This type of thinking is how we get ants. Ants Lana. Ants.

There are real humans in the loop here. They can easily put their foot down and find another job if they get fired. These are not people at the edge of feeding their families. These are people that buy 94 octane gas at the Sunoco fuel pump for their stupid sports car.

If people don't make moral decisions in their day to day lives the world gets worse. It may not seem like the millions of dollars belong to anyone but they do. Pensioners or millionaires or even just normal folks that grasp their tiny share of the pool via their ESOP.

When people just throw resources and good will under the bus in the name of career advancement they're visibly hurting the world. Each single dollar could have been spent on refugees, climate change, or war relief.

I am very sick of this cavalier attitude by the tech elite.

This. You should read up about how recaptcha worked in the early days to do 'authority of the masses'. (I don't know any particular sources, maybe these methods are properly defined now in some framework.)
So basically they are converting the old verified to « official » and they are selling a new blue check mark for 8$.

It doesn't matter whose responsibility coming up with a solution is. If it isn't you but you have one and they don't, then go ahead and step on their toes -- be diplomatic and kind, but go ahead, because a) you'll be saving the firm's bacon, b) you'll be saving the customer's too, c) you'll be making your career.

In TFA's case I suspect there really was no solution short of sinking a pile more cash into the project, and that was probably not an option. Though, who besides TFA knows, TFA gave us too little detail to be able to tell.

So, they changed the blue check mark to be meaningless, then reinvented it under a new name days later?

> I think those who object to "resource" are adding some connotation to the word that does not need to be there.

I think it’s in the meaning of the word plain and simple: it implies a level of control. I think it’s fine if you have that control. But if you don’t then you’re abusing both the word and those of your coworkers that dislike it.

I think it’s also detrimental to the business. In my experience it’s not the average joe or low performer that takes offense.

Your statement is structurally equivalent to saying "People have always said that new media formats are ruining the youth, and they haven't [ed. note: debatable], therefore it's impossible for a new media format to ruin the youth."

I think it's worth thinking about ways in which new media formats are or are not different from old ones, and how that might offer new ways to ruin the youth. For example, comic books cost money, so you're naturally limited in how many you can buy. 1940s through 2000s - era TV/video games require you to be in front of a TV, vs having a handheld device which is accessible 24/7 regardless of where you are.

> What emerged from this exercise is that social class, education, gender and athletic ability were less important for leadership than the capacity for an individual to attend to others in the group.

So, not actually leaderless teams, but a self-organizing structure from which emerged a role that is easily mapped to leadership, though not called that by name?

That we incorrectly define leadership, and attach a lot of ideas to it that have nothing to do with leadership itself, should be obvious to anybody who has worked inside a badly run organization. And it's a trivial observation that doesn't get us any closer to forming better teams.

I used to think I wanted to work in a completely flat organization, with nobody who thought they could boss me around. Having done that, I now realize what I actually want is someone who is good at being the boss, and isn't a prick about it. I want somebody to have a synoptic view of what's going on, keep all the parts running smoothly, and act as a shield against all the various distractions coming from outside the team or the company, so I can do my job well. Such people are multipliers for effectiveness and happiness on teams.

What you usually get is someone who has no particular skill in these areas, but likes to have authority, and likes making more money.

I sometimes wonder if the problem isn't that there are only a few actually good leaders in the world, but we need to act like there are 10x or 100x more than that in order for our economy to run. Every once in a while you meet a great one, but the majority of "leaders", from the C level to the PM level, should really be doing something else instead.

How do you solve that problem?
Alternatively, if you’re not fit for work, then don’t be at work?

I mean, at what point is it over the line to be useless at a job you’ve agreed to do, and that you demonstrated competence for and interviewed for?

Many times I’ve said things like “just restart the cronjob for this” or “just tag this issue to so-and-so if you can’t get it, they wrote the original” etc.

I’m all for taking care of yourself, but if you can’t handle the literal word “just” then maybe there’s bigger issues riding on your shoulders than my vocabulary.

These types of article are alienating to me, a bit. I’ve lead teams in government sector contracts, private mil, *-int, and many different analytical capacities and I’ve never heard someone criticize me for saying “just restart rstudio” or “just put a cache in and tag the issue to me for later”.

Truly bizarre. I don’t think the youth are this soft. The young folks I work with, granted are graduate age and older for the most part, are often very cordial and respectful and slick. Occasionally I see some hangovers, some sick calls, some romance drama, the usual bullshit, but never anything as microscopic as this.

There is nothing bad with riding a good bull run. Ponzenomics is the issue here (imho) where we have to come to realize that there is no liquidity in many crypto currencies because there is not need to actually trade them. And projects that provide real yield (i.e., use an existing currency as their main currency of operations) fail to get traction because they don't provide the Ponzenomics scheme to their users.

Are you really not aware that members of the American radical left, in particular those who identify as Marxist, are sympathetic to other Marxist nations, such as Soviet Russia, Cuba, and Maoist China?

> Angela Yvonne Davis (born January 26, 1944) is an American political activist, philosopher, academic, scholar, and author. She is a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. A feminist and a Marxist, Davis was a longtime member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and is a founding member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS). She is the author of more than ten books on class, gender, race, and the U.S. prison system.

> After her acquittal, Davis went on an international speaking tour in 1972 and the tour included Cuba, where she had previously been received by Fidel Castro in 1969 as a member of a Communist Party delegation.[46] Robert F. Williams, Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael had also visited Cuba, and Assata Shakur later moved there after escaping from a US prison. Her reception by Afro-Cubans at a mass rally was so enthusiastic that she was reportedly barely able to speak.[47] Davis perceived Cuba as a racism-free country, which led her to believe that "only under socialism could the fight against racism be successfully executed." When she returned to the United States, her socialist leanings increasingly influenced her understanding of race struggles.[48] In 1974, she attended the Second Congress of the Federation of Cuban Women.[46]

> In 1971, the CIA estimated that five percent of Soviet propaganda efforts were directed towards the Angela Davis campaign.[49] In August 1972, Davis visited the USSR at the invitation of the Central Committee, and received an honorary doctorate from Moscow State University.[50]

> On May 1, 1979, she was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize from the Soviet Union.[51] She visited Moscow later that month to accept the prize, where she praised "the glorious name" of Lenin and the "great October Revolution".

There was something like this going around in ~2008, it was a plugin bar that turned the internet into a game, you could leave mines and portals on websites that would take you to other websites, so people could add their own hyperlink layer on top of the internet.

I wish I could remember the name of it, I played with it for a few weeks but then they put up a paywall.

That spirit of communal being-on-the-internet I only saw breifly recaptured again by the Beaker Browser, which unfortuantely seems also to be going the way of all things. There you could fork and remix any website you were on, could in principle afford a much more mucking-in stle of what you are trying to do here.

I think this could be great! Keep at it!
I just stumbled upon this game and I'm having a blast playing it. I used to love coding assembly on old CPUS with limited resources. This game absolutely scratches that same itch.

Do note that the existing name in the CS literature for algorithms that can cheaply provide an "updated" result given a change in the input is dynamic, not differential. "Differential" actually refers to something else altogether, namely being able to automatically compute the gradient of some general calculation on continuous-valued inputs! (The intersection of differential and dynamic problems, where the point is to recompute answers quickly when some continuous-valued input changes, is called "kinetic".)

"Incremental" is actually a special case of dynamic, where all updates are restricted to 'adding' input data only. (Thus "incremental" algorithms, properly understood, are closely related to "online" algorithms, e.g. those which process input data in a streaming fashion as opposed to assuming a "complete" input to begin with.)

Artificially inducing and propping up an economy with cheap cash led to this. Now we have no choice. Inflation hurts the poor just as much as this does.
> No, they are blocking the next lane. Lanes are sized to hold a single automobile. Half of an automobile will clearly block another automobile from filling that space. This is not lane-splitting.

According to the Wikipedia article you cited about lane splitting, they define it as:

>> Lane splitting is riding a bicycle or motorcycle between lanes or rows of slow moving or stopped traffic moving in the same direction.

A cyclist riding close to the edge of the lane and a motorist in the adjacent lanes form 2 lanes or rows of traffic. Another motorist attempting to go between those two lanes or rows of traffic is lane splitting because their vehicle is between two lanes of traffic. Whether or not they partially block the lane as they pass doesn't change the fact that that's what it is. Both a motorcyclist and a pedalcyclist are wider than their tire width, so they are partially in both lanes when lane splitting, and they would block both lanes if they're attempting to go between two tractor-trailers for example.

> Legally speaking, at least in FL, you don't even have to fully move over to a passing lane when passing a bicycle, you simply need to ensure 3ft of clearance.

Traffic law pertaining to passing, what side of the road to drive on, and where to position one's vehicle when preparing for a turn were written for roads that don't have marked lanes for traffic. There also another law[1] that lists additional requirements for drivers on roads with marked lanes for traffic. One of those requirements is to remain as nearly as practicable within a single lane. Straddling the lane line while passing does not meet that requirement. So while the minimum safe distance/3 ft distance requirement applies on roads without marked lanes, it does not supercede the requirement to keep one's vehicle within a single lane. So, unless it's possible to leave 3 feet of distance between one's vehicle and a cyclist while remaining entirely within the same lane, one has to change lanes to pass in order to comply with the single lane requirement imposed by 316.089.

> It is equally difficult to source ideas for the curriculum. Many classic amateur chemistry books are out of print, and there is little incentive to publish more.

So then! My place of work, the Science History Institute, has a number of old amateur chemistry experiment books digitized online and freely accessible. My job includes developing and managing the web site/app we use to manage our digitized content and present it to you!

Let's see if I wind up giving our site the kiss of death, which will be embarrassing for me, it's usually pretty solid, but, it doesn't usually get much traffic and doesn't yet have a lot of defenses against it, this is a small non-profit operation. :( But I can't resist sharing this very relevant content!

Most of these are booklets which accompanied particular chemistry sets. (Also should probably say conduct at your own risk?).

The author mentions cyanotypes and salt printing. Photography is what got me interested in chemistry as a kid. Understanding how film, paper, light, and chemicals all interacted was a lot of fun. Even figuring out how to make your prints last (proper clearing, toning, and washing etc.) involved understanding chemistry at a basic level. Most of the at home chemistry experiments they list are one and done. I’d be surprised if any of them inspired a kid to dig more.

I will say that starting in the 90s doing your own photo related chemical work could get you in trouble. If you trawl through the old usenet photo groups you’ll find stories of people being hassled by cops for owning scales and glassware. I’m sure it’s worse now.

Crypto had been interesting experiment. My take away is that there cannot be decentralized currency or finance. Dectralization does not prevent bad actors. Someone with an army and authority must be there to punish bad actors and keep them in check or otherwise they are out to con you. The argument that people just need to be smart to not get dupped does not work.
Russia does, indeed, have many issues wrt tank/infantry comms. Not even because they get jammed, but rather because they often don't have working comms at all, or because tank and infantry radios use incompatible frequencies or digital encoding. Much of the army's communication gear is from 1970-80s, poorly maintained, and often without spare parts to repair it if it's not working. In theory, there were new gadgets adopted into service that should have fixed it... but, as with many other things, there are too few of them, and the ones that are there have teething problems.

There's a guy who has been fighting on the Russian separatist side since 2014, who is responsible for comms and drones in his unit. He regularly makes long-winded posts about the specific issues that they face, and he had posted about tank/infantry comms several times, even before the all-out war:
