every billionaire is a criminal sociopath?
> am I missing something about how you were asked as a juror to consider that sentence?

It was probably asked during the "voir dire" phase; that's where if you actually perform jury duty and have to go down to the court, your group might be called in to sit for "voir dire", where the lawyers for each side (prosecution and defendant) ask each potential jury member certain questions regarding the case.

The questions are meant to allow the lawyers to pick from the group a pool of jurors - those that make it through voir dire perform the actual jury duty of being the jury. Those who don't, go home.

And if you ever want to never serve on a jury, or never be called again for jury duty, mention that you support FIJA or the concept of a "fully informed jury".

It's like a poison pill for ever serving on a jury again, but usually, if you are anything like a software engineer or similar (which they do ask your profession in voir dire), they will generally skip you (they really, really don't want anyone with that kind of mindset of extreme logic, reasoning, rationality, process flow, etc).

But if you mention FIJA - there's a chance they'll not only let you go, plus strike you from the "call list" - but that any other potential juror in the room will get the same treatment.

FIJA is not against the law. It's your right as a citizen to understand and be "fully informed", but the courts (or our justice system) have made it so that most people aren't (for instance, most people don't know or understand anything about "jury nullification", and the system plays to this ignorance). They will say such things prior to the jury leaving to decide the case that the jury can only consider the "guilty or not guilty" according to the law, etc - which is a complete lie. A juror or jury can decide "not guilty" even if it is clear that the law was broken, if they feel the law is unjust. But they don't want you to know that you can do that as a juror or jury. So they don't "fully inform" you of that option.

If you really want to get them into a tizzy, print out 500 business cards with the FIJA info on them, and put them on cars in the parking lots around the courthouse...note that you might need a permit for this, or they might have made it "illegal" to do this to cars around a courthouse (it might be considered jury tampering or something - amazing that by informing people of their rights as a juror and citizen, that would be considered "tampering"...), so understand that, too.
dividendfinance.com | Software Engineer (all levels) | FULL-TIME | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE/REMOTE | commensurate with experience

I am the VP of Software Development at Dividend Finance. We need Clojure/Clojurescript developers to help us build a suite of applications including a web app for solar installers, back office web app to manage originations and installation, an API for solar installers to use to finance their projects. We are using Clojurescript (Re-frame based) for the front end, and Clojure on server side. Our mission is to maximize solar energy usage with a frictionless financing process. We have over 1000 installers signed up and have financed 20,000+ installations. I encourage you to apply if you are motivated to learn Clojure but have never worked full time with it.

Our stack includes a Clojure web app with Clojurescript, Heroku, Postgresql, Github, Box, Docusign, Salesforce. We have a small team so you will have a big impact and get the opportunity to wear a lot of hats. You will be responsible for influencing our tools and processes in addition to delivering features. We are located on California @ Sansome, close to Montgomery BART.

You would join a team of ~10 developers (2 remote) that are split in to 3 teams. Our development process is very collaborative with our product team along with the developers, so communication skills are important. Successful developers are eager to learn the business domain and have a hand in the design and implementation of features, not just programming to a specification.

But the ratio is like 10-100:1 for individual contributor vs manager, so the competition for a few spots on the IC ladder is much tougher than on the management ladder. That's why so many FANG employees are frustrated without any progress inside as they compete against some of the best engineers, but management is more leaky as assessing quality is not so clearly measurable/comparable.

NASA doesn't make $2.5 billion a year from sponsors and ads like the Olympics is planning to. They're not even allowed to.

Brindenstine has talked about having corporations sponsor missions before (e.g. the Doritos® ISS Crew Resupply Mission or the Mars Candy Company Rover). However there hasn't been much movement on that front, and I doubt that NASA's sponsorships would be as profitable. Imagine if IBM sponsors a rocket that self destructs after a computer glitch— it would be awkward for them and not good marketing for Watson.

The Olympics are also planning on making a billion dollars or so from ticket sales. I think NASA charges $50 or so for tickets to watch a launch at the cape. At the Olympics, some tickets may be that cheap or cheaper (e.g. the Slovenia vs South Sudan handball match, no offense to either of those countries). However tickets for more popular events like the opening ceremonies are going to exceed $1000.

The Olympics also has more events within a single year than NASA. There may be a few dozen launches a year, and they're hard to sell tickets for since most launch attempts get scrubbed/rescheduled at least once and they're not always in accessible locations. Meanwhile, the Olympics will have hundreds of events and you can be reasonably confident that they will happen on the same day that's on your ticket.
+1 Make that part of the deal. We only need 2 items, but you will produce 4. We will then randomly pick 2 of them for testing, and then and only then if those 2 pass will we actually use the remaining 2 as needed.

This happens all the time in construction of multistory buildings. When the floors of concrete are poured, they also produce smaller sections of concrete from the same batches. As the concrete cures, it's strength is tested. This ensures that the concrete can support the weight designated in the plans. Better to watch a test pour fail than the building collapsing when cheap concrete fails under load.

[edit] oops, just read comments later in the thread stating the same thing
Really glad to hear you're working on this problem. I've done a bit of grooming medical imaging datasets for AI projects. A big chunk of time is spent working on pipelines to properly de-identify the images. Everything from PHI hidden deep in the dicom headers to patient name burned into the image by the scanner or some workstation that opened it. How are you dealing with those challenges?
The article is about financial math side that is the issue.

Don't drink coffee. I'm much more functional in the mornings since giving up caffeine. The mechanism by which your body acclimatises to a new baseline of caffeine is known -- you're inflicting those hard mornings on yourself. (And if you're not going to be correspondingly earlier in the night -- consider giving your brain the sleep it is telling you it needs. There's little to no evidence that you can train your mind to be high-performing while short-changing it on sleep. On the contrary, plenty of evidence exists that you perform worse when you under-sleep, but you also lose the ability to notice you're performing worse. Your sleep dep is moving you to a worse place in Dunning-Kruger space)

Japan is a really weird country, on one hand it's the safest country, on the other it has old laws / weird mentality about some modern concepts for society, ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_child_abduction_...
I'm sure it's in the works. If not by Valve, then some other company.
The article stops just as it was getting going. I can't help but feel like this was deliberate and for the purpose of selling Deep Work.
Tesla has gone ~15x since IPO. Unlike virtually every other tech-related IPO, it was possible for retail investors to invest in a risky, growth-oriented company. They IPO'ed at a 2.2B cap, meanwhile all major tech-related IPOs seem to be about 10B.

If you're a retail investor looking for high risk/high reward stocks, Tesla was a rare exception. In most other cases, only large funds have access to growth companies like that. I'd like to see more IPOs like Tesla's, rather than reserving wealth growth only for those with tons of money.

In short, if you're not interested in taking advantage of an option, don't assume other people think the same way.

Also, the robotaxi is not some zany idea Musk randomly came up. It's been publicly on their website for 3 years now and in their internal road maps for long before that: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/master-plan-part-deux

It's really bizarre to see the constant condemnation of Musk, because he chooses to have an ambitions long-term plan and follow through with it.
Not going to actually.

The Merriam-Webster definition above is weak.

One discussion around torture with my philosophy professor (thankfully the french engineering cursus has one or two interesting classes) really stuck to my mind. We were discussing a text where a french general that had practiced torture in Algerie. He said something that amounts to "I have asked my soldiers to electrocute me so I could see how it feels like, it is not that bad so I felt ok about using it on algerians". It misses the whole point of torture : that you totally lose control, which is where the agony comes from. Anecdotally, I have also been briefly electrocuted by accident once. The pain was indeed not that bad.

But I have not been tied to a chair and subjected to somebody electrocuting me for as long as they like.

This kind of repeated pain is what is impossible to resist to for very long. Not to mention that any sensation can be used that way, tickling is also a form of torture.

So I can see why you can construct that forcing somebody to answer questions, possible very hard ones about somebody close to them that just died, can also be a form of torture.

> Are you mostly referring to companies in a specific country, or multinationals?

Mostly multinationals and US based companies.
Interesting historical note: the Puritans, also known for being extremely hard working, pointed out the monks had correctly identified the problem but misidentified the solution.
The hullabaloo over "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" goes a long way to explaining how health-care used to work in the US. Most simply it was a free market and free markets work.

In more detail: Independent doctors (and their staff) functioned as buyers' agents would refer patients to specialists. "Doctor-Patient Relationship" and "Referrals" were the two main components of the system. Knowing that DR. JONES referred PATIENT SMITH to them, the specialist would treat PATIENT SMITH well and charge a reasonable amount.

It was unfortunate in that you had to "get in" to the system by finding a good doctor. It was (and more now than ever is) hard to "find a good doctor." Most are no longer accepting new patients, but it served all those parties. Doctors would have repeat customers. It'd reduce their work of learning new patients. Etc.

Without such a family doctor, you would go to a provider without a referral. The provider would then know it could gouge you without risking a referral relationship.

However this system was sub-optimal for insurance company profits and large scale providers. Which is exactly who pushed Obamacare, and lead to the break-up of so many of these relationships.

As background, Health Insurance has lists of "approved providers" which they carefully curate. The most straightforward method of breaking up relationships is to exclude providers. They also put these "good doctors" (from the patients' perspective) into plans with expensive premiums. They also churn. By raising prices selectively between plans with different providers insurance companies can encourage patients to "try out" a new doctor this year. They also churn provider lists.

This means Insurance companies are now a more powerful source of referrals. They also prefer institutional providers. Between both of that, fewer providers care about where their patients are coming from. The patients often don't have much choice where they go (one of 9 different locations of the same conglomerate) and don't know enough to make an informed decision anyway (as their family doctor used to do for them).

All of this is brought about by the individual mandate. It's not a free market if you're not free to abstain. By being forced in, cash buyers became a smaller segment of the market. Cash buyers were the very people holding it all together by selecting doctors of their choosing and forming these relationships. With these doctors going out of business (largely retirement) and being replaced by institutional providers it's just getting worse.

The reason that a monorepo facilitates this kind of bit-rot is because of one of the advantages of the monorepo setup: that it also facilitates easily making connections between different parts of the codebase. In a multi-repo setup, you need to be intentional about when and how you pull in another repo, because the bar to doing so is so high. In a monorepo, every piece of every part of the code is available to you and no extra action is required to "pull in" that other repo, which means in practice that without tooling or discipline you end up with a codebase with lots of tight interconnections.

So the reason it happens in a monorepo more is that those connections are easier to make and therefore a lot more common, not because those connections are impossible in a multi-repo setup.
Would you kindly provide evidence to the contrary and not just to what Bjorn has done but also the USDA?

And no, it is nothing like Fisher's contrarianism to the smoking issue. Both links acknowledged that the current global diet has an impact on CI, but tries to find the most likely size of the effect.

I ask because the science and evidence behind this stuff is complicated, and much of what is being said has a huge element of alarmism. I don't doubt that our current diets have impacts on CI, but I would like to see thoughtful analysis determining the effects. I'm sincerely asking this in good faith
I think you missed the point. The "company" can plead anything you want to because noone has ever put a "company" behind the bars. "Companies" are fictitious entities.

> Its still a highly unsafe thing to do.

You are correct. However sometimes activists choose to risk their personal well-being to bring attention to issues or to make their point. I wouldn't worry about this becoming a normal thing.

The concerns you raise are about the practicality of this stunt. However the practicality of it is irrelevant to the purpose and not the point.
