Actually even in the west coast we have a hard time finding candidates that can write even fizzbuzz level of code. Its not even a recent problem.

The worst I've hard was a person with 20+ years of consulting experience for top companies in firmware could not code 3 lines of C code to traverse a linked list. Literally didn't know the syntax to dereference pointers!
I support a point-based H1B and Green Card system allowing individuals to apply for their own green card. Salary should take precedence over lottery any day. Someone mentioned about making it industry specific, but that's just opening a loophole. Something like this might improve domestic salaries across sectors.
The argument for this I come up with is rather that they want to maintain the security of their platform - protecting things like their App Store DRM as much as possible.

By disallowing downgrades you can't get back to a version with older exploitable bugs.
Isn't it possible for this to be happening on a smaller scale and in plain sight? That is, for example, if Google is not always the source of the images, can't the supplier / vendor doctor the images it provides to Google? Who would know?
Thanks for clarifying :)
It's way too simple. Let's say I was awarded 1000 shares of stock that vest over the next 4 years. Let's say I was awarded these stocks only 2 weeks before date of separation. Does my ex have the same community property interest in these 1000 stocks (spoiler: they don't) as in 1000 stocks awarded 2 years previously, before the marriage ended? Does it matter how long I worked at the company during the marriage (yes, it does)?

What if one of the parties doesn't want to sell the stock, or it doesn't make sense because the stocks are currently underwater (but may not be at some future date)? What if many of the assets in question are Restricted Stock Units, with no agreed upon value since they cannot be priced until they are released?

"Just sell it all and split it 50/50! DUH!" is not something that works in the real world, where the law is meant to operate.
>being polite to a person or group the attacker dislikes"

If person A describes person B as homosexual" or "African American" instead of "gay" or "black" instead of in order to not offend person C who is straight and white is that an example of being polite or political correctness?

I would say the latter.
That is not what journaling is for. Journaling is for maintaining filesystem consistency. If you want access to recently deleted files that is a different task.

On my system I have snapshots of my home directory created every 15 minutes. Not quite the same thing, but it also helps me when I have incorrectly modified a file.

While I don't wanna get more into this debate, I should one more time state that reducing Marxism to "inhuman Marxist societies" is ad hominem and your argument doesn't have any value to me. Also you used/coined a word "state socialism" which to me is an oxymoron as I cannot conceptualize socialism that is not stateless.

Marxism may be reductionist or wrong (and it is) but it is almost by design wrong. Darwin was also vastly wrong and ignorant (he didn't even know genes). There is a very rich academic literature on Marxism, that is not written by laymen (like Stalin who I doubt ever read any Marx). Similarly, modern biology is almost all about evolution regardless whether Darwin's original ideas were accurate or not, they found their own way. Marx is outdated in a very similar fashion Freud or Darwin are outdated. Just 'cause some inhuman eugenics people thought we can apply "Darwinism" to kill people doesn't make Darwinism inhuman (unless you think it does, but I don't think so).

> [Engels talking about dilettantes and how not everything can be reduced to economy etc]

This sort of reduction wasn't what I was going for. To me Marxism is a tool, just like any other tool. It gives me a clear framework to conceptualize and analyze things, using a very similar analysis Marx used in the German Ideology, Capital etc (which people sometimes say reversed Hegelianism, but this is not very accurate). It's about when you observe the world what you see in abstract. Of course, in real life people still do stuff independent of their financial situation etc. This is not relevant imho.
I'm not dismissing things. In fact, 'JoeAltmaier is correct that my analogy here was in context of the usual "neuron as signal adder" / "neuron as transistor".

And yes, I'm aware neurons are complex. But that does not mean all of that complexity is relevant to the task of thinking; all living cells have machinery related to self-replication, self-maintenance and survival in a biological system.

Or to use another analogy - a smartphone is orders of magnitude more complicated than a flashlight. Yet in context of people illuminating their way during the night, a smartphone is just a flashlight.
Lambda calculus is simple, mechanical symbol substitution. There’s no information or memory needed outside of the initial ‘program’ other than the substitution rules.

Innocent, guilty, what I want to know is how the government can turn corporations into their personal database service. It's one thing to pop a tape out of the CCTV deck, quite another to tell a company, "go out of your way to run this query. Don't have one pre-canned? Write one." Same with telling Apple to write phone-cracking software: compelled speech?

In summary, what's to keep Google from telling them, "go do your own footwork."?
People get patents for perpetual motion machines as well... Do you really think your idea works?

This is what I think: the quantum state of your entangled pair is a pure state and if you look at the quantum state of the photon sent to the "receiver" it is described by the density matrix obtained by tracing out the other photon :

1/2 0
0 1/2

If you measure in the "transmiter" the horizontal polarization, what you get in the "receiver" is a 50/50 mixture of pure states |H> and |V> which is described by the same density matrix.

If you measure in the "transmiter" the 45-degrees polarization, what you get in the "receiver" is a 50/50 mixture of pure states |45> and |-45> which is again described by the same density matrix.

No matter what yo do or do not measure at the "transmiter" you will get the same measurements at the "receiver" because the density matrix describing the state is always the same (unpolarized light).
Hey everyone, this is Alex from SeedAndDew. The idea here to give people a way to contribute to open source as a whole with the revenue being distributed in proportion to how much you care about a project. The proxy we're using for now is the amount of time you spend reading documentation. We currently have 12 projects on board including projects like SQLAlchemy, Bundler, RSpec and Gorm and have a few more in the pipeline.
Thanks - I'm kinda surprised to hear that feedback, since I made it myself real quick as a holdover while we launched... we have plans to fill it out a little more.

The pages will all be revamped, but now we'll focus on keeping it simple.

(I make all my sites without templates/themes -- from-scratch HTML in an editor, because that's what I'm used to... it doesn't take very long and I know 100% what's going on as I make it. My cofounder Cory is more of the front-end guru though so we'll use the best tools between what we know!)

Lambda calculus (LC) isn't Lisp. LC does not represent its own notation as an object manipulated by lambda calculus and has nothing like a quote operator; to implement/simulate LC calculus, you don't require any specific data structure like a cons cell; there is nothing in LC to dictate it. You will need some sort of parser for a notation, and some run-time representation of functions (objects corresponding to the lambda terms) plus environments for the named parameters. Speaking of which, those names are not required to be anything like Lisp interned symbols.

The business then needs to cover the executive salary on top of EB investments into other businesses - that is not a substitute for H1B. This fact along with addressing the tone makes it seem like you're fishing for a red herring.
I had a pretty similar experience, so I didn't post much at first. You used to see people getting called out for not following site norms, being told to "lurk for 2 years before posting" but you don't see that anymore. I think that type of self-moderation is really good for maintaining a quality community, but it selects for a certain type of user so most people don't like it.
But companies in CA were still hiring, as you mentioned. If the labor pool was flooded with laid off workers, then it's a buyers market. You would think the companies can just hire from that pool for whatever they wanted to pay (cuz in such a climate, they would have takers), without bothering with the H1B search and paperwork hassle.

I don't have a roomba but some cheaper version. I let run every other day in 1BR apartment it picks up two fist sized chunks of dust each time. Seems useful for me to get that dust out that would otherwise float around or collect on surfaces, with few mins of work of emptying it.
A lot of people here are saying $100B is too high of a goal to accomplish.

The best advice of the video is to have a strong vision of the future. How will the world be fundamentally different in 10 years compared to how it is today. Think about that change, and then build a company that will be well positioned with the new change. The stronger your vision, and the more accurate it is, the better your chance of success is.

In 10 years there will be a dozen 1 trillion dollar companies. The number of $100B companies is going to explode as well. More and more commerce is happening on the internet which scales much easier than brick and motor commerce. More and more goods purchased are entirely virtual, and have huge margins. More and more value is in software, which can be copied and used without practical limits. If your goal is to start a company that grows to $100B there has never been a better time to do that than right now.
There are some mostly untrue assertions on the essay. Most cryptocurrencies are not fungible. Cryptocurrencies are not taxed at large YET, but they will. Most cryptocurrencies in use today are extremely volatile, so they can be used by speculative investors, but right now, they are very risky as stores of value.

That said, I believe cryptocurrencies are the future of money, as those issues are resolved by better technology and new cryptocurrencies, just it might not be the ones existing today, especially not BTC.
Or, one possible alternative would be to always prevent any side-effects other than printing output, and then display a warning saying something like "This command tried to access the network/modify the filesystem/be naughty in some other way.

I've been following Pipeline since the beginning and it's so fricking cool. Please, if you can't think of a good use of Pipeline, use it instead of a count(*)! :D
My main concern would be how you’d get robbed with one of these. If they take your hand or thumb they can then use your chip to pay for things. Sure you could cancel it but I don’t want to give any motive for someone to cut my hand off.
I've written an extensive reading list manager using the marvel API which I use personally. It's only a day or so of development from being publicly usable, and would really improve the experience of Marvel Unlimited for a lot of people.

This is why it will probably never be public. Why bother when I would have to cover all the hosting costs myself?
This is the case in South Korea where imagery of sensitive locations is illegal. If you compare Naver maps to Google maps you'll see military installations are missing and are replaced with home and trees. Interestingly this also applies to the presidential palace, which is a huge building in the center of the capital which has stood for decades. I'm still not sure why they did that.

Word on the street from hiring managers is that it now takes > 6 mo to process such a visa transfer and you can’t get premium processing to speed it up.

People are making offers to candidates with undefined start dates many months in the future. The candidate has to commit to switching jobs when the transfer is submitted. If current job gives them a promotion in the interim and they decide to stay, they can’t just cancel the transfer. Their current employer (who didn’t know a transfer was happening) has to file a reverse transfer with the same delay that puts them in some kind of limbo.

It’s a complete clusterfuck and is making it really hard to hire for some positions.

I was thinking about similar tool to this one and this was the biggest obstacle I could think of. Also write touch and create a file for each keystroke.

To become something more than a hack you have a few choices:

- a blacklist - will never be enough, still arguments may be problematic

- a whitelist - will always be not enough, arguments may be problematic, but a bit less than with a blacklist

- limiting permissions somehow - tricky

The last and best option IMHO would be to wrap it in a sandbox, where all filesystem access is behind an overlay (i.e. mount namespaces and overlayfs). This way if you are satisfied you can apply changes (if there is anything to change). The overlay would be removed and created on each keypress. It may be also possible to wrap process access, so one could safely play with kill, but I'm not sure. Even network settings to some extent. But there is nothing you can do with curl -X POST or something similar.
I'm not saying it is the panacea, or that it only has consequences. Just that technology drives social and political developments, not the other way around. Our current technology does promote free speech[0], and does promote lack of privacy. That's why you see politicians fighting with the Internet on curtailing free speech, and promoting privacy.

Politics and social customs are all about taking particular spots on a landscape of choices. Technology shapes that very landscape.

- [0] - note how difficult it is to really censor anything these days, or curtail someone's audience; hell, if anything, technology is showing that ubiquitous free speech has some negative consequences too.
Just to clarify: that is a "yes this is intended for a global audience" :)

The preview version is fairly US-centric (language used, initial sources followed, example filter bubbles etc). But that is very much a starting point to show how the concept works in action. So that will change as it develops. The underlying algorithms are built with both global use and local filtering in mind. So stay tuned on that front!
Novel and interesting idea but honestly i can't see any other use for this than grep and that point you might as well just pipe the output straight into vi, less or your other favourite editor where incremental search is one keystroke away.

Sure, the shell has some powerful tools like jq that editors usually lack but otherwise several levels combo piping through cut, wc, awk, etc are quite rare and are usually only done in crazy shell scripts that actually should be rewritten in more appropriate language.

And the dangers of automatically running any commands shouldn't be downplayed. If you only whitelist a few programs this would be much safer, most users would only use this for grep. Or run the whole thing through a docker container.

A powerful use of low cost AR/VR, which I don't see a lot of people pursuing, would be to 3D render building plans while displaying feeds from smartphone cameras as "viewports" inside the rendered building. This could be used to very quickly get information from people onsite to experts and decision makers, with more easily displayed and digested contextual information. This could also be used in the building of large machines as well.

A lot of the challenge in this sort of technical communication is conveying the Point of View of the person onsite. We have the technology now, so why not just render it?
Is the correct and most efficient way to solve it?

When you're replying to a comment pointing out that there are, in fact, lots of competing apps, and your comment claiming that they're still evil points to an article from nine years ago, you don't demonstrate much credibility to your claims.

IAMNANS (I am not a neuroscientist) but my very simple understanding is that to a reasonable approximation, inputs are analog (there’s a lot of nuance in if and how much signal makes it into a neuron) and outputs are digital (neuron fires or doesn’t), leading to all kinds of interesting circuitry.

I've driven on bases before. They're massive and you need directions to get around. Usually the folks on the ground like those letting you on will tell you what turns to make.
In my view, "political correctness" often manifests as constructing rules of politeness with political objectives in mind (with varying degrees of subtlety).

Here's one concrete example: during one of my company's all hands meetings our head of HR and head of Diversity gave presentations about our diversity numbers and diversity hiring policies. One of the top voted audience questions was what the company says to people who point our diversity policies constitute lowering the bar for diverse candidates (I actually discussed the question with the person who ask it. He wanted to give HR the opportunity to say something along the lines of "we do have different hiring policies for diverse candidates, but we still ensure all offer recipients are qualified.") Our head of HR denied that we lower the bar, and furthermore said that this question is hurtful. This is an understatement, she basically publicly shamed the asked of the question. The thing is, our company does lower the bar. We allow diverse candidates from "non traditional" backgrounds (coding boot camp, and new grads from non-tech related majors) to apply while non-diverse candidates from such backgrounds are automatically rejected if they don't have a referral. In our phone screen, non-diverse candidates get one chance to pass, while diverse candidates get a second if they don't pass on their first try. I think we don't intentionally hire any unqualified applicants, but to say we don't lower the bar is objectively false. We do indeed set explicitly more permissive hiring policies for diverse candidates. I wanted to ask what HR means when they deny lowering the bar given that we have policies explicitly to that effect. But it was clear that the company had constructed a view of politeness the in which pointing this out was unacceptable - I'm taking unacceptable to the same degree as calling a female co-worker a "bitch". So the result was that our head of HR was allowed to lie with impunity due to a politicized construction of social norms.

That is what I would call "political correctness". I agree that it's a subjective and murkey boundary, but I would draw the line where a group is constructing a view of social norms that has the effect of constraining valid political discourse. Of course this effectively passes the buck to the other question of "what is valid political discourse?" but I think at least 80% of people would agree that affirmative action is valid political discourse. Let alone pointing out when lies about the company's policies are being promulgated by staff.
I know a colleague who bought the Braava, the mopping robot made by also manufactured by iRobot (the Roomba's manufacturer) based on my guarded recommendation that it has limitations, but it is still pretty helpful. She came back and said that she was happy having a device that reduced the number of times she would have to do the mopping herself.

I agree that the marketing behind these devices over promises their real-world capabilities, but if compare this marketing to that of other kinds of appliances and household products, then it is pretty much the same. Maybe totally honest accounts of product performance don't sell well because potential customers have been conditioned by marketing that promises the world?
I think robot mowers do a bettter job than robot vacuums simple because it is (for reasonably simple lawns) a simpler problem. A house with some levels, stairs, chairs is a very hard problem for a roomba.
