Write a sappy linkedin post about being laid off, how your co-workers are the smartest you ever worked with, and cry:

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that I was recently laid off from my job. While this news is tough to process, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the amazing co-workers I had the pleasure of working with.

They say that the people you work with can make or break a job, and in my case, my co-workers truly made my experience a positive one. I have learned so much from each and every one of them, and I am grateful for the support and guidance they provided me.

I will miss coming into the office and collaborating with such a talented and dedicated team. I am so proud to have been a part of this company and I will always look back on my time here with fond memories.

As I move on to the next chapter of my career, I will carry the lessons and friendships I made at this job with me. Thank you to all of my co-workers for being such an important part of my journey. I am truly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you all.

People like you who complain about scrum often complain about things that are not part of scrum. Velocity is never mentioned in the scrum guide for example. What you describe is nothing like scrum.
I really enjoy Reducible's content. Two videos to get you started:

The unreasonable effectiveness of JPEG: A signal processing approach — https://youtu.be/0me3guauqOU

How PNG works: compromising speed for quality — https://youtu.be/EFUYNoFRHQI

These videos go deep in the details on how they work, and use excellent animation to drive the point home. Honestly reminds me of 3blue1brown for CS. With 200k subscribers, Reducible is way underrated.

It's all about the metric you choose. That's the true issue.
> Under the Online Safety Bill, which is currently being debated in the House of Commons, companies will be compelled to weaken security and provide “backdoor access” that bypasses encryption and provide access to any encrypted data in messages, cloud storage or logs on request.

If companies are required to provide backdoors, presumably what this means in practice is that they release a targeted update to their app with extra code in which breaks the privacy guarantees just for a specific user.

Assuming the app is open source and reproducibly builds, app stores could protect users by implementing Binary Transparency with a public append-only log, but presumably the law will be flexible enough to apply to OS vendors too, forcing them lie about the hashes of the apps that are downloaded.

This is a good step in the right direction. I believe Chrome has used lots of battery and CPU to just focus on speed.
I don’t think that will ever be a replacement for living somewhere the language is spoken. I believe true fluency requires that (unless you’re some kind of savant) and I don’t think AI can replace the experience of walking into a shop, reading all the signs and labels in the language, making small talk with others in there, talking to the cashier. It’s that kind of immersion in a language that combines not only practice reading, writing, and speaking the language, but also all the other sensory experiences that reinforce what you’ve learned and forms associations that deepens your understanding.
If Safari is the new IE, Chrome is the new Windows.

Feels weird to have the performance control inside an application, instead of it following what has been set by the OS.

Is this really going to do a lot? My tab suspension needs are covered pretty well by browser/PC reboots. I don't reboot if there's something I'm actively using and tabs I'm not using never get loaded after I bring the browser back up.
Out of curiosity, why pay so much for the domain name? Could you not have chosen a name that had an open .com domain?

Aldo, if this was your trademark before buying the domain, are you sure you couldn't have used the ICANN trademark squatting process to seize it? That would have only cost about $1500. Some people look for trademark registrations to preemptively buy the .com domain (and then sell it back to you for $10,000+), but the ICANN specifically has a process in place to prevent this kind of extortion.
I'm pretty sure it is cheaper, but it might not be cheaper for people who wear nicer clothes regularly, or people who are really into sneakers.

Apparently the average is $300 a year for an average man, but it's possible to spend much less.
Fairly well understood and "Big Co" don't really go together.
None of those ever 70x. Is there really anything we can compare it with?

In any case, it appears the whole OP was either a lie or at the least misleading. Apparently the guy paid $850 to begin with, not $12.
sounds like this is in line with this kinds of reasoning:

> Any inactive tabs will be reloaded when you need them.

Anyone have ideas why the tab's memory contents can't be offloaded to SSD and restored instead? Personally I don't like losing state (e.g. filled in forms, scroll position, deleted posts, etc) from using other extensions like Great Suspender.
It's a pity that the venn diagrams of people who understand the need for private money transactions and people who understand the macroeconomic need of (occasional) negative interest rates do not in practice seem to overlap.
I think it's more like having downsized by half, they now have lots of excess unused inventory to offload.
I think a key point to consider is that when buying a good or service that has a quoted price, a consumer can make an informed decision as to whether that good or service’s utility to the exceeds the utility of price being asked for. When there’s all sorts of tracking going on behind the scenes and advertising that leads to them getting better targeted ads (which presumably lead to them spending more, because otherwise firms would not pay to have such targeted ads) then it becomes an opaque situation that does not allow the consumer to make a reasonable calculation.
Selling off a twitter bird statue makes it look bad. What a signal that the company doesn't believe in itself anymore.
> since these feelings must be what the bully wants. To the bullied saying something like that may feel as digging own grave.

Maybe. Its a vulnerable move because what happens next is up to the bully.

Almost everyone in life needs to find a way to tell a hero story of themselves. If the bully is telling themselves a story that "its just some lighthearted fun", then that story will struggle to survive the uncomfortable reality of whats going on for you. Almost everyone I've ever met is like this. Decent people instinctively respond to vulnerability with vulnerability.

But yeah - sometimes people are actually sociopathic and want suffering for its own sake. Giving sociopaths more power is rarely a winning move. I can count on one hand the number of people who've responded to me expressing vulnerability by doubling down on their awful behaviour, or weaponising that against me. I don't think I've ever regretted burning people like that out of my life.
the conspiracy here, is the way this system of employees and companies pretends that it's very different from masters and slaves.

the real difference is that a slave has one master, but an employee is some sort of partial-slave that is shared amongst many masters in a way that the employee gets to chose who gets to tell them what to do and that's it.
Here in Switzerland we used to use cash for a lot of things, I remember paying my car in cash. It has changed a lot with covid. I do not know the regulation on any limit.

Just a guess but probably something to do with running states in the background but connected to external thingies, hard to offload and restore as-is if the external thingies (or the local one) detect timeouts. Easier to just reload the URL than bother to restore an unusable webpage's state I suppose.
Eventually it may expand into that too.
> Can't really think of any good legitimate use cases for large amounts of cash.

Affluent people tend to diversify where they keep their money. They have a few different checking accounts, savings/money-market accounts, brokerage accounts, assets, petty cash, and probably some other things. If you do not have the level of wealth that gives you the flexibility to keep large sums of money in a relatively inaccessible place (e.g. a brokerage account that might take 1-3 days to liquidate and another day to do a bank transfer), you might opt to keep a few thousand in cash in case something happens with your bank, such as your account being frozen or just drained due to fraudulent activity. It’s always prudent to keep reserves in diversified locations.
Thinking about it there aren't many things that are as cheap an durable as steel and aluminum. You surely know how the amount of energy you get out of the panels changes with inclination and just laying them flat is only feasible if you aren't concerned with that loss per unit of energy output or your plant sits on the equator. But in that case you can massively simplify the mounting system and raising the panels up would make maintenance from below easy.

It doesn't feel like masonry or poured concrete walls will be a much cheaper substitute either. Wood might do in arid conditions with well behaved weather but you may pay in maintenance over time what you save at the start.

I think a better approach is to improve the yield per unit with either better panels (split-cell bifacials currently seem to offer a nice bonus in yield just from back-reflected light) or some other thing you can do to improve overall profit per unit land.

Of course there are situations land is so cheap it doesn't matter as a cost factor but after a point you would pay more in other infrastructure than you save again.

Moats – why Peter Thiel shows the way
I mostly agree with the author's point, but I feel it's worth pointing out that apologizing for being inexperienced with a language can actually help _build_ confidence in communicating more. It can give people a sense of qualification that they're able to continue without being judged too harshly for their language skills.
That's an interesting quote from Douglass. If you follow the reference, it continues

> It gives the shopkeeper a customer who can trade with no other storekeeper,
and thus leaves the latter no motive for fair dealing except
his own moral sense, which is never too strong. While the
laborer holding the orders is tempted by their worthlessness,
as a circulating medium, to get rid of them at any sacrifice,
and hence is led into extravagance and consequent destitution.

> The merchant puts him off with his poorest commodities
at highest prices, and can say to him take these or nothing.
Worse still. By this means the laborer is brought into debt,
and hence is kept always in the power of the land-owner.
When this system is not pursued and land is rented to the
freedman, he is charged more for the use of an acre of land
for a single year than the land would bring in the market if
offered for sale. On such a system of fraud and wrong one
might well invoke a bolt from heaven red with uncommon
wrath.

> It is said if the colored people do not like the conditions
upon which their labor is demanded and secured, let them
leave and go elsewhere. A more heartless suggestion never
emanated from an oppressor. Having for years paid them in
shop orders, utterly worthless outside the shop to which they
are directed, without a dollar in their pockets, brought by
this crafty process into bondage to the land-owners, who can
and would arrest them if they should attempt to leave when
they are told to go.

I can think of modern power relations this reminds me of, but an ordinary job in the U.S. is not one of them.

I feel like people would quickly demand the repeal of this law if Apple refused to comply and was banned in the UK. The average person (and the average politician) may not care about privacy or security, but they like Apple products. If I was the decision maker at Apple, I would call the government's bluff and refuse to comply.
Personalised & tracking ads are beneficial firms because they extract more revenue from consumers. That means it makes consumers poorer by diverting a larger fraction of their disposable income.

As such, I couldn’t care less whether personalised ads are beneficial to big or large firms and help their bottom line. These laws are (rightly, IMHO) targeted at protecting consumers and so I’m glad they’ve been passed and are being enforced.
Get the boot out of your mouth. If cash is legal tender, then any amount is, by default, legal.

This law makes it not fully legal tender (after amount X). It is disgusting.

Stop pretending the government (any) has the “average” man’s best interest. Stop pretending they care.
> Are they getting rid off some of the creature comforts for the employees who're still sticking around?

In case you haven't noticed the majority of employees has been fired. There's only so many sofas you need for a certain amount of people.
Sometimes I actually do a slightly similar one. I do 3. 2. 1. 4.

I also sometimes skip point 2. to avoid any bias and follow their own pitfalls instead using my own creativity from the raw material of point 3.

But your workflow is great. :) It's the same than Apple or Ford when they created the first cars. Like their famous quote: if Ford asked first to experts what the next transportation will be they would have said faster horses. It had to start from a visionary first and not experts.
1. it's a ton of data

2. it's very messy data, it's a bunch of seas of nodes (the DOM, the JS heap, the styling info, etc...)

3. I wouldn't be surprised if it was data which isn't fully isolated (e.g. shared style caches), meaning it first has to be fully forked to resolve into a self-contained bundle

OS have the ability to just freeze and store / restore memory, but I'm not sure they give that capability to use processes.
Great. Now awaiting JavaScript frameworks and their users to eat up those savings thrice.
> according to their fair reading of that law

I get the feeling that you can bypass laws in the US based on technicalities and loopholes. In the EU, it’s the intent of the laws that matters, not how the words are written first degree. And the intent is pretty fucking clear: don’t mess with EU citizens private data. I can’t wait for Facebook to die and will never care that they spent billions trying to bypass EU laws for nothing.
Besides all the other red flags, what would have (probably) triggered an alarm would have been the actual list of equipment (and its generic content).

Set of furniture?

Copiers?

Graphics generator and software?

Data storage and Microfiche?

High speed Internet access?

All coming from a same supplier, the same that provides the Mac and the "Dual Monitors", maybe it is "normal" in US, but elsewhere there would be several different suppliers, very detailed confirm orders, a lengthy contract for the Internet access, endless back and forth for fixing delivery and installation dates, etc.

> and more recently lots of folks are grabbing thin clients

But thin clients are typically much bigger than a Pi and consume much more power. Sure if it's something that never moves and is used as a server in an attic somewhere it might work, but if it's something small that you want to be able to carry around and throw in a backpack then the Pi is irreplaceable?

It's true that availability is a big problem though.
All mainstream US media outlets maintain close relationships with law enforcement at all levels, it's how they get access. This isn't a scandal.
Don't forget that reloading through the networks gives Google the ability to keep tracking. The requests will go only to that URL, but Google will get it one way or another...
I can’t imagine a car dealer who would do anything but laugh if I bought a car north of €10k and suggested I wanted to pay in cash. I’m 100% sure they’d rather not sell the car at all. Same if I privately sold a car that expensive and the buyer showed up with cash. The hassle involved with depositing and withdrawing large amounts of cash due to KYC laws already makes this a no go. And for good reason imo.
A good ad blocker also saves battery. Not loading ads will also help the page load faster and that definitely smooths out the experience.
Police actually does that here NL). If you declare hardly any income or posessions on your tax report, yet you drive some very expensive car, you may expect a visit from some fraud investigation unit.

I can see this rapidly ‘degenerating’ into “what is a chair? Is a tree stump you sit on a chair?”- or “is there such a thing as a ‘chair’, after all ‘chair’ is an abstract concept and what we sit on is physical items”-type discussions.

Pushing them to NEED to use a profit driven banking system. Forcing them to be tracked. To have data mined and sold. To rely on “too big to fail” banking systems that practically schedule economic downturns every 20 years or so.
I don’t think we understood each other. I’m saying twitter should have to release their client code *if their client code uses libsignal*.

What i’m saying about server code is the logic of agpl. GPL is about providing the means for users to obtain source code of the binary they’re running. There was a gap with api, where a given library feature could be exposed through network services and since no binary were downloaded then the code wouldn’t required to be open sourced. AGPL fixes that.

But we both agree that client code and server code are independent relative to their licensing terms.
In general convention doesn't work so well if you're not really into the system. I.e the casual users.

Convention means that behaviour depends on not just what's present but also what's not present. So it is of course missing some of the explicitness. For the directories, you need to understand which directories to look into and in which order they are taken into account (for systemd this is hard enough that's it's best to be tool assisted).
Forward secrecy is somewhat overrated in end to end encrypted messaging. Most people do not want a truly off the record experience but instead keep their old messages around indefinitely. As long as those old messages exist and are accessible to the user they will be just as accessible to any attacker that gets access to the secret key material.

The Signal Protocol somewhat excessively provides forward secrecy for each and every message sent. That is sort of pointless while the messages still exist on the screen. Most people would be happy getting rid of their old messages every week or so. You could totally do that in an instant messaging system that used OpenPGP formatted messages. The reason that no one bothers is because few people want to dump their old encrypted emails. No one wants to dump their old encrypted files. Instead they take advantage of the greater security inherent in an offline encryption system and avoid getting their keys leaked in the first place.

If you really wanted to do message by message forward secrecy using a hash ratchet using OpenPGP formatted messages you could do that too. There is nothing magical about the Signal Protocol for stuff like that...

Why would anybody go for "retail" laundering when you can buy a bank for a pocket change in Cyprus?

Ways to launder money fully legally are vastly, vastly more widespread than mules with bags of cash, and are protected by connivance of Western governments.
It’s certainly not even close to the scale that would be needed for cars.
You’ll need to explain where large amounts of cash comes from when depositing, or what it’s for when withdrawing. So in a way the burden is on whoever wants to use large amounts of cash.

because the original poster was selling people Devine based on how cool a moniker they had.

It's a stupid gripe, but imagine that you're an enlisted soldier who is working their way into getting into the squadron lead by 'Tommy the Terrible' -- a simple example but i'm a simple guy, and it relates to battle analogy earlier.

Once you arrive you realize that Tommy the Terrible was just given his first command, he was promoted to the position due to being the member of a powerful family, and he commanded his unders to only refer to him as 'Tommy the Terrible', rather than gaining the title through the respect of his triumphs and leadership ability.

In other words, a name given by oneself has less impact in most societies than one achieved through achievement or familial ties.

Anyway, that whole differentiation is ridiculous within this context, I just thought it was necessary to explain.

Devine has earned the cool moniker, self-administered or not.
