Exactly. I have tried "Voluntary Homework" with even upper level classes--it doesn't work.

I generally put homework at about 5% of grade. You can avoid doing it and still get the grade you want, but it's a bit of an obstacle. And most decent students will do the homework anyhow.

Intro classes don't get that option. I put it at about 25% of the grade.

It’s not a conspiracy, its the innovator’s dilemma. It’s the fact that getting to a point where you can compete on margins would force you to invest all of the margins of your existing company (and possibly then some), and being unwilling to do so.

I believe this is shortsighted thinking. They’ll have fat margins for now, and then a few years from now it’ll be too late. Companies like Tesla that are fine absolutely incinerating cash and playing with death in order to make it work will have a serious headstart.
Power systems also have an absurdly sized L3 cache. Case in point: Power9 is advertised to have 120MB of L3 cache.

I'm sure there are a lot of problems that fit inside of 120MB.

Millimeters is not a useful unit of collected water! Granted millilitres wouldn't be much better without time as well.
I am all for taking a look at these privacy issues and seeing if we can develop some new regulations to address these concerns but the way the media covers this story is a complete joke. Obama was labeled a political geniuses who was truly in-touch with the young generation when he used the Facebook graph api to micro target ads but when Trump campaign uses the exact same approach to micro target ads it is a despicable act that assisted in "theft" of the election.

EDIT: In an attempt to protect my karma from those who have drunk far to much kool-aid I should point out I did not vote for Trump and I think he is a total clown. I just think the current clickbait/outrage media culture is far more a danger to the american values I cherish then 3 more years of this ass-hat.
Surely there is still a distinction between knowing that people use your product to do bad things & knowing that specific people are doing specific bad things and continuing to allow it.

His tactics are snake oil. No question. His other devices, and things certainly fit the bill.

But the actual concept of taking in more fats, versus carbohydrates in a keto way, is not. The science is not particularly mixed.

He had 1 good idea, and then marketed it to spread it. Then tried to monetize it, and through that had no more good ideas, so became more and more snake oil in an attempt to duplicate the success of the first good idea.
I co-teach an upper-level undergraduate class where the students create independent programming projects - the computer science students couldn't copy anyone else in the class's code even if they wanted to, as it wouldn't make any sense for their context.

Perhaps the solution is to be more creative with how computer science education is taught? If the students are copying homework problems they don't understand, they're not going to do well on the projects or exams that might be part of the rest of their grade.
For this idea to work I think you need to auto terminate the instances when no players are online. Otherwise you’re asking your users to remember to terminate the server when they’re done playing, lest they be surprised with a $180 bill at the end of the month.

Forcing a company to hire someone against their will, or forcing them to keep an already hired employee against their will is not the same as "allowing them to compete."
Really? I keep on reading about we work remotely, but there are zero jobs that are well-paying enough. There is also a dearth of programming jobs.

It's similarly irritating that they send an email all the time reminding me I'll lose my account. Well, yeah, try screening your companies and ban jobs that you can't do unless your homeless.

A. Many of the people who today specify datacenter hardware came into that career as enthusiasts (aka "early adopters") and are more comfortable recommending what they have experience with.

B. Enthusiasts bring the consumer volume that drives down production cost. This is a necessary driver of Moore's law.

This opinion will change. I 100% guarantee it. A few years ago, I had the exact same reasoning for starting freelancing on the side. I even justified my desire for more paid work as "I'd be programming on personal things anyway."

So, I took a freelance job. I thought it'd take about 6mo of weekend work. And I took it at 40% of my normal day-job rate because, it was "friend" work, and, again, "I'd be programming anyway."

It took two years.

That was two years of nights and weekends that did not belong to me. Two years of not being able to devote time to exploring other technologies, learning new things, or just goofing off. I took vacations from my day job to work on my side project because I was so desperate to get it done and have freedom again.

The opportunity costs involved are absolutely massive and should be heavily weighed before deciding to take on more work.

What makes you think people from a country know everything about every part of their own country, especially one as large and culturally diverse as Mexico? Sometimes outsiders can know something they don't.

Many Americans might not have heard of "crawfish étouffé" and therefore assume it's not American food. A foreign tourist who has visited New Orleans could (quite authoritatively) correct them.

Btw, I'd be willing to bet that I have more contact with people from Sonora than the typical person from Puebla has.

Cambridge Analytica was a wild violation of academic research ethics
Threadripper also only has 8MB of L3 cache per CCX, and you can't hold more than 8MB of data. (true, there are 4x CCX per chip, but you can't "combine" the datasets. You're effectively limited to 8MB per 4-cores. To communicate cross-CCX requires an expensive ping to main-memory) Its a great architecture, but cross-CCX communication is relatively slow and definitely is a concern for some work problems.

Power9 has 120MB of L3 cache that's shared between all cores. Which means you can ACTUALLY have a full 120MB-sized problem set and share all that information between cores.

In short: Threadripper is great for sure, but its not necessarily a fair comparison. In an apples-to-apples comparison (ie: Monero Mining), it seems like a Power9 server is 3x better than Threadripper (Power9 gets ~3000 hash/sec, while Threadripper is roughly 1000 hash/sec).

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=POWER9-C...

> Using the xmr-stak-power PPC64LE-focused Monero miner, they are seeing great performance with it running on dual pre-production 16-core POWER9 processors. There's a hash rate of 2945H/s while this POWER9 system is pulling 350 Watts DC power.

And mind you: Monero / Cryptonight only uses 2MB of L3 per core. So that's practically Threadripper's ideal problem. Imagine if you actually had a dataset that was larger than the 8MB per CCX that Threadripper is limited to.

Not to hate on Threadripper at all. Its cheap and high performance. I'm seriously considering a Threadripper system myself. But these Power9 specs are incredible, and I'd definitely like to test one if I could afford one.
While a valid point, there are times when we need to recognize that emotional reactions are best ignored. If I get cut off in traffic, the initial emotional response might be to ram the other person's vehicle or some other violent act. While anger is perfectly valid, in this situation it would be best avoided.
I mean, the recent focus on violent video games is an entirely emotional reaction, but at this point there's been enough studies conducted that we can safely conclude that no, playing violent games doesn't contribute to real world violence, so we should let logic inform our emotional reactions.
Clouds are quite cheap. Most of them drop most of their water over areas that would not significantly suffer from a marginal reduction of rainfall (the oceans, the arctics, mountain ranges).

And a dryer average atmosphere should be partially compensated by increased evaporation from the oceans. Overall, this technology should be applicable on a continental scale before it shows any measurable effect on other areas.
Another con is that no matter how wrong the payer is, the freelancer loses every case. They truly don't care about you.

I would pay $400+ for each week of work I do just to be tossed under the bus. I closed my account as well.
Thanks, I really like your article. I have some follow up questions:

- When you're blogging, do you have a method to figure out what to write about? Are there "types" of posts that are more successful for you than others?

- You said that most of your work comes from referrals now. What do you think about people trying to get in the game and start making free tools for a specific industry like (i.e. construction) to generate leads? I know some startups use this as a marketing tactic, like HubSpot's website grader. Then just freely promoting that tool in a group of LinkedIn construction executives.
Coming from NorCal, everyone seems to think they are an expert on what 'authentic' Mexican food is, even if they've never been there or only to a resort. There's also a strong tendency toward fetishism of truly crappy food, which people cutely term 'simple' or 'rustic' but which often is in fact poorly prepared and overly salted and made from the cheapest of ingredients.

It's a shame, because these people seem to be unaware of how large a country Mexico is, with myriad cultural influences and traditions, regional variations, and a vibrant modern food culture, especially in regards to Mexico City.

The taco truck under the BART tracks in Oakland with the $6 heart-attack (and heart-burn) burritos doesn't serve traditional/authentic Mexican food, it serves traditional Cali/NorCal Taco Truck food. If you love it, that's great, but honor it by celebrating what it really is, which is a separate food tradition that is wonderful in it's own way.
Hey! Don't knock canned refried beans. They are low in saturated fats, have good quality protein. And tasty! Its too easy to use the word 'processed' when it just means 'cooked'.

What do you call the work that needed to be done in order to remove the existing electrical cables in my house and replace them with a wiring layout that was able to add a second outlet in my bedroom? (Or, far better - the unofficial extra wires that the contractor found which had been loosely spliced into the existing system by the previous owner in order to power the new bathroom lights he added, which just stopped working when we removed the old cable because nobody knew that connection existed).
What works best for me:

1) Local meetups and conferences linked to my niche

For example: I like to give talks at the local Python meetups. The sponsors tend to be companies that use or have some interest in Python.

First advice I give for new freelancers is to specialize. A newbie mistake is to think you may be restricting your options by choosing a door but believe me, behind that door is a hallway with hundreds of doors.

2) Stackoverflow careers

I respond to "help wanted" ads that allow remote - top quality leads. I'm not affiliated with stackoverflow (but I 30k+ rep there).

3) I blog about what my secret sauces

Some times I receive leads from my audience. It is also a good way to keep in touch with people I met at #1 as they are interested in the same subjects.

Yeah, the rising rent is totally unacceptable. There need to be more homes built YESTERDAY to keep up with demand, but that is it's OWN can of worms.

I feel that ALL U.S. cities have been blind-sided by the population boom, and all of us millennials flocking to cities to find high paying jobs.

In some sort of absolute sense, sure, water in the device is not water somewhere else. But with something like 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water on Earth, it's well below the noise threshold. Even "dry desert air", if you work it out, has massive (heh, literally) amounts of water in it.

Plus the impact is even less than you think, because air that has been made dry is more able to pick up water, so you have to work even harder than you'd think to have any impact.
Er, none of those are cuisine, just ingredients. They all feature in post-contact cuisine in both the Americas and elsewhere, and pre-contact cuisine in the Americas.

So no, the current crop of EVs are not undesirable. They may not meet everyone's needs (e.g., in rural Idaho where the nearest town is 40 miles away). But if they do meet your needs, the current set is great.

"all kinds" isn't exactly a scientifically defined term. Friends list an "profile information" is still very broad.

The additional scummy part was that you could authorize FB to download that data for your friends as well as yourself, so your data might be consumed without you ever being aware of, or giving permission for it. As far as I'm aware Android has no such equivalent.
I worked at a large, well-known, consumer tech company on its Facebook integration.

It absolutely did care about the Facebook TOS, had a contract with Facebook about what data could and could not be used and retained, and didn't share Facebook data beyond aggregated demographic information (age, gender, region). We were very careful not to do anything even remotely sketchy with the data.

But this is the sort of company with a brand and something to lose, and a relationship with Facebook.
> are you willing to live in a world in which a company might openly state that part of the reason for their success is age discrimination?

Actually, yes. I'd rather they admit it than achieve pretty much the same effect through loophole means.

> And could they even acknowledge this publicly without it negatively impacting their success?

I'm not sure in which way you mean this. Are you presupposing that they would be successful by discriminating by age, or do you mean that the public shouldn't be free to condemn or boycott them for stating what they did (without taking action against them), or do you just mean without being punished by the government for it? I'm okay with the latter.
It's subjective and depends on the field. Software engineers tend to move around more frequently than say, petroleum engineers, probably owing to the larger number of companies who they can potentially work for. For me, looking at a software engineering resume, ideally I'd want to see at least a few stints lasting two years or more, but I'll forgive occasional short stints, since even great engineers can be bad fits in some companies.

I tend to look at this from a Bayesian perspective. If someone has left a lot of jobs after short stints, then that's a red flag. There's a possibility that they just got very unlucky (e.g. they are an amazing worker, but 5 companies they worked for folded within a few months), but it's also possible that they, for example, don't get along with people or lose interest in things very quickly. The more of a discernible pattern I see, the more likely I am to conclude the latter.

I might decide to hire that person anyway, but it's probably something that's going to weigh against them in the hiring decision.
