Working Americans Are Getting Less Sleep, Especially Those Who Save Our Lives
I don't see how there is ever going to be wide adoption of a currency that is currently held in its entirety by something like 0.2% of the population, and claims to be impossible to expropriate.

When people see that kind of concentration of wealth, expropriation is a plus. Expropriation is how it gets redistributed. Nobody is going to want to make a bunch of early-adopting HODLers rich without knowing how to take most of their money as part of the bargain.
"nurses or social workers."

I can guarantee that nurses are analyzed to hell and back; everything in healthcare is analyzed to hell and back. After all, every pill is billed, every machine is billed, etc.

Social workers are also very very analyzed on their day to day work, so much so that there are passed laws compelling reports of suspected activities to the police.
meanwhile on the flipside we should develop benign side loading sites, and trust verification of some sort, so there is a motivation for g009le to do so[support donations].

Why the hell would you want a private company to censor political advertisement? Are they required by law to do that? Why is censorship bad if enacted by the government but it is ok when a private corporation does it?

Imagine that Facebook is required by law to check every fact in every advert that is on their platform. Is that even possible? Would they have the resources to hire unbiased, critical-thinking people who are capable of doing htat? How expensive is that? Would they just rely on the cheaper option - algorithms.

A friend of mine got banned from Facebook for a month for sharing a meme, posted by somebody else, that had a swastika in it. The meme was of the sort "Nazis were horrible idiots". He appealed the ban, on the grounds that the original post was not taken down (he just shared it) and that this had nothing to do with nazi propaganda. It was, in fact, the opposite. An actual human being looked at that appeal and still confirmed the ban.

What makes you think the process will be any more efficient and rational with political advertising? Relying on companies to police content is absurd in every respect, from freedom of speech rights to just plain capability. There's an entire court system built up with the sole purpose of determining truth and even that isn't 100% accurate. Trust the same responsibility on a corporation?
Facebook Wants to Offer You Advice on Preventive Health Care
If an application supports IPv6, it should support DNS. If it doesn’t support DNS, that feels like a bug.

The only configuration item that should require manual entry of an IPv6 address is a NIC. Even that has other mechanisms. Everything else should support DNS.

Edit: doh, the second place is the dns zone file
> The problem is either in your ISP, your network or client configuration.

Thank you for telling me that it's broken. That's kinda my point.

Again, I don't have IPv6 connectivity to the world, at all.

Random applications trying to enable and use it per default is bound to fail.
Yeah, but what about ephemeral DNS for your LAN? Zeroconf and NetBIOS work but can be harder to set up than IPv4 (especially if your install media doesn't have it set up by default).

Why are you dismissing counterparty risk so quickly? The failure rate of Bitcoin exchanges is _high_.
Fair enough. For me (in the US), I have a driver's license but don't own a car, I don't need ID often, but if I leave it in my wallet, there's a much smaller chance that I'll forget it when I do need it (e.g. picking up a prescription at the pharmacy)

I've developed native iOS and Android apps professionally since 2012 and I always found their docs to be a mix of amazing - https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline..., and fairly useless - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision. All example code I've seen provided by Apple looks like a Fisher-Price® My First UIViewController toy.

It is my belief that the Apple iOS docs are just another barrier to developer entry; similar to their $100 yearly license, expensive hardware combined with their WYSINWYG simulator, and woeful iTunesConnect experience.

These barriers to entry, including the poor documentation, definitely have some interesting affects on the ecosystem. I've seen examples of all of these in the real world.

* Experienced iOS devs have a shared trial by fire experience.
* iOS salaries are slightly higher on average compared to Android.
* Skilled iOS devs tend to be excellent developers in general.
* Average iOS devs can be more arrogant and less likely, or less capable, of helping out in other languages and projects. (Apple framework specialist pigeonhole principle)
* There is almost zero culture or standards regarding application architecture or documenting iOS apps.
* Underlying "older" concepts like memory management have been masked, forgotten, and / or ignored.
Yeah, I think people are missing the joke here.
There’s tons of evidence that wide roads induce people to drive fast. If you want walkability then you need drivers to be scared they might scratch their side mirrors.

Tom Vanderbilt’s excellent book “Traffic” goes into depth about this.
So what happens when the time comes to call it quits on a "news website" business? How does the new owner drive traffic to a site when the articles are all old and out of date?

It's not like a web app of some kind that does a recurring business function (e.g. email subscriber management) so novelty doesn't matter, and new features are not needed every single day.
Great idea. Again utilizing the excess capacity. Couple of questions:

Another good example is the Go compiler. Assuming you have any version of Go in your PATH, it's:

git clone https://github.com/golang/go
cd go/src
./make.bash # or make.bat for Windows

And that's it. You can then use "bin/go" to compile your projects.

> You could write XHTML 1.0 documents that were backwards compatible to browsers that only understood HTML 4.01.

You could and a lot of people _tried_, or at least pretended to. But the vast majority of documents that tried to do this failed to actually be well-formed XML, for various reasons... In practice, even restricting parsing as XML to cases when the page was explicitly sent with the application/xhtml+xml MIME type would leave a browser with problems when sites sent non-well-formed XML with that MIME type. This was a pretty serious problem for Gecko back in the day when we attempted to push XHTML usage (e.g. by putting "application/xhtml+xml" ahead of "text/html" in the Accept header). So we stopped pushing that, since it was actively harming our users...
The obvious influence belongs to the managers at all levels. ICs have less obvious roles, but good managers look to their ICs for guidance on what decisions to make. Thus there is a lot of indirect authority in the roles that seem to have no power - for the IC that learns to use it.
Yep. Well said. People making snide comments about "CRUD apps" probably don't work at scale.
>can actually handle the rain and sweat without breaking down

That is my biggest issue, as a distance runner I have never had a pair of headphones last >6 months before they stop work (likely due to salt from my sweat). Its one thing to buy a pair of earpods for $29.99 every 6 months (and Apple usually gives me a pair free under the warranty), but I don't want to spend $150 every 6 months. I've been considering the bone conduction headphones, but haven't been able to test a pair yet.
Beats pro are over the ear cans - do you mean powerbeats pro?
This isn't a great solution. Every IT person knows "its always DNS," and you have to set up IP stuff to bring up DNS in general. DNS is brittle and doesn't deal well with multiple network domains or debugging if the network is down, and those are precisely the situations where one finds oneself typing IPs.

I really think the size of the IPs is a major cause of slow V6 uptake.
"What's really needed there is to make it easier for generics manufacturers to get regulatory approval."

That seems like a sensible solution to the extent the quality/safety itself is not compromised. For instance maybe there is difficulty importing from other countries, but there should be no problem importing regular insulin from Germany, for instance.

When the entire incumbent financial system is designed to treat innovation and disruption like a virus, the only way to make it through is to bend the rules.

Even without wrestling injuries, my ears have never properly fit apple's in-ear headphones.

It's quite odd, for a company with so much ahead-of-the-competition accessibility work, that they've completely left out "people whose ear holes are slightly different" from what could be a profit center.

I bought a pair of apple airpods on launch, and after a week of them falling out every ten seconds, I returned them. They could have kept the money if there were different sizes, or some sort of non-hideous-third-party way to make them fit.
I can't even understand how they're able to charge as much as they do. I've owned 3 Fitbit devices and they perform uniformly worse than a cheap as dirt Xiaomi Mi Band I received as a free prize. Their battery life tops out at 2 days max and the sync feature is broken. Heck, they don't even look good

These headphones do two things: 1) block external noise passively and 2 actively cancel the sound pressure of external noise by producing an out-of-phase pressure wave. This means that your eardrum doesn't experience the pressure from the external noise, so you should be better protected.

My guess is that even the passive noise reduction of using closed earbuds helps considerably. When I'm in the NYC subway with $8 headphones I don't experience the painfully loud sounds from squealing trains/etc. 15-20 Db of reduction goes a long way towards protecting your hearing.

All board games have something math-y underneath them. There is a thing called Game Theory, after all.

But for some board games, the theme around the game aids our intuition about how to play the game. In others, it serves only as window-dressing.

Take, for example, Settlers of Catan. We could change the theme somewhat, but fundamentally a theme around resources helps players figure out what to do with the cards. Saying that "ore helps you build buildings" also helps new players understand and recall the rules.

It might be the exact same game if we got rid of the metaphor and just said it's a game where you can exchange three grey cards, two yellow cards, and an S token, for a C token, but that would make the game much harder to learn and play.

At high levels of play perhaps you might spend all your time thinking about card draw percentages and see the board as an abstract graph, but the theme won't get in your way.

I'd say similar things about Agricola. Or the 18xx series of games. Those themes really help most players learn and play the games.

Other games, not so much. Ticket to Ride would likely be just as easy to learn and play if it was an abstract game of network connections. Go and Chess are clearly long past their original themes. And so forth.

So getting back to your question, I'm trying to say something beyond "All games have an abstract game underneath the theme." I'm trying to say that "A large disconnect between a game's theme and its underlying abstract game is not rare." I don't claim it's universal, but I suggest it's not so rare that Scrabble stands alone as an oddity.

Not half, all of your time will be busting your ass building up rapport.

Lets look at the alternative: you start a greenfield project with no understanding of what the rest of the company's stack looks like. Engineers know some person was hired to do something, and they may be interested in what you're doing, but they're probably not invested in it (the people who hired you are probably more invested, but they're unlikely to be the ones who have a deep understanding of the tech stack). You're facing an incredibly uphill battle here, as there are certainly going to be things that you will need assistance with (custom libraries, weird deployment frameworks, shitty deployment scripts that only one person somewhere knows how to get working etc.).

You may be a super genius, super hardworking person and be able to pull it off. For the average case, I am convinced this is a backwards way to approach the problem.
Nice, this looks very interesting. I never had a real problem with Mitogen, so I have a lot of confidence that this will be worth buying/supporting.

Interesting. It is generally accepted that babies are born premature because the size of our brain grew faster than what evolution would permit the width of pelvis. As we became bi pedal, and walking upright, narrow pelvis had an evolutionary advantage.

It would be interesting to know the babies died. Is it due to anatomical design or is it evolution? Larger mammals have longer gestational..like elephants and whales.

When you make lots of room for driving fast and parking you’re pushing buildings farther and farther apart and imposing the costs on pedestrians. Postwar American cities are unwalkable by design. Hot places should have narrow streets and three or four story buildings so there’s always shade somewhere on the street (as was the norm nearly everywhere before cars).
No, all cars are dealer-owned.
There's no technological use for neuroscience analysis tools to model a microchip, nor for NLP modeling source code, but that isn't the point. It's a potentially useful target to hone the methodology itself on. I actually don't think something like BERT would do so well at learning to essentially execute code.

The counterexample is for a transformer with context width of N tokens, to try to model "def f(x) { ... }; <at least N more tokens here>; def g(x) { y = f(x) ...};". In this case, in trying to evaluate "g(4)", f appears as the literal token "f" and nothing more. To be able to learn to evaluate g, a model would need to be able to do (at least) distant coreference resolution.

IETF recommend a /64 as the smallest subnet size to use, as stateless auto address configuration (SLAAC) only works with that subnet size.

Any user that wants more than a single subnet at home is supposed to receive a /48 by the same recommendation base. A lot of ISPs settled on /56s. Comcast is a bit more stingy than some.

That introduces a whole other set of problems.
I think it is more of a yield and slow down situation rather than a complete stop like a car. The broader point is that a car running a stop sign and a bike running a stop sign are NOT equal in severity. The former adds tons more danger to the system than the latter.
> cut-and-paste repeatedly as needed

Pretty much this, though with IPv4 as I don't trust myself to remember that either.

I find myself increasingly frustrated with tools which force GUI flows or context switches that require me to do that, though. I prefer a 'edit a bunch of flat files in repos, push, magic config engine makes it happen' flow.

It's quicker for me to copy-paste than it is to type even an IPv4.
I get your point, but taken to its logical conclusion, no one should ever stop working, because it costs them money to do so.

If my alternative is sitting in front of the TV, or reading a book, or gardening, or... whatever but I choose to do something like this, the cost of that time is effectively zero because that's what I would have been doing with it otherwise.

So, by "working" at something I enjoy and that I'm doing by choice, I'm basically being paid to entertain myself.

I noticed the recent version of Apple Health on my iPhone logs and warns about dB levels of headphones. So I imagine they're at least thinking about this and I'm really curious to see how it plays out.

I have noticed with other headphones with active noise cancelation I'm able to have the volume set much much lower, but I haven't done strict testing and I am comparing over-the-ear with noise canceling against earbuds.
Realistically only the recruiters looked at the repos/portfolio you provided, if at all -- that's to get you through the door. Once you get on-site interviewers tend not to even look at your resume. This can be good or bad, as it eliminates a lot of bias based on education, background, etc. An interviewer has a question that's well calibrated, that they've seen people answer hundreds of times. There's a simple answer, a better answer and an "if you can teach me something I'll just hire you" answer.

If you spend time doing extraneous things like documentation during a coding challenge you likely won't do well, not because documentation isn't valued but rather because you won't have time to move from the "simplest" answer to the "best" answer, let alone the "teach me something" answer. This may frustrate your interviewers because they're seeing you spend your time in a way that's not advantageous to you. They may even be more frustrated if they actually liked you as a candidate.

Tests are different because they often help you move more quickly and confidently between layers of the question as you can sanity check you revised implementation against your tests.

Not a dumb question at all! The smallest IPv6 subnet is /64, so a /60 lets you split your network into multiple subnets without all the software that assumes a subnet is /64 (like address autoconfig) breaking. Why might you need multiple subnets? Lots of reasons, common ones are for security. It lets you do things like split up a home office network from home from guest wifi from IoT/home automation. Also allows new services to be created that use that capability.
There is little point to be a senior engineer in a company which us not growing, or at least seriously changing their technology.
