> Combine 50% extra time with adderall. 1500+ SAT scores are not uncommon.

That's not a great take. If you want to complain about overprescribing, go ahead. But Adderall is meant for people who need it to get closer to baseline. People abusing the prescription is not a good reason to criticise IEP adjustments.
I had a nearly same experience with you when my company was acquired by Tencent. Most of employees don't know what's going on, but there are some strangers around in the office, actually another separate office. Only HR and finance people deal with those people from acquirer, they reviewed company contracts and some other legal paperworks. I saw there are lots of paper in their dedicated office. We engineers are the last one knows.

My supervisor called me to a meeting room, he let me first sign a non-disclosure agreement, or he can't tell me nothing. I had to sign that paper. Then he told me that the company was acquired, and you have choice to either leave or work for Tencent. If you want work for Tencent, you had to go over their interview and only talented people will get offer.

But actually 95% of my colleagues get offer, including me.

Wondered this too. Diabetics are at risk for hypoglycemia because of the insulin they take, not the diabetes itself. Maybe metformin for a prediabetic could have this effect?

>Well the article says they are left-wing, and "activism arson" sounds a lot like something a hippy would do,

Whew buddy that takes so hot I think you’ve singed yourself in your haste to rip your mask off.

You do not know what a hippie even is, man.

Read the Wikipedia page on them.

While you’re there check out the eco terrorism page. There’s overlap but it’s not equally bidirectional making this thread amusing but also misinformation that could have been easily debunked for you any time over the past five decades.

There’s a big difference between an eco terrorist and a hippie. Hippie is a lifestyle whereas eco terrorist isn’t unless you’re Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, BP, or the United States government and armed services.
The trouble is, security fixes (generally) don't get backported to older branches.

Even if the security fixes were backported, it would produce a new version of the older branch, and requires an update in order to actually use it. If the security fix is in an older branch or a newer branch doesn't matter: it still qualifies as an update.
The security team let y’all know afterward, right? Right?

(I was a CISO. I absolutely would have told the company afterward so that they knew what happened and what to watch out for next time.)

One of the critical aspects of public health policy is to avoid becoming fixated on single issues; you need to have a broad lens. It’s pretty arguable that some governments became overly fixated on COVID in isolation, and failed to consider broader issues.

There’s definitely a different feel to the electric motor driven assist. Though there are just many different implementations probably the specific one you had was particularly quirky.

Relatedly I had a Hyundai i30 for a while which has a well known fault where the plastic gear connection (called a Spyder Bush) from the electric motor to the steering column would break. Resulting in slop and a clunk. Not hard to imagine similar failures or bad design.

the unknown is how much the market for tech jobs has dried up

yes, that is the real challenge. the best thing to do would probably be to learn something new, while looking for jobs for your current experience. but balancing that can be tricky, especially if learning something new involves some kind of commitment to a training institution.
My company made it very clear I was being hired in an at will state when I was taking the job. They brought it up many, many times.

People are not fired every time there is a personality clash or a new leader with a different style. There is no way the company could run with that much turnover and brain drain on a regular basis. People need to learn how to work with all kids of people and personalities… especially if they are working in a leadership role. If a leader feels the need to fire everyone they don’t get along with, they have no business being in that role.

A good leader will figure out how to get the most out of each person on the team, not demand they all fit in a certain mold or get out. The boss I had who got the most out of me figured out that if I was interested in a project I would work 12 hour days on it and really go the extra mile, while if I wasn’t interested, I’d drag my feet and procrastinate. If he saw me pushing something off, or with more experience, if I didn’t immediately jump in with both feet, he’d give the project to someone else who would slog through the projects I hated, but flounder on the ones I excelled at. It’s all about resource management, and to do that, there needs to be some variety in the resources. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses and it’s up to the leaders to align the people in a way where the strengths shine and the weaknesses are supported.
Yep, I think both compulsory 4-hour meetings and long rants complaining about them are a bummer.
It's complicated. Graydon Hoare is the founder of the Rust project and led it through its early days, but left the project before its 1.0. The Rust that shipped shares the tenets of the Rust that Graydon created, but it is also different in some foundational ways. Graydon has written about this (and also why he left the Rust project) online.

" I wonder if Boeing doesn't want to admit that for some legal reason, maybe they don't have a lot of documentation they say they should have. "

This would be a bad legal strategy. Playing this through as a lawyer:

1. You will be asked to produce it in a lawsuit

2. It will come out it does not exist but should.

3. You will be absolutely and totally excoriated in the lawsuit, in the court of public opinion, and by your regulators.

4. You will prolong the news cycle of your malicious belligerence, and it may even spike higher when it comes out the docs don't exist but should.

5. You will be forced to settle the lawsuit at very high cost, and because you were totally belligerent, you will be regulated much harder, which has a higher-than-the-lawsuit cost most likely

Meanwhile, admitting you are missing shit you should not be, because the contractors played games (or even if it is just you):

1. You will be forced to settle the lawsuit at high cost

2. You will be less excoriated because you owned up to your failure, and because you look more like a bumbling company instead of belligerent and malicious.

3. You will probably be regulated more, but probably less than you did in the first scenario because of #2

The net expected value of the first strategy is much lower than the second.

They can't prevent themselves from losing or being excoriated, they can only try to make it have less cost.

Well, they do exert that power to me. I have the Apple Watch Ultra because my Series 6 got water after 3-ish years of swimming and died (while I think it shouldn't have happened, that's OK, I know it hasn't been designed for that much water exposure), I decided to get the "more durable" Ultra as I was getting more serious on my swims.

I had the S0, S3, S6 and never had any problems otherwise. In Ultra, their flagship and most durable watch, it's problematic as I can imagine: the original loop started to wear out in 6 months, the action button sometimes just does nothing, GPS (which should have been more accurate due to more band support etc) goes crazy while swimming (which never happened with S6) and records incorrect data (I see physically impossible "jumps" in recorded swim daya) and most importantly, the screen sometimes goes black (after months of debugging I've realized that it is wrist detection, but no solution other than turning off always on display which for some reason "solves" the problem but I can't have always-on display).

Despite all those problems on the most expensive and "durable" watch which I didn't have on any other watch before, Apple support did a diagnostic and told me there is absolutely nothing wrong with the device, and don't offer a replacement.

A friend had similar problems and they "found nothing wrong" with his AWU either and refused to replace it too (he then switched to Garmin).

As Apple is a company that blatantly refuses problems with their own devices I now hesitate to buy another Apple Watch, or the AVP for instance, simply because I can't trust them anymore.

Euso: AI-Driven Terraform Deployment For Your Cloud Services
I completely misread the article too (and the 'Additional context' article posted here), I think because it words things strangely but also the whole message is about change and all the examples seem to be of places where the well known spelling is already the Hepburn spelling. So the change is to official spellings that aren't used?
We're thrilled to unveil Euso, an AI-driven Terraform deployment solution we're designing to automate your cloud infrastructure projects. Leveraging the power of our in house LLM—EusoGPT—we've created a platform that not only suggests the optimal cloud resources from your preferred provider for your backend requirements but also autonomously generates and deploys Terraform projects tailored to your needs.

Imagine having a conversation with EusoGPT, articulating your project requirements through plain English, and then sitting back as it crafts a comprehensive Terraform setup, ready for deployment. Our aim is to enhance productivity, reduce complexity, and offer terraform users an extremely powerful automation tool.

We're eager to hear your thoughts on this project. We're currently in rapid development of the MVP so we're looking for people to join us! We have the landing page setup for now.

We currently don't have the tool out in the public, but we're offering Demo's on request! Let us know if you'd like to book a demo with our team and we'd be happy to schedule a time to show you what we're working!
Looking forward to your thoughts and discussions!

There's definitely something a little weird about people who proclaim themselves a "Leader" on their LinkedIn title.

I can't even imagine how that happens. Did they wake up that day, intending to do that before they even opened their laptop? "Today's the day!" Or, were they just dropping by the Edit form, when they were struck by such a brilliant idea?

Every time I see it, I just hear Tywin intoning the same old lesson:

"Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king."

I guess it sounds a little less dramatic when you swap in "Product Leader" for "king," but I think the point still holds.

Not knocking him, just clarifying. It is terribly written (The Japan Times is an English-language Japanese publication, you can safely knock them for it), but the (untranslated) chart tells the tale: Kunrei-shiki on the left and Hepburn-shiki on the right. What the article doesn't make clear is that Hepburn-shiki is what we're already used to seeing overseas, so for us, nothing is changing. Shibuya is still Shibuya, but the written Romanization is not the best pronunciation guide no matter what form of Romaji.
> State governments need to pass laws forcing cities to allow housing, or this will continue to just get worse and worse.

Honestly, for places like this, they just need to pass laws forbidding anyone except bona fide residents of the community from purchasing a home in this area.

Already lived there full time for 5 years? Have a job offer at a recognized business in the area? Legitimate family connection? Etc? You're good.

Out-of-town millionaire? Have multiple homes across the country/world? Are an LLC? Get lost.

Sure it would prevent existing residents from cashing in on a boom, but who cares about that? I don't.
> if there was a school shooter inside a school, should the school be bombed?

If there were multiple school shooters inside one school, and they were coördinating with other shooters across the country, that becomes a valid trade off. (In a classic solo shooter scenario, everyone you want to save is inside the building. There is no external context.) In the same way that a hijacked plane, post 9/11, is a valid target for being shot down.
This made me laugh a lot. You know how to write.

"Leadership in the absence of a skill is just aspiring to run a cult of personality."

Great line, and it's true outside of work too.
>So the change is to official spellings that aren't used?

Yes, the whole point is that kunreishiki is not practically used so it doesn't make sense for it to continue to be the official way to romanize things and for it to continue to be taught in school when no one is using it.
Does this apply to digital services too? Isn't it basically making inflation illegal?
Yes you can use Nox separately today. https://github.com/elodin-sys/elodin/tree/main/libs/nox . It just hasn't been released on crates.io yet, and no promises about stability.

Picture of Shibuya Station's glowing sign. Caption: "the famous Tokyo shopping district known worldwide as Shibuya will be changed in its official presentation from Sibuya"

Currently, Shibuya is officially supposed to be romanized as Sibuya, but in common usage including signage it is written Shibuya.

"Amid concern the divide between official rules and common usage is causing confusion, a subcommittee of the Council for Cultural Affairs deemed it necessary to consider the revision to improve communication."

Since they want to adapt the law to match what everyone is already doing anyways, no change is to be expected.
