whole thing makes no sense, just feels like leadership is flailing. Is RTO just sunk cost fallacy due to these big companies having spent billions on real estate and fancy buildings? There seems to be minimal benefits to mandating it, it shrinks your talent pool, makes employees less efficient due to commute, forces you to pay more in tech hubs, and makes you spend more on office stuff. The only benefit is the completely non-measurable "improved collaboration" metric
I'm honestly shocked you decided to pay that for a domain name. I guess I can kinda understand as a percentage of your company revenue, but morally that is so hard for me to justify feeding a squatter, let alone in a sum of that amount.
Statefulness in GUIs
I don't understand your comment. If you're cutting back on future features, not existing operations, you'd absolutely expect product and design to take a big hit, and then of course recruiting and HR because your employee counts are down and you're not hiring.

Data science tends to span both (future product dev and analysis of existing functionality), and data science can be particularly tricky to assign a value to, so not surprised there are also significant cuts there.
Great work. They need to do it for CS GO too.
Currently there is no way to share authenticator-based 2FA codes, happy to discuss further if this is an issue you'd like to be solved.

There is definitely a shift in the industry to move away from SMS for 2FA, but unfortunately people still use SMS and not all services support authenticator codes, which is still a problem.

The stats are not crazy for an air battery.

But the catch is two-fold. First, are they weighing the battery before or after discharging? Oxidizing will change the weight significantly. The most honest result would be the average weight during the cycle.

The other catch with these air batteries is usually the purity requirements on the intake. I recall reading about earlier experiments that could not tolerate pollen, dust, and smog, and required an energy intensive purification step (maybe involving cryogenics) that was a nontrivial power draw.

Those caveats aside, a back of the envelope estimate for the energy density would be something like 600-700 Wh/kg.
I'm supposed to be in one of those "hotelling" env's but human beings are so territorial that it effectively failed. In truth managers sabotaged it but employees were happy to go along. Even with WFH dominating now, it's still That's My Desk Not Yours.

I kinda like the hotelling idea because you can mingle with people who work in other domains and mostly avoid that small percentage of really obnoxious folks. I suppose it could get problematic if you're the resident Hot Girl in an office of needy males (sorry if that sounds sexist and I'm sure I would absolutely hate being Hot Guy in an office of needy gals and no I'm not being facetious at all)
I was interested in trying this out, but when I tried to upload upload some images of my dog nothing happened. Checking the JS console, there are a few errors about CORS mismatches:

> If we have a voter id requirement, we have to have all voters have a place to go get this ID. Seven days a week, at least ten hours a day. Who will pay for this?

I agree that this is necessary; it must be Federal, free and readily obtainable.

That largely makes it unworkable; not for cost reasons (we do plenty in government that we don't pay for, including the existing free issuance of Social Security cards to everyone) but political ones.

The folks who want voter ID largely don't want this setup. They want a patchwork of confusing state-level requirements that are tough to navigate.
Sounds like an gentlemanly duel to me!
It’s not like standing statically is good for your health either, and it can be easy to do that when focusing.

I hit that issue when I got my standing desk early during the pandemic, I tend to lock my knees when static and doing that for hours at a time was not good.
I only use checks in an emergency. My credit cards send me new versions within a day of reporting it lost or stolen.

I can live without anything from BedBath&Beyond for a few days. They probably assume anyone paying by check is insane.
I used to say something similar to this but then I worked at Google. It turns out I care a lot more about working on interesting problems than I do about fat checks.
The 600 billion figure is almost certainly false. The estimates vary by a lot but most figures
are in the ball park of 30 billion.
It is because of regulation that they are closing accounts without explanation. I used to run a debit card program with about 250K active accounts.

The account closures are driven by the BSA/AML process (and briefly by operation chokepoint). By law, we are not allowed to tell the account holder the reason for the account closure - this is to prevent scammers (and the overwhelming majority of closures were of shady accounts) from learning the detection pattern and changing their behavior.

So, don't blame the banks/card programs - blame the regulators.
Irrelevant. What is relevant is if they have a form of ID that is acceptable for voter ID in their state. Around 10% of eligible voters in the US do not.

"We've removed your card. We're still processing any pending payments on it."

It sounds like they've removed my card from the UI, but they can still charge it if they want.

In any case, I'm going to close my PayPal account and hopefully cancel that card within a few weeks.
Thomas Oxley? Endovascular? Looks like they finally commercialised the stentrode!

I remember seeing the initial trials of this back in the day. Basically functions like a slightly worse ECoG sensor (since the signal still gets filtered by the dura), but much easier to install. Think best case performance of about 80 binary inputs per minute, or a really noisy cursor input.

Honestly, without the improvement in algorithms they were hoping for, there's not a snowball's chance in hell of this playing Doom within 5 years, let alone one. There's still fundamental unsolved problems (like the fact that ~20% of people simply can't Motor Imagery BCIs no matter how hard they try, and a massive chunk of those who can produce incredibly noisy signals), but new sensors are always a step in the right direction (as opposed to new algorithms, which, in this field, are almost always complete bullshit.)
after finally landing a job at Google after 8 months of back and forth I was pretty seriously disappointed to be assigned less than 20 square feet in the middle of a row of chairs that guaranteed someone would hit the back of my chair every couple minutes, and that I would be hard pressed to go to the bathroom without doing the same to the other 20 people in the row.
Thanks! ;D
A shiv is an improvised, easily concealed, close quarters DIY weapon, constructed of pretty much anything that can be formed into a sharp point or cutting edge. They are popular in prisons due to supply side constraints on other armament options. Think "toothbrush sharpened into stabby thing" or "piece of bed frame filed down into cutty thing."
Just about the furthest thing from Apple hardware I can think of.
Meanwhile, I've had a package marked as delivered that never actually showed up. eBay wouldn't help me. USPS wouldn't help me without info from the seller. Seller never gave me the correct info that I requested, nor followed up with USPS.

Seems random who gets screwed in these situations.

Honestly it boggles my mind that USPS can just mark something delivered with no actual evidence of delivery (signature, photograph etc.) and it's just taken as fact.
It should obviously be condemned, but what's up with these articles recently?

It's multicast, not broadcast (which means the networks could still be separated, among other things), and it's not too surprising that the network for the entertainment system carries this (by today's standard) low bandwidth stream.

Yeah, with a better/better configured switch it could not reach the individual client unless it subscribed to the multicast stream, but again, who cares about that low bandwidth stream... you should not trust any hotel network anyway, those audio packets won't do extra harm.
Unfortunately, if there's anything Americans fear more than losing basic rights to to pad corporate profits, it's "government overreach" in the form of holding such a corporations liable.
I've been that guy. It's hard to have fun in the modern "you will be FORCED to lose 50% of the time" matchmaking systems, compared to the small communities of the past. When I loved playing Halo 1 on the PC, you could actively chose how you were feeling that day, whether you wanted a very competitive match, or whether you just wanted infinite rockets with no shields so everyone's bodies are flying all over. You could have a relaxing game of chaotic fun, or you could load up a giant map sniper duel, or a very classic sidewinder CTF that requires teamwork and cunning and individual talent to make things happen.

Instead, every single game now is optimized for streamers, content creators, and a small "Professional" scene. So now, when a single popular youtuber wants a meme gun, the devs add a powerful slug to the double barrel shotgun and a red dot sight, so that youtuber can make a highlight reel of headshotting people across the map with a damn shotgun while throwing the entire tactical part of the gameplay out the window. The community spends 6 years complaining about a tactic that is basically just spawn camping, and the publisher gives radio silence, but there's a weird, niche tactic using your favorite character in the pro scene that is SLIGHTLY better than random in effectiveness, and you better believe that character is getting a hard nerf.

Now I boot up the game, and if I have a good match where I did better than expected, the system responds to that by putting me in a much harder game, where I'm expected to lose, because that 50% win rate must be ENFORCED. Even if you constantly improve at the game, you just get put in front of more and more talented people, wiping out any joy you might experience from your improvement. Meanwhile, you continually get destroyed by 12 year olds that don't have to cook dinner every night and have plenty of time to hone their skills. These systems are even implemented in """Casual""" game modes, which are then full of pro players on new accounts making youtube highlight reels.

So yeah, excuse my old man anger, I just literally lived through a better time. Right now it is impossible to sit down with my friends and enjoy a PVP game together, because casual multiplayer has been thrown to the wolves, often in service to memes.

In terms of things that appear in theaters. I don't expect to see Netflix exclusives on the aisles.

And the market for discs isn't what it used to be. The long tail seems nonexistent now, it's a shame old remasters aren't coming through it any more. The last one I bought was the Star Trek TNG remaster, which was on blu-ray (and looked fantastic)
Great. Now what's a "bug" and what's actually not a bug but some other category of thing so that we don't have to drop whatever else we're doing to fix it?

Places with zero bugs policies seem to have much branchier defect taxonomies than everyone else.

I've also seen shops just decide to ignore entire classes of problems so that they don't put too many rows in their bug database. So, willful ignorance is another option. I don't recommend it, though.

Correct. They provided no way to appeal, but I had escalated internally via a friend of a friend who worked there. I was waiting for their response, and just heard back that even someone working there was unable to get in touch with the team that could handle this (Or maybe there is no internal way to mitigate bad algorithm decisions).
If all of them are close and regularly reach out with those methods normally maybe your child isn't as well liked as she thinks, then.

The main argument for another small bank account to interface with PayPals of this world is not that it cannot fail, but if it does it is an easily survivable event.
I had an issue with Paypal for 5-6 years because I paid a kid in Indonesia $50 for a sketch, realized Paypal had charged a transaction fee despite documentation showing they wouldn't, and tried to send another $10 to cover the difference.

They asked for and got a bunch of documentation out of me until they kept asking for more and more and, eventually, I declined to participate in the process any further.

It came up every year or so that it'd be nice to have a working Paypal account, so I'd try and fail to resolve it.

Anyway, about a month ago, I tried again and got in touch with someone who was able to understand that there was no way that my largely inactive account would be "more secure" if I sent them credit card statements (since the card originally linked to the account was long expired and there was no way I was sending them statements for a new card when they clearly had internal information-handling issues...at least from my perspective). She verified my physical and email address and removed the block.

By the time the CS rep had resoved the issue, I'd worked around the problem again, so I still haven't used the account, but, at least for Paypal, it does seem like they've empowered folks to fix silly problems.

It might be worth trying again.
I‘m not sure standing 4+ hours a day has been established as healthy without exception. Long sitting is bad, sure; but switching things around ad libitum might be better than enforcing standing all the time.

I know we all hate politicians, but think this through for half a minute. It is already illegal to knowingly accept donations from people you know are not allowed to make them (like foreign nationals). What you're advocating is a setup where if someone commits fraud, it sends someone else to jail.

They can't. I think that the US thinks that no one will use atomic bombs if they engage in a conventional war overseas.
I was trying to escalate via internal contacts and waiting to hear back is all. Once I heard back that even someone internal was unable to help I figured I'd just post a reminder for everyone here.
To clarify:

1. I agree the bug should be fixed.

2. I don't work on Chrome anymore and have not for 8 years. I should have made that more clear.

3. I was responding to the claim: 'the entire chain of people working on this has been asleep at the wheel'. OP was assuming this bug has existed forever. I know for a fact it hasn't, because I remember caring about getting this right and implementing custom UI for it. I also listed some other things we improved over status quo at the time, which refute this claim.

4. Based on my knowledge of how this all used to work, it's not as big an issue as the original article and several people in this thread are making it seem, because the review process is really the primary safety check in the system. It needs to be because, as many have noted, most users don't read the dialog. Extensions are required to have a single purpose and extraneous permissions aren't allowed. And if an extension with a large number of permissions was approved, extensions (and updates) are reviewed both with automated and manual processes, and it would be difficult to get a malicious extension through the process or to get large numbers of users on it.

I still agree the bug should be fixed. We cared a lot about getting this UI right when we originally implemented it, and it's unfortunate that it regressed.
Right now, the only options are Charles Schwab with a workaround [1], and Wealthfront and Betterment with native OTP 2FA.

As someone who grew in both eastern europe and the west, this view you have is quite wrong. The amount of stupidity on the left about "equality" and where it leads is very large, a lot of people believe it, even though it leads to more murderous places than right wing extremism ever did.

Contrary to you I don't believe these people are stupid, I just think the utopian vision of equality is a very potent one, but it also happens to be the most destructive path paved with good intentions.

Both sides have a lot of stupid ideas at the extremes, and there aren't less or more people who believe them, it just depends on how willing you are to look objectively.

>Results trickle in, and you can adjust dynamically as needed.

But you are still missing the point. You can't just act immediately. You need to lay the groundwork for acting. This group needs the ability to act in numerous states before they know which states to actually attack. That means even if they don't end up needing to change any votes in a given state, they still need the capability to change the votes. They can't just start the attack on election day. These systems have to already be compromised or at least have a confirmed way to compromise them. The hard work needs to be done before election day and any results are known.

>Coercion/bribing schemes are already illegal

And so is hacking a voting machine so I guess we don't have to worry about that either.

> at any meaningful scale they would collapse instantly because this would actually require your "widespread conspiracy."

But we aren't just worried about centralized conspiracies. A third party knowing how you vote creates new problems that we want to avoid. For example, now you have abusive partners demanding their significant other votes a certain way or an unethical boss demanding their employees vote for a specific candidate. The importance of individual ballots being secret goes beyond who wins the election.

>Add in a large "finders fee" for outing said conspiracies and the entire notion of them as a threat becomes silly.

Always smart to incentivize people to make stuff up for money. If this actually worked, why not just institute it for any election manipulation?
