> Of course, due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this means you also get worse distance estimation.

This isn't how the Heisenberg uncertainty principle works. For macroscopic objects, the effects are completely dwarfed by other phenomenon. Keep in mind that Planck's constant is 10^{-33} meters.
I agree with the points but I can't bias my opinion just because someone went to bootcamp. You can find good or bad candidate everywhere. Once I interviewed a candidate form one of the well known state funded school and the person can't even write a for loop.

Also IMO coursera/udacity/community colleges are more reliable than bootcamp.
Getting 2/3 of a large group to agree on anything is damn near impossible. I think the American system does a pretty good job of balancing popular and regional concerns and has some democratic elements that require 50% + 1 and many things that require larger majorities.
To be clear, I'm absolutely not saying otherwise. Just saying that a lot of people at tech companies in general are not coders.
>Nuclear is a strong potential solution for climate change but is politically unpopular. Could something be done to address this

No. There are no political champions for nuclear, and most environmentalists are actively hostile to it. And to be fair, starting reinvestment in nuclear infrastructure in light of how inexpensive natural gas is, would be expensive. Nuclear also doesn't play well with solar and wind, while natural gas is a perfect complement to renewables.

You've lost a Russian IT meme in translation.

We use the verb "to use brakes" to describe that something works slowly. There was a long story of threads about Java performance, until the meme was solidified after the news from 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge (racing competition for autonomous robotic self-driven cars): a car named Tommy by Jefferson Team which was running Java under Linux haven't used breaks before a turn and crashed to the wall at 70 mph, hence Java runs fast and Java doesn't use brakes were both described perfectly by the same sentence.

Yandex used the meme to advertise Clickhouse for engineers.

A valuable article; american media so reflexively reports the 'death to America' line with regard to Iran that it has become a staple of American nationalist mythology at this point.

The US (or more specifically, boomers, who still dominate policy and politics to a large extent) has (have) never gotten over the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-90, when the Iranian revolution took American embassy staffers hostage for months on end. Conservatives still demonize Jimmy Carter over it, mostly forgetting the fact that Carter actually tried a military response which failed dismally due a lack of military preparedness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw

You could see a vivid example of this over the weekend when President Trump tweet-threatened to strike 52 sites of national or cultural importance to Iran 'representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran'. In general, rational factors are an input to policy, but many political currents are emotionally driven, and humiliation is a particularly toxic emotion that Trump has historically harped on; whether that's a cynical populist strategy or a personal hangup is a matter of conjecture. Of course, this works both ways; you could argue that Iran's selection of Ahmadinejad and Rouhani were to a large extent driven by their perceptions of George Bush and Barack Obama public personae.
I agree with your overall point but as a small nit: usually founders hold common stock, so they will get paid at the same rate as employees (bar "acquisition bonuses" and other similar things).
Health isn't a tax as such, but an insurance service that everyone is obliged to buy from one of several providers. Importantly, it doesn't depend on your income, rather your age and health stuff like whether you smoke.
Amusing.

But Iran's options for substantive retaliation are obviously limited. Anything overt would just lead to disaster for them. And indeed, it's arguable that Qasem Soleimani's assassination was a calculated provacation.

So any substantive retaliation will very likely be delayed, and deniable.
Ok, even if “Death to America” is more benign than the translation sounds, shouldn’t we look towards Iran actions more than words?

I'd start with a discussion with your manager about how this system works. That relationship may be the entire key. If someone decides "hey that's too much" it might be as simple as your manager telling them "naw he's good" and problem solved.

Knowing how that works (or just observing) might tell you a lot.

The last place I worked with unlimited PTO effectively worked that way. If someone inquired about what was going on and the front line manager said it was ok, nobody cared.

I too have heard of the "unlimited = no" stories but not experienced them so obviously every place is different.
HOAs are practically incorporated hamlets - local governments. There is a government (board) which imposes taxed (dues) and imposes zoning & other laws (rules), and can impose debilitating punishments (liens) against subjects (residents). Some are little more than friendly neighbors trying to keep neighborhood home values stable, others are wannabe tyrannical dictatorships.

I could certainly see an HOA installing (increasingly cheap!) license plate & face recognition to monitor local activity "for security reasons"; seems innocuous enough if actually used sparingly to help police solve real crimes, but could quickly become obnoxious/oppressive when meddling board members with hyperactive imaginations start "looking for trouble before it starts".

Yes, "HOA going 1984" is not full blown 1984, but it can terrorize & harm locals until they manage to move (i.e.: persuade someone else to move into a place locals are fleeing for reasons), and if less problematic still proceeds to normalize progression of 1984-ish governance.
One bio-ethical route (at least for many of us in the Mid/Mountain-West US) is to use a deer or pigs blood dilute. It isn't harmful for edible plants (you should be at least rinsing your produce anyway) and it keeps most foragers off the goods - minus birds, but netting part of the trees or shrubs is a good way to deal with birds over foraging produce.

If there's a local butcher they're a ready supply of the stuff, and it helps your local markets so win-win. Or if you already hunt for meat (or have friends that do), it's just making sure you're using even more of the animal, so again, win-win. If you don't think that locally sourced meats are ethically/environmentally sustainable then... ummm... /shrug; there's other methods, but none that have been as effective for our plot size.
I absolutely hate reviews. There is little I dislike more in formalized work culture than the annual review process. I recently worked at a place that did mid-year and year-end reviews and it was twice the hate. I worked at another company that had a massive job competency matrix distributed in excel with nearly 100 cells to fill in. I've had managers change my self-evaluations to ensure I used the exact language necessary to allow them to give me a raise/promotion that they felt I deserved. I've also been in the mid-level management hell that is stack ranking where 10 TLs get put into a room with senior managers and argue what order devs are relative to each other.

But as a TL I've managed devs who are eager for this feedback. I don't understand it since I hate it. I also ensure I do 1:1s frequently and I focus on career topics during those discussions. Despite my inability to understand I've witnessed it many time: some people not only want reviews they feel like they need the review. This is especially true the younger a developer is. My theory is that they are still in the after-glow of university and they are used to the idea of regularly getting grades.

So while I find reviews to be little more than justification for adjusting renumeration while providing legal cover, I respect as a leader the genuine need of many to receive a clear and useful performance review at least once a year.

I'll use myself as an example. I live in NYC, my rent is $4300 / month (2 bedroom apartment in nice doorman building on Upper West Side), and I just accepted an offer at a public tech company. My first 12 months should pay me $420,000, assuming the stock price is stable. I'll ignore the possibility of any raises, promotions, bonuses, stock price increase, and refreshers. I'll also ignore the 401k match (max is about $5k / year) and the ESPP.

I'm married with a kid, so here are my numbers:

Gross: $420,000
401k: $19,500 (max for 2020)
Taxes: $143,485 (federal, state, local, and FICA)
Rent: $51,600
Net: $205,415

I'm already really happy with that number, but my wife has her own income, I have a profitable side business, I'll do a mega backdoor Roth and the ESPP, and I expect refreshers, stock price increase, and a promotion over the next few years.

It's a very good time to be a software engineer in a tech hub.
Excerpt, since there is a paywall:

'Politicians bemoan the lack of affordable housing, but their policies often create the problem. Look no further than Oregon, where restrictive zoning and mandates have yielded the lowest rate of residential construction in decades.

Oregon’s population grew by nearly 400,000 between 2010 and 2019. But the state added a mere 37 housing permits for every 100 new residents, according to a report released last week by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. Economist Josh Lehner found that “while much of the attention is paid to rising housing costs, we know they are the symptom and not the cause of the disease. The chief underlying cause is the ongoing low levels of new construction this decade.”

Mr. Lehner adds that “on a population growth-adjusted basis, Oregon built fewer new housing units this decade than we have since at least World War II.”

That’s no surprise since Oregon’s land-use rules have been dysfunctional for decades. In the 1970s lawmakers worried about sprawl imposed strict limits on urban expansion. These urban growth boundaries have failed to adjust sufficiently to growing populations, choking residential development despite high demand. Rising housing prices are the inevitable result of this government-imposed scarcity.

Portland is now desperate for affordable housing and says it’s at least 23,000 units short. But its policies discourage investment in housing for low- and middle-income families. Its land-use zoning is more restrictive than more than three-fourths of other metropolitan areas examined in a new working paper by Harvard and University of Pennsylvania researchers. Since 2017 Portland has enforced an “inclusionary zoning” requirement on new residential buildings with 20 or more units. The city now compels many landlords to rent up to a fifth of new units at below-market rates.'

I cancelled my Nextdoor account in part because I got tired of all the paranoia and inevitable devolvement into political bickering, but also in part as a protest against Nextdoor that they need to police this kind of activity. It was only afterwards that I realized that Nextdoor wants this activity. Like Facebook, they see it as encouraging engagement thus traffic they can use to sell ads.

It confirms to me that cancelling was the right move for me but it also saddens me that we've gotten ourselves into a state in technology where the business model is to get people riled up and then profit from that discord.
I think you're missing the point. There are established norms that are accepted by the industry during negotiations.

Another good example of a firm that is notoriously dishonest about term sheets is Global Founders Capital (the rocket internet people). They are known to blow out rival firms offers financially and then after everyone is out, come back and try to renegotiate at more onerous terms.

Contribute to 401k $19k
small 3 bedroom house for family with decent schools - $5k/month - $60k a year
Daycare $4k/month - $48k a year
Health Insurance, Household Expenses, Food, etc $5k/month - $60k a year
Car/gasoline $12k a year
Assume 0 savings that's $180k post tax
$360k before tax + $19k = $379k.

Wanna save a little bit, we are already over $400k...

... and this is with a small shack of a 1200sq house and 2-3x the commute. It's easy to look at the numbers and drool in the mouth but start running the numbers and it's not that nice for those with family. If you're young and single, then it's worth it. Go do it, rent a room, live like a pauper and save like hell.
Economic sanctions are a powerful instrument but they are only as powerful as much as the people involved care about their economy. ISIS doesn't care about economics, they care about beheading non-muslims and creating a medieval society. Taliban could have gotten rich from accepting mining companies into their country but instead they chose to fly attacks on the USA and ruin their reputation. North Korea's economy is a shadow of the south Korean one yet they won't give in and stop their nuclear program in exchange for economic help. Managing these people requires application of immediate force, aka military.

Regarding China, it is building a monopoly in the hardware sector. It's already impossible to avoid China if you want to build a smartphone. The more this trend continues, the more China will exert influence with its power over that sector. For a military conflict with China, which isn't unlikely in the future, this means that anyone else would be at a disadvantage.
Not quite, at least in denouncing the temple money lenders and similar corrupt practices he would actually be denouncing the Sadducees who were allied with the tribal hereditary priestly establishment, the Pharisees were then the challengers who wanted status to be awarded based on scholarly merit, but the Pharisees survived the destruction of the temple and the Sadducees didn't so from then on the doctrinal (then still considered same religion) conflict with the early christians was between them and it makes sense that this what would be recorded in the early Christian texts.

>That aside, I also believe that I have a right to bias. This is equivalent to having a right to an opinion in almost all cases. If not, please specify the difference.

This is like arguing that you have a "right" to have your car veer in one direction or another. Sure you do, but the point is that this tendency makes it harder to drive straight (or hold objectively correct or valid points of view) so it doesn't make sense that you would want to.

And insofar as these biases affect other peoples' lives (e.g. racial prejudice), part of your responsibility as a citizen means making valid decisions in those areas.

You are misunderstanding, in that the person you are commenting on isn't referring to their data collection techniques. The point is that, once the data was obtained, both of the campaigns used it for microtargeting. The only difference, as you pointed out, is that CA obtained their data in a way that broke the TOS. But whenever the "scandal" is discussed, it almost entirely focuses on the fact that CA/the Trump campaign was targeting voters with propoganda and manipulating their opinions. Yet, in that aspect, the Obama campaign was no different, but it receives a pass.
Fair enough, but as you literally state yourself, the security system does not even help. I repeat, it does nothing.

> I literally have video of the dude grabbing shit off my porch, but can do nothing about it.

The only thing all this security theater does is aiding super convoluted scenarios where your neighbors system informs you to take your package in, if you have one currently out, and are fast enough, and are at home.
In the long run, all this does for prevention is creating an arms race easily won by covering up your face and randomizing routes as the thief...

So: Make a startup selling big-ass secure post boxes. Minimize crime by, you know, education and financial aid. Kill this excessive package-delivery culture which is super damaging anyways somehow. Make the police force more efficient. Make small package-taking centrals. Whatever. I understand. But this cloud-based security is the absolute worst thing you can do.

So what will more surveillance technology do? Maybe the innovation needed is apartment-community style mailboxes or dropboxes where only the mailperson and the tenant can have access, but scaled to single-family-home use.
I used to put a fair bit of effort into curating and filing emails, documents, etc. Over the past decade or so, aside from making sure that I put things I wanted to hang onto over the longer term into Archive folders so they didn't get deleted, I mostly stopped filing things and figured I'd just search for them if necessary.

Doesn't always work especially if I don't remember quite what I'm looking for. But it's overall a reasonable tradeoff compared to filing a bunch of stuff, most of which I'll never look at again. It is a shift in mindset though.
Zed is an idiot. I've read his book when I started programming (eh, decent, not that great) but his opinion on bootcamps is uninformed and flat out ignorant. I attended Hack Reactor in SF and all the smart, motivated people ended up getting really good jobs in big tech and startups. Most people were in this category. The not-so-smart and not-so-motivated people didn't do that well. Go figure. Bootcamps aren't a scam, and they aren't a magic pill. I was making 6 figures within a few months of graduating from Hack Reactor. Let's do the ROI on that - $20k for a $120k salary within 1 year - 6X my original investment. The majority of graduates were in a similar boat. Zed's claim about survivorship bias couldn't be further from the truth.
I was actually wondering about this the other day. So what equation(s) would you use to determine the variance in distance estimation relative to velocity estimation? And it sounds like you're strongly implying the distance variation is immeasurably small while accurately estimating velocity - is this correct? I'm not sure the macro point makes sense, since you could have a large object with only one point measuring it (or more realistically a dozen points, but still far from what people mean when they say macro). But I'm curious to learn more if you can provide the math.
Likely depends on the country - in England, on a house sale, either party can back out after an offer is accepted, free of consequences, until contracts are exchanged.
Reston is nice! Didn't mean to imply that NYC is strictly better. It would be nice if there were even more private-sector tech jobs in Reston, although I fear that housing supply constraints would then push Fairfax and Loudoun county home prices up to NY/NJ levels.
