You, as an individual, have a right against self-incrimination, but you're simultaneously subject to laws against tampering with or destroying evidence.

You don't have to hand over the incriminating evidence, or even tell the cops that you have it. But if they find out you did have it, and knowingly destroyed it to hide your illegal behavior, that is a legitimate additional charge.
The author needs to relax, it feels like he wrote this rant while under heavy ADHD medication.
Yes. Sarbanes-Oxley requires business records to be kept for a reasonable length of time, and with ephemeral messaging that is impossible. So it would seem that these applications are illegal for business use by default.
For instance, I view gender as a binary.

> Everyone in Silicon Valley uses equity, and not debt, to fuel their growth because debt is not available in sufficient quantities to poorly capitalized companies without a strong history of adequate cash flows to service debt.

A corollary to this is that if you're fundraising and can get debt, you should take it over equity almost every time. Many founders are skeptical of debt because everyone takes equity, yet everyone takes equity because it's all they can get.

At the very least, if you're seriously trying to decide between the two, remember that equity investors want at least a 10x return within about five years. Break out a calculator and look at what the interest rate on that would be (spoilers, it's higher than any lender would think to ask).
Again, I understand the situation in Japanese, which is why I headed my comment with "your overall point is correct".

And also again, it is not true that Chinese characters with multiple readings are rare exceptions, unless you want to measure rarity by dividing the count of "characters with multiple readings" by "all characters ever attested". Characters with multiple readings are extremely common; one of them, 的, is the most common character in written Chinese by a wide margin.
For a podcast search engine, you can take two approaches.

1. Depth first approach. Position yourself as a AI company and do in-audio search, but only index a small set of podcasts. It's like if Google just indexes 1000 web pages and try to refine keyword matching techniques -- too few data to improve search relevance & ranking.

2. Breadth first approach. Start something simple. Index just meta data for as many podcast & episodes as possible. It's not sexy, in terms of raising money or going to headline of TechCrunch. It's not AI (for now).

Given the limited resource I have now (i.e., one person, not VC funding, 2 months fulltime work), I have to take the breadth first approach. In the future, I still have choice to do in-audio search gradually. It's like playing strategy game; it's about build order :) Ideally you do everything all at once, e.g., AI, player app, community, ... But in reality, you get to take the very first step...
Lucy (https://startwithlucy.com) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite | Hiring for mobile and web

We're hiring engineers at our headquarters in San Francisco to help build out our product to helping women and men have happier, healthier pregnancies, and smoother transitions into parenthood and back-to-work again.

We've been growing rapidly and raised from top tier VCs. You’ll work on a small, tight-knit team to build out our core products and have a large amount of influence in our technical direction. We are more pragmatic than dogmatic but take pride in our craft as engineers.

Our stack is django / postgres for backend and internal admin tools and react native for our family app. We're looking for generalist full stack engineers who want to build out products quickly.

I'm the hiring manager and can be reached here or matt [at] startwithlucy [dot] com.
Likely not. It'll most likely be India as they are the largest generics manufacturing nation by far. India is to generic drugs what we are to non-generics. Israel is another major generics manufacturer so it could be them. China's pharmaceutical market haven't developed as quickly because of their internal chinese medicine market.
The problem isn't how they communicated, and the article acknowledges this. Wickr and other "secret" apps are perfectly fine. But at the end of the day if the court asks you for records relevant to a case, you are obligated to hand them over. "Oops the app deleted them" might not work for a judge.
You forgot to mention that standardized test are used in a lot of these professions (eg, accounting and medicine).

It often seems to me that the people who complain about software hiring actually like the completely vacuous "talk about yourself" type interview that you get for some corporate jobs. Either that or they just like bitching and it never occurs to them to consider why things are the way they are. Not that there isn't a ton of room for improvement - it's known that the whiteboard coding interview process gives terrible signal - but that's because it's an extremely difficult problem, not because the current methodology is particularly stupid.

Typos are distracting. I don't know whether "modal" programmers is intentional or a typo for "model".
Do their points of view represent anyone that has their hands on the lever of power in the US? If one were to argue that 'high quality' means that it represents the views and policy of those currently in government, then which publications would you select?
Pretty sure he means "modal" as in mode average.

As it happens, he's also the creator or Ethereum Classic, a hard fork of Ethereum, not unlike what Bcash is to Bitcoin (i.e. an attempt at co-opting the brand and capturing value by confusing newcomers).

Apparently he tried to inflate the ETC coin supply by 20% and give the new coins to his company IOHK, which of course didn't sit well with the ETC community:

Fantastic, and nicely written personal commentary on each one too. This is a real treasure.

I think I like the Sumtronics Comptometer the most, for its excellent name and its vacuum tube internals. The Mathatron is a close second.
Some day. At this point, IMO it would be foolish to say never or not for a century. We could find ourselves in a place where the current path that's mostly deep learning gets close but not close enough. But we seem to be moving forward pretty well even if the last 5 to 10% takes a couple decades longer than many people think.

But I'm still inclined to think that generalized door-to-door autonomy without a competent human present is still a long way out.

No but I don't think what you described exists but for the most basic scenarios.
I have a network of conservative tech friends in Seattle and coordinate with various pro-Trump tech individuals around the country.

I think from the comments on here (many done under unattributable usernames) it is clear to see why most stay far under the radar. There is a very real fear of negative career consequences in the tech industry for having views that are mainstream in broad swathes of the country that so enables the tech industry's success.

While some blowback may be manageable for someone with demonstrable skills and few longterm commitments, it has a chilling effect for those with families and mortgages.

And for those who think that none of their peers voted for the US president, I can tell you that you are likely mistaken. For those that think that conservatives can't innovate or fit into the tech industry, I counter that there are very successful people all over the industry, but given that there is little upside and high risk to mentioning it publicly, it is understandable that one would have a different perception.

Parsons | Full Time | REMOTE

We are a team of about fifteen developers and sys admins. We are looking to hire an additional software developer with solid
Unix/Linux skills and (if possible) a good knowledge of computer security. We work from home and communicate via text and vid
eo chat. We work 40-hour weeks with flexible hours, but we try to overlap as much as possible with 10am-4pm Eastern Time. We
are currently working on about five different projects, each written in one or more of five different programming languages.
These projects are small, ranging from one to three developers each. Nearly everyone works on at least two different projects
, so we all need to be competent in more than one language. Some of us started as system administrators and later became soft
ware developers. Others are pure developers with solid Unix/Linux skills.

- Work from home!
- Relaxed atmosphere
- 40 hour work weeks

You must have an active DoD security clearance.

Three Practical Ways That You Can Build More Passion in Your Life
>Based on my readings, I understood that most psychiatrists think treatment is unlikely to work.

It's very likely your sources are pretty stale. For several decades, yes, the prognosis for BPD was quite poor. But this is no longer true and has not been true really since at least the late 90s. BPD is much, _much_ better understood than it was in the 70s/80s, thanks in large part to the work of Marsha Linehan[0].

Depending on various factors the prognosis can actually be very good, and people can and do get better from even fairly severe BPD. (See e.g. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/... ) I've watched this happen with a close family member and I'm happy to provide a bunch more resources etc (email in profile).

> the judge would just order you to unlock your phone...

Depending on which Federal circuit applies, and how you authenticate to your device, only if they already had proof that your messages were material to the case. Unlocking your device (with a passcode or password, as distinct from biometrics) has been ruled to be "testimonial", so the State must have specific knowledge that your iMessage has inculpatory evidence in order to compel you to unlock it and hand those messages over.

I don't disagree with there being a liberal bias in SV companies, I think that's pretty damn obvious.

I'm curious though why such observations are made for SV only, why don't publicly social conservative organizations e.g Hobby Lobby, Chic-fil-a etc get asked similar questions? It would be safe to assume that things like same sex marriage, contraception would be considered out of bounds there.

Is it just because of the size/reach of the tech industry ?
The Supreme Court has held that corporations don't have fifth amendment rights. They have done so precisely because they've never categorically held that "companies are ... persons," but rather have in various cases stamped out attempts to infringe on personal rights just because those people happen to act through a corporation.
If you want to operate a business you need to play by the rules for businesses. Private individuals have different expectations and laws governing their privacy.

One major difference between individuals and corporations is that you can not really jail a corporation (though you can jail execs, but this rarely happens) and running a company is a privilege, not an innate right.

So it stands to reason that if the law says you need to preserve your records that you do so in order to be able to hold the company accountable for its actions. Similar laws apply to your financial recordkeeping.

Willfully destroying evidence, whether you are a private individual or a corporation is going to be frowned upon by a judge anyway, the best way to avoid all of this is to simply not commit any deeds that could be labeled crimes.
Funny - that's kind of what I'd expect for people building software for self-driving cars, surgical robots and pacemakers...

Germany removes Tesla from subsidies list as too pricey

Do we base morality on what politicians think is the best stance to get them elected?

The argument isn't that you "have to think this way because the government said so" it's that by airing viewpoints at work you're liking going to cause problems. As much as you might care a gay coworker likely has more reason to care, and they would view it as stomping on their rights.
Entirely possible, and I thought so too, but then I bumped into a typo later which made me question it. Dunno.
That is true, but it should not be assumed that a spec. is a thing of fixed validity. A formal spec. has a reasonable likelihood of being less ambiguous, incomplete or self-contradictory than an informal one, or whatever substitutes for a spec. in an agile approach.

There's a pretty extensive collection of problems there now, and they span a variety of topics, from basic CS stuff (e.g., implement a stack or a binary tree), to cryptography, number theory, and trivia (e.g., write a quine, calculate the date of Easter, or solve a Sudoku puzzle). Note that the chronological list of exercises isn't up to date.
Why is it necessary to make comments like this. Is it simply to demean those who have mental health issues and were responsible/brave enough to get help? Why use this as you example? You have many others, even just saying "while on stims/speed".
Code is (can be) an art just as much as tax preparation can be an art. But at the end of the project, for most of the rest of the world, it's just a means to an end.

I've written some very elegant code in my life that I later revisited and was very proud of. But as a life's achievement? No way.

Most code you will ever write will be thrown away or not used. And of the percentage that is used, most of that could have been written less wonderfully by a more crude programmer and still met the requirements.

Programming is not hard. Good programming is not hard. Good solutions can be difficult to achieve, but that is less about the difficulty in writing good code than it is about understanding the many different objectives and variables in a situation and reconciling that with the legacy or other constraints.

Who am I to judge where someone finds their self worth. But at the end of a decade of doing something, maybe it's good to look around and as, "What is this worth to humanity - even some small subset of?"

There are too many "photographers", but at least they can show their work to the general population and evoke some kind of emotional response (other than, "ooh, that looks sooo boring"). There are many, many exceptional musicians who will never make a living with their music, but at least they bring joy to listeners. Meanwhile, Github fills up with the latest Javascript version of something that's already been done a million times (and could probably have been done with Unix shell scripts).
Treatment is not unlikely to work. It just takes a lot of time, and it requires you find a therapist you wife trusts and who will engage with your wife in the way she needs.

At the very least it sounds like your wife has critically low-selfesteem which would be part of BPD.

If there is any way at all you can get her in a therapeutic environment, that would be a profoundly important gift to her . The life of a person with BPD is not destined to be a happy one, they're living like a cornered mouse for most of it and are really in harms way. They're likely to keep traumatizing themselves. To have a person who cares to prevent that is the greatest gift a person with BPD can have.

My offhand suggestion is that you try therapy for yourself for a session and get some advice from a therapist. Keep moving between them until it's useful. It could be that you find away to have a couples therapy that is ostensibly for you but your wife might open up there.
