I know this is late but I was going back through my comments and found yours. Yeah , i have problems with the podcast on those terms too. I get their point that fat-shaming is harmful and I totally agree however, if someone is overweight then it's very much a good idea to try and reduce weight and not just consider it normal and healthy like the podcast sometimes implies. Granted, overweight people are a favorite prey for every charlatan out there and i feel like the podcast does an acceptable (but not perfect) job of calling them out.

oh and we (my wife and I) found the Maintenance Phase podcast by following Michael Hobbes from You're Wrong About which is another entertaining podcast. I don't always agree with his politics but if I ever met him i'd shake his hand, he does a really good job.
Aaah, so this might only be a paid shill with a bait for the pro-privatization of healthcare looking to push for a for-profit health system.
Yep I just let Calibre do it. It's generally smarter at this stuff than I probably am.
Interesting! I will try out that tip. Thank you!
I have a diagnosis too, and I've never heard about any of this, nor do I think it has much if any bearing upon the meaning of the word. People have a general understanding of it, even if specific conditions vary, which is why the word is useful to me when talking about my psyche. I think it's quite a stretch to go from this to calling someone a Nazi.

Thanks for explaining, though.
You don't have to blindly trust him, but so far he's provided a bunch of data to support his position and you've provided nothing.

Show me the data.
The previous head of security to Zatko talked about fixing these problems. I remember distinctly after the FTC crackdown there were all hands where the discussion came up. I guess these problems were never fixed.
That could be true of some queueing systems, but its certainly not true of all queuing systems. It is certainly not true of this system because you cannot stay in the queue forever. Over the long term this will converge on a steady state determined by rate of arrival and rate of departure, treated or otherwise, and nothing else.

That number is pretty clearly a number pulled out of someone's ass, rather than anything 'scientific'. It's a nice round number that sounded good to someone, but is pretty completely disconnected from reality.

I don't organize at the file level. I just dump all pdf files into a folder. That folder syncs with home-server and cloud-storage.

I organize at the app level. I have different apps on all my devices for different kinds of documents.

One for work/research, one for novels/non-fiction/poetry. I rely on the recently opened section for continued reading. All of the apps have big book-shelf features, so the title doesn't matter. When transfering, I sometimes email the document to myself with the title in the subject.

I use Okular, native doc viewer in Pop OS, Ebookdroid and Ebookdroid Pro.
> No, it's about making the phones themselves more repairable so that it makes financial sense to have them repaired versus buying new ones all the time.

I'm strongly biased in favor of fixing stuff versus replacing stuff--I don't like our consumerist, disposability culture. But "making phones repairable" has virtually nothing to do with this, because "my phone broke" is not a major driver behind replacing phones. Rather, people replace phones because new models offer compelling features, because new software runs slowly on their older phone, or because their old phone is no longer supported by the software they want/need.

Making phones repairable isn't going to fix this problem.

I would think a key development towards getting people back into the office is to recreate offices. Having a bullpen where everybody is on noise-cancelling headphones and wearing blinders isn't the "free and open collaboration" they prattle on about. And once you fire up a communication tool in said office to talk to somebody else your argument is undercut.

Yeah, physical goods require contact and that'll be an office or a factory. Secure work requires a secure facility. But otherwise? Especially if things are outsourced or offshored. I also think companies are going to get into lower cost of labour and that workers will get into (or are already into) lower cost of living. And the recruiting position is far wider when relocation isn't required.
I have multiple projects open (5-ish), each are quite big. The biggest one is PHP with tons of vendor dependencies and also a pretty big Typescript app within it with a big node_modules.
> It's not unusual to hear a UK expat in Australia say they left the place because they could not stand the depressing weather.

I did too, I lived in Ireland for a while but I couldn't stand the depressing weather and short days in winter. It didn't help that I lived on the west coast which is even worse than the east. Many weeks of non-stop grey and rain.

I live in Spain now and it really helped my mood. Wages are lower here but quality of life is so much better. Not just in terms of weather but socially too, because people live outdoors more.

I lived 2 years in Australia as well which has a similar climate but it was too far from family.

> This is rampant. How is this a story?

Well, it's on the front page of CNN right now for starters, so that means it's probably significant to a lot of people...

If you have a business, you most likely need to promote it on Twitter, or to at least reserve an account there so that someone else won't impersonate you. You also need to do that on almost all other major social platforms.

If you have a business or personal account on Twitter, your direct messages, the data the system generates about your preferences and interests, your geo-coordinates, and everything you post, including control of how your account works can apparently be accessed by too many people within the company.

It's a pretty big deal for anyone that uses the platform citing all that... Not something that should just be "left to it's own devices" because everyone else is doing the same. All cases of data abuse/misuse should be addressed, but addressing one this big would also be a pretty big deal.
The main purpose of jargon is to concisely communicate complex concepts using convenient labels - see [0]. If your workplace is using jargon merely to signal belonging to the group, then that's just sad.

then pay $100 an hour and let the market work properly without being distorted by abusive labor practices. Food prices wouldn't even increase, Big Ag would just lose some of their profit margin

Unlike XUL, extensions are just passengers, with no power to override core browser engine features. I don't think that web extensions have reached a similar level of usefulness today. And even if they did, why should we have waited so many years to gain that functionality back?

Google's decision to have crippled extensions was made in a corporate board room to maximize Google's leverage at the expense of utility for users. So it is tragic and baffling to see Mozilla pantomiming what Google did, since throwing away a far more mature and powerful extension framework benefits nobody but Google.

Google could troll Mozilla by just announcing that they are deprecating local bookmarks (and they may very well do that), and watch as Firefox obsequiously removes bookmarks from Firefox, "to stay modern", and then Google could pull the rug out from under then by not deprecating it.
Not at all. The data presented here is very informative and generally hits on a very important problem. I just disagree with the short term takeaways.
Yeah, I didn't realize thermalchemical water splitting was a thing.
> ARM and RISC processors in general are now proven to be better than x86.

Certain ARM implementations (M1, M2) have proven better than certain implementations of x86 (basically all of them). The ARM implementations in question are not available for general purchase. It's only worth the effort to switch if a competitive processor becomes available. It doesn't look like the MS teamup with qualcomm that resulted in the sq1/sq2 procs are that.

In the server space, that's different given that graviton/cavium have proven competitive.
Looking at you, Mozilla.

>You implied that Chinese tech workers work harder than their Silicon Valley equivalents. And that is true, because 996 culture is widespread there.

It's true without 996 culture.

>And when they call for remote work as well, will you call them "spoiled" too?

When they don't call for remote work, will you call them hardworking?

>Calling acceptance of remote work "spoiled" is being ignorant of history.

It's not. How much history do you think there is? I wasn't born in 2020.

>Tesla was planning layoffs, and encouraging employees to quit because of the sideshow of remote vs. onsite was a convenient way to avoid paying termination benefits. Congrats on falling for the gambit.

Maybe part of the mandate was to ask some people to leave. But I believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Remote work is not more productive for a company. Maybe it's about the same for ticket crunching software engineers who don't care about anything else that is happening in the company.
> Ammonia is a very dangerous chemical. From a thermodynamic and environmental perspective it's one of the best refrigerants for many applications but we can't use it in residential buildings because you'll die if you breath it in.

FWIW I’ve only seen propane/ammonia cycle fridges inside residences so I don’t understand what you mean by “can’t use it in residential buildings”
Now erosion is not a concern anymore, hardly anyone does more than disc their fields once a decade.

That's a bit of a stretch. Really depends on location and crop type. At least around this local village, lots of hills, it is still an issue. As in: every rainfall which is like a tad rougher than average results in several streets being flooded with mud. Totalling several metric tonnes (official measurements, weird these numbers are weight, not volume) of soil disappearing from only a couple of km^2 of farmland every single year. This isn't the type of issue Roundup or anything like that is going to solve, it really need thorough systematic change.
Not exactly. The CNN article doesn't say that, and The Verge's piece[1] on this puts it together pretty clearly.

>Zatko was fired by Twitter in January and claims that this was retaliation for his refusal to stay quiet about the company’s vulnerabilities. Last month, he filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that accuses Twitter of deceiving shareholders and violating an agreement it made with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to uphold certain security standards. His complaints, totaling more than 200 pages, were obtained by CNN and The Washington Post and published in redacted form this morning.

So, breaking it down more concisely:

1.) Fired in January

2.) Musk tries to buy Twitter in early April

3.) Complaint filed with SEC in July by Mudge ("way [after] EM entered the picture")

4.) WaPo published redacted, 200-page report today

Edit: This is not an endorsement of mud-slinging, just an attempt to make sure everyone knows what actually happened and when, at least as best we can discern at this point.
I actually watched someone give a presentation at spotify on exactly this when I worked there. This was probably about 5 years or so ago. I have no idea what happened to that project. Probably the biggest issue would be getting people to give you location permissions but they also talked about working around that. It's a big org though they kill off ideas all the time.
Like... barely anybody my age is having children and the ones who do have
this look on them when I have a real conversation with them where they are
vulnerable that they love their kids more than anything but that having kids
is destroying what little quality of life they could scrape by with before.
Having kids has always been hard I imagine but the look on people's faces...
it says a lot about how cruel society is that it grinds people down so much
that having kids hurts them like that (even when they have good jobs and
stable relationships and "should" be able to handle it).

See this is part of my disconnect right here. I have 5 kids. For much of their childhood I was working day labor at minimum wage. I scraped by and sometimes had to live with relatives because I couldn't afford to put a roof over their heads. It was definitely hard and stressful but I had the necessary mental tools to avoid going postal or killing myself. I guess part of what I lament is that we have somehow reduced the number of people with those mental tools.

I'm not saying it's great that there are people who have to go through the same things I went through. Nor am I saying that I'm amazing for having survived and made a solid career for myself. But I am saying that given the realities we have it's a really sad that more people aren't as equipped as I was and that seems like something worth fixing as well as all the other stuff.

Nassim Taleb is a bit of a wack.

HTTP/3 has just been finalized as a standard this year, so I'd guess we'll start to see it be adopted maybe in 2028 or so

It will be easy to add support on the back end (at least for any software that already supports HTTP/2). So adoption will be limited by the front end. Adoption may come sooner, but only if telcos and phone makers both agree that it will help them. (Mobile currently represents ~75% of web usage, and still growing.)
I even got off gmail because of these horror stories. If they banned my gmail account it would be a major pain and I'd have no recourse.

Gray everything. That's what's popular. Light gray walls, medium gray trim, dark gray floor.

I didn't mean that he was a "hippy hacker." Maybe you misinterpreted that, from my story (BTW: Ken Kesey was no slouch, either). My apologies for being unclear.

But he has definite history of being quite willing to speak truth to power. Not having had any personal interactions with him, I can only go on the [many] stories I've heard.
the 12+ hour wait times, the hospital occupancy, the aging population and slashed social spending are all hard data. if you want just ignore everything about the excess mortality, and you'll still get the same picture, it's not gonna look nice anyway you dice it.

healthcare (and education) are both incredibly big outliers in the last decades of technological progress (incredible diminishing returns, just look at US spending, brutal Baumol effect, since almost everything is still manual labor .. every MRI/CT requires more professional labor, every new drug requires more tests and consultations, and so on).

no wonder it's looking worse and worse when compared to total GDP of aging populations.
The article mentions 300MW, which is a large connection to be sure but not unheard of. At that size it would be a scheduled load, like the pumps at a pumped hydro station or the potlines at an aluminium smelter.

Additionally, Twitter collected PII and then did a bad job protecting it. We don't see a phone-numbers-leaked story like this out of Google, which has had 2FA with phone number deployed for years.

Twitter has some 200+ million daily active users and should act like it.
Same happened to us the last Thursday, but in our case they suspended our GCP account without a prior notification. Just learned about this from our external monitoring.

Turns out they wanted to check my IDs, and it's after I had been their customer for 14 years. And it took them 5 days to verify that ID. An hour ago they activated it back.

I've been running a few projects on GCP, with active customers, which I lost now. Those 5 days of outrage is basically a catastrophe for us.

And no apology was given by Google. There was barely any communication from their side.

Never use GCP for production.
> and provides a translation tool like Rosetta

They already have that.
Don't be. I'm sure most people here feel the same.
What a gross oversight from their part. Not only they build a product that, as pointed by the post, sends a excessive amount of data, but also allows anyone to do the same.

That nails it for me. I have no reason whatsoever to use vscode.
Ha, my life exactly. Ever since my kids used my Spotify account to listen to music my discover weekly list has unbearable amounts of paw patrol, baby shark and others mixed in. Now to be fair it still puts in music that fits my taste as well (and often my kids also like that music too), and considering that this is one profile I don't know what it could do better.

This is a great post. Another reason why Corpspeak naturally arises is systemic: corporations bring together people from many different contexts. It is really important for everyone to be on the same page (another Corpspeak-ism!) when communicating and coordinating on work.

Well bashing doesn't appear to be changing anything so can we try something else perhaps?
I keep the original names. Problem with metadata is that they can be stripped or you can have the same content with different metadata in it. If you download paper from publisher site or a copy provided by author, they don't need to be the same. When I was working on my PhD thesis I've tried using tools like Zotero for keeping bibliographical references, and pulling the metadata when I needed citations. I wasn't to satisfied with results. Maybe I was using it in the wrong way.
Yes and no, I don't think it's quite so simple.

A private company can do whatever they want and ban whoever from their platform.

But can a private company that's used by 99% of the population do the same? I think there's an unexplored grey area there. If HN bans me that's not necessarily censorship, but if Twitter does so, there's an argument it could be. Censorship is not a function of who does it, it's function of scale. The bigger the audience, the more important it is that free speech is upheld.

Our free speech laws have to be updated for the information and Internet era, and the era of mega corporations monopolising a huge chunk of the public space. Of course none of this would happen if open and decentralised standards were used, but that's a discussion for another time.
