I simply don’t think that’s sufficient.

Many of these people are relatively well educated. It’s the reinforcement of bad aspects of their belief system which is bad.

That’s one of the reasons I keep posting here, despite the negative reaction. People need to realise that free speech absolutitivness isn’t universally accepted.
Formal reasoning, scientific or otherwise, is all about reducing a subject to cognitive manageability. If the subject is too complicated to do that, then it shouldn't be considered in the same class as subjects where that is possible.
You voted on it by proxy: electing your officials who approved the deal.

That's true of all unsecured debt (hence, “unsecured”), not a special feature of education debt that justifies treatment different than general unsecured debt.

"Money is generally gotten by having done useful stuff for other people."

I do not agree. I think there is a very wide divergence between what is of exchange value and what is socially valuable. Capitalism is a system with its own structural tendencies and deformations. It cannot reduced down to just so many bilateral exchanges in which both parties achieve utility-improvements.

"It's not egregiously unequal -- it's a fair admissions fee that everybody (visiting during peak season) has to pay."

It is unfair because: (i) it assume that people with less money have less claim to a natural part of the earth that is held in common; (ii) most - maybe all - of the reason that some people have more money than others is, (a) because they were born with genes with a set of highly determinate propensities, with a determinate family and social configuration, that made them who they are (i.e. it's not within their control, and so they can hardly claim credit for it), (b) they exhibit various vices, like greed, covetousness, ruthlessness, etc., and so spend more time doing worse things to make money (of course, this is a little polemical, and I only mean for it to apply to a certain class of people who are particularly zealous and proud of money-making).
It might be easier to get sex for a woman but while having sex you need security/trust which she might not get from everyone.

If all you want is sex as a man, there are also prostitutes and escort services. But yea, they might not be available everywhere.

Sex is easily available in market.
On a related note, while scrolling towards the second half of the article, the site started breaking apart in front of me. By the time I reached the comments the whole article had become invisible, seemingly blocked by a pop-up background that wasn't removed by the adblocker.

And this is a trend I'm seeing more often recently. I've encountered multiple sites that start to fail on all sides once you use adblock, and I'm not talking about noscript or others where the site not working is already the default behaviour more often than not.

In fact some websites actually worked better in a purely terminal-based browser than on my current Firefox setup when I tried it a few weeks ago. Something is really going in the wrong direction.
Formula is healthier than brestfeeding in some aspects (much less chance of an iron deficiency). In much of the world, there is no stigma to formula feeding a baby; I think it is mainly the USA that has gone on an aggressive breastfeeding campaign in the last few years.

Rust's `Clone` trait is deep by default, except for

- Types with shared semantics (e.g. Rc<T>, Arc<T>), or holding onto these internally

- Types holding borrowed references (these will still reference the same data).

C++'s copy constructors are too, but there are more caveats, although they're similar in principal to Rust's caveats.

No, your salary would need to be 1500 * 12 to have the same standard of living. I did napkin math a while back, and someone on 100k in SF, after taxes and rent will still end up with more than most developers in the UK gross.
The network latency from Frankfurt to Italy is often unstable and does cause problems for video games I know. It's odd, but it's measurable, no idea why however.
>it can take advantage of many cores which you have in your computers.

Which is a bad thing when you're on a shared server. I remember it wasn't straightforward to limit the number of cores it utilizes and it even ignored the flag I passed it. I eventually resorted to waiting until the weekend when no one in the lab was running jobs.
i was thinking it would be a profitable line of business for some consulting company. e.g. host a small, invite-only conference for governors (or, more realistically, their delegates) about the concessions Amazon appears to be looking for and what states and cities risk by giving that stuff away.

Operating a radiator should not require education or domain knowledge. Its only affordances are "turn up" and "turn down," and neither of those should lead to a failure mode other than touching hot metal and singing yourself.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I have no bias against older developers. I think older developers are fantastic because they want to fuck off and do other things and get their work done on time.

The ones I hate are the 25 year old thundercats no-lifers who want to stay until 11pm for some unknown reason.
As a trans woman who has lived in Dallas all her life, I agree.

There is a lot I love about Dallas, but with the state government trying to shove bathroom bills down our throats (the only reason it failed last time was because Joe Straus was a hero and sacrificed his career), I can't stay here. I've been considering a move to Las Vegas for some time now, and I'm getting closer to pulling the trigger on it.
The verbosity and wall of text
Yes and no. I’ve had the opportunity to try some state of the art telepresence/teleconferencing kit. Stuff that they visit your office before they decide if they’ll sell it to you and then do a custom fit-out of a suite. Imagine the swankiest private cinema, x10, and another one on the far side.

It doesn’t hold a candle to a bunch of guys in a room at a physical whiteboard, for the sheer collaboration bandwidth. Fully-remote has its use cases, but it doesn’t cover all use cases.
If they demonstrate, sure.

But for that to be useful they also need to demonstrate that their model is robust under modifications - otherwise every time they retrain their NNs they should throw away prior safety records and start counting from zero. Because at this point, what would be the argument to keep it? With humans we know - from thousands of years of experience - that people generally don't go crazy when taught new things. With NNs, we know they're very sensitive to training data.
True, but I'm not excited for trying to apply it to enormous piles of existing code; or conversely, writing them off as "legacy".
I think they have a couple of well known car brands, too... if memory serves ;-)
There was still lots of local pressure from Chambers of Commerce type folks to get cities involved. And if they didn't apply, civic leaders would be accused of being anti-jobs. So a lot of pressure to get involved even if not straight from Mr. Bezos.
Your pre-emptive details may have been valid but your conclusions have been refuted.

We can read about mental models and then put them to use. You seem to be saying that is not possible.
The criticisms here are regarding the end user's reading experience, which are all fair.

However, Medium's unique value propositions typically outweigh these concerns:

1. For creators wanting to monetize, Medium automagically promotes content that is getting engagement on their platform. Everything from emails to their huge user base and social media promotions can drastically amplify engagement.

2. For non-technical writers, it offers a great UI for writing and publishing, and tools for engagement and feedback (claps, comments, ....)

Highly technical people, like the founders of basecamp/inventors of ruby on rails, use Medium for these reasons

Until a viable alternative for these 2 emerge, it's just as valid to recommend rsync over dropbox
Having read the very interesting and thoughtful debate arguments being made in the comments here, I have nothing more to add than to state that this isn't anything new, even if the exact means employed and the parties involved are.

It's a textbook "tragedy of the commons" where, as @konschubert said, the USA los{es,n} out for every dollar spent. But this was never about maximizing revenue/growth/benefit for America, it was cities trying to edge out one another for their own local maxima.

This is also a textbook bidding process, with players holding the cards close to their chest and trying to give up as little as they can while undercutting the competition by as small a margin as they could. The only way to win in a prisoner's dilemma is to collectively not play, something that numerous psychological studies have found to be something humans just aren't good at.

The only part of this that should be illegal (and probably is) is the reveal that there are two HQ2.5s.

I have a growing collection of resources under the title: "My Own Platform," and this is exactly why.

As many have mentioned, there are some awesome utilities out there for simple Markdown publishing -> Push to Github pages. Sure, you won't get all the interwoven clicks and promotion, but in my book, I think shooting for a smaller quality group of readers, then a huge mass of people is more where I am at. Milage may vary, I'm sure.
It sounds like the sort of casual fraud that megacorps routinely get away with.
It is the job of both of you. However the motivations are different. Over time one or the other will be more useful to follow.

Your manager needs you to bridge the gap between when the company was doing yesterday (this is what is making the money today), and what the company will do tomorrow. When your manager sees that next year they will need a skill and gets you to develop that skill they have your domain knowledge of the existing product to apply to the next thing and the whole gets done faster because of your experience and new skills.

You are responsible for yourself. If the next job is a variation on what you did today no training is required so he won't give it - it makes you less valuable to outsiders so you won't leave. Also because you are not growing he doesn't have to give you top raises to keep you from leaving - which is more money to give someone else who is better than you. The downside of this is you need to guess where the next big thing will be and sometimes you will be wrong.

Thanks for voicing the disparity. We want to pay at or above market so this big of a difference is concerning to me. As we state on every page that has our calculator, we would love to hear from people when we’re far off.

Can you maybe share what position you where considering and in what metro are you life?
Does if you realize the horizon for politicians in US is at most 4 years long; after that, it's most likely going to be someone else's problem.
That's kind of a snide answer though, right?

We need forums where close-minded people with calcified ideas can be challenged.

When there are new thinkers with challenging ideas, you are saying they can just go off in a separate space and talk only to other open minded people.

That's fine for them to do, but it's not enough in the sense that it doesn't reach the people it should. Closed minds can change, if challenged. If. Your suggestion doesn't achieve that.

I've been programming JS for a very long time and have learned to just stop trying to do a generic deep copy. Since JS is a dynamically typed language, it will always lead to issues down the road. Instead I write domain specific merge methods for whatever objects I'm merging.

function mergeOptions(...options) {
const result = {};

for (const opt of options) {
result = {
...result,
...opt
arrayValue: [
...(result.arrayValue || []),
...(opt.arrayValue || [])
],
deepObject: {
...result.deepObject,
...opt.deepObject
}
};
}

return result;
}

Know the shape of your objects and merging deeply becomes painless and won't have edge-cases.

I don't think you understand the motivation it's not a favor for employee it's a benefit to the company they don't want people who don't want to stick around purely because they pay highest wage for a given market.
But surely tax breaks vs subsidies should be calculated differently? That is, letting Amazon skip paying $2 billion in taxes over 10 years doesn't cost the city anything directly. So from your "purely fiscal point of view", then isn't it just the cost of the marginal person on the infrastructure and housing prices, etc, vs the taxes collected?

From the article, it looks like the city may actually pay up to $500 million in a "capital grant", but I'm not sure what form the rest of the subsidies are in.

That said, the article uses wording like "Ohio taxpayers sued the state after it paid the automaker DaimlerChrysler about $280 million in tax exemptions and tax credits" so my perspective might be wrong here. It just feels misleading to use the verb "paid" on tax credits to me. Like, if I bought a Tesla, and got the $7,500 tax credit, I wouldn't feel exactly like the government paid me anything. Sure it cost the government that much, in some sense, since I would have paid the government those taxes had I not been given the break, but that doesn't really apply to the Amazon case since they wouldn't have paid those taxes anyway, since they wouldn't be in that state.
It might be fun to come up with the probability of a worse case scenario, like parked on the crest of a hill in bumper to bumper traffic.

Although probably not practical to worry about in reality, there is some probability that all 200 cars you could see shine their lasers directly into your eyes at the exact same time. There is some probability of accidentally receiving a momentary higher than safe combined pulse from multiple vehicles.
There was no commitment, and there was no false information. How can there be fraud?

I do the same thing Amazon does all the time, to get the best price. I don’t need to be honest and tell the seller I’m using them to get someone else’s price down. Maybe I do go with the new seller if their price is good, maybe it’s not good enough to sway me from the other seller. It’s just business.
Interesting. It also looks like the number of precincts reporting hate crimes has gone up by ~5% as well. It looks like the population covered from the participation tables increased 5.7% from 2016 so per capita it looks like a ~11% increase which is pretty significant.

Interestingly anti-black, anti-gay and anti-Muslim are all down by % compared to 2016 numbers. anti-Protestant, anti-Mormon, anti-Semetic and, anti-Sikh increased by % (not necessarily by raw number)

Another interesting tidbit is that anti-male hate crimes tripled while anti-female hate crimes remained constant. (total count of both is < 50)

> Do you calculate the rate with accurate inputs for the specific candidate's location, or do you use the rough categorization of living areas that's in your online calculator?

My major criticism is they have some states where there is one rate of pay for the entire state. Oregon being the most egregious - it's my understanding the difference in COL in Portland versus a rural area in Oregon (or small town like Eugene) is a lot.
Tangential question: has anyone here used billboards before to advertise a web-based product or service? How did you track conversions (special phone number, url, sms address, etc)? Have you found them effective at targeting a particular segment of the market or for pushing a particular niche?
Putting two Woos on one board gives two different height readings. So they are not perfect.

They also mis-read jumps.

Just wondered if there was a different way of measuring height.

[edit] Boards fall off feet, then get washed around in the surf. This seems to fool the sensors quite a lot.
Your argument goes through just as well for the base language itself. What's the point of having a C standard at all? Since you could just port your compiler to any platform...
>If enough people believe the same, then such segregation will not happen

That's wishful thinking. Reality has shown that this isn't the case.

You can challenge them on it. Unless they shut down challenges. Which is what this system enables.
This might vary from OS to OS, but at least for many Unix-based systems, everything running in a kernel context shares the same address space, so shared libraries aren't that relevant. Shared libraries for user processes are still desirable for a variety of reasons (memory usage, not needing to reload shared libs into the cache after a context switch).
how is that probably illegal? For that to be fraud they would had to have contracts with the contestants the specify otherwise.
I think it's a mix really. I think there are a lot of founders who really believe that SF developers are worth the 2x (or more!) markup. Personally, I don't think it's true at all -- in fact, hot markets tend to attract people who want money, not people who are talented.

On the other hand, non-collocated teams are challenging and if you have very little experience running a team (as many young founders do) it might be wise to hire locally -- at least at the beginning. I think a lot of founders also probably underestimate the amount of time they'll need to get off the ground. So if they have $5M, it might seem OK to have a burn rate of $2M per year (I'm using pseudo-random numbers). They'll think, "If we can't get another big round in 2 1/2 years, then we might as well move on to something else". So they are willing to pay the money.
It could be that reporting of hate crimes rose as, due to the polarisation of politics, more people now consider certain opinions to be hate crimes. Last year the SPLC added anti-FGM campaigner Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Islamic reform advocate Maajid Nawaz to their list “anti-Muslim extremists”.
Running your own OS on real hardware is an accomplishment.
> To sum it up, you just lost a lot of people's respect on here by giving a bullshit answer to a serious question. You should've told the truth, people generally respond well to honesty. It is not unreasonable that a startup would want to reduce costs as much as possible. The BS response is just a turn off to most intelligent people though.

It was lose the respect of these people here - or his employees who they have to justify these policies to.
I believe they were calling out that companies have prejudice against older workers because they are vaccinated against hustle-baiting with low salaries/lots of 3rd class stock.
There is no "transition". What happens is your investors decide they want the latest recycled executive face to take the helm. That person usually goes for short term results at the expense of long term ones, because they'll be gone in a year or two and they don't know anything about the product anyway. And the cycle continues. To pretend it is some process you can navigate rationally is not healthy.
Who knows if their "way better" prices ever were sustainable, especially with their zoo of side-projects. Some people waited years for orders and never got them in the end.
"Sell" does not cover rent, trade, share, lease, give, etc. Period.

one of the reasons in play for the fentanyl and carfentanyl trafficking observed these days.

>If the price of all marijuana goes up, then I bet overall usage of it goes down

in high margin (and supply limited) goods i think it works in the opposite direction - the price goes up in response to the demand going up.
There's another problem here that isn't addressed by whether its a net plus revenue to the city. The tax break isn't applied across the board to all companies which means that Amazon is getting an unfair competitive advantage.

I don't really think of a company like Amazon needing a competitive advantage.

Really wish 3d lidar costs would come down. Everyone is designing for car performance and price points it seems. I have a ton of applications I could throw one of these on at 1k$.
Was coming to say the same thing. This list is absurd. Looking at 'Payments' they mark a branded Chase offering as a distinct business? It is a product offering, and would not be an independently viable business (not saying reselling credit cards in this way might not be). Same in 'Smart Home / Devices'. That group could be more reasonably considered one or two: "Home Automation" +/- Fire Tablet. Each of the rows there is a product.
Manual QA is a bitch.
So the point is that, being a democracy and subject to societal pressures, you can't assign that value to zero as that is unreasonable.
Nothing wrong with it really, especially since Redox bills itself as a research OS (at least it did last I checked) and not a contender for replacing desktops.

But I still share the original poster's disappointment in yet another UNIX-like system, especially at a time when, in my opinion, Personal Computing and the Desktop in particular are being driven towards extinction.
