I'll do the same thing I've always done. Plan out the next couple years with some long term goals mixed in. I'll do the best I can to achive them and constantly readjust as life requires. Lets be real though most of those goals have little to do with the company I work at anyone who says otherwise is lying. Unless. The company offers profit sharing or stock options with realistic vesting. Does your company offer these things if so then we have some interesting stuff to talk about.

To be fair most interview questions like this I answer with something moderatly controversially engaging without being offensive. I've gotten every job I've applied to except for one and at the end of that interview I was like "what was wrong with me?"
Why not? Because trillions and trillions of dollars. Even $2T is barely enough to feed america for a few months and it is barely afforded.

My point also ws that it's not zero-sum. As in, "we" don't need to colonize mars,but I see no problem in doing so as long as it isn't done by sacrificing people's lives on earth.
What is the alternative to get a valid ID card and an EBT card? I understand there's a hardship for someone that can't get away for a few hours to travel to the DMV office. But it's the same hardship for everyone. There are basic requirements:

1) You have to go to the DMV office

2) You have to agree to have your picture taken

3) You have to fill out 3 forms (offered in your native
language -- 22 languages are offered)

4) You have to provide a mailing address for where the EBT card will be sent

And then you have to be on the other end of that mailing address to receive and activate your EBT card.

This all seems like very easy procedures to follow to get food stamps.
So why are some brain states conscious and not others?
The problem is some customers received the pizza cold, and instead of blaming DoorDash, they blamed the restaurant. It's very misleading when DoorDash resell a product and pretend like the restaurant is actively participating in that process. I personally would not hesitate to ramp up the "self ordering", just to f* with DoorDash.
In a very long-term perspective, this is pretty much it. Off-site backup -- we don't have any redundancy when it comes to our own environment.

There are also a bunch of other benefits but they pale in comparison to this one.
I sometimes use "inurl:wordpress" when searching for travel info. This ensures more first-person blog accounts, rather than all the tripadvisor junk that's at the top.

Why should society accommodate "the gifted" instead of the other way around? Highly talented individuals almost intrinsically less in need of society's assistance.

So, you don't believe we can answer that question with modeling? You don't believe these testing capacity numbers were constructed by public health officials using the best available modeling data? Is that what you're saying? Or, are you saying you're qualified to guess that 1/3 of the required number is sufficient for phase 2 opening?
DoorDash has been an excellent transfer of wealth to me from stupid Arabs with too much money and restaurants that want introverted me to call their phone to order.

The guaranteed QoS example in the article is wrong. Kubernetes only sets the Guaranteed QoS if the CPU count is an integer (which 0.5 is not).

Also, to take full benefit of the QoS you need to configure the Kubelet with "--cpu-manager-policy static"[0].

Many developers didn't realize yet that the average person actually don't care about technology. They want to press a button to send an audio message, search and watch cat videos, read some news, with less friction as possible. They are not even remotely interested in how it works.
Why did Humans need to move out of Africa?
Well, to a panpsychist, there's no reason why "conciousness" would need to stop at a human scale. The universe as a whole might be concious, and part of that concious experience might be isomorphic to the subjective experience of the brain that's being replicated on those pieces of paper. Though I can see how people might object that this is merely conflating "conciousness" with "computation", that's really inherent in what the thought experiment is doing.
Family size or family hours worked? I don't know how family size is directly relevant (assuming we're talking about nuclear families), but hours worked certainly has to be a denominator for an income measure being used as a proxy for quality of life.

If my family works twice as many hours as my parents did, but makes $1 more, they come out on the good side of this measurement.
>The fact that Doordash scrapes prices, and apparently doesn't verify... how does this happen?

In the article they say:

> We found out afterward that was all the result of a “demand test” by Doordash. They have a test period where they scrape the restaurant’s website and don’t charge any fees to anyone, so they can ideally go to the restaurant with positive order data to then get the restaurant signed onto the platform.

I'm totally guessing, but I would bet they do an audit of the numbers after the trial period and would have caught it then.
It seems like the "thought experiment" has no palpable meaning. You are basically repeating the OP's argument "I don't think consciousness can arise mechanically" except more slowly. There's no more argument there. Well, except that an entire universe of paper and pencil calculations probably could not simulate a neuron in the age of the universe. But that's not even interesting.
It removes a lot of friction if you police transactions after the fact. The only trick is to make transactions un-doable if they turn out to be fraudulent.
> “ I don't want the pager to go off just because of some slight non-liveness.“

That’s just bad engineering. Really, one should want the pager to go off for that and be really pedantic to actually sniff out the root cause and actually fix it.

Hiding that type of issue by letting something like liveness/readiness policy tacitly conceal it is just going to result in a far worse or more systemic issue later with far worse pager disruptions to your life.

You’re skipping flossing every now and then only to need serious root canals later.
The average family has more workers, doing more work hours in it now than it did a generation ago.

I'd hope the average income is higher.

Also, how many years of the average family income does it take to buy a small family home these days? How many years of income did it take a generation ago?

The median US family income in 2019 was $75,500. The median US single-family home price in 2019 was $327,000. [1]

The median US family income in 1990 was ~30,000. The median single-family home price in 1990 was $79,100. [2]

Somehow, I look at these numbers, and can't interpret them as being 'good news'.

Sure there is, but the place isn't with small - medium business. Only large corporations that can afford to develop native cross-platform applications will do so. Hence why there's an influx of Electron applications, etc.

I think you'll also find that the typical non-technical users simply don't care whether or not Electron is powering a piece of software. They just want something that looks modern and works "well enough".
> How does neural activity result in the feeling of pain

We can design synthetic chemical painkillers that work, suggesting at for this we actually know what’s going on. You can actually look up how these neurotransmitters etc work.

If you somehow want to suggest something else is going on you really need to support that argument extensively.
This is absurd. Can someone explain to me why DoorDash exists? They're #1 in share, but I get the impression that they basically bought their spot.

Grubhub has been operating in the space forever, is public, and generally had been profitable until VCs came to town. How is DoorDash doing anything than Grubhub? Wouldn't this capital do better in other investments?

From the outside it seems like they've duped investors into burning hundreds of millions of dollars to hopefully build a monopoly in a structurally iffy market.

yes, I don't understand it, but there seems to be a large group who want the lockdowns to remain no matter what. A commenter in a thread last week even went so far as to say the lockdowns were, overall, good for society. I have no explanation except maybe the national election. I hope that's not it because the wholesale destruction of livelihoods just to stick it to the other side is a very depressing thought.
True, but then on to the next delivery startup :).

I suppose the fact that I left UberEats for DoorDash as soon as there were coupons suits your point though.
RSS used to be this. Google has done its best to kill it.
I imagine that's productivity as measured by your career rather than productivity as a combination of work plus all responsibilities at home! Someone up-thread noted that you become more efficient out of necessity.
Many people who were first influenced by Henry George's ideas became impatient with the "organicness" of them, and moved to promoting socialism because they thought it would achieve their objectives more quickly. But George was convinced that it had to grow organically.

George's simple reform would provide the level playing field, and not involve "command and control." George was very much the small-d democrat and very much the capitalist -- but a purer capitalism, not land monopoly capitalism. And he could accurately be called a mensch!

George Bernard Shaw was perhaps the most famous of them.

Henry George had public debates with several socialists (Serge Shevitch was one - 1887; Henry Hyndman another). They're great reading.
I don't think so either, the operating phrase there is "even if" ,and no,that excludes lazy people and criminals. Honest,law abiding and hard working would translate to a livable life however below average it may be. And it has always been a dream that only some live up to. For many classes of society,this has never been true.

If your productivity is measured by the hours you put in and not your output, you have a bigger issue than the question if your kid drags down your internal rating or not.

I imagine the OP meant through the DoorDash app? Recently, I've used the Dominos, Papa Johns, or Pizza Hut apps, which are, you know, fine enough, they get the job done, but critically: there's no surcharge beyond what you'd pay over the phone.

I would be confused why anyone would buy a chain pizza like this through DoorDash (or a similar service). Beyond the one tenuous benefit of not having to install another app; is it really worth the extra surcharge? Are they even listed in these apps?
There are many ways and reasons why having kids can slow your career, but the flip side has been more important to me. Kids made me more focused (there’s no putzing around when balancing kids and work) and caretaking allowed my personal responsibility to more fully develop. The experience has made me a better and more effective person.

I think a lot of US immigrants are more well versed in the workings of the US government than native born citizens.

This is because they have a source of comparison, and it is on the test! (if they go for citizenship)

Although some US citizens get how well some things work in the US compared to other countries, they have blind spots for some things that don't.

I got sick in Mexico once and went to a doctor there. I paid in cash and it was something like $2. If I wanted, I could get my medicine in pill or hypodermic form.
> If you're struggling to find a balance, know first that you're not alone. But recognize quickly that your employment environment may be incompatible with family life, and so what's "slowing your career down" is your management... not your kids or your own performance.

This may come from an already privileged position (I'm doing "well" by most standards and haven't lost my job due to the pandemic), but your relationship with your kids is for the rest of your life. If you don't get your kids right, you may need a high-flying career to pay for all their shit into the future. Get your kids right! If it affects your career, then refer to the above quoted comment, but I would also add that if your kids are slowing down your career then you have your priorities straight.

I don't always have time for my kids every single night, but I'll make up for it at opportune times. Sometimes I feel I'm not connecting with them for a week or even a month, but then a situation will come up where that connection-gap is entirely filled and then some - but you have to be aware of the situations in order to recognize the ones where you can help / step-in and make that connection.

Aside:
This is something I didn't think about before having kids, didn't even cross my mind as a "thing". My kids are my reason for living. Life would be empty without them, I'd be potentially suicidal. My career exists to pay for the betterment of the kids. I could clean toilets for all I care, as long as they're on the right track.

Flipside:
Bob Hawke, one of Australia's favourite Prime Ministers, is rumoured to have hushed up the rape of one of his daughters because the badly-timed controversy could potentially have slowed down his career path.

Make your choice by what suits your personality, likely somewhere between those two extremes. Not being able to sleep at night will probably drag your career down more than kids (although that's one of the early effects of having kids).

Is that all it takes to get unemployment now? Just an application and they take your word for it? I thought you needed to get legitimately laid off (i.e. not quit or be fired for cause) by an employer in the state who notifies the state of this fact for you, and perhaps who has to pay part of your benefits.

And there's always both upsides as well as downsides to handling things federally versus state.

You have one group building dog houses like the dog will always be a puppy, and another group looking at those people, laughing, and wandering off to build a kennel, just in case you might decide at some point to start raising show dogs for 4 different breeds at once.

What is most likely instead is that you'll get a second dog in a couple years and need to make a better version of what you already have. And if it's nice enough, make a couple more for friends or as a gift.
Yes, kids take time. Lots of time. So if you believe that more time at a work is better, and that it's a zero-sum game (i.e., time with children will take away from time at work), then yes, having children will be bad for your career.

But there's a ton wrong with that thinking.

First: Exercise takes time away from work. Vacations take time away from work. Sleeping takes time away from work. And yet, even the most die-hard workers realize that they have to exercise, take vacations, and sleep. And that doing so makes them better people, healthier and more well-adjusted. And even better able to do their jobs.

I can't speak for everyone, but I've found that my children -- now 19, 17, and 14 -- have not been distractions from work, but complements to it. They have helped me to find insights, to understand myself and the world, and to generally be a better person.

Second: It's possible to make lots of money and have a great career with children. It's also possible to do so without children. So it's not an either/or situation. Yes, you'll have to prioritize. Yes, you'll be frustrated sometimes that you can't finish a work project because the kids need you. But it also gives you some perspective, understanding that even if your project is delayed by a day, that's OK.

Third: There's no doubt that children can be maddening, frustrating, and time consuming. Especially when they're young, they demand lots of attention. But in my case, all of that frustration was easily counterbalanced by the joy, excitement, and fulfillment that comes from having children, speaking with them, and learning from them.

Finally: If your job means that you have to dedicate yourself to it, to the exclusion of everything else, is that really a job you want? If your company doesn't encourage you to take time with your family, or for yourself, what sorts of people are working there, and do you really want to be working there?

I don't know if I would be a worse consultant, trainer, and developer without my children. I would be a different one, though. And given how happy and successful I am now in my personal and work lives, I wouldn't want to be that other person.

Did you reply to the wrong post?

Redpanda uses the Seastar framework which was created by the ScyllaDB project. Scylla is high-performance C++ reimplemation of Cassandra and RedPanda seems to be chasing the same thing as an alternative to Kafka/JVM.

As a 12 year adtech veteran who has built ad networks from scratch 3 times, low-latency and high-throughput are critical to ad serving infrastructure and that's why Scylla is such a better alternative to Cassandra. The only other database that gets close is Aerospike, and possibly Redis Enterprise with Flash persistence. It's entirely valid to want similar improvements for event streams as well, and as long as they keep the same external API then you don't lose any of the ecosystem advantages either.

So, I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but it doesn't seem to me like native apps are going away in the near future, at least.

[1]: Nova is a still-in-beta code editor I'm trying out as a possible replacement for VS Code. Code still "wins" on features for me, but Nova is pretty cool, and still in beta, so...?

[2] I mean, MacVim is a native "GUI," but it's, you know, Vim.
Not really true, putting things in a hash map is pretty fast, and generally faster than a comparison based sort.
You may be right, and if so then I agree that it doesn't make sense to order PJ's, Domino's, or Pizza Hut through a generic app. My (perhaps incorrect) interpretation was based on the fact that I've never seen one of the big chains available in the generic delivery apps.
