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".

Here's a very troubling example that is happening right now:

Denmark is currently deporting back to syria all of its syrian refugees. They revoked their residency almost overnight and declared that Syria is now safe even if the Civil war is far from over. Considering that the groups that those refugees originally escaped from are still in power (whether it's Assad or the islamists), it basically means certain death for a lot of them (even those lucky enough to avoid reprisals will probably end up forcibly conscripted). They also argue that Damascus is completely safe for refugees who specifically escaped the syrian government security services (gestapo lite)... because that same government is now fully in control and has pacified the entire region.

>In 2019, the Danish prime minister declared that Denmark wanted ‘zero asylum seekers’. That was a really strong signal*
>That's really good news," Mr Tesfaye said in February. "Corona, of course, plays a role, but I think first and foremost, it's because of our strict foreign policy. Many of those who come here do not need protection at all."
>The government has set a target of zero, arguing that the money saved can go towards welfare[0]

The most troubling part is that all of this is happening under a "moderate" left wing government with pretty wide support and little to no actual backlash. So yeah, I'd be hesitant to use nordic countries as a model for everything. It's a lot of tradeoffs and the welfare state can be sweet for some, but I know that personally as a muslim I'd much rather live elsewhere
I haven't seen a single competetive job posting from a research institution in 10 years of software development, despite having the desire and acumen to seek them out. I don't expect that to change. If I care enough about a thorny research problem, I'll start my own company, do my own research, and maybe hire some academics as bargain-barrel contributors to do grunt analytics work... the last thing I'll do is join a research mill as a cost-center tech hire.

"Most RSEs have a PhD"... talk about selecting aggressively for people with no experience building functional software. Hiring only PhDs to write research software smacks of hiring only white males who can drink and play golf to function as business executives. You're selecting for ability to posture, not deliver value.
Sounds exactly like a websocket issue. Typically a matter of making sure you have the right options on the proxy block.

I recently quit a job as a software engineer on a research project for all the reasons mentioned. They want grunts who don't care about project management or good engineering practices and they will belittle you as not worth the money even when you took a (theoretical, as I am overemployed) massive paycut to go and work for them. I made 1/3 there compared to the jobs I am interviewing for to replace it.

These people desperately need software help and have worthwhile projects that need software help. They also need to learn to collaborate over just parsing out obscure goals and being upset when what they get matches their three sentence email and not their vision in their head.

I like the concept but I wouldn't be surprised if most of the security checks could be circumvented. my guess is the checks "is_china_country" and "is_risky_geo_location" can be trivially passed with a service like cloudflare. So essentially this would lead to a cat and mouse game.

I would like to see something like this for OSS. Trust score that takes into account the maintainers of OSS components. For example if a maintainer is known for injecting protestware their "trustworthiness" score would indicate that. For example with this maintainer [1] refusing to adopt 2FA, the score should reflect that.

Technically true, but if you lose your key and don't have a backup, or forget your password, you're stuck; there's no recovery process (except brute force, which doesn't work on secure passwords), by design.

There's no real winning move here that doesn't open them up to Chinese framework clones on Alibaba in a month

Arguably if the Chinese wanted to, they could've already beaten Framework to the market. All the major OEMs/ODMs are in China (or Taiwan, but let's not get political here...) and I'm almost willing to bet Framework just contracted this work out to one of them. Also, those OEMs/ODMs are very much capable of taking the Intel reference design schematics and fitting them into the requested shape. That's basically how things like the Thinkpad X62 happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15274644

This is something, but it's also not very helpful at this point with how transmissible BA.2 is. Masks wouldn't even bring BA.2 to BA.1 transmissibility.

You left out IO but oh well - ifixit has had 5 laptops that have recieved a 10/10 for repairability since 2010 and only 2 were released this decade (one was Framework).

https://www.ifixit.com/laptop-repairability?sort=score

I don't think you can upgrade the CPU for a single laptop on this list, let alone many of the other components and certainly not for hardware that came out after the original laptop release. Framework has that upgradability, that repairability etc.

Being on streaming services seems like it's table stakes for new artists these days. All the friends of mine who seriously create music make sure to release it on Spotify. Those of us who make music less seriously still release it for free on Soundcloud. No, none of us are signed to major labels.
The judge said Epic failed to prove Apple had a monopoly, not that they do not have a monopoly.
I don't know I've been places where the difficulty scaling and failure to do it promptly posed an existential threat. As in "this system is poorly designed and needs to be rewritten so we're going to pause new features for six months to do it", you can't always just magically find an expert to solve your problems in a timely manner, and feeding the technical debt monster can easily kill startups.
In an ideal world you would be using a static typed language on the BEAM. Maybe there are some. I'm not saying that you should look for them or create one, because there are obvious advantages in using a language with a large community and creating a new community is a years long process, apart from the technical complexity of designing and implementing a language. You and I are probably paid for something else.

BMW is a more mature organization with relatively slow or even unchanging processes.

Tesla on the other hand is rapidly scaling up and constantly changing its assembly line and was doing work out of actual tents until recently (probably now as well).

What works for BMW is unlikely to work for Tesla
.

Even if Tesla was stable their manufacturing processes and tech DNA are very different from BMW or other major car makers, more in-house vertical integration and electric driver train vs traditional ecosystem and conventional combustion engine.
I'd encourage you to have a look at a well-known European physics research laboratory's (rhymes with Bern) library and engineering departments (not IT, unless they've started using version control and tests since I worked there). The salary is not as bad as academia, and there's plenty of interesting stuff going on. Most of it is accessible to anyone interested in a way I've not seen outside of academia.
Many of the workers have to be there because it is physically impossible to do their jobs if they aren't.

The rest have to support, manage, or otherwise interact with the people who need to physically be there, and the most efficient way to do that is if they are also there.

Now, after you enjoyed the fun and the popcorn, I might point out that we are not in the 1950s anymore.

The safety of nuclear energy is something regulated by the NRC. I have never heard anyone accusing the NRC for being lax.

Here’s a link with the NRC approval of NuScale’s SMR reactor

https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/smr/nuscale.html

If you browse through those links you will find out the approval consists in a few thousand pages. Only the requests for additional information form a list of 149 pages, at about 10-20 requests per page

https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/new-licensing-file...

A very conservative estimate would put the regulatory effort at a few hundred thousand man-hours of work, and the work on NuScale’s side to be in the millions of man-hours.

EOY there might be a bounce-back, which may be starting already. But it is somewhat unlikely that the rate hikes the fed are planning will really get inflation in check. We're seeing sticky wage inflation due to fewer people in the workforce and the fed is going to have to invert the yield curve to get that under control. They are going to have to hit the brakes in a way that hasn't been seen since Volker and will cause significant amounts of pain.

By the end of 2023 things should have gotten very exciting.

Rather it’s written to professional staff, which includes his non trivial software groups. I see nothing indicating it’s written to senior management, in fact his only scoping reference is about a mid level HR type role and it was fairly obviously written to everyone other than the factory workers who obviously can’t work from home.

No kidding. If you've studied enough other laptop schematics you'll quickly realise this. Some might be more cost-optimised ("cost down" in jargon) than others, but they aren't all totally unique and almost always based on reference schematics from Intel or AMD.

Shameless plug: this is exactly the spirit behind what we're building at Kurtosis! (https://www.kurtosistech.com/) You get an isolated environment running real services connected to each other, so if you have a container with your mock then from your app's perspective it will look just like the actual upstream.
Yeah, I totally agree. I'm just responding to the comment:

> I don't understand why internet radio has died. Sure, spotify etc but broadcast music is different. Radio didn't die because CDs existed

My point is that CDs and subscription streaming are two totally different beasts, and it's not surprising that the latter was more of a disruptor to FM/internet radio.
Your latter suggestion (public corporation) exists. Check out Renew Power - they're a large developer from India. The challenge historically has been there are very few such listed developers. Most of this asset class so far has only been available to very large funds - Goldman, Walburg, etc who operate privately. That's why we entered the space too (see: www.renewables.org - only for accredited investors for now)

I own an IT company among other things, bread and butter is servers & networking. 99% of laptops that people buy aren't the ultra portables with the soldered everything, they are the bulky $600 Laptops. Even in the ultra portables, screens and motherboards are replaceable, it's a toss up with storage and ram.

The comment I replied to specifically said motherboards and LCDs, which I still maintain 99% of laptops fit that.

Total Compensation (salary + bonus + equity or whatever the Tesla equivalent is).
it depends - if your direct reports must be on site to work, it does make them feel salty that their boss isn't there with them. But you could make it work, if the relationship is one of mutual respect and trust. If the boss is there to micromanage or to enforce work quotas, then it won't work.
This site is simply full of shit.
I'm with you. But you can imagine that for the average listener, especially those with limited free time and disposable income, tracks going gray is rare enough that it doesn't warrant switching back to buying CDs.

It's nice that you Have Nothing to Hide, but not everyone wants to - or can - live like that.

I think future tech like Kilt protocol would go a long way to helping solving this problem. But I think generally there is a lot of solution options such as KYC processes that could take steps to solve it, some countries would perhaps be easier than others to solve initially. Is there not a team/ think tank working purely to solve these types of problem?

Solving this type issue should matter most above all, its the grass roots of users that's made FB what it is.
This is something that I learned much later on (50+ hours in), it's much easier to time with action than pause. By slot in a medium/light slash between enemy long winding/telegraphs, I can time the roll/parry much more consistent, and it's dying faster too.
Nice exposition of Tesla's grift.

For all that screaming about $100/kWh packs, none of those cost savings ever seem to trickle down to the end customer.
I imagine the design, AI, software and technical operations etc workforce is fairly large. Likewise their accounting groups etc. I.e., the segments of every other company that are rebelling against coming in. None of these are working with the line workers.

Just like Amazon, most of the employees work in Whole Foods or fulfillment centers. But the professional staff in software engineering etc don’t have to be in the office to do their work. Even if their software impacts the fulfillment center they likely have never set foot in one.

Yes, and it has a number of other features, but it's behind a paywall. So perhaps this is for those that want some of those features but don't want to pay.

Yaknow I actually transitioned from doing dev stuff to ops at a smallish startup. I was brought in to help with a green field rewrite. Eventually it became clear just how much of a mess the deployment environments were so I cleaned everything up and parameterized things so that when we went to stand up the new production environment it was quick and painless.

I got hired on at megacorp to do pretty much that with a suite of green field apps. And so I did, across a few apps and a zillion different environments because all of a sudden spinning up a new integrated environment was easy. The devs ran a lot of stuff locally but still had cloud based playgrounds to use before they hit the staging environments. Perhaps the best part though was having the CI stuff hooked into appropriate integrations, so even if you couldn't run it locally you sure as shit tested it before it hit staging. SOC2 compliance was painful for the company but not so much for us.

If you're sensing a theme with "green field" you'd be on to something. Even in a largeish company it's not so much the complexity as it is the legacy stuff that'll get you. Some legacy stuff will just never be flexible (e.g. the 32-bit Windows crap we begged Amazon to let us keep running) and even the most flexible software will have enough inertia to make change painful.

Tangentially this is also why I get apprehensive when I see stuff like that linux-only redis competitor.

There are failure modes that showcase creativity, and there are failure modes that don't showcase creativity. These seem like they're largely the latter to me.
Terminating emplpyees without cause makes the employee eligible for unemployment benefits. The more employees that receive unemployment benefits, the higher the unemployment insurance premiums will be (billed to the company by the state government).
Without explaining your expectations that 7.3 number is nothing more than wishful thinking to someone that might be interested in your product. On top of that, your accredited investors have a short track record of returns and do not reflect the product you are soliciting - you admit it isn’t the same return structure. Without showing your work you are going to have a hard time convincing someone this is worthy of a commitment.
Would love to know that as well. I have worked with few agencies as a contractor. From what I heard it is very hard to have a decent margin doing software dev work unless you have offshore subcontractor connections or an offshore office. When you have a downturn it could be brutal with an onshore team.

If you're designing a car, are you not ever going to go down to the production line to see how your design worked out?

If there's an issue with your design and you need to rearrange it to accommodate some production limitation, do you think it might be helpful to be able to walk down to the factory floor and look at it first hand?

There's tons of companies where you can do all the work remotely. If that's a high priority, don't work at Tesla. When you need to make physical products, it's helpful to be at the place where the physical product are being made, because they don't just exist entirely in your code editor.
Yea, it's frustrating because there are indeed some super cool projects just waiting to have interesting software written for them, especially in the more hardware/physical oriented R&D areas. There are some areas that take software seriously, but in general, I have found it really difficult to get scientists and research engineers excited about anything that they don't know about. I don't think its malice. I think its part of their education and institutionalization couple a little with arrogance and somewhat blind view towards areas outside their expertise. I have given presentations before, and I usually only got interesting feedback from non-PI level workers. I always tried to paint a picture that we were doing state of the art technology development, so why shouldn't state of the art software be developed to support that?
I see so many folks reading that it is to the executives only. But it’s fairly clearly written to the professional staff, which includes functions like software engineering, AI, design, and a bunch of the workforce that likely wants to work from home a lot and reasonably can successfully. I’m a little confused where the “execs” interpretation comes from. Do you think the person who handles HR for the Fremont plant is an executive? They’re a mid level person at best, but they’re a professional worker rather than a line factory worker.
Exactly.

It's really easy to make speculative quasi-legal decisions when it's not your company.
