>for people not in the know, you can easily start your post-PhD career at a big corp with a salary of above 300K USD per year, and that is if you don't negotiate strongly

I'm extremely skeptical that any PhD can "easily" obtain a salary of $300,000 without negotiation. Maybe 5+ years ago a few could, if they were ahead of the AI game. But what hiring manager would you be fooling today?

I'm sure there are a few PhDs here that will prove one of us wrong.

That said, I agree with your sentiment.
Mayo Clinic to partner with Google
My limited experience with local Permaculture farming here in CA is that the biggest challenge is reaching markets. Growing food here is pretty easy (such climate! wow) but getting that produce into the kitchens of the city-dwellers is expensive (compared to the economies of scale for big commercial outfits.)
What is your definition of "disenfranchised community" such that it covers most people?
"But what about the children?" never ends well. I'm a damn adult and I vape because the alternative is worse. I'm certainly not going to vape unflavored e-liquids, so people like me will be forced to buy the flavors separately. Vaping has seriously been a life saver for me. I and my surroundings no longer stink, my lung function is back to normal, and my oral health has improved. When will society learn that prohibition is never the solution? The solution to this is, like all societal problems, is to improve access to education, wealth and social circles. People that are educated, don't worry about bills, and have large social circles generally don't abuse drugs.
1. That sleeping over uncomfortable pending decisions and discussions helps a lot.

2. That a fixed sleeping schedule with at least 8 hours of sleep does wonders to my thought process and has a calming effect.

3. That my thoughts, especially under tough circumstances, are not really a true picture of reality. This one is tough and is still under discovery mode.

4. That I should never compare myself with others. The only thing I should rely on others should be for inspiration. The comparison part I knew my whole life but, like all simple things, it took a while for me to actually immerse in the depth of it.
Where do you work, and are you sure there is nothing immoral at it?
Framing the entire market as “either you buy into this single obvious scam or everything falls apart” is extreme. WeWork has been a gamble throughout, and the latest antics just pushed investors from “yes its a bad investment long term but short term I’ll make a profit” into straight up “this bag is on fire and I’m sure it’s filled with shit so I’ll let someone else step on it”. Wework failing is not going to trigger a complete market collapse. When Theranos blew up the next Monday was business as usual for every single other company.
Maybe a start would be having universal healthcare so we don't have to worry so much about someone having a full-time job.

I have to imagine a large part of this argument is rideshare drivers just want some healthcare without it costing a fortune. They are already making a lowish wage driving people around, how the hell can they afford healthcare on their own?

Yes there are other workers rights that might be nice, and things like vacation time etc. But I have to imagine a large part of this conversation is directly related to healthcare...

I thought that both Uber and Lyft change their rates (surge pricing) when they want to attract more drivers? Then it seems more like a task auction related to supply and demand (drive now for X, drive later for X+).
Gender diversity is important at college because students live at college and often have little time for socializing outside of campus. If you have too unbalanced a male/female ratio among the heterosexual students it's very annoying for both the males and the females.

At best it is very distracting, and at worst very depressing, and can lead to poor academic performance.
Your 401(k) is bankruptcy-exempt nationwide, IRA balances are exempt up to state statutory limits (some states are unlimited here), Social Security payments are fully bankruptcy-exempt, and some states will even exempt your primary residence (eg, Texas).

Insurance is only really necessary to avoid large up-front cash payments - the healthcare provider will treat you with the expectation that they'll negotiate some amount of payment from your insurance provider. Past that, it's fully legal and completely possible to set up your retirement finances so that healthcare providers have to make you pay in advance to get any money out of you whatsoever.

For example: move to Texas to get your IRA 100% exempt. Buy a duplex that's also 100% exempt, live in half, and rent out the other half for cash or physical checks. Whenever you get money from your tenant, immediately convert it to cash and use the money to pay off credit card bills - if you're spending via debt, they can't seize the cash accounts you're using to make purchases.

More generally, there are plenty of ways to acquire bankruptcy-exempt assets with your non-exempt retirement savings. Delaying social security is the easiest of these.

It's a pattern with him and others like him. Bloomberg has been spending obscene amounts of money trying to restrict civil rights such as the right to keep and bear arms for a long, long time.

Somehow I bet he still has armed guards, though.

It would also be nearly impossible to enforce. How would Apple be able to verify that a company is complying with these terms? I don't think many companies would be happy to let Apple poke around in their backend, just as I don't think Apple wants to spend the resources to do that.

Edit: "impossible" -> "nearly impossible"
To be fair anything that is sending like this is probably getting you network blocks:

"This program spews out packets very fast. On Windows, or from VMs, it can do 300,000 packets/second. On Linux (no virtualization) it'll do 1.6 million packets-per-second. That's fast enough to melt most networks."
I just switched to unflavoured base + nicotine shot. It's tastes fine and costs about 80% less. I can buy 1 litre(!) of base for $15, a premix of flavour 60ml costs the same!
Sagas are a great power tool... and 95% of Redux apps don't actually need them. Using them just for basic data fetching is overkill. Sagas are most useful when you need to do complex async logic, like cancellation, debouncing, and decoupled "background-thread"-like computations.

Thunks are sufficient for most use cases, but the main thing they can't do is respond to dispatched actions.

For more info, see the Redux FAQ entry on choosing an async middleware:

Bloomberg can ban ecig juice if we can ban him from eating fried chicken and Cheez—its:

“The New York Times reports that even as the mayor implements one city-wide dietary restriction after another, he continues to indulge. He loves burnt bacon and peanut butter sandwiches, hot dogs, fried chicken, and Cheez-its. He puts so much salt on his bagels “that it’s like a pretzel,” and so much salt on popcorn “that it burns others’ lips.”

Why am I not surprised?
There is a place near me that is part of Regus, but you wouldn't know it, it's very much positioned as a co-working style location. They seem to be using the tactic of setting up parallel brands that don't have the baggage of the old, but have access to their capital, management and expertise.

I frankly don't see We work having any long term advantage over any of the other big players.
I actually followed the "rules" of the walls myself, until my forward key got stuck and I started phasing through things. I never even thought to check the clipping.

The qualm here should be with the app developers, not Facebook.
The app makers chose to use an advertisement company's SDK (Facebook) to monetize their app by sharing data and showing personalized adds.

Everyone knows thats facebook's whole business model and they aren't shy about it. If you're developing an app that collects personal data, its in your hands to make sure its shared appropriately.

I'm confident there are significant numbers of people (read: kids) who would have never taken up cigarettes but took up vaping as the cool new way to get cancer.
Adding unreasonably priced hidden items to a bill after the procedure is done without any contract in place beforehand is definitely corruption. The only reason they get away with it is because they have state backing, otherwise this system would have gotten outlawed a long time ago, similarly to how car mechanics can't bill you $100k for simple fixes without warning you about the huge cost before they start working.
So, from my perspective, everyone except a few high level corporate people would be better off if we never got people addicted to smoking tobacco.

Obviously we can't change the past, but we came very very close to doing the next best thing: make it culturally unacceptable to smoke.

We lose out on all that all over again, except replace tobacco with candy vape juice. I guess again the genie's out of the bottle and it's too late for another few generations, but it's such a shame to me.

Addressing the point of parent's responsibility: there's no chance parenting beat an subculture of cool, let's not pretend that's possible.

It can be up to 55 days free, as payment is due ~20 days after statement.

For debit, you would need a bank account for each employee/team and keep them funded. Credit cards let you make employee cards with set limits.

You also get stuff like chargeback protection and whatever else comes with the card. Amex tends to have various insurances for example.

Note that I don't work in a corp, am just thinking through what debit would require.

It’s all about politicians and how to get elected again. One group shouts “Ausländer raus”, the other group wants to ban SUVs. Same useless crap. Try building more dense and comfortable cities, people don’t drive cars because it’s fun. Especially in the cities! It takes me same amount time to go to the office by foot as go using public transportation. With a car I am 3x faster. And that makes obvious choice.
Please share your thought process, how you get idea to build something like this?
part of why people have such success switching to vapes is that most people actually find vaping to be a more enjoyable experience than smoking (after a transition period). your clothes don't stink, you can breathe noticeably better, etc. imo, the pleasant flavors are a major part of this. I've bummed a couple cigarettes since I switched to vaping and I can't even finish one anymore; they taste gross now.
Maybe so, but what is the process of recycling one? Are we going to have landfills full of synthetic leaves in 20 years?
I suppose that's true and I would probably be worried about that if it was a smaller company or a company that had a real possibility of not being able to pay the bills. At my company that pulls in billions per year and has hundreds of thousands of employees that use this expense system that I've never heard one case of someone having an issue getting reimburses, it's not much of a worry to me.
I’ve been dreaming of corporate card that would also collect the PDF receipts from vendors.

Here the credit card statement is not enough for accounting, you need to have detailed receipt for each charge. Hunting these every month for various SaaS services and other purchases takes time. And it’s not easy to outsource since in many cases the billing stuff is only visible to service admin.
This is a very heavily moderated forum
The English (maybe rest of UK too I dunno) approach is a voluntary code of practice for shops that sell vapes and juices to check that people have been smokers before selling to them.

I think this is the right approach for the UK. I'm not sure it'll work in the US.
But its not a falsehood to call the Amazon "lungs of the Earth" - its an illustration of the fact that the Amazon, until perhaps recently has been the "largest residual terrestrial carbon sink on the planet"[1]

The article opens with this headline which is false: "Humans could burn every living thing on the planet and still not dent its oxygen supply."

If every living thing was burnt, the planet would cease to resupply oxygen and most of the free oxygen reserves in the atmosphere and oceans would be consumed through geological processes. It would take millennia to complete but its not an outcome which is valid to describe in an educational or truth straightening context as "not a dent".

> The comment above talking about "shifting the culture to make it that much more acceptable" is a nod to the subtlety of what contributes to this.

I see no "nod to subtlety" as you claim. All I see is a claim that one employee's overwork is what enables the boss to force you into overwork.

For this to happen one needs 1) routine culture of overwork, 2) and employer who leans into this fact, and 3) an inability or unwillingness to push-back.

If you solve for #3 you've made #1 and #2 irrelevant.

Calling for others to stop willingly work as much reminds me of an old film I'd seen as a kid wherein a new employee starts at a loading dock, and after his first highly performant day the old-timers come along and give him a talking to about his making them look bad.

You'll only look bad if your team and boss expect the "above and beyond" to become the new norm, and this isn't a rule. It is a result of shit conditions.

Just as expecting your coworkers to go above and beyond is bad, so is chiding them for willingly working harder than you.
I've found that a fairly reliable litmus test for the degree of influence and technical contribution you'll be in a position to make is the comp package they offer you. Your management will need to justify what they're paying you to their management, and having you be in a prominent and visible position helps them make that case.

My mother moved to a far-away, small town late in her career to improve her retirement finances. (It worked). Then one of my brothers moved to a new town for access to recreation opportunities. Surprisingly they have been living a short drive apart since then. But neither of them live near the friends they made in $BIGCITY where they were born, raised, and lived for a long time.

I agree with the idea of being able to start your career somewhere other than where your parents live. In the future maybe something will change about vocations/careers that will make location less relevant and this might help our family lives.

Uber as well, although it actually has a solid brand and a useful product. However, the fund is underwater on their investment too, which adds pressure.
This is an astonishingly ignorant take.

You think the world of excellence in tech starts and finishes with Google? You think there aren't tons of firms in the EU that do real, quality engineering? Laughable.

This is what I do. I make all my own decks, which obviously helps reinforce the material. Anki on desktop to create decks and cards, and Anki on mobile to review when I'm bored. Combined with appropriate material and labs, I have taken and passed 5 or 6 certification exams and countless college courses. I also use Anki for work things that I feel are important to remember 'off the cuff'.
The struggle with that is how do you step off the treadmill but stay relatively current. I think about how web pages looked 10 years ago, and in a world of React, I feel like very, very few of the things I learned then help me for more than the very, very basics.

Incredibly poorly.

Nation states aren't supposed to have egos.
Having been to both locations, I can easily say that they are extremely close (relatively speaking). People would walk MUCH longer distances than this at the time (ie Egypt to Bethlehem).
There was also war, famine, an extremely lack of safety services, and an entirely different world back then. Storing things that were sacred or considered extremely important would have been placed in a safe location regardless of the distance (35 miles back then is like 2 miles for us now).
It's odd to call IE 11 "ancient". It was last updated 28 days ago.
> Actually it does the opposite. The climate change deniers have for so long hinged on the fact that people openly lie about the climate to push an agenda.

Actually, you're both right.

The title and the facts upon which it are based, will to some degree reinforce those who are resistant to or skeptical of the climate change message, in that it once again demonstrates the fact that the messages broadcast in the "leftist" media contains factual inaccuracies, also known as fake news or lies. Of course, if they actually read and properly integrated the entire contents of the article into their worldview, this type of article "should" make the world a better place, since it is informative and ~truthful. But that's not how human minds work, as we all know when we're specifically discussing an article about human psychology and cognition, but so easily forget (or under-appreciate) while having discussions on other topics.

You're right that telling the truth should be the correct path, but considering the complexities of reality, I reckon the grandparent is probably more strategically correct. It seems logical that the more truthful message should win out in the end, but if you're not willing to be truthful all/most of the time (how would this even be coordinated?), then it may be a sub-optimal strategy.
It's the UI from the film Hackers that we've all been waiting for.

> "I know it’s bad for you, but it will be better for others. And because we think that’s more important, you have no choice.”

If you don't like this logic, why do you support the OPs use of the inverse proposition:

"I know it’s bad for all of you, but it will be better for me. And because I think that’s more important, I'd like everyone to agree without directly justifying it.”

Even if you believe in a society of objective freedom, there are multiple senses of freedom. There are "freedoms from" as well as "freedoms to", and you seem to be carefully and convexly limiting the definition of "objectively free society" fits exactly cognitive cognitive volume you want, without regard to how other people might define that concept.
Apple Event
I've stopped fearing losing a job because, frankly, it happens so often as a remote webdev I basically never stop looking.

In fact, I am currently unemployed after I rather unwisely completed a 20-week job in 11, and I was literally given no notice and a week's pay.

So now its back to the Upwork slog and trying to convince someone (again) that yes, since I have been a professional programmer for 25 years I can for sure fix those database issues and add those rather pedantic features to your app or website.

Like I often want to shout..."Do you think I'm lying when you read the years and years of experience on my CV that literally lay out me fixing the same issues that you have, and much much more complex ones as well?"

Trying to pin the "blame" (whatever that even means) will get you nowhere...it's like blaming the "wind" when a hurricane comes and blows off you roof. Yes, the "wind" did cause your roof to fly away, but it was simply the endpoint for a huge number of directly connected and unconnected forcess, too many to measure, that were in place for that bit of wind to do its dirty work.

I feel the only sane way to look at work nowadays is to always have an eye out for opportunities that may work career-wise, and get better at interviewing.

Nothing stops you from using pure function components, and you should where possible. But eventually, you need to hold state somewhere. You don't need to put it in your components, but you do need to deal with it. If anything, hooks are a nice middle ground where the behaviour becomes declarative.
Clean data is essential to good results in AI and machine learning, but data can become biased and less accurate at multiple stages in its lifetime—from moment it is generated all the way through to when it is processed—and it can happen in ways that are not always obvious and often difficult to discern https://semiengineering.com/where-data-gets-biased/

It's not reaching into your personal life. It's reaching into businesses to stop them from selling damaging and highly addictive products. Banning tobacco would be optimal but not feasible since too many people are already addicted.
