That isn't even right because almost every single victim of caste discrimination is an Indian themselves. If there are caste allegations outside India, then it can only be from Indians themselves. Covering it under the wide umbrella of anti-India smear campaign is disingenuous at best.
I don't know about that - you can track the F150 over time and a 1980's F150 of pickup carrying pickup fame is significantly more aggressive looking than a 2022 F150.

You sell out by selling your soul to the devil. Many Hollywood actors trade their soul for a slice of fame and prestige. What does this mean, in a scientific sense? It means you're not really 'you' anymore and have become a slave to a system that has high rewards, but little authenticity.

I have a 2014 model an I only use it for narrative reading. I'm not sure the UX has caught up with the need to quickly go between different areas of a book. But I hear the new Kindle Paperwhite has a really fast refresh.
Distance is of course a factor, but at fixed distance size matters a lot, and most applications are at more or less a fixed latency.
They do not "presume" anything. They state clearly that the old version of the library was causing performance problems. They also state that 32k is noticeable on slow connections, which it absolutely is. In fact, on unstable connections, it can mean the difference between the site loading and not loading. Reliability is critical for government services. They also mention that the work improved the codebase and the developers' experience with it, which is a criminally underrated means of improving efficiency and therefore reducing cost.

All in all, this sounds like fantastic work relative to what we normally expect from government end user software. We should encourage this kind of thing, not jump to the hand-wavy "my tax dollars!" complaint, which approaches meaninglessness in its commonality.
Consequently, to filter out the potential troublemakers, for short a period of time encourage “bring your whole self to work”, “open and honest conversations” etc. See who starts to raise issues and then put them on PIP for purely “technical” reasons.

I haven't played AoE since the very early days.

AoE is an RTS game, right? I used to play a fair bit of Starcraft 2 back before the expansions. I'm hilariously bad at it and it's too stressful for me, but I love watching pro players play it, in fact it's become one of my favourite sports to watch. AoE4 multiplayer was a bit of a clusterfuck balance wise, last I heard. I hope they get that sorted so a real pro scene could develop, and I can enjoy watching it :D

I feel like there's very little meaningful transfer between RTS and chess. Much more dependent on fine motor skill, fast thinking, and multitasking, all of which are things I'm not stellar at.
As others have said, I think the value for the Kindle is pretty damn high.

* Works in lots and lots of countries

* Great iOS and Android apps to supplement reading on Eink

* Well-priced devices, even if you pay to remove ads, that offer years and years of software support and are extremely durable/reliable

* Great hacking community and ability to use things like DeDRM to bring your purchases to other devices

* Insanely robust library that is far more consistent than other services.

* Ability to easily side-load other content via the Send to Kindle feature

* Audible integration/sync/discounts

If you prefer Kobo, that’s fine. But I’ve always seen it as the second-rate alternative owned by the second-rate Amazon (Rakuten). If I’m going to get tied into any ecosystem, I’d prefer for it to be the biggest/most active. But that’s just me.

Sure: there's a general trend towards cars projecting hostility. But again, this feels like a distraction at the best: pickup trucks, especially American ones, are exceptional in adopting the trend. The fact that we can pick out another kind of car that also does it doesn't disrupt the pattern.

It sounds like you're taking personal umbrage at the fact that people don't like these pickup trucks. I think it's worth taking a step back: I don't mind pickup trucks; I'd even go as far so say that I appreciate them for their place in the US's culture and history. But that doesn't mean I can't observe a trend, one that dovetails with latent anti-environmentalism, general disdain or disregard for pedestrians and other road traffic, &c.
Wait, I think I've seen this before. It starts with a good idea, but watch as the outcome of all this is a new bill congress passes that requires everyone to walk on the left side of the street in states that start with a vowel and includes $90 billion in funding for desk manufacturers.

Jokes aside, I'm really happy to see this. Privacy is really important and companies need to avoid collecting data they don't need as most of them end up 'hacked' at some point and every company shares their data with all the other SaaS they are built on. Also, I've needed a new desk for a while now.
Nonsense. No one is trying to establish a causal link here. Still, a concrete example of what's possible is useful and inspirational. If you do this, will you get this outcome? Probably not. Does it help me imagine a possible path? Yes, definitely.

I live in a rural area.

And I'm sure not all big truck owners tailgate. But when I am being tailgated, it is almost always by a big truck.

So it is I think many people shape their view of these vehicles. It could be a tiny percentage of the owners or large trucks, but we remember these interactions of bright lights, a cloud of coal, loud horns, and someone tailgating an inch behind us.
It sounds like your goal is to be a Product Owner/Manager. I think your best career path is to start with Business Analyst or Project Coordinator types of roles at a SaaS company that builds products and is making profit. They will have Product Managers and likely some career options as you get more experience.

The difference with Product Manager vs. Project Manager I think is really a Product Manager will have to acquire or start with in-depth knowledge about the market a product operates in. In some ways a product manager might be a superset of skills including project management. There could be organizations big enough where these are different roles though. If you have knowledge/experience and interest in some domain, start there since that is helpful.

There are project mgmt classes and certifications like PMP or Scum Master. I don't think highly of orgs that require certifications on things like this, they tend to focus a little too much on strictly following a certain framework's guidelines as rules. They could be a way to get a job and some experience under your belt. I think the PMP cert is shorter if you have a college degree and it does require doing PM work as part of the cert, has different levels, etc.

Here in the UK, I think we're at the beginning. Parliament is in recess, many people are on holiday, it's a heat wave and energy bills are low. Companies are slowly making adjustments to hiring plans etc.

Many people are going to struggle (to put it lightly) with energy bills in winter. The extra £100-500/mo will be taken away from many other businesses. Those that don't go bankrupt will raise prices significantly to cover things like energy increases.

People predict very large food prices increases during the autumn harvest too.

Rents are going up like crazy as landlords try to shield themselves from interest rate increases. People tend to only fix mortgage rates for 1-5 years. Mine is expiring next year. Many people locked in some very very low rates (0.89% - 1.5%) and will be paying multiples of that

It's going to be a very bleak winter in the UK
I had a hunch this would link me to The Incredibles. Great reference and I totally agree with the sentiment.

It's worked about 90% of the time for me. Basically everything I've sent to kindle the last two months I've sent as EPUB, and most of it worked. A lot of them were the "Compatible EPUB" version from Standard EBooks. (Even though it says they're not for Kindle, that appears to be out-of-date.)

So I just tried Man and Superman this way -- https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/george-bernard-shaw/man-an... -- and it worked just fine. I guess I don't know if the formatting is completely correct, but I haven't had any difficulty reading books loaded this way -- pretty sure they look significantly better than the Project Gutenberg equivalents.

> No one knows where to put the trash

They do, though. That is where the “trash” is. They have become so adept at it, they made a museum out of one facility[0].

Two misconceptions that benefit from being clarified:

1. There is very little waste for the amount of energy produced. If we only used nuclear, it would amount for 40 grams per person per year[1].

2. The waste is not trash, it is extremely valuable. It was valuable in the ground, and it is still valuable out of the ground; just not for the particular reactor that it came from.

Control structures as in "business logic" is essential complexity to me.

Random spaghetti code and boilerplate isn't, but Brooks' argument is that improving this, while definitely a good thing to strive for, won't result in a huge improvement in productivity, because the major roadblocks lie elsewhere.

I don't think he is arguing against minor wins, either. He just says we must focus on the major ones.
If we average that out to 150W, that'd be 1250-1300Kwh/yr. Current Bay Area electric prices means that'd cost in excess of $500/yr to run. I'd say that servers are not more efficient than people are giving them credit for...
i think america is uniquely well suited to accept immigrants bc that's how we got made. one of the biggest things i learned talking to friends i made from outside our country is we don't even realize how much more diverse and accepting we are. like we've obviously got room to grow but looking at how europe is doing after letting in some immigrants is kinda startling.

Since (as others have noted) there are already a couple services like this, what about something like:

The user sets up a profile with a list of shows they like, and the website tells which streaming service is the best one to subscribe to. Extra credit if it has an option for "I prefer shows which are in the process of being released weekly/I count shows I can binge all at once."

And -- it is a bit of a stretch, but maybe

> Bringing the beatdown is bad for everyone.

It's healthy to question media narrative as the media tend to sensationalize and embellish stories for clicks or views. It's disingenuous to try to make people feel guilty about it arguing if we question that story that child will turn bad or something, in an post-truth era. Nobody is attacking that kid, just how the media cover these stories with a template.
>I don't know why Google (or really all the tech companies in SV) aren't taking this far more seriously

The CEO of Google being a Brahmin is a pretty good reason. Either (1) he knows there's discrimination but he won't pursue because it calls into question his own legitimacy or (2) having risen through the ranks since 2004 as a Brahmin he knows there's no real problem with discrimination.

I've had a great time getting car salesmen to include floor mats for free.

One guy literally tried to tell me he couldn't do that - and I had to spell it out for him. Step one, agree to give me floor mats. Step two, you walk over to the service dept, buy floor mats, and put them in my car. Step three, congratulations you made a sale and commission - but you had to buy floor mats for my car.

I dislike boomer tactics as much as anyone (especially the bizarre trope of yelling at people to sound more right) but car salesmen are nearly as degenerate as realtors so I do take pleasure in this kind of a transaction where I'm the boot of the joke.

> I think there must be more vertical room so you can sit in a more chair like position.

I'm tall. Yes, you sit more upright. There is more headroom sometimes. Nicer trucks mostly have a moonroof installed, which chops 1.5" out of the headroom. Where the seat is located relative to the rollover support (where the seatbelt is attached on the side) is important. A lot of trucks have this too far forward, so a tall person is shouldered up against it.

For the most part, though, the seating and instrumentation are all built for the same size people as cars. Before my current truck, I drove a saturn and then a prius. Probably the width of the truck is more helpful than any height.

The big benefit for me with regard to height is that I step up into the truck, rather than have to slide down into the car. Especially on those days when my back isn't feeling so great.
Russia recycles nuclear waste into nuclear fuel.
I would imagine a $500 dish, plus installation (which can be done oneself) is much cheaper than digging trenches for fiber or copper lines, or hanging lines on utilities with obnoxious right of ways. For the cost of the dish to be cited as a blocker is mysterious, it's actually cheap compared to the prices quoted to truly rural folks to get fiber pulled to their remote locations.

It's a political move against Elon, just like the previous EV TAX incentive where the strings-attached involved having factories with union labor. Sure $500 is costly, but it's better than nothing.... that's the point.
Low/no code tools stove the wrong problem.

The problem we should be solving is not the accessibility of code itself, but the accessibility of toolchains.

The most confusing thing about learning to make software isn't writing a Hello World program or a Fibonacci series loop. It's figuring out what to do with that code once it's written.

People don't interact with terminals and shells anymore, but guess what nearly every Hello World program is written for? A shell.

We have a lot of tools that try to hide the toolchain, and even the shell itself, from the uninitiated developer.

Unfortunately, hiding the complexity of the very system you are writing code for causes more problems than it solves.

How can you learn to get input from the user if you don't even know how to use a shell? How can you start using libraries if you don't know where they are, or how they are distributed to the user? How do you configure the correct environment variables if you don't even know what shell you are running or how/where it was initialized?

We should instead be doing the inverse: do everything we can to show new programmers the system they are using. Show them all the pieces of the puzzle, and how those pieces fit together, because our new programmer's primary goal is to make new puzzle pieces.

or this bit:

The rest of the truck is supporting what the rest of the truck is communicating… we spent a lot of time making sure that when you stand in front of this thing it looks like it’s going to come get you.

I don't see any fix for this arms-race besides legislative. Bigger, more dangerous vehicles are threatening to smaller, greener vehicles, and we need to be greener.

While there are EV trucks coming, those EVs require like 3X as much battery materials as a normal-sized vehicles, and even normal-sized vehicles are too large for the dominant commuting use (single-passenger). That massive battery use is a concern since supply is constrained by real-world limitations.

Also, the larger vehicles create urban planning problems -- bigger vehicles means bigger lanes and parking spots, which hurts walkability. Again, we're back to climate change concerns.

But if you've got the money, the downsides of an oversized vehicle are wholly externalized to the other road users.

I don't really see any feasible way to solve this besides legislation. At the very least, large vehicles should be punished more heavily for highway infractions because they represent a larger risk to other road-users. Speeding in a truck is intrinsically more dangerous than speeding in a car - the larger mass, poorer bumper compatibility, and larger cross-section are a risk for others on the road.

But because of the culture war issue, no mainstream politician is going to ever have an adult conversation on the subject because it will come back to "why do you hate farmers/working men/whatever you latte-sipping urban liberal elitist".
For better or for worse, Civ games are now one unit per tile. You might think they are more boring but IMO they bring interesting new challenges to gameplay. Such as the challenge of moving a large army through an area with difficult terrain, or of not letting your city be completely surrounded.
