Do you have data to support your claim on the EMTs and surgical residents? That sounds surprising to me on the EMT front, though surgical residents presumably are paid quite low because their earnings will exponentially grow in the coming years.

Really great job and I'm digging the UI. I see that Plaid has just launched in the UK so hopefully you can add support for us Brits soon (if we haven't self-combusted in a Brexit meltdown by then).
The entire podcast is like this, highly recommend the entire episode.
Below ~$45k/yr, the actual income tax rate paid is zero or negative after filing for a return. These are the 47% of Americans that Mitt Romney correctly described as paying no income tax.

A $21/hr tax-free job minus driving costs is still equivalent to a $15/hr job. It's definitely not equivalent to a $21/hr job riding around in someone else's ambulance burning someone else's gas. And from what I'm seeing, residents make ~$60k/yr. That job is also a stepping stone to a much more lucrative profession.
This is a great point and a valid question and I'm glad you brought it up. I wrote up a Privacy Policy (https://lunchmoney.cc/privacy) to address some concerns users might have about their data and how it's handled. In terms of connecting your bank accounts, all of Lunch Money's interactions with your bank is through a third-party service called Plaid which is also used by many other financial apps on the market. They've written up a few white papers on their security. That being said, I only have read-access and don't do any sort of interaction with your bank (i.e. depositing some funds and having your verify it). No personal information is pulled either.

The DevOps stuff in my blog post was more referring to stuff like CI, deploy infrastructure, and other behind-the-scene workflows. I've previously worked for 3.5 years mostly as a back-end software engineer at Twitter and was the founding engineer of a YC Fellowship &500-backed pet health start-up handling thousands of pet medical records, so I've gained a lot of experience when it comes to keep things secure.

All that being said, security and user data is really important and not something I take lightly at all. I hear this feedback a lot and am continuously thinking of ways to put my user's minds at ease. If you have any ideas or want to talk about it more, I'm always open to chatting.
Please do not require people to submit their government ID in order to withdraw their tokens, after you inserted yourself in the donation flow of creators by offering to accept donations on their part from a priviledged UI.

We use platforms which do not ask for our ID, and we would prefer if you would not reduce the probability of Brave users donating to us because they think those BAT tokens will reach us.

Yes, unverified creators are marked as such, but a donation call in the browser UI is a powerful default, more so than the donation service preferred by the creator, which can only be shown as a web page.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'm interested to know why you feel that way. "It's open source, so it's your fault something doesn't meet your preferences" is an extremely common conversation bomb in this space. I included the opening phrase to highlight the fact that I'm aware of the possibility that this was a bad-faith response, but I chose to interpret it in the best possible light.

> Even now, there are still a few novelists who set out to grab the reader by the lapels. Seaton commends Dave Eggers’ urgent Silicon Valley satire The Circle (2013) for crystallising concerns about social media in the form of a thriller and causing ripples in the worlds of tech and politics.

Oh God, I hope not. I read The Circle and found it to be a mess, making flawed arguments about subjects Eggers seems to not fully understand. (A review I wrote at the time goes into more detail on this: https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2015/06/book-review-the-circle/)

I hope perldoc search improved on Perl6, because it only used to match section titles, and none of the line noise vars are there.

(Yes, after a while one should learn yo search for the section that explains all the vars, at least if he's coding Perl all day. But it's a ton of useless trivia to keep in mind anyway.)
Positive cultures are created, not by chance, but deliberately. In my many years of experience in tech, a company without any positive culture is very noticeable and becomes boring, exhausting and lacks inspiration. Olark has focused on the one thing that matters the most, not just for their employees but for themselves. It's a lot more fun going to work working with awesome people who lift your spirits and energize you to want to go the extra mile. When you care about the people you work with and the mission of your company, your creativity flourishes, inspiration peaks and drive takes you further than you ever imagined possible, even for yourself. Olark exemplifies companies who care about their employees not only by creating a great culture to work with but showing their employees their true potential as they are able to work in an environment that brings out their best. Go Olark!
> The FDA says they cannot be used this way but they are.

1. Where does the FDA say that you can't say "Made in an FDA inspected facility"?

"Made in an FDA inspected facility" is not "Made in an FDA approved facility" nor is it "Inspected by the FDA" and it's definitely not "Approved by the FDA".

2. "Someone is doing something unscrupulous on Amazon.com" Gosh. Say it ain't so.

Automated ban-bots are probably unavoidable. What's evil is automated appeals, they almost invariably deny them. On Quora anybody can report anyone for harassment. And anyone does. You get a BNBR notification (Be Nice, Be respectful) and a little link to appeal.

Recently someone posted pretty clear proof of Quora employing an automated appeal denial process when they got denied an appeal for a comment praising another user.

I don't know what the answer is here. I'm sure the EU or California will take the lead on the issue when it finally hits their Overton window.

That I'd apply with you again - if I enjoyed the process and the specific feedback either suggests to me that I didn't articulate well or I need to be better prepared. If the process is bad or you treat me like cattle or you provide no feedback, I don't know if the problem is you or me and I don't think I'd try to work for your company again.
If you want to fuzz a library by making a series of calls, DeepState has special support for that, but that won't handle some other issues with network applications of course.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and the Dangers of Moral Certainty
TL:DR Bitcoin will most likely adapt.

>Bitcoin already has some built-in quantum resistance. If you only use Bitcoin addresses one time, which has always been the recommended practice, then your ECDSA public key is only ever revealed at the one time that you spend bitcoins sent to each address. A quantum computer would need to be able to break your key in the short time between when your transaction is first sent and when it gets into a block. It will likely be decades after a quantum computer first breaks a Bitcoin key before quantum computers become this fast.

>All of the commonly-used public-key algorithms are broken by QC. This includes RSA, DSA, DH, and all forms of elliptic-curve cryptography. Public-key crypto that is secure against QC does exist, however. Currently, Bitcoin experts tend to favor a cryptosystem based on Lamport signatures. Lamport signatures are very fast to compute, but they have two major downsides:

>The signature would be quite large, at least several kB (40-170 times larger than now). This would be very bad for Bitcoin's overall scalability, since bandwidth is one of the main limiting factors to Bitcoin's scaling. Advances in scalability such as Segregated Witness (the signature is part of the witness) and Lightning will be helpful.
At the time that you create each keypair, you would need to set some finite maximum number of times that you can sign with this key. Signing more than this number of times would be insecure. Increasing the signing limit increases the size of each signature even more. Since you are only really supposed to use addresses once, this may not be a huge problem for Bitcoin.
There is also some ongoing academic research on creating quantum-safe public-key algorithms with many of the same properties as today's public-key algorithms, but this is very experimental. It is not known whether it will end up being possible.

>A new public-key algorithm can be added to Bitcoin as a softfork. From the end-user perspective, this would appear as the creation of a new address type, and everyone would need to send their bitcoins to this new address type to achieve quantum security.

> if you insist on a language that is Perl-like but also modern

Here's your perennial reminder that the word "modern" is a thought smell.

> it's a language with a small ecosystem that doesn't seem to provide any groundbreaking advantage compared to existing languages

I'd almost prefer this conception went uncorrected, because Perl6 is not just Ruby or Python in different clothes, and it's not just Perl5 with nicer aesthetics, and I don't mind enjoying niches or competitive advantages.
Is there a non PDF version of this or is there a way to read PDFs on an iPhone SE without magnifying glass?
I think the question most would ask is what does Brave offer? Outside of tech, I don't think most people are willing to experiment with new(ish) software unless there's a very compelling advantage (and for most, I don't think BAT is a feature)
You don't need to read much ancient literature to know that beards have always been associated with manliness. Going out on a limb here, but my guess is that's because typically only adult men can grow them. Shocking I know.

I have found an app on the App Store which pretended to be linked to a cryptocurrency dealer and tried to force me to buy a 40€ in app purchase by abrutly and repeatedly asking for my fingerprint to remove absent ads.

The app was indeed a scam by a random chinese dev impersonating a company he was not related to by using their brand as app name and their logo as app icon.
Yes, that's been their claim since day 0. The founders basically claim that they invented it for themselves. The intent was to be a harm reduction device for people that can't quit smoking. Nobody, except them knows how genuine they are.
I'd love to have an eInk one. AFAIK there are eInk displays available for rPi, but they probably need a different set-up.
I hear you loud and clear. Allowing manual import of transactions via CSV is very high on our feature list! Using a service like Plaid to automatically import transactions was a great way to attract our first users and validate our product. Going forward, we definitely want to also support more ways of importing transactions.

this claim is not uncontroversial. they don't cause physical dependence in the way we think of with drugs (ie, no physical withdrawal syndrome), but eating junk food can be an exceptionally difficult habit to break. humans can become addicted to almost anything that gives a moderate to strong immediate reward.

Larry was trained as a missionary and educated as a linguist. He came to language development with the perspective of a linguist. This is why Perl has context and pronouns.

There's a scalar vs. list context when calling a subroutine. Some Perl builtins return different things in the different contexts. Your subroutines can as well, for example by using wantarray() in your code. For example, in list context returning an array or assigning an array to something copies the array. In scalar context an array's value is its number of elements. The readline operator <$filehandle> reads a line from the file with file $filehandle in either context. However, in scalar context it reads the "next line" (depending on line ending settings and seeks and such). In list context it reads and returns the list of lines in the file. This has the great benefit that a while loop with <> reads one line at a time into memory and sets a variable (either one you specify or by default $_) to the line just read. A foreach loop with <> reads all the lines into memory then operates on them, which is sometimes preferable.

There are operators for numbers and for strings and a single scalar variable can be accessed in either context. This allows for easy coercion from the string "42" to the numeric value 42 or back. It's possible with some trickery to set these two values independently, but don't do that.

There are the pronouns $_ and _ which recall the most recent subject in some situations. There's a magic array @_ which is the list of arguments passed to a subroutine or method. There are match variables for regular expressions, which refer back to the matches. There are the variables $a and $b which are reserved "magic" variables used to support user-defined comparator blocks for the built-in sort(). There are variables for which line of an input file you just read.
AI Creates Fashion Models with Custom Outfits and Poses
There are already a lot of great games in VR that make you sweat. It's actually not bad at all. Sweat is easily dealt with if you purchase a washable faceplate cover, and there are no simulator sickness issues created by moving around physically with a 6DoF headset, since the view in-game perfectly mirrors your movement in the real world. The headset can shift around slightly on your head, but I've found that's only really an issue if you turn your head complete upside down. Aside from that, slight shifts are barely noticeable provided the headset is strapped on correctly.

I do agree that actually using gym equipment in VR would be rather difficult to do safely, unless the equipment itself was actually tracked and displayed in-game.

Apple to stop storing Siri audio after contractors heard private talks and sex
They're just so easy to work with, and while directions are great, they're not strictly necessary to at least make something. Compare that with the handful of model cars I tried playing with, which had so many screws/bolts/gears that weren't at all interchangeable. I wanted to play with those, but doing so required me borrowing someone's eyeballs to get the thing built, and that deprived me of some of the fun of having a toy like that.

As an adult, I derive similar pleasure from woodworking and other crafts, but it's challenging enough to do that as a normal kid, to say nothing of also contending with folks who can't/don't support you because they don't know how or are too afraid. So, in the end, you have either legos or the simplest snap-together models to satisfy your building urge.

Even as an adult, I have a soft spot in my heart for legos. I've considered using them as snap-together cases for custom electronics projects, but haven't delved into them enough to know what sets would work best for that application. And as much as I like them, I really don't want to buy some castle or spaceship set just to build custom cases for my DIY doorbell or assorted RPIs. :)
Nah, it’s not that you “don’t disagree” - it’s just that many of those crypto-anarchist ideas get destroyed when meeting the actually real life.

In this case the easiness of writing fake reviews is what makes it unusable. That’s actually the same reason why decentralised social networks aren’t yet a commodity.

This problem is very well known and is an incredibly popular reason why those ideas don’t work in the first place.

The Hunt for Rocket Boosters in Russia's Far North
Someone else suggested renaming Perl 5 to Perl 7, and that has some merits so long as it is 100% backwards compatible (no Python 3 improvements).

Maybe add a few default warnings for using "ugly" features - maybe just in a linter - perhaps not affecting the runtime at all?

One of TypeScript's strengths is that it is JavaScript, but you can configure tslint to help detect certain "bad" JavaScript. Or you can switch on stricter checks (and TypeScript could be just a name for a default list of strict error checks, depending on how you use it!).
Absolutely none for me. Newer employees have to sign something, I think it has more to do with building businesses using company resources.

Plenty of people are pretty open about moonlighting and side businesses and no one seems to have a problem with it. A number of people have left on good terms to work full time on their side businesses. It rubs people the wrong way when some of those side businesses started poaching employees, but doesn't seem like any legal action has ever been taken.
