right, but now imagine that working you ass off to pass dozens of cars means four less cars in front of you at the end of your really crappy exit ramp that takes ~30sec/car because of cross traffic. You've just saved two minutes.
What's funny is I don't think of the EU was that high on the privacy list? Doesn't govt slurp up data on its citizens in terms of national health care systems, databases on identity, easy access to online records etc? Is there even a trial by jury in the EU? I thought they had a type of prosecutor / judge that could go rooting around anywhere they want pretty much unchecked.
So basically “burning” is just a fancy word for “deleting” stuff from the blockchain?… what am I missing here?

Through the various replies here, there's more than enough evidence of harm. It seems you are, at this point, merely defending your prior statement and not addressing the issue in any way. We can attempt to nullify all harmful things by redirecting them with some philosophical meta-analysis, e.g.: harm is good because it leads to growth/development/character. Ultimately, that's an easy way to abstract your way out of recognizing facts. The powerful tools available to advertisers and the persistence of those tools across devices & platforms is beyond most minds to resist.
If you want to be philosophical, a better position would be to view such as enslavement because that is the logical endpoint.
