The ones who got paid most, probably. I.E. their best workers. I’ve seen it before. That’s what they typically do when they want to cut costs and make the balance sheet look really good.

If that doesn’t make sense to you, try to see it from upper management’s point of view. They don’t see products, or customer attitudes, or people. None of that is legible to them. They can’t measure that stuff. What they can measure, is numbers. Numbers in, numbers out. Making the numbers-in bigger takes time. Making the numbers-out smaller is much quicker. Just let go a bunch of the biggest numbers on your outgoing money sheet. Presto!

All networks are “lossy” because any cable can be cut, etc.

A “lossy” protocol is one that doesn’t attempt to compensate for that. In most cases, but not all, that means a higher level protocol will need to ensure that every bit of data has made it through. (An example protocol that might not care is one for watching broadcast TV on the Internet… if you miss a few seconds it’s not a big deal).

I've read their reports and their annual revisions. I'm not convinced they're needed, and since the "science" here is purely a wild guess using models projected backwards in time to fit existing data, the results aren't particularly meaningful either.

Do any of these require you to invent novel phenomenon to "study?" If not, then your comparison is purely the making of a strawman.

If it's a calm humid day, the ammonia will combine with moisture to form a vapor that's heavier than air, so it will settle to the ground instead of dissipating. That means if you have even a tiny leak from the pump nozzle, over time it would accumulate in low-lying areas like basements.

You're also safer if you leave your phone in airplane mode, or better yet off. Juice jacking is possible, but there's no evidence it's been deployed. A zeroclick attack seems like a much bigger threat, and I can't do much against that.

>If you live in the middle of USA you are probably OK but many people live in or near nation states that could totally install juice jackers centrally.

You're missing the point. If your adversary is a nation state, you're already screwed. They have better methods of attack than hoping you need to battery is low in some specific location.

edit let's assume I run a criminal organization and want to effectively use juice jacking. My first step would be to purchase several expensive zero days, and then develop some kind of software to launch it and to assure only phones susceptible to them get targeted, otherwise people will quickly notice something's wrong.

Then I need to get access to real estate in a high traffic area, where I'll need to buy electricity and run some kind of data server. Then I'll need to get people to sift through the resulting data, and the "payoff" is what, banking details or credit cards? Attacking an ATM seems way easier.

Don't assume that.

Not everyone can just hop into a new job. Some top performers, who are deep into their career, need to invest a lot of time in their job searches.

If finding a new job takes someone 160+ hours, it's impractical to do that while doing honest work for their employer. People have families and other things to do outside of work.

That's why negotiating a severance package is a thing.
It looks like some mirrors have packages going way back (http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/), but depending on your use-case, it may be more beneficial to focus on the base system upgrades (documented in the upgrade guide) and worry about the packages later.

That many years of package changes could be troublesome to deal with, and it may be better to fast-forward to whatever the modern tooling would be.

Not insensitive. It’s a bit of a special case. It avoided being burned in 1938 because it was already planned to be sold to the city, thought it was still damaged. Then it came to fame in 1994 when the first arson attack on a synagogue since 1938 was attempted. A second attack happened in 1995 and those responsible were never found.

It was completely restored in 2020, which was when the small police station was also added, and has been in active use as a Synagogue again since then. I’d love to see it now, as I have only been inside before the restoration started (guided tour), but I need to figure out how as it’s normally closed to the public behind an electronic gate.

And with all these restrictions on something as simple as intra-city transport, keep in mind the massive investment in autonomous vehicles 5-10 years ago was toward the ultimate goal of replacing humans in long-haul trucking and related logistics. Even if Waymo could place fully autonomous taxis into every city in America, that consolation prize wouldn't nearly make up for the shortfall of not taking over the logistics industry as was hoped.

City-bound autonomous vehicles are still far away for the reasons you point out, but autonomous long-haul trucking is back to being a sci-fi pipe dream at this point.

Amazon went IPO 2 years after it was founded, and had not made a profit in those years. The company went on to lose money for seven more years, until in 2003 when it laid off a seventh of it's employees.

Of course, by undercutting its competitors to lure in buyers, then giving away big discounts to sellers for using their platform, they became sufficiently dominant that when they pulled the rug, both sides were more-or-less stuck with Amazon's monopoly.
User serf already covered, but I'll go into detail.

1 - because even during a mass layoff, theres always a threat of a lawsuit. Sure, it may not go anywhere, but as already mentioned, defending is costly. An employee that decides to leave on their own volition is no risk. Plus, laying off people has in some states some remuneration and compliance requisites. Unemployment hearings that tie up senior staff and can be a time drain. Then theres fringe benefits. And of course, there's morale, reputation, and other intangible costs like IP loss and making an unwanted enemy or even encouraging a scrappy conpetitor. Its infinitely cheaper and desirable to get someone to leave vs termination.

2 - Please see serf's post. In addition - High performers can also be those that actively prevent product from actually shipping, ensnaring the org in turf wars, and similar (typical) large org roadblocks.

To be clear, my worldview was that this premise was insane. I still think it is strange -based own personal experience- but im far less certain of its invalidity, and I am forced to acknowledge that the CEO has better information than I have. Perhaps I need to reconsider my position.

> it’s a function of power law distribution.

People always flippantly quote this without ever looking at the distribution of the actual data.

Whenever people see an uneven distribution they cite something about power laws being that natural order of things and that ends the discussion.

It turns out in many, many cases (I'm not sure if it's particular one) the observed behavior follows nothing like a power law.

A good example of this is net-worth distributions. People often say "of course there's super rich people, that's just a power law! It's not concerning income inequality, it's nature!". But if you pull up the data and do a log-log plot you see quite clearly that it is not even close to following a power-law, and does so only at the lower 90% income quantiles. Which is funny considering the fundamental argument is that unequal distribution are natural so long as they follow a power law.

The difficulty in understanding a proof I think is partly because whoever wrote the proof omitted many "trivial" steps in the proof. But they were trivial to the person who wrote the proof, not to whoever is reading the proof.

To understand the proof you have to accumulate enough mathematical knowledge that the trivial, omitted, steps in it become trivial to you as well.

This has to do also something with the fact that
to understand the proof it cannot be longer than what fits into your memory. That is why proofs omit the trivial steps because that way mathematicians can understand the proof both in terms of remembering its outline, but also understanding how each step in it follows from the previous ones.
In my opinion, all the RISC-V showing lately from Qualcomm is related to their Nuvia acquisition and the ensuing lawsuit with ARM regarding licensing Nuvia core designs. Qualcomm is most likely doing this to put pressure on ARM.

Bluesky has more modest goals, so it hasn't siphoned away a huge number of users, but -- purely anecdotally -- it's picked up a lot of the high-profile, high-volume, wide-distribution posters, such as dril or, more recently, a large number of journalists, as part of a fairly well-executed poaching strategy. (Post.news also took this approach, but it hasn't been quite as successful, and over the medium term I don't think a VC-funded, micropayments-based platform has much in the way of legs.)

bsky's small in absolute terms (about 1.5mm users), and lacks the global audience reach that Twitter still has, but it's got better "stickiness" than, say, Threads. This, oddly, makes it a bit more of a threat than Twitter's large-scale competitors, because Twitter has always been reliant on a small number of posters generating the bulk of its widely-shared content, and a small number of high-usage users generating the bulk of its ad views. Losing a relatively small number of the most dedicated Twitter users hurts more than a larger number of low-usage/low-ARPU users.

Where bsky goes from here is an open question (complex systems are notoriously hard to predict, and as they add more users without concomitant improvements in their other systems -- think T&S -- things could go pretty badly pretty quickly), but by damaging Twitter's content generation engine they are probably doing more damage to Twitter's P&L than Threads or Lemon8 ever did.
Why though? You can't route MAC because... ?
Because ipv4 provides a higher entropy address?
Because MAC is self-assigned and reduplication would require a higher level system?
or just because we just don't use MAC addresses that way?

I'm certain there are reasons IP came to live alongside/on top of MAC, but saying you can't do multi-hop routing with it just isn't true. If all the technologies of the Internet were reset tomorrow, how might you design the perfect layer 2 addressing and routing system?

Images of violence.

Also the phrase "you think this image is acceptable to show to young kids" subtly alters my position in a disingenuous and (I think) intentional way. My position is not that you should "show young kids goatse" but that "a young kid seeing a flash of goatse isn't really a big deal". They might laugh, they might be a little grossed out, they might be curious why someone would do something so strange. I think the idea that they would be "harmed" or "traumatized" is pure adult projection.

>The "owner" of a piece of land does nothing to produce its value, they just take money for nothing because they hold a scarce resource

As soon as anybody owns any piece of land or capital, they are not doing anything to produce any value that is derived from it, they are simply collecting money for controlling a scarce resource. Those two factors of production can create ongoing value without any intervention from their owners, and you either support a persons right to own those resources, and collect some portion of the value they create, or you don't.

Your use of the phrase "legitimately earned" also means nothing in this context, and I presume this is just a weasel word you're using to avoid actually having to clarify any sort of concrete stance. For starters, legitimate according to who? I would further presume that you have some sort of view on who's accumulated their wealth legitimately, and who hasn't. What criteria have you invented for this? Is the use of capital and land something you would consider contributes to "illegitimate earnings"? Because all of that just circles back to "seizing the means of production" (as in land and capital).

Also, what's wrong with unearned capital? If I give somebody a hammer, do you have some sort of moral objection to them deriving income from the increased productivity that would create for them? Because I would suggest that the only thing that matters there is whether I had a legitimate ownership claim to the hammer in the first place.

> Geological evidence goes back a few billion years.

What "evidence" is this? Are you referring to the radioactive dating data that must first assume that radioactive decomposition happens at a fixed rate across all time (unverified and unverifiable), and that we even know what the "original" isotope breakdowns of various elements were (unknown and unknowable)? Or is there some geological evidence I am not aware of that does not require first assuming the desired conclusion.

> Science doesn't say it did. Science said it could.

Ok fine, with what evidence does science support the claim that things could go from not existing to existing with no outside intervention?

> it is the most "likely" answer

Only if you explicitly exclude the idea that a higher intelligence created the universe with life more or less as we know it (explaining the great holes in your "fossil records"/etc.). If you refrain from artificially excluding that explanation, you will see that no answer is any more likely than precisely it.
