What region are you located in (approximately)? I have some intuitive idea that compensation differs according to location, but I haven't done any in-depth study into it.

I was a contractor from 2013-2018, though at that point I was more a generalist than I am now. I don't know what USAF paid my company for me but my take-home maxed at $29 an hour, so $98 would have been more than sufficient. With my paltry raise this year compared to inflation I'll be back to my old pay in real terms before you know it.
You are a fringe case and Facebook(or any big corporation) does not care about you. Yes, what happened was not extremely unusual, and yes your recovery methods should have worked, but for whatever reasons, you're an fringe case. It didn't work, but it's simply not worth their while to improve the system for fringe cases. The profit isn't there.

I sympathize, I have lost Amazon accounts under similar circumstances. I got so angry I stopped doing business with them for a year. But I found them useful enough I opened a new account even though I despise the company. I just don't purchase any digital assets from them anymore.
At my first job I found it exceptionally odd that the CEO (who was charged with properly running the company, obvi) would phrase his quarterly reports to the board as if he was just an outside auditor, eg. "you're going to have a problem here" "you're won't have revenue to cover expenses" "your company is not running well"

As if to deny any responsibility for how the company was being run.
I skimmed that code at the start of the pandemic and it was pretty tragic, eg how accurate could deaths be when there were no nursing homes in their models?
Don't think it's a pain point, but better performance without feeling a difference (ie not using bubble sort for sorting but using quicksort) is just.. always nice?
> None of that is part of Kubernetes

Well, load balancing is part of Kubernetes (except that it does not provide a sane implementation), and tbh having to debug strange failures caused by seemingly-innocent Service configuration is my least-favorite part of Kubernetes.

I agree with you on other points.

Nobody is arguing that there aren't cases where drugs have negative effects. What's argued it whether banning or allowing them has more negative effects.
I'd prefer to see the primary content hosted on www.mytown.gov/announcements or similar. Then FB, Twitter, etc used to share/link that content.
True, but...

I need to retain some optimism, or I get too depressed to keep on. In this case, my optimism is that solar/wind and batteries will drop enough in price that fossil fuels become economically unfeasible.

It seems possible! I just hope it isn't too little, too late.

Usually, yes. It's because "reporters" will copy-paste the press release and put it in a "story" about it that's just a parroting of the release.

Here's the followup.

If we have a cure for cancer. We have some workable options for anti-dementia. I don't believe in mrna technology but we probably have effective anti-viral treatments very soon. We also might have anti-aging drugs like metformin and others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX9P1xuIJGg

What's about to happen to the world population? Life expectancy is probably going to increase dramatically. Countries like China, Russia, Balkans, Japan who have serious population decline problems MUST go down these paths. Keep people alive as much as possible. Zerocovid is about minimizing population decline.

Then also what happens to retirement? You get a country like India where 60% of people don't work. Can the 40% of the population really work to keep the 60% of people sitting at home?

Retirement is a pyramid scheme. More people have to pay into it then receive. If people are about to live to 150 years old. Is retirement still 65?

There's a podcast interview with the author, Cedric Chin, here:

Covers the study of expertise and a bunch of different topics (operators vs investors, etc). It doesn't cover hiring specifically.
Agree with most of your comment, but I think "meth mouth" is pretty much debunked. It's the lifestyle of a meth addict that rots your teeth not the meth itself, nothing in your link claims it rots your teeth "no matter how much you brush them".
The problem with that line of reasoning is that addiction inhibits a person's abitlity to reason about these issues. I'm sympathetic to the freedom of choice argument, but drugs are an exception. If you've ever had to deal with an addict, you know exactly what I mean. Drugs rewire your priorities in a big way.

We can treat addiction as a medical issue, but the sad truth is that there really are no effective treatments that can be deployed on a mass scale. The relapse rate of even the best programs is pitifully high. The best treatment is public policy which does not encourage drug use in the first place, or at least, tries to minimize its use.
Great to see that this extension doesn't require any permissions. Good job!

> I’ve heard of times in the past when friends of mine had to travel to Chicago, which is 3 hours away, for their haircuts because their regular stylist closes down for the summer when students leave.

This sounds more like a person is doing something unnecessary / eccentric. The majority hair stylists are definitely there year round lol.

As I said, it's not a comparison directly to San Francisco in terms of all amenities - obviously a city such as SF with a massive Asian population will likely have additional options for food.

As you said, if that's all you value than sure; massive city is your best bet. You'll give up other amenities for the food selection (such as space).

I was pointing out that you can get 95+% of your wants and 100% of your needs met in a place that costs 1/4 as much with plenty of opportunity as well.

I think most students don't realize how many different grocers and what not there are either. For instance, I knew people who would travel large distances to a trader joes... why? Because the brand name / status is what they were looking for. If you weren't looking for that, you can get almost anything you wanted.

A team I managed worked in Champaign IL (why I knew about it) and all the adults I spoke with said they could make any dish they wanted (they were: American, Iranian, Vietnamese and Chinese). The Vietnamese guy in particular would bring in homemade food every day with pretty exotic produce.

Drug addiction is a health issue. I have a close family member who was a fairly typical junkie now he is given a nice opiate substitute by state health system and he's a productive member of society.

Most of the harm associated with drug addiction comes from societal demonizing of the addicted.
Does FOIA compliance implies also proper archival? if they got banned or suspended from FB, could they still be FOIA compliant?
"loss" was inelegant wording. I meant "less profit." Note the text in parens.
> BTW, Israel has nothing—absolutely nothing—to do with this. Not sure where you got that crazy idea, but it's time to move on from it.

I mentioned Israel because our support of them during various Arab-Israeli conflicts in the 1970s was what led to price hikes, lines at gas stations, etc. This is in direct contradiction to the typical talking point that is currently being trotted out by those wishing to deflect blame on the administration for current price issues, asserting that it's all about "supply and demand."

Which is clearly false - like I mentioned, oil prices are absolutely influenced by international politics, and in fact, it'd be hard to find a product less influenced by politics than crude oil.
Fair question/point. Yes, I do think so.

The intuitive model associated with some variable/word as a concept relates to other structures/models/systems that it interfaces with. Just because the operator that accesses these models with rather vague keys (words) has no clear picture of what exactly is being computed on the surface, doesn't mean that the totality of the process is not computation. It just means that the emergent properties are not mapped into the semantic space which the operator (our attention mechanisms) operates on. From my understanding, the totality I just referred to is a graph-space, it doesn't escape mathematics. Then again, I can't know or claim to do so.

I worked in civil engineering up until 6 month ago and every civil engineering company I know is desperate to hire people that know ML/simulation/modeling etc. Civil Engineering is seen as a deeply unsexy field compared to other tech industries and they're having a hard time recruiting.

Neurotoxicity is a bad criterio imo. Alcohol and nicotine are neurotoxic, and technically so is caffeine.

The better criterion is the typical harm to the user. It's lower in MDMA because it's very difficult to use too much, seems to have a low potential for addiction, and is very rarely lethal. Generally usage patterns for MDMA users are much less harmful than illegal cocaine or meth users.

> In other words, should a summer job for a teenager pay a livable wage?

Yes. Many teenagers of working age are head of household and shouldn’t have their wages undercut by the dependent children of others.

> I don't see why working multiple jobs, each of which takes a part of the day, should be considered bad

Because it makes life unnecessarily stressful. Transportation costs, typically borne by the worker, increase dramatically. It’s more efficient to work a single job, if possible.

Netscape disbanded as a company in 2003. Why is TomTom still here?

I like the questions at the end of a company since a large market I work in (insurance / life insurance) is dwindling as well. What does that do with companies? How do they communicate? What happens when the inevitable shrinking sets in and your brain drain is faster than the way you shrink? Should you ever actively terminate a company and tranfer IP / assets?

Forget a whole datacenter, even just one rack is an unimaginable amount of computing power, these days!
Sounds like we need to get a shop to break the NDA just so other shops and end users can do repairs on the computers they have purchased outright. How else does Louis get board views for other computers? I have a feeling those are in the gray area as well. I'm sure this idea will go over like a lead balloon but for a company that is supposed to be pro right to repair, signing an NDA to get a board view, or if you're a customer telling you to pound sand just doesn't have a great look.
This is conflating prices consumers see with broader financial access to capital. We may trivially see that when consumers can access cheap capital too, prices for consumer goods rise (housing loans, auto loans, college loans, credit cards, BNPL).

Well, they don't intersect "at equilibrium", they are the same, with the only possible addition of some noise with average 0 due to accounting delays. In microeconomics you can cut your data and ignore parts of them, so they can become different, but the thread up there is taking about markets, not single entities.

The argument does not change if you trade supply into demand. In fact, demand and supply are not good quantities to put on it at all, because both are defined for a set price, so if you add more money and keep them unchanged, the equilibrium price doesn't change. The entire inflation event happens because they change. Both sides of the disagreement up there are logical consequences of looking at half of that issue and trying to get a full picture from it.
MDMA seems more harmful to me with semi-frequent use. The comedowns are brutal and repeated use seems to make it worse. Either are fine taken occasionally but opioids and meth (vyanese) can be taken daily with fairly small negative effects while I doubt you can do MDMA even once weekly for a year without being much worse off in the end.
Oh, good one! (Also, what sites uses !important, ugh...) I think I have a workaround for that, will take a look after work.
That information doesn’t matter?

If you need a certain headcount to provide your service, you need that headcount whether in office or at home.

If office space is not required (or not provided) then it is a cost savings for the company.
This is all true enough. The benefit of k8s is that if you need all that complexity, or even most of it, then k8s gives it to you in a fairly standard way. Then everything you build on top of it has a well-documented platform you can hire people to help maintain rather than having to train people for six months on a home-grown solution before they're productive.
Almost every single one of those things can be applied to both the internet and the traditional finance system. The biggest money launderers are banks. Bitcoin uses less electricity than the global finance sector (let it be known I do think it is wasteful, Proof of Stake is better). More scams still happen through banking and web 2. Crypto is an extremely small market for money laundering compared to other methods. While not pump and dump scams, the financial gatekeeping done by traditional finance to only give access to high yielding investment opportunities to accredited investors is just another way of keeping the rich rich.

As far as I can tell, crypto is no more cancerous than existing systems. It's just that all you see out of crypto as an outsider is all the bad stuff because anything creating real value is too heads down building to make a fuss or too complex for the average joe to comprehend yet.

>All commodity prices are ultimately labor cost. No one else than people get paid!

And this is why allocating resources to improving the efficiency of human labor is so important. If a person can be get twice the amount of work done then the fruit of that labor is going to eventually be cheaper for everyone else.
This is a terrible article. It's a popularization of a bad legal paper, "The fable of the keys" (1https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/467198). The original did not appear in any publication devoted to ergonomics or human/computer interaction, probably because it does not contribute to those fields. It contains no original research, just some sniping at Dvorak's methodology. While picking at original research has its place, it doesn't constitute a breakthrough without repeating the original study, or doing better research.

Further, the authors clearly started with a conclusion (path dependence doesn't exist in most markets) and worked backwards to a conclusion (Qwerty keyboard is best). This popularization and the original exist only in service of unfettered free market ideology.
Should we put people in jail for obesity, smoking addiction or drinking addiction?

The societal costs of these diseases is bigger than any of the illegal drugs.

Handling of ill people should be the job of the health care system, not punitive system.
It's not "the system" but particular political interest groups. It comes in the form of disallowing certain books and teaching practices, emphasizing dominant/mainstream culture and subordination and a traditional sounding, distortive narrative. This is fueled by a lot of money and emotional propaganda. The counter reaction has increasingly become bureaucratic and moralizing instead of empowering and democratizing, which doesn't help the issue IMO.

A couple acres of pasture will, using grass, turn solar energy into carbohydrates, which will power a donkey -- no rare earths or complicated supply chains needed. With enough donkeys, your transportation even becomes self-replicating -- so much for gigafactories.

I don't understand why the worse technology won here. Pack animals are a much better solution if you really want to be prepared.

They even do better in the rugged mountains from which you will inevitably have to snipe at the federales with your jezail.

This isn't really true, random OSINT enthusiasts regularly do this sort of reconstruction on twitter.
Décriminalisation means users can legally get their drugs tested and know they are safe because the infrastructure to do that is now generally legal.

It's not clear to me we want, for example, heroin to be freely available. So it seems like a good least worst option.
Several commenters seem to have missed the distinction between decriminalisation and legalisation so here is the vital difference:

> Adults will be allowed to possess a combined total of 2.5 grams of opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine and MDMA.

> While those substances will remain illegal, adults found in possession for personal use will not be arrested, charged or have their drugs seized. Instead, they will be offered information on available health and social services

> In its request to the federal government last year, BC said it asked for the drug laws exemption in order "to remove the shame that often prevents people from reaching out for life-saving help

They’re probably referring to the diameter of a circle. The way it’s written is unclear, but not necessarily an error per se.
An anecdotal observation: working at a startup, I found that they were able to get some highly experienced developers, but had filled most of the management positions with young, inexperienced people. I didn't see ageism, rather than just bad management that didn't understand how to work with experienced people because they had this beginner notion that managing means "telling what to do" instead of coordinating. I suspect that kind of behavior is at the root of challenges like you saw, junior "leaders" who think they have the be the superior of other teams members because of some notion of hierarchy.
> but instead that operational load of running in-house software should be borne primarily by the developers of that software

Go back and read a few DevOps books and blogs by the founders of it. We will always need separate disciplines for dev and ops, just like we need mechanical engineers and mechanics/racecar drivers. But we need them to work together and communicate better to solve problems better and not throw dead cats over walls.

You can of course give devs more powerful tools, more access and agency to enable them to develop the software better. Sentry.io is a great example of what is needed; makes everyone's life easier, devs can diagnose issues and fix bugs quickly without anyone in their way. That doesn't require operations work because it's just simplifying and speeding up the triage and debug and fix and test phases. It's the fundamental point of DevOps.
They did try moving to mobiles, I used to have TomTom Navigator on my Symbian phone (Nokia N73), it worked quite well back then!

> You might have a very skewed view of those countries. Things happen there too, you just don't hear about it. Policies proposals that would draw bipartisan condemnation in the US and be unanimously rejected across the aisle might not even get any meaningful opposition in the "happy nordics".

This is silly. The US didn't take remotely close to the same amount of refugees per capita in the first place. They just let them die at the border instead.

That's actually my point.

If Kubernetes does indeed provide the best solution to provide scalability and availability, one can argue that this would result in a decreased demand for dev ops engineers, as they "would just have to use Kubernetes" and it would decrease their workload.

In reality this does not seem to be the case, that's why I asked.

Tesla seems to get a lot of work out of its employees because of how appealing the company’s mission is, but this seems like a recipe for burnout. Every employee must work 40 hours per week in a main Tesla office, unless Elon Musk himself personally approves the exception. Factory workers apparently have even more required of them.
