To be fair, the WiFi connection is off, it's just the radio is not... It's not so much a lie, rather it's an implementation that covers the average persons expectations 100%, but keeps something they might not want, but weren't thinking about when they pressed that button.

To be clear, I don't like the behaviour.. but it's not misleading, it just doesn't cater to everyones desires.

I really liked the free Anritsu e-learning course "RF Fundamentals", which I did earlier this year: https://us.anritsu-learning.com/course/categorylist.php?view...

I work in the radio industry, and it was very useful when putting together training materials.

The black bar usually indicates the passing of someone I'm not especially familiar with. When I looked down the page and saw Joe's name I was really caught off guard. I never met him but followed him and the Erlang scene long enough to know we've lost someone special.

You are right that the HSA is a nice complement for the HDHP. If your employer has an HDHP and puts a good chunk in your HSA for you that could be a better option than a conventional plan.
Think about an ugly, unemployed dude with a bad attitude and bad personality saying that there is a shortage of girls in the dating pool who meet his attractiveness standards.

He is technically correct, the number of attractive ladies who want to date him is much lower than the number of dates he is available to go on.

But no one is going to be sympathetic to that shortage, why should anyone be sympathetic to this one.
How do you propose to punish shareholders?

Fine them? The market already does that, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars in the 737 MAX case.

Jail them? Good luck with that.

What else can/should be done to them, in your opinion?
Yeah. On average, warmer. And more energetic, more chaotic.

His statement that:

> $150/hr for consulting gigs is also normal if you're good.

Is fairly ridiculous.

I was pulling in that rate in 1995 for hourly consulting. Now in 2019 anyone competent as an independent expert in a specialized field should be pulling down $600/hr at a minimum. You'd be a fool to work for less. Sounds like this guy is simply not all that.
While the concept sounds great, I was really disappointed with the performance of app (even for Electron) and the design needs quite a lot of polishing, multiple events happening at the same time overlap quite badly, and the positions of the buttons are confusing.

I think a webapp should've been an obvious choice, but I'll be keeping a close eye on the project, it seems promising.

If a company tries (temporarily successfully) to use political connections to respond to safety issues, it's fair to bring that up in light of related safety issues.
I'll say the same thing about security people. There's an executive who's been whining on LinkedIn about the major skills shortage in this area. Here's an ad his company put up. I've had it confirmed every individual line is non-negotiable.

People like to point out how great the iPhone was, therefore, that's why it succeeded but the brilliance of the phone was the tie to the phone companies and the continued improvement by apple.

Magic's big problem was that it did not have a revenue model. Engineers like to point to great gadgets and products but if the products can't be monetized then don't expect them to be around for long.

Steves brilliance was that he was able to monetize a gadget from the start. The first iPhones were good but they would have failed had they not been paired with an affordable service. Had people had to pay for the phone first then the iPhone would have failed.
> Not to mention we get free health care

The (many) issues with US health care do not affect upper/middle class professionals.

From a "patient perspective", as long as you are employed as a software engineer in SV, health care is not a concern at all (insurance is covered by the employer). If anything, it is superior to anything I experienced in Europe.
Microphones are much more the worry; you can't cover them up like a camera, and are omnidirectional.
If all you care about is your SSH key not being stolen, then you can very easily use a YubiKey (or other smartcard..) with SSH via either GPG or PKCS11. Both will mean your key never leaves your YubiKey (or other smartcard...). This doesn't prevent your colleagues from having their key stolen, but does protect yours.

I can use the YubiKey for SSH from Linux, Mac, Android phones without issue, and I keep several YubiKeys with my keys on them so it's extremely unlikely I'll loose them all at once.

Re the paranoia - if you're really the only person who can fix something, and you have lost your closest key, then - the thing in need of fixing can wait till you get home to your second key ;)

Do you use a microwave or oven to reheat food?
I grew up heating and reheating food and drink in a microwave. After moving in to my own place, I opted to use a small oven over a microwave. The food heated in an oven tastes superior to food heated in a microwave.

How is that the microwave became ubiquitous? Generally speaking, a minute in the microwave would require 8 minutes (+ 3 minutes for preheating) in the oven. So is it simply a matter of time savings? "Save ten minutes and eat food that tastes worse?"
There are no facts that socialized medicine would be better for the US either.

And many of the things you mention are factually correct statements on for example, M4A.

When you say "convince" you actually show militancy, not understanding. I get it though, the topic is very complex and people lean very differently. I think the best way to deal with this political will is to do a public option. More choices to the people: if public truly is better, then it will promptly show it in the open market. If its not, then we know socialized solutions will not work.
We restrict immigrants to the US so we don’t flood the country with low skilled labor. Most first world countries do this. We’re reducing H1Bs, as they were used to depress wages. This is no different, and it saddens me that you think this is “I got mine fuck you”. Is that what you think of the GM workers losing their jobs in Ohio? I desire high wages for as many workers as possible.
You're talking to the person so you just answer questions like that as they come up.
Does it make a difference if the pot is calling the kettle black here? Even if the US admitted it, that would strengthen the argument.

“We know it’s a national security threat, because we do it”.
Most phones use Assisted GPS. It's a combination of cell tower triangulation and GPS. You'll get a potentially inaccurate "GPS" location based on the cell towers and signals you can see, and this will eventually turn into a real GPS lock.

As I understand it, this cell tower location actually helps achieve a real GPS location faster that would be normal - but I'm unsure how that would work .. I'd be guessing at best ;)

For my current job I took a 30 minute phone interview followed by an offer. The offer was what I was making as a consultant + benefits/vacation. So really it was a huge net pay increase. The project isn't super inspiring but I almost never work overtime, get 6 weeks vacation and it's 100% remote. This is honestly the best job I've ever had. I really don't understand why people put up with 4-5 interviews, homework, etc.

I guess I could understand it if I REALLY wanted to work at company X and company X happened to have annoying interview practices. But is that the condition for most people seeking jobs? Or is there some selection bias of who is posting about their experiences?

Despite thousands of local micro-currencies, not one of them seems based on gold or silver despite the fact that these two are most likely to succeed at replacing fiat.

I had that same experience interviewing with a startup in 1996, if you can believe it. They were looking at their "burn rate" by literally spending extra on airfare, but when I told them what I was earning, they said, "with that site?" No, doofuses, with my consulting; the site was just brochureware.

They didn't actually give me any answer until I asked them to give me one - then they said my attitude with the top management made it clear I wasn't a good candidate for the position.

Dodged that bullet.
What's the relevance of that?

I remember Ola from his work on jruby in the early jruby days.
Its not private/public that makes healthcare expensive in the US. Medicare is also public and fairly unlimited and also way more expensive than Norway health.

There's a big group of other issues at play. And universal healthcare in the US would be so massive that you can't compare it to a small country.
There are a lot of evidence about brushing, and only brushing. Article admits it. Flossing is more contraversial, and the best argument is about problems that could arise decades later: this argument not just a rational argument for flossing, but also explains the weakness of scientific evidence. It must be hard to make a longitudal research while controlling subjects for flossing, I can understand it. But it doesn't mean that there are a lot of evidence, it means there are plausible excuses for a lack of evidence. I see this distinction as an important one.

(At the same time I acknowledge, that article doesn't express it in such a wording, it does it more vague, leaving some crucial information behind links and stressing the point of lack of evidence, to justify the headline. It is clumsy.)

Also in the article mentioned yearly X-rays, frequency of brushing, scaling and polishing, bonded amalgams, interdental brush, preventive visits. Not every in the exact sense that "little evidence found", and I didn't bother to visit the all linked articles to see what is there, but nevertheless, I want to point, that brushing and flossing is just a part of the article.

In any case I see that the headline is good enough. After some thinking I even do not see "surprisingly" as a redundant word: surprise is a subjective feeling and the author can be surprised when I'm not. Moreover I guess that not only the author was surprised but some of his readers also.

edit: typo
This is an important feature that, statistically, nobody uses. Worse, I challenge you to try it on a major site. :(

Again, I like the argument. I just feel there is more taking about it, than benefits from it. Empirically, it just falls flat.
> our social empathy has never been higher

Ha. Well, that's the opposite of what I think the article is trying to say: social empathy is at its highest for those who are on your side, those you agree with, for your friends. But it's zero for your enemies: depending on which side you're on, think of your empathy towards Trump, or Clinton, or Weinstein, or the "social justice warriors". So it's "selective empathy". The selective empathy might be at its highest, but empathy in general seems to have declined. Maybe to the point you don't even think anymore it should be included in a measure of "empathy".

> a deference to rules-based process and a commitment to be bound

Sorry if I stress that again, but why would you commit to be bound if these institutions are meant to mediate between you and somebody you have no empathy for, somebody who is absolutely wrong, somebody you hate?

To give you an extreme example of what I mean, would you accept to be bound by the decisions of an institution that is dedicated to finding a middle ground between you and child rapists? Or would you say that since any middle ground with child rapists is unacceptable, the institution's itself unacceptable?
Important to note that little/no evidence doesn't mean it's false, it's just that it hasn't been (rigorously) studied. When the flossing story came out a couple of years ago (no evidence that flossing is good for your teeth), the headlines jumped on that and distorted the fact the it was just that it hadn't been studied, not that it didn't have an effect.

There are surely cases where something is so bleedingly obvious no one has thought to do a peer reviewed study of it. Then there are things long assumed and just part of standard procedure in the same category that are worth a bit of rigor.
People really do not get that the rotten core of the healthcare market is regulatory capture, and that a bigger healthcare system will mean bigger regulatory capture.
Your desire not to have to admininster OpenWrt yourself is legit. I don't either. The Mozilla WebThings Gateway integration work is being done by Mozilla so that they can offer the result to OEMs who would sell a product with it already installed, and the Mozilla team would maintain the sw. So consumers at any tech skill levels won't have to be sysadmins in order to achieve the privacy and security protections they deserve.
It's partly because it is difficult to change. All power flows from the Crown, and the democratic system has been bolted on to that, so it's difficult to change in a way that doesn't leave it open to legal challenge or require wiping the whole system clean and starting over.

If you make a new constitution under the current system, it can always be undone-they _can't_ abandon that power. Furthermore, Parliament doesn't have the power to get rid of the Queen, but Parliament requires the Queen in order to have power so she can't remove herself. If you change it on a standalone basis, and completely abandon the old ways, what legal authority do they have to do that, and will it be recognised? I imagine the Courts especially would be sceptical about such a big divergence from the constitution (without an intervening event, which seems unlikely given the Queen polls well).

Realistically, the Queen only have has power on paper (she can never exercise it, except as required theoretically to give power to democratic decisions), so it'd be a big upheaval for little gain.

If the company is pre-ipo then look for top 10 venture capitalists as investors (Kleiner Perkins etc). This signals a company with good prospects! You do research - if you have to, pay the money to join CrunchBase - and figure out what each share is worth in the last funding round in dollars. Sometimes it's published in news articles and sometimes in Delaware Corp filings ($$$ to retrieve; crunchbase is easier). Their offer should be market if the (stock grant) x (last funding round price/share) + your base and bonus is average for a person at your level. Check levels.fyi. check Glassdoor salaries. If it's a unicorn check the university of bc unicorn report to see if there are ratchets or preferred shares (bad for you, a common stock grantee) in previous funding rounds. Then make a guess if they can IPO. 95% of silicon valley companies cannot. I picked one that was already getting ready to file an s-1 (IPO disclosure).

My biggest mistake as a new grad PhD was local cost of living. I wanted the prestige of working at a well known university. Turns out I didn't have the safety net or family wealth to work there.

Use an online calculator to estimate after-tax take home pay. Look at home price per square foot. A good offer nationally will pay 300 sq ft of real estate (take home pay) per year. My salary has varied from 110 to 1800 sq ft per year. I quit the 110 sq ft job after 2 years I just couldn't afford it; that is unsustainable! The 1800 sq ft job was in Phoenix; one house (new) per year! My current salary is ~250 sq ft a year which sucks nationally but is good for one of the most expensive cities in silicon valley (400+ sq ft just a few blocks away in a lesser school district); I am very Senior with 30 YOE.

Totally clueless. Good luck with that.

Recently talked to a certain Beaverton, Oregon based shoe company. APPARENTLY, they hire a lot of their new hires as "contractors" and dangle the "full time" carrot in front of their face for a year. Swear up and down you are not a second class citizen... except you can't use the gym. Or go to the holiday party or use a lot of their facilities. And your badge is a different color.

Yeah, go sell that to someone else. Good luck finding a competent engineer.
That's not utility, but health outcomes.

What I truly don't get about M4A advocates or believers is why they don't tolerate a public option. Just let the state compete in the open market, and if you like state run , you have your and thats it.

>Equation for what? Length at resonance? Feed point impedance? Other interesting parameters?

I should have clarified: The arm length of a half wavelength dipole and all the variables that go into it. I assumed it was 1/4 wavelength, but while building mine, I discovered calculators that gave calculations different from mine.

>So start with a couple of fundamental ideas: 1) Accelerate an electron, get a photon. 2) An antenna is a transformer that couples the end of your feed line to free space.

I don't mean to sound thick, but you've already assumed too much. Before I signed up for a membership with my local radio society, I didn't even know Ohm's law.

I pride myself in being technical. If I can teach myself to code and, in a few years, craft tested API's and decoupled front-ends that are tested through CI pipelines and deploy through CD, I can surely teach myself enough physics to build an antenna — no.

I still struggle to understand basic concepts like:

+ Baluns
+ Why does the height of an antenna effect its effectiveness?
+ Gain
+ Circuit design
+ Transistors
+ Honestly, I still think radio waves are magic sometimes, even though I think I've seen the effects of electrically generated magnetic fields on coils

>You might enjoy playing with one of the NEC2-based antenna modeling programs out there.

Tried playing with CocoaNEC 2.0, but the lack of documentation left me feeling like an air head.

I'm hoping a little more exposure to electrical systems will help.

After the housing bubble burst I decided it was time to buy a new house. I made an offer on a house and we went back and forth but we hit the ceiling I was willing to pay so we went our separate ways.

After the seller had an agreement with two other families fall through they called me 9 months later asking if I was interested. I went back to my first offer from the start and told them I'd close in two weeks. Deal was done.
