Exactly. And if it can get you where you want to go, you have to transfer through multiple buses or taxis. The hassle kind of burns you out and you just want something simpler. Unlike other cities, there's not a whole lot in downtown that I need to visit on a regular basis. Most of what I want to do is peripheral to the actual city of LA. Everything is so spread out, and there really isn't much we can do to undo that at this point. We're never going to be the pedestrian paradise that is San Francisco. (I don't want to live in SF again, but boy was it nice to be able to walk and take light rail everywhere)

I also stopped using the light rail in LA because there isn't any serious enforcement against people riding without paying or the homeless insane. 1 out of 3 times I ride the red line, there's people with mental illnesses shouting at the top of their lungs and homeless people sleeping and taking up whole benches. The gold line is somewhat better, which is the one that I take every day, but I witnessed enough angry mental patients screaming and threatening people that I just didn't want to be subjected to it on a weekly basis. There were times where I called the police because there was some maniac on the platform shouting obscenities at people as they disembarked the train, and rarely did they show up. One time they did, and I saw them drive him around the corner and then drop him off around the block.

The tools physics uses to measure elementary particles lacking the precision to not disturb the system being observed is a failure of the tools and not sufficient to reasonably imply that human consciousness has anything to do with the fact that observing a system disturbs the system under observation.

Far more interesting and grounded along these lines is Penrose’s Orch OR; consciousness is a fundamental physical structure or law of the universe itself that our brains have evolved to access.
If the goal of therapy is a subjective increase in quality of life, then whether it comes from bias or objective change doesn't really matter. If the happy pills make you happy, it's sort of an implementation detail as to whether or not they are actually just a placebo. Perception is reality when the goal itself is subjective.

Definitely higher than half that. SWEs at FB, Google etc will get >100k. Even aside from that I regularly see higher than half that - e.g random example from a quick Google at 85k https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Salary/Travelex-Backend-Engineer... - 90th percentile of Java roles are over 100k - https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/java.do.

Secondly a pretty average contractor day rate is 500pd, which is over 100k, and there are a lot of contractors. I think it makes eng salaries in the UK seem lower than they are. Many of my friends went contract and would never go back. The senior market is therefore hard to hire for, outside trendy/exciting companies, unless you pay for contractors.

The change needs to be systemic, which is the problem. Logistics, industry and agriculture make up the vast majority of emissions. But for these things to change prices will have to rise probably quite dramatically.

We’ve gotten so used to not paying for the externalities associated with emissions it’s damn near impossible to shift gears. Even at the individual level people are often only willing to do it when the cost increase is marginal.

If we taxed emissions at every level things would get so expensive people would riot.

I think we just have to accept that our society is not designed in a way that we can deal with this. We will have to let the catastrophe happen before there will be any real change. Even then their may not be change. We just have to wait for enough people to die for the system to fall back into balance.
I think the OP's 'problem' is that they do not sit down and have focused practice properly. They are not good at coding interviews, they were not good at math, and freely admits they "didn't study at all". You get really good at things by practicing them a lot, especially math and leetcode. It's not a criticism, as I am terrible at coding interviews and I can never muster the discipline to sit down and study it. However, its not because I am just innately bad at it, its because I don't practice it.

Amadeus was probably more fiction than it was a true story. Mozart practiced a lot.

What if a 'women' has a different internal gender (no offense if I don't know the lingo, very supportive of LGTBQ), and would be more comfortable dressed in a pant suit or even a Tuxedo? Or some other stylish more in-between thing that still looks nice and could be considered 'dressed to the 9s'.

I can see where this could be offensive as some women don't like short dresses, not everyone is comfortable showing off their legs either for one reason or another...

'Getting around the city' culture is just different here in LA. There's folks in NYC who make half million a year and take the subway several times a day.

Apple used to be a rare exception of making old hardware run with the latest OS. Old iMac would still operate fine with the newest OS X years later.
The issue with LA is the low density sprawl. It would simply be cost prohibitive to build and run a public transport infrastructure that would cover such a large area and transport you around quickly. At least with today's technologies and costs.

If you look at all the major cities of the world with good public transport infrastructure, they will all be densely populated. I don't think that is a coincidence.

It seems right to me. It's a relatively small fine; Apple makes a few hundred Euros in profit per phone. I'm not sure how many iPhones are in France, but I'd venture to guess this is less than 2 Euros per device.
I assume it's doing `(N-2)(N-3)/2 + 2N - 3` instead of `N(N-1)/2` due to overflow concerns? But couldn't `(N-2)(N-3)` also possibly overflow, just supporting a larger range of `N`?
Good point. Planned obsolescence has always been a valid threat against our financial futures. Pushed software updates can secretly render IOT devices useless or slow them down. i predict there will be a ton of class action suits in years to come over this, the real tragedy is that bilked consumers will likely never be the ones who recover the loss. It's unfortunately the way of capitalism.

Well... full support for 3.6 ended in December of 2018 (now it only has security fixes), the older versions are already unsupported.

The insertion order dict implementation comes from Raymond Hettinger who is amongst other things a core CPython developer. pypy pulled the trigger on using it first (and probably has optimisations CPython doesn't).

The problem with expiration dates for software/hardware is that it's difficult to predict when they expire. A new malware attack can make an entire class of device obsolete overnight. IoT devices might be fine if you keep them on a private network but expire quickly if exposed to the internet. A device might be abandoned by a company (no more firmware updates) but later adopted by the open source movement and then updated for a decade. Everyone might be using a device thinking it's safe when actually an APT has had a compromise for it for years. Maybe a better solution is the ability to force obsolescence, but then companies might misuse that and it could be an attack route itself to turn off the devices. An expiration date or forced obsolescence can destroy many things that are actually still useful. A companies commitment to provide updates may be some indication of expected life, but is also a guess and how can you trust that small companies (innovators) will be around in the future?

Maybe the solution is the old fashioned approach to hardening devices; keep improving them until we know they are stable and reliable and then keep making the same thing, like old Unix servers. But people like new things and there are always desirable features that could be added. All changes are the potential creation of new vulnerabilities.

The Soviet Union used common parts to make many different devices, which made them last forever because they were easy to fix. But that also kept them from switching to new devices because it would obsolete so much infrastructure and the social functions built around it.

The only long term solution may be to change society so no one has an interest in doing bad things, it becomes boring and unattractive. That doesn't eliminate all risks though, because the world itself changes and can cause new unforeseen problems.

A layered approach could protect devices better, giving them a longer useful life. And if they were designed well (by iterating) to start with, that would help too. A plan for what to do, just in case, might help as well. Risk and cost assessment can help make wise decisions. Sometimes the only solution will be to just pull all the devices and replace them, at high cost.

We're already facing multiple problems along these lines (compromised home routers, bugs in CPU's, zero days, people not updating software) so there is something to be learned from current problems and solutions.

One really difficult problem is we don't really know how to make things that last a long time at a reasonable cost. Have a look at the projects of the Long Now Foundation:

No, the camera that you observe 1 month later would be in a quantum state, until you actually observe it.

It is totally possible that the "problem is on my side" but they still lost my business. There's only so much effort I'm willing to put into purchasing from a company if I can't use their website.

Citation needed. It is a known fact that Shadow is one of the few software contractors that works for cheap for Democratic candidates. The fact that Buttigieg also used them for cheap projects does not mean there is a conflict of interest, and immediately jumping to that conclusion indicates conspiracy-minded thinking.

Isn't it just as cost-prohibitive to build and run a private transport infrastructure? Consider the cost of all the overbuilt roads, the cars on those roads, the human life wasted in traffic...

Yet, LA has obviously done so.

Utter nonsense. Collapse is caused by interactions between particles, humans got nothing to do with it.
I certainly find it a compelling theory, and I agree that it’s probably not testable. I lean toward consciousness being an illusion or simply non-existent. It kind of seems like we, by nature, reject this notion because it shatters our collective human psyche, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

On the other hand we have a hard time even defining consciousness.

Bus Rapid Transit is super cheap and you can have the lines run anywhere. You just have to be willing to give up lanes of traffic.
In regards to sibling replies, does it feel to anyone else like everything (except golang) is converging towards PHP's array() ?
That's because the trains in LA suck for actually getting anywhere. The city is so spread out and car oriented the trains are useless for most people.

Many train stops in LA proper are at retail/consumer locations rather than commercial centers where most people work. So you take a train into the city and you then need to catch a bus or cab to where you actually need to go. So you skipped some freeway traffic but get stuck in road traffic.

It's more of a pain if you're in the suburbs around LA. Because of the sprawl the trip from your home to a train station isn't a walkable distance. If you take public transit for that portion of your commute you're not seeing any sort of time savings. If you drive to a train station you have all the expenses of a car and the crappy commute time.

Because you basically need a car in most of Southern California you might as well use the freeways. The traffic sucks but at least you have your own radio, AC, and ability to get off and grab a coffee. The sprawl imposes a sort of fixed commute time for any given distance. You might as well be relatively comfortable in that commute.
