> In general, I rely on lots of people. But for the most part, I choose who I rely on, and in some cases the set of people I rely on changes over time. I value that choice and the freedom to change.

You don't have as many choices as you think, many of the choices that you do have are meaningless, and many of the choices you can make are only possible because of the particular level of wealth, power, and social standing that you currently have.

If I'm unhappy with the scummy behaviour of a credit rating agency, my only recourse is to cut off my nose to spite my face. (Opt out of credit entirely.)

If I'm unhappy with the scummy behaviour of my bank, I could switch to a competitor, which has the exact same policies, that bring about the exact same outcomes as the one I'm currently with.

I could move to a different city, and the players in this game will change, but the rules, and the outcomes, will remain the same.

Even when you have actual freedom to choose (Do you want to buy unorganic poor-person kale, or fully-woke, hand-raised, cruelty-and-gmo-free, organic kale?) - your choices are highly constrained by powers and circumstances you have absolutely no control over - and by your current personal level of wealth and status.

Someone with cash in the bank, in-demand skills, useful connections, and no debt hanging over their head has the choice to tell an unreasonable boss to back off. Someone without that level of wealth, power, and status doesn't have a meaningful choice in this regard. (And, ironically, are more frequently in a situation where they have to make that non-choice.)

Male-oriented by chance or choice? The argument for the latter appears to be the same as a female-only space.

People are generally more comfortable around their own sex. A male-only space isn't anti-female because it caters to the needs of men exclusively and vice-versa.

Well that's the current standard model so that's understandable. But I think consumers, especially early adopters and even Apple execs, are becoming conscious of the need and demand for privacy.

If I was a VC I'd be looking for someone to invest in which offers both modern digitized equipment without the total privacy/security sacrifice.
I have a whole-home water filter, and fill up a jug from the tap that sits inside my fridge until I'm thirsty.

I have never understood why people take extra steps, have extra inconvenience, and have more expensive, harder to replace items just for the sake of saving, what, fifteen seconds filling up a pitcher?
Probably learning to use a debugger and decreasing my reliance on print() statements. It's a nonzero initial investment but saves time in the long run.

At the team level, probably CI/CD. It forces us to break the monolith into digestible chunks and makes regression testing easier.
- EPIRB = Fixed unit, installed on a boat. Water activated.

- ELT = Fixed unit, installed on an airplane. G-force activated.

- PLB = Handheld unit for individuals. Manually activated only.

They're all the same technology, but the form factor differs depending on which term you refer to them by.
And there's basically zero overlap between 23andMe's test method and the clinically useful tests that a doctor would order.

For example, carrier screening, to see if you and your partner both carry recessive variants that may result in a rare genetic disease in some of your children: impossible with 23andMe's setup, but useful to a huge number of couples, and already common practice for some ethnic groups.
That's why I included a reference to his job title here. When this country's intelligence agencies are looking to "professors of marketing" for new ideas to reduce terrorism, this is exactly what they should expect to land in their taxpayer-installed stainless steel toilets.

Apparently no one on the government side ever received the memo about the "replication crisis" that afflicts so much of what is passed off today as "research" in the field of psychology.

In which case, the gullible suckers on the government side provided the perfect audience for this snake-oil selling salesman. The fact that MIT and the defense contractor were only guilty of "marketeer-ing" here (rather than racketeering ... think Jeffrey Epstein, the underage girls that were trafficked to MIT professors, and the thank-you notes from the MIT administration) is probably why this "bad act" on the part of MIT and the defense contractor received far less media attention.

When people plain-language declare things as "safe" or "unsafe" it's clear they don't have a background in technical risk assessment.

When people call 5G "safe" or "unsafe", it's clear they don't know about radiation effects on human health. The correct answer is "we don't have data".

Edit: The fact that people would rather make fun of me and imagine me as an "non-ionizing radiation tin foil hatter" (I am not, non-ionizing radiation has no negative long-term health effects) I hope is a demonstration of the power of one's own biases and forcing it onto a stranger to fit one's own convenient worldview.

Yes, that sounds about right.

There are not a lot of people who can do crypto well, and they tend to be too weird to make good government or megacorp employees. The NSA will have people capable of doing it, but they undoubtedly have more important things to do than write a chat app.

They could hand a billion dollars to Microsoft or Amazon, who would happily take it, but would that produce a better result? Or any results at all?
Hey, I just talk to myself ;)

There are a number of robotics companies (Savioke, Fetch Robotics, Bear Robotics, MiR, to name a few) that are producing robots that are currently doing work in the real world. I will fully grant that those all require in-advance mapping and fairly level floors, but to me that can fit "real life situations".

Note: I have worked at one of those, and got an offer at another.

Ad-blockers (like uBlock Origin) and pi-hole operate on two different levels.

The ad-blocker prevents your browser from ever requesting data (like the ads) from the place they come from in the first place.

Pi-hole on the other end works with DNS, or the Domain Name System. You set it up so your router sends all DNS traffic to the pi-hole, which will then drop any traffic that has a domain name it has blacklisted. So it only kicks in if something on your network actually requested something from one of those blacklisted domains.

It comes with many domains already included, but more can be added fairly easily and large user-made lists and regexs exist to expand it.

Ad-blockers can be used on mobile versions of browsers (like Firefox for Android) but for people using mobile apps (like the Youtube app) having a pihole is a lifesaver.

Excellent New Yorker piece about this (I submitted it to HN when it came out but it didn't get any traction):

Fascism is gaining in many parts of the world today. But the 'other' this time aren't Jews, they're Muslims.
I can't say I've read any of those books. I can say though that as someone who is more conservative working in tech living in New York City, this doesn't match my daily experience. Pretty frequently, I hear flippant remarks where people assume that everyone else in the room must agree with a particular view or else must be an idiot. And my experience from trying to break out of my bubble by reading left-leaning material is that even if there are examples of books out there in which a leftist tries to explain conservatives to other leftists, they seem to have little impact on the general discourse.

I don't think it's a simple case that the Overton Window has moved to the right. When one reads for example the Democratic party platform of the 1990's, many of the proposals are more similar to what some Republicans argue for today.

In any case, my point is: maybe conservatives are to blame. Conservatives are roughly half the country. If the author wants to make some change, he'll half to convince at least some of that half. Speaking only to the favored half won't change anything.
Being diagnosed with all of those things -- doesn't it seem like a pharmaceutical spiral brought on by a sick process? Ever since my sister was misdiagnosed with a handful of labels and put on a handful of drugs which subsequently ruined her life for a very long time I've been interested in looking at alternatives to the pharma status quo. I read Lost Connections by Johann Hari recently and it was remarkable. The chapter on how people with similar diagnoses radically improved by joining a gardening club (reconnecting with others) makes the book worth reading, but it goes into much much more. It's worth looking up.

You can use Quicken. It is a desktop software and does not store your data/password in the cloud.

IF for some reason the sign is backwards, open a support case with them, tell them they are interpreting the data wrong, and after spending a little time convincing level 1 and 2 support you arent wrong, they forward your call to engineering. In my experience, everything ive ever reported to them about them incorrectly ingesting data, gets fixed. (not always super promptly, but they fix it.)
No. You need score voting, STAR voting, or approval voting for that.

I hope by the length of my next sentence I'll be worthy of some small part of the praise you're giving the Seattle Times here :-)

It seems to me that the only difference between an exit poll and a voluntary disclosure checkbox which, if utilized by a statistically significant portion of the electorate, could be leveraged by official government commissions to audit election results where online voting is offered is that one these options is in the price range of the national parties and not publicly disclosed and the other strikes fear into the heart of everyone I've spoken to involved in election process.

Voluntary disclosure doesn't have to be a slippery slope and I firmly believe can and will lead to more fair and equitable access to the voting process and greater participation if it enabled online voting to be audited.

No one believes that large numbers of people will be blackmailed into disclosing their vote and if this or discrimination happens at scale then make it explicitly illegal. For those who aren't subject to these factors and are willing to participate in a census it would completely change how elections are run for the better.
I don't disagree, but i've been in the room when people make absurd decisions like this and need to be discouraged to make a more rational decision. On that basis, I'm just saying perhaps they're not evil, but they're certainly not trying very hard and potentially not smart either.
It doesn't seem very accurate, there isn't close to enough Electron hate whenever it is in the title.

This is pure gold though:

I'm 34 and I am finally meeting a psychiatrist soon for what I suspect has been ADHD all along. I do not suffer from depression or anxiety (to my knowledge).

I have a perfectly healthy lifestyle - I run 5 days a week, about 40 miles total, eat healthily and sleep well. During my runs (which physically feel painful) I have few moments of clarity in my head. Other than running though my mind has a thousand thoughts all at once that I cannot control...

I tell a story, interrupt myself, get 6 levels deep and then essentially have a stack overflow and can't recover to my main point that took me down that spiral. Nobody can follow my thought process. What I do know is that my mind is stimulated by strong feelings.

I sit at my desk to do work, notice a story about the DOT / airlines soon banning ESAs and proceed to research the legal authority according to the ADA and other provisions in U.S. Code.
I waste a lot of time thinking about the stuff I need to do, but I can't get myself to do it. So I don't do anything that is fun for me, nor the work I need to do itself. Only under immense stress due to deadlines (and the potential negative consequences of failing to deliver) I can force myself to crank out work that is of reasonable quality. This is how I went through all of high school and college for example. I was completely sleep deprived as a result.

Never in my life have I been able to finish reading a book for school - I'm bilingual (learned English as a second language), but this isn't a language problem for me. I simply don't know what I read at the top of the page when I get to the bottom. I read incredibly slowly (I have to imagine hearing someone speak the words - this is called subvocalization). If I focus on reading for fun it will probably take me 3-4 months to get through one fantasy books. If I can read 3 books in a year I had a very good year.

At a dinner in a restaurant I cannot pay attention to my friend (or date) in front of me, because other conversations around me draw in my attention and trigger my brain when interesting subjects are raised.

I am not able to focus without extreme stimulation and am completely at the mercy of my brain / mind. This means I can't listen to people well, I get impatient and interrupt people at inappropriate moments.

Yes I'm high-functioning and I do well, I have a crazy amount of energy, but this isn't a healthy way to live. I am not lazy, but my mind is. I am convinced I'm only operating at 20% of my true cognitive potential and output potential.

For these and many more reasons I will be seeking diagnosis for ADHD (or ADD?) soon.
Yep, depends on the state though. Can also affect your insurance rates too such as car insurance, not sure if other types of insurance use it as an indicator but wouldn't surprise me.
Unfortunate for people over there that technological progress has to be stifled so. At least it might mean more jobs for us outside the EU.
I generally agree but would like to add the old notion that being unhappy in a bad situation is normal. Feeling upset at a violent status quo even though you're not the direct target of that violence is normal and evidence of empathy, which is good. Ultimately we need to come to terms with the objective reality that not all problems can be solved individually: some require collective action and solidarity.
I was making more of a linguistic observation. Somehow, every time I address the concept of "whataboutism" in itself, I get downvoted into negative double digits and flagged. That rejection of discussion in itself is an interesting phenomenon! I never get into whether any particular rhetoric is or is not whataboutism... I concluded long ago that any appeal to logic or consistency can be so condemned.
In software engineering, I think "unconditional faith in a single technique or technology" is a good sign of overconfidence in one's knowledge or ability. This certainly applied to me when I was younger. Engineers who go all-in on a specific technique will have really inconsistent results: some projects will go amazing because the technique was the best option. Some projects won't go so great because the technique wasn't the best solution.

A good sign of maturity is when they can notice "hey, that didn't go great" and use it to inform their future strategy - "technique X applies when these conditions are true. If one of them are false, I'm not sure what to do, but I should conduct more research (or talk to more people) before starting that project"

I agree -- i think in general putting someone a bit on their own, whether they're the first employee of the co. or department, or the only person assigned to a substantial project, is going to make their approach, competencies, and weaknesses clear.

Unfortunately in my experience this often takes more than a couple days to shake out, so it doesn't help in interview / recruiting.
His legal status is "too innocent to charge, too dangerous to release".

The defacto argument is "If he's in Guantanamo, he must be bad." But the courts don't use that argument for the determination of whether someone should be released or not.
You understand the risks, but it's also a bad idea because it's effectively security-by-obscurity. I can port scan your host and find your SSH port in just a few minutes. Port knocking is better but still not foolproof unless you're doing some crazy 12-port sequence... And not having hordes of chinese bots hammering on our SSH port makes us slip up and do silly things like leaving password auth enabled.

There's no harm in having connection attempts on your ssh port. Changing your port will not make you more secure against a dedicated attacker, and you just make things harder for yourself (and marginally less secure, for the reasons you mentioned) with no real benefit.

And like I mentioned in the other comment, just use SSH keys and disable password auth. It's not hard, and it's all it takes to thwart every bot that hits you on port 22. If you want to be more hardcore you can run fail2ban or firewall the port down to your country or whatever.

It's the equivalent of "I connect to my host via IP address instead of having DNS records because it'll be harder for them to find!".
I would really suggest stopping that advise unless you're a medical professional, the long term effects should be considered and attempting to be on a methylphenidate for extended periods of time isn't to be taken lightly due to even obvious and relatively minor effects like increased blood pressure. But, for some people it makes quite a significant and noticeable differences and adding to the stigma of taking a medication by reinforcing that it's non-essential will decrease some folks' quality of life.

Presenting information about the long term effects is good and I, especially, appreciate it - but please don't attempt to judge treatment efficacy when, especially in the realm of neurological disorders, treatment efficacy can vary wildly from case to case.

So please do share your story and invite people to learn, but don't council others.
I didn't have an assembler however, so would write out all of the Z-80 instructions by hand on paper...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hand-assembled like this! :) Only for me, it was several years later, on a C64 with 6502 assembly, and I had the extra step of converting the hex values to decimal for DATA statements. Assemblers cost money. And my friends were more into playing games, so none of them had an assembler I could "borrow".
Looks like it works with 4 roads, how about 5 like this one?
Honestly at a team level - code reviews. At least one other developer reviewing every line of code that is written is transformative in the quality of code that is produced. A lot fewer problems, a lot more maintainable.
No offense but that's a pedantic distinction. "Average" is commonly understood to be arithmetic mean.

The point of my comment is that if the compensation is truly showing the average / arithmetic mean, then the data is skewed by outliers. If it's the median instead, they should should say so.
There's room for new products/features. They already offer a second more expensive tier that includes more medical related information. As they do more association tests and the like they'll probably be able to tell people more and more based on their dna.
