I was adding this as a top level, but realized someone probably already mentioned it.

If:
* you're under 30
* you don't have any health problems or diagnosed mental health issues
* you don't have a criminal record (or it's trivial stuff)
* you are willing to make a drastic change in your relationship to authority

then the military might be an option. You won't like it, and they absolutely not put up with any shit about you knowing better than your superiors (hint: it's completely irrelevant if you do), but that is a way to hit reset.

You mention the CIA and they can be pretty selective, but that also suggests you're okay with patriotism. Remember the way to tell a recruiter is lying is their lips are moving. If you want a specific job get it in writing, and then assume a 50:50 chance.

If you want a job that translates to the outside world and aren't keen on getting shot at, I recommend the Air Force. The Navy isn't that bad in that regard either.
How an 87-year-old comic artist made big money through NFTs
Seconded. If you aren't willing to go through school, why would you be willing to take up a job? Most entry-level jobs will generally be even more boring, require more discipline and jumping through the kind of hoops that you will not enjoy. Unless someone sees a sort of a raw genius in you, they will probably not take a gamble on you.

What exclusive chrome feature is the mentioned business relaying on ?
"Finessing" the conversation and telling partial truth is also lying. No one ever got hired without some lying, whether they exaggerated some part or left out another.

E.g.

"Why did you leave Company X?"

"I hated it and was fired for low performance. But I'm much better now!" said no one ever.

Say "family emergency" and they'll always take you at your word and leave it at that. Just don't overdo it -- more than one of those might look a little fishy.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this. Pydantic is pretty cool but also kind of a strange bird.

It seems to have been originally conceived to do the job of forms in a web app (serialization/deserialization). But then it also has a double life as a runtime type validation framework. And I don't think it really does either one quite that well. It definitely offers a level of conciseness that is nice compared with traditional form or serializer frameworks. But then at times it seems underpowered or awkward to customize. I think that's because it doesn't seem to know exactly what it wants to be.

I've worked on projects where we used pydantic and it eventually became clear that we were either overusing or misusing it. It always seemed like the abuse of pydantic came out of developers on the team not really understanding what its purpose was. Maybe it's just my personal bias, but I think it's worth bringing a bit of skepticism to this debate and not just accepting the description of things in the issue ticket at face value. In other words, is it possible that pydantic is colliding with the steering council because it's misusing the annotations feature? I don't think I have a clear answer but it's worth asking the question anyway.
You seemed to ignore all the sources in my comment.

> “If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?” Trump tweeted.

> House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped into the White House's latest $1.8 trillion coronavirus relief offer during a combative interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, accusing President Trump of only wanting to send out a second round of stimulus checks to juice the economy and boost his election odds.

> The Trump administration's proposal -- its largest yet -- drew criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, dimming the odds of another round of emergency aid before the Nov. 3 election. It was expected to include a second round of direct payments of up to $1,200 for adults and $1,000 for children; expanded unemployment benefits at $400 per week and additional funding for state and local governments.

So clearly she didn't want any stimulus before elections. Else she would have gotten the $1200 stand alone bill done and signed instantly.

Once the elections were over:

> Trump calls for $2,000 stimulus checks as $600 payments start being deposited

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/30/trump-calls-for-2000-stimulu...

https://thepostmillennial.com/pelosi-says-600-per-household-...

> Pelosi says $600 stimulus payment after 8 months is SIGNIFICANT

> We also have in the legislation, uh, direct payments which were not in the Republican bill, to America's working families. I would have liked them to be bigger, but they are significant and they will be going out soon."

This is obviously a lie since her political opponent had tweeted several times "If I am sent a Stand Alone Bill for Stimulus Checks ($1,200), they will go out to our great people IMMEDIATELY. I am ready to sign right now. Are you listening Nancy?" and "$2,000 stimulus checks"

Is $600 more significant than $1200 or $2000? Is that "not having enough stimulus"?

And now her party holds all 3 - house, senate and presidency and yet there's no $2000 cheques. If her political opponent was willing to give $1200 and then $2000 and yet her own party hasn't gotten that done, then who's worse?

Hello,
There is so much history that are preserved in stories we tell whether from Grandparents or parents. I want to create a project that focuses on telling these stories with NFTs and getting them inscribed on the blockchain. Focusing specifically at the African continent.
Well they just announced a hackathon with a $50,000 prize for this thing https://elrond.com/blog/elrond-hackathon-moralis/

Not sure if Elrond is putting up the money or Moralis (Elrond is a promising Ethereum-type blockchain thingamabob and Moralis is a JS framework that interacts with things like that). Elrond’s Telegram channel is probably the place to go https://t.me/ElrondDevelopers
If you invested $1000 in Dogecoin on Jan 1st 2021, it's now worth $32,983
In this context, manipulation comes from a place of dishonest enthusiasm.

Salespeople, marketers, and recruiters generally don't give two shits about the product they're selling.

So yes it's manipulative because they're displaying fake enthusiasm and trying to trick you into thinking it's genuine.
$35,000... in the last two years combined!!

However, later in the article:

"Hometown reported more than $600,000 in expenses last year, up from about $154,000 in 2019. The company also reported a net cash gain of $2.2 million from financing activities, such as selling stock, in 2020."

Also interesting:

"According to the company’s latest 10-K filing, the company’s single location was closed from March 23 to September 8 of last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. During that time, the company’s stock price rose to $9.25 per share from $3.25 per share."
Congrats google, most obnoxious voiceover ever.
Same here, though replace "Command+S" with "F2"(DOS)/"Ctrl+S"(Win). Also counting to 10 before turning off the PC because of software-based disk write cache :-P
The power we are giving to HOAs is insane. They can ruin your life. There is a case that I know where a person of color was accused by his white neighbors for WFH, thus using his house for business purposes, thus violating the HOA contract, thus they initiated an eviction.

It is an ablolute mess.
I've read through PEP 563 several times now and I just don't find the motivation particularly strong. The PEP itself outline two high level goals:

1. simply forward refs in types

2. reduce the runtime costs of type defs

While I can respect both goals, I haven't found either problematic enough to break backwards compatibility, including functionality used in several mainstream libraries.

Further, I have yet to see the runtime costs quantified. So I'm not even convinced this will have a tangible benefit. This PEP rejects the alternative option to just disable typedefs with opt-in __future__ imports or command line optimization args. Yet, they rejected this because it would break existing functionality for code that relies on runtime typedefs. And the proposed solution also breaks existing functionality.

In terms of forward refs, the deferred evaluation just feels like a kludge. Every Python programmer is already familiar with how Python evaluates module code at runtime and understands how this prevents forward refs. If anything, this kludge adds a special case for typedefs.

I really feel its time for Python 3 to freeze language features. This PEP and the previous walrus operator fiasco feel like people trying to morph Python into something that it isn't with one kludge after another. This will not lead to a robust language, but instead another Perl 5 monstrosity of complexity.

Instead, I feel programmers looking for more robust, performant, and expressive languages should start exploring new languages. Let Python be the best possible Python and other language features can be explored in languages that incorporate those features in a holistic design.
That's awesome. I voted for a person for Mayor of Chicago last year who I know cared. They got ~1000 votes.
So basically PHP is still catching up to Hack and but not quite there yet?
Just imagine how much Glyphosate has been dumped on that soil. Don't know if it's true but someone once told me nothing will grow in a corn field for 5 years afterwards unless it is roundup ready.

What's keeping google earth running?

I find it surprising that it hasn't been shut off and/or merged into maps years ago
That's not helpful. Yes I read the article, and yes I get there is a "solution", that wasn't my question. I want to know if the option I suggested is viable.
With this over inflated valuation, they should sell them right away!
This is something that irks me too. If you're an authority implementing paid parking, price it appropriately so that most of the potential clients would rather chose to park and pay instead of hunting for free parking in some other parts of the city. Once you have that parking lot full most of the time, only then you may juggle around with the price in order to bring it closer to a more desirable level.
I can see your point, however if vesting is a form of compensation, it seems reasonable that this form of compensation would continue with other forms such as healthcare insurance and salary.
That's fair enough, as long as you would trust that business to not misuse your address space for other things. Same level of trust one would put in a regular email provider, I guess.
Well, no wonder they are so expensive and make Bitcoin cost-prohibitive.

Important to note that interviewer and recruiter are two different parties. The interviewer's job is to be skeptical of you; the recruiter's job is to polish you up and sell you to the interviewer. The recruiter is on your side, so it makes sense to be open with them.

(Note that this only applies to recruiting agencies. A "recruiter" at the company you're interviewing for is the exact opposite story.)
Ebay actively manages supply through communicating with sellers, so "Yes?"

Yes, I'm just pointing out that there is a lot of opportunity to make the data that is already presented here in one place a lot more useful.

The thing is: they don't have to increase that much for the investment to pay off.
No, I'm saying that they wouldn't bankrupt themselves. They would realize assets (or take income) to pay off the loan, and that's when they would get taxed. The story that rich people don't pay taxes because they just take out loans and never sell the assets doesn't make sense to me for that reason.

I read a tweet recently that seemed to summarize Kant as having done something similar for knowledge, and I immediately thought of Godel's incompleteness theorem. Obviously I don't claim to fully understand full threads of their works, but found the connection interesting (and Kant finally accessible perhaps)

Not who you asked, but for me persuasion is a manner of manipulation, trying to convince anyone of anything using anything but raw and complete information is manipulation.

Of course under that assumption, basically every human communication is manipulative, but that doesn't mean it is intrinsically "evil". It's all rather subjective I guess.

"Evil", or maybe to be a bit more specific, "sleazy", would be to use such manipulation with the intent of personal or tribal benefit, which is what fits the people groups you mentioned above.
Really? 15 years? Google earth was released in 2005?
Why? This is just a statement of your priorities that you are projecting onto someone else, and then judging them for it. Not everyone has your set of priorities. When I was in gradschool I bought a $1000 dollar fridge. That was probably ~10% of my take-home, because I believe you get what you pay for. Am I "unreasonable"? Maybe according to you, but I'm fine with my decision.

If you're going to expend effort judging someone, judge them by their deeds, not by the appliances they buy.
Yeah this guy is definitely on the spectrum.. And probably a little bit of a sociopath.
With compassion: you seem paranoid. Lots of talk about security and hackers and spies. Your submission history is telling. Have you thought about getting therapy?

I get the feeling from your writing that you are conflating social signalling and personal economic outcomes. You seem to want people to think you are smart more than you want to succeed? Or at least those ideas seem in conflict.

Do you want a job at a Big Name or do you want money?

Have you thought of starting a business? That way you don't need permission from other (besides customers) to succeed.

Probably better is, as many others have suggested, to get a job a smaller company that will have you. Then build something on the side.
"You need to learn how to interpret a topographic map, and recognize the terrain around you. That takes time & effort."

And you can still make mistakes that throw off your navigation. In the past, I participated in a sport that involved navigating through terrain for up to 24 hours (through the night) looking for targets. The compass work was never much of an issue (more a process), but making decisions based on the terrain was - is that the third gully since we left the spur or the fourth? And issues typically compound.
Obviously having access to insider information and trading based on that information is not okay, but the specific trade called out here does not sound like the sort of thing a person would do if they had information about future movement of the underlying $MSFT.

They traded deep ITM calls 4 months out for deeper ITM calls 1 month out. My guess is that this particular trade is part of a risk management strategy, not an adjustment based on insider information.
As someone who sometimes struggles with social stuff, join a club has never been useful advice for me. Its never worked out well, i'm not sure where y'all live where there are actually interesting clubs, and they're pretty awkward environments generally imo.

I've had better luck with do something with a more structured environment. E.g. take an in person class (something not work related. Learn sign language or something) but that takes $$$ and ymmv.
None of those are quotes from Pelosi where she is against stimulus.

Here is an actual quote from her which is a direct response to a Trump tweet:

“Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!”
Yeah these are good stories but $3b fine is not that big for an entiy like Goldman Sachs. Insiders make moves that make financial sense with these huge fines cause they profit a lot more, obviously.
I used to do the same on our Windows 95 box, and later 98 and 2000s. Hard habit to break to be honest. 3DS Max, Photoshop, Word, they'd all randomly crash on me for various reasons!
If I ever met you, I'd buy you a coffee. You jumped straight in to help the OP without offering any kind of upfront diagnosis based on the very little information available. The traits are patience and humility. They're valuable and not often found.
Manipulation is when you lie to me. Persuasion is when you believe what you're telling me.

No reason not to start now depending on where you are. I grow for flavour and value not calories.
>Also Tango was more AR than VR. I don't think they ever had any lead in VR.

They had inside out headsets before Oculus. Check out their partnership with Lenovo and the Mirage Solo headset. Despite working well for 6dof tracking it had the same terrible Daydream controller.

A year later Oculus released the quest with a better industrial design, camera array and 6dof controllers to much more success. The chip was a generation newer but arguably the success came from things that could have happened a year sooner.
I had the exact same experience in my C++ courses: no external libraries at all. But those are a PITA anyways, even with CMake.

And I've heard good things about Dlang but I've never used it myself, I'll have to check it out some more.
I’ll email you in a moment, but I’ll share this here for everyone to see:

- develop marketable skills

- go where the money is

- work your ass off

- sell the absolute best version of yourself

- when you have a job, focus on how to get a better job

- don’t prioritize pleasing people, rather make people realize their success depends on yours

I don’t know either, but you can apparently work around it via an iPhone app.
While I think our views are similar, I clearly have a differing take on "Mother earth is fine."

To me, it implies that planet earth is as implacable as the rest of the universe. It doesn't have feelings. It doesn't care. And it will still be here for millennia yet.

This changes the conversation from:

"We're hurting mother earth."

to

"We're thinking animals and yet we're making a poor future for ourselves."

Having some code on Github is helpful when looking for a job.

I see the problem. Most entry level programming jobs today either require a college degree, or they're for very low level web programming. Now, if you're competent at making basic web sites and the front end or back end of a business application, that's a saleable skill. Although one that several million other people already have. Also realize that about half the job is figuring out what the customer (your boss, probably) really wants.

If you hung around a research environment, and you know a little programming, did some soldering, and know which end of a capacitor is positive, but didn't go to college, that's not really a saleable skill set any more. In 1980 it sometimes was.

So what you need to do in that situation is smile and happily give your name + email, then set aside an hour a week to chat with people in that slack channel.

Parties are not really good places to learn social skills, people are generally partially drunk and behave differently than they would anywhere else.

Look at this list of hobbies [1], pick two that you think looks interesting and has a club in your local area. Then join those clubs and show up at every opportunity. If you are asked to join a special event or help out with something or join a forum/chat room then smile and say "yes, I would love to".

Try to stick with the same club for at least a year.

i see neighbors using Glyphosate all the time. don't know how its even still sold in stores.
> No but my naivety thought there would be more automation in place to reduce walking, sorting and picking up heavy things.

Having worked in a non-Amazon fulfillment center, I’m amazed at the automation they do have.

Picking and packing product once it’s in a warehouse isn’t the difficult part. Unloading and loading the shipping containers, in my experience, is far more difficult.

To maximize space in shipping containers they can be packed floor to ceiling. I think about 22kg was the maximum weight of product I was unloading. Picture beverages stacked floor to ceiling in a 50 foot trailer. The optimal lifting position will happen for a small percentage of the boxes moved. You’re on your toes trying to pull product from above your head, then you’ll be bending over to pick product off the ground.

Palletizing the product for transportation within the warehouse also puts you in disadvantaged positions.

There will be some token training on how to lift correctly, but you will quickly be falling behind on productivity.

To achieve your targets there will be times when you’ll be lifting two boxes together. Or stacking them to be more efficient.

If you’re lucky and they see you working hard, they may give you a rest day by putting you on light duty once every two weeks. If you piss off the scheduler, enjoy your heavy rotations.

It’s probably a good thing to reduce the human element assigning this kind of work.

Also don’t forget not all product (e.g., heavy exercise equipment) arrives with intact packaging. Sometimes you’ll have to move this out by hand when a box falls apart and then repackage the material.

When you’re picking product there is often powered pallet jacks to get from point a to point b, but you end up taking short cuts and jumping off before the machine has reached a complete stop.

This work is still better than doing rebar or construction. At least you get a roof overhead and stay out of the elements.

People who are young and need a job will do dumb things to stay employed.
