I don't see much functional difference between outcomes of committing suicide because you were blackmailed regarding a fake but believable rape accusation vs say blackmailed because someone found out you grew a bad plant. In the end though suicide seems like an honorable pick if the binary option is that or revealing life-or-death secrets to the enemy.

The US has such insane conspiracy laws frankly it isn't much effort for a few motivated individuals let alone a state actor to blackmail someone for the worst of false offenses using some corrupt "witnesses." Maybe before the war on drugs it was easier to blackmail someone with real offenses than fake ones but nowadays it's probably easier to manufacture them TBH.

It is similar with remote work. During covid it suddenly became possible. Productivity sometimes even increased, because people had fewer sick days (in open spaces viruses spread like wildfire). Now that covid is practically over, many companies are pushing people to return to the office. It does not matter if the team is international, so everyone only sees their colleagues on the screen. It is important for that screen to be located in the office, not at the place you choose.

Yes, life could be better, but it is not, for reasons that mostly do not make sense.

> The erosion of public trust in the institution that is the SCOTUS is based purely on populism movements of late. Without going into specifics - the particular issues that are said to be causing this alleged erosion of trust are simply not Constitutional issues.

WDYM? Is the SCOTUS hearing that new york gun law case, when the gun law itself was annulled anyways so the case is basically moot, not an issue? Or SCOTUS hearing the precursor case of limiting EPA regulation before the EPA has regulated anything? Or SCOTUS's multiple really significant decisions passed through the shadow docket, aka no reasoning provided?

This doesn't seem like people being mad because populationist reasoning. It reads like people being mad because SCOTUS is acting spuriously and is deviating from established law theory but there are no ways to hold them to account for doing so.

It sure seems to me like a scary fringe behavior, that lumping so many multipolar entities- with a variety of journalists, editors, & owners- together, and branding them all corrupt, all bad, all part of a conspiracy to deceive & propogandize, is a terrible terrible case of projection from the conspiratorial minded.

There definitely is a pretty paved road mainstream, mostly to me embodied by the tv news, and it tends towards banal pro-corporate mediocrity. I'm uninspired by it. But it still seems mostly based in truth, not to be heavily omitting the real stories, to be basically adequate & a product of the low engagement mass-mediaform that it is, that is it's audience.

I agree one should not be fired for not attending a team-builder, but one should not be surprised if that reflects on your ability to, frankly, be socially acceptable and either be human to coworkers OR be able to put up with benign, if banal, activities occasionally as a signal that you are socially competent. Social competency is important as a leader or manager, particularly.

Besides: if you actually verify `git` signatures, you can count yourself in a club of less than a dozen people who bother. That isn't to say that you're wrong to, just that an optional signature is, to a first approximation, as useful as not signing at all.

https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/File/3806/Transformi...

I found that link here: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/12/us/minneapolis-city-council-r...

The actual relevant bit is, "[Be it resolved that] the City Council [of Minneapolis] will commence a year long process of community engagement, research, and structural change to create a transformative new model for cultivating safety in our city." There is nothing in there about funding levels or even the structure or presence of the department. I don't think you can characterize that as a resolution "to completely defund and replace the police department."

> As a side note, calling Mayor Frey a conservative is hilarious in the US

Everything is relative. Within the politics of the city of Minneapolis, Frey's positions are pretty far on the conservative end of the spectrum, which is still to the left of national politics, yes. He opposes police reform, he vetoed full-time bus lanes over the recommendation of the designers, he opposes rent control, big business owners fund his campaigns, his biggest wins are in the richest areas of the city. He wins thanks to Republican voters, who don't otherwise have a feasible candidate to vote for here.
Having an app key issued counts as permission in my book. Subscription refunds should be limited to the period during which service was not provided.

And good luck negotiating anything with a billion dollar company, they'll be happy to stiff you if they want to but in the meantime you are beholden to the terms of the contract. This because they typically have legal staff and you probably don't so there is a huge asymmetry in any kind of legal tussle with them.
>Is there a nuance to this publishing process that makes this make sense?

This can sometimes be an artifact of submitting for peer review where tables and figures are uploaded as separate documents than the manuscript and then combined into a single document. I think this makes it easier to format the tables and figures for a journal.

> The important thing about a "limited company" is precisely that the CEO and all of the other staff aren't legally equivalent to the company. That would be a partnership.

> This, on the other hand, is a serious problem. It's why it's important for SBF and anybody who can be proved to have responsible knowledge of the fraud at FTX to go to jail for a long time.

In case of corporations problem is how influential they are. How they are able to capture regulators, bribe politicians to deregulate and how their size will cause rest of economy to collapse if they get penalties they deserve.

Only time I have seen any real action taken, was when rich investors got scammed. Especially if done by someone outside of elites. Stealing from lower/middle class OK, maybe you get small fine. Taking something from billionaire? You will be astonished how hard book can hit, when thrown with enough political/financial motivation.

> But in general power and money make you above the law

It's capitalism, people with capital make the rules.

> and voters are unwilling to take enough of an active informed involvement to fix this.

The problem is that to be informed in such cases it takes lots of time, money and effort. A second neverending second job and it only takes one mistake to get screwed. In most cases even government agencies that are supposed to oversee it, can't do so because corporations do a lot to obfuscate, hide and misdirect(also agencies funding gets cut so they can't go after expensive targets). How you are expecting individual to do something a dedicated/paid/staffed agency can't do. Especially when media corporations/politicians/NGO(another can of worms) actively lie on corporations behalf.

Also are you expect regulators to retire with government pay? They see what is going inside of corporations and they want their share.
Personally I support this. If they're cutting their staff, they don't need to be spending on a program that gives away more than it brings in.

I'm assuming they rationally did the math to see if the program was a net contributor to bottom line or not. (That's the sort of rigor i've come to expect from a company like Amazon)

XMPP, to my knowledge, pioneered the concept of a micro-kernel standard with feature extensions and profiles to indicate standard sets of extension support. It was, and is, a great idea for many standards. Unfortunately, a number of servers and clients ignored the profiles and so things went the way they did. XEPs were a great idea, in my opinion.

Even if a particular law has been annulled out of fear of a SCOTUS decision - that does not mean SCOTUS should not take up the case. After all, people were harmed by the law, and the law possibly was never Constitutional in the first place.

We cannot have a system where a Federal, State or Local government passes Unconstitutional laws on purpose, oppresses a population and only repeals the law when there's a real risk of a SCOTUS decision.

States like NY and CA have a history of repealing & replacing laws (with similar but slightly different laws) just to keep SCOTUS out of things (one cannot just take a case directly to SCOTUS after all).

The EPA case was whether or not government agencies and departments have the power to make up and enforce regulations on their own. The Constitution only provides Congress with the ability to create new laws and regulations, which is why this case reached SCOTUS.

The EPA was not a target, although they were the vehicle for that case. The decision from SCOTUS provides guidance to all lower courts in the nation. The importance here, is a lower court can short-circuit a complaint based off this guidance from SCOTUS. So next time some random government agency makes up a new law and tries to enforce it - a lower court can stop it quickly instead of a case having to make its way up to SCOTUS again (because that court can reference the decision and say this is Unconstitutional - getting a case in front of SCOTUS can take years or longer).

These are exactly the types of cases SCOTUS is supposed to take, rule, and provide guidance for all of the other courts in the nation.

Populism is exactly the reason people are upset with both. "Guns are bad" and "EPA is good" are emotional, populist arguments that count on people's misunderstanding or ignorance of how government, the Constitution, law and SCOTUS are supposed to operate.
No, El Salvador switched from wire transfers to BTC because the president wanted to.

In this case you'd make the approach more internal to you, your service/product, your perspectives, and so on:

- You aim for what seems like a reasonable standard of quality in the first place

- You actively gather & respond well to customer feedback. Provide a personal touch if it helps you gather feedback & deliver quality.

- You develop a superior perspective on the dynamics of your own product: How & when it works well

- You start to place your customers into theoretical groups

- You test the dynamics (price reaction, product change reaction) of each group

- You rank the groups by most-interesting and refine the ranking over time, asking how this information informs your pricing & development plan moving forward

- You tighten this decision-making loop, making it fairly frequent (usually weekly at least) & ask how it's working out for you, and what needs to change

You can be doing this with < 10 customers if you want. Good luck to you
That looks promising! Thank you for the reference.
