On the off chance that some WeWorkers are reading this. My #1 request is for 24/7 hot desk availability. The 9am-6pm hours aren't working for me. Something like one credit per six hour block would be ideal. Often I don't even get started on deep work until after five o'clock ;)

I love the culture. And anecdotally at least, the method clearly attracts talented designers and developers outside the pale. Concentrating creative folks together. Fomenting spontaneous frissons at the various bagel breakfasts. Or around the tap at quitting time. I find it a welcome antidote to pre-packaged and polished corporatism ;)
> Now, you should definitely get a CS degree or similar if you want to be a programmer. I would have done a lot better having one even though I got by without it. Also, my career path was ridiculous and is entirely non-replicable.

I agree completely. As a dropout, I've had people bother me asking how they should go about a career in tech, and I will tell them unambigously "for the love of god, please go to school".

Self-studying enough to be competitive with classically-trained people is really hard, and while I've done ok, it's not something I'd recommend for most humans. I like to think I'm fairly competent now, but even after doing this stuff for nearly a decade, I will still occasionally turn up blind spots of fairly-critical information that I never learned about because it was never immediately interesting to me.

Being self-taught is fun, but without credentials you end up having to work at companies that are willing to take chances, and as a result of that these companies have a propensity towards going bankrupt, or being run by scumbags who will run away with all the investor money (true story). I'm not even 100% sure what advice I could give people trying to imitate my career..."Hey kids, repeatedly fail upwards until you accidentally end up working for a company that happens to get acquired by Walmart which will somehow legitimize your experience".
Like everything else that's done by state law it varies by state. Some states require you to register any car that is primarily used and stored in the state.
She lives in Canada, but is a chinese national.
If you want to make a website accessible to any human but essentially invisible to search engines, configure basic authentication to require and accept any username and/or password, and then set the auth description to “Enter anything to continue”.

Human beings will enter anything and read your article, with the browser caching the credentials for a while, but the vast majority of search engines will treat the 401 as “indexing not permitted under law”, to a degree that your site might not even be returned as a result at all.

Robots.txt doesn’t have the same effect and is soundly ignored by many malicious/uncaring web spiders and tools, unlike 401.

It seems like the smallest thing in the world, but it’s why forums that require you to login to search are so safe against harassment - as long as they block web spidering!
> some independent agent/contractor with limited resources and basic scripting knowledge.

Outsourcing seems likely. Last month an invitation for bids was posted for a contract to promote Chinese state media on Twitter for 1.2 million yuan, payable if the follower count increased by at least 580,000 at the end of the contract period. [1]

Some people have framed it as "China openly buys followers", but it seems clear that whoever came up with the contract intended for those followers to be real people, since a propaganda account is pretty useless if it's only read by bots. Of course the successful bidder would be likely to try and add some fake accounts if they couldn't hit the target otherwise. Someone seems to have realized that and pulled the announcement, which is why I had to use an archive.org link.

This spam campaign might have been similar; with a contract to spread propaganda messages that lacked the necessary safeguards to ensure subtlety.

FWIW this is a fairly common experience. Jason Scott is quite famously a problematic guy. "But", he volunteers an insane amount so he gets a pass on a lot of his antics (hands up if you've heard that story before).

Getting kicked out of the IRC channel for pissing him off for basically anything is frequent. I used to hang out on IRC and saw it happen a lot. Eventually happened to me as well (couple years ago). I didn't go back; it's not worth putting up with him. Didn't stop me from contributing to the archive / AT / archival communities; in fact, shortly after I got kicked out, I was invited by someone else to a jason-scott-free community I contributed to for a while.
and not to beat a dead horse, but worker threads again wouldn't work in this exact situation even in Nodejs. They suffer from the same problems that web-workers do, meaning they use a structured copy algorithm to send data between workers (with the exception of TypedArrays), and therefore would hang the "main thread" just as long as if you did the `JSON.parse` directly in it.

It's a really annoying problem, and I'm actually really happy to see that many others have the exact same thoughts I had at the time, and that I wasn't just missing something obvious!

This has been known for quite a while, basically passing through the non sterile vaginal canal vs the sterile (or close to it) abdominal wall yields differences. This has lead to some questionable practices such as "vaginal seeding" whereby new moms will swab their vagina and then seed their babies shortly after birth (usually through placing the gauze in babies mouth or around their face). This comes up not infrequently at the hospital I work at. I think much of it stems from Facebook rather than actual discussions with their OB.
I have done some interviews for front-end positions and it is interesting watching non-degree candidates crumble on certain really easy questions. Even something simple, like a while loop can trip up some of the newer devs who try to figure out which of the canned JS array library functions I am asking for.

Not that you often need a while loop, it's just interesting that modern web development has shifted to be so functional that you could be a professional programmer who does not fully grasp a while loop.
Electronic Visualisation Lab
The early ones certainly aren't, they're just about pitch perfect. Somewhere mid way, probably around The Annihilation Score, they become so and it starts to feel off, in part because the perfect pitch has become off key. That's entirely ignoring Labyrinth Index centred on Mhari, as it's the weakest book of the series, for its own reasons.

Merchant Princes, set somewhat in the US, gets the pitch of place and character, and keeps it, much more consistently.
It might be more difficult to format a string literal.
Aside from the fact that California has stricter standards than the EPA, what sense does it make for California to dictate automotive emissions for the nation?

If you want stricter emissions standards, fine. But figure out how to do it through the federal government, and not via a side channel.

Edit:

Just wanted to note that I was pleasantly surprised to see people posting reasonable rebuttals and not just the normal "Republicans are evil" replies I've come to expect.

I'm in a combo CenturyLink / Comcast market, and it's AMAZING what competition between even just those two firms does to my offerings. Switched from Comcast's $90/mo gigabit with a 1 TB data cap and only 90 Mb/s upload to CenturyLink's $60/mo symmetric gigabit with no data cap. I have a contract-less "lifetime price guarantee", they did free install (which included running a fiber line from the pole to my house with a cherrypicker), and threw in a free fiber endpoint box (I don't know what it's really called) and a modem/router that's actually pretty good.

I get 980 Mb/s up/down with a 1ms ping in speed tests. Games are amazing, downloads are amazing, hosting files to myself is amazing...all it takes is a little competition.
The Wayback Machine is a project by Archive.org to archive the internet and allow users to browse old versions of pages.

The Archive Team is a community of archivists who do their own thing, but frequently contribute their collections back to Archive.org. There's a lot of cross-pollination between the two.
The operative phrase in that quote, and is by no means intended to be a technicality, is “of its kind.” In my opinion, quilc is in a class of its own, being fully automatic, retargetable, and optimizing, without the participation of an API or any sort of “setup” code. (This includes retargeting to every known gate set, not just CNOT or CZ.) Code goes in, code comes out, just like GCC or Clang.

Optimizations may be completely turned off with the directive PRAGMA PRESERVE_BLOCK [0]. Other optimizations can be selectively enabled and disabled with command line options or pragmas. But, as with GCC, the user does not have full control over every aspect of optimization and transformation, but rather just a set of coarse-grained controls. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a compiler so much as a library/framework for program manipulation.

But one thing is true, quilc is intended to be fully automatic, not requiring (or even allowing) the user to list compilation “passes” or “transpilers”, which is typically what a software engineer expects when their primary concern is writing and running code. Many of the links you’ve listed are either “compilation frameworks” (like scaffcc, akin to LLVM), unitary factorizers (like qubiter, though I’m less familiar), and so on.

Only one techhead person has to setup the system, and then share access to it with all of their friends. And then given everyone's total inability to keep a secret, logins get shared far and wide. Those friends just open the app, find a show, and hit play. On the backend, there's an RSS feed hooked up to an auto-downloader, because DevOps is all about automating toil, and finding, downloading, and then futzing with VLC to find and play the file, is the definition of toil.

I have no idea how many people know someone who's dedicated enough to setup such as system, but there are many such systems, so I don't think it's moot. Nor is this a prediction of the future, this exists, with many users already.

Who's going to pay for it? Netflix. Despite not needing to pay them to watch their shows, Netflix still gets my money. Netflix pays producers for shows that are on Netflix, so those producers still get my money. It's going to be a hard sell to pay for additional services, as the post we're commenting point out.

The non-Netflix services that will survive, regardless, is anything that must be watched in real-time, aka sports. Those add up quick! NFL, NBA, MLB, and UFC all charge a pretty penny to watch their events live. There are pirate streams though, but for dedicated fans, on the real thing is good enough.
I always really expected Google Fi to be cheap and good. Its relatively expensive though, I'm surprised people choose to use it. MVNOs are getting really cheap now like $15, even big 4 telcos (3 of them!) prepaid are like 20-30/mo
I'd prefer that the federal government set a proper nationwide standard (match or beat CA's current standard?), but I do agree with you.

If I were president, knowing that I would certainly have my own chapter in the history books, I would spend at least some of my thoughts on how it would read. "President rootusrootus spent the entirety of his term in office attempting unsuccessfully to undo the legacy of the previous occupant." is not exactly what I would be going for. Tearing down a legacy is not the same as building one.

I hope the adults are back in charge next time around. This was not a fun experiment.
> GDP per capita is a proxy for local price level

No, this is incorrect. GDP is a proxy for production in nominal terms. If it were just a proxy for local price level, then every place would have the same real income and would differ solely by relative prices. That the U.S. has a a GDP/capita that is 4x times some other nation does not mean that prices are 4x lower in the other nation.
It's not a binary fact of having a choice or not. A less restrictive policy would bring a load of frivolous copyright and/or trademark encroachment. Fighting it would be a worthy fight, but would divert resources away from their core mission of archiving, which is hard enough on its own.

AFAIK they're thinking of the historical record for future generations, and present access is a sacrificeable side benefit.
I think it can be capsules that you swallow haha.
Well that's a relief.
It's similar in CA. If you register a car from out of state, California still gets a cut. And California typically doesn't let you register cars from elsewhere that don't meet CA emissions standards (aka cars that have an "EPA" sticker under the hood but not a "CARB" one)
I'm absolutely baffled how the ghost of Jack Welch's stack ranking and forced distribution is still a thing in this day and age
Even assuming I humor you and refuse to notice they left out the gates to the wrong answer, and assuming I humor the authors in agreeing that this is a scalable form of the Shor algorithm (I deny both of these for the record) .... congratulations: by 2016 someone was able to factor the number 15. I guess quantum supremacy is right around the corner!
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime is curved/stretched by an amount relative to it's distance to a massive object which changes the local geometry.

Since light and gravitational waves both propagate through spacetime, both will try to go straight but will get bent since they're traveling through curved spacetime.

It's sort of analogous to how your path gets bent as you try to walk straight along the earth, making you walk in a really big circle. Except that in General Relativity, time is getting bent too and trajectories aren't through space, but spacetime.
What about my case isn't about convenience exactly ?

All of it is about convenience to access content. Netflix had it at first when its library was "fresh". But since it is a rolling library instead of an ever growing one, it almost never has the movie I want to watch.

Blade Runner is the first example that came to mind and I believe that it is a good one. it is an acclaimed movie that should be very easy to find online.

I would be ready to pay more for a Netflix like service with "everything". Actually I used to pay for multiple services at once.

Would I pay 10 times ? I don't think so, personally I don't value such a service that highly but that's a subjective opinion (just like somebody could rightfully say that for them Netflix or Spotify are too costly) and a bit of a straw-man IMO.
Restrictions on speech are usually less about arriving at a correct conclusion, and more on serving those in power. See Ag-gag laws, China and Russia, the since overturned criminalization of inciting people to resist the draft in the US (that gave us the "fire in a crowded theater" quote), the un-American Activities Committee, and all manner of state-sponsored propaganda.

To ask "will they get it right?" is misleading - they won't even try.
And thanks to you for helping show me that I wasn't the only one to try that!

This whole thread has been really nice to read, because I beat my head against a wall for a long time before I finally found a solution, and I'm glad to read that I wasn't the only one to think this was a lot more deceptively hard than I thought at first thought (or second, or third...)
I kept reading that as cartoons and I was just so confused for a second...
Extra stupidity: you literally can't use the USAA app on a rooted Android device; it'll detect that the phone's rooted and refuse to let you login. God forbid I assert control over my own goddamn device, right? It ain't USAA's job to lecture me about my own device security; its job is to shut up and show me information about my car insurance.
Be careful with that example. You probably know this, but stars can't disappear instantaneously, and so if you start with that assumption it's easy to get paradoxical results from relativity.

That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the model. It's just GIGO.
Many self taught developers will focus on less theoretical skills related to programming and focus on what's practical.

They may read a textbook to teach themselves but it'll be different than the textbooks they make you read for a CS degree.

This typically is a benefit, many fresh CS grades I've seen are not as comfortable developing in their first job as a lot of self taught developers.
The in-house coach pushed back mightily against hiring an engineer with a QA background with pretty much the exact same reasoning. The testing would be done in the sprint by the team, so there was no reason to proceed with the hire. The reality of the production code clearly showed a different reality, but the attempts at persuasion were made anyway.

I observed one of the Manifesto signatories for the first time last night. Superb presentation skills, I'll give them that.

I'm more of a Taoist than a Confucian (and a sysadmin to boot) in this sense: The system which can be defined is not the true system.

> If you want stricter emissions standards, fine. But figure out how to do it through the federal government, and not via a side channel.

I agree that it would be better if this was federal, but if the federal government cannot or will not implement good regulations, I'd rather states do it via a side channel than just leave the problem as it is.

All of your methods are obtuse.

And if you define the “middle class to upper class”, by definition you get 50% to 60% (3-5 quintile) of the US - the exact population that streaming products are targeting.
I agree but I specifically mentioned the topics of Brexit and the admittetly broader ‘Trumpism’.
On these topics the asymmetry is phenomenal. Take the recent ‘sharpiegate’ as an example for how little regard, contempt even, Trump has for the truth and facts.
Google Fi is expensive for individuals. Their initial premise was $20 base for unlimited text/phone and $10 / Gb. It was very naive of me to think that my avg phone bill would decrease a lot. But the data streaming adds up.

You are better off in a group plan (unlimited data) with friends on TMobile. it ll cost you lot less.
My dad didn't have any trouble registering his 2008 truck this year. Emissions standards aren't retroactive— if you take a car to get smogged it only has to meet the emissions standards from the year it was made
> The response was basically don't worry about it because you aren't responsible for fraud.

That's assuming you can prove it. The banks' poor authentication practices certainly don't help on that front. If their own systems don't flag the transaction as fraudulent then it becomes nothing more than your word against theirs.

And storing cleartext passwords is a risk to the user in the event of a breach regardless of their liability, or lack thereof, for fraudulent activity in their account. (Yeah, each password should be a unique, random string used only for that account—in theory. It rarely works out that way in practice.)

Personally I'd rather they implemented standard strong authentication mechanisms and backed off a bit on the data-mining and general paranoia about atypical transactions. Chip+PIN cards are a good start on this but they're still far from universal (especially the PIN part) and don't work at all for online payments. The card should be a proper HSM with standardized interfaces for PCs and mobile devices, and the PIN should be both mandatory for every transaction and randomly assigned.
The way I see it, it is mostly about motivating his base.
Creating a negative feedback from the opposition rallies his base united against "the enemy" and has a larger reach and impact than whatever he does in the first place.
That is impact on his support, anything else doesn't matter.

If it fails in court, he will use _that_ to drum up his base.
So it's not a failure in that context.
Why is scrolling bad?
Funny parts is we actually have that here, the next island over (Ramrod Key), is exclusively Xfinity/Comcast and I believe Key West is split between AT&T, Comcast and Verizon (but most of it is underground there). I am not sure what the upper islands are but I would assume a mix of at least AT&T and Comcast.
Thanks for the advice, it makes a lot of sense !
California wasn't forcing anyone else to follow their rules. And this is a perfect example of federalism. California wants cleaner air than Florida, so it sets stricter standards. Which is fine, Florida doesn't have to follow. If the cost difference is enough to matter, Ford can create two catalytic converters, the California 'hypochondriac' model and the Florida 'lunger' model, and all will be as it should be.
