There certainly are plenty of cultural Catholics who don't believe much of if anything that the Church teaches. The example of possession is particularly interesting though, because it's so overt. Unlike transubstantiation, where we have to take it on faith, there are documented cases of demonic possession that really defy natural explanation. Things like knowing secrets, speaking unknown languages, levitation, feats of strength, and so on have all been observed. Here[1] is one example and you can find many more, including from non-Catholic or even non-Christian specialists who have been retained to rule out mental illness and other natural explanations. Unfortunately it is a rather sensationalized subject, so there is a lot of garbage out there too.

Thanks I may look into libredd.it. I intentionally removed the 3rd party apps because they were too good and enabled me to doom scroll too efficiently. I used the website in part because it's a painful experience which will keep me from staying on there too long. A read-only version may help that even more because then I'd have to switch to the full website if I wanted to rage post about how someone is wrong on the internet.

This ignores the headline of the article, which is "it didn't overhire". Thus, not only is Cook downplaying the possibility of layoffs, but Apple clearly doesn't need to do them.
I have a theory that company growth is due to inability to extend the "family" of core shareholders.

E.g. an early employee gets a lot less stock than an early founder despite everyone at this stage doing a lot of work. There is a sharp boundary that distinguishes between those involved in the "process of creation", an "elder" or parental class, and the followers.

This process happens a few times so there are multiple boundaries where eldership and sense of ownership falls off dramatically.

Individuals that are hired past a certain fall-off point are compensated in ownership units only to be competitive with other companies. E.g. whether it's RSUs or options, the "expected value" of the compensation is around market rate, only the volatility(kurtosis) of the expected outcome differs.

Since there isn't a direct sense of ownership over the revenue stream, individuals are motivated to increase compensation by managing larger teams b/c the market rate for someone who can do that is higher.

There is less return on effort and more risk to do sth like fight through the org structure to gain the necessary political capital to go all-in on an initiative, even with pocket aces.

It's better to work with the org structure and with the ambitions of the individuals you interact w/ daily in the local subtree.
I successfully patented a product and licensed that patent to a small company that does quite well selling a product based on that patent. It did cost about $15k, but that's business risk. If a megacorp ever infringed the patent, we could sue them. Sure, they could try and work around it with other designs, but their product wouldn't work as well.
I hope not, that would be malpractice

However, I wanted to make the distinction that while @systems asked about Eclipse as a Java IDE, which it is objectively terrible at, Eclipse is like NetBeans in that it is multi-language[1] and is likely more accessible as an open-source C++ IDE for university use than trying to get CLion licenses (and, ahem, then explain CMake to students :-/ )

1: yes, I'm acutely aware IDEA is also multi-language but the open source distribution only covers Java and Python, unlike Eclipse and NetBeans

Sure, they want their own con, oops typo, their own coin.
The 'guess' piece is what they were borrowing for.
Yeah, agreed. When I started working in the fall - at a company that didn’t have layoffs, at a job I was offered in the spring - there were layoffs and closures happening at other places all around me and I remember feeling sort of guilty about it.
> Normal people don't like new shiny ways of working every year or so. My house's front door lock is broadly the same interface as my great-grandparent's front door lock, but technologists think changing the way things work every couple of years is acceptable.

This is what interested me. How do you clone an intranet site without gaining access to it?
We are in a crisis of trust, but I'm not sure the solution involves stronger identities. I've used Reddit for well over a decade at this point. I hate that my high school opinions are just out there permanently on the internet. It's much more damaging to communities for people to feel like they can't participate for fear of leaving a permanent record. If you were at a party, would you feel comfortable knowing you were being recorded the entire time? I think the same thing applies to digital communities.

We need some way of verifying that a real human is on the other end, but we don't necessarily need to know who that person is.
It's less about that sort of crash and more about small fender benders. You're likely to get much more bumper damage hitting a car at 5 mph in stop and go traffic in a modern car. (The upside being, of course, you're a lot less likely to snap a pedestrian's leg in a similar hit.)

Depends on if you have comb-selections of the people hired.

If we follow one path all the way to the end: If you can bring on a large number of people, then you can potentially evaluate them as "up-and-coming" high-quality talent. Those talents can be soaked in your business and technology stack, and become internal experts. Over that talent's life within the company, you may also underpay them relative to bringing in the same equivalent 10+ year veteran and training them on your internal assets.

On another path: You can also develop a broader population of mid-grade, quality talent which can strength workforce resilience.

During the mass layoff, procedures are different, and you may not have to follow quite the same fire-process as with an individual, and without some of the individual recourse processes regarding discrimination.

FWIW, Microsoft used to (still does?) had a certain percentage of layoffs every year. In a good environment, it's weeding; in a bad environment, it culls good talent.

Genuine question that I haven't been able to find a clear answer for: are heat pumps now different from air conditioners two to three decades ago? (other than the fact that they heat and cool)

Memory is fuzzy but I remember when I was a little kid and even captain planet cartoon showed air conditioners being bad for the environment...

Or is it that heat pumps are better than the fossil fuel counterparts and so if you're going to do something bad you might as well do something less bad?
And as long as you're running a proper business with multiple clients, your own equipment, your own hours, etc, then you dont fall foul of IR35. If you are however basically being treated the same as a PAYE employee would, 1 client, their office, their equipment, their hours, their conditions, etc, then you're dodging tax and thats the point of IR35.

True, but Catholicism isn't a democracy. Catholic beliefs aren't determined by what self-professed Catholics say they believe in, but what the Catholic Church itself professes.
By spec USB-C chargers don't even provide 5V without a pulldown resistor on the CC lines. It's safe to connect two compliant USB-C charges together.
Only after Pioneer purchased the IP from DiscoVision Associates (the joint MCA-IBM venture) did the system approximate what the average Joe consumer would consider "working". I'd say some time around the introduction of the CLD-900, so 1985 or thereabouts.
Despite years of users relying on distributed indexes and manual sharding in Manticore, I concur that automation would simplify the process greatly. The development team is working on automating sharding and orchestrating the shards. Hopefully it will be included in the next major release in a few months.
I think the position "Site Reliability Engineer" has become synonymous with people being perpetually on-call as their job, at least in the U.S. The job is basically just there to put out fires.
Solid point. It's easy to forget what Amazon actually does and only focus on the tech side.

Seems pretty obvious to me but we'll see how it goes in the court.
Oh, definitely agree with you there, then. I guess it is troublesome because the money has to come from somewhere at the end of the day.

Someone like that shouldn't be denied but I guess it begs the question of what happens if in a certain year demand for medical services outstrips allocated tax. I suppose govs should really have a slush fund for that sort of thing rather than national debt/constantly feeling they have to spend all tax money, every year.
You are asking the wrong question IMO.

We really want examples of large companies licensing patents or buying smaller companies for their patents. Both are examples of patents helping smaller companies against those much larger. If patents no longer existed those smaller companies would get nothing.

>>As the mental health and drug crisis grows, I simply don't want to walk anywhere, and don't want my family walking places.

Good point. There is very little motivation to make cities more 'walkable', if your walk requires stepping in or over human feces and discarded needles and homeless people camped out on the sidewalk. That problem needs to be fixed first before there is going to be widespread support for proposals like this.
>So after all this time and energy, the bank of england has invented... bank accounts. Only with more latency and no interest and a cap on balances.

same with india as well for their CBDC.

the reason for crypto and blockchain was to AVOID the conventional banking chanels that are regulated, that are monitored, modifiable at the whims of someone, cross border, cross platform, decentralized, across geographies.

its like CBDC took the best of cryto/blockchain and shoved themselves inbetween just to remain relevant because otherwise they certainly would've been.

if all my money is on BTC, there is no way a court or a government could order someone to take that from me.

before someone says "Abuse", well you are talking as if HSBC, DW, etc etc and all the banks in the world haven't engaged in money laundering so why is this difficult to understand?

Perhaps! Though in this case it seems he engaged in the behavior over an extended period of time and did not consider the patented crops a problem.
Very few break-ins are accomplished via defeating a lock with something in the vein of a pick (bumping, pick gun, etc). Most break in are accomplished via a broken window/glass door.
> the concept of AGI is inseparable from the kind of hierarchy of intelligence that has underpinned ideas of innate supremacy since the days of empire and colonialism

Is this bullshit?

> referring to AI's alleged potential for good should be dropped by acknowledging that the social benefits are still speculative while the harms have been empirically demonstrated

The empirical harms are mean tweets. But advancing medicine, law, productivity, etc are alleged.

> It's not so long ago that we all woke up to the identity of truly essential workers; the people carrying out the precaritised roles of nursing, teaching, caring, delivering and cleaning, the very professions who are being forced to reinvent the idea of the general strike simply to regain the conditions for survival. Instead of being complicit with expensive toys running in carbon emitting data centres, we can focus instead on centring activities of care

But care workers are going to be replaced by androids. Calling someone essential is virtue signalling, it says nothing about the person or job. Working in a hospice changing diapers of the demented isn't meaningful work.
>maybe it should be based on revenue generated

The pitfall there is that there is no guarantee of revenue. You also invite the possibility of predatorily delaying revenue generation. Potential revenue generated would be more on the nose.

In another sense, sustaining a patent until it generates sufficient revenue can be seen as oxymoronic to the idea that patents incent products that serve the public interest - since, if the patent is not creating value, how can it be in the public interest?

Patent lifespans are already sort of considered based on potential revenue generated, and use number of years as a proxy for that
Same here, single person LLC awhile back.

The big advantage of this route is you have much wider discretion to define your salary, business expenses, what you can claim on taxes, etc. It was really eye opening to me what the accounting possibilities are.

The downside is you need an accountant (or be very good at it yourself), and of course you need steady clients.
Binary logs probably makes it easier to enforce a specific field format. With other logging daemons some programs would log timestamps iso 8601 others would use unix time or the locale's timestamp format. Same with log message types (ERROR, WARNING, INFO, NOTICE, ...) and multi-line log messages.

systemd is now over ten year old and no one has had any major problems with the binary log format. So I think Lennart proved the doubters wrong.
But they did that, too. You read about 18000 people being dropped by Amazon, but you didn't read about the 80000 which have been "silently" let go on top of that. Thing is, somewhere in the news you may have stumbled over the downsize from ~1.6 million to ~1.5 million, and 18000 isn't enough for that. These 80000 are part of that cycle you mentioned.
Having seen C++20, anything less is just subpar.

Orthodox C++ can be safely ignored by any sane developer.
I strongly believe, after 5 years, every device with more than ~10,000 units shipped should have its bootloader unlocked, and its microcode/any necessary drivers opened up. Failure to open up should result in your license to sell new devices suspended. Unless we do something like this, we're headed towards potentially infinite e-waste. You can make the argument that everything should be a black box for security's sake, but x86/Apple laptops for example have unlocked bootloaders while maintaining security by means of OS encryption. The idea that security and privacy are fundamentally at odds is in my opinion industry gaslighting. People should have 100% control of the hardware they own, and 100% choice of the software they run on it.
Amazon laid off thousands of corporate employees, many of whom were in tech. I know some personally.
Even better if one of these "valuable things" topples Google.
I don't doubt this and I've seen some of it firsthand! I only meant to compare the larger cities of Canada and America and the observed differences. Each of our lands has their own distinct beauties.
I live in an apartment complex that has a full-sized grocery store in it in the US. It's actually not what you think. The grocery store and shops are on the bottom, with 5 floors of apartments on top. There's no big giant parking lot, but a parking garage that's built into the apartments. Shoppers park in the 1st floor of the garage (free for shoppers). It's a very walkable area, since it's about 500 feet from a riverside pedestrian path connected to tennis courts and a nice park. It's a little bit of a unique situation since it's across the river from a major city, and most people (rich or poor) take the bus or ferry in instead of driving.
> Or you can pay roughly £1200-£1500/yr to an accountant and have them do it for you.

Any half decent accountant will probably be able to SAVE you more than this; mainly by optimising your tax affairs (assuming you have a modest turnover).

It's money well spent.
I've argued that heirs, if they don't have proof of the basis, should have to treat the basis as 0.

Why should the basis be what it is today vs zero? It's pretty simple, if person dies on day N, and we know what we would tax the item as if he sold it on day N-1, then we should be able to know what we should be able to tax it at if sold by the heirs on day N+1.

Zero would acknowledge that the heirs paid literally zero for it. conversely, if the the asset tremendously rose in value (i.e. an order of magnitude or more). then even with knowing the cost basis, one can effectively treat the cost basis as zero without significant effect on the heir (i.e. at a 33% tax rate, if it grows by an order of magnitude and you treat it as 0, instead of 10% of the current value, you only increased the amount of tax paid by 3.3% of the value). If it grows by even more than an order of magnitude, than the percentage drops (2 orders of magnitude and you are at 1/3 of a percent extra vs treating it as zero).

i.e. there really isn't much of a loss to the heir if one has to treat the asset as zero cost basis. and one can always provide said cost basis in the cases where the asset growth can't be measured in even a single digit order of magnitude (but once one breaks a single digit, then there's very little loss to the heir).

In general, I dislike trying to treat different assets classes differently, the rule should be no step up, track cost basis or you as the heir have to treat it as zero.
Not exactly related but why doesn't Nirmatrelvir/Paxlovid not have this issue? Or is it just at a smaller scale?
> my friend is building his house and is putting in 4 heat pumps (big house). The problem is we just lost power for 4 days and 2 years ago we lost power for 5 days. He is discovering that electric heat uses massive amounts of electricity and there is no way to get a residential generator big enough to power them all. He might not even be able to power one (they can use in excess of 20kw).

If he's building the house new, he should strongly consider investing in designing the building envelope in a way that 20kW heat pumps aren't required. It's very possible, especially with new builds.

The models to follow are Passive House [1] and Pretty Good House [2]. There are many examples of large houses built to those standards in cold climates that use a heat pump that only draws 2kW, which could easily be powered by a generator or backup battery. This assumes that by "big house" we mean something still below ~3500sqft and not some kind of mansion.

The basics are to get the building air leakage below 1ACH50 (3-5x better than most codes, but not hard in a new build), and eliminate thermal bridging by using thick exterior insulation around the building perimeter.

Most likely it can turn into a whole lot more verbosity and more boilerplate to make tools happy.

And plenty of more unnecessary complexity in codebases.
You can call any method as a function, if you'd like.

foo.bar(baz)

becomes

bar(foo, baz)

Though you may also need to add in some &s and/or *s, because method call syntax autoref/derefs, and function call syntax does not.
I use "Eternal September" for the cultural effect on businesses that suddenly gorge themselves on new hires that have no exposure to the existing culture or context. The negative effects are loosely parallel to what happens when a social medium breaks out of being a subculture and goes mainstream.
>> is the reality much bleaker?
Of course, because the media suffers from survivor bias. No one gets article written about them for failing.

But lets give the OP some credit- if the company becomes more profitable it could be worth many years salary in equity. And someone who can start a company can usually start another company, which is kind of security I think a lot of people don't have.

Look, if you are getting a large salary from a FAANG type gig, every study shows for your wealth you should stick with it. If you don't want to, or you don't have that choice: lets help that person learn to hunt and kill for themselves.
I was afraid that'd be the answer. Do you use your car for everything, or are you able to handle day-to-day stuff on foot and use the car mostly for adventures?
We have some, working on more...
Sure, but what's the common-sense metric here?

As posted elsewhere in the thread: this is ~$40m/year for an IdP/login scheme for the entire USG (and, increasingly, state and local governments). That's significantly less than the engineering talent at companies like Okta and Authy probably cost each year, even before factoring in overhead and non-engineering roles.

All things considered, this looks like a very efficient use of taxpayer money to me. Particularly since it seems to have been primarily paid for on GS pay grades, not with private contractors.
No, it doesn't fit the pre-supermarket definition. It's self-service, prices are labeled, it has a selection of various items in each category, it has a meat department. Plus it has the word supermarket in the name.

This is what a pre-supermarket grocery store looked like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grocery_store#/media/File:1909...

If enough people are not on board, the majority can always fork and have their own chain. The best implementation then wins in the long run. That is the beauty of blockchains, imho.
