I agree. One huge caveat is advertising.

Companies implant desire into human minds, a few implicit examples:

-"If you buy this sports car, women will find you attractive and you will have more sex"

- "Going on this beach vacation will make you happy"

- "Getting this alcoholic beverage will allow you to have fun with your friends"

It's extremely hard to avoid being influenced by ads, for me it's a moral reason to use an adblocker. I want to come with my my own desires, which are mostly not about consumption of products or services offered by for-profit enterprises.
Purely anecdotally: I've seen online discourse that suggests that the complex nature of the modern web requires FE devs be able to keep at least a couple efficient data-structure traversal tools in their toolbox.

Anyone with more experience could probably chime in.
String length in Python is maybe too much exaggeration unless someone hasn’t wrote Python for a long time.
But, algorithms? Sure! Nobody remembers them for ever. Often you at least need to read how the algorithm works before implementing it. Obviously for most devs it is faster to just search for a sample implementation or a pseudocode.
That's just arbitrage, though. You're converting your liquid cash assets into another differently liquid type of cash using a less liquid form of currency, because you have special knowledge about the transfer process.

Bitcoin in this is a material asset, like a house to flip in an underappreciated/subsidized market.
Not someone who doesn’t have to ask permission to spend their own money.

FDIC is meant to protect deposits in banks. If I don’t need to trust a bank, why would I need FDIC?
> We've given up on taxation as a means to raise money for the public good.

Have we? California's marginal tax rate is over 50%, higher than many European countries. The Internet suggests that someone making $260,000 (200,000 pounds) will pay about 41.5% of their income in taxes in the U.K. https://www.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/salary.php. Using a similar tax calculator for California suggests that they'd pay about 39%. I assume the U.K. is also in a post-Reagan, post-tax world?

Must be Reagan. Couldn't be total mismanagement at all levels of California government.
"Could be due to several reasons. Maybe men are more eager to start working quicker to make money, or maybe they have dependents whom they have to support, and thus they need to start making money quicker."

Therefore, the claim that there is a gap between women and men in education level reflecting a male disadvantage is untrue, by your claim. And I am also claiming that the discrepancy might be conflated by other factors, like that it is possible men don't pursue higher education because they may not need to in order to reach high status. Which is something you also confirm by stating that men achieve higher and more dominant positions despite the lack of education because they're more competitive and more risk friendly.

Aren't we speaking on the same page? I'm very confused.
I think this is pretty reductionist.

My alternative viewpoint is that it is really one of choice and substitutes.

For the last century, fossil fuels by in large had no generally viable substitutes. Now, substitutes are coming online to replace previously heavy fossil fuel uses (think, electric cars powered with renewable energy for getting around town or the emergence of plant based burgers to replace beef burgers -> fossil fuel related as a primary input to agriculture is fertilizer, which is sourced from natural gas. Real meat requires significantly more fertilizer for the same amount of calories).

And - is investing really a zero-sum game? What about the opportunity for primary energy production to be substituted by renewable energy sources? Is that a promising opportunity that will be financed? If that does amount to an opportunity, wouldn't it be better to invest in that then Exxon? Particularly if you use the fuller definition of investment rather than just buying public shares?
How does creating more demand ease a housing crunch?
>I don't want to spend most of my life working. I feel like a slave, and now my youth is almost gone.

That's a first-world problem if I ever saw one.

You're going to work most of your life because if you don't somebody else will have to support you. Very few people can provide for their lifestyle without working (it can be done, but it can be very hard and would require a sacrifice of some of the comforts of modern-day).

And yes, you can do 4-day work-weeks. Become a contractor and then you can set your own hours and your own schedule though you'll have to find your customers.

>Weekends offer barely enough time to catch up with chores. There isn't enough time both to catch up and still have fun. I use vacation time to catch up on chores, so that's spent too

Please don't tell me you're single because if you're single or in a relationship without children, you can easily get caught up on your 'chores'.

>But go on, tell us how Google ruined your Brother's future.

I didn't write or imply this in any way.

My point is that many boomers conveniently gloss over the fact that they benefited immensely from the economic climate of yesteryear, and the common refrain of millennials needing to just tug harder on their bootstraps isn't received well because of it.
It looks like the parent went to a different school than UofC.
As with many of these sorts of profiling mechanisms, I assume that racial bias is baked into the process, yes? You know, like it is with credit, crime sentencing, airport security checks, college admissions, and presumably retail and residential investment decision-making. I can't wait to find out exactly how this has been hurting people of color/poor white people.
Proof is hard because hiring is not replicable. However, doing nothing provides proof for the status quo, and if you are happy with that, by all means do not change.

I am not, and will advocate for the contrary.

With ethanol, the carbon which burns to create the CO2 came from atmospheric CO2 in the first place, during the growth of the sugar cane which was used to produce that ethanol. That is, the CO2 emissions from ethanol are not a problem because they are matched by an identical amount of CO2 capture.

I think you're really missing the point of this entire discussion in the first place.

This came up because of a client request.

Your question about whether people from other countries can be considered trustworthy is completely irrelevant.

The fact is, organizations exist that are at polar odds with governments that exist today. It is not unreasonable to, for example, have a 'Uyghur Oppression Awareness Group' require that all of their data be handled by NOT-CHINA. It has nothing to do with Chinese people, or their ethnicity. It has to do with the fact that if an employee is able to access their data, and the government has an incentive to take that data, the government can easily force that person to hand over that data.

This exists in many countries, Russia, China, USA, Australia, UK, the list is very long.

Your argument is flawed because you're arguing the wrong point. The trustworthiness of an individual is not relevant in any capacity.
All of the powers that a municipality wields are limited in scope and specifically granted through the state charters and laws that actually created those cities. A city can’t usurp the power of the state that created it nor can it create new ones itself. Cities, especially compared to states and the federal government, are very limited and ephemeral legal entities that can be carved up, amalgamated, renamed, or dissolved at the pleasure of their state governments.

My question would be, does the city have the right to demand this information from Uber? I don’t think that they do. I’d like to see this decided in court.
California is one of the states with the highest overall taxes in the US. I don't think it's lack of tax revenue that the problem here.
I don't think you need to "go for it" as much as just be aware of what else is out there. It's also empowering to have your resume up to date so that if your feeling down and hating work, there's one less barrier in the way of changing your situation.
Have you actually built shoes in a shoe factory?

Long days of dull and repetitive work, day after day, week after week, month after month, can be super exhausting mentally as well as physically. And it does show in terms of productivity. You're right, the output might be very predictable but it doesn't mean people aren't more productive and motivated when they feel more rested and less exhausted/tired/bored.

I'm a skilled machinist. And I couldn't even pretend that a full day of work didn't make me feel exhausted or that I didn't get tired and feel productivity & attentiveness taper off with time. Observing the coffee breaks when managers aren't around is enough evidence that most employees seem prone to feel the burden of long days at work. People find ways to avoid working too much -- coffee breaks, bathroom breaks, etc. I don't think it's just laziness. I would prefer to spend less time doing more focused work, stretching out a long day is always painful.

Now I work an IT job and am generally more energetic, but I would still prefer to have more time & energy left for my own life and ambitions (which work probably won't ever satisfy).
>I am overwhelmingly more productive and valuable now as a specialized, highly educated, experienced engineer than I would have been as a subsistence farmer.

I've got some news for you, many manual labor jobs aren't just picking up a shovel and digging a hole or picking up a box and setting it back down.

Your first sentence, to me, reads "I'm more valuable than you because I know thing, so I want more resources for less effort".
That's kinda like asking "what is the modern car for executives?"

It really depends on what you're making and what you're familiar and productive with.

I still use jQuery along with Bootstrap and PouchDB on the client side and the Apache web server and CouchDB on the server side.
That's fair. That said, I have been getting more comfortable with refilling less frequently and just holding a buffer in BTC.
Not that relevant, but caught my eye. A 98% or 99% remote company is effectively a 100% company right? 1% or 2% is not enough to be considered a "headquarters".

Is there documentation somewhere for the self-hosted environment option, which according to the product landing page and pricing page is no cost? I'm guessing the flow there is to use VSCode through the online site, but give ssh credentials to one of your servers that's running the Remote SSH VSCode environment. But once I go to Create an Environment, there's no option for a self-hosted one.
It was long fought for and many parties were involved. I'm a little light in reading on the subject but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day#United_States seems fairly thorough.
What's ridiculous is there is hundreds of billions of dollars that would love to help ease the housing crunch in California, however due to utterly braindead oppressive zoning regulations, none of it ever gets spent. Apple spending 2.5 billion dollars is meaningless, that money is far better spent on lobbying to fix the underlying cause of the high rents.
I never brought up operating systems in the context of this discussion on dependencies. Electron is not an operating system, so I am not sure what your point is.
Could you elaborate about the types of misinformation being sown by the higher-ups? Seems like a familiar anti-pattern.
From here: https://news.uchicago.edu/story/university-announces-increas...

"The total cost of undergraduate education for the 2010-11 school year will be $53,244; of that amount, tuition is $40,188, and the remaining $13,056 is for room, board and fees. For about 60 percent of students, that cost is significantly reduced through need- or merit-based aid. And for the 49 percent of undergraduate students receiving need-based aid, the average amount of grant assistance from all sources, though not yet final, will be more than $35,000 per student in the coming year."

So you are correct.
So not so OBVIOUS, anyway. You need the notion of convexity (not so easy to give abstractly unless you already know the definition). Items 4 and 5 look clear but from there to obviousness...

Being visually intuitive is very different to being obvious.
Isn't that half the point though?

Developers didn't "care" about Edge, so sites break (or are incompatible), and users weren't buying in because the upsides of Edge didn't out-weight the downsides (breakages).

Now nobody has to "care" about Edge-Chrome because if it supports Chrome, it supports Edge-Chrome, and therefore users can use it for a lower perceived cost via the lack of breakages. Then it is just up to Microsoft to add just enough unique features/value-adds on top of Chrome to outweigh the little to no downsides.

Plus Microsoft likely saves money over developing/maintaining their own HTML rendering engine. So the amount of gain they need is much smaller to make it successful.
In my opinion, the point about automatic differentiation isn't quite correct. Automatic differentiation will help you compute gradients for complicated functions involving multiple operations, as long as each of these operations are themselves differentiable (recursively; at some point, there's basic 'building blocks' with hard-coded gradients). But not all operations are inherently differentiable (in fact, most probably aren't). Now, there are other ideas such as neural Turing machines and differentiable programming, but these are not really what you'd refer to when talking about autodifferentiation.
We had the same experience here. It was easier to build our own test bench that simulate an AWS stack then to rely on LocalStack

Worked 4 x 9 at one job, so only 36 hours. Would have gladly worked 4 x 10 for the joy that having a day off added to my life.
I like that.

Might add a dash of the "prisoner's dilemma."

But then I would get carried away with this stone soup and throw in love, honor, culture...

...and then end up back at "I don't know why."

It’s not surprising.

People want to be able to call someone for help.

Meanwhile most companies do NOT want you to call them, but want you to figure out how to solve the problem yourself with varying quality of online help.

I ran a small directory of phone numbers, like gethuman before it was a thing.

Every time I came across a company that made it difficult to find their support number, I’d publish a page.

It wasn’t hard for me to rank higher than large telcos or banks in my country.

No wonder why people fall for someone offering a convenient number for help.

Because the vendors themselves certainly aren’t.
By not buying the shares, you make it more attractive for somebody else to buy them. For you to not buy the shares doesn't make any difference for Exxon. You should need one detractor who's interested in money. That's why the equilibrium is not stable.

If you want to kill a business, stop buying from them.

I'm not opposed to car ownership, but office workers don't need 450hp, 2.5t street tanks to cruise around in cities.
UNSILO Publishes Results from “AI in Academic Publishing Survey 2019”
One thing I find crazy is the very same institutions that are generally very left leaning, decry income inequality, and espouse generally liberal views then turn around and having tuition costs that having been rising at rates so far above inflation.

Student debt is a major issue in the US and the ever increasing costs of tuition are a MAJOR culprit in pushing this crisis. Where are these costs coming from? How can you politically espouse free college while ratcheting up tuition costs?
i am not sure we are getting anywhere with this argument. i don't really see the point. when a list has a fixed number of possible entries, then the difference between whitelist and blacklist is purely academic. the result is exactly the same.
That is correct as I remember it...

I think there's a very wide range in difficulty for Dostoevsky's work. Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground are a reasonable length, are told in a linear fashion, and largely easily differentiable characters. Brothers Karamazov, on the other hand, I found very challenging.

As a Chinese I'm actually very disappointed at Gitlab. I think anyone wouldn't be happy if one's country is banned from the company.
And I also think some people just worry too much about people in China. Actually, ordinary people in China are not so oppressed by the government. And ordinary developers from China is just as ones in America. Few of them will steal data from the company.
In general you can check it here:

Example from Prague, Czech Republic = an average IT position has it's total cost of employment (part is payed pre-brutto salary from the employer side) at 55k USD, take home pay is at 30k USD a year.

- this includes a social insurance (if you are let go, you'll get 750 USD up till 5 months of unemployment, if you go by yourself it'll be around 600 USD, and a promise of 1200 usd a month when you retire)

- health insurance on everything but non-diagnosed plastic surgery (like fake boobs and butcheek implants), dental and optician care

- salary insurance during sickness (has to be certified by a doctor, 1-14 day you get 60% of your take-home hourly salary for every workhour you miss, after 2 weeks this changes to 60% of you gross salary counted for every day of sickness (including weekends), after 30 days of sickness it increases to 66%, after 60 days to 72%)

- and of course tax (around 13% of total cost of employment) that pays for public schools, roads, etc
Some say as long as you anonymize user IP (call: ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);), you can only mention GA usage in privacy policy.
Honest question from an outsider: how realistic would it be for the government to stop guaranteeing student loans over a "public university" (community college?) level threshold? What are the unintended secondary effects? Would it help curb wild-growth of tuition fees?
Neither can I but... obviousness is very strong.

Precisely what compilers do for a given flag varies by compiler and by version. There could potentially be issues with certain optimizations (unfortunately, the OpenJDK VM does have undefined behavior, although we're attempting to gradually reduce it; the chance of a real problem due to undefined behavior certainly increases with the optimization level, as does the probability of a compiler bug), and there have been such issues in the past.

So while building OpenJDK with particular optimizations for your particular hardware might be worthwhile in some cases, it's not for the faint of heart, and it should be done with care and extensive testing. If you intend to deploy such a custom-built OpenJDK in production, you should strongly consider getting the JCK [1] (the Java TCK) and testing your build for conformance (for all the VM configurations you'll use: GC choice, compiler choice etc.).

A safer and easier way to get "free" performance speedups is to use the most recent JDK (currently 13).

The "point" was to ensure privacy while satisfying the other desiderata of the the system, which includes ability to find a distinct scooter. I was disputing that it met the latter criteria by grouping too many scooters together (Scylla) in its attempt to avoid privacy violation (Charybdis). After all, why not just lump scooters into the east vs west coast?

Though I grant the general point that making the drop-off location more granular could satisfy both criteria, but you would need some kind of varying size to account for scooter density.

Bitcoin exchange BitMEX: Data leak affected “most” users
i think your argument of "just be happy that you're not in grueling conditions of working hard labor outside" doesn't really apply to the argument of "work less and be more efficient."

its the same argument of saying "yeah well someone in a insert 3rd world country has it way worse than you so your problems dont matter."

you need to step back and understand that people in white collar jobs are allowed to be miserable regardless of whether theyre breaking their back or not, and if that misery can be subsided by having an alternate schedule to work to produce efficiency, then why is that such a crazy ask? because that's just "the way things have always been done"? when was the last time that argument has ever worked out well?
Yes, being able to write a DFS is definitely a good thing. For more complex stuff I don't mind if you need to look it up.
> But it could also be that crisis has gotten so out of control, it can no longer be solved at the local level.

We can't do anything. We're helpless! Please rain money on us from DC to spare us having to reform our zoning and permitting processes!

All of the policies that drove this mess are local. Which means solving the mess can also be done locally.

We're not helpless. We just cosplay as helpless because it means we can avoid discussing the hard changes to popular policies that might be needed. I am so, so sick of seeing this canard given serious credibility.
What should they pay? How much do they pay in local and state taxes now?
