This is how high quality journalism works.

There's actually quite an involved skill to reading and fully understanding this kind of writing - and it's infuriatingly difficult to pick up that skill (I've been developing it by spending time talking to professional journalists, but I'm still not there yet).

When you read "another person familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters", you need to translate it to something more like the following:

The journalist who wrote this has found a credible source, who has insider knowledge.

That source has requested anonymity, and the journalist finds that request credible.

The journalist then used their skills and experience in writing about this area over the course of their career to evaluate if that source was trustworthy. They also considered if the source had their own motivations which could affect what information they chose to share and why.

The journalist may have then cross-checked that information against other sources of information to help evaluate its credibility. This becomes more important the more high stakes the claim in question becomes.

An editor (and potentially even separate fact checkers) evaluated the statement as well, and applied judgement as to whether it held up firmly enough to be published.

There are so many phrases like this in top-tier journalism. When an experienced journalist reads an article from someone else that says "a senior official in the administration said..." they can often narrow that down to just a dozen or so potential people, based on their knowledge of that beat.

As a non-journalist reading newspapers this is pretty infuriating, because there's this whole language that you need to know about in order to fully understand what's being communicated here.
I don't consider myself particularly outgoing, but I'm glad to be back in the office 4 days a week. I really enjoy collaborating in person over a laptop or whiteboard, and shooting the breeze with my colleagues.

That said, I don't have an overly long commute, so I totally get it for those that are able to be more productive due to not spending hours in the car every day.

I notice that when I'm working from home, I'm much more likely to goof off and be less focused. Plus my wife being there is always distracting me with one thing or another. I'm pretty sure I'm quite a bit less productive working from home.
Speed requires quality; there is no trade-off.
What these failing companies are doing for almost 15 years now is 1 step forward, 3 steps back while promising they are 6 months away from the impossible. A.I. is only pattern recognition software statistical tool, that has zero capability of learning by itself from previous experience, and that shows you how any business designed around updating the constantly changing environmental data required to make the robots operate at a decent level, is prohibitively expensive.

> Go ask your team lead/CEO/CTO how recruiting works.

I've been the team lead and talk to my team lead about this a lot and I know of no serious tech companies that don't actively think about employee retention and recruiting a huge part of which is compensation. Leadership at my company spends a serious amount of time discussing and revising our TC targets.

Any company that doesn't know what "they would be willing to pay someone" is a huge red flag for me as a candidate, and I can be quite confident that they aren't willing to even reach the salary component of my comp let alone meet or beat TC.
Then we go down with the ship.

Liberalism in general never worked before the U.S.A. and has never worked for more than a few decades anywhere else.
I really like the website. I think it did a great job at telling us why we should care about Remix the framework, what problem it was designed to solve. A lot of websites for other OSS projects struggle with this.
You don't really have to take a trip down to the factory to inspect a children's toy. Lead test strips are cheap, otherwise take it into your hand and check it out. Is it fit for purpose? This works both ways, my kid would get to ride around on the cool Tesla car while your kid sits on the sidelines following the rules.

I'm not saying that the laws are a bad idea, just expecting anyone to be competent in life is a bad assumption to make.
Yes, it's hard and difficult work and it takes real effort, humility and cooperation from everyone including me and you. But it's work you gotta do if you want to avoid a slow slide down into totalitarian hellhole.
Looks like the motor is a standard "500W" (of course it's not, it's being overdriven) brushed DC motor and this has a 288Wh Li-Ion battery.

Given that this is being recalled for documentation and regulation issues and not some inherent mechanical defect.....

They give you a 1900$ refund and 50$ to "dispose" of it and send back the old motor controller.

Spend $15 of that 50$ on a "brushed dc motor controller" on AliExpress. Well of course anyone doing it is going to actually spend $25 instead to upgrade it to 1kW riight??? Heh.

Sounds like a good... nope I mean great deal to me. Anyone who goes to the lengths to obtain a replacement motor controller (likely of higher wattage) probably has a clue and will have good fun doing it. Too bad there's no field weakening on a brushed DC motor, but you can also get a 1.8kW dc-dc converter for 20 bucks....
As GP said, sometimes, there is a cascade effect. One employee quits, and the whole team follows. Sometimes going to a competitor.

In tech, it is relatively easy for an employee to hedge against getting fired. It is a well paid job, in high demand.

It is not the same if the company fires its janitors, but I don't think I will stay in a literally filthy company that fires its janitors.
A tale of a simple Apple kernel bug
First of all that's just anecdotal. Second I'm not convinced that's an effect of preferences as much as it is an effect of planned obsolescence making these devices useless in practice due to lack of software updates and upgradability.

And third, if we're sharing anecdotes, i also talk to a lot of people who ended up switching phones due to a dead jack or USB port, and have drawers full of fully functioning phones except for a single, cheap, broken component.
The article states at end of 2021 there were 7,000 employees. Assume an average annual cost per employee of $250k (salary+benefits) which might be on the conservative side. This means annual payroll is $1.75B and the cost cutting by laying off 25% (1750) means that would be reduced to $1.31B so about $430mil/year in reduced employee spend. Their 2021 financials indicated a $370mil loss, so this actually makes some sense if the new owner wants to prioritize profit.

Setting aside who is involved and what they want to do to the platform (let everyone run amok, don't moderate til sued is my interpretation) this actually makes sense.

Yes - that is exactly the point of the analogy. Compare for example political speech, which can also have terrible consequences, but where it would be an obvious violation of the First Amendment to (e.g.) prosecute an economist for the terrible consequences of their economic ideas.
Yes, I have set this up to give my wife access after 14 days: https://www.lastpass.com/features/emergency-access
The long delay is simply for security purposes so there's not instant access for someone who hacks _her_ accounts.

The same reason you wear helmet on a bicycle or a hard cover hat on a construction site. It is an addition layer of protection (and with firewall you don't even any discomfort of wearing a helmet) which can protect you if something goes wrong.

Today you setup you shiny new host and you know exactly what is running on it and what ports are open. Some months/years later?

Yes, a single purpose mail server can get by with tcp/22 and tcp/25 for all it's useful life but something more complex?

Or when you don't even know for sure what are defaults are and you 'move fast and break things'? Should I remind you about MongoDB fiasco? [0] Are you sure all your 'internal' services (DBs and whatever) are bound to localhost and not to 0.0.0.0?

Running a firewall in the default drop/whitelist mode (at least for the inbound traffic) protects you against your own mistakes.

Add to this what while you can be an exceptional localhost admin, as soon as you have more than 5 hosts and/or work with other people you can never be sure what every host is properly configured, secured, don't have anything unnecessary running.

The proper remedy to incorrect speech is not violence, from either state or non-state actors. It's more correct speech.
It's the opposite. It's the working from home that's the problem.
Absolutely learn the patterns. You will encounter places to use them. The book isn't an instruction book on how to write software. It is a "here are some useful patterns the occur occasionally during development". Having a common language to talk about such things is useful.

It is very easy to over-apply patterns at the cost of readability and maintainability. Realize the your code is more likely to be rewritten before the of the features provided by your applications of patterns are used.

For certain types of jobs it's still the most effective method out there.
COM has been alive for quite some time, not only does Taligent and Copland ideas precede it (the IDL is lously based on DCE/RPC), similar ideas are used in the IOKit, DriverKit and XPC.
We’ve started to get some in Atlanta, but only in the center of town. I live out in the suburbs. I haven’t been able to try them out yet because the every time I’ve ridden into town the lane was filled with half a dozen delivery vans.
> I found that 16GB on my laptop provided only enough memory for two app VMs

That seems...not right. I typically have 8-10 app Qubes running and don't have a problem, although I only use web browsers in a couple at a time, truth be told, which are my typical RAM use offenders.

Qubes, like most *nixes, will allocate all available RAM when it's free, so maybe that is where you are seeing the problem? When you run additional Qubes, the OS should balance and re-distribute RAM so it isn't typically an issue. I find that it works quite well for my uses.

Do you have any information to back up this claim?

From what I understand, the US is fairly unique in history for pioneering peaceful transfer of power without violence.

Elections are a form of revolution each term.

In most of world history, this type of transfer of power was incredible bloody.

Also, from what I see on the news, the US isn't at all unique when it comes to political violence, and in general it's much more rare and less extreme than what I see elsewhere. It wasn't long ago that Ireland had horrific bloody political conflict, the likes of which we've never seen in this country other than the civil war.
It's not just a suggestion. During the pandemic multiple government agencies worked with social media services to remove content that was not in line with official statements and ban people who made such posts/comments.

Psaki actually admitted it in July 2021.
I mean that would be begging for the "pantsless on the desk" method of quitting, but I get the point.
You do wonder about Newton... But for the presence of better infrastructure (esp home networking, wifi, and 'fast enough' cellular), could Newton have become the Next Big Thing in computing after Macintosh? I suspect that Jobs' learning first-hand about the need for essential infrastructure was essential to the iPhone successfully taking flight 15 years after (esp due to 3G).
I think it's an evolution of criminal conspiracy, where the head conspirators avoid legal culpability for the crime.

Conspiracy is already illegal, despite going against free speech, so making updates to conspiracy laws to handle these cases is the best path forward
So they recognize they're having problems with speed. Dropbox also spent years trying to JIT Python faster with Pyston, and were unsuccessful. They now are leveraging Rust and Go instead.
Violence inspired by disinformation is so drastically different than violence inspired by correct information though.

If a pizza parlor was actually a pedo ring or a politician was actually sacrificing babies (both real examples of widely spread and believed misinfo right now) the violence induced against the perpetrators would be vigilantism but still considered morally defensible to most people due to failure to take action from the authorities.

It seem perfectly sensible to say that we apparently have a big problem due to people literally shooting up pizza parlors over disinformation, and that if someone was shooting up a pizza parlor over correct information the situation would be different and warrant different responses.
An example is when companies have to increase their offers due to changing market conditions; currently they can just silently do that without telling existing employees. But with the new law existing employees have a way of finding it out so they will then go ask for a raise to match this range. Of course employeees are free to discuss salaries themselves but in America that’s still not normal and common.
You can just go to the text of the Opinion.[1]

>The line between what is permissible and not subject to control and what may be made impermissible and subject to regulation is the line between ideas and overt acts.

>The example usually given by those who would punish speech is the case of one who falsely shouts fire in a crowded theatre.

>This is, however, a classic case where speech is brigaded with action. See Speiser v. Randall, 357 U.S. 513, 536—537, 78 S.Ct. 1332, 1346, 2 L.Ed.2d 1460 (Douglas, J., concurring.) They are indeed inseparable and a prosecution can be launched for the overt acts actually caused. Apart from rare instances of that kind, speech is, I think, immune from prosecution. Certainly there is no constitutional line between advocacy of abstract ideas as in Yates and advocacy of political action as in Scales. The quality of advocacy turns on the depth of the conviction; and government has no power to invade that sanctuary of belief and conscience.

It's not intended for the business to continue operating after a leveraged buyout. Leveraged buyouts are typically used where the company has assets that aren't "productive" or is made up of more-or-less independent units that are worth more separate than together.

In these cases, cutting expenses by firing people is usually the first step, since the business' revenue stream can usually continue on autopilot for a while.

I expect Twitter to report record-breaking profits next quarter and Twitter's share price to go up accordingly. Maybe even enough to fill in some of Musk's hole.

Usually it is advantageous to offer it so that you don't sue them down the road and get more money. A lot of times it is less rewarding to take the first second or third settlement offer than to counter for quadruple what they offer.
Recruiters should be talking about numbers in the first interview. Employers should have a sense of what your number is and whether or not they can get there before moving forward with interviewing. If they're not doing that, they're wasting your time and their time.
I wonder which model the federal government prefers.
Balaji Srinivasan posted a prescient Tweet a long while back. I'm paraphrasing but the general gist was that the US intelligence apparatus would be turned on American citizens, as the US started to retreat from foreign entanglements. We are dangerously close to setting a precedent where intelligence agencies effectively choose our elected leadership. This unelected shadow government within the United States must be rooted out at all costs, lest we really lose our democracy.

So then use the pen and not the sword, to fight "disinformation".

Also that quote does not necessarily equate information with physical violence ("mighty" is something quite different), which is what I am objecting to.
twitter already has payment within their systems (super follows + twitter blue).
I think this is by design. Apple wants to weed out non-loyal developers, so only the ones who truly love the platform build software for it. Unfortunately, it drives developers to use cross platform tech instead, which apple hates
Just to be clear, "Apollo" here is the Apollo space program that invented and manufactured space flight and moon landing and return, over 13 years, in inflation-adjusted dollars. Through all the Meta-verse skepticism, I kept thinking that the payoff could be worth it if they capture the next big platform. But this put the scale of the investment in context, and now I doubt that even the wildest success will payoff for $250B of spending. And that's not even counting the opportunity cost of what else FB could do with that money.
>I do not understand why this organization exists when we already have the NSA

The TSA (division of the DHS) exists to condition Americans to having their 4th amendment rights violated:

The fourth Amendment:

>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Every single search conducted of a person in the US travelling without a warrant is a violation of the 4th amendment because it is absolutely unreasonable to search every single person from 80 year old grandmas travelling to see family and children going on vacation.
FWIW, I read that as "let's see what race the applicant is"
The model I apply to, basically, everything about the past twenty years, is to compare it to the Industrial Revolution. I believe we're in the midst of the Information Revolution now and while history doesn't map to the present 1-1, it comes pretty close.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, there was relatively little policing of the natural environment. Aside from property laws, once you were out in nature you could basically do what you wanted. That worked tolerably well, because the scale of what a single person could do to that shared environment was relatively limited.

But with industrialization came massive force multipliers. A single company could cause absolutely devastating pollution to the environment. They could reap all of the rewards while foisting all of the externalities onto everyone else.

I believe we're now in an era where we have to think of the information environment that we live in as a precious commons shared by us all. We still absolutely must have freedom of speech—everyone should have an inalienable right to visit and participate in that information environment. At the same time, no one should have an unbounded right to cause large-scale pollution that environment in ways that harm others, which is exactly what disinformation is.

Good laws are rarely all or nothing. We need legislation that balances individual rights and collective rights.

I do think news outlets should be held accountable for blatant disinformation.

Then they can be fined via a "lie tax" with a required rating on their front pages just like restaurants have a health rating. That tax then goes to fund critical thinking programs in our schools.
Interesting commentary on this from someone who used to work at Twitter:

> Changing the logged out home page of Twitter to show more content is likely one of those “easy fixes” that has symbolic effect but very little to no metrics effect. I ran A/B tests on this in 2010. Usually the best way to grow Twitter active users is make people sign up first
> HN, for example, is already taken over. There are nationalistic and politically-inclined shill groups (paid, and useful idiots) already in here and have been here for some time.

You're stating this very matter-of-factly, so presumably you have some more concrete info. Can you give us more? Who are they? How many? Whats the breakdown between "paid" and "useful idiots"? When did this start? How much of an impact does it have?
The part you quote appears to say that it would be permissible to prosecute someone for the consequences of deliberately shouting ‘fire!’ when they knew that there was no fire (because it’s one of the rare cases where speech is ‘brigaded with action’).

In other words, the court rejected the applicability of the analogy to the case at hand. They didn’t draw the conclusion that deliberately causing stampedes in theaters is protected by the First Amendment.
Why not legislate the other way around?

Make it the law that you post how much you're willing to work for on your LinkedIn profile and that you have to supply it to employers at the start of an application process so neither side is wasting time.

Seems like that would address all your complaints just as well.
Webfinger technically supports that sort of delegation today in its spec: you can drop a /.well-known/webfinger JSON file on the domain's web server (or a cgi-bin app of some sort if you need to support more than one user because the protocol uses GET request parameters to differentiate) and tell ActivityPub servers "if you are looking for user anexample@thisdomain.com please forward to the inbox or check the outbox for anexample@mastodon.social". That works today for things like @ mentions or DMs of an account sending the right notifications. Unfortunately, this isn't yet the best experience because in many places including follows/follow requests Mastodon users will always see the forwarded address everywhere "anexample@mastodon.social" instead of the delegating address and so far as I'm aware there's no easy way to send messages addressed as the delegating address.

It would be nice to see this improved.
