I was a military wife. We moved a lot. Where you go is less important than your parenting policies.

My oldest has had sleep issues from birth and was a boatload of trouble in the form of curiosity killed the cat and you can't tell me no. He's a handful.

From age 2, he was taught to keep himself entertained and out if trouble so I could sleep a little while he was up nights. He was taught to tell me when he spilled stuff in the middle of the night so I could clean it up. He did not get in trouble. He only got asked what he spilled so I could clean it up properly.

I gave my kids a lot of latitude and worked with them to make sure their needs were adequately met. I did a whole lot of dealing with the woman in the mirror and trying to not hang my crap on them. I facilitated their interests and made sure they were reasonably safe.

I did things like rent Jurassic Park and watched it first, then watched it with them so I could pause it and warn them about icky surprise scenes. They very much wanted to see it they weren't that old. I made it as comfortable and not traumatic as I could and let them have their way.

I started with laying that foundation from birth. By the time they were teens, we had a good relationship. They never went through rebel teen crap. They didn't need to. There was nothing to rebel against.

> from what I can tell its main selling point is that it teaches you to examine things in a critical way that's very aware of the argument in question, the assumptions made, and the structure the argument sits in.

That's definitely a big (and important) part of it. There's an unfortunate dearth of critical thinking and examination of ideas these days. I have theories as to why that is, but it's out of scope for this discussion so I will abstain.

Another big part of philosophy as well is to familiarize the student with the big ideas with the hope that they can be further refined, to drive both the individual thinker forward, and hopefully humanity as a whole as well.

For example, I think a hugely valuable part of philosophy training is the study of ethics. So many people (software engineers and companies included) don't really stop to think about the ethics surrounding what they are doing. This is a mistake, IMHO. I highly recommend reading about and understanding Immanuel Kant's work in this area, especially his categorical imperative and hypothetical imperative. Comparing/contrasting that with Jon Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism, and conducting various thought experiments makes for a good time (you can tell I'm quite the partier :-D ).

My preferred term for this is “zero to pixels”. QB’s was very low—basically unmatched by most modern environments, which require considerably more setup; although that’s partly because they’re intended for more “serious” programming.

I'll just point out that the SVP of engineering, a former Microsoft exec, received $34 million in compensation, since joining less than 6 months ago.

For all employees that are considering joining a startup as rank-and-file engineers and putting in years of effort, remember that your compensation will be paltry compared to founders and top execs. When your work finally pays off, it will mostly pay off for them.

Good for you if you're OK with that extreme imbalance. But, I know too many people that discovered only upon an exit, that the financial reward was never destined for them.

That, and evaluating statements on their own (dubious in this case) merit is a good thing, always. Even very smart and accomplished people can say things which deserve careful scrutiny, and may come up short.
I think most people don't have a use for thinking of reality in these terms until they struggle with something that brings them to this line of questioning or unless they are just naturally very curious and have a lot of free time. As far as I know, the practice of mindfulness (which I'm assuming is a necessity for getting a more objective view of the world) is just as esoteric today in the East where these practices originated from.. only the philosophy underpinning the practice may be seen as less foreign over there.

"It's also unclear to me how exactly philosophy is better preparation. My own experience with academic philosophy is limited, but from what I can tell its main selling point is that it teaches you to examine things in a critical way that's very aware of the argument in question, the assumptions made, and the structure the argument sits in."

This really depends on the kind of philosophy you study, which philosophers you're interested in, and how you engage with and react to what you learn.

Asking what you get from studying philosophy is a little like asking what you get from reading books. It really depends on which books you read, how you read them, who you are, what stage of your life you're in, etc. The same books might speak differently to different people, and even to the same person at another stage in their life.

The English-speaking world (and increasingly the rest of the world) is dominated by analytic philosophy, which is one lens, or perhaps a family of lenses, to view philosophy through. But there's also continental philosophy, ancient philosophy, Eastern philosophy/religion, Pragamatism, etc. Each of them brings something different to the table, and has the potential to transform the way you understand the world.

Sure, philosophy can help with critical thinking skills, but to limit it to that is to ignore the content of what one actually learns and engages with. At its best, it can't be reduced to just a bundle of skills, set of knowledge, or "selling point".
> When your work finally pays off, it will mostly pay off for them.

Well, it'll mostly pay off for major capital holders (which founders are likely but not certain to be, depending on the course of business before then, and top executives at the time may or may not.) Top executives as such (outside of their role, if any, as capital holders) may get more benefit than you, but even if so it will be much less than the capital holders.

The short answer is that RAID is not a backup solution.
Because philosophy is seen as the de facto "worthless" degree in pop culture? Philosophy majors don't need to earn more in the future. Computer science majors just have to earn less. Something that isn't completely unrealistic. The BLS shows that developer incomes are already in decline.

Pay, of course, is determined by supply and demand. Developers currently do well because there are more jobs than people, but that can quickly change (and is changing, albeit slowly). The most common job in America only makes up about 3-4% of the entire workforce. Even if software jobs overtake that and grow to be the most common job in existence, but 10% of the population are willing and capable of being developers (not unbelievable given the current push by the education system to turn everyone into developers), it'll trend towards being a minimum wage job.

And that's assuming that the software labour industry grows substantially from its present size. Cuban is expecting it to shrink as AI takes on more and more development tasks which, if true, will mean we will need even fewer software professionals than we need today.
Cuban's stake in Broadcast.com's was worth about $100M before they sold to Yahoo, and since the sale to Yahoo, he's managed to over double his net worth via the Mavericks and his business interests. He may not be Gates, but I think he's more than a lottery winner.
Right, and money often buys power in government as well so we cannot rely on the judicial system to curb these abuses of the law and due process.
Thanks, but I suffer no significant impairment from my lower-than normal empathy; I therefore by definition do not suffer from a personality disorder.
"need to read a couple of books." No. Just no. You are wrong about energy. Power plants do not just burn a steady state amount of fuel. You are also wrong about capital if that is the "energy" you misnamed - capital is created all the time, not debt but actual prosperity through innovation. Please refrain from your "read a book to be like me" humdrum. I am a mathematician - I know enough economics to be quizzically annoyed by the falsities spoken

I think that it’s possible they realize privacy concerns are not foremost in the minds of people looking to hook up with perfect strangers. I would guess that “random hookup” and “serious about security” will tend to be mutually exclusive.
> One of my favorite irrational behaviour is the one in which people value object they got more than the equivalent price in which they could buy//sell that object.

Art is also a good example. Art is globally unique, so what does it even mean for art to be worth $X? Seems like the only "value" of art is the price the next guy is willing to pay. The price is undefined until it's not.

On the other hand, if I have a fake Van Gogh, I would not be emotional upon liquidating it because it is fungible; some computer and printer somewhere can easily reproduce the piece if I ever need it again. In addition, the price is well-defined because fakes have a well-defined manufacturing cost associated with them. An authentic Van Gogh has an infinite manufacturing cost as the guy is dead.
It never was and never will be. We like to pretend that employees are so fairly compensated, and yet I had to fight tooth and nail to get a mere 2% equity. The thought of an equity stake closer to 10% was almost unheard of. But you bet I'd have had an impact large enough to justify those returns, in the sense of http://paulgraham.com/equity.html

Except... It's not quite that simple. Most people don't care. The vast majority of programmers simply do not care enough to band together and force employers to give you a higher stake.

I'm not even insinuating that a union would be a good idea. I'm saying, in a free market society, you can't be surprised to find out you just aren't worth making rich.

I believe GP is referring to people exercising options.
> Do 2 months of consistent 3-5 times 1 hour moderate cardio a week. This will prepare your body for the more intense exercise you can start doing after the 2 months are up.

Maybe I wasn't clear about this: I don't know how to maintain a consistent intensity when exercising. I don't have any particular awareness of my heart rate or respiration rate going up unless I stop and literally count. I don't have any sense of how fatigued I am until a good 15-30 minutes after I'm done, and even then it's quite vague.
It also doesn't manage failover. Shared storage is a totally viable approach. (I've worked as a PostgreSQL DBA for over a decade and have built multiple shared storage-based HA environments for multiple employers.)

If you mis-manage failover, you will destroy your data. This makes proper backup even more important.

Yeah except imagine instead when you should be due that commission but then they find a creative way to bake it into a new cushy position that they carve out just for you (with no more comms on other deals) and they pay that comm out to you over 5-10 years. And in the process, putting you in a position you dislike in an effort to hope you'll leave some of it at the table.

I clearly outlined many competitors similar to Dbox that offer end-to-end encryption: (SpiderOak, Tresorit, Sync.com, pCloud). NextCloud (open source self-hosted Dropbox alternative) also just launched end-to-end encryption.

I cant second this enough. I echoed a lot of the same enthusiasm initially when getting into crossfit-style exercises but have slowly realized that heavy barbell/weight exercises is not that great for 5x a week training. I used to wear myself out to the point that my joints were aking so much that I had to take 1-2 weeks off just to come back to my old volume lifts. Its very easy to get too enthusiastic and it hurts more and more the older you are.

Not used the term positive selection. If they hadn't done that this would have been boring, but fine.
There's always a justification.
Honest question: how old are you? 20 years ago, I thought there was no way the drug war could continue. I thought the revelation of wiretapping in the AT&T datacenter would be the beginning of the end for illegal surveillance. I've given time and money continuously over that time, and watched the issues I care about most get worse. There seems to me to be no realistic mechanism for change. Do you really think that, in this situation, doing anything other than paying whatever the IRS demands is fraud?

Another article points to the fact that they also play the scarcity card and limit the supply per year. 574 bars, at $300 a piece actually limits their profits significantly (even if they do manage to sell all 574, after marketing and expenses- distribution, packaging)... just how much of a business is this? Is it worth it for the team behind To'ak? And wouldn't scaling the number of bars made, in time, diminish their value?

From how I see it, the long term strategy would have to be to develop the brand name, then sell more bars at a lower price, and then ALSO create an extra-premium bar at an even larger premium price. It all leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

This particular article is referring to cryogels, not cryogenics, although I can’t say I haven’t made the same mistake in the past.

If I understand correctly, the cells aren’t being put into any form of sleep at all, merely being preserved and fed within the gel.
