Thanks for your perspective. There are lots of people who like to shoot down technologies simply because they're ignorant of all the scenarios that exist. They see only one possible use (e.g. long haul trucking), correctly identify that the technology won't work in that scenario, then proceed to dismiss it entirely because they're unaware of the myriad of other applications.

The problem with these people is that they will go to great lengths to explain to you why your technology won't work in their specific application and feel smug because they think they've cleverly identified a flaw that you didn't think of.
And then you also have Hokkien, Hakka, Teochew. Spending some time in Malaysia and Singapore, you can hear all of these (plus Malay) mixed into a single English-language sentence. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the colonial language migrated back with the Brits.

You have a working finger and can scroll the small amount necessary to do that. More comfortable properly spaced out/laid out UI/UX is generally ideal.

because as the world becomes a more chaotic and unstable place, the price of freedom (which is risk) also increases.

I think that maybe "real ID" has been delayed because USA truly has been the most free country on earth (at the cost of poorer places not near the USA). And this kind of policy diminishes people's freedom. However given the current climate scenario, as well as the current geopolitical looming war.

So that's why it's being pursued, because more chaos, less stability in the system, raises the cost of freedom, and the system has to know whose insurance premiums to raise. You gotta track and measure the people to do this (i.e. to control them).

But your company is willing to accept poor service and as a result spend more money with the same provider to ensure continuity. So essentially you reward Aws hiding their stats. As they can claim high uptime figures and when an outage happens it's the users fault for not spending enough money with them to have many many instances around the availability zones to ensure your covered the Aws mess up. I get it redundancy is needed in systems but lack of proper reporting message users are forced to over spend our of fear. It's a great business model. Hook the clients in with lies and then get them to reward you for hiding facts. Clearly your company has money to burn wasting it like this. Every one knows they lie and are blatant about it why is it tolerated. As I said I don't see other enterprise providers getting away with this kinda behaviour towards clients
Nobody trusts consulting companies, but they are like a notary service. The c suite wants a change, the big 4 will create a deck that supports that with their seal of approval. Then the c-execs can present it to the board and move on with their original plan.

I am usually very agreeable toward arguments of the form "all of Europe does X, so it's ridiculous to assume the US can't too". This is one of the cases where that's not true. ID requirements have been used for centuries in the US to disenfranchise various groups of voters. That's fact. If you know of a specific way to enforce strong ID requirements while somehow changing culture and politics dramatically for a huge swath of people such that this disenfranchisement stops being a problem, by all means, please let us know. Otherwise, your idea will not work.

Usually that doesn't happen because their replies don't conflict within the time interval of a round trip between the two of them, so one can see the other's action first, and decide to agree.

But if it does happen, either they get a new popup, eventually, saying that their conflict-resolution decisions also conflicted and what would they like to do, or the system decays to a CRDT-style pre-determined resolution rule for the second-order conflict -- with similar problems to the original CRDT resolution rule we tried to avoid. Things like "give priority to the person who chose to keep information instead of deleting", "give priority to the person with the biggest random number", "merge them by keeping information along with a note in the document about the attempt to delete the column", or "delete the column and put the edited cell in a note". But this time, only when the users conflict after the first popup, so it doesn't occur as often.

I think you're describing a metastability effect which occurs in all distributed systems that don't use pre-determined resolution rules like pure CRDTs. It happens in network protocols, distributed transactions, and consensus protocols in general. If the process you use to resolve depends on input from multiple parties who don't have a way to communicate and could choose conflicting values, there's a non-zero probability of needing another round or to escalate upwards to a higher-level system to resolve.

In many technical systems, provided there's a way to communicate it's not difficult to make the probability of repeated rounds or escalations tend arbitrarily close to zero (but not actually zero). If there's a possibility of network partition, though, the conflict can come back later when communication returns; there's no way to completely make it go away.

Even worse - dairy farms here had to dump milk due to overproduction because there wasn't enough capacity for milk processing to turn into cream and other products. Something is really broken in dairy supply chain and the production lines here. Cream is still not available in our region and hasn't been for months.

I took a drafting class in middle school- around '83-85. Like, actual physical pencil on paper, with t-square and everything. It wasn't that bad but it was tedious. At the end of the class I noticed a PC (heavy clunkers in those days) in the back of the room and asked the teacher. The teacher offered that I could make an elective course and learn AutoCAD on the machines (which were running DOS). Didn't take long to master, and today I still use those skills in Fusion 360. CAD was an absolutely tremendous tool.

How is having lease terms for my private property in exchange for monthly consideration censorship ?

I am not being antagonistic. I am quite serious.

I myself have built out my own private on premise data center and have no contractual restrictions on what I can do. I’m only limited by US law.

It was expensive . I did it because I didn’t want to be restricted by Ovh etc lease terms .

It’s the same as owning your house vs renting.
PS - as a former McKinsey employee.. Would it be fair to say your view is biased?

Look at your response on the "agile" comment. They feel it was "pure graft" and you defended it without knowing any details?

Now look at the other response on this thread, where someone stated they saw it first hand as well.

Are they in on the "conspiracy theory" as well, or perhaps there is truth to it?

Holy shit mate, do you hear your self? This is literally 13/52 talk.

There is no further tracking. The TSA is already tracking you every time you get on a plane. The government already has the technology, your photo and legally can use the photo they already have of you to use facial recognition.

There are already traffic cams that scan your license plate and are used to track you every time you drive.

There is no expansion

You accomplish nothing by not giving the government your photo again that they already have from both your driver’s license and passport.

They can track you when you drive, when you fly, by your cell phone.
I don’t think its an unpopular opinion, but I think the issue here is that there is a lot of nuance.

Should someone be forced to officiate a same-sex wedding or build a website is different from should that person be forced to rent an apartment to a same sex couple which is different from should a cashier be forced to provide service at the register to a same-sex couple.

The law provides distinction between speech and conduct, and that’s the main topic in this court case. Conduct can’t discriminate, but speech can. Eg. You can say mean things about a certain race, but you can’t refuse them service because if it. So professional services… is that conduct or speech? The Colorado law in question said that business is conduct not speech, and thats really what is at the root of this case. What is the line? Is baking a cake speech? Is building a website? What about being a grocery store cashier?

> Obviously, it gets murky when it comes to innate characteristics like race

What about innate characteristics like sexuality?
That's not true. First of all, as cheese ages all the bacteria (and fungi and yeasts) inside it die out because they run out of food to eat. You see, they're trapped in a solid lump of protein so they have nowhere to go. So they die of hunger. That does make the cheese safe to eat so cases of food poisoning from hard cheeses that tend to age for more than three months, are virtually unheard of.

Second, whether good bacteria will outnumber the "bad" depends on how many of each ... goodness value? there were at the start. If your raw milk is contaminated with sufficiently high numbers of coliform bacteria (E coli and friends) there is no amount of bacterial goodness that can make that milk good for cheesemaking. Most likely you're looking at "early blowing" (literally the cheese blowing up like a rugby ball, with a great big fissure in its center, because of gasses released by bacteria early in its maturation).

Third, some "good" and "bad" bacteria can coexist quite happily with each other simply because they do not consume the same resources and so do not compete for them.

Don't have a fourth one for you.
Any mail client (web, mobile, or desktop) that does NOT display the fully-qualified email address (FQEM) next to the "UTF-8" fancy name gets a hard PASS from me.

online metals is fine, but they aren't cheap, and shipping is a drag. certainly better than nothing.

if you start doing this a lot check local metal suppliers, metal recyclers, and craft shops. decent hardware stores often have a small selection with a large markup. there are 4-5 places within a mile of me where I can get copper sheet. for copper and aluminum sheet there are speciality distributors for roofing that you can get copper and aluminum sheet and roll from.

Unless it was done wilfully, this just perpetuates the American fetish for imprisonment. They should be fired. They should be fined. And they should be deeply investigated, to confirm there wasn’t intent.
> Hailing this as necessary to prevent voter fraud is just as preposterous as the mark-of-the-beast nonsense covered by another child comment.

It's not needed to prevent voter fraud in the US because there is very little voter fraud to prevent. What it could help with is reducing voter suppression.

Several states, claiming that it is necessary to prevent fraud (which they cannot actually find any significant examples of) have instituted voter ID requirements.

In many of these there has been a pretty good correlation between what ID they accept and whether or not the people who tend to vote for the party enacting the ID require are more likely to already have that form of ID than the people who tend to vote for the other party.

These are often accompanied by changes to how IDs are issued that make it significantly harder for many people who vote for the other party to obtain ID. For example, state IDs are often issued by the same department that issues driver's licenses. Some states, citing budget issues, have closed such offices, with the closures hitting hardest is largely minority areas, and reduced hours in the offices remaining open eliminating weekend and evening hours.

This makes it so that for many people in those areas that lost their offices getting an ID means losing a day of work or more, which many of them cannot afford and so have to give up voting.

A Federal ID that is easy to obtain for all citizens, very cheap or free, and that states are required to accept as voter ID could go a long way to helping eligible voters actually be able to vote.
If you have a link for running a small footprint of a caldav/carddav service on my Windows laptop, I'm all ears. I played around using WSL and setting up a NextCloud instance but why do I want to use 2GB+ just to sync?

At the end of the day, I want all my personal events, contacts, todos, and notes on my laptop and able to sync directly with my phone. I'm happy enough with my current bluetooth sync and wouldn't trade it for UI changes.
The thick borders took up valuable screen space and weren’t necessary. They weren’t present prior to Mac OS 8, and they weren’t present after Mac OS 9. You might consider the era of thick borders as a 5-year blip on the timeline from 1997 to 2002.

If anything, modern pointing devices are often less precise. We now commonly use trackpads, touch, and pens. In the 1990s, it was usually the mouse, so you find a lot of 1990s UI elements that are very small. The only reason our modern scrollbars on macOS are so small is because it’s assumed that you can scroll without them, either with a scroll wheel or with a touch gesture.

I’m not sure if the list of contemporary operating systems is particularly illuminative. You might look at Windows ’95, CDE (Solaris), or BeOS and find chunky borders. Or you might look at TWM or Window Maker (OpenStep) and see thin borders. The only conclusion I draw is that everyone agreed that you should have borders.

I firmly believe that there was not another 9/11-style attack because 9/11 didn't do shit of what the bad guys wanted. Simply, it is not cost-effective. I find it very hard to believe that the security theater of the TSA would have any chance of denying well-financed and trained attackers.
Yeah, it probably works against the stupid kind of kidnappers from the '70s ("I want 1 million dollars in non-marked notes, refuel and want to go to Havana, and while we're at it, I want my girlfriend who is in jail because of drug charges, to be released and brought to this plane"), but at what cost?
your comment just establishes a spectrum- on one extreme, you have what is essentially a helpful project manager, on the other extreme you have a worse than useless middle man. I think the point might be that Mckinsey is more towards the bad extreme than people think.

Unfunded government liabilities (pensions, social security, etc) and off-balance sheet derivatives (swaps, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, etc) need more transparency, and the people who keep on blowing up the economy count on you being ignorant to how the market works when they do blow it up, so they keep getting record bonuses.

Fun fact - the notional value of the OTC derivatives market is estimated to be $1 Quadrillion. [1] That is a stupendous number, and there is some debate about that number bc no one knows the true value, bc (again) the lack of transparency.

Designing Ecosystems of Intelligence from First Principles
A lot of times, there's much more going on in interviews than assessing technical competence. Some of the things interviewers might be looking for include the ability to communicate, ability to translate technical information into something other people can understand, how the candidate reacts under pressure, their thinking process, how they go about solving problems, their composure during the pay/benefit negotiating process, and more. It's incredibly disruptive and expensive to hire a bad candidate and increasingly common to encounter companies with a "no jerks" policy, regardless of how smart someone is.

> Open Source as a Destroyer of Market Value

New personal mission statement: destroy as much market value as possible.
I know I'm late to replying to this, and I don't want to comment on the rest of the post, but this is blatantly false:

> And because the actual academics- the individuals teaching- do not in practice make any difference whatsoever (eg US News rankings depend on student SATs, not staff PhDs), they are increasingly devalued in the equation.

Have a look at how the US News ranking is calculated here (SAT scores are only 7%): https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/how-...

Many of those components directly depend on academic merits, e.g. the peer reputation.

Many other rankings (especially international ones) have a large portion of the index based on research, for example having a nobel prize winner increases your score quite dramatically. There are reasons why the ivy league schools + MIT, Cambridge, Oxford ... are at the top of international rankings, and it's not the quality of the housing.
Mass spamming is the very raison d'etre for social network companies. It goes by different names though - "sponsored content", "fanpages", "influencers", etc.

The money is real at some companies. We’re less than 100 people with more than 200m in yearly revenue. Market positioning is worth more than engineering excellence, but paying top salaries to reduce the execution risk is worth it.

I would expect the leetcoding and system design interviews across the industry to get much tougher and juniors to get squeezed out before top salaries drop.

Software has very high leverage in the right markets. It’s comparable to pro euro football where the teams that already have eyeballs will pay huge sums for top players in order to keep the eyeballs. Software salaries will only become more bimodal as VC money tightens.
There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. As far as I can tell, the injunction has nothing to do with unionization activities, but pertains to covid working condition protest.

While us labor law does protect unionization efforts, it also protects other forms of worker protest outside of the scope of unionization.

Additionally, it is an injunction. This is by definition a order to stop doing something prior to the completion of the complete court case. The final Court decision could come with penalties, or even be decided in Amazon's favor
