Check out pictures or videos of ‘people in wheelchairs’ at Southwest Airline gates who sit in a wheelchair simply for priority boarding.

Also, security blanket animals, I forgot the actual term they use but that’s what they are.
Unfortunately you'd probably have to discount the teams that never switched to WFH. The same reasons that likely drove that decision would mean they're unlikely to be good comparators to teams that had a choice.
While I do agree with the spirit of this, doesn't this mean that any fees that brokers require will be included in the rent?
I'm trying this out literally right now and it got fooled by an unscheduled stop due to train traffic. It thought we were already at the next stop and took a bit to get its bearings again.

At least in NYC it should listen for door beeps.
I think the parent is saying that the guardian is being hypocritical.
No! For example, I’m a terrible artist, but I don’t think in words. So I think images, but it doesn’t cross over to my aesthetic abilities.

But I wonder if the process of building up words from phonemes or syllables in your mind somehow maps differently from doing it with ideograms.
In theory, it is designed to be resistant to being partial to any one side. And is pretty decent at it. However, being a social system it can be gamed, and sometimes is gamed.
As long as Zuck controls Facebook (sorry, “Meta”), Elon controls Twitter (sorry, “X”),

off topic, but one thing I always wonder is why the press goes along with company re-branding? If everyone knows it as Twitter or Meta, wouldn't the easiest thing be to just keep referring to it that way in your articles etc and not help the company in its massive undertaking of changing everyone's name for the product?
I left pretty soon after lockdowns, the writing was on the wall for me. Both on the flexibility, and the direction. It was also around the time the CEO announced he didn't want to be a company paying top market rates for top people.

Given the contract I had stated on-site, I found a fully remote role offering 30k more.

The stock price seems to have settled in the past year but I still think it's overvalued. They're slower than ever, and talent seems to be draining slowly.
Beautifully put. Of course I have to agree.
Maybe he shouldn’t have been arrested in the first place?
Misrepresenting my comments as you have done shows how weak your position is. Don't bother replying further as I will not read it.
They probably have a different definition of what is "necessary" than you. If waiting for further crimes to be committed makes the case more of a sure thing in their eyes) then it's necessary. Or if it gives them more serious crimes to prosecute or a higher up person to prosecute. I believe this is common in organized crime investigations.
It's a comparison of two CPU/iGPU combos I have on my desk with similar power draw. Those iGPUs are most power efficient for video editing as I like QuickSync from Intel.

The i5-1135G7 (17W TDP) has 2 Media Engines which I use for proxy generation in parallel for example and pretty versatile so I use it daily (64GB RAM..).

Still, I think it's a notable achievement to get 4x performance with the M4 for video at similar wattage of the i5. I don't have an M4 MacBook but I guess the M4 would perform similar to the one in the Mac mini.
Just connect the device and got it going. Wonderful experience. Thanks for the great product
Tenth Approach: fork() two processes.

Child 1 exec()s the command.

Child 2 does this:

signal(SIGALRM, alarm_handler);
alarm(timeout_length);
pause();
exit(0);

Start both children, then call wait(), which blocks until any child exits and returns the pid of the child that exited. If it's the command child, then your command finished. If it's the other child, then the timeout expired.

Now that one child has exited, kill() the other child with SIGTERM and reap it by calling wait() again.

All of this assumes you'll only have these two children going, but if you're writing a small exponential backoff command retry utility, that should be OK.
People get motivated in different ways, but I definitely would be worried if I saw someone waste $1M to further their own career and didn't feel any anger at all. That doesn't mean hauling off and punching them in the face, but there's no way I'd bother starting a business to tackle these problems if I wasn't deeply emotional about it.
Landlords can shop around and brokers will have to compete on price. A potential renter has no ability to pick a different broker.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's even more straightforward than that. They've got some very expensive office space that's extremely under-utilised, and they're probably at risk of the rent getting raised on a lot of it unless they can increase footfall.
Your comment is so vague I can't tell which political camp you're talking about. I suspect you'll get upvotes from all sides :)
The Four Stages of Objective-Smalltalk

Its first two stages are just that, but it has moved beyond, for good reasons.

Was he arrested? The article only mentions a search.
I just don't understand why Amazon hates its employees so much. These are the people making you billions and billions of dollars. And their jobs very clearly do not require them to work in an office, nor does it sap productivity, as years of experience and multiple studies confirm. And people could previously work in the office if they wanted to, so it's not like anyone was alienated before.

It's like the execs are just sadists. There's no upside.
In your opinion, what mistakes were made?
You say "it's wild" and then give a reasonable explanation in the next sentence. Is it wild, or not?

And are you implying that the Guardian is being "run off" because it wants X to be an echo chamber? You don't think it's a bot-infested hellhole of hate, but some den of thoughtful, nuanced, balanced discussion?
> For instance, find a group of teams that work on a similar function, have some of the teams RTO, and have some WFH, and see if there is any tangible difference in the results and what they are.

I'm not sure I buy this. In my mind the downsides to permanent working from home are these intangible things like team cohesion, speed of onboarding, effective cross functional collaboration, etc. Some of these issues wouldn't manifest themselves in a measurable way until more than a year later.
That chart doesn't show any one organisation being 'less biased' than any other. It shows every organisation being biased in a different direction. Centrism is no 'less biased' than the far left or the far right.
There has been plenty of options back in the day, it was guaranteed that C and C++ would take over everything as they did during the late 1990's.

Even the Object Pascal to C++ transition at Apple was mostly caused by increased UNIX adoption, and Apple programmers wanting to offer similar experiences, thus MPW was born.

Same on other platforms, until C and C++ eventually won everywhere, at least until several new kids decided to challenge them in various fronts.

One that you seldom see nowadays, outside games, is pure GUI frameworks using C or C++.
It was kind of vague to be honest:

>The Budapest Memorandum consists of a series of political assurances whereby the signatory states commit to “respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine”. But the meaning of the security assurances was deliberately left ambiguous. According to a former US diplomat who participated in the talks, Steven Pifer, it was understood that if there was a violation, there would be a response incumbent on the US and the UK. And while that response was not explicitly defined, Pifer notes that: “there is an obligation on the United States that flows from the Budapest Memorandum to provide assistance to Ukraine, and […] that would include lethal military assistance”.

Yes, once the events are aggregated (and optionally moved to a cost-effective storage for audits), we don't need them anymore in the primary storage. You can check the retention section in the article. The rollups themselves can have TTL if the users wish to set that on a namespace. Although doing that, they have to be fine with certain timing issues on when the rollups expire and new events are aggregated. We also have automation to truncate/delete namespaces.
Idk, what Twitter has is much better than this since they are how people find content. Building some special infra and viewer for per-website notes just seems like a downgrade that gets worse and worse the more you try to hash out how exactly it should work.
In general please don't use Soundcloud to share music. It's complete shit. It doesn't even allow seeking unless you register for an account. At least Youtube is borderline usable without signing in.
Yes from what I heard it would be very few users, definitely not the general public. Maybe academia, signage, marketing, historical/legal use, etc. It might be enough to simply plug the gap with occasional images instead of fonts. But CJK fonts often do apparently include Hanja.
Very few of the people saying "cisgender" say it in a way that suggests sixty years earlier they'd have dragged me behind a car for having the temerity to be that way.

the local police here formed a Rave Task Force. it became very effective, and pretty much killed the scene. it got to the point where the cops would show up as the guys were unloading the PA from the truck. lots of cat and mouse games followed on trying to get past the cops. promoters even started lining up alternate locations to relocate if something got shut down. then the cops started threatening to use crack house laws to arrest the promoters for providing a place for drugs to be used. we don't have clubs to speak of and mainly just bars. we tried doing events at bars, but having to shut down at 2am is just a joke.
Well, it’s often in the steps; stuff like, while the sauce is simmering, prepare the vegetables… just before the sauce has reduced, add the red wine. And some is just implicit knowledge that comes with experience, true.

I also haven’t seen a site that actually turns that into a neat visualisation, but as an amateur chef, properly timing steps of a recipe is definitely important.

I’m inclined to agree with GP though that a good model should be able to capture that.
> You can't actually prove the assertion that being in office makes the difference here at all

That was the point that they were trying to make. You can't prove such a thing with data one way or another, i.e. it's not possible to a/b test company culture.
IIRC There is only one prediction market with a single regulatory exemption granted for the University of Iowa and the bets are limited to $500.

The rest of what we see are (binary) event contracts (options)

Based on my understanding, which may be incorrect, they seem to be basically a rebranding of binary options which were illegal in the US for the longest time. With a clever renaming trick things now work :)
> If they think the site is unbalanced, then they’ve just made it worse.

Great point, and I think that's totally true. However, an organisation has to make the judgement call between staying on a failing (as they see it) platform in an attempt to rescue it, and leaving for an alternative that is less flawed. Clearly the Guardian thinks they stand little chance in affecting X in any meaningful way.

It will never not be wild to me that vast swathes of the American public consume Fox News as news when Fox itself asserted it was merely "entertainment" in court documents/arguments and all but called their own audience idiots for believing what they say, and they somehow are still operating.

That is commitment to maintaining your echo chamber.

Junk away...
The correct rebuttal to that claim is not "they say that all the time!" but "the claim is untrue and here is why."

That is what you attempted to do, so credit there, but you failed in that effort because fucking obviously the surveyed teens are not pointing to secondary or tertiary effects of micro-optimizations in ad auctioning algorithms when they say "Sponsored post means more trustworthy content!"

Sometimes bad things do happen. Sometimes things get worse for people. You can't brush it all of by just saying, "well yeah they said bad things were happening before though and actually they're still pretty good."

It totally is worth applying a bit of discount factor due to the effect you're pointing to, but that should not be even close to a 100% discount. The article isn't "making the claim that x," it's showing data.
since I like gambling on stock exchanges and table games I prefer the more nuanced term for the specific game I'm playing.

its more wasteful for some segment of our society to need a distinction between investing or gambling at all, the people they're competing against don't care, don't have any cultural limitation, religious limitation, or peer group that needs this distinction. and your "legitimizes" wording looks based on needing a distinction.

even with the "positive or negative expected value" metrics to distinguish some financial games, I've traded options contracts with a lower expected value than a table game at a casino. so just don't worry about the distinction and use our words for the specific game we're playing. prediction markets are prediction markets.
yeah search in general, bulletin boards, shared knowledge bases, etc.
You're arguing on capital's terms. The company isn't owed massive growth. They are allowed to have it if labor is willing to work under the conditions they provide and if the state continues to allow their incorporation and its related benefits (and they get lucky, presumably).
Thanks very much for the luck, hah, I'll probably need it. We'll see how I go ennui-wise in a year, but people are different, and I'm pretty sure that it'll help a lot. I keep a very healthy dose of activity outside of work, but not having to mangle spreadsheets for eight hours a day is amazing. It honestly feels a little bit absurd that people try to do work -without- an executive mandate at the typical organization.
Hi, thanks for your feedback! The list of countries comes from a popular ISO-3166-1 npm package.

I think we need a composable system but I am not sure if the current frame where this problem and these tools exist is good enough. We might need to rethink how we handle access and usage patterns well. I only have wrong answers. Docker compose is amazing for local dev env, k8s is terrible for production. These are my experiences with this domain.

I live in a country that has laws that protect the children, this includes making sure they get an education.

So now you are not free to do whatever you wish or force schools to teach the way you would like to.

And this is great.

And I also pulled my kids from school once or twice to get a better price on skiing but I am ashamed of myself.
> And when hasn't getting too close to music required hearing protection? Even a flute is over 90 dB.

Not that it's impossible for a symphony to play so loudly that one needs ear protection but that the giant speakers on the concert stage are engineered and tuned to output sound that's as loud as possible such that everyone within a certain distance of them is likely to suffer hearing loss without protection from such damage.
Yes but, a new organization should at least _strive_ to be objective, even if the journalists have subconscious bias.

If you lean in to your biases you stop being news and start being entertainment.
So maybe if there isn't a perceived value in the way we learn, then how learning is taught should maybe change to keep itself relevant as it's not about what we learn, but how we learn to learn.
Great, now bring back the congestion fee and we can say we live in a better city than we did last year.

Are you referring to:
> if you're reading an article about conflict in the Middle East it's helpful to know off the top of your head whether or not Iran borders Canada
?

Perhaps, but in the case that you are I think it's a stretch to say that the only utility of this is 'indoctrination' or 'understanding this. other forced meme'. The point is that lookups (even to an AI) cost time, and if you have to do one for every other line in a document, you will either end up spending a ton of time reading, or (more likely) do an insufficient number of lookups and come away with a distorted view of the situation. This 'baseline' level of knowledge IMO is a reasonable thing to expect for any field, not 'indoctrination' in anything other than the most diluted sense of the term.
There is power to slow news. Taking time to consider what to say next and how to reply, especially if you are wrong, is very important. That also applies to when you should stop commenting, even if you are wrong. Eventually every story needs to end because the resources needed to constantly follow up on old stories, and comments on them, need to be balanced with keeping up with new things. Basically, I am saying that comments sections, even if they occasionally point out important things, can be detrimental to keeping a higher level, slower paced and more thoughtful approach to journalism.
So, the Guardian is probably community-noted on beautiful hit pieces like this one:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/nov/04/is-trump-a-f...

Stanley continued: “Trump and the people behind him have already promised to replace the government at all levels with loyalists. [LGBTQ+] citizens, particularly trans citizens and their families, will have to leave the country. Political opponents will be targeted in some way ranging from financial penalties to prison.”

Dear Guardian: Hitler got to power in large part because of Ernst Röhm, the leader of the paramilitary SA organization who was openly gay. Hitler supported Röhm's LGBTQ membership until 1934, when the size of the SA surged to 4,000,000 and Röhm became too powerful. Himmler and others intrigued against Röhm, purged him and then suddenly LGBTQ was persecuted. Selectively persecuted, since well-known gay people like Reichsminister Rudolf Hess, who was known gay, stayed in power.

Yeah the Google -> Alphabet, Facebook -> Meta, Twitter -> X happened all pretty close to one another.

I mean hey, I can understand why someone like Blackwater renamed themselves to the more innocuous-sounding “Academi” LOL. But why does the media go along with it?

For the same reason they go along with other things, like covering Trump 24/7 in 2015-2016 even though they hated him. The incentives push them that way. A lot of things just go on autopilot. “This is what everyone is doing so we must too. This is the controversy so we must cover it before others do”.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. GPT was able to make your change for Monday vs Sunday week starting :)
if it's indoor, an IR blaster would be good enough.
To be fair, it sounds like you have no knowledge about the history of UAPs. Sightings, crashes and encounters did not start 1947, it goes back hundreds of years and even thousands of years depending on how one interprets the data.

We have extraordinary evidence, this is what is being presented right now, among other things.

> [...] they're lazy enough to get caught a few times here and there. Why would they just watch? Are they really that lazy that they get caught? Surely they know and understand our capabilities. It just doesn't make sense.

Yes, this line of thinking has been presented countless times. I believe everyone's first argument against UAPs or non human intelligence (NHI) is exactly this. There are numerous possible answers to this question, for example:

* The crashed ships are "gifts" for us to examine and learn from

* Sightings and encounters represent the tip of an iceberg, drawing us in to explore to and learn.

* We can create amazing things, sometimes our amazing things break for whatever reason, perhaps that is universal.

* Perhaps what we are witnessing is not NHI specifically visiting us, instead it is a consequence of how the ship moves through space. Perhaps the ships move in and out from what we perceive is our existence, while moving through space.

Point is; the history of UAP is ancient, the documentation and data is statistically significant, the disinformation campaign is insidious and the encounters are world wide.

My suggestion is just to keep an open mind.
