This is just way, way off-topic. If you want to make it relevant, try asking why voters decided she was unelectable and ask yourself it had anything to do with policy. I think the crux of my entire complaint is that a huge swath of voters don't vote on policy at all. There could be 20 million Trump voters who wish he'd be softer on immigrants and take action on climate, but they really don't care because they just love his attitude or something. It's like declaring your intent to be a vegetarian but spending all your money on Big Macs because they're tasty. And then asking why Chipotle put tofu on the menu when you know everyone hates it.

If sinking trees is not a good enough solution, developing and improving a solution that is currently immeasurably worse and might someday be a hundred times worse is lunacy.

What impact on cities? Cities take up almost no space and are irrelevant when talking about planting forests and then sinking them in the ocean. At worst there will be more freight train noise.
In the UK it's mostly fixed for X years (usually a low number 2-5) then variable rate for the remainder.

You can go longer but the bank will factor that with a higher fixed rate to offset variation.

IDK, probably. 4k's a conservative estimate for what I figure the average probably was, it may have been higher, not like I was counting those calories—I was a multiple liters of soda, maybe a whole pizza, perhaps some pop tarts or just eight slices of toast for breakfast kinda teenager. Plus probably some french fries and maybe some potato chips or snack crackers (not a small quantity of either) thrown in there. Maybe a snickers. That'd be one day of food. I have no idea what my body was doing with all that extra energy. Or why my blood pressure was dead in the middle of "healthy".

> Is anyone else experiencing burnout as a result of numbingly boring tasks rather than from intense bursts of mentally challenging work?

For me it’s boring, meaningless and ill-defined tasks. Especially if you have many of those assigned without clear priorities.

I actually like a good crisis at work. E.g. a major production system suddenly going down. Suddenly, there is focus, interrupts go away, the desired result is completely clear and you feel like doing something that matters.

On the other end of the spectrum, working on some meaningless feature (e.g. adding some performance metrics to the system management decided could possibly be useful as if they actually bothered to look at them) has me completely exhausted at the end of the day.
There was the occasional one. I stumbled through them. There was very little focus on that side.

Pretty bad advertising? It's a BGP daemon. It's not like there are all that many BGP implementations. And it's not a commercial product, so they certainly don't care about being advertised. OpenBGPD is pretty solid. The OpenBSD/BGPD team doesn't put much stock in websites. And the liveness of a website doesn't have much to do with the quality of a BGP daemon, so the advertising comment seems a bit off base.

If you are in the US, then go to a lawyer immediately, and then probably go to the FBI.

And maybe don't trust your computer/phone/accounts/carservice/etc. Try to walk into a lawyer's office, federal building, or local/state police building, while minimizing the adtech-accessible electronic trail of doing so.

Don't delay to build CYA, or to get more money you need, or whatever. Grab what you have already, and walk into a lawyer's office.

(FWIW, I'd think your co-conspirators should already know you're a liability, since presumably it's considered bad practice to say, "Hey, fellas, we all know this is illegal, right?")
What do mean it's not hot topic and who told you that anarchist/communist groups are considered wise choice or something positive? Wanna know what is happening with communist groups in Eastern Europe where most of the communist people that have businesses there are underpaying their employees? Wanna know about the drugs in anarchist groups and how they depend on hierarchy? Wanna know about their rotten utopia? I have a Communist friend, the guy is giving money to the communist group every month and they are forcing him to bring people in and sell their manifesto (what they call "newspaper")

I agree with you BUT social security can also be seen as a pay as you go system where the young care for the old. The notion that saving must take place is somewhat tied to American individualism.

If we didn't treat things like wellfare as disdainful and something you could actually rely on, we wouldn't need to worry about personal savings as much.

Note that air conditioners are basically heat pumps. To cool one side it MUST throw the heat on another side. It "moves" the heat. Which is why a pocket air conditioner that blasts off cool air on one side is impossible. It has to have another long duct attached with it to throw the hot air considerably far, so that both hot and cold air doesn't cancel each other out.

How this device handles this task is unclear.

How do you define being rude? From what I read and experienced in my career the real reason "rude" people get away with what they are doing is simple.

They tend to be top or above average performers who don't like when co-workers who are sub par are treated and rewarded as their equals.

I have met many sub-par workers who love to throw around the word "toxic" to define and attack such people. I have seen such "rude" or "toxic" people work fine along other exceptional and/or capable co-workers and reject those who cant perform.

"He/she is an #@$hole... but he/she is doing most the work and objectively in the end they are not wrong in anything they have said." Are words I have heard echoed across so many different leadership meetings at various companies.

maybe overkill, but i do that... got 7 servers in total around the world (2x London, 1x Frankfurt, 2 in Amsterdam, 1 in Ashburn and 1 in Dublin (Home)) and all (except home) have full routes with their upstream providers and a few IXes too. costs around 100 per month, including the ASN and V4/V6 space, and if you include the home internet connection, double that. all routes are brought back to the house for internal testing, so some servers have space using my own IPs. Yes, overkill, but defiantly fun to play with! [update] forgot to mention, all run Linux and Bird. Did look at OpenBGPD, but settled on bird.

It depends what you mean by "dive into math". To get to the level where you understand the proof of the theorem mentioned in this blog post (Theorema Egregium)? This, I think, is roughly where non-elementary math begins. My opinion may prove unpopular, but I don't think this is actually doable by self-study. Well, except that I did something like this myself, I spent 3 months one Summer going page by page through the wonderful "Riamannian Geometry" by Manfredo Perdigao do Carmo [1].

So, it's certainly possible, but also kind of not. It depends where you are in your life, and why you want to do that. If you have a job, maybe a family, and think you'd like to invest one-two hours of day for this hobby, I'm not sure you can get there. If you are willing to invest substantially more time and effort, you need to ask yourself why? Do you want to enhance your career? I think there are better areas of math/CS/Machine Learning that you can attack, with a much better return on investment. Do you already have enough money, that career advancement is not a concern, and you simply want to pursue truth and beauty, and you find advanced math to fit your taste? Then you can go solo, and I think you can succeed, but I think it's much more efficient to actually get feedback from other people (via tutoring or attending courses, or even MOOC).

Most of my personal websites shout into the void. Their content is so niche (poems, conlangs, web coding experiments, etc) that I would be genuinely surprised if any of them suddenly got popular.

I keep on doing my personal sites because I love creating stuff, and I love coding up quirky sites to display my mad work to those rare whoevers out there who share my niche interests and/or stumble across them by accident.

Building quirky websites is also a good way for me to relax because the sort of sites I get to work on professionally - almost always driven by this or that CMS or framework ... they don't inspire me anymore: samey samey samey stuff with just a tiny odd fun effect here'n'there.
Anyone has experienced the same frustration?

I've experienced the same feeling that new things often aren't all that new. I wouldn't characterise it as frustration, though. For me, it's more liberating: it frees to me to concentrate on what I'm trying to build, not how I can build it.

I no longer care whether I am using the latest this or greatest that according to anyone else. Sometimes I still learn new tools or new ways of using tools as I go along, and I still find that interesting. Other times I don't, because I already have what I need. Either way, what I choose to use is a means to an end.

In short, my interest has mostly risen above implementation details. I prefer using good tools and techniques to bad ones, but any suitable good ones will do. What matters more is what interesting, useful or simply enjoyable things I can make with them.

Not actually malicious. It doesn't steal user data, drop malware, or damage a computer. Just crashes the library. Looks like another developer-developer slap fight.
We don't only need variation, we need rhythm. We live in an a-rhythmic world where in the evening the morning events feel like yesterday, where weeks whoosh by like days, rattled with the constant flurry of calls, messages, notifications and whatnot.

Experts might be quick to point out that there is more to the system than merely being able to identify license plates; for example, it has to be able to operate on a national scale in a distributed way.

In spite of this, I still I think that the author's point holds - $86 million is a ridiculous sum for such a system.

Government contracts are corruption through ignorance (or is it pretend-ignorance?). Software does not cost that much to produce these days even at scale.

The "mom and pop" shops can offer value in curation though.

One of Amazon's biggest problems is that, since they sell everything, and even more everything through third party vendors, they understand very little about most of what they sell. This is why their search is so terrible in many verticals, and probably part of the reason behind the counterfeit goods problem they have. Ship them live weevils in boxes marked "Galaxy S10"-- nobody in recieving will know the difference.

It's a problem with no good solution for them-- even benign stuff like removing obvious duplicates from their catalog would probably cost them precious search results and require huge manual efforts. Going so far as to actually cut off products that sell just because they suck would shake their business model to pieces.

If you go to a "mom-and-pop" shop that's dedicated to one specific niche, they're probably not going to be full of the "noise" products Amazon will have. The specialist enthusiast PC shop won't be stocking weird off-brand SSDs and heatsinks too anemic for modern processors. The camera store doesn't push those $35 Vivitar cameras with a three-megapixel sensor interpolated to 48.

In a way, you're selling confidence-- if I buy any random product in this store, it's much more likely to be an authentic and non-garbage product.

While obviously not a mon-and-pop store, I've definitely heard this argument thrown around about Costco-- they don't have 75 TVs on the store floor, but the 20 they have are probably all reasonable selections in their price range.

I get what you're trying to say but having multiple potential buyers is literally the definition of liquidity. If you only have one for what you're trying to sell then it's very easy for someone else to sell their share and boom you can't get rid of yours. These secondary markets work because there's a low amount of buyers AND sellers but if there would happen to be a sudden surge in sellers then the low liquidity of the market would eventually show itself.
I've observed the same thing and completely agree. Fun activities that are not work-related are meant to make employees happier, assuming they are not intrinsically happy at work. Thus, I think they actually have a net negative impact on human progress because they distract and mask issues like if the co is keeping to its mission. I was at GoogleX recently and totally surprised to see that many people there were treating life like normal day-to-day work, taking pleasure in the laid-back fun activities that don't seem to have any importance to humanity. While I think most people agree they want to contribute to a greater cause, low pain tolerance or no clear means to have impact probably cause many to seek their jolly's through normal activities. If I was a company where my employees were eager to leave after 5 pm, I'd do everything in my power to make them happier too. So it's sad that they impose anything on employees versus allow them to work on something so intrinsically rewarding that people don't need such shallow motivations. Then again, even SpaceX does Volley Ball games!
> if you have the money now, you can have it later (by not spending it)

I think this is where your argument breaks down. As pointed out by many other comments, there is non-zero cost and/or risk to ensuring that if you have money now, that you will still have it later. Matresses burn, stashes get stolen, vaults or insurance cost money. FDIC is limited.
Yeah it's always great to have the interest rates match the natural interest rate.

Btw the definition of the natural interest rate is "The natural rate of interest, sometimes called the neutral rate of interest[1], is the interest rate that supports the economy at full employment/maximum output while keeping inflation constant"

This sounds like something a coworker would write. Unfortunately the individual was not actually a top performer—just convinced that he was. He would consistently say things that were objectively wrong (lot of math in our field... pretty easy to verify with certainty whether someone knows what he’s talking about), but the rest of us were polite enough not to point his misunderstandings out very often as he would freak out and throw a fit if we did. He was basically above average, convinced he was several standard deviations above everyone else, and more or less humored by everyone else so we could get work done instead of managing his ego outbursts all day.

Slightly above average and a generally sane, nice person will likely be beloved by all coworkers. Slightly above average with a complex... not really
What does your "gut response" tell you about rates on 1 month vs 30 year treasuries? Should they have the same yield?
Sure but where does the amount of dividends you're being given come from? All i'm saying is there's no objective "baseline", it's all perceived value no matter how you look at it.
Using a phone number for authentication and identity remains a fundamentally bad idea. Encryption keys should remain on devices and authentication should happen explicitly.
Or, maybe come up with an alternative to making loans? Why is more debt the only answer? People seem not to want it.

The government could spend the money. Or it could give the money to the people (universal basic income) and they could spend it.

This also fixes the inflation problem. Just don't overshoot.
Try Clojure. My advise and what wow'ed me the most: install Leinengen the package manager for Clojure and try a hello world web app tutorial that follows Leinengen. Lein will download and install Clojure for you and pull in all the dependencies. Idk any package manager that bootstraps itself like this. All you need is the Lein JAR and obv a JRE installed and you are good to do anything.

Also having done both Clojure and Enterprise Java. I can tell you its not married to Java. Theres plenty of Clojure specific libraries you can use.

Also try out Nightcode. Its coded in Clojure and is very straight forward. Just hold CTRL and it will show you all available commands.
Thinking is work, isn't it? The brain is an organ, it needs energy in order to work efficiently. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the brain had properties somewhat like a muscle, and deep reasoning for prolonged periods burned a lot of energy.

I'm not sure if there's any biological evidence to support what I just said, but I do get the strong impression that critical thinking is like exercise: some people do it more, and it gets easier for them, so they do it more, and so on. But for most people it's just a drag and they don't like it, they'd rather do other things.

WRT people changing their perspective because of party ... I suspect this is just a mental shortcut. The left and right exist because they summarise deeply held intuitions about human nature. The positions held by each side do follow logically from those intuitions, but sometimes it needs thought to see why, and it's of the rather subtle often semi-sub-conscious type of thinking that most would rather not do. So it may make perfect sense to change opinion if you learn your party has changed its opinion - if you think that your party of choice has got basically the right idea about the world in broad strokes, then it's a nice time-saving assumption that they thought more about any individual issue than you did, and you'd probably agree with them if you thought harder.
yes. I still find myself looking around from time to time wondering how it's all gonna end... feels like something should pop eventually, but what? or why?
I beg your pardon, but if I am using this library as part of a shipping piece of software-as-a-service, and I am in the middle of shipping a new feature when suddenly things mysteriously crash...

If I later discover that the crash was put there deliberately, I am going to call that malice, and malice that has directly impacted a functioning business and its customers.

It's no different than a disgruntled person putting tacks on the road outside of a supplier. If my truck goes there, gets a flat, and crashes into the ditch as a result, I would call that malice as well.

Deliberately crashing software that other people depend upon is malice.
