So.. Standard? or Off? Ever since this has been announced, I understand how it works, but the browser does not communicate at all which setting level it maps to, or if I even need ETP on at all and it's just always on.
I'm also a layman, though one of my degrees is in economics, which tbh isn't that helpful here beyond understanding the fundamentals.

My current working model is that there are multiple simultaneous effects, mostly separable but interrelated. In order of decreasing acuteness:

a) asset bubble popping due to imminent rate increases. Crypto the obvious candidate for a correction that IMO was predictable? Future of the industry unpredictable (by me)

b) Tech stock correction and hiring freeze, due to skyrocketing value growth and some overextension during the pandemic. This is a good thing, and a healthy pullback on very recent overestimate of value gains. Fundamentals largely unaffected

c) More secular pullback of tech value into a lower equilibrium. High-growth stocks do well in historically low-rate environment, that we're potentially exiting

d) General recession expected. Marginal tech startups wiped out, bigtech generally still a great place to get paid a ton and buy the market while it's low

I'd love to hear if anyone has anyone else has any disagreements with my working model! I'm far from an expert, but using it for my own decision-making. Eg, I just quit my job, but I was planning to go back to bigtech so I'm not especially worried (plus I have tons of savings and frankly don't care about $ that much). OTOH, I'm not taking much time off, because I expect hiring and possibly salaries to start tightening even in bigtech.
Germany is essentially the 'why not both' girl [1]. No worries, those 100B Euros will come right out of additional taxes.

I want to point out that if we wouldn't get involved in foreign wars, we would not need that either. Last time we had a massive uptick of taxes for military spending (in the 1910s), we built a fleet to battle the British Navy (and we're still paying those taxes today).

Not to mention that when you click to maximize the window it only increases height.... so frustrating.
Sure the physics hasn't changed but there is a huge difference between 1970 and now in how both ICEs and electric motors are constructed. Modern chemical science and engineering processes have made a huge increase in our ability to get more results within given constraints. Go crack open an ancient power tool or appliance if you don't believe me.
Because Microsoft has had a history of caring about privacy?

I'd expect something like this from Apple with Safari, but not Microsoft. M$ can't even give its own developer base privacy by allowing all telemetry to be disabled.
Splitting in any other way than 50:50 would change the power dynamic. The richer would have some leverage over the poor one.

The poor one would would obviously see this as unfair.

I suggest retrying the experiment with non-divisible outcomes. For example couches, TVs and so on.

You have to control for starvation though. Don't go asking millenials to sign off on someone else getting their own house or similar outcomes they have been primed to envy.

I would be mildly interested in the results then.
The referendum was justified as once in a generation, and this phrase was repeated ad nauseam, and this deal was partly why the referendum happened. It wasn't said "once in a generation unless there's a big change", big changes happen in countries all the time, so by demanding a referendum now the rules are being changed.

The next generation will have a chance to vote on this, and if they think independence from the EU is a big deal, they can vote accordingly.

This is also (IIRC) how one recovers from a stall, so it could be a “malign” command, a best-effort at fixing a bigger problem, or anything in between.
There are different rules if you're dismissing a single employee vs making multiple employees redundant.
(1) seems incorrect. Large scale cosmology wrestles with the observational or physical bounds of the universe and what that means. Small scale goes granular due to the uncertainty principle. (Planck length).

The others seem to run together. In general, classical modeling works with problems appearing at the very large (relativity) and very small (quantum mechanics). At the very small, the act of observing something influences it’s future behaviour (or, that behaviour becomes unpredictable). But the overall behaviour is statistical and thus predictable (quantum effects like diffraction or tunneling).

Check out Brian cox, Timothy ferris, hawking or other science popularizers.
Cookies were invented at Netscape like 25 years ago, nobody considered the current situation.
Rust has a cool type system, but I think you give it much more credit, like it doesn’t have dependent types where the implementation can often be filled in literally.

Other than checking mutability and nullness, I really don’t think that Rust would be that much ahead compared to even an “older” language like Java.

Also, java now has ADTs so “exhaustive checks” are available there as well.
It’s the exact same in the US. Most companies pay a decent severance that is tied to tenure and is meant to avoid lawsuits. If you resign and they don’t want you to stay for 2 weeks then they will still pay you.

You’re definitely right that metrics are often used as post-hoc justification of decisions already made.

An example of actual dashboard culture is AWS’s operational metrics meetings. The construction of the dashboards themselves is scrutinized just as much as any latency or availability metric (may God have mercy on your soul if use a pie chart or display the median of metrics without justification). And it’s actually useful for surfacing issues and knowledge sharing. The frequent cadence can be a big cause if stress though.

I don't have to imagine them because I see them while working for me or while talking to my friends who do the job. They go from coffee to coffee, work hard 6 hours for a day then take 2 days break, take 4 hour lunch breaks, say they are gonna come then come 2 days later, and many other stories. Now ALL of them hiked the prices 2x to 3x no matter the craft because of course THEIR material also "dramatically rose in price". Plumber, painter, glassworker, woodworker, electrician, you name it. Some things actually rose in price like steel or wood, but some rose only 20-30% and of course they double the price of work after the price of material "doubles".

Thank you! I did try googling and I thought i got it right (against my better judgement), but obviously not.
The weird thing about that is, at least in my experience, passengers tend to idolize the pilot. I half expect the pilot sees passengers not as cattle, but as subjects ;-).
You can but its fairly flimsy and requires a reboot for a lot of them to take effect / reflect reality. Discoverability is a whole other can of worms to figure out what to set.
The Shuttle was amazingly effective. It succeeded in most of its original mission objectives. It conducted hundreds of scientific missions, launched and repaired Hubble, and built the ISS (originally Freedom).

The "cost" of Shuttle launches was calculated as NASA's entire manned spaceflight budget divided by the number of scheduled launches. They paid salaried staff all year no matter how many launches happened. That cost was trending downward as the number of launches increased prior to the Challenger disaster. After return to flight after Challenger NASA cut the launch schedule but had to pay the same infrastructure costs so Shuttle flights got more "expensive".
> Most people are just too prone to scam ads and such. It's really concerning.

That really isn’t true. Most people are fairly resistant to scam ads, or ask for and get good advice. But the scam ads are relentless and fast a wide net, they only need to catch a few victims to be profitable.

But then I had to talk my parents out of amway when I was a teenager. A lot of people are easily deluded by a bit of hope backed up by personal connections. That was really powerful stuff, I only hope all of that has moved to much easier to resist scam ads.
Presumably they wanted the distance from layoffs to communicating exactly who was laid off to be as small as possible and that required more work than simply freezing hiring and rescinding offers. They were likely discussed in parallel and announced as quickly as possible.
Does that for extensions like Dark Reader Pro too?

Not really. If you could be sued for putting back a shopping cart the wrong way, no one would put them back at all, and everyone would understand why.
Israel also had a similar arrangement which collapsed after it was found to break Israeli law. Apparently some journalists tried to track down the refugees involved in that scheme some years later and found barely a handful had remained in the country.

My suspicion is this is just a short term attempt to boost the PMs popularity among the segment of his support base who think mistreatment of refugees and immigrants is a good thing. It's not a serious attempt to change substantive policy.
Dirty money in the tens/hundreds of billions doesn't infer interference? Including sizeable donations to the Conservative party?

What do you have in mind for "real accountability?"

He could've deflected responsibility or hid behind a proxy, which happens all the time. Now, he gets more judgment good/bad directed at him from shareholders, the board, and customers.
Sure, for some people. But I was hoping the Sam Bankman-Fried had higher aspirations like building a product and team he could be proud of. I don't think celebrity status is good for you. It's very unnatural to be surrounded by yes men and people that just want to use for your money or status.
My personal biggest gripe: music being played in-between points in tennis and volleyball matches (and I'm sure other sports, but I used to watch those). It's not just that the type of music being played offends my sensibilities, but the entire idea that people can't even be trusted to have ten seconds to themselves deeply saddens me.

For me, it's one of the reasons why I no longer go to such events.
I don't think it is actually about population drain or anything like that. I'll try to relate this to ČR but the metaphor isn't perfect, so bear with me. The regions with the lowest GDP per capita are apparently Karlovy Vary, Ústí nad Labem and Olomouc[0]. It's not too bad to get to either Prague or Brno from those regions' major population centres there currently, but let's say there's a plan to revitalize the republic with a new trans-country high-speed rail link[1] including a few connections to Karlovy Vary, Ústí and Olomouc. It's expensive but it's deemed to be worth it because everyone will benefit from the improved rail network. Over time some of the planned connections are cut, and eventually the project is stripped down to a nice high-speed line which takes you from Vienna through Brno to Prague in 45 minutes and onward to Berlin. That's fabulous for residents of Brno and Prague (and I guess Pardubice or wherever it stops off on the way), but where does that leave the guys in Karlovy Vary, Ústi and Olomouc? One of the main benefits was that they'd get direct improvements to their network, and that's gone. It's nice that after they get to Prague they could hop on a Šinkansén[2] to Brno or Berlin and get there quickly, but it's not quite the same.

There's an additional point with HS2 - one of it's main benefits was to alleviate pressure on the main north/south routes, opening them up to more regional services and an additional "northern powerhouse rail" to link some of the cities in Northern England. But the HS2 project is slowly being eroded and chipped away at to the point that it is becoming solely a "get to London faster" project without some of the improvements that alleviate the pressure on these important rail corridors. Additionally the Northern Powerhouse rail (plus things like the Leeds Tram/Light Rail) looks like it's for the chop too. So the North of England is kinda getting shafted here and I feel for them.

Going a bit further north, the benefits to Scotland probably weren't huge to begin with. Going from Edinburgh-London quicker is nice for the people who do that and shaving a 45 minutes off is cool but if it was actually extended to Scotland that would've been a much bigger deal, or maybe an entirely separate high-speed corridor for the very well trafficked Glasgow-Edinburgh route.

You can't solve a problem if no one is willing to vocalize and point out that there is one. Societal meta-awareness is a necessary pre-condition of change.

To be honest, I'm surprised there are not more Pilot death-by-suicides seeing as being able to fly is one of the most tightly and mercilessly regulated past times. Nevermind being able to make a living off it. For those for whom the wings are life, I can totally understand how having that jeopardized by a regulatory apparatus, and having the industrial apparatus that makes your living possible be hell bent on minimizing the number of you, could lead to a psychologically fraught population of specialists.

What'd be interesting is a study of whether the occupation has a markedly higher rate than say... Shipping/sailing, bus driving, or train operation. I just wonder if there may be a sub-correlation there with habitually being the Jesus Nut for massive numbers of people on a regular basis.
No, it describes parts of reality quite well. That’s part of its problem.
1. The universe is fundamentally infinite and continuous, both on a macro and micro scale (infinitely large, and infinitely divisible)

My understanding is that neither of these things is definitely known to be true, and that there is considerable debate around both points. But IANAP...
Despite the image that British media have carefully crafted, Brussels (and Frankfurt?) are far more democratic and competent governments than Westminster. It is only vague because British government has had a deliberate policy of keeping that so (you should read some memoirs of other-EU diplomats on the issue). Convolution of governing is such a British tradition, that unfortunately you believe it is both everywhere and the particular strain present in Westminster is the least worst of all.

Also: it used to be ok-ish to have all settings in one place when apps were rather simple and few. Now it's super annoying to be in an app, want to change something, go to settings, scroll forever to find the app settings and make the change.

>"In the few exceptions where England voted Tory but got Labour because of Scottish votes, how was that fair on England?"

You can always say that if one region that voted for the winning party in a close election hadn't, the outcome would have been different. I don't understand how that's unfair, it's inherent in the arithmetic of majoritarian democracy. You could say the same thing about London or the northwest, which both err leftwards. Unless you're starting off with the idea that Scotland and England are fundamentally different units? Which begs the question.
Username checks out. I laughed so hard and I recognize myself in the description. Just an awesome comment.
My theory.
There was substantial DeFI loans being taken out to invest in Luna/UST. When UST de-pegged, you had these DeFI loans get margin called putting further pressure. This then caused a bank run with significant sell pressure. This caused roughly 40Billion of assets lost. Some exchanges and DeFI lending platforms had user funds either through loans or by the exchange itself invested into UST/Luna and suffered losses. This caused a broader bank-run to many interest baring platforms out of fear. Celcius just recently had a bank-run leading to a liquidity crises and pausing withdrawals. Celcius started selling it's assets to cover withdrawal pressure, further pushing the price down. Binance paused withdrawls for a bit further causing fear and continuing the bank run, leading to sell pressure.

Personally, there's many Crytpo platforms which do not have enough funds to cover user deposits. As the bank run continues fraud will be exposed and continue driving more sell pressure, in a positive feedback loop. By the end of this large players who survive will come out much stronger.
However, the Old School financial system has had hundreds of years of regulations aimed at making it more difficult to scam people.

Crypto is a fantastic technology for people who want to rid themselves of those regulations, so that they can repeat all those scams that were made impossible for banks or other financial companies.

For instance, when Celsius offers interest rates of 18%, people should understand that something is wrong. My understanding is that regulators had started making demands, but it seems clear that collateral requirements for lending had dramatically underestmated the currency risk.

This is the Morgage Backed Securities scandal of today. If it is too good to be true, it is not true.
Interesting guide.

I learned OS X on an old PCI PowerMac that a client gave to me in exchange for some unpaid bills. It's 20 years ago now, so I am not 100% sure but I think it was a 7600. Over the next few years, it got transformed, incrementally and with inexpensive 2nd-hand parts:

CPU: 200Mz PowerPC 604 → 333MHz G3

RAM: 32MB → 768 MB

HDD: 2GB SCSI → 40GB EIDE

Graphics: onboard unaccelerated framebuffer → PCI ATI Radeon

Ports: ADB + SCSI → USB 2 + FireWire

All gradual, and it remained working and usable throughout.

It started out with MacOS 7.6 or so, and ended up on 10.2 "Jaguar", while still able to run the same apps.

An astonishingly upgradable computer, and the OS was made possible at all by XPostFacto.
There's nothing in the publicly-available flight data to suggest a stall. The flight was at cruising altitude when the descent started.

And yet they _did_ blame the individual, by saying "the individual responsible for this regrettable act is no longer with the company." This is why I'm surprised they hired him.

My surprise that they hired him has nothing to do with whether or not _I_ think they should have hired him. It has everything to do with the fact that they publicly blamed the individual, and that it was Microsoft. I would expect their hiring decision to be informed by whatever corporate higher-ups caused them to publicly blame the individual.
> Minimum of 14 weeks of severance plus an additional 2 weeks for every year of employment beyond 1 year.

This feels super generous to me. Is it standard par for growing companies and Silicon Valley?

My IDE does that for me, you are looking at the wrong tree.
No for two reasons:

- it might still violate the Human Rights Act

- it’s still a matter for debate whether Rwanda is safe for refugees

Just reading one Act isn’t enough because real life is complicated.
> If you need to completely revoke someone's account overnight to prevent adverse impact, you designed your "access matrix" incorrectly.

This doesn't make any sense to me, and is in fact exactly how it should work.

So you're telling me that every time, say, a CS rep needs to access some sensitive customer information (which is almost every single call), you think they should need to go through some password approval process? Security procedures that are so cumbersome to getting work done get bypassed.

The whole point of SSO systems is that you can immediately revoke access to any and all systems at once by just changing one setting.
A tale as old as time: don't invest what you aren't willing to lose 100% of. People never learn that lesson. From cryptocurrency, to stocks, to gambling (not those trash slot machines though - those solely exist to defraud you).
macOS settings have been instant-apply since at least the first OS X. Sometimes it’s annoying but for many settings it’s the only model that makes sense (like, if you have a setting controlling which WiFi network the computer is connected to, how can you delayed-apply that?).
Years of learning the above are why I now leave all decisions to PHBs. They say they know nothing, but are then willing to decide everything. So I just do what they say. Products take longer to deliver and are less what the customer wanted and have zero innovation, BUT the PHBs seem to have the influence to keep the gravy line open longer than me.

(I can’t decide whether to tag this satire or not)
> Why not just get ahead of that using a cheap, time-tested, and well-proven strategy that makes your position even stronger?

The cheap, time-tested way is just busting the union. I've yet to hear any examples of unions working like you propose in the US, but there's as many examples as you could want for companies preventing unions from existing.
> Tell them that you are upset. Tell them that you haven't slept.

Dunno. I find it pretty bad when managers talk about their difficulties when e.g. firing people. It's about them, not about you. I agree about the part about fake smiles.
Agenda or not, the whole point of the chart is to show that row with 132 deaths as a solid statistic. At the bottom of the same chart: "* Unconfirmed" in small print. Classic.
Invalid files as in it creates PDF, but it is not valid PDF and it will fail to open. When trying to scan into TIFF, it will crash.

It is pretty much device specific; an HP MFP at home works fine. The Samsung app was an workaround, but it was pretty obvious that nobody is going to fix Image Capture.

Firing someone is the result of poor performance or unacceptable behaviour.

In many jurisdictions (not in the US I suppose), before firing someone for poor performance they must be told that their performance is inadequate and be given a chance to improve.

Bottom line, in general being fired is fully on the person being fired so no need to sugar-coat or to feel bad.
