We should note that they settled against Dominion Voting Systems which is one of the weakest points in the entire US democratic apparatus. There is a strong argument that DVS shouldn't have a market to sell to and that voting should be done entirely with pen and paper. Tracking whether their voting machines are secure and appropriately tamper-resistant is too hard and the use of electronic voting undermines confidence in the vote.

So while lying about what is happening is supremely unhelpful; this is an area where the freest of free speech standards should be applied. Cracks in the technical foundations of how votes are tallied are extremely dangerous and all scrutiny should be invited. Voting processes should be held to an extremely high standard of transparency.

My preferred outcome here is that Dominion gets its 700 billion from Fox News in settlement for all the lies then closes its doors and ceases trading.
Looks like it but what cartoon world do we live in where a bill for logging is 65 million.
I am generally inclined to agree, I think it would be best for society as a whole to not allow any service to be selling user information in the way which is common. I think having data available can be abused, but I don't really think this is a good example since the "victims" are people getting held to standards they vow to uphold.

HTTP is stateless. This is the whole point of the hypermedia paradigm.

If you have a page with many partial UI page changes over htmx, then yes, this paradigm puts increased load on the server, but your DB will almost certainly be your bottleneck before this will be, just as in the SPA case.

Yup, they did that to our team too. Calling my coworker during the evening, emailing me and messaging me on LinkedIn at the same time. When I said "no thanks" they replied with a message to set up a meeting. Went from a maybe someday to a never real quick. They really need to rethink their marketing.

This is about your view of morals as they relate to religion though, right? Legally speaking priests are employees and the church is the employer. I think our government system should treat them as such.

Whether it’s right or wrong from the perspective of the church or followers of the religion should be separate from our rules about privacy.
I agree. These decisions are not made economically, they are made politically. And the big complicated thing is far more prestigious.

Then let's say half of our profession has less than five years of experience (though I would guess it's closer to two years) -- they see what the elders do and copy that, like any good apprentice would. Suddenly, it's all they know.

For any Spanish speakers in here, I got inspired by this and borrowed Mark Dominus' code to find the "best anagram" in Spanish, my results are here: https://github.com/pilaf/anagramas

On that chart, labor productivity is defined as output per labor hour.

You can think of it as company revenue per hour worked.

This is a standard definition: https://www.bls.gov/k12/productivity-101/content/what-is-pro...

I don't know that it's a very useful metric for businesses that are capital intensive. For example, say you automate your factory and have only one employee left, who is in charge of turning the machines off each day. That person's labor productivity would be off the chart, but it's not because they've become more 'productive' in the regular sense of the word.
It would be a bit odd to build capacity for spot instances. The whole point of low priority, preemptable instances is to fill up the capacity that you have available, but have earmarked for scheduling big jobs or handling failures (say a power domain or decent chunk of the network goes down).

Otherwise they would be no different from any other instance type.
You can move the goalposts, but still aren't getting to "astronomical" energy, just linear with the mass. If a Dragon or Soyuz craft has fuel for 400m/s in orbit maneuvering, that's about 40m/s for a 10x more massive structure. So definitely plausible, could even happen over a large number of crew rotations.

Both crafts are automated so you could hypothetically use the payload mass and volume to deliver extra fuel tanks, with plumbing to the onboard engines. So a full orbit change could happen in a few such flights.
“BlackBerry” Tracks a Tech Dream That Died
Name one major platform that if you watch LGBTQ related content you don't get suggested more LGBTQ related content. You can only do that if you track it, and each specific category within it as it's not just one category and many niches within each category. This is no different than any other category, like rock music or classical, and more specific various subgenre within (modern rock, classic rock, 70's rock, hard rock, speed metal, heavy metal, nu metal, grunge, etc). If you don't categorize content and don't categorize viewers, you can't recommend like content. So I'm wondering where this "industry practice" is actually implemented beyond virtue signaling to the media.

I don't want to deny your experience but I want to provide a counterpoint. I actually find PETG easier and more reliable to print with than PLA, aside from a little bit more stringing. It's especially good for large objects because the warping is very minimal, and it has more strength and flexibility than PLA, and better inter-layer bonding strength, so I don't have to worry as much about brittle failures or print orientation. I use a Prusa MK3S+, with Prusa's textured sheet. After setting the first-layer Z height properly and cleaning the bed with an alcohol pad, it works flawlessly basically every time. I've used both Prusa's PETG and 3rd party filaments with equal success.

After many years of falling out of love with 3D printing, PETG helped me fall back in love with it.
Your numbers are very outdated. Exact figures and targets aren't usually announced, but both Waymo has talked about their upcoming vehicle being designed around a cost/mile ratio lower than consumer vehicles. That's not possible without very reasonable production costs. Cruise has also announced a target production price for their vehicle of $50k at scale, which is around the price of a new Tesla. That's not apples to apples, but it's close enough.

I think what we parents are trying to communicate is that babysitting does not compare with parenting much at all. (I can't think of an effective analogy, unfortunately.)

It is true that parenting isn't for everyone. But you can find babysitting unpleasant and yet still find much joy and fulfillment in parenting. So I wouldn't suggest allowing your babysitting experiences to play a significant role in your decision about whether to have children.

(The inverse might be the case, though -- if you really enjoy babysitting then that could bode well for you liking parenting. I can't speak as well to that, but it seems plausible.)

And, as others have said, your coparent is a huge factor as well.

It depends. For example, you can theoretically fit more people into crowded bike lanes than you can into crowded streets. But around here at least, bike lanes don't get a lot of people. I lived by one for years that I don't think I ever saw a bicycle on once. But even when not in use, all of that space is still being set aside for cyclists.

> "we have 100 people so require 20 microservices"

Is this something that actually happened? Not heard from some third party - actually has someone experienced this as a decision in a technical team? It seems... unlikely.
One technological solution could be a "Package ID":

Imagine if every can, bottle, box, bag, utensil,.. contained a clearly legible identifier, that was machine readable (QR code?), that linked back to the manufacturer.

Then all these wasteful packages could be scanned and sorted using vision systems, and sent back to the originating manufacturer for disposal.

By making the producers responsible for cleanup it will surely change their balance sheet, and they will be forced to change. Or go bankrupt. Because their current business model is not viable when the costs of their environmental impact are considered.

Yeah, if you are just pumping out generic jira ticket work which doesn't require interaction with anyone else, of course remote works well. If you are actually trying to move fast, throw ideas around, and collaborate, nothing beats being in the same room.

Fortune runs almost daily articles that are anti WFH. The entire publication has become an elite mouthpiece sadly.

If you check in with this terrible publication from time to time you will just see anti-worker articles sprinkled in. This site is more propaganda than news.

Still strong disagree with that, having kids involves a lot of rote activities that are infused with meaning and joy if they’re for your kids. If you have a strong enough reaction that babysitting will give useful information (because you omg love kids, or because the very sound of crying makes you vomit) then you probably know that already; otherwise the babysitting exercise is going to be completely misleading.
According to Wikipedia, "After some convicted SPMs successfully sued the Post Office, 555 convictions were declared unsafe and to have been obtained unlawfully."

555 wrongful convictions in British courts alone, related to a single corporate entity.

A small glimpse into the scale of atrocities committed by "justice" systems every day. I have no doubt that wrongful convictions account for double-digit percentages of the total, in every country. Which is absolutely insane, because it means that in a typical prison housing a few hundred inmates, there are dozens of innocent people.

And hardly a mention of it in the mainstream press, at least not compared to its impact. This should have been front page every day for the past 20 years.
Three years on, we’ve all seen the blitzkrieg of studies on the front page of HN proving WFH productivity…

It's okay for an infitely burstable product to delay provisioning services by 24 hours and require you to capacity plan in specific detail before you can use things?

I don't agree. Their reality distortion field is fooling customers, AWS has their cake and eats it too. Try being a startup and spin up 1000 c6in.8xlarge for a 2 hour batch job.

I’m happy that I’m under no obligation to procreate, nor to raise children I don’t want. What’s miserable about that?
Micro-services are currently on trend so hard to argue with unless you are a founder. Maybe the best thing to do for the industry in general is go absolutely nuts with microservices. Factor projects so every method is a separate service / lambda. If anyone complains, use the single responsibility principal to snuff out all opposition.

Once we've explored this to its logical conclusion the pendulum will swing back to something more logical. Of course, it will swing too far and the cool kids will only want to work on monoliths even when it doesn't make sense (kind of like what is happening now with SQL maximalism).
That’sa possible alternative but the experience here in Germany shows that landlords will use every loophole available to get back to profit maximizing = just rent to upper middle class. Or alternatively they’ll just let low cost units rot away without the required maintenance. The effort to enforce this system is arguably better spend on simply running it yourself.

Sure you could, but it would take a much longer time and you'd miss lots of functionality. How long would it take you to build user registration / verification / password recovery / 2fa / sso / profile editing / spam registration prevention / etc. ? How long would it take instead to include some Laravel module which does all of that? If you're building a service with some purpose, do you really want to spend days writing the first option instead?

It's measured the same as any other quantity with political implications: However the author of the article in question wants it to be measured.
And their broader thrust in the post is less the forever and more of the "own your mistakes". Don't pretend like you never had a free forever plan.

Their promise seems to be less "we'll ACTUALLY be free forever" and more "we're free right now, but if that's going to change, we'll communicate with you".
Thank you for your thoughtful response, here are a couple of items for your consideration.

> This is about your view of morals as they relate to religion though, right? Legally speaking priests are employees and the church is the employer.

Everyone involved in this discussion is positing moral views that are independent from the current law. It's apparently legal for companies to sell their users personal data, just as a priest may be legally considered an "employee" even though I don't think that is what a priest is.

> I think our government system should treat them as such.

> Whether it’s right or wrong from the perspective of the church or followers of the religion should be separate from our rules about privacy.

I would disagree that the government should treat priests as employees, but regrettably I think this won't be a fruitful venue for discussing this since it's likely that we have too many different priors in this area that would take too long to hash out.

In terms of how privacy rules should work, I am generally inclined to support generalized prohibitions on selling/distributing user data without an explicit voluntary opt-in. Where I likely differ is in that I don't believe that in principle it's wrong to use available data in ways that I see as being moral. If a company has data that would prove one of their users is a serial killer I'd say they'd have the obligation to use that to help the killer get caught, but I also think generally in order to prevent greater societal evils that user data should be protected.

I'll try an example, hopefully it's not too strained. I think spying on people in their homes would be bad, it would be detrimental to familial privacy and unity among other things. But if someone happens to see into someone's house and witness a crime I wouldn't have any issue with that crime being reported. So I can say we should have laws preventing peeping toms/protecting privacy in homes while also not seeing every instantiation of acquiring information as being immoral in and of itself. Hope that makes sense, I'm a bit scrambled right now regrettably.
