Not problems that San Francisco isn't also having. People like to prop up SF as an example of inclusiveness, as if it isn't the pinnacle of gentrification. Things may feel inclusive if you are white/asian and working in tech. Ask a black or hispanic person if they feel like SF is a land of opportunity or inclusiveness.

And the rest of California is just as bad. LA somehow has a reputation for inclusiveness despite being home to some of the most serious racial conflicts and explosions of racial violence in the last century.

That California is somehow radically more inclusive than the rest of the country is a myth, but one they are exploiting very well.
I share your skepticism but take it a step further: can corporations actually care about something other than money? I don't think it even makes sense to anthropomorphize organizations that are governed by profit-before-all shareholders with limited liability and directors with a fiduciary duty to maximize returns.

At the end of the day, the workers the tech companies are competing for do care and that's what matters.
>The author is almost making it seem like models are reality and that people think that. They're not and I don't think anyone has ever thought they were...

that's where you're wrong. Way too many people, many of them engineers, consider models to represent reality, and that's a real, big problem, because this is deeply linked to how they consider science.
It's certainly an, "Okay, in that case I'm leaving," offense. If your manager gets pissed off about that leave.

One might argue that technology not only won't fix our issues but, used as it is today, is the cause of a lot of them.

I hope I'm wrong here, but I fear that the author is, in a way, just moving the goalpost.

A dissatisfaction with one's work that manifests as some sort of "what I do doesn't have meaning" or "what I do doesn't help anyone" is usually just an "I don't do anything relevant in my spare time" that is looked at through the wrong lens.

In a capitalist society, one should not rely on the same activity for both sustenance and psychological well-being or fulfilment. As many have pointed out before me, here and elsewhere, any hobby or similar activity stops being enjoyable once it becomes your job, i.e. once you pay your bills with it.

Instead of trying to stretch our daily jobs to fit two different goals, I believe we should, in fact, shrink our jobs so that they leave enough space for different activities that try to tackle the lack of meaning or passion in our lives: volunteering, cooking, making of art or just simply being there for our loved ones.

In other words, instead of the "equate life worth to career, find out life has no meaning, change career, equate life worth to new career" cycle, try the "equate life worth to... well, life itself" for once.
Question for people on melatonin. I tried 0.5 mg does, from cutting a 1 mg pill in half. Didn't have much effect.

Had a concussion three months ago and started taking 2 mg based on a post concussion study I read. this did markedly improve my sleep.

1. Did anyone experience a good effect only at higher doses

2. I'm doing much better day to day on this dosage, but I don't want to impair my own production. Do I need to go down to 0.3 mg, or can I cycle it etc?

It's really been life changing. Will ask my doctor the next time I'm in, of course.
> I'm not going to go around spelunking on my old comments to prove to you that your attacks on me are unfounded. Do your own homework if you care about this for some reason but this is getting extremely aggressive for no reason.

You're asking me to prove a negative. I merely said I doubted you knew about receipt freeness because you didn't even mention it as an obvious counterpoint to your claim, which is a reasonable conclusion. If you consider that an “extremely aggressive attack”, fine. It is easy for you to prove me wrong, you just have to point out the comment in question.

In the meantime, I'll continue to assume you either had no idea what receipt freeness was, or deliberately created the false impression that a verifiable voting system cannot be receipt free.

> I wasn't about to go 10 rounds of "but you could do X and then be broken by Y".

You've failed to show that receipt freeness introduces something else that fundamentally "breaks" which wasn't in the original system, despite repeatedly claiming this is so (see also "They fix this issue and introduce others", a claim made with absolutely zero evidence).

> So here's how I attack it if I'm just a skilled hacker working alone:

So you just assume you can achieve all of this for any e-voting system. Fantastic argument. Really convincing. You may as well have said "Here's how I would attack and infiltrate banking networks or current voting systems surreptitiously. See, we can never trust either of these!" That's just laughable.

> At the end there's a very high chance your election is now fully distrusted and the country is in chaos. Even if it doesn't work 100% of the time it only takes one or two successful events globally for people to distrust these systems, whichever they are.

Clearly wrong as evinced by Estonia's voting system, even in the face of its demonstrated security flaws.

> The scary thing about what I just described is that plenty of it is indistinguishable from what is already happening in some cases in US elections today.

...and it hasn't led to the collapse of the voting system.

> If there are no advantages why do it?

Are you asking what the advantages of e-voting are?

> The difference for eCommerce and eBanking is that under any of those attack scenarios you just go to the bank branch and sort things out, including reverting transactions.

You're assuming banks are always aware of attacks, which is just not true.

> At this point it's on you.

It's not "on me". It's been mathematically proven that a system can possess these properties simultaneously. For example, see

Interested in your comment on Tesla Bluetooth support. When you say "select music" do you mean basic skipping/play pause? Because anything more than that (like browsing a catalog of music) really isn't supported by the Bluetooth protocol AFAIK. I don't think any car does that.

Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay almost work now, which may be closer to what you mean. I never looked into it, but I'm surprised Tesla doesn't support either. I understand the arguments Tesla is making about not supporting CarPlay/AA, but still, Hyundai figured it out...
If you have a house with space for a garden and the time to dedicate gardening, sure. You can grow some things in an apartment even, but not much. Taking the labor, time, and space requirements out of food production is a huge deal, especially today. If computerized farming means fresher and cheaper vegetables in the city, why shouldn't we use that?
I'm just using Medium. I think their recommendation engine must work pretty well.
I agree. The interesting, high-paying jobs in tech all seem to be centred around funnelling money from one place to another for profit, or manipulating people for profit. Most of the available work just seems to do harm. Working for public/charity companies doesn’t lead to satisfaction either, since all you see is an overworked, underpaid, too-junior workforce and an inferior, outdated product which you can do little about.

On top of this, the accepted career progression for many programmers seems to be that you become a manager and don’t even get to solve the fun problems yourself - now you’re doing harm and not even enjoying doing it!

But hey, at least we get paid a lot...
The thing is that burnout among therapists is real, everyone I know who worked in counseling came with lots of, how shall I put it?, infatuation, enchantment and everybody got severely disenchanted at some point.

So until the author has worked for a couple of years in the field, he comes off as a little bit... naive.
I don't mean to come off as condescending, I hope he finds happiness in his new profession.

> [..] but detach your emotion from the outcome.

Which is kind of difficult, even as a long-term professional.

As a software developer, I'm responsible for the program that I write. I'm barely responsible for design & marketing, though.

When a customer criticizes the application for being what it is, I find it very hard to detach my emotion from it.
I always feel that they are criticizing me, personally. And I blame myself, partly: "How couldn't I have seen this?". But sometimes, the criticism is directed at marketing or design, which leaves me with a "I told them so!" kind of feeling - still, I'm the one who has to defend the decision that has been made in front of the customer.

Btw, they don't know that they are writing with the developer - for them, we look like well-trained support agents.

Radioactive Glass Beads May Tell the Terrible Tale of the Fukushima Meltdown
I think of survey responses as being low-magnitude, high signal sometimes.

Take a list of 100 questions all answered between 1-5 (disagree -agree). Sometimes, PCA can help you group these statements into like concepts. Which means instead of having to look at variation across all 100 statements you only need to look at a handful.

However, in doing so, you might miss out on an interesting pattern in a subset of the data where a given subset of respondents are consistently answering a single choice differently. Maybe in aggregate that signal doesn’t show up, and so you would wash it out in PCA. Obviously, in this case, each of the 100 questions is a dimension.
I'm not sure it's toxic. Ideas can't hurt people, not really.

That said, I don't think most people can code very effectively. It requires a person to be generally intelligent, and then to specialize in a narrow part of computer science. "Learn to Code" is great advice, but it should probably be understood that everyone who's being displaced won't become effective coders.
I’d really like to see progress on hashes that fit into a few lines of code. It seems FNV-1a is still the best option in that regard.
This advice is good but geographically bound. It's hard to grow veggies year-round in Minnesota. It is not great to transport oranges and warm weather crops hundreds or thousands of miles (both for carbon impact and quality).
absolutely everything, there's some common ground station stuff (your handheld transmitter, and goggles or 7" LCD monitor + video receiver), that's an unavoidable upfront cost separate from the aircraft itself. Figure at minimum $300 to $400 for that.

For a small quadcopter, $400-500 total parts cost, anything below that will involve a lot of quality compromises.

It's not mutually exclusive. I basically tore out my lawn and grow veggies every year, but I also grow other stuff indoors. There are times I want lettuce but don't want to worry about sudden cold snaps, for instance. Or get my seeds started indoors before transferring them outdoors.

And the study that suggests indoor grown can be less carbon intense is super interesting.
Would hate to be an employee working for a Tesla dealership. Closing, not closing, but maybe closing. If they don't already, I'd expect most employees to have one foot out the door.

Fortunately for Tesla, there is a bit of a cult surrounding their brand so maybe up-and-comer type salesmen might stick around for the "prestige" of working at a Tesla dealer?
The world of people advocating for ineffective cures is already here, you have homeopathy, and you also have plenty of actual pharma that have much bigger placebo effects than clinical effects, or the overstated claims about the latest diet, paleo, keto, pescatarian, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free.

Can you imagine having diets having to be clinically approved by the FDA? 10 years plus billions of dollars to say you should eat less sugar.

When someone dies because they can't afford insulin, they are paying with their life for your sense of security.
But! There is also a way to satisfy your desires, and satisfy mine. You buy your FDA approved drugs, and the ones that don't want to...don't. You get your security, and I get cheap medication.
But it's also obvious that companies shouldn't be able to supply anything and everything demanded. For instance, there is a demand for hitmen and child porn - this does not mean that the demand should be satisfied. It is also clear that companies influence both policy and desires (through advertising and taking advantage of mass-consumption) to change what is demanded. If we are looking for a practical solution, I see no reason why it lies on the billions of consumers to suddenly become environmentally conscious - and for what reason? To satisfy an ideal of "pure capitalism"?

She Invented a Board Game with Scientific Integrity. It’s Taking Off
I've spent much of my adult life feeling alone, if not physically, mentally. I think this is common in careers where we're paid to spend our time thinking. It's a hazard of our profession exacerbated by who many of us are as human beings. We found ourselves in these careers precisely because of this trait, our ability to think deeply about solutions to problems - which seems to be a net side effect of our proclivity to spend our time weighed down in our own thoughts.

I wouldn't knock those who fear being alone. Enduring being alone is mentally and emotionally grueling - even if you don't shy away from it. If you're not scared of it, then either you're one of the lucky few who are resilient to it or you're not giving it the gravity it's due. Either way, I'm envious of you.

I have days where I feel like my only reason to live are my friends and children. Without them I wouldn't even make it through the day. On those days, I fear being alone. Not because I'd harm myself, but because I know that it's the first step on a spiral into a depression I don't want to be consumed by again. I fear it because I've been there on more than one occasion. I fear it because I know how hard it is to drag yourself out of.

If you're not truly afraid of it, you've never been there.
The root issue isn't code but the availability of ram. So long as it is a precious shared resource, overflows are a threat. In the near future the separation between ram and storage may become moot. We could then erect much stronger walls between processes, even separating them physically, so that such cross-talk is much less likely.
>What of the Morris Worm’s other entry method, based on weak passwords?

It's super easy, and if you're not using it, it's your own damn fault. Even when the website you're using doesn't support it. Just get over it and stop using websites not owned by Google already.
Good point, but actually, to you, your time is more important than everyone else's. You need to put yourself first.

And by the way, both you and Arnold Schwarzenegger are human beings and able to have some of the same experiences. Putting yourself down is not helpful.
Congrats on the change in careers, Glen. My own journey follows a very similar arc. For a rational person it's incredibly lonely: the spiritual community often sees the rational mind as a hindrance into more subtle realms, and the rational community sees the spiritual one as full of fluff and fantasy. It's difficult to have a foot on each side.

We must understand that one does not invalidate the other, they belong to different realms of being. An inner truth (i.e. everything happens for a reason) does not invalidate an outer truth (i.e. everything that happens is random). Being able to hold this paradox is an important developmental milestone.

Another duality is the relationship between mind and body, and for mental people bodywork is crucial to make emotional breakthroughs, but in my experience most people dedicated to this don't understand where you're coming from. Very little can be accomplished if the rational mind is the master at all times, but at the same time it's guarding an emotional dam that should be drained with caution.

Therapists who understand the tech industry and the rational mind are desperately needed, most people who get into it are naturally empathetic and operate from the heart, which is wonderful for therapy, but they can't relate at all with the territory you're traversing when you're going through transformation. The maze that you describe is completely foreign to them, and even worse: very few people have navigated it successfully, it remains largely unexplored and uncharted, so it requires infinite patience and lots of trial and error.

Gauche to follow up on my own post but the mirtazapine-dementia link is strong in this study https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/two-types-of-dr... but rather weak, and correlative rather than causative if my reading of this study https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/mirtazapine/dementia/ is correct (in that roughly half of the demented patients were co-dosed with an antipsychotic, presumably to help manage the agitation that can accompany dementia) . So now I feel I really need someone much better versed in medicine to advise.

Not being familiar with the area, I had a couple questions I’ve hypothesized answers for.

Why didn’t they drink the river water if they were dehydrated? It was probably too salty. This river is close to the sea.

Why didn’t they swim to high ground instead of climbing a tree? Unless crocodiles are particularly aggressive, I don’t think they likely feared being attacked. More likely they either could not swim, or high ground is much too far away to reach, this being a swamp. (I’m from Florida - gators rarely attack humans.)

Think back to your high-school bio and chem; remember the whole idea of unpaired atoms or groups if atoms running around? That's a free radical. Remember that it takes energy to break chemical bonds? That's what UV does: provides the energy. The damage it causes is basically knocking random compounds and proteins apart. This leaves a random atom running around without an electron: a "free radical". Antioxidants donate an electron, thereby neutralizing the free radical. The real problem is when it does it to DNA; it can forcibly bond with it, and that's when you can get cancer. Which is why antioxidants are important.
