Ukraine was already being invaded and occupied while Trump was president and he did absolutely nothing about it. He praised Putin, he said Putin is a smart man. Worse, he tried to do a quid pro quo to get political ammo in exchange of support for Ukraine, for fucks sake. He was gonna throw Ukraine under the bus because they didn't give him some dirt on Biden's son. How does that not play in the hands of Putin, exactly?

Are you seriously stating that because Putin didn't further invade during Trump's presidency, a president who was keen on taking down NATO and the alliance between EUA-EU wasn't playing in the hands of Putin?

What exactly should have Putin done so you could see that? Just further invading Ukraine is the only point you can see for that?

It seriously tires me out to have to read this bullshit on Hacker News.
Good summary. Leadership can be shared and it's not about power or authority. As Google's data shows, teams can be autonomous and self organising but leaderless teams don't mean leaderless organisations.
Maxwell's equations address only part of physics. E.g. you can't describe anything nonlinear with it, like transistors.

Also, it is quite difficult to prove that Maxwell's equations have a single solution for different boundary conditions. For lambda calculus it is quite easy, there can only be one solution.

Genius, i'm going to start putting this at the end of all my comments. An utterly unanswerable rhetorical move.
This might have worked in 1918 or 1948, but even in the 60s and 70s, satellite and aviation recon would find this kind of trap... It's an obsolete idea from a bygone era. What happens now is, your artillery is spotted by overflight (drone, satellite, plane) or ground asset and the trap is either destroyed or kept busy so it can't be moved while the attack takes another direction. What you are seeing is Russian assets being "fixed in place" thinking their trap is working while Ukraine is making the "real" attack somewhere else.

That is such a poor reason to not like Meta, among many, many reasons. All meta did was publish their results. The backlash ensured that no other companies shared results—but AB testing is bigger than ever across the industry.

Right, pretrial detention is clearly already at odds with the constitution, specifically "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures". Your person has been seized without conviction.

Eliminating pretrial detention would force prosecutors to ensure the right to a speedy trial if, in fact, the accused is dangerous.

1) Revenue solved: Allow limited paid ads after tweets from commercial accounts
So, people who follow Starbucks, for example, would see paid Starbucks ads after Starbuck tweets, say 20% of the time. If you hate the ads, you can unfollow Starbucks.

2) Moderation/Cancelling solved: Allow Twitter users to sign-up/opt-out of content moderation "jury duty." You'd get "Does this Tweet lie or offend standards?" on flagged Tweets. If enough people say "yes", the tweet could be red-flagged, blocked or the Tweeter put on timeout, etc.

3) Faceless Ban Bots solved: Implement a content moderation "Court of Appeals" where a blocked/banned tweet or account could be appealed, again with Twitter users acting as jury. You'd at least get to know why something was banned and get a chance to appeal your case to fellow humans.
Esther Crawford just said:

Well, there are some good places to work. I've heard Hello Games (makers of No Man's Sky) are pretty alright, notwithstanding the kerfuffle with their initial release of NMS. I've had some acquaintances working in various Ubisoft locations say it's not bad.

Though even if it is a well-managed studio, you'll still have to deal with occasional crunch to meet holiday deadlines and such, plus the pay is often lower than similar positions in other sectors.

Real numbers here: $250k for a mid-level UX designer and $575k (base comp) for an Angular dev. That's expensive. And, depending on the candidate, not worth it.

Machiavellian is such an odd word. People use it to mean mendacious, cunning, self-serving...but Machiavelli himself spent his later years in political exile.

His seminal work reads like a groveling apology masquerading as advice to the politicians who had banished him.

IMO, the word works fine for describing someone who gambled on their own dubious advice and lost. Even moreso if the loss stems from a cyclical event, like the boom/bust nature of financial institutions which let the Medicis buy their way to political power in the 1400s.
I don't see the advantage of doing this over ensuring the commits stay atomic, and I see several disadvantages.

Namely, git conflicts will happen constantly; and the file size will graduate from unwieldy to unusable over time. One repo I work on has >45,000 PRs merged. Good luck even opening that file.

The specific test that did it for me, is that Facebook ran this experiment where they logged users out and then wouldn't let them log them back in despite the correct password, just to toy with them to see how long/hard they would keep trying to login, in order to see how addicted they were to Facebook.

I was in the "B" group, and felt so humiliated at how many times I tried to reset my password to get into Facebook.

Premature generalisation is the root of all evil.

According to Stepanov generalisation is something you are supposed to discover as you develop a program, not something you do from first principles.
Taking responsibility is more than just admitting reponsibility. It is also about bearing the consequences. Such as, if you broke something, you fix it. If you lost something, you pay up to replace it. Or similar. A manager usually can't fix a problem themselves though. But unless they pay a cost for their mistakes, they are not really taking responsibility. Then they just pay lip service to the word.

Meta tripled its headcount in past 4 years. The functionality and features haven’t been tripled in past 4 years by any accounts. So, there is obvious internal empire building that was in full swing.

I would agree with that. I said the look wasn't good because I can't know everything but Mick seems to have enough receipts finding a detail that makes Marty look less bad will be challenging at best.

My guess would be Marty made promises to upper management and things fell apart due to mismanagement. If this was JUST Mick and Marty interacting without some level of outside force I doubt Marty would act this stupidly.
It's a good counterpoint to the equally throw away argument that "if you disagreed with x you should have shorted it".

The problem with shorting is you can't just be right about the eventual direction... You have to be pretty bang on with the timing as well.

Therefore it's absolutely possible for people to suspect or have strong belief that something is unsustainable without having the liquidity or confidence on timing to take action on it.

PPCs ran hot and sucked power. Apple's machines at release are ordinarily the most performant machines available for consumers, but that lead never lasts long. The G4 at each new release was indeed more performant than the current Intel machines, but only for a few months. Remember, the G4 was considered a "supercomputer," and the US government banned its export, which hurt Apple, though they tried to make hay with it by marketing this, by the end of 1999, they were desperately trying to get that ban lifted.

There still seems to be some confusion about Apple Silicon and the M1. When M1 was released, it wasn't the fastest processor. You could actually build a faster Intel machine in 2020, but it would cost a lot more money and use a lot more power. What was and is special about the M1 is how little power it uses for its performance, which is decent but, like all new Apple products, an incremental increase in performance, and how cheap the low end offering still is. And I'm pretty sure that today you still can't beat the 2020 M1 Mac mini performance and features on Intel for 700 bucks. What is amazing about the M1 is that it is a lateral move, a platform shift, without sacrificing performance, and it is incrementally faster than the 2018 Intel Mac mini at less than half the price.

Prices aren't going to drop significantly in major markets because political forces won't allow it--there are simply too many retiring people with the bulk of their assets tied up in their house. Probably prices will get eroded by higher-than-usual inflation until they come down to somewhat sensible numbers in real dollars, which is somehow more politically palatable, but that's a much more gradual process, so there won't ever be a "great time to buy" in that scenario.
That was a bad bet, maybe as bad as invading Ukraine. The GOP is even more in the pocket of the defense industrial complex and would very quickly realize that they get to replace and update all kinds of weapon systems and create jobs back home.

Yes, it does, right after Ukraine's territory is restored and the 1M or so people that have been relocated to Russia are returned home.
This comment is so intentionally disingenuous I don't even know where to start.

But I'll just offer up this:

"Large investment firms are converting single-family homes to rentals and building communities to rent in the Houston metro area to help meet rising rental demand, while the housing shortage is driving more people into renting. The Houston Association of Realtors reported June 15 the number of leased single-family home rentals increased 24.8% from May 2021 to May 2022. While rising mortgages and low inventory are contributing to the trend, experts said potential homebuyers are also facing competition from real estate investment firms—or institutional investors—buying properties to sell or lease.

Locally, NAR data showed 38% of single-family properties purchased in Harris County in 2021 were bought by institutional investors. Property data from the Harris County Appraisal District shows nearly 7,000 homes in Harris County as of June are owned by five NRHC members and their subsidiaries."

Many years before Linux containers, FreeBSD jails were easily packaged up via tar, deployed via scp, and started with minimal script. There wasn't much hype, it just worked. It was an excellent software packaging and distribution tool.

There wasn't a hub that I recall, nor was there tooling to use VMs so they could run on Windows/Mac. However, the main challenge, being able to distribute an "image" without requiring VM overhead, was solved elegantly. It just wasn't Linux, so it didn't make news.

You don't need to have a high HDI society with free market principles and individual civil liberties. The requirements for limiting population are even lower. You just need to eradicate extreme poverty and provide decent healthcare and education. Most countries in the world are already on the path to meet these requirements (including major ones). Birth rates are in free fall across the world [1]. There's no one to get on board with "my ideals".

This is exactly what we do at my job. The only time it ever causes issues with some things is when we're ramping up a new project and the PR and ticket titles don't necessarily match the work we've done. But that's more of a problem where we could make everything bite-sized, or we can deliver complete packages in terms of a feature plus all of the miscellaneous changes that we needed to make along the way to make it work. Now, is this the best way to do things? No, you should ideally make those changes separately and push each one separately. But that slows down progress.

Are "results" the only thing that matter to you?

Let's say you have two leaders in this situation. #1 says "The macro economic climate is bad, so we're laying people off." #2 says "I made a mistake; this was my fault." All other things equal, I know which one I'd prefer to work with... How a leader comports themselves is just as important as their results -- especially in bad times.
Binance Seen Balking at Takeover of FTX
Thanks for sharing. This sounds like a very sophisticated culture (though it may just seem obvious to those on the inside.) Whatever the structure or norms (e.g. guilds, squads, cells, lattice, project teams, etc) it sounds like leadership has given some guidance and more important empowerment. But, empowerment is an alliance. It must be taken up with given. By everyone in fact, as leadership is an act not a position, if you go by the definition of leadership as the act of driving change (aka doing real work.) Are you able to share the company? I'd be interested in studying it. info@brettmacfarlane.com

Why would companies go to bat for these execs that are liabilities? Why not pay out the settlement and send Marty to Zenimax's St Helena division to prevent having to pay this sort of thing out again? (or worse, risk the damage of having someone not willing to take hush money like Mr. Gordon).
It's very clear there hasn't been a big GOP win; if they take the Senate, it's gonna be with a 1-2 person majority at most (the Dems have 48 confirmed seats as of this morning). They'd need unity on fucking Ukraine over; it seems unlikely all ~51 would be on board here given the popularity of the Ukranians in the war in the US.
Whereas I'm arguing that housing shouldn't even exist as a "market" to begin with, at least in terms of residential housing. Or at least, prevent companies from owning residential housing, except under stringent terms. There's plenty other places capitalism can take hold.

I fail to understand why heavy controls that enable real humans (not made-up on paper corporate humans) to get a residence of their own, is so damned radical.

I see what the environment looks like, with RealPage ( https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-r... ) and Zillow and Redfin, and whomever else is buying residences left and right. And I want none of it. Burn these parasites to the ground. And damn the "profit".
No, it's a clickbait headline. That said, not many people dig in the preferences, especially the sick joke that is "System Settings", on top of which most people think "Accessibility" = "Disabled" which is just wrong, there is a ton of good stuff under "Accessibility" on the phone and computer. Also I don't remember it being mentioned in the Keynote, but it's been a minute.
