So if a wall with a “carbon footprint close to Ireland’s annual CO2 emissions” keeps out just one more immigrant/year, your point “still stands” and it’s just a matter of “amortization time.” Your reasoning here is about as sound as your mischaracterization by a factor of five of the number of immigrants crossing illegally.

> raw algorithmic skill

It's been ages that I've been asked anything remotely algorithmic. My interviews are mostly about frameworks, how you fit in a team and whether you know / can be "agile".

Not even a Fizzbuzz, much less so quicksort or more special algorithms.

> and willingness to say “I don’t know”

That never got me anything in any interview/company. To be fair, I found a few smart and cool friends because of this, but they themselves don't look as if they've found a good job either.

Being hired (valued?) as a senior engineer is really hard.

This move isn’t going to change much. Children under 4 already don’t pay, and children under 10 pay half price. But overall it’s fairly rare to see kids commute by subway in Paris. Most kids go to school not far from where they live.

For those who may believe that this is going to increase the number of kids begger in the subway, I’d say that these guys already don’t pay...

I agree that you have evidence for a theory that there is no soul; I disagree on whether that is evidence against a generic afterlife.

Two things could be simultaneously true: First, that the "mind is a function of some kind of computational substrate that can be understood in purely materialistic terms." Second, that there is this kind of an afterlife.

An afterlife doesn't require the existence of a soul. It could "just" be another computational substrate that runs the function of the mind.

> Now you're back in "the government is putting hallucinogens in the water" territory.

This infinitely powerful computer system is just a metaphor for a deity that is omniscient. I could have equivalently said "Suppose there is a deity that knows everything about the universe. Then it could copy the contents of the brain upon death and run the brain in a simulation." If you're going to say that the existence of an omniscient deity is equivalent to hallucinogens in the water supply, then we're not going to convince each other of anything, since I came into this discussion assuming that we were taking a generic omniscient deity as a reasonable given.
Side points;

- Justified or not his wife might be jeopardising her husbands future employment with her tweets. Any new employer has to consider what if I have to fire him again for whatever reason. You're risking angry wife dragging you/company through the media. No-one wants that regardless of being in the right or not.

- She says 'I'm not covered by NDA' and brings up information about about pay/benefits etc. She might be creating an issue here if Tesla wants to push back. It pretty obvious he husband told her those things so while its normal to discuss with your wife, is that an NDA breach on his behalf?

I think this is a good lesson in biting your tongue and focusing on the end game. Howl at the moon but not social media. She can't possibly think this rant will help him keep his job, get a better payout or get a new job.

What’s really creepy is how a lot of marketing companies are paying students in medical school to recommend their products. Apparently doctors recommending things is a technique that doesn’t work anymore so any group that still has “credibility” in the public’s mind is apt to be persuaded to be an “influencer”.

Turbotax is awesome and I have never had the government come back and say I owe more. If that’s happening to you, you clearly aren’t doing your taxes correctly.
Something that is not clear to me - suppose that the government in one of these countries that makes it easy to file your taxes doesn't do it correctly and you sign it and file it. Who is liable?

If the taxpayer can relieve their obligation by filing a government provided return, with the option to correct it, that sounds great. But if the onus is on the taxpayer to correct mistakes by the government, then all that is really happening is free government provided tax prep which may have a value of zero or less.
I avoid BART as much as possible because of the filth and crazy people. Often the escalators are broken because they're clogged with human feces.[1] And that's just with homeless people sleeping outside the stations or on the cars while BART is operating. It would be far worse if they slept in the stations overnight.

So yes, I'm willing to tell some homeless people to go to a shelter (of which there are plenty in the city) rather than ruin a transit system used by half a million commuters.

Then why do people get tax refunds? Clearly the government and your employer get withholding wrong, so why would we trust them to calculate our bill? They have absolutely no incentive to minimize your taxes and every incentive to maximize them.
Not to leave you guys hanging about my specific case, the process we do is as almost as automated as possible.

It shouldn't be wrong to assume that a contracted amount of money will actually be given to you without an added assessment that "if I'm laid off I should still get that money". Contracts cannot be used the same way one can code defensively, because when humans are involved defensive moves are also hostile moves- and the only way keeping the negotiations going is leverage on both sides.
Ah I thought they yanked all the bonus back. I guess it's more fair if it's only proportional, but at the same time it seems a bit underhanded to only give part of a signing bonus because you closed the position. I can see both sides I guess.

Saying “I don’t know” is also very important for devops people, but for slightly different reasons; we’re likely to have a little bit of knowledge about everything, and it’s import for us to be explicit about where our expertise dries up.

I tried Pranayama for some time, but found it to be very complicated to follow for 20 minutes at a stretch. In contrast, the Wim Hof method was very easy to follow. The feeling of increased energy, and the absence of nasal congestion for a certain period afterwards, was instant. Wim Hof also claims long-term benefits.

The only drawback I felt was a kind of nervous energy which made it slightly harder to focus on a long piece of text etc., similar to having too much coffee in one go.
Yep; sales tax, VAT, GST, they are all pretty much the same thing. And the fact that in the US they vary by location was what I was alluding to.

> I guess that is why it is not included in the price by default

I hear that argument a lot but it does not really make sense to me. The place of purchase knowns what their tax rate is in their current location because the cash register has that information (and I assume this sales tax does not change very frequently?). So why not print out or display the prices with that tax included?
Who would you rather have it governed by? Facebook? Microsoft? Amazon? Wall Street? DARPA? US Govt? EU? China? Russia?

At an abstract level: any organization, run by humans, with a lot of power over critical aspects of our life is bound to get corrupted due to that power. Its just that some organizations are less bad than others. And I believe Google isn't much worse than many other realistic alternatives.
I am a fan of giving new nicknames to things when I do any noticeable, even collateral, in extremely early stage, improving.

Financially wise, must be a good thing to do, too, but it is not the main point. The main point is Not that I sound smarter when I use the new nickname(therefore this is not exactly sarcasm), but that I can have a more-at-hand/shorter way to identify the new, subtly improved version, and It saves a lot of words, in the "spoken". colloquial, communication.

Now for the matters of Science improvement itself, I mean, like for Humanity and stuff, I am not clear if this is good, maybe. Science and business, in a very subtle, almost invisible way, mixed. Always have been like this, and it probably will continue like this, for a while.
If you have some time to read "how Google works" you would be surprised by how long the company ran on NFS. I assume there are lots of workloads running on Borg to this day on top of NFS. If that isn't enough for you you should have a look in the client list of Isilon and see which kind of work they do, in case you ever attend a SIGGRAPH most of what you see is built on top of NFS, so, essentially, all of the computer graphics you see in movies.

It's unacceptable on the level of treating people with appropriate acknowledgement of the inherent fuzziness of society- employees need time to get hired elsewhere, and employers need time to find a replacement- thus it is courteous to give notice on both sides of the relationship. By not acknowledging this fuzziness of human society, one is also giving the message that people will not be treated with what is the standard understanding of human dignity.
It's not a widespread concern for the US. Not that it can't happen here in small pockets, but Ebola is a uniquely African problem, which is allowed to spread from a combination of political instability, African ritual family washing of the dead, aversion to cremation, poor health infrastructure, endemic malaria which has similar initial symptoms, lack of education, porous borders, poor public health infrastructure, and a seasonal migratory workforce that can carry disease across borders.

As I just posted elsewhere, having a form prefilled would be a negative if the taxpayer is liable for mistakes, as is the current US system. I would like to know if, in countries where taxes are simpler, the government takes responsibility for its own mistakes.

I mean, if the pre-filled return were grossly wrong, and the IRS changed its mind later and wanted more money, that would be tolerable. But it would not be tolerable to treat it as evasion or negligence to file what they provide me. I am wondering how it works in other countries now.
What sounds reasonable to you about someone making $10-20 an hour having to pay $1000 just to start working? In order to make any money you have to work 50-100 hours (not including tax and whatnot). 1-3 full weeks working before you are back to where you started - how does that seem like a reasonable business model?

I would love to buy something... anything better than a fixer upper, within a few minutes of a BART station that would allow me no more than a 60 minute commute into SF, but that doesn’t look realistic on less than a $400K household income.

My question is why would you want to switch to web development. IMO ML Engineering is an exciting field, I am curious to hear what your struggles are or qualms with the field.
I'm not OP, but when I've experienced this, it's very similar to something like "I've seen a million heist movies, but absolutely could not steal shampoo from a CVS". There's a very big difference between talking about doing something and actually doing it; there's a level of executive function that's required.

More specifically, you make so many small executive decisions when coding. Naming, how functions and classes are designed, which file/module this goes in, is this already tested, oh I found an unrelated bug, do I make a ticket, a new PR, or include it in this one, etc etc etc. The only thing I've seen that can answer those questions is homework--maybe previous work, but homework is better.

But I think you're remiss if you're not asking your senior engineering candidates how they make those decisions, not because the answers to relatively trivial questions are important, but because you should know--and they should be able to articulate--how they make those decisions, and they should know the pros and cons of their approach and other approaches.

Six hour take home tests is fine, but I want $1350 for that in advance as a consultation fee, and if I hit 6 hrs and it's not done yet they can keep paying until I am done or we can just end it, no refunds.

The idea that I should spend six hours doing free programming for random companies that say they are desperate to find anyone qualified is absolutely absurd and insulting. No one should put up with that, particularly anyone with an established and verifiable career.
This seems like a bad idea. Building muscles using one exercise like that without developing the opposite muscle groups will lead to imbalance that could cause pain or bad posture. Also I expect doing as many pushups as possible every day could cause wrist or shoulder problems. You are likely to cause tendon injuries if you start trying to reach your max reps every day without building up much more gradually.

Intuit is really corrupt. Use someone else if for tax filing. There are better alternatives.
Just fill out form 1040, the IRS provides instruction booklet on how to fill it out. Both the form and the instructions are available on their website. Then use software (I reccomend taxhawk, don't overpay for turbotax) and compare the 1040 they generated with your manual 1040. If they match, great. If not, figure out why.
82gb/s (assuming you mean gigabit) is _per-node_ throughput at Google (or FB, or I assume Amazon/Microsoft -- they all use 100GbE networks now). 300K IOPS is probably per-node, too, at this point. :-)
I never said anything about a soul. And I never said that mind is a function of "some kind of computational substrate." I said mind is a function of brain, which is a very particular kind of computational substrate with very specific properties, one of which is that it is impossible (given current technological constraints) to make a copy of it.

> Suppose there is a deity that knows everything about the universe

What difference does it make if you call it a "deity" or an "intelligent alien" or a "government conspiracy" or a leprechaun? Yes, brain-cloning technology is possible in principle (as far as we know) but there is no evidence that it actually exists anywhere. Likewise, a vast conspiracy to produce fake evidence for a round earth is also possible in principle, but there is no evidence for it. These two things have the exact same ontological status.

> I came into this discussion assuming that we were taking a generic omniscient deity as a reasonable given.

Huh??? Why would you assume that?

I just went through all of the post-mortems for my own company's purposes of evaluating Kubernetes. I've been running Kubernetes clusters for about a year and a half and have run into a few of these, but here's what I found striking:

* About half of the post-mortems involve issues with AWS load balancers (mostly ELB, one with ALB)
* Two of the post-mortems involve running control plane components dependent on consensus on Amazon's `t2` series nodes

This was pretty surprising to me because I've never run Kubernetes on AWS. I've run it on Azure using acs-engine and more recently AKS since its release, and on Google Cloud Platform using GKE; and it's a good reminder not to to run critical code on T series instances because AWS can and will throttle or pause these instances.
To steel-man your point, I agree that legislature that amounts to surface level micromanagement is almost always counter productive. I like your macroeconomic approach to these issues.

Still, I found your counterexamples here dismissive but unconvincing. Loan sharks and kneecappings are precisely the things we need legislature against. Contract law by itself can't prevent desperate people from signing loan-shark contracts. "No good reason to be operating an unsafe workplace" is still enough reason to use children in coal mines until actual labor laws get passed. Anti-slavery laws are pretty plainly laws against powerful individuals enslaving weaker individuals--not sure what you mean with the "laws against laws" card there.

To be clear heritability is about the differences within individuals and not a raw value by itself. For instance if we have a trait with 80% heritability and one individual is measured at 120 against the average of 100, then this would mean that 4 points (20% of the 20 point difference) would be attributable to non-genetic factors. Some confuse the term to mean that e.g. 20% of the entire value would be attributable to environmental factors. In other words a heritability of 80% does not mean that 80% of a trait is genetic - it means that 80% of observed differences in a trait can be attributed to genetics.

As a not directly related aside this also leads to another really interesting aspect of heritability. It changes as the average environmental situation changes. As we get closer and closer to environmentally equal, any given trait's heritability approaches 100% as the only differences left between individuals become genetic. As an obvious example consider height. Malnourishment tends to stunt an individual's growth. So in an area where some significant chunks of the population were malnourished and others were not, you'd see a much lower heritability for height than in places like the US where that environmental factor has been mostly eliminated.
