>Also, there isn't a single cryptocurrency today that can't be tracked, even ones like Monero.

Sure, and the cost of doing so compared to some guy typing queries into their indexed list of every financial transaction in the United States (at minimum) is probably at least one or two orders of magnitude.

If you are someone or know someone to grant you some basic technical knowledge then certainly one or two orders of magnitude higher cost, unless you're a designated terrorist, or someone elected officials talk about executing.

Number one thing is not having my time tracked by management. That always sucks and leads to stress. In theory having time tracked could be good if the powers that be know how to process the information, but usually it’s used as an interrogation / scalding device. So no logging time is a huge positive.

Next is working in a small company where you can make architectural decisions as a regular developer due to hat swapping and not too much legacy code compared to a bigger company.

Finally working in a non office building, nice colleagues, flexible hours etc.

Well, I used to play a lot of competitive FPS games because I found it fun. I have also done competitive programming problems for fun/accolades. But after doing more practical research, I realized it felt better to do impactful stuff (especially getting recognized). Also, research is nice because I perform terrible at short events (games, contests) under pressure. I think that if I tried something else before research that met the same criteria I probably wouldn't have done research.

WireGaurd keeps getting mentioned as the new alternative to OpenVPN, but it sounds like it isn’t available on a lot of BSD’s and doesn’t have much for GUI’s and the like for configuration.

Why would I want to use WireGaurd compared to something like ZeroTier as a VPN layer? Maybe I’m more of a programmer and the notion of a decent api controller for authentication seems nice.

> A 100 Amp relay good for 10kW is < $2, yet the cheapest similar EV charging system is easily $1000.

The grid operates at 10kV. Most electric cars accept voltages less than one tenth of that. The cost is creating a large transformers.

That said, large transformers like these are pretty standard in sub-stations, it's still not clear to me why our existing infrastructure can't support super charging everywhere.

I think the needs of grad students and researchers are highly field-dependent. I'm a mathematician, and I still use the library for older books. (Journal papers, even older ones, are mostly on-line now.) But my colleagues in e.g. biology, where things move a lot faster, don't seem to ever set foot in libraries.
Hollow core doors are around $30 at HD, and probably larger than that top.

No they don't.

They want computers, power to desks, wireless and network internet.

Quite spaces, loud spaces, meeting rooms.

Kitchenettes are also popular. So are sleep cubicles (although hard to deliver enough of)

They want a catalogue that has a really good search system. They don't care about dewey decimal.

They don't want to search through physical journals to find the one they want. They don't want microfiche. They want it delivered to their computer in their bedroom.

Nothing they want is a normal library.

> If you asked most people they'd rather be able to live without having to do their primary employment, even if they don't mind their job. I'd say that's being coerced too, and sex work just sounds like any other job by that definition.

Making children work in a factory, forcing slaves to work under threat of violence, or even paying consenting adults to work grueling hours in dangerous jobs without medical recourse is bad. Paying employees to do something that's menial or boring is not.

The standards of what is acceptable or not certainly change over time, but conflating coercion and acceptable remuneration is a silly equivocation.

If you have the means, I suggest declining this interview. This is disrespectful to the candidates and speaks to a lack of care on the part of the hiring company.

That said, I recognize that you may not be in a position to decline, so I’ll give the best advice I can. The closest I have done is a set of coding exercises while on the phone with a recruiter, but they knew nothing about the coding exercises - they were basically just on the call to supervise. I wasn’t recorded on video, but the text editor and audio were recorded. It was intensely uncomfortable and felt like I was talking to myself the whole time, and I ended up stumbling all over myself trying to explain with zero feedback, trying to ask clarifying questions to the recruiter and getting “I’m sorry, I don’t know” every time. The only thing I can think of that would have really helped is to practice monologueing while doing hackerrank problems.
We have started a project with SQLite as the data store, but ended up replacing it with Firebird embedded due to two main reasons:

I don't know what Libra's plans are but couldn't Facebook make their own Paypal? What would really be the difference?

I can hold a balance at Paypal. I can pay others and others can pay me. The "crypto" part seems like an implementation detail but otherwise irrelevant.

Note: I'm not saying Facebook should be allowed to make their own Paypal. I'm just curious other than "Facebook scary because big" what other reason would prevent Facebook from making a Paypal clone.

Google has Google Pay, Apple has Apple Pay, why can't Facebook have Facebook Pay. What would really be the difference? Just the part about currency conversion to their own units and back? Is that different from certain game virtual currencies?

I've always thought someone should make a Lisp editor that is essentially visual like Scratch and AgentSheets/Cubes. The pages (or desktops or whatever you want to call them) and on-screen position and size can simply be held in ; comments using the familiar X windowing layout method.

That way, you can have different screen/page/workspace environments tailored to whatever it is you are working on at any given time.

The way Scratch lays out functions in graphical C-shaped objects makes it pretty much impossible to do incorrectly, and ensures your inputs are always correct. Except I'd make mind collapsible, since you don't always need to see the code itself, but the functions are always right where you want to see them.

I'd also incorporate ideas from Blender and Logic Audio's MIDI patching interface, which are sort of like dia on steroids.

It's something I've always wanted to do, but it is, at least currently, outside the perimeter of my available skill set, and I haven't bumped into a team that would be interested in creating it.

With a high enough UBI they don't 'suddenly start charging you more than $4'; their cost of goods increases beyond $4 and they are forced to either do that or stop doing business.

As a trivial example - imagine that the UBI is set at the McD's full time wage.

Some nonzero number of people will stop working there, forcing McD to increase wages to maintain staff levels.

For those that do continue to work there, even if the McD wage remains constant, more money will be sloshing about in the local economy because they're suddenly earning twice as much. Anything scarce will increase in price (e.g. rental housing), as a first order effect at least, because at the bottom end of the market pricing is basically about allocation of scarcity.

FWIW I think this is a _good thing_. A business that relies on forms of indirect indentured servitude (e.g. the entire class of jobs that people work in order to eat as opposed to actively choosing them in some form) should only exist for as long as we need it to. If we can make an economy work without it, let's do it.

Nothing prevents them from building PayPal, except the regulatory regime they don't want to ascribe to. Also, the currency conversion to their own units and back relates to the taxability of said currency and the inability to use WoW gold to buy Starbucks. It is a matter of degrees - Facebook could seriously destabilize monetary policy for certain countries and subvert currency controls.
WebAR is a term these guys invented. On iOS there are main 2 technologies:

- also apps with ARKit + your custom render or SceneKit
Status signaling is a specific way of impressing other people: it's impressing them with your status, sometimes called more precisely prestige (as opposed to, for example, your money, your strength, your talent, or your character), in a way that's difficult to fake because it's costly. So, for example, Donald Trump bragging on a talk show about sexually assaulting strange women counts as "status signaling", because it cost him some prestige, and if he hadn't had a lot of prestige to begin with, he would have ended up in jail. (Hopefully he will anyway, but so far he's not.)

Buying more extreme custom keyboards, by contrast, demonstrates knowledge and wealth, and it's a difficult-to-fake and costly signal of wealth — though much less so than, say, a Honda Accord or a Learjet. But wealth isn't the same thing as status, and attempting to signal wealth with something that costs US$500 or US$1000 is pretty much going to backfire unless you're in like Nigeria or something. It's like a hacker equivalent of putting spinners and tinted windows on your car — these are not features that distinguish Bugattis and Lamborghinis from quotidian BMWs.

Anyway, so I think that if it's impressing anybody, they're either poor or they're keyboard aficionados who are impressed with the refined taste that demonstrates your profound knowledge, not your elevated social standing or your wealth.

As for the guy who misread "signaling" as "virtue signalling", honey, bless your heart.

That’s exactly what the OP said, i think you might be reading it wrong.
Turing completeness does not mean you cannot reason about the termination (or performance) of any particular program.
Not sure what part of my statement you're agreeing with, as the two points seem contradictory :)

The fees and penalties at 60 and 90 days that are common in contract terms like we're talking about are there for when the client doesn't pay by the agreed 30 day term, aren't they? 30 days payment is the behavior that the company wants, pretty clearly. Yes, they're also agreeing to limited penalties if they don't meet the original terms, but those penalties don't apply until they've not meet the terms they agreed to (pay in 30 days). It's not a sliding interest rate scale - it's limited penalties (likely as a result of consumer protection efforts over time). Yes, of course paying by 89 days is handled in the contract. Likely so are additional penalties/repercussions for payment after 90 days too (ie the debt will be sent to a collection agency at 120 days), but that doesn't make paying on those terms 'okay', because they were covered in the contract.

I'm calling out the idea that there's nothing bad (immoral/unjust) going on if someone doesn't pay within the ordinary term expected unless it's been explicitly agreed to otherwise (not as a penalty, but as an acceptable payment schedule), aside from other moral arguments about extenuating circumstances, etc that might mitigate the responsibility for payment.
Even doing it that way you still can use the fancy components you see online.

> they want us to support freedom of the press and anonymous sources but don’t allow us to read anonymously.

It's not that they don't want people to read anonymously, it's that they don't want people to read without paying. If there were an easy and anonymous way to pay for reading publications like the NYTimes, I'd bet the NYT would support it.

Okay, okay ... I know NYTimes is a big corporation, and like any other, they love sucking up as much data they can about their users, so they probably won't do this. However, without an easy and anonymous payment system, NYTimes still has moral cover for their behavior. The bottom line is that people should pay for what they read and providers should not require more than that. There's plenty of technology that can handle this relationship, it's just that most people don't.

It's one thing to "fake it till you make it" with some silly web app. It's another thing entirely when you're taking a ton of investor's money to develop a product that impacts people's health (and then you lie to everyone about the fact that it has no chance of working).
One difference is that Pink Floyd made their entire careers on about thirty-five songs, iirc. That's about one season's worth of one symphony orchestra's repertoire, and most performers perform with multiple ensembles to make a living. Does the wedding gig string quartet have their regular repertoire memorized? Probably. Does the orchestra have the premiere by a minor Midwestern composer memorized? No, and they never will.
