Absolutely! I think there's a group of people who get sucked into the narrative of X being the world's largest problem, and then get really exasperated when people are working on anything other than X. They see inattention to X as almost an affront.

Substitute for X "climate change", "AI risk", "Nuclear risk", "Energy depletion". And interestingly the X's are mutually exclusive. So climate change maximalists and AI risk maximalists can be mutually exasperated at each other.

BTW, this is not to say one of the narratives is not true. But they can't all be the unique #1 problem.
My point is, see it as a donation, not an investment. You probably won't get richer by funding carbon capture, but you also won't get richer from having your name on a building on the Stanford campus.
I mean the implication here doesn't seem all that subtle.

I think he's kind of pointing in the direction of Clarence Thomas's wife, who is a batshit crazy right wing activist that was involved in the events of January 6th.

No idea if he's right but it's well within the range of plausibility.

Classic. Guess they should've warned me to visit during spring break first instead of winter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They also had a prior justification for running this experiment based on known effects of Tylenol on the brain.
I tried to solve this problem for last two projects I worked on. Ended up using Rails that rendered Vue components with data already passed in the generated html.

It works really well: adding new components or iterating over existing ones is super easy, nothing is brittle, UI/UX fidelity is great and very easy to implement, minimal to no API calls (depending on what components I have on the page). Rails views are smaller and much easier to refactor too.

Good, but often people reduce costs by using lower quality supplies so that isn't necessarily foolproof either.
For auth and identity stuff, try this plugin: https://github.com/greenpau/caddy-security
It's a really neat piece of software - you're right that it does have the ability to configure your system, routing tables in particular.

The Tailscale agent (thing that runs on your machine) changes the system routing table (at least on Linux) and uses policy-based routing (marks packets destined for the "Tailnet" specially) to build the overlay network. Since everything is done at L3 in the OSI model, iOS and Android clients (in the form of an app) are also available without needing root (jailbreaking).

There are some things it can't do owing to the whole thing operating at L3, but it's a really awesome implementation nevertheless. And just to add, they aren't the first to build a product like this, but they do it incredibly well and the time to value for most users is extremely short, made even better by the fact that the expectation is that the time to value will be long(ish) and painful.

How about instead of fining them, we just create a free tax filing website at the IRS to spite them? $141MM is just the cost of doing business, and that's ridiculous.
tabulature is really just used for starting out on guitar in my experience and it works because the alternative is SO approachable and SO instrument specific.

lead sheets are solving a whole different problem and almost ALWAYS have the melody in traditional notation in addition to the chords. some lead sheets assume you already know the melody and can transpose to whatever key is relevant.... but still a lead sheet is there to give you hooks in order to aide improvisation.

jazz musicians have not "split off", they have added some chord notation above the traditional stuff.

And such a clerk could be particularly welcomed by an ideologically aligned firm, but less so if they have been disbarred as a result, which seems to be a real possibility. It could be a great boost to a media or political career, but not so much for a legal career.
Lazy loading could also be made as a user option in a web browser, too. (An implementation could also have an option to only use lazy loading if the dimensions of the picture are known.)

"Make the image bigger when you click on it" also can be done without JavaScripts, in a few ways: One way is to just use a ordinary hyperlink directly to the image (and optionally you can override it if JavaScripts are enabled), another way is to just to use features that the web browser might have (if the user has them, they can be used; if not, then not), and a third way might be to use CSS (although I generally want to avoid CSS requirements, too).

Fade-in effects can also be done using CSS, but may be undesirable (I am one who would prefer to reduce animation as much as possible, and other users too).

For JS based search functions with JSON, you could do something that I mentioned before which is <link rel="data"> and the user can make their own search functions if wanted (maybe a browser or extension might have a JSON searching function with many options (that the web page might not necessarily implement; I do often find wanted to make queries that the web page does not implement)), but if JavaScripts are enabled then it will use that one.

Even if the data is rendered into HTML in server-side scripts or generated static pages, you can still have <link rel="data"> or <a rel="data"> to allow to access the raw data, too, since it will sometimes be useful.

But in any case, you should almost always ensure that it works properly with JavaScripts disabled, and usually should work with CSS disabled too. Use <noscript> blocks if needed, and include API documentation or download links or whatever, not simply "This requires JavaScripts to work". For some types of web apps (e.g. interactive games), it might require JavaScripts but even then you can include links to documentation, and if it is open-source also source codes, even if scripts are disabled.

In general, in my opinion, most web pages should need neither JavaScripts nor CSS (and often does not need pictures either).

That's an interesting point!

It's not really, it's a misunderstanding of both the US defamation legal landscape and the typical behaviour of large corporations in such circumstances. A news org getting a story wrong is not defamation and statistically nobody sues over stuff like that because it's nigh-impossible to win.
You might find luck using companies targeting algo trading. A lot of companies allow use of the account more like a checking account (eg interactive brokers). They have an API and also allow different logins to have different authorizations.
For one thing, Daily (intentionally) doesn't have a lot of junior engineers, so I don't really know firsthand how they feel about the system. It may well be that this appeals more to mid-career people with families and other life to worry about.

But consider that Daily is fully remote, hires globally paying SV-level salaries, doesn't do whiteboard torture interviews, and has an interesting product space where you can make a visible impact. I'd imagine this combination would be appealing to early-career people, especially if they don't live in a FAANG hiring market or aren't set on acquiring that kind of résumé.
I don't post on reddit much, but I've gotten more off-channel messages asking for details about my quip in a post about how my friend realized her period was 2 weeks late, and how she got her period to come back. Then she went to Planned Parenthood for a free blood test. She was told she'd had a miscarriage, and don't do that again.

The essential oil of the plant that Nirvana sang about is highly toxic. The tea is relatively safe. My friend used a 3-prong approach to inducing her period, not just the tea.

This tweet makes the case that the leaker was probably Justice Bryer's clerk: https://twitter.com/willchamberlain/status/15216859689396305...
I lean to this - It was leaked by an opponent, but the timing was in consultation with a political strategist as to timing. Primaries are starting up, and that's why it's now and not earlier or later. This is the perfect time to fire up the base and get them watching primaries and contributing dollars. The leaker may have had idealistic reasons, but the timing feels like it's much more cynical.
Still not nearly enough
Rich is relative - I've written two books for a publisher and a co-authorship of a self-published book. In both cases, it was nowhere enough to recover the time spent on it. However, seeing the sales figures, seeing your work cited in publications and the reactions you get from people when they say "Oh you wrote that?" - that is another feeling by itself.

You have to remember that a lot of these books are written as groundwork for future plans - far easier to establish credentials saying "yeah I've written that book, you may have heard of it".

They don't have to, but someone will be the insurance provider and the government will pay for it. The government by playing insurance has better options to cut a project if things are getting to expensive, but this requires some willingness to cut project scope which they might not be willing for (and a contract that allows such a thing).
> In contrast, the IRS Free File products were free for 70 percent of taxpayers.

Maybe, maybe not. We should do the experiment, though.
It would be interesting to see a study on whether Tylenol reduces empathy in people who are sick/in chronic pain. My guess would be that Tylenol increases empathy in these situations, despite the general effect it has in reducing empathy. It's hard to empathize with others when you're in pain yourself.

Brings about a good question - if you have a headache, and you take Tylenol, do you become more or less empathetic? If the answer is you become more empathetic, that indicates that instead of Tylenol being the bad guy, we should try to reduce the prevalence of headaches (or pains that cause people to take Tylenol) in general.

Thanks for sharing! You're 100% right that cloud providers aren't exactly incentivized to make it as easy as possible for you to use those credits. If credits were super easy to use and could be applied automatically where you need them, then I think a lot of people would just sign up for free trials with the intention of using up the credits and then cancel before they start accruing any charges. Cloud providers don't want to encourage that kind of behavior, so I think they're hesitant to make it too easy to use credits.

The same applies to cloud costs more broadly, across providers. With Reserved Instances, for example, AWS dramatically cuts the cost of running an instance if you commit to using it for a one- or three-year term. But signing up for a Reserved Instance requires a lock-in commitment, so many people don't bother because they're worried about being stuck with an unnecessary cost if their usage changes. My company, Usage.AI, created a solution: We cut EC2 costs by up to 57% using Reserved Instances, but without any lock-in. If an RI is no longer needed, it's just sold on the open market. No hassle, no risk.

Why not $50? Why not $75?

The quality of the "standard" minimum wage studies is pretty bad, and it should worry people that there has effectively been no upper bound found on the effects of minimum wage. If someone claims they found an infinite money glitch hack of the economy, it probably deserves some scrutiny (Dube did propose an upper limit of 60% the median wage, but it was very informal).

> obviously it will cause some severe disruption but one lesson of the last couple of years is we can adapt to labor changes.

If the adaptation is more young workers move back in with their parents and more women leave the workforce, then yeah I guess? At this point you are being pretty tacit that the tradeoff between higher wages is lower labor force participation.

Learn Go: The Complete Course
The waste is they hire architects to build elaborate buildings with plenty of affectations that make universities and donors feel important, but that often put functionality far behind form. While the inside of lab space is quite functional and "luxury" in lab space goes is actually lab equipment, sq. ft, and having a window that looks out on something pleasant. Much less impressive looking buildings could be built which facilitated far more science.

Universities have degenerated somewhat into being professional sports teams and professional fundraisers.

"Attracting top talent" is nonsense, universities are already full of people so desperate for positions they work nearly for free.

If I had a billion dollars I'd build a university out the best equipment, the cheapest buildings, and a minimum wage for anyone doing academic work of $100k and see how far that got me.

Yes. They each maybe have one, maybe two big editors, and there are only a few major conservative news agencies, then they all can definitely be in a group chat! I doubt that list of contacts would be over two dozen people and I definitely have discord chats bigger than that.

News media if you think about it is a really small world. If you’re a conservative reporter on national beats how many companies can you work for, actually? The national review, Fox News, Wall Street journal, OAN? Maybe Cato institute? That’s only a small handful of possible employers.

supreme court justices are beholden to Noone. What explains this bias on the part of the Supreme Court, if it truly exist?

The people who nominate and confirm them may very well be beholden to any number of interests. Lower federal judges are also appointed for life. It would be logical that those who nominate and confirm would select judges with a record that aligns with whatever issues they (and the ones they are beholden to) find important.
Take a look at the current carbon capture tech and the potential carbon capture rates from existing technologies. We are orders of magnitudes off from what is needed.

Hello. I would like to suggest bankrupting the company. It's not "fair" or "just" but it would be in the common good. Plenty of precedent for that from governments that give a fuck about the citizens and not the corporations.

I realize this isn't actually going to happen, but I'd vote for the measure that involved the state seizing Intuit and raiding their software for the benefit of the IRS.

(FWIW, I'm not going to respond to comments on this debating the merits of this non-plan. I get it's an unpopular opinion, especially on a tech-funding backed news board, so I don't need people to tell me why this is a "bad" choice and how it will slippery slope into whatever socialist hellscape personally keeps people up at night. Just wanted it out there that there are absolutely people willing to tear the whole fucking thing down because it's so broken).

Bank accounts like that often have outgoing direct debits blocked to prevent fraud, as far as I know.

For those of us who embrace agile methodologies... there is always benefit to cost plus contracts.

Clients never have all the requirements up-front, and even if they did requirements tend to shift as we plan, design, build, test...

It's also nice to not have to go through a lengthy contract negotiation for change orders.

Look, I hear the "lack of incentive" argument, but I think it's less about trying to over-bill clients, and more about trying to adapt to ever-changing needs of clients. Not sure "plague" is the right term.
I've written couple of books for a publisher (Practical Docker with Python - first & second editions - published by Apress) as well a co-authored a self published book - The CDK Book.

Apress has similar royalty tiers (10 to 20% of revenue, based on books sold) and I did get decent amount of copy edit support.

With the co-authorship, despite being four of us, some things slipped through the cracks. That said, with self publishing we were able to get it corrected and shipped - we maintain/ed bug reports, feedback in GitHub issues, and even the book build process is done using GitHub actions.

As I said elsewhere, the monetary aspect usually isn't the goal, you're far likely to spend more money in working on the book than recover it but it does give a nice boost if you wish to go the consulting route in terms of establishing authority/credibility.

How many ways are there to do this?
If it’s a mass firing, do you think disbarring would be likely for any or all of them?

I think it’s incredibly likely if they determine exactly who it is and that person would deserve to see their career ended and at that point you would just fire that one clerk; but I don’t think it is likely at all if they were fired en masse because the Court couldn’t determine the exact culprit. It’s not great, but we’re still talking about a group of people who know how the Court operates because they worked there recently, and I think it would be difficult to make a case for disbarment for the whole lot if the Chief Justice actually did exercise this option.

>it is in fact the case that getting new stuff done is the only way to benefit the company

I spent a few weeks just refactoring 6k lines of code into +- 300 lines on my current job.

If my company was run by you, the best course for me woould have been leaving that mess around. Which would have led to either the same refactoring under far more stressful time constraints, or even more shit code by applying a band-aid into the old code (this code makes us some serious money, and an unexpected third party change would have broken it in such a way that would be seriously hard to fix with the old code).

Also, there are loads of features that were far easier to implement after the refactoring.

Maintenance job isn't coasting around. It has a multiplicative effect on anyone who works in the system. It needs to be done, if you want the org to not slow down to a snail pace - and when someone leaves a mess, it isn't even neccessarily easier than pumping new features since you have to figure out all observable behaviours from messy stuff.

If there's no incentive to getting your hands dirty, no one will want to get their hands dirty. People will fight to not do neccessary jobs if the only way of advancing their career is avoiding those jobs.
Because the IRS tied their own hands when they agreed not to compete. You'd need to find political will to change that and "how you file your taxes" isn't a sexy issue that gets voters to give a fuck.
