Yeah I did that. Now it seems I have to set up DKIM2 and DMARC2 and DCRAP3 and DSHIT4 for another afternoon instead of just going to work and getting shit done.
I don't care how I "look". If a company puts me on PIP because I worked hard for 40 hours instead of 80, so be it, I'll just take severance, leave, and relax for a while. I have the luxury of doing that, and I'll prioritize my health and family over a rat race. I do believe in working hard, but I also believe in family and having pursuits to live life for outside of work.
If you're in H1B at a FAANG, you unfortunately don't have that luxury, because if you don't work 80 you may be put into PIP and forced to uproot your entire family and destroy your kids' education if you can't nail another job within 60 days. And so in groups with both H1Bs and citizens/PRs, a lot of H1Bs will work harder, out of fear, not because they actually want to, and if there is a stank ranking system, the ones who don't fear will be the ones who get PIP more easily because they respect their bodies' limits.
I was just suggesting that the game can simulate both of these modes, the second being drastically harder.
Except I think I've had 1:1 personal e-mails from my domain go into a legitimate recipient's spam filter just because I didn't have DMARC set up and their mail server was flagging that "DMARC not set up == spammy domain"
Maybe add a non-US-citizen mode where if you are ever unemployed for more than 2 cycles you lose, unless you already have a side project with enormous traction
And if you are a US citizen and get randomly get thrown into a group of mostly non-citizen coworkers they will grind like hell due to the above, and if you don't grind extra hard you get the PIP faster, because you're stack ranked against them
Aw hell. How many things do I have to set up just so that I can send e-mails from my own domain?
The effect of all this seems to be less "making e-mail secure" and more "making it so that only Google, Apple, and Microsoft can send e-mail successfully"
Permit faking hardware attestation by providing a remote attestation provider device that runs stock Android and a corresponding app. When app on GrapheneOS asks to be attested, that request gets routed via the cloud to the stock Android remote device. People will have to buy 2 phones, one running GrapheneOS that they actually use, one that runs stock Android that they can lock up in a closet plugged into power.
> These operating systems aren't compatible with most of the apps and services people want to use.
Exactly this.
If I can't run WeChat, Venmo, my brokerage app, WhatsApp, etc. it's a non-starter for me. I might as well not have a phone, because these apps are pretty much the only reason I carry around a phone.
> When two people interact there’s a trust/risk calculation on both sides.
You should never base your trust on the other party having a piece of hardware that has restrictions that you approve of. That is fragile, especially in a world where some people are better at making or modifying hardware than others. It is also a fundamental violation of basic freedoms to prevent people from modifying hardware that they own, and not something you can reliably police, and thus is a terrible way to establish trust from a technical perspective.
It's much better to base trust on established cryptographic methods on a protocol level. You treat them as a black box, and the trust is established by the inputs and outputs, not what's inside the box. An example of this would be handing them an image of a digital ID paired with a cryptographic signature that only the government holds the private keys to. They have no computationally viable way to edit the image and still have it match the paired signature. It's easily verified based on the government's public key, and they cannot re-sign it without the government's private key. It doesn't depend on hardware restrictions.
The fact that there is so much focus on hardware means there are likely deeper motives here, e.g. surveillence being dressed up as convenience.
People will use it, because they don't have money for real therapists, because they also lost their own job. Maybe you can give them free therapy if you think it's a bad idea?
> I don’t know too many people who are using AI art commercially
I see AI stock images absolutely everywhere in the news now, AI portraits all over the place, AI relit product images absolutely everywhere.
> You didn’t need AI for your plumbing. My dad had a whole set of books on household chores
I don't have time to read books when I have a plumbing issue and other shit to do. Normally I'd have paid $200 for a plumber. But with AI I didn't have to read the books, and I was able to solve it myself for $30.
It's junk for mission-critical software. But stock photographers, tutors, therapists, writers, translators, designers, and others are being replaced in droves. The snowball is starting.
Even plumbers. AI told me what to buy from Home Depot and I diagnosed and fixed my last 2 plumbing problems myself.
And lawyers. I fought some minor issues on my own with AI guidance.
> It’s really hard to explain that centers aren’t bad and are actually far more efficient than the alternatives.
This isn't about efficiency, power, water, or fire. AT ALL.
Massive amounts of people have their jobs and livelihood threatened. The datacenters, which are enabling that, are being deployed in their neighborhoods while everyone in that neighborhood goes jobless. There is no plan of relief in the form of better economic policy, UBI, less taxation of actual humans, or anything else. That is the real crux of what is being fought.
> my main gripe with parquet (single table per file) is not even addressed
I consider that simplicity to be a feature, not a shortcoming.
I just tar a bunch of parquets if I need multiple tables. It is beautifully simple and easy to read in any language with its tar and parquet libraries.
Not to mention, northern latitudes get more sun that average in summer, and most northern countries have more reasonable working hours so people actually do go outside.
