Well, some quintics are solvable, aren't they? (like x^5-1=0). Maybe for each particular quintic there is a different formula that solves it. You just prove that there's no formula that works in all cases when you plug the coefficients at the same place.

It would be more satisfying (and more general) to exhibit a specific unsolvable quintic.
As someone who has never lived in the US I'm curious as to why there's so little debate about moving towards a single payer or universal system. It seems that the only option ever on the table is tweaking the current system.
Why is the term "blacklist" so offensive to you? It has a history of over 400 years.

I have, in the past, been put on a blacklist without my knowledge. I only found out about being on the list a couple of years later. When I did find out, I realised what it was that put me on that list and that there was no point trying to get off that list. In the end, it didn't matter, life moves on.

The number of blacklists that exist in the US is huge and many will have no idea that they are on them or will ever find out why they are on them.
> I asked for links in the schools accreditation sites, not in ABET's site. I can give you links that FIRE "certified" a school as having FREE speech. That doesn't mean the school cares. It means FIRE cares.

Schools pay money for ABET accreditation, implying that they do care about it. Some schools advertise ABET on their site, some don't, since many of those school sites end up redesigned every few years, it is nice to have a single site that lists all accredited schools.

People buying 7 cent chips off Aliexpress and similar know full well that it ain't coming from TI and usually isn't labelled as such - it might be called an NE555 but make no mention of manufacturer and not have one labeled on the chip itself. Obviously finding a datasheet from a different manufacturer won't be applicable...

If you're buying those you're most likely using it for an application that isn't pushing its limits - they're great for experimenting with as a hobbyist or cranking your design to the lowest price possible if you're not on those limits.

>Face it, Europeans traded the slaves, but the ones doing the enslaving were the Africans themselves that have been doing it for at least 2000 years now. I know, facts hurt your feelings when all you care is to play the SJW... though life.

As I've explained, Western Africa had slaves before the Europeans came in, but the scale and treatment was completely different. The Wikipedia article you keep linking says they had a spot at their master's table and sometimes more wives than the master.

The creation of a large market for slaves changed things, and yes is still part of the reason it still goes on. A lot of people became entrenched in that field, and without a ton of better options are still in it only 130 years later. There are other causes, war in the Sudan and a lack of collateral for debt, but it's not some inate preference to slavery on Africa.

Calling me a SJW for refusing to eat the nineteenth century European propaganda makes it really hard to take you seriously.

>Let me guess, Portuguese and Spanish getting rid of the people oppressing and ENSLAVING them for centuries hurts your SJW feelings, cause Portuguese and Spanish are mostly white and as such they deserved to suffer?

Funny how there were still so many Jews and Christians in An-Andalus that they needed saving from their terrible captors, and that one of the first acts the Crusaders did was to murder the Christian Bishop of Lisbon. BTW, trying to justify the Crusades is another sign you're eating the nineteenth century propaganda bullshit. The bullshit that led to Estado Nova and Portugal continuing to show only love for Africa.

>BTW: "Historian John L. Vogt estimates that 10% of Lisbon’s population was black (BOTH ENSLAVED AND FREE) during the sixteenth century." It comes directly from the ARTICLE you so much love and defend, but I can't even expect you to be able to have that level of reading comprehension.

Wikipedia has a similar claim, dropping the "enslaved and free" part. All of the references are in books I can't access, nice dodge out of proving your nonsense again though.

When I read this article I wondered, why would they knock them off and then sell branded goods at the rock bottom generic price? Then I clicked through a few more articles and it seems that the answer is so an integrator can "cost-optimize" your board and profit the difference between genuine and fake components, while you are none the wiser.
Wait what? Your math is completely off. The 3% drop in administrative costs is not directly deductible from the 6% growth because that 3% drop would mean the growth would also be lower (since it's a %age of the total costs).

What you did wrong is exactly what so many do wrong: Your market worth is defined by your market worth, not by how much effort you put in.

Go out on the market. Update your resume, try to get an offer. Be ready to accept it. Negotiate with your manager and show them empirical evidence you're worth more.

The reason you have to be willing to accept the other offer is that the moment you approach your manager with it, they might decide to replace you rather than promote you. But counterintuitively, your willingness to accept the other offer will work in your favor and is more likely to get you promoted than replaced.

Do not under any circumstances assume that loyalty to your job will be rewarded in any way. The fact that your manager was willing to let you work 70 hour weeks for a year is evidence you were being taken advantage of. That's life, though. The way to win is to play the game.

(There are situations where letting an employee work 50+ hour weeks is justifiable, e.g. if the employee goes into it with eyes wide open and without any implicit promises of future promotion or future compensation increases. Quarterly reviews with salary increases would also take it out of the "being taken advantage of" category.)

As a final note, it's very common for employees to force themselves to work crazy hours without any encouragement from management. It's not necessarily management's job to stop you from doing that, though a good manager will. I did this to myself my first couple of jobs, and had only myself to blame. I'm not saying you necessarily were doing that, but it's such a common story for someone to come into the industry with something to prove and convince themselves to dedicate their life to their job to the exclusion of all else.

Go home each day after putting in 8 hours. The door's right there. If you work harder than that, you should feel like you're getting an excellent deal out of it. And no, promoting you doesn't automatically count as an excellent deal. You should still probably work 8 hours outside of very special situations.

EDIT: If you're feeling upset that you got taken advantage of, don't sweat it. A year isn't such a big deal in the scheme of things. You're far more equipped now for your upcoming years than one year ago, for example.
Well I mean being unable to afford to get your broken ankle re-set when it heals weird the first or spending a life in chronic pain or never getting treatment for sleep apnea etc... all seem like good ways to make obesity grow as a result of in ability to pay for medical care and a good way to eventually find your way to being on disability, poor and in poor health and then on medicaid/medicare.

So you know maybe it's a vicious fucking cycle.

Oh wait actually we know for a damn fact it is and has nothing to do with obesity: preventative care just keeps shit way cheaper that's half the point of the ACA forcing insurance companies to cover at least some of it (the other half being a basic belief in human dignity).
Maybe try to raise the visibility of what you're working on? Did you ask where he felt you could work on?

Jun 2016: US spends $100 on health care ($7 on administration)
Dec 2016: US spends $103 on health care ($7.21 on administration)
Jun 2017: US spends $106 on health care ($7.42 on administration)
--> US administration costs drops from 7% to 4%, saving $3.18
Now US spends ~$102.82 on health care

Does your contract actually stipulate 70 hours a week, or were you fairly compensated for your overtime? If no to either: why did you keep pulling 70 hours a week after the first week? Because if you worked at the same level as someone working 40 hours, with the only difference being you were willing to work 70 for no additional pay, then as an employee you're not worth more than someone working 40 hours a week. You may have actually cheated yourself out of a promotion or even raise simply by pretending working long hours for the same pay would be worth it in the long run.

If you use a cloud-based drive locally, it's reduced to the speed of your internet connection.

If you use a local copy, you have to set up something to sync it with the cloud version, or sync it manually.

Dropbox keeps a local copy for speed, and also syncs automatically. It's the best of both worlds.

It's also easy to use.

It also keeps a file version history.

There are quite some ways to optimize pandas usage for performance on bigger datasets.

But if the amount of data gets too big there is a library called dask that looks promising.
Although the author calls these designs "fake", they do perform the same functionality, but just simply don't meet the voltage tolerance and noise resistance levels of higher grade designs. So they're more of a "knock-off", "counterfeit", "imitation", or "derivative".
Like so many things that are broken in America, it's not one thing that's to blame - it's multiple:

People lives longer; more illness we can treat; growing administration; new expensive technology; few doctors; price gouging; anti-competitive behavior; malpractice lawsuits; lack of preventative care; uninsured bumping in and out of emergency rooms; and so on...

Some of these are successfully solved by most western countries. Some of them are quite plausibly not solvable.

As we have more technology and treatments to keep people alive, cost will necessarily go up.
You'll probably need to give us more context. It's dangerous to speculate without it. What was the value of the platform? How long have you been with the company? Have there been any incidents over the last year that would have created a negative impression of you in the mind of your manager (however justified or unjustified)? Are you an isolated case or is this a pattern at your organization? What is your communication channel with your manager like? One-on-one chats, email, text? How often?
That's a great article.

It looks like we spend a large amount more than every other country in every category they define, but the primary difference thing that makes the huge difference is we pay for specialists a lot more. Their conclusion is just that, well, the cost is higher.

Interesting but leaves a huge question as to why.
You won't like this answer, but as you point out, the solution is to get another job.

Broder experience should help, you'll begin to see patterns based on the different places you've worked and be better equipped to handle the problems you encounter.

The only jobs I've really regretted are those I stayed at too long. The last years seem like a waste of time, I could of provided more value, and got more useful experience elsewhere.

I think you misunderstood the article re. the number pad - it argues against number pads on laptops.

"Last laptop ever made with excellent keyboard design? (Lenovo Thinkpad T520, fr 2011)" - no numpad.

The IBM Model M keyboard is just raised as the prototypical desktop keyboard design, and the numpad there is commented as "Separate number pad possible on large keyboard without disturbing main keyboard" - which is hard to argue against.

Mouser is selling TI NE555DR for $0.07 in quantity, so I am sure that TI's actual sale price is lower.

So, I think someone paying $0.07 on aliexpress is paying "full price" for something less, even if they rationalize they are getting a discount because they are not buying large lots (Buy only 100 at mouser and the cost goes up to $0.15, but for instance Arrow has a lower price than that for this quantity)

Quit right now. Do you know anyone with technical skill and either organisational or political acumen who knows you have technical skill? Go do consulting with them. Go do consulting with someone. Quit and start applying for jobs like it's your full time job. Quit, work on that market for lemons upwork.com and blog about the problems you're solving. Quit, do a Udacity nanodegree and then work on their hiring platform, Udacity Blitz.

But definitely quit.
I’ve been in this situation. You should leave and get a pay raise that way. Next time when aiming for a promo remember that results alone won’t get you there. You have to fiercely and constantly beat your chest about your achievements, and “show leadership”, and once you become perceived as valuable, diplomatically let management know that you have much better gigs lined up. It sucks, and I wish it wasn’t this way, but that’s how it is.

That said, by far the most efficient way to progress in your career is to not let your employers take you for granted by changing jobs every 2 years or so unless things are seriously on fire.

Another bit of advice: do not work much more than 40 hours a week on a sustained basis. Over my 20 year career I have observed negative correlation between that and promotions.
After reading your comments I took a short look. And while doing that asked myself in the first example why the author didn't just use pandas own 'read_table' [1] method.

I have no idea what the problem is with respect to your not getting put up for promotion, but I certainly see a problem in your title.

Working x hours a week doesn't mean you should get promoted. Getting promoted has nothing to do with how hard you work but fulfilling the requirements for you to get promoted. If you want to get promoted, talk to your manager and figure out what you need to do to get promoted.

For example, at Google to get promoted you have to show that you are already performing at the level you want to be promoted to. The difference between different levels has nothing to do with how many hours or how hard you work, but with scope, so unless you're given a project that has an appropriate scope for the next level, you aren't going to be able to be promoted, and it's much easier to get things which help you fulfill those requirements if you talk to your manager.

In summary, talk to your manager and good luck.
Love reading all the "Code Like a Girl" stories. Start my morning off with them every workday morning :) Thank you for sharing and creating!
Lets say you worked 75 hrs a week? 5 days a week- So that comes to around 15 hrs a day. That is a lot. Even with 6 days that is 12 hrs a week. Never do that again. Unless you are working on your own venture or have somebody over you, a boss that has agreed to reward you in return before hand.

My guess is you work at a big corporate. Then Im sorry to break out the bad news to you. You managers knows too well that you are hard working and deliver results. But he likely has a political cartel going on, due to which it doesn't really matter how hard you work. In fact you can even do 120 hr work week and all you would be at the end is a useful work donkey on which he can dump all the work while he rewards his lackeys. Never ever ever, contribute good work to an unfair system.

And yes you got it right, your only option is to keep hopping jobs until you find the right manager. There is no known solution to this problem unless you wish to be as big a fraud and cheat as much as they are or bigger.

The only advice I can give to you is to not take this to your head. Spend your time being productive, useful and gaining skills as you spend time in this profession. These investment pay on the longer run.

But as far office politics itself is concerned. Alas there is no other solution. Unless you find a manager that can take care of you, or you are just enjoying an insane patch of luck. You just have to suffer through politics.

No known solution exists.

Most of the argument centers around one's belief in the competency of the government. If you think they can do things well, you will probably argue for a single health payer system, or maybe a German model. If you think they are incompetent, bought, fools, then you argue against a single payer system. Humorously both sides point to Medicare and Medicaid as evidence of their views.
It doesn't matter what you do, it's what you're seen to do. People that are good self promoters do well at this, and people that quietly get their work done, don't. I don't like this myself, and I'm not very good at it, but it is how it works. You know the type of people that are always telling their bosses what they have done (and usually taking credit for work that was done by the team), they are the ones that move up first. You'd think that bosses would see through this but they often don't.

I have read about 'making your manager look good' as a tactic for promotion, and that seems to make sense too, but I've never really tried it. This probably means not bringing up any bad news too.

This all may seem cynical, but I've seen it work for other people.
