Yes, I got this from what you said:

"Some people may come in with a lower ask but then you have yourself, are they a bargain or are they just less talented?"

shrug I have faith in my interviewing skills. I was interviewing for a position for about 5 months for a very picky employer. I interviewed a lot of people who were good but expensive and even more who were cheap but not so good. Eventually I spotted a bargain and they snapped him up.

I don't really believe in bargains though. It takes a lot of time and effort to find one and they tend to leave quickly once they've figured out that they underpriced themselves.

Most places I've worked I've done so initially on a short term contract. I prefer it mainly because I can charge more.

As is often mentioned in these discussions, the government cannot be treated as a monolithic entity. So when someone suggests a basic income might solve welfare problems, they aren't suggesting the intelligence agencies should be the ones running it.

On that note, while government has been tearing down walls between agencies, in some cases we should be raising walls.

> The rates effectively differ per race. You could say that this is just about legal votes - but then, why not make sure everybody has similar access?

Because politics and vote count. Same reason why re-districting/gerrymandering happens.

> You could play semantics and talk about groups affected by income, etc. That's an interesting discussion and could give higher confidence numbers. But the practical effect is that with the ID enforcement, at most 5% of likely supporters and at most 13% of likely opposition group lose the right to vote.

This is towards what I'm saying -- it's about expected votes from districts. If the motivation from the Democrats is about voter blocs, that's about winning positions and not about "fighting racism", but they're go with the latter because emotional appeal.

Real American wages increase with the dollar, not decrease.

The dollar climb has boosted American purchasing power dramatically. That is especially important for a nation that imports as much as the US does.

Americans can buy more with their wages than they could prior to the dollar climb. That covers nearly every economy the US imports from, as the dollar has gained against essentially every currency on the planet. Simultaneously, real wage growth has been outpacing inflation for years now and is set to continue to climb at an accelerating pace due to a dramatic decrease in labor slack in the last five years.

This. I would recommend anyone interested take a look at a kerosene lamp [1] (not sure if "lamp oil" that you can get is still just kerosene) but they've always had a similar effect on me. The color is nice but they are plenty bright to read by. I grew up with them and find them very calming but they are a little more stable and the flame is not totally open. You might be able to get away with less of them than candles as well making it safer. I would recommend nodding off and leaving it going all night but it won't melt and tip over by itself, it would likely just keep burning until it ran out of fuel or the wick burned out.

I love the look and the ease of selecting a destination idea.

When it shows out-of-country options like "Grand Cayman" it routes your flights from your location to "FL" (closest airport to Cayman) and then seems to drop the ball there. The results for skyscanner shows cayman, but I don't see the flight anywhere. It's not a clear UI.

Small thing, you must type the airport identifier in caps ("LAX" vs "lax") if you want it to find it.

As much as I considerably support the transition toward renewables - I agree: this is fundamentally the job of state and local politicians. They can actively attempt to shape the conversation on a local level - but they are "hired" as a representative of the people and the people's will. It's the people, on a local level, that must be convinced that change is necessary.

Well, I didn't know that a felony conviction or cheating on your wife were political views. However, given the current President, perhaps you're right.

>It's incredibly easy to not be racist if you're not racist. I've spent zero effort to continue not being racist this year (same as last year).

This is just one of those things where if you think you have it licked, you probably don't. It's less about understanding how to reach the end goal than it is understanding the process we need to get there. I realize you probably think you're not racist, but there is a high probability you have at the very least some implicit bias against non-white people if you are white and were brought up in a largely white community.

I'd like to think I'm not racist, but unfortunately going around to people yelling "but I'm not racist" doesn't really do a lot to solve the very real and persisting problem of racism even if it were entirely true in the first place. Curiously the racists I know are also the most likely to loudly and frequently proclaim that they aren't racist, often just before they say something racist. Even if you are a perfect angel yourself I think in most if not all moral frameworks you still have a shared responsibility of fighting against racism if you are white.

>I'd say that it's weird that you're singling out white people in the US (which is also amusing, because opposed to what other country?) as racist, but you've already self-reported as a racist.

I'm not sure what your point is here, I think Americans are a lot less racist than most people in Europe but we still have a lot of work to do.

>Also, anyone can be racist, not just white people.

Yes, that is very true. I apologize for forgetting about internalized oppression. Internalized racism is an extremely difficult problem and speaks to how deeply white supremacy pervades much of Western culture and governance. Again, the solution is recognizing that it exists and taking steps to change that while doing what we can to protect the people it affects.
What about Republicans? Libertarians? Why do you assume that Democrats are the majority or that their opinion has any more weight than anyone else? As the darling President of the Democrats, Obama has increased the surveillance state more than anyone before him.

I suspect something like this relates parts of (my) cognition:

Attention ~ ∫ Interestingness dt

Interestingness ~ dBeauty/dt

Beauty ~ iterative compression of the amount of information necessary to motivate phenomenon

Those are basically Schmidhuber's ideas, btw.

So I try to keep things tidy and quiet when I try to focus; no need to misallocate precious limited neural spikes on "which direction are the cars outside going," or "darn, someone has re-arranged all the belongings in my workspace- now my hippocampus has to refill its low-resolution geometric description of the room with high-information-cost memories of new object locations [0]," or "hmm am I thirsty? maybe I'm thirsty.. oh did I reply to that email yet? hmm am I thirsty? ooh I ought to check HN..." etc.

It's like that recently-popular article that talks about why you shouldn't interrupt programmers, but generalized - you shouldn't "interrupt" any stream of consciousness with contextually-irrelevant noise.

I feel it also has to do with why a spatio-associative memorization scheme is very useful in humans; whether that presents itself via "the night before a big test, I study in the same room where I will take the test" or "I memorized 200 digits of pi by remembering (3, kitchen), (1, living room), (4, garden), (1, living room), ..., and relying upon the imagined path I take throughout the house."

This is false. Passwords are only as sensitive as all the data they access. Given that it's impossible for you to know what other data the user is protecting with the same password, you must assume all passwords are as sensitive as the most sensitive data a user might reasonably secure with that password.

Now that Trump is in charge of the NSA, the broader Democratic Party will once again rediscover privacy as a core civil liberties issue, after having almost completely ignored it for the prior eight years. The few consistent champions of privacy on the left in DC, will be joined by a large wave of fair weather supporters. It's better than the alternative of nobody caring for the next N years of Trump's Presidency. Unfortunately, the Democrats will also have very little power to do anything about the espionage boom that's about to occur. If the left base had really wanted to make a difference, they should have aggressively protested Obama's radical expansion of espionage programs, he might have listened more had the protests been much larger.

Agree that an advanced degree really helps, but in my experience it could be in any quantitative field. If you're getting a MS just to become a data scientist, I agree that CS or stats are the most natural choices, but I've seen great candidates whose degrees were in physics, biosciences, psychology, math, economics, etc. (some of whom we've hired or given offers to).

The key is that the degree has to involve actual work with messy big real-world data with a lot of uncertainties. It's possible to build that kind of experience on your own without doing an advanced degree, but it seems to be rare based on candidates who apply to work with us.

Please stop pointing fingers at the American "government" and realize that the issue is really the average American.

The US public has had over 10 years to figure it out, blaming the government is just causing more problems, not less; to understand why it's been 10 years, Google "Room 641A", which was exposed in 2006.

Sure, there are people in America that are opposed to mass surveillance, but the bulk of Americans willfully allow it.

If you think the issue is important, do me a favor: find 10 people next week that do not believe it is an issue, help them see it is, and get them to the point that they want to help do the same thing you just did the following week.

Even if only 5 of the 10 people go on to do the same the week after, if that pattern went on for a year, by the end of the year mass surveillance would no longer exist; happy to explain, but math is a basic viral coefficient[1]; that is if only one person reading this did it and succeed, which would mean in less than three months the majority of the US would have been "converted" to supporting change.

Or an easy problem. Or any problem. Or social work. Or volunteer-ism. Or cycling. Or wandering the streets of your city. Honestly the work based culture has dulled the creativity people to such an extent that they can't think of anything outside of work. Or maybe human males are wired for this sort of thing. I dunno.

The reason people become drug addicts or alcoholics is that it's painful to be outside of the social culture. And work is the social culture of our time. It's the only thing that makes people feel relevant. We need to invent alternative forms of feeling relevant.
After I tried the same thing for a couple weeks and really enjoyed it, I looked for the closest thing to a pair of candles in a holder that I could think of: a small, hand-portable, battery powered (ideally something standard and replaceable) lightly shaded lantern/lamp that gave off pretty close to the same light as the pairs of beeswax candles I'd been using, which were just about the perfect amount of light. Hard to read by one candle, easy by two, three would be OK but heading toward too bright.

I found nothing in that sort of form factor that wasn't far too bright, and all of them were LED (incandescent would be much nicer). I just want a little battery-powered lamp that takes a weak nightlight bulb. Seems like it should exist.

[EDIT] after writing this I tried "portable nightlight" on a whim and that search does return things kinda like what I want, though they're all LED and in form factors that wouldn't be too pleasant to carry around. So close, but not quite.
At what point did I suggest that a literal wall is the solution?

> what effect would it have on the legal movement?

Why would it have an effect? The process to come to the United States is well-documented and there are US tax-payer backed services to help guide people through the process. From direct experience, it's a predictable, bureaucratic machine.

> But will it really discourage drug trade, where people already risk their lives as it is?

Possible, because tighter controls or deportations of people in the US against its laws clamps down on the support structures needed to help coordinate and support trafficking. However, illicit drug trade isn't the only negative effect from illegal immigration -- there's also a lowering of domestic wages, increased burden on social services, and human health risk as illegal immigrant peoples are hesitant to engage the police or housing services when major issues arise.
$120 per MWh (well, $115.60) is the residential retail price in Wyoming, not the price that electricity producers get at point of generation:

The wholesale price a new American wind farm gets for its output in a region with good resources is maybe $30-$40/MWh. (Or $40-$50 if the wind farm lasts 25 years and collects the federal Production Tax Credit for its first 10 years.) The extra $10 in taxes makes a bigger difference at the wholesale level.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't. This is immediately obvious to anyone who's tried to solve practical problems in languages, rather than just learned them for resume embellishment purposes. That's also why sane companies limit the languages that can be used for development: if you let your "theoreticians" run wild, you will soon end up with code written in Brainfuck and Malbolge using libraries no one understands. I'm exaggerating, obviously, but only slightly.

I'm currently experimenting with the idea of keeping two types of to-do list: a list of things I can't forget that I need to get done every day, and a list of things that advance my projects. Has anyone tried something similar or use a different methodology to get things done?

Politics and positions aside, a refreshing thing about this year was seeing that someone flaunting almost all those norms can still get mass voter appeal.

(Though at the same time, the establishment on both side has reasons to love Trump: Democrats can point at his violations of norms and out-there ideas instead of addressing their own issues, and Republicans can let him soak up the media attention to reduce attention on their passing more of their generally-not-that-popular agenda.)
