IMO the mail spam problem is overstated. For technically inclinded people, sorting through the trash does not take a significant amount of time (at least it doesn't for me) and people don't complain as much about physical mail spam or ad spam being everywhere - or at least demand laws going after the spammers instead of dropping mail based on heuristics.
This reminded me of one of those things that will probably bother me forever: while I was getting my license, I was taught to always reverse into parking spots, and one time we were practising parking in a mall parking lot, in my overconfidence over my newly-found knowledge, I rhetorically asked my instructor why all the people are parking forward. She asked me ”yeah, why is that”. Only months later after getting my license, while parking at a supermarket lot, I realized her question wasn’t rhetoric, and she was expecting me to think about it and answer.

In any case, I always reverse into parking spots, except when going shopping.
In my opinion if you go hiking where you suspect that there's no phone signal you should have one. I agree that perhaps always having them is too much (even if once you have one they don't add much weight to your pack).

Because it would be ridiculous to not pay market rates. The market rate for a dev in Nebraska is different than in SV. So what changes is you’re a company that overpays.
We already know we are competing with workers from all over the world. Go to Bengaluru, India or other IT-centric cities and marvel at how many silicon valley names you see on the skyscrapers, each of which has thousands of workers. This has been the paradigm since at least the early 00s. Remote-first may have accelerated it but it didn't bring it about.
You're conflating right to repair with ability to repair. The issue with John Deere was the farmers were able to repair the tractors, but the licensing prohibited them from doing so. The right to repair laws say nothing about making products being repairable. In fact right to repair might drive more things to be non-repairable - if the manufacturer still has to honor their warranty even after your repairs then they have an incentive to make it not repairable in the first place. That's a hard position for a tractor costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to make but it's a simple position for a maker of devices in the $1k-$3K range.
Granted, I've never driven in the US, but in the rest of North America, South America, Europa and Asia, but I have never seen such a sign. Seems to be a US exclusivity.

Thanks for explaining :)
Last year, I bought Mac Mini instead of laptop based on same logic. Love it but really wish that I had stuck with laptops for those 10% of times.

There are times when I want to work from a different room or location. Unless budget is concern, I would get a laptop.
> That's the wage-price spiral theory

No, it's not. Wage-price spiral assumes two-way causation: that higher wages cause higher prices, AND that higher prices lead to higher wages.

They don't have as much unexpected behaviour to contend with. Navigating busy streets and highways is significantly more prone to an unexpected incident of some kind occuring than those mining setups are, even if the severity of outcome is not as catastrophic in terms of vehicle destruction. No pedestrians or pets to be concerned about for a start, but it's far safer when _everything_ on the road is (semi)autonomous or remotely operated with the proper procedures and guidelines than it is to remotely operate a vehicle in a thick soup of pedestrians, (motor)cyclists, and manually operated vehicles.

No that would be idiotic because most of the time the discrimination has nothing to do with Caste.

Different areas of india have completely different cultures (languages, foods, customs, etc.)

Most of the discrimination is based on where you're from (do you speak tamil vs. hindi vs gujarati...)

People want to hire people who are similar to them. Chasing caste is the wrong issue.

India has thousands of years of cultural history & practices. America has...250 years?

Applying your mental models from American politics to India (which is far more complicated) and then forming a strong opinion (without knowing anything about indian culture) is hilariously idiotic.

There's far more things indian discriminate on other than caste. Location, language, family group, language-spoken, wealth, etc. And obviously political views.

Half the time you have no idea what caste someone is.
SMBC comics had one about this recently - https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/artificial-incompetence - poison the internet training data to prevent AI becoming too advanced.
You do realize, that I am calling for scrutiny and banishing the scourge of casteism. It might very well exist, but our communities should be introspective and self-aware on how widespread this phenomenon is, instead of getting defensive.
I’d read that story - LinkedIn is a very weird place.
This is why America was intended to be a melting pot: so that cultural baggage could be left behind.

Oof. Good thing they found the bug, and good thing the only issue was two tail strikes.

Inaccurate weight and balance data is no joke, with the potential to cause much more serious issues.
I hate to break it to you, but if the only exercise you get is from parking your car a bit further away, you're getting way too little exercise. You don't have to go out for runs or whatever, but at least take some walks. Exercises your brain as well :)
Or it's like a "POC" saying that you can't be racist against white people despite it being clearly evident that racism against all people - including white - is happening every day.

Everyone is receiving racism but it's the truly privileged that can do so and claim they aren't guilty of it themselves.
> That is the opening question leading to "why hire anyone in USA or Western Europe when Asia exists?"

Because good software engineering is 20% good programming and 80% good communication.

We, as an industry, already tried the offshoring strategy in the mid-2000s and quickly realized the cost savings of salaries were offset by the communication barriers. At least for projects where the quality of the output actually matters. You still see a ton of offshoring for projects where the result doesn't matter so much, like government IT contracts.

If Amazon/Google/etc had any data supporting that you could successfully get devs in Bangalore to code stuff up at $2/hour, they'd be doing it.

Honestly any kind of obsession with Musk is weird, and this is included. What happened to the exodus of people leaving Twitter for Mastodon saying Twitter's collapse was imminent? I've seen people coming back after making such a dramatic event of it. I've been using Twitter throughout all of this and honestly nothing has actually changed. It's just so weird people so obsessed with Musk, even hating him with such fervor and putting him under this weird hyper scrutiny.
I'd really like to see some people put their money where their mouth is and place some metacalculus bets.

Things like whether twitters losses in 2023 will be higher or lower than 2022. Whether user numbers will go up or down. Whether revenue will go up or down. Number of minutes of outages. Etc

Personally I'd bet on less losses, revenue slightly down (10% ish) and user numbers approximately the same this year compared to last.

Longer term I think the loss of verified status for journalists will stop it being a big source for their news stories, which will decrease its popularity. But that's next year at the earliest.
As a hiker, and casual observer of patterns in the US court system, the man is being made an example of. “If you fuck up your life hiking, please fix it without starting a forest fire, or just die, well fuck up your life for you when you’re back.” I haven’t hiked Arizona, the bit about picking the wrong trail is suss, but I feel like I easily could have stumbled into the same predicament
It's really more like a distributed version of Reddit that a distributed version of twitter.

It’s about market prices. If you can find someone to overpay market rates to you then more power to you. But I know of 0 companies that do. I’ve worked for remote first companies that specifically didn’t hire in expensive areas so they could find more affordable talent. This is how markets work.
Sarcasm right? America has to import and litigate all of the world's problems? White Man's Burden?
Now you are on to something. Is company management guilty when forces the employees onsite, knowing many could be infectious but not know about it yet?
I don't want to be overconfident, but I feel like getting rid of the supports would be time consuming, but not that difficult. They all connect to places that are accessible through the holes from the outside.

Another option would be a dual extruder printer with soluable supports, right?
While learning programming there was never a plan B, it was either that or nothing. I think I fought pretty hard for it, and in the end that worked out well. Now that I am quite far into my career, my plan B for when things become even more tedious and boring (lets say 5 years from now, in my 40s), is becoming a personal trainer and nutritional coach. Because I just like working out and staying healthy so much, that I would love to inspire that in other people.
Obviously others know better than Indians. Thats why they have to protect and teach them where they are wrong.

Obviously, if you're a visitor on a public trail, you shouldn't have a machete.

But there are corners of my property where a machete wouldn't hurt. Sure, New England forests often have open understories. But if sunlight can reach the ground, they can also be nearly impassible.
> We need to stop being defensive and touchy about such charges.

I think it’s a human trait in general. People often don’t handle when a piece of their culture is by and large rejected as backwards and wrong. Often a lot of doubling down happens and you end up with some really nasty fringe groups. Often people evolve and adapt and it’s a success story.

That is a picture of a unreleased photo, on a u2 enthusiast site in an article that only is talking about the history of theU2

No, this article is catching attention because it's a unique perspective from a unreleased photo. ... picture of a picture style similar to the keyhole satellite photo leak from the last president

Yeah, I go back and forth between Ubuntu and Debian on various machines and I usually hardly notice the difference in terms of my day-to-day. I just have in the past treated Ubuntu as a Debian with a fancier installer and default desktop. But the push towards snap is frustrating me.

Unfortunately Ubuntu pushing Snap means that 3rd parties that would have produced debian-compatible packages before are now moving to just shipping snaps instead.

e.g. I went to install Slack the other day and saw they only have RPM and Snap options now, they removed the deb entirely from their site (but still mention it in their Linux-install instructions).

(And yeah, this could push me to the end of my 25+ years of debian usage, I could be tempted to switch over to NixOS.)
My impression has been (since Musk’s public shitting on Twitter employees, including hinting at not honoring severance agreements) that the collective C-suite has arrived at a “managerial” solution to a variety of HR related matter, including extracting even more value from technical workers. This may have been an emergent phenomena but imo Musk definitely fired the starting gun from a very public platform and with a very magnified voice (since twitter issues were being painted as ‘political’ and not ‘political economy’).
I wonder how many off by one exists in a plane
You know the difference.

I think it's a classic case of designing for the average being terrible for the plurality. People are different. If someone like yourself prefers an office environment it's great if the employer can provide one, costs permitting.

It's a version of the prisoner's dilemma. They could do that, and they arguably should do that. But it won't scale to everyone doing that, and so it breaks down to a remote person with lower cost of living volunteering work for a bit less, in order to secure a desired position for themselves.
That would make sense, but it's still speculation. Preferably, we'd be able to get a definitive answer from Mr. Thompson himself.

A self-sufficient, proper GPS unit like something from Garmin. Battery life is still a point of failure.

I think the problem is that you don't actually know what the permission is for. It isn't in relation to anything. It's a blanket permission. But almost everything asks for some kind of blanket permission when you install it. Your only option is to say yes. For mobile apps, things have got better and a lot of things ask for their blanket permission later on in the piece. In many cases, it's still not in relation to anything. When they are in relation to something, you're usually not granting permission to do the thing you want to do, you're granting permission to do anything like what you want to do.

The user isn't giving informed consent, because even if, like you, they are informed about what the worst case is for granting this permission, they have no reasonable knowledge about whether the worst case is likely, even knowing that they've been asked to give permission. The questions are simply too generic for informed consent to be possible. (Mobile apps are getting better here as well, but there's still a long way to go.)

So the permissions aren't actually about managing your risks; they're about managing Google's risks.
You should leave space between you and the car in front of you (always), at least one car-length, so if you follow this, it's easy to see when someone is blinking>stopping>reversing because when they stop, you haven't blocked their space to reverse in anyways.

I agree - they would probably go straight to ASML.

But not having a fab means they're flexible to jump ship in the future if someone was ever to outpace TSMC.

Also, consider Intel's fabs, which were stuck on 14nm for years. This probably factored into one of the reasons Apple made the jump over to Apple Silicon.
Yeah i guess am hiking incredibly unprepared all the time and would hazard most others are too. 14 mile out and back should take a day, he got lost and things went bad. Doesn’t feel like justice to me but will make me rethink my packing list next time I hit the trail.
Passwords are a bad way to authenticate. They allow stealing, hard to keep up and easy to forget. Also they are not very comfortable... With FIDO, your device can be stealed but it's much harder to penetrate. It also allows easy sync between multiple devices, and you don't have to worry about having high entropy.
It's actually more reliable than on PC's because there's far fewer hardware combinations to support and Apple doesn't use particularly exotic hardware.
what if you had wheels instead of feet? there is zero mechanism for this and tech workers have shown again and again that there is not interest in a professional union.
Well the whole idea is to "make it work" under the constrains of our current understanding (General Relativity). After all , all that Dark Energy is by definition is something that is Contrasting the Gravity as described by general Relativity. If we remove that fact than it doesn't need to be reconciled with anything really. Saying that it is a type of energy that doesn't behave according to general Relativity, you need to solve a much bigger problem, find the Substitute of General Relativity that would work for all cases and in that scenario maybe even Gravity is different and you don't even need Dark Energy.
It would be just as not OK for a lower-caste person to discriminate against a Brahmin. The law works both ways.
The big question is: will Amazon afford to pay those people Silicon Valley wages? Because the bar moved from 2019 to now. In the past the salary paid by Amazon could cover the high expenses, not anymore. Especially because their stock is dropping like a rock, and a large part of their compensation is stock based. Amazon compensation was already known to be on the lower scale compared to other FAANG. People will even accept working for a bad company if they're making enough money. But they will hardly do this if the salary makes no sense.
In kindergarten you don't weigh the positives and negatives
That has been my experience for all my attempts of using chatgpt for any programming tasks: ask it something contained in the first stackoverflow answer when you google your prompt, and sure enough it gives you that. But ask it for something slightly more involved and you get something that looks plausible at very first glance but is just pure junk.
That would be just a step short of driving onto the railroad tracks because your phone told you to turn right.

And when I am going hiking on a route I had not been on before, I take a map of the trail and use it, especially at a time of the year when one should expect temperatures exceeding 35°C.

If he had made his way to his intended hiking location, it is quite possible he would still have become lost, as the trail system there has many branches.

For what's it's worth, here's some more context from a canonical employee:

>This post has been flaired "misleading title" because it implies that Ubuntu is removing support for Flatpak software.

>Instead, Ubuntu and Ubuntu flavors are focusing on a single, out-of-the-box experience for users: Ubuntu and flavors provide Debian packages and snap packages, and any deb or snap package provided in a default install has been built on the same Canonical infrastructure used to build Ubuntu itself. This sets an expectation for what users can expect Canonical and Ubuntu to support.

>Flatpak support is available in the Ubuntu repositories as an optional experience, and any user who wants to work with Flatpaks can run sudo apt install flatpak in a terminal and have full access to the tools necessary to work with Flatpaks. This is and will not be installed by default, but Ubuntu has committed to maintaining it in the universe repository.

>I was present when the flavor leads met to discuss this change (among quite a few others to unify the Ubuntu experience across flavors), and this was something that they all felt could be a positive change. It was not a requirement from Canonical. The only mandate from Canonical was that they committed to maintaining the flatpak package as an opt-in choice for users. The rest of the meeting was focused on fun things like the new Flutter-based installer and flavors coordinating what projects they were working on that could be coordinated together to maximize their efforts.

>Ubuntu cannot support third-party software, be it via source code, tarball, PPA, Flatpak, or AppImage. An out-of-the-box install will focus on Debian packages and snap packages. Tools to work with source code, tarballs, PPAs, Flatpaks, and AppImages are part of the Ubuntu repositories and are simple to enable if you wish to use them, and that's part of what makes Ubuntu adaptable for your computing needs.

>An official statement (that I provided feedback on) is available here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/118w7hb/ubuntu_flav...

Which I guess makes sense, but I'm wondering how (if?) they were supporting flatpack before this announcement if Ubuntu doesn't usually support 3rd party software.
Is this surprising? My intuition, backed by approximately 0 data, is that there's a 5 to 10 year age gap preference, such that men prefer to be with slightly younger women and women with slightly older men.

As a result, young men don't really have a dating pool. Once they hit 30, as long as they're not total wasters, women will take more interest.
