I want to preface this comment so that I don't detract from the idea. This is a really cool product, and obviously has value.

There's just one thing I worry about. It's losing expertise in your data model and gaining organizational false confidence in bad data. Let's consider Bob. Bob is a Product Manager.

Bob always used to bother his software engineers to write SQL queries, but now he just uses this tool. Bob didn't write the tables or the data structures, so Bob doesn't know the nuances of the data model. Bob just types English and gets result sets back. Bob doesn't know that field order_status can also be in "pending_legal", and neither does the "sql compiler" know when it's appropriate to add or elide that field. Bob then presents his data to leadership to make changes to the Pending Order Logic, based on bad data.

Worker-owned co-operatives are some of the most resilient businesses in the startup world, so why don’t investors back them?

Well, I guess because angel and venture capital investors rather care about about growth and rate of return. :-) Resilience is very important if one does not plan to sell the shares - but this kind of investment is very different from the one that most angel and venture capital investors are interested in.

The kind of business model where one is interested in long-term investments are more of the kind of life insurance companies and pension funds. But these groups are very conservative in their investments (i.e. they will avoid investing in unproven business models, and rather invest in very balanced, conservative stock portfolios and government bonds).
Everything you mentioned cuts into their profit so it's not worth doing without any regulations.

The company replaced sugar with the sweetener allulose.

This is so infuriating.

Either put less sugar in, or let people eat less of it. Replacing sugar with some random chemical just ruins your thing.

Heinz Beans did this in England. They have a "Reduced Sugar" version right next to the normal ones on the shelf. "No Artificial Sweetener" written in the same big font on the label. Cool. Those beans sure are crazy sweet, so it'd be nice to see what a less sweet version will be like. But then you taste it and get that terrible Nutrisweet chemical aftertaste that lingers for an hour, and have to throw out your entire dinner and scramble to make something else.

Sure enough, deep down in the ingredients you'll find their "totally natural sweetener that's not sugar, but that we made by combining a bunch of chemicals in a lab."

This is one place I'll be happy to see legislation put in place to fix. I don't want your synthetic poison in my kids food.
This about to blow my mind
The nutrition label is based on serving sizes which don't make sense in the real world making the whole label and wasted space nonsense.

Like: The box says score A but when you check the 100g list you realize that you are eating a complete meal calorie wise as snack using a realistic serving size. With little to zero nutrition value. Why A?
From everything we know so far allulose is a safe replacement for sugar (it's also FDA approved), so I don't really see how it's such a big problem that it's not specially labeled? It's indigestible by humans so it has no known side-affects on our body, doesn't contribute in calories, doesn't affect insulin and it tastes almost as sweat as sugar. Seems like a win-win move to have it as a replacement for sugar (actually a huge victory of the labeling system), not something to fight against?
Completely agree.

recruiters are basically agents, similar to realtors in real estate market - don't reveal your budget, you're not buying the 'PRICE', you're buying property (with it's features, relationships to area, market etc).

Likewise, your salary is the 'PRICE', but they're getting YOU - so you focus on selling YOU: your experience, your abilities, your 'value add' etc, right to the end. then place your SALARY (your price, plus other perks [training etc]).

Sadly, but true enough, the process is mostly about perception of value, and perception (emphasis on interpretation) is 'workable/pliable' thus hackable (not trivial):

- directly via training/brokers [books, OP etc]

- via networks such as referrals/clubs/accreditation/alumni/nepotism [happens]

- indirectly via social/personal/political/weather factors

Worth reading books on Negotiation, the field is as old as humanity.

p.s. for the avoidance of doubt, i'm neither saying 'workers are like buildings', nor mean 'hack' pejoratively :)

> I guess at least Van Moof actually sold you the bike and didn't make you rent it.

The potential loss for the customers would have been much lower if they had rented the bikes for, say, one month at a time. They might lose some days of paid usage in the worst case (as it now seems to be, they would not have lost anything in that one-month-rent case). But then they could switch to any competitor.

I guess sometimes renting is not tightening the vendor lock-in, compared to buying.

One tangentially related trial would be Pharrell Williams v. Bridgeport Music [0], where Marvin Gaye's family sued Pharrell Williams with the following claim:

> Gaye's family argued that the songs were not merely stylistically similar; instead, they claim that "many of the main vocal and instrumental themes of "Blurred Lines" are rooted in "Got to Give It Up"; namely, the signature phrase, vocal hook, backup vocal hook, their variations, and the keyboard and bass lines" and "the substantial similarities are the result of many of the same deliberate creative choices made by their respective composers."

And they won. I don't agree with the outcome, but I do think it's an interesting benchmark. Obviously, this trial would've never been a thing if "Blurred Lines" wasn't a big hit. Something simlar could apply to a major brand using text-to-image generated material that was strikingly similar to a prominent photographer or artist, if they sued.

I wonder what's going to be the first big case having to deal with this.

But still, why the difference? With or without the "lol", the data dependence is identical, the predictability is identical. Yet with the "lol" it optimises differently.

My best guess is that it's because of the added cost to the other branch: printing is expensive, so the compiler really doesn't want to do that, and would prefer to incorrectly predict not-printing than to incorrectly predict printing.

If that tradeoff is what causes the difference in behaviour here, then I understand. But I don't like it, because it's ridiculous and we shouldn't have to con the compiler into doing what's right. If we're going to have to do this, I'd rather have the language provide a way for us to make explicit what we expect here.
Minecraft took me back to when I played MUSH games. You are presented with a world to inhabit, and there were no rails. You got out what you put into them game, so if you contribute little to the experience, it felt dull and lifeless. This turned lots of folks I know off from them game, where I was enamored by the possibiities, seemingly only limited by my own imagination. MUSHs were a lot like that, where MUDs were a bit more linear.

I wondervat the idea that these types of games engage a different part of the brain, similar to how some productivity coaches might suggest that writing ones goals, as opposed to talking about them, helps your brain process them in s more robust way. Citations probably needed on that, I'm no psychologist, but as someone who grew up in the MU* community and still adores text-based games to this day, I find I have stronger memories tied to those games than I do with the graphical games I've played.

It is there to skip the print("lol") in the second version if the condition is true. Since the array is sorted in ascending order, it will be true for every value, and that print is never be executed.

> As a male, I can assure you that the types of comments that you think “pass without thought” isn't considered desirable by all of your fellow male colleagues either. Sure they won't necessarily complaint about it publicly, but they'll still see you in a negative way.

You seem to have missed his point. It isn't whether his comments are considered desirable. He doesn't care, and neither do I. It is whether comments are raised to HR, management, or for personal lawsuits. This is potentially career ending. Part of living in a society with free speech is that we sometimes say things which hurt others people's feelings. We accept this because the alternative is self-imposed segregation. Which is, again, what they are pointing out. In the office today I am very careful never to be alone in a room with a woman. I don't "banter" with women because I am worried that one of my comments, however harmless in intent, will be perceived poorly. This means my dynamic with male colleagues is different because I trust they will not attempt to end my career over a misunderstanding.

Then people should just use the correct term: Rug pull
That resonates deeply with me— even though, of course, I run lots of software I have not read.

Trying to understand what's going on in a computer or a network can be overwhelming. I understand the need to simplify, to take for granted, to abstract away— to ritualize, even.

But sometimes I do feel frustrated that engineers (whether in application development or infrastructure or networking, whatever) can be frustratingly uncurious about the tools they're using. 'How it works' should never mean 'how to operate it', but a lot of people use those terms interchangeably, even within tech.

For me, though, using F/OSS isn't about reading code. It's about feelings and values like trust, respect, control, and peace. When you manage to avoid proprietary software entirely, you can recover those things in your computing life in a way that is totally opposite to the adversarial relationships most people have with the software they run today. It's easy to 'not know what you're missing', especially because you don't really get it from just using a few pieces of F/OSS on a proprietary platform.

But the real reason to use F/OSS is to take refuge and let go of that tension of the posture you have to take with software whose authors don't have your interests at heart, that alertness and readiness to swat away nags, to dodge traps, to dig up the checkboxes and registry hacks and configuration files you need to disable an endless onslaught of individually small but nonetheless malicious behaviors.

Imo, that makes it worth it to try to convince a few of your friends to explore Jitsi or Matrix or Revolt with you instead of trying to make room for whatever proprietary social media apps are trendy right now, even if you have never read a line of code in your life.
Not in the slightest.

What happened?

It is our best estimate that when servers had to be moved from one data center to another and despite the fact that the machines being moved were protected by both firewall and antivirus, some of the machines were infected before the move, with an infection that had not been actively used in the previous data center, and we had no knowledge that there was an infection.

During the work of moving servers from one data center to the other, servers that were previously on separate networks were unfortunately wired to access our internal network that is used to manage all of our servers.

Via the internal network, the attackers gained access to central administration systems and the backup systems.

One way people try to tease out those differences is through methods like "Difference in Differences"[1] which try to estimate causal relationships from observational data. These methods are used in marketing analysis as well.

In my experience, it is easy to break one of the many assumptions inherent in methods like Diff-in-diff. Because of this I have little trust in these techniques in general.
