I think there is an opportunity for them to make a calendly competitor that handles self service zoom meeting scheduling.

Another spot I’m surprised they aren’t embracing more is becoming a training and learning management platform since a lot of zoom recordings are trainings and they could help facilitate this in the platform.
The assessment of their psychological “problem” (often too broad to even be considered a condition) is pseudoscientific: a qualitative evaluation.

The assessment of the success of CBT is also pseudoscientific: a qualitative evaluation.

The result is a field with 40% replicability of journal results.

And you share a meta analysis of these pseudo-scientific “studies”. Add another layer of abstraction to the nonsense.
To be honest, my experience is limited to double-checking my algebra with the free Wolfram Alpha. I need it maybe a few times a year.
Now that you mention it, there is also a final one-time fee for the thesis defense and PhD diploma.

But putting all the fees together, it's less than €700 for the whole PhD programme. There are no administration fees or other large fees.

> Yes, the Germanic tribesmen were climate refugees.

Not quite. Those germanic tribes were fleeing the huns. The crossing of the danube in 376 by the goths (as war refugees) and the crossing of the rhine in the winter 405/406 by the alans and vandals (as invaders) allowed them to escape the huns.
There were extreme climate events recorded in the late antiquity, but that happened more than one century later. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter_of_536
The Justinian plague occurred 541-549, amplifying the problems of the byzantine empire.
Returning to the germans, also in the late antiquity, there is an obscure and unexplained event, in the period 500-550 the vistula and elbe basins were depopulated. Germans migrated from those places or they perished there.

> I think leaders are often misunderstood of being only authoritarian, but thats not the case.

Leaders spend more time thinking about other people than anyone else in a company
They'd cover it. They might need to call up the fed, but they'd cover it.
I have experienced leaderless teams in my career (46 years) a handful of times.
They formed around a problem that was unrecognized by Management (thankfully) but need to be solved. My best example was at a large SW dev firm in the late 80s. World wide electronic communications was need and faxes and leased lines connected to Decwriters were not good enough. I was assigned to the task as just one of my responsibility. A Single 1200 baud access to internet email at a university solved the problem. The problem expanded many people wanted the same service so we need someone (team member 2) who had access to a UNIX systems. Eight serial ports and 2400 internet connection to the first local ISP.

Rinse repeat 5 years later 10 people, part time, supported all internet connections and intranet/internet web-servers including application without management sanction. Everyone had a service role in there own department. Being connected to the others meant we performed at a high level. We didn't have a leader per se but we all moved in a common direction.

It lasted 8 years and finally several Directors discovered we existed as a team. Like sharks they each took a bite out of us, each one trying to become the dictator of the internet. Procedures were imposed. We were not allow to speak to each other with out going through the directors. Our individual productivity dropped. Angry internal clients screaming for the old way. Nothing got done.
Three months later the director that won got half the people back together but we were not the same any more. I still found interesting work for 2 more years before finally leaving.

Leaderless teams can work under the right conditions. I have tried to create them when I moved into management and it worked to some degree a few times. I did not lead or participate in the teams I just suggested people talk to each other know that the might click. I fed them problems (and resources) that I knew that they could solve that I knew would take more effort/time if we did it though channels.
The individuals got recognition and I got my problems solved.
And over-leveraged, for a brokerage, is a major problem. A brokerage is not a bank, and account-holders are not earning interest. Therefore if you are taking their funds and doing something else with them (a pre-requisite for insolvency, unless you are hacked) is a major red flag for illegality.
Primitive folding iPhone built from Motorola Razr and iPhone parts [video]
That sounds like a great approach!

I think some of the magic stems from ubiquitous conventions regarding bindings throughout eMacs. If you use evil mode, the conventions become a little murkier. I’d recommend sticking with the vanilla bindings (I haven’t used Doom, so I’m not actually sure if evil mode is default). This is just my two cents. Doom will be a great introduction either way.
This was very similar to my experience with the "greater Sharepoint ecosystem".

At one point, maybe still today even, MS was pitching SP as a great environment to build and run custom apps inside of.

I put a lot of time and energy into trying to leverage SP in this way -- the result was extreme disillusion. Underneath the covers, believe me you do not want to "see how the sausage is made."

Around the same time one of the Sharepoint evangelists (or similar) wrote an article explaining that Sharepoint components/features (WIKI for example) were "never intended to be best-in-class or even close to it"

I mean, WTH that kind of statement should not instill confidence in anyone.

> presuming everyone is working toward the same ends (NOT a given)

I have realized that in many cases neither the decision-makers at the client nor the decision-makers at the consultant/vendor are working towards the ends of a succesful product. Their ends are their careers, and benefit to their careers may be pretty orthogonal to actual product success.

Once when I was working at a place, I had a discussion:

"I think if we use this vendor solution, it's likely to not work very well for our users. I think we have a better chance of meeting our users needs doing it in-house."

"You could very well be right, but if we do it in-house and fail, it'll be our fault, everyone will blame us. Everyone is used to using the vendor for this, it's a decision nobody will blame us for, even if it fails. We're going with the vendor."

In some cases, everyone can in fact have their goals aligned... their goals simply aren't product success.
However, of course, it can cause confusion of the “it fits, but doesn’t work” kind. For instance, a B+M key SATA SSD will not work in some NVMe-only M-key sockets, and some proprietary standards like CNVi throw a wrench into the “any M.2 WiFi card will work with your laptop” concept.

This is what I hate about M.2. If I plug something into a SATA port or USB port I know it's going to work. Why the hell would you bother making a keyed standard where matched-key products don't have to be compatible with one another?
Ahhhhh, all psychology is pseudoscience to you. That makes sense now.

That's completely fair, and I don't want to interact with that at all.

If you need to be convinced that mistreating people is wrong there is no point arguing.

The fact that decades ago something was considered wrong, and since has been accepted, makes it no excuse for it to be considered wrong today.

And no, the morality and understanding of the world should not be pinned to the Anglo-sphere, but the west just happens to be the most progressive in terms of human rights at this moment in history. If Quatar wants to take the lead and ask all other countries to follow, by all means.

OK yeah for a decently skilled software engineer, that's 1 year of free rent in a very nice place in San Francisco. Those not laid off may wish they were.
Based on what I've read (here, reddit, and sadly the cesspool that is Blind) Twitter engineers are lazy and the epitome of the "rest and vest" career path.

So, just software engineers being toxic gatekeepers based on dubious opinions.

I've noticed trying to interview at smaller companies with a big tech company on my resume, I get a lot of weird pushback - like the interviewer is actively trying to discard me just to say they did. (anecdotal - so for what it's worth)

The Robert Caro books about Lyndon B Johnson detail his effort to force meme “LBJ” as a reference to him.

(Mostly in terms of insisting various communications employees use it in press releases and what not).

It seems he liked the iconography of it, especially in putting himself in similar company to FDR.

Both his daughters have the LBJ initials, his wife is mostly known as Lady Bird Johnson (a nickname that predates their relationship, but is not her given name)

I was really into this during my teenage years, inspired by early role playing games. It was super hard to find information living in a small town with a small library before the internet existed. For some beasts I never found out if the beasts were based on myths, taken from fantasy fiction or simply invented by the authors.

Can east asian beasts be included? If so, I would suggest Qilin (Chinese) or Kirin (Japanese) (yes, the one on the beer label).

In my limited experience, most people have a kinda low self awareness, especially in the lower end of the food chain, the higher I go in the chain, the less naive people I meet. Why was he even worrying about a badly planned project? If your job is to code, just do that unless you are getting pay to be worried about the planning, which would be even a higher salary and at most have a very low key conversation about the problems with the superior of your manager, so when he gets fire for performing badly you can have more odds of getting his job.
As ever Redmonk nails it. I agree that lots of well funded and profitable firms are over resourced, and simultaneously not focussed on the core fundamentals. I hope we can all play a part in reallocating talent to the sectors of society that need transformation the most.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this study to rip it apart:

65 patients and NO statistically significant changes???? Both the sham and treated group did better???? But a "post-hoc" analysis said it works great!!!!

What a scam.

https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/epdf/10.5664/jcsm.10338

Results: Both groups demonstrated statistically significant within-person improvement on all measures. While the Active system was generally associated with stronger magnitude of improvement, none of the comparisons of individual measures across conditions reached statistical significance. However, a post hoc analysis excluding participants with low frequency usage demonstrated significantly better improvement in perceived sleep quality with the Active device than Sham.

Throughout the night, Apple Watch sensors monitor body movement and heart rate during sleep. These data are sent to the Nightware server and, using a proprietary algorithm, the device creates a unique sleep profile for the patient. When Nightware detects that a patient is experiencing a nightmare based on its analysis of heart rate and body movement, the device provides vibrations through the Apple Watch while the product is in use.

This device was studied in a 30-day randomized, sham-controlled trial of 70 patients. A sham therapy is an inactive treatment or procedure that is intended to mimic as closely as possible a therapy in a clinical trial. Patients in the sham group wore the device, but no vibratory stimulation was provided. Safety was assessed using validated measurements of suicidality and sleepiness, and there were no changes in either over the course of the study in either group. Sleep was assessed with two versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale, the self-rated questionnaire for assessing sleep quality, including a version of that scale that is intended for patients with PTSD. Both the sham and active groups showed improvement on the sleep scales, with the active group showing greater improvement than sham. The evidence demonstrated the probable benefits outweighed the probable risks.

>One of his tall sculptural works had been exhibited in a faculty dining room. But people kept mistaking it for a hat rack, which frustrated Daly: He assumed that the value of an artwork was self-evident and that it should be able to “speak for itself.”

I'm of a similar view. I see 2 ways to overcome this.

1) Make more accessible art (in extremis, boobs and such)

2) Make more accessible people (massage, drugs...)

But I'm with Norman on this point : posting an explanatory essay on the wall next to the piece is a very wrong turn.

Tanks don't have all that great visibility, soldiers sleep a little in bad conditions, often eat a little + crappy food and are under high stress. Triple so in Russian army by all accounts I read.

Drivers in cars in best conditions fail to notice things, so it is not all that surprising that Russian army soldier would not notice things.

You seem to make the assumption that large contributions should be made within the duration of a PhD program. In my view, a PhD program's goal is to train new researchers. If awesome breakthroughs are generated before the thesis, of course it's a big plus, but not the point... PhD graduates still have several decades of career ahead of them to paint their Gioccondas. The PhD is just to get them started, when they graduate they should be able to fly alone and generate independent research.

There is the problem that research funding (also after the PhD) is associated to projects that only last for a few years, but that seems to be pretty much universal.
Interesting, thanks for sharing that bit of history.

http://www.israelite.info/thebiblestoryfiles/hebrew-celtic-c...

In 1772, General Charles Vallancey, a leading Irish scholar of the day, published his famous work, "Essay On The Antiquity Of The Irish Language, Being A Collation Of The Irish With The Punic (Hebrew) Language." In his opening remarks he states, "On a collation of the Irish with the Celtic, Punic, Phoenician and Hebrew languages, the strongest affinity, (nay a perfect Identity in very many Words) will appear; it may therefore be deemed a Punic-Celtic compound." Vallancey continues, "from the Hebrew proceeded the Phoenician, from the Phoenician, Carthaginian, or Punic was derived the Aeolian, Dorian and Etruscan, and from these was formed the Latin... Of the Roman Saxon capital letters, the Irish use but three, all the others bear a very great resemblance to the primitive Hebrew and Phoenician."

You say whether or not your theory is derived from these things is somehow irrelevant, my apologies then for possibly mistaking one theory for another, I was not familiar with your version.

By all means, cite literally anything, nobody is arguing with you, I'll gladly accept any citation at all.
Nobody thinks a perfect market, or perfect anything is possible. It's just a theoretical concept. None of the imperfections you mentioned can be solved by a state or any other form of coercion.

I think the designers of M.2 weren't powerful enough to force use of a specific signalling standard. Some people wanted a connector for sata, others wanted PCIE, some wanted USB... Nobody wanted to design new protocols or have to use new chips. So we ended up with a standard where both sides can support one, two or three of those...

>I didn't say it had to be a national ID card. A state one would be good enough.

I basically did, and as you were asking me the question I assumed you were asking why some Republicans are opposed to a required free ID. I tacked in a bit about why some Democrats may be opposed to it, but I'm not sure what you're hoping for by attacking my proof that there are people that oppose a required free ID.

Most of my point was that the time needed to get an ID is not a meaningful factor in any party's support of this issue.
It's not that S-expression syntax is superficial better or worse, it's that S-expression syntax acts as a vehicle for linguistic abstraction. What I mean by that is that Lisp lets you seamlessly integrate new constructs into your programming environment that didn't previously exist. Lisp doesn't have a "parallel for-loop"? Well, it's easy to add one in a few lines of code.

That, combined with the unrelenting support for interactive and incremental development, make Lisp at least a novel experience, and hopefully a transformative one.

There was a movement in Silicon Valley a few years ago micro dosing psychedelics. There was a tech CEO who messed up his dose and went to an investor meeting visibly high. They canned him.
I’ve talked to a handful of people who have tried micro dosing and it seems super low key like a mild antidepressant. I imagine micro dosing wont be a problem unless someone screws up a dose. At which point they should be called on it and go home to sleep it off.
Good luck collecting from the exchange that is now out of business.

>It is too distant from common workers

Isn't this the ironic part of the post? The "middle managers" empowered the common workers who were ostensibly in the best position to identify and solve the problem. Yet those common workers seem to interpret their role as just messengers and not wholly owning the situation by also offering alternative solutions. It's not even clear to me that they identified the root problem so that it wouldn't happen elsewhere *

* yes, they said it was performing work that wasn't spec'd. But why were they doing it? Bad requirements management? Bad contract management? Something else?
