Sure, that's exactly the 'hidden fitness argument' mentioned in the article, which the author is arguing is insufficient to explain observed behaviors.

A thought I had while reading the review: survival is the low bar on fitness. Once you've passed the bar and have ten males to choose from, some sort of differentiation can easily come into play, regardless of whether or makes much sense with regard to utility.
No. You've never had an inherent right to have people listen to you.
I'd be surprised if it precluded the use of low voltage wiring because there are standards for it as well.

The issue is that the law ends up with houses needing the 120VAC connection to the grid. I don't think that doesn't mean there can't be a secondary low voltage line, but ianal.
Is this a pie chart??
I agree 100% with the direction of your conclusion - different companies can have different cultures / different processes and candidates (especially experienced ones with high market value) can just go with whatever style of company you feel is best.

That said, your characterization of the parent as wanting "want monkeys who consistently put their own interest behind the company's" is missing a key third stakeholder besides the company and the candidate - and that's the other employees! In my experience, a company built around a strong collaborative working culture will have employees that a) want to see what it's like working through a problem with you, in some form, b) feel that an environment where every incoming candidate has to pass the same bar, regardless of pedigree, is fairer c) prefer working with others that exhibit the humility you characterize as being a 'monkey'.

Again, ymmv, choose the culture you want, etc...
Not the point. "What would information technology be like today if ARPA/IPTO style funding still existed?" would be the more relevant question. I'd call those dudes "great artists". That's the community Kay comes from, the one that gave rise to the Internet, PARC, and everything else that several generations of hustlers have made careers off iterating upon.

It's also worth noting that TCP/IP was able to outfox the planned X.25 ISO standard for international network transport in large part because ARPA was releasing code and standards for free and testing it live. All of that happened before the Internet was commercialized.
Solar-to-fuel system recycles CO2 to make ethanol and ethylene

Money quote: "You have to be the boss or you have to play ball."

Pretty much sums it up - when you reach a point of having so much experience you know what has to be done, and how to do it, you'll inevitably take exception to others trying to tell you what to do and how to do it. At that point you could step up and be the person who communicates & reinforces that with the team. People need that, especially if you're the kind who's right often, and helps people.

What's awkward for a lot of engineers is of course the fact that getting into a leadership role inevitably takes you away from the kind of work that first made you get into the business. You have enough experience to know how things should go, but too much experience to continue being an "individual contributor" as they say.

Consulting seems like an interesting "middle path" in that you're an expert and a leader in a way, yet you might still get to do some actual work sometimes!
You buying stock constitutes market liquidity. Market liquidity allows companies to do follow-on offerings, buybacks, and preferential rate debt financing (often with stock option collateral) at their leisure. It also allows companies to compensate their employees in stock options - I don't know the best financial term for this, but it creates employee goodwill. Companies periodically restructure their stock option pools (in almost the same dilutive manner as follow-on offerings) so they can continue to offer employees more stock options.
If you look at history, the anomaly is today. As one example, not working some job during your teenage years is a recent phenomena (at least the last 20 years maybe 30 years).

I think the grey men in Momo are different; the grey men encourage people to save time by being more efficient (and thereby neglecting human relationships and the things that made them happy).

Facebook, on the other hand, encourages people to use their human relationships to waste time via superficial interactions with so that Facebook can profit directly from ad sales.

Some strategies work well against either threat; spend time with people away from the computer, don't go along with whatever everyone else is doing.

But they are exploiting different vices: the grey men exploit people's long term greed to entice them to accept an intolerable present, whereas Facebook exploits short-term procrastination and addiction psychology: "I wonder what's going on on Facebook right now... it'll just take a couple seconds to check." (This isn't unique to Facebook. I tend to waste a lot more time on Hacker News and Reddit than Facebook. At least HN doesn't have a profit motive, and I do learn a lot of interesting things here.)

> If I wanted anything in my late teens (car, fuel, guitar, computer, books, money for dates - etc.) I had to come up with the money for it - my parents provided shelter, food, clothing and a safe environment to sleep in. Everything else, it was unsaid fact I was going to have to provide myself.

My prior is like yours: There are likely different answers to the various points listed above.

Regarding this one:

> Sex probably includes factors of better sexual education. Higher pregnancy rates are seen in populations with no or bad sexual education. Also, you are 'held to the fire' by the state if you get someone pregnant.

It's possible that the easy availability of porn has a lot more to do with this than just fear of pregnancy, which is probably why this is seen across the board (urban, rural, ethnicities, etc) and despite apps like Tinder.
It will be interesting to see what VR does for this. I am kinda excited about AR because you need some reality to make it work, and Pokemon Go was probably a net positive. VR probably will win though for a net negative.

Bitcoin could hard-fork to a memory-hard algorithm (like Lyra2RE), or even change to any hashing algorithm for which ASICs don't exist yet.

Even if they switched to Scrypt (from SHA256) for which dedicated hardware exist, it would cost them millions of dollars and require months of manufacturing re-organization to get to their share of hashrate.

Of course, the miners would still be able to mine the old fork and at that point it is more likely that an altcoin (like Ethereum, Litecoin or Vertcoin) would eat up Bitcoin's marketshare.

I previously worked on an extremely large (in whatever sense you wish to look at, size of codebase, number of users, transaction volume, whatever) system that was originally written in a language like you describe: Pro*C. It basically permitted in-lining SQL with your C code. It might've not been too bad on small systems, but shared Cs scaling problems. It was difficult to track where database changes were actually coming from, but I don't know of any other solution that would have made that easier. If you have a dozen applications across tens of millions of lines of code, all of which could potentially be responsible (or maybe whatever wrote the value they based their change off of was actually the problem...) things get hairy.

I am curious if you've looked at C# and their LINQ stuff though as it sounds like it might check a lot of those boxes. I'm no C# expert myself, haven't used it for several years (since right before LINQ was introduced) so I'm not sure, but it looked to be along those lines when it was being proposed.

Software-generated video is definitely difficult to get working from scratch, limited in resolution, and expensive in CPU cycles, but it's been done on several microcontroller families [1] [2] [3]. You generally still need an external resistor network to do the D/A conversion, though.

Nah, the late '00s and '10s was about EDM and the resurgence of raves, as well as Ecstasy and so forth. Mega-DJs like Skrillex, David Guetta, deadmau5, Avicii, etc.

>You are attacking him, by projecting your opinion of his motivations for writing the article, imaginary motivations rooted in "his" dislike for an industry.

They aren't actually imaginary - this article is right in line with his book, which he wrote after being fired by one of the founders of Facebook. He's written and spoken quite extensively on this. Further, I didn't say those were his motivations for writing the article. I said that those were his motivations for writing it in the manner that he did.

>Ascribing motivations to someone else I associate with straw man fallacy.

That isn't what a straw man is, though.

As for ad hominem - I'm not actually attacking him, I'm taking issue with the way he wrote the article and is characterizing a 33 year old man that has achieved immense and improbable success, married and with children as a 'good boy.'
Dustin Moskovitz's “clarity pyramid” used for strategic alignment
And what is wrong with that? Is this another blame piece article that teens or young people in general are less masculine and animalistic, and not as ambitious as their parental generations and need to toughen up?

So fed up with this narrative, like they know what is good for the teens, what they experienced when they were young should be shrined as norm while the young people are the ones that screwed up by turning it down. No. The teens and young people are living in a world, the adults CREATED, and if someone to be blamed, it should be the adults. However that should not be the point, the world had moved on, people are living in very different time and space now, they ought to have different ways to live it, it is the adults like the author, who can't really take the fact, and blindly shouting the remains of good days.
If your suppliers use VPNs anyway, you can absolutely ban Chinese IPs without much consequence for them. However, if it's for a user-facing site, please don't just ban all of China. After relocating, I was quite annoyed by the number of websites that are unavailable not because they are blocked by the Great Firewall, but because they banned all of China and VPNs to stop the abuse they saw from some IPs in those ranges.
But are these Mega DJ's cultural icons ? I like Skrillex's and deadmau5's music, but can they compare in cultural impact to a Freddy Mercury or John Lennon? Why am I not seeing the skillex t-shirts ?

Before you have product-market fit... vendor lock-in doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is getting to product-market fit.

If you have some product-market fit, vendor lock-in probably doesn't matter.

If your business is growing quickly and you have the ability to raise a strong Series A investment (if you wanted to), then vendor relationships are worth thinking about and engineering for the long term.

Giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google don't want to "control your stuff before you even make it" because most things that people make aren't worth their time. Once your business is growing steadily, however, this might change.

But America is shifting more toward the slower model, and the change is apparent across the socioeconomic spectrum, Twenge said. "Even in families whose parents didn't have a college education...families are smaller, and the idea that children need to be carefully nurtured has really sunk in."

One wonders if there are extant societies that are worth comparing. Maybe American family structures are becoming more like those in East Asian or Western/Northern European societies. The greater emphasis on education for credentialism, leading to longer hours spent on schoolwork or college-app burnishing extracurriculars, sounds like it.

Of course, the study claims the opposite ("noting that teens today spend fewer hours on homework and the same amount of time on extracurriculars as they did in the 1990s"), which seems at odds with the popular perception of high schoolers being slammed with AP courses.
The lack of encryption at rest for Kubernetes secrets was one of the (many) factors in why we originally chose Vault.

I feel like that quote might be out of context. If not, well then Darwin is wrong. After reading this article more carefully, one thing I'm certain is that Richard Prum lacks a fundamental understanding of evolution and natural selection.

To me it seems clear that females' aesthetic preferences are subject to selection bias, no different than the male aesthetic, or any other physiological or behavioral quality that makes two conspecific animals slightly different.

Also did anyone else notice the reviewer seems like Prum's book is literally getting them off..

"Prum seeks to prevail less through brute force of attack than by making his case with clarity, grace and charm. His attention never strays far from nature, and his writing in these bird passages is minutely detailed, exquisitely observant, deeply informed, and often tenderly sensual. When describing, say, the “throbbing” display of the lavishly decorated argus bird, he delivers a feathery brush of the erotic."

The fuck.
