Oracle · Senior/Principal Full-Stack Software Engineer · ONSITE in Seattle, WA · Relocation Assistance · Full-Time

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) team builds and operates a suite of massive scale, integrated cloud services in a broadly distributed, multi-tenant cloud environment. We offer unique opportunities for smart, hands-on engineers with the expertise and passion for solving challenging problems.

We're looking for talented frontend and full-stack developers, with a minimum of 2 years experience, who are proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript, React and Redux; some of our legacy code is in ClojureScript.

If you'd like to have a quick chat about what it's like to build a cloud, please reach out to me at paul.borza@oracle.com, and I'll be happy to talk to you. Thanks!
Looks interesting, but only available in DK and UK for now.
I'll take any thoughts here. Currently our landing page really seems to resonate with full time freelancers, but not really with part-time/moonlighters, independent consultants or solopreneurs, even though Covailnt’s built for them as well. I have ideas on what I can do with some of the language, but as you guys know, it’s risky to stay inside your own head sometimes. I’ll take anything you throw at me. Thanks all!

There have been multiple tax tribunal cases in the UK over what constitutes a cake or a biscuit. We have seen multiple cases over the distinction between an employee and a self-employed contractor. Even if you have an ultra-minimalist flat tax code, you're still going to have disputes over what constitutes earned income and what is or isn't a legitimate business expense. Tax is hard.

>Also, is it personal responsibility if the state has put the parent in a situation where they will be systematically stripped of resources?

That is hardly the only problem. Society isn't at fault for all of the ills of low income areas.
In High School, I went to a magnet school where you had to be in the top 5% of your middle school class to be accepted. We took in students from something like 10 school districts. Freshman year was insane because the quality of student was all over the place. There were segments of students who couldn't read.

There are absolutely socioeconomic factors that played into this, and "letting bad schools fail" is only going to hurt the students that are already hurting.

I struggle a lot when it comes to education because "teaching to a test" is the bane of teachers everywhere, but if we don't set a standard, how will we measure success?
I'm not quite sure about that. The point is that because she rejects one food in favour of another shows a preference, but it does not necessarily show an understanding of exchangeable value. To say it shows she understands how to attribute value I think is jumping to conclusions. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying let's not jump to conclusions about what's going on in her mind. She could say that she prefers cans of tuna. That doesn't mean she is able to think that one can of tuna is worth 200 sausage snack packs to her.

edit: I suppose we could claim that the cat is making judgements on value, but is unable to actually measure the value they're thinking due to complete lack of mathematical prowess. I guess it's possible in that way for cats to understand value, but not actually use or express it in any way, except for choosing whether to eat what's in front of them, due to lack of cognitive capacity. Perhaps I was guilty of thinking value judgements require mathematical understanding.
Yeah, this such a colossal mess.

I occasionally hear of Warren making statements, about economic matters, that are completely detached from reality. The problem isn't knowledge, it's judgement.

I am skeptical that we can get well defined laws such that algorithmic enforcement is feasible before say mathematical proofs of computer software is widespread. If we can't/don't practically do the latter, I'm not sure how we expect the former to become possible in a general sense.

On the other hand, maybe there is a useful narrow subset of contracts/contract law that is possible to implement. Aren't there some contract areas which are written with fairly extensive references to some set of uniform agreements?

Genuinely curious: Do you believe that there are no limits to free speech, nor any scenarios in which, without prior censorship, you may say something that is illegal?

What I described enables someone to publish lies that actively harm a second person, but then the first person gets fined / jailed for it. Do you think this is reasonable? Or that the sanctity of free speech should protect that first person, and impose on third people the effort and responsibility of determining whether what was said about the second person is fact or lie?

Why Are Some Caves Full of Shoes?
But forth is a very low level language isn’t it? Even though it’s interpreter, it’s naturally going to be a lot faster than JS and even Java because it maps very closely to the assembler instructions you would normally write by hand. So it would be probably 3x slower than C assuming every Forth instruction takes three C instructions to run (get opcode and arguments, do operation, push on stack).
"That’s certainly a popular talking point, but I think frankly it’s impossible;"

The social contract is not carte blanche allowance for anything to happen. There's a feedback loop involved, in which the governed can give or revoke consent.

> Society is not some natural phenomenon like gravity that operates in necessity.

However, people are driven by natural phenomenon like the conservation of energy, and thus need to eat. For most people in the US, if they want to eat, it is necessary to drive to work.

> And there are many, many people who would point out that they do not agree with and certainly do not consent to America's dangerous obsession
