> "A VPN will not save you from leaking identifying information"

What identifying information? There is no identifying information other than IP address, email and anything else you volunteered when signing up.

Remember the context here. It's "toy company" grumpy about a negative review, and wanting Glassdoor to hand over what they know.

Have a guess what Glassdoor will hand over? Email address, IP, and whatever else you willingly gave to Glassdoor. They won't have any other information from "javascript" or whatever you are claiming is leaked from normal web browsers.
The open air bike chop shop phenomenon is bewildering to me. It's like police on the west coast aren't allowed to use probable cause. Don't cops get promotions for busting crimes? So much low hanging fruit exists driving around a west coast city looking for infractions, from the obvious hard drug use and chop shops and street takeovers, but also stuff like the fact that chances are any gas leaf blower operating near an apartment building is probably illegal yet never enforced despite widely done.

I feel like there is a cultural issue going on with west coast law enforcement where its like they don't want to deal with the paperwork or the effort of actually doing their job. It was telling when some LAPD got in trouble recently for playing pokemon go and ignoring dispatch calls to go after a snorelax (1). But just anecdotally I see general terrible work ethic from the cops. I see them abuse signal preemption all the time for nothing. When they are out directing traffic in downtown LA for some random construction road pattern they usually have an airpod in one ear, which I'm positive they aren't allowed to do. You call about a petty crime and the reaction is almost like "Did someone die? No? What do you want me to do then?"

This is lazy explanation that's easy to agree with if you don't think very hard about it. Two reasons:

1. A shitty job at $15 an hour is equally unappealing at $16 an hour. Someone who doesn't want the crap hours, crap boss, and crap customer interactions isn't going to change their mind over an extra buck an hour. The money isn't the problem, it's that companies make it _not rewarding_ to work.

2. Raising pay ratchets up inflation, and isn't a response. Cause and effect are reversed. Unlike food, gas, houses, movie tickets, and restaurants, the amount of money transacted in wages/salary cannot go down. McDonald's can't tell their employees that due to supply and demand, they are only going to make $14.83 an hour this week. Imagine if your company lowered wages due to the "expected recession". You would start looking for a new role. This means pay increases can never go down again after a temporary bump. I won't say it's the cause, but it artificially limits deflation from ever pulling things back. Like an elevator that can only go up.
Being on call is the bane of my existence. It’s also entangled with the issue that companies would never consider people working a night shift even tho tons of devs prefer to code at night (and they could actually get things done without constant context switching). How is it that we are expected to be on slack, checking emails, and on call after hours but employers rarely pay for cell phones or after hours labor?
Too tired to type a cogent paragraph. Just that I have seen lives saved by SSRIs.

Not really. Business applications were key to computers success in USA.
First really widely used microprocessor had zero connections to the military.

USSR copied OS/360 not because of military's requests, but because it lacked computers for civil applications and lacked software for it. OS/360 was never a military project in USA.
Exploitation of an existing bugdoor is statistically more likely than a backdoor, and does not require updating any microcode. Once identified and exploited, bugs may be removed in a future microcode revision, as with all other forms of firmware and software.
Again, it's less then 1 month's rent. Really think about what you're suggesting here.
There's pretty good reason to be quite concrete. The government is infringing on many peoples rights, aiming to force child rape victims to also become pre-teen parents, or to keep dead fetuses in the womb to promote infections for the sake of somebody else's religious purity.

Becoming concrete and opinionated isn't happening in a vaccuum. The high and mighty detached conversation was for 20 years+ ago
IMO CS 144 from Stanford is excellent at introducing this level of networking: https://cs144.github.io/

For those of us not familiar with the jargon: "depose" in this context means to bring them in for testimony, with transcript to be brought to court as evidence (without requiring the person to show up to court in person), i.e. for a deposition. They're not being ordered out of power.
Sorry! I guessed wrong
I think you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water here. Sure depression may not be linked to low serotonin levels but it almost certainly some chemical imbalance of some variety.
I really think the long term way for any of us in a similar position is to found our own company or build our own dream as we see it. I don't like working for anyone either.

I have no sympathy for myself that I've so far failed to have a big hit among the 7 or 8 startup apps and sites I've built in my spare time while working corporate jobs. How am I supposed to have sympathy for someone who isn't even trying, just because wages are shit and they don't get a lot of vacation? Who cares? I've worked some of the shittiest jobs in America. I can bitch as much as anyone else.

People like me not losing hope in my own ability to one day launch something that will make us fuck-you rich from our garage - even if most of us never will - is an essential driver of innovation and overall economic well being. And people who say it's impossible disgust me, because they're essentially just lazy
I don’t really get this - the jvm bytecode itself has zero access to anything outside of some memory given to it. It can’t even print to stdout in itself, it needs a method with a native implementation for everything. So there really is no “safer” here.

Of course libraries can be written that expose more and more functionality, but I don’t see anything inherently unsafe in the JVM as opposed to WASM, which is the exact same way. If anything, the jvm can’t even crash itself, while wasm is free to do all the old memory errors, just this time constrained to its virtual memory space.
I see, so it's more the managed infrastructure than the actual DB itself?
Variable-speed reading. Quickly skim over the fluff and slow down for the actual information.
This article's main premise is that everything can be blamed on 'bad rich CEO guy' making self-serving decisions to enrich themselves. This is probably partially true, but many others are guilty of playing this game, politicians and the entire financial industry has setup the environment to incentivize short-term gains by off-shoring resources and cannibalizing U.S. companies. There are multiple arenas involved though, so it is important to make a distinction between domestic squabbles and the global environment, which I don't think this article does. I think this bill should be pushed through because the alternative is almost surely Nothing. I didn't notice any alternative proposals? This would be a positive step towards addressing the legitimate concerns about the unbalanced global semiconductor landscape. At the same time, the U.S. should make internal changes to prioritize long-term tech investments over stock trading, get rid of the vulturous MBA style management, and shift back to start-up friendly communities instead of FAANG. Probably none of this will happen, but there is lots of blame to spread around. Just chanting dumb 'bad-billionaire' slogans is the least productive activity.
This of course only applies to the people who don't matter.

When you're going to face prison time for using your rights or helping other people use their rights, people are clearly thinking about you.

There's no lack of doctors in very public view right now.

Maybe nobody cares specifically about the doctor in particular, but they don't care about not ruining the doctor's life, let alone the woman who gets the abortion
Yeah an unregulated and uncontrolled consumption of a poorly dosed hallucinogenic is totally better than a double-blind study of SSRI/SNRI.

I swear, I do not reject the possibility that hallucinogenics can cure depression better than existing meds, but the almost religious enthusiasm for such a poorly studied chemical is deeply concerning.

And yes, before you accuse me of being a pharma shill, I know that the lack of serious study is due to legal restrictions and not scientific evidence. But that doesn’t change the fact that they’ve not been studied rigorously. In my State, they are being actively studied, let us hold back the praise until the results are in.
why should someone be motivated to work 50 hours in a soul crushing job just to pay their rent and bills?

without any hope of social mobility in their lifetime.

this sounds like a you problem (managers,govt), not a me problem.
Does not invalidate the point. Most people stealing stuff would want to minimize their exposure. In this case, the dude is on camera even. Not a good thing if you get caught. We're talking drug addicts looking for some quick money here. So, are they going to touch a bike that that they know will make a lot of noise and alert every cop in a mile radius? Of course they won't. They'll walk away from that every time.

Some of them occasionally will try anyway and that's where the bike hunters come in. We're not talking Sherlock Holmes here. This is simply about chasing down idiots that steal bikes and the scum that buys the bikes knowing full well what they are buying. Easiest job ever, these are not criminal master minds.
They could, but clearly according to the article, they are not doing that. They are first revoking the license and notifying the affected party. I assume the lawsuit will be filed as soon as they have evidence that the notification is served yet the violation is continuing.
Well that is incorrect.

Google's experimental quantum computer has been used to build logical qubits using up to 21 physical qubits.

However "The team believes that mature quantum computers will need 1000 qubits to make each logical qubit – Sycamore currently has just 54 physical qubits."

(A "mature quantum computers" is one where the fault tolerance is high enough for it to be generally useful outside experimental settings)

I did crap jobs for $8/hr because I needed to pay rent.
So maybe low serotonin levels are caused by depression? My naive understanding is that these amines play a critical role in our emotional response, social interactions and other complex psyche, so as a consequence, depressed person suffers decline in these functions, as well as a whole higher nervous system suffers regression. I always had a feeling that SSRIs are treating consequence, not the cause. Maybe I'm too naive and my understanding is very poor, I just architect systems in the end, so I'm looking at this problem like at a bug in the very root of an unimaginably complex system, while treating it by boosting one or another amine is looking like the most ugly hotfix.
... or with `git checkout` or with `rm` or `git clean` (for files not yet under version control).
This is awesome.

And there is also a valid anti work movement. The boomers who mistake that for 'nobody wants to work anymore' just can't see it, but that reveals more about their shitty priorities than the generation(s) they are critizing.

As always, stereotypes of a generation are more telling of the flaws of the previous generations than anything else.
Yeah those aren't great. There are discords that are specific to topics, like your favourite hobby. Then you need to find one that doesn't have too many, but also not too few people. They will be filtered by hobby I guess.
Very impressive. It is awesome how accessible PCB manufacturing is nowadays.

If only you could buy those fabled STM32s. :/
I'm not sure what you mean by "big bang approach". There isn't a single company whose goal is 100% or nothing. Not cruise, nor waymo, nor anyone else. That's why they have things like remote assistance and incremental rollouts. Similarly, waymo and cruise are both making [small amounts of] money on their "intermediary" robotaxis right now.
USSR never did anything good for Baltics - it created non-efficient factories and sent a lot of Russians to work there, while prosecuted most of the local pre-war elites.

In late 80s no one in USSR wanted to choose stuff from Latvia over imported goods.
When USSR collapsed Latvia got a lot of non-efficient factories with dated equipment and had to close them and also masses of Russian factory workers who where very hostile to new Baltic states.
I didn't know this, but it makes perfect sense and randomizing the a/b/c is a tried and true solution - e.g. in the electrical grid, L1/2/3 are rotated for each customer, because people tend to connect more stuff to L1 on average.

hahaha good one :) reminds me that in french/latin languages the word for work (travail) is thought to comes from the latin tripalium an instrument of torture / or trabaculum ( could mean like a worker yoked to his job)

At the end of the days there are people willing to match their skills with a job and some who are not it s just a market equilibrium thing / demand never match the offer perfectly and innovations tend to displace work towards higher productivity…

Where are you from? How is it safer? It's probably not work here... I speak with strangers indoors everyday and I'm fine.
In regards to 4)

I ᴍᴇᴛ a Traveller from an antique land,
Who said, “ Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart.[17] Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“ My name is Oᴢʏᴍᴀɴᴅɪᴀs, King of Kings.”
Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
I don’t want to be an Apple apologist here - I really didn’t care for the butterfly keyboard - but I do want to note that in spite of the design, there are millions of MBPs that butterfly keyboards that weren’t problematic, and even people who liked it.
There is no argument worth addressing. Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist, he has no credibility, research, or study in this domain.

You or I are equally credible in making up theories to explain these phenomena. He just has a very attractive manner of speaking that sounds very intellectually rigorous to people who have no intellectual rigour of their own. He seems intelligent because he's willing to consider every possibility from it's first principles, whether that possibility is IQ rates in the labour force, or whether women are being sexually promiscuous by wearing makeup to the office.

The specific argument in question is ludicrous. We've always had people excluded from the labour force due to intelligence. While surely IQ 85 individuals aren't able to take advantage of a booming tech market, the specific instances of complaints and criticisms today of "nobody wanting to work anymore" are for menial labour jobs that can easily be done by someone with an IQ of 85.
Sorry, realised I'd lapsed into jargon and missed the edit.

KIP = Kafka Improvement Proposal. The mechanism for proposing big changes to Kafka and getting community feedback before core committers vote on adoption or not.

I'm not sure why Zookeeper is viewed so negatively in regards to Kafka, it's damn solid, and if I can quote Jepsen "Use Zookeeper". I know Confluent wanted to replace it because it struggled when you hit thousands of topics on a single cluster, but that feels like a very niche use case to me.
Seems like inflation would then jump a fair bunch to match?

What's so terrible about that?
I’ve had a VM for three years and my tracking expires any day now. Never had to use it, thankfully, and I also lock the bike with a short Almax chain which is as tough a deterrent as is practical.

Tracking a vehicle is great. My wife’s scooter has a tracker and my motorbike doesn’t. I was scooter-jacked a few years ago by a couple of scallys and the police found the scooter 90 minutes later in a car park where they’d dumped it - to check if it was being tracked.

My motorbike was then stolen from outside my house. Super annoying but then it turned up - randomly and spookily - literally outside my old house where the thieves had dumped it in case there was a tracker on it.

So trackers work - whether they’re installed on not.
Where? Besides news.
Prison for your political view was a common thing until about 1986.
And a lot of people died there.
France is not a socialist country. It just has a somewhat okay welfare state.
Yes working on hobby projects. Get an FPGA kit, implement the RISC-V ISA in RTL. Use all the formal verification tools. Then move on to compliance and tape-out (just joking). But seriously, you'd be wasting time if you didn't do anything meaningful while trying to maintain your skills. And have to think about the motivation as well.
I know for sure that I have much more anxiety when I'm in an unsafe environment than a safe one, regardless of how free I am in each. Lack of freedom does lots of bad things to your mind, but anxiety isn't one of them.
Could you please link to your favorite way to install python at specific version and all dependencies without have to put anything in a global place. Ideally on MacOS (since it's what I'm on most). I don't have homebrew or macports since eventually those always lead to me getting a borked system since they want everything installed globally.
> The money isn't the problem, it's that companies make it _not rewarding_ to work.

What are you even talking about? Of course money is the problem.
“There’s definitely a crisis of nobody wanting to work anymore, unlike the last hundred years of people saying this”

lol c’mon. The ol’ “$CURRENT_GENERATION is uniquely weak/lazy/bad, unlike $SPEAKER_OWN_GENERATION” chestnut is a nice touch, I’ll give you that.
And let's throw in a name with high recognition value as a way to both validate the concept and attract more eyeballs. It's an argument from authority if there ever was one.
> Unlike food, gas, houses, movie tickets, and restaurants, the amount of money transacted in wages/salary cannot go down.

And when, exactly, looking at 5-years windows has the amount of money transacted for movie tickets, food, gas, etc. gone down instead of up? Not prices from one week to the next or to the next month, when did prices consistently trended downwards for a period of 5 years or longer for a given product?
Same here. Ironically it's rising rent and gas prices that will force people back to work, rather than pay bumps because bills still need to be paid.
> But the old commit is still in there, pristine, forever.

> (Git will eventually throw away lost and unused snapshots, but typically not anything you have used in the last 90 days.)

Without having exlplained what a 'snapshot' is and what 'typically' means, it's pretty unclear whether the first statement is affected by the second, and if it were the first is incorrect, so I feel this clarification should be added to the list of things you want people to know about git.
> Secondly, within a limit of my understanding, the efficiency of a turbine system hot-to-cold is affected by the climate it operates in. The ambient temperature, humidity and pressure affects the final stage.

Usually this is only partially true. Systems have enough margin to account for such conditions (cooling pumps have to pump more water to compensate for higher temps). Also to note that the output of a turbine can be kept constant. Only the efficiency will come down slightly.
They broke that with python 3. print "Hello World!" no longer works and import antigravity now only links to the comic.
This looks excellent! I'll definitely try to learn a bit of what you've done

I'm making a similar project; a handheld Pico-8 console: https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico/ although currently I'm stuck in the process of writing a half-working Lua-to-C++ compiler
So, what I can surmise is that I felt a deep connection to the universe. You _feel_ the ramifications of not only being a part of the universe, but also the part of the universe trying to understand it.

I'd say I was an atheist before, but now I feel there is something and that something is curious. It's like consciousness is independent of the universe, and didn't create the universe. Instead, it's trying to figure out the puzzle. So, this tiny spark of faith cures nihilism because I'm part of the consciousness, and as long I as wake up and solve by piece of the puzzle, there is meaning in that.
Buy and own outright before long too. With a job that only required a diploma and two arms.
> IOW, you can't assert a copyright against a video posted by a user in another country.

How does that work? So anyone in Norway can copy anything produced in the US and not be taken down on a copyright claim?
They’re both bad options to pad the ranks of a military that’s looking more like the late Roman army by the day.
> The hoarders can selectively employ people who will make them richer, all while the rest of society continues to crumble around them.

The magical device on which you're reading this comment would not have been possible without companies employing people they thought would help make the company richer. It's not a zero-sum game; we all benefit as a consequence of capitalism – from the richest of the rich to the poorest of the poor.

Have you ever owned a business or hired someone? If so, did you deliberately select employees who would not help the company be successful, and if so, did that somehow help prevent societal collapse?

I hear so many lies about the "evils" of capitalism (from all sources, not just here); I fear people are starting to believe them, as we're slowly being brainwashed into joining the next reboot of "let's see – again – how badly we can screw up the world with communism".
Water rights aren't going away without a fight. It's not something voters really understand. In the west, it's a super complex topic. There's a reason politicians go to "hey, don't water your lawn this year! No water at restaurants unless you ask for it!" mode whenever there's an issue now. That sort of worthless virtue signaling is the only thing they can really accomplish vs big water/ag. And the Republicans will weaponize rural water rights as just another thing to use against the libs.

Even if you can redo water rights (which won't happen), what happens when farmers lose their water? People aren't going to be stoked about not having easy access to beef, almonds, etc. And the farm subsidies would have to massively go up even more, which Republicans will fight tooth and nail for while pretending to defend the small farmer.

What isn't hyperbole is that cyclical mega droughts is part of our new norm and this is going to become an issue every year, alongside wildfires. None of it will be solved overnight, and it will probably get much much worse in our lifetimes. Welcome to the future lol.
Don't care about the semantics or grammar-- I just need a way for the UI to run a function on a server.
