> Things would function just fine, if not a lot better, without such unnecessary burdens being forced on employers and employees.

Oh yes, ‘at-will’ states are absolute front-runners in employee happiness.
This is easier to say when you design how things should be built versus actually building things, but it is a great goal.

Apple could do so much more for the environment, but it would hurt their profits.
How long you keep them is only one side of the story. The other side is how often you buy stuff. You could make an argument that the average person buys more electronics because Apple started pushing it to the market.
Agreed, but strictly speaking the model would probably still be based on a general model such as Stable Diffusion, then "fine-tuned" to render only interior designs. For example the NovelAI anime image generator was based on SD then fine tuned on anime art, and it works incredibly well - it can generate anime art of basically anything you ask, because the model has the wide knowledge of the Stable Diffusion model but is fine tuned to the anime art style.
Given how volatile fx has been, you would get completely different results another month.

For me the age of JavaScript isn't particularly important. I just don't think any one of the well-known options are good enough that I would want the community to throw a big portion of support behind it.
tl;dr:

Odd product evolution, to be sure. Taking away custom email addresses.. why?
Leadership are mostly also employees by the way.
Was in the Santa Cruz area at football practice in 1989. My knees were in my face. We were not able to go into our house for a week until it was determined safe. Us and all our neighbors camped in our front yards and had a huge block party. The community was left to fend for ourselves with no water and no power but everyone coming together. Grocery stores opening with no power letting in like 20 people at a time. It was probably the most a part of a community I ever felt in California. Hiking Nisene to see the epicenter was cool. Me and some other football players went around looking for people that could use overexcited football linemen teenager help. We moved so many trees/branches, and were feed so much BBQ steak (no power so everything in fridges was getting grilled up and shared).
> Every mobile phone I had in the 90s/early 2000 had a different charger, even within the same brand.

I'm referring to cordless phones, not cell phones:

No fiddling with any wires needed. Why can't we get docking stations like these for cell phones?
Ethical in what areas? They're pretty good with their environmental reforms after Tim Cook took the helm (I'm not talking about removing the headphone jack or lack of chargers in boxes, but having mostly paper packaging which he needed to convince Jobs to adopt, the book Tim Cook is a great introduction), but the way they take 30% off every transaction and generally act like an artifical gatekeeper when IMO they should be more intercompatible with other companies, is unethical to me.
Twm, dwm or aewm might be good places to start for that
Yes, you can replace "twitter.com" with "nitter.net" in the URL in your browser to get a readable version of a thread. The rest of the URL is the same.

Because I don't post that often, I actually use an add-on to automatically redirect from Twitter to a Nitter instance. Makes life just that little bit betterer.
Yeah, big tech has had it all figured out for a while now. At my company departments would get a target retention number. Going too much under or over that was a problem. If a certain % of employees outside of the top performance buckets weren't unsatisfied with their salaries and leaving, that meant you were paying everyone too much.

It's crazy how much science you can apply to HR once you are working at a scale of tens of thousands of employees. At that point people aren't people anymore, just nameless resources to be plugged into an equation. Kinda like the "a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic" analogy. Stack ranking follows the same principle.
> How do courts declare certain executive orders unconstitutional, and yet the perpetrators, who took an oath to uphold and defend said rights and values, face no consequences?

Same way no one suffered any consequences for deciding to support the opposition in the Syrian civil war to piss off Assad long after it was obvious they weren’t going to get him out and the only consequence was going to be lots of dead Stands mom Syrians. Same way there were no consequences for bombing Libya into civil war and open air slave markets. Same way there were no consequences for no WMDs in Iraq.

There needs to be a coalition to make them pay. It needs to be not just powerful enough, but committed.
I can totally see why this one would be someone’s favorite.

It's nice to be able to hit back to close it, especially on phone browsers. And it's also nice to stay on the same page context the entire time, so it can respond much faster and doesn't screw up the scrolling.
> Median real personal income has risen significantly in the past 1-2
generations.

That's already a warped measure. Given that we've seen GDP (and some other measures of overall economic productivity) rise during that time, the least you'd expect is that "median real personal income would rise".

But the more relevant question is: how has median real personal income risen compared to the overall increase in productivity? That is, we're doing/making more (and also buying/selling more), but who are the beneficiaries of this growth? If it isn't basically everyone, why not and should it be?

And here's the SLF graph for that:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=Vgqj

which makes the actual situation very clear: real median personal income has lagged substantially behind real GDP per capita ever since 1975 or so.
How far have the mighty fallen. "One weird trick" is next...
I think this is just created by running a depth prediction model on the output of stable diffusion and then inserting the relevant mesh into a 3D scene. The output of stable diffusion isn’t seamless by default, so those jumps will happen.
Where can we read it?
Is it though? I've never worked as an actual employee, but I'm working in long-time contracts as a freelancer with companies. I've always found it pretty easy to tell who was carrying a project and who was dead weight. Might be different and harder to calculate for new projects, but for existing ones that are maintained, observing who gets asked when weird things happen and who solves the strange issues usually identified the people who were instrumental. If someone is off a week and nothing moves, that's someone you probably want to keep (and probably also a situation you want to resolve, because that's not a good thing).
I have suspected for a while that the single biggest cause is our lack of a national Land Value Tax (LVT). After all, Henry George predicted a century ago that continued technological progress and wealth creation would also lead to poverty unless there is a sufficient LVT. Until then, whether you or your family holds land is going to be a primary factor in whether you benefit from our societal progress.
It's implied you've come up with a business plan and you state you have sorted out how much things cost though you should probably take inflation into account and your profit margin is likely going to need to be increased to make up for those costs.

The other research you'll need to do is supply and demand. Is what you're doing even in demand and if so, how much supply will you need? Will you need a patent for your product? It seems like you've already done this as well.

If you do get one... once you have that patent, you could approach other companies and see if they are in the market for your product. They can license it from you, ultimately funding your operation, and allowing you to do more, while also giving you the reputation and customers you'll need.

It's a fairly small business investment you seek... YOLO is a good philosophy to have. Think of it as funding another college degree but instead, it's your actual business. You have two options with this: take the risk or don't at all. You'll be more upset with the latter, especially when someone else comes up with the idea and runs with it. You'll only wish you did it.

If you succeed, you'll turn your small investment into a fortune.
If you don't succeed, you'll just owe some money to the bank.
Another day.. another dollar.. we've all been there.

If you can't find business partners in the beginning and are just seeking the loan, I'd suggest looking around your town for a credit union or a small bank who can probably give you a better interest rate than most. I personally stick with my Discover card that often supplies loans with 5% - 6% interest, which is often better than most, especially in this economy. It is rare, but there are bank/fund/credit companies that value loyalty with good credit out there.

A search of "small business banking" and "small business loans" after you've established your LLC may also help, with banks giving you a pretty good deal just for being a new business.

I hope this advice helps you somewhat... but you do sound confident in what you're doing, so do it. Remember.. most of the greats started out in their garage... and got help from their parents. They started somewhere, believed in what they were doing, even when the rest of the world couldn't even grasp the concept.

So get going on this opportunity!
This is a microcosm of poor performance management. You need an effective way to get rid of bad hires, clear out dead wood, and retain your top contributors.
This is just an off the shelf img2depth model run on top of stable diffusion - I don’t think there’s a novel model or research behind this. People have been doing the same thing in colab for a while.
My state's republican governor sued mayors closing down construction sites during the peak of the pandemic, and also exempted a dizzying number of industries and sectors.

For example: if you sold an ATV to a town police department, you were deemed an essential business and thus got to ignore the closure orders and keep your entire business, both offices and showrooms/repair centers, open.

...but then his administration also went around shutting down bicycle shops in the city. Guess what a lot of medical staff and "essential" blue-collar workers depend upon for transportation, particularly since the public transit system was largely shut down, dangerous to be on public-health-wise, and doesn't operate at hours useful for some shift workers?

Eventually he got the message, but not after a lot of very cringe comments to the press about the pandemic being "real" and implying that bike shops were just frivolous luxury stores.
I would think it's because of the different current specifications.

In the UK most electrical outlets are on ring circuits that are limited to 32A - that's a whopping 7.5kW. Fuses in the plugs of specific appliances provide additional protection with 13A being the largest (3kW) required.

Bathroom outlets are required to have a separate transformer that isolates ground. This prevents the possibility of any electric shock from a short to earth. The current the isolated transformer provides is limited so connecting a regular appliance cannot be allowed.
Good managers and HR leaders will recognize when people are teetering on leaving. Not always, but I've known a few who have given raises to keep people around and knew that others were planning on leaving before they announced it. In a healthy organization you can have frank conversations. Or even ambiguous ones. It's just rare.
Sorry to read this, and my condolences.

Everytime Microsoft forces its product upgrades (I'm not talking about security patches) on people and through shady dark UI patterns, it turns thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of peoples' lives into shit.

The fact that they keep insisting on repeating this awful practice, year after year, even perfecting it at each iteration, can only be explained by a company being run by sociopaths, in my humble opinion.

Microsoft has absolutely no sense of responsibility when it comes to its retail market, its product owners would rather compromise the integrity of any senior's computer to make it unusable than just accept the fact that most people on earth don't need a new Windows every two years.
> In the UK, these two factors come together

And here I thought America had the lead on combining the worst parts of different systems! As in Wall Street loves privatizing profits while socializing risk like happened with the sub-prime fiasco.

But the Brit’s applying the strategy to the social strata is next level. Seems us and the Brit’s really do share a common cultural heritage. Well we still got bigger hats. ;)

To offer an alternative view to those bashing Apple it appears they have made solid progress on reducing emissions over the last 5 years. Some concrete stats on their emissions reductions can be found on page 84 on this report https://www.apple.com/environment/pdf/Apple_Environmental_Pr...

Total gross carbon footprint (without offsets)
(metric tons CO2e):

Fiscal Year 2017: 27,500,000

Fiscal Year 2021: 23,200,000

This include Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions so AFAIK includes things like transportation of goods.

For scope definitions see https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/what-a...

Edit: Corrected yearly emissions

Why would it make sense to exempt those people but not, say, firefighters?
But a typical US worker has to pay significant amount of health insurance premiums and has a significant $3k to $10k deductible and up to $17k out of pocket maximum.

Assuming the common 70%/30% premium cost sharing for a silver health insurance plan, an American has to pay somewhere around ~$200 per person at the minimum. That is $2,500+ per year for a healthy young adult, and goes up from there, especially for those with dependents who may not even be subsidized by the employer.

Although, the quality and quantity of healthcare actually delivered and received in both countries is heavily in flux, making comparisons even including insurance costs quite difficult.
> Even if the resources between the two pages are shared and those shared resources properly cached, time is lost relative to the more instantaneous process of making partial edits to an already loaded page and only loading the JavaScript necessary to pull in features that weren't on the page navigated away from

Technically, yes. Whether it's significant difference is reflective of the engineering, and sometimes, on the product design.

And the beauty of not using JS navigation is that you don't need to draw the page using JS templates. The dynamic data, sure, but the rest can load pretty instantaneously.

Out of curiosity, when's the last time you built a web app that doesn't rely on JS navigation, and architected it with that in mind? What was that experience like, and how does it compare to your JS experiences?

Umm no, 150k US or UK is not rich! look at just rent in these US cities:

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/11/how-much-money-you-need-for-...

what I am getting it is not a critique of the UK, its just that housing, cars and alot of other things are wildly expensive compared to what people make(in the US and UK). And in the US alot of folks I know are making at that level or above and are solid blue collar, police and firefighters, and electricians, or nurses(they are based in the bay area so that may skew things)
I still remember the first time when I collaborated with Wolfgang. He was such a kind and open minded person with a such a great value system.

Together with the amazing Denx crew we upstreamed all our custom CPU modules to the U-Boot source code. We also collaborated on the 2038 support within glibc, Linux Kernel and of course U-Boot.

I still remember when I did a demo of GitLab and Travis CI to Wolfgang and of course we also exchanged on personal topics such as nice restaurants in Usedom.

Once I explained Wolfgang about the pain of license compliance and shared the idea to use SPDX-License-Identifier. He agreed on solving this at the source code level like engineers would do and he made https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commit/eca3aeb352c964... in 2013. Nowadays, this ended up within Linux Kernel and many other widely used open source projects.

He was a real pioneer and I'm so sad he passed away. I will always remember and wish all the best to family and friends!

This is pretty good insight. Now I'm wondering what public data sources show overturned bills as well as all sponsors of a bill. I think Congress' website tracks the latter, but the former might be difficult to obtain.
Adobe? Unlikely. Adobe can hire AI people on graphics and merge with their own expertise on parsing graphics with matrices, something they've done since... forever. They're experts on PS, PDF, graphics and video production.

It used to be available to detect, but they changed it a long time ago.

It made it easy to help someone find their local ip address, without having to click around in settings or the command line:

But I understand the fingerprinting/privacy concerns, so it's for the best that it's not available.
In the early days computer programming was considered a clerical job one learned in trade schools. I think people looked down on it partly because many of the early programmers were female, beneath the dignity of a male profession.

It rook my alma mater MIT until 2018 to recognize software worthy of a department in itself (after a huge financial donation). Before then it was a step child of Electrical Engineering. This is kind of ironic because me and most of my classmates ended up writing software for money, though almost none of us majored in that field.
TabPFN: Transformer Solves Small Tabular Classification in a Second
>where's the penalty for committing those actions in the first place

You've hit the core problem of society/government that countless generations have tried to obfuscate via an academic body that implies that social interactions can be studied/understood like natural sciences.

At the core, all social structure is built on the threat of violence - Commit non-violent white collar crime? Show up to court, because if you don't you'll get arrested. Run from the police when they try to arrest you? You'll get taken by force.

Reject Capitalism? Starve to death on the streets.

Sure, there's political theory and economics can act like "utility" drives all things, but at the end of the day, it's the threat of some sort of violently bad outcome that keeps society in check.

The recent rub is that we have (probably correctly) decided that violence is bad and we should all just be chill and work together because it's good for all of us. We've also created hyper complex systems that couldn't even theoretically be kept in check with violence (Who am I going to punch when I was duped by a crypto scam?).

So instead of angry mobs tarring and feathering bad politicians/business people (probably bad) we just grouse on the Internet (bad but not as bad).

And stuff like this keeps happening, because an increasingly large number of people (especially the wealthy and politicians) are realizing the threat of violence isn't that great anymore. Like look at Elon Musk - his whole deal is proving that there are no bad consequences to doing whatever he wants and he's revered for it because people who still have a risk of violence in their lives are jealous but believe they one day could get to a similar place.

There's not really a solution other than figuring out how to may people be chill and cooperative on their own (good luck).
Have you ever used VS/Resharper/Rider with C#?

I don't understand how you can come to the conclusion that type checking is broken and the language is not toolable? Can you give an example of where Kotlin's tooling achieves something that is not achievable at the moment in a C# IDE?

(I've not used Kotlin much but I have never felt that the tooling for C# was lacking, so I am genuinely curious)
It only has to get the SAM within such a range that the target can no longer avoid it. Once within this range the SAM can home in using active radar which will light up the threat display in the target but leave them no space/time to react.

When a senior person walks out the door, they also take their network with them. Whoever the company replaces that person with, they are not going to have the same (or if external any) network. A lot of interesting and important work at large companies gets discovered by ICs (Individual Contributors) with solid networks talking to other ICs in other teams. That work won't happen without ICs who know a lot of people throughout the company.
Not sure if absolute economy size is really relevant. You could have 20 billion really poor people. You could have 19.9999 really poor people and one really rich one. I would consider both of those poor.
