A fair counterpoint, but if the methodology creates results that do not reflect market reality, it’s arguably not fit for purpose. I do think that much of that can be mitigated with more sensible “region” factors, but that would greatly increase the complexity of the process. Setting remuneration fairly is a hard problem, but this is arguably not a great solution either.

And what the use of a noisy channel if it may changes bits sent over it? ;)

You just need to have proper error correction. You are right - of course - if QM is completely noisy, or you can't have proper error correction (due to some physical limitation for example).

E.g. for quatum computation some people believes so: https://www.quantamagazine.org/gil-kalais-argument-against-q...

There was a Canadian VC that was banned for life at the US boarder for investing in a US cannabis company. Wonder if these guys will have problems.
Thanks for your comment, very interesting!

That being said, when you say that no-parenthesis are the least important feature of templated strings, they seem to be mandatory for "deconstructing" them via function arguments:

const bar = "bar"
f = (s, ...v) => console.log(s, v);
f(`foo ${bar} baz`); // => foo bar baz ; []
f`foo ${bar} baz`; // => ["foo ", " baz"] ; ["bar"]

So it's not so much that "you can call functions without parents in some cases" or "they're not that nuts of a feature", rather than "if you want to deconstruct templated strings, you must call your function without parenthesis"

Which means that sometimes, there's just no other way around.

> Many suppliers demand 0 day terms now: You pay with a credit card or wire upfront, often before service or goods are even provided. Certainly for everything under a few thousand dollars, and often even for five digit purchases. Yes, even large companies.

I'm not necessarily defending it, but it just seems to be how the world works. I've been on this side of things as both a freelancer and as an employee of small companies invoicing bigger ones. Maybe if the product is physical, like semiconductors, things are different?

My experience was with lots of 5-6 digit software engineering work. Sometimes there was up front NRE payment, but negotiating payment milestones were typically part of the sales team. I've never heard of or seen a 0 day B2B contract. It was never my department to question the way the contracts were structured, but it just seemed to be how B2B was done. I'd tell finance whenever I made a deliverable so they could invoice.

A big offender of not paying timely (on NET 30/60) was the government themselves from what I saw. So it's not just like this is something some shady businesses are doing.

At the end of the day, isn't salaried work often NET 30 or NET 15? I've never heard of being paid more often than bi-weekly.

I'm curious what your concern with Google building this 'shadow profile' is if you're not worried about this data being leaked to a malicious actor - Is Google simply having this data a bad thing, and if so, why?
I was not aware of the links you shared pointing out the inconsistencies. I wonder how the authors themselves respond about these reddit posts (if at all?). Thank you for sharing!

Despite that, it does have some implementations that made it stick out for me across all other languages, such as the fit / transform / predict API spread across the library, and the useage of joblib as back-end for speedup - this allows their models to be easily scaleable on clusters with the use of Dask.

I still have confidence that their most used functions (e.g. RandomForest) and models are still correctly implemented and provide great value in that regard.

Vicuna (except from Argentina) is still CITES Annex II, which means that the export and re-export of the animal or any derivative must have a CITES certificate[1]. The Argentina vicuna is marked as Annex I (commercial export prohibited).

If the CITES DB is updated (no idea, sorry - and there's no data for 2018), in 2017 very few such trades were actually recorded[2].

I visited Peru a few years ago and there the vicuna products (retail) were accompanied by a certificate needed to get the products through customs.

By the time you're in college/graduate school, surely you have a rough understanding of how much "content" fits into 800 words?

(As compared to 1500 or 4000 words.)
A heuristic I use that is very accurate for me is whether or not I can easily step away from what I'm doing (for a break, or just to finish the day) or do I feel a compulsion to keep going. If stepping away is difficult, I'm definitely in a "death spiral". At this point I can be sure that my productivity is already low, and it will just get worse. It's a burnout; a feeling that your problem-solving apparatus has overheated; severe tunnel vision coupled with impatience. It's weird that it produces such a drive to continue.

So when you pose the question, whether to push or take a step back, in my experience, it's better to pick clarity over aggressive pushing. It's subjective though. While I think there are overarching principles, I also think that different people react to these situations at least a bit differently.

To say a few words about confusion when confronting something you don't fully understand, I think the more confusion you can take, the better. Ideally confusion should be second nature to us, too often we jump to something prematurely just to escape it. When you think about it, we never fully understand all the things at play. It's about not being paralyzed by that.
As a now-more-active user of Gitlab (cf. my other comment in this post): I think you should prioritize cleaning up your project management tooling UI.

The project sidebar is a mess. Full of stuff most projects most likely don't use (I bet the "Operations" and "Registry" sections are used by <1% of projects).

Stuff that is conceptually duplicated. And also there's yet another "Settings" sub-section.

If I want to configure CI for example I have to switch between https://gitlab.com/$project/settings/ci_cd and https://gitlab.com/$project/pipelines - confusing what's where.

The CI UI could use some reorganization as well. It still takes me several clicks to get to the current running build log from the project homepage.

Your UI has improved a lot since the old days. I'm glad you found the right balance between "carbon-copying github" and "having your own completely unique identity". I hope you can focus more on UI and UX though. Especially with a featureset the size of Gitlab, retaining a good UI becomes harder, even more so as the ways people use your product differ more and more.

I know it is a lot more work, but we have been able to do content that scales for a while.

> I'm totally OK with the concept of phones ignoring all privacy concepts (within reason) once 911 is typed in.

Some people may have good reasons for wanting to make anonymous 911 calls, and may avoid calling 911 if their identity could be revealed.

For example, if I see someone get shot by a street gang and want to call an ambulance, but fear retribution from the gang if they ever find out I helped the victim, I may decide that calling 911 is too risky. Or, I might be in the country illegally, and may not want to interact with the authorities as a witness to a crime.

Google and the phone carrier should let people make their own privacy decisions, not decide for them.

I think this program is dumb and I don't support implementing it. We could easily make our lives worse by implementing various hypervigilant safety measures: no sugary drinks, no distilled alcoholic beverages, no showers without handrails, no pit bulls, and so on. Most people won't vote for such programs because they don't want to live that way. Life is inherently risky, and re-evaluating every activity in terms of someone's right to avoid a tiny probability of accidental death in order to foist a utilitarian orthodoxy on the public is a stupid fad that needs to die. People already voted against Jimmy Carter's lower-all-the-speed-limits programs in the '70s, there's no reason to revive that losing culture war.

The assistants giving ArcGIS lessons all used QGIS (with PostGIS and Python) for their real research projects.

Puts and calls are the two types of options contracts. They are created and trade in a range around the current price.

I concur that it's unlikely that time ever really existed, at least in the US.

After all, the internet came directly from the Department of Defense funded ARPANET. Before that, computers were so expensive and large that realistically only governments or large companies could fund even routine work with them.

I suppose all that's changed is now the average human is on the internet. I mean that literally, since it seems that we are about to cross the threshold of 50% of humanity using the internet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage).

So the things governments wish to do on the internet are more and in line with things that involve the population at large. For better or worse (mostly the latter, IMO) that involves lots of intelligence gathering, copyright enforcement, and national security work.

The inaccuracy persists, e.g. in your comment - "the wave" I can image along literal hand waving. I'm being cynic because this polarization filter experiment had me dumbfounded.

Blocking the way between the second and third filter will show no light, as if the third filter wasn't there. It appears as if there is a wave but polarized in a way that doesn't reflect from the hand and the third filter would polarize it again. I believe that's also what you are saying. Only, what is "the wave"?

> the quality of the product. "Good enough" is never actually good enough for me

I hear you loud and clear. One way to get a higher standard of quality may be to switch industries. In aviation, where bugs can cost lives, there tends to be a higher standard. You may still find the bar of your co-workers isn't as high as yours, but it will definitely be higher than at a consumer-products or web-facing company. I know, I've interviewed at a few of those and turned down follow-up interviews and offers because they don't care enough about quality to do QA.

I'm a potential user/customer. I support two small scale websites that give my two business a presence on the web. By 2013 I guess I started to feel too anxious when accessing Google Analytics because the service was getting bigger and bigger. I could not see its "UI boundaries" anymore, and with that I got the impression I was leaving useful views/analysis behind. Unfortunately I am the kind of user who needs somebody to provide a set of pre-built views/analysis I could make sense of. I don't have the time to rationalize on what I need at various levels and then build the views.

With that said, a minimalist approach to web analytics is attractive to me, specially if I can see its "boundaries", the set of reports etc.

The argument on privacy (or lack of it) has no impact on my perception about this service's value proposition.

There's serious room for improvement in the salary calculator, calculator to account for growing metro areas, and I think most of this comes from trying to rely on numbeo for your rent indexes. Eg. Why in the world doesn't Portland OR have its own rent index vs rest of OR?
The 'Hot Markets' adjustment should also take a wider account for cities / towns / suburbs that are probably also booming. For example, I'm in the PDX metro area, but on the WA side of the river. My housing costs have gone up 41% to 2.5 years thanks to the booming housing market here, but the current gitlab calculation doesn't account for it thanks to the combined factor of being in the metro area but not in the right city/state, combined with the fact that the big growing metro area doesn't have it's own rent index.
Of course, this could be smoothed over and fixed as part of the hiring process, but it would be nice to know up front that you were using up to date data in your attempts to pay market rate salaries.
