For macOS at least, the cause of this is the ECM driver that is used for the Realtek 8153. If you're lucky enough to find a device that has the Realtek 8156 chipset, which I believe the CalDigit TS4 uses, macOS will use the NCM driver and you'll be totally fine. ECM is a more primitive USB ethernet protocol and NCM is a more advanced one. The difference is similar to UASP vs BOT mode for USB external storage.
That is also valuable, but a different premise! Barbara Sher originally wrote books based on that premise: find Your Thing and you'll shine -- but discovered that some people didn't seem to have A Thing, and any talk of having A Thing made them stressed and unhappy.

The Barbara Sher book for people who want to find and follow Their Purpose is "I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was".
"Refuse to Choose" is for people who want to do 70 things but the thought of doing any one of them exclusively is horrifying.
What bothers me the most is how difficult it is to compete with the incumbents. We all want something better. We all have ideas of what better looks like. We've all (or many of us anyway) have tried alternatives.

But you essentially can't overcome the network effects. There's no way to gradually build a social network when everyone is already on a different one.

We have to change that. Facebook should be required to let other platforms consume content produced by its users. If you do that, you suddenly can cold start a competitor, because switching off of Facebook does not mean giving up talking to your grandmother.

Well then... don't harass people.

I'm not in the business of calling people out to shame them, but I sure as hell would like to know who sucks at managing at specific companies so I don't accidentally work for them.

I was going to say it kinda reminds me of the AI(s) in Neuromancer.

Swyfft Insurance | C# Developers | Full Time | 100% Remote (US only, sorry!)

https://www.swyfft.com/careers

Salary: $100K-180K

Swyfft is an Insurtech, primarily focused on Homeowners. We're not as well known as Lemonade and Hippo (we'd rather keep our equity than give it away, if it's all the same), but from an actual business perspective, we're arguably doing better. We've already got a number of smart, friendly and hard-working developers on our team, and need more.

Our backend is C#/.NET Core/SQL, our front-end is TypeScript/React. The positions we've got are mostly focused on the backend, but some good full-stack or front-end skills would be great. Insurance experience would be great too, but, well, I didn't have any when I started either.

If you check out our jobs (https://swyfft.bamboohr.com/jobs/), ignore the "city" in the job description - that's a limitation of the HR platform we're on. We've been fully remote since long before Covid, and you can work from anywhere in the US.
If you're willing to spend money, go to a platform like interviewing.io and sign up for some system design practice interviews. That way you'll get practice, see some blind spots, and get good feedback.

I always ask the same question when Mastodon comes up specifically and the fediverse in general.

With Mastodon and/or the Fediverse am I locked in to an instance or an app? Can I sign up on any Mastodon instance and take my identity elsewhere? Can I opt to self-host later? If I upload a bunch of photos to one of the Instagram-alikes can I relocate them easily? Is the storage plane separate from the apps?

My understanding of the Fediverse is that it is a federated protocol but apps and instances are still sticky.

Am I totally off base here?
I don't find this argument very convincing. The same argument could be made about security vulnerabilities, but I'm willing to bet (and hoping that this is the case) that Google will invest millions of dollars and man hours per year on security patches and secure systems.

Sure, hackers will always find loop holes. But when that happens we flag that version as vulnerable and release a patch to fix the vulnerability. This is the exact same technique Google could apply to the YouTube spam. They just don't want to spend the money or time to do it.

And what % of that population makes up startup payrolls?

I want to say with only public info + anecdata, that narcissistic etc types get attracted to startups in general (at least to leadership roles ) which makes the feedback loop particularly tough, as the culture of "criticize at your peril" permeates all the way down.

Yes, it should be illegal. Some of them were once upon a time. But businesses keep lobbying saying that conditions like these are hurting their ability to retain profits, and the laws tend to get clawed back under the pretense of "job creation". Amazon fights tooth and nail to not have to pay the externalities of their terrible working conditions, and stop people organizing to make their workplace better.

Google’s former HR chief: Your boss boils you like a frog until back in office
>The military.com link is to a military recruiting ad

military.com is a news and information website that covers topics such as benefits to military members, veterans, their families and those with military affinity. Even if there are links to recruiting, this does nothing to refute the facts.

>Heritage's business is generating talking points and 'research' for conservative/Republican policy

Reality has a conservative bias apparently. The facts are here for all to see.

>Here's a report saying that 79% of US Army recruits come from families with service members.

Which is a meaningless statistic. This number could be the same across all income classes, or again, higher income classes could be overrepresented.

>the military is overwhelmingly rural and does not recruit in major urban areas

That is hilariously wrong. Your own sources shows Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Tampa, Atlanta, etc. all in the top counties for recruitment. "Blue cities" != "[all] major urban areas". Your anti-Southern bias is showing.

>Also, the officer corps is overwhelmingly white people, afaik, in a country that is only about half white people in that age group.

This is to be expected due to requiring a four year degree, among other things. Whites are slightly overrepresented in the officer corps. The US is 73% White (including Hispanic), and the officer corps is 75.8% White (including Hispanic). Asians are also ever so slightly overrepresented in the officer corps.

You can see the report that covers this here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/thf_media/2008/pdf/cda08-05.pdf

I can easily attack your source(s) as fake news outlets (New York Times especially), but I'm not going to use fallacies like you have here. Your sources simply do not back up your claims.

The richest quantile is overrepresented. The aforementioned report was compiled by Dr. Shanea Watkins, a policy analyst specializing in empirical studies.

Unless you have sources that claim otherwise, my original claim stands.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the whole point of using AC that it's easy to convert voltages super-efficiently with transformers?

Having DC power at home seems like the worst of both worlds. Low voltage DC at home causes large losses in the wiring, and high voltage DC causes large losses in the step-down regulator (leaving you with a buck-type regulator operating at the low extreme of its duty cycle). After all, DC-DC conversion relies broadly on turning the DC into something vaguely sinusoidal and using an inductor - so its basically DC-AC-DC anyways.

Am I missing something?

>On a Windows account, a user can change the default browser for their own account.

Not if they lock down that setting via GPO and let the default behavior of remote > local. There's a lot of settings that can't be undone in the GUI and take diving into the registry to undo when set by GPO but then they'll just get re-applied on GP refresh anyways. Talking about who can do what is immaterial to how domains and remote management actually work if they're not designed how you think they should be. The remote admin will always have more control than the local user in this situation, it's been that way for a very long time now and is unlikely to change.

As a normal user, on a Windows box, if you log into say a corporate Microsoft 365 account with your corporate credentials that device may get managed by the domain (pending any admin approvals needed on the management end) in some fashion because by default the local user/MS account user is a local admin and the services and processes that handle all of this run as SYSTEM thus the user has the authority to delegate that authority to remote management at-will.

> GoGuardian products allow teachers and administrators to view and snapshot students' computer screens, close and open browser tabs, and see running applications. GoGuardian can collect information about any activity when users are logged onto their accounts, including data originating from a student's webcam, microphone, keyboard, and screen, along with historical data such as browsing history. This collection can be performed whether students connect from school-provided or personally-owned devices.

I can only describe this as, well, spyware. No need for scare quotes. The OP has every right to be angry about this.

To describe this as a "simple technical support issue" is some blatant euphemism.

If you wanted to efficiently make an efficient deeply variable speed modern motor run on AC, you might very well turn the AC into DC then back into AC in a brushless motor controller.

Indeed, changing the frequency of an AC wave programmatically is incredibly difficult (but possible through a CVT, I guess), you're better off turning it into DC then back into AC through some some form of function generator.

So indeed, the widespread use of BLDC motors is a point in favour of DC electric circuits in the home.

Same goes for variable velocity generators, you will generally have an AC-DC-AC conversion in a variable speed generator. Either that, or a gearbox, those are your two options.
Yeah they should have picked a cool word like "tweet."
I'm not sure I'd use the phrase 'trigger happy' for doctors willing to prescribe stimulant medication to adults. The literature is clear that the stimulant meds are very effective for ADHD and the side effects of normal doses are pretty minimal. https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/12/28/adderall-risks-much-mo... is a pretty balanced take on the risks/benefits.

So, as a doctor, if an otherwise responsible adult is stating that their inability to focus is having a negative impact on their life, and you know there are reasonably safe and potentially very effective drugs that can be tried, what, exactly should hold you back? Likewise, as an informed patient, what is the harm in trying a low dose and seeing if it helps enough to be worth it?
Is there even enough text for that? Wild. Although after a while, maybe you can generate some.

Yes, peak facts that don't care about your feelings. $65k is where the richest quantile for neighborhood median household income starts, by census tract [0]. The linked report was compiled by Dr. Shanea Watkins, a policy analyst specializing in empirical studies.

That's not the point.

You can paint the entire left as "virtue-signaling, caring-about-optics, overly politically correct, social justice warriors", and you can paint the entire right as "racist, misogynist, overly religious homophobes".

And you can certainly find examples of those people, but it's reductive, and untrue for most people, on either side.

Music, cinema, photography, design — all the businesses that have historically represented the stereotypical core Apple markets are composed of smaller businesses.

I am already a part of several Mastadon instances. Each with several thousand users. The great thing is you can create your own environment where just your own users can communicate with each other or you can federate with other mastadon systems to be able to communicate with those off your server.

This is not about branding or making it big. It is more about being able to control your own ability to control your communication channels. No canceling no deplatforming. Just communication. If you don't like someone you can block them. If you don't like the content from their server you can just choose not to federate with them.

This is a platform talked about all the time on the No Agenda podcast. They have used this for several years successfully. ITM.

> I bought him a Chromebook for schoolwork, but also for other private things.

Sadly we do not live in a world where this is a reasonable expectation.

School is effectively work. There should be separate hardware for both. If you have more than one kid they shouldn’t share hardware.

Don’t use your work laptop for anything personal. Don’t set up corporate email on your phone. Don’t log in to your personal iCloud on your work laptop.

You bought your son school supplies. Back in my day my parents donated Kleenex boxes and other classroom supplies. This isn’t really any different. The school owns that device now.
> One should note that he actually has the speaking style of one.

Indeed, just one quote from his recent opus Until the End of Time..., "the uncertainty principle demonstrated that there are features of the world - like the position and the speed of a particle - that a classical physicist in the mold of Isaac Newton would adamantly claim can be specified with complete certainty but that a quantum physicist realizes are burdened by a quantum fuzziness", says it all.

I'm not claiming this is the CDC's fault.

> when simultaneously the president's communicated "plan" is 'it'll just disappear' or 'just drink bleach'

Yes, the CDC's plan differed from the President's plan. Does that fact have any bearing on whether we can criticize the CDC's communication and plan? Cannot both warrant criticism?
