It's quite a bummer that he identified two things I identified that caused me to decide to leave academia, age and pedigree.

I was working in a field that wasn't super hot or trendy, but for which there was a lot of low hanging fruit that a ... lesser physicist could actually work on to move the needle. It was gratifying, but the "system" for granting PhDs, and granting funding isn't designed for "B" players, and it's a bummer.

My age and experience in other fields helped me contribute to the rest of my team's goals in ways that I think wouldn't have otherwise happened if someone from a more traditional path had been on the team instead. Oh well :)
Providing employees with some kind of inexpensive nutrient slurry would also be a great way to help mitigate the high cost of living.
Are you sure its customer service metrics and not the oversupply of students? Are you sure it isnt that students who couldnt complete an entrance exam 30yrs ago are being given $50k - $100k loans to get a degree they derive no value from?

The average IQ of an undergrad 30 years ago was over 120, now it is 105.

University doesn't "educate" you. At best it trains you in a discipline that you have to, on arrival, have an aptitude for. The (pseudo-)educational experience isnt transformative, it doesn't take a person who cannot learn complex topics independently and turn them into a person who can. It facilitates.

That means c. 10% of the current population of students are actually suitable for university. Everything else is a bubble created by "aspirational" parents demanding $100k loans for their children.
In Nebraska we could direct-bury fiber up to eight feet underground with what was essentially a vibrating knife (pulled through the earth by two large Caterpillers) along the gravel paved county roads that were established when the railroads sold off land to finance their grade/track construction. It's incredibly cheap compared to any other means of installation and the right-of-ways are consistently available - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vibration+cable+plough&t=ffab&iar=....

A tiny fraction of our fiber was mounted above ground (eight miles out of over 700 IIRC) but it was taken down by tornados/wind shear twice in the first three years after it was lit.
offtopic, but how come there are only two genders participating in these protests?! there must be something wrong with the analysis.
One is the interfacing the public. When you are interfacing with the public, you have an incentive to look your best. The easiest way is to not admitting fault, and the police have plenty of power to do that unfortunately. Military to the public is as a whole, so internally they don’t have these powerful forces acting on them.

Not only does he work for this company. He co-founded it. Unbelievable response from a co-founder.

I've had my reservations about Prisma (I don't think it solves a problem for me), but this pretty much discourages me from using it entirely.
I've been on both sides and the best thing to do is to try to make it a good relationship with good communication. Do this finding out how they like to be communicated to (I had a boss that would NEVER read email, but would respond instantly in Slack). Also, be flexible and open to change. Best of luck. I hope it's an easy transition for everyone.
> There's that old saying: "you couldn't get elected as dogcatcher,"

To be pedantic, this phrase actually refers to the quality of the person rather than the number of positions. The meaning is essentially "you're so unpopular you couldn't get elected to the most trivial/inconsequential position imaginable"

More on your point I frequently observe that administration expands until it becomes the purpose of the organisation. You start out with something serving users (eg Education, or Government) which as it grows in size requires more coordination. However past a certain point the administrators require help themselves, starting the inevitable growth outside of user pressure. Eventually you reach a tipping point where there are more people working on improving administration than those working on improving user experience.
What matters for changing behavior is the marginal impact of a police officer's actions on their income, not the average income of a police officer. Even if all police officers would be paid more by the current amount that a city dishes out in damages each individual officer would still face an incentive to reduce their excessive use of force to increase their own take home pay. Which is exactly the incentive we're going for here.

This is disappointing because the Microsoft stores seemed to be the only retail B&Ms that carried premium Windows hardware. Aside from a few outliers, stores like Best Buy tend to focus on volume Windows machines (Inspiron, IdealPad, Pavillion).

Run htop or similar, sort by "shared memory" column and see how much more memory you'd need per process if shared linking did not exist.

I think the author's using a wrong method to make a point. Dynamic linking feels out of place for most long-running server-side apps (typical SaaS workload). One can argue that in a mostly CLI-environment there's also not much benefit.

But even an empty Ubuntu desktop runs ~400 processes and dynamic linking makes perfect sense. libc alone would have to exist in hundreds reincarnations consuming hundred+ megabytes of RAM and I'm not even talking about much, much heavier GTK+ / cairo / freetype / etc libraries needed for GUI applications.

It is my understanding that posts with images generate longer time

I haven’t seen the data, but this is what I have been told, and it’s quite plausible. I don’t use header images on posts on my own site because I agree with you, but unfortunately oftentimes things that seem bad or ugly are such a way for a good reason.

It’s the same thing about big ugly pancake buttons and people’s close up faces on landing pages.
I like TypeScript because it gives me an edge over my competitors.

To provide a counterpoint to the other commenters, I quite like the Triangle! (As someone who has lived there for several years now.)

I attend one of the major universities (NC State) but plan to stay here after I graduate. The three major municipalities (Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham) are different enough and have a wide variety of suburbs around them to offer a lot of options for different price points, if you're planning on moving here.

I've met lots of different people in the area, and there are tons of things to do. Lots of good food.

The traffic isn't that bad. The major interstate that connects the three areas (I-40) gets congested some during the day, but it's nothing like what you'd see out in the valley. Living anywhere in the Triangle means you're effective 30-40 minutes away from everywhere else, so I know lots of people who live in e.g. Raleigh and work in Durham (or in the Park.)

The weather is pretty good! A bit hot in the summer, but spring and fall are really nice, and the winter isn't too cold. We usually only get 1-2 snows a year.

The best part though: you're 2 hours from the mountains and 2 hours from the beach. When you want to take a vacation, you've got both options to choose from.

Above all else, it's a fast growing area. Our public transit needs a lot of work, and there are plenty of other areas for improvement (bringing more startup talent to the area, rather than older established companies.) It's growing pretty notably though, and I for one am excited to be a part of the process _before_ the area explodes. 10 years from now, the area is going to be a lot more popular.

I think the government involvement should be minimal. They should create a law that requires bidding on local infrastructure, and enforce that the bidding process is fair, and the selection/voting process is fair.
They do have schizophrenic A/B testing though.

Just recently they started playing the exact same ads but sometimes they have a few syllables messed up. I think I now have first-hand experience in being gaslit, it really makes you doubt your sanity if you heard the "same" ad but "wrong".
I totally get it, my dad moved to Tennessee for a professorship, and I followed him a few years later while in highschool. It wasn't my first choice! But after a month or two of grousing about what a shitty little 2-bit town I thought Johnson City was as a highschooler, my dad suggested I chill out on criticizing the town and the people in it all the time, and I think that was good advice. While it may not have been a great "culture fit" for me, that doesn't make me better than the people who live there.

I also would not move away from where I like to live for a job.
Everybody commits minor infractions of the law regularly. Putting someone under watch, by a cop who needs to report that he enforced something, is going to ensure they get picked up sooner or later.

There's a saying to the effect that a good cop can find a reason to pull any car over if he follows it for just a couple minutes.

Crime has decreased everywhere since then (not just NYC) while the US prison population has increased 500% over the past 40 years.

> Certainly we can decrease brutality by sending police into areas with no conflicts but that defeats the whole purpose of policing.

Thanks for pointing out very clearly what you believe to be the purpose of policing. For a lot of cops as well, brutality is the goal. What we're seeing right now is Americans re-aligning those priorities.
I wonder if these are at all related to the "sprite" phenomenon which is observed from space.

> Many people, including me, take simple English words rather literally....

> It's unfortunate, but I will not start interpreting language "less accurately".

But, in this case, the literal interpretation is the "less accurate" one. Literal != accurate.
If what you describe was the pattern, then the regions with lots of observed "victimless crimes" would be uncorrelated with the regions with lots of serious crimes (e.g. from counting bullet holes down at the morgue, or from ShotSpotter). That's great, this theory makes a testable prediction. It's falsifiable.

That said, I agree that the smart use of such predictions should be sensitive to this. Try to predict where & when the murders will happen, use that to direct patrols (and searches for potential murder weapons). Rather than predicting something simpler like "total number of offences including parking tickets" for the sake of chasing numbers.

(Both of these comments are describing where to put patrols, i.e. where to spend a limited resource to best effect. Prediction applied to human individuals is a very different story, and much scarier.)
Wow, I think you didn't get enough credit here for replying to this thread! Kudos to you!

Just depends on the service.

That's by design, not nature.

> Most people don't want to have to open their washing machine and tweak the wires. Most people don't want their fridge to be able to do anything other than being a fridge.

The right comparison isn't the fridge, but Keurig. Imagine a fridge that only accepted a particular brand of packaged meals, and nothing else. Storing leftovers? Forget it. Random food bought at the supermarket? Need to root your fridge first. Medicine? Only if you buy an add-on. That's how modern computing looks like, particularly on mobile.

The elitist mentality is the one that insists things have to be this way - that you have to have a hard split between producers and consumers, developers and users. The old-era computing philosophy GP refers to didn't have a hard split here - it enabled one to progress all the way from a novice to a programmer, and also allowed them to stop at the point they're comfortable with.

I don't disagree that there is only a probability, but I think you are ignoring the very likely possibility that this is part of a multi-facet pressure campaign on social media companies by this president, his attorney general, and the Congress critters who are sponsoring this legislation.

Using vague wording in legislation is a "bad code smell". Giving the authority to the DoJ (who is both a partisan, nominated official, and is very biased in the prosecution of those whoa re accused of breaking this law. I don't put any credence in "still take in recommendations from provider input"; I assume Congress and the DoJ can ignore any and all feedback if they choose to make a partisan show of a specific case/issue (and they have when it comes to encryption unlocking phones of terrorists, child sexual abusers, and drug dealers).
I see it now. Thanks for adding this feature. It would also be nice to control other notifications. For example, an email notification for transfer creation doesn't really make sense in 99% of the cases. And I think ideally all those controls should be in the main Dropbox settings (notifications tab). Or at least defaults should be there.

Whilst you may see variations in area's, globally afaik the rate of lightning strikes hasn't changed at all, least I've not read anything stating that and if there was, I'd of thought that would of air publicly via the media decades ago.

Which is a shame as can imagine some types of people being a little more mindful climate wise if they got told that the odds of them getting killed by lighting will increase due to their actions. Alas that is not the case, shame as make things easier to communicate to those that need such communication.

But we are still learning about lightning, indeed I also would of thought extra particulate matter in the atmosphere would see more friction and with that lightning and that does not appear to be the case as clear cut and no hockey stick lighting rate increase globally.

Though of interest and related would be lightning formed by certain volcano eruptions, which does give some weight to extra particulates would make an increase in lightning, but then, we just don't see that globally and shows how much we don't know still about lightning. Let alone space lighting, which we didn't even know about a few decades back.

I'm all for that. But systemically we tend to oppose that too. You do that long enough, eventually the ones on the bottom start pulling down statues. But the problem is both. We have victimless laws, and we have law enforcement departments with histories of covering for their own people when they break the law, or exploiting loopholes to railroad people.

While I agree that “defund the police” is a bad slogan, no fluent speaker of any language takes words and phrases literally. Human communication is chock full of idioms, allusions, allegories, and a number of other rhetorical devices that depend on a non-literal interpretation of words. It’s highly unrealistic for you to declare that you “take simple English words rather literally”, as that’s not how natural languages work.
Imo it will boil down to economics and the undergrads. Universities have survived a very long time, but they used to sell education not prestige. Prestige is an asset that can rapidly lose value: ask MIT-bioscience donor Jeffery Epstein ;P. It's humourous to watch them scramble to get classes going because if a year of young people just move on without universities, the jig is up. The admissions scandal should have already done it :/....
That's fine. They are accountable to the electorate who can recall them.

Exactly! This is why The Orville is a better Star Trek than the official reboot. Sci-Fi was always about exploring ethical dilemmas in current society. Just portraying them as either a different species (representing a some subgroup in our society) or potential outcomes of policies if they were to be abused. I mean, if you think Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (and Altered Carbon) is just a gritty Sci-Fi Film Noir, then you missed half of the movie which was about socio-economic status and struggles (specifically Blade Runner is critical of Reganomics).
You need to counter-train the algorithm to get useful results out of it basically. Keep ignoring those videos, mark them as boring, refresh the page, etc. do content discovery the old-timey way.
Abolition has a specific meaning in America. So when you use "Abolish" as the root word, people think you mean to completely ban it. If the conversation should have been around something else, "reduce police funding" is the same amount of words as "defund the police" or "abolish the police" and actually means what protestors say it means.
When you get a paranoid murderous psychopath like Stalin in power, "rationale" may be stretching it.

But I think it went something like this. Marx was "scientific" - Marx had created a "science" of economics and sociology, and it was the official truth of the USSR. If some crank could show that his crackpot theory of agriculture was the logical consequence of Marxism's established truth, then it too had to be the official truth of the USSR. The science was settled; all that was left was for everyone to fall in line and implement it. Anyone who opposed that was both unscientific and unpatriotic.

Except the science was objectively wrong, and implementing it resulted in disaster.

I'd guess violent crime mostly "comes from" people calling 911, not from officers stumbling into rapes/mugging/murders/home invasions.
$100K won't buy enough professional services to build, launch, and operate an MVP unless the app is very simple. If it's simple enough that anyone can drop $50K-100K on design services and have your business cloned, it's not a very defensible startup idea.

There are occasional exceptions, but typically the founding team must have the majority talent and skills required to launch the MVP.
Facebook is saying that loss of revenue will not cause them to change their business. How many other businesses run that way? Where else is Facebook getting the money to operate without revenue? How long can Facebook operate without revenue?

I've been using prisma for a couple months now at my employer. The longer I use it, the more frustrated I find myself with the tool.

Here's a list of a few things out of many that you can't do
with this tool (Prisma Migrate):

* Renaming columns/tables

* Migrating data from one column/table to another column/table.

* Write anything that isn't a table definition, such as procedures, functions, events, transactions, etc.

I think people are attracted to prisma at first because a single state definition of your database seems nice, but then once you wisen up you realize you're sacrificing a lot for it. There's just no way to effectively track changes like the name changing of a column between states with this sort of system.

Writing your migrations in SQL with tools like Flyway is a much more flexible and sustainable approach, in my opinion.
