Your skepticism is unsolvable, as it is for the majority of managers who have this data, individually.

Imagine, for a moment, that I have collected metrics on the members of the teams that I manage that measure productivity against work from home, things like sprint burn down versus work from home, and things of that nature. Suppose that I have this information for 50 people. I can’t share it externally due to corporate policy, and I can’t extend its scope to other teams that don’t use Jira in the way we do.

I can use it to try to discuss WFH with my teams directly, but even starting this conversation is liable to upset WFH stalwarts, but if I do I cannot present this information in a way that is both deidentifiable and satisfyingly comprehensive. If I aggregate it I get something like “we’re 10% better at task completion while in the office”, I have people who claim to be an exception to the rule (and the loudest complainers are disproportionately actually the worst when it comes to WFH productivity), and if I present it unaggregated then I have people complaining about being called out publicly as under-performers (rightfully so) and people complaining since their productivity didn’t slip 10% they should be able to work from home.

I cannot manage 50 different WFH policies due to incoming complaints about fairness, mandating RTO upsets the team, allowing unrestricted WFH nets a productivity loss, and anyone who says “fire the people who are underperforming from home” knows nothing about management.

So my personal response here is to just allow the productivity loss: 10% productivity means less to me than the major impact on the happiness of the teams, but it must be recognised that this pick is the “best of bad options”, if you’re trying to maximise business output.

Clearly, at some level of management, the happiness is less important that the profit, but that’s beyond my pay grade.

Point is you cannot hide behind your title, sooner or later you have to sit in a room with other people and you have to speak, and if you say idiotic things people are gonna notice and call you out and you'll get exposed.

That's exactly what happened in the last 3 years with Musk.

There's a reason why the saying 'The emperor has no clothes' is so popular, it's because something like this happened thosands of times throughout history. Guy gets incredible and once in a lifetime tailwind, gets a title and sits on it.

People from all over the place come to meet the man with the unique title anticipating a world-shattering intellect/charisma or what have you and in the end they realize it was just a guy who had incredible tailwinds after all
Video encoding and decoding is expensive! Especially as cameras improve and users' expectations of quality increase.
Next they'll sue for monopoly on eyeballs and they'll have a strong case, as evidenced by how these two companies were able to starve an entire country's news medias by merely ignoring them.

I think what the Canadian govt is legislating is silly but it's not like there's no problem: foreign governments in the US-sphere are losing a ton of tax revenue to US entities that are capturing all the value. This essentially strips the residents of wealth, further putting them at a comparative disadvantage in all other fields. Eyeballs are at the center of the largest commercial entities on the planet. There's a lot of value here being sent to the US with no obvious return mechanism.

Not recognizing this will prevent any mutually agreeable solution from being found. Canada isn't keeping up with the US and things aren't looking up either.
Nothing essential though. Just some stuff for people who previously played DOS2

You really ought to read “No Filter” by Sarah Frier. She talks about exactly this, except with Apple and iTunes in 2001.
Apple’s biggest change wasn’t “digitizing music”, it was enabling a system that allows arbitrary changes to terms and conditions for services they offered. Apparently if you presented a digital copy of a TOS and users clicked one button, it was legally binding.
Other companies caught on and started doing it, and well that’s how Zoom is able to do this - people don’t bother to read what they’re agreeing to so legally it’s the user’s fault if the software does something they don’t like.

1984 was not about surveillance. Surveillance was not what enabled the state depicted in 1984 to exist. The entire final section of the book explains, in detail why the state in 1984 exists and it's not because of the telescreens.

The telescreens and their usage was a tool in the arsenal of the state, but it wasn't why it functioned, nor how it came into existence.

On the contrary: when I moved from Kaiser to Sutter, it was a single push-button to move my entire EHR over (once I consented to the doctor). The doctor told me it's generally that easy when you have two Epic instances (note: I'm not directly denying what you say, because I know enough about Epic and EHRs to be suprised at my doctor's ease).
You can’t have this both ways - if personal freedom is violated by seatbelt laws then buying a car or not is also your personal freedom regardless if it comes with things you want or not.

You don’t get to treat force as a transitive property when it suits you and isolated when it doesn’t - its one or the other.

To what end though, do you need to take such pictures? What aspect of your life is enhanced by documenting and publishing the photos of these military bases?

If you accept that it’s best that a country has a strong defense, and that part of that is your enemy not knowing literally everything you’ve got, then you accept that some things should be kept secret. And secret means nothing if they make no effort to stop people from snooping and then publishing everything online.
Linux 6.5-Rc5 Released: Things Looking Under Control
Musk is smart and a narcissist. He’s done more than a few things I disagree with and he’s done things that I think qualify for him to be called an asshole.

Musk is and will forever be woefully underprepared to fight against someone with Mark’s training and level of fitness. His challenge to fight was childish and idiotic. Even smart people do idiotic things from time to time.
Heh this strikes me as funny. I remember studying hierarchical image classifiers... If you think physics changes fast you should check out CS sometime.
Bandwidth is the limiting factor in a lot of circumstances, and networks are very challenging to manage. Especially with an increasing number of users on mobile connections, reducing network usage can be the right call.

But performance matters, too, of course. It's tricky to balance them.

I'm assuming OP was considering Julia as a pseudo-lisp. Julia doesn't look at all like a Lisp from the outside (no S-exprs except with (https://github.com/swadey/LispREPL.jl) but it takes many of Lisp's deeper lessons. It's (somewhat) homoiconic (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31733766/in-what-sense-a...), has an AST based macro system, and is an expression based language (no statements, everything returns a value), and has first class functions and types. Also multiple dispatch comes from taking CLOS/Dylan and getting rid of some of the parts that make a compiler writer hate you.

Burritos are not really Mexican food in general — they’re the regional cuisine of a region that includes the American southwest and the extreme north of Mexico. You’re basically saying you like regional LA cuisine better than regional SF cuisine, not that one region is particularly more faithfully reproducing “Mexican food” than the other.
Oakland is still plenty expensive – banh mi are in the $7–10 range which is about double where they were fifteen years ago. Tacos are $3–4. Depending, of course, on how far east you want to venture.

Most Canadians are obsessed with American news anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of people barely notice.

If I was an American/Euro/South American news org I'd be staffing up my Canadian journos. Any org out of reach of the backroom dealing Ottawa private school clique can probably hire some local freelancers and fill the void by the end of the year.

You'd be wrong, of course. The dynamic range of the film was out of their control. And, not shockingly, a lot of lessons film companies learned were lost in the transition to digital. Or rather, they are taking time to spread there.

Is annoying, as it is not a conspiracy. It is hard, though, and we see the speed of knowledge spread more now. Or, rather, the relative lack of speed.
Structure is a continuum ranging from repression to anarchy.

For example the Democrats provided structure in the form of slavery in the south pre civil war but that was found to be wrong of the government and on the repressive side of the continuum.

Some would argue the government is heading towards repression in modern times as well. The Democrats seem to be very pro-government still though and support government engineering of society.

I don't think anyone's arguing for anarchy though.
> Reagan, Bush and Trump were even more successful as they were at the helm of a 400M people country with a 20T GDP

Are you joking here? None of them are even remotely as successful as Musk. A president is not the founder of a country. It's incomparable.

> Tesla is what? A 80,000 people company with 90bn in revenue? Peanuts compared to the United States of America.

You forget SpaceX, Neuralink, Boring company, Twitter, Paypal, OpenAI.

How is he exposed? Some internet haters are talking smack? Musk is swimming in money while his companies are racking up successes. If anything this makes the haters look even more irrational.

What do you think it takes to create numerous highly successful companies? You don't need to talk to people to do that?

> Can you see yet where this is leading us, and why I'm 120% sure that climate change WILL come with an increase in volcanic eruptions?

Melting of ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica causing land to rebound (called iso-something shock IIRC?) which is likely to cause all kinds of tectonic activity such as volcanism. Which is less weight on the crust there, and so a lower local gravity in those areas. Gravity isn't strong enough to do much to even the thinnest part of the crust (about 16km in part of Antarctica apparently) directly unless you just mean it as weight, which is a weird way of using the term.
Honestly I'd like too. Besides covid I've been sick a few times in the last year and I think a mask would have prevented that. I was really hoping they would be normalized now, for general public health, but it's somehow become a controversial thing in a few places I've lived before. I started noticing weird looks after everybody else stopped wearing one and started getting anxiety about it. Probably sounds dumb but I'd bet I'm not alone. I feel people wear masks less now compared to before covid, I used to at least see one every once in a while but outside of dentist offices and such I haven't seen one in a long, long time.
> but rather a monetized, competitive space that competes on user experience. More akin to music streaming than movie streaming

I'll be honest, I don't know what this means, and comparing a service like Spotify to a social network like Lemmy doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

> Centralization is easier for mass appeal

Which is by definition a single point of failure.

As for mass appeal, I'd argue the issue isn't centralization, it's network effects. I.e. I'll use the service people I'm interested in use. If you have a lot of fragmented communities, that becomes a problem, and thus Reddit dominates. And it's the problem federation is specifically intended to solve, by stitching those individual communities into a larger network.

Look at the maturity level of the HL7 resource. Those that are higher (5-6) are going to have more agreement on standards and have more turnkey setup.

For example, condition in the US is likely to use ICD-10. Procedures, especially those billed are going to use CPT or HCPCS.

It's true that "white" is not a skin color, but also let me point out that people with lighter skin tones than what is commonly called "white people" are hilariously considered "people of color".

Skin "color" is some diffuse concept that doesn't really have much to do with the actual color spectrum and, in many cases, not even physical features. The extremes are easy to tell, but there's a whole world in between with some pretty arbitrary definitions.
1 in a million outliers do exist, some folks are even literally wired differently.
> In my field of robotics there are SOOO many papers that are basically taking three or four established algorithms/machine learning models, and applying them to off-the-shelf hardware.

This is a direct result of the aggressive "publish or perish" system. I worked as an aide in an autonomous vehicles lab for a year and a half during my undergrad, and while the actual work we were doing was really cool cutting edge stuff, it was absolutely maddening the amount of time we wasted blatantly pulling bullshit nothing papers exactly like you describe out of our asses to satisfy the constant chewing out we got that "your lab has only published X papers this month".

> Especially towards the end, I feel that she tries to emphasize the nobility and radical nature of this work, taking umbrage at Eric Adam’s use of the word “low-skill” to describe some of these sorts of jobs.

Just because something is skilful doesn’t make it enjoyable or rewarding. Not to mention a person’s health and safety (both economic and physical) being considered.
I had a philosophy teacher that had worked for polaroid for a long while developing film chemistries. One of the things polaroid had to put large amounts of special effort into was tuning chemistries so the facial features from dark skinned people would show up decently. This was apparently related to, but ultimately a separate problem from, environmental low contrast.

So when electronics get confused I’m definitely not surprised.
