> A watch company should not be a movie studio.

> A movie studio should not be a grocery store.

> A search engine paying for 100% placement should not also be a music platform, movie platform, thermostat vendor, cloud vendor, ...

Then what's the lawful distance between goods and services that company should be able to offer?

I get the position that big is bad, and I don't entirely disagree with that, but selling watches offers no unfair benefit to apple in the movie studio business, and vice versa. It's not like they're tying one good to another, or leveraging market power in one to gain market power in the other.

So if we want to say that you can't run a company that makes consumer electronic devices and a movie studio (see also, Sony, Amazon), then what's the limit?

Should a company that makes motorcycles be allowed to sell, say, fine stringed instruments (Yamaha)?

What about a company that makes industrial adhesives? Should they be allowed to also sell office supplies (3M)?

This looks like a great option to keep around for using with the Quest headset. Meta's VR controllers don't have a d-pad, which is awful when you want to play Tetris Effect in VR.

I've used the slightly larger 8BitDo Lite SE gamepad for that in the past, but a smaller unit with a nice d-pad would be nice.

(Assuming that it does in fact work with the Quest. Now I'm not sure..)
San Francisco is famously a hodgepodge of Spanish-looking names with canonical hybrid pronunciations.

- Divisadero: duh viz uh derro

- Arguello: are goo-ell o

- San Rafael: san ruff ell

- Tomales: tuh mal es

- Gough: gawff (not Spanish, but still surprising)
The same reason politicians name the most toxic and disgusting bills the “Protect the Children Act”.
North/West European middle class, for example.

I'm from Finland myself, I've been living in the US for some years, and I have no concrete plans to return. I've known many Finns who have tried the same, but most of them have returned to Finland, or at least to Europe. Most of them are highly educated professionals. It turns out the difference in standard of living is not that large. For most people, living closer to family and friends is more important. If they find a decent opportunity closer to home, they usually take it.

You can see the same effect with Finnish nurses. They could improve their standard of living significantly by moving to Norway. Probably more than software engineers moving to the US. It would be easy, because Norway is close, the culture is pretty similar, and Finnish citizens have a subjective right to live and work there. But few people actually do that.

It is not their job to say what is true or false. That's propaganda. They also do not have the right to enforce what you train your AI to say.

Would love to see the SC challenge this EO. It violates the 1A.
In understand that, and it's a valid reason but likely the minority of uses. It bothers me quite a lot that the is such a stigma around hearing aids. Those fake Bluetooth earpiece things were the start of it. That is a social problem where we see hearing aids and associate old abd weak with it. I'm not saying that why you use it, by I do personally know others who use those devices so they look more "youthful".

I think anyone who's going to wear them needs to have extra focus on those around who might be trying to communicate. Or maybe they need an "I'm not listening" light so we know who not to talk to.
If I had a penny for every legitimate email I marked as spam, I’d be a billionaire.

The same reason North Korea is officially called the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". If you're not going to walk the talk, you can still get some good PR from an "aspirational" name. You'd think that people would be wise to this strategy after so many Definitely Not Evil groups turned out to actually be evil, but every year brings a new cohort of gullibles into the world.
I’m a PM too and I agree; I judge how good a job I’m doing by how smooth everything runs for my team - how they have everything they need to do their best work, they have all the context, requirements, insight, metrics, goals….etc they have an understanding of what problem they’re trying to solve who we’re solving it for and crucially why we need to solve it.

A good PM creates an environment where engineers like OP thinks the PM is not needed because “PMs do nothing” or whatever. It’s short sighted and frankly insulting
There's a colossal difference between encountering stressful situations and thinking it's normal that jobs should be so stressful so often that the national school curriculum should prepare people to endure mental and emotional abuse. There is no way around it: it's screwed up.

Same! And APC rings a bell - were they MP3 and ISO?

I was an MP3 courier in a group on a lot of global top sites. I remember being in an irc chan for one of them (I think it was the hungarian one) and kali of the top group RNS stated his birthday or something else personal and said "oh crap I shouldn't have said that" lol. He was indicted by the DOJ in 2009! He was found not guilty of conspiracy to commit copyright infringementalthouh 4 other members pleaded guilty.

They busted sites from time to time but RIAA couldn't do anything substantial. I stayed away from movies and tv because that was riskier and I enjoyed getting music a week or two before the p2p platforms got them. And also getting high quality rips. The sister group that did ISOs eventually got busted.

Saw the move from ftp to fxp and shell accounts and semi-auto and automated trading. Some government officials would spend years to infiltrate the groups to bust the sites and members.

Anyway, it was with being a courier that I got interested in code and had an insane amount of lines to handle all the topsite rules on what they would accept and I traded semi-automated. We even had a UI to help.

I actually met a few people from those days in person and they were really cool. Still friends with one of them today. Many groups required meeting in person or doing a phone call before you could join and then they eventually relaxed that.

Top takeaway being that it's not just versioned geo feature items, but versioned per-feature formats. Various popular GIS database formats are supported as the "checked-out" representation, analogous to a git local-filesystem tree. Maybe does conversions between standard GIS formats well -- wasn't obvious.

One question I'm left with is performance:

> Every database table row is stored in its own file. ...
> The internet was meant to stop reliance on single sources

I thought it was part of CAN SPAM that you can’t require a second action and that was why the big email sending providers moved to that.
I love this way of explaining it. I've been calling it the programmers fallacy -- "anything you can do you can do in a for loop."

I think in a lot of ways we all struggle with the nature of some things changing their nature depending on the context and scale. Like if you kill a frenchman on purpose that's a murder, if you killed him because if he attacked you first it's self defense, if you killed him because he was convicted of a crime that's an execution, if you killed him because he's french that's a hate crime, but if you're at war with France that's killing an enemy combatant, but if he's not in the military that's a civilian casualty, and if you do that a lot it becomes a war crime, and if you kill everyone who's french it's a genocide.
Yeah, can confirm this (for those looking at their status pages which claim otherwise).
"open models/blacklists don't come anywhere close to Gmail's capabilities"

I disagree with you. I use Postfix with rspamd plugged into it for my personal email account. I get way more spam to my gmail than I do to my personal account, and I sign up to everything with my personal account.

rspam also dkim signs my emails when I send them etc, verifies SPF/DKIM/DMARC on recipet etc.

Now to counter that - I am a TINY mail server - Probably 100 emails a day tops.
Plastics can be synthesized from most carbohydrate gases.

You can make most carbohydrate gases from water & CO2 from the air. The problem is that it's very energy-intensive, so the best way to create such plastics is by using excess renewable energy (e.g. peak solar) to create renewable carbohydrates.

Currently, the tech has not been economically scaled yet, due to being new, and also not enough renewable capacity being available.
Thanks for pointing out, yeah it was very fast paced

How come? I would value a Stanford degree and working at Google on a resume. I wouldn’t know what to think about The White House or Air Force (like many posting on their site) on a resume.
That's completely backwards. I don't think you understand how reverse mortgages work. It's not the same as a home equity loan.

As for leaving an estate for heirs, that's a separate issue from retirement planning. There's no way to leave a bunch of debt to heirs. If you die with liabilities exceeding assets then any debt which remains after selling off assets is simply defaulted. The heirs will inherit nothing of significant value, but creditors can't force them to pay off the remaining debts either.

From a personal perspective: What I've learned about free markets is, that you can usually find a match with every customer who agrees to accept what you offer. So if you apply to a senior position and someone accepts you as a match, there you go. We as a global industry don't really have an standard for career paths. At least I personally don't know any. Whereas being accepted as a senior, but only having 1 year of industry experience might be pretty rare though. So expect a correlation with documented years of experience though.

From what I learned in the European market is: Senior roles are expected to be able to independently reach quality results without too much extra attention/help from their direct management or technical team leaders. If you've been the sole developer for a long time in your space, chances are good, that you are already showing this capability. Even though when changing from a small/mid startup to an enterprise company this might change in a sudden, because now you are in a total different problem space an culture. Boundaries seem a bit fluent or fuzzy here from my personal POV.

On an extra many companies seem to categorize personal into senior tier, when then additionally are able to hand down the torch on knowledge down to the more junior levels, to enable them doing their work better than before.

I was very, very worried about mine earlier this year.

It was 100% a nonevent. My doc's prep regime was fairly mild (basically, a jug of gatorade with a whole jar of miralax in it at 6pm, and then another at 1am, for an 0800 call). I had no cramping or bloating to speak of. I didn't sleep in the bed with my wife after the 1am dose, mostly b/c I didn't want to disturb her by getting up over and over, but also slightly b/c I was a LITTLE afraid of not making it to the loo in time. This fear proved completely unfounded.

The "worst" part for me really ended up being that I (wisely) did NOT go cycling on the Sunday before, since I know that ramps up my metabolism and leaves me very hungry the day after. I missed my ride, but it made the clear-diet Monday much more tolerable.
aaand that reminds me of "Torpenhow Hill".

> When the Saxons arrived and asked the Welsh the name of that hill, the Welsh said “pen” which means "hill" in Welsh. So the Saxons used their word for hill, “tor,” and called it Torpen (hill hill).
>
> Then the Norse arrived and the same process added the their world for hill “Haugr”. So now it was Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).
>
> Later, the English called it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Turns out the rise near the village of Torpenhow isn't named Torpenhow Hill, but I digress... Here's a quick YT on it:

I agree. I've been speaking (American) English 99% of the time for the past thirty years but still have a noticeable German accent, never get any flak for that. Apparently Joseph Conrad spoke with a heavy Polish accent so that's my excuse.

What's sad is that educated people look down on people speaking "grammatically incorrect" even if their way of speaking is consistent within their group and conveying meaning perfectly. I just call that snobbery.

Company names often don’t mean anything at all, they’re just a pointer to the corporate entity. Think of it like “Google” or “Exxon” or similar, doesn’t matter what it means just what it points to. It just needs to be distinct and not confused with some other entity.

It’s not this but what I’ve heard labeled as ‘integrity as an obstacle’^. Many neurodivergent people (myself included) are governed less by social norms and more by authenticity. Conforming is counter to their very beings, and grotesquely undesirable

I could see keeping a pair of these in my backpack as a nice way to game with my son if the opportunity arises. Assuming the context is appropriate. Airplane, train, waiting room, etc.

This made me realize that I've never heard of this stereotype or encountered this type of person. Every single husband I've met has been outgoing and very smooth with people in all sorts of contexts. They had jobs in technical sales or were managers of some kind. They were even good at interacting with kids when they had never had any of their own.
Terraform error handling as a whole is nuts anyway. Like, I recently tried to delete an ACM cert that still was in use in a Cloudfront distribution - didn't work, but it took 20 minutes for Terraform to recognize that, yes, there's an API error. It shouldn't have come so far given that the API call immediately errors out when trying over the CLI or Web Console, but instead of erroring out, Terraform retried for 20 minutes until it hit some sort of timeout.

To make it worse, you can't even kill Terraform safely because while it does register your Ctrl+C, it won't interrupt an ongoing process, and if you force kill it you run the very serious risk of corrupting your state file.

Seriously, I'm looking for OpenTofu to light some fire under the ass of Hashicorp. I don't know where all the VC money went, but for what's supposed to be the golden standard of IaC solutions, it's sometimes bloody ridiculous.

Yes - I think in 20 years - we will need far less steel and cement as we have better alternatives, and there will be alternatives to fossil fuels by then for producing steel and cement anyway.

In the short term - CC is not a solution - there's too much carbon being emitted and there isn't an economical, scalable solution anyway.

We are going to emit what we're going to emit - and no amount of realistic CC is ever going to dent what we've already done by the time the technology is ready.
Yes it's hard to make predictions, especially about the future.

You're probably right that most people would be optimists and accept the agreement. At least they couldn't say they didn't understand the risks.

1) No cloud, everything local or site-to-site. If cloud, then encrypted entirely.

2) Not only FOSS operating system, but FOSS firmware and microcode, and the hardware completely documented and published. Maybe a 100% sales tax on retail price of, and 25 year software service assurances on, products containing ANY kind of Universal Machine which fail to meet this?
(Elect me Benevolent Dictator For Life and I will make this happen!)

3) Cryptography and cybersecurity basics need to be taught in public schools, just like resumé writing.
A friend of mine started a window washing business. We'll call it "Willy's Windows". He had a great reputation and the business reflected his name. He sold the business, and the new owner kept "Willy's Windows" because it already had a reputation attached to it. And that's your answer. Even through Acquisitions, major company changes and refactoring, a name carries a reputation. And when it's a good one, they keep it, even if it means nothing in their new state.
> Because engineering failed to consider these details.

I don't think you got the point. The point is that no one cares, or think it's important enough and much less critical to justify wasting time with it. Product Managers are there to create value, and spending time on things no one notices is not how you create value.
IBM still invests in it's mainframes, and you can also run Linux on VMs, if you wanted to start to transition over some things.

You can run an official IBM emulator for only $5,980.00 per user per year[0]. I've never done it, but this[1] guy did.

Or you can run the open source Hercules[2] emulator, but this is limited to Linux, or older IBM operating systems.

HDThoreaun is saying that it's possible to work in the private sector for a decade and save/invest enough to FIRE, especially if in your "retirement" you're also pulling in $180k/y and getting government benefits.

There's "barista FIRE" (save enough and then go work as a barista, typically at starbucks because they had unusually good benefits, but I don't know if all that has changed after the unionization), but honestly working for the government seems like it could be even lower-stress than being a barista.
Probably true but how do you handle autodetonation of email links in that case? Too many emails servers will click links automatically to check for issues.
