maybe the difference is that less startups are willing to hire people who don't help their bottom line than they were when vc money was easier to get?

imagine you're a ceo, why would you hire someone who says this unless you want to fix or improve your pr? especially if you're not profitable. and if you want to improve your pr why not get designers who will do what you tell them if your priorities change later?

i personally wish the tech world was less about making money, but as an employee this makes no sense.

As somebody who contributed quite a bit to Bash Stack Overflow documentation, I have to say that I consider it a total train wreck. Before (or rather, instead of) touching this, I highly recommend reading something like the BashGuide (http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide) for anybody who looks to get started with Bash.

Even later, as a reference, SO Documentation isn't that useful, in my opinion.
I think you're missing parent's bigger point. Nothing is big for almost any teenagers, because at the end of the day they don't have to pay rent or buy groceries or that type of thing. Plus, a good percentage of them are about to be saddled with 100-1000X that amount in debt. $150 is water under the bridge.
I see what you're saying. That seems like an acceptable way to make a city walkable while having faster driving. Another idea is some kind of underground road layer under the city. I think the important thing is keeping as much real estate as possible for spaces where people live, work, and eat. That's what is needed anyway to have the population density to produce the tax revenue sufficient for one of these solutions.

WARNING: ANECDOTE

From my experience entering the country from LAX and BOS, passing through security at many airports around the country, Global entry is extremely convenient if the airport is large and busy (LAX) but not that much more convenient if there isn't a large crowd. (BOS)

TSA-Precheck on the other hand is a godsend for almost any average-large city airport.
Property taxes in neighborhoods with good schools are significantly higher here in Chicago. It doesn’t go to the state though, but rather funds the local school district directly.

Note that this still isn't a libertarian approach, as I, hypothetically residing in such a district but sending my hypothetical children to a private school, would still be paying for this service that I am not using; I would be paying for the right to use this but not the actual use of it. It's basic taxation but on a hyperlocal scale.
I 100% agree that they are different, but I think it's also worth pointing out that value-producing assets can still bubble away from a realistic valuation.

> Yeah usually from taxes around home ownership.

Real property in general, not just homes (and even moreso, not just owner occupied homes.)

But also can be sales taxes.

> People who rent have this hit them less.

Wrong. Property taxes (even those limited to residential property) hit renters at least as much as people living in homes they own. Sure, the landlord gets the tax bill, but that immediately goes into setting rent.
XOR-like behavior for the draw tool without any modifiers would work as well.
If you don't want any of that, ride a bike. Of course all the fools driving in the city center make that a a rather perilous undertaking, which is why congestion charges like these are desperately needed.

Actually, factoring in payroll taxes, it’s closer to 4 8-hour shifts on minimum wage. A more expensive price to pay for falling for a scam, but a very cheap lesson in the long run.
No, it's "just" converting selected tags from Stack Overflow Documentation (https://stackoverflow.com/documentation - now shut down) into PDFs.
Federal minimum wage: $7.25

$7.25 * 16 hours = $116 gross

$150 is not “a cheap price to pay” if you are below the poverty line.
It's not clear from the first article what sort of "research" is covered by the calculation, nor how they've come up with these figures. Lots of basic research is done which furthers our understanding of biology; whether this research results in new drugs is unclear.

-----

There are different routes by which new drugs are discovered, but very simplistically, we can break them down to two:

1) a researcher somewhere (not in Pharma) comes up with some positive research that might eventually result in the new drug for some disease. To develop this finding, often they will create (spin off) a new private company, and somehow generate funding. The extent to which the original funding institution benefits from this research is likely variable, based on the legal framework and contracts under which the researcher was operating. (And frankly, if a university or other institution doesn't benefit from such a discovery it funded in its labs... they're not doing something right.)

2) a pharmaceutical company funds its own discovery operations, which work to discover new targets and/or drugs for those targets

--

#1 is unpredictable, but can result in great new discoveries which are brought to market --and thus patients-- relatively cheaply (like in the hundreds of millions, rather than billions)

#2 is difficult, and very expensive, but mostly works - some pharmaceutical companies grind out drug after drug. However, ultimate success is less certain, and cumulatively, considering the cost of discovery operations as well as subsequent development, the cost is usually in the billions per successful new drug.

This is also why we're seeing a switch to a mixed model: big Pharma is increasingly spending big on smaller biotech operations with promising drug candidates, as a way of minimising risk.

People who know how to clean and work with large disparate datasets.

I guess its not surprising given how Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies fame indicated that of his first 10 employee's almost half were cleaning data.

It's alot more difficult than people realize and you know right away that someone has no real idea of the scale and difficulty of the problem when they suggest that a shell script can solve most of the data issues.

I think Renaissance Technologies actually illustrates just how much a good data cleaning and back testing platform is a real competitive advantage.

A couple of former RenTech people left for Millennium partners and for a couple of years.

Even though these employees were good enough to work at RenTech and had insights into the strategies employed there, they weren't able to be successful on their own without the huge backtesting and data cleaning framework at RenTech.

I'm going to guess "about $5," or however much you save by using Amazon. Bezos isn't dumb.
Actually, the funniest thing is that they have to strike a balance of people who understand how the system works enough to pay in and recruit others to do the same, but not enough to stay out. I found a craigslist ad that shows that difficulty: https://micronesia.craigslist.org/fns/d/turn-150-into-1200-o...

(Disclaimer: this is not my ad, and the only thing worse than the unconscionable stupidity of participating is the support you're giving to the the stupid person above you to keep being stupid.)
Unpleasant indeed!

I'm actively wondering whether it would be possible to build an external ranking-by-review system, since Amazon's <Sort By Best Avg Review> system has been fully gamed, and I use a completely different algorithm.

Meanwhile entire categories are completely full of fraudulent junk -- start with LiPo 18650 batteries. One seller was even using Tesla's brand and logo claiming to sell their batteries. It disappeared a few days after I reported them, so Amazon does appear to be doing something, but it's completely inadequate.
What?? Amazon Prime is a killer value! Netflix is $11/month and Spotify is $10/month. Sure, those services are definitely better than Prime Video and Music, but I still use Amazon's offerings a similar amount so the $13/month bundle feels like a great value at 40% lower cost. And this doesn't even count the services I don't use like free Kindle books or Twitch game discounts.

Not to mention the faster delivery times... The real benefit there has been changing the way I shop and think about shopping. I think I save massive amounts of time by almost never going to stores again. Even if the time savings is moot in the end, the psychological benefit of never having to go to stores has been wonderful. How much is that worth? I don't know, but it feels like almost zero cost given the value I get from Prime Video and Music (again, I admit that those services aren't "great").
Looking beyond code to make the future work for everyone
You're making an assumption that the tech screening process actually screens people on a criterion that matters. But nobody measures the false-negative rate, so they have no idea.

I've now worked at places that did CTCI interviews and "traditional" interviews, and I've noticed no difference in overall quality amongst the employees. I've known plenty of idiots who work at big, famous tech companies, and plenty of amazing people who never ran the whiteboard gauntlet at GooAmaFaceSoft.

My opinion has evolved: tech interviews are the result of generations of cargo-culting amongst a group of people who copied Microsoft, and never really questioned their assumptions. They're just as random and noisy as any other kind of interview, but far more arrogant. Spolsky was right that you should do a FizzBuzz test, but that's it. That's all you need. Everything else should be about communication, personality and the other intangibles that matter far more for every job that involves working with other people (which is all of them).
parking on most streets in NYC, including mine, is free. you would only get towed due to alternate-side parking rules for cleaning. lots of people who don't live anywhere near here (or even in manhattan) take advantage. some building supers actually perform the paid service of parking and retrieving residents' cars in whatever street spots they can find around the city. we need a residential parking permit system to bring control back to neighborhoods and revenue to NYC. the city council has passed this plan but it was killed in Albany because upstate commuters demand free parking in the city.

I think most people would support congestion pricing, if all the money collected went to building more road capacity. The people paying to get a fast trip now would be seen (and actually be) supporting faster trips for everyone in the future. Right now it just builds more resentment toward the 1%. Unfortunately this situation is not really possible today as places that so congested to want to use congestion pricing of roads cannot build any more (very expensive and politically impossible). If Musk's Boring company works out and congestion pricing on freeways in LA would pay for new tunnels, I think everyone would be on-board with it.

Remember heartbleed... While open cpu is a great idea, it's hard to say that an open cpu would have avoided the meltdown or spectre problem.

I've just canceled ours. Prime in the UK is £79/year for (in my experience) guaranteed free next-day delivery. But Amazon's prices have been creeping up and I frequently find things are significantly cheaper elsewhere. Plus there's little to watch on Prime Video.

Dots Vs. Pixels
Little endian is genius. Not only because of size casts being "free" (because LE is compatible among "word" sizes -lower bits are at a known location-, while with BE you need to know the word size in order to locate the lower bits of the word), but also because of efficient bit I/O (using CPU registers as accumulators, and flushing with a word-size store), so variable size data can be encoded efficiently.
There are already tolls on lots of roads and bridges, and you have to pay to park in public parking garages and street spaces. You have to pay to enter national parks, get services from municipal utilities, ride transit, use the courts, register your vehicle, etc. There is nothing philosophically wrong with the government charging people money to use its property and services. No rule of thumb really helps you decide outright whether something the government provides should be free. What you have to do is to evaluate whether in each case pricing makes sense and how much to charge. Roads are free mainly because they are difficult to charge and because for most roads there is no point to doing so, as most roads are uncongested nearly all the time. Downtown Manhattan is an exception and thus requires a special solution.

It's okay to believe public schools should be free and still support congestion pricing. Congestion pricing has demonstrated that it works at solving road traffic externalities. In London it has saved many lives from reduced accidents, both in and around the charging zone. In Stockholm it has reduced asthma attacks substantially. The New York subway needs lots of upgrades and congestion pricing will pay for some of them (although it would be nice if they could get their costs under control).

Public schools are doing fine being free and paid for by taxes. By way of fairness, I guess one could argue that since every kid by law has to go to school they should be free. But I think we actually have the free system simply because it has worked for a long time. There are problems with education quality in the US, but they aren't due to how schools are paid for. We know that because there are better schools in other countries that are still free. By contrast, downtown streets are as crowded and polluting and dangerous as they are mainly because they are free.

I suppose that an OS running transparently on an actual cluster of many independent cores, not linked even by a common L2 cache, could allow to separate security domains much more reliably.

Single-thread performance would suffer, though, unless you're ready to pay quite a lot. And it's still hugely important in many cases.
Little-endian is slightly more confusing for humans

I've heard this before, but the reason is that you view hex data and list numbers left-to-right as if they were letters. They are not.

0x12345678 stored big-endian, numbering bytes left-to-right:

12 34 56 78

Looks good, but I think that this is actually more confusing, because when you number the bytes and bits you will see that the bytes are written left-to-right, while at the same time the bits are written right-to-left.

The solution is to show dumps with bytes numbered right-to-left. This is coherent with how we number bits, and also how we relatively position digits in any other number.

0x12345678 in little-endian, but written right-to-left:

12 34 56 78

Now the numbering of the bytes is consistent with the numbering of bits. You can easy see that bits 0-7 of the bits interpreted as a 32-bit word belong in byte 0, while bits 16-23 belong in byte 2.
Depending on your life situation and where you live, not having to go to the store for those regular purchases is a huge deal.

I love Amazon subscriptions. Never having to think about buying all those staples, and just having them show up at the right time every month is worth a little extra money, which is at least partially offset by the subscription discounts.

> I very often wonder if I am the only one that feels this way.

You're not. One of the bigger issues I've seen with Scrum is not being able to shoe horn in work that needs to be done because business didn't identify it as a "story".

I believe development is there to serve business and any processes used to facilitate this serving should be defined by development. I don't dictate how a general contractor satisfies my requirements for my home build, I leave that to them. I just expect my requirements to be met at or near budget.

A lot of these software process issues boil down to managements never ending quest to commoditize developers.
So it's unrealistic to expect a multinational corporation to be competent enough to ship XBox controllers and eight-inch pipe fittings to their customers, if they're on an island? Because that's what the parent comment is talking about.
