I have the opposite regrets.

I have a very persuadable personality, and despite my anxiety in social interactions, I was often pushed into things that everyone was doing, but I wasn't enjoying doing. So much time was spent playing games I don't like, doing sports that weren't my strength.

When I reflect on my younger years, I'd probably had been less sullen and depressed if I allowed myself to stay in my apartments, studying, making music, and just not concerning so much about people's invitations. I should've just taken the damn violin classes instead of going to tennis courts; or written my damn novel, instead of going to the party watching people drink alcohol and blow on ping-pong balls.

For those who enjoy parties, they were fond memories. For me, they only exacerbated my loneliness.

There are two realizations that came to me too late: 1). I don't need to appease to every interests of my immediate circle to maintain friendships; it's in fact somewhat counter-productive. 2). however niche a hobby is, there are probably enough people also doing it to give me enough society, especially in the age of internet.

By first asserting to myself my actual passions, and seeking friends based on that, I actually get a broader circle of friends in a more organic way.
There are plenty of published articles depicting the working conditions at amazon warehouses.
there are worker willing to unionize (which is a hard and difficult thing to do) calling out on these conditions.

You picked a single piece of the narrative, the pay and its relation to the minimum wage. And pretty much ignored the rest of the narrative.
This is the bias I was talking about. The information exists, but you seemed to pick the part of the information that coincide with your POV, this is called bias.
Bias is normal and benign. calling out the bias is not meant to dismiss your opinion, it's meant to maybe cause you to be aware of it.

When someone shows me how I ignore facts because of my biases, I might feel uncomfortable, but I'm happy for that to happen. For me, this is the best kind of dialog.
Nowhere in the essay does he argue that the three qualities of independent thinkers are exclusive to startup founders. You clearly feel some type of way about Paul Graham.
Unrelated, but if you don't mind, how did you/your employer manage to get a EB-1A filed?
I can pull quotes from the articles you're linking too. Here's one from the first one:

> Trump has argued that Iran is violating the agreement struck under President Obama, although he has offered no evidence to support his claim and his administration has twice certified to Congress that Iran is in compliance.

For your second, that is no indication of any violation of the deal.
And that is the problem.

People do not say "that's a job I won't give a shit about, so I should apply!"

People do very often say they left their jobs because of their managers. That means at best they felt like unappreciated employees.
You don't need the actual green card to start working, but you need to wait for your temporary Employment Authorization card (you should also get a temporary Parole card to be able to travel outside the US). Not a lawyer, but I went through this process 5-ish years ago, that's how it was at the time.

You can probably start interviewing without these cards (as long as you disclose your atypical schedule to the employer), but you won't be able to start working.
That's an employment law question but I don't believe as a general rule that it's a violation to require a foreign language.

I disagree: IEEE 754 is quite elegant. The fact that they are monotonically increasing in correspondence to their bit representation is one of the many nice things about it.

Like every blog post or article that talks about something weird related to IEEE floats, this absolutely needs to find a way to link to "What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic", over on https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.h..., because that's mandatory reading if you're programming.

Greek philosophers whose works are still being read today are probably not a representative sample. It's tempting to look back at a few exceptional people from past societies, compare them with typical people from ours, and find our society lacking -- but this isn't a fair comparison.
You really are free to change jobs without issue but you should work in the same or similar occupation.
Because there wasn't any new credible intelligence in there even per the U.S., which is no friend of Iran [1] and because Israel has been rehashing the same shit forever now.

> Is that evidence fabricated, and if so how do we know that?

It is generally up to the party offering evidence to prove its authenticity, not the other way around.

I talked with an internal dev group that used all Visual Studio dev stack. They thought that everyone on the 25k org should code their way. It was weird, I thought they were joking, but they were serious. They said with a straight face that no one should ever need to write in Ruby, JavaScript, or Python. When I pointed out that most major ML packages were in Python (they were into “AI” and whatnot) they said that PowerBI and Azure could do that for them.

I kind of wish I was so certain about things in life. This was also a few years before Microsoft bought GitHub and they talked about how no one needed to use Git and that Visual Studio had built in version control that supported git, but no one liked it.

I kind of wonder what they’re up to now as Microsoft is shifting over to GitHub. That was part of my worry with the acquisition is whatever cult-like mindset from Microsoft will bleed over.
> Well if Israel did it, it was almost assuredly in consultation with the Pentagon.

What makes you say that? I would think Israel intelligence often operates independently from the U.S.
Just want to let people know, it is possible to lose weight while drinking diet soda and artificially sweetened tea. I personally lost 120 lbs (and counting) while drinking lots of sweet-n-low and aspartame-sweetened soda.

Anecdata isn’t data but I’d argue a study of 30 participants barely counts as useful data either.

Maybe the artificial sweeteners mess with glucose metabolism, maybe not. Maybe these things are more variable person-to-person than expected.

If you’re trying to lose weight, and you’re having problems with diet soda, maybe make a change. But if you’re drinking diet soda and artificial sweeteners, and also finding success, don’t let random low-sample-size studies scare you off.
>What else can they do if they are really innocent?

Innocent of what exactly? At a certain point whether the leadership of Coinbase is racist or not doesn't matter. What matters is their actions. The article says "roughly three-quarters of the Black employees" left the company over a 6 month span due to feelings of being discriminated against. That isn't an accusation. It is a fact. It also isn't something that will just happen accidentally. That alone is a problem that demands urgent attention regardless of what is in the hearts of Coinbase's leadership team.
>I personally struggle with it, as i have strong emotional aversion to both submit or claim power over others

(Speculation) I believe it has more to do with the psychological effect of "knowing" beforehand that you are about to consume a high amount of sugar.

In the case of artificial sweeteners you know it's going to be sweet, yes, but you also already know that it is not real sugar and you are somehow "safe", and so, the stress involved is diminished.
Fair enough, my interpretation is that he wishes he did party in college and chose not to because he thought it was best in spite of what everyone else was doing and that he regrets not buying the house simply on the basis that everyone was telling him that he should when he felt that he shouldn't.

My response is simply that it's irrelevant what everyone else is doing and to not make decisions on that basis. Sometimes most people do things for good reasons and it's worth knowing those reasons and participating in the same actions. Sometimes most people do things for bad reasons and you should avoid doing them even though it will make you unpopular.

Don't decide to buy a house because everyone else is doing it or not doing it, buy a house because it's a sound financial decision based on your own personal life situation.

In general, focus on the reasons, not on the popularity.
They could respond to the specific points raised in the article. An “independent” investigation setup, run, and reviewed only by the alleged perpetrator isn’t exactly definitive - especially if you see the points in the article where they acknowledge the complaints are valid (note the non-denial about the only white person in the compliance group getting an offer which wasn’t extended to anyone else) and think about how a “cull through our historical data” might not yield the full story if, as described, not everyone had formal reports included in that data because they were not informed or discouraged from doing so. “Unsubstantiated” only means they couldn’t prove it, not that it didn’t happen or even that all of the possible evidence was fully disclosed.
Well they outsource a lot of development work to other cheaper EU countries, so no.

"The virus supports a unique new technique: code integration. The Mistfall engine contained in the virus is capable of decompiling Portable Executable files to its smallest elements, requiring 32MB of memory. Zmist will insert itself into the code: it moves code blocks out of the way, inserts itself, regenerates code and data references (including relocation information), and rebuilds the executable. This is something that has not been seen in any previous virus. Zmist occasionally inserts jump instructions after every single instruction of the code section, each ofwhich will point to the next instruction. Amazingly, these horribly modified applications will still run as before, just like the infected executables do, from generation to generation. In fact we have not seen a single crash during the test replications. Nobody expected this to work, not even its author Zombie.Although it is not foolproof it seems to be good enough for a virus. It takes time for an individual to find the virus in infected files, due to Zmist's extreme camouflage, making it the perfect anti-heuristics virus."

What I am seeing today as malware is a joke compared to those times. The knowledge is just lost.
Thinking about it as 'backlog', that is 'something you are supposed to consume and use later' is mistaken I think.

When you think about it as 'external brain' it becomes much more reasonable thing to do. I'm not going to remember everything I read anyway - but I can suspect some content, that I don't care about consuming now (and possibly ever) MAY be useful at some point in the future in some way, and I'd like to skip few steps of consumption (like reading the whole thing, watching whole movie) and use it anyway (have a conclusion, post a gif reaction). It's still transhumanist sci-fi, but it looks doable now.
- "Israel isn't subject to Iranian jurisdiction, so it can't be "illegal"

What kind of logic is that? By then logic is it legal for Russian mercenaries to break into your house?

It's illegal in the same way 9/11 was illegal - purposefully targetting civillians is a breach of international law, and, of laws and customs of war. It is not onyl about laws of the host country where attack happens.

The argument that he was warking on a military project could apply if there was an official declaration of war, but that isn't the case.
this seems like it’s also a struggle between different teams at the same company. Customer Service teams are very often looked down upon as “less than” other teams like engineering, and this article states that a disproportionate number of the black employees were on that team.
> The has never been a Palestinian country before 1948 when Israel was created.

> It was always part of Syria, Iraq, Egypt or something else.

Syria (1946) and Iraq (1933) were also never distinct sovereign countries until decolonialization of British and French Mandatory territories in the 20th Century, either, and neither ever included Palestine.
Hopefully also for Linux on both server and desktop side. The M1 as the first powerful ARM consumer device plus the availability of ARM servers in the cloud will hopefully lead to the ARM eco-system breaking out of its mobile stronghold.
I believe the first step when creating something new aught to be answering honestly for yourself why existing solutions won’t work for you. Your time is valuable and much better spent building something no one else has yet.

I was once heavily afflicted by NIH, but with experience I realized how much time I was wasting stubbornly trying to reinvent the wheel. That’s actually a great analogy if you think about it—-the original wheels were fashioned out of wood and are quite simple in concept, but creating modern wheels require s tons of specialized tools and knowledge to build. It doesn’t make sense to attempt this if I can just buy a premade one that suits my needs. That premade wheel also has the benefit of huge amounts of iteration in response to problems encountered over time, and I would probably need to replicate at least some of that in order to build something competitive with the existing solution.

In the realm of code, using other people’s solutions when available lets me focus on the original problem I want to solve. It also allows me to minimize the amount of code I need to actually maintain myself, since typically there’s a group of people that are collectively much more knowledgeable than me doing that for free. If I ever do have a reason to know how the library works (patches, bug fixes, behavioral questions, curiosity), I’ve found it much quicker to figure out how the code works rather than write my own.
It seems that this might be a stumbling block for the Nvidia acquisition as China makes up one fifth of Arm’s sales.

Funny thing is how common globally board conflict of interests are and how they are even implicitly encouraged.

It would be cool if someone made a map of conflict of interest of management, board members, investors etc.

I remember when Eric Schmidt was on the Apple board while Google (as the “owner” of Android) was actively competing with and “copying” the iPhone while denying turn-by-turn navigation to the Google Maps app on the iPhone.
Why does it matter? Not everything needs to have immediate real world applications. Haskell is a good test bed for type theory and some of the things that it experiments with eventually find their way into other languages.
To be clear about my assumptions, I don't trust the Iranian regime. They have been interested in nuclear weapons consistently for the last 70 years, and they've been rather explicit about their position with respect to Israel (it's a "cancerous tumor that must be uprooted and destroyed" or something to that effect). I think they pretty credibly want to wipe out Israel and emerge as the regional power.

I'm also assuming that the US, IL, and SA are pretty interested in regional stability if only because stability favors their own interests.

You have a few implicit assumptions of your own:

1. Keeping Iran in check "destabalizes the region" (and the corollary, that Iran's objective is stability in the region)

How can you believe this in light of Iran's pretty explicit intent to wipe out Israel? Are Iranian officials merely posturing benignly?

2. The US, IL, SA objective is "systematically killing tens or hundreds of thousands of lives and waging wars in the region" (and not to stabilize the region)

Of course, these countries aren't "systematically killing" anyone. You can criticize them for their actions, but they haven't been "systematically killing" anybody, nor expressed interest in the same.

3. There is a dichotomy between Iran killing tens or hundreds of thousands and the US/IL/SA killing tens or hundreds of thousands (i.e., if we prevent Iran from killing tens or hundreds of thousands then we implicitly allow its adversaries to kill tens or hundreds of thousands)

Of course, there is no such dichotomy. Thwarting Iran's nuclear program and stabilizing the region are two sides of the same coin.
And physicists ...
It couldn’t have been more precisely tuned to generate outrage, I agree. And yet I’ve seen almost exactly this situation play out before. In my case it was a storage company who didn’t appreciate the senior engineer who worked with all the SAN providers. Whoops!
Hackernews is a garbage community.
Of course. No one adopts a new technology in the PC world until Apple gives it social proof. See also: USB, WiFi (didn't hit it big until AirPort became a thing), hiDPI displays, USB-C, etc.
What made you think those decisions were best at the time? Maybe the issue isn’t that you went against the grain, but rather that what you thought was best wasn’t thought through enough?

> Netflix famously thinks of its competition as everything outside of Netflix

Is that true or just marketing? Is Netflix seriously competing against every other type of industry? How could it survive if there was nothing but Netflix? Or are they so megalomaniac that they are trying to take over the pharmaceutical industry too? And agriculture? And military? I can't believe.
To add to the point about "very general tool", it's even possible to hack Zotero so as to give Word/GoogleDoc some rudimentary dynamic content or Roam-like features. Just define a custom citation format (but mentally pretend citations as Roam-like [[links]]), and in Word/GoogleDoc invoke the Zotero add-on for insertion citation. The autocomplete search is fuzzy and fast, and Zotero inserts a field code with unique id that makes it easy to keep track of all references to the same idea/thesis/concept even under different aliases. Better still, if you alter the dynamic content inside Zotero it can automatically update the displayed value of the field code next time you invoke the add-on.
I didn't imply that Israel/US was subject to Iranian jurisdiction (not least because countries are sovereign). I wrote that it was probably legal (at least within specific boundaries) for the Israeli/US governments to approve such actions on foreign soil, which are after all one of the raison d'etre of the CIA and Mossad.
But of course the operatives in Iran did commit murder under Iranian law and they were subject to that jurisdiction.

It's always a question of perspective.

Regarding your second point, there is obviously a part of intimidation in doing something like that. It's even mentioned explicitly off the record in the article:

"But some American officials argued that the death of Mr. Fakhrizadeh, the latest in a string of such mysterious killings of Iran’s top nuclear scientists, would send a chilling message to the country’s other top scientists working on that program: If we can get him, we can get you, too."

'Terrorism' is a term always used against others, the bad guys. We are the good guys we never do that. Some people have bought this line so much that it's difficult to accept that everyone does terrorism to a varying degree, at least certainly from the perspective of those on the receiving end.
Such a filing would have no impact on your current H-1B status or your ability to extend this status. Regarding an EB1A, the standard applied is extremely high and very difficult but we as well as other attorneys file them for IT professionals. It's just going to depend on how strong your background is. I'm not familiar with Julian Shapiro.
I'm not sure what pinning it on the transition means, but it's suggesting that it seems to be an opportunistic time for controversial actions; the outgoing regime doesn't care and/or fully approves, and the New Boss avoids any association/responsibility.

Reminds me of when drones took off. Regulations took a while to catch up. At one point it was a huge nuisance with people flying little drones in every park. Fortunately now it’s died down with regulations and general knowledge of what’s acceptable, and I agree the same will happen with ebikes.
