At my previous job I warned the CEO that we were risking the product's stability with the latest features. I told him we would be in trouble with our users within weeks.

I switched jobs shortly after that, and a few weeks later I learnt the company had lost ~35% MRR overnight. Their biggest customer had fired them due to the app's poor service level.

Stupid leaders are everywhere and they can have absolute power at some organizations, including governments. They are well advised, they just don't give a fuck.
So your response is to do literally nothing as a country gets rolled through and its civilians tortured and raped?.

If you think that sitting back and doing nothing will somehow let Ukrainians have a better life then you do not know the realities of living under Russian rule.

I find it strange that this kind of appeasement and bowing to another power to let them do what they please is so popular now just like it was in WW2.

Appeasing the fascists didn’t work then and it work now, the thing that stops countries like Russia is military defeat.

Is this what the data was being used for? The article does not clearly indicate that.

I’m excited for the day where I can listen to an audiobook from a computer generated voice that has the fidelity of real human voice. Perhaps intonation, veracity and speed can all be adjusted on the fly.

Often times I don’t like the narrators voice used in audiobooks. British accents are common and I don’t particularly enjoy listening to those.

Pakistan, IMO sucks (not defending India) -> My family has a long history in the State Department and my Uncle was a diplomat in Karachi for many, many years - and I managed a team out of Karachi, and had a Pakistani CEO founder at the startup in the states...

I was asked to go to Karachi a couple times and I refused. I loved my team there, but our internet was regularly taken out because it was via roof-based dishes, that regularly got shot at to take them out.

My uncle was driven directly from the embassy to his residence daily in an armoured car, and basically never left either his residence or embassy for years

The pakistani CEO became a religious zealot IMAM or something and moved back to Pakistan, to become some holy person over there.... even though he was sleeping with the marketing head of his company and cheating on his wife and newborn kids...

As for India. (ever Indian peer I had was great. Every Indian manager I had sucked.)

The CTO at the division of lockheed was really connected in India and had a collection of Lamborghinis and other really expensive cars (like 20 of them) -- we wound up having to walk him out of the office with security due to him both not doing a damn thing, and lying about his qualifications.

The lady who sat next to me at FB was the daughter of an Indian PM -- and was the most materialistic braggart I have ever had to endure...

In conclusion, every country has douchebags. It just sucks that when Pakistani or Indian professionals get power, it has been my consistent experience that they abuse it.

> but I personally gain nothing by forgoing shopping for groceries where it's most convenient for me and my family.

Taking pics of your face at checkout is bad enough, but if you don't push back against the slow creep of data collection somehow, it will not end there. What they've really been pushing for, for a long time now, is Personalized Dynamic Pricing (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338776528_A_special...) which means that once the store knows who you are (either by your photo, or by detecting the phone in your pocket, or by your loyalty card) they will alter the prices at the register to make as much money from you as they think they can get away with. They can drive up the price on items you always buy, or lower the price on certain items to attract you to them now so they can charge you more later. They can use data like what buy as well data like your income level, who the members of your household are, and what your shopping habits elsewhere are.

You gain a lot by pushing back on invasive tracking and violations of your privacy because those things exist only to let other people manipulate you and take more of your money. You'll likely never be told when or how the data someone somewhere managed to collect from you is later being used to screw you over, but it will be used to screw you over. Buy too much unhealthy food and your health insurance premiums go up. Buy a little too much alcohol, and now you've lost that job you wanted because your employer sees that and decides to hire the next candidate who has "better" habits. You never know what will prejudice someone against you, but all that data never goes away. It follows you for the rest of your life.

What you gain by pushing back is that there will be less ammo for others to use against you later. If that means driving an extra 10 minutes to the grocery store that doesn't record your face at the register, it's absolutely worth it for you.

That doesn't mean you can't ever go to disney world or that you have to walk around in Dazzle face paint to fool the cameras, but you should be aware of the risks to you and your children and you should be willing to take even small steps to protect them and yourself.

> If you can't fire the underperformers, where's the incentive to get shit done?

The assumption with you guys is always three parts:

1. That the company actors know what good performance is, therefor they can determine underperformance
2. That underperformance is meaningful in the context (taking care of a sick kid for a month is underperformance, but not meaningful when the kid is no longer sick)
3. That the company actors are being truthful about the reason

When in reality I know that company actors rarely understand good performance or thus underperformance, they rarely consider meaningfulness, and rarely are they actually telling the truth about the reason.
Is this a national thing? I'd been told it varies by jurisdiction. It's also made up by the local realtors, iirc, not a government regulation.

> You can't just tell people not to have human connections to their work.

In my case, it has been required.

I'm very fortunate, to have worked for 27 years, for a company that had many, many faults, but always treated their workers as if their career at the company was a critical factor.

That's because it was a "classic" Japanese company.

The best managers that I had, were Japanese (including one that eventually because the Chairman of the Board). The worst ones -by a large margin- were the Americans.

The Americans had very little Integrity. They also tended to be casually dishonest, in a jaw-dropping way.

Eventually, my team was dissolved, and I was laid off. I got a year's severance (It was capped -by the Americans, otherwise, it would have been more). My manager flew in from Japan, to tell me. He was next on the chopping block, himself.

Integrity is important, and very, very rare.

I like to feel as if I demonstrated it, in my own management. My employees seemed to agree.

If I talk about it here, I tend to be met with some fairly sneering, insulting responses.

This can be overcome. I know in the UK it was similar, 60s and 70s manufacturing quality was very poor. In the 80s factories started with quality management processes, 9001 etc and quality really dramatically improved.

Tech reporting is so hysterical these days, and so is social media of course. A crappy demo, and before you know it, Google is declared dead. AI has wrong answers, which is the end of the world. Plus it's racist because I tried for 3 days to trick it into saying something racist.

Drama is the product, not reality or any actual in-depth tech journalism.

Google got a wake-up call, but search will be just fine. Google controls search defaults on Android, iOS, Chrome on Windows, and Firefox. Not to mention on TVs, voice control, it's everywhere.

Google can launch a new product to billions of people with the press of a button, Microsoft...not so much. You could argue they can push it into Windows, but most people are on their phones these days. Microsoft has no serious presence in the consumer space anymore.

This is what will buy Google time to integrate a competing service, which I expect to be better as it sits on a lot more data.

Just kidding, I would absolutely recommend dumping Google stock.
I'm not very familiar with this space but would have thought "OpenAI" would be at least somewhat open-source. Is this just naming and not relevant to the product at all?

That seems very optimistic to me. Having seen Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana, and Alexa I trust that changes will be made, some of them will even be positive, but generally a net negative until they are completely irrelevant.

I doubt Apple is underestimating it. Shenzhen wasn't built in a day. They will need to get their reps in before they can start down the path to match China on quality. Apple probably figures it's worth the up front cost to harden against geopolitical risk.

I say this as the whitest white man ever, so please correct me if I'm being discriminatory.

I understand it's also a culture issue. India has a culture of never telling clients "no" for anything, even if they know they can't do it. So you ask for something insanely complex, and your contractor in India will throw a mountain of buggy code at you. I wouldn't be surprise if that's also the issue here.
the disappointing thing is that India can absolutely dominate the sector and supply cheap generics to poor countries. They have the expertise and supply chains. All while making a tidy profit.

Instead, greed and crony capitalism takes over and increasingly, the indian government is getting increasingly involved, reacting to any criticism in a churlish manner.

Really sad to see the wasted potential in a country like India. I suspect this is cultural and not easy to fix.
>By creating a standard, and allowing multiple implementations, someone creating a new OS or a new CPU architecture can create their own implementation of the language without having to wait for anyone else to deign to create the port.

Why does that require multiple implementations? There's nothing stopping said party from adding support for their OS/arch to rustc directly today. There are multiple examples of this already: fuchsia, Sony PSP, Nintendo Switch, etc [1]. Now if you want support in rustc itself out-of-the-box this does require LLVM support your target as well. But even then, again nothing stopping you from adding LLVM support too. The avr-rust project for instance maintained an LLVM/rustc fork for a while before those patches were upstreamed.

[1] See the wide variety of targets with varying support today: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.htm...
The worst I could say about the India based teams I've worked with is that some were to-the-letter to a fault. Anything not explicitly stated was skipped, where you'd typically expect a dev to fill in the unstated but obvious things that you only discover while working a task.

But that was at Amazon. At my current gig, the India based teams are great. Not quite up to the standards of the US teams, but I'm sure they're more cost effective. They're also hungry for more interesting responsibilities, and are proactively improving things. It makes me think that Amazon just had shitty management over there.
There is pressure to drop support for running 32 bit binaries and to stop packaging 32 bit libraries. Steam is pretty much the main force holding this transition off. Ubuntu proposed it a while ago and valve said they just wouldn’t support Ubuntu any more.

Apple did it way back and valve just updated to support 64bit for macOS.
Not my experience.
I was working on my clothing startup with initial investment of about ~$30,000 USD.

INDIA - Met at least 12-15 manufactures in India (medium to large scale, $1m ARR to $50m ARR). Only a 1-2 of these had any catalogs or samples of different fabric compositions. Most wanted an advance to kick-start the process. Sampling was a total failure with three of these.

CHINA - Contacted about 10 manufactures in China via Alibaba. Each one of them had a very detailed catalog of anywhere in between 10-50 fabric compositions. Shipped to my home in a week for just $100.

It was Peru where I got the garments manufactured. It did cost me about 20-30% more but it was very satisfactory.
That's not a "WTF". All front end developers trash their predecessors work and rewrite in the last framework. That just what they do.
I actually don't believe 5-year plan would work. Great products are built, not planned. A plan to keep management patient for 5 years, though, will work better. In AWS, a newly launched service will not seek profitability but user growth for at least the first two years, if not three. And then the GM of the service needs to pursue profitability and margin, while keeping user growth healthy. That said, product features are planned on a 6-month basis, and GMs have have moving target of profitability as market conditions often change.
First one kept the job.

> because I'm a pessimist

Shoot for the worst, hope for the best type? :)
That makes a lot of sense though, to the point of being tautological. When something is a crisis, i.e. an urgent problem, you deal with it. If it's not urgent, it can wait.

The fact that it would very often be "cheaper" or more efficient to deal with any individual problem ahead of time somewhat loses it's appeal when you consider the huge amount of potential problems that are costly to even evaluate as to the benefits of dealing with them in advance.
> With your point wrt Taiwan you seem to be saying that if anti-war protests are suppressed then that is evidence that the country is a dictatorship. But the problem is that many countries — even western ones — suppresses dissent once they enter a war. Heck Germany is not even officially at war but anyone voicing public support for Russia can be legally reprimanded.

I bring up Russia because it's the authoritarian government I'm most familiar with. An authoritarian government doesn't "reprimand" people when it needs consent for a given policy: it imprisons them or worse. You can see this happening in Russia today with anti-war protests, where dissenters are thrown into prison for years or even sent to the front. I believe similar things were happening to the protesters in HK when China took over. Are you saying people won't be imprisoned for protesting military action in Taiwan? I find that unlikely.

If I lived in Germany, no part of me would fear imprisonment if I voiced support for Russia. (Though it's likely somebody would kick my ass.)

Authoritarian policies also got you the Great Chinese Famine, leading to tens of millions of lives pointlessly thrown away. Was anyone held accountable? The answer is no, because an authoritarian government's "strength" is also its weakness when fault lies with the strongman at the helm. (As an aside, Yang Jisheng is the author of perhaps the most comprehensive account of the famine, "Tombstone." Are there any universities in China teaching his work? Are his books even allowed to be published?)

Germs don't get a chance to evolve resistance to this, at least as far as I can tell. At least not any more than humans have the opportunity to evolve a bullet defense.

The UVC doesn't disrupt their metabolism or mutate their genetics subtly, it shreds their chemical bonds.

It's much more like worrying that germs will evolve resistance to hydrogen peroxide or ethanol or iodine disinfectants. It's not impossible of course, but it'll require the kinds of mutations that make them entirely other organisms.

Yeah, this mostly applies to less than senior candidates. That said, the argument is that the code is quite a bit secondary once you dig into their work-history, references and so on. If they can code, and the other data backs things up, then its easy to see whether they would succeed in the role. But its quite easy to get false-positives around signals only to find that they can't complete a task without handholding.
