> Also: you dont have 9 hours of productive work in you a day. Nobody does. You have 4 good hours and then a bunch of wasted time where you are performing being busy because you want everyone to know how smart you are.

This is true though it may confuse some who currently do but don’t realize it’s not sustainable and leads to burnout. I used to have 8-9 productive hours a day until I realized the cost. I also have a family now and putting those hours would spend me completely and I’d have nothing left for them. Why in the world would I do that? Even if it was for a lot more money I’d probably do it only for a short period of time with a long break in mind for recouping and tending to what I’d have neglected.

If you’re young and trying to prove yourself and are thirsty to learn and all that sure it works but don’t think this is in any way sustainable.
Webservers... in space!
Genuinely curious where you got that idea, my health is absolutely none of your business.
Being aware that it's happening as an enthusiast and being aware as an Average Joe are very different. We're not having this conversation much in society right now. Defending against fifth generational warfare explicitly requires an informed population, not just a large military.

Bravo. Also consider for example Sol LeWitts Wall Drawings, which can be sold as a set of drawing instructions, and need not exist in physical form:

In that sense, this is ownership over something intangible very much like NFTs.
Our team probably has a 3-5 year backlog of things that could be done, but largely it does not make sense to do them. I only tackle a little bit of it with my idle time each week.

Reason being, work that gets done requires code-reviews and often communication and understanding within the organization. I personally might have the bandwidth but collectively as a team and an organization, we do not.

And I prefer if my whole team has a little bit of breathing room like this. It means we're rested and prepared to tackle the hard problems and fires that come our way. Nobody burns out. Realistically I don't want anyone putting in more than 32-33ish hours most weeks.
> Roger Ebert, to his credit, described Ariel as a “a fully realized female character who thinks and acts independently.”

What about Scarlett O'Hara, the heroine who broke every last social rule of her time? She married for revenge, married for money, married for fun, refused to wear mourning clothes, ran her own lumber business, cheated on her husband, wore makeup, took advantage of her sex appeal, etc., all for selfish reasons.

> It seems like software industry needs a bonus system for people who are eager to lean into their work, but struggle to see the reason to when it’s just another company that will do nothing about it.

This is essentially how the bonus system works at the big software companies. People with the same title might make roughly the same salary, but have very different stock compensation, which gets updated every year based on performance and can be much larger than the base salary. It's why you see such a wide range of numbers on sites like levels.fyi (for example $300K to $900K for a staff engineer at Google).

>If you dig a little deeper you might find your brain does make that kind of connection subconsciously.

I'm sure the brain makes all kinds of connections subconsciously. The specific claim though is that your brain makes racist connections (where 'racist' is broadly defined by certain kinds of social 'scientists', where the academic field of 'social science' in general is sloppy and non-rigorous), with the corollary being that you then perform racist actions. Those propositions are wholly unproven and on the surface strike me as pseudo-science.

I have also yet to see any evidence that that cultural connotations behind the colors 'white' and 'black' (like 'white is pure' and 'black is evil') actually even maps to people or racist behaviour. Do people see 'dark eyes' or 'black hair' as evil? First I hear of that. And I'm not even sure if the white/black connotations are cultural at all. I suspect that they come from something deeper, namely, nighttime was/is dangerous for our species. As I child, I was afraid of the dark and I can guarantee it had nothing to do with race or anything from culture. Where did I learn that?

Getting into FAANG is hard age, and IQ aren't related.
I know many engineers tried several times (more than 5 times) to get there.

understanding why that is happening is the most efficient way to help yourself to get your dream job.
here are some points that you have to consider:

Are you developing in your current job? if not you should quit and work on something that gonna add to you.

Is your current job/experience wild in too many things?
Try to deep dive into one area.

Are you in good mental health? be prepared mentally it is tough to handle FAANG interviews and failures.

Are you well prepared for the FAANG interview process? practicing every single stage and showing confidence is important.

Lastly, I found the (5 easy, 3 medium, 2 hard ) approach for each leetcode topic is really helpful.

I've been around here for a while and I've been lurking for a while. If you are alluding I am somehow trolling or something else, I am not. I

If you actually have any solid rationale against my position other than the lies of these things never happening (even though on proton db there are reports of it happening in games).

Most of the arguments have anecdotes about how it works fine for them and then claim I am making anecdotes myself even though I have a very large steam and gog library and have tried a good sample of games on at least two machines now and a few distros. It isn't anecdotes when you have made a lot of effort to investigate the viability.

I really want to stop using Windows but unless the gaming situation improves I can't and people pretending these issues such as the ones I have mentioned don't exist they won't get solved.

Anyway it will be back to lurking again because this place is a total hive mind.
So we have all of these implicit URIs:

robots.txt
humans.txt
.well-known/security.txt
favicon.ico
ads.txt
app-ads.txt

Am I missing any?

Part of me thinks that the root index.html should have link or meta tags for any and all of these. HTTP headers would also work. I get that robots.txt and favicon.ico are historical and humans.txt is cutesy, but this is getting kind of polluted. Perhaps I'm missing some obvious reason for why we're still doing the .txt thing?
Because if your labor is being measured in windows of time, you are either putting yourself out of work or admitting that they don't need you for 40 hours.

You need to shift the conversation away from hours worked to value of your work.

If you are an hourly employee, you are being paid to be a cog, not to be a brain.
No, as @madeofpalk mentioned in response to my comment, it is using the standard date input. What you actually see depends on the locale of the browser (I see mm/dd/yyy in Chrome set to US English, and dd/mm/yyyy on FF set to French)
I think America's concerns are 4 fold:

* There is political and economic benefits to projecting American power in Asia and the Pacific and protecting American hegemony.

* China has had recent border clashes with many of its neighbors, including India, and the Philippines.

* China continues to build its man-made islands despite it being deemed illegal, an violating its neighbor's sovereignty and international law.

* Not to mention the numerous human rights violations China commits against its minority citizens and the people of Tibet.

Now, imagine an unchallenged China, potentially subjugating its neighbors by force, including India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

Other regional powers, such as Australia, have taken notice of Chinese ambitions and are taking steps to protect themselves. Arguable, a threatening China is an opportunity for America to strength ties and increase its power in the region.

It's less about communication, and more about not hating my job. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion I'd rather work in a bakery or something than WFH as a programmer, because I'd at least be around people.
Which rights? Legal rights that the artist wants to sell alongside the token can be legally enforced. Beyond that, the ownership of the token is enforced by the blockchain, and that ownership token is the thing people value.
It would be great to move robots.txt to .well-known instead.

Random speculations? Certain philosophies at least survived the test of time (we are talking about millennia) while we still have to see a scientific theory survive a handful of centuries...

Of course I'm pushing back with my statement, but really claiming philosophy is "random speculations" sounds really uninformed and naive.
Mistakes happen. Escalating a misfire at the border into a levelled capital city block pretty much guarantees the aggressor won’t survive long.
> Because the data globally points the other direction.

Once you include multiple countries, isn't your data skewed by "countries at war import a lot of guns"?

> or spun to include things other than gun violence in "crimes", perhaps?

That's not spin. You want to minimize total deaths, not "gun violence". If banning guns meant instead of getting shot, the same number of people got stabbed instead, the ban would be pointless.
I also tackled the problem of moving-window brightness calibration in a related (but more constrained) problem --- tracking water fleas moving in a tank of water where an overhead light might periodically turn on and wash out the picture.

I essentially subtracted the current frame from the max across a moving window.

Also an option: do not shoot at all. If they are unarmed they pose no threat to you, and cannot therefore be a diversion.

It also remains the only moral option, but of course this assumes you consider other people to be humans - given that members of the Stern gang became impotent members of the Israeli government, I am basically convinced that the Isreali government does not, though some individuals do.
"The lender can make off like a bandit with your Bitcoin, so you need to be careful."

Uh oh. See the section in the article on "re-hypothication", where the same collateral is behind multiple loans. One problem with these things is that a small but widespread down period can turn into a collapse. Like the mortgage collapse in 2008.

Anything that's paying 7% a year on borrowed funds is worrisome. No institutional investor will pay 7% a year for money.
Musk's stated goal for Space X is to colonize Mars. His stated goal for Starlink is to fund said colonization. I 'm not so sure that he would enable any competition that he saw as having the potential to pose a real threat to his ultimate goal.
Maybe not nefarious, just inept.

You don't get censored on Chinese social media for discussing Xi Jinping's conduct in good, or bad light, it get censored for just discussing it.

Just a small anecdote: I created a company account, then set the birthday to ~1 year ago, when the company was registered. Everything was fine for 5 minutes, then my account has been blocked with a notification telling me that I need to be at least 13 years old to use Twitter. I can still login but cannot access the settings to change the birthday (or just remove it) as a screen “fix your age or prove your identity” is blocking me from doing anything. I used their support form to send a proof of ID a few times but the account gets blocked again every time.

Somehow twitter believes that 1 years old are trying to join their platform. That was more than 6 months ago, and still no solution ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
that's actually consistent with a hacker attitude

In general it seems like moderating platforms with millions/billions of users is a fool's errand, but is required to be attempted due to the level of centralization we've ended up with.

Regardless of how much of it is automated away via blackbox ML algorithms lacking transparency or via outsourcing to cheap labor that spends their days looking at terribly offensive and shocking content, the end result is going to have countless false positives, a difficult (if even possible) path for users to appeal, and a largely discontent userbase that constantly feels wronged from multiple angles.

Having millions of people with thousands of cultures, hundreds of languages, and countless niche styles of communication all be moderated by the same group of people (or the same algorithms) just isn't a good idea, and I hope that in the long-term we can find ways for communities to self-moderate in more decentralized manners to help improve this.
Just based on their reusable rockets, government contracts and potential they can borrow unlimited capital... Musk is an added bonus (that can also likely fund it himself fully)
I have the same preference you do, but I recognize that efficiency is not the sole purpose of a conversation. Asynchronous text conversation lacks a direct interactivity that many people value, and it is often useful even when the topic isn't time-sensitive. For example, this conversation wasn't pressing, but imagine how much more smoothly it would have run if we were talking while waiting for a meeting to start. You get that interactivity from a call; you don't get it in text messages.
It's the same game and sentiment, and there are plenty of people that don't like the trend of patreon, onlyfans, github sponors to make a buck.

The NFT space is building in royalties via transfer taxes. Which means you the artist would earn a lot more from volume than from the initial sale, and this is potentially even better than the subscription SaaS model, and for people that want to support you they may be even incentivized to keep you alive to make sure the royalty goes to you instead of possibly burned.

I don't really see using stablecoins such as USDC or DAI as "extra layers of bullshit that comes from involving cryptocurrency". In the US with the latest OCC regulations, these are the same as using settlement networks like FedWire or SWIFT. Your self-limiting philosophy requires conflating all aspects of cryptocurrency as the same, and the good news is that you will find a lot of camaraderie in doing that, for now.
The problem here is you have the philosophy of animism sitting side by side with metaphysics as if there’s some meta category that encapsulates the two.

Yeah I can meta the entire universe together if I wanted to. What’s the set of all things that can be talked about? Metaphysics and the Milesian school of thought are both elements in that set. There’s no point in this categorization however compelling you find the arguments within their respective fields.
That’s not my problem? I’m not going to give away my valuable time for free because other people cannot run a company.

One thing I never really see brought into the nuclear energy equation that's fairly environmentally bad is uranium mining.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2017/ph241/longstaff1/

>Uranium mining facilities produce tailings that generally are disposed of in near surface impoundments close to the mine. These tailings pose serious environmental and health risks in the form of Randon emission, windblown dust dispersal and leaching of contaminants including heavy metals and arsenic into the water.

https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radioactive-waste-uranium-mining...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK201052/

Nuclear energy still requires fuel. The impacts and costs from mining operations and refining should be taken into account when comparing to other energy sources. They are part of it. Nuclear energy can't exist without it.

> That is why the UK is abandoning it. GDPR, as written, is a business-killing mess.

Do you have an example of a company that you consider was not doing anything wrong in your personal opinion but still got a GDPR fine?
I don't really buy that argument. Yes, taxes force some level of demand, but that doesn't ensure any particular value of a dollar. The value of a dollar could shrink to arbitrarily low values, taxes only prop up the value of the entire monetary base. The value of the dollar is a follow on effect of what amounts to basically brand recognition from the days when the dollar actually had a commodity backing.
Maybe put more thought into a more enlightening comment?

Baring a really good thesis, I think simple views at this point (positive or negative) are uncreative and uninformed.

I don't think it is as simple as "Bitcoin is worthless",
"Bitcoin will be the the global reserve asset", "Bitcoin is digital gold", or "Bitcoin is digital cash".

The simple summary of Bitcoin is not emerging quickly.

And nobody has hit a ceiling on new ideas and use cases for the new properties that cryptocurrencies have relative to other assets.

And it has already achieved acceptance as the global "standard" representing the new asset class it brought into being, both for supporters and detractors.
Li-Meng Yan didn't blow the whistle in December 2019. She's a Hong Konger who started making crazy claims months after the outbreak began. She flew to the US, claimed she was persecuted, and now works for Steve Bannon. She's made all sorts of crazy claims, including that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon.

The first pneumonia patients in Wuhan got their test results showing a suspected SARS-related coronavirus on 27 December 2019. The local authorities put out an alert on 30 December, which was instantly noticed by people around the world who track emerging infectious diseases. In other words, health professionals around the world knew about the Wuhan outbreak within 3 days of the first suspicious test results.

I don't think you realize the sheer volume of communication between people in China and the outside world. Many millions of everyday people are in regular contact across the border. There are many millions more people with VPNs who say whatever they want on Western social media. Even Chinese social media is way too active for the government to thoroughly monitor. Almost anything major that happens in China nowadays is known about outside China pretty much instantly. The idea that there's been a massive epidemic underway in China over the past year and that the government has been able to keep that information from leaking to the outside world is utterly implausible.

> They didn't even let a WHO investigation team into their country for almost a year

Which WHO investigation? The WHO visited on 20 January 2020, just three weeks after the outbreak was identified.[1] Months later, for political reasons, the Australian PM started demanding an "investigation." China didn't like the accusatory nature of the Australian demands, and it took months to negotiate a process that all sides considered reasonable. But the WHO was in Wuhan long before Australia began demanding a different sort of investigation.

I got banned in 2008 for similarly silly (and unknowable) reasons. Posted zero, and I mean zero, spicy content. Maybe they didn’t like me posting a soy latte or a photo of a dog. But I got a ban for almost a week. And then suddenly it worked again, and they refused to say why or what triggered it. Maybe Jack or Ev got drunk and started hitting buttons. Zero transparency or apology, so I can only speculate.

Tried this one out- said the super private magic word, and got a ban. Appealed it to ask them why.
