But sounds like they accepted the job but just didn’t do it well. There’s no excuse for that.
I guess this doesn't take into account semiconductors that go to China to be used in devices manufactured there, and then sold to other countries? I'd have thought that wealthy and IT-heavy USA together with other countries in the Americas (1B people) are buying more end products with semiconductors than China. Also, Europe (wealthy 9% of world pop) probably buys more semiconductors (in end products) than 11%.
Nah. They’re just plainly and proudly wrong. Nothing admirable about that, it’s essentially the default state of human kind.

Fair point, I stand corrected on that one. Should have checked more thoroughly before posting.

That site doesn't render right on my mobile, which I was on at the time, so couldn't read the contents.

That doesn't sound very efficient if all you got is an M-mode-only chip though.

In any event, you also have extensions like Ztso[2], which even the spec says to just let the binary crash in event of non-presence, or Zam[3] which you technically could emulate but surely would be dog slow.

It's a post about a memory safe TLS stack outperforming the dominant memory unsafe TLS stack, with metrics. The only observation that detractors are making is that, as with virtually every TLS stack, the lowest-level cryptography primitives are done in assembly. Ok, and?

As I understand it, Ukraine is mostly getting old outdated equipment, and Israel is actually buying weapons, not just receiving them as gifts.
I think this "problem" stems directly from the fact that the geographic model of governments is extremely unsuited for governing on the internet.

In times past, Governments could e.g. regulate the quality of coke, control election misinformation or forbid burglaries on their own soil, because they had law enforcement who could imprison people doing these things against the law. What happened outside of their borders was mostly of no concern to them.

If Coca Cola wanted to sell their products in Germany, they needed people in Germany willing to sell it, and those people were directly vulnerable to imprisonment by German law enforcement, so they had to care about and follow German law. Even if the original corporation wasn't involved directly, there were always vendors, importers, store owners and such, and all of them could be targeted to some extend.

Tech companies are different, you can make a product on the internet that interacts with the data of the majority of German citizens, without ever stepping foot in Germany or even realizing that a country called Germany exists and has laws. If Germany doesn't like the fact that this product exists, there isn't much they can do.

For now, most countries still have some semblance of control, usually backed by the power of international treaties, DNS blocking and control over payment infrastructure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the prevalence of fast and affordable satellite internet on one hand and easier access to crypto on the other will make the situation even worse.
It’s probably related to this:

> “I moved across the country to work here, for a seasonal job,” she says. “We have people who have worked here for 10 years as seasonals, and made a career out of these positions. They trusted that the jobs wouldn’t go away.”

I suspect the other part of these careers involve seasonal work that covers a different part of the year, such as working at ski resorts.
I’ve seen users on Reddit use “remind me” bots for this kind of thing, so maybe you could use something similar? Future-dated blog posts with RSS/Atom notifications/feed subscriptions?
There's different types of work, the on duty time you describe is what I would call being paid to be available to work during certain hours. My work is like this, I do 9-5 or similar hours, any jobs come into during that time, I work on them as needed. Some days are quiet, some very busy, work is somewhat elastic while time and hourly rate is fixed.

This applies to a lot of jobs these days, even from something like retail or hospitality worker or at the more extreme end you have the likes of an on call engineer or firefighter, mostly being paid to be ready to respond to the need to work, but not being guaranteed that it will happen. This type of work doesn't really respond to more hours being more productive. It may to a certain extent that if the shop is open long maybe more customers will come in but it's not guaranteed and there may be diminishing returns as you are paying employees for their time so you need to be making or saving more money having them available to work.

Most people still conceptualise work as something more like factory work or mining or labouring even something like legal work to some extent, where you have a set amount of output each hour and so more working hours should mean more production output to a certain extent. In this case work, hourly rate and time is fairly fixed and not that elastic.

Then there the type of job where the work is fixed, but the time and hourly rate can be very elastic, this is more contractor, startup, even parts of the military, where you need to complete a task or objective maybe to a deadline but the the time or cost can vary significantly depending on what's important. This is more the business owner, sole contractor or equity earning employee where they can potentially get a bigger payout by putting in more effort or else working more efficiently.

People who don't hike or use nature recreationally tend to view it as completely useless.

They do have a bit of a point. The asset isn't really being maintained. It's being maintained for human use as recreation. Overall you don't need to really maintain wilderness to preserve it. Overall you just leave it untouched.

You would actually do a better job if you locked down the entire area and just spent the money on keeping everyone out as my own self fish usage of nature as recreation harms it more then it helps it.
I don't have a specific answer to this as I'm not a trained historian. However, didn't we see this with the invention of the printing press back 500+ years ago? That also dramatically increased knowledge distribution and probably lies and mistruths. How did society handle that?

Serious question: What wages and benefits were you offering for what jobs, and how did that compare to the other jobs available regionally? What kind of advancement did you offer?

If you are offering top compensation and still finding everyone flakes out, we have a serious problem.

If you are offering less than average for similar jobs, it is not the slightest bit surprising that the only people willing to start work at that job tend to flake out.

If you are offering less than a living wage, you did not have a viable business model (if you need to exploit other humans in dire straits to sustain operations, you have an exploitation model, not a business model).
Reputation is the usual solution. You build a community and you know who to trust, like humans have always done.

The early internet was mostly that (BBS, Usenet, forums). But on the modern internet we mostly consume random google sites & TikTok accounts that are probably bots.

FAANG has actively replaced following with algorithmic feeds because they're more profitable.

Well, you asked what was wrong with it, and I answered. If you don't bother to read the answer to the question you asked, that's on you.

I do agree that a division-by-zero exception is a good example of a runtime error, and—as I said in the comment you are purportedly responding to!—that the examples are intended to refer to common errors. (However, most of them fail to do so, evidently due to the ignorance of the authors.)

I would get pissed off at physics textbooks that said air resistance didn't exist, but I haven't ever seen such a bad physics textbook—and I've seen some pretty bad physics textbooks!

The rest of your comment is completely incorrect, and the personal attacks in your comment do not rise to the level of discourse desired on this site. It seems like you missed the main points of my comment, in several cases responding to my reasoned arguments with simple contradiction, and are unaware of the intended audiences of the SWEBOK.

Simplification is not only fine but a sine qua non for high-level summaries of a field. And simplifications are always in some sense erroneous. But the objective of simplification in a summary is to lead the reader toward the truth, even if you can't quite reach it—you can formulate the ballistics ODEs including air resistance much more easily once you've learned to handle the simplified version without. However, when someone doesn't understand the field, they often produce a "simplification" that includes lots of incorrect unnecessary detail and which is broadly misleading, and that is what happened in this case, as I explained in detail in my comment above. Someone who knew nothing about runtime errors would know less than nothing about them after reading that "simplification".

And the document goes on for hundreds of pages at this atrocious quality level.
That's not true. The Appalachians were basically clear cut in the 1800s.

Germany is notorious for banning, restricting, or altering, a huge number of tech products from smartphones to video games, with practically perfect compliance after a valid court order is issued.

I don't care about what the organizations decide to do, that's their private business. The states shouldn't be offering them the ability to put up a candidate using a separate mechanism.

So for instance, in that scenario, the backup strategy is for there to be several candidates aligned with the organization that seek ballot access, and then the organization can endorse one of them to try to concentrate votes. Versus the situation now where the organization can name their candidate later in the process and ensure that votes are concentrated.

This would of course make things worse for 2024 Harris, but probably not to the extent that they would have for 2016 Trump.
And people who have no experience feel incredibly entitled to judge others.

A job has a value. A business cannot pay more than that, or they will not be able to remain a going concern. Businesses cannot simply raise their prices in a competitive market, nor can they operate at a loss to pay their employees more.

You might be surprised how little bottom-line profit most small businesses generate. It's maybe a few percent above what a savings account would pay. If they can't earn enough to compensate for their risk and time, owners will just close up.
Spaceflight is not what you want to be picking as a point of comparison if you want to talk about funding government agencies.

I once had an idea of turning Conway's Life into music, but never finished it. I wanted to make it interactive but never figured out how to make it user friendly. Also, I haven't figured out how to use audio compressor in browser, so some positions were clipping very hard.

So I left it in the state where the only thing you can do is to listen to ten descending gliders and that's it :)

Surprisingly, it still works, except now you have to click/tap anywhere on the screen to make the sound play. I think that 9 years ago browsers didn't have this feature and allowed sound to play right away.

Interesting fact, but is it really necessary to go to those lengths? Surely something like a handgun or detonated explosive would be cheaper and just as effective (though less fun). I don't think this use case needs the vehicle to be armored.
That's a really cool idea.

The main attack vector would then probably be some man-in-the-middle intercepting the signal from your wearable, which leads me to wonder whether you could protect yourself by having the responses valid for only an extremely short duration, e.g. ~1ms, such that there's no way for an attacker to do anything with the token unless they gain control over compute inside your house.
No kidding; and while RISC-V is a massive improvement, I hate to be the wet blanket, but RISC-V will not change signed boot, bootloader restrictions, messy or closed source drivers, carrier requirements, DRM implementation, or other painful day to day paper cuts.

It's because there aren't any additional people, the ones who managed the cloud resources now manage the on-prem resources:

Healthcare has the extra complication of HIPAA / equivalent local laws, and institutions being extremely unwilling to process patient data on devices they don't directly control.

I don't think this is going to work in that industry until local models get good enough to do it, and small enoguh to be affordable to hospitals.
And as a result they're way less remarkable than the older forests.

Both are plagued with inefficiencies but the military is largely the most useless expense because we aren't at any huge risk that justifies this level of spending.

The insidious take over of security by the smart phone is what worries me the most. I can't pay my taxes, access healthcare or even sign-on to my job without using my phone any more.

If somebody said 25 years ago that access to government services would be completely privatised there would have been uproar. Not only did we consent to this, we did it willingly in exchange for convenience. Now we are screwed.

Americans used to be all gung-ho about "those who give up freedom for security will not be free or secure" but it's much worse than that. We gave up security for convenience and handed everything about ourselves to an unscrupulous bunch of billionaires who are intent on replacing government wholesale, and we will be paying them while they do it.
Sexual abuse accusations are favored these days because they're easy to fabricate yet highly damaging to a persons' reputation.

The DoD has a "black budget", but that's money you don't get a breakdown of, not money you don't know about: it's voted in by Congress as a blind total. Total spending is profoundly tilted towards non-defense spending (even more so if you include state and local government spending, but that's not germane to the Forest Service) --- the amount of "secret" money going to defense, if it existed, would have to be economy-breaking to alter the balance.
