I love extending arguments to logical absurdity to see where they fall apart. I have an airbrush my mom gave me when I was a teen. It has sentimental value. I've not used it in 20 years. Should I be forced to sell or rent it out? Or my MRE (Meals Ready To Eat) collection is over 10 years old now. Should I be forced to sell them to the hungry? How is that different than real estate?

All resources are scarce including life saving medical tech. Do you force redistribution on all resources and assets?
My guess, is that they know they can't "own" the Fediverse, and their play is more about how to hedge its success and ensure they own a significant revenue stream from it. So my expectation is that they are making an advertising platform play. All the nodes cost a lot to run, and as the Fediverse grows will only get more resource intensive, and more expensive. If Facebook/Meta can build an advertising product that can fund nodes I'm sure there is a significant number that will take that up.

Obviously there will be nodes that push back, I can see nodes de-federating Meta ad supported nodes.

Maybe they will surprise us though and actually try and launch a Twitter like product as part of the Fediverse.

One of the biggest issues they are going to find though is that so many of the influential Fediverse people are so anti Meta, and anti many of the things that they would want to build. Search and caching/reposting of content seems to be a toxic topic on the Fediverse, but something I'm sure Meta would want.

It's going to be exciting watch, will have to get some popcorn.
The implication of "pointless" was added specifically by the person I was replying to. They said that working remotely required more written documentation. If that documentation would not be required by the same team working in person, then I think it's fair to call it "pointless"—it's a tax paid for remote collaboration. I think different people can disagree over whether or not we should pay that tax, but saying that there's no tax at all is just ignoring the reality of remote work.
Wonder if they'll run afoul of child labor laws next.

It’s a trap. You reply with the policies that prohibit what he’s asking. If you don’t have any, that’s a finding. If you do and violate the policy, that’s a finding.

When the premise is that the auditors are idiots, you have a problem. ;)
Anyone else share my thought that Twilio (and any other companies like them that I'm not aware of) is likely the primary driver of the massive epidemic of spam text messages and phone calls? Phone and text have been rendered almost completely useless to me. I often get close to double digit spam texts and calls per day. Obviously the drivers of this stuff are many and complicated, but it seems like the automation layer is the main thing that enabled it all.
Doesn't this defeat the point of the 'fediverse'?
Duh... just make API users pay for the access rather than apps.

That's it, solves all problems, but they aren't interested in that for whatever reason.
Don't put words in my mouth. OP mentioned significant equity and the possibility to be acquired, without any details. This could both provide them with something to show after enduring all the suck, as well as with a real chance of changing management. If the question was to join the company, or no equity was at play (including if there's either no realistic chance of that equity being worth something, or if the equity does not lose its value for OP after quitting anyway), then yes, likely best to leave immediately.

Simplistic phrases are not going to help in complex situations with lots of details.

No, because it sounds like a business bordering on dysfunction. You should know the difference.
He wants to be like Bezo's, Zuckerberg, Allen, Balmer & Gates, Jobs, Wayne & Wozniack, Brin & Page.

The above are all middle men to global activities, but like you say he's in a psychological downturn, whether he bounces back remains to be seen. All of the above have undergone downturns in one form or another before changing and adapting. Plus the Press are doom and gloom merchants for short term gain.

Minority shareholding is actually pretty shitty, as I am sure a few people on this thread would agree.
The parent comment probably referred to the headphone eq settings that can be exported from AutoEq into Equaliser APO. AutoEq deals with headphones, not amplifiers.
Explicitly approved by Netanyahu himself, in his courtship of MBS of Saudi Arabia. Whether it is wise for Israel to cultivate treacherous backstabbers like the Saudis is another question, the US' experience with 9/11 should lead to caution.
Greg Brockman from OpenAI said a round table chat a few weeks ago that ChatGPT is heavily quantized since the end of Q1/early Q2 2023: https://www.reddit.com/r/mlscaling/comments/146rgq2/chatgpt_... ; I am looking for the source document / source quote from which I read it, but the big switch from 'not so stupid' to 'pretty damn stupid' occurred with the 1 March 2023 model switch.

That's around the time that I noticed `gpt-3.5-turbo` becoming lower quality, whether in the UI (ChatGPT) or programmatically (via `gpt-3.5-turbo`) API calls.

The 10-20x lighter-weight version of the models that they're (OpenAI) running now - the heavily quantized version - allows them and Microsoft to save on far-and-away their largest expense: cloud expenditure. I suspect/expect that the AMD GPU announcement with OpenAI will come to fruition in the next few years as all of these LLM companies depend upon large piles of GPU compute to be able to train their models and no one wants to be beholden to NVIDIA or any one other GPU manufacturer.
Coming up with good examples of inheritance is hard. Instead of teaching with bad examples, that should have been a warning that inheritance should be much less commonly used.

It’s a good question because it goes to the incentives of a company to truly fight the problem vs saying the right things but looking the other way when convenient.

For us, we typically work with customers who are victims of fraud and the first time, we give them advice on how to better protect themselves and then refund them ~ the amount of profit we would have made. Ie we recoup costs but that’s it. For the financially aware, this is bad for our gross margin and profit but we do it to help customers the first time. After that though we expect them do implement some defenses otherwise our incentives aren’t aligned. Now however, we have Fraud Guard rolling out which should prevent much of the fraud in the first place.

There are other forms of bad actors but that’s the most prevalent these days.
I would not say it is more going away now than in the last 2 years of not getting upstream support from netflix. If anything this step at least makes clear this is a dead end at netflix and we can think about how to go forward with what is/was great about falcor!
I wouldn't fuck with the FAA, their interpretation of what they say is what's really the law, not what's written in the FAR.

About 30 years ago a pilot in a floatplane was on step as he went under a bridge (he was still in the water, but the floats ride closer to the surface than when it's at near-idle speeds). When the FAA somehow got wind of this, they really put the screws on him because in their interpretation he was flying under the bridge (very illegal), even though he wasn't airborne. Nowhere to my knowledge did the FARs make this distinction between floating and flying. You'd think in a case like this they'd let it go, maybe update the rules to clarify, but they really went after him for it.
Being team player (guidance seeking and delegation), and the synergy it creates is awesome.

As with all, knowing when and what to collaborate is paramountly important.

More generally, erring on the side of collaboration is better, than being self reliant and sub optimal.
Who is Jeff Lawson and what thread did he jump into?
"Before" and "after" are generic terms. A car might stop before the crosswalk (space). You might eat dinner after work (time). But "ex ante" and "ex post" specify a relationship to an (random) event or to specific information. For example, a data scientist might compute a quantity "ex ante". This means that the quantity was estimated using only forecast data. No historical data was used. It would not make sense, however, to say that a car stops ex ante the crosswalk.

I could have easily said "afterwards" and "beforehand", but I like "ex post" and "ex ante" when referring to before/after having access to specific information.
You can also get help from other people in the team/org if the blocker is technical. If it is organizational then talking to your direct boss first of course a good idea.

That is a lot more even minded opinion on it that I've seen in the last few weeks. Typically Psychology is called a pseudoscience, garbage, a-kin to astrology, filled with out right liars, conmen. There is very little patience to let the scientific process work itself out. Somehow other fields are allowed to grow, but Psychology is judged very harshly. Some studies aren't able to be replicated, so the whole field is bad.

At least, that is what I've seen in last few weeks. Maybe it hasn't always been like this.
Oh interesting. Japanese is like this. Many years ago it absorbed Chinese nouns, but more recently it has absorbed many English nouns.

you don't, but there is an element of code-switching that goes on in English. given that French, Greek and Latin-origin words in English tend to have come down from the clergy or the aristocracy, there is a subconscious subtext of power and education - and on the flipside pretense and elitism - that can be given off with particular use or lack of use of those words. some people do this naturally and some people affect it - Boris Johnson is well-known for it - but, while not quite the same as switching between Spanish and English - it is a thing that occurs

The "animation" part is my biggest problem with these services.

with a physical whiteboard, you get to do your own getto animation. Do you want to express the flow of data/requests in a service? easy, just draw them as you're expressing them. Do you want to express a node replacing a node, draw the arrows, use an eraser and you're done. You've essentially created the "animation" part in real life without any need to learn or know "animation" software which is too complicated.

in 2020 when we were all forced to work from home, I bought a really expensive Wacom tablet thinking that I can use that to replace a white board. The logistics of it all was just too complicated. telling everyone on the meeting "wait, shut up. let me grab my tablet. Let me connect my tablet. Let me share my screen. Can you see my screen? let me start drawing. Can you see my drawing? oh I'm drawing too fast and you can't see the arrow's direction? oh sorry I'm not used to drawing on a tablet. I'm pointing to "this". Can you see "this"? what do you see? no that's not what I was pointing at. I'm point at "this" not at "that". Let me disconnect and connect again."

might as well just cancel the project and look for another job.
Not sure I understand the typing issue. The standard pattern is to provide an x.Context(ctx, ...) and an x.FromContext(ctx), and those are the only two functions that know about the context key, and they do the type-casting. Since they are the only functions knowing the context key (the key is often a pointer to an unexported variable), you are guaranteed type-safety as long as there is no unsafe code that can pretend-inject the key.

My ISP in the UK gave me a /32 and a /29 for IPv4 and a /48 for IPv6. That was 10 years ago. I keep this when I move from DSL to their fibre product. They also offer a L2TP service which could be used to put a Public IPv4 over a CGNAT connection.
Glad you liked it. 13 years ago reddit had an absolutely atrocious mobile experience, and was unusable on my (then new) Motorola Droid (milestone). So it was mostly a labor of "what do I need to browse reddit".

KeyserSosa, reddit's GM at the time and now their CTO, was rather supportive of my development efforts; let me make the crappy little thing I was building an official part of reddit after a conversation on IRC
Please check our history - we had a referendum before December (in April), when majority voted exactly as Eltsin asked (yes, yes, no, yes - I still remember that song on radio :)
And do you think US asked Russians not to come for referendum? And at the same time do you think that US asked Russians to vote for LDPR which was an opposition party? How LDPR's victory could be a theater?

The same people who voted for opposition party also voted for the new Constitution. And that party was not a communist party. Some people say that Zhirinovsky was a FSB's project. In this case your ideas that US had anything to do with 12.1993 elections looks even more weird! Or stupid.

Yeltsin's support was very different in 1991 and in 1999. The problem was that Russia in 90s was still controlled by former communists/komsomol members, who were cynical, corrupt, brutal and terribly educated.

They didn't care about US and always tried to push pro-Russian ideas, check what Eltsin told to Clinton about Ukraine.. US had very limited involvement in internal politics, they just "hoped" that Russian will eventually become a normal country.

But when another stupid former communist Berezovsky decided to put his Puppet Putin into Kremlin - he failed miserably. KSB agent cannot do anything positive - his training is always about ruining and destroying, bringing lies and hate, stealing and bribing.

That was never the point of modeling languages.

Your baseless assumption is even more absurd when you factor in the fact that modeling languages even express runtime behavior, componente, and packaging.

The main problem with these mindless attacks on modeling languages in general and UML in particular is that the bulk of their retractors clearly knows nothing nor has any direct contact with them, or how they are used in the real world. Their arguments are nothing more than poorly thought through strawmen. Your comment fits well.

> Why use C4 over UML?

See, this is a telltale sign you know nothing about what you're commenting on. Not only is C4 a modelling language like UML but it also covers the exact same responsibilities and features of UML. C4's main selling point is advocating for the representation multiple points of view, and UML is a standard specification to express all the points of view you see fit in a coherent and rational way. There is no C4 vs UML. They have both the exact same design goals and usecases.
I like it more is a valid point if expressed collectively by workers.

And yes, for me WFH is much better, so much better that I'll never again work in an office if I can avoid it.

I think that I am about just as productive, but happier because of the increased freedom.

I think that people will vote with their feet on this subject, the toothpaste is out, this is not for everyone, but I don't think that a dozen of CEOs and VCs can decide for us all.
Besides the fact that Uber Eats barely made a dent in the marketshare and came in way later, it also attempted the same strategy to bring in consumers.

I distinctly recall using coupons or special "Only on Uber Eats" deals during most of 2019, and I only stopped using it during the pandemic because the available options at home were terrible compared to iFood's.
Not really. The point is that all these VAG brands share technology and key parts.

A Dacia is an old Renault, built cheaply. A VW Golf, a Skoda Octavia, a SEAT Leon and an Audi A3 are mostly the same car.
Oof that hits home. This is something I always struggle with. My personality seems to fight me every time I need to go up the chain and deliver bad news.

The person in charge of handling the workers is likely a low placed member who got the job from some kind of nepotism. This could be saving a meaningful amount of money for them, and there's a chance they think this kind of thing will impress the other members.

Among the people who don't know people in this story, you don't know me. You act as if a person who wrote an opinion you disagree with must (1) be operating out of deep personal emotions - hatreds and vendettas, and (2) be the very personification of everything you hate, indeed, responsible for every injustice by my very attitude!

Ascribing such levels of malice out of the gate is a radicalized, religious-like, conspiratorial response to things one disagrees with. It serves no purpose except to attempt to shut down debate. In fact it has, as I have no interest in debating someone who feigns to know my intentions and believes I'm personally responsible for their problems and the state of the world.

Or patents and public disclosure.

Ie, if you're in the process of developing patentable technology or writing a patent, anyone to whom you disclose details needs to be under NDA, otherwise your patent may be refused due to prior public disclosure.

Or so is my understanding anyways, I am not a lawyer.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and what I gathered from listening to the grey beards talk was that RISC based designs were more elegant, easier to understand, and more efficient. When I first started hearing about then modern CISC cpus decoding to RISC, it was pushed as a justification that RISC was fundamentally superior.

This was around the time IBM was pushing Power and everyone thought it was poised to dominate the industry.
What drivers are buggy in particluar?

Not sure what you mean about 4G modem/GPS - neither does really have a driver on Pinephone. It's just a normal USB modem device you can also buy and use separately in a PC.

GPS just sends some NMEA data over virtual serial port, there's nothing about it that can have a buggy driver. It works just like any other GPS device that can't get assistance data. It's slow to lock on and doesn't work inside.
Not OP, but same experience. Before COVID we had a few teams with some remote members (usually in a different timezone), and we consistently got feedback that:
- they felt excluded from the discussion
- it was hard for them to hear everyone (e.g. people sitting in the back of the room)
- it was hard for them to speak (e.g. the delay made it)

All above issues could be alleviated with some meeting etiquette, but that was challenging on its own. In our case the vast majority of teams didn't have remote members, so there wasn't much willingness to introduce company wide rules.

The simple solution was to introduce a single rule. If one person is remote, everyone must be remote (join from their own laptop).

This is orthogonal to whether the policy was judicious - it only means ABnB decided the cost wasn't worth the benefit.
I don’t understand your position here. You start out saying some people are blocked from success and imply your lack of success with women is an example. Then you say you don’t know if your lack of success is something you can control because no one has told you exactly what the issue is.

Is your definition of being blocked anything that doesn’t just happen by itself?
