> “I don’t have those documents” is an acceptable response to a subpoena, so it’s not like he has to come up with stuff he doesn’t already have.

Speaking from experience, better be sure you word that response right, or you might accidentally give them reason to push harder/further. You need a lawyer to fight against good lawyers.

> Molson also has rights. The discovery process isn’t supposed to be used to overwhelm or harass third parties, so he should move to quash if he really is being overwhelmed

While you're right, the process of even doing this will cost you a minimum of $10k USD if you're in a wealthy area in the coastal US. Which for a corporation is nothing, you likely have in-house counsel you're already paying for that can do this legal boilerplate.

But as an individual it's terrifying and incredibly stressful.

I'm surprised databricks (effectively) is willing to shutter a database service with 1 months notice.

What does that say about their own products? What if you integrate their products and are locked to their platform without any easy migration options?

If they lose interest on one of their own services, you very well may have 1 month to move, and 2 months to have a chance at keeping your data.
> This reeks of marketing and a push for early regulatory capture. We already know how Sam Altman thinks AI risk should be mitigated - namely by giving OpenAI more market power.

This really is the crux of the issue isn't it? All this pushback for the first petition, because "Elon Musk," but now GPT wonder Sam Altman "testifies" that he has "no monetary interest in OpenAI" and quickly follows up his proclamation with a second "Statement on AI Risks." Oh, and let's not forget, "buy my crypto-coin"!

But Elon Musk... Ehh.... Looking like LOTR out here with "my precious" AGI on the brain.

Not to downplay the very serious risk at all. Simply echoing the sentiment that we would do well to stay objective and skeptical of ALL these AI leaders pushing new AI doctrine. At this stage, it's a policy push and power grab.
> Everyone says how these are the best places to work

No they don't. Many people believe these are the best places to work, and the vast majority of those people have never worked there. They also tend to not have a whole lot of experience working as a SWE. I know many people currently working at or having worked for a FAANG. It was not the experience most had hoped.

As for me, I enjoy solving what I call real-world problems. These are problems being experienced by many people. By solving them you're actually helping make the world a better place. That helps me get through the BS that's part of every job.

Sports (both playing in amateur leagues and attending local teams), seeing live music, and participating in local arts collectives. I tried computer related communities (hacker spaces, meetups, etc), but it always felt like it was just work in disguise or people trying to turn fun into resume fodder or networking for professional purposes. So I just try to find people with mutual interests that are orthogonal to my day job.

Light background for books IMHO is no more natural than dark background for old CRT displays - both are what works best for a given medium: while making dark paper is not harder than light one, it is hard to make a pencil or ink which would be clearly visible on black paper (white markers do exists but they are a recent invention). Blackboard and chalk where natural until we got plastic whiteboards and easy to erase markers.

Modern screens are more or less unique in not limiting background colors so we can use any and and argue which one is better.
All the while remembering that all transactions in bitcoin have a permanent ledger - so many friends seemed to think that bitcoin is somehow secret and anonymous - there are ways to make it more so, but by default it is much less anonymous than cold hard cash.
FedNow is the replacement for ETF. It is a service not an app. Venmo, Cashapp, and Zelle apps are built on top of ETF service. Those apps will presumably switch to FedNow. It is will likely be integrated into bank apps sort of like Zelle is now. I really hope that different apps will be able to send money to each other.
Sure. It's convenient to public transit. Really no reason to catch a cab to downtown unless you have a lot of luggage, you're going in or out at a weird time, or home is somewhere inconvenient to public transit. I was responding to literal "walking." (I live outside the city personally and transit doesn't really work.)

- If you don't find a community for something you want to do, then start one!

- Local sports clubs

- Volunteering

- Start going to EDM parties - pretty soon you'll see the same people. Say, "hi".

- Facebook groups for pretty much everything.

- Do what kids in the 80's did, and many still do: go to the local playground, and ask if you could also play with them.

Why do commercial greenhouses have CO2 generators? I am not following your argument at all. I haven't seen evidence for your first claim (and asked you a follow-up question related to that). We're not cutting down flora for meat farming. We are changing some environments over to farming, but that farm land is largely being used to raise...more plants. In addition, I remember seeing a study (I don't have time to try and find it) that showed that we have more trees now than anytime in the last 500 years.

Your third claim (flora also don't grow that rapidly) is just an assertion that doesn't really make sense to me. And the final statement about fossil fuels is a non sequitur.
It should work in C++17 too, the compile settings are just left over from something else I was doing on CE.
pricing is achieved via SAP, so you can imagine how even the people working there have no idea of the real price :)
Cardio exercise is absolutely dreadful. Try lifting weights, heavy ones (after studying form via YouTube videos and verifying that your form is correct on lighter weights). Pushing your limits is neither boring nor time-consuming. 45 minutes is enough for a vigorous workout.
No it’s not. I’m saying Americans are afraid of slippery slopes and it’s leaving them paralyzed to affect any change, instead of accepting that the world is messy and the role of governing is to navigate this. In your analogy it would be like they are afraid to build any houses because a house fire could destroy it.

Okasaki got me interested in confluently persistent data-structures, way back in the 2000s.

They seem magical! To be able to combine data from the past with current data, efficiently!

They are almost always trees, with the exception of skip-lists, with all operations O(log(n)), .

After creating my own programming language Enchilada that is based on immutable data structures, I started considering what I deemed "next level":

Uniquely represented confluently persistent data structures

Combined with a Merkle tree encoding of such uniquely represented data structures (they are almost always trees), you can efficiently and incrementally authenticate them. Think 'block chain' on steroids, with incremental cryptographic hashes. Or torrents, if you are into that kind of thing.
HONK!-style bands - street/brass bands - you don't need to be good - you can learn an instrument and just hang out and play fun music. Through mine, we've played at Mardi Gras (Chewbacchus), Timber!, Burning Man events, Comicons, birthdays, weddings, etc.

How do you find out about these? I hear about some by word of mouth but I'd like to accelerate the process.
> I feel that AngularJS (v1) did that years before React, and maybe even other MVC frameworks before that.

Angular markup lives in templates which are used to generate and update the UI, while React markup lives in expressions which evaluate to values. This is a subtle but key difference. I would argue React isn't even an MVC framework (though it sorta pretended to be one for a while)

I'm curious to hear what studies you were thinking of. FWIW, N95 filter material has been repeatedly seen to block viral particles.

In the Cochrane review [1] they found

> relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusion

That is, studies which took a random group of people and said "please wear a mask, so we can see if you catch less $DISEASE," weren't effective...because people wouldn't wear the mask. This is, I think, a useful result--but it doesn't mean that wearing a mask doesn't stop disease from spreading; it means that telling people to wear a mask doesn't work so well.

Why are you trying to run an MTA on a residential network? I suspect you are confused about how things work. The standard SMTP port (25) is for communication among MTAs and yes, residential networks block it (as they should) as any home PC sending on it is 99.999999999% likely to be part of a botnet. Sending mail from a home PC to the outside world is done by submitting it to an MTA on the SMTP Submission port (587) which your email provider should have given you credentials to. Home ISPs don't block port 587 AFAIK.

This is the a false conclusion so many seem to be falling for. YOU couldn't write or do art like a professional before, and now you can do 90% of it with some caveats.

> I notice a lot of posters seek out tech communities. While I get why a nerd would want to do that, I have a different tendency.

Absolutely! I genuinely enjoy writing code at work, but I literally never do it in my spare time. I already spend a greater number of waking hours in front of my computer than I do with my friends and family (or playing music, or mountain biking, or...).
>Except none of that is happening here, they can leave whenever they want. They just don't want to because they feel this is the best job they can get given their particular circumstance.

This is a non-sequitur both in general and in the specific case of the goat herders from Peru. You're aware that ff you're a goat herder, its not like your decades of skill transfer easily to working in a warehouse? This is not "I happened into goat herding 3 months ago, and now I'm not sure I could do better". This is "I've been living around goats since I was born, and actively raising goats since I could walk".

> From Jan 2019 to now we've had 17.4% inflation. Your purchasing power of the money in your bank account has been reduced. How have other assets faired in that time?

My home value has tripled, and the S&P500 has gone dramatically up. Series I savings bonds are also a useful option if I'm really all that worried about the stuff in savings, as their interest rate is pegged to inflation numbers.

If we're going to carefully pick dates to make our arguments ("Jan 2019 to now" having had some... outlier stuff going on, after all) I'm gonna ask how hedging with crypto starting in April or October of 2021 would've gone. Remind me the purchasing power of a $64k Bitcoin today?

Reason magazine is such a neoliberal joke. Libertairanism had some interesting things to say in the 1970’s but since the Heritage foundation and Koch brothers types took it over in the 1980’s its just mainstream centrism dressed up in funny arguments for “quirky” people.
End users traverse the same core equipment no matter what the last mile cable media is. Newer fiber builds may have more efficient core gear or have more capacity but this is all limited by the ratio of users served by a particular backhaul link, and also the topology and configurations made by the operator. Large networks are a challenge for some.

Fiber is a lot less susceptible to water intrusion but still has the same potential for outages due to cable damage along roadsides and on aerial poles with power lines.

Open source projects. I am building a side project in Rust and contribute to crates along the way. I also do 3d printing of stuff - I’m building a device to freeze air (co2 waypoint hit, next oxygen and nitrogen) using only thermoelectric chips and all the enclosures etc I’m designing in build123d a parametric cad system in Python. So I have a lot of discord communities that I interact with and it’s been great. Since I started working from home 6 years ago I’ve also built up a network of nerd friends in my local community / neighborhood that I interact with regularly. In fact remote work has let me build a real community in my life. Being very senior your relationships at work can be very transactional. Being locked into a human hamster wheel chicken coop with a bunch of people who need something from me all work day then the rest of my day commuting and being exhausted meant I was very lonely.
But where's the value?

I see lots of gambling, lots of scams, and very little actual use outside the "classical" use cases that existed at the very beginning. These are wire transfer and black/grey market commerce.
Too bad Alexa failed even at basic tasks, I bought an Amazon BRANDED smart microwave/oven, which worked fine until on Thanksgiving I told it “bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes” from the upstairs (my kid had put the food in while I was in the shower), and it wasn’t until 20 minutes later I smelled smoke that I realized Alexa had somehow interpreted “_ at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes” (I looked at the Alexa log of how it had parsed my words, to try to figure out where it went wrong) to mean “please burn down my house”.

I’ve also noticed they aren’t selling that microwave anymore.

Interesting - the Wikimedia Commons file is what I'd consider "correct", but the Wikipedia file that links to it is not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_India.svg

Most airports have moved to a centralized rental car location that is still inside the airport perimeter, so not sure how this is helping? The ride share algos are still going to recognize you are at the airport and charge you accordingly

My girlfriend used Bumble BFF to find friends and the friends she found had partners. We found a community surprisingly quickly. But we explicitly wanted the opposite of what it seems many here want: more friends in tech. We wanted a more balanced community.

Now we have friends we hike with, mountain bike with, ski with, go mushroom foraging, host dinners, play trivia, etc.
You are historically accurate. For a long time there was a lot of fiber that physically hopped through Hawaii, but didn’t actually talk to any gear locally (switches/routers). It was just an optical landing/regen station.

These days I believe there is less “optical only regen” and more IP-connected links.

As you know, Java and PHP are languages. React is just a framework, and by design not a particularly robust one on its own. It just provides a front end, everything else has to be plugged in separately, learned, maintained, and ultimately cast aside and forgotten separately.

If you're a React developer, you'll have noticed that Javascript itself has changed a lot in ten years. The state management library your company uses has probably changed too. Compared to ten years ago, you're now writing fully-typed JS with Typescript. The additional libraries for authentication and persistence, and so on, have all changed as well. You may be using a graph-based database now. You may have a different JS runtime on the server. All of your tooling has probably changed, as has your IDE.

Whether React itself has or has not changed more than other frameworks, I can't say. But, I'd bet the stack used by the average front end developer has. Please recall that the original comment we're both talking about was referring to complaints about how much the front end has changed, with React only being the context of the comment, and not the sole cause of the complaint.

Pretty much our brains are liars shoveling a bullshit reality at us every moment of the day. It's amazing we've got as far as we have, and it's amazing that many of these things are pretty recent discoveries in human history.
I think it boils down to whether laundering money should be legal. As far as I know, it is, in this sense.

- Everybody acknowledges Purdue Pharma broke the law and acted unethically.

- Everyone acknowledges Purdue Pharma made a lot of money directly from doing the above.

- Everyone acknowledges the Sackler family took a lot of money out of Purdue Pharma, including after they specifically knew Purdue Pharma was likely to pay judgements for the above.

- What's unclear is how we should treat the Sackler money as a result of all of this.

Bankruptcy law, as I understand it, limits itself to the possibly-enforceable and attempts to generate the best outcome for creditors.

Which by definition involves negotiation between profiteering owners (who want to give up as little of their ill-gotten money as possible) and creditors (who want as much money as possible).

And since, at the end of the day, owners can always hide money overseas or in trusts... creditors have an incentive to settle for less-than-everything.

So this is less about criminal culpability and more about negotiation.

I was on call in the biomed field many many years ago, one week a month. I got a separate line item on my check for that. It wasn't much but I was compensated. Rarely got calls either, because I didn't support operating room equipment and there was a call centre (third-party) that followed a script (honed over time) to root out issues that weren't "emergencies".

Why we as a profession allow for "free labour" by being on call escapes me. No, the salary I got paid wasn't for being on call, it was for doing my normal 9 to 5 functions as a specialist.
