I was informing to make them as relatable as they are to me. I also don’t have strong opinions on anything and am content with this reality. As in, I don’t find this controversial and I know why corporations act how they do and didn’t need it explained ( others may have needed that though). The data changes and so too does the reaction, more people should be less worried about irony or perceived hypocrisy.
He has accumulated quite some wealth. So corporate tax doesn't hurt that.
The most chilling reason for me to self-host is the third-party doctrine.

You don't really own any of your cloud data, even if it feels like it. If you want to own your data then it needs to reside on private computers in private spaces - though that does not preclude you from sharing but you lose control of what you share.
I haven't seen anyone mention freelancing, but sounds like a good solution for you.

From my experience there are 2 approaches to freelancing.
1. work hard and hustle, get larger and larger contracts and eventually make a lot of money (>faang level).

2. work little, use freelancing websites, make a little money paid hourly but with low stress, work when you want, stop when you want etc.

This might work for you if you don't care much about money and care more about your time. Also flexible enough to decide to work a bit more during specific period (say winter) and then take a few weeks/months break when you care to (summer).
Thanks. I agree with you. I dont think I can decline it since its already reflected in the system. That will look odd. Negotiation wont look good either since they dont have the budget. Anyways lets see.
That's very likely true. The context I was talking about probably rounds to "companies with <100 employees", or perhaps at order of magnitude larger at most. I'd imagine that it's quite different in organizations bigger than that. (Not that it's _quite_ accurate to round attitude off to size, but it's probably close enough.)
"God is often depicted as moody and overly worried about what we think of him."

Moodiness? I can give you human examples of this trait; but what specifically do you have in mind about God that portrays Him as such? This way I know we are communicating about the same thing.

"Overly worried" - I know of no text in all of the Bible that portrays God as anxious about anything. Maybe you mean to say "chronically concerned with" what people think?

The categories of love and hate as you are discussing seem to require a little work. Whenever we see God's unchanging love discussed, at least Scripturally, to what does it refer? And if God chose not to love, would that make Him less than divine somehow?

I'm asking these questions (not attacking! I value your response!) because whenever we go into the "my personal belief is..." it seems prudent to examine whether such beliefs have rational warrant, or are they simply another way of wishing the world worked that way?

"Humans are arrogant and we project our own humanness onto everything" -- that is utterly true. Thank you for acknowledging it. But could it be you are projecting your own preferences of what God would be like if He existed? How do you escape this human flaw while the rest of us can't or won't?

By the way, if God turns out to be real and He is preeminently concerned with what you think about Him, what grounds would have to object to His preoccupation with making you see how ultimate and satisfying He is?
This headline and story frame relies on a strained redefinition of what people usually mean by an "absolute" measure of poverty.

The source paper doesn't have this problem: neither its title nor abstract refer to "absolute" poverty or even "global poverty" (which would tend make people think of rates-of-poverty). The paper clearly considers just the "floor" experienced by the "poorest" (of which there are fewer).

In discussing its own data sources, the paper also says outright:

"The latest results from these data confirm past findings that the developing world has seen impressive progress against absolute poverty over the last 30 years, with signs of acceleration since 2000."

The WSJ story's author/editor/headline-writer should be embarrassed by the confusion-creating spin they've added.
Art has no utility but it exists in a world where the people that make it need food, water, warmth and shelter and those have always had a cost.

I think his thesis stands up pretty well. Artists gotta fucking eat and that's going to have a big impact on what and how things are made.
It took me over a year to get the stock certificates for a well known, highly funded (> $80m total) company. CFO kept blowing me off. I kept emailing every few months. Finally got it.

A lot of "don't worry we recorded it", but when I give you a 5-figures check I want physical proof! Based on this article, looks like I was well justified in this.
I was not trying to be sarcastic here. I was summarising the articles defence of the 0.01%. It really is a subtle and powerful attack on the mega wealthy thinly disguised as a defence.
I actually created a site for hosting text (that looked pretty) that doesn't require signup and is very minimal and clean: http://www.millisay.com

Right now it doesn't support any markdown or image embedding mainly because not too many people use it, but I wouldn't be opposed to adding it if users saw the need.
I wrote a similar tool while debugging a web scraper for my current dayjob employer, but it was buried inside of our application rather than standalone.

(Also, it was PHP, which a lot of people hate.)
Some few businesses are run on an honest and overt level IME. In general they are not major chains and certainly not ones that are floated. YMMV.
I had a very tiring time with basecamp with my previous employer.
I don't think basecamp is suited for projects related to programming and development. And it's so simple.
Random tangential thought:

There are many areas in the world where you can eat a lot more than this for $3 a day. I lived on $2/day in India for a year (was working in microfinance and wanted to live like my borrowers). I got full vegetarian meals made for me in a major city (Ahmedabad) at that price.

Something to consider.

Right, probably I'm over-analyzing this and should just trust my guts
That would, indeed, be an uncomfortable thing to let go of, since they are our direct perceptions.

Relativity tells us things get weird at high velocities, but our daily perception is basically correct. Quantum theory seems to suggest that solid, tangible reality isn't at all like our day-to-day experience. That's a pretty decent leap to ask of people.
I'm with you that a lot of mass media writing about AI is silly, but I think this is article is not in that category. For example, it doesn't "aver [Speech2Face] is transphobic", that's from a statement by Alex Hanna, and that statement is immediately followed by comments from other people questioning the statement, and the piece in general is pretty even-keeled about giving space to criticisms and responses.

I think the article paints a good picture of the machine learning research community figuring out how to grapple with the growing number of people who want to probe its ethics, without portraying anybody as a villain.
This stuff is why USB-C PD scares me.

You've got these manufactures that are struggling to make basic AC->DC inverters and now you want to throw on a negotiation step? Yeah, not going to end well for these cost cutting idiots.

There are going to be destroyed devices and fires because some idiot decides "Just hard wire 20v and be done with it!"
The 1st generation Magic Mouse took AA batteries, the 2nd gen had the charging port.
cuda is basically equivalent to the combination of the instruction set and the C/C++ language, API and standard library, and all bundled together. In the CPU's case, C/C++, API and standard library are designed to be hardware platform agnostic, instruction sets is separate and open, and x86 have two players. Cuda became this way because it is designed by the hardware company and its business need. We really should be thankful that C/C++, open compilers, API and library exists in the CPU world back then. And hardware vendors like Intel published raw instruction sets and allow any software to target the instruction sets. I can't imagine in a world where people uses the programming language and libraries designed by a hardware CPU company and all that software only runs on hardware from such company.
There are soooo many problems with electronic records that it's hard to even summarize. But the biggest few, in my opinion:

1) The software influences the medical workflow and becomes a major distraction to visits. What was completely analog and free-form is now binned, discrete, and made more complex.

2) Desired outcome affects what and how things are recorded, instead of vice-versa. Staff learn what they have to do to get the orders or prescription or billing output that they need, which often doesn't line up with the actual diagnosis.

3) It reduces productivity, causes physician burnout, and put most small practices out of business. (Any practice not large enough to self-host records hire and have full time IT/software staff were basically strong armed into selling out to hospitals or other large org.)

4) It tracks both efficiency and patient satisfaction in the same system as the records and billing, which leads to some pretty perverse incentives on multiple levels. (As much heat as the drug companies over the opiod crisis, I'd argue doctors worried about dinging their patient satisfaction scores were just as responsible, by being afraid to tell too many patients "no".)

It goes on... Just a huge cluster of poorly thought out unintended consequences.

And that's just the medical side of things. The technical, financial, and legal aspects all have similar issues.
That reminds me of Basecamps article about "The majestic monolith" https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-majestic-monolith/
I am too uninformed to understand what is happening.
But I like in principle this kinds of thing -- and that must have been some work to get working, so kudos!

Could you provide a short introduction what that does?
Wikipedia says that "Electrolysis of water is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas" but what I see there seems to be the reverse: merging hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Sorry, I was too afraid of chemistry back in school and now I'm paying for it.
The normal (office) working hours here are 37.5 hours per week, excluding lunch break, which is usually 30 minutes. That breaks down to 7.5 hours of work + 30 minutes of lunch break, meaning you get in at 8am and leave at 4pm.
If you're working with files, another (perhaps more reliable) way is `rm ./-rf`.
As an (ex-)C++ developer, this is mainly my feeling too. Rust solves many problems in a very elegant way, but those problems are things that most experienced/skilled C++ developers solved by sticking to a fixed set of best practices, mostly avoiding these problems.

Most C++ developers I talk to about Rust express the same sentiment, they usually like the idea, but aren't personally interested in learning it because it solves problems they're rarely confronted with.

I tried picking up Rust a few times since it does interest me, and I like trying and learning new things, but I currently don't have the time to really dive into it. Go on the other hand took no time at all to get into, and was promoted pretty quickly into one of the more frequently used tools in my toolbox, just like Python.
I suspect risk taking is only encouraged outside their core business.
They place employee performance above all else and strive to create a place where high performers want to work

If that was actually true, then they wouldn't fire people automatically based on two mistakes -- because high performers make mistakes. And then they learn a lot from those mistakes and become even higher performers. Apparently not at Netflix, however.
Would you guys care to elaborate on some point in the future just what it was about the Android platform that let to your app being the "buggiest" on it of the three?

Your experience might contain some good tips or lessons learned for other Android developers.
This post has nothing to do with a leather cover crashing the Kindle (apart from the tags and the URL). Are people up voting this before having read the actual article or am I missing something?
Ähm... has the page changed? There is not a single mention of a Kindle crash, and the DDG summary of the page when searching for the title shows something completely different than what I see there. Hm.
From what I've heard: They don't want third-parties to control access to their customer base. They don't want to pay third party sites bounties for customer acquisition. And they don't want to support some specific companies because of their connections to their competitors. (Orbitz was actually created by Continental, Delta, Northwest, et al to compete with Travelocity despite anti-trust concerns.)
Rubinius can run pure ruby code much faster than YARV because of things like a better GC and the ability to compile ruby code down to machine code (a JIT compiler).

Rubinius is much easier to work and understand than YARV because much of the core functionality is written in Ruby itself. This lends itself to being easier to hack on and add features to.
He is listed on Angel List so I would assume so.
I think the problem is, you are (with merit) criticizing Pearson for a crappy test. This isn't specifically Common Core's problem, this is Pearsons problem for a pretty awkward approach to Common Cores standard.

You could argue that because Common Core was adopted, Pearson and all of the other curriculum/lesson planning content creators were forced to build out new, less vetted curriculum, which has not been battle tested. That would be true, but it's not specifically Common Core's fault. It's simply quality control issues for Pearson and others for not vetting their methodology.

Here is your big chance: begin to write your own curriculum, and do a better job. Upset the entrenched Pearson curriculum. Be the change you want to see

I don't think that was his motivation, I think his motivation was stated quite clearly in the abstract:

That really depends on the distribution of said numbers. You're probably assuming uniform distribution, but there are power law distributions like wealth where the 26 richest people own as much as the bottom 3.8 billion combined.

>Compared to flammable liquid fires at 180,000 per year,

This is a straw-man argument too. You're comparing battery fires to all vehicle fires. Ask any mechanic and they will tell you vehicle electronics systems are the primary source of crispness with stalled electric motors and rodent damage being the primary sources. Regardless of how it gets its motive power a vehicle's power-train rarely catches fire compared to other things that catch fire (which is probably in part why the NHTSA is interested in this).

Your original post was missing explanation because you referenced the original analogy without addressing how the original analogy no longer applied to the scenario you were discussing.

For what it's worth, in all my replies I have not been confused about the behavior of a CPU, but only about how you are trying to use the analogy to fit your exposition.
Yes. I moved. I wanted to. There is no substitute to meeting your friends at elevenses (tea at 11 in the morning), pubs etc. Getting the degree is just 10% of the fun.
Breaking TOS, not necessarily breaking laws.
Ok I'll try. All these people you mention are long-dead white men you are 'supposed' to like because it gives you social status. If they didn't exist there would probably be others you should like to give you signal how cultivated you are. You are forced to partake in their creations in school because of some mistaken cargo cult thinking "successful people like these artists so if force every to read/listen to/look at their creations they will be successful too!"

Contemporary pop art, on the other hand, entertains huge masses of people, gives them pleasure and delight, and makes their days happier.
A good friend of mine did what Joe Rogan did: just shave it all off.

The funny thing is that they both said the same thing: "I was so worried about how my thinning hair looked that I just decided to shave my head, and havent looked back since"

And its funny they both look great completely bald - in fact with Joe Rogan, he looks odd to see old pics of him with hair.

I dont know if I could pull off a full bald shave because I have a small head and big ears :-)
This describes Walmart, Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, etc or pretty much any low level retail job. I don't think any employer at all really gives a flying fuck about their employees though. You start making $70k+ and they seem to care, just a tiny little bit but I think it's all mostly to put on a show and really only about making money. Reality hurts.
They do believe SIDS has a biological component
The title is incorrect. No Bitcoin Core developers have been sued. Those emails threaten legal action. But so far, they're just emails.
uBlock Origin on Firefox Android gave me the eye.
Last time I looked, this technology was not functional yet it seemed like they were trying to commercialize it in the non-functional state by pretending it was a trial. The hangup involved the step between "we inject the cultured stem cells" and "those cells actually grow hair." Have they overcome this barrier? Or is this still a "trial" that a reasonably informed person would expect to have an infinitesimal chance of success wrapped in press releases that suggest a rosier picture?
What is so different about the PS2 version? Now that you have the source code for PC, why is it a lot of work to port it to PS2?

By the way, this project is so cool. Thanks for making this!
Unrelated to the algorithm, I’ve found that doing things “by hand” is a surprisingly good way to develop intuition for otherwise opaque concepts. I wonder if it’s a function of doing work more slowly or paying closer attention. Examples include writing code written by others and working through math on paper.

Neither of the absurd oversimplifications the two of us have offered are how investment works. That was kind of my point.

That said, I still think my provocation is more on point. See: opportunity cost.
Visual Studio Code has an excellent visual debugger for Go. I'm certain it's the same experience for C/C++.
Yeah. PPAs are such a user-unfriendly alternative to the AUR, which just has everything.

Also, Ubuntu (with GNOME), Kubuntu, and Xubuntu (but not Lubuntu...) recently switched to some new crypto greeter (the thing you put your password into to unlock your encrypted drive at boot) which glitches out very badly. On every other boot, it flickers between its graphical facade and the underlying CLI prompt, and single keypresses are interpreted as multiple ones. Lubuntu, however, uses the same crypto greeter as Manjaro seems to, which still works.

Also, a funny thing: my keyboard (a Code V3)'s Num/Caps Lock LED keys don't illuminate at all in any of the *buntus, though they do in Debian, Manjaro, and Arch (on both newer and older kernels than Ubuntu 20.04 currently uses).

It's pretty disappointing.

On the other hand, after around 2 years of using Manjaro without problems, kernel 5.10 got me recently. :D It has big problems. Same problems in Arch. But, unlike in Arch, a kernel rollback in Manjaro is an in-OS GUI and/or a GRUB selection away. Manjaro's been the sweet spot for me, and it looks like it'll continue to be.

On the other hand², some software I recently had to build explicitly refuses to run on any unsupported *nix systems, and it doesn't support Arch or Arch-flavored distros. :c (Hence my recent adventures in Ubuntu.)

So there's definite downsides to straying off of the Ubuntu-flavored Linux reservation, but Ubuntu's always been surprisingly buggy for me compared to Arch and Manjaro.
I think if you're at the level of A or B player, then you're already at the top of the field. There's a lot more letters in the alphabet, and a lot more difference in experience that people can have.

My company for example will hire F players. We'll even hire G or H players too. Those are the roles that we are actually hiring for when we open up an entry level job. However if a C player comes along, naive and fresh out of a masters program, we'll also snap them up and pay an absolutely exorbitant rate compared to the normal salary range for their position because we want them to stay for at least 5 years. In 5 years, if they improve they'll be A or B players and we'll bump them into Director level roles in the hope that they will stay due to the responsibility and freedom the role offers even though we can't pay Google-level salaries.

Having a posted initial salary will just scare off a candidate who is unnaturally good versus the rest of the local market.

Disclaimer:

I like to think I am/was a solid C rated developer. If you are an A player, I bow to your wisdom. I have never applied to FAANG. I know I wouldn't make even the phone cut.
