100% agree. Category theory is simply practical and something I came across through a combination of Haskell and Group theory.

I'm not trying to shame bootcamp grads or make any judgements about their skills if that's what you're implying. I think the free market is free to decide what they're willing to pay and we should treat it as such and not be upset if someone with a few months of experience with programming lands a job making more than we do.

My point was that your fiercest competition is with yourself. And CS is a valid career path with a lot of interesting options if you stick it out for the long race.
I used to read RRE as an adolescent and would occasionally write replies to Phil about items he included. My replies were not very sophisticated or well-informed; I remember that Phil would always reply and would never sugar-coat his opinion of what I had written.

One amazing thing I learned later is about the Buddhist philosopher David Chapman's collaboration with Phil when both of them were researchers at CSAIL. See, e.g., https://meaningness.com/metablog/ken-wilber-boomeritis-artif...
Hi. I’m a developer on Jump Desktop. If you’re interested, we have a similar product with no computer limits and it’s very reasonably priced ($9/user/month): https://jumpdesktop.com/#teams .
I'm glad they changed the scroll wheel–it was arguably the worst part of the first one. I have had one for a few years, and the mechanical part that determines whether the wheel is free spinning or ratcheting has a tendency to slip over time, making the ratchet less effective until it is all gone. The mouse needs to be opened up every few months to poke the part back down. This is not an uncommon problem and I'm glad the mechanism has been changed.
I'm on my 9th MX Anywhere(currently on the 2S). They all develop a defective mouse button eventually(it either doesn't click or clicks twice). It's incredible to me that we're now on who knows which iteration of the MX Anywhere and Logitech still uses a crappy 3 cent switch that breaks after 12-18 months. At least their support is somewhat decent and they keep replacing those mice without question every time.
One thing that surprised me was how hard it was to set up https https redirects for websites on aws and Google cloud. I needed too set up a load balancer to do https.

The redirects are also hard, I have a static site using Google storage and I have to create a server instance and redirect from there because it's not possible to do an automatic redirect. I don't know why the big cloud hosting providers aren't cooperating to make full https implementation easier.
I use the Anywhere MX 2, which is quite good, and would love to try the Master 3, but I mouse left-handed. Would love to see more support from Logitech for this mode, even if it came at a premium.
you just described how the market is correcting. Regulators would just get in the way of the correction.
And a fox has every reason to make a "rule" that dogs can't go in the henhouse. That's why we don't let foxes guard henhouses.
Sorry you're probably right, but what's unproductive is people believing the lie that she is an engineer, or considering her role in the company as irrelevant.
If she really was "a great fit for Google" then she'd have realized the obvious fact that her naive attempt to fulfill an NRLB regulatory requirement would be something that should be checked with Google's legal department so a lawyer specialized in labor regulation can confirm that doing what she planned would actually meet the regulatory requirement as well as confirm this requirement wasn't already met in another way.

For example, did her design record sufficient analytics for regulatory compliance reporting? If a regulated company can't verify they did it correctly, it didn't happen. Did it distinguish between contractors, part-time and full-time employees? How did it handle employees outside the U.S.? By IP address or did it look up their country of residence in HR records? What about interns? Did it count these different populations correctly or was it at risk of over-reporting and getting the company fined? Did her design meet the requirements for Spanish-speaking ESL employees based in the U.S. Did her design read-out the text for blind and vision-impaired employees or did it initiate notification via an alternate channel?

In my opinion, she's being extremely disingenuous with her claims.
You can use the word "sane" to mean anything you want it to. As you well know, since you're the one who brought that long, detailed previous thread into this one, the meaning I'm giving it "not based on cosmetic features like grips and barrel shrouds". The basis for my argument is factual, and you should concede that, because you yourself set the tone and expectation of rigor on this thread, and you aren't living up to that standard.

That I'm not even advocating for that particular proposal is besides the point. You accused me of arguing in bad faith, and I am now pointing out that it's in fact you that are doing that now. It's an easy problem to correct; you simply have to say "I was wrong about that, let's move on".

> Reselling unopened clearance items you bought at Target or WalMart?

I object to this because those items may have been purchased from retailers that I do not want my money to go to.

But this, and the rest of the things you list, are actually OK with me, so long as the listing clearly states where the item was obtained from.

kinda sad AM radio is basically dead, since it can be fun making a simple AM receiver at home, it's even in a "fun experiments" kids book I have, I think it's only like, about 5 components or such...
on the other hand, with teens and above you can teach soldering with radio kits (obviously not the first thing, but possibly about 3rd or 4th kit) , some are nice having like, one surface-mount chip you have to figure out too, which would be a nice next-level one "now you know the basics, wanna go beyond that?"

NHS 'over-diagnosing' children having transgender treatment, former staff warn
Their data was using the average high during the hottest month, not one off days. But it would be good to know the extremes.

Personally I enjoy a slightly cooler temperature, but still above freezing. Edinburgh is my perfect climate. August highs rarely above 25C and January lows rarely below 2C. Jacket in winter and a fan in summer are all you need to live comfortably.
I enjoyed that more than I thought I would :)
That's a great question. Are you familiar with the historic treatment of LGBTQ+ folks?
> If you buy one share of Toyota Motor Company, you are now a part-owner of a car company, including all the factories and equipment and supply contracts and whatnot that such a thing entails.

Assuming this is not specific to Toyota, what does "owning" mean?

If I own one share of a company, it's incredibly rare that I have any say on any of the things you listed above. I usually do not get to vote on those. I also do not have any rights to the profits (in the US, but I doubt this is US specific). So in what sense do I own it other than the company writing me a piece of paper stating I do?

I mean, if I'm part of a joint venture with others to own a 100 unit apartment complex, I would expect to get some of the profit, at least. Likely about as much as my ownership stake. Shares do not guarantee this. A company can be very profitable, and just keep the money and pay you nothing, saying that "we think the value of the stock will go up and you can get paid that way."

I'm not anti-stocks or anything - I own plenty of them. But people should understand what they are and what they are not. And for most English uses of the word "own", it is not ownership.
The math is the description of how it works. If you are not willing to accept any mathematical argument as a valid answer, you better explain what kind of answer you would accept as an alternative, 'cause it's not at all obvious that any other explanation could even exist.
You hit on the real reason architects push microservices in smaller companies: it limits options to engineers and to the startup by putting up walls in the form of network rules that are resistant to change.

A startup needs all the options on the table because the alternative is they go out of business and there is no startup. This idea that we can enforce “good architecture” (subject to interpretation) with technology by isolating junior engineers with networking rules needs to at least be more transparent about its motivations.
> I am confident that B) would at the least earn the employee a reprimand and plausibly get them fired.

Yikes! That sounds like a dangerous place to work. If an employee with legitimate, assigned access to such a tool makes a change through normal procedures (not bypassing required code review or anything) and it's still a fireable mistake - well, I'm glad I don't work there.

"Most of us don't need PE / VC like we think we do..."

Don't look at me, I'm not the one you need to convince. That'd be the hordes of newly-graduated who think they have to move to <dense coastal city> to get a good job (although how much of that money will stick to them, I can't say).
I tried setting my parents up with 1Password. I realized that for someone without decent technical understanding it’s easy to get into weird states. E.g new account creation has a lot more friction than I would hope for. I don’t understand why the “generate password” button is divorced from the flow of making a new login. This was before 1Pass X so maybe things have changed, but my parents were so frustrated I doubt I’ll get them to try it again for years.

My advice: if you don’t do this already take some time to get some older folk without a lot of technical experience using 1Pass effectively (real-life usecases too like shared vaults). Take their feedback seriously because solving for them will reduce mental overhead for more technical users too.

A void criticism. Translates to nothing of substance. Interesting in the context of that recording; Ellis (a proven liar who claimed to have been a platoon leader in Vietnam) really has nothing to say.
50% of small businesses fail. 20% fail in their first year.

The real cost of failure isn't just loss of savings. It's potential homelessness, bankruptcy or death through less of health cover, or bankrupcty through student loan payments.

In a functional culture the cost of entry for small businesses is much lower, as is the Total Cost of Failure.

For a country that claims to be business friendly, the US makes it unbelievably dangerous to start a small business without the backing of a significant financial safety net.

Nitpick: in Bombardier's case at least, these were separate events. The acquisition wasn't to deal with bankruptcy (they got a Canadian government bailout for that), but rather to gain access to Airbus's US manufacturing facilities to avoid import tariffs on US deliveries, which became necessary following a Boeing anti-dumping complaint that would have made the C-Series prohibitively expensive to US carriers.

My recollection is that Bombardier made (rejected) overtures in Boeing's direction before the trade spat. In either case BBD has gotten out of the commercial aircraft business completely, in large part due to the cost of developing the C-series.
Former world-ranked youth chess player here. 100% agree with the desire to reduce draws and get people out of opening theory. Not sure though why Kramnik felt the need to invent a new variant when Chess960 already exists, is thriving, and changes the game far more drastically than no-castling rule.

The post reads more as an submarine advertisement for DeepMind (0) than a serious article for chess players.

Nope, I have a social contract with the people around me that I can use that piece of land for a house, but I also don't try to regulate what anyone else can do with their land.

I'd like to see everything in the city rezoned from single family to multifamily with the option for high density. I write/ speak up at every zoning city council meeting in favor of density, I back candidates that support dense zoning, I've supported city lots on my block being turned into low income, subsidized housing instead of a park. My neighborhood specifically is the one in my city with the highest density growth since I've moved here with the population tripping in the last couple years and outpacing the growth of the city by 1/2. I'd like to see more done to continue that trend.

I didn't buy a little house with a garden because I needed a little house with a garden, I bought it because that's what I could afford in the neighborhood that I wanted to live in. I'd have been just has happy in a townhome, or in a multi-family condo, but that wasn't available when we were looking for a place to live.

There's some things that are really fucked up with the way our city's have grown so fast. But I hope that we can make them places for all, to enjoy the same things that I've been privileged enough to enjoy.
I'm confused; is it realistic for any company to deprecate a product with $8B annual revenue? Compare to AWS, it is small but still significant even for Google. Compare this to YT, which annual revenue estimation is around $15B ~ $25B and CapEx/OpEx is supposed to be very large.

> There is an objective definition of truth in any particular model.

"in any particular model" - this is exactly parent's point.

From Wikipedia, a restatement of the 1st incompleteness theorem:

> there are statements of the language of F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F

The truth of a proposition P, within F, means "P is an axiom of F, or can be proved in F".

Saying "there are statements of the language of F which can neither be proved nor disproved in F... but the statements are true nevertheless" is appealing to some 'objective notion' of truth that transcends F.
ignoring the totally insubstantiable claim that facebook ads got trump elected, the alternative is making facebook the gatekeeper of political truth. this scares me much more than six figure ad spends in a presidential election.
Same category: Musk's "The Boring Company" merchandise. You need millions of followers in first place to be able to sell out 50000 basecaps for a million dollar in total or even 20000 not-a-flamethrowers for $500 each in a few days.
Summarized: nobody in the history of humanity ever got wealthy from having a job. If you want to get rich you have to learn how to invest other people's money and make it work for you.

This is also my main take away from "rich dad, poor dad" (the book). It is so simple, yet I was so blind to this for a long time.
We desperately need new blood. If you like outdoor activities in areas where cell phone coverage is poor (camping, hiking, skiing, dense urban gatherings) or enjoy the idea of having unique access to spectrum for learning and experimentation, you need to look into amateur radio.

This is an important issue, though I’d like to present the opposite experience. Only a small fraction of the country lives in New York or SF, but the US is among the top countries in the world for inclusive attitudes: https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/.... For inclusiveness of naturalized citizens, it’s #1 by a large margin. (This is based on surveys asking people like whether they would consider a naturalized citizen a "real American" or "real German" or whatever. For that question, 76% of Americans answered "yes" versus 13% answering "no." In Italy, it was 41% "yes" to 36% "no." Incidentally, also do pretty well on LGBT inclusiveness, having a higher net “yes” score than Spain, Italy, Germany, or the U.K.—which together comprise more than half the EU.)

That’s consistent with my experience as a Bangladeshi immigrant. I grew up in a DC suburb in the early 1990s, before that area became diverse. A few remarks aside, I’ve always felt welcome, including in rural parts of Virginia, Illinois, Georgia, etc. I was on a plane to Dallas a few months ago. My seat mate was delicately trying to figure out my ethnicity. I explained I was Bangladeshi, and he didn’t know what that was. Then we had a very good conversation about how had really gotten into Indian food, and had put together a tandoor. Speaking for myself, I’d rather live in Houston or Kansas City or Pittsburgh than anywhere in the coasts.

Also, where would I go, besides back to Bangladesh? You think the Berlin tech scene is more welcoming than the Salt Lake City tech scene? Maybe people will not say anything uncomfortable or offensive. But a Bangladeshi immigrant can become American, and people will recognize that as substantive and not merely a euphemism. But he’ll never become German, or Japanese, or French. The United States elected a son of an immigrant President. Not just New York and California, but Wisconsin and Michigan and Iowa. That’s never happened in Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, or Italy, or any EU country that I’m aware of.

I don’t say this to diminish anyone’s experience. But I think to the extent that people on the coasts are wondering what the rest of America is like, they get a balanced picture.
This is why when I sent in my sample I used a fake name and a disposable debit card for the purchase. I also got it back when it was $99 without a subscription and I hope those steps are enough for them to not be able to connect my DNA data back to me. Guess my tinfoil hat worked out in this case!

the monitoring and blocking features are not enabled by default.

The pricing model is certainly troubling though.
That’s just one aspect. Then you have to make the internal calculation « do I want from locally today, nearby soon, or from Asia, but in 6 weeks? »

There can also be a sales tax optimization game included. True for Canada anyway.

Then you have a hundred sellers selling near duplicates that may or may not be identical. Do you just buy the cheapest?

Do you buy it slightly cheaper in $AUD from Asia or in your local currency?

I’ve bought bike lights that used 2032s, then the same looking units a year later that had smaller heating aid cells.

Then there’s the lack of reviews, so you gotta détermine quality based on cues. maybe that vendor has sold a thousand units and Ebay links to some feedback for that exact listing.

Vastly differing return policies. And remember: when it comes from Asia and doesn’t work; just say it was lost. When Ebay asks you to return it, it’ll cost you more to ship it back than the whole item cost incl. shipping.

Just what is up with that account that has 3k listings but just 24 feedback?

But it’s definitely cheaper if you can manage all that.

A lot is product category dependent.
Hi, startup here, with a colo and an AWS bill. The amount of time spent per a month on tasks that "AWS Handles" is almost 0 month to month. Maybe 4 trips a year into the DC. Calculating our AWS bill for fully replacing the colo is well over 4x using small 4-8gb instances. Our virtualization hosts(plural) have 64gb ram+ and 24 cores. That allows me not to focus on any scale issue since I can just shove everything into ram for no extra cost. I can buy more DDR3 ram for the servers for less than my hourly bill rate at this point.
There is nothing secret. Bloomberg pays reporters to move markets, not to tell facts. This one moved markets, so it was a good story.

I suppose it has other uses too, like making Michael Bloomberg look good.

Well, sounds like you're trying to abolish free speech whenever it doesn't agree with your politics, tbh.

Honestly, what is your preferred outcome here? What person or group of people do you want to decide which information is "valid" and what opinions people are allowed to hear?

It's not an easy or trivial problem. You're practically saying any ad that during 2016 that said "Don't vote for Hillary Clinton" was an obvious Russian troll that should have been suppressed. Is that what you want?
