It seems their goal is to make the issue go away altogether by pre-censoring people so they don’t have to police bullying after. Here it’s humans taking that shortcut, in the future I’d totally imagine AIs resolving to eliminate the source

You had to explain what “non-refundable” should be interpreted as. I think we can agree different people will have different interpretations. I’d also expect any terms in the actual ToS defining “non-refundble” to get void in front of a jud

yes. I know very few people irl that are positive about the impact, and the polls where mostly negative as well (except those done by the IOC itself, who got up to 70% support at some point, go figure) Anectodtaly that’s the usual reaction

I totally agree with you when it impacts people’s security, privacy, goods or money. I am less intransigent when it comes to potentially hurt feelings.

At the risk of sounding grounchy, the Olympics is one of the show a lot of people actually want to get cancelled. Population was mostly against it. And a part of it would have been about “volunteers” (like school/university kids/s

Isn’t that “solved” by the friend going to the administration and discussing the issue with a human to have the situation properly handled ? I feel it’s like blaming your roomba for running over your graduation certificate when it could hav

The conclusion is good advice, but doesn’t match the criticism of the response in the story. The mail is pretty factual, polite, doesn’t assume circumstances that could be ill fited. I saw it more as an exemple of a decent wording that anyt

This is partly an effect of cultural issues related to immunity and how it's perceived in most europe countries. Even putting aside the whole deliberate sharing germs and force building body resistance, wearing a mask is seen as anti-s

What I found interesting is that Gitlab's ability to operate in your country is a often overlooked limiting factor, and the list can be surprising. France for instance is not supported for full time employees, as far as I know.

The judgment is based on the combination of all these criteria. In your scenario, you are the craftman’s direct client, a contract will be signed between you and them, not with some wrapping entity. If you need additional work on the shed y

There is of course education that can help in a lot of these situations. What amazes me is that there is no one around these kids to look for them apart from the pool staff. Most pools here allow for non/bad swimmers to go where they w

Yes, and they ran the Atlanta one at 7AM. That was also the plan at some point for Tokyo. There was a Doha marathon ran this year at midnight, still running at around 30°C and needing crazy heat counter measures to be runnable. It was their

The dumb part of all of this is how the gov. and the IOC handled the summer olympics up to this point. For instance there was the discussion around the marathon, where runners would be at serious risk when running outdoors in the middle of

I am not sure on which part you are reacting. For instance from the article: > The first thing I settled on was to have one publicly announced engineering lead per project. I did this to make ownership clear It seems to be very close to

You can mount your working source folder in the running container. If you are working with a scripting language that can be enough to have your changes reflected on the running instance, otherwise you can set a hook on these changes to reco

If your goal is detecting earlier configuration issues or limitations induced by the prod environment, it can be enough to have well maintained integration/test environments. And I guess it’s basically the situation the author ended up

I think we are going in the expected direction, but we’re not at the end yet. About brands, we’ve seen the rise of comparison sites and review videos that allows unknown products to raise to the top. I’d say that’s pretty in line with your

It’s a valid point. Every kids are different, we went head first with the big bucket approach with ours, so any further set we bought were more to have a group of coherent pieces at a bundle price. One side effect was that the stickers on t

There are a decent number of Lego alternatives, with perfect brick compatibility for way cheaper prices. I bought one of the Xiaomi sets when it was discounted, almost just to get spare pieces.

I have a different perspective: I’d say Lego is having a hard time keeping its core principle (building stuff) while going along with the times. In particular Lego has a “Technic” and “Boost” series that in particular allows remote control,

My guess would be that under EU protection you can’t deny having willingly provided the money, and ask the bank to take it back just because you don’t feel it was worth it anymore. The claim would go through the police or a formal fraud co

You are totally right in that there needs to be some prior knowledge of the person to work better remotely. I think it can be done up to a point by a first one or two day of meeting physically and getting to know where and how the person wi

I am not sure to understand what your solution is. We’re in this situation because powerful commercial entities created a market unbalance for decades, if not centuries, taking advantage of weaker/poorer countries. Your argument seems

Remote work doesn’t equate with being hands off or having no coaching. This is not a pleasant scenario, but some companies will stick monitoring tools on their employees environment, and it becomes the equivalent of the boss sitting behind

Even “I work from home Fridays” would be a relevant bar I think. It wouldn’t be allowed, or technically unfit (no access to critical tools) in a lot of companies I’ve seen 10 or even 5 years ago. Someone “working from home” would be conside

Reporting the issues to the legal department, which then deals with it could be a ways around this. For blatant issues (i.e. there's a dead body) you'd still be expected to act on your own, but on any greyer area you'd be cov
