> If this is a real concern for you, I think the real problem isn't the technology -- it's you.

Maybe you're right. I think always-connected wearable technology can hurt autonomy.

On one extreme, a strict parent could use this to obsessively track their kid, notify them when they should be home, and use their logged history for whatever reason. Maybe a kid dreads wearing the thing because of their parents.

On another extreme, a lax parent could not give a damn about their kid and just wants the peace of mind that they could if they wanted. Maybe a kid doesn't mind wearing it.

The introduction of wearable technology here adds similar challenges that smartphones do:

Do kids behave differently if they know they can be A) accessible at anytime B) located at anytime C) history logged at all times?

Does that cause them to make different decisions than they would otherwise with no technology? That is what I mean by losing autonomy at the cost of parental/kid peace of mind.

Trust between your kids is most important, but technology is a factor here too.
I just did a Find and the words "vax" and "vaccine" do not appear on the page. Maybe you can explain how you concluded that from "a quick skim."

You would likely not be able to turn them to native binaries without a ton of work — spring uses reflection very heavily, so you would have to list every class that would get reflectively checked (including spring internals).

There is spring native that will solve it for the most part, but I’m not sure how hard it is to change an existing spring web app to that.

GraalVM has a community edition, which is free, I’m not sure about the license.

And it is likely not worth it, performance will likely be worth, but memory usage and startup speed will decrease. It can be worth it for command line apps or some tiny microservice that is mostly idle.

If you are a manager taking leave then you need someone else to manage the team while you are out. Often there is nobody on the team who is really ready to manage it. Then you'll need to get help from elsewhere; perhaps your manager can help out, or perhaps a manager elsewhere in the organization can assist.

It can be a tough situation because as a manager and a leader you have to take responsibility for what happens when you are on leave. Sometimes the replacement manager leads a mess and you are left responsible for it. Sometimes things will improve without you and company leadership won't want you to resume your old job when you return.

Personally, and as a father, I was fortunate to work at a company which was very flexible about paternity leave. I really preferred taking a couple weeks off at the start, and then returning to work but just working 4 days a week for a while (and not very long hours). It was approximately the same amount of leave but just structured differently. I really advocate this (for men taking paternity leave, whose wife is going to take full time leave) if you can swing it.

There are two reasons. One is that it works out better at home. Honestly as a father with a young baby and a wife who is taking leave, your wife and child do not need you in the house 24/7. A day a week to catch up on errands is great. Leaving work in time to make dinner is great. More than that, you just run out of useful stuff to do. And a six month old baby is really just about as much work as a three month old baby! Having five Fridays off to run errands with a six month old baby is more useful than using those same days of leave to take a whole week off with a three month old baby.

The second reason is that it works out better at work. If your manager is only working four days a week for a while and not working late, it's basically fine, as long as you aren't at some super intense startup. It isn't disruptive to your team, you're still available to help people, you're still in touch with what's happening at work.

> I have recently talked with customers and users who have faced servers that refused them access when they connected to sites using curl, but allowed them access to the site when they instead use one of the popular browsers – or if curl was tweaked to look like one of those browsers. It might be a trend in the making. There might be more sites out there now that reject clients that produce the wrong fingerprint then there used to be.

As someone working in a bank, yeah we do use this. The draconian application is for our iOS and Android apps - if they don't match Apple's or our fingerprints (respectively, yes you could bake a different cryptographic library in Android) the connection is summarily terminated. For the web app, it is used as a fingerprinting component, but is less draconian in such that it merely checks if the TLS ciphers and the user agent (and some JS magic) is sensible (and the approach is to block known bots outside of robots.txt and the robot-readable login page - to be blunt it includes wget and curl), but I knew that one of our competitors is so much more draconian that it blocks Firefox due to its consistent TLS ciphers (we don't because Firefox is way more accessibility-friendly than Chrome).

> Another popular way to work around this kind of blocking is to simply program a browser to do the job. Either a headless browser or with tools like Selenium. Since these methods make the TLS handshake using a browser “engine”, they are unlikely to get blocked by these filters.

And yes, we already know about pupeteering (that's why we are now focusing to provide business clients with our own FIDO stick while clients are encourage to activate 2FA, preferably FIDO but at the insistent of the management still includes TOTP and SMS (!) verification).
IIRC you don‘t have to do 16 trips in four months. If do fewer trips, you have to pay 10€ once (or 20€ for the mid range trips). That is still a considerable discount.
I do not believe 4chan is on the play store. Truth social is still reachable on your browser...
The Rav4 has an aggressive driving indicator too I believe. One day my wife was out and we had an argument over the phone (my fault, of course...) She drove back in an emotional state of mind snd the car suggested her to pull over.

I don't see why driver monitoring data needs to go to the cloud. If the car senses swerving and large fluctuation in acceleration then the driver should take a rest.
The sad thing is Instagram's explore tab used to give me excellent personalized content (gardening and architecture) but when they added reels it all went away. At first it was dancing teenagers and now it's random celebrities and weird sped up videos of people cleaning. It doesn't matter how many times I mark it as "not interesting", it just keeps pushing it.
It seems en vogue for every organization to have a position on every topic du jour but the EFF has done well to avoid, at the very least, taking action outside of their scope. I don't keep an eye on any social media of theirs or anything so I can't speak to what they are out there _saying_ but I don't tend to read about them spending money on scope creep.
> needing to do 2 jobs

It seems like either they really assigned all of the leave-taker's job to you, and that seems excessive, or this person was doing a TON of stuff. Were there no other people who could take over parts of the leave-taker's work?
That might or might not be the true cause for the high price of nuclear. But in any case the chances of us getting rid of the regulations in the next five years are essentially zero. So any hopes to have abundant, cheap nuclear power this decade, or even the next, are pipedreams.
Yeah, if there is a program it has to be appealing and run well to work.

Ours has worked well but going too long is just going to turn folks off big time. It would me for sure.

And some info for the techies: We operate a stack with a backend built in a strict micro-services pattern with polyglot services written in Python and TypeScript. Technologies are chosen to fit the purpose (e.g. time series, relational, no-sql databases). All deployments rely on Helm and run on platform-agnostic Kubernetes clusters.
Key idea is the "data maturity" of the topic under discussion.

Where there is data, you should use it and be smart about it.

For a lot of big decisions, especially in companies doing something new, there is no good data at first. You have to reason about it based on experience and analogy.

Then, once you commit to a path, you can start gathering data to see if your hypothesis was correct. The further you go, the more you can rely on data, assuming you know how to think about it.

Discussions about being data-driven that don't take into account the "data maturity" of the situation are nonsensical.

Being "data driven" when you're considering something radically new is either delusional or a cop out.

Ignoring data when it could correct your biases is either lazy or wrong or both.

And finally, lots of people who claim to be "data driven" are not smart about data. To paraphrase Wilde, "data is rarely pure and never simple." It doesn't just reveal truths you can treat as dogma. It's ambiguous and takes a lot of work to interpret. A lot of "data driven" teams aren't doing that work.
That is very interesting. Do you know what the system used to determine your alertness?
You seem to be using the term "antivaxxer" pretty broadly. I read their COVID section and didn't see any claims that the vaccines don't work, or that you shouldn't take one. Rather, they seem to be against vaccine mandates and government-coerced social media censorship. Those are not fringe positions.

You repeatedly pass off very peculiar opinions as "obvious facts" with some quasi anecdata from Bangladesh. I understand the advantage of talking about Bangladesh as there are very few Bangladeshis here to contradict you - but you can use this trick only so many times. However, I will credit you with using the words "I suspect" here.

You are welcome to pretend being progressive is believing in "woo stuff" like civil rights, womens suffrage, gay marriage, race blind immigration etc. The fact of the matter is that - you would not be in this country without the "woo stuff" you are ridiculing.

The conservative culture you have adopted doesn't welcome race blind immigration.

Referring to an earlier discussion when you verbally attacked a legal immigrant for documenting his citizenship process

>>> As an ethnic Bangladeshi my kids and I have a right of return. I can obtain Bangladeshi citizenship any time I want.

>> Why are you treating America as some kind of science experiment?

> I try not to! My family was invited here by Americans on certain terms, and nobody has ever really complained. But I think they have every right to complain if they wanted.

Just to be clear- your family was not invited here by a majority of Americans. Just a corporation or university on restrictive terms and got approved by the US government, thanks to MLKs efforts.

A majority of Americans would not welcome you here. Half the country- liberals would not welcome you here, because you would block all progressive laws except Loving vs Virginia, and perhaps race blind immigration, though you take strongly offence when legal immigrants open their mouth, as in the referenced thread. So perhaps, you would also roll back the various 1960s civil rights acts. Half of the conservatives would not want you here because of your skin color, or as you call it - "culture".
I've seen plenty of cases of it being undesirable for 0 to be false, in languages which aren't C.

In C, and any other language where the memory model is based on bits and bytes, it's well defined, there's no meaningful way for a value to be 'falsey', so I'd agree that a distinct boolean type doesn't do a lot.

I could make a case that it lets the compiler choose the width of a boolean, but that's not necessarily good.
So you're saying that the USA's adversarial legal system makes bans and blocks the easiest/most probable way of dealing, but the consequences of that are far reaching, and yet to be noticed.

The thing is, the term sounds like "just waiting to be fired" but every thought piece I've seen about it is "employees are just meeting expectations and that's bad." The first crop of articles, etc. about this were all of the "meeting expectations" variety. But folks who only glanced at headlines interpreted it the other way.

I would love it if people push back on this term and refuse to accept it. There's plenty of terms already in circulation that describe sandbagging or whatever. This is just another anti-worker trend that tries to blame workers for a rational decision to draw reasonable boundaries and refuse to do more work for the same money.
I believe this is one of the largest challenges when trying to make effective changes in the system to address climate change: those whose actions can create the largest changes are not the ones who have to bear the burden first or directly. I really don't know how to appeal to a crowd denying all the evidence, so devoid in empathy for people across the world, while, as an immigrant, I can see my neighboring countries literally drowning.

Now you’re just desperately pulling things out of the air.

1. The line between "protest" and "riot" is fuzzy and arbitrary at best, and that's without considering that police violence against a protest will almost universally turn it into a riot because humans are humans.

2. Are you seriously trying to say that racial issues have nothing to do with excessive police surveillance?
That's just manager talk for "we weren't needed here". For example, you say "important role" but who called it important? Were the engineers demanding someone do this job, or was it presumed to be an important job when someone was building out the team?

If someone came into a highly-demanded (by the team itself) role and turned the responsibilities around into work the team can take care of on its own, that's valuable work for sure. But if this was just a role created by an executive as a result of, "We've always needed one of these", then maybe not so much.
I’m not clear on what he was supposed to do in response to this. Is it a situation where if he were to sit down and relax he could resolve the arrhythmia? Or is this a notification mechanisms that he can then alert his doctors?

I don't work at Amazon, but I have a few insights here through insider backchannels. It basically all comes down to numbers and the amount of money spent on opposing the union versus how much money they will save on suppressing wages if the union fails. In other words, it's pretty good ROI to invest in union busting at all costs because the cost of a few lawyers and consultants is much lower than paying living wages.

It's unlikely that Amazon employees will be reprimanded or whatever, but they probably will use a different law firm next time around.

You wouldn't be able to get a high-speed mesh network, sure, but LoRa[1] (or something LoRa-like - it's proprietary) provides in the range of kilobits per second across tens of miles. RONJA[1] trades throughput for range, with 10 megabit throughput over 0.8 miles).

Sure, you won't be able to even really download images through LoRa, but it'll do for textual communications in case of an emergency e.g. natural disaster.

A smart meshnet that has billing/transactions built in would allow nodes to charge based on bandwidth and data used (so a LoRa node could charge you more than a node that uses fiber, you can use the fiber node while things are normal, and then when things go sideways you can pay more to get an emergency message to your relatives through LoRa).

SBSMS – Subband Sinusoidal Modeling Synthesis
Every one should be able to take leave and not kill your project at any time. If that's not where you are now the project is at risk. Someone might change jobs just as much as mat/pat leave. You should make sure that no one person knows how do perform any task that is needed.

Even/especially soft skills like being "leader for a day". Or being "last word on xxx" for a day. Or driving some change.

If you do that without fail the team is able to cover anyone else. Any team of 7 people has one 7th the extra workload when someone is absent, but nothing should stop working. When you are 7 again, if its the person with knowledge back, you are up to speed immediately; if it's someone new, it takes time to get back to where you were.

If you work like: this when it's your turn to be off, noone will miss you, or curse your absence, and they will be very pleased when you are back.

In short "spread the work across the team" and "temporary promotions" as everyday practices, before and after expected leave.

This approach pays off immediately, shorter absences such as plane delays, crisis at school or someone just being late to a meeting, are easier to deal with too.
Why would a heat pump run more efficiently when maintaining a temperature differential? From my rudimentary physics knowledge, a heat pump works best when the temperature difference between hot and cool side is lowest. So the first Joule pumped out of a warm house is the cheapest.

I've never understood the view that "this disability is part of me and we shouldn't try to cure it". I struggle with anxiety and depression, and the same argument could be made there: that my mental illnesses are "part of who I am", an integral "part of my personality", and curing them would "change me". But I'd cure them in half a heartbeat if I could. If something is making life harder or sadder or in any way more negative, why the hell would you think that's the way it has to / should be? "That's who I am, don't treat it" is saying "I'm meant to struggle more than everyone else just because I was born this way, and no one should help me".

Anyway, maybe I'm missing something important and being insensitive, in which case I apologize. But I still think "I don't want to be treated/cured" should not be conflated with "no one should look for treatments or cures", as some people do want it.

Rant aside, this is pretty cool research. I'm sure Down's syndrome affects many different protein and hormone productions, since it's an entire extra chromosome; if we can identify and target each disrupted gene product, maybe one day we'll have a single drug cocktail that can act as a fully effective treatment.
