Red badges and the equivalent elsewhere make up an astounding amount of who actually works at most major companies. They’re the poor and working class to the gentry (FTEs) and the elites (FTE executives).

They’re paid 50% of what their contracting agency is paid for them, they have poor benefits if at all and live in a constant consciousness about who is higher class than them. They attend different Christmas parties, for goodness sake.
I got help. Not when I was 18 when I needed it (could not finish my education), or at the very least nothing of substance but with a severe lack of empathy. As an adult, as part of my autism diagnosis was therapy understanding autism. That was fascinating, it helped me a lot. I also followed an adult education aimed at people with autism. It didn't fully align with my interests so I had to find something related to that within the job market. I ended up with a job within that field, with 3 one year contracts. Because I already was deemed 100% unemployed the org got benefits for contracting me. Unfortunately, my neighbors complained about our kids noise and even accused me of being a child predator/rapist. The former (regarding the noise) being truth though something we do try to minimize and the latter BS but also my worst nightmare before becoming a parent. I ended up with a burnout (and on the brink of a psychosis) and slowly got back to working full-time. I reported myself 75% better, but unfortunately my contract didn't get renewed (that sword of Damocles was apparent back when I got the burnout, so it was of little surprise).

The day I got unemployed I had to report to the government employment agency, and the above was basically not believed. I feel misunderstood. I already mentioned the story truthful though omitting some personal details, so I'd like to add the art of cooking a dinner as well as programming are some of the most awesome things one can perform, in my opinion. But because of the endless possibilities and the many small steps I can only perform very simple, basic, archaic instruction sets.

If you look at trends Late capitalism must be when markets became increasingly top heavy with ever escalating layers of state intervention favouring mega corps and entrenched players. Which resulted in things like the housing supply crisis or the destruction of small banks, where the banking market was reduced to 5 megabanks because after every market fluctuation new rules get added which only megabanks can afford (and these rules keep coming and coming https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/18/business/banks-capital-ba...). There's a ton of other examples in pharma, retail, farming, etc.

After the next few media cycles of AI doomerism and fear mongering we're probably going to see the same thing with AI where any minor risk is intolerable to gov technocrats so they'll make controls where only some megacorp like OpenAI or Google, who has friends and lawyers in the right places, gets to operate with a green light and small players will need to hire a team of lawyers and developers to enforce an ever growing list of controls.
I read somewhere that Google had to increase all it's perks just to increase expenses so as to balance out some small revenue %. Their early growth was that insane. No company has such luxury today. The barriers to entry almost everywhere is levelled. No company will have the profit head start that Google had, at least not in tech.

The issue is that the average skill level for programmers is so low that if you have someone with genuine skill you want them guiding the rest.

I just watched a developer get promoted to tech lead for no other reason than his output was literally 4x everyone else on his team. He's either going to continue doing what he's doing now and continue running circles around everyone or he's going to actually attempt to improve them and his own productivity is going to plumet.

I don't want to take away from this developers skill, he's a very competent developer, but he's not a diamond in the rough, everyone around him is just that fucking bad. We're talking "lets send this list into an API via json as a comma delimited list instead of a JSON array and manually split it out in the code" levels of bad.

Before experiencing this I never fully understood why people treat developers the way they do. You can't trust these jackasses for shit and what makes it worse is that everyone has gotten so used to their slow output that they think it's normal and that this 4x developer is a phenom.

you really could probably replace these jackasses with a single strong developer and AI, and it's no wonder people are so excited to do so.

good developers will always be valued, the issue is that when tech became a popular career we got a glut of shit.

My grandfather showed me a picture from 1930. It showed "couples", meaning teenagers making out in the grass on the side of the road, there was a sort of slope going to a river. It also showed a girl being pushed down ...

This is nothing new, and we all know that harassment of all kinds happens most often at schools. It has been like that for at least a century and hasn't improved.

Steve Jobs wasn't perfect but he was a visionary. He didn't see Apple Music a subscription-based music service going off he'd rather they paid for songs in iTunes.

In the mid-90s, I worked for a small consulting firm that was looking to rent some office space. We were given a tour of an amazing space on the top floor of a rather sizable skyscraper. We were told that it had been occupied by a federal contractor and that it was TEMPEST secure. Most of the tour involved regaling us with stories of how it was set up around this idea of security.

I had not been aware of TEMPEST security before, and so they explained the basics of EMF snooping and the countermeasures employed in the design of this place. They also led us into rooms where people worked on designs, and they explained that every chalkboard had a curtain that could be drawn for privacy, and every such room had a guard stationed with M16 who could just shoot any intruder.

To this day, I have no idea if any of those stories were based in truth, or embellished; after all, their goal was to have us rent it out. We ended up passing and found much more humble digs to work from (we weren't working on anything so secure that we needed TEMPEST-proof architecture) but the visit has stood out in my memory as an amazing relic of the Cold War.

Well drug testing for employment usually will be similar to a field test in the first stage, but at failure will then get sent to a lab for proper analysis (at least in my experience).

What's your evidence that the murder was premeditated though? As far as we know he didn't even look into how to cover it up until afterwards.

All the known facts are congurent with someone who acted in the heat of the moment and then tried to get the best result for himself considering the very bad situation he got himself in. Trying to cover up the act and mislead the court is certainly not very ethical but it is a far cry from the murder itself being premeditated.

Meme words attract other meme words. On average people's brains tend to operate on simple reductive trends, things get grouped with over simplified patterns. You can fight it but they'll just express the same ideas in double speak if you make it a no no phrase. I wouldn't use it personally but like what OP is saying, it used to he "neoliberal" then that became boring/overused so they invented "late stage capitalism" as the new bucket to throw every criticism of modern economics into. Likewise with "cultural Marxism" for popular social justice trends.

There will be a new phrase for these same groupings that we'll all get upset about in a few years once these get fully played and become taboo.

- Etruscan is not considered an Indo European language

- Etruscan is part of a larger family of languages: the Tyrsenian. Other members are the Raetic language, which was spoken in North Italy, Switzerland and parts of Austria. And also Lemnian, which was spoken in some parts of the Aegean sea.
Orthic has a much greater economy of strokes, so it's as much about convenience as it is about speed. That is, you can write quite quickly without actually rushing.

It also does not take long to learn because many of the consonants are simplified versions of ordinary letters (such as 'C', 'G', 'b', 'n', 'm' and so on), whereas the vowels are just lines.

And so I don't think your recommended strategy would pay off.

What they choose to investigate is itself revealing. CDNs and large hosting providers for example would be in a position to make inferences by observing and correlating traffic from that origin. I would be trying to obfuscate it using a VPN distributed over a range of countries and IP addresses. That could appear strange to a host, depending on how they implement it.

This is something that Singapore seems to do quite well. Many blocks of flats have shared outdoor facilities like a bbq, childrens playground, pool, etc. I've never lived there but have friends who do and when I visit we'll have a bbq.

I live in the UK. The housing here is notoriously poor quality, even (or sometimes especially) new build blocks of flats. And even in the expensive places I'm not sure they offer this.

I’m more curious how the journal suggestions API will play out and change our relationship with third party apps.
Exactly. It is in companies' best interest to keep the device support as short as possible as a way of planned obsolescence, so they can somehow convince consumers (especially the rich western ones) they need a new phone every year (or two). In truth, for the majority of the users, a flagship should last for at least 5. It's not like what we do on phones get computationally more expensive, except the bloat and lack of optimization (both the OS and apps, due to unnecessarily fast processors).

At least in my car, it's not a problem. You can use one-pedal driving most of the time but the regenerative brakes aren't nearly as strong as the mechanical brakes so the mechanical brakes are still used. If for example you're coming up on traffic lights and they turn yellow, you won't be able to stop quickly enough with the regenerative brakes but you will with the mechanical brakes. Through little things like this you quickly build muscle memory for the mechanical brakes.

Who benefits from an autism diagnosis, and what are those benefits?
Did you not bother to watch the video? It is pretty much all Steven Bonta talking about some ideas about a limited interpretation of some symbols. All of his logic is explained. There is very little history there except for reference to Harappan sites where seals were found.

Attempts to comprehend lost scripts such as Linear B, Mayan script, and Harappan seals all use similar techniques. Do you have some alternative or are you insisting that these attempts to decipher ancient scripts are fundamentally flawed?

I would disagree with that to an extent for the distribution below "I excluded the 20 most repetitive songs in the dataset from the above chart. When you see what it looks like with them, you'll understand why". I had both distributions on screen so I could compare them, and was staring at them for a good while thinking I was missing something obvious. The animation that actually revealed the difference didn't start until I'd given up and scrolled the diagram most of the way off the screen. Had I scrolled a little faster to the next section (or possibly used page down/space), I would have missed the animation entirely.

Age of Invention: Unsung Materials
Did you watch the video, though? New arguments are presented and there is quite a bit of qualifying language about how these results apply only to a small subset. That is, there is no claim here to have deciphered the script, only small parts of it using more robust logic than has been used before. This is common phenomenon in deciphering ancient scripts.

Wow, I thought you are being metaphorical, but turns out it's literally true.

Anyway - I'm not a believer in utilitarianism, but don't think attacking works of the founder of the movement really forms that strong of an argument. I'd say utilitarianism is a project of founding a rationalist ethics (note, one of a bunch of possible ones) that happens to fail in having a strong logical structure without generating ridiculous consequences. It tries to handwave it, patch itself with some ad hoc additions and act like it's a quasi-scientific thing.

should, but isn't.

what happens instead is they'll collect enough urine for multiple samples, but that's not the point.

The point is that the false positive rate is far below 4% and even they take precautions and the negative outcome of a false positive on a drug test is _far_ less catastrophic than getting arrested.

The real point here is that 4% is unacceptable and the only reason you, and others, would ever think it's acceptable is because you don't imagine yourself at risk.
Wow thanks for clarifying. Heavy user of app passwords here.
