Yes, there should be a sizable outflow to non-academic jobs, but that implies that the demand is there, and that the jobs hey sufficiently well to make up for the opportunity cost of not earning for eight years or more. These conditions do not really exist for a lot of fields. How many jobs outside academia are there where a PhD in medieval history is an advantage?
thanks! had a brain fart. that's still terrible, a really good security researcher should be pulling in $150k/yr easy.
My favorite podcast is Harmontown. It is an incredibly brilliant improv comedy by Dan Harmon(creator of the tv shows Community and Rick and Morty). This guy is a genius, I highly recommend to listen to this show.

This, and if you need further justification, think of this like any other skill. By practicing the act of intense (and nonjudgmental) focus, over time, your ability to focus intently will improve. In choosing to focus on something internal, you decouple this practice from any particular external context or environment, and any improvement you achieve will be applicable to the broadest range of tasks. In calmly accepting (and dismissing) any intrusive thoughts or feelings, you likewise improve your ability to remain calm in the face of unintended internal or external distractions, decreasing your stress levels (along with any of their negative health implications). Go into it without any expectations (as you might then stress if you fail to meet them), for the most benefit. Nothing else required, just the intentional and unimpeded practice of a particular skill.

Holy shit, dude. Those guns!

I'm just starting the lifting thing. Not looking for the bodybuilder look, but definitely working toward being more muscular! Great job!

I know you talked mostly about fitness, but what's your diet like these days?
In the US eating out all the time is pretty normal. It's also relatively a little bit cheaper than in most places in Europe.
Funny to see the giant swirl that is DFN with all its individual children.

(DFN is the "Deutsche Forschungsnetz" ("German research network"), and it gives out sub-CAs to the individual member institutions. Which apparently is an uncommon practice)
This is a common everyday story with NoSQL databases these days. One document/table format with 100's of fields like col1, col2, col3... so that they can stuff in whatever they want without having to think through schema design. If you try to confront it, they label you as outdated programmer from the 90's.

NoSQL sort of legitimized these kind of bad practices.

I've seen those sort of things all over the place in every NoSQL project I've ever worked on.
There's no reason gravel mines have to weigh that much. Those 20g include 9g of explosive. A .22 short cartridge still contains enough explosive to kill you if it's aimed in the right place, but that's 250mg of black powder, which is half as energy-dense much less brisant than modern explosives.

So you could easily imagine "mines" that were a tenth of that size, 2g, with an embedded microcontroller to trigger them under arbitrary conditions, and enough explosive to maim you if you picked them up or stepped on them. A 1kg-payload weather balloon could carry 500 such "mines".

It's going to be difficult to keep having civilization.
Responding to violence with violence may have been the right response in 1914 or in 1939. It may no longer be the right response in 2016. I find it disheartening that in the current time the idea of pacifism seems to be dead and buried and replaced by this moral defeatism that man is doomed to behave like an animal for the remainder of history. Even from supposedly liberal politicians like Obama or Hollande we hear nothing but that same old primitive macho-ape language in response to terrorism "we will hunt down... we will destroy... we will eradicate". I look forward to the day that a powerful nation decides that it will no longer kill for any reason whatsoever.
Wow, this attack was XSS 101.

And it could have been mitigated with anti-XSS 101: rejecting all form posts containing angle-brackets.
I think what made me mad about this is that Facebook makes it seem like your posts are available on the general internet, by calling them "public" but the posts are not actually readable unless you have a direct link. If I post 10 essays on my Facebook and someone tries to scroll past the first few, Facebook will fade the page out and force a log-in.

That feels deceitful to me. They try to create the impression of a public profile, but then put up an artificial boundary in the middle of your content beyond which you must be real-name identified and tracked to read.

It just feels wrong to me. Like they are hijacking the content I licensed to them (for free!) and using it as a carrot to compel people to provide them with personal information.
They also don't get any appeals, pardons, or get to discover new evidence to help their case. They don't get to see sentencing reform or more lenient judges that wipe out that life sentence. They don't get to see how forensic science and police procedure change and given how messed up the current state of the art is, there will be many more living people that will be released.

I wish I engaged in Silicon Valley and venture-backed startup culture sooner. If I had, my first startup might've had a better chance of success. Instead, I bootstrapped and ended up with a lifestyle business. I also started it at age 19, just as the '99/2k bubble burst, so I can't take it too hard...

I did finally begin integrating into the larger tech scene around '07 with the introduction of Twitter. This and other factors led me to deciding to exit the business and join startups (Cloudscaling, then Docker). I had, however, passed up on offers to join early-stage at a couple companies that had mega-exits... so there's certainly a bit of, "what-if?".

That said, perhaps if I had more early success, I wouldn't now be founding my current company (IOpipe, Techstars'16: www.iopipe.com)

Neutrinos pass through Earth and our experimental equipment. I was always wondering if asymmetry between matter and antimatter couldn't be explained with unaccounted for interactions with ambient neutrinos. And those are asymmetric because all of nearby neutrino sources are built of matter not antimatter.

Intergalactic void is so empty that next galaxy could be made of anti-matter (it probably isn't) and we couldn't tell.
From someone from the UK, $100,000 seems like an enormous amount within 6 years of leaving university. Is that sort of thing even possible here?

I wasn't able to maintain the frequency after 120 days. I had started the project and was hoping to do 365 bugs in 365 days, however I stopped at 120 days after I had realized that continuing at such a rate would lead to significant mental health issues.

In addition to that, I work full time and participating in bug bounties was/is purely a part time endeavor of mine. Perhaps if I worked full time on bounties I could keep up. Not entirely sure how it would work out, but it would be a risky journey at first nonetheless.
There are lots of maladaptive tendencies that can go along hobbies, if they are just another form of escapism. Filling your time so you are never alone with your own thoughts is unhealthy over the long term.

But if you can crack walking/standing meditation, things like gardening or endurance exercise can complement rather than hinder your efforts to just be instead of trying to send your mind somewhere else.

If you can do standing meditation then it's a lot harder for someone to 'waste your time', which makes certain social obligations a lot less tense, because you're not resentful about not being able to 'get out' of the situation.
Indeed. I completely agree.
Features I'd like:

- reports on who my device(s) are contacting

- no technical capability for anyone else to access those reports

- import block lists from browser extensions / hosts lists etc

- set my own forwarders

- browser extensions so I can see what's blocked, unblock stuff, pause blocking etc, maybe an app on my phone could provide the same functionality

Mostly this is about extending your umbrella to cover privacy/malware, I don't really differentiate anymore between the different flavors of crap websites embed to make the internet more annoying and less safe.
Taking writing more seriously and approaching it with more rigor.

Everything and everyone interesting in my life from the past six years can be traced directly back to writing. Jobs I've gotten, deeper relationships with people whose work I love and respect — all tied together by words.

In my life, I can't think of a single thing that has a better return on time in to value out. (Outside of family / children.)
I don't understand the anxiety that most Americans have about paying off student debt. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that interest free and structured for flexible payments? In other words, one of the best kinds of debts to have. Why not pay it down when one really does have extra, or pay it down in small amounts?

Edit: I stand corrected. It seems like only a minority of students get interest-free loans.

I live in Italy, you can easily get a seated dinner for under 10 euros (including tax and service) if you get pizza, or a quick lunch for 5 or under. I don't think it's really a factor of cost, it's more that a lot more people know how to cook and keep a stocked kitchen.
Do you have any good sources for reading up on lambda calculus?
Is this not just a humblebrag? I really fail to see the point of this. It is really cool to read about people who find inventive ways to overcome economic obstacles. It's somewhat boring to read that someone got a high paying job, and married someone with a high paying job, and then things worked out.
I bought Veertu through the Mac app store on an early 2009 MacBook Pro. The CPU instructions used for native virtualization are not enabled on the machine. Despite not being compatible with the machine on which I was purchasing, and despite not having documentation on the app store purchase page about the limitations, it let me buy the app - which refused to function. When I requested a refund - after trying multiple times through Apple's horrific broken iTunes refund process - they denied the refund without explanation as to why they did not deem me worthy of a refund for the defective product they sold me.

Possibly if I had the time to spend hours phoning and finding someone to listen I could have gotten a refund.

My takeaway from the experience was a reminder that I was a terrible person for supporting the apple app store business model - a model which inches closer to being mandatory for developers every day.

Well you are jumping from 10 to 40.

If you had 10 programmers, and gave them 3 day weeks (24 hours). How much less work to you get? Maybe none. Maybe 20%. So you hire 2 more. So you went from managing 10 programmers to 12.

I guess maybe a tiny bit harder? I suspect most managers would take the new workload for 4 day weekends.
Not sure about the husband. I assume he has an income too so their family income is probably closer to 200k
> First, there's no mechanistic reason to think they would be dangerous.

That's like saying "there's no reason to think peanuts would be dangerous" since humans eat them all the time. And yet, they are deadly to some humans. No one knows why.

But they do know that food allergies are far more prevalent in the U.S. than in other countries. And now, suddenly, people in Africa and China are starting to exhibit food allergies that the U.S. has had for a while. So what have we started shipping over to them that's causing these allergies? Who will fund that study?

That's how I handle phone calls, too. For example, if I get a call from a bank then as soon as they begin asking for personal information I inform them that I'll have to call them back. I do this even if I was _expecting_ a call from them.

I've never had a representative balk at this, but many times they'll give me a number and extension to call. But that would defeat the whole purpose. I tell them that I need a published number that I can independently confirm. Usually they just say it's fine to go ahead and use the number on their website.

None of this is foolproof. My confirmation of a phone number is usually rather cursory--a quick Google search comparing results with what I find on the company's website. But infosec crimes are becoming increasingly common and I'd rather not be the low-hanging fruit.
Which is not at all my point.

My point is not that old juggernauts don't exist, it's that if big companies didn't fail often, they'd be far more commonplace and dominant than they are.
Even in the Pleistocene humans were hunter-gatherers, and signs point to a lot more gathering than hunting. Gathering food is a remarkably steady exercise. Have you ever tried picking berries for a day? Have you ever tried doing so while 'walking around aimlessly'?

Atheists in Turkey are safe but I wouldn't recommend going out into a city square touting atheism. I think a lot of people don't realize that you can live a western life in some Turkish cities without major issues. The risks come from being an activist against Erdogan.

A small minority of US student debt is interest free. Federal loans are 4.5-7%, and private can be much more than that.

Some programs defer interest until graduation, and others defer until employment, but neither of those is universal by any stretch.

It was more a rhetorical question for myself. My (and I think many's) usage of email has changed dramatically in the intervening decade. I get less of it, and what I do get I appreciate having on the go. I don't think I use that much HTML email, so that's not a huge deal, but it would require a major readjustment to how I communicate to make it worth it.
> Also frozen pizza is kind of an expensive meal once you have access to a kitchen.

Correct. She mentions in passing that she doesn't cook. Which is a shame since one can easily cook very large amounts of healthy, nutritious and tasty meals very cheaply.
The young guys I work with have loans that aren't interest free. Some i know of are 5 percent and higher.
You really think we shouldn't criticize things if better alternatives don't currently exist? The fact that someone hasn't come up with a better approach doesn't imply that the status quo is the best possible solution.
One cool tip - you can meditate while running in the morning. That way you can do two useful things at once, and meditation doesn't seem boring.

It's also much easier to stop the thoughts, focus on the present moment, breathing, etc when you are running in a park as opposed to staring at the wall.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm shocked it is the only one like that.
I don't do the days-long fasts that others do, but usually try and eat something with a relatively low glycemic load about once every 24 hours. Generally that meal comes shortly after getting out of the gym, so my workout is usually after 22-23 hours of not eating.

Exercise regimen is 3-4 days a week of strength training. Usually a moderate pace, 1.0-1.5 hours. Start the day with high-weight/low rep major lifts (deadlift, squat, bench), fill the middle with other high weight/low rep lifts, and towards the end as my energy is tapering off move to about 50% of 1RM and high rep sets of the same major lift until exhausted.

Probably more than you wanted to know. :)

So that all said, I've got the benefit of having maintained a more-or-less consistent workout regimen since before I started fasting and having logged every set along the way. When I started I was waiting for my performance to fall off a cliff... but it never came. My performance has remained steady and continued rising at close enough to the same rate as it was before that I'll call it "unaffected within some margin of error".

AFAIK, no mines were used at Verdun. Also, the ones used at the Somme all exploded (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mines_on_the_first_day_of_the_...)

I guess you are thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mines_in_the_Battle_of_Messine.... One of them exploded in 1955, a few others may yet explode or may be fairly harmless by now.

Protein pills? Seriously? There is nothing wrong with lifting weights and getting big.
There are many different types of steroids each with their own protocols, pros, cons, and effects. The type of 'steroid cycle' you run can range from very casual to really complex and dangerous.

You're correct that top level bodybuilders are taking a toll to their health, but running a casual cycle really isn't anything to write home about. Combined with a decent body fat percentage and a few hundred worth of Test-E, you too could look like him.

There is a world of difference between the lifestyles of top level mass monster Olympia bodybuilders and casual steroid users.
I'm kind of like that, only using plaintext editors, except for Java. I learned Java on eclipse, and there is no way I could do Java without it.

I think it has to do with Java having a lot of boilerplate that an IDE helps a lot with auto-completion, and Java allows for a lot of static analysis, so IDEs can add a lot of value.
5. Don't forget about taxes

100k a year will probably end up being ~65k after taxes, which means living on 32.5k a year to save 50%. For a frugal single person that's doable, beyond that it gets tricky (if you're in the kind of city where 100k and above salaries are common, you're probably paying 30k a year in rent alone).

And even then, that only nets you $195k, not $300k.

Honestly, I don't eat out unless a client is somehow involved. They must either be at least at the table, if not covering the bill, before I bother. Anyone eating out so often either has too much money or cannot cook. (Don't talk about time. Cooking it yourself almost always takes less time than going out.)
I wouldn't download a unknown binary, and sign up with my steam account.

Okay well obviously that's the case. That's the bargaining chip that you have available.

The expectation is that you get good service and pay for it in the amount of roughly 15-20% of your actual bill of sale.

If you do not get good service, the bargaining chip available to you is to tip less and stop coming in.

If you do get good service and you choose to tip less then you're the one not holding up your side of the bargain. The bargaining chip available to them is to give you worse service so you stop coming in.

Tipping is not a good solution, but you honestly just sound like a cheapskate. Obviously there are repercussions for not abiding by standard transaction practice.
Yes, in the massive London banking industry, though these are not accessible to most.

100k USD is about 76k GBP. According to [1], entry level analyst jobs in London banks pay £50k to £55k. In subsequent years, you make substantially more than 100k USD.

A first year associate makes £90k to £98k, putting them well ahead of 100k USD in year one.

1) "The malaria vaccine in humanist terms is the biggest need, but it gets virtually no funding."

2) "Research into a vaccine for the disease has so far failed to yield any results."

Maybe it gets "virtually no funding" because it's seen as an insurmountable problem given the current state of the art? The malaria organism is an entirely different kind of life form from the organisms for which human vaccines have historically been effective. It's a protozoan, not a bacterium or virus. As far as I know (and Google seems to confirm this) there is no vaccine for any human disease caused by protozoa.

Edit: this article describes some of the hurdles. It's not just funding.
