No, I think "standard market rates" are what employers are paying their engineer who has been there for a few years (and whom they are currently paying below what he/she could get if they left for another job) or possibly what someone would pay for a "standard software engineer" who really needed a job.

If you want to attract exceptional engineers then by gosh, you might just have to pay exceptional salaries.

At the end of the day, it's a business relationship and an intelligent engineer is quite justified in capturing some of the value that he or she generates.
It's a big sacrifice! I'm not denying that.
re: protestors vs journalists, one is an active participant in the story and the other is an observer. While I do think protestors deserve respect, I feel journalists should be given wider protection (for example, assembly is cited as unlawful, protestors must disperse. Journalists should be allowed to stay and document what happens).

The second part, I won't disagree.
Can't see what could possibly go wrong.
There is the TANGENT algorithm: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~zha/CSE8801/CF/p657-onuma.pdf

Applied to a social graph, it would (hypothetically) find content that is both recommended by friends and probably new to you.
I don't think it would be that much of a problem. Its not like he would be the only "loose canon" in academics.
Speaking only for myself: I strongly support people sharing as much music and whatever else as they want because the RIAA / MPAA are thieves. Those organizations have strongly supported making people pay per device they own which is just fucking ridiculous. If I buy a CD, I should be able to listen to it in my car, on my ipod while walking, on my computer at work, and on my stereo at home. Until the RIAA/MPAA/artists start advocating for reasonable laws, I just can't be bothered to care. Not to mention their insistence on DRM.

Frankly, I view this as a solved problem -- itunes has demonstrated that as long as prices are reasonable and the service is extremely convenient, most people will just pay instead of bothering with p2p stuff.

Since I largely view Congress as owned by Disney et al, I view p2p effort / thepiratebay et al as a more than justified counterbalance.
It seems to me like you're unwilling to listen to others' opinions on this topic, because it's too emotional of a topic for you.

You can't say "I'm disregarding all of these arguments" and then claim there aren't any proper arguments against intellectual property.
I wish I still knew it, but it's one of those things you need to use frequently to retain.
It's just big government rubbing the back of big industry, nothing new, just the format has changed.

It's all about money and who has the biggest lobbyists.

Also remember that making lots of laws and then enforcement is a big income generator for government on all levels.
I am not convinced though. I don't think nooglers are assigned to Google Search team. They won't expose their search-algorithm to a rookie.
It's our decision as a society how much of a monopoly we grant copyright holders, and whether we also grant them the ability to seize property, like domain names, without due process.

Our society is richer because Jobs and Wozniak, before they founded Apple, helped people steal telecommunications services. The world is more connected because Zennstrom and Friis, before they made Skype, behaved like 'scum' in your eyes with file-sharing Kazaa. Our culture is richer because whole genres of music and other creative arts have at times ignored the rules against sampling, collage, and other reuse.

The simple 'always defer to all prior rules' argument isn't welfare-maximizing for either individuals or the world.

And even as we enforce current laws, which I accept as a general necessity, the accused deserve a chance to make their case, and the standards for enforcement need to be clear and applied evenly. A surprise domain-name seizure without notice only makes sense in emergency situations.
Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not the same thing as dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder. (Which is I believe what you were suggesting with that joke.)

From Wikipedia:

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of the
process of thinking and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly
manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions,
or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant
social or occupational dysfunction.

I don't know if you've ever driven in an American city, but those streets can barely fit a single lane of car traffic in some cases. Philadelphia in particular has streets so narrow that the line of parked cars along the side is enough to basically block the whole street. It's already incredibly uncomfortable to drive on those streets, so I don't get why you're so surprised that people would be angry about further increasing their already quite high levels of discomfort.
Backwards compatibility is the reason why C++ became what it is today, and why it prevailed over other (similar/better?) languages designed at the time. Herb Sutter himself discusses this in the talk here: https://herbsutter.com/2020/07/30/c-on-sea-video-posted-brid...

This fear is well-founded. Changing a system is a lot riskier than leaving it alone and building things around the periphery. Changing it requires a deep understanding of the implications of the changes, the impact on consumers/clients/other systems, etc.

Doing that continuously does accrete complexity. But there is often a higher cost to fixing a problem rather than working around it.
I actually have a picture of my Opa delivering bread in the 1920s with a cargo bike (bakfiets) in the Netherlands.
Then I didn't quite get my point across.

I'm not at all saying "Be antisocial at work". That just makes for a shitty time for everyone. What I was trying to get to was "dont use work as a way to make friends as well", since many of those relationships are predicated upon working said job. It's all too easy to lose a job and be simultaneously be isolated by having all your 'friend network' in a group that no longer talks or relates to you.

By having people who are your friends outside work, how you change jobs doesn't matter. It's a discussion with your friends about that place. And talking ill about that workplace can be done, and not alienating or as sour-grapes.

Now, for the few people that do cross over to non-work, it's awesome. Welcome them as a friend, and not a "work-friend". But I find that I've only had a very small handful of people whom that happened with.

Is there an easy way of putting a strict limit on the amount of money I'm willing to spend on AWS?
I used some app to upload a 250GB archive to Amazon Glacier. Turns out the app was having difficulties uploading it all at once, and its queue functionality sucked. I explained this to Amazon, since they were suggesting that I use that app to begin with. Turns out I ended up using terabytes of data usage just getting everything up to Glacier because the app was faulty. They tried to bill me something like $1500, but I never paid for it and just had my data removed immediately.
Thank you for the recommendation. I build admin dashboards using stock (double entendre?) charting libraries and recently have been using my own d3.js visualizations with dynamic content. At this point, I might as well start to delve into data science and have been investing time developing math skills with calculus and linear algebra. I would like to also take some time and learn basic statistics concepts. I want a level up a little bit but don't see the point getting a Ph.D. in machine learning. I only need the basics to start from.
It wasn't through Western direction - they did not implement free capital market, which was the "Western direction".

They imported technical experts from the West to help them design and build things until they figured out how to do it themselves. That is orthogonal to the economic system.
Yeah. I'd like to self-host a wrapper around the dataset so that people who trust me (friends and family) can safely check if their number's in the breach.
If you're considering taking drugs for ADHD or giving them to your child, I highly recommend reading into Fen-Phen (1) and other popular, contested drugs. Fen-Phen was a drug marketed to housewives in the 70s that promised weight loss and increased energy. My grandma suffered heart issues later in life due to it. It's since had 13B in settlements brought against it.

Purdue Pharma will likely see 10B+ in settlements brought against them in the coming years for their hand in marketing Oxycontin as non-addictive.

On the topic of Ritalin and Adderall, lots of my friends found they had to increase their dosage to see consistent effects. Some talk about abusing alcohol to get to sleep. All have told me interesting stories about being able to "feel" their heartbeat in odd ways while using (or over using) it. I'd be surprised if both drugs don't see significant settlements related to heart issues, alcohol dependence, or something else in the not too distant future.

ADHD exists. Period.

Also, US history has a bend toward over medicalization and over prescription. I think it's important to learn about this and weigh it when using any prescription drug, but especially highly addictive ones, for extended periods of time.

I spoke to my HR once and told her how I felt about my self-productivity and the productivity of others. She was like, "That's not what I've been hearing." I'm not sure if I'm in the wrong or if my coworkers are lying.
Sometimes owners do things that don't make financial sense because life is like that sometimes. Some kind of inheritance dispute or another dispute between partners might hold things up.

Older and richer landlords might not do the right thing because they have other problems like poor health.
My prediction (based on little evidence, just gut feeling) is Clubhouse will go the way of Quora.

I enjoyed this essay, but the author makes unnecessary divisions. Many on the "extremes" have expressed all the positions he describes, to some extent. These aren't really incompatible frameworks, unless they're taken as dogmatic.

For instance, a person might believe all of the following:

1. Media companies serve their owners, just like any other company. To a rough first approximation, this will predict what the product will look like. Along with the fact that advertisers are the main customers.

2. Journalists often show a liberal bias, and this shows up in their work. "Liberal" here means what someone like Bill Gates might believe in. This allows them to define the bounds of the left.

3. There exist "High Broderists" who purport to define a moderate center -- halfway in between the two parties.

4. The press uses little tactics like "he-said-she-said journalism" and "the sphere of deviance."

That's simply not the case. My analogy is exactly how I wanted it. What things do you want to do with a service? Run a background thread to completion? You can do that. You want to play music when your app is in the foreground? Covered. Want to receive notifications from the network? Check. What to do certain tasks at scheduled times? Affirmative.

Further, if I'm reading your code I don't have to go "Oh God, they started a thread. What do they think they need it for...", I can just look at what API you used and I know exactly what the goal was. Exactly the same advantage that map/filter/reduce/etc. have over a for loop.
Isn't there a technical reason for not offering HTTPS to everyone and everything? Like server load? Or is that no longer a problem due to the power of modern servers? Just thinking, won't this annoy website owners if adopted en masse...
I have also had a ReadyNAS (NV+) for some time and have been extremely satisfied with it. The device does not come cheap, and it isn't silent, but it is very capable, offers decent performance, and lets you access your data in a wide variety of ways (NFS, Rsync, AFP, CIFS, etc). It is relatively open as well, including allowing full root SSH login, and has various software add-ons as well.

Until an equivalent OEM product comes along that supports something like ZFS, the ReadyNAS is probably one of the best options available.
The use of the word "copy" is very confusing.

What the author means when he says "copying" is completely different from the usual meaning of the word. He should have called it "linking" or even better "instantiating" (in the sense of prototype-based OO).

This is especially annoying at the end of Demo1 where he concludes that "copy & paste is decriminalized". This sounds much less revolutionary if you translate "copy" into what he actually means. Then it reads like "instantiating and changing objects is decriminalized", which is elementary common sense in programming.

If you want a real change - search for something called Inner Engineering. For 2 years since I've done it, I never had a single bad day. Apart from it bliss and extasy became real experiences I now get once in a while.
I use an Amazon Basics backpack which I think is great. I also have a Briggs and Riley briefcase which is holding up extremely well too.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, because the reality is that the so-called left-wing dictatorships were literally nationalistic empires with a strong monarchic slant. Just as Nazi Germany was. (If Hitler had won WWII, Germany would have become an imperial monarchy within a couple of generations at most.) And North Korea still is.

The pseudo-Marxist imagery is just a wrapping. Politically, North Korea is a semi-industrialised feudal monarchy. Just as the USSR was an industrialised nationalistic proto-monarchy controlled by an emperor.

If you want millions of deaths, promote nationalism and imperialism. They always deliver.
Most of these free things will still require some ID before letting you store any data. Using gift cards will flag and probably lock your account for further review before you can publish anything or use any resources. Same if you created your account or logged in from a known Tor or VPN IP address. Same if you pay in cryptocurrency.

There's probably ways to do it, but I wager they're not "simple" at all. All these companies usually are required by law to make sure they can trace their customers in one way or another (Know Your Customer) and are further incentivized to prevent anonymous usage because such usage is usually done by abusive actors who'll cause problems to the platform.

I'd be very curious to see someone who did it, write up the steps they took (that anyone else could take) to actually host anything online in a truly anonymous and _simple_ manner.
They were failing in any computer with that chip (Nvidia 8600m), whether it was MacBook, Thinkpad or some Dell.
Good tips here already. I personally found value in reading stoic philosophy, but that's not for everyone.

Read up on impostor syndrome. Being aware of this helps counter it.

I also think it (mental issues) is more common than people realise. A shocking number of my friends are on psych meds of some sort. Almost like it's a wider society issue. So I think a strong case can be made for "don't beat yourself up about it" - plus that wouldn't help anyway.
I'd agree with this, 12 years experience here but all self-taught. From reccomendations I have gotten to final stage interviews with large silicon valley companies (I am based in Derbyshire, UK), without recommendations I rarely get a callback.

I found this increasingly an issue when applying for remote jobs.

Locally though, degree's don't matter because there aren't enough good programmers, when there are lots of options it seems people will look for degree's as an indication if you are "good enough".
When you ask me open ended question and I am able to talk about that topic, I will talk about that topic. If people ask me about family I talk about family, if people ask me about work I talk about work and if they ask me about sport I talk about sport.

It has nothing to do with what I find most interesting to talk about. It has to do with me assuming that this is what you want to talk about, since you asked about it.

I also kind of expect the person I talk to make own pronouncements about the topic they started, without having to ask "what about you". When I am asking "what about you", it is usually admission that this is not going well, conversation feels one sided and I am desperately trying to make it two sided so I am not the asshole there.
Thank you! I’ve started seeing a therapist. We’ll see how it goes.
I might be able to work on it (and indeed, I sometimes do), but your argument was in favor of implementing a spec.

Any change that modifies the resulting binary might have my copy deviate from the spec and I have little way of knowing. How useful is that when trying to "implement PEI"?
And this is why most most large software projects fail. Software development is not something 'disposable human resources' can do reliably.

The one counter argument that gives pause and should be brought out:

http://gizmodo.com/comment/23878432

- that recording an officer's face could be used to track him later. It's probably hard to draw a finer line though - forbidding recording his face, say, makes recording as useless for self-protective purposes as for revenge.
I would expect the browser-makers to allow more than 2-4 connections per host - that would speed things up. This links-prefetching thing feels a bit dodgy for both performance and security reasons.
Only Microsoft would be able to come up with test results that show Internet Explorer as the perfectly standards compliant browser while all the others aren't.
I'm not sure that that is a large enough differentiator.

If I understand correctly, you're changing 'topics' into sentences. Is that correct?

the nice thing about not having a sentence to assign as a subject is that it is faster for the person adding the link, and doesn't take up as much real estate when navigating.

I was having some serious usability issues with your site.
The colors made it VERY difficult to focus on what I was supposed to be looking at.
As well, the layout didn't really direct me as to where I should be looking.

Most important, I kept looking at the Social News section, expecting to see the submitted links. Then I thought that maybe i needed to answer the questions before getting the links.

It took a bit before I realized that the links where in the 'recommendations for you' section.

Normal CEOs get to their positions by a road paved in bullshit. Someone at the top of several large companies with a focus on real quality and execution—with sense enough to tell the difference—is an extremely rare thing.

I was thinking there wasn't much synergy if you're just using the profits of one business as a VC pool for the rest. Better to give the cash back to shareholders and let the market decide which to fund.
I have not, perhaps I should. My biggest beef with the K-cups is that it always seems to be too watered down. With the VIA (or actually brewing my own) I can control the strength(water/coffee) ratio more to my liking. Granted, I probably like my coffee darker and more "dense" (full bodied) than most... I tend to gravitate towards the French Press and Moka pot brewing methods. (The moka pot is something I discovered when I lived in Italy, it was really the only method I saw people brewing in their own homes, and I found it works great for me, in that it's smaller quantities (I'm only a single dude, I don't need a full drip pot..) and "fuller bodied".)
The results look great!
>There is (so the story goes) something in many of us that yearns for chaos, for a purpose beyond the ordinary, even for violence and death.

I think we ought to be asking whether this is a story told primarily by generals, by enlisted soldiers, or by someone else, and also asking how well that story corresponds to reality.
The Providence one is interesting, because the 2013 photo shows a substantial improvement---when I-195 was laid out, it made a crazy-ass loop through downtown (and bisecting some historic neighbourhoods) before heading east. About ten years ago they finally said, "this is dumb," and started planning for it to join I-95 further south. In the 2013 photo here, you can see the scars from where 195 used to be---it's still recovering.

If the "after" photo of Providence were from, say, 2003, the change would be even more dramatic.
