But thats only valuable because they steer buyers as well, and if you want access to those buyers you need to cater to the agents that won their trust by educating, managing, etc.
Automation hits white collar professions as a massive productivity improvements for the top performers displacing everyone else working in the field (think the top 10% of people in your position doing 100% of the work).

In web development this is most apparent (to me) in SAAS application development, where many/most of the underlying pieces of building a CRUD application that can scale to thousands of users, and be really functional are now provided by other SAAS apps which provide a _better_ service than the average developer can scrape together themselves.

Billing -> stripe.com over writing against the gateways directly

Database/Hosting -> Heroku PostGres/Redis and compute

Email -> Sendgrid, Mandrill, ActiveCampaign

Or even just SAAS frameworks like BulletTrain (Rails) or Laravel Spark which dramatically cut down on the boilerplate and integration code you'd have to write.

Only storing the merkle tree is useful for SPV nodes. The actual full nodes need to store the full chain to verify blocks (or else you could double spend). In mimblewibmle, the full nodes has visibility over interactive transactions only while joined of the network. The final artifact is a combined tx that spans the whole block -- ie: you throw away lots of tx detail and use the kernel for validation.

LSD and Ketamine were incredibly healing experiences for me that seriously broke through a lot of deep-seated trauma and helped me deal with PTSD that was debilitating my life beforehand.

They’ve also been incredibly great experiences for benefiting my poetry and musical compositions.

I believe they are great tools that require education to use. It’s a shame that education is more or less forbidden knowledge.
I've often been able to dramatically improve other peoples' code by selecting the right data structure (array, list, tree, hash, whatever) where the original programmer clearly did not know about them. They were able to make the code work, but not very well.

It's hard to do research when one doesn't recognize there's a problem, nor know what question to ask.
To be pedantic (and acknowledge something I think you're acknowledging), it's the failure to yield that is the cause of the collision, not the failure to stop. One can yield without stopping, and stop without yielding. This is a pet peeve of mine, as I had a commute through a neighborhood with countless 'useless' stop signs across an arterial, and yet, as I trudged through this morass for a decade, I more than once almost failed to notice a pedestrian because I was so intent on the process of the sign, the stop line, and so on.. and less on being aware of my surroundings. The laser-like focus on the stop line actually reduced my ability to 'see' what I needed to see.
It often is very easy to limit the usefulness of a trial version without impacting the trial at all.

The negligible part is the cost of the freeloaders, there can also be value in freeloaders. They help spread the word and keep up the good word and they might convert rather than going to a competitor. They also represent a good opportunity to show good will.

The non-negligible part is the lost revenue from performing such shady practices as requiring a cc / phone number. If you require that for a trial I will perform extensive research of your competitors. And if desperate enough might consider you after that if nothing else was up to par.

If you allow me to sign up for a trial without an email that is very positive and shows me that you respect your users. That is very appealing.

And very reasonable, because the sole reason for anyone to ask for an email is so they can send spam to it afterwards. Which of course shows me that you do not respect your users.

Here's the same story from 2017: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/08/my-google-...

I don't think that makes it less relevant in general, but there's nothing "new" here. There doesn't need to be anything new for the point to still be interesting, but it does reveal something about our bias towards the "new" in our political conversation and analysis.
On probe requests this can be very often(< second or within 50 frames), especially in the case of IOS. On Android MAC randomisation is implemented only on a handful of specific devices and some vendors dont at all.
Mac randomisation is flawed at the least and can still be used to identify an individual in some cases.

> we have to admit the American economy sucks

In what way? I think it's working exactly as intended, to siphon wealth off to the ruling class. Spending is like a gas, it will expand to fit its constraints.

Those stats are not great for borrowers, but they're great for lenders. One take is to blame the lenders -- they lend too much, chaining the borrowers to debt. The other take is to blame the debtors, reframing those stats as, e.g., "Over 34% of borrowers have delayed starting a family because they preferred spending borrowed money."

The truth is of course somewhere in the middle: debt is a wonderful leverage tool when used properly, but lenders will gladly give you more than enough rope to hang yourself. In today's world the only one looking out for you is you.

(for the sake of this comment, I'm talking about non-medical debt)
My community college is extremely "decent", thank you. In most cases, other than needing to check of the "have a bachelor's degree" box for job application purposes, most people will probably get more bang for their buck in a community college than they ever will in a fancier school. Depending on what your local community college offers, there's a good chance that for a fraction of the cost, you can pick up nearly anything you'd want to know (or just like to learn, at that price).

As someone whose taken a fair number of IT degree classes, I'd say there's a fair bit of conceptual knowledge involved. And in the case of networking, for example, most of the standards and protocols you're being taught how to work with have been around since the mid-80s, and aren't showing significant signs of going away any time soon.

I'd say the CS vs. IT split would probably surprise you. I have gone up to the bachelor's level in a game programming degree, and it was amazing how poorly people who were proficient in writing C++ couldn't handle basic PC troubleshooting, it's a different skill set entirely.
I'll check it. Thanks.

I'll also appreciate any other recommendations of the best services for a speaking practice.

SSPL is basically trying to say we are open source unless you make money, in which case pay us or you need to be open source(not the kind of open source we are, the actual kind). And at the end of the day it just means that they aren’t open source anymore, they are a proprietary shop who lets hobbyist see their source code.
I'll worry about that if it actually happens. Thanks to hundreds of years of discrimination, America has had tons of incompetent white males in high positions, simply because pretty much anybody in any position of power was white and male, regardless of whether they were competent or not.

For some reason, the racial stereotype of white males being unqualified lazy freeloaders didn't really take root, apart from maybe a small group of vocal idiots.
Investment in housing and low interest rates would actually spur new construction and thus reduce rents if the housing supply were more elastic. It is the fact that supply is inelastic in a few cities that makes investment harmful for homebuyers.
How could that have ever happened!? Did she sue? Did she ever get the appendectomy?

That's horrific.
I really thought this would be about something else, given the title, but oh well.

As others have pointed out, this has been going on since.. the beginning of IT.

I got my start in the 90's, working for an employer that sold tech software on: AIX, Digital UNIX, Ultrix, SunOS, Solaris and IRIX. SunOS and Ultrix were on their way out, but still supported. Windows and Linux were relatively new additions. 64-bit was just starting to become a thing, so we needed to support both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Supporting dev, stage and prod environments for all this was a huge job, and took a fairly high level of technical skill as well as a huge amount of domain specific knowledge.
Really - far more domain specific knowledge than technical skill, on the balance.

It did require building a lot of software, and autoconf was a (new) blessing for cross-platform builds.

My CS degree was helpful, but honestly there just wasn't much programming needed, outside of shell scripts.

At the time, every few years someone would say how all of this "IT management stuff" would be automated away. I distinctly recall Sun executives banging on about it in the media a bunch just as I was starting to work full time after graduation.

And I distinctly remember thinking - they are completely wrong. And they were.

Commoditization was a big shift - now all those UNIXes are gone and we're left with just Linux.

"The stuff" that cannot be automated was shifting then, has shifted a lot since then, and continues to shift.

At the time, lots of knowledge and skill was needed to build sendmail for every OS, configure and install it everywhere. Now we've basically just got Linux, and just about every package you can think of is available via apt and yum.

Configuration is done through a DSL like Ansible, Chef or Puppet.

And now we're shifting such that we'll just use SES or some other cloud service for sending, and we won't manage mail servers at all - or any other commoditizable service - SQL database, noSQL, NFS, block storage, etc etc.

Or we will, we just won't be tweaking many knobs and buttons on it - and we'll still be managing it primarily with a DSL rather than bash scripts.

And perhaps writing a fair bit more "real" code as well.

But - somebody's got to stitch all that together - as the article says, the key is providing value that is specific to the company/product/service. It always has been!!

Creeping - sure.

But is it an apocalypse if a bunch of DBAs and Windows Administrators have to learn some new skills, or retire, or lose their jobs? People who basically have had to be continually learning and adapting all along?

Was it an apocalypse when I "lost" the career value of all the skill and knowledge I had related to IRIX, Digital UNIX, Solaris, etc?

There is a REAL creeping apocalypse, but it isn't this. It is security. Software is eating the world, and for every line of code written, X new security bugs are introduced. In this, I'm including social engineering bugs.

That is creeping.

And the apocalypse will be when some combination of those bugs leads to something truly horrific. If it hasn't already - like the end of democracy.
> hard data about the whispering campaign going on behind your back, the conversations from which you are excluded.

This is not necessarily harassment. People not agreeing with you, thinking you are stupid or unqualified, talking to each other about it - does not constitute harassment. Especially on a public, anonymous forum.

> that the harassment does actually exist, and is not a mere allegation by you being paranoid.

if you are referencing your first line, it still isn't harassment just because you say so.

> that other people can go verify the hostile attitudes and expressions for themselves.

People reacting in a hostile manner to a person's ideas or opinions isn't harassment.

> provides real, externally verifiable evidence of problems at facebook, not coming merely from the famous "disgruntled ex-employee"

Maybe, maybe these are real verifiable problems at facebook. But the conversation regarding this woman's position on diversity isn't necessarily harassment. Even extremely stupid, backwards, phobic comments aren't harassment. Those comments aren't directed at her and even though the people making them are horribly misguided, classifying all the conversation around her position as "harassment" is disingenuous.

You can certainly scale it to make a comfortable full time living and I know multiple people that do that.

That's demonstrably false. Hell you can just look to startups created by new grads and dropouts to confirm your view point is inane. Today's college grads are better equipped to do a wider breath of work than any other time in history precisely because of the efficiency gains of automation.
I think the trick is not to regulate total screen time, but to regulate long uninterrupted blocks of screen time.

The "social media loop" that haunts many adults is not really different from whatever cravings kids are going through, and in both cases it can be combated with scheduled activity breaks that involve getting up and doing a bit of housework or going outside for few minutes. It promotes better sleep habits while not really limiting the core activity.

I would definitely not recommend encouraging anyone to go from one sedentary activity(games, Youtube) to another(homework, coding etc.) directly - that's something that makes "screen time" a nebulous timesink.

The probability of that is basically the same as the probability of an already-existing known deleterious mutation being transmitted into the "global genome". Only if he has children in the future, and not necessarily even then.

Gene changes aren't intrinsically infectious; they're only infectious at all because we tend to modify infectious organisms to carry our changes (e.g., viral gene therapy).
The problem is they've been trained not to bother.

For years I had small subscriptions to various digital things; public radio, podcasts, etc. After being burned when trying to change my credit card on a prominent broadcaster and finding there was no obvious way to cancel, I switched to PayPal or nothing for ongoing payments. It's just not worth bothering managing each site's various levels of hostility for dealing with it. After PayPal had some gaffes, I stopped altogether. In the years since I've moved a few to Patreon, but fewer than previously.

FWIW, this example was for a company that refused to tell me what the job description was and what the position was. They didn't tell me ahead of time which languages they preferred or what kind of work I would be doing. It's a company everyone knows and is renowned for their secrecy. While they refused to tell me what they were looking for, it became clear during the interview they were looking for something very specific.
That's fair, but it's also generally how the modern regulatory state works: Congress lays out a rough sketch of the laws and regulatory agencies and courts hash out the details. And counting incidences of enforcement doesn't tell you where the bulk of doctrine is since someone who plainly violates the law is quickly shut down, while the authorities are forced to play cat and mouse with the ones who skirt the law.
You might consider DataGrip -- it's got surprisingly good Postgres support and even does ssh tunneling quite nicely.

The "if everyone just tried this there would be no war..." is absolutely wishful thinking yes, because it ignores that organization and process is required for large scale structures to function. And while we may not like each and every function of the large scale structures we have, we're much better withem than without.

But as for realizations that are had, typically the value isn't in anything thought of while on LSD, but from the lasting change of perspective in months afterward. Realizations can happen on it, but they seem minimal. The closest thing would be that one point while on it I realized I was fully capable of holding two contradictory beliefs and simply consciously ignoring where they contradict. The thing is, a realization like that leads to greater realizations about how your own brain works.
Overall, the application looks solid, there are some glitches that I am sure you would resolve them in future, thanks for making this tool that solves real engineering problems and helps developers to get to a prototype sooner. keep rocking !!
Funny anecdote from my son: His favorite time at a school is going to the computer lab. I asked him about the iPads in the classroom and he said "Those are for work".
Are they sure about that debunking? If you read the EUIPO decision, it specifically says that "BIG MAC" was revoked.

> The applicant filed a request for revocation of European Union trade mark registration No 62 638 ‘BIG MAC’ (word mark) (the EUTM).

> The EUTM proprietor’s rights in respect of European Union trade mark No 62 638 are revoked in their entirety as from 11/04/2017.

That seems fairly clear that "BIG MAC" was the focus of the decision. Am I reading this wrong?

I kind of don't want to touch this issue for obvious reasons, but a while ago I read that 20-25% of Ivy League students are Jewish [1]. It makes sense that they'd be over-represented in education-driven professions.

The brightness can be tamed just by rolling off the tone control. If I'm playing a passive-pickup Tele (my #1 Tele has EMGs and behaves differently), I'll usually roll both the tone and volume knobs off at least a bit, to tame it. It's very easy for guitarists to just turn the knobs up all the way and leave them there, but the Tele controls are a whole new world of magic.

Another solution is to use a hotter bridge pickup (which will be necessarily darker), and replace the neck pickup with, heck, almost anything else.
It is insulting to someone with tens of thousands of lines of public code in open source. You can work at a tech giant for half a decade and slip under the radar with no way to prove or disprove your competency there unless you can get references from the job, but for those who have put out tons of work for free having those who want them to write code for them asking for grade school pop questionnaires is an insult to their expertise.

You don't ask a published drug researcher with patents or papers written to build simple molecules out of building blocks during the interview, but in software even senior engineers are asked to regurgitate things from CS202 for decades on end instead of actually acknowledging their accomplishments or talking about their legitimate capabilities.

I would say the difficulty with these niches is that the number of experts and the demand follow different curves. For COBOL, it seems that you have the initial period where supply and demand are high, and you have the final period where the few experts remaining command high salaries. But between them you have a glut where demand is dropping and the experts are moving on or getting "reorganized". Surviving that middle period is not something to take for granted.

The strategy here is to set aside one hour to code, write the code, send what you have after an hour and say what remaining work needs to be done, along with reasonable estimates of remaining time (noting that you're too busy to spend actually doing it).
