I recommend you read up the definition of 'certification '. A certification is not mandatory. You're free to operate and offer your services in the market without it. What you're describing is a license, which is required by law to have. It's not voluntary. This is an incredibly important distinction that you're completely ignoring.

You're calling my ideas "corrosive and dangerous" and claiming I have a "false ideology" and yet you don't understand the essence of my point or the arguments I'm raising (e.g. you fail to grasp the distinction between a voluntary certification and a mandate license, which is at the heart of my argument).

The interesting thing about those (Z series Atom, right?) is they're 64 bit capable, but have a 32 bit UEFI environment.
You forgot nVidia's Denver, that actually performed quite well. Agree on the Mill though.
How is that relevant ?
I didn't have too much trouble last year at 41. Took a couple months to get any traction at all, but then suddenly got a few interviews and eventually some offers all in quick succession. Maybe I was lucky though. After reading this story I'm definitely more inclined to stick with the position I have rather than to try to go out on my own again.

Another talking point: the trend of waiting until late 30's to have kids greatly compounds this problem.
I wonder if it's feasible to put a pipeline under the ocean between North America and Europe. It seems crazy, but a lot of crazy stuff has happened.

Banning cars and banning new housing have precisely the same motivation: to protect and increase quality of life for existing urban residents at the expense of everyone else.

The kind of city council that imposes height limits and lot coverage maximums (tall apartment buildings and their residents are considered noise, shadow, and cultural pollution) is the most likely to ban cars.
It's the whole record that's why it's 2h. If you have Spotify you can listen to them piecemeal. I recommend Tri Repetae. It's my favorite record of them. It's not for everyone, and it's definitely not dance music. To me, they managed to make music that is a strange and poignant mixture of the cold and robotic and warm and human. It's electronic music at its best, something that can't really be achieved in other genres.

The problem is they will pop, and then come back. They are like a resilient strain of disease. Each time people lose faith in them they develop new ideas and arguments for why they are the future. They aren't the future, they are deeply flawed ponzi-schemes, this is obvious. But we better find out what the future is before they start converting the gullible masses to a currency that is less secure in many ways that is swept under the rug. People are getting hurt by being swept up in cryptocurrency mania; and its not going to end anytime soon. There is talk of China developing new digital currencies(or adopting bitcoin) for stronger population control. There are innovative things happening here, its not all bad, but some of it is clearly evil.

re: "it frames it like this is about the laborer having emotional discipline"

I thought "emotional" had more to do with the person being helped? They may be going through some kind of crisis (having one of the worst days of their lives). Helping them isn't just an obstacle to doing the job; in medical or teaching professions, it often is the job. That's why it's different from another job that might be equally or more physically demanding, but it's just hard work.

Maybe we could distinguish this from jobs serving the public where ordinary, able-bodied adult customers are being demanding for no good reason. But then again, they are probably serving the young, old, sick, etc. some of the time too. That's what serving the public means; you get all kinds.
Everyone knows the Model 3 is coming, so the price of the stock already incorporates whatever the expectations for the Model 3's sales currently are. If Model 3 sales fall short of those expectations, the stock price will drop.
> I'm guessing over $200B of Amazon's $475B valuation is from AWS and Amazon's subsidiaries. They have [small] stakes in some companies too. To be fair, the subsidiaries are peanuts^ (let's be generous and give them a combined value of $10B).

I just believe (rightly or wrongly) that Amazon's customers are more price sensitive that is commonly believed and the merry-go-round of constant reinvestment isn't going to be something that can be stopped for that reason. I always thought Amazon was fairly valued around $300-400/share and pretty much dumped all my stock in Amazon accordingly.

Maybe I'm wrong but I have a suspicion I'm not.

Look at Alphabet's financials vs. Googles and I think you'll find one of these seems just a much more reasonable valuation than the other at ~$1000/share.
Agree, I'm ok listing companies I own (see above), but how many shares and how much value is nobody's business.

If you suddenly removed the top of a large container of LNG, it wouldn't all instantly vaporise. It would start to boil, rapidly cooling its surroundings due to the latent heat of vaporisation. Large amounts of ice would form on the outside of the container, and pretty soon the boiling rate would drop off substantially as the rate of heat transfer from the now frigid surroundings reduced.

If the vaporising gas was ignited, some of the heat from that combustion would certainly be transmitted to the pool of cold, liquid gas by radiation which would increase the vaporisation rate. The net result would still be a release of energy into the surroundings over probably tens of minutes (as opposed to microseconds in the case of a nuclear bomb).
Denver is not a VLIW; it's 7-way superscalar [1]. Haswell is 8-way. Wide superscalar is really common and has a lot of the advantages of VLIW without the impossible compiler headaches.

And the VLIW has to compete against that. There's only one place where VLIW has shown to have a survivable advantage and that's embedded.
> Jobs at major airlines are high paying because of the high cost of time, effort, and dollars necessary to procure the skills necessary for the job.

An ATP license for a major airline is no different than an ATP license for Bob's Discount Airlines, so the costs of obtaining either one are the same. Airlines (or in the US, their unions, who usually govern this) generally promote on seniority, which does relate to the number of hours flown, but considering it's the hours that are flown on the job, it's airline's investment at that point.

In reality, though, jobs at major airlines pay well for senior pilots because the unions for major airlines are run by senior pilots, who see no problem in negotiating a payscale with significant income inequality between junior and senior levels. I'd urge you to read Philip Greenspun's "Unions and Airlines" to understand the way the industry is structured in the US http://philip.greenspun.com/flying/unions-and-airlines

> The major airlines are paying high wages to attract the best, most experienced pilots in the world.

If they were, senior pilots from United would be jumping ship for better compensation packages with Delta, and then American would have to raise the stakes to attract the best and the brightest. But a senior pilot at United will have to restart as a junior pilot with Delta, all that "high cost of time, effort, and dollars necessary to procure the skills" be damned.
Bought me some $AMD at $10.20 (got lucky). Let's see what happens.
Please explain how is that so?
What has usually happened in practice is that people seize the offensive flag and shred or burn it. Look Thomas, carrying a Nazi battle flag or a deliberate derivative of it isn't just a matter of 'creating strong emotions' in the sense of some proxy moral outrage. In certain contexts, it's an act of aggression.

Legally speaking this may not rise to the standard of criminality for evaluating criminal threats. But a lot of people are increasingly losing confidence in the legal system to protect their civil rights or fairly balance their interests with those of other people in society. In relation to both this and your exhortation to call 911, it's worth referencing the recent controversy over the acquittal of the police officer in the death of Philando Castile. However you feel about the legal aspects of that verdict, there's no getting away from the fact that many people of color and other groups do not feel safe around police officers.

You keep saying of course we must use available within-the-law means to suppress Nazism, but that presupposes the law is morally neutral (highly questionable), fairly enforced (likewise), and that this job should really be left to law enforcement and prosecutors rather than being the subject of any kind of private or collective action. I suggest to you that that's an easy attitude to have when you are not a member of a vulnerable population, but a potentially fatal error of judgment for someone in a more marginal position.
When I've brought this up it's pretty obvious that while their were historical reasons behind it, not it because of cargo cult ideas of how numeric variables should work.

In any higher level language the default numeric variable should be an algebraic decimal float, not a binary int or float. Doesn't mean ints and floats shouldn't exist, but they shouldn't be the default.

Meaning when a programmer writes

number x = 2/3;

number should equal 2/3. Not an approximation of 2/3.

You're pretty wrong here. Critics panes color movies, consumers like them. This is the inverse of that.

I know a guy that has made quite a successful software business out of abandonware. Find some business that's using software that has been abandoned. Original authors went out of business, etc. Maybe the users are still keeping MS-DOS or Windows NT computers around because it won't run on anything newer. This is not as uncommon as you might think.

Talk to the users, try to find out how many others are also using it. Rewrite it in modern technology, sell it back to all the current users (and ideally, also sell to others in the same line of business who might need it).
I claim it can be +EV even when it's a punt. Suppose you make 3x on your first bet, as I did - and it's a long story why i settled for such a poor return ;) - you can then "invest" 2/3 of your winnings, and even if it all goes to nothing then you've still broken even.

But in the current climate a 0% return seems, at least for now, unlikely....

Harsh and an obvious problem for those over 40 and industry in general, but is this simply the natural result of companies optimizing for maximum productivity at the lowest possible cost to them?

Many 40+ year olds have families or other life obligations outside of work, and thus they may not be as willing to put in absurd hours that a young employee could be squeezed for. The older employee also might be more likely to take weekends off, and want to use vacation time.

Additionally, someone over 40 is supposed to be in or near their peak earning years, which lasts ten to twenty more years (or did historically anyway) so their expenditure is going to be significantly more than someone with a few years of experience.

I realize it's one of the lamest analogies possible, but for many companies, employees are quite literally a cog in a larger machine, and so they want the cheapest possible cog at a reasonable quality level that works the longest before breaking down (quitting, getting fired, burning out, etc).

To fight this, I'd bet those over 40 would have to aim to get into important management and executive positions, which are less likely to be swapped out for less experienced, less demanding, and cheaper labor.
I've been actively searching the last few months and my resume is getting rejected on sight despite many years of experience doing exactly what the requirement states. I honestly don't know if it's agism, their expectation that I'll demand more salary or It's just written poorly.

I think that's what they were referring to by saying

"In lieu of the current situation, is it not advisable to simply not give the date of graduation and only provide the previous 5-10 years of work experience on resume?"

It seems like the point is you might be better off not listing university years or more than 5 years of experience, so your age cannot be inferred before they talk to you. Of course, 90% of people will have social media accounts that will make this useless if the employer tries hard enough.

The next recession will not be caused by a loss of faith in cryptocurrencies, so probably. But the exchange rates will slip just as much as everything else in said recession because recessions are highlighted by a near uniform withdraw of capital from investment.

On the flipside, btc usually goes up when gold goes up, and gold goes up in recessions. They might bounce back as an alternative store of value not dependent on the general economies functioning.
So, age discrimination is not tech specific, but unlike other industries, tech workers change jobs much more often and that creates the illusion that the problem is more tech industry related.
They absolutely miss many big deals. Think of it this way, there are several dozen well-known Series A firms like Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Google Ventures, etc. But for any single company like Airbnb or Uber, only one or two or maybe three of those dozens of firms gets to invest. That means for any given unicorn, 90% of the good firms missed it, and probably 99% of all legitimate Series A firms. Sometimes that's because rounds are competitive and a company might have 5 term sheets but can only take one, but that is the exception and not the rule.

VC is an interesting business model because you don't have to get all of the good investments, you just need one or two per fund.

I agree, but all too often composable queries are for people that don't know who their users are or what the want. If you build workflow centric UI's then the need for composable queries generally goes away.
I have basically the opposite perspective: that in a time like this, when the executive branch of the country is controlled by someone who aspires to be an American Duterte, the rule of law and our institutions have never mattered more. To abandon them now is to lose entirely.

There was a great post by https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=maxxxxx about why the ruling class of the United States views copyright the way they do:

Copyright and IP (and probably real estate) are pretty much the only way for capitalists to make money the more things like internet, 3D printing, AI, robotics and so on are available to the masses. To me it's the only way to keep the current power structures intact so for a lot of powerful people copyright laws are probably the most important laws. They don't need the state for personal protection (they can pay for security guards instead of police) but they need the state for protecting their livelihood.

It is pretty ironic and sad that following a healthy diet, including CR, is much harder in Western nations and esp in the US.

- Processed food costs less than fresh food.
- Multiple generations of people have been conditioned to eat processed and junk food.
- People believe in the myth that 'cooking takes too long'
- People are lazy and don't want to spend any time on cooking/food even when living a life of luxury compared to the rest of the world.

All of which is the opposite of most developing countries. US and UK are very close in this respect. Even many European countries value shopping for and eating fresh food much more.

CR, and eating in general should be about buying nutrient dense but low caloric foods - which is a mostly plant based diet of fresh food. The exact kind of food which is artificially expensive and considered a 'fad'.

We have "speculative vendor financing" - normally in the form of OTC stocks, i.e. pink sheets. This seems like an even less regulated way of trading pink sheets, except funded by a bunch of software people with a lot of disposable income instead of some mob guys in a boiler room in New Jersey.
Love pencil and started looking to contribute late last year. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to build properly on MacOS. As a result I couldn't get anything to run, and with practically no documentation at the time I eventually moved on. Hopefully the situation has improved over the year.

Mostly agree - but even with a screen displaying 2D, how is different. I get the whole "your eyes can only see n number of pixels" what in the world difference does that make? You can't see individual bits of matter photons are reflected off of, but the collection of mater that builds up that "image" to your eye.

Sure the increase in resolution is "imperceptible" in terms of individual elements building up a particular frame, but to assume a visual cortex can't discern increased detail is just arrogant and borderline laughable
> On the flipside, btc usually goes up when gold goes up, and gold goes up in recessions.

That's why I think a recession will be the defining time for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Do they become more valuable in rocky economic times, like gold? Or do they plummet like any other speculative asset or high flying stock? The answer might depend on the severity of the recession and any associated turmoil.
If there's anyone qualified to write about the crypto bubble, it's surely a guy called Popper.
