Apparently, "Don't be Evil" doesn't cover internal company politics.

I remember at a previous job, there was this hefty trans-atlantic data link the company was leasing. All the VPs coveted it, so the political machinations basically resulted in no-one using it, ever, all the while we were paying not-insignificant funds for it.
I guess what I meant was that using hashbase exclusively over http and not switching to using dat:// clients would be somewhat defying the point, but yeah, it's a good bridge.
The NFC versions of YubiKeys (only the NEO I believe) support TOTP with their app. The model I have supports 28 slots.
Well stated. In the west, we have veered from one extreme (pro-male) to another extreme ( pro-female ).

One example is false rape accusations. People say false rape accusations are bad because it makes it that harder for women who have been raped to be believed. No mention of men whose lives are destroyed by false rape accusations. Even when it's women lying about rape, the focus is on other women and how it harms them. Never about the males who are languishing in prison or have their lives destroyed by false accusations.

Another example is female dominated professions. The media seems to be obsessed with "diversifying" male dominated professions like engineering/software development. But nobody talks about diversifying female dominated professions. 77% of public school teachers in the US are female. This is a government job. Shouldn't the media be focusing on the lack of diversity in education? To put this in perspective, google ( a focus of the media's crusade for "diversity" ) is 69% male and 31% female.

And then there is nonsense like "toxic" masculinity. Can you imagine if people talked about "toxic" femininity? They'd be branded a bigot and attacked mercilessly.

That's like saying stupid people have different brain activity than smart people. Isn't that a given? So should we give stupid people stimulants so they can become an unnatural and unlasting form of themselves? What happens when they need to get off the stimulants -- and they forgot what it was like to actually try to focus because the stimulants screwed with their brains' dopaminergic reward system?

Why should someone with a harder time focusing not improve their focus through actual lasting discipline?

Speed isn't the antichrist but it sure as hell isn't some great therapeutic fix for people with some minorly bad stats.
I was more thinking that the stock market is being gamed by a massive amount of computers where as I don't see that happening in VC yet.
Medium.

I had a 3.2 in Computer Science which was just enough to let other things shine when I was getting out of undergrad in a lukewarm economy. Later it was enough to not hinder my getting into a name brand grad school, which was a big benefit. (Signaling and networking more than anything else) I was never asked about GPA outside those cases.

I suspect if I got a 2.0 I may not have learned enough along the way.
Thanks! We're actually in touch with the WhatsApp team and they like what we're doing - we're working with them to be able to access their API, but it is still in the early stages. We're envisioning interesting scenarios for creating translation groups using WhatsApp and leveraging their end-to-end encryption to enhance privacy.

Almost every refugee we met has WhatsApp and they use it much more profusely than Messenger, especially for groups. The one exception being Farsi speakers who live primarily in Telegram. They all use Messaging apps as a lifeline to their families back home and an outlet to the wider world, so they're almost all willing to buy data plans and get a smartphone.

It's definitely now also a Far Left talking point. Larry Wilmore basically went back to the old 60's, "Why is there poverty, and we're putting men on the moon?" There's a scene somewhere where he's telling Bill Nye to STFU about his Science. This brings to mind Phillip DeFranco's t-shirt about substituting feelings for facts.
I don't think anyone really agrees that it's right, it's just that peers won't enforce the law against each other, especially if nobody above them will.

The hard thing is making large sheets and single layer. Multi-layer and small sheets is pretty easy. Too many sheets, and you have graphite though. But those small chunks have some useful properties (same with CNTs, which you can make with a detonation). Also, realize that they don't have 0 resistance (which is a superconductor), read as "it creates heat". This limits the amount of current that you can drive through it. So there's still a lot of problems that need to be solved. But there are definitely huge interests in also looking at using it for filtering molecules. But this is also difficult to do with precision. And that's the root of the problem, precision and consistency. I know that doesn't exactly answer your question, but all I can say is that it feels like we are close.

Unrelated: as a CS undergrad, I read this article and was immediately inspired. This is definitely the type of work I want to be doing when I graduate (infrastructure engineering). But my next thought was: where do I start?!

Any advice?
He sure did. Go back in and scroll right down to the bottom. There's an awesome picture of it.
It's certainly possible. I PM at Gigster and have seen some BE Engineers switch to being PM's on the network--some successfully and some unsuccessfully.

Joining our network and seeing how it's done on a project by project basis is not a bad start :-).

My view on PM'ing is very similar to what makes a good 'salesperson' or 'consultant'. There are certainly similar traits among large swathes of successful people, but there's no 'rule'. PM'ing a software framework is very different from PM'ing a social network, which should be obvious.

From a backend dev perspective, you should have some perspectives in looking at an overall system and fully understanding what will be required. You'll have empathy for the work when requirements change. That will help.

Of course building the skills that MBA's,'brought up' PM's, and people who started in sales / marketing will take a while to brush up on. Product School can help.

However, the best advice I'd say about PM'ing is starting to build things and get feedback from users. If you don't enjoy or cant:
1) Decide a problem to solve, along with a goal
2) Figure out a path to solve that problem
and
3) Iterate and learn based on feedback

PM'ing probably will not be a fulfilling career choice.

Counterintuitive Properties of High Dimensional Space
On the other hand, these criteria seem like they would encompass a good deal of all fiction.
I too ended up replacing all channels with a mutex or two in a small web socket relay server in Go, and things became 10x easier to reason about.

I think part of the problem is the lack of usage/support for channels in the Go stdlib itself (seems that the stdlib authors also prefer mutexs). The other issue with sending a close msg on a channel to let the consumer know there will be no more messages, and that an error is thrown if you write to a closed channel.
It's not just about returns but also diversification. An open VC would allow people to invest in early-stage companies, not just mid/late-stage companies like the stock market. You'd never want to have too much of it because of the enhanced risk but a small allocation for diversity wouldn't be bad.
To be self critical, I think there was a lot of, "We've got this cool hammer, let's make everything a nail" sort of thing going on where the perspective stuff was grafted onto a lot of areas better left alone. That said, the tilt scrolling on web pages was actually very nice to use (remember it was based on the angle to your eyes, not the physical phone angle, so you could use it lying down). And like I said, applications where it was helpful to glance around a 3D object, was quite compelling. But yeah, there were too many areas where the effect was used where it probably didn't need to be.

> If you need to mentally track every implicit allocation and deallocation in Java then you are essentially writing code in a kneecapped version of C++.

Well, Java has the advantage of being platform (and to a certain degree, runtime) independent, plus a robust set of best practices and ecosystem when it comes to modules and library handling, which is pretty hard to get done right for C/C++ projects.
Why would you serialize a pending network request? I use a property whitelist in my serializer that drops any application state not related to the business logic. Also, I don't use redux-thunk, I move all async operations to middleware and action creators are synchronous and declarative. For example, an API request will be defined in an action creator as an endpoint, http method, and request body, and the middleware will intercept this, make the API calls, and dispatch "pending" and "success/failure" actions. It scales extremely well and I don't know why people don't use custom middleware more often. The currying is a little confusing if you've never been exposed to it before, but the concept is no different than middleware in pretty much any http framework. I have yet to run into a problem that can't be solved by a custom middleware chain more cleanly than crazy async action frameworks like saga (I know saga works great for some folks but I think the cognitive overhead makes it of questionable utility when a promise chain in middleware can solve the same problem without requiring everyone on your team learn yet another library).

Blue Apron stopped making sense for me when Uber Eats started delivering to my house. It's just too expensive.

For $9.00 per meal, and a family of 4, I can just get delivery from most of my favorite restaurants. (More Choice, Same Price, Tastes Better, Much Easier)

I guess Blue Apron is healthier than what I typically order, but I could choose to order healthy if I wanted to... which I usually don't.

Yeah, I implemented a state loop since my process is relatively short-lived. I'm sure anyone who knows Python would hate my code, and I'm not particularly proud of that: I simply don't know the usual idioms.

I was excited when I discovered accidentally that tuple unpacking in function heads was supported in Python, then depressed when I discovered that was dropped in Python 3, "because no one uses it". Sigh.

A stimulant isn't a therepeutic drug. It's a hard drug with straightforward effects. Increased pleasure and increased activity, via dopaminergic and norepinephrine pathways, respectively.[1]

If you aren't having those effects you are most likely taking close to a maintanence dose, to avoid the rebound effect that comes with physical dependence.

If a person has trouble sleeping due to self control issues, should they just patch it over with addictive drugs like benzodiazepenes? Or should they try to discipline themselves by adapting to their unique brain and body, for lasting change?

Is this the same court expert who allegedly used unreadable code printouts (that nevertheless look different at a distance) to establish non-literal code copying and whose expert testimony is still under court seal instead of in the public record? It's hard to draw any inferences from that trial as an outsider. You'd do better to focus on the stories in Masters of Doom that show dubious ethics (like 'borrowing' work resources to work on games you later sell to get money and be free from the job where you were borrowing resources). Of course to some of us those ethics aren't really that dubious, it's the law that has dubious ethics.
This is awesome! I have friends who regularly volunteer at refugee camps and I'm sure they'd love this.

That's always a misconception about Australia, as someone who has lived in both.

The NBN failed largely because of a government ideology that neutered it from FTTH to FTTN, if that.

Australia is fairly equivalent to the US for many areas with the exception of the (relatively) uninhabited interior.

If you combined a list of US and Australian cities by population, the top five Australian cities would be in the top 10:

New York (8.5M), Sydney (5.0M), Melbourne (4.7M), LA (3.9M), Chicago (2.7M), Brisbane (2.3M), Houston (2.2M), Perth (2.0M), Philadelphia (1.6M), Adelaide (1.5M).

The notion of Australia as quaint rural villages is used as an excuse by defenders of the status quo. The US is just so unique, "Oh, it's bigger", "more dense", "cities are different here", etc., et al.
That time was at least 2-3 years ago. If you're ditching SMS 2FA today, you're probably one of the last people to do so.

> The same issue comes up with the word theory to scientists vs it's meaning in the common vernacular.

Yes, and just as we ignore people who dismiss evolution because "it's just a theory", we should take the same attitude towards people who conflate lobbbying and campaign contributions, because they clearly don't understand how the democratic process works, and acting on their demands is actively harmful.

> What you've stated is true by the technical definition of the term, but lobbying in the _common vernacular_ of the United States is synonymous with paying money.

Yes, and the "common vernacular" is wrong and actively harmful. The two things are completely unrelated, and perpetuating the conflation makes it harder to understand what's actually going on.

If you think something is broken, you actually have to understand how it's broken in order to fix it. There's no virtue in going out of your way to make it more difficult for people to understand how things work. That's how you end up with people wasting time advocating "reforms" that span the range from "well-intentioned but redundant and/or ineffective" to "completely self-contradictory and nonsensical".
