Self-managed MDM is the way to go for most of them. I think the main one that can't be achieved thru MDM is the browser lockdown. MDM has a lot of other security policies available though.
Eventually it got to the point where comments on people's pages were making them unreadable or crashing the browser. That was too much customizability.

To me, that version just highlights how far-fetched it is to actually find yourself in this situation with all the provided knowledge about the situation and confidence that you're not mistaken about or missing any important details.

“Police evacuate building after unidentified suspicious object reported”

Vs

“People killed when police treat bomb as probably harmless object”

Retroactively one might say that’s obvious, right? But what is the alternative here but to be cautious?
I think part of the problem is that most products are so shitty and short-lived that the retail value and never-used resale value are enormously different.
I enjoyed the movie Ronin, then made the mistake of watching the "making of". They showed how they added sound effects in the car chase, like shaking gravel in a coffee can, etc.

Then when I watch the movie, and hear the sound effects, in my mind I see the foley artist shaking the coffee can.

It ruined the movie for me :-)

P.S. I watched "Night Sky" yesterday. In one scene, the truck screeches to a halt on a dirt road. Sigh.
So this is like reverse swag?

Yesterday, I watched Emery Berger’s “Python performance matters” Which is you should not bother to write fast Python, just delegate all heavy lifting to optimized C/c++ and the likes. His group has a Python profiler whose main goal is to point out which parts should be delegated.
Of course optimized is better but the numeric microbenchmarks in this post are mostly examples of code that is better delegated to low overhead compiled languages.

Not sure about exciting, but I'd think the technical challenges, particularly regarding intra-cluster communication, can be interesting to some. There's a lot of money in it, they better do something useful (more useful then running Linpack or calculating digits of Pi), rather then being just show cases.

Said that, #1 is about twice as fast as #2, which is about three times as fast as number #3. Those gaps are much wider then I would have expected this late in the game.

> Next up, the update is set to launch on the Goerli testnet, before it heads to Ethereum mainnet. Though the shipping date for the Merge on mainnet has not yet been finalized, the Goerli launch is expected in the coming weeks.

If no issues are found with that final testnet launch, I can't imagine what it would take to delay the full merge another 6 months, so they still seem to be on track for a Q3-Q4 merge.
How does this trope still get repeated so often? It has been debunked time and time again: strategy and management are infinitely more complex than almost all technical work. Assuming a group is incompetent just because you don't understand what they're doing (even when they dumb things down to just a few buzzwords for the desperate hope that talking like a third grader will enable you to follow along), is such an obvious folly that it should at least raise some red flags in your head. Even if you feel this way you should at least consider how repeating it is of no help to anyone.
Nothing stops Apple from offering e2ee backups, and in fact they do this for certain data backed up to iCloud (health data for example.)

But your iMessage data...well there, your ass is hanging out in the breeze. In fact, I'm not sure it's possible to log into an iPhone with your Apple ID and not have an iCloud backup immediately fire off, which means your private encryption keys hit iCloud and stay there until it is purged according to their data retention policies. And we have no idea what those policies actually are; those keys made end up stored forever.
> Business and management work is... not nearly as complex. But the people doing that work have the same highly complex brains as you do. They can handle the same deep complexity as you. So with all this extra mental space, they add layers and layers of complexity to seemingly simple business processes. This complexity builds the moat protecting their turf from others. It creates the irreplaceability that you get for free.

This is one of those fictions that engineers love to believe about management because it imbues a sense of superiority. Who doesn't like feeling like their job is better or more important than others'?

Having been an IC, middle manager, upper manager, and back to IC a few times, I can tell you this is a false notion. Business and management are different problems, but they're not necessarily "easier". As an engineer-minded person by nature, I honestly found the technical problems easier to handle than a lot of the management problems I had to deal with. Managing a computer program is generally easier than managing people. People are hard.

Only if they defrauded one of the most effective charities (as opposed to $4500 raised to buy some new musical instruments for a school) and only if punishments should be determined by total harm caused.

Harm caused is usually one of several factors we use to determine punishments, which is why attempted murder is punishable even if the perpetrator failed to cause any harm.

(Not saying our current system for punishment is necessarily right.)

In your specific example with clothing, there are two good reasons:

1. There's vanity sizing going on (e.g. 30" pants actually have a 32" waist due to vanity-sizing) and measurements provided may not be consistent throughout batches. These are still handmade items, just not artisanal.

2. Fabric drapes differently, so what looks good on a model shots with the clothing meticulously pinned, may look different when you actually wear it.

Also, I assume another reason for a lax return policy is that the margins are large enough to support it. Or retailers expect that most customers won't take advantage of it (until they do, like REI).

The current best practice is to have already been using an Apple device, and this will enhance that.
Stockfish is the state of the art for its particular use case. General-purpose hash table are completely irrelevant, they'll never be able to compete on performance. Specific things Stockfish can assume:

* The table doesn't need to dynamically grow.

* Entries are allowed to be lost, but inserts can also simply fail

* Key collisions are considered acceptable, and because of this, Stockfish doesn't store the key in the table, only its hash. Even artificially high collision rates have been shown to not significantly impact playing strength.

* Bogus data due to race conditions is considered acceptable, same as above.
Yes, the state's monopoly on force is to me what truly differentiates them into a different category of power than a corporation. Also international recognition for nation states and being able to have treaties and the like, but really its the monopoly on use of force. That said, I think the rise of charter cities (think of an SEZ on steroids run by a private corporation) will blur the lines further, although most proposals I've seen for charter cities leave policing to the locality they're residing in.

The airlines are in the trouble they are in because they saw it as expedient to deny Covid exists. (Hard lobbying for an end of mask mandates on planes)

Covid, alas, did not do them the favor of agreeing to their belief system and is still around. And so now they have a large number of people sick, and a large number of employees upset that their health is sacrificed for corporate profits.

As for "why don't they just hire more", pilots don't grow on trees. A commercial licenses requires 1500 flight hours, spread out over at least two years. And (again, because it was cheap), airlines outsourced that cost to pilots. Same as all other education efforts. So, on the pilot side, addressing a shortage takes at least two years and requires finding a bunch of people willing to sink time and money into a license - while simultaneously the airline companies have sent a clear signal they don't care about their employees.

"The market" can't fix those issues. Not in the short term, and with the trust lost, not even in the mid term.

So why didn't airline cancel those flights? One, if you pretend the situation is different from reality, the pain of cognitive dissonance makes you buy into your own lies. Two, even if you resist that force, as a publicly traded company, cancelling thousand of flights in advance is a hit on your stock price. If you wait until the last moment, maybe something changes, or you might make it at least past bonus day.

Ultimately, the market has adapted. It just has adapted to maximizing executive pay.

Apple has abandoned encryption for everyone in iCloud. You cannot encrypt anything except a limited subset of your device's data (Apple Health data, mostly.)
Reminds me of the Scenario in Fight Club:

"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
It's very, very easy for the audience for a corporate meeting to be too broad.

Depending on how big the company has gotten, odds become high that the piece of the elephant you're holding is nowhere near the pieces that the CEO / owners / etc. care about on the day-to-day, but what they care about on the day-to-day tends to shape the contents of corporate meetings.

If you want to derive more value from these meetings, it can be useful to switch context from the what is being discussed to the who is discussing. Those are the people at the company that the operator of the meeting thinks are doing things worth telling you about. They have the ear of top-level management on their projects, and it might be worth keeping tabs on them if your goal is to increase your impact in the org. But if your goal is to heads-down improve your piece of the elephant day-to-day, don't stress too much about these above-your-paygrade conversations.

Now, how do you find out more about the stuff discussed? That depends on your org. The first conversation I'd have is with my immediate manager. A lot of companies have an internal wiki of some kind to track this info, and you can read up on the topic from the meeting there. If your boss doesn't know how to know more, then it might be a good skill for you and your boss to learn. Now, if it's not possible to know more, than your company might have a comms gap and these meetings might actually be wasting your time.

(Just as a side-bar: I was in a site-wide meeting once where a team had succeeded in making one system much faster. Site lead wanted to celebrate their achievement, but he knew a lot of folks would have no idea what they did or why it mattered... So he bought some cheap tape measures, pulled one out to one foot, and then had the team that did the thing stretch the additional five around the room over and over. "This tape measure represents how many queries per second we used to support, and these..." gestures around the room "Are our new capacity. Big round of applause."

Keep an eye on folks who can do that... They know how to communicate to people who aren't in the loop, and that's a key leadership skill.)

p.s: One final thought on this topic: don't get discouraged if the company's doing something big that doesn't make sense to you. It is the nature of big companies that nobody can wrap their brain around the whole thing... That's why they are multi-person projects in the first place. Nobody at a large enough company, not your boss, not the VP of your org, not the CEO, actually knows everything that's going on.
I feel like a lot of the criticism and dismissals of management and corporate meetings like this unfairly and naively denigrate the value and importance of corporate strategy and processes in nearly the exact same way as engineering work and processes are often denigrated and misunderstood by non-engineers.

Early in my engineering career, I had the privilege of being personal friends with the older CEO of my company who was very much a business/corporate type but valued engineering as well though he was not an engineer himself. He was able to help me see through several product cycles that sales and marketing was, in many (or even most) cases, more pivotal to the success of a product than engineering. That's not to say that engineering does not matter -- it does, especially when it comes to scale and technical debt that affects release velocity, but the end customer in 99.9% of cases does not care about the engineering behind a product, only whether it solves their problem. The business and corporate meetings (when done properly-- there can be complete BS business/corporate stuff but that's a matter of incompetence) should focus efforts on delivering what customers need. Seeing that first-hand gave me a much greater appreciation for other disciplines within successful companies as well as some humility around the magnitude and importance of my contributions as an engineer. It takes all kinds and the talented business types who can proverbially sell ice to Eskimos are force multipliers akin to the mythical 10x engineer and worth their weight in gold.
2/3rd's ish compute, 1/3 other stuff from what I've seen. A good chunk of the compute are appliance-type boxes supporting simulation of particular embedded systems in a traditional environment. Most of the complexity comes from integration of these misc accessory systems.

In general aside from the boxes handling the graphics projection, most of the 'compute' is idle a lot of the time, even when the simulator is running. There's usually a big burst of work to prep and load the simulation into the simulator, then minimal (but very latency sensitive) chatter back and forth between the various simulator components and the backend compute as the simulation runs.
> This is the most interesting part of Tesla. Their net income rise from 2019-2021 is incredible! Yet they can't seem to keep any cash. No matter how much they raise they spend more with nothing meaningful to show for it.

Except a unit manufacturing run rate increasing 25-50% YoY and an $800M global fast dc charger network covering almost the entire developed world. You don’t hold cash, you shovel it into growing into the addressable market (which for EVs is huuuuuge). Gigs Berlin is shutting for two weeks to increase production [1], Giga Shanghai is preparing to slowly ramp to 1 million units/year [2] over time.

I don’t care for Musk, but these people are just as meh. Tesla (not Musk; the collective employees of Tesla) is building and selling ~1 million units per year of pure BEVs, and they are backlogged by half a year for some models. Credit where credit due.

Yes. Nonstop. Got two today.

I've already run their gauntlet once and a few of the interviewers were dbags (though two were exceedingly awesome and nice).
The oral-b ones are very good. Sonicare's have big reliability issues in my experience.
They also prevent Chinese supercomputing related companies having their chips fabbed in Taiwan.
I think part of the issue is that developers and engineers tend to think in concrete terms because to make things work, they must be concrete. People in sales, marketing, and management often speak in jargon and metaphors that cover for a lack of substance... though, to be fair, many of them don't know they're doing it because they don't really implement things themselves.

Years ago, I worked at a company where the head of marketing gave a 40-minute presentation to management about the new marketing strategy to drive growth. Her presentation was such a success they told her to present it to engineering, thinking it would whip up enthusiasm about what great vision the company had and how fast we were poised to grow.

The woman presentated to a sea of bewildered faces. None of the software devs could figure out what she was saying, and that's a problem, since marketing's job is to convey a clear message.

Finally, we started peppering her with questions. Not in a rude way. We were genuinely trying to pin down some concrete meaning behind the flood of jargon. After ten minutes of questions, one dev finally summed it up: "So we're going to run more ads and let people know we offer a broad selection and good prices?"

"Yes," the woman said. She seemed frustrated and defeated, though all the devs were happy to finally understand a message that made sense.

Then she blurted out, "God, I hate talking to developers!"
In the deontological view, both pulling the lever and inaction may be perfectly permissible.

Consider: Who knows what happens? It's perfectly possible the problem description lied, and the opposite thing happens. Either way real life doesn't come with problem descriptions. Since "what happens" is profoundly inaccessible, the more important question is what you wanted and why.

So, it's permissible to redirect the train away from one and towards many, if directing it away from the one was what you wanted. It's equally permissible to redirect the train away from the many and towards the one, if directing it away from the many was what you wanted. It's easy to imagine a world where you got what you wanted, but the bad thing that looked like would happen as a side effect didn't happen. Maybe that's the one we live in.

However, if you really wanted a specific person on the track to die, then you should pull it away from them. Not for their sake, but for yours. What happens is still uncertain, but the important thing is that you did not act on this bad desire.

(By the way, virtue ethics is just a stupid "third way" branding exercise. To say goodness isn't derived from outcomes is fine. To say it is, is at least a coherent position. But thinking you can dodge that problem by talking about "virtues" instead is just nonsense.)
Also, holy crap assumptions!

> and I think it would be fair to describe that thing as “making kids pay more attention”.

Are you even talking to the students? Do you actually know that attention isn't the problem of ADHD? We are always paying attention! We can't not pay attention! We can't filter or direct it as well as a neurotypical. We have issues with motivation! Impulse control!

This whole thing stinks of "why aren't the kids with ADHD becoming genius after giving them ADHD meds?!" The best they'll become is as good as the most mediocre student. The outliers will be amazing and also still poor students. Help the outliers.
I don’t believe it’s better than non-mac products.
Yes and I think there are often conflicting interests around who gains and who loses even within the US from a strong or weak dollar.

But this is why I noted that, every so often US for geopolitical reason seems willing to except even domestic pain for some period of time if the relative position of US increases due to the rest of world suffering more during strong-dollar periods.

Give that article a read to understand what I'm saying regarding periodic "harvesting" of rest of world economy (for one, via financial flows into $ and assets as safe haven). Arguably Volcker's extreme tightening in 1970's, with his willingness to crush even the domestic economy for a time, was due to geopolitical interests to maintain trust in the $ as reserve currency and to crush USSR economy by destroying commodity prices and bankrupting their economy partially due to their inability to print the currency of which they had some external debts in.

But I think this is a complex topic you can find many arguments both ways. And US policy has gone back at forth at times pursing both strong and weak for their own interest.

Though I didn't mean to imply weak dollar wouldn't also boost US domestic economy. But to the thrust of my post which way US regime wants to go depends on current geopolitical context.
They should have named it "NOT A DATABASE!!!"
Yeah i'm assuming there is some foundational context missing for OP. If OP were to go to all business meetings they'd likely have more to go on - rather than one off

> Please don't do this. Believe it or not, it's actually really easy from the management side of the table to tell when someone is just laying on the flattery and trying to say all the right things to butter people up.

Actually it’s been shown that ass kissing and flattery are quite effective unfortunately.

> Engineers who try to "play politics" usually overestimate their ability to manipulate other people and underestimate other people's ability to see right through it.

Actually, engineers are often quite adept at manipulating social systems to their advantage. If you think engineers are just heads-down nerds without personal agendas they promote ruthlessly, you’re the patsy.

> Chronic liars and manipulators may not be called out in public, but their negative reputation will spread quickly among people in the know.

Seriously? Politics over the last 10 years come to mind. Bad behavior is often rewarded. Doesn’t mean you should partake, but I don’t call it cynicism as much as realism.
Well he was not arrested for it.

If he had stuck to doing what he did I guess no one would go after him.
