"Football" is kind of a generic term in Australia depending on where in the country you are when you say "I'm going to the Football tonight" you could be talking about Rugby (Either Rugby League or Rugby Union), AFL (Australian Rules Football), or Soccer (The A-League).

That said local soccer teams tend to call themselves Football clubs use the initials FC. The local soccer team where I live is "Sydney FC".

I will say A-League games are pretty good to go to the atmosphere at live games is a lot better than Rugby League games. The crowd really gets into it. My friend is a season ticket holder and he drags me along to A-League games semi-regularly and even sitting in the members area at the matches is pretty good.

BALL-PITS and CLOWN NOSES

I worked with a guy, Bob, in our college computer room. Bob had returned to get his BS after many years in industry. He had great stories. He also had great advice. He taught me that you can learn a lot about how a company will treat their employees by paying attention to the way they treat you during the interview. He suggested several sign that indicated it was best to just "walk away".

If you go into a restaurant for a professional lunch meeting and they have a ball-pit / swing set /etc. it might not be the most professional place to hold the meeting. Just walk away.

If you go to a 5 star restaurant and they want you to wear a clown nose (Everybody Does It!) Just walk away.

The big scam is "We hire the best and the brightest". "We mandate a whiteboard test (Everybody Does It)". It is my opinion (based on experience) that companies that insist on a whiteboard test, despite years of programming on your resume and open source code, are either Ball-Pit companies (who don't know what it means to be a professional) or Clown-Nose companies (who know what it means to be a professional but still treat you like a commodity). Just walk away.

I understand why Google does it. I've even interviewed there. They get thousands of resumes (which they never read, at least nobody did at my interviews). They have to weed out the "learn coding in 6 weeks" crowd. But you're a professional. You should expect to be treated like one. You don't ask your surgeon to cut up hams in an interview. You don't ask your builder to nail two boards together. Professional accountants are not interviewd by bank tellers and ask to count change.

Google, like Microsoft before it (remember the "why are manholes round? quizes?"), have combined the marketing claim "We hire the best and brightest" with the ball-pit mentality of whiteboarding. Google HR (sorry, People Resource?) SHOULD be embarrassed but apparently they, and upper management, LIKE ball-pits.

A real professional interview involves a discussion about what the company does, what it current problems are (aka why are they hiring), and a discussion of if you, as a professional, have the skills to solve the problem. What do they need? How can you contribute?

We, as professionals, should consider whiteboarding as an insult.

Just walk away.

Reasons for fame, while interesting in themselves, only matter insofar as they determine the demographics of a celebrities following and how likely that demographic is to try the products they associate themselves with.

A small thought experiment now, say I run a restaurant and both Tom Hanks and Lebron James go on national television and declare it their favorite place to eat, what happens? I'd say starting the next day I'm going to be flooded with reservations despite the fact that the talents that make them famous have nothing to do with their ability to judge food.

Influencers are influencers because a large group of people act collectively to give them influence. The reasons why people give influencers such influence is varied but as a business owner all that really matters is how much that influence may be worth monetarily.

Unless you live north of Tegel though, it's going to be faster to get to either Hbf or Südkreuz, and when you get there, you just walk to the platform, wait for the train, walk on, and sit down.

how is it ignorant to suggest amerikkka has a racist past and it's still being pushed today as you've described casually.

So blacks and hispanics are not villified at all in your view? being grouped into economic apartheid that is repeatedly paraded on media as thugs, gangbangers and of low intellectual capacity?

For example, it is generally accepted in mainstream american culture that making fun of blacks, as a result of slavery, is very taboo but other minorities tend to get a pass. I've encountered this many times in the so called "liberal and mutlicultural society" powerhouse of the West. You are either Black or White in America I've been told. People in between don't matter.

Well, I called the SEC and they said they can't think of a way how these ICOs are not violating the Howey Test. Basically that in time, they be prosecuted.

Good luck because you won't find an ico that is not a security aimed at swindling teachers, baristas and other innocent people.

The % of 'Good ICO' is very very small, if non existant. It turns out nobody wants to do an ICO unless they get money. Fuck you. If you've been involved in an ICO or blockchain charlatanism, you are well deserving of scrutiny.

In a few years after the crypto craze is over, everybody will be busy sending out DMCA notices to Google to hide their involvement in the 99% of ICO that will never deliver, get 'hacked', or just take off with the money.

Why are there so many ex-convicts in this ICO/crypto space? Like literally, a huge chunk of these so called ICO investors and founders have very shady pasts. Why isn't anybody calling people out on this? Why do we have criminals being entrusted with people's livelihood?
Yes, that does indeed happen, and is an example of where you're paying with your time.

My point is that if you're not paying with your time, and most people are not, then someone else is paying for it. The rent doesn't go away, it's just getting covered by someone else.

Is "parralel" a real word in English? I think the author meant "parallel"?

I am asking this because everywhere in the README.md and even the source code itself uses "parralel", so this typo seems to be proposital. The author is either using a uncommon way to write the word parallel, is not a native speaker or there is some other reason.

I had almost exactly the (almost the exact?) same experience.

I was 12 when I picked up a "Head First Java" at the library. The first chapters on for loops and variables were a breeze, but after a few more the book started a new program of loosely analogizing various function specifiers to real-world ontologies; all against the background of a writing style that emphasized that programmers can also write (and poorly photoshop) in a "WILD & ZANY STYLE THE KIDS WILL LOVE'. Yes, I'm starting to remember the trauma now: "Vehicles and Cars" or 1-Stripe Zebras vs Zebras-with-many stripes vs a Zebra with a stripes attribute...

I had no problem with a for loop to print "FUGAZI SUX" 99 times, but the book wasn't communicating how these concepts were important to making a nontrivial program in Java; which I desperately wanted to do so badly.

A bit later, I downloaded a book about writing computer exploits, which was very basic and very direct. Strangely, dealing with computers at this extremely basic level of stored instruction pointers, buffer overflows and assembly language actually let me gain the skills required to be an "actual programmer".
You can, but that only solves part of the problem: keeping pointer types from being used as the wrong type. You still have the equivalent of use-after-free to guard against which the lifetime system tracks for you for pointers, but not for handles.
These types of people are very much attracted to get rich quick schemes, obviously.

Given that cryptocurrency currently and historically has existed almost solely as a "you can get rich quick with this" scheme, I don't find it surprising at all.

Given that the President of the United States went on a yelling spree recently about Bezos' ownership, I'd say most people who can distinguish the Washington Post from the Washington Times (owned by Sun Myung Moon's religion and absurdly right-wing) also know who owns the Post.

(Which isn't to say everyone knows that either—a lot of people seem to take the Times equally seriously—but solving the problem of bad-faith media existing is another one entirely, and quite probably the answer is it shouldn't be solved at all.)

> What constitutes “ripping people off” is an incredibly political and ever-shifting judgment.

I think that for the example given, ICOs, the opposite is true.

For "most" of these situations, whether something is a straight up scam or not is very obvious. And I am glad that the SEC has chosen to mostly go after the scams.

Sure, grey areas will come up. But what does it matter if the grey areas are less than 1% of the market?

There are certainly cases in the world where the nitty gritty details matter, and that there are huge grey areas. I just don't think the ICO market is one of these nuanced cases.

I think there's currently a tremendous, almost unbelievably large, over-emphasis on music that has a written score in most music programs, which leaves out literally everything that is popular and contemporary. One has to specifically pursue those subjects in elective classes (there are jazz programs that make it up through the 70s as part of the primary coursework, but popular modern music is practically absent from most college music programs). Even when modern music is covered, it tends to be those pieces written by composers using traditional methods, which includes a written score...which is not what is popular.

This is a new phenomenon (though, I guess, studying music in college is also a new phenomenon, when speaking on the time scale of music history). Bach was popular in his time, and he paid attention to other popular composers of his time. What we think of as the "repertoire" that is sort of widely regarded as what someone ought to study as a music major is also pretty new-fangled. There was much less awareness of music from even different parts of the same continent during Bach or Beethoven's time than we have today (I mean, we likely know more about contemporaries of Beethoven from across Europe than he did in his day, and we certainly have better access to history on both sides of his life than he did), and yet we pretend this is how it's always been and that it's the way it should be.

There's a good argument to be made about a common language among musicians...and that historically has been the western repertoire that is generally taught in universities, but there are other common music languages that have similar depth and rigorous analysis (jazz being one of them, perhaps surprisingly, given its origins as popular dance and party music). A music education is supposed to prepare someone to make and/or play music (hopefully music that they like) often with others, and always for others. The musical language they use to speak to those other people doesn't have to be deeply informed by Bach to be valuable.

Of course, if that is the music someone loves and the music someone wants to make, it's great that it's available to them. But, I think it's Eurocentric and extremely limiting when imposed as a requirement.

Well the tooling you are referring to is more like buildingin an automatic sensor into a basic tool. So it's an enhancement to a basic rtool functionality, not a new tool. I'm only questioning the usefulness of that enhancement, since it results in programmers not caring about a certain aspect of their programming. It's sort of like exception handling, while it exists, it rarely gets activtaed in real programs.
