ende··on YouTube TV loses ESPN, ABC and other Disney channels in fee dispute
Google has handled themselves better than the content providers in past disputes, and the providers typically fold. I think Google has garnered goodwill by proactively reducing their prices etc.

Liberal does not mean progressive.

By constraining all your communications to a game of interstellar rock paper scissors?

I now have to imagine that Quantum Game Theory is a thing that exists.
ende··on Asking developers to do QA is broken – why anyone should own QA
Just don't have sales and marketing ;)
ende··on Asking developers to do QA is broken – why anyone should own QA
This is the classic case of development velocity pitted against operational stability. Entirely different incentives, and when vested into the same role that role is bound to prioritize one incentive over the other. For this reason I think they must be separated at least by body if not by team. They certainly need to separated by different managers.

I tend to think QA is perhaps well situated alongside Ops("DevOps"), and very close to Product + Design.

Year round fair weather is a public policy?
ende··on Chick Corea has died
Didn’t Corea and Fleck also do something along those lines with a third person? I remember the name “Trio”. Can’t remember who the third was though.. maybe Jean Luc Ponty or Stanley Clark?

Cringe.

Good point.

You’re lucky! Schwab is fantastic, and I use it for all my personal banking and brokerage, but most employer 401ks have been through fidelity and others.

There really needs to be consumer protections against software-EOL due to mergers/acquisitions, or google just killing things for no reason.

Any commercial software based service like this needs to be a contract with consumer society.

ende··on Simple Bank Is Closing
Yeah. It just made me think how nice “software memorial services” could be for people to express gratitude for these endeavors.
ende··on Slack is down
Or, or... and bear with me here... or, packaged click-button solutions with paid (contractually obligated) dedicated product support is a better use of our short time, more often than not.

A localized reversal of entropy.
ende··on Upptime – GitHub-powered open-source uptime monitor and status page
Yeah, MS has been pretty vague so far on gha usage. Basically “have fun; don’t go crazy”. I imagine they are waiting and collecting more data before opting to impose any specific usage constraints.
ende··on Leaf-cutter ants have rocky crystal armor, never before seen in insects
Just wait until they dig deep enough to craft iron and diamond armor.
ende··on US Navy destroyer shoots down an ICBM in milestone test
This argument already played out between the carrier and sub fleets during the Cold War. The carrier is not the next battleship, that’s just lazy analysis.
ende··on US Navy destroyer shoots down an ICBM in milestone test
You’re ignoring the part where the carrier fleets withdraw out of range of any potential threats during the A2AD phase of an emergent combat theatre until the environment is safe for them to resume closer area support.
ende··on US Navy destroyer shoots down an ICBM in milestone test
Not necessarily - carriers are a peace-time fleet.. their value is in force projection and unparalleled logistics.

When it comes to a shooting war though, the US Navy has an entirely separate war-time sub fleet. The carrier fleets would back off to a safe distance and provide logistic support until the subs and bombers decapitated enemy weapon and radar systems, and air superiority could be established. Then the carriers could move in to provide close air support missions and targeted air strikes.

ende··on RCEP, the world’s biggest trade agreement
There will be no 180 so long as china’s reckless belligerence in the region continues. In a time when china could have consolidated its soft power, it ends up pissing off nearly every neighbor and starts a land war with India. The Quad is likely to be more influential in the region than this trade agreement.

This is either going 28 Days Later or Planet of the Apes.

There’s a lot more to becoming a naval power than just building ships.
ende··on California appeals court rules Uber, Lyft must reclassify drivers as employees
The answer to this likely depends on different drivers. Maybe a single blanket policy is not the answer.

The academic literature is overwhelming support of the argument that legislative term limits have zero value. They only lead to inexperienced, ineffective legislators.
ende··on Common problems I see in technical interviews
Organize. Lobby our legislators. Put that money to use.
ende··on Propaganda, censorship, and surveillance are all attributes of monopoly
It’s a form of recency bias. Some people need to believe that the place and time they occupy is the most significant.
