This is the beginning of the great dealer attrition. With EV's not having all the oil changes, muffler changes, cat converter changes and with braking accomplished about 50% regeneratively and 50% friction based - fewer brake jobs - all little dealer support cash cows, and now Ford will sell direct as Tesla pioneered it must happen. It will operate is parallel with IC car declines, so that in ~~30 years dealers will be mostly gone. They will have to manage a declining industry along with gas stations, as charging stations emerge - some will switch, some will fold - all will lobby their elected parasites...

>> Who's doing the collecting often matters much more than what is actually collected

>> The important context here is we seem to be transitioning away from the era of kumbaya free market globalism into an era of tenser geopolitical rivalries and more conflict.

> Correct, therefore far more attention ought be put to domestic corporate and government spying on the public because they have got a far stronger leverage over the public's mind than foreign companies whom do not

You're missing the point, so I quoted the context again for emphasis.

To make it more explicit: the fact that US has leverage over Facebook means it's far less likely that Facebook's data collection will be used to attack US interests. That's why TikTok's collection is different, from the perspective of the US and allied countries.

You can make a pretty close personal analogy: I don't care as much if a close family member collects real time location data of my movements, because I trust they don't have incentives to use it in particular ways that are very harmful to me. I care a lot more if a personal or business rival collects the same data, because their incentive is to use it in the context of their rivalry to harm me or prevent me from achieving some of my goals.
>"i think the only possible lesson here is: if you send a generation ship to alpha centauri, you better make sure they all have at least one common language."

It's important to note that just because a CEL is on for a sensor, it doesn't mean that sensor is bad and needs to be replaced. For example, it's possible for a camshaft position sensor to be on for a timing system that is out of sync. It would be a mistake to replace the cam sensor in that scenario. Shotgunning parts isn't always the answer...
> and yet the fertility rate of married women is much higher than the fertility rate of unmarried women. It's a complicated picture.

Doesn't sound complicated to me? People think of "get married and have kids" as a single, atomic life stage. People not only wait to have kids until they get married; they wait to get married until they're ready to have kids.

But really, it's not that either of those is the blocking factor per se; rather, they just don't identify yet as being "an adult" of the kind that gets married and has kids — i.e. they don't think that they're yet at the maturity+stability threshold that they observed the previous generation of "adults" as having while growing up. (One crucial factor in that model per the current generation modelling on the previous generation: "can I buy a house to have a family in?" Keeps getting more out-of-reach!)

Until they pass this threshold into whatever their mental-schema-model of adulthood entails, they will probably continue to think of themselves as "a young adult" — a very accessible concept in our culture — even well into their 30s. "Young adults" don't get married or have kids; they just work for a living, have fun in the evenings, and try to find someone to cohabitate with. As long as people identify more closely with the "young adult" schema they've built than the "adult" schema, the "young adult" things are all they'll do.

Once they do pass this threshold and identify as "an adult", though, they're fine with doing the things that "adults" do.

(One thing that makes this narrative/hypothesis compelling, to me, is that in cultures that place an emphasis on religion + family values + etc, where there isn't really a concept of a "young adult", people are much more willing to both get married and have kids as soon as they're teenagers — because by doing so they aren't skipping a societally-glorified "young adult" stage, but rather just stepping into the stage they expect to come next after teenagerdom: "adulthood".)

> but how is any of that the seller’s fault?

I never said it was. It's the buyer's fault. Caveat emptor.

They have choices. They could have purchased a home in the suburbs but chose to purchase within the Seattle city limits, where the homes and neighborhoods are much older and the infrastructure is dilapidated. The home almost assuredly has no air conditioning, and depending on the year it was built, the electrical is probably outdated as well. Bonus points if it has a buried heating oil tank in the front yard, which a lot of homes in Northgate do, which they'd have to remedy and do an environmental cleanup for.

The article seems to indicate they are WFH tech employees who do "six hours of [Zoom] calls a day" so they could have lived literally anywhere in the metro area. Buying in this neighborhood was a lifestyle choice. They chose to live closer to "city fun" in exchange for shitty internet. I live in the sticks. My neighbors work for Google. We both have gigabit-class internet. We compromised; driving into the city with traffic sucks beyond comprehension.

Entitlement to Comcast internet is pretty low on the list of concerns if you're insisting on buying in that neighborhood.

Certainly they do not have to follow illegal orders or commit crimes. Presidents are not absolute monarchs. The Secret Service is not the President’s private army to stage insurrections.

Your assessment is too simplistic and naive. And presidential power is limited. It’s not at all obvious that the President should have any kind of right to go wherever he or she pleases.

Especially impairing one of the co-equal branches is obviously something that just cannot be legal or else that would just be a huge contradiction.

It sounds like they should have paid to keep you.

That said, I've written software that I would expect would require more engineers to keep around long term, in production. Better testing, security, reliability, scalability, maintainability. I can say this without disparaging my own work (well, I probably deserve at least a little criticism) or the people who took over the project.

Some software developers are really ingenious but a bit too undisciplined, great at understanding the business environment, and good enough at overall coding and architecture that what they build can be put into production without great risk or reliability, albeit with notable technical debt. In short, they actually build the tire rope swing,and without this kind of developer, the tire swing will never be built. It simply will not result from the 19 developer team you mentioned.

But it takes a very different kind of discipline to convert this into something that can work long term, and sometimes people are genuinely shocked to discover how much it will actually cost to make that rope swing safe and reliable in the long term.

By the way, I do want to make sure I emphasize that this isn't necessarily what happened in your case. Based on past experience, I have little trouble believing that you were simply replaced by a very expensive large team that didn't accomplish as much as you did along almost every axis, from maintainability to security to business relevance to innovation.
Nothing less than the output of the command "cal -3" is acceptable. In fact I have aliased cal to "cal -3" on my terminal.
The context you're presenting is different from the one presented by GP. Making a few generous assumptions, both GP and the team started from the same point (requirements) and made a similar system, same inputs, same outputs. If that is the case, doing it in a shorter timeframe, while alone compared to a team of devs is insane.

I don't necessarily buy GP's story, but it's not the same story as "reading up and extending a system is harder than making a system", where group B would have a different starting point as group A.
This comment makes it pretty clear you don't use tiktok or have a very clear understanding of its content. A huge portion of content is political, and especially divisive. People are constantly targeted with content that either reinforces or insults their more extreme political beliefs. This is exactly how personal data is being used against individuals - to target divisive political content and maximize political angst. It's clearly working.

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/38701/how-to-calcul...

Though, there are other ways to derive it. My personal opinion is that the vector and matrix calculus derivations in the book are too verbose, but this style may be more comfortable for some readers. My personal opinion is that the semidefinite and cone optimization communities have more concise ways of deriving these kind of derivatives and relationships. For example, this can be seen in Boyd and Vandenberghe's Convex Optimization or Ben-Tal and Nemirovski's Lectures on Modern Convex Optimization.

> The Ford shifter is nothing like it. My favorite thing about it is that there seems to be (maybe) some torque-induced flex between the gearbox and shifter that makes it naturally slide and "fall" into the correct next gear

I also have an ST. I highly suggest replacing the shifter with an aftermarket short throw shifter or the shifter bracket. I think you'll like it even more. I've owned several cars with manual transmissions, and one of my biggest complaints about the ST was the stock shifter. It doesn't struggle to get into gear, but it felt light, soft and mushy compared to my other cars. I replaced mine with a short throw from Steeda and it helped a lot, but still lacks the solid bolt-action rifle feeling I was used to.

The ST is a killer deal with serious performance for its price, but if you want a taste for what else is affordable out there and a step up try out a car with a Tremec TR6060 transmission[1]. They are one of the best manual transmissions on the market today and can take a beating. You should easily be able to find one on Turo if you live near any major city.

> Navy SEALS exemplify this idea. Strict hierarchy dominates out in the field: When a leader says go left, they go left. But when the team returns for debrief, “they literally leave their stripes at the door,” says Greer. The hierarchy disappears; nobody is a leader, nobody a follower. “They fluidly shift out of these hierarchical structures,”

This sounds ideal, but I wonder what their secret is to pulling it off in practice.

In my experience, when companies try to create a meeting to encourage "open discussion" where everyone has an equal voice, the hierarchies are still plainly obvious even if we pretend they are not. Egos, company politics, etc. are definitely not left at the door.

The harm that social media platforms cause is not necessarily derived from the politics of their employees, for a few reasons:

1. People adopt political views that they do not act upon consistently.

2. The structure of a particular business can force it to act in contradiction to its political beliefs.

In other words, Meta can say it supports whatever social justice initiative it likes while still acting to the detriment of the groups it claims to protect. The actual business it runs is one where the most profitable thing to do is to screw over the mental health of teenagers because it "boosts engagement". Those teenagers are not anguishing over being "too equal", they are bullying each other with exactly the same cudgels that the social justice left would rather get rid of. Children are bastards, and the business of giving social media accounts to children is profiteering off of making it easier for children to be bastards to one another.
