- Emotional labor seemed to be a term coined for non-obvious work that is not directly tied to a worker’s duties: service workers don’t have it as their work duties, but simply “being nice” and accommodating can take effort (work)

- Caring professions are more directly interpersonal and intimate; that there is an emotional component is more obvious and less incidental

- This is about administrative work that is completely separate from interpersonal work duties

The Copilot meeting summary features in Teams are actually pretty good. It's far more likely that someone will quickly skim the meeting summary than sit through an hour long meeting recording. Costs extra, though.

Since when is it reasonable to assume that?

You have a reference to a temporary. Reference lifetime extension is a thing. No UB there. Completely defined and supported.
This is a wonderful post and articulates something I've also struggled with over the years - and I'm much older than 16!

To me, it can be distilled down to human decision making... how flawed we are in terms of cause/effect, how logical fallacies are so powerful. Ultimately we discovered that the Scientific Method was a tool for us to overcome these flaws. Hopefully there is a similar tool out there in the ether which can help us to navigate complexity with similar confidence.

If you "just want chat" but are required to use Teams at work, you might try pidgin[1] with the MS Teams plugin[2]. The former can be installed via scoop and therefore does not require admin priveleges to install.

This thing still works, and works better than ever, with plugin for modern chat services available.

A better analogy would be if one of your friends had dirt on your whole friend group. One of those people then (allegedly) threatens your friend, and as a result they release information to harm everyone BUT the one who threatened them. "Sarah's" information might be accurate, but her choosing what information to reveal makes her actions suspicious.

Some counter points:

ARM originated at a European company (Acorn/Olivetti).

Bluetooth originated at a European Company (Ericsson)

Psion, Nokia, and Ericsson invented what would be considered the basics of the Smartphone (via Symbian, Series 60 etc)

Spotify is a Swedish company.

Nokia and Ericsson produce a good amount of the telecoms infrastructure equipment.

While Europe certainly hasn't had a start-up culture on par with the US it hasn't been a complete slouch either.

Its wholly possible for the universe to be teeming with single-celled life, but I think the jump to multicellular, intelligent, civilization, and space-faring (at least signals wise) could still cut it to a factor 1/1000 stars. And we're relatively early in the life of the universe still.

At many larger companies, data retention policies that KEEP old data are pretty standard for platforms like this.

Record retention is a reality for many workers no matter how inconvenient reading out of context messages from 7 years ago might be.
The claim that giving $50 is a control assumes or at least hints that you would get the same outcome giving $0 as you would $50. Because the study showed that there were basically the same results across all treatment groups in some categories (notably, rental housing attainment), the logical conclusion is that giving $0 is the same as giving $1k in affecting the rate of rental housing attainment, if you accept that "study group c" -as the study authors labelled it- was a control. Of course if you read the data, you can see that there is noticeable effects unrelated to housing attainment that scale with more money.

So cynically, which is happening a lot in this thread, people are saying that there is basically no benefit to providing additional money at all, which is a conclusion that can only be arrived at by assuming that $0 == $50. As I pointed out elsewhere, economic theory around marginal utility says that the first $50 is going to provide more utility than any subsequent amount. For someone on the street, $50/month may well be a massive improvement in QOL.

Put this way, since there is no control group, we can't tell how much of ANY of the effects comes from the first $50 vs. people just being able to pull themselves out of homelessness through other means. We can make assumptions, but that is a great way to come to wrong conclusions. There is a good reason that most hard sciences will not accept a study that doesn't have an actual control group.

To answer your question about what good I am doing: 1. I am educating people as to why a rigorous control is necessary to reach solid conclusions, and hopefully getting them to understand why a business insider article is a shit substitute for reading the actual data. 2. I am pointing out that we cannot conclude that $0 == $50 == $1,000 when it comes to housing attainment because that data doesn't exist (we CAN say that in this study $50/mo == $1000/mo when it comes to housing outcomes)

I want people to understand that this study is far from conclusive in regards to rental attainment.

I don't get it. Dotenv is only good for local dev. Otherwise you should put your secrets in environment variables (the "env" in ".env"). That people put .env files in prod is a mistake itself, and the proposed fixes here seem to not really do much about that.
IMO, the thing that went wrong with Lync->SFB transition was they bought Skype based on the idea that they could do something to merge the code with Lync, but over a year or two found out that that the only value was in the Skype branding, and the code and architecture of it was a dumpster fire. While the whole org was distracted by that, Teams came along and showed them what a rewrite from the ground up could do.
I'm guessing regarding being able to use it outside of their apps, no? That's my main concern. I'm mainly a Mail.app user and having to run the bridge all the time does not seem ideal for me. I haven't tried it out so this is just me talking from the outside.
I understand your frustration, but it's genuinely not that easy.

You're right that there are a lot of gray areas in the law, where the two sides are clear but there's a blurry line. One famous example being, should Pringles be taxed as potato chips or as other chips? Because they're not fried slices of potatoes, they're a fried and shaped mixture of dried potatoes, corn flour, and rice flour. People think of them as potato chips, but they're not really. But it's still relatively straightforward to just draw a line somewhere.

The problem with antitrust is that we don't really know how to define it at all. It's not just a single dimension like "is it a potato chip?" where there's just a single line. It's more like a blob with lots of dimensions where different reasonable completely just completely disagree on what the basic most important elements even are.

> Sure it'll be a bit messy, but better than doing exactly nothing

That's where you're wrong. Badly applied antitrust law can actually be much worse than doing nothing.

I'm not saying to give up. I'm just saying, it's not nearly as easy as you're making it sound. There are really smart people who research antitrust and try to come up with recommendations, and they have profound disagreements with each other. The problem is actually a lot harder than you seem to think it is.

Would be nice to be able to configure which .env file to read as an environment variable. Why? Imagine a package.json with this line:

Instead of the -f flag, which now cannot be overriden, one could invoke it with

`DOTENV=.env.staging npm run start`

Yeah, I also agree that the public really doesn't need to know everything their leaders are up to. It's much better for us if we only receive pre-filtered information.

Perhaps journalists are not the best choice, though, don't you think? In a democracy I'd say the most trustworthy people we have to be tasked with filtering our information are our freely elected politicians!
Why not include this data in their AI training models? Personally, I was irritated after that quiet 'opt-out' via email to prevent your corporate slack from being used in their ai training models change, recently. I guess they can double dip?

Teams is anything but an alternative to Slack
As someone that doesn't work for the photo-sharing website, I love the new multiple interpreter stuff (it does feel a bit redundant now that the gilemtomy is going forward though, but who knows, maybe more cool uses will become apparent with time (and even so, it is making cpython-the-implementation clean up some of its ugly c-isms that it never bothered fixing, so it's a net win imo even if the feature itself ends up being not-useful)) and the gil-removal. As soon as the gil is gone I'm going to be experimenting with some new optimization projects at work, whole new flows that just weren't viable before under multiprocessing now suddenly are. (whether it all works out for us at that point is anyone's guess, but it's now our problem and not the languages', so yay!)

And I'm certainly not unique amongst other pythonistas, this has been a goal for literal decades.
I'm actually surprised Slack isn't actively harvesting unused free instances, to be honest. I know of at least one group that would create a free instance per-event that would then sit idle after (presumably to avoid having to deal with security issues/key admins deciding to not participate).

Isn't the whole biodegradability thing a bit of a red herring anyways? Just have a reasonably good waste collection system, then either incinerate (yay, dispatchable carbon neutral energy!) or landfill (yay, carbon capture and burial!) and call it a victory. The key benefit of plant based plastics is that no fossil hydrocarbons have been reintroduced back into the active cycle to make it.
>> We’ve got exiled Aussie politicians here in the U.K.

Does Australia actually exile people? I thought that was done away with long ago. If they are wanted for crimes in Australia then they would be extradited from the UK. Even informal exile only normally happens between countries that do not have extradition treaties. I suspect these politicians are simply expatriates living in the UK for professional or tax reasons.

I remember almost 10 years ago, maybe 8 i first saw one of these up in the city. It was parked and the technician was outside of it with an ipad, and i happened to strike up a conversation with the gentleman. I was just curious and at first he was remarkably cagey, i was quite confused and just continued to be friendly and express hope for the projects success and for automation in general.

I got the feeling that man had been accosted many times by angry locals and I may have been the first to give a word of encouragement, he was very polite after the initial tension wore away and he felt my shared enthusiasm. He must have been one of the early engineers, I had never seen or heard the name waymo but I was aware google had been competing in the level 1/2 dessert tests.

The man was very friendly and i was surprised how his behavior must be a reflection of society's view towards technical automation. Seeing the videos of people kicking food delivery robots and now my own tendency to flip off elon musks tesla cameras all these years later I am starting to get why he was nervous.

Cheers to the future I suppose, but hopefully the future has less cars and more walkable cities.

I think you need a culture of summarising this type of info & saving somewhere that isn't ephemeral (e.g. README, team wiki). Else even with the history maintained, it's still a pain to try to a) play pattern matching with Slack's search engine and b) weed out all the false positives of old info that's no longer relevant.

This feels like the type of thing that maybe could be farmed out to a trained LLM in the future — "summarise today's discussion on X in channel Y and post into the wiki".

I don't remember the exact figure off the top of my head, but if memory serves well it was in the ballpark of a decade that you could buy a new plastic bag every day and throw it away after, and it would still create less CO2 in total than one reusable cloth bag. Modern plastic is ridiculously cheap to manufacture whereas reusable bags waste a lot of energy and water. A good example of a movement where people feel good about themselves, but actually they're not making things better.

I've said it elsewhere here and I'll keep repeating it. The Democrats are largely a conservative party. They hold to liberal ideas of democracy and free markets. The vast majority of progressives around the world would call them a centrist-right wing party. The fact that they're the furthest left in the US structure doesn't make them actually leftist in the slightest, and neither does the fact that they're opposed primarily by theocratic fascists.

We don't have a right and left here. We have a right and less-right.

I cannot overstate this: As a leftist, I have NO representation of my ideas in American politics. None. I vote Democrat because the alternative is, again, theocratic fascism and I definitely don't want that. But that doesn't mean I have even one iota of love for the Democrats. They do not represent me or what I want for the world on the vast majority of issues.

That seems to be at odds with the thought that you would have done things differently. Obviously knowing how the cards fell in retrospect, it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback so to speak.

Over here in the UK, our grocery delivery service (Sainsburys) just comes to your door with flat crates full of unbagged shopping. You meet them at the door and transfer the shopping into your own bags. It's a lot slower than just grabbing bagged shopping out of the crates, and I have no idea how it works for folks in flats/apartments (do the delivery folks have to walk each crate up four flights of stairs individually?) but it is nice that it doesn't cause as much direct waste. Albeit that it might cause indirect waste due to now needing more vans on the road to service the same number of users, hm.

I think this article would be better if it ignored the issue of proving termination.

Proving that a program terminates eventually is a very weak guarantee, since it could be a program that terminates after a million years. This matters mostly for proof languages, where it’s useful to write proofs about functions that you never run. If the function provably terminates, you can assume that whatever value it returns exists, without calculating it.

For a possibly long-running job like a SQL query, a static guarantee that it terminates eventually is almost certainly not what you want. You’re going to need to test its performance, and ideally have a timeout and a way of handling the timeout. If you want to get fancy, a progress bar and cancel button might be nice.

Edit:

Compilers need to run fast for the programs we actually write. A type system that possibly doesn’t terminate under unusual conditions isn’t that big a deal, as long as people don’t write code like that. Hopefully you get a decent error message.

Compare with memory use. We don’t want compilers to use excessive amounts of memory, but don’t need static guarantees about memory use.

Not to mention the bags are usually made from significant amounts of recycled paper. So you're already getting a second use out of the material.

I feel like in the 80's when there was a big "paper kills trees" moral panic the plastic companies took advantage of that to market plastic, and paper companies started recycling their products and developing fast-growing pulpwood species to plantation farm sustainably. And now we could absolutely go back to paper with fewer ill effects. It's probably better for the planet because even if your paper bags end up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch something will decompose them into their organic constituents very rapidly and they won't agglomerate into rocks on beaches somewhere.
