IMHO mergers should be illegal. Just never allowed, maybe exceptional circumstances like charities that wouldn't otherwise be able to survive.

The reason is I think it tends to reduce the usefulness of the free market. We want a bunch of firms competing to create value for consumers. A bunch of little experiments that say "hey I bet people want purple toothpaste", with a bunch of little failure domains that keep the damage small when it turns out blue is the best color.

Mergers incentivize people to make businesses for reasons other than creating and sharing value with consumers. For instance, a lot of VC backed firms get bought by a larger giant without ever turning a profit. This basically blurs the market's view of whether the widget they're selling is of any use.

Creating larger firms also encourage monopolistic practices about which plenty has been said. But also it means failed products take longer to be taken down as they share infrastructure with non-failed products. And when a giant dies, a lot of fallout happens.
I am not understanding your sentiment here. Are you forgiving any employer excesses because they have to respond to someone else? Is there really no limit or accountability? How about the buck stops with the bad employer.

> Truly this is becoming a them-vs-us situation with management and board vs their own employees.

It has always been a them-vs-us situation. It's just that 'them' (management/ownership) have been in a hugely advantageous position for a while and so were able to exercise their power discretely. Now that economic circumstances have tipped slightly in favor of laborers, 'they' have to exercise their power in ways that are more obvious.

I would argue a little bit contrary.

Expensive training by the business is an investment in you. If you sign up for the training, you are telling the business that you will return their investment and benefit them. Thus, there is a degree to which leaving immediately after expensive training can be seen as theft.

This might not gain much sympathy when talking of mega corporations, but consider 48% of US Jobs are for small businesses, where the theft of your training can be much more real.

Edit: If I am a small business, imagine I had 10 employees. Training for a niche industry may be much more expensive because I can’t afford to have a standardized training program, and some employees have to be unproductive to teach the new employee how to be productive. Imagine this costs $8K, and then the employee leaves. Sucks. Now imagine 8 people in a row did this.

Worker productivity is still some of the highest it has been in US history, caring about motivation or "work ethic" is frankly silly considering that isn't what companies are optimizing for. If companies still offered pensions and kept benefits and salary comparable to competitors they wouldn't be seeing job hopping at the rate they are now.

It's a free market, want better employees with a higher "work ethic" that will stick around? You will need to compete. This isn't new, my dad growing up worked in IB and would switch jobs, or use existing offers as leverage for salary benefits, once every 2-3 years, and he switched jobs multiple times in my childhood.

How do you know they're not targetting specific individuals? You don't actually know - but they do say they are specifically going after "those responsible for the terror attacks on Russia" ..

Note, I do not support Russia in this conflict - I am against all war, including ours! (West) But it is important to not mis-underestimate ones' enemy - and we don't know for sure that they aren't using the drones to target their terrorists - just like the USA has done, essentially every twenty minutes for the last twenty years.
I think one key difference between the BHI and the KKK is that the BHI never killed anyone or carried out any terrorist attacks.
I just commit them to the git lfs (in my case via netlify). Larger sites benefit from actual asset management systems though.
In that particular sentence, no.
You say they haven't applied the full force of its military, but considering how spent the Russian forces are, it's not at all clear that Russia really has significantly more forces that can be used. Other than nukes, of course.

> Putins' power is limited by democratic processes.

The processes in Russia aren't very democratic, considering the way Putin controls the media and locks up the opposition. But you're right that his power isn't absolute; no power ever is. If too many Russians rebel against him, his security apparatus won't save him. On top of that, he needs to keep the support of the military, Wagner, the nationalist, and various other groups, and if he loses that support, he's also lost. So he has to be careful and ensure he keeps sufficient domestic justification for what he does.

This point of view is agitprop. You don't know they are not targetting individuals with the drones - but it serves your desires to assume otherwise. The USA also uses drone attacks against terrorists - do you think those are always 100% accurate, also?

Functional money is built around trust and consensus.

A critical weakness of crypto is that the actors involved are *less* trustworthy than government.

And this lack of trust and transparency and oversight; combined with the fact that anyone and his brother can mint their own crypto, makes a general consensus on the value of crypto unlikely.

See this nice discussion on the nature of morse:

https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/39920/is-morse-code-b...

> TLDR: We can thus conclude that the Morse code can be understood, and easily analyzed, as the composition of a prefix binary encoding of a 3 symbols alphabet {dot, dash, sep} into a binary alphabet, and a prefix encoding of a 58 symbol alphabet (57 characters and one space) into the 3 letters alphabet.

> The composition itself is a prefix encoding of the 58 symbols into a binary representation.

Check this part:

> However, some people would be inclined to recognize the space DET at level 2, thus making the alphabet quaternary, then using it directly at level 3, encoded as itself in level 2.

> This would meet the standard definition, for DET encoded in binary as 0000. But it would prevent the analysis of the binary encoding C2→1 as a prefix code, making it harder to show that CMorse is a prefix code, hence unambiguous.

In your link, AR, KN and SK can be considered in a similar way, but applied to the decoded message.

Yes it is.

This particular radio appears to have an isolation transformer which makes it somewhat safer, but some older tube radios are actually connected directly to the mains line with no isolation transformer (this was done to save costs).

Those are especially dangerous to prod around in without the proper safety precautions when they are turned on, or even just plugged into the wall.

Helm templates tend to be too complex, in my opinion. On the other hand, having 50 services, deployments, ingresses, etc which have names/labels copy/pasted in 3-5 different places is also extremely complex--especially when you want to make a change to update all of them. Kustomize seems too basic--maybe JSONNet or something fills this gap
This is interesting. Perhaps you'll find it interesting that all the transceivers in Soviet (and allied) tanks during early cold War used this technology. I also saw it in big lorry mounted KF radios from the 50s~70s. There were a bunch of settings programmed in advance and then during use the operator would switch them then multiple dials would turn on their own internally setting each preset.

Those tank transceivers were fm so they are not much of use today. That's one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-123

One of more popular devices still hunted and used by radio amateurs in countries in the region is the vacuum tube power amplifier for the big KF military radio R-140m. Unfortunately there is little info in English about it. It looked like this http://www.r140.de/

In modern times there is a control box made by some amateur that can be used to program auto tune presets in the R-140m linear amplifier. It actually tunes the antenna's network too.
>cannot even open without voiding warranty i think

/sorry, on mobile. Limited research for a few days.
I'm not sure if it needs to take that long, however --- from my understanding, the training process has existed in some form since the early days of DDR and it's done by a sort of binary search (set the timings to one end until errors start appearing, then to the other end, and choose the midpoint). Maybe the newer generations are doing far more worst-case testing?
It heartens me to see here these sort of posts!

Because it means that finally, after decades of us being blinded by

I used to use Dark Sky, which was perfect! It had an auto updating widget with a precipitation graph for the week. Then Apple bought it and shut the API down for non-iOS devices, so I found myself in a similar predicament. Like you, I was tempted to install some 1Weather-like garbage, but I ended up switching to Forecastie. The widget is barebones and it requires 3 taps to get to the precipitation graph, but those are just my own little pet issues.

I am about two years removed from my last career where I spent just short of a decade in a strong union, so my mind naturally snaps towards finding ways that things are not in the employees best interest. In this case - I cannot even conjure up a single reason when this is a benefit to the individual. The argument could potentially be made if there were some world-class proprietary training to the likes of Xerox's old sales training, etc. - but even then, the quality of the training is kept in check by the quality of employees that it attracts. There's a mutual benefit there that is balanced by creating a kick-ass workplace.

The requirement of industry credentials is only slightly better in my opinion but at least they are transferable, e.g., Sec+, CCNA, etc.

>how spent the Russian forces are

How spent are the Russian forces? They haven't even applied 15% of their full forces to this operation, Western agitprop notwithstanding.

>The processes in Russia aren't very democratic, considering the way Putin controls the media and locks up the opposition.

At least as democratic as the West.

He has not had the power he needs to field a full war-fighting force - only "special military operations" capabilities. The longer this war goes on, the more justification ("Ma' Terrorists!") he has to pull off the gloves.

3 weeks from now, we will see what that looks like. I'd wager its going to be a much different scenario than the current "special military operation".

(NOTE: I am not pro-Russia - I am 100% anti-war.. ALL war, including our own heinous drone attacks on civilians...)
Perhaps the difference is that the old tactic did not tell one group to “shut up” as the newer tactics did. Did Nixon do that? I’m too young to remember
Colby from Cloudinary here what framework / tooling are you using? Sorry you haven't had a great experience with the UI, but if you stick around with Cloudinary, I would suspect there's a lot of solutions where the processing / uploading can be automated, such as using a Cloudinary plugin within a headless CMS (like Contentful) where you just use a URL or plugins like the Gatsby plugin: https://github.com/cloudinary-devs/gatsby-transformer-cloudi... (only supports images so far)

If you're on the Netlify side of things, I have a plugin there that automates images https://github.com/colbyfayock/netlify-plugin-cloudinary/

What a strangely negative article:

> Finally, a never-ending supply of renewables would not necessarily solve the world's equity problems in the short term. In some places, the ready availability of lighting, heating, refrigeration and transport is a luxury few can afford. Not everyone would have immediate access to green energy even if it were suddenly abundant, while those who do have access might waste it.

How is this not a parody? We might have too much cheap energy? That's the problem we are now worrying ourselves about?
It's more than fair, of course. It's just a barrier.
