EDIT: Okay, I did some clicking around and yes, it seems like this guy has had more than a passing interest in con-artistry. If anyone reading this can't get past that, I highly recommend reading some books or listening to podcasts on negotiation in general. It's a great skill to learn.

----

I can't comment on the other posts as I haven't read them, but I thought the negotiation ones were rather good overall. They line up with very well with other content I have read/watched/listened to from professional negotiators. I know these articles highlighted several things I have personally done wrong in past job offer negotiations.

It is important to note that most of this advice is mostly only applicable to white-collar seasoned professionals who are in the middle or later stages of their career. Essentially, people who have the luxury of taking their time to delay the hiring process as much as they can in order to maximize the number of concurrent offers.

If you are young and/or just getting started and are hungry to start your career, or were laid off and have been unemployed for 6-12 months with a dwindling emergency fund, you may have to take the first sensible offer you get. Especially if the job market is tough (like it is right now) or if you need that paycheck to keep a roof over your head. You can (and should!) always work on leveling up your career as you go along. Other, better opportunities WILL come along if you are properly tending to your skills and social network.
I always back up the codes for the Google Auth stuff. They are just strings like VN3WBOTLQZUDFIWG You can put them in a doc / email them to yourself / whatever.
Yeah, I agree that's a bug and it's good to have a fix for it.
I cant fathom what it would be like to just turn a profit of 10 million on one trade. I mean, you could just give 10% to everyone you care about and their lives would be changed forever.

Yeah I know some of you reading this will have much more, but I personally, can't fathom doing it just once, imagine, just for a days work.
Not to mention the comic is pretty good as well!

I for one would like to see the satellites modified with a heat shield so they could punch through and hit a designated deorbit zone. I would even offer my backyard, but I fear it's too small.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate tourist attraction? "Witness the next deorbit round tomorrow at Crater Park Observatory!"
That it is true or not is irrelevant.

Fact is that it will a endless quarrel between scientists, until enough time has passed, where it is either:

* too late as the problem was real

Servo was always intended as a way to proof certain technologies without the restrictions of a full browser engine like Gecko, so they could integrate them into Firefox/Gecko later if they panned out. They did and things got integrated into Firefox with https://wiki.mozilla.org/Quantum.

Then Mozilla had a sustainability crisis and - imho unwisely - decided that one of the things that they could do without in the future was the Servo team.

Without funding Servo effectively was put into sleep mode since people need to eat. Then it got donated to the Linux foundation and got new funding and progress has started again.
Paid users only would probably push it in the right direction. It is unfortunate that the internet has moved into everything is advertising as a business model. I get the appeal but cognitively paying so I can keep my attention seems like a way better model.
I don’t ever recall being banned from anything anywhere. Although I’ve heard how some subs ban you if you’re part of some other specific sub, and that’s weird.

That being said, I don’t get the logic of wanting to be part of a community that actively doesn’t want you. If I’d get banned from anywhere, I’d just move on. But I am still 100% supportive of banning as some people have genuinely ruined previously fun communities.
If you go to r/scams or r/scambait you can see their full script. It's sometimes funny, but apparently a lot of these scammers are being held literally captive in a foreign country, and apparently some of them have had their kidney taken. They are held until they manage to recover their "ransom" amount through these scams.

They don't straight up call for the extermination. Lol. The whole text is about abolishing protections granted by gender identity in a law and practice. It is based on the presumption there no such thing as gender identity, as recognized by the UN, most of the medical and psychology community, and advocates for manifestation of their own ideology - therefore implicitly abolishing transgender people legally, and effectively by restricting medical care and access existential resources.

"I believe that nuclear weapons, terrible as they are, bring about peace to a certain extent, as long as rational actors are involved. Nobody wants to die in a fiery ball of plasma."

Yeah, "as long as rational actors are involved". But people do go crazy. Like the pilot who decided to do suicide and take the whole plane with them. And some mad dictator, who developes late stage cancer and feels like he has nothing left to loose and feels betrayed by everyone also might say, fuck it.
Then there are religious nuts, who hide their fanatism, till they are in control. The world was already close to someone pushing the button too many times, but yes prevented by some rational actors, but I do not see, how we can take it for granted, that it always stays like it.

Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, given enough time.
Servo is a waste of time. If we want a fast rendering engine, Mozilla already has it.

If we want a secure rendering engine we could leverage code checks.

It's all there. The meme of Rust equals safety (or C equals I safety) has to go away.

Anyone using the term "mainstream media" as if there is some global unified cabal telling people lies can be discounted out of hand. "Mainstream media" constitutes many places that do accurate reporting. Very few if any sources not in the mainstream come anywhere close to being accurate - nearly all of them exist to get clicks selling conspiracies to disgruntled people.

The fact is nearly all media had the same conclusion as it happened - left, right, unbiased, foreign, fact based - the mob was trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power so Trump could retain power.

And "without weapons" is an outright lie. Go watch the videos. Go read the court transcripts. Go check the actual evidence instead of spouting nonsense and irrelevant talking points.

It was only later the right ring media (also known as liars - see the numerous lawsuits they lost and the evidence pulled from them - especially Fox News, and soon OANN and others will face the same legal standards and will fold) started to change their tune.

And they do it because it works on enough people not able to understand or accept reality - as your comment illustrates.

People that have a hard time accepting reality or evidence use the term "mainstream media" derisively in order to preserve a world view formed by eating conspiracies and nonsense. The actors selling lies to people that flit from conspiracy to conspiracy love the term "mainstream media" because it helps them grift money from people.
I heard that falls are lethal for the elderly. A fall can cause an injury, which requires rest to recuperate from, which deteriorates muscles that help balance, therefore being more likely to have another fall soon after recovering from the first. Leading to an eventually fatal cascade of events.

Post back surgery I had to do core and back strengthening and balance exercises. Standing on one leg, keeping my back straight, pivoting at the hips to pick up a water bottle or basketball, then stand up straight again, and repeating the action 10 times whilst staying on one leg, picking the thing up, and putting it back down. I felt like I was a 3-year old with how poor my balance was. It also made my feet hurt like a child made to walk to the shops.

Just tried the exercise again now after not doing it for a long time. Yep, still terrible. I actually thought it would be much easier since I do inline skating regularly, and can roll on one skate for a decent while even down to pretty low speeds. More to add to the regular fitness routine...

When I remember, whilst brushing my teeth, I'll stand on one foot for 30 seconds at a time. It's also surprisingly hard and tiring.

I knocked out an OKR for my entire team in 1 day. It was dumb.

The OKR was that everyone earns a certificate in this achievement frame work for stuff they demonstrated they know how to do. All I had to do was submit the evidence for them. Then I sent instructions to the rest of the department on how to do use the system as request their first certificate. Now they have me heading up the department effort until they hire in someone who's 3 levels above me.
In my experience, the vast majority of companies that use OKRs do it incorrectly, misunderstand the point, and cause more harm than good. As a member of the management team, I was able to get my current company to leave them behind, by giving a well sourced presentation on what OKR is for and when/how to use them. After 1 quarter the lights went on and nobody wanted to use them anymore.

Here are the biggest mistakes I commonly see.

1. Use OKRs are for quarterly or year targets. No, OKRs are for managing big changes to things. Never for Business as Usual activities.

2. Require every team to write OKRs for every quarter / interval. See number 1.

3. Focus on the Key Results instead of the Objective. If the Key Results can be achieved without achieving the Objective, that's a broken OKR.

Overall, I think OKRs are a tool that has its uses but its misuse causes far more problems than its absence.

Update: typos
I do not agree that this study can be dismissed so easily.

The arguments about the possible influence of the satellite remains are plausible.

This is something that nobody has thought about before, so it is normal that it cannot be known yet whether this will ever be a serious problem or not.

Nonetheless, like for any other potential source of pollution, future studies are needed to monitor the effects of end-of-life satellites and determine whether they are important enough to warrant some regulatory action, or not.
Svante Arrhenius calculated the problem with CO2 in the atmosphere in 1896. I hope we don't wait that long to take modelling seriously the next time we screw something up.
That sounds to me like you haven't worked in a place that does OKRs right. The overriding thought should be "They are more like guidelines, anyway". Where I worked it was common for every single OKR to have a low completion score, and nobody batted an eye. Directions change, priorities change etc. The OKRs were still useful, to keep track of what everybody was doing.
>While it would be ideal to live in a state of progress such that most folks didn't own nor operate a vehicle

No it wouldn't. It is ideal to live in a state of progress where most "folks" can afford to own and operate a vehicle that allows them to go wherever they want whenever they want and take people with them.

"A non-existent amount of mathematics" -- which the joke could have been interpreted as implying -- is not zero mathematics: that would be an existent amount.

Another place these semantics arise is in talk about probability and possibility, wherein the possible can have zero probability (e.g. any specific value in a continuous probability distribution), but the impossible cannot have a zero probability because by definition it is outside the set of "possible events" (measure theoretically). Both make little intuitive sense.

Sarcasm is never a good look.

The article presents a serious argument as to why this is a possible danger. You don't try to engage with the article, or present a counter-argument.

Given the terrible consequences of weakening the Earth's magnetic field, "We don't know for sure it will happen so we simply shouldn't worry about it," seems unwise.

Google have not been very good with that. For a long time they didn't back up at all which meant if you swapped phones and didn't manually copy over you lost the codes. Now if you click the default OK button if copies all the codes to Google cloud which is ok if you don't have much money being protected but if you do there's a vulnerability that hacking your Google account gets your TOTP codes and probably passwords if you save them in Chrome. I'm currently in that situation and will probably shift to some other provider so it becomes two things to hack rather than one again.
> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

This line is in the site guidelines for a reason.

The concern is valid, and the paper just calls for additional research.
> I don’t agree that we need any more crypto mining operations, but at what point and whose control does the availability of electricity to a person get determined ?

Assuming we want a society where as many people as possible get their basic need covered while electricity supply is restricted, fixed (high) price on electricity for everyone just means that the richest will buy most of the supply for superfluous use while the poorest won't be able to afford heating.

Directly forbidding superfluous use should help against that. Though politicians may not be good at deciding what is superfluous (I can see resistive heating being deemed needed while gaming wouldn't, which is true but the game machine would heat as well as resistive heating leading to little difference in winter). Exponential price as another comment mentioned sounds like a better idea.
If I threaten to kill you with a gun on a balcony and you jump, did you do it "of your own volition"?
I think your response kind of misses the point. It's not that you can't do things with systemD, it's that your previous hacks suddenly no longer work. The same will be true for your system-d stuff once redhad decides that they want something else.
OKRs do not at all need to be one dimensional, the KR could be several measurements and also need not be quantitively determined.

There is no way something that matters cannot be somehow "measured", otherwise how would anyone detect the thing in the first place? Or am I misunderstanding you and this is about things that matter but are not known to matter?
for me it was the article's title
Especially since for the migration example you can trivially set the ambitious goal by measuring not the % of users migrated (since you need all of them) but measuring the time or cost of doing so; e.g. set an OKR to finish it in X days or under Y person-hours or Z dollars of cost, and pick the values of X/Y/Z so that they're not "safe" but rather the values where you expect a 70% likelihood of meeting that goal.
I'd buy that. I'd buy that for interview preparation as well. Maybe 5$ per hour, up to 15$. I wouldn't buy a subscription, only actual consumption of the service.

Please consider putting it in online.
Yikes. Thanks for that!
Honestly I think servo is a worthwhile endeavor if solely because it has the potential to introduce some needed variety into the browser engine space.

Especially if they can dial it in with tauri as a viable electron/blink alternative.

> A full-time attacker just need to spend their day scouting for approved firmwares and re-use them

What do you mean by that? The secure boot chain (all the way from the boot ROM) must not be broken for "hardware-backed" Play Integrity to pass. How could you reuse firmware with that in mind?
I like it! Not sure it works though. We observe the expansion of the universe accelerating, with gravity too weak to counter it. Reversing that would mean it's collapsing faster than the gravitational attraction of it's contents can account for. So either way, gravity isn't enough to explain what we observe.
This. I really like the idea of a pocket supercomputer like modern smartphone hardware. But I despise the software ecosystems that apple and google have built for them, with constant surveillance, lock-in, ads, tracking, horrible UIs and centralization.
CSR left to the altruism of companies motivated solely by their shareholder returns is a puerile fantasy. It's like that old adage from Upton Sinclair “It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it."

We've tried leaving it to private enterprise - and seen that the rational outcome is eWaste and planned obsolescence. Now we try it the EUs way - which is focused on Societal rather than Economic results, much to the dismay of many US Commentators - and which also has supporting legislation to ensure more rather than less competition for EU consumers.

If a company can't manage their BOM and supply chain sufficient to offset the larger societal cost, then their business model is nonviable. We've already introduced the "Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)" act which enforces things like Retailers taking responsible for recycling eWaste on-demand from Consumers, and making it harder for exporters to disguise illegal shipments of WEEE.

Firefox owes quite a bit of its speed to Servo... so that's a weird take.

And my comment: "Why would someone pay for something that is broken?"

If you only prioritize work for paying customers, and don't do things to grow ... you'll eventually die from attrition.
People can for sure be motivated be simply, standardized processes, such as a % of revenues as commission. However, not everyone gets motivated that way and organizations could use different processes in places or also just say: we only want people motivated by X.
It's generally a good idea to have some documentation that states what a machine is used for, the "service", and how important said service is relative to others.

At my company we kind of enforce this by not operating machines that are not explicitly assigned to any service.

However you have to anticipate that the quality of documentation still varies immensely which might result in you shutting down a service that is actually more important than stated.

Fortunately documentation improves after every outage because service owners reiterate on their part of the documentation when their service was shut down as "it appeared unimportant".

It's a process.
Sorry bud, no strawmen in sight. I was giving you an example of the system failing for me. This is a valid reason to criticize the system. If I had a solution that I had been able to test and validate then I would present it. In the absence of that, there's value in pointing out that it's not a panacea and it may not be valuable for others to jump on the bandwagon
She … ?
I don't think it will be that easy. No company will allow that because it will be like sharing your user with someone else.

Also how do you think you will implement that?

Watching it at a relatively low bitrate on my phone the two things that stand out are the drinking glass and the lamp. The glass is too perfect - a real glass will have tiny deviations in wall thickness and surface imperfections that are apparent when you look through it, especially when moving around, glasses are always one of the biggest giveaways for me.

The lamp also has something strange going on and doesn't look like any real diffuser. I think they've tried to use surface roughness to simulate frosted glass, but have made it too translucent. It doesn't look like a translucent plastic either because of the high IoR, and have possibly made it solid rather than walled.

Rewatching it trying not to pick out too much is difficult, but if I would add one more thing it would be the very uniformly rainy windows which have some gridding to the droplets (and the small error of putting the shader on both panes of the doube glazing :p)
