If you're drinking lots of caffeine I'd also recommend taking l-theanine. It's a compound found in some teas and has a very calming effect that counteracts the anxiety and jitters of caffeine. It's really amazing at allowing me to have the concentration boost of caffeine while avoiding many of the negative side effects.

You should do your own research on it first of course, but it's been shown to be very safe.
There's a difference between not giving a shit and not allowing this type of behavior to impact you negatively. I might casually describe the latter as not giving a shit.
> to plan everything out in detail and start building it all at once very rarely works, is expensive, slow and can’t handle changing requirements. And requirements always change.

I’m struggling with the opposite. 90% of what we have to do is realizing requirements we get from externally (our competitors get the same requirements more or less). We can only release an update when we have done all the external requirements. Still we’re supposed to be an agile company so you don’t work directly with the external requirements but a project manager creates a stream of work items, so you never have the time to try to get the big picture.

Most of the time you don’t know what you have to create and working in increments makes sense to find that out. But there’s also stuff that you can plan for ahead. If you don’t you will end up with a worse product and you will also drive people mad.

Everything About UX Audit and How Businesses Can Benefit from It
You can look up economic studies on the marginal utility (satisfaction/benefit) of wealth for an individual, and it’s absolutely the consensus that it declines rapidly the more you have. Take $100,000 from a middle class person, and you have a massive negative impact on their life. Take $100,000 from a billionaire, and the impact is basically nothing. It’s similar with businesses - the more wealth they have, the less marginal utility they get from it. Take $1,000,000 from a small business, you bankrupt it, while it’s nothing but a rounding error for a large enterprise.

If you’re an anarchistic or libertarian, you won’t believe much in taxes at all, that’s fine. But if you believe the government is useful, then the funding/taxes must come from somewhere, and I believe progressive taxation is the best way to do this - the way to raise taxes with the most minimal impact on utility. Virtually all nations do this, for the poor-to-fairly-wealthy individuals and businesses. However, the insanely wealthy individuals and businesses wield their power to change laws, and pay insanely low tax rates, shifting the tax burden onto everyone else. This is the part that I consider unethical - the uber-wealthy and lawmakers teaming up for the benefit of the few at the cost of many.
I am concerned that UBI as a whole will make the divorce between economy and productivity, just like artificial pumping by the government divorces stock market from the economy.

An individual will have this illusion of they are fine in life, as long as UBI coming in, even though they are not productive at all.

Stability of a government is never guaranteed. What if one day, for whatever reason, whether the government go rogue, or the government has no more money or assets, decide to stop UBI. A lot of people will suddenly be unprepared to come to terms with the actual reality, that they don't have the needed marketable skills to survive in the world because they have been living off UBI all these times without cultivating themselves.

While you look that up, remember that devices like Macs and iPads are often actually shared by multiple users.

Claiming your observations and experience override statistics and many other people's preferences is what's laughable.
If you used it you would know. It’s fucking terrifying. I used to use it and hours would just disappear without even noticing. It also destroys your attention span. It turns out than if you spend two hours watching some novel thing every 15 seconds, it becomes much harder to focus on a task or watch a movie, where you need to follow a cohesive plan for two hours.

PSA: Twitter has been very badly hacked. Apparently their internal systems were compromised allowing posts as all kinds of accounts. So... if your favorite celebrity, business leader, intellectual, or politician says something stupid... hmm... actually never mind. I don't see any difference between hacked Twitter and normal Twitter. Carry on.

How would decentralization help with objectivity?
When I bought my house a couple years ago, I had to put my signature to make a big and urgent money transfer. The bank however didn't accept my signature for some reason, though I had been using it every time with them.

It appeared that normally they not really check if it matches, but this time given the transfer amount they did. And it just so happened that the signature they had scanned in their system was the first one I ever made as a kid (30yrs ago) when I opened the account.

Finally after many retries they turned the monitor to show me the expected signature and let me practice it on a piece of paper, so it would pass some other approval stage.

With a 200 yard line waiting behind me, sweating profusely, I finally managed to reproduce something. The sale went through, luckily, and immediately after I ditched that bank account.
What are people doing as alternatives to these kinds of interviews? The research is quite clear that technical interviews are worse than useless (literally -- they will select for the wrong traits in your candidate pool), yet they still seem to be the dominant hiring practice.

My current company does a few rounds of low-key chatting, some about technical stuff, then a 1 to 2 month trial period with the understanding that there is no guarantee of a job at the end, it only becomes permanent if it's a good fit on both ends. Obviously this is time consuming and expensive, but it works because we're a small and very stable company, which I realize is very much _not_ the norm. This does work great, though. They've managed to build a team of excellent, autonomous, highly skilled developers who stick around for the long haul. Wow, that sounds a bit self-aggrandizing -- I'm really thinking of my co-workers, I hardly count myself in that category. Maybe someday.

Anyway, I'm genuinely curious what other models you all use that work well. By "work" I guess I mean result in high quality and long lasting additions to a team.

> Nobody 'owes' anybody a living

The literal purpose of UBI is to ensure that taxpayers do owe each citizen a fixed amount set at an average living.
Making that a social obligation based on birthright rather than a potential future entitlement based on need is how it's different from social insurance schemes. The assumption if you're able to work and not interested in looking for it you probably don't need the money as much as other people certainly isn't what's wrong with current welfare states.

You don't have to believe that "folks not working are immoral" to believe that helping those fortunate enough to be able to choose not to work at the expense of those that aren't [whether by reduced benefits or higher taxes] isn't what welfare states were for.
Pantomime to Trump speeches is thing on TikTok. This one went viral outside the app:

Other than that apparently TikTok'ers were behind the small show up at the last Trump rally - though I don't quite understand that one.

Anyway. Compared to Twitter, Facebook or Reddit, the levels of politics on TikTok is tiny and done in a much less agressive way.

I don't think it is: perhaps your browser or image view is struggling to display such a large image. I say this as for me it displays identically to how the website displays on my phone.
> Is there a fully objective way to share this news? Of course not - the very act of publishing an article about church transmission is political - looking for that data was a result of bias.

There are several ways to be objective about it. One is to write an article about the spread of covid in social gatherings, and include church gatherings as part of that piece. Another is to put the data into context, quantitatively. Yet another is to avoid the use of charged words, phrases, or examples. That article was designed to be political, so that is how it ended up.

I'm not saying that you could write an article that everyone agreed was apolitical. Heck, if an evidence based article was written about the roundness of the Earth, someone would find a way to politicize it. Yet an article can be written that most people would agree is factual and avoids bias.
I’m sure the true answer is ambiguous, but “personal data” by that definition seems to imply almost any form of account creation. For sure, that seems to imply you can’t use email addresses as identifiers. Maybe it implies that so long as the data isn’t de facto joinable with side data (phone numbers, email addresses) it may be ok.

While I can see how you got that impression, it is not how it happened.

I carefully explained all my suggestions and backed them up with UI conventions, implementation details and code reuse. Nothing helped.

For example, the same data could be edited from 3 subtly different screens. I suggested it should be broken out into a separate dialog that could be reused. It would be more consistent, be more in line with virtually all other software, quicker to implement and less error prone. No go.
I am glad I am not the only one who saw this and immediately thought of Eve. I was always surprised at how many people got suckered into this scam on eve even after it was well known.

CCP's policy on allowing this type of grift is fair, if greed overtakes rational thinking then the 'victim' has no one to blame. Granted in this case they used trusted twitter users to trojan their scam, not sure that has happened on eve.
The "but" is that a million developers somewhat interested in the language but for the lack of platform support wouldn't sum to a relevant interest. I think that's a shame, but still truth.
I started taking Prozac a few months ago. It might just be a coincidence but I checked myself into drug addiction treatment a couple months later. I’ve stopped taking almost everything but the Prozac and my life is immeasurably better and my depression is gone. I’m happy for the first time in many years.

This to me hints at the effect of Prozac possibly being far more complex than “chemical imbalance”. I’ve never found that terminology that useful. Fixing my depression required a lot of chemical changes yes, but also major changes in my voluntary behavior. All of it was connected in an intricate tapestry and Prozac only plays one part. If I tapered off Prozac, I suspect I would still be happy, but I don’t know that my depression would have ever resolved properly without Prozac. The side effects are mild so I am in no rush to discontinue.

Exactly. Humans are incredibly capable of solving major problems if we have a desire and urge to solve them. This whole instant entertainment phenomenon is sucking the human desire to change out the window. "Is your life hard?" your phone asks. "Well just reach into your pocket and forget all of your problems! Be entertained instantly! Don't worry about fixing your problems, just forget them!"
There’s a difference between antipsychotic medication and medication like SSRIs or anxiety medication. Not only in effects/potentially in necessity, but antipsychotic medication can be very dysphoric and sedating, whereas some people experience SSRIs positively and others negatively, and where anxiety meds are generally well liked (to the point of dependence becoming a real risk). Also whereas antipsychotics and anti anxiolytics are generally quite effective at treating their specific purpose, SSRIs are relatively ineffective, and anti anxiolytics are often not considered long term solutions (at least to GAD) in part because of the tolerance/dependence/addiction effects.

So I don’t think it makes sense to paint all psychiatric medicine with the same brush

Original question:
Out of curiosity, why the +1?
I downvoted you for two reasons.

First, expecting someone to commit to only working for a short time period is discriminatory. Only certain people could commit to such a thing, such as those with a low cost of living (no family) or those who are already independently wealthy. No regular professional with obligations is going to commit to that.

Second, if you can't tell whether or not a person is a good employee after 10 weeks then you're not a good manager.
My twitter feed was pretty slow without the Blue Checks. The dialogue was way more in the middle. There was suddenly little conversation about today's meme (cake? idk.) The whole thing felt pretty civilized.

It made me realize how much content these twitter blue checks are creating. It's crazy.
It would actually be cool if this was a regular thing -- the 15th of the month is officially the Twitter Sabbath, where the blue checks are muted, and only the voices of the masses are heard.
Most floating points aren't integers anyway, so if you think of it as casting 256 to the nearest u8 it's correct, same as rounding 0.25 to 0.

NaN to 0 is a bit more concerning, but inconvienence and compatibility need to be weighed against catching every error (no type system will catch every bug).

This gap is covered mostly by internships.
Anyone who intentionally did that would soon find themselves without accommodation or food. If it's because they can't budget, it could be paid to them weekly or even daily. People who can't manage their own lives (e.g. mentally ill, drug addicts) would need to be given help, whatever safety net there is.
If anybody is thinking of getting this the Hayes translation is probably the easiest to read.
This plays nicely into the idea that human consciousness is really just our brain meats way of resolving the internal understanding of the world with the outside understanding of the world.

Mental health, and any issues you have with it, are a hitch in that system. But to assume that you can fix is by only affecting one part(the internal understanding of the world) seems flawed for me. Same can be said, like in the article, of only fixing the outside understanding of the world (chemical changes).

So let me add my voice to your message, don't lose hope! We are a ball of walnuty textured jelly that tracks changes between the inside view of the world with the outside input of the world using lightning and chemicals. Its complex, hard, and the fault surface is huge.

Keep going, try new solutions, find someone one who helps you build the solution for you. But please, _try_.

I'm not saying we can't know or that our understanding won't improve. I'm saying right now we pretend to know more than we do. LSD has a reliable effect in the short term, just like torching a plot of land in the Amazon has a reliable effect in the short term. It's the long term effects that are subject to the rules of complex systems and not machines.

Bitcoin is around 270GB. Monero is around 64GB. These aren't trivial downloads, and then you'll need to leave the wallet running to stay in sync or you'll have lengthy waits while it catches up the next time you run.

Most people can open a credit card or bank account in 30 minutes or less. Waiting a week for a blockchain to download is a non-starter for most.
Properly testing for a "solution engineer" (which is what you appear to be testing for) would pose a question that is a legitimate "software" problem and "domain experts" would be in areas such as say "electronic payments". Candidate would be expected to demonstrate ability to devise proposals for a 'functional solution to a business requirement' using available domain experts.

The key phrase is yours: "real world problems". Your hypothetical misses that by a generous mile.

And I apologize about this but we're discussing actual issues with software recruitment:

One major problem noted by senior engineers subject to these interviews is the competence level of the interviewer. I had this one guy, a "principal engineer", ask me about "Optimistic locks" as his initial query into my knowledge of concurrent systems. It took a lot of self-restraint to not blurt out "You mean optimistic locking?"

It is amazing to me that we somehow managed to hire very good software workers in the 90s without any of these shenanigans. One thing that does stand out from my memory of the 90s: we had senior colleagues (with literal white hair) in senior engineering positions. Go figure.
The incentives associated with a temporary stipend are totally different from the incentives associated with a permanent guaranteed stipend. I would argue that the only way to truly test the impact of UBI is to make actual, lifetime guarantees of UBI payments.

The way a worker uses a temporary stipend will be greatly influenced by the knowledge that the payments will end, at which point the worker will be required to support themselves again. With that knowledge, it makes perfect sense to spend the UBI stipend on furthering your education, paying off debt, etc. This strikes me as the logical use of a temporary UBI stipend. This is what I would do.

But is the same true about a permanent UBI stipend? Maybe, maybe not.

These experiments are not testing the impacts of a real UBI.

So much about the original announcements was overhyped PR. The original assembly was super-crappy and super-gappy. The folks running the two projects were exhausted and declared victory, then moved on.

The simple solution of stating your name + address (or receiving a ballot addressed to you by mail) then having your name checked off the list when you return the ballot is friction-less, robust, and extremely difficult to attack at scale.

Over-engineering the system's security would most likely do more harm than good.

There's a difference between "technology isn't in a vacuum" and "some people can't even write articles about handshakes without mentioning Trump". That's not asking for people to be apolitical, it's being surprised that Trump appears to be living rent free in this person's head.
In my opinion humanity has put in the effort to get first world countries running water, sewer systems, electricity, access to the internet - all luxuries that a lot of the world can not afford. Because we don't have to worry about these things, I believe we are obliged to spend time to problem solve and tackle the biggest challenges the world has today - and not waste it watching 200 8 second videos before -- drooling off to sleep -- (not the best way to put that)

I feel this is particularly apt as depression has grown considerably over the past few decades. Could be the result of destigmatization, or could be the result of society worsening in some way.
