That is why there are federal laws.

I mean look at a history in the US of federal housing anti discrimination laws. A whole raft of laws have been in effect for the last 50 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_discrimination_law_...

There are still a large number of businesses in operation.

Plus, look at it from society's point of view. If we have a situation where corporations are profiting but employment opportunities are unfairly distributed, various political groups in a free society will form to try and change the laws until corporations change their behavior. There will be agitation and unrest. If that goes on long enough, we may end up in a situation where the society, the economy, the government deteriorate.

Yup. Pick the battles that matter to you and that you have a choice of winning.

There will always be forces beyond your control that affect your life - be they natural disasters, other people's decisions (from personal choices like whether to date you and small-scale professional like whether to hire you; to which departments to cut in a major layoff; to enormous political/social upheavals), market forces and scientific breakthroughs that you can't predict, etc. If you don't roll with the punches on those, all you'll accomplish is to make yourself angry all the time.

But there are also choices you can make - such as how to spend/invest your money; what jobs to apply to; whether to start a business, and which one; whom to try to date or ask to marry you; where to buy or rent a home, etc. that will have massive, compounding effects on your stress levels and happiness.
On panopticlick, screen resolution is consistently top 2 most uniquely identifying things they fingerprint (edit: for me), hence the concern I suppose.
Not all data collections are created equal. Canvas fingerprinting really only has one use, and that is to try to circumvent a user's decision to delete site cookies (or not accept them in the first place). That, combined with the fact that DDG's entire marketing campaign is that they respect your privacy, is a bad sign. They may not be using this information for anything nefarious now, but it does seem plausible that this is a canary in a coal mine.
To the degree that you can pursue both or combine them, do so, do not try to live your life like https://www.xkcd.com/761/

To the degree that you have to make decisions under uncertainty, try to minmax.

To the degree that you can't reconcile what different pieces of you want, or that other people want of you, or that you want of other people, learn to negotiate.

To the degree that you are really stuck, the world works a little like Miegakure, changing the question might free you.

To the degree that those don't free you from uncertainty, reduce the scope of planning and relax the goals, expand them as you master the environment.

Not making a decision is itself a decision that guarantees failure and maximizes regret.

Advice can be given, but ultimately, it is a hit or miss that depends on how you tick.

What I would do is, write an essay about it. You need to formulate your arguments, and convince yourself, to your own standard. Answer your own questions, and do any research you might need if you are at a loss of words.

If you reach a question in this same class, apply this comment recursively.

This is the best I can do without attempting to write my own essay.
You should consider Org Mode.
The design looks to be half flat and half dimensional. I would pick one or the other. Flat UI forgoes box shadows which has the benefit of avoiding the uncanny valley effect. These shadows are so big that the light source would have to be very close to the page yet they are uniform and uni-directional so they stand out as unnatural. I would also move the click handlers from the text to its containing element. There are what look like buttons but they are just meaningless wrappers for the text which actually has the click handler. If it looks like a button it should behave like a button.

My approach has been to only engage in activities where I can get a lot of value out of failure.
Personally, I chose to work on Open Source projects because there are a lot of possible upsides:

- It gives you an opportunity to learn a lot about a specific field and become an expert in it.

- Better job opportunities and career security (being the founder of a moderately popular OSS project can help you to build your personal brand).

- You may be able to monetize your project by offering consulting, fremium model or add-ons; OSS can help you get your foot in the door at a lot of companies.

- You can use your own generic open source project as a foundation to create your own commercial projects. If one such project fails financially, it's no big deal, you can just refocus your energy on a different commercial project and still use your OSS work as the foundation so you don't start from scratch.

Also, the cost of participating in OSS are pretty low since it only uses up your time; you don't need to invest any money for marketing.
The other thing about OSS is that sooner or later, smart people will figure out that your free solution is superior to commercial alternatives and this will give you an opportunity to form meaningful professional connections with these kinds of people.
Better to have a small community of highly involved and intelligent people than a huge community of apathetic people who are only there because of marketing.

I bought 200 TSLA stocks at around $212 per. I also adore my Model 3 as it is just really fun to drive or ride in. You’re not discouraging me at all but you’re really missing the fact that their fleet pulls in more data than any of their competition even including google’s Waymo. They’ll have the raw data and they will get the models right. Having the most diverse amount of training data will allow them to have the best models, which will lead to FSD.

Without the MTA, NYC wouldn't be nearly as dense. Construction followed the lines, not the other way around.

It does help that NYC is a unified polity. If the 5 boroughs had remained independent it would be as messy as the Bay Area. The exclusion of Westchester, Suffolk, nearer Long Island and the parts of NJ out to say Seacaucus have a noticeable distortionary effect on the architecture of mass transit in the tri-state area.

Sadly switching to Signal, Wire, and other "technologically superior to Telegram" apps means a drop in user experience. For example, I tried switching to Wire recently but I found that setting up a new device means I wouldn't have access to my old messages.

I understand these apps don't want to upload messages to a server, but can't messages be synced between clients? Even if I had to scan a QR code on my phone to sync with my laptop and had to stay on the same Wi-Fi network until it was done, it could then sync historical messages. I have Telegram messages from 2015 when I had a different computer, laptop, phone, and lived in a different house.

This is also why I don't use the secret chat on Telegram. As soon as you add too much encryption and security you have to trade-off usability. Must it always be that way? If you have to chose between security and usability, people will always choose usability.

Given the option, and assuming some equivalence in quality of life by each choice (none is more likely to require insane hours or burdensome travel requirements etc.). And given equal talent in each area: I would recommend choosing the one that most interests you, that inspires the most passion.

You're unlikely to be able to drive yourself as hard and therefore contribute as much to an area you aren't as in interested in. Nor are you as likely to be as happy and content in your life if you are working on problems that bore you, even if their goals are noble.
> Honestly, at some point the corrupting effect of history (especially in sex discrimination, where the effect is not generational [everyone is the descendant of a woman]) is less severe than the corrupting effect of accepting discrimination today as some sort of "balance" to that perception of history.

Agree, which is why I stated that these policies should only last a limited time. The tough question is how long should these policies last.

> You could make a credible case that Gen Z (my generation,
by a hair) North American girls have had considerably more encouragement and opportunity to enter TEM fields (the S is more evenly split) than the boys who grew up with them; so will we still discriminate in their favour when it comes to hiring?

I would not find such an argument credible. Clearly males are not being prevented from entering these fields as the ratios of males to females is still greatly skewed.

So it would be far fetched to claim that the effect of these programs that encourage women to participate has denied a significant number of men to enter into these fields.

I would be interested in some concrete facts on just how many of these programs even exist and the monetary expenditure of such programs. As someone from generation X, I know that no such programs existed at that time.
It's not binary though. It's a complex weaving dance between passion and utility for most people if you are to be both reasonably happy and well off.
I think it's good that we see more efforts at making good e-mail clients. Outlook was never great, but it has really ruined e-mail with the current font and design layout that makes it even harder for people to notice important e-mails and this is killing it off as a communications medium.

We have the advantage nowadays that the server protocols are more open than they have been for a long time, also the rendering of rich e-mails is more standard so it's a good time for alternatives to gain some of the market.

Yeah Spin is a definite barrier. Right when I was wrapping up my design, Parallax was just starting to encourage people to use the C compiler in production. I would guess the Prop 2 will be similar.

It is all to easy to call some result inevitable but doing so simply obscures the road(s) not taken. Apple was an innovative company. It is no longer innovative it is exploitative. It is trying to optimize its current market and product without doing the hard work required to innovate. The iPod was a remarkable innovation that few people could understand even after seeing it. (Here's looking at you Zune). Tim Cook is not an innovator, Steve Jobs was. It would be interesting to discuss the why and how of Apple not finding or developing another Steve Jobs.
This post is killing me. I’ve been really really loving Elixir and for a while was fighting the “everything looks like a nail” syndrome once I learned it.

But now I have a contract that would really benefit from the runtime. That being said the existing environment has a lot of python expertise and I don’t have enough production Elixir experience to have confidence in myself to deliver something of the right caliber.

It’s a damn shame. This system has to process hundreds of thousands of API calls for workloads against a half dozen third parties that all have different rate limits and failure modes. It’s the perfect job for Elixir. It needs to be as fast as possible while isolating failures to the smallest unit possible.

Democratizing Web Design: Vlad Magdalin of Webflow
What I found in my experience is that an idea is great but until you start working on it, you will not know if you're passionate/interested/capable/ready for it.

I have a lot of projects/ideas that I am working on or want to work on. I jump from one project to the next until there is one that really grasps me, then I try to finish till completion. Most people have shallow understandings of a lot of things. Only with deep knowledge does innovation or sparks of it come to being. So with your interest in a lot of subjects (Energy, AI, Healthcare) try to learn a little of them in the beginning beyond shallow understanding. MAybe you will find something from that.

I can’t argue with this point in general, but your first question was from the perspective of a company. There certainly are companies, that are willing to use things like Elixir (like my company for example) because we believe that an experienced developer should be able to come up to speed quickly with Elixir. What really takes the time is learning our business domain and our existing codebase. Or looking at it another way, I wouldn’t want to hire someone that was a Rails dev, I would want to hire someone that was a strong dev in general and may have happened to be doing Rails most recently.

Where the Five-Day Workweek Came From
Of course, but then we are back to memory pools.
TLDR: I made my own in order to be as lightweight and quick to save new ideas as possible.

For years I used Evernote but as the tool got more and more bloated it didn't work for quickly saving a new idea. I tried Notes by Microsoft, Notes by Apple, SimpleNote... in my opinion they were all too bloated. I wanted something I could click into, type, walk away.

So I made my own. You create a single sheet of digital paper and it syncs across all devices. My wife and I use one for a shopping list on both of our phones, I have one for personal notes and one for work notes. If anything gets more complicated, it goes into Evernote but this is what I use 99% of the time.

> We can't seem to get anything done.

From a distant outside perspective, my impression is that nothing will ever be done, short of a cataclysmic upheaval (political or geographic).

The major barriers are that there is no single polity for the Bay Area and that there are multiple rail systems. Small polities resist mergers because they (correctly) deduce that their local wishes will be overridden by a wider collective need. Multiple public rail systems won't be merged. Unlike private rail, they don't have economic pressure to merge and have independent sources of existence (state vs federal legislation, for example).
