Walmart was never a prestigious or highly desirable employer for engineers.

Its general reputation is strictly worse than Amazon.
I’m about to attempt to do something similar on Deco routers, using [this](https://blog.keane.space/tp-link-deco-m5-hardware-hacking.ht...) as a base, but have never wired serial to usb manually before. My main question is how do you use a multimeter to tell which pad is which?

Great article!

Again, the interesting part is what happens on the input side.

I can't believe I'm the only person who sees it that way. Likely the legacy of a misspent youth writing Zork parsers...
"A ResumeBuilder.com survey of 1,000 business leaders found that 90 percent plan to require employees to return to the office at least some of the time in 2023. Twenty-one percent plan to separate from workers who refuse to come back to work in person."

Just don't listen if they ask you to come back and you've got ~4/5 chance of it not being an issue; they'll give up eventually.
I interviewed to work with Walmart's tech group many years ago. It was not a great experience. I admit that part of that was me (I was eager to leave my current role, but my heart wasn't really in this). The thing that stands out most to me is that I was asked to do some sort of data transformation and pointed out that there was a severe issue with the task they were asking me to do. Apparently they "asked everyone to do this" but I was the only person who'd ever brought it up. It felt really weird to me, but they weren't interested in moving forward, and I wasn't really either.

That first citation was partly written by Hal Singer. Singer was one of the key witnesses (ie economists) in the recent Within case and the courts basically rejected his theories outright. When I’ve got more time tomorrow I’ll post some of the other material that this piece doesn’t cite. The data isn’t as clean as this piece would suggest. In short, there is a big debate in economics about all of the items that they cite.

I would also look into this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/07/13/ftc-lin.... I often disagree with Commissioner Wilson but she has a point. The entire agency has shifted due to Chair Khan.

I've not been there, but Bentonville sounds like a combination of suburbia plus cultural options you'd expect in a much more urban area. If you're interested in living in a semi rural smaller town (~55k) it's probably among the more stable options you'll find in the US.

I see way more job opportunities in Rails than Django, but I guess it depends what kinds of circles you run in. I don't care much for frontend development so I have stayed away from React, but yeah that's certainly the skill to have for frontend work these days.

React+Rails makes you insanely marketable these days. There's SO MANY companies with large rails apps out there that aren't going anywhere.
The wisdom that you should never enter anything sensitive into a rich document editor is older than the internet.

Interesting. Their acquisition of Linode last year is the first time I ever heard of Akamai. I've known of Linode for more than 10 years.
I am in tech. I have had Walmart as a customer. Their use of technology is amazingly complex and challenging. They are on the bleeding edge on a number of things. Just because they do not look like Amazon publicly, does not mean they are not privately.
Honest question: what do you do with email that's so personal? Disclaimer that I don't like Google mining email data, I value privacy and don't want to dismiss it.

But I'm genuinely curious what you do over email that you feel so strongly about. For me, email is basically just a notification feed for me buying shit off Amazon (which the biggest person interested in selling me shit already knows about) and me occasionally having to complain to a customer service inbox.

All personal stuff is iMessage and signal, or secure things like docusign (for employment stuff).

Honestly if I was going to make a privacy related move, it would be to move to my own email domain but still hosted on gsuite.
Actually this job isn't the accountants. The accountants job is to give the CFO a "number". The CFO then gives this number to the different vps with an edict "cut said numbers from your org in x weeks". VPs typically have a (long running) process of building up lists for a rainy day such as this - eg, bottom performers (this usually includes those have given managers the stinkeye), projects without good numbers, some randomness, those with high comp to level ratios etc.

Oh and often one of the factors the "accountants" have to consider is a guidance that comes after the CFO has lunches with their wall st buddies!

It's hard to describe to the rest of the world how uncomfortable passenger rail in the US is to people not from the US. It's not "European levels but less availability". I've thought a lot about it and the best analogy I can come to is that if "German Autobahn" is the pinnacle of road engineering...and "zero roads whatsoever" is the bottom of road engineering...US passenger rail is closer to "unpaved and maybe gravel road" level of road engineering.

I've personally spent hundreds of hours on U.S. Amtrak trains in my youth. Truly, there is no equivalent in the US to the Shinkansen or even the Korean KTX or the French TGV. The Accela is a shadow of it's global peers. At it's absolute best, the American passenger rail system is the difference between being show via cannon to your destination and....maybe cargo train elsewhere. If the Shinkansen is something that fell out of a future alternate reality, the American rail system is a big box road truck, with a flat tire driving on an unpaved mountain pass with regular rock falls.

We once took a train from Rome to Florence, we sat across from a lovely elderly Scottish couple who thought the entire ride was entirely normal. We thought (this is before experiencing the magic future that is the Shinkanesen), that it was the most civilized travel experience we had ever encountered. We had a nice chat, a brief snack, and then were off to see the glories of the Renaissance.

My wife is Korean, but immigrated to the US before the KTX was a well known system. I dream of a future world where the entire planet has at least some level of passenger dedicated rail.

The cargo-first ownership policy is among the stupidest passenger rail policies I've ever encountered anywhere on the planet outside of heavy coal mining regions.

According to Wikipedia he also co-wrote The Art of Richard Thompson.
“Going forward, Akamai’s rent-a-server cloud services will be called Linode” would have been a better solution, yeah. So the way you say “Amazon EC2” or “Amazon AWS”, you’d say “Akamai Linode”. The only downside is that inevitably people would shorten that to “Linode” instead of “Akamai”, which hurts brand recognition. And I guess that downside is significant enough to cause them to go with this bland “Akamai’s cloud services” moniker. That’s what commenters here are reacting to more than anything, I think: it’s very “bland corporation”-y to care that much about brand recognition and that little about other things.

Actually you can. Legally it’s considered eliminating the office, and then extending an offer to the old workers at the new office.

> I've been seeing content on Tiktok where even 100 miles away they're seeing small dead fish which is apparently according to the folks making the videos a massive red flag.

It's interesting that you mention that you saw this on TikTok. In the last two days, the Ohio train derailment has become one of the hottest topics in ALL of Chinese social media (Weibo, tiktok, Little red book, etc), 10 days after its happening.

I was confused when my Chinese friends started asking me about this event, which I saw on the news the day it happened.

Why the huge lag? Oh yeah, because of the Chinese "balloons" -- nationalist citizens are mad that CCP has taken a "soft" stance in the face of US shooting down Chinese balloons. Chinese official statements are along the lines of "how dare you shoot down my balloons, they are just passing through on accident", then stating that American balloons have entered Chinese airspace previously and that's unacceptable.

This entire thing is a mess, so here comes the typical media manipulation to focus both Chinese and non-Chinese negative attention on America, even though American media has been giving this event no less attention than something like this usually receives.

I've been using TB for over 15 years now, and in that whole time Local Folders has been 100% useless for me. Just visual clutter. I even created an addon to hide it permanently, which got fairly popular and existed until they changed the plugin architecture a few years back. Once the addon broke, someone else created a working alternative almost immediately.

I understand why Local Folders exists, but never once in 15 years have I actually used it. It's about time they created a native option to hide it, and that's coming from an old fogy!
> Anyway fire for cause is meaningless with at-will employment

For cause prevents the employee from collecting unemployment; and also saves the company money on what they need to pay into unemployment (iiuc).
Probably the building is evacuated and the dangerous thing secured by specialists E.g. a bomb squad.

Then the same thing. The police and the prosecution find out if this was illegal, if the possession is illegal, who possesed if and who brought it and why, then who is responsible and a court decides if someone is guilty. The court will decide if the company is responsible E.g. because of negligence, they might not have implemented the law, educated their employees etc. In the case of dynamite that an employee brought, the company is not responsible, there might be terrorism charges against the employee.
Arkansas is beautiful but of course the quality of life doesn't come close to watching a homeless person shit on your driveway and pitch a tent on your front yard.
California became so popular because it accommodated lots of different lifestyles, its main drawback ATM is that it’s too popular (so lots of people are priced out).

Bentonville is us in northwest Arkansas, right in the Ozarks, I wouldn’t really consider it in the same boat with the rest of the state. I hear it’s actually a nice place to live if you can bare living in a red state (which, these days, has lots of legal drawbacks).

The concluding paragraph:

Position, velocity and acceleration will be zero at t = 0 for every equation of polynomial form of order 3 and above, but non zero everywhere else. Particles following these trajectories move to and from an unstable equilibrium where Newton’s laws fail to be fully descriptive at the singular point t = 0 where the implied force is zero.
You’ve been to Little Rock or west Memphis before? There is a reason north west AK is popular these days while the rest of the state has huge problems.
Honestly, you’d have to be a sucker. Imagine you have an established life in a well regarded city at a nice salary. You have friends, a home, hobbies, a routine, local knowledge. The job market is the best it’s been since your parents were kids. Then suddenly you are told you need to leave that all behind, take a massive cost of living paycut (because no corporation will pay you CA rates to live in AR), and move to one of the most economically troubled states in the country. Why would you let some amorphous entity jerk you around like that, upturn your life, without any appreciation of the sacrifice?

The only people taking this deal are either at a career inflection point or completely trapped.
The tricky part is finding a balance between the blockchain approach, where everybody pins every item (wasteful) and the other end of the spectrum where people only pin the things they're thinking about right now (lossy).

There's some middle ground where we coordinate who pins what in a way where there's just enough enough redundancy to not worry about it disappearing, but not so much that any one of us is bearing an unnecessarily large burden.

I don't think we've quite figured that part out yet.

Well, in at least one example I saw earlier today the answer is "insisting that it's 2022 and that the questioner insisting that it's 2023 is misguided and flat out wrong."

This kind of makes sense when you think about it as being in some ways based on predictive text based on what it's ingested, because it's ingested a lot of 2022 content and much less 2023.
Seems to me that this actually points out a fundamental inconsistency of classical theories, namely the use of infinitely divisible quantities (real numbers) which leads you to paradox. I think Norton's dome is unproblematic if you model it in a discrete theory.

Other sibling comments are mentioning what a nice place Bentonville is compared to California/Texas/any other major population center.

I’m sure there are a lot of nice things but what happens when you and Walmart split ways? There’s not a ton of other employers so you’re back to remote work. So then why even move there in the first place?

It's not neccessarily about code being open source or not: you can pretty much run a wide and large proxy network for any of the services using run of the mill free software.

This means that to prevent all of the issues, you need a huge overprovisioned network. So to make economics work, you'd have to become one of the largest networks in the world, and thus serve lots of clients, making you again a "centralized" service.
Most such VPN providers have servers on multiple location. UK is very popular location so just connect to it if you already paid for VPN. I think some people already paid for VPN as I can see YouTuber's ads.
There are so, so many things wrong with this. Unless you want to directly and individually pay every single welfare worker, police officer, health inspector, road maintenance worker, and hire companies directly to fix roads, water services, etc...you don't have a leg to stand on.

And if you do want to pay these people individually, you're not capable of making a judgement on the validity of taxation as a viable mechanism.
You can have visibility over multiple accounts:

However, the extensive use of aluminum meant significant weight savings, as well.

Despite the impression that Amazon is a hellplace, it remains one of the most desired places in the world for software engineers to work, so being "worse than Amazon" isn't saying much.

Walmart's tech side of things is very highly regarded both for the work, as well for the pay. They pay $200-300k for people from 5-10/yrs experience, which despite being below FAANG level, still puts it squarely among the top paying companies for software development.
