Kind of silly that he got a lengthy sentence after arguing that he was "testing" the software, didn't spend any of the money, and returned it all when asked.
You're joking, right? Broken transit systems, barely maintained roads, large backlogs of intersections that need lights leading to safety incidents even deaths, planners that accept everything a developer or NIMBY can say... No, we don't optimize for shit except perhaps councilors pocketbooks and re-election.

We wish these systems were optimized, but they're not. If they were, we'd at least see pushes to get people to live closer to work, the rejection of NIMBYs in favor of multiunit developers in central areas while in distant areas we'd see rejection of developers in favor of improved transit.

Many areas in my city have terrible access by car or public transit because the city has kept pushing back road and transit improvements while allowing developers to keep going. It's gotten so bad a few developers were offering to do road widening for the city on an interest free loan as their property values were taking a hit due to a reputation for long commutes - unfortunately that fell through even, it's a mess, a completely unoptimized mess.

This is the United States sentiment of "you should make your own way" when 99% of the time it's all luck.

It's luck based on what race you were born as, gender, social class, geography, family situation, and mental / physical health you end up with. If you're a middle-class white guy from the suburbs of a major metro your "social mobility" into a "tech job in SV" is a bit higher than most people.

Our egos like to think we're responsible for all of our success when most of the time it's luck.
Freezing also kills some potentially zoonotic parasites that may be present in fish.

Unless you're buying it straight off the docks, or pulling it out of the water yourself, any unfrozen fish you see has likely been thawed on site, after delivery.

"Fresh" fish means that it was frozen on the boat, and just thawed today.

I sometimes make nigiri sushi by sawing slices off of a frozen fish filet with a kitchen-use-only coping saw. Then I put it in the fridge for the next day. Comes out fine. If I wanted, I could freeze the rice with it, and have sushi later in the week.
Those older SSL and TLS versions are insecure now or at least deemed a bad idea from today's security ideas. TLS 1.3 partly was about removing insecure modes from TLS 1.2. If HTTP/3.0 supported anything other than TLS 1.3, then those insecure setups would persist.

Of course there are disadvantages, like when you are in a lan or such. But I think those cases are covered well by the HTTP/1.x family already and if not you can always add root certificates yourself or make public DNS names you control point to your 192.168.... address.

Wonder how many of those people (who I'm assuming were frauds), tried to "make it up to you" by speaking well about your company to others. Seems like something a psyche might do to balance out the lie; "Yes, I lied, but I made it up to them by saying good things about them to my friend, so I am still a good person."

And perhaps more importantly, how many of them would have gone on a campaign of vengeance had you not given them a refund, and spoken badly about your company to perhaps thousands of people through online forums.

If the owners of the almond orchards were, say, thousands of small farmers instead of a billionaire, I think I could put a really positive slant on this story:

* The amount of protein one gets from almonds per unit of water is far higher than the amount of protein one gets from raising livestock

* Almonds are considered a relatively healthy food with relatively high quantities of antioxidants (including vitamin e)

* Almond trees sequester carbon but livestock create additional methane -- one of the worst greenhouse gases

* Trees clean the air of other pollutants

* At least some of the water used to water almond trees soaks back into the ground without becoming fouled by animal waste products

* California water policies are helping the little guy -- the small farmer and poor immigrants
Scharff is normally described as a Luftwaffe interrogator, which not only tells you "this guy was active somewhere between 1933 and 1945", but also "immediately emphasizes the contrast between "the value of kindness" and the culture brutality that would have been all around him" and even in which part of the military forces he worked, which is even more valuable (i.e. Luftwaffe, not SS or Gestapo). Finally it does imply NSDAP membership, and indeed Scharff was never a party member and is unlikely to be a Nazi of conviction.
If you read my comment. I'm suggesting that you don't inject ketamine and instead you should snort it. I'm not suggesting that snorting black market ketamine is safer than a clinic.

Though, ketamine is pretty damn safe, and it's rarely adulterated on the black market. In powder form, it forms crystals so it's hard to fake.

A priori, you can always say that something regulated is more safe than something not. But if you're a savvy consumer, you can significantly mitigate or eliminate that risk.

This doesn't seem that difficult to implement into a story. There are 125 earnings reports today [1], a retelling of the headline numbers with competitor analysis should fit the bill for reporting on most of them.

I think the tiny house trend is the symptom of growing wealth gaps in many places (especially the US).

People are finding themselves unable to afford traditional housing, and therefore want something that doesn't require a large amount of debt (on top of an already likely student debt).

My grandparents for example, could afford a traditional ranch style house on a single apprentice plumber salary back in the 60s. Good luck finding that today.
> I wouldn't take unlimited vacation as a sign of anything other than "we expect you to be reasonable and we don't want to micro-manage everything."

In truth, though, the sole reason companies use unlimited vacation policy is that, in the US at least, it means unused vacation time does not accrue as a liability on the balance sheet, and companies aren't required to pay out for it if you leave.
CRISPR Is Coming to Our Plates
- Split up the task you have in mind into smaller tasks and assign each dev to them

- Make each of them watch online videos and do independent research and learn as much as they can in 1-2 weeks. Measure them every two days.

- Post two weeks ask them to build a small application in the third week. eg:login functionality with password reset and captcha.

- In the fourth week, ask them to build the entire chunk of work you cut out for them. Push them a little to achieve it. (They might need 2-3 weeks to get it done though)

- Keep adding new tasks and assign new learnings.
Highly optimized and well defined solutions are by definition inflexible. Because they are the result of removing everthing which is not relevant for the task. If you are a company handling thousand of letters per minute, then you don't have any reason to be flexible, because the task does not change between the iterations. I mean we are talking here about industrial level of optimization, not some dude in his small office stamping his three letters a day. Companies on such level optimize everything from highest to lowest levels, because any optimization can make a difference of millions of whatever currency they use.

In that scale, nothing is simple, because everything can become expensive on the high run.

I don't mind living in a small house (maybe not that small). But, the problem with most houses I see today, is that they're designed incredibly Ugly. I'm talking about the classic 2 car garage in front with an enormous concrete slab in-front (3 or 4 cars wide!!), and a little L shape next to it on a lot that's too small to accomodate such a layout and as a result, the neighbors house is 2 feet on each side.

Why can't they simply build a smaller footprint at the bottom, say half the size. make it two stories that way the neighbors house is further away and place the garage in the back somewhere and put a nice stone paved driveway (not too wide) leading to the back where the garage is.

The key to making these houses look nice whether it's small or large, is the ratio of height to width and length, as wells the features: such as a small tower, the slope of the roof, etc.
Look at what's "trending", look at what's popular, I'm not talking about the .01%. The .01% don't affect society.

It's not about how hard you work. It's about how many people can do what you do.

Don't sell yourself short, in tech you have skills that only a small percentage of the population are capable of doing. We might all say "Programming is easy" or "I really only work half the day" but for many people Programming is seen as witchcraft, and for many what would take a skilled developer an hour would take a whole day (or worse, they might just do the task manually).

If your not satisfied with programming you can of course go into teaching, if that's what you think is truly fulfilling.
I would also argue that writing code is a grind. I would enjoy writing code maybe 2-4 hours a day tops but when you want to get something done and code for 7 hours straight it is really tough to do.

Learning new concepts all the time, emotional waves, errors that can impact companies on a large scale. Programming is really difficult and requires constant engagement in the industry.

Spend time investigating how you could make the build faster. (tweak makefiles, compile only some parts, divide the app in shared libraries, stop using too many templates, move slow parts with lots of templates to a utility library, etc...)
> Is it weird inviting guests over?

A few people are fine but more than that and it's crowded. I usually visit others or meet friends other places, like at a restaurant. Going to a park or campground and having a cookout works great.

> How do you store your food, specifically perishables?

I have a fridge.

> About how much do you spend on gas per month?

It varies. If I'm not traveling it's in the range of $150-275/m. If I travel it's 10mpg so roughly $0.28/mi.

> Do you ever feel unsafe, such as when you park the bus in a public lot? Do you carry a baseball bat/etc onboard?

No. I don't park places I'd feel unsafe. I typically park on the street. I avoid bad areas. I have pepper spray, a stun gun, knives, and blunt objects I could use for personal defense if necessary.

> How do you wash your clothes? Do you take them to a laundromat or wash them yourself?

Laundromat. I may add a washer / drier combo at some point. I'd have to give up a decent amount of space for it though.
Is the expansion a matter of tearing the connecting walls down to the studs and building back up?

Making it as a 'lego' would require a lot of research. That would only pay if I would open a business based on that. So, for now, I'm only making the main entrance near a corner. This door will connect with the second module (if I ever build it). The heat source will be near this corner also.

I'm slowly making the project and planning to build it myself as much as possible. It helps that I'm originally an architect (buildings not IT) and used to help my father on trades.

> The idea that the German military was somehow separate and therefore immune from the moral fallout of Nazi atrocities is a right-wing myth.

Yes. It's a carefully devised myth and it even has a name: "the myth of the clean Wehrmacht" [1]. As if this wasn't bad enough, a particularly pernicious sub-myth of the "clean Wehrmacht" is the romantic rehabilitation of the Waffen-SS in popular culture, seen as elite professional soldiers fighting for the freedom of Europe or some garbage like that, often emphasizing and exaggerating their military exploits at the expense of their ideology and war crimes.

>But places near oceans tend to place more importance on seafood

Yeah, $10 fish and chips sold for $20 tourist trap restaurant that would be out of business anywhere else maybe.

I grew up near the ocean where fishing was the #2 industry behind tourism (if you ignore all the trades that support the tourism industry). I know how that sausage is made.

I'd rather eat prepared seafood in Des Moines. At least there the relationship between what you pay and what you get will be more consistent.

>Access to fish markets and sell-through rates are more important than proximity to an ocean

Fully agree.
These changes to the Chrome API haven't even happened yet and it's unlikely they'll ship in their current state.

If "hammock" means a place you just comfortably rest in, then why should it?

Someone who needs help? Sure, let's help them. Someone who just wants to be lazy? It's really unclear why they are more entitled to my money than I am.

Haha I remember thinking that when I read the Epic of Gilgamesh in school. I thought, “this story can not possibly be as boring as the translation is making it.”

Years later, reading all different sorts of literature in a effort to make myself “more cultured,” I realized how different certain pieces of literature made me feel (I know, duh) despite them all being written originally in English, and I despaired that even great translations were probably cutting out or changing a lot of meaning.

I thought that was interesting, so I just checked - the EU as a whole has about 52.5 million people living in countries they were not born in (including other EU countries) and a total population of about 512 million. So that's about 10%. The US has about 44.5 million foreign born in it, with a total population of about 328 million. So that's about 13.5%.

So no, the EU does not have more immigrants than the US per capita. If you remove European citizens moving to other European countries, they don't have as many immigrants by sheer number, either.

The main problem with teaching is that there's many people who can do it. If you compound the issue with paying teachers $150k a year, not only would the cost of education skyrocket, you would be running into more and more people unemployed but with a degree specifically meant for teaching.

I'm not saying everyone can teach equally. I'm saying most everyone can become qualified to teach. Please don't accuse me of saying teaching is easy. At the very least, a much larger subset can learn to teach than can learn to code.
Companies Try 'Nudging' Their Way to Better Ethics
I worked three years remote. I found that to be the most effective way work for work life balance. It might have helped the worked for a small company and I was the only developer.

It was great because I didn't waste time with downtime at work or traffic etc. I was able to make all my pregnant wife's doctor's appointments with out really having to ask for time off. I work best on big projects at night when it's quiet and don't function well on big thinking items in the morning.

I left this awesome job for more money, which ultimately was a mistake.

I need my side project, because it helps me get thru the day, it gives me hope.

Shameless plug, but I'm looking for remote work.
> (1) Americans don’t actually care about education, as evidenced by the amount teachers make

Americans care very much about education but the system we're in doesn't. Kids have no value in a market economy until they have purchase power (or influence on purchase power). In a highly inequal society that means very fancy private schools, for those who can pay. And neglected public schools for the rest. The outlook of a market economy is not 18 years, it's 1 year (and often quarter-to-quarter).
Unless it was for the sheer joy of doing the work yourself, is there any particular reason you didn't buy a gently used motorhome for $15-20k and upgrade as necessary (e.g. the solar array and lithium batteries)? You cite the $50k cost but that sounds excessive to me with considerably less work.
