Tech employees really do live in the most hilarious bubble.

Anyway, at my company (F500), if you take over 30 days unpaid, you need to reapply for your job.
That's hilarious. I also ran a tiny URL server off my SS5. Nowadays that service would have been cloud based and cost $1k/mo in AWS costs for the same amount of users.
>many other countries who are in a way worse situation do not get the same help

Then why aren't YOU helping those in worse situation from many other countries that are not Ukraine?

Help is not a random charity, countries are funded by their taxpayers so the taxpayers in a democratic country should have a saying on where their tax money should go to for help or else their leaders will be voted out come next elections, and if many EU countries are biased for whatever reason to help Ukraine or Ukrainians, then it's their choice to do so regardless of how you feel about it. Life is merciless and inherently unfair to almost everyone and whining about the fairness of it on the internet won't help anyone.

If this unfairness bothers you then vote against this or put your money where your mouth is and donate it or go to the middle east or Africa and help the poor people there.
IMHO the solution is probably to de-emphasize the metric. Class bottlenecks are probably bad. They’ll always happen, but it shouldn’t be the only route to a good life.

The fact that they lost a court case, rather than the users, says something about their implementation. There were several VPNs where this was not the case.

I think this is a great question because not too long ago we struggled with the opposite question: How can electron-based molecules exist at all? (Funny that now I have to differentiate it from antiproton-based molecules...) The old model of atoms where electrons 'orbited' classically/astronomically interpret the electron as literally circling around the nucleus, and because a moving charge radiates energy electromagnetically it should shed it's orbital energy until it reaches the nucleus. This was a big conundrum way back before we settled on quantum mechanics, which solves this by recognizing that electrons 'orbit' is more like an acoustic standing wave and that there are a small number/quanta of available states that the electron can possibly exist in. Electron orbitals are not continuous or near-continuous, they are very much discrete, and there is some minimum activation energy required to shift between the various orbital states.

This quora answer actually looks like a reasonable description of the issue past physicists faced: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-electrons-in-an-atom-keep-a-dis...

So I'd guess that the reason why the antiproton's orbit decays is because its orbital energy levels are "continuous enough" that its orbital energy can decay smoothly down to zero. Maybe this is related to the fact that the electron is relatively massless compared to the antiproton.

I think it's cool that we found a state of matter where the old model of atomic orbital motion that we interpreted as a paradox might be a physically accurate description in this circumstance.

I more thing I hate about amazon search is that they deliberately fuck up the search results when you sort by price.

Like if you are looking for a graphics card (on amazon.in) and you sort it by price then relevance totally goes out of the window. It will start showing results for fans, cables and everything else with the first card on 20th page. Sometimes the search results don't have the word in title description. It's so annoying.

P.S. also the number of search results drastically decreases by applying the sorting. How can sorting something reduce the results by half.
I have been experimenting with headscale as well. I have it set up and everything works nicely but the Tailscale OSX client actually cannot automatically relogin.

Headscale has the preauthkey, it is still valid even but I need to do the tailscale up --login-server ... dance every time to get it connected.

Not ideal.
Independent creation is a defense to copyright infringement, but only if the accused did not have access to the original work.

In the BIOS cases, this means that the implémenter can produce the exact same assembly code as the original BIOS and it’s not copyright infringement, but only if the implementer never saw the original code.
I got the opposite read regarding their mental health. This was a very clear and well thought out statement of reasonable boundaries, especially for someone volunteering their time. I admire them for it.
IMHO they should pivot it into a beautiful native or electron UI for neovim. Rebuilding all the LSP, task, etc. stuff in a bespoke editor is clearly a ton of work and maybe not paying off in the long run. Get all that stuff for free from neovim. Make a plugin that starts users off in a more familiar mode-less editing experience so the switch isn't noticeable.
I’d throw in that cruise prices are probably as low as they’ll ever be also. I’m curious myself how a cruise works. It seems like US to Europe is 700-1500 per person, and it makes stops at a few ports in Europe.

What Visa do you have? Will they allow you to leave at the first port or is that against Cruise policy? If they let you get off, then just have a hotel booked at that destination. Settle for a days and then book the train to your final destination.

Last but not least, it’s not hard to get your pet designated an emotional support animal. People do this very easily in apartments that have no pet policy. If you can get that, then just take a flight.
Pick a population growth rate and I can tell you when the minimum possible power used to keep each person’s consciousness running at 100% speed even if you strip away all the messy biology and just function as a uploaded mind on a perfect computer, still exceeds the fundamental capacity of the universe.

Of course it may turn out there’s “One Weird Trick To Make More Matter And Energy In The Universe While It’s Expanding (Physicists Hate Him!)”, but that’s not something one can foresee, because if you could foresee that kind of thing reliably we’d already know about the trick.
Well, since it's not like the US where all this information is easily accessible and mostly reliable public record, most of what we have is interviews with people who have been released (and therefore must not have been sentenced to prison), but that still reveals that beatings, threats of rape and murder, and fines even for things which are on paper not illegal (like single-person protests, which are being processed as illegal organized protests because of similar subject matter to each other), are routine.

I feel like it should also be added that part of (not all) the reason we use logarithmic scale for these things to begin with is precisely because their "damage" or impact is not linearly correlated to the energy released from the event (same goes to dBPL used in sound pressure).

Unfortunately, it's not linear to the logarithmic scale either so it's hard to get a intuitive "feeding" from it.

I'd say it's something in between but closer to the linear scale in earthquake's case.
Same reason Gulag prisoners were released.
It's a bureaucracy.
The law says that this "crime" warrants a 15 year sentence.
So he is sentenced to 15y. He is kept in the same labor camp with thieves &c.
If he survives, he walks, because that's what the bureaucratic protocol says.
Sometimes there is a separate rule that people like him are to be given an extra, say, 5 years for some "regime violation".
However, the point is that if _all_ political crimes warrant a life sentence, then the deterrent value of prison disappears.

Often it's the author themselves using sock-puppet accounts. One of my claims to semi-fame is that I was one of the first to identify a particularly now-notorious YA author as a barely-literate review cheat. (I won't name him because he has spent almost twenty years since then trying to retaliate e.g. with fake legal threats and doxxing combined with some libel of his own, and I'm not interested in fighting another round when his frequent searches for his own name lead him here.) There's at least one Hall of Shame I know of for authors caught doing this, and it has many entries.

For books and many other things you have to simply ignore five-star reviews because the few that aren't fake are kind of clueless ("product arrived quickly"). Often you need to ignore one-star reviews as well because they're packed by competitors and people who couldn't read the directions. There's far more actual information to be found in the middle/mixed ratings.

I still remember asking for a mathematical co-processor for my birthday so I could run CAD at home (my family owned a tool and die company, so I got to see all the cool tech they were using).
Something that the article glosses over that I often ask about these kinds of businesses is _how exactly_ one finds and documents their costs. The author gives examples —- keep track of your time, keep receipts, etc -- but often a creative process is so organic that it just doesn’t feel as straightforward as that.

In startups it’s popular to use accrual accounting methods and, if you’ve ever had an opportunity to look at a startup’s books, it can get complicated. Several years ago, I worked on an enterprise product that had a bunch of variables and a long sales cycle. Without good accounting practices it would’ve been easy for us to screw up pricing and take a loss.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the variables that go into a creative process are nearly as complex but the scale is smaller and documentation slimmer.
That's actually awesome. I was purely thinking from the POV of a derailleur.

Skipping the derailleur protects away yet another complex external part that may be prone to failure. I like it !

Yes, matrices got everywhere in the 20th century. There is basically no field that doesn't use them nowadays.

But any demonstration requires modern knowledge, and matrices are one of the very few modern thing students see. If you want to show them 3D graphics, you will need to teach programing first. Yeah, some will know it by them, but schools also can't rely on that.

(As an aside, chemistry also has some weirdly modern knowledge on its curriculum. Also out of context, just thrown in there because it's important.)

The nearest application I can think of is for modeling stochastic processes, but students see so little statistics that I imagine that will only change the object on the "why am I even studying X?" complaint.
And how exactly does one approach those 3 outlined questions?

There's the risk of heroism too... you're indispensible because you're that one person who goes above and beyond and everyone sees you as the go-to when shit goes wrong.

I've been there a lot, not on purpose but in some organisations it's either that you get your hands dirty or you spend 10x as much time watching the buck being passed. It's definitely one of those things as a developer where you need to learn some management skills or end up burned out of the job.

Several years back, Facebook courted me to help them "combat abuse" in its many forms on their platform. But then I discovered that it was all bullshit, and they just wanted me to join them for their mundane ML/data engineering work such as doing video recommendations. They have a serious abuse problem but apparently choose to ignore it.

So it goes with Amazon. They have many issues with useless reviews, bad actors gaming the system, inaccurate descriptions, and so on. I get that it's a hard problem, but it's not like this is a mom & pop shop here; Amazon is a $1.5T company with incredible resources at its disposal. That they haven't made this a fringe, near negligible annoyance on their retail site seems to me a strong indicator that they either don't really care or they actually benefit from it in some way.

Time is an illusion, and mostly group-think. On a more philosophical bent, we are living in infinity, only we don't know it because our minds can't comprehend infinity, and many would go mad to think there are parallel universes where all possibilities are entertained.
Such a great point to make. Specially since I see myself in similar situation. Maintaining a legacy system on which all the devs except me who worked in past have left. It is critical system or so I heard but as far as promotion/raise go, almost nothing for last 3 years.

However instead of getting angry I get that I may be important to direct boss or one level above. But as far as company goes they are all in cloud, next generation and what not. So my criticality is inconsequential in larger context.
Whoa. That's so devious.

Launch a service, gather data, shutdown the service. Nope. Not trying. I am now scared about the years of stuff I have on gmail.
I meant the mechanics involved are complicated and not as simple as "seller Foo manually swaps out the listing details of product X for product Y."

But yes, you're right. The short and sweet of it is that it's just a gamble getting anything you can't physically validate or verify upon receipt off of Amazon.

>And how is devolution of power to the states (and then counties, and then cities) an "experiment"?

"experiment" in your quoted text refers to the first sentence in the paragraph you quoted. No need to try and twist the meaning of words by taking them out of context. The whole thing is itself a very common reference to the writings of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann to describe how "a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country."

Well yes, but that's just Biden missing the point entirely as usual. The military is sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, so if a mass insurgency is ever needed to counter some future totalitarian government, much of the military will be on that same side. What Putin has been saying is a whole lot more serious than that.

Yes.

No, but the accused having access to the original work makes it less likely that a trier of fact (jury or judge depending on the kind of trial) will conclude that the creation was independent rather than copying.

It's an entirely different set of teams who run anything "on a server". Besides the gap in teams or legacy demarcations of responsibility, their next disqualifier is having to think about maintaining a server. At best, the network team has just barely automated their switches & routers with Ansible. The VPN concentrators are treated as black box. And NetEng seem to prefer to stay within that box!

I'm going to stop you right there and point out that there is an absolutely massive space outside of Top 40. If you're willing to actually expend some effort to go looking, there's undoubtedly music out there for you. And this is nothing to do with age. I'm 40 and there's more new music coming out that I like than I can keep up with. I was recently talking to my almost 60 year old uncle and he finds the same to be true.

Graeber's argument is interesting but it's always bothered me a bit.

Monetary wealth is societally and legally recognised claims on wealth or production. It is ultimately a form of information, and a form of information that is specifically a relation between the individual (or other legal entity) and the societal wealth at large. There is no inherent conservation law or other limitation on this, an as recent international responses to actions have noted, that recognition can be withdrawn, to both financial wealth and property, should a society (or its oligarchical / plutocratic / autocratic ruling class) decide to do so.

The backstop to demand for money in a fiat economy is new money creation through a central bank. Should banks lose money on net on loans, it might be that the least worst is recognised as the best performer, and others liquidated or re-liquified through central bank actions. Debts themselves can be inflated away (this usually causes the least dislocation), discharged through bankruptcy, or simply defaulted on (in the case of sovereigns --- see various national debt defaults, and several state defaults in the US prior to the 1940s). Debt expires on death of persons in most modern countries. The estate may remain liable, but inheritors are not.

Inflation is the general predisposition, but not the only option.

You should pick a hypothetical target first. So you got the Tshirt store but I'd pick something more complex. And then go through all layers from the start and make your app modular and take advantage of 3rd party. For example for the Tshirt store. Use a cdn. All your pages should be ssr or issr if not ssg from the getgo. This reduces your server load. And off loads the brunt of your demand onto a 3rd party. (cloud flare, CloudFront)

Then use an auth provider and payment processor. (firebase, PayPal) with dbaas.

All that's left is glue and server less functions. And none of the scaling is something you have to do.

Once you get that then sure, peice by piece you can put it on your own hardware and think it through from there (cdn, db)

Just curious - have you EVER had stock? This is NOT how it works.

Your price and share count gets set when you join the company. They offer you $X worth of shares when you join - say $100k. Price is $100/share then. They then set your grant to be 1,000 shares. That's it. That's it. You get 250 shares/yr or however your team wants to split it up. They DON'T change the amount of shares you get EVER.
