I run a little design agency (www.beaver.digital) where I do all the design and coding. I didn't study design (or coding for that matter), but over the last year or two I went from novice to advanced pretty quick.

I don't know what the precise rules of thumb are, but I usually start by creating the layout + content in illustrator, which would be akin to making any other type of art. Once you have the illustrator file, writing the code is actually the easy part. It's taxing, but the creative work involved in creating the actual illustrator file is always much more difficult (at least for me).

To your point, I've thought about sharing the actual process in more detail if people expressed interest. I've had a few friends and family members ask, but maybe I'll drum up some lessons someday if I'm convinced anyone might watch them :)
It has drawback, and you can't do it in an unfair way. It works fine for us. It isn't hard to get out of the band. The criteria are reasonably objective and people move upward with ease when they demonstrate capability / qualification. It is far more transparent than not disclosing the information.
> It’s worth noting that this is a voulenteer program and that for every day you work you get 1 day off your sentence. So you can effectively halve your time in prison.

Interesting. You could conceivably rationalize that as being equivalent to a fair wage--every day you work gets you one extra day closer to getting out and starting a real job.

Of course that still ignores the obvious problem of how hard it is for a broke ex-con to find work. But it's better than nothing, I guess.
You’re really reaching here. Who’s to say I have the skills to do that? Where do I get the basic supplies to do so, without working for money? And on whose land do I do it? What do I do when I need medical care? What if I already have a chronic illness that needs periodic attention (as, in fact, I do.) You’re telling me that going off into the woods to die is a viable alternative to working a job for money to live in an apartment and be able to go to doctors?

My point is that I have no choice other than to do something someone else will pay me to do. You haven’t addressed the argument; you are begging the question. “Work or die” sounds a lot like slavery to me.

Please reply again when you have a good faith argument.

I have a requirement for credit facilities on a global basis and I haven't found anyone close to what bitbond [0] has offered. They are based in germany and would much rather deal with a US based company.

Plus the architecture improvements. Do we know how many cores per SM? They’ve decoupled int and FP execution units which could give larger increases for certain kernels (although FP heavy deep learning kernels aren’t likely to benefit as much, they will still get address calculation benefits).
I can't stop myself thinking that this looks like short seller's propaganda. Producing a new car require adjustments in the process. This info tells me the feedback loop is in full swing to enhance production quality. I fully understand why Elon Musk wants to make Tesla a private company again.

Short seller's activity is toxic for the US industry. Allowing to make profit on other peoples failure is a good recipe to pull down an economy. Good luck with that.
What about "Get Programming with Haskell"[0] from Manning. Is it any good?

You couldn't be more wrong.

The supreme court could reinterpret this, and require forced labor to be a part of the sentence, not just allowed to be used against anyone in prison.

Precedent changes over time. This idea that the current interpretation of the Constitution is immutable is defeatist and foolish.
There are a lot of rules and regulations which do not apply to prisoners. Likewise there are a lot of rules and regulations which only apply to prisoners.

It’s not unreasonable to treat prisoners as a unique population / special case. They are not incarcerated so that they can continue gainful employment.

Prisoners should not be getting paid to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. to help operate the prison, for example.

My understanding was jobs that provided for options to work outside the prison (like cleaning up roadside garbage) were coveted chances to get outside and maybe earn some time off for community service.

Court ordered community service can also be a reasonable punishment instead of incarceration.

Seriously. Verizon could have gotten some positive PR too.
The problem is if this were regulated or changed in some way, it would take only one or two instances of an ex-convict firefighter harming or killing someone before a very high number of people start demanding a return to a zero-tolerance convict hiring policy.

It's often a CYA and public perception issue: org X receives application from convict, considers fallout if convict does something bad, realizes it'll become a PR nightmare and that they'll be torn to shreds for permitting the hire. The risk is never outweighed by the benefit, in their eyes.
You're just restating points from the Vanity Fair article, which was sourced almost exclusively from the dossier. In reality, "ruggedized" is a fairly common DOD term for battlefield IT. The 32g RAM is mostly arbitrary and others, including Microsoft can deliver it. The single provider solution makes sense when you're trying to centralize a fragmented cloud environment.
But even if the graphs are mislabeled, the numbers don't agree with the statement. The 2010 data for prevalence of obese men shows an increase from 27% to 29%... without error bars given. In what world does that translate to "over 4 times more likely to be classified as morbidly obese"?
I believe that in Poland you cannot get a normal programmer's job after studies at universities. New programmers have such big lacks of knowledge that it cost really great amount of money and time to employers to teach them how to code properly.
I started teaching people C++ in January 2018. I choose only those, who have basics of programming. I do not teach from scratch, because there are many such companies. I teach programmers tools (git, make, cmake, vim), scrum, exceptions, objective C++, STL, memory management, testing and TDD, Modern C++ (C++11/14/17), good programming practices, templates, recruitment tips.
After the second edition of my course, I started earning over 8k PLN/month, which is over 2k USD/month. I spend only about 10h a week on teaching and running my business as a side project.
I teach in Wroclaw, Poland. From the next year, I plan to make it a full-time job (it means 20h a week for me ;)) and prepare some good online courses.

I read about 30-40 books a year but I am the same as you, I don't have the time or patience to cut out a slice dedicated to staring at a page.

Can I recommend you try an audio book? I have found that most of the time I do chores, like dishes, fixing stuff around the place, the treadmill or even the shower can be quite enjoyable when listening to an audio book.

Any automatic mundane task which you are already expending time on can easily be overlaid with audio.

A fun example is that I am listening to "Countdown to Day Zero: Stuxnet" which was recommended here! I ended up enjoying the book for an hour, and at the end of it, the kitchen was spotless.

This got me interested into what it takes to become lineman. For Canada, it's:
- extended driver's license requirements
- some high school requirements (graduate, math and sciences)
- physically fit year-round
- pre-apprenticeship program
- 3 year apprenticeship program, $30 pay
- standard trade rate is $40

You probably get good benefits and disability securities, and overtime pay. But it means working in dangerous, frequently laborious, conditions, working away from home all over the province/country, and working frequent overtime. Makes me scratch my head when the people holding the infrastructure together get compensated so little.

> What Russia is trying to do is ensure it has a strategic buffer zone between it and the West and friendly rulers and states on its borders, much like any state with Russia's military history would be interested in doing. Combined Russian/Soviet casualties in WW1 and WW2 were on the order of ~60mm people out ~160mm total.

Actually, Soviet Union started WW2 together with Nazi Germany by signing Molotov–Ribbentrop pact [1] and annexing Estonia [2], Finland [3], Latvia [2], Lithuania [2], Poland [4] and Romania [5]. Quite a nice buffer zone there.

So now Russia (legal successor to the USSR) is considered a victim of WW2 and is afraid of invasion from the very same countries it has annexed by force before?

One thing I don't like about homeworks is the useless things they ask sometimes. For example, I had to sort a table after all the columns in the table. Guess what? if I can sort it after one column, I know how to sort it after any other column. It just showed that they didn't care about my time.
Could it be possible that financially well-off people feel less stigma about suicide because the people they leave behind would not be affected as negatively as if they were poor?

For example, a poor inner-city parent committing suicide would leave behind children in danger of falling into poverty. But a wealthy parent would know their children could be "all right" living off of the insurance and inherited wealth from the parent.

Money is a tool, nothing more (ideologically). Calling on ideology to restrict potentially helpful uses of a tool is a dangerous path to tread.

No matter what crime someone's committed, they're still a person, and if our goal is more productive members of society, cutting people off from the main tool for goods exchange will not move us toward that goal.
They certainly did not. Please provide the # of the indictment or a specific source.

You are telling us you have an intuition that there are more dangers than meet the eye. That’s a valid intuition.

But mostly I don't understand why would the borrower should have its say on who he owns the money to. As far as the borrower is concerned he got some money and must pay it back with interest. What does it change that the payment goes to institution x or y?

I don't have much sympathy for people who borrow money to then find some loophole to swindle their way out of their debt. They succeeded? Good for them! Proud to be dishonest. Let the other borrowers pay for you through higher margins.
> While fire department personnel thought they were already paying for "truly" unlimited data, Verizon said they weren't.

Despite the overarching issues here, what culpability is there when these public safety services who build reliance on these private companies don't do due diligence on what they use? We can all pull on heartstrings, say this customer is special after the fact, bemoan that both Verizon and the fire department have red tape making it a slower-than-necessary process, etc.

As a customer, I empathize with the fire department because it isn't always clear to us what unlimited is. But in this environment, while Verizon has fault here as does the general system, these public services need to do a bit more to ensure they are getting what they expect. Net neutrality isn't going to fix the "unlimited" wording issues or throttling as much as we'd like it to. That needs fixing sure, but in the meantime these public services need to get together and share info/plans/etc.

To the bigger problem...well, that's a different deal and not specific to this anecdote.
It is not Verizon's problem if the government signed up for the wrong sized plan. It is not Verizon's problem if the government did not shop around for the best deal.

It is Verizon's problem if the case can be made that $8/GB is gouging. However $10/GB is a very common price among contractless carriers such as Tracfone and Google, so $8/GBis certainly in the ballpark.

Does not offering a bulk discount equate to gouging? IDK.
Agree with the second. Making money in stocks is not just what to invest in, but when.

If you bought FB in the beginning of July just after a hedge fund reported it (but they actually bought in April and sold in July) that would have been bad for you.
Wouldn't net neutrality preclude them from receiving special treatment? If there's an exception for emergency services it's not neutrality.
There are definitely ways to restrict what folks spend on and who they send money to.

One of the easiest ways would be to set up a normal, non-interest earnings savings account with no cash on site. For personal use items, simply require they all come from the prison roster of stuff, and have a selection. Allow folks to send to limited family members: Parents, spouses, and domestic partners would get it if they lived together and had help from the person before the crime. Underage children could get it automatically (and probably should get it if the person had parental rights or child support to pay). Again, there would be no cash and reasonable limits on things from the commissary.

Everything else can be saved so that folks have a good start when they get out.

As far as bribing corrections officers: I'd honestly say part of the answer to this would be to train folks well (more than 2 months of training), pay them well enough to get good candidates, and make sure to keep the prison's well-staffed without relying on overtime. This is a hurdle, though, as most of the places will say they can't afford it.
If they’re not being paid and the work they’re doing is not helping them to get a job afterwards, then they have every right to protest. In theory at least, they are supposed to be working towards rehabilitation, but it’s turning out to be slave labor in practice.

I read LYAH and enjoyed it. But I did play around with Haskell a lot at the same time.

In addition, the IRC channel was immensely helpful along the way.

Nowadays I just use haskell for a few things at work or for toy projects, and the initial steps were taken with LYAH. (Beginner level though and I think I learned more from irc than the book in the end)

One of my older ideas I never developed was Holdmaster, a device to plug in between phone and analog phone line. When someone puts you on hold, you push the Holdmaster button. It mutes the call and takes over listening. It says, over and over, "Waiting for your response. Press 1 to continue." When someone finally sends a 1 touch-tone, it rings your phone, and you proceed to talk.
Ever notice how working dogs usually aren't as neurotic as pet dogs? I've never met a well-mannered Pomeranian, but even if you get a dog of a stalwart herding breed and leave it idle, it's going to go nuts and run around nipping at little kids and tearing up your house.

That's the hell of the rural farming and working class in America today. Proponents of UBI and the like assume that, if they're freed from the burden of pulling their own weight economically, people will move on to "higher pursuits" like art and philosophy and the like. I think there's a clear upper-middle-class bias in these discussions where people genuinely don't understand that other types of work can still provide meaning and purpose and fulfillment to people.

Personally I'd accept an anthropocentric view that takes humanity's importance as an unexamined premise and rates other species as "useful" to the extent that they positively affect humans (whether directly or indirectly).
