> As a manager of managers, it’s not that hard to see when a manager’s own team doesn’t like them. Getting multiple requests from people on a team who want to escape it is a huge warning sign that warrants further investigation.

Doing a good job of identifying teams who don't like their manager means discovering it before you have multiple people trying to transfer away from that team. By the time you've reached that point you've already failed in your job as the manager's manager.
The only thing they actually mention doing at the company during all that time was the union drive.

Did they create products? Features? Internal tools? Design guides/system? Any actual work? Or just agitating for a union that their coworkers clearly did not want?

It's political advertising and, like many, I don't want any ads in my apps. Normalizing political ads in apps is a two edged sword because, even if yours are righteous, there are plenty of unsavory political movements I don't want to see ads for and they would be just as "justified" as yours because they too sincerely believe their cause is righteous (even though we would disagree).
Texting androids from an iPhone is a legitimately bad experience. No clue why iPhone users don't just get whats app, but if they're not willing to it's not surprising that they're uninterested in having text conversations with androids.

No numbers. Reads like the dhmo article. What is the risk vs, say, smoking, NOx air pollution, petroleum fumes, cooking byproducts, uva/uvb, …. There a whole lot of risky things out there, at varying effective or toxic doses. To say that X is hazardous it has to be compared to other things. How much toothpaste must you eat?
I have used a few SSO providers and never had this. I usually log into the portal once and then everything else resolve via redirects without interaction the rest of the day. Maybe I have to click confirm. This sounds like bad configuration on your ITs side of things.

Right fit can mean a lot, I recognize, but it includes the nature of my role (I've run large companies), how well-funded, connection w/current leadership, etc. I only mentioned fit to explain that while I have several offers, the right one has yet to emerge. Thanks for asking.
Art and politics have always been intervened, and there are many political artists (like Bono, Sting, etc) that made it their gimmick to raise their voice on every political subject that triggers them. That is ok, people got used to it and it has become part of their personality.

But if a defragmentation tool suddently rubs some "Free Tibet" activism into your face by changing their app logo and prompting a message, one can rightfully wonder what the developer is trying to achieve aside from alienating part of the userbase.
> On the other hand, you can choose to not use Apple and your life won't be affected at all. I don't use Apple at all and don't feel I missing out. Apple doesn't have any network effect.

This doesn't change the reality that Apple has too much power. Just because it's possible to not use Apple doesn't mean we should ignore that one company has nearly complete and unchecked control over the digital lives of more than half of the US population, as well as a massive chunk of the tech industry as a whole.

Nobody needs to travel with 8 pairs of underwear. Take two or three high-quality ones (e.g. Ex Officio) and wash them at night.

Also, I have yet to visit a civilized location in the world where you cannot buy a decent disposable razor that's better than the electric shaver he carries around the world. I understand they recycle pretty well too, if you're worried about waste.

I suspect you don’t have much experience with how much chaos an immature and overly arrogant person can cause a project. Those people can be poison to morale, to productivity, to the organization’s culture, and ultimately to the organization itself that employ them.

Been there, done that, and it’s just not worth it. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.

One organization I worked for about 15 years ago, us leaders and managers had the flexibility by the owner to immediately remove any person we deemed as poison or problematic: employee or contractor. We would deal with any legal fallout after because it was understood that removing the poison was ultimately better and less costly for the organization than any legal fallout related to a termination.
I'm glad you're here to see it!

Worse happened to me. I had no cavities until the age of 36. Then I apparently got two. New dentist. I went for a second opinion and a second new dentist confirmed it, but who knows. I got the fillings. Within six weeks, one of the teeth broke in half around the filling and the guy was trying to give me an emergency root canal. I ended up having to have it pulled. The other one broke in half a few months later, another emergency surgery. That time, I went in and I'm pretty sure he worked on me drunk.

I haven't tried to sue the guy, but I think seriously about firebombing his office every time I drive by it.
The gay men I date also bullied me when I still had an Android. If your social circle uses discord then they’re probably not concerned with being normal.
It's not the same. Icons are partly a functional component, rather than being purely aesthetic. If I just can't find the app I'm looking for due to there being something wrong with the icon, I certainly get annoyed.

For people who identify things primarily by color rather than shape, I can totally see a temporary palette swap causing that. Others might go mostly by the shape, and care less. (I'm one of those people, though the way Google's apps changed colors three years ago was an exception: they basically ended up applying the principles of camouflage to break the shapes in a way that completely destroyed my ability to distinguish them at a glance.)

And then there are people who just go by spatial location, or by the text, and couldn't tell you the first thing about the icon itself. I assume those people would instead be driven up the walls if the icons were re-arranged automatically by app popularity, or if apps were constantly being renamed.

The author did say these were "likely" apps they had paid for.

I don't look at people's usernames when replying. Everything I stated can be verified:

https://www.findlaw.com/traffic/traffic-tickets/arrest-warra...

I never disputed or argued anything about whether having a criminal record impedes ones ability to get a job. I replied to someone who was shocked that 70 million Americans have a criminal record and want to point out that it does not mean that 70 million Americans are criminals, or have been convicted of a crime. The vast majority of those records are strictly for arrests, most of which did not result in a conviction and could be the result of something as benign as having an unpaid parking ticket, which is a verifiable fact.

OP's reply is that parking tickets rarely result in arrest warrants or jail time. I could not find data for the U.S. as a whole, but at least in Texas over 1 million arrest warrants were issued in 2018 alone just over unpaid traffic tickets to the point that the legislature had to step in to request judges stop putting people in jail over it:

https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2019/04/texas-aske...

You can find similar articles about other states (this seems to be a mostly state by state).

For further information about how the 70 million people have criminal records gives a misleading impression, there's the following Politifact article as well:

The problem here is the definition of real, which is ultimately a matter of perspective. What is simulated rain to an external observer is real rain to one that only sees the simulation from within. In this sense real rain can be just computation.

Also by the article's definition, a simulated consciousness (should it somehow exist) is no less real since only the consciousness' own qualia matters and the hypothetical simulated consciousness must have one by definition.

> social stigma of being that one guy who makes the chat suck for everyone else just by being present

I have been trying to parse this. You do understand that for some people (like me), I explicitly DO NOT want an iPhone, right? It isn't I cannot afford it, I do not want it. The reason the chat "sucks for everyone else" is because Apple doesn't open up the protocol. Don't blame me for not wanting an iPhone.

Actually... no. Solana has no central authorities.

Solend is an individual application running on Solana.
Why do the other popular VPNs not have any integrity left?
We aren't going to see real change until vendors start facing consequences for their negligence. Yes the criminals who exploit these vulnerabilities should go to prison but there also needs to be consequences for companies that don't bother patching vulnerabilities when they know better.
"Hey, I want to run N copies of this one program in parallel, and I also would like to be able to press Ctrl+C to stop them all at once, surely it's easy?" Yes, but only if you know the right spell:

I've seen quote enough of coworkers who struggled trying to Ctrl-C the &-ed copies of programs from a single shell, only to give up and run them from several xterm windows/Terminator tabs instead, can't really blame them.

No, they’re saying consumers are able to stop using your app if you inject politics into it, and some percentage will.

No right or wrong involved, this means less money for you.
> that small companies will absolutely take an 80% discount to not have it while large orgs will pay full price

I think we are disagreeing, because the point is that small orgs absolutely should not have to compromise on this basic security feature, and the end result is a less secure internet that is a detriment to everyone.
According to an article I read a while back, the predictive text is not supposed to suggest / correct to a different word if you type fuck, but it is not supposed to suggest fuck if you mistype it.

That seems eminently reasonable to me, without being "safety standards".

Yes, modern English is certainly saltier than what people pretended it was for the last century or so, but the line that Apple took seems to be the right line (allow offence without correction, do not suggest offence by default).

There are many things on which I disagree with Apple’s stance (I think that Apple should allow pornographic apps in the store, but that those apps should have tighter controls on them to prevent some of the scammiest behaviours reported against pornographic sites; I also think that Apple should be doing a lot more to prevent abuse of the pricing tools that it does have).
There's a constellation of techniques involving "Timeline" therapy, typically combined with hypnosis. You can go back in time and change your personal history, give your younger self more psychological resources from the POV of your grownup self.

There is a technique called "Parental Timeline Reimprinting" where you go back in time to before you were born (or before your parents were born) and give your parents (or grandparents) more resources to be able to change their behaviour and so raise you differently in a kind of imaginary parallel universe. Despite being imaginary this alternate universe "you" can "merge" with the "real" you and typically deep and pervasive healing often occurs.
You can't trim with the functional antecedent.
I actually don't think the observable universe is big enough, and that's been demonstrated mathematically by better people than I, but the universe as a whole including non-observable parts might be big enough.

I don't see how this is not the Bolzmann's Brain proposition. What's the difference?

>Consciousness can have a materialist explanation yet also be substrate dependent to an extent.

I suppose so, maybe there's a quantum mechanical component, but even in that case why couldn't that be built into a computer? What sort of substrate might it be that we couldn't build it into a robot for example?
So just pay once for an entire year, if you use them often, or the flat monthly rate, whenever you need. This doesn't sounds too much of a hassle, especially considering the price.

It would make sense for freight trains to be fully self-driving before freight trucks... and for inter-modal ports to autonomously move containers from rail cars to self-driving trucks that bring containers to pre-positioned/parked semi trucks to haul to a final destination (with a human behind the wheel). I don't know if the railroad unions/regulations are really that strong but I don't see self-driving freight trains happening anytime soon in the US.
"somehow"... Twitch pays about $3.50 per 1,000 views to full-time streamers, starting somewhere around 500 regular viewers. Top end streamers make $5k/mo streaming 40 hrs a week. It's not SF senior dev money, but high-school me would think it's pretty cool to be making money "just" playing video games. (Instead I'm posting on HN for free.)
LDAP is in the "SSO family", but definitely brings with it a lot of challenges. Chief among those is binding over the open Internet if you're a cloud app. It's surprising just how many orgs are running unencrypted LDAP, which makes those environments unfit for authenticating apps outside of the company network.

I'm not sure if I would classify LDAP as a middle ground though (rather, it's another tool in the toolbox) - it may be more challenging to implement as a software startup, and is often not viable depending on the customer environment.

Not where I'd invest development capacity in 2022.

No, but luckily you have the legal right to change your VW engine with a Ford engine if you really want to.

But in your analogy, your VW would only allow VW gas sold by VW at VW filling stations. And the only two types of cars on the road are VWs and Fords, and each have their own filling station.

Now imagine you live in an area where only VW owns gas stations, they lobby the government and explain for the safety of the citizens they can't allow you to use any gas from anyone else, and the closest Ford station is 100 miles away, and you already own a VW.

I could tell you, "hey, you bought into the ecosystem, and you can leave any time".

And you would tell me I'm being unreasonable, and fight your local government to allow 3rd party gas stations.

Flouride is toxic, period. The argument that you are likely trying to make, to oppose my statement, is how much of it can a person ingest before having negative health effects and is it really good for your teeth. It might be better to read about its history of usage, and that many countries do not allow flouride in their drinking water, and have a cavity rate that is equal or less than that of the U.S.

Personally, I almost never downvote (unless the user is literally writing one liner responses, insulting, or spamming).

The comments that are grey because they said something controversial are the ones I upvote the most.

I mean if we keep downvoting all the comments we disagree with because of an emotional response to it, how will we ever have an interesting discussion?

Also, I've noticed a pattern that after the depth of let's say 1-2 back and forth, the civility is often lost and the thread is no longer engaging.

One should know when it is a good time to stop replying..
There are many words you would not want to send in a text to your coworkers, such as when you ask them to "re jigger the Q2 results." The only question is where the line is drawn for the OS to say "it's better that I never autocorrect into this perfectly real English word."

I think a cheap streaming solution using bittorrent would be awesome. You would still need a beefy seed host but otherwise I'd love to something like that exist.

However, I’m surprised at how casually he mentionned how much he has travelled, by flight almost exclusively.

I don't feel Apple's "power"... I use an iPhone and Macbook Pro right now, but I could ditch them just like I did a few years ago when Macbook Pro was junk. I went to a LG Gram laptop, linux desktop (others could go to Windows and the wide variety of hardware available). I'm in Apple's ecosystem because I prefer to be, not because I have to. Same with mobile phones - could switch to Android. I appreciate they don't get along with the FaceBook and FBI.

Clearly there exist risks we should invest time in avoiding. It takes time to look both ways when crossing the road, but that is time well spent given the large risk of death when crossing without looking.

Likewise there are risks that are better ignored. There is risk in flying on an airplane, but it’s not risky enough to forego the good that comes of it.

Only with quantification comes the ability to rationally decide whether to take a risk or not.

The issue with these chemicals is that we do not know how to even quantify their risk. So we have to estimate and people’s gut estimates vary wildly. Your gut estimate is that there is a low risk, others estimate a high risk.

Only time will tell who is correct, such is the uncertainty of life.

Double spaces was the norm on (almost always monospaced font) typewriters [EDIT: in English]. I assume it lingered on computers until sometime in the 80s but was shifting especially once proportional fonts for written material (other than things like code of course) became the norm.

I couldn't tell you when I switched.
