They guy may have been a low performer or not. But the whole system is very very broken.

"My take-away from the careers aspect of the book is that if you (1) love competition, (2) have a huge appetite for risk, (3) don’t mind working long hours for a minimum of 27 years until getting that first grant, and (4) are mostly indifferent to money, pursuing a physics PhD and an academic job might be a reasonable plan. You’ll get to work with a lot of smart people, for sure, but, as the book notes, quite of few of them may be planning to stab you in the back when it comes time to assign credit for a Nobel-worthy discovery. It is not like most other fields of human endeavor where there is room for everyone to excel in his or her own way."

The library/project has to be designed right. Musl has dummy references that make static linking work without pulling in a bunch of junk. This is very much a language/project issue and I wish more languages actually looked at the huge mess of dep graphs that are needed for simple programs.
We don't get to criticize people we don't know? Then we can't criticize or discuss anything.

If you don't want to criticize, then you shouldn't. But what's with the "we"? Why do you think you should get to decide what "we" should or shouldn't criticize?

If you disagreed with a criticism, then you should respond to that or ignore it. Why try to force your "morality" on everyone else? Why try to stifle other people's voice?

Personally, my parents kept my grandfather's illness from me. I didn't find out my grandfather was ill or dying until his funeral. That's right. I found out my grandfather died at his funeral. I didn't agree with my parents' decision and I don't agree this person's decision.
It's hard to get the attention of the recruiters at those companies in my experience.
AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) had a similar policy, which, I think, if I remember correctly, was a defining moment for AIM, and once again, for AOL.

The EULA for AIM was such that your messages became AOL’s intellectual property. Not only that you could not sue AOL Time Warner for possibly scripting and producing a movie and thus profiting from one of your instant message conversations or chat transcripts, but that maybe they could sue you for trying to do the same, and win.

I had this feeling, the moment that showed up in the news, that AOL’s days were numbered, and I was right. Other companies soon released chat functions, including Google and Facebook, and now AIM is gone. It was a signal that AIM was unsuitable for enterprise messaging, and no one excpet teenagers should bother with it, and wventually the teenagers that did use it, grew out of it, and moved on, and the rest is history.
Happy to report we have added a "Hybrid" product type, which is a virtual server with dedicated resources (VDS): https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=99A-37F-5BB

You'll see that while the amount CPU cores will usually be less, they are dedicated to you and not shared with other VPSs.

Hope this helps! :)

Great. Did they bring back the color-scheme editor?

Now that everyone is (30+ years later) finally realizing that inverse-video color schemes are dumb... Microsoft REMOVED the color-scheme editor from Windows. WTF?
That’s how Aether works. Every graph object requires a certain amount of PoW in the form of a Hashcash variant. You were on the right track! (Assuming this is the right track, ha)
>Reddit, youtube, etc became extremely popular precisely because they weren't censored. But once they got huge, corporate and political interests took over and you got censorship.

I... kinda get this argument for reddit, though only a bit. But this is just not true for Youtube. There was never a point where "well I wanted to put my video on X but Youtubue will actually let me do it without censoring" was ever true.

There's the recent stuff about monetization, but all that was happening way later! Not to mention that Youtube was huge even before ad revenue sharing was a thing on the platform.

Meanwhile, there are very well documented cases where lack of moderation on social networks lead to the people who actually make content taking their ball and going home.

The revisionism of "the internet used to have no mods and corporate money has ruined it all" is so exhausting to read over and over again. Even 4chan has had mods and janitors! Turns out that just letting the worst actors on a network be loud is not fun.

Hmm... I think the bigger issue would be the loss of Messenger. In my opinion, Facebook as a platform is dead. A lot of people in my friends list have stopped posting altogether. Myself, I post once or twice a month for things that I thing my friends would like to watch/see.
Oh well at least my idea was good I suppose. (!)
I had around $25K stolen via a skimmed debit card from my Chase checking account (in a few hundred separate transactions). I finally noticed after about 6 weeks; they never did until I told them. This despite the fact that all the fraudulent transactions took place at least 100 miles from my residence, some as far as 2000 miles away. I did get all my money back eventually, but it took a month or two and a ton of back-and-forth in person and on the phone to sort out the bad transactions from the good ones (mostly due to their lack of attention to detail). I stopped using debit cards after that (and started monitoring my daily balance).
This is now possible! :) https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=ADF-3C3-EB9
Well, I can tell you what has helped me so far in my own epistemic crisis:

The first two chapters of “Maps of Meaning” helped me separate truth-as-a-descriptive-framework vs truth-as-a-functional-framework, which was great for recovering from what postmodernism did to our sense of truth.

“Postmodernism for Rationalists”[1] really helped me define the chaos i felt about truth, and helped me put words and philosophers to different thoughts that I didn‘t know were there.

“States and Nomads”[2] helped me realize how all models are wrong, and their utility is ultimately contextual. It also introduced me to Jorge Luis Borges, who has written a lot of creative fiction around ideas like this.

A big reprieve came from this analysis of an Emily Dickinson poem on truth[3]. The part about “circumference” of truth really worked for me, I feel now that peace has to come from outside that circumference, not inside (which is what you might be struggling with?). Bertrand Russell spent his life trying to find a philosophical basis for religion and never found one, but this is as close as I've gotten.

For my happiness, I intersperse fiction (poetry, short stories) with more serious essays of philosophy. I think that resulting balance between art and treatise has been important for me in getting through this, but I haven't been on this for long.

If any of this has landed for you, we can swap sources and thoughts sometime, which might be a good therapy (both ways).

That's partially true (big pharma r&d has failed to deliver returns) but it is not true that most of the research happened in academic labs. Most of the research and early development happens in small companies. Most of the later stage development happens at big pharma companies
And that only reaffirms and proves correct, the comment to which you have replied.

When the user deletes something, it is not destroyed instantly. Instead, it is rendered inaccessible to a broad class or ordinary users. Meanwhile, the systems do still retain the ostensibly deleted data, even if for an hour or 30 minutes, while other, more powerful actors might still have the ability to access and read something the individual thinks is destroyed and gone forever.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Will give Aether a spin and see if it might work for our business once it's released.
What if PGP was updated to remove the old cipher suites and only support modern ones like Curve25519 Poly1305 ChaCha20 etc? (At least for newly created keys/sigs/encrypted files)

The aspect of PGP I like is the UI integration. At least when using GPG Tools. I can double click on an asymmetric encrypted file and GPG tools will decrypt it. Likewise my mail client can encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify emails automatically with GPGs plugin.

If there’s a straightforward equivalent for modern crypto that is easy for users to install and use, let me know because I’d be interested in using it.

People use the same user ID all over the place anyway. That includes the part before the "@" in their email address. If any one of those credentials is leaked, the damage is the same.

At least the email address can be easily changed when needed, whereas most sites don't allow changing the user ID.
A simple way to put this is that today's 1% isn't yesterday's 1%. Static inequality is oppressive. Dynamic inequality is entrepreneurship. PG explains this well in his inequality essay.

It's interesting cause I have a recording of human voices plus a background TV show that was too loud; I've looked around for something that would be able to separate the two but I haven't found a straightforward solution.

For example if you Google then FASST is one of the ones that come up, but it's a whole framework and in order to use it you'd have to learn the research yourself; much of these software is not geared for end users.

> JPM Coins are used for transactions over a blockchain network with other J.P. Morgan clients

Moving your JP-Morgan-client-only coins from your JPMcoin account held with JP Morgan to someone else's JPMcoin account held with JP Morgan is not conceptually different from moving USD from your JP Morgan dollar-denominated account to someone else's JP Morgan dollar-denominated account. In both cases, participating in the system in any way at all requires you to hold an account with JP Morgan, and the transfer that takes place "moves" currency from JP Morgan to JP Morgan.

And, no surprise, JP Morgan already has all of the infrastructure in place to do transfers from one JP Morgan account to another JP Morgan account.

> There is a major issue with the network which is that it seems as if only [J. P. Morgan] can actually redeem the tokens for dollars.

That's not an issue. In theory, you hope for the cryptocurrency to be valid currency in its own right; you don't want people to think they need to redeem it.

The issue is that you can't receive these coins unless you hold an account with JP Morgan. (You can't spend them either, but that's moot unless there's a way to get them in the first place.)
Right. I didn't mean that to be why it is correct. Just giving some comment to what was actually suggested. Static linking is not the only alternative to dynamic linking.
Sure, the basic tenet of biological organism is to survive and procreate. However, no biological organism, other than humans, fear death. No other organism, that we know of, has a conception of death. A dog doesn't have a conception of death. It doesn't worry about whether there is an afterlife. Bacteria obviously doesn't either.

Just because survival is important to an biological organism doesn't necessarily mean that they are terrified of death. We know that most biological organism are not terrified of death because they have no conception of death.

It's an entirely human "illness", this obsession with death. Especially considering that the self is an illusion and doesn't exist so you can't die since "you" never existed.

Learn how to do waveform inversions - if you have a stereo signal, anything not fully-centered will come through better while the rest is cut out.

It's funny to read such articles hypothesising about Facebook being gone. I left Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn about 1 year ago. I was hardly getting any use out of it anyway; not even Messenger. I did a similar thing to Reddit. Quit it cold turkey. These days, I hang out on Mastodon and HN. As it turns out, I don't give a shit about what my extended family and old classmates are up to, and they don't really give a shit about my hobbies and political views. Staying in touch with fellow nerds is far more enriching.
To confirm. This is terrible. I had more after 5 years of PhD.

A few things...

1) A brand new postdoc costs $48,432 on the NIH scale in 2018. This author of this article costs $59,736. Their benefits are also about $3800 more. It's not that fast.

2) I agree that experience is undervalued - and said staff scientist will almost certainly out produce them. But the burden often falls in different areas - I'm evaluated based on mentoring students for example, not staff scientists. Training grants exist. Etc. A senior staff scientist is always full freight born by the lab (barring like, really nice retention/recruitment packages).

But I think the real problem is the author isn't some sort of rockstar senior staff scientist (I've known some). Their productivity just isn't there enough to assume that they're 15 grand better than trying a new draw from the postdoc pool.

You're talking past me.

GP claimed that unpaid internships are offered by folks who want to select for candidates from wealthy families. I agreed that this was possible but it was more likely that a company would want to save money. Either because every little helps, or because it makes budget planning easier. You said "big companies don't care about small savings". I pointed out a scenario where they could. You dismissed it as fiction.

You claimed that there's some massive legal risk associated with this. There isn't. If someone from the Department of Labour asks about your unpaid internship, simply say "the student earned college credit for this, so there was an educational component", even if all they did was fetch groceries for you.

You pointed out that the Kardashians could have wanted a loyal, devoted fan for their unpaid internship. Sure, that's entirely possible. That's just as valid a reason as wanting to save money. I'm sure there are plenty of companies that justify it to themselves this way. "We don't want people who are in it for the money, we want them to be really passionate about the useless widget we're building"
Coming up on the dawn of my fourth decade with the same company. By all measures, I've been compensated handsomely as the company grew.

It only worked because of growth: both of the company and of my personal development at every stage in the growth. It's been like changing companies 4-5 times, but with no risk of getting into a situation I regretted. And a lot of my peers jumped at 10% raises or minor status improvements, and fell behind.

If you can hit the right company in the right market at the right time in its growth, prove yourself valuable and acquire equity, you will find many professional challenges that will far outweigh job-hopping for short term bumps. Take risks on this if you are under 30.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of growth and health of the company though. FAANGs get all the joy from eager 22-year-olds and antsy 25-year-olds, but at some point each of those companies were 200 or 500 or 1000 person companies--when it made a lot more sense to join.

My advice: pick a small, promising company in a field that holds risk but will still be relevant 30 or more years from now, and build your career there.
As someone who applied, and is producing hardware, everything is stacked against me from the beginning it feels. I have a business that need pretty much exactly what tinyseed offers, but beyond that it would only need external funding to stay running in a scorched-earth situation. We could crank out a few million in profit a year without burning ourselves out in the process, but a few million a year is "chump change" these days. As it stands, I am running the risk of personally running out of money before the product is at risk, as our operating costs are essentially zero, but the operating costs of my kids are not. The combination of these things somehow makes a matured, tested, and in-use life safety platform not as exciting to investors as it would seem to people outside the startup world. I mean hey, I'm trying to keep people from losing their lives, if I were making the next business-class notepad replacement I'd have 2 million dollars and a 300k monthly cloud burn-rate.

I agree with this — I’ve “helped” a few friends transition their lives to password managers (basically just sat with them and kept suggesting sites they probably use that they might want to go change their password for — after they’ve done 5 or 6, they understand how to do it and are very likely to keep using it going forward).

I think this has to be highest benefit easy-ish thing you can do for someone to aid their computing lives in 2019 ...

Everything sites can do to help users undergo this transition would help them in the long run ...

The big password manager implementations need to do better as well — I don’t understand why iCloud Keychain doesn’t support generating random passwords that conform to the (horrific) password complexity checks you see out there in the world sometimes ... those sites are wrong to have such a broken feature but there are enough such broken sites out there that a clean workaround is needed on the password manager side ...

It would also be nice to have a solution for security questions built in — my solution is an OpenSSL command line for the random password generation and shared notes in which I record security questions and answers for sites. It’s better than actually providing real answers to security questions at least ... support for this functionality should really just be built into my password manager — the alternative likely thing is that a user will use actual answers to security questions for password reset all across the internet and this is not a thing the password managers should support their customers doing ...
The justification you may have heard less, is that the US hegemony maintains the place of the dollar as the world's reserve and exchange currency. This is where the real power lies. For example the owner of the reserve currency can export its inflation to the rest of the world...
