There are a significant number of references to a BCG report from June 2022. The article doesn’t link to that report directly. I don’t doubt that the report exists… but linking to it wouldn’t hurt. It might be this one:

it doesn't forget that. it implies that you shouldn't optimize for the least number of victims. it's cool to disagree with that and think about why or why not, but please actually engage with the idea rather than just assuming they didn't think it through at all.
this would apply to any self hosted stuff you rely on, but yeah, self hosting is not for everyone
Twitter's algorithm isn't front and center as long as you're set to "latest tweets". It's reduced to the sidebar where it guesses (badly) what trends I'll be interested in. On mobile, I don't even see the sidebar or trends unless I deliberately seek them out.

It's one thing I like about Twitter. All I see are the people I followed and the people they retweet. If one of them gets annoying, unfollow or mute. And it's all in chronological order. Unless I'm missing something, nothing is getting filtered or pushed by some annoying algorithm.

For your situation, you might want to create a list of words for Twitter to block for you. That might help you avoid certain topics.

I don't see passwords anywhere in the sample and Troy hasn't found any either so I doubt unless they can be pointed out
The data could be very likely legit. But they are not TikTok's user database. It is more like TikTok's ad/activity log for some customers. The passwords are for the logins from those customers if any.

This also explains why WeChat data is in the same database. And if you are paying attention, the WeChat tables are more complex which makes sense because WeChat has a much longer history in business.
> Your pay is based on the cost to hire replacement

What is being described here is supply/demand economics. If you think you’re being underpaid, quit, find something else that pays you more. The reason why you won’t quit is the reason why the company doesn’t pay you more. You don’t have other options, and if you quit, they know there will be 10 other people ready to take you place for those wages.

Part of the reason why wages in places like the Bay Area are high is because companies are competing with each other for talent and if you don’t pay people, they are ready to quit and replacements aren’t easy at lower wages.
Something like the Cliffs of Dover maybe? That's from sea level fall isn't it (haven't looked into it specifically but I know it made of products of marine organisms, but maybe it was pushed up tectonically originally).

Here they talk about a lose landmass caused by accumulated glacial remains of the last ice age. So it would have likely mostly accumulated originally during a period sea rise.
I also got green square when running with half precision on gtx 1650. Try 384x384 with full precision instead, or use the intel cpu fork.
Exactly, and the thread is about the other side of the coin.
The only part of this that you have some control over is where you work. It sucks because I understand how you feel and what you are going through, but you will have to find a different job at a different company that pays more. That is the only thing you can change.

Your company has clearly communicated that they don't care about how you feel about this.

I asked a friend who manages a call center now and has managed call centers for years, previously at a big US bank.

He said that sometimes they have multiple systems or outsourced call centers that don't integrate, and since the inconvenience falls on the customer no one at the bank considers fixing it a priority.

He then mentioned that customer service operators frequently get people on the line who don't have their account number or whatever they need ready, so having the phone tree collect that (even if it's just an input that gets ignored) heads off the operators wasting time on the call while the customer digs around for their account number or receipt number or whatever it is they need.

Having worked at a company that had an outsourced call center myself I know people often call the wrong company (calling their bank about their credit report, calling a store about insufficient balance on their credit card). And I know that even asking customers to enter their ZIP code or phone prefix (to route the call to a regional center) will flummox a significant number of callers. Because call center operators generally work with quotas and maximum time per call monitored, reducing the time the operators spend waiting for grandma to find her account number becomes an important goal, even at the expense of irritating some customers.
When I was newer I tried it as a hard rule and it sucked. So much wasted time and silly tests that didn’t test anything interesting.

Now I have a sixth sense for what I should write tests for and when I should write them before vs after the implementation.

Rules are misleading and teach the wrong thing. Instead, here’s one loose question I ask myself: “does the interface inform the implementation or the other way around?”

When the interface is super important and known, I can write a test first. When the implementation will reveal what the interface’s shape might be like, the test might come after.
Sounds like every startup pitch.

> "... small non-spam senders would congregate"
Congratulations, you've invented the email service provider. Most small non-spam senders don't want to spend the time figuring out IP reputation, DKIM, or SPF already, so they pay someone to do it for them. What makes netblock reputation different?

Reputation isn't public because then spammers game it and you get worse filtering outcomes. ISPs learned this the hard way.

As clarified by handspun Terry was born, raised, educated here in Australia - largely homeschooled he had support from the Australian public school and university system which did at the time a pretty decent job of lifting young talent, he was part of the same undergrad math club group that had Paul Erdos visiting that spawned a few crypto punks, cosmologists, math professors, etc.

There is a lot between "passable" and "perfect" American english. I have far from "perfect" English, but in all my jobs as software developer for american companies (3 so far), I got great feedback for my communication skills. Mostly, being remote, is written communication, but still.

So, I guess you would be paying me what you pay US employees as well :)
This is because both companies sell to the enterprise, not to the end users.

This is how Microsoft drove their phone business off the cliff: they built a product that their customers (corporate IT) loved but the users detested. When the iphone showed up Microsoft famously knew it was dumb because it addressed nothing that their customers cared about. But the workforce demanded change.

> Is it true it could only use quads not triangles for polygons?

Yep, but obviously a quad could become a triangle with two shared vertices. I never worked on the machine myself, and my memory is definitely fuzzy on this, but I seem to remember one of the things stressing out my colleagues was the poor transfer rate of getting textures into the video hardware, and the space being quite limited. So, all textures ended up being down-res'd by 50%, which just made everything look terrible.

I'm sure there were other issues, that's just the one I can vaguely remember.
Nice. I've heard a little about chitosan and am aware of keratin but not as a biomaterial. The case the article makes is that functional biomaterials with superior properties have not been made at any scale but that it is on the way.
> and whatever estimate we gave he would just shave a couple hours off, and then chastise us for being too slow when we didn't make his own artificial deadlines

Been on the same end of this one. Business department saw a proof of concept demo and then pulled a deadline completely out their arse so they could try and impress the owner.

> he played the "English isn't my first language" victim card like we were the unreasonable ones, even though he had been living in the US for 20+ years

And again this one. What is it with:

a) the gaslighting these guys do to try and guilt trip you? It’s so bloody creepy.

b) how they manage to get into these positions of power despite the complete lack of ownership and responsibility they take. It’s the literal antithesis of leadership. Do not get me wrong, I think we’ve all been guilty now and again of getting angry and blaming someone else for something in the heat of the moment, especially if we’re feeling vulnerable about something. But if I do, you can guarantee that after I’ve calmed down or a day has passed and I’ve had time to reflect you’ll get an apology from me, I’ll take ownership and I’ll make amends to fix it.

These kinds of guys NEVER admit to being wrong so they’re very easy to spot. Prime example: Boris Johnson. Literally in charge of making the covid rules, holds a bunch of illegal parties and then tríes to claim that “none of my advisors told me it was against the rules otherwise I obviously wouldn’t have done it”. You’re literally the one who just decided on the rules pal! You’ve been repeating them every night at press conferences for the last year. It’s just so weak. Who sees this kind of behaviour and sees it as the sign of a leader, as someone they’d follow to the ends of the earth? It really does baffle me.
On the other hand, the only reason the company hired someone overseas was to save money. They would not have even considered these candidates if they weren't hugely cheaper. Instead, the company would have hired from the local labor market instead.

What the submitter should be asking themselves, is whether they can pull a higher wage working from their current location with any other company. If they can do that, they should. If they can't, and it's likely that they cannot because most companies are operating similarly, then they're getting a fair market rate for their situation. That's the free market.

The facts don’t support these assertions. The higher oil consumption is temporary until delayed utility scale solar and geothermal projects come online [1] (supply chain issues). A recent battery project with Tesla Megapacks [2] replaced AES’ coal plant for grid services.

The price of oil pushes renewables adoption velocity in this situation, as clean energy options are cheaper than burning oil for electricity. Before this closure, Oahu had roughly equal coal vs solar generation capacity (~200MW). It’s obviously cheaper to replace that coal generation with batteries that can charge from renewables.

> “It is really unfortunate that we are having to rely on oil for a short period of time to transition from coal to the solar and battery projects,” Glenn said. “[But] it underscores the whole reason we need to make this change. Because oil is incredibly volatile. And we have to pay for it in a way that you don’t have to with solar battery.”

> He said the state is expected to close some of its oil power plants in the coming years, including part of the Waiau power plant on Oahu.

> Sandra Larsen, market business leader for AES in Hawaii, said the company supports the shuttering of its coal power plant and is now working on six renewable energy projects across the state’s four island counties. One of its projects, Kuihelani, is expected to generate power for about 27,000 homes on Maui.

> “The coal plant was needed to help stabilize Oahu’s electricity rates and the economy … 30 years later, it’s time to move on,” she said.

For a ne whole adding both wouldn’t increase the cost to the buyer - they are already willing to pay X for the house. It would increase the cost to the builder, who would then have less money to pay the land owner for the land, who had received a massive planning gain when the 50k field was given to build 100 houses and increased in value to 3m.

I dont see the problem, PV and heat pumps should be mandated.
Pretty easy actually. Just install miniconda from here [1]. It'll add some codes into your bashrc / zshrc so you'll need to reopen your terminal after installation.

I do a lot of rest api's, and generally, I just manage to test endpoints and data/json structures adhere to design specs or DTO's or typescript types, etc. I'm usually dealing w/ laravel but there's packages to translate backend DTOs to typescript types, for frontend devs to mess w/.

As long as all the restful resources work properly and get an expected outcome, there's a good chance everything else should work fine too.

Yup I totally agree. It would be quite possible to do it in-engine for some mod-able games. For example, I just found this Cinematic Camera mod for Morrowind (one of my favourite games): https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46909/

Sounds like with some configuration it might do just as you describe. Not a general solution though, of course.
Please don't see this as a lack of empathy, but I think the only solution under your control is to apply to other positions and leave when you get a better one.

And if you apply to many and can't find a better one, then try to see it as 'they pay me better than anyone else' rather than they pay me less than others in the company.

I believe (but have no evidence) that smart companies will minimize the location differences to get better talent and will get a competitive advantage, but you may need to search ...
> If you have a macbook, just buy the apple adapter and you know it will work.

This was very much NOT true for the x86 Macbooks. There is a gigantic thread on the Apple forums about it. I have 6 different docks of both TB3 and TB4 generations and none of them work on my x86 Macbook pro while they all work with my Windows and Linux machines. This was so bad that it pushed me to Linux full-time.

Has this gotten better on the M1/M2's?

Although, I'm not really looking to move back at this point. Going Linux full-time has been quite refreshing for me. I no longer have to buy apps to dork with everything that Apple refused to put useful defaults on.
I don't know anything about what ad databases look like, but so far I haven't seen any evidence that the data is legit. Fake breaches happen every now and then so I wouldn't be surprised if this is one.

This is meant to run in a datacenter, not a car, right? There’s some value to custom ASICS if you can get it - Google seems happy with TPUs and I assume those aren’t on the latest Nvidia-competitive process.

So fucking what? Deal with it.

From a judge's (scathing) denial of Visa and Mindgeek's motion to dismiss:

>Why would MindGeek allow Plaintiff’s first video to be posted despite its title clearly indicating Plaintiff was well below 18 years old? Why would MindGeek stall before removing the video, which Plaintiff alleges had advertisements running alongside it? Why would MindGeek take the video and upload it to its other porn websites? Why, after being alerted by Plaintiff that the video was child porn, would it allow the video to be reuploaded, whereafter advertisements were again featured alongside the reuploaded videos? And why did Plaintiff have to fight for years to have her videos removed from MindGeek’s sites?

https://pershingsquarefoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022...

Regarding dropbox, if dropbox publicly hosts a video titled childpornography.mp4 that contains child pornography, indexes it so people searching for it can find it, automatically tags and categorizes it for easy discovery, stalls for weeks when asked to remove it, runs ads alongside it in the meantime, distributes it to a myriad of other file hosting services, allows any file matching the hash of that file to be uploaded again, and then take years to finally purge it from their systems, they should 100% be held liable for distributing child pornography.

And instagram should ban them.

As an aside, WTF is wrong with people? Just get a paid membership to Dorcel and jerk off to sexy flight attendants seducing pilots and passengers and frustrated 40 year old housewives cheating with their gardeners like a normal fucking human being. If you can't afford that you should probably be doing something other than viewing pornography.
Is there a specific tool you use to figure out your design graph, or is it more a 'mind' thing? I know there's some vscode plugins to kinda visualize how code fits together, etc.

> Take ideas like version control - a way to do change management. Test driven development. Continuous integration. These have existed in a nascent way in other fields, but software engineering has really taken the ideas to the next level.

TBF version control started (SCCS, RCS etc) by modeling how version control was done in mechanical engineering and architecture. Just look at the manual version control in old blueprints. Nowadays CAD systems like solidworks have a VCS for your models too. Absolute shit based on proprietary MS file formats, but it is there and it works.

OTOH there are reasons why you can't do TDD in the physical engineering, much less CI. When you're building a bridge you have to do FEA on your design, but the cost committment of construction doesn't allow much incremental change as you go -- almost all is in response to problems found once you've started building.

Code review is inherited from practices of other engineering disciplines.

That's an implementation problem, not a technical or conceptual one. Diffusion models have shown that they can learn practically all of these things if you make them sufficiently big.
How long can a string be?

The issue is that oligopoly isn't defined in terms of size but by behaviour.

For a few examples of larger cartels (effectively: oligopolies):

The LIBOR price-fixing scandal. From at least 1991 until 2012, the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) was manipulated by numerous large banks. The investigation ultimately extended to 20 banks in three countries. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor_scandal>

The Streetcar Conspiracy. Between 1938 and 1950, operating largely through National City Lines (and subsidiaries American City Lines and Pacific City Lines) operating under direction and coordination by at least nine corporations (the number indicted in 1947). These included Firestone Tire, Standard Oil of California, Phillips Petroleum, GM, and Mack Trucks (convicted). <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_consp...>

OPEC. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries was formed in 1960, and includes 13 countries, all national producers of oil. It has strongly influenced, and at times effectively controlled, global petroleum markets and prices. It's only one of many such cartels or monopolies in the history of oil extraction. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPEC>

The De Beers Diamond Cartel. This is controlled by a single company (the De Beers group), but operates through many thousands of diamond wholesalers and retailers. This is the largest cartel I can think of which readily comes to mind (and I've found that search tends to be dominated by extralegal narcotics organisations), but would suggest that upper limits tend to be high. <https://www.stepbystep.com/The-History-Behind-the-DeBeers-Di...>
May be worth being aware of this sort of thing in advance, specifically in case a speedy exit happens, triggered by either party, when you don't have spare time to learn what COBRA is.

example: "Can I cash in my unused vacation days?" If you're in a minority of states like California or Colorado, the answer is "yes, by law." For many other states it may depend on your employer. Knowing you lose all accrued vacation on exit with no compensation is nice to know months in advance.

There's also more considerations, for example, medical FSA plans.
