Getting some level of management and learning there is no authority of responsibility given to the role. It's just another type of task handler. The disillusionment is common when people crave responsibility and realize it isn't forthcoming.

Had you been granted the authority to oversee a critical responsibility/project/initiative you might have been imbued.

It's very exciting, like a drug, to be given responsibility for which you know that you are immediately shit canned (by your friends no less) if it doesn't go well or rewarded handsomely if you get it over the finish line. You have to hold key peoples' (founders/investors/executives) trust to get those roles because your success/failure ripples into them right quick.
It's probably less boring than drawing Garfield seven days a week.
the word best is highly problematic. best in every possible situation? impossible. only an idiot would believe something so stupid. so it must be best under certain circumstances which means others are best under different circumstances.
Good riddance. Traditional media is just the latest tool for plutocrats to sway public opinion. They'll find new ones.

Behind every sports team and media outlet is a billionaire. Trust me.
I disagree completely with the implication of last paragraph. For one thing, if an employee has only busywork to do, that is the fault of the elites running the company, not the employee.

To jump from "managers don't know how to allocate tasks" to "the employee being managed is an unthinking, fungible automaton" is enormous.

The disdain of this shithead toward coworkers is misplaced. He accuses his coworkers who are being mismanaged of being NPCs when it's more apt to accuse the managers of being bad "game designers," to carry the analogy further.

It's also a weird analogy to make in 2025, when co-op games exist. What mental deficiency, what arrogance must you suffer from to analogize coworkers to pre-programmed non-humans when actual humans play the games with you these days?

Edit: His entire line of thinking reminds me so much of the stupid geeks in high school who looked at athletically-gifted classmates and said "they aren't deep like I am." Give me a break. The shallow ones are the ones incapable of identifying the spark of the divine in people different from themselves.
This is so blatantly obvious it hurts. This person lucked out (of course most likely due to talent, opportunity and effort inclusive) in exactly 1 (one) thing and now believes he "can".

He states he learned that hiking without training was dumb and acknowledges it was dangerous. Good. Lesson learned?

No. Still has no clue GOVERNMENT - y'know, the most complicated thing in the world to do right - may be, bear with me here, just a tad bit more complicated than elementary hiking safety training (recall: the very basics of the thing he just learned he should have learned, and risked dying for not learning)

I'm sorry if I'm a bit harsh but god damned if this doesn't sound like a completely clueless person.
I guess the transmission lines themselves is where the costs are
> Know what doesn't change very quickly? Policy and law at the municipal level. Know what changes quickly because it's done at the very top level? Immigration rate.

In my experience, local policy and law changes much faster than federal, especially with GOP opposing everything on the federal level. The GOP shot down the immigration deal they negotiated last summer. Locally is where I see solutions happen (and then state GOP parties, where they have power, will sometimes undermine that).

> Know what changes quickly because it's done at the very top level? Immigration rate.

How is immigration rate "done" at the federal level? With federal inaction, it's mostly an organic outcome of economics and politics in other countries.

And the international political and economic influence. Really of the whole EU - those countries together, including their currency, have global weight. Together, they are on the scale of the US and China.

Also, they would like to sell things to and buy things from Germany and France, and the rest of the EU.

Economics determines military power. If Germany wants to build a military, they can and now they are, to a significant extent.

In practice, the Mandelbulb is usually only computed to a few iterations (e.g. 20) in order to maintain smooth surfaces and prevent a lot of surfaces from dissolving into ~disconnected "froth".

So deep zooms and deep iterations aren't really done for it.

Also, it's generally rendered using signed distance functions which is a little bit more complicated. I haven't looked at the equations though to figure out if perturbation theory is easy to apply -- I'm guessing it would be, as the general principle would seem to apply.
> government controls immigration levels

In what sense is the government controlling immigration levels? If they could, it would be much different.

> Nobody is willing to go “long” on housing when the government can go “short” on supply at any time.

How does the government go short on supply?
Agreed, the devil is in the detail for SRE functions, and the organizational details of how to leverage this framework are largely absent from this writeup. With so many teams struggling to get the organizational components right just for traditional SRE (due to budget constraints, internal politics, misunderstanding of SRE by leadership, etc), I'd imagine implementing the changes need to leverage the ideas in this writeup will be impossible for all but extremely deep-pocketed tech companies.

Nonetheless, lots of interesting concepts, so I would like to see a Google SRE handbook style writeup with more info that might be of more practical value.

As a middle manager you are listening to inane complaints from arrested development cases (ICs) all day. It is very difficult to be polite. 90% of the job is holding your tongue.
This requires age period cohort analysis. The article asserts cohort is responsible, but it is just as likely that gen z will age into an appetite for managing.

Gen Z might just have a accurate self assessment of their management abilities.

Insurance is made in the margins of charging a healthy population more than you will use for them in the year. The reason "Single-Payer" is "the answer" to everyone's woes, is that in order to make anything close to a reasonable amount of money on insurance you need to have an actual population to insure. This typically works because insurance companies are big.

This also means that any new insurance company needs to pick up a ton of customers. This is really hard to get off the ground in a way that will make you money. You would ideally pick up a healthy population (younger folks), and then you'd have to get lucky on your actuarial tables for the population of people you pick up insurance plans for.

Canada traded superficial (harmful) diversity for a degraded identity.
IMO there's a system-design question on the difference between:

1. Verified to be X (e.g. degree in biology or over 25)

2. Claims in their user-profile to be X

In practice, #1 would be expensive and hard to enforce, while #2 will get you most of the way even though it's on the honor system. Especially if it isn't used as a hard-limit on participation but instead as a convenience to others, and if you can see history to identify people who inconsistently change their own profile.

That said, for some discussions what you want it something people are unlikely to have needed to codify before, like "actually owns the same MacGuffin 4000 that I do."

Canadian wealth is dominated by real estate, mostly land, which isn't directly a product of labor.
It's easy to see why. Middle managers are kicked around by so many forces outside of their control, are not respected by anyone anymore, and are badly underpaid. A half-decent engineer always makes more and does a lot more fulfilling work with a lot less bullshit factor in it.
I used to think this was a wonderful idea, with the greatest of intentions, what could possibly go wrong? Turns out it's inevitable that a hail storm hits or mother nature somehow will break/cracks those panels, allowing heavy metals to leach into the soil and make it unusable for farming in perpetuity. This actually happened to a guy I spoke with during lunch one day.

So seeing the actual reality over a longer timeframe of solar farms, and wind turbines (those huge blades made of not friendly chemicals last only 10 years, do you know how they are disposed of?), have greatly reduced any excitement I had for solar/wind as environmentally friendly longer term sustainable solutions. I guess it's sort of good to diversify but they most definitely aren't "earth friendly" as advertised. Fusion seem our only real hope.

Is there anything about farming that makes financial sense?

Most farmers (even in developed countries) are cash poor and most farmers are deep in debt.

The ones that aren’t can quickly become so given a little bad luck. Farms have to hedge against bad yields to protect against undesirable weather.

Family farms only make financial sense if there is a lot of free labor (slavery, indentured servants, or unpaid labor of children).

The moai are half buried because that's just what tends to happen in erosive environments. Sediment buries things.

As for specifically debunking his LGM speculation, there isn't much because no one with public credentials wants to spend time and effort on it in the current academic environment. You can find debunkings in popular media (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iCIZQX9i1A) and a few scattered "popular" academic publications like the SAA's special edition on Hancock's pseudoarchaeology (http://onlinedigeditions.com/publication/?i=634462&p=10&view...), but most of the information is buried in papers and books that don't discuss him at all.

There's just flat out no actual evidence for (virtually?) all of his speculation and you can't prove a negative. Hancock's MO is to take 1-2 anomalous results and spin out media around "these dates don't line up, so let's speculate about something entirely unrelated". The rapa nui episodes in Ancient Apocalypse S2 talk to one actual archaeologist, who doesn't even support the dates discussed in the episodes. They were just anomalous banana phytoliths that were present from sediment intrusions. Dating is hard and this stuff happens regularly, especially in areas without much active research like Rapa Nui. The standard understanding is post-1200, as documented in papers like https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2020.105094 and https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03902-8

> Housing supply is inelastic, in part because of zoning (but it’s not the only reason). Know what doesn’t change very quickly? Policy and law at the municipal level.

Assuming policy and law at higher levels are more responsive, if there is a broader problem due to common and inflexible municipal policy, this can be resolved by changing the policy at the higher level to change the scope of municipal options and/or the applicable process so as to either steer it in the desired direction or make it more responsive.

While this is true of many projects, F-Droid has a track record of sourcing funding for security audits. To date there have been at least three audits, in 2015, 2018, and 2022.

I was involved in addressing in issues identified in the first one in 2015. It was a great experience, much more thorough than the usual "numerous static analysers and a 100 page PDF full of false positives that you often receive.
~400W/panel @ 20% efficiency is pretty much spot on for my home rooftop solar panel specs, so your math checks out there.

$0.02/kW does seem a bit low. Looking at my bill, it looks like I got paid ~$0.03/kW last month in California where my retail price is $0.17/kW off-peak. Looking at the current price charts for electricity, they're also currently ~$0.03/kW, so the numbers do check out since we're supposed to be paid the current wholesale price.

Electricity just doesn't cost all that much to generate, most of the cost comes from transmission and storage.

F-Droid would likely get APKs from the same place (if reproducible builds are on for the app in question). If this attack is implemented successfully, then that place was compromised as well, and Obtainium can’t do much here to detect that I’m afraid.

Edit: on second thought, they could pin certificate hashes like F-Droid does on the build server, but verify them client-side instead. If implemented correctly this could indeed work. However, I think F-Droid with reproducible builds is still a safer bet, as attacker would have to get write access to source repo as well and hide their malicious code so that F-Droid can build and verify it.
It probably starts when folks like the parent-poster provide a clear definition for "leftist", preferably something that isn't "anyone who sounds like they'd vote for a Democrat."

Reconciling the constitutions and laws would mean you'd basically be creating a new country.

Keep the secret!
Many serious news outlets are signaling their obediance to Trump and the right.

Politico's European publication published, as news, a story that said disinformation mostly was a mass panic and didn't amount to much. Again, obviously false and appeasing the right, which also has shut down anyone who researches disinformation, even at institutions like Stanford and Harvard.

The LA Times owner has stopped them from endorsing Harris and from publishing various pieces critical of Trump, and is insisting they publish more that's positive about Trump.

Semafor published an article, by one of its founders, that compared reporting on Trump-Russia collusion with reports of Iranian motherships controlling drones in the Northeast, and a "mass delusion". At least it was an opinion piece, but it's obviously false and dishonest.

MSNBC had some of their leading hosts visit Trump to, per reports, try to appease him. They later published an apology for a guest's mild ridicule of Fox News.

It's been easy Internet points for a long time to disparage the serious news media. If you actually succeed and destroy it, we will be in deep trouble. We are in deep, deep trouble. There could be no source for accurate information. It's time to stop playing Internet games and take your world very seriously - you're not an outside critic; you build the world for yourself, for others around you, and for generations that follow. Generations before us built professional journalism; what will we build? X?
I'm not sure wind turbines are quite as bad as you assert:

Yes, but why would Canada want the EU? it's just a complete fantasy from the economist, I don't see why a country that's already wealthy would want to join the EU, especially when it's a country that basically is completely dependent to the US. It makes as much sense as Norway wanting to join NAFTA when most of its trade is in Europe.

... read though to the disclaimers.
I have heard from a couple farmers that some venture energy corporation will pay a yearly fee to put panels on the farmland, which is probably the 20k/year he gets paid from a corporation like that. I doubt he's selling the power directly, nor was able to invest money for all those panels. He just get's a check every month. He also doesn't know the risks he's taking allowing that.

edit: I might be wrong on this, reading this on their site they have some significant donors.

It's funny when the comedy shows to superedits of a media company's affiliates all reading from the same script. You also see it on edits from CNN and FOX where all of the "hosts" (I refuse to call them anchors) all use the exact same lines.

The "party line" is very obvious as long as you're willing to see it. If party line is too political, then the sports version is that the playbook has been well studied.

Yes. The situation is correctly described by a modified version of standard Newton's theory, in which you start caring about higher derivatives.
not sure where you're getting 10 years for windd turbines from, but it's closer to 20. they also aren't nasty chemicals. it's fiberglass and epoxy and are disposed the same way pretty much everything is disposed of, putting them in a pit in the middle of nowhere.

The title doesn’t do it justice - everything with images quickly adds up.

Doing 120 fps video at 4K so that any chosen frame looks amazing without artifacts is really quite an achievement.

The microphones were actually more interesting to me, that you can get lavalier performance from the tiny mics in the phone that are physically far from the person being recorded is seriously clever.

Getting this to work some of the time is already an achievement but I think people underestimate how much work goes into making it work across all different scenarios.
I have the opposite view. The numbers game might have worked 10-15 years ago but it is a horrible strategy that will send your email deliverability rate to near zero.

Rather than spray and pray, I prefer to only contact companies that have shown they have the problem my product is trying to solve at the time they have that problem (or actively looking for solutions). I send a handful of cold DMs/emails a day and aim for at least a 20% response rate.

All of that is subject to detection bias as well. There’s a lot of uncertainty involved in tracking early cases. It’s not anything close to solid evidence.
Yeah, I hate how COVID changed things so much for the worse.

If I was a crazy billionaire, I'd open a good pizza place in SLU or somewhere central with pies that cost $20 for a large, open til 3 am. Maybe aim to lose no more than $5,000 per month. It would not be profitable with the crazy high minimum wage, so I would just accept the loss for providing this benefit to the city.
Perplexity has been the most accurate LLM product, and sans hallucination till date. It is also the fastest. It also has inline citation, but other products do, too. But at one time it was the only product in market to offer that.

The first one is fine, but small, less efficient shops were never open very late. Also, Yemeni coffee shops are basically the same as Mom and pop coffee shops. Why are they able to be open late in the same environment?

Second one, how come Yemeni coffee shops don't have the issue of keeping out the homeless?

EDIT: Yemeni coffee shops are having the same success in the bay area where these problems are both exacerbated.
