This is not a "hypothetical game". There are plenty of animals that we can use for testing, and we can create any necessary conditions in them to test our experimental treatments. Yes, this is cruel and sad, but if the alternative is to let humans die, I'll choose animals any day.

This is not the same as human organ harvesting, because that would result in death of humans, and we are trying to prevent that.

The concern that animal test results don't necessarily apply to humans is real, but it's much better than no tests at all.

Learn about the company before you go into the interview. Look at your average programmer at other places. How do you differ? Learn from the interviews you've done.

Also keep in mind that the more interviews you do the better the odds of getting a job. Aim for a few a week until you get a job. Also don't be quick to refuse a lower paying job. You can use it to get a better one. Recruters are a great source for leads but they are not the only source. Look for other lead sources.

Don't give up.

> When overwhelming majority of people speak Russian and Russia is the most important trade partner, I think that it's only logical to have Russian as one of the official languages in the country

It makes perfect sense if you want to move away from Russia to dramatically broaden your national potential over time. Russia has a very modest economy versus its population size. Canada and South Korea have overtaken it, and next up Spain, Australia, Mexico and Indonesia will do the same.

There's no hint Russia's economic backwardness is going to change soon. Putin has entirely failed to develop the nation's potential outside of energy. Their GDP per capita has fallen below much of Eastern Europe, including Croatia, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, Slovenia (as well as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Russia is ranked around #60 in the world on GDP per capita.

It would be wise of Kazakhstan to limit their dependency on trade with Russia and look to far larger opportunities globally.

The only future Russia can offer Kazakhstan is one of weak dependency, a future in which Russia dreams perpetually of re-acquiring its former empire territories.
There is no way to predict that. It's all guessing.

Experimentation does not necessarily mean killing. (Though lab animals are usually euthanized once they are no longer "useful".)

But we're not talking about experimenting on 15 million volunteer humans. We're talking about experimenting on 15 million animals incapable of consent. That figure should be equally morally repugnant to you.

From a purely linguistic standpoint, I think Kazakh is a better fit for Cyrillic than the Latin alphabet. Look at all the diacritics they have to use to make this work. But we both know the real motivations here probably do not include cleaning up the orthography.
This benefit, again, seems small (you may just be completely impossible to understand), and ignores the fact that Kazakhstan probably has more visitors from Russian-speaking places.

This is true not just for Facebook. Consumer spending per person in US is very high compared to many other countries in the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_consumer_marke...

The businesses that wants to run ads also spend a lot. Its also true for Enterprise Software to some extent. I work for an enterprise software company and despite having had a decade of presence and having been founded in Europe, 70% of our revenue is from USA.

While I don't have numbers to back it up, personally from my experience, I see Americans spending a lot (sometimes more credit than savings itself) compared to other developed nations.

That's about what I expected, since there's no UB in my example.

The ability to store arbitrary data on these widely replicated blockchains raises some serious legal questions. What if someone puts illegal information on the blockchain (e.g. nuclear secrets, child porn)?

Even if some level of mens rea is required convictions, that is usually set at "reckless" (meaning that you were aware of the risk but acted anyway). Once there's a high-profile child-porn-on-the-blockchain case, it would be very hard to argue that you weren't at least aware of the risk that such information might be there. Even if the mens rea requirement is "knowing", that will still be a problem, as bitcoin miners and other savvy cryptocurrency actors would have a hard time claiming ignorance of the immutable nature of the blockchain.

Protecting themselves from Russian insurgency, among other reasons. Kazakhstan had protected themselves before, shutting down Russian-inspired "People Republic".
My "hate" has nothing to do with what you described but more on how the project is run.

It's no longer what it claims to be, and increasingly moving away from decentralization while at the same time the high priests creating propaganda that it's OK to be a "little bit centralized" for the "greater vision". Looks like most uneducated people genuinely believe this because they have no idea how Ethereum works underneath, and even many entrepreneurs who DO understand how Ethereum works are so invested in the ecosystem as to be blinded by their own interest, so "choose" to believe in it, but if they all stepped back for a minute and look at what has happened they will all realize this is not the platform they were excited about in the first place.

I generally hope the idea itself will work out, but doubt the current team and the entourage (also known as "ecosystem") around them will get there.
The current speed of iteration means you get updates in smaller batches rather than more throughput. Still important, but it's not like we're letting proposals bake less. Note how so far we've only gotten two big new features post-ES6 - async functions and async generators. Further, some features (e.g. decorators, bind operator) have had babel plugins for years and yet hasn't shipped in a spec.
The same can be said for function calls, with the indirection they create hiding details of broken and side-effecting implementations.

None the less, the opposite is also true. Languages that have macro facilities can aid in writing more legible code. (See `threading` in clojure), or the `loop` macro and regular expression macros in common lisp.
Social and legal obligations often originate from ethical frameworks. For example, human rights were initially a purely ethical concept which most white people at that time thought to be ridiculous. And now it is a social and legal obligation in all Western countries to treat every human equally, regardless of skin color or religion.

So by abandoning ethics you are actually cutting off a source for improvements of our social and legal norms.

I'd also would like to point out that it doesn't follow from being constructed that something is 'merely fiction'. Everything in humanities is constructed (and some would even argue that everything in science is constructed). The question is: does it impact our lives? And ethical reasoning obviously does it.

Um, you don't have to kill someone to remove an organ. Many people donate them voluntarily while alive. But if there's no match or no-one willing to donate, we don't extract them from, say, prisoners against their will. (Though some countries do.)

You're right, it definitely depends on the field. The paper I am referencing looked at psychology, I believe. It is likely that a social science would have greater issues with reproducibility than a physical science.

> 'A for loop is just a wrapped goto!'

corresponds fairly closely with

> a "nursery", which is just a wrapped sync.WaitGroup/pthread_join/futures::future::join_all/a reactor that waits for all tasks to terminate/etc.

The fact that the 'nursery' can and has been implemented with more 'primitive' constructs is actually a point of similarity with goto/structured programming not a point of difference. The GP didn't seem to spot this, despite making it their first complaint, so it was good that the post you're responding to did.

The post you're responding to is not calling the GP a dummy because of a disagreement, it's pointing out the apparent criticism the GP levelled was exactly the same criticism levelled against structured programming, and ultimately goto lost.

There's a business called ZoomCare where I live that posts their prices for uninsured patients. I am quite annoyed that I, someone who has private insurance with ZoomCare as an in-network provider, was charged almost twice as much as the posted price. That money comes out of my pocket because I have one of these high deductible plans. So even places that are decent enough to post prices pull some b.s. when insurance is involved.
He did go through a physiological test and the report says he is sane and do not qualify the definition of psychological ill, but then the report says in the next meaning he is a psychopath with narcissistic behavior, pathological lies and with a severe sexual deviation.

Trying to understand why a sane person would commit such crime is impossible, so I personally consider that what we have heard and seen is not the behavior of a sane person. Trying to frame it like a video game is trying to impose rules of sanity to explain insanity.

And your hypothetical makes no sense. Discovering "a cure for cancer" takes much longer than the life expectancy of someone who is "dying from cancer".

The breakthrough can happen at any point in the future, tomorrow, or in 2 years, or 20 years. We don't know. What we know is that by allowing animal testing we most likely speed up that discovery process.
As a former vol trader, I think this is possible. I have friends who were former pit locals and are now sitting at home trading options.

It is all moving to algos, though.

With vol it's one of those specialized areas where it's probably quite hard to learn without having sat on an options desk. Even the way it's presented in the books does not give a good picture of what you're supposed to do.
intriguing, as others have pointed out, a variation of that is extended families living together or nearby.

many cultures have this built into their housing, e.g., chinese siheyuan or roman domus. these courtyard houses can accommodate such arrangements without literally living with each other. you can even stack them and share the courtyard among multiple families (one on each side of the courtyard), for denser neighborhoods.
while I think it seems pretty reasonable to assume that their tourists are currently from countries with Cyrillic-based languages, they're making a concerted effort to draw more Western audiences. How that'll play out, not sure, but I don't think the premise is silly.
[In depth answer]

I dug up the RCS5.1 spec [0]. RCS location is not a benign feature where a user is sharing its location every once in a while by pressing a button. RCS location appears to be continuously broadcasted on unsecured channels, open to third party middle men, for example Google, Verizon or three letter agencies. Note the last bullet point, "Geolocation". Perhaps I'm reading this wrong, and this is not yet another veiled attempt at commercial surveillance. Please educate me.

From Section 3.7, Social Presence Information:

===

In the EAB, the contact information is extended with social presence information and foresees the following attributes:

* Availability, indicates the user’s (un)willingness to communicate,

[snip]

* Geolocation, depicts the user location

[snip]

Once User A has accepted User B as an RCS authorized contact, User B will be able to see the geolocation information of User A (displayed with a text or a map, or both of them) and all updates of that information.

Because of my financial situation I had to move back in with my mom a couple of years ago.

For the record, the utility arguments and size and such put aside (rabbit hole not relevant per say), in general, I don't think a private company should be compelled into any speech (including this lawsuit, which, as of now I probably disagree with.)

Someone once told me a story that when Netscape wanted to put a programming language in the browser, they went to ParcPlace (i think) and asked them if they could have Smalltalk for that purpose. ParcPlace said sure, go ahead, and it'll be $1000 a seat.

If there was interest in using Smalltalk, it makes a lot of sense that JavaScript is an attempt at a Self in Java's clothing.

Ethereum is, so far, missing a key element for me to take it really seriously: Formal Methods.

There are some small efforts, but I'd rather have formal methods from the beginning, not as an afterthought.

The problem is that market forces favor releasing early rather than releasing correct things. It's the MIT vs NJ paradox again, or worse is better. But this time the potential risks are much bigger.
I think that for languages that didn't get adapted into english, the 'similar word' effect is essentially missing - it really only works for romance languages and maybe the odd germanic word. However, if I had a dictionary or something, that article would be much easier to translate than, say, Japanese (or Mandarin, or really any language where writing involves a large number of symbols).

I'm not sure that that applies very well to cyrillic vs latin though. IIRC cyrillic is still under ~50 unique characters, so a dictionary would essentially need an index to tell you what the alphabetic ordering is, and then I think you'd be set (as well as you can be with just a dictionary, at least).
I've been long FB for a very long time now, and took the recent dip to grab some more. People can complain about Facebook in terms of privacy all they want, but as a company they are killing it.
I think maybe you could improve on this sort of approach by weakening the invariants. Instead of trying to make sure that only valid "collations" get on the main chain, let anyone willing to pay for it put collations on the main chain but define the first honest one on the chain to be valid. You can't tell which ones are valid at a glance but you can with O(shard history) resources.

I think that was the product of the 90s and you can see it still in full swing in Ukraine (African level of GDP). Since those crazy times of societal collapse their GDP PPP per capita actually rose up to the level of Turkey IIRC; without sanctions they would probably be even a bit higher and become even more threatening, which might not be in US+EU's best interests.
I would be very surprised if there was any kind of pattern. Once you cut off patterned sensory input, there is no reason to believe any pattern would persist beyond that. Even meager attempts at sensory deprivation often result in quite quite dissolution of consciousness, with it only be restored upon resumption of sensory input. That combined with the fact that significant changes to our bodies and perceptive apparatus lead to significant changes in our subjective experience makes it fairly clear, to me at least, that you can't have a mind without a body perceiving and creating a feedback loop between the world and your 'self.'
