This problem is not new, but arguably getting worse. So much capital out there, in the hands of so few people, and they have no idea how to deploy it productively. Their trillions could be used to start whole industries, build critical infrastructure, and pull millions out of joblessness. Instead, they unimaginarively loan it to the government or a bank for a negative real return.

The rich of the past built the modern world. Today’s rich seem to just sit on their wealth while inflation and missed opportunity erode all the value away.

Sitting in a wasteland sipping on nutrient sludge sounds very depressing. Yes, your body may continue functioning, but I would hesitate to call that "living".
First, I don't think he meant they expect you to know all of these - just a subset.

Second, most people I know who know R or Pandas or other Python numerical stuff (NumPy/SciPy) are horrible programmers. They're good at numerical work - but that doesn't translate to good coding skills. The bar is not that high to know it.

It's somewhat similar with AWS/Hadoop. Most people I know have taken learn these (online training, in person classes, etc) with very basic SW skills.

I don't doubt expert programmers exist who know these technologies - I'm just pointing out that it's not that hard to learn some of these. Plenty of people learn these without knowing much SW. To be a good SW developer takes a lot more.

>If you expect that on a 120k salary, you will be what you pay for, e.g. a code monkey living on peanuts.

You must be in the Bay Area. A 120K salary is above the median for SW developers for most of the country, and grants them a great lifestyle: Big house, two cars, vacation travel, etc. Hardly "living on peanuts".

The GP was clear he was not talking about the Bay area:

>If you fit that bill you can probably get a role paying $95-120k just about anywhere in the US.

Finally, the point is: If you studied actual Machine Learning, he is pointing out that these jobs are mostly not that, and you will just do a boring job.

How much would people pay for a Mars bar that was produced on planet Mars?
Photographers like their lighting to be as close to natural as possible for best pictures. They can tell the effect when taking pictures, they have measuring tools to understand the light before taking pictures, and they have equipment (bulbs, panels, etc) made to satisfy their use cases which they can actually evaluate for quality.

Light quality is generally measured in CRI (color rendering index), with 100 being sunlight. Best professional photo lights give you up to 97 CRI. I don't know how closely CRI reflects the biological effect of the sun light, but we sort of can judge it by proxy - CRI reflects photography requirements, which correlates with closeness to sun light spectrum, which correlates with biologically positive effects. Even being a proxy, this measuring ability is still vastly better anything we have for the "health" light which you can't really measure except in a control group study which none of us can do.

In practice I suggest going to Amazon and shopping for high-CRI lights, such as photography LED panels, about $100-$200 a pop. They're not big enough to light up a room, but they can light up your desk or maybe cubicle. I bought a few and the light is very, very pleasant. Alternatively shop for high-CRI CFL lights to replace the ceiling lights, those can light up the room. I haven't tried that yet though.

It might also be useful to buy a CRI meter so that you know where you stand. Expensive as they are, might be still worth it considering the benefits. Also maybe pool money with friends on this - you're not going to use it a whole lot.

"RESEARCH MANAGER, ORACLE" (per your profile and resume). Employees at big corps defending big corps. What a shocker. Also, a difference of opinion wouldn't explain a unilateral defending of corporations.
Greed motivates all kinds of behavior. On one hand, people who work for large corporations and don't want to lose their unvested stock awards. On the other hand, some people are envious of the big money in tech. In both cases, they'll rationalize what they think is good for the market accordingly.
That's not how it actually works, the parent is flat out wrong. Defaulting on loans from China doesn't happen in a vacuum.

If the African nation in question defaults on big loans to China, their economy is going down. Millions of people will be severely harmed, possibly for decades. It's not just China that loses some money. To say nothing of the fact that China often requires repayment in physical assets of the country (such as taking physical ownership of a port for their own use, or oil, or cocoa), they don't just walk away if they're not getting cash repayments.

First the country straps itself trying to repay China. That means they start missing payments on other smaller debts, they start squeezing the funding of their welfare systems and basic government functions. Everyone begins to suffer.

Redirected government funding - which they can't afford to redirect - begins to harm the economy. Their credit rating gets downgraded, nobody will lend to them at this point. Only China is left, and they want harsher terms now, more of the national resources (see: the Venezuela model). Their currency tanks, inflation skyrockets, the people suffer immensely. The economy goes into perma recession, no foreign capital trusts the situation, investment plunges.

Cycle and repeat the downward spiral, until you reach a point of social catastrophy.
> In 2016, The Associated Press showed that candy makers funded a study showing that kids who eat candy weigh less than those who don’t.

I don't understand how that level of absurdity can be offered up without assuming we'd be skeptical. I can see "kids who eat candy don't gain any more weight" as being a possibility, but thinner? What hubris.

I am not sure if that'll be the case. The Multi Account Container (https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers) seems like it's dead. No new commits since end of March and according to https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/3..., it's only going to get bug fixes and maintenance patches. No new development.

I have a feeling that they are relying on extension developers to add features/functionality.
Speaking from my own position as a person who owns a console and does not play games on PC (unless they work on OSX, which is rare). I haven't seen much Xbox/Playstation fanboyism... I don't doubt it exists in some sect, but it can't be as pronounced as say: google advocacy.

There is a more general backlash against the "console peasant" statement though, because, speaking personally; I don't like being insulted just because I refuse to waste an x86 on Windows.
I find it quite interesting as technically speaking both IT and data science are technical. Pardon the pun.

The real value of data science teams comes from great infrastructure in addition to a solid team so it is a bit of a pity sometimes.

I think it's unhelpful to assert things like that when we don't have enough information for making definitive statements. Perhaps they do have some genuine and serious issues? We can't know just from the description given. If they do then acting like they don't isn't very helpful.
That may be true in a literal sense but misses the far more important corollary: low hanging fruit in consumer technology often drives progress in harder domains. Military and academic investment in telecommunications and transistors may have given birth to Silicon Valley and IT as we know it today, but it was massive investment to feed consumer demand that really made harder scientific and engineering problems tractable.

The drive for better graphics in gaming fundamentally changed the face of bioinformatics and genetics, finite element analysis and by extension, almost every subfield of mechanical and civil engineering, and many others. The logistics and transportation industries have gone through a quiet technological revolution every decade as economies of scale drove the cost of computers, GPS, and other embedded electronics to the floor. The demand for laptops, mobile phones, and tablets with ever more complex apps and games is responsible for at least a 5-10x change in productivity for my EE and firmware work over the last decade as the sheer scale of work on consumer electronics around the globe drives down the cost of parts and services right as the hardware world is beginning to learn about the benefits of open source.
There are already grants and proposals for similar research. This competition targets two groups that aren't well-represented by that process:

1. Individuals (hobbyists) who will work for free in hopes of winning.

2. Well-funded academics and industry R&D who will bill their costs against their employers, who hope to profit from the publicity generated by the public contest.
Yes, but you are describing how a lisp programmer would expect things to work. As my comment was saying, I was exploring whether a verbatim translation of C syntax works as sexeps, and where it fails.

I would argue that your sterile Earth is unliveable for the same reason a 6x8 cell with no windows is unliveable. The basic conditions for living are not the same as the basic conditions for life.

By that, I mean that food and air are necessary for life but can we really call that living if that is all we have? Our natural environment contains a rich diversity of species and life forms that have evolved over billions of years. If you think sterile environments are enough, how do you explain why people routinely travel to the outdoors and to the backcountry?

I think it's foolhardy to ignore these facts when you consider whether climate change has a negative impact on us. And it's especially foolhardy to dismiss the effect nature has on humanity given the volumes of evidence to the contrary.
Except (at least in the U.S.) the field of political opinion is rotated 90 degrees. It should be Fascists vs Libertarians, but instead Republicans take the social side of Fascism and fiscal side of Libertatianism, and vice versa for Democrats. So IMO neither party takes a logical position.

Often at far less efficiency but yes I agree, given that, at least in the US, their mission statement is "make things nicer for the citizens."

I saw Reuters on Twitter today say "the social responsibility of a company is to increase profits" so quite a different MO if you buy that.
I'm not sure I understand this. You can't skip finding product/market fit. No matter how much money you have, if you have no product/market fit you're toast. If you're not desperate to find product/market fit (as Lean startups are) because you have tons of money -- you may never find it.

To me, Lean startup is not about money. It's about building the most efficient process of finding product/market fit. Once you've found something that really works, then it's time to look for big money and scale up. In most cases, what you need in the beginning is $50K-500K which can come from savings/FFF/consulting/seed round.

Too much money in the world now. A result of the decade of near-zero interest rates.

"Don't listen to music while doing creative work. Use noise, like sounds of the sea (I use an app called "Naturespace" for high-quality audio)."

This simply doesn't work for me. I understand it probably works for you: We are all a bit different. I find much of the "noise" (rain, seascapes, and so on) grating and annoying to the point that I don't want to finish anything creative. (I don't mind the real thing: I enjoy falling asleep when it is raining outside, for example, or hearing birds singing).

I'm also easily distracted by small sounds. A "quiet" library is full of shuffling, people dropping things, whispers, and so on.

However, drawing and painting to music of my choosing? Absolutely fantastic. I tend to choose things that are either instrumental or that actually use lyrics as part of the music instead of the music highlighting the lyrics. I'll even pick music depending on how I want to move when I draw or paint. If I want to create ideas or think? Stick on headphones and tune the world out. Perhaps go for a walk while doing so.

I tune in and out of the music, and that's fine. It tunes out basic noises: car and apartment doors and so on.
The flip side of this is that there's a contingent of Europeans who look down their noses as Americans, while having basically no comprehension of how utterly ridiculous it is to do something like compare the United States to Switzerland on any metric.

Seconded. A 250cc bike will still give you more acceleration than almost any car, will cost 1/10th the price, and limit the accident-causing potential of goosing the throttle.

I agree with this and would add that science (by which I mean areas of knowledge observing phenomena and seeking to describe them quantitatively) interacts with deductive logic (including math) via information theory. Science without modeling would be devoid of predictive power.

And, personally, I've never heard ethics or logic described as sciences. Please correct me if this is common terminology. But of course it doesn't diminish their importance.

Sweden has the 4th highest internet usage in the world, the 5th highest mobile broadband usage in the world, and the second fastest average internet speeds. So, you may not be the best comparison either.

In Wyoming, USA, the population density is 2.31/km2. But 100% of the people can get at least 10Mbps internet, 79% have >25Mbps internet. But again, big states, bigger country, and due to both governmental differences, differences in internet providers, and the different costs of providing service in different regions, we don't spread the cost of service out evenly.

It looks really easy when you're looking at the problem from 40,000 feet. On the ground, it's much more complicated.

I don't get the deal with tethering here, either, but I think there are probably reasons for it. If any provider here just threw tethering in for free, while undercutting the cost of the competitors, people would flock to them. The fact that this doesn't happen means it's probably hard to make money on it, for reasons unknown.

"Then I’m just the whiny asshole or primadonna or something."

The way you approach doing this goes a long, long way toward how you're perceived.

"It’s not possible to have these preferences treated in an adult way in modern corporations, and anyone the issue got escalated to will just see it as whining."

I imagine you think this is the case because you see others asking for similar types of things as also being "whining". All you have to do is ask politely and calmly, and things should be fine. You might not get your way, but asking for something isn't automatically seen as "whining" by most people.

I also tired of GoFundMe rather early. Every sap with a sob story had a GoFundMe. Now, some I feel true compassion for: funeral expenses, medical expenses, and the like.

But then I started seeing some that were like "Eh. Whatever". Stuff like "I need to buy my college books" or something where it's like "Yeah, you kinda need that, not really an emergency, but if you don't have the money and are trying to avoid credit, yeah, whatever".

Then the ones that are just blatant begging. "Hey, I want to go on vacation". "Hey, I want to move back home". "Hey, I want to be a streamer and I need all this equipment". Fucking sorry, mate. If I had $5 to pitch in for any of that, I'd pitch it into the "I'm gonna do that shit" fund before yours. I understand you need to live your best life, but not at my expense. Sad thing is that people I know have engaged in these.

And of course, just blatant fraud.
