EDIT: I think your comment below is too deeply nested and it doesn't let me reply. However: I think a mailing list is useful even for personal project. In the event that the project gets traction, it would allow you/motivate you to keep working on it and improve it (I'm a professional side project creator).

As for nested animations, it might make sense to chain them..? Not sure.
Citation? Is this proven to be true or speculation?
When it is all illegal, law enforcement tends to go for obvious prostitution and when they are lucky, they can help someone that is being trafficked. When prostitution is a well-regulated legal thing, law enforcement can narrow its focus to folks being trafficked simply because they don't have to investigate voluntary prostitution.

They sold medical diagnostics that did nothing. They did this knowing that they did nothing.

In a way, it's worse than the ads on the internet promising to cure cancer with nettles and probiotics and yoga. Online ad scammers can plead ignorance that what they sell isn't actually useful, and I'm sure there're legal disclaimers in fine print saying the products are sold purely for entertainment.

It was an answer to a question that wasn't asked. The senator was asking whether facebook owns that data it has about a person, and the answer was that you own what you post. Those are very different sets. A follow up to answer whether facebook believes it owns the data it's accumulated about you would've been great.
> these people will start charging $1k/hour to consult on "political or PR" sensitive business areas

I frequently see people try this when their employers start burning in political and criminal crosshairs. It’s a tough and treacherous strategy. It is likely just an easier thing to tell oneself than “I need this job for the pay cheque, the next 10 years be damned.”

Unless you leverage the crisis into deep relationships with regulators and politicos who remain relevant afterwards, you walk away weaker. Low-touch Facebook PR folks saw their best days when they worked in the last administration.

It'll make you a millionaire easy. But really, this is just a basic strategy, sort of like the "Dealer's Strategy" in blackjack. As you become a more sophisticated investor, you can invest in things that pay off better.

To become a more sophisticated investor, you'll need to start reading books (uh-oh!) on investing, accounting, and business.

You're using Netflix as a straw man for your argument. Facebook isn't a content company, Netflix is not yet vertically integrated, and it makes less than 1/7th of Facebook's profits.

I've also never stated that ISPs shouldn't be regulated.

In fact, I'd prefer they both be regulated in order to promote open access to the market and more disruption.

So I ask again, why would we not want to regulate structural oligopolies?
Thinking about it in the current context, I might say that there is something like a prodictivity counter-culture? For example Deep Work seems to value high-poductivity focus on one hand, but being lazy and completely switching off workis lauded as well.

Last thing it reminds me of, is the Mythical Man Month, with its warnings about how adding more people to a project makes it makes it even more behind the schedule.

But even here, I still live with the undrlying assumption that you as a person want to keep producing interesting/important/useful/profitable things. Just that slowing down can get you further.

I have experienced this with myself when working on my masters thesis. I remember that for three months I was just thinking about it. Not really working on anything. And after the idea slowly over the months crystalized as the "right thing to do" I solved a problem in a way that replaced 3Kloc C++ code with 50 lines of Python over a weekend. Then I spent rest of the time running experiments and writing the text :-)

And sometimes I miss this, especially in current agile environment, where sprint retrospective is always around the corner, I don´t feel like I have time to just think about stuff anymore.
Better yet, comply and get your privacy/data management chops together so that you're comfortably able to navigate a world where this type of legislation is likely to become more and more common. Not to mention the fact that there's an increase in interest/awareness about these matters amongst the general public.

Sure if you cherry pick like literally the most expensive 25sq mile neighborhood, and are dead set on buying real estate and not renting.

But even then, the calculation on bestplaces.net appears to be a bit farcical:

Assuming you spend $8k/month on renting a large modern 2500+ sqft house, and are in the tax bracket which knocks your after-tax income to $300k from $500k, you still have ~$200k after tax and housing. The rest of your expenses are not going to be so much more expensive (~4x) that they don't vastly exceed $100k - tax (~25k) - housing (24k for similar) in NC.

$250k in NC vs $500k in bay area though sure, that's in the right realm.

Well, I disagree, and I don't think it is about demands, but basic needs. In particular, I find the notion that the core problem is "resentment of success" to be very naive, especially when projected at such a large segment of society.

It's perfectly predictable what courses of action a desperate person will start to contemplate. It's equally predictable what is bound to happen when desperation becomes systemic.

I find the philosophical discussion about what is owed, deserved, right, wrong, moral and immoral disinteresting in this context. "What works", is more interesting.

History suggests that violence and suppression ("pushing back"), works temporarily, with the predictable result that the targets now have even less to lose, and become even more desperate. Which of course, if you're naive, suggests that even more suppression is needed. And so on. At some point, it explodes in the end, one way or another.

Personally, I suspect that guillotine insurance is cheaper for everyone.

When given resources, people who have nothing go and spend those on necessities–basic consumption, precisely the stuff that stimulates the economy. They're not going to send the resources to an off-shore account. This benefits society at large. Markets live and die by their ability to sustain healthy, large scale exchange of goods and services. I.e., don't you worry that you might be doing someone a service, that money will make it back to your pocket, and—most likely—then some.

So maybe there's a way to make more money for everyone, alleviate suffering, and decrease the need for suppressive force all at once.

The downside being, maybe, that we have to give up some ideology to pursue what's effective.

Which is not to say that basic income is guaranteed to work. We don't know yet, because it hasn't been tried at scale.
Unfortunately I don't have the references to back this up but it's my understanding that the latest understanding of sleep, and sleep in humans, is that we're naturally biphasic, one long period at night and one short period in the afternoon, and this is what you find with communities today that live as hunter-gatherers. Slightly less "natural" is the monophasic pattern most people follow, which is sleeping at night.

I'm not sure what words to describe that waking in the middle of night pattern as other than fad or historical myth—there's no evidence that it's healthier or beneficial given our understanding of the various systems that drive sleep and waking, and evidence for its occurrence is very limited. Indeed it's odd to think that given everything we know about human physiology, that we're all tuned to wake up in the middle of the night, y'know, to do important stuff just without our eyes.
I'm pretty sure more than a decade ago my dad had a keyless entry fob for a car, who's make I do not recall, that had a sticker to discourage battery replacement.

This anecdote is only relevant in the sense that the sticker might not be on the hood of the car; remote control for AV system or keyless entry or tire pressure monitoring gadgets inside the wheels are definite possibilities.
Where are you getting your numbers from? $3k * 12 months * 7 would be $252k/yr. Glassdoor reports average software engineer salaries in SF at $125k/yr.

Still, you're right that $3k is on the low side for SF, if you're treating it as your sole income to live off.

Even as a not-particularly-experienced-as-a-lead, I try to ensure I don't ask someone in my team to do something I wouldn't be willing to do myself.

If the task is something they enjoy and I don't, double win. If it's something no-one enjoys then I'd try to take the first batch, or at least share the pain around, if we can't automate it away.

If I'm not willing to do it myself then it gets pushed back to whoever pushed it onto me in the first place.
I started skipping breakfast a while back after having a big dinner the night before and realizing I wasn't hungry. I felt better than if I ate just because it was "time to eat." Over time, I moved the threshold, and I don't eat breakfast, except for a shot of espresso. It feels much better.

Earlier, I had worked to cut out carbs at lunch (because they were making me sleepy in the middle of the afternoon). With breakfast being so simple, I have to make sure I have a healthy lunch (went out to eat and failed today), and then I don't stress too much about dinner. YMMV, but this system has worked really well for me.

As for the science, there's a lot of research, but no one really knows how all of our elaborate cellular machinery works. However, there seems to be some notion of the body being in "digestion" or "maintenance/repair" mode. Letting your body get into the latter mode seems to have some really good effects.
Behold the Day
YAHUSHUA SAYS: So then, behold the Day!...Where all those who come to Me in truth, being fully converted in their hearts, Who also obey My voice and keep My Commandments, shall be taken...Behold, they shall surely be gone from this place! And to the rest... Though they have called on My name with all supplications, even unto vain babblings, they shall be left. For they are not truly converted in their hearts, neither will they harken to My voice nor give heed to My Commandments; for they do dishonor Me and pervert My name by all their ways... Yes, even these, who do call of themselves by My own name, shall be left in the midst of the earth on that day. For it is a day of refinement, a day of tears, a day of heavy sorrows and bitter weeping.

You have to be a bit careful with that, since some banks like to use those answers as "second factors"* when you call them. So I've gotten in the habit of using diceware-style passphrases for those, as those work over the phone better than pure white noise passwords.

The best response to people calling individual contributors "resources" is to politely correct them. If the abusive terminology continues, then the "resources" have the right to "return the favor" by setting the standard in the culture of referring to managers as "overhead" (e.g. "I should ask my 'overhead' if I really need to attend that stupid meeting. I might be able to dodge it so we can get this new feature checked in.")

How fast do you want a term sheet signed? You can of course say "we're not interested in becoming a DE C" and you'll lose 50% of your candidates and you can of course say "we've already set up the DE C" and you'll lose none of them. But if you say "we'll set up a DE C when we need to" you signal that you aren't confident that you'll get the round signed or that DE C is something you'll do begrudgingly, thus advantaging firms that can invest in Canada, so it leaves everyone scratching their heads.

Personally, my current company is staying 100% Canadian. The headaches dealing with the American tax system aren't worth it. If the revenue is there the capital isn't far behind, and I rather spend time optimizing the revenue of the company than getting slowed down with lawyers and tax attorneys plus I trust Canada's judicial system more than I do America's. Not by a lot, but still.

All this doesn't really matter if you're pre-product market fit or pre-monetization though. In that case it's almost always better to just set up the DE C because you have less leverage / allure.

If you're using a famous quote, after a few words you're adding next to zero entropy per word.

You're using an analysis for random words, which is completely different.

Also in general a random word is worth around as much as two random characters. There's no clear-cut winner, use whatever you like more.
So if you want to legally pay someone for sex, you and the person you're paying have to agree to be on tape, you need to check their ID and make a photo of it[1], you probably need to get them to fill out all the standard compliance forms and you probably only want to do this in California, Florida or one of those other locations that big porn studios flock to because the laws are favorable to their industry and less ambiguous.

It's the same as with other investments. You're putting some money in, with the hope that the thing you buy will appreciate in the future.

When you buy stocks what exactly do you buy? Some stake in a company? Nonsense. You're just hoping that company will do well and your stock will appreciate.

Sure you can invest in commodities like oil or gold. Does that mean that an oil tank will be delivered to you door? No. You're just creating a virtual position with that commodity, hoping to close it later at a better price.

Same with crypto currencies.
SQRL is actually a reasonably well-designed authentication system; certainly better than passwords at least. But as you said, few if any sites ever bothered to implement it. There's just no incentive for sites to adopt a new authentication method when passwords already "work fine" from their perspective.

Hopefully the web authentication standard won't suffer the same fate. It _is_ backed by several major companies (Google, Microsoft, Mozilla) so at least they'll be able to kickstart adoption by implementing the API on their own sites.

Prostitution destroys the sexual autonomy of women by introducing economic incentives to performing sexual acts, this the opposite of sexual freedom.
Lobbyists just make politicians’ work easier, even if the politicians would’ve received no money or compensation at all the politicians still like the service they provide.

Politicians want, above all else, to stay in power. That’s their actual full time job. To do that you need key supporters, not just financiers for your campaign but blocks of voters, and the latter is the most precious of all and the one lobbyists can help politicians with. If the coal miners keep you elected you want to know what political moves will please them. Same thing with minorities, elderly and other demographic blocks; they want mutually exclusive things and lobbyists who represent these groups can tell you what would please the group they represent.

So, if you make it illegal for these groups to meet politicians through lobbyists politicians will do their best to reach the voters instead. That’s basically the service Cambridge Analytica supplied, in a sense.
I am not in a position to give any advice to OP, as I am not experienced enough, don't have that kind of financial options but not in a position where I can't stand my job.

That being said, I look forward to be independent some day and try to spend my free time building something on the side. The problem is that it is not not as easy as some people make it seem. Depending on how the day at work was, I might be completely exhausted mentally and not in a position to do anything in the evening.

This part-time approach might not work for the OP as the job already seems to be stressful. Given that he has a cushion, is probably quite competent AND hates the current job - in his position - I would quit and do something that drives me.

Make a time bound plan with milestones that keep you on track and evaluate after a year or two. If it does not work out, you can always come back to the industry with your current experience and whatever new you learn starting up.

Would you get the same package or better? Maybe. Maybe not. But you can look ahead knowing that you tried. Then you get back to the job till it gets tiring again, or you get the bug of going out and doing something else again. :)
I wonder how much of the "1%"'s wealth is in stock. My guess is most of it, at least in the United States. If you think that's a problem, and most of this wealth is in the stock market, then that may be a good argument for increasing the tax on capital gains. I don't expect that to happen anytime soon, though.
I suppose there will always be work for sociopaths
Does it? Generally speaking, you make money with money, right? So even if playing "fairly", it would seem the 1% will still get far more rich far faster than anyone else. Lobbying only slows that down some, if at all.

Don't get me wrong, I think Lobbying in its current form is disgusting. Yet, directly I don't blame it for the wealth gap.

I suppose you could argue that lawmakers might have a chance at proposing solutions if not for lobbying, so by taking lobbying away you eventually, somehow, fix the problem. Even with that said, I'm still more curious to talk about possible solutions to the problem directly, rather than hoping to foster an environment where someone else will fix the problem.
Yes. I find the idea that we can solve this problem by giving more power/money to the .1% and they'll take that power/money and (step two of underpants gnome plan here) and then the .1% won't have so much power/money is kinda silly.

In fact isn't it rather convenient that the solution that everyone proposes to money/power inequality is to give the .1% more money and power?

Weird how that inequality just keeps going up, huh?
Another approach would be to start with one developer living in europe/US already but wants to live in India. Example: I have an Indian friend who was working in Seattle but ultimately wanted to go back to India. He found a job where he started at the headquarters on the east coast for a few months then moved to India to build a team there.

The key thing is patience on these projects and paying people well. FWIW I'm impatient and when I had a similar discussion with management as in the blogpost I openly said it was a bad idea and found myself laid off months later. The company eventually had changes in upper management and closed it's India design center.
It's really sad that you're being downvoted. I can't believe so many people here have twisted themselves in to knots claiming prostitution is "empowering" for women. Absolutely incredible.
