If you like it, I just ask that you help spread the word. Starting investing when your young is so, so important. And unfortunately the core essentials are often diluted with unnecessary complexities in most of the mainstream books. That's why I wrote this one.
If those high wage earning survivors are also paying high wages to all the other survivors, then are they actually better off? My gut reaction is no, less people means less work is being done and you lose a lot of economies of scale.
The One Million Jobs request is a farce designed simply to signal
"the next uber need apply here".

Why? Because it doesn't clarify full-time vs part-time (example - if I sell an item on eBay for a profit, is that a job?) and it doesn't take any consideration into the creative destruction or shifting of already present jobs (e.g. - Uber didn't create one million net new jobs)

> Originally created during the Python 2.4 days, we've tried to keep the content universal and exercises relevant, even for newer releases. As mentioned on the setup page, this material covers Python 2. While we recommend "avoiding" Python 3 for now, recognize that it is the future, as all new features are only going there.
No idea if this will work but an interesting motivational trick could be to put aside some of your money into a separate account and use it as a budget to "pay" yourself for tedious yet important tasks you want done.
I also think in light of recent events I think we'd benefit from people educating themselves on the actual state of free trade with respect to China, China is far more protectionist than the US, but if we try to do something about it, it's considered to be starting a trade war.

Moto E4 can be had for ~$130 unlocked. I got one as a temporary replacement for my beloved Moto G LTE until I could find a decent 4.5" phone. I'm mostly happy with it other than I wish it was smaller.

The Samsung 2017 A3 is what I wish I could get but thanks to pointless market segmentation, the only variant that works well in North America is impossible to buy and it's now being obsoleted by a replacement with a 5" screen.
>24-30k per year

that's better than the average in Portugal.

If you go to USA working at a job getting $100k a year you probably pay 30k or more in taxes.

You're forgetting the cost of living.
If you start at 25, saving 10% of your salary into a 401k and never get divorced, spend <30% of your gross income on housing, and don't borrow to spend more than you make 90% of the time you will come out alright.

> If successfully saving for retirement was so straightforward and deterministic, there wouldn’t be an entire industry, with consultants and books, built up around trying to help people hopelessly navigate it.

There is a full industry. Saving money (for people with incomes above the median), like losing weight is simple. Yet there are still fat people and broke people.

Society affirms our rights to all of these things. You, a member of society, are affirming them right now and many others agree with you. Our (The US's) legal system, on the other hand, doesn't affirm any of these rights. That's because, as others have mentioned, our rights are almost all negative. Proscribe things that the government and other institutions could do to you. The "right to life" is a line from our declaration of independence. Which is, legal speaking, just some nice words someone once wrote, it's not something that will compel a court to rule in your favor. Courts, despite what you say, are actually quite logical on this matter. The right to life is completely illogical, how can you have a right to something which, by it's very nature you must eventually lose?

I don't think "deep, meaningful relationships with people online" can truly be effective as a solution until we solve the "endorphins/oxytocin/dopamine deficiency problems". As a species we evolved a ton of inter-related neural pathways that "feed" on inter-personal physical touch as a activator. (Everyone could use at least one 20 second hug a day to light up those pathways.) Loneliness is going to remain a problem, despite well formed and meaningful online relationship groups, so long as people remain touch deficient. It's quite possible we could medicate that visceral, species-wide need away in the near future, but at least for now, physical relationships are always going to have that profligate advantage of primal neural hormone joy that we need to feel less "lonely", even and especially in a crowd of (virtual) friends.
A future 'true' driverless truck would likely not have any human controls. Or the controls would be computer locked and would require a code to be activated.

> Truckers get paid per hour of work, less work == less money.

Such a trivial and stupid reason to guide the future of technology and the human conditions. Of course people want to be home with their families instead of driving for weeks on end.

I find it dizzying that we think we can automate all of the matter around us to do what pleases us, but the matter of changing the socioeconomic configuration to match it seems a bridge too far. Come on now.

The economy (and society) will change, and this dude can stay with his family. Sounds great.

Hilarious! Can you say more about that situation. I love these kinds of stories and been bullied myself especially by last boss.

It was "regular job" in IT but if you left home before 9pm people were looking wierd at you. Plenty of good folks work there but you know how it is when environment rots you either lower your standard or you out (thats why Im personally out)

My favorite comments by my bullying boss:

If you have family, dont work here.

Everyone here knows they dont see their family till late night, except of you.

You are not C-level managment, you are on a McDonald salary here (altho wasn't tru)

Fine leave at 8 (job description said 8-5), i will write it in your report. Will see how its stacks up against others.

> They also don't care at all about short-term vs long-term consequences.

Prices don't care about externalities. External consequences, not consequences per some sort of time window. Markets are actually often as good as can be expected at taking time into account at least as it may pertain to a particular good in question.

> Are there things like airplanes that defy market forces in a controlled manner

Markets exist because there are finite amounts of things, you can't really defy that. It would be nice if tradeoffs never needed to exist.

The advice is not all bad. I certainly agree that slicing a problem into small, concrete steps that can be achieved in less than a day (and then less than an hour, and then in the next five minutes...) as one of the central skills a programmer needs to develop.

I think what is missing is the exploration of how thinking of ourselves as "smart guys" makes us worse at our jobs. Intelligence isn't a substitute for being a good programmer. Churning out lots of useful, dependable, maintainable code involves a large body of acquired skills, habits and knowledge. When we pretend what matters is how "smart" we are, we get defensive when we get advice that we could do better, because "what, are you calling me dumb!?!!" We also blame other people's mistakes on their lack of intelligence, instead of considering how they could learn or how the system could change to better support them.

Study after study shows that a growth mindset leads to better outcomes: programming should embrace it.

I remember my freshman year of college, I was told how some 60% of what I learn will be out-of-date by the time I graduate. I always thought that was a ridiculous statement. But nevertheless - the prime example was Python. At the time we were being taught Python 2.7 or so, we were told how by the time we graduate - most of the world will be using Python 3.X

The title doesn't really explain, but this is basically an introduction an engineer-turned-manager (Rands, aka Michael Lopp [1] - currently VP Engineering at Slack) is giving to a new employee.

It's what you wish your manager sent you the first day you started working, and if you have people that report to you, should inspire you to at least think about what you would say to and how you currently act with them.

Worth a read.

Are the people living in vehicles not minding their own business? How do you know the people living in homes are respecting the law?

You didn't remove rows, you had an unscheduled test of your restore procedures.

I've done something similar before, forgot to disable autocommit in DataGrip and ran an UPDATE without a where clause - thankfully we take weekly full backups, nightly incrementals and archive log segments so I shut down the database, performed a point-in-time-restore and the damage was undone.

This was actually a good teaching moment, said database is used as a holding area for incoming data from hospitals before we load it into our billing system so our EDI team has limited write permissions on the database - it's much harder for them to run a "oops, time to grab a backup" query but it was a nice anecdote to use when telling them to run everything in a transaction if they're running anything other than SELECT statements.

Of course, if we'd started off European, she wouldn't have the student debt. Bit of a bummer there.

> Go apps are stripped down version of their normal counterpart.

They're slightly smaller, but the update model is still a total mess. You can never uninstall the baked in Google Apps, and updates are extremely bulky (basically storing a 2nd copy of each Google app).

The #1 & #2 non-Apple phone manufacturers are totally uninterested, and Xiaomi (the current Android One leader) is effectively banned from India after spying on millions.

Nokia, the #3 phone manufacturer (excluding Apple), is showing tepid interest in Android One:

A) I'm in the midst of some broad-based research around loneliness and technology, and if you'd be willing to take a 5 minute survey, or even better, spread it beyond the tech community, I'd appreciate it so much. I'm working with a number of respected academics in the field, and currently the goal is looking at a significant data set to better identify opportunities. This research will be shared publicly. Here's the link if you're willing to share http://bit.ly/connecting-survey

B) this article in particular seems a little lacking in convincing evidence, but I think there's a good argument to be made that in the world of Psychology and social science, there's rarely one factor that can be causally identified for cultural issues. That said, there does seem to be enough evidence to support the idea that social connection, and even our self-perception about social connection, has real impact on health and societal factors. Caveat: I have not read this author's book, but the title does seem to imply he's got an outlook he may promote.

If you drive down my friend's neighborhood in North Virginia, you see house after house of moms with law-degrees, math degrees, engineering degrees, most with Masters, who said "fuck working" after 5-10 years and decided to become stay-at-home. All with substantial student debt that they didn't work long enough to justify.

The number of women who WANT to work is a lot lower than everyone wants to admit. And when they see the option to leave the working world, many of them take it. So much education that just gets wasted when they realize that having a career is not nearly as fulfilling as they have been led to believe.

If I won the lottery tomorrow, my first thought would be "sweet, we can afford a third kid!"
Personally, I do not want to find new people to follow, because the majority of the time they will not follow me. This system leads to an awful feeling of asymmetry, where anything I post gets almost no interaction while I am constantly seeing a few hyper popular accounts. I think I just don't like the consumption model of social media, I want interaction with peers, not the latest hot take from a celebrity account.

I don't think my Twitter account will make it to the end of 2018.

The air this thruster gathers isn't used as fuel, only as propellant. The energy needed to accelerate the propellant and generate thrust still has to come from somewhere.

Aircraft don't need propellant; they can simply "push off" of the air (via propellers, turbofan engines, etc); so this mechanism is useless for them. They still need fuel to run their engines, which this device doesn't provide.

I have deployed ML algorithms into production including computer vision and data science models. From my experience, it's based on the application and cost we are comfortable with.

1. Keras/Tensorflow based algorithm(Applicable for any compute intensive or GPU-capable algorithm): Deployed the method (as a flask service) inside a Docker container along with a queueing system(for reliability w/ redis). We can now decide the server type and the kind of orchestration tool we can use to manage these containers. Following are some options for it,

a. ECS on AWS
b. Kubernetes
c. Docker Swarm
d. custom orchestration tool

2. If your ML model is a simpler with a small (enough) model size, then using Lambdas on AWS would also work. This can provide high throughput and low cost per request if your computation time isn't very high.

Tips:

i. Have the memory flush in the code after the service is used so that there is no memory leak.
ii. You can use tools such as htop to understand the memory usage.
iii. Regarding system performance, you can use prometheus to gather stats along with grafana dashboard to view them.

I consider CI/CD essential for achieving a seamless workflow for a data scientist, and after having faced the same problems ourselves, our team and I have been working on Datmo, a tool to help companies more easily and cost-effectively deploy + manage their models in production.
