I agree, but that is not what was asked.

adamnemecek was asking specifically about the life of Li Weibin, who didn't buy a partner.

Instead his is the live of a hard laborer, living in cramped dormitories, and forever alone, with little/no chance of breaking free from that life.

Unfortunately it's all too common among migrant workers.
In my experience a degree is worthless as soon as you are hired. From then on you will only be judged based on performance. I don't even know what degrees (if any) most of my coworkers have.

Of course there can always be problems with skills or performance due to not having a relevant degree.

Nice. I think your point comes across much more clearly now. The eth presale graph is much smoother than all the others.

Could the smoothness be partially explained by the fact that one could only use btc in the eth presale, whereas later token sales accepted eth and btc?

As a contractor you have essentially already taken a deal where you get paid a premium but have no expectation of career growth.

If you have no expectations of career growth at work then big companies are fantastic.

When was the last time you bought a ThinkPad? This is my third one and suspend works. The Trackpad is great, with three buttons. 24 Gb of RAM, 11+ hour battery life in Linux, and a 4-year at-home next-day repair plan. It was $1,900 including tax, shipping, and support. Macs are much more expensive for worse specs.

This computer "just worked" out of the box, and there is full freedom to tinker with the system. I think the industry should get away from the idea that everything needs to work out of the box anyway.

What I also seen is people become victim of your their own success. If you over-achieve in one appraisal cycle it is very bad for you because you have increased your base-level of performance. It is like over-achieving sales target.

I have learned the hard way that one needs to spread out the achievements. For example if you have good number of ideas then don't spew out all of them in one go. Introduce them say in each quarter and people will say "Joe always seems to have an idea round the corner". Recency effect matters.

Not preposterous at all. The line is clear: viability outside the womb.

As a woman, I deem legal and safe abortion an exercise of my second amendment rights. If I determine that a separate individual has taken residence inside me contrary to my wishes I have the right to defend my person against that intrusion. Of course I first ask for the person to leave and find suitable accommodation elsewhere. Oh you can't leave on your own? I still don't want you here -- leave, leave now. No? Well I will stand my ground.

I really don't see why (mostly) men have no philosophical qualm with defending their home against a fully alive intruder, yet can not understand why a woman might wish to exercise a similar right over her own body.

"inhumane quasi-slavery visa situation that we do to our friends who happen to be born somewhere else" - thank you so much for this rant.

I've spent the last 3 years in Taiwan sitting tight and waiting until I have enough work experience to qualify for the Skilled Migrant Category visa for New Zealand (Canada and Australia are also options, with similar requirements). Now I have those 3 years, I'm trying to get a job at one of the 75 tech companies on the Accredited Employers list who can actually give me a visa. Then, if all goes well, I can get be a Permanent Resident after 2 years. And only then can I think about getting married, learning to drive, settling down. It's been a long road to get to where I am now, aged 28, and I really hope some company will notice my plight and be willing to take me through the last step of finding a country to call home.
Serious question, not wanting to be crass, but does it “work”? That would be a huge breakthrough over reconstruction options that often require an implanted device to mimic an erection. It also, I imagine, requires a great deal of accuracy regarding the surgically connected plumbing in order not cause rupture and internal bleeding as a result of blood pressure.
Do you understand what an easement is? Do you understand the binding quality of an easement on a purchase of freehold or leasehold land?

This is like Khosla digging up the sewage line feeding his neighbours house, because he doesn't like the idea of somebody else's poop flowing under the surface of his land.

He signed the contract which explicitly bound him to the easement, demanding public access through his land, to the beach. How much simpler can it get?

If this part of the contract can be nullified because he doesn't want to smell poor people, then I think the USA is heading to a bigger problem than beach access. Thousands of properties across the states have easements. Nullifying them without consideration of the public interest would be horrific.

Best of both worlds is to design top-down and build bottom-up. By design I don't mean something abstract, it should be translated into code sooner rather than later.
This is the stupidest article. The premise is predicated on a wild, baseless extrapolation that because Nest isn't cashflow positive, then surely the - totally unrelated and until this quarter separately managed - other hardware orgs must also be. It also completely ignores the internal org structure differentiating between hardware, software & distribution/partnerships/support, which vary wildly based on whether it's consumer hardware (like Nest), media (Google Play Music/Movies/YT), computing devices (ChromeOS) or mobile (Android/Pixel/accessories), or non-Nest Home HW (Google Home/Mini/Max).

I’m a little bit on the spectrum, but what’s helped a lot for me was to go on drinking sessions with people from widely different backgrounds (teacher, lawyer, businessman, trainers, other types of engineer, social workers).

I was lucky in that these were instigated by my more outgoing brother, but I picked up a lot of the patterns which smooth these interactions, to the extent I can have decent conversations. Helps to be able to code switch as well. You’re not necessarily going to have a deeply intellectual discussion every time, and that’s fine.
Maybe proteins exist with binding pockets that recognize both the secondary and primary structure of imotifs.

"In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia. James Madison wrote disapprovingly, 'I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.'"

Unless you're taxing them federally for provisions outlined in the constitution, I'm inclined to disagree that they wouldn't have a problem with it.

This was not about my career as contractor. It's what I saw how employees were treated. As I said some small companies are great and offer great opportunities but there are plenty that work their people to death, miss payroll, pay low salaries in exchange for a big dream that in most cases will never come true for the regular employee.
I completely understand your frustration, but let me offer somewhat of a different view.

Try reading Euclid's Elements. It was written before equations had been invented and is for the most part "plain language". However, it reads as vastly more obtuse than an equivalent modern formulation of the same facts with symbols and algebra.

The nice thing about mathematical notation is that a simple, one line equation can express relationships and detail that what would otherwise take a full paragraph to unpack. Personally, once I'm familiar with the symbols and underlying concepts, an equation is much easier to hold in my head than a long jumble of plain language explication.

I think most researchers aren't simply pomping up their paper with obtuse symbols. Mathematical notation is both compact as well as a common language, so why not use it? As a side benefit, we also get to lean on the vast background of mathematical research which offers potential precision that would otherwise be completely lost.

That’s a terrible justification, girls are only a luxury because society make them to be. Through western societies and modern China, it’s already proven that other than physical strength, women are capable of receiving and making good use of education, can generate decent amount of income to support themselves even without a husband, can rise to leadership in many different fields. But in India and rural China, the opportunities for girls to develope are ripped away from them because of traditional beliefs. Hence growing into “luxury” women who have no skills or desirability other than being vaginas to men.
The high price is because there isn't enough of it now. If you make more of it (or something even sort of close to it), the price will fall.

My favorite use of Hypnagogia is to find things that I have lost around the house. It's able to pull memories out of your brain that you can't usually access (analogous to backup tapes in your garage I guess).

When I was younger I was able to make music by counting beats in my head with a hi-hat just before I hit a hypnagogia state. I knew I was there when the hi hat would keep counting even after I stopped consciously doing counting, then an entire analog and digital orchestra in my brain would start playing wonderful tunes. Of course I could never remember them after, but it doesn't matter.

"If you have a C++ compiler that works, you should be fine. I've never had an issue installing a package that isn't, in fact, a C++ issue."

I've also had a compilation problem on Windows caused by Python not being installed (IIRC, the SASS package needed gyp, which uses Python). That was exceptional: I expect npm packages to install without issue, although I'm still bothered by how many dependent packages every tool seems to need.
I have this too. Suddenly I realise that each line of code I am writing is a doorway to a different parallel universe.

Or maybe that the numbers on the clock indicate the distance I have to run in the track meet.

My girlfriend has told me that sometimes when we drift off to sleep talking, I'll start making less and less sense. She occasionally interviews me and can keep me going in this free-association state for a couple of minutes. I'll have to get to her take notes. :)
Not having a degree can also create issues with certain visas.

> Has anyone seen career growth stall directly because they lack a degree

Like @paxys (sibling comment), I've not seen it be a problem once you're in, but it does affect the ease with which you get job offers, and those can be a big part of career growth.

Sometimes you land a great job, in a great company, with a great manager and you work your way up, with the right opportunities at the right times with the right rewards.

But most people find that they run into a blocker somewhere along the way. Maybe the company isn't growing fast enough to create relevant oppportunities. Maybe you get a manager who sees you as irreplaceable and doesn't want you to move up. Maybe something stuffs up and the blame falls on you and your promotions get stalled for a while.

And in all those cases (and more) it helps to have a ticket out of there. Even with 5 to 10 years of experience, some % of hiring managers / recruiters will look at where you got your degree (and in what discipline) and take that into account when deciding whether to interview you. And fewer interviews leads to fewer offers, leads to fewer choices, leads to less control over your career path.

The lack of a degree is not a total blocker - once you get into that first role and prove yourself you've got good chances - but it will have some impact and could make it harder to meet your goals.

If I understand rightly, the economics of DSL are not great, because they have to pay AT&T a lot for the access. I agree that 3 Mb/s is not great; I was at 12, which seemed fine to me.

I still thought that was a much better deal that Comcast. I occasionally had to deal with other people's Comcast lines, and the poor quality and terrible support meant that I was happy to pay a lot more for a reliable connection with smart, effective people at the other end of the phone when I needed them.
