> "one can likely incease their chances for career progression (or starting their career) by moving to a tech hub."

That's neither pedantic, nor a correction. That's exactly what I've been saying all along. Career success isn't a 0/1 boolean, and no matter how successful someone currently is, there's always the potential for even greater career success. Optimizing for career success includes optimizing your chances for career progression.

Semantics aside, I think we're in agreement.
>When our founding fathers established the 1st Amendment, they were not setting out to protect liars but those who speak the truth.

The 1st Amendment was specifically designed to protect both truths and falsehoods so they could both enter the marketplace of ideas in order to allow the people to determine what is truth and the best ideas.

Moreover, the Founding Father's were keenly aware of people in power suppressing ideas commonly held to be false, but ultimately turned out to be true (i.e. the earth is not the center of the universe).
I realise, but since a lot more gets written about steepest descent than everything else, it also gets implemented and used a lot more often, even when other alternatives are readily available and already implemented. For example, the trainscg method of Matlab is relatively obscure thus unused and not frequently re-implemented.

There's an implicit endorsement in these blog posts. People wouldn't be spilling all this ink nowadays on plain adalines, even if they're building blocks for backprop networks, right? So by writing so much about it, people get the impression that it has to be studied and implemented very carefully, to the exclusion of better methods.

Now you are just playing plain stupid, and won't contribute anything of value to a serious discussion about the problems with legal alternatives over torrenting.

I can't see how you can imagine that having a discussion about this with someone high up in the movie industry acting like you do would do any good. You'd just be shunned. It's better to be realistic and acknowledge the fact that the majority of torrent traffic is related to copyright infringement, and that it is a problem and the only way to solve it is to make the legal alternatives better and more attractive to the general public. Of course, the BitTorrent protocol is not and should never be illegal, but you have to acknowledge that it is the protocol that currently plays the biggest part in infringing copyrighted content.

I think that ageism might be less of a problem than you think. While it certainly exists at companies that have a certain culture, I've generally worked for companies that explicitly reject "Valley Culture" and we often try to hire older engineers. The difference in experience, work ethic, and overall attitude is huge and positive. I'm the second youngest engineer at my current (small) company at 31, and it's great.

Your main barrier is experience, but if you're willing to go for a junior level position, that shouldn't be an issue.

So generally, look for companies with a more mature culture - avoid buzzwords like "rockstar" and "ninja" (secretly, everyone should do this), steer clear of "unicorns", and read the bios on a companies website, and you should be able to find a good fit.

Well, only if you're stuck with a broken macro system (cough cough Common Lisp cough cough). Here in scheme, we have er-macros and sc-macros, as well as syntax-rules.

I have to disagree. Professionalism is not the same as culture. Every employee should strive to be professional and every company should strive to hire only people who demonstrate professionalism in their demeanor, communications, interpersonal relationships, etc. That's very different from "culture" as many HR departments see it, where fuzzy criteria cover everything from humor style to hobbies to age and gender.
> What I'm trying to say is that occam's razor seems to suggest that there is a better way to do matrix inversions which we simply haven't discovered yet.

Occam's razor doesn't suggest that. Such a method is an additional assumed entity that adds nothing to our ability to explain what is observed, and is thus the kind of thing Occam's razor calls one to reject, rather than suggests.

Now, belief in the existence of such a method might be a means of satisfying an aesthetic preference for a computationally convenient universe, but that's something very different than Occam's razor.

I think it really depends about what we mean by "guaranteed delivery". If you are more interested in the infrastructure and consider each piece as a different part then yeah, hop-to-hop reliability is important to you and you want XEP-0198. That's like "guaranted delivery of a packet". If however you are more interested in the application that sits on top of the infrastructure, then what you really care about is whether the recipient did receive your message: that's XEP-0184. That's more like "guaranted delivery of a message".

Of course both are complementary (and to me both should be implemented)

How is this any better?
If you really want to figure out which messaging protocols are being used for "IoT" deployments, looks at the leading IoT device management services providers: AWS IoT and Azure IoT Hub.

AWS IoT uses MQTT and HTTP (over WebSocket).

Azure allows customers to choose between MQTT, AMQP, and HTTP, but suggests that its users choose AMQP as a good general-purpose protocol.

HTTP is usually used for devices/machines with external power supplies that are sending high volumes of relatively complex data. MQTT/AMQP are generally used for nodes/sensors with internal power supplies that are sending low volumes of telemetry data.

Neither service supports XMPP natively which should give you a good indication of how suitable it is for IoT applications.
That makes it a wonderful systems language. Systems need to be stable and correct, not just fast. Rust has good performance, so it's got fast down. The restrictions that it introduces increase stability and correctness at the added cost (high to start, should drop as time goes on) of increased developer effort to get it correct (compared to C, one of the best footguns ever invented).

And the ability to create "unsafe" blocks allows you to minimize the amount of bullets that end up in your feet.
Mental models I find repeatedly useful
I think this is what most "culture fit" issues amount to. Attempts at politely declining someone's services. I'd prefer a more harsh/rude/straight/direct "we think you're an asshole" but one of the advantages of not giving someone a rational argument is that you don't have to deal with a rebuttal, you can't (rationally) argue against a culture mismatch, but you can argue that your behavior is not that of an "asshole" (or whatever other label can be applied to your undesirable attributes).

This results in a "clean" rejection, where the rejected don't have traction for arguing that they'll "change" or "not do that again" when the rejecters simply don't want to deal with them anymore (for whatever their reasons, rational or otherwise). It's certainly not productive from the rejected's perspective, they truly might not know what they did to offend/displease their coworkers, but it can prevent awkward situations.

By not including "real" reasons for rejected, your signaling the the rejected that your not interested in conversing about your decision and that your decision is final, regardless of the logic used to reach it (I think all of these are implicit properties when you don't share your logic behind a decision).

As an added bonus, the same strategy works when rejecting people in your personal life, so there's also the societal familiarity/subtext that comes along with the generic rejection that can further emphasize the undesirability of continued interaction and the finality of the decision.

Trackers in general aren't illegal. You can host a tracker with legal content. You can't host a tracker that serves up zero say scene releases. Just like a router in a sever farm that serves cp is part of an illegal operation.

There is a gray area where you'd host a tracker that serves legal content but some copyrighted material gets through. The DMCA safe harbor should take of that. But most of these torrent frackers are so obviously designed to host pirated stuff that dmca won't cover them.
I'd agree if it was just defrauding investors (assuming they valued the company based on this and had no knowledge of it) or the stores (assuming there were contracts forbidding it). But they also screwed their employees by paying out the expenses as salary. Personally I'm a bit less forgiving when it comes to employers defrauding employees. The power disparity and all.

Edit in Reply:

I would like you to cite gold-standard scientifically verified evidence, not "common knowledge." As far as I know, insulin resistance is not known to cause the myriad of diseases you mention. It is merely an early warning sign of diabetes.

If you wish to challenge the text books, you better come with peer-reviewed and independently verified studies.

Also, you're getting the scientific method backwards. If you assert a fact, you're the one who has to prove it. The burden of proof lies on you to demonstrate that the current medical evidence is wrong.

As said two thousand years ago, "The proof lies upon him who affirms, not upon him who denies; since, by the nature of things, he who denies a fact cannot produce any proof." [0]

It's not definitive research, but it's certainly very convincing. Doctors often act on less, including single patient case studies.

"professionalism" is one particular set of features of culture (and different people use the term to describe slightly different feature sets, but each definition is a set of culture features), and "work style" is a synonym for workplace culture.

> EBP's profitability is only relevant to a discussion of fiber generally to the extent it is a concrete example of a municipality (or anyone) building fiber profitably.

Very well then, but why did you start of this thread with provably false claims? EPB fiber is not subsidized by the electric side (refer to your own research paper if you don't believe me) and Chattanooga is most definitely servicing their debt in full (again check your paper).

> The question is--could Baltimore go out and do this?

Perhaps, I haven't looked into it, so I don't know. But, why Baltimore? Different state, different laws on municipal broadband, much larger metro area and a very different socioeconomic mix.

> Or, what's stopping a private company from doing this in Baltimore?

Nothing much if they have the money and inclination to do so, assuming they can get the appropriate permits and franchises. Apparently Verizon did consider doing it.

> And what's relevant to that is the real capital expenditure to build the fiber network--not just extending a fiber network you had lying around.

So if Verizon decides to build out FiOS in Baltimore, which part of their existing (national and local) fiber network should they according to you include in their network build budget and show an additional return on?

> I'm happy to concede that if you don't have to actually pay for much of your fiber network, you can indeed show a "profit."

Which parts of the EBP fiber network do you feel have not been paid for? And what do you mean by "profit"? Are you claiming that EPB is cooking the books and not really making a profit?
It is strange for me in a era with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIN to imagine a new social network.

For better or worse, the appearance of coming from a real person seems to be the trend in marketing automation.
