If you have a job, then you can only interview on lunch breaks or after work. If you have a shitty job then you have incredibly short lunch breaks and get off work late. You'll miss a lot of interview opportunities.

You also might not have time to do the various different screener exercises that many companies require of junior developers to make sure you actually know how to do something more complicated than fizzbuzz

If you've got two juniors of similar skill levels, and one of them needs this job significantly more, that may also weigh in your hiring decision
A space weather problem would be a single event upset. Something got flipped to the wrong state and could have burned up (e.g., power electronics). You protect designs against this with circuit design but can't use shielding. Shielding is to reduce total ionizing dose, not single event upsets.

I guess I don't know what "major industries" people are talking about. For example, earlier in the thread Hollywood and finance are mentioned -- but these are definitely industries with a long history of law suits in this area.

With regards to "...ask a woman..." and "...the fact that other industries may also have a gender problem..." -- neither of these remarks have anything to do with what I said. I have some doubts about the claim posted earlier, to the effect that tech is worse than other "major industries", because I have never seen anything to back that up -- but two wrongs do not make a right and I never said anything like that.

To support these ideas I guess I would like to know, what are these major industries and what are the axes of comparison?

If this kind of factual scrutiny seems wrong in the face of the present emergency, I have to ask you: when would it ever be right?
> If it was clear cut, why is the Chief of Enforcement accommodating alternatives?

Because the Commission has finite resources and devoting them to dealing with a billionaire that's devoted to tying up the legal system as long as possible isn't efficient use of them if a compromise can be reached at far less cost in litigation and the remaining resources directed to other priorities.
> Piracy is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it means you receive no compensation for the benefit readers get from the work you put in. On the other hand, pirated books act as implicit marketing, expanding awareness of you and your book(s). They can also reach buyers who want to see the full product before making a purchasing decision or who wouldn't become aware of your book through conventional marketing efforts.

The point I've emphasized above really matters a lot for people who do read many books. Despite select chapter previews that some publishers provide, there are people who really want to do their own evaluation of something before committing to buying it.

> My feeling is that most people who choose pirated books are unlikely to pay for them, even if that's the only way to get them. As such, I'm inclined to think the marketing effect of illegal copies exceeds the lost revenue. I have no data to back me up. Maybe it's just a rationalization to help me live with the knowledge that no matter what you do, there's no way you can prevent bootleg copies of your books from showing up on the Net.

Again, the emphasized sentence above has been known for a very long time in the areas of music, movies, TV shows, books - any content, actually. In my observation, people who pirate books also tend get into a habit of hoarding rather than reading (low disk/storage and bandwidth costs). Leaving aside the people who are in countries with poorer currencies and cannot really imagine buying a lot of the English language technical content produced, I doubt if the real loss in revenue is even substantial.

Books also, depending on the subject, require investments of time, attention, memory and repeated reference, unlike movies, TV shows and music that most of the time require a "one time investment". So I would not consider books to be in the same category as others when it comes to piracy.

I'm not at all happy with O'Reilly's decision, and did write to support at oreilly saying that this makes it difficult (finding DRM free content on amazon or elsewhere in multiple formats) and that I wouldn't be buying O'Reilly products again. I received a standard reply thanking me for the feedback and pointing me to the blog post. My guess is that the direct customer relationship and brand recognition through its website is going to be lost along with this decision.

I don't know if O'Reilly will change the decision, but people who do value the freedom of DRM free content in different formats must voice their opinions by writing to O'Reilly support.
On the flip side of of bootcamps, are orgs like 42.us org, which aside from being a nonprofit, is also completely free!

Some combination of:

1. A tinkering mentality a la DIY as educational institutions fail to keep up with accelerating progress; as developing world grows more important on the world stage; and as kids in the affluent world get bored.

2. Machine learning turning into machine teaching, like Google Now but for retention and discovery, with aspects of Duolingo, Khan Academy, probably with social gamification and sharing ("Billy just learned these basic facts about accounting!")

3. Digital economy acceleration, probably with blockchain tokens, leading to a huge incentivization of people to produce their own educational material, mentor others, etc. Imagine a bunch of creative people making videos and stuff, in global efficient competition, and being directly rewarded for upvotes/views with tokens, maybe even community-specific tokens with different exchange rates to other communities (see Steemit for a glimpse of this).

Good engineers will naturally gravitate towards good tools. Therefore away from bad ones. Node.js is not a good tool. Therefore the quality of engineers using it will be poor and get worse over time. The same is true of MongoDB.
> I doubt if the real loss in revenue is even substantial.

yes, i also agree. The content just needs to be made slightly difficult to pirate, to keep the honest people honest - but there's no need to invest in any expensive and difficult to maintain DRM (like an online check).

Also, if content is easier to consume when pirated, then whose fault is it that more people would rather pirate than go though the official channel?

This might be the best summing up of the/our schizophrenic attitude towards professionalism (and work) that I've ever read. The words, "in a professional setting, you aren't a person," just nail it. Meanwhile, the corporation itself has the legal status of a person, and can now even claim to hold religious beliefs. Ergo, we could probably fix some of these issues in the valley with a few properly Gorean S Corps.

It's an interesting idea, but according to software engineering average salaries, seems like that "cap" will most of the time be met, making the cost of your bootcamp way higher than most.

I don't really get the "it's costly argument" since it is still education, and most education (at least in the US) and usually way more expensive than that.

I paid 10k upfront for 3 month bootcamp and got a job in a few weeks. Because I got the job through the referral system of the bootcamp, I got 5k back on my tuition.
This seems like a good deal to me. The bootcamp was aligned with my success because they make more money through the referral also.
do kites require transponders? gliders/paragliders?
No, it makes no sense. Let me cite something:

"...recommendations from members of Congress and the National Transportation Safety Board and was intended to gather information to determine whether the current glider exception from transponder equipage and use provides the appropriate level of safety in the National Airspace System. The FAA is withdrawing that action because the _limited safety benefit gained does not justify the high cost of equipage_."

If only we had elected Arnold instead of Donald.
Debris still rises over the horizon, so lasing the front of the object will push it both out and back. If you can balance it so that the back degrades the orbit more than the out increases it then you’re good.
The program you're looking at isn't a bootcamp, it's closest to (but not equivalent to) a CS degree. Our bootcamp is $3k up-front, though we'll likely phase it out as there's a lot you simply can't teach in three months that good software engineers need to know.

And 10k up front isn't a big deal for me, and it may not be for you, but a lot of our students were making <$20k/yr before they joined, so the risk is enormous, especially when you look at the failure rate for bootcamps. Glad it worked out for you.
> never mind what I do, not in a million years I could beat Usain Bolt

Maybe this is just a bad analogy, but if you're objectively worse than Usain Bolt then in a meritocracy you should justifiably be worse off. That's a bad expectation anyway, at a population level 0% of people are Usain Bolt. This ultimately leads to a question I've been thinking about a lot; should we as a society be okay with a hard working naturally gifted person being higher paid than an equally hard working non-gifted person.
> How does an Earth based laser bring something closer to Earth with radiatipn pressure rather than pushing it further away?

It changes the shape of the orbit. Shooting sideways is hard (more atmosphere) but pushing it away from the center of the earth works too: The orbit becomes less circular and more elliptical. While the higher point (apogee) is further away than before, the lowest point (perigee) is closer.

Lower the perigee enough, and the satellite starts grazing the atmosphere. That's what really bleeds off energy, and causes the orbit to shrink overall.

> And how does that work in GEO?

I'm not sure. At that distance you can't rely on the same subtle destabilization, nor really hit it from any angle but "below".

Bitcoin can be easily tracked. If they make the exchanges refuse to accept coins that have been through a mixer / laundered then everything is trivially trackable.

Even dollar bills can in theory be marked and tracked. Each one has its own number, it's just that they aren't registered on a global ledger. The real advantage of bitcoin was that no one can block your payment or confiscate your money.

But once it's trackable, they can keep a list of "blacklisted" coins which regulated exchanges will refuse to cash out for things. And which will make it hard to pay for actual stuff (eg expedia via BitPay) with them.
It's true, air travel is more economical. Here in Spain we have thousands of high speed rail trains... and the truth is that even though a ticket is not cheap, not even the line Madrid-Barcelona (which can cost 80€ for a return ticket) is profitable... even when that's the most used high speed train in Spain.

So, yes, it's a great system for the people who use it, and I like the fact that we have such a thing, but it's actually supported by taxes and not that used by the general population.

Disclaimer: I have commercial interest with oreilly. I speak at a ton of their conferences and lean on them partially for marketing and lead gen.

Oreilly author here. FWIW a ton of us were caught off guard by this as well. At the same time, I can't say I'm surprised.

My commercial incentives for working with oreilly wasn't about the book per se. I found a ton of value in working with them for their peripheral activities including safari, their strata , and AI conferences. I think other folks who write for oreilly tend to do these same things.

Pointing out where oreilly is making money: It tends to be large companies paying for access to safari now.

They will be putting other content in there now.

Print is a dying media. That being said: A ton of people prefer print still.

I don't think any end user or author of their's is "happy" about this per se. 1 benefit I liked of the online store was the ability to point people at that for pre releases and updates.
You can't really do that with amazon.

I may be naively hopeful in saying this, but..

That being said: this should allow them to invest in other distribution channels now as well.

Oreilly showed they know how to run a distribution channel and may use that expertise in other areas.

As someone closer to this than a lot of people, I'm happy to answer general questions about the process, other ways this could affect us etc, if that helps.

This is just media and goverment trying to put the dschinny of the internet back into the lamp. You can allmost hear the sigh:

Damn, I got mine for $2. Shoulda haggled.
Pretty thought provoking. It ties into my view that a free internet is a major democratizing force (like the next stepping stone after printing): anyone may speak up, anyone may distribute knowledge, it spreads at near light speed. And possibly, given an initial investment, basically for free. This is very powerful, which is why I don't approve of the glorification of the developments in many governments or Silicon Valley or elsewhere. A walled internet is just as powerful as an open one, but in the wrong direction.
Exactly this. Be very very careful approaching some rich asshole's security with a a tool mike this.

> it seems almost inevitable that the world would become genetically divided between those who can breed out the flaws, and those who cannot.

Geography already divides those who live long lives and those who don't. Those who can become ill and not die and those who cannot.

This is little different and will require charity and assistance similar to that we already provide to the developing world.

> they’ll be able to select cosmetic features such as hair and eye color, and even more complex traits such as intelligence.

Has the genetic component of intelligence been mapped? This should be predictably controversial despite being a brilliant scientific leap. Given the importance of intelligence to success we should - if possible - select for intelligent offspring.
And therein lies the problem no one talks about: all these autonomous vehicle technologies have only been tested in non-adversarial situations. Machine learning algorithms do not generalize the way humans do, and it has been shown that they’re fairly easy to fool. This is an active area of research at the moment, and no one really knows how to fix this, at least not without deploying an ensemble of networks with different architectures.
Awesome, thanks!!!
We're using graphql in front of a Drupal 8 data engine, with a variety of other data sources behind that. It's also for a publishing company, that has a bunch of different front end sites all served from the same content store... But with separate development groups. We're using the youshido graphql library for it... Though now that development is further along, I wish we'd chosen the webonyx one.

A good GraphQL backend resolves the graph into query results efficiently, rather than just field by field. But that does take a but of getting used to....
