no need. they compare California (high competition from private sector) with other states without such competition.

they could manipulate it to proove any point. with the same data I could say that with sunnier days lead to more employee attrition. any point that California differs from the other state can be blamed, after the author ignored the private sector salaries, and he chose to pick a competing state without salary transparency to make their point.

I did all that, and it was very stressful :)

Basically, all 4 options had variables that appealed to me, and there was no clear winner.

The fundamental issue was that my dream job doesn't appear to exist in London right now, the kinds of things I want to work on all seem to require moving to either SF or NY. So I was essentially having to work out which job would most progress my skillset and experience for 2-3 years from now.
I read both your posts and her series of blog posts which where interesting to follow along. It wasn't clear to the reader how it is that she got past the HR screening for Microsoft as a non-cs graduate. I'm starting to believe that maybe she made a good impression by doing that class under that MS engineer who then made her students interview with actual Microsoft employees?
Can you please elaborate? I don't think I've heard of this story, but when vaping started getting popular I wondered how the big tobacco companies would control the market. What do you mean by "several million in float per flavor"?
> but went nearly extinct after WWII

I mean that such taxes went extinct after WWII
The only way to fix this is to remove counties and count all votes equally by state then allow counties to vote local representation and then assign a percentage weight to that group per county.

Each vote is equal and ensures local representation.

The only difficult part would be moving away from one local rep equals one vote. In many cases it will be a percent so one rep could have 1.4 time that of a vote and some may have only .67 of a vote.
Remember that this is a state policy, so it's pretty easy to keep the wealth out of state and avoid the taxes. California already has the highest capital gains taxes in the US and 2nd-highest in the world, so such tax avoidance is extremely common. Coastline can't be moved or hidden, making it much harder to avoid the tax.
Yes, I'm not actually debating that. But the issue that I think the Court will need to freshly weigh in on is the fact that state law and federal law are in direct oposition to each other in many states now.

Now, of course the Supreme Court will come down and say federal government law supersedes state law, as the constitution specifies.

I'm no lawyer, but I do think there would be a nuanced way to argue that the states should have the freedom to self-regulate, as long as they don't distribute across borders. I know there is case law that has already said that the Feds have jurisdiction even in this case, but it still could be argued.

It's not difficult for me to imagine scenarios were certain employees may overvalue their worth, and take a great deal of offence to a perceived slight when viewing their colleague's remuneration.

I agree that people may overvalue their worth, but in that case, wouldn't they look for another job that pays them what they are worth? Either they will find the job and get paid their worth or they won't and realize that they are paid what they are worth.
why if your doing the same job you should be paid the same any thing less leads to indirect discrimination.
Everywhere other than the US, it's far more commonly known as paracetamol.

In much the same way that nobody calls aspirin "acetylsalicylic acid", paracetamol is the generic name, except in the US for some reason.
> people living in downtown Chicago

You can get to every significant Midwestern city on Amtrak from downtown Chicago. In fact, one of Amtrak's main weaknesses is that you often have to transfer through Chicago when it doesn't make geographic sense. That doesn't apply to Chicagoans. The Amtrak map is enlightening [0].

You can even do some train trips from downtown Chicago that make absolutely no sense in the era of flight (the rail tickets cost more than airfare and take 10x as long). I'd argue that anywhere you can't easily get on a train from Chicago is either too small to support rail service, or too far to be convenient by any mode except air.

There are a couple other places where people tend to live without cars, like the Bay Area. We already have good passenger rail service to Sacramento/Davis, and the SF/LA corridor is being developed.

>People own cars because they need them frequently for daily activities like commuting or errands

Correct, and when they already own cars, they already have easy access to inter-city travel (within distances that would be convenient by rail) via the interstates. Building HSR on these routes could provide a more convenient alternative, but the improvement is minor and incremental.

We need a massive investment in rail in this country, but we need it on urban and commuter systems. Inter-city travel already works almost as well as we could reasonably expect it to.

As long as your experimental design says you should. You don't have a scientific outcome until the trial is over, so stopping makes no sense on a scientific basis.

I had buddies who spent time in Diego Garcia, before I knew how it came to be a US base. I think it's horrible how it was aquired and we should immediately make moves towards reperations and departure, or at least agreement to payments for lease. I'm tired of my country increasingly acting like an empire of force when that goes against everything I was taught we should stand for. More than that though, is the inability to admit wrongdoing and learn from past mistakes, at least in public.

Recently the state department has been undergoing some upheaval due to the tumultous new POTUS. One was complaining to me about it and my response was they they should have gotten rid of the war-criminal Kissinger/Zbrenzski group a long time ago and they might have avoided some of this blowback. Too many DoS people essentially worship Kissinger as the inventor of American diplomacy. Hogwash I say. It's time for real leadership in the executive to take control of the state department and other agencies and reduce what I call Machiavellian realpolitik run amok.

Here is Kissingers comment on Diego Garcia. “There are only 90,000 people out there. Who gives a damn?”
To my knowledge, the current opinion (with no known proof) is that quantum computers can't efficiently solve NP-hard problems. So, the answer is (probably) "still hard," but I haven't the slightest how that would be formally described.
So it's an issue of the sovereignty of the islands then? The argument I'm hearing is that due to the UK leaning in favour of sovereignty, that it can no longer continue to, by default, control the islands? So allow the islands to hold a vote.

This seems like it was a vote held by other countries on whether or not they supported these islands not being allowed sovereignty even if they wanted it.
I don't know where you get the idea that "no one gives a shit about inhaling diesel fumes". That's an odd assertion to make.
> College CS programs in the USA are focusing more and more on appeasing recruiters and HR folk with keywords than in teaching CS fundamentals. And I think that's a tragedy.

If true, I am sure we would agree on that score.

> There are fundamental data structures and algorithms that any programmer is useless if they don't know, and I doubt people are learning these at bootcamps in 6 months.

I believe that what gets taught at bootcamps is how to tackle new things, and professional standards of code quality. More learning how to learn. I do dispute the idea of "any programmer is useless if they don't know X" for any X. It's too strongly worded, for one thing. If you qualify 'programmer' as someone with 4-6 languages under their belt then yes, if that person doesn't know their algorithms they're probably going to be less productive -- writing BASIC in every language. That is unfortunately far from useless. But the subset of coding tasks you'd assign to junior developers are probably not going to inconvenience you much if you don't know how to do an A* search.
Analyzing 29 seasons of Survivor: Who's the most dominant team?
No, he actually went right after your implied (to me and muhfuhkah, at least) argument.

Your argument is that we should aspire to merely "just better than the other guys", with the subtext that Democrats aren't really any better than Republicans.

'muhfuhkah' pointed out that it IS better. Which is worth pointing out in a two party system.

We just watched a whole bunch of people make your same arguments, saying Obama wasn't perfect so whatever they're all the same, and as a result we elected a guy who's much worse in every possible way. Great job, everyone.
Heavy rail is a taxpayer-funded government service, provided by governments with particularly liberal electorates (large dense cities). One of its key selling points, among certain constituents, is as an equalizer: getting the rich out their Audis and into the same miserable conditions as everyone else.

I think most people who can't afford first class on airlines do resent it, but since airlines aren't state-owned and, more importantly, it's always been there (not a new proposal), there's not much they can do.

There was also this paper from 2013, about acetaminophen relieving "existential dread". The experiemental setup induced subconscious anxiety by making the subjects watch David Lynch's short film "Rabbits", then measured it's effect on strictness when recommending fines for hockey rioters.

The researchers concluded, "Despite the many questions that these findings raise, they do demonstrate that acetaminophen has more far-reaching psychological consequences than previously realized, and that a single pill can serve as an effective manipulation in the lab."

1. This looks like a normal use case. It depends on your business, if you end up collecting more than just an email (e.g. SSN, phone #, etc.), then you can add a logic to prevent the creation of a new account from the same user. Otherwise, it looks just like the creation of a new account and shouldn't be handled has an exception by your app.

2. On the user side you only present an email as a login. Though, on the implementation side you still need a user_id as your primary key. You can update the email attribute at anytime for an existing user_id. That involves an extra step to setup some sort of security questions so that a user can update the email address without having to access the account.

I've been able to negotiate 5-10k increase on offers, and improved contracts whilst unemployed and without any competing offers, i've never felt the need to play companies off each other. Being candid has served me well and makes me feel a lot better about myself than trying to play salesman.

I benefit from a lot of privilege and circumstance, but any company making me an offer probably knows that not having another offer right now doesn't weaken my hand, at any moment i'm only a few days away from another offer if I really want it.

So yeah, I suffer from anxiety-related issues, I'm going to choose the route of less stress.

I live on an island in Canada an I can say people who live on islands feel close to each other. It's like a small town but at another level again since you are isolated from others.

It would be terrible to have families moved they eventually lose contact with their neighbours in a city like Crawley. The environment for the people born in a tropical island compared to cold urban Crawley would have been depressing.
I completely agree with you. This principle is why I'm so opposed to the trend of using labels as form input placeholders, and animating them into place when the input takes focus. What information is that supposed to communicate to the user?

Here is a document I found on the DG Nova instruction set:

http://users.rcn.com/crfriend/museum/doco/DG/Nova/base-instr...

If you scroll down to "Arithmetic/Logic Instructions" you'll see that they did not have room for XOR nor OR, since several of the 8 opcodes that fit into the 3-bit field are what we'd normally think of as "one-operand", but have been expanded to be "two-operand" (oddly enough, there is an increment but no decrement instruction either.)

It's interesting to compare to two other well-known CPUs with a 3-bit ALU opcode field:

The Z80's (and 8008/8080/8085) ALU opcodes are: ADD/ADC/SUB/SBC/AND/XOR/OR/CP

The x86's ALU opcodes are: ADD/OR/ADC/SBB/AND/SUB/XOR/CMP
I don't expect anything anymore from GTK given it's current track record. The latest issue I discovered was the 'letter' to filename shortcut you used to have in file dialogs. It now triggers recursive search instead. Incredibly irritating, especially when used with large and/or FUSE directories, even considering there's a one line patch to allow customization though dconf which has been ignored since more than one year.

GTK 3 has been downhill usability-wise for me. One of the primary reasons I've stopped as a developer to use it entirely.

I agree with your general point but I will say that the "State Circle Pack" demo is actually a great use of animation; particularly when you slow down the animation to ~2sec.

You can see which groups resize or drop out, and which groups take there place. Much more illustrative than most animated pie charts or bar graphs you'd normally would see for the same info.

To expand on this point further, the phenomenon of synthesizing accounts of a person saying something has already existed for thousands of years.

If I tell you that "Trump said that low income families will receive unconditional, federally sponsored medical coverage," you will not immediately take my word on it. You will critically analyze my statement by scritinizing who I am to make this claim, and the claims congruency with what you already know to be reality. I am not a reputable publication, so you are not likely to believe me, because the claim is contrary to what is already known.

The same will become true of video. A video of what looks like somebody saying something will become as useful as hearsay testimony. We will, through necessity, begin critically scrutinizing the source of footage, not just taking it's content at face value.

In many ways this already exists in the photography world. Convincing photo manipulation is old technology at this point, and I think we've adequately adapted to it.

This is what antimonopoly/antitrust laws should have been used against, but in this merger and aquisition market, the people with the power to invoke them are too corrupted and regulatory captured to do it, and so the people suffer.

The UN's one big jab is to prevent nuclear war by limiting border disputes. I'm not sure what the value of them weighing in on this case.

I think it diminishes the UN's authority to have it issue edicts that are not going to be implemented or enforced.
I have never seen that idiom used intentionally, I would almost always suspect it to be an accident... but perhaps there are valid use cases in function composition.

I'd argue that shaving a few hundred feet of road off your journey is minuscule compared to shaving 20+mph off your speed.

The most bizarre thing about the Narrow Streets proposal is, how they hell are bikes or buses supposed to work at reasonable speed if the streets are choked with them (and pedestrians, who would apparently have right of way on the same paths as bikes and buses, rather than parallel sidewalks).
I apparently have a different understanding of what "doing science" means. To me, it means performing experiments, taking measurements, testing theories etc. the result of which is usually some kind of scientific publication. I'm obviously not advocating that this kind of work be done by the judicial branch.

So what am I imagining the judicial branch to do?

Assume the new leadership of the EPA decides to introduce some new policy based on bogus cherry-picked studies that deny the reality of climate change. When people rightfully complain that this is not the "best available science", the case goes to a judge.

The judge now has to decide whether or not the HONEST act was violated. To do that, since they are themselves not in a position to judge the science involved, they will likely have to rely on expert testimony. Given the overwhelming consensus in the scientific literature, a judge would have to be quite crooked indeed not to find that studies that completely fail to reflect this are not the "best available science". They should thus find in favor of environmentalists against the EPA.

Am I too naive in imagining this outcome?

From your link there looks to be two functions spare, I guess you would need a new PROM to make use of them though.
