I recently changed jobs, and feared my old employer could (but not necessarily would) come after me for non-compete. So, first my new Employer's lawyer looked over everything and said I should be good. Then I hired my own lawyer, to do the same thing (and look over the new employers docs as well) just to cover myself independently. And finally I got in writing that my new employer would cover any legal action pursued by my old employer, just in case.

I would highly recommend the same to anyone else. Absolutely worth the time and money to be safe and covered if you still live / work somewhere they are enforceable.

So is there a use for car taxes at all? We could always just tax the rich directly, if we don't care about tying the tax amount to road usage.

Yeah - I was talking about Edinburgh where I lived in the centre for 30+ years. In some areas where there are only buildings on one side of the road the density of residents parking is actually fine - though I appreciate that most areas aren't like this.

It sounds like the crux of the issue is connectivity is now fast, reliable, and cheap. Employees don't need to waste time commuting anymore, so they don't.

Now spare a thought for those of us sweating in the digital wasteland that is Australia.

Every so often I have to walk over to my fridge and nudge my 4G modem to improve the signal strength. I have a script running 'round the clock to reset the darn thing if the connection drops completely (this somehow it fixes it). I need the 4G connection because the copper wire to my house is so broken it can no longer support an ADSL signal.

Fibre is apparently coming in like... 2019? It is expected to run at a maximum of 25Mbps.

Needless to say, remote work is not exactly on the cards.

On the same grounds that states like California outlaw such agreements?

In reality, though, they would probably not take such a case and simply let the lower court's ruling stand.
> removing perceived "warts"

Unfortunately a lot of people look at large projects full of difficult to understand, ugly, inelegant code and see a pile of spaghetti and warts that is hard to maintain. In many cases - especially mature projects that are widely used - the warts and inelegance are bugfixes, the piles of spaghetti are the compromises needed in complex interdependent systems and the workarounds/patches that handle the messy problems of real life.

As Joel Spolsky famously explained[1], a lot of those "warts" are the most valuable part of the software. They represent an incredible amount of programmer time and effort. Throwing them out and starting over sounds nice because the clean, elegant replacement is solving a far simpler problem. The replacement is usually missing features and bugfixes. When you finally update the new version to be an actual full-featured, bug tested and fixed replacement, you've probably re-added most of the messy "warts".

To me, this answers the question "How well can neural networks crack sudoku if we forget all of our domain knowledge, and just try to brute force our way through with insufficient training data and a neural network that's poorly sized?".

I suggest an alternate approach that would use a training set consisting of real-world data of sudoku puzzles that are in the process of being solved: before a box is filled in, and then after it's filled in. This would teach the network to solve the puzzle one step at a time, instead of all at once.

If you insist on only using the as-received puzzle and the solution for training, my intuition is that you'll need more layers than 10 in the NN, and much much more data.

A taxonomy of what complex solving strategies need to be learned already exists: see e.g. http://www.sudokuwiki.org/y_wing_strategy and the categories "basic", "tough", diabolical", and "extreme". My guess is that the NN (using the original author's strategy, but with more layers and lots more data) will eventually do well on "basic" and "tough", but will start to miss on some of the latter conditions depending on the training set and how the network is set up.

I know that USAA offers TOTP 2FA. Not sure about calling though.
If you ask anyone inside IBM or Yahoo, going from remote to in-office was all about significantly reducing the headcount. The moves also coincided with reducing the number of sites, so many people would have to move far away or resign.

I think the benefits of working remotely are still poorly understood, and long-term the companies that are being built remote-first are going to have a significant engineering advantage over those that bolt remote working on after the fact.
As a beginner, stuff like this is more overwhelming than useful. It would be more valuable if it instead clustered resources by what to start with, and maybe a timeline (i.e. "Week one, read these 10 articles"). It's just grouped by topic, rather than "what to read first."

Yes, the anonymity (most) users enjoy on Reddit is interpreted by some as freedom to be assholes or trolls. Even then, especially in the more heavily moderated or off-the-beaten-path subreddits, you get some very high quality conversations. It's not uncommon to see threads of multi-paragraph comments going back and forth many comments deep. I think Facebook's lack of anonymity already goes a long way toward keeping things civil there, and what little shitposting does happen there would probably get downvoted and possibly hidden by default when below a certain threshold if FB had that capability.

Those using IE6 also thought it was the best for a long time. Only because developers adhered to it's quirks, though, so stuff worked there (and not in "better browsers"). In the same way people accommodate Safari today, otherwise you would have felt left out a long time ago.

Way deep in the thread here but is this being down-voted because of the comparison of tech employees to enlisted? If so, cool.

But - if it's downvoted for the allowance part, somebody is sending checks... eventually. I totally got the OP's intention with the phrase - well taken - but for folks that are interested:

> Meaning you make concessions to either where you live or where you work. Isn't that a sign that it's not completely your choice?

Well yes, I mean there are many things about my job and my life that aren't completely my choice if by that we mean I have to make prioritization decisions and tradeoffs. Not being forced to work from any specific location eliminates one of the constraints, sure.

The point was more about the idea that commute time should be compensated for those whose employers to require them to come to an office. That's not obvious to me. Suppose, for example, I chose to live 2 hours away from my office. Should I be compensated for the 4 hours per day I spend commuting?
That's the first step on a bad road.

Step 1: Reward volunteer donors with cash, healthcare

Step 2: Reward 'volunteer' donors with welfare, housing

Step 3: Reward 'volunteer' donors with reduced criminal penalties

Step 4: Reward 'volunteer' donors with reduced prison sentences

Step 5: Make donation a compulsory sentencing option

Step 6: Compel criminals to donate both kidneys

Now you're China.
Exactly. I had genuinely considered working there. Cancel that idea.
It's interesting that the article doesn't delve into non-Asian martial arts like Krav Maga, which, in my limited experience, offers an extremely reductionist 'does it work' mentality.

Interesting also that the gold standard of the article is 'in the ring'. I would have thought messy 'real world' combat is gold standard (but obviously less reproducible, from the science perspective). Additionally, multiple opponents.

I'm a freelancer who works at home, but I bought my own monitor a long time ago. As well as the chair, keyboard, and other peripherals I wanted.

Actually I got the monitor during a time I was an employee. But I knew that such gigs don't last forever and I sure didn't want to cope with packing it up and sending it back.

I can publish an app, and then I can make the world better for other people. The comment I replied to was focused on one user's experience, so I answered it similarly. Look at email clients - Apple ships one, but the market suggested that people wanted alternatives, and we have them. The world was made better for everybody.
If commute time was paid you'd be incentivizing people to live further from work.

The onus is on the employee to optimizing getting to point X by time Y. Whether that means living closer or leaving earlier, they make that call.
It was never more than one guy's idle experiment.
No it isn't. One of the most important traits a car can have for highway driving in the US is quick acceleration for safe onramping and lane changes. I drove a friend's Leaf for about a week back in January, and I can comfortably say it performed worse in this regard than my previous car, a 2004 Honda Civic, which only had 117 hp.

it seems #freemarket is putting externalities (security) on the customer.

More like corporatist government regulations are putting the burden on the customer.
Well if your goal here is to make sure people continue to waste 2 hours of their day on commuting then look no further than making that time paid.

It's a perverse incentive for the whole destructive car lifestyle that has you sitting utterly depressed in some metal death box surrounded by millions of your peers in more death boxes as you slowly trample through cities (picking up a few of the locals on the way and leaving them dead by the roadside) to your job.
So they'll have 3-4 hills left standing.

I think about every European capital is (way) below 200m of elevation, so are most of the major cities.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_elevation

Looks like outside of Warsaw and Athens European capitals would become the shooting site for the bob sponge squarepants life action franchise if the sea levels rise by anywhere close to 200ft.

Water would seek the lowest point, even if you have natural barriers, with a groundwater table of that height would find a way in, in Miami you already have sea water coming out of the pavement because the water table has risen to above street level of many places.

This is effectively what already is happening in the Netherlands (nothing to do with global warming specifically since it's been the case since the ice age, but rising sea levels aren't making it any better) where the water table is higher than the elevation of many regions and you have to pump out the water back into the ocean constantly.

Remote or not, it can be very difficult to get things done when you're waiting on input (or output) from a co-worker who's not on the same schedule as the rest of the team.

There are some tasks where you can work on blocks of time at any an hour of the day, but there are also tasks and time you need to be available (whether it's voice, chat, video) and responsive.
As a remote developer myself. I still value having an office.

I think being remote with an office setup is the best you can get. I can go in at any time I want, and still have the nice environment to work from of.

Being remote doesn't necessarily mean no offices.
Good point. They could have projected only the shadows before noon, or separate morning/afternoon shadows with a toggle.

We didn't switch to allowing remote work but started remote and always been remote. We had an office space at Pier 38 that was closed by the city in 2011[1], so had to scramble to find space. At that time we thought we would expand more in Bay Area and found a good deal that also could support other employees visiting the Bay Area. For example, in 2013 we held our whole company meetup, but have outgrown it. The main US WordCamp used to be held in SF but now as cost goes up we are moving them around last two in Philly, next in Nashville so another use of the space wasn't needed.

We found it easier to grow and expand all over the world and didn't grow as much in the Bay Area as thought. Currently only 20-30 people of our 550+ live in Bay Area

Thanks, that explanation is helpful. In the future when I discuss about socialism with US people, I'll take into account the likeliness that they're attacking a boogeyman, and that a precise definition of the term will be needed to advance the discussion.
Laptop use and poor posture go hand in hand. An external keyboard can also work as it allows you to move the laptop display to a better position, but if you're going to do that you might as well go all the way and get a decent monitor too.

This article talks a lot about what is effective versus what is not. It's worth pointing out that there are lots of reasons to train a martial art that have little to do with street effectiveness. Having done judo, a more traditional jujitsu, and now having settled into a comfortable 6-10 hours of aikido training a week, I can honestly say that street effectiveness is way, way down on the list of things that I get out of training.

In terms of practical skills, the only thing I think is immediately useful is the ability to fall safely. Maybe, some day I'll be attacked and my attacker won't be dissuaded by gifts of my wallet and cell phone... or me violently and intentionally soiling myself. Until that day, I'm rather uninterested in combat. For me the amazing interval training workout plus the zen-like concentration required to make any of these ludicrously subtle techniques actually do what they say on the tin is more than enough. Plus the people are nice.

Random drunk throw a haymaker at me? I'm probably better prepared than the average Joe, but then again I've never had this happen and don't anticipate it happening. Hand-to-hand combat with a trained adversary on the street? Ain't happening.
The youtube of "NVidia GTC 2017 conference" is worth a look.
Do you think telling a potential employer that you've signed a non-compete could hurt your chances though?
I don't get the point. It's quite reasonable to treat a pervasive, small risk differently from a rare, large risk. You're far more likely to die from sunlight than from botulism, but we treat the latter far more carefully. That's only to be expected, since the risk from exposure is far higher for botulism.

What I'm pointing out is different behavior when dealing with substances that have similar risks. If I had a basement, I'd much prefer to have naturally occurring radon in it than either high-level nuclear waste or toxic chemical waste, if somehow that was my choice.
A constant time solution in years or eons isn't very helpful. There are around 6.7e21 complete sudoku boards if you want to brute force enumerate them.

That's a different situation, isn't it?

I mean, it depends on the specifics, but if you have someone who'll never reach even the intelligence of a cat... It's hard to justify their life on ethical grounds, when effectively "they" don't exist. Maybe that wasn't the situation you had in mind.
That's Marxism, and that definition is over 100 years old. Politics has moved on. Modern socialism is simply a larger central government providing more public services than a typical conservative government.

It's also worth noting that Marx included things like national infrastructure in his definition of "means of production", and I haven't noticed that many privately owned roads in the USA... Maybe you're not quite as far from socialism as you'd like to believe.

>So what? Everything in life is a gamble and involves risk. You need to learn how to live with it.

Indeed, it's all about risk-management and in that regard gambling on debt represents a way higher risk, one I would not take, than gambling on savings you actually own.

With the latter, you at least have some control over the worst case scenario, while gambling on debt throws any control like that straight out of the window as debt can spiral out of control very quickly that way.

> The interest is often also tax deductible. It sure as hell makes more sense taking on debt for investing than it does taking on debt to (excessively) spend (as most Americans do).

Sure, it does make more sense but consumer credits are mostly short-term and as such somewhat more manageable for debtors with no real income security. Long-term investment credits, which usually have way better interest rates, are simply out of reach for many of these people because they lack the secure long-term income and/or can't make the required deposit.

Agreed, the subsidies that these industries receive distort the market. The question is whether the the electric car industry will follow in their footsteps in successfully defending their subsidies, or whether the subsidies will be rolled back.
In theory I agree. In practice, has anyone seen anyone work farther from work on purpose to pad their pay?

I suspect if commute time was indistinguishable from work time as far as pay goes, employers would still want to encourage employees to live closer to work in various ways.
Too early for a Bootstrap 4 course? Screw it, here's one (free, YouTube too)
This is exactly correct. From its terrible work culture and now this, it seems like legal action is only a way of intimidating present employees to toe the line or else face expensive legal action. They most certainly don't want to risk losing the opportunity to have a non compete at all (because right now they DO have that option and have absolutely no regulations on it).
That's the exactly same problem, with the exactly same failure modes and consequences on failure.

It's also solved the exact same ways, by scripting your stuff on one level or another.

I don't understand. Do you mean, the remote also has a reflog? It sure does, it's local to the repository!

But entries recorded in my reflog are not pushed to or fetched from any remote I interact with. Instead, their reflog is updated when I push (to record that my commits were accepted & their branches/tags changed), and my reflog is updated when I fetch (to record that their commits were accepted & my branches/tags changed).
