Re-reading my comment, I shouldn’t have said “impossible”. Yes, any theory that successfully quantizes gravitation will allow superpositions of gravitational worlds. String theory likely does this, though some will quibble with the phenomelogy as to whether it reproduces general relativity as we know it.

>I say that’s also important in giving certain types of government advice. Supposing a senator asked you for advice about whether drilling a hole should be done in his state; and you decide it would he better in some other state. If you don’t publish such a result, it seems to me you’re not giving scientific advice. You’re being used. If your answer happens to come out in the direction the government or the politicians like, they can use it as an argument in their favor; if it comes out the other way, they don’t publish it at all. That’s not giving scientific advice.

These articles are fun. Just don't take them too serious. On the one hand, the place is on fire, on the other, some newb can do the job of 20 people.

"Twitter's layoffs have resulted in an extensive reorganization of remaining workers, the engineer told the BBC. He said that one "totally new" staff member without expertise was now doing a job that used to be done by more than 20 people. The New York Times previously reported that some junior employees have been left in charge of areas they haven't worked on before."

The Reddit trick is increasingly less viable as marketers are astroturfing Reddit.
Respectfully, It sounds like you're speculating without having read the requisite anthropological work that it's based on. Many of the things you describe are not really accurate with how we understand pre-writing human culture.

It completely changed HOW humans organized around resources

From the link:

>Areas of genuine resource scarcity, once a transient phenomena, became frequent and pervasive, driving humans to hunt progressively smaller game, forage more intensively and increased the pervasiveness of hoarding behaviors

This is based on thorough research linked in the paper and indicates that the PRESSURE from the change in hunting types, caused the innovation of private property in order to maintain the relative ease of calorie access compared with smaller fauna hunting (which was done also).

Think about it like this, if your lifestyle is nomadic and you more or less follow herds around eating them (and any foraging) as necessary and then those herds die off, it completely changes how you live. Certain groups became great small game hunters, some became fishermen, some decided to be more agrarian etc...but the reality was that the lifestyle completely changed basically overnight (in evolutionary terms) and humans had to adapt as a result.

There's a ton of variability in response starting in 10k BC, but the longer term iterated "optimal" resource production very clearly became intensive agriculture and animal husbandry - at the cost of our actual humanity in my opinion.

Ah, do you have even the slightest clue about Switzerland?! I mean, it's quite impressive how you seem to have confused Switzerland for a highly centralised country with a distant political structure.

Could you go and do some research on the country before you comment on it?

The Swiss military is _huge_ for its size. It has one of the largest militaries per capita in the world.
I don't agree with this, but I think the case can be made by those on The Office side that WFH does poison the culture. Culture is immutable, so any change to it recreates it. For some folks, being seen is contributing. Being able to swing by a cube and look over a shoulder is important. Taking that away takes something away from them. Again, I don't agree, I've work from home for nearly ten years now, but I see their point.

I think it also threatens them, because we're challenging a norm, and change is scary. They like the office, and us wanting to WFH makes it seem like the office is bad, and they're bad for liking it. No one likes their cheese moved.

Yes, just a couple of days ago I asked it to write a Pytorch Lighning module for me, it looked great at first sight. But it mixed up the dimensions and made other hard to see bugs. It was frustrating to fix, almost the same effort with writing the damn thing manually.
Here's an easy one for you: if you have a gigabit connection, most home routers can barely handle the load of NAT. That's why gamers push for IPv6. It's mentioned in the article but few people realize how inefficient NAT can be at gigabit and more.

My ISP router could do max 800 mbps, which isn't so bad, but it degraded when we were multiple people using the link. With IPv6 it's much less of a problem, we can easily saturate the 1gbps without the router having a meltdown.
It's not either or - it's both
I might go so far as to say C:S is a traffic and transportation simulator. The city building parts are all there, and they're reasonably fun.

But the ultimate limiting factor with my cities was transportation. No matter how much I worked on mass transit, I couldn't get more than 80-90% of my citizens to use it, and the remaining cars eventually choked even fancy road systems into tailbacks and gridlock.

To be fair, this is a problem with real cities, too.

> I don't want anything on my network to be globally routable.

Then... don't route anything on your network.

NAT is address translation, not routing.

NAT makes it difficult for you to host services on your network, forcing dependency on cloud services, and when ISPs do it (CGNAT), it makes it just about impossible unless you want to thread your traffic back through a third-party service. If you want a good chance of keeping some semblance of an Internet around that isn't dominated by huge centralized services, the cargo cult of "NAT is security" needs to die hard.
NAT and a Firewall are two different concepts.

What's wrong with a firewall that blocks everything by default, yet all your devices have a public IP?

I've been witness to this "War on General Computing", being a 31 year old human who's used computers for the better part of 28-29 years of that time.

I'm not convinced the shift you're describing as far as UX writing is anywhere near as concerning as the actual war on general computing with respect to running the OS you want, the software you want, with restrictions as necessary for security but not for vendor lock-in.
My Akai S1000 sampler from the late 80s still has it's floppy drive, which I occasionally still use even though it has a modern SD-card based emulated SCSI hard disk as well. I could change the floppy to a Gotek USB drive, but I'm not interested

OPEX and CAPEX costs are significantly reduced with native IPv6 vs large NAT deployments. Adding layers to stretch IPv4 = complexity/gear. Gear/complexity = higher costs.

And if you're already moving away from perimeter defense, to more identity based zero-trust, the move to IPv6 makes much sense.
I have been using Wise (formerly TransferWise - which is how I still refer to it) for close to 8-9 years at this point...and this UX/UI design is one of the most horrific and unpleasant one I have seen in years.

It is not one of those "I got used to the design so much so this change annoys me" - it is one of those "works useful, iconic, and there was no point in ruining it."

This behavior reminds me of "justifying" their job or gaining points in front of the Management by having useless but visible projects (something I have heard was a frequent problem at Google fwiw).

Green color is great for enabling color-blind folks to navigate. Sure, but it did not require a completely cartoonish overhaul of the UI Design.

I remember following every update to this game prior to launch. I hated that it required an Origins account and all that but I signed up regardless just to play this game. And I recall having a good time with this game... for a while.

Unfortunately EA's lack of support for the game was definitely felt by us consumers. It started off well enough but instead of becoming a better game they turned it into a brand-tie-in DLC-fest.

It's hard working at an organization on such a long, ambitious project that the leadership wasn't prepared to support and didn't really believe in to begin with. As a developer I've been on such projects and I recall being invested in the work itself, the project, and our users: but getting management on-board to give it the funding and direction it needed was always a struggle.

Alternative to HSMs: Always Encrypted HashiCorp Vault by Enclaive
HashiCorp vault is the de-facto key management solution to rotate keys in docker, docker swarm or k8s environments. So far, HashiCorp Vault allowed for data-at-rest encryption of keys and secrets.

The open sourced project "always encrypted Hashicorp vault" by team enclaive makes sure keys and secrets are encrypted at runtime (aka data-in-use encryption) without changing or limiting the functionality and performance of the vault.

Always encrypted Hashicorp vault is an attractive alternative to HSMs, allowing businesses to drastically reduces security expenses.

Anecdata, but both of the ones by me typically have lines unless you go during slow times (9-11am, 2pm-4pm, after 9pm).

It's surprising how fast they are. The duo can frequently scan and bag faster than I can pull stuff out of my cart.

> After a few seconds of "thinking", I eventually give a response that is no different to my knee-jerk reaction.

In interviews with Magnus Carlsen and the other top players, they all seem to say the same thing: the big difference between a short game (bullet/blitz) and a long game is that they'll have more time to verify the move in the long game. They don't spend more time finding the move.

I find this resonates with me. Very often the instinctive solution I come up with on the spot is often a very good solution and requires only minor tweaks.

> I internally start to panic (mainly thinking whether I have considered everything and the response is correct)

I just add a caveat: "I think X is a good solution but I have not had time to consider all the edge cases, so I will have to verify and come back to you" or similar.

Or, if the problem is complicated I'll just say that: "There are a lot of complexities/edge cases to consider here, I need to think more thoroughly about this. I'll get back to you later".

> I am quite happy that all those shady IoT devices cannot be reached from the internet directly when I am using IPv4 and NAT - what would be the best way forward to keep it that way in a IPv6-only future?

The same exact way you do it right now.

Think of NAT as an implicit default-deny firewall rule, that's all it's doing.

Basically any firewall worth using will do exactly the same thing in IPv6, deny unsolicited inbound traffic unless explicitly allowed.

For some reason there's this belief out there that a device having a globally routable IP address inherently means it's globally reachable, and that's just not true. Your firewall still works exactly the same way.
> I haven't seen any study linking interview outcomes with on the job performance e.g. yearly performance rating or promotions. In fact many people have requested this data over the years.

But that is exactly what Google did, they linked the interview results to later performance evaluations and that is the correlation I'm talking about. The better they scored on the interviews the better the performance reviews they got later. The correlation was very stable and didn't just appear at low levels.

Your company might not have done such a study, but Google did.

That is true, the data I saw is nearing a decade old now, but at least the data back then showed that it worked.

Put internet of shit devices on their own VLAN(s). Almost all wifi APs today support multiple SSIDs with separate VLANs. Have your firewall block inbound connections to devices on that VLAN. Every OS firewall has built-in support for this.

> Is it like, base android without hardware drivers? Does this make it easier to maintain 3rd party android roms?

More or less. The AOSP is the free portion of the Android codebase (licensed in Apache) and actually accounts for the vast majority of Android code you run. Google then adds their services to the OS and preinstalls it on most phones. Most people derive custom roms from a combination of AOSP code and official (albeit proprietary) drivers.

Since you disagree with my characterization, I'd also be happy to consider what you think I have misattributed there.

Overall the point is simply that you are not working with a steady state system here.

Whether one mode of working confers a competitive advantage probably has more to do with how much effort has been put behind streamlining that process. If that is indeed the case, then you might find yourself saying this about any change to any process that doesn't just wipe the market and create a whole new competition environment.

There's no good reason to throw our hands up and say there's nothing we can do to make one or the other situation work better, especially when the benefits are great, numerous, and include increased productivity overall.
It's worth noting that NAT is not a security feature in itself, but rather a way of conserving public IP addresses and hiding the internal network structure. The best way is to use a stateful firewall that is built into nearly every router.

Another option is to use IPv6 Unique Local Addresses (ULA), which are similar to private IPv4 addresses and can only be used within a specific site. This approach enables internal connectivity for devices that do not require direct access to the Internet. I use it for several IoT devices that I do not want reaching out to the mothership.
Maybe you don't want to reveal your internal infrastructure to the world? Seems like basic opsec.
