To be fair, because of at will employment, you mostly have no protection against discharge, constructive or direct, other than specific negotiate contractual provisions, or protected class discrimination, or some retaliation protections. But, the doctrine of constructive discharhe means when you do have protection against discharge, your employer imposing intolerable working conditions so you quit instead of directly firing you isn’t an effective hack around them.
Besides farmers' markets, which the others have mentioned, there are smaller produce markets in a lot of areas (they tend to be in strip malls, at least near me). Their whole shtick is having good produce, including berries.
What Fediverse projects have something analogous to G+ Circles? Based on some quick searching, the only one I could find is Bonfire's "Boundaries": https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/introducing_boundaries/

>Boundaries go beyond the typical permissions on social media (i.e. who can see your content) and include a long list of verbs in order to represent all kinds of meaningful interactions and collaboration that should be possible on a real social network.

It doesn't appear to be. The email's intention appears to be accusing Google of poaching browser developers to build a competing browser to Safari. It's less about price and more about Apple changing their strategy if they conclude that a company they think is a partner has designs on competing directly with one of their key application offerings.

Which, of course, they eventually did.

If anything, I take this email to be indicative of how companies can lose sight of the effect on their actual employees of market strategization. Jobs isn't worried about having to pay his team more here; he's worried that he's about to see the world's largest online advertiser launch a browser that could cut Apple's control of their users' online experience out from under them. If anything, I don't think they're really thinking about how much people need to get paid (which is, indeed, a problem).

fighting poaching through collusion is functionally equivalent to wage suppression. you're mythologizing. these are billionaire businessmen, they fully grasp the intent and result of their actions. wage suppression is the whole game whether legal or illegally played. that's their profit.
Two years back I started a podcast[0]. By all "viral" metrics pov, it is a failure - didn't get thousands of downloads, no first page hits etc. But I became a better conversationalist.

Now whenever I interview people in my professional life (I'm a CTO and have to interview people for top level positions), they routinely tell me, they had their best interview. For long, I couldn't trace it back to the podcast. After many people compliment me, I asked one what made it a better interview. He said, you let me explain my project and you listened. That is when it clicked. Those are the skills I learned as a podcast host.

I paused the podcast last year, because I got covid and for other personal reasons. With this feedback, I'm going to restart the podcast.

Not all creative projects have to make money directly. There could be 2nd order benefits, which we may not see immediately.

You make very strong claims about things we know very little about. It's far from clear that we have reached a ceiling. Who can predict how systems with 10x the parameters and as-yet-undiscovered deep learning models will behave?

We don't understand how humans do logic. It's entirely possible that whatever structure in the human brain is responsible for handling logic can emerge in a neural network.

If we're talking about what it takes to get to true AGI in the near future, then I agree that a pure neural network approach might not cross the finish line first. I think Stuart Russell made this point in an interview, basically saying that a neural network is a very inefficient computational model and that we could do the same thing much more efficiently if we had the right "good old fashioned AI" algorithm. But fundamentally a neural network is just computing a function so there's nothing in principle preventing a neural network from doing whatever a symbolic system does. It's mostly a matter of efficiency and hardware availability.

It makes no sense when you frame it that way of course haha, but it's only possible to look at it that way now that we've been working for them for several years.

When I started raising prices, taking a medium/large sized job from them was an huge risk. If I hadn't started hiking the prices when I did, We probably would have folded later that year when we did a much larger job for them, if I hadn't been stockpiling the extra cash from their smaller jobs.

It was an enormous existential risk early on when I had less capital to play with, now in a weird way I can look at it how you say: The company is loaning itself 50% to make 100% later.

That said, fair's fair so I'd still honor the offer if they asked: I don't/can't quote other clients that much, so if they wanted to pay on reasonable terms I would charge them reasonable prices.
I concur with your assessment of handheld transceivers as a way to report emergencies. But if you end up somewhere off the trail, wouldn't it still be useful after you use your Garmin (or, in my case, a SARSAT PLB) to request assistance, to be able to communicate with SAR once they're in the area? I vaguely recall a situation like that in Oregon.

This sort of thing doesn't require a fancy set, though. Something tiny and crappy like UV-3R would do just fine and is much more compact to carry than your typical handheld.

"Modern" REST generally disposes of things like hypertext and representations as being too complex, instead leaning on things Swagger/OpenAPI to declare an IDL equivalent, so you're getting effectively an RPC system with some of the guarantees you'd get from REST.

Azure's APIs are more RESTful than most: they actually bother using resource URLs as identifiers.

I've never understood what people find so hard about HATEOAS. It's like people have never interacted with a HTML form or followed links to stuff, or have difficulty figuring out how webpages can consist of multiple linked resources.

This is like saying that an employer can't enforce an arbitrary dress code, because you could always quit rather than comply. Well, yeah, sure.
I have links to this entire saga bookmarked and send them out whenever someone complains about software engineers being overpaid and entitled. At the end of the day they are still the labor class, and just like in any other industry it's the executives/investors/shareholders at these large companies who are enjoying most of the benefits of their work. Even after the poaching lawsuit and settlement practices like non-competes (without garden leave), non-solicitation clauses, salary exempt status, unpaid overtime and unlimited unpaid on-call are all still way too common in software.
Unfortunately, my in-laws did one of these services, which means my children are now potentially identifiable to some future unfriendly regime. This is a disaster for human rights advocates of the future.
I did try to evaluate again and I think the biggest deal breaker that would prevent me from using it is the added complexity and boilerplate. That impression is definitely amplified be me not having practical experience with it, nevertheless, it's plenty more code to do the same thing and extra effort to split the side effects from pure operations, going out of your way to make the data processing pure, which adds boilerplate to the code and also some runtime overhead as well. Imperative feels like the shortest distance between 2 points.

I feel like I would be more likely to get burned by the above point (complexity and boilerplate) vs. a mutated state bug or a "gorilla is holding the banana" problem, especially considering that the former is an ongoing effort and the latter is things you only need to deal with at times, if ever.

> Although many readers may not remember this, bank ATMs used to be free as a matter of policy, through approximately the 1990s.

This isn't clear to me. Is it for interbank transactions or is this includes intrabank transactions? It's confusing for me since that nearly all banks here have free intra- and interbank withdrawal*. Are US banks really that greedy?

* It may be indirectly charged by lower interest rates, I'm not sure, but there's no direct fees collected.

Edit: wow, US banks are greedy. This is the first time that I've heard about domestic own-bank fees (separate from ATM operators' fees) for inquiring (not even withdrawing) your account. Silver lining is that intrabank transactions are still free, which is okay I guess but but definitely weird for me.

Can't you disallow external links that will redirect to a dynamic error page?

Things like HTTP Referrer, coupled with a set of rolling dynamic headers so actual site visitors aren't impacted, or significant rate limiting, or a simple non-malicious HTTP widget injection that sends a simple message, stop the unauthorized hotlinking.

You could even take it a step further by evaluating at the packet header level but that's a bit of a setup.

Yeah there are vanishingly few online queer spaces not on Discord for pretty much this reason. The ability for server admins to bring down the banhammer and actually moderate bad behavior rather than leaving it to central platform moderators that do nothing about all but the most blatant harassment.

Semi-public semi-searchable discourse is really quite nice when your aim is to not have the spotlight on you. Because there are unfortunately people that actively search for people to target and being on Discord makes that in practice impossible.

The correct solution for cache busting is generally to put a low TTL on the resource in question. Adding random crap in the end is only good if you're dealing with utterly broken caches or your webserver does some tremendously stupid header rewriting. In my experience, when people resort to that, it's down to a lack of understanding of HTTP itself.

YMMV, however.
Creating their own browser was part of the larger picture: unshackling forward development on the web from the whims of a company that saw the browser as a secondary offering behind their operating system and desktop application platforms.

There were a lot of cool ideas in the pipeline (particularly from Mozilla) that were dead in the water if IE didn't buy in. The modern state of the web is partially due to the fact that this kind of backroom dealing finally snapped the market out of IE's hands.

At the time of these emails, getting Apple on board with supporting modern features instead of them deciding, like Microsoft, that the web wasn't important was key to that strategy. The kind of damage Apple could have done would have been to forge their own path or to combine forces with Microsoft in the decision-making bodies about web tech.

[Edit: I misunderstood what the parent comment meant. My apologies. My original comment's text is left intact below, but it is inherently misdirected because of the misunderstanding. It still can be, of course, argued that a proposed solution is not realistically attainable - it's quite a tectonic shift in the collective psyche. But the parent is correct.]

I'd disagree. It's fundamentally a [techno]logical problem - a flawed design that only "works" because it's not happening at scale. The pen is mightier than a sword, and ink lasts longer than memory. Those millennia-old maxims still stand very true.

It guaranteed to get only "worse" as the system scales up and gains more "bad" actors that don't conform to the behavior. And it never will be solved socially (only mended) just like email spam was never socially solved, despite giant collective efforts like RBLs, community spam filters and IP reputations. Only shoved under the rug or plastered over, to be repeatedly revealed when a next drama happens.

I'd be happy to be wrong (if you know that I am - please give me an example), but I think that social and legal methods are never the solution, they don't ever fix anything (unless we're talking about humanity radically changing - then, maybe). They provide certain safeguards against honest people not accidentally screwing up, they have chilling effects, and they provide some recourse after the trust is broken - but they never fix the core issue.

Sometimes there is no way to change the design. Like - as a possibly silly example - we can't fix theft or murder, so those are social problems because we don't have technologies (such as achieving post-scarcity or immortality) to fix them. But the information security here is essentially math problem and it can be fixed.

Of course, whenever it will be is a matter of cost. Chances are, no one would ever do it, because it'll be too complicated (=costly) and the social approach would be good enough. Like how the world can't even switch to the IPv6. But, again, something like that doesn't really solve anything for real, merely lowers the frequency of occurrences to a tolerable level.

I do both.

Publicly, I write a blog[0] mostly about random technology things. I don’t think I’ve ever published anything too controversial, but I’m also very privileged and have a tiny audience comprised mostly by people I know. I do this primarily because I enjoy it. The main con I’ve experienced so far has been pressure to write things worth reading.

Privately, I journal as a form of self-reflection, something I’ve done on and off for a few years now, both independently and in conjunction with therapy. It’s been helpful having a space to ask myself embarrassing questions without any repercussions. The main con has been the guilt I feel when I neglect this habit.
