These analogies are wrong.

You agree _in your rental contract_ not to dump explosives in the apartment complex trash compactor, and that the apartment complex has the right to process your trash.

The apartment complex stops looking inside everyone's bags that land in the compactor (a bit late to prevent it from getting into the trash), instead sniffing bags as you put them into the trash chute on your floor, and tagging the bag with a red sticker if it the chemical composition matches a particular pre-registered explosive from a list.

At the other end of the chute, a counter checks if you've dumped a dozen bags with red stickers, and if so, a human may open one to see WTF you're up to. If you're indeed dumping explosives in bulk, they let the bomb squad know.

EITHER WAY, that bag would be headed to the compactor, you are affirmatively putting it there, and any explosives are a breach of agreement. In no other case besides you opening the chute to dump a bag is it sniffing anything else anywhere, except when you open the chute to send these bags to the compactor, bags you decide the contents of.

As far as I know hydroponics isn’t really feasible for grains like wheat and corn. It’s great for growing salad items like tomatoes and lettuce but those won’t keep us alive as a staple.

> Globalization in its recent form has been all about exploiting labor cost differences.

I disagree. The U.S. which has relatively high labor costs, has nevertheless been a leading recipient of foreign direct investment.

Specialization is a far stronger driver. Labor cost differentials narrow over time but specialization can be compounding.

Best way to build a integration solution for a SaaS platform
We're building integrations for our customers to extract data from legacy on-premise or cloud-hosted, but still old sources (think medical records, HR record servers, etc), centalize it, display it, etc.

These tools each have convoluted HTTP REST / SOAP APIs

How would you go about architecting a solution that allows a customer to self-serve connect to their sources and our product would then ingest and cache the data to be served to them in (sometimes) synthesized form?

We're looking at ETL tools etc. but any thoughts come to mind here?

Once again, there isn't a law against burkinis. There are pool rules that predate the invention of the burkini and disallow many things, wearing burkinis (though not mentioned specifically in the rules) in the pool among them. Writing a law specifically about allowing burkinis is discriminatory against other religions and beliefs.

You don’t have to be a large corporation to have your own IP space. Getting your own IP space assigned by an authority like ARIN and getting a BGP AS number is the way to go here. I think ARIN allocates out IPv6 space out for free or low cost. There are yearly maintenance fees involved but should still be affordable for a small business. If this is for home use, then yeah that would be overkill.

It’s a poorly implemented method to attempt to introduce some equity or actual measurable outcome.

It has to be poorly implemented because people have successfully asserted in court that assessments that correlate with IQ are illegal. So making an assessment a grind is key to weeding out the lazy or people not crafty enough to figure out what’s up. They handle the intelligence part by targeting select schools.

In government, this has been incredibly impactful. Professional civil service jobs in the US had a mixture of professional expertise and general intelligence component weighted differently depending on the job. Now, if they still exist, they consist of trivia or grammar evaluations. The result is, in professional civil service, professions without gating credentials are hiring lower IQ individuals.

A couple of notes:

If you can, add the support for CIDR style netmask (/8, /24 etc). Nothing wrong without it, but when you hop between them constantly mistakes happen.

In the example.yaml you state what option 3 is required - but it's not. It is absolutely a valid way to run some network without providing a default router.[0] If this is somehow is really a requirement anywhere than that requirement should be removed.

One of the things what I often use in MS DHCP is the server wide options, so some basic option values are configured on the server level and I add/override the needed ones on the scope level.

PS while the name is amusing, it is a possible IP conflict there, especially since you clearly state you know about Dora.

From the wikipedia article you linked, the 1999 case that is cited as precedent and is the one that matters was not self-represented.

> Bernstein was represented by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who hired outside lawyer Cindy Cohn and also obtained pro bono publico assistance from Lee Tien of Berkeley; M. Edward Ross of the San Francisco law firm of Steefel, Levitt & Weiss; James Wheaton and Elizabeth Pritzker of the First Amendment Project in Oakland; and Robert Corn-Revere, Julia Kogan, and Jeremy Miller of the Washington, DC, law firm of Hogan & Hartson

As for the original question, the framework for this kind of legislation is usually “we ban the hosting of CSAM, you either implement something that eliminates it or you risk being fined for breaking the law”. That may not sound different to you but it is an extremely clear distinction in first amendment terms from “the state department may deny you an export license to publish your code”. Bernstein v US was saying that the burdens to publishing were too high and so he was unable to speak. The burdens did include submitting code and ideas to the government. With CSAM scanning, you are not forced to publish your code (speak), just to do something that satisfies the ban on hosting the content. There are thousands of completely constitutional laws that require you to do stuff a certain way that may involve writing code. This would be one of those.

The San Bernardino thing is a bit more like Bernstein — the government wanted Apple to give them a software tool to unlock a phone. A bit like “give us your code and ideas” but still not quite “give us your code and ideas or we silence you”.
I don't know what language you use, but I figured out the success of Docker. I use Go, so my entire program is just one statically-linked binary. I can //go:embed any non-code files that I need at runtime. So I am naturally annoyed at the overhead Docker introduces with builds (throwing away my beloved and reliable ~/.cache for no reason), but I realize I'm not the target market, because most people don't program in a language with a build system. The target market is Python and Javascript programmers. Those languages can't even compute what modules you depend on without running arbitrary code from the Internet, much less produce a single file that will run on any reasonable Linux box. ("Hi! I got drunk and ran someone over with my motorcycle, but I'm out of jail and I need a job. Click here to give me one!" is an actual message that NPM will print in any large project, though it omits some details about the whole killing someone thing.)

Docker is a system for shipping your laptop to production, and because of the inadequacies in the tooling of those popular languages, it's in high demand.
Just putting an x86 pause in your spin loop will dramatically improve the mean latency under contention, but it also leads to huge tail latency explosions because it has no fairness mechanism.
Hardly, they also know if their twin had the opportunity to copy their work etc.
Sorry. What? You’re claiming that the hard part is the parsing of textual ipv6 addresses to binary representation but these same algorithms would work on a hypothetical hand-wavy ipv4+ how? It’s extended so you’ve either got numbers > 255 (breaks parsing routines) or more dots (again breaks parsing routines). Either way you slice it you have to upgrade the parsing routines. And the hard part has not been the parsing routines. And you’d need to justify that what you describe about bound addresses doesn’t apply to a non-existent ipv4+.

It’s getting all the middleware routers, services, and websites to support both that’s been the challenge because it was a chicken and egg. ISPs didn’t want to do it. Websites wouldn’t do it because there were no customers. Carrier grade NATs bought another decade or two. Manufacturers didn’t bother prioritizing the ipv6 stack because carriers weren’t demanding it so HW had very immature and buggy ipv6 stacks which further prohibited ISPs from turning it on because it was another 1-3 purchase cycles before the stack actually worked correctly. And none of that solves the chicken/egg problem of the lack of eyeball supply / customer demand.

The complexity of IPv6 contributed to some of it. Carrier grade NAT did most of the harm though and that would have been a thing regardless.

The Role of Planning in Engineering
I want to make a point. Planning is good, and planning is bad, for engineers.

First, there's different types of engineering. There's high-level engineering, and there's low-level engineering. Most engineers perform low-level engineering, especially engineers who are new to a project. High-level engineering is done only when the engineer is knowledgeable with the subject. Some engineers become so knowledgeable in their problem domain that they can be seen as "architects" and mostly do work by scaling themselves and delegating/supervising.

But managers see things differently. For them, planning is a requirement because they need visibility. Without visibility they are in the dark, and can't measure progress, can't communicate expectations, and can't organize their teams.

The problem comes when low-level engineering is what's needed, and high-level engineering is requested, or vice versa.

In the first case, an engineer who is asked to plan within a domain that they don't know will mostly lead to stress and depresssion. They should focus on understanding the space.

The second case, when high-level engineering is needed but low-level engineering is done, can be seen as bad because it means that the engineer might not make good progress due to working on the wrong things, and worse that the engineer might be spending time walking a wrong path and will have discard their work once they realize their mistake.

The important part is the "once they realize their mistake", as we assume here that with some planning work they could have avoided that mistake (and saved time).

Thus, a good way to structure a team is to try to make engineers focus on what's in front of them, and periodically make sure that they're seeing the big picture. Also, the architects should spend more time doing high-level engineering because they can afford it, and less time doing low-level engineering because we really need high-level engineers in organizations.

Note: this high-level engineer makes it sound like they're less technical. This is not true. Perhaps this should be changed to level 2 engineers vs level 1 engineers.

PS: I asked [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/chat) if this article was true, and this was their response:

> This is a well-argued perspective on the role of planning in engineering. It is true that planning can be beneficial for engineers, as it allows them to think ahead and consider potential problems or obstacles that they may encounter while working on a project. However, it is also true that excessive planning, or planning in an area that the engineer is not familiar with, can lead to stress and inefficiency. Therefore, it is important for engineers to strike a balance between planning and focusing on the task at hand, and for managers to provide support and guidance to ensure that engineers are working on the right things at the right time.
Definitely. Daily tools include Google analytics, Google search console, mouseflow and SEMRush. Bing Webmaster is surprisingly good.
Taiwan is hardly likely to give up their “Silicon Shield” https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Taiwan+Silicon-Shield - their investments made in the US are to stay in control, not to give up their objectives, and why not make a profit on the side? Morris Chang talks bluntly about this strategy - see YouTube.

The US is paying for that car, and TSMC is making sure it keeps the keys: “In 2021, U.S. exports to Taiwan were $47.3 billion, and imports from Taiwan were $86.9 billion”. Also note Taiwan’s total imports of 381 billion USD in 2021. (Edit removed dumb sentence).

Not your device, not your software. You should assume anything you upload unencrypted is scanned. This distinction was clearly voiced by the majority during the debacle of Apple's on-device scanning proposal. They basically said, "Scanning in the cloud is [choose one: fine, skeezy], but we draw the line at doing on-device scans. I don't want that software on my device."
Some studies look at identical twins vs fraternal twins, seeing if identical twins are more similar than fraternal. It's an excellent way to control for almost everything except the genetics.

These evil corporations aren't mandating devastating farming practices. Certainly, big corporations, supermarket chains having huge contracts with few industrial farms for example, have played a big role in the consolidation.

There are a lot of factors at play here, though, that have lead to industrial farms crowding out all the smaller farms, eg. economy of scale, high capital investment in equipment, and dwindling workforce- fewer kids want to stick around and work the farms.

I think it's a tradeoff- a lot of better farming practices require more workers, from my understanding/experience.
What I find to be the most asshole thing with this layoff and the other ones in recent days is that, they pretend to care about the people that are discarded but it is really an awful thing to fire them just before Christmas and end of year celebrations.

Except in exceptional cases, that is not this one, waiting for the beginning of January will not change things so much for the business but it would avoid depression of employee by having celebration ruined for the employee and probably his whole family!

Why is it done like that and now? Probably because they want to be able to announce "good financial news" for the year 2023 or the new quarter...
This is a succinct explanation of the problem. Do we give the vast majority of users extremely easy, frictionless access to very high levels of security and privacy? Or do we give the vast majority of users a fundamentally insecure solution that with lots of learning and configuring and time can be have very very very high levels of security and privacy?

The crazy thing is that apple hardware beats most other hardware, too, at a high price. Better phones, better tablets, better laptops. More secure, more private OS than the popular consumer alternatives (Windows, Android). Arguably much better OS all around, too (at least IMO -- iOS beats even stock Pixel Android at use-ability, MacOS v Windows is like the Harlem Globetrotters playing the Washington Generals.)

This is an interesting comment. When you say "maintainable", I would agree but for different reasons. It would say a single owner for most of the ecosystem (Sun->Oracle) makes it exceedingly stable. (Yes, I know IBM has a parallel universe, but little used compared to Oracle's.) Think about it: A single vendor provides the whole stack: compiler, debugger (including remote!), standard library (immense, well-documented), virtual machine, and IDE (NetBeans). There is also a small army of well-paid, highly skilled developers employed by Sun->Oracle constantly working to improve this ecosystem. Probably, the only thing they don't provide is a build system. They originally wrote Ant, but then let free in the wild. Also, no segmentation faults, full exception stack traces, and mature decompilation tools make it incredibly simple to debug -- even the hairiest legacy libraries. With the exception of Microsoft's C#/.NET, I cannot think of any mature equivalent. Note: Above, I never mentioned the open source community (Maven Central Repo, etc.). I won't touch that because the quality varies wildly.

And, yes, I agree 100% about your reference to low cost developers. From an enterprise view, it is cheap and easy to find (low quality and) low cost developers to maintain legacy Java software.

You also wrote: <<... static typing allows for deterministic refactoring of bad code. That's something you can't easily do in JavaScript.>> Most JavaScript devs would immediately reply: "Oh, use TypeScript for that." As I understand, you can incrementally upgrade a legacy JavaScript project to TypeScript, then slowly add types. Also, I have refactored lots of Java code that uses Object as a substitute for C's void*. That type of code is so difficult to understand without a debugger. Also, very difficult to refactor due to limited typing.
