It's the elitist career path of the people from oligarch/aristocracy/magnate circles. Might be quite surprising for someone believing in the US' "rags to riches" myth (dead by now) but it doesn't surprise anyone in countries with strong family clans of various kinds (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden - just replace the Ivy league with Oxbridge, grandes écoles, etc).
Product Management: what people don't tell you
I’ve worked with a few billionaires and a bunch of multi-millionaires and having had this conversation, can tell that the inflection point is where your lifestyle untethers from your finances.

For example, if you just had twins and live in a big city paying for those kids education/uprbringing is going to cost maybe ~$2-4m (NPV) even if you have $10m, that is really meaningful number to you, and less so at $30m, $300m, $1b etc.

Once you hit that inflection point (which is different for everyone) the conversation changes from how do I aforrd to [pay for my kid’s education] to what do I want to do with my life, what do I enjoy doing, what is my legacy going to be....
New React Native Component for Google Recaptcha V2
That's a bit biased. "Easy 2/18" insists that "Invite friends..." is the default button and should be blue, while "Skip" button should be white which makes look like it's not a button at all, so a user does not realize that he can skip the useless spamming "Invite" step. I think it's a bad design.

My point is that “Nazi interrogator” just means he was an interrogator for Nazi Germany, since it’s that country's defining charteristic.
Although not directly mentioning it, the post seems to imply that things were better in the past. I like this 2013 article from the Guardian better because it goes deeper into fundamental issues with news, independent from the "internet age".

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/apr/12/news-is-bad-ro...

Key points for me:

News has no explanatory power. News items are bubbles popping on the surface of a deeper world. Will accumulating facts help you understand the world? Sadly, no. The relationship is inverted. The important stories are non-stories: slow, powerful movements that develop below journalists' radar but have a transforming effect.

[...]

Society needs journalism – but in a different way. Investigative journalism is always relevant. We need reporting that polices our institutions and uncovers truth. But important findings don't have to arrive in the form of news.

I stopped reading news around 2011, while I was working at a big news site, within a building complex of about half a dozen more publications including online, print, paid, free, weekly and daily. Seeing how the sausage is made has overall increased my respect for journalists, but decreased the one for the process of publication and the business behind it. It easy to blame corporate overloads, but the pressure for almost real time news comes in part from the readers.

At first I sought to solve the potential problem of being uninformed of not reading news technically. Thinking about building an aggregator with a more objective way to judge news-worthiness and relevancy than the existing ones and news sites. But then I realized there is already a good enough solution in place: If something is important for me to care about, it will eventually reach me in some way or another trough social interactions (mostly offline since i don't use social media much). And because of the delay of information getting to me, I'm way more likely to get actual useful insights when I then dig deeper than when trying to keep up with everything live.
I'm living temporarily in spain and notice something similar: they basically don't use the inner lane in roundabouts. So people go 3/4 of a lap on the outside lane which can be clogged while the inside is empty.
I give to charity too, so what? They live and got lucky in the country they are then refusing to assist proportionally with their means. Most of them are not Bill Gates, while they toss their pocket change to some charities, they lobby to Congress for favorable laws and live an insular existence that doesn't go near the common man.

No, it's not. It's asking you to simply not post nasty stuff. It doesn't mean you have to embrace other cultures, sexualities or whatnot. It doeesn't even mean you have to like them. It just means keep any nasty comments about such things to yourself (or go say it elsewhere).

It's a really sad time for humanity if common courtesy is now considered "left-wing".
The early examples are intentionally that way to make them more approachable. Later examples use this pattern with the Vue Cli. Its a great observation and I'll update the readme.
The solution to biased or inaccurate sources isn't to consume no sources. It's to consume more than one source, preferably many. When you see the same story reported in 6 different ways, you start to notice patterns. You see that certain sources leave out crucial information, while others focus on those. You see headlines written in salacious forms, and sometimes you see a headline change during the course of the day because, perhaps the original one wasn't generating enough clicks. For a critical reader, these clues help to make one more critical, not less, no matter how biased the source.

> Would love to use Emacs, but it's a nightmare to set up.

Maybe you would like spacemacs then? It is a Configuration Bundle for Emacs focusing on "Evil Mode" (aka the Vim emulator in Emacs). It is just a few minutes to install and if you already familiar with vim then there should not be much change what the normal editor usage is concerned. Of course the customization is Emacs lisp which has a bit of a learning curve, but just to get started with Emacs and evil you don't really need to customize anything.

I would argue that quantum mechanics is actually not expressed in textbooks. Instead, they have exercises and sufficient hints. Try learning QM without doing any of the exercises and you will see what I mean. On the contrary, I bet you could learn QM just fine with just a few definitions and a series of well-designed problems.

The 30 million figure was a downright lie by UK music publishers – it includes the entire lobbying budget (for the year 2016, bizarrely) of any industry association Google is listed as being a member of, which for some reason even includes the political think tank of the German CDU party, whose politicians are actually BEHIND the law, not opposed to it.

Here's an in-depth factual analysis of copyright lobbying:

With regard to health insurance specifically, the way to solve that is moving the burden of healthcare from the employer to the state.
I think another measure that could help would be to make the lobbying interests hurt. Old media companies are infamous sponsors of it. Boycott them and call for them to be split up as abusive monopolies and they might keep their heads down or die faster.
That’s not a bad idea. Spreadsheets are pure functional languages built that use literal spaces instead of namespaces.

Notebooks are cells of logic. You could conceivably change the idea of notebook cells to be an instance of a function that points to raw data and returns raw data.

So obviously a nice royalty free(I hope) collection of vector art is indicated with proper tags.

EDIT: Pricing does seem a bit crazy for what is an auto-generated logo. (In Theory it shouldn't matter who made the logo but psychologically one feels more comfortable paying a live human being $50 instead of a bot).
As I understand it, there are two reasons to go public: to raise money, and for investors to exit. From the way they are going public (direct listing), it doesn't appear that they are trying to raise money.

For investors, some companies get large enough that there isn't anyone who can buy them in whatever sector they are in. Going public is a way of them exiting the business and getting cash out.
It depends on what sort of redistribution you talk about.

Picketty argues that we tax income but not wealth and that's the root of our problems. I would imagine that your income is a way higher percentile than your wealth, income middle-class like you and me get smashed by income taxes (as someone from the working class in the UK it absolutely blew my mind when I learned how much wealth the people all around me had in their families, even just upper-middle class).

https://dqydj.com/net-worth-percentile-calculator-united-sta...

$1,000,000 in wealth is near the 88% in America.

If you're hanging around with people whose families live in the nice parts of London/(a major city), assume they're the top 10% ~ 1 million, assume 4% returns above inflation, they make 50k a YEAR from their assets, totally passively.

So their wealth income is way more than some relatives of mine TOTAL household income.

In effect, the upper-middle-classes are born on basic income. If you're trying to make moeny yourself - just attend that university, take that MBA course, spend 5 years on a very risky career path with internships (journalism, media). There's no point you have to worry if you can afford it you can just play a very long low-probability high upside game.

* Set clear expectations ahead of time. For example, when NicoJuicy says "Filter those that don't ask the same things 2x-3x", if you decide to take that advice then you should be clear with them "When you ask me a question and I answer it, I expect you to both write down the answer in a place where you can retrieve it for yourself and to ask follow-up questions to ensure you understand it." If you are afraid to hide your expectations because they sound harsh to you, then reflect on how stressful it is to know that you are expected to do well but to not have direction.

* Make a learning plan alongside them. You have a much better ability to curate resources that are relevant to your toolset than they do.

* Help them learn what makes a good question. Question-asking is a real skill and since they are fresh grads they might not have it. Julia Evans has some good writing on this[1][2]

* Expand the menu of questions that they know they can ask. For instance, it might not occur to them to ask you for 45 minutes of time on your calendar in order to walk through the structure, interaction flows, or major data models of the project.

* Be wary of asking them for estimates. Estimating software timelines is a hard skill. I've seen multiple new managers ask a junior dev for an estimate, receive "I don't know" in response, and then pressure the junior dev into lying. That sets up a communication roadblock. If you want to work with them on doing the task-breakdown required for an estimate, that can help as a means to teach estimation.

> comfortably work with beginners

Why is it a requirement to do so comfortably? Doing things that you are not yet skilled at is both uncomfortable and necessary to grow. It seems to me that you'd want ability to identify situations where discomfort is necessary and to tolerate discomfort.

For instance, you might decide to try programming-out-loud with them. Here, you tell them to grab notebooks and you book a conference room with a projector. Then, pick a ticket and you talk through your whole process of investigating, breaking down, planning your approach, reading through the relevant code, writing tests, refactoring, and writing code to solve the ticket. This could very well be uncomfortable for you to do and it will likely be uncomfortable for them to stop you mid-thought and ask you to explain something they didn't understand. Does that discomfort mean you shouldn't do it? Only you can answer that, but you should probably call out this discomfort explicitly and say you're going to work through it and you expect them to work through their discomfort.

Not that it's a great alternative, but SendGrid uses Handlebars templates so it's pretty easy to render it yourself using any Handlebars library.

It's very believable that language plays a role. However, such arguments happen between people with the same mother tongue. So those color axioms could be defined on a community, or even a family level. Within a population speaking one language (and having a uniform education likely plays a big role) a particular axiom probably has better chances to become more or less dominant, but still differences are apparently more complex than language -> color.

"No one is advocating legalizing those."

I am. You should be able to walk into a doctor's office and ask for a prescription to treat your addiction and withdrawal symptoms. If there's no methadone type reduced-harm variant of your drug of choice, it should be straight up prescribed to you so you can buy it in a metered, safe and pure form from a pharmacist. And your doctor should continue to try and keep you safe even if you are never able to beat the addiction.

The moral hazard into turning doctors and pharmacists into pushers and dealers is obvious, but bringing it above board should make the problem tractable.

You'd definitely save tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of lives per year in reduced overdoses, elimination of the drug war and reduction in gang warfare.
