Because both "conservative" and "liberal" states are deeply capitalist, but they're favoring different sorts of industries. "Liberal" states are built off treating skills and innovation as the source of productivity growth; "conservative" states off treating resource extraction as productivity growth. "Liberal" states implement policies designed to foster the productivity of their professional-managerial class, "conservative" states to extract resources with minimal labor costs.

They are in different lines of business.
It's the "wipe out a population" thing that I'm getting hung up on. Certainly, state pensions are increasingly problematic, but your assertion of cultural extinction is jarring - very 'Camp of the Saints'.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but paying students to work on OSS seems entirely backwards, and sends a confusing message about open source. It makes no sense for an experienced volunteer, contributing for free, to mentor a student being paid to contribute.

I think a better system would be some kind of endorsement program, where Google donates money to projects and in return the projects agree to mentor one or more student contributors. At the end of the summer if everything works out, Google can endorse the student for the work they've done. The project gets something done, the extra cost of bureaucracy is covered by Google, and the student gets real world experience verified and endorsed by Google.

This is probably the best case for giving your child a "unique" name. I would have also probably changed my name after the first occurrence.
Isn't it a stretch to call them "Vikings?"

They where clearly Norwegians. The Kalmar Union was in effect in 1450, and the kingdoms had been formed for long. There were at least two Universities in Scandinavia, etc.
Why is a student loan servicer any different from a mortgage servicer? I don't go to my mortgage servicer for leniency or charity; why should my student loan servicer be any different?

If we want student loan servicer behavior to change, we need to legislate it. Just like we did (or didn't, depending on your point of view) for mortgage servicers.
This is a false dichotomy, there are more options available than "complete, 100% unbiased" and "completely 100% biased".

You can present things in a relatively objective way, even if you have a bit of a bias. You can do it by treating the other side fairly, and with compassion/understanding.

That is not what happens anymore, people have carved out their audiences and play TO those audiences, and they craft their narrative based upon what that audience wants, rather than a compassionate treatment of the other side.
If you mean https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry, it is not exhaustive. The first three Haskell startups to come to mind (AlphaSheets, LeapYear, Takt) are all missing - as is the (very limited) use at Uber.
Allow borrowers to default on student loans. Then banks can charge an appropriate interest rate for the credit risk of the borrower, based on pursued major (among other things).
I should add "under california law". But it's very hard to prove anything, and whether you end up winning or not, it's expensive.

Of course there's nuance there, but in the case of "Hello contractor, I've got an idea and I want you to sign an NDA for me to tell you about my predictive analytics solution", unless the contractor literally steals the name of the company and weirdly specific plans you provided in writing, there is no case. And even if there was a case, do you have tens of thousands of dollars to chase it?

Is there a famous case where an NDA became a key factor? I think Facebook would be the one everyone thinks of, but that wasn't a case of an NDA, there was a lot more going on there. But if Mark had just said "Actually, I'm severing any business relationship and starting an entirely new codebase, company, etc. by myself" he probably would have been fine. Especially in California.

Please would you explain what you mean by "practically universal".
I just checked mine now, new Moto Play Z so pretty recent, and it's much less noticable than it used to be. However, going into a dark spot so nothing else could be seen, the led in the remote flashed a slight purple. Definitely enough to check it's working, but you need a bit more cover around it to be able to see it. In the past, they used to flash like bright bulbs.
Your welcome!! I just watched your Ted Talk which someone here linked to.---

I would also like to give a you a big shout out for Teaching!!

If everyone here followed your lead, the world would benefit greatly.
Except a process for producing fertilizer had been invented by an ardent German nationalist named Fritz Haber and had been productionslized by Karl Bosch. The Haber-Bosch process had been scaled up to produce explosives for World War 1. Haber also spent the war developing chemical weapons for Germany. Despite this, he still won the Nobel Prize for Haber-Bosch process in 1918 due to its applications to agriculture and solving the fertilizer crisis.

This doesn't change the fact that land was still valuable enough to fight a genocidal war over it. But it does make it more poignant that after Haber invented the pesticide Zyklon A, it was reformulated and used to murder his family. Haber, like many Germans who served their country in WWI, was Jewish.
You cant put a metric on the future.. In the literal sense..you cant measure whatyou yet dont know..or how valueable it will be for humanity.
Thanks, that's helpful to know. I'm actually thinking about within the context of that edit of the cells. Is it a binary thing where either the cell is edited or it isn't, or can we have an edit with some error rate in regards to what actually was pasted in? The cutting seems highly specific, you need some sort of homology between your guide RNA and the target sequence, right? It's the pasting I'm mainly curious about.

All the pop science articles seem to make it out to be a flawless system, and the engineer in me is highly skeptical of that narrative.
I've had an estranged family member and a job offer come to me through Facebook messages. They both ended up in the "other senders" section on the website - which I didn't even know existed for years. I read some news story on messages lost into that folder, checked it, and realized that major events in my life had disappeared into someone's shitty UX choice.

I don't even know what to do about this - deleting my FB account might stop people from doing this, but it's far from guaranteed and any test I run now will be invalid as soon as the UX changes again.
Find a lawyer and get an NDA made that you can use with your clients. It's almost always better to use yours than theirs, as there is a smaller chance for surprises.
the combined assets of the entire class of student debtors is probably NEGATIVE (they are debtors, remember) whereas the assets of even a single major shareholder (Carl Icahn as a benchmark) are in the billions of dollars and outweigh the rest of it combined.

this is one of the side effects of the massive income and wealth inequality American style capitalism causes.
I recommend ignoring the negative trolls. They're probably just grumpy and haven't had their lunch yet haha

> This makes no sense. "People associate X with Y" is not the same as "Y is responsible for X". If I associate Android with Linux, is Linus now culpable for Android's security problems?

This is ridiculous. Linus in Android is a component, not a whole system, and phone vendor own SW are way too accessory in the ecosystem and add so little value in it that they don't render Android a mere component in the same way: the base Android is the system, whereas drivers and 3rd party GUI or other minor stuff are what should be sufficiently decoupled so that Android can be updated without vendor consent.

Doing otherwise has proven to expose users at risk, and given its situation Google is responsible, not a swarn of phone vendors.

I might not be saying that if Android was really open, but then Android might not have that market share. Well, in the end, even that reinforce the argument that Google is responsible...
The tractor (technically some sort of 'harvester') had cost around $700k. The farmer had stopped paying (probably went bankrupt) and still owed $180k.

I was a 19yo, freshly back to the US from Germany (I had been there since I was 11) and suddenly found I was unable to obtain any sort of credit (like getting a phone, electricity, an apartment etc.)

Everyone involved could easily see what happened. And no one could fix it.

People who "just want to get to work" aren't buying cars that start at $35,000, either.
Ford's experienced how devastating an economic downturn can be for an auto manufacture. Tesla started their first serious mass market car (Model S) in 2012 and has had the benefit of being in a growing and healthy market.

Rainy day funds look like such a waste of money until the roof starts leaking.
Honest question: can you think of any examples that are not already trendy cities (as the case has been with those three) where large tech companies have made serious investments that led to a big, negative social outcome?

On the flip side, I can think of two success stories. I'm a Pittsburgh native, and my family is still there. The influence of CMU has long been beneficial to the region. The recent fight for AI talent by the likes of Google and Uber have been a source of pride for Pittsburghers generally (though I'm sure folks in academia have concerns) when things like the Uber self-driving experiment launch on their roads first. My grandmother - who has never been on the internet - called me when she read it in the newspaper.

After undergrad, I worked for a large tech company that put an outpost in the Detroit area. There had been rumors this company may leave town (which did not happen), and the local papers and city were deeply disappointed at this possibility. When they ultimately announced they were actually expanding their office, it was considered a big win in the media.

So yeah, this is a very different cultural and economic experience than my current one in the Bay Area. I do agree with you though -- going into cities with competitive housing markets and trendiness probably just puts you on a crash course to similar problems in your new locale.

Fortunately, there are a lot more cities in America that do not have those issues and actively seek business development.

You misunderstood me. Of course I love to invent and innovate. That's why I don't like memorizing solution to coding challenges. But just because I don't know them by hearth doesn't mean I don't know where to find the solution. Which is the more important skill.
when they took over my loans from salliemae they told us (in writing) that auto-pay would transition.... then it didn't transition, and they tried to ding me for a missed payment. what a nightmare. ultimately my issue was resolved, but only after i filed a complaint with a team at the federal student aid office that handles disputes that cannot be resolved through the lender:

then a navient person in that department reached out to me almost immediately.

I'm sorry but choosing theme music is reserved for senior managers and above. Anyone below this rank will be assigned music based on their last performance report.
This is the way to think about it here. It's a contract that happens to be called an NDA. NDAs vary from company to company, some are very permissive whereas others contain non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. You should review the contract carefully before signing it, and red-line it if it doesn't meet your needs. If you aren't familiar with these kinds of contracts, you may want to get a lawyer to help you.

If this is your livelihood, getting a lawyer is even more important. Consider it a cost of doing business.

Some years ago I wrote a tool called mailcat, which is a fake SMTP server that prints the incoming emails to stdout. I use it to this day when I need it in development. It's available at https://github.com/soveran/mailcat
I'd love to see them perform the same benchmark on macOS 10.12. Pthread mutexes were sped up in "the new OSes" according to a tweet made last year (sorry no link), though I'm not sure if that was referring to 10.11 or 10.12. Either way, the benchmark should perform better now, and I'm curious how much. I'd run it myself except those numbers wouldn't be comparable to OP's Mac Mini benchmark. Of course, OP's Linux benchmark numbers aren't either, because it's a different (and probably much more powerful) machine.
My experience with Verizion (last time was about 5 years ago) was always that the Customer Service Reps were NICE people, but were utterly unable to do ANYTHING in their systems.

>And more competition in the h/w space? Common, you already have an insane amount of competition for Android phones

That competition is only on the surface. For SoC, GPU, baseband, radios etc., you are stuck with Qualcomm. Or maybe Samsung's exynos, which isn't necessarily better.
This is a huge deal for places like India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh where the vast majority of people do not have a bank account from which they can get a Visa or Mastercard. Probably 85%+ of the population. Those who do have basic bank accounts (we're talking about the bulk of the population whose monthly salary is less than the local currency equivalent of $400 USD) can't get credit cards or are unwilling/unable to jump through the hoops necessary to do so.
NDAs cover a lot more than just the idea. So no, your blog post does not cover OP's situation.
A simple explanation of the opposition is that a national identification number will be assigned, and then we go cashless, then only people with those numbers will be able to do commerce of any type. Add in a bit of requirements that would require a violation of someone's religion and you got the story. Preventing a national id number stops part of the problem. Expect a lot of push back on any attempt to get rid of cash.
Data is king when it comes to autonomous driving tech. Last time I checked Tesla had over a billion miles driven (may have passed 2 billion by now) in real world environment. Google has the second most data collected with 2-3 million miles driven which is orders of magnitude lower than Tesla. Not even gonna mention Ford.

Also Tesla is the only company that has the hardware setup for full autonomy to achieve level 5 on a production car. They are just working on software. Any other company couldn't even theoretically have level 5 autonomy even if they had the software ready to go
Mm... no. You wrote about a completely different problem. Signing an NDA for an _idea_ is indeed not a good idea. In the case of OP there's an established business with, presumably valuable, internal information to be revealed to a contractor (vendor). NDAs are understandably common/expected in cross-vendor relationships.
I've heard you lose a lot of rights refinancing that way.
I can understand a variety of cash usages over credit for fee savings, privacy and getting around transaction limits. But I can't understand why anyone would use a check cashing place. Can you not get a bank account for free in the US? Even my grocery store runs a free banking service here with no minimum - you lose out on some things like teller withdrawal, but they have ATMs everywhere and unlimited debit transactions.
I personally won't sign an NDA without a non-refundable $10,000 deposit.

Not worth my time to go through those hoops. If they think their stuff is so snowflake special and need to protect it with an NDA, they can pay my fee for signing an NDA.

What caused the downfall of New York City's glitziest restaurant?
just barely. to be held legally accountable an injured party has to file suit, litigate the case (long and expensive), and win a judgment that will be a large enough quantity of money to force the company to not just break the law in the same way again because it was profitable to do so.
If that's the case, why was Tesla's first car a super-fast sports car rather than a practical minivan/people mover or a low cost car for the masses?
