Even if this was built on retribution - which, as pointed out by the author of the website, it is not - I would still be glad it exists, even in spite of that rationale.

It's not to harm you, the staffer who already knows everything you do is being tracked.

Instead, I think it is to start conversations with less technically-inclined people about privacy. That the conversation can start with data from the offices of people who passed this legislation is important, because explaining it in a more broader sense can be difficult and, potentially, scary.

It's good to hear you, as Congressional staff, know that your history is already tracked. GovTrack is doing nothing more than what you already expect. Just think if CNN started dumping this data for everyone in the country to start a conversation, though; that would be scarier and more of an invasion of privacy against unwitting citizens.

Because GovTrack is only publishing your internet accesses of its site - rather than the much wider amount of information on Legistorm - this gives me a great way to inform people about what happens.

I've already started a conversation with my friends and family about what tracking really happens on the internet.

I have been surprised at the misunderstandings many of my friends have about what can and cannot be tracked by various actors online. The huge reach of Facebook and Google in tracking people and knowing what you like has confused many people about the difference between what those private companies know and what the ISP knows.

I applaud GovTrack for providing this. Releasing it close to when the recent bill was passed by both houses of Congress is handy timing that will let that conversation continue with my less-tech-oriented friends and family.

> It's a harder issue to solve, but the problem really is that business interests will almost always trump constituent concerns.

And that's the conversation I can continue to have with my friends and family, thanks to this history readout on GovTrack.

Adams has recently come out as a Trump supporter. Maybe that's it? He's still a strange choice of target, since he's not (as far as I know) one of the crazies screaming about "cucks" or Benghazi or whatever.

> The "mobility" market will be about the size of the taxi, bus, and train market.

- A personal, individual vehicle which comes to pick you up where you are and take you to exactly where you want to go is a much MUCH higher value proposition than public transit.

- Add self-driving to the mix, and the cost of that service will plummet.

- When the car providing that service can drive itself, then there is little to no inconvenience to the vehicle owner to offer that service, and significant financial incentive.

- Because car owners will be able to make "rent" from their capital investment, owning a car will start to look more like property ownership than a depreciating investment-- especially as maintenance and operation costs fall for electric vehicles.

- There will be very strong financial incentive to use self-driving ride pools instead of putting up a large wad of cash to own a car. So total car ownership will go way down, and will be done much more by the wealthy and much less by the working/middle class.

- Cost of ownership is especially high in cities (parking), and the market for ride sharing is highest. So probably many fewer city dwellers will own cars.

- Families that own can shrink to one car instead of two, since the car can drop people off or pick them up.

I think there are a lot of pretty good reasons why the vehicle market is going to change significantly in the next 15 years.
Tesla is RISKY: it is a bigger gamble, higher volatility, higher upside if it works out, bigger chance of it going completely bust. Put Tesla in your portfolio if you want to add some risk to it. You want stability with a healthy dividend? Well, add some Ford to it.

Shorting is the way you capitalize on a stock that you think is overvalued. It is an advanced maneuver but can be done for the long term as well.

IBM...man, IBM is a tech company that got rid of most of its R&D to focus on consulting and accounting tricks. But ignoring that, IBM has a huge R&D division but has been unable to come up with any breakthroughs for quite some time now, it is the canonical mature tech company that isn't going to have rapid growth like a startup.

> If we are serious about climate change, then sometime in the 2030s [1] we have to stop building new combustion engines.

Or there might be a breakthrough in carbon capture, converting atmospheric CO2 into petroleum and we can drive combustion engines forever.

CO2 capture is an area of active research and it's entirely possible that advances there will make Tesla and Solar City moot.
The car sharing won't cover everyone's needs and some people will stick to keeping their own car. I'd imagine people living in urban areas are more likely to use a car sharing service since it's uneconomical to own a car in most cities. I'd imagine the suburbs will be a mix of sharing and ownership. I can imagine a family having a car they keep for weekends or whenever the parents and kids need to go somewhere but they still use a car sharing service during the weekdays when mom takes the family car to work and dad need to get to work too.
I think his point is that DCF of a company's free cash flow is an attempt to estimate enterprise value, not equity value.

The answer is, Americans are often fearful people about irrational things. (I am one, and I get into arguments all the time with friends about their irrational fears of the gubmint, terriss, communiss, you name it.)

Keeping us afraid is good business for a lot of low-rent grift industries, like doomsday preppers, as well as high-level ones, like the military industrial complex.
NDAs that just cover exact work you are doing for the client and protection of their clients are fine. Really most just want you not talking about what you are doing with the client to others or taking their clients.

Non-competes are the problem and a huge anti-innovation monster out there lurking to get you. They can appear in NDAs, contract agreements and standalone. Refuse to sign these or make sure they ONLY last as long as the contract itself if you must. Some clients try to get you to sign a non-compete for 2+ years on 3-month contracts, many times they are just sending on a default template but some do it on purpose. That is just blatant ownership especially when you come on to transfer knowledge and skills to them in building up their products. They can own the work you do for them because they paid for it, but don't let them own you.

The high cost of college in most cases is actually fueled by the decrease in funding at the state level. The states have dramatically decreased their support for universities, federal funding can only do so much, and thus the only lever left to turn is tuition.

You could cut all student amenities out and most public universities would still be in budget crisis.

If you do sign one, read it carefully and make sure it expires within a couple years of signing. If I'm going to sign one I tell clients 2 years is more than enough time to get to market with there product. I would NEVER sign an NDA with no time limit, especially if I had my own company.

You can't take these things too seriously. Honestly most of the time you can just say you don't sign NDAs. Explain that ideas aren't worth much, execution is, and that you just don't want the liability. That's what I do and people understand. Some people are always going to push their contract - and I've walked away from some. But some people just want reassurance you won't steal their idea.
Car sharing (if self-driven) does provide an additional perk--time and money saved trying to find a place to park and paying for that parking. In addition, people turning into parking lots/garages (or worse parallel parking) interrupt the flow of traffic, making congestion worse. There's also many other potential improvements that self-driving cars could use to reduce congestion (faster speeds, reaction times, communication between cars, etc) and greatly lessen the commute during peak times
Writing code, outside of spaghetti BASIC and similar, is a full time job. It requires hours and hours of thinking and planning.

The research you have to do is based on your previous knowledge. The less you know the more you need to learn when you are facing a problem you don't know how to solve it. But people is lazy, if they know a way to solve it they will go that way even if it is the worst way possible.

I am not talking about implementing an AVL tree without any help or resource. That is simple stupid, we have internet we must use it and save time. My point is that you need to know that there are balanced trees, know some of them and they characteristics. That knowledge will save you time when you face problems related to trees. You are not going to know all the trees because researches are working on new ones every day, but you should have some knowledge in the area.

If you interviewer drop you because you hesitate in something, maybe it is the interviewer problem and not yours. We are not perfect, we should know people will make mistakes and hesitate. I was rejected of interviews when I hesitate when they asked something about linked lists. I was happy it happened, because I was in shock when I was explanning how I did something with and A* algorithm and a octree and I couldn't believe the next question was about a linked list. I wouldn't be happy in that company.
The 1980s Research Unix Editions Are Now Available for Study
It may sound crazy, but I did suffer from it myself. My Windows XP installation was guaranteed to be infected by the worm, because like you said, without any interaction (I didn't even open up the browser, to make sure I was not crazy), the Blaster worm was often sent from somewhere in the Internet during the installation procedure. Even if it wasn't, there was not enough time for me to run Windows Update before my computer being infected, because the infamous "your computer should restart now" message always displayed several minutes after the installation was done. So back in the days, I always made sure to turn off the DMZ before reinstalling Windows XP.

You could check how frequent the attacks were by yourself. I was using a custom firewall software, called ZoneAlarm, to see how many attacks I was receiving in a day. The log said literally every few minutes, the infectious Blaster worm packet was received. It was like how frequent your SSH server is attacked with random passwords - you can see this from the SSH server log too.

One thing to consider is if the client you're dealing with requiring it, or is their firm requiring it by policy? If it's the later, the kind of leeway you'll have in terms of getting appropriate terms signed off by their legal team is quite different.

For example, for early discussions a mutual disclosure agreement is another nice way to get compliance with a company's standard legal terms (ie. both parties agree to not reveal anything confidential or sensitive), and can be useful to get things started far enough to get upper management support required to make exceptions to their standard legal procedures. (I've been in the situation where my and a supplier's legal team's where far and distant enough from a project not to prioritize resolving incompatible differences in standard contract terms for months eventually requiring a loud "nudge" from upper management behind a closed door.)

Honeycomb | London, UK | Software Engineer | Remote first, London office, https://honeycomb.tv/

Hi, I'm Louis! I'm one of the engineers here at Honeycomb. There are 12 of us on the engineering team right now, and we're looking to grow!

Honeycomb are building a next generation Ad Delivery network for Broadcast and Online publishers. Our platform is enabling faster, cheaper delivery of ads from creative agencies and post houses.

Our tech stack is largely Ruby on Rails, though we are breaking out into services and believe in using the right tool for the job (currently we have one service in Node, and another in Go). We use Ansible, Docker, CircleCI and Jenkins to deploy to Linux (and some Windows) on AWS and Azure. We believe in TDD, CI/CD, pair programming, and agile practices.

We work remote first, though those of us that live in England tend to meet at the London office once a week.

Honeycomb is a place of equal opportunity, we believe that the best teams are ones with a diverse background. We are on a journey to make our team “diverse by construction” and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, gender and ethnicity.

Would you like to join us? Reach out to me on louis.pilfold@honeycomb.tv :)
It's really not though. ClojureScript runs on Node.js just fine, and you have stuff like Lumo https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo for scripting, and even a full blown framework for web development https://macchiato-framework.github.io/

The main advantage of keeping Clojure hosted is in being able to leverage the host ecosystem. It's simply not practical to implement an ecosystem comparable to the JVM or Node from scratch, especially for a niche language.
On the flip side, your chances of ever getting past 200k/year (or equivalent) are much better with a degree... if you accept that you aren't likely to hit the top 5-10% of income earners, then most people are not better off with the college experience.
This is useless pedantry. You know what they were trying to say: The improvement can be attributed equally to using a more suitable technology and to better knowledge of the problem domain.
The norm here would be for the NDA to be mutual. Yes, don't sign a unilateral NDA. Sure: if a prospect offers a unilateral NDA, you could consider that a red flag. In ~12 years of consulting, I've never seen that happen; even the janky NDAs that include noncompete language have had mutual NDA language.

If their NDA is basically the same as your NDA, it's not worth fighting to make sure you're signing your paper and not theirs.
Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) was (became; established a whole tradition of being) a hermit/beggar/monk; Socrates was a stone mason (occasionally); Diogenes the Cynic lived in a barrel and begged for food; Jesus was a carpenter and then a wandering preacher; Spinoza (as you note) was a lens grinder; Kant was a tutor; Einstein was a patent clerk. And, as you note, especially in the 19th and 18th centuries, many proto-scientists were people with either an established income or independent wealth, who had the freedom to pursue whatever interested them.

We ought to be finding ways to broaden the number of people who can pursue their interests, while not forfeiting security, dignity, and social respect. This is one of the arguments for universal basic income, that it could decouple (some) people's desire to pursue knowledge from the need to earn a living, and maybe even especially from the need to produce regular, measurable results. Right not we're channeling most of our people who are interested in and capable of developing new knowledge into jobs which demand "results" more than they demand that truth be followed wherever it leads, and however long it takes. This will lead to a great deal of dubious Normal Science [0], and very little revolutionary thought [1].

> Ownership is a legal concept.

> The only solutions to this problem are legal solutions. It is a legal problem to begin with.

This is a flawed statement. Yes, "ownership" is a man-made construct (1). However, laws are only as good as our technical capacity to comply and enforce them. Take carbon emissions for example, MARPOL has put in place several tiers of ship exhaust GHG emissions controls (man-made limits) which are being implemented over several years because the technology needed to comply (and enforce) @ the ever-shrinking thresholds is still under development. However, industry is making progress and we are complying to avoid fines or operational restrictions.

There's only one very slight mention of the lack of fish in their diet in this article, which I think does injustice to a component that (I feel) is exceptionally important to understanding why the colony failed:

They did not eat fish.

Greenland has something like a 3-month harvest period, which is very, very little. Supplementation with seals only gets you so far, especially when the Greenlanders were also focused on trophy hunting to offer tithes to the church back in Europe. A single hiccup in their harvest could lead to an irrecoverable overharvesting of seals and then the eventual starvation (or almost-starvation/exodus). Not eating fish!
