Mostly the fact that I already had an instance up and running for chatting with some people and because it was pretty trivial to integrate Uptime Kuma with it.

Sending e-mails would have also been a decent idea, but honestly configuring a Mattermost app/account/token is easier than messing around with a new mail account and all of the SMTP settings.

As for Mattermost itself, previously I also enjoyed running Rocket.Chat, though somehow Mattermost felt a bit more like Slack (what I'm used to), runs with PostgreSQL as a backing store and also has the Boards and Playbooks integrations, alongside lots of other goodies.

I do miss the ability to integrate Jitsi or something else in the actual interface like Rocket.Chat did, but it's not really a large problem overall.
But that's just it: bad choices in the social layer become nearly irrevocable once a self-interested, powerful elite emerges. The bad choices put them on top and they will do anything to stay there.
Yeah, the RP2040 has done quite well throughout the chip shortage. That's probably because it's too new to have commercial users (have you ever bought a product at a store that had a RP2040 in it?), but somewhat appreciated in a world where my go-to STM32 chips have an indefinite lead time.
>On a side note, one of the dangers of MLIR as far as I can see is an unfortunate side effect that optimisations performed on the language IR will not be available to other languages which use either LLVM IR or their or MLIR variant. This will either mean there are lost optimisation opportunities, or duplicate effort to port passes to other MLIR variants. That'll be a shame.

If that's a problem then isn't currently also a issue with the other MLIR variants? I also wonder if LLVM couldn't reduce the need for a language fork of MLIR somehow.
Let's be fully clear about this; while Russia's invasion has some direct effects, the bulk of the economic effects are from the response to its invasion, primarily in the form of sanctions on fuel and petroleum derived fertilizers, rather than following as an immediate effect caused by Russia's actions.

The matter of whether or not the response is justified is another matter, but to clearly understand the economic situation it must be recognized that a choice was made regarding a response, and that choice is what has left us with these repercussions.

I think owning information that you should not possess could in theory be just as punishable as sharing the information in the first place. Especially if done on a massive scale.

This already holds for csam imagery.

But I wonder if there is really a market of people exchanging game copy for really high amount with 5 or more digits.

If there's not a market, you can try to create one. Especially if you have a good collection yourself. Hype stuff up on YouTube, talk about it collector forums, drive bids up high on eBay and all of a sudden, you've reset the market. I know it's not that easy, but it's a hustle.

Now that these collectibles are expensive, and talked about as such in mainstream media (like, I don't know, Vanity Fair) so everyone knows they're expensive, all of a sudden they are a status symbol, like a Jackson Pollock or diamond ring.
> shouldn't congress actually hold the hearings, digest the info and go on the record voting for or against important items?

Of course, but this will never happen. So if the only positive outcome of an action is a long tail event, then maybe the action shouldn’t be taken. We have to look at the expected value of this, which is that people less versed than the experts suddenly making decisions they had previously relegated to the experts. Chaos.
They ruled that there is no constitutional guaranteed right to abortion, and in lieu of any federal legislation the decision defaults to the states. They did not rule that the federal government cannot have a say on abortion.
Correction: That's exactly how it worked until a large change in the court composition decided to change the rules.

People like to pretend that SCOTUS decisions are retroactively true, that somehow they're discovering legal nuances previously overlooked.

That's not how it works. As the cliche goes, they're not final because they're right, they're right because they're final.
There's something to be said for rules and policy being adapted to a locale. What's right for people in one region might not work for some in another. You'll get a tyranny of the majority in much of your life the broader you go away from local governance. I agree there's benefit to have federal and international rules and policy but it's more nuanced than just saying sentiments for keeping power at a national level are fascist.

You could rephrase "choosing to be unprofitable" as "spending revenue on more staff and/or higher salaries to retain them" for software businesses. Or in the case of Atlassian, acquisition.
Then don't use the system ?
> it's actually bad to be profitable when you're growing

VCs love risk. They will want to dramatically reduce your chances of a small positive outcome if it means a increase on your (always small) chances of a huge positive outcome.
> Are MBAs still taught the duties of leadership? Or are they just told to get out with enough cash for their next venture?

Actively taught or not, capitalism specifically optimizes for the latter.
> Funny thing is jira is such a mess Atlassian introduced jira service desk more focused on tickets while the former can also do that.

Not quite. Service Desk (aka Service Management today) has a number of capabilities that differ quite significantly from Jira Software. The most obvious is the end-user facing help portal. But how users are managed is quite different, it has SLAs, different reporting, a knowledge base, etc. Just like Jira Software is flexible but tailored to software teams with boards, backlogs and sprints, Jira Service Management is tailored to IT teams and requirements specific to that market.
It is rare for the Supreme Court to act as a second Congress. When it has, those are the cases that most likely get overruled. Additionally, old cases with poor and antiquated assumptions get overturned (not relevant here, just showing a consistency in what is and can be expected to be reviewed.)

Opposing sides of that court have said the exact same thing about Roe v Wade. Ruth Bader Ginsberg even said "this is pretty weak, going to need Congress here", no different than Justice Alito on the opposite side.

I think your perspective is very common, I think it is disingenuous for different people that should know better to promote that perspective. There is so much the elected representatives and the people can do. This crisis of confidence perspective relies on nobody actually reading these cases.
From the very first paragraph of your link.

> Trump is a significant underdog — he has a 13 percent chance of winning the election according to our polls-only model and a 23 percent chance according to polls-plus. But those probabilities aren’t that small. For comparison, you have a 17 percent chance of losing a “game” of Russian roulette.

A) Their more advanced model gave Trump a 23% chance, the 13% chance you mention is their simpler model.

B) Things with a 23%, 13%, and 7% chance happen all the time

C) You often have a better understanding of events after they happen relative to before.

If you want to show a predictor is unreliable, you need to look at a bunch of their predictions and see how they perform in aggregate. While also considering how correlated the results are (and, if applicable, predicted to be)
> Cost of goods sold is always deducted before reporting revenue

According to whom?

Did you mean "Gross income", not "revenue" ?

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.asp

> COGS is deducted from revenues (sales) in order to calculate gross profit and gross margin. Higher COGS results in lower margins.

> Amazon

In $Billons:

Sales/Revenue +469 Top line
COGS incl. D&A -272 Reductions
Gross Income =197

SG&A Expense -172

(leading to $25-$50B bottom line income depending on which reductions you care about)
Even if that was true, which it isn't, the interpretation of the constitution undeniably is.
Scarcity isn't 100% important for value - leverage is. Leverage can be tied to scarcity, but doesn't have to, it all depends on the goods which are being exchanged. Artworks exist just once, coupled with the attributed prestige the value increases. Guns exist a bunch, their price doesn't scale relative to their scarcity. Food is not priced relative to the amount on the market, but to the demand of the consumer. If the demand is high and so is scarcity, the price rises, but if demand is low but scarcity is high, the price stays low. [...]
Tbh I’d much prefer a well designed digital ID system that has privacy protections built in rather than what we’re getting in the UK which is weird digital ID being brought in through the back door with proprietary products like Yoti [1] getting government support.

I've only configured a handful of throat mics, but they actually are designed to be used when you're speaking at a whisper. That's one of the main features, you're not grabbing a handset and shouting into a directional microphone off your shoulder.

Stare decides bound Casey, at least. It's never before been ignored when it established a new individual right (Dobbs overturns precedent to remove a right, which has never been done before). This really can't be minimized as "Courts gonna Court".
NYC makes the rules for NY state. And the people of Buffalo, Plattsburg, etc, etc, aren't exactly happy with that or benefiting from that. They have more industrial economies than downstate does and they are kneecapped hard by some of downstate's economic policies.

States that are economically and politically dominated by a single economic zone are a great examples of why minority contingents need strong veto power.

Honestly, your sample doesn't sound very good. It's a bit better than the other samples that have been linked in this thread, and you're perfectly audible, but it's very muffled and there are noises that sound like the throat-mic equivalent of cable noise. If I head this on a call I'd assume you were using a particularly bad laptop mic or gaming headset.

Not bad enough that I'd comment on it, but if I knew you'd gone to the trouble of a custom setup with elaborate extra adapters etc, I'd expect it to sound excellent (like a podcast mic or similar).
I don't think so. Apparently, by my understanding, the issue in this decisions was not regulation of a particular coal plant's emmissions but of pushing utilities to add green capacity to offset GHG emmissions.
> innovators are constantly having to justify ... This is how we innovate

Quite the opposite.

Having to explain the benefits of an idea do not thwart innovation - if anything it promotes it.

Fix the SCOTUS. I like the proposal to have term limits (long ones, maybe 20 years) and increase the number of justices so that every four years two of them are replaced by the sitting president.
One of Aston Martin's aerodynamicist is ex-Red Bull... the "B" version of this year's Aston Martin looks extremely similar to the Red Bull car. Aston have yet to match the performance of RB; although Vettel has placed the new car higher in the points that the "A" version.

They've announced many new parts for this weekend's race; we'll see if AM can close the gap to the top teams with a Newey-trained (?) aerodynamicist who's not Newey and (presumably) has no access to him.

Doesn’t matter much: Damage done; you can even see from other comments here already. They probably didn’t check the so called contract linked, much less the article itself which is pretty, pretty light on any kind of legitimate details.

Complain, I don’t know, about actually having a contract with ICE, perhaps? More meaningful that whatever the article complained about. I would complain about what the quote from the spokesperson really mean, that doesn’t really say what the product does, making us look at the contract to even try to get a proper summary.
There's not much democracy in the EU, and that's by design.

I'm only surprised they haven't got rid of the ability of countries to secede the union yet. I'm guessing all these pushes for further integration are an attempt at de facto making it impossible to secede, even if not legally.
There's many regular investment vehicles that you can invest in where this also applies. This is not a crypto or Coinbase problem.
Over 60% of the US population think abortion should be legal.
More than half of US states are (or are very likely) to institute abortion bans.

Few counterpoints:

- Your entire theory relies on VCs having some power over decisions being made at Atlassian. That isn't the case. The founders of Atlassian have always been in control. After taking VC money and going public, they still have over 80% of the voting shares [0].

- A downturn of 5+ years would be the longest downturn in the USA in the last 100 years [1]. Anything is possible but it's unlikely to be that bad.

No. I'm willing to stand that the majority of the population will agree that outright lying about numbers on your tax forms to "lower your bill" is wrong.
Keep in mind that for every 1% of GDP of public spending you cut, you're going to cut GDP by a little more than 1% (more like 1.2%), which will then cut the federal revenue by an additional .3% of GDP.

You just cannot cut spendings during a recession unless you want to go straight to disaster. Greece is a great example of that.

> In the US, if you taxed the top 1% at 100% (and it somehow didn't have massive second order effects) you would only generate about $800 billion in tax revenue.

Which also means that by getting back to the post New Deal tax level (~80%) on those people alone, you'd get $640 billion! And I'm not talking about some communist fantasy (like your 100%), I'm talking about Nixon's tax policy!

Having done so in the decade prior to the pandemic would have massively improved things with regard to the current federal debt.

And how about taxing fortune 500 companies to the levels they're supposed to be taxed? That's also hundreds of billions missing every year.

> Regardless of one's feelings on raising taxes, solely raising taxes is simply not enough to get rid of deficit spending.

But that's just factually not true! even with the mere tax experiment I did above (that is, without making Apple pay their taxes) you can bring the US budget close to an equilibrium in the 2000-2020 era, despite the 2008 crisis and its costs!

That's OK if a government runs a budget with a deficit during a crisis (like the pandemic, or financial crisis), it's not OK that the US (and most western governments actually) have been running with a deficit during the 2012-2020 era, because of tax cuts on the wealthiest. That's how we ended up where we are now.

Government deficit are a political choice, since the 80s we've decided to borrow money instead of getting it trough taxes, but the money was there all along.
Running a business is more than just engineering.
on the other hand, there have been confrontations with the judicial branch Supreme Court and others in the past, just not seriously in living memory. I was surprised to find in Wikipedia a discussion of changing the number of judges in the pre-WWII era also ("court packing").
Yes and the recent stuff with the wife of a SCOTUS justice involved in conspiracy to overturn an election is definitely a sign of hyper partisanship.
There are other more practical examples too. For a time, the banks in the United States would issue their own paper currency that could be redeemed at the bank. The paper money traded up or down based upon the reputation of the bank and, to some extent, the distance to the nearest branch. It's pretty much an exact analogy to the world of alt coins, except the physical details like the location of the bank made a difference.
Is Slack expensive?

I was chatting with a friend and discovered her office spend $4000/month on office plants. The office has 1500 people. That includes the pots, and replacing them if they're sick or die. But bringing your own plant to work was banned because of the clean desk policy.

Another location in her company installed a 'vertical garden' (a wall, a good sized wall but not huge wall, roughly twice the height of whoever was standing in front of it, with a garden on it, even a mini stream) for over a hundred of thousand dollars.

I don't have a strong preference for Slack or Teams; I preferring email and telephone but either Teams or Slack are more productive than talking to a plant.

Perhaps the expense isn't the product, but worrying about how to use it. OC was often more than enough. And probably still would be.
Artemis I: We are capable
You're putting a lot of faith into manuals for mass produced household appliances. All that holds true to a first order, but the actual thermodynamics going on is certainly way more complex than what's captured in a consumer facing manual. When discussing the relative freeze times of a modest amount of water for the purposes of a science experiment, the transient higher order effects are going to be an important factor.
It's a sentiment that I've heard a lot - Zabbix focuses a lot on a core set of functionality, which is mostly just monitoring the state of some number of servers/VMs, with some optional integrations.

While the metrics that come out of the box are nice, everything does feel a bit cumbersome, personally - such as creating network maps (which aren't automatically generated), dashboards for getting input on CPU/RAM/storage at a glance, as well as viewing web monitoring statistics.

Actually, previously I used it for web monitoring, though for some reason by default it does not allow you to have triggers for those that would send an e-mail once a site goes down, even if the performance information and configuration was passable.

But overall it's just views after views, nested inside of tables with weird UI/UX choices, such as having Update/Add buttons, both of which are necessary to persist changes (for example, in the web monitoring section when adding new monitoring steps and also wanting to save those changes).

Like another commenter suggested, there are systems out there that make ingesting and visualizing data more easy and sometimes also more pleasant... Though personally Zabbix is fine for what I need.

Congress won't act, the Executive isn't permitted to do much even with what they were given by Congress, and the People are powerless to do anything unless 100% of them vote, which never happens, and even then may be overruled in many places.

No future for any of us I guess.
> because it requires introspection, egolessness and actual work, the sorta stuff that is rare in upper management

It also may reduce the need for middle and upper management.

In fact, if you give people some confidence that they won't be fire and instead you will use their work on some more valuable action, ICs will line up on your door with ideas on how to cut their processes. But management won't.
I would guess just having a lot of blockchain experts on staff, and since the blockchain is pretty much an open, unencrypted, public ledger; analyzing it is a pretty natural and not entirely unethical thing to do.

I think the issue is really just working with ICE, and the ethical concerns that brings up.
The traditional financial system and the political system it rests on are too unstable.
