My wife has an iPhone and no other Apple devices. When that phone got bricked and she couldn't remember her iCloud password, she was completely out of luck. Available recovery mechanisms were SMS or having another Apple device. Calls to Apple went nowhere and provided no options to recover.

If that device was the one source of her access to all of the accounts she has, she would have been completely unable to do anything until purchasing a new phone and porting her phone number to that phone.
I was a paperboy for a year or so in the mid-90s, for today's equivalent of about $4/day I'd get up at 5:30am to get to the newspaper shop by 6am and deliver for maybe 30-45 mins.

It's pretty miserable work in the winter, and probably a net-negative for a teenager to be missing that much sleep, but my parents believed it "built character".
I'm actually wondering if I should shut down text messages and phone calls coming from unknown numbers. What would I lose? Basically restaurants calling me for a reservation or something but what else? Everybody I know uses WhatsApp now.
A hijab is not "effective slavery" of women. It is a religious garment that a woman can choose to wear, in America at least.

Unless you're also now telling the Amish and Orthodox Jewish communities how they have to dress? While we're at it, Mormons also have religious dress codes for women. And Hindus.
The Fed was basically announcing that they're going to cause a recession that everyone will agree on in order to get inflation down.

They've largely shut up talking in the press which has allowed the markets to rebound a bit (which will allow the rich to unwind some positions).

But the problem with inflation that we're seeing right now is that it goes beyond just an increase in oil prices, the leveling off of oil prices will not be enough to get it under control, and the Fed's stated goal of 2% inflation targets will require rising unemployment. And the Fed basically told everyone that this is what needed to happen when they were talking about focusing on core CPI instead of just oil, and talking about holding interest rates above the natural rate for some time, along with their statements that the labor market remains historically strong.

I can't quite predict when that will happen, but we're certainly not there yet.

We should also see the entire rest of the real economy get stress tested, and you can easily bet that since the last time it was tested was 2008 we'll see detonations in something else. My bet is commercial real estate goes off first due to the combined effects of the pandemic, remote work, and the recession.

There's still a lot of "work" left to be done to get into a recession. The yield curve needs to invert for a sustained amount of time, unemployment should spike and I expect it hits around 8%[*], the Fed will realize they've gone too far and start slashing rates again. We'll be talking about bailing out rich people again.

Whatever you think about how bad this is, the actual recession is going to be 10 times worse, and most of the arguments about how horrible the current economic conditions are I think can be summed up as "tell me you were too young to really remember how bad 2008 was without telling me". And this time could very well be worse than 2008. We've had even longer to build up problems in the economy (and we did basically fuck-all about regulating the banks last time) along with the fact that if the Republicans take the House they'll likely be happy to ruin the economy to hang it on Biden (probably up until the Billionaire class starts to actually hurt and yells at enough of them to knock it off).

Right now it looks like we're heading for a second half recovery in sentiment though and I don't really expect any of this to unfold until next year after higher interest rates have had time to take effect. Although towards the end of this year Wall St may start to realize that core CPI isn't coming down even though oil levels off and that interest rates will still go up, and they'll start to more accurately predict how much pain we're in for. Right now it seems like the prevailing sentiment is that the Fed has largely done their job, rates won't go up much longer and that inflation is tamed because oil leveled off, so we just had the weakest recession possible which tamed all our inflation and its back to boom times--I am extraordinarily skeptical of that take.

The IRS collects taxes enacted by Congress. We all benefit (very broadly speaking) from taxes collected via government programs and public spending; the winner has $400M they didn’t have before. No one lost except those who didn’t win the lotto.

There is nothing preventing them from providing users with more granular call-rejection controls. Their networks need to be "accessible" on the incoming call side, but that does not mean as a customer I should be forced to have every call intended for my number to be routed through to my phone.

An iptables concept with a user friendly UI would address much of this problem, particularly if we could filter on useful call origination data, or lack thereof.
Good Work Is Rewarded With More Work

In my experience, if you aren't totally useless you will eventually you will find yourself completely swamped all the time. Scheduled weeks in advanced, but also expected to be achieving much more.

Eventually you become a huge problem, you cant take vacation, and your time off in lieu just keeps collecting. You get burnt out and end up in sick leave a short time and your employer melts down because they cant function without you.

You find a new job or they fire you and the remaining employees just cant handle reality and they lose lots of customers. Then you get sued for $1.1 million because you're stealing their clients only to find out none of their clients came with. Opps on them.
My wife had to drive all the way back home from the phone store recently because I wouldn't pick up my phone for this exact reason.
Cost control is one: we spend more on health care than any other military category. The VA is a titanic cost sink, and the more we can encourage troops to be fit and promote good habits, the (hopefully) less likely it is that they'll be frequent flyers at their local VA after they're out of the service.
At least one reason: cyber-security insurance policies are starting to mandate MFA, because they are tired of paying out on insurance claims.
Yes, but think of the F150 as an entire vertical-- it accounts for ~40% of Ford's North American sales. To say they have "lots of different trim levels" is a little too basic. There are the standard XL and XLT versions, Lariat, Platinum, Limited, Tremor, Raptor and King Ranch each with their own array of add on packages and upgrades.

F150 owners treat their trucks like gamers treat their RGB desktops. Does the watercooling and lighting package really improve performance? Not really. Do nerds still spend lots of money on them? Absolutely. Putting a lift-kit on the pickup truck that drives exclusively on paved roads is similar.
Next next iteration maybe if no results show a similar one that's cached for you so there's no unavailable requests for a valid zip? And/or storing stale data with a last accessed date range.

I wish you the best of luck getting the blessing of MLS, I had an idea for something similar and couldn't get anything useful.

Also I think Zillow is litigious as part of their agreement to have access to the data (and proprietary reasons obviously)
For what it's worth, there are more reasons.

Enterprise sales can be a long process because of the procurement process at the company. You can be looking at a 9 month to 3 year sales cycle, where a sales person is going to be involved the entire time answering questions, having security assessments completed, responding to quotes from other companies, etc.

You're going to have more conversations about special implementation requirements, integration with an obscure system, special support, training and compliance needs, etc.

For a long time I've believed that every company really needs 2 "enterprise" plans.

1. Standard Enterprise

- Yes we have SAML

- Yes you can have massive discounts on overages

- Yes you can get a copy of our SOC2 Type II if you sign an NDA.

Price: $X / [month,year]

2. Custom Enterprise

- We'll complete your custom security assessment document

- Discuss special options for training and support

Price: Contact Sales
US is not lacking in CPU design. I agree OpenRISC (and RISC-V) is worthy of support, but they benefit China more than US, and it would be poor use of US tax money to benefit China more than US.
This is an excellent idea. Community engagement is something we have definitely thought about and is now part of our roadmap. Matchmaking between people could add an interesting level of communication and exchange. We will need to make sure to address any possible privacy concerns, and we'll be working on it.
Seems like maybe a good business would be listing peoples known numbers and making a caller ID app that it outside the carriers’ control that relies on … I dunno a web of trust and crowdsourced data and reputation?
For completeness sake I would add that they are Network Solutions in name only. They were purchased by web.com quite some time ago. I still have a few dozen domains with them only for the reason they are still less vulnerable to intimidation than other registrars from my experience and that is worth paying a little more than the mark-up over the internic mandated minimum registration costs. I have been on the fence about moving my domains to Mark Monitor which costs quite a bit more and may not make sense for hobby/testing/email-only domains.

For what it's worth, if you see registrars charging less than $10-15/yr/tld varies by TLD then they are making their money from their customers by up-selling other services. All of the registrars are obligated to pay a non-negotiable base fee per domain based on the TLD.

I am not a lawyer but have dealt with dozens of registrars in the US and EU. When moving domains and getting unlock codes, always do this on the phone with their customer support team. Log names and ticket numbers. If they stall or push back, tell them you need the name of their legal council for your legal team to reach out to. Also give them your ticket number to add to the case. (fictitious is ok, just make up a JIRA number). Do this without any emotion. If they say this is not a business account, mention that it is a legacy account being wrapped up into a new account. At the same time and less likely to be effective path but very likely to get their attention would be to start the process of removing their registrar accreditation, especially if you have many people in a similar situation.

I’m all for psychedelic therapy especially for those with a terminal illness and in a controlled environment with a sitter or an experienced psychonaut, but psychedelics are a double edged sword and need to be treated as such. So many going fully mentally ill after taking them.

Even voting within states are completely rigged with gerrymandering and popular vote means nothing in national elections.
Like I said, following through with implementation in accordance with the thoughts is really hard. Maybe even impossible. However, the conversation here is explicitly about the thoughts presented, not what happens in practice.
>I think this might be a difference in opinion on whether we're referring to the architecture of a codebase or architecture of a system. They're different things.

Either way you have to be hands on. I'm not sure how you can be hands on with a system without being in the code but I suppose anything is possible.

>There are still a ton of systems design considerations to take into account with a monolithic approach. Good architecture doesn't necessarily always imply a microservices architecture, I agree, but it doesn't mean all architecture concerns can be ignored - you just have a different set of things to optimise for.

Not really. You need to pick a language/framework & decide on your module boundaries. After that it's mostly building out functionality in the right module following the path your language/framework lays out.
It's the only way for businesses to not completely collapse and still meet Agenda 2030 goals of reducing emissions worldwide. I personally think that the supply chain crises will be a boon to energy and emissions reduction worldwide. That not everyone will be able to afford a big car and such, well, they'll have to adapt.
I totally expect this will be fairly effective, because there aren't any major forces pushing against.

- It's a simple technical problem to identify potential spammers. There are clear patterns & habits of robocallers to id them.

- It's fairly simple to confirm spam/scams by pretending to be a target.

- Scam spam calls, though profitable, are relatively isolated and any public support will make them easier to trace. So we aren't facing huge lobby pressure to oppose the nearly universal support for spam reduction.

So it's really just a matter of allocating the resources to do something, which is exactly what this is.
Another great thing is that they are keyboard driven. Keyboard driven computing is far more powerful than using a mouse for many things.
Proactive but not preventive. You know only after an incident occurs. While I appreciate it, the risk isn't mitigated at all unless you don't use the said service. ex. Heroku
Just a note that the comment I replied to was edited (I think the second paragraph was added?) after my comment was written. That's fine, I fiddle with my own comments all the time, but if the thread reads funny now, that's why. I'm happy to be done talking about Scott Adams for now.
At one time if you even _looked up_ the availability of a domain name they would immediately register it so if you tried to then register it at Namecheap or GoDaddy the name was taken already.

That should be illegal. (I have not bothered testing if their system still does this)

It really shines if you are doing simple CRUD APIs where you can lean on autogenerated routes, views, and serializers. Since you can get full CRUD for a model in something like 10 lines of code.

When you need to wire up custom serializers per model (eg specifying subsets of fields or making some read-only) and wire up non-CRUD actions then I think you can fall down a slippery slope where you write as much (or more) code than if you just used say marshmallow and flask to manually write your API.

Also you get the Django model admin for free, so for internal services you have a nice CRUD admin for operators.

I think it’s a great tool for accelerating your first 100-200kloc of API code. Beyond that it can start to creak at the seams depending on your usecase. (I’d make the same assessment about Django itself FWIW).
> I don't really have a close bond with anyone because I have niche interests

IMHO closeness happens from harmonious character, from personality (mainly extroversion), not interests.
Now you can contact the authors and tell them to replace the publication by your 4 lines.

And tree based models is not what you described, at most that could be a tree classifier.

EDIT: First of all sorry for my comment, I think you did not like it. My point is that what you state as obvious on how tree based methods work is most probably not what makes them powerful but the fact that you have a bunch of them. To me if there is some intuition, statistics is more prevalent than separating spaces in hyperplanes.

Here you can see the boundaries of a random forest compared to a single tree, the more dimensions you add the more blurry and unintuitive in terms of hyperplanes it gets:

Is this a function of less folks applying or less high-quality/YC ready folks applying? or maybe the funding environment being harder for graduates?
This would the correct explanation if Intel would have made no mistakes.

However, it is beyond reasonable doubt that Intel has made some extremely ugly management mistakes during their failed attempts to transition from 14 nm to 10 nm, which have absolutely nothing to do with the competition from TSMC or others.

Maybe Intel would have lost their technological advance regardless how the company had been managed, due to the difference in volume between smartphone chips and PC chips, but now we cannot know which has mattered more, the internal mismanagement or the change of the semiconductor device market favoring their competition.

I wonder if it will ever become public knowledge which were exactly the technology problems of Intel and who are those guilty for the decline at the company, because the failures could not have had any real technical causes but only bad management causes.

During their worst years Intel has been capable even of presenting to the public fake technical presentations about the alleged great characteristics of their future 10 nm CMOS process, which is something that I would never have expected from a company like Intel. The marketing messages from any company are expected to be full of lies, but the technical presentations are expected to match reality.

During many years, unlike TSMC, Intel has behaved as if it were completely unable to predict the precise characteristics of the CMOS process that they will able to manufacture in the following year.

How could this happen is very hard to understand, as the manufacturing processes and the future devices made with them can be simulated long in advance of their implementation, and the models can be tuned continuously while the processes evolve, by fabricating and measuring various test structures. Unlike for Intel, for TSMC the performance predictions for future processes have always been reasonably accurate.
Seems Wayland is still not quite at “it-just-works” parity with X. Until then I’m on X with i3. But I do want to move to sway very soon.

You are not your job. You never were. Every single person on this planet has intrinsic worth that has nothing to do with what they do or how they think. You are important regardless of where you have worked.

I often find the most painful employers and experiences are the ones that I gain the most out of in terms of development and growth. Not fun to hear in the moment but afterwards it's a gift.
Sounds like Alan Rickman! Thanks!
Build your own project for learning and make your own choices. Ideally, something that you intend actual people to use, not just toys, so real-world constraints become a factor in the decisions.

There's usually no right or wrong answer - it's all about tradeoffs. I personally prefer to keep the stack and architecture as simple as possible, but many others prefer to rely on 3rd party code as much as possible, regardless of added complexity. Sometimes my choices bite me (I have to reinvent more wheels than I was expecting), sometimes the too-many-layers-of-abstraction approach will bite too (like errors you have no idea why they happen).

Compare different solutions available to the same problem, understand their tradeoffs, and then pick what better aligns to the needs of your project. If you're working with a team, you probably will not be making that decision alone, but the process could be the same.
Sounds like your identity was your company and now it has been shattered.

Losing your identity is very scary. However, with time, you will develop a new identity. You will discover new joys and goals.

Try not to panic, the way you feel now is quite normal.

Have fun discovering the new you.

This is why things like https://sustainabledev.org/ exist. It’s far too easy to fall into the busyness trap and burn out.

Things managers can do to prevent this include:

- using a pull model of work flow

- enforcing WIP control

- using employee vacations to find bus factor problems (“hey, Brent was OOO for 2 weeks and these things were stuck, let’s fix that…”)

- creating a culture where backpressure to management is strongly encouraged

In 2013 FDA shut down 23andMe's direct-to-consumer reports because they said consumers would misunderstand genetic information and "self treat". FWIW I thought this was a dumb decision and feel lucky that I was grandfathered in to some helpful reports before the FDA put the kibosh on them.

Do you think this is a risk to you? How will you deal with the FDA?
