> At a certain point --- maybe not today, but probably some day soon --- it'll be irresponsible to tell people at the margins of software skill or enthusiasm to enter the field, because such a person will be able to expect only low-paid work in bad conditions, forever, just like a marginal lawyer today. But timing the market doesn't work, so who knows when that day will be? It could be tomorrow.

Is it not already irresponsible to ourselves to tell people at the margins to enter the field?

To me the diagnosis of depression is too vague in modern society. There should be a subcategory attached to the word: past-trauma, lack of finances, loneliness, nihilistic, pessimistic, cognitive abnormality, physical abnormality, social cause "surrounded by assholes",...

Currently the medical field from my perception, prefers ignorance to the external forces effecting the person by just labeling someone with depression. There is always a cause to why a person suffers misery or simply is in pain. In acquiescence the patient just takes the label, takes a prescription and becomes unaware to the underlining problem.
Ignoring disreputable journals from China is one thing, but I doubt any serious scientist would claim there are not incredible advances coming from that country.

We now have a little more data courtesy of chess.com's computer tournament.

Starting from the final position of Game 12, the engines have played 18 games to completion against each other, with more to come. 10 draws, 6 wins for Black and 2 for White.

Both of the wins for White picked up the game from the point of the draw with

32. Qa3 Rb8

and continued with White, soon after, aiming to play Nd1 and Nc3 (Stockfish went for those on moves 34 and 35, Ethereal on moves 35 and 37).

This is apparently exactly the line Carlsen said he was worrying about.

The position also seems to present some pretty tricky endgames. Laser, which has a rating 300 points higher than Carlsen's and gets to play with tablebase, managed to lose as Black that way.

(Caruana also suggested he might have tried to get a knight to e6; the engines have drawn a few times starting with that line)

It wasn’t too long ago (the 90s?) when all foreigners were thought to be spies and needed minders to travel outside of big cities. It is obviously much better now, but not all of that sentiment has washed out (see recent Beijing subway posters encouraging girls not to spill state secrets to foreign boyfriends).

I’m not really sure when someone would say bias has crossed over into xenophobia, they are not very distinguishable anyways.

Not a particularly easy solution, but you can use dynamo streams to achieve this by loading fast into a temporary table, trickle-feeding via a stream into another table. When it’s caught up, stop writes on the import table then swap over to the permanent table.

A way of doing this without expending all that effort is oh my wish list too.
That's because the libraries come from the same source and work together. Rust/cargo is it's own little universe ignoring the rest of the system.

That’s a shame. If I were black, I’d probably like to advocate doing what other ascendant groups have done, build from within, support from within till some parity is achieved. Now, of course, it shouldn’t have to be this way, but current efforts don’t seem to be working as expected.

It’s imperative that every American have an opportunity to succeed, if we are going to remain an innovative and vibrant economy.

We already rely heavily, maybe too much on imported (skilled) labor when we have so much available locally, domestically, but we’re not developing it from cradle to contributor to society very well. So this is a bummer.
I kind of like the idea of not doing summer breaks. When I studied CS in Europe, we had extremely stressful months due to people cramming in massive courseloads because of holiday seasons. Even really good students had to put in insane time if they wanted to finish their degree on time.

Also, the applied curriculum is probably not a bad idea either, though, don't almost all CS programmes have rather large semester-long projects? We had to design a multi-threaded OS with networking, a basic 3D rasterizerers/raytracer, distributed chat app and a simple compiler and a whole lot of other things. I guess those aren't directly useable in industry though.

But yeah, the idea is solid, as there is certainly a mismatch between academia and industry; I don't really use my advanced skills all that often and I often fear that my degree was a waste of time, even if I enjoyed it. I kind of regret not choosing a field like EE, where education is valued and there are no 'bootcamps'.

I've done a similar setup, working part time remote doing freelance web development for the last several years. My one paragraph answer:

The book The E-Myth makes the point that people fall into this trap: I've been doing a technical skill as an employee (coding). I could just quit my job and do that skill myself! Problem is once you go out on your own, you have to become the CEO, manager, and coder of your little enterprise.

In short, you have to learn business skills. Specifically, marketing, positioning, negotiation, people skills, etc. The more you know about these the easier freelancing is. Coding chops are absolutely necessary, but not sufficient.

The reason sites like Upwork are saturated and pay low rates is because everyone on there is basically acting like an employee and Upwork is serving as a stand in for the boss. People on Upwork are "PHP developers" and "Wordpress developers" and "Javascript developers". These get commodity prices because in many ways they _are_ commodities. Valuable commodities yes. In demand commodities yes. But commodities nonetheless.

Don't compete on Upwork, build your own pipeline. This will require selecting a target market, going out and actually speaking to them, and finding out what their business problems are. Nobody needs a "Wordpress site". But lots of people need a site to sell their product, market their service, etc.

I'm relatively convinced that any person who can combine competence in programming with competence in sales can do anything they want.

One of my favorite really accessible introductions to this idea of selling something that isn't a commodity is Sean D'Souza's The Brain Audit. Read it in one sitting and then change all the copy on your website to be targeted to solving the client's problems instead of what technologies you know.

Happy to chat with more about this - my email's in my profile. Cheers!

If you're looking for a strategy game that doesn't suffer from this, try Age of Empires II. At least I don't find the game tiring at the end; in fact I find it more exciting. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that most online AoE II games are 1 hour long, whereas Civ, Factorio, etc. take dozens of hours and weeks to complete.
madoff allowed withdrawals too
Of course the same is true for any bank or bank-like entity, all the way up the chain to the Federal Reserve.

I don't know a lot about Bitfinex, but it seems that the relevant questions are:

1) If you have "X U.S. dollars on deposit at Bitfinex", how easy is it to transfer that balance to an external account? (Maybe possible with a fee?)

2) Can you withdraw the balance in person directly for USD cash? (lol)

3) Does the federal government offer any type of legal guarantee/protection/insurance for the balance? (Hahahahah)

If anyone knows the answers to these, I'm genuinely curious.

Edit: I somehow missed the first part of your post that established the context as NOT being able to redeem the balance for USD. Obviously the ability to redeem your balance on demand for cash is pretty much the defining characteristic of a (solvent) bank, as opposed to say your friend Bob owing you money.
Joining a startup was death for my creative side projects. I get to be much more creative at work now than I used to but it's still work, and a lot more of it.
> Because it’s a waste of somebody’s time and their money if we’re just recreating something for them that already exists.

A waste of their money, yes; but that someone is being paid a share of that money for their time. Therefore, unless that someone is underpaid, then how is this a waste of that someone's time? And more importantly, unless the new client is underpaying, then why does the client's waste-of-money matter to the speaker of this quote?

> > I'm not going to call the cops for anything less than assault.

> I'm glad you're not the majority. Because the world would be pretty shitty if all the police responded to was physical assaults and above.

Only ancentotal, I know, but every time I have called the cops for any reason in my life, the situation was arguably made worse for everyone present... In some cases, severely so.

In m several cases, the threat of deadly force was brought into cases where nothing but a stern hand was needed. In one, it almost resulted in the death of the person that was actually doing the most to help the situation.

I will never again call the police for any reason unless I think with some certainty that a life will be lost if I dont.

Why is everyone so focused on pigeon holing languages like this? There was a time when I wrote web services in C, then C++, a little Perl, and mostly Java. Then we needed dynamic pages and turned to Javascript, and now that’s on the backend with node.

Personally I love Rust. I would choose to use it for web development top to bottom at this point, even with the current limitations of WASM (which is getting better) on the client side.

I’ve never used a language that can be brought to bear from the top of the stack to the bottom with the safety that Rust brings.

That’s of course me, and I wouldn’t force others to use it. I can finally use one language for everything, and that makes me happy. It’s entirely up to you to choose your language, and if you want to use a new one that has growing communities in each of these area, Rust is a great one to choose.
> Students will on average pay ~$100k for their degree, but because they enter the workforce 2 years sooner they also have $200k more earnings than their peers (pre-tax/tuition). From a net-worth standpoint, this ends up being comparable to getting a full ride at a 4 year institution.

Perhaps avoid going into specifics next time.

Is it true to say that earlier graduation makes it cheaper? Yes.

Is it true to say that a graduate can gain additional work experience while others study? Yes.

But you went way too far (pre-tax dollars, no cost of living, assumptions about $100K income/year, and equivocating it to a full ride at a normal college). Arguments like that sound like the sales pitches at Phoenix and other sketchy degree programs, and you definitely don't want to be associated with that.

$70K/year is what many would pay for in-state including living on campus. It is definitely on the high end (although I don't know if it is more normal in California).
Looks like you're interested in this topic! There's always room to think deeper. Here's some prompts.

Why do police act this way?

Have they always acted this way or did something change?

Are police different from other people, that is do they have an innate propensity to act the way they do, or are they conditioned to act this way by their experiences?

What sort of job experiences do police have? Have the experiences of policing changed in recent times, and why?

What systemic factors contribute to the problem? What social factors contribute to the problem?

Thanks to the miracle of the internet, there are many great resources to see the kind of situations real police must routinely navigate. This youtube channel is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMYxKMh3prxnM_4kYZuB3g (NSFW, violent content)
I studied Spanish for years but never really learned it until I was immersed for a few months. Now that I don’t use it often I find it to be a struggle to retain.

I’ve been toying with language apps myself. I still think there’s a place for apps. For example, I have an iOS Word Search game for several languages:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/h4labs-word-search/id1311744...

I’m toying with other ideas. Basically, ways to entertain oneself for short periods of time.
I think you underestimate the resources needed to do this. There is literally not enough energy or matter in the universe to enumerate all the possible wallet private keys. 'rainbow tables' are not useful here (they save you from having to do this impossible task more than once...). You can attack private keys which have not been generated properly, such that there is a sufficiently small number of candidates (broken or malicious RNG usage or deriving the private key directly from a user-created password), but a general brute-force attack on even a random well-created wallet is utterly infeasible.

Now, securing the storage of the private key is a much more difficult problem, and the fact that it is so easy to lose access to your funds (by losing the storage medium it is stored on without having backups) or have them stolen (through phishing, viruses, etc) is a legitimate criticism of bitcoin, at least for the general user who is ill-equipped to deal with a piece of data which is worth so much but both must be secret and cannot be lost.
Ironically, you are totally wrong in your choice of example. Starting in 2017, Harvard admissions became majority-minority, with whites making up just under 50%, and most or all minority race students (including black) being over-represented compared to the general population.
You can't even hang your laundry out to dry. All in the name of freedom.
It's not just about the equipment the police force use, it's also about the training. Given military equipment, the police force will also get military training matching the equipment they get. Military knowledge and tactics should not be used used to police a civilian population.

Thank you for standing up to this.

> There is nothing keeping these people from doing this by themselves: stay home and do nothing (don't tend to household chores, or anything else, just to what you decided in advance to do, like reading or writing) if home is too busy, head down to the library and again, do what you planned to do, or a hotel and same.

Except, y'know, rent, property tax, the price of food...keeping the heat on, being able to afford gas, maintaining social relationships...it's almost like there's a lot of factors in this.
Indeed, but most nations/governments are so deeply entrenched in "free trade" that they can't just transition directly to "fair trade" (for some definition of "fair"...) without going through the "no free trade" stage first. Anyways, let's hope it continues in this direction and doesn't derail along the way.

> This is only an issue for the people who survived the bomb first hand. It's not like their grandkids are going to suffer radiation sickness.

Huh? No, not radiation sickness as such, but future generations being more prone to have cancer, being born with defects and such. This isn't that hard.

Also, you reply reeks of thinking that I accept the premise that the U.S. seriously considered other options and ruled them out in the first place. It's pretty evident that they wanted to see if the bomb really works and even avoided bombing with conventional weapons, so they may use the nuclear option later.

I know this doesn't sound good and doesn't fit into the simplistic narrative everyone wants to imagine, but that's not my problem.
Only a couple of months ago (second time I tried, both times same issue). This was on Android btw. To be clear I meant the push notification on my own device didn't work (reading back I can see what I said could be misinterpreted). I suspect it had something to do with aggressive background process management but even switching everything to low power efficiency settings/ always on didn't work consistently. I've moved on.

Here's the outrage:

if the police have armored vehicles, that means that they perceive a need for armored vehicles. When officers walk past them, they are reminded that they are needed. When officers are inside them, they feel simultaneously invulnerable and threatened -- all this armor means that someone must want to kill them.

From the other side, a community that sees MRAPs going past has to believe that there's a need for armored protection for the police -- so there must be a corresponding threat from armed criminals. The affluent parts of the community perceive more of a threat, and the disadvantaged part of the community has solid evidence that the police are an occupying military force, not protection.

In other words, the presence of the MRAPs creates a problem for everyone. It escalates tension.

ITAR is pretty limited in what it considers intelligence/military. Unless you're looking for missile launches or doing remote sensing with technologies that are better than what's available to the general public, it probably won't apply. There's plenty of interesting things you can do without running afoul of ITAR/USML definitions.

Some telemetry and sensor data may be EAR99, which is as far as export restrictions go is about as nonrestrictive as it gets. For example iTunes is EAR99— that's why the EULA says you're not allowed to use it to develop nuclear or biological weapons.
Even if you subscribe to the viewpoint that private health insurance is the way to go, why dont they give people the money and then let them buy their own insurance? For the reason you just mentioned - people need a way to be free of an employer even if it costs them a lot in insurance bills.
