> That means the number of senior engineers will be increasing very rapidly over the next 5 years.

In my local job market I've seen this acting like a wave carrying people with the right number of years, jobs that once asked for 5 years experience will now ask for 8 or 10 because they can. Javascript is probably the only notable tech stack that's somewhat new and missing people with those requirements. This obviously sucks for the people who missed that wave, but if the same plays out in SV I'd expect the seniors now to be just as much in demand 6-10 years from now.

>If an item comes out of its location, you have no idea which seller it comes from.

You can check if the location it was supposed to be in is empty. From my understanding, the main issues happen during receiving; if it's received to the wrong shipment it'll be incorrectly marked in the system and unlikely to be fixed. Once it's received to the correct system everything else is fairly robust.

>If an item is pulled incorrectly, and then set on the return-to-stock pile, you have no idea where to put it.

If it's pulled, then there'd be a record of where it was pulled from, and that place would be empty.
Curious, can you elaborate on what “completely auditable” means?

"Q9: Do I have to use pronouns I’m unfamiliar or uncomfortable with (e.g., neopronouns like xe, zir, ne... )?

Yes, if those are stated by the individual."

Therefore if someone says their pronouns are all Apache Attack Helicopter (and someone will), and you are aware of it, you are obligated to say things like "I think Apache Attack Helicopter made a good point". If I'm familiar with it, yet choose to say "I think they made a good point", I would have violated the code of conduct.

I love how many people in the UK talk about fundamental changes of the voting system like PR. In the US such a thing would require a constitutional amendment and would therefore be utterly impossible, particularly since the Republicans and Democrats would stand to lose from it. But you don't have a written constitution, so...

But still, even if you got PR, then you'd have a substantial percentage of Brexit Party people in Parliament, making the UK even more of a laughingstock. Doing the same sorts of shit they do in the EU Parliament. And Greens and so forth. Sure that's what you want? I can see pros and cons to it, it is just interesting there is such desire for reform.
This may seem like an insensitive question and I don't mean it in that way but why can't you "think your way out of those problems". For example when I noticed myself being quiet as a teen I applied for a job in a shop to shore up my social skills. I had the keen awareness that ultimately no one cares about me having depression and only me alone can make efforts to treat it. How did your analysis compare?
Oh yes. I'm biased sorry. The most important thing in society is how to accommodate entertainers more for you know, top performance.

Milk in the US is only a couple days old by the time it's in the grocery store.

Unless most people in Europe are buying direct from the dairies, I can't imagine it's appreciably faster. Even then, I grew up having milk delivered direct from the dairy and definitely don't notice any difference between what I grew up with and what I typically buy in the grocery store.

I would guess most of the flavor difference comes from pasteurization differences, since Ultra High Temperature pasteurization appears to be the norm over there.
Here's him reading a short section from Hart Crane's The Bridge:

"
O Thou steeled Cognizance whose leap commits

The agile precincts of the lark’s return;

Within whose lariat sweep encinctured sing

In single chrysalis the many twain,—

Of stars Thou art the stitch and stallion glow

And like an organ, Thou, with sound of doom—

Sight, sound and flesh Thou leadest from time’s realm

As love strikes clear direction for the helm.
"

Someone has to take it upon themselves to put a sign there saying, "STOP! Habitat Restoration in Progress. Please choose another path."

And that's just it. Humanity has carved a path that says, "Make as much money as possible with the least amount of effort."

These machines have taken something we already know is bad, the 90 day, quarterly earnings cycle, which had already obliterated our long-term thinking down to nanoseconds and we want it even shorter.

We have machines moving virtual money around corporations that use money to move real material around the earth -- and beyond.

That is the path we are on right now in this very moment.

Who is going to put a sign up saying, "STOP! Humanity Restoration in Progress. Please choose another path."
Exactly this. Otherwise they'd push their things to standards processes or open them to non-Apple users. Like their login thing, which is genius but useless to non-Apple users.
I request everyone to read Nissim Nicholas Taleb's criticism of this IQ BS. Now, I do not buy all his arguments but I do think his broader point is pretty much valid. At their core IQ tests measure how to answer exams designed by people like them.

The most depressing thing about working for this employer is howe dimwitted majority of their tech employees are beyond the core tech skills. Many of them can write complex code with ease and yet they do not understand simple sarcasm or hyperbole.
A simple answer could be opportunity costs. Lambda is oversubscribed and places are limited, so by accepting a place and then dropping out, Lambda is stuck with nearly all of the same costs as if you had completed the course, which they could easily have filled with someone else.

They undoubtedly do to an extent, but the exchanges use price limits, trading halts, and mandatory nonstop human supervision to keep things under control and allow human operators time to kill errant systems that are losing money. Trading firms and clearing firms require additional safeguards to limit instability and losses. Also, if some group of trading systems does go wheels-off in a positive feedback loop, there's likely to be another, larger group of trading systems operating correctly and taking the other side to eventually stabilize prices.

How essential services are provisioned is a social choice. Formulaire notions like "Medicaid should do it" are not useful. Medicaid is staffed by people who understand medical services. Power distribution networks are staffed by people who understand power. It is far from clear that the former are the right people to be making choices about the latter.

There are more levels than just their own direct position though right? Apple's more data/ad-driven competitors directly gain revenue from having more information. In some cases if Apple is able to shape standards themselves in favor of more privacy, their business model enables them to profit in that environment while it starves others of oxygen. Competitors can't just necessarily take the same privacy stance without suffering harm (and conversely, Apple can't fight battles on pricing or data-driven features like AI as effectively). Businesses seeking to alter the environment itself to match their strengths isn't unheard of and can make a lot of sense.

If you walk into a shop and ask how much a newspaper costs, and they tell you it's free, they're not being misleading, even though it's paid for by advertising. It would be confusing if you asked if it was free and they said no.

Anecdote:

My Dad was a MENSA member for a couple of years, but he was mostly taking the piss - he put down his "special interest" as "carved Dravidian lapis lazuli", which is not as far as I know a thing. He was an RAF V-bomber captain and never as far as I could see suffered from depression or other mental health issues (which would have affected his security clearance) - much the reverse.

Edit: The lapis lazuli thing is (per Google) actually a thing, but in the early 1960s I don't see how my Dad could have come across it, but obviously he did.

I could have joined MENSA (had the IQ) but thought it was all too silly and didn't. I've suffered a lot from depression.

Go figure.

Unbelievably bad reporting on top of weak studies. From the article:

"...showed that young men who smoked just before puberty produced sons who were more likely to be overweight, beginning in adolescence."

So I looked at the study. They "found" that fathers who began smoking at very young age produced sons (but not daughters) with a higher BMI at age 9 (but not at 7). Note the fine distinctions, all from a sample size of just 330 such fathers. This reeks of a Munchhausen Grid.

But it gets better: the difference is between a BMI of 17.23 and one of 18.15. What an enormous difference! And both values are considered underweight.

So, guys, better start smoking before you're ten years old, or you risk siring underweight sons!

Wait, Andy Rubin is your only example? What company has he started and then “run into the ground”?

I’m going to call bullshit. Have many Googlers started startups that failed? Yes, but that’s the default state for startups so it hardly seems notable. I doubt the failure rate for ex-Googler founders is any higher than for regular founders. In fact, I suspect it’s higher, if only because they’re probably more likely than the average founder to be able to raise a round, and that likely increases your success rate vs the average startup. But you’re still probably going to fail.

What I take exception to is the 6-7 rounds of funding. A tiny, tiny fraction of companies raise more than 3 rounds, so the idea that there’s a “very large list” of failed companies started by ex-Googlers who have raised 6-7 rounds is total hogwash. Your hand-waving “you’ve never heard of them” notwithstanding.
They compared it to the national average but they didn't actually give the same survey to people who weren't in Mensa at the same time.

This makes sense to me if their capacity to admit students for a particular class is fixed. If someone starts the class and later drops out, they can't be replaced. So once you have started the program, Lambda School is paying for your instructor for the whole class no matter what.

Don't you still have to pay for the whole semester if you drop out of a regular university after 5 weeks?
Most IQ tests only go up to 145. Anything very close to 145 may mean you "ceilinged the test." In other words, your IQ could be even higher, but the test can't measure it beyond that.

Very high IQs can only be accurately assessed at an early age by a qualified professional. So many people will never have an accurate score.
You know what they say about what it means if the majority of people you meet are X, right?
> The "walrus operator" will occasionally be useful, but I doubt I will find many effective uses for it.

The primary one I want is

if m := re.match(...):
print(m.group(1))

and

while s := network_service.read():
process(s)

both of which are both clearer and less error-prone than their non-walrus variants.

The other one that I would have found useful an hour ago is in interactive exploration with comprehensions. I frequently take a look at some data with [i for i in data if i[something].something...], and being able to quickly give a name to something in my conditional, as in {i: x for i in data if x := i[something]}, helps maintain the focus on data and not syntax. Obviously it will get rewritten to have clearer variable names, at the least, when it gets committed as real code, and almost certainly rewritten to be a normal non-comprehension for loop.

Like comprehensions, I expect the walrus operator to be valuable when used occasionally, and annoying if overused. There's no real language-level solution to bad taste. In Python 3 you can now do [print(i) for i in...], and I occasionally do at the REPL, but you shouldn't do it in real code and that's not an argument against the language supporting comprehensions.

Well, intelligence is not a limiting factor for you. But that doesn't mean that it is bullshit; for others I have met, it was a limiting factor and they would heavily disagree.

I am a recruiting manager for a start-up.

I remember we received an application from a person whose resume promiscuously explained that he was a Mensa members, "an association for superior IQ people".

Their resume overall was not bad (not top-notch either for the position), but the mention alone of Mensa drove me away from ever wanting to work with such kind of persons that look so full of themselves.

I finally declined to interview this person. The question "Is it discrimination?" was always popping into my mind and I felt uneasy about it for about a week or so.

> How can I show that my solution cannot be expressed in some other language?

This is not easy. The solution is certainly computable in other languages, and expressivity is subjective.

We can quantify it like this: a solution is highly expressive if it is given in terms of elements mostly from the problem domain.

For instance, if we have to "malloc" some memory and bind it to a "pointer", but the problem domain is finance, those things don't have anything to do with the problem domain and are therefore inexpressive.

Even if we quantify expressivity, the proposition that "this has the best expressivity for a given problem domain than all other tools, known and unknown" is mired with intractability.
