And in that light ten percent isn't even that much. It really sucks for those being laid off, Shopify seems to take their responsibility for their people serious so (if they follow through with what they promised). And yes, pulling your timetable and hiring forward was bet, but a less risky one than it turned out to be in hindsight.

More general, we had the 2008 financial crisis after one not too big investment bank went under. Covid did, despite all the real world damage from lost lives to the economy, not doing anything like it. I always wondered why, aparently more free money, on top of all the free money we had since 2008, helped. I just hope that the postponement of hitting a wall doesn't mean we ginna hit it much faster.

As with a lot of classics if one wants to really dive into it there is no royal way around working your way through the references / original (critical editions).
In Rumi's case the translator's stereotype of a western audience as the addressee (by trying to deliver "the spirit of Rumi") imho heavily butchers the rich culture underneath. I guess the justification is that the structure of the poem has to be broken anyways so why not "westernize" it, unfortunately that interpretation got stuck.

Here is the paragraph how it is read in Farsi[0] right to left:

از کفر و ز اسلام برون صحرائی است

ما را به میان آن فضا سودائی است

عارف چو بدان رسید سر را بنهد

نه کفر و نه اسلام و نه آنجا جائی است

Transliteration:

az kāfr-o ze ʾeslām borun sahrā-ye ast

mā-rā be mijān-ān fazā sewdā-ye ast

āref čou badān resid sar-rā benah-ad

na kāfr-o na ʾeslām-o na ānğā ğā-ye ast

Word-by-Word:

From disbelief/heresy/atheism (kāfr) and from islam/belief/faith (ʾeslām) outside desert/sahara/plain (sahrā) is

For us in the middle of that world-space/expanse (fazā) trade/ bargain/agreement/(melancholy) (sewdā) is

The knower of God/the Mystic (āref) who reaches to that, his head/top (sar) prostrates

No disbelief/heresy/atheism (kāfr) and no islam/belief/faith (ʾeslām) and no 'here' (ānğā) 'there' (ğā) is

Obviously the structure can now be appreciated in its simplicity also heavily facilitated by the fact that Farsi itself is a Indo-European language.
The culturally loaded terms like کفر(kāfr),اسلام(ʾeslām),صحر(sahrā),فضا (fazā),سودا(sewdā),عارف (āref) stand more out and have different possibilities in being 'translated'.

سودا(sewdā) for example is an interesting choice, because it also could mean '(deep) melancholy' but in that context resolves to 'come to an agreement', but now with the possible undertone of an existential sadness/yearning.

Another example is reading / referencing the greek/latin originals of the stoic texts which gives a much deeper insight into the times and a more finetuned view of the 'conditio humana'. By translating into our language and our times unavoidable ambiguities arise and one has to interpret at times very heavily.

TL;DR:

I highly encourage everyone deeply impressed by those classical texts to also take a look into the references/originals.

Given the amount of chaos the insider help can cause, I'm not surprised they would do that. There was a video I can't find now doing rounds on twitter with girls saying how they used relationships/sex with instagram employees to get their accounts unblocked. Companies are likely aiming for more accountability than that.
> Granted, I’m not a native English speaker, but this looks like a plain contradiction to me.

In the context of taxing carbon to prevent climate change, and you claiming that taxing it would prevent people from making enough fertilizer to feed the world leading to millions of unnecessary deaths you don't see why it's an important distinction that the carbon vented into the atmosphere today in their production is a waste product of an entirely optional process for making one of the input elements (hydrogen) that fertilizers are built from and not actually necessary, or even desirable, for the end result?

This is clearly political. You've been convinced by political people that it's just 'physics' and therefore not political, but you're wrong about both the physics and the politics.

Plus, even when finding out you're wrong about the physics, you're mostly happy that this means that we won't need regulation, rather than happy about avoiding the tens of millions of deaths you were worried about when you thought other people were being political about something.

Who convinced you regulations were a bad thing (even when 99% of economists support them as the best free market solution) and why is that not political? Or is that just physics too?
yes you can do all those things, but they only work if you actually do them. Which they dont. They rely on AC instead.

It's great that you do, but that's not a typical school admin skillset. People who know this have zero reason to slave for a school.

> Schools classically self hosted their network services

Back when encryption wasn't even needed, hackers were a curiosity and deliverability wasn't a concern. This is never coming back. School is a very important part of people's lives (parents, children, teachers, other staff), deliverability and security must be perfect.

Schools also manage loads of very private data. As a parent, I don't want the school admin to touch it with a 10-meter pole, I want them to use a managed service that they can't screw up even if they tried very hard (and sometimes school admins look at data themselves - the less opportunity they have the better).

> It is a good opportunity to mentor future sysadmins too.

The point is to have working email that everyone can rely on, not to groom kids/teachers to become sysadmins. It's better for everyone if the school admin focuses on solving things no one else can solve (e.g. handing out the free computers and installing Linux on them) rather than wasting time tinkering with email hosting for public money.
I had lost a job at the time (company dissolved) and had been unemployed for six months by the time the offer was extended, so the choice was easy. If you currently have a high income job and a robust emergency fund, you can make other choices.

Sure, we can criticize anti-democratic actions no matter who does them. I submit that there is a difference between such action taken within one's own nation and such action taken on the other side of the planet. Hồ Chí Minh was a complicated man, but he really did try to improve the lives of his fellow Vietnamese. Somehow Truman chose to rebuff him while coddling a troglodyte like Rhee Syngman. The point is that we must have a sense of proportion. Nations should govern themselves. Accusations of deficiencies of democracy do not justify voluntary wars against remote nations who could not possibly threaten the aggressor.

Also, French and American commercial interests in rubber plantations did not justify the mass murder of Vietnamese people and large-scale bribery that was required in order to install Ngô Đình Diệm as prime minister in the first place.

Our household spends ~$670/month cooking for two adults, two children, and an infant (all meals). [1] That's $5.50/person/day ignoring the baby, and we're not trying to minimize costs (fresh fruit and veg, meat, etc). Cooking at home is more expensive if you count the time of the cook, sure, but not if you just compare dollar costs.

If you want to use the OS to ban a book or program or whatever, you don't need fancy hardware features, just a database of hashes pushed down via a software update. Apple wanted to do a version of this for CSAM images, it only didn't happen because they chose to tell users about it and got massive backlash. The implication that governments need more powerful DRM features to do something similar just obscures the fact that they could do it tomorrow if the US government gave up their free speech stances.

Just raise the cost of your permits by 66% so that after the maximum 50% penalty it still costs the same.

---

Although if the permit process was often (>50% of applications) taking over 30 days I do wonder how they achieved this faster time. Is it a less thorough review? Did they pull people from other departments? Was the person making the decision not the person who sent out the application's status and so it just sat on somebodies desk?

An improvement of efficacy of over 100% from just passing a law seems very suspicious.

No, you can spin politics on top of sport, but sport is sport. It's been an excuse for a long time for the West to discriminate Russian athletes for no other reason than them being born in Russia - in a more civilised place this would be seen nothing other than bigotry.

First they used doping as an excuse, with the West of course turning a blind eye on their own athletes' rampant use of PEDs and now they use the war with which the Russian athletes have nothing to do with. I'm sure Putin is shaking this whole time and is just about to tap out out of the war because a young athlete who has dedicated their whole life to excel at a sport and their potential having a VERY limited shelf life can no longer participate.

Think about what you're saying sometimes, buddy.

Don't worry everyone. Wikipedia says MintPress is a conspiratorial website spreading Syrian and Russian disinformation [1]. So even though all the claims in the article can be independently verified (through wikipedia itself [2], or if you go through LinkedIn's login wall), this article can be safely dismissed.

It is better to wait for a trustworthy news source, such as the New York Times [3], to verify this. I'm sure they'll get around to it just as soon as they report on the 3-year-old story of Gordon MacMillan, an active duty officer in the British Army’s online psychological operations unit, that was revealed to be the Twitter executive for the Middle East [4].

As a customer, Google's behavior sucks. But for the industry, it's good that Google continues with their self-harming behavior and lack of concern over the spreading negative perception.

> bulk up a little protein with lots of cheap filler like rice and beans

Rice and beans make a complete protein. You're writing as if people are getting less protein than they expected, but the inclusion of beans means they're probably not.
There’s no need to be that aggressive.
This actually makes laying off a recent hire sr employee more expensive. As they’d need to pay out all the equity and 16 weeks of expensive base salary.
This is probably a bit of a cultural difference. Not every English-speaking country considers the word "retarded" an ableist insult (as in, for many it has nothing to do semantically or etymologically with differently abled people). Same as the way Australians use the word "cunt" very differently than Americans.

I still don’t think this really states the difference.

In Illinois they were masking children for a solid two years. I’m talking about 3-4 year olds. The last six months the teachers didn’t need to wear masks, but the 3 year olds did.

It took a couple months for us to realize how bad this was. We dropped off our children and all the kids were spinning around in circles, showing signs of autism. The reality is none of the kids could hear each other and the teachers couldn’t give instruction. It was insane. A kid can’t learn to speak, read emotions, feel a bond, etc when wearing a mask.

Not to mention kids dont and didn’t have covid risk. These lockdowns were insane and frankly did nothing but harm.

Once my wife and I realized what was going on we took our kids out and have been home schooling since. We moved across the country to a free state and haven’t looked back.

People don’t truly understand how stark the difference is between a free and lockdown state are. The kids are normal where I am now. They play together, articulate very well, and act like kids. There’s no fear.

When I was in a lockdown state there was fear. The parents had fear, the masks were (and still are) everywhere. Half the kids were stand off-ish and wouldn’t play together.

It was only a couple months ago mask mandates were lifted for 3 year olds. The level of anger me and many parents feel is palpable. I will never forgive what was done, we will never move back. I’ll look up every politician I vote for and see their stance going forward. It wasn’t just private schools being open, it was the government forcing children to wear masks or they’d close the school.

I'm concerned that we might hire someone who worked for a company that got blocked by Google. Would they block us if that person signed in from the same IP they used previously? Should we expect prospective hires to a) know about these blocks and b) disclose them to us?
> Using cheap money to buy appreciating assets is a good use of debt.

Yeah, right up until the point that those assets suddenly diminish in value.

> Using cheap money to spend extravagantly on headcount and perks is not.

The financial system seemed to disagree and rewarded the behavior, ala stock price increases for extended period of time, up until the point where it didn't.

See the similarity now? You are merely saying that "good use" of debt is when you are winning in the game, and "bad use" is when you are losing. The financial system has for too long rewarded speculative gambling rather than value generation.
I think GP means schools buying the books are typically using public funds to do so.
Every company should have a clear policy against jumping into these kinds of support claims outside of established channels, because they are the main vector for social engineering.

There are reasons that accounts get suspended and whether or not those reasons are perfect, having humans reach in and jerk around with the system is much less perfect.
"reports"?
I might be reading into the previous poster's comment more than originally intended, but basically, most US textbooks, are basically written for use by US public schools. They are effectively being paid for by public money, because the only customer buying those textbooks are public schools funded by public money.

> For the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, K-12 traditional print represented 59% ($353 million) and 63% ($357 million) of total K-12 revenue, respectively.

This is less true at the university level, since students typically have to pay for their own textbooks, but scholarships, grants, and loans, and other public money sources that go to students are used to cover those costs.

It's a big value add for you, as a corporate IT deployer.

Outside of corporate IT, what if Microsoft uses this remote attestation to enforce binding non-corporate PCs to a Microsoft account. Some don't have a problem exposing everything to Microsoft's cloud, but Pluto sounds like it could be used to enforce this on a hardware level.

If computing devices without bondage to a cloud service are impossible, Windows has no more value proposition for me for personal computing. I'm going to stick with Apple, because at least Apple allows me to turn it all off, off seems to mean off on at least Apple iPhones/iPads (I don't have to check hundreds of weirdly named services, policy settings, scheduled tasks that are all on for some reason), and settings don't seem to randomly sneak on between updates.
