> Have things changed that much?

Funny question, as it should be asked the other way round. People have been having remote audio only meetings for quite long - videoconferencing was very costly until recently.

In my company, it's a rare exception that people turn the camera on during meetings. When COVID hit and everyone switched to remote, I can't think of a single person in any of the meetings I've attended (including 1:1) who wanted the camera on - with the exception of introductions when people were new to the team.

It's not at all surprising as prior to COVID we had meetings with people located in other offices all the time (as well as some remote workers) - it was almost always audio only.

The key thing is, with Fastmail building on open standards and promoting using your own domain, they have very little lock-in here. That future MBA is going to have a hard time keeping people from just moving on.
I have to agree with this. Many Win32 things are disappearing, Azure is running on Linux and Microsoft is porting their major Win32 cash cow services to run on Linux as well.
Please! If there was a way to skip the ridiculous interview process and go directly to work, I would do it every time. This isn’t scalable and it’s literally fraud, since you’re being paid. But if someone is going to go through all that trouble, at least wait a week and see.

My kid chose this approach. He had a mix of startup and bigger (not mega-) company experience and chose FAANG internship because they have the infrastructure to make an internship productive. This was from some advice he received.

By "infrastructure" it's not just code (CI, tools, etc) but personnel, how they come up with projects, etc. New grads or still-undergrads may have a lot of programming experience but none on working as part of a team.
Upwork is a cesspool. There's a lot of shady shit going on in there. Another scam they're doing there is for someone to borrow your Apple App Store or Google Play Account to upload their build.
Is this a real short story or did you just GPT-3 this up?
What happened with ICOs is that the SEC sent a letter to each of them asking why they hadn't registered their initial public offering with the SEC. Most of them backed off and gave the money back. A few did register for an IPO. Some outside the US stopped selling to US persons. Some qualified as "utility tokens", but for that the issuer has to redeem them for something, like a Starbucks drink or an iTunes download. To issue utility tokens, you have to also make something that has some utility.

NFTs were an attempt to evade the rules on public offerings. If an NFT represents a real thing, even a silly real thing such as a Bored Ape picture, then it's probably a collectable, which the SEC does not regulate. But if an NFT is tied to something that doesn't exist yet, it's an investment. Also, once huge "NFT collections" and "fractional NFTs" became a thing, they started looking more like securities.

There's a a long history of attempts to evade security registration by claiming your new thing is different. It hasn't worked in the past. The "Howey test" came from a 1949 attempt to sell the right to harvest oranges from orange groves in Florida to large numbers of people nowhere near Florida.

The process for simply registering an IPO with the SEC isn't what holds back crypto issuers from doing it. It's that you have to file a prospectus, explain who you are, who's involved, their backgrounds, and what you're going to do with the money. Under penalty of perjury. What crypto people call a "rug pull" quickly results in felony charges.
It always depends on whether you can make managers feel like they make a difference; or else they will invent their own ways to make a difference and get a raise.
>Charging $400/hr for someone we're paying $80/hr is non unusual

It's a funny business, as these posts reveal. But there's nothing magical about the profit margins in consulting. There are some efficiency gains with streamlining HR and expertise and knowledge sharing. Throw in some profit, and that's what they are able to charge clients.

If it was excessively expensive, companies would do the work themselves. Many do, to lesser or greater degrees of success.
Why does it not present hell in any other use case, such as computers, phones and games consoles, or actual cars on sale today? Why aren't Tesla or Rivian owners collectively going crazy - there are over 1 million Teslas receiving updates approximately every two weeks? These arguments do not appear to be borne by any evidence in reality.

It's not like physical car repair places have some amazing flawless track record either... Physical access and the servicing of electrical devices do not need to always go hand in hand in 2022.

Right, give up all control over infotainment to Apple of all companies - that'll surely work well for them.

At least with something open source they retain some control. Besides Toyota has already got you and me both because they're who they are - and part of that is they are actively involved with their suppliers and even own them in part.

Already starting to go this route. While you can still ctrl-x/ctrl-v, most of their newer features implement the windows key, including win-v for paste using clipboard history.

While printscreen works, you can use win-s to take a screenshot now too.
> Guess so? At least for popular ones. Aren't private WoW servers like that? And I know Ragnarok Online had similar servers

Ragnarok Online is a bit of a special case as some of its private servers are actually running leaked server code (versions of the official server "Aegis" have been leaked multiple times, including right when the game left beta) versus open source emulations.

This is not an act of war with Germany. This happened in international waters. The pipeline is already shut down. This does not affect Germany's gas supply, as they were already receiving no gas from Nordstream 2.

Additionally, the assumption that Germany would declare war on Russia unilaterally over something like this is flawed. Sure, if this were a verifiable and identifiable attack on German territory, maybe. To suggest that any attack on international infrastructure in international waters with no mechanism for identifying the actor is intended to do anything other than instill fear is mistaken.

> auto-makers are in no rush to become just a dumb pipe for apple or google's driving software

The cellphone carriers and manufacturers wanted control too. They both used to dictate what you did with your phone. Apple wouldn’t be the Apple we know today if it hadn’t up-ended that market.

I can’t really see Apple producing something so good that it makes all other car manufacturers efforts look like crap, but then most people would have said the same about the phone industry.
These days games have been moving in the other direction by making them play out a lot like movies, very controlled and measured experiences that provide a consistent and coherent story.
Lots of advice for making the transition, here's some more: buy your own domain; don't use one of Fastmail's. That way you can just change the MX records if you ever want to switch away from Fastmail, and you will -- in theory -- never have to change your email address on another service again. I've kept the same email address for ~15 years now on this premise.

Trapcc – Computing with Traps
I'm sorry that was your experience with EVE. I can totally see how joining certain types of corporation could yield the boring experience you describe. I also agree that the ability/incentive to multibox is a serious flaw in the game.

But I also want to disagree with you as EVE is (was?) enough of a sandbox that it could be enjoyed in many different ways. I've been winning (not playing) EVE for 4-5 years now, but my experiences with EVE PVP were some of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. I owe this to avoiding grinding, large null-sec corps and sovereignty battles as much as possible. 99% of the engagements I participated in had under 50 participants total, with about 75% in the single digits. I almost always flew cheap ships so I never had to grind much- even at my most addicted I was always a casual evening player so had no time for serious grinds.

I flew a lot of frigates- small, fast, delicate ships that took a lot of manual control and quick reflexes to use effectively. I became known as a scout/interceptor pilot, who would fly ahead of the main group, quickly pass intel back to the fleet commander, then engage until the rest of the fleet arrived. I would also do a lot of less formal hunting and dueling, solo or in very small groups. To make money, I would do the "exploration" PVE activity, which involved a lot of travel through wormholes which could send you anywhere across the game's universe. You had to find your way back home through hostile territory, hunted by players for your cargo hold full of valuables.

All these activities involved constant movement, huge bursts of adrenaline and immense satisfaction when your skill and knowledge pays off. The sense of place I felt was also incredible-you really got to know systems as "good and bad neighborhoods" and the habits of various players populating them. I never really cared about progression or building wealth, so I lost a lot, but also won a fair amount and experienced a rush that no game before or since has matched. Some FPS battle royale-type games came close but ultimately were shallower and therefore less satisfying.

Only rarely did I deal with the typical large fleet experience of waiting, following orders and dealing with TIDI (server lag). When one corp I was with started primarily engaging in those kinds of fights, I left them as there were always other groups or individuals interested in the kind of small group content I liked. It's been years for me, but I hope those folks are still out there, whether docked up in Stacmon, camping plexes in Tama, forming a NPSI fleet in NPC nullsec or cloaked up waiting for a ratting super to feel safe again.

Yeah, I have been disappointed with Weller. Still, anything's probably better than the Radio Shack pencil iron I started out with (and thought I was bad at soldering).
Of course it is. Apple wants 30% of everything their car delivers you to. You're Apple's customer and they're bringing their customers to your business so clearly they deserve 30%. Plus even more lock-in, if you want to switch to Android or something else you'll have to buy a new car.

Separately from the issue of titlebars, I want Chrome's PWAs to open external links in my default browser (Firefox), not a new Chrome window.

That's the conclusion most people with the relevant knowledge (hieroglyphs and Demotic) and no dog in the fight come to. On the other hand, there's plenty of apologetics arguing that the extant Joseph Smith papyri aren't actually the ones Joseph used to do his translation of the Book of Abraham. The mistranslation of the facsimiles doesn't really have an even marginally plausible apologetic explanation.

> OpenZiti is more like a pipe with credentials

That's a better way to think about it, I can see that. The idea of authorizing before connect to an open, listening port is great, but not having a listening port at all in your app is so much more powerful imo. It makes it all that much harder for worms and ransomware and the like to propagate when there are no listening ports to attack. OpenZiti uses a full TCP stack in the tunneling apps - the agent-like things you would install for brownfield type of things but for app embedded zero trust it doesn't need any of that.

Is this whole article a complaint that Python isn't Haskell? What is the point?
Essentially the core problem is Gmail is most of the market, and they have a vested interest in keeping people interacting with their proprietary APIs (lock in) rather than switching to an open standard that supports labels, snooze, etc. Startups literally build custom clients entirely around the Gmail API, which means more data to Google.

And if Gmail doesn't support JMAP, why would anyone else bother adding it to their app?

Monopolies remain the primary blocker on innovation and until we get aggressive about forcing them to use open standards and interoperability, we are going to stay stuck in situations like this one.
Innovation? More like W95 (or even ME) compared to NT, and don't even start to compare ME against BSD/Solaris/Linux or Mac OS X.
By performance I mean the comfort of driving on the road. I used to have an anemic car which sputtered every time it drove. The engine was fine, the mechanic said, just weak. So now I look for a comfortable drive. It doesn't have to be a racecar, but it should be powerful enough to have a smooth ride.

> In 20 years, did the population suddenly increase by 20%?

I hate to break it to you, but let's say the population grew a measly 1% per year. Thanks to the way compounding interest grows, after 20 years, that is about a 20% increase compared to 20 years ago. (1.01^20 = 1.22)

[edit: this just in: https://nitter.net/radeksikorski/status/1574800653724966915]

I see: A false flag by Russia, followed by coordinated propaganda, to convince certain European nations that they just got fucked by US. This then results in a change in popular opinion which forces German government to sit down with Russia and beg for forgiveness.

If RF managed to send special forces in that highly monitored and shallow stretch of waters there will inevitably be forensic evidence. How was it done and what clues remain as to how it was done. Can this be sourced then, right to Russia? So there is the competence issue, and subsequent evidence issue. Not to mention, hey, Russia now is at war with NATO. Something that they are clearly, desperately, trying to avoid.

Second, I honestly don't think this propaganda reaches a majority of the targeted nation's population. (Same for our propaganda). There is basically a usual suspects demographic in any society that eats this stuff up. They are not influential, in general. Sometimes, like in the past 2 decades, excesses of the ruling class effective inflate the number of people who flip to a counter-narrative and it can be a force. Is that the situation in Germany?

Next, you and I disagree about the degree in which "popular opinion" has any influence in immediate and short term strategic decision making by governments. Are Germans going to follow the example of Iranians and revolt in the streets? I just don't see it.

(Long term, sure. Public opinion matters.)

"the US wants us to freeze and pay enormous sums for their LNG."

Btw, this is not what US wants. It's not the money. We print that shit since our CB is blessed by heaven so we can print without consequence ... until we lose global power.

No. US wants the EU dependent on energy flows that are subject to the famous "Anglo-Saxons". That would keep EU in line.
I have bursts of progress trying to learn Esperanto, also with Duolingo. I guess the unfortunate aspect of Esperanto is that you don't meet a lot of other learners in real life so it's a bit of a solo endeavour.

I give a lot of credit to whoever put together the Duolingo course, there's a lot of amusing innuendo with Adamo kaj Sofia and apt sentences like "Li trinkas bieron, cxar li estas malfelicxa".

> By "infrastructure" it's not just code (CI, tools, etc) but personnel, how they come up with projects, etc. New grads or still-undergrads may have a lot of programming experience but none on working as part of a team.

Fully agreed, the code part of the job is really only 20%. The rest is learning to do so in a team and business environment, which is actually much harder than programming.

I learned this in a startup however and would definitely recommend it to others. You learn less "the correct approach", but more or less get shoved into doing bigger things earlier since all the big guns are focused on some ungodly hard problem. So all the medium-hard problems get shoved to the juniors and interns. It's not the healthiest environment sure (I was doing 40hr/wks as part-time frequently), but if you can survive in it for a while you gain tenacity and a lot of skills that are hard to normally deepen until later.
Pay attention to your server's name
I have seen so many people fall victim to these tactics. It's never "what can you afford?" but "tell me what you want and we'll work something out".

> Human social interaction is deeply dependent on facial communication.

It's a broad statement, and not clear how applicable it is for work purposes and for which category of work.

Also, while it has its positives, it also as clearly has its negatives. Most miscommunication is due to misreading of visual cues. I can say it certainly is nice to be able to talk to people and not have them register any frown I may have, when the frown is unrelated to them. Not having to modulate my facial expressions frees up my brain to focus on the content of the meeting.

In my experience, people who seem to need facial communication do exist[1], but it's not a universal thing and likely not the majority. It's annoying when instead of phrasing it as an accommodation they would like to have, they try to make objective sounding statements to support their preference.

[1] I'm guessing that set has a strong intersection with the set of people who used to insist that they be able to travel pre-COVID to meet other team members as "in-person interactions are more effective". They certainly are - for them.
Your links are highly disingenuous. Russia supported armed separatists and started a low-grade war against Ukraine in 2014. Their aims have always been clear: control Crimea and seize control of a land bridge to it. They never hid these intentions, and you'd have to purposefully ignore this realpolitik in order to lay the blame at Ukraine's feet.

Are Ukrainians all saints, souls pure as the driven snow? Clearly not. Certainly not significantly better (or worse) than Russians. Similar people, similar politics, similar ethics. Their country is just as corrupt, if not more so. Their politics is just as dirty. They have their right-wing white nationalists the same as Russia. They killed people in the Donbass for a decade, yes.

But who invaded in 2014? Russia.

Who invaded in 2022? Russia.

Your argument is a lot like saying that the police in Iran are killing women "for a reason".
