No, social media is NOT 'connecting us more accurately to the real state of things'.

Most people are getting drip fed curated content to 'influence' them, which has a very different agenda to accuracy regarding real things.

Also most people are not selecting real things, they are selecting entertainment.

If you had just said connecting to real things, agreed that sometimes it is, plus a lot of false things, plus heaps of fantasy/entertainment. But when you said its connecting us more accurately to the real state of things, well thats just false.

Accuracy in echo chambers that create information bubbles as socmed systems do is simply impossible, then the fact these systems are used to influence not inform makes them produce highly distorted minds.
I can't speak for the Parent commenter, but I get the feeling you are taking what he said a little too literally. Those were simply examples of what could be said during the process. Their reply was not intended to be an exhaustive list of all the responses.
Because the demand isn't flexible enough to change parts, so they will pay it anyways.
> “There is a massive, unknown, and unknowable shadow inventory of parts sitting on shelves at EMS facilities right now, far in excess of near-term production demands...”

And I’m guessing nobody wants to re-sell (at somewhat regular prices) or there is no mechanism to return excess stock of goods to a distributor that can then mark the price up a little to make it worth their time? I don’t know how this works, so please excuse the kinds of questions I’m asking.
Now that's moving the goalposts from the notion that Americans should be worried that their own home will become inhospitable, and that it will happen to some other region. Remember, this document is about American teens.

And regardless, no, that shouldn't be cause for dread either. Those 200 million estimated refugees are spread out both geographically across the globe and across a century time-wise. There's 45 million immigrants living in the US currently. Even if half come to the US, it's hardly an apocalyptic levels of immigration.
I don't know any services, but I do remember years ago that someone was stealing Google's map data so they left a mistake in their map and sued the thieving company with proof in their mistake being in the thief's mapping system.

It might not have been Google, but hopefully someone can chime in and remind me. lol
I was investigating this lately, and as you say, they are "efforts", and while laudable, I wouldn't go so far as to call them solutions. There are open issues/caveats as a result of the async model.

I do think there is something great about being able to continue to leverage existing JDBC-related tooling, given that it already exists.
Other than multiple times doing things largely considered impossible as a tech entrepreneur?

Sorry to hear that. I think all parenting is just hoping you know best and doing best for the child. I have no rebuttal because maybe I have it all wrong.
Yes, and it's also an SRI so mixing with other medications, specifically SSRI's or SNRI's has significant negative risks of potentiation that could cause serotonin syndrome.

Ketamine however is pretty hard on the kidneys, and its LD50 is significantly closer to therapeutic levels than DXM. Some quick searching shows it to be about 20x the dose used for depression while DXM, near as I can tell checking out a few sources that didn't always agree, has an LD50 roughly 100x higher than therapeutic doses. That doesn't mean it can't do other bad things to you (it can) but it's got a much more forgiving margin of error on acute toxicity. Most literature on severe overdoses mentions polydrug usage.
You miss the point that identically the same land is now producing two revenue streams, one year-round. And, that ag yield is increased. Fortunately, they don't need your approval. It is being done now. Japanese are leading.
Neat site! Random suggestion: how about taking a text source and turning it into an expandable, nested bullet list?

So it would take the long text, bulletize the main points, and then you can tap to expand any of them to see the details, recursively.

Just a thought…
This isn't the first time Salesforce Cybersecurity has left us in the lurch while they perform damage control.

On 17 May 2019, Salesforce performed maintenance on their databases that clear permission sets for users. My team was able to piece together that the incident happened at about 0200 CDT, and Salesforce didn't take ANY noticeable action for at least 9 hours when they locked all customers out of the platform. Salesforce "fixed" the issue, which meant our Admins had to go in and reapply a bunch of profile settings...no big deal, right? Just a little bit of work for everyone to fix their own accounts. Salesforce acted like it wasn't a big deal.

Wrong.

If you were a Salesforce customer that built a tool using the Portal or Community tools Salesforce provides for external users, there was a 9 hour window when a customer could log in and instead of seeing the data you were sharing with them, they would see all data for all users. The permissions that indicated that a user should only be able to see their own data was gone.

The only reason we knew about this was because we were paying extra for advanced logging. We were able to see a few of our users logged in during this time and looked at customer records they should not have had access to.

Salesforce stood fast that exposing data through their Community and Portal tools this did not constitute a breach or even a violation of their SOC-2 Type II compliance. We were lucky that the only people that had access at the time were licensed partners. Nevertheless, our users lost their jobs and were stripped of their licenses.

Anyone that was using those tools at the time for any sort of direct customer interaction that shared order history, customer engagement, referral programs, etc. was not so lucky; doubly so if they weren't paying for advanced logging and/or didn't know what to look for. Salesforce was more concerned about covering up their mistakes than they were about telling their customers that there was a problem.

Seeing the Heroku notification page gives me PTSD. This looks all-too-familiar to me and I sympathize with those affected by this. I still feel like they were negligent back then, and I wish I knew who to tell to warn others.

I won't be letting my kids near that shit.
As you said, those are required components of shipping software. I don’t consider them grunt work, any more than I would consider being a janitor as a grunt.

Grunt implies a heirarchy and a job that anyone can do. It’s pejorative. There is work that I don’t enjoy doing but needs to be done well (cleaning a toilet). I appreciate those jobs even more than what I do!

My point is that you should try to shift to language of “work I don’t enjoy” rather than “work that is beneath such an exalted 10x programmer such as myself”. Because that’s how I interpreted your original comment.

> Efficiency is secondary. Cost is primary.

While the question I was responding to was explicitly about efficiency, you might be right about cost. However, ICE tractors that are already owned along with the capital required for their use and maintenance are potentially a lot more attractive to keep vs new electric tractors. Sunshine might be free but it’s not available in sufficient quantities everywhere with current technology, and all technologies will require ongoing maintenance. With China becoming an untrustworthy trade partner the cost of solar panels will likely rise. If they do I hope they can make affordable efuel so that we make progress either way.
You're annoyed to the point of overreaction I'd say. I assume julia's devs use symbols that are culturally set already. Not just random glyphs for no good reason.

I've seen this in math, I come the dev land around java peak, where it was a holy trait to write runComputationThatIsMaybeSafeOverArguments(...), because that's where they though information was. In math they lived in the opposite side of things.. names were few and concision was more important. Also structural thinking made names really unimportant, mostly redundancy and waste of time, the domain and properties were.

I may be wrong though.
How deep does the respect go? Is it a knowing respect that understands the real strengths & weaknesses of a person's professional persona intimately? Honestly I think it's probably kind of alienating & unideal that so many partners cant really communicate & share effectively what it is they face. We might get respect, but that doesnt mean the other person actually understands the game, or our moves.

There's a whole idea of "workwife," as in, the professional partner that can comprehend & share & commiserate & bond over the "other" 40 hours of our lives. Someome else to co-play the work game with. Because so so rarely are our partners positioned to be able to, no?

The post is about a lot more than respect. We can give each other respect for all kinds of things, all manner of reasons & successes. Respect can says more about the person giving respect than it can the person getting respect. This post is about a different kind of empathy, of understanding people as they want to be be seen, find ways to meet people on their courts & finding ways to be good witnesses to their moves/triumphs.
> I think people have a right to know the world’s ugly, harsh facts and crazy opinions.

Newspapers bring you that, once per day. And social media brings a lot more than that.
It's very likely that the UX used by the hospital workers is not browser based.
It shouldn't be like that. Most internships are three months and typically in the summer between academic years for undergraduate or graduate students. They are paid internships, but much less than a permanent position (enough to cover base rent and travel logistics.)

The stress should not be too high as most companies have policies that interns can not be assigned to essential work activities (and this might be the law in some US states.) It's typically 'educational' in some form for them as it lets them see how the sausage is made.
Considering the places whose accounts are being shut down, I'm not surprised. A private company isn't going to want to end up on the wrong end of sanctions due to whom they're enabling. Places like Consortium News and Mint Press are pretty far out there with the conspiracy theories already, but the Russian propaganda would be what killed their accounts.

All of these financial companies that don't have legal requirements otherwise use the same playbook: Be very trigger-happy, and have a boilerplate "go away" message that gives them maximum maneuverability and reveals no further information that would invite argument (the more their representatives talk, the greater the risk of legal liability).

When I got booted from N26, I kept calling customer service to inquire about it until finally one of the operators broke protocol and told me that the rules require her to hang up on me the moment I mention the closure of my account (and then hung up, of course).

It's nothing personal; they're just protecting their bottom line (which is why most financial institutions are bound by consumer protection laws).
Is the good/bad balance really worse? Or does the media just fixate on the bad stuff?
> Teens are aware that they are going to inherit a pretty terrible world, and are powerless to do anything about it.

I don't mean to come across as snarky, but there is a lot to unpack in this statement. First, you inherit something that your parents or guardians own, and the world is definitely not owned by them. Second, why feel powerless if they are actually going to inherit something? They can always fix it after they take control. Again, I am not being mean, but just showing how you can think of this from a different angle.

Now let's circle back to the issue of social media. Kids who are tuned in to social media are going to constantly hear exaggerated claims of gloom and doom, and that would numb their senses. This prevents them from focusing on the present and all the things that you build for yourself are in the present.

The point is -- no matter how you frame it, the information overload is taking its toll on everybody who is exposed, not just teens.
former Heroku employee, though long long long ago, with no specific knowledge about this incident, but...

We did so much work in open source it was just easier to assume everything was always publicly viewable, or that what you were doing now might be open sourced in the future along with the full commit history. Whether something was private or public was more a business decision around competitive risks and not a security-led one. To that end I'm far more concerned about a database and passwords getting popped.

But who knows, a lot can change in 10 years. Maybe private repos being exposed is also very bad.
Everyone I know in the business went from doing JIT parts acquisition to making sure they have a year worth of components, for everything. It's the toilet paper issue again, only this time it's industrial manufacturers.

The correct way to solve this would be to set up a futures market on the parts. This way people who really need certain quantities at certain dates can still access them, and hoarders can put a price on the stock they're sitting on.

Lockheed could probably still do it, but these days Boeing itself contracts out a lot of the manufacturing to companies like Spirit Aerosystems. The real capability Boeing has is in engineering and systems integration, and those capabilities are looking shakier than they used to.

One dark horse competitor to Boeing is Gulfstream. The G700 is a business jet, but it has a 53 ton takeoff weight, which is about as much as a 737-100. Gulfstream also delivers plenty of aircraft to the military and is part of General Dynamics. They pretty clearly have the capability to make largish jets.
> I don’t think the leaker was an oppo­nent of the opinion, because there would be no tactical value in doing so.

This is terrible reasoning. Of course there's tactical value. It would create an outrage before the opinion was official and could potentially turn the tide if justices saw a huge reaction from Americans. The Justices aren't stupid. They know if they release a very unpopular opinion on abortion, it could completely destroy the faith in the Supreme Court. So there's a huge amount of tactical value. For the author to dismiss this is horrible reasoning.
From what has been said of the latter. Argonaut showed up to Nintendo's booth (E3, CES etc. I forget which one specifically)

They pulled out a Nintendo Gameboy and proceeded to put an unlicensed prototype game cartridge in it, which booted successfully even without Nintendo's approval

Nintendo was so impressed with the engineering talent they agreed to work with them thereafter
I would also add Twitter.

We have different parenting styles, and that's OK. I hope your children turn out wonderfully.

I want for my child to have a bigger playground, so to speak. Reading books, playing with kids outside, bothering our neighbors constantly to pet and play with their dogs, making dandelion necklaces, etc. When she's on her phone she just zombies out, and it's like watching a device suck the soul from such a warm and extroverted person.

Things will change with time, but for now, I want her to appreciate and enjoy being a kid. The time for 8 hour screen days can wait.
This is an easy thing to test:

1. Kid seems happy, does stuff

2. Kid gets phone for birthday

3. Kid seems sad, and no longer does anything other than sit in his room scrolling through tiktok

It's an extraordinarily depressing situation and anyone who denies this obvious truth is DELUSIONALLY BLIND
I started using netmaker recently And it is running great on all of my devices so far.
Getting a short term lease is incredibly difficult and a very manual process involving credit checks, filling in random forms and faxing them, landlords contacting my employer and so forth.

Came here to say this... Social media is not the cause.. It's the light that illuminates(and sometimes exaggerates/highlights) the terrible ills of the current modern world problems we live in.
My previous comment, perhaps.

My original point, however, was to highlight the fact that "They treated me like a human being" was given as the example of a positive interaction.

Which is absolutely absurd. And I don't think I'm taking that too literally.
They KINDA do, but their support is so horrible and slow you have to book a hotel room for a few days or figure something out while you spend a few days working the details out
Salesforce’s monitoring, availability, incident handling, transparency, and accountability, are abysmal. We too we’re affected by the incident. I sincerely hope they lose some of their compliance certifications, because their behavior is unacceptable.
Agreed. OP check out https://www.car-part.com or a local junkyard or Porsche club near you for used/spare transmissions.
>Russia is Canada's neighbour. Russia has operatives here as well.

I am not very familiar with Russian operations in Canada, but my guess would be they are different from those in the post-Soviet countries. I did not give Donetsk as an example randomly. Russia would like take over post-Soviet countries again. Although they would like to avoid armed conflict if possible (for a good reason, as they apparently suck at it), so they influence politicians and journalists and instill anti-Western and sometimes pro-Russian propaganda. There are multiple politicians in Czech republic that have been serving Putin in this way for a long time.

> If my government doesn't start returning our rights and freedom

I first thought you were from Russia or China. On the grand scheme of things, Canada is a very free country. You will not find much more freedom elsewhere, and if so, then it's going to cost you freedom in another way.
Have you experienced a moment when most of your nation supports an unjust invasion, and many openly and proudly dream of genocide?
What is innovation really? Solving problems in a novel way for users?

You are definitely right regarding niching down!

However innovation is useless without adoption (at least early users) and the most popular app of 2022 is Wordle. So its all relative

I reckon the next innovation might not even be software related so you can probably niche down to verticals like climate - carbon capture or sustainable protein.
As I wrote elsewhere: that's not new, at all. That was there in the 80s/early 90s as well, with the added continuous stress of the Cold War. What motivates you to reply like this, without any evidence? OTOH, you completely ignore section 2 of the paper.
Burden of proof is properly on whoever insist it does. Thus far it has been just a marketing slogan.

> Next to zero artists or singers who are familiar with say, the laws of thermodynamics.

You don't have to dig very deep to find counterexamples. Dr. Brian May was the lead guitarist and a founding member of Queen. He holds a PhD in astrophysics. Tom Scholz was a founding member of Boston and has a master's degree in mechanical engineering from MIT. Dr. Brian Holland is the lead vocalist for The Offspring and has a PhD in molecular biology.

As a more personal example, I spent my high school science classes competing on each test for top marks against Wesley MacInnes, who today is an actor and country music singer. (He was the school bully in the last Power Rangers movie. It was an amusing role. Wesley was an extraordinarily kind person in real high school.)
Because SalesForce owns Heroku, and SalesForce has notoriously poor incident handling.
If I like an Airbnb property listed by a business, I often look them up to see if they offer a better deal on their website. Airbnb is a fantastic distribution for such listings. I recently discovered a startup (Limehome) through Airbnb - it offers consistent home-like stays in multiple cities in Europe. If I were traveling for a short vacation or for business, I would probably prefer something like this over an independent host.

If Airbnb intends to have zero control over the end user experience, I think they will eventually lose out to a player which offers consistent hotel-like convenience with home-like comfort/experience.
Mercury Bank has nice, friendly APIs. I believe they only do business bank accounts, though.

But I think I remember seeing that some of Capital One's bank account offerings have some customer facing apis.

>Perhaps it's social media that makes that they are either too aware of it or simply mention it more often.

Here's a question for me to understand where you're coming from and you to examine your assumptions. How does "too aware" get defined? Who defines it? I am an 80s kid(though grew up in India) and seen some issues myself, but can't claim
I am worse off for knowing what I did.
And to be clear, I didn't have internet till the start of the millenium and relied on books, radio and newspapers and I still was more about the state of the world i was to inherit than my parents.
The story is about worker who rates search results, for $10 an hour, at a company that contracts to Goggle. A few paragraphs in we find he is a union organiser . Point is made Goggle promised to pay “extended” workers $15 an hour.

So does anyone who touches anything related to Google get $15 a hour?
I wonder if Google pays a contractor enough to cover $15 a hour but company pockets that an pays $10 if either has violated any laws?
