Honestly, this is the big difference I think in American and EU thinking (to be incredibly general). I am paying back my UK student loan, and if a party like Labour once again said they were going to make university tuition free again, I would vote for them in a heartbeat.

I don't care that I'd still have to pay, I want my country to be better. To be a bit melodramatic, yours and my ancestors sacrificed a lot to be where we are now. I'm just glad the only thing I'm likely going to need to sacrifice is some extra tax.
this is a good reference.

Multitasking is what prevents us from working on a problem uninterrupted. If you are not allowed to concentrate on a problem because another task has higher priority you are doing multitasking. You said it yourself, multitasking is jumping from one task to another, and I may add the word unfinished before task.

"It's not just "being afraid"; the problem is that random guessing (of priors) is not a reasonable replacement for science."

As the article goes on to argue, ignoring (or hiding) the existence of priors is not science, either. (Two incidences of SIDS in one family are probably not independent, even if they aren't murder.)

Well, if we're being shitty to each other... my tax burden is the thing that's hurting me the most - and you want to increase it (a lot) for your benefit. You can pay off your student loans, like we did. We can never pay off our taxes. Even if by some miracle Bernie doesn't confiscate my 401(k) savings and redistribute it to "the needy" and I can someday retire, I'll still be paying higher and higher taxes for somebody else to go to college... at least until the whole system collapses.

By personal responsibility, I'm guessing you mean saving and not getting into debt. It is rather strange that you propose everyone does this, since

A) money IS debt. The money in your savings account, that you are so responsible with, is money that originated as a bank loan, or government debt.

B) If everyone is responsible, then you end up with the paradox of thrift where you get a deflation spiral and economy tanks.

So thank those who are being "irresponsible" for your savings, because without them you would have no income.

My team is hiring software engineers. We make and sell CNC carving machines for entrepreneurs and small businesses. (Think of the opposite of a 3d printer - instead of using filament to create a physical object from a design, our machines use a cutting bit to carve out a design from wood, plastic, or metal). We write software for every step of the process, from purchasing the machine and materials to creating a design to driving the machine.

Except this is blatantly not supported by evidence.

Presidential candidates want to win Florida. Badly. The state has a popular vote for the presidential candidate. If "popular vote encourages candidates to ignore everything except for population centers" then we'd see candidates campaigning in Florida exclusively target major cities. But we don't. The candidates themselves show up in small towns in Florida as part of their campaign efforts.

If we don't see this behavior at the state level, then why would we expect to see if at the national level?
I've seen tons of code, including code at companies famous for rigorous coding-interview processes to weed out weak programmers, that was far far worse than this. For all its bad properties, this code at least doesn't succumb to over-abstraction, obscure control flows or object-lifecycle rules, or desperate attempts to use every possible combination of language features in a (failed) attempt to look smart. Those things will kill readability and maintainability far more effectively than a bit of linearity or bad variable naming.

In-Q-Tel | Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, SRE, Data Scientist | Washington, DC | Full-time | onsite | https://iqt.org/

I'm looking for a couple people to conduct technical diligence on startups with me at IQT. The position will give you a broad perspective on the startup ecosystem, introduce you to a wide variety of venture-stage investors, and teach you how the Intelligence Community actually works. These are full time roles based out of our Arlington, VA office.

There are two openings:

The first is for someone with a data engineering background: https://careers-iqt.icims.com/jobs/1119/technology-architect...

The second is for someone with an SRE or DevOps Engineering background: https://careers-iqt.icims.com/jobs/1118/technology-architect...

Both roles are great for someone who wants to build towards an architect or CTO role. Happy to answer any questions; don’t hesitate to reach out. web@peterbronez.com or see Keybase: https://keybase.io/peterbronez

About In-Q-Tel

IQT is the not-for-profit strategic investor that accelerates the development and delivery of cutting-edge technologies to national security agencies. Our work bridges the gap between the challenging technology needs of our government partners, the rapidly changing innovations of the startup world, and the venture community that funds those startups.

IQT occupies a distinct role at the intersection of all stakeholders – our government customers, the venture capital community, and the startup world. It is our access to and deep understanding of these diverse communities that fuel our ability to make relevant investments.

History

IQT was established in 1999 to ensure that our country’s intelligence agencies had access to innovative technologies from the startup community to help protect and preserve our nation’s security. CIA leaders recognized that technological innovation had largely shifted from the purview of government R&D and large organizations to entrepreneurs and the startup community who were developing much-needed technologies more quickly and less expensively, and continue to do so today.

As a not-for-profit strategic investor, IQT has connected visionary startups with a potent mix of support: financial resources in the form of strategic investments, market understanding, and engineering expertise to bring their technology to the intelligence community. Being able to translate between government customers and the startup community has enabled us to deliver on national security needs.

I haven't seen this fact mentioned in this thread yet, but it's super important: This stack of money doesn't belong to any one generation. It's set aside for all future generations to enjoy.

Each year the government can choose to pull some of the money in to the current budget, but by law[0] they can't pull in more than 3%. This is the fund's estimated sustainable yearly return (It was adjusted down from 4% in 2017).

Some posters in this thread seem to think that this is all going to get spent on covering too-generous promises of pensions (yes we have those too!), but that isn't going to happen. It would be a travesty to rob Peter to pay Paul even if Peter hasn't been born yet. Everyone here generally agree on this.

Well sure, when talking about experience. But not wealth. A millionaire living in my city is objectively wealthy regardless of age. I'm not "wealthy" by any means. Despite that, my income is top 1% for my age-group. However the median income for my peers is also barely above minimum wage, so thats not a terribly helpful metric. Knowing I'm in the top 11% regardless of age is far more helpful in understanding how I fit into my local community.

Will do! Best of luck to you and the team.
It's even worse than that. The whole peer-review process we have today is stuck in the 19th century. The whole idea that publication and the credibility that is associated with it should be a binary quality -- a paper is either "published in a peer-reviewd publication", and therefore credible, or it isn't and so it isn't -- is absurd on its face. If there are any shades of grey, they are associated with the "prestige" of the publication, which again, if you think about it, is absurd, and flies in the face of the scientific ideal: an idea is either supported by the data or it isn't, and what two randomly selected anonymous referees on the review board of a journal, people who likely have ulterior motives in terms of their own career advancement, have to say about it should be the least of anyone's concern.

The right model IMHO is open publication a la arxiv with an associated open review process so that anyone who wants to can weigh in. The wheat can be separated from the chaff by doing a "reviewer-rank" analogous to page rank so that the opinions of the people who know what they're doing count more than the crackpots. But this idea that there's an elite priesthood of anointed Scientists, a.k.a. corporate researchers and tenure-track university faculty, who pass final judgement on all scientific truth really has to end.

(And I say this as someone who made their living working successfully within the current system for 15 years. I quit in no small measure because I saw firsthand just how corrupt and dysfunctional it could become, and I was working in a field that is generally considered "hard" science!)
It's not so harsh in Norwegian West, East and South as to be remarkable in any respect. Poland has rougher climate. Northern parts and central-inland in the peninsula are cold, but relatively sparsely populated.

Norway has its natural limitations though which made for a tougher life. Like insufficient options for agriculture, one thing that made feudal system here impossible and diets fairly lean.

That sounds familiar.

I'm supposed to be rewriting a critical part of the main system, while modernising it and preparing to roll out new features (and fixing the constant serious and critical bugs that crop up every couple of days), while managing the initial planning for the company who fucked up the current one to start working on another fucked up one (don't ask, I lost that fight) while dealing with user issues, GDPR compliance, systems administration (still have servers on Debian 7 with PHP5) and on and on it goes.

It's part of the reason why when I'm off in a week or so I'm going to mull over whether it's simply time to leave, I want to work on a team again where it doesn't all fall on me.

Seems stupid to do all the above for the same money as a regular developer on a normal team can get.
