I had a similar experience recently. It was also one of the scariest experiences of my life. Afterwards I spoke with my doctor about it, and they used the terms "anxiety attack" or "panic attack". In my case, it was brought on by a combination of eating poorly, drinking too frequently, sleeping irregularly, and letting myself become stressed out about work in my off hours. It was bad enough that I spent the following week in-patient at a hospital. That said, having three structured meals a day, sleeping regular hours, and not having my phone - I felt like a new person by the end of the week.

Not sure if this relates to your experience, but the lesson I learned was: Take real vacations. Where you are not tethered to your phone, social media, work calls, PagerDuty, social calls, etc. You can just eat, drink, sleep, breathe, and take in the moment. Even if it is just for a day, take time to remember what it means to be human.

You're off by several orders of magnitude. Last I checked, we're seeing 600,000+ regulations that have the force of law published _every_ year.
TL;DR Lack of cost controls and unnecessary administrative costs.

> In the U.S., they point out, drugs are more expensive. Doctors get paid more. Hospital services and diagnostic tests cost more. And a lot more money goes to planning, regulating and managing medical services at the administrative level.

So, we're all getting a lower quality of care for a lot more money, due to how the healthcare "market" is configured.

I was thinking the same because I am a programmer and it’s quite easy to find programming job in another area. But then I thought about other industries, dor example if I’m researcher about LED lights for 20 years, then my other options for another non-LED related job is very limited. So I’m confident that there are many example as this which can prove your logic (and my initial thinking too) wrong.

Google was clearly not strategically invested in Allo; as it was one of at least five messaging products? Duo, Allo, Hangouts, SMS app, the carrier RCS BS. As a consumer, when i see that, I know Google isn't going to continue doing all of those in two to three years, but I don't know which one they're going to keep, and it's not worth my social capital to get enough of my friends onboard to try it.

How can they assume this will not change how everything else works?

Yes. You can say statistically we did the comparison by holding everything else the same, but it only means "statistically". It definitely does not mean in reality you can hold everything else the same. There is no way when the policy changes, the system still works as before. This kind of study is totally delusional.

A policy works in other countries does not guarantee it will work in the U.S. For one thing, U.S. doctors make much more money than other countries. There are also other many differences. How can you assume you can simply move a policy successfully from other countries without making other important changes?

One problem here is the differential in power between employers and employee. An employee needs a job, as they need income. An employer probably has multiple applicants. If it's beneficial for all employers to have NCs (as it helps retain employees) it's not exactly a fair negotiation.

You’re talking about price. That’s not what Twain was talking about, read the statement.

In your example, Twain would have been the original creator and owner of the equalizer IP. He could have licensed that to one or all of the manufacturers, it’s his choice, so if he licensed to many manufacturers and one sells it for 94% cheaper the consumer has their choice, but whether you buy the generic or name brand the Creator is going to get paid a royalty for their idea no matter what.

But the law says after a term the government takes the creators idea and gives it to the public...but that’s not what happens, really what happens is the government takes the creators ideas and now says deep pocket business can now make money on the creators ideas....like in your example, you didn’t take the IP and make it, you bought it from another company who cut the creator out and they are making money.

Further what Twain would say is...well why doesn’t the government come and take the property of the manufacturer (like the actual land, building, machines) after a term, is there really any difference between Twain’s ideas that manifest into a book or the business owners ideas that manifest into the business (land/building/machines).
But that's the great thing about economic incentives. By requiring a minimum compensation for employees who sign an NCA, you're incentivizing the company to only push for NCAs in situations where the benefit to the company outweighs the cost to society.

(And I think it's unlikely that most people would choose to sit on their butts and collect their 60% salary, as opposed to taking that compensation and also finding a new job that doesn't directly compete with their old one. So the overall harm to society doesn't seem that severe.)
Will you also confirm whether or not the heat that you’re feeling is actually causing tensions? I’m having a hard time grasping if this article is simply sourcing disgruntled employees.

This is why the scope of government matters.

I do not understand why people have this idea that it's the job of the government to do things like speculate on the economy via quantitative easing, or save money overall on healthcare costs. The federal government ought to have a few simple jobs --- the ones laid out in the constitution, and everything else can be left up to the people and to the states.

I would rather live in a country where healthcare maybe costs more than it otherwise could, and where the economy maybe recovers slower than it otherwise would have, than to live in a country where the government takes lots of our money trying to fulfill promises that it cannot keep.

Medicare is projected to be insolvent in 2026, and Social Security is projected to be insolvent 8 years later. We're due for an economic downswing in the next few years (if not the next few months). Our economy will not keep up with the developing world powers; NATO is increasingly irrelevant and the petrodollar is threatened.

What are we going to tell the people who depend on these dying programs? "I know that you worked your whole life in a factory, and I know that you are too old to work, and I know that you paid into this system your entire career, and I know you aren't getting enough to get by. But we had the best intentions in mind!"

America is rich because we won WWII, not because of American Exceptionalism. The comfortable life that American culture was built on (while the rest of the world needed half a century to recover) is going away quickly. The social programs that we already have in place have less than 6,000 days remaining before they fall apart, and in these last hours, we're seriously talking about adding on?

No thanks. I'm okay with living in a poor country. I'd prefer for my government to not fail as a result, though.

What's the "one tool" for Java? Is it Maven? Ivy? sbt? Gradle? You may say some of those are "build tools" rather than dependency tools, but I don't see how it's different than what we are discussing in Python.

My Java app declares its dependencies in a build.sbt file using Scala syntax and has them cached in an Ivy directory. Yours declares them in a pom file using XML syntax and has them cached in a Maven directory. Neither of us even tries to do lockfiles and instead just has the CI server build an "uber jar" with all the dependencies bundled in.
> If you have an infinite space of particle parameters and a series of tests keeps eliminating large swaths of this space, at some point it feels like you're playing a god of inbetweens game a la creationists arguing using gaps in the fossil record.

Or you're getting closer to finding out what the real parameters are?

If you eliminate all possibilities and have to make up some new parameters, sure, that feels like you're not doing science and might as well be a creationist. But what you describe, narrowing down the space of possible explanations from infinitely many to only a few, is the dream of every theoretical physicist.
So you would trust a random baseband chip to never ever in a thousand years lie to you about the success or failure of its operation or its internal status? Or to behave in an unexpected way that interferes with the core function of the device? E.g. by suddenly sending random junk to the main CPU?

They basically turned the game into a testbed for extremely exploitative practices. It's been a while since I walked away in disgust, but one example I remember is the crates system.

Essentially, they added "item drops" called crates. These crates do absolutely nothing unless you spend $2.50 to buy a key to open them with. It's basically an extremely insulting lootbox model.

Aside from turning the game into a hat simulator, they also introduced loads of game-breaking straight upgrade weapons for you to grind for, and continually piled them on over the years, often just taking community-supplied models and slapping stats on them. At some point they even tried to add full sets of expensive cosmetic items that would give you straight stat bonuses when worn, which even they had to back down from.

I've never seen more aggressive monetization while ruining the base product than I saw Valve apply to TF2, hence my surprise at your impression that Valve wasn't capable of money grubbing. In the case of TF2, they were somehow actually worse than Activision-Blizzard.

Targeting native because it's fundamentally a less thorny issue. To an approximation, all you do is take the JIT compilation pipeline and use it to do an AOT compilation instead.

Targeting JavaScript because people expect different things out of it. The goal there is to transpile some portion of your code to run on the browser. There's not the same expectation that you'll be able to truck Spring or Akka along with you. The expectation is that the transpiled code is mostly only going to interact with the DOM and other JavaScript libraries, plus maybe whatever subset of your business objects you feel the need to have on both the client and server side.

By contrast, the only real use case I can see for porting Scala to .NET is so that you can bring a bunch of pre-existing Scala libraries with you and then interface them with some pre-existing .NET codebase. If you're not looking for that, you'd probably be willing to satisfy yourself with either F# or the JVM.
This is very similar to what you describe, except it's used to specify character variants (but one could reasonably define "bold", "italic" etc as variants...)

NC are antithetical to natural rights because they are slavery. If there is payment contingent on performance, than there isn't slavery. Given payment is required, firms that would ask for NC go way down.
In the documentary "Requiem for an American Dream", Noam Chomsky mentions the elite class tirelessly lobbying over decades for funding cuts programs to social security because they don't benefit the rich. The attitude that you expressed is similar.

What is legal is not always fair, and what is fair is not always legal.
I’m not convinced NCs are always bad for workers. There are lots of junior SWEs out there who can’t get jobs because no company wants to hire them and pay to train them just to watch them leave for more money once they become productive.

There was once a time when I would have happily signed an NC since the alternative was unemployment.

> So they just heard about Vine, and decided to deprecate the API the same day?

No? Where are you getting this read from? The documents clearly show them discussing it from a year prior to shutting down Vine's API access, and planning on announcing it publicly ~6 months prior.

I can't find anything from a quick google search on when the API deprecation actually took effect, but assuming the timeline from Exhibit 43 is accurate, Twitter actually had whitelisted access for over 3 months before being shut down.
You know how people have been warning us about unrestrained AI? We already have it, and "the press" is an example of one (so is facebook).

The press is a gestault that can ultimately take actions beyond what any individual component is capable of taking. Facebook is a threat to the press, and of course it is working to protect itself.

The problem was when we gave the press access to the internet. It was capable of acting more quickly than it was before.

Can you give an example of a language variance policy that is 1) sound, and 2) cannot be mapped onto CLR variance declarations?

I'll grant you that it's possible to come up with policies that are not sound (e.g. covariant mutable collections, like both Java and .NET do with built-in arrays) that cannot be so mapped. But how many languages have run into this as an issue in practice?

By far the most common policy, in any case, is "no variance", which maps just fine. And you don't need to support variance to consume .NET interfaces that do have variance declarations, for the reasons I have explained in my earlier comment - so it doesn't really affect interop.
The problem with these papers is there is no compilers to perfectly test the logic except peer review so no one knows if its horse shit or not until someone comes along and comes up with some way to prove it wrong, so I would not be so quick to say “if that’s an obvious contradiction, the author would have caught it”
Garden leave is better than nothing because it at least puts a cost on an employer but it's very situational.

For still others, it's a big speed bump in their careers and, anyway, how are they going to pay their mortgage and their kid's college?

The real question about self driving cars though and safety isn't about how much practice these vehicles have, but when they get in an accident, are people inside them still safe. If the computer gets screwed up in an accident, could it end up accelerating randomly all over the place, pull itself to the side of the road and do a safety check of the people inside.

It's also very possible that there is a safer design for a car than having people sit right in front of huge glass panels.
