> The security model in Wayland seems to keep the application largely isolated from its environment.

I really don't see what good that is when considered in the greater context of the Linux desktop paradigm, wherein any application running under your user almost certainly has write access to your entire $HOME, including the ability to tamper with your shell configuration, edit your $PATH, and do all manner of nasty subversive shit. To get any real security benefit from Wayland over X, you'd have to abandon the entire Linux desktop paradigm and use a completely new ecosystem as different from the traditional linux desktop as Android is.

If you just use Wayland as a drop-in replacement for X (as GNOME/Wayland and KDE/Wayland are essentially doing), you're still screwed six ways to Sunday.
This is how it works in a free market economy. The incumbent (oil and gas) is directly state sponsored in the US.

Probably the most succinct unintentional definition of poor discoverability in a UI I have seen.
That's an element. These are compounds. There are a lot more compounds than elements, and it's a lot easier to find one you can sub in to do the same thing.

(yes, the lead in gasoline was part of a particular molecule, too—which just proves my point, if we'd outlawed the specific molecule/compound that would have opened the door to finding other technically-different ones that still included lead—but you can't exactly outlaw carbon, so that approach won't work this time)
Well that certainly sums up my impression of most application/desktop UIs I've come across in the last few years.
That is not the only option. For example, we could expand nuclear power greatly, akin to France, to make electricity cheaper.
The process by which you create a bubble is when you create mechanisms to ship risk as far away from the people who are knowledgeable about it as possible.

The core might all be completely self-deluded or intentional scammers, but the second-degree people who invested/loaned to them intended to some degree to take a bit less risk than being directly involved in the scam, the third-degree people who rely on the second-degree people thought they were allowing a little innovation instead of missing out by playing it too safe, the fourth-degree people aren't even aware that they're invested in the core scam or delusion at all, and make fun of it online. There's a fifth-degree of people who have no idea that whether they eat depends on the scam (because the fourth-degree was a municipal bond issue, the city is now drowning in liabilities, so they had to cut food banks.)

edit: The most recent crypto peak was largely fueled by a ton of normies who put their retirements into something that has gone down somewhere between 40% and 70% in value since they bought it. Other people depend on those people.

> So it allows for easy physical maintenance trips, a second off-site backup (weather, rioting, looting, earthquake, etc) unlikely to take-out both.

> I also think South American countries are far more likely to descend into rioting, violent takovers, coups by armies/etc, than any place in North America.

North America is constantly hit by various disasters, from earthquakes along the ring of fire to hurricans on the south and east coasts, to ridiculous cold weather in the continents. For more manmade disasters, George Floyd aftermath and Jan 6th 2021 would tend to disagree.

Switzerland would be a good place for an archive. Connected, stable, neutral
That stands to reason. On the other hand, maybe demand for housing is not the bottleneck preventing construction, so demand can be lowered without expecting a commensurate loss of supply.
Insubordination is refusal to obey a direct order, and is grounds for instant dismissal (at least where I live - the UK). What direct order did these guys disobey?

I think in the USA insubordination is neither here nor there, because US employers can dismiss people just because they don't like them.
Not hard to guess in many cases -- especially if you can find other people's email addresses from the same company, since they are often created formulaically. E.g. first.last@company.com or <firstinitial><lastname>@company.com
That's a bit different than putting it in the wheel. It will not work with tools for vendoring, caching, or mirroring dependencies. It will also stop working if the separate place you get the binaries from breaks or runs out of money or purges that specific version from their site.
> "We don't have metrics telling us users would pay for a more satisfying checkbox."

This can become a real problem in game development these days, especially in the mobile/F2P world.

A focus on analytics can lead to ignoring something that should be obvious but can't be backed up by data - e.g. 'the weapons don't feel fun'
Proper channels are there in a healthy company but often do not work.
The biggest disappointment is that the “unchecked” state to trigger the checkbox is a low-contrast circle with tiny “READ” text inside it. Poor discoverability, poor accessibility, very un-satisfying.

I get the tunnels.

They are an order of magnitude cheaper (or more) even if they are tiny and single file. You could build 10 of them for the same cost as a regular tunnel and you could do it in less time. Makes sense to me.

I do NOT get the cars.

Self-driving does not work reliably enough today and likely wont for a long time. The Model X is expensive too. Why not some sort of simple rail transport? Maybe cars are cheaper in bulk and easier maintenance? Why not fit them with some kind of guide rail then? You just can't have people driving these things. It's nuts.
"or make the bar of performance set by the industry"

Can you define that bar? That's the problem - there aren't any solid definitions without a contract, and it varies by company. The company can screw over people who are actually meeting the bar by simply saying the bar is higher than it actually is.
> I primarily wanted to highlight that the people quipping about "there's no far left in the US" or "the far left in the US is the mainstream left in Europe" are far left hence why they don't see much to the left of them in the US.

Except most of the 3/4 of a billion people do. It's not a bell curve at all. Did you even bother to look into this or just go with your gut? Even in the east where it's the lowest, for example, gay marriage support is still 43%... higher than in the US in 2009 (Gallup)!

Fair point about the naming origin, but I think it's worth elaborating again:

The ideals of the French Revolution were themselves very problematic. The French Jacobins adapted these "ideals" of the French Revolution in their most extreme, taken to its conclusion form, and the result was a blood bath. Ergo, those very ideals, applied to messy human beings, created a murderously greater mess. It's tiresome to see an endless stream of justifications for extreme socialist leftism with the notion that it only went wrong because "people didn't live up to it". People shouldn't have to live up to an ideology. The ideology should realistically adapt itself to fundamental aspects of the human condition, especially if not doing so means killing innocent human beings and destroying much of their peaceful social organization.

If someone were to say that Nazism would be great "if only all people were blood and soil aryans", it would rightfully be considered grotesque. With extreme socialism, the expectation of people to act completely at odds with our non-collectivist nature (because we're not ants) is taken as a defect os us instead of this woefully, deeply wrong line of thinking. Again, it's grotesque and hypocritical.
Yeah, I left for greener pastures and more pay. It's called the free market.

Badly run companies will get weak talent and become uncompetitive.

It's actually sort of the opposite of that.

They fired 2 activists who were poor performers but not even the people leading the activism. The press made an enormous, outsized fuss over it. A bunch of non-activists left the company half out of disgust and half out of strong encouragement from their peers.

The company's culture is "very toxic" because 80% of the people there are moralizing to all of their peers instead of doing work.
In the same boat, from talking to higher up recruiting people at AWS it sounds like a lot of their cold leads are handled by recruiter contractors.

These contractors (usually overseas) are paid mostly on commission and there are thousands of them. Its not how most big tech companies handle recruiting. They hand a gigantic list of emails to the mob and implement the "casting a wide net" strategy.
Looks like SpaceX should've kept those employees after all. Apparently they work for free!
I guess Walmart decided to become a better employer.
> If Amazon paid the same wage as a lazy cafe by the beach, guess where workers would prefer to go?

You can really close to really identifying the issue but there’s more to build off of this point. Amazon does offer a (somewhat) comparable wage to “a lazy cafe job at the beach” but the catch is that Amazon has a warehouse or two in every major metro area, and each of those requires thousands of full-time employees while there are only handful of beach-side jobs to be had.

Previously, that meant that Amazon didn’t have to raise wages (much) beyond that (poor) benchmark because people need jobs and after all the easy, low-paying ones are taken then the hard, low-paying ones get filled. But with everyone hiring nonstop, everyone paying comparable-enough salaries, that’s not going to cut it, especially when you purposely don’t make employee retention a goal and treat all two-armed human beings as being fungible.

The only bad news is that the layoffs are coming and this historically-low unemployment we’re seeing is coming to an end, meaning Amazon may still get get their way.
Generally record-keeping would be on a parish level, but yes, it's normal for Catholic parishes to keep records on this.
Historically, mine have been about 3% during the 2% inflation years. I got 1.5% last year (whee!).
> employees will naturally want to leave within four years

That also explains why the breadth of AWS services keep growing, but the depth of the existing ones remains the same. Seems they would, every 4 years, lose a bunch of people with deep knowledge in the existing ones, the ones who'd be able to add new and deep features.
cool but I would like to control my own news feed. Could this just be an API where you zip it a url and it gives you a summary?
Inulin is classified as a dietary fiber. It's an indigestible polysaccharide that ends up being eaten by microbes in your gut.

A lot of packaged foods that are high in fiber that you wouldn't expect to be, have inulin. I remember buying some plain 'greek' yogurt for a while that was advertising fiber per serving, and it had added inulin. Anything containing chicory or jerusalem artichoke is probably high in inulin.

If you're not used to eating it - and this is true of a lot of dietary fibers and prebiotics - be prepared for gas. Like potentially uncomfortably large amounts of it. That side effect is supposed to lessen as your gut adjusts to the change, though.

I cannot help you with your contempt for other’s choices and your general cognitive dissonance. However do consider:

- Creators use YT for ease of hosting, earnings for their effort, widespread dissemination

- Users choose YT for ease of watching, content discovery, non-bloated UI/UX

Google uses Ads to cover significant hosting and bandwidth costs, as well as to build quality features to help both creators and users alike.

If this logic doesn’t make sense to you, so be it. But your tirade is both entitled and ignorant.
> - general window positioning; like, if you open an app, rather than just opening a window as new top window, gnome opens it behind others and pushes a notification "FF is ready" wtf

I like this behavior. It only happens for apps that take too long to start. When an app takes too long to start, it is usual for me to continue doing other things while it starts, when it starts, I don't want it stealing my focus. I think this feature works exactly as intended.
No, the difference is that Zuckerberg, for all his faults, is not a narcissitic sociopath.
these advantages/disadvantages are widely known in the speed running community. They occasionally will have a calculation to normalize between regions where an in game clock is used due to PAL vs NTSC, but having more time while still having the same in game clock time is a competitive advantage and you will see all top records using a particular region platform.

A different trick in games that don't have an internal clock, but are instead timed by wall clock is to use a region platform where the text loads faster. For example for Zelda Ocarina of time, the Japanese Wii Virtual Console version is used almost exclusively because of faster text and loading times: https://www.speedrun.com/oot#100

As a developer I find Speed running extremely interesting. The creativity used to eek out performance gains is incredible.

> Once you start trying to classify the personal tweets of the CEO as "working conditions"

Maybe those companies shouldn't include statements like this in their corporate filings then:

Especially when Musk is tweeting from it things like changes to remote work policies.
Can someone with more knowledge of Chemistry enlighten me why chemistry experimentation isn't the killer app for the Metaverse, at least for low-order reactions? I know the e.g. protein folding class of problems are prohibitively computationally expensive, but surely there's some low hanging fruit?
We will see. It is not uncommon to see ex-employees of a company go on to create a competing company. Maybe the ex-employees will have a competitive advantage since Musk isn't an good leader of SpaceX according to them.
Every major sport in the US has a union so I do not think that unions are antithetical to high performance. Certain kinds of contracts obviously are not great but you don’t have to adopt ‘same job, same pay’ contracts, you can adopt ‘min pay, min benefits’ or ‘min pay, same benefits’ type arrangements. The possibilities are endless. Further, a union contract is just one kind of contract and, as long as they aren’t contradictory, employers and employees can have more than one contract.

This idea that unions MUST be antithetical to the company or performance is silly. We have counterexamples on TV almost every day. Further, the idea that job insecurity is the best way to motivate people to perform also seems silly.
In Defense of Polonius
People can be toxic regardless if there is a union or not.

Humanity is endlessly capable of finding ways to do anything (good and bad).

Unions and employers negotiate what kind of decisions are made and how, but they're hardly inclusive of every last thing.

Some of the worst employer's I've had were union shops. It's entirely possible to have the opposite experience too, but there's nothing about a union that prevents toxicity.

For the record I've zero experience with how Kickstarter is / this isn't a comment about how or if there are issues at Kickstarter with such things.
This is a GPT post, right?
> Competition applies to labor too, by the way

Yes, which is why unions are great.

Corporations bargain collectively by default; each is a large unit, with a lot of resources, composed of many people.

Unions allow individuals to bargain collectively, to match corporations in terms of leverage, because few individuals are valuable enough to even come close.
Why is "nicer" in quotes? Who are you quoting, or even paraphrasing?

Objective criteria for PIPs has nothing to do with niceness. Are you aware that this is a standard part of union contracts in general... like one of the first things usually negotiated?

> Adults don't give feedback in a transparent way and this is because they don't want to look discriminatory. Modern employment and HR policies have done great things, but they've made the waters for this kind of communication even more opaque and pushed incentives that way as well.

If I'm understanding your comment correctly, you're against opaque communications? Then, establishing these criteria in a contract is as transparent as you can get.
I intentionally did not provide a moral argument, primarily because I did not think I could do it justice. I've never worked in an Amazon warehouse, and while I have strong opinions, those are better unvoiced to leave air space for people who have worked there, and therefore have better-informed opinions.

I can make academic statements like this one: From the perspective of capitalist ideology, income in an efficient, frictionless market would be proportional to contribution. If Amazon can drive a worker to move twice as many boxes, they ought to be paid double. However, I've never seen a perfectly frictionless, efficient market.

I don't believe there is a "typical" employee whose perspective I could take either -- a lot of this is incredibly context-dependent. Most of us see the world around us, and tend to underestimate the difference to which situations differ, both in other regions, and on the individual. More money=better is obvious, but whether:

- Minimum wage labor sitting in a Domino's idle most of the time; or

- Double minimum wage labor doing back-breaking hard labor

depends on financial needs, age, health, and a whole slew of other things.
It wasn't anything special. I am an amateur EE and not especially talented. I did some cursory search on the Internet, found a circuit that was looking promising and brute forced it by using best components I could find and then ovenized it for great stability and removed any sources of noise I could imagine (for example using linear power supply, etc.) I think just the measurement circuit with the oven was about $500 which is just saying I did poor at optimising for the cost.

But for this project the price was not an issue and the real challenge and bulk of work was in building a model and control algorithm.

There is couple of gotchas. For example if you use very low current through the RTD (PT100 in my case) you get a lot of noise so you need to use relatively high current. But this causes it to heat up. Rather than try to eliminate this effect I decided to make sure this heating up is as constant as possible. This is one of the reasons it had poor absolute precision but was good for measuring changes over time.
The SEC does, because at least Tesla states that they are an "official corporate communication channel". Though Tesla was pressured (by who?) to do so because shareholders were complaining about how they should interpret his tweets.
My politics are probably more aligned with yours than theirs, but if you're open to being unboggled:

It's easy to draw a categorical divide between authorities who are (ostensibly) submitted to voluntarily or transactionally; and authorities whose power is asserted by sovereign monopoly of force.

Many social organizations from families, to churches, to corporations are essentially authoritarian, but (conceptually if not always practically) you're able to remove yourself from them straightforwardly.
A union tends to be a monopoly on labor supply in most cases. Not a competitive labor market.

Bargaining collectively = monopoly. They can raise wages up to the level of marginal profit of the employing company.

Just the same as a company that's a monopoly could raise prices up to marginal value of the good to the customer.

If the company can bypass the union to hire others, then it's not a monopoly. But if the union is influential enough this may not be possible.

Distorted wages for labor is not good for broader society, only those being paid beyond their individual market power. Raises cost of goods and lowers quality for the rest
> It's not a bad concept

What an extreme understatement! (Graham Chapman: "It's a good idea, O Lord!") ...It is part of a tradition.

Anyway, you seem to be using that idea on an odd interpretation. Have you taken it to be, "live simply"?

That would be part of the recipe, but the actor should first (or parallely) learn to approach matters accordingly. And this is where the submitter shows difficulties.

This is why I strongly subscribe to said «spending one's sparetime working [for further money] won't help».
