I don't think it's a very good argument, in CS, you can build isomorphism between many things, especially when both terms are vaguely defined.
I was under the impression that boosting follower only posts does not work (via the API too, actually, it returns a HTTP error code if you try to do so), but then again the server code may be modified, or people can just screenshot.

I think this is simply a social problem — when sending a post to your followers, you have to trust that they do not share your post. The same applies in private messaging. You have to trust the recipients.
> implications to everyone else

What are the implications? He's an executive. He negotiated an employment contract with early termination provisions, as is pretty common at the executive level. I don't see that this particular situation has much implication for regular non-executive employees.
It's a feeling built up over years, from a gestalt experience... I wasn't keeping notes. I don't know...some places I might look to research that further are: copyright law / DMCA, encryption law and export regulation, COVID policies, country / company blacklists, crypto law -- but without finding all the little moments in my past where I saw such and such a news happen in USA, then later on such and such similar legislation / policy happen in EU, in East Asian democracies, in Indo Pacific...I couldn't provide you who is exactly on that list for sure. Just a feeling it's there tho. I'm sure it seems probably not very convincing to you...that's OK, you have your own experience and memory. This is mine.

and from a CNN article

>Genetic genealogy helped investigators identify the suspect, a source with knowledge of the case said. DNA found in Idaho was taken through a public database to find potential matches for family members, the source said. Once potential family matches were found, subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to the identification of Kohberger, according to the source.

Most of these aren't directly about any specific technology, SICP itself containing general programming concepts but using Scheme being an exception. The Phoenix Project and A Philosophy of Software Design are good examples of my point, absolutely nothing in them is technology specific. TPP is about project management and organization more than software, just written in a context of IT system development. Philosophy is about developing software more directly, but while the examples are in Java nothing about it is tied to Java specifically.
This article doesn’t elaborate and I’m not convinced their source(s) are accurate. There is a competing “source” from another news organization that is claiming they caught this guy when his phone pinged a “smart device” (Alexa or similar) and its MAC address was logged.

However from other cases where genealogy databases are used, typically what happens is once a DNA profile is developed, it can be compared with other entries in the public databases. If there are family members that exist in the database, you can develop a family tree from the known person and attempt to identify the target from public records. Typically the more distant the relative is from the target, the harder it is to come up with a family tree.

AFAIK law enforcement uses publicly available databases and not the private Ancestry or 23andMe DBs, which are thought to be much larger.

In this case, the employee was an executive himself, who usually is the one wielding that power against non-executive employees.

You did phrase it rather poorly, because what you’re describing here is an employee who has _far_ more rights than an employer. Really the main unique aspect of employment law in the US (compared to Europe at least) is that both parties are allowed to terminate the employment agreement at will.

> As history shows us, agriculture for profit is far cheaper and more effective than collective farms.

I doubt the accuracy of this statement. But I'll make a largely-unsubstantiated claim of my own, nonetheless: for-profit agriculture has substantially increased the cost of for-profit healthcare by focusing on high-profit foods that are highly processed and addictive instead of foods that are actually good for us to consume.

The information on sodium in this article is kind of garbled and unscientific. The issues with sodium are due not so much to absolute quantity but rather to osmolality. As a practical matter, if you consume more sodium (within reason) then drink more water to balance it out.

Looking at the negative opinions on mastodon , my take is that it’s only bad for writers (some may say spammers) who seem to want to subject the world to their writing (perhaps spam) and not leave a choice to the user. I prefer to keep things somewhat as they are, if I want to find some spam, I can go looking for it, if I want to find a blogger, same, it’s just a matter of looking at the local and global fields and maybe public figures should simply publish their id’s in their web page for people to find. Not having a stream filled with spam or stuff I’m simply not interested in (I can look at the local and global streams elsewhere) is what I would call efficiency in this type of app.

As someone who learned the language in about 4 months, my advice is to saturate yourself with conversation as much as possible without worrying about grammatical or structural correctness at first, just learn to talk and use as many words as possible for essential conversation without worrying how well you say everything. Immerse yourself in doing this as much as possible.

Ideally, if you work remotely, move to latin america for a few months. Otherwise, find a digital (app-based maybe) or social way of doing the same where you are. Also, suppress all embarrassment about saying anything incorrectly, just get the essential ability to communicate ideas across first while you converse as much as possible. Refinement can come later, the first thing is to learn the broad strokes rapidly.

My two cents from experience learning two additional languages fluently.

> I want team members to feel like their reward for performance is the opportunity to participate. I don't want them to ever believe that they can succeed if their team fails. I think this suggests that we need to shift the focus from rewarding top performers to managing out under-performers. In fact, maybe it's time to revise our ideas about the modern employment agreement. No one is going to work for the same company for twenty years and retire with an engraved gold watch and a pension. In this fast moving employment market, why do we still act like it's such a big deal to let someone go?

Similar to the "Netflix culture" where they talk about building a world class team.

I really like this approach from the outside.

Not because I am cold and heartless but because I have witnessed every company I have been at suffer from poor performers that are not cut quick enough. They inevitably leave or have to be fired long after their issues are identified but not corrected.

I think people need the opportunity to grow and fix problems but once the problem has been identified it is time for quick action before they drag more people down. But this also assumes competent management and caring employers (caring but not ruinous empathy - could be expressed in dollars in severance package).
He did negotiate a salary, such a large drop didn’t need to be explicitly negotiated as that’s covered by constructive termination. Which is why it was reversed on appeal, this isn’t some odd edge case.
Sure, for aggregating many small databases this makes sense. Disaggregation of storage and compute has been popular at many times in database history, the tradeoffs are well-understood. Some databases are not particularly performance sensitive and it eliminates resource waste from resource overhang when databases only need fractions of server. For single large databases that occupy many servers, the economics tend to follow the size of the cluster which can be significantly smaller with direct-attached storage. Scaling storage independent of compute introduces some interesting edge cases operationally because they are intrinsically coupled to some extent — scaling one creates resource pressures and bottlenecks elsewhere.

An alternative model to disaggregation that can produce a similar dynamic balancing of compute to storage without sacrificing bandwidth in scale-out systems is to use a dynamic mix of heterogeneous nodes. The storage is still tightly coupled to the compute but the ratio of compute to storage of the aggregate system can be quickly adjusted on the fly by adjusting the mix of server types. I haven’t seen a lot of work on heterogeneous cluster architectures in a long time — it was impractical when database clusters were capex — but it is a proven model albeit complex to implement, and easier to deploy today thanks to the cloud.

Many of the emerging data problems at the edge look like heterogeneous cluster architecture problems too if you squint, so it likely has value beyond the data center. The edge has a lot of surprisingly-shaped problems that don’t fit any of our current tools e.g. some of the most extreme scale-up database problems I’ve seen in any context.

To put that in context, snow/water ratios are normal about 10:1, so if what was snowing you’d expect close to a 1.5 feet to 3 feet of snow- that’s a lot, as my snow shoveling back is telling me.

If my quick internet search is correct, SF will be getting well over 10% of its average annual rainfall in just a day or two. Another way of saying a lot.

Also, the water doesn’t just stay there, it flows, and it makes soil looser and heavier. 3” in the hills can mean many feet of extra water in valleys/flood plains and can cause mud slides.

In others words, again, that’s a lot of rain.

I'm not a youtuber, but I'm trying to understand the RPM.

Based on my understanding, RPM is directly proportional to the amount of money you make.

So, how does a lot of views from India cause a lower RPM?

In the post the author even says this:

> When I see my RPM drop suddenly, it is usually because my videos are being watched a lot in India

Like, say you have a billion views, and 200 million of those views were from India. Would your revenue be higher if those 200 Indian views never happened and your total views was only 800 million instead?

Why does Indian viewers cause this? I mean, they too see ads, right? Or is it because in India it costs less (??) to put up an ad?

It's less outrageous than it sounds, just a face reading and one judge's interpretation of the law - the linked article does a poor job of providing context.

>An employee is constructively discharged when his employer, rather than discharging him directly, inten-tionally creates a work atmosphere so intolerable that he is forced to quit involuntarily. Kirsch v. Fleet St., Ltd., 148 F.3d 149, 161 (2d Cir. 1998); Chertkovav. Connecticut Gen. Life Ins. Co., 92 F.3d 81, 89 (2d Cir. 1996). We have explained that working conditions are intolerable when, viewed as a whole, they are "so difficult or unpleasant that a reasonable person in the employee's shoes would have felt compelled to resign." Chertkova, 92 F.3d at 89 (quotations omitted).

Using the above framework, the judge determined that a reasonable person would not find a 150k/yr salary "to be sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of the victim's employment and create an abusive work environment." when 150k/yr is a really good salary. Reasonable person tests are always a judgment call. I disagree with this judgment call, but I don't think it's an unprofessional one.

> because what you’re describing here is an employee who has _far_ more rights than an employer

How so? What rights do they have that the employer doesn't?

From what I've gathered here, the employer can change their salary at will. The employee can't turn around and do that. The employer could presumably change their location of work, their hours, or even the job they've been hired to do, at will.

This would all be protected against in the EU.

Keeping in mind that I agree with you that I phrased my original statement poorly: more importantly, how do these additional rights that you're talking about translate to benefits for the employee?

There are several reasons; here’s a few, some US specific:

1. While the overall population may not have increased significantly in some countries, people have been migrating to cities from rural areas. This influx puts price pressure on urban housing. The US, for instance, likely has enough housing overall, it’s just spatially misallocated. A derelict, vacate home in Detroit doesn’t help someone in SF.

2. Many forms of denser housing are now illegal or have been torn down. Boarding houses are gone for instance. Boarders now compete for studios or one bedroom apts.

3. Smaller family sizes. It’s no longer common for a six person family to live in a three bedroom house. This used to be commonplace. Those six people are now two couples with a child each.

4. Related to point three, governments have made it illegal to reconfigure or replace larger homes with smaller homes more appropriate for smaller families or empty nesters. Think of the retired Boomer living in the 6 bedroom single family home, or the childless couple in a three bedroom condo with two of bedrooms being an office or guest room. Closely related, people often demand more space than they did 80 years ago.

5 This a big one: higher urban wages. After decades of wage stagnation, wages have been going up, especially in places like SF, NYC, and Boston. This is a GOOD thing. Not so good, is that these same places have kept their housing supply relatively static, forcing those with good jobs to compete amongst themselves for housing. The old joke: VC $$$ ——> Startup —-> Developer ——> Landlord, has a lot of truth to it.
These days, skepticism is always in order.

Some truths need to be handled with care, and indelicate handling will cause unwanted angry attention, not the truth itself.
