No such thing as multitasking. You just context switching frequently so any movie with any depth to the story will be hard to follow this way

Imagine if we put these remote operators inside the car, the latency would be unrivalled.

I still take issue with mr Snider scaremongering like this- in the unlikely scenario that someone would actually be running around with a 60 round mag glock it would likely jam or overheat anyway.

An NYPD officer? Scaremongering? Perish the thought.

I'd actually expect the 15-round magazines to be more common, given that's the size of magazine the Glock 19 comes with, and they don't stick out of the gun. But then again I'm not convinced any of these guys are carrying more than one magazine anyway (and if they were, they'd be too busy fumbling around in the dark getting the magazine out of their pockets- it's not like gangsters even know magazine holders even exist).

However, if you're using OEM Glock mags, it's not going to jam (don't buy SGM or Promag, not only are they garbage but they aren't even that much cheaper- which, to be fair, gangsters probably think all 'stendos are the same and would thus run into that problem more), and you literally cannot hold enough rounds on your person to make the gun overheat, especially if you're not wearing a competition-style belt designed to hold a bunch of mags. But then again, if your Glawk Fowtay Problem Solva can't solve the problem in 300 rounds you are probably doing something wrong.

Then report it via the appropriate channels with as much detail as possible and steps to reproduce. It looks like you are complaining without having even used the software.

No, I'm just not going to use the software if I encounter this.

You'll have to stick to pen and paper, although pens stop working if you don't use it for an extended period of time, so I guess it's an obvious defect with the product and you shouldn't use it.

No, I spend something like ten to sixteen hours a day in front of software that doesn't freeze up just because I don't cuddle it.

I've got some devices behind a NAT I'm lazy with, I reboot them maybe once a year or so.

Can we appreciate that Vivendi Universalis went after Gabe personally and no one is in jail for this.

It's totally normal for corporations to go after business executives personally in civil cases, but it's also usually pretty easy for those targeted executives to have the claims against them dismissed. Typically it's just an intimidation tactic.

It may be common, but it is not normal. It is certainly not ethical.

> It may be common, but it is not normal.

Those words are synonyms. What you seem to be objecting to is that it should not be normal or common. But it is. “Normal” doesn’t mean “acceptable” or “neutral”, it means “standard”, “usual”, “typical”, “expected”, “common”. Slavery was never ethical or good, but at a point in history it was normal.

Don’t avoid what is in front of you. Do fight for a better normal but recognise when something you disapprove of is the current normal.

You might want to think about this this other way.

If you were severely harmed by the actions of a specific person who happened to also be a business executive, should you be allowed to pursue that business executive in court?

Let’s say for example a wealthy man decides, for his personal amusement, to bulldoze your home. The bulldozer is owned by a LLC with no assets or insurance but the man is very rich. Should you be allowed to sue him personally?

How about if a family decides to engage in purposeful behavior in selling a deadly addictive drug that kills hundreds of thousands of people, making billions of dollars. Should they be allowed to walk away?

The “strange” convention that we adhere to is that we let people shield themselves from the consequences of their behavior behind corporate structures. Not the other way around.

The least we can do is ask them to show up in court and explain why that legal fiction should apply to them.

That's fair, all your examples seems to signal that the existence of LLC is the root problem.

'Corporations have no bodies to be punished nor any souls to be condemned, hence they do as they please.'

-Lord Thurlow, late 1700s.

These days, sadly, ethical behavior has almost nothing to do with the civil courts. Even in the article at OP, you can see how cases become little more than battles of financial attrition, with tactics (like dumping millions of foreign-language documents) designed to force your opponent to spend huge sums of money in the hopes of forcing a settlement.

Aside from all the comments saying that coding challenges aren’t as unrealistic as you think, there’s also the fact that there seems to be an oversupply of good enough coders for some roles so companies need to filter beyond that. Yeah inclusive environments etc is a nice to have but if you can get a top level coder that can solve problems quickly and not crumble under time pressure, even better. Why settle for good enough if you can get really good instead?

The really good rockstars aren't even in this interview process.

I assume OP was talking about US manufactured solar panels. Just buying PV from China is good for China only- they keep the profits, expertise and can choose to deploy the best panels for themselves if they feel the need.

PV themselves aren’t the most expensive part and US PVs aren’t double the cost of China.

Competition is progress.

> I find efforts by Bryan Johnson to increase his lifespan pretty idiotic- he won’t be able to avoid the cancer and the Alzheimer’s risks as he ages

At worst, he can be another data point. With enough of those, maybe someone will find a better treatment.

Where from and is it curly?

I see many takes in the comments but no one seems to be addressing the fact that privacy and social are opposites of each other. I think you could state the problem better- for example sharing with the audience that you expect to share with or some better controls on who sees what. But these alone are not good enough differentiation and in theory Facebook has very fine grained privacy controls and no one bothers to set this correctly and advertisers still see more than what you set etc

It is a hairy problem but it’s hard to frame it in such a way as to make it attractive enough to the masses to switch from existing networks
