> it's that companies can behave in seemingly weird ways, to an outsider some of these behaviours might even appear scammish or risky

This is no more inherently scammish than my relationship with my credit card company or any time one agrees to pay later (which is the norm of how businesses with supply chains operate).

The point is there’s no need to use some ill defined concept of weird. Where is the money going and what is the purpose? If someone is giving you an unbacked check and requesting a wire transfer to themselves it’s a scam.

While agreeing to be paid later for an unrelated good or service has some amount of risk it isn’t a scam.

And there are clear benefits to booking your own plane tickets.
Yeah, it seems to basically follow Mass Ave from Harvard to Porter which makes perfect sense. (There's some one-way funkiness on the surface street--Boston/Cambridge, what can you say?) But given that the Hardware Square station existed at the time of the Red Line extension, I'm not sure why you would go under Harvard Yard. I'm willing to believe that Harvard Square station could have been located differently in a way that didn't require such a dogleg approaching Harvard Yard but that decision happened a very long time ago.
You mean a bank will demand to know information about the customers of a business that has an account with them?

I personally already run a business and my bank has never wanted any info from me about my business's customers. Sure they know me well, but not my customers.

Are you saying this is an exception?

Is that app for phones only or also for classic computers? I don't think it is reasonable to assume a phone is needed to use a printer. Information on devices made for carrying around doesn't usually need to be printed.
My statement wasn't actually directed at you—I don't know you! Sorry it sounded like a criticism.

I was responding to @scott_w saying that process change not taking root isn't the consultant's fault, because companies don't want to pay for good process change. I disagree: I think it's the consultants job to be clear about what's needed to succeed, and not work for companies that don't want to pay for good work.

Regarding methodologies, I agree that successful teams internalize the principles behind their methods and leave the by-the-book methodologies behind. I think you're being overly cynical, though. Beginners need a concrete place to start. It's like saying cookbooks are a sham because expert chefs don't need them.

counter-counterpoint: studies (that is to say the modern ritual of writing papers about spuriously finding statistical correlations using language and processes specific to your academic tribe) have consistently found positive effects of both.

On the one hand you have the supposed positive effects of accepting identities of the in-group, but you have to be very careful about how you structure and interpret these, because as you've inadvertently pointed out, what you're often really getting is access to social networks and resources. you also have to be very careful to interpret the positive outcomes of such if they're part of groups that actively discriminate, target or persecute out-member groups. gays, foreigners, races, genders other-identies can also be shown to often have negative effects using similar methods, and of course naive methods do find significantly worse outcomes amongst many life measures from such groups (which is not really surprising, because the in-group often treats them like shit).

but studies have also shown consistent positive effects from dropping identities. i.e. stopping identifying with criminal groups, removing limiting beliefs and cognitive barriers associated with identities, and positive associations with Buddhist-esque religions and practices associated with traditionally non-identity building beliefs and practices (meditation, anatman, western psychological methods and treatments associated- derived from such etc).

personally, I fall on the less identity side of things, just speaking as someone on the side of the unique position of being involved with statistics, religion, economics, and psychology.

If you're moving that much money around at some point that money has to flow into a legally operated financial provider/service for you to use it for any good means.

You could launder $100k through the means you mentioned with Bitcoin through illegally operated exchanges for example but then what? You can't use it to buy a property that way.

I used chatGPT to solve a sqlite bug involving a query that was taking 4 seconds to run. I pasted the query and it identified many possible issues with the query including the offending problem (it was missing an index on a timestamp).

It also passed 3/4 of our companies interview process including forging a resume that passed the recruiter filter.

That being said, I COMPLETELY agree with you that chatGPT will not disrupt anything. Your example cases are completely as VALID as are my example cases.

chatGPT is, however, the precursor to the thing that will disrupt everything.
Well at least you got a family and friends.

I had this going back around late 2000s with jQuery and Spring Web Flow. It was absolutely glorious. Server side declarative navigation (great for dev coordination), seamless transitions, less bandwidth consumed, super simple client side rendering, no more issues with the PRG pattern and user interference, and I even think I put in even listeners to execute animations based on the return fragment.

Never was allowed to put it into prod - "didnt need it". Oh well.

Remember they need new ideas and then they need animal models with which they can test these new ideas. They had one, they had drug candidates that satisfied the model and yet nothing happened. We’ve just seen the various tries run down and smell the smoke of billions of dollars burning to ash.

It’s research not engineering and we can’t experiment on people. Huge unmet market need will keep companies trying.

The key question for me is not whether there is too much complexity, but whether or not this complexity is something that adds value for the actual user. Too many things do not actually do that. I use too many pages where I know it's some kind of an SAP simply because the user experience is buggy, clunky and shitty. Why that is, is a really big topic and there could be many reasons, but it's not really discussed.
That is the human condition and also prevalent in capitalist economies.
I'm actually curious in what parts of world anyone would genuinely consider nurses to be "highly paid". The hourly rates for some types of nursing work can be quite decent, but still markedly less than what virtually anyone in IT with similar levels of experience would expect to receive. And it's often sufficiently physically draining that it's not feasible for most to work 40-50 hours a week.

There are places you can get energy from to do this for sure. But you're still putting energy into an energy conversion, not getting energy out of CO₂. (Unless you're doing some kind of late stage stellar nucleosynthesis fusion, which... you're not)

The headline should be: "Fuel components from air synthesized into liquid fuel using energy from some other energy source"

I work at one of the largest Haskell-in-production companies in the world

There are issues outside of the actual authorship of code you need to take into account if you want to choose Haskell. I'll leave it at that.

It's a fantastic language undoubtedly.

But if you've never experienced the maintenance and upgrade of a very large Haskell codebase over a period of years, especially if you have a big dependency-tree, and need to interface with external tools (database drivers, etc.) I'd urge you to talk to someone who has for a view into the experience. Also ask about the state of things like profiling and compiler bugs/memory leaks.

EDIT: I want to note that the state the general Haskell ecosystem/tooling has improved at a dramatic pace in the last ~3-4 years, with the advent of HLS and recent GHC releases.
> or to just drop the policy of allowing fresh recruits to attend BUD/S.

I imagine the policy was to get enough recruitment into the SEAL pipeline, esp. among candidates that would not otherwise join the Navy, if thats the case and it is effective, than I doubt the primary concern is underutilization of washouts.

If the Navy was facing a dearth of skilled positions than I imagine it would not be too hard to better utilise qualified SEAL washouts.
Can you share a FAAANG job ad for a PHP guy - fully remote - at $200k or more? I'm genuinely curious if that is a thing.

Then it seems your setup is totally fine. If you're upserting 10 million rows a day with lots of columns, then of course you're going to be seeing TB's of disk writes. And remember that SSD's can't even write individual bytes the way HDD's can, they necessarily write a whole page at a time, which might be 4K or 16K, even if you're just updating a single integer.

Your database and SSD are functioning totally normally, as designed.

Originally, these types of systems relied not only on the electricity but also some of the heat output of the nuclear plant. If you’re having to do both with solar, then the efficiency is that much lower.

With that said, according to the abstract, this implementation doesn’t require excessive heat energy so you could probably get away with solar thermal for that bit.
1/ he never said his friend’s account was not flagged. It may take some time. 2/ his cash was already clean, so it’s not part of money laundering, if anything it’s called criminal/terrorism funding.
Yes, generally the laws in effect before a colony or territory became a US state remained the same after they became US states. Contracts signed before statehood remained valid after. Property deeds remained valid. The criminal laws remained in effect. And so on, at least until amended by the new state legislature. Doing anything else would just be chaos, really. Louisiana is another example; its legal system has a distinctly French character to this day.
ICEs are incredibly efficient. Electricity is only efficient if you only care about kwh delivered to the car doing to the wheels. The efficiency of getting kwh from the grid to the car puts it well worse than most battery setups.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. The government of cyprus did seize bank deposits during the 2013 crisis. In some european countries i spoke to people who worried the same will have happened during the onset of covid and then the war started by russia.
Absolutely scummy, and yet another example of something labeled "smart" that's hostile to the user.

There needs to be open source firmware for 2D printers too, like there have already been plenty developed for 3D ones. No need to reinvent the whole thing, but just replace the electronics. Presumably the printhead/cartridge interface is still much the same and they haven't gone to the effort of obfuscating/encrypting that yet... https://spritesmods.com/?art=magicbrush

It's unfortunate that printers turned from being based on standard protocols that were documented in the manual they came with (ASCII, ESC/P2, PCL, PostScript, etc.) to these proprietary closed systems. None of the printer manufacturers, including HP, used to be like this.
I agree, but acquaintance always sounds really stilted in a casual conversation, so I use the word friend in a wider context depending on the situation.

The bank reports your bank transactions to the tax authority, who compare them with your tax returns. If there are significant discrepancies you'll probably get asked questions about your customers.
Coinstrapping: Building a Sustainable Crypto Flywheel
I've given up on virtually all brands of printers. The last brand standing that doesn't seem like absolute shit is Brother. I have an ~~inkjet~~ laser printer of theirs that I have connected to the network, which I use with IPP and AirPrint with no issues. HP printers have been horrible anti-consumer garbage for as long as I can remember at this point.
He said small, not zero.
It seems like this agreement should be agreed to before purchase of the device. It is a revision of the buy-sale deal at the store. Even worse, HP isn't even a party to the retail sale (yes it is their product, but the store sold it to me, not HP).

Why aren’t startups trying to disrupt the printer industry? It’s been a racket for a long time.

CRDTs are really cool if your merging function behaves intuitively in the context of your application. You can easily implement a distributed VCS by using the Last Writer Wins, but it would be a nightmare to work with – imagine having your modifications rolled back because someone committed after you.

In the same way some operations are embarrassingly parallelizable (think adding elements to a set), some operations are inherently conflicting: editing elements of the same text, image, directory,... More than trying to decide in all cases which modification wins, we should detect when there are multiple legitimate options and ask the user to choose. Like a merge conflict in Git for example.

The application state feels so clean when conflicts can't arise or are automatically dealt with. But we have to acknowledge there are only so much datastructures that can merge automatically and still be intuitive for the user.
> this usually doesn't happen until it's too late to return the printer.

Not if you’re in a country with reasonable consumer laws. I reckon this would easily be considered as “not fit for purpose” in most of the EU if you tried to challenge it in small claims.
“Christians” not acting like Christians. It’s a religion of love not hate and the big guy made this point repeatedly. If you’re into religion you’re supposed to adjust your life to align with your philosophy not the reverse.

If you’re not into religion you should lay off the bigotry and hatred of others. Probably should do this anyway.

The taxed and the prosecuted.

Taxes aren’t an inherent ethical imperative, and certainly not something for which we should accept endless government intrusion in service of the collection thereof.

Taxes are an imperfect mechanism for funding an imperfect state, not an innate moral right to spend the fruits of others’ labor.

This is a million times easier to do than grow crops. Of course it's possible people could get away with growing crops in national forests, but the risk/reward just isn't there like it is(was?) for weed.

No it really is not. E2E encryption requires this property because everything happens over a channel which everyone (or, a lot of people) can listen into and the protocol is not really based on trust. Meanwhile the financial system is entirely based on trust (between individuals, banks, individuals and institutions, etc) and people have to place their trust in someone at some point (even very rich people doing very dodgy things with their assets have to trust their bankers at e.g. - perhaps somewhat unwisely - Credit Suisse et al.)

The cryptocurrency crowd would like to avoid having to trust anyone ever (but, well, if you look at the systems they design, they're very centralised and rely on networks of trust between lots of people; even within the supposedly iron-clad set of technical rules it's impossible to encode reality, hardly surprising that it's impossible to even encode mathematics in a set of logical rules).

The thing that we're missing is that (at least in my opinion) the reason privacy is important to people is that it is a necessary condition for expressing their personality; ability to buy a sex toy without anyone else knowing about it - sure? Same thing about e.g. visiting a gay club and buying a drink if you live in a very (conservative) Christian community. Ability to move a billion dollars into an offshore jurisdiction to avoid paying on tax on it? I personally wouldn't say this is integral to the right to self-expression.

> If a government can differentiate between a regular person and someone rich and powerful, neither of them have any privacy. There has to be invasive monitoring of the regular person to ensure they aren't stealthily becoming rich.

This is not really true; you don't have to start with the person and locate all their assets. Instead you start with the _assets_ and locate the people who own them (e.g. you see a mystery yacht, and you try to trace the owner).
'By limiting large cash payments, the EU will make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money. '

Bizarre how the EU is penalizing everyone in order to 'make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money'.

People pay taxes in order to have their bureaucrats serve them by creating a safe financial and social environment, not to have them assume everyone is a criminal/terrorist and greatly impede access to their assets based on that logic.

The EU (formerly the 'common market') has become an authoritarian, autocratic monster.

I'm a new refugee from Obsidian - prior to Obsidian, I used OneNote, VS Code, NValt, etc, what have you. The onboarding process is definitely challenging - I started with a vanilla Emacs and had no clue what to do. I tried using Spacemacs - loved how many features were included but ultimately, I found it slightly bloated. Start-up time on my beefy PC was ~4-5 secs. Switched to Doom Emacs and so far I'm loving it. Start-up time is 0.5s and I have pretty much all of the same 'features', plus I can turn on what I need.

I'm finding it to be an excellent C++ IDE with the LSP package, and there is nothing quite like Org-mode. I'm still finding new features. Deft takes care of my NValt addiction, and if I really needed a ZK-ish setup, I can integrate that with org-roam (and still keep those two things separate).

Still looking for a good diary/journal solution to replace my previous one, but I'm ok with how it is for now.
