While I am not saying Trump is always truthful, there are a small no. of things he is doing which are at least debatable (such as his stance against China or the new UCMCA pact or the Tax Bill) but NYTimes has never called those out in a thoughtful manner. All I get from NYTimes is "how" Trump/GOP was able to force things through via politics in Congress vs. the actual merits/demerits of the "thing" itself.

I feel WSJ is at least more neutral (but it could be leaning right though I am not sure) and tries to analyze topics more principally vs. emotionally/morally.

Speaking as someone who is a 40+ IC Eng at one of the FAANG companies (and previously worked for another) let me give you some advice:

- First, at the risk of being blunt, you come across as someone who needs to get off their high horse with your list of "demands".

Take the open office. This is the norm. IME this has always been manageable with headphones. YMMV.

- The biggest issue is not wanting to exhaust yourself helping others. Helping others is about your best value add. What's more, helping people is a pretty good way of earning the gratitude of your colleagues.

Some general thoughts on working as a 40+ IC in these companies. Again YMMV:

- I don't tell people my age. Nor do I allow people to infer it by, say, mentioning when I graduated college or make references that would otherwise indicate my age. Now I don't look 25 but do people assume I'm old looking in my 30s or in my 40s? I have no idea. I think it's in my best interest not to find out.

- Ageism is very real and it's subtle. I've had directors tell me "I like new grads so I can mold them" without realizing that's brazen ageism.

- Culture fit is another common proxy for ageism. You can say that millennials will naturally gravitate to those of similar age or background. Grads from one college will tend to prefer grads from the same college. Common experience is one reason for this but another is people can overvalue the social proof of, say, being an MIT or Stanford alum as that by extension increases their own value.

Culture fit is problematic on many fronts and tends to exclude those of nonstandard backgrounds for which age is but one factor.

- With or without justification you will have to alleviate the concern that you aren't an old dog who can't learn new tricks. Some older workers will expect deference based on age (as a proxy for seniority/experience) but it's the nature of the beast that in FAANG companies you may end up reporting to some wunderkind who is 2-3 years out of college and may be 20+ years younger than you. If you get hung up on that you're going to have a bad time.

- Likewise older workers will have to fight the stereotype that you'll be less committed because of other responsibilities (typically meaning family). The way you're wording things here does you no favors because it can come across as entitled and inflexible.

[Book] Object-oriented programming for coders (first edition)
Madoff and Alan Stanford went to jail. although unrelated to the 2008 financial crisis, is evidence white collar criminals can in fact get very punitive sentences. In the case of the 2008 crisis, the link between the actions of any one individual and the crisis itself is more tenuous. The problem was no so much maleficence, but underestimating risk. The risk management models these banks were using could not have foreseen such a large and sudden catastrophic failure. You cannot put people in jail for failing to account for tail risk. Second, the crisis was possibly also caused by poor government policy, such as programs creating incentives for low-income homeowners who may have not have had good credit.
No. That's really not how anything works.
>Wishful thinking.

Maybe! Hard to know if that's the extent of your comment. Care to explain why you think so?
Yes, that must be it. Everything else about astronomy I'm perfectly fine with, but dark matter makes me feel insignificant. It's no problem however that many ... equate dark matter with some tangible notion of one theory or another and that their (and my) ignorance is staggering; Or that a negative result, like we can't bring two calculations into agreement, is treated like a result that found a real thing, while it's quite the opposite.

The simple problem is that DM is often defined as "a form of matter", when it could be multiple different forms. It's just the semantics that irks me. And then, if they will find maybe a new particle to account for at least some of the motion we couldn't explain, I will still be on the fence, because its not clear at all how to distinguish such from a virtual particle. That's nevertheless just a matter of semantics. The actual theory is probably way over my head. Therefore, doubt about the prediction for dark matter is just as much provoked by curiosity as for the proposed explanations. Ultimately, most explanations would be, in a mundane sense, turn out rather boring. So the question is, what's the deeper insight, as it goes for cosmology, what's the significance for life in general? There's a lot we don't know? I didn't even know that!

Neutrinos are almost as strange. They interact a tiny bit via the weak force, and they interact via gravity like everything else, but that's it. We know they exist because of the weak interaction.

Maybe dark matter interacts with things via the weak force, but even less than neutrinos- not quite zero, but just small enough that we can't measure it, or can't measure it yet. Hopefully, they do interact a little bit by some other mechanism otherwise they'll be very hard to detect- I believe this is what current attempts to find dark matter are relying on.
That’s really interesting. Reading the OP's post:

> I <...> would like to be able to not be stressed and work overtime and solve hard technical problems and move towards a more rewarding job

I cannot tell whether he is saying he would like to be able to work overtime, or whether he doesn't want to <be stressed and> work overtime. I would assume, "work overtime" has a tighter coupling with the preceding "not" than with the preceding "would like to", but can't tell for sure.

I am not a lawyer but can't/shouldn't the defense request a dismissal at this point if the prosecutor just admitted it is an on-going investigation? It seems a bit unfair to continue with the case while using the fact that it is an open investigation as a cover to collect more evidence against them. It is unfair because the lawyers for the defense are trying to defend against a moving target.

NB: Not defending Holmes or Balwani but curious about the legal status of the case.

The discrepancy though is that a lot of the "observation" as I'd put it, too, is rather theoretic. It's a false dilemma and that's the problem. It's not just better measurements that are needed, but knowing where to look. If one is so far removed from the topic that there is no difference, it doesn't really make sense to speculate, except to show how much one doesn't understand.

Just out of curiosity, is the $40k pre-tax including 401k contributions of a spouse too? Otherwise, how can I, as an single person, achieve retirement contributions of $40k?

In general, working for startups with crappy retirement plans, retirement accounts have been a big pain point for me, a big portion of my assets are actually held in taxable accounts, which is not too bad if you invest in tax efficient funds which at most provide qualified dividends, and during a downturn you can do some valuable tax loss harvesting, but I would gladly take advantage of more tax deferred space.

Unless you're a strong believer in free will, someone who is lazy, sleazy, unintelligent, etc. (has little "merit") did not 'choose' to be born that way, or even if they say they did, they did not choose to have the nature/nurture that caused them to be the kind of person to make that 'choice.' No more than a bird chooses to eat a worm or a salmon chooses to swim upstream, anyway. We can build productive societies based on incentive structures we put around merit, such as capitalist market systems. But in reality, nothing is fair and simultaneously everything is fair. Fairness is undefinable outside of a closed system. It's just how it is. Heuristics to define merit are just forms of evolution for human society that allow more productive people to command more responsibility.
Yes I did. But thanks for the comment.
It seems like the article is just beating up a straw man. It doesn't define futurism, name any major futurologists, and seems to just rely on the stereotype that it's "flying cars" and "the Jetsons". It does mention The Net, and notes that ordering a pizza online is not so different to ordering a pizza on the phone. It conveniently misses the main story - that the main character has essentially no IRL social connections at all (as she telecommutes to work, only socialises online, and doesn't even know her neighbors) which is what allows her to be made a complete unperson when her online records are attacked. Maybe it's not Utopia (another futurist work) but it hardly ignores the cultural impact of technology.

Some science fiction (e.g. The Jetsons) is just a contemporary drama or comedy with fantastical sets and props. But even something as soft as Doctor Who (let alone the likes of Asimov, AC Clarke) often looks at culture (either how radically different it is, or how age-old problems remain). Then there's works like 1984 and Brave New World which were almost entirely about culture.

And it's not like The Jetsons ignored culture. It was deliberately a 1950s sit-com set in the far future, and was a follow-up to The Flintstones which was a 1950s sit-com set in the distant past. The fact that the original was a little conservative in its portrayal of culture might have had something to do with political environment (the Cuban missile crisis was just before it was written). I don't think it entirely ignored the possibility of social change, but was possibly trying to make some kind of statement about which economic system was really on the right side of history.

I find it interesting that they have the restriction that 'bytes' be 8 bit. The XAP2 architecture is likely the third most common by volume, and sizeof(int) == 1. I get that embedded systems are not the main focus of rust, but the embedded world is hardly just ARM.

> And that’s okay! Unless dark matter happens to be of a certain mass with a certain interaction cross-section, none of the designed experiments are going to see it. That doesn’t mean dark matter isn’t real, it just means that dark matter is something else than what our experiments are optimized to find.

That's the rather underwhelming conclusion. And it's wrong insofar the size argument is not certain, but depends trivially on the distance of observation. Otherwise I'd like to know what magical number we are talking about.

There was a point, not very long ago, where these websites had no, or naive, recommendation systems. Search functionality was based on strict to fuzzy keyword matching.

I agree the yes/no should be the question (always) and not any extra work to opt out.

That said, if usage data is the goal, then any personal info or content you work on being uploaded would be a critical bug, a bug of the kind that could just as (un)likely appear in any other part of the software regardless of whether telemetry is on. E.g the request to fetch extension listings could accidentally contain your info, or the git code could post your stuff suppose to go to a private repo to a public one through a bug.

I really don’t see why sensitive or personal info would be at risk with telemetry (of the acceptable kind ie feature use stats). If that is compromised by telemetry then it’s either a) a bug (see above) or b) they are deliberately being malware. And in that case - why even ask?
It was "disproven" based upon a different philosophy.

You can't disprove a philosophy though, you can only try to understand different philosophical models next to each other.

The Einsteinian philosophy represents materialism and a world without meaning. It was problematic right from the start when mental gymnastics was needed to explain how energy can move through nothing, or how nothing (space) can have properties.

Funny that you mention experimental evidence, as most of physics is basically theoretical nowadays. (That's why it's called theoretical physics, dark matter included)
> You cannot falsify dark matter, and you cannot prove a negative. Imagine I say there is a 5 headed green deer that weighs 2000 pounds and can speak Gaelic, but it's really good at avoiding being spotted - so good in fact that you can even look at right at it and might not see it. And you can even touch it and not even know you're touching it! What would you could consider an exhaustive proof of its lack of existence?

Dark matter isn't like this, though. It's more like an invisible deer that's been eating your grass and shitting on your lawn. At some point you have to say "I might not be able to see it, but the only thing that eats grass and leaves deer shit is ... a deer."

We have the problem that the observable mass of a galaxy is not sufficient to explain the motion of its constituents. As gravity is a pretty well validated theory, it can all be solved if we postulate some matter that we can't see which is still gravitationally affecting those things we can see. Dark matter, in this respect, is no more than the simplest explanation of what's happening via a single item that, if it were true, would explain things.

If you think you have a deer you haven't seen so far eating your lawn, you can put out infrared cameras and all sorts of equipment - and just maybe you might find that someone down the road has been messing with you and is mowing it at midnight. But equally, you might see grass disappear and see shit appear from mid air, and come to the conclusion whatever's doing it is invisible.

Ultimately, it's very conceivable that someone might disprove dark matter. All they have to do is posit some other candidate (eg a modification to gravity), and then predict a result that would follow from that. So far, all the other candidates haven't resulted in a hit, but the field is open for the next great idea to come up with one.

Brit of 50+ years here. Never once heard "hotting up" in respect of weather even on a TV weather report, though now I stick to radio and app for weather, as TV weather dumbed down too far. Of competition, yes loads of times to the point of it being endemic. Then "heating up" or "warming up" would be used for both weather or competition. :)

For hot weather I'd expect to hear "taps aff", "baking", "warm" (with a reasonable dose of default Brit sarcasm and Northern accent) or, if the red top media are involved, "heatwave" if the temperature rose briefly over 68F. Along with a few expressions that aren't so common any more like "cracking the flags" (warm enough to break paving flags) etc.

Am I wrong too? ;) It may be regionally idiomatic, but I don't recall ever hearing it even during my years working in London.
