>So it's not like we don't want to be virile. We just don't want to be the cartoon image of virility that men like Donald Trump embody.

Considering how much of the American population voted for and still worships Trump, I think your perspective, while very well written and interesting, is far too charitable to "many men today".
It’s worth noting their entire switching infrastructure is human run mechanical switches and the tech are dated enough the MTA can’t even reliably know where a given subway car is. By comparison, most subway systems have a computerized switching infrastructure with real time computerized tracking of cars, saving quite-literally millions of man hours a year of work.
Do you think that the Anti-Fascism push back from the Government is meant to normalize it?
Thank you for building Minimal and helping on Obsidian. I love the theme and it made me return back and really give it a fair shot!
Are you saying a credit freeze does or does not prevent companies from looking at your employment history?
Then the GP suggestion seems to have a role again - if net zero emissions is not enough, carbon capturing is needed to mitigate previous emissions.

The two are not mutually exclusive.
Plain text is already weaponized without AI. The news media is brainwashing people into some opinion or the other every day. It's very rarely the whole truth.
I feel like their ML is scary good.

Should maybe post on a throwaway but: it will show me the gay version of tit-tok, let's just call it putting a bunch of sweatpant season thirst traps in my feed.

Often videos with like 100 views or even less.

Their ML is likely categorizing d*ck prints, visible nipples, and a bunch of other human monkey brain dopamine drivers.

Instagram will recommends shirtless people. But TikTok takes it way farther. And probably a good reason it got so popular to begin with. People are creeping on kids.
> CEO Mark Begor this week informed employees that some of their "teammates" were fired for having "a second full-time job while maintaining their full-time role at EFX," which is the ticker symbol for Equifax.

Don't punish people for being entrepreneurial, it's completely un-American. If you can't tell whether someone is producing adequate value or not without interrogating their finances, that's on you.

What a conniving snake of an asshole. Can we abolish Equifax? Anyone have a link to the opt-out?

what does someone who doxes the general public for chump change deserve? I wonder what skeletons Mark Begor has in his closet..
Right. 5 hours. Renewables alone won't do it and never will. Despite wishful thinking, we will still also need fossil fuels and nuclear.
Yes I agree. I don't care if Musk trolls about twitter or about crypto or gamestop stocks, but here we're are talking about people's lives.
That's because intelligence is ~80% heritable! Or rather, ~80% of the variance in intelligence is explained by things you inherit.
The article notes that the card won't work in those situations either.
Tech workers are so highly compensated anyway that benefits aren't a huge percentage of the total cost of employment. The main reasons to prefer contractors in times of economic difficulty are: (a) contracts are fixed length, so it's easy to simply let a contract lapse rather than renewing it if conditions worsen/don't improve and you want to cut headcount without having a layoff, and (b) contractors frequently count differently on a balance sheet (as operating expense vs employee expense).

Insane performance as an electron app. Impressive job indeed.
> Executives, especially in the tech industry, have said they're worried that some remote employees are distracted.

“Distracted” like the time that Equifax leaked hundreds of millions of pieces of personal data. Maybe instead of blaming the workforce they should worry about making the company a place that people want to work exclusively. Equifax does not matter at all as an organization.
ohh yes, good tip. Although it's pretty normal in my suburb, but I'll remember this one for future calamities! Thank you.
None of those give you compliance?

A consent popup that makes it harder to decline than to accept is not compliant, nor one that merely cares about cookies/local storage while still loading third-party scripts and leaking your IP address & browser fingerprint.

A compliant consent flow would require explicit consent before loading any non-essential third-party scripts, but I'm not aware of any mainstream solution that does this, primarily because an actually compliant solution would put certain employees and maybe even entire companies out of business, thus pseudo-compliance is preferred over actual compliance.

Furthermore, even if you do actually handle tracking consent properly, it is only part of your GDPR compliance approach. It does't matter if your website tracking is compliant if your backend then uses the data without appropriate legal basis.
Does anyone know any writeups that describe how someone solved a difficult problem they couldn't previously solve, using a note-taking app?
Because Occam's Razor.

Absorption spectrums have never let us down, and are used all the time.

For this one place in the universe to have an exotic particle with an adsorption spectrum is pretty much impossible. To have an adsorption spectrum that is an exact mach for Barium is just adding a second impossible on top of the first.

Given the choice between something surprising and a doubly-impossible phenomena, the choice is clear.
It should prevent other companies from getting your data. It does not stop Equifax from looking at the data they’re hoovering up. It’s going to take a law (something like the CCPA/CPRA) to destroy their Work Number product (by creating controls so tight on worker employment and compensation info a business can’t aggregate and sell it profitably).

Call your state and federal legislative representatives.

(It does appear California residents might be able to have The Work Number delete their data: https://myprivacy.equifax.com/personal-info ; I’m not a California resident, so please report back if this works)

Edit: I qualified my first sentence because Equifax might just ignore your workplace data freeze and hand out your info anyway.
Naturally it's risky to assume that all Democrats agree with each other on every single policy position, but if you mean that Democrats aren't asking for more tax deductions, a very recent example of this very thing happening was with trying to roll back the SALT cap imposed by TCJA.

In my experience with Home Depot order pickup:

a) when they don't actually have stock of something they just silently refund it and don't give it to you. When you're buying a bunch of small things like fixtures it can be easy not to notice that an important one is missing, which is even more infuriating when there's a clear and acceptable substitute to the missing SKU

b) You lose the opportunity to screen for clearly returned or damaged goods, which at least my local branch is rife with.

My alternative tip is to use the website (filtered to your store), where they tell you exactly what aisle and bay the product you're looking for is in.
This. At bigcorp the last thing you want to be doing is showing initiative.
Start hitting the heart button whenever you see 'grey sweat season' stimuli. Unintentional will eventually surface clearly intentional thirst trap small business owners.

Haven't experimented enough with text-based lockfile formats. It's worth trying.

To make serialization fast though, it would still need to do structure of arrays instead of an array of structures. Instead of each package being an object in the lockfile, arrays of package names, of version numbers, etc. it would need a tool to understand it
It's not a little bit of both. "Greedy corporations" don't create demand or consumption.

Corporations want your money so they make things you want. They don't just pump CO2 into the atmosphere for fun.

You just described what happened with mitigating strategies but 1 million dead are the good outcome not what would have happened if we lead the disease run rampant. We didn’t have an option for nobody died and nothing bad happened, just how many deaths where acceptable.

As to COVID just taking those near death, looking at just the US deaths from COVID in 2020 estimates suggest on average people would have lived another 14.5 years if they hadn’t been infected. But that understates the impact as the elderly got vaccinated earlier so 2021 and 2022 deaths tended to be younger than 2020 deaths. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/06/16/americans-l...

In a world without social distancing the extra deaths would have largely come from younger healthier people who couldn’t get access to basic treatments from a healthcare system past the breaking point.
I remember having issues with locking when going to Muir Woods, though I don't remember the details. I think one time years ago I just left it unlocked for our whole home (not my most responsible move)
I pulled my information from their service a while back. You can do the same.

It stated that in one calendar year, I made slightly less than minimum wage. It also stated that during high school I was working for a civil engineering firm on the opposite end of the country doing engineering work.

If an employer places any faith in that data, you probably don't want to work for them.
Reading means revealing meaning behind the written word: that would be indeed a basic AI. Such AI could monitor communications for wrongthink or, in better times, it could read any book or a math proof and answer questions about it, making everyone effectively twice smarter.
The article precisely defines a framework, in its terms, as "an abstraction in which software, providing generic functionality, can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software," where the "overall program's flow of control is not dictated by the caller, but by the framework"

Which is exactly what I am talking about.

If adding a new commandline parameter to your application involves adding a piece of validation logic that gets called on startup, putting an extra line of code into the help text initializer, and writing a handler to be called when the parameter is supplied... then the flow of control is already dictated by the application, and you are adding new functionality over the top of an abstraction. You are using a framework, not a 'function'.
A common narcissistic tactic to manipulate a victim is to provide what is needed, allow that support to become relied upon if not essential, and then all support is discontinued without warning. Maybe Musk is applying variation on a theme, maybe he's just honest to goodness unreliable and irresponsible for getting involved. Maybe Musk isn't a narcissist. Maybe he's also a sociopath, though sociopaths have no conscience and are prone to yelling a lot, they are also irresponsible and unreliable, mostly due to incompetence. Could Musk be incompetent? Though difficult to believe, it would explain some things.

It assumes you go "low level" enough to work linux with servers. I've done mostly app dev the past 10 years, and haven't had to deal with linux yet. Even when dealing with servers, one can probably set up and scale a whole MEAN stack without any linux knowledge.

I don't disagree that it's useful knowledge but I guess I'm too old to be reaping the dividends on troubleshooting my laptop.

I disagree with all of you. Why? I learned in middle school that a 'recession' is defined by multiple consecutive months of GDP shrinkage. That is it. That is why most experts think we are "heading" into a recession without being in one, and news flash: they are right. My normal skepticism tends to go out the window when that particular definition pays dividends over and over again.

Hi proberts! Thanks for doing this.

I'm a Canadian on a TN visa at a startup in the US. Would it be possible to continue to work for this company on this status but stay in Canada?

Is there a minimum amount of time I need to spend in the US or can I just fly in for occasional onsite meetings?
> So yeah country based discrimination baked into US immigration law sucks.

While it sucks for an individual from a high-emigration country, if one of the goals of immigration policy is greater diversity, than country-based discrimination is a fair solution.
Not the person you're replying to, but I think these two things are very different. I expect that the results of injecting substances into our upper atmosphere in large quantities are essentially impossible to model with high degrees of accuracy, and the consequences if things go wrong could be catastrophic. This freezing CO2 in Antarctica thing presumably does have some failure modes, but I imagine none of them are as comprehensibly terrible as if we were to screw up the atmosphere.
>The 2nd Amendment was only intended to be a limit on federal gun laws; its authors didn't intend it to apply to the states, and nobody at the time understood it as doing so. Whether and to what extent state and local governments could regulate gun ownership was seen as a matter for state constitutions and state courts, not something the federal government (in any of its three branches) should get involved in.

How do you figure this? The other rights assigned to the people in the bill of rights can not be infringed by states. For example, states can not pass laws which restrict free speech.
It's not the semiconductor design that is the most difficult. It is implementing the signal processing requirements.

Encoding of digital data stream to RF signal is difficult. Decoding a complex RF signal from amongst numerous conflicting signals, EMF, noise sources, etc is extremely difficult. To create a successful LTE chip requires GHz RF engineering skills (which are very rare) and then massive amounts of DSP programming (which are also pretty rare).

The only way to acquire the required skills is to work in the field at an established vendor's R&D lab. There is no way that a hacker in a spare room can acquire the required skills. Besides you need a couple of $M for test equipment and suitable environment. As for startups, they would need to poach talent from an established LTE manufacturer and pretty much start from scratch. VCs don't like those sorts of risks.

Just because the smell bothers you doesn't mean it bothers everyone.

For instance, smelling most perfumes or colognes gives me an instant headache but those aren't banned.

Smoking wasn't banned from entrances because of the smell - it was because of the proven harm from second-hand smoke.
I find that IKEA is very good at camouflaging the various shortcuts.

Here is a good trick: the fire department requires that stores post the floor plan near the entrance. I studied the floor plan in my local IKEA and I was able to find multiple new pathways that I never noticed before, saving me a lot of time.
Doesn't matter to Equifax. I'm not sure you can trash a brand harder, but they have embedded customers.
Kind of a shame that many company runners feel entitled to control the lives of their workers outside the scope of their duties. It's a thing

I'm guessing that's what people in this thread are looking for? Surely not everyone here asking how to freeze (or providing instructions on how they did it) works at Equifax.

> Absorption spectrums have never let us down

Devil's advocate: we have never had the chance to actually verify an exoplanet absorption spectrum. Could be that they are letting us down every time.

In this solar system, yes, absorption spectrums seem to be reliable. Anywhere else is extrapolation.
The socialist mind everyone just grows into their role in society like mushrooms, and some people accidentally fall into a role where they are able to hoard all the resources?!? No. Not everyone wants to wallow around in filthy tent communities begging for equal distribution. The billionaires are often the people who built significant portions of society by taking risks and out maneuvering everyone else to create massive economic value. They do that because there was incentive from the beginning. The laws society decides on should force everyone to play fairly. There might be political corruption that allows people to cheat or use loop holes that cause inequality. This is much different than stupidly chanting 'billionaires bad'. It requires a much different solution to actually fix problems in reality.

Not everyone is equally talented. Billionaires are the same as sports stars, rock stars, famous actors. You can't just decide to be a sports star, and it doesn't happen by random chance. If society can just decide on a whim to remove the top sports stars cause they are getting too much attention what kind of effect would that have on how sports are played?
> Who gets to make the call

An excellent question. I'd be just as skeptical as you are about all this. And this seems to be a US effort, not a multi-national one? I would hope the US government wouldn't unilaterally decide to do something like this without getting buy-in from... well... literally the entire world. But presumably that would be impossible to do, so it would never get done if they chose a consensus-building approach. Which... might not be a bad thing.
its a terrible company, period.
Not a or the lawyer but I'm pretty sure the answer is yes because I was in that status. I lived in Canada and I held a TN so I'd be able to occasionally travel and work in the US when needed.
The error message from azure are literally just “One of the specified inputs is invalid”?

In some ways, languages - or features of them - certainly can be 'frameworks'.

What is a class definition in an OO language but a way for you to implement some state and some functions in a particular pattern that, when plugged in the framework of the compiled application runtime, will take care of the lifecycle and marshalling of calls to your code?

That meets all the definitions of framework provided by the author.
Meanwhile I just walk back through the checklanes straight to the warehouse to get whatever cheap furniture I need. Nobody's ever bothered to yell at me for doing this.
To my knowledge, that's only been confirmed for Earth, Moon, Mars and a couple nearby asteroids. The rest is just extrapolation of our limited data. P.S. Those razors would better be kept in the bathroom as they only give an illusion of knowledge. P.P.S. I'd inspect material from Neptune first, in absense of better sources, such as comets.
"If AI can read" implies comprehension of what it "read", which implies artificial comprehension, which does not exist yet in A.I.

My first job too! So true. Everyone knows how easy it is to make serious quoting mistakes in a Bourne shell script, but Tcl takes the risk to a whole new danger level.

> The story of Amazon migrating off Oracle is probably in the same ballpark (if that story is true - I don't know one way or the other).

Amazon themselves say it is true: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/migration-complete-amazons-...

Although note this small print:

> Amazon’s Consumer business just turned off its final Oracle database (some third-party applications are tightly bound to Oracle and were not migrated).

No idea what those “third-party applications” are and how significant they are - they could be insignificant fringes or extremely core business systems (such as payroll or general ledger)
