you could provide one for your statement as well

Sure, but why does something being illegal in the past matter without the reasoning of why it should be illegal again? There are plenty of immoral and unjust laws in the past.

Posting a politicians platform on stock isn't exactly a good argument. It doesn't explain why they should be considered market manipulation. Why is buying back a share manipulation but a dividend not be? Should issuing dividends be illegal since "worker pay hasn't kept up"?

Just give one as a gift occasionally. The holiday season is great for this. On your way in, "Merry Christmas Frank!" and hand one out. Or even just because. "Keep up the good work, here you go"

Its not about bribing to get a specific favor. Its about getting on good terms. Having people like you is a good thing and it makes their job a bit better and can make their day a little brighter. win-win

The "baked into the price" also includes the price of options. I would not be surprised to find that the price premium of options dated around the 6 month window would negate the gain from the drop.

file:/// is always going to be local to the machine reading the URI. So if you're serving a page that has a file:/// uri in it and someone on another machine clicks on it, they wont be seeing the file (unless they happen to have the same path on their machine). If the goal is get them that file, then yes, it'll need to be served.

It doesn't since file:/// is just a uri and not part of the http protocol

Put my archives on Google Drive and then mount the drive on my phone. This keeps everything in-sync between my laptop and phone obsidian instances

I'm in the same boat of spam calls. The majority are looking for the previous owner of the number (debt collectors). The thing is I've had this number for well over any sort statute of limitations on debt. In the past I considered getting a new number but that would also be a giant pain. There also wouldn't be any guarantee that the new number wasn't in the same boat

They matter as a signal of quality for reading recommendations. As someone who has read many/most of the previous Hugo (and Nebula) winners, it used to be a high quality signal for good sci-fi stories.

And, while it's always been a popularity contest at it's core, I can't help feeling some disappointment at seeing it descend into whatever nonsense it has become.

So really I guess I miss them as the high quality signal it used to be and it's on me to find new signals

The doorbell for my house. It's from some point in the 1930s and has a small DC induction motor that drives a camshaft that operates hammers to strike the gongs.

It's a bit of a work in progress as the assembly needs adjusting and degunking in order to run. However, when hooked up to a generator, the motor spins right up

nice, I do something similar with my tests to print out certain vars only when a test fails in order to get more context.

I've always wanted to run a campaign that does the opposite: give them an obscene amount of wealth.

First problem would be how do they even transport, store, and guard it without being jumped, ripped off and robbed? Did they think millions of coins would fit in a few sacks?

Maybe a "No Country For Old Men" type situation? Sure they're rich as kings but there are more powerful beings that know about their wealth and they are coming.

that's largely how its described in the rules. It represents calling in favors, requesting credit, etc. A failure could be described as not having the funds, funds being tied up in other ventures, requests denied, that sort of thing.

Burning Wheel does this and I absolutely love the system. I liked how if you failed your wealth check, your score was lowered for awhile. You could also increase it like any other score with enough success of difficult tasks. The way all the various subsystems in that game interact was superb.

I do think you lose out in an abstract system though. Delving for treasure in a dangerous dungeon was most the appeal of the early RPGs. It's not quite the same rush discovering a horde that then gets abstracted away

While skepticism is always warranted, doing a dopamine detox is also a low stakes sort of experiment. Worst case nothing really changes and you go back to doing what you were before, best case you learn of some stimulus impacts you in a way that you might be able to manage better going forward. Why not experiment?

Just say whatever point it is you are trying to make instead of making people guess

Ha! I recall the exact same thing happening to me. I guess they decided that if they sign people up for some nonsense service then there is a "business relationship" and they're free to spam all they want.

glad to see it getting slapped down.

Look I'm not trying to make this an attack on you. My generous read is that you just chose some poor examples. But teams can and do succeed despite bad management techniques like poorly implemented OKRs all the time.

If the goal is to build a managed k8s service, a team of talented people can build it without the need for OKRs.

Coming from an SRE backround I see a better OKR breakdown on the Engineering side as follows:

* Objective: A stable Managed service that the business can sell * Key Result: - A monthly availability of 99.99% * Key Result: - Monthly P90 API latency below 500ms * Key Result: - a new instance of the service serving customers in the new region by the end of the quarter.

(Yes, these are really just SLOs, they're a good fit for this)

I know the objective rolls up to the business goal of a revenue target. I know that if i'm meeting my own goal buy the metrics we can measure from the service. I know how to prioritize engineering work. If one target is being missed consistently, the fixes are going to be prioritized At review time, I can point to improvement work that fixed/improved the results an know the business thinks its important.

Give me some vague objective and unmeasurable of researching and understanding something? I'll BS my way through filling out the form and go back to improving the service

None of the presented KPIs are quantifiable which misses entire the point of the KPI.

Also its unclear how the team KPIs tie into overall Objective (Key Results are missing here). The way its structured, every team could meet their KPIs and the company could still miss the objective. Eng can build a stable k8s, product could research all the things they want, support could understand everything, marketing could understand everything. If customers don't buy the product, the objective has been missed

I don't say this to pick on you but these examples are typical of what i've seen in practice when orgs roll this out. They end up not really groking the idea behind OKR, and slap the label on a process that is largely similar to what they had before but with a trendy new name. The net result isn't better business outcomes but instead a lot of toil, infighting about why OKRs were missed, gamed KPIs, vague and unhelpful "targets", and a distaste for the whole process.

Largely I see inflation measurements as a model that degrades with time. Inflation of one year vs the last couple of years? Not too bad of a measure, things are similar enough. Inflation of this year's dollars vs dollars 50 years ago, much less useful as the things being purchased are radically different. Inflation comparing today's dollars to dollars 100-200 years ago. Largely worthless too many goods are either completely different or don't exist

Good point! I think in the past it would have been a much bigger deal to have past drug use revealed. Think Bill Clinton vs Obama. We've come a long way since, I'm not surprised the IC is just now starting to rethink things a bit.

Nope, that's typically a deal breaker. It's the stuff they find out that you didn't want them to know that can get you blocked. The thinking is that if an adversary finds it out, they could use it as leverage against you. I've held clearances in the past and was forthcoming about marijuana use. It largely comes down to the judgement of the investigator. I'm really not surprised that some people have been bounced for drug use and some people haven't.

Keep in mind that S3 predates IAM by several years. So part of the reason that access to buckets/keys is special is because it was already in place by the time IAM came around.

Its likely persisted since than largely since removing the old model would be a difficult taks without potentially breaking a lot of customer's setup

Honestly I always saw the California Common/Steam beer style as more marketing than a true style. In my head I grouped them in with amber lagers. I Totally agree that Anchor Steam was mediocre.

Its just plain incorrect. As you note, Yuengling is older (1829) and is considered a craft brewery by the Brewers Association. Given that this is just a local news website, I just assume they're not exactly doing a ton of work verifying the press release

Yuengling's flaghsip is an Amber Lager, not a light lager in the same vein as bud/miller/coors. Also, they didn't introduce their amber until the 80s. Prior to that their main beer was their porter.

I don't think there is a coherent definition of craft breweries that includes Anchor but not Yuengling

Eternal September was a problem in old chat rooms and IRC servers too. Discord isn't unique here.
