Even in the most expensive areas in the world, this is a life-changing amount of money. Assuming that as you said this money is post-tax and you're not going to pull large pieces of it out to pay off debts, you're looking at conservatively being able to pull off $300k+ a year, every year, without touching the principal (assumes a 4% annual withdrawal).

I can only speak to what I would do as a 32 year old without kids. I'd follow the top comment and basically pause for a year. No big purchases, no extravagant vacations, keep working if you enjoy your job. Without touching it that amount of money is only going to get even bigger. And I'd find an estate attorney and fee-for-service financial adviser that I trust.

After that, chances are I'd retire. This is nearly 1% level money (in terms of income you can pull off it's like 90% of the way there). But it really depends what your goals are. This is truly enough where your kids would not have to work. You could work for a non-profit if there are causes you care deeply about. You could donate half of it and keep your job and still be in the $300k/yr+ club.

You could also risk it all and start a business or start investing in others' businesses. The world is your oyster at this point, man.
Is it true that every other forces besides gravity is polarised? There's a repulsive nuclear strong force and an attractive nuclear weak force?

EDIT: Partial answer is that there is a three-"color" polarization for strong force. I feel like it somewhat weakens the argument of "everything else is polarized, why not gravity" if the other forces are polarized in unique ways.
I see your point, but i'd love to see a peer reviewed study to back up the claim that "it's better to have over-worked doctors and nurses than to introduce more handoffs".

It's a problem going the other way too. I drive an older vehicle and rented a car. I nearly had to ask the attendant how to start the car. Then I was entirely surprised when I stopped at a light and the engine turned off.

> Ask your doctor (and nurses!) to keep you informed and educated about your situation. You're responsible for yourself. Medicine isn’t always intuitive, especially if you’re not yourself yet.

This mentality is fundamentally flawed. We don't allow truck drivers to drive for more than 11 hours a day because lack of sleep impairs your cognitive ability. But we're expecting patients recovering with potentially days without rest to make informed decisions?

A counter to your example...

When my youngest was born, my wife had complications with delivery due to high blood pressure. They refused to release her or the baby until two conditions were met. One was that her blood pressure was lowered and the other was that the baby put on a % of weight. Without intervention neither would have been released. I had to pull the care team aside during a group visit to ask them:

"Is high blood pressure a symptom of insomnia?" Yes

"Is a REM cycle 90 minutes?" Yes

"Have we had more than 45 minutes in recovery without your staff waking my wife?" No

They left us alone for 3 hours straight and magically her blood pressure returned to normal.

We then had to have the attending pediatrician point out to them that the medications given during labor caused water retention and that apart from the lack of weight gain, the child was 100% on track and doing extremely well.

The hospital we were at, Emory, is highly regarded but their whole system seemed to be fundamentally flawed because it didn't take into account the continuous interrupts. Or rather there was no distinction between 3 uninterrupted hours of rest and four 45 minute periods of rest.

I don't know that Windows would run without the licensed code, or at least Explorer. If they didn't bother to write their own ZIP library (or use an open-source one) then they probably licensed a lot of other stuff that one would expect a first-class desktop is to have, making it unusable without a bunch of developers fixing it (when their company would probably buy them a license anyway).

If it was released without the third-party code, then it'd be a research project, which'd be pretty neat but not something most probably expect from "Windows is open source".
Yes, I would like someone here to provide an answer to this question.

For example: We're just wrapping up a new release of one of our products that I've been working on since August of 2017. It has over 1400 hours of work dedicated to it (single developer - myself). There's no way that we could possibly dedicate that amount of time to a software project without knowing that we could recoup the costs.

7 Tips to Write Better Java Code You Should Know
Is there a service that can do the second?
> Can you clarify, if I add a JS line to my file, I should version that JS file as a never-ever-changing static asset to be cached?

It only has to be cached as long as there exist deployments that need to reference it. But as long as there exist references to it, the content at the referenced address should not change. So yes, you should version that file -- or that deployment as a whole, if you'd rather not get that fine-grained -- but it only has to be "never-ever-changing" up to the point that nobody's observing it anymore.

If you only officially maintain one version, you'd want to keep the one prior for the sake of smooth deployment. Just document your support policy so downstream consumers aren't surprised (and they should be able to pin to an `index.html` address, generally, whose contents _are_ allowed to change over time.)

> Or should I start embedding that frequently changing JS in the pages that need it, thereby duplicating content, just to avoid breaking the rule that all build artifacts are static assets and all static assets are immutable?

Well, the article is about SPAs, so there's only one page by fiat. But in the general case (MPAs?), there would be a question about why that specific piece of JS must change so frequently, and whether that constitutes a dependency on the environment that can therefore be factored into the top-level.

Almost everything wrong with tech (at least socially) can be laid at the feet of what it's like to grow up as an overly smart over-educated nerd. If I were contracted by an evil genius to design a brainwashing program to turn kids into sociopaths, I'd just design something exactly like my experience in public school. There's a special kind of head fuckery that you get from being constantly told by adults you're superior while at the same time getting beaten, ignored, and humiliated by most of your peers. I spent most of my late teens and early 20s on a semi-deliberate quest to deprogram myself. I like to think I was somewhat successful.
Facebook apparently owns Onavo, but to answer your question more generally, liability is probably very low. In my experience, contracts that license or protect proprietary, confidential, or non-public data often have an explicit exception for following lawful government orders. Which makes sense, because in general, private contracts can't overrule the law. Even if the contract did not have an explicit carve-out in the language, it's hard to believe a lawsuit would succeed. Companies and people have to follow the law, even if they don't like it.

That said, companies are free to choose who they will do business with, so a data provider could always decide a certain customer is too risky for future deals. I wouldn't necessarily call that liability, though.
In the case of Penny it's to hide the fact that if anyone is a poser, a grifter and a hypocrite, it's her. I didn't read this in detail, but I did notice at the end she explains how she went to a different party, away from those troglodyte bros and their crude money cult... and got hammered and wrote socialist poetry on a wall, falling asleep in a puppy pile of futurists, as she wistfully remembers growing up in a threat-free environment. She couldn't be more champagne socialist if she tried, and she's a perfect example of the privilege most of those people on the cruise were attempting to buy themselves into. Just of a different flavor.

Of course with Penny, no matter what happens, you can be sure it's bad for women and it's men's fault, and something needs to be done about it. Just not by her. She's just there to get paid to go on a cruise after all. So relatable, much socialist.
And don't get me started on center consoles. At least my last rental supported CarPlay and I was pleased to discover that it pretty much just worked.

Glad to see this as an open source project so the community can contribute. Working in the DevOps space for a few years I consistently see the challenge organizations of all sizes have in different architectures being used, systems, tools and methodology. Going all in for companies in any of these areas is tough and sometimes paralyzing. So to see a solution that allows companies to transition/migrate on their own time and pace while continuing to deliver value quickly to their end users, without the overwhelming cost (business and opportunity) is a great option we now all have.
> the 'good people' had many, many, many years to influence the direction of the company

You might be surprised. After only a year and a half, I'm rapidly approaching a point where I've been there longer than 2/3 of my peers. There has been a huge influx of new people with new perspectives and new voices. Admittedly that's weighted a bit toward the low end of the individual-influence scale, but collectively all those people can make a difference.
I live in a new building in central Copenhagen, where every household is surely making at least double the average Danish salary, so could easily afford a car. By counting in the basement I estimate about 20% of households own cars.

This includes families. There are plenty of child-sized bicycles (all sizes of child) in the courtyard.
To approximate with Newtonian laws:

F=ma

Meaning that positive and negative masses will accelerate in opposite directions in response to the same applied force. The effect is different, but it's a bit like how when you are in a car and hit the gas pedal, and your kid is in the back seat holding a helium balloon, the kid feels pushed backward into the seat but the balloon flies forward toward the windshield.

F = GMm/r^2

Meaning that gravitational forces between opposite signed masses is the opposite direction from the force between masses of the same sign.

Thus, the gravity force repels the normal mass away, but this repulsive force actually drags the negative mass along with it, because the negative mass accelerates the wrong way when "repelled".

I think this is a rational question to ask! Often people will jump to conclusions "handoffs cause errors", and while errors are a symptom of handoffs executed poorly, it seems uncommon for people to often ask for improvements to these processes.

"Every other force besides gravity is polarised, so why not also gravity?"

Gravity is mediated by a spin-2 gauge boson, the graviton, whereas the other known fundamental forces are mediated by vector (spin-1) bosons. There is an exercise in Peskin & Schroeder (I believe) working out the lack of a gravitation "repulsion" resulting from this difference.

That being said, I think this kind of phenomenology is excellent and raises lots of interesting questions. There may be reason to rule out this author's new idea, or maybe rethink an established tenet. That's why science is such an exciting field.

I worked at Facebook for 5 years on Workplace and Internal Tools. I am typically very critical of the company nowadays, but even so find the discussion here difficult to digest.

People are complex. They are more complex than an action, or even a group of actions. To take a person and alias them into being "good" or "bad" based on an action or a series of actions is to explicitly dehumanize them for the sake of making the world simpler. It is a poor model, and in a Dale-Carnegie-way it leads to poor outcomes, as you close the dialog with that person that allows you to change opinions and outcomes. It is the same with groups or companies: some parts of groups do good from some vantage point, some do bad.

I found myself inspired by a lot of what Facebook did. I loved working inside Infrastructure there, I was amazed by what people were innovating on every day. Projects like charitable causes have raised a lot for charity. I've seen the Are you Safe feature reduce so much stress during disasters. I keep meaningful dialogs going with friends I don't get to see often on FB and Instagram. It makes me really happy to see my friends thriving.

One of Napoleon's great gifts was in compartmentalizing pieces of his life. His tumultuous and frankly soul-crushing personal life (which affected him deeply) with Josephine never got in the way of his military victories. I wonder if that's a good model, up-to-a-point for people and groups. With people, by compartmentalizing some unsavory perspective someone has, you have the ability to change it later on through discussion.

... in groups: if everyone good leaves organizations because they're "bad," well, those organizations will just be filled with the worst of us soon enough.
Honestly this is mostly bad advice. The guy should just sit on his hands for a year or two while he processes the idea of having money. Telling somebody who has never made a big financial decisions to start buying millions of dollars worth of financial assets is terrible advice. Unless by "start small" you mean invest a non-material amount, which still leaves the question: what to do with the remaining 99% of the money. My answer: nothing. Checking/savings account is fine.

When you have a large amount of money the most important thing is not to make any huge mistakes. The best way not to make a huge mistake is to just sit on your hands and do nothing. This is advice that anybody can follow, as opposed to your advice which is vague and absolutely not without risk (there is nothing conservative about buying index funds 10 years into a bull market).
I can see that. Traders in Wall Street are too practical to build something maintainable. Now G Sheet brings the same power but to software developers this time.
The problem with looking at randomness as evidence of free will is that randomness has a nature in and of itself. True randomness is predictably unpredictable, therefore meaning that it's highly constrained and not really lending itself to free will anymore than nonrandom mechanisms.

Don’t hire a manager, no. Sell the shares, or most of them. Put 90-180 days of expenses in cash into savings. Put the rest into Vanguard Admiral-class index funds and forget about it. If you end up buying a house, mortgage it like anyone else would and make the payments. You’ll make more paying interest on the house with the money in the Vanguard fund than you would with it just sitting in the house (no interest, but without the parallel investment).

> If we can be more inclusive with the labels we choose, that's a good thing.

You are claiming these words are "not inclusive" at first place, which is purely a matter of ideology, not semantics. Words have different meaning in different contexts. If you can't understand that, off course you will find everything "offensive".

Starting with the word "inclusive" itself which basically is newspeak at that point. You are right, language changes over time, and it's being manipulated by people like you to steer controversy and division, to deem this or that racist, sexist because you willfully ignore context for pure political goals. There is nothing confusing about "blacklist" or "whitelist". anybody can look up these words in a dictionary, if your "engineers" are incapable of doing that, maybe you should hire better ones. "allowlist" on the other hand is a useless neologism only driven by the need to effectively control the language to force your ideology on others, under threat of being deemed "not inclusive".

This is a political stunt, nothing more, you are asserting control over others, in the name of "inclusiveness" which is rather exclusive as a matter of fact...

You probably haven't been to North Idaho - I live just south of Sandpoint. Sure you can get around town with a bike but the reason you live there is to get into the mountains via back roads (dirt, gravel) that have little up keep, and to be away from it all. Ski resort is 20 minutes up the mountain.

Moreover, the nearest city (45k pop) is 45 minutes south and the nearest major airport is 1.5 hours away. You will need a car, unless you are comfortable just bumming it in town all the time.

Northern Idaho is closer to small towns in Iceland.
“Fares are based on time and distance, and customers can expect fares to be roughly on par with what you'd pay for an Uber or Lyft trip—perhaps even a bit lower. The above Waymo-provided screenshot shows a customer booking this trip, which is 4.6 miles long and takes about 12 minutes. Waymo charges $7.32 for the trip. I punched the same route into Lyft and Uber aps on Tuesday afternoon and got quotes of $8.29 and $9.38, respectively.”
