That service is called unemployment, but unfortunately the state unemployment agency defers to the company for the reason of termination rather than what you say. So if they say you quit voluntarily rather than because they violated their promises or OSHA rules, you don't get anything.
I don't even know how to answer a hypothetical like that.

So the EU and US are both monolithic blocks with no internal diversity, right?

"Acknowledging" is an especially interesting choice of word here, as if presupposing that your misunderstanding of the world is inherently correct.

You think those are the only kind of investments? The local small businesses don't get loans? The local small businesses don't depend on other businesses?

This is an egregious deployment of the word "egregious". In a world where security catastrophes are de rigueur (all of them driven by oversights), this level of drama over an audio bug is so unjustified that it reads like trolling.
I never said that employees shouldn’t have preferences (I explicitly stated otherwise in another comment) and shouldn’t have a say in the matter. I was just saying that ultimately the CEO makes the call on RTO (at least that’s what it seems to be at megacorps), whether it’s the right or wrong one isn’t my call.
Not saying this is the case here, but in the hands of dictatorial regimes, systems like Microsoft Defender, Play Protect, Gatekeeper, etc, can be used to expose and silence critics, dissidents, and persecuted groups.

A corporate-enforced inscrutable system that uses cryptography and OCSP to potentially remotely approve and deny what users run on their machines would be coveted by leaders who want to crackdown on their constituents.

Relying on a 401k alone means that in the best case scenario means you're all but guaranteed to work until 60. Being on this site, you're statistically likely to be a person that can retire on great sums long before 60 and be both financially secure and have many healthy years to enjoy your life.
Anyone remember when Chromebooks were these really fast lightweight cheap systems? I used to be a huge fan of Chromebooks back then. Not anymore.

Chromebooks went off the deep end when they told you and promised you that you would get these computers which could run linux apps and android apps. The idea was great: "Run web apps, mobile apps, and desktop apps, all on a secure throwaway system." The performance of doing that was abysmal on weak laptops. It used lots of memory. It started off very slowly when the Linux VM and Android VMs booted. And slowed down the browser too. Chromebook Co should have followed the Windows/Apple way: release those VMs only on certified premium/plus notebooks.
Yeah, basically a human factors approach will work better than asking general users to vastly increase their cognitive load and/or increase capex for a small value of savings.

Free LED light bulb handouts are more effective than complex expensive-to-implement programs requiring user intervention. Mandating low gpm showerheads works better than asking people to take short showers. Better windows per building code works better than asking people to choose the exotic greenbug window, etc.
The AI OS (Sept 2023 Recap)
I'm pretty sure the author is misinterpreting what she saw.

Here is a thing that Google does do:
The user searches for "children's clothing".
An advertiser has created a search ad for the keyword "NIKOLAI-brand kidswear". If the advertiser has enabled "broad match" for their ad, then their ad will be eligible to be shown on the user's page in one of the advertising slots, even though there are no words in common between the user's query and the advertiser's keyword.

Does anyone have evidence of Google manipulating the user's query to affect the organic search results shown to the user?
If he really thought that libertarianism was a good system, would he be okay with me expressing my freedom to use the resources he considers his? Or would he want government enforcement to maintain "his" resources?

Twitter doesn't require the user to either use a custom client or a web extension. When you require either for an improved user experience, you can chop N% of potential users off your projections.

Neither Twitter nor Facebook require you to choose a 'neighborhood.' It's all one tent. Having to build a red-string map of relationships to pick one is a real chore and a turn-off for potential users. Chop another N% off the projections.

That having been said... It's entirely possible that all of that is fine! We don't need every user on the planet; this isn't a VC-driven startup idea, we don't need unlimited growth to make a stock market and some money-suits happy. And the things 1, 2, and 3 give users have value (privacy and anonymity, the ability to choose who you trust with your private information while still using the service, and not being obligated to rub elbows with Nazis because either daddy Musk or papa Zuckerberg have either not noticed they're Nazis or they've chosen not to care, because, hey, Nazis are part of that X% of total possible users too).

Of all of them, (1) is the only one where I feel some change to the infrastructure of the web might be worth discussing. It would have to be done very carefully to preserve user privacy and anonymity, but I think a case can be made that the current domain-centric security model actually makes for soft incentive to centralize services (fewer auth bridges to build), which may not actually be a categorical good for the overall health and future of the web as a technology.

Maybe we should expand the client-side trust model to allow for trusting a federation (in a way better than the [related website sets](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/privacy-sandbox/related-we...) proposal, which in fact hyper-centralizes the understanding of trust behind the browser's control and is basically a way for the FAANG sites to link together their user experience across YouTube, Google, Blogger, et. al. without a lot of complicated server-side state passing).
I write a slide management platform that doesn't convert images to a single format and it mostly works. From time to time you do get issues though (cause you see millions of slides). Sometimes vendor's own libraries fail to open the slides (cough Phillips cough). Or there is a new version of firmware that sets some flag that wasn't used before.

We support DICOM supp 145 too, but it's no panacea. There are still vendor specific quirks. The "surface" is larger (cause you expect all the metadata to be there in the standard format) so you still sometimes see differences.
Thank you for your detailed response. I completely agree that certain standards for a safety critical system should be met for when these devices go out of the factory!

Regarding BMS safety, the reason for removing control of the discharge path is that the device should always prioritize the safety of the user while riding. Instead of dropping the user to the pavement, pushback and audio alerts should be done to alert the user that one of the cells is having a voltage issue, or the pack is getting too hot. Bypassing the BMS's discharge does not effect charge protection, which is the main scenario of what would cause the battery to catch on fire and burn your house down.

In fact, Future Motion DISABLED BEING ABLE TO READ INDIVIDUAL CELL VOLTAGES TO MONITOR THE SAFETY OF THE PACK in an effort to restrict 3rd parties from building batteries. Another anti-consumer decision was the GT having 6.5" non-standard rims in an effort to corner the tire after market. Larger rim size is actually bad for riding characteristics and the right move from an engineering perspective would have been to go smaller actually (the float life is working on 5" hubs)

Yes, I get that having a OneWheel catch on fire impacts their brand, but there's multiple other issues with these devices and quite a number of anti-R2R which is not acting in good faith for users safety, and again, the actual dangerous scenarios are when a cell gets over-charged which the BMS is still there for to enforce. :)

Regarding R2R there's people all around the world who ride these devices, and sending the board into their only location in Cali just isn't an appropriate solution. Unfortunately FM has been very strict on enforcing patents (even though they didn't technically invent the self balancing skateboard as there is prior art) and they have created a anti-competitive, anti-consumer market.

I would absolutely love a safer device that meets the safety standards and certifications you mention, and I hope there can be a path forward where I don't have to build these myself. I'm lazy. I don't exactly enjoy this type of work on my board (I'd rather be riding). I do it out of necessity.
I don't disbelieve you but the problem is that it's off topic here. Let me see if I can dig up some past explanations about this.

> so a bike with charging capabilities would be both a mobility boost (again assuming theft wasn't a concern) and a general utility boost.

From article:
> Talbot's product takes advantage of the fact that, without having to pay to take out one of these bikes, their chain will still move when pedalling backwards.

There is no mobility boost. It warms my heart someone is trying to think of ways for the homeless to recharge any portable electronics, but I think buying a solar panel, battery, charge management electronics would be of more immediate help.

Regarding the issue of theft, a sort of exoskeleton with styrofoam panels to stay warm during winter, and a heat exchanger to keep not just temperature but also inside humidity under control would be very welcome. But it seems not much research is going into housing in the shape of a suit, nor in clothes designed to be worn for very long durations at a time.
Have you considered overriding the Emacs process EDITOR variable via setenv? i.e.:

(setenv "EDITOR" "/usr/bin/emacsclient -c")

If you do that, it should cause any child processes (e.g.: vterm) to inherit the replaced EDITOR variable and properly open new editor frames instead of trying to do a terminal takeover.

> I doubt many English speakers care to distinguish between English dialects

I think you'd be surprised how many english (UK) people will get pissed off when their spell-checker starts removing the "u" from colour or flavour, or how many English (US) people get pissed off when the spellchecker starts suggesting random "u"s to words.

additionally to that, locale isn't just about language. English (US) and English (UK) decides whether your dates get formatted DD-MM-YY or MM-DD-YY, whether your numbers have the thousands broken by commas or spaces, and a host of other localization considerations with a lot more significance than just the dialect of english.

Bought a Chromebook to use as a webcam machine for meetings. Thing was fucking useless. We just used an old Macbook instead. Same price point.
Or perhaps we should stop pushing everyone to college and encourage those who have the aptitude to go into trades. Of the successful tradespeople I know, the only thing going to college would have done was delayed their entry into the workforce and saddle them with debt. Might they be able to run their businesses 10% more efficiently or grow twice as big had they had more business education? Probably, but there are far more businesses that succeed by being just the right size for the owner than there are hyper growth oriented, lean machines.
ehhh...I think it only seems common because it's amplified by the internet. Still, it's weird, many are perverts, and I don't really think most people want business advice from someone who's basically announcing to the world that they jerk off to cartoon animals
"the definition of graphemes changes from version to version"

In what twisted reality did someone think this a good idea?

Doesn't it go against the whole premise of everyone in the world agreeing on how to represent a meaningful unit of text?

"What’s sad for us is that the rules defining grapheme clusters change every year as well. What is considered a sequence of two or three separate code points today might become a grapheme cluster tomorrow! There’s no way to know! Or prepare!"

"Even worse, different versions of your own app might be running on different Unicode standards and report different string lengths!"

Teams avoiding security reviews are common cross-industry.

Incentives everywhere are “dodge” - the expected outcome for managers and engineers is missed deadlines and reschedulings on prior promises, frequent blame-focused meetings and late nights; and low prestige, high effort work unsuitable for making the company money, getting promotions, or maintaining agility in the future, as most security work is extremely mercurial and often only very marginally improves security, if at all.

Most “security fixes” at large firms are built on inscrutable black-box internal tooling which becomes a massive single point of failure and is rarely as hardened as implied, gets re-shuffled on what constitutes “best practices” every 12 months such that a feature team can spend literally all their time doing security work the team will be throwing out next year, are often not intelligently scoped to handle “this issue doesn’t specifically apply to my component”, and aren’t even the weak link when most hacks are

> For RT-induced muscle hypertrophy in healthy young men, consuming a protein-enriched meal at breakfast and less protein at dinner while achieving an adequate overall PI is more effective than consuming more protein at dinner. This study was registered at University hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000037583

RT = resistance training, PI = protein intake. While total protein intake is most important, protein timing and distribution still matters for muscle (contrary to what's propounded in fasting and time-restricted feeding circles), and according to this study, even if the distribution is spaced out, if it's skewed toward dinner, that appears to be sub-optimal.

I have a nice office at work, where I have less distractions than at home. I find that face-to-face meetings allow for better discussions and whiteboarding than video conferencing. I can commute by bike on a lovely route, thus getting regular exercise and fresh air. I can better compartmentalize work from leisure. I don’t have to spend my whole day within the same walls. I get to see other people and have random encounters with interesting technical and non-technical discussions at work.

So it depends on circumstances and preferences. Both modes should be possible.
It should be a common thing, I am not all that sure about the offerings on linux. But the openbsd project offers full disk encryption and a bootloader that handles it well.

Actually, this may be a common mistake I make. On openbsd if the project says something works it will usually be simple to set up and have a nice documentation. So I then think "Well if the tiny openbsd project can do it, it must be this easy everywhere" which is not true at all. The two cases that come to mind were booting off a softraid volume(hopefully this one is fixed) and setting up a netflow source. both of which proved to be trivial on openbsd and a huge pain in the ass on linux. The other common mistake I make is to use the openbsd man pages(they are just better) on linux and wonder why nothing is working right.
> Most European keyboard layouts have it the other way around: first press a "dead key" for the diacritic mark and then the letter to apply it to.

// If your 401k is maxed out it is probably wrong to save anything more in general.

This sounds like really bad advice. 401K limits are 22.5K this year. If you are making 100K and you are able to put away over 20% of it, maybe that gives you a reasonable probability of maintaining your lifestyle in retirement. If you're making good money and you're only saving 22.5K, you are probably going to take a serious hit whenever your income stops.

You are also completely undervaluing having "dry powder." Let's say interest rates go through the roof and "nobody" can afford to take out a mortgage, being the one guy with cash-on-hand will let you capture some once-in-a-lifetime real estate deals.

Also, freedom. Under your scenario, someone working a decade will have saved 220K in their 401k and that's it. Now they want to quit their job and start a business. They have to cash out their 401k just to sustain ~1 year of them not drawing a salary. Who's gonna do that? Versus, imagine the same person has a ton of additional savings - they can take the risk because it's a much smaller risk to them (longer runway)

// if there is money left over after paying for normal life enjoy it as you can't take it with you

You are probably undervaluing the "enjoyment" people get out of deep financial safety.
I think this is where the "inflation is transitory" catchphrase was born.

"Yes, we see all of these price changes, but don't worry it will go back to normal after the pandemic" ... which people went along with for a while, until it was clear that prices weren't dropping back to normal.
I'd say this annoying trick is highly appropriate for the topic!
