Chevron was controversial at the time it was introduced as well. The notion that courts weren’t the ultimate arbiters of what legal rules actually mean, but that judges have to defer to the legal interpretations of an executive branch agency, was not uncontroversial. It wasn’t entirely novel—some idea that agencies should get some sort of deference has been percolating around since basically the advent of the administrative state. And frankly, getting rid of Chevron won’t really end the debate either.

Ultimately, there’s two different strands to the issue. On one hand, it makes no sense to say that administrative agencies (who aren’t even necessarily staffed by lawyers) should get deference on interpretative questions regarding things like agency jurisdiction. Chevron says agencies get deference in determining their own jurisdiction and that’s batty. On the other hand, there’s an attractive principle in there that where Congress makes these highly technical statutes making trade offs about particular matter controls the agency should have discretion in figuring out how to implement those directives.

> “Late Capitalism" is just polisci brain-damage.

I dislike that term, but do think post-war optimization of management and finance have built toward… something, which we are now in, which is different from how things were earlier in this process (50s, 60s, at least part of the 70s) and certainly different from pre-war American capitalism.

Calling it “late” seems silly though.
When data leak occurs, nobody's going to brute force random passwords. They'll use dictionary attacks. Using SHA-256 is strange. Some websites store clear text passwords. Some websites store bcrypt hashes. Why do you focus on SHA-256? Is there some kind of statistics that this particular kind of hash is common among hacked websites?

I agree that it depends on attack scenario. My scenario is: I expect website owners to find out about attack in a timely manner and disable all compromised accounts. Of course I won't reuse single password across different websites. Also I feel that most important websites nowadays require SMS or E-mail factor when logging in from another device, so this further decreases requirements for strong password.

And, of course, I don't expect to be targeted by government. They'll just hit my head with wrench until I unlock my iPhone, that would be cheapest attack on me, independent on password length.
I know ads are their behemoth, but aren’t some of the other groups you listed large enough to be considered huge companies in their own right? You always hear about products getting shut down at google because they “only” make $100M a year in profit or whatever. They may not be as successful as ads, but they sure are successful.

(… at least until they get shut down for not being as successful as ads)

Cloud Wars CEO Outlook 2024 with Oracle CEO Safra Catz
I once designed a custom PCB that fits inside the original NES four score case.
You can connect 4 NES controllers to it and the inputs were sent to a Raspberry Pi via UDP (so no wire between couch table and TV was needed).

I think my PCB had more parts for its simple power supply than all 4 NES controllers combined.

These things are an absolute masterpiece of simplicity!

It's kind of a no-brainer, especially if I can sell it for a reasonable amount when the new one comes out. I don't think I've ever sold an Apple product for less than half of what I paid for it. Most of them actually resell really well. I wonder if this will be the same.

Be careful when using StreetComplete. It's by far the most user-friendly OSM editor out there, but it bundles edits together in one big changeset. I didn't know that, so I used it on occasion to fill in information about places I was visiting, and right after to fill in information about places far away that I know intimately (where I live). This created a very geographically large changeset which got reviewers to shout at me multiple times about it (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset#Geographical_s...).

Rather infamously, NYC's Office of Emergency Management was located in 7 WTC, and had critical communications facilities (broadcast tower) atop 1 WTC:

Since 1999, New York City’s Office of Emergency Management, charged with coordinating all aspects of the response, had occupied permanent headquarters in Seven World Trade Center, on Greenwich Street, just north of the landmark twin towers. A vital communications link was the radio repeater system based on the ground floor of One World Trade Center, the north tower. The loss of those facilities – and key personnel working there – significantly hampered the response.

<https://theconversation.com/disaster-communications-lessons-...>

<https://www.computerworld.com/article/2510996/9-11--top-less...>

I seem to recall an instance (I thought it was the NYC OEM, may have been another) in which both primary and secondary data archives were both within the WTC complex. Best practices now are to locate secondary / backup services at least 100--200 km from the primary. Preferably within different watersheds, seismic regions, etc.

Widespread disasters are comparatively rare, but can affect considerable areas, and locations sufficiently proximate might well be affected.
Hum... Seeing people as disposable is a quite reasonable definition for that word.

How much of the ability to have the company culture like the early Google is being described in the article is due to the ability not to worry too much about growth, competition and margins? If your business is growing 30-100% YoY with high margins, you can afford to throw money around and spin all the narratives you want. Some companies who are lucky to be in that position still don't choose to prioritize employees but it is not a tough decision.

Now Google is coming close to the ceiling of its ads market expansion, which fueled growth for 2 decades. Hard to maintain 20+% YoY growth, so the range of possible options and narratives is shrinking.

Can one sustain the same perks and culture narratives when their budget is suddenly cut by 20+%? That's the reality most companies face often but Google didn't have to worry about for a long time.

Why would you assume that France has a diversity of apples? (they may--but I wouldn't automatically expect it)

Johnny Appleseed is American. The US has a huge diversity of apple trees based on locality.

However, like so many things, said diversity is seasonal. There is a good reason for pressing apple cider--you need to do something with the enormous number of apples you couldn't eat directly.

If you want apples out of season, you're only going to see the mass-manufactured ones.

No, I was fully aware of what I was doing. I was not in a fugue state. I was in complete control of all of my faculties. It was an example of taking two things totally unrelated and smashing them together to make a pointless point. The subtlety might have been lost on you, but it does not have any bearing on whether I was cognizant of my actions.
Yeah, and that's wrong. But you were arguing that if some Egyptians did that themselves. Or Syrians (which means mostly ISIS). And that's the part I disagree with.

No, they will just cut off security updates. They will then steadily make subtle changes to the OS to ensure new software won't ever run on your old machine. Then the day comes when whatever new tool you need to do your job just will not run on your old machine. Then you dump it and blame yourself for the waste.

Personally I think women are people.
Seriously, source please?
Not necessarily. Unless otherwise asked, I, like the vast vast majority of people, classify others as men or women or non-binary based on their presentation, because it's the only thing I have access to. If someone wears masculine clothes, and masculine style, and has a masculine name, and I knew nothing else about them, I would obviously say he is a man. If I later find out he was born female, I wouldn't suddenly start thinking he is a woman.

On the other hand, if someone dresses and styles themselves in a typically feminine way but tells me they use masculine pronouns, I will of course by reasons of politeness call them by their preferred pronouns, but privately I would find it hard not to consider her a woman who prefers masculine pronouns.
Yup. There's a preference to show percentage rather than theoretical range. The latter is much more useful IMO, but percentage should probably be the default because theoretical range is misleading until you understand it.

Nope thats what sharepoint365 and teams(which does include an file store in it;s channel feature) comes into play but the back end and api's are essentially the same as for one drive.

MS have done a good job of tying everything into a big entangled system where it's hard to disentangle any of the "on prem" products like windows and office offline from the cloud backend used by office365, and a lot of this is introduced gradually with standard(often security critical) updates it gets used without a lot of policy.

You can backup the office365 data elsewhere(were using aws s3 buckets for office365 backups where i work) but that's not cheap nor particularly easy to do and the need to do so is often overlooked when the contract for o365 is signed.
I've been frequently fascinated by is loading screen UX. How we choose to present loading can have a huge impact on how a customer views a product. For example, if you have a bespoke loading icon, users will tend to think the issue with with your product and not the underlying system. If you use a default system loading icon, they'll blame their phone/OS/wifi.

These days, cutting edge loading UX means placeholders: https://uxdesign.cc/stop-using-a-loading-spinner-theres-some...

SEO eventually led to the proliferation of link farms, machine-generated blogspam, and recipe sites that read like essays with FAQs. So it did cause perverse standardization of web content to some extent.

But agreed that it didn’t close the web into isolated portals like Facebook, which was in opposition to indexing and the business they were building.

I would say Google has been bad at handling results from semi-open spammy walled gardens though, like Pinterest, Quora, and Reddit. Maybe even Stack Overflow.
When I was a kid in south Georgia there was a year where two other cicada broods lined up.

It sounded like there was a racetrack just over the hill, but in every direction.

For us this isn't a big deal though because we're writing our software so it should be able to function as expected on a DB with a newer schema. This makes upgrades much easier to handle has users can run new and old software side-by-side.

More of the same. Have you never once for a moment thought 'Huh, surely they wouldn't have given a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for something as basic as "CFCs speed up this reaction," maybe there's something to this atmospheric ozone thing' ?

Do you think the Nobel Prize Committee (Chemistry) was bamboozled by "the media", or do you think they were in on it? Are there any other Chemistry prizes in the last few decades that you would put in the same category

Those are good points (darn, actual expertise trumps the musing of an amateur yet again),* in particular the migration of a group potentially alien to what became a linguistically and perhaps culturally dominant group by the time we had written records.

I still remain uncomfortable with the stability of Etruscan over that long period, though the whole point of the article — that there was adequate stability in Greek over that same span — rather makes this feeling rather silly.

Its interesting that Google always staked itself on "being google-y" and now that its lost that its not clear what value prop it has to new hires beyond brand name and high pay.

And what about, something like, say, the measles vaccine? Before the vaccine, everyone caught measles and 1 in a thousand died from it; after the vaccine, almost nobody catches measles, but 1 in a million die from reactions to the vaccine. I guess not approving the vaccine means the FDA director has to kill 1000 puppies, and approving the vaccine means the FDA director only has to kill one?
The combination of a 17th century poet and far future sci-fi is, at first, rather absurd. But the simple and deep connection to topics on love and humanity, something only poetry can provide, is a a beautiful complement to fantastic and terrifying sci-fi concepts in Hyperion. Empathy, love and human connection are the underlying message of the books despite the fun sci-fi facade. I love this series and recommend it to all.

I couldn’t make it through this long article but loved reading about Severn, Fanny Brawne, and Keats— all beloved characters from the hyperion series.

It's kind of a fun old wives tale that is humorous, but not really a thing in practice.

Some of the biggest challenges military pilots face transitioning to the airlines are that the vast majority of them worked far more independently in their roles in the military. So cockpit resource management for a lot of them is a huge challenge. Airline pilots also are responsible for a lot more "working with the masses" type work.

About 30% of married mothers don’t work outside the home, according to BLS statistics [1]. You may want to consider the possibility that the sample of people you know is very unrepresentative.

> The modern marriage has the home workload split equally and very often outsourced.

In “egalitarian” marriages where the husband and wife earn about the same amount of money, wives on average spend more than twice as much time on household chores and 40% more time on caregiving, according to Pew [2].

He suggests that the civil disobedience is required and speaks about how is the problem created by the megamachine composed of the state and capitalism and how the media is unfortunately just bought by the status quo to justify it's rule and it's framework of extraction that is responsible for the current 6th mass extinction that we are in.

Not really. Total transparency requires effective communication. Effective communication requires a shared context* to be efficient. The larger the organization, the less shared context, the more overhead is spent catching people up on things they are not involved in.

*By shared context, I mean there is certain background knowledge and assumptions that all parties involved have. Since they already have this context, they don't have to explain any of this and can skip ahead. Compare a theoretical physicist explaining their work to other physicists (lots of shared context) to them explaining it to a reporter (little shared context) -- in the second case it takes a lot more work to convey the same information.
> There are tons of needs for trucks over long distances.

Is there? Logistics aside, it is more sensible to put the load that 3-ton is carrying on a highway tractor/train/boat along with other things going over the same long haul. If your only load is people, you most certainly don't need a 3-ton truck. A car, hell even a light truck, will carry them just as well, if not better.

Where logistical problem aren't solved, other 3-ton trucks are actually designed for hauling, not just glorified pickup trucks. If you truly have a niche need for a 3-ton for long-haul transport, the Cybertruck isn't going to be your choice anyway, regardless of range.
