> elective dictatorship where the Prime Minister of the day effectively exercises all the powers of the sovereign, without any real accountability or separation of powers

(As an American) this is a more pessimistic view of how it appears to me. Maybe I'm being naive but the voice of the people does appear to provide accountability. The idea that David Cameron felt the need to resign after the Brexit vote because he no longer had the support of the public seems like a big deal to me. We're not really big on admitting defeat over here.
What's most important is to have complimentary skills and shared values. Lots of clues to what sharing values can look like:

1- social cues (do they say or do things the same or different?)
2- similar goals/motivations (do you often pursue similar milestones? do their motivations match or compliment yours?)
3- similar methods/reasons (do they think in lean terms? or large strategic moves? are they abstract? or ultra practical and metric driven?)

Make sure you can trust this person and that they always try to follow through on what they say. Understand how their own perception of their own status and recognition by others affects their decision making. I'd advise to watch very closely what they do, and weight what they say (justifications, rationalizations,) very lightly.
Amusing. I felt the same way in tomb raider. But then I don't find any video game to be particularly immersive (and to pre-empt the inevitable responses, no VR is not immersive at all either). That's not universally true. Many people freak out when something like this happens to their avatar. But tomb raider was the epitome of the cinematic but braindead AAA gameplay genre. In terms of content its actually pretty lean. The game has a linear story and every moment is handcrafted faux-cinematics. Probably a problem, but certainly a different problem than the bloated content issue.

Right. I’m actually surprised the test with 256kB transfers gives reasonable results, and would rather have tested with > 1GB instead. For such a small transfer it seemed likely that the overhead of spawning the process and loading libraries by far dominates the amount of actual work. I’m also surprised this didn’t show up in profiles. But if obviously depends on where the measurement start and end points are

I think people with numerous DUIs are just as likely to have a serious disease as have some moral failing resulting in them being a 'scumbag.' To me, choice is a major differentiator rather than 'obviously this person has a history of x actions' in the abstract.

To complicate things further, CNN customers are not necessarily a cross section of "folks". So what works for CNN may not work for Fox may not work for the Wall Street Journal may not work for your local news.
I am not op but I use streets I walk down a lot. I've moved a lot since I learned this technique about ~12 years ago so I have a lot of apartments, hallways, and streets to pull from. Although I generally only use it for short term things and will use my walk to work even though I don't walk to work anymore.
99+% of news is useless or redundant to most people so it’s only really consumed as entertainment either way.

Imagine if they keep reusing headlines “Trump made a tweet that offended someone news at 11” could have been run hundreds of time slanted to the left or right but was it ever actually important for either side?
If they wanted combat to be a thing, they could use it as a gate - "You can't build here, enemies are nearby". I think they could actually make combat a fun part of exploration in that way, by giving you a limited area you can build in initially and giving you rewards in new buildable land from combat. It would vastly change the game, though, which is perhaps not a bad thing.
> How would a broker treat a customer's short position in, say RSX?

Matt Levine has done a nice writeup about these cases. Basically, you're stuck loaning the stock, so you keep paying loan fees. If you're unable to close the short, you're stuck paying those fees forever, and you never make an actual profit on the short.
It's amazing to think that some McKinsey consultant convinced CNN to launch CNN+. No one is watching CNN for free and they thought that people would pay for their content?
It's important if it's a "language" because the original thread claimed that it was one (and indeed, a number of comments in responses to this article are still making that claim). You may argue that discovering how DALL-E tries to map nonsense words to nouns is independently interesting, and that's fine (I don't find it interesting personally though--considering it has to pick something, and the evidence that these spaces are not particularly robust when confronted with far out of sample input, I don't even think calling it a secret vocabulary would be accurate), but the authors should reasonably expect some pushback if they argue that this is linguistics.
They have a long ways to go to earn back my trust. CNN is outright just sensational commentary posing to be news. The broadcast outlets don’t focus on commentary, but the selective coverage and specific questions in interviews peak their obvious agenda. Then you have Fox News, who is unashamedly doing the same thing on the right.

The pandering to selective political ideologies and pushing particular agendas is pervasive across the American media landscape. I don’t know if it’s better in other countries.

I do think think social media gets a lot of criticism and disdain from these outlets, and sure I’m not a fan of FB or Twitter. But traditional American news media in my mind has been stirring this pot for decades, and they seem to get a pass. We talk about breaking up FB, but these American news outlets seem to get a pass.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Super Chats are limited to $500 per user per day, so the parent comment's claim of seeing individual $1,000+ Super Chats was false regardless of the total donations for a stream. Furthermore, people subverting the platform's limit does not magically make the company "nefariously marketing" and "taking advantage" of people. In fact, you're describing the opposite of nefarious, as the daily cap is clearly meant to slow the rate of individual contributions.

Remember that your employment is a business relationship between two entities: yourself and your employer. They owe you nothing, neither do you owe them. Don't try to turn it into a lifestyle, work unpaid overtime, or sacrifice your social life or other important things for the sake of a job.

Always give reasonable notice before taking time off or quitting, and try not to burn bridges. Your colleagues will be a valuable resource for your professional future.

Don't be "that guy". Politics, religion, your sex life - keep them outside. While at work, focus on your work and avoid divisive or potentially alienating speech (I would also include workplace relationships here - as a general rule, just don't do it, #1 source of drama and unpleasantness).
The problem is that it is breaking news. It is news about an event that is happening as they speak. The fact that it is frivolous news has no bearing on whether or not it is breaking.

But the whole concept is from a time when communication was slow. The news that traveled the fastest was the most important. So when something was denoted as "breaking news", you'd know that it was important enough to be told right now.

But today? We practically know of events before they're covered by news organizations. And communication is so quick and cheap that even the most banal information can be bandied about without care. So we can be notified of everything. All news we hear is "breaking". So the term has lost its cachet. We don't need it anymore.

I think the uncharitable self-interpretation of this feeling is "burn out" or "not caring" when it might be more accurately described as more responsible information consumption. It's not like we've always had this unfettered access to global heartbreak and problems we can't do anything about plus a responsibility to consume it. The idea that we have to pay attention to everything in the world every minute of the day else we're terrible civil servants is a relatively new phenomenon... and not one that I think is particularly productive, or valid.

> Opinion pieces are strewn throughout regular news links, and that really cheapens the brand of news delivery they had.

We lost some real valuable metadata about news from the print era, opinion pieces were limited to Column 1 and the last few pages of section A in most major publications. They were sometimes even in a different font. You knew instinctively that the content you were reading was held to a different standard than the main content.

It would really help if we somehow bring that metadata back in a video and online environment.
And there’s no reason to take anything on CNN seriously when they do that. I moved back to printed newspapers and magazines, and don’t regret it, although nothing is instantaneous anymore. I can skip over shenanigans and ads.
As someone who moved from Engineering to Product Management, I agree with this article for the most part. It's really important that Engineers grow their product sense and other product skills. Not just so you can communicate effectively within your org with other teams and with your PM, but because it helps you empathize for your customers.

The thing a lot of engineers (including myself at one point my career, perhaps) lack is empathy for their customer. Your job isn't to write code, your job is to solve problems for the customer. The value a company generates with it's software is by taking on customer problems and making it their problem to solve. Solving the problem is fundamentally the most important thing. But to understand the problem you need to understand the customer, and that requires empathy.

Anything you do in your career that improves your empathy towards your customers will make you a better engineer because you'll make better decisions at every turn in ways which grow the business and improve customer QoL. Maybe along the way you'll also learn the value of PMs and maybe decide you might rather be one... that's kind of what happened with me.
It's good to be skeptical, but I think the role is critical if done right. Someone described a good PM as "a conductor keeping the orchestra in sync". And even as you described - someone needs to be the layer to gather feedback from customers, make sure it's feasible to build, decide what to build vs. what not to build and when, make sure executives are happy, keep the designers on track and focused, etc.

If that layer is lossy, then you simply have a bad PM (which doesn't mean there should be NO pm, it just means you need a better one.)

Do you as an engineer want to be doing design reviews and giving feedback on page layout and usability? Do you want to be on 20 customer calls talking about the business, showing demos, and getting feedback? Do you want to present to the board what your next few releases are going to look like? Do you want to maintain a product strategy so that you have a source of truth to answer "should we build this?"

You may say "yes" for some of those some of the time, and that's great and important. But if you're saying "yes" to all of that all of the time, then congrats, you're not actually a full-time engineer, you're a PM who knows how to code :)
Pretty sure 'breaking' meant 'late-breaking' and the colour etc were meant to inflect urgency (also a bit of a sales tactic, but different intent) rather than particularly large news.

Trump indirectly ruined NPR they put a good faith effort into acting impartial before but they gave that up.
>" push to bring CNN back towards hard news coverage, and away from progressive commentary."

I'd be weary about this. I don't sense CNN was somehow compelled to present progressive commentary and they now want to confront that market pressure, but rather, they employ mostly progressive journalists and that is how they choose to cover the news.

I suspect the execs will try to tone it down but progressives aren't known for wanting to be neutral or muted about their causes. Activism and "everything is political" are fundamental aspects of their worldview.
>I think transparency is always good, although one worry I do have is that forcing benign declarations (i.e. what amounts to disclosing that when you turn on X, it does X), creates something similar to "alert fatigue".

The golden days are sadly gone. It has pretty much all been dried up after the US crackdown.
Before that, sites were full with very loosely playing Americans who viewed a loss of a $100 just 'entertainment' or equivalent of a night out.
With that all gone, you have tons of very tight Chinese and Russian players these days.

Don't expect that to soon. Language models are still really bad at having any kind of purpose to the text they generate. It just meanders around a theme with no ultimate point, which is to be expected given that they don't have any purpose other than producing plausible sounding text (unlike writers who typically are seeking to convey something in their texts, even if it's a banal message like "the game continues only if you go to the left").
>They regularly forgo important local and international stories unless they're comical or sensational ...

I don't know how to tell you this but that's probably because CNN targets an American audience and most Americans don't care about either of those things outside of very narrow circumstances (such as if they're funny or relevant to the individual's concerns). It's not a failing to focus on coverage people will read.
Nowhere. But I don't think it's fair for proprietary code to use open-source code, especially if it's licensed under the GPL. And having the biggest collection of open-source software run on a proprietary system is just absurd.

What I always found interesting is that the AP actually provides other news outlets a "score" on the significance of a new story in their newswire, but because outlets are competing for attention - this score never gets acknowledged and instead, everything is just marked as "breaking news" by the other outlets.

If only all outlets adhered to the significance score.

Sure the more savvy you are the more “better than google” services you know. But let’s be honest DoorDash, Uber, Yelp are all pretty much household names.

Being able to do the right google search also requires some saviness so probably a person who doesn’t know Yelp exists also doesn’t know how to internet.
Suspicious Activity Report. The bank is going to file paperwork which in the US goes to a Federal agency responsible for figuring out what people are doing, some of it might be innocent (e.g. withdrawing $500 000 and putting it in a safe under your bed is a bad idea but not illegal) but much is not.
The 80s was a period of stagflation though and not just inflation. I don't see even the most bearish analysts predicting stagflation. Inflation combined with low unemployment and wage growth is a whole new territory.
