I find the Economist suspicious because no names are given for articles, and they contradict themselves every couple of issues. Well they used to about 4yrs ago when I stopped reading it.

For immediate news on whatever happening is going on I have a 4chan app as it's surprisingly an accurate source for unfolding events (Sam Hyde memes aside) and I can quickly regex the content. I also read the Syrian /sg/ general thread to get the other side of the war there as Syrians often post to it.

I try and find a book for anything else, Princeton University Press is great for this.
Greenwald's fake news is his false description of Eichenwald's reporting. If you read Eichenwald's article, then you have all the "personal experience" you need to see that Greenwald is misrepresenting what he reported. And when you look up Greenwald's past, identical lies, you see that this misinformation campaign is deliberate. It's not a matter of opinion or of trying to judge competing claims. It's laid out right there in front of you if you want to look.
SRS is most effective when used to retain what you learn, not as a way to learn new material for the first time.

There are personally no advantages to marriage for me.

I can't find an "equal" in real life. I'm very successful play music, draw and research and I can't find a woman that genuinely is interested and excels in these unless it's for some superficial value.

It's like we're biological different.

All well and good, but when the system itself becomes unfair, I just can't get myself to swallow the pill.

Spaced repetition and learning in context are not mutually exclusive. [0]

Secondly, there are many many advantages to learning vocabulary out of context. I am very interested in foreign languages, and have self-studied to elementary proficiency in Italian, German, and Russian. Memrise is my go to app for picking up vocabulary out of context, because it is the fastest path to a bigger vocabulary. For a lot of vocabulary, at least for the languages I've come across so far, there is a direct one to one mapping for the essential things.. E.g. you can learn the word for "book", "fire", "box", "sky", etc. out of context. Certainly, learning in context has advantageous for improving grammar and in some situations verb usage - therefore a more balanced approach. An easy example of the advantage of in-context language learning is that in German and Italian, knowing somebody uses different verbs than knowing a thing. If you were to study a verb like "to know" in Memrise, you rely on the flashcard's definition to be thorough enough to clarify their usages.

I agree with the other comment that you should probably talk to your manager about getting a promotion if you haven't.

Networking is also not an insignificant thing. You may want to take those events your boss takes you to a little more seriously. I shunned networking the first few years of my career to my detriment. I am playing catch up now, but I've found that a strong network can also help you grow in your career... it just may be with a different company.

You want the skills to do a great job, but a network will help you get the opportunities to fulfill your potential.

I put this together based on my habitual consumption of Bloomberg.com, utilitydive.com, reddit.com/r/solar, reddit.com/r/teslamotors, energy-specific posts in reddit.com/r/worldnews, and consumption of every report produced by the US EIA.

I'd recommend energy specific Bloomberg articless, utilitydive.com and EIA's mailing list. That should get you most of the type of information I summarized.
To be clear: I'm not saying it's a deliberate pro-Russian policy - I can see how that might have been implied - but it's undeniable that a large number of their actions benefit Russian interests.

Maybe they are unwitting pawns, or just useful fools, but that it's serving those goals is rather obvious.
* Wind does not require any ITC credits to be competitive, solar will require them for another 1-2 years. [1]

* Shale production is not nimble, and OPEC can always profit at lower prices. Saudi Arabia can profit at $12/barrel. Shale is barely profitable at $40/barrel, and needs $50-60/barrel to really be worth the production.

* Gasoline cars are twice as expensive per mile to operate compared to electric cars. EV drivetrains last forever. The internal combustion engine is not long for this world (witness how badly VW had to cheat to pass emissions standards). OPEC participants can't balance their budgets at current market prices, so the price must go up, making EVs even more attractive. [2]

Mind you, I don't really care if you agree with me. We're already on a trajectory; I'm simply describing that trajectory.

Are You Being Served? A Study on the Public Transport Availability in Pittsburgh
Let's restrict ourselves to ultra-long term funding, i.e. that with 20+ years horizons.

In this view, there are more dollars in the public coffers. But they are more politically entangled. If your project is a political darling, e.g. a clean-energy company with a need for lots of factories in lots of districts and a cap table of retired Senators, this is close to frictionless capital.

If you live in reality, however, there are costs and political risk attached to this capital. The private pot is smaller, but faster-moving and less unpredictably politicized.

A balance between the two would be good, if only to encourage the public coffers to become more efficient.

That's the firmware setting that disables the hack that hides NVMe devices behind the chipset's AHCI controller. Aside from making it possible for standards-compliant NVMe drivers to function as expected, not lying to the OS about the hardware topology also allows the OS to access the PCI configuration space (allowing for eg. ASPM support) and not unnecessarily share interrupts between two entirely separate devices.
I'm not sure it's possible to invent a method of letting users select their information sources that doesn't immediately let them create their own misinformation silos.
Unless you've got extremely low I/O latency, allowing you to work in smaller batches in parallel without loosing all of your parallelisation speedup to the 'tax' you pay when loading data & instructions from RAM to <insert processing unit here>.

> The internet does not belong to the users. It's an inter net - a large collection of networks that have decided to interoperate using common protocols. The internet belongs to the people who own the networks. Hence the whole "get your own internet" argument is begging the question.

Right. And my network blocks advertisements. Deal with it.

> We're all in this shit together, and we need to give content providers the ability to earn money off that. At the moment most of us get away with being parasites, but it's not sustainable if we want to maintain quality content. The moral obligation, if any, is 'play fair'. If someone asks that you see an ad along with the rest of the content, then the moral answer is to view that ad if you want to access the content. It's 'play fair', not 'play selfishly'. If you don't want to play fair, then either don't consume the content, or don't pretend you're being moral.

It's not really a moral issue. There's a moral obligation to spend 2 minutes trying to punch the monkey or whatever ridiculous thing they're doing now? Give me a break.

The rest of that doesn't hold water, either. People will pay straight away for quality content. The pre-internet movie, music, and publishing industries are proof of it. Quality content will survive because if people have to pay for it they will.

There's a ton of shit on the internet these days funded via advertisements, and I won't mind if most of it dies.

> Also, just because you can access certain content streams with technical trickery doesn't mean you're morally clear to do so. A clear example is private data. Just because I might be able to get someone else's private data with a few http requests doesn't make it moral for me to do so.

If a company has private data publicly accessible to the internet then the moral thing to do would be to tell them so that they can fix it, not for everybody to close their eyes and pretend there's not a problem.
Also not OP but the aim of an interview question isn't to tell if the candidate can produce the right answer, it's to see how the candidate produces any answer.

The process to get to the answer matters far more than just getting it right. If I give you a thinly veiled shortest-path graph problem and you rattle out Dijkstra from memory or something, that's going to mean far less to me than if you have no idea how to do a traversal but you work your way through to something reasonable in front of me.

And if you're stumped at first, generally I'd give you a hint to prod you on.
> Am I wrong to feel slighted when far less capable people have been promoted to leadership positions?

Does your boss know you're interested in a leadership role?

It sounds like you should have a 1 to 1 chat with your boss to express an interest in leadership roles and to ask what you can do in their eyes to demonstrate that readiness.

I would also ask yourself what specifically makes the other person less capable? Speaking personally, I've found that sometimes someone will be promoted due to better soft-skills and/or project management even though their technical skills may be below their peers IMO, which in hindsight can - but not always does - make sense for a management role.

It could be as simple as a misunderstanding where your boss thinks you're more interested in technical-path career advancement instead of a management-path career advancement. Since you mentioned that your boss is trying to acknowledge your work by inviting you out hobnobbing with big-wigs, this seems plausible.
> The other problem with checklists is that they only work well if you have quantifiable metrics for being a senior developer.

Checklists can combine qualitative and quantitative data in this scenario too: when judging the experience of a developer, you can incorporate how many times someone has displayed a quality in your checklist.

I really like Matt Briggs’ take on senior developers: http://mattbriggs.net/blog/2015/06/01/the-role-of-a-senior-d...

Once you get a good feel for what qualities you’re looking for, you can measure how many times someone displays those qualities. When you’re hiring, you’re depending on the interviewee to show they’ve demonstrated those qualities; when someone’s been at your company for a while, you might depend on their team members to confirm whether they’re showing the qualities you’re looking for.

I think the article is right in saying that it’s mostly subjective, but that doesn’t mean you can’t break up those subjective feelings into smaller parts to judge them better.

To be more persuasive, you might want to point out the big successes of the DoE.

The dramatic reduction in PV costs, for example, were caused by the volumes created mostly by European feed-in tariffs, plus the manufacturing determination in China.

Im sure DoE has some big wins, and people who hear about them are more likely to drive support.

- Someone that can get hard things done and ship, preferably multiple times.

- Someone that can build products that run after ship and be maintained.

- Someone that can take something from start to finish and make it better.

- Someone that also knows about business and product side and that is the ultimate product not just the tech.

- Someone that has been developing long enough to know that good ideas and input/feedback come from customers, team members and stakeholders.
TLDR: "To me, what makes a senior developer is when you can trust them to get things done without you."

This is a good conclusion. I've seen people write some amazing code, implement innovative solutions and build something really solid, but they simply can't take the customer's requirements and run with them. I have to explain every single requirement in great detail.

80 percent of China's energy production comes from coal.

33 percent of the USA's energy production comes from coal. Although another 33 percent comes from natural gas, which is far from clean.

Given that they have 4 times America's population, I'd say China is still very worrisome.

>The supporters of Andrew Jackson began spreading a rumor that Adams, while serving as American ambassador to Russia, had procured an American girl for the sexual services of the Russian czar.

Sure, Dali and Lynch are definitely film school's textbook answer.

> I get that the complaint is that at some point people start replicating the form

Not really, the complaint is genuinely with the originals. Even at their best, we get what from surrealism, maybe one message? ie, the norms of artistic expression are fundamentally arbitrary?

That's just... the sort of thing I expect any 16-year old to find obvious.

So I can entertain a few possibilities:

1) Everyone finds this message, which I find obvious, to be deeply profound, to the point where they want to be bludgeoned with it over and over.

2) No one actually understands why these films are good, they're just endorsing the bizarre to look intelligent. Or parroting what film professors or critics said about them, who in turn made careers off of taking iconoclastic positions.

3) There's something deeper in these forms of art that I haven't directly experienced and no one is quite able to articulate.

4) People like what they like. (Hat tip to John Hodgman.)

I've never really found overwhelming evidence to support or disconfirm any of the alternatives, and not holding out hope I ever will, but would love to see it someday.

I genuinely would like nothing more than to hear that (3) is the right answer. I've had multiple hours-long conversations looking for support of that one.

In the absence of persuasive evidence in any direction, I should probably favor (4). It has no predictive power as a model, which sucks, but of the available options, it's the most charitable to all concerned.
Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Jack Ma, and others launch fund to fight climate change
I suspect that the reason it is downvoted is because there is a strong claim that is not supported by examples, rationals, or reasons. In addition I suspect that the technical claim is contrary to some people's experience. I suspect that it's boldness and absent support are likely to correlate with poor internet behavior in other people's experience.

The guidelines do not advise people not to downvote for disagreement. The guidelines do ask people not complain about them.
I feel like I'll just keep choosing a new random one until I land on one I like. I feel like the problem still exists -- we find content we don't like, and then decide to keep looking, until we find something we do like.

I will? No, no I won't. And no, you don't become less-informed by taking in information. You become ill-informed if you choose to believe incomplete, partial, or misleading information. But that's your choice. Some people read a fairy tale and believe it--not the fairy tale's fault.

To me it seems like you're absolving yourself of responsibility.

If I don't understand the nature of a study then I take it for what it is: a report about results of a study I don't understand. I choose whether or not to believe it based on partial data. It doesn't make me believe it. I may believe it, or parts of it, or none of it. I make that decision.
Architecturally I would honestly wonder why you need that. Git, with its heavy reliance on immutable objects, should replicate very well. I would expect to be NIC-bound, but I would also expect it to horizontally scale reasonably well. Storage is obviously a concern -- you will have to make sure you don't end up needing a full copy of your data on every node -- but there are well known solutions to this problem that account for hot keys/objects well enough for you to get really really far. Even reaching as far back as the BigTable paper there is valuable stuff to look at and you can obviously look at Cassandra to see how the OSS world has tackled that problem.

The biggest question for me is how to track important world or national events without tracking the 24 hour news cycle.

Solar: 28,058	19,684 42.5%

A lot more natural gas came online than solar. The solar percentage is so high because it's an increase over a much smaller number.

These modifiers are always a touchy point with me. They aren't applied consistently and imply greater experience and ability, when they often signify time spent at a company or political acumen. Over my 15 years in engineering, I've seen several engineers without senior or lead titles who provide more value than those with the modifier.

I prefer "staff engineer" for engineers who are capable of producing useful, working systems with a team. "Lead" should not be a modifier to a title, just an indicator who makes final technical decisions on a team.

On my resume I only have "software engineer." If I have to negotiate a higher salary after an offer, I point to my accomplishments and not my title.

Do you honestly not see the difference between creating fake stories about celebrities and then creating fake stories about people in the government, stories that end up having far reaching real world effects?

>of an outdated and superfluous institution.

Oh brother. If anything this last year has proven exactly why the publication and editing model should flourish for quite some time. Because as of this year, I guess whatever makes you feel better is clearly more valued over what is actually true (see all the reports from Breitbart and company, especially in regards to the Clinton emails, or even global warming), especially with people who believe that "fake news" is just some kind of conspiracy theory accessory for the "MSM" to keep their grip on the industry.

"Fake news" is just yellow journalism by another name, and "fake news" is "uniformly" being talked about because it became readily apparent over the course of this last year that people believe and act on the information presented from yellow journalism. And _apparently_ for some people any action taken to correct yellow journalism is decried as censorship. Truth is not oppression.
