No you wouldn't be glad because most of that remaining $250K would go towards paying other people's rents... E.g. When you go to a restaurant, everything on the menu would cost more to cover their rent. The cost of rent factors into pretty much anything that money can buy.
I care about the individuals I work with. They're good people. I definitely try to help my coworkers out with their personal goals, if and when I can.

But the organization itself? Nah. Corporations aren't people, no matter what the courts say.
If you’re on iOS you can configure specific ring tones & notification sounds for individual contacts. Look under settings.
I get what you're saying, but ultimately I think the onus is on the individual to filter all their own information. I'd go so far as to say information filtering is one of the most important skills for modern humans in a digital culture.

The reason I say this is because clinical studies have a limit. Both in the sense that as an individual you may be an outlier, but also in the amount of attention you can get from trained clinicians. By all means, if you are suffering, seek professional help, but sometimes you still have to figure out a way to help yourself even if there's not a double-blind study to back it up.

Lol. The comments section in the article is pretty heated.
Well, even when they're switched on and the police have somehow managed to not delete the incriminating footage before it gets turned over there's still very little difference. The sad fact is that police are above the law.

Expanding on the sibling, Java is a pass by value language which is commonly mistakenly thought to be pass by reference. (That's probably the mistake you think I'm making.) It is not, however, possible to pass objects by value in Java.
Are there any other sources for this? I can only find it on the Telegraph and the Express and they both have an anti-EU bias.

I'd say it's probably not a technical restriction but a commercial one. Their contract with the payment provider probably doesn't include credit cards, or at least foreign ones.
Milk may be better than juice, but it isn't really well suited for humans either. The hormone mixture stimulates cell growth and helps a calf double its weight in 100 days, but what else profits from fast cell growth? Cancer.
You will find a lot of studies that support this thesis, and you'll find even more studies denying it - but guess who finances the latter, in most cases it's the dairy industrial complex.

Oh yes I tried that too but it didn't really pay off for me.

That daily streak really helped me stay at it for almost 340 days straight (French). Unfortunately even after daily practice for almost 1 year I can't say I learned anything much (French is a very difficult language and I'm old so that may have something to do with it and YMMV). But anyway seeing I was making no progress I had to quit.
America is in denial that their low-fat diet fails, and instead creates obesity, type two diabetes, and heart disease.
Only reason I read comments for NYT articles is to see if anyone has a scathing criticism about the article, and there usually is.
Is anyone else really bothered by the fact that academics don't put dates on their papers? This could have been written yesterday. It could have been written 10 years ago. How can I know?

I get this is not yet peer reviewed, but put a date on it that represents the last time it was touched. Like a last modified date or something. And it's not like it will get a date on it once it is peer reviewed. Someone will find it 5 years from now and think it still represents the state of the art.
Even if heap allocation itself is not more expensive, there must clearly be performance benefits to stack allocation, or the JVM wouldn't bother doing escape analysis in the first place.

Did you read the article? It's about how the SPE was a basically one big lie.
It seems genuine because they have great PR people and also people seem a bit dumber today. They forget things, and they trust bad actors at their word if it seems they want to change.

Google also appears like a force for good in people's minds. Microsoft just decided to use the same tactics.
You also cut the article to fit your point. E.g. full text regarding 574 participants:

=================================== quote

But many of the trial’s 574 participants reported having visual aberrations and dry eyes before surgery, and the study concluded that Lasik slightly reduced the prevalence of these problems.

Three months after surgery, however, glare, halos and double vision were common, affecting 50 to 60 percent of all patients, with up to 5 percent characterizing them as “very” or “extremely” bothersome.

Even after six months, some 41 percent of patients reported visual aberrations, with nearly 2 percent — or one in 50 — saying the symptoms presented “a lot of difficulty” or “so much difficulty that I can no longer do some of my usual activities.” And one-quarter of the patients followed six months had mild to severe dry eyes.

=================================== end quote

Note that wording here is unclear, because "many" is not quantified and we don't have percentage change over time here. Did it increase or not and by how much. But due to this it is possible to interpret this part however your want - that lasik made things worse or that it didn't.

> If ISPs were able to charge for this (they want to), Netflix would have to pay a lot more for this sort of premium placement, giving smaller players much more room to compete financially.

We've already seen that ISPs will abuse peering to charge for non-premium placement. And they'll charge that to smaller players too. So the end result is that Netflix will still get colocated, while smaller players are even worse off because they're paying extra for peering.
Pooling is neither necessary nor sufficient for deformation stability in CNNs
This was shown. When household incomes increased as women working became the norm, households had more to spend on housing, which meant house prices ballooned. Much of the rest of the money was taken by things like childcare, gardening, cleaners, etc.

This had the end result that those who want to stay at home can't, society is now based arround two decent income salaries.
USAA sues Wells Fargo over remote-deposit patents

So was the entire point of your post an excuse to do the typical obnoxious Scandinavian thing and brag about how Scandinavians are superior?

What else are you saying in the content of that post? Why should I ref that linked post, you quoted all of it, except for this cheap bash:

"There's clearly a lot of things the US is not doing right on many, many levels."

I'd love an explanation for how all of that adds up to anything other than: US dumb, Scandinavians superior peoples. I mean that's really great, just put it over there in the giant pile of worthless US bashing.

You're in Australia and conveniently avoided talking about their similarly extreme 29% obesity rate (the US is at 36%).

I have a system in apple notes where I use a separate note for each weekday. It gives me a chance to dump todos in there, without creating an overwhelmingly large list. I also naturally review my progress on neglected items each week.

There's just few things that are truly universal. One example from somewhat nearby: nodding means "no" in Bulgarian.
Yes, compared to productivity, rest appears to be a much better predictor / indicator of well-being for me. Rest also appears to help me see how much productivity is really necessary, when I would otherwise overshoot.
> What do you give kids other than water?!?

Well, for my toddler:

Milk [0]. Cold herbal tea (generally, diluted chamomile tea.) The occasional yogurt + whole fruit smoothie. (The latter as a treat—either that or a cookie but not both—on grocery shopping trips.)

[0] which includes “chocolate milk”, which is approximately a 7:1 ratio of whole milk to ultrafiltered chocolate milk.
You can license PIDs inexpensively from MCS Electronics in the Netherlands. They bought VID 16D0 before the USB IF prohibited reselling product IDs.

At this point I believe 16D0 has been revoked by the asshats at USB IF, but that's not the customer's problem. It's not as if they'll ever be able to assign VID 16D0 to anyone else.
Because the ratio is what makes people aim low or high. If it takes 75% to have a house, is very attractive to live in something smaller and pocket the delta for fun and games (and/or stash it away for a downpayment later in life). High wage/rent areas will only exaggerate this, since many of the luxuries in question are not coupled to local markets (gadgets, vacations, stressing away for living in a cheaper place)

If shelter is cheap, skimping there won't be worth it.
One issue here is that, taken as a whole, the vast majority of real estate in the US is incredibly cheap. In some places you can get land literally for free, generally with the condition that you build (or park - some even allow mobile homes) a home on that land. But as education has increased so has the desire of people to live and work in the most desirable areas in the US where the highest paying jobs are. It's not hard to see what happens there. A huge and never-ending increase in demand paired with wages way above the national norm for those who do establish themselves successfully. You're going to naturally send the price of housing skyrocketing.

The push for immigration is, in my opinion, coming primarily from the private sector who then "donates" to government to do their bidding. The reason is, as you mention, to drive down wages. This is likely even the reason for the push of trying to get more women into computer science. There's no shortage of developers, but there's also not an extreme surplus as there is for many other jobs. Getting more women in the field would stand to potentially near double the labor force which would enable companies to sharply cut wages. And conveniently it also sounds like a socially progressive movement and so companies work to undermine a labor force while getting cheered on by that same labor force for doing so.

Anyhow, these problems will ultimately only be solved when we stop pretending that 95% of this country doesn't exist. That goes for employee, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist alike.
Mobile App Success Story: Life Hacks by Crumblyy
A little off topic, but I recently watched this documentary on YouTube about a poor Chinese copy artist Zhao Xiaoyong, who has sold more than 90,000 Van Gogh reproductions. They follow him to the Netherlands to see the real works of Van Gogh who's consumed his life for decades. You might enjoy it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGECg0K3gMI
The fact that Go has acceptable GC performance surely shows that it's not inevitably necessary.
The narrative of the original experiment may be a "lie", but in what way is a Medium article the "truth"? It would be very important to educate and remind ourselves about how science actually works. It does not work with simple lies and truths, it is a path we follow and where we make many missteps. Even if Zimbardo did everything wrong - experiment, documentation, publishing, narrative, conclusions, influence - it is perfectly all right, the big river of science will slowly but steadily float it in the "right" direction.
Ok, but how is that a problem? If employer doesn't want you, you look for another job.

I must say, just last night I had a bit of coding to start and it seemed like I was being asked to kill a kitten or something, the thought was so incredibly depressing.

I forced myself, through the resistance, just to start.

I said I'd do it for an hour then I could stop. Note that this was beginning a new, big task. If I was in the middle of it I probably wouldn't have had such a huge urge to resist it.

Anyway, once I started it was cripplingly painful for about 5 minutes. Then I couldn't stop for the next few hours - I think because the thing I was working on was incrementally rewarding - every 5 minutes or so I could see the progress I was making.

Also, it helped a lot that I put on an interesting podcast that makes me feel great.

I suppose my point is that this guy is pretty correct, at least for me: it was pain I was avoiding, and just starting was the biggest hurdle.

I'm a bit ADD-ish, I think, so YMMV.

I'm curious : did this diet changes made any significant difference on your wellbeing?
Just in case anyone is worried by the suggestion in the sibling comment that dairy products are strongly linked to cancer and the evidence is being suppressed by the industry, here's what Cancer Research UK has to say on the matter:

> Milk and dairy are good sources of calcium and protein which are needed as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Calcium is important for teeth and bone health.

> Studies looking into the link between cancer and dairy products have not given clear results. There is evidence that dairy products could reduce the risk of bowel cancer, but we cannot say for sure that this is the case. There is no strong evidence linking dairy products to any other types of cancer. We need further research to find out more about the links between dairy products and cancer risk.

> Hormones in milk

> In some countries, a hormone called bovine somatotrophin (BST) is used to speed up or increase the production of milk or meat. In the UK and the rest of Europe, farmers are banned from using this hormone, and the import of meat from countries, including the US, where this hormone is used is also banned. This ban is on animal welfare grounds and not because there is any proven effect on human health. Independent health bodies including the European Union Scientific Committee have reviewed the evidence on BST and found it does not pose any harm to human health.

Low-carb has replaced low-fat as the diet trend for the last couple decades; and most people that aren't on the popular trendy diet aren't eating low-fat, they are eating high-everytjin, especially both carbs and fat (they may consume some low fat products intermittently for the illusion of doing something, but the typical American diet isn't low in fat.)

>> giving out 0.01% even to earliest employees

What I witnessed as guidance from a top-tier VC to its portfolio companies: 1% for employee #1, then ramp downwards for each employee: .07%, .05% etc and very quickly you reach .01%
I see this happening a lot. For eg, on youtube I often see Casey neistat buying candies,marshmallow candy for his daughter. Now i am not targeting him.just pointing out what i notice.(he has made great videos on actual calory content in butgers etc).He also has some juice many a times after runs, i dunno whether that's healthy juice without sugar. But, basically parents give in to kid's demands. Also, lack of suitable choices. I am in India, and even see poor mothers,kids purchasing chips or eating some refined flour item on roadside coz it's easily available.
Also, a while ago i read that in Brazil ,Nestle has these agents who sell nestle food poducts door2door, also obesity has risen due to high consumption of cheap ,packaged products like Nestle's. Big Food,Big Oil are the most prime corporate evils whose actions will be felt for many decades to come. I guess there are food startups trying to make good products, but haven't heard of a lot. I dunno whether their low sugar initiatives aee actually good, i mean it's obvious that after a cetain time they will have to change or perish but the question is how long.

Thanks, that's interesting. [And hi! I dropped out of a degree too :-)] Did you mean only “when trying to figure out how to do something…” as you said, or do you include even “when trying to do something”? Because not experiencing anxiety or frustration in the former is something I can manage too (a challenge is always fun, especially when it's a purely cognitive task like figuring something out), but the problem arises when one thinks one is in the latter situation.

To take the example from the OP, “do your taxes” is probably something that I have done a few times before: so I don't think of it as something to figure out how to do. (Maybe the fact that I'm so unsuccessful every year at doing it until the last minute means that I really do need to figure out how to do it, but it doesn't seem that way: it seems that I know roughly what it involves.) The mental model is that I'm just going to sit down for a few hours to “do my taxes”, and do all the things it usually involves. And it causes dread, avoidance, resistance. And the OP's suggested fix, the one you're commenting about, of replacing it in one's todo list with things like “gather bank statements” (or something smaller and concrete like that) seems to help immensely. Does this not fit your experience? (Maybe not with doing taxes, but with some dreaded task… or is there usually nothing you dread?)
First, the results have largely been replicated by other scientists, though the ethics limits the amount of replication able to be done.

Second, presumably the people in the control group without any apparent authority figure present would also have assumed it was a scientific experiment. So I'm not seeing how you think this ruins the experiment.

Finally, one of the Nazi justifications for the Holocaust was an attempt to advance medical science. So this test would still fit his motivation, though it does muddy any conclusions you can draw.
