I’m surprised no one has chimed in with their own experience yet. I was in one of these programs (well, a moderate version of one, I didn’t skip grades or go to college young) and I remember being told all the time that we were the future leaders of the world. I became good friends with many of these people and really, we all turned out really normal. Not much different from folks not in those programs.
I think I’ll do more research on the history of these programs because I had no idea that it was a relic of WWII and the Cold War. Really interesting to me.

Bingo. You don’t get the platform Greta got because you’re a threat to the agenda...
"The team hypothesized that a sealed container on the ocean floor could provide ways to improve the overall reliability of datacenters. On land, corrosion from oxygen and humidity, temperature fluctuations and bumps and jostles from people who replace broken components are all variables that can contribute to equipment failure."

None of this have anything to do with being underwater except perhaps temperature fluctuations.

Temperature fluctuations should be easy to manage on land without using energy, you can just run them as hot since no-one goes inside.

They were lucky to be using hot springs with temperatures north of 80°C (176°F). Not sure what the median temperature of a hot spring is but anecdotally it seems many are not that hot, which makes them perfect breeding ground for amebas and also the Legionella bacteria.

> A dangerous person would be some environmentalist that actually knows what he is talking about, and who is popular.

This danger is inactivated. Not anymore. The day before yesterday, I meet a guy that told me that he is being sued by "ecologist activities" [sic] (after annoying a Guardia Civil repeatedly denouncing furtive hunting, I think)... and a spanish judge accepted the case. Simply surrealist. It seems that being ecologist is now illegal in the European Union

He now must to pay in advance a 1000 euro legal bond, that obviously is the real objective here. To economically broke an environmentalist is really easy nowadays. If not you always can jail he/she abusing of a technical legal trivia
I personally don’t want somebody supplying goods to customers who want them, coming together in a consensual transaction jailed. Where one person then decides to alter their own brain chemistry with their own consent. 5 years not long? Ok.
My company is fully remote. I schedule a 30 minute 1:1 social call with a random colleague once a week. I find this is a good balance for me personally -- it ensures I get enough social contact (in addition to my other meetings and 1:1s with my managers) but it's not a huge chunk of my work week taken up.

On the calls we talk about random stuff like our hobbies, what's going on in our lives, what we did this week. Occasionally we talk a bit about work but we usually try to keep it as socially focused as possible.

I've found that it contrasts well with the typical situation of being in an office. In office I find there is continuous social interaction, but it can be more shallow (banter, quick chat, etc), whereas a 1:1 format like this allows you to develop a deeper connection with each person and have more nuanced discussions.

Disregarding the fact that opioids are still illegal without a prescription (much like meth, and marijuana) there's plenty of articles that show that legalizing marijuana has lowered opioid use in those states.
Sorry to be nit picky, I get your greater point, but why do you say she’s “ill.” Seems like a precarious assumption and I’d assume that if this is verified by a psychologist they wouldn’t be announcing it to the world. Sometimes being angry is just being angry imho.
I’m not sure that language creates reality in the way these people seem to think

This is the core dispute underlying a lot of critical theory vs the world culture wars. Certain types of people, typically those who have spent a long time in the education system, believe words and ideas are incredibly powerful, so powerful in fact that you can change the world by changing what words people use. This can be seen in a lot of the (IMO) bizarre or dysfunctional stuff coming out of Silicon Valley lately, like word vector models that were "debiased" to make them give politically correct but false answers about the world, this GitHub debacle, capitalising word black when talking about black people etc..

IMHO most people who haven't been exposed to the professoriate don't think like this. The function is seen as more important than the form. Stating something that's false is true doesn't make it true, it just makes the speaker seem stupid and/or dangerous.

I challenge to do a google image search for faces of meth and come back and say that again with a straight face. That stuff is a poison that destroys both mind and body. If you think self control is enough to keep that stuff from rotting your face, making your hair fall out and keep yourself from going crazy you are foolish. Comparing it to ADHD medications is plain and simple stupid. If you think meth is the drug you need to focus you already need professional help because there are lots of stimulants out there, even illegal, that have nowhere near the side effects and consequences of meth.
Well, the supply chain for illegal drugs hurts a LOT of people, but that’s because of the illegally.

In a world with legal drugs, you’d still want to prosecute someone for giving money to cartels, but there would be much less incentive for people to do so in the first place.
I think I might have replied politely, but also kept a mental note, "careful: possible insane colleague".

It's not a complete replacement, though. For example, a couple of months ago we had a discussion about websites scanning local ports, prompted by [1]. This can in fact be done without Javascript, in which case uMatrix would still protect you, whereas NoScript would not.

It's definitely illegal, but as Damore found out the hard way, the various "equality" agencies in charge of enforcing these rules are mostly controlled by feminists who think discrimination against men is brilliant.

Sex discrimination laws at this point are a joke. They're not enforced. It'd be more honest to repeal them.
Agreed - it’s the innovation in application of the technology rather than pure speed that has made mobiles far more interesting than desktops and laptops. Photography is the big ticket with most buyers now - the “how can I make every photo of my baby look like it is taken by a professional to my friends and family when it’s me just tapping once?”

I honestly think Apple could kill off all but professional photography and film with their own versions of photography kit such as Moment lenses, DJI Gimbals and associated AI correction tech to get rid of the shortcomings. Add in more powerful noise reduction in low light that their AI will soon enough bring and your phone camera is a better photographer than you will be without a great camera, training and practice.

The last real innovation in Intel chips in laptops and desktops I can remember that had a significant impact was the accelerated encryption and that’s years ago.

I’m honestly excited by Apple’s new chips going into laptops - Will we get webcam calls that have their image quality improved and background noise filtered by AI for example?

Ha, good to see you in the comments too!
> I'd suggest, be true to yourself, be true to your ethics.

This. You will forget the people who hurt you. But you will remember the people you hurt. You will accept the things you tried and failed. But you will regret not trying. Going against your ethics will leave scars on your soul, and the reasons for doing so will seem so stupid in hindsight.

But it takes some time to find your true ethics, and separate it from merely what other people say you should do.

'So we have these fingerprints, and we think they belong to this guy we already have prints on file for. Can you give us a yes/no answer if they match up?'

seems like a pretty low bar for evidence. Seems like the kind of thing that could heavily skew towards telling you what you want to hear. Maybe someone else knows if it actually works like that, the writeup made it sound like that to me.

I'm just some guy who saw a tv documentatary at some point about how forensic techniques that worked like that got called into question when conflicting DNA evidence started turning up.
Then you should waste your own personal money on it. It has made the problem worse. The illegal drug trade to the US is now almost as big as big oil. It's an industry in the hundreds of $ billions. This type of thinking has created millions of addicts in the USA along with helping make many very rich and powerful criminals globally.

You are glossing over the illegal firearms. Would it really be better to wait for the murder.
Thanks for responding, and for the feedback. I really appreciate it (hard to get a 3rd person perspective sometimes!) Some of what you have said is hard to hear because (from my viewpoint), the emails/intros are in good faith. For example, you say "big shots" / "power seeking" - certainly, in any organization, there are just some incredibly talented & experienced people, who are always down with providing useful knowledge, if folks just asked... wouldn't you want to connect to those people as soon as you can? Wouldn't you want to accelerate or own learning, or support someone else who wants to do that?

I've always loved having "context" about/around my job, and like getting to know co-workers outside of my team bubble.

Is there a better way I could have phrased some of the questions, the structure, or even the approach (to achieve the same objective of meeting the smart/helpful people & learning a lot).

Again, thanks again for sharing the critical feedback...

What is the risk with using Bitwarden in this circumstance? That I trust one server of the company but not the other and therefore a bad actor now has my creds?
This is ridiculous. The poster clearly meant recreational abuse of meth. Your anecdotal experience with ADHD medicine does not warrant advocation of meth across the board for your sake. The difficulty you’re having is a direct consequence of how toxic and life destroying meth is.

Look at it this way. Yes, it's depressing. But when these companies got big and great, they weren't using these policies. I know, I was there in the early years and saw how it changed over time.

These practices are ultimately the undoing of these firms. Not now, not next year, but the future is moving away from them. The decadence that allows them to rationalise picking employees based on what they look like is killing their ability to innovate and tearing them apart internally.

I know so many experienced Googlers that leaked out of the organisation over the past 5-6 years or so, many of them citing this sort of decline. Why take risks or go the extra mile when you'll automatically lose to a woman who does nothing beyond simply turning up?

The flip side of this is that momentum is shifting towards a new generation of company. This sort of thing takes a long time, but the reason Google/FB/etc buy so many startups is they know that's where the real risks are taken, where the real work gets done. They can't produce what they need internally anymore. That's your opportunity. Instead of looking from the outside through the window and wishing you were part of a culture that doesn't exist anymore, look outwards, towards what you can build yourself. Then sell what you made back to them. Or don't. Your choice.

Stop it with the hyperbole, as you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about.

Methamphetamine is routinely prescribed for the treatment ADHD (also obesity and narcolepsy, amongst other off-label uses), and is sold under the brand name of Desoxyn (in the US). Meth IS medication!

On that note, maybe don’t believe everything you read about drugs online.
OLAP databases can/are still Relational databases. The difference is that they’re optimised for different workloads.

SQLite/MySQL/Postgres/MSSQL etc are all OLTP databases whose primary operation is based around operations on single (or few) rows.

OLAP databases like ClickHouse/DuckDB, Monet, Redshift, etc are optimised for operating on columns and performing operations like bulk aggregations, group-bys, pivots, etc on a large subsets or whole tables.

If I was recording user purchases/transactions: SQLite.

If I was aggregating and analysing a batch of data on a machine: DuckDB.

I read an interesting engineering blog from Spotify(?) where in their data pipeline instead of passing around CSV’s or rows of JSON, passed around SQLite databases: DuckDB would probably be a good fit there.

Similarly we do a lot of unicode bit packing on Dwitter.net since the code size limit is in characters (140) not bytes.

There are a few compressors allowing an increase of arbitrary ASCII chars, with the most allowing 194 chars including decoder, the compressors are themselves dweets! : https://www.dwitter.net/d/11852 This is not the most efficient way to store bits in unicode but there is a balance with dwitter because you need to fit the decoder in the same 140 characters.

There are also some more specialist methods such as packing image or other binary data and decode using string.charCodeAt() e.g https://www.dwitter.net/d/12808 this is not limited to exact bit word sizes, for instance I packed this 3 color image efficiently by encoding it numerically in base3, ~1.6 bits per pixel, the decoding just requires division by power's of 3 and mod3 (generalization of bitwise shifting and masking): https://www.dwitter.net/d/19166

[edit] I should explain, that last example combines the general code compressor with the image bit packing technique, the image it encoded as 5 pixels (3 color) per 8bit characters but doesn't use the higher bits of unicode to allow the whole code to be encoded using the above compressor which fits two chars up to 8bit into UTF-16 and wraps it in the decoder.

If I can be so bold to offer up some of what I have learned in my short existence (am in my mid thirties), none of which is my own wisdom but simply cemented in place by my own experiences.

After going through a tough time with a parent in my early twenties, where an accident involving brain hemorrhaging caused a massive shift in personality and speech, I can not stress enough how good advice it is to savour and fully utilize each moment with your loved ones while you can. He ended up passing away less then a year after the accident.

Get rid of your fomo. There will always be new tech. There will always be something new. You can't do, see, experience, read, learn it all. Having gone through my twenties often in crippling fear of being "left behind", I look back now and see that I enjoyed those years less because of this need to be up on everything, which just had the oppposite intended effect.

Your health is important no matter your age, your mental health doubly so. Strive to work smart, not hard. Realize when you are being pushed into a situation where your health is going to be impacted, and stand your ground against it. I have gone through three burnouts, each one more serious than the previous one. One caused a relationship to end. Last one required me to seek professional assistance (which by the way helped immensely and I now openly talk to people about without shame). Know your limits, and work on pushing them in a reasonable manner, but do so on your terms if that is what you want to do.

Realize how difficult it is to live with another human being for a long time, and how rare it is to find somebody who genuinenly loves you for who you are as a person (both the good and the bad) and will stand by your side through thick and thin (and your own bullshit). Treasure that kind of relationship, above anything else. Momentary opportunities come and go. Never jepordize what you have for short time gains.

And be financially smart and frugal. Save. But also live life.
