Didn't Get the Job? The Robots May Not Have Liked Your Social Media Activity
When I was post-doc at a well-respected university, the Profs treated me with a combination with disrespect and contempt (when they were not outright ignoring me). I switched to industry; my pay went up 3X-fold, and my talented colleagues praised those problem-solving abilities that I developed over the course of my academic career. My advice to you; f*ck academia! Its a petty pointless prison where you’ll never do anything worthwhile. Switch to industry in order to work and projects that actually have some impact on the world. Only then will you be treated with respect.

Irrelevant, that it's not perfect doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Many treatments are not perfect. Of course if it introduces new diseases then it's a problem, but dismissing it because it doesn't solve world hunger is weird.
This metanarrative as you decribe it is clearly false. More precisely, the idea is that humans should have equal rights and equal access to opportunities. In practice we don't even have that.
it has been recently asserted that not accepting cash in china is a violation of the law. so for the time being, you can't be forced to use online payments.

i use it only for buying things off the internet or for the rare occasions where i don't have enough cash on me.

i also have a separate bank account only for online payments to limit the damage should the online payment system be somehow exploited.

So he found a gene that can be edited for HIV immunity AND increased cognitive abilities, lied about it, secretly did the gene edit, and then he... left some questions unanswered, and that's your argument?
Reading textbooks doesn't work if you're interested in the subject. If you're a software engineer, writing code doesn't help either. Doing anything you like to do doesn't work.

One thing that helps me is playing a very lengthy fiction audiobook like LOTR or ASOIAF while I lay in bed with the lights off. I love those books, but I usually get tired after listening to a chapter and fall asleep within the next 15 minutes. Note that this is at 4-5am... so... it's not like I've solved my problem.

> I hated paper reading in grad school but start to enjoy it now, one of the reasons is the interest and motivation are stronger and also the for-fun mindset.

You're not alone! I found reading papers for the sake of reading them to be boring. I'm not smart enough to read papers for fun like that. I need motivation. As soon as I'm actually working on software, I can cut through relevant papers and documentation like butter. Anything that isn't relevant to a problem I've created for myself is very hard to get through.

I've been migrating my email archive off of Gmail gradually, because Gmail's proprietary behavior makes doing so programmatically annoyingly unreliable. I used the Purchases tab to ensure all of my receipts were migrated off/deleted. After reaching the "no purchases" point, and then returning a few months later, more purchases had shown up.

It appears that there is some sort of manual template work being done to pick up details from common order emails. So they've at times added new stores it can parse the emails from, or more versions of their emails.

And there's funny bugs too, like items where you got a pre-order price guarantee from Amazon that resulted in a small refund... will lead to the purchases tab saying the item was returned.

Fortunately, the law is actually quite sane in this area, so there won't be any engineers going to prison for vehicular manslaughter:

Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without malice. It is of three kinds:

(c) Vehicular—

(1) Except as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 191.5, driving a vehicle in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, and with gross negligence; or driving a vehicle in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an unlawful manner, and with gross negligence.

(2) Driving a vehicle in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to a felony, but without gross negligence; or driving a vehicle in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an unlawful manner, but without gross negligence.

(3) Driving a vehicle in connection with a violation of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 550, where the vehicular collision or vehicular accident was knowingly caused for financial gain and proximately resulted in the death of any person. This paragraph does not prevent prosecution of a defendant for the crime of murder. [0]

> They do find a correlation, but it varies substantially between countries, suggesting that other factors are at play.

Sure, but we’re talking about what explains variation between school districts in the same state in the US, not variation among OECD countries. I'm not saying that education policy and practice can't have a difference and doesn't globally, I'm saying there is virtually no evidence that the difference within districts that people in the US might be choosing between is driven by much of anything beyond background.
I had failed to make a multiplayer computer game with traditional approach and realized firebase solved all my concurrency and push problems in a much neater way, and the security language didnt compromise too much expressivity unlike many other SaaS dbs.

well, it obviously worked, so it can't be false.

reality is: rules change. bank-clerks are not always up-to-date on rules. also, there are local variations. things that work in beijing or shanghai may not work in smaller cities, or vice versa. it also depends on the bank.

Good on Netflix for getting around the apple tax. I’ll admit, I have a MacBook for work, and all my reading and general browsing is on my iPad and iPhone. That being said, I’m saddened by Apple’s money grabs (absurd pricing). They don’t seem to care about customer trust. The post 2015 MacBooks are horrible IMO, and the AppStore is full of literally garbage. Every app is a bunch of ads and pay to basically unlock anything useful. I don’t know what the bar is to be on the AppStore anymore, and I never install anything other than Netflix, Spotify, WSJ, a couple Amazon apps, and some banking and investment apps... basically everything big name.
Even worse is when you change countries(or rather apple changes your country coz you changed payment methods). apart from the US & other first world countries the store is absolutely BARREN of any reviews or ratings. feels like a ghost town.

i wonder if apple has abandoned mac and it's ancillary products to cowboy coders. the "quality" that people talk about is completely missing from mac software

Paying customers asking for feature via review is part of the reason why the review system is great. if you just want to make passive income by creating an app that does one thing in one particular way that's fine but you should be upfront about the deal. not being upfront about not providing feature updates or rather extensions should mean a worse review imo
The app store didn't replace offline retail, the internet did. Software was sold online before the app store came along just fine. With app-stores we are back in retailer country: convenient as a customer but the manufacturer has to pay a fee to be boxed and put on the digital shelf.

Genes are not like points you can spend in a game to
upgrade stuff. Editing them is a two edged sword.

Sure... but relative to the objective function that our genes currently optimize. All bets are off once a different objective function gets involved. Given that our genes are currently optimizing something like "reproductive fitness for pre-writing tribes circa 500ky BCE", and that that environment is completely different from what we're dealing with right now - no drug-resistant pathogens or globe-spanning plagues (hell, not even any antibiotics in the first place), low or negative value on longer lifespans, massively lower rewards for cognitive capabilities especially in comparison to the rewards for physical power, no surgery or vitamin supplements or blood testing, surprising (and tragic) lean toward r-selection over K-selection, quite a lot more - I would be surprised if we were unable to find some wins that are, relative to our current objectives, major, obvious, safe, and free.

> Directness isn't condescension, period.

Then we wouldn't be having this conversation. This conversation is here because people are offended I used the word coward and not at anybody specifically. I call them cowards because the behavior stems from intimidation. Everybody has fear, but its how people respond to it that determines bravery/cowardice. That said it isn't a surprise that cowards would be angrily offended at the mere thought of such a characterization even when not directed at them.

You have no idea how many horror stories I have heard from legal that boils down to my boss is mean. After further investigation more than 90% of the time the person making the complaint needed a mean boss because they were a piece of crap.

> And then you continue in this path, characterizing those who wouldn't respond to you as lacking "balls"

Yes, people who down vote for a minor disagreement of opinion or because their mortal soul was shredded apart by their deeply profound state of offense don't understand what the down vote is for. It isn't there to reinforce an echo chamber. The down vote is there to push down comments that are completely outside the conversation at hand or that demonstrate bad behavior. The big tears of sensitive people isn't an indication of bad behavior.

When I down vote a comment I always reply saying why I am doing so unless somebody else has already said it for me. It is the mature courteous thing to do.

Antitrust laws should be modernized to force oligopolies to charge reasonable fee once you became huge platform.

This happened in many European countries where CC fees are less than 1%, where in USA it is 2-3%.

Same as electricity is natural monopoly with somewhat regulated prices, modern platform distort the economy power. It destroys competition and create winner take all market.

Apple fees should be determine be independent body, but I feel they should not be larger than 10% for one-time purchase and 5% for recurring charges.
I went to a Google Flutter meetup a few weeks ago and was impressed by it ... key advantage in my view is that its skinnable and builds its UI from scratch - a lot of apps will be ok with that and in fact its a bonus if they look exactly the same on both major platforms.
Too bad Tk was replaced by wx-widgets, otherwise it could be OTPCL/Tk ;)

My main usecase for Tcl/Tk was gluing some legacy and adding some GUI on top of it. With Erlang/OTP one can easily glue and orchestrate distributed code, GUI is not as easy as in Tk, since Erlang is much more verbose and wx is more complex than Tk.

Any plans to support Elixir too?
Well for one, the cases of a match statement are guaranteed to use the same variables and return the same output, in every case — the equivalent if-elseif-else does not offer the same guarantees, and has to be read in full to reach the same conclusion

So the statements are equivalent in whole, but the difference is that a match statement requires less reading (as it holds more meaning)

You'd be hard pressed to find any credible source for your conviction.

Apple's privacy stance is what Steve Jobs believed in, and what Tim Cook has stuck with, because they know that leaving privacy-based decisions up to third-party developers never ends well.

Here are excerpts from Jobs 2010 interview with Walt Mossberg [0]:

“Silicon Valley is not monolithic,” Jobs responded, “We’ve always had a very different view of privacy than some of our colleagues in the Valley.” Apple, for instance, does not leave it up to developers to decide whether to be dutiful about warning users that their apps are tracking their location data, instead forcing pop-ups on users to alert them that an app is tracking them, and to turn off that ability if they don’t want. “We do a lot of things like that, to ensure that people know what these apps are doing,” he added.

"Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly. I’m an optimist; I believe people are smart, and some people want to share more data than other people do. Ask them. Ask them every time. Make them tell you to stop asking them if they get tired of your asking them. Let them know precisely what you’re going to do with their data."

“A lot of people in the Valley think we’re really old-fashioned about this,” Jobs said in the interview, “And maybe we are, but we worry about stuff like this.”

> There are multiple places around the world that accept bitcoin to pay for their taxes.
No there are not. There are jurisdictions which sign agreements with Bitcoin exchanges to integrate them into the tax payment process. The exchanges must always be able to source enough local currency to meet the payment. The government does not accept and hold Bitcoin - the value of your taxable obligations, once determined, can change in Bitcoin with the exchange rate - whereas my tax obligations in local currency don't, provided I hold local currency.

> Is gold worth nothing, because eventually people have to cash out? Gold is also deflationary.

Gold is not used as a currency today. Neither is Bitcoin. The argument over deflationary currency presumes a world in which Bitcoin fulfills the stated objective of it's adherents as a currency.

Bitcoin and gold are both commodities today. As a commodity Bitcoin has very little to recommend it. Strictly speaking this is true of gold as well, but gold is historically very complicated, and has the benefit of being a physical resource which displays some physical scarcity (of note: gold as a currency isn't strictly deflationary, your inflation rate it just pegged to the rate of mining and discovery).

On gold as a currency - Middle Ages economies routinely bankrupted themselves by making huge windfalls in gold, and failing to recognize that all they'd done was drive a lot of inflation (i.e. the Spanish after they found the Americas - they didn't raise taxes, so the royal treasury found itself in debt even though by simple thinking they should've been very wealthy). Bitcoin has all these problems, but unlike gold also consumes resources to retain it's value. A block of gold after 10 years is still just a block of gold.

> I am in favor of free choice.

And I'm not arguing anything should be illegal. I am arguing rational people should recognize what Bitcoin is, and think carefully about how they value it. It is not what it's advocates say, and it is mostly powered by the reality that your average person does not think carefully about the nature of money very often.

> I've always said to insomniacs that they should read textbooks.

I'm not a good sleeper and quite like reading. If I'm in a state where I'm very tired but also having trouble getting off to sleep then I'm generally too tired to read. I may be able to manage a paragraph or two before my eyes start to lose focus but that's it.

I'm not wide awake and fully functioning, I'm lying there tired but unable to get off to sleep - these are quite different states.

The best thing I can do is to close my eyes and build 3D models in my head and fly around them. That sometimes helps, I think it concentrates the mind.
