It is? How so? As far as I can tell, sites don't need to change their business model at all; they can just start collecting payments from Brave in addition to their ad revenue from non-Brave users.

> Once a user enables Brave Payments, the Brave browser automatically and anonymously keeps track of the publisher sites each user visits. The more times that a user visits a site, the larger the proportion of the user’s monthly contribution is “ear-marked” for that publisher. These funds grow as new micropayments are added. When contributions for a publisher exceed $100.00 USD, an email is sent to both the webmaster of the site and the registered domain owner from your WHOIS information. The email explains how to verify the ownership of your website with Brave Software.

(See https://brave.com/publishers/)

I really like this implementation, because it avoids the chicken-egg problem that other solutions like Google Contributor have by not requiring the publisher's cooperation in order to work properly. Visitors on Brave don't see ads, period. Publishers can choose to collect money from Brave users if they want, but that doesn't change the experience from the user's point of view.

It's a gamble in the US. Most of the time, your direct supervisor and your group manager will both be actual, decent humans, and you will never encounter this madness.

But sometimes, one of them, or your division manager, junior VP, senior VP, CTO, or CEO will be an insane demon from the acidic bowels of the abyss, and they will make everyone underneath them miserable.

Generally, you either recognize it immediately and decline the offer, or you start looking for other work as soon as you figure it out, because they will eventually fire you or drive you to quit, and you will have no effective recourse against them.

We have no union aligned to our interests and no political party wanting to curry favor, so malicious employers can get away with whatever they want, and any penalty or backlash is usually dwarfed by the additional money made by the unethical behavior.

The consolation is that if you can get a decent job with sane management, the gross pay before cost of living expenses is a lot higher. You could potentially save up for retirement a lot faster, but you could also get two bad jobs in a row and burn out.

Mathematics is very good at maintaining the impression that it is universal and superior, but that's pretty questionable once you start looking at how it actually works. For two nice references, see:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Mathematics_Comes_From

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_and_Refutations

As for mathematics being superior for underpinning programming languages - that's certainly how some people make it look, but nobody really tries to explain what exactly is the link between mathematical foundations of programming and actual programming. (I did this for my PhD and I'm still not sure how it's supposed to work.) Everyone just hand-wavy assumes it's somehow there. The best account for how this might looks is perhaps this: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computer-science/
Anecdote:

I had always been told I was intelligent and clever. When it came to the exams everyone takes as a 15/16 year old in the UK I distinctly remember thinking to myself something like: "everyone has to be able to pass these exams, so I should be able to pass easily without much effort since I am one of the clever kids".

I didn't cheat, but my line of thought led me to a fairly disappointing set of results (as you'd expect).

Even now I think of myself as "smarter than the average bear", but I have the feeling that people were just telling me that because they were my parent/grand parent/friendly neighbor/aunt etc and now it is SET IN STONE IN MY BRAIN after years of reinforcement as a child.

What really confuses me though, is how can I think I am smarter than average, yet suffer from near constant impostor-syndrome? :-)
>On the other hand, a not-so-intelligent person that blindly followed protocol would have caused the downfall of the US and Soviet Union

I was reading on the Cuban missile crisis last night. There not one but several instances where the Americans said 'if x happens, we nuke the soviets', and then when x happened they didn't (for example, the downed U2 incident). The Soviets probably had just as many of those incidents. I think it really shows that deep down nobody was actually ready to go to war, so in all the chances they had to launch they chose instead not to.

I'm not quite sure what you meant by "true decentralization", but even if some arbitrary ideal of maximum decentralization isn't possible on the current web, I think it's still worthwhile to strive for some degree of decentralization over none. And many technologies on the web do in fact offer varying degrees of decentralization through federation and interop, with email being the canonical example.

And the use case you mentioned, for an arbitrary web page to ask the _user_ (because there's no reason why the browser absolutely needs to be an intermediary here. More on this in a bit) who it should be talking to in a decentralized manner, has been a solved problem for quite a while in the form of the WebFinger standard, whereby the user simply needs to provide an email address from a provider that implements the protocol on its domain (though it's not often used as a standalone protocol, it is actually quite well adopted as the discovery mechanism behind OpenID Connect, and I have used it in practice through the remoteStorage project: https://remotestorage.io/).

Portier certainly doesn't claim to be trying to copy Persona's approach to authentication on the web exactly, and specifically it makes a conscious effort to avoid predicating the system's usefulness and any of its fundamental design considerations on native browser support (that's of course not to say that they would refuse to integrate with browsers if the opportunity does eventually present itself), a decision that stems from the lessons learned from the failures of Persona: https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/master/Non...

At the end of the day, Portier strives to succeed Persona as an authentication mechanism, not as a browser-integrated authentication mechanism. And Facebook's current "holy grail" UX around authentication is living proof that you don't need explicit browser support to provide a great auth experience for the end-user. Whether Portier can be successful in replicating an experience like Facebook's while providing a useful degree of decentralization and user privacy as its mission statement declares remains to be seen, of course.

At least here in NZ, the core difference between salary and wages is that when you have a salaried job, you talk about yearly income, and when you have a wage job, you talk about hourly.

But the keyboard isn't the primary input device on Macs, it's the track pad: point, click, and especially scroll.

> I talked to a teacher friend about this, and while he thinks its great, I think it's ridiculous.

It seems to me that having parents and teachers praise hard work are different things. Kids likely aren't looking for the same kind of emotional support from the two.

Relatedly, even evaluating the hardness of hard work would be difficult if you don't observe it. I've had (university) students occasionally tell me that they have spent implausibly long hours studying for my classes. Hey, maybe they aren't lying about the time spent, but my general suspicion is that "studying" consists of opening the textbook and placing it to the side while they play around on Facebook or some such nonsense.
Don't just sue for yourself. Sue to have all their employees reclassified as wage employees rather than salaried exempt, and try to get them to pay out overtime for all that after-hours work.

I lack ALL empathy for me when I am confronted with such a double fine. It was my wrongdoing, so I suck it up and pay up.

I, an adult of sound mind and stable finances, occasionally forget to pay parking tickets on time. I am punished by a doubling of the fine. I deserve that punishment by breaking the law a second time, and I pay for that violation of the law by paying the double fine. It sucks but I move on.

It's no surprise SciHub is popular. It makes things work the way they always should have.

And interestingly, societies in which children routinely pay parking tickets are rare.

There are different purposes to different activities. Teaching kids how to learn, for instance, anticipates a different outcome than chastising people for antisocial parking.

Confidence from being told you're smart might be important for child development and performance in school.
Cheating and dishonesty are morally bad but most of the times this behavior leads to good outcome (but very bad sometimes). Looking at it another way, it's called hacking/gaming the system/bending the rules.

The results of the study show that kids are more likely to cheat, but they don't show it is bad for a successful and happy life.
I partially agree with you, but personal productivity varies. So in our company we have a rule "work as much as you like, usually we expect no less than 30 hours, but it is OK to do 50. Anything beyond these ranges is odd".
How were you able to swing a 30-hour a week job? Was it negotiated or are you consulting / setting your own hours?
8 health benefits of bitter leaf
I always see posts like this, talking about the negativity of long working hours, but I do get curious the percentage of jobs in each of the categories. Categories like:

- Forcing only 40 hour work weeks
- Not forcing, but expecting 40 hour work weeks
- Not forcing, but expecting overtime work weeks
- Forcing (or talking positively about) over 40 hour work weeks

All the blog posts and comments talk about how necessary those standard weeks are (I absolutely agree), but knowing the commonality of both would be great to see.

In my case, I'd guess forcing of 40 hour work weeks is more common than we think.
You don't like the introductory programming course?
I also struggle in this manner. If I don't grok something, I'm intensely motivated to work on/with it until I do. If I'm not careful though, that motivation completely disappears the moment I achieve a sense of an understanding of the topic.

Why would they do that? You don't seem to have shown any initiative or demonstrated how well you would take on extra responsibility.
I wonder about this a lot.

I can be highly productive in certain scenarios, and in others I can really drag on where others would be much faster than me. It's stuff like, I'm really good at code that involves math, I'm not so good at operations. Completely different, unrelated subject areas, but one is viewed as "harder" than the other, so if I can do one, I'm expected to be able to do the other. I often end up get a reputation for being a high-performer, because the stuff I'm good at often gets done during the initial proof-of-concept, and then start getting the screws tightened down on me from management in a really angry way as it appears I start slacking off when we hit the later-stages of a project that involve deployment management and other things that I'm just not very good at.

And it's other stupid shit, like, "if he's a whiz at JavaScript, he must be great at CSS and terrible at embedded systems." No, in this example, I'm the opposite.

Of course, it never occurs to them that maybe expecting everyone to do everything is not the right way to do things. I think, in sum total, I'm probably more skilled in a broader area of subjects than most people, but I'm not anywhere near skilled enough across every necessary subject for a full project to be able to pull one off on my own.

I don't want to focus on just one thing. I do think I provide a unique value by being very versatile. It should be used as a way to smooth over bumps in the project schedule while management rebalances staff or highers more people. I don't mind jumping from 3D graphics into web and database development, or whatever. I've always believed that all work is worth doing and none "beneath" me.

But too often, once I reveal I'm more capable than the original position to which I was hired, I'm expected to do everything, all at the same time. And that's when things get out of hand. It has at least always appeared like the people who keep their heads down and their mouths shut during meetings and don't volunteer anything beyond their job description have a much better time of their jobs.

EME published as a W3C Recommendation
I've tried teaching QGIS. As a long-time developer/OSS user, I greatly appreciate it as a community-driven piece of software. But I also recognize that such a paradigm comes with tradeoffs, including interfaces that feel welded on ad-hoc. I can get through it because I have decent experience with GIS concepts (through coding), but I understand why others can greatly struggle. Even setting it up (on OSX) can be a non-novice challenge.

I've moved to teaching CartoDB, because it has many of the features and it is based off of PostgreSQL and PostGIS. I already teach SQL so PostgreSQL is straightforward and doing GIS with SQL is a natural evolution. Carto is commercial and has its own opaqueness, so I might go back to QGIS.

But for folks who already know Python, I think being able to do GIS with code is hugely advantageous, without being overly cumbersome. R with ggplot2, is actually quite easy and graceful.

Seems to be implying that those who do choose to "take the offer" and pay for things anonymously _are_ doing something illegal. (E.g. The "nothing to hide" argument.)

Obviously that statement wasn't central to your point, but it likely rubbed a few people the wrong way regardless.

The desire for adults to see genius children is detrimental I believe. I too grew up with lots of praise although it wasn't family only. It didn't help me much. Especially since I was kept in normal schools at normal pace, so now I'm bored and spoiled. College slapped 90% of that out of me. I still feel like a genius occasionally and although feel like a fraud most of the time.

to add some value to the topic of education, what people call intelligence in children is often an ease for some abstraction and systematic thinking. While most kids are scattered and down to earth. But there will be subjects or times when even your(my) nice brain will fail to appreciate some idea or detail. Especially outside of your natural tastes.

It actually started as a side-job while studying. I actually increased to 30 hours/week over time from starting with 20 hours/week.

That said, I think most companies would be willing to find some agreement on reduced working hours if you've proven valuable too them. A friend of mine just recently switched to 32 hours/week over 4 days, after having started out at the company with a 40 hours job. It's really the best option for the company and yourself if one of the two parties isn't satisfied with the agreement anymore.

He also didn't anticipate zero-sum competition for inflexible goods like housing.

If everyone around me is making bank and I want the nice house, then I'd better make bank too.
