It looks like you're already doing those things. I did notice that a lot of the projects on your landing page are not linked from the grid but are linked from other places on the site. I'm not sure that shines the best light on your design.

While some people fly to the top of the design business. Most people work their way towards it over a number of years. I think that enjoying dealing with clients and a willingness to let other people make changes to one's designs is typically an important skill.

Good luck.
This is compounded when you consider that taxes are also very high in CA and SF, especially compared with states without income taxes like TX or FL.

This is true for SF and NYC but not for SEA (all three of which you mention in the grandparent post). Washington has no state income tax. The cost of living in Seattle is also more comparable to, say, Austin than SF or NYC.

I'll dispute that your points one and two about competition and snobbery apply less in Seattle than they do in SF. I've never been to NYC or LA so I won't comment on those. My feeling about those areas is that the tech scene in NYC is more comparable to SF than to SEA and the tech scene in LA is more comparable to SEA than to SF - although you still deal with the crazy California state income taxes and cost of living issues.

Personally, I think that it is preferable to work for a tech company where what you do is a profit center rather than for a non-tech company where what you do is a cost center. That said, plenty of people make a good living making internal software for non-tech companies. I am sure quite a few of them are great programmers. If they prefer that lifestyle to what they would get in a tech hub, more power to them.
For 5 months of the year, November-Mar, the weather in Florida is sublime. Highs in the 70s, lows in the upper 50s, and humidity in the 50-70% range.

True, in the summer it becomes a hellscape, but 5 months of paradisiacal weather is better than most people get. ;)

Florida has reasonably priced housing (for the most part), plenty of land, and with almost 20 million residents, there is tons of variety across the state; from most population centers, it's a relatively easy drive to more than enough to interest anyone, no matter what you're into (except maybe skiing).

It's very scenic with palms swaying, beautiful sunsets and beaches, many lakes and an abundance of interesting wildlife.

Florida also has no state income tax, strong homestead protections, pretty-OK gun laws, and otherwise mostly-sane state policies.

Zika is a non-issue at this point and there are only a tiny handful of cases of local transmission. Florida is a large state and only the very tip of the peninsula was impacted by local transmission. However, it's always wise to avoid mosquito bites.

There are lots of reasons to like Florida. :)
I dunno. I feel like the one thing that everyone agrees upon is that the use of force _should_ be monopolized to the Police.

IE: Its the TSA who checks your genitals when you go into the airport. Not the private airlines. And that's a good thing: because in theory we have the ability to control the TSA. At least, more so than we have the ability to control any particular airliner.

The big advantage of double entry book keeping is that it provides multiple layers of security in the basic ledger handling the banks must perform.

What we're getting at here is that even after-the-fact remedies in civil court are not a sufficient answer for you, since a large check doesn't get you there in time. Is there anything short of making it a criminal offense for airline personnel not to provide your flight once you're on board (edge cases about misbehavior and canceled flights aside)?

(And yes, the idea that others have the right to compel my labor, on pain of prison, scares me. It also would make me very hesitant to be a pilot and express any concerns about the airworthiness of the plane I'm flying.)
There are no caps on vouchers. (Except economically where you reach a point where the airlines would just rather cancel the flight--which is a rather high bar.)
I am using electron-webrtc. You need xvfb installed. I was able to get this running under node, but only running the processes under tmux. You will also need to install some random shared libraries Chromium needs, but which node-electron doesn't install, but these are obvious from error messages.

Then I'm using simple-peer on top of that. There's also a library for UDP communications from the node process to the golang process.

If the network is unusable for 6 months or so because confirmations take dozens of blocks or need very high fees, what do you think would happen? Everybody just waits for it to blow over and continues like nothing happened? The costs don't matter if the control over the monetary system is at stake. Defend now or the $/€/¥/£/etc will lose value anyways. Not that I expect it to come this far but don't underestimate the monetary power of large states. Bitcoins often quoted market cap is only a very, very small blip on their radar right now.

Human rights apply to humans. Firms and government are not human, not even alive or have any tangible existence.

I don't know about those Trump examples, but it seems to me that usually an elected official is a public figure and as such privacy laws do not apply. Then again human rights and legality are two different things, some human rights may be considered illegal in some places.

I get this, and agree that the flight was not overbooked.

However, let's assume for a minute that a flight was overbooked, and that the airline screwed up and issued boarding passes and seat assignments to more people than could fit on the plane. They start the boarding process before they realize their mistake. They ask for volunteers. No bites. They ask the computer to pick four unfortunate souls. One of the four won't leave the plane. Security is called. Security is overzealous and beats the guy up.

I think this scenario is just as plausible as the one that played out.

I bring this up because I think we're focusing on the wrong thing. Dr. Dao should certainly be focusing on United's improper use of IDB rules, since that's great grounds for a lawsuit.

But let's say it was my hypothetical scenario. I suspect there would be just as much outrage. While I personally think it was foolish to refuse flight crew instructions (reading the news about anything airline-related in the past 15 years suggests that's going to get you in a lot of hot water), no one deserves to get beaten up like that for that "offense".

Why are we focusing so hard on United's wrongdoing in the boarding process instead of focusing on why escalation of force is so accepted and easy?
A few days ago I downloaded a third party iOS library, written in Obj-C. It was provided as part of a paid cloud API service. After integrating it, I was amazed (horrified?) to find that the whole library had been implemented without class prefixes. There were multiple collisions with Swift classes in my project.

Surprisingly the app still compiled, but tried to use the library class definitions instead of my own. I didn't end up using the library, or continuing with the API service.
I wouldn't say the Python solution is more complicated (complex, maybe), it's quite elegant and it essentially boils down to just pre-setting the first argument to the class instance or class value.

You can do it yourself:

>> def x(*args): print(args)

>> new_func = a.__get__('silly sausage')

>> new_func()

('silly sausage',)

When you do instance.method() Python will look up 'method' inside 'instance'. If 'method' is a descriptor (with functions are), then `__get__` is called and the first argument is set to 'instance'

Here are the docs if anyone is interested: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html

"Good schools" has been code for non-integrated schools for a very long time in this country. It might be true it doesn't mean that in the Bay Area, it doesn't mean that in my specific neighborhood either, but pretending like the comment is "injecting" race into the discussion ignores American history.
To my knowledge NZ and USA are two countries that will try to tax you wherever you live until you die unless you renounce citizenship. So dealing with being double taxed on income from NZ and USA was a big deal as well.

So, New Zealand does not tax their citizens abroad wherever they live. They do tax their residents abroad wherever they live. New Zealand has an extremely broad definition of resident - anyone with a permanent place of abode (read: permanent home) in New Zealand regardless of how long they have been out of the country.

The US and New Zealand do have a tax treaty which ought to settle any issues of double taxation.

The other commonwealth countries (such as Canada) have similarly broad or vague wording in order to catch as many tax payers as possible. The US is large enough that all the weird situations which can happen, will happen and on a regular basis so the rules tend to be much more black and white.

been seeing Apple Maps marked vans with Lidar units in SF and East Bay for months. Presumably theyre done building the base map.
Unless javascript removes alternate meanings of `this`, which will never happen, it does not have a language-level solution. In fact, I think it's easily as reasonable a solution as lambdas. I may be biased because I think ES6 is a hot mess, but the lack of `this` binding of lambdas is a serious misstep IMO.

If anything, ES6 lambdas add yet another way of interpreting `this` because while it is a function, it's not functionally scoped. Even better, a lambda is a function but `call` and `apply` are interpreted differently [1] since `this` is not bound. If you ever need to use `call` or `apply`, you'll have to know exactly how the called code is implemented to avoid bugs.

There was an article here yesterday saying that someone got kicked out of a 1st class seat on United plane(after already being seated) because they had to use a different plane that had fewer 1st class seats than the original plane planned for that flight - so after seating him, they kicked him out for a "higher priority" passenger.
You're making a false comparison.

The majority of UK residents don't need to file a tax return. The correct tax/national insurance/student loan deductions are withheld from their paycheques, and in case of problems, a phone call will normally sort them out.

Some people need to file returns. (Those that don't need to can also choose to.) Those people that do can file on paper, though the Government website, or using third party software. There's around 30 listed software providers for personal tax.

The fact most people have never seen a tax return in their lives hasn't prevented competition for tools in the more complex cases.

Given a hacker collective of sufficient size, know-how, resources and time, perhaps. (Even though they might end up destroying half of civilization themselves in the process...)

Seriously, no. Aside from the fact that war is in essence a social problem that cannot solely be solved by technical means (see afarrell's earlier post), cyber warfare is an incredibly advanced area of conflict. What makes it so complex is not only the skill needed for the creation of the utilized malware itself, but also all the military intelligence that is needed to sabotage specific physical targets. (I am presuming here that anybody wanting to stop WW3 would have to knock out command posts, communication lines, missile launchers and other weapon systems, etc.)

The classic example is, of course, Stuxnet, the first "supervirus" ever found. Discovered in 2010, it was aimed at the Iranian nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz. The Symantec people who analysed it estimate that development time would have been approx. half a year and would have required a full mockup of the Natanz target for testing purposes. Obviously, Iran doesn't make the design plans of their nuclear facilities public, so extensive espionage work must have been carried out beforehand. On a side note, Stuxnet also exploited four separate Windows Zero-Days. (For more details, see the official report at http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/media/secur...)

My point is: attacking physical targets with computer-based attacks requires a lot of forethought, know-how and intelligence - on a scale that only large nation states are able to furnish. And don't forget, to prevent WW3, it isn't enough to just take down a few targets. You need to make sure that every last one of those nuclear subs keeps its missiles in check...
