> When people criticize an action on the grounds of the "optics," they're almost always full of shit.

You're characterizing this like it was just a bunch of Twitter armchair quarterbacks.

Which is was.... Plus 90%+ of the boots on the ground who voted no confidence in their leaders.

Only the most obstenate can cling to the belief they are a good leader/communicator with that statistic.

EDIT: There is a feeling that companies are full of unremarkable, out-of-touch, over-compensated leaders who ignore the opinions of their subordinates.

And yet when that situation actually materializes, or mostly materializes, you read opinions like this.
> it's enabled in switch statements by either `assertNever` in the `default` case, or by limiting your function return from within switch cases with the `strictNullChecks` option enabled.

What's wrong with using if statements?

```

if(shape.key === 'rectangle'){}

else if (shape.key === 'circle') {}

else {x: never = shape} // todo: use exhaustiveCheck(x: never)

```

That's pretty clear and easy.
Mine was around then too, mostly because the geocities page builder applet was such a dog.
Not exactly - perhaps if you only look at the public statements made by the CEOs.

If you look at how Meta spends money, they spend billions per year in moderation and brand-safety technology and people and processes.

Meanwhile, in the Twitter -> X transformation, these roles were all but eliminated.

And yes, one CEO says "it is important we get this right" and the other one says "fuck it all", then it's more "signaling priorities" than "virtue signaling".
The difference seems to be the top leadership.

Nadella is an all time great CEO. Pichai is an uninspired MBA-type.
The model is never the reality.

Well, we can relatively easily put a dollar value on human lives, too.

So any kind of waste that we can put a dollar value on, also has a value in human lives.

Make of that what you will.
This shouldn't be a surprise. Companies optimize for what benefits shareholders. Or if there's an agency conflict of interest, companies optimize for what benefits managements' career and bonuses (perhaps at the expense of shareholders). Companies pay lip service to external stakeholders, but really that's a ploy to reduce attention and the risk of regulation, there is no fundamental incentive to treat all stakeholders well.

If lying helps, which can happen if there aren't large legal costs or social repercussions on brand equity, or if the lie goes undetected, then they'll lie. This is what we necessarily get from the upstream incentives. Fortunately, lying in a marketing video is fairly low on the list of ethical violations that have happened in the recent past.

We've effectively got a governance alignment problem that we've been trying to solve with regulations, taxes and social norms. How can you structure guardrails in the form of an incentive system to align companies with ethical outcomes? That's the question and it's a difficult one. This question also applies to any form of human organization, including governments.

I didn't come up with it nor ask anyone to defend it. I asked a different question about usefulness, and about what it means to him for something to be "broken".

My point is that the attempt to critique it was a failure. It provided no critique.

It was incomplete at the very least -- it assigned it the label of broken, but didn't explain the implications of that. It didn't define at what level of failure it would need to be to valuable.

Additionally, I didn't indicate whether or not he would refuse to use it -- specifically because I didn't know, because he didn't say.

We all use broken tools built on a fragile foundation of imperfect precision.

Of course major institutions will always face these sorta problems.

However your comment seems to assume the FDA self-corrected. They faced a lot of external criticism and eventually partially capitulated. Even then they just restricted its listed audience.

> They appear to have systems and processes in place to help stop these kinds of dubious decisions

Except that it was external pressure that forced changes, not internal processes. The congressional report found that the FDA violated their own processes. Thankfully we still have a fairly transparent government and the incident was made public.

Though congress seems to have just given them a slap in the wrist. No officials were fired AFAICT, why wouldn't other FDA officials do the same in the future? Based on the parent article it might still be happening.
Propagation is the name of the game, and perhaps the ultimate measuring stick for "useful" and so use cases.
Because it would probably be overrun by the very opinionated.

This happens frequently with new political parties: Someone starts an organisation, it get some amount of traction. Suddenly a lot of new people join and turn the whole thing into a tool to spread their views.

AFD in Germany started like this, it almost happens to The Pirate Party, one can argue that Green Parties tend to suffer from this phenomenon.
You missed the per-capita examples of Israel and Singapore. If either had the population of Germany or even that of Spain, they'd have more unicorns than the entire EU.

It's not striking that the EU is as wealthy per-person as it is and has so few tech unicorns. It's also not striking for a region with hundreds of millions of people. What's striking is that despite being wealthy and populous, the region hasn't done too well with tech.

I'd say that it's even changed during my own lifetime. There was a time when German cars had a much larger market share and Nokia was a dominant phone company. Nokia failed the transition into the smartphone era and while German cars are still great, their market share in EVs is much, much smaller. And it's not like there's a lack of talent. Plenty of Europeans are building huge tech companies, but a large fraction are choosing to do so in the US or other similar markets, like Canada (e.g., Shopify).
I work next to a road in Amsterdam where cars are currently driving 50 and will have to drive 30.

My view is that the cars always have to wait at the traffic lights, because it is too busy with traffic. So essentially they speed up to 50 just to stop again moments later. Therefore I think the time difference will not be very big.

A higher voltage system enables the same energy at a lower amperage, so constrained to wanting to do a particular thing (loud stereo, bright headlights, ...), higher voltages result in lower amperages. I'll opt to not try to explain that intuitively, hoping that somebody else chimes in.

For the other half, "why do amps determine wire size?" Amps are coulombs per second -- how much electrical stuff moves through a cross section in a second. The amount of heat produced is directly proportional to amperage (every bit of movement has a chance to whack into something and produce heat, and more movement per second or more seconds generates more heat). Wire size is ultimately constrained by being able to release that heat while still acting like a wire (not melting, not sublimating, still conducting, not setting anything else on fire, ...). The amount of heat released is proportional to surface area (proportional to the square root of diameter, but that difference doesn't matter a ton right now), and the amount of heat produced is proportional to amperage and approximately nothing else. The point where those two terms are equal is the limit for the system (engineers add in huge safety factors to account for conduit and insulation and other imperfections), above which your wire melts and below which it behaves reasonably. Higher amperages require higher surface area to release the extra heat (so much higher thicknesses), so a given amount of power (stuff you want your electrical system to do) requires lower amps or thicker wires to work appropriately, because you can achieve the same power by increasing the voltage on the same amperage, thereby solving your power problems without extra heat.
Can’t wait for this one, I remember reading an article in which they say 90% of their copies were pirated. I hope they are able to fix this somehow.
The power loss by the resistance scales in the square of the current and linearly to the resistance. So doubling voltage reduces resistance power loss to one quarter so you could lower wire size and increase its resistance to double and still resistance power loss would be halved
> But probably companies should just be better about rewarding people for work within their current role rather than giving folks senior management titles and responsibilities merely for working on hit projects.

100% - frequently, my only path to giving someone a significant raise is via promotion. They may not want the next title, they may not want to manage, but I’ve often been constrained in being able to offer a better IC title, or to just pay a high performing Senior more.

It was a point of emphasis for me in my last search - commitment to, and belief in, IC tracks.
I think your latching onto an overly specific definition of composition. The core of composition vs. inheritance is how you add features to a things, and whether that mechanism is decoupled so you can bolt that feature to other things. A feature is a blob of code, as opposed to data, which is a blob of memory.

ECS means to add a feature, you write a new system. Its decoupled because you don't have to do anything to anything else in the program. Adding a system (feature/code) affects nothing. To bring it to life on a subset of entities, you add components, which are the data portion. It only affects the joint of those entities that have the component. So again, data can be dynamically added even at runtime without affecting anything else.

With inheritance. You need to add a subclass, and restart the program, losing all the data in the process, coz the code is coupled with the data (the definition of a class). This can be annoying for some types of program development.
It's not clear because it is false and I believe I can produce a proof if you are willing to validate that you accept my premise.

Your CPU, right now, has known defects. It will produce the wrong outputs for some inputs. It seems to meet your definition of broken.

Do you agree with that premise ?
Which is only not cheating if it was presented as not a program and a fellow project mate sending out an email.

In US colleges at least (only because that’s where I have personal experience…not because I believe standards are any higher or lower here), this is cheating if they led their professor to believe that it was indeed the raspberry pi sending out an email rather than someone at the back of the class.
The idea that primates get cavities less frequently than modern humans is a bit outdated and not terribly supported by recent studies. The main difference is in the location of the cavities, not frequency – apes tend to get cavities in their front teeth, humans tend to get cavities in the molars.
Unless you're accusing the commenter of lying, that seems exactly what happened.

Which doesn't surprise me. I've dropped case-less phones on concrete and asphalt many times with only minor scratching to the frame. But I've also seen people drop phones onto decent-pile carpets and break their screens. It's hard to predict what will happen.

I do think this is an interesting conversation, but would like to request that we remove loaded language like "screwing over" customers.

To me, the primary fact seems to be that Google lost some customers data. We can all agree on that - they should have kept it, but they didn't. They sold a product that, for some number of customers, was defective.

What is their ethical and financial culpability here? To me, if they did their best - if they have industry leading backup/replication technology (which I think they probably do), there really isn't much that CAN be done.

On the customer side - your data has been lost. What should you do in this situation?

My experience leads me to believe that some people, as upset as they are, understand that sometimes shit happens. The other set of these impacted customers do not accept/understand that - they want you to invent a time machine a reverse reality. Barring that, they want your first born plus 10%.

To me, it is perfectly acceptable to tell that second group of people something like this: "I am sorry this happened, despite our planning and efforts. It sucks. We cannot fix it. However, you are also a toxic customer - moving forward you should look to another company to fill those needs."

At the very least, firing those customers will help with your line-employees' quality of life. Yes, shit happens and it sucks - but there are a lot of assholes who only make a situation worse. No matter what you do, you will never make them happy, and trying to make them happy will have great cost.

Those "pathological" customers, I have no problem telling to pound sand.

So it's never OK to intentionally screw customers. But when bad things happen, are people looking for the best available resolution? If not, let them go be jagoffs somewhere else.

Google should definitely refund them some amount of money (both good and bad customers). For the pathological ones, it's a nice way of saying "it's worth paying you to go away".
So to be specific what you're skeptical of here is that S. mutans can outcompete other bacteria without its ability to generate acid If this engineered version can stay in the mouth it should be able to live in the exact same lesions the non mutated version can right? It should still have all the adaptations to live in a low pH environment. I guess this is an extraordinary claim so it's right to be more cautious than the internet usually is, but that also seems to be an easy thing to test for. You can swab someone's mouth who's taken this and see if they still have the mutated bacteria or if it's been out competed

The status game by Will Store, non fiction, heard about it on Sam Harris pod cast. Once I'd read it I started seeing status games everywhere.

Alcohol explained, this changed my mind on booze. Basic theory is that it gives you a mild high followed by anxiety that is relieved by having another drink. This plus the Huberman podcast episode on alcohol have resulted in me going from always boozing on weekends and finding it a struggle not to, to not having drunk in nearly 3 months.

Edit, honestly I've read other give you alcohol books and they don't even come close. This one just clicked. It has a sequel too.
This is one of the actual great use cases for Twitter, where 1) bite sized statements are easy to spread and be digested, and 2) can attract real-time contributions from other users (who the original author can then share), 3) can instantly spawn separate subthreads not far removed from the original discussion. (The tweet by Michelle St Claire about the song likely being specifically composed for shows inspired a whole different conversation about production music libraries.)

If this was posted on a blog it would be a whole series of posts or perhaps edits to the same otherwise static blog article.

I'd want to know a lot more about that antibiotic these bacteria produce. If there is no natural immunity it will be developed very shortly if doses produced are low (and how can they possibly control for the dose). Then on the other hand if doses are really high, what about consuming an antibiotic for the rest of your life? What will it do to your gut flora?

It seems very implausible to me.

If I was working for FDA and someone was trying to bring such an obviously flawed product to the market I too would've asked them for very robust testing.

You have a great opportunity and gift use it wisely. You are in a rare situation where there is no one who can replace you easily and they don't want you to do much real work.

If you don't respond to an on call alert until the next day.. what are they going to do, fire you?

The maintenance work overloading you. Push back.. a week becomes two. Drag things on.. then push to upgrade to speed things up (and get you back in your domain). They will refuse but ignore your longer schedule.

I'll give you an example. An issue with a single data centre can cause multiple AWS APIs in the region to fail across services (I've seen this several times).

At that point, if you're only in a single region, you're stuffed. Networking may be affected and you want to spin up in another region, but RDS APIs fail so you can't copy over your backups, for some reasons AMIs won't copy between regions and the R53 control plane APIs fail too, so even if you could bring up a replacement you can't update DNS anyway...

These can be planned for and mitigations put in place in advance, but that involves similar reasoning as might lead you to decide multi-cloud to be a safer option.

SSO is basically tablestakes for compliance: customers would ask about your access control (or just if you have _that_ audit report, which has a lot of questions about it).
