>Honestly, how much data would the typical company need to transition off?

In many cases, all of it.

Data retention laws require many companies retain copies of certain types of internal company communications for extended time periods. This is why some companies have policies that discussions about topics such as company finances or government contracts have to be done via more easily archived channels. But if your company doesn't have those policies and you just use Slack for everything, then everything in Slack has to be retained on the off chance that someone discussed an upcoming earnings report in your company Slack.
Felt like this was helpful from a personal perspective. Not sure how many organizations could live up to this level of discipline.

"They" has gotten an additional meaning, it's one of the picked pronouns alongside xe/etc, which is why some people consider using it to still be using the wrong pronoun.

Tesla had the advantage of being the only car company which was 100% committed to electric at that time.

1000 a year is pretty good for luxury eco friendly car in 2009.

Rivian cannot sit in the same place. They have to carve out some market segment that loves electric but hates Tesla or get enough funding to stick around for 10 years when Tesla may be vulnerable to competition.

In 2012, somebody stole half of my life savings.

I was halfway through college (I was an econ major) and had hired somebody to build a website for me. Immediately upon paying them half of the invoice, they fell off the face of the earth and never shipped a line of code.

I was left cash-less and code-less.

I decided to teach myself how to program so that I'd never need to be that dependent on somebody.

I watched hours upon hours of YouTube, audited a handful of CS courses at my university (UVA), and, after about a year, I had become a decent iOS developer.

As school neared an end, a mutual friend pitched me on a startup idea he was working on. I agreed to build the MVP, joined him as CTO, and our startup went on to have a $50M+ exit a few years after I graduated.

Hugely impactful decision.

I'd probably working some finance job I hate if I hadn't made that decision.
> In this case, the complaints against CAA seem overblown, and a lot of it hinges on a slippery slope argument about ”what’s next”, where of course the worst is assumed.

What's next has been plainly stated to be implementation of the NRC [1], which in combination with the CAA will result in Muslims who don't have documentation to prove where their parents were born being rendered stateless. A large number of Indians don't have such documentation, but the CAA ensures only Muslims (being excluded from the whitelist of religious identities listed in the CAA) will be affected. It's not clear what would happen to them: detention centres seem a distinct possibility as some have been constructed and some are slated to be constructed.

The protest are commonly known as the "CAA and NRC" protests, so all this is commonly understood. [2]

> This seems reasonable to me. There’s a pathway for refugees to seek citizenship, based on claims of religious/cultural persecution. Since the majority in these nations are Muslims, it makes sense that they cannot claim persecution under this law.

There are minority groups such as the Ahmadis that are widely persecuted in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. [3] This law would consider them Muslims and therefore ineligible for admission.

The only purpose of the CAA whitelist seems to be to exclude Muslims from becoming Indian citizens. If the law's intent is to help people, it is not reasonable to exclude anyone. If they are excluding people, the law's intention is not what is being claimed. This is why tens of thousands of people are protesting.

Yeah that makes perfect sense, it is a bit sad to hear that even Europe is losing this part of the culture. We change with the times, of course... I do agree with your point about influencers moving out of city centers and towards more affluent suburbs, it would be interesting to see if there is a market for this after all closer to these areas. Nowadays as you said though, it’s not likely the ROI would surpass that of a retail location or well established franchise sadly.
Depends if you are male or female?

Female... nah, just a pic will do.
Male... then yeah... full medical records including blood work, good pictures (probably want some cute animal in your pics too!), dating history - preferably with at a couple of good references! income statements, net worth, pictures of your house, job title, height, weight, body fat %, hobbies, shoe size, list of countries you've visited, professional accreditations.

“uggos” is ... pretty ugly in its own way.

There are people whose aesthetic appeal is quite broad. There are people whose aesthetic appeal is narrower. There are relatively few people who are broadly aesthetically repulsive. No one should deny that the former end of things makes a lot of activities easier, including dating... but the funny thing in talking to my acquaintances from the very attractive to narrower-appeal segment is that nobody seems to find it easy.

It’s almost as if what people are looking for isn’t as easy as negotiating aesthetics.

USCIS should immediately deny the vast majority of H1Bs Morgan Stanley is obviously abusing, and should make it a policy to do the same for any company announcing layoffs.

'Analysts' making $75k in Manhattan does not appear to me as a legitimate use of the program - that these low paid positions absolutely could not be filled with American citizens is bullshit. More likely they couldn't find educated US citizens willing to work 60 hours a week for $80k in NYC, with the threat of being tossed from the country if they didn't.

I'd say any visa worker being paid less than what a typical VP makes in the same Morgan Stanley office should be revoked, and fines should be paid. Finance companies tend to be the worst of these abusers, and every visa they fraudulently use means a great engineer is disallowed from working for a US company which has a valid need for real talent.

I’m talking about the quoting inside to implement macros, they don’t allow for generalized run-time code generation.

An embedded AOT compiler is compiling code at run-time, which isn’t allowed without writable code pages (which similarly makes the JIT disallowed as well).

I loved this game! Having said that, the main change I'd make to this and other similar games is to have an option to limit and adjust the number of actions the AI player can perform on each turn. There always came a point where the AI player would do tons of things each turn. Not only would the AI's turns take ages, but on my own turn it'd take me a long time to catch up, figure out what the AI did and play accordingly. Another, additional option would be to limit the number of units and/or cities the AI player (or maybe all players) can build. It became tedious to attack or deal with the dozens of cities created by the AI players.

On a different note, I loved the quotes in the game that referenced a various fictional books and speeches. Something similar happens in the book "Dune", with quotes to nonexistent books set in Dune's future that referenced the events in the Dune. There's something to be said for when a work of fiction makes references to fictional works of nonfiction within the real work of fiction's fictional universe. (Another book that exhibits this is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", a fiction book that makes references to the nonexistent, nonfiction book after which the real book is named.) I like the illusion of that the fictional universe is much larger than I can see, and the desire to read the fictional works of nonfiction the author lets me peek into.

On a final note, I loved the parody books titles mentioned at the end of the game. Has anyone found a list of the original book titles being parodied, or does someone know all those cultural references? I'm referring to titles such as "Boreholes I Have Known" or "I'm OK, You're a Drone" (the latter of which parodies "I'm OK, You're OK". Yet I don't get what book title the former is parodying, and there are others whose references I don't get.)

There's no point in thinking this way and it just creates more stress. Think of work as something you do for yourself. There's no shame in earning a living to then pursue your passions. Don't worry about or compare yourself to others.
Well don't take my word for it. I'm just some rando on the internet. There are positive trends too. Apple sees consumer interest in privacy, for example.

GIMP is just astoundingly bad in this area as well. The hinting is bad looking enough that you have to disable it, and when you enable anti-aliasing (required for decent looking fonts) it enables sub-pixel anti-aliasing too, which already doesn't make much sense since the results are so completely different on different LCD screens, but it's implemented in a retina-searingly bad fashion. I don't know why they don't just use the standard FreeType rendering, which looks fine on my system.

So to get decent looking fonts in GIMP, I have to do this:

1. Render the fonts into a layer with 3x the final resolution, hinting disabled, and anti-aliasing enabled.

2. Use the desaturation filter to get rid of the terrible colorful pixels created by the anti-aliasing.

3. Scale the layer back down 3x to the final size I wanted.

The fact that this works proves there's no inherent reason why GIMP couldn't have good font rendering, but it's been a mess for as long as I can remember.

I don't much care for their term uggos either, it's rather crass. However, the op is definitely correct. By removing photos it removes a dramatic advantage that attractive people have on dating sites. It takes away one of their best matching strengths, one of the core human matching elements, and the one that is often a first-filter item. It is obvious if you do that to a group of people, they will not be inclined to your service: they gain little benefit (if any), and lose enormous advantage.
Yes, it has some rough edges. One lesson you can learn is probably not to write things like this, and just let what you have stand as it is, and incrementally improve it.
Although I'm personally done with dating sites, I'm glad to see someone else had this idea, and actually made it.

But please consider not making all data go through Google (analytics (which can be blocked) and firestore (which is required)) and allow logins without Google or Facebook accounts. Sharing browsing data of a dating site with a third-party should be considered a privacy issue.

I'd look at this as the way to bridging Python toward a more statically analyzed future.
It's a good point - and I wasn't entirely sure what to go with.

In the end, I went with the shorter variable names as they are used in the paper I've linked: https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/PDL-FTP/FS/cuckoo-conext2014.pdf

In a production version of this, longer variable names would be a good thing. :)
I applaud the attempt to innovate in the dating world which tends to be solely focused on looks.

But sexual attraction is an important part of relationships, so going in blind is inherently risky (from a time utilization perspective). With old school blind dates, your date is friend/family selected so some level of filtering is already done for you.

I guess a good portion of dates are disappointing anyway and there are even those that get catfished, so it's always worth trying something else out.
Just because it's impossible for you doesn't mean it's impossible for everyone.

I never subvocalize, and can't remember ever having done so, except perhaps when I was very young. I devour fiction books in flow without it.

These are all things a regular entrepreneur would do whether they were capitalist or not.

Or any of _other peoples' money_ was involved.

Even when the only environment to operate in is recognized as overwhelmingly capitalist, a non-capitalist entrepreneur can still have some unfair advantages.

When you're selling all you can make for a profit long enough, you're supposed to be doing well depending only on business structure after that. Yes, you might have a disadvantage being surely influenced by the forces of capitalism, but it can often be done.

Also without growth as an articulated goal, the pressure of exponential demands can be appropriately moderated and more sustainable growth with better returns can still result compared to alternative leadership approaches which focus on growth most aggressively but still end up wishing they could do as well.

Interested in why you consider liberal fascism one of the best books of the decade - it left me very disappointed. He had me going with how Wilson and FDR were fascists, but then he got to recent history, and used the same arguments to make the case that Clinton was a fascist. I lived through Clinton - that’s when I realized that Goldberg was telling one side of the story - it was the usual partisan BS.

Such a shame to do that much research, and then use it not to inform, but to score political points.
Don't.. it's mostly noise to be honest. There are good financial commentators (e.g., Matt Levine) but most financial news is just noise
It was always terrible. I used to live half a block from my doctors office, so I’d just (slowly) walk then. Now my wife will drive me (probably only need a couple of them a year though).

Basically it just sucked. Especially sitting in the bright waiting room, sweating bullets, trying not to throw up before I was seen. My most serious migraines can last a couple of days, and are just awful. Making it go away almost instantly was alway worth the hour or so of additional suffering to get a shot. I’ve also got a rather high pain tolerance, and tend to only get worn down by pain that lasts a long time.

I don’t know if it would be as effective for anybody else, but if you get migraines that seem worse than death, I’d recommend asking your doctor about it.
Thanks for the guide nonetheless. Going to be refreshing myself on a lot of this.

Alright. I probably would have taken a similar job to the one I actually took 3 years earlier and followed a similar career path the whole time. That is, I wouldn't add 3 additional years of entry level IC work, I would add 3 additional years of senior IC work or better. Right now I'm working for half of prevailing wages for senior ICs in exchange for living in a civilized country, so half of prevailing wages * 3 years - taxes is around $400,000. If I ever move back to the US or get promoted it will be pretty easy to get to an opportunity cost of seven figures of post-tax money for 3 years of math degree.
I'm pretty keen to date someone who blocks Google analytics by default. How does one find such a person? Is there room for a dating site that shadowbans anyone who willfully accepts the current state of surveillance capitalism?

Amazon doesn't make that Kindle $20 cheaper, it makes the ad-free version $20 more expensive, or at least, that's how I see it. That's more about market segmentation than the actual value of ads.

Even if we assume ads are nothing more than an annoyance with $0 value, the "with ads" version may still be beneficial to Amazon. That's if people with a lower budget tolerate ads and those with a high budget don't. If they only sell the expensive ad-free version, they will lose the low-budget customers, if they sell the ad-free version at the with-ads price, they lose money from people who are ready to pay more. Ads here are just a market segmentation tool. Just like it is common for low end products to be the same as their high counterparts but with disabled features.

The New York trains I remember would make sparks all the time; I would suggest any dry tinder near the tracks would be a risk either way.

California has electrical wires entangled with dry trees after years of drought. (Trees are tricky, since it takes years after installation for them to grow tall enough to reach the power lines. In the NE I've seen power outages caused by tree branches laden with ice from freezing rain sever power lines.)
> Do you think she's an actor and/or wrong for trying to make a stand and make people think about reducing carbon emissions?

Clearly her scripted speeches, her constant berating to those in power is not only childish, but isn't going to change anyone's minds about cutting emissions. Everyone else is already developing practical/technological solutions to cutting down CO2 emissions like increasing the use of wind turbines, cycling, electric vehicles etc.

I favor those practical solutions that significantly challenge climate change. Her means of changing peoples minds about climate change are by having controlled photos of her on trains, deserts and crowded buses by her aides which gives me the impression of others puppeteering her message and sculpting it like a complete pantomime.

So yes, she is an 'actor' used by climate change extremists.
I read a book that could literally be summed up in a sentence (it was called "the asshole rule" or something similar, and the gist was "don't hire assholes"). There was nothing at all in addition to that, except for a bunch of feel-good anecdotes and specious data that misrepresented correlation for causation.

I hated it so much that I made a (now defunct) website where I would post summaries of these books so people wouldn't have to be subjected to all the filler.

I noticed they needed eye protection in the lab.

I'd love to see how they avoid needing eye protection for people near the train tracks in the field (presumably some shielding and very careful laser alignment?).

I'd be particularly interested in whether the lasers are safe on overhead tracks near populated areas (certain MTA lines in New York are like this).
