If the schedule depends on the train actually beginning to move at "departure time" then the doors need to start closing before that, because if someone is in the door it will reopen, beep, and reclose.

However, you could have the doors close at the beginning of the minute, and the train leave at the end of the minute and have 59 second leeway.

I think the long and short of it is that systematically incentivizing anything is hard.

When organizations are small, you have the resources to evaluate performance on a case by case basis because everyone works with everyone else to some degree. When organizations grow and you have layers of bureaucracy, inevitably some asshole middle manager gives someone a bad review for a bullshit reason (jealousy, racism, dislike, etc).

That's when HR swoops in and starts making processes and standards for everything to shield the company from lawsuits. Crucially, these processes and standards don't necessarily prevent the problem, but just let the company's lawyers argue that they tried to prevent the problem.

Now that you have processes and standards for everything, employees start gaming the system. The goal is no longer "do the thing that makes the company succeed". The company is so big that relatively few individuals have the power to swing the company's fortunes one way or the other. Instead, the goal is now "maximize my career growth".

Then you end up in the nonsense FAANGM situation where individual little teams are putting out crap and making decisions that make the company look dumb. Things that would be easy to ignore if a significant fraction of teams weren't doing it. All because they're doing things that maximize their "impact".

This is hard to correct because you don't want to be too harsh with your teams and hurt morale, and it's not like it's every team. So you try to be flexible, be tolerant of missteps as long as people show improvement, because if you just fired everybody who made boneheaded decisions in the name of "impact", the hit to moral would cause terrible attrition problems. And worse, some of them would sue the company, which was the problem you were trying to avoid in the first place.

s/company/university/g as needed.

It's one of those classic situations where every individual step in the process does at least kind of make sense, but the end result is bonkers.
… which means that apps that are working on any kind of modern device can't rely on this behaviour, and thus can't generate passwords or other account critical secrets using this method.

Doesn't seem imbalanced to me. I can leave and take my labor to any other company tomorrow without obligations, covenants or restrictions (non-compete agreements notwithstanding).

Good. According to Shotwells response they were basically harassing the rest of the staff and trying to get them to turn on the company.

Fire them immediately. Name and shame them so that they have to explain this behavior to their next employer. This type of thing is so toxic and so abusive to everybody they try to suck into it.
First, have you ever asked (even if just yourself) if anyone sees an issue with massive corporations?

The second thing is that it isn't the right question. Anything make by humans is imperfect. The question is, does union representation lead to better outcomes for a larger number of people? And the answer is pretty clearly yes.
Nah man, I've spent way too much time trying to piece together libraries to turn core dumps into a useful stack trace. Similarly, as miserable as Python package management is, at least it has a package manager that works with virtually every project in the ecosystem. I actually really like writing C++, but there are certain obstacles that slow a developer down tremendously--I could forgive them if they were interesting obstacles (e.g., I can at least amuse myself pacifying Rust's borrow checker), but there's no joy in trying to cobble together a build system with CMake/etc or try to get debug information for a segfault.

Oh I saw that. I was expecting that they were gonna discuss stateful iterators more generally. Database iterators are just a tiny subset of stateful iterators. I think discussing the latter more generally would have been more useful than a one-liner about databases.
Wasn't it an internal letter that was leaked? I mean sure, being leaked is a predictable consequence, but it may be a distinction with a difference if the criticizers didn't themselves leak it.

Regardless, will be interesting to see how this plays out. If I were one of those employees, I'd be talking to a lawyer. If I was one of the employees still working at SpaceX, I'd be talking about a union. We recently unionized at my employer, it is great to know we have each other's back.

If this were true, I don’t see a problem here. This is harassment
Rust-style with Vecs+Iterators is the current style, yes. So the map+sum example creates an iterator rather than copying the array.

I'd like to remove iterators in favor of Generators (implemented with Algebraic effects) in the future though since they're much easier to define. Actually switching over is on hold until effects are implemented and speed tests are done to ensure they're compareable speed to iterators (which they should hopefully be due to monomorphisation of effects + handlers).

Oh right, they can organize world wars, figure out how to build Manhattan Projects, send people to the moon, invent the internet... But oh no, they don't have the bandwidth?

Where did this ridiculous idea come from, and why is it parroted so often? The internet is a joke compared to what the government can do.

It's part of a long term trend for people to actively work against successful government projects, then use the resulting failure to try to privatize that which should be public.

As per Matt Levine:

...The way the traditional system works is that if you have a margin loan, and the value of your collateral declines, your broker calls you up and says “hey we need more collateral,” and you either post more collateral and it’s fine, or you don’t post more collateral and your broker liquidates your position. Or sometimes you say something like “hang on I’ve got another call, I’ll call you back after lunch,” or “sorry I don’t have the money right now but I am a good customer and you know I’m good for it,” or “I don’t have the money right now but I’m pretty sure prices can only recover from here so why don’t you let it ride for a day or two,” or whatever, and you don’t post more collateral but your broker doesn’t liquidate your position because you’re a human and your broker is a human and everyone is embedded in a repeated social game with fuzzy rules
Well the law is changing to make failure to carry out your responsibilities as a specific officer in a company a criminal offence. But that’s got nothing to do with a companies limited liability.

There are plenty of other positions in companies that come with similar personal criminal liability. They mostly only exist in finance industry, but the roles of CEO, CRO, MLRO etc in most financial institutions come with personal criminal liability.

The liability in these cases is usually tied to competence and knowledge. It’s illegal to be incompetent at your role, and it’s illegal to be ignorant of the activities of your company that fall within your roles responsibilities. The expectation is that individuals in this role will setup policy and monitoring frameworks to make sure that nobody is doing any stupid, that might result in them going to prison.

All of these requirements came into existence after the 2008 financial crisis, after it became apparent that senior leaders in financial institutions we’re keeping themselves deliberately ignorant of the misbehaviour of their companies, and creating a situation where nobody could be held responsible for the mess.

I’m not sure that age verification for website meets the bar needed for applying this approach here. But there are certainly places where it makes sense.

The function represents the operation or computation you want to perform. The arguments represent inputs or parameters for that operation or computation.

Of course, theoretically you could also view the function as a parameter of the computation and/or the arguments as specifying an operation (in particular if those are also functions), but for most concrete function invocation that's not generally the mental model. E.g. in "sin(x)" one usually has in mind to compute the sine, and x is the input for that computation. One doesn't think "I want to do x, and `sin` is the input of that operation I want to do". One also doesn't think "I want to do computation, and `sin` and `x` are inputs for that computation". It's why you may have mentally a sine graph ranging over different x values, but you don't imagine an x graph ranging over different functions you could apply to x.
The median home isn't in a city is it?
GP's point is that while yes, we know since `f` has arity 1 there's no ambiguity, in general you might not have the arity of any given function fresh in your head, and therefore can't tell (in Ruby) just from looking at `f f 1` whether it means a single invocation of an arity 2 function, or two invocations of an arity 1 function

Amtrak had added the signage when I was using it in Southern California, and it could be fun to watch it continually update the "expected arrival time" which seemed to only jump by five minutes even when the train was physically thirty minutes away. The website was much more accurate about where the train was and when it would arrive.

I mean if I wrote a letter criticizing my CEO and made it public or just widespread in the company I’d expect to be fired?

Typically there are channels to voice criticism internally within a company that don’t involve public statements.

And if the answer back is “we disagree with your criticism” I mean the options are: 1) drop it or 2) leave.

As the economy falters we’re going to see a lot less coddling of employee behavior that undermines the business itself.

Worst thing? His influencing is central to his success.

Unfortunately for civil discourse, it’s more effective to create controversial messaging that resonates with your followers, than sanitized messaging that is generally inoffensive. Controversial messaging makes your supporters increasingly loyal and attentive, as the noise from vocal ‘haters’ just keeps feeding your base. It’s perverse, it’s toxic, it’s exhausting but it works.

Look at the price earnings ratio of Tesla. What else is it but the world’s largest meme stock? His messaging vibes very strongly with Wall Street Journal readers and the Reddit trading community.

Nahh, they'll just ignore UK law just like they ignore other countries laws. I mean, do you really expect every website owner to be versed in every single country's laws? There's no way!

Unless they "do business" in a specific country (e.g. selling goods/services) there's not really any downside to just ignoring that country's laws (when it comes to website/data stuff).

I don't plan to ever sell stuff to say, Guyana and never plan to go there. Why should I care what their laws are regarding websites/data collection? It's completely irrelevant.

“Since our founding, IJ has fought to roll back oppressive occupational-licensing rules in more than two dozen distinct occupations, ranging all the way from tax preparers to florists to traditional African hair braiders.”
See my other response in this thread - an actual deployment would require every train on the tracks to automatically submit a 'plan' for it's location, and if it cannot submit a plan, then it isn't allowed on the tracks. Plans last until replaced by a new plan, so a train will always have at least a place on the track it can be.

It doesn't solve the problem of 'there is a tree on the tracks' or 'someone put a homemade train on the tracks' - you need a different solution to that.

Individual investors tend to get liquidated, but for hedge funds larger investors the story is more complex. See <https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-07-29/archeg...>:

> In the traditional financial system, very few things work like this. One thing that mostly does is a margin account at a retail stock brokerage: If your stock declines, you will get a margin call, and if you don’t post margin within a defined and fairly tight time frame your broker will sell the stock, and this really might all be done by a computer in a pretty formulaic way. But if you have a big enough account — if you are a big hedge fund or family office — it doesn’t work that way. When Credit Suisse Group AG decided that Archegos Capital Management did not have enough collateral in its margin account, a Credit Suisse representative called Archegos and asked it to post more collateral, and Archegos said, sorry, we are really busy this week, let’s discuss next week. In theory Credit Suisse could have liquidated Archegos’s positions, but in practice that would have been rude, so it didn’t. Credit Suisse did not extend credit to Archegos based on some defined formulaic function of the value of its collateral; Credit Suisse extended credit to Archegos based on some fuzzy holistic relationship-based function of how much business it hoped to do with Archegos, how much the Credit Suisse people liked the Archegos people, how its traders felt about the collateral, when its risk committees had meetings, stuff like that.

I wouldn't say those are equivalent. Any exploit in v8 gets full access to the process, which in a multi tenant situation means access to other tenants. And v8 itself is hardly bug free.
