> I wonder if these these areas have simply become way more valuable than they used to be.

It will self correct once companies realize that by using middle managers with a modicum of domain expertise enables people to work remotely and not have to be at work for 8 hours just so their managers can visually check their presence for the contractually agreed amount of time.

Give it 500 years.
The key thing that self studiers don’t realize is that you don’t know what you don’t know. And frequently those things are very subtle but build up over time. Luckily with the internet, any motivated student can find great teachers to help them.
That's a very complicated situation. People, especially when young, have incredible freedom and really don't need much at all to survive. As they get older, 95% of the responsibilities they take on is their own doing.

That's not a judgement on what they choose, but many times the "lack of privilege" is really they because they made different choices.
A layperson here, I always wanted to ask this question: Godel proves that not ALL statements that are true can be proven, because here is this one example. I get it, it's a valid mathematical proof. But does it really say anything about other statements, except this one? Does it says anything about statements that are not self-referential? Is it possible that the incompleteness theorem really applies only to self-referential statements and says nothing about non-self-referential statements?
This seems interesting, but highly unlikely. I can't see foldable phones with the current technology.

You can do this if you group all site visits into one common WARC and compress it (or dedup it otherwise).

WARC itself does have a method of dedup if the response is the same (or mostly the same) but terrible if content changes.

He said he paid $6k, and that he considers the money well spent. It seems weird that he would pay $100k and then claim to have paid $6k.
I’m using it, it’s a beautiful app and the guys building it seem to know a lot about what they do. It’s also an app purely focused on taking pictures, there are no filters and instead they just provide an easy way to hand things over to Darkroom app.

I usually use it when I think I want to edit the photo later on and want to grab a RAW file.
I think this story does an injustice by calling him an 'engineer'. He cofounded Speedera Networks, which was acquired for $130m by Akamai after a 3-year patent battle, a battle he was on the front-line of and learnt a lot about patent infringement. Yes, he's an engineer, but he's also an engineer who knows more than the average engineer about patents and complex legal argumentation.

I live in US, so yes, I'm well aware of the specifics. But also, "America is different" is a fairly used excuse by now, and frankly, I don't think it really is as different as Americans like to think it is. That "spread apart" thing and culture designed around driving is not unique, either.

All the issues you describe are, again, issues with a specific implementation. Voting day can (and should) be moved to a weekend. Government-issued IDs should be free and easy - I would even say automatic - to get. And so on, and so forth.

Voter ID does not have to make voting hard. I would not support any proposal that would do so (which is to say, any that I've seen pushed in US to date). However, I cannot in good faith support a principled opposition to voter ID as such.
And - speaking as a card-carrying member of the party - I believe that Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by continually misrepresenting the core idea as racist etc. They should instead come up with a comprehensive voting reform proposal that would tackle all these issues - election security (including ID), voter registration, election day timing etc. And put it on the table with great fanfare. Then let Republicans explain why they're still opposed to it.
I wrote this solution the first time as an answer to a question on Stack Overflow.

The Ars article omitted an important background note about the guy, that he sold a company for $120M at one point, and that it was "cheaply" because he was forced to do so by a lost patent dispute:

If this were a movie we could just attach a bomb to him that's set off if any witnesses die.

But seriously at some point I find myself asking why we must have a trial with witnesses. If you have so much accrued evidence that you know these steps are necessary to protect witnesses that should be sufficient to give you life in prison/death penalty.

Which is kind of gross, but if someone has clearly so much disregard for the law, why should they get to abuse it?
There are approximately 35 million millionaires on Earth.
Elsewhere it's mentioned that Swildens was on the receiving end of a 3 year battle over patent infringement, where he was a founder and so intimately involved. After an apprenticeship like that it would be unsurprising if he could emulate a team of lawyers.

Getting up early - before you’ve had a full sleep window - is a sign of idiocy, not discipline. Those people are damaging their health and will underperform at work, even if they don’t realise it.

Read “why we sleep”.
"There are two things I am sure of after all these years: there is a growing societal need for high assurance software, and market forces are never going to provide it." - Earl Boebert

I'm now almost weirdly proud of the crap work of mine that I can find on the wayback machine :-)

I think the idea is that something is ambiguous if it has more than one meaning. This language avoids the problem by having no meaning. It may be a very dry joke. I'm not sure.
Some people are more effective in the morning, others later on. The morning and night owl thing is backed up by scientific evidence.

NB - I previously didn’t believe this, and posted so in the past. After reading “why we sleep” that cites evidence to the contrary, I admit I’m wrong.
Social Layer started out as a side project to try out some new technologies (my first PWA built on Vue.js). As it happens with some side projects, things get out of control and progress further than you initially thought :) I'd love to hear your feedback on this!

I used to use Feedly and Pocket a lot, but now Social Layer has replaced both of them. Another feature I wanted was to make links between articles visible. This helps a lot in digging to the sources of an article. You can read more on our blog at https://layer.social/blog/welcome-were-open/
> It does, because the property value is high right, but in California that rate could be "locked in" by the same owner decades ago (property tax doesn't change here until sold).

Property taxes can change annually, though there is a 1% maximum rate limit, and so can assessed values, though there is an upper bound to assessed value based on a 2% per year increase over the baseline value set by a qualifying sale or improvement.

If this is true, it's a design mistake. Backlight should never be paired, it should be activated on demand either by a button or by an ambiance light sensor. Having backlight turned on when reading a book on an e-ink screen during a day is a ridiculous waste of battery unless you hide in a closet.
Anyone who thinks cutting down on sleep is a good idea should read “why we sleep”.

Don’t do it. You’ll be less effective at work and you’ll seriously damage your health. Fact.

Heya, I'm the Sourcegrapher working on the discussions feature[1]. It's great to hear your are enjoying it. We're looking for users to help drive the direction of the feature as it matures and really influence what we work on next with it, so if you're up for it I'd really love to get your feedback on it (as much as you'd be willing to provide). :)

Jira integration -> We're working on it! Mind commenting on https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/141 ?

Markers in the code -> If you could archive or dismiss the inline discussion threads (so that they no longer show up in the inline view) would that work well?

Flat file upload -> Could you file a feature request for this at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/new/choose with some more details on how e.g. you would wish to give Sourcegraph access to the code?

Exporting search to CSV -> It might be pretty easy to write something like this with our `src` CLI tool: https://github.com/sourcegraph/src-cli You can get JSON output via e.g. `src search -json 'repogroup:sample error'`

Hope to hear more from you! :)

Rovio was/is a special case for bizarre management.
If I read correctly correlated informations, the guy sold a company for 130 million dollars in the early 2000s (a story which also provided him with much needed experience in patents laws). If his only hobby in the meantime has been challenging patents, he probably can afford it !
To be clear, the IRS and state tax agencies are different entities.

Thumbs-up! I get what you mean but this sounds brilliant :-)))
It's no bubble now because we don't build nearly enough in these areas. We need some kind of big federal or state project where lots of people get bought out to leave, or moved via eminent domain, and higher density built.
Actually, I am pretty good friends with a civil engineer that did something almost exactly like this for a friend of his. He did this in his spare time and having no prior experience with the niche industry and law his friend's company operated in (botanical health supplements). The people from the federal government involved in the complaint did not believe he wasn't a specialized lawyer with a team of assistants. Do not underestimate the capacity of an engineer scorned.

Fine, I'll bite. The person mentioned in the article is not anonymous, his name, credentials and motivation are all publicly stated. None of which applies to the GP.
I think that the raw-hardware-power aspect is actually a special case of ease of development - in that case, it's the ease of not having to think about low-level consequences of your abstractions or spend effort on optimizing your code!
From the article [about how isolated he is now and how unable to threaten or kill witnesses]:

“(...) unless the government is suggesting that the defense team will disseminate hit orders from Mr. Guzmán, there is no realistic way for him to do anything” to the witnesses at all."

Assuming that the leader of Sinaola cartel who had people murdered in thousands has lawyers that would deny him the means to order hits on witnesses is childishly naive.

It would really have surprised me to hear that they didn't.

Though there seems to be some relevance to the government's numbers, otherwise the market would totally ignore them.
I think most vigilante extensions arise from malicious players buying popular extensions and then uploading nefarious new versions. In other words, the original authors do not necessarily have incentive to request as many permissions as possible.
Inside amazon's brick and mortar 4-star store
Any updates like these are appreciated since I've all but stopped using extensions, and would like starting using them again one day. I don't think the current system with messages in the UI like "read/change all data on all sites you visit" is acceptable in the current 2018 environment. I feel like a default-deny-all policy and a (user friendly) way to review what data/urls an extension is accessing is needed. There currently is too much trust involved, and it seems like it shouldn't be needed. One idea is for chrome to provide the extension with a sandboxed, virtual dom api that doesn't pass any user identifiable data. The extension registers with chrome the functionality it provides, like "fill the main password field with this string", and chrome executes that action internally. It can never request user/history/etc data, just provide functionality to a black box.
Maybe patents should come with a prototype.
I think that is because we conflate the concept of justice with the process of justice. Justice is getting what you deserve for your actions. We came up with the process of justice for example trials, witnesses, juries, etc to help us as a society more reliably achieve justice the concept. However, these two things are disctinct.
I think we can agree to disagree given the subjectiveness of what we're evaluating. But I will completely disagree that I'm only considering "the most expensive houses". Relatively expensive houses, sure, but in the average (or median), not absurd.

Also, I want to point out that it was an anecdotal article asserting broad outcomes. I don't think you can be so reductive about the current housing market.
I did all of this (except HTML/CSS coding). But it wasn't accomplished in one day. There were several rounds of improvements.
And a lot of these people have the resources to keep betting after they fail. I recall someone I know who failed 4 businesses, falling back to his rich family after each try while he cooked up the next one. Eventually hit the jackpot on the fifth one and acted as though he was a self-made genius.

Baseball is easy when you have unlimited at-bats.
I remember Sourcegraph as being a sort of sidecar to your text editor.

Based on your caret position, it would automatically show you crawled examples of how other people use the functions/classes you are dealing with.

Has that been de-emphasised or gone away?
The missing part of the software engineering job description
He visited two of [Uber's] buildings in San Francisco before being directed to its headquarters, where he was met with skepticism by a security guard.

“I explained that I had filed an ex parte reexamination on my own and Waymo had had it for two weeks already and it didn’t seem fair that Uber didn’t have it, given it was going to trial,” explains Swildens. “But I felt the guy thought I was some crazy person who just came in off the street.”
I think, this is really an everyday phenomenon. There are a number of scenarios where this may apply:

Suspension of disbelief: I'm collaboratively participating in a narrative and asserting certain truths is a premise to this collaboration, which is the very act of making meaning. At the same time, I do not believe in the reality of what is actually my psychological reality. This is a certainly a matter of context switching, which is not reserved to art, but may also be observed in real life.

In certain cases, the narrative which is the description of the real world, which we wholeheartedly assert, becomes complex to an extent, where, while we still acknowledge the correctness of this description, we find it increasingly difficult to believe in, even on the basis of a working model, while still working in and with it. Compare quantum physics, certain aspects of cosmology, etc.

Parallel acknowledgement of contesting messages regarding the state of the world or facts therein, especially in politics or systems of belief. I do know that the regime I was asserting did this and this, but still I do not believe that the leaders would have done so. (Compare German citizens guided through concentration camps after WW II; I see it, I do know it to be true, but I do not believe it.) Or, by the example of current SCOTUS hearings, I may believe a certain witness (i.e., assert the content to be true), but still do not believe that the other person would have committed the incriminated act, still, I assert the testament of the witness as truth, which implies that the act has been committed by this person, etc. (All kind of distortions arise from this, some are even part of what we regard as objective history.)

Not all to be honest, there are keystone patents (e.g. patent for integrated circuit) that were genuinely novel and breakthrough, but somewhere along the way the system seems to have become large dysfunctional.
