FWIW: I realized this year that there are whole cohorts of management people who have absolutely zero relationship with the words that they speak. Literal tabula rasas who convert their thoughts to new words with no attachment to past statements/goals.
Put another way: Liars exist and operate all around you in the top tier of the FAANGS rn.
Obviously we can, global groundwater depletion is very hard to estimate but estimates range from 20-300 km3/year (this paper uses a figure of 126.) Global desalination production is around 35 km3/year and growing rapidly.
These people are putting their bodies on the line. It is a public protest. I cannot infer anything other than that they’re willing to risk everything, including their privacy to defend their ideas.
That's explicitly why captive portal detection does not use HTTPS. If your OS of choice fails to detect captive portal (or doesn't implement detection), and you have the ability to visit a website, you can visit example.com to get into the captive portal.
The really annoying part is when a device (cough, Switch at launch) doesn't have portal detection nor a web browser, making it useless on hotel wifi.
I guess one could bring a laptop, spoof the Switch's WiFi MAC on the laptop and use it to login through that portal, and then disconnecting, and connect the "authorized" Switch. And make sure the Switch doesn't have "randomize MAC" like on Android/iOS.
Yep I've done it. What a pain. Thankfully now the Switch does have captive portal detect and a little purpose built web view for agreeing to the terms.
Loss of revenue puts people at risk of famine and indentured servitude.
This isn't a cultural thing. Human evolution is ugly. Evolution's filter function is death. If you can't feed yourself, nature will use you for food.
You are coming from a place of extreme privilege lamenting that people get stressed about losing a job. It's not a minor inconvenience if you're working on something you think is important. Button pushers have little to mourn. People working on big projects have to establish new goals for themselves & align themselves with an entirely new professional network. These are not minor things.
He is not coming from a place of extreme privilege. He is coming to it. In good times people here on HN publicly argue about ways of squeezing every possible dollar from their employers, talking about compensation, options, bonuses and such, easily changing jobs for better money, always feeling very special and productive.
This is a reality check: if you are productive and make the company $2M per year while costing only $350k per year, your job security is fine. If you do some work that company can live without, you're probably not as productive as you thought you were. Maybe it is time to adjust your self-esteem and expectations to the market reality.
It does serve a purpose. It announces to everyone in their vicinity that this fragile human is deficient and should only be interacted with via great caution.
edit: I don't understand the downvotes here. Is it considered poor manners to point out that people don't get to control how people perceive them?
Maybe you should state more explicitly the premise, which is that if you are easily offended you might have a weak mind. I think it is reasonable to discuss this point, as it may have some merit.
It isn’t good to see large communities of humans burning mental calories to come to the same set of conclusions (I’m on team sandwich because $REASON | I’m on team taco because $REASON). It is a mental D.o.s. directed towards humans that tend towards herding.
