I have no idea which political universe you're living in, it's certainly not the 2018 US electorate, this description is inaccurate to the point of incoherence.

Would be curious to know the difference between TRACOM and DiSC as they seem almost identical. I took a DISC assessment in college as part of a leadership program and thought it was reasonably on point. Have found the Gallup StrengthsFinders assessment more holistic and personalized.

Tracom's styles:

DRIVER: ( Low responsiveness, high assertiveness ) Task orientated, clearly defined goals, committed, determined, risk takers, efficient.

EXPRESSIVE: ( High Responsiveness, High Assertiveness ) People orientated, centre of attention, positive, emotional, talkative, enthusiastic, dramatic.

AMIABLE: ( High Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness ) Loyal, personable, patient, Uncomfortable with risk, Non-Confrontational, Dislike pressure, Enjoy the company of others.

ANALYTICAL: (Low Responsiveness, Low Assertiveness) Serious, mull matters over, Indecisive, persistent, ask lots of questions,

DiSC model:

Dominance - The D-style is the most aggressive of the 4 styles. D-styles are quick, competitive and results-focused.

Influence - I-styles are the most outgoing and social of the 4 styles. They enjoy being the center of attention. I-styles like interacting with others and meeting new people.

Steadiness - S-styles are calm, steady, and the most laid back of the 4 styles. S-styles are more reserved and less animated than the outgoing I-styles.

Correctness - C-styles are the most analytical of the 4 styles. C-styles focus on details, facts, information, and proof.

I don't know if I would call that a good alternative. How many places on the Earth can you no longer go due to radiation? Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island and the list will go on. Also it seams very short sided in terms of planning for out of control cosmic events such as asteroids or coronal mass ejections which could wipe out our grid, leading to nuclear leaks worldwide. If we were to get something like the Carrington Event of 1859 [1] we would be much worse off for centuries if we rely on nuclear energy rather then finding a safer fuel source.

Totally agree. GraphQL makes perfect sense for a large app with many endpoints but there isn’t a lot of benefit for smaller apps. I’m involved in an app now that “has to use GraphQL” but could easily be done with a restful api without the additional overhead of what is essentially middleware.

No.
Does that strategy work?
Afaik, Most language communities with a package manager are fine with the network request, since it should really only occur on initial pull, and library updates; not sure what they do with vagrant, but i imagine just keeping the libs locally and copying it in on vagrant build.

Eg in pythonland, I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a repo with packages stored in the repo.

So what happened in jsland that makes the difference?

Yes, I completely agree. It goes both ways.
Well, yes, but that doesn't contradict what I'm saying. "Usually" implies "not necessarily".

It's trivially true that population is part of the equation. But it's pragmatically irrelevant to short-medium term policy when we know we are in a state of critical global emergency, with natural systems collapsing apace. Policy needs to address that right now. I doubt the "overpopulation!" expostulators are really proposing a human cull as policy. I'm not sure what else that leaves as their motivation other than misdirection.
The pricing of / evaluation of bug bounties seems to be a problem. Going begging to the vendor of course results in reduced value.

Everything tends to be undervalued when there is only one buyer.

Also purchase processes tend to be slow when there is only one buyer.

It's almost as if there needs to be competition for the sale of the disclosure ... although that would have its own issues of course.

Another idea is a public timed/buy/disclosure board that offers security bugs to the vendor at a certain price but if the vendor does not want to pay within the time then it's released publicly. Effectively this is a concept in which the researcher who found the bug decides on the price and the timeframe in which it will be paid, rather than placing the decision in the hands of the vendor. This too of course has issues. It's likely that things will go this way though because security vulnerabilities are worth a great deal to companies.

There's an opportunity right here for the startup who wishes to publicly list vulnerabilities for sale to the vendor (only) at a given price within a given time with escrow, else the researcher release to public. You'd have to find a way to present it such that it is not extortion which might be hard, but in a way that sort of what bug bounty programs are - reverse extortion. Bug bounties are sort of saying "we'll pay you if you can exploit us but promise not to", whereas extortion is saying "I know how to exploit you, pay me so I won't". The big money goes to whichever startup finds how to present this in an acceptable way.
I am willing to bet that Amazon also already has significant presence in NYC, while I don't know exact numbers, a reasonable proxy is their job site, it lists around 600 active openings in the NYC, which means they employ 5-10k employees already.

NYC is way too big for any material impact either way by Amazon on infra, however the tech scene could use the boost, while as you point out there is already significant presence from some major folks, this could be potentially be the start of something much larger
CO2 emission is highly uneven per capita across the globe. Americans are more than capable of producing way more CO2, even if population remains flat.

The vast majority of companies can barely build their own products, let alone study the source code of complex 3rd-party software. A distributed SQL database is on the extreme end of knowledge required to even understand it, so I'm not sure how open-source is going to help you.

As a counter-example, rethinkdb is open-source but the company failed and nobody cares about using it anymore. What would you do with that? Start building new database features yourself? Or just get your data out and move to a different system?
That's for Cub Scouts. For Scouts BSA, the current plan is to have boy-only troops and girl-only troops. They can share the same troop number, committee, budget, etc, but only the Scoutmaster has to be different.

I foresee that changing or troops taking initiative and organizing differently unofficially, but that's the current plan.

Why Angular made me quit web dev
I take your point, but it really depends on the application.

I care about this having worked on realtime collaborative editors. In this space it definitely does make sense to describe string offsets with unicode codepoints. The problem with counting the number of grapheme clusters is that that number can change with every revision of the unicode spec, and you can get different answers on different platforms. Or the same platform, but a different version of the OS. Does a zero width space offset the position count or not? Do you get the same answer on Windows, MacOS and through whatever unix you happen to use AWS? I shudder just thinking about it.

In contrast, counting unicode codepoints is simple, consistent and well defined. Counting string lengths that way is also implemented in the standard library of just about all languages.
Proton Mail encrypts your mail at rest, and they do not store the decryption keys, so theoretically Proton Mail cannot read your normal emails unless they intercept and store them during sending or receiving. This is already a benefit whether your contacts use encrypted email or not.

There is a way to send an encrypted message to any other email address, but you have to share a password with them somehow, either by including a hint or by some other channel. It is essentially encrypting and storing the message on Proton Mail servers, and then giving the recipient a link to un-encrypt it (they must know the password to do this). I'm not sure if this process is zero-knowledge or not.

In addition all Proton Mail to Proton Mail emails are end-to-end encrypted.

These are not as good as if everybody used email encryption, and it was all end-to-end zero-knowledge, but it's better than the status-quo, in my opinion at least.

I think this quote from Mr Peanut butter speaks volumes to your problem.

"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead."
Agree with you, for small apps it looks like this is a lot of effort for little benefits. For large companies that deal with huge APIs, maybe it's good.
Truth is you are in a market that is hard to automate at a small size. Most sales happen through offline interactions (as youve discovered).

You can still try and automate certain things, however, the core of your sales process is and will stay offline and people centric.

Abandon your email marketing efforts for new leads and use the money to convert users offline. Then market to them for repeat business. The biggest cost in your business is finding the customer. Getting repeat orders is way cheaper and scalable through fairly automated processes.

Make sure that you are overdelivering in product and service. B2B catering is saturated. Even Subway caters, and people like their sandwiches. Set yourself apart through a better product and service.

One thing you can do is get in touch with local consulting companies, offer them a free meal if you can pitch to their clients or if they use you anytime they cater a lunch for a client. Working lunches are commonplace. In fact, pitching yourself as the "working lunch caterer" will certainly open many doors.

You website is bland and hard to read. Spend some money there. Also, since you are B2B, having a designer build a deck about your services will set you apart. B2B lives or dies on decks.

Good luck. Its a tough market.
There is some increasing interest in logic languages recently, mostly as an extension of DL/ML approach - probabilistic logic for example. Surprisingly easy probabilistic systems can be built with Prolog [1].

I don't value contempt. I don't think that contempt is strongly associated with programming or computer science. I would consider that to be a problem. I can't condone the expression of contempt in the public discourse related to computer science. I do not typically have much free money for donations, but I would on principle refuse to financially support contempt. I would wonder that anyone would consider that a positive trait. I certainly think that this attitude would discourage newcomers to the field, and I think it's worth working to promote a different image and mindset.

It's well established that fish feel pain[0]. It's also possible to kill them far more humanely that we do now, e.g. by electroshock or by eugenol anesthesia. Despite this, out of the 1+ trillion fish killed by humans every year, almost all of them die slowly and painfully. We choose to do this simply because it's more convenient. Why would aliens treat humans any differently?

Intentionally signaling to aliens is one of the stupidest ideas I can think of. The Killing Star by Charles Pellegrino and George Zebrowski has a good analogy (longer quote here: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/aliencontact.ph... ), describing a thought experiment of surviving the night in a crime-ridden Central Park:

"How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, "I'm here!" The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, "I'm a friend!"

What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you don't want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out.

There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe.

There is no policeman.

There is no way out.

And the night never ends."

But those 11x as many people are only there because that's where the train is.

Useful mental exercise: next time you're out of the house, imagine that every automobile parking spot, parking lot, and parking garage you see is actually a transit depot. That's what optimal engineering and regulation of self-driving cars would buy us. Of course, being Americans, I'm sure we'll try everything else first.

> Does listening to music while working serve as a distraction, or motivation?

There was a study which determined that people do mundane, routine work equally well with music or without it, but if the work required creative thinking, music lost to no music. A possible conclusion is that music engages the regions of the brain which are required for creative thinking.

That's just one study, however, and I doubt that I would be able to find a link to it now.

Personally I find that if I turn on “Techno Live Sets”[1] when mashing the buttons, I'm risking doing all the work that's to be done, in one day. On the other hand, some neo-prog post-industrial breakbeat doom would regularly steal my attention. But I've already listened to months if not years of techno cumulatively, while I'm very much in the market for some post-industrial breakbeat doom.

Also, I have a distinct thing about voice in music: the clearer the words, the less suited the music is for the background. Mumbling to complex hip-hop rhythm ok, clear and loud declamation not ok.

Most notably, I can mostly turn off my attention to words in English, which is the second language for me, while my native language gets straight into my brain's speech recognition centers—I've been suffering from this quite a lot when around TV or pop music. Inane lyrics in my language immediately throw me into stupor of trying to find any sort of reason behind them, while I'm comfortable with any random drivel in English until I explicitly try to decipher it. I've also noticed that I can consume text in my native language pretty fast without any conscious effort, while I can't really skim text in English—I have to pay attention or I drift off. It seems like for the second-language English, parts of the brain that transform it into meaning have to be consciously engaged, while the native language gets the treatment on the subconscious low level.

As if humans haven't also hit the barrier of meaning? And yet we've still made unimaginable discoveries. I almost added the word "progress" but I guess that depends on what you find meaningful.

The article states: "But ultimately, the goal of developing trustworthy A.I. will require a deeper investigation into our own remarkable abilities and new insights into the cognitive mechanisms we ourselves use to reliably and robustly understand the world."

Why limit the field to the capacity of humans? What the author calls "remarkable abilities" and "robustly understand[ing] the world" can also be seen as just reproducing our own innate and learned collective human biases. Our theories from observation, and their unprecedented ability to predict future events, is more about describing the world vs understanding it. Is there any topic in the world that doesn't have contrary interpretations?

What quantifiable metric would we even use to gauge artificial intelligence's grasp of "meaning"? We don't even have one for our own.
