The Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, describes it as such. I imagine if pressed he'd argue that Israel is attacking Hezbollah and not Lebanon, but given the extreme civil dysfunction in Lebanon it's equally arguable that Hezbollah is the de facto government for a lot of the country.

where did this meme come from that you can do house work and child care while working remote?

It's not remotely true. Child care is a full time job. You might be able to move laundry around while tests run but that's about it.

If people are neglecting their jobs enough to take care of kids then they're giving ammo to the management class to argue that they can't trust us.
I agree. The $600M number seems way too much.

>Though, what I've historically seen is that only 10-20% of the funding request actually go to the software vendor. Organizations typically add 3-5x additional to either "pad" their request (in the event it doesn't get 'fully funded') and/or this is an opportunity for the university to higher for a bunch of roles they wouldn't have been able to get funded in the first place - so lots of things get buried in these numbers.

As someone working on implementing an Oracle solution for a large bureaucratic MNC this is also true. The padding often is 3x-5x with 5 year run rate the funding asks can be crazy. For people who are just looking at numbers it can seem crazy. But for anyone who is implementing it or renewing contracts they know the real numbers.

The migration costs though might be higher than $10-20M. Contractor costs can be crazy too. Sometimes costing multiples of the software costs.

In my current practice I do notice that the vendors - both software and third party implementation partners - have a chummy relationship with a decision maker. This creates a lot of misaligned incentives when it comes to "company's" money.
Morris Chang, the founder of TSMC was reported [1] by Nikkei Asia in March 2023 as saying this about the work culture:

> "Design is the U.S.'s competitiveness. On the other hand, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea have competitiveness in manufacturing...It's also about the work culture and the people."

> The TSMC founder cited chip production equipment as an example. Because these machines are so expensive, they need to be running 24 hours a day to justify their cost. "If it breaks down at 1 in the morning, in the U.S. it will be fixed in the next morning, but in Taiwan, it will be fixed at 2 a.m."

> "If an engineer [in Taiwan] gets a call when he is asleep, he will wake up and start dressing. His wife will ask: 'What's the matter?' He would say: 'I need to go to the factory.' The wife will go back to sleep without saying another word," Chang said. "This is the work culture."

Many major employers also hold investments in commercial property. Empty offices lose value.

Someone somewhere got in their excel that loss of productivity from RTO is lower than potential loss of the property investments.
That’s a legit issue. What’s the value of changing a deep seated process?

I have definitely seen examples on both sides of that question. Especially in a place like a public university with multiple collective bargaining agreements. The unions aren’t going to accept significant change without some sort of cost.

Typically, since processes are built around the system, nobody understands the actual business needs.
> The transition from using a LLM as a text generator to knowledge engine has been a gamechanger, and it has been driven entirely by prompt engineering

Because it's based on guesses and not data of how the model is built. Also, it hasn't been solved nor is it yet a game changer as far as the market at large is concerned, it's still dramatically unready.
> People never really trusted Veracrypt though

Can you expand on this? It was my understanding that Veracrypt is the new de-facto standard.
Decline of state capacity after the 1978 abolishment of the Civil Service Commission. There were poor gatekeeping controls in place afterwards and employee quality gradually declined. Now anybody with any sort of intelligence, drive or ambition works in the private sector. Salary is one aspect, but so is the desire to avoid working with people who are dumb and never get fired.
I honestly believe that they closed things up not because of concerns about "safety and security" but because it was the most profitable thing to do. Other groups are publishing models that are just as good (maybe with a bit of lag compared to OpenAI), and OpenAI seems to have gutted their own safety teams.

The fact that OpenAI removed their ban on military use of the models[1] seems to be a sign that security and safety aren't the highest concern.

Gas is lower margin than the other things in a convenience store, but they sell enough more gas than anything else that much of the money is there. I haven't checked in 10 years, but at one time I did read the share holders information from a convenience store and for that brand it was about 1/3 gas, 1/3 tobacco, 1/3 everything else. Tobacco is very high margin but very few people buy it. The everything is is a nice high margin, and most people buy, but they don't buy every trip. Gas is what gets people in the doors and often is all people get.
The current trend as far as I can tell is that it's easier than it used to be to host a web server. So that also has long term implications.

It's really tricky to predict exactly what web servers will do, but I don't see any reason to think it well ever be hard to set one up. You're fixating on a very specific warning and the way you're extrapolating into the future assumes that half the software changes but the other half doesn't. It just doesn't work well to predict things. And we already have solutions, they're just used less because HTTP/1 is so easy.

Another thing to consider is that the number of household devices that need access is growing rapidly. We're not going to break them all.

The attack wasn't as targeted as you seem to think. It also hit health workers and bystanders. Approx half the casualties are civilians (including children).

According to Humans rights watch: https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/09/18/lebanon-exploding-pagers...

> Thousands of pagers simultaneously exploded across Lebanon and parts of Syria on September 17, 2024, resulting in at least 12 deaths, including at least two children and two health workers, and at least 2,800 injuries, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health.

That’s absurd. By that logic Europeans would also have defended Chat Control, but that wasn’t the case. A person doesn’t become a blind zealot because they think differently from you.

No, you choose to see it that way.

> blaming the businesses for engaging in a legal activity

Perhaps you’re too attached to the rule of law. Being legal does not mean being right, moral, or generally good. Slavery was legal at one point and then it wasn’t. Lead paint was legal and then it wasn’t. Those things weren’t good when they were legal. Companies knowingly engage in harmful legal behaviours every day.

Why does no one on the inside even seem to acknoledge is publicly (I've seen enough internal discussions in the private sector to know they do complain on the inside)?

#1. 401ks weren't really designed. They fell out of some tax law changes.

#2. (Given #3.) Really isn't a big deal. You don't need to maximize returns. You can come up with a reasonable fire and (mostly) forget investment strategy without being a financial genius. I keep my eye on some of my portfolio but mostly leave it alone. It seems to infantilize working class people to assume they can't make the most rudimentary investment decisions on their own. Maybe we shouldn't let them buy houses either.

The thing with data pipelines is they have a linear execution. You start from the top and work your way down.

Notebooks do that, and even leave a trace while doing it. Table outputs, plots, etc.

It is not like a python backend that listens to events and handle them as they come, sometimes even in parallel.

For data flow, the code has an inherent direction.

I wonder if it’s even dumber than that. Entirely separate from the paging network and tuned to listen for a pulse at a specific RF frequency and then blow up.

Also gives the ability to target certain geographic areas.

But even if listening to pager spectrum, the paging network is incredibly insecure. Anyone could send out fake pages with the right RF setup (e.g. from a drone).

It's far too early for anyone to know that with certainty. And (for what feels like the nth time), Hezbollah is not just a bunch of guys with weapons, it's the civil administration in large parts of the country.

Also if the situation were reversed and Hezbollah carried out an attack like this on the IDF, I really doubt the Israelis would just suck it up and say 'oh well occupational hazard of military life, guess we'll retaliate somehow.'

People say stupid shit. When you have a place where anyone can publish anything, you wind up with a lot of people publishing a lot of stuff you don't like.

You don't get to decide what sort of discourse or ideas are getting published. Nobody does. That's just part and parcel. You can block people, ignore people, but networks have their character.

The best network IMO for free speech is nostr. There are no controlled or verified identities, censorship is almost impossible. But it has it's character. The content there is the content there. It's mostly bitcoiners. Go use it stand talk about other things if you don't like that aspect.

Honestly, it would be more surprising to me if this sort of thing never happened. In politics it happens fairly regularly (entryism, agent provocateurs etc.) so why wouldn't it happen in business? It would take even less coordination, all it would take is a bit of personal loyalty between top leaders which - shock and horror! - didn't disappear when one of them changed company.
IIRC there were a lot more options by the time of the Truecrypt-Veracrypt shift. Truecrypt was around when drive encryption was otherwise an expensive enterprise software thing, but I think Bitlocker was included with Pro versions of Windows by the time of Veracrypt so that probably became the easiest free option - and probably with better compatibility as well.
