Just intuitively, longer working hours (which may correlate with higher pay) and later average retirement age (which may correlate with higher paid jobs, especially with less physical demands), may contribute to greater probability of death from non-work causes, including age-related causes, happening while at work.
I'd rather pay Dropbox more and not have to have the overhead and constant nag of the Microsoft ecosystem -- not to mention Microsoft's questionable privacy policies -- i.e. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7369163

1TB on Dropbox is $9.99 per month. That's a bargain. I'm not really one to use an inferior product just to save a few dollars.

I am not American, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the melting pot metaphor about taking people from different cultures and backgrounds and "melting" them together into one much more homogenous culture?
Two reasons.

Women want children earlier (because menopause) and are more affected by them (because giving birth) than equally family-minded men. As a result, women are more motivated to prioritise having children/family.

In addition, men derive more advantage from more money/power than women, so they're more motivated to climb the corporate ladder (or take risks and fund companies) than women.

I'm generalising, obviously, so "on average" everywhere.
It is one of the permission settings that can be toggled for a Discord chat room.
I recently did a purge of nearly all my software subscriptions and Dropbox was among the few that survived. Say what you want about storage being a commodity, I think they have built an outstanding service that continues to deliver a huge value to their users. I hope the employees see a nice windfall.

It's remarkable that companies can "own" things so fundamental, and obvious in computing--even if they don't actually utilize their IP's.

"Hey guys, I've got a patent for talking from one machine to another over a connection." (Don't give SCO any ideas.)

The purpose of patents was to foster innovation, not squander it.

What if Issac Newton and Liebniz had a "foundation" that owned the rights to every mathematical construct they discovered? How would the world function if we had to pay that foundation fees every time we used Newton's method, or Calculus? It'd be complete bureaucratic hell.

I'd say that it felt like the movie wanted Rey to join Kylo. It was what it was building to. It would have fit with the taking-an-old-thing-and-twisting-it vibe of the rest of the film. The momentum of the film seemed in that moment to strain and fail against what I assume were the limits of how far off the rails JJ/Disney would let it go. It'd have taken what was already probably the 3rd most interesting and original Star Wars movie and given it a real shot at the #2 spot (A New Hope's nigh-unassailable in its #1 position, having created the phenomenon of the multi-genre pastiche film).
How to work with stored procedures and not die trying
I only think the last reason is actually reasonable. You can argue that all the other small ships that they sacrificed could have also turned tail and gave it a go, even if it was difficult.

However, the blast radius part wouldn't make as much sense, because the escape pods were likely fairly close, just at some orthogonal vector.

However, this is all besides the point. The real problem is that the hyperdrive weapon was never motivated and it introduces plot holes in past movies.
These are both weasel words and willfully ignorant of what the OP is talking about. You don't have to agree with conservative views to understand that certain views are not tolerated (e.g. women are worse workers, etc.)

Biopharma startups are about as different from tech startups as you can get. The traditional tech incubator approach doesn't really work for biopharma. It can work for some life sci stuff but not pure biopharma (which is where most of the opportunity is)

That said, they said they've learned some lessons and they are providing more capital, and I'm sure if any organization can fix the biopharma seed exosystem it's them

The most important thing for them will be to get the right group of mentors. If you go off on the wrong scientific direction at the start of the company, it's much harder to salvage things with a pivot, so you need good eyes on all details of your experiments before you deploy capital

You bring up good points.

Maybe larger ships require larger, more expensive hyperdrive installations, and are more difficult to install - maybe it's not just a matter of bolting a hyperdrive unit onto something. There might be conduits you have to run all over and throughout the structure, there may be mass and balance concerns, etc.

I don't know enough about the SW universe to really back up my hypothesis. (One of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of the SW universe as a playground for the mind is that it's fairly inconsistent, and the Rule of Cool that another user mentioned tends to trump other considerations. In one sense it's freeing, and in another sense, any given work set in that universe is free to disregard large portions of previous works.)

And it's not necessarily a bad thing, either. Economies of scale means that everybody can win by putting all your chips in one basket. The obvious caveats apply when said basket stands to gain from serving its own interests once all the chips are there.

One example of that might include patching your own hardware while waiting to offer the same capabilities to others.
Yes and no. A true lottery predictably periodic - it happens in rounds. PoW puzzles are async and so the chain can fork. The second property of the crypto puzzle kicks in here - the statistically predictable number of hashes necessary to solve the puzzle which can then be used to calculate an average time necessary to create a valid block. With a forking chain, it's this time gap that secures the chain against rewrites. So yes, PoW is used to distribute block creation among the network but it differs from a true lottery system in that it is not synchronized into rounds.

Which has always bothered me, since there are other explanations (lifestyle habits, genetics, poverty) that would explain the difference, in whole or in part. It's a politically convenient assumption that goes contrary to Occam's Razor.

> First, AEI is not a partisan think-tank. They're ideologically conservative, but they are non-partisan.

AEI, like many think tanks, is extremely partisan in practice and has deep connections with the Republican political establishment. (There are a number of think tanks on the Democratic side where this is true, as well.)

Like basically all think tanks, it claims to be “nonpartisan” based on the lack of any formal or overt association with any political party, but that is as practically meaningful as Fox News’s old claim to be “Fair and Balanced”.
Focusing on a limited set of resources in a way that exercises your problem-solving skills would be the key. Here is one plan:

1) Select a category such as "stacks and queues" from the Cracking coding interview (CCI) book and read all the questions. This will give you a sense of the type of questions being asked.

2) Sign up for the algorithms 1 and 2 courses (https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part1, https://www.coursera.org/learn/algorithms-part2) in the audit mode(free). Pick the correct modules such as "stacks" and "queues" and watch all the videos.

3) Come back to the questions in the book CCI and try to solve the problems yourself. If you get stuck, look at the solutions for hints but still try to do them yourself.

4) Do the same for all major topics such as strings, linked lists, recursion etc.

Unfortunately, you are not going to remember all of you've learned. You need spaced-repetition so repeat the above method 2-3 times for each topic.

Once you have the foundation, you will be able to tackle the harder questions that you may find somewhere else or in the interview.
Why the Job Search Sucks
Can't say for everyone else, but from my observation, ppl from big china cities are more likely to go back while ppl from small cities are more willing to stay. The reasons is that moving to big china cities is as hard if not harder than staying in SV.

For myself, I'd like to stay here even I came from a big city like shanghai as I enjoy the freedom in US and agree with american values.

Besides, china is getting worse in every aspect I care about such as speech freedom, news freedom, human rights, food and air safety, etc, under Xi's administration.

Unfortunately the waiting time for a green card is too long, I don't want to sacrifice some of the most valuable years in my life just waiting here while I can achieve more if I'm able to work on my own project.

So I am moving back as well in the near future and hope someday I can make an achievement and get back to US.
> First, AEI is not a partisan think-tank. They're ideologically conservative, but they are non-partisan... If anything, the current interpretation of the Commerce Clause is the antithesis of conservative ideology

And yet, AEI is advocating for the current interpretation of the Commerce Clause because it empowers deregulation. You can bet your last horse that they'd be making the opposite argument and rambling about King George and unelected regulators if Democrats controlled the federal government.

I can't help but feel that you've reinforced awinder's point... AEI reasons backwards from what it wants on a case-by-case basis to justify its policy preferences, which change depending on which party is in power. If that's not the definition of partisan, then your definition of partisanship is broken.

> If anything, they're smart, by framing a Republican-sponsored policy within the context of case law that Democrats have consistently supported for a century.

1. Yes, exactly, their constitutional justification is an insincere post-facto justification for policy they like, and their policy preferences when it comes to the commerce clause largely depend on which political part is in control of the federal government.

2. But they're totally non-partisan, right? ;-)
maybe they should launch a crypto-social-iot platform for digital asset management /s

Let them focus on a problem that actually needs solving.
I don't think the parent is saying the commerce clause is, in and of itself, conservative, but rather that the reading that the reading of the commerce clause to mean that regulating interstate commerce is exclusively the province of the federal government (which it doesn't explicitly say) is. And while you can get into semantic squabbling about small-c vs. big-c conservatism, etc., this particular position arguing that the states' desire to regulate a market is preempted by a federal deregulatory impetus is pretty clearly well aligned with modern American conservatism.
Go on, take the money and run.

> ... in a manner that is antithetical to conservative ideology. Am I missing something?

Yes, you're missing the part where this isn't particularly antithetical to conservative ideology anymore (it would have been a century ago, but not recently).

There's a common caricature of conservative ideology under which any use of federal powers to limit state powers is hypocritical. But that's not a particularly accurate depiction of conservative ideology, any more than the caricature that any use of state powers is somehow hypocritical under a liberal ideology. (If that were the case, then this push by New York and California could itself be characterized as similarly hypocritical).

In this case, both the left and the right have agreed for the better part of the last century that the federal government has this sort of power, and they have both used that power for their own respective causes at many different points in the last century. People who believe that the federal government doesn't (or shouldn't) have this sort of power are in the minority and are not a dominant force in any political party.

Again, this is a relatively new development in US Constitutional history; in 1818 or even 1918, the situation was very different; almost all the rulings that expanded the Commerce clause have happened in the last 100 years.
>When you're main concern is "What is a minority" rather than "minorities are dying" that is very indicative of the problem still existing

You have just demonstrated what is called "attribution of intention" (as in you attributed an intention to the other person), which is a good indicator of a conversation going south.

(More general bias is "attribution bias")

Your dollars already do get more valuable over time wrt consumer electronics and cars, yet people still purchase them en masse.

Many still spend in a deflationary environment, they just do so with far more care about the product and it's longevity.

People will invest also, though only with a expected return greater than deflation gains.

Instead the status quo is being forced into overvalued equities or real estate investments. There's no real option to be a saver in the western world anymore.

That's a long list.

baptist: no

homophobic: no, disapproval of homosexuality is likely, but not phobia
misogynist: rarely, but routinely sexist

pro corporation: yes
skeptical of global warming: no
pro fossil fuel energy: not on the radar
war hawks: only if rightful and historical claims are not respected
something else altogether: many, many things

Silicon Valley is strident to the point where it's annoying, even for people invested in entirely orthogonal worldviews.
Your viewpoint is cultural, FWIW. In many cultures (eg. most Confucian ones) and subcultures (eg. academia, wealthy ancient Greeks) knowledge of the truth was considered an inherent value that's greater than its application to messy human interests. Application of science debases the pure research - it's no longer as likely to be true, because now you have introduced human incentives and emotions as a consideration.

Growing up in a bicultural Asian/white household, reconciling these two viewpoints was one of my greatest sources of childhood angst. My Asian academic dad was all about learning for its own sake, and he'd look down upon the politicians and businessmen who sought to use science to further their own ends. My white teacher mom was very much "What's the point of information if you don't use it to do some good in the world?" This is a gross generalization, but I've seen strong echoes of this in the working world as well, eg. the stereotypical Chinese Ph.D working in a lab or at a computer whose results are then going to get commercialized by a Harvard MBA.

The reconciliation I eventually came up with is basically "You get what you ask for." On a factual level, cultures that value truth for its own sake tend to have a more accurate understanding of the truth, but then they get steamrolled by cultures that value truth for what it can do for them, but only if that other culture is on the same basic technology level. Then you get a very interesting dynamic where the usage of science for military purposes (often viewed as a "deal with the devil" by those in academia) ends up "carving out" safe spaces for scientists and academics where pure research is protected and supported by politicians for its usefulness.
