TBH I wouldn't expect someone stealing hard drives along more valuable stuff to just plug it to their Windows machine and call it a day because it doesn't mount.

Also the thief doesn't need to be the one dealing with the data, the same way people stealing cars are usually not the ones brokering them, and brute forcing an offline password wouldn't be crazy long considering it's supposed to be memorable (possibly by more than one person)

Just to say, spreading backup hard disks here and there, and assume everything will be fine even if some of them get lost in the wild feels like a pretty laid back attitude in contrast to the length spent on having a fully functional 2FA system.
I am also a parent. I would choose Germany without a doubt, and I have given it a lot of thought (Europe vs US (Seattle) ). Life is hard to predict, and if any of you are ever unlucky (any kind of health problem or accident), the kind of support you will get from the state in Germany, plus the help of your kids' grandparents is going to be invaluable.

Maybe in the best case your life in CA is going to be somewhat easier/better (huge career success, lots of money, all kind of experiences for your kids). But in all the outcomes in the middle, specially the worse ones, Germany is going to be so much better, giving it a huge lead on the average future timeline.
Not sure what this empirical analysis adds to answer the initial question. Sure, modern computers are fast and modern operating systems are designed to reduce latency.

At the same time the “best practices” of not using mutexes and malloc on real-time threads are there for a reason: They potentially trigger a system call, which will add quite some latency (as the measurements show). Because real-time is all about deterministic latency, this is undesired.
I'm probably overlooking an obvious answer, I'm not sure how you define this clearly. Using your noise level example, we know how to measure noise levels. It is straight forward to say your new technology complies with a noise regulation.

How do you do that for a regulation like standardized connectors? Just say you can't use any non-open-standard connectors?
It’s only your weird interpretation of what he’s saying that undermines this though.

He’s saying systems where you could lose your life savings to a forgotten password are unsafe. This is clearly true. He hasn’t proposed a specific solution but I think it’s far more likely he believes in “use other systems” than inserting a back door into the system he’s identified as fatally flawed.
I've experienced #1 before, when there should have been absolutely no doubt about my technical aptitude and the low level of questions asked confirmed they really didn't have a good grasp on what I could do. It turned out to me a big mistake to take that job, although it was at the beginning of the dot.com crash so I didn't think I could be very picky.

So I guess you have to...buy the bills? Which seems odd. But if they're not super expensive relative to their denominated value it could make sense. I might pay $1-2 per $20 bill for the novelty factor.

This definitely seems more convenient than performing a 10m blockchain transaction. But what's the value prop over USD cash? Just novelty?
> Really glad that dealers in Canada can't charge over MSRP for new vehicles

Oh, this explains it. I spend time in Wyoming. There appeared to be, last summer, a solid business of people buying cars across the border, driving them to Montana and/or Wyoming, and then re-selling them used.

I thought it was just the used car market being weird, though that didn't explain the Canada bit. This does.
>It's my understanding new cars are not significantly safer than cars from 10 years ago.

How did you come to that? The new cars are new and there's no real world statistics for them yet, if you only go by real world data.
> "The middle range of weight loss for people in this new study was 49 pounds -- 49 pounds is a lot," he said. "It's the range of weight loss that we typically think only possible through surgery."

Really? I've lost more than that and even after putting back on a bunch during the pandemic am still down 120+ lbs. It was hard, don't get me wrong, but I was never led to believe that only surgery could take that kind of weight off. It isn't even like this is a percentage thing, since the article talks about 15-21%, while I'm still down 37% (50% at my lowest).

That said, I would be sorely tempted to commit murder if it would get me access to a drug that can help me lose weight to the degree being talked about here.
I'm not a citizen of the EU, so your various centrally-planned interventions in the world economy affect me without any possibility of representation.

It leaves me hoping your economy becomes much smaller so Asia can start ignoring it. Or reform I guess, the vote is yours, not mine.

I FORGOT

I also wanted to add that those two things are separate for the purpose of this discussion:

- How people feel (after shorter or longer work periods)

- How productive people are.

From my experience, while doing a more mundane "conveyor belt" type of job I sure would like to have shorter work days too, I'm still able to churn out pretty much consistent quality to the end. That is different from (very design oriented, vs. standard not-much-brain-needed) code writing, where quality of what I produce suffers dramatically and I have to redo everything the next day(s) or get a lot of hard to maintain and/or debug code.

Of course, people may burn out more quickly or have negative health outcomes later, but that still is a different discussion than the one about productivity.
Thanks for the pointer, now my morning is shot as I dig through old diaries and photos rather than doing something productive.

It's just a sample size of one, but by the time I got rid of my car, which I'd had through the twenty aughts, I no longer had to memorize which gas stations actually changed the windshield fluid.

Maybe that's why some people have more bugs: they're coming out of the windshield fluid tanks at dodgy petrol shops whose cleaner buckets are all full of rainwater. :-)

For context, I drove from Bloomington, Indiana to the Bay Area twice. First time a more northern route via Colorado, the second time a southern route through the ABQ area with a stopover at the Flamingo in Vegas, since at the time they had a valet and REALLY reasonable rooms, but I wouldn't repeat that even if they kept those amenities -- driving within Las Vegas was the scariest experience of my life. Just trying to turn right out of a gas station near the strip after having taken my tank up to full was nerve wracking.

I felt safer on the 101 where I could let people overtake me and put the cruise control at 10 above the speed limit and listen to the audiobooks I had burned onto five MP3 CDs in a 5 disc changer.

But very rarely did I encounter that stereotypical "SPLAT" of a bug, let alone so many I had to clean the windshield... the issue was more dust and grime.
That describes also myself -- yet I didn't think about that possibility!
> the overwhelming consensus was that the TWO philosophy classes we had, were useless BS classes. Total waste of time. No "real-life" application.

Sometimes you just need people in a room who look like they are busy, especially to impress investors. No one actually looks to see if the division or acquired company is doing useful work, but it looks good to have them in the annual report and to mention how many "data scientists" and so forth they have working on the product -- a product which the investor knows nothing about and cares even less. They're just gambling on a hoped-for final outcome and believing that the next acquisition will fool the next investor into buying them out.
You should remove it if you can't control it.
I've lived both places, currently in Germany. Pay is higher in CA but so is COL. QOL in Germany is night and day better than CA. I recommend Germany for sure.
Honest question: why would you use perf instead of a Kubernetes-native profiler, like metrics-server?
I wish software developers wouldn't commonly take this advice. There's so many inefficient software out there which appears to be done this way just because the developers are always using the latest and greatest hardware that allows them to be unreasonable about resource usage.

* Paid vacation

* Paid maternity leave for both parents

* High job security (it's hard to fire someone)

* Working health care system which doesn't cost you anything if you get sick

These are big reasons for Germany. And with remote work you don't have to work for small companies in the small Bavarian town you are moving to. You can work for any in Germany or sometimes even in Europe or the US.

I assure you, if I wanted to be responsible for my own OS upgrades, I'd run Arch like the rest of the 0.05% of the desktop computer world who want to do this.
That depends, really on whether or not you will be around to support them after the launch, throwing something out in two weeks usually works well if it does not see adoption, then it's just a way to train your brain. But if it does see adoption then you have a responsibility towards your users and in that gray area where it requires serious time but not enough to live off you will end up harming your reputation and your users. I usually decide against side projects unless I'm 100% sure they will not become a burden and my users interests are safeguarded.

Hey, I'm glad that was cool for you. More than two rounds means you will live in a world of indecisive teams slogging through unproductive meetings for the rest of your time there. I don't even want to think what seven rounds would be like.

If it were me, I would have moved on to the next company where 2 or less rounds are more than sufficient.
I’d definitely take out the random selection of previous inputs… have a set list of random quotes you have setup yourself.

Most bitcoin regulation scenarios would just be an ordinary investment risk, in some senses. If you invest in commercial property and then changes in the tax treatment of real estate mean that the value of your investment falls then that just sucks for you. I can't see that it's any different if, for example, the US Government started demanding annual declarations of crypto wallets on tax returns and started taxing capital swings as income.

If cryptocurrency is actually confiscated I'm sure that the US government at least will be obliged to pay out. Given the volatility of bitcoin (and the extent to which it will likely drop if governments come out full square against it) I'm sure there will be legal arguments about what the compensation for the taking should be. But if the use-case is largely either (1) speculation or (2) hiding things from governments and governments limit the upside of (1) with tax or structural changes and crack down on (2) I don't think anyone's going to make the bag-holders whole in case of regulation rather than confiscation. Bigger companies than ~$4bn have gone bankrupt by misreading their market risks before.

I think the bigger question is anti-spam in anonymous chatrooms, even with the mobile phone requirements spammers (in particular from Nigeria, why does this country have so many scammers in particular?) are everywhere and spamming all the time, I'm in 5 or so groups and every day 2-3 spam messages have to be deleted. There are millions of fake channels and I wouldn't be surprised if up to or over 10% of telegrams messages sent are spam/scams.

> It all came to a head when somebody got fired and I disagreed with both the decision and how it was carried out. This was just one item amongst a bunch of other things.

I've never been involved in HR / sausage making you're describing but I can empathize so much with this feeling.

At one of my better jobs I was a developer on a backend app that would crash frequently due to queue processing issues. I kept getting distracted from what I was doing to fix this as it blocked account management teams from using the system (making money). I went out of my way to create a prototype tool to diagnose the issue (that I was fixing almost every day) and when I asked management for some time at work to finish it, they said no.

The way this was handled was fucking awful. They gave me a meeting to present what I created, but before it started the most senior person started things by saying "I'm going to let you present this but there's no way we're going to use it".

I wish I had just said ok I won't waste your time, I quit.

This is one of those PTSD trauma things I havent quite gotten over yet... it melted my candle in an unhealthy way.

It's especially sad for me because for a time (about a year?) it was the best job I've ever had and I really fondly look back on the things I did and (most of) the people I got to work with. It was a great fit for a time but it came undone in a way I was unprepared for.

The OP didn't define what constitutes an interview round. If they're being interviewed by 5 (now 6) people, we're incredibly close to ridiculous territory.

If each round included multiple interviewers, we're firmly in clown show territory. If you need that many interviewers, your interviewers aren't on the same page or properly calibrated.

It's a poor candidate experience. And from an interviewer perspective, getting 6+ people in a room is cumbersome and it'll be nigh impossible to come to a consensus. I routinely am an interviewer with Amazon and it's hard to navigate interview debriefs with four interviewers, a neutral third-party (i.e. 'bar raiser') and recruiter in the room.

As an interviewer, I wouldn't participate in an interview process that had 6+ interviewers. As a candidate, the company better be doubling my six figure salary before I'll consider subjecting myself to that clown show.
This world would suck for the same reason I don’t use debit to pay for things from untrusted merchants. Credit cards provide an incredible security layer in transaction reversibility that allows you to transact with unknown merchants. Internet payments doesn’t work without it. What cryptocurrency is going to solve this problem?
Agreed. I'm firmly in the boat of "expensive things own you" so I avoid owning them. I do try to take care of what I have but don't obsess over things that can and do happen.

That said. I did get rid of a perfectly good 2002 Camry to buy a Mustang Mach e about 14 months ago. It was pure indulgence and I'm still smitten. I try to take care of it, but don't park across 2 spaces an extra 200 meters away while at the grocery.
100% Germany. Quality of life is an actual focus of society here. You'll have more vacation days, more safety for your family and a more worry-free life. There's plenty of tech companies in Germany where English is the primary language. And if both of you work, you'll be very, very well off financially.
Looks like fun times, nice.
When I encounter bike lanes in this condition I stop for a moment and report it to the city using their mobile app. Typically it’s cleaned up within a few days, but more importantly this closes the feedback loop so it becomes possible for the city to address the problem in the long term.

You do know that if profits go down, companies don't have to contract, right?

Companies contract when they have losses... (or when their revenue goes down, but only if they predict it will keep going down, while in this case this would be a 1-time shock).

I see a bunch of people defending these corporations, I have to ask: why? Why are you defending corporations with tens if not hundreds of thousands of employees and decades of years of profits in the mid-to-high tens of billions of dollars? Their abuses are well documented, is it Stockholm syndrome?

The whole discussion reminds me a bit of the similar move the EU did back in 2009: Introduce a (voluntary) common external power supply (Micro-USB).

Now, I feel the same arguments are brought in again.
1) Hinders innovation
2) Lock on a single technology

I've lived in CA for 22 years, just moved away, and have studied German language and culture and music for all my life and have visited several times. So I guess I can speak fairly well to this.

Overall, it pains me to say this, but I'd have to choose Germany. Climate change impacts in California are already significant (wildfire smoke, water shortages, power grid issues), and are going to get a lot worse. Yes, the income will be higher in California, but so will the cost of living, especially the part about trying to buy a decent house, which is essential for long-term financial stability. You don't want to deal with the random capricious rent increases in the Bay Area, that I can tell you. And you don't want to deal with being constantly hassled and lorded over by some landlord. That's no way to raise a family.

Germany has superior social programs, a real health care system, seems less likely to be taken over by a fascist government (at least in the near-term), vastly superior support for education and the arts, no gun nuts, and doesn't have a government crippled by Mitch McConnell. People actually care about the well-being of the entire society, there. The mass transit is, well, legendary.

I think it's a very good bet that your overall quality of life will be superior in Germany.
