I used to slave away hanging dry wall (lol child labor laws), and then worked as a waiter. Now I work in big tech, and let me tell you the amount of people slacking off during work is incredible. Not that they necessarily should be working themselves to death, but with respect to the article, there's a lot of low hanging fruit.

Wall St. is a sort of special type of pathology due to the sheer amount of high frequency, arbitrary deadlines that must be met. What's worse is that the work is incredibly repetitive and boring. A buddy at GS showed me what they did and it's incredibly dry. Literally Excel docs, pivot tables, slide decks. It's not even creative. Ironically they recruit top tier students (well, as much these days, but still) from Harvard, Stanford, etc. You can tell they're just putting in the work to eventually go work at a Hedge Fund or whatever.

There's certainly diminishing returns, but I'd say the average engineer at Big Tech has not reached that point. That being said, it's hard to care when said companies are making 5-12X your salary in profit, and projects keep getting shuttered and requirements are changing and there's a bunch of delays due to bureaucracy, lol.

In some ways I actually think it's better if everyone is lazy as it quickly reveals what's important. The problem with everyone acting busy is that it can be hard to tease out what's meaningful.
Mostly skills I want to pick up to add to my arsenal! I can see Kubernetes being useful at home because I was thinking of making a homeserver, but I'd say it's mostly curiosity as an engineer.
> Also if you forbid animated gifs, you should go one step further and forbid animated SVGs!

Nobody is suggesting to forbid animated images. The suggestion is that they respect the user's autoplay preferences, so you can make them click to play, like a video.
> They said the same thing to the UK

They didn't because the UK didn't even have the same problem due to the UK already having been a EU member for a long time, as such it was already tooled for EU market demands.

While the Ukrainian economy was very much tooled towards former Soviet markets like Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, those made up 60% of Ukraine's exports in 2013 [0].

Obviously a lot of that fell apart after 2014, instead came IMF bailouts aka loans [1], which have been keeping the Ukrainian economy alive since then, now substituted with additional credits for the weapons some countries are supplying Ukraine.

> Do you understand what trade harmonization means ? You can't be part of multiple trade harmonization zones.

So you do understand the actual issue? Then why act like it ain't an issue and it's just "Russian propaganda like in the UK!"?

> $5.5 million USD seems like nothing. Why isn't the total profits made this way disclosed?

Because whether profits were made this way and how much, and even whether they did it, is a matter that would be in dispute, and the settlement probably doesn't admit to any.

Civil settlements aren't like criminal plea bargains where an admission of guilt and statement of the offense is an essential component.
I notice you claim to speak for the British people (in more than one post). Brits believe this or don't believe that.

It's OK to just put your own view forward. You don't have to claim to speak for the rest of us.
Most car accidents are 100% operator error, it'd be really far fetched to try to blame those on the manufacturer.

Autopilot not so much, the point stands.
Yes, there's a few distributed DDoS protection services. For example Fastly, Akamai, GcoreLabs, and a few smaller ones. They're mostly less evil too as a bonus.
Median actual rent and median rent on a new rental aren't the same, especially with rent controlled units. Lots of people are paying lots less than any person looking for a new rental will ever see.
I knew the writing was on the wall for Heroku a few years back. I had asked a group of Salesforce sales reps about Heroku Connect (two-way sync between postgres and salesforce - amazing!), and they had no absolutely no idea what it was. They checked back with their team and weren't able to get any information. We basically couldn't buy it.
With what intention? Honest question, I don't see a strategic advantage in posting this on a Friday. More of a disadvantage, actually, with less visibility.
I would focus on the software engineering process. A CS degree will teach you the fundamentals but you need to understand how to put together a software application to get a job. I would go as far as picking a popular software and go thru the process of creating a clone. Don't get stuck on figuring out the best programming language. There is none. Just pick a language and go. I'll even pick it for you. Python! Oh, you say you need a software? Ok, copy Hacker news. You're welcome. What you copy doesn't matter. Just understand the process of putting it together really well. Now start....
Even relatively short term use of antibiotics can result in digestive issues lasting multiple years. Auto-brewery syndrome for example is linked to antibiotics and can seemingly persist until treatment by antifungals.
It's a trade-off. In exchange for a hair-tear-outable user experience, you get the ability to (relatively) easily load and transform that data, which gives you lots of automation and integration options.

It's not unlike LISP's predilection for sexpr-based DSLs, I suppose.

Any new place should figure out if Chicago really thought it was worth it. It’ll be the same story.
Based on experience, I would say that the most critical part of that chain is the recording technique and quality, followed closely by the audio reproduction.
To get the most amazing, lifelike experience you are seeking, however, (and in my opinion) you would most likely need to be using high quality headphones and a similarly high quality recording made using the binaural mic technique. This technique mimics how sound waves travel around your head and into your ears.
A good binaural recording will shine only when you listen with headphones, don't even bother trying with speakers. If you've never heard it before, it will probably shock you.
Not crazy at all. Just smart thinking combined with a good understanding of how the world actually works. You want to automate things as much as possible so that people have time to observe, think, and improve things. For example, a manager who is always 100% busy, working 80 hour weeks, is a bad manager. One step away from a heart attack or a major team/system failure.
I bet a big factor is that AWS and GCP charge obscene markups for bandwidth. Much harder to get away with.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We have pretty strong data that suggests that antibiotic exposure is associated with negative health outcomes. For example, patients who had undergone antibiotic exposure within a 6 month period preceding their admission to the ICU had a 20% increase in mortality rate.

Another study [1] I just found showed that older women who had been exposed to antibiotics for => 2 months had increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio 1.49). Interestingly, if they had also been exposed to antibiotics in middle-adulthood, their mortality rate was even higher; which may suggest that antibiotic exposure permanently impairs the microbiome. Paper's conclusion: "Long-term use of antibiotics in late adulthood may be a risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The unfavorable effect of antibiotic exposure for subsequent risks of deaths due to chronic diseases needs to be considered."

In Germany Mercedes assumes all liability for these situations though (60kmh, highways, good visibility), so I don't see why Tesla couldn't do the same if they were just as confident in their system, but apparently they don't trust it enough for that. Instead they claim their system can do all these things on it's own, while the driver doesn't really benefit from it as they are still liable for everything it does and not even allowed to use their phone while driving, which is something you are allowed to do with the this new system from Mercedes.
Why is the SEC content to let them get off without a material deterrent? Are they intending to subtly indirectly endorse NV's tactics and behaviour with a pat on the back?
The word "potentially" was in the original, along with an example using a small sustenance-existence low-technology hunter population.

"Sustainable" inherently means utilisation within the rate of replacement.

See, e.g., Herman Daly, Ecological Economics and Sustainable Development: Selected Essays of Herman Daly.

https://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=03FD75FCC8A6F6B40625790...

In particular, Daly notes that when extraction rates exceed replacement, adding additional capital does not increase harvest. This situation has been realised in multiple fishing and marine-hunting activities, with catastrophic population collapse of fish, whale, seal, otter, and dophin populations in multiple instances.

Which is to say that your comment is in agreement with the one it responded to, though it highlights where nonsustainable practices emerge, and their consequences: nonsustainability.

I'm not finding any readily-available estimates of pre-columbian arctic native populations, though the present Inuit population is about 150,000. I'd suspect that the earlier populations would be lower.

> With what intention? Honest question, I don't see a strategic advantage in posting this on a Friday. More of a disadvantage, actually, with less visibility.

The intention presumably is to be able to say they communicated this while (intentionally) limiting the amount of awareness that's spread about this.
CEO’s routinely run businesses into the ground. So the question is if the hiring process for CEO’s is actually working as intended.
> He’s planning to summit Everest again in 2013, this time from the Chinese/Tibetan side. He would be 80.

In case anyone is wondering if he did that:

From Wikipedia:

On May 23, 2013 Miura again became the oldest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest at the age of 80. This achievement is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.[3] He was unable to complete the descent after reaching the top, and was airlifted from Advanced Base Camp at 6500 meters, not walking down to the Base Camp at 5364 metre (17,600 feet).
> though autoplay is often abused by (American, for some reason) news sites to dump their stupid ads onto me

I discovered this feature from an ad on CNN.

> In other browsers you may need an addon to accomplish this.

That's the problem though. I make an extension that stops autoplaying videos. But the extension doesn't work on <img> mp4, because <img> has none of the API of a <video> element. There's no autoplay attribute, there's no JavaScript play and pause, no video controls, no DOM events. The <img> mp4 is effectively walled off.
The point is less visibility/criticism. Since this is confirming pretty bad news (the attackers had access to the environment variables.) The concept of a Friday night news dump is a fairly well-worn, but basically true, trope.
They were using a legacy GitHub integration. Maybe it's inherently unsafe and they need to rewrite things using the new API.
Almost all pro/ultra high performers end up with broken bodies. Constantly pushing your body to the limit is not healthy. Being fit is not the same as being healthy. I highly recommend reading “Body by Science”. It’s a bit of an eye opener.
Literally 164% more energy - not exponentially.
There's a question about what a design flaw means though. What about a car that was built without a backup camera because it was older than when they were commonly included? Or built when they were commonly available, but not before they were mandated? Is that a design flaw?

What about something that's more accidental that causes fewer deaths than the lack of a backup camera, but also costs more to fix than retrofitting a backup camera?
i use neovim too and i prefer it over VSCode. the only major drawback is debugging and multi-file find/replace, so i do occasionally reach for VSCode.

as the author mentioned, LunarVim is a great project worth checking out. i'm using it now and recommend it.
Let me just congratulate the author on describing a newly written library without using the word ‘modern’. Truly, you are the 1%.
Doesn't hurt to ask for written approval from your manager to write about it! I'd love to read it as well. Getting to use optimization algorithms at your job is super rare (unless you're in specific industries).
Some times I go through periods where I do that repeatedly. Distracted and unproductive, to the point where it physically hurts, until there's no possible alternative but to work hard or fail.

They absolutely do have responsibility. There's no reason we should allow investors limited liability if they are going to be assholes about it.

Corporations should only exist because they are net beneficial to the public!

I do agree that enough companies are unethical that it is reasonable to expect it.
Never giving Google or Microsoft my biometrics, ever.
I love binaural audio, I wish it was more common!

But, I thought the primary purpose of binaural was to capture and reproduce audio that's coming from different directions. If you're recording a single person sitting in one spot, why can't a speaker which also sits in one spot be equally realistic?
I worked in construction/manufacturing as labor, then in a CNC engineering capacity, then as middle management, then at a vendor for manufacturing as a software engineer.

All were progressively less work, but my god consumer tech isn’t even close. The people working the hardest seem to be the most keen on useless bureaucracy and bridges to nowhere somehow.

I’ll never go near it again. I also don’t think I’ll ever not be adjacent to manufacturing & construction again. “Tech” people are insane.
Yep. It also usually means no time to find better long term ways to do things. Everything is sacrificed on the alter of “efficiency” (basically cost cutting).
I first thought it might have something to do with the range of LIDAR sensors and breaking distance, but that doesn't seem to be the case as LIDAR sensors can detect objects at around 200m away and a car at 60kmh needs only around 50m to break comfortably.
While I don't know if this is the reason 60kmh is the limit for this system to be allowed to drive on German highways a vehicle needs to be able to drive 60kmh, so this might be the reason, but I am not an expert so who knows.
> eating a high fiber diet like most humans did for most of evolutionary time

Can supplementation be an effective substitute for fiber derived from real foods? If so, are there any particular kinds of supplements you'd recommend?
Perhaps it's just a series of dopamine hits but there is some strange feeling of being satiated from consuming new information while browsing. It's only when I switch off I realize that there is no substance to it or even worse, I have information embedded in my head that I would rather not know but even knowing this, when I'm back online, it's almost like I'm being hypnotized and in a trance, in a much weaker way, but one where it's become addictively comforting.

It's become a real struggle for me.
What title was this originally submitted under?
Sorry to hear about it...just as an idea since you mentioned that you're an introvert, I'd look at heavily weighting aspects of introversion:

1. Tight boundaries around relational and physical circumstances taking up your time and space: Environments without so many meetings, but probably also low-dopamine work environments in general, i.e. build your ideal space starting from the typical closet-with-locking-door configuration

2. "My ideas, my goals, my ways of doing things." Environments where you are the sole keeper of the job's tech domain knowledge. Total permission to go not-invented-here. For example, say there's an IT team but you are the only software engineer and there's a solid boundary there.

3. Time not of the essence: Introversion is at its best when time is not an overriding concern. It could still be a very important job, but the work product value is measured in qualitative improvements that create and maintain a sustainable business environment over time, for example.

I've seen these conditions matched in a lot of different domains, but tech within tech is a difficult match. The most common one that comes to mind would be academia, for example there was a popular bay area performing arts department within an academic institution, which had a very complex and rare web application stack and a tech person looking to retire.

Good luck, I hope this can be somewhat helpful.
I've self administered FMT's from a friend for over a year now. There is an underground network of people performing this procedure, generally digestive but also psychiatric conditions. I'm not recommending it, however.

In my case, I had debilitating health issues after a round of food poisoning that nearly took my life. In my specific case, the FMT's have helped a lot. Certainly, it is not without risks; however, one can minimize their risks by testing donor's stool, and asking for a full mental and physical evaluation to be performed.

They can be used that way, but hard news sources typically use them in pretty unambiguous circumstances.

They have one gay character and a non binary character. The one character has (had) a trill symbiont. The trill host has always been shown as not being heterosexual in TNG in the 80s and Deep Space Nine in the 80s.

Again even back in the 60s with the original Trek “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”, they showed two races fighting because one was black on the left side and white on the right side and the other race was just to opposite - to show just how dumb racism was.

Work smarter not harder.

And part of working smarter is understanding that you can't work too much or at every opportunity or you're efficiency will be shot. It's why people who work 60+ hour weeks seemingly get the same or less done than people who work 35-hour weeks. Your brain processes information and is "brainstorming" while you're sleeping, and I imagine it does this while you're on vacation or taking a walk as well.

Trying to "maximize" productivity is perfectionism, and as the author points out, perfectionism has diminishing returns. You should definitely try to look for ways to be more productive. But don't stress about it, because, well, stress hurts productivity.
The whole point why people use gifs is because it’s a way around forum limitations. They only allow images..
I have a laptop with the Crusoe chip in it. It's obviously very old, but I boot it up once in a while to make sure it still works.

It was a bit of a dream of mine to try to get past the emulation layer and write some native code, but I was never able to find a way to get around it. My theory was that it would be blazing fast without emulation. Everything looked like an x86 device no matter what I traced through or fuzzed.

I also had their handheld Zaurus. I kinda wish I never sold it, because it was as close to a smart device as you could get back then. It totally blew the Palm Pilot away.
Degrees are more important today than they were in the past, preferably a brand name one. Part of the reason they have been getting more expensive.
