That sounds vaguely like Google Glass; I wonder if a comeback would be on the horizon now that voice assistants are more widespread.
The maps are coming from mapbox. I set up a map style without labels.

For the cell image, I cut the image into map tile layers by scripting imagemagick. These tiles are served from my server.

For the overlaid areas I use geojson data, which I create and update with a geojson editor I am working on. For actual maps I have https://qquiz.com/makegeo/e.html . An example of non-map images, https://qquiz.com/boat1/e.html . The editor lacks instructions still, but is pretty easy to use.
They came to the schools in Portland, OR, as well and did the same blowtorch demo. Loved it.

Came to find out just a few years ago that my aunt, who is retired from NSA/CIA/Rand, was one of the people who translated the Soviet shuttle plans and helped discover that they were stolen from the USA. Apparently she was also involved, somehow, in every stealth program up until she retired. Exactly what she did...don't know, and she wouldn't elaborate.
They produce the entirety of Apple's Ax chips and AMD's lineup, plus the latest Snapdragons.
They are shipping many units per each Intel CPU shipping and offer things nobody else can offer. I imagine that makes them really profitable.
I've been shipping hundreds of thousands of masks to different institutions from China for the last 6 weeks - Universities, Government Agencies, Postal Companies, etc through my company ZipX.

Supply is a factor - the prices are ridiculous - but not the biggest limiting factor

The two main issues are

1. How do you trust the factory?

Unless you have worked with or vetted a factory for awhile how do you know the masks are actually rated at the level they say or that they will even deliver once they get the money?

So so many websites and factories can supposedly sell you millions of cheap BFE 99% or N95 masks yet did not even exist 2 weeks ago. Certificates can be photoshopped. Most of the countries that manufacture these days have no legal recourse if they scam you. We have local offices in all the countries we import from, did multiple visits in person, tested out larger and larger sample orders and they still tried to scam us by switching out the masks for used ones 3 weeks in.

2. How you do you deliver it?

The customs laws are changing all the time. Unless you have contacts there to check the current status you may have information that's a week out of date. India just banned the export of masks a few days ago. The Shanghai gateway blocks 3-ply masks to Hong Kong but the Shenzhen gateway doesn't.

Also flight space is extremely limited. You have to have dedicated space booked or a contact for large space like these supplies need. Your average person isn't going to get 1,000,000 of anything on a cargo plane within a week.

Flexport has been around long enough and has local offices and contacts to deal with these.

Thank God they ignored it. I've been developing apps on iOS for 3+ years and we get legal notices from Apple all the time that another company is trying to get our app shut down for completely frivolous reasons. If Apple put themselves as the arbiter of these disputes it would be horrible.
If your desktop/laptop runs macos, or you use an i Pad, you can send and receive SMS using iMessage. You can link as many devices as you want, they just need to login to the same iMessages account.
I was able to get out of a similar situation by threatening to contest the transaction. Basically told them “alright, have fun duking it out with my credit card company” and they immediately backed down.
This doesn’t produce a good outcome because violent, indefensible bad actors shout down others and each one drives away 100 reasonable people. Yours is naive idea, though I recognize you are advocating for the good of all.

> Well, except Reason is a platform with a right-libertarian that is generally supportive of similar things to the Republican Party and favorable to Republicans

That they agree with Republicans on many things is the point. But then they criticize the Republican position on drug legalization, mass surveillance, foreign wars, various proposals to spend tax money etc., which are correspondingly interesting because they're unlikely to be motivated by partisan animosity.

> whereas Taibbi, however leftist his editorial position might be, is generally not aligned with Democratic policies or politicians and spends disproportionate time targeting them

If he was 100.0% aligned with Democratic policies or politicians then he would be CNN or MSNBC and not be a suitable example.

> often presenting the exact same arguments are are being used by the Right on the exact same issues

Being the same argument isn't a problem, any more than Reason and Democrats using the same arguments against the War in Iraq. The interesting thing, and the thing that makes it a useful filter, is when it comes from someone not uniformly aligned with the opposing party, because it makes partisanship a less likely motive.

Also, are you criticizing the principle or the example? Would you like to provide your own example of some leftist criticism of the left? How about Greenwald or Chomsky?
But the people in the Masque of the Red Death actually wore masks at all times.
It's an essay against the common pattern of "architecting expensive highways to the destination" (teleological) as opposed to "cheap meandering towards payoffs" (convexity, optionality).

> Things have costs. Being open to pivoting has a cost. Of course no cost pivoting is a no-brainer, like the numberless graphs. But in the real world with costs what do you do?

The first is to avoid voluntary teleological ("I know where we're going and how we're going to get there, and here's the itemized budget for the next 3 years") costs.
> There's a surefire way to increase the supply of good teachers, increase salaries & benefits. Reduce classroom sizes.

This has all been done to very, very little effect.

Reading, Math and Science scores are basically flat since 1970. K-12 employee numbers have almost doubled over the same period and costs per student have almost tripled.

I don't feel that's really a counter-argument to it being less sophisticated. Sure SolarWinds might be a better match for its makers goals, but sophistication is not the same thing as fitting its purpose.
> You make a powerful critique of capital income and inheritance law.

You must have missed the part about entitlement to others’ labor, as inheritance is a transfer initiated by the owner of the property, and capital income is a voluntary exchange by all parties.

> You're the one advocating we systematically deprive people of income.

No, that was you who suggested that US GDP could be expropriated from its owners and redistributed to your favored recipients.

> I'm the one advocating everybody receive an income.

Yes, exactly. You’re advocating that some men with guns confiscate the income of the working class and give it to people whom you have deemed more deserving. You haven’t justified this, however.

> Property law is a government program - it requires enforcement to exist, aka the law.

Property is temporally and logically antecedent to property law.

> The principles of egalitarianism.

According to egalitarian principles, you have no such right.

> Libertarian ideology has broken your brain.

Less of this, please. Make your case on the merits or move on.

Permanent deprivation seems to be the more common standard as far as I can tell, not just deprivation.

Some code points are characters. Others are operators with constrained contexts in which they operate. Sufficiently long random sequences of characters and these context-specific operators are likely to apply the operators in invalid contexts. Invalid characters mean invalid strings.

For instance, there are code points that are effectively operators that add continental European accents (umlaut, accent grave, etc.) to Latin characters. (Also, there are redundant code points for accented characters.) There's a whole set of code points that are combinators for primitive components of Han characters, etc. (Also, there are redundant code points for pre-composed Han characters.) One way of writing Korean syllables strictly requires triplets of individual jamo components: initial consonant jamo, vowel jamo, and final consonant jamo. (Also, there are redundant code points for every valid triple-jamo syllable in Korean.)

A Han character with an ancient Greek digamma in its "radical" position, a poo emoji inside a box, a thousand umlauts, all three French accents, a Hangul jamo vowel sticking through its center, a Hebrew vowel point, and a Thai tone mark is not a valid character. Any string containing invalid characters is not a valid string.
Having spent a good deal with my of my career in the wilds of technical consulting, I can say with confidence that the product group and engineers at places like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon really are better than average. That's not to say they have a lock on all good engineers, because but they have very few bad ones.

You are right though, getting into one of the bigs isn't impossible with a reasonable amount of work studying for the interviews and aggressively seeking connections It's just that the people willing and able to do that work are already showing they have the right mindset to be a good dev a anywhere

It's even worse than feel-good babble. It's signaling TBL's shift from advocating a decentralized free internet towards a centralized censored internet.

"Free speech? Fundamental rights?" are what we want, but people who claim to want free speech and then claim they want "Support the best in humanity"? "Build strong communities"? ultimately mean that they want censorship.

It's basically what happened to social media and the internet. Remember that everyone from Reddit to Zuckerburg to news companies claimed they supported free speech a decade ago. Then money/politics/etc got involved and they started talking about ""Support the best in humanity"? "Build strong communities"?" and we have a censored dystopia on our hands.

In china, they use "harmony" as a propaganda tool to justify censorship. In the west, we use "civility" along with "best in humanity", "universal human rights", etc to justify censorship.
In any market, there’ll be a limited number of contractors capable of doing a really big job like building a railway line (or constructing an aircraft carrier, or a fighter jet, or whatever).

These contractors have a game theoretic choice to make: either they work hard to compete on price, or they inflate their budgets and count on their competitors to do so too, safe in the knowledge that there’s enoigh projects going around that everyone can have a nice fat slice of pie.

Theoretically a new competitor could enter the market and eat everyone’s lunch, but... all the institutional knowledge on how to build a train line or aircraft carrier belongs to the big players and it’s too hard to enter.

The difference in construction costs between various different markets seems to just be different game theoretic equilibria at work.
Keep going then, because literally none of those mention a "law" about getting the item for free on a mismatch of charged price and advertised price.

Bitcoin's public ledger makes transactions into prosecution futures.

This is why it's such a poor choice for revolutionaries and funding the marginalized. You leave a permanent indelible public record in posterity that will in the course of time be de-anonymized, automatically, and traced back to you.

I'm in essentially the same boat as you. I went to school for something non CS (Physics), found a job coding later on in life and discovered I really liked it, but now I'm withering away in a bad environment. It's pretty disheartening when you're trying to improve and really apply yourself to something, just to have bad management or coworker apathy destroy it.

All I can suggest (and it's what I'm doing) is to be constantly on the hunt. Spend a couple nights a week dedicated to the job search. Any other free time, try to hone your skills. If you're interested in something, whip up something in your free time. Portfolios are a good thing to have, even if it seems like interviewers never take a look at them. Just keep at it, you'll eventually get out.
Using your own ips works against you anyway - it’s easy for someone to backlist your ip range to keep people from seeing content that they don’t agree with. However blacklisting all of AWS, GCP, or Cloudflare breaks so many things that nobody does it - and that would be the same for any large CDN. DNS is still an issue but increasingly less so since all the work being done to bypass censorship by authoritarian regimes (aka keeping people from blocking internet ads) works just as well for controversial content.
damn that’s ballin, I didn’t even know people did that with code
I think the posts focusing on what you consider to be within your control and influence are more useful than a bland judgement of "smart or not smart."

You can be smart, but if you focus on external variables, if you choose to limit the efforts you'll put forth to create value out of your ideas, or spread knowledge that has value, or you put your ideas out there and they fail but you just blame everyone else - it doesn't really matter how smart you are or even if the ideas have value. It matters that you've taken whatever influence you have over the end result and handed it over to everyone else.

Similarly, there's just not a lot of value of idly lamenting that your ideas are great but not recognized by others. That the world is "populated by idiots."

Certainly, many of us have had ideas we cherished that didn't take off - most of us have seen smaller successes compared to Chris' game sales in the early 80s. That kind of success could certainly alter anyone's perception. Perhaps my own humble life has prevented me from becoming too focused on my own genius, but I also recognize the perspective from moments in my past. At this point, I feel like I'm fortunate to have a brain that works well enough to have the career I have, as well as the home life I enjoy. It's not going to make me super wealthy or even slightly famous, but I can extract a lot of joy out of my life. And it will not benefit me to complain that the potentially good ideas of my past will not be realized. But it's certainly possible as the balance of years ahead shrinks in comparison with years past, I'll find myself more focused on what could have been and wish the world did more to appreciate me.
There is a type of chain that is "I'm seeking to FIRE in 10 years and if I quit this job, I can't do that."

There is nothing "trustless". Our world is social by structure, all our actions contribute to various kinds of trust. Blockchains aren't trustless they're just unable to internally express trust relationship: there is always trust in the devs, in the exchanges, in the miners, in the other holders. There are political events like "blockchain forks", protocol upgrade, parameter changes..

So much for the trustless auditable log. Btw "auditable log" is easy (eg certificate transparency), the hard part is deciding what goes in it.

Having said that you always trust something, you better do it consciously and run some real consensus algorithm like raft or stellar consensus protocol.

I think one way to address this is to limit the scope and talk about specific groups or organizations rather than attempting to make an overly broad assertion about the culture of the entire region.
Lines and whitespace have different affordances. For example, a thick or double line may scream "drag me" whereas whitespace can mean "more things may go there in the future".

The thing is, you're talking about very specific examples. My point is that especially in UX design you can't use absolutes like that, such as "whitespace is always bad" or "whitespace is always good". This was also the author's point and this idea that "instead of whitespace we should use lines", "instead of whitespace we should pack things tighter" and so on is absurd.

Now here's UX Myth #35: "Modern UIs have good, established UX". Desktop, web, most everything I've seen are UX disasters blindly following trends. And just because you throw UX designers at a problem doesn't mean they will do a good job at it.

UX design is very much a "ƒfake it till you make it" industry. It's based on good principles and mostly the scientific method, but it has a lot of reproducibility issues because it deals with a lot of subjectiveness. Also, some good UX principles may not apply in all situations.

And think about this: Most people are actually bad at their job. The majority of devs and web designers aren't working at Google/Facebook, they're making awful wordpress sites. This is less visible in UX design but it's still true - the majority of UX devs aren't good.
So rather than think "oh, I guess those tests are rubbish and I don't actually have ADHD", your conclusion is "oh, ADHD must not exist then"?
FB is at best a footgun when it comes to small businesses.

Right now, if you don't exist on facebook, it's a bad hit to your sales.
However, existing on facebook requires the goodwill of... well facebook. They can wipe you out of existence in a few clicks, just by deleting your page.

It happened to me once. I was suddenly banned from posting ads on instagram. No explanation given. Then I appealed, and it was restored. Still no explanation given.

Of course I stopped paying those <insert insulting word here> pigs. But still, the situation remains: you have to be on facebook, but they can unjustly dispose of you.

Meta has a monopoly on communication channels. It's not better, it's just a monopoly. That needs to change.

"The living organism, in a situa­tion determined by the play of energy on the surface of the globe, ordinarily receives more energy than is necessary for maintain­ing life; the excess energy (wealth) can be used for the growth of a system (e.g., an organism); if the system can no longer grow, or if the excess cannot be completely absorbed in its growth, it must necessarily be lost without profit; it must be spent, will­ingly or not, gloriously or catastrophically."

I had not worked as a software engineer for about 20 years when I went back and attended Hack Reactor last year. I received multiple offers within two months of graduating that were well over $100k. Granted, I have a lot of years of business experience but I would honestly say that I ranked somewhere in the middle of my class at Hack Reactor. There were several coders I worked with there that I would hire in a minute. As other have noted it would be rare for someone to never have touch code before getting accepted at one of the top bootcamps. But for those who have done some independent study then made it through the rigorous program the results are quite astounding. My company recently hired a couple of new college CS grads and I was amazed at how little practical knowledge they had. I would take a Hack Reactor grad over them any day.
