Except for Montana, every state in the US is an at-will employment state. Meaning the employer (and the employee) may terminate employment at any time, with or without cause or prior notice. In circumstances like this, the idea of "X is enough to get you fired" loses its meaning, since "X" could mean anything or nothing at all.

Therefore, the relevant question is not "is the company within its rights to fire these employees", but rather "was it a good idea for the company to fire these employees".

Your comment is somehow weird in this publication, because the article assumes (and many comments corroborate) that advanced users are not advanced enough to know all the hidden UI of the screenshot feature.
Lots of fun problems to solve here, haha.

For animation you could probably model it as an iterator that produces frames, where that iterator has a counter that increments with each frame, and use that counter as a measure of progress to figure out what should go in the frame. A frame would need a timestamp and maybe image data, or maybe just a data structure that describes what to draw.

Then to render, pull frames off the iterator, display each one, and wait enough time between them. Multiple tracks are like multiple iterators running in parallel, and then something to merge them. I'm using wgpu for the rendering, but sixtyfps might have its own thing?

Happy to chat more about this stuff! Email is in my profile.
So you're saying that Trump and Biden are part of the same "team" puppeting Boris Johnson, but Biden is the quieter one, from a European perspective... But if they're the same team, then why did Trump mind losing the election, why the big lie, why attempt a coup? If he was just handing over control to his quieter teammate. The whole thing makes no sense to me
They were fired for badgering other employees with a letter complaining about tweets.
I understand the 'notion' of social contract. However I choose not to accept the terms of the contract as envisioned by above. A key element of 'contract' is consent.
I would bet real money the fired employees have shared that particular XKCD comic a lot.
Thanks for bouncing the idea around. Sounds like naming such an idea would be a powerful shortcut to reach the root of many free speech discussions. Since I'm not above coining neologisms, "speech anarchy" will be the term I will use going forward.

Speculation.
An open letter like this puts management in a difficult position. I'm going to discuss that without considering other perspectives, to keep the comment on point, please don't read that as endorsement of either the system or, well, anything else.

The most powerful response is to have a top level stakeholder meeting, identify changes from the letter which need to be made, then: fire everyone who wrote the letter, and make those changes.

This sends the message that management is responsive to worker complaints, and will also send you packing immediately if you defect on the company by making anything public which should be an internal matter.

If they do only one of these things, it's either demoralizing or mutiny. Neither of those outcomes is good, one is completely unacceptable. So this is what happens.
A healthy gut microbiome has a diversity of bacteria. You want to have a healthy gut microbiome because it has an incredible number of interactions with your nervous system, which can impact mood, energy, and brain function.

Below is a quick rundown of the essential tools for feeding one's gut microbiome.

- Prebiotics: Carbohydrates and fiber that our body can't digest but act as food for the bacteria in our gut.

- Active culture foods: Yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, etc that contain active bacteria which support the growth of other bacteria.

- Probiotics supplements: contain live active cultures.

If you have a depleted gut microbiome due to stress, disease or recent usage of antibiotics, probiotics are useful to restart the gut microbiome but probably aren't needed for maintenance. Instead, you may be better off eating a diet that contains a healthy amount of prebiotics (fiber, complex carbs) and fermented foods.

The allegation that the person is a "Former Member" is a valid point to contest. Announcing leaving the cult after a scandal is a good sign, moving to a new winery nearby is pretty neutral, still receiving hundreds of thousands in orders from the cult members is a bad sign. On the balance, probably not enough to convict in a court of law, more than enough for Google to take their own investigation before deciding if they see it as self-dealing.

I believe that it is likely BigOil that will finally solve much of our renewable energy needs.

They have the huge amounts of capital, and the management abilities to do nation-state levels of production around energy. Some of the more challenging ideas like space based power beaming on a massive scale would require the kind of capital and longterm projects current day BigOil can bring to bear. Truly massive solar farms are the same way, they require huge capital.

>Visibiome has OTC and rx-only probiotics products

It's worth pointing out that the actual biotic payload is exactly the same between the two products, only the dosage is different.

In other words, taking two packets of the regular unflavored powder should deliver the same payload as one packet of the rx-only "extra-strength" powder.

I suspect the only reason the higher strength product exists, and is rx-only, is so that it can be covered by health insurance for some people.
I have no medical training. This is speculation only. Consult a doctor.

Assuming the translated gut flora to be the cause of your improvement then I'd look at two things. What bacteria the beneficial transplant contains, you can have it assayed (I believe it's called a bacterial culture test) and then find a cheaper source for that bacteria. Two, what the diet of the donor is, so you can try to replicate the beneficial environment in which those particular bacteria flourish.

AIUI, your own bacterial flora are in competition with the transplant. So, I wonder if a doctor would prescribe antibiotics (or something else) to wipe out your own flora, then the new flora (possibly with a diet change) would have a greater chance of taking hold?

I wonder also if the causal flow is different here, that there's maybe an underlying condition that is causing the gut flora to not prosper (like making an excessively acid environment).

I'm not sure about that. The right is returning to a more traditional conservatism. The right used to support tariffs, using the government to push their agenda, more of a small tent party, nationalist, etc. The small government conservative, neoconservative, globalist, and big tent ideologies are new (for conservatives) and being rejected. I don't think returning to your roots is "bonkers".
> Are you going to put aside the threat of nuclear war for another day and vote with the #1 issue being whether you feel your internet is too expensive and/or suitably available?

You could make this same argument with literally anything though, as if the only priority of the government is nuclear war.

Are you going to put aside the threat of nuclear war and vote on food and drug regulation? Are you going to put aside the threat of nuclear war and vote on voting rights? Are you going to put aside the threat of nuclear war and vote on tax reform? This argument reduces the government to a worst-case scenario committee.

Musk got someone fired from a job because they once worked for the SEC.

So I imagine Musk believes anyone who causes him displeasure, in any form, even by association, should be put in their place by measures including, and up to, loss of livelihood.

I'm not so sure he gives a damn about anyone in the military, unless they run afoul of the ideas presented in previous statement.
Complaining about letters instead of working?

Sticks, stones and letters may break my bones.
I had the same feeling when I first started using a lisp (which was Scheme to work through SICP and the Ableman&Sussman MIT course). I was utterly entranced by the simplicity and uniformity. It was absolutely a factor in the way syntax works in my personal language (which I use for almost everything in my day to day). I really do agree that learning a lisp can truly expand the way in which a dev views and thinks about code.
One bad example may not be useful, but FWIW the first blurb I read on your demo got the salient facts of the article badly wrong:

"What Range Anxiety? The Mercedes-Benz EQS 580, Reviewed
Mercedes-Benz first gave us a glimpse at its electrification strategy in 33, with its first battery-electric vehiclethe EQC 23 crossovergoing on sale in Europe in 21. Sporting a range of around 2770 miles, 354 km the 402 hp 296 kW SUV never made it over to this side of the Atlantic."

I was quite interested in an EV with a 2770-mile range!
By one measure, bringing down consumption of energy to 1950s levels is consistent with more sustainable consumption patterns. In 1998, the 2000-watt society vision was introduced by ETH Zurich as sustainability target. Interestingly, Switzerland [fixed] surpassed 2000 watts per person per day in the early 1960s. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society#:~:text=The%...

BPMN and BPMN-based or related tooling is pretty popular within businesses for, well, business process automation. It offers a no/low-code way of moving manual processes to an automated form and can work well. But these are relatively simple programs that often boil down to a dataflow-style + decision tables. The diagrams are desirable for communicating the process to non-programmers anyways so it's handy that you can (more or less) use them to at least describe the flow of the system, if not all actions (like you may write code for some of the actions, but overall you can accomplish most things with the diagrams and tables and built-in tools for your particular BPMN service).

I had similar experiences with LabVIEW 12+ years ago, it was effective for what we were using it for which, similarly, boiled down to a dataflow-style program and decision tables pulling from various data sources and pushing to various data sinks.

The biggest challenge I faced working on a team with things like this was that scaling to more complex systems only works if your design is reasonably modular. If it's not, then it's hard to simplify the current presentation sufficiently to make it comprehensible above a certain size of diagram. Of course text-based programs have the same problem (the 10k SLOC function with the same 100 lines repeated throughout but in slightly different orderings and with different variable names), but most programmers are more familiar with that situation and can either slog through it or know how to refactor it to get out of the mess.

Syntax is a subjective preference. I didn't like that fact for the longest time but it's a fact regardless.
The argument you're advancing here, though it may be popular with some kinds of lawyers, is tantamount to arguing that any discussion at all could be considered about working conditions. Once you start trying to classify the personal tweets of the CEO as "working conditions" you're starting a fast track to eventually having working conditions be stripped of its legal weight, as it'll turn into just another rule being exploited by woke culture warriors in ways it was never meant to be used.

I think you say that with some amount of snark, but both sides of the argument agree with this. It isn't controversial to say twitter isn't legally or socially obligated to give you a platform to practice free speech.

The fact Musk wants to turn it into a platform for free speech doesn't imply that he believes twitter has that burden of responsibility, only that he thinks it would be a good thing if they took on that responsibility.

It's also not hypocritical for Musk to say twitter would be a good platform to take on the responsibility of free speech while also saying workplace communication is not a good platform to take on the responsibility of free speech.

Now whether you or I agree with his stance on either of these points is another subject entirely, but it is not hypocrisy as other comments seem to be suggesting.
Yeah, the idea that employees can't criticize a CEO is patently ridiculous. There are plenty of companies with compelling products and talent, but poor leadership. Those companies would be lucky to have employees willing to speak up.
In 1990, the federal government released a new version of GOSIP, which required that vendors demonstrate compliance with the OSI suite of protocols. These would really have been the "public internet" with standards agreed upon by international bodies, and voting by country. The large telephone companies, in many countries government-regulated monopolies, expected to run it, as they did telephone service.

I actually kicked off a lengthy thread on the internet-history mailing list about this, and the conclusion was that by 1990, the war was already over and TCP had won.

Network operators said, in effect, "OK, we support OSI. But GOSIP doesn't say we actually have to run it on our network."

One guy from The Wollongong Group said that his company offered a package to assist in converting from TCP to OSI, since obviously everyone would have to do it. They found that in Europe, supposedly the hotbed of international standards, there was only demand for a package to convert the other way: OSI --> TCP.

Note that this is not an object lesson proving either that "government works" OR "government always screws things up."

The reason TCP worked and OSI didn't was that regular engineers and grad students and postdocs, not politicians and big telecoms, built it. One reason they had such success is that the Defense Department applied time pressure: "give us something that works now, not in the glorious future." So that's also the government -- just a different part of it.
The majority of people go to the most-popular (walled garden) social media these days.

In that sense, the majority rarely realise what the internet is [1] and that it's more than just Facebook, Amazon etc.

Insubordination also might be "Directly questioning or mocking management decisions". [1]

Another example: 5 insubordination in the workplace examples [2]

2. Refusal to come into work
3. Refusal to remain at work
4. Disrespecting authority figures
5. Sabotaging team or organizational activities

If it's hard to tell the difference, it'll be hard to sell the difference. (Cheesy rhyme intentional)

But seriously, you could probably do some research to work out your solution's strengths, relative to existing solutions.

When you know what it's strengths are, try to find people who want those strengths.

Ultimately, you're asking the question 'is there a market for what I've built?' - but you've phrased that question differently.
Or you write a public open letter, accepting the risk it might cost you your job but deciding that it is your highest leverage option to enact the change you want to see. What’s your point, exactly..?
I am not certain they could, but it is not me who makes decisions, and those guys thought they could take Kyiv in 36 hours. It seems doable as paras could be reinforced much faster. The big problem is the none of those countries have depth to absorb initial attack, Ukraine's terrain is not great for the defender but at least it is a large country.

I was incorrect about the 5th column number. Lithuania is actually the best in this category with very few non-citizens. Seems like many left and some naturalized, current total is more like 8% not 33% like it was in the 90s. Latvia has the most but it is still much less than 20%.
We’ll have to disagree then. Not sure why you’re listening to so many of his interviews if you find the questions extremely dull and generic. Insomnia?
It really depends on how much you are willing to spend. The more you take on yourself, the more money you can keep for yourself. Time is money, after all. In my anecdotal experience, it does seem that things like finding contractors is a place many are willing to put in the time to save some cash. However, there are businesses who are full service providers for those who want to be as hands off as possible. You will pay for that service, of course. And, indeed, to bring this full circle, if you are already struggling to obtain the necessary credit you might not be able to afford such services.
"Sporting a range of around 2770 miles" is not a valid excerpt.

I have always had a significant mood boost from taking probiotics - either from food or as supplements. Some forms of probiotics make me overly happy to the point that it is detrimental to my life. Recently I started taking these probiotics - seed.com - and find them reasonably balanced. You will see improved mood and sleep for a few days but then not much - not sure why it doesn't persist. I am still continuing with these because they seem to be helping with other digestive issues. I also notice way more mood improvement when eating Sauerkraut so try to eat a couple of tablespoons of it everyday. I have experimented enough with microbiome related stuff that I am fully convinced they play a major role in ones health (including mood and energy). That said, there is way more to it than simply the species of bacteria. Where those bacteria are located in the gut (small or large intestine or colon), what other species are there, your genetics, your diet, lifestyle, your psyche, etc., all play a part in their functioning. I wish there was a more "big-data" approach to figuring out things than researching one species at a time.
