He is not mixing things up. The idea that immediate revoking security access to everything is only way how to do things is definitely a US thing.
Consultation seems to be more like an explicitly defined way to fire an employee (they are entitled to learn why and what has been done to try to keep them). It does not look like it is prohibiting garden leave.
There's a lot of advice on how to handle these situations and a lot of it is good, even when conflicting. It's all situational.

One thought though, for whatever little it may be worth:

>>For me, I think I'd just quit if I was told to lay off people on my team.

That has been my personal emotional reaction many a time. As I spend more time as a manager though, I try to force myself to look harder and harder at what will this course of action actually accomplish? And the self-righteous emotional me hates that the rational conclusion is: it'll only accomplish negative things, i.e now the team that remains has lost your support. Bluntly, it will not "send a message", it will not "change things", it will not "make them realize what they're doing / what they're losing". Literally the only thing it'll do majority of time is make things even crappier for those who remain :-/.

So I would put it in inverse: the hard thing in the moment is to NOT go with your emotional reaction, and consider truly how can you be of best benefit / support / help to the team. Basically, I would say most of the time one quits for personal reasons (whether positive "I can get more money there" or negative "I hate this place and everybody in it"), not for the benefit of others.
There are already loads of work-/job-/cv-related social networks out there (Polywork is one of the more recent examples) ... none of them have the cachet (or staying power) of LinkedIn [so far]

I wish you well in trying to build something new ... but I'm already on too many social networks, and won't be joining any more (I've been deactivating accounts over the past several months because they're either too low traffic, or too hard to keep up with)

I'd actually like to see Microsoft leverage LinkedIn as some kind of universal identity platform - they've got LI, they've got Azure, they've got O365, they've got GitHub[0][1][2] ... why should I have to get a new identity every time I change employers? Unify the whole shebang (albeit with an alias to the new employer, and being locked-out of previous employers' data)

We agree on whether it's acceptable, but let's be honest, any roles I've held in the past (and all security jobs around the world, really) exist only because people have a surprising potential to be absolutely crappy.
What do you think is a better CI system for a project hosted on GitHub?
Pulling tricks needs a new sucker pipeline. But sucker pipelines will dry up as old suckers get burned and money is generally drying up due to

Why is being a celebrity BS? After a few tens of millions (or maybe $100M) dollars money doesn't matter at all, it's all about status, and money is just a tool to achieve it.
Isn’t a hybrid the dirtiest to manufacture? You have batteries AND an ICE.
Totally agree. I have a programming background but don't really program anymore. My Github account has been used for nothing more than submitting issues for projects I use. Any source control I need for other things I do, I use GitLab because of the free private projects and CI integration, but even that's minimal.

That's awesome.

Some things that can be improved:

- The UI is left justified on my mobile browser. It will look better if it is centered.

- The font is too small. Perhaps you could increase font size so users don't have to zoom in.

Also, did you a framework to generate plaintext front-end or is it hand crafted?
What struck me about this announcement was that the CEO states a couple of times that he is accountable for the decision, but doesn't say what form that accountability takes. I try not to be cynical, but I suspect in this case that there will be no actual, real accountability.
This is very common and pretty much the default either directly out of a school with a weak program or after working in industry in a niche that doesn't use what you've learned.

The introduction of MOOCs like edX, Coursera and Udacity were great and most of them offer free auditing of classes. If I were fresh out of school I would take my transcript and go through the classes again in roughly the same order but dive deeper into the subjects that interested me most while perhaps only listening at double speed to subjects I don't find that interesting and don't think will come up in real life.

Paid leave is entirely different. Paid leave is, well, leave. You do not have to show up to the office, unable to do anything.

L1234-5 (which is a very nice number) merely says that you have to pay the employee a compensation if the préavis is not respected, equal to the amount of days the employee would have worked, in addition to everything else (severance package, etc). It gets more complicated in the case of massive layoffs, because the CSE/lawyers get involved, and for a 50+ employee company firing over 10 employees, a plan de sauvegarde de l'emploi is put into place, which lasts multiple months.
These comments are still in context of using the language in a startup. Good luck with finding Ocaml, F# or Scala devs.
Their upgrade strategy is really awful. Kafka can do rolling upgrades, it's one of the few things that has worked reliably well for me in Kafka over the past 6 tears. Pretty much as simple as a broker reboot and setting inter.broker.protocol.version/log.message.format.version correctly.

They made it way harder than it needs to be.
That's the problem - your expenses (salaries, rent, hosting, etc.) are paid in USD.

Meanwhile, your revenue is in ETH.

Even if you can maintain the same volume, your revenue can drop drastically if ETH price drops.

A 100 ETH sale earns you 2.5 ETH. In January, this was worth $7.5k. Now, its worth $3k. Your revenue dropped by over 50% but your expenses are going to stay the same.

I can't see how the economics of businesses like this can work out.
Aside from this, do people think of Coinbase as the Google of crypto-currency?

As in monstrous in size, and where your account, wallet, and coins are not really safe, and perhaps only yours until Coinbase decides otherwise?
Real time monitoring during a live task is certainly a use case I've never thought of.

A very good point.

I remember a piece on programming education research awhile ago. Said education outcomes improved considerably if you constantly bombard students with multiple choice questions.

Administering that through a dashboard would be essential.
Very interesting point. I'm aware of the Microsoft UI Automation interface, which at least on Windows I think does exactly this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_UI_Automation - and most Windows UI test-automation tools depend on this.

I wouldn't touch Python with 10-foot pole for any serious project. People who're used to dynamic languages (e.g., JavaScript) are now starting to see how indispensable static typing is when they try out TypeScript and then never want to go back.
Google engineer claims AI system has developed feelings
Specifics? I’m not saying you’re wrong — different use cases are different use cases — but I just don’t see anything in the last three releases that changed it enough to make it unserviceable for any previously suitable use case.
I thought the "worry less about dying alone" bit was a joke.

One avoids dying alone by living with one's family, among friends (real live ones), within a community (again, real live ones, not internet ones).

Much of the Anglo world's ills (emotional and economic) would be alleviated if its inhabitants were interdependent on extended family and friends (which is natural) rather than faceless corporations and technology (unnatural).
I ported a lot of stuff from Jenkins and CircleCI to GitHub Actions, as well as building an iOS build/release pipeline with Actions, and honestly I don't understand this criticism.

I find Actions to have a maturity far beyond how long it has existed for, with very strong primitives that compose better than anything else I've seen.

GitLab CI always felt to me like it was a minor improvement over Travis, and that they hadn't yet realised that complex CI trends towards general compute orchestration. I found it hard to achieve complex, reliable, and fast pipelines with GitLab CI.

There have been outages, but we didn't find this to be any worse than CircleCI, and was better than our experience running a Jenkins cluster.
So basically Gnome's settings panel.
I wonder what those 'democratic views' are where you live.

Here, there are many distinct views by the many political parties that are part of the democracy and can't really be lumped into one 'view'. The few commonalities between them (here) seem to be around the concept of "bad situations in life shouldn't mean you're screwed forever" and "if we work together when we can, it generally turns out better for everyone". I don't think those concepts (which might also be views) generally dictate the value of success, or describe what that success must be.
I expect the Supreme Court to rule on extremely impactful and controversial government policy that interacts with international law. That’s a huge part of its job.

Whether I think it’s legal is based on what the policy is, whether it was passed into law by Parliament (in this case, there’s no Act of Parliament), what legal experts have said, whether it’s been tested by the courts.

You know, how most sensible people make decisions: they look at the information available and make a decision based on that.
Ask HN: Am I misunderstanding quantum mechanics?
What I've gathered from my limited reading and research is the following:

1. The universe is fundamentally infinite and continuous, both on a macro and micro scale (infinitely large, and infinitely divisible)

2. Observation on a scale currently available to humanity interprets the continuous and infinite as finite and quantifiable - some information is lost in the process. A piece of reality we call an electron is shot at an another one, and we have learned how to observe the displacement of those pieces.

3. Quantum superposition is nothing but a translation of the reality of continuous fields into our quantifiable domain.

4. Measuring collapses the probability fields in a sense that no other way of measuring is available for us other than interpreting the continuous as a quantifiable and losing information in the process.

5. By repeating measurements and mapping the distribution out, we can get a rough estimate of the field that is observable through the interaction that we are using for measuring.

How far off am I?
What are some good resources to read up on to deepen my understanding of what we currently know?

Thanks.
You might want to review the part about how most of the civil rights movement's goals were foiled or rolled back, and someone shot all the major figures, and then Reagan happened and we had another half-century of horrific racism.
GitHub also has free private projects and CI though. Is that the only reason?
Ever think about day to day health? It is not just a life span of 78 vs 80 years. Living in pollution has many other negative effects including biology other than humans.
For the majority of charter/private/business flights this wouldn't be feasible as the vast majority of flights tend to be single pilot ops.
On one hand, I agree with you that on the whole we're a bunch of spoiled crybabies. Totally grant you that.

On the other hand, saying that the majority of the population is grinding in tough physical labour is just not true. Most other jobs are generic office jobs that don't need to be done (just like 80%+ of software engineering jobs don't need to be done).

Most of us are just doing things for money. Are most people working hard? Not usually, because it mostly doesn't matter. Spreadsheets idle in inboxes, meetings lead nowhere and achieve nothing, brown-nosers and family members get promoted into jobs they're incompetent at. And the world continues to spin regardless.
I think they call it: "throwing the baby out with the bath water." Jaw dropping incompetence caused by corporate Woke panic.
Gnome had this from years before.
That's exactly the thing. Don't make it about you! How much of telling employee "this is bullshit, I could't sleep over this" is actually doing for them? Vs absolving yourself of guilt, having them like you, and making you look like the victim you definitely aren't?

Respect and support and empathy and sincerity are the key, always. Deflecting blame and ranting are not long term helpful.
Developer Advocates Are Hiding in Plain Sight
Is this an effort to reduce airline ticket demand?
> Even if it was “you were great, but we are going with someone else at this time”

This is how it is with two out of three people. By the time they pass the filter of their resume and whatnot, two or three people are OK. They can answer basic questions, they act normally, they seem to have been doing the job as they said for a few years. They are also somewhat interchangeable with the person we interviewed before. Then we interview someone else, and maybe they were referred by an internal team member with a recommendation, maybe they are just a standard deviation above who we interviewed in terms of what they know. There's nothing really wrong with the people rejected, it's "you seem to know how to program basic features like two out of three people we interviewed, but we interviewed someone else who has a deep understanding of the language we use".
It all comes down to the mental health stigma. Even hinting at the slightest bit of mental distress can be enough to lose your medical certificate and end your career. It's no wonder that the pilot population would be more susceptible to the consequences of untreated mental illness.
True, and I stated the spectrum is a circle with absolutism or totalitarian being a leader-only political setup. The workers might own the means of production in China but they damned well better not try to act on that thought. Ask jack ma.
I've definitely seen people told there's nothing left for them to do, and their accounts and access immediately turned off. Why would they need access to systems or the office if they have no tasks? Are you saying there's some kind of right they have as an employee to come in and work even if they are told not to and there are no tasks assigned to them?
There is literally no hardware support for 32 bit apps in the latest ARM processors. The die space was used for something more useful.
I've journeyed across time, and everything appears to be really authentic for this period. I had a website with animated gif icons that looked exactly like yours.

This is why newer space startups like Stoke are aiming to produce totally reusable second stages. The goal is commercial airline-like refuel and relaunch.
Marxist here; I wrote a book about this in 2018 after having written essays about it for years. In my book Custom Reality and You, I asserted that "attention is currency," and that it exists in a sort of abstract market (which has gradually become more formalized through the years as social metrics become more standard). Marx also posited money as "the ultimate commodity," and I very much agree with this article.
I'd rather point people to my personal website for that kind of content - don't want to be more beholden than necessary to someone else hosting my stuff
I understand and agree with what you say. It is ""tempered with gratitude" part of the original message I do not grok.
It doesn't have to be a (false) dichotomy though. A 50% reduction in particulate matter and pollutants would still provide significant benefits.
> Now, you take that new token, exchange into new ETH

You can only exchange it back into ETH after the lock period is over. Sure, you can buy ETH from someone else in exchange for this token, but you will pay a premium for that: obviously, people prefer ETH to some token that can be exchanged for ETH in the future and there is not an infinite supply of ETH available to be sold for this token.

So no, you can’t just increase your ETH ad infinitum. At each iteration of the loop, your amount of tokens will decrease until you have none left.

> Programming-related jobs have high rates of skill turnover. Over time, the types of skills required by companies hiring software developers change more rapidly than any other profession.

There's a reason I still strongly prefer candidates with a computer science degree to someone with 9 months at a bootcamp for some roles. New tools, frameworks, programming languages, and libraries constantly enter this industry. I believe knowing the fundamentals and having a deep understanding of how computers work allows you to more quickly pick up new things.

I understand there are curious graduates that come out of bootcamp programs who will dive deep and fill in the gaps and there are universities with subpar computer science departments. I still prefer the latter in general cases.
If there was a waiting list then there would have been no expansion since 1987 at least, when Turkey began negotiation.
Just keep learning! You are young and there is quite a lot to know. Youtube can be a good source. Experience is probably the best teacher.

>> Preliminary evidence suggests the crash of a China Eastern Airlines Corp. jet in March may be the latest such tragedy, a person familiar with the investigation said.

What is the preliminary evidence? For this type of conclusion I would think the first and last bit of evidence would be the control inputs as recorded by the black box. Supporting evidence should be on the voice recording.

What is this "preliminary evidence"?
Said Central Bank was famously killed once, for equally good reasons, in our country's history. We've quite literally built in "endless growth" imto the fundamental architecture of our monetary system, which breaks the fractal self-similarity between the different levels of abstraction of an ideal State.

(Given nature's love of pattern reuse, finance on micro ()individual), should resemble finance slightly more macro (family), dhould resemble finance even more macro, (industry, state, nation))

Whereas what we have now is some horrible abomination where at the top-end, we get these debt fueled monstrosities that continually push asset prices into more and more ludicrous places where barrier to entry gets higher and higher, and the requisite concentrations of resources one must accrue before the power laws start kicking in relegates a greater and greater portion of the population to basically treading water in the hopes less than a single percent of it makes good capital allocation decisions.

Call me a contrarian nut if you want, but something is completely off. I accept unintuitive things can exist, but modern economic theory requires too mich fairy dust (Dude, trust us) to keep churning along for my liking.

Gods yes! I deleted my account years ago because I didn't like their shady practices, and they had nothing to offer me anyway.

Since I become "established", so to say, I've gotten all my jobs through personal contacts. What would be of interest to me however, would be a place where:

* (A bit like HN) where we can have focused discussions on technological developments
* I can connect with other people I value the opinions of, can learn from, share my knowledge / experiences with
* Place we can crowd-source things like this very post
* Find events and keep up with what's happening in my field

Importantly though — and I can't stress this enough: _No sales or marketing people_. Basically, a place for professionals in their field who actually do the work. I understand that sales and marketing people can contribute to the success of a business, I'm just saying I don't care and don't want them on the platform.
Not possible. In an emergency situation that requires rapid descent, the last thing you'd want is to require both pilots to be on the controls.
May I ask where you are from? My blood is Scottish and I grew up in the North of England and I can tell you that in the late 90s there was a lot of talk of a Northern Assembly to better represent that end of the country versus Westminster, never mind Scottish parliament or independence.

When I used to travel to London (where I now reside) regularly as a child, I was always bemused by how much of a bubble there was around the South East, in terms of people's consciousness, perspective and blunt media focus. There really was - and still moreso is - a curious myopia for anything North of Watford.

I've not lived up North for over twenty years, but I'm pretty sure the sentiment up there's not gotten any weaker... .
I think we can agree that cryptocurrencies are a real thing that exist.

This article is about the usual options/forex/cryptocurrency brokerage scam, where a fake brokerage takes your money to trade on their fake trading platform.

I expect some European countries like Spain to firmly oppose them joining the European Union, to send a message to inner regions that may also want independence.

This idea that Scotland is going to vote for independence from the UK and straight into Europe is far fetched.
