Getting elected.
You chose the functions that are the simplest , maybe this are the ones you use but there are many more, like do this in JS. i gave other examples like .is("Lvisible") .parenents , wrap, unwrap, and the one I use a lot .css() .after(), .append() etc . and what makes the API neat is you can chain methods where DOM APIs return special collection that you have to use with for(i = 0; ....

JQuerry might not be the tool for your job but this not makes the fact it's API is nicer, powerful then pure JS . check the anti-jQuerry page http://youmightnotneedjquery.com and you will see that in the end you have to reinvent yor own jQuerry
Sure, I was meaning all the structures and algorithmic stuff we do to limit as much as possible straight up scanning strings. I came to appreciate much the work accumulated, layer by layer, in Lucene. Of course you can redo it elsewhere and it's a worthy programming enterprise but often not directly related to what you want to accomplish with your application.

I'd put moral flexibility above hard work, personally. Usually being morally flexible leads to doing less work and lying/cheating about said work wherever possible.

I still think pure luck is up there as well, maybe near intelligence. Not only do the pieces of an opportunity have to align at the right place and time, you have to be aware of them and take the opportunity (the intelligence aspect)... or fumble your way into it out of luck because the opportunity was imperceptible to mere mortals.

One of my old directors played moral gymnastics with everything and was making out like a bandit doing virtually nothing.

Perhaps a humorous example of this: a robot that always wins at rock paper scissors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nxjjztQKtY

There's a fun parlor trick which takes advantage of human reaction time too: place a hundred dollar bill on the table, let the other party place their hand a few inches away, start your hand a foot above theirs; the first person to place their hand on the money wins, and the other party can start moving as soon as you start moving. Turns out you can easily go around their hand and grab the bill before they're able to react.
The classic "But what about...look over there...this is normal...nothing to see here...move along now. "
That sounds pretty cool, though I'd have to think about how such a thing would function with the workflow of my team. I think it could be done though! It sounds like a more reliable way to do shared work on office docs.

I see some issues with it. No matter how smooth you make this, any software with pull requests is going to be considered "technical". Christ, people think basic excel skills are "technical". SO you have to get over that hurdle. But personally, if I've already gotten people over that hurdle, I might as well just use git and LaTeX documents.

I don't know, I think it sounds awesome, but I also think it might be tough to sell.
Yeah this feels like a shot at Unity since godot's target is more overlapping with Unity than Unreal.
I find it highly unlikely that more than 1/8th of Alphabet's profits are coming from YT, so that'd make it a cost center... and I'm willing to bet it'd be deep deep in the red.
Sorry but this vision is totally unrealistic.

You're right there's a chicken/egg problem: no-one's going to use that fantasy browser, because it can't browse the Web. We know this because faster experimental browsers exist, and essentially no-one uses them. Even browsers with tens or hundreds of millions of users struggle to get Web developer attention, even when they're almost completely compatible with the dominant browser and don't require fundamentally rearchitecting, and arguably crippling, one's Web site.

Also, from a technical point of view, ripping out JS and DOM APIs does not magically mean you get a "wicked-fast, private, secure browser". It would be a lot more secure, but building a fast HTML/CSS rendering engine that still has to handle window resizing, zooming, incremental loading, editing and other interaction is still incredibly hard, in fact not hugely easier than supporting JS. (Source: I'm a former Mozilla distinguished engineer who worked on this stuff.) By far the easiest path to such a browser would be to take an existing engine and rip out stuff, and I don't think you're going to end up with something much faster. Disabling JS in a regular browser is going to give you most of the wins.
A step backward. Their democratic and governance system is horseshit.

Elon Musk mentioned having a direct democracy on Mars. Maybe they should take a page out of his book and go look at what the Kurds are doing with democratic confederalism.

FYI: Democratic confederalism is a "system of popularly elected administrative councils, allowing local communities to exercise autonomous control over their assets, while linking to other communities via a network of confederal councils." Decisions are made by communes in each neighborhood, village, or city.

People vote in their own judges and military commanders, and so on, just like in the Athenian Polis (although the Athenians did use slaves for their police force tho).

Either way, at the very least, one would hope a nation of the future would have some kind of system of direct democracy. It would be a great testbed, especially at this early stage, of testing different modes of bureaucracy (automated, AI based, career bureaucratic admin, or as in the Athenians, a required service to be fulfilled by all, much like the jury system).
Looks like an interesting product that you're designing. Wondered if you'd have any need for anyone with devops experience at all?
> Actually using them to buy things is a pain, since most businesses won't accept them.

For me it always went smoothly when buying something that exceeded the value of the high note. Your experience may differ if you buy a roll in the bakery.
I can see that happening for second-hand cars but not for new cars that have to be issued new plates. But maybe things work differently in other countries. “Europe” is not really one place.

It might not be farfetched, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions without proof. People essentially claimed he was bought and paid for by Verizon since the day he took office, before he even had a chance to do anything. All because of what job he had nearly a decade prior.

I would much rather we invest billions into existing public transit solutions as a community. A light weight electric train doesn't need advanced LIDAR + AI to navigate, it can transport 100x people than a single car.
> Not at all. Self-driving cars cannot yet safely navigate complex or unusual scenarios.

That's assuming accidents are caused by complex and unusual scenarios instead of humans being inattentive during routine tasks. If machines fail at complex tasks but fail safely then that's not an argument against self-driving cars being safe, it's only one about their limited usefulness.
He ran because he got free press, which meant free marketing for his books, which meant free money. Also campaign donations are basically free gifts of money to someone like this. He even called his transition team money 'my money' to Chris Christy (Michael Lewis' book which is a very good read).

His inauguration party alone rented out his own $5k ballroom for $150k. He rented his own offices for triple their cost to his campaign. The list goes on and on until you realize it isn't here or there, but all the time, non stop that these grifts are happening.

The bill for golf playing is over $100 million. His super bowl party alone was $3.5 million and even though it was on the official schedule a reporter asking about it was berated for implying 'that the president wasn't always working'.

Once he leaves office the rest of his life will be lived in court.

I think this can be best summarized as "a rising tide raises all boats."

Unions have long fought to keep demand up for specific industries under this exact logic.
> then consider the lower reaction times of machines

Meanwhile, Teslas run into the backs of car carriers because they only recognise the car it's carrying and not the truck bed extending behind it. It might react faster, but it needs to identify the danger first and up until now, it's much worse at that in many situations.

Yes, you're right, once it's safer, it's safer. That makes your statements just as vacuous as theirs.
The better solution is to break off the specifically non-contestable part of the firm (where the non-contestability is often due to network effects or barriers to entry) and regulate it so it has to be run as a fair and open platform. Sometimes this can be done as simply as requiring the firm to use applicable open standards to enable third parties to cleanly federate with its offerings - but the case of a leading search engine and general portal is not nearly as simple, unfortunately.
I put my two year travelling gap at the top of my "work history" section. I listed the skills I learned during that time - I taught myself Spanish, handled tricky logistical situations (shipping vehicle from Panama to Colombia), & learned to think on my feet.

Nobody ever talked about it like it was a bad thing, they just wanted to hear stories from the road! I have no problem getting a Software Engineering job.
> That's a vacuous statement.

That's just your opinion, while my comment is a statement of reality as it stands.

> Evidence would be a deployed self-driving fleet.

This is also just your opinion. Evidence could also be a self-driving vehicle that doesn't drive under the beds of trucks, run people over or is statistically safer than human drivers.

> Now if you want theoretical considerations instead of evidence, then consider the lower reaction times of machines.

Consider the high error rate of machine learning when it comes to novel situations that driving exposes drivers to. Human beings can understand situations they are in and adapt based on that understanding, whereas this generation of ML does not.

Computers have the theoretical potential for a lot of things. The internet had the theoretical potential for mass informational enlightenment, democracy and resource allocation in the face of dwindling scarcity of resources.

Instead, the computers and the internet have become tools of mass manipulation, weapons for totalitarian regimes, and despite an abundance of food, people still go hungry.

I understand that a lot of people are sold on hype, and believe promises that were made, however the results are just not there.
Why does having a big budget or committees make you break back/forward buttons or disallow opening a page in a new tab? In what ways do these even potentially break security?

> The world would have been a better place if Microsoft's latest move was to adopt Firefox instead of Webkit - it would have encouraged diversity in the browser ecosystem.

It would, but at the same time while there's been long-term work at making Gecko embeddable (though primarily on mobile, in the form of GeckoView), it's still the case that it's much easier to embed Chromium or WebKit into a larger product today.

Arguably, one of Mozilla's biggest mistakes was never really caring about making Gecko embeddable. (Okay, GeckoView is now a thing.)
This course is wonderful! I've read through all the material and watched all the lectures and I can say it has helped me tremendously thus far. I'm still trying to master all the tools they've mentioned but I already feel much more proficient with e.g. version control, vim, using the command line, etc. If you're an experienced dev then you might already know all of these things, but if you feel that you have some gaps in your knowledge with some of these tools, this course will likely point you in the right direction.
Is there research into what systemic mechanisms we can employ that would prevent formation of monopolies in the first place? Relying on corruptible human judgment and the laughable political process to apply fixes ex post facto seems like the worst possible way to address these problems. Surely there’s something more fundamental going on here?

His autobiography is a great read as well. It's absolutely incredible seeing all the accomplished mathematicians Nirenberg collaborated with: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-99028-6_...
Documentation of things he's said about the relevant matters, which also happened to end up closely aligning with all of his future decisions and positions as FCC chairman, suggests his loyalty very likely never wavered.
So, the Standard Oil and Bell breakups didn't work out? Do you still have to pay to rent your telephone handset hardware each month?

Also I don't think in this case that the determination that something requires action to mitigate anti-competitive behavior means that the government declares what happens. Not a lawyer, and have not read any precedent but I'd imagine a first step would be to ask these companies about a structure that would work best if business units were separated, with some guidance, rather than some declaratory thing.
It looks like the change in 2015/2016 to reduce card fees, while enabling us to buy a single bottle of milk by card with a 0.2% fee for the merchant, has made things worse for people selling cars.

Instead of a small, fixed fee (e.g. £0.10) it's now also 0.2%.

Are they irreversible?

I've always bought and sold vehicles (or anything private sale) in cash in Canada because I am extremely leery of reversible payment methods where the payment account owner can claim 'fraud' and I'm out the item and the money.

Craigslist and Kijiji (the most popular online classifieds platforms) explicitly warn people to deal only in cash because of this problem.
Show me a self-driving car functioning in the middle of a blizzard and we can start talking.

Southern California and the weather it experiences is a poor representation of what is required for self-driving to replace humans.
It's a pity they're called exceptions, they should be called errors.

Errors can be of two kinds: recoverable and unrecoverable.

Recoverable should be handled by checked exceptions and unrecoverable errors should be handled by runtime exceptions.
Isn't that what we do with building codes, fire safety codes, airline industry regulation, electrical safety regulation, gas regulation, food hygiene, product labelling, site safety symbols, and many more?

Collectively decide what needs to be done for something to be considered safe enough, then regulate that it must be done that way for it to be allowed. Maybe this could be "self-driving car approved roads" and self-driving cars must check their navigation systems and only travel down approved roads. Drivers then get to lobby their local or state councils to make more roads follow the self-driving car markings and signage, and when they have, cars become permitted to drive down them next time they update.

Until people realize that it will be an endless stream of "we just need to fix these corner cases" or put more constraints on the physical world because the cars aren't smart enough.

That is one way of considering trains and trams, and they're good enough to be useful with extreme constraints on what they can do.
Softlayer was great. IBM Cloud is terrible. I tried provisioning a bare metal server a few months ago and gave up a couple hours in. Packet had me up and running in minutes.
Love this. I remember it wasn't until junior year when I was reading about the theoretical underpinnings of the unix kernel that I learned what the pipe operator I'd been copy-pasting on psets really did. I mean, it's great to learn those underpinnings, but most course 6 classes assumed you already knew all these tools... if it wasn't theory, it wasn't their responsibility to teach it.

"Missing Semester" describes it perfectly. Wish there had been something like this back in my day... I remember I felt as if I had learned all the theory behind fluid mechanics but didn't know the first thing about fixing a leaky faucet in my kitchen. Keep up the good work!
One simple and effective policy change could be to forbid bidding on keywords which are names of a competitors company or brand. A lot of marketing expenses are wasted on these types of keywords and only benefit Google but neither the user nor the advertiser.
I'll bite.

> Maintain solid products? Google kills more products than they run.

Google Search, Youtube, Gmail, Google Maps are all amazing free products that have immensely benefited the world. Yeah, they kill a bunch of products, but that doesn't mean they don't maintain solid, if not amazing, products.

> Stewardship of customer information? They're the biggest advertiser and have had multiple scandals.

Do you have any evidence that Google sells non-anonymized customer data to advertisers? Can you cite a Google scandal about selling your data? Complying with subpoenas or government authority notwithstanding.

> Good customer service? Not in this universe.

Yeah, I agree with this one lol.

> Clear rules? Ask anyone that's lost their entire google account, email included, for a BS accusation of click fraud.

Yeah, I agree on the rules being opaque.

> I think I trust my phone company more than I trust Google.

I don't know what country you live in, but if you're in the US, do you mean the people making your phone (Huawei, Xiaomi, ... or you know Google) or the carriers who have been selling your location data [0]?

I don't think people should be so hard on you for your terminology choice. The term "autism" is overly broad. One might be talking about:

(1) Classical autism

(2) Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

(3) Broader autism phenotype (BAP)

If people were to understand you as talking about (3), well I don't think you said anything inaccurate. You obviously weren't talking about most individuals included under (1). As far as (2) goes, well at one end (2) includes (1), and at the other end (2) has a very vague boundary with (3).
I'll echo this, and add in what some other commenters have said below: you might want to consider leading with your sabbatical in an interview. Talk about it in a positive way, and how you're refreshed and ready to come back to work now.
I don't believe they separate it out--which is usually interpreted by assuming the worst.
Crunchyroll’s Universal React Player
Note that Chromium based Edge contains "IE mode" (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-ie-mode) as an attempt to get enterprises away from using IE on the open web (essentially, they can set "all intranet sites use IE" or "these domains use IE", but Edge will use Chromium on all other websites).
Not confuses, just gives fuller picture - the whole deal between old and new EU members was: open up your markets, and we'll give you access to our "cohesion funds" from EU budget. Now you can see who won and who lost on this deal.
If they give you a deal but get you to agree to a higher finance rate, they make more money
These new Epyc processors have tons of memory bandwidth (16 channels) and on-die cache (128MB). They are roughly 1/4 the cost of the Intel competitor product. For certain applications, this iteration of AMD server processor is a game-changer in performance.
> Well it’s no longer Boolean because you now have 3 states for that field. So why not use a char, U/Y/N with the default being U?

Well because instead of using a type that exactly encodes the concept of "yes/no/unset" (nullable boolean), you'd be using a type that encodes "any 1-character text, with arbitrary meaning and most of the values being nonsensical"
