> it's requiring that you meet some minimum level of proficiency to be considered credible

That's not really the case though is it? Doubting someone's credibility would simply mean ignoring their results. But withholding information is something else entirely.
I've found it's best to use a combination of written and spoken word, when trying to communicate more, but less frequently. i.e.

- Write a set of concise, clear, well-structured discussion notes ahead of a meeting

- Give all attendees time to pre-read the notes and flag the specific points requiring deeper discussion

- Once face-to-face, discuss ONLY those flagged topics. Don't waste the opportunity for high-bandwidth communication on the notes/topics that aren't contentious.

data is not interpretation
I’m convinced the strength of the “rabbit hole detector” is what truly differentiates software engineers. While I do think experience has something to do with it, I have also observed very senior people with terrible RHDs.
Which country for example?
That can be measured by frequency of code commits. You can tell which juniors are making the most of a rabbit hole and becoming better versus which ones are mindlessly surfing because they don't want to think. The first group will have things to share or talk about if they go some time without committing code and their mentor or manager starts getting worried.

If someone hasn't pushed something in a week or two, that's a good time for their mentor to initiate a conversation and see where they're at and when they think they will push something.

Anything else is micromanagement by a company that has hired someone without giving them any amount of runway to actually work and learn the space they're in. You can also tell on company hardware and on company accounts if the junior's browsing history represents getting better or just resting on their haunches because they want someone else to do the thinking. Let's not pretend the micromanagement cultures where "fear of rabbit holes" exists are not already doing this.
This is how I've been working for years, since before COVID. (Except for videos; I don't do videos.) As another commenter noted, this might not work as well for junior engineers. If I were mentoring/guiding/working with a junior engineer I would plan on being available for one-on-one interactions.
A big part of it is how much actually needs to change, and work properly, before you can actually rely on IPv6 the way you can on IPv4.

I recall reading about Facebook's internal IPv6 migration for their data centers and the problems they ran into. The two that stuck out the most to me and which I still remember details for are:

1. The PHP function developers used to convert an IPv4 address into an integer to store into a database or something. It didn't work in IPv6, meaning the code broke badly when it was considering an IPv6 host. They kept asking developers to stop using it, but new code kept getting added which used it. Eventually the decision was made that 'we've warned you enough, so from now on we're just going to go ahead and let your code break'.

2. Their networking hardware wasn't extensively tested for an IPv6 single-stack deployment. Turns out that when presented with a BGP advertisement that contained only IPv6 routes and no IPv4 routes, their switches would immediately crash. How did they discover this? By sending out a BGP advertisement that contained only IPv6 routes and no IPv4 routes, crashing every rack switch in the data center. There's no reason why this should happen; it's not a violation of the BGP spec or anything, it's just a bug for a case that no one tested on the vendor's end because none of their customers tried to do that.

So it's not that IPv6 sucks; it's actually pretty great in a lot of ways. The problem is that everything else sucks; people don't bother to support things, they don't consider it in their code, they don't test for it, they don't bother to roll out support because no one else has done so either so why bother, and so on.

In the end, IPv6 is 'avoided' because of the problems that Facebook ran into, or that OP ran into, and is 'resisted' because it's extra work that they could put into doing other things with their limited time and engineering work.

To be clear, dual-stack deployments work great; my ISP recently did a trial of a dual-stack deployment which I was lucky enough to participate in, and it was almost completely transparent. My Unifi gateway picked up the address and handed addresses out to clients internally, clients used IPv6 where appropriate and fell back to IPv4 when necessary, and everything worked completely transparently.

TL;DR IPv6 isn't the problem, the industry is the problem.
> But the tiny insects have been causing outsized devastation to the forests in recent years, with officials grappling to get the pests under control before the spruce population is entirely decimated. Two-thirds of the spruce in the region have already been destroyed, said Alexander Ahrenhold from the Lower Saxony state forestry office, and as human-caused climate change makes the region drier and the trees more favorable homes for the beetles’ larvae, forest conservationists are preparing for the worst.

It seems this is not exactly new:

> Around 1800, large swathes of the Harz were deforested. The less resistant spruce monoculture, that arose as a consequence of the mining industry in the Upper Harz, was largely destroyed by a bark beetle outbreak and a storm of hurricane proportions in November 1800. This largest known bark beetle infestation in the Harz was known as the Große Wurmtrocknis, and destroyed about 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of spruce forest and lasted about for 20 years. The woods were largely reforested with spruce. Continuous problems with bark beetle and storms were the negative side effects of mining in the Harz Mountains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harz

> In the longer term, mixing other tree species into the forest could be a solution, Ahrenhold said. “It makes sense to plant other conifers that can cope better with these conditions, especially on south-facing slopes and on very dry soil,” he said.

The AP article fails to mention the massive amount of deforestation and animal depopulation that's occurred for centuries now, but which is well-documented in the Wikipedia article. This gives the misleading impression that what's happening now is somehow unprecedented.

The issue, it seems, is that trying to "manage" the land doesn't work. It may even be more the root of the problem than the solution.
It got political fast, and I believe there was some disagreement about whether or not it counts as murder when done to the homeless. It seems the compromise was to call it manslaughter.
Basically nothing else in life works that way. If you punch or yell out your anger, you get angrier over time. The biggest predictor of donating to charity is past donations. The more marriages someone has, divorce rate dramatically rises (almost twice as high for a second marriage).

I strongly suspect the ladies man, statistically, is more likely to cheat during marriage.

Anecdotally, I've been with the same woman since I was 15 and neither of us would dream of cheating.
German speakers would for sure riot if they couldn't use umlauts in file names. This discussion is so incredibly US-centric.
We do. This is also not our own insight/invention, to be clear. We're implementing the spiritual core (but not the SIP clothing) of the ICE protocol (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8445), which was developed by Google and the XMPP foundation as part of Jingle, the XMPP extension for p2p voice and video. That same stuff lives on in browsers today as part of WebRTC.

ICE in particular provides a model for probing potentially feasible datapaths, selecting the best if multiple paths are available, and suggests how to handle datapath failure.

It's not a weekend's worth of hacking to get it working robustly, but it's also very doable.
> Nowhere in the article says that women prefer "promiscuous" men, but men regarded as "attractive" by other women.

What do women do with the men they are attracted to, generally speaking? Is there anything women could use as a informal gauge as to how attractive other women find any particular man?

> It also does not justify the fact that women are regarded more negatively when they have had multiple sexual partners, compared to men.

Oh OK, so when 5 foot tall women should stop being creepy and preferring men taller than them right? Their preferences are unbalanced and unjustified correct?

It may have been great for you, but I regularly had drivers refuse to take me or abandon the ride once they saw the destination. The worst part is that they report you as not showing up, and then uber/lyft both will add no show fees for the ride that you then have to fight over.

When Uber was a black car service it was great, although expensive. Now it's just expensive.
> and now in the era of surge pricing I really don't understand it.

Hasn't surge pricing been a part of Uber from day 1? I remember that being one of their original pitches, dynamic pricing being touted as a feature that will help get more drivers on the road when there are shortages.
This applies quite well to the article itself too. I don’t disagree with the base concept, but reading “I need books like I need air” and being reminded that the author is a Socialist Who Hates America five times in a few pages is so eye-rolling
I feel socially uncomfortable asking a bunch of questions which have lots of dependencies, somehow it feels presumptuous and overwhelming. I’m not saying it actually is presumptuous, there’s every possibility that there’s a defect in my social skills.

Somehow I’ve become more comfortable just proposing a complete plan, but also explicitly calling out the fact that it is actually totally up for discussion. So instead I’ll say something like:

Want to see Oppenheimer at 5:30 on Sunday (n.b. I pulled that time completely out of my ass just to get the ball rolling, any time this weekend is fine on my end, and Barbie also looks good).

Somehow it just feels more natural to me, I don’t know why. I like that it presents the person with a default-path, but also leaves everything up for discussion if necessary.
Might be cool to do this on domains found on certifacte transparency logs, rather than doing it on domains found on e-mail. Lets encrypt seems to issue about 3M certificates a day, so about 100 million a month. Which seems to be one order of magnitude better.
Amazing that cab riders still try this old trick, because sorry but I'm pretty sure most people nowadays just don't even carry cash anymore. I'm not playing that game.

> Maybe the decline in American museums has been going on quite a while.

It may also be due to large improvements at museums being a very sporadic occurrence. I remember growing up, my local museum (the Buffalo Museum of Science) feeling very dated, and when we visited Toronto, the Ontario Science Centre felt very new and fresh. But now the Buffalo museum has had some recent upgrades and feels new, whereas the last time I was at the Ontario Science Centre, it felt like I was seeing the same exhibits I saw as a kid 30 years earlier. Perhaps when my kids are grown, it will have reversed again.
You're right, we should fix the laws.

The companies actions under the ownership of KKR should not be considered 'playing fair', and some corporate buyout laws should be changed to disallow this behavior, maybe by enforcing the anti monopoly protections that the US has on the books. Alternatively, we could make DRM illegal to make the market more competitive.
> To those complaining about getting constant calls. This is fixable if you want to fix it.

Check out the Oslo Public Library for what a library can be. The US needs to be a country that values these things.
I just worry that this is a bit similar to saying “women should no longer have a preference for taller men. We’ve evolved past the point where a man’s physical prowess matters, and women should learn to be attracted to a shorter man just as much as a taller man.” It certainly might be _nice_ for the man if his height didn’t matter, but I don’t think you’re going to really budge women’s preferences here in a meaningful way, no matter what social programs you adopt.
Then why mention asbestos?

Even limiting it to dental amalgam, p-e-w says there is a lesson for future regulatory action. What is that lesson?

I don't recall the government ever said amalgam fillings should be removed, and the FDA now certainly says to leave them in: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/dental-devices/dental-am...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_amalgam_controversy makes it seem like much of the controversy came from people "using pseudoscience to scare patients into more lucrative treatment options", not the government. The major new regulations in the US seems to be installing filters at the dentists' to keep mercury waste out of the public sewer system.

I therefore don't see the lesson from regulating CFCs, nor from asbestos, nor from dental amalgam.

That's the best scam. Just say "Oh, ok. Thanks for the ride then!" and get out. It's either a free ride, or the reader magically starts working. They legally have to tell you the reader is broken before the ride. Once I did have a driver try to run my card and it failed multiple times, so I called dispatch and gave them my payment info.

Same thing goes if they don't turn the meter on. Also a free ride. If they don't turn the meter on, ask them to right away. Or, wait until the destination and agree on a reasonable price or simply walk away.

If any cab driver tries to negotiate a flat rate ahead of time, it's usually a rip off. Though, I will do this after a busy event if we can agree on a price that's cheaper than ride share surge pricing and not outrageous. It's gotten so bad that if one does just turn the meter on at a busy event I give them a huge tip and say thank you for not pulling that crap.

Isn't almost all the complexity of Unicode inherent in the problem of trying to encode documents written in every written language, though? (Esp. when including documents written in multiple languages at once — and often switching languages within a single sentence, such as when a statement in one language quotes text in another language.)

Or do you have thoughts on what a "simplified Unicode" — that accomplishes all the same goals — would look like?
> If you really want to be a bodybuilder the best investment is a notebook

This can’t be emphasized enough. Exercise, which you do because it feels good, doesn’t really require all that much attention to detail. Training, which you do to systematically improve your performance in some way, very much does.

You want to record your intended program and actual movements performed at the very minimum, with notes on perceived effort and areas for improvement like form issues. It’s also important to track recovery, including sleep, since thats when adaptation actually happens. On the dietary side you need to rigorously track your macronutrients, especially dietary protein. Assuming you don’t have kidney disease, you want at least one gram of dietary protein per pound of body weight every day and more won’t hurt. That is a considerable amount of food to eat day in and day out. Eating becomes something of a chore.

I believe it’s Dwayne Johnson who is famous for eating several pounds of cod a day. A while back some normalish guy publicly did a Rock diet challenge. Johnson poo-pooed it a bit, but the guy stuck with it and got far better results than anyone expected[1]. My takeaway is that many if not most people with a solid training regimen aren’t getting enough protein to fully realize their potential strength and mass gains.

They’ve said they will provide samples after peer review. Which seems fair doesn’t it? How can they complete their paper and peer review without the samples? And if the samples get damaged they will be regret ever handing them over. If you were in the same situation you’d make the same decision.

I and everybody else would love them to hand over the samples for external testing, but it’s their samples so they can do whatever they want with it, and the rest of the world just has to pound lanarkite while we wait.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, where did withholding information come into this?
That nobody is obviously within the people making the decisions. The people complaining were a whole different set of nobodies.
Sorry, but raw veganism or fruitarianism isn't veganism, those are fad diets, almost approaching stupidity.

You should make your research before drastically changing your diet. There's plenty of information how to do that safely now.
All of this is based on the unsupported assumption that purity of vocabulary is some sort of virtue to strive for and that other speakers are responsible for protecting the listener from their subjective, personal hangups by adopting some subset of listeners preferred standard for language.

It's on that point that we, and I'd imagine the GP as well, strongly disagree.

You're being sarcastic, but I think you have a pretty warped perception here. Take a look at OpenSecrets' data on Google Inc in 2012 or 2014[0] for example.

As someone who recently wanted to try out IPv6 to learn more about it, I can say that I welcome anything that might help improve the sorry state of IPv6 adoption. This is a hostile and destructive move, I mean obviously, it's Amazon after all, but one can at least hope that as IPv4 increasingly becomes a cost, it could drive interest to the alternative that has been left out in the cold for like two decades.

Most end-users don't care what they're using as long as they can access the Internet, and since our other option to IPv6 adoption is living in a CGNAT hellscape that destroys the whole peer-to-peer idea of the Internet, then for the love of all that is holy start moving. Personally I think nation states need to take a bigger responsibility here and create incentives to move the market, because it's one of those things where the negative effects aren't obvious until they're overwhelming.
I had the same timeline as you, but it was fine for me. Granted, I've never known anyone anywhere I've lived and barely leave home anyway. :p I'm grateful I seem optimized for the fully atomized cyberpunk existence which may only become more intense and universal in the future.
If it was a formal debate sure, I'm more riffing on the original comment. I should have said something like "relatedly."

I would agree having dozens of short relationships and not being able to commit to something, even just a core set of friends, probably isn't great. So person I replied to is perhaps right there.

But idealizing a young marriage I think is stupid and should be criticized and is directly related to 1950's housewives not being able to leave their relationships.
> Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi was floored by a journalist’s $51.69 trip, including the driver’s tip, to travel a short distance through downtown Manhattan to Uber’s corporate offices to interview him back in May.

The journalist told them about it, and they were stunned or expressed being stunned. The CEO is distant from their own product and problems, and completely unaffected by them.
You’re making quite a leap here assuming they’re trans, but it’s an inarguable stance to take anyway. If I say “they should reveal to increase the profile of trans folks everywhere”, you’ll say “why is it incumbent upon them to prove their value?” If I say “they should reveal to shut down harassers,” you’ll say that I must be a transphobe.
