Most of the country works in the service sector. It's not like I'm some kind of out of touch elite.

The ones who are most hurt by tariffs, most affected by higher prices, are the working class. Sure, the workers of the specific industries that are lucky enough to be protected, the ones with the most persuasive lobbies, will certainly benefit. But every other worker will be a little worse off.

If you are concerned about the people who got hurt by globalization, maybe the government should collect money from people like us and spend it on people like them. They can set up the tax in such a way that rich people pay the most.

But if you use tariffs to help the people who got hurt by globalization, you cannot set it up in such a careful way. It's a blunt instrument that hurts productivity across the board and increases the prices to the end consumer. It becomes an implicit tax that poor people pay the most. An actual explicit tax would hurt much less.
It can get tough with the native dependencies involved.
SF's watchword is "MORE FUNDING". Money is like violence: if it isn't working, you aren't using enough.
Anything you create in software should be able to fit in someone else's head. I.e., you should be able to think of it as a tractable arrangement of abstractions that let you reason about it in a precise, non-leaky way.

Those abstractions don't just poof into existence after the project is complete, though. You have to design them into the system and communicate them to the people who need them.

The abstractions also need to be precise and non-leaky enough to be useful. One of the most dangerous talents in software is the ability to create the illusion of tractability by using vague language. You can create an absolute mess and then describe it to management in a way that makes it sound well-understood. This is the most lucrative and destructive skill a consultant can have.
Quoting from your sources:

> The idea of the sabich sandwich was most likely created in Iraq

Yeah, it's about as Israeli as chicken schnitzel. It's just a regular Iraqi eggplant sandwich.

> Israeli folk dances were created as way of helping to create a new Israeli culture in the land of Israel

At least the developers of that folk dance appreciate the fact that there was (and still is) a distinct lack of any sort of national culture and have to _develop it_. Even still, from your source, these newly developed dances haven't reached any level of mainstream success save for the Horah which is Southern/Eastern European.

Note the original comment: "Israeli Jews would just be absorbed into whatever local culture they're in, just as they were prior to the formation of Israel."

Here's a thought: someone "trustworthy" should maintain a Chrome extension or Tapermonkey script that automatically scrapes data from various social media sites in a fully anonymized fashion. As people browse Twitter, Reddit, or XYZ, the posts/comments are sent to some aggregation system. It might be against TOS, but certainly far less than scraping, and you couldn't tell, as it's the user driving what gets scraped.

I don't use Twitter often, but I'd run something like that if there were strong anonymity guarantees. Seems like a win-win for everyone.

Does anything like this exist today?

If you are worried about legal action, you can buy a seedbox anonymously in some 3rd world country to host your stuff. People use those a lot for private trackers in the bittorrent world, so I figure same applies to webtorrent.

Of course, you can just go without p2p and just do client-server. That's a bit slower though, but you could do that over tor or something.

In the long run, maybe you could figure out webtorrent over i2p, I've heard p2p has had some success over i2p with applications like i2psnark but IDK as i've never used it and IDK how it would interact with WebRTC data streams (might need some sort of proxy?)
Indeed. CA's impact on election outcomes was likely negligible; Antonio Martínez's "Chaos Monkeys" makes the case that Trump using CA was more indicative of the overall notion that Trump's team was spending money to try a bit of everything (online and offline) and the Clinton campaign wasn't. Their tactical failure was believing they could redirect the money to down-ticket races because Clinton / Trump was such an obvious matchup that they didn't need to spend to win.

What CA did show was that Facebook's statements about protecting user privacy were fundamentally incompatible with the way their API worked, so they had to shut it down because the alternative would have been to just sort of... Let it hang in the air that it wasn't hard for a third-party to build a system to completely bypass user intent in scoping their information.

(I had the misfortune of trying to write a Facebook app about fifteen years prior, and that was my takeaway at the time also... "Do people, like, realize that their whole process for protecting scraping the social network via third-party app integration is the honor system?" Turns out people didn't).

> There is a statutory maximum benefit that PBGC can pay. Participants receive the lower of their
benefit as calculated under the plan or the statutory maximum benefit. If a participant’s benefit is
higher than the statutory maximum benefit, the participant’s benefit is reduced. Participants in
single-employer plans that terminate in 2021 and are trusteed by PBGC may receive up to
$72,409 per year if they begin taking their pension at the age of 65. The single-employer
maximum benefit is adjusted depending on the age at which the participant begins taking the
benefit and on the form of the benefit (e.g., the maximum benefit is lower for a joint-and-survivor
annuity). The maximum benefit for participants in multiemployer plans that receive financial
assistance depends on the number of years of service in the plan. For example, a participant with
30 years of service may receive up to $12,870 per year. Currently, most workers in singleemployer plans taken over by PBGC and multiemployer plans that receive financial assistance
from PBGC receive the full pension benefit that they earned.

> However, among participants in
multiemployer plans that were terminated and likely to need financial assistance in the future,
49% have a benefit below the PBGC maximum guarantee and 51% have a benefit larger than the
PBGC maximum guarantee (and therefore, would see a benefit reduction).
At the end of FY2020, PBGC had a total deficit of $48.2 billion, which consisted of a $15.5
billion surplus from the single-employer program and a $63.7 billion deficit from the
multiemployer program. PBGC’s single-employer program has been on the Government
Accountability Office’s (GAO’s) list of high-risk government programs since 2003. PBGC’s
multiemployer program was added in 2009. PBGC projects the financial position of the singleemployer program is likely to continue to improve, but the financial position of the
multiemployer program is expected to worsen considerably over the next 10 years.

The shortfall will eventually be made up from the general fund, funded by taxpayers. But, we are in the weeds unnecessarily. The PBGC should be a last resort, based on the above context.
Tariffs that merely offset subsidies in the other country has zero net effect on competition, and doesn't harm producers on either side unduely.

The net effect is merely a net transfer from the foreign government to the domestic one.

Tariffs that go BEYOND the subsidies in the foreign country has a net protectionist effect. This CAN cause stagnation in the industry in question. But less so if there is still healthy domestic competition.

Subsidies are potentially the most destructive measure. This is especially true for protectionist subsidies, and less so for export subsidies. But in general, subsides sets up a cash transfer facility between a government and local industry, often removing incentives to innovate. In turn, this means that the subsidies need to increase year by year to have the desired effect.

This can lead to the subsidized industry dying a sudden death once public patience for the growing subisides (and so the subisides themselves) come to an end.

> They should have mandated this be honoured (or any other type of tech)

GDPR mandates honoring user consent.

It's a general data protection regulation. It doesn't talk about specific technologies.

What "this". Should there be a separate law for browsers? And a separate law for mobile apps? And a separate law for desktop apps? And a separate law for offline businesses? And...

Or should we blame the people and industries who couldn't care less about user privacy?
I've had the opposite experience. Any attempt to adapt processes to an off-the-shell tool have always been a subpar experience for everyone. I've brought a few of these in house as fully custom software and the end result has been a better user experience and faster changes. If we can buy something that fits the need, we will. But if we can't, we build. And we build a fair bit.

I disagree with "the organization is likely less unique than you think". If you're big enough you will have unique requirements that nobody else has. I'm in the middle of that now in a project to install some industry standard software that runs the whole business and we have to customize and add custom integration into it. I wouldn't want to build software this complex in house but if I was given the resources and tasked to do it, I could, and it would be better.

I'm not sure I'm in full agreement with this. Yes your network has a big impact on your success, but your network is going to be a lot more helpful if you're a skilled developer who delivers.

Put another way, if you put in the effort to become a consistently excellent developer, that's most definitely not going to hurt your career prospects. If you're mediocre and cause problems people will be less likely to refer you.
Not quite true, especially not for the higher end research universities.

The University of Washington is projected to spend $2B on modernizing IT infrastructure (which does seem like a reasonable amount).

In that number though is $340M to update it's accounting system. Not quite directly comparable to $600M for HR, but not completely perpendicular either
>Economics is not a science. We cannot execute the scientific method on Economics because we have no way to repeat and or establish controls needed to understand results.

I would say that all of those solutions are pretty technical heavy, often being touted as "developer platforms" or "for technical teams." We're trying to help people with little to no developer experience get from 0 to 1 in automations much quicker and easier.
what alternatives would you propose?

2. Israel sending smart bombs with much higher collateral damage?

3. an engraved invitation later to members (hehe) of heznobollas to come and be fired upon in an open space to avoid kids?

Lot of people don't care about spending someone else's money efficiently. And in some cases spending more will make them look better and lead to better opportunities. And this happens on every level, lot of employees just don't care. And those that might probably focus on wrong things.

And no software people are no better, going for expensive tools, expensive cloud spending or just next shiny thing is often argued with some time to market or future scaling excuse. Or just wanting to do something different.

The OpenTelemetry spec is a mess. There's so much … abstract blah blah blah? … and very little actual details.

If I actually go to the part of the spec that I think gets down to "here is how to concretely write OpenTelemetry stuff [1], that seems to have the various attributes camelCased, for example, whereas the article has named them "spanID" and "traceID".

AFAICT the "spec" also just links you to the implementation. "Just" read this protobuf definition, translate that to JSON in your mind's eye. I "POST" this to a hard-coded path tacked onto a URL… but do I post individual traces/logs? Can I batch them? I'm sure there's a gRPC thing I could start guessing from…

But it seems like the JSON stuff is a second class citizen from the gRPC interface. Unless that's just as bad, too…

Actually getting set up in Python isn't too terrible, though there are a few classes that you're like "what's the point of this?" and most of them are apparently just undoc'd. (E.g., [2], ^F TraceProvider, get nothing.)

It is a bit depressing how this seems to be becoming The Chosen Spec.

I also sort of have 64-bit integers for span IDs (TFA never mentions it, but AFAICT this is required by spec). I'd much rather have "/span/ids/are/a/tree" span IDs, as this integrates much better with any logging system: I can easily ask my log viewer to filter to a specific span (span_id == "/spans/a/b/c") or to a subtree (span_id regex-matches /^\/spans\/a\/.*/)

(And the spec bizarrely focuses on some sort of language-abstract API, instead of … actual data types / media types?)

Roskomnadzor's 2018 escapade with Telegram under a rather similar situation - their attempts to block it ended up taking out vast sections of the internet (for Russians) that didn't have anything to do with Telegram.

Tying your service to vital internet infrastructure can work. It doesn't even have to be a particularly ironclad solution. In 2018, the powers that be in Russia decided it's cheaper to flood Telegram with their own propaganda, rather than block it.

I have always understood self-hosting to mean being in charge of your applications and data instead of delegating it to a company. An example might be, setting up Nextcloud instead of Dropbox. Or Taiga instead of Trello.

WHERE and HOW it is hosted, is less important to me. Because if you self-host your own tools, you can freely pick them up and move them to any hosting provider, a cloud provider, or a Raspberry Pi in your basement. Self-hosting FREES you from infra/vendor lock-in.
In any sustainable role you should get some natural lulls here and there where you can do a little extra during work hours. I don't intentionally block time out, but if a few hours present themselves I'll often take advantage of the extra time.

It's not entirely unrelated to your job if it's making you better in your current role. And if your employer doesn't contribute to your growth, you really need to take it into your own hands.

While PTFE is much more inert than common glass and even than borosilicate glass, it is not a good material for food storage.

The reason is that PTFE, like any plastic, is porous, so it can never be perfectly cleaned, but it will retain embedded in it some residues of the food previously stored in it. This can lead just to some undesirable smell, but in appropriate temperature and humidity conditions it can also lead to the growth of bacteria.

For food storage and handling, the best food-contact materials remain glasses or metals, which can be cleaned perfectly.

Exactly this! I recall a large survey of SAP deployment projects in the late 1990s. By far the most successful consultancy, out of Chicago I think it was, had it written in their contracts "you'll change your business processes to match SAP; not SAP to match your existing business processes" (more or less). By turning away clients who could not accept that, they had happy clients, happy employees (little burn out), and no runaway costly never-ending death march projects.

> That warning showed the patient's white blood cell count was "really, really high," recalled Bell, the clinical nurse educator for the hospital's general medicine program.

I’m not sure how an alarm for “high white cell count” should have had so much impact. Here in China once the doctor prescribes a finger blood test, we sample finger blood after lining up for 15 minutes, and the result is available within 30 minutes. The patient prints the results from a kiosk and any patient who cares enough about their own health will see the exceptionally high white cell count and request an urgent appointment with the doctor for diagnosis right away. Even in normal cases we usually have the doctor see the report within two hours. Why wait several hours?

> While the nursing team usually checked blood work around noon, the technology flagged incoming results several hours beforehand.

> But in health care, he stressed, these tools have immense potential to combat the staff shortages plaguing Canada's health-care system by supplementing traditional bedside care.

This sounds like the deaths prevented by this tech are caused by delays and staff shortage and what this tech does is to prioritize patients with serious issues? While I appreciate using new tools to cut deaths, it looks like the elephant in the room is staff shortage?
