That's the really nasty thing about retail: the angrier and more abusive you are, you'll likely get your way. And much of the time, "your way" is being made whole with the situation.

Ive worked retail for quite some time but broke out into IT. But the abuse is expected in retail. Managers are paid minimally more to deal with it - and that's to prevent customer complaints to corporate.

Pretty much everyone, at some time, has flailed out at restaurant or retail staff. It's terrible, but part of the expectations.

Should a 17 year old who is still in high school while living with his parents be paid $25/hour for working at McDonald's? There is no reason he needs a "living wage" since his parents are already providing what he needs.

The PDF specification, hosted by Adobe, free for you to download… (pay attention, this is a big PDF) https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/standards/p... Adobe specifically negotiated to make this freely available.

From the document:

This document you are now reading is a copy of the ISO 32000-1 standard. By agreement with ISO, Adobe Systems is allowed to offer this version of the ISO standard as a free PDF file on it's web site. It is not an official ISO document but the technical content is identical including the section numbering and page numbering.

I include that, so you can Google up a copy when the URL changes again. (Copy is disabled, I had to retype it. The misuse of "it's" is present in the original.)

As afar as I know, they have always posted the PDF format for free. ISO’s business model is different, they pay the bills by selling the documents.

For generating PDF, assuming you aren’t some sort of sociopath that wants to embed JavaScript or some custom plugin, then you can just drop back to 1.3 or so and deal with a simpler spec. Use the parts you need, ignore the rest.

Some time around 2000 I wrote a PDF generator to do my type setting, so that was 1.2 or 1.3. Very straightforward format.

The question server repair question served 2 purposes:

1) can you identify a minimum bootable state / repeatable failure case? Can you think of obscure corner cases like the metal tray that all the components sit on being the problem?

2) How quickly do you give up and ask for help from humans / other sources.

Both were core to the role. Changes in hardware and firmware often resulted in issues needing to be escalated back to manufacturers / internal platform team. The volume/scale of work also meant that being able to concisely convey what you had observed / tested and hypothesised helped the team identify trends / larger issues that were occuring. Datacenter automation and tooling was very much in its infancy.

Around that time, the org was growing rapidly (doubling in size yearly) so most people ended up doing interviews. Not everyone is cut out to interview so sorry if your experience was sucky.

Side note: I once spent most of an interview slot talking to a candidate about snowboarding. Turned out to be one of the best hires we made (thankfully the other interviewers actually asked some role related questions).
That question is rather cryptic. Your profile LinkedIn url also might be broken? (For added mystery maybe)

The post-game interview with Scott Foster (one of the stand-ins referenced in the article) is pretty funny:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB60iaSUIu0

Best Quote: "I'm an accountant by day. So a few hours ago I was sitting at a computer typing on a 10 key. Now I'm standing before you guys after playing 14 minutes of NHL hockey".

I'll never forget the shock of sitting down to catch sports highlights only to see this interview on TV. I went to high school with Scott Foster so it was a crazy shock.
So almost 1% serious side effects from the vaccine? "According to the study, eight out of 1000 vaccinated people are struggling with serious side effects. "Serious side effects" are therefore symptoms that last for weeks or months and require medical treatment. Specifically, these include, among other things, heart muscle inflammation, excessive reactions of the immune system or neurological disorders, i.e. impairments of the nervous system."

The "Always Free Tier" stuff will get shut down when the expanded free tier expires unless you have a credit card plugged in. You can turn it back on... They don't always take cards they should. So, navigating their always free tier is somewhat complicated.

Also, there is a LOT of resource congestion for the arm systems. Be prepared to try every day to fire up new instances for a couple of weeks until you can find free capacity.

What's fascinating is that the warning calls of other bird species seem to be understood by Parrots, too.

I have a Rainbow Lorikeet and a Rose-Breasted Cockatoo that moved in along with the wife after we married - The Lorikeet is extremely animated, and the Cockatoo (a rescue) extremely timid.

The Lorikeet has learnt to mimic the warning calls of local Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Noisy Minors, Common Mynahs.

Occasionally, in the dead of night, the Lorikeet would make little satisfaction chirps while he's preening himself. He'd also recall all the sounds he's learnt to date, sometimes including warning calls of other birds - which sends the poor Cockatoo into a frenzy each time.
Any time you want to rubber duck because there's a hard problem you can't figure out and talking it through with someone else is useful.

Another thought, haven’t verified: If CSS loading is deferred, content might be displayed unstyled on default white background for a brief moment. You could set the page background color as part of the HTML page in a `<style>` block.
Definitely not just one hand (ex: HFT), but perhaps you can count them using 3-4 hands. The nature of most compiler work is that you're pushing the boundary of what's been done, which in academia is almost exclusively done by the top 1% researchers. And HFT is obviously winner take all, which further favors top performers.
> This models the leaker as unsophisticated/naive. It’s not clear to me that’s warranted given they were likely part of the Supreme Court staff.

One thing I’ve learned the past few years is that we’ve all greatly overestimated the people in governments. I’m not sure if it’s because of movies or what that influenced that. The reality is that people are, for the most part, as dumb as anyone else. It’s just that the people are generally more private (often because it’s legally compelled) so we don’t see all the mistakes as obviously as we do in other fields.

America is also going through a wave of activism on all fronts, so being naive or unsophisticated isn’t really relevant to that.

> They definitely don't ENCOURAGE illegal activity. You can argue they can maybe facilitate it.

This is what I like to call the "sawn-off shotgun" idea. Sure, there might be a legit use for a sawn-off shotgun, but they are never used for that[0].

I would agree that speculation is the most common use for Bitcoin, although I'd more characterise that as rube farming. If you attempted to launch a security with the characteristics of Bitcoin, you'd be in jail. When the music stops, there simply won't be any chairs.

As for disregarding a technology because I don't agree with the use cases, it's perfectly legit to avoid pyramid schemes and greater fool farms for the same reason. The often-cited-but-always-missing good use cases for crypto currencies are such a tiny proportion of what it actually gets used for they become a novelty.

I would send a few dollars your way. But this could actually go either way. If the WSB crowd convinces everyone that "Musk" getting arrested and released after a while and to the underdog image of Tesla, the stocks could go up.
I think this is a fair and nuanced comment. However, you seem to be stating (correct me if I'm wrong) that there are really two categories of situations here - situation A, where someone is an Asshole with a capital A, and situation B where you have a neurodiverse or immigrant candidate that is misinterpreting the situation and should not be dismissed based on their behavior.

I can easily agree that both situations are possible and probably happen in the real world enough to be worth talking about. However, based on my (admittedly anecdotal, but extensive) experience situation A is probably something like 95% of the time and situation B is probably something like 5% of the time. How do we tell when B is happening and can you really fault people for assuming A is happening when that is the vast, vast, majority of occurrences? Is there an easy and objective way to tell the difference? In a world where wrong hires are expensive, can you fault people for assuming A? Is there a better way to ensure that B candidates are adequately evaluated?
If the voters support this then why don't we have a $25 / hour minimum wage?

One difference you might see is that the stories all have increased rewards for good behavior. Good behavior isn't something that's rewarded outside of childhood, it's just expected to be your default as an adult.

The comments above talk about punishment for bad behavior, which happens all day every day. Nobody cares about giving the candidate a 'fair shake' because if you know and trust someone enough to listen to their opinion then "hard pass" is all you need to hear. You've decided the taxi driver was savvy enough to make this call long before this specific incident.

> Induced demand doesn't say what "should" or "shouldn't" happen. It doesn't have morality, it's a pattern. It says that building more housing in an area with expensive housing won't bring housing prices down.

Here is the definition of induced demand from wikipedia:

> Induced demand – related to latent demand and generated demand[1] – is the phenomenon that supply increases result in price declines and increased consumption.

Notice that it says "price declines" right there.
The second part of the story is I got hired, but not for the job I was going for. Instead, they asked me to manage the whole team.

Note that this was in 2014 and outside of the US, so our experiences may vary.

As a hiring manager at AWS I conducted similarly many interviews, and can speak to a few things. Firstly, there was plenty of latitude for me to include additional factors in the process, as long as the core elements were present (screening + loop + bar raiser). Recruiters weren't always wonderful at candidate communication, especially when going beyond that baseline. Other HMs certainly included variations and additional steps, so this would not have been without precedent. Finally, this particular team were largely former CTOs and tech CEOs/founders, so there was a relatively high degree of eccentricity and wilfulness present; several of my loop interviews were with these particularly unruly ICs†.

So I could not so confidently rule it a mistake.

† Rather memorably, after a solid meeting of minds over the topic of establishing robust SRE practices within public-sector institutions, one such interviewer ran out of the meeting room to fetch me a copy of his favourite book on the topic. This is the only time I received a book for free from Amazon.

I worked at a place that did perf reviews every 6 months. 360 degree style, where you got manager feedback and a bunch of peers that you nominated. None of the feedback I received was ever actionable or useful. None of the feedback I gave was ever really useful, either! People rated you on a bunch of silly, vaguely described sliding scales from 1 to 5, then answered a couple of equally vague questions. It probably distracted people for 3 or 4 days, every 6 months.

All I ever got was stuff like "Joe writes excellent design documents! His code is always well tested. I always want Joe on my projects!" I'd write stuff like "Amy is extremely effective at solving problems with <blah> API's, and is a great communicator. She should do a brown bag session about her experience with <blah>." The reviews were all fluff. Some people wouldn't put in any effort at all, and write one liners. Seriously, one of my reviews was "Just keep on being Joe!" Thanks, but why bother?

The review process at most companies is a big waste of time and money.

Is there anything like birdnetpi, but with an ultrasound transducer for bats? I know I have them zooming around, but rarely see them, and would love to know more what their activity is like here.

Oh, checking out the AudioMoth linked elsewhere, looks like that works for recording birds and bats. Down the rabbit hole I go.

If you are just talking about hydrogen piping, the velocity of hydrogen flow is faster than natural gas. It becomes very similar in terms of flow rate for a given diameter of pipe.
Don't matrix organisations put you in the stressful position of having two or more bosses, who may disagree about what they are looking to see from you, especially when it comes to evaluating your performance and promotion/fire recommendations?

It sounds pretty good to be able to move around in an organisation, but knowing who determines your fate in the short term, and who doesn't, is really important too.
Are they from actual meta or from recruiters who may not have the memo / are still trying?
So in Canada, you go to the doctor. You give them your health card. Then you leave. That's all.

I'll echo the parent commenter's anecdotes. I'm 43, so I've undoubtedly been exposed to many rude service workers in my days. Honestly, though, I can't remember a single incident. Perhaps that is a clue to my ability to respond kindly, or decently at the very least, and then move on. I'm not trying to "kill them with kindness", I just deliberately avoid confrontation and try to treat people like I'd want to be treated. Golden rule and all that.

Everyone has bad days, and some people are just plain assholes; that doesn't mean you have to treat them poorly, whether provoked, deserving, or otherwise.
So enzyme is pretty cool but IMO the documentation is terrible and the API is absolutely insane.
No no no, you see it's merely a winner take all where there are far fewer buyers willing to buy from the lower earning producers.

1,000 milligrams is not "pushing the daily limit". That is a normal adult dose and by a wide margin within what is considered safe for even chronic daily use.

Like many people, when I have a headache or a sore muscle I take the dose recommended on the Tylenol bottle: 1,000 milligrams. It is not even remotely dangerous.

Furthermore, if the original commenter is using acetaminophen to reduce rare psychological pain the margin of safety is even larger because she's using it only rarely.

I love Airbnb and have booked dozens of stays through them.

I listened in on the earnings call yesterday and heard lots of good things. But as a prospective investor my main concern is how they plan to deal with increasing circumvention of the platform.

There's professional short-term property management services in every market now, and they don't want to give Airbnb a cut.

I am literally typing this comment from a cabin that I discovered on Airbnb but booked direct to save money. The listing contained text inviting you to visit their website to book direct and avoid fees.

I've also re-booked properties I've stayed at in the past by contacting hosts directly, and received offers from hosts via Airbnb message to book outside of Airbnb for a discount.

So a major problem for Airbnb is that they don't really own the relationship between hosts and guests.

From your comment, I get the sense that you believe climate change isn't a top priority for humans.

I disagree, I hold the opinion that we humans are on course, and hold responsibility, for the sixth (current) mass extinction event. And that the cause of this has been human activity and our consumption habits [0].

Mass extinction, sounds sober, sounds like it might have an effect on humanity and human suffering on a global level, no? It may not be a concern if you are of the belief that humans _will not_ be among those included in this extinction event (and are wholly species-centered). I don't believe we will dodge the bullet of our own creation - it seems clear to me too few individuals are willing to change their habits to do. Let alone take the time to educate themselves on the topic.

Here are a collection of quotes in support of my argument, accompanied with citation:

"The overarching driver of species extinction is human population growth and increasing per capita consumption." [0]

"In the past 500 years, humans have triggered a wave of extinction, threat, and local population declines that may be comparable in both rate and magnitude with the five previous mass extinctions of Earth’s history." [1]

"Moreover, we have unleashed a mass extinction event, the sixth in roughly 540 million years, wherein many current life forms could be annihilated or at least committed to extinction by the end of this century." [2]

"Our review lays out arguments clearly demonstrating that there is a biodiversity crisis, quite probably the start of the Sixth Mass Extinction." [3]

Does this sound to you like one of the biggest problems facing humanity? If not, according to your rigorous and sober analysis, what is?

Lastly, I'd like to know, where are you pulling "Fewer people die from natural disasters today than ever in human history" from?

- Swag - Nginx reverse proxy for my other services. Similar to other reverse proxies people have mentioned, but it plays nice with other linuxserver containers I run so it's what I've stuck with. Has decent letsencrypt integration.

- Authelia - Integrated with Swag to handle single sign-on for most of my services

- Mylar3 - Helps keep track of comic series and, if you choose, can be used to search and download them as well

- Komga - For organizing/reading comics. I use Klutter as a companion app for reading comics from my Android devices

- readarr - Newer member of the *arr family. Still a bit clunky compared to its siblings, but it's a relatively useful way to organize ebooks and audiobooks. It doesn't do well with mixed book types, though, so I run one instance for ebooks and one for audiobooks.

- Ombi - For managing media requests
