Apply for contract work. Ask for it from recruiters who contact you. There's plenty out there in the UK, as long as you look. It's easy enough to get set up with an Ltd in 2-3 business days for everything you need, so don't worry about applying for stuff. Just manage your permanent role's notice period - contracts are generally looking for folks in a short time frame.
Hit the down arrow key and some javascript is exposed. Was that intentional I wonder?
All of it.

The idea of (seemingly) having never explored other places. He graduated and immediately joined Intel and never left.

Maybe he was happy-as-a-clam there but spending your entire adult life having (seemingly) never taken a risk.

There is obviously a lot of assumption and judgement to this though.
HEX: A No Framework Approach to Building Modern Web Apps
It's not about superior tech. Devs don't care. Electron let's developers use all the library and frameworks that they are familiar with, that's what that matters.

I hate Electron apps but I can see why people do it. It's very tempting to be able write desktop apps with the web's best frontend technologies.
uhhhh this is no different than venture capital or any revered seed or angel stage investor.

I feel like AWS is already seeing threats. In the timeframe of 5-10 years, absolutely will that space look quite different.

Personally, I find AWS' interface to be super clunky. In fact, I find all of Amazon's interfaces (AWS, Amazon.com, the Amazon iOS app, to name a few) to really be poor examples of UX.
So all states are corrupt equally and there’s no point in having a discussion about it? Is that your assertion?

> That said, I think The Atlantic is wrong in placing blame on Google when they themselves engage in questionable journalism (clickbait as well as often biased news-source).

The atlantic and the rest of traditional media just wants google to link their clickbait stories. It's ultimately all about money.

> using an obvious outlier to promote their pov.

As per usual. I wonder how the atlantic would like google to us the outlier ( rolling stones UVA story ) to ban all traditional media.

At the end of the day, this guy has to write something so that the atlantic would pay him. So he just went to his normal story. The guy is no more informed than the rest of us. He just gets paid to write silly stories.
For a while there, one such feature was ZFS. I know ZOL is a thing, and the pool versions are the same, but I'd bet ZFS on FreeBSD is still more stable/standard than ZOL. (It's been a while since I tried to learn the differences between ZOL/ZFS under FreeBSD so that could be out of date)

Talk to a lawyer and don't follow this blindly. In most cases, this is a bad idea and Family LLCs, entities within entities, offshore trusts or corporations, and other such things in estate planning often border on scams themselves. A very simple living trust that holds assets, with instructions on what happens if you become disabled is probably most of the protection that the vast majority of people need (disclaimer: this is not legal advice, I am not a lawyer).

It doesn't help when people who have explicitly called for an in-between solution get called "gungrabbers". I also support the right to bear arms - some arms, some places, perhaps subject to some conditions or requirements. But because I don't toe the NRA line, I get called names. Maybe part of the solution would be people matching their rhetoric to their intentions, instead of saying one thing and doing another.
The value of the systems built by Google and Facebook and the quality/legitimacy of news from these systems is pretty much dependent on the users. The feeds are built by what users share. A platform is only as good as the people contributing to it.

When it is known that insanity in individuals is rare but in groups, nations, epochs (and also internet) it is the rule - do not look at google/facebook news feeds to be sources of valid information. If we all are smart and intelligent enough to use these systems wisely, the benefits are enormous. But it also allows trolls and people who want to create confusion to operate with freedom.

For no or 0 money you will obviously get poor quality news. You need editors to verify sources and then put them in print or online. Go and pay an online newspaper so their editors will have jobs to do what you expect and they do not need to publish click-bait articles just for ad money so that their firm can make money.
I think regulations are certainly warranted, but the ones the FDA has implemented are heavy handed. I don't think anyone in the industry is opposed to common sense regulations.
>he Austrian government claimed that a safe return would be impossible without a specially designed case to protect it from the vibrations caused by flight.

The damage argument seems pretty self-serving. Even if there was damage during the flight, how much would happen and how much couldn't be repaired? I suspect anything done on a flight could be restored just fine.

There's definitely a ship of theseus aspect with artifacts. I imagine most of things of this class have been worked over many times. Adding another layer of damage and restoration to bring it back to its rightful home seems like a reasonable price.
It's a FOSS project. Typically, FOSS operating systems differentiate on system features/applications and not on 3rd party applications. Things like package management, file system support, etc.
Interesting that your aunt cared for their mother for 30 years, drawing a small compensation rate, and your mother just took an interest in grandmother's care decades later when her inheritance started to dwindle.
Isn't this kind of something that might be phased out in the next few years. I'd imagine there would be some kind of web tool doing authentication like this at some point just because of how obsolete sms seems these days. Correct me if I am wrong though.
Cloud Firestore has native support for the "GeoPoint" data type and will eventually have support for native geo queries without any external library.

For this reason we are not going to invest in making a GeoFire library for Cloud Firestore and spend that effort getting the native functionality ready.

(a) In the short run, a good job generally gives much better financial returns than a startup. From the overall vibe of your post, I would say don't startup unless you have a compelling drive to startup.

(b) Stay sharp. Don't depend on "bigco" to manage your career/skills for you.

(c) Spend wisely, Save wisely. There's no silver bullet there. Of course all the savings might not be enough for certain cases, but that holds true for both bigco and small biz. Don't become a slave of your lifestyle while the going is good for you whether it is a small-biz or a bigco job.
Because it stops innovation.

Ni200 which is a pure nickel wire was invented for temperature control. Required a specific device and chip to use as it has almost 0 resistance. Some stupid uneducated people or vendors sold it and and used it in non temperature controlled devices and poisoined themselves (not fatally), or blew up their batteries on non-regulated devices.

I just started vaping last month, and while I bought some kanthal wire, I also bought some ni200 and Titanium wire, which is dangerous if not used correctly. I personally didn't know, but also didn't use it until I looked it up.

With that said, ni200 wire did invent temperature control, which is a method of vaping these days.
Alternative medicine, the alternative to medicine.
In other words, you have absolutely no idea if a state experiences "consciousness" in the philosophical sense, so instead have claimed that it doesn't simply because it is too different from you to receive the benefit of the doubt, even though you recognize that such an assertion is impossible within an empirical framework.

That is if working literally means; working.

Steve Jobs died soon after he retired. And working at (nearly) the same company / dreams his entire adult life. Or more like he was forced to retire due to his health.

But Apple Park. As if He wasn't gonna let death get in the way of his Dream.

From reading books and listening to his talks he gave on life, I am sure he didn't regret it one bit.

“I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” - Steve Jobs.
This is disgusting. It's their assets and it should be handled in the way(s) they determined when they had full control of their faculties. Anything short of that is fraud, theft, and saying "what's wrong with that?" to someone just stealing money from a parent is horrible.
Just out of curiosity, because I really do not know how this type of marketing works best. Is there not a a potential risk of users getting used to having it for free, and a potential advantage to introduce the idea of this being a paid product early?

FWIW that's impressive to me. Apple is probably one of their larger customers, and the deal could've gone to AMD instead.

Business accomplishments can be worth praising.

I don't think he's making the argument that on principle there should never be any e-cigs regulations because cigarettes are harmful.

The algebra for e-cig regulation is
# of people saved by regulation
- # of people killed by regulation(people who smoke more cigarettes because of the increased cost, and decreased variety of e-cigs)

And because cigarettes are sooooo dangerous even a small increase in smoking can causes the second term to overwhelm the first.
It really depends on your market and who your investor targets are. If you're in a hot market and looking to play the VC game, you're probably looking at something more in the $3M-$4M range for a seed round if you're outside the Bay Area and raising from VC's. On the other hand, if you're soliciting angels or micro VC's and don't see yourself going down the VC path, the valuation is likely to be lower in the single digit millions.

Stock awards are a contentious subject. My personal preference is vesting RSU's if the valuation is low at the time of the grant. I'm sure other will disagree. When the valuation is higher, the tax implications for both RSU's an options become a problem. IMO options are better for the company long term but worse for the employees, while RSU's are harder on the employee in the short term but better for them in the long run.

I think a benefit to asking a question a student can't answer yet ("What is an atom?") is that it gets students accustomed to saying "I don't know". Which every student (whether young or old) needs to be able to say. By admitting a lack of knowledge, and not feeling self-conscious about it, the next step is to fill in the gap. In the Schemer books that's what the next series of questions (almost?) always seem to do, with a final question ("What is an atom?"). And now the student can answer it.

A secondary benefit is that, should you already have some basics, you can often figure out which portions you can skip over by how well your answer matches the one in the book.
This article, a puff piece about Rodin (which, really, do we need more of that, 100+ years later?) fails to acknowledge that Camille Claudel was intricately part of Rodin's success and artistic breakthroughs. Some argue that she may have made many of the works he was famous for when she was 18. The author never once mentions her, even though any one with a hint of art history interest in this period would know that at minimum she was his "muse."

He literally never mentions her.

But I and others would argue that Rodin stole techniques and inspiration from Camille Claudel. She was never in her lifetime recognized as a great artist (or at the least, Rodin's equal), even though it was clear to him and many others that she as an incredible talent.

French art society routinely rejected her work and refused to give her commissions.

The narrative is that after their 10 year tryst she "went mad" and was committed to an institute where she died, which might sound like a familiar historical narrative to you, especially about talented women during this time period.

Articles like this wash women in history out of the conversation and are gross. They find the bits of history they want to celebrate and ignore the harder truths that led to a fascinating (but tragic) creative process.

> America's national interest is tightly linked to whether or not it's able to attract tech talent from around the world. No law forbids US tech companies from doing that.

That's not correct. Basis for seeking authorization for a currently non-authorized worker is inability to find a currently authorized worker to do this job. Note, it is not an american worker. It is someone who hold a current work authorization such as:

American citizens

Permanent residents

Holders of work authorization paperwork

Machine Guns Are Legal: A Practical Guide to Full Auto
>“You can’t just walk into somebody’s home and take them!” Belshe told her.

>Parks responded calmly, “It’s legal. It’s legal.”

Years ago in college, my friend was depressed, and as a coping mechanism would sometimes write suicide notes. He'd read them and realize he wasn't quite at that point and it would help him get along. It was a process.

Anyway, somehow some of his notes were discovered, he was arrested (I still don't know the details here) and put into some weird absurd protective custody thing in a psychiatric hospital. I was allowed to see him exactly once. The one time I managed to get in he looked like shit. Bags under the eyes, light gone, just, hollow. He said they forced him to take these anti anxiety meds that make him feel like a zombie, that if he didn't take them and admit he needed medication, they wouldn't let him out. But he wasn't "earnest" enough about his treatment and so he still couldn't get out of that hellscape.

After about ten days of being unable to contact him, being stonewalled by the cops and the doctors (working with his parents, who were out of state and just as confused/frustrated), I completely snapped. I loaded my remington and 2 boxes of shells into my truck and was planning on driving straight into the lobby of the hospital and forcefully removing him. I was furious but remember having a clear plan - wasn't going to shoot anyone, figured the truck through the lobby plus a crazy fucker in a mask with a shotgun would force their hand and let him go and then we'd drive to mexico or some shit. Consequences be damned, silly fucking laws be damned, I was getting my friend out. I was tossing my gunbag into the back when I got a call on my cell from him saying he finally got out and needed a ride.

God only knows if I had gone through with it, maybe I would have come to my senses in the parking lot, I can only hope. All I know is that there was nothing more frustrating or infuriating I have ever experienced than watching him go through it and being completely stonewalled. I've had friends go to jail and I've gone to jail and that's fair, that makes sense. There's a process. There's bail. You broke a written rule and you spend some time for it. You get to talk to a judge. The judge gives you rules and you follow them and you get out.

But where he was, there was no rules. You are in at the whim of the doctor and you get out at the whim of the doctor.

I imagine the daughter felt something very similar here - where's the process? Who's the authority? Where are the rules written down and when did she agree to them? How could that daughter have protected herself and her family from some absurd hidden legalese?

What's wrong with one sibling stealing a parent's accumulated wealth while they are still alive and not leaving it for the other siblings? Quite a lot.
I’ve spoken with my father just once in the last 15 years or so, and that 9 years ago. It happens, not all people are good parents, not all relationships can or should be healed. I doubt I’ll speak to him again before he dies, that could be tomorrow, it could be in 20+ years. I’ve made my peace.

Does that mean my childhood was “pretty horrible”? Parts of it weere, and I’m not sure that there is a calculus of human experience that would allow me to calculate a net horribleness quotient. But even with my father I remember happy and sweet moments.
Here's my metric: I do complicated merges once in a while. If Beyond Compare (price = 60$) helps me resolve the conflicts in few minutes, of what used to take an hour of cursing and sweating, I pay them and consider the money well spent, because I can spend that hour (and a lot of others) that the tool freed up for me, earning money. The tool pays for itself basically.

The original riddle about the tree in a forest is intended to illustrate the difference between philosophical idealism and materialism.

A dog whistle depends on the concepts of dogs and whistles, which don’t exist outwith the human semantic framework.

Hardly. As I pointed out she isn't asking for anything logically impossible - that's just a conservative-minded assumption from people tethered to the status quo :) What's new is that they are talking about regulating the internet just as they regulate the radio spectrum, transport infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, the media, or anything else which meaningfully impacts the country. In principle, the UK government has the power and authority to block Facebook and Google and develop their own fully tapped and controlled platforms just as China has done. The question being put by the UK government is what is technically possible between that extreme and the status quo where you have foreign companies doing what they want, and what is politically acceptable.
Then you haven't been paying attention:

I removed everything from my account about 6 or so years ago, and instead of deleting it just stopped logging in completely. So far not a single E-mail from them. I'm afraid to log back in even if to simply delete the account, because I don't want to "tickle the tiger" and suddenly start being treated as a user...

Same for Twitter. I signed up once a long, long time ago, and maybe tweeted once and never logged in again. Occasionally I get E-mails from them about people (bots?) who "follow" me despite my inactivity. It's likely because my twitter handle is pretty short and an actual name, so probably some people get confused and follow the wrong person.
Getting in a few weeks earlier on a multi-year project doesn't seem like much additional risk.
I think your problem is with your mentality of "my money" when it comes to you vs your children. I cannot even understand that to be honest.

In cultures where children are expected to take care of their aging parents, it is pretty much a foregone conclusion that the child who ends up taking care of them gets to inherit most of the estate.
Wow. Saddens me. I had the opportunity to meet Paul a couple of times when I worked at Intel. Paul always impressed me as a great executive and a great person.

I have long believed that Paul is the best post-Grove CEO that Intel has had. Otellini was as good of a CEO as Grove, better in certain ways (consumer marketing instincts). His tenure was not as long as Grove's and is under-appreciated for that reason only.

99.99% of people on this site will die and their employers won't care at all (whether they should or not is another story). I'd say if he worked hard and long enough to get recognition he was probably pretty happy with what he did and/or the outcome of his efforts.
Disagree. Just because they are business accomplishments doesn't mean that they are without value. He likely worked incredibly hard to achieve those results. Why shouldn't they be recognized along with his mentoring and philanthropic works?
