I am in such a situation now. Soon to graduate with a PhD in ML about Bayesian networks, and do not know what to do in future.

Originally I learned programming, so I can write classical software, working from home. Never wanted to do anything else, but that does not pay. Only for AI research I could get funding
>On a related note, the disinterested interest thing is why I've never met a talented professional. By that, I mean the classic suit-and-tie professionals. Lawyers, doctors, accountants, bankers. I've met plenty of competent ones, but never that special one who seems to be especially knowledgeable or passionate.

Alternative theory: the geniuses that go into those professions tend to be extremely successful, and so you don't end up meeting them.
Sure. But if it's better, it's worth doing anyway. The question of how best to collect taxes is orthogonal to questions of what to spend them on.
That will only work for so long, as more and more browsers are forcing DoH for "privacy" on users, making them bypass traditional DNS in-favor of DNS over HTTPS to a provider selected by the Browser removing user control

What in life is not a competition?

What the above comment is about applies to so much in life, from education to careers because at their core, they are competitions.

> If you're in a competition, the. By definition you're doing the exact same thing as everyone else.

Not true.

There are people who play competitive, ranked, games 3 hrs a week and are happy with being in the top 50% of players

And there are people who spend 30hrs a week in a game and are profoundly unhappy they're only in the top 5% of players.

Those wind up being two very different paths, and it applies to way more than just gaming, like education, which I can speak from experience to that

From a young age I would spend hours upon hours on computers working on my games and random ideas. Even in school I would skip classes to work on my own projects in a computer lab.

My parents felt it was a complete waste of time (especially since it became a huge drain on my performance at school). I didn't have nearly as many close friends as I should have, didn't form a lot of the bonds people growing up do, it ruined my relationship with my parents.

At the end of the day through luck or something I scraped through high school with a .1 above failing GPA, dropped out of community college after failing 2 semesters and started a career in tech by freelancing.

Now 5 years later and the positions I've taken are consistently higher seniority than my friends who did CS in college, so it worked out, but at what cost?

Those years I lost, not even talking to one of my parents for over a year despite living in the same house, wasn't really worth it.

But it was an obsession, I didn't obsess over programming because I wanted to have a great career one day, it was because I couldn't help it. It was almost like an addiction that I got lucky enough to have double as a marketable skill.

It's crazy how much article really resonates with my experience, almost annoyingly so since I feel like a bus ticket collector sometimes, sure tech is a marketable skill, but you sure build a lot of unimportant stuff
> You should always build a company with the idea that you will go public

What about building a company with idea of making money?
It is a viable exit strategy as a backup for sure. I would question anyone that I spoke with that came to me with my only plan is for a FANG, et.al. to acquire us, unless they came from of of those companies, left on good relations and was trying to solve a problem that is import but not so important that they would want to do it themself. It also helps if you can be sure that what you are working on is wanted by 2 of the major companies that would be interested in you.
> The way software engineers (and coders in general) are treated like assembly line workers is ridiculous.

It's a trick to keep salaries from raising.
I have no problem with Apple if they had chosen to censor at the request of Chinese Government. At least I understand that is part of business in China. And they can remain silent on the issue. ( I do wish they stand up against CCP, but that is another issue )

What irritates me most from Tim Cook's Apple, is that he and Apple now pretends to be good and caring, and yet their actions shows the opposite.

Whenever Tim Cook come on to the stage and said things like our customer loves the Mac, ( Not anymore) And they cares about their customers. ( Nothing in the past few years shows they do until Customers are fed up and leaving ) Many have been crying for years before they listen and get a new design with new keyboard.

Steve doesn't admit it when there is a problem. But he often offers solutions and feedback very quickly, often within a shortened one cycle of product refresh. Magic Mouse, MacBook Air's USB port... etc

And for most part, Steve doesn't tell lies, ( or lies that is external of Apple, anything internal he could be completely making things up to his wishes ). He does put a spin and deceptions into words.

But this is not the first time we caught Tim Cook lying. From the Qualcomm case to the HK Protestor Apps ( Which isn't even used for illegal gathering, but getting away from unlimited use of Made in China's Toxic Tear gas ), to China's censorship.

I agree with Gruber, this is just cowardice.
People are just another form of animal life living on this planet, nothing more and nothing higher.

If someone is going to drive another form of life to extinction for the sake of an erectile disfunction remedy that _doesn’t work_ ...sorry but I am going to judge them for that.

The arguments being made here that not just poaching a bit but to full on extinction is fine because people are poor is just nonsense.
With a service like instapaper you select what is being reported. If it not possible to turn off the Spartan Annotation, all of your web activities are reported.
Locations, the electromagnetic spectrum, minerals... these are all still very important, and all of these are land in an economics sense. If land isn't important anymore, I'll happily accept any donations of Silicon Valley land titles.
Debian. Postfix. Dovecot.

What are you looking for relative to what Gmail offers? It lets you specify a domain and have instant 'everything' ready.
I think you are misinterpreting what is meant by "force of consciousness", in that it doesn't necessarily imply an observer in the colloquial sense. Its not meant to imply any supernatural or otherwise mystical existence - not any more than the 'force of gravity' or whatever.

To state it another way, why does the universe exist at all? Why is it not just a jumbled mess of superposition quantum states? We know at the deepest levels there is a wave-particle paradox to most of what exist, so what causes the collapse to happen so that particles can exist?

The standard answer is that the question itself is a form of survivorship-bias, meaning because our universe is one in which superposition states collapsed into regular particles, is what allowed humans to evolve to even pose the question.

However, there is an alternative, which is that the universe exist because the 'force of consciousness' was present to cause those collapses, which then in turn provided an environment which animals could evolve and eventually detect / interact with that underlying force.
There are two different types of patches in Kustomize. It does take a bit to get used to it as it's different. jid (Interactive jq) makes the process a lot easier. It's actually pretty easy to make changes like this.
I don't disagree with you, but I think parent's point still stands that "user hostile content" is defined by a company that could change their definition at any time.
And if you ever ignore a red light, pay your taxes late or do anything other than your absolute best to be an upstanding citizen you should be put into prison for the rest of your life.
Stop is pretty clear, if you ignore the fact that your car body will move a bit after your wheels stop moving.

Where to stop is less clear.

In California, the DMV handbook says:

"...you must make a full “STOP” whenever you see this sign. Stop at the white limit line (a wide white line painted on the street) or before entering the crosswalk..."

You could argue that the 'at the white line' part is unclear.

Does it mean that the entirety of your car must be behind the white line?

If so, how far behind is acceptable? Anything over 1/16th of an inch? Is 1 foot behind OK? How about a yard?

If not, is it OK as long as some part of your vehicle is above the line when you stop?

If not, how far over the line can you be?
I am also afraid that the legal profession is too political and that it defeats its own purpose. Is it possible to be so disliked by people that you can't get legal representation? Could law schools stop admitting people along political lines to prevent lawyers they disagree with from existing? I believe both of those are true now and that is very bad.
> the good reason: some people are philosophically opposed to easy taxes - people should be painfully aware of the money they are giving to the government.

That’s only a good reason if you’re opposed to the actual programs and/or outcomes. If you favor those programs and outcomes, making people “painfully aware” of their cost almost certainly undermines them. Which...

> The bad reason: Lobbying by intuit and parties to prevent easy tax preparation. Their ROI on regulatory capture is very very good.

Tax prep companies certainly don’t have this kind of power, and only one of the parties has that platform. That’s who’s invested in making taxation feel painful. Not just in terms of awareness but in policy too.
Texas has the equipment, but it's all frozen due to an extreme weather event.

1. The extreme cold is driving up demand to heat homes which is usually done in part by natural gas but

2. The cold has frozen natural gas pipes and wells, driving up the cost of gas 33x.

3. People are trying to heat their homes with electricity but

4. Wind turbines are frozen, limiting capacity, AND those sky high gas prices are limiting what gas power plants can output.

One of the few sane comments in this post. Commenting to save, thanks.
Mathematics generally may not be a property of the universe or "world", but the world may constrain what mathematics may be understood or computed within it.

The choice of axiomatic system limits what is provable in mathematics, as demonstrated by Godel's theorem in the case of natural number arithmetic. The world may limit that choice of axiomatic system or the computability of theorems. There may be mathematical theories which are true but we can not prove within the physical bounds of our universe.
