Since posting that and other earlier comments I've read up on this matter and particularly on brood parasites both on Wiki and elsewhere and I'm much better informed now (see these debates are actually useful). :-)

The short and overly simplified explanation is that a considerable amount of research has been done over many years and it's deemed useful for various reasons, understanding species longevity, rates of extinction, the evolutionary one-upmanship between the parasites and those who stand to lose by being parasitized and so on. What is clear is that there are many quite logical and reasonable theories about said matters but little actual proof so more research is needed before any definitive conclusions are drawn.

At least on the matter of brood parasites this wiki is a good place to start as it provides a reasonably comprehensive overview (other sites are more specific and some I've only skimmed so I'm not in the position to comment about them): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_parasite.

One thing for certain is that these matters are complex and often there are multiple-threaded explanations (that is different explanations can simultaneously apply to each case without conflict).

Although many large websites and services allow you to request erasure of your data in an automated way, this is not required by GDPR.

GDPR allows individuals to request erasure verbally or in writing, and the data controller than has one month to respond.
Why would you post this and ask for referrals, he's clearly not representing himself the best.
The director for the org I work in says something along those lines after every release cycle. He thanks everyone for working long hours and on burning the midnight oil on weekends, and that’s it. I personally never work long hours or work on weekends and those speeches feel alienating. I think hard during the day, strive to be creative and then go back to my life outside work without donating my free hours to a company that would be just fine without them.

I’ve heard that what we appreciate in people also tells a lot about us and when I hear my director only acknowledge the long hours, I realize that only the long hours are appreciated.

Luckily my immediate management chain knows better and understand the importance of creativity, meaningful output and WLB that I stick around.

I think it helps to start with the assertion that benefits from economic/productivity growth have accrued to owners, not workers, and that a correction is overdue - if you don't agree with that, discussion over working fewer hours feels moot.

Going forward with the idea that workers deserve a bit of a break:

> sounds like it's entirely wishful thinking and in a few years will be having the same amount of wasted hours in those days

I can see that to some extent, but if expectations stay the same I think "trimming the fat" would be a more likely outcome - i.e. more push-back on pointless meetings and other inefficiency. I'd expect it to take a longer time than just a few years for apathy to set in - at which point we would have more data about the effectiveness of the plan over time.

> Are there any actual evidence that that optimum middle ground is 4 days and not 3, or 5?

I think lots of us have anecdata that "meaningful work done" does not drop by 20% (if at all) in a 4-day week, and satisfaction increases substantially. I can imagine a future push to reduce further to 3 days - but isn't that a realistic expectation given further productivity-boosting technology will arrive?
> It isn’t a gotcha to say the Guardian don’t do it, unless you think it’s a gotcha that they reported on the invasion of Ukraine but have not also invaded Ukraine.

From one of their articles on this topic, from June 2022:

"More than 3,300 workers at 70 UK companies, ranging from a local chippy to large financial firms, start working a four-day week from Monday with no loss of pay in the world’s biggest trial of the new working pattern."[0]

"The trial is based on the 100:80:100 model – 100% of pay for 80% of the time, in exchange for a commitment to maintain 100% productivity"

Q: How can you 'maintain 100% productivity' when you're not there 20% of the time?

Like I already said, no actual discussion on how this can [possibly] work in practice at any company. They certainly don't say whether the chippy is going to be closed every Friday when all the previously "full time" staff are having their additional day off...

The issue suits someone's agenda, though, or why would they be pushing it so hard?

There is no requirement to automate GDPR requests.

However all organisations must be able to handle GDPR requests via any communication channel. Eg. They need to treat a data deletion request sent via twitter DM as a valid request if they have an official Twitter presence.

It is insufficient to require the customer fill out a special web form.

I know you're making a joke, but be careful: you are exactly the kind of person a narcissist will latch onto and take advantage of.

> not believing I deserve anything actually led to people treating me badly in the past

People who treat others badly will seek out people with self-esteem issues, because they will come back for abuse again and again. Whereas a person with high self-esteem will not put up with abuse.

Good luck with your self-esteem boost!
Many servers allow their Local Timeline to be browsed by anyone. From the server's home page, click the "Local" button to the top-right. If you find a person or post you want to interact with, simply copy and paste its URL into the search bar of your app or home server.
And before long, someone will make a 'deleted comment finder', which highlights only deleted comments.

Could be especially handy for journalists and law enforcers.
Tools exist to delete comments as well, although I'd prefer if reddit supported it with the deletion request.

Australians work 37.5 hours out of the 24 hours in a day regularly? What an incredible display of work ethic.

On a less sarcastic note off of your typo, in the US and presumably UK, the regular work week is 9-5 M-F which translates into 40 hour work weeks.

Well I mean it worked for me because if I eat sugar I end up consuming something on the order of 4000+ calories per day. Something about carbohydrates makes me absolutely ravenous for sugars.

As usual, cultural diversity is abhorrent to the symbol-minded. A shape which has been drawn by humans around the world since prehistory is effectively banned because a small group of people decided to use it while they did a bunch of nasty stuff.

I don't see anyone trying to ban crosses or raise a fuss about them, and Christians have historically used it as a symbol while perpetrating many horrifying acts. Nobody is trying to ban the flags of any of the other countries which engaged in slavery, genocide, and colonial oppression, and those are at least reasonably unique. Why should this ancient religious symbol be forever tainted?
The concept of Teams are not a an artificial construct. They are part of biology both inside and outside of human biology. Other animals besides humans form teams as well. Professional teams are however artificial. The formalism between separating a personal life from a professional life does not exist anywhere in the animal kingdom and did not exist for most of human history.

>Why is it a requirement to join any team at all, which also happens to be an artificial construct?

It is not a requirement to join a team at all. You can join no team, and that is your choice. Likely though you will want to join a team to survive. In the past humans survived in groups. A human that is not part of a tribe likely had a low chance of survival.

Nowadays you need to join a team to get a salary. But nowadays you have an extra option. You can join something called a "professional" team which is a team that separates your personal life from your "professional" one. However the traditional concept of a "team" still exists and you can choose not to join such a team if choose not to.

I ask though that you have the wisdom to see why the concept of the "traditional team" still exists and why such teams are still effective in our society.

Think about it this way. Team bonding activities still exist. They exist for a reason and that reason is because the company that created that activity WANTS you to join it. The requirement is still there.

It is not unreasonable to see how some teams WANT these traditional bonding activities more then other teams. It all depends on the dynamics and for you to force the team to abide by your dynamics of "professionalism" is wrong. You have options, JOIN the team that works.
I've said this before a time or more: Google is the new yellow pages, and not much more. Sure they could also be considered a UPostalService 2.0
- one that is openly reading your stuff and building data profiles, partially using that data in order to profit -

Part of this is google's fault, from things like expanding rich snippets, expanding shopping results (which as a consumer I like this direction, just wish it was like it was back in the day - less censored)

Part of this is bigger money can pollute the results better than a micro business.

Google will stay an important piece of the internet, people will continue to use it a lot, mainly due to android / maps / gmail.

The value of their search results has not only been on a decline from an end user searching perspective, but as a business owner / content creator as well - google does not send as much traffic to people's sites as they did say pre-panda 1 one days - for many reasons.

This is changing the value of seo, and the value of google for many.

When google gives you the answer for free (rich snippets) with no click - there is less incentive for place X to publish the answers for google to republish.

Google is updated frequently for locations and hours by businesses - and it's main value imho will continue to be for local / brick / mortar / maps / navigation..

for many other subjects in which people actually search for information, I have been witnessing more and more people, including myself, skipping right over google and going straight to youtube / reddit / amazon / hn / fb / etc - the research there often yields deeper fruit that google is not going to show in the first 5 pages / 50 results (plus 15 ads).. if at all.

google continues to censor and people continue to look elsewhere for info. I don't see this changing.

But yeah, the yellow pages aspect, that is still a thing, and has become quite competitive (and more and more gamed sadly)

small data points / opinions I admit.
GDPR and similar laws require action within certain timeframes. If the volume of requests increases, it becomes worthwhile to think about automating timeconsuming parts of those processes.

This is also a problem with seemingly stationary UIs, where a button is only shown when the pointer gets close to it. Especially when that button is within a clickable area, such as a thumbnail image.

The ideal solution to all of these would be for the UI to keep track of drawing events and disable any click that occurs in proximity to a just-redrawn area, and beep instead.

> why all these groups of people decided to start from scratch than to put up with the C++ committee

In which the C++ committee continues to not acknowledge that its problem is being a committee, in the most ridiculously bureaucratic sense of that word.

If the only way to get my contributions accepted into a project involves writing a paper about it, sure, I can do that. If it involves writing a paper about it, and then having endless meetings about it that could have been emails, some of which I have to physically travel to, I can't be bothered. I've left actual paying jobs over that, I'm not doing it for free.

And sure, I'm an individual, and most of the people they're talking about here are representatives of companies. But the effort-to-results ratios still exist, and C++ has managed to tip them to the point that making an entire new language is less effort than proposing a C++ change.

In my experience, usually it is. But you have a point, if it isn't, I don't think it's fair.
To the extent Google Search is always fighting blackhat SEO types, you're right: Google Search has largely been gamed. Always has been. Blackhat SEO gets more advanced over time and it's a loosing battle. Some blackhats are using artificial intelligence techniques to churn out content at scale, often using private tools they keep to themselves for obvious reasons. It's an elaborate game of whack-a-mole and Google are losing.
One user per server is absolutelty fine. Don't fall for the hype telling you that you MUST be part of an existing instance: the Fediverse goes beyond your server.

I think you're right.

It wouldn't surprise me if a certain percentage of every society would be inclined to be this way regardless of the environment. I once read an article in which it was said they believed even in the earliest groups/societies approx 3-4% of people would be inclined to not want to contribute to the group and the rest of the group supported them.

Sounds plausible

The Belt and Road initiative is China’s Marshall Plan for Asia and Africa. I don’t think Americans realize the scale of Chinese money and engineering investment in these countries. It’s a trillion dollar endeavor, six times as large as the Marshall Plan (in today’s money). Like the Marshall Plan, it will help local economies develop. But I suspect it will lead to the same long term dependency and alignment with China that Europe has with America. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing but it’s something to be cognizant of.

VLCDs are very safe, much safer than say all the co-morbidities of obesity. The important thing is to chose the right things to eat for those few calories. It also assumes a sedantary office lifestyle with only minimal exercise. If you work out or run you will need more. With these caveats it is safe and effective and works for obesity, type-2 diabetes and some metabolism problems.

It really is that simple. The first law of thermodynamics doesn't go away so simply. Combine that with the evolutionary preassure that favors those who can save and expend energy and this all makes perfect sense. For example, increased insulin sensitivity on a low calorie diet makes sense evolutionarily. The only drawback is that muscle will be consumed as well. The amount varries by person, diet and exercise but it is minimal with a high protien diet. So say eating 500 kcal of chicken brest everyday and the rest of the calories spilt between carbs and lipids would be a good way to do this diet.

"Crash diets" do work as long as you do it for a few months. People generaly do a few days and then start binging >200 TDEE. Obviously that won't work:

>The active stage is characterized by a very low-calorie diet (600–800 kcal/day), low in carbohydrates (< 50 g daily from vegetables) and lipids (only 10 g of olive oil per day). The amount of high-biological-value proteins ranged between 0.8 and 1.2 g per each Kg of ideal body weight in order to preserve lean mass and to meet the minimal daily body requirements. This stage is further divided in 3 ketogenic phases: in phase 1, the patients eat high-biological-value protein preparations five times a day, along with vegetables with low glycemic index. In phase 2, one of the protein servings is replaced by natural proteins such as meat/egg/fish either at lunch or at dinner. In the phase 3, a second serve of the natural protein low in fat replaced the second serve of biological protein preparation. Being a very low caloric nutritional pattern, it is recommended to supplement patients with micronutrients (vitamins, such as complex B vitamins, vitamin C and E, minerals, including potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium; and omega-3 fatty acids) according to international recommendations. This active stage is kept until the patient loses most of weight loss target, about 80%. Therefore, the ketogenic phases are variable in time depending on the individual and the weight loss target. The active stage generally lasts between 8 and 12 weeks in total.[0]

This is a thing -- particularly in companies that use stack ranking regularly.

If the company stack ranks regularly, this means a couple of things.

1. They have a problem in their hiring process, because why would they need to lay people off?

2. Even if you are new, any group you come into there is going to be a pecking order for promotions, raises, etc.
