> "The struggle is huge, and I keep having to look inside myself to figure out what "my people" is supposed to mean."

For me, the weirdest part is the way in which the upper-middle class people I now associate and work with talk about "my people" (i.e. the working-class folks I grew up with). They mythologize them as the noble, hard-working, salt of the earth, when in reality, they clearly don't like most of their habits, their religion, their tastes, their opinions, their language, or much else about them. Poor and working-class people are described in archetypes, stereotypes, and as abstract ideas. But very little said matches what I know about actual poor people. They are always -- always -- praised when spoken of in the abstract. But when the conversation drifts toward the specific, it's pretty clear that they're not really big fans.

I find myself simultaneously defending the behaviors of the working class while also walking upper-class liberals back a few steps on just how noble and hard-working -- they're always described as hard-working -- most actual poor people really are. They're just people.
I started picking Object Pascal up (FreePascal & Delphi varieties) and was amazed by it. It is rather simple and compiles to native code. Not only that, you can create mobile apps (and even macOS apps) with both Delphi and FreePascal.
We use facebook all the time in my bank to check on fraud/claims of stolen credit cards.
Once a customer claimed a stolen card but it was used every day at a specific parking lot. Said customer would post "Checking into work at xxx" every day on facebook where the specific parking lot was xxx's parking lot.

Needless to say I don't have a facebook account or post anything using my full name anywhere public.

The scary part will be when the insurance companies buys a direct feed into private posts from facebook or google sometime in the future.
"if Jahi was a little white girl"

Love how casual racism is acceptable now.
> Just one thing you should be sure to check: how the crown reacts to UV light. Real teeth fluoresce!

Sounds like a cool way to embed secret messages on your teeth.
It's stupid to claim that Blizzard is being a "thought-police" when they are acting on recorded game footages where players are being abusive/toxic.

The article also derails a bit as the author chimes in with his personal opinion. IMO they're approaching this the right way.
Amplitude | San Francisco | Full-Time | On-Site

Amplitude builds analytics tools that enable product teams to understand user behavior and use that to improve their products. We're a Series C company with significant revenue, but our engineering team is still quite small and there is a lot of opportunity for ownership. One of the things that we pride ourselves on is that everyone stays close to the customer - engineers are regularly involved with customer meetings, and interact closely with our success team.

We have engineering openings on both our Application team
(Javascript/Flow/React/Redux on the Frontend and Python/GraphQL on the API Layer)
and on our Infrastructure Team
(Python and Java)

We also have openings on most of our other teams, especially Sales and Customer Success.

>> You could say that humanity has repeatedly and organically come to a solution broadly known as government and regulation.

> I disagree vehemently to this proposition. I have never agreed or voted to get those regulations in place. They are not voluntary. But anyone falling for tether today is making an individual decision.

Nevertheless, you benefit from them. It's not like you have to sign up to the regulation that makes your murder illegal. Don't you think it would be foolish to expect every generation to have to rediscover, through trial and error, the benefits of society and government?

Rigetti Tech Blog
Maybe a regional thing then? Or as you hinted you're talking about a different sort of middle class. I grew up in a large family with a single government income, went to school with a lot of kids that were poorer than me (and some richer of course), and so on, and I can't remember a situation where it was just "ok" to talk about anything that made someone's finances explicit.
Yeah, identity is a very crucial and difficult topic, which I did ignore in that post. Reason being: in my experience, as soon as you start about identity, it takes up everything. So I have made a couple of assumptions about authentication and identity; this is what we could build on top of that.
I would argue YC is extremely ambitious, especially under Sam Altman. However, ambition doesn't have to mean immediately investing billions of dollars in new areas. Huge ambitions can start as small experiments to see what's promising. That's how YC itself started too. Like a startup.
First your numbers are off "Crude oil and natural gas accounted for 40% of the country's total export value in 2015.[5] As a share of GDP, the export of oil and natural gas is approximately 17%" And this has been steadily shrinking over time.

Also, don't confuse low population density with high natural resources. The US for example get's for more wealth from oil than Norway. Norway just has a tiny population (5.2M).

Further, the US has a much wider range of natural resources including vast coal deposits, gold, diamonds, etc.

Try a multi-stage build. Fetch your build dependencies in a "modern" environment, like "FROM centos:7 AS build", then drop a "FROM centos:5" in the middle, and "COPY --from=build" the stuff you need.
My wife got a new crown using this new technology but managed to get it chipped in a manner of months. Her dentist reordered a new one using the old method and it is still good so far. Maybe she just got unlucky on the first one. Anyway I've had multiple crowns using the old method and have been pretty durable.
Actually yes, because FDIC backing would mean they've gone through all of the necessary steps to become a real bank. I would have some confidence that they actually have the USD to back up their holdings as they claim. If still turn out to be a scam then at least I'd have something to fall back on, and some people over at the FDIC would have some questions to answer.
I wonder how their rank-and-file do.

When the Damore thing went down Twitter was alight with their righteous indignation but now Google is happy to do business with a regime that regularly executes LGBT and not a squeak. Maybe they are afraid of being labelled racist?
You need to stop putting this off and just get in there. If you let it go long enough, then your teeth and gums will become permanently damaged and you'll need cleanings every 60 days instead of 120, for the rest of your life. If you hate going into the dentist now, just wait until you're on that schedule. I narrowly escaped this fate, but it happened to our project manager.

If you have a lot of cavities to fill, I would advise knocking it all out outside the country. I went to a dentist in Medellin that did an amazing job, basic cosmetic and restorative work on my whole mouth plus the plane tickets and a 21 day stay in an AirBnB totaled out cheaper than my Atlanta dentist wanted for one inlay.
Software That Bullies Users into Paying for Upgrades
I assume you're being facetious, this just isn't true. Brushing and flossing won't re-align teeth, correct major problems for which you have a genetic disposition, address factors beyond your control like the chemistry in your mouth, extra or absent teeth, dry mouth or physiological factors like how you sleep or the impact of respiratory considerations.

Sure, brushing and flossing helps, but to say it eliminates dental professionals is absurd. That's like saying a healthy lifestyle means you'll never need a doctor or visit a hospital.

The paperclip to measure gum pockets is a bad idea.

These paperclips have the potential to infect healthy gum tissue with nasty anaerobic bacteria from pockets that are already infected. Unless you use one clip per pocket, of course.

If you want good measurements of disease progression, it's much better to use e.g. a BANA test that estimates pathogenic bacteria counts. Or if you are really fancy, sample some gum pockets and get a bit of 16S sequencing done with a MinION.
As Carl Sagan put it, "The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
After being interested about material science I also realized that a lot of dentist techniques aren't that complex. Mold, UV cured resin...

I believe the medical glow makes it appear more sophisticated than it appear, justifying the high costs.
I've had a few friends volunteer for this already; in my limited experience they are typically used only for a period of time (weeks not years) and are typically marketed as "use our tracking device and get a safety discount."

It strikes me as creepy, but I might think differently about them if I needed a discount.
I'm disappointed by how few salary ranges I'm seeing in the job postings this month. I've gone through and upvoted those who mention it, and I hope others do too. Make sure to search for $, €, and £.

The rules about books, food, and current events could just as well come from "how to fit in with graduate students in the humanities (and sometimes other disciplines)." Which might explain why I and my friends never "coded" as poor when I was in graduate school, even though I was technically living below the federal poverty line for a few years.

Enumerating badness and blacklisting it is a bad approach in security. I believe that this applies to detecting bullshit. It comes in many forms, including those that make you believe you are cutting through bullshit.

Better form your own set of core non-bullshit beliefs and work from that.

> Move up to the next one?

Yes

> Class mobility is a fallacy

This is patently false. Social mobility is entirely possible, although it has gotten harder since the 1980's, but that wasn't your claim.

> that was invented to support the hierarchy

The hierarchy doesn't need "support". Class and social hierarchy has been observed in every culture since time immemorial. The radical and unfounded claim is the notion that we can "remove" it in any meaningful sense.

> Its not an alternative system in any sense.

Moving into a new social class impacts your life in every conceivable way, from the way you speak, dress, behave, to the job you perform. On an individual level, it absolutely would resemble "systemic" changes to both one's material and immaterial life.

From what i've read, this tech has a lot of potential for savings: Instead of a few appointments, a long process, you can do the work in a single appointment. And you also don't need the materials for the temporary crown.

So this is a classic disruptive technology, in a market where people pay out-of-pocket(if not in the US , in many other places). so why haven't this disrupted the old way?

For people wondering: the current world records are below 5 seconds. They have been achieved with a method called CFOP which is strongly inspired from Fridrich.

Another very different method of solving the cube is called Roux and its best practitioners can solve the cube within 8-9 seconds. It's unclear whether that method will be improved to reach the level of CFOP but it's very elegant and fun to watch (lot of middle slices).
