I also bristled at the factory worker reference your replied to, as it refers to every relative I have (first one to get a degree). However your reply still isn't logical.

1) A CS degree is a lot more than a few classes of CS, not even counting math and other content.

2) I think when people here are saying "degree" it's really just a short cut for saying "taking some concentrated time to study important theoretical concepts that are useful to know as you go about real life software development". In other words, you could do the same thing without college. It's just harder to juggle multiple things and not have the structured path. Even this is not perfect because it's still unfortunately a resume signal, but that's a separate problem.

3) Coming out of college with little professional or practical experience has nothing to do with the value of leveraging what was learned in college as you go about obtaining that experience. You're company may not want people without practical experience, that doesn't mean they're against having a theoretical grounding also, two separate criteria.

4) This has nothing to do with ego. As I say the previous reference made was an unfortunate choice, but doesn't generalize to all people who take this path.
Your remark has led me to this article: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/death-by-bra-7225474.html

7. I saw that the only group of people able to preserve a

were the religious believers, the sectarians (almost all of
them), and most priests.

29. Russians’ uncontrollable urge to denounce and complain.

A warning for those who loudly denounce Western society as a great tyrannical patriarchy, who wish to replace the old culture. Be wary of complaining, denouncing, secular men and women.
> The extreme fragility of human culture, civilization. A man becomes a beast in three weeks, given heavy labor, cold, hunger, and beatings.

I remember hearing that from some Czech artist -- he said it was very surprising to see that all the civilized culture we have can be wiped out in just two weeks. What's so bad in stealing, lying, raping, murdering for food?

He learned to respect that fragile balance of culture we built over animal human nature.
The O(n) Spaghetti Sort also requires dry spaghetti: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_sort
That's not really a fair comparison. Just because something is "baked in" doesn't mean you can't get similar functionality from other libraries in a more ala-carte fashion.
My thoughts exactly but I'm pretty sure that's too late, the availability has come down a bit and I doubt that proof of work can scale much further.
He also has a new book "A Philosophy of Software Design" that is short and worth reading. (I'm currently on chapter 7.)
They aren't saying there's a clearly readable intrinsic value for any given company, only that there is some intrinsic value, and that prices can float both below and above it. When they do, buybacks destroy value. Obviously, management will always have some argument to support the higher value implied by a buyback (it could hardly be otherwise, unless you think management could with a straight face argue that they should overpay for their own stock). When they guess wrong --- and they're clearly incentivized to guess high --- they cause problems.
> I've never understood this idea of feeling humiliated at the gym or while starting a new sport.

I don't, either, but, because of that, I wouldn't presume to give out advice regarding this aspect without first understanding better what it is.

Too often, especially in the realm of mental illness (if I may work in the original article topic), advice comes from good intentions but ignorance, and that can be unhelpful, if not insulting.

I happen to have much of the same experience with exercise as the original commenter, except that it was not always so, which makes for an odd perspective.

I know what was, at least, previously possible, including the relatively immediate benefits of endorphin high and feeling more energized later that day and/or the following day. It's just that somewhere along the line of too many years of essentially no exercise at all, that stopped happening. Now, even a small amount of exercise (10-15 minutes of cardio, like walking) will result in feeling extra-lousy later that day and/or the following day, instead.

Given even this knowledge, I can tell you that the cliches (which, your advice is one of, if one of the better ones) just don't provide an actionable potential solution.

The vast majority of people may not have quite this hard of a problem to address, and maybe not even the majority of people suffering from depression, but that's part of what I would say makes depression so hard is that it can present with (or be co-morbid with) other issues that, were they not so hard, might make the depression "itself"[1] much easier to treat.

[1] I only use quotes because of the lack of distinct lines between symptoms of depression and disorders in their own right.

With Ethereum, you could make "reversible Ether" that is 1:1 exchangeable for ordinary Ether but has a two week waiting period before it's finalized.

You could make "seizable-by-the-FBI Ether" too, but I suspect nobody would want it.
There are many posts here showing poor results. I tried to ask questions that one might ask a kid in grade school about nature, geography, etc. and I thought the results were OK.

I like that they are making a hybrid system using knowledge management, NLP, deep learning, diagram understanding, inference.

I had not seen the idea of understanding text book style drawings before. Very cool.

And why is that? It takes a while for the most popular hardware to change and linux could easily track it.
What kind of ebike, where'd you get it, how much was it, can it be serviced under warranty anywhere? I was casually looking at the e-Joe. $50/month is something like an ebike every 2 years, which seems like a decent price to pay, not something that would make me rush to buy my own, all things considered. $50/mo. instead of buying my own $100 scooter would be a different story.

The highest correlation to surgical success is number of that type of procedure performed by a surgeon. I'd be interested to see that research if you still have it.
I didn't find the exchange particularly extraordinary. The judge is expressing his opinion that he doesn't buy what Shapiro is selling. The judge will have already studied Shapiro's written arguments before the trial. During the oral arguments, the judge has a chance to clarify things from the written arguments. I haven't read the full transcript, but I imagine Leon didn't feel fully convinced by the written arguments, asked Shapiro to address some of his concerns, continued to feel unsatisfied and decided to move on. That's how it goes sometimes. Time is not unlimited and there are always too many things to cover.

At the very least, Shapiro's argument is complicated and novel (it has never been used as a part of an anti-trust case before). Tellingly, the Bloomberg article doesn't not even attempt to explain or summarize the economic theory. It's not like Leon is pigheadedly refusing to accept some widely accepted, basic economic principle.

If we are going to criticize the ruling, let's do so by discussing the substance of the judge's opinion, not courtroom banter.

Lenin wrote about the inevitability of monopoly in 1916. He would not have been surprised that the 1911 break up of Standard Oil would be undone in 1999 with the ExxonMobil, nor the slow reconsolidation of the Baby Bells, nor the other monopolies bringing us back to the gilded age.

Honestly, I have a lot of hope that heavy-handed regulation is on its way out. I was at Code for America for a while, where I got to see how leading governments are starting to adopt a lot of the user-focused, iterative techniques that are common in the tech world.

It will take a while, and it should. Governments can't go bankrupt, and they can't just serve the easy customers. That means they can't take as many risks. But part of the reason that user-focused, iterative approaches are now so dominant in the tech world is that it's a great risk-reduction approach. Computers and digital communications make it possible to have much more nuanced regulation, and to be more experimental. Even for governments.
Bitcoin vs Crypto.

It isn't economic (in most places, unless you have extremely cheap electricity and GPU cards) to mine bitcoin on GPUs.

It can be economic to mine other crypto currencies.
> Vatrushka (Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian: ватрушка) is an Eastern European pastry (pirog) formed as a ring of dough with quark in the middle, sometimes with the addition of raisins or bits of fruit. The most common size is about five inches in diameter, but larger versions also exist. Vatrushkas are typically baked using a sweet yeast bread dough. Savoury varieties are made using unsweetened dough, with onion added to the filling.

I think cryptocurrencies could be part of a novel arbitration system, actually. Parties to a human-readable contract put up a bond on a smart contract which authorizes some mutually agreed arbitrator to disburse the bonds on completion of the contract, according to how things turned out. It's an irrevocable submission to the arbitrator's authority over restitution and punishment, but the smart contract prevents the arbitrator from absconding with the bonds (though they could still collude with one of the participants.)
> 22. I saw that women are more decent and self-sacrificing than men

The majority of men love themselves while women love others. Men will sacrifice for themselves. Women will sacrifice for others.

Maybe it's a different situation in other countries, but in New Zealand, a lot of uber drivers are actually former taxi drivers. They (at least used to) make more money driving for Uber than driving a taxi.

Taxis have always been a gig economy, it's just that you used to have a big sticker on the side of your car. Taxi drivers have never been paid a wage.
#2-#9 (roughly) are taking on more financial risk (this corresponds to the startup's market risk).

#50 is probably being hired for very specific skills and experience (to mitigate technical risk) that increases their opportunity cost considerably, and you aren't going to get an engineer with a track record of scaling operations like yours unless they get a decent salary and a shot at a significant upside.

For certain skillsets and track records, when a startup is having severe growing pains, it becomes a sellers' market.
On the opposite side of the coin the same reversibility is also great for fighting fraud from scammy sellers. For consumers anything interacting with real world items really needs to be reversible or scammers will have a field day with it and damage the brand.
just like 2 part repair epoxy is never going to be a huge business

I disagree, just look at companies like 3M or DuPont.
A couple corrections to the section on token binding:

1. It works on all TLS connections, not just mTLS connections. It even works on unauthenticated TLS (although I wouldn't advise forgoing server authentication). That's the beauty of key binding the token. It's useless without the key.

2. It's unclear what the tokbind noun refers to in this paragraph. I'm going to assume that you are just referring to the token binding. A token binding lasts for the duration of a TLS connection (sans renegotiation and resumption which complicate things) and is derived from the [clientrandom,serverrandom,mastersecret] of the connection. The token binding secret is just an RSA or ECDSA keypair, independent of client or server certificates, that is generated when the token is issued. The token is bound to the keypair (e.g. by a hash of the public key that's stored in a JWT claim or stored in a database table keyed by an opaque oauth token).

3. Anyone can use token binding, not just members of the IETF TLS working group :)
>I'm not a historian but it strikes me as very strange and somewhat new to the world.

It’s similar to the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the opioid crisis taking the place of people drinking themselves to death.

You also see the same high-levels of corruption, especially in tech, where former Obama officials are given high-level jobs at the big firms or gig unicorns. Hell, even Obama himself just got a Netflix deal.

I'd bet Musk saying it was Tesla's decision not to renew the deal is a classic PR corporate power myth.
Fair enough - can I say somewhere between the two? I don't feel comfortable calling myself a true "Joyce scholar", but I did my undergraduate degree in literature where one of my classes was a full semester seminar on Ulysses; its publication history - and the various editors who've had a crack at the text - were discussed.

That aside, I'm an avid casual Joyce fan - I've read the book several times outside of that class, both before and after.

Those qualifications aren't exactly impressive, but I think they're enough for me to entreat the prospective Ulysses reader - tolle lege! Pick it up and read!
I just rewrite an expensive task so that it explicitly processes a chunk that takes a limited amount of time...which also helps with running out of resources in many cases.
The wait staff at the restaurants usually don't get tipped on those kinds of orders either. And in most of the US the wait staff are only making $2.13 an hour or something like that.
It should be the other away around. The gig economy should only be for people that have economic security. If you've got food & rent covered some other way but want some extra cash for luxuries, it's nice to have the option to pick up a few gigs.

Much of the marketing for Uber drivers implies this fantasy.

Maybe BI will make this fantasy a reality.
or; how google will push TLS around like it pushes W3C.
Yes, you're correct, it is an opinion piece. But I think you need to be careful between labeling people as political shills, since even political shills can make good points from time to time.

It's also worth noting that there's a real deep division in economics between the "Freshwater" and the "Saltwater" types, and it's important to know which kind of economist your reading. He's of the "Freshwater" type so he's going to be Anti-Keynesian, but that's okay.

Lastly, it was written before 2014 so everything changed after Thomas Piketty wrote "Capital in the 21st Century".
According to [1] if you have 15c/kWh electricity you can make about $1/day with a 1080ti on Bitcoin. This of course doesn't cover the cost of the card for over a year.

Other coins are slightly more profitable though.

Are you sure it was acoustic noise?

I don't know how fans actually implement variable speed. But I can think of several methods that would generate lots of electrical noise. Fan manufacturers have an incentive to build as cheaply as possible, so I doubt they take too many steps to mitigate crap they put out on the power lines and/or radiate from their speed controller.
Eh, kind of a stretch. Religion is not a purely Western invention, and you're reading what you want to in #29.
Definitely a mistake, and incredibly unlikely any human judgement was involved; jspaint is completely safe.
> CORS only applies to requests for restricted resources like fonts or XHR requests that aren't simple GETs and POSTs.

This is completely incorrect. You can not make any XHR GET or POST requests cross-origin without CORS.

Fonts also do not require CORS, you can link to them in your CSS/styles/etc without technical restrictions (might be legal restrictions of course).
The article is claiming that the development of self-driving cars will require killing people on public roads. That's a tantalizing prospect ("kill thousands now to save millions later"), but no evidence or arguments are presented why. Sure, there will be deaths due to road accidents, but is it really inevitable that more people will die due to failures of engineering like Uber's or Tesla's?
Did he say his work was real or a copy? If defrauding then I can't be sympathetic.

> You don't have to call in sick

And in countries that have sick leave, it means that you don't get paid for your day off sick.

You also don't have a minimum wage as a contractor, because when you're not driving a passenger, you're not "working". For countries with strong labour laws like Australia, it's a massive erosion of workers rights. Most Uber Eats drivers and riders are also making less than minimum wage for the hours they are working. Plus there are no penalty rates for working nights, weekends, or public holidays.
This is completely right. I don't think people realize how much tying healthcare to full time employment hurts people and slow innovation.

It makes people stick in bad situations and disadvantages small businesses both financially and in wasted time.
"In short, we plan to regularly mint new TLS versions (and likely other sensitive parameters such as extensions), roughly every six weeks matching Chrome’s release cycle."
Could go on all day, you can ping me privately if you like.

There are other simple things, logic and circuits get you familiar with many things. How to take any language expression and change each term to invert it or manipulate parts of it quickly and knowing exactly what will happen.

Compiler theory is helpful not much because many people end up designing languages but for other reasons. For example DSLs (small domain specific languages) are used all the time for different purposes.

Learning about formal proofs of correctness. Again even though it's not widely done just being aware of it helps you understand the limitations and what's possible with the reliability of software.

Some grasp of discrete math is required to work with lots of things like 3d graphics.

Physics is a supplement that would just exclude you from a fair amount of jobs without some level of knowledge.

No one is mastering all these things at an undergrad level. I'm sure I've forgotten tons of it. But just the exposure, knowing its there helps, and when you need to actually use it it's easier to jump back in and ramp up or go deeper.

It is interesting to read the web developer perspective on this element. Perhaps it is of little use to them.

As an end user who prefers using a non-graphical http client to retrieve web content to a file (then view the file in another program -- often a browser), I use this element every day.

When I know I will use a browser to view the file, I use a client that writes the base href according to the target domain to beginning of the file.
Sort of, but Blue Gene tech was always an Argonne thing, Oak Ridge has been the one doing GPUs for awhile now. Unless something weird happens Argonne and Oak Ridge will always be running different types of computer since we don’t want to be locked into one specific vendor or hardware configuration.
