Lovely new little wrench in everyone's plans.

Plus many companies hired going into Covid, thinking online was the "new normal". They're returning to a healthier headcount now.

Plus they probably let go those underperforming certain metrics or backing unproductive initiatives. Though that should have no bearing on hiring, it will.

Plus it's no longer ZIRP.

That's a lot of hiring headwind.
Its funny because I have the opposite problem. A lot (A LOT) of anarchist writing presupposes a very strong government, but that government gets a pass as not being "The State" because its super nice and gives you bread.
That's quite a leap, but still - even if they are CCP supporters, that doesn't automatically make them CCP members.

Your little barley plant, hordeum pussilum, reminds me of a grassy plant that grew all over Central Texas when I was a kid. We like to play with the seed heads. You can make them walk up your arms if you press your forearms together, lay the seed head in the center and then move your arms back and forth (towards and away from) your body. The spikes on the seed heads cause it to walk along your arms. It's a fun thing to show little kids. I have a similar plant growing on my place here in N Texas now and I demonstrated this to my kids when they were young and more impressionable.
I'm not sure why you find it surprising. School exists in part to provide lower socioeconomic demographics with a part-time stable environment for their children.

Also, workers are paid during that time, whereas children, particularly of younger age, can't really be expected to maintain concentration for 7+ hours in a physically isolated environment with no other children, or a teacher watching.

YouTube also asked me if I wanted to unlink my YouTube account from other Google services. I can change this setting at https://myactivity.google.com/linked-services and it says:

> As of March 6, 2024, new laws in Europe will require Google to get your consent to link certain services if you want them to continue to share data with each other and other Google services as they do today. For example, linked Google services might work together to help personalize your content and ads, depending on your settings.

You're making a metaphysical claim here, good luck proving it

Someone mentions religion and you come along and decide to attack it with the same cliche. Why?
When I decided that I didn’t want to be normal. I didn’t do it intentionally. I didn’t wake up one day declaring, “I’m an idiot surrounded by other idiots!”

No, I started with identifying behaviors that were corrupting my life and then made a conscious decision to replace them with alternative activities. Activities that were meant to contribute to my life progression, instead of persisting in current endeavors that have confined me in a wretched abyss of mediocrity.

Oh, boy! An idiot among idiots? “corrupting” your life? Life progression? “Wretched abyss of mediocrity”?

I’m sorry to break it to you, but while you might have moved from “statistical normality”, you have become a linkedin meme, which is, in fact, the pinnacle of normal.

Long life to the struggles of the soul and the search of the heart. Beware of those who claim to have found a solution for the human condition based on such vain things as fitness, money or turning off the tv.

Even just as a cheap way of approximating LRU the k-random algorithm is quite nice.

Honestly I think LRU doesn't get enough recognition for being provably only a fixed factor away from what an optimal algorithm could do with less memory [1]. In fact LRU does about as well as an online algorithm can do, without knowing up front which memory is about to be accessed (basically you can do statistical analysis, but this means other patterns must perform worse). My take from it is that more memory beats clever algorithms.

The paper is interesting by the way, I think it's one of the first to use potentials to prove amortized optimality, and it actually generalizes a bit further showing that 'move-to-front' is similarly close to optimal if the cost function of accessing an item increases with some convex function.

Regarding the actions that required FaceID/TouchID once the protections are enabled, what happens if the biometric authentication fails? Sometimes I can't unlock my phone with FaceID, and I have to resort to using my passcode after three attempts. Will it now allow unlimited attempts in the specific scenario covered by the new feature?

(I realise this means I can still get into my phone, just that I might not be able to access certain features - e.g. change passwords - if I'm not at one of my usual locations).
I wonder how hard it would be to wait 4-6 months and then attempt to get rehired at Riot again. It seems unlikely that they will be on a total hiring freeze for over 6 months.
It can help if there are simply not enough workers available and it's used to boost productivity of the existing workers.

through in most cases it probably will still not work/help society

I.e. from what I heard public defendants in the US are notoriously overworked, if an AI could help them auto prepare all the simple straight forward cases they could do a better job. But then this is also a good example for why it probably still will not work out well. As no one will pay for that tool or they will pay for it but then expect so many more cases to be handled that it might get worse instead of better.

I've always been curious if you offer a service for profit, but don't want to adhere to EU laws (obviously just avoiding EU customers at all). Is it enough to block EU country IP addresses so that Interpol doesn't get the Feds to kick in your door and turn you over to them for prosecution or freeze all your bank accounts for not sticking to the many Internet laws that you might not be familiar with? Is anyone aware of how to deal with fire walling off countries where you don't want to deal with the legalese?

There are a multitude of banks (and Fintechs that offer accounts through bank partners) that have no overdraft fees. Many of these organizations don't care about ChexSystems/credit reports because they don't allow overdrafts to begin with and don't allow writing checks so you can't overdraw they account.

I am struggling to see a scenario where anyone in America doesn't have a bank account today out side of 1) They just don't want one. 2) The relatively rare, but devastating case of getting caught up in some overbearing AML/Government regulation that makes banks not want to open an account for you. 3) Lack of knowledge about what is available. 4) Maybe some one who has no smartphone, as many of these organizations require some kind of device to interface with them, as they don't have many physical branches... but cheap Android smartphones are readily available to most Americans...
Aha, I was about to chew the article out for not mentioning rye, but the linked paper has it :) Rye briefly shows up in the Fertile Crescent at the start of the Neolithic, and then vanishes for several centuries before reappearing in Bronze Age Central Europe. The theory AIUI - Neolithic people tried domesticating it for a few decades and decided it sucked, and it only survived as a "volunteer" (a weed!) until Europeans rediscovered it some centuries later and gave rye growing a second chance.
I don't think the more general US attitude of the public towards private, non-govt entities is very critical (absent any scandal/ coverup/ bribery). Here's the obvious counterexample which I didn't even think was necessary to include in my previous post:

if SpaceX has quite a lot of (unmanned) launch failures that cost them (or their insurers) a lot and set back their plans for demonstrating manned launch, the general public don't care and think that's overall a net positive and cost of SpaceX making progress on its plan (as long as the debris lands at sea and doesn't cause injuries or significant pollution). If SpaceX did too much of this, it would collapse, lose its launch contracts and its investors would lose their money. Compare to Facebook/Meta's failed Connectivity division [0], Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, et al.

I would still assume that with apps like Snapchat, there are inherent problems on meta-level (from an E2EE view) because for the users, Snapchat is essentially a trusted third party, providing governance/management features. But it can well be that Snapchat does not provide E2EE; I cannot see any remarks about it on their webpage.

However, on the WhatsApp webpage, you can find the E2EE hand-waving that I was alluding to: https://faq.whatsapp.com/820124435853543

"WhatsApp _considers_ chats with businesses that use the WhatsApp Business app or manage and store customer messages themselves to be end-to-end encrypted."

And later, they write that in many cases, Meta can actually read the messages.
Sure, if you set your own goalposts for the argument, you get to win any way you want.

>"I'd argue the opposite: more computers have an end-user accessible JavaScript engine (a browser) than an end-user accessible shell."

So let's use a specific goalpost and frame "a computer" as a desktop personal computer.

Today, there are no mainstream personal computers sold that don't come with both a user accessible shell and a web browser. Even Chromebooks have a shell. Just because a user doesn't have a clue how to use it doesn't mean it's not there.

Oh, did you mean to include phones in this pointless internet argument? Because that's an entirely different goalpost, and if you want to include phones then you should also include routers, IoT and embedded devices as "computers", says me.
That's not overstated. Your anecdote itself illustrates the steps and turnaround time one has to take to cancel.

This. I went down this path to solve the 2 monitor issue, and ended up finding the ultrawide monitor (with Magnet[1]) a much better experience.

For what it's worth, using the built-in HDMI port on the M1 Macbook Pro and either:

* a cheap USB-C to HDMI adapter

* a cheap USB-C to (Mini-)Display port adapter

will allow you to drive two monitors and the laptop panel simultaneously. I have no problem driving the Ultrawide at 3440x1440@100Hz via HDMI and/or Displayport, though without the convenience of USB-C/Thunderbolt.

The vast majority of people I encounter with some "engineering" title, in software (or the related "Architect") are in fact not trained as engineers or architects, in any field.

A site reliability "engineer" or a software "engineer" is not an actual engineer just because they've got that in their title or job description. If I were to hire a "chemical engineer" position and instead hired a chemist, or a mechanic, or a rando who's cooked meth, I may end up with things working okay, or I might end up with a serious mess, even if those people I hire call themselves "engineers" (but in fact have no formal training as such).

I'm not sure to what degree credentials matter, but do credentials matter more than "not a god damned bit" ?

I'm not saying the title makes you "not an idiot" -- people gonna people -- but attention to "cost" and "risk" is (theoretically) one of the distinguishing characteristics of engineering training vs ... "mather" or "programmer" or "philosopher".

Yikes. I would not allow admins to change customer data in production by spoofing the user’s identity. There are too many ways for that to go wrong. Instead, copy the user data into a test environment and mess around with it there as much as you want.
Part of the problem with that is the lions' share of fees go towards managing a lot of fraud and contested payments. So it's one thing to build a payment infrastructure, but if you don't actively manage it to protect users then it's going to be a massive cesspool of abuse.

As long as businesses can pass along the cost of disposal to customers or elsewhere, they have every incentive to fight repairs.

Maybe forcing buy-back of broken products at a significant fraction of the original price? Though that'd incentivize "home appliances as a service" or fly-by-night businesses.

Without knowing more about the market, I suspect that - other than at SpaceX - commercial customers don't pay list price.

It's pretty well known nobody pays anywhere close to list price for airplanes from Boeing and Airbus. I've heard discounts as much as 40-50% for planes but the actual numbers are pretty closely guarded. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if this were happening in the launch business.

I'm probably not an "actual business person" though, for whatever definition you're using :)

From the public info at least, this is one of the better examples of how to handle layoffs: generous severance, an apology that sounds sincere, a reasonable amount of info, etc.

I don't think that's particularly surprising to anyone. This is such an unproven platform, and no one is really risking market share or revenue by taking a "wait and see" approach to launching an app for a $3,500 device that will have extremely limited distribution to start.

What _is_ very disappointing here is that Apple hasn't invested much effort in making novel first-party apps for the Vision Pro. They should have seen this circumstance coming and been prepared with some creative powerhouse demonstrations of the power of the platform.

The most frustrating example to me is Maps. It looks to me like the Maps app for Vision Pro is literally the same as the iPad version - meaning, if you view a city or satellite photo in "3D" in Maps on Vision Pro, it will render a 3D projection onto a flat 2D "window" in AR space. What a huge missed opportunity for Apple to build an amazing experience.

Instead we get a bunch of dull productivity apps, and then "Experience Dinosaurs". With all of Apple's money, resources and creativity, it's pretty astonishing they didn't spin up 10 teams of 5 engineers each to build some other novel capabilities to ship on day 1.
