That hasn't been the case for a long time now(at least here in UK). I wouldn't say it's consistently in stock, but 6 out of 7 days of the week you can just buy one somewhere, at RRP. Recently even deals started to appear - RRP with a game or a controller thrown in. Recent restock at Argos and Amazon had stock for literally 2 weeks before they ran out - either they finally caught up with production, or the demand has dried up somewhat. I think it's the latter - everyone I know who wanted a PS5 has already bought one.

In 1976 the law was changed to require 5 years until student loans could be discharged through bankruptcy. In 1990 it became 7 years. In 1998 the waiting period was eliminated, leaving only "undue hardship" as the allowed way to get rid of that debt.

Those waiting periods were put there as a counter to "the obvious play."

Let student loans be dischargable through normal bankruptcy again. If a waiting period of 5 years or 7 years isn't enough, why not?

Why is a potential life-long debt from a mistake made while still a teenager or in one's early 20s that important to maintain?

If it's still so risky, don't issue student loans! If a college education is so important to the country then the government can provide direct funding to the school and students.

Sorry yes, not all food is grown like I've suggested but a lot is.

My wife's family have a food business in Japan and they have better insight into this. The bulk of what they do is source high quality ingredients for restaurants and a fair amount of it is niche. The most memorable were edible flowers from a specific place in Japan, mushrooms from a different corner of the country, specific fish from certain markets, the best cuts of Wagyu beef.

They have a little corner shop too for the locals but in general the produce is many times more expensive than you would see in the West, however the food is delicious all year around not just when it's in season.
It was a real novelty when my mother in law came to visit and was able to buy strawberries for about £4, when in Japan she's used to paying something like £30+.

Carpet bombing can get interviews, but it tends to waste a lot of time and be relatively ineffectual. Last time I looked at getting interviews, a number of the interesting job listings were behind absolutely horrific web sites that basically require mangling all the relevant content from a resume into a web form. Ask around between a few friends and former coworkers on Linkedin and it's pretty easy to get a resume into the hands of the hiring manager bypassing all the HR filtration garbage. From there it becomes an actual two way conversation to figure out if there's a good fit on both sides.

A fetus is not a small child either.
I had the same thought. When some other team comes to me with a non-trivial request, one of the first things I do is check with the product team. Is it part of somebody's roadmap (it's not part of mine, or I'd know about it already)? If so, is it a current thing or a future thing? And do they agree that my team needs to drop our current work?

If it's the product team coming to me, well, that's their job. I just explain what they'd be giving up by changing priorities. Of course, a PM that can clearly articulate a single #1 priority is a rarity, so sometimes this discussion gets a bit heated, but that's part of the job.

And if some other team or product manager went directly to one of my engineers, I'll politely tell them that's not how things work.

Interesting. I was going to complain about the use of the leather "Pickelhaube" helmets on the German side there, but looks like the Stahlhelm was only introduced during the battle of Verdun in 1916 (hence the name M1916). Those Pickelhaube helmets would have been covered with textile in the same color as the uniforms though, and without the characteristic spike (for obvious reasons in trench warfare). The iconic black one was mostly for staff officers and parades in those days (and police).
From a few cases I have seen, it is partly due to the very long service life. New units are substantially different from older ones, particularly in all the bits of it that you do not see as a pedestrian. Often times the retrofit involves a lot of concrete work and other work to adapt the mounting and support points to accommodate the newer designs. Couple this with the fact that you are usually doing the work in sub-optimal conditions because they are trying to keep the rest of the area open for pedestrians, so there is additional safety considerations that you don't have in a new construction install.

More like a landlord doing renovation, feeling the budget crunch, and looking at the calendar and realizing "Oops! I forgot to raise rent in the past 7 years!"

The price increase they're asking for is approximately equal to inflation from 2015-2021. They don't even try to include the last year's inflation.
You need more than just atomic access I think. You need an atomic compare and swap. These are usually a hardware affordance. To properly use them most languages provide an atomic int that expose the hardware version in an ergonomic interface. This is then typically wrapped in a Mutex library that exposes an even more ergonomic interface than the atomic primitive. You can sometimes rely just on the atomic primitive if that's all you need but most of the time you need more.
Yep, and they vary somewhat from person to person. I think it's part of why some people are apparently stronger than they look: longer tendons give more leverage with less muscle mass.
I think thats true when a lateral team is asking for work, but he also lumps in requests from higher-up. The assumption would always be that this person knows the priorities better so is in better position to say if work is urgent. The disconnect with these parties is usually that they forgot you are in the middle of "other thing that is more urgent" or that there will be unwanted downstream impact, and so they can be convinced that actually the new thing is not as urgent.

The gut metabolite indole-3 propionate promotes nerve regeneration and repair
I watched something similar play out once upon a time, albeit not quite to the scale of 19 developers, but rather six developers. I expect a team of 19 would have found a similar fate.

The rework was driven by a desire to move an existing web application to mobile. That was fair enough, I suppose. Given the market they were trying to go after I think that was a reasonable choice. But alongside that it was decided by the powers that be that the entire backend, which was already well abstracted from the frontend and would have transitioned to mobile quite nicely, would be replaced by Firebase to speed up development for the team of junior frontend-focused developers it hired to build the project. That choice was far more dubious, but the leaders were convinced it would speed up development and allow them to hire cheaper workers.

The initial prototype of the rewrite was stood up impressively quickly. However, the weight of the technical debt accumulated during that time saw further development start to crawl to a snail's pace. For example, every little new data access pattern that came up revealed that the database (Firestore) wasn't structured effectively for the use case requiring a lot of work in constantly massaging the data. The automated test suite found in the original was also foregone in the rewrite, which multiplied the manual effort required to verify every change. And there was, simply, a much higher defect rate. Months upon months were spent just fixing bugs.

Long story short, new leadership wanted to focus on mobile and thought they could do it faster and cheaper switching to tech that low-cost developers would be capable of using. One reasonable, in my opinion, choice followed by a whole lot of bad choices. Perhaps that falls under political/ego reasons, but I'm not so sure. The intent was sound, but the execution fell flat.

This seems more directed towards parts of Silicon Valley than the rest of the world. The EU recognized that technology = politics long ago, and has been in a race with China on defining global norms.

The "GDPR effect" will be seen in many other areas in the coming years, and I (as a EU technology-focused diplomat) feel that most US corps haven't realized the scale of what's lurking around the corner.

Some slight spoilers since this is still fresh in my mind -
The long economic expositional passages are boring me and the use of cryptocurrency as one solution just threw me as implausible. The setup and initial attempts at solutions though is intriguing as is the thought it's going to take some other country (not USA/Western europe) to come up with solutions/be motivated to take steps, the terrorism angle seems interestingly uncomfortably close to a Ted Kaczynski or even bin Laden movement that is not explored enough in the first half (there's one mass attack that changes daily life globally).
Just happened to be listening to Dan Carlin's hardcore history about WWI. From memory, the Germans would build multiple railway lines to the front to supply a large offensive like this. And then they'd spend weeks stockpiling ammunition and food using those multiple railway lines. At times this conferred a large advantage to the Germans as parts of the Allies side would be supplied by a single road vs. multiple railway lines.
What's remarkable to me about this is how specialized our shoulder-arm linkage is for overhand throwing.

A lot of the typical difference between the male and female upper body comes down to this specialization. There is some evidence of facial adjustment to punching, but we could hit much harder with a more chimp-like shoulder, this doesn't require knuckle walking: but we wouldn't throw a spear as far nor as accurately.
This is such a ridiculous article. Sure, if you took all your life savings and threw them at one of the most volatile investments available then you probably didn't do well when it crashed. The difference between Ben Thomson and the Winklevii isn't that one of them was rich and took advantage, it's that the Winklevii are diversified and Ben wasn't.

Ben wanted free money, turns out Ben gave other people free money. Why shouldn't people take Ben's free money? He wanted to take theirs.

The GP asked “How does private gun ownership check the government?” The government of Minnesota was checked by private gun owners in 2020.

You may think that waiting to vote at the ballots or having your phone calls dumped to a voicemail and never returned is an appropriate response to being locked up in your own house against your will with the threat of state action if you leave; however, a few people in Minnesota did not think that it was appropriate. So they showed up and they showed up armed.

That’s their right and it’s the right the second amendment protects. You may not like it, but that’s just because you haven't disagreed with the government hard enough yet.
