>Modern philosophies that disregard the special place in nature of Man, and deny Man's nature, are a mess and lead to some pretty horrible outcomes, such as the dehumanization of undesirable groups.

Which philosophies?
The "first class" experience for developing on a Mac would be to develop only for the Mac. If you're not doing that, your job is going to be a bit more difficult.
The NY Times isn't just allowing lies, it's prioritizing them. By allowing a certain law professor to publish opinion pieces that contain hyperbole, innuendo, and other misleading rhetoric, the NY Times is increasing the reach of this law professor. If it had not been for this opinion piece, millions of readers would otherwise have been unaware of this law professor, but are now exposed to his rhetoric thanks to the NY Times.
No, my manifesto says that a clause in a EULA that prevents an end-user from reverse-engineering or modifying a binary that is placed on their own computer for their own personal use should be unenforceable via legal means.

I'm not really talking about source code, let alone the GPL. You can still ship proprietary software, but you shouldn't be able to sue users for using it, examining it, or modifying it -- any more than you should be able to sue them for taking apart or modding a microwave oven or a ladder.
completely at random? no. Also, editors review the articles.
Hmm, it seems like the heliopause isn't uniform so the cmb isn't uniform around a perfect sphere so voy1 and voy2 crossed at different points. I mean, just looking at the sun spots you can see variations that surely propagate through space to make a non-uniform heliopause.

You guys might like a video I made, "the physical reason time slows at the speed of light". It explains the time dilation in a way I've never seen before, but is very intuitive. Once you hear it you may think it's obvious, and wonder why no-one has explained it like this before! I'm "TheRainHarvester" on YouTube.
Ehhh, as a professional armchair land developer, I'm sure IF they can build upwards with the land it could amount to a lot of new apartments. Just a theory.
After a few seasons, I feel like people's characters aren't really growing or have much of an arc. Bachman is gone, BigHead seems to be doing his normal things after losing all his money, Gilfoyle and Dinesh are doing the same things. Jared is at least seeming to go back to his roots as a startup loving character, saying that Pied Piper has changed so much in getting big...

Although the character that I didn't expect to have much of an arc, is having a great one. I'm of course talking about Jian Yang! Now I wish he would have his own show. That guy is not only hilarious, but a kind of evil mastermind in the classic SV way, where you wonder how someone so seemingly incompetent could do such things.

The plot I feel is still pretty good, and mostly just a normal parody of what is going on in SV, which makes it hilarious, but I don't know if other people would really get it as much as tech insiders would.
You're right: this could very well be about Modernist systems incorporating racist, sexist, ableist paradigms into their rote performance.
Did you mean shockingly inexpensive?

UNC Chapel Hill (what I assume you mean by North Carolina) costs students from the state $8,834 USD. Out-of-state tuition is $33,916. I would not call either number "shockingly expensive."

Michigan is $14,402 and $45,410. UVA is similar. Quite a bit more but still not anything shocking. Minnesota is similar but out-of-state tuition is just $23k.
Loans should not be guaranteed by the government. Banks should be able to tell shitheads no.
The thing that fascinates me about the narrative around the tech industry is that it’s one of the few where salaries have not been utterly flat since the 70s as adjusted for inflation. We make a lot more than many other workers, but mostly because many industries have gotten away with giving their increased profits to their CEOs and not their workers. Our executives are just as wealthy, but our workers actually make competitive salaries. I wish we could move the conversation towards actually paying average workers much more rather than complaining about how much tech workers are making. My takeaway is that other people should make more, not that we should make less.
I don't think a professor visiting a sex offender in prison is grounds for firing him. Its too easy nowadays to say that someone's actions make you feel "unsafe" in order to ruin their career. I am reminded of Harvard removing law professor Ronald Sullivan from his position as housemaster supervising a dorm because he represented alleged sex offender Harvey Weinstein.
If you need to run a computation that is going to take 100 years with today’s computers, you probably should wait a bit to start it with faster computers.

I will binge on the season only after it's finished.
Yes, this. The nameplate tuition is paid by a vanishingly small percentage of students. What I think each school should do is publish data showing what the median tuition paid is, and the quartiles. That would help a lot to fight this perception that "tuition is going up every year!"
Usually on their show they derive much of their humour from being so “on the nose” where many folks don’t realize the farce on-screen actually happened in real life.

Using Saudis would have been very much part of their style.

Ahh, of course - I didn't think of that. Thanks, obvious now that you mention it :-)
I once pitched at an investor meeting, and the only bite I had, offered me all the money I wanted, at great terms.

He had a "warehouse of Chinese developers" and would simply throw 10 developers at it working on the exact same thing, and use the best code of the 10. That was his pitch.

Needless to say, I said no.
More interesting to me was the Gilfoyle subplot of trying to get him to catch up on his work and sticking him with a team. That was just sheer brilliance, and having seen similar things come out in real job life, only made it more hilarious.
That 25% number does not accord with the CBC article from 2012 you posted. And it's for the entire country -- from looking at the NEB chart the majority of that is going to the Atlantic provinces.
I'm sure the residents next to the Hudson river in Upstate NY would love more GE polychlorinated biphenyls dumped into their rivers.

I think what you mean is that our current bought politicians don't have the guts to properly stand up to the people who pollute the environment.
Once my friend wrote a program for an hp48sx that would add 1 to any calculation.

These are all legitimate issues and would certainly have me looking for another job, but I think to say these "instill fear" trivializes truly fearful situations. Being an immigrant using a coyote to cross the border into the US seems like a fearful situation and a far fetch from not getting your vacation days approved. Were you legitimately afraid during these situations?
I also got early access, and ended up signing up for a librepay account as well because I was curious to try it out. (Stripe setup went OK for me. Here's my project FWIW: https://github.com/luvsound/pippi)

I set up tiers, because they seem to encourage it, but they're all basically just early access to stuff that I'll make free anyway.

I work for a listener-sponsored radio station and I really think this model is pretty exciting -- keep access free for all and allow those with the means to support it financially. (And rewards I'm sure are good motivators for some.) It also means you aren't beholden to "the man", shareholders looking for profit, etc...
How many letters to the editor do they get saying big tech shouldn't be broken up?

The author's opinion in this area is notable from their expertise. If there's someone with a notable w opinion on the opposite side, I think they'd print it.
>I don't have an exact name for it, but I can see the difference between my older neighbor and what he values in his Porsche vs what I value in my Model S.

More interest in the driving experience rather than just a form of transportation? As a die-hard auto enthusiast I can assure you that a lot of younger people would be driving Porsches if they weren't so expensive. The 911 is now starting at over $110k and the entry level Boxster and Cayman just under $60k. Porsche's options are also notoriously expensive, so if you don't custom order a barebones model through the dealer and wait for it to be made that $57k Cayman is likely going to cost you $75k+. There are a lot of objectively better performing sports cars for those prices, but none of them have the refinement that Porsche offers. Also, the PDK is quite possibly the best DCT available on a car under $200k. I have a GT-R if that tells you anything about what I value in a car. For most auto enthusiasts Tesla is pretty far down on the list of desirable vehicles for anything other than a dense traffic daily driving commute. I've driven a few Teslas and while they're nice vehicles packed with awesome technology, they don't check the boxes I'm interested in for how much they cost.
Climate Change Will Bust the Housing Market
If some more education is needed to make people informed voters, maybe we should add a couple more years to the end of high school. Effectively, community college for all. After all, we expect everyone to be a voter, not just those who go to college.
If you know SQL well, you have a strong toolbox for sure. But pivot tables are strong too, especially in exploratory "slicing and dicing" of data. It is slightly faster for some purposes and that makes it more convenient. I tend to use SQL for the heavy lifting and then explore further with pivot tables.

What I don’t get:

Why does every remote company have to be async?

Why can I not get the setup (remote work) without the ideology (async work)?

Maybe it’s due to a lack of tooling?
Yeah, old Nokias could do that too. I assume they came with an RTC chip with a programmable alarm, instead of using the main CPU for everything, like most smartphones.
Educational bureaucrats are compromised dregs and monsters.
Their paymasters want high-value cogs. Gifted program is there to preserve the value. The rest of the program is there to reduce them to cogs. The result is--at best!--broken people with big bank accounts and nice offices, struggling to fill the void.

In other words, home-school your kids. Give them goals outside of pleasing some salaryperson who doesn't even like them.
Honest question: can you pay more money to NY Times to get your opinion piece more exposure? Can you target individual readers as an audience based on data NY Times has on them?

I think you are right! The whole identity of thinking of yourself as "engineering type" is likely fulfilling some emotional need to belong to a group you perceive as superior.

However, I'm also certain the hipster-corporatist brand aesthetic of products like Slack is exactly part of the appeal. It definitely signals that slack is a tool used by a certain "tribe." And if you aspire to be in that tribe, this tool is for you. Call it the tribe of life-work optimizers and the open office, if you will.
Well, then wake up. We didn't solve it with nuclear tech, and we won't. It is too expensive because it is so complicated and not very popular to boot. It won't happen. And it prevents you (here I'm not talking about you personally) from recognizing the incredible strides PV and wind turbines have made in the past decades.

The IV generation plants people keep talking about didn't happen in time. With the current pace, we're at least ten years from commercial roll out, and at that point there's no market left for something that needs to run 24/7 to be competitive. Wind turbines and solar are falling in price YoY.

I'm afraid even your "We could dramatically cut ... now" is hyperbole. Nuclear power plants take many years to plan and build.
> As far as sending helicopters to Minnesota, those better be fairly long range helicopters.

The range needed to fly helicopters from the Gulf of Mexico to Minnesota is fairly comparable to the range needed to fly helicopters from the Arabian Sea to Afghanistan, which has been done. This would require air supremacy and effective SEAD, but so would an amphibious landing in Texas (though admittedly, you need air supremacy and SEAD over a smaller area if you're only invading Texas). You might even end up using helicopters even for your "amphibious landing" in Texas; landing in boats like Normandy these days can be a dubious notion. Even so, you have the exact same set of questions re. landing craft that you do re. helicopters.

I dunno about Minnesota, but an enemy would occupy North Dakota for the same reason they would occupy Texas and the Gulf Coast: to secure the oil and gas supply. Even if Washington has already surrendered, The Bad Guys would need oil, and that means they would need Bad Guys on the ground to secure it. But they would need a lot of Bad Guys, because there are a lot of Texans with the inclination and ability to fight back.

>There may be combined approaches, too, with potential for lowest system cost.

This simply violates basic physics. Turning electricity into radio waves only to turn them back into electricity is always going to lose energy. This is fundamental.

In a simplistic undergrad setting the absolute best you could hope for is zero loss, but there is no gain. In the real world with real materials there will be loss.

>Here is a patent from an Israeli company on this topic,

Patents are granted on all sorts of nonsense. Having a patent is not proof of usefulness, or efficiency, or marketability, or even if it is better than any other competitor. A patent means the material seemed novel enough to the patent inspector that after repeated rounds of claim modifications and paperwork he wan convinced the claimed item is new. Usually patents are on a small piece of a technology, since it, like this one, builds on a lot of pieces coming before it (hence all the other patents cited).
> Are they powered via PV

Consider that light emitted from the Sun will decay with the square of the distance – as it is irradiated in all directions. To Voyager, the Sun looks like an ordinary star – although one much brighter than the others. Not much energy can be harvested there.

Until recently, photovoltaics were useless as far away as Jupiter. Given the tech advancements, we can now use them there (and have). Farther than that and you are bumping into practical limits.
Lots of these are really just someone justifying their job. Basically, you "do your job" by creating actionable items.
That’s an awfully long-winded response without actually listing a single vendor. It would lead me to believe you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’ve worked with basically every vendor in the space and phone-home is table stakes which is why your story doesn’t really hold water...
Are Successful CEOs Just Lucky? (2015)
I'm disappointed that it even as it become very obvious we were going to continue gathering useful information from Voyager 1/2 and yet no follow on missions have been launched.

I suppose the idea is that there is more to be gained via specialized missions inside the solar system, compared with new long running extreme range probes, but you would think there might be some value in starting to send a chain of probes out, so that communication can be maintained even further.
I’m no great fan of NYT, but the alleged point of an opinion column is to present a debate, not to host opinions that the editorial team supports. However, I think there’s a strong case to be made that this isn’t how the NYT operates in practice, and that they mostly pick articles that advance their agenda.

Great work faustomorales. Thank you and your colleagues so much for this. Greeting from your old buddies ;)
> I have a high school senior and have been visiting many schools across the U.S. and Canada since last summer. The schools with sky-high all-in costs are not even consideration. If they lop off $10k-$15k per year, we will still be paying a quarter of a million dollars for a four-year education. There are no guarantees of this, either, considering grades and our middle class AGI.

You might want to reconsider those "schools with sky-high all-in costs". Many of them have very generous non-loan aid packages, which for many people can actually bring the effective cost below those of state schools.

For example, take Harvard, which totals about $74k/year.

A family of 3 (2 parents, 1 child) with $160k/year gross income only ends up having to cover $25k/year. A similar family with $120k/year pays $13k/year. They have a net price calculator here [1] if you want to see what it would cost you.

I think we need better tooling that allows people to work sync (as opposed to async) while working remotely.
I think it helps a lot when PMs decide on the lines of responsibility.

Like recently we had a project with a lot of mutual dependencies. The app scans a QR code for access and then access is denied. Who is at fault? The app developer? The API developer who gave them the code? The guy who integrated the code? The back end system handling roles?

Is this thing being worked on or is the responsible person waiting on someone else for a fix?

The lazy approach here would be to adopt scrum, which settles issues like this, at a great cost.

But I find a good PM makes it clear what the progress of the project is, without having to bother the engineers for it. They still do things similar to quick 5 minute meetings, but they slot it into the flow, like when the engineer gets back from lunch. Something like Trello helps a lot in this background monitoring, and the good PM encourages them to use it as it's what cuts down the meetings.

One thing I did as manager was to print out every page of the app, paste it on a wall, and then tick off whatever was done, whatever was high priority, or who needed to do it.

It's also important, but much harder, to make sure that the team gets along. When the team gets along, they communicate. When they communicate, they know what's going on. This might include posting memes on Slack as icebreakers or talking about their favorite football match. This might also mean allowing the team to head down and have a half hour tea break at 4 PM.
Is that right? Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos. It seems to me like the average Tech worker is 3-5x higher paid than the average worker. The average tech CEO is 3-5x more valuable than the average CEO. It's not that the trend is different, it's just that tech workers are comfortable enough not to kick up a fuss.
That quoted line... wow.

Is Facebook "in politics" more than carrying ads? I mean, I'm sure they lobby some (all the tech big boys do these days), but I don't think that's what's being referred to.

And if it's just carrying ads... there's this First Amendment thing. If the government were to want to break up Facebook because Facebook carried political ads, that would be really problematic.
The interesting thing is that they have plenty of fuel still, but the parts are degrading.
Maybe. They can also be inscrutable.

And that's just basic algorithms and regular human-written code.

Then you've got ML systems which are a whole 'nother level of inscrutable.
Who gets to decide what constitutes incompetence and corruption? Billionaires and controlling shareholders? The purpose of democracy is to place that decision squarely in the hands of the populace, as imperfect as that process is.
Well, because Excel is quick. I know R and SQL, and I still use Excel a lot.

If I want a quick overview of a problem, query db from Excel -> PowerQuery -> PivotTables. It's easy to use, it's very easy to find solutions in google for PowerQuery, and it just feels slick.

If I need in depth analysis then is when I switch to programming.
IC typically means 'individual contributor'.
The constitution says that treaties are supposed to be ratified by the Senate. Obama signed the Paris accord but never submitted it for ratification, so I don't think the U.S. has ever been legally bound by it.
Polestar is a low volume experiment and not even available yet. Volvo is way behind.
I don’t believe it’s true that rich people are getting to write off college costs as a donation. They might be paying them out of a tax advantaged 529 account. The magnitude of this advantage is such that middle-class people probably care the most about it.
I don't think "actually afraid for your life" is necessarily the floor for whether or not management tactics are fear-based. I can easily see a lot of these problems, in a certain environment, originating as a means of making people fearful of workplace instability.
No, you missed the point. The "teaching a man to fish" includes all the knowledge, including how to make the pole.

Coercive economic dependence drives exploitation and disparities.

"Unfortunately, since it's opt-in it didn't move the needle at all. I think it directed a few hundred dollars to Sindre's Patreon. But that was it."

You can exchange USDT for USD fiat on Kraken.com and send those USD fiat to your real life bank account.
FWIW,

But it answers a wrong question.

Stanford does not admit kids by IQ score. But it does have an entrance exam, as opposed to a lottery among those who applied.

That is, they likely see some value in separating by some measure of aptitude.
People can change their names to avoid reputational consequences, and corporations are currently considered as such.

Renaming a company also seems like a large hassle that is likely to get more press and attention, not less. I'm not sure this is a legitimate fear.
Agile processes still require disciplined management. If you have hurricane leadership, it'll still fuck everything up, and you won't deliver any value.
That ageism is unnecessary here. You could equally say there are a lot of people under 40 and a lot of them are ignorant and do not understand business goals.

Experience is a pretty good teacher in a lot of cases and a good manager must handle the balance between their own knowledge limits and learning how to enable their team effectively use their varying skills to deliver results.
