> I am not seeing anything that you have mentioned at all, the declaration is tiny and mentions nothing about military alliances or nuclear weapons at all.

I cite and highlight the sentence from that page: "Proceeding from the right of a nation to self-determination in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations and other international legal documents, *and Implementing the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine*, the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic solemnly declares [...]"

When the document says "implementing the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine", it references all chapters from that document (July 1990), with no exception, including the Chapter IX that mentions non-nuclear and non-military bloc principles. Simply put, the document declares the official beginning of implementation of the chapters under a new sovereign state.

> I know the Russians, and Pro Russian trolls like to call it an armed coup constantly but it reality, where the rest of the world exists it was a revolution that ousted a Russian agent that went against the will of the people and immediately ran back to his masters in Russia.

The US hearings on the event of 6th January 2021 call the thing "a coup" and "attack on the Capitol" [1]. By the same standard of the allied country, the events in Ukraine in 2014 should be identified as a coup too. And it was armed, violent, and successful too. One doesn't need to be a Pro Russian troll to discern patterns of the two similar events and the level of double-standards at play.

> the rest of the world exists it was a revolution that ousted a Russian agent that went against the will of the people and immediately ran back to his masters in Russia.

against the will of which people? How exactly do people of Eastern Ukraine fit into your narrative of the will of the people being heard during the coup, if citizens of Mariupol lost their right to representation by their elected president that didn't break the law and wasn't impeached in the first place? The chosen means to "get people heard" do not look particularly democratic to my taste. Due Process was invented for a reason, and it seems that the modern Ukrainian political tradition is not aware of it.

Spot on. There is a huge sense of entitlement from SWEs in FAANGs right now, and from the various folks I know at FAANGs, Google is worst since mediocrity and unproductiveness are not confronted because folks are scared of being 'ungoogley'. Every company has its dead weight that others have to carry, I think Google has much more and has been getting away with it because of all its profits coming in.
I was in the same situation, except she wanted kids and I do not. So I broke up with her.
We did this because we want to guarantee an excellent experience. While the Kickstarter was open to every country, kickstarter backers know to expect long lead times and needing to pay their own import duties. We have agreements with a distributor for all countries in the EU, and are very close to having ones in Canada and the UK.

Postal rates vary by country, and we've experienced more lost packages in some countries than others. Along with 30-45 day shipping times for most international packages.

Having a distributor lets us guarantee inexpensive 2 or 3 day shipping, paperwork free VAT, and easy returns for a much smoother experience overall.

Hope this makes sense!
I read "vote with your wallet" as a shorthand for not giving resources to offending entities.

It doesn't have to be literally banknotes out of your wallet. Not spending your attention or time or future on Google / Oracle / abusive digital platform of the day counts too.

I'm with BiteCode_dev here: if people manifested their business preferences clearly and consistently, by such peaceful but proactive "voting", the world would be a better place. Once you accept you have no power, you truly don't.

Actions speak louder than words, and companies listen. "Do as I say, not as I do" is not a successful recipe in general.
But there’s a fair chance that the courts will eventually declare this style of affidavit invalid, being trumped by some law or other.
No. Learning a new ecosystem is far more work and takes far more time than (so to speak) learning a few keywords of a new language.
Isn't web assembly in the browser suited for these kinds of problems? You could run the code, spit the benchmarks and save that (maybe saving the code and the time of the submit for validation.)?

Does anyone know about this?
I'm almost 40. The aging process has certainly begun, and here's what I have to say about it.

Bodily health is important. Do everything you can to stay in shape. You don't have to have bulging muscles or a six-pack, but don't let yourself go. Some of it, of course, is out of your control. Your brain is a part of your body, so do what you can to take care of both.

Intelligence-wise, some people get smarter in their 30s, 40s, 50s, likely beyond that... and some people get dumber. I'm smarter than I was at 22, but an upward trajectory isn't a guarantee. You can actually predict which way people will go: the ones who buy into corporate and accept the notion of an employer having authority are the ones who turn dumb as rocks. If you sit in meetings with people who talk about "synergizing" "at the end of the day" after a "drill down session" where we'll "boil the ocean" and "jump on" calls, you become one of them. If you spend 10 years doing work with no career value, you lose your skills. The ones who never bought in are the ones who keep getting smarter.

Which explains what ageism is really about. Bosses know that not everyone turns into an idiot in middle age. Plenty of us don't. However, the people who buy into corporate do get dumber, and the ones who preserve or improve their intelligence and skills in middle age are exactly the anti-authoritarian types who don't make the best subordinates. With a 20-year-old, you don't know which way he's going to go, and it'll be a decade from now; with someone like me in his late 30s, you know which they've gone.
I have worked for many startups and I can say for a fact founders below 30 in leadership are useless and will make a mess of things, especially when they dont have any prior experience. In contrast when the leadership is more than 30 and have prior experience they make decisions which are sound in multiple dimensions, both in terms of people, fiscally, in terms of technical capabilities and so on.

I have vowed to never work in a company where the CEO/directors are less than 30.
I also started encountering something like ageism, but more careerism. If you're old and you haven't climbed the corporate ladder, they think something's wrong with you. Why haven't you gotten Senior yet? Principal? Staff? Management? Director? It's not enough to say you don't care about money or title, they assume you're just not very good. Even though the Peter Principle shows the worst often floats to the top. So now I work for promotions just so the resume doesn't look bad. But it sucks because I don't want more responsibility, I want to just put in 40 hours of code and go home.
If you include air pollution and carbon, the price of nuclear is more than competitive with coal. And the electricity it generates can do lots of things cheaper and cleaner than unsubsidized oil and gas can (EVs and heat pumps) and it pretty fungible.

So, it's incorrect to say nuclear is more expensive, it's just easier to trace the costs compared with fossil fuels.

That might be a hard political argument to make when the government is controlled by the people getting the fossil fuel subsidies from everyone else and using them to buy politicians, but if we're talking about global civilization collapse, then we can't just sweep those things under the carpet and ignore them.
Adams has been off the rails for a long time now, and it has made its way into his comics before. The Dunning-Kruger on him is palpable.
They go to Kinmen next, watch. Not today, but wheels in motion.
> 3-panel comic strips are too small to address these topics even in a properly satiric manner.

And yet single-panel political cartoons have been doing it well for centuries. Of course they can't encompass all the nuance, 1000-word essays can't either. Cartoons (and essays) provoke discourse and critical thinking.

Or they used to, anyways.
This community is nowhere near consensus on this matter. A small minority of loud naysayers is.
Because it integrated with OracleDB.
But that's exactly what the decentralized crowd is arguing. You encode transactions and no centralized authority (e.g. a country's judicial system backed by people with guns) can override it. A natural consequence is that no one can override a mistake either.

Legal contracts in the physical world can be poorly drafted as well. But courts don't usually allow ludicrous results arising from honest mistakes.
Don't reinvent the wheel. It exists and well-done:

Many (maybe all?) native UI environments have a concept like a “logical pixel” which is scaled appropriately. I don’t know how much this project avails itself of those, but I did see that the web/WASM implementation uses `px` which in CSS is such a “logical pixel”. That has other issues on web of course, but I’d generally expect such a project to degrade on web because the native “UI” is very low level and unopinionated.

Dilbert was on point in the 90s and is on point today. 2022 Silicon Valley is full of activists with a chip on the shoulder who constantly vent on corporate forums, creating hostile environment for everyone else. Many of us has been working in diverse workspaces for past 30 years and no decent person mistreated a woman, a black coworker or a gay person. OF COURSE there are always jerks, but the vast majority hated them and reported them to HR even back then. I also worked as the sole non-Asian in a startup before and had no serious complaints on account of race. Maybe I had to try some new food at offsites, or ask people to switch to English from time to time, big deal.I will not tolerate group shaming and neither should Scott Adams.
Why don't they target income? Or wealth.

Would just seem fair that candidate must have less than median wage or net wealth in past let's say 3 years.
I got paid for my services in Monero once. It was a great experience, I wish all money worked that way. Unfortunately I had to sell it for USD because of the price fluctuations.
Ok? Some diversity hiring efforts are hardly an outrage.
> There’s also no question that natural and real numbers existed in math and language for thousands of years before complex numbers were invented.

Real numbers very definitely were not known to humans until the 1700s, except in the vaguest sense that rational numbers seemed to have gaps in them that are the roots of certain polynomials. It was only Newton and Leibniz who really had to start thinking about what continuity and limits mean, and what they did manage was very hand-wavy, just enough to sort of convince themselves that analysis works.

Fully rigorous construction of the reals was not achieved until 1871, by Cantor, although Cauchy's work earlier in the 19th century, particularly the introduction of 𝛅–𝛆 reasoning, was certainly vital. It is important to note that by that time, complex numbers had already been introduced, and indeed were of great help in figuring out the reals, exactly because reals themselves were incomplete.

But really, I digress.

> Does it make real number sense to have 2+3i dollars or apples?

Does it make sense to have 𝛑 dollars or apples? Tangible quantities are integral or rational.

Every extension of number systems was inspired by the fact that some reasonable calculations did not seem to have an answer within the set of what was at the time understood as "numbers".

Zero was introduced to reason about the question of what remains if you have n sheep and give all of them away.

Negative numbers were introduced to reason about what happens if you want to buy a sheep that costs n coins and you only have n-1 coins, ie. debt.

Rational numbers were introduced to reason about dividing a deceased father's sheep and coins among several brothers, or a year or a day into sub-periods.

Real numbers were introduced to… Well, at this point it becomes more abstract, because the only justification for the reals was the philosophical desire to talk about the length of the hypothenuse of an ideal right isosceles triangle or the length of the circumference of an ideal circle.

Complex numbers were introduced because not all polynomials of degree n > 1 seemed to have real roots at all, and others only had some number < n. It was found that this, again, was only because reals were in some way incomplete, and the roots were all there if only we could have more numbers in some sense. Today we say that the field of complex numbers is algebraically closed [1] and reals are not. This is a tremendously important property and the very reason that ℂ is seen as mathematicians as the real deal and ℝ only interesting as a subfield of ℂ.

My family was really into Chevy, but the dealership here was garbage.

My wife had a Mazda and their dealership was amazing, so we've had Mazdas ever since. There are some dealerships in town that would probably be bad, but I doubt any are as bad as that particular Chevy dealer.

Our Mazda cars have been great, too, of course, or it wouldn't matter how good the dealer was.

i don’t think we should be portraying ageism as something cool or acceptable. it is a huge problem in our industry that this discrimination exists. i’ve started to experience this stealth discrimination when i turned 40.
I take the attitude of "my only purpose is to help this person".

I don't care what they say, how they say it's how wrong (or right) they are or who (if anyone) made a mistake.

I only care about "what is the most helpful thing I can do for this person".

I have apologised, explained internal constraints, identified where our processes have failed, offered video calls, empathised if I felt it would help, however I am mainly looking to "solve the problem this person has" within the limits of my authority.

Look for the facts, ignore the rest, and be helpful and kind.

Also, being sole developer and supporting customers is very hard. I'd be trying to separate me from the software and the customer issues, see them as independent from one another but nevertheless influencing each other (customer issues help you identify what to improve!)
> leaked document from MI5 and MI6, urging spies to acknowledge their “white privilege” and declare their pronouns.

For espionage against their own population they probably fully deserve a little humiliation here and there. Now do your pronoun, be a leader, and please bend over just a little.
> But the fact remains that women and minorities are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to just about all aspects of life

How does that square with the fact that the homeless and prison populations are mostly men? And men do the most dangerous jobs? And most social programs are aimed at women? And divorce favors women? And men die younger? And women outnumber men in college?
What has happened to Scott Adams is what happened to a lot of people in the last 20 years, internet radicalization. I first noticed this with Islamic extremism in the 2000s, now the same thing is happening to liberals and conservatives in 2010s.

The way we engage on the internet is toxic and over time leads to radicalization and violence. We have not provided anyone with outlets to compromise or pathways to understanding. We just live in filter bubbles cursing each other every day for the most minor of offenses. Tech companies have also continually isolated people from healthy community engagement.
It was an early decision in Stripe's history, which is the example system in the article.
Thanks for naming names. I wish I had known about this before we subscribed to their service, I wouldn't have done it. Companies who do things like this deserve to die and the investors deserve to lose their money. It's got to be horrible for morale of the people there, and eventually horrible for their product as a result. There's just some companies you shouldn't do business with if you can help it.
Ageism in tech is super real.

I was sitting at lunch the other day at my large tech company office when I overheard a wonderful conversation from the table behind me about the "kinds" of managers a team might have that included this snippet:

"I mean, you could get someone midcareer, say age 25 or so, and they'll be really fiery and excited, but they won't know everything yet. But it means that you can figure it out. Or, I mean you could get someone super senior like 35, and then they'll be the expert but they'll be old and slow"

Not only did this go entirely unchallenged, but everyone seemed fully in agreement.

This is one example, but conversations like this that assume that by 35 or at most 40 you're all worn out and washed up are fairly common.

Having started this job during COVID, I didn't realize how young everyone in my company is, but after this conversation, I realized that I only know one engineer over 40 here.

(I know some managers that are over 40, but none that I know are yet 50.)
what a great use of our tax dollars!
There’s a lot of justifiable hate against dealerships but I think the hate against them for markups is not justified. Clearly there are people willing to pay above MSRP. If the dealerships don’t markup the vehicles then scalpers will buy at MSRP and resell the vehicles at a markup. As bad as the dealership experience is there is less chance for fraud or theft at a dealership than from a scalper.

In a lot of places there are two scenarios in the local car market. One dealership will sell at MSRP but you’ll have to wait 4 to 6 months. Another has inventory but at a significant markup. You can buy now and pay more or wait a while and pay less. Choose the option that fits your situation. Of course, the best option would be to properly fund public transportation.
I have the feeling "express concerns" here is a much softened description of what actually happened? Could it be that whatever you said would be inconsiderate regardless of the target?

>We were on AWS Managed Airflow, but to stay on it and have a solid platform, I would have been writing Github Actions for CI/CD, standing up ECR and IAM roles with Terraform, setting up EKS to run Kubernetes jobs, managing infra monitoring with Datadog, etc., etc.

Yes that's not abnormal for a Google PM.

Basically it takes ~2 weeks of initial phone screening and scheduling, then another ~4 weeks that will involve setting up the full day of interviews and collecting feedback and making a decision on whether or not to hire.

So basically after ~6 weeks from first being contacted by a recruiter, you know whether or not Google wants you. This is not unreasonable for a large company.

BUT -- this is just as "generic PM". Because then there needs to be a match made between you and a specific PM position.

And so this is where you basically wait around for a PM position to be open that is in a geographic location where you're willing to work and the team thinks you're a good fit. If you're willing to relocate anywhere in the world (or especially Mountain View) it's not going to take anywhere close to 9 months. But if you're only willing to work in Boston, for example, it may very well take that long. Over those 9 months, you might wind up having ~3-hour interviews with 5 different teams seeing if you're a good fit. Also remember that even if a team wants you, you might decide you don't like the team (e.g. you want to be a PM on something closer to Waymo than to Ads).

Also remember that PM jobs aren't nearly as fungible as software engineering jobs -- if it's an enterprise product they might want a PM with an enterprise background, if a consumer hardware product then a PM with consumer hardware experience.

But it's not like you're having a new interview every week for 9 months or anything. It simply can take 9 months to match up the right person for the right role when there are geographic constraints.

Again, I make no claim as to the merit; however, to dismiss these claims out of hand without looking at the evidence first, even if the article contains hyperbole, does not do the claim justice. Suppose, for the sake of argument that the author is right about the empirical statements on pornography; in that case, there may well be a 1A-friendly case for at least a temporary ban on porn. That was the only point I was making.
