I would agree with this too. If contractors are able to attract the talent after government money is filtered through however many layers of bureaucracy, why wouldn't the government be able to attract that talent by paying directly?

As an american software engineer I've dreamed of working for the government, but unfortunately the opportunities with contractors far outnumber (not to speak of how the compensation and benefits compare) direct government employment, let alone private industry overall. I would gladly take a 5-figure pay cut for the chance to do the equivalent of my current work but for the government.

There is plenty of scientific research on the topic. "Testosterone == violence" is plain wrong. In some papers, partial correlation was indicated.

The belief that testosterone is some sort of "manly warrior hormone" is an example of cultural bias that has been researched as well (see google scholar) and fits very well the description of "toxic masculinity".
I'd rather stick to the license text (than rely on mental gymnastics to justify any interpretation based on a FAQ) to be upheld in the Court of Law.

Btw, note how MPLv2 FAQ page clearly points out that the FAQ doesn't give anyone a license to freely interpret the license itself:

> ...while this FAQ is intended to be accurate and helpful, it is not the license, and may not cover important issues that affect you and your specific situation. As a result, reading the FAQ should not serve as a substitute for reading the license itself, or for seeking legal advice from a lawyer.

> The benefits are just very overplayed compared to their permanence, which is downplayed.

The testosterone hype is out of control.

The scariest part is that many people are skipping straight to TRT instead of trying to identify underlying causes of low testosterone. For most people, simple lifestyle and diet changes can make a dramatic difference.

Many people also overestimate the benefits of increased testosterone. This is doubly challenging because sudden testosterone increases can feel quite good for a short while, but the effects will subside as your body acclimates to the higher levels. When the initial effects wear off, many patients start asking for higher doses or looking to steroid cycles to augment the testosterone.

It's also important to note that testosterone isn't an isolated hormone system within your body. TRT will alter a number of related hormones with various effects that aren't well-studied. Exogenous testosterone can't match your body's natural cycles, either. A person might actually feel better with a natural testosterone level of 400-500 (actually totally normal and quite common) than a TRT-driven level of 600-700 due to these effects.

Hey soyboy!
Exactly, I could see it being used as a good UI/UX example for someone pitching sites to someone.
Meanwhile, in a very real sense the following equation holds:

electron + positron = 2x photon

So it's somewhat (very?) false to say that they're fundamentally distinct, when both leptons and photons are fundamental components of electromagnetic phenomena, and are even interconvertible!

If you squint hard enough, it looks like leptons behave like sufficiently energetic photons self-interacting to the point that they form a localised circulation. This requires a charge separation to be stable, hence the requirement for a pair of oppositely charged leptons to be formed from a photon.
> twitter can ban whomever they like, for whatever reason, except for the usual exceptions (religion, race etc).

I think we either need to get rid of those exceptions or add more. I'm not sure which.
In the following order of nuance, the 99% of Bitcoiners:

Don’t know about this

Don’t like the idea of any other distributed ledger attracting capital away from Bitcoin purchases

Don’t know the Ethereum platform is different than any other “altcoin”

Don’t like Ethereum based on valid or fictional criticism

Don’t like WBTC

Don’t like renBTC in its current state

I am against jail for anyone that is not a danger to others, That danger can be Physical or danger to their property.

"White Collar" crimes absolutely could entail jail time if the offender has proven themselves to be untrustworthy and would continue to commit said crimes if allowed to be free

Jail should be used to protect the population from offenders, far too often however it is used for many other purposes including to punish people for "victimless" crimes or for being poor (like the inability to pay parking ticket)

Right now contracts are enforced by lawyers who can interpret code that is not fully specified.

I would guess that hiring a contract developer to create a water-tight contract the computer is capable of understanding would be much more expensive than a lawyer.

This is in a similar vein to the fact that it's more expensive to have programmers create a perfect NLP app to translate something than it is to just hire a translator. Translating english into other languages is not a solved problem. Whether that other language is french or a smart contract does'nt seem that material.

It does seem like it will be much cheaper to make contracts in bitcoin that don't require translating thousand-line-english-documents into a smart contract.

However, you can already do that without a lawyer. If me and you sign a paper saying it's a contract that "I will pay you $200 for an item delivered on date X/Y, and if you're late I pay $20 less per day it's late", that's already legal and enforceable without a lawyer.

Coding that same thing in bitcoin would be harder than writing it on a paper still I think.
A big part of what we've been doing focuses on word embedding models and classifying individual parts of the document. The word embeddings help us look for synonyms general ideas around what the recruiter is looking for, versus what we are finding. We also score individual sections to see if the sections themselves cover all the bases or if it's the resume as a whole.

We've also explored building our own universe of words/terms to help with this, but that's a 2.0 sort of dream, at this point!

I have an Android phone and use multiple fitness apps/services. Google Fit would be the natural place for me to aggregate all that, so I'm sold on the utility of that. Sadly I think it's at risk of being Google abandonware. I don't recall them ever having added functionality, but I recall at least one time functionality disappeared (they removed the website where you could view your data). The app seemed to keep getting simplified over time.
Smart contracts are mathematical contracts not legal contracts. They don't even have to be about IRL things. You could interact with a smart contract to, for example, change who can be authenticated to use a smart lock. Or you could have profile information about yourself in a contract, that can be changed.

It may provide simple price competition, but I don't think price competition is a main reason for the anti-monopoly sentiment you are referring to. This is more about centralisation/decentralisation, data aggregation.

> Do data engineers have good analysis skills?

Yes.

> Do business analysts have good engineering skills?

Depends on the analyst.

> I don't think either of them can fill the data scientist role.

> The scientific training and mindset (scientific method, hypothesis, experiment setup, etc.) to even create an accurate model is an undervalued skill here no? Even if data cleaning is automated, these skills cannot be easily learned.

It's not about replacing data scientists with data engineers, it's about both roles working together to make everything more efficient.

The hiring rate for data scientists has plateaued. The industry doesn't need any more of them. Why? Because data scientists often can't solve problems fast enough. It's a commonly quoted statistic that 70% of any data science task is data cleansing and/or etl. A data engineer's job is to take that 70% and turn it into 10%. The data engineer saves the data scientist time, meaning they can focus on what they're supposed to do -- build models.

No, it does not. It becomes insignificant in just a few decades (getting 32x smaller every 20 years). So a constant backlog of high fee paying transaction is important to long term security [1].

That’s a good point about the 1st/3rd part split, I hadn’t really considered that.

I know that it’s not that you can’t buy a castle in 5e, and a big part of the game is grokking that the rules aren’t a list of what you can do, but how. But finding that section of the book as a kid was a real imagination kickstarter. Having it in there was just fun, even if the actual rule was clumsy and would’ve been better as a fleshed out supplement.

I really am a fan of 5e, and have been having a lot of fun running it. I wouldn’t go back to 3e (or AD&D for that matter, which was a little bit before my time), but the kitchen sink approach in 3e had a kind of charm that I could see people missing in the new, more coherent material.
Hi John, on the page it says "We do note that when it comes to placement policies, it is important to keep in mind possible randomness in the physical distance between instances and the correlated effects on network latency."

The US should have done this. We could have done it. We don’t know the total economic damage yet, but I would wager it is already many times what it would have cost to do what New Zealand did.

The problem is a huge chunk of the country flies into a rage at the thought of their tax dollars going to people who “don’t work.”

Combine this with decades of Republican rhetoric about “welfare queens,” [1] separating the undeserving poor (read: black and Hispanic people) from the deserving poor... it convinces white voters to hurt themselves just so those people don’t get something that they don’t deserve.

Racism warps American politics again and again and again. I used to live in Atlanta, a city with some of the worst traffic in the country. It lacks adequate public transit because white homeowners didn’t want black people coming to their suburbs [2]. So now everyone suffers.

Our political system is diseased.

Fundamentally blockchains are about consensus, they have a mechanism to obtain consensus programatically but this programatic consensus can always be overriden if the participants decided to run a different version of the software. To be noted that the guys "in power" are the miners, the developers can only put forward a new version of the rules but the miners decide what they want to run.

I'm not the right person to ask, as I don't believe that there's a way to somehow make software bug-free enough to deal with huge amounts of money for an indefinite amount of time. However, it seems that enough people think that "do the right thing automatically unless someone steals millions, in which case revert it" is a good compromise.
>Tanking your estrogen levels, or having them too high, suuuuuuucks.

And to flip it around, the question isn't whether Elastic envisioned use case X. The whole meaning behind FOSS is that you're explicitly saying "I don't care what your use case is, you're free to use it".

So to later turn around and say "hey we never envisioned Amazon et all turning around and selling Elasticsearch as a service" is looking at it backwards. When you release something under Apache 2 (or a similar non-restrictive license) you're intentionally telling people to do what they want with it.

Anyway, my thoughts on these kinds of situations is that it usually implies there's some disconnect between how Elastic Co wants to make money versus how they actually are making money.

---

There's a related issue of open source maintainers/devs feeling "exploited". Now while having users submitting issues with unfortunate tone/wording that implies that you're obligated as the maintainer to spend your time fixing their issues is frustrating, it's also part of the game. I'm getting really frustrated with the whole "it's not fair that company X is using my free software without contributing back". That's literally what you agreed to have happen when you released under a non-restrictive license!

If you want a restrictive license, that's fine, but don't release under Apache 2 or BSD and then turn around and act shocked when people use your free software for free. It is unreasonable to put something out there for free and then suddenly expect money for it. That doesn't mean that companies shouldn't be contributing back to software they rely on - that's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned - but it does mean that nobody should be surprised when someone does choose to "consume" software without contributing back.
Agreed - it works well in cocktails.
This is an interesting aside:

> GPU rendering: This should be a big one, PBRT-v4 obviously does this as some of the mentioned renderers above. It should be very well possible to follow them and use Optix to render on a graphics card but I would much prefer a solution not involving closed source. Which would mean that you have to implement your own Optix. :\ But looking at how CPUs and GPUs are evolving it might be possible in a distant future to use the same (Swift) code on both of them; you can have instances with 448 CPUs in the cloud and the latest GPUs have a few thousand micro-cpus, they look more and more the same.

I'd be really excited for this future. One of the main reasons I haven't delved into GPU programming for fun is that I don't really like the available language(s). It seems petty, but the language I'm using makes a huge difference in the fun-factor for me.
