Yes, people who work at the corporation, the people who will be fired from the corporation if they do not comply. Everyone who works at the Amazon earns money from the profit they make and they will pay the most to people who will make these sociopathic choices.

> Confluence is actually fine

Confluence is the single, worst Atlassian product, in my opinion. I describe it as a wiki written by someone who has never used a wiki. It seems like everything about it is wrong in some way, and it's painful to use.
https://github.com/Toreno96/dotfiles/blob/master/commands.tx...

Beware: I started this long before I became a fan of markdown, so the syntax of the whole file could seem as pretty weird, but it works for me. I mainly do `rg <pattern> ~/commands.txt` in shell or `/<pattern>` in vim when I need to find something in there.

There are also definitely too much commands dumped into the `Etc` section. I should reorganize this some day.

True that, but it's not their fault, it's just their turf. They need to solve business needs for core processes in a sufficiently generic way to be applicable to any big enterprise. The only way to achieve this is through heavy configuration/parameterization.

If it's not that easy to solve, the answer won't matter.
Me neither. S/360 was CISC by every definition. It was a pretty clean design and could scale from small to big systems. Over time it acquired instructions to achieve things in hardware as desired by its designers and users.

I think they were really poking fun at RISC and how complicated the instruction sets became to support real world desires. We're a long way from the MIPS R2000.
I've been self-hosting meshcentral for many months now. Been mostly solid, except for the following criticism:

- top notice bar is too big and blocks browser tabs when remoting in (ideally it should be like teamviewer/RDP notification bar, able to be dragged around and compacted)
- there's a bug where if you click the top bar a few times it'll freeze and crash, forcing a reconnect of the session (it's a logged bug on github, probably will be fixed soon™)
- can't ctrl-c/v during remote session (but can use the clipboard tool with a few mouse clicks
- UI leaves a bit to be desired, but the features for remoting in are there and work. I'm glad meshcentral exists.

Otherwise I'm more than happy to not use Teamviewer and not support their scummy tactics.

Also might be worth looking at rustdesk.

You can argue that they trust developers to be responsible. Having a user friendly and powerful SDK with tons of possible data points isn't inherently a bad thing. All of the features could be used in a responsible fashion, and FB thinks you're smart enough to do so.

I'm not entirely convinced of this personally, but it seems like a somewhat sound argument. I think that they know that it will inevitably be misused, and that they have enough incentive for allowing the misuse to continue.
> An interest rate increase on the order of 2% is laughably small in that context.

When rates increase from 1% to 3%, the present value of a very long stream of future cashflows drops by a factor of three, which is not small. But you're right, it pales compared to the uncertainty embedded in the "1000x".

> That is, CTOs and CPOs loved Atlassian’s revolutionary Jira product so much, it was able to grow virally and organically

> Here people talk a lot about creating a good product, code quality, etc. It doesn't matter. You don't need to build a great product

You really haven't disproven that CTOs and CPOS loved the product initially, which I believe to be true.

So yes, you do need to build a great product at the beginning. Then at enough scale, your product can become shit in some ways, and you can focus on sales.

But the article's thesis is that Jira did not start as a shit product.

You could read the financial news, for example in the Wall Street Journal. With an online brokerage account at Merrill Edge, you get access to Merrill Lynch/BoA analyst reports, and with Schwab you get access to Credit Suisse. Such reports discuss the factors that affect the prices of individual stocks. However, since the financial markets are close to efficient, it is difficult to use such information to make money. If you can, you should consider getting a job on Wall Street.

I believe that in email-land what you describe is usually referred to as labels rather than tags. Many email providers use labels under the hood for everything, Gmail being the most famous one. For instance the Inbox is just a collection of emails with the "new" label attached.

You can of course define your own labels, for example:

- https://fastmail.blog/productivity/fastmail-labels

- https://support.google.com/mail/answer/118708

Caveat, labels may be a bit clunky when using thrid-party clients and IMAP.

> Money and accolades are bullshit ideas that do not objectively exist.

Here's a different way to look at money. In the 1800's the British were consistently a few decades of everyone else, so that century was also called Pax Britannica. What they had and the rest of the world did not have was a vibrant financial market. London was the banking city of the world. All the money in the world was going through the London banks.

Maybe money does not objectively exist, but it helps tremendously to organize complex societies.

The last race had some truly horrendous decision making by the race director, which led to Verstappen / RBR being gifted the race.

That is very different to cheating. There is no question that Verstappen raced well, and was within the rules. He did not cheat.

Whether the last race ended with a fair outcome is questionable, but if not, the fault lay with the race director, not Verstappen and RBR

How do you measure "cheaper than nuclear"? How much is a life of a dead 10 year old cobalt miner worth in accounting terms? Whatever the price of a coffin is in Africa? What about the ecosystem destruction such mining causes, who is going to put the dollar figure on that?

I don't think we even have enough proven mineral reserves to supply sufficient battery storage to supplement the renewable aka unreliable grid, and hydro dams aren't always right nearby to pump the storage. Long haul transmission eats up huge chunks of generated energy too.

I don't get this weird fetish with fields upon fields of solar panels and windmills, vs a relatively very tiny building that produces gigawatts constantly for several decades.

Why is it better to destroy ecosystems, to destroy fields and kill birds? Just to assuage some irrational phobia around the same thing that's literally heating the Earth's crust?
I don't think it's people's beliefs that are the problem here (and agree with you that make-believe is fine). It's the implications of what a sentient AI would actually mean.

Many of us grew up with movies like Wargames and Terminator, so it's easy to see how people make the leap from 'is this machine sentient' to 'machines will take over the world'. That said, it's still a knee jerk reaction at this point - we don't have sentient AI, so don't have to worry about it eventually wiping out humankind.
Even in Japanese it has the same context.

When a company simply chooses not to do something, they often use 致しません。When they use 出来ません it would mean not possible (eg unable to ship an order due to time constraints) or because they want to pretend it’s too difficult and unreasonable of a request.
I don't think one needs to be an actuary to appreciate that comparing the mortality rate of solo founders with the failure rate of VC backed companies doesn't make sense.

So on the one hand you lament that EU commissioners are voted in by party blocs in the EU parliament. And yet on the other hand you say that people vote for parties in the UK (they don't they vote for MPs, regardless of their party affiliation is written on the ballot), and that this is good.

My point is that both systems are fallible and susceptible to both group influence (think peer pressure or the less charitable group think) and the influence of special interests; both good and bad.

As to economic harm, it is measurable and has been measured; even the Bank of England says that the UK will suffer more than other G7 and EU nations due to the current supply side inflation. The World Bank, the IMF, and many maket research firms have said very similar things based on economic data (FDI, trade flows, GDP, etc). If you want to eat a jam doughnut with extra cream and sprinkles, great, own it. Just don't be surprised if someone mentions that it isn't as good for you as a stick of celery.

Those tools should probably be designed to handle super sensitive data, if they are handling super sensitive data.

And, user behaviour on a website can very well be confidential, for example they could easily track the cognitive decline of users over time as mouse movement gets more erratic and reactions slow down - super sensitive information if you ask me. The reason a person is a customer is because they might buy a thing, not to be analyzed.

I used Azure Dev Ops at my last job! I thought it was fine – though I think some aspects of it weren't intuitive (maybe an unsolvable problem for a PM tool). Our team standups occasionally included someone discovering a useful Dev Ops feature that was simply hidden too well.

> That's fine. But does anyone actually think the world BTC price is being manipulated?

Hum, yes, I mean, it's not even a matter of believing it or not, it's well known fact. We had at least 5 BTC flashcrashes in 2021, caused by massive sell-off from individual holders, which often trace back to crypto funds.

Bear with me though, I'm not saying the overall BTC price is manipulated _all the time_. What I'm saying is that there are a _lot_ of individual BTC spot markets, with very different liquidity, market makers, and participants.

Some players have historically manipulated BTC in the past, and will likely continue in the future. The reason of these sell-off are open to speculation, but are often attributed to tentatives of triggering short squeezes by mass liquidation. Or just triggering a massive buy back from others stop losses. etc

These types of manipulations are possible only when an individual holder can have a significant market impact because of the low liquidity present in the book, or if market makers have loose liquidity constraints. Both are true for pretty much all BTC spot markets.

The future market is largely unaffected since there's so much more liquidity on BTC futures, no holder could dry it out in an instant. Also, in the case of CME futures, the participants are regulated, so market manipulation is pretty much out of reach anyway and would instantly trigger an investigation.

At the time of this writing, there's just ~$700k on the top of the spot BTC/USDT book of Binance, while there's around $6M on the perpetual future book. Imagine how dry the fiat USD book would be. Anyone with $500k worth of BTC would crash it at will.
This is like asking do I trust a loan shark. Yes some are probably just in it for a 10% return and will be on their way and some want your first born to work for them.

As with borrowing any money or taking any investment. Do some research about the investor and if in doubt try to reach out to an independent expert for an opinion on an offer in principle. If they're offended you do this you probably don't want to risk working with them.

Well, I'm certainly not going to chase your idea of value. Seriously speaking, though: money and accolade are both social abstractions. Humans are animals of social abstraction, so it's kind of silly to state things that matter to us the most, don't objectively exist. Evolution can have a hierarchy, multiple layers of the onion. Faster the memes, faster the organism can reach a position where they can out-compete the environment.

If you are a pingdom clone then sure! I will easily be able to move to another pingdom clone.

If you send my emails, I can move too bit with a bit more pain and maybe some spam reputation issues.

If you organise all my teams work that is more of a headache to move off of.

If you provide a very specific breeof cloud platform, like a Firebase clone, and I am coded up to the eyeballs with a tight coupling to your api, I would be way more wary. If you go down so do I for quite some time.

But if your cloud is just a faster PostgreSQL then maybe that is not so bad.
If the entire company was just you and me, that'd be very tedious but otherwise fine. But even software companies have non-software people on their staff, who are less likely to know how Git works, but can spot some problems we developer folks can't see.

I was in the middle of one of these ethically questionable decisions at Amazon many years ago. Let me explain.

Some people are simply sociopaths and do not care- whatever makes money and gets them promoted is fine by them. Some just ignore the problem and defer to those above them: if <senior leader> says it's okay, I guess we have to do it. And some will churn the entire problem in their head until they can justify it. They find some reason why this makes sense because 'if you think about it, really it's better this way'. Takes a lot of work, but they find a reason.

And that's human nature. People want to believe they are good people, they don't want to lose their job, and they want to find an excuse for taking part in unethical projects.

I feel good that I stood up for what I believed in and left rather than participate. Because in the end, the Government decided that Amazon was wrong on that particular call: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/2021/02/02/amazon-se...
