In my experience, sufficiently large corporations can become indistinguishable from government once they achieve total regulatory capture. That's where we are now in the US. If a company could disrupt the way healthcare is paid for, that would be great.
You've clearly never worked on the hiring side of a company. I mean that literally and not snidely: you're completely unaware of the costs and complications and risks that go into hiring from the company's side.
Fwiw, when I interned in a suburb of Atlanta, as a sophomore at a company no one cares about, I made $25/hr. I believe the people who went there full time started at ~75k.

So I'd consider 60k low for any urban area.

> So apparently you won't be considered for a senior position unless you've worked in almost exactly that role in a company that was almost exactly the same at almost exactly the same career level.

A lot of this may be due to the H-1B -> Green Card application process. I think the company has to prove their existing H-1B employee is the only possible person who can fill the role by posting the job publicly, so the lawyers will craft the req as narrowly as possible. As a result, many of these listings were never intended to be filled with external hires.

By which you probably refer to the NEC2 code base. NEC2 is public domain, so that is what most hackers use. The native UI is column-senstive punch cards. Blessedly, there are people that have put more modern front-ends on the NEC2 back-end.

NEC2 is OK-ish, as long as you avoid the well-known bugs. NEC4 fixes some of the bugs, but falls under ITAR, so requires a license and can't be exported (last I knew, anyway). There are also multi-kilo-dollar-per-seat antenna modeling packages available commercially.

NEC2 is pretty old, and an interesting story I heard about the validation of the model was that the DOD, having helicopters handy, stuffed a helicopter full of instruments and flew it around an antenna range to capture ground-truth data for antennas that had been built from models. Last week I was talking with my friend N6BT, who has been in the antenna business for decades. For 3 or so years he has had a quad-rotor that he flies around with a signal generator, and uses the GPS time from the quad-rotor to correlate GPS time-stamped data from his ground-based spectrum analyzer to collect actuals. He is finding MANY discrepancies (primarily at low angles) between NEC4 and actual, due to the sketchy ground models.

It was codified in 2003[0] but dates back centuries. Here's the wikipedia entry for the code that governs access.[1] The tl;dr is "you can go where you want, just be responsible" - don't camp in somebody's garden, don't annoy the sheep, don't interrupt the hunts/stalking, and leave no trace.

It really is a fantastic tradition. As a Scottish expat, but frequent visitor, it's nice to be able to hike, bike, canoe, and camp pretty much anywhere. Trying to do the same in much of the US is likely to result in being chased off with a gun.

If you're open to a bit of interesting fiction, _The Wake_ by Paul Kingsnorth is a post apocalyptic novel set after the Norman invasion of 1066. Kingsnorth wrote the book in an invented version of old english:

https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/27232308-the-wake

Here's Kingsnorth writing about the consequences of the Norman invasion upon England today:

> [...] legacies of 1066 remain with us. Take that law enacted by Guillaume in 1067. In Anglo-Saxon England, the idea that one man — the king — literally owned the entire landbase of the nation would have been unthinkable. Today, it remains a legal reality: England is still owned, as a whole, by the Crown. The hereditary monarchy introduced by the Normans remains too, and the French concept known as ‘primogeniture’ — in which estates are inherited wholesale by the first-born son, rather than parceled out between children as was more common in Anglo-Saxon England

> [...] Today, Britain is the country with the second most unequal distribution of land on Earth, after Brazil. More than 70 per cent of the land is owned by fewer than two per cent of the population. Much of this is directly traceable to Guillaume, whose 22nd-great-granddaughter sits on the English throne today.

> [...] ask yourself whether the development of early modern capitalism in England would have been possible without that concentration of land, and therefore power and wealth. What about the consequent empire? Did the industrial revolution begin in England because that funnel of power and money made it possible? Or what about class, which is directly connected to all of those things? We are still one of the most socially and economically stratified countries in Europe. In today’s England, the rulers still drink wine and the ‘plebs’ still drink beer, just as they did in 1066.

Those aren’t market wages. Those are compensation packages awarded to long tenured employees at cash cow companies as a form of golden handcuff to keep experts on specific in-house systems. They are paid out to keep employees from taking company secrets to competitors. They work because these compensation packages are so far off market that these employees would suffer a huge pay drop if they moved. So in no way do these rates reflect the market. However it is great food for this skill shortage narrative BS.
> How do you convince someone like this that universal healthcare is better for all of us?

American conservatism is authoritarian. The only way to reach an authoritarian is to shame them. Because they are family, you shouldn't insult them or anything, but you need them to be on the defensive about those ideas.

Go through each one and ask them why they think that, but don't leave it open-ended, make it clear that you're asking why they think that despite all the evidence.

Example for response 1:

Why do you believe your taxes going up is a problem when you will be paying much less overall? How many dollars are you willing to spend to avoid one dollar in taxes?

The clarifying factor where you hold the cards and knowledge, and they don't (and therefore feel shame) is the simple fact that universal, taxpayer-funded healthcare is far cheaper than private healthcare.

Because they are authoritarian and this line of thinking disagrees with the authority, there's a very good chance that this will not work, at all. Instead, they will try to change the subject. Don't let them. Patiently guide them back to the question at hand, make them explain how much money they're willing to spend to avoid paying taxes, make them deal with the fact that they will save money.

Depending on the person, they will just trudge out or start insulting you. If you're lucky, they might listen a little. It's rare that anyone will change their mind on the spot, let alone an authoritarian conservative, whose entire identity is predicated on believing nonsense given by a chosen authority. But, if you do it enough times, it can start to sink in. Alternatively, if they start insulting you, that's when you have to bring out the less polite shaming, because it's what they respond to.

Best of luck.
You did nothing to deserve winning multiple genetic lotteries, namely having sufficient intelligence to fall into the HN cohort and being born into a wealthy country and household with access to it and similar resources. You didn’t earn your spot in the global 1%, but it in no way follows that you should be expropriated to correct the alleged injustice.

Ex post facto law has since the Enlightenment recognized as unjust and even tyrannical. Digging back across generations in search of some offense generations ago and punishing innocent parties today is at best a recipe for chaos.

Lavrentiy Beria was head of Stalin’s secret police and famous for saying, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.” Expropriating present people because of unfair advantages — a criterion never precisely defined and forever subject to political fads of the day, which is to say meaningless — allegedly enjoyed by past ancestors or owners of property is merely another form of the Beria method.

By your own reasoning, neither did the state today do anything to deserve the property that they’d seize. Even if it were justly redistributed, you’re forgetting about the cut taken by the middlemen in charge of carrying it out — who also did nothing to deserve taking a share of the loot.

No sound economic case can be made that the distribution of wealth was a cause for the Great Depression. Considering how many human abilities have normal and power-law distributions, e.g., attractiveness, musical ability, intelligence, vertical leap, height, programming skill, lifetime poker winnings, writing quality, golf handicap, typing speed, cooking skill, time to change a tire, ability to plan and manage complex tasks, future orientation, etc., etc., etc., income and wealth accumulation being anywhere remotely uniform would be amazing. Considering the math of power-law distributions, your approach would have a huge majority ganging up on a comparatively tiny minority but ironically in the name of fairness.

“No legal plunder; this is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability, harmony and logic.”
This all looks good on paper.

In practice, this assumes that all of the concerns presented there will necessarily become bottlenecks. And that is simply not true.

You can have modules with completely different deployment lifecycles, speed of development and performance characteristics as part of a single service and, for the most part, things will be totally fine.

This really reeks of premature optimization. A badly separated service is a gigantic hassle down the line.

In general, service boundaries become obvious to developers when they start seeing the friction. But the default answer should always be a no unless there is proof that friction is there. The overhead of maintaining multiple services, repos, CIs and so on is not trivial for s team of 10 people or less.

Actually doing this costs $$$ (and is probably less useful than many people think it will be)

Most employers are always looking for opportunities to cut costs, and so the $$ product that is superficially similar gets chosen not the $$$ product that will "log everything".

The $$$ solution is to literally MITM every TLS session. Build two session, one in which you pretend to be the server, one in which you pretend to be the client, and log everything as you copy it from one to the other. You need a fair amount of horsepower (CPU or specialist ASIC) and somewhere to keep all those logs, neither is cheap.

The $$ solution may have the option to resort to that, but it will lack the horsepower to do it at line rate, (e.g. you may have an appliance on a 100Mbps network that can't do this faster than 5Mbps) or the storage to log at line rate (at 100Mbps that's about 1TB per day) so unless you're being tracked specifically it's probably only doing this:

1. When you makes a new TLS session it stalls you, to see who the far end is, until TLS 1.2 they'll present their certificate in plain text, so the middlebox can read it without needing to actually MITM you. Unless the target is blocked you're allowed through, and probably not logged to save storage.

2. When a session resumption happens, the middlebox has no idea who you're talking to, but it presumes that you must be talking to someone it previously allowed, so, it makes sense to just allow this and not inspect it beyond maybe noting which IP you connected to and when.

There are a lot of ways to screw this up that destroy security, but that's the nature of cheap security appliances, you pay money, you feel better, you probably don't get any actual security.

This all gets even more amusing for TLS 1.3, notice how in bullet point 2 these boxes let through all resumptions? TLS 1.3 deliberately looks exactly like a TLS 1.2 session resumption except with a "Ssh! This is actually TLS 1.3" marker so that a TLS 1.3 server knows what's really going on. For plenty of people TLS 1.3 "just worked" because their "security" appliance doesn't actually deliver any security.
Thanks for the feedback. We’re in the process of updating the GitHub repo. We’ve responded to a number of user comments and issues via email and we’re syncing the repo soon.

The organization thing may seem sketchy, and the only reason it’s setup that way is to keep the different repos we’re creating separate so they can be (theoretically) managed by different maintainers in the future.
Hi everyone. My name is Sam and I'm one of the co-founders of CorrelatePro. Dan, the other co-founder, and I will be in the comments ready to answer any questions you may have.

We have been working on this free tool for a while as a side project while we have been in school/working.

We eventually would like this to be a tool that also allows you to purchase stocks and cryptos and then manage that portfolio. Then select certain stock and bond splits, default would just be based on your age.

We want to make it easy for people to make informed and sound investing decisions. With tools like Robinhood and other online investment platforms, it's easy to buy and sell stocks. However, it's hard to know how to diversify your assets and manage them for the long term.

We want to make this process simple, yet transparent and honest. We really like John C Bogle and his investment methodologies and want to help make them more accessible.

We also want to mention we aren't investment professionals and are learning as we go. We don't have any form of monetization and don't do anything with the investment information you put here. It's a free tool and you can delete your information at any time.

Also, here is an example portfolio you can view to interact with a portfolio created with the tool without having to sign up. https://correlate.pro/visualizer/daniel/risky/

Occam's razor is the search heuristic with bottommost priority. It works well because it's easier to falsify simpler things than more complex things. It's a technique to avoid adding epicycles and not very effective further up from there.

If you have other reasons to believe a more complex hypothesis may be likely those should generally override Occam's Razor.
Scottish expat here. It seems like a mixed bag for sure. The current land ownership state of affairs combined with the right to roam does tend to keep the large estates free from development and open for tourism. That's good.

But, as the sibling comment mentions, there's a long history of oppression of tenant farmers, who until recently were prevented from buying the land they tend. And the economic impact - while some estates have changed hands over the years, as far as I know, they tend to be sold relatively intact, so there's little chance for people of more modest means to own any of this land.

Cool. The WATFIV (Waterloo FORTRAN IV) was what I used in my first college programming class, on a pair of Amdahl 470 (IBM 370 compatible) mainframes, but as a high school kid I had taught myself BASIC and Pascal on the Apple II. At the time, I felt like FORTRAN was a step back in time, but I have more appreciation for it now.
All the land is "owned" by the monarchy, but in reality, that theoretical control would be removed in the blink of an eye if they ever made a claim on it.
I’m not disparaging people looking out for themselves.

However, renting out an asset (which generally isn’t depreciating) is only going to increase the inequity between the renter and the landlord. If their relationship is based entirely on who can afford a deposit then I don’t see what excess of demand and supply has to do with it.

If you’re talking about building so many houses that they loose their value as a commodity entirely, the problem there is an entire generation who have staked their pensions on property.

I don’t have any answers.
It is amazing that you aren't able to distinguish between your opinion and reality. Unfairness is perception.

And I am going to have to trouble you for proof of detriment. All you have said is that you don't like inequality, you have failed to demonstrate why a rational person should agree with you.

You also, ironically, don't seem to understand what the Civil War was in England or that the Civil War had quite a large effect on Scotland or that the result of the Civil War for Scotland was imposition of govt from England.

And my politics postgrad most certainly did not "include" the clearings (I am not even sure what this means...did you go to university?). The purpose of university isn't to indoctrinate and teach whatever version of truth is favoured. Perhaps this is linked to your misconceptions about the Civil War.

Finally, the issue here isn't about the "class system". There has been turnover in the ownership of estates and, last I checked, someone who is poor in Scotland can become rich (although you will probably have to move away as you will find a lot of people hanging to your ankles if you stay). The issue relates to the use of land...but I will concede, however, that class is the main issue for most Scots, they just feel the need to justify their hate in logical terms rather than see it for what it is.

Btw, saying that Scotland's biggest problem is England is an utter embarrassment (I say this as an SNP member/voter). It not only reeks of bigotry but is a self-destructive pattern of thought. Scotland's decline is a function of the nation and it's people. These "stab in the back" myths only help the weak-minded find (empty) solace in their failure.

These kids would be competing with incredibly prolific web developers who not only output an insane amount of code themselves but manage OSS at massive scales. One example is Jordan Harband, responsible for:

1. Enzyme, the current top used React testing library
2. NVM, kind of the only game in town for managing node versions
3. qs, a tool for converting search to json objects and back
4. tc39 proposals, the committee that determines new JS features

This is all in addition to his developer work at Airbnb. I would like to see a high schooler have that kind of maturity, drive, and focus.
(I'm not OP)
My concern would be that the candidate might have memorized the explanation for his code, and would be able to discuss it despite not having written it.

I agree with the DRY intuition though: making coders repeat code challenges/assignments is stupid. Some sort of verification or credentialing after completion of assignment, signed by a 3rd party, would be really cool.

It really is trivial to automate the process of creating a new service with a corresponding repo and CI pipeline. And with tools like giter8 it's not that hard to standardise on service layout and components as well. You could easily do it in a few hours.

Likewise just using modules looks good on paper but in practice most languages make it too easy to reference code in other modules. And so very quickly you end up with spaghetti code. So regardless of whether you use modules or services you still need to do a lot of upfront work in setting and enforcing some design/architectural rules.
If you are a tenant farmer, you aren't being "oppressed" by not someone not selling you land. If you offer me £20 for my house, are you being "oppressed" if I don't sell it to you?

The Church of England, Anders Povlsen, and others have all acquired huge amounts of land recently (that is why there is so much complaining about landowners from England who only come up to shoot). There is tons of forestry to bid on, and if you offer the right price then you will find willing sellers...if you offer the right price.
