AHAHAHAHA!

About time. One of my first tech jobs was with Office Depot, where I was hired on as the technology lead, thinking that I was going to be sharing my 2008 era knowledge. I still remember feeling excited and sharing with the store my first laptop sale, explaining how I was able to sell a Windows Vista Basic machine with a copy of Windows XP and a stick of memory. My boss was quick to tell me that they don't make any money on that stuff and selling high end items with the amount of time that I spent doing that sale was actually hurting the store. So I could either lose my job or sell extended warranties and services, and earn 5-10 dollars a sale. I was 20 years old, wanted a new iPhone, and was living with my parents, so my path was pretty clear.

At Office Depot, we had two kinds of warranties, either a "Kit" or a stand alone warranties. With services, we had the "make your computer faster" and "so you just bought this pos, lets make it faster". With warranties, I went straight for the scare tactics, such as your printer ink cartridges could leak all over over or the new chair you bought could have a castor leak grease, both of these were not covered under the normal warranty, but for 25-100 dollars, you could be protected from the unpredictable. With services, we just put your new computer on a cabinet where we ran a flash program that showed "vulnerabilities", and for 100 dollars, we could patch up this machine that would have been hacked to shreds by the Chinese if it were not for us brave souls.

I made two grand that month and was given an award by the Office Depot district manager. I felt like shit too. I was able to get my conscience back after helping people under the table when they bought one of our bullshit comfort blankets and wouldn't anything other than the shredder kit - which included a bottle of literal synthetic snake oil.
I bet the people at IBM thought the love was mutual too....
I think the way it is worded in the Constitution is that the Commonwealth Government (i.e national government) can't make laws enforcing/restricting a religion. I.e can't ban/mandate a religion Australia wide. But where it falls down is there is nothing stopping the individual States from doing so (i.e New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland etc could make state laws banning religions).

I think that is one of the main problems with our constitution the states have a heap of power. I believe it is due to the history of federation where the six states came together to form Australia. There was a bunch of compromises required to get everyone on board, which is why you have things like Tasmania having the same number of Senators as NSW despite the huge disparity in total population.

Because of all the state provisions it is very difficult to make changes to the constitution. It requires a referendum with an overall national majority and a majority of all the states is also needed. That's why borderline referendums never seem to pass only the ones that are overwhelming supported ever get up (depending on your pov this is a feature not a bug).

Bell did amazing research under that monopoly, the downside was that they also buried some of it.

They had magnetic storage and an answering machine in the 30s, but were terrified that it might reduce demand for telephone services, so they suppressed the technology for sixty years.

https://io9.gizmodo.com/how-ma-bell-shelved-the-future-for-6...

Maybe that one would have never come to light without their help anyway, but they also fought inventions of outsiders that touched the telephone network, under the monopoly protection laws that allowed them to control anything "connected to" their network.

Probably the most absurd example is when they fought to stop people from using a physical barrier to make phone calls a little less loud:

I think you are right.

This is more akin to medicare fraud, but without criminal penalties.

It seem like the fake research was used to obtain 100s of millions in grants.

"...
A former researcher at Duke University has admitted to faking data that allegedly were used to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants. Duke has also admitted that it knew Erin Potts-Kant, a pulmonary scientist, faked data, but it’s unclear whether that was discovered prior to using those data to apply for grants,

All the reasoning seems very clear to me.

This is what people said about Alex Jones and his network. When he was deplatformed there was a surge of downloads for his app from white supremacists trying to show support and people gave your exact argument that now he has been legitimized.

But what actually happened were those numbers were inflated by his followers and without the echo chamber of the larger base he had on YouTube his numbers eventually plummeted. Instead of being a regular in the news he occupies a small corner of the internet without access to the larger impressionable ever refreshing base he once had.

He has now resorted to trying to sneak videos back on to you tube.

First of all, I can't prove my opinion.

With that said, if push came to shove, the electronics on the F-22 could be quickly replaced/augmented to either have a focused IRST ala the SU-35 or a 360 system like F-35's EODAS. Your argument is in line with "It would be difficult to restart the F-22's production line." Sure, but neither doing that or updating it would cost nearly as much as the amount of money that went into the F-35.

I think IRST wasn't made a priority because the US expects to have AWACS wherever they operate and the F-22s to shoot based on AWACS data without ever actively emitting themselves anyway. That or planes toggling radar one at a time and passing data via datalink to their squadron, which makes them fairly safe (at least that was the idea with datalinks).

nope. they are short term solution to high rent prices in certain cities. pure economics. sharing a space with a bunch of other people gets old fast and is actually annoying. (it doesnt work just like open floor place office spaces dont work/dont improve productivity).

While I agree with you in theory, it's worth remembering the only reason The Castle has a happy ending is because someone who was already wealthy offered to help out people (for free) who weren't.
Not if we had a culture that didn't condone it. There's the law and then there's cultural values. And the purpose of freedom of speech is to recognize that a healthy marketplace of ideas and debate is good for our society. That's a cultural value as much as it's a legal value.

Honestly, it is for ordinary wages also. The self-employment tax is basically the same as the employee and employer portions of the FICA taxes. (I think the only difference is that the self-employment tax basis is the before tax income while the wages tax basis is after the employer portion has already been paid.)

People don't seem to understand what's really being talked about here. That's not what they are arguing. They are literally claiming merely a "gateway drug" like effect, not actual recruitment. (also see propaganda terms like "dog whistle") Those pushing this are the same type of people who have continuously been attacking any public person to the right of left-center, trying to get them deplatformed. FB is listening to and referencing the type of people who either can't or refuse to distinguish between things like legal and illegal immigration. You know the kind, people who call anyone who does, a racist!

The argument being pushed here (whether they themselves understand it or not) is basically that "seeing something a little bit to the right > leads a little more to the right > then even more to the right > NAZI!" Which hilariously is a concept born almost exclusively out of modern leftist and current "_blank_ studies" thought/ideology. It's literally taking the left's (one side's) word on who should be allowed to speak!

This isn't a slippery slope, but just the next level of "dangerous" speech in need of silencing.

I'll also add, If this logic is true and enforced, then it's time to seriously start having a talk about leftist speech because it too must "clearly" be a gateway to worse things like socialism or even communism. (only some of the most oppressively totalitarian and authoritarian, not to mention murderously deadly, ideologies in all of human history!) Ideologies that curiously also happen to be widely tolerated and accepted in the very same places as the people demanding censorship here.

And MagSafe is not coming back. AIUI, MagSafe unavoidably led to connection problems with the power cable over time and was a big driver of AppleCare support issues. Anecdotally, I've had multiple laptops where the MagSafe connector got to the point of needing to be jiggled around almost every time I plugged it in before it would start delivering power.

I would be curious to hear your thoughts on the AP CS AB version's material, specifically whether you think it would have been of any use to you. They killed it some years ago, there's just the A now, so you'll have to search around for an old practice exam to look at. I took it in 2007 since I was ahead of the class enough to continue studying on my own. I don't remember exactly what was covered anymore but I do remember enjoying the studying and writing the exercise programs more, it was worth the lower score. I doubt the A has absorbed anything from it.

If you keep up your self-study, expect further disappointment in most undergrad data structures courses. =P
There are massive subsidies in higher education, especially at the PhD level (many are had for free, plus stipend).

A system with only "blind market forces" would not have subsidies, and many prospective PhD students would look at the job prospects, the tuition bill, the living expenses, and the opportunity cost of working for 5-8 years, and decide to do something else. The fact that PhDs can be had "for free" is why so many people pursue them. This is a market distortion, not unfettered market forces.
Your Job Isn't Writing Code
I once had a clerk at Staples tell me that they couldn't in good conscience sell my father-in-law the really, really good deal on a laptop "because it had 6GB of RAM, which is really unstable, like you know how CPUs only come in powers of 2 in order to work right", which I suspect could be translated as "this awesome deal of a laptop is a scam advertising offer, and we don't have any in stock and can't write a rain check at this bogus price."

Actually, while arguably it may be growing (kind of hard to tell with single and no digit yearly numbers) It isn't all that much of an issue overall or even relatively speaking.

Chinese is used both as a race and citizenship marker, I’m using it here as the latter and not the former. Chinese themselves are hard pressed to come up with a suitable distinction.

Eg Uighurs aren’t referred to as Chinese when they emigrate abroad like Han are, even though they are both supposedly Chinese when citizens of the PRC. In that case, if I married a Uighur with a PRC passport, my security clearance would still be in jeapordy, if I married a Chinese (Han) or Uighur with a Canadian passport, there is less of a problem depending on when/if they naturalized.
I mean if we're going by anecdotes:

- I made more on my first day of work than almost any of my professors will make on their last day work.

- I also personally know 3 PhDs at tech companies in the Bay that make substantially less than me despite being 4-6 years older than me.

- I am also acquainted with two people that made an obscene amount of money from their tech skills; one maxed out at a high diploma and the other a PhD.

- The other 20 or so PhDs I know don't make substantially more than I do.

- I've also seen a few PhDs at my last company end up as systems engineers which is incredibly depressing because they could have been employed in that same role if they stopped at a bachelors.
It's also the time of year that federal budgets are being drawn up.

But it's entirely possible that the plane is fine. Keep in mind that a lot of the criticism of the F-35 is also PR from competing defense contractors.

Your first point is, sadly, very true.

Your second remains economically invalid for the reasons already stated.
I'm always unsure about how to judge whether the lower percentages of older engineers I see is due to age discrimination or just a low percentage of older engineers period. Software developers are young in general. And interestingly the United States has the highest average age [1]. At my workplace I can count at least one "greybeard" on most teams. I don't get the sense that they are discriminated against because of their age. I've always enjoyed talking with them about how software development used to be back in the day. I remember talking to one guy that worked on a text editor back in the 80s that was backed by a mainframe. The terminal didn't have enough computing power to manage the whole document, so it only stored a few pages locally and swapped them in from the mainframe as the user scrolled to them. Things like bulk find-replace were done via an RPC. It's interesting how many parallels this has to modern client-server web-apps. I especially like to hear from people that programmed on punch cards - that's kind of stuff is fascinating to me.

I also wonder how much of the perceived age discrimination is due to expectations of an ever-increasing salary. I remember one older co-worker that interviewed for a job, liked the company, and got an offer that he dismissed as "not much higher than entry level" and even called the offer insulting. My line of reasoning was that if he didn't have relevant domain experience why wouldn't get paid not much more than a new grad? It was still well into the 100-200k range - in the Bay Area but in a cheaper city (San Bruno I think). More than enough to save and live a comfortable life. I wonder how much of the perceived age discrimination is more about being realistic about the fact that years of experience don't automatically translate into higher productivity, paying younger folk commensurate with their contribution - as opposed to other industries where it's entrenched that young people get paid less and older people get paid more.

Not saying age discrimination doesn't exist. I've seen job adverts that explicitly specified an age cap of 40 (despite this being blatantly illegal).

It's worth noting that surveying from Stack Overflow can mean significant selecting bias.
>The fact that PhDs can be had "for free" is why so many people pursue them.

Yet it doesn't explain why they don't leave once they're done. Even the author points out how irrational he is. When I was in grad school a little over a decade ago, the realities of academic life were clear for anyone who cared to look. In his day, things were likely different - such information was hard to obtain.

I know it's harsh, but if you have the brains to do a PhD in today's age, you have the brains to do a quick analysis on your prospects in academia.

If someone gets a BS in CS with the aim to get into FAANG, and never does, and has a nervous breakdown because of it - I wouldn't blame FAANG or the software industry.
Yeah, I'm kind of bummed because I'll be at Sun n' Fun, which is one of the largest air shows... and only like an hour away from Melbourne, but apparently the F-35 isn't visiting.

Hard to justify a drive to Melbourne to JUST watch an F-35.
Ease of setup and reproducibility probably. And docker doesn't add much overhead, especially when running natively on Linux.
But are any of those ways both at the assembly level (speed) and decoupled from the runtime (space)?

My takeaway from WASI is that it would allow for a single universal runtime with near-native execution. The near-native aspect being what other universal runtimes like the JVM and CLR lack due to their bundling of a GC and other non-essential features.
Please note that the legislation you are referencing is completely unrelated to the Assistance and Access Act. It's talking about journalistic warrants (warrants on journalists not by journalists) which are their own shitstorm, but a very different topic.

The Assistance and Access Act does have the same "existence or nonexistence" wording as the law you referred to, so you're not wrong that a warrant canary for a notice under the new legislation would be a criminal offense. But there is no blanket law against warrant canaries per se, it's done explicitly in each new law about secret warrants.

What overhead?

"Docker induces no significant overhead on CPU nor memory usage, compared to a native execution (worse observation: -4%; 0% on all others)" [1]

That is certainly part of it. As someone with a phd in a field with no market demand I tell anyone with doubts about whether they want to go to grad school not to.
However, there is also the immense growth in adjuncts and non-tenure positions. In the last department I was in there were 5 tenure track positions, 4-5 people on three year contracts (which they have since cut back on) and like 10 of us that were either on one year contracts (which the school eliminated which led to me getting my current job) or "part time" faculty that they didn't have to pay benefits.

No pedestals.

> pg is being put on a pedestal being momentarily inspirational

I am certainly not doing that. I don't think what happened wrt pg and antirez even qualifies as an idea or inspiration. Chain of events? Catalyst? Memcached was already being used like a data structure server before Redis came along. Redis did put deep thought into the design which is why it works so well for so many applications.

Ideas in and of themselves have value and are needed. Really good ones take a long time to create and hone. Edison's bulb is a great example of brute force. Newton's Apple always seemed like a creation myth. History goes a lot deeper than pull quotes.
The problem is who defines what hate and a hate group is. It is usually the people you don’t want to do so, people that want to tell you what to think. Eg to some Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Thomas Sowell are considered white supremacists.
