You must be unfamiliar with the case; during the case they were bringing up Jones emails, texts, budgets, transaction history, deposition video. They even accidentally were sharing communications from between Jones and his attorney.

Even a search shows multiple articles on this without having to watch a second of court tv or read the docket.

There’s a lot more, obviously he tried fighting producing all this. But in the end you can read / watch a lot of the information yourself. The trial had it as evidence.

> Us law is weird.

A little bit of explanation - this is a civil case for damages as it relates to defamation.

What that means is those suing Jones need to prove (1) Jones factually lied about them (meaning he said - “person X did Y” and Y is a lie. if he said it as an opinion though it’s fine: “in my opinion person X did Y”). (2) In addition, if they’re a public figure (ie on the news), it has to be actual malice - ie lying intentionally, with the intent to do harm.

In this case, none of that was adjudicated by a jury. Instead a judge defaulted Jones. Defaulting is when you’re found guilty because you refused to stand trial (aka show up to court)

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/default_judgment

Jones was responding to summons and providing documentation. You can read the court filings and watch the depositions yourself. The judge just said “you didn’t provide what we think you have” - defaulted! (Btw this doesn’t mean he’s guilty, judgement can’t be rendered with no trial).

That was the most crazy part of all this.

The default was because Jones claimed he didn’t have something and although the plaintiffs never proved he did, the judge ruled Jones refused to provide the data (again, which was never proven to exist).
Why would it bankrupt you? "Rent stabilization" is in place in the big French metropolises (a landlord can only increase rents at a specific rate at specific intervals) and there's no shortage od landlords due to compensating policies encouraging building.

I work at a distributed company with teammates all over the world and the founders in the US, while I'm in Europe. My meetings are often in the late afternoon or evening for this reason, which I've grown to really enjoy. Here's what I find helps:

* As a company, we've largely leaned into asynchronous communication and many/most things just don't need a meeting.

* The company and team are aware that we have people everywhere, and try to find reasonable hours for meetings. Next week, a meeting ending at 18.30 my time is the latest meeting I have. Nobody expects me to be present for very late meetings in my time zone (though if it was unavoidable I would still join).

* I try to bundle my meetings on the same day. I'd rather have a few meetings back to back that go later rather than have meetings in the afternoon/evening on every day of the week. This works for me for early meetings as well, when they do come up: I just prefer to have as many days as possible completely meeting-free. If a new mandatory recurring meeting is scheduled on one of my "meeting-free" days, I see if I can reshuffle my calendar to bring those blocks of meetings together again. Because there are not many recurring meetings, this is often possible.

* I've marked "Ideal meeting hours" in my calendar on my three "meeting-preferred" days, and those meeting hours go from later afternoon to evening in my time zone. This allows my teammates to schedule impromptu meetings on days that still suit me best (whenever possible, which is often).

* I think of my morning-early afternoon hours as my focused work hours because I rarely have meetings then, and accept that late afternoons are likely to be more hand-wavy and talky. This also allows me to mentally prepare for synchronous interaction in advance and not feel like I'm just hopping in and out of meetings all the time. On days when I have evening meetings coming up, I've learned to be OK with starting a bit later or taking a longer lunch. My day is simply offset to accommodate for the meeting times, not extended (at least that's the attempt, I'm not always successful with this).

* I make it very clear to my manager that I like minimizing meetings and having more time for focused work, and prefer async communication. Some people are just more into meetings and feel that seeing someone face to face works best for them, and I make it clear that while of course I'll attend whatever meetings are needed, I am not one of those people who ever _prefers_ a meeting over other options.

I realize some or all of the above could be more complicated in a manager position, but in a well set up distributed team I think it should be manageable to avoid burning out both ICs and managers like this.

Yeah, that's nuts. That's way beyond where even the 'detailed design' phase should go. I've been on projects where DD has delved to the level of identifying individual classes, and I think even that's a bit of a reach. But managers do love their metrics.
Couldn't it simply be the extreme stress everybody's been on? And the recent doom and gloom? I mean in my eyes the world has suddenly become nightmarish since 2020, first slowly but ever faster. I have to say this is probably tainted by my personal experience, I have MS and the stress plunged me into a deep depression (or at least, symptoms thereof), lots of chronic illnesses are sensitive to stress, and lots of chronic illnesses are triggered by stress.
This is great! Thanks for taking the time to write it up and share.

One way to do it is using Session Manager and the document AWS-StartPortForwardingSessionToRemoteHost. This way you can forward a port on one of the EKS node to the control plane and access it on localhost:yourport.

A good article about it is https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-port-forwarding-using-a.... Since that article they introduced the capability for forwarding to the remote host by using the document written above and by adding the host key and value in the parameters.
Sure, a lot of the scientific findings are frequently established before they are formally verified/repeated (and even in "proper" science, it's common to have a hypothesis that you set out to prove) and people can practice them without having any scientific background too.

That is exactly what I think makes something a scientific success: ability to apply the findings without understanding the nitty-gritty.

Sales is definitely a success of applying psychological results too: consumerism is the definition of the current age (in Western hemisphere, at least) mostly because we are driven to consume to the extent we are.

Of course, it's important to remember that psychology, just like most social sciences, is statistics-based, thus none of the results apply on small numbers and especially not on an individual.
If you want the extremes:

Libertarian world = no control of the government over any aspect of the economy, no public ownership, only private property is a right, everything is negotiated through contracts between private parties in society.

Authoritarian = almost total to total control of society by the government. Economy, customs, culture, speech. No dissent to the official government line of policies is tolerated, the people are completely controlled and submissive to the whims of the leadership. Decision-making is reserved to the political elites and the people have no voice in the process of it.

One is an economic-political philosophy, the other is a political system of control, not sure why you want to compare both.

Yeah this stood out to me. That whole area is covered in anti-air defenses for this explicit purpose. Practical experience today show's Soviet-era AA systems downing cruise missiles regularly in Ukraine.

There's a bizarre foundational assumption that during the "tactical" phase every weapon committed is successful, and I have no idea why. In fact it's not clear at all to me why there even is a "tactical" stage of the war: the EU powers being obliterated with nuclear weapons would immediately target Moscow for decapitation strikes, they have no reason to hold back.

Once investing was disconnected from P&E, you are absolutely correct.

The problem as I see it, is investment without value added, a.k.a rent seeking.

Buying an apartment and renting it for long duration without any value added is a problem. If you buy something without expectations of its economical value increasing, only its price, that's a problem.

Buying an apartment and hosting it for short duration in Airbnb (or another way) to tourists, while providing real service, is a real investment. It created real economic value. I'm OK with these kind of investments.

The root of the problem comes from the central bank. There's asset inflation that is virtually ignored, created by low rates, QE, and regulation around mortgages. That asset inflation makes "investing" without creating value a good strategy.
While there are some static type libs for clojure if I’m not mistaken, the standard solution is to use spec, which employs contracts. These can be used to check arbitrary things at runtime, with quite readable error messages.

Also, due to the extensive use of FP and not much side effects, you can catch most of these mistakes at test time - not the same as a good static type system, but it is an interesting tradeoff, better expressivity, but not happening at compile time.
Looking at numbers it seems I was wrong! I must've mixed Japan where I live now and has had a steep coal increase in the last 2 decades[1] with EU and the non-renewable (not coal) increase.

In EU it's coal+gas+oil+etc as a "non-renewable" group that has been increasing (specially gas), while coal itself seems to have decreased slightly as well. As a combination, the non-renewable is less dangerous than coal itself, but still a lot worse than nuclear.

For ML to really make a dent in medicine, the whole system needs to be altered, in a similar vein to how building roads tailored to self driving cars would make them much more successful. Most medical diagnoses are only made when severe physiological derangement has already occurred. If we had access to longitudinal streams of data, then ML would be essential to detecting anomalies which point to early evidence of disease. For example, streaming in regular noninvasive measurements on breath and urine; wearable readouts on heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, temperature, movement; neurocognitive streams based on analysis of email, video calls, text messages etc. But this is a fundamental change on many levels, with many barriers. It will also probably fail to improve the health of people who need it the most. I’m not sure it’s even that appealing as an alternative to the current meatspace system.
I'll always admire clojure. Loved the simplicity and philosophy, and I wrote a few toy projects. Unfortunately I felt like I could never really take advantage of the power of clojure or do real work in it because I didn't know or have a history with Java. It always felt like clojure was for enlightened Java or JS programmers, and I didn't want to learn Java and clojure at once so I was stuck in beginner land.
Lumping all of the boomer gen into one group isn’t bright. If I look at Xers and millennials, they have distinct subgroupings that vary from hyper responsible to nihilistic. The boomers were the same, they’re just getting old. It should also now be fairly apparent that voting doesn’t seem to change that much in Western “democracies” regarding this particular topic. No matter who gets in, the bankers and the military contractors seem to make billions. When the boomers did rebel (and they did in a very major way), some of them were shot and killed, others were beaten by cops in the street, and still more of them were hit with fire houses at close range. The late 60s were hell. Yes, there are tons of boomers who suck, but my own generation is pretty shitty too (older edge of millennial).
Yes. Lack of housing is still not a problem. When houses are cheap people can afford buying them or have new homes built.

It’s unreal how many people in the comments here haven’t spent any time researching basic issues in Western housing markets.

People keep talking about evil investors and taxing secondary and investment properties. But the biggest group of housing investors are primary residence owners: we turned housing into a nest egg retirement plan, and now we can’t undo that.

Housing cannot be both affordable and a good investment. Housing should not be any different from any other good or service. This all stems from massive government intervention in housing markets decades ago on the basis of horrible conclusions of family wealth, and further intervention isn’t going to fix things.

You want cheaper housing? Slash regulations and NIMBYism, and get government out of the equation.
As I understand it, if we had true end-to-end encryption, I would have to make sure I kept a set of keys, copied them between every computer and phone I used for chatting, and if I lost those keys I'd lose all my messages?

Honestly, for most people I don't think that's functionality they would want, at least without us getting much better at interfaces and usability. Standard ways of storing keys, for example in a password manager, would be a good start (does this already exist and I've missed it?)
I'm a late boomer (1961). I don't blame the generation before me. I've known lots of them. My values, who I am, and what I do, stands entirely on their shoulders.
Powell does whatever the popular narrative tells him to and he’s been that way since he took office. The idea that he’s fundamentally a hawk at his core is totally absurd. If that were the case he’d have enacted tougher policies a year earlier when many economists were saying he should and that there was absolutely no reason for the fed to be buying tens of billions in mortgages during a housing shortage with record low unemployment.

Now because he’s lost credibility and everyone thinks he’s a joke he’s acting tough. But in reality he is totally reliant on cpi data. As soon as that comes in (nobody knows when many have been eager to call a top for several months and continually getting burned) the narrative will shift for the fed to slow down or cause a major recession and believe me they will. The sad reality is that this fed is not made of rigorous economists who have some read that nobody else does. They have absolutely no idea what they’re doing or what their policies will or won’t do down the road. So the best they can do is try and preserve market order by giving the appearance of having control and keeping stability.

It’s like dominoes- cpi data moves rates which move the stock market. It’s all one trade.
The fact that it might be 20 million rather than 40 million Americans who might die immediately doesn’t exactly fill me with comfort.
Yup.

I ran the math when I rented in SF. I was paying about half of what my place would cost to own.

Even with housing doubling in price, the returns from the market were 3x (though not leveraged).

Assuming 20% down and the cumulative monthly difference, maintenance, transaction costs, and what equity I would have gotten back, I pretty much broke even to owning.

OK so here's my first-hand experience. In the 20+ years that personal cell phones have been commonplace, zero flights have experienced an accident as a result of that cell phone use. The FAA has also walked back the ban on use of personal electronic devices.

I appreciate that you feel strongly about this, but the world has done the experiment millions of times over a couple decades. We do not have to wonder about the outcome, the work was already done. Nothing happened.

So, neither reality nor the current stance of the FAA are in alignment with your assertion. "Funny how people..." indeed.
I love that it has the Shelburne Falls bowling alley. Anthony was in our little town not to eat but to interview folks about the drug problem in rural areas. A good friend of ours happened to see him go in there and then ran into my wife on the street and told her.

Lots of people here have been saying that you should find a new job, which is probably not bad advise, but I do think you could also try to insist on boundaries more. If you don't set any, people won't respect them - it's often that simple.

You can compromise and agree on "core hours" where you'll always make yourself available, even if that's in the evening, as long as you can arrange for it. The company can compromise and adopt a more async style of communication (I've established that several times both in leadership and consulting roles - it works, you just need to know how to talk to C levels in their language.)

You could even give your leadership some weeks to come up with a solution, telling them your requirements (along with things you could compromise on). If they truly expect you to be available 24/7 - it'd be surprised, but that's clearly not a good place to work then. From my experience, this is the exception, not the rule.
Hmm? That means half your workday already overlaps with the time you are in the office anyway. If you just schedule all meetings before 23:00 you should be fine.
Maybe you could figure this out yourself, and share your findings, rather than demanding answers from others?

Interestingly, Erlang is often called a "true" object-oriented language thanks to its actor model. It's incredibly powerful and flexible, pretty much the opposite of restrictive. Just for a simple example, you can inspect, debug and modify your program while it's running.

Buying a house to live in it is fulfilling a crucial basic need.

It's extremely different from an investment in many ways. If the value of a house goes up spending a day in it does not feel any different.

If someone offers you a lot of money for it you can sell it but you still have to buy or rent another one. Very very few people want to have a lot of cash but live under a bridge.
