It's interesting to see the discussion unfold.

I used to do a lot of logo design, some for the replacement of time-honored logos even. Spicy jobs those were, both on pro and con sides!

One thing I learned was that new, individual, and fresh leadership psychology often brings new logos into being. Differentials in psychology can't help but expose new perspectives on organizational concepts. And that's what a logo is, a conceptual organization pointing to a new or updated organizational concept! :-)

Some of those fresh perspectives are normal elsewhere, but have been ignored in a given organization for so long that they seem prophetic when a leader considers them. And so sometimes even the doomed new logos I saw developed were like prophets sent from on high. They might not have been well-loved, they might not have lasted 5 years, but they meant something, and it was often a big something.

In my experience, when the new Director of Whatever deemed that the amazing old woodcut logo had to go, it wasn't usually that this individual hated history and tradition. It was their expression of an obvious need for a new concept.

To the outside world, the need for radical change is not always as obvious as it is to even just a small set of insiders, people who have developed what you might call "woodcut PTSD," along with some damn good ideas for how the org needs to change, and soon.

So, to me--no opinion on the graphical look, since it's often a red herring in a bunch of ways. But some big "!" interest in the individuals and perspectives behind the scenes, due to the nature of the change.

(Also, seeing people redesigning the new logo to much applause is kind of a cringe. Again a big risk here is that they are unwittingly reconnecting a really unhealthy feedback loop, based on assumptions from an outsider's perspective/demand on the organization.)
> I'm excited to see what new companies are going to form in the next few years now that it's a tiny bit more difficult for the big tech companies to suck up all the oxygen in the room

Here's hoping. Although it's market dynamics at work, I often wish that software developers (myself included) and related were paid a little bit more sensibly, so that other industries could afford to hire software developers and that smaller scale software became more viable.

I think there are plenty of companies that don't necessarily need to be "eaten by software", they could just do some cool stuff if only it were affordable to hire a developer. I mean bespoke programs that help the company do stuff. Make people's lives better kind of stuff, rather than making bucket loads of cash kind of stuff. It's also a really fun role, it has the fun of bespoke automation and problem solving while also being part of the community you live in. Those kinds of opportunities just don't exist now because no company would expect to afford a software developer.

I have a hard time articulating what I mean usually, I'm not a tech bubble hater, I just see opportunities elsewhere going unfulfilled because it wouldn't make the bucket loads of cash needed to pay for the developers at current market rates.
And I find it hysterical that the 10 year Bond dropped 4% because of this. They think this is the peak, as in the Fed will stop raising interest rates and inflation will only get lower from here.

A good time to but the 10 year Bond IMHO.
This is a sign of an insecure leader. Entire companies have launched and run remote and succeeded. Twitter has less need for on-site work than most companies.
Yes but what difference exactly plays a role for the copyright question? And why?
Interesting article, but the lack of mention of 'patent' or 'intellectual property' sort of stands out. There may be many out-of-patent drugs that are effective treatments for various conditions, but typically clinical trials for alternative uses of out-of-patent drugs are not pursued as anyone could then manufacture and sell them.

This is not new - it dates back to the origins of the modern for-profit pharmaceutical industry, such as with Bayer's discovery of the anti-bacterial action of sulfanilimide (patented 1909) in the early 1930s (by which time patent had expired). Bayer made a derivative of sulfanilimide, i.e. Prontosil (patented in 1932) and tried to convince the world that this was the more effective product. In reality, it just broke down to sulfanilimide once ingested, that being the active species.

As far as clinical trials in the USA, there have been numerous scandals regarding lack of consent, failure to halt trials immediately on indication of severe side effects, etc. Major stories about this came out in 2005, 2008, etc. Then there's the world of unregulated third-world clincal trial testing, and actual falsification of clinical trial data by contractors hired to run trials for various Big Pharma outfits, such as this from 2022.

That's just organized crime 101: hire a contractor to do the dirty work, keep your own hands clean, claim ignorance, act shocked, promise reforms, etc.

Best solution I've heard of is a move to open-source (patent-free) drug discovery with federally financed clinical trials. Since almost all new drugs are discovered at universities with federal funds (see remdecivir, mRNA vaccines, etc.), before being exclusively licensed to private interests, the quickest way to that is to revoke Bayh-Dole and state that universities must non-exclusively license their discoveries to any parties for a flat fee.
They have a 180 day review commitment. A 30 day delay on their side would be unusual and burn a big chunk of that clock.
I’m in camp if they give you the option you have to assume the person in front will fully recline. No point in getting mad over it. If you want or need more space just get the premium seats if it means that much to you.
Maybe we should quit making studies that start on broad assumptions.

Not making assumptions is the entire point of science, after all.

Not once in the article do they consider that some men simply don't want to get married. It's absurd.

Here's the worst part of the article:

> Without jobs that can be lost or wives and children who could suffer, young, unmarried, unemployed men are poised to cause or be recruited to cause social and political trouble, Basu said. On the other hand, she said, “young women getting more educated and marrying later may yet turn out to be the harbingers of the modernization and social change in the country that seems to be otherwise slow in coming.

So men who aren't getting married are a threat to society, and women who aren't getting married are the "harbingers of...social change". How pathetic.
Time matters too.

If I'm confident I can get $1000 for 1000 UDST but it will take on average a month, well, do you know what else is worth $1000 in a month? $996 at 5% APR. So 1 USDT == $0.996

Obviously paramedics are registered and obviously not everybody is cut out for it. That should go without saying. There are grades of paramedic and I think most firefighting paramedics are likely not the most specialized of all of them, but I feel confident in asserting that nearly any paramedic firefighter in America is qualified to monitor patients in the waiting room of a hospital.

As for the rest, I have a lot of gripes with the American system of healthcare, but the quality of first responders is not among them. If I ever have a heart attack while driving and crash into a tree, I'll be very happy if the volunteer firefighter who cuts me out of my car is also a paramedic. My complaints about the American system will be reserved for the private for-profit doctors they bring me to.
What creates this imbalance? Don't more men die from accidents, and there's a slightly lower (like 0.5%) number of male people born? Is there some part of the country with far more women?

Thanks! This should do the trick.
You're building up a strawman and then knocking out down. Obviously people perform differently depending on what things they have to overcome, and people also have good and bad days. For the purposes of my argument, it didn't matter why differences exist, it just matters that there are differences.

Real estate is inflated. Stocks are too, but seems less so than property, at least in Australia.

Traditional flight to safety like gold has significant gains last few years so are you buying another peak?

Meanwhile you know cash is devaluing 5-10% per year.

For my non-expert opinion I think Australia shares are fairly good relatively currently, but I say that as an Australian. Its reasonably valued compared to some of the markets, stable govt/economy with low govt debt as western nations go (consumer is high though). Shares will probably return dividends around 3-5% per year on a market tracking ETF, which should offset some drops while the market and inflation, and then you are in market for the turn as as the cycle flips and inflation has run I could see some sharp gains as companies revalue to the new cost bases.

Also I think a FSTE tracker wouldn't be so bad. Since Ukraine and general market drops these are off their peak pricing. US Id avoid as I think there's a bunch more to unwind both in the market, politically, plus govt debt (heading for 140% of GDP and showing no signs of slowing) so I would be hesitant market tracking there until things stabilise. That said there will always be amazing companies ongoing in the US if stock picking.

Im so far from an expert, so take all this with a shovel of salt. Keep things diverse. But overall I think a Aus/Eur market type tracker is probably a reasonably safe bet at the moment for a uncertain and unprecedented enviroment, and take the odd punt on companies that you think are getting trashed and fear has over taken. Keep some level of cash as if the markets do tumble you want to be able to go in, or generally have options.

I know nothing. Good luck.

When I use curl, it's mostly when I need to check header or to trace requests in the network, for which I just use -vvv. Simple one-off stuff.

So I wonder how much demand there actually is for advanced features like this.
When I need to make POST requests with queries and data, I would just use python because I most likely need to process the response (parse html, store json output to database, etc.).

Adding advanced features are nice, but IMO this might lead to over-engineering and it might be hard to maintain down the line.
I feel like such a huge part of the cost in a car is completely upfront and if these "low car" people calculated how much they are spending per km driven, they would have a stroke and sell the car.
Closing the door to people that are drive-by posters who cannot be bothered to fork over three dollars can only result in better inputs. The issue with open source tip jars isn't that they're expensive, it's the psychological barrier in front of giving anything at all. That's the subject of TFA and Fody's model is the only real way to circumvent it. Ninety percent of people who submit issues are people who are invested in continuing to use Fody and so should be patrons, and the remainder of the issues are unlikely to be high on the signal-to-noise ratio.
Firefighters yes, paramedics, no...

It's not uncommon for the firefighter/paramedic on the engine who shows up and treats the patient for a few minutes before the ambulance arrives to be making _significantly_ more than the paramedic on the ambulance they hand care over to.

Outside of unionized, municipal departments, paramedic pay in the US is generally pretty abysmal (and well below that of nurses).

I'd say even adding money won't decrease the homogenization of modern day building design; instead it usually just results in a higher quantity of the same, ala the McMansion.

If you check Coke's financial statements, you'll see that although revenue has risen quickly, cost of revenue has risen about as fast, leading to relatively unchanged gross profit margins (36% so far in 2022, compared with 40%+ in every year from 1985-2014 and between 33%-39% from 2015 to 2021). Word from industry press is that the rising price of aluminum has been a major driver of the increased costs.

I don't know why pricing for the generic brands wouldn't increase as much. Perhaps some stores see the large price increase in branded soft drinks as an opportunity to get people to shift to the store brands and are willing to tolerate lower profit margins to see if that strategy pays off.
Access to abortion creates the imbalance. Indian women are much more likely to terminate pregnancy when they are expecting a girl.
People really underestimate the full scale of this, specially today with so many sites using cloudflare without strict ssl reverse proxy connection, Cloudflare Endpoints in India are INSIDE ISP networks [1], what this means is the ISP (and therefore by extension the government) sees EVERYTHING going out of cloudflare servers over http in plaintext. Worse ISP will also modify that content so you get the "This site has been blocked in India under diretions from [...]" over https! cause that's what cloudflare saw when it did it's (insecure) http request

Musk father did an investment in a emerald mine in Zambia, not in Apartheid South Africa and not with Slave labor. And they certainty were not billionaires from it.

The only source for this is one interview with Musk father, there is no independent verification of any of this.

Musk family was wealthy because his father was an successful engineer not because they were Apartheid slave labor blood emerald mine kings.

But that sound a lot less interesting.

Ah right maybe we in the UK only use the word 'paramedic' to mean the most specialised, advanced trauma life-support level and you use it more broadly. I'm sure all police and firefighters here do get advanced first-aid training.

I think a big part of it is cultural. Java is a great language with tons of supporting frameworks, build systems, etc. But it's mostly geared towards larger enterprise companies. For a startup that is trying to be quick and nimble to get started, it doesn't attract the right type of talent or workflows. It can definitely be used for a startup and some do, but the hacker-y startup devs tends to lean towards other solutions.
The way CPI is calculated is complex, but they do try to account for substitution and quality changes: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/common-misconceptions-abo...

There are a few more co-founders:

I want to provide details of our early history because they are not well-known. There were two bootstrapped entities, one in the US and one in India back in 1995. In the suburb of East Tambaram in Chennai, India, my brothers Kumar Vembu (now founder and CEO of GoFrugal and also active in Zoho Corp) and Sekar Vembu (now founder and CEO of Vembu Technologies) and Shailesh Kumar (who heads our Engineering and Zoho Labs today) started a bootstrapped operation at home. Kumar returned from the US after a very brief 1-year stint, and found some contract software development work in the field of telecom software and that was how he paid the bills.

In the US, our co-founder Tony Thomas, who I talk to almost daily to seek his wisdom, my personal daily Buddha, started a bedroom operation in New Jersey in 1995, and he brought in our co-founder Sreenivas Kanumuru (CEO of vTiger). Tony’s elder brother Joy Thomas, who recently passed away (RIP, Joy) and one of the all-time great students from IIT Chennai, helped Tony with a personal loan. Tony had started to work on a library for the SNMP API protocol in Java.

As of late 1995, I was not in the picture, other than advising my brothers. A common friend from IIT introduced me to Tony (who was 3 years ahead of me in IIT and I did not know him during my student days). I then introduced Tony to my brothers in India. They started working together in mid to late 1996.
