Parents of one of the victims of the recent elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas are attempting, or preparing, to sue the gun manufacturer of the semiautomatic rifle that was used in that event. Will they sue, will they win? I don't know.

Do guns kill people or do people kill people? Could be a relevant analogy.

Daniel Dennett has an excellent book Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393348784

Here's a short article about it: https://fs.blog/dan-dannetts-thinking-tools/

One lovely idea I liked from the book is a recommendation, whenever in an argument / discussion, is to understand the other person's point of view and articulate it so well, that they say "I couldn't have said it better myself". Because it is starting from that point that can you can know you're not strawmanning or misunderstanding each other.
From a purely isolated Experimental (Physics) point of view this might be true. But of course both theory and experiments are highly intertwined. For instance if you would like to observe Neutrinoless Double beta decay in nature, even if it exists, you might never get a chance to actually measure it because it would occur so seldomly. With setups like the LHC there is actually a realistic chance (if such phenomena exist) to measure them and thus applying that knowledge to various theories existing or in the making.

That said, of course particle physics results have direct applications. For instance in speculative commercial applications of Nuclear fusion and also Quantum Computing is connected to particle physics. I mean even GPS systems are based on 4D space time. Not entirely sure if any of that can be directly attributed to research happening in colliders but this is just one part of the field, mainly the experimental part - which can verify/falsify theories or result in new ones.

> would I switch? I've tons of data in there, and most people I care about know this is my email.

Surely fact that you have a lot of data is precisely the reason you need to safeguard it?

Copying all old emails to a new account takes a few clicks in outlook/thunderbird/whatever you prefer

Setting up forwarding takes a couple minutes. This isn't like leaving WhatsApp where you are stuck

Not built-in, but it's documented and supported by the community somewhat. Take a look at the docs and previous hn threads
The only thing I support more than WFH is my competitors working 20% less.

If they're doing this to compete for talent, go ahead by all means. I suspect they need to do something like this also because they're a UK SaaS company (so lower wages to start) serving the low-end of the non-profit market (price sensitive buyers). And they don't have the enterprise features to compete with Salesforce and CRM for the high-end segment.
There's a middle-ground here, which is far more reasonable and seems to be a critical missing piece of OP's company: Disaster recovery. Ask, what's the minimum we need to do to keep the business running when our provider(s) disappear or go down for an extended period of time? And then implement those steps.

When you pay someone else to handle your data, there is a lot that can go wrong. GitHub could go down, they could lose (or corrupt) your repos, they could accidentally delete your account. The nice thing about git is that it's absolutely trivial to clone repositories. There is _zero_ reason not to have a machine or VPS _somewhere_ that does nightly pulls of all of your repos. When Github goes down, you'll lose a lot of functionality, but at least you have access to the code and can continue working on the most urgent things.

I'm not clear on the details but OP's issue seemed to be around a broken CI system. At its heart, CI is just the automatic execution of arbitrary commands. Every repo (or project consisting of multiple repos) _should_ have documentation for building/testing/deploying code outside of whatever your CI system is. If your source of truth for how to use your code is in the CI system itself, then your documentation is very lacking and yes, you are susceptible to outages like these.
For some programs allocation can be a lot slower than actually accessing the memory unfortunately.

Just read your latest edit: Thank you for reaching out and getting a definitive answer. For the record, I don't object to the argument that "blockchain is useless" - I don't think it's useless, but I can understand why many people do believe that. What was off-putting about his tweet was the notion that its an unsafe system that arises from unrecoverable private keys, or, in other words, systems whose security depends on the privacy of private keys are unsafe.

I am relieved that that is not his position.
> but it is no less polemical and ideological than the comment you are responding to.

I beg to differ. I don't think that using dictionary definitions to make ones arguments can be counted as polemic (as in; to use contentious rhetoric). I might be wrong though.

> I'm assuming the previous comment meant human and not child

No, I actually meant 'child'. An human embryo is - obviously - human. No discussion about that. A human embryo is not a child - the definition of that is also pretty much settled, I'd say. (At least from a scientific point of view.)

But maybe I didn't clearly state my case, thus the misunderstanding.

The point I'm making is as follows. Embryos are not children and thus they are not persons. Just as I cannot murder my toe (it might be human, but it's not a person) I cannot murder an embryo.
I've been a victim of this too and it sucks. People will flat out copy your business, and while they're at it, they'll go and copy and paste your painstakingly-written documentation as well. This really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I always try to go with the OG when I find these types of instances, since they're likely the one actually innovating (I know nothing of FireHydrant, so this is just conjecture).

Or is it like the various local tradesmen who will offer me a 20% discount for payment in physical currency? That is, we both know that's not going onto any balance sheet that the taxman will see.
>every single job

That's the problem, there. One-size-fits-all approach.

Every job is different. A lot of it is up to the management. If they get it right, things are shiny. If they get it wrong, they're sitting on their beanbag chair, alone, waiting for the movers to take the furniture away.

But every company (and internal culture) is different. Some, I intensely dislike, but have to admit, they get results. Others, I like the culture, but I don't feel they get much done.

Also, every employee is different. I know people that dress up in bespoke suits for work, in a cube farm, every day, and absolutely love it.

I know people that hate remote work, and can't wait to get back into the office.

Different(folks).different(strokes)

Good managers, especially first-line managers, are worth their weight in gold, and are usually disregarded by upper managers.

A good manager can make an open-plan or cube farm job an absolute joy, and a bad manager can make a corner office career a nightmare.

I like to think I was a good manager. I kept really good employees for decades, in a pretty banal environment, and for a fairly low salary. They could have gone anywhere, and they knew it, but they stuck around, anyway.
Are you thinking of AWS maybe?
I agree. I am brought in somewhat regularly to "unfuck" troubled teams. Most times, what my manager is actually wanting is for me to tell him why the project should just be abandoned and the team rebuilt for something else.

When it goes well, everyone loves me. Especially the team. Because they've been saying all along what's going off the rails but nobody listens any more. But I can say it, and for a while at least everyone hears it.
This feels like a rehash of older ideas I don't particularly like, eg. "A players hire A players, B players hire C players", etc.

For a long time I couldn't pin down why this stuff bugged me, but I think I finally have it: it considers people to be static and one-dimensional. Because hey, there's no way the people who are expert/genius/10x could fall off the wagon, or stop keeping up with the field, or have kids, or burn out, right?

And similarly, the reverse is also true - is it impossible to train people to be better at their jobs? Are successful startups a magical place where a couple brilliant people come together and after that, a company can never hire that level of brilliance again?

There was another article a week or two ago that spent some time discussing how software tends to be 80% reading/maintenance work and 20% (maybe) greenfield work, and how optimizing for readability, durability, easily understood code and the like is better for the long-term health of a project/company than flashes of brilliance. And I'd guess that as your product scales and matures, shipping quickly becomes more difficult because more work has to be done to prepare things; quality expectations have changed; interfacing with and matching existing components functionality becomes a bigger part of the process. Saying stuff like "we lost our most brilliant people and now things are falling apart" feels like an excuse and an organizational failure to me, rather than a talent problem.
Subsidizing an American company is not necessary for Germany's security. In fact, it undermines it.

> We believe Bitcoin will lead the world toward a better future.

This sentence reminds me of The Operative in the movie Serenity (2005), played by Chiwetel Ejiofor, who kept telling everyone over the course of the movie, "We're making a better world" -- with the conviction of a true believer. I guess only true believers talk like that.
How many RISC-V research centers could be created with that money?
A lot of work computers MiTM all traffic using a corporate certificate authority. A middle box tears apart the requests, and repacks it using its own cert.
In theory it's like how a school project is scheduled - you have milestones and a deadline but you can work flexibly as long as you hit your targets. So if you want to get it all done on the first day, crunch on the last, or spread it out, it's up to you and no one cares as long as it's complete with sufficient quality.

Likely this doesn't work well on a team, or for more open-ended work. Never seen any organisation aside from private contractors who actually do this though.
Profit margin is a different thing.
Doesn't say whether that's priced at the start or end of a contract, so there might be a 50% variance in there too.
Sounds like a bargain given the local skill base support and industrial autonomy.

The most economical solution is to hand virtually all industrial expertise and capacity to China, who not coincidentally massively subsidizes its industrial base. China's government puts its thumb on the scale. Not doing the same is unilateral disarmament.
Its not Homomorphic but "structural encryption". Less useful than HE but faster.
>Not entirely sure how this "lets ignore the knowledge we've accumulated and start over afresh" idea is supposed to mesh with the notion that science is a product that builds on earlier results.

This is coming from a forum where it's normal to see "something that already exists, but written in $newLanguage/Framework" as a thing to celebrate. So why not just redo science but with newShiny so we haven't actually achieved anything? /s
Interestingly, Neo-Nazi groups were some of the first to establish a relationship with the more right wing civil rights groupsm. George Lincoln Rockwell had a personal relationship with Malcom X, on the basis of shared views of anti-semitism and racial separatism. Which, of course, Malcom X would later change his opinions of and denounce.
How does it work? Their landing page is vague
They could even pay scientists a more reasonable wage and make funding easier to get with all that money and maybe not have an unsustainable university system where even amazing researchers can't get multi-year reliable funding (in the US, I know it is less bad elsewhere).

But sure, go build a $100B machine out of habit.

Most regulation is inspired or at least sold to the public based on prior willful negligence or intentionally harmful practices. There wouldn’t be regulation if people followed some “do no harm principle” which is an utterly unrealistic libertarian fantasy like completely informed participants.

That's like saying that nuclear weapons exist, and bad actors can potentially get them, so let's lower the bar so that anyone can.

Making such tools accessible is reprehensible. It will lead to more bad actors, to less trust in media and in any objective reality, and more erosion of our institutions and society.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for this. It's unethical and frankly downright evil.
What company has the next-best litho machines after ASML?
My view is best stated that I think people are more capable than they think they are. And I'm unsure people even attempt a try at most things. Maybe that's a negative view but I feel that's what I've observed.

I don't worry too much because most of the most important entities, such as say Social Security in the US forces 2FA on users. I just signed up on that site the other day, and they simply force you to do everything securely, or you don't get in. I found the process lengthy, but appropriate and well-done. That's a great example of how to secure something important without waiting on industry to solve everything.

I agree password management is one of the most difficult parts of the average person's digital experience. Until it's solved through a universal pact by Google/Microsoft/Apple, the built-in password manager on iOS is pretty decent for those types of users. Passkey is a good step in popularizing a solution.

Following the merger between Peugeot and Fiat-Chrysler the new company (Stellantis) is also headquartered in the Netherlands, though I believe that Fiat-Chrysler already was.

That's a recurring issue for France because they are not business-friendly. It's not even a question of being a tax-heaven (the Netherlands are not) but simply to make everything unduly complex and costly. We've also seen that following Brexit: Banks would move from London to Paris! Err, no they didn't move or moved to Amsterdam...
Dude, what is your definition of "democracy" ? Because your opinion about Poland state seems to be really, really brain-washed. At best.

Democracy as in free election ? Perfect democracy here - one party won twice, other parties lost. You call it a problem ?

Democracy as in free speech ? Dude ! Wake up ! In Poland is so much free speech that it's boarding with anarchy ! Eg. almost decade of opposition internally and internationally literally urges to harm their own country just to retake power - without any gov punishment or something. Mrs. Merkel ex-pet, Tusk, literally calls for purges, without any law procedures ! Freedom bordered with anarchy !

Maybe you are aware judges here act as caste and they do whatever they want. Law is twisted at will here. Do not saying all the time, just when they want it. And that judges are official* opposition of elected party ! Judges ! Acting politically ! You call that despotism ? Or too much freedom ?

Do we have military state like in France ? No. Do we have censorship like in Germany ? No. Do we have problems with making government like Italy ? No. Do our PM resigned because of corruption and next PM promised silence and no more leeks like in GB ? No.

You see ? It's oasis of peace and happiness here compared to rest of the EU ;)

But tell me pls, what you have in mind about that "anti-democracy" in Poland ?

As an Italian, I know that very well. In my country the high school system very much reflects the socio-economic class of the parents and this separation was designed during fascism and left pretty much unchanged.

When I said "European countries with a strong egalitarian bend in their schooling system" I was thinking more about countries like Finland and Scandinavia rather than implying that all European countries are egalitarian.
We are currently living in a very important time in humanity's history that the philosopher Toby Ord calls The Precipice. We likely have a 1 out of 6 chance over the next century to end humanity (all human life is destroyed), so this century we absolutely must decrease the chances of existential threats to humanity or perish. This should be humanity's #1 priority, yet at the moment we spend less on it than we do on ice cream.

This is one of the articles whose message (that great people drive product success) is immediately, blindingly obvious to anyone who interacts with engineers on a day-to-day basis, but seems like some sort of sage insight to management folks who try to divine company performance from slopes and graphs.
