Definitely not, but you should steer clear of the baseline jobs at large corporations. They usually have generic titles like "Software Developer" or "[Technology] Engineer" (iOS Engineer, Android Engineer, Front-End Engineer, Node.js Engineer, whatever). Those jobs are designed to be filled with recent graduates who will be doing rote implementation work using a specific technology. They'll give you a pointless whiteboard interview where you're quizzed on things that you learned at college but will have nothing to do with the actual work.

Don't be pegged down to a specific technology box, because at 40 you've probably already seen plenty of them come and go. Use that experience to an advantage. Either get into consulting or work with startups that need a wider perspective.
>Of course, their lifestyle probably maintains the healthiest gut flora around as well.

Is there any science behind that statement or is it just a sort of naturalistic fallacy?
I don't think the line you're trying to draw is easy -- or even possible -- to draw.

What about cities that were originally segregated via red-lining, but now remain extremely segregated along those same geographic lines today even after those policies have been eliminated? Is that systemic racism?

In almost all cases, systemic racism is caused by a complex mix of historical racism, contemporary racism, and rational economic choices that aren't taken with explicit racial intent but none-the-less help sustain the inertia of the system.
Yes, Bitcoin is fucking greedy to begin with - especially considering the climate change problem. No, they are not wasting energy per-se in this instance:

> The country has more than 2,000 small stations, many of them sitting idle because of low wholesale power prices and an absence of state support.

That's not to mention the energy disposal problem that you have to deal with when the majority of your energy is renewable - POW is a good way to get rid of unused energy. Given that Bitcoin isn't going away, much like anything else where greed is concerned, this is a fantastic development.

> find a way to mine coins that uses less electricity

Attack SHA-256. That's the only option we have now. People sure-as-hell aren't going to move away from a tech which they believe is printing free money (I have some otherwise very smart friends who are mining coins with GPUs).
Right, its all about how people outside of Twitter perceived the checkmark. Twitter made it worse for themselves, because people are just going to find sexist/racist tweets from verified people and get Twitter to un-verify them via negative clickbait PR.
It's not necessarily wasted energy if it's being used for something, and in Bitcoin's case it's being used to ensure the integrity of the network.
Using green energy means that the byproduct of the energy used by the Bitcoin network is becomes safer for the environment, which is a great thing.
I'm actually coming at it from an enterprise sales side.

And sure it's harder to measure a branding campaign in any medium (though people certainly still do it). You don't necessarily care about clicks at all in that scenario. Brands have been figuring out ways to measure the effectiveness of campaigns on offline sales since long before the internet.

Click fraud is an issue for the industry, but it's a small one. It's simply not true that "most clicks" are fraud. And, in any event, digital ad spend continues to grow. So if Buzzfeed and Vice are in a slump it's not because advertisers are shying away from digital.
It has happened. The digital media companies haven't all closed, though some have most recently gothemist and dnainfo, but many have been hollowed out with fewer reporters putting out many more much worse articles (often re-written press releases at best).
I haven’t written anything myself, but I can point you to https://beta.proofdashboard.com it’s the platform I used to experiment, first creating tokens for free on their blockchain and then on the Ethereum blockchain when I felt comfortable with Ethereum wallets/smart contracts/exchanges.

Funny enough I believe the initial iteration of Proofsuite was specifically to subdivide real estate with asset backed tokens, but they launched with a great number of tools to create your own tokens. I would also recommend their YouTube videos/tutorials.

As to generating a lawsuit for performance art...the short answer is: do not do that. If there is a real and actual controversy that is one thing, but - and I can’t stress this enough - consult a lawyer. Playing fast and loose with the courts can result in dismissal of cases with prejudice and even court ordered sanctions. There is probably room for anyone who has purchased an asset backed token to file a declaratory judgement, basically where the court determines the legal rights of the parties without an actual order or award of damages - still you would want to consult an attorney in your jurisdiction first.
If they have no existing product on the market to Osborne then pre-announcing the product is fine and probably good if it depresses sales to competitors.
Depends where exactly you live and what kind of companies you work for. I see older programmers and developers around. It tends to be expected that you work more independently including communication with other departments/customers.

A lot of people leave on their own before they get old through. Some burn out due to bad luck or wrong choice of employer. If you buy into believe that development must be late night thing, then you are likely to burn out and then seek different profession instead of just different employer.

Many many guys actually seek non-development positions that are sort of "infected" with a bit of tech. So they become managers, analysts, those architects that do just documents etc. This is where most people seem to leave. That sort of work creeps into your job more and more regardless as you age, simply because less experienced people often can really do it and it tends to be critical.
> someone providing a service now has to do a lot of extra work if they want to get paid, whereas a user who wants to pay someone doesn't

Exactly. This system makes things easier on users at the expense of making it harder on creators. I think that's kinda the point though.

If your funding method relies on consumers essentially donating their money to you, it's extremely important to make that experience as seamless for them as possible. Patreon is great, but it does require users to go out of their way and make a conscious decision to fund _you_ specifically. That's a lot of extra effort that person has to go through just to give their money away to a random site they happened to visit for a couple hours that month.

With this system however the user just signs up for a single service _once_ and subscribes, and that's the full extent their involvement. The trade-off is that the content creator is now the one who has to go through the extra effort of setting up an account on this service, but unlike content consumers, the creator actually has an incentive to go through that process (free money) which makes it worthwhile for them.
"Pivot to video"

I just picture the TV in Idiocracy with the video ads all around it.

Is that what we really want to move to?
Exactly.

Ownership ledgers are significant because they have a legal basis and state enforcement to back them up.
If the best case scenario is Bitcoin hits $1,000,000 per coin and never moves again, why would anyone ever put more money into it?

The only value Bitcoin has is appreciation. If it ever becomes stable it will necessarily be worthless.

Amazon kneecapped this product before it even came out. Nobody who has used both Siri and Alexa thinks Siri can compete as a virtual assistant, so all this thing had going for it was sound quality, and then Amazon announced the Sonos One. Barring a huge improvement in Siri, I don’t think even Apple die-hards are going to buy this in large numbers.

This isn't analogous to collecting donations for a charity and then making a bulk donation. It's analagous to collecting donations for a charity, taking a cut of those donations for your troubles, and then depositing those donations in your bank account until the charity you supposedly collected for comes and asks for them.

Not merely microphones though, but also privacy at a whole.

The other reason is the WWII history.

Das Leben der Anderen is a very good movie with a sublime cast (including Sebastian Koch), but hardly entertaining. A somewhat entertaining movie about the GDR (DDR) is Goodbye Lenin [1], starring Daniel Brühl (Bruehl). Both movies are primary dramatic though.

I can also recommend any movie starring Jürgen Vogel [2] (Juergen). The subjects movies he's in touches upon are often thought-provoking. Although also, usually drama. I can highly recommend German cinema, I hold the authenticity of German cinema in high regard.

As a consumer, the direct relationship between me and the content creator is much more important to me than those other issues. Those "other parties" other issues are actually between the various content creators, sponsors, and platform providers, and aren't really my problem. I'm quite tired of those other parties interposing themselves into my relationship with creators.
I think many users would like to worry at least a bit about "is that money I'm sending actually getting to guy/gal I want to have it" - I hope that's transparent to them. I'd hate for my small donations to create more paperwork than necessary.
Exactly. Until distributed ledgers or blockchains are considered as part of "the law of the land", they have no standing in ownership matters.

All supported ZFS configurations. Copy-on-write means that the metadata for the new blocks is not written until all of the new blocks are committed.
If an encyclopedia said the Earth is 6000 years old, and starts "Evolutionists fallaciously think that billions of years of time makes particles-to-people evolution possible", as the top hit when Googling "how old is the Earth" says, then yes, throw out that encyclopedia.

Being fallible is one thing, but Google's algorithm is misrepresenting scientific belief because an extremist group are the only ones who will pay for SEO about the subject.

In what regard? That they have no right of privacy? That people around them (teachers, other parents, ...) have no reasonable expectation of not being monitored? Should I now treat every four-year old as a walking covert listening device? That six-year olds cannot be trusted to obey rules and recognize limits? And if the kid is so young it should absolutely not be on it’s own, then parents should be around and there’s no need for a monitoring device.
Currently mid-40's and hope to keep going at it.

Never stop learning, even tech you might dislike may provide a path to keep you relevant.

Also work on your soft skills.

A developer that can jump between technical meetings, discussing with users, other department, understands architecture and domain knowledge is much valuable than someone that just codes all day long.

When all else fails, you can always try to go consulting on the domains you love.

Yes, if you use panics for control flow in your package, you need to recover from them and hide that fact from your API. That is not the same as saying that you should recover from any panics that happen inside your library. Unexpected panics basically always indicate a programmer error.

I know genetically for some this may be unavoidable but perhaps by living a healthy life you could delay it to a point where you would pass away before it took over.

Obesity, Insulin Resistance, have been linked to this disease/condition. Maybe regular fasting, exercise, taking supplements (Lions Mane come to mind), CBD oil, coconut oil, medications like Metaformin, etc might help. It would be worth a shot since there are no real alternatives at the moment.
There are a few projects doing tokenisation of assets. The way it can be accomplished is by transferring the asset rights (in writing) to a foundation, which has it written in it's bylaws that it will transfer it back to a real person if a smart contract tells it to do so.

We are testing a similar process with physical objects at Trivial.co, and you can read more on details in the whitepaper: https://www.trivial.co/static/website/technical_whitepaper.p... .

Our case is a bit simpler, because with regular items there is no requirement to have a written contract, but the model would work just as well for property.

We did a lot of legal research considering various models for handling this. One of the options that didn't work was tokens representing ownership rights - it would be too difficult because of the variety of international rights, and issues with handling inheritance/theft, and so on.

The details / terms of service / etc are still being ironed out by the legal team, but it seems so far that this concept should work well.

No, but if being an author of successful software makes you a good employee (Because surely, that success is wholly transitive), then being a lottery winner would too. (After all, you were lucky - and it's good to hire lucky people.)

Put another way - does being a security engineer for Equifax make you an obvious hire at Google? I mean, every American Google employee has used Equifax's credit report systems, or used a bank that uses Equifax's credit report systems - clearly, said security engineer knows what he's doing.

Clarification on the deduplication section: ZFS doesn't automatically hardlink files (at least not in the sense you'll ever see a link count increase on your files), instead it checksums blocks and if two blocks are identical, it'll point both references to the same on-disk block.

It might sound like a small difference, but it does keep the files independent on the VFS layer. You can modify a file without fear of unwantingly modifying other files at the same time, which would happen if they were hard linked.
Sitting in an office 9-5 is dead-end job.

The title is terrible. Here is an excerpt from the article that explains what's going on: "The company's solution was to develop Git Virtual File System (GVFS). With GVFS, a local replica of a Git repository is virtualized such that it contains metadata and only the source code files that have been explicitly retrieved. By eliminating the need to replicate every file (and, hence, check every file for modifications), both the disk footprint of the repository and the speed of working with it were greatly improved. Microsoft modified Git to handle this virtual file system. The client was altered so that it didn't needlessly try to access files that weren't available locally and a new transfer protocol was added for selectively retrieving individual files from a remote repository."

This style of working is needed in large code bases, where not all files are checked out on developer workstations (for performance or privacy reasons).

Do you want to say that mining is stupid? If you mine the right coins and hold them long enough for price to increase you can make a lot of money.
It would be unethical (and, quite probably, illegal) to actively solicit and accept donations for a named charity and then hold on to them until the named charity, with whom you had no previous arrangement, actively sought you out and applied for an account which would allow them to receive them.
Both an amazon echo and an android phone require a key phrase to activate. It’s obviously possible that they could be used by amazon/google to listen in, but neither is a covert device that you can use to listen in on me, something that these smart watches enable.
Did I misunderstood the idea, or is GVFS essentially making git a non-distributed VCS?
For the avoidance of doubt, GitHub is not upstream of Git.
No, no - it's just the 'only exists in CGI' I have an issue with, since people are arguing against factual evidence. But, this is a prototype, so of course I expect the performance figures are going to change, and speculation about that aspect is par for the course and I have no problem with that.
Oh that's awesome. Fast response. Do you think you could send me an e-mail, it's under my profile. Would love to set up a time to discuss.

>Tax rates need to more reasonable to encourage the rich to pay them without question.

How does this not lead us to a race-to-the-bottom? If any reasonable person had the discretion, they'd pay as little tax as possible. Many of the "wealthiest" Americans play the "Declare Declining Real-Estate Value as a Loss" game to avoid paying tax altogether. [1]

There is no lower limit that people will simply pay without question. You can always frame even a minuscule percentage-based tax as a problem given a large enough income by looking at the absolute values paid. That this is given as a rationale for lowering tax is pure propaganda.
