Rather than pretending suicide isn't an option, putting it in its rightful last place is helping me manage my emotions. I'm a conscientious objector. If someone gives me a gun and tells me to shoot someone else, I'd rather turn it upon myself than kill another person.

Life sucks. Right now I'm going through a really tough time. So bad that I wanted to Shut Down. But instead I chose to Reboot. Got a plane ticket, flew on Wednesday, and now I'm 10,000 km from the problems and very relieved. I really, really hope that I can find a new job and restart life soon - my savings won't last more than a couple of months. But this is an emergency.

If it doesn't work out, becoming a monk is another possibility to retreat from the world. And if that doesn't work out, then perhaps prison. And extremely dangerous career choices, such as war zone photography. Bad circumstances will drive me to those first, before I'd hurt myself. If you're not afraid of death, you're fearless! You're free! That courage can be used to help people. Please try that first.

For people wanting to help, don't ask "What happened?" - that focuses on the problem. Say "Are you OK?", "What can I do to help you?" if you care about the solution.

It’s entirely possible, even likely, that most doctors prescribe below average amounts.
Please please do not act on those thoughts. Continue on with therapy. Find others who have gone through similar experiences. Find joy in life despite the presence of all the hopelessness. It can be done! I want you to know even if it matters nothing to you I will be praying for you.
Definitely! You'll find Retool supports much more than SQL databases and Django admin supports a tiny subset of Retool use cases. For instance, most companies find that after a certain scale Django admin apps need to be converted to custom code. Retool is designed makes custom code unnecessary at any scale.
One would have thought that the thousands upon thousands of hours of daylight exposure would have already made us all blind if this was actually solid research.
But on the other hand, on modern cars that is not nearly enough to get the car started. As OP pointed out, Simos18 was quite conveniently hacked, but that's far from the only ecu family. And usually they aren't hacked as easly/quickly.
For example, all that Simos18 "easy" hacking can be done once you have IGN ON, if you have IGN ON it's probably easier to just code a new set of keys, than it is to flash new FW on all related and needed computers.

> But if those people can come to the US and make 5x the money, then even if they are making somewhat less than other Americans, they are improving (i.e. raising wages in) the global market for labor that we have to compete in.

I would also add that it's wrong to assume that just because an immigrant was hired for a highly skilled job that automatically means there is a native somewhere with an equivalent skillset and able to do the job as well. It boggles the mind how some people assume that somehow every single top expert in the field happens to live in the same city/state/country where a job opening is published.
Not caring too much about massacring civilians is also a key part of Russia's recipe in Syria. And furthermore it is a little soon to be declaring victory for them there.

What exactly would your strategy have been for a US intervention in Syria? Which local faction would you have supported? Would you have been willing to risk a hot war with Russia and Iran? When get involved in a war you don't get to say at the outset how far you go with it.
I should have included this in my parent comment: this is the argument regarding facebook's activities being anti-competitive; I don't necessarily believe this argument to be true. I really don't have a position on it in either direction at this time.

You mean, each individual member of those teams had their reasons?
Agree with most of what you said except the conclusion.

The reason many engineers unexpectedly suck is because it’s a high paying job where performance is difficult to measure let alone predict.

White boarding interviews are a symptom of the problem, not the cause of it.
It's been just over a year since my last suicide attempt that left me in a coma for under a month and subsequently left me unable to use my legs. It's been a hard journey learning to walk again, and I did my first 20k steps this morning. My left pinky is a little numb, and I'm not sure if it's placebo but some of the feeling is coming back. And I'm excited to get back to playing Holdsworth licks again.

Life is what it is. But I would prefer it if there was an easy and painless means to end one's life. Human right means nothing without the right to die without pain, and with dignity.
Why Is an Insignificant and Small Site Like “Mine” Attacked by Hackers
Commercial solar photovoltaics typically refer to "standard" silicon solar cells which have efficiency around the 15-22% range. The 40% cells in the graphic are for materials systems that are much too expensive to be commercially viable.
Is this approach working at all for their goal? It always sounds rather like they just annoy people they are trying to save, no?
How Blockchain Can Improve Life in Cities While Reducing the Cost of Deliveries
> After seeing some old people have miserable lives during their last few years I think we should give people the option to leave life in diginity if they want to.

In my way of thinking, a person is not "old" until they have lived past their "expiration date". Everyone reaches their expiration date at a different time. One woman told me she immediately thought of her first husband when the idea of people having expiration dates came up: he'd died from getting electrocuted while working on a ceiling fan. At the time they had young kids and losing her husband was traumatic, but retrospectively she realized he actually had very little drive to live.

Both my grandfathers lived past their expiration date, as they were kept alive by artificial means for an extra 5-10 years. But once those pacemakers were installed, it was easier to keep them running than to turn them off.

Conservative care is much kinder for old people than modern medicine. Since doctors don't have to care about cost, it's easy to use any measure to keep their patient alive, even when it's not very appropriate.
Jobs Inside the API
>> What if you consider part of someone's job to be communicating concepts to people, possibly with the help of visual aids and diagrams?

In that case I would recommend reading the candidate's resume beforehand, look for prior experience publishing, presenting, or teaching and ask them about it.
I try to avoid writing bash scripts so I hopefully won't use this, but it looks a very well thought out piece of software. Fantastic readme with rationale and examples for every feature.
> It seems we have run this long enough to prove that, yes, it is possible to run this system without apparent abuse.

Careful extrapolating successes/failures across cultures. Different peoples and different societies are much more amenable to abuse than others. It's less about their innate humanness and more about the societal structures in which they live and justified/unjustified faith (or lack of) in institutions and oversight bodies.
>I wonder what it is you're up to that makes you more of a nation-state target than him

I don't know what it is you're talking about. The entire point of my comment was that I don't like animated gifs. They're distracting, bandwidth intensive, and could be easily replaced by a dozen better image formats.
I didn't get the chance to reboot, it was more like a hard reset. Good luck, friend. :)
Yes (although perhaps not inflation adjusted?).

And Fukushima $150b. So for a large incident the tax payers would carry the cost.
This definitely works from a cost pov. We use a small instance of AWS Aurora which is mostly idle. If we go this route we will need to see how quick the cold-start is and how quick the ACU scaling is. Serverless SQL DB - definitely a nice way to to go.
Fluent Python has a chapter on these methods and I highly recommend it. Also, these are much better described as dunder methods (short for double underscore) than magic methods. There's really no magic to them.
Because historically IPO's were about raising money for the company. It's only recently that the companies going public are so late stage that they don't need any more money.
Light Reflection, which is one of the problem with Solar panel installation in cities areas. You could literally beam light into other buildings windows.

Yes, it’s very likely most of the human pathway out of Africa to Australia would have gone over these kinds of routes.

For instance, Indonesia would have been connected to Australia more or less and so one could cross over land from Southeast Asia to Australia.

The vast majority of people migrating are not doing so for spectacular wages relative to the local market they are coming into.

Average wages for immigrants is lower than the non-immigrant average in almost all societies.

Because we are in high-tech, we think about 'Google' bringing in great talent, which is good ...

But for most, it's not remotely that.

In Canada, in the Oil Sands, they push for migration and the term they use is 'high labour input cost'. Literally high wages.

So yes, in the long term migration can be good depending on a nations actual need and ability to make use of people, but it's about wages and Supply and Demand there.

It's a similar story everywhere. I don't think anyone, even hardcore nationalists are pushing to get rid of bringing in talented people, the numbers are small. And the issue with H1B for example is not so much the nature of it, but that it was kind of being abused by Infosys etc. in the eyes of some.

"Given that wages in India and other places are clearly artificially depressed, or people wouldn't want to come to the US"

No, this is not any kind of 'artificial depression'. India has a fundamentally different economy than the US. Those differences are not artificial.
Well, your son might thank you, too.
Someone has struck a contract for future, on a price.

The price is the highest the energy will cost, for the lifetime of the contract absent force majure.

Why would the owner sign? The contract gives certainty. The contract means the owner can now get funding, they have a guaranteed income stream across the life of the contract.
It's on the way.
One note: Research pretty thoroughly debunks the idea that a substantial percent of opioid as addictions come from prescribed pain treatments: https://www.fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-science-says-t...

Now this article is about something different - teaching doctors the warning signs of when already addicted patients are drug seeking, so they can avoid prescribing then. The key fact here is that almost all of the deceased had gotten prescriptions from multiple doctors.
No. The >40% are "exotic" in some fashion and very expensive compared to what is commercially available. Think of "hero" cells where the best cell from an entire production run is tested or a cell is produced using techniques that are incompatible with mass production. Now, add in tandem (multijunction) on top of that, and you get to >40%.
> I don't understand what the big deal with euthanasia is in more clear-cut cases

Is it avoided/discouraged because it is an irrevocable act.

Many people believe that murderers "deserve" death and yet are reluctant to systemically end the lives of convicts even in "clear cut cases." What if the process, despite it being slow and deliberate and involved still gets it wrong?
I was rockin' a fancy zsh config on my devbox until I started doing more ops work and traipsing around foreign servers. My muscle memory became useless and back to bash it was.
This seems to be a common enough retort in this thread, but it's really just a single person's opinion about themselves that doesn't mean much. You think you're not susceptible, good for you!

The topic of radicalising people via mainstream social media to become nazis or fight for ISIS or whatever gross extremism they're susceptible to has been around for years now and it's pretty much settled that yes, you can radicalise people via these channels.
Sure, China was a bastion of prosperity before even a perverted model of capitalism (please don't call it free market capitalism) was introduced (sarcasm). Beside what makes "democracy" a good thing anyway? Protection of rights has nothing to do with it.
If you are a soldier and find other reasons to fight rather than for the person next to you, then I wonder if you're fit to fight at all.

You know what I'll say? I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand that it's about the men next to you, and that's it. That's all it is.
The comparison is US$23 to US$8.

In Australia, it's US$23 for a pack of 25 cigarettes. Not a carton of 25 packs of cigarettes.
> I think it's more that it's OK to do creepy shit if you're in a clean, brightly lit, sciencey looking place and you have attractive smiling people advertising your expensive services.

I wonder if it is still, though. The spacious, sterile looking, brightly-lit white rooms inhabited by attractive, perfectly dressed and groomed staff have been a synonym to "some sick dystopian shit is going on here" in books and movies for quite some time now.
One can turn it off on a Tesla Model S/X the same way. On the Model 3 it is a different system so not sure how that works.
I guess it’s also an cultural issue. If it’s ok to mute any pain, then not giving opioids is maybe not even considered.

My father had 2 bad operations last year. He suffered a lot of pain afterwards, but he refrained from taking strong drugs. I’m not sure if he did the right thing and if I’d do the same. But there’s is definitely middle ground between killing every pain and enduring all of it.

I found this article interesting: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/27/opinion/sunday/surgery-ge...
I suppose I only use Bash infrequently, but when I do it is normally in an effort to make scripts that I know will run on my various machines for data processing and the like. I am hesitant to use a framework like this (as exciting as it seems) because I fear it would mean managing more dependencies across my different development machines. What are people using Bash for that would require enough complexity that a framework like this becomes a godsend?

Edit: typos.
Let's go with those numbers (which are probably high by an order of magnitude, but let's go with $200/person anyway). That's the value of my info to them.

What about putting a fair value on the services we ostensibly get in return. Worth $200? $200/year? More, less?

And how about putting a value on the financial impact should my data get into the "wrong hands" and I experience something like identity theft?

Without having some idea of the other values we're not really in a position (as individuals) to decide whether this is a fair trade.
You’re right, I should’ve said Ireland, or maybe “in game development” as these kind of stories often seem to originate from there.
> With a mortality rate as low as 66% for a full litter (...)

Is that because of technological limitations, or simply because they don't care if the mother survives?
Most of the instability in the Middle East can be traced directly to the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. Our current strategy is like fighting fire with gasoline, because the people we are fighting have a better understanding of history than we do.

This is a glorious absurdity. I'm seriously wildly impressed. Excellent work!
-One can predict the social ants behaviour spending enough time observing them!

...the US has seemingly been helping ISIS as much as fighting it.

Yeah it's amazing that after all the "moderate rebels" have left (if they ever existed in the first place), and we've kept flooding the area with weapons and ammunition, ISIS
has ended up with lots of USA weapons and ammunition.
According to Wikipedia, it was 17.2% in the US compared with 14.9% in Australia in 2015 [1].

This was based on WHO data published in 2016.

According to the same article, the rate had dropped to under 13% in Australia in 2016. The CDC put the US 2016 rate at 15.5% [2].

I think most of us have this idea that if we don't take a drastic attempt like jumping off a bridge or hanging from a ceiling fan, we aren't suffering enough. In my case, I suppose I was looking for something painless hence a bottle of pills.

Perhaps our biological instinct for survival simply kicks in and whereas many people all throughout history have taken direct/bloody route to an exit, some of us just can't seem to do it.
There's been plenty of concern about that. See the Mehanna case from a few years back. Also, the USG was giving Twitter shit about having terrorist content on their site for years.
Was it in the 70s you went? All European countries now have indoor smoking bans, mostly for a decade or more. Some countries still let you smoke in bars and restaurants, but nowhere allows you to smoke inside a supermarket.
There's a line in one of Terry Pratchett's books where Sam Vimes (commander of the City Watch) muses that what he's doing isn't really secret surveillance because he has to stand back a bit to avoid being deafened by how loudly some guy is yelling his jingoistic crap in a public place.

Gab isn't some stealthy hidden dark-web thing that you can only access from behind seven proxies after a thirty-step initiation process. Same with Alex Jones. Nobody's breaking into their homes and secretly recording statements they'd never ever make in public; these folks are getting up on soapboxes and gleefully shouting at the top of their lungs in the explicit hope that as many people as possible will hear and know about them.

So, yeah, it's 100% fair for people to point to the person standing on a soapbox in the public square who's screaming at the top of his lungs, and say "I don't want to be associated with him, or with anyone who supports him". That's freedom, and the guy doing the screaming has no grounds to try to forbid that; that would be censorship of others' opinions.

Yep, the very high efficiency cells are typically reserved for highly specialized areas where cost doesn’t matter.. You’ll see Boeing’s name a lot near the top of the efficiency list for the exotic cell types, their lab’s website should clue everyone in to what their main purpose is: https://www.spectrolab.com

They list 31% efficiencies for their cells that can fly today which must be near the limit of commercialization / certification. Still pretty good though, that’s 50% more efficient than a standard panel, and at several $10s of thousands per kg into space, clearly worth it!

According to the datasheet, this is by design:

"The mechanism for initiating execution of this alternate set of instructions is as follows:
1. Set the FCR ALTINST bit to 1 using WRMSR instruction (this is a privileged instruction). This
should be done using a read-modify-write sequence to preserve the values of other FCR bits.
2. The ALTINST bit enables execution of a new x86 jump instruction that starts execution of alternate
instructions. This new jump instruction can be executed from any privilege level at any time
that ALTINST is 1."

So to turn on the ability to execute ring-0 non-x86 instructions from ring 3, requires an initial privileged instruction. I believe (from other commenters) that the issue arises because some of the cpu's left the fab with ALTINST set to 1 by default. Meaning, no privileged instruction required. Clearly, that's a fuck-up somewhere.
