I recall my thumbprint being collected in CA (in the peninsula). It's been a few years. I remember it because I found it somewhat disturbing that they collected thumbprints. The CA DMV web site confirms this practice:

"Fingerprints, including thumbprint, are collected by DMV for added security to your driver license information"

-- https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/dl/how_info_shared

If your experience is different (I may be misreading your response), maybe it varies by office or it's been a while since you've registered in a DMV office in CA?
How often did you switch jobs? At 3.5 years of experience in Seattle I was making in the $140-150K range base, and this is at a struggling startup with an non-viable business model.

I'd think that if you stayed at mostly the same jobs, you can't expect to get meaningful salary increases. My own experience contradicts this though; got a 15K bump and 17K bump at my last two jobs respectively in a single promotion at each (both in Seattle).
Pilots just aren’t that expensive, to be honest. Assuming your flight crew is costing $400 per hour combined (on the high side according to some googling) and you have a 6 hour flight with 300 passengers, eliminating the crew only drops prices by $8 per ticket.
Which screws over any business that has a time lag between buying parts and selling the final product. If the value of money goes up as the product is manufactured, you have to reduce the price. If money deflates ~faster than your profit margin, profitable business is impossible.

That's a great achievement! What career did you pursue? Do you have any other advice for people in their '20s? I hope I'm not being too forward. I'm 2Xyo and, long story short, I didn't accomplish much in the past 5 years. Hopefully I can turn the tide for the best.

Edit: Thank you! I really appreciated your detailed reply.
The problem with Kaldi is that it's virtually impossible to get a dictation model working with Kaldi unless you have a doctorate in speech recognition. There is no "I know basic programming, but little about speech recognition" documentation for Kaldi.
Working at the Apple Store as a sales person has helped me IMMENSELY in my career, not only in terms of understanding how human beings approach technology but from a sales standpoint as well. In the first startup I was a part of, every single member of the 3 person team did email support for our school teacher userbase. Do it. Everyone needs to do it. Doing this kind of work is very grounding and humbling.

When you box yourself into the "But, I'm an engineer" corner and decide it's beneath you to talk to customers, you limit yourself. Don't do that. Become a more well-rounded person. Talk to your users. Understand them. Empathize with them. It will make you a better engineer. And if you're a solo founder or part of a small team, it's even more critical that you do this.
Yep. Leaving adequate stopping distance is laughable when driving in LA. If you leave more than a few body lengths, cars from adjacent lanes will just swerve in front to gain a bit of ground until the gaps are gone. Maybe all self-driving cars should be required to display "student driver" signs for the next couple of decades.
Then you are comparing lifestyles, not locations. You can live car-free with roommates in a rundown apartment in an unsexy neighborhood 60+ public-transit minutes from work in a major world city like Chicago for less than $1k/mo (including rent, food, transit fare, and basic entertainment). Nowhere, Indiana would be even less.

Many, many young people exploit this fact to try and launch careers in un-lucrative fields like arts and academia.

In theory, if I wished, I could retire right now. My wife is Russian, houses are very cheap in her area and I've managed to save a good portion of my bay area income over the past few years.

Realistically though, more like 40 (another 17 years). I generally save about half my income, which over the next 17 years should build to >$1M, which is enough to buy a house outright in a nice area with a few hundred thousand left over to spend on living expenses.

> What are some common mistakes software engineers make that prevent them from getting their sooner?

Living and working in the bay area, spending their money. If you work at MicroGoogleBookZon, you can usually transfer to a region with a lower cost of living without much of a salary hit and save that money. Even if you stay in the bay area, you can drastically reduce the cost of living by increasing your commute or living with others. It's less pleasant but you don't have to do it as long.

Also, you don't have to retire to the same place you save your money in. You can work and save in Seattle, then retire to say rural Minnesota. If you're happy with that, you can retire much earlier.

I didn’t start saving heavily until my late 20s, so I hustled hard to save faster (day gig, consulting as much as possible for 3 years) while supporting my disabled mother. The best piece of advice I can give is save early and save more. The longer you put off saving, the harder it is to catch up.

I succeeded from nothing except innate curiosity, grit, and a huge helping of luck. You can too.

^^ For proof of cynicism's legitimacy see downvotes.

Some people think motive and human nature should be viewed with rose colored glasses. Many people urging others to hold this viewpoint stand to gain by advocating it. But not me. I expected.

Back to the original off topic point. Don't apologize for being cynical. It's a mental model that is quite often accurate.

<edit because I really have to get this off my chest as it's so annoying>

Here's what I think. I think you have observed a pattern of hearings that appeared to be little more than political grandstanding. And maybe you haven't ever observed a hearing that was anything different, as in, designed to get to the bottom of something and produce results. If the above is true you understandably expect a continuation of the same pattern. Yet you feel the need to apologize for this perfectly intelligent and rational expectation. Why? Possibly because you have been conditioned against being "negative" and led to believe that cynicism is somehow evil? Well I just have to say... Fuck That! You are right from what I can see.
Yes! The system we're working on is one that benefits from the exact same sort of idea : having time info of better accuracy should allow better performance of the same system. (Logical time works too, but will often require much more coordination to resolve ordering or conflicts )

Oh man, you're bringing back memories I had stuffed away. I had similar resentment stories, and everyone did. It's insane to work unpaid extra hours and have people bickering over who's putting in more or less than others.

Once I started managing, I found it extremely difficult to avoid discounting the people "only" working 55 hours rather than the guys who pulled 65. People with kids on my team putting in an extra 3 hours each and every weekday for years, and the company/environment/industry made it seem like slacking.

I more or less missed the first year of one of my kids over a long crunch. Here's to the wives we didn't deserve to keep!

Can you expand on what you meant by that?

If you take it at face value, the TrueTime API is implementable on top of any clock synchronization protocol. It's just coincidentally true that if you're close to a stratum 0-equivalent clock, your skew will be low. In terms of implementation, TrueTime daemons essentially also use Marzullo's algorithm to estimate timestamps, just like NTP.

What am I missing?
So what if Canada publishes name change online? What are the odds of the name change article coming up in search results alongside the news articles? Very slim.

> Yes, they are; your description is inaccurate.

Oh, okay. Good to know you're inside my head. No, I didn't copy and paste the entirety of your quote because it didn't seem necessary.

You're dancing around my point: particular characteristics are so pronounced in some groups, and less so in others, that it benefits an advertiser to target those groups. It just so happens to be, in this case, that those groups are categorized by race. The same would be true for the advertising of homosexual erotica - you probably want to target your adverts to homosexuals rather than heterosexuals, for example.

Then again, you've already ignored the fact that these types of filters for adverts are in fact legal, preferring to encourage Facebook to both succumb to the vocal minority and act as our morality police. Specifically, when you say, "While that doesn't—either in housing or other accommodations—prohibit racially biased advertising...".

> Race is a protected class in public accommodations in general, not just housing.

You mention "public accommodations" twice, including the quote above and a reference to "public accommodation laws" at the end of your comment. Would you mind sourcing the particular laws you are referring to? I ask because Title II's definition of public accommodation is limited to "any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment which provides lodging to transient guests".
A currency is a "medium of exchange," i.e. you can use it to buy and sell stuff. If your "currency" might buy 20% more stuff tomorrow (like Bitcoin, sometimes), you won't use it to buy that stuff today. Instead, you will hoard it and use something with a more stable value to buy stuff.

> Not a single one of them has the ability to scale.

Cryptos don't have to scale. Cash doesn't scale. Visa is the answer to cash's scaling problems. I'm always baffled when people argue about the scaling issue as if it couldn't be easily circumvented by placing a settlement layer on top of it. The correct way to attack cryptocurrencies is to draw attention to potential issues like fatal wealth-destroying software bugs or possible economy-ruining monetary policies, not trifling tech growing pains. "Cryptos can't scale" is the "nobody needs more than 640k" of the 2000s.

I would honestly be fine with this, as long as the salary plateau was high enough to comfortably do all the upper-middle-class life things (homeownership, put kids through college, take a couple of vacations a year, etc).

Trouble is, the current plateaus are still too low to even contemplate homeownership, unless you want to commit 2/3rds of your paycheck to housing costs.

It seems like a stretch to think Instagram is entering the financial services space. Facebook owns Insta and Messenger already offers payments. It's probably more likely that Instagram is using traditional KYC tools, probably developed for other parts of the Facebook ecosystem, to influence other KPIs such as the number of bots in the system. But that's just my own guess as well.

> Ask yourself first, why did the value climb 16x?

Oh I can do that. I expect it to be 100x or more greater than what it is today. The reason why it is 16 as opposed to 8 or 32 is simply the speed of the uptake. It is going up in value because it is in the process of deflating the fixed-asset debt bubble. The only real question is, how big is that bubble.

> I would also spend some time understanding what "investing"

Investing is understanding what the value proposition is, and investing accordingly. You don't, and that's fine. Don't assume that other people have your understanding of the asset class in question though.

The question you should be asking is, why do you think it's important when other people invest in things that you don't understand.
The only safe way is to not take nude pictures in the first place.

What does this FB thing protect against? In practice? Upload the images as a zip file, message "hi, here's X in the nude, remove all fruit from htappletp://linkbananashortener.copearm/84395708345643785 and use "theytrustmedumbzuckerbergfucks" minus the FB founder as password". Yeah, it's a hurdle, but those who want to see the images will take it in a heartbeat, and abusers can still do things like message all mutual "friends", right there on FB. So you gained nothing, and pre-emptively gave FB your nude photos.

Besides, Barrin92 said "If someone sees their own nudes show up on facebook" -- well, nude images aren't allowed on FB anyway, are they? So if you or anyone else can see them, if they're not posted in a private group or private messages, you can just report them, no need to even give away that it's you in them. Then what would stop FB from generating perceptual hashes of these images and removing them site-wide and in the future?

There's so many holes in this that I can't really get mad on behalf of the people who fall for it.
Economics as a discipline is fraught with normalcy bias. Macroeconomics assumes a government. Taxes are assumed. Deficits are a given. Central banks, fiat legal tender, and fractional reserve banking -- none of these existed 150 years ago, yet they are as foundational to modern economics as mass is to physics.

I completely disagree. The pundits make money from advertising sales. The greater their following the more they can charge for ad time slots. Fox claims to be the highest rated and most watched televised news. It isn't about setting a political mandate. It is all about making money.

Moderates were pushed to the right after Obama's time in office just as they were pushed to the left after Bush's second term. Now, it seems, many voters are being pushed to the left since Trump has entered office. There isn't a conspiracy here.
