This will sound odd, but hear me out: assuming that whichever way you choose, it will be wrong, which would you choose? If you quit this job to pursue your side project, and that doesn't pan out, will you forever regret having given up this job? Or, if you don't quit this job, will you forever hate your career because part of you is wondering what would have happened if you just "went for it"?

Figure out which mistake would be less crushing, and do that one. If it happens to actually work out, great. If not, at least you won't be spending the rest of your life regretting.

By the way, for reasons I won't speculate on, this method (assume failure, which would you pick) turns out to be a pretty good way of picking the option more likely to succeed, actually. But assume you won't succeed no matter what, and use that scenario to decide which way to go.
6 months. General advice is always n months, however that advice is so generic as to be meaningless.
Move closer to work so that your 45 minute one way commute is cut to 15 minutes. If you also shift your workout to your lunchtime you will have ~2 hours to work on your own projects. If no one at your work seems to notice your midday workout routine then start leaving an hour early as well.

Are you now implying that Huawei is lying about them being documents to cover up what they were actually shipping or something?

(I genuinely can't tell if this is a joke or not)
You never did, but they did. I don't know why it was more repulsive for you, but without knowing the difference between you and them, it doesn't seem like something that can be relied upon.
selling insurance to buy insurance defeats the point, ATM options only pay for expected moves so you have no protection gain with your strategy
thanks to the bland taste of these factory-produced chicken, plant-based meat alternatives become more viable as an alternative. In asian dishes I started to replace chicken with seitan, the differences are too small to notice https://avocadosandales.com/2017/12/17/chickwheat-shreds/
How is paying 8k more for taxes but 10k less on insurance or education not a win? Yeah you have higher taxes cry me a river your out of pocket spending is less.

In Roosevelt's day anyone earning 1 million + was taxed at 95%. Basically meaning all their money went back to the state. It encouraged them to spend it on business and grow their business holdings.

The big wins come in having a single-payer for health who can say : No we will not pay $35 to hospitals for a single ibuprofen, stop gouging prices. Or we will not pay more than $x for insulin - don't like it? We'll end your patent term for non-generics early so prices CAN go down.

It's that collective bargaining combined WITH the end of insurance salaries. More money is free'd up for hospitals, and if we can make the system tech-streamlined, we could save even more. The more we automate the entire stack the better for the entire billing/management of funds to drs/hospitals.
The vitamin most likely is a placebo anyway, for example if you read Tim Spector's research he did tests on most of the generic multivitamins and found many of the ingredients weren't absorbed as advertised, the only guaranteed method was to get a doctor to inject a vitamin to make up for some b-vitamin variant deficiencies.

You can always go pay a clinic to do blood work on you before and after you stop taking vitamins, and reveal your nutrition levels if you're interested
Yes, quit your job.
My guess would be that most of the cost is creating the JS objects and the parsing is a relatively small part of the cost, so optimizing it would not help much.
Yeah. It was a bit tiring, but also fun. I think it helped that we all liked each other.
No, don't quit your job.
Given a certain density of satellites there must be a crossover point where avoiding detection is either more cost prohibitive than just retooling to avoiding emissions, and/or where emitters will be offline so much to avoid detection that they’ll essentially be cutting their emissions by shutting down anyway.

As are AMD's newest announcements of Navi & Intel-smacking performance- they could probably lean over this way and jostle things around quite a bit if they wanted to.
Suppose someone has collected data on my groceries. They now know I buy a lot of red meat, and may then figure I must be eating a lot of red meat. Suppose my insurance rates now go up.

Okay I hear you saying “well maybe your rates should go up if you eat a lot of red meat. You’re costing everyone else a lot of money.” I’d say you have some highly misguided morals, and I’d say that such a scheme would never lead to savings for people who don’t eat red meat, but almost surely additional costs for those who do. The thing to remember is these schemes never, ever benefit you. They make other people money, generally at your expense.

Is the a complete list of the index funds somewhere?
There is an equilibrium point between indexed and non-indexed portfolios in terms of optimizing expected returns. Capital will move to whatever portfolio type is giving the best returns if too much of the market is composed of one or the other. More money moving into indexing makes it easier to outperform the index because there are fewer investors competing to profit from mis-priced equities, making those positions cheaper to acquire. Anecdotally, I find it easier to outperform the indexes today than it was fifteen years ago.

Even if the entire market is indexing, there are still fundamental mechanisms that will keep it responsive. Markets are indexed in many ways depending on what aspect of the market the indexes are trying to capture, and these different indexes weight and value the underlying stocks differently, with some indexes outperforming others which will drive allocation of capital to different indexes. And at the extremes, over-valuation is addressed by bankruptcy and under-valuation is addressed by taking a company private, removing companies from the market entirely.

True, but there's a reason the "if 12 men of good standing trust their friend is a good man, he surely can't be guilty" approach to selecting jurors based on their claimed knowledge of the facts went the way of trial by combat and seeing whether witches float...
My comments so far have been very tongue in cheek, I must admit.

To me, it appears as a Chinese way of saying they are are as much at the mercy of US logistics as the Western World is at the mercy of Huawei's logistics ( 5G ).

edit: even it when it is not true, the message comes across.
Oh yes, Red Means Recording. Long time fan. :)
Having done logistics this happens all the time in international parcels. I saw 0.5% of parcels have some massively weird routing error to countries that made no sense.

If this had been a us govt request they wouldn’t have scanned the packages at the sorting facilities in the US!
AvE. My favorite Canadian redneck destroying tools, arduinos, household gadgets, and political correctness.
So many US corporations are sacrificing potential billions in global comsumer confidence and flat-out revenue loss backing the “trade war”. What assurances are they getting which makes them willing to take the leap, I wonder?

At the end of the day any losses have to be explained to sharebolders, regadless of political loyalties.

From Here to There: Video Inbetweening Using Direct 3D Convolutions
Found the discourse about Executive Function in this article very interesting. I want to understand this further.
Hanlon's razor applies here. If there was truly something nefarious going on, why would FedEx update the tracking status to say that the packages were re-routed? Why not just say they were held up in the sending or receiving country?
Yep this is how the VC Ponzi scheme works. Take a business that can absorb enormous amounts of capital by selling a dollar for 75c, bloat it to the moon, then offload onto the index funds. Repeat.

ISP's make money with the data they gather. Once you remove that as a revenue stream, it'll naturally increase the prices those companies are willing to charge.
There are so many layers of post production on these photos I'd barely call them photographs any more. Especially the flares around the lights: no distortion even on the edges, all of them look uniform, even if they come from different light sources...

That said, kudos for the patience, it takes a long while to acquire the source material.

I really hope any US Commerce dept plans against Huawei completely backfire. Imagine in two years if Huawei has a stable, strong alternative to Android that takes over the Asian markets and even gets imported by American enthusiasts through 3rd party channels. I'd like to see someone break the Apple/Google dual-olopy.
Another backstory is that huwai has long believed to be backdoring to chinese intel just as cisco has since the mid 90s...

We arrested their cfo in canada and have been on attack with them since.

The actual question is - the US has been doing this against them for quite some time now Mr smith.

So...

Did huwai just realize, or do they have enough anomalous tracking that they are leaking public to measure reaction.

Look, dont be a fool - WWIII - as Einstein stated, is not nuclear, its informational - and we are in the midst;

Echelon <— nobody believed this existed in the 80s and 90s

Carnivore <— att guy went to jail for revealing this

Stuxnet <— israel fucked that one up

Duqu <— scary that this dropped off the map

PRISM <— one of many of the trackers

Lots more: too many.

I tend to agree with the first half... Maybe I'm a bit tin-foil, but I feel like if intelligence was involved they'd just intercept it en route, and wouldn't bother sending it all the way back to the US, especially in a trackable way for that matter...
How would that work? I can’t see how the surveillance software would distinguish a benign message from a malign one. For example ”you’re so cool” could be either a compliment or an insult, depending on the context.
I have no experience in building a business, but some years ago I was in a quite similar situation - working a draining, non-fulfilling job where I felt stuck.

Quitting and subsequently going on a 4 month motorcycle trip through Central Asia now feels like one of the best decisions of my life.

You are young, well educated, unhappy and working at the same company since you are 24. If your endeavor does not work out, you have will probably have a good chance of finding a decent new job.
I believe that subjecting yourself to a new environment and new challenges from time to time reinvigorates your life and make you a happier person.
If possible, switch companies. I supposedly work for that same company as you for 1.5y now and it's a nightmare compared to the companies I worked for before that.
I only stay because of exceptional salary and the fact that switching involves moving again. But it destroys my health and my life. As soon as I get promoted the next time I'm done with it.
Interesting.. I did not know that. My googling shows that there has been an announcement with an intention to adopt cmake (~ 2 years ago)

http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/CMake-Announcement-from-B...

It appears further discussions are underway, but I don't know what that means in terms of how quickly they will switch.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/boost-steering/5ifzu...

In terms of bjam vs. cmake... I get why the boost library has needed a custom build tool chain (if you're curious just look at the complexity in headers in trying to work around various template bugs in different compiler versions, or the many many many ways to request naming of the generated libraries). I should have been less snarky in my first post. If boost does migrate to cmake I predict it will be quite a gnarly set of cmake logic.
“Investigation takes time”
They have been “investigating” for a decade. It’s simply spy vs spy & that's it. If that sounds skeptical, fine. Nothing wrong with with skepticism. It’s healthy.
I find that adding the mandatory comments everywhere ensures that you won't forget to add that extra line of information when it does make sense. It's a good habit, like looking over your shoulder before switching lanes even when you know there's nobody there.
But it's only debt if business decisions mean you must change it. I've seen far too many programmers crawl through legacy code that need not be replaced (it does its job) merely because it's using an outdated technology. But if there's no business justification for that, I'd argue it's not debt at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with some ugly COBOL code doing its job with no current need for modification. That's not debt. Debt is something you have to pay back.

There are GUI tools for that. Maybe the author felt there's a niche for people that don't want to install random stuff from the Internet.
When you put it like that, I agree, however America is abandoning its leadership responsibilities and somebody has to fill the void. What's the alternative? BRICS?
Yes they certainly are.
Dunno about Huawei, but I’ve definitely sent door keys and thin EEPROM programmers as « documents » to save on shipping costs.

They tend to have fewer customs issues too since they go through a separate stream in a lot of countries.
I am going on a trip with my girlfriend, and while looking at her Google Maps, I saw that it had marked the hotel we were staying at along with the dates we would be there. Right there next to the hotel marker. Impressive, really.

I don't like that sort of thing because you can't depend on it. Even if you had the perfect workflow for it, what about any hotel booking you have that doesn't send an email for Gmail to parse, or Gmail can't parse it? Just seems like an annoyingly probabilistic system. Aside from the obvious issues of privacy and creepiness, like how did Google Maps get information that was supposedly just between me and the hotel?

But my girlfriend absolutely loved it. She just wished it also showed us our bus route and schedule like it apparently sometimes does for her.
> You seem to be aggrieved with it, can I ask why?

I think I was very clear as to why: the article heavily implies Arab-European relations were that of one-sided colonization by Europeans, when in fact, until very recently, the opposite was the case. This would be understandable if it had limited itself to more recent history, but as it stands, I consider it lying by omission.
This happens with some lenses at long exposures. There's not much done to these outside of the odd comp, but mainly a 'HDR' style grading. Good stuff, and relatively simple. Just looks intense!
I found my first “real” job very draining in the same way you described. And for a while I thought that I just wasn’t motivated by anything.

I quit. My first 2 companies failed but I have never felt unmotivated since (13 years later).

Your experiences might wary.
Actually before Bernie even lost in 2016, I had an inkling he'd lose, so would Clinton, Trump would be a lame duck with enough power to upset a lot of people including a lot of Republicans, but the biggest power he has is stirring up the rest of the country to give a shit. I also predicted a progressive would be president in 2020 - verdict is still out on that but it's never been more likely in my 39 years.

Trump is like a natural Reichstagg fire to kick us in the ass and start looking inward and making changes. I'm optimistic that in the next 10 years many of these programs will be implemented (especially as automation picks up and jobs start disappearing by millions).
I published this work in CHI on the use of multiarmed bandits in educational games. My biggest takeaway was the importance of choosing the right metric -- because our optimization worked too well.

The asurance that their company won't be shut down for violating a federal embargo?
They make more than enough money by providing the Internet service. They should have nothing to do with your data. Especially considering, how easily they can spy on you. It's like your post office delivery would charge you more, if they'll not sniff through your mail. This thing shouldn't even come up as a "feature", it should be the always enabled default.
> but also has the disadvantage of requiring an initial capital expenditure.

It's a good augment their for electric companies to be the ones finance residential heat pumps and be able to count the installation as an asset.

> Adding higher nighttime electrical costs on top of that would not be helpful.

Higher nighttime costs would be definitely an issue with residential heat pumps.
In practice, MAB should require less traffic than an A/B test for the same level of significance. Although it's much more difficult to rigorously describe that significance level with a MAB.
An important topic that warrants a lot more discussion, but the article is a bit shallow.

Ambition is connected to power but not identical. Power is often about power over people, but not always. Some people want to be free and some don't (at least in some contexts).

Freedom is closely tied to understanding, but the world is so complex now, how can we understand? We are all like an 8-year-old king surrounded by a bunch of people who also don't really understand the world.

Freedom is also a source of identity in the US. Could it be used to bring people back together here?
If you host your own Wordpress site, and use it to publish illegal content, then you are criminally responsible. Facebook have immunity from being held liable for the content published on their platform granted by the telecommunications decency act:

>No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

The party who publishes the content is liable, not the service that distributes it.

Often not discussed when this law comes up, is that it has a Good Samaritan clause:

>any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected

The question is whether Facebook, etc... are publishers of content, or mere distributors of content that others publish. Facebook will tell you that they are distributors of content. Their opponents will tell you that the editorial control they exert over their platforms is beyond the scope of the Good Samaritan clause of the law.
No, it does not happen like this. Happens with _some_ light source, from _some_ angles. Barely ever on the edge of the lens and never without distortion there.
Sure, but sometimes things are not that easy. Have you tried using mozjpeg ? You need to download, compile and install mozjpeg. Atleast for my platform. And sometimes you need the exact set of configure flags or build flags. Still you won't use a browser tool which does it for you ?
Go can live on if Google collapses, the same cannot be said for most teams at most companies.
That's not an "existential threat". No European state bothered to care about that piracy until Sweden and the US in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_Wars . The bigger states were evidently happy to pay the tribute—this is cost cutting not defense.
i find it hard to believe any intelligence service would a.) literally reroute the package, instead of having some field agents in the origin country deal with it, b.) not suppress revealing the actual route on the fedex tracking website.
Does it make it more legal for those companies to spy on those kids?
The computer doesn’t duplicate proximity? So hyperlinks and search engines don’t add more utility to the system than the utility lost by unused library stacks?

The proximity was nice, but mostly proximity of same category topics. That is mostly replaceable if someone makes a search engine on books, perhaps with a Dewey decimal number mode.

Also consider that developed cities and thus universities are becoming more and more crowded. Study space is at a premium. The unused stacks should be kept mostly as wall dividers between new study cubicles, so that the new students have enough places to study. I think overall the utility increase is much higher
> The sanest people, I think, are those happily unafflicted with ambition — whether for power, wealth, fame or achievement — who want only to work at some useful job, to love someone and to live in a nice place with some wind chimes on the porch.

The passage above reminded me of this:

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbour -- such is my idea of happiness. And then, on the top of all that, you for a mate, and children perhaps -- what more can the heart of man desire?¹

The author has completely missed the point of Apollo and GraphQL query collocation. Having the query definition in the same place as the rendering avoids over or under fetching.

With a single `getMe` function how will they differentiate between use cases with different requirements? You either end up with REST style massive payloads, or have some kind of configuration that mimics GraphQL queries.

Their "DRY" example also omits any integration with React. Add in error handling, loading states and persistence of data and all of a sudden the code is very un-DRY.
