Thanks for the additional data.

With low retention, the situation looks even more dire.

I understand the outgoing for salaries, software, office expenses. But in overall business terms all of those, too, need to be supported by the revenue generated. A viable business is one that sustains all its expenses and has a surplus to be re-invested. From the data so far, I'm guessing that it is unlikely to ever happen. Thus the suggestion that your gut feelings are spot on and it might be an idea to move on.

(word in bold added by me)

This is the crux of the whole debate imo. We simply don't know. For all you know, the chicken's experience is far worse, even if the external manifestation of their sufferring is less relatable.

And to take it a step further, potentially the same goes for plants.
Getting nice UI is the easy problem, getting quality content / community will be your main problem.

Please no.

ICQ was as unsecure as any chat protocol can ever be. No encryption, plaintext, lots of bugs, HTML and XSS injection and other things, let alone RCEs that directly execute .exe files and were able to steal Browser/Trident engine cookies and active sessions on websites you visited.

Please, just get over it and use jabber/pidgin and OTR encryption if you want oldskool chats.
Sure, if it let me delete my account.
People still use SSH these days?

I kid, but really you probably shouldn't on Production. You should be exporting your logs and everything else. The host or VM bootstrapped golden images with everything as needed.

It is okay to start that way and figure out your enternals but that isn't for Production. Production is a locked down closed environment.

Git shortcomings are well known by this point, so "all" a successor project has to do is solve those problems. Git scales to Linux kernel sized projects, but it turns out there are bigger, even more complex projects out there, so it doesn't scale to Google-sized organizations. You would want to support centralized and decentralized operation, but be aware of both, so it would support multiple remotes, while making it easier to keep them straight. Is the copy on Github up to date with gitlab, the CI system, and my laptop and my desktop? It would have to handle binaries well, and natively, so I can check-in my 100 MiB jpeg and not stuff things up. You'd want to use it both as a monorepo and as multirepos, by allowing you to checkout just a subtree of the monorepo. Locally, the workflow would need to both support git's complexity, while also being easier to use than git.

Anyway, those are the four things you'd have to hit in order to replace git, as I see them.

If you had such a system, getting people off git wouldn't be the issue - offer git compatibility and if they don't want to use the advanced features, they can just keep using their existing workflow with git. The problem with that though, is that then why use your new system.

Which gets to the point of, how do you make this exist as a global worldwide product? FAANG-sized companies have their own internal tools team to manage source code. Anywhere smaller doesn't have the budget to create such a thing from scratch but

You can't go off and make this product and then sell it to someone because how many companies are gonna go with an unproven new workflow tool that their engineers want? What's the TAM of companies for whom "git's not good enough", and have large enough pocketbooks?
> Our Quoting Of An Individual That Alleged SEBI Is Corrupt And Works “Hand In Glove” With Conglomerates Like Adani To Help It Skirt Regulations

Allegations against SEBI should have been backed by more evidence. You can't accuse a regulatory body and then expect it to work with you, especially when you are clearly a foreign bear.
Doesn't seem like you would abide with any exaggeration at all ;)

What I would really like to see is their lab, to find out if I think they have the necessary instruments to make proper measurements.

If not then I would want to find out how their measurements were taken.

If so then I would like to see some real-time measurements myself.

When you see a single sphere resting upon a large rectangular pedestal like that, it's always possible there is a battery under there being charged by solar energy. Equally possible I guess that there's a battery under there powering the sphere instead.

Similar odds it could also be a rehash of futuristic 1960's technology, if each sphere contains a rare dilithium crystal from the original Starship Enterprise ;)
Shell shock was considered related to neurasthenia (weak nerves) which is the 18th century name for ME/CFS. TBI, ME/CFS and PTSD are highly correlated for what I believe are the same genetic predisposition plus an environmental trigger.

If the court gets to decide what is or is not an official act, then they effectively get to control what the president can or can not do. They've already shown that they don't care about precedent, so they'll make those decisions based on their own (or their patrons') momentary convenience. That makes the executive the puppet of the judiciary. Instead of one king we have nine. Happy 4th of July.

They aren't running low on conscripts. They ran low on people they could conscript using the previous set of conscription laws that were extremely "leaky". Then they changed the law, and now they're not really low on manpower anymore.
Alias analysis is important. It's the C standard's type-based "strict aliasing" rules which are nonsense and should be disabled by default.

This is C. Here in these lands, we do things like cast float* to int* so that we can do evil bit level manipulation. The compiler is just gonna have to put that in its pipeline and compile it.

Hi, I'm Jerred. I'm a fullstack engineer with 5 YOE. I love programming and I'm hoping to find a spot where I feel challenged.

I'm more than happy and capable to work on something outside of the skillset I listed above. I'd be very interested in working in a functional language or Rust.

Part-time I'm getting my masters in CS at Georgia Tech. I've taken compilers, distributed systems, and advanced operating systems among others.
The gates exist to keep out people who don’t know how to do that. The people with that level of skill+motivation are _going_ to get in, and shorting some contacts is probably a less destructive way for them to do it.
yeah that's the new quora. it's really bad now but used to be really good
Likewise.

Cheers.
I am not that commenter but I think I share their concerns. This feels like the equivalent of finance bros selling their 'get rich quick university' tickets, where the core lesson is to start a 'get rich quick university'

Is there any evidence of the fact you have 'cracked the code' or do you simply have an extensive list of failures? If there is no evidence of successful implementations, why should I invest time in your knowledge base?
Fiber has been used for over twenty years to connect storage systems to compute resources. Recently, Ethernet over fiber is becoming more common.

As @talidayo points out, the fiber connections are unlikely to be saturated. What hurts distributed systems is the overhead of message sending, the packing and unpacking of transmission data structures. As a rudimentary rule, individual nodes / services should spend only a small fraction of the resources and time for marshaling data and the rest on useful computation.

> Nothing is wrong with the voters.

I don't understand how anyone can genuinely believe that.

Half the population has an absolutely astounding and embarrassing level of education, think things like climate change are hoaxes, don't care about the constitution and just want Jesus' word to be law, etc etc etc.

The problem is absolutely the voters. It's also why this model of democracy is actually kind of terrible unless you have an educated population. We're basically watching the fall of the American Empire here.
Hey there. I wonder if we've ever crossed paths. :)

It is especially ill-defined when the input itself may have been rounded already, e.g. round(0.15, 1) = 0.1 because 0.15 is not exact in binary64 and the binary64 value closest to 0.15 is a bit smaller than 0.15. If you have to retain the exact rounded value for some reason, you should switch to fixed point from that point on.
What you describe often leads to v2 re-write projects. Sometimes it works out well and other times not so good.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I am aghast with the press-ganging going on in Ukraine. I think if Ukraine can’t motivate volunteers to fight then they must surrender. I get that we (the west) wouldn’t like that but they’re taking volunteers so anyone who wants to fight that war is free to do so. Too many people wanting other people to fight their wars for them. I don’t even like my country, the thought of being press ganged by them would make me like the country even less.
I doubt there would be as much bitterness if the "silent professionals" didn't write so many books about what incredible badasses they are.
It was an unsuccessful attempt. Apparently that's enough for you to be cool with it though.
> there's also hard upper limits to what you can earn depending on education, and job title.

If you live in CA in the us there are hourly jobs and salary jobs. Not all salary jobs are the same. Some of them have "exempt" status. If you make less than (70k a year I think) and work more than 40 hours a week they have to pay you over time.

SO your a Jr programer at a game studio and they want to work you 100 hours a week. Well if you make 100k a year tough for you on over time.

By that same token I can negotiate a stupid high salary as "top talent" in tech. Regardless of what my title or qualifications are.

Most of the giant companies in the Vally got to their scale on the backs of a lot of late nights by a lot of people.

>> I know for myself that every day I do approximately 1/5th of the total amount of productive work I can do in a week while remaining happy and willing.

The answer to this is money. Not another 10k a year, rather the long bet of stock options. It isn't a bet you're making alone either. I can call up people from some of my more early 2000s start up days and they will move mountains if I ask them to. Because we survived those late nights the is a strange bond... The pay off isn't a bit of money or "FIRE" money, it's "fuck you money", it can be stupid!!! Lots of those types (the ones who won the stock options lottery) are still here working (and more than 40 hours a week) because they love the thrill (it's addicting).

Now look at China, pushed the same way. Its tech culture is 996. 9am to 9pm 6 days a week. It also is the home of "lying flat" ... so it is trying BOTH directions.

In the case of Greece, productivity per worker is appalling low... They not only need more jobs in general they also need more work out of the same folks. Does removing the cap make running a salary startup that is US style expectations viable? IDFK but it would be a step towards that.
I compete in the market like everyone else.
>The real issue is that everyone wants to live in the same places

They want to live where they can survive, and survival is dependent on money.

Many people (myself included) would be perfectly happy living in a quiet remote area with basic amenities.
> Not really, a society that sends women to war is more or less a cowardly society dressing it up as equality.

Israel is likely the most prominent country sending women to war. I'm eager to call Israel many bad names, but "cowardly" is not one of them.

I think it's a worthwhile discussion, but your argumentation seems to be mainly based on stereotypes (women are weak) and some old chivalric ideals.
Warp Dex | Generalist hackers and engineers | REMOTE | https://warp.io/

Warp is a new decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX), built entirely in an Ethereum smart contract, with no external dependencies. Its novel innovation is a new data-structure that enables it to match buyers and sellers completely on-chain without capital-inefficient liquidity pools, and with lower fees than most other exchanges (both centralized and decentralized). More information at this conference presentation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUosFwSdVU0&t=51m10s

The project is in final stages of testing, aiming to go live in the next few months. We are looking for a few more generalist, security-minded hackers and engineers to round out our tech team. Blockchain experience not required, we can teach that, but we have a high bar for general computer science and software engineering capability.

Built by an experienced team who previously co-authored Lightning Network (https://lightning.network/), Plasma (https://plasma.io/), and Handshake (https://handshake.org), among others. We work remotely but with regular company-paid on-site/in-person work sessions, both in the US and Asia. Health care and usual benefits included.

Contact jobs@warp.io if interested.

Such organizations, while capable of bringing really large (and lucrative) breakthroughs, can't produce them reliably, let alone on a schedule. While at it, they require a constant and rather high upkeep.

So they can only exist on thick streams of resources, which can be emitted either by huge corporations (Xerox PARC, Lockheed's skunkworks, IBM and Google research centers, etc), or governments, the latter almost invariably from its military branch.

I think this is probably correct. There are people who shoot thousands of rounds per year and there hasn’t been any mind of established pattern of brain damage like this (at least to my knowledge).

It’s possible small arms fire doesn’t make big enough shockwaves. To cause the effects. I’d hypothesize it’s the larger blasts… perhaps even a frequency component to it? Blasts from a fast explosive like C4 could do more damage than slower shockwaves like mortar or artillery shots.

Idk. Interesting subject.

> Can anyone build a bathroom without buying from Koala?

Can you? I ask, because I legitimately don't know - The article mentions the Baby Act that mandates a change table in public restrooms, so you MUST have a change table - and that change table MUST meet some safety standards. What I do know is that regulatory capture is a quiet activity that can be done through many mechanisms.

What are the safety regulations around baby changing stations and who writes them? If anything, this article hasn't made me feel more fuzzy towards Google, but makes me ask "why does Koala Care have such a large market share?"

If making a change table is as easy as some plastic, some straps and a bolting assembly surely someone can make a product just as good for the same or less price. However, that clearly isn't the case, which makes me question what is the regulatory landscape for approval of change tables and who approves them?
How is fabricating a justification for invading a country that never attacked America benefit the average citizen who's quality of life has fallen in the past three decades?

I just don't understand this "freedom" argument that seems to gloss over the obvious--poor people dying for a small group of people that benefit massively from war
I believe in the specific case of gender equality, the burden of proof is on the side which claims that discrimination is justified.

There's no provision in the constitution for immunity. They made it up there's nothing reasonable about it.

Under this decision the president can commit a crime or order someone else to commit a crime, and as long as the crime is committed using a power of the office, it can't be charged.

For example, if in an official communication the president orders an officer to solicit a bribe for doing their duty, the president can't be charged.

It's ridiculous, horrible, and destructive to the constitution.
I can’t respond to any of your comments about policy, because you’ve never elaborated your ideas, and you seem to be assuming a great deal about mine and the other commenters.

1) Real heroin does not exist anymore in real life. All of it is varying cuts of fentanyl and research chemicals.

2) Your original comment asked the question “how many have died from oxy vs hepatitis”, which, along with your comments about heroin, made it clear that your knowledge isn’t up to date. It strains credulity to say that more people died of hepatitis than they did of the opioid they’re injecting into themselves regularly. Do you really think hepatitis is the root cause here? Or is it the proliferation of opioids much stronger than heroin. I’m sure you’ve heard of fentanyl and carfentanil, but there are entire other classes (such as Benzimidazoles) that have been rising to prominence in the last few years that are more dangerous.

3) I’m very anti DEA as well, and agree that prohibition kills. However, this is not simply a case of holding a manufacturer for a substance responsible. It’s what the Sacklers did after learning of the addictive power of these medicines that gives them culpability. It’s like a local bar serving someone even when they’re visibly drunk, which confers criminal responsibility if that drunk person later does something while under the influence. Making opiates == legal, being negligent == not legal. I wish we didn’t have a prohibition, and drugs could be acquired safely, but that doesn’t mean that the ends justify the means, and any drug manufacturer is automatically the good guy.

I just don’t think you’re approaching this subject with the care it deserves. It’s easy to make flippant comments blaming “Drug warriors” (genuinely confused what that even means—does that mean someone who is pro-prohibition?), it’s much harder to interact with the literal decades of research about this topic, and magnitudes harder to actually experience these things yourself. If you’d like a starting point, I found this report to be pretty approachable: https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3117.html. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if posing questions the way you have elicits emotional reactions from those who know people who have died. I lived through the first wave of fentanyl in the US, but I know quite a few who didn’t. Based off what i’ve been able to pick up out of all the vitriol, I think we would likely agree about the policy decisions, but your approach of making simplistic comments and then calling people evil based off of their response seems like an ineffectual strategy. And maybe it isn’t, but then you’d have solved the drug crisis already, right?
