In European countries the marketing spend is essentially zero for all companies since they are banned from advertising. As you say, marketing clearly does increase profits for the pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. However, from a societal point of view it seems to me that it is much better for society for there to be no marketing of drugs. My wife is a physician and listening to her and her colleagues they all hate drug company TV commercials.

The current system seems to incentivize companies to hold on to patents by making minor, insignificant changes to drugs to maximize profits. They are incentivized to ignored exotic diseases that have too small of a market share for each individual disease but affect, collectively, a lot of people. There is also the fact that in a system like the U.S. where people have large out of pocket expenses at the point of contact with the health care system having companies maximize profits for a particular life saving drug causes some people to view said maximization with disgust.
Binning is actually the exception. You can't find binned Snapdragon 855s, for instance. Or most Intel chips. Rejects are generally destroyed.

When Apple moved to the T-chips they also moved several system management chips to it as well (e.g. copy-pasting the design alongside the A10).

Software on a general purpose CPU is great, but it simply isn't nearly fast enough for many system management functions. For >4GB/second DMA to go through it (for security oversight, encryption/decryption, etc), for instance -- that simply eliminates it from being a binned A10 at the outset, which was never designed around such a high performance need. The specialized display controller for the touchbar is absolutely nothing like the very purpose-developed display controller in the A10, either. These are all differences that would make it a terrible hack for them to use an A10.

Until we have imaging of the T2 innards we can't say, but I'd say with 99.999%+ certainty it is simply not possible for it to be a binned A10. An A10 single core integrated on some new IP (with purpose-suited blocks that perfectly fulfill their roles concurrent with the general processor), sure, but not an A10.
I think the text is missing a main point why people feel the fatigue. Problem are not tools themselves or any fetish around them, problem is making choices of which ones to use for which job. It's stressful and time consuming and requires you to constantly follow everything new that's going on - and in back of your head you still constantly feel a fear that you're missing on something important because it's impossible to try and test everything that comes your way. Imagine trying to open some machine, and every screw holding the lid is a different kind and size. You'd go crazy changing between phillips, slotted, star, torx, etc. That's how I started to feel with JS at some point. Luckily I think that some level of standardization is now happening in JS world, so there's some light at the end of the tunnel...
You can't subsist on greens, they're 8 calories a cup (47 grams). You would need to eat thirty pounds a day of lettuce out of your back yard. That's polluted urban soil so it would probably poison you whilst you starved.

x86 is indeed a weird choice for an "emulated" architecture - I'm pretty sure that RISC-V would behave a lot better (due to being a legacy-free design, if nothing else), and it does have support for running Linux.

I don't think this is proven. Can you elaborate?
It's a supported client but not a supported host.
First of all, it can be used as a target for any markup syntax if authors don't like it. The syntax is an irrelevant part of the feature (in fact MathJax already supports it).

Second, it is first class. "cross-browser-inconsistent" is not an argument that it's not first class, tons of things are inconsistent (JS features, CSS implementations, etc).

Third, you missed the whole idea that the proposal is about enhancing the rendering, and also has buy-in from Mozilla people.

>If MathJax or KaTeX is too slow for some purpose, someone should try to compile a more streamlined TeX renderer to wasm.

That's not even wrong. It's beyond right and wrong, into the realm of crazy.
And see? This is the kind of idiotic one-liners we have to deal with in this country about taxes and citizenship.

>>How were your children born?

> Private healthcare

So those that can't get jobs with it don't deserve it. And even those who make little can't really afford it either. Sure the ACA copper plan leaves the policy holder with 30%, but in actuality its insurance they can't actually use.

>>Fed? Clothed?

> paid by my salary

Again, if someone else can't get a job, they and their children shouldn't eat or afford clothing. That sounds like a 3rd world shithole...

>>Educated?

> private schools

Oh. You're one of those types. I'd imagine you've never had a day of adversity in your life. Never been homeless, never hungered. And I'd bet that familial money has ensconced your vision that people just must be lazy.

>>Transported?

> cars

Again, you're one of "Them". Adversity is being annoyed, or having "first world problems". Ever been without a car? Ever been stuck in a city with nobody really to call on for help?

>>Protected from crime?

> 2nd amendment

Oh yes, because the best crime prevention is Somalia-style arm everything and shoot first. Seriously, how much of an idiot do you have to be to think this is anywhere a good policy?

To my counterparts in Europe: this is what we have to deal with in this country. We pay taxes, and some of us want to pay none and go this anarchic "every man for themselves" style governance, complete with private police forces, private firefighters, and little to no government structure. What little "healthcare" we have with ObamaCare / PPACA is hated and derided with the utmost bile. And even the state (Indiana) I live in passed a law 'Banning cities or counties from banning plastic bags, straws or other one-time plastic things' - it even includes banning taxing those products.

I think the biggest factor is that the product of a company is rarely software, but the job it performs. If your software could be replaced by some humans then your company doesn't sell software at all, it sells a process fulfillment. In that case the quality of the software doesn't matter to anyone but the developers, and developers are a smart bunch and clue in to that fact, and they work to the requirements.

I have worked at companies that value quality over all else, as our position in the market was a premium, reliable provider and we charged enough to make the economies of that decision make sense. I was happy to be able to write software I could be really proud of while there and lucky to get paid to do it.

I've also worked at companies where the stakeholders make it clear that they want results, and they don't care how. In circumstances like that, where you have strong time pressure and limited resources, no one but you cares about the code quality. So do you spend your own time staying late and making perfect code, or do you do what you get paid for and exercise your passion somewhere else?

There is a lot of good coding that takes just as much time as writing bad code, so the second situation for good developers is mostly an exercise in pragmatism. Reliable, solid code, but some concessions where it saves time.

This is answering the question of where the sentiment comes from, which only partly answers the question of "Why is so much code bad".
> Your critique is about Chai choosing an API design you do not agree with.

I am not criticising the design choice but rather the inability to make a choice.

> JS fatigue is about having to choose between Chai, Mocha, Karma...

And once you made that choice you still have to choose between three different api styles, apparently.
>Yes, because JS is superior to C++ in terms of security.

Yeah, because moving 1/100th of web rendering (the math rendering part) to JS is going to make things more secure...
No, no visa will be needed.

The EU is introducing a system equivalent to the US's ESTA. (Most) EU citizens may travel visa-free to the US but must register (and pay) on ESTA.

It will be the same for US citizens to travel to the EU.

That is also a myth, perpetuated by people who do not understand how to read an income statement. Please provide a source for that, and if the source is or is using the SG&A line from an income statement, it's wrong.
There are plenty of people who've worked 10 years in software (who are in their mid-30s) who've stagnated for the last 8 years. It's perfectly possible to compete even with people your own age within a year or so if you just tackle things to learn in a smart way. So don't let anyone tell you it's too late.
I am all for raising minimum salary to rule out abusers, but my point is there are also a lot of other factors to consider here in addition to absolute salary number, and if you ignore those factors, it will be unfair to a lot of people & companies just as lottery is unfair to a lot of people & companies.

This is a complicated problem and the solution has to be non-trivial. Both lottery and salary-sorting seems too trivial, and are therefore prune to cheating. For example, abusers can just pay their employee $200k but then charge them $100k "legal fees" for "immigration processing"?
(I know some companies are already doing something similar)
But you don’t need a visa for travelling to all these five countries (for up to 90 days of stay). All of them (without Poland) are not in Schengen area for now, so maybe that’s the reason of this.

The paintings remind me of Francis Bacon’s works from the 60s

Some people actually like having multi million dollar paintings hanging up. But, the number of people that can afford to do so is relatively limited.

Some as you say is pure speculation, but money laundering is also a significant part of the art world. Auctions regularly move vast sums of money between near anonymous people and represent highly portable wealth.

After a career as hockey trainer and dentist assistant, my sister switched to a career as software tester, received some pretty intensive training for that, and is now developing herself towards business analyst, though she's also eager to move towards development.

A friend quit his PhD into medical psychology and entered a training program for developers where he got exposed to PHP, C#, Java, and maybe another language. He got into PHP development at a startup, and after a poor experience with some lead developers, he's now their lead developer. Some of his co-workers are superficially better developers, but they're cowboys who quickly deliver untested, hard to maintain code, whereas my friend works slower but more thoroughly.

Either way, getting into a program where you can learn how to do it right, seems to be an important step.
Are you saying this because you work as a data scientist and this is personal experience (that the field is booming), or are you saying this because this is what you've heard?

I tend to hear from actual data scientists that the field is a lot harder to get into than what the press is reporting.

Lift is hardly the first company to discover that you have to pay your employees from the day you open up business in a new location. That's how it works for everyone.

What is different about Lyft is that they've structured things such that they don't have to pay their drivers much when business is really slow - they're guarantees like, "If you complete 5 rides in one day, we'll guarantee you earn at least $100 on those rides." When you consider that drivers have to pay for their own cars and fuel, that probably doesn't even come close to minimum wage where I live. Meaning that their initial labor costs are probably cheaper than McDonald's.

I stand by my claim: The cost of entering a new market should be relatively low for a company like Lyft.

Similarly for the rest: You're trying to think about Lyft as if it were a tech company, and that seems to be leading to a distorted view of how their business works. Lyft is not a tech company. It's a taxi company that happens to be based in San Francisco.

Do people in equivalent jobs in Europe also get to "work from home"?
Wrong way around... The US isn't allowing citizens of those countries in without a visa, and the EU principles generally say that visa(-free) reciprocity has to apply to all members (which in the case of the US has been ignored for years by the commission). That said, this new stuff seems to be pre-clearance for "visa-free" travel, so not really a change to this.

Tips before you sell ethereum
Indeed.

I work in IT as a sysad. If it wasn't for the company I work for requiring in-person work, my job could be 100% remote.

But quite a while back, I worked low paying no benefit jobs to make ends meet. And it's pretty hard to make coffees or stock shelves 'remotely'.

The harder the labor, the worse the pay, and the worse your health will be, and the less benefits you'll get. Unions were the antidote to that, but...
I actually think there are whole cliques of companies and people where credentials do act as lock and key. It's as if there are two totally separate programming worlds, one of which actually believes in credentials and which the HN world rarely communicates to. It's wild, and I'm not sure what to make of it.
I would say, if you don’t want to attend formal schooling, do a combination of:

Build some stuff yourself, whatever it might be. Website, automation of daily tasks, it doesn’t matter. Make something that works. Most people can’t complete a project, so if you can, you’re valuable.

Take some free online computer science courses. I really like the MIT intro to computer science for non-programmers. You’d be shocked how many people who work as developers can’t do basic stuff you would learn in even an intro course. If you have some theoretical formal knowledge and combine that with the ability to execute in the real world, you are rare and valuable.
Back in Nov 2018, Dropbox went down this same lazy and inexcusable path, by programming their Linux client to shut down on any file system that was not Ext4.[1] I was using F2FS. Their excuse was that extended attributes support was critical to Dropbox, which is not a valid excuse since F2FS, XFS, ZFS, etc, all support extended attributes.[2] It would have been just a few lines of code to check if the user was running a filesystem that had extended attributes support. So presumably, they probably just didn't want to QA on multiple systems, so laziness won. I had to back up all my files, reformat my F2FS partition to Ext4, and restore my files, to get Dropbox working again. I've been a paying customer for 4+ years (at the $9.99/month level), and this is what I have to deal with.

Moreover, the Dropbox mobile apps and web UI still do not support editing plain text files (.txt / .md) -- even though they've added support for editing MS Doc (.doc / .docx) files. Compared to supporting editing MS Doc files, supporting plain text file editing would be so trivial for them to add, yet they haven't. I keep all my notes and thoughts in plain text files. When I don't have my Linux laptop, I'm forced to use Google Docs on my phone, even though I'd prefer to have all my notes/thoughts in my neatly organized collection text files.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any solid alternatives to Dropbox, that have reliable non-flaky support on Linux, and good iOS and Android apps.

This is a dangerous thing to say because it's heard by teenagers who can't think about themselves at 40.
One thing you might look into is bioinformatics, which is essentially CS + Genetics + Stats, and would let you leverage your bio background. There are basically two halves to bioinformatics: data science and tools development. The developers primarily write the tools, and the data scientists use them for their research and publications. One huge advantage is that pretty much all the major software used is publicly funded and open source. You can contribute without even having a job. That's actually how I got my first job in bioinformatics, by contributing to scikit-bio. This gives you a portfolio and mentoring in exchange for labor. Also, since academia can't afford competitive software engineer salaries, they're always hurting for good developers which can make it a great way to get started. Just be sure to get involved with a lab that has good engineering practices. That might be difficult to gauge, so ask someone to help you audit the lab's work if you're not sure.

A doctorate* (nl: doctorandus) which takes 6 years to earn (3-4 years BSc then 1-2 years MSc to use the English terms) followed by a 1 year specialization for public pharmacist. Exactly the same as the MDs (also doctorandus) have to do.

It's not a PhD; although I assume that you'd want to go that route if you're more interested in the research (I'm assuming that a PhD in Pharmacology is a thing). I tried convincing my wife to do it but she feels that she helps others more by being more hands on.

I think the confusion comes because a doctorate and a PhD are different things and different countries and disciplines use different terminology. I just about understand the Dutch system now but I'll never understand the German system.

Actually, almost everything you wrote is untrue. If you actually read the text of the Federal Act on the Surveillance of Post and Telecommunications (which is publicly available in French and German), you will see that instead of targeting ProtonMail and ProtonVPN, the legislation actually does the opposite, and explicitly exempts all but the largest telcos.

You don't have to take our word for this, it's actually in the text of the law.

Also, if you read the actual text of the US/Switzerland MLAT (mutual lateral assistance treaty), or the text of the Swiss Data Protection Act, you will see that "unlimited power without any meaningful control" is also patently untrue, and there are many layers of control and an explicit need to satisfy the requirements of Swiss privacy laws, even on cases originating from the US.
What's incredibly dangerous is thinking of this sort of system as "self-driving". But a car that can make most of the low-level driving decisions for the user, such as attempting to steer itself to stay centered in the lane, is going to make for a safer driving experience. It's just incredibly idiotic to market this sort of advanced driver assist as "self-driving" or "the car driving itself", and as something that allows the driver to lose focus; much of the controversy about Tesla is due to them having done exactly this in the past, and in some cases still doing it.
I'm also interested if you can use a sdcard fully with termux without root. I think it's not possible.

As far as I know you can only use a specific path like described here: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/954#issuecomment...

But a specific path is not a big deal once you get accustomed to it.. the external sdcard is anyway mostly a FAT serial number path so going a few levels deeper is not a big deal.

btw: Just finished a rsync transfer to sdcard with Termux today ;)

With that, `msoak make` will show the first lines first, and let you scroll down to see the rest. (Simply doing `make | less` isn't enough, because you need to fool the program into thinking it's sending output to a TTY for nice colors.)

This reminds me a bit of Alejandro Jodorowsky's approach to psychotherapy[1], in which trauma and neurosis are resolved by performing an act related to them. For example, if conflict was left unresolved with someone who has passed away, he instructs talking over the problem at the grave, and then painting "peace" with honey over the tombstone. Most of his suggestions are quite outlandish I recall his cure for agoraphobia was having your friends carry you inside a sleeping bag to a plaza where they would simulate your "birth into the world".
