> Such unimaginable waste driving around to every single home needing delivery.

I think this is a very reasonable thing to say. It's such a decadent thing to get all your stuff delivered to your door especially given how much stuff many of us get these days. It's so inefficient compared to shipping to a central location (where possible) like a post office or a grocery store and picking it up next time you're there anywhere.

As someone maintaining a moderately complex codebase in Python: static typing doesn't feel valuable until you need it. But then you really, really need it. Thank god for Mypy and type-hints.

I'd prefer something that can infer types in the simple case and have explicit types when dealing with huge complexity. Really, it comes down to having tight control around the shapes of your data, and that is incredibly valuable when you cannot keep the entire codebase/API/contract in your head. Quick navigation is a huge bonus too.
That is what was doing it, but I didn't set it to do that. It was on by default when it was first released. Since then, the world realized how insane that was and major distros now turn it off for you.

No.... Absolutely no...

NAT is absolutely not in any way a substitute for an actual firewall, despite the side effect of 'blocking' ports.

And how is "You have to think about which ports you want the NAT gateway to forward." any different from thinking about firewall rules?

And most consumer CPE devices (i.e. 'router' etc) are perfectly capable of running a firewall, and often do.

And any firewall that doesn't drop inbound traffic by default is not really much use at all.

And lastly, if you want you can still do NAT66 if you really must, or IPv6 network prefix translation, which is a slightly improved version.
Good is multi-axis measure.

I have been to 'good' restaurants. Excellent food, immaculate plating, perfect service. Immense cost.

This is why I'm heavily discounting your opinion here, because there seems to be a massive amount of axises that are being neglected that make these products 'good'.

Energy use per product, general product acceptance to the massive to lower per unit cost, product fungibility are all metrics that can subtract from both subjective and in some cases objective beauty. You could have the most objectively beautiful object in the world, but if I can't have it because it's too difficult to manufacture in bulk or too expensive, then subjectively I think your product isn't that great at all.

I had heard of all those stories, but they're not convincing to me. Having worked in tech companies similar to Apple for most of my career, slowing the phones down to preserve battery life seems like a more likely explanation than the intentional consumer harm theory. I can see how a court that doesn't know any better or folks on the internet who get a lot of utility from hating apple would lean the other way though.

In any case, even stronger evidence that this particular case was one of planned obsolescence doesn't support the assertion that Apple have "perfected planned obsolescence" which is the phrase I was originally contending.
> If you believe that IOUs by definition aren't valuable, then stay away from treasury bonds.

IOUs are like a lottery. Treasury bonds, OOM call options, they all aren't valuable on their own, there's just a chance I might win. In the case of treasury bonds, that chance is more like 99.99%, in the case of the call options, it might be 20%, but it's a spectrum, and never 100%.

At the end of the day, my landlord isn't going to take a treasury bond for my rent payment, and neither is my supermarket. IOUs are not the same as hard cash.
Wouldn’t it give us way more than that? If it were traveling at 100% the speed of light it would take 8 billion years right?

Sounds like he asked some mildly probing questions that challenged the patient's self-beliefs, and Pink News have decided to spin this as being "conversion therapy".

Indeed, it's quite telling that the GMC, who have condemned actual conversion therapy, didn't accept the complaint against Dr Hakeem: https://sex-matters.org/posts/healthcare/conversion-therapy-....

Note also that Pink News' general editorial stance is that unconditional affirmation is the only valid approach, so it's not much surprise they jumped on this story.

I would still recommend giving that podcast a listen, it gives a much richer insight into Dr Hakeem's work than that article.
That doesn't make it any less bogus.

Yes, if you are assuming the jet was emitted right now. But the jet was emitted roughly 8.5 billion years ago. The light in front of the jet has already reached us. If the jet were also travelling at the speed of light we'd be dead right now. But luckily it's travelling slower than light so that's why we have 850k more years before the jet reaches us.

It’s not true though. I’ve been through a few boom bust cycles. In fact I’ve been caught twice in the same cycle.

Now I tell people that it’s better off to be in the first round. First, no survivor’s guilt for you. Also the company still has money to match the guilt they feel for you. I’ve only ever felt “taken care of” in first round layoffs, and most of the people I talk to during those times feel the same. In fact my stance on this is borrowed from several peers who had a much more philosophical perspective on their being laid off than I did about them being laid off. How can you be so calm when I’m freaking out? A decent severance definitely helps, and the prospect of not being stuck fire fighting while short staffed certainly doesn’t hurt.

Condor Software | Engineering Manager, Technical Leads, Senior Software Engineers | US Remote, SF Bay Area, Boston, New York, San Diego | Full-Time | CondorSoftware.com

Interested in building software that makes a meaningful impact on end users and a big impact on medicine?

We’re currently hiring for Engineering Manager (https://bit.ly/condor-tl-22) and Technical Lead Software Engineer (https://bit.ly/condor-em-22) roles at Condor.

We have more customer demand and we can currently support, recently raised a large seed round from top institutions, biotech hedge funds, and Big 4 leaders, and are growing our team of “good humans” and former founders from startups, big tech, Big 4, and other experiences.

We're looking for more product-leaning software engineers interested in tackling a big, hairy, complex business domain, value building "code that is easy to delete," and geek out about going "six levels down."

Condor is building a world where finance accelerates human progress in medicine.

Our mission is to help biotech finance teams save time, money, and lives by bringing more cutting-edge therapies to market, faster and more affordably.

We started Condor because we realized that the life-saving treatments needed by our loved ones were held back by billions of dollars in complicated, time-consuming, and inefficient financial processes, which consistently delay clinical trial deployment and growth.

It's exactly like Reddit power mods, or that one guy that edits half of wikipedia or whatever the statistic is. It's pathetic to some people, sure, but if it isn't hurting anyone and the person chooses that life, not simply falls into it for lack of options, what's the harm?

It's power in a place they are comfortable with. The issue is when that impacts actual human relationships, or is turned for purposes that are (for lack of a better way to quantify it) bad.

Power mods using their influence to make sure the subreddits follow the individual sub rules, and ensuring that nothing nefarious slips into the general consciousness- it gives that person a sense of worth and meaning. Great!

Power mods using their influence to sell products, market products surreptitiously, squash stories they don't personally agree with, or otherwise abuse said power - bad bad bad. Not Great!

> My closest dropoff point is a 40 minute drive each way.

Obviously it's different for you but I'd argue this is not the case for the majority of people. Also I'd say maybe we don't have to rush there as soon as the package arrives. Why not pick it up next time we're there anyway? Let's go one step further, why buy so much shit in the first place. It all comes down to the fact that we've taken on a lifestyle that's extremely convenient and luxurious but doesn't seem to be very sustainable.
The question isn't where, but how.
Please, draw a circle.
This is an interesting point. I believe the example provided might offer additional insight if rephrased.

Does the producer create music or simply refine it? Does the answer change when the recording artist is also the producer? What if the artist is not the producer or composer?
As I understand it (based entirely on pop sci books and articles) they're purely from the accretion disk i.e. nothing inside the event horizon. I don't think the exact mechanism is agreed upon beyond that.
Why? I don't understand what you're getting at.
I don't think this correct. My understanding is that COBRA is a federal act to allow former employees (who meet certain conditions) to keep the same healthcare plan they had under their former employer. This is important because it preserves the amounts paid into the deductible, as well as the coverage.

COBRA, as far as I understand, is not offered by the employer. It is a federal safety net. The employer has no monetary obligation whatsoever, besides those ruled by contract and conscience, to give the departed employee anything. Zero, zip, zilch. They are only obligated to pay out for work performed and anything required by contract, such as unused PTO. Again, that's it.

At least in my state, the only other obligation is the employer must submit to another agency to handle COBRA (should you elect) within 30 days and that agency has 14 days to contact you.

Reading between the lines, this has at least one serious flaw. Suppose you're let go on the 15th of the month and your former employer chooses to not continue your coverage. You then only have coverage until the end of the month. That's approximately 15 days. However, because the employer isn't obligated to submit to the third party for 30 days and they're not obligated to submit paperwork to you for another 14 days, it's potentially 34 days before someone contacts you about setting up continued coverage, or 19 days after your coverage ended. If the former employer doesn't provide you the name or contact info for the third part, you have to cold-call potential agencies in hopes that 1) they're the agency handling you and 2) the employer has submitted to them so that they know point 1. Good luck, hope nothing bad happens to you while you figure this out!

I mention this because your post suggested that employers were required to do more. As far as I know, they're not. It's my contention (and experience) that, because companies tend to be tight fisted and short sighted, it has high probably for them to do only the minimum and to force former employees into the nightmare scenario.

COBRA is also hella expensive. For one individual, expect to pay $450-500. For a couple, at least $1000. PER MONTH. Otherwise, check the marketplace. Already paid your deductible and let go in the first quarter? Too bad if you can't afford COBRA. You have to restart your contributions to the deductible if you opt for a new plan on the marketplace.

So, make sure you're setting aside appropriately in when money's coming in.

Apologies for the rantyness. This has happened twice, once during 2020 and again during the current rounds of layoffs. It hits home, hard. I think it's important for people's safety to make sure these facts are known.

> The measure of teacher performance was based on student improvement over time on standardized tests.

Except 1) those tests weren't designed for that purpose, and 2) they are a worse measure of student preparedness than GPAs, and 3) they only test those topics which are easy to test in a standardized setting.

And as I pointed out, the statistic methods used to find these patterns, like VAM, are intrinsically difficult, and easy to misinterpret.

> Then why not lead with that citation and not the very weak conference paper that you chose to lead with?

Because it was more informative than the citation you presented, which was a non-peer-reviewed book that I couldn't easily read by a journalist whose results as you presented are contrary to my (limited) understanding of the topic.

> I'd probably start with this book

Since you think peer review is important, why do you point to non-peer-reviewed sources?

Just looking at the authors shows that I expect them to have a pro-standardized testing viewpoint. All three of them work/have worked for a standardized testing company.

I grew up a geek in a rural area, learning how to filter conversations for your audience was a critical skill.

Topics and conversational style amongst my D&D group was very different than amongst my other high school classmates and very different than when at my summer jobs.

This is just an article about people who never learned that skill.

I'm reminded of a few moments in my life that drove this home ...

A coworker (60 year old railway worker) who said "You shouldn't use ten dollar words in a twenty-five cent conversation."

A girlfriend who described the difference as "Weird is when you know you're weird and compensate when needed, strange is when you don't know you're strange."

I think that's in fact a reason why, and even the article itself is aware of this, these subcultures and the commentary on it seem so banal in real life. In reality it's more or less an economic grift to get funded by ideologically motivated venture capitalists, and everything centers around this. In Germany we call it "Hofberichterstattung". something like royal court reporting.

And no abstraction is perfect, as by definition an abstraction hides some details from the layer beneath. A good abstraction is one that allows you to not look under the hood most of the time. One can be happily writing code in their favorite programming language until you want better performance and started looking into cpu caches, branch prediction, etc. which are "breaks" the nice abstractions provided by the OS and high level programming languages.
My take on it is I don't really care. Anything they say is meaningless because it has no cash value to me. If they need to say something to make themselves feel better or make their investors feel better, well, that doesn't involve me at all. When I get laid off, my immediate focus is on finding another job, because I have a family to take care of.
I'm not entirely sure I agree. I mean, maybe I do. I think one could argue that the internet is a lot more moderated in this day and age, but maybe you were referring more to the addictive and destructive effects of social media.

I don't get why you need to hand pump a bunch of air just to start a small generator/air compressor when I can pull a rip cord and have 10kw of power in seconds and use that to bootstrap the remainder of this startup process.

It would seem you only need to do a bunch of pumping to startup a larger engine where the smaller starter/pony motor is not working. I wouldn't describe such an engine as 'small' though.

> Isn't uint8 exactly what your 'integer[modulo 256]' is

In c/c++ it is. Obviously some other languages would disagree.

I think a better example of what GP is thinking about is Rust's approach, where overflowing an u8 panics (in debug builds), but you can do x.wrapping_add(y), x.saturating_add(y), x.checked_add(y) etc., depending on what you want to happen when the operation overflows.
That indeed seems perfect.
Demonyms are an important part of creating an artificially constructed affinity group in which employees’ (part instinctive, part learned) inclination to family/community is directed at the corporation, an entity designed to serve the interests of capital by extracting value from them.

As an important audience for these messages is the remaining employees, and this is a time of particular risk of the façade cracking, it is one of the more important times to deploy every tool to reinforce it.
GRBs start, as their name suggest, as a burst of gamma rays, but have long tails of emiting of x-rays and other lower energy photons that we're more likely to notice.

I disagree. I think within a given context like “architecture in the neighborhood I live in”, there’s an objective component to beauty/ugliness.
