I mean things from why instead of mandate VDIs crap companies who do WFH do no give managed desktops instead? Very basic examples as such that do not demand even significant revolution in operation terms, only a bit of logistic which is needed anyway.

I understand that in a liquid world no one want to pour money on something uncertain BUT on the workers side, those who are willing to WFH can simply state that and organize themselves to offer a room with basic stuff, receiving just compensation from offering room, furniture, connection etc, the company only provide needed gears managing them from remote, the same they provide to the office minus furniture, cleaning service, ... plus a smaller compensation to the worker. Again very basic examples. Things those who really want WFH would do anyway and on company side does not represent a specific capex nor opex nor a specific risk.

Hybrid working do not work anyway:

- people in the office have to work as they were from home, witch made them unhappy;

- alternating WFH and in office means double gears or moving stuff back&forth and both are not really sustainable;

- workers do not earn nothing except of stress, companies do not save a penny since they still maintain the office, less used than normal.

After have imposed to many WFH a significant slice of them now want such mode and no coercive means will make them change advise, so trying to state "all ended, now back to the office" will not work anyway, at least not without a significant price for the company and for some workers. Try to keep the feet in two different shoes does not work either, see above, so? IMVHO it's time to really discuss who can go full remote, with casual meetings few times a year as needed, and who can not or are not willing to. Workers and companies have anyway to face the challenge so why keep it up in emergency crappy mode?
You mean the world that uses PRC vaccines with stats that comports with CCP numbers. Or the world's supply chains that runs on CCP numbers being within ball park. The world uses oblique indicators to verify CCP numbers which are useful and predictive, which is what matters at end of day.
THE business plan for every new company created in the last two decades is exploitative by design, and people are fed up with it. The problem is that the relationships between the person consuming, the person producing, and the business is organized wrong. The plan is for the business to insert itself between people and extract a tax on their interaction instead of collecting a fee for providing a service. Technology has accelerated this trend by reducing the cost of this automated relationship management.

This is a gross inversion of normal relationships between people. I hope that Substack's model becomes more popular and people choose to eject exploitative mediators and force them to be third party service providers where they belong.

I felt literally forced to leave Google on mobile by AMP. DDG's results are often worse and I end up having to !g, and it's always a punch in the stomach having to see two screens worth of poorly marked ad-results, SEO spam and AMP - all of those getting worse every month. And even then, their indexing of sites like Stack Overflow, Reddit, and other major players with good content is still miles ahead than DDG when I'm trying to find the solution to a problem.
OTOH it's also possible to have conversations of a whole other nature online. The pace is different, and the urgency is different. You can have hours long discussions about interesting stuff with someone you've never even met. For instance I talk to a professor in my field about stuff, and it's not that easy to find someone to just do that. Similarly I've had a lot of slow but insightful conversations with teammates about various technical issues, or personal issues.
Jeff Bezos’s “regret minimization framework” is pretty good: https://youtu.be/jwG_qR6XmDQ
The only writer I follow on substack, Scott Alexander S. (Previously of SlateStarCodex fame, now AstralCodexTen) went into all the details - what he was offered, and why it was a good offer - it wasn’t a bribe like most celebrity deals are - it was more like a book advance.

He most definitely didn’t pretend to “just go there”, and his post on the subject mentioned a few others with similar deals by name.

Do you have a problem when a publisher pays an advance to (say) Stephen King in order to get him to publish through them?
Citation needed.

You should also clarify what is "ceasefire violation against the separatist-controlled area", because that doesn't sound like OSCE SMM terminology.

If you read SMM reports, they classify location of violations, and type. So if violation is in non government controlled territory, it can be anything from training, outgoing explosions, impact explosions, ...

So you can have a ceasefire violation in NGCA that is a shell impact there, or fire from there, or just training. Most violations are undeteremined.

Or... subsidize the installation of new heat pumps via tax credits or whatever mechanism makes sense in the UK?

The whole "big bad out-of-touch government wants to take away your Thing That's Perfectly Fine and force you to do Wasteful Extravagant Spending instead" headline is pretty obvious outrage-bait (which makes sense given the piece's provenance), but the article itself is also pretty light on supporting details... imagine that.
Not all of us seem to connect with colleagues on a personal level, and prefer to instead optimize for what’s necessary to get our work done. These are not friends; they are workers who share a common compensation provider.
I don't have a lot of front end experience, but the way I've done it in the past was with

<a download href="example.com/my/download/route"></a>

and that always worked well for me. No idea if that would be helpful at all, I'm operating at a very surface level knowledge here.
This. Between Irving Gould sucking Commodore blood like a vampire, and his hatchet-man Mehdi Ali's endless stream of bad decisions, Commodore was already doomed years before it finally went bankrupt in '94.
This is great. I believe Firefox does this already, and you can do it on Safari via extension/plugin (Amplosion, Overamped).
On the other side of that: I am forced to go to work so that I don’t die basically. I don’t use it as a social occasion and in general all of the tedious people who either can’t make friends or have an enjoyable life on their own time, get in the way.

Workplaces that try to use Work and Pay as a reason to have a social outing aren’t workplaces. I’ll fake it to be paid but if remote means it goes away… that is a very very good thing.
We have had chickens for over 10 years. They are mean little dinosaurs that peck the weakest hen to death on a regular basis. So you have to keep replenishing your stock. We enjoy the fresh eggs. My wife and kids enjoy them as pets, so they get upset when one is killed. We have lost a few to local dogs that get loose sometimes and come hunting them. I am not really a bird person so I don't get attached to them. We have never had rats. We have had hawks try to break into their hen house. We have had foxes try to get into the hen house. They create a lot of waste that needs cleaned so get a good hen house that is easy to clean.
I'm surprised security and confidentiality hasn't been more of an issue point. Especially for Apple.
> Interesting, but you know what might even be better? If it could be done directly from emacs.

First, Emacs should have sensible defaults like Ctrl-c for copying and Ctrl-v for pasting.

Second, there should be a menu item to choose among particular setups. A new user shouldn't have to go through the less-than-fun process of installing a bunch of stuff to get a common sense setup.
None of these actually address the statements above.

You're trying to derail this, by providing links that aren't in direct contradiction to the statements.

My thoughts exactly.

Does Postgres still make sense for append only tables or maybe elastic or other kind of database would be more suitable?
Western countries don’t do these things directly (with some notable exceptions like Abu Ghraib). But they will arm, fund, and support proxies knowing they will commit atrocities. Is Saudi Arabia’s brutal US-funded war in Yemen any different morally from what Russia is doing in Ukraine? Is SA’s government any less despotic than Russia’s?

For me personally, this has nothing to do with whataboutism. I just want my country’s actions to reflect its stated principles. Partly because I don’t want my taxes supporting oppression and genocide, and partly because I want us to be seen as credible by the rest of the world when we condemn abuses by Russia, China, or any other country.
Everything you need to know about AMP is in one very specific section of the spec:

"AMP HTML documents MUST...contain a <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> tag inside their head tag" [1]

Meaning, "Your content must load and run some Google controlled javascript, that does who-knows-what to your content and end users".

In the past, that's included injecting a big header that pushes your content down, hijacking swipe events on your page, an [X] button that looked like it would delete the AMP banner header, but instead navigated away from your page back to google, etc.

In this case, it was 0 ad spend but large b2b negotiations, so yea theres still quite some acquisition cost, but thats not really part of those calculations.

Any major company that owns data centers, they have large contracts with peering for networking, which is pay-per-bandwidth not pay-per-byte.
"leaving money on the table" is not the same as "becoming a viable job". For many, enough money is enough, and the culture of the workplace, who you work with, what product you're building and more, is more important than the amount of money you earn. At a certain point, you earn enough money monthly to be happy and increasing that some percent but having to work a lot harder (or worse: working on things you don't really care about) is a shitty tradeoff.
"Scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one.

Which actually plays out often, birthday-paradox style.
I haven't seen it. What pitch would you give me as a possibly-interested viewer?
I fear it's inherent to our current interpretation of democracy. Individuals have very few incentives to look past their own lifetimes (and those incentives are almost entirely summed up as "their children"), which tends to downplay even projects that are only multiple decades. If it doesn't improve my life in 5-10 years why would I care one way or the other?

And if someone tries to propose something longer term, it'll get shot down by someone who says "how about not and we spend the money on partying instead" or the equivalent.

More and more I feel that we have to "sneak" long-term projects past people without them noticing.
Why is it much harder? I disagree. In office I usually only ever talk to people I directly work with. And, as an engineer, not very often. Every time I'd go in an office I'd just be sitting in front of a computer. If they had lunches then we'd all chat but it was all just bullshitting. I don't see how remote makes it harder to collaborate or 'culture share'. Culture sharing seems something woke people like to do a bit too much these days anyways. Rather stay home and keep my opinions to myself.
To be clear, I wasn't suggesting that I support removing private ownership. I was merely suggesting to parent to be honest about what they are really upset at. It isn't NIMBYs or town councils with their, admittedly, sometimes backwards zoning laws. Its private parties who own land and are acting in their own best interests.
Any decision can be life-altering. In fact the most mundane decisions can be life altering. You can go to a farmers market this weekend and meet your life partner. Or not. You'd never think about it.

Don't sweat these things. Follow what seems to be calling to you.
If Commodore hadn't gone under, the next generation Amigas would have been using HP-RISC, though, with an A1200-on-a-chip for running older software. (That SoC was supposed to include a 68k core plus the AGA chipset cores, kind of like the Apollo Vampire).
Apache CouchDB 3.2.2 has been released and is available for download

Every country should have zoning like Japan.

Of course, this would absolutely dilute and depreciate houses as an investment over the long-term, but people would just funnel money into stocks instead. Why would corporations be against this?

US zoning is a complete shitshow that’s ruining our country and fostering inconvenient suburban sprawl.
The way I've done it with MySQL since 5.7 is to use multiple writers of which only one is actively used by clients. Take one out, upgrade it, put it back into replication but not serving requests until caught up. Switch the clients to writing to the upgraded one then upgrade the others.
So I know next to nothing about open source licenses like this. I have just never needed to deal with that world.

I do find this side of things very interesting so I took at look at the thread.

But 2 things stick out to me in particular:

1. The person who opened this ticket... their tone is. Strong. Especially for someone that claims to not have a stake but is threatening to contact those that do? What is the point?

2. I took a look at the history for this person and they open a lot of these tickets. So again... I am curious what their point is? What is the end goal of just spending all this time looking at repos and getting into arguments over licensing.
I don't know, then I assume by your account the demography who are often the target of the insult "bitch" are also "PageRanked bitches"?
He cut his salary by $70k for 4 years ($280k 'lost'), and now he's earning $100k which is $10k more than the $90k he was on. It'll take 28 years to make up the lost salary.

I mean, the math is very much simplified. People get raises, and change roles, and there's tax to deal with, and jobs have benefits, etc. The core point is that you'll probably earn a lot more in a job. If you can find one where you're paid to maintain a library you like that's probably better for you financially than trying to get sponsors.
That is certainly possible. We just dismissed it as being tired, hungry and seeing shit. I didn’t even remember it until being reminded of my own impossible military ruck experience.
Companies started offering insurance because tax rates above a certain amount where in the 90+ percent range.

To pay people more, companies had to get highly creative.
Lots of "perks". Company cars, hotels, etc. Insurance was one such method.
Our entire Health Insurance Industry came from companies and people avoiding absurd taxes.
Now things are absurd in other ways.
> RE developers are on the hook for those in new developments.

I'd suggest educating yourself on how infrastructure maintenance is actually paid for.

Here's a video to start: https://youtu.be/7IsMeKl-Sv0
What's fun with open source is that even if you're paid or unpaid, you owe people absolutely nothing and you can close whatever issue you want, for whatever reason you want. Tired of dealing with toxic issues? Turn off issues and let people fix their own shit.

No one is forcing you to accept issues, toxic or not, same goes for patches. In open source, you create your own project and you run it however you want.
I went this route too but ended up getting an RSI in the tip of my finger. I went back to a mouse.
Ironically I think those are the same companies that aren't willing to put in the work required to build strong collaborative cultures _onsite_.
Not everything is a buy and hold trade.

The tulip bubble ended because the bubonic plague killed all the speculators and didn't even affect the spot market of tulips, so we don't even know what would happen. Worst bubble example.

There were several great, rational, trades with beanie babies as well that has nothing to do with the latecomers that hoarded them and acted surprised and delusional when they were holding the bag.

Out of all the famous bubbles, I think equities bubbles are more useful examples of irrecoverable irrational exuberance than any commodities/product bubble.
Unless you paid cash, your bank or credit card company will remember the amount for you. I don't know if most restaurants receipts are going to itemize the bill. But even if most do you can just say you went to one that didn't.
Your service charges do not cover the full cost of maintenance, that's the problem.
NOOOOOOO… you HAVE to be a cog in the machine and not enjoy your own life because… because…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol
Or...and bear with me here...I just don't run Chrome. I don't run Firefox, but a derivative. On rare occasion an extension I use has been removed from the store over "silly" reasons (this has happened once, maybe twice in over half a decade) I've been able to re-install it from the author's site.

> By delivering this functionality natively, Brave offers a more reliable and efficient solution to the problem of AMP.

Just because it avoids a separate process doesn't mean it is more reliable or efficient. Further, you offer a subset of the functionality of the URL-cleaning extension I do use, so it's moot.

I don't care if your browser ever becomes a superior product for me. I can't stand the community, who are easily the most aggressive and zealot-y bunch of any open source project I can think of. The comments section of any HN article about Brave becomes a shit-show as Brave users with the emotional maturity of teenagers dogpiling on shouting about how Brandon was the victim of a conspiracy by 'The SJWs', Firefox is "spyware", we're all stupid sheeple for not using Brave, etc.

And then at least one person from Brave shows up and starts condescendingly responding to every comment that isn't supportive of Brave.

There's the history of crypto-bro-y nonsense. The donation-scamming where creators had to "opt out" of Brave pretending to collect donations "for them." And so on.

I also don't want to support a company run by a person who has spent vast amounts of his money supporting some of the most bigoted politicians in our nation's modern history and to causes working to strip people of human rights. I don't want to support him, and I don't want to support people for whom his political activities are not an issue.
Roll a dice (odd=yes, even=no)

Then if you don't like the outcome, roll it again.
>how resistant people are to the idea that housing is expensive because there aren't enough homes for people to live in.

I imagine there are enough homes in both America and Canada (they are two of the largest countries after all). But it's all about location. Very few can even afford to move out to the middle of nowhere just to own land. And not many people that can are willing to turn their potentially short commute to work into a 90+ minute trek everyday.

Even with an increase in work from home, there's the whole entertainment aspect of living in the city that makes it a hard sell. When I mean middle of nowhere, I mean a small "town" whose businesses amount to a liquor store, some off brand shopping market, a burger joint, and a 20 year outdated public library. Anything else you need is in the suburbs 30 miles out, and Downtown will be another 30-40 after that.

You will quickly bore of any ventures in town and seek a drive to the city where there's actual events going on. If you're a recluse you can make it work, but I can understand millenial aged people not jiving with that style
It may "look super cool" but it's still fraud...
I don't know why you're being voted down, internal/research names are often way weirder and decided on ad-hoc by the researchers themselves and then a good PM comes in when product-ionizing and part of this is deciding on a catchy name for public use.
We still have this in germany and I still love it. Really great for checking sports results or reading a short text about some newstopic. Edit: Onlineversion of ARD Text ( https://www.ard-text.de/ )
You claimed the press wasn’t allowed to report on military coffins returning home:

> During the 2nd gulf war against Iraq, when the death toll began to rise, the US government forbade the reporting of military personnel coffins returning from the war zone

This is demonstrably false:

https://la.indymedia.org/news/2008/01/212729.php

You then provided an article that said the US had reversed its policy of “not allowing photographs” of military coffins.

Which is a very different thing from not reporting on them.

The rule against photographs only applied military bases, which already have very strict rules about photography.

Your initial claim was that there reporters were forbidden to report on bodies returning home. You made this claim to draw a parallel with Russian censorship.

The Russians arent merely making access to military bases conditional on not taking photographs - they’re engaging in political censorship.

Again, it’s very, very, very common to restrict photography on military bases, even by members of the press.
> You say that, but the fact you didn't bid $25k+ initially tells us otherwise, no?

That doesn’t follow at all. You are going to bid the minimum amount you think can win the auction, not your max price you are willing to pay.

If you want people to bid the max amount they are willing to pay, you would want a Vickrey auction, where everyone presents a sealed bid, and winner is the top bid… but they pay the price of the second highest bid. That way you can bid your actual max price without worrying about bidding against yourself.

If you never saw one then it does not exist. Good point.
hi, we're trying to build a validated software environment for an ELN tool. I would be interested in learning more about your experience with this software review if you could spare a few minutes -- jason@uncountable.com
My experience matches yours and I've always thought it was due to trust. Leadership doesn't trust their team and have no idea if they're being productive or not. So they use "at desk not talking with head down" as a proxy.
Are you willing to talk a bit about how Deno Deploy works internally? I think you have an internal build of Deno that can run multiple isolates (unlike the CLI, which basically runs one). How do you limit the the blast radius in case of a vuln in Deno?

Kenton Varda did a pretty great writeup on CF worker security [0]. Would love to see Deno Deploy do something similar.
