I'm not asking for excellent decision making skills. I'm not even asking great, or even good decision making skills, for that matter. I'm just asking for a young adult to not approach an investment in education in the worst way possible.

A part of you has to be kidding when you ask "who is that smart," or "who is that aware," or at least I hope so. If you are 17 and cannot understand that some jobs are in higher demand than others, you have lived a very disconnected life (generally symptomatic of being a well-to-do suburbanite). If you are 17 and do not realize that this world will constantly need huge amounts of engineers, HVAC technicians, programmers, diesel mechanics, and the like for the foreseeable future, you have spent almost 20 years somehow ignoring the wonders of the modern world around you.

I had pretty much settled on working in either software development or network engineering by the time I was 13. The IBEW would be my next stop if that didn't pan out, but I never let it come close to that. I know multiple people that began developing a passion for their field around the same age as I did. I know many more people (some from unforgiving upbringings) that graduated high school, realized that they needed to make a move fast, and picked a growing field that they knew there was money in. It isn't hard, but you have to accept that you will be rewarded for committing to something in-demand quickly and decisively, even if you would rather be a rock star.

You're taking my mention of suburban-liberalism and running somewhere completely different with it. My point wasn't that college is some "feminist snowflake" plot to dupe the unsuspecting young adults of the US. What I'm trying to say is that it takes a special sort of lifestyle to make blanket claims about how any and all education will lead you to success. Tell an impoverished resident of an inner city how much you've spent on a theater degree and they will ask why you didn't spend it on immediate necessities. Tell a rural resident how much you spent on your theater degree and they will ask why you didn't enlist, become a lineman, a millwright, or a nurse. Only somebody who hasn't experienced the urban jungle or the desolation of the agriculture and manufacturing industries can sincerely act like you can get any old college degree and have it be worth your time and money. It requires you to be progressive enough to at least superficially care, but naive and disconnected enough to not understand the reality.

I don't look at students wanting a better life and working toward it with ire and derision. I am fairly irked by grown adults wanting a better life, being mentally mature enough to understand what that takes, doing something else, and wondering how this all could have possibly happened. Our "what now" is basically to tell these students to cut their losses and go through the whole process again, this time in a field that will net them decent work, while their classmates have a six year jump on them. This is a future we can avoid if we stop acting like every degree will lead to viable work.

IAS Kaise Bane – IAS in Hindi – Indian Administrative Service
This near exact scenario happened to me today.

I had disabled Facebook about 3 weeks ago. For good measure, I went ahead and deleted all apps, history, or any method by which I might wander back.

Needless to say I was a bit thrown off this morning by the slew of “welcome back to Facebook” texts from my friends. I assured them somebody had created a false account, but sure enough there I was seemingly alive and well with an active profile.

The only explanation I can think of is that an application or service attempted to authenticate via Facebook connect- if this is enough to reactive an account, it damn well shouldn’t be.

Given that social media has overtaken reality for most, it feels a lot like a company unknowingly took my life and ran with it. It’s a bit eerie to scroll through a feed of your friends trying to reach you, and living your life without you. For a few days, Facebook was a more believable authority on my life than I was.

Some of the reason for obesity might be fast food but some of it is just rising incomes along with unique cultural things.

For example, in the Philippines, you look healthy if you are chubby and people show concern if you are skinny. People encourage you to eat until you feel full. The food is generally fattening, but poor Filipino's can only afford enough that they won't get fat. Much of the fattening dishes are reserved for special events. Back in the day, a bottle of coke was a special thing. Now people can afford to keep the fridge always stocked.

ETA: Fast food restaurants are relatively high-end. Even then, the food is relatively expensive. I see a lot of Filipino's ordering drinks and then sharing the biggest order of fries on the menu.
One thing people keep thinking is this is somehow a "poor" people problem. This is true when looked through a developed country citizen perspective - in terms of lifestyle. But please read the article before applying the same standard here.

In developing countries KFC and McDonald are costly. Not everyone, specially the poor, can afford it. For the people who can afford it, the upscale nature, clean-looking environment and the lure of eating something "western" is the driving factor.
> We can follow it to it's logical conclusion because it happens all the time. People get fired for unpopular opinions frequently.

In most of the Western World that would be illegal and you'd have a clear cut wrongful termination case.

> I am getting the impression that you see a clear line between what belongs at work and what belongs at home. How do you define it?

Most of it is incredibly clear, what I do at home or while I'm not representing the company is none of the companies business, what I do at work is the companies business, there are only a few places where the line is blurred. The first is posting from company property (like I'm doing now), I'd say this should be either completely prohibited or allowed, and if it's allowed they shouldn't be able to police what I say. The second is on social media, companies and governments have definitely pushed beyond what should be allowed here, anything I post on facebook is only relevant to the company if I'm representing them or divulging private information. The third is lunch room or water cooler chatter, I'd argue people should be allowed to share their opinions here, but it's blurry enough that most people just stay away from anything remotely controversial in these environments.

But there is nothing special about that McDonalds food. In India, you can buy street food which is way more caloric that a Big Mac. Fried starchy food, loads of cheese, salty sauces. And they are just as addictive as the McDonalds stuff... probably more addictive given how awesome and flavorful some of them are.
It sounds like the projects you've been working on have been pretty small; it's not always the case that you'll be able to hold all, or even most, of the pieces of a real project at once. Programming courses have to give you toy projects for time and scope, but should try to instill habits that will serve you when you start working on something real and complex.
Its hard to tell over the internet, but if you are being sarcastic please let me know. I have no problem with clarifying further.

> Using Latin phrases in law still feels too much like medieval clergy only reading the Bible in Latin and telling the laypeople to trust them.

It's a technical term with a fixed definition. It's not being interpreted, and it doesn't matter if it's English, Latin, or a drawing of a flower.

A lay person being able to guess at the meaning is a minor benefit in some situations, but people guess wrong all the time about how laws work. The end result is a pretty negligible difference.

And looking like normal words without actually being normal words can actually be a detriment to understanding.

related to this: I got a "someone has your password" from Google and they blocked access...diff country, different device.

My question: Now I assume that one way or another they got that from Google or from one of the many hacked forums /websites (yeah, I used the same id+password in many sites). Do they try to login manually or try 10000 at a time via bots? I doubt they they went manual since they must have millions of accounts. id my user name was cpowell or hclinton I suppose but....
This exact same thing happened with my grandmother. My dad's brother is a scumbag and took it upon himself to spend her money while ostensibly taking care of her (the kind of care you'd expect from abusive alcoholic). My dad wanted my grandmother to actually spend her money on an elderly care facility, because she would have been much happier there among people as opposed to being essentially alone for the last 15 years of her life. But, her social reticence and my uncle's persistent guilt tripping kept her at home. It's a little hard to prove over the internet who was right or wrong in these cases, but I assure everyone that I could tell a few stories about my uncle that would leave absolutely no doubt.

As noted in the article, I'm suggesting that the shell itself should able to handle searching a stream for NULs, without this roundabout way of doing things:

count-nul() {
# -o puts every match on its own line. (grep -o -c doesn't work.)
od -A n -t x1 | grep -o '00' | wc -l
}

You can do this in Python or Perl, but it's not a stretch for the shell to do it directly.

Given that his claim has no citations or data to back it up, I think the default position is to reject it as anecdotal at best and bad faith at worst.

Microsoft and Apple are busy open sourcing huge swathes of their software. (.NET alone has huge enterprise penetration). So I cannot see how it can be true whatsoever.

The meal was taken as a reference only. All three things you mentioned would mostly still go into the category of fast foods.

Thanks a lot for asking this. I actually find myself looking somewhat in the same direction without really having found a clear path. But a lot of good answers here that I will look further into.

Tldr from the sidebar at the end (although it wasn't very long and it was worth reading):

We should stop describing these modern marvels as proto-humans and instead talk about them as a new generation of flexible and powerful machines. We should be careful about how we deploy and use AI, but not because we are summoning some mythical demon that may turn against us. Rather, we should resist our predisposition to attribute human traits to our creations and accept these remarkable inventions for what they really are—potent tools that promise a more prosperous and comfortable future.

What about Nobel prizes in peace, those are plenty absurd too.
I think that moving forward we need to preserve all Nobel prizes for posterity, otherwise they are in danger of reductive values subject to fiat currencies of the dollar values of awards. The best place for this type of currency storage is always by converting to smart contracts.

Smart contracts provide the necessary certainty that comes with binding and unchangeable code, even if it hasn't had the opportunity to be audited for correctness. If some unfortunate Nobel prize winners don't see the full value of their smart contracts, due to ethereum gas, any issues will always be fixed in the smart contracts for subsequent winners. Open Source Blockchains have been shown to be double blind statistical anomalies that always get fixed sooner or later.
I'm very happy that you made a thoughtful reply, I was getting into a fairly long discussion with a coworker about James Damore and how women fit into a modern tech workplace. I think the most disappointing thing about that whole ordeal was that a lot of potential discussion was instantly shutdown by a few people. Anyways that is me sidetracking.

I'll have to read the first two links later - super busy right now - but I have heard before (and seen a few times) that assertiveness is often termed as aggressiveness in women which is horribly unfortunate. I also do think that I really simplified the issue a lot in my previous post, partly because I don't have all of these experiences or talk with much people who do (at least in tech). I can see how having more women speak about their experiences openly can help other people understand although it's such a hard issue because what if they get identified at their workplace..

Ugh surprise dates sound like the absolute worst. I know quite a few women who have stories about this in and out of tech. I strongly agree with you that having more women in the workplace and as leaders will combat a lot of these issues. I also agree that we don't need to lower the bar to do this. It has been my own personal experience that social norms and expectations from peers can really destroy people who otherwise would be at the top of their field.

I should've been more specific and was strictly referring to nurses. The only reason I brought it up is because during school I met some nurses and heard some horror stories about men becoming nurses. Particularly in social situations men aren't 'respected' if they are a nurse which is a silly norm since they are working on the floor in a high impact job saving people's lives. I do recognize that there is another issue with women not holding influential positions where they can have a large affect on culture.
Sure but presumably, two judges scheduled events pertaining to the same attorney at the same time.

I took the question to ask more or less, "Is their any judicial obligation to avoid scheduling conflict, when the attorney is already obligated to be present at a different court-related function".

I assume this is usually granted by courtesy, but a fed up judge has no obligation to do so.

> There's nothing wrong with RiseUp being leftist

There's something wrong with injecting ideology into everything, that is, dividing everything in the world into what supports your ideology and what doesn't, making all judgments based on it, and shunning all who don't share your ideology. All must prove their purity and loyalty or be excommunicated.

It's a very dangerous approach, and a quick glance at history books will tell you what's at the end of this path.

There are other priorities and issues in the world. Many who don't share your ideology do important things, deserve support, and in fact it's important to all of us to have a diversity of opinions in the world. Personally, I'm not so sure in my beliefs that I would rule out all the others.

> Logistically, something like that could save the post office a bunch of money

Debatable for lack of data. Remember, the post office doesn't do special delivery runs just for you, rather to make deliveries to everyone on a route. If your neighbors are still asking for their mail, then the post office still has to pay for labor + gas + vehicle maintenance to make the deliveries, they just skip your house.

What you'd actually have to do is JIT dynamically figure out the daily delivery route, and see if doing so would allow the post office to employ fewer delivery people to cover a smaller number of overall daily deliveries. Of course, theoretically speaking that's relatively simple - but in the real world, different localities will derive different levels of benefit (including possibly zero) and it's a very expensive system to build to find out how much benefit would be derived.

> [YC] need to make the argument [that their investment in the marijuana industry] isn't white people getting rich on the back of black lives

Sorry, I don't quite understand. Which of these is your view:

1. YC/Meadow is harming black people by connecting marijuana-buyers to doctors and dispensaries.

2. YC/Meadow are more responsible for the problems caused by the marijuana industry than the rest of us, simply because they interact with it more. You're not obligated to help all those people harmed in the marijuana industry, but YC/Meadow is.

If you hold the second view, I'm curious whether you'd find this article[0] on "the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics" convincing. Excerpt:

> The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics says that when you observe or interact with a problem in any way, you can be blamed for it. At the very least, you are to blame for not doing more. Even if you don’t make the problem worse, even if you make it slightly better, the ethical burden of the problem falls on you.
