Your expectation is a worthwhile ideal, but it's very far out of the reach of modern medicine. Doctors are pretty good at treating symptoms, but when it comes to root causes of serious diseases, they're pretty bad at treating them without inflicting collateral damage on some other body system. Especially if the treatment involves disrupting a body process designed by evolution.

The body owes as much of its function to the ways its systems interact as it does to the individual systems. And we're pretty much at a loss when it comes to tracing the mechanism of those interactions.

In other words, I strongly suspect that until we're all flying around Mars in hover cars, any "don't worry about sugar anymore" treatment will end up being harmful in some insidious, not-discovered-until-years-later way.
If you're tracking expenses, you could maybe do a coupon business model? Like, people pay to send coupons to folks who are buying things in their target market.

And I'm not a youngin'

All this routine Bullshit is "easy" if you turn you brain off. If you've alive, noticing things, going to the bank is torture, idiocy, ridiculous. Yes, young people hate this stuff long after they gain the skills to deal with it because they're brains aren't turned-off yet. And, yes, I'm proud to say I hate laundry, going to the bank, routine, all of it... I'm by no mean young but I'm to still be alive.

The money is in the head, not in the long tail. It is possible to make money off the long tail by never treating anything other than the head as a potential head. You will miss some middle of the distribution customers, sure, but you won't spend resources of hundreds if not thousands "influencers" that don't actually influence anyone.

Based on what I have experienced, those that have real decision making power in companies that will make a high six to seven figure purchases simply do not have time to vet their home projects where they are going to spending $100/year. The grandstanding arguments about importance of their projects come from people who probably won't even spend $100/year
I'm trying to imagine how that works. Imagine you've got a nueral net. One node identifies the number of feet. One node identifies that number of wings. One node identifies color. This feeds into a layer that tries to predict what animal it is.

With backprop, you can sort of assume that given enough scale your algo will identify these important features. With local learning, wouldn't you get a tendency to identify the easily identifiable features many times? Is there a need for a sort of middleman like a one arm bandit kind of thing that makes a decision to spawn and despawn child nodes to explore the space more?
For most circuits what you say would be true. But the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is special. As http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/the-court/court-jurisdiction says, their jurisdiction is national and determined by subject matter.

That said I do not actually know whether they would be binding on another circuit court. But they are definitely binding on all federal courts lower than that.

However that question is sort of moot. It is extremely easy for the entity filing the case for infringement to include something about patent or trademark in the suit, which guarantees that you wind up in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Where that ruling is binding.
What? You did receive security updates from LG before? Really?
Makes sense, and I am definitely not an expert on fair use. I'll cross out "clearly" in my aside above.

I was really just responding to the implication that SCOTUS did the right thing because "it would be a nightmare scenario" otherwise.

Hah. I worked for that startup before I moved to Chicago. I suspect that doing SV style startups is something that is hard to do outside of SV and as it gets "taught" in B-schools around the world more and more people will try to emulate it poorly.

Maybe I run in the wrong circles, but developer compensation is actually slightly elevated due to the trading houses. This is cyclic to some degree but when trading houses are flush they tend to be able to just come over the top of other businesses (and they have a culture of doing so). I think that also depresses the value of "equity" compensation. Lots and lots of developers in Chicago actually know how options work (how to price them etc) and are weaned on a diet of cash bonuses. It makes equity packages unattractive to that class of developer. Maybe that has a trickle down effect that causes equity to not be a major compensation component?
Yes we've tried it, it's not as stable as plain vanilla R and it's not as powerful in terms of dev tools support (mostly productivity wise, might just be because we are used to them) as RStudio, Eclipse+StatET, Notepad++ w/custom language items.

Nope. It’s even called out by Twitter that it’s been a culmination over time.
1. A small amount of anxiety is normal and even very useful - but not when it's a constant thing. It sounds to me like you may need to be on medication for this. Your family doctor might be able to help you with this (or if they can't they will refer you to a specialist who can - like a psychiatrist.)

2. You've mentioned feelings of low self-worth. That's a classic sign of depression. The racing mind and jumbled thoughts overlaps with many different illnesses though. You definitely want to bring this up with your doctor (especially the last part) as it might be a sign of something more serious (not to scare you or anything.)

On a personal level: try to celebrate your own successes more rather than being overly interested in what other people are doing. There's always going to be someone doing better and if you're always looking at them you forget the progress you have made. For the 'lost the will to code' issue -- its hard to say what the cause is. Depression causes a loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, but honestly you might just be burned out and fried from the repetition.

Practically, I can understand why you would feel stressed out over financials. If I were you I'd look into moving somewhere with a very low cost of living and find yourself a high paying remote gig (not sure how practical this is for you -- probably asking a lot if you have a family and/or mortgage, idk.) I wouldn't bother learning any new skills tho. It sounds like you already have years of experience. You just have to sell your existing engineering skills and how they translate to designing and implementing different systems with any tech.

Good luck, hope your situation improves.
> 50 applications submitted

This is an enormous red flag to me. Submitting dozens of applications almost certainly means you're not putting the required thought and attention into each one. For any given job application, you should be spending a good amount of time analyzing the job posting and researching the company and tweaking your resume so your accomplishments and responsibilities match what they're looking for.

You did PHP and JS at your last job but you're applying for a JS job? Cut down the PHP mentions and emphasize your JS-related accomplishments. You worked on e-commerce but you want a job at a content/publishing company? List an accomplishment or responsibility related to the handling of product content.

If you're doing it right, you should not have time to submit 50 applications. The shotgun approach is lazy and ineffective.

For the record, you're far from the only one who suffers from the shotgun approach. It seems extremely common, and as such, the "why isn't it working" question is very common.
What? Human cloning is basically possible but illegal, we can absolutely grow artificial organs (intestine, heart, certain brain structures), life extension and diseases cures are closer via Crispr, metabolomics has advanced, hospitals use glycomics for diagnosis, gene therapy is used in clinical trials, machine learning for materials science, drug discovery and protein folding is coming along.

> I have pretty specific professional interests (in an area that I'm quite experienced in) and aiming high, so there is not a lot of vacancies, that I'd be willing to consider. After filtering for remote-friendliness, what I'm left with is just a few positions.

There's your conundrum. Having specific professional interests in an area you're experienced in is great...assuming that specialization has enough market demand liquidity for you to not be in this situation. If that's no longer the case, perhaps it's worth asking if you'd be willing to negotiate on what you're looking for?

I've done a variety of things so as far as what I have been looking for with my current search, it's really more a high growth company that places a premium on backfilling senior talent, which likely means I'll get (read: have already gotten) a very attractive offer. It's true that this means I am somewhat compromising on picking specific things that I want to do, but the reason I do it is because I'd rather bet on a company than a role, and if I do it this way, I only really have to find one company that has more to lose by not hiring me than hiring me.

I guess that's probably the advice (perhaps unsolicited) I'd give to you -- are you flexible with what you want to do but want to be well compensated and work with a company that has defensible growth? In that case, it might make more sense to take a position that might not be ideal today but is in a growing org where you can make it closer to something that would have the specifics you like. Do you want to do a very specific role? Well, unless it opens your pool of potential companies rather than closes it, you'll have to work within the diminished market demand for it, which leads the the sort of frustration you express.
This looks amazing. Thanks
Lots of Bitcoin simply get lost and people are betting on this loss too. You are also forgetting the ultimate irony behind long term deflation. At some point your Bitcoin will be worth millions in dollars but will the dollar actually buy you that much product or service if there aren't enough young people to take care of everything?
After being through 14 interviews at Google and getting no offer I can't recommend anyone their hiring process.
I don't see anything above justifying your "scammy" word, which is libelous thrown without back-up and therefore does reflect badly on you. But please, go on: justify it. I'll help by citing the dictionary definition of "scam":

Noun: a dishonest scheme; a fraud.

"fraud": "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain."

Also, as the tweet I linked above said, we didn't profit from either the fast-fixed error of showing unverified creators as being tipable with our token grants to users (we don't make money recirculating our own grants) or the refgate case (we turned off that future-share-of-trading-commission affiliate revenue with Binance).

Hanlon's razor explains these blunders without jumping to scam or fraud, which is a crime we have to fight on the Brave Ads front, so I take it seriously.

Should someone not use Brave on account of these two mistakes? Not for me to say; no browser is perfect. But they were not scams or frauds, and we fixed code and design processes to avoid anything like them in the future.
I don't see your comment that way. I mean usually there's a movement flameward in each step, so it's always a matter of degree. But the comment that crossed the line, as I see it, is the one I replied to.
Thanks for engaging. I agree that there are other jobs that are more dangerous in terms of on the job deaths.

I think that an interesting distinction is that when it comes to police, the danger comes from other humans. That is to say, their threat model is people intentionally trying to kill them, opposed to workplace accidents. In this way, the police are more similar to military forces, who also have a siege mentality.

While you point out that there were 59 police killings, this number may not capture the full picture. It is worth considering that there were 1000 fatal shootings by police and an estimated 2000 non-fatal shootings.[1] That is 450 per 100,000 per year. This is just the tip of the iceberg as it doesn't include shootings where nobody was injured, or violent interactions without guns. Violent nonfatal injuries and illnesses resulting in days away from work among police officers occurred at a rate of 121.7 per 100,000 FTE workers in 2018; the rate for all occupations was 7.3. [2] In one study 10% of police surveyed reported that they had killed or seriously injured someone during the first three years of their career. The average officer experiences 188 traumatic events in their career and have PTSD and depression rates 5X the general population, and the highest suicide rate of any profession.[3]

For me, this paints a picture of a job where violence and hostility is the norm.
I point this out not to excuse the bad behavior of some police, but increase our understanding of it.

>Given that the estimated domestic violence rate for police officers is 40%[3] and the known link between domestic abuse and homicide[4], a pregnant woman married to or living with a cop might have a higher chance of being murdered than her cop spouse.

This would not surprise me at all, given what I stated above. The really interesting question is WHY and what conclusions can we draw from this?

I think standards development should be open, so Switzerland is the ideal host in any geopolitical situation. Otherwise, I do think the American economy could benefit from restrictions on imports. It's called import substitution economics, which worked very well for american steel back in the late 19th century. Not sure if it'll work again though. Things are different now.
There are more layers to an issue than that.

For instance the story about Venezuela and Adobe shows the issue that the broadly applied policies of the U.S. can affect the livelihood of individual artists and designers.

There are more examples like that. (YouTube and COPPA, ...) Now people around the world can fear that some strange new or old policy from the U.S. take their income away. With the current political climate in the US that could be a serious risk.
I think you're inferring a lot of things I didn't say (and an unhealthy number I don't agree with).

"We" in this case is shorthand for you and I. It seems you resent that association, so I apologize for extending it.

Regarding economics, I didn't say economic harm. I was simply asking what the actual harm is. Setting aside the question of whether something that can't be measured exists, let's try for an easier bar: can a harm that can't even be articulated exist?

Regarding Trump and Brexit, my views there are not germane to this conversation-- but since you asked and will undoubtedly try to force the issue, I'll state that I oppose both.

On the topic of telling the Portuguese to start speaking English-- if you think that was where I was heading here you're way off the mark and I don't think that's my fault.
While I agree, CodePlay, Khronos, Intel, and LLVM think otherwise with their SYSCL, oneAPI and LLVM bitcode to FPGA ongoing projects.

Yes but no; yes in that you _can_ do that, no in that all available software has been built to assume that the base of memory at 0x0000. It can be done but there's probably not much point. Which is a shame as it's a really nice-looking machine...
Apple some time ago recognized that they won't be able to compete on software with other BigTech giants so they are building an environment where certain software advancements are crippled. User activity data will be important to tune algorithms for maximum utility and by restricting access to user data for others, Apple wants to give itself the best shot to stay in the game.

In the long run this will be a net loss for the Apple customers whose experiences will likely suffer compared to Android and other players. Already in my subjective opinion Android on Pixel phones provides a much richer and engaging environment than iOS and the difference will only become even more pronounced.

Now it's a race. Will Apple superior hardware and privacy focus draw the majority of users before Google and others deliver clearly better software experiences, or whether the difference in software smarts will cause users to gravitate away from the walled garden of iOS and towards more permissive ecosystems.
> There are more law graduates than jobs. But starting salaries haven't gone down.

Perhaps this isn't true? It's possible that salaries for lawyers are not going down, but that salaries for law graduates are going down (because not all law grads become lawyers).

Also, I thought salaries outside the major firms have cratered? (Or maybe were never all that high to begin with but law school has become crazy expensive and the lower ranked schools are churning out more and more people? IDK.)

'Access to shared data' for proprietary, untrusted "apps" is an anti-pattern that even iOS and Android are now getting away from. If a JavaScript app needs to access some sort of complex directory structure, that can happen within current API's by locally "uploading" and "downloading" a standard archive format, e.g. a .ZIP file.
