I think you have to look at the converse for why they're stable. Even when things are going really well, Nintendo grows very slowly. They don't take large risks outside their core business. Sounds like they believe they're in a position of having the right employees and working on right things, but at the wrong time for market conditions. A lot of the companies doing layoffs have large risky divisions that they don't believe in.

Nag-screens are awful but they do also need to explain their tipping because it creates customer confusion. They could simply put up a sign up that says "We pay our employees a living wage. We don't accept tips, but you can donate to our staff's preferred charity XYZ at URL."

Stack ranking is irrelevant to all that and doesn't solve that "problem". If you want to protect yourself from lawsuits, just have a documented policy for evaluation/incentives with a papertrail showing you adhere to it and your decisions. Stack Ranking can have a poor papertrail too. Consider how you would respond to: "This ranking board was all men, and all the women were ranked low. Why?" That's when you want something more substantive behind the ratings.

I disagree. You can piss people off without doing anything wrong too. Complaints should be investigated, not taken at face value. This kind of ranking creates cliques and in-groups which can result in brigading. If someone is pissed off at another coworker, first question should be why.

No manager has direct insight into performance of 300 people (at least in tech). They have to rely on subordinate managers/teamleads, each of which can be unreliable for different reasons. Some may be playing politics, some may just be bad managers. Some will overhype their employees, some will be honest to a fault. Get them all in a ranking board, and all sorts of games get played.

If your team leads could be trusted to measure appropriately, you wouldn't need stack rankings because they'd correctly identify those under-performing. Stack ranking is conceding that your managers can't properly measure performance. Shouldn't that reflect more on management?

If you disincentivize (constructive) conflict, then you end up with a team stuck in groupthink that can't critically evaluate problems. It can be unpopular to present differing opinions, but it can also make the team stronger.

You filled in gaps in GP's post with a lot of assumptions. I read it as someone that can work effectively in a team. But also had conflicts with coworkers. If those were those healthy conflicts or unhealthy conflicts wasn't even discussed. That your first conclusion is to fire based on the absence of info is absurd. You jumped onto bandwagon of others opinions and acted recklessly. Maybe you should be fired instead?

Wouldn't the galatic rotation mean the earth will be somewhere far away when the jet travels that far?

The second model attempts to account for rotation but it doesn't account for varying angular velocities. Look at the variables, no new variables are included (unless you count the poorly defined constant). Does a coin "flip" that is a simple drop have the same odds as a fastly rotating coin? What if the flip is along the verticle axis instead of a horizontal axis or at angle in between?

But real world conditions can force code changes. For example, a region abandons daylight savings time or a court order on copyright infringement. Someone unqualified working a system they are unfamiliar with could blow it up. Losing that knowledge of how the system works is a risk.

Exactly. Mine is only used for timers/alarms, weather and as a bluetooth speaker. I just want those to work reliably. Every time it tries to change my behavior ("I can also...") it is actively annoying me.

But I also recognize that my usage won't generate revenue and will continue to cost. Surely they can't just keep offering free service forever on equipment that was purchased at deep discount. But I don't think offering gimmicks is the answer to this.

It could also just be your expectations that are broken. Maybe you want to pursue more hobbies then can be reasonably be done. Then it's a matter of prioritizing the ones you get joy and fulfillment from and letting go on the ones you don't have time to do.

Maybe its time for Creative Commons License to address this. I'm curious if No-Derivative would already prohibit this? Does the ND language need tweaking? Or do they need a whole new clause.

Edit: I guess they do address it in their faq and I'd summarize it "Depends if copyright law applies and depends if it's considered derivative". https://creativecommons.org/faq/#artificial-intelligence-and...

The article suggests using wide beams for transmission. That would mean anyone could passively take power. Without the ability to charge for power, isn't it doomed in our economic system? Is some municipality going to fund free power for their constituents?

I see a lot of traps with this. Who manages it and maintains the AI? They have a lot of power over the company and most companies won't have skillset. What happens when there is a crisis (natural disaster, employee walkout)? What happens when there is downtime? What happens when the AI goes off the rails (fed bad data?), who can override it? What happens when the system is compromised?

What are the assigned goals of the AI? Short-term profit, long-term profit, employee retention/satisfaction, public image? Those have to be assigned priority values. Those programmatic goals will likely not align with stated company goals. Will people learn how to game the system?

What is the training data? If the data is biased, will the AI learn the bias? Does the AI understand legal protections? If someone makes a harassment complaint against a coworker, is that input it processes? What if someone requires medical accommodations?

All that said, I support it as a tool to be used by people. I'm just against overreliance and need to be able to gracefully fallback.

I think it'd be a stretch to say sequels are covered by derivative works. Trademark would be the primary protection and would function for sequels with no copyright protection at all.

And how many did they fail to read?

Preparing specifically for a flood would be silly but you can do some common sense preparation that works for any number of potential disasters.

1. Know your egress routes

2. Be aware of your surroundings

3. Be ready to move

4. Have a communication plan

5. Know places to go in emergency (e.g. Consulate or group rally points)

6. If it doesn't feel right, leave.

On the wire it looks identical. It would have to be a very niche use, like a web form that filters periods.

Depends. If they're reviewing it without watching it, then I'm fine with their "opinion" being filtered. We don't need to amplify twitter outrage.

Birds here still mimic the 90s car alarm (You know the one that cycles between patterns every few seconds) even though I haven't heard that particular car alarm in at least a decade. How long will it take for birds to change that song?

I'm near a military base and I've never heard birds take on the bugle songs that come over loudspeakers (e.g. revelry, taps). I've also never heard birds sing the Ice Cream truck song. What makes some certain sounds so impressionable on birds?

And if only you played more guitar, you'd be a rockstar. More sports, a sports star. It's unfair to yourself to compare yourself to icons, very few people can be a legend.

Most people are trying to figure out their career around your age. Many will change careers again later. Instead of comparing yourself against the top 0.01% you should focus on incremental self-improvement. Take on a project, complete it, release it. Get feedback, identify gaps and try and close them. Purposeful improvement over time will eventually outpace any amount of random tinkering as a child. And don't focus self-improvement solely on your career, grow your life skills, get a hobby.

The risk models for potential members would vary wildly. The fee structure would have to account for different levels of risk based on the activity of members. And then what if one member faces a lawsuit that could be an existential threat to that company, how much of a legal defense is the appropriate response? And then who determines the legal strategy (settle vs court)?

This sounds like ransomware insurance. Often you would expect the insurance to help you recover from losses but instead they just pay the ransoms since it's cheaper. Which in-turn makes the insurance holders even more of a juicy target.

It also means the server can turn off echo for sensitive things like passwords.

Block 8443 on public interface. DNAT your whitelisted IPs to 127.0.0.1:8443 where you're hosting your real page. Put another page on 443 that serves your access request and notifies you.

But honestly you should just do the access list in nginx itself.

If we look at telecom, US seems comfortable with Ericsson but not Huawei.

Updates. Warranty.

I wonder what would happen for the bribe problem if the rich man wasn't on the track at all. I feel the unfairness of comparing the relative value of rich life vs poor life compels people to reject the bribe. But if it was simple bribe to kill with the other side being empty, then it becomes a measure of the worth of a life.

If it's stuck for eternity, I think there is enough time to ask the stuck person what they want.

I was really surprised majority would pull the lever to kill the litterer versus the inaction killing good citizen. I don't consider myself the moral authority to sentence someone to death for such a minor crime. There was a substantive barrier before I would take action but I would take action when it was significantly weighted.

Mostly agreed. But in another society that values the wisdom of their elders, then they could see that as a large loss. Where-as the baby is replaceable with very little cost to society. I wonder if the stats would be different in an Eastern society.
