Children do not have the kinds of rights you think they should have. And until they are adults, we protect them from harm.

And society is obligated to not work against our societal norms. Amazon will lose this case and will make the necessary changes.

Amazon continuously demonstrates a dirt bag mentality. Few employees last more than 6 months and they have such a bad reputation. And the more we know about there shady ways… the worse it gets.

Because society values family and children more than ‘censorship concerns’.
When I take your property by force, do you plan to hire a security team to get it back, and then hope that I don’t have more money, and a bigger security team? Or are you one of these libertarians that suddenly sees the value in a government that enshrines in law the concept of “property rights” and implements enforcement?

Do you have a visual? I always hated the thick bags because they are stiff and hard to work with. Thin bags were much easier to re-use for purposes like bin liners. And the shape was just awful.

Things change. Web development has a lot of incidental complexity that these tools help manage. Eventually tools are overcome by the complexity.

Parcel in particular is a clever wrapper on top of several other tools, so I’m sure when their dependencies break they pay the price.

I think some of them are also victims of their own success. Lots of these tools have a happy path, but then they gain more and more users who want various exceptions to the happy path.
I remember a time when there were no disposable plastics bags, also lighters, pens and wrapping for fruit and vegetables at the grocery store. I remember the central bay on the coast without plastic garbage in it. Anyone who spends time along waterways or at the ocean has seen dead animal life with plastic as a cause.

Fast-foward and .. it is measurably true to plastics on the ocean largely originate in East Asia and other non-USA places.. populations are very large there. It is not exactly California that is the source of the majority of plastics in the waterway.

However, note to the people complaining about inconvenience -- there are no plastic bags in nature. They are deadly to many life forms, and entirely man-made. How much pollution do you think is OK? Where is the place to stop it?
What’s easier to prove?

A. The climate is getting hotter.

B. Weather events are more “spectacular”.

If the evidence supports the claim, A is clearly easier. If there’s a lack of evidence, B is clearly easier to prove because level is “spectacular ness” has no clear definitions.

Of course someone could probably come up with a spectacularness metric, but at that point there’s so many assumptions you have to make it’s almost a circular argument.

The fact that Apple is working on virtualisation shows that there is a user demand for running alternative OSes on a Mac desktop. And yet, instead of opening up their hardware just a bit (by making available some hardware literature on their ARM SoC) to system developers, they'd rather offer a more convoluted way of running other OSes only on their terms and control. It's all about having control over your personal data folks - with Apple ARM chips, Apple can now ensure and push that the "best" way to run alternative OSes on Apple Silicon Mac hardware is only on top of macOS with virtualisation. This way, even if you use another OS (through virtualisation), macOS can still continue to datamine your personal data.
Beam hopping adds latency and jitter because packets have to wait for the beam to become available. For example if they use a ~1 ms superframe and they want to limit jitter to 20 ms they couldn't split more than 20:1.

Beam hopping also cuts available throughput. If they're promising 100 Mbps they can't slice things too finely.

Why don't you post from your non-throwaway account?
In fairness, the article itself doesn't mention climate effects, just the following, which I read as implying that voluntary reduced use of single-use plastic bags has had a material anti-litter effect, so the law should have an even greater anti-litter effect:

> According to the Mercury News, the number of plastic bags picked up at California beaches during the state’s annual Coast Clean Up day dropped by 61% from 65,736 to 25,768 by 2019.

I'm not claiming that proponents didn't primarily highlight climate, I don't know, I'm just going off this article where it's not even mentioned (yet practically all the comments seem to revolve around this being an ineffective climate measure).
Very convenient and morally it feels okay, but I believe it's still technically illegal.
Due to higher CO2, more heat is captured in the atmosphere. Early on the naive messaging of that was “global warming”.

That added energy is changing the climate but it does not just mean that everything gets evenly warmer. The added energy means that some places get warmer than other. The differences mean that some areas get dryer and some get wetter.

Those increased differences in temperature and moisture result in storms and other weather events that have more energy and cause more problems. The large scale weather events like the Jet Stream or El Niño become more erratic . You get bigger storms, bigger floods. Sometimes you get bigger dumps of snow with the greater moisture. Some places get less moisture and are warmer for years at a time and fall into drought.

Those erratic weather and climate changes cause problems for humans, animals, and plants. More food sources underproduce or are destroyed. Hunger drives people to migrate. That causes disruptions in neighboring nations. Politics becomes more strident and antagonistic. Small wars eventually break out.

Yes, the messaging has changed a little over the years. That is partially as scientists have studied this more and learned more about both the primary and secondary effects of climate change. The media simplifying it so the public can understand has adjusted the terms they use as our understand realizes that this is not just a matter of simple warming but of a complicated system getting more unstable.
>No nuclear plant built since Chernobyl will have an incident as bad as Chernobyl

Fukushima is older than Chernobyl. This type of thinking is how these catastrophes happen. People keep obsolete designs in operation for 50 years or more and basically make any safety gains today pointless.
Insubordination is an english word, and it is written into employment law as grounds for immediate dismissal. "Disobedience" isn't. Basically, if you take a paid job, you subordinate yourself to your boss.
I agree. Scientific claims should be looked at with the MOST skepticism. That’s literally the point of science.

Good scientific claims hold up to skepticism.
But, it's also okay to be friendly with people you see every day, and whose patience, generosity, insight, and attention you rely to do your work. So, the question is a valid one: how best to strengthen those necessary relationships in a remote environment?
I think the same is true of equity compensation schemes.

I understand the theory of aligning incentives, but in practice what I see is a bunch of perverse results. Rest-and-vest as well as all sorts of non-useful stress in times like these.
One thing I like about Japanese stores, they ask you if you want a bag....partly because they charge you for it (typically 3-5 Yen). For small objects at a convenience store, I often skip the bag. I typically carry my own fabric bags for deliberate grocery shopping, but if I forget I spend the few extra cents, and typically re-use the plastic bags around the house, usually as intermediate trash bags.

I think an outright ban is overkill.

Imperialist thinking. Why should Ukrainians accept having their country invaded? Why should they just put up with it because of some imaginings about how the world as a whole would be more stable if they bowed down to the dictator?

Screw that. Putin in a wild card, a megalomaniac. You can't reason with or even about such people. The only course with such bullying is to stamp it out.

I disagree that it is "virtual signaling" (such an overused term) but I suspect the person you are responding to believe that the state California needs to force Amazon to accept lithium battery returns, the state needs to provide recycling centers that will refund can and bottle deposits and the state needs to clean up the freeways?

My problem with the argument is that it appears if a state is not doing everything then it is clearly "virtual signaling".
> There are, but they are vastly outnumbered by the non-rational ones.

Good luck backing that one up.

> This is often easily distinguishable, as people who start having thoughts of suicide are often terrified of actually following through just moments later.

I this is a terrible criterion because even if you've made the right decision death is still incredibly scary and so is dying (which can go wrong, especially when efficient methods are witheld.)

Your overall point sounds good superficially but I don't see why you think its within your rights to be a gatekeeper for me though. It's none of your business, __at all__. You can want to help all you want, but forcing your "help" on others isn't within your rights.

Bonus schemes can be extremely effective for retention. Partition comp so that enough turns up monthly that people don't struggle and add a significant bonus every N months and there is never a 'good' time for your employees to leave.

Best I know of was every three months as that's roughly the latency to change jobs - after a bad day in the office, the next reward is still close enough to distract from the alternatives.

What difference does that make? If a child was buying this this chemical from Wal-Mart and the cashier checking them out said, "Oh, looks like you're trying to commit suicide. Have you considered buying some medication to keep those toxic chemicals down, or a book that will walk you through everything?" wouldn't you find that at all problematic?

If we can hold companies liable for what their employees recommend, I don't know why we wouldn't also hold them liable for what their recommendation engines recommend.
Even just the idea of incremental improvements needs spreading more. For some reason I needed to hear it and it was not intuitive to me. (Maybe because I was a quick learner and always picked up stuff fast.)

Get started, practice often, that's the only way to have compounding gains at many activities. Music, hobbies, working with your hands, etc.

The long perspective is very helpful. Don't worry about improving today, but about the long trajectory.

Equity compensation works for the CEO, where he has a notable and direct influence on the share price (whether that is a GOOD thing is another question).

For normal employees, it's just a form of pay with extra hoops. I suspect much of these started with ways to get "around" cash flow requirements, etc, but now the accounting rules have caught up and it's not really worth it anymore, for anyone.
I've seen individually wrapped tomatoes in plastic armor box and then sealed in cling wrap.

The amount of packaging is now bordering on the absurd. I guess they do it because people think they are getting a premium product which is just as absurd as the packaging.

The proliferation of cut fruits in big plastic boxes makes me scratch my head. Cutting a melon takes a minute or so, and these cut boxes are easily 4-5x the price of cutting your own, and often not very fresh.

GitLab is great at remote first culture. Check out their open source company handbook. Remote first requires proactive process to keep employees engaged and communicating effectively. If you feel isolated and trapped in a silo, good process can pull you out. Also, look for companies where remote strategy emanates from the senior leadership. A CEO that flows down remote strategy will be more effective.

> I'm working though Stripe integration for the first time. It's one of the worst APIs I've ever dealt with.

Braintree user here, have I got news for you. I regularly have to waste weeks of developer time on payment processing. The documentation is terrible and fragmented, some things are not explained anywhere, support response times hover around two weeks (I'm not kidding), and the canned support responses rarely fit my use case, so there's always a back-and-forth.

This would all be fine if I could just get it done once, but the thing rears its head regularly, what with the newer PSD2 regulations or something else.

As an example, after having done all the 3DS2 integration work (well, it was closer to re-work, as extensive changes were required), Braintree now tells me that 3DS1 is being deprecated (fine) and some of my transactions are 3DS1. Well, which ones, and WHY? I have no idea. I asked support on Sep 27, that was 12 days ago, no answer.

I looked at Stripe and had a really hard time understanding how I can fit my subscription SaaS into it. I think if you fit the simplest common use case and you're willing to outsource everything, Stripe could be simple to use. If you want to be independent in any way, or want to maintain the relation to the customer yourself, things quickly get difficult. But the real reason why I can't even consider Stripe is multiple currencies: I want to settle in three currencies (including USD), and Stripe will only settle in USD to a bank account based in the US. Good luck getting a US bank account if you are an EU small business. Also, pricing looks reasonable at a first glance, until you notice the currency conversion fees and the extra "billing" fee. In my specific case I would end up at about 5.4%.

Why do techie's use .io instead of .NET for domains?
Who do so many techie use .io when there's significant downsides to using a ccTLD vs a gTLD like .net for domain names?

Such downsides include:

- lower cost (.net is ~12 vs $60 for .io),

- a particular ccTLD could be terminated if the country were to change sovereignty,

- more likely to get flagged by content filters, etc.

Vested interests that depend on oil, gas, and coal are even more motivated by funding and have definitely seeded a lot of doubt into the public discourse. This is sometimes called astro-turfing. It looks like grass but it was manufactured. People then pickup those false “facts” and misleading questions and feed it back into conversations about climate change. One of their favorite tactics is to claim that scientists only talk about climate change to get rich on funding.

Scientists go into science not to make a lot of money (they don’t) they tend to go into it because they have a passion for investigating things, answering questions, and because they see big problems that they want to help solve.
I worked at a remote first health hardware company with 35 employees for 1 year. From my perspective, there was no culture whatsoever. There was one zoom party where the company sent everyone snacks and playing cards. But aside from that, nothing. Only work talk. No side conversations, therefore no friendships.

I think step one is to have the zoom call on for much longer than just the scheduled meeting time, which we never did.

I hate all analogies like this (complexity budget is another one) because they are wrong and assume that these pseudo-scientific values are static.

Your carrying capacity, complexity budget, novelty budget, maintenance budget, etc etc all go up over time. And the cost of things against them tends to shrink as well (see: using a novel PL as an example of this).

We aren't static creatures with static stats. We learn and grow. This is hidden dehumanizing management talk imo - a big part of the "fungible resource" philosophy is to not count on humans being human because it isn't a sure thing. But growth & learning is the most human thing you do every day in your career.
