Ok well if you’ve done the work then maybe google isn’t for you. But there is for sure another technology company out there who needs your skills and would love to have you as an employee. Also do you even want to work for google if they place such a high value on leetcode interviews? What are you looking for in a job that Google is the answer?
Interesting. And it looks like it's already supported in Chrome and Edge.

A similar problem happens during unusual big snowfalls in the country or in the mountains. The primary roads turn red because the cars are going really slow cz there is 50cm of snow. So maps redirects you to secondary roads, where there is nobody and even more snow.
This is primarily because manufacturing has been moved, and there are no manufacturing apprenticeships.

A low-wage manufacturing job can lead to high-wage automation and tooling maintenance and eventually design positions, or shop steward, training or mentoring.

And “learn to code” should be a basic school curriculum topic! It is well, frankly, disgusting that such a universally powerful, useful and accessible skill has been withheld from the vast majority of students, and now made almost into an “epithet” meaning disrespect toward lower-skilled people. I don’t know any job, no matter how menial, that couldn’t be improved by some automation of it’s most repetitive book-keeping tasks.

What a load of bad faith from Apple to argue "against waste". Their latest Macbooks only have USB-C slots, meaning one now needs to discard perfectly good USB-A/HDMI/Thunderbolt (the last one being a port that they were the major force behind) devices, or at least buy adapters.

My brother remarked recently: "What's the point of having thin laptops, if you have to carry a book-size hub with you." (Which is also the reason people might be tempted to wastefully discard USB-A peripherals in favour of USB-C alternatives.)
That seems a bit rude to me, especially since they

I would like to point out that Seneca was contemptuous of busyness for its own sake. The point is not to work, but to spend the finite time we are alive well. Maybe that includes periods of rest and repose.

There is a tradition of meditation in Stoicism that invites us to take it easy and reflect on what we have, instead of hurrying to an arbitrary destination, given to us by our bosses, or society.

From the same essay:

Everyone hustles his life along, and is troubled by a longing for the future and weariness of the present. But the man who … organizes every day as though it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the next day… Nothing can be taken from this life, and you can only add to it as if giving to a man who is already full and satisfied food which he does not want but can hold. So you must not think a man has lived long because he has white hair and wrinkles: he has not lived long, just existed long. For suppose you should think that a man had had a long voyage who had been caught in a raging storm as he left harbor, and carried hither and thither and driven round and round in a circle by the rage of opposing winds? He did not have a long voyage, just a long tossing about.

Coasting through life is still being part of the rat race - except you run at a lower pace.

The core issue remains: if you don't have a plan for your life, society will make a plan for you.

By making your own destiny, you may fill part of your time with work, but only as long as it serves your purpose.

How good is your idea of wasting time to get meaningful productivity, if you are achieving someone else's goals instead of your own?

Most engineers are 0.1x engineers, just trying to remain employed while browsing a lot of HN. Then there are 1x engineers using the rare skill of actually trying reasonably hard and having discipline. (These 1x engineers may eventually experience a significant life disruption, mental or physical illness, or simply lose the feeling of meaning from the work, and subsequently become 0.1x engineers temporarily or permanently.)
There may be actual 10x engineers for short stretches. I may have been something like this for a short period in grad school when I was obsessed, skilled, healthy and knowledgeable all at the same time. But I’m certainly not anymore.
To me, the coffee price comparison makes your service sound like it's a frivolous and unimportant purchase.

You're better pointing out how much it will cost a business in time and money to solve a problem themselves and compare that to the cost of your product. If you're selling too cheap, the problem probably isn't big enough or important enough.
It is obvious that dates are not natural numbers. What is your point?

The "cup of coffee" analogy always struck me as though it was asking, "Hey, wouldn't you be willing to pay twice as much for your coffee as you do now?" And, well, no. It also misses the mark for anyone who says, "I'm not paying $100 a month for coffee, that's rediculous, I'll make my own.

Now for those who actually do buy their coffee daily, it still assumes Also,it still asdumes a sort of laziness in personal budgeting. If you keep a personal budget and diligently track luxury extras like buying coffee at many x the price if making your own, and a the other little things, then you're going to be very aware and deliberate about incurring additional expenses of that sort. And so if you position your value-proposition in terms of "only a cup of coffee" instead of the value-add of the service itself, then you're automatically poorly targeting your message to the entire population of people that keep careful budgets.

I'm not sure. Are we talking about stories where the author is a genius, or where one of the characters is a genius?

For example, the film "A Beautiful Mind" is about character who's clearly a genius, but I don't recall the script showing signs of its writer having rare intelligence.

Whereas stories like Deathnote have some plot twists that make me think the author is highly intelligent, regardless of the IQ of most of the characters. I'm guessing I'd put a story into this category if there were plot revelations at the end which in retrospect I could have figured out my self, but didn't until the moment chosen by the author.
> > > The researchers found that children who had received one or more doses of an older 'whole-cell' whooping cough vaccine were 23 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with a food allergy than those who had the updated ‘acellular’ version.

Is the old vaccine protecting against allergies? Or is the new vaccine inducing them? My pet theory is that vaccines aim to teach the body something is harmful, and sometimes the body learns to recognize other things that just happen to be around at the same time as harmful too.

Here is a prediction: Vaccines with adjuvants will be more associated with allergies than those without.

I always assumed an average was performed over instantaneous velocity that fall in network segments. So, it would depend on the relative magnitude and the edge count on the graph in question you wanted to manipulate.

Right, but then you don't really have a coffee shop anymore.

I disagree with the posters above who say there's a 90% markup on the coffee. What you're buying at Starbucks isn't a coffee, but a coffee plus the right to sit at a table and use the wifi for an hour or two. And as OP points out, at the moment, this is pay-per-use: when I need a place to sit down for a bit, whether in my own city or some other city, or when I need a table to sit and chat with someone that's not in either of our homes, I buy the right to take a seat for $4. They even give me a cup of coffee to go along with it.

Making it a subscription would completely change the way I related to such a business. I mean yeah, I wouldn't have to drink coffee just to sit down. But I'd be thinking each month -- am I getting a good value out of this subscription? I'd be sitting a lot more in the shop than I normally would; which would mean more regular income for the owner, but less space for random people in a strange town who want to have a nice place to sit for an hour.

$4 for a one-off, no commitment, pay-as-you-go service with instant gratification (buy the coffee, take a seat) seems like a pretty nice deal to me; and it makes cities nicer places to be than if you had to have a subscription.

Well, I am again gradually becoming a pioneer -- after having been a very solid repair/maintenance programmer for most of my career. So the distinction in the article feels artificial and kind of extreme to me. It did a good job illustrating two extremes though, so not complaining.

Reason for my transition back to pioneer is: teammates aren't willing to listen to me and I can literally observe how they paint themselves into a corner, in real time, with front-row seat. And if I even dare imply something like "I told you so" when things inevitably come to fixing tech debt for weeks without meaningful new features deployed then I get branded as non-constructive and bad team player, with them completely skipping the part where I offered help with their concrete ticket (and a small refactoring as I go).

And that's only one example out of hundreds -- obviously I'm not talking about only one workplace.

It got so bad that I started using 1-2h work hours a day to work on my own stuff, or just do invisible huge coding reviews and put notes aside with the hope they'll be useful one day. That way I can't get criticised for being the only guy who doesn't idolise shipping above everything else. I do ship but not several times a day, and I try to touch code carefully.

I do agree shipping should be in the top priorities but it should be balanced with expected future tech debt and the ability to revisit the code months later and be actually able to work on it again. And of course, that never happens. Shipping is always an absolute top priority with zero "if"-s or "but"-s. Sigh.

Back to the article's topic, well, I was just saying that I am one of these people who were pioneers as teens and during their early career, quickly became the trusted go-to repair guy for everyone around because that made money and helped many others, but are now drifting back to being a tinkerer and a pioneer because nobody seems to want to listen to experience.
While that linked article does not directly talk about relay early, this article does: https://blog.torproject.org/did-fbi-pay-university-attack-to...

The article says that they likely did not have a warrant and simply just went and hired the researcher directly.

But fair enough, the claim that hundreds did get tracked down and arrested, due to a bug found by a security researcher after getting hired by the FBI, is true.

People selling zero days vulnerabilities is a major problem to security. Sadly it is something which new threat models need to take into consideration. The Tor Project did change how the Tor browser bundle updates, and I suspect this event did also caused some ripples in the project in how much they can trust researchers.
I find the study poorly done as they only looked at people who took a "Personal Software Process (PSP)" course with an average of 3.7 years of experience.

I would assume that people who are extraordinary good at their job will resist taking a course geared towards beginners, so they wouldn't be counted for this study.
The problem with "cup-of-coffee pricing" is that if I trust everybody that has a subscription to sell to me, at the end of the month I will be broke.

Too much subscriptions is death by a thousand cuts.
>Wouldn't your onion service uptime become correlated with the guard's uptime?

Yes. This is happening on a fairly regular basis. ddos against a tor node in most cases is just trying to figure out someones IP address or guard node.
If you run a big darknet site dealing with things like drugs, CP, fraud, and you want to stay around for a while you need to run lots of nodes otherwise you will be pwned probably within hours. There is no point in doing that for legal onions sites like facebook because everyone knows their real operators.
Now when you run lots of nodes and at the same time a big website on the darknet you are in the perfect position to run traffic correlation attacks yourself.
There is some tutorial available which suggests using some deceptive methods to spoil such tracing efforts. For example when website A is going down you also shut down your site. Or when there is a big blackout of AWS US etc
You’re right, and it’s a good point, but I think you’re too hard on the author and other people.

> the author claims the arithmeticSum method is O(1)

He really claimed that Gauss’ formula is O(1), where it’s reasonable to assume multiplication without a specific implementation is constant. After that he gave an implementation in JavaScript that is O(1). It’s only a larger complexity if you use numeric methods on computers that support arbitrarily large numbers.

> Many people seem to assume that multiplication is a constant time operation.

Multiplication is constant time for the built-in data types, for any 64-bit ints or doubles. It’s okay to call it constant until you use huge number methods.
Thanks. Really good reply.

My response is that I will now be on the lookout for new strategies, ideas.

I imagine some kind of HR, team building, skill training exercises where everyone discovers each other's communication style(s). Most of it will be hooey, but there will certainly be some kernels of truth.

It also now occurs to me that UX & ethnography types could observe users to infer what works. Eye gaze, like buttons, time spent, etc. Imagine building "emotional intelligence" like feedback tools into Skype.

I know it's creepy. But brainstorming might lead to something useful.

Anyway, thanks again.
I'm assuming you mean "population decline due to death of old age and more empowerment not to have children".

Even then, this would only work until the population has shrunk to a certain point. Then what?

Maybe a more useful way forward would be to question if we need perpetual growth at all.

Retirement and unemployment are basically the same in this case. Generally in the US, people do neither, they become disabled. I don't mean they literally suddenly need wheelchairs. I mean that when a large factory in a town closes down, within a year or two, the number of people on disability linked benefits goes up enormously. Then they die "deaths of dispair", suicides, opioid over dose etc. I know this sounds pretty fucking dramatic, but go look it up. Plus you get the likes of Trump elected...

Im all for productivity, but we are very very bad at making sure productivity growth doesn't mean shrinking incomes for the majority. So be careful welcoming the closure of the widget machine factory (or it getting more efficient and laying people off).

There is a rate of population decline that's consistent with economic growth. But its very small.

Three things generally grow economies: pop growth, productivity improvement and technological advance. If your pop growth is negative, you need the others to be big positives. Except that productivity growth is hard to achieve, hard to measure, and (as above) needs a lot of political management to achieve without leading to serious social issues. So you're reliant on technology. And technology isn't really moving much at the moment.

Japan and China have both suffered these combined effects for a while. Falling, aging populations. China has been fine because they can increase both the technological and productivity levels of its economy. It can move from doing things manually to semi automation (now basically done) and it can move from doing low productivity work (putting things together) to making entirely new products. Japan can do either.

Thats why China has managed huge growth (maybe not as good as they like to claim but still) over the last 30 years. And Japan has basically languished.

We are turning into Japan, not China.
Edge cases like this make work (if that is what one calls it) fun, you know it? Not cynical, but rather true joy in a unique and unexpected challenge.
Alternatively, build a team with a mix. Sometimes having a person passionate about process can be very helpful when they have a little tension with the pioneer types.
That's quite easy and there are different ways to do it, the first that comes to mind is using location history.
That's a novel perversion of the assertion.

An author inventing a character can create any character they want. But if you're going to make a remark about a hypothetical person who could exist, don't bound the gender. The two are completely incomparable.

We could keep going down this rabbit hole. Up to you.
