> Besides medicine/law, young people with some degree of privilege and ambition seem to go into banking, private equity or management consulting still.

The number of MIT/Stanford/Harvard kids running around the valley should disprove that point. As someone who attended a Goldman/McKinsey farm school, many of the prestige chasers who would in another era have gone to a bulge bracket are going to work for a FAANG or a unicorn instead because they do see tech as an appropriate substitute for a more traditional high prestige career.
Yes because we all know that revenue is more important than profit.....
If I remember correctly, Snowden would put his phone in the refrigerator when meeting a contact at a neutral location like a hotel room. I've also heard of people putting their phones in the microwave to take them off the grid. I don't know how well any of that actually works. All-in-all though, I agree that just leaving it at home would be best. Maybe even give it to someone you trust to walk around with it while you're meeting your contact if you're ultra-paranoid.

"In other words, the way to deal with an company which is behaving unfairly towards you is to tell them a piece of information they already know, and then depend on them becoming more fair."

You don't depends on them but on an individual basis you can point this out and often you can correct this for yourself. They will still try to screw other employees. And yes,unions are a good way of ensuring this doesn't happen.
You have definitely struck my curiosity - which version of this integration I outlined did you guys implement?

1. Embedded views + user creation w/o requiring email confirmation

2. Embedded views with 1 API User

I don't want to assume anything here, but I think you either didn't build exactly what we were trying to, you are on the legacy version of their API, or you have that embedded view refresh bug I outlined live in prod.
A lot of tests end up testing things which would've been caught by the type system. Static and strong typing doesn't make tests in general unnecessary, but it does mean you don't need quite so many trivial tests.
Historically, yes, but her immediate family was not particularly wealthy, lived a middle-class lifestyle, and was even in difficult financial straits at times. I think they had the remnants of money on them, but not the actual capital.
It does check the barcode, but a generic coke bottle could have been purchased in Washington and returned across the boarder for 10 cents.

That’s a valid bottle, but an abuse of the system because they are getting 10 cents from Oregon that was never paid. The point of the program is you pay 10 cents and get it back if you recycle.
> Try putting some developers using electron, PHP, Java and Postgresql in a room and see if you can get past the introductions without a flamewar.

Try asking them how much they think programmers should be paid and I think you'll find they come to agreement pretty quickly.
It is PHI but its not subject to HIPAA because it is collected by users, not by a hospital (for example).

US law governing PHI applies to data collected in the course of providing and paying for health care. Privacy and security regulations govern how healthcare professionals, hospitals, health insurers, and other Covered Entities use and protect the data they collect. It is important to understand that the source of the data is as relevant as the data itself when determining if information is PHI under U.S. law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_health_information

This is the same reason why HIPAA does not apply to personal fitness trackers.

When consumers are collecting health data for their own use, HIPAA doesn’t come into play.

In case people aren't from Michigan and don't understand how this works...

Many stores have automated scanning machines. You feel UNCRUSHED bottles and cans in, a worm drive spins them around while scanning for the barcode. If that can was sold in MI, you get a .10 credit. You just stand there feeding them in at bigger stores. Many of the grocery stores devoted a portion of their cart storage / entry to these machines. It's important to note that they are required to be uncrushed because it's a pain in the ass storing full size empties imo.
When we tried to bring docusign on board back in 2015-2016, it didn't feel like a very robust product in terms of user accounts management.

They had a legacy instance and a v2 instance (w/ new UI). Enterprise integration was against the legacy instance. Accounts created in one instance does not carry over to the new instance. User who self registered in new instance some how makes authentication into the legacy instance very difficult.

As a user with admin access to docusign, there were a paltry of user management features. I had to delete individual users. No way to filter or batch any user oriented actions.
That is correct. Please do note that GitLab also offers dependency vulnerability scanning and we're working on auto remediation https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3710
All of my girlfriends have had period-tracking apps and we had no intention to conceive. I don't know how menstruation works but I assume it's something you have to be ready for, so you better keep your tabs on it.
Oh— can you point me at a file in particular? I had a look around the codebase and didn't see anything but plain JS. Might have been looking in the wrong places.

And I certainly get your point. However I wonder if they'd consider community-contributed TypeScript declaration files to the official repo as they wouldn't cause conflicts with the Flow system—
I noticed the issue count while using yarn for the first time yesterday. It encountered a fatal error (Disk Quota Exceeded) and then proceeded blithely on. It's only one data point, but doesn't inspire confidence.

Apparently, I was too vague. I'm not convinced that what I have in mind is this ambitious.

1) Database with objects likely to be found together and statistical weights next to them.

2) Image recognition that can link to the database from 1.

3) Lidar that will allow the quadcopter to map environment in 3D regardless of how it labeled objects.

4) Any object that shows up that shows a statistical unlikely placement triggers the quadcopter to fly around it in a circle in an attempt to get a different picture so that a relabel attempt can be made.

I do admit that my total understanding of how good image recognition is isn't state of the art, but I thought there were some success stories.

> Btw, if you think that sort of thing can work and that all you need is an AI, a quadcopter and a huge database- why don't you try it? The rewards would be astronomical, well worth any investment.

This does sound a bit like, "If you're so smart why aren't you rich." I suppose I won't be able to implement the plan because A) I don't have access to massive databases that contain objects and the other objects they are likely to be found next to and B) I don't think my "fly around weird stuff and try to relabel" algorithm is likely to have a very good business model.
As 'dan00 points out, without the ability to retain the results of the innovation process over generations, innovating pretty much goes to waste. What makes us special is a combination of ability to innovate, to pass it to others, to pass it to next generations, to build new innovations upon the old ones, and the ability to build stable societies that let us extend the scope of innovation to things beyond capability of single individual. As much as shared stories are crucial for building and maintain societies, it's an important element of what makes us special.

WRT. the social part, I'm reminded of something 'lisper keeps saying - that the minimum viable reproductive unit for homo sapiens is a tribe or a village.
> basically just health care providers.

From my understanding, it only applies to companies accepting health insurance and Medicare/Medicaid.

If it's private pay/out of pocket only, HIPAA doesn't apply.

You really do need privilege. Not everyone has regular access to a computer or internet even these days. And not every is in an environment where it's considered ok to sit and tinker with software all day.

More importantly we need people in our industry who have interests beyond just tinkering with things all days. We need balanced individuals who have skills beyond just code, who can look at problems from a wide array of viewpoints. If we only hire hackers who have been coding since they were young we're hiring an incredibly narrow set of people while trying to solve problems for billions of people around the world. That's not efficient! It's good for our ability to solve problems that we expand the tech community to include diverse individuals, including folk who didn't code as kids.
They are checking the shape of inputs and outputs, making it unnecessary to test that a function returns a value of a particular type or that this value has particular fields. They make sure you don't make stupid mistakes, leaving it up to you to test really valuable bits of logic.

This is certainly how I feel; there are large parts of my codebases that I don't think will convert well if I was to change, where we leveraged flow to great effect.

However I certainly take the point that flow has been developer hostile. When we have had issues it has been impossible to get a response (here is a demo, is this a bug or in the pipeline?).

Though flow is v0.91 and Typescript is 3.2, i don't know if i can really fault them that much?

I don't trust TS, they are too much 'move fast and break things'.
Close but not right. String players have to learn to place their fingers in locations that are consistent with equal temperament tuning, or they will sound of out key. It would be fine if a string quartet played on its own, but even then, most would play in ET not JT because otherwise everybody would complain it sounds funny.

I have a lovely blues album by a guy who plays a keyboard in JT. most people who hear it ask me to turn if off "because it sounds wrong" and that includes musicians! it sounds fine to me because I grew up listening to ragas and developed an appreciation for alternate tunings.
I'm not sure why this is being downvoted when it is definitely true. Real biomed companies were approached, but universally turned Theranos down because they knew the limitations what what Theranos was attempting. In the face of that rejection, Holmes turned to military/gov't people and investors with big names, but no real healthcare clout.
I attend UT Austin and it's pretty well known the CS school is particularly overcrowded, especially wrt lack of professors.

Its ranking went up a lot somewhat recently, so I think its a growing pains thing. ECE is a bigger major but we don't have the same problems because the department has been around longer and growth not so fast.
It's right ... but those things are not really 'fictions'.

OP: an example of shared fiction he uses in the book is the law. The law is a fiction in the sense that it is not a physical object, but a group of shared concepts that allows society to be built to a higher order. "Sapiens" is a great read.
A couple of my friends in the CSE program (not at texas though) had to take on a 5th year due to the poor scheduling. Doesn't help that you have to apply to the program after you are already a freshman, so if you bomb a tough math or physics class your first semester you are set back pretty far and have to build up your GPA to even get into the major.

Because you're assuming maintaining the same eating habits. I have literally consumed no overt oils for a year now, have had no need for a cooking fat, and have had no lack in creative dishes. I eat flavorful curries, soups, etc. If I want something similar to sauted, I can use water or broth. If I want something crispy, I can bake. You just lack creative imagination to see that it's possible.

A flexible type system like that of TypeScript is pretty big and complex. It would take considerable time and effort to get that through TC39, I think. It could happen, but seems far off to me.

It’s unclear if employees / candidates know this at all, which is why I didn’t name the company.
Yes, exactly that if the email provider hasn’t put in place sufficient defences. Why wouldn’t they be liable? They have a duty of care under GDPR to protect your personal data. If they are negligent in that duty then absolutely they should be liable.

Because all these ideas (regulation, minimum wage, laborisation, etc) protect existing workers and harms lower skilled or newcomers, foreigners, minorities, etc. Many computer professionals still remember how nice it was to be able to get an edge by giving up something (undercut competitors to get the first crucial project in the portfolio, not being judged by your credentials, etc)

My prediction - time will pass and the idea of a labor organization will become the norm in IT world as well. Perhaps even a requirement to be certified by some kind of professional organization to be hired at all. But this will hurt newcomers.
Things are quite different from the first few years. Typescript has largely converged with the capabilities of Flow as a type system, though from its "different direction". It's not entirely ML-ish algebraic types, but it's a usefully fair approximation that has a lot of pragmatic tools to get the job done. Similarly too, the type inferencing engine isn't a "proper" ML-ish one, but it's gotten very good at what it does, again to the point where things are starting to feel a lot more similar to Flow's support than ever. Especially because Typescript is getting a huge workout as the inferencing engine in VSCode, Atom, VS Proper (sometimes), and increasingly more IDEs even for raw JS projects with little to no type information.

Even if you don't believe in the old Unix adage that "worse is better", Typescript today isn't that demonstrably worse than Flow. Depending on your metrics, such as general availability of community-supported type information, Typescript in increasing ways better.
I'm not sure if this is a statewide thing or what but in Eugene we have a "BottleDrop" facility- it's a big warehouse with a storefront where you can take individual bottles/cans for refund, or you can bag them up in bulk and drop them off and they process them for you, and you get a credit applied to your account which you can cash out at most of the local grocery stores.

I always do the bulk option, you can just drop bags off at a drive-up location. They charge a small percentage to handle it for you but it's worth it to me to have someone else handle it.
False, for reasons others have already pointed out.

True temperament is meant to address guitar intonation problems regardless of the temperament. It's basically impossible to get a guitar intoned correctly over the fret board using straight frets because of the different string gauges. So it's not specifically meant for just intonation.
Great news, their product is awesome and this will hopefully let more people use it.

Knowing that Citus is available as an option if you need to scale makes Postgres that much more compelling of a default choice for data store.

>"These are systemic problems in the industry, though. Leaving google will almost certainly place you in a company where the situation is worse, and where the ability to set industry standards is less."

These issues seem to be particularly acute in Silicon Valley. "The industry" is much more than companies located in the Bay Area and Peninsula in Northern California. There is no shortage of companies out there that have zero tolerance for sexual harassment, who do not pursue projects related to censorship or the Pentagon. I know because I have worked at them. They are only worse than Google salary-wise. Let's not pretend that Google employee's primary concerns are trying to set "industry standards" or that they're somehow looking out for all of us.
Ha, if only is was that straight forward.

For DVD, there were almost two standards (yet again), but computer manufacturers Apple, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Microsoft basically forced the video industry to stop messing around and use the same format.

But otherwise? Phonograph cylinders vs disks (records), VHS vs Betamax, Blu-ray vs HD-DVD, etc. XBox vs Playstation vs Switch vs PC exclusives. The list goes on, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
It's kind of revisionist to consider the last 60 years (if we're generous) but more like 10 years as proof that intelligent beings got there through some massive amount of cooperation across borders and beyond close-knit groups

>>Sapiens can cooperate in extremely flexible ways with countless numbers of strangers.

Human intelligence has been around a lot longer than a few decades and for the vast vast majority of that time has not only still dominated the world but sects of people were uncooperative and competing with each other all the time, wiping out people here and there without a though otherwise.

If the main thesis is that a common language lead to cooperation and therefore world dominance, that's false too. People have dominated the earth for a while, and with a language, and without much cooperation but through fighting and spilled blood.
Yet we are on a U.S. based website talking about a U.S. company and its American workforce and a story published in a U.S. newspaper, so we will stick with the common convention and not go on semantics tangents.
That's certainly true and they are illegally working. But maybe your image of a student might be a bit narrow? There's a large industry in Europe of language schools. You pay the school/country a few thousand euros/pounds and in return you get a student visa + basic language course. Not all, but many students are coming from pretty bad places in the hope of somehow landing a work visa(Italy and Portugal will grant citizenship if you can prove ancestry for example). The friends of my wife that told me about their lives/this practice, none of them where working for "spending money".

> Even plants use the mathematical properties of fractals to make effective structures.

I think a better way to put it would be that plant growth processes exhibit patterns that can be modelled by the mathematics of fractals. "Using mathematics", the way I see it, evokes a mind that uses abstract mental constructs (organized as "mathematics") for the purpose of modelling some aspect of reality. To the best of our knowledge, plants seem to lack that kind of mind.
