Amazon invests a lot in its own wind and solar parks. Because of that, energy prices on the open market shouldn't affect them too much.

This is misunderstanding how billionaires get their wealth. It's mainly from investments and equity, not income. Share of wealth is a better number to look at. The top 1% now own close to double what they did in 1980:

The numbers for 0.1% and 0.001% are even more extreme:

One thing he got very, very wrong: technological advances -- faster computers, better languages, better compilers, better editors -- have blown programmer productivity through the roof. Another is that "object-oriented" programming turned out not to be very important, and rather a distraction.
Yes, I mean in the end the startups from today are the enterprises of tomorrow. And we can learn and build while growing with them.
I see your point about trust. That definitely takes time to build up. Companies like Zeplin already work with us. It would be amazing getting the opportunity to convince you too!
What's "everything"? Wealth isn't fixed.
You are right that people can absolutely form co-operatives. However, if I wanted to work on, say, World of Warcraft, I could hardly show up and demand Blizzard be turned into a co-operative.

Maybe you meant “well, if people are so upset by the status quo, why don't they just all quit and form their own co-operatives to make Starcraft 3?”. This is a great point, and a really interesting question. I think we should all encourage these more just ways of organising companies, but I think people really hesitate to do this because it's really drilled into us culturally that the current system is the only way. In particular, we want to be successful, and be seen as successful, and we get a lot more points in that category if we work for a successful corporation such as Meta, compared to forming some ragtag co-operative.

I do think, and hope, that this is starting to change. I admire the fact that sourcehut [0] is basically organised as a co-operative, and for that matter, so is Valve.

So stop giving the Trillionaires your money.

They have that trillion because we buy things from them... from Amazon, from Tesla, etc. You don't like those things exist? Stop exchanging your money for their goods/services.
> We, as humans, are only entitled to what we can ourselves provide.

So then why do we have inherited wealth, why not ban that. Make things equitable, born with nothing but you can scavenge yourself.

> To believe otherwise may be to hoist the black flag to take from others that which they did not earn.

You mean like "private property"?

Your logic only makes sense in an equitable world, where everyone is born equal, but that's not the case. Just look at the wealth inequalities around the world, like 1% of people owns majority of all wealth.
Finland has a lot of nuclear and hydro, which are stable sources. Hydro can get dirt cheap since production is basically constant even if demand is low.
Yeah, I was just thinking something similar. "Rich means someone who earns more than me". As someone pointed out, even earning $50K a year puts you in the top 1% globally and arguments about "it's all relative" aside, I think most people are a bit more attached to their income than they think "rich" people should be.

I think the sad truth is that a lot of us don't necessarily believe deep-down that us forgoing, say, 10% of our potential income will actually be an investment into the world but will simply be sucked up somewhere else. That's why I like schemes like micro-investment where you can see that your money is genuinely invested in making the world better.
It was mos likely not targeted. The fact that theh forked up the cash for yubikeys is the only thing impressive everything else is standard incident response.

This seems to me like a credential harvesting campaign. Most likeli there is a trojan app that was used which used a list of contacts to spread.

It noted that the employee's families were also contacted, this tells me CF does BYOD for mobile phones.

I make a point out of not using my personal phone for anything work related because of this and many other reasons. Not only should companies pay for and manage employee's work phones, using a personal phone for work reasoms should be disallowed. Work phones can be restricted to not have unapproved apps.

While yubikeys are phish proof, the attackers could habe instead asked users to download an authentication app which would steal cookies to bypass yubikeys by letting them login to the right CF portal but in a trojanized in-app browser.
I remember Netflix quickly putting a stop to that by delaying sending out new discs when you got above some weekly threshold. I would drop off my Netflix returns at a huge, regional post office sorting facility, and I knew the discs got back to Netflix in less than 24 hours, yet they would claim they did not receive them for days. Instead of admitting to throttling, they played a shady game.

Correlation != Causation is the midwit take, so very appropriate for Reddit

Correlation implies a relationship that should be investigated for causal agents or hidden factors.
They are presumably smart enough to distinguish cloudflare from an actual threat actor. Collaboration between infosec teams is very common, and people in the infosec world often have working relationships which survive over multiple periods of employment, so impersonation is less likely.
That makes sense.

Everyone leaves, they have no partners and it’s all run by college grads?

Just thinking through the premise of: Big4 folks arent capable of high level thinking that’s why they leave for “greener pastures”, implies that the “greener pasture” employees are less competent than the Big4. Otherwise, why would they hire folks from Big4?
It has gotten so bad that I now wait to I'm on my laptop before I post to Facebook.

I did try the app again recently and it was bad in other ways (eg not using my phone's photo picker. As the photo I wanted was on a cloud service I couldn't select it from the app)
Germany shut down all their nuclear plants about 10 years ago, opting to rely on natural gas from Russia.

Finland invested in nuclear and is bringing their latest plant online this fall.

It doesn't take a genius to see which one would be hit harder by sanctions on Russian gas.

Contrarian counterfactual myth
> Why are they killing the union leaders if unionization does not work?

They're killing union organizers because unionization _does_ work... when the organizers don't die in the middle of setting up a union.

(Of course, "works" doesn't mean "works perfectly and always", or that unions don't have their own internal challenges and risk of bureaucratization etc. etc.)
The instantaneous market price that everyone pays is the marginal cost of the most expensive power source currently online.

For nearly every country worldwide, that is gas turbines most of the time. Even if 90% of power generation is coming from solar, it's the 10% gas that sets the price (since the marginal cost of installed solar is near zero).

Gas prices in Europe vary by region, but are pretty much determined by gas transport capacities to Germany. Ie. Germany has the highest prices because of government mandates to fill storage. Any place with good gas transport links also has high prices. Places with few/no pipelines to Germany and an independent supply have low prices.

And that is why Germany is twice Finland (Finland gets gas from Norway, and neither has big pipelines to Germany).
I didn't see any acknowledgment of the effect computer monitors could have had in muddying the data. Some monitors represent colors differently. In fact if you don't use a gamma-corrected monitor then you have no chance at all.
Interesting, but looking at their map they will go live in Germany in 2025. Which is way too late to ride this out.
Global / worldwide.
Can you name a few specifically?
I wonder if this can be remediated by covering the chickens run in a deep layer of mulch and shredded leaves, letting that compost over time as the chickens poop and scratch in it. Over time the layer of contaminated soil could be buried deeper under fresh compost. I also wonder if you could innoculate the wood chips with a fungus whose mycelium could filter out the soil a bit.
Great question! Maybe they are, maybe they're not, and you're right that this should influence how the company is structured. But our current system goes quite a bit past simply "solving" this problem with investor shareholders, because that sole shareholder is entitled to any future profits the company makes, regardless of whether it makes a completely different game, and regardless of the massive contributions future employees may have made in the meantime. What do you think? I discuss this in more detail in this essay: https://vladh.net/alternatives-to-wage-labour

There's a few ways to go about that. Someone made a post on Reddit with details for two different POE injectors that can be used.
Basically , to outsmart this algorithm you can use deniability attack

You just say that someone imitated your style. It's not like binary has cryptographic signature of person who compiled it, even then you can say that someone stole your private key.
This stuff is not the product of advocacy for capitalism or the free-market. It's literally watered-down Maoism, of the kind that would've been common in Europe and elsewhere starting in the 1970s - complete with its promise of a Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and its resolute getting rid of everything that's old, traditional and therefore privileged, bourgeois or otherwise "counter-revolutionary". The whole ideological stance of so-called social justice is really, really old-hat to those who are familiar with this stuff, but North American populist leftists remained a naïve, susceptible population for rather obvious reasons - ideological conflict was not nearly as salient there in the past decades as it would've been elsewhere in the West.
If you have an old farmhouse on your rural property, it's highly likely that it was painted with lead-based paint at some point in its history. Likely many times, in fact. A lot of the soil contamination comes from lead paint flaking off as it weathers. Fortunately(ish), this is mostly confined to the adjacent areas.

Given that you likely have more space in which to free range your chickens, the problem is now reduced to free ranging them away from the house. Arranging this is left as an exercise to the reader :-)
it sounds like a scam. If it hurts sales you've paid for it would be hard to argue differently.

The city I live in does something like this too! I thought it was pretty cool: https://www.wakegov.com/departments-government/waste-recycli...

> The Landfill Gas-to-Energy facility is currently producing ±8.5 Megawatts of continuous power. 8.5 Megawatts of electricity can power a minimum of 8,500 homes during peak demand and about 17,000 homes off peak.
All the celestial bodies that make up the system are in free fall (acceleration) toward the center of the system.
Gravity is the action that tries to maintain a defined acceleration towards the gravity source according to the distance from the gravity source.
Therefore, if the gravity source accelerates, the gravitational action should be considered different from when the gravity source is stationary.
Sciama named this action "inertial induction" and proposed it.
All the stars that make up the galaxy are in free fall (acceleration) toward the center of the galaxy. Current calculation methods do not take this fact into account at all.
There is no way that the observation can be explained by a calculation method that ignores the facts.
I have written a paper* on how the inertial induction of stars works in galaxies.

*N. Namba, "Stellar movement in the galaxy explained by inertial induction", Phys. Essays 15, 156(2002)

In addition, I mentioned the essence of gravity and inertia in a 2014 paper, showing that the existing theory of gravity is incomplete.

Fascinating suggestion.

Let me toss a q back to you: when you work that strategy for a deck, do you subsequently send it first and gather feedback, or do you prefer to talk through it with that person? I've always preferred talking through presentation drafts as I feel the "talk-track" is the essential piece, not the particulars of the slides. But curious to hear what you've done in past or now
No, it is not wage theft, because wages are not assets. The shareholders take the risk. Employees get their salary regardless of whether the game is a success, flop, or somewhere in the middle. Bonuses tread that middle ground. I personally do not like bonuses, but they are exactly that: give the employee the opportunity to partake in the profits in a way that exposes him to some risk.
Why bother with mini farts when there are far larger methane leaks? https://www.ecowatch.com/methane-leak-russia-coal-mine.html
A clear case of over-focusing on the problem.

Should I applaud that in a few years we will be able to visualise individual animals' methane emissions when clearly this follows a Pareto distribution and shutting down the largest offenders will have the greatest impact.

Instead it seems we want to congratulate ourselves again that we created more data points about our methane-guilt. It is clear to me that if this kind of tech can be used to slap fines on people it will. And so we can create new markets for allowable methane emissions!
I'm confused somebody even uses a mathematical model of color. Human perception of color is certainly a matter of biology. I'd have expected this paper to be a study of retinal cell response saturation or some such. Which is whatever it is, never mind famous mathematician's opinions.

You're thinking of Norway. Finland does not have any oil reserves at all.
There are a bunch of estimates out there, but the best guess is that starlink can currently serve around 300 terminals per cell.

Each cell is 146 miles, which is around 2 terminals per square mile.

People may be clustered a bit, giving the illusion of starlink being able to support a higher density than this.

Starlink isn't as scalable as people want to imagine due to the RF bandwidth SpaceX has as well as power requirements. This is part of why SpaceX made such a big deal over the 12GHz band that Dish wants to use.

The next version of satellites may be able to support additional bands which will help, but starlink's still going to be fairly limited in terms of number of people it can support.
Only 0.2% of the electricity is generated from oil in Finland. But Finland produces a good quarter of its electricity from nuclear power. Maybe that makes a difference?
You got on the one hand, the Open Free Market System in America, you have on the other hand, the exact opposite, the closed, controlled, command economy of the Soviet Union…

The Chinese tried the Communist model, with their own modifications, and it failed! And they have admitted that it failed.

I believe I understood your point, we are just treading a fine line, which is:

You need to work for a living, and while you´re not a slave (because it´s not forced labor), your livelihood depends on it - and that has a conditioning effect on many levels (emotional, financial, relationships...)

Of course we always used a form of work to sustain ourselves, the difference might just be on the rewards we get from it.

Maybe that´s why some people exaggerate when they say they´re slaves of work, perhaps is a coping mechanism that allows them to frame that activity as something they´re being forced to do, rather than a deliberate choice they´re not happy about.
GitHub organizations are not legal entities.

As far as I know, Tornado Cash is not a legal entity either.
If you don’t trust their estimates, Look up estimation poker. The whole team plays. It’s a good way to keep everyone honest with regards to estimation and allows everyone to learn hidden things that someone else may see.
How this should be used? does it define a standard way of reporting incidents/events?
I think you're talking there of the lacking bridge between empathy and compassion (the willingness to act)?

An inability to even empathise is generally indicated as tending towards sociopathy.
If you want a take from the former general in charge of US forces in Europe rather than randos and disbarred barristers, this stuff is more optimistic:

"Ukrainian forces could wipe out all of 'exhausted' Russian troops' territorial gains, retired US general says" https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-exhausted-russian-tr...

There was also an interesting take on the business before the war even started by Mikhail Khodarenok - ex-head ... of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, Colonel https://nvo.ng.ru/realty/2022-02-03/3_1175_donbass.html In Russian but Google translate works well. It points out a lot of difficulties that seem to have come to pass including:

>It is also worth recalling that the mighty Stalinist NKVD and the multi-million Soviet army fought the nationalist underground in Western Ukraine for more than 10 years. And now there is an option that the whole of Ukraine can easily go into the partisans. In addition, these formations can easily begin to operate already on the territory of Russia.

which seems to be playing out just now with stuff blowing up in Crimea and Belarus.
I've concluded that LinkedIn is like Reddit. Your experience with it depends very much on which parts you go to.

If you stick to the networking and direct messaging there are sometimes useful opportunities and some of the people there are worth the connection. Some of the better recruiters also post real roles they have available with useful details.

If you see your home page feed for longer than it takes to click to somewhere else then you're probably doing it wrong.
In 1985, FARC entered a peace process and began working electorally and non-violently. The right never went for this and despite the government agreeing to a peace settlement, the right slaughtered political candidates, trade union leaders, etc. So eventually FARC reformed and began its armed campaign again. Something to think about for complaints about FARC "terrorism" from 1985 on. Actually they began doing so well that the US began having to bankroll the Colombian military with Plan Colombia (not a new thing, Kennedy was doing the same thing on a smaller scale).
I wouldn't want to work at a place where they ask you this.
A meme? You've said it simplifies dependencies and then go on saying you can install stuff locally, forgetting how much of a nightmare it is to maintain OS-level dependencies, especially when an app depends on a specific version and another app depends on another version.

Containers solve real problems and are here to stay. Feel free not to use them, but saying they're a meme is just trying to be edgy.

Keep on containerising applications.

Sincerely, a sysadmin that has been fighting conflicting dependency requirements, deprecated packages and major distro upgrades for more than a decade.
Should something that "trips the red flags" result in someone being treated that way? I would think at this point the security police would already know the "story behind" it, or if they don't it doesn't seem like more of the same kinds of interrogations are going to help; do you think they learn more of the "story behind" it each time? Or, what do you think the point of that treatment is? Do you think it is making the country safer? (and after all, as a US citizen who has not been charged of any crime, he is eventually let back into the country each time. So... what is the point of this?)
> Yes, there is a question over the representativeness of Mechanical Turk workers.

There are more fundamental issues. Having run several studies either with MTurk or panel providers who use MTurk to source some/most of their respondents, I have trouble trusting any study with an MTurk sample that doesn't explicitly show 1. how they verified respondent location and demographics and 2. how they controlled for bots and mindless click-throughs.

Even though they used a convenience sample, issues like reading comprehension (which you can get from non-native English speakers VPN'ing through a US-based IP) and participants trying to get through the study as quickly as possible - or automating their responses altogether - absolutely matter.

I think its more fair if you say your intentions from the start so nobody feels ripped off.
The commenters above (who I agree with) are suggesting the following, I think:

Rather than write this:

> This take is disingenuous and horribly uninformed and very shortsighted.

Write this instead: "This take is horribly uninformed and very shortsighted."

Think of this way: we're asking if you can find ways to not assume bad faith in another party.

> If they are ignorant and still feel compelled to pass false claims on how significant changes are instead trivial just to try to downplay the real world challenges, they are undoubtedly being disingenuous.

From the Apple dictionary:

>> disingenuous: not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does: he was being somewhat disingenuous as well as cynical.
