There have been very few examples at all, and most that exist are from oddball times, or circumstances. One example I know of are Israel's "labor-owned^" companies of the 50s and 60s, notably "eged" the bus company.

There were pathologies but not necessarily what you might expect. Notably, employees objected to expanding the employee pool. This led to a system where old employees were shareholders and new ones were not. This eventually led to the collapse of the system, as much for ideological (classism) reasons as practical ones.

The dynamics are poorly understood, imo. One possibility is that this type of company will tend to maximize earnings-per employee. Without the ideological baggage, I wonder if a dual classes if employees isactually a good idea.

As this article demonstrates, the lines between ownership, governance on paper & governance in practice are not straight.

^"labor" was, att, the dominant institution of the country with the ruling party, largest medical network, etc. It was a new country, post holocaust solidarity, war, socialism... exceptional circumstances and not a perfect example, certainly.

Honest try to respond. I guess a child needs to associate the right emotion with a situation. Violence is a bad example as a resolution and fits with the emotion of anger. A scream or tears can be a result of fear. In case of danger fear for a childs life is a more fitting emotion imho than anger.

It's true. But the US drug marketers also move lots of money to television companies (watch any non-sports show and look at the ads). They finance lots of perks for prescribers.

Their clinical trials for new compounds are extremely expensive, freeway-tunnel-under-harbor expensive, Carl Sagan expensive (billions and billions).

They pay generic-drug manufacturers to refrain from making competitors to their compounds for which patents have recently expired.

They pull the enantiomer hack. Many organic compounds have a right-handed and a left-handed version of their structures, only one of which is active as a drug. Chemists call these two versions "enantiomers." The first patent on a compound covers the basic chemistry. Then, when the first one expires they patent the same compound, but only the purified active enantiomer. They then send their sales reps out to convince docs the newly patented drug is way better than the old one.

They lobby the US federal legislature to enact health care insurance laws (Medicare Part D) prohibiting the negotiation of prices.

They claim drugs bought in Canada aren't safe, even if they come from the same factory.

And, Purdue Pharma.

Would you mind explaining why you think explanations in the style of evolutionary biology are bullshit ?

I find your comment very enlightening and I sense some kind of self-irony that tickles my curiosity about your views. I bet you have some insightful thoughts about explanations coming from evolutionary biology and how one should take them, and I'd would be very interested in hearing them.
The cable tester they are using is setup to test the actual specification.

That is to say they are testing the _very definition_ of Cat-5E, Cat-6, or Cat-6A. That's the thing about cabling standards: either you meet the requirements of the standard or you don't. I presume the committee that designed 100Base-T, 1000Base-T, and 10GBase-T didn't pick numbers out of nowhere for no reason.

Your comment seemed to be using circular reasoning... if the standard is too stringent than it's just a free-for-all, or the manufacturer's made-up non-standard, but there is only one way to be Cat-6A: follow the specs laid out in the standard. Otherwise why even have standards?

> I don't buy that a tool that's being sold for money would do that

If you work with proprietory hardware (think FPGAs), if you want to use the hardware, you have to use proprietory vendor tools, whether you want to or not.

> if the tools are internal then by definition you have the ability to make changes to them.

This misses the point. Having the technical ability to modify the tool does not equal having the real-world-practicability, business-case-defendable ability to change the tool.

> Well, if you make adopting good tooling in C++ harder than switching to a language that already has good tooling

The point is that in a 20 year, n-million line codebase, neither is "easy", and the pragmatic solution is to do neither.

I really like how you defined these roles. #1 pays more these days and startups and sf companies want actual front end engineers. But there is still a world of work out there for the classic web developer or "web designer" as we used to call them. In every town and city you have small agencies and web shops building a range of smb to mid size sites. Squarespace, wix and some wordpress plugins are chewing into this market thou.

> Capitalism ... been shown to give rise to Fascism

Historical nonsense. Fascism is a direct descendent of Marxist socialism with class consciousness replaced by nationalism.

And the Soviet Union and Communist China were state socialist societies. Neither of which were known for their humanity and environmental consciousness.

You can't just define capitalism as "all the bad stuff". Well you can but it's disingenuous and wrong.

Pure capitalism has never existed and wouldn't work anyway. Same goes for pure socialism.

Organisations like Mondragon and John Lewis have shown that models that mix the two can be successful. That message is not helped by a wilful disregard of facts.

Indeed, I think so too.
Ironically, people essentially tend to ask for freedom of choice above all in the US healthcare system (I want complete price info, yada yada...) when the US system is evidently already the one offering the highest level of patient autonomy, probably worldwide (regarding the ethics principles of beneficence, nonmaleficience, Justice and autonomy). But guess what? That has a price, who would have thought?!

Another point is that IMO, you can't go extreme on one principle without impacting the others. Nonmaleficience is clearly a problem in the US.
I'm very excited for BCI, more so than for virtual reality or augmented reality, if only because it'll eventually allow me to remove any physical barrier to interacting with a computer.

I suspect that, due to the abstraction process you've noted, that it won't be long until the computer is a direct extension of will. Once people start realizing this, I think society is going upend, and a small number of extremely high-output people are going to remake the world.

The Singularity is real, and I think simply obsoleting the mouse and keyboard is going to kick it off. We could even replace screens, but I see it as less of a factor.

How exactly is Electron superior?

> VSCode is built in Electron.

So is slack, which (from what I've heard, I have no personal experience) eats RAM like a maniac. Neither of these example applications tips the scale between Qt or Electron on being superior.

Again, based on what I've heard/read, Qt being less recourse hungry and written in C++ allows it to be (for example) embedded (to cars or iot devices, for example).
It's a behavior that evolved in quadrupeds.

If you're about to get in a fight, it's important to use the center of your field of vision, because that's the only part that's worth a damn.

For a quadruped, you can see the head, and forelimbs. You get a lot more information from the head.

I was taught, when sparring, to 'loosen' my vision and look a little lower, roughly between the pectoral muscles. But that's bipeds; there's more to track. The stare-down pre-fight behavior was already well-established, and still matters for quadrupeds, many of which are dangerous, so there's been no evolutionary pressure to change it.
You are shifting a point of conversation. The point is, they are comparable and should be compared.

Single-threaded is an important comparable point.

This is odd. If you have a decent job and health insurance coverage, there’s nothing better in terms of healthcare than living in cities such as Boston. I can’t think of another city where you have access to multiple world-class hospital systems. Quality of care is simply unmatched.
Reading that post and the comments makes me want to try out Qbs! I was vaguely aware of its being announced a few years ago, but I hadn't realised it had even become mature, let alone deprecated. Sounds like a good match for some of my gnarlier qmake-based projects. (Can't abide CMake)
Classic example of using logical mind to become less effective as a human being: to bring the intellect into an area which already works well subconsciously and try to do it's job for it using thinking. :)

The solution is to just trust your eyes and vision (and by extension, trust the universe at large, if you extend this into the spiritual realm): whatever the exact mechanism of the eyes is, they obviously work well for you. It doesn't make sense to take one small aspect of it (low number of lightbuds) and read too much into it, when its shortcomings are easily abstracted away by for example innate intelligence that scans the environment using those few bulbs, to produce a high-megapixel internal representation which will work well enough! Look at the big picture.

Many musicians say that performing is the most fun thing they do. If that's the case then the Rolling Stones take it. Basically, don't take life as optimising a single metric. It's a balance (or a Pareto frontier, if you're formally inclined). The core members of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles certainly have enough money and enough fame. Are they happy though?

Just to be definitive, I suggested the kinesis Advantage2. It should help with your non-mouse hand. There are plenty of reviews of people who claim it saved their careers from RSI.

In the Netherlands that would be fairly normal too. Comes out to around €4000 per month pre-tax, or €56000 (12m + 2m bonus) per year.
Tesla batteries are already highly modular and easily swappable. Having them be swapped every reload just doesn't make any sense.

I bet in ten years having your battery swapped is about the same as having your belt and pump swapped. A couple hours mechanic fees plus the cost of a new battery minus the resale value of the old one. Done within a day, simple once every 250k kilometers to keep your car run as new.

A model 3 without a battery would still be 30k, and that's with Tesla on razor margins and with the much cheaper supercharger infrastructure.
This article from The Economist touches on this topic.

“Banks cannot use deposits in one country to lend in another, because national regulators do not want to be on the hook for loans to improvident foreigners. An eu-wide deposit-guarantee scheme would allay that fear, but has yet to be agreed.”

Opening and reading all the included files could be costly. Also it is "ancient" wisdom so it might predate compilers that could detect the include guard pattern and had to repeatedly preprocess the same files. There is an ancient "Notes on programming" article by Rob Pike that comes up every now and then with a paragraph against include guards for that outdated reason.

I have a strange fetish for multi hour standardized testing, so this looks great to me. Thanks for posting and for the code!

One question based on your responses in this thread: is this test intended to measure software engineering ability or computer science knowledge?

EDIT - one more question after looking through the grading: do you see people studying for specific roles, or the entire test? While I think the latter is possible, it seems much less feasible than studying for, say, the entire SAT.
What you're missing is the process by which new blocks are added onto an existing chain. Let's say that you take the "true" Bitcoin or ETC blockchain, if you want to think of it that way, and now multiple actors are proposing to add blocks onto it, potentially multiple blocks. Which one of those additions wins? The one that's the longest and has the most work behind it - that one wins.

If you propose an addition that is one block long, and I propose an addition that's 2 blocks long, then my chain wins. (These all have to be valid blocks that solve the mining challenge). Miners select the chain with the most work. That's the consensus mechanism by which the blockchain is established (among nodes operating all with the same rule sets).

At any given instantaneous point in time, there may be multiple instantaneous forks of the main blockchain - people who have mined out valid next blocks and are fighting to get them accepted as the primary chain. Imagine that two different miners by coincidence mine out the next block. One of those chains has to win. The chain that wins is the one that propagates through the network most quickly such that other miners begin building upon it and extending the chain - the one with the most work wins. The other chain(s) die and the transactions on it have to be resubmitted.

When multiple branches exist on the blockchain, some consensus process has to reconcile which of them wins. That process is that miners select the longest chain. Don't act as if one single block is magically appended to the chain and everyone knows which block that is; a consensus process operates to select that block (or sequence of blocks), and it operates by selecting the longest chain. When two or more blocks are mined out simultaneously by different miners, the one that wins is likely to be the chain that propagates more quickly to other miners. Since miners build on the longest chain, then the miner who distributes their chain more widely among other miners is likely to win, since those miners will begin building upon it (seeing it as the longest chain thus far).

To continue the story, let's say that you and I both simultaneously mine out the next block of Bitcoin. You don't tell anyone about your block, and keep it to yourself. I distribute my block to the entire network. Thus, other miners start building on my block, and it becomes part of the main bitcoin blockchain. Once that happens, it doesn't matter if you start telling other people about your block -- it's not part of bitcoin any more because my chain exists which is much longer (my block + whatever other blocks people have mined out on top of it).
The linked paper actually refutes this number based on the experiments described. It suggests the number is closer to 5% of adults who knowingly believe in some sort of emission theory, directly arguing against the Winer et al. finding.
