I can say what not to do: never do something to undermine or expose your boss no matter how incompetent he is.

Personally I let my boss take all credit for my work (not really, just make everything I can in order to get him promoted). When he gets promoted he is likely to carry me up with him (if not I'm working for the wrong boss). It paid out several times.
That's not necessarily true. Just last night my wife and I watched "Dr. Marsten and the Wonder Women", a movie about Dr. William Moulton Marston, his wife Elizabeth and their mutual lover Olive. The women stayed together even after William died. So it can work out. But it's extremely rare, and not just because of social pressures. It's hard enough to find two people who are mutually compatible. The problem of matching people up gets exponentially harder as N grows.

Why does a university have a personality test?
There may be racial differences in personality, but it is implausible that as the proportion of Asians in the high-achieving student population rises, their personalities get just worse enough that the fraction of Asian students at Harvard stays about the same. Harvard admits this when it says that what brings the Asian fraction down to 18% is "demographic".

Elite universities are often accusing the broader society of racism, when in fact they are some of the most blatant perpetrators of racial discrimination.

I am recent convert to Apple and before I abandoned windows for Linux sometime around Vista, I would always disable every desktop sound as you do.

That being said, I have to say that the sound my apple laptop makes when it boots (which doesn't happen often; there is no wake-from-sleep sound) is oddly comforting.

I am actually disappointed it is being removed.
Statement by the President Regarding Trade with China
From the horse's mouth:

“We could fill our class twice over with valedictorians,” Harvard President
Drew Gilpin Faust told an audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival, sponsored
by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic, on Monday. That means admissions
officers rely on intangibles like interesting essays or particularly unusual
recommendations to decide who comprises the 5.9 percent of applicants who
get in.

Faust's top tip for raising a Harvard man or woman: “Make your children
interesting!”

For parents and students alike, that’s both good news and bad news. The bad
news is that of course it’s much easier to say that than to actually make it
happen, though Faust recommended encouraging children to follow their
passions as a way to develop an interesting personality. It’s much easier to
complete a checklist, however daunting, than to actually be interesting.[1]

You won't regret it if you go to entrepreneurship and ship.

The problem is not about entrepreneurship but in not planning for failure and having backup plans.

John Carmack: "There is wisdom that only comes from complete product cycles -- no amount of job hopping can provide it." [1]

From personal experience, I can say go for it not because you hate corporate, but because you want an end to end experience, then come back to an even better role, better pay cheque corporate job, if the gig fails but you have shipped and have good landing zone on failure (some months with expenses in bank mainly). HTH.

PIC32 is one of the the most underestimated MCU architectures; you get a small powerful computer for a fraction of the cost of one.

Perhaps there's a heavy correlation confusion here -- I expect it's more like "If you're the type of person who would stay in a stable marriage, then your kids will do better than those who aren't, but you don't actually have to get married to confer that effect, it's just about what type of person you are"?

They should appeal, but they'll likely lose.

Honestly, it's kind of preposterous that a single judge is making a decision that affects the entire world (given globalization) representing a country of over 300 million! It at least should go to a panel or jury.
No it doesn't, polyamory makes the sex market winner take all which is primed by the premium women put on more attractive mates, or discount they put on less attractive ones. Because their preferences skew you would see fewer men with more women, which is the opposite of what you claim will happen. Try thinking it through!
Under Colorado law people do get evicted for being three days late on their rent.

Under Colorado law, if landlords have not received rent, they can file a three day notice. During those three days, a tenant can either fix the breach or leave the property. If the tenant has neither fixed the breach nor vacated the property after three days, the landlords can terminate the lease and start the formal eviction with the court.
I disagree. His original vision for these types of projects was an elevator from surface to tunnel for a vehicle(likely a Tesla).

So with that in mind as kind of a barebones version, even if he was to build a 17 mile tunnel that was effectively a walkway I would consider that a success.

But a 17 mile tunnel that can accommodate autonomous Tesla 3, just as an extreme example, that’d also be a success. The autonomy would work perfectly within the tunnel, it wouldn’t need a track. If there was elevators on both ends, then multiple Tesla’s could go in and be queued at the destination end for the elevator back to surface.

It wouldn’t be 12 minutes but it’d still be way faster than rush hour.

The electric skate version of the tunnel I think is the idealized version.

What breaking changes? React's API has been very stable. As of version 16 the entire core has been rewritten without breaking the API.

Good, hopefully that will encourage more newcomers to try Vue instead of React, I find Vue to be more elegant and easy to learn (and understand) than React.

Hopefully as the Vue community grows that will drive more resources to the development of cool projects like Weex either directly by having members of the community getting involved on the development of those projects, or indirectly by motivating companies to develop tools to cater a sizable market.

I think that's actually the primary problem with this idea. If all you have is a crew that can live on their ship, and they arrive at Alpha Centauri... now what? Terraforming on anything even remotely resembling a useful time frame is a massive undertaking. Literally in this case, requiring both substantial mass, and energy in enough quantities that it is reasonable to use mass-based measurements to quantify it! They're far more likely to just sidle up to an asteroid loaded with useful things and start using the local resources.

But if you're going to do that, there are useful asteroids waaay closer than the next star system over.

Interstellar colonization makes some degree of sense, but not until we're pretty far along exploiting the local system. It's not something even our great-grandchildren are actually going to do while there's so many resources here.

But, eventually, if humanity and its descendants keep growing, eventually it makes sense. And rather than cobbling together something that can just barely make it and then do nothing, by then they'll have the infrastructure to make many ships, and give them useful things that will actually be helpful at the other end. And they may even be able to build "bridges"; if space really is full of ice planets we can't see, those make fantastic bases for launching and deceleration lasers, and if you can use those, the economics suddenly start looking a lot more practical.

And I'd point out that barring a lot of very enormous coincidences, other planets aren't going to be "disease-ridden". If anything has to worry about being "disease-ridden", it's the ship they're on, not the almost-certainly sterile matter on the other end.
Assume it does cost $1bn, then that's 40million rides to break even (obviously a lot of other costs I'm ignoring here). If only 5% of people using OHare (80million) take it, then that's 10 years before it is paid back. Considering this infrastructure should last 50 years minimum, it could well be profit generating or at least revenue neutral.
This has been my experience as well, I knew someone personally that was in an open relationship and her husband became jealous because she was readily able to find sexual partners outside of the marriage, while he wasn't really having the same luck. They ended up divorcing.
Can you elaborate on the rate of breaking change? As far as I'm aware React's API has been backwards compatible for many versions at this stage. There have been deprecations introduced with React 16 but they don't come into effect until 17 which seems pretty reasonable.
But my true love is a private, quiet office ... :(
>we're farther from that goal than ever

It's still plausible that the recent trend is an improvement (and that we're therefore closer to the broader goal of general welfare, if not high marriage rates). There's less cultural pressure to marry, and so people abstain from marriage whose marriages likely would have ended unhappily, in divorce. A happy marriage is probably better than being single, but being single is probably better than an unhappy marriage.
> Personally, I think we'd all be a lot better off if we adopted open and polyamorous relationships in a large way.

How is this different from being single? And what indication do you have that this would be a good idea?

Anecdotal I guess, but people who label their relationships this way have been without exception some of the most dysfunctional people I’ve ever met living in extremely unstable living conditions and breaking up and moving constantly.

I firmly stood by this opinion during the last World Cup of 2014 when I was still a high-schooler. From that tournament to this, I deeply regret the choices I've made for myself. Due to the influence of T.V & Social Media, I participated in high-school sports while my friends took part in International Olympiads competition. I won medals with my football team while my peers won medals on Physics, Maths, etc. Thus, I'm not gonna let them influence the rest of my life. Now, I strictly live my life following so called Death-bed philosophy[0].

I spend quality time with my friends & family to discuss about our day-to-day incidents and others, not to debate on a third person's performance on the pitch. Also, I don't find much difference among Olympics or Fifa World Cup or any other world sporting leagues, regardless of their popularity or duration, I find all of them to serve NIL for my prosperity- just a frequent hit of dopamine, that's all.

The highway corridor from downtown to Ohare is one of the worst commutes in the country. Expanding mass transit is a good thing from this point of view.
It's the same type of entitlement that makes me free to listen to anything spoken in a public space. We can debate what is the public space in this case, is it a publicly discoverable or password protected URL etc. - case in which is not really "published", i.e made public. If it's legal for me to download it on my machine, then I should be able to read it and disregard any prompt (or setup my agent to so), it's clearly a non-binding contract.

Just because you don't have a use (today) doesn't mean that no one has a use for it, much less that you wouldn't find a use for it tomorrow.

Touch on a laptop screen is a huge convenience, it's not a laptop identity problem. Sometimes tapping or scrolling a thing feels more natural, even on a laptop, even on any other screen that you own. Apple has used that very logic in their own marketing of the iPhone and iPad, that touching things is the more natural feel, that directly interacting with things on the screen is quite natural.

To a child growing up with iPhones and iPads, a screen without touch is "broken".

For an adult me, switching between a Windows laptop with touch to a macOS laptop without one takes a bit of mental gymnastics because I keep wanting to just tap the shiny icons to do things and I get briefly confused why the screen is broken when I try to touch them. I don't care how good you think a trackpad is, it's still sometimes faster to reach up and poke something with your pointer finger than track a pointer the long journey over to a thing. It's a nice convenience to have touch on the screen and do it directly.

Maybe that convenience doesn't interest you, that's fine, but it doesn't mean that convenience doesn't exist. (Plus, when you get into differently abled people you start to find people that that convenience starts to matter a lot more for their day-to-day happiness.)
So... another example where the relationship between real trends and statistics and the ones people hear/believe are basically estranged. Pun intended, I sincerely apologize.

Beyond that.., i still have not heard a narrative that rang true to me. In some nontrivial senses, I think the instinctive conservative explanations are probably true. Society did unravel, as women's liberation and other big cultural shifts happened. Some of this is very simple, financial independence of both people changes what a marriage is and makes divorce possible.

A lot of this was probably down to feedbacks. Divorce became more common, more normal than it had been This made it an option, where it hadn't been.

I suspect that the "people just got flakier" narrative is mostly "kids today" BS, but who knows.

The way coupled get together has been totally rattled every generation for 4-5 generations now.

In any case, it's interesting that the trend is reversing. My general instictive guess is quasi-femenist. The nature of gender relations & marriage completely changed, starting in the 50s (or maybe the 20s). This basically broke marriage, as an institution. Maybe we've been putting it back together in our generation. This is pretty vague though.

I'm still waiting to stumble across a sociological narrative that tickles my "ah, that makes sense!" nerve. It's an interesting question.

that's ok, you'll get used to it as you fall into the comforting sound of "blonk" over and over again, as that USB-C cable that's charging it loosens and slides in and out as you use it.
But my point still stands. If you are letting the machine set your speed according to the car ahead, what if that car's speed is not appropriate for you? Does the machine make a judgement as to the performance abilities of the car ahead? Humans wouldn't follow as close to a Porsche as they would a truck. You don't want to be too close to something that can stop far faster than you can.

If the adaptive cruise control is staying far enough away that it can always stop that is an entirely different problem. Leaving so much distance, so much empty road, between cars reduces the total carrying capacity of the lane, which isn't good for anyone.
- Become proficient in Vim or Emacs

- Get comfortable on the command line — it's almost a running joke now that modern tools are often outperformed by awk/sed/grep/cut/etc

- Go through the book 'Seven Languages in Seven Weeks' — You won't thoroughly learn those seven languages, but you will learn how to learn programming languages

- Get good at recognising hype and reducing marketing language to their core ideas. This seems especially applicable in the JavaScript world (though this may just be my confirmation bias speaking)

- Get good at accurately defining the problem you intend to solve. This would seem so fundamental that it isn't worth mentioning, but you'd be surprised how often people jump to "Ah! An excuse to play with shiny new framework/tool/languge/whatever" before knowing what it is they're solving

Most of these seem quite fundamental, but you go an awful long way in this industry on fundamentals.
Case studies make for bad statistics. I wouldn't want to make the rules for all of society just because it allegedly worked out for one group(?) of people.
I know the media like to bleat on about the decline of family values but I'm somewhat sceptical about that.

It seems far more likely that women just have more options than they did in our parents and grandparents time. Reversing that might improve the figures but it would also come with some undesirable side effects such as extending abusive relationships.
I'll try it. Thanks!
