Consider:

You have access to many private company files. After you leave the company, the company is obligated to send you copies of all of the files because you may have linked to them. After all, you could have made personal copies of all of the files, so you should still retain access through links.

The other discussion is locked though.
The comment I would have to the author is this -- it is all well and good to demonstrate how difficult it is to opt out of marketing surveillance. Great. Completely on board. The question is, how did this make your experience of the park any better? Other than personal gratification of "yay this awkward face paint is stopping cameras from recognizing me", what is it, exactly, that you got that the other 50,000+ people in the park didn't get?

Because the completely opposite argument is much more compelling to the general public. Download this app, turn on your location data, and you get notifications for a little personal guided tour. Attach your payment information and you can mobile order food for a quick pickup and save time that you can spend going on the rides. Add your party contacts and you can set up fast-passes to jump the lines for your entire party all at once, again saving you time.

If the idea of opting out (which again, great, admirable, etc) doesn't come with a clear benefit, nobody will do it, and the paper attached gets into Howard-Hughes-level of data paranoia.
Most of the outdoor dining doesn't even need to be covered if its situated in a pedestrian area surrounded by tall buildings. Market Street in Charlottesville Virginia is exactly this, and is an excellent place to dine outside throughout most of the year - the surrounding buildings block wind and shade out bright sunlight. Of course there is rain, but that's maybe 10-20% of the year which depresses foot traffic already.

Did you read the entire piece?

"Earlier I mentioned a third position on the issues of determinism, free will, and moral responsibility: skeptical incompatibilism. The skeptical incompatibilist agrees with the libertarian that we are blameworthy for our actions only if we have free will in the requisite sense (the incompatibilist part). But, contra the libertarian, the skeptic concludes that we don’t have the requisite free will, or at least there is no persuasive evidence that we do. Although a minority view, skeptical incompatibilism has many eloquent defenders in contemporary moral philosophy. I have trouble seeing the case against it."

and

"Why, then, have so many thoughtful people invested so much intellectual energy in making the world safe for blame? Here are some possible explanations.

(i) We can’t not believe in free will, and hence in moral responsibility, because each person’s daily experience of life is as an agent. [...] The fact that we are all instinctive libertarians has given libertarian incompatibilism a free pass on the empirical front. If those instincts are impossible to dislodge—if they are the firm deliverances of ordinary experience—then some accommodation must be made. But if the predisposition to blame is no more than an instinct and habit, the argument for accommodation is not a moral one. [...] (ii) Even if conduct is not blameworthy, blame is an indispensable tool to control antisocial behavior. This justification does not rest on the moral desert of the party we blame. It rests on the social benefits that flow to the rest of us from locking up the morally blameless and throwing away the key. [...] (iii) Blaming others is a way to show respect for them. [...] (iv) Blame is here to stay, and if we can’t beat it, we might as well do what we can to civilize it."

I can't see how this can't be seen as anything except a hard refutation of the concept of blame as morally just, arguing instead that we continue to use it out of instinct and convenience even though it is objectively immoral to blame -- because free will does not exist or at least we cannot prove that it exists.
I can't think of a single famous software engineer that continuously redefined the entire industry, every single year. Like, some language designers and tooling creators have redefined the industry once a decade. But every year? For what definition of redefine does that apply?
From a Nondualist perspective, luck is just another thought construct. There is no difference between good and bad luck. Everything is determined by the law of karma. Rather than relying on luck, focusing on actions is a much better strategy.

Because most L9's at Google have created significant contributions to the industry, these are folks like David Patterson (created RISC), Rob Pike (created Golang) etc...

Foundational work that affects Google's bottom lines but also the rest of the industry. Its this work done earlier that even allowed these glorified managers to be employed and have their ridiculous salaries.

Its frankly shocking that some VP+ can come in and fire a Distinguished Engineer. Its the equivalent of pissing on the shoulder of a titan. Totally deplorable that this is allowed or tolerated.
I assume they'll eventually find use in aviation or maybe trucks and heavy machinery.

But for passenger cars this seems to be a lost cause. The tanks are huge, so in practice range of hydrogen cars isn't any better than BEV's.

The biggest pain of BEVs is lack of reliable public chargers everywhere. But there are far fewer hydrogen stations, and they aren't any easier to build and maintain! And you can't make high pressure hydrogen from a home outlet, so there isn't even a backup.

I saw some VPs and Directors let go as well. Frankly, the org chart still makes sense without them being present (all of their previous reports simply report now to who their manager used to be). Consider how deep the org chart has grown in a company like Google, and how it's probably not really necessary to have such depth. It's easy to rejigger the org chart by increasing the branch factor and decreasing the depth -- communication will be more efficient this way, and you cut costs as you have fewer total nodes to achieve the same number of actual people doing the work (vs people managing the people doing the work).

At least these higher-ups are gonna be OK, as they were making obscene amounts of money ($1M+/yr) and have all been in the industry for awhile, thus are well-situated financially. Every single one of them I know owns at least one home and routinely does all sorts of expensive traveling. Contrast that with laying off someone earlier in their career for whom a layoff might actually impose real financial hardships.

Some of their tracking is directly improving guest experiences in the parks though. Live data from magic bands helps with crowd control measures for example.

Sure, this is ultimately a business move, but it's not a manipulative tactic, it's actual product improvement. If you don't care for Disney to begin with that is fine, but I think the tracking absolutely can bring benefit to the entertainment value of the trip if you are a fan of the parks. I like having my ride photos automatically show up in my account and having my lunch pickup order come out with impeccable timing.

I'm not saying Disney doesn't also play psychological tricks to get you to buy more, and probably they are using personalized info for that. I'm just saying "it doesn't bring benefit unless your goal is to be sold things based on being calculated" is not entirely true either. It does improve things you are already paying for like how efficiently you can plan your activities each day in the parks.
I think they are FTEs for historical reasons. If they were to be spun up from scratch today as a new perk to be offered, I highly doubt that they would be anything other than contractors (like how the cafe staffs are run).

This is just absolutely awful. We all have now knowing that infinite economical growth is nothing but a delusion. Why can't the management and the share holder apply the same to the company and employee? It is simply not possible to expect human being to continuously grow without a limit. Once they reach the top level, what they should do is actually maintaining the same good output and run a marathon instead.

When I've prototyped in Python I mostly find myself using tuples, dictionaries, and lists. Generally the dicts and lists contain homogenous types but occasionally heterogenous types but they're really "variants" (variations on a theme). Writing the same types of programs in Rust usually proved straightforward by (ab)using the same basic types and operations on them. For handling the occasional heterogenous collection case, an enum of related variants sufficed and it wasn't a much slower effort than prototyping in Python would have been.

I would expect someone with more Rust experience than me (which is not much) to be at least as fast as I am with Python in Rust, especially if they know the tooling better. At least for these kinds of tasks.
I don't use Teams as a daily driver, but I would be a candidate for a paid upgrade pack that made it have the polish one expects from an app built by a public company. In particular, the emoji are terrible.

Yes, I agree that corporate businesses and the entertainment industry have broadly adopted acceptance of LGBTQ people. My point is that what counts as mainstream culture is still different in Florida and California. America is not a perfect homogenate.
Yeah its rare here that it goes on the paper receipt, I found that confusing in the US too because I had already paid, so do they take a second charge out for the tip afterwards?

I don't think I have signed a credit card slip in 10 years here in Australia and haven't even inserted my card in the last 5 - everything is tap and go!

I see that you're using the past tense there. "But what have they done for me lately?" L9 isn't a sinecure. It is a very highly compensated position, and the ongoing production from all of that compensation needs to be high.

But I think you missed the larger point, which is that, during a layoff, even good employees let go. When you let go X% of your workforce, that means you're letting go even good employees. And you're letting go roughly X% of people at all levels. Some L9s were gonna have to go, same as some L4s were gonna go. No one is immune from a layoff. Indeed having people that are immune is legally problematic.

When you do a layoff, you are accepting that you are potentially going to be letting anyone and everyone go. Yes, even high level long-tenured engineers.
This mindset destroys innovation because people are then afraid to try non core stuff.
The parent also says "what did this person do to redefine the industry this cycle?". How often are you expecting a person to redefine the industry?

Someone will kill their golden goose sooner or later. It's better if they kill it themselves and silently replace it with something else.
You can't see the luck in having a life experience that motivated you to become financially successful? I mean, I know financially successful people and they go around judging poor and middle class people for their bad financial decisions, and I'm just thinking--well, maybe they did not have the education to help them do that, or they did not have a life experience that woke them up, because it is actually possible to be perfectly content with being poor/middle class or for it to never occur to themselves to question their circumstances?

Already, we can make an example of you--you can't think beyond your own circumstances, and you think that just because you made a choice to better your life and succeeded in it, then people whom you don't deem successful must simply be choosing to not make the choices that you did. I'm sorry, but even if you come from a painful background, that doesn't give you a pass to say that your path to get where you are is supposed to be the same for everyone.

Sucks to be someone who was just about to turn 40 and was affected by this layoff, knowing they'd have had additional legal protections were they only a little bit older.
Yes, you understand this correctly.

One good example is from GReeeeN's 愛唄(Aiuta/ Love Song). It's a song about a guy apologising for all the times he's fought with and been a nuisance to his partner, and reaffirming his love for them.

「君の選んだ人生「みち」は僕「ここ」よかったのか？」

Taken as you'd hear it from listening to the song, it means "Are you happy with the road you have chosen?", but reading the lyrics uses different kanji to give it a slightly broader meaning.

人生 is read as jinsei, meaning life, but the furigana is 道（みち）which is a road or a path, note that this can be a literal road or a more figurative pathway through life.

僕(boku) is a male pronoun for "me/myself" but ここ means "this" as in "this road, not that one"

It's not that deep, but it extends the meaning of the lyric to be something like "are you happy to spend the rest of your life with me?" I thought it was kinda clever. There's probably better examples, but this pops into my head often as it's still quite a popular song.

They're also extremely dangerous (just like gas cars). Crazy people and elderly people sometimes drive them into pedestrians and other crowded areas.
Awesome read, short and sweet. But this

In 1828, a German traveling salesman and falconer named Johann Spieker died in Lower Saxony, probably by drowning.

“His grave was marked with a wooden cross and a fence that remained visible for a long time,” Dr. van Beek said. “During the excavation, only his cloak, some coins and a prayer book apparently were found.”

really seemed entirely out of place. Was this part of the conjecture related to missing clothes?
Hardly rationalization. It's a recognition that some people are in fact born with silver spoons in their mouth, or maybe something less fortunate.

What are you going to do about it?
This is actually a known and documented bright side of an unfortunate situation. There are usually silver linings.

It’s actually one of the reasons economists point to the US economy being much more vibrant than in Europe for example.
It's just as obvious to me that humans do not actually care where creative works they appreciate come from.

Some of my favorite creative works came from some awful people and others came from algorithms.

I don't care. It does not effect the works or the way in which the works effect me.

A lot of people see software as a list of features, hardware as a list of specs. But when you think about how much time we spend with these things, maybe they just aren’t that utilitarian. We think of buildings not just as volumes of conditioned air — but also as something architected, as something that can have a profound effect on how you feel, something that can have value in itself (historical buildings and such).
I assumed that was hyperbole.

Move to America where you have opportunity to choose a path to a better life.
That's amazing.

But luck is still important. I have a non tech background and got my first tech job through a friend I knew from a completely unrelated hobby. Less than a year later, our startup was acquired, making my unvested options well in the money, and within five years I had earned more money than many if not most Americans earn in their lifetimes. Many people working at startups never get the kind of windfall I got within a year (and given the length of my tenure, I can hardly claim any credit for the company's success at the time of acquisition). I probably would have made good money eventually, but it easily could have taken far longer or not happened at all had I not known my hobby acquaintance.

Of course luck isn't the only reason for anyone's success or failure, but it plays a huge role.
Sheesh the comments on the ID! All morality and legality aside, we have to take a little bit of context into account. The Great Woz is behaving in the much heralded spirit of the age, encapsulated in things like Make. He may as well actually be the Lazer and Chief (retired) of the Defiance Department. A sense of humor might help with the nuance. Imagine the back-office or radio chatter tho. "Casino security says the bills are real. They have better machines than we do. Right. Some technician at Apple. Makes sense. Alright Tom I'll call you back."
