The current belief is a monetarist one: that more money in the economy, up to a certain degree, can lead to greater economic growth.

Hence, why low amount of inflation is considered a good thing, and sometimes used to measure the health of our economy.

This comes from a quantity theory of money -- MV = PQ, where M is the total amount of money in circulation, V is the velocity of money (or the amount of times it exchanges hand in a given year), and PQ is equal to GDP [1].

To understand this belief, we should consider 3 scenarios: deflation, low inflation, and high inflation.

In a deflationary economy, where 1 dollar today is worth more than 1 dollar tomorrow, people are incentivized to save. What follows is a decrease in M and or V, which has a detrimental multiplier effect on PQ. Under these circumstances, owning a business would be very hard as interest rates would be incredibly high.

Let's consider the opposite event -- high inflation. In a highly-inflation economy, where 1 dollar today is worth less than 1 dollar tomorrow, people would be incentivized to spend. This may initially sound like a good idea, with M and V increasing, and interest rates extremely low; but in a global economy, greater foreign demand for goods would drive up local prices, resulting in people unable to buy the goods and services they want. There's that other thing where wages are sticky, or not as reflexive to economic changes as prices are.

The happy medium is a low-inflation economy, where people are incentivized to spend and banks willing to loan, and saving money a low-risk activity.

Most of these interview tests are game-able, there are a few resources you need to study hard for and you’ll be able to pass the interview questions without many problems. This has the perverse effect of raising the bar since everyone is doing so great on the problems and filtering is needed! But in the end, you only select for who is better at studying for the interview, not who is a better developer. Fun stuff.

If you onboarded in a time before this, or you aren’t practicing for an interview, it is very likely you wouldn’t just pass the interview, like you wouldn’t likely pass a physics college exam right now even though you did when you were in school.
In this context, I intended "threat to humanity" to mean "a clear and present danger to the safety and security of human beings."

ISIS very intentionally kills people opposed to its goals. Google, by comparison, does not.

Whether Google is the origin story of a 1984-like dystopia is another question entirely.

>> ... hundreds of millions of dollar of equipment just sitting collecting dust

Much of that equipment, in a place like Canada, is a liability. It must be dealt with properly and that costs money, often far more than the equipment is worth. You cannot just leave stuff in the field. I'd be that many of these companies are happy to abandon oil equipment rather than transport and dispose of it properly.

The only reason saving it in a bank account is an investment is because more people are borrowing than saving, thus the bank makes money and gives you a share of the profits (that's your saving's interest). If everybody's saving, nobody gets any return on it and all that money does absolutely nothing for society at all.

I disagree. The US took the political stance as being neutral to appease the citizens, the population was for isolationism, while simultaneously changing imports/exports to drive the Japanese to attack us. The political elite wanted war, we were doing everything against the Japanese to start a war other than declare war. We put in place an oil embargo against the Japanese which forced them to attack, they knew with this embargo we were acting against our neutral stance and therefore wanted to destroy any chance of us joining the war, at least within a reasonable timeframe. Which is why they sunk our fleet at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese underestimated our ability to produce warships as well as the timeline we were able to enter the war.

It provides me with a certain comfort — a sense of meaning, if you will — to imagine that I'm contributing my infinitesimal bit to a Great Project. This might be just a personal emotional- or psychological quirk; I'm not too proud to accept placebo benefits, if that's what this is. If others find the Great Project concept useful or helpful, great. If someone comes up with something more plausible, I'm all ears.

Maybe it's just my experience, but I've never understood introducing the mental overhead of something like styled components. Why don't you just have one component per JS file and a stylesheet with the same name as the component in the same directory? That's quickly becoming the standard, at least in the circles I run in, and the reason is because it's (1) super easy to configure and (2) requires zero mental overhead.

Also worth noting that none of the five advantages listed are exclusive to Styled Components, but every one of its disadvantages is.

Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$250k

Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects and have a long term vision to build a stand-alone product in about a year. The future product will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future.
Who you are: You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

Technologies:

NodeJS / JavaScript

Babel / ES6

RDMS: MySQL / Postgres

Amazon Web Services: EC2, Lambda, CloudFront, S3

Those are all just rationalizations. They can't reflect anything intrinsic about suicide risk if they can't predict relative suicide rates outside the U.S.

Suicide is an epiphenomenon of larger socio-economic issues. Among OECD countries the U.S. comes in the middle of the pack. If guns were a causative factor, then considering how prevalent they are (by a ridiculous factor!) our rates should be much higher:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_in_the_United_States#/...
http://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/03/how-does-americas-suicid...
http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/health_glance-2011-en/01/...

Any correlation between guns and suicide in the U.S. is easily understood in terms of modeling--guns are how Americans kill themselves. Take away the guns and, yes, there'll be a dip in suicide rates, until Americans learn how people kill themselves elsewhere around the world. Heck, they're already learning that with opioids.

Let's go back to what I said about Australia. I claimed that the change in Australian suicide rates is better understood in terms of the unemployment rate. Now let's test that hypothesis. [... google google google ... ] Here we go:

Suicide has reached a 10-year high in Australia as 3027
people killed themselves last year, the largest cause of
death among 15 to 44-year-olds.

Last year, 12.6 people in every 100,000 killed themselves
compared to 12 the year before, 11.4 in 2012 and a low of
10.4 in 2006.

-- http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/suicide-rate-in-australia-reaches-10year-high/news-story/cb5d8384aadb571778775bda236f3c35

What was the rate in 1995, the year before the gun control law? 13.0. (https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Depart...)

So suicides were at their lowest the very same year that unemployment was at its lowest (2006)? Check! And they rose as unemployment rose? Check! To the point where they're back at the pre-law level? Check!

I won't deny that there's some nuance here that we can tease out, but if you read the actual papers that link guns to suicide, they do a much worse job at nuance. In fact, not a single one of the papers I've read even considered the unemployment rate. Which is patently bad science.

Correlation is not causation. All the gun suicide papers do is point out specious correlations. But you don't need a degree in statistics to know this. And you don't need a science degree to be able to see the gargantuan holes in these arguments--that the correlations have simpler explanations.

I'm not denying that gun control could appreciably effect suicide rates. Imitation and modeling have huge effects--much more well-established than the supposed gun effect. So huge that even news media abstain from reporting suicides, especially methods of suicide. Saving thousands of lives with gun control, even if it's an ephemeral gain, is an absolute benefit that's worth debating about. But let's just be honest about this stuff.
We’re hiring a generalist web dev if anyone in London is looking for something early-stage. We’re working on making hiring less awful, with the dual goal of increasing company performance and reducing structural inequality. We have funding, customers and revenue. Female scientist CEO.

> but there are many keto proponents that argue that controlling for calories, keto still produces superior outcomes

The high fat, low carbs position is that excessive carbs create an endocrine disorder where the body is storing incoming calories in fatty tissue, thus making it unavailable as energy. This causes the body to respond in two ways: 1) eating more food, and 2) expending less energy. The key is that the energy balance equation has two variables, not one. There is the amount of calories that are consumed and then the amount of calories that are expended.

So, it is correct to say that a ketogenic diet, when compared to another diet consisting of the same number of calories, cannot lead to more weight loss as a result of calorie intake. But the ketogenic diet could, in theory, produce comparatively more weight loss by fixing the endocrine system disorder and allowing calories stored in fatty tissue to be used as energy. This would manifest itself as the person on the ketogenic diet being more active and feeling like they have more energy.

I'm not saying that this is, in fact, what is happening, just that it is a plausible theory. In my opinion, the theoretical underpinnings of the low carb, high fat hypothesis seem more plausible to me, but neither side can actually claim that the science supports them, because the studies that need to be done (randomized controlled trials of various types of diets), have simply never been done.
That it's essentially legal for "the intelligence community" to do this sort of thing is insane.
