I notice the same issues as I approach 50.

Here's what seems to work for me:

1. Plenty of cardiovascular exercise.

2. Eat well, including plenty of green plants.

3. Get plenty of sleep.

4. Limit online consumption and other unimportant inputs (TV, gaming, podcasts, etc).

5. Practice being bored^W^Wmindfulness. This could be meditating, or just sitting outside contemplatively, or not consuming content while performing #1.

6. Keep spot checking yourself for where you're coming up short with the above 5 items. It's all too easy to fix the issue, feel great, and then fall out of the above habits. But you can't. You've got to stick to the plan.
Effective Shell: Getting Help
If you made better software and Autodesk acquired it and incorporated it in their product, it would still achieve the goal of making consumers better off.

In fact, it would probably make more consumers better off than if your company had remained independent: Users who were unwilling or unable to abandon Autodesk in order to use your software would be able to use it if it became part of Autodesk's offering.

Plus you'd be rich.

My friend uses "aerosols" for the latter term
I don't use anything but hot water and "vigorous agitation", no. Though as noted I do end up using shampoo (diluted Dr Bronners) on occasion. For the rest i use a coarse washcloth, and I think I come out cleaner than those slathering themselves with "product". I'm currently talking myself out of using soap on the pits, though I think it will take much more time (and probably some other lifestyle changes) to stop using it on the nethers.
Studies have found that a combination of multi-layered cotton and chiffon/silk masks prevents intake of both large and small droplets. Silk/chiffon act magnetically on smaller particles to keep you from breathing them in, while the thick cotton layers stop large droplets. The aggregate effect is similar to N95, but more washable and reusable. It blows my mind that this was discovered a couple months ago and the government still hasn’t funded the mass production of such masks. After I read the study, I bought 2 masks on Etsy.com: a multilayered cotton mask and a silk mask. I wear both when I go out. What’s great is that I don’t just protect others from me, but I also protect myself from others to a large extent (as opposed to just wearing the cotton mask). As for comfort, silk is light and thin, so it doesn’t add any noticeable discomfort on top of the cotton mask.

https://news.uchicago.edu/story/homemade-masks-made-silk-and...

Note: Newer studies have found that even just a thick cotton mask does somewhat protect you (not as much as cotton + silk of course, but they protect others from you quite effectively). You still need to be careful, generally avoid indoor environments with strangers, and socially distance. Not that that disclaimer is super necessary, because other studies have found that masks do not make people behave more recklessly :) If anything, they make you more careful and acutely aware of COVID risks.
Inline raw links are annoying to read because either the link is properly constructed and just repeats the text leading up to it, or is a horrible mess of tracking GUIDs. Since most people aren’t going to click the link it serves more people to get the link out of the way.
Lots of visible likes and shares lead people to spread more misinformation
I'm asking for concrete evidence that his opinions have predictive power which has been assessed independently.

If no such evidence exists then all we have is just-so story-telling, which can be discounted.

The fact that a lot of people seem to believe his ideas are convincing is irrelevant to this discussion.

People believe all kinds of things because they sound plausible to them - partly because other people have made careers out of working out how to push people's "This sounds plausible so I shall believe it" buttons.

Which is why reproducible evidence and independent peer review are things. And why it's absolutely reasonable - in fact required - to question assertions that can't be grounded in them.

Because we’re also constantly filling rooms with the CO2 that we exhale.

The CO2 meter acts as a proxy for how much exhaled “stuff” is lingering about.

So if your CO2 meter shows that the room is at ~400ppm [:’(], rather than 800 or 1000, then you can deduce that the room is well ventilated.

I’m other words, whatever ventilation removed the excess CO2 most likely also removed the aerosols at the same time.

> In case anyone doesn't know this, for just about any venture-backed company that has gone through YC or another incubator or raised from an early-stage VC, you can pretty much automatically get $100k of credits from Google or AWS.

This seems very backward, because you also don’t really need those credits anymore at that point.

I've heard the accuracy on the Pm2.5 ones at least is way off.

I just moved to a place where I need to keep an eye on Pm2.5 in particular.
How to Pretend That You Are Smart
when I worked for a startup, an email got us $250K in credits. That was enough to run the compute for the company for at least a year. Now, we had a nice deal with our VCs, and AWS really liked us, but it really was a "asking made the difference".
seems a bit questionable to me as well, as it seems pretty close to just straight-up nationalizing them...

For this purpose we are building up a development team from the ground up. You will be one of the first engineers and will have a big part in shaping the culture and the way we work. We are looking to bring the startup ethos to the corporate world and get to combine the best of both worlds: ample funding, a huge customer base to deploy to and lots of freedom.

I'm the lead of the full stack team and we are building the services behind our products (mainly F#/C# on GCP, but we always look for the right tool for the job).

You can learn more and apply here https://valora.digital (bottom of the page). For the ML position, please get in touch with our unit’s head directly at michael.wirth@valora.com.
The problem with Sowell's book (and thinking) is that it's outdate, not that it's wrong.

Sure, many people find their confirmation bias reinforced by it ... but otherwise there are more useful books to really learn about economics: https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/wiki/reading#wiki_general...
My dude, we get it, you like your IDEs. You don't have to mention it in every comment thread.

If you find Visual Studio and CLion to be your desired work environments, both of them have support for Rust code via extensions. No it won't be as perfect as what you're used to, but it will be more than sufficient for most people.
That's because most privacy design is done by nerds who think "CIA/NSA/GCHQ/Mossad/FSB etc. might secretly whisk me away to Gitmo for my thoughtcrimes" is a far more pressing problem in people's lives than "my partner is a coercive, controlling domestic abuser", or "my employer might fire me for trying to set up a union"...
> If someone with coronavirus sneezes in a room, the large heavy droplets will quickly fall to the ground.

This is the slightly incorrect part with COVID.

Traditionally, this would be an appropriate description for other droplet transmission (like the flu). However, it seems COVID has an above average ability to survive in extremely fine droplets - think mist-sized particles that CAN float in the air for an extended period of time (given the right circumstances).

This nuance is challenging to convey. For healthcare workers, it's important because it likely means standard droplet based precautions are not enough. However, it also seems that full airborne precautions (PAPR's) are overkill. My take is N95's do enough to dehumidify droplets and ultimately break down particles.

For the general public, the nuance is less important. Most don't have access to proper fitting N95 (or better) masks, so they're stuck wearing cloth or surgical masks. They should simply think of COVID as airborne because they're likely not wearing the proper gear.
Softpanorama (1989 – Today)
How typical is this? You'd think if this was "typically" the case, you'd see alarm monitoring signs everywhere, but you don't.
Great, now apply that logic to automobiles in general.

I think more people understand the situation with COVID than some realize, that it's a trainwreck from top to bottom and a lot of the decisions being made are far more political than they should be, as evidenced by the sheer amount of hypocrisy surrounding the supposed safety of protesting for left wing causes vs anything else. Even if you're totally right, the optics of this hypocrisy have created a permanent and un-mendable fracture where a large chunk of the country is never going to believe anything Coumo or De Belasio say about COVID.
This is getting into sea lioning territory here. And it misses the point: This isn't about lawyering out of one specific claim. It's that when you are being investigated for misconduct and deception[0], your word something is true is no longer a viable discussion point.

If you can't prove X-Client-Data isn't able to be used for fingerprinting, we should assume that it is. And just like DoubleClick data, even if it isn't used now, we should assume Google may alter the deal later, as it has done many times before.

In addition, the company isn't the only victim in a ransomware attack, its customers are too.

A marketplace of half-baked ideas
I think this is one case where the end of the product is not Google's fault.

Books got enormous push back from legacy publishers. They also had trouble with copyright law around orphaned works, but copyright protection increasing over time from 14yrs to 90yrs after the death of the author (and moving from requiring registration to being default) really made it hard for them to do what they wanted.

It's a shame that something initially intended to "promote the progress of science and useful arts" is now used to inhibit it.
Still no gorilla glass what makes this device useless without cover.

Airtable | San Francisco, CA or Mountain View, CA | Onsite | Software Engineer, Product Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, SRE

[COVID-19: The whole company is currently working remotely. Employees can be fully remote until at least the end of 2020.]

Airtable's mission is to expand human productivity by letting everyone create tools to organize their world. Our current product includes a real-time collaborative database and a rich set of components for building tools using this database. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people can repurpose to create their own applications. Our roadmap is filled with enhancements and additions to this toolkit that will push the boundaries of Airtable's capabilities.

I work at Airtable on the platform team where we're allowing others to develop new capabilities for our users/customers. I chose to join after meeting some incredible people and learning about the culture.

Here's a blog post about some of the technical decisions behind a recent project to add a lightweight scripting layer on top of the core product: https://airtable.news/creating-a-scripting-environment-for-a...

We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.

We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

The problem with systemic racism is that nobody seems able to point to actual examples of it in the US in 2020.
Sowell has some well-thought-out views on these issues, and he’s been expressing many of them for decades, but he has a curmudgeonly side as well. And I think if you understand his more well-thought-out views on these issues, I think you’ll also at least understand his curmudgeonly attitude.

Oddly enough, what you’re doing now—if it were done to dismiss the thoughts of a “progressive” black person—would probably be characterized as “tone policing”, and to whatever extent that’s a legitimate concept I think it applies to someone who makes his fair share of curmudgeonly remarks in the context of many decades of otherwise thoughtful and reasoned argument.
This isn't a technology problem. Congress could put whatever restrictions on UBI it wants to. The technology would be required to implement whatever kind of UBI system Congress made into law. Congress could also change the law any time in the future -- and every time party control over congress changes, you can bet they will push for tweaks to UBI that they promised to their base.

The most likely outcome, which happens with many other kinds of government programs, would be for Congress to delegate significant authority over UBI to some regulatory bureaucracy in the executive branch.

Similar to the way the IRS, EPA, and FDA work, there would be some department of UBI with broad discretion over how the law is interpreted, the ability create additional regulations and fine people who do not obey them, etc.

You can't solve this problem with code. It's a political problem.
Dang it where will I go for actually free tax prep next year?

CreditKarma has worked well for me the past two years. I have W2 and 1099s and K1s and they never asked me to upgrade to handle additional forms. I think I used tax act before that and always had to pay something To unlock those “weird” forms.
This type of infrastructure credits can really accelerate a bootstrapped startup, unfortunately almost every major provider of such freebies have now moved on to 'Contact your nearest Accelerator/VC' type model.

Google was the first to move that way, now Microsoft has cancelled its Bootstrap program and even Facebook has done away with its Startup Accelerator program in favour of 'Contact your nearest Accelerator/VC we approve of' model.

I was personally benefitted by Facebook's aforementioned Accelerator program. I applied for my previous startup's privacy focused chat-app-network dating platform for their bootstrap phase, but they directly approved it for their Accelerator phase through which I received $80,000 worth benefits incl. $15,000 AWS credits on which I ran my product; these kind of help makes life or death difference for a disabled soloprenuer from a village in India running bootstrapped startup(Facebook doesn't know this).

Now anyone in my position is at the mercy of some Accelerator or VC.
98point6 | Product Security Engineer, Engineering Manager, Automation Engineer, Backend Engineer, Frontend Engineer | OnSite Seattle, WA | Full-time | https://98point6.com/careers#open-roles

Hi, I’m Thomas and I’m Director of Engineering at 98point6. We’re hiring for a number of roles, like Product Security Engineer, Engineering Manager, and Automation Engineer. Our goal is to make access to primary care as easy as googling something, without needing to make a financial tradeoff. We were seeing exciting growth before COVID-19 and that growth has accelerated even more as we help support the response to this global pandemic in the US. Some quick mentions of the technology we’re using: all our infra is in AWS, IaC using CDK (and some Terraform), Typescript, Kotlin, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL. We are usually ONSITE in the office. During Covid, we are fully remote. Looking forward to hearing from you!
