Quick maths on the LED thing:

According to Wikipedia, AirPods Pro Gen 1 have 0.16 Wh of battery per AirPod (There's no data on Gen 2).
With 5 hours listening time, that gives a power draw of 0.032 watts or 32 milliwatts.
This answer https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/640179 (I know, not the best source, but I'm just guesstimating anyways) gives a current of 1 mA at 5 V for an indicator LED. So the LED would need 5 mW. That increases power draw to 37 milliwatts and gives a new battery life of about 4 hours and 20 minutes.
If using 5 mA, which the answer calls "blindingly bright for some clear LEDs, even from 10 feet away", the LED would draw 25 mW and reduce listening time to only 2 hours and 50 minutes. The answer is also about non-diffuse LEDs so the indicator would only be visible from a narrow angle, but since it would point forward, that's probably fine. Making it diffuse would reduce perceived brightness again.

Brightness could be fine indoors, but outside with direct sun is probably harder. Since you would have the LED on both AirPods, you could probably expect that at least one of them is in the shadow at any time though.

The practice alone of organizing labor power against owners, irrespective of the demands, given the existing state of the world, is what is needed to show Class solidarity.

Simply showing class solidarity in order to kick off other strikes is valuable in and of itself.

Y’all really have to understand a general strike is coming.

A general strike means the labor class (you most likely), which is the group of people who do not primarily gain their income from passive investments, and are reliant on contracts that they don’t create or control which provide them very little control over their economic future, stop working in order to put extreme pressure on the group of people who do control those contracts and who do control capital.

Such a system is foundationally unethical, and should be Deconstructed as rapidly as possible with the expropriation of all that capital to the rightful owners: the people actually producing the value, and done in a way that’s not under duress, such that you do not have to take whatever dog shit contract is put in front of you

Or, fails in the same way any human would, when giving a snap answer to a riddle told to them on the fly - typically, a person would recognize a familiar riddle half of the first sentence in, and stop listening carefully, not expecting the other party to give them a modified version.

i assume you've created a negative association with zionism (from the news?) but that is far from the case.

zionism is the belief that the jews have the right to live in their ancestral homeland (ancient judea), which is not at the expense of anyone else.

any jew that's gone on birthright visits Masada, it's a right of passage. the vast majority of jews around the world are zionist and believe israel is the original homeland of jews, which historically is true.

now if there's an argument to be made that there should be no religious centric nations, well then we should hold the christian and muslim majority states to the same standard, no?
I agree.

I do remember a study that people often think label their more popular friends as their "best" friends, but if you go ask THOSE friends, they label THEIR even more popular friends as their "BEST" friends. It's often asymmetrical.

There's a great interview he's got with Anderson Cooper. A fantastic line from it is "I have no technical ability whatsoever". What a guy. Seemed quite likeable.
You said it: Your versions were locked. Therefore it is not constantly up-to-date.

I was pinched myself: Security.

- With the cloud threats, everything needs to be constantly up-to-date. Docker images make it easier than permanent servers that need to be upgraded. We used to upgrade every week, now we’re upgraded by default. So yes, sometimes our images don’t start with the latest version of xyz. But this is rare, downgrade is easy with Docker, and reproduction on a dev engine easier.

- With the cloud threats, everything needs to be isolated. Docker makes it easy to have an Alpine with no other executable than strictly necessary, and only open ports to the required services.

I hate the cloud because 4GB/2CPU should be way enough to run extremely large workloads, but I had to admit that convenience made me switch.

I actually lived in Japan for some years and was thinking specifically of them.

People that care at the post office, even if they have a litany of questions, and deliver your package in pristine condition is the preferred result over crap service where nobody in the entire chain cares at all if it even shows up or if it's beat up and stuff fell out.

> The shocking part is how new generation have a fully rational reinterpretation of all this, they call it "ethical sex". It's beautiful to them (probably in contrast to the boat loads of issues IRL social and intimate relationships can bring with them). And anything not aligned with their view causes a lot of angry arguments.

Do you have a source for that angrily defended "fully rational reinterpretation"?

I suspect the word for what's going on is rationalization not "fully rational reinterpretation" (e.g. "This is a thing we're doing, therefore it's good because we do it. Let's reevaluate everything else to achieve that result.").
I guess I meant a bit of both.

We don't give high social status to killers, thugs, murderers and hired assassins, but when it's institutionalized killing, (which is the military) that's okay? The fact that an "official" gives the word, and the victims are not citizens of your country doesn't make the military be less about killing.

There also is nothing "productive" about paying for salaries, equipment and training to a bunch of grown men in the anticipation that you have to send them to do violence to your bidding.

If the military was not under the veneer of "official", wrapping it in an "institution" and all the language of "serving your country", we'd not been able to distinguish between military, militia and armed thugs.

Yet, our society at large reveres them as some heroes and they are mainly socially acceptable.

I bet that if we had a "Department of pleasure", with ranks, hierarchies, rules, promotion paths, etc, sex workers wouldn't be as marginalized as they are now. In fact, in many civilized countries, prostitutions is both legal and taxed, and less stigmatized than it is in the US, who are too puritanical/religion influenced in their views to want it to be otherwise.
There are healthy, sustainable ecosystems, and there are unhealthy, unsustainable ecosystems.

While ants, wasps, and beavers can change a landscape to benefit them in an unsustainable, unhealthy way that will lead to their destruction, I think you have to indulge a bit of wishful thinking to not realize they are less likely and less capable of doing so than humans.

We'll need to set order in our own home before we look to the ants, the wasps, and the beavers.

> secure sensitive information in a database, secure your hosting, maintain security updates to those hosts, undergo audits, keep up with changing regulations, keep up with the latest threat vulnerabilities, staff a full response team in case something happens

To be fair of the things you've described, if you can swing it, you should be doing most of this regardless for a business setup. Specific to HIPAA would be the auditing and 'changing regulations' (and depending on client needs, you'll likely have other audits for business needs).

I'm going through a gap analysis for HIPAA now; would you mind sharing what impactful changing regulations you've seen in the past 5 years?

> The more reasonable assertion is that it takes good people to get good results regardless of the quality of the tool.

> Acolytes are uncomfortable saying this because it also destroys the negative case, which is, it would be impossible to write quality software in a previous generation language.

Not impossible, just a lot harder. It's as if you're thinking in equations that are true/false, while I'm thinking in statistical distributions.

Have you used Macintosh System 5? How about Windows 3.1? Those were considered quality systems at the time, but standards are up, way up since then.

Why are modern systems better? Is it because we have better developers today? -- I don't think so. It took a "real" programmer to write quality apps in Pascal for early Macintosh systems, or apps in C for Windows 3.1.

I think the difference is in the tooling that is available to us -- and modern programming languages (and libraries) are surely a very large part of that tooling.

If you disagree, I challenge you to find a seasoned modern desktop app developer who can write a high-quality app for MacOS or Windows that looks and functions great by modern standards and doesn't use any modern languages or directly invoke any non-vendor libraries built after the year 2000. It's possible[0]. They may be able to do it, but you must certainly concede that doing a great job requires a much better developer than the average modern desktop app developer to be able to work well under those kinds of constraints.

That's what I mean by "raising the floor" -- all software gets better when languages, libraries, and tooling improve.

Do the rich people really matter, are there enough of them to do so? A thousand billionaires with a one thousand times larger footprint are still only equivalent to a million people, i.e. not even one percent of the US population. I do not know and have a hard time guessing how much the rich really matter.

Next I guess you have to assume that everyone in the world raises its living standard to the highest living standard in the world, people will not accept to permanently have a lower living standard than others. Essentially divide the available resources by the number of all humans, that is what you have to work with, people currently below that will eventually demand their fair share.

And thinking about it some more, do we even have any footprint to divide up? There are, as far as I know, no fast natural carbon sinks, so we can not emit any carbon dioxide at all without raising atmospheric carbon levels.
Bad comparison.

How would they know? I suspect there's some selection bias at play here because it might not be legal to discriminate on this basis.

That's a strawman. The discussion doesn't concern people who "like to take naked photos"; it concerns people who do it for money. Depending on your values, that can be a significant difference.
The concept of "pristine wilderness" is indeed a myth, shaped by Euro-American ideas of nature as something untouched by humans. Indigenous peoples have been actively managing and shaping landscapes for thousands of years, through practices like controlled burns, multi-cropping, and sustainable harvesting. However, colonial narratives of the "frontier" ignored this history, framing these lands as wild and uninhabited, which justified their conquest and later shaped early conservation policies.

These narratives still impact our policies today. When we frame conservation as keeping nature "untrammeled by man," we erase indigenous histories and practices that have long sustained ecosystems. IMO, conservation efforts that aim to separate humans from nature often harm both, as seen in the forced removal of indigenous peoples from national parks. A more nuanced approach would recognize that human interaction with nature isn’t inherently destructive and that indigenous stewardship offers valuable lessons in sustainable land management. Embracing this perspective could lead to more effective conservation policies and a healthier relationship with nature, where human presence is viewed as potentially harmonious rather than inherently damaging.

You thought if you're a minority then you could just waltz on in and get a job because of DEI?

That's laughably, but also dangerously, naive. Naive as in you must still be pretty wet behind the ears, as they say. Naive as in you haven't been around in the working world all that long, or if you have, you've been amazingly imperceptive to what's been going on around you.

As a general rule of thumb, the OP is correct, minorities tend to have a significantly higher level of education and work experience for the jobs they're applying for. If the job requires a bachelor's degree, they'll have a masters. If the job requires 5 years' experience, they'll have 10. That sort of thing.

After they get hired, they'll have to endure their workmates talking behind their back that it was only because of DEI.
