Yeah, "free" healthcare is expensive for sure. Here in Quebec, I'd guess that it's around 40%-60% of the overall province's budget. Sure, it means higher taxes, but we don't have to deal with health insurance. How much do people (or their employer) pay for that in California? 300$ / month? I'm pretty sure my (provincial) taxes are not 3.6K higher than someone in California.

People mention better access to specialists in a privatized system... I'd argue the peace of mind of not having to worry about healthcare costs far outweigh whatever advantages a privatized system may have.

I've worked so far away from the metal for such a long time but I still find these types of articles so interesting even though I only understand a small fraction of the info. Its amazing to think the levels of abstraction which are in place from the code at this level which make my work possible.
There was a good article on the vast money charged by these journals in the Guardian last week. Although the publishers business does seem pretty robust, there are at least winds of change from universities and governments who fund this research that are finally saying enough is enough...

Not trying to advertise too much, but my cofounder and I have been building out a job website for a while called "TrueJob"(https://www.truejob.com/), which is focused on startup jobs and very recently heavily Michigan jobs. We'd love to have people try it out!

Not saying it is not a bubble. Amazon was part of the dot com era bubble and look at what they are now. When you lower the barrier of entry you have all kind of community members, including the few good ones who don't want to follow a more classical funding approach. In the worst case, all this is an interesting experiment.
I've also had my share of encounters with such people, so I can relate to what you're saying here.

However: I strongly suspect the reason for both generalizations to exist is the fact that we as humans tend to remember the extreme encounters the most - the obvious observation being that the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to all ages.
Not until they can really explain to the average Joe why cryptocurrencies are such a good thing.

Because at the end of the day, privacy is nowhere near as important to many people are it arguably should be, and trying to market cryptocurrencies as 'independent from government control' is likely a losing proposition.

Same with most of the reasons involved I've seen invoked for why to use Bitcoin or the likes online. They're logical, but they're also likely to fly straight over the heads of most of the population.

Add the deliberate way that governments and the media try and portray cryptocurrencies as being used for 'criminal' purposes (which has given these currencies a bit of an image problem), and you've got something that seems very unlikely to ever truly go mainstream.
>"We accept any kind of code, be it a kata made during a workshop or a side project"

>"But it's still a somewhat "fake" code made for the only purpose to apply at the company"

The code I write for side projects is not "production quality" because I do it for my own entertainment. I would never feel comfortable showing it off in an interview because it doesn't represent me professionally. All of my positions have been strictly closed-source.

Additionally, the code I write for side projects is usually unlike the work I'd be doing professionally. I'm a web developer but most of the side projects I work on are either dinky little video games or open source hardware.

I'll cede that I do find my side projects more interesting to talk about but I generally try and write "high-ish quality code" (not "fake") for the take home interview projects that I've had to do.
It seems like you're using this example to imply statistical education is likely to blind people to obvious logical problems with their interpretation of evidence. If that's the case it isn't a very good example since multiple comparisons is a standard issue commonly covered in a first or second course in statistics.
Hiring is more than the job tasks: there's work culture, politics and external factors. At least here in Mexico, the people usually are very political (we call them 'grillos'): they tend to form groups, brain wash other employees and use the law to their advantage, because in Mexico, the employer has to prove almost everything in case there's a work dispute.

And that's another reason to consider: yes, there are young people that has these traits, but mostly it comes from experience (or as we say here, 'colmillo').

The other big factor is the old saying that old dogs don't learn new tricks, so it's difficult to guide them towards the company vision, and it's worse when they have a boss that could be their son.

Those are my experiences based on Mexico, I know there are better places in the world with different mindsets, I just wanted to include my thoughts on this topic.
Great suggestion, we'll do so soon, thanks!
A few observations from my freediving days (I've trained competitively for a few years).

The urge to breathe you get when you're holding your breath long enough is from elevated CO2 in your blood and the subsequent change in PH (as a comment here already stated).
That urge is actually your diaphragm contracting involuntarily, but you can learn to endure that feeling which is the key for apnea attempts.
But besides that, there are no almost no other indications before you pass out.
Black-outs are quite common in freediving competitions because of that fact (freedivers just ignore the breathing reflex and nothing else tells them when to stop).

O2 saturation may fall 20-40% during your breath hold.
You generally won't feel anything until it's too late.
The problem is that you won't feel the difference between 99% and 65% saturation and you may black-out at 64% (those numbers are not the same for everyone).
The signs you can detect before blacking out are blurred vision, tunnel vision, fingers tingling, metallic taste in your mouth...
But, you have only a very small window of time between those symptoms starting and blacking out (literally a second or two if you're lucky).

Interestingly, the window of time depends on the discipline - the more physically engaged you are the window is bigger.
The static apnea (just floating face down in water) gives you almost no warning at all while at longer dynamic apnea attempts you have a few seconds when you can "detect" something is funky with your body.
The letter p was chosen to suggest probability because the p value is a probability.
In the past history of ICOs, did anyone gain from participating in the ICO more than they could have gained by buying the coin later in an exchange?
It's "unpredictable" what happens, so I think the best you're going to do is a DoS. I.e. if you could get the JS JIT in a browser to generate code like this and execute it repeatedly, you could crash a machine just by visiting a site.
Can you also give EmailThis a shot?

As I've written in the FAQs [1], one of the key advantages of EmailThis is that you don't rely on any external service. So if a service like Readability goes down, you don't end up losing all your saved bookmarks.

Regarding search & filtering, if you are using Gmail or Outlook, you can set filters that automatically move incoming bookmark emails (that EmailThis sends) into specific folders based on keywords/tags.

You can also leverage the fulltext search that your email client provides.

Note however they also say that there is only one intelligent species in the history of earth.

Now lumpers v splitters aside there are plenty of tool using, problem solving, communicating species on the planet right now. And they cover the spread too: Octopuses, apes, birds; ants individually are of course dumb as a brick but colonies have actually invented agriculture.

Yeah, ants probably will never make it into space and birds lack fine dexterity to build a rocket ship even if there is a parrot Newton/Ramanajun but that doesn't mean we won't find something to have a conversation with if we can go to them.
I would like to add to this, i got asked the question recently in context of the workplace
'When did you realise that in fact, outside of governmental, there are no rules?'

outside of your own moral and ethical values and the rules of Law we are free to do as we please, largely without consequence.
By realising this you allow yourself to question the norm and start to understand how to change it
> So when an authority says that something is safe, and later turn out not to be so, isn't the original claim just bullshit?

No, it is not bullshit.

> The famous study that both ant and pro vaxxers tout are a very good example

Are you talking about the study that the people that has passed this bill would be glad to use?

Yes, that study was bullshit and a fraud, and no, the pro vaccination people didn't did ant bullshit.
> EDIT: Ultimately, I think the majority of what we consider as "science" today (except maths/physics) is a somewhat grey area and is prone to various kinds of manipulation should not be really accepted without any sort of challenge. And just because something is peer reviewed does not make it the word of god...

No, it is not the word of god, but when a topic has been proved for decades and innumerable experiments it is fairly sure that the science is sound.

And yes, I'm talking about the Theory of Evolution and Climate Change basis. The TWO topics that this bill will be against.

By the way, one is a physics topic.
It would be great if you included salary range as well. I'd much rather apply through a recruiter who posted the salary range than directly with a company who doesn't.

The coffee equivalent would be comparing coffee brewed from Arabica beans vs Robusta. And there is no way in hell any regular coffee drinker would not be able to tell the difference. :) Robusta beans are despised by every "coffee snob" in existence because of their sour and vile after taste. The coffee challenge is easier though because regular coffee only tastes either as Arabica coffee or Robusta coffee (there are some crossbreeds), but wine can taste in thousands of different ways.

it is generally assumed that N >= 1.

The overwhelming majority are (at least in the US), primarily because Redhat will actually work with upstream projects and fix bugs. Canonical will say, "Lets see if Debian will fix it for us".

One of my employers spent a multi-year effort to replace Ubuntu entirely (with RHEL) after Jane Silber came onsite and agreed that their support organization could not work on the things we'd wanted them to, because Redhat was already the upstream working on those things or the preferred partner of said hardware vendors. This isn't heresay, I heard it from her myself (maybe 4 years ago?).

Not really.

You change languages, currency, you need new bank accounts, new health insurance, completely different educational system. All administrations are different. The culture is also a shock. You will never find any of the grocery or shop you used to buy.

A French going to the UK is not much different than a Mexican going to the USA.

The only advantage is that you don't risk being deported by the police if they don't like you papers. You are effectively allowed to be there by the virtue of being European.
You can consider it, sure. It happens, and it's a risk for many companies. But keep in mind this doesn't usually happen unless you've gained some kind of traction or product-market fit (tech giants have other things to do and will only take notice if it's worth noticing).

Does this mean if you make something good you'll die? It depends - on the industry, and the product or service and the nature of your IP.

Most of the time, yes. Some sites like to be sneaky though and disable scrolling and other weird annoyances. A simple DOM event to check for certain elements existing would circumvent removing of the element. I would remove all events associated with said element (if they exist) first to prevent weirdness. Hell even developing a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script for that particular website would be easy enough, so you don't have to do that every time.

Tech Interview Mindset
Just a guess, but CO2 levels in our body are much lower which would mean small changes are easier to detect.
Also just a guess, when we were all just fish making a first few steps into land, atmosphere O2 concentration was lower, CO2 higher, so maybe we evolved to detect what was more abundant then.
The U.S. military has essentially a monopsony on high-tech weapons systems like the F-35, but somehow it doesn't see great efficiencies in pricing.
Not many people would mind a company making a small profit from tax-funded research, if they are offering a value-added service, but the scale of Elsevier profits is ludicrous. It is one of the most profitable large companies on the planet.

I second this. Trying to be the best at X will have serious diminishing returns. A lot of people stress out because they've put all their energy into one thing and yet they aren't the best at that one thing. Diversification is an easy way to add uniqueness to your skillset (and more importantly, enrich your life/gain perspective).

It helps to get used to being terrible at something at first. Every few years I pick up a different sport and there is that period where I am the worst person in the gym/on the team, etc. With practice, you simply get good at being bad at something, if that makes any sense.

Nope, hire the younger only, so they can make all the mistakes the old have already done, and waste the company's money.
I think this area is a genuine modern example of a suppressed technology.
> i feel like those advantage people who just finished their algorithms class, or have time to practice specifically for it.

That's the entire point. These sorts of interviews are an easy, legal way to filter out the "olds." And you're old in this industry by the time you amass 10 years of experience.

If there were really a shortage of programmers, ageism would not be an issue. As it is, there is an extreme glut of talented programmers and it's definitely a buyer's market.
To complete the link, there is a story behind each ICO, some ICOs were "disasters", i.e there was a hidden cap (a maximum amount where the ICO stops) and people flooded the blockchain with high fees transactions and only some "whales" did particpate.

For example, this happened with Basic Attention Token (150 people only did the ICO if I remember correctly), but also with Status, Bancor etc.
So when you have 10 000+ people trying to buy a token, and only a few hundreds achieve to buy it because the network does not scale yet and a bunch of people with a lot of money can afford 1000$+ transaction fees, these tokens skyrocket once they hits exchanges.
