Yes, but the transgender person in question didn't want the issue to be brought up, there's no evidence of discrimination, and Leah's actions were incredibly unprofessional, no matter whether there was a decent reason for them initially.
Devil's advocate: High trust, homogeneous societies are more likely to have more comprehensive safety nets. As trust diminishes (i.e. partisan Red vs. Blue bickering) and the population fragments into large heterogeneous groups, what is there to keep the safety net in place? Why would a bunch of immigrants from Central America, doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do (and at very low wages) want to see a significant portion of their paychecks siphoned off to pay for the retirement of old white people they've never met, in states they've never visited, and with whom they have very little in common?

I think it is more likely that the attempt to try and cover Social Security shortfalls by importing labor will backfire, and that the new citizens will vote against paying more to cover retirement expenses for Boomers and Gen-X.
AdX is the name of Google's ad exchange, which is primarily a SSP. (All ad exchanges are SSPs anyway, since there is no such thing as an "exchange" for ads).

That would eliminate even the thin handkerchief of SS being a sort of mandatory government-run savings program, and not a bald faced tax-and-redistribute system.

Which, as you can see from comments upthread, is -- even though I personally don't think it's true -- one of the arguments that people regularly make in favor of SS when they feel it's under threat ("it's your money", "you paid into it and you should get your money out", etc.). Positioning it in this way makes voters feel like they have a personal investment in the system that they need to protect, which is clever because people generally hate having something taken away, much more than they dislike not receiving something (even if the amounts are the same).

When it becomes a straightforward tax, then it'll be attacked like every other tax during the periodic political pendulum-swings in favor of lower taxes and fewer government programs in general. And by removing the contribution cap, it'll suddenly have a lot of very wealthy enemies who have a significant vested interest in making sure it goes away. I would not expect it to last long under those conditions.
I have worked on the Ember apps since the beginning of the project. It easily takes 20 minutes to start a server up. At its worst it took me maybe 35 minutes-- enough time to come to work, start the server, go have breakfast. Add in that the server crashes a couple times a day and I lose ten hours a week from tooling.

It used to take a huge amount of time to initialize a repository as well, but they recently switched to Yarn and that helped a lot.

I'm planning on leaving because as parent says, it's been a disaster from start to finish. Developer tooling does not help you be productive, the app performance is quite poor, and it's just not enjoyable to work on.

No, I am not an apologist for bigotry. That's why I'm against it when it's done by liberals, just the same as I'm against it when it's done by conservatives. The only difference is that liberals don't do it based on race. I'm not sure that makes it any better, though.

I love to read on Medium but it nly works for me when I NEVER recommend, reply or even read anything that's not outside my focused interest, which is programming topics.

Their algorithm is bad , way too sensible. I read a single opiniated post about politics or what have you and the next day my mostly Javascript / Front End feed is flooded with angry women talking about feminism, or people talking about Trump, or that idiot "SF Ali" writing pointless drivel.

They really need to add a way to make magazines of sorts, to be able to have different feeds. The notion of mixing together all kind of interests doesn't make sense. WHen I want to read about web development, I don't want to read about Trump. And vice versa.

I think the design of Medium gave it a certain "chic" but I quickly began to realize it's just another blogging platform and there are a LOT of badly written articles on there.

I wish there was something like Medium focused on creating ediucative content, where banter and personal opinions are frowned upon. So I can go to a feed, and just LEARN things. I don't know if it's even possible to do that though.

You just buy a key for each and leave them permanently plugged in. Works best with the nano.

(This assumes that you're OK allowing physical access to the device to count as one of the factors in 2FA, instead of e.g. physical access to your keychain or wallet or messenger bag where you would otherwise keep the key.)
Are there enough funds outperforming the index tracking funds to even start thinking about zagging?
Yes, I agree, to a point. However, if we suppose that Autopilot driving was several orders of magnitude safer than normal driving, the probability that the (admittedly poor) statistics at this point would show it being equal to normal driving is very low.

If I say "black swans are extremely rare in this part of the world", and you spot one the very next day, the Bayesian in you would assign a low probability to my statement being true, even though that's based on a sample size of one.
If there's someone who makes content I like to see, I purchase their merchandising, books, courses, assist to their events, etc., that's pretty simple.

Why support the middle man who just makes the Internet a worse place when you can directly support an author's efforts?

The advertisement business model just exists to justify the existence of low quality content.
Setting up a same-origin policy (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-o...) would prevent people from embedding the image in other websites.

You could try generating a unique token for each page-view, and use this as an access-token for all other resources pulled by the page.

The reality is that it's not too many people who will misuse your API... so don't pick a mechanism that will place undue load on your server until you really have to.
Great state of the web
From an inventory perspective, yes. =)

But -- you still need to get people coming to your site somehow, which is actually the harder part.

You can buy ads, do social media marketing, blog posts--lots of techniques. And there are a ton of services for that. I've experimented with many, and continually try to refine that aspect of the business, but I can't claim to be an expert yet.

I reply to emails every day. Once you get orders, you do need to check and make sure everything is going smoothly, and ensure that your customers' needs are met.

I also get a lot of emails asking for advice about various upgrades, fixes, product recommendations. And these often lead to sales, as long as I have something that works. Depending on your store, there can be a consultative aspect to it.

I built and run SugarWOD (https://www.sugarwod.com). SugarWOD is a workout solution for CrossFit gyms including apps (iOS/Android), website, plug-ins, and TV support. Was a solo, free service for the first 3 years. Converted to a paid model 1.5 yrs ago, and as of a few months ago have part-time contractors helping with tech/ops, mktg, and support.

I agree with novaleaf that a very broad skill set is needed, though I'd add that it might be enough to at least be interested in all the areas mentioned. You can learn a lot along the way, which is a big part of the fun. If you're focussed on making a great Product (capitalized product = the entire customer experience including everything from web copy, onboarding, support, performance, features, etc.) all of it is important.

As an aside, I think it is this breadth that allows someone to be a "10x problem solver", which to me is 10x more interesting than being a "10x developer". Code is a means to an end.

"Success" is a malleable and personal term, but by typical SaaS metrics SugarWOD is a success. Millions of workouts logged, paying customers, profitable, growing quickly.

More importantly, I get huge satisfaction working on something I feel passionate about, and I really love running the entire business from a laptop anywhere in the world (though I'm usually not far from Colorado :)
"But they won't hire someone with 15-20 years of experience as non-senior, and let them do the same"

Certain to Win is very good.

There's also sort of an "anthology" book on Boyd/OODA called Science, Strategy, and War by Osinga.

You can find some other random content on dnipogo.org and in the web archive for belisarius.com (I don't know why this is down now).

When reading about Boyd and his ideas, I think it's best to focus on the core concepts and reason about applications yourself. He built his philosophy bottom up (he was originally a fighter pilot). Examples like in Certain to Win are looking for parallels that exist coincidentally... or perhaps a better word is patterns ( http://www.dnipogo.org/boyd/patterns_ppt.pdf )
Notice that it's not checking the data with JavaScript. I was under the impression that there is already a security measure against this as far as JavaScript is concerned. The browser is already instructed to lie to JavaScript about certain details such as the :visited state of a link and any CSS rules that follow as a result of this.
Interesting. I was never aware of any actual distinction between them, I always assumed they were alternative names for the same thing. A niche technical marketing failure, at least in my case.
Wow, downvoters!

Seriously, just google "is social security a pyramid scheme".

You'll find a LOT of breathless articles from personal blogs and sites like World Net Daily calling it a pyramid scheme.

You'll also find a lot of, for lack of a better way to put it, content of actual substance that describes how it's not a pyramid scheme, but a sustainable government program that's worked out just fine for decades (with regular adjustments, as all human endeavors need).
>Not really. You can get up to about 1Mhz on a breadboard, and my wire-wrap SBC works at 4Mhz without any issues.

That's true, but for a newbie like myself, it would be rather hard to get going.

Also, the current run of the W65C51 is majorly broken, which makes getting the project going even harder (most alternatives to the W65C51 are no longer sold).
Penny Millionaire Binary Software REVIEW
> such that every offer you ever receive is ~6.2% lower than it would be if SS didn't exist

Every offer is up to 6.2% lower. I have a business with employees but their pay is sufficiently low (compared to the revenue of the business; their pay is above market for the jobs they do) that SS does not enter into our calculations. If the employer portion of SS was eliminated tomorrow we would not give anyone a 6.2% raise, nor would future employees get offers 6.2% greater.

I'm sure somewhere there is an employee whose salary is a big piece of a business's income and they would have gotten a little more money had that tax not been there. But I'm pretty sure that's the exception rather than the rule, if for no other reason than SS taxes are capped so you reach a point where more salary does not equal more SS tax.
The anti-competitive behavior was creating price inefficiency. Standard Oil owned almost the entire refinery market, and they were colluding with railroads so they effectively owned distribution. This vertical alignment meant they could effectively set whatever price they wanted because there was no other game in town.
Interesting, I just learned that one of the developer (Kenny Root) also develops the ConnectBot Android app (SSH Client)!
It depends on your country I guess, it's very common here where most ISPs by capacity on other networks. But also in the rural / wireless broadband space where you actually have to manage infrastructure there are a few examples.

The Strange Art of the Posthumous Portrait
I've been burned out twice. The first and deeper of the two was right after I graduated years ago. It made the whole process of going straight into the workforce bittersweet, as I was mentally not ready to muster the energy to endure the rigors of professional development on-boarding for a new grad. I managed, but no where near at a potential I could of been. A brutal semester of final projects and endless nights had left me somewhat poisoned, so to speak. It caused the recuperation of my mental and physical state to be much longer (over a year) than if I took a 2-3 week vacation like I should have done, I imagine. I've always taken this as a likely scenario for a new grad when being brought on within a company.

The second, like the author, was when I was gung-ho into a new technology and went at personal projects endlessly for a solid 12 months before I came up for air and took a breather, with similar but more superficial effects than the first burnout.

I regret these mistakes, and I've learned the hard way to do work in moderation. However, I am not an entrepreneur for these very reasons, and I simply don't want that lifestyle for the long-term. I'm hoping my health will thank me 30 years from now.

That's a bit simplistic. Certainly there are people who defeated and bitter due to shallowness and lack of imagination vs those with the will and wisdom to pursue their objectives effectively. But it seems to me that you're identifying a philosophical dichotomy within your professional class.

But besides the philosophical divide, people are sorted by circumstantial conditions, depending on what good/bad luck they've had, decisions they've made, and economic situations they've experienced. Life might force people to choose between supporting their family and pursuing their dreams, or their dreams might depend on capital or social resources that they have no idea how to acquire, or they might be saddled with some burdensome health condition.

It's not simply a matter of having failed to make a necessary psychological adjustment to take charge of one's own life. There are lots of people out there that are fully aware of their situation and poorly positioned to do anything about it.
"Would Google hire a "plateaued" senior SWE for a senior SWE role?"

Sure.
I've done it. I have hired senior swes who are happy being senior swe's, for a variety of reasons.
As long as they can actually maintain a minimum level of performance at that level, SGTM.

"Would you hire this same person?"

Yes.

The bar is basically set at the point they aren't serious overhead to others, can figure out what needs to get done, and get it done.

Anything over that is just gravy.
Was there a lot of security? Usually the restaurant's customers are pre-arranged and fully vetted by intelligence agencies whenever the president decides to "casually" eat at a restaurant, and half the tables are filled with covert security and secret service workers. There were probably snipers on the roof too.
Yes, America has a "limited" cycling culture, but we're a nation of 300 million people; within that there are pockets of very real cycling culture informed by decades of experience from elsewhere.

Some of us do cycle, too. There are miles and miles of good trails running through some cities you wouldn't expect.
The minority already has constitutional protections to live, love, worship, engage in commerce, employ speech and association, without interference from the majority. Their rights are already guaranteed by the constitution.

Getting a way-outsized vote in federal elections is undemocratic, and doesn't protect the minority from "tyranny" so much as give it outsized power, just as a quirk of geography.

Heh, funny you mentioned the IBM laptop. I actually have been thinking of getting one of those (W700ds) and gutting them to be more modern. I like it cause it's IBM (so pretty strong), the second screen is small-ish and not that intrusive, it's easy to take in or out, and it wouldn't take up that much space on a train/plane/wherever.

But yeah, I'm with you that I'd like a mini display that's detachable instead. I think one exists, but horribly overpriced, ugly, and horrible resolution.
The recent trend is to use the git shell on windows and execute bash scripts.
I wouldn't. I also think it is a small subset of projects in which specific technology choices are critical. Also, it seems you are describing to opposing problems, one shop only wants to use the technology it knows (in my opinion this should be the default position) and another in which they mindlessly want to use the latest and coolest. It takes a very knowledgeable manager to tell the rare cases of "we need the latest tech" from "my engineers want to play with the latest tech"

I have been running https://pageproofer.com for 3 years. It allows web designers and developers to easily leave feedback and track issues directly on websites (like digital sticky notes). It has been profitable from year 1 and continues to grow month over month.

The growth is slow and steady but not at a point where I'm doing it full time. I don't think 'successful' needs to be determined as 'majority of owners income'. For me it's a lucrative side project that requires little attention day to day. It doesn't need to provide the majority of my income since it doesn't take the majority of my time.
