The inverse. Lower rates -> higher bond value. Bonds work like that. Greenspan held bonds. He worked rates lower. That made the bonds he held more valuable because those were paying higher interest than new bonds.

Now mind you, lower interest rates was a very good thing in the 80s. Whether you think lower is better even now, one thing is certain: Greenspan did have a conflict of interest even as he showed how much he didn't.
> Problem with Afghanistan/Iraq is that the US lost the knowledge on how to conduct a war since WW2.

Did Vietnam and Korea not happen? Plenty of nation building going on there. Vietnam failed because peacekeeping isn't the same as peacemaking. The Nazi fought to the last man (or close to it) and were beaten down completely; the Japanese were nuked into submission. Both of those are not or were not options in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where there was/is still strong opposition backed by foreign powers.

> There was no plan on how to fix/rebuild the country after the threat (Taliban/Saddam)

Afghanistan wasn't intended to be a long term fix, just chase out the Taliban, kill Osama, and let the Northern Alliance take over. That didn't work out so well. Nation building is also a lot easier when the nations were already global empires; Afghanistan is still having a hard time catching up to the 20th century.

Iraq was a deliberate failure in this regard, and troop numbers were kept deliberately low to more easily sell the operation to the public.
Price tracking apps for Apple devices
AppRaven is my very first mobile application. I have been using many similar price tracking apps for Apple devices, like AppZapp and AppShopper, but none of them fulfilled my needs. So I decided to create one myself! AppRaven users can track their apps easily, create their own collections, save money on daily sales and price drops and recommend apps to each other. This is what makes AppRaven unique and I am very happy I can share my app with you! I have developed my first server in Java and learn Swift from scratch to make the client side. Any support or feedback from you is greatly appreciated.

Yes, terrorize.

The idea is to make illegal lawsuits against people who broke no laws, so as to set an example for other people who are thinking about quiting.
Makes you wish there was whistleblower and non-compete lawsuit insurance you could buy.
We have a large client/customer in Illinois who has decided against using our voice sdk in their iOS/Android app because of the fear of getting sued for BIPA violation. It's not that they think we're creating voice prints without consent, it's just that their legal team has warned them that if they get sued, it could be very costly to defend. We even changed our privacy policy to note that "biometrics" are not obtained, and even went to on-device speech recognition apis provided by Google and Apple.
There is a great example of this in Buffy where they obsolete themselves. In one of the earlier episodes (where a demon is scanned into a computer and activated) they call one of the characters at home, and the phone connects, so they no she isn't online.

In one of the later episodes a character has just left the room and as they are about to call him, the camera pans to his seat where he has left his flip-cell phone.
I agree with your call to study logic. There is something systematically empirical about logic & epistemological philosophy[1].
Over the years,I have read a bunch of critical thinking books and have found myself wanting something at a lower level of abstraction. A recommendation based on recent reading would be "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding"[2]

If only there was a body of scholarship that we could look at to discern what their intent was.

I'm being glib, but your broader point is right - Jefferson was skeptical of permanency, but other Founders weren't. I also think Jefferson was just wrong. One of the things that needed to be balanced or accounted for was figuring out how to provide a sense of stability, which the Monarchy had done previously. I am super skeptical that the US would have survived as long (or survived the Civil War) if the Constitution went through a re-write every generation. There's no way to have any sort of long term vision in this scenario.
The way you asked the question suggested you were trying to find alternative methods to track people. That implies the method of tracking (cookies) was the problem rather than the tracking itself. My response to that is tracking people isn't something that should be done to begin with. People should not want to track others. It should not be possible to track people in any way, let alone make any money from the practice.
>When I drink tea, I have shaking hands, especially with the bottled ice tea from the supermarket

Could be the tons of sugar? Or other artificial crap?

>Let's say I wanted to change from coffee to another hot but not sweet beverage: which one?

Tea is great and has health benefits.

The tea in "bottled ice tea from the supermarket" is not representative.
ES6+ is the way to go; with Babel transpiling and adding shims if backwards-compatibility if needed. These utility libraries will spread throughout the codebase and are very tricky to remove once they become obsolete. They often have subtile differences in behaviour to the ES6+ native constructs that further complicates removal. Babel on the other hand can eventually be removed somewhat easier, since you've been writing pure ES6+ anyway.

Alright, technically it was only settled, but I'm referring to:

Wow, thats an incredible statement to not be backed up with any sources.

I vehemently disagree; racism is at its worst when groups who are institutionally powerful use racism to oppress groups with relatively little institutional power. To assert otherwise is to be willfully blind to the lived experiences of people who are oppressed, at best. I won't go into what it suggests at worst.
Last time I checked (maybe a month ago) there was no way to install Firefox on the latest version of Raspbian, as Mozilla doesn’t ship a binary and there wasn’t anything in the repo. The foundation had to ship Chromium on the default image (which is really bad on a low resource device).

I imagine since Canonical and Mozilla are still really good friends, they must have it in the Ubuntu repo for Pi/arm. Alas, I’m not at my pi right now or I’d download the image.
You don't see it happening (much) because we have a secret ballot. If I really care about Proposition 1234 I can sell my vote to you, collect the fees, and still vote however I want. There have been cases where someone felt compelled to vote for something they didn't want because they didn't want to be seen voting the other way [their boss would fire them, or such situations], thus we no longer allow anyone to find out how an individual voted.

A union could ensure better QOL for tech workers by:

1) capturing more of the value the workers create for them, vs. for capital, in direct dollar compensation or in other benefits, by bargaining from a much stronger position than individual workers, and

2) providing easier and more even access to counsel, support, and protection against all sorts of personal and professional abuses, at work,

Where #2 is a bucket that holds a whole bunch of really nice stuff, including ensuring management doesn't fail to provide what was won in #1 in lots of small ways that aren't worth fighting for an individual but are for a larger group.

Basically the same core things any well-functioning union provides.
I wanted to be a garbage man because the guys ride on the side/outside of the truck. What other reason can there possibly be? :-)
I may have misspoken and should have left out "amortized," perhaps. It doesn't sound like you're familiar with incremental resizing or other real-time techniques?[1]

> Some hash table implementations, notably in real-time systems, cannot pay the price of enlarging the hash table all at once, because it may interrupt time-critical operations. If one cannot avoid dynamic resizing, a solution is to perform the resizing gradually.

Also, by sending other peoples resumes, aren't you doing the job the recruiter is being paid to (or at least part of it)?
Kind of. I'd say it's more than you are making an assertion of fact (conclusive truth) based on anecdotes that consider an insufficient number of variables and samples.

If you were instead expressing an opinion I'd have no complaint. Perhaps I've misinterpreted you?

It's also nice to have the exact same setup on your iot box and your main PC.

Levandowski was a different ballgame entirely; him leaving to "found" Otto only for it to be quickly purchased by Uber for an obscene amount of money is something he organized ahead of time with Kalanick. There was also ample forensic evidence that he took large amounts of proprietary data from Waymo.

In the absence of blatant coordination with Kalanick, I think Levandowski would have walked.
>"but it's much harder to let that same network know that you're no longer interested for whatever reason."

Yes and no. As a best practice, for a SaaS product I marketed I would always build exclusion lists (ideally ones that auto-updated based on syncing with our funnel data) to stop showing ads trying to get people to buy who were already paid subscribers.

eCommerce obviously has different challenges, and the effort to create those synced exclusion lists may not actually be worth the performance improvement at scale. But it is certainly possible when an advertiser has both sales data and ownership of the retargeting lists.
Yep! And this a pretty specific design element that I don't think gets appropriate attention when introducing GCs as a concept. There's a big difference between saying malloc vs. gc is doing "more work" or "less work" implying faster and slower.

Doing more work but elsewhere can (possibly) make your program faster. GC's often eat more CPU and RAM which hurts when you need more of either. But C/C++ can occasionally put malloc pressure on your critical path hurting you when you have plenty of resources where a GC might actually help you.

If it was any simpler it wouldn't be so damn interesting and fun.
Perhaps, but that's my point with regard to the parents claim that 1-2 per day is definitely alcoholism. It may be for some people. Someone drinks 2 large vodka drinks, they are alcoholic. 1-2 glasses of wine, probably not.
This is not illegal in the state of California.

California laws protect these actions. A "conflict of interest" is not illegal in California, lol.

This "absurd" is a common knowledge since we started doing DNA testing. Each and every time the DNA tells us that the subject has twice as many female ancestors than male ancestors.

This is science, DNA testing. There is buch of research done in this regard. Just google it up. The reason you didn't hear about it even though the genome has been decode for more than 15 years now? Well when science doesn't play well into the current marxist idea of society, somehow we just call it "absurd" and turn our backs on it. Sad.
> trumped-up accusations

So are you alleging that this...

...is trumped-up? I have not seen any articles which dispute that these fired employees were basically tracking other employees work activities.
I would say that Wickard v. Filburn is a better example of a coup de grace. Setting up a social security program at least has some reasonable relationship to "provide for the general welfare". But growing food on your own land for your own consumption has no reasonable relationship to "interstate commerce".
Hey! I'll jump in here. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and a willingness to grow from your missteps.

Areas to grow would be
1. Learn how to negotiate.
a. I had a friend convince me to code out an online store for them. A month and a half in they changed their mind and I had a 80% complete site with 100% useless code and I get $0 for my late nights and dedication. Fail. Never again. No free code.
2. No friends & family discounts (you're a highly skilled doer... Don't get short changed)
3. Crank out the skeleton of the product and get customers using. Always MVP.
a. Friend: "I have this great idea" Me: codes big projects with half way fleshed out functionalities, but unusable as a whole Project: slows to a stop and dies with 0 customers and 0 motivation. Done this twice. Rookie move. Don't waste your time making things pretty before you make them work.
4. Don't be just a code monkey, learn the business and if you are a co-founder grow out of the "just dev" role.
a. As devs, we are really capable at technical skills and awful as negotiating deals, getting clients, understanding business needs and such. One of my co-workers gets paid 60k and works overtime with no additional compensation.. he made the business owner 1.6 mil last year. No bonus, no raise. He sees none of that. Out grow the dev role, my friend.

But at the end of the day, despite what feels like a fail or a lack of wisdom, take a little self assurance in the fact that you did a thing and you tried something and saw it through. Now just learn and do it again. Best of luck man

Yes, talk to your manager. They will hopefully either mentor/coach you and/or find people to do it.

If you don't let them know, once a manager role opens in your org, even if your name comes up as a potential person, anyone else who has asked for it and is being groomed to become a manager will probably get ahead of you. So, be that person instead.

Yes, the n-word is far worse than anything a black person can throw at me (I'm white), but it's still racist to 'call out groups'.

It seems the staffer had some trouble understanding that - I would have maybe just tried to explain it to them.

But it's really weird they don't get that.

Just like Trump I think is influencing people to maybe say nasty things about immigrants etc. I think Jezebel, the Guardian, the Daily Beast are making it seem completely normative to 'call out cis white men' for whatever. It's 'normative' in these publications to attack a specific group. I personally don't mind if there's thoughtfulness or nuance, but usually there isn't and it amounts to casual bigotry.
Yep, Apple, along with Google, Adobe, Intel, eBay, Intuit, Pixar and Lucasfilm[1] all colluded with each other not to hire each other's employees, effectively depressing workers' market value.

In California non-compete agreements are severely restricted and much less enforceable, and that's one major reason Silicon Valley is in California and not elsewhere, as so many semiconductor companies were started by people jumping ship. That's one reason why, for anyone who wants to get some experience in a major company but has dreams of eventually starting their own company, California may be a better place to be despite the high cost of living.

Sure, and not all are subsidized by the German government. Just as there are French, Japanese, even Swedish schools in various countries all over the world. There are "international" (English as language of instruction, sometimes foreign funded) schools and universities around the world too.

Some are used by business people moved over for a couple of years concerned that their kids won't be able to pass the exams etc if they get out of the "home" system (though I figure if you're only visiting for a couple of years why not sample the local system..though in California that's pretty dire). The other reason is the opposite: the kids are integrated to be able to do things like little league or whatever but need to get some "home" education so they'll be able to move back.

If you live in Palo Alto there are even two German ones close by: one just across the north border in Menlo Park and one immediately south in Mountain View.
What's to understand? Politicians (even people pretending to be one) have two sides to their mouths and they are constantly talking out of both.
Isn't it time to consider writing a new Constitution then?

Most countries have had "a few" (2, 3, 4...) since the inception of the formalized idea. We now know how to draft "good enough" Constitutions by common standards (relatively to history and other countries).

It's a famous US peculiarity in Constitutional Law studies: to have gone the amendment path for so long. To have been so resilient to epochs, to change, to greatness. And yet as of the 21st century, it shows elements of "unfairness" and approximation that seem hard to sustain further, to "sell" to the masses for much longer, or so it seems from a nerdy-law standpoint.

There's evident success but it may have been at the expense of a significant degree of actual democracy — as you suggest for the judiciary branch: this infringes on the legislative branch in this case, and outright fails the accountability check absolutely required from lawmakers. By comparison, judges are elected in the US system, which is accountability put in place to counter or mitigate their ability to make the law by way of setting precedents, giving citizens an indirect say in the matter.

I don't know. I've always pondered on this question. I observe tension rising in this direction over the last 20 years (since Bush Jr essentially). Maybe it's just my personal bias speaking — no wonder a programmer sees the law as inneficient code to be refactored asap! ;-)
> the constitution should be rewritten every 19 years

No, he did not. He thought that the government should work on cycles of 19 years, which could include re-evaluating the Constitution, but focused mainly on extension of debts, term limits, governmental ownership of land. The "Jefferson thought we should rewrite the Constitution every 19 years" trope is used to launder disliking a Constitutional provision but having no way around it but to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

EDIT: changed "and has" to "but having"

Love the tool there are a couple of downsides:

1) Doesn't work with powerpoint if you have to use that

2) There's no "pause" point. A lot of time you want to have the command play to a certain point but then cause until you click "next" so that you can explain things to the audience before continuing on.

3) End up having to fiddle a lot with the JSON so the timing feels decent vs me copy/pasting into it and hitting enter.
