On one hand, yes, but realistically, if I am achieving the work I am assigned and contributing acceptably at meetings, then I should get the pay. If it took the IT department to notice a jiggler app and flag the employee because the manager was so asleep at the wheel, then the manager either needs to be fired with the employee or everyone needs to accept the behavior and move on. You get a couple of weeks grace when you're hired, but eventually people set a work rhythm and shouldn't be able to hide forever.

If more work is demanded, then maybe the pay should be increased accordingly, because they clearly were willing to pay the guy what he already got for the work he was already doing.

And I would welcome all these idiot managers getting the boot because they're too busy playing politics and planning power grabs to spare a thought for what is happening in their own kingdoms. A great leader is a huge force multiplier for a team and we need opportunities for talent to get promoted.

I do agree there is a feedback loop with some economic but also political alignment. However, while I agree that the media to some degree is giving people "what they want", the media can stop it (including social media and journalistic media) --they have that power. As you noted in China, the media do restrain themselves from amplifying things they want to suppress and feed their audience the political line of the day. It's not people setting the tone of journalism and media in China, it's the media that is doing that.

I'm about to move several domains to them, I'd love to know what I'm getting myself into.

Thanks!
Not OP so I don't know what TLD they had but out of curiosity, I went to see how much it would cost to register a .com and it was $20/year plus free privacy only for the first month with a $1.99/month fee after. That's basically like $24 for privacy a year (which most registrars offer for free) plus the domain. That's already $44 for a .com.

That sounds like an interesting issue. Could you perhaps go into more detail?

No. There is no special case, and the logic (literally) runs in the same switch case. https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/397255/4/src/strco...
I didn't give a statistic in this quote, so I won't cite one. Illumos Zones are shared-kernel isolation: all the tenants share a kernel attack surface. That's not sufficient for untrusted cotenants; any kernel LPE compromises the whole scheme. The kernel's attack surface is drastically larger than (say) the KVM attack surface.

Those are competing games, though. In this case the game is the exact same game.

It'd be more like if you could chose to play CoolGameThatPeopleLove on for-pay servers owned by a company known for sponsoring a bunch of really good players who play exciting games and who you would _love_ to have a chance to play against, or play on community-run server with people who are great, sure, but they're just randos on the internet just like you. You can either pay and feel like you're part of the big league, even if you'll never play the big players yourself, or you can pay nothing and just play the community because you don't care about big name players.

But then a big name player who you could never hope to even accidentally play decides "fuck it, why not?" and starts streaming themselves playing on the same free server you play on! That's amazing!

But not for the sponsor: the whole reason they sponsored this person is because they were very intentionally (through their sponsor contract) made unavailable as an opponent to the world at large, effectively using them as an incentive to join the paid platform. It directly damages the paid service if that player even connects to the community service under their public, adored, identity.

(Crucially in this setting, no one "owns the game", instead they "own" part segments of the player base)

For context: A "point" can be worth from $0.005 to $0.009 depending on how you use them.

When I stay at a Hilton, I get points per dollar spent not including taxes. But including hotel restaurants.:

- 10x - base points everyone gets

- 10x - Diamond status for having the Amex Hilton Aspire card

- 14x - every dollar spent at a Hilton including taxes and fees..

So that's 34 points per dollar that I usually would say is worth $0.17 to $0.23 per dollar in points.

Also with Hilton, if you pay for four nights with all points, you get the fifth night free. You also don't pay taxes and fees when you pay with points. We are planning to stay for free at least 40 days next year in various big cities across the US.

You also get 10K points for each 10 days you stay over 30 and an additional 30K points after you stay over 60 days. Hilton is usually running some kind of special. For instance from May through September, you get an additional 20 points per dollar when you stay more than 3 days. That's 54 points per dollar or almost 38 cents per dollar toward future stays.

Airlines aren't nearly as generous - ever.

I travel maybe 6 times a year for business and collect points using "other people's money"
2001 was a short and mild recession (and was widely debated up until shortly after 9/11, and then often blamed on 9/11 even though it started six months earlier.)

It felt worse and later because lots of people suffered from the poor distributional features of the following expansion more than the recession itself.

At this point I'm nearly an old man yelling at a cloud, but anytime a junior engineer starts I try to go over a handful of basic security things. Seems that most people coming out of school are aware of SQL injection and XSS, but the concept of client-side security is no security is not sinking in, even after it's been explained.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out why, and the best I can come up with is that they just think something like the following myths:

* Nobody would ever do that.

* Nobody would ever hit the API directly.

* It would be too hard to do that for somebody who isn't the developer.

* The need for an auth token would make it impossible to hit it with curl or another client.

* Nobody can change the client code because it's obfuscated and unreadable for humans.

Doing it on the server side is harder and a pain in the ass, so there's a lot of incentive to do it on the client and not worry about the server. It particularly doesn't help that as an industry now we're obsessed with speed and quality be damned. We can always fix it/do it right later (spoiler alert: you never do and you never have time because there will always be important new features that are high priority).

The accountants took over the company, and the good engineers left.

I have witnessed this with other companies; and I am sorry they are never going to return to what they once were.

It is kind of obvious when you chat with all the sad employees: Why didn't you leave? And then you realise that the ones, who are left, are the ones who couldn't get a job elsewhere.
That's a "quirk" of everything that can be enjoyed without consuming it, right? If I hang a painting on the wall, the artist doesn't get paid when my guests look at it.

It's about incentives. I am more than happy to pay $0.65 to Fidelity for my options trades, because I know that Fidelity's incentive is to get me the best possible price. Commission fees are absolutely negligible compared to price improvement with a real broker.
Just working more to afford necessities isn't the same thing as putting money back into the economy. Less disposable income across society means lower economic activity.

As a startup founder, "being swamped" is bad.

As an employee, "being swamped" might be amazing:

If your skills are so critical to the company's success that management has features wait for your high-quality attention rather than letting a less senior colleague work on it, that basically just means that you get a rockstar salary and the freedom to write your own employment contract. I get why having "swamped employees" is disliked by the company, though. It drives up salaries.
I always surf with "showdead" on. IME, around 98% of the "dead" posts are dead for good reason - either really obvious spam, or low-effort hostile snark in places where it's nowhere near being an appropriate response.
Yup. My exact thought upon seeing the headline. Reading the article didn't really bring me away from this reaction either, still feels like a whole lot of bunk.
This sounds very interesting and I am tempted to sign up. But the biggest worry for me is the privacy of the data. There is a mention on the website that data isn't shared without consent. But that can always change in the future once VCs get involved and they are trying to maximize revenue. Or the business model changes.
This bill would make lawful the possession, obtaining, giving away, or transportation of, specified quantities of psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), ibogaine, mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), (MDMA) for personal use or facilitated or supported use, as defined, by and with persons 21 years of age or older.

It's great that this is an attempt at real decriminilization rather than sentencing reform or some form of deprioritization that doesn't change the criminal law.

It would be nice if one of the facilitated uses is to give the legislators the option to experience some of these substances so that they can make better informed law. But probably not when in session.

At my last job we have an “Inclusion Advocate” (a white woman) who was explaining to an East Indian team that they were disadvantaged and oppressed because of their skin color. Many of them were confused, some were noticeably uncomfortable and I think one may have even filed a complaint.

It's very rockstar live fast die young mentality. (at least half of it, the other half I agree with) Assuming they value art, I find in my own life that stability gives me more time to work on and finish art. Drinking less, exercising three times a week etc, for me it allows me to be more deeply transgressive or unconventional, not less so.

I agree. But by the same token, we don't need to do something about the others before doing something about TikTok. Where would we be today if we accepted the argument that before addressing tobacco companies we must first address alcohol companies, and before addressing alcohol companies, we must first address tobacco companies?

Arguing that X shouldn't be regulated because Y is not yet regulated is never a legitimate argument.

You can still use OpenGL. Just not the vendor provided drivers. They are indeed horrible. There are libraries like:

* ANGLE ( https://github.com/google/angle ) - An OpenGL ES implementation with Direct3D 9, Direct3D 11, Desktop GL, GL ES, Vulkan and Metal backends. This is what we used to use for shipping our Qt 3D application, that used a bunch of OpenGL Shaders. We used to get bug reports about various shaders not working properly on various hardware. After switching to this, all those bug reports vanished.

* Zinc ( https://www.supergoodcode.com/do-not/ ) - A more recent, OpenGL implementation on top of Vulkan. I haven't used this one yet. But they are making a lot of progress and it is almost as performant as vendor provided OpenGL Drivers these days. So if I ever have to ship a desktop app, needing opengl, I'd strongly consider using this.

Why is the Discovery channel a bunch of cheap to produce shows about ghost hunters or whatever it is these days? MTV long since is all reality TV and nothing about music. Pushing drivel like Heard-vs-Depp drives ad revenue and is what "the people" want to watch, and they can most easily get more revenue by trying to hook as many people as possible on that stuff. The fact that you in particular are turned off by all that is mostly irrelevant to them because you're no longer the target audience.
Competition is not "monetary damages." There are oodles of orthodox file managers[1], and several of them are named "Commander" so it's not like there is a trademark case here. Compatibility with competitors software is also quite well established as being legal.

Ah you're right. I was remembering some opinions from Go folks on HN, but I should avoid conflating that with the actual Go team.
Couple of questions:

- Do you have an example of what a report looks like?

- What's your turnaround time?

- Do you have an option to do one test if we're unsure we want to commit to a year?

- Can we do anonymized user information from the start, ie not providing name, address, etc (given recent supreme court decisions, it's not off the table that one day insurance companies would be allowed to access this data)
Entertainment is not a waste. Arguably playing a game like chess probably has mental benefits over other forms, so it could be argued that people choosing this form of entertainment over another is an optimization in and off itself.

Some people have days of time driving 4x4s, or sitting on the beach, or reading a book. Do you consider all of that time "wasted" also? (hint, it isn't, for that person)

If he were still alive he would definitely be retired by now and I'm sure I could ask him. With that some conjecture on my part...

Despite being top of his field he was a professor, department head, and dean at a state school (University of Illinois). The current department head (according to the Illinois Salary Database) has a total compensation of $177,386.64 annually.

Adjusted for inflation to the last year he as was alive (2010) this would have been roughly $142,000. Considering the level of education, work load, stature, etc this isn't exactly impressive. Being in tech my first position when I was 21 years old I was making more money than his salary at the time (2006 or so).

Additionally, shortly after taking the department head position at UIC they were consistently ranked as a top 3 OT program by US News. His income was supplemented by adjunct professorships around the world, book sales (almost nothing from what I remember), and speaking engagements. More important than income was maintaining stature and standing in the field to if nothing else keep the department ranking. I'm sure there was plenty of pressure from the university on that.

It's not difficult to imagine this is a vicious cycle. Between "publish or perish", the pressure to maintain department and personal standing, etc all of this was essentially part of the game. He was a total package deal across the board.

From what I understand the model he developed is the most widely practiced OT model in the world (to this day). At a certain point I suppose a decision to "get out of the game" and maintain nothing other than his professorship could have very well resulted in losing everything - I don't know that tenure could even have saved him from that.

Even though he made practically no money from book sales more or less "writing the book" in his field was the vehicle that drove the entire thing.

It's not hard to imagine that getting off the treadmill could have resulted in him being relegated as a washed-up has-been to a C-level program somewhere.
Do you have concerns about over-diagnosis, turning people in patients unnecessarily? Can this information creating outsized worry and psychological impacts that exceed the potential problem that may or may not eventuate? In the US I imagine there are also insurance implications.

What meaningful file operations do people do day-to-day? I download stuff to my Desktop or Downloads folder and regularly delete it, but that's only when it's not in a package manager. Beyond that, everything's managed by editors/IDEs/web-apps, and code mostly has established hierarchies that don't change too often. Something has to go horribly wrong for me to ever want to do major surgery on files like a deep copy of a directory, especially in the age of git. The last major copy operation I did was moving my Steam library, which Steam did itself.

Back in the day with Midnight Commander and lynx key bindings, it was a nice way to quickly navigate around a codebase and see what's up, but these days I'd probably do that on GitHub. Even before that, my main use of Norton Commander was editing Windows startup files, and creating a parallel cable connection to my brother's PC to play DOOM. I can't remember the last time I opened my file manager tbh.
this is the most resonant comment I've seen in months, as it entirely fits my experiences in engineering inside Apple, and later Amazon and Facebook.

the inner sanctum of very flat Apple was as far from feudalism as could be, for my several years, and it functioned like a very performant ecosystem of engineering. This diametrically contrasts precisely with Amazon engineering, where I saw all the horrors of feudalism and generalized nepotism (racism for example, sexism promoting incapable people to fit quotas, and flagrant corruption). Facebook was somewhere more like Apple but not in its DNA...just in the imitation is flattery sense.
People regularly call gambling and especially the lottery a tax on the stupid because the odds are so bad it’s like paying a tax for being stupid enough to play. It’s just a saying people have, you don’t have to be pedantic, it’s not literal.

The OPs point is that it’s gross the government participates in taking money from people through the lottery, many of whom likely have a gambling addiction.
