Instead of giving advice, I’m going to talk about how it was for me doing the same, switching after 13 years at my first employer.

There was a lot more learning at the new job than I initially thought. Much of the knowledge was domain-specific, which I hadn’t realized there would be so much of (and also how a lot of my existing knowledge proved unique to my previous employer), but much was also in technologies I just hadn’t worked with before. The first year was a good lesson in humility.

Also that first year, I felt … lost. In the old organization I was the goto guy for lots of questions, and in the new organization things happened around me but often didn’t involve me, and I struggled to get traction on those projects around me even when I knew I could be useful. Similarly having influence on the decision-making took a while. At the old place my opinion carried weight with all the right people. At the new place I had no reputation and no connections, and my opinion was heard but initially carried little weight. I had to build up some social credit first to have that kind of say. Also, the way decisions were made was completely different, and it took over a year until I understood how to influence them and I started getting real agency over my work.

Finally, at first it was quite lonely. I knew it was important to get to know a lot of people so I tried to have a lot of different contacts and kept a list of names (because I’m terrible with them), but even though everyone was very nice to me I didn’t feel a real bond with them until after a while, and I missed the coworkers from my old job during that time. Forming a bond with my new coworkers ultimately happened through the projects I was doing with them.

> they can't do much if you stop paying rent.

I'm aware of specific stories where bad-faith tenants have made enforcement difficult, but I'm also aware of enough specific stories from the other side where tenants -- even some who have committed no violations -- have found themselves without housing to know that as a total generalization, these statements are false.

And you don't get to a resident-sourced homelessness crisis if landlords are truly powerless (and sure, coastal homelessness numbers are driven by bus-ticket policies elsewhere, but it's not the whole story).

AFAICT there is in fact a medium between "landlord can eject you whenever they want for whatever reason" and "no one can make you leave, ever, for any reason". Whether or not it's a happy one probably depends more on court outcomes than any apparent shortcomings in statutes, but if anyone has specific complaints about the law, perhaps they should point them out.

Why Bad Comments Are Good, Actually
Not if you bought a home a decade or two ago and house prices went up around you with no action of your own.

I drive an old Honda Civic and my neighbors all have Tesla, Porsche, etc.
I think that "everyone else" actually made money from this. Zillow overpaid for houses and then was forced to sell them for the actual market value, so this $881M was basically free money given directly to the people Zillow bought from.
From what I've heard is a common thing for landlords to do is a "pay to vacate" where they show up at the door with $1k in cash if the tenant will just leave.
Exactly. A commonly missed attack vector is just intercepting plaintext http and blocking https, so the browser thinks the site doesn't offer https and will just continue in plaintext. The same criticism applies to smtp using starttls, an attacker can suppress the starttls command and the default is to just continue in plaintext.

This is why an https only mode is important. In Firefox it can be enabled somewhere in the settings.
Portland and Austin are the very essence of "trendy city" those places are very expensive. I'm not arguing that people move to small towns. There are hundreds of cities in the US with 100,000+ populations (not even including the metro areas). The idea that each of these cities is unaffordable and without a job market is just wrong.

Everyone wants to live in NYC, SF, DC, Miami...etc because the other areas aren't cool enough for them.
> (When was the last time a computer, smartphone, or GPS gadget spoke to you in a male voice?)

All the time, on both my PC and my Mac. The default for screen readers for the blind has historically been, and largely still is, a male voice, or at least an artificial voice in a typically male pitch range. Maybe that's because we were early adopters of speech synthesis, and the early robotic voices sounded better at lower pitches. But even today, on Windows 10 and macOS Monterey, the built-in screen reader uses a natural-sounding, but still male, voice. On mobile platforms though, the screen readers use a female voice by default, at least in US English.

I’m not sure this is quite accurate; there are scientific measures of audio quality such as bit rate, sample rate, total harmonic distortion, dynamic range, etc.
I'm not at all sure why people make snap decisions on such superficial information. From the article, "There are several immediate problems with that approach, but the most glaring: Malofeev condemned the war in Ukraine—not an easy task for someone who lives in the heart of a murderous authoritarian regime where dissidents are sometimes imprisoned, poisoned, or killed."
"splinternets" already exist though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenNIC, granted, OpenNIC doesn't have one or more nation-states theoretically backing it. That being said the article takes the alarmism a bit far IMO.
They don't need to hook an IP to a tracking code for this sort of testing?

From what they've said it's very basic information they're looking to collect. "This installer was downloaded on X date. The installer was then used and run on X date." sort of thing.

No IP is needed to check anything regarding that.

Attaching an IP in the process somewhere for tracking would only be needed if you were checking things on a deeper level. For example, where a user might download the installer but is downloading and sending it to someone else, where it gets installed on a different IP/system.
I'm summarizing the status quo, in which there are governments and other advocacy groups as well. My point is not that those should go away, it's that under the current system, there are cases where lobbyists (or corporate interests generally) can provide pushback that prevents runaway regulation and nanny-state-ism. If there were just profit seeking companies, and no opposing forces, that could be bad too, and maybe cause the kind of things you're talking about.
No, I have thousands on my desktop, and none on my movie tablet and prefer it to stay that way.

Not to mention I use safari on the iphone. I don't want work or personal mixed either.

Even if did want some of these, companies are not trustworthy any longer.
Cool effort. Keep up the good work and then we can see what new great things you make and do.
Same, I find this to be a bizarre practice. What's the point if the snapshots are revised?
That's great thank you. Are there any other complications I should be aware of?
Civilization is a recent concept especially in light of evolution. Is it really surprising that people suffer so much stress and anguish trying to live in this civilized manner, whose rules are just whatever bullshit constructs we put on ourselves of the age? Maybe we are so stressed out because we evolved to be out foraging during daylight hours, and instead we toil in caves with drop ceilings and put all kinds of strange expectations on ourselves.
Anyone whose worked at amazon isn’t going to be surprised by this. Much of Amazon’s retail/consumer organization is heavily product management driven.

PMs are under pressure and incentivized to release features or somehow show impact that translates into some bottom line metric. If you can show your work attributed X% decrease in cancellations or Y% increase in bottom line profit, especially with a small engineering team, that’s your fastest path to promotion. This leads to a culture of churning out “features”, often at the expense of the end product or the expense of customers.

I guarantee you there were a/b test results that were summarized and twisted around in a document, presenting the test results as a net win for customers.

And there are second and third order effects - constant tweaks and duct tape on top of monolithic systems that prevent Amazon from being innovative. The company makes shockingly little investment in this area, and when you couple that with engineers constantly churning, it becomes clear that product teams deliver some dark pattern or other unhelpful feature because the poorly strung together architecture limits any real innovation.

The engineers may have their own opinions, but at the end of the day nobody gives a shit about what they think except on design and scale concerns. What’s the operational/support cost of X? If we promise Y to our leadership, can we deliver it by this date?

Most of the recent hiring when I left, especially for engineers, were study abroad students from China or India. They wouldn’t say anything being afraid not to rock the boat, especially because of their work situation. If a manager puts them on a development plan, they will most likely get fired and have to leave the US. The company has found this structure so advantageous to its business that if not for Indian and Chinese talent, in my opinion, Amazon in its current cultural state would implode.
It’s not (just) about regulation; even inside Germany, there’s a massive price difference between similar properties in different locations.

But I certainly agree with you about the second point, it’s frustratingly hard to getting the relevant people to accept that allowing homes to become investments also makes them unaffordable.
> It's like no one could agree on happy medium between "landlord can eject you whenever they want for whatever reason" and "no one can make you leave, ever, for any reason".

No place in the US actually has the latter unless you've been letting them squat for half a decade or something, the issue is court delays and landlord's wanting to make their lot out to be worse than it is.
>landlord can eject you whenever they want for whatever reason

I don't understand. Why aren't landlords able to do this? Isn't it seen as immoral to steal property from an owner?
Just buying from Amazon without using Prime requires getting past three dark patterns. "No, I don't want free delivery" is one of them.

Amazon still offers "free delivery" without Prime, but the web site gives you a date further in the future. In practice, they usually deliver faster than that.
There are dark patterns to keep you away from that option, but it works fine. I don't have Prime and haven't paid for Amazon delivery in a long time.
Indeed. I now have firefox configured to always try HTTPS first. A warning pops up if it doesn't work, and you have to click through it if you want to proceed. It turns out that a large number of sites not only have http://example.com redirect to https://www.example.com, as you describe, but https://example.com doesn't work at all -- resulting in this warning. Clicking through it, you end up at https://www.example.com.

> "Fail to overthrow"? Are you kidding me? Have you seen what happens to dissenters in China?

Nothing worse than has happened to dissenters in every single country on the planet that overthrew absolute monarchy with farming implements throughout history.

Short of military intervention, now impossible due to nuclear war, it is the duty of every nation's citizens to democratize their government, or else they are complacent and enabling. And hey, I get it, rebellion is scary. Compliance is comforting, relatively speaking. But don't demand pity points if you choose to accept subjugation.

I would say it greatly depends on the the wifi, starbucks wifi and your local provider wifi setup greatly differs. Nowadays, scanning the network in starbucks won't show your neighbours, unlike the local coffee shop. Starbucks and the like use some commercial grade stuff to provide wifi.

Which means if the US went to war with X, you can’t make cars. That’s a critical distinction when talking about defense contractors.
US savings accounts is a very competitive industry that's traditionally been very responsive to underlying rates changes. All it takes is for a single bank to decide to raise their consumer rates in response to the rates they're turning around and getting from the fed (more accurately the inter-bank lending rates, but the fed has tight control over that market).

I agree that it would be great to add more simple savings products, but you have to ask the question of where the yield will come from. If yields don't come from the fed (dictating inter-bank lending rates), and they don't come from the private sector (wall st), then where else can yields come from? What novel yield stream could a new savings product be built on?

At the end of the day, people wake up and go to their jobs to produce things, and every penny you earn in value in a savings account (past inflation) has to ultimately come from them, but not until it filters through the wall st machine.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons I really like hot-swap keyboards. But you're 100% correct. It's hard to test so many switches when ordering a batch can be easily $40+ USD.

I've found with my moonlander I can get by with swapping about 10 keys on one side and using it for a few days as my test, but then I'm stuck with 10 keys that I might not like.

Luckily I recently got one of my friends into mech keyboards and we have similar but different tastes so he tends to like the keys I pass on, so I just sell them to him at cost if he likes them!

Might check around and see if there's a local keyboard meetup in your area (or close enough for travel) to see if you can borrow some switches to try or sell your unwanted switches.

It at least gives me hope that if regulation and profit margins push corporate buyers OUT of the market, we can return to sanity and I can someday own a home.

But given this country's history of regulating giant corporations... more likely we'll just do nothing until homelessness balloons even more and the vast majority of homes are corporate owned. Then we'll have to wait for a VC bubble burst before they start selling all of the homes and tank the market.

Thats because your neighbours probably won’t like you opening a rooming house in their residential neighborhood without some kind of consultation with them on the zoning and appropriateness of such a thing.

I’ve seen houses where every room (including the living room) is occupied by a foreign student and the ‘landlord’ is running a slum rooming house. Thats what you’re not supposed to be able to do without getting approval. It impacts you negatively to avoid impacting your neighbours without consulting with them.
Thanks, happy to see you love the product ^_^
I can't tell if this is serious, you are calling it insane that a minor should be allowed to eat hamburgers and fries at school? If you are serious, I'd say this supports my argument that we need to counterbalance these extreme views, and that coincidentally, industry lobby ends up being on the other side, and helping normal people who think it's ok to enjoy a burger sometimes
Audio is tricky because, yes, there is a part of the quality curve where better gear and setup really does matter. But there is a large segment of the curve beyond that where it's like... homeopathic electronics. A $50,000 HDMI cable is not going to improve your listening experience.

I think of "audiophile" as encompassing a little more of the latter than the former, but yes the term is ambiguous.
As a curiosity, since you're probably better versed in this than I am, does the situation change if you yourself didn't live there? I'm pretty sure around here (300kperson city in Canada), the rules are different if one of the roommates is the owner or if it's a purely rental property... which seemed even more confusing!

> Why aren't landlords able to do this? Isn't it seen as immoral to steal property from an owner?

Well, for one, the government should enforce contract neutrally - so if you sign a contract leasing your property, you can't unilaterally break this without cause.

Second, we as a society have an interest in giving people time to move their stuff out and find a new place to live.

I remember reading an article about how a large proportion of tech venture capital ultimately makes its way into the pockets of Silicon Valley landlords.

Georgism posits as a general principle that a lot of money is captured as land rent.
I agree that gaming laptops are a bad idea. I only suggested the ROG because it's a good value if one were to get one. They have the limited hardware customization of a laptop and the portability of an all in one desktop. Because the money goes into the performance, a lot of them seem to be built cheapy as well lol. This System76 thing, (btw, likely a rebadged Clevo or Sager given their history) has a plastic bezel, maybe that's normal idk.

I like the idea of a nicely built ultra book with an eGPU. But I'd imagine the performance would be lost compared to PCIe, not to mention unpredictable support.
Yeah, was reading this at work and immediately had to hit back

Not to detract from the very good point you are making, but wining and dining stakeholders sounds exhausting. I would definitely consider myself "on the clock" for such an activity.
Yes, but most aren't relevant at the point where audiophiles are sinking a lot of time and money into it.

Essentially all audio today has a high enough bit rate, sample rate, THD, and dynamic range such that a human listener can't tell a difference.
I agree for these two cases, but more generally the market has some inefficiencies when good companies self-immolate like this.
This is amazing advice!
I've never had issues requesting a chargeback if a service auto-charged me that I didn't desire to use or be charged for.

I've done this to the NHL, Comcast, Sirius, Uber, etc. Considering some places don't even offer a way to contact support (Uber), chargebacks are the only way to handle this sometimes.
My 60% doesn't require 3 keypresses for any key. This is with out of the box configuration (vortex pok3r).

Muscle memory is something you gain over time regardless. I was just tired of my keyboard taking up so much deskspace when I basically never used 30% of the keys on it.
99+% of Python code is not intentionally using dynamic typing in order to take advantage of wacky SICP algorithms. It's good that Python allows that flexibility, but it's also good that in much more common cases you can indicate that a function argument should be a string rather than an int and have IDEs and linters be aware of that.
A town close to me has lots of land to build new homes, few restrictions, fast fiber Internet and prices are still going up way faster than before which seems to indicate multiple things are causing this.

The Golden Bough (a book written by a turn-of-the-century anthropologist) considers questions like this[1]. The third chapter of the first volume discusses the principles of "sympathetic" magic being based in the concepts of similarity and contagion. One thinks immediately of voodoo dolls and garlic. It is perhaps surprising that there is a kind of logic at work here!
