It's also entirely possible that the company could have worked to retain the employee. This happens all the time. The only time it matters is if the employee quits on the spot or was given notice of termination. Notice of intent to quit is not quitting.

I've in fact quit a company in Massachusetts before when I was younger because I was falsely accused of theft. They provided me unemployment which I refused on principle. Turned out the manager who accused me was the one stealing. Karma paid her a visit in that she was stabbed during a robbery on the shift she had to cover because of me leaving (she was fine with stitches). After this is when she was caught. So fun times all around.
“There is a huge difference between the guns of a sportsman or homeowner and high-powered assault weapons with 100-cartridge magazines, I grew up around guns and gun owners, and I will work to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens. But the law must reflect the reality that, in the wrong hands, guns can be used for violent crimes, disrupting communities and making families and neighborhoods less safe.” - Elizabeth Warren [1]

This seems like a perfectly reasonable thing for someone to say about gun control. It doesn't sound like she is trying to criminalize your possessions unless you already have a criminal record and/or possess a tool of mass murder. Although I guess there is potential her position has changed since that was from her Senate run in 2012. I couldn't find anything specific about gun control yet on her 2020 site.

> Nobody start "the decade" in the 1 year.

wow rude, I do. I think the 60s started 1961-01-01 and understand that people usually mean "the years that give a quotient of 196 when divided by 10".

I understand that we use ordinals to refer to centuries, also I understand how that's unrelated to which specific years are in a decade/century/millennium

fun fact the Australian constitution came into force on the 1st of January, 1901, aligning with the starting boundary of the 20th century.
ETA is owned by Swatch group, which owns a ton of watch brands[1], including Hamilton, which I would say competes head-to-head with the most Timex pieces (at least in the $500 price range).

There are other Swiss automatic movement makers though, like Sellita (the SW200 is basically an ETA 2824[2]).

The only way to get hired at competitive companies is via referral - if you live in the Bay Area you probably know someone or know someone who knows someone at Netflix.

Trying any other way is a lottery - and if you didn’t go to MIT/Stanford/CalTech/Harvard then your odds are pretty bad.

The other way is already working at a famous company and having another famous company send you a recruitment email via linked in, but that typically requires you to have done the referral way first.
I find precisely the opposite, that as a project gains (and loses, and gains again) maintainers, the indirection and mental overhead that DI frameworks necessarily bring to the table vastly outweigh whatever perceived benefit there was in introducing them.

Conversely, a declarative, step-wise func main, with components manually constructed and passed to each other as dependencies where necessary, is sometimes tedious, but never confusing, and always refreshingly easy to maintain, no matter how much time you've spent with the project.
Important to you, not to me.
Simplistic answer but it is that simple: just don't do that.
Rust is merely the latest in a long line of efforts in that direction. It may have located a particularly nice point in the cost/benefits space, and the borrow semantics I believe are novel, but it's well inline with many efforts to make compile time errors out of as many things as possible, from a lot of C++ stuff, Ada, Eiffel, Haskell, a variety of proof methods, the list goes on, and even the things I list are themselves exemplars of entire streams of thought on the idea rather than a complete list, of course.

(This is not a criticism of Rust. It is not a criticism of a work to place it correctly in its historical context. Very few things consist entirely of novel ideas, and very few of those are any good, if any.)
Maturity is not necessarily a good trait in an employee. Companies hire recent grads specifically because they are immature and will be easier to manipulate. And conversely, companies are often wary of older, mature candidates because such employees won't be easy to manipulate and exploit.

Also, mature people usually come to the conclusion that working a job for someone is pretty sucky way to live, and will either come to terms with it, which often leads to trying to get as little done for as much money as possible (i.e. getting a good deal), or will want to go independent, which will make them unhappy while they're employed. These issues are usually non-existent in the graduate crowd, as they are just amazed that someone is treating them as adults, giving them responsibility and paying for completion of tasks.

> to work for Uber, you must have a car

This is the same as for regular taxi work (there are various arrangements, but in most cases drivers end up paying for their vehicle one way or another). In fact, Uber lowered requirements since you don't need a specific type of cars (like UK cabs) or paint jobs/registrations (in most countries). And that's why it got popular: it lowered standards even further, in a sector already predominantly staffed by the worse-off.

> My personal experience with Uber drivers [...] also does not match the description

Of course; they want your five stars, they'll all try to look and sound happy and successful - not unlike many entrepreneurs.

The author makes several mistakes:

1. "I still read and read and listen and listen. And I have never found a more compelling story of our origins than the ones that involve God." This is an esthetic judgement, and is therefore beyond criticism. But it doesn't hold for everyone. You find creationism beautiful? Great. Teach it in an art elective.

2. " I guess I don’t “believe” that the world was created in a few days, but what do I know? Seems as plausible (to me) as theoretical astrophysics..." The author doesn't particularly understand a theory, therefore the author throws out the theory. I believe this is the famed "Argument from Ignorance". Please, please, please don't push your ignorance on me.

3. The author spends two paragraphs describing how science, after collecting more evidence, changes conclusions. Shocking, I know, that when you gain knowledge, your conclusions change. Creationism doesn't change, and can't change, and so eliminates the author's confusion. A fancier, longer way of saying "God did it, so I don't have to think". That's fine. I would be embarassed to admit in public that further evidence can't change my mind.

These kinds of articles about rejecting up-to-date conclusions in favor of some kind of homespun ignorance annoy me to no end. The subtext is that everyone should go on believing what they were taught as children by authorities. I suppose that's whay corporations like Yahoo run them: Yahoo is in the business of being an authority that tells you what to believe. If your belief changes with further evidence, Yahoo just might be out of a job.

Is this a reference to the consent decree? Microsoft wasn't actually broken up, not that I recall. Nor did the consent decree permit Google to emerge - it was emerging anyway, and before the consent decree.

What are they actually talking about here?
Thanks for addressing the point!

Just to be clear, I'm not accusing Gitlab of doing this, just using Gitlab as an example of what could be happening! :)
In Massachusetts you automatically get unemployed benefits unless the employer files paperwork for termination due to cause. The de facto assumption is that the employee will receive unemployment benefits up until the date that those benefits are exhausted. The only way that this stopped was if the employer started that the employee quit or that they were terminated for cause, neither of which sounds true in this case as terminating someone for an intention to quit is not cause. Obviously IANAL but as far as I can tell the employee is entitled to unemployment benefits.

> Python is in fact a type safe language for a while now

I like the idea of type annotators but they do not make it a type safe language because types are not checked and they are more like comments.

Python will remain a dynamically typed language, and the authors have no desire to ever make type hints mandatory, even by convention.[1]

WebAuthn can use the TPM chip in smartphones. It works the same as a discrete hardware WebAuthn token: the key material is generated on the chip, and never leaves it. The smartphone OS can't access the key on the TPM either, only use it cryptographically to prove possession of the key.

You can test it right now with any recent Android smartphone with TPM chip:

https://webauthn.io/

Apple will eventually join the club too once they stop dragging their feet.

Of course with the TPM you effectively have a hardware token permantently physically linked to your smartphone, so it changes the security analysis a bit.

For users this means that WebAuthn for accessing websites on a TPM-capable smartphone is really just a matter of unlocking the device when prompted. Quite user friendly.

Could you ask them on what visa they moved to the U.S.? I know a few French people in New York. But they're on J-1 visas -- which are very short in duration (~1 year), and truly temporary -- you are required to have plans to return to your "home country" after that period. It offers no practical path towards permanent residence.

The only visas that don't prohibit immigrant intent (i.e. desire to immigrate + company applying for permanent residence for you) are the H-1B visa, L-1 visa, and O-1 visa. For anyone looking to permanently move the U.S. on the basis of skills, those are the only options. (I didn't mention the L-1 and O-1 in my comment above because they're even more narrowly granted.)

> only of of them is technically better

Technical skill doesn't really matter with the H-1B visa; only salary really does. Even going to a top university doesn't mean anything. The lottery doesn't discriminate.

There are foreign students who graduate from the best universities in the U.S. like Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc, often with advanced degrees (Master's / PhD), with good high-paying jobs, who get deported from the US because they did not win the H-1B lottery.

The Harvard Crimson complained about this even back in 2007: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2007/4/9/raise-the-h-1b-c...

Dark Matter Scientists Observe the Rarest Event in History
The calculus for determining whether an indication is worth pursuing is probably determined more by 1) potential pricing and 2) translational risk than by total number of patients, tax incentives or added exclusivity, although shorter clin development requirements are hugely important

If the translational risk is high (i.e. what works in mice / other disease models prob won't work in humans), the probability of success approaches zero. So the expected value approaches zero. It doesn't matter how many patients there are, the magnitude of the unmet need or how nice the molecule is if it isn't effective.

With a high enough price, you can get a billion-dollar drug from a few hundred patients. Avexis, which was acquired by Novartis for $8.7B, had a lead drug targeting Type 1 SMA, which has only a few hundred patients worldwide. If they charge $2M / patient (which they might) it only takes 500 patients for $1B annual revenue. Of course they were pursuing other indications, had other development projects and had valuable manufacturing assets so the $9B wasn't all for that one indication, but a lot of it was

And while $2M is prob high, the reason they can get away with even tossing out prices like that is that their drug is a potential cure for a disease that kills 90% of affected infants before 2 years of age. potential cure in that it has only been studied in a few dozen patients (thanks to ORphan drug act shorter cook studies) and that patients haven't been followed more than a few years, so who knows how durable the treatment is

Is a medicine that adds 70 years to someone's life worth $2M? What about 40 years? 10? 5? Hard to know.
I think you have that backwards.

I feel like OOP, Agile, "cloud" as a concept, and cryptocurrency/blockchains are not computer science topics.

The way in which blockchains are implemented, sure, that's math, applied as cryptography, applied to achieve distributed consensus, which is very much computer science. But you specifically mention crypto scams, which is much more applying the general concept of distributed consensus to different areas, and I think that's where it jumps out of the realm of computer science.

Maybe a better label for the "best practices" for the application of computer science is "software development". I think that, as an area of instruction, is more inherently subjective.
Interesting, sounds a bit like the way write-barriers made the combination of copying garbage collectors and direct object pointers feasible.

I don't think that's always true. I found "gifted" programs much less isolating that regular school. I was lucky enough to participate in some summer academic programs, and while I still had a lot of social difficulty, at least there was a feedback loop where people would engage with what I was saying and I could evaluate and adjust my behavior according to people's reactions. I remember gaining a lot of social confidence in those summer programs and going back home and starting the school year thinking, I'm finally catching on, I've learned how to engage in this back-and-forth where I interact with people and watch their reactions to me, I've learned how to learn, only to go right back to being isolated and mystified in school, unable to see a relationship between my behavior towards people and their behavior back towards me.

For me, I needed to have a little bit more in common with my peers before I could even get traction socially. In fact, it might have been a net negative for me to be surrounded by other kids and cut off from them at the same time, because it messed with my confidence so badly. In the long run it is proving harder to unlearn the bad habits that stemmed from that than it was to learn basic social skills when I got the chance.
