I'd say, if your company offers (a track) to an MBA, take it. It's free, often partly in company time (get paid to study, partially), puts you on the fast-track to succession with HRM, sends a signal to any future employers that your previous employer marked you as a high-potential, worthy of investing in.

I also recommend doing a Master's in a business field if you're 22 or so in a country where it makes sense. e.g. in continental europe it's pretty common to do a 3y bachelor from 18 to 21, and a 1y master's. The 1y master is a relatively small investment, and e.g. in the Netherlands where most unis are ranked top 100 worldwide, the cost of a 1y master's is about $2k. In 19/20 cases (making up a number), the added value of the learning/status/grit of this 1 year experience outweights the $2k+Opportunity-cost of spending this 1 year instead of working, it's an easy decision.

For anyone else? e.g. self-funding a $100k program, spending 1-3 years and having to forgo work (without company support) when you're in your 30s, probably not a great idea, on average. At that point the value is mostly learning, at a huge cost. And in my experience, self-study vs college-study in the field of business is terrific. The resources for self-study are gigantic, lots of great books, youtube videos per topic and entire courses from Harvard or MIT are online, including online testing environments where you can do exams, and lots of cases that you can buy and work through, all at a 1% cost of an expensive MBA. It's not exactly the same, particularly for a few business schools which are actually great and add value, but it's pretty damn close in most cases.

And yet, there are plenty of Asian countries (Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, etc) where drug laws are much stricter than the US's, there are very few drug addicts, and there is very little crime.
Yeah, pretty sure the whole thing looks different if you get your MBA at HBS, INSEAD, IMD, LBS etc. (you don't have to fund 100% out of pocket, it actually is for the elite, depending on your career goals you probably want to meet those people, and while it wont make you genius, you probably get some valuable experiences)
I'm using mostly IntelliJ / PyCharm and Atom which indeed show me that status. I usually commit either with IntelliJ directly (though sometimes it's too inclusive which is annoying), or with gitg.
Most of this is operations-oriented and wide open to attack from automation. MBA won't give you the creative solution orientation you need for strategy and in some ways you'd be better equipped for this with a training in the arts. (Can't remember if it was joel, yegge, or 37s that said that the ability to write is an excellent indicator of a hire but definitely true.)
Why the personal attack?

It's not a 'new' complaint about React, it's been said plenty of times, go do your own research.
If they layoffs are largely sales, I'll bet the cost of acquisition was getting out of control. I've found in practice it certainly can be hard to keep an eye on LTV (the long game), since sales teams live and die for month-over-month results. To support a people-heavy sales process, you need to have decent headroom in your margins, and they might not have had a lot of success getting people from the $25 to the $85 price point.
It's more difficult than you might expect to change industries after an MBA. Your internships and employers will still look for relevant experience. The best method would be to use the MBA to join a large consulting firm. You'll still need to network internally and beg to be staffed on projects outside your historical specialty.

>They don't exclude men.

Laws don't exclude, but their application and interpretation sometimes does.

Not long ago in my country, there was a proposal to add funding to research domestic violence committed by women.

The women's organisations of all major political parties (except one) signed a common statement which opposed the funding of this research. They said it was diverting attention away from the main problem which is violence by men. This they were saying without looking at the actual numbers. They were in fact opposing research to find out and evaluate the actual numbers.

The actual numbers in this country from crime statistics: in 2008, the victims of domestic violence in homicide and grievous bodily harm cases were 116 men and 111 women. This was irrelevant, according to these political women's organisations.

The issue was raised to public consciousness when a man, assaulted by his wife, brought to publicity the response he had got from calling 112 (emergency number), where the police dispatcher said to him: "What, are you letting a woman beat you up?"

Yes, laws are in principle gender neutral, but their application is in many cases favouring one gender. Often the favoured gender is women.

Tobacco smoking is unrelated to other drugs consumption. But yes, in Switzerland it is more popular than in most of the rest of Western Europe and certainly more than in California.

Crowd-funded OpenShot 2.0 delivers graphic Linux package
I think apple signs every single OS installation operation by using a mechanism Jailbreakers refer to as SHSH (https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/SHSH), so it could be argued that, yes, Apple is in full control over what phone the firmware gets installed on.

However, if they can be compelled to do this once for one phone, they can be compelled to do this many more times for as many phones as the FBI or everyone else wants.

I would say: Both are right in this case.
Imagine a business meeting. A person is talking, and a man interrupts and talks over that person.

The person asserts themselves, and tells the interrupting man not to interrupt.

That person is more likely to be seen as confident or assertive if they're a man, and more likely to be seen as shrill or bitchy if they're a woman.

> I have never once seen this particular double standard applied. I say this as someone with both a keen eye for and a near zero tolerance of prejudice and discrimination of any kind.

I'm surprised by this, because it's very very common, and has been written about in national newspapers in different countries.

Ground failure can knock out a train (say the collision system breaks or the politicians are bought off to not require modern PTC). Ground failure can't knock out a plane but it could theoretically knock out a car so I think its a good comparison.

Also when planes encounter bad weather or ... events of any sort (erupting volcanoes?) planes working with ATC can use three dimensions to avoid the hazard. In that way trains have it worse because they can't just tear off across farmland to avoid a tornado and they only have 1-D mobility (speed). I acknowledge its unfair for cars because of the denser road network they have 2-D mobility.

Also the security and 1984 style monitoring and monday morning quarterbacking is brought to a fine art in the aviation community, far beyond the train community.

On one hand the airplane industry is rapidly moving maintenance offshore unregulated uncontrolled facilities, which will likely impact accident rates in the future, although not so bad right now. On the other hand its hard to maintain a train or its tracks offshore, which leads to inherently higher quality, but rushed jobs due to the expense.

Its a mixed bag.

That's nice for a perfectionist. But how many readers care at all or could tell the difference if they tried? Do you struggle to read stories on the web because they're not hand typeset? I personally find that the content of a book completely dominates my experience over any of the superficial details. Well, I do use an annoying e-book reader that keeps accidentally turning pages for me and I lose my place.

Agreed that it's difficult. I think it's fair to say though that (1) it does increase one's chances of pulling it off and (2) it provides some lower risk ways of nudging your way towards relevance with coterm internships and (3) provides a path to a soft landing and saving face if things don't turn out exactly as planned. (3) is pretty appealing to the kind of individuals who consider these programs in the first place.

edit: Worth mentioning is that the career offices of these programs definitely overstate the effectiveness of the "come to our program and get your dream job" aspect. In that sense it's similar to the misleading rhetoric of Law Schools.

expand an analytic function in its taylor series then find its values on the unit circle. There's a Fourier series.

But the Fourier series uses global data than the taylor series which uses point data so they aren't perfect analogs.

A laplace transform is a fourier transform rotated in the complex plane (more or less), and if you allow the transform to take complex "frequencies" then they are basically unified. The difference is that the laplace transform is all about causal functions of time (t<0 => f(t) = 0) where as the fourier transform is less picky.

Well, to be fair, I wouldn't mind executing alcoholics and smokers. But you can have the best of both worlds - provide help and healthcare to ones who have fallen in drug use and execute the ones who can't complete rehab.
Actually, I would argue that this is not true. Before installing, the device wants a ticket to be signed by apple that contains a hash of the firmware to be installed, the phone's identifier and a nonce it has just generated. See here: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/SHSH

So by not signing any requests for that particular firmware hash, Apple can effectively neuter that firmware and make sure it's never installed anywhere but on the target phone.

The problem is though: If apple can be compelled to do this once, they can also be compelled to do this any other time.

It's hard not to feel angry about this. Not only do I not personally want the things described in this post, I want them specifically not to make things like this. Until we have more fundamentally secure systems and laws that actually punish negligent companies for gross violations of security and privacy, IoT is not a domain to promote.

It's the surveillance home for marketing and ads. Actual smart homes need a lot more dumb and existing technology first.

If it were really smart, I'd have a toilet and shower that uses 1/4 of the amount water, my gas stove would not have a pilot light, and "dumb" motion sensors for light have been around quite a while - but not ubiquitous (more common the EU).

Commercial buildings have had computers driving heating and cooling systems for a couple of decades (without thermostats but with temp sensors) so you don't need internet for that either. And I've never seen a house with VAV's installed in the ducts to actively heat/cool only the occupied portions of the home. And the easiest of all before construction - just "rotate" the foundation towards the sun to take better advantage of passive heating and cooling, that's an easy 15% energy bill savings.
I think the only desktop I didn't stay away from was KDE, back in its 2.x and 3.x days. Then things like Nepomuk happened and sent me back to WindowMaker, which will be pried from my equally cold, dead hands.

But it's getting pretty hard to avoid the octopuses. I managed to avoid e.g. systemd (not because unix philosophy something something but because they keep doing shit like [1]) by staying with Gentoo for a while. But the useflags gymnastics required to keep half-baked things out of my system became too time-consuming to be worth it.

Some of the problems do remain (e.g. my desktop looks like it's 1996 and everyone has their own favourite toolkit again because GTK3) but at least I'm not debugging non-booting systems and strange things happening with USB sticks on a daily basis.

> Isn't it better instead of legalizing them to find the root cause which is forcing these people to seek escapism from reality in psychoactive substances?

Depression, anxiety, moderate mania, genetic dispositions to addiction... how do we "find" these? The unfortunately thing is, we've been trying this the world over for a century and no one is meaningfully closer. In the meantime, we're destroying families and feeding an industry worth 10's, hundreds of billions founded on illegal drug trade.

Thing is, you likely already do live in a society of drug addicts. Whether discussing decriminalization or legalization, what you're allowing is those addicts to step out into the sunlight, so the society can help them reduce or end their drug usage.

Remember that laws of morality are a very tricky thing, and tend usually to inadvertently oppress significant parts of a population. Allowing a society to internally act on its compassion instead of outsourcing responsibility to a law seems to have a better outcome.

I can see the rationale of the publishers - they don't want Amazon to become a monopoly. Their counter-strategy will fail, but that is besides the point.

Can confirm. I've been looking for a remote job in the bay area. Not because I don't want to move there, but because it's virtually impossible to move there because all the companies want you to move on a very short notice and they don't want to spend a lot of money to get you an H1B visa. It was very hard to find companies that were willing to work with remote employees (even though they are much cheaper and often just as qualified).

We're actually in Copenhagen. Probably should have mentioned that in the OP.

Point taken though, we should consider taking in remote workers. My only "fear" is that it will be hard to build a good company culture without a "core" team sitting in the same location. We have some remote consultants working on our gui right now, and even though they do a fantastic job, it adds quite a lot of overhead in management and I'm not really satisfied with the knowledge sharing between the remote and the on-site teams. I guess there is a lot of room for improvements on our part here though.
