I think that the two go hand-in-hand. In car-centric America, if you can't meet the minimum of a car, then you can't live there. So you migrate to the city where the cost of a roof is artificially high.

And having more livable cities in America are exactly what we need to help solve the problem.

I totally understand the point you're making about team cohesion.

This is the thing about the HN crowd and the remote only dogma that is constantly thrown around that is perplexing. The HN demo loudly proclaims that the workplace is not the place for you to build friendships and personal relationships and to go do it on your own time.

The natural effect of this is ambitious employees are going to min-max their career trajectory for their benefit and maybe the company's.
Why would anyone truly care about faceless Zoom rectangle team members that they're never going to see after x months/years?
In this case, they're not fighting a war, so the stakes are drastically low and payoff substantially better.
And yet HN looks down on this as bad behavior. This is just the emergent property of the current tech culture that we've established.

> The military has no problems detecting the chemicals that get leaked around bases

Even they will be hard pressed to detect chemical polutants at the extremely low concentrations that radiation can be trivially detected. But also, they know what to look for. What about everybody else in the area who don't even know what they should be looking for in the first place? With radioactive leaks it's easy, but DOW's chemical catalogue is thicker than a phonebook; you've got to be looking for something in particular or looking for half a billion different things all at once.
The author says the waste isn't liquid, but also says that spent fuel rods are cooled in pools for several years. Does the water not become irradiated in that time?
In principle, this might be possible since any reaction can in principle be run in reverse, given a sufficient supply of energy.

In practice, I don't think this would be at all viable, and certainly would not be competitive with other much more straightforward forms of energy storage.
Exactly, now consider how absurd it would be to say "Most developers aren't working on Windows, Linux, or macOS."

I'm always impressed at how little European regulators seem to understand tech (and at how little they want a healthy tech sector to grow in Europe, preferring American and Chinese alternatives).

To me it sounds like the "software is delivered as is" clause would nullify that.

7.1 Legality of Content

While the machine learning community has begun to discuss the issue of the legality of training models on copyright data, there is little acknowledgment of the fact that the processing and distribution of data owned by others may also be a violation of copyright law. As a step in that direction, we discuss the reasons we believe that our use of copyright data is in compliance with US copyright law.

Under pre (1984) (and affirmed in subsequent rulings such as aff (2013); Google (2015)), non-commercial, not-for-profit use of copyright media is preemptively fair use. Additionally, our use is transformative, in the sense that the original form of the data is ineffective for our purposes and our form of the data is ineffective for the purposes of the original documents. Although we use the full text of copyright works, this is not necessarily disqualifying when the full work is necessary (ful, 2003). In our case, the long-term dependencies in natural language require that the full text be used in order to produce the best results (Dai et al., 2019; Rae et al., 2019; Henighan et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2018).

Copyright law varies by country, and there may be additional restrictions on some of these works in particular jurisdictions. To enable easier compliance with local laws, the Pile reproduction code is available and can be used to exclude certain components of the Pile which are inappropriate for the user. Unfortunately, we do not have the metadata necessary to determine exactly which texts are copyrighted, and so this can only be undertaken at the component level. Thus, this should be be taken to be a heuristic rather than a precise determination.

What I find interesting in this context: Most FOSS licenses have a no-warranty and no fitness for any purpose clause:

GPL 3: there is no warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the program “as is” without warranty of any kind, ...

BSD-3-Clause: this software is provided by the author ``as is'' and any express or implied warranties, including, but not limited to, ...

Apache 1.1: this software is provided ``as is'' and any expressed or implied * warranties, ...

Which means that the liability lies entirely with the user if they use the software for something critical.

Pollsters realized that polls can impact the result of a election, people who lean for a particular candidate can be pushed over the edge with a poll that shows that candidate winning.

This is a bogus argument. If want to discuss the relative level of science in current beliefs about, say, nuclear waste, then go ahead and do so. But please do not impugne current "environmentalists" (a group which, as far as this topic goes, includes a number of "actual scientists") with your claims about the origins of the environmental movement.

As for those claims, the environmental movement in the USA is generally dated back to the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring", and in its early years was not really funded by anyone at all. In addition, most things are largely funded by wealthy folks, so this observation is largely content free.
Backlogs should be a bounded queue, not unbounded. You need something that's longer than 5 people's collective short term memory. But as soon as it has items that are "too old" * "too minor", there's a great chance they start becoming obsoleted, recognized as worthless, etc.

This was an awesome article. It makes me feel better. I feel like I have generalized anxiety about nuclear waste existing out there, and this quelled it.
I'm all for fighting the good fight on this, but I'm also a realist: consumer sentiment isn't going to change much. People on the extremes will still fight to the nails on MSG, Flouride in water, GMO, etc. But the median person doesn't really care where their power comes from when they hit a switch so long as it's cheap.

If we want any serious progress on Nuclear you need regulators with authority to ignore organized civilian protestation. And the only way that happens is when politicians have their backs against the wall when it comes to energy options.

Breeders don't reverse the nuclear reactions that take place when a reactor is producing power. They use the neutron flux from those reactions to induce different reactions (involving much less energy per nucleus) in surrounding material that produce fissile isotopes in that material.
It's unfortunate to mix surveillance with these other things. It's completely orthogonal to other things.

(And yes, surveillance is real in London, but not the other things. You can also camera surveil sprawling, car oriented areas, and technology makes it cheaper every year.)
Yes, I've lived in Seattle without a car, that is easily achievable and many people do this. In the core, you can get around by walking since the weather is mild most of the year, you don't even need to use public transit. You can expand your footprint on light rail and buses, which has been slowly improving its range but many people don't use those if they are in the dense urban areas.

The one gap is that Seattle is surrounded by very popular nature and outdoorsy activities up in the mountains or out on the islands. It is one of the major perks of living in Seattle. If you want to spend a lot of time wandering around the Cascades, you'll need a car. Some people that have a car use it almost exclusively for outdoors activities, not day to day living.

Or $280 at Home Depot, which is less than the extra cost of gas - much less the average $20+k the vehicle costs relative to a sedan or station wagon. The average truck sold for $45k last year and I’d be surprised if even 20% of the buyers ever do something a $28k Subaru couldn’t do.
While I understand that you're not equivocally saying that their claims are true, but you are absolutely appealing to someone's reputation as an authority on the topic to suggest what they say is "worth paying attention to in the absence of any other useful information".

Which seems little different to an appeal to authority. Maybe you better understand the nuance between an appeal to authority and an appeal to someone's reputation as an authority.

> [...] a single developer, Igor Kuzmin or “parafin,” has been responsible for macOS maintenance and packaging for the last 10 years. Kuzmin has indicated that he wishes to move on to other projects, which leaves Darktable without a macOS developer.

This would really bum me out and be a big loss to the FLOSS photography workflows possible on macOS. If I had the dev chops and the time, I'd jump on the opportunity.

Slightly tangential digression: I always say if I won the mega-MEGA millions, I'd immediately set out to fund Blender-level replacements for any offering Adobe (etc) has ever made. I really dream of a world where essential creative power-tools are free to anyone with the ability and inclination to use them (lowering the [technical] barrier of entry is good, too). Very happy that so many robust and featureful applications exist even without million+ dollar investments and salaried devs, darktable being one of them.

Having worked professionally in security and incident response for 15+ years now, this take is not just spot on, but might be overly optimistic.

I can't tell you how many large, well known companies I have worked with that either intentionally mislead, downplay, obscure or straight up lie in these types of notifications.

I have had legal teams tell me that they don't have to notify customers of a breach because an event happened on their test/dev systems, or a developer was compromised and not their actual service.

I have had companies intentionally not give information (like what an attacker was able to exfiltrate from a particular set of customers) that would been extremely helpful to inform or assess their risk. Instead they put out a generic "sophisticated attacker compromised our system, but no credentials or PII from our application were stolen".
Thank you for your reply sharing your experience.

> and it can be challenging to diagnose because the symptoms can overlap.

Yes, this part has me the most curious. Seems like BP1 and schizoaffective are very close, but reading more about schizoaffective, I am starting to think the diagnosis of BP1 could be off. This might be the key:

"Keep in mind that one of the primary criteria for a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder is the presence of delusions or hallucinations for two weeks in the absence of a mood disorder (such as depression or mania)."

https://www.rtor.org/2020/11/02/schizoaffective-vs-bipolar-d...

Thanks for the help! The worst part about this is convincing the patient about the hallucinations. The doctors don't know about them because they aren't reported as symptoms by the patient, since they are believed to be real.

Is there a separate person who does your project management, or is this a project manager with a different name? As your team grows and especially as you need to coordinate with many other teams, you eventually need someone to take care of all that process.
This is assuming that layoffs affect the correct group of people, in which case the obvious question is why couldn't those people be informed earlier and been given a choice to find a different position or to improve their performance? At Google specifically, many high performers were laid off without explanation. When entire programs were cut, many general-purpose programmers were lost simply due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time rather than having the wrong skills or having low performance.

Given that the evaluation of who to cut is made by outside groups, in a short period of time, without appeal, it seems more likely that layoffs in these cases are less about cutting low performers and more about getting rid of people the company is mismanaging, or people that the company is overpaying. Without changing that mismanagement, the result won't be a better environment. The message to employees is rough also: "don't trust our performance evaluations".

One: I freelance and have for my whole career. However, I work for small companies. I have largely supported myself that way for a long, long time. Companies that are twenty or thirty million bucks need software. They do not have the 'only work with corps' mentality.

Two: Get yourself an LLC anyway. I recently had a tax situation that requires incorporating. I'm kicking myself up and down. There are meaningful tax benefits to using one. Also, it creates a 'corporate veil'. In principle, a true freelance can be sued over the work that is done. If a corporation is involved, you can't. Creating an LLC with a small town accountant costs a few hundred dollars and is easy.
There's a point to not allowing companies to sell highly modified cars as though the original safety ratings are still accurate though.

E85 hurts fuel economy too much for that to make sense in a "zero carbon by 2035-2045" timeline. The Ford Taurus from the 90s would get 12.8 mpg on E85 in city driving, vs 18 mpg on gasoline. Plus, additional ethanol production would drive up food costs even more.

California's gas is already E10 (and they'd probably go higher if it wasn't illegal federally).
It's not intrinsically negative, but IMO it's a far more powerful and far more prevalent force than the countervailing forces in most tech orgs.
Or more importantly, would the same motivators for the military exist for private industries. My example would not be nuclear, but waste in general. I did 5 years in the Navy. Out at sea, by regulations, we have really strict standards of how certain materials get disposed. Clean metal, like aluminum cans from the galley can go overboard, into the ocean, and so can food waste. Plastic can't, batteries cant, etc. Do batteries and cut up fuel hoses find their way into the ocean? Yes. Is it because the Navy said so, no. From what I noticed, its about how easy it is to dispose of properly and you could notice it. When someone who made the process easier to dispose of batteries properly, most to everyone did it properly. When they changed out who was in charge of the trash detail and the new person in charge of the trash detail damn near required a 7 page dissertation and interrogation to allow you to turn in your dead batteries, people threw that shit in the ocean late at night when no one was out and about on the skin of the ship.

My point being, usually when waste disposal is an issue in the military, its not necessarily because the military doesnt care. Its because the process to do things properly became to grueling for people to put up with (not right, but it happens). Sometimes that grueling process is from big Navy, sometimes it is because DC1 had a bad day and making your day a pain in the ass somehow makes him feel better.
We are talking about 32 countries with civilian nuclear power operating for several decades. With oversight by an international body that tracks every bit of nuclear material. Using processes that differ from what was done at Hanford, producing waste different from Hanford. That has been working well, stored well and safely without issue. The military didn't start from that position, it started from "Joe just throw that shit in a pit over there, don't even bother keeping records." Hanford has no resemblance to civilian nuclear power. I think the onus is on those who keep saying it does (despite the evidence to the contrary) to demonstrate it.

I'm a UK contractor. I'm going to use the word contracting henceforth, but feel free to swap it our for freelancing or consulting, or whatever you think sounds better.

Most companies will want you contracting through a limited company in the UK. The main reason for this is so that the client can sue you if you screw something up. You'll also notice that most companies will ask you have business insurance as well, this again is so that in the event they need to sue you, you're fully covered for it.

The other reason you might need to contract through a limited company or an "umbrella company" these days is because of IR35 regulations. Basically employers can now get screwed by HMRC if they're paying people as contractors who are working in effect as employees. The reason for this regulation is that it's more tax efficient for both you and the client if you work as contractor as you can claim expenses, they don't need to worry about paying you severance / sick pay / etc, and both you and your employer don't need to pay NI contributions on your salary. As you might imagine the government would prefer only the wealthy had access to such privileges so they introduced IR35.

In effect this now means it's too risky for a company to pay an individual for an extended period of time without ensuring things are done correctly. IR35 basically gives companies two options: 1, pay a company for work with no hard requirements on who does the work, the time they do the work, or where they do the work – this is an "outside IR35 contract" and this will require you set up a LLC to contract through. Or 2, pay an umbrella company for the work and that umbrella company will employ you so you can get screwed by the taxman in the same way everyone else does without the benefits of a real employment contract (it's lose, lose) – this is an "inside IR35 contract".

On top of this, companies will often have contracts with recruitment agencies allowing that agency to be the sole recruiter for said company. This means even if they're willing to risk paying you for your services without going through all the IR35 nonsense, they contractually can't because they have agreements in place with recruitment agencies preventing it. I've personally ran into this issue when a client I was contracting for changed their preferred recruitment agency and I was unable to continue contracting with the client without the client first paying off my recruiter due to a non-solicitation clause.

If you want a company to pay you directly (as a self-employed sole trader) you would probably need them to pay you for a product and not for your labour, because if they're paying for labour they need to go through all the regulatory hoops.

Imo there's very little reason to be a contractor in the UK anymore. With all the extra tax headaches, the government constantly finding new ways to screw you and job insecurity, it's honestly not worth it.
