I was there, although I wouldn't have said "despise" -- more like "dissatisfied". A decade or so later, my wife divorced me.

There are a lot of pieces to that, but I ultimately realized that I had been suffering from long-term, chronic depression -- the kind where you're not necessarily sad, but the world just seems very... flat. And you are irritable a lot.

I want to recommend some things (understanding that I'm just trying to get you to think about them -- I don't know you, so I could be way off course... but).
1) Look into whether you have depression or not. At the very least, see a therapist. Maybe get a pyschiatric or psychological evaluation as well. Because depression sucks, and if you are battling it, you want to know.

2) Start looking at your life. What do you want out of your life? What would you hope for if you could "blue-sky" it? Because you need to make this life count... regardless of what your partner's expectations are. There are lots of books on this subject (random one: "You Are A Badass" by Jen Sincero).

3) Look at your spiritual life. (I don't necessarily mean religion.) If you are like a lot of us, it has kind of languished. But it's one of the legs of the stool, so you shouldn't neglect it.

4) Quitting is always an option. Telling yourself it isn't is just a way of locking yourself into BS options that may not work for you. Yes, there would be an economic hit. Maybe you'd have to sell your house. Maybe your partner would divorce you. It's OK to consider the drawbacks, but leave the option on the table, because... this is your life, friend. Destroying it for money is a bad, bad plan, and will teach your children the worst of lessons -- that life is a horrible grind for security, despite the fact that we hate our lives. Bad, bad outcomes come out of that lesson.

Take what you like, and leave the rest.
It isn't fair to include an opportunity cost in this calculation because yoy wouldn't have most of those opportunities without college.
>You're filtering for someone who is mainstream and complacent; you're filtering for someone who won't question, let alone challenge, the groupthink.

Weird sentence in this big post, I felt it was out of place.

I never thought this was a thing in both college and industry. Everywhere Ive been encouraged you to challenge everything. The goal is to be correct by any means necessary. (Engineering school, I cant speak for other degrees)
Does this still apply in cases where the suspect has been found not guilty / charges dropped?
I say turned, when more specifically I'm just a jack of all trades at a small software shop that does custom work across all three domains. I do truly love it, and I'm using it to segue into some EE experience as well, but the majority of my work is still in the mobile side, albeit interacting with the firmware dev I do (lots of BLE stuff).
Yes.

I'm split about if that's good or bad though. If they functioned without the cloud then the App would need to determine if it were on the local network or remote before attempting to initiate communication. There would probably also need to be an extra layer of host and client authentication.

The way the Thermostat and Smoke detector appear to work is by polling a remote service periodically for commands. This permits them to go into a sleep and preserve battery.

You could remove the cloud dependence by introducing a local hub that they could talk to instead which would permit the devices to remain unchanged but would introduce the added support complexity of a new device.

Alternatively you could have the devices remain awake listening for incoming client requests in addition to polling the cloud but that would be detrimental to their battery life.

The lease complex and most efficient way route is having the devices connect to the cloud.
This comment is naive, but not totally off-base. Psychedelics can cause real long-term problems for people even if used correctly. I liken it to skydiving, a potentially dangerous activity for which one must be completely prepared, with no absolute guarantee of safety.

That said, I would say that psychedelics definitely expanded my consciousness and changed my life. And that I stopped doing them in the nick of time. They do cause a turn inward, and what I learned is that turning inward can be an endless journey into the void. What I really wanted was to take my expanded consciousness and use it in the consensus world, and for that, I felt, you needed a clear head.
>It took Boston Dynamics about 15 years and $125 million to get to Atlas. There's still no market. This business requires a sugar daddy. BD had DARPA, then Google, and now Softbank. This is a very expensive area in which to work.

That's actually crazy, I had no idea the amount of money involved in this was so small. Investors will drop billions on the latest IRC clone, why aren't they putting more into robotics?

Without trying to offend… what's the quality of those commits?

I have a co-worker who commits 6x more changes than me, everyday, but only because she commits many errors in the morning and have to fix them during the day after multiple code reviews. She often forgets to run the test suite before pushing her changes up. Even after the creation of a Git hook to pre-test the changes after every commit, she still manages to break things when they fall outside the scope of the automated tests.

The number of commits mean nothing if the quality is low.
A lot of Republicans support Net Neutrality, including the stalwart conservative Scalia. The main reason so many current Republicans oppose it, is the association with Obama, and the piles of money Telecom is floating their way.
Pro tip: find someone willing to mentor you. Look for companies with people who are willing to help you with that, some will, some won't.

In the low power realm there's a lot of domain knowledge to learn. What sleep modes allow what, when and how to use them, etc. Don't give up though. It's very rewarding.
Easier engineering life = cheaper maintenance = lower product cost = more $$ for consumer. Similarly, easier engineering life = less time spent on maintenance = more time spent on customer features.

I'm also unclear why you are claiming the only gains are in maintenance. Security is a real end-user benefit & having devices not allow arbitrary incoming network connections is a security choice. Similarly, arbitrating everything through the web results in a simpler, more reliable, enrolment process & makes it easy to add customer features like family control more easily, securely & reliably. These are all customer-facing advantages.

2 hours out of a year is still 3, almost 4, 9s of uptime. That's probably better than your home network/ISP.

I get it. You personally would prefer they traded off for supporting direct connection to your phone. However, that doesn't invalidate that there are legitimate engineering reasons someone might choose other tradeoffs.
I have a masters degree in Computer science and it really helps me every day as a Wordpress Administrator.
Yeah that is not true at all. I've been doing embedded work for about 8 years and regularly get recruiting messages from/interviews with Apple, Amazon, and Google along with a bunch of smaller companies from around the US. I am currently at a startup working on autonomous quad-copters and we basically can't find really talented embedded engineers. Between IoT and autonomous systems the market for embedded developers is great right now.
Good heavens, no! You'd only have two different instances of the same service
that is difficult to work correctly with.

For serving as a debugging channel and user-facing shell access, SSH is fine
(though I've never seen it managed properly in the presence of nodes being
installed and reinstalled all the time). But for everything else (unattended):

* you don't want commands execution, port forwarding, or VPN in your file server

* you don't want remote shell in your daemon that runs parametrized procedures -- but you do want it not to break on quoting the arguments and call results (try passing shell wildcards through SSH)

* you don't want port forwarding and remote shell in config distribution channel; in fact, you want config distribution channel itself to be reconfigured as little as possible, so it should be a totally separate thing that has no other purpose whatsoever

* you don't want to maintain a human-user-like account ($HOME, shell, etc.) for any of the above, since they likely will never see a proper account on the server side; you want each of the services to have a dedicated UID in /etc/passwd, own configuration in /etc/$service, own data directory, and that's it

Each of the tasks above has a daemon that is much better at them than SSH. The
only redeeming quality of SSH is that it's there already, but it becomes
irrelevant when the server's expected life time gets longer than a few days.
But only very few countries in the world are allowed to pay for YouTube Red, and I don’t get why. I thought every creator had to agree to the terms of service, which would allow YouTube to sell ad-free access via YouTube Red all over the world.
I spun up a quick dashboard of this project at Chart.ly [1].

I think it _can_ be an option generator. However, for some colleges and especially some majors, it ISN'T. That is something which many kids don't know, especially first generation college students who don't have parents who went there first and know the unspoken rules regarding this.

About 1/3 of the majors are NOT "option generators", and putting them in the same basket (esp. as regards if it's worth taking on debt to get it) is an error. One that an ethical society would do more to steer very young adults away from, or at least inform them of the difference between those two types of majors.
Ha! I know it sounds stupid guys, but I actually think paintball is a really fun environment to meet people and build friendships. Now to be fair there are some clubs that are bad where people don't talk much and their play style is "buy a lot of our paint and lay down so much fire nobody can move around the field" because it supports their bottom line. Find a group of players that want to have fun and enjoy the game.

Sometimes you don’t have a choice, because you have a mortgage to pay and want to eat.
Your problems were years in the making, and no one is going to solve them in the space allowed in an HN comment. As others have advised, go find a therapist of your choosing and talk it out. I don't know you, you don't know me, anything I have to say is probably just going to be sophistry. If you would describe your spouse as "nagging", I'd suggest couples counseling as well. Sometimes you need that objective, outside 3rd party to help settle your differences.

That said, I think many of us are familiar with what you're feeling: life is just going from one obligation to the next. I'm quite happy and like my job, but I feel the same to some extent as well. And all I have to do is go to work, walk the dogs, keep the not-nagging wife happy (no screaming kids). Still, the weekday is a. go to work b. walk dogs c. time with wife d. go to bed, then start all over. It can be a treadmill even for those of us who have few obligations and are relatively happy. What action items can you take from that? I dunno, but you're not alone nor even relatively rare.

As for some kind of outlet or release, I play a musical instrument for an hour a day. And were I new to an area, I'd go find local music "jams" to play with others. And then I make friends. :-) Music, bicycling, whatever floats your boat, and there's probably a local group that does your activity regularly. Go find those folks, hang out with them.

In closing, go find a therapist. That will be far more helpful than what you find here.

The article states nothing of the cost inefficiency, that is cost of producing the good or service. Instead, the article tries to claim that the price of education makes it a questionable investment, given the monetary returns.

Higher education can and is being delivered at reasonable costs across much of the developed world, with many countries choosing to have taxpayers carry the burden of funding education.

This common-pool resource approach (that is non-excludable, but still rivalrous) to education does not prevent private education that exists as a private good (that is both excludable and rivalrous), but it does ensure a baseline.

As a society, we have decided that certain things should not be left to market forces, because either the outcomes are morally objectionable to the majority of the population (welfare for example), or we see a greater overall economic return on investment by doing it en mass (healthcare, education, etc).

Healthcare is especially interesting - if we leave it completely to market, we will likely have return of pandemics that are currently being kept at by via vaccinations and mass treatment. If we allow an economic driver to avoid this care, the diseases we largely think of as extinct can return.

Education can be thought of in the same view - if we provide everyone with a solid baseline, and support future growth regardless of economic background, it is likely that we will reduce the negative effects lack of education currently has on society. Removing the debts will also help and provide a huge social benefit, as well as spur additional economic activity.

> The wife thinks I should be here at least 1 year, or else it'll look bad on my resume.

If the job sucks, just leave. Resume aside, the mental and physical health effects from a sucky job is not worth it.

If your wife doesn't want to listen to you, find someone that will. Tech friends, psychologist, pastor, etc.

And if you're feeling overpowered, just take one thing small that's annoying in your life and change it. Enjoy the fact that you took control of it for a moment. Then move to something a little larger and fix that. Do that enough times, and then being assertive will be a natural reaction to adverse life stimuli.

Presumably, they are accused of doing something in moving money around to conceal it's illegal origin (the fact that the removal is a separate, not overtly connected site may be part of this if it reflects a deeper subterfuge where there is an attempt to pretend they are separate, unrelated businesses.)

Unfortunately, there are no links i can find to the actual criminal filing, which would presumably have some details as to the factual allegations supporting the identified charges.
It's absolutely status quo. If something other than this happens you should be shocked. There is the concern over lawsuits etc, which is real, but really, the issue (I believe) is that many companies really can't articulate valid reasons why they took the person they took over you. It's rarely about ability, experience or drive, but more squeemish things like cultural fit, personalities, and other 'like us' decisions like ageism, sexism, tribalism, etc.

Frankly, you should be honored that they actually contacted you to tell you they didn't want you. It is very common for companies to just hope you forget.

11 Months ago, I got married to a woman that I love dearly. At the time she had been going through some family issues and was taking it out on me. Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, she became extremely irritable and unable to do common tasks on her own. After I literally put her in the car and took her to the doctor, she was diagnosed with major depression.
At the same time, my department at work was being investigated due to misconduct on the former director.

At this point, I felt like as you describe every day. Here's what kept me going and will always keep me going:

I believe with all my heart that God is ultimately in control, and that there is something much better coming after this life. I never know why I'm facing the trials that I go through; maybe I'm being conditioned for something else in the future, maybe part of my purpose in life is to be able to be here and help my wife get through this.

All-in-all, I look up to God, because I know He cares. I'll keep you in my prayers.
Passo is actually more literally "step" in the sense of walking, "fare un passo avanti" means "making a step forward", and you would say "ha un buon passo" to mean "he is walking at a good pace", but you can use it also (like in English) outside strictly walking, coming from the very same Latin etymology (in the case of English via French):

speaking as a lead auto mechanic for a chain of shops, please for the love of god quit sending everyone to college. You're making it impossible to find anyone whos worked outside a starbucks.

It takes on average nearly a year for us to do any meaningful hiring. We dont drug test, we dont do a background check in most cases, and we certainly dont care about credit scores. If we did, we wouldnt hire anyone at all. we just watch your work for the first 2-3 months to make sure you're not full of snake oil.

we care about your experience, but we're more than willing to teach. Two of my junior shop techs are changing oil and aligning tires, but before this one of them had a masters in Biology and the other had an anthropology degree. As someone who has always had a tool in hand I cant conceive of whats gone wrong in the college sphere but it terrifies me to think of what drove a woman who once worked on genetics to come work for me.

And for those of you out of college and out of work, please take a look at using your hands. You wouldnt believe how many trades pay close to six figures that are incredibly understaffed. Plumbers, ironworkers, mechanics, maintenance techs, you name it. in most cases a lot of these jobs will pay you to learn the trade. You might not get a cozy office chair, but at the end of the day how many people can say they helped helped build a bridge or fix someones flight home on the week of a big holiday?

> even though very technical people know that the quality of low level code can vary dramatically, this often isn't reflected in the success of the business

I would rephrase that as the quality of low level code is not often recognized as having a huge impact on the success of the business but when low level code goes wrong it can have very costly negative effects which ripple up through the company. The usual manifestation is a buggy product with many layers of hacked together bloat. Low level code often does not get the attention it deserves because the higher ups don't understand it.

Also, I have several veterinarian friends, and about half of them are absolutely struggling financially. Do you have personal contact with some, just out of curiosity?

I came across a use case for sqlite recently for storing some data I was scraping, and went through hell with the sqlite3 package due to the seemingly unnecessary async calls for everything. I've heard better-sqlite3[1] solves a lot of the problems since it is synchronous, and ends up having better performance as a result.

That said, the sqlite3 package soured me on it so much I ended up rewriting my script in clojure instead which came with the benefits of being able to use other jdbc libraries like honeysql.

> A company's interests are superficially different from a government's - they don't care about which party is in power, sure. But they have much the same interests at a deeper level of: keeping existing power structures in place, not letting weirdos mess everything up.

You're reaching too far for an equivalence. Yes they have "deeper," more esoteric interests, but having them limited to those rather than supporting a party-regime is a far better situation.

Private company credit scores are better than government social credit scores, even though they're not totally neutral in idealistic way. The difference is big enough for them to be entirely different animals.

Embedded is a BIG area - and even bigger now with IoT - so there are a lot of things you could learn - but what specifically are you interested in? You could for example take a look at some of the newer OSs like ARM Mbed OS, or Google Fuchsia.
