It being pointless is the point. That is normally a fairly low-brow dismissal, so I will clarify that in this case I mean it as the straightforward reading of a piece of performance art. Banksy is an enormously successful commercial artist who has made a career out of mocking the notion that you can own art. The meaning of the piece is that the art is the authentication that you have the art, and that is the art, and if this all sounds a little twee well you’re not the kind of person who buys original Banksys.
Its not much of a stretch to suggest that a company that screws over people in scummy ways has a higher chance of screwing over investors in scummy ways, or just engaging in self destructive business harming behavior in general.

> people living in Crimea are Russian citizens and have been for 5 years

Russia pressured people, but they could refuse accepting citizenship (though those doing so get a lot of practical troubles there, up to persecution). They can't really force citizenship on unwilling people, despite trying.
Interviews should be pass or not pass. Leveling is a bet and a risky one based on a 45min interview. It is probably best to ask the candidate what they want and tell them where the options are to help that bet pay off.

Not defending Russia, just saying the circumstances are a bit different. Iran-655 was downed by a US warship - clear from the outset and no space for argument, while MH-17 was downed by (most probably) Russian separatists with a mobile missiles system, which allows for a lot of deniability, and since they had the chance to deny it they went with it. The US didn't even have that luxury.

We should have a Manhattan Project for baldness. Bring the best and brightest minds in the world together to conquer this debilitating condition once and for all.
It will be interesting to see how the next couple years play out. The growth opportunities in my mind are: expanding their suite of hosted services (https://unity3d.com/services); and convincing an increased percentage of large publishers/developers to develop on Unity. While there is a business in building tools for (generally smaller) developers, it is hard to imagine a $6 billion valuation on the back of just developer subscriptions, even the significantly more expensive enterprise arrangements.

Services represent an opportunity to scale based on the success of products built on Unity, not just on the size of the developer community.

The imbalance is not just in take-home salaries but in the barrier of entry as well.

You can't just get into the field by being a self-taught mechanical or electrical engineer without investing the time and $ in attending a proper university but you can call yourself a software "engineer" after a boot camp and start making $.

The only advantage of these fields though is that you can (still) find work in your 60's as a gray beard while if you're in web dev, hopefully, you have moved far enough up the ladder or made fuck you money until your 60's because I don't expect to see many graybeards doing React in the future.
That doesn't seem to me to follow directly. History is full of successful people who treat the wealthy/powerful well, but treat people who aren't wealthy/powerful less well, and come out ahead by doing so. It really is only in Christian morality, imo (or other similar religions' morality), that this kind of thing somehow inherently doesn't work.
It’s influence all the way down. You want to keep things pretty abstract and let people come up with the solution on their own. 90% of the time it will be what you want, 5% they ask you for help and it’s what you expect and 5% maybe they amaze you..
Seems a bit unfair. While baldness isn’t deadly, it does still have a huge impact on people’s lives. If it can be cured or rectified, that’s a big win for millions of people.

No 4 really annoys me. You should absolutely do it for the money. The main objective of starting a business is to make money. Other objectives like "making the world a better place" or "be your own boss" are just bonuses.
I have no idea what happens under the hood in Linux, but I have never observed my Linux desktop 'crawling to a halt' because of some silly webapp. This is normal expected behavior.

In general, I believe in this kind of system. I've long been a fan of public engineering ladders (see: Rent the Runway) and create a real career path for non-managers.

But... I see a lot of companies hiring at the senior end of the management track (Directors, VPs, etc.) and not so much on the non-management side (usually tops out a senior engineer).

I think that if companies are serious about non-managerial tracks, they need to hire for such roles more seriously.

With a random choice, the chance of playing the same choice in a row is 1/3. This does not give you any advantage over having no information (where each choice has a 1/3 chance.)

I think the misunderstanding is in

It’s also much easier to get promoted as a manager M1 to M2 vs senior engineer to staff engineer. Managers automatically have a lot of impact across multiple teams, but it’s much harder for senior engineers to demonstrate that.

This 100%. Having been both engineer and manager, I have to say it is much harder for engineers get promoted beyond the senior level, so pay is going to be higher over time for managers.
It's easy to ridicule this post, as this comment section demonstrates, but there's a point hidden behind the apparent ignorance insofar as cnbc has reported it.

Startup culture has demonstrated that they are uninterested in following and very interested in subverting long standing regulations that exist for good reasons.

It's not clear how to solve this problem, and there's a certain quasilibertarian bias that legitimizes it, as the federal register is incomprehensibly large, such that only long established networks of expensive lawyers can wrangle it, which stifles innovation.

The difficult part, however, is making the case that innovation ought to happen in this space anyway.
I feel better, because I have only one. wonder why gcloud is so bad? not even as good as digital ocean from a user perspective.
It is, in my opinion, no coincidence that backlash and battiness both start with a B. Keeping up with (semi) predictable flexture would be... well, not a doddle as such, but... if you didn't also have to deal with backlash. Sure, there's a point where everything is, to a first approximation, made of rubber, but it's a lot easier to move that point by modifying or improving the tool than trying to trim the end of a diving board with a laser-assisted pole-mounted pruning saw.

> If we assumed a radially symmetric kernel, then coverage would just be some monotonic function of the distance from the pixel center to the edge

I don't think that's true. Consider a simple case where the shape is a square and you are sampling in such a way that the closest edge point is closer to a corner of the square than the filter width. Using a function of distance you will get the same result as when sampling far from the corner. But the coverage is different in the two cases.
> you’ll need to take these drugs or your new hair will fall out.

Not really true, male pattern baldness is generally caused by non-resistant DHT hair follicles which nearly always occurs at the top of the head. New transplanted hair is taken from the "safe" DHT resistant hair follicles at the side + back of the head. Successful transplanted hair follicles still have different yields from various factors, but they're typically not susceptible to the same cause of baldness as the rest of the follicles in the MPB area.

You're recommended to take drugs to prevent/reduce further hair loss and avoid your new hair from looking like a patch infront of a balding area. But if you have good density/elasticity (to maximize harvest) and a mild pattern of baldness you can get away with not needing to take any drugs.
And RDS.
I started going bald at a relatively young age. I fretted about it for a while, tried different hair cuts etc, and was pretty unhappy about it. After looking in to a few different treatments, procedures and dismissing them all due to side effects and/or cost I bought a pair of clippers and started shaving my own head regularly. The first day I did it was totally liberating, now I wouldn’t go back to having hair even if I had the option. The entire idea that losing your hair is bad is socially constructed by the mass media and advertising industry to sell you these expensive crap treatments. Balding is an entirely healthy and natural human process. Embrace your baldness, stop trying to “fix” it and focus on solving the real problems in the world.

That's how I got really fat.

and since their investors are hoeing for yield and doing pretty good at that then they'll keep working with certain management and their ventures

High-fidelity sound is a terribly fractured, commodified, and unmonopolized market.

Very few people have listened when the minority raised alarms about so much "open source" development concentrated into one privately-owned closed-source service. You, and many others, have said you don't like the US government controlling this information, but people rarely seem to be interested in doing anything about it.

Nothing is stopping this person from sending email patches like they do in the Linux kernel project. No sanctions are involved in this person hosting a Git installation in Crimea that the rest of the world can access.

The problem isn't politics. The problem is that programmer culture currently conflates "access to Github" (which is a service run at the whims of an American defense contractor) with "free or open-source software" (which is a spectrum of opinions about copyright law). They are not related concepts, no matter what Github's marketing team has convinced the world.

I wonder about an arms race between two advanced AI’s which play RPS.

I can’t fully put my head around this, but what would it be like if each AI could read the architecture of the other’s brain before each move. The AI’s would be permitted to reconfigure themselves as they play. An “obvious” strategy may be to simulate your opponent and ask what they are likely to play. Though, simulating their behavior is likely to involve you simulating someone else simulating your behavior, ad-infinium, until your computing resources bottom out. It is like fighting the man in the mirror who can choose to mirror you or not.
Yes, TCP already guarantees reliable byte streaming. However messages can get lost on higher levels: Some MQTT libraries or brokers will drop messages if they are out of memory of some internal queue is full. Or the application level software does the same or forgets to explicitly ACK a message (some MQTT libraries delegate all ACK sending to the user, and don't handle it in the library). In those cases the remote peer would want need to handle the missing ACK in a reasonable fashion.

I took propecia in my late 20s and early 30s. I was lucky, it stopped my hair loss and slightly reversed it as I started growing new hair. However, sexual drive kind of disappeared. I could still have sex, but the drive I previously had was much much lower. I stopped. My hair loss returned and my sex drive did go back to previous levels. It was then when I realized the sexual side effects propecia had on me. Looking back, not sure I really gained much by taking it.

"Open source" started in part as a political shift from the older free software movement. One justification was that companies were avoiding free software because they considered its ideological basis as incompatible with profit. Instead, "open source" focused on the development benefits, eg, others may find bugs and contribute code.

I therefore agree with the view that 'free software' is a social movement, while 'open source' is a development methodology.

OSS is full of commercial interests well beyond hobby interests. Joel Spolsky pointed that out in https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/ :

> I noticed something interesting about open source software, which is this: most of the companies spending big money to develop open source software are doing it because it’s a good business strategy for them, not because they suddenly stopped believing in capitalism and fell in love with freedom-as-in-speech.

The free software movement is itself political - as are all social movements. For example, the emphasis on end-user freedoms related to copyright protection conflict with the emphasis on worker rights embodied in the Anti 996 License.
This is not throwing baby out with bathwater but making sure the water is not too hot and the space is enough for baby to breath. Urbanization model's first principle is to provide decent living spaces in harmony with nature to its residents. Any other model which tries to forget this first principle is not a good model. Hong Kong urbanization model failed miserably and resulted in a prison size space which makes people reluctant to spend time at home with family.

If you want to look at the model go across in Singapore, they have done a wonderful job learning public housing from Hong Kong. They have done wonders with overall urbanization.

So I am not sure how to defend Hong Kong where the repercussions of this form of urbanization is manifested in the form of protest and discontent.
