I'm intrigued by the idea of simply not having a phone number, but it doesn't seem like we've reached that era yet. My grandparents would have no way of contacting me, nor the doctor's office or any number of other businesses.

But it's still a nice dream.
I'd still argue that's quite local. In most Spanish supermarkets, stuff tended to be local or from nearby EU countries. Although now things are degrading.

My favorite UK supermarket sells organic pine kernels from China, at a ridiculously high price. That's not local, nor pine kernels are typical produce from China. It's just seeking high margins.
In the EU, there are lots of tags that guarantee product safety

Like all those EU-compliant logos on the 1TB SDXC cards that sell for €10? Totally legit.

If you are a top talent there really is no upside of joining a startup anymore - even as a founder. It's terribly depressing.

FAANG pays orders of magnitudes better, has better benefits, has flexible work locations and schedules, is working on the most leading edge stuff (autonomous everything, AR, VR, GreenTech etc...) contributes to FOSS, gives leadership opportunities etc...

I'm not sure when this shift happened, but I do remember the tipping point in 2016 when Apple recruited the best PhD away from my company after 6 tries and gave him a 3x pay raise (400k/yr - what startup can afford that for one person?), with the ability to work on self-driving cars.

I'm not sure how it would be possible to compete with that, and don't blame him for leaving.
Apart from founders and very early employees, people used to take a chance in small startups due to the prospect of their RSU/options being worth a ton down the line. Nowadays, though, VC ownership in these companies is getting so large that very little is left for founders themselves, let alone employee number 50. Makes zero sense not to take a guaranteed $500K at Google or Facebook over a tiny chance at $500K at a startup.
Maybe the U.S. can, but it seems that some people still think it's more efficient to go elsewhere, and in the near term I don't see that opinion changing.
Gotta be more targeted in your searches if that's what you care about.

Amazing podcast, but it really made me fear for the future.

It isn't enough that they can track everyone at all times by using phone data, they need actual videos? Combine that with AI and it's a complete privacy nightmare.

"Once bitten, twice shy" as the saying goes.

For example, the EU has acknowledged that their unflappable trust in the US alliance can no longer be depended on. And they are taking steps to move towards a more independent posture in particular on defence.
> The government also added a number of last-minute amendments to the bill, including changes that would allow for surveillance and enforcement of the law.

> Quebec's majority government has pushed through a controversial piece of legislation that will bar public-school teachers, government lawyers, judges and police officers from wearing religious symbols while at work.

This legislation has invoked the "not withstanding clause" which means this legislation cannot be challenged in any court.

True, although as the sibling suggested you can sort by confidence and weed out the edge cases. It's also quicker to go through mostly correct images as you need to make fewer (corrective) interactions/clicks. You can even view eg four thumbnails at once to spot outliers.

Assembly was fun, but I understand it would be cruel and not so useful to teach it to today students, but I can't figure out how someone can learn some concepts whithout the "memory is an array" model.

My favourite book at college about (the real) data structures started building the array, even if it was already implemented in the language.

But this is partly a self-made problem, because in this OOP model you have decided that the internal representation of your data is to be hidden and therefore the data is only accessible via the provided interface.

In practice, it is debatable how often that is helpful when you're implementing generic data structures. An alternative is to specify the representation explicitly and provide a set of functions designed to work with it, but also to allow direct access by other functions when that is useful.

You can still build a layer of more abstract interfaces on top and write more generic algorithms in terms of those interfaces rather than any specific concrete representation, as for example Haskell's typeclass system does.

(I wrote the top comment)

I agree that's not a great question. I usually have few simple questions that can tell you if your candidate really understands the platform they say they understand -- it doesn't take much.

I usually have one or two projects set aside specifically for new hires; the type of project that is maybe a month-long or longer but that doesn't really require any domain knowledge or big integrations. It allows them to have something to do when they're learning everything else. In the interview, I can ask them how they'd proceed with it and I always offer that I'm here to help them and will answer any questions they have. This is literally no different than what I would ask them on day one of the job if they got hired.

Is that more informative than whether or not they can reverse a linked list? I think so.

Even the parts still made in Taiwan are often made by imported labor, last time I visited a bike factory, many signs were _only_ in thai. Taiwanese labor is just too expensive to hit the margins targets US bike manufacturers are looking for. It looks like the shift that's been happening toward SE Asia will just accelerate.
> Third, this “negativity bias” is further amplified in the era of social media. In the past, traditional authorities and intermediate bodies—churches, political parties, trade unions, sports clubs—neutralized extreme positions.

Blaming social media is trendy these days, but this is a poor argument when one reflects on history. "Traditional authorities" often encouraged extreme positions for its citizens, such as the governments of Germany, Italy, and Japan during World War II. (Hitler Youth was a very popular "club!") And doomsday cults have been around forever. (Many are still waiting for The Rapture!)

I'm actually rather optimistic about social media. Proper use of social media makes it easier to understand viewpoints of the opposing side and find and share new information. It seems there is a pessimistic "negativity bias" around social media itself because it's easy to point out extreme examples and users.

Fair enough, I just couldn't think of any other manufacturers even in the industry that make more parts or complete bicycles (that I can actually buy) than Giant does.
Years ago, I was part of a a guided tour at the San Francisco modern art museum. And they had this wooden sculpture of Popeye (old cartoon character, you can look him up - kind of a tough/strong but lovable sailor guy). It looked old, bedraggled and beat-up looking; I think it was assembled from found driftwood or something.

But when I looked at the sculpture, I saw strength. Good-natured defiance and tenacity. That even though it looked like bits of wood were about to fall off, the figure stood with fists up, straight posture, ready to fight. Appearing calm in the face of whatever challenge lay ahead.

As I thought all this to myself, the tour guide asked each of us (about a dozen in the tour group) what emotions we felt looking at it...

And I was shocked. One by one, everyone said how it reflected the worsening state of the world, the fall of the USA, the hopelessness of life...

Which was the exact opposite of what I saw. I saw a spirit of overcoming. That regardless of circumstances, even though one's body (or whatever the body is a metaphor for) is beat up and falling apart, you don't let it drag you into darkness. You stand up straight, you fight with all you've got, and never give up.

Inner strength, resilience, and an unquenchable spirit. Only giving attention to that which leads in the most positive direction availble in that moment.

I told everyone this when it was my turn, and nobody (including the tour guide) seemed to know how to respond. We just kept going on the tour.

I'm not sure what the lesson is here...

But that was about a decade ago. And in the time that's passed, I've created a immense amount of freedom, success and happiness for myself and my family.

And I think a huge factor in me creating that has been my ability to see the good in people and situations, even when no one else seems to... to hold my focus of attention on that, regardless of what others are talking about... and persistently act on the opportunities it lets me perceive. Doggedly keeping this mindset, even when it seems no one else around me does.
I personally think propaganda works on people so I disagree with your statement that propaganda wasn't the reason Trump was elected. One example...Ads.. are non-political propaganda for companies and are billion dollar industry....for example Nike shoes are made in China and sold at insane markups...simply because of advertising/propaganda/branding.
People are easily influenced in my opinion.

To be useful people have to actually sort and clean their recyclables.

For example, plastic bottle caps and rings on soda, milk, etc. are a different plastic than the rest of the container and must be removed as they are not recyclable.

Many people don't understand recycling at all and fill it with garbage.

After taxes 115k is more like 5-6k a month, depending on how much you’re putting into retirement accounts, healthcare, etc.
> What I don’t understand is how providers haven’t a clue which providers are even sending the calls.

This is how it works. The scammers are using $SCUMMY_VOIP_PROVIDER, which is a service that's pretty much marketing to illegal robocallers and making money off of it. The recipient phone companies only know that the calls are coming from $SCUMMY_VOIP_PROVIDER, and are unable to do anything about it because... they don't want to. They're not suffering from it, it costs money to build the systems to work out exactly how scummy $SCUMMY_VOIP_PROVIDER is, and trying to refuse calls from $SCUMMY_VOIP_PROVIDER might land them in legal hot water (which would cost them money even if they won).

There is a very effective solution, reputation, which is how spam mail exited the picture (from most users' perspective). Essentially, you rate your counterparty provider based on what fraction of their userbase is spam and make life worse for them the higher it is. The big email providers worked out the technical solution largely because spam is actually rather expensive to deal with (storing all spam email would increase your capacity requirements by ~10×), and the solution of screwing spammers over incrementally is easy to implement (effectively, you can throttle email since retry is builtin).

Even if companies had to hire teams of government employees to handle/run the reactors, this still would be an excellent idea. It's a shame it will never happen.
The answer to that is kind of boring and simple—because everyone involved would go to jail for a very long time. No employee would do this to benefit a corporation, because it's not the corporation that is going to be doing a decade or two of Federal time as a result of being caught.

The problem with trying to extort Congress is not just that they have subpoena and investigatory power, but that the crime is inherently political and will (quite rightly) bring the hammer down on you from the entire apparatus of the state.

I do not use a phone mount. It's that _last_ thing I want when I'm riding.

I _used_ to wear a smart watch (all of the first 3 iterations of the Pebble) because I thought it would be useful to know who's calling when I can feel my phone buzzing in my pocket while riding so I can decide whether to pull over and answer it or not. Turns out the answer is alway "no". Either I'm jus commuting and I can choose to call back (or not) when I get to my destination, or I'm on the road and I don't care that I won't get to it for several hours or more.

I'm pretty good at navigating - so I don't want/miss the gps/mapping thing. On trips I'd _much_ rather just turn down roads I've never been on that look like they're headed kinda the right way, and see where I end up. If I need to, I'll check in on the phone when I fuel up every 2-3 hours - but it's pretty rare for me to end up somewhere with no idea of which direction and at least a rough guess of how far away the place I'm headed to is.

I do sometimes listen to music - using in ear headphones that fit under my helmet. I'll _occasionally_ use that for turn-by-turn navigation to if I'm trying to get somewhere in town I've never been before in a place I'm not familiar enough to dead-reckon myself close enough that I can get to a place where I'll get by on remembered landmarks and street names.
> how and when to escalate care is clinical reasoning. It's a big part of what med students learn in the second half of med school.

Which NP's don't have as much of, since they didn't go to (or at least didn't complete) med school?

Assuming the court got it wrong and it should be 100% legally the NP's fault. Why did she do what she did? I can't make sense of it in the absence of external factors.

Why would she needle two docs about their diabetes diagnosis, obviously disagreeing with them, and then not send the patient to the ER? If it was clear to her that she shouldn't trust their opinions since she's ultimately responsible, why wouldn't she send the patient to the ER just to be safe? Whether or not she's incompetent for not knowing elevated white blood cell count could be caused by diabetes, she didn't miss anything; she clearly had concerns, and they ended up being empirically correct (even if by luck). What motivation would she have not to act on them?

Is sending a patient to the ER more trouble than trying to admit them through other means? I have no idea, but I'm guessing it's unlikely. Would a clinic nurse have to fill out any substantial paperwork, or merely tell the patient to go to the ER and write that on their chart?

You say you've never seen it, but perhaps there was something wrong with the clinic's policies, and there were incentives for her not to send too many patients to the ER who end up not getting admitted?

What other explanations are there? If she wasn't concerned, why did she needle the two doctors? If she was concerned, why didn't she send the patient to the ER unless there were misaligned incentives or she didn't actually realize it was her call? Maybe some of the details are buried in the out of court settlement with the clinic?

Per your first article, the President has the discretion to limit reporting of intelligence activities to only eight members of Congress (all of whom, by definition, belong to the two major parties).
