Well, and you have to put up with your Walmart boss. S/he might be an asshole if you're not drinking buddies with them, for all we know. Walmart can't afford to pay me enough to put up with their toxic abusive bossiness, and don't offer much guarantee that the potential boss is better than Dave.
Obviously they're going to try to verify law enforcement requests. It's a tradeoff.
They get paid the bare minumum and do the bare minimum in exchange. I don’t see a problem here. What do you do BTW? I would bet that not assembling cabinets.
This actually happened to me on United about 6 years ago. They claimed it wasn't vomit though it obviously was and tried to make me sit there instead of upgrading. Eventually they gave in.
That ownership is worth exactly nil if the company fails or fails to deliver. In fact being an investor in an early stage start-up has substantially worse expectations on a per-project basis than Kickstarters. Kickstarters are 6 times more likely to succeed compared to angel investments. And when you lose your angel investment it will be a large multiple (1000x) of what you would put behind a typical Kickstarter. That increase in risk and increase in capital involved is what powers the legal requirements, and that's where there is no document with a signature on it or any legal stuff to review before you can back a Kickstarter with $50 or $100 of your hard earned money: the risk is negligible compared to an angel investment.

And investments do not necessarily result in an ownership transfer, at the seed and angel level convertible loans effectively postpone that transfer, possibly in perpetuity unless the business manages to raise a later round. Because everybody involved recognizes that if that doesn't happen there is no point in engaging in the song-and-dance of ownership transfer at a non-realistic valuation.

Your typical start-up team is far more capable in terms of business savvy than your typical Bickstarter initiator (artists, tinkerers, hobbyists, wannabe entrepreneurs) and they tend to be much less sure of their ability to bring the project to term. They will most likely underestimate their costs and runtime, overestimate their ability and availability of parts. This should factor heavily into the decision of whether or not you want to back a Kickstarter at all, no matter what the desirable features of the gadget are.

I would like to understand what you're talking about. Do you think that some people use culture as a proxy for race? Do you agree or disagree that different cultures have different values? Do you agree or disagree that culture is very closely associated by race?

To be clear, my original comment did not address any of this. I was seriously discussing culture, not race. But I think that I have something to learn from someone who takes such a stance as you have written, so I don't mind if the subject drifts a bit OT.
Product Launch Code Sucks
** THE REAL PROBLEM **

Is companies making shit that has not business connecting to the internet. _THAT_ needs to be regulated. Why does your car need an internet connection? Why does your fridge need an internet connection? What does your robovac need an internet connection? ALL of these items could work just fine with zero internet connect, or a simple LAN connection.

If we could regulate that, we'd solve 95% of the problem and the IOT Update problem goes away. Ounce of prevention worth a Terabit-Scale DDOS of cure.

It was a weird offhand jab to the flight attendants union at the end - this situation would seems like some job performance metric issue tied to on time departure stats. The captain & crew choices were to hold the plane for a cleanup, or offer to reschedule the flight for the boarded passengers (because really it seems like there should have been a call ahead for a cleanup crew on standby, or a reschedule of those passengers before the plane even landed).
not exactly everyone who is suffering from poverty voted for brexit.
I wasn't particularly appreciative of the phrasing in the opening sentence:

> Thanks to a popular and relatively cheap hacking tool, hackers can spam your iPhone with annoying pop-ups

Because it seems to place blame (possibly unintentionally) on "a popular and relatively cheap hacking tool" rather than "an individual's choice to annoy the shit out of others".
Sounds like an advertising problem. How would anyone know about those cabinet making jobs, as opposed to very visible jobs at places like Walmart? I've certainly never seen an ad for a $60k a year entry level cabinet-making job!
Wireless communications are inherently jammable. Where is the border between this and a bunch of microwaves jamming cell reception?
I’m not saying Apple should not have done a better job in anti-spam measures, but “please don’t” is a basis for many nice things we have.
Thankfully, there isn't such a system anywhere in the developed world. We have price controls on rent, utilities, healthcare, etc. It would be extremely hard to convince folks in a democracy to vote against those.
That’s not the only failure mode though so it’s possible you’re missing something.

You should play around with git bisect - seems like you've not used it much. It's a life changer when it comes to finding what broke.

Don't forget, a project like Terraform is too big. No one person can know how the whole system works. Trying to look through PRs as a means of debugging is a fools errand. You have to take on a different mindset when working on these large codebases.

Disclaimer: Used to work at Amazon.

Funny story, internally Amazon Search doesn't consider the ads products to be part of the "search results". It is tracked and accounted to Ads.

The way Ads are handled on Amazon is really poorly done. The Ads teams claim to make a lot of money (and based on the internal accounting tricks they do), and as such have been pushing Amazon's leadership to go more into Ads, even tho every person I've met that worked at Amazon also hated the prevalence of Ads.

Literally, Directors and VPs at Amazon are afraid to step on the toes of Ads' leadership team because of how well they have told the story about "Ads is excessively profitable".

Meanwhile, all of us in the thread can easily say, even if it is short term profitable, it most certainly is not long term profitable for Amazon.

Both from internally and externally it has been very disappointing to watch actually.
What helps is to know roughly what is in your big bin of oddball screws etc. Sorting by rough groups can help though: a bin of oddball bolts, another for oddball nuts etc. That way you at least narrow it down a bit without requiring a ton more space for bins that will have at most two screws in them.

The US psychology school tends to be very pavlovian in the way they apply therapy. It's prescriptive rather than empathic (do this vs helping you re-position your views of yourself). My guess is probably due to cost.

Other schools of therapy take a long time, and healthcare in the US is extremely expensive, so I don't see those other techniques becoming popular.

> Why do you care so much about gender?

I don't care much about gender, it's just a grammatical concept (honestly, less interesting than verb tenses or noun declensions). I care a lot about sex, because it's intimately linked to reproduction, which is the strongest human instinct, without it human life would not exist. Kind of like how people care about "food" and "water".

> To everyone advocating for higher wages, you're actually advocating for higher prices for many of the things you purchase.

I'm advocating for higher wages for truck drivers, and lower wages for trucking company executives.

Will it come out in the wash? I don't know. But it certainly means that the net increase in shipping costs is smaller than if you focus only on the increased driver pay.
Really depends on the specific pronect of course, but there's definitely some "posted online like code" projects out there. It's a more technical target audience of course, but I've seen plenty of projects with design files included ready to be sent to a PCB manufacturer. Two categories I can easily think of are mechanical keyboards and modular synthesizers.
To me it happened the other way around.

Uh.

23 billion was the gross profit

12 billion operating income

-1.9 billion net income

Ie they lost money in 2022 when all was said and done.

Also no company that has taken outside money from investors can just give their profits to employees and not share the profits back to the investors.

No investor would ever give money to a company where their share of the profits - which they were duly owed because they took a risk and put money into an enterprise - is not returned to them - and instead shared to employees because it’s the righteous thing to do.

No CEO or CFO would keep their jobs for long if they did this.

That’s just not how capitalism works.

Their premise is false, and when called out on it, they resorted to claiming the official numbers are fraudulent, with no source. Even though they chose an “official” number themselves as the premise for their argument.
I hone mine every time I use it with a steel. Honing is not the same thing as sharpening - op was talking about sharpening.

(For those curious - the sharp edge on the knife tends to bend over time, which makes it worse at cutting. Running it over a honing steel helps to straighten that bend out but doesn't actually remove metal from the blade. The actual edge will stay sharp for much longer and so you only need to properly sharpen (with a whetstone or if you hate your knives one of those awful swipy wedge things) a decent knife once every 6 months - a year.
I like how I won't admit in public where I get my news.
Almost like it's different people :)

The bigger issue is that simplistic takes expressed strongly with no room for disagreement tend to get the most upvotes from other people. The people who agree will upvote, the people who disagree will just move on, and the people who don't have an opinion will think the person sounds like they know what they're talking about and will upvote anyway. That's how you end up with back to back threads where completely opposite takes are highly upvoted, and both of them happen to be awful takes.
Excited to try this out. A couple things I just noticed:

- the buttons on the download page aren't readable in Orion browser (basically Safari) on desktop. The buttons appear empty as the contents are rendered several rems below, overlapping the text "See more options on Github". Disabling the style `.btn { flex-wrap: wrap; }` in the inspector fixes it for me, but I see animations and transitions attached to this class so I'd suspect those might be the root cause bc nothing else looks strange.

- After I downloaded for Mac Apple Chip and started up the software, it says it's several versions out of date and asks if it can update itself. While I'm glad it was able to do so instead of sending me back to the website, it's a strange experience.
> People saying you can get 10k req/s from Node.js is stupid.

No, it's not, for exactly the reason you state:

> You're not actually getting that on say, a single low-end instance over the Internet

Some languages are, of course, more efficient, but it doesn't matter - you can get very good performance out of any language/runtime - it's all about your architecture and infrastructure.
Unlikely to get accepted by CNCF (I would think). There's big movement by the cloud vendors to create IAC-first APIs. Once those APIs gain traction and the industry as a whole signals that that's the direction to go, we'll see a standard emerge, and a new general purpose tool get built that will replace Terraform and all of its providers. That's a few years away however, assuming that effort doesn't die down.
> "If you can use open source, you can prototype hardware"

You can prototype some hardware. I’ve looked into trying to build some stuff that goes beyond what a little prepackaged MCU dev board can do, and I can’t wrap my head around it. Too much stuff involved that in no good at.
> They should be willing to pay truckers whatever wage allows them to profit.

That's pretty superficial. The critical question is "how much profit?" There is a world of difference between coming out $0.01 ahead of costs and coming out $10M ahead of costs.
Goalpost shifting

Lol -2 billion in net income is exactly what I think it is saying. Are we saying Ford is committing accounting fraud or trickery?

"It's super easy for a company to make up additional overhead above and beyond gross profits to disappear everything."

What about administrative costs? What about debt? Do we ignore everything besides COGS?

Dividend payments, stock buybacks, etc are not ways to disappear everything. They are ways to make their stock attractive to buyers, keep them in dividend indices, etc

How is this whole thread ignoring standard accounting and the reality of properly running a business?
Looks like it’s only available for Python, I was hoping for a more language agnostic solution. Thanks though!
Sticking with the usability theme -- get a leather strop and some stropping compound! It's so much easier to pass all the sharpness tests and keep an edge on a knife if you use a strop. It doesn't require as much precision due to the way the leather molds to the surface of the edge. Quick, easy, and effective assuming you already have a decently formed edge.
The market will efficiently squander it on party balloons.
As far as I know, this dialog is only supposed to pop up for password requestors in your contact list, your own devices (which have an Apple ID based signing credential that can be verified offline) etc., so this seems like an easy to fix bug on Apple's side rather than a conceptual weakness.
Yep, the distinction between crappy knives and good knives is generally more about how long they hold an edge for rather than how sharp that edge is.

Victorinox make knives that are good and cheap though. They're the only brand I know of at that price point that I really wouldn't mind using instead of something quite a bit more expensive like Global.

Assuming a certain baseline quality of steel, the most important thing in a knife is how comfortable the handle is and whether the balance/weight is right for your particular taste and grip.
I dunno… it seems no less crazy than people who put “three months salary” on their finger.

A Walmart job is an exceedingly reliable paycheck for a clean job in a climate-controlled environment where the majority of the occupational risk is exposure to the public.

I can't fault anyone for choosing that option if they can live with the income level, it's relatively sane.
I have recently seen someone wrap a single function in about 10 classes of Java to turn it into a standalone application, slap on some Docker Compose magic, add some build scripts, and then continue to look proud at the feature being wholly configurable at deployment time.

Of course, the deployment team would have to be informed about this change, so some documentation was required as well, but that was exactly the part of the process where most effort was saved.

Note that all this was used for a system that would be deployed only at one customer, and the feature would always be on. Yes, a boolean flag would have been a better solution for this.

My cynicism is probably not the best approach to change the world for the better, so any hint on how to teach younger colleagues to stop snacking micro service candy is much appreciated.

However: If workers are paid more, they also have more money to spend to purchase products and services. This is good for the vast majority, including almost all businesses. It is good for the workers who get a better material standard and quality of life.

There has been a great increase in worker productivity in the last decades, why is that never accounted for? Almost everybody I know who actually work, produce the same as it would take 5-10 people to produce just 20 years ago. That's probably true for truckers as well, with modern logistic systems, huge lorries and better highways.

Higher wages and higher prices are probably bad for the huge amount of the population who don't work and never has worked. But with higher salaries, work will look more attractive to them as well.
Yes. And what would you consider "keep malding" to be? In any case, I edited my reply to remove the snark.
Isn’t it though? You can attack email systems, network operators, and end users in a myriad of ways remotely from anywhere in the world. How can you compromise a traditional fax? Eavesdropping the PSTN itself? Physical access to one of the machines? Stealing the printed document?

Network fax systems are more convenient to use than traditional, but still more secure than email because they’ve been designed to be so.

HFA + ADHD. I absolutely agree. I find that I focus easily when I have an ignored distraction just out of sight: a coding stream, a let's play, or what-have-you. It's as though it keeps the distractible part of my brain occupied, so the focusing side can get to work. I would never be able to do that at an office - it would be misunderstood as a distraction in the forefront.

I'm also logical to a flawed degree, and RTO makes me actually angry (yay autism) because it's such an extreme example of illogical stupidity. Altman is the last exec on earth that I would want anything to do with.
People were asking online for help dealing with WiFi interference, and were getting answers telling them how to install open source firmware on their WiFi routers, and giving them exact commands and configuration changes that would set the power higher than was legally allowed or stop them from avoiding channels that were being used by active weather radar (5 GHz WiFi shares channels with weather radar and is supposed to monitor and only use those channels when the radar is not in use).

I suppose you could call that accidental radio pollution, because most of the people doing it probably didn't realize that they were causing interference, but regardless it was becoming a problem.

Hence regulations to address it.

That's the world we're in now. You have a problem, you do a search online for help, and among the answers you often will find some that really should only be used by people with more experience or expertise than you but do not make that clear.
>Why does it cost SO MUCH!?

Because it is their first generation chip, thus small production run.

You can either wait for the next one (SOPHON SG2044, with V 1.0 extension, TBA 2024) or get something that's mass-produced now, such as SBCs or tablets based on the JH7110 or TH1520 SoCs.

That's really neat, but on another level it's a shame that this is possible with so many keycards still.

At least for magnetic stripe keycards, you'd need actual physical access to the card for a second; with many contactless ones, a tap on somebody's wallet/pocket is enough.

Actually secure keycards only cost fractionally more; even classic Mifare (which has been thoroughly hacked) would offer better security than this.
All the providers are still MPL licensed, however. Maybe I'm missing something, but what part of the license change for Terraform core prevents someone from investigating and fixing a bug in the AWS provider in a similar manner going forward?

Even Terraform core remains source available and so 'community' users can still take a look at the source code and identify/report/fix errors.
