The high mention of Abilify in the article and your comment makes me worried. I am currently on Abilify (10mg) for antipsychotic reasons. It seemed to be a "new generation" safer antipsychotic. Reading the Wikipedia article about it makes it sound a lot of research is unclear about the side effects.

> to write good code for these projects, it can take me upwards of 8 hours.

The good data science take-home assignments I've done suggest a 2-3 hour limit and they were correctly scoped for that limit, although technically there's no incentive for the candidate to stick to that limit.

The worst take home I did suspiciously did not have an expected time limit (but was due in 48 hours after issuing). It was extremely broadly scoped, and as a result it took 16 hours; even after a couple years as a data scientist now and familiar with time-saving tricks, it would still take 8 hours minimum if you weren't already familiar with the company's data.
This isn't an article. It's a graph. I didn't see the "About the Data" section when I looked at it the first time time. I was looking in the wrong places, as it is below the generic position advertising part and assumed any further info on the page was unrelated to the graph.

Thanks for letting me know the data is present. :)
The Impossible Burger is the best veggie burger I've ever had.

I was a vegetarian for 10 years, and have now been a pescatarian for 8 years. It has been 18 years since I have had a proper cheeseburger, and since then I have had many thousands of veggie burgers. Cheeseburgers are probably my favorite food, and I haven't had one in 18 years. If someone told me that the world would end tomorrow, I would go out and eat a proper cheeseburger.

I have some experience in this area, is what I'm trying to say. The flavor and texture is the closest to actual meat I've ever had. And that, then, is the key for a lot of people: they don't want a veggie burger that simulates meat. Which is fine! I do, and I imagine the market for close-to-meat veggie burgers is bigger than obviously-not-meat veggie burgers.

Others in the thread have mentioned the Beyond Burger, which is also good. But the Impossible Burger, for me, is way better. I have had my Impossible Burgers at Bareburger. At home, I went with Morningstar Farm's Grillers Prime for a long time, but about a year ago they changed the recipe, and I did their black bean for a while. I have since discovered if I season the Griller's Prime while I'm frying it, it comes out much better.
Also #7, "want to use graph databases? noSQL? good luck" Is incorrect. How do I know? I've built a non-trivial Django app with a Neo4J backend. It included an API using Django REST framework. There are some parts of Django that are tied to the ORM, mainly the admin and some generic views. But you can certainly use Django without those pieces.
Honestly could not be more excited about this, my kids have been looking forward to it as well!

I bought a cake, decorated the house with streamers and balloons... it's gonna be a blast!
There is a significant difference between the v1 and v2. v1 is a reasonable copy of a meat burger. v2 is nearly indistinguishable. Many restaurants are just now finishing up their v1 stock, so you may still see it around.

Stumbling across the December '98 issue of Linux Journal in the Tower Records store across from the UT Austin campus was kind of a transformative moment for me. :) Resubscribed just for that sense of nostalgia alone.

I also work in Boston and have done so since 2010. My experience has been the same as yours. A little over 15 years of experience, worked at a fairly well-known Boston startup, now in a VP level at a digital agency and I was also shocked at the kind of salaries indicated here. I don't feel I could command $180,000 in Boston even with all my experience.

You're not doing anything wrong. I just don't think Boston pays these kind of salaries (yet). We've got a burgeoning tech scene here but compensation isn't at the same level. When I was looking to relocate back to Denver a few years ago, Boston salaries were much higher than what I was seeing out there.
But still - an appreciable amount of bootcamp grads are factually making this amount of salary. Even if it's not the average, it's still amazing.
Are they cooked separately from the meat burgers? Some people don’t care, but some definitely do.

Carl’s Jr. doesn’t keep their Beyond Burgers separate, apparently.
Given the nature of evolution, I think that the appeal to nature in nutrition is a much more substantive argument than can be immediately dismissed. Grossly speaking, natural foods have also existed for longer and been better studied, meaning we are more likely to know about the impact of natural foods than newer foods that aren't yet common to our diet.

While "better because natural" isn't some infallible nutritional law, it serves as a very solid rule of thumb for those of us who don't have the time or motivation to more thoroughly study the science behind it.
Research shows that the two best ways to screen candidates are a general knowledge/IQ test (which is mostly illegal in the US) and a work sample test.

The fact that a work sample test predicts work success makes a lot of sense - have them do the thing you want to pay them to do and evaluate how well they do it. Duh!

You should screen folks using the work that they are going to be doing for you. Are you hiring someone to code on a whiteboard? No? Then why are they doing that in the interview?
I thought the new school of thought was never, ever attempt to date a colleague. Too much risk, even in considering.

This sounds like a social nightmare. The needs and behaviors of a 5 year-old vs a 10 y/o and an 11 y/o vs a 15 y/o are astronomically different.
The mobile app does, but you can't default to it, so you have to do two taps: "Menu" -> "All Inboxes" every time you open the app if that's the view you prefer.
It is kind of hard I guess.

I stop subscribing for a couple of years, specially after focusing again on Windows. I decided to re-activate my subscription when they started to reach out to old subscribers trying to rescue the magazine.
This was one of the challenges my company faced when building a product that enabled SMS as a support channel. SMS conversations never "end" in the way that webchats do and also have a different ebb-and-flow. Completing a "call" involves spurts of near real-time messaging along with large time gaps (hours or days). Our early customers also spent a lot of time convincing their own customers that they were talking to real humans and not bots.

Traditional call-center metrics were tough to apply though CSAT improvements were dramatic and almost instantaneous. Despite the lack of features compared to web chat, people really responded to SMS. I'm sure that was due to convenience (people are in their SMS/messaging client anyway) and that our customers staffed the lines with real people, rather than bots.
This is a good answer. Jumping ship frequently works very well until you hit the plateau for your local market. I don’t have the data in front of me but my job changes early in my career netted me raises of sometimes 50% but each subsequent one increased less on a percentage basis. My last job change was +0%. There is definitely an invisible ceiling in effect.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that more advanced high school level math should be transformed into an exercise in memorization. They're talking about kids that are 7 or 8 years old memorizing their multiplication tables.
Consumerism: the protection or promotion of the interests of consumers

I think there are very definitely market forces at work, keeping people in the mindset that pharmaceuticals are the only 'real' effective solution to their ills - when so, so many other alternatives are available. I don't doubt that chemicals can make peoples lives happier - I see it all the time.

What I resist, however, is the notion that individuals should subjugate themselves to collective will just because everyone says pharmaceuticals are the way. Maybe strengthening ones resistance to groupthink and collective-derived thought processes is also an effective way to strengthen ones mental health .. alas, this point of view is too often overwhelmed by the very mob it serves to service, however ...
I think the developmental aspects of the argument regarding DHA are interesting.

Aside from that, even if the article is wrong about one thing, it doesn't mean it's wrong about everything.

The search results surrounding some of the topics this article touches on do show heavy pro-meat biases. But even with an agenda, it doesn't make all of the information garbage.

If meat industry pundits are extremists, vegans are similar in their fanaticism, even if tactics differ. Ultimately, the fighting itself is tiresome.

Humans are omnivores, and it's never going to go all one way.

When cost is used as a proxy for ease of supply, essential nutrients are most readily sourced from a menu that is neither one nor the other option, but really well-rounded and omnivorous.

Unfortunately, that means extremists on both sides have partially valid arguments.
> In fact grass is the best crop to grow for sustainable farming

Depending on your definition of "sustainable." Grass-fed beef produces substantially more greenhouse gas per human-edible Calorie, in terms of global warming potential, than growing the crops that humans eat directly. I think it will be tough to argue that meat farming is sustainable until net global greenhouse gas emissions are at a sustainable level, which is clearly not the case today.
It depends on the state. In some states many government video feeds are considered public documents. The problem is that you're usually not allowed to tap in live, you have to file a paper request and then pay for duplication of the video.

In Houston, when Transtar (the local transportation management agency) first put up its network of traffic cameras it worked out a deal with one of the local TV stations (KPRC, I think) to provide it with exclusive access to the video.

The other stations pointed out that in Texas, Transtar video was considered public records, and so Transtar had to allow every TV station use them, as long as they ran fiber to the agency's headquarters to pick up the feeds. So KPRC's "exclusive" advantage evaporated within a month or two.
What externalities are you talking about? Sure these poor workers are suffering for our comfort, but there must be poor neighbors closer to you that are more to be pitied (they depend on you more than the Chinese). Also, the externalities of Saudi Aramco are mostly about the environment (climate, air pollution, war, terrorism, dictatorship). That's a whole different story, isn't it?

They're good for different people. Rising after IPO is good for the investors who bought the IPO shares, but bad for the company who could have sold the IPO shares for more. Falling after IPO is the other way around.
Transcriptic (YC W15) | Backend, Full-stack engineers, Designers | Menlo Park, CA | https://transcriptic.com | FULL TIME; ONSITE
Transcriptic is turning life science into an information technology by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Scientists anywhere can define and (reproducibly!) run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find the best plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors in a unified way, and an interface to control our automated labs.

Yes, freedom of expression in the US is wonderful. As is freedom of religion. But still, when I'm feeling cynical, I observe that freedom of expression in the US ends when you're actually doing anything.

Or even talking about actually doing anything. Issues around the ritual use of peyote and ayahuasca come to mind.

And still, it's about as good as it gets on planet Earth. Except for, in some ways, northern Europe.

That's a great US report. Thanks. I've drifted a lot around the US, and I was seriously into whitewater for a few years. traveling barely navigable creeks and rivers in the southeastern US, I saw some unbelievable stuff.
> Why not send them to private school then

Top-notch tutoring still costs less than 4 or 8 years of private school tuition.
> Medication cannot make people happy.

But it can allow one to find happiness. Depression is a chemical imbalance, and not everyone can overcome it on their own - especially if left untreated for extended lengths of time. The medicine helps people get back into balance, so they can start to work on their happiness again, whatever that may be.

But as the article made clear, the drugs were reducing her performance at school!

This is one area where I think the ADHD community has pulled ahead, good doctors will, when someone starts a new treatment, do weekly check-ins[1] with how one's quality of life is going across multiple metrics. Mood, self image, social life, and work/school performance.

The fact this isn't done for all forms of psychiatric treatment is shocking and sad.

From a non-medical perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is good in that it tries to help people find fulfillment, or at least come to peace with themself.

[1] Proper ADHD treatment is supposed to be provided by a psychiatrist and psychologist working in tandem and communicating with each other. Unfortunately the % of times this is actually done is most certainly way under 1%. Not even going to get into the insurance issues around this...

Welfare comes with strings attached, or is spent on services (e.g. a soup kitchen). These are much less likely to be squandered, as the funds' applications are not determined by the recipients. UBI is not subject to such restrictions. There's nothing stopping people from wasting UBI. As the previous comment pointed out, people will waste their UBI so we'll end up paying for both UBI and traditional welfare. This is bad for UBI proponents, who usually depend on scrapping nearly all welfare spending too afford UBI.
I reviewed these sort of web frameworks some time ago and went with ASP.NET Core because of the language attached being more to my liking and industrial-strength than Python, PHP or Ruby. I go in assuming every project will be 500KLOC someday, because it can happen. I've seen codebases this large in Python, and it was no bueno. Static typing, forward migration / backwards compatibility take top priority for me.

Laravel was my 2nd choice, the recent adoption of a JIT into the core really adds some desirability to the space. Not to mention HHVM and how much Wordpress is out there.
How to Interview Senior Tech Talent Remotely
I agree with you. I wonder what it would take to get rid of those discounts in terms of legislature and how individual voters could work together to fix it. The current system is ridiculous. A $17 procedure should not be billed at $1,200 "because they can".
This is very much in use when possible. They are called fiducial markers, or sometimes registration targets, registration markers etc.
NoRedInk |Full-Stack Engineers,Site Reliability Engineers, and Engineering Managers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

Years of experience tops out at "8+"? An engineer that started working at 22 is barely 30 by the time they reach that experience level. Is 8 years really the point where additional experience ceases to have a meaningful effect on salary? Or do these three cities (SF/NYC/Seattle) just do a pretty good job of expelling software engineers after they attain their first gray hair?
