Hobby Lobby is also an awful company... and is by no means "buying local".
I think the profession is too new for the research data to really make sense. The sample size of devs with 20y of experience can't be comparable to that of the devs with 2y experiencie. I think the statistics from the paper stop making sense with the higher ages.

It seems to me that there is another concern entailed by this topic: climate change, and along this dimension: the use of fertilizers in the context of farming methods which release, instead of capture, carbon. What's emerging in that space is regenerative agriculture, aka no-till agriculture. Perhaps it's the case that the fertilizer in play is not really necessary?

> They can't build military tech because of sanctions.

Russia is ahead of the west both in ballistics & air defense using mostly off the shelf consumer chips that are very easy to smuggle in via 3rd parties.

> Starting to use 1950s and 1960s tanks.

Retrofitted tanks that get the job done. These are being sent to the rear for policing (occupying) operations as well as given to the Donbas separatists.

> Renault gave away 68% of car manufacturer Avtovaz to the state

Pretty sure that was on Renaults own volition. The Chinese are more than glad to take up the slack.
But that doesn't support the thesis that the KKK would be less dangerous if they were allowed to burn crosses on every lawn and, say, given a free hour on television every day. We can know what these groups are, who their members are and what they believe while also limiting their ability to spread those harmful beliefs.
Why stop at 100M? Why not 50M? Why not 10M? Why not 250k?

Trying to control the amount of wealth one "should" have is misguided. We should have ways to limit the amount of power that can be concentrated. If we did that, we would have a better shot at having a more equitable society: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31317641

There is obviously an exact upper dollar amount. You described it yourself: $1 billion.

Do you think restricting the amount of money people can make and therefore pay taxes on is a good way to pay for universal basic income? Elon Musk will famously pay something like $12 billion this year. What’s the best way to sustain welfare programs that you like without a large tax base?

I ordered a 6-row Model X approx 24 months ago - still waiting - and ordered a Model Y 7-seater in ~Feb this year and got it a month or two ago. It's awesome.

I can't really comprehend how the Model X can be ~$50k superior to a Model Y 7 Seater.
Hmm. My initial reaction was a temptation to write insults about the people who created this rule. But it turns out to be in response to cyberbullying, which has driven some people to suicide. (Japan is a "face" culture, which may make cyberbullying worse.)

So now I'm conflicted. I'm in favor of free speech, but I'm absolutely not in favor of bullying.

But this isn't the clearly stupid idea that I thought it was.
By current COIN marketcap he is barely a billionaire. I figure by the end of the month and another rate hike, he will no longer qualify as a billionaire.
>> "...people who disagree with my opinion are ..."

No, merely pointing out how those shibboleths are used. Demagogic and populist politicians of all stripes consistently oversimplify and divert blame for their followers problems, and do it consistently to get them to vote against their own best interests.

We have an advanced technological society of vast scale and complexity. Without very substantial continual investment and reinvestment in infrastructure, standards, management, governance, defense, R&D, and science, it literally would not continue to work. If you think not, provide one counterexample of a similarly advanced and complex society that actually worked in your ungoverned libertarian fantasy.

>>It is also always tempting and/or an organizational tendency to oversell increasingly more complex solutions. With intellectually ambitious people coming in to make a living out of managing the bureaucracy and ride the inefficiencies they helped create.

Yup, there are always some fringe people and professional scammers who will attempt to overcomplicate things to their own advantage.

Any sufficiently scaled-up organization or process will have inefficiencies, and even microscopic percentages of budgetary waste can look like high nominal numbers when the overall amount is in the trillions. Squawking about the waste in this way is an example of such oversimplifying demagoguery, so thank you for providing an example ("see, govt has big people making inefficiency for themselves, so let's eliminate govt').

I was lucky enough to work with Randy at Microsoft, an incredible developer all around.

Strangely enough for the majority of the time we were working with him, none of us knew he was a programming legend. I think eventually someone was Googling team member names and realized who we had in our midst!

You have to pick your battles and fact is, the American public wants to stop Russian atrocities in Ukraine. They don't want to do anything about Yemen or Syria. I'm sure many books have been written about how and why people get involved to help strangers.
This is an active topic in the Russian community: which countries are the most Russia-friendly. In general, the countries the closest to Russia and most likely to be invaded next are the most hostile (Baltics, Romania etc.). However, the countries further away care less, and in non-Western countries practically nobody cares. You will be just labeled "white" an that's all.

A wealth tax wouldn't prevent the Gates Foundation from existing, it would encourage it -- instead of keeping personal wealth that's going to be taxed, the would-be billionaire can set up a charitable foundation like the Gates Foundation to spend the money.

Since the charity is run by a board and bound to abide by its charter, it's not the same thing as the person controlling the wealth himself. The Gates Foundation is not going to buy Bill Gates a private island with a $100M super yacht to get there.
expensive to build, but less desirable for anyone (but parking) so there's no incentive to build much. It will definitely be more expensive than a warehouse 45 minutes away - even in the most expensive cities (where they do build basements to the extent that they can before they hit subways and whatever).

> Also, their returns process is painless. I thought I’d support local workers and had been shopping at Hobby Lobby instead of using Amazon. For my trouble, when I tried to return an airbrush that didn’t suit my needs (I used it once) they treated me like a criminal, it was a whole production.

I had the same experience. I ordered a $70 worth of cleaning supplies directly from the manufacturer, thinking I'd support the brand and cut out the middle man. My package was stolen (box opened and left right there) so we contacted the seller and told them the situation and they said they can't do anything about it, even with a police report. Amazon would have refunded it immediately. Half the time when I return something they even let me keep the item and donate it rather than dealing with the return.

I want to support smaller online retailers but not so bad that I'm okay with getting ripped off with no recourse every once in a while.
In that case we will need to decouple money from power, somehow.

Starting by no longer equating giving money to politicians as an exercise in free speech would be as good a place as any to start.

Explaining why maintenance is necessary time and time again (tech evolves fast) is soul-crushing and quite frankly rather demeaning. I need x amount of hours for maintenance work every sprint, or the codebase will slowly become outdated and undesirable to work with. Again, tech evolves and changes rapidly, open source packages die quite often. Maintainers abandon their packages (my PO likely has no idea that we rely on free open source software to ship features), there are security issues with using abandoned packages… To sum up: when I see issues, I want to fix them. If I have to go through a corp process and ask for time to fix the issues… I sort of tend to lose the apetite/mood. This right here is the core issue.

The government is going to take all that new tax money from the billionaires and do what with it? Do you believe the government can efficiently manage the tax revenue to help the poor?. SF gov spends $60k/year per tent for the homeless [1] ..that's called a mismanagement of tax revenue (and probably massive corruption).

> over some computer hacking and internet trolling?

No, no, "some computer hacking" (because who would worry about not being able to watch funny cat videos for a while? it's not like people do anything important using computers...) won't do much. But the next Stuxnet targeted at Russian infrastructure could well spell the end of us all. Honestly, I'd be quite content in that situation - witnessing, for however short before dying to radiation, the literal end of history (instead of the pseudo-one from the '90s) could be strangely rewarding.
Do you feel random government employees would be more productive and knowledgeable than the owners of the business whose shares were taken away by this scheme? Do you feel good businesses would continue to be good when handled by bureaucrats? Bonus points for the name of a bureaucracy that has done this kind of thing well.

If you can get a job offer from a EU company, the EU blue card scheme means you'll get a residence permit (visas are for tourists), and it doesn't strictly need a college degree but 3 years of experience[1].

But considering it feels like the world's economy is about to enter a new period of hurt (I think they're still looking for IT people?), maybe going to university now is not a bad idea, in the hopes that when you finish it in a few years, the world will be on its way to some sort of recovery.

If this were the 23rd of February and the war hadn't happened, I'd say if you have the skills/experience, apply to companies in e.g. Germany, they were seemingly so desperate for IT people that anyone competent could get a contract, and the visa sponsorship (that's been made less bureaucratic).

IMO, contact recruitment agencies in Europe and see if the agent's got the hots for you, they should know the market, and if they think you're qualified for a job, they'll be really keen to talk to you, because they want to place you and earn that commission. If they're not that keen, it's either the market or your qualifications, maybe they'll give you a straight answer.

Bad diplomacy in recent times has the same roots - a lot of people stopped accepting balanced views. They think that solely their own opinion is correct, and they start calling names (racist, sexist, troll, etc), downvoting whenever someone expresses a different point of view. Being good diplomat requires very mature and balanced behavior, which a lot of modern politicians lack.
Sometimes response critical VMs are pinned to the cores at the hypervisor level, and intel's chips support independent (frequency) scaling of CPU cores for some time.

In that scenario, mixed loads won't help. You'll have at least one pinned core, and it can scale relative to the VMs load (considering you also pin hypervisor cores, etc). So, it's possible to hit that pinned core and execute the same timing attack.

I know it's a niche scenario, but it's not an impossible or implausible one. Another possibility is the servers which fill critical roles, but they're idle or in a constant low-load state to have headspace for high loads. Again, attacking these servers are plausible. Considering these servers are not open to internet most of the time, we're bordering on corporate espionage, but it's not the subject here.
Yeah, its not really stricter but its different / complementary. Together Facebook Container and Total Cookie will stop more cookies.
Why do you prefer the new UI? I can make a list of reasons why it's bad. The only reason I can see why anyone would prefer it is because it looks "cleaner", but that cleanness is artificial and gets in the way when trying to parse and use the software.

A good UI designer makes buttons look like buttons so our brain can quickly recognize them as such, without mistaking them for something else. A good designer has the window title in the same place no matter the application, so we know where to look before we even look. A good designer gives us a place to reliably perform common actions such as dragging the window.

We use our computers daily, and even imperceptible improvements to cognitive load and the amount of time it takes to perform actions make a difference over time. When I use my 2009 iMac running Snow Leaoprd, I perceive a reduction in friction compared to the latest macOS versions, and even compared to Catalina, which I use as my primary OS.
My bet is that you could write all of your passwords on your front door and still not be victimized in any meaningful way. But, in many/most cases, it's cheaper to thwart the attack than to analyze if it can be used to exploit your systems.
This is, I believe, one of the downsides of empiricism and the fixation on citation rather than observation and reason. The idea that a whole profession came to reject the idea that infants are able to feel pain is astonishing, especially considering anyone who has ever taken care of infants knows that these little human beings react to things which are known to be painful. Babies feeling pain is something that should be self-evident, shouldn't it? It may not be empirically evident, but decisions can still be made without such metrics.

Don't get me wrong, empiricism and citation is valuable. However, a myopic focus on it enables some very twisted conclusions.
A wealth tax wouldn't change that. No billionaire is going to sit around and watch his $1B fortune be whittled away in 5 years by a 20% tax. Instead he's going to divest -- he'll put the money into other companies or charitable foundations.
Right.. which is why it is running at a net loss?

In addition to the drawbacks outlined in other responses, human living situations are too unpredictable to make that kind of arrangement desirable. Inevitably, there will be a plumbing issue because someone left a bath running, or a medical emergency causes unforeseen traffic challenges, or a fire breaks out.

The more delivery productivity you stack on top of this infrastructure, the bigger the impact from an unforeseen issue... and humans can introduce a lot of unforeseen issues.

So says someone on the Internet. We can make whatever claims we want if we don't have to back them up. That's the point of the JWST: gather evidence to back up claims.
well, yes. if you’re an NSA-level actor your AES implementation hasn’t been `AES_encode(key, input)`, but `AES_encode(key, input, random)`. you then XOR the randomness into the input, do all your (modified) AES operations, and then XOR the randomness out [1]. the modified AES operations take about double the area/power because your “input” is effectively twice as long as it used to be, but there’s now next to zero correlation between input/key and power use.

like most things, i expect the reason they’re not adopted for consumer devices is because they use notably more power/area/are slower.

You're not far behind, if at all, from what your peers are. Moreover, your self consciousness - though it may cause you a lot of pain, is a good sign.

Don't go for a LV3 support role (or anything similar). Look for grad schemes - you're (going to be) a graduate!

P.S. Please don't sweat at being shit at data structures and algorithms. The only reason I can write a linked list is because I had to know how drivers work in the NT kernel. I've only ever used hashmaps once in all of my projects and time in the industry.

That doesn't seem right. This discussion (as I understand it) is NOT about having a full time employee with no access.

It is when somebody is explicitly fired and laid off (as is the case in Coinbase, and all the examples I believe we've been discussing in this thread).

They DO know what their status is, it's not ambiguous. Essentially it is: "Hi; You've been laid off; your services are no longer required; we will continue paying you for the remainder of your contractual notice period / two weeks; you'll get whatever package is due to you; please go home and ensure you take all of your materials with you."

This is completely unrelated to any notion of effectively dis-empowering an active employee or keeping them in the dark.
