Really? Because starting feb 28th it's only 12$/year, that's lower than pretty much any other decent TLD. Do indie devs really need the high demand domain names?
> Food production is really, really complex. If an organic burrito was labelled with every process involved in its production, it would come with a label the size of a telephone directory.

I agree with this take in general. But in labelling a product "ground beef", a consumer would consider the ingredients to be beef that is ground. Separating the meat from the fat in trimmings is good (use more of the meat please!), but the process is not grinding. If the market determines "heat-separated ground beef" (or whatever) to be less appealing, then perhaps they're right that it should demand a lower markup.

It's about nomenclature, not safety.
I think it would be a interesting exercise to judge grades the same way we judge other types of psychometric testing.

Test-retest reliability / concurrent reliability (not sure which applies):

Doesn't look great. Grades can vary dramatically between classes, even if those classes are closely related.

Predictive validity:

Not sure. I'm not sure what, if anything, GPA is meant to predict, and I've read varying things about how well it predicts success in one's career.

Face validity / construct validity:

Abysmal. What are grades supposed to measure, anyway? Work ethic? Motivation? Willingness to obey authority? Intelligence? Demonstrated mastery of the material? I have no idea.

Whatever they're meant to measure, they measure a lot of things no one would want them to, like the student's race and sex, whether or not they're working while in school, when the class starts, etc.
Until recently I would've spoken as pro-independent, having been at it the last few years as an agency. I left Corporate America to increase "freedom" but regardless of whether you charge flat-rate, hourly, weekly, retainer, etc. you're also spending those "free" hours wondering / attempting to find + secure more work. And regardless of your pipeline, it is a dance with existing clients. Payment schedules getting out of wack, revisions delaying payment and so on.

What's the real net return? Living expenses covered? Compared to a 9-5, there is a significant risk. What I realized is that if I am going to play with such levels of risk, do so through equity plays and not services. Through end of 2018, I was services only. I am mid-process interviewing with larger companies and will happily dive into my skill set for _______ while doing side projects.
Sounds a little bit like OpenBSD's pledge - was that a source of inspiration?
When I think of 'developers' I don't think of corporations with a $12k budget, sorry. What was cool about domain names back in the day was that anyone could register them, and you could get a cool name as an individual. I realize things are different now, and it's all about money.

It would be like Github launching a new web site and allowing 'developers' to select their usernames on a first-come basis if they paid $12k for the privilege. It's incredibly tacky and shows a lack of self-awareness on the part of Google.
Should we design standards for the dumbest of the lot lol? Not everyone understand that TLD is then maybe they should be educated rather than appeased to.

Also it seems to be primarily USA's issue. Every other nation uses their domain for internal websites (like cats.de) where's Americans tend to just clump everything in `.com` and act all confused by simple TLD scheme.

Builder vs. Programmer Perspective
You should take a walk around downtown Oakland. Most of the parking lots have turned into construction sites over the last 3 or 4 years. Not many tear downs happening yet(a few, like an Acura dealership across from Whole Foods getting torn down and a ~20 story apt building going up in its place), but this boom has gone on so long that the NIMBYs have finally gotten tired and thousands of apartments will be coming on the market in Oakland pretty soon.

As a long time home owner in the area I like how this is finally happening after decades of people thinking an Oakland revival was just around the corner. Most of the companies doing the construction are from out of state. Maybe they just didn't know it was impossible to build in Oakland, saw the huge potential profits, and went for it.

So, as secret as the BT tower. (Or maybe even less secret)
One sticking point I rarely see discussed with the prevailing line of thinking (noted by tptacek, patio11 and others), is that a week is a measure of time.

If that's true, there is only time-based billing, and project-based billing. I've done both types, and project-based billing has been much more dangerous for me due to the need to accurately scope (or eat costs), usually for a client that has no idea how difficult "simple" additions can be (and often when you yourself cannot). Software scoping is effectively impossible to do accurately, and I've found the only way to get close is when you have already built the system in question before (or better yet, have a codebase you can reuse to hit 90% of the features in the first ~week of "work").

Hourly billing (whether you roll it up into a day/week/month) provides a way to cover myself from bad estimation, but limits you to charging for time to build and screws up incentives.

Project billing means I eat costs from bad estimation, but with the possibility of reward from over-estimation, along with the fact that you can charge for what the deliverable is worth (i.e. the value you deliver, not the time it took you to build the product).

As far as weeding out clients who aren't serious -- you can do that with a high-enough hourly billing (and generally you can get a feel for this from the client themselves)...

Could someone explain how I'm understanding the avoid-hourly-billing ideas wrong? It seems reasonable but it just doesn't seem to work for me in practice with the estimation thing, never mind the fact that clients need regular updates and rarely value good software development practices (so may seem like you've spent a week doing nothing if they can't immediately see the result/how it will save them time over the lifetime of the project).

[EDIT] - Another thing that I've realized when I was last thinking about this that I didn't include was that as complexity unfolded (and I realized my estimation was wrong), I did not increase prices/communicate this effectively to the business -- maybe that's where I'm getting it wrong? It feels like it would chip away at client trust to do so.

For those who are wondering what I actually do when I take projects on these days -- I just set a high hourly rate, possibly bundle it into weeks/months, and avoid project-based estimation because of the difficulty of scoping and the likelihood of scope changes. This also gives me an edge when the scope changes -- it's no longer "can this fit", and it's more "sure we can fit this in, it will take longer though".
The trend in American high schools is to push everyone to go to a college; regardless of what each student's interests are, how useful a college education would be in attaining the jobs that the major is applicable towards, the student's academic aptitude, etc.

My high school was thankfully somewhat resistant to this trend in that there was a very large vocational program that was somewhat popular amongst my graduating class.

I don't mean to offend people when I say this, but there are certain majors that very, VERY few people (if any) should actually pick as a matter of practicality (likelihood of getting a livable-wage job related to the major vs. getting saddled with debt for a degree that you won't use during your lifetime).
As long as a "gun" is held to our collective heads stating 'you will surrender your bodies to work or starve on the street', there is no such thing as making a voluntary decision like what you say. Look no further than the article:

> “I didn’t really know what that was,” she told me. “But my husband, he thought it was kind of cool, and it was money, and I didn’t have a lot of money.”

And what did she get?

> After her centerfold photos were published, Lena, green card in hand, got a divorce and a new boyfriend.

Even faced with lack of money for food and rent, still got a divorce out of it. Which in '71 , was still considered an abomination.

Don't get me wrong. Men also trade their bodies for the same existential threat; being deprived of food and shelter. But instead of being valued for beauty, we're valued for our utility. And too, our bodies break and rot under harsher conditions.

Only ones who automate and make others' lives meaningless get further than the rest - which I think adequately explains IT in a nutshell. Frankly, its only time until we're also due the same fate.

Yes, this is pretty close to how this agency does things. Your contracting team files a support request for a record change and a manager from within the agency approves. The contractor that owns DNS changes then goes and does it.

This makes all sorts of other things bad, like generating TLS certs with automation, as typically a validation for cert generation will be done via a DNS entry to prove ownership. But that requires a support ticket, so no automation will work here.
You misunderstand, `1.1` _is_ `1.0.0.1`, there are multiple ways to represent IP addresses.

> The rule is if it doesn't ache for a couple days after, you need to go harder/heavier.

That's not a good rule. Once you've past the first few months of resistance training, not being sore after a workout is not an indication that you didn't work out hard enough. It's very possible to work hard and have little to no soreness while making reliable strength gains.

In general you really want to get to place where you're working out more days per week, for a smaller amount of time each session (with a targeted muscle group). There shouldn't be much soreness at all unless you've over-exerting yourself.

It's an extremely common misconception that you need to work yourself to soreness to facilitate muscle breakdown and repair. But that's actually inefficient. The only reason it's even so common in people new to training is because they tend to workout with someone who is significantly more advanced (or enthusiastic) than they are.

Giving you reason you should read the article is useful info, even if it’s subjective. And it helps the reader know what to suspect. Is this a landing page for the newspaper? Or is it someone’s opinion or review if it? That signal is all lost now.

Maybe instead of saying “The most interesting” it should say “An interesting”. that way the signal is not lost.

I would assert there is less difference between sirloin and skirt steak than there is between ground beef and LFTB.

It’s illegal to claim that skirt steak is sirloin. Why should it be legal to call LFTB ground beef?
It’s probably just politics, but it looks to me like the GPA disparity between white and minority students is another issue entirely. This article making it the primary focus felt really sloppy and forced. Can’t we just report that professors with shitty attitudes affect students grades negatively and leave it at that? That’s what seems to be the common issue here, let’s have an inclusive solution rather than only focusing on one party.

If the article's description of how "pink slime" is made is accurate, I think calling it "ground beef" is a bit disingenuous. It's still "beef", but I think most people would agree that the term "ground beef" implies that the product was created by grinding up raw cuts of beef. "Separated beef" or "lean finely textured beef" or even just "lean beef" all seem like more appropriate names.

I think using "pink slime" as an aditive for ground beef should be fine as long as it is disclosed by the seller. Actually calling it "ground beef" is a step too far, though.

Next we'll start calling pizza a vegetable.

Wait no.
Now you have me thinking about whether it would be possible to design a non-fast language--that is, a language resistant even to tracing JIT. Programs in this language would have to defy the usual pattern of having hot loops that can be compiled once and run repeatedly. That seems to imply that operators must change behavior as they're repeated. In the typical machine model that's only suitable for a toy language, but it might make sense for a language the somehow compiles to neural net logic...
> the electric field moves with the electron

Sort of. Describing it as an "electric field" assumes the electron is not moving; if it's moving, at the very least there will be a magnetic field as well as an electric field. Also, as I said, when we take quantum effects into account we need to quantize the electromagnetic field as well as the electron, so the field is no longer just something that "moves with" the electron; it's a separate thing of its own that happens to interact with the electron in a certain way.

> The electron is still a point particle (to the extent of our current laws of physics) and it will only interact with the plate at one point.

Not a point; the damage on the plate will have a finite size. But you're right that the damage on the plate won't look like the wave function as a whole. Also see below.

> In actuality the electron didn't cause the damage to the plate. The electric field did.

If this is true, you can't deduce that the electron is a point particle from the damage at all, since the damage tells you about the field, not about the electron.

> It's not like the electric field is smeared around because the electron is in a superposition of states.

You're mixing up two different things. If the electron hits the plate, it's no longer in a superposition, and neither is the field. If the electron is in a superposition, it's because it hasn't hit the plate yet, so we haven't measured it--and in that case, the field is in a superposition too. So the "smearing" of the electron and the field go together (in the oversimplified model we're using).

> I'd expect gravity to work the same way.

The issue with gravity is that the "field" in the case of gravity is the spacetime metric. All of the reasoning about the electron and the electric field assumed that the spacetime metric was known. But if gravity is quantized, the spacetime metric itself would be in a superposition if its source (say some massive object) were in a superposition. That's a crucial aspect that's unique to gravity.

The article described changes in description regulation but it wasn't about whether "pink slime" had to appear labels, since it never did appear to begin with - "finely textured beef" previously could be mixed with regular ground beef and not labeled. Not it's no longer classified as something different - where it seems reasonably clear this is a somewhat different product.

And this change was essentially just the last push to stop any negative publicity surrounding this product, with the lawsuit again ABC looming prominently. And in the lawsuit, you have liable laws that give steep monetary damages for what we've discussed - pointing to details that are true and "icky" if arguably safe.

“If they were using support tickets and manually implemented changes by hand then there would not be an account.”

Your contracting team may not have a DNS account, but the contractor that deals with DNS changes certainly does.

The point is that all infrastructure really should be managed with code. If you managed DNS from Terraform you’d notice that your production DNS system was in conflict from what your code said it should be the next time a terraform plan/apply was run (which is happening all the time from dev or maybe CI). Without it you could go months or years without noticing a changed entry on a little used, but critical system. From what I remember this attack was ongoing for a couple years before it was noticed.

I feel that whenever Lena is mentioned, we should also give a shoutout to the researchers who were fed up with her and decided to use Fabio instead.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.6429

What do you guys (yes, guys) think about making Fabio the standard image instead?
I disagree with the characterization that it's comparable to a gun to the head. In Lena's case, she was offered a way to make money, she considered the decision, took it, then used the money she made to start an independent life for herself. She declines Hugh Hefner's offer because that crosses a line for her. How does any of this suggest the desperation of starvation?

At the end of the day, her perspective matters the most:

> Lena doesn’t harbor any resentment toward Sawchuk and his imitators for how they appropriated her image; the only note of regret she expressed was that she wasn’t better compensated. In her view, the photograph is an immense accomplishment that just happened to take on a life of its own. “I’m really proud of that picture,” she said.

She's proud of it. Don't deprive her of that.
