> I think startups are a bit of a crapshoot even in this regard. You'll learn a lot at a good one, but could potentially learn a lot of bad habits at a bad one.

I've seen far more shit habits from habitual startup employees than those who come from Big N. The people who come from big public companies are almost always better at best practices and writing code than startup employees. I don't believe working at startups really gives you good sense for architecture, scalability, readability, or a variety of aspects of programming. It's almost all about getting that short term dollar to get to the next stage of funding. So, raw first time implementation speed gets prioritized over all other aspects. I don't find many startups have very strong technical voices either. CTOs frequently being product people in disguise, etc. That's my experience...

This is not a case where the police would be helpful, at least in the US. The police in the US generally will defer financial disputes to the courts.
Also these days a motivated eng will get exposed to many projects / processes at FAANG at usually a higher quality than at a random startup. You used to need to go the startup route for generalist experience but there's so much you can pick up at the big co's nowadays.
Ya, 4k might be changing the math a bit, and ISP's might need to upgrade the caps, or offer different caps per tier like your idea.

Either way, I don't want to subsidize the guy torrenting Blue-Rays and pushing 10TB a month when I'm only using 1TB.

> the left matrix in a matrix multiplication flipping over and crashing down on top of the right matrix. (or is that backwards?)

Both ways work. A row from the left matrix rotated 90° clockwise to line up with the rows of the right matrix gives you the coefficients to use to combine those rows into a row of the result matrix. Conversely, a column from the right matrix rotated 90° anticlockwise to line up with the columns of the left matrix gives you the coefficients to use to combine those columns into a column of the result matrix.

I didn't fully understand that until I read Strang's book.

> but there’s a whole lot in government that should never, and will never, be public.

Such governments should be destroyed. Everything in government should be made public sooner or later. Everything in government is public property and belongs to the public.

There may be short term national security issues that may warrant secrecy, but even those in the long term needs to be released to the public.

It's so strange that people actually believe " there’s a whole lot in government that should never, and will never, be public." And this is why so many people distrust the EU and its supporters.

There was no vaccine for Sars or Mers. Will there be one this time?
Oh cool, congrats on finding the bug!
It's not ruined yet, but the stage is set for the Internet to become cable+and+TV 2.0 with surveillance on the side; to become a mostly one-way medium from a few large media companies to the masses - with the added benefit of these and other companies taking advantage of the return path to surveil you.

When everyone thinks of an Internet plan as what TV shows and streaming media they get, with FAANG and remote work access on the side, why should ISPs do anything but allow access to whitelisted services and companies that pay them for access?

It's not going to be a quick process, but since telecom providers own the lines, and people have no choice but to give them money, they aren't going anywhere and can wait it out.
I like the characterization of DDD as a jungle. There's certainly a lot of overgrowth in the process and patterns that can be bewildering and overwhelming at first.

I was actually unaware until just now that Newman had published another book! I'll have to give it and Millett and Tune both a look.

Best of luck with your DDD adventure!
This! In addition to all of the above, it is very hard for the candidate to judge what "0.X % of the company" is worth. Like if one gave up, say 50,000 in salary, is the equity worth that much or some good multiple of it.

The "preferred shares" and various other gimmicks played by VCs mean they might let the "current value" appear inflated than it really is. I have seen startups "start" with a valuation of "50 million dollars" out of thin air. No sales, no product, but a combination of confusing paperwork makes it appear as if someone recently "invested at that valuation". It will be too late by the time you find that the investor was nothing other than the founder, who found a creative way to value his/her time or seed money.

Another major mistake made by new candidates is to miss the fact that there is a vesting period - the upfront large amount means nothing if you quit after a year. On top of it one may not even get any new ISOs in future years. Companies always show "current-year salary + total ISO issued" as "total compensation" - that is absurd. Even if you know what you are doing, you will fall for it after 10 repetitions.
Would introducing competition for internet access at the residential level help prevent the type of consumer abuse that was predicted to happen? If Comcast is my only choice for broadband and there is no net neutrality, they can set whatever terms they want. If I have a choice between Comcast, three LEO internet providers, and four fixed wireless providers, Comcast loses its leverage.
I do this on high value items. I pack the item in the car though for safety and film continuously until drop-off.

I hate to break it to you: You don't have privacy on the internet.
If Discord was chosen by your employer, running on employer-provided laptops, yes, you need to use it.
You can certainly call out their questionable ToS to your IT department.

It's not a public "social utility". It is a service run by a private company with their specific ToS.
I'm getting so frustrated about people not understanding that YOU ARE THE PRODUCT - in many cases like Discord.
You will be monitored, your clicks will be recorded,
heck you have NO guarantee that the Open Source version they might have is the code RUNNING on their servers.
Even if a company claims they can't read your messages or never will: You can't trust it. Ever.

worry about the fact that your health insurance company can change or they can change the terms on you. That a starting point. Plenty more to worry about but I have typed enough on other threads here.
Google Analytics expert here.

This is missing some fundamental ones: gclid and dclid. Those are the parameters that identify a specific click from a specific user on a specific ad placement. They are the keys that Google uses on the back-end to join Google Analytics data with Google Ads (formerly AdWords) and DV360 (formerly DoubleClick) data.

The utm_ parameters are tame. They are very coarse-grained, usually representing "which budget did this ad come from" rather than anything about a user. They're ugly, which is enough reason to strip them, but gclid is also ugly, and much more identifying.

This is a bit of a fringe opinion, but I actually consider tools that block utm_ but leave gclid to actually be a decrease in privacy. A lot of people misconfigure their Google Analytics so that _utm params break the gclid. Stripping utms allows that join to happen.
My previous job was a 1:20 commute by bike and train up to SF. I got really excited about a new job opportunity only a 20-30 minute drive from my house, but now that I've been at this job for almost a year I often miss the train commute. Commuting by car really is much more stressful.
It makes for a good setup for the piece, but the whole "do or don't carboload before endurance racing" is still very much a subject of debate.
Why don’t they just move the Minimum age for Medicare down from 65 gradually, and see what happens... change the speed of lowering the age depending on how the market responds And How the public likes it.
I agree. Working for early startups is risky. I'm just saying, we're unlikely to mitigate the risk by eliminating preferred shares for investors.
A useful concept is decision leverage. As in, notice when you're expending effort on things that don't have any.
My main complaint is that Comcast gives no insight into how they calculate your usage beyond a generic bar graph.

I was using steadily 600-700GB of data a month on my gigabit plan. It suddenly spiked to 2TB - from what I could tell there was no change in behavior, my ubiquiti gear wasn't showing this amount of usage. This went on and used up my two 'courtesy' months of overages forcing me to pay the extra money to remove the cap.

A month after paying this my usage amounts dropped back down to where they were before.

The gigabit services works well, but I find the cap hard to accept without any ability to question it.
Even if you have all sorts of freedoms, those freedoms by themselves don't allow you to attend and get a diploma from an institution that has not accepted you as a student. An institution could reject applicants for unfair reasons, and that would be one area where education as a right could be used as an instrument for intervention.

(Unfair reasons would be ones that have nothing to do with academic placement or ability to pay: right to education doesn't have to mean that a school has to take everyone who applies, and those who can't pay tuition.)
I feel zero stress. CDC estimates 16,000-41,000 flu deaths for the 2019-2020 season (through 15 Feb) in the US alone.

Look at US coronavirus deaths. Do the math. Sleep easy.

If not in the US, substitute $YOURCOUNTRY. Do the math. Sleep easy.
What I’d really like would be switching to QoS: a blanket cap is a crude metric for allocating a limited resource but it’d be nice if you could pay for shares or something similar, encouraging off-peak downloads for things which aren’t latency-sensitive (OS updates, backups, etc.).
Yes, PayPal is the merchant, and as the CSR in the Ireland call center explained to me, they HAVE to issue the refund, or they risk extreme fines (the representative also told me PayPal could "lose the license to accept payments", but I doubt that, given their size. Regular merchants would, but PayPal is too valuable, so it would just get extreme fines and higher processing fees).
His point is "train your body to burn fat instead of carboloading". I don't get it, why not do both?
Of course. You can easily build programs too difficult to prove terminate using CTEs.

But even before CTEs, SQLite3 was Turing complete: you could write recursive triggers.

Recursion == looping. Any looping construct, recursive or otherwise, that doesn't require a literal max iteration count implies Turing completeness.
That's not how the dynamics of online selling works, unfortunately. Sellers have to go to where the buyers are, not the other way around. If you list your item on a site with no traffic and more overhead costs, then you're not going to be selling much.

The UPS or something can take a photo of the product or item they received. They are not verifying what's inside. They are just verifying the weight, a photo from few angles, available only in case of dispute.
Seller can also do that, but a third party doing it with no horse in the race can act like a notary. We are verifying what we saw. A camera "box" with X pounds of weight.

If seller wants them to verify the inside contents, he needs to Show them the inside contents. Then UPS will be confirming by photos that yes, an item with this serial number is there inside and we packed it. No guarantee of shutter count or working or not. Just what they see & record in a photo.

Its kind of slippery slope. What if its just a empty camera body? What is its a junk camera? What if buyer says these above falsely?
Wow. GitHub's CEO is an investor in this Autocodes? Nat is known for Open SOurce since it started.
You think retail employers aren't using security cameras already?
Not that I want to perpetuate a discussion about my post on this thread, but "use Signal" isn't the claim we make; "use any modern secure messenger, they are all better than email" is the claim we made.
Interesting, right? I imagine it may actually be kind of distracting for the actors, though it has to be better than working in a giant bright green cave. You should watch the behind the scenes video, seeing it in motion is really cool.
Look up the Oregon Medicaid study. Basically did a lottery, half get Medicaid, half don’t.

No change in outcomes, it just cost more.
I think the proposal is by far weakest in tying it at all to healthcare. Maybe UBI could be used to improve our health insurance headaches, but I was speaking specifically about things like unemployment benefits, CalFresh, etc. Things that are already just cash transfers but require an (arguably) bloated and too expensive bureaucracy to administer.

I always found it interesting that YC will fund competitors of existing portfolio companies, but I guess it might make sense from various angles as they increase the chance that one of their funded companies will make it big, and it will probably stimulate innovation.

I wonder though how they handle the potential conflict of interest as I imagine they get updates from both companies and might be asked for advice by both as well.

Regarding the product I think it’s interesting but if retroactive event streaming is the only USP I think that should be easy to reproduce for Segment. Also, I really like that Segment started taking privacy a bit more serious by introducing their privacy hub. Freshpaint is probably not compliant with GDPR as of now, I guess as they’re focused on the US market that might not matter much though.
NN didn't allow slowing particular apps or particular users relative to others unless there was a major problem. The wireless carriers wanted to do these things, but it's unclear whether they implemented targeting specific individuals/apps or not after the repeal (I doubt they would announce something so unpopular), or just said "apps X, Y, Z don't count against data plan R." I think there's enough technical people who can create reproducible evidence of network throttling through custom apps that load test various website APIs and comparing wireless carrier network performance to identify which companies are doing what dirty tricks.

I barely see/interact with my kids on an 8 hour day. On a 10 hour day, I'd probably miss them completely.

I would like one day a week when I'm not working OR looking after the kids, however. That would be amazing. It would be great to give it a try and see how it worked out. Unfortunately my employer is a hardass and doesn't even allow work from home, let alone fewer days a week.
The answer is he didn't earn it on his backyard weed selling. Maybe he got the initial coins from that, but they may have only been worth $10,000 when he received them. It's just that with BTC price rise, it is now worth $60M
Here in Norway it is 37.5 hours of paid work / week.

Our finance minister recently had a hissy fit over the idea of shortening the work week, arguing that if we got rid of 3.5 hours a week (i.e down to 34 hr. weeks) we'd lose out on tens of billions in tax revenue.
I'm sorry to hear that - I learnt so much reading this code.

> deductible IRA contributions must be added back when calculating your income

Not true. IRA/401k/HSA reduce MAGI for healthcare purposes. Do not confuse MAGI for the healthcare marketplace with MAGI on your tax return; those are two different figures.

The "rinse" part is where it gets tricky. There are firms that track returns (at least for retail). I've seen people have their returns straight-up denied.
There is also a third reason. Having the option of DSL doesn't do any good if the DSL provider doesn't respect privacy either.

The question isn't whether a viable competitor exists, it's whether a viable competitor that respects privacy exists.
That's relatively common; I haven't had it at my past couple of tech/public employers, but have it currently.
In order to install this browser extension it requires permissions of "can read and change all your data on the websites you visit". So basically a man in the middle attack that tracks every site you visit and could potentially modify the content on pages you visit without you knowing.

As much as I enjoy privacy, IMO it's a much bigger violation / risk to give my complete browsing history to some extension, especially since it can "read all your data". That means it can look at the HTML response of any page you visit which means access to your banking details, email account and everything you ever browse. That's all personally identifiable data.

I wouldn't even consider utm tags a privacy violation since it's really nothing more than a slightly more useful referrer header that's completely anonymous.

I mean that if your paycheck is $10k you'll bring home $15k with this subsidy. But if you get a new job and double your salary to $20k you won't get a subsidy so you're entire income will be $20k. You got a nominal 10k raise but only take home 5k more, hence an effective 50% tax rate through this. If there's an actual income tax you have to pay that gets added to this and if there exist other benefits for poor people like Medicare then you might conceivably be worse off with the $20k paycheck than with the $10k paycheck.

Mathematically, a $10k Progressive Guaranteed Income like you describe plus a 50% tax on income over $20k is exactly the same as a $10k UBI plus a 50% flat tax.

WHATWG is mostly HTML and DOM/browser api:s, ECMAscript is by TC39, CSS is still in W3C, URI schemes (which this is about) are in W3C, as seen in this draft being hosted by WICG, which as far as I can tell is a W3C group.
No way would he be stupid enough to have these only on a single sheet of paper. Surely he considered the possibility of a fire, for example. And just because witnesses seem to think something only shows that he did the right thing with respect to them too. I might leave as much as $300 with a sheet of paper, but not $50M+.
>The most efficiently ran part of our government is the military

I mean that's just objectively wrong. The US Postal Service is likely the most efficient among government agencies. Medicare is also very efficient even compared to private insurance.

So I'm not sure where this fear of inefficiency is coming from when we're going to leverage one of the most efficient government programs in the US. And I'm more curious as to why people even care about the national debt bullshit anymore considering we've seen one side be completely willing to blow up the deficit for the sake of giving the rich socialism.
- A trade off is a trade off; no need to justify it. Increased cognitive load is a con.

- Sorry your Go experience was bad. I can only say my anecdotal experience was the opposite. Mostly for shared nothing architectures, but I also worked on an MQ-style software in Go and had a relatively good time. I think things that are well-suited to CSP concurrency fare pretty OK. Rust could’ve prevented things like accidental concurrent map accesses, but it still can’t guarantee you are implementing concurrency correctly on the application level (from perspective of say, coherency or atomicity.) So for many apps I’ve written, even somewhat complicated ones, I don’t feel like Rust would always be the best option. To me Rust makes most sense when you really can’t ever afford a memory error. Web browsers seem like an obvious winning case.

Is there any actual way to "seize" a bitcoin collection without knowing the master key(s)?
the best thing you can do for yourself is get yourself off the news. it is incredibly toxic psychologically and unlikely that it will increase your happiness. cut out what doesn't serve you. Your handle says "FailMore" so try new things with the time freed up from ditching your phone, even if you fail it will still be better than staying in whatever the algorithms are feeding you. (keep in mind that your surrounding is also in the same algorithm prison and you might have to take active measures to tune out the BS).

fwiw, I grew up when the HIV epidemic went through the news cycle in the 80ies. And the news were similar in tone but exposure to news was limited (no Internet, no phones). So I often wonder what would happen if something like HIV comes around today in the age of the Internet. It would be mayhem I'm sure.

There is also a lot of disinfo around covid-19 popping up: https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1228525855208427521
What's crazy is that you see regulation on minimum number of parking spaces for nearly any kind of building type and yet for working buildings, there's absolutely 0 regulations on minimum number of places to live. So, what happens is there's a huge imbalance between number of jobs offered vs places to live, thus driving up the cost of housing unnecessarily.

It's almost as if they designed cities to only be driven too without any thought given on how to place living spaces closer to working spaces.
So if you're running Chrome/Firefox dev-channel then they're a RAT? Or is twice a week not enough to trigger your threshold? What about the canaries that are updated daily? What about betas that are updated every week?

Yea, I agree. But what about the FACT that it's so much denser of an energy source than any battery we have? The straight up truth is that right now, unless there is so amazing innovation, we are going to use every drop. In the short term at least the world's militaries will burn as much oil as they can. Regardless of what you hear in press releases, major industry, military, aerospace will not move from oil until there is a performance reason, not ethical not cost reason to do so.
