I agree with your sentiment but generally disagree in practice. The reality is I get 100's of applications that are nowhere near qualified for positions I've listed. We're talking like recent grads applying for a VP of E-commerce (~10 years exp on the spec).
Considering Anti-Fragility (Deep Code)
Can’t agree more. I experience and changed a lot when I was in my early 20s. Now life moves slowly.
Not dissing the general message. Startups can be brutal, but still. Dude is 22 and claims having seen more hardship than others. Try dealing with raising kids, health issues, sick family members, dying friends, mid life (all of which will probably happen as you near the age 40) and a startup will look like a pleasant distraction from the actual hard stuff in life.

I,d say enjoy being 22, don’t take yourself to seriously and reflection will come with age.

But let's assume you mean 'figured out life'. I used to think that people knew what they were doing as they were getting older.

When my OS updates the bootloader it stores in the EFI system partition, I want that data to be RAIDed. I set the EFI boot order to use the first disk's EFI system partition then the second disk's. Because at the OS level they are RAIDed and because I put the mdadm metadata at the ends of the disks, the UEFI firmware sees them as normal GPT partitions (with the secondary GPT partition table corrupted at the end of the disk due to mdadm data). When the EFI firmware runs, it should only be performing reads from either of the disks and even if one entire disk is dead it can still boot the system.

Depends on the voting mechanism and game theory.

Starting with the game theory:
If the TCR shows a specific bias (ie: political inclination) or some form of censorship, less people will want to own the token because the "fairness" promise is broken and that should reduce the token price.

If the curated items (newsrooms in this case) have low adoption (few people use tokens to purchase viewing rights) then the tokens will lose value too.

For token holders this should motivate them to be judicious in their curation efforts.

The voting mechanism also plays a significant part on the whole system. Traditional TCRs use a partial lock commit reveal scheme that allows us to find the Schelling point for a challenge.

Personally I'm quite partial to other voting systems that reduce the impact of token ownership disparity like the one Glen Weyl, Buterin and others have called "Liberal Radical" and its simpler root the quadratic voting mechanism. The way this works is that only the square root of voter's balance counts as voter's voting "weight". So 1 vote costs 1 token but 2 votes cost 4 tokens and those with less "power" have a higher representation relative to their balances.

Oh, was it? A good reason for me to watch it again, I haven't watched that one in ages.
On the other hand, you keep doing what you're already doing.

I have a really high ratio of interview / job offers, but that's because I choose to apply for jobs where I had nearly 100% of the requirements.

I think this was a mistake. I should have taken more risks, try to apply for more challenging jobs that aren't completely in my comfort zone.
I have the opposite experience. And still managed to surround myself with like-minded people. What did I do? I did what the op wrote:

> I find goals that excite me, and I dedicate every molecule in my body towards achieving this goal.

I did this for many things. And I finally connected the dots.
> A trick is if you can spin off a job into a contract, into a larger contract, etc, with the same customer(s), ideally people who may move to larger companies, and carry the relationship with them.

Similar story for me. I had what I thought of as a temp job Client #1. The CTO of Client #1 liked the work I was doing & introduced me to the CEO of Client #2. I was like, "hey, am I allowed to work for 2 companies at once", and they were like "sure!". And that's how my brain flipped from temping to consulting.
Completely agree with you, and was going to comment the same.

Perhaps at 22 you don't have the full perspective of what life can be. I certainly didn't at that age (now I'm 41 and I guess I have a better perspective for sure).
It's funny how obvious some people make it that they don't want business. I don't really care about power plugs or wifi when I visit a café (my battery running out is a great motivator + natural time limit, I can tether to my phone for internet) but I always pay close attention to how a new café is outfitted.

Some cafés that genuinely want your business make plugs available to the customers, some will even go as far as to put in plugs with USB adapters as well because they are making it clear: I want you to be here. Other places have no special extra plugs (just what you'd expect for a room that size) and that's fine, but some places have intentionally NO plugs and that's not an accident, that's by design.

Same thing with the wifi policy. I don't care if you have wifi, or don't have wifi, but if you aggressively block ~50% of all sites, seemingly at random, or have a time limit on usage…the message it clear, you only have Wifi so you can say "we have wifi" but you don't really mean it.

I only hope to patronize places that are welcoming, even if I'm not relying on those facilities that day. Those are the kinds of places I want to stay in business.

The kinds of places with limited internet and no plugs are the kinds of places that I don't want to be in business tomorrow, so I had better make sure not to give them a penny today.
I can remember feeling similarly at his age and expressing myself similarly. I think others here shouldn’t fault him for behaving in a manner commensurate with his age and experience level. This guy will mature over time. He will some day be 40 and if he keeps learning like this he might be pretty successful. You could use this opportunity to get to know him.

Maybe this understates the wealth level of South Pasadena, which would have been significantly affected by that final leg of the 710. South Pasadena is relatively well off compared to many other areas of the county, has a good school district, some rather nice craftsman era homes, a little bit of old money, attractive retail zones, convenient location to downtown, nice hillside geography, etc.

Though not Beverly Hills or Santa Monica, South Pasadena is an independent city with a largely middle to upper middle class population. So, in a way, it's not surprising that it succeeded in killing that final leg of the 710.

Personally, I wish the 710 had been completed. It would have benefited a lot of people.
I'm not a hiring manager by any means, but if OP wants to check if this is the case, couldn't he have a friend call up his employers/references to see if one of them is saying bad things? I think it may be a smart way to go.
Yes, they focussed on business later on. In the years before it was also very much a consumer show.

But since consumers started to buy their PC stuff online, at even better prices, the consumer part died little by little.

And you're side-stepping the point that many people are making here, which is that being an Alphabet subsidiary means that they're subsidized by Google's ad business. It's concerning that massive public health projects -- of the sort that used to be undertaken largely by governments and non-profit NGOs -- are now undertaken by a company that got rich off advertising and the owners have decided to reinvest in such ventures. Ostensibly, if the US government goes out and decides to eliminate malaria, they are accountable to people for how they do this. As long as Verily is under the Alphabet umbrella, it's not even a private firm, it's a wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet. They can write all the mission statements they want, so long as Google continues to provide advertising revenue in sufficient quantity to cover the losses of Alphabet's "other bets," the only accountability for what Verily does is to advertisers and the shareholders of an adtech firm.

That applies to every culture, ever, and I have a hard time identifying some "California culture" that encompasses the state. The difference is that in California, the people who don't want it largely outnumber the people who want it more than in most places.

I've read articles that talk about that debate. Indeed, I tend to agree that development to support denser population is often an environmental net win over the immediate local environmental impacts, but I suppose it should be case-by-case.
I can relate to him. I used to think that adulthood was a permanent state, that I would feel the same age at 30 as I did at 20. That is not the case, I feel exactly the age that I am and I learned just as much in my last ten years as I did in the ten years prior.

I don't know if it truly protects them from damage overall. That would take science. See "complicated" below :)

But the basic answer to your question is, no, it doesn't double the sound energy.

To the extent the headphones are successful at creating an inverse sound to cancel incoming sound, that will reduce the sound energy reaching the inner ears. The sound and its "mirror" don't add up to increase energy, rather, the energy reaching the ears is reduced where waves cancel.

(The same thing happens in, say, optical interference patterns, and coastal waves. All the energy which seems to mysteriously disappear where waves cancel is, in fact, accounted for by increasing at the places the same waves interfere contructively. In the case of headphones, it's going to be rather more subtly accounted for either elsewhere in the spatial pattern around and on the speaker, and/or by the speaker acting as a net energy absorber.)

Active noise-cancellers also have a passive component. The big squishy cups on mine (Bose QC-35). These of course reduce incoming sound energy too.

But it's more complicated than that. Ears have a sort of physical volume control of their own (using tiny muscles), which reacts to the sound level. As far as I'm aware, damage is more likely deeper in the ear, past that stage.

So anything which alters the ear's coarse volume response might produce a more complicated damage response than simply measuring incoming levels would suggest.

I apply that theory: I sometimes listen to music on the headphones, in high volume environments. This seems to mask out the environmental noise better, and my theory is this isn't just psychoacoustic masking, it's causing my ears to block out more sound physically, helping to protect them physically. When doing this I listen to music which has a consistent sound level, rather than, say, a podcast or something subtle like classical.

I've read that noise-cancellers produce a hiss which annoys some people. I can't say I've noticed much volume to the hiss, and I used to assume it was residual signal from the signal processing. But it may be that's intended to interact with the ear muscles too.
The architectural style and decorations are part of the problem as the article says. An equally big one though is, as you say, the apparent need to have blaring music, TVs, etc. just about every place.

I was just at an event a month or so ago that had a DJ in the exhibit hall blasting music at a volume that was actively preventing people from having easy conversations. Which is sort of the purpose of being there. Not listening to some DJ who apparently has to work corporate events to pay the rent but nonetheless thinks people are there to listen to him.

After complaining to the organizers, they turned things down a bit but this is a pervasive problem. Even when I'm eating by myself, I still find the music in some restaurants both annoyingly loud and not what I would consider pleasant background music for a meal.
Business is hard when you get emotionally invested. Otherwise it’s just work. As I’ve gotten older I feel like the latter perspective has helped me handle the challenges better and make better decisions.

The more I look at my business as “just work” and not some egotistical search for meaning the better I am at it.

> there are many many many citizens in Afghanistan that long to have the US back with a significant presence

Which would be true of any military force that invaded, slaughtered hundreds of thousands and then pulled out leaving a power vacuum.

The US didn't go into Afghanistan to save people from car bombs.

If the US has somehow done you a favour as a result of its wars of aggression, it's a complete coincidence.

> It's not easy sleeping when a car bomb just went off outside your house and it was targeted at you for not being a religious hardliner..

Sounds like Iraq and the rise of ISIS doesn't it? Another US war of aggression that left hundreds of thousands dead along with a power vacuum filled by religious extremists.
"Sigh" just indicates you couldn't care less about a contradicting opinion. Why should anyone discuss anything with you/care about what you have to say when your default mode is to disregard critique?
I can't make assumptions as to whether you or the gp have kids, but I didn't have my first until 37 and the second last year at 41. For me personally, having kids was the single most trans formative experience of my life with regards to how I have to examine my life and the world around me. Nothing before that came anywhere close, perhaps if I had lost a parent/sibling when I was younger or had enlisted after 9/11 I could say something else was in the same league, but as it stands, kids in my late 30s is it for me :)

I wasn't even aware this was a thing. I live in Phoenix. I thought you meant some sort of pest control, like a company coming out to a house to give a quote on an isolated problem.

Instead, a truck literally "comes by" and sprays the area, like a bug street-sweeper. Fascinating.
It was a rhetorical device. Going to the manufacturer's dealer is something I can't ever do, because I don't have "just get it done" money.

No matter how you structure the deals, cars flow one way, and money flows the other way. Everyone involved in supplying the car has to get paid, and that money ultimately comes from customers. Everyone you see in the business is ultimately being paid something by you. Everyone you don't see that is facilitating the purchase process is ultimately being paid something by you. Financing from a manufacturer-captive company is only added to the sales business because it results in more total money flowing from customer to car business. It enables higher sale prices on the cars. The business has to make money somehow, or it stops existing, because those people handling money and reviewing paperwork have to be paid, too, and if they don't get paid, they leave.

Comparing the costs of loans of varying interest rates is just a time value of money calculation. It is easy to offer a zero-interest loan, by pre-computing the value of the interest you otherwise would have charged, and adding it to the principal at the start.

If you buy a car for $12000 with no down payment and a 24 payments at 0%, that's $250/month and a total cost of $12000. If you get a loan for $9250 for 24 months at 4% and make a $2000 down payment, that's ~$209/month and a total cost of ~$12032. If you make even a single payment earlier than scheduled, you will end up paying less.

When you are offered a 0% loan, know that the interest you would have been paying is probably implicitly being added to the purchase price up front, as a means of paying for the lending. You would be well justified in pressing for a discount for paying in cash (or bringing your own financing), and you will have more leverage to do so, because the dealer will not know exactly how much is in your budget.
Yeah I've used it on OS X. It renders fast and is the most responsive terminal I've tried (alacritty, iTerm2, Terminal.app). Its font rendering isn't super optimal, and it's a little rough (no hotkeys for zooming, etc.), but it's really your only option if lag bothers you.

Nowadays I just use terminal in gvim. It solved like all of my problems. Should've known Vim would save me again haha.
