> I also was not being a smart ass.

It really bothers me that you even have to clarify something like this. Students should be skeptical of what they're being told. That doesn't make a student a smart ass - it makes them a critical thinker. Teachers who take offense when their "authority" is innocently questioned are doing a massive disservice to their students.
Presumably because you (unlike the employer in this case) aren't a nasty person and would like to let your employer have time to hand over and tidy up tasks, hire or train a replacement and so on.
I worked at a Microsoft affiliate a few years back, and it was common knowledge that if you put in your two weeks notice, a couple of days later armed security would come and escort you out.

It's not economical. But the investors and executives who make decisions on corporate locations enjoy living in SV/SFBA, so here we are.
This is a reading test, not an art test. Here, whatever "art" is in the poem, there is also text with plain, objective meaning and discernible structure. The test is directed to the latter, not the former. And that is, by far, the more important thing to teach children. An informed citizenry in a democracy doesn't need art. They do need to be able to convey their thoughts in a structured, clear manner in writing.
Throws a little doubt on those who say the money is in the treatment and not the cure :).
That’s a nice looking watch. If it had an automatic movement I may seriously consider getting one.
My understanding is that they spin up separate entities to sign leases, and have cancellation clauses. It seems nuts landlords would agree to that but it’s come up a few times in prior threads.
Surely the words per day one can learn correlates with the difficulty of the language, and mandarin is amongst the hardest for English speakers to learn. So it is probably meaningless to argue about the absolute number of words per day a person can reasonably expect to learn without specifying the foreign language and the learner's native language.
Nice! I always end up implementing some portion of this on every major project I do. After using something like Rust's Serde crate, you really miss this functionality in Python.

> Because people aren't stupid and when they realise they're being paid less than they're worth they'll leave, and then you'll have to go through the pain of recruiting someone else.

I just took a 20% pay-cut to go work somewhere I thought I might like. There is more to a position than the compensation package.
Though I agree with the annoyance of high marginal rates for one-time windfalls of income, I think it's more practically workable to only allow forward averaging in the form of "pay all the taxes now and fill out this new form XYZ to allow you to perform the alternative averaging process over the next 4 tax years".

Otherwise, you end up effectively amending N returns (possibly opening them back up for examination), needing to calculate what taxes would have been due under the then-extant tax brackets and laws, possibly needing to make inflation adjustments for figures that are decades removed from the tax years in question, realistically needing to pay interest on the taxes that you didn't pay in 1972 but are now claiming are part of your 1972 income because you sold a company in 2019, and everyone would have incentive to file a tax return showing earned income from age 1. (Maybe I arrange for my child to have a job posing for photographs and being paid $20 just to get their income tax filing clock started and being able to income average all the way back to that year instead of only to age 17, 19, or 21.) Forward-only averaging avoids (or substantially avoids) those issues.

Is it possible you were sufficiently immersed to not notice the horrible color banding? I am very confident this was not a creative decision, and it was so bad as to be nearly unwatchable (I paused several times in the middle of the episode, downloaded multiple pirated versions to make sure it wasn’t something on my end, and even googled the problem, which only resulted in me seeing spoilers).
FYI There is a malware text pop up that just appeared on this site saying “your device has been compromised”.

I was in the gifted program in elementary school and it was the absolute best part of school. I was normally completely bored but "horizons" was the only class I got to learn at my own pace, explore what I found interesting, and be with other kids like me.

I don't think this squares with The Scarlet Letter being read in just about every high school in the US.
If you ever watch little kids learning a language, you'll notice that they just try. They butcher it, they don't care. But at least they're trying and practicing the whole language generation pathways in the brain.

Meanwhile adults are often too anxious to even try no matter how proficient they might be. I myself went years without even trying to talk to anyone in Spanish despite living in Mexico. Watching children trying to learn a language was inspiring to me.
Companies can easily move, people mostly don't.

It was the other way around until XIX century. People had been moving around Europe or emigrating to America in search of lower taxation while moving physical business (like local brewery) was next to impossible.
Before they did that there was tremendous abuse by spammers. I'm sure the reason they haven't come up with a good workaround for regular ppl is more in line with their general sleazyness
Look pretty good, but that approach won't be sufficient for more advance serialisation e.g. you want a user with password in case X and without in case Y. Type system is not expressive enough, so you need something more expressive like Marshmallow.

Like almost everyone I've done the blogging thing on blogging platforms, on hosted traditional sites, on github with jekyll, etc. At some point I always get tired of dealing with it, question why I am even posting something, and what the whole point of it is.

Essentially what I want is a journal, and as my vanity continues be killed, I'm sure I'll eventually go to using an actual paper journal.

Right now I am one step away, I've been using gopher to blog on SDF.org. A huge reduction in audience, and since it is text based, its about as simple as you can get.
I don't think I have any strong feelings on TLDs today. Especially when there's so many new TLDs, appropriations of the county code TLDs, and so many non-techies. I'm guessing many techies no longer know what the original TLDs meant, back before rules/conventions were relaxed, pre-ICANN. Either .net or .org original meanings, "of one", could work.

As an aside, I'm still slightly uncomfortable with the real-name domain name. I did it because I had some idea that this was a facet/presence of my real identity, which already had a name, and there's the idea of standing behind one's name. The discomfort is because my upbringing tried to teach me a flavor of traditional values, like not being boastful, not advertising your deeds, etc., yet the real-name domain name means I'm plastering my name all over, like some politician. Maybe why I went with it despite discomfort is that I'd gotten used to discomfort -- trying to reconcile upbringing (humble is good), with personality (still learning), with conventions in industry&academia (promoting name is accepted/required). I don't worry about it, and I do need some kind of identifier in this space, but I don't know whether I'll ever fully like the domain name.
Uber and Lyft Stop Accepting New Drivers in New York City
I agree in part, it seems more apparent however that this cursory and throw away philosophy is the trend in modern intellectualism; the idea that in two lines one can convey a sense of authority, provide an accurate and irrefuteable conclusion, and then solve for x.

It is unfairly simplistic, to give people their own soundbites and bolster their already established opinions, when carefully approaching any one of the things listed would properly require an entire volume and much study.
Absolutely not. There is no precedent for a corporation being legally required to maximize profits to the extent of breaking the law.

So, it isn't actually.

I did a short foray into learning Morse Code, and I ran into what I found to be the biggest barrier to learning new languages. The bloody lookup table phenomena.

What happens is your mental representation maps the Morse sequence->your primary language character->whatever the message then actually means.

This is a very high overhead mental process, and one specifically advised against by fluent Morse keyers. What you want is to map the Morse pattern->it's representative concept.

Example:

First mental impl would look like
... -> S
--- -> O
... -> S
Then you mentally reparse that string to get semantic meaning.

Trying to do this for more complex messages blows. Case and point.

..-. --- .-. ....... ... .- .-.. . .-.-.- ....... -... .- -... -.-- ....... -... --- --- - .. . ... .-.-.- ....... -. . ...- . .-. ....... .-- --- .-. -. .-.-.-

Imagine that coming over a line at about 13 to 25 wpm.

You don't have time to decode and reparse. You need realtime streaming and recognition of word units->meaning. No decode phase, just "oh, that's 'blah'"

Same thing applies with other languages. Language is used to nominatively stand in for forms of life. N'est ce pas? In any other language is still indicative of the same form of life/confluence of characteristics, 'is it not?'

It's seems easier when you're younger because you aren't fighting the lookup table phenomena because you're still learning your primary language.

It's why when learning a new programming language, an escalating series of higher complexity Hello World's you've implemented in other languages can be a godsend in getting up to speed.
GitLab Product Manager here

I'm not super familiar with Circle CI's SSH debugging, but we do have a feature called "Interactive Web Terminals" https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/interactive_web_terminal/.

This allows you to connect to a terminal in the running job on GitLab CI for debugging. Would love to understand how this does or does not meet your use-case here.
Take another low-margin business: supermarkets. Do you want to raise supermarket (or other necessity) prices across the board by whatever the revenue-based corporate tax rate is? That would have a substantially regressive overall impact on consumers (in that the poor would bear a greater portion of that tax than their share of income).
Good test questions are hard to write. That's why standardized tests usually have lots of them so deficiencies with individual questions become statistically irrelevant. At the end of the day, we aren't trying to probe exactly what the students know. We aren't trying to read minds here. We just want an accurate distribution curve. We don't need great test questions for that. We just need some correlation between the correction answers and academic abilities.
Personalized combination therapies lead to better outcomes for cancer patients
I think that "burning at the stake" while not historically accurate better conveys the circumstances under which those people were executed because it calls to mind a "witch hunt" in the metaphorical sense which is a fitting description of the (literal) witch hunts in question. At the end of the day "witch hunts" were a thing of the past and Europe (rightfully) regarded the Puritan's witch hunts in Massachusetts colony the way we would regard hearing about a some practices that we consider barbaric and have long since moved on from.

In any case I have edited my original comment to be technically correct.

> The problem with French is that the French are very sensitive to mistakes.

Define sensitive?

When my wife (who is Czech) or my colleague (who is Venezuelan) make French errors, I correct them the same way I correct my children: not because it is annoying me (I don't speak Czech and my Spanish is terrible!) but because I want to help them.

And yes, if someone speaks bad French, I'll switch to English but that's not out of disrespect, it's because it's more efficient/easy, if you prefer that the discussion stays in French to practice your French, just say so..
One of the reasons they can do that in Turkey is Turkish government is structured in such a way that most records of even local government organisations are required to be entered into central database. USA lacks that.
As someone who works on a "modern" low-code platform, your comment reads like someone who hasn't used the state of the art.

I've had to manipulate actual XML maybe once in a year; and usually because of an insane legacy DB schema. I'm sure it happens but I don't see it much. In fact XML isn't a huge factor. You know it's there, but you don't really care.

Also they aren't "always Eclipse based", lately they are browser-based, which will irritate people just as much (but the web is something more of a "growth market" than Java IDEs).

Modern platforms have built-in testing suites. I have seen individual rules or UIs with hundreds of tests. (Process models remain hard to test, though, much to everyone's frustration)

The plugin problem is real, even in modern platforms. That said, pick any platform - the web browser, an IDE, even a game engine. For a lot of users, entirely dependent on plugins. It's just part of life.

when you have a $10 billion tax bill that you can afford to pay $5 billion to attorneys and accountants to avoid it.

I personally think this is overstated as a root cause. Giant corporations have the same lawyer budget to spend avoiding payroll taxes or GSTs/VATs, but it doesn't make that kind of difference. That's because salaries, sales and value adds are, in practical terms, objective truths. The law & accounting standards define them, locate them to a jurisdiction and that definition is defensible. A transaction either is or isn't a salary, or a sale.

Profit otoh, is subjective. Expenses can be expressed as investments, retained earnings can be expressed as growth. Most importantly, profit doesn't have an objective location.

It really works, since we've hired many people, which obviously were not familiar with Flow. I came myself as c-family programmer.

It sounds like the person received unemployment benefits until their intended resignation date. That seems fair, right? You certainly wouldn’t receive unemployment benefits after you resigned. As for wrongful termination, I don’t know the law behind that, but this certainly doesn’t obviously seem wrongful to me. What am I missing?

An anecdote from a trip to Paris, I walked into a store to look for a gift for someone back home. After making the greeting in French, I started to explain what I was looking for. The woman stopped me. With a dramatic eye roll she said, "Speak English, pleeeease."

An anecdote from a trip to Quebec city. My wife and I walked up to a hostess to inquire about getting a table for dinner. We greeted her in French. As soon as we started to ask about a table, she stopped us and said, "No no no no. This will be in English."

It's only two anecdotes. I may have simply run into rude people. But, they made me not care to ever speak French.

My daughter is taking Spanish in school right now. I'm learning a little as well. We have a large population of people around us from different Spanish speaking countries. They seem to be very tolerant of mistakes. I'm very much looking forward to learning more of their language.
no, that's what I was talking about.

> If you go to a high level of abstraction, you remove useful distinctions.

That's my point and what I was extrapolating from your high-level comment. If you're going to give an example, it's good to talk about things the gas station and software company do to reduce that income to, or below, zero. Things that can provide direct, positive, net gain impact on ownership of the corp. However, those same things are not available to employees of the corp.

To me, the rules should be the same for _any_ taxable entity.
This could be the sort of thing that’s intensely painful in the short term but pushes us to adopt strategies that are better choices for the long term.

The last time oil prices surged like that (2007-8), political will to develop and improve transit also surged.

Additionally, high oil prices mean a more competitive market for the renewable and low-emissions energy sources that we’ll need to switch to if we want to have any chance at mitigating climate change.

The article says China will be hit particularly hard by this price increase; but they’ve also got the political will to respond by investing more in developing renewables, as they have been the last 10-15 years already.
Amex Data Science Interviews

Perhaps, but they have shown double digit YoY growth that exceeds general internet growth for many years.

Personally I think it's largely because, for lucrative queries, everything above the fold is now an ad. Ads that have been tweaked and a/b tested to oblivion. Hard to grow on growth when your best trick is mostly played out.
Ok, thank you for the feedback!
NOTE: this comment does not add anything to the discussion

"As adults we’re less willing to be novices for an extended period of time." - I read this comment and thought to myself "Interesting" and moved on to other web pages. And then it hit me again and again that this was absolutely true in a lot of cases where me or my friends found it frustrating to learn something new. Thank you for putting it this way.
> Why speak French well when for a fraction of the effort speaking poorly gets you 90% of the return.

Because that last 10% (which is actually more like the last 99%) is the part where you actually create friends, relationships, and connect with other people beyond "how are you?" And people actually start inviting you to social gatherings again because you can keep up in conversation even though your new-foreign-guy appeal wears off. And when you meet a cute girl, you can actually hold her attention and interest and feel fulfilled after the honeymoon stage wears off, and you don't just conjure up questions like "so how long is she gonna last with this foreign play-thing?" when you visit her friends and family. And you stop feeling like a fucking outsider all the time.

Your post is the same bullshit I told myself when I moved abroad and didn't actually want to put much effort into learning the language. It won't get you as far as you think.

Full immersion is obviously a huge booster to fluency by a mix of opportunity (you're basically learning and practicing all the time) and necessity (you want to navigate the country without being stuck to a dictionary or translation application).

As long as you have a working basis and don't hang out too much with expats from your own country / first language (it's obviously comfortable and easy to slip into an insular community) even 3~6 months will do absolute wonders.
