I’m a technical EM, hopefully a good one, and I think having the skills and experience helps me a lot. That said, I’ve never tried to actually code something that went into production. That feels like a line I should only cross if it’s something arbitrary and random.

This felt uncomfortable at first, but having a strong dependency on the engineers (by not having a working development environment, really digging into the coding-specific things, or giving actual PR reviews, etc.) has actually really helped me not venture too close to what the engineers are doing. So even as a technical manager, I stay the fuck away. I get signal through other engineers. Most engineers won’t tolerate shitty code, so this works fine.

It forces me to rely and trust them for all of those things, which I think creates the symbiotic relationship between EM and IC. Any EM who does not embrace the idea of their engineers being better than them and does not think their success is directly tied to their engineers’ success is a shit EM. I read so many stories about shitty EMs on this site and it makes me sad for my craft.

>>trying to settle into a "lowest energy state" possible?

What if its actually the reverse: Its attempting and succeeding to be the most it can be given the eddy of forces around it - the particle is "becoming" - not "falling apart"
Not really. It can still be a walled garden if there is an opt out option, so you can still be able to be inside it but with the option to go out of it and be able to sideload/use different app stores. Also the Apple app store will definitely still be the main source as people usually don't switch that easily for almost no benefit.
No one will force you use a different app store as well.
It is the case that particles always try to settle into the lowest energy, and the more options they have the faster. We may be able to engineer places where they're stable, like in the example from my grandparent of a neutron. They are unstable since their mass is greater than the mass of a proton and an electron combined, but they're stable in all common elements we're used to. So much so that we think of radioactive elements as the exception, but (mostly) all that's happening there (in beta decay) is a neutron decaying.
I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine making a stable situation for a heavier particle much harder than just making an atom, and the fine grained control is even hard still.
The PS5 hardware is already profitable (well, the more expensive one at least). Well, it was before the inflation ramped up at least. But still, even if sideloading was possible on the PS5, PlayStation Store revenue would not dip down to nothingness.

The constitutional right to privacy is, specifically, a right to government non-interference in matters considered to be private.

That the surveillance apparatus might know you visited a doctor, and what you discussed, does not grant the government the ability to prosecute you based on that information - because it is considered to be a matter of the private activities of a citizen.

i.e. who or how you have sex is between you and your partner(s) provided everyone consents - the matter remains private, even if in the course of doing so someone tapes it or something.
"Put in the work same as everyone else" seems, potentially, a bit off to me. Farming, by its nature, may involve more pollution than other professions. For example, a programmer working remotely emits very little nitrogen relative to a farmer, but it would be odd to say that the programmer is putting in the work on nitrogen emissions.

This. Social Media has advanced the fiefdoms at an alarming rate. No matter how strange or out of touch your ideas, you can find similar people to reinforce them. When your only connection is with people that agree with you it becomes 'us vs them' and extremely insular. Throw in 'click bait' news and you have a growing level of fear and uncertainty that adds to the comfort of staying within your tribe.

Civil society takes work and we aren't doing that work in the US right now. No one wants to discuss things, they just want to yell down the other person. We need to get out on the front porch and talk instead of posting from our basements.

> Apple has completely forgotten their privacy bargains in China when their profits were threatened.

Couple of things here. First, I live in America so I don't really care and apparently the Chinese people for whatever reason want to live in that privacy hellscape. Second, Apple unfortunately (like many corporations) is not in a position to dictate privacy regulations to the Chinese government. The interactions here, frankly, are complicated so I'm not really buying this as a valid criticism w.r.t the App Store. If you really want to try and take a moral high ground here, well, let me know when the EU stops supporting genocide in Xinjiang. I'll wait.

(but it's complicated, so let's not sling mud here alright?)

> They've also special-cased their own Ad data collection (a business that's growing in revenue) to be opt-out.

Yes, and I don't like this. It's something I agree with criticizing Apple for.

Similarly: "They're an unaccountable and unelected corporation, not a government"

Yes. And? They're ahead of government regulation here (in many instances and in many countries). You're framing this as if my choices are an unelected corporation and a government, but we're just switching between one unelected corporation (Apple) and others (Facebook, et al).

> I honestly don't understand your penchant to cross your fingers and hope a for-profit corporation will protect you over actually ensuring they do via privacy legislation.

We are not talking about GDPR or "socialism" or whatever. We're talking about regulating Apple so that other mega corporations can create their own app stores on iOS and then do whatever they want. You're just wrestling control away from one mega corporation that ostensibly has some sort of values that align with the interest of the public and giving it to other mega corporations that, as far as I can tell, don't.

Our company is closing in on 100 employees and we use Fastmail. We don't miss the cloud integrations that google workplace, etc. have, but I personally do miss the UI and UX polish that gmail had.

+ Calendar sharing in the organization is opt-in, so it can force more coordination to make a meeting. Maybe that's a good thing?

+ Other peoples' calendars often appear in the same color as mine, so if I have somebody else's calendar in my view I might think I've been invited to a ton of meetings.

+ Email contacts are weird in a way that I can't quantify. With gmail, when I hired somebody, I often ended up with both their personal email and their work email in my address book. Gmail knew to default to the work email after they were hired. Fastmail does the opposite so I have to remember to delete my new employees' personal emails from my contacts so that I don't accidentally send invites to the wrong address.

All that said keyboard control of fastmail is cooler than gmail and the rules are really fun to work with. I like that you can use sieve rules with it. In fact the lack of tight integration makes it easier to use different services for different things. No longer do I have to unselect "make this a google meet" link or whatever that was.
Yeah, wanted to say the same thing. If latency is the only problem, just batch up the updates and replay on the other end. If bandwidth also becomes a problem, only then start compressing the data. But to be honest, if we can stream video over the internet, we surely have enough bandwidth to stream cursor positions.
A blanket rule on data collection isn't tampering with evidence. They are not examining the particular information they are deleting in order to determine whether it is potentially evidence.

If you see the map of ESA, something is going totally out of control in the Netherlands:
https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2019/03/Nitrogen_d...

Any local species of plants, insects, birds will be wiped out and we will get back a totally different ecosystem.

We would also create worse effects on our own health:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_dioxide#Health_effect...

What the Netherlands is doing is not sustainable, and we should use our innovations to just lower output of those gases. Some farms already have shown that with some use of different food for the cows they can radically lower output of those gases.
We don't monetize user data, our business model is the main open-source product and premium product with more features and dedicated support.
I've been using Fastmail for 3-4 years. I don't think I've had a single complaint during that time. A few points I remember from top of my head:

- Both desktop and mobile apps are miles ahead in terms of smoothness compared to GMail (though I stopped using it a long time ago, so that comparison could be outdated).

- I'm proxying my GMail inbox and parking my own subdomain email for wildcard addresses. No problems here.

- I have a bunch of saved searches that I revisit regularly.

- Calendar work well with auto adding events from incoming mail.

- Not using contacts book too much, I just know that it's there but I'm mostly autocompleting recipients if needed.

- Recently they added scheduled email sending, that was the last feature I was missing.

I don't think I had to fall back to GMail even once. Fastmail just says what it does and does it well.
The legal basis for the roe decision is "a general right to privacy" which was argued on the basis that the 10th amendment reserves unenumerated rights(0) to be regulated by the states, then preserved for the individual. Since the constitution makes no mention of privacy, if you believe it's a right, it would fall into the category of "unenumerated". IIRC prior to roe, there are no supreme court decisions about the right to privacy, so it's considered the foundational legal precedent for privacy. Depending on how the arguments in the most recent case are written (I have not read them) it could be interpreted as no roe, no privacy, unless it's explicitly carved out by other decisions subsequent to roe (1)

(0) Technically the amendment makes a statement about powers, so you have to consider "rights" to be the inverse of "government power" for this argument to make sense.

(1) technically the constitution does not give the supreme court the power of judicial review - it was carved out of whole cloth by the courts itself, which is exactly the situation that the constitution is supposed to prevent Congress from doing (not surprisingly it's largely failed at that too) so the American system currently has gaping hole(s) in its legitimacy that you must look aside to accept all of these premises.
Where did I mention progressivism or conservativism? Neoliberalism is intrinsically tied to politics because you can't affect economic policy without getting involved in the political system...

Regardless, your implications surrounding my comment, and my intent by making it, are incorrect. Both movements have been disastrous for the United States.
I would simply recommend you to wait. It's not a good time to invest in real estate now, prices are historically out of norm. For something as optional as a holiday house, you should wait for better market conditions.
These are great questions!

> Is it the case that a given particle is trying to settle into a "lowest energy state" possible?

Not exactly. Energy is conserved during these decays. In fact, energy is conserved during all physical processes, so the "lowest energy state possible" is a little bit of a white lie. What makes it a white lie is that it is a very good approximation to the truth for thermodynamic systems, i.e. systems consisting of large numbers of particles. But for quantum systems, it is no longer a good approximation. In quantum systems, what happens is that you have a wave function that describes all of the possible states a system can be in. The more mass the system contains, the more possible states there are in its wave function, and so the more likely it is to end up in some state other than the one it started out in.

It is even possible for the process of decay to reverse itself, and for the constituent particles to come back together and reconstruct the original, but for that to happen all the constituents have to be brought back together, so as a practical matter this never happens spontaneously in nature. In fact, that is the whole reason for building the LHC -- to make particles (protons) come together and make high-mass systems which then decay in interesting ways.

> are these particles, due to the number of options available to them, decaying into the lightest stable variant allowed by the laws of physics?

Not the lightest stable variant, just to one of the possibilities described by that particle's wave function. These will always be subject to the constraints of conservation laws, so the decay products will always be lighter than the original. But which particular set of possible decay products is actually produced in any given decay event is fundamentally random.

> if that is the case, then could we perhaps find ways to engineer structures within which these particles last for a whole lot longer than they should (on a human timescale)?

No. The wave functions for particles are fixed by nature. They are what give particles their identities. They cannot be engineered. The only thing that we can engineer is the arrangement of particles. Particles are like Lego bricks. You can stick them together in lots of different ways, but you can't change the shape of a given brick. Sometimes quantum Lego bricks fall apart spontaneously, but there is no way to control that.
That comment needs expansion and amplification.
What was the original army of the dead like? It always seemed like the weakest point of all the films and certainly the most glaring plot hole of why didn’t they keep using them.
Thanks. I've not read it all, but it seems like emotional exhaustion through manufactured fears, failed agency and isolation resulting in hopelessness of which a charismatic someone can take complete advantage by offering to replace their failed agency in return for peace. "These people threaten you. I am the only person who understands and can help. And I am too a threat. I will give you peace if you submit to me (believe this truth)."
In the link, they only talk about "models of a theory" and the "mathematical/set-theoretical universe," none of which has to do with "a metaphysical model of the universe."
yeah I use k8s for basic webapps and it works wonderfully, and is way way easier than anything else, and yes I started developing in the 90s so I've seen it all. There is a bit of overhead in learning k8s, but once you know it, it's dead simple for every use case I've found and takes you way further than anything else.
Note that the problem is not nitrogen gas, but nitrous oxides and ammonia, both of which contain nitrogen.
Nitrogen gas itself is inert.

Moreover, the designation of protected areas came with money, it wasn't just diligence but also greed that caused this problem.

Finally, there already was a plan for managing nitrogen, but it counted things way too optimistically. That is what the court struck down. Notably it was known to the government this model was a problem, but they figured it was easier to punt the problem to a next term rather than solve it.
Now that courts are forcing a solution the problem has grown so big it takes drastic measures to fully meet the rules, and there is no wiggle room.
Thanks, this made made laugh :-)
Ages ago my advisor had a paper proving WEP to be correct. Many years later, a serious flaw was discovered.

Even formal verification can be insufficient.
I was referring to adult discussing the situation with kid, not kids among themselves.

But also, I really dont think this phrase works as mocking refutation. First, it is not mocking at all. Second, unless kid is super good confident actor, it will be clear the kid is uncomfortable and hurt.

And third, why do you see passivity as preferable over "responding in kind" in case of verbal abuse? Kids who react passively get mocked again and again and again. How exactly respond greatly depends on situation (that is why truthful discussion is necessary), but kids who dont listen to "be passive and polite" advice get verbally abused less often.
> This is the main reason I don't like superhero films. There is no sense of danger or vulnerability. It's just people in fancy jumpsuits doing acrobats around explosions till they win the day. I prefer main characters dying / at severe risk of dying. Give me tragedy. Show me vulnerable people who grow and become stronger.

I watched a YouTube video recently (forget which one, or I'd link it) that claimed this is the reason all the Marvel superheroes are so quippy—it's a cheap way to get us to like them when the usual tool of making them relatable through vulnerability isn't available.

That's also easier (so, cheaper). It's easier to write that kind of thing than to write real characters. Less chance of a dud, quicker writing process, lower risk.
it's a strong possibility that, had the USSR been left in peace, it would have achieved an even greater prosperity by now

Late stage communist countries couldn't manage the manufacturing of toilet paper, there were shortages of everything. There is absolutely no reason to believe they could have achieved any prosperity, much less comparable or greater.

USSR didn't fall apart because of external aggression. It was completely inefficient due to its economic system.
I find it's a tradeoff.

The new movie represents some of the visuals and environment better (in my mind), but skimps on the story.

I feel that Baron Harkonnen is better, in the movie. He was almost comedic, in the series.

Charlotte Rampling would not have been my choice for the Bene Gesserit mother, but I think she actually works.

I'm not too happy with any of the other casting choices, except Gurney Halleck, but, for some strange reason, they never consulted me.
Living in Texas, I strongly agree with you.
> I’ve exercised moderately at least every alternate days for most of my adult years (for a few, I worked out quite religiously every day even), but not a single day did I find it rewarding.

Why do you keep doing it? Suppose you burn 500 calories in a workout session, I would think its easier to eat 500 calories less than it is to slog through something you hate.
Texas' situation is specifically worded for the state not to come after you. It's a citizen's matter. "this statute does not limit who can bring suit, so long as it is a private citizen"

Additionally, in the Texas case you can't sue the mother, only those who aid in performing the abortion.
> The predictability and cookie cutter stories of today's superhero movies made them into an unengaging, boring waste of time.
I assume they work for younger viewers but I really can't understand how any adult who respects their own time can enjoy these.

Humans have enjoyed staring into dancing firelight for millenia. No plot even, and you know exactly what will happen to the flames in the end. What if not being able to just hang out and marvel pleasantly at visual spectacle is bad and the films are actually fine?

It holds specially for company like Amazon. Do you know how many business Amazon is running on loss? AFAIK they are very liberal in spending in R and D or with long term motive. AWS was once such a project. Who would have though that companies are ready to spend 5x if you add extra services alongside the server.

Also, AFAIK Amazon shopping site is not in loss in US. Your suggestion could have made sense if Amazon is using AWS money to strengthen the monopoly, but Amazon shopping is a profitable business, in part due to advertisement.
No, it needs any good reason anyone would use it
I think it's just loss aversion. Losing $100 hurts worse than gaining $100.
You mean gb of memory right? Or you might have been working with several decades ago.

Of course they are, unless I am misunderstanding what they are doing. It seems that they are specifically deleting location data with regards to visits to abortion clinics. [1]
