"conflict averse" and "easy to manipulate" are personality traits. Pretty subjective and not useful for (adult) discourse. There's a way to think of political "moderates" as a political science category. An example of a moderate position would be, supporting a free market economy but a wide social security system. An example of the other (economic) extremes are laissez-faire and socialism.

You're successfully proving my point from the comment above: you're painting folks who don't share your views. This does you a disservice as you can't possibly understand the arguments. There are many, many ways in which a person can be a Moderate or a particular topic can have a moderate viewpoint.

The cure for this affliction (of imagining your opponents and creating personifications in your head) is to diversify your conversational and reading sources.
> Until very recently, Ireland? (excluding the gun thing, of course.)

What's also interesting to consider is why "the gun thing" wasn't a thing in Ireland.

You'll notice a certain neighbor meddling into internal affairs for a long time whose rulers sure didn't want the common Irishman to "stand his ground" so to speak. [0]

Thanks for the response, all great advice!

> Eventually we all recognized I was the team's manager

Yeah, definitely feels the same for me at the moment.

> I make sure everyone knows how much money we make, how much we spend, what our customers want, what techs we use, what I think we have as tech debt, etc...

I've been on a mission this last week or two to increase platform observability, especially how it relates to revenue impact. We've got a long ways to go, but I'm optimistic!

> I still do engineering work

Curious as to whether you experienced any friction wearing the multiple hats. I'll definitely be in this position, and I'm a little nervous that any development work I do, or code reviews I give will seem more dictator-like, which I think is antithetical to a high performing team. Maybe just strong communication here is the key as well.
We're not talking about whether it's a moral responsibility to do it voluntarily. The question is whether you should be forced, under threat of prison, to donate your body to save them.
Does anyone else have any other interesting court case filings to share, off the top of their head, that documents the evidence trail used to unmask litigants?
I'm kind of the opposite, being able to pin my Github PAT so that I can do commits from remote servers I'm working on, has been awesome.
If you are a manager and you are getting headwinds of layoffs, tell your reports ASAP, off the record instead of waiting until the last minute. That gives them time to settle any other personal matters and start looking for a new job immediately.

This is especially important for employees with families since they often have a spouse or some kid needing health insurance. The loss of a job is dangerous for their lives.
Hmm, even if this is the kid you’ve been forced to carry to term, after being raped ? The kid that through no fault of their own makes you reluctant be that horror, danger in, day out ? Not every kid is wanted.

The issue here is not “should you”, it is “should you be forced to”.
I actually find these thinly veiled company best practices fascinating.

I find I can learn a lot of life lessons by reading a condensed account of a person’s entire life in their (auto)biography.

For the same reason, I would hope to learn a lot of great real life patterns from a book called Real World OCaml… a kind of condensed (auto)biography of an institution’s experience with a technology.

I had a situation with my new Studio where elevating didn't work. It got into a loop (asking for permission, getting it, trying and failing and asking again), but I can't remember now what it was... it was in the setup phase, and I'm foggy on exactly what it was.

They can only get bigger if you can reach a new population of suckers with each new cycle. But crypto is probably at the point where anyone who can operate a computer, has heard of it.

And in fact OCaml does have BP, as was explained earlier, just with a heavier syntax.

> effective inability to use point-free style

OK but point-free style is not an end in itself, it's just a means to an end (clean code), and there's certainly no universal agreement that it's the best means...explicit style is almost always easier to understand for a wide assortment of people and doesn't require mental backflips trying to figure out the weird heiroglyphics of '(.) (.) (.)' etc. etc.

Yeah I can see how writing e.g.

All claims in this process dealt with the DMCA system, not the Content ID system, and YT handled it in the only way they legally can throughout the entire process.
I agree that the original ruling was ideological, but in the real world the enemy of good is perfect. How many people will suffer in the meantime because of this? How many women in red states will undergo back alley procedures to terminate their pregnancy? Truth be told I really don't care about the intellectual consistency of upholding or overturning Roe, I care about the real world impact it will have on people. It's not abstract, these are real people's lives.

Also that's before even getting into the structure of our federal system and explaining how "states rights" have almost always been a tool for upholding regressive legislature that is unpopular at the national level, due to the fact that a filibuster-proof supermajority is required to reign in the states, meanwhile a dissenting minority within the states has no similar recourse. Why do you think most of the progress in civil rights post-1964 has been accomplished through the Supreme Court? It's because southern and rural states are impossible to reign in with congress. This is why the Federalist Society went through the Supreme Court, because it's technically legal and technically how our government is supposed to work. But the end result is them harming people just like you and me.
What use is the copyright ownership? Does anyone have any interest in the images, other than their speculative "value" as an NFT? I can't imagine anyone being able to (for example) sell posters or prints of a bored ape. Or is my imagination simply lacking?
As an aside, I appreciate that you’re engaging in good faith. I’m sure you arrive at your position through conviction, even though I strongly disagree.

> I look at all other development nations (note, I'm not American), and I wonder how America can stand out so boldly backward on these issues.

And yet, seems people are trying to move to America rather than from it, simply looking at demographics and immigrations stats. That's especially true for smart, young and educated professionals. So it appears to be a very successful model.
And that’s a good thing. (most majors that can be completed by GPT-3 and focus on “papers” aren’t substantive in the first place)
Wuhan is quite far from where most bats life in China. It's like having a tornado research facility in New York.
There are lots of issues where there are religious people on both sides. Take immigration for example: there are Christians who support looser immigration laws for religious reasons, and other Christians who have religious reasons to disagree. You can say that makes immigration a religious issue, if you like - I won't argue. (Not because I agree, but because arguing over semantics is boring)

Separate from that, there are issues where the religious people are pretty much all on the same side. My point is, the pro-life side frames abortion as the latter, when it is actually the former. And they do this not out of confusion or misunderstanding, but as a politically useful act. It helps their cause to frame abortion as a religious issue, because if it weren't that, it would be a medical issue or a rights issue or a privacy issue, and virtually any other framing hurts their case.

Like I said, I'm not here to argue semantics. I just thought it was worth pointing out how divided the religious are on this issue, mainly because I wasn't aware until I looked it up.
Batshit left opinion: pro-choice conservatives should be killed. Believe me, I've heard dozens of variations on both sides. The difference is the left is overwhelming supported by all of our cultural institutions so there is a bias against the right across the board.

EDIT: As expected, my centrist and realist take that advocates for both sides coming together gets a downvote. I wonder which side that came from :)

Thanks for this advice. They're a great team, I know they'll move on to bigger and better things; but I know it will be stressful for them in the short term.

Being honest should be easy, because I will lose nothing by doing it.

I've run interviewing workshops in the past; as part of a diversity outreach programme for a FAANG and also just for friends looking for career changes/upgrades. So I'm sure I could put something together for anyone who feels rusty.

Abstinence is a form of contraception. This is gonna get weird.
> The vast vast majority of Americans are ok with contraceptives

The trigger laws that just went into effect in several cases would appear to ban some contraception, like IUDs (or, rather, criminalize it when they work), since they result in termination of pregnancy as the laws define it. (Because they use fertilization, not implantation, as the definition of the start of pregnancy.)

Of course, there's a proof issue for any actual prosecution for homicide, but that's a practical barrier to enforcement that doesn't affect what the law prohibits.

>Right now it's by far the best method to send money accross the globe.

No it is not. In banking and in payments, security typically means that there are guarantees your money will not suddenly disappear or get stolen by hacks and fraud, which cryptocurrencies have zero guarantees against. In fact, it is extremely likely that at some point your money will disappear, because the value of these coins is extremely manipulated. And that is not even getting into the huge number of defi hacks, rug pulls and bankruptcies that have happened recently.
I can assure you I will and in fact have found plenty of takers for my job postings with a niche language. You just need to word the postings appropriately and be willing to teach people what they don't know.
Your point ill suits the topic of discussion, and you're being called out on it. You shouldn't then resort to tribal epithets like "typical conservative", it only diminishes whatever point you were trying to make.

> my point is that our economic system optimises for this eventuality. Again: this isn't controversial, antitrust laws have been in place for a very long time.

This is a very strange argument, the fact that laws exist to prevent/punish something doesn't mean that everyone agrees that society is optimized to cause such eventualities. Laws are on the books in case something "bad" happens, it doesn't mean that society or the economy is structured to hurtle us towards those "bad" situations. It just means, they could happen and we need to deal with them. There are numerous laws against murder, but I doubt anyone would argue that everyone agrees that our society is inexorably optimized towards common and widespread homicidal tendencies.

They get crazy entitled during bear markets. It happened to me with Square in 2011, they wanted like an app to prove my skills just to get an interview. Like a full-on mobile app just to prove how hard I wanted the job.

Thing is, let it be known, every homework you do for a company lowers your salary by 3%. Unless you charge, then it doesn't, it's weird like picking up money off the street. Just bad signaling, it's against your interest.

Good luck finding high quality cheap developers in any language really. Very few good developers are language specific so unless your HM is an idiot and actively screens out candidates without 10 years of previous experience in the specific framework you're using it won't be a limitation. If you want quality developers you need to offer either 1) lots of money, 2) amazing benefits, 3) interesting problems to work on. For many, an interesting language can provide an edge. I chose my current company because I would be working on Scala here as opposed to Java with the other offers I had. The quality of life improvement of the Scala position was enough to take it over the prospect of writing AbstractFactoryBeanImpl for the next few years.
The militia (as opposed to the army) would use personal weapons that they owned for defense of the home, and the Supreme Court has held that those are the arms protected by the 2nd Amendment. From Heller, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf page 59,

"As the quotations earlier in this opinion demonstrate, the inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right. The handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of “arms” that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose.

The prohibition extends, moreover, to the home, where the need for defense of self, family, and property is most acute. Under any of the standards of scrutiny that we have applied to enumerated constitutional rights, banning from the home “the most preferred firearm in the nation to ‘keep’ and use for protection of one’s home and family,”, would fail constitutional muster."

If people had commonly used cannons to protect their homes, maybe tanks would be protected under the 2nd Amendment by their logic.
Thank you for pointing this out, I didn't realize they linked to the complaint at the very bottom.
I think I don't want "more than a hundred" additional points of trust, especially if they're trying to audit 50+ projects with various levels of familiarity each. And no, I don't believe one person can give a real audit to 50 packages each release even if was their actual job.

To paraphrase, all "more than a hundred" of those people need to be lucky every time.

> Is part of the story missing on how google eventually accepted the fake dmca requests?

There isn't really a story here. YouTube just kind of blindly accepts any and all DMCAs regardless of whether the claimant has legitimate ownership or not.

Here's an excerpt from the court filing:

> Ninety-six separate times, Minor used his fake “CSC” Gmail addresses to exploit the hole in YouTube’s DMCA-process security that allows anyone at all to claim to be representing a rights holder for purposes of issuing a takedown, with no real safeguards against fraud.

I'd note that they refer to it as "the" hole

> In its submission, Google notes that more than half (57%) of the takedown notices it has received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act 1998, were sent by business targeting competitors and over one third (37%) of notices were not valid copyright claims.

Everybody in government knew this case was on weak footing and knew it would have likely not survived at some point. That is why it was used as a litmus test for judicial candidates. The problem is most of the public had zero idea how shaky this law really was and bought into the rhetoric that it was settled law.

The ugly truth here is that the democrats own this defeat. All talk and ZERO action. They were content to let this be a flashpoint issue and did not take advantage of federal legislative opportunities to create some legislation to fix the issue. There has probably been enough bi-partisan support and the right political mix in at least 6 congresses over the last 50 years for a federal law to be introduced that would have reaffirmed the base intent of Roe v. Wade (basically allowing access to legal abortion in the first trimester) and would have invalidated the court case entirely as the definition of the issue. Blue states could have create state law to expand beyond the first trimester if desired. It would be a non issue, but instead…we get this. Shame.

Hrrrrm. What kind of crime are these abortion laws?

I'm wondering if this may qualify as aiding and abetting in jurisdiction shopping, and cases brought as such may actually lead to some interesting jurisprudence. Then again, by definition, I suppose this would be Federal jurisdiction as a contention between States, so a case may not go anywhere? Either way, I'd be wary of leaving paper trail through an employer who is going to hand over transaction records as soon as a judicial subpoena comes through. Pay in cash, ladies. Providers, vary your prices.

Anyway, it's unfortunate, but in a way, I think this is a good thing in the sense it may prompt people to undertake legislative action to get bodily sovereignty codified in law.

Judges have no business being anything more than a stopgap in what should be a fundamentally recognized right to bodily autonomy.
Yeah, right.
Like those liars didn’t say in their confirmation hearing that Roe vs Wade was an established precedent and wouldn’t be touched.

An opportunity for me to not hijack the conversation! You brought up for-profit boards! OK, a pet peeve.

They don't seem to suffer any consequences, and yet they really should. Let's look at Yahoo [1]. This is not just a story of Yahoo losing a technology race. It's a story of an incompetent board. The race was already over in 2008:

> Yahoo had a chance to sell for $44.6 billion in early 2008, when Microsoft made an unsolicited offer.

They turned it down. 8 years later:

> Today, Verizon said it is buying Yahoo’s core businesses for $4.83 billion.

So, instead of taking 44 billion when it was offered, they ran it down to less than 5.

Requires either 50 states to change state law, or 3/4 of the states to ratify a federal constitutional amendment. And any of these requires the cooperation of the two parties to make it happen, or voting in their replacements. So it's a really tough nut to crack. It's hard to change the constitution. If 85% of the country had any damn idea how the current system works let alone a modern alternative, it would be straight forward but they don't. And any states that think they will lose their inflated advantage will refuse to cooperate.
