> no on-call. This is getting more difficult to be picky about with all this stupid movement “you build it you run it”

A lot many times employees themselves shoot in their foot. They don’t stand their ground and say yes even to nighttime on-call. Are you in a first world country? Wherever you are — isn’t there any legal deterrent against this practice?
I swapped the drive. The hardware + network card could be bugged though but unlikely.
I wonder if you could fix the incentives by giving everyone multiple "lives", and half penalizing players who went right before the one who lost the fort.
Opposing the far left does not make one far right. Opposing COVID totalitarianism does not make one a fascist. Opposing gender extremism does not make one a transphobe.

The far left does not seem to understand that their ideology has been promoted pretty much uncontested in many circles and institutions, and that those chickens are now coming home to roost. How does it go again? If you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Dota2 (really most PvP games) have same information asymmetry tho ?

It even has a bit of metagaming like SC2, there you pick the opening build and in Dota your team picks/bans heroes and decides where they go on a map in early game.

I normally maintain a ratio. When I was a junior, the rule I adhered to is spend $10 of company money like your would spend $1 of your own money. As I became more senior, I adjusted that ratio to $100:$1.

This keeps things in perspective but acknowledges that spending money generally makes money for a business.

I agree that creating products that are tailored to a specific group of users can lead to a more passionate customer base. By focusing on the needs of a particular group, you can create a product that is designed to meet their specific needs and preferences. This can lead to a better user experience and more satisfied customers. Additionally, by building products that are not intended to appeal to everyone, you can differentiate your product from competitors and create a unique selling point.

Got whole Althusser who copied from mao which got china. United Front (which fund Confucius college) is still an approach.

I hate them and communist in general, but please war of position or war based on position is key to the dark side winning.

For the china example, Mao has instructed and except one disobedient general never fought the war against japan. And said thank you then of invading china afterward.

Back to this I posted. I think that early pioneer many of these have issue of fighting all or select whatever he thought important. That is why they did this in the first place I think. Some ok some not. And you hope the idea or company spread around enough (mouse-windows to Steve) that someone did it and fight the right strategy war. Free source to open source is another example.
I posted a Twitter thread about this in an early story that I can look up that was super informative with a lot of detail, but the short of it is that it was all a house of cards based on FTT. If Alameda died, it would have tanked the value of FTT, which would have in turn killed FTX, because they were assigning huge value to FTT on their balance sheet (which is, in and of itself, insane because FTT worked more like a stock of FTX itself - a company doesn't put its own stock on the asset side of the balance sheet).
Yes, that is bad.

But that they don't hire anybody without still tells us something.

A friend wants to start a channel. My instinct was that’s a very long shot (pointless even), but I told them I’d help if I could. Any advice for starting on YouTube?
Comments like this remind me of how spoiled I was by my college network. It was before any non-geeks (and many geeks) had USB drives, but we had super fast internet access and even faster intranet; DirectConnect and various IM solutions were how people exchanged media.
I really wouldn't be surprised if some three letter agency hasn't shown up to every one of the major chip manufactures out there and forced them to install backdoors for them.
Maybe the Ritz Carlton is a little excessive but I've seen a lot of companies that deny international business class flights for anyone below the director level even when I know many coworkers who regularly fly business class for personal vacations. Your analogy breaks down a little because if I'm traveling for work then I can't imagine being required to pay for the trip myself. However if I was traveling there on vacation, I can imagine a world where I'd splurge. Do you think the company should pay in that case? Or is their value less about being cheap more than it is about not being excessive?
Maybe youtube streaming is the answer, produce unedited streams some time when you feel like it, hire an editor or edit yourself if you have the time to get the highlights and it might also help grow your youtube audience which will bring in some passive income.

I agree twitch isn't sustainable or even good for anyone. I've been caught in it and quite addicted for the past year, finding in it another form of escapism that's in my opinion more harmful than youtube. On youtube eventually I run out of stuff and grow bored for a while. On twitch that rarely happens, mainly because it's more engaging to watch something live than a youtube highlight of the game, I can interact with chat live and backseat the gamers even though I'm ignored most of the time that's more engaging than passively watching a youtube video where I can provide no input.
Diagnosed with ADHD at age 8, able to make it through school but struggling at work. Fired last Tuesday. My plan now is better treatment, mindset, and work environment. One problem is stimulants mess with my heart. Does anyone have any advice? Does modafinil work? Would appreciate some advice from people in tech with this problem, thank you.
Same here with XDA II. Something really ironic now that I think of it is that they shipped with ARM chips made by Intel.
The majority of companies I have worked for allow you to take unpaid time off. Maybe not to the point of 1/4th work, but you can pretty realistically get a 4 day work week this way.
Singer-songwriter, and former free medical clinic employee Charles "Charlie" Manson, who wrote at least one song eventually recorded by the Beach Boys, died earlier today.

Despite not being present at the scene of any of the crimes, Manson, a victim of America's "cradle-to-prison pipeline" starting at age 5 when his parents were both incarcerated, and was allegedly raped at a reform school, was convicted on seven charges of first-degree murder. The prosecutors also conceded that Mr. Manson never directly instructed anybody to commit the murders, yet he was sentenced to death.

Manson, who earned a following preaching a unique, persuasive self-made philosophy based partly on the Bible, Dale Carnegie and the Beatles, has remained as perhaps the most popular and controversial criminal in the United States in the 20th Century.

Sounds exactly like a deep bureaucracy at work! How do they even sit and design such systems and who signs off on such designs? It’s as if the company that prides itself for tech has mostly incompetent people with no real world experience or real world information gathering skills.
Total opposite experience. Fantastic interviews that didn’t result in an offer but I was invited to a follow up conversation with the recruiter sharing some of the details of my interviewers’ feedback and a disconnect between my salary requirements and the level corresponding with my experience. I was invited to apply again and I may well do so.

> I used to do a lot of gliding and the most powerful aircraft routinely flown was a Piper Pawnee (175 kW / 235 hp engine, in contrast to say c. 120 kW / 160 hp for a Cessna 172), used as a glider aerotow – and even then most of the time we had [electric] winch launches.

Yeah I mean that's a good encapsulation of what I'm saying: the working aircraft have more power, but the cheap ones are mopeds in comparison. I guess maybe it is mostly the fuel economy though but it generally seems like moonies and other high-performance aircraft probably have much higher insurance/etc. It's cheap to insure your honda accord, you're not going to get yourself in trouble with 1.8L. The FAA is probably happier too.

Diesel could reduce the costs a lot, the DA42 (twin) burns 8 gal/hr, around the same as a C-172, and loiters at 3.2 GPH. Runs on Jet A too (diesel can run on kerosene). I generally think having more modern more advanced aircraft in general could help, the GA fleet is obsolescent and there's no money to replace anything, it's just 70s era engine designs and airframes because that's when the world stopped turning (apart from like, aviation schools and military).
Wow that is disappointing.

Can you elaborate? Everyone here is calling it stupid but I don't really understand why. I thought it was retired due to expenses, NASA defunding or something like that.
It is also worth noting that the location of the shipwreck, at the bottom of Lake Mjøsa at 410 meters deep, may have played a role in its preservation. The cold, oxygen-poor waters at the bottom of the lake may have helped to slow down the decomposition process, potentially allowing the shipwreck to remain intact for centuries.
There are very strict rules for any regulated firm about the provenance of the funds, ultimate beneficiaries, client-assumed risk, KYC, etc.

These are not only for customer protection, but anti money laundering as well.

Small regulators often overlook the client risk part so as to attract foreign money (that's why most of these regulators will be OK with little to no restriction of derivatives). The anti money laundering part though is very important for these small regulators as they could be fined internationally and don't want the bad publicity.

You cannot just "accept money and trust its from a legitimate source".

> You could make a battle royal game well where people start taking damage when they are 100 units away from the center of the map.

So... You have some meaning there, don't you? Something beyond the values true or false? Does true mean "is safe" or "is taking damage"? Wouldn't something that actually says what you mean be a lot clearer? More direct? Fewer ideas between the expression and the meaning? Less abstract?

> If exposing booleans lets people write simpler code then it makes sense to expose it instead of forcing complexity onto everything.

Why do you think it's more complex to eliminate a semantic step?

Your last paragraph is... very weird. Do you think languages are required to privilege Boolean over any other 2-type, such that only Booleans are allowed to map to those values in machine code? Not every language is as poorly designed as C. You're not wrapping Booleans, you're creating new types which the compiler gives the exact same representation as Booleans get.

And for what it's worth, processors don't understand zero and one. They're mechanistic circuits that operate on combinations of high and low voltages. Zero and one are interpretations added on top of what's going on. If it's easier to think of high voltage as one and low voltage as zero, maybe it's even easier to think of them as "safe" and "taking damage".
Random does not prevent cheating. Cheating happens because students know the problem style ahead of time. It’s like doing leet code, vs knowing the question and then redoing it with a slightly different question
It also doesn't support very common CPUs like the Intel i5 that are still being sold today and included in new PCs.

Maybe not state-of-the-art top-of-the-line PCs, but PCs that people are buying today. PCs people will be getting for Christmas. That's not a question of 'supporting old stuff forever'.

If it was an old Core2 Duo, discontinued in 2012, it kinda makes sense that they might not bother to support that past Win10. But a PC can easily last 10 years, and still work fine if you've got enough RAM and drive space. So there are new PCs being bought today that may be stuck on Windows 10 for the next decade or more (unless 12 fixes that).

Given that the Fed refused to grant licenses to those narrow banks, with no real justification, those CBDCs seem unlikely to happen.
I disagree. It might feel like that but I don't think that's true, talking from personal experience. I mostly watch hearthstone streamers and when they're streaming something else their viewership does indeed drop but that doesn't mean I unfollow, just switch streams since there's 10 other options at any given time. I will come back to their stream or check them out again eventually because I'm not really committed to any particular one, I even sometimes have 2-3 streams open and switch every few minutes.

I know, it fucks up my time and attention span and it's not good for me but if I'm representative then they have nothing to worry about. I think they're mostly scared to even experiment because they know they're small and are too afraid to rock the boat

Imagine company gives $100/night allowance for hotel, but we can make thought experiment and say that allowance is $0 (and $100/night is included in salary instead).

That makes travel allowance a part of your paycheck, and all expected travel expense is loaded upfront in your salary.

then it becomes up to you - whether you go to luxury hotel for a business trip, or a medium range. Company becomes indifferent to your choices, and it becomes your choice how much to spend.

what would you choose this time?

Almost every technical fact in that post is wrong.

- The LiIon batteries in phones cannot be charged to 5V. going above 3.7v or 4.2V (depending on battery chemistry) will permanently damage battery and/or will catch it on fire.

- If the battery's internal resistance is 1 ohm, it means it is very bad and should be thrown away. A good battery's internal resistance is 0.05 - 0.001 ohm range.

- Because of that, when charging batteries, you cannot connect it to power adapter directly -- with internal resistance that low, it will try to draw tens of amperes and will overload power adapter and/or overhead and catch fire.

- That's why cell phone has a complex charger chip, which regulates input voltage into whatever voltage/current is required for battery. In most phones it uses DC/DC convertor for higher efficiency/less heat dissipation and has temperature sensor to prevent battery overheating.

- This means all the graphs in the post are junk. (And in the retrospect, it is kinda clear... the second one says 5A / 25W if charging a fully discharged phone. As many adapters are only rated 1-2 amps and cables have similar rating, having this current will destroy the power adapter and melt the cable. And many people charged the phone from 0% before, many times, and there were no significant heating compared to say charging from 40%.
"Ways we can verify it's you" seems to be limited to 1 email and 1 phone number now.

Not much way to avoid that if they ever want to live in the US or any country with an extradition treaty.

Presumably they’ll be compensated for their time in prison.

And as non-violent offenders they’ll likely be in some minimum security prison for the years they spend incarcerated.
