In the tests I've done on most terminals it was an organic process.

I simply typed into the terminal and let my brain decide. I spent about an hour just flipping between different terminals / programs and doing a bunch of different types of typing tests. It was very very clear and repeatable to do a "better or worse?" test between them.

Typing fast, typing slow and also just holding down the key (this made the most noticeable difference). Terminals that have low input latency will appear to spit out characters liquid smooth if you hold down the key.

I also talked to some friends who use Windows and we came to the same conclusion in a blind test.

For measuring the latency numbers themselves, it was just making a best estimate based on how I perceive those values. I don't think the numbers matter as much as the "this feels better" or "this feels worse" test since in the end that's the deciding factor.
"Walk around your neighbourhood and take photographs. We'll pay you per photograph. Collect vehicle license plate data..."

This reminds me of communist-era practice of spying on your neighbors for "the good of your country." And, just like this app, the spies received small payments for the quality and frequency of their information. The more things change, the more they stay the same...
I don't read them.
No way that that's legal in the European Union.

An individual might accidentally capture a license plate on a picture they take, or if you use pictures for traffic monitoring and they capture license plates but you don't store the data, those might be legitimate purposes. "Go around and spy on your neighbours for some foreign company" cannot be legal.

> The NHS is going to tell them to get bent, that they're paying the agreed upon price for the act and don't care about the rest of their bullshit, and if they're not happy with it they can close their office.

The Canadian system has socialized insurance plus price controls. But those are two separate things—you can have one without the other. The Swiss system, for example, has price schedules, but not “socialized” medicine.

As to drug pricing: you’re repeating FUD about Medicare. What should clue you in that this is FUD is that, for the most part, Medicare itself doesn’t cover prescription drugs. (Only drugs you get during a hospital visit.) Prescription drugs are covered by an optional program called Medicare Part D, which is provided through private insurance. So yes, the Secretary of DHHS isn’t permitted to negotiate prescription drug prices for Medicare. That’s because that’s the role of the Prescription Drug Plans under Part D. The private insurance plans that are offered under Part D do negotiate drug prices. See: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/IF11318.pdf

> Determination of Drug Prices in Medicare Part D
To bolster market competition and limit the federal role, the MMA included a non-interference provision (Social Security Act (SSA) §1860D-11(i)), which states that in carrying out the requirements of the Part D program, “the Secretary: (1) may not interfere with the negotiations between drug manufacturers and pharmacies and PDP sponsors; and (2) may not require a particular formulary or institute a price structure for the reimbursement of covered part D drugs.”

> Part D sponsors, working with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), negotiate prices with drug manufacturers and contract with pharmacies to dispense drugs to plan enrollees. Negotiated price concessions mainly take the form of rebates (after-sale reductions) from a manufacturer’s list price for brand-name drugs.
And that brings us full circle back to OP.

> You have to be an engineer to understand safety.

You're just restating the same thing without any actual arguments. Why do you need to be an engineer to understand safety? I don't know what magic training or experience do you think engineers get that nobody else does? And as I've already said, it looks to me that Boeing's chronic problems are leadership not technical. Get a leader in.
Many argued at the time that J&J was at fault because their packaging wasn't sealed or tamper-evident.

If J&J had behaved like Boeing, they would have blamed the saboteur, blamed law enforcement, and blamed retailers while gradually and secretly fixing the packaging problem before regulators could force them to do it.

If Boeing had behaved like J&J, they would have taken immediate responsibility, voluntarily grounded the entire fleet even before all the causes were known, and put passenger safety first.
All a puberty blocker does is delay the onset of puberty. They're part of the medical standard of care, and have no permanent effects that require reversal; their effects end as soon as they're taken. The whole point of them is to buy time for patients to more carefully consider their path going forward. They're practically the opposite of "unproven and ill-advised". I'm not seeing the "horrible" here.

But more to the point: the public policy debate about trans people is about whether they can use the bathroom or be fired from jobs.
All you have to do if you say something offensive to somebody is say "I'm sorry, I won't say that again. I'll be more accommodating in the future."

> If your demeanor is always "Everything's cool, I'm taking it all in with no judgement"

No, you can walk away, or curse them out, or punch their lights out. These are all actions that do not imply you've "judged" them for what they do. There are multiple levels of perspective at play, but if you want to read Ramm Dass' writings with the assumption that being non-judgmental is a crock, that's pretty much how you'll come out of it. He was totally OK with that so in honor of his passing I will try today to be OK with it also.
Single payer may guarantee universal coverage, but it is not the only route to achieving it - there are multiple counter-examples among advanced nations. If your goal is to improve health care and reduce costs, you should consider all options, not just the ones that flatter your ideological biases. That doesn't mean accepting clearly bad-faith arguments like "let's abolish malpractice lawsuits" at face value, but it does mean you have to explain why (for example) Germany's multi-payer health insurance system would be unacceptable for Americans. (Germany is significantly more socialized than the ACA, but significantly less socialized than Warren's current M4A plan. EDIT: or maybe not, as comment below suggests, but it definitely includes private health insurers, which Warren has said she would abolish.)
Those all tend to be pretty ideologically homogeneous...

2020 SEO Trends Shaping the Next Decade
The safest risk reward ratio in terms of career development, networking, and financial gain is to work at a startup that is in their explosive growth stage. You will likely get shares valued at some multiple of 100k. Make sure you understand the business and feel confident they will IPO or exit.

The scaling needs, technically or culturally, of a company at this stage are unlikely to be available at a risky early startup that may never see massive growth. At a BigCo, unless you are in infra or deep in the technical stack, many of these scaling problems will have been solved for you.

In terms of networking, you will get to learn from grizzled engineers who were around in the early days, veterans from big companies who have come in to fix the shit that is wrong, and have a front seat to these cultures colliding. Not only that, you'll be surrounded by soon to be angel investors.

I spent one year working at a pre-IPO unicorn and it was highest in ROI for my career as an entrepreneur later and the IPO made me enough cash to not be sweating my rent all the time.

"Trump won in part because his Internet ground game was better."

It really wasn't though.

Trump had one of the most poorly managed campaigns of every kind in history.

It was mostly just him and his Tweets.

He didn't have some giant, coordination 'on the ground' or 'tech' operation.

In a manner of speaking, it was highly 'authentic' however absurd he is in reality, it wasn't any kind of 'tech savvy operation'.

If anything, Trump disrupted the notion that these 'well oiled machines' win. Hillary inherited Obama's pretty good infrastructure, and all of the goodwill of tech people across the land and still lost.

I think it's fair for Bloomberg to want to run an ad campaign, but I think the amount he donated should be public and subject to regulation, just like anything else. And of course, same for everyone else.

I wonder if Twitter and FB could literally attach 'fact check' addendums to every tweet from someone in political office. Here's me thinking it might make a difference in Trumpland, alas, it probably wouldn't.
> 420 was the California Bill for medical marijuana legalization

“420” was established term for weed before SB 420 of 2003 was introduced; the slang didn't come from the bill but the bill was introduced on a timing to exploit the slang.

Also, Medical Marijuana was legalized by Prop 215 of 1996, SB 420 of 2003 was a measure to revise some provisions of the regulatory regime.

That is true as well, but acquiring an ICBM seems rather difficult and once you have one, everyone else tends to treat you as a pariah. If I were building a libertarian paradise, I'd probably opt to avoid the whole issue and just leave the solar system.

China also has "re-education camps". The numbers are unknown but the estimate for the Xinjiang re-education camps alone are estimated to hold 1.5 million.

> It also seems like people in the US to a greater extent than other countries only cares about ticket price, which means that even if an airline wants to improve their quality they can't use it to compete

I'm not so sure people do it any different elsewhere. I mostly fly in Europe and have definitely never considered anything else than price and suitable flight times. I consider all airlines to provide the same standardized service. Yes I'd pick BA over Ryanair, but wouldn't pay extra for it.
For those that wonder: this is (one) of the plots of the "Three body problem" trilogy. It's a really great book, I really recommend it !
When Airbus released the A320neo , Boeing needed to get a comparable plane out ASAP or else cede several (tens of even) thousands of plane sales to Airbus over the next decade. There wasn't the time to design a whole new plane, so they pushed the design of the 1960s era 373 as far as they could go. The details of the "risky" changes to accommodate the larger engines (that significantly changed the planes aerodynamic profile) and attempts to compensate for that with MCAS are already documented elsewhere.

Keep in mind, there is a gold rush for new airlines right now. Africa/India/Asia are developing and are requiring thousands of planes to fill the demand (it's no coincidence Africa and Asia is where these new planes ended up crashing). If Airbus gobbled them up, they'd likely be airbus customers forever, as mixing plane types is more expensive for airlines.

> The beauty of a credit card is that none of the things you're afraid of are your problem.

This is true mostly if it's a magstripe or "card-not-present" transaction, or done online without two-factor authentication.

Otherwise, the burden tends to fall onto the cardholder to provide some form of proof that their card details were compromised.
I know that "conforming" is a short-hand in literature for authoritarianism, lack of creativity, etc etc. But it gained that connotation in a context where our culture moved from a high conformity past, into a slightly lower conformity present. Much was gained when we allowed individuals more freedom.

By contrast, "no conformity" is a truly terrifying thing. Acting together towards common causes is a direct result of the ability of humans to sublimate their own personal desires to some degree and conform. Basically everything humans have accomplished is because of our ability to work together, and cooperation means not acting exactly how we'd like in every situation.

> Judgment has been carefully bred in us,

This is 100% true, but it isn't neoliberalism that bred it into us, it's that successful cultures had certain attributes that allowed them to conform, cooperate and accomplish things. This is humanity self-domesticating, not a sinister movie plot about corporations

> Most business in the United States is done despite of management, not because of it.

I would not consider that so Geographically constrained. to me the most obvious textbook example [1] would be Nokia. I mean, there was no way the top management could have failed in the golden era of the dumb phones given the engineering talent (both for the electronics and the operations) within th ecompany. The single time when top management should/could have shown their value was the time when smartphones came. And they practically managed to destroy the company. I wonder if they themselves understand how literally clueless they were/are?

Ah yes, the good old sprinkling of magic cryptography over your product. I suppose it's all fine then.

Encryption is reversible, the question is who has access to the keys and what data does it unlock.

Also, it seems odd that this is never mentioned in your privacy policy (ctrl+f "crypt" to match decryption/encryption/cryptography, but no hits). You'd think if this is a core feature to maintain security and/or privacy and distinguish yourself from the competition, it would be in there...

This read very similar to the "Three-body problem" trilogy, specifically the second book "The Dark Forest"
Could you elaborate? I've been using it for a decade, for all my projects big and small, and it's been a _massive_ time saver compared to any of the alternatives. It's fast, well documented, and it doesn't rebuild/retest stuff when it doesn't have to. I've also done multiplatform builds with it, as well as cross-builds to ARM. Not once did I have the need for any "upkeep". At Google there was a team to do that, of course, but even outside Google, even very early on when Bazel was just released, the maintenance is pretty minimal, and the build files are by far the most readable of any build system I have used so far in 20+ years in this industry.

I can imagine it's much easier to follow these concepts when you're safely surrounded by admirers.

I can imagine that Vietnamese Buddhist monks of the 60s would share your sentiments. But they, too, could only imagine how much easier it might be. Well, I guess they didn't have to imagine very hard, as it was a lot easier just a few years back. (As background just in case, puppet pro-Catholic government was installed in Vietnam, and the national religion of Buddhism was effectively outlawed, leading at least one monk to set himself on fire in protest.)

I appreciate what you're driving at, I really do as I sit here on my couch in my warm house in one of the most wealthy U. S. suburbs in the country. Easy to do White Guy Suburban Buddhism in that environment. But just because many have it easy doesn't mean it's useless when times are hard.
