The weird thing is that Evangelion and Lain (and other stuff like them) came out in the early 2000s, and really fit that era. Steins;Gate came out in 2011, but feels like an early 2000s anime, in both visual style, writing, mood etc. I suppose that's somewhat fitting given the content of the show though.
This is true. It takes money, knowledge, and connections to make money. It's like a virtuous cycle / differential equation (rate of increase proportional to the amount). A homeless person becoming a billionaire is highly-improbable vs. Steve Job's kids.

It is, but what people omit is that the energy is protecting the 14th largest currency in the world.

For fiat currencies military is providing protrction of that value with other things, so it's quite hard to compare the enrrgy needed by other countries to protect their currency (Marco Polo was a great Netflix series showing what happens to a currency when the military is defeated).

Even at the amateur/intermediate level, a good tool let’s one ignore certain concerns and focus on others. This is crucial for developing skill. The expert might now be able to surf on a table, but the beginner will likely never get there (or be quite delayed) if they started with a table.

This is an unpopular opinion but I think the answer to this may depend on the age of the engineer.

For example, I learned programming before stack overflow. I have most of the standard library syntax in my head and mostly look at spec documents. Once in a great while I will go on stack overflow if I can’t debug a problem but I don’t post on there .

In the same way, I suspect some engineers like using video to learn things or debug things but it’s not for me.

Doesn't matter who's "actually responsible" for hateful and toxic speech if no one - neither users or advertisers - is willing to patronize your business for hosting that speech. Would you be willing to pay to use 4chan? If you ran another business, would you advertise on there? So ask yourself: if you owned a digital platform where users/advertisers were fleeing left & right because they constantly see vile content that they don't want to see or associate with, would you be content to wash your hands of moderation and impotently say "well actually the FBI/NSA is responsible for this, not me" as your platform dies around you?

> that's probably the kind of work I'm trying to avoid.

The boring bits _are_ part of the job.

> I only have one life, and I just don't want to be paid to "stay around and do the boring bits", or at least not full-time and in an office.

The part about "in an office" is a fair goal, but if you want to avoid docs/tests/support/refactoring work, don't do this job. Writing code is just one part of it, any way you take it, and avoiding the rest is cutting corners. Even our consultants have to write tests and update docs.
> and I just don’t want to be paid to “stay around and do the boring bits”

I’m a little ADD, so my most hated work is paperwork and administrivia. Nevertheless, I recognize that it is sometimes necessary (documentation, performance evals, collecting metrics, etc.) and I just get my favorite coffee and suck it up (the work, but also the coffee).

Programmers have arguably the least boring jobs in the world (we can literally automate all the most boring bits except for certain types of paperwork/administrivia) so to hear a developer complain about doing a little bit of boring work smacks of a special brand of entitlement to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Just as an example, having to stay in the office if there's nothing else to do for the day was absolutely soul-crushing for me.

This only happens at terrible, un-enlightened companies who are more willing to waste both of your time and pay you a little less than they are to either give you meaningful work or let you go to the beach but stay on-call. Bosses should not be babysitters.
It appears that the first mention of scrapie in scientific literature is 1755, and the disease increased with inbreeding (and lessened when this practice was stopped):

The wiki also indicates that a sheep vaccine distributed in 1935 caused an epidemic, as it contained contaminated neural tissue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapie

It also seems to me that the recent mRNA vaccines could be repurposed to target a section of a prion, so the immune system could clean them from the blood. An interesting question would test mRNA vaccine effectiveness in the cerebrospinal fluid, where microglia would be required to perform this function, as macrophages (and friends) are not present there.
>ARM can't flourish under Nvidia, which vendor would prefer to buy IP from direct competitor rather than from a neutral provider.

I would imagine plenty. Take a look at the list of vendors that sell Nvidia GPUs despite the fact that Nvidia sells directly into the market.

>The ecosystem business model that defines Arm simply doesn't have any space for them being perceived as biased this way or that way.

I don't know, Intel's recent announcement that they're going to start licensing their IP directly contradicts that. I don't think Intel would waste what will likely be a fairly large amount of money spinning up a new business unit without first doing some market research and ensuring there's demand for it.
> Researchers have increasingly come to the consensus that the best passwords are at least 11 characters long, randomly generated, and made up of upper- and lower-case letters, symbols (such as a %, *, or >), and numbers. Those traits make them especially hard for most people to remember

Sounds pretty wrong to me. I think when they say "the best passwords" they mean the hardest to crack. But a password that you need to remember that's hard to remember is not a good password. It doesn't take much research to understand that passphrases are the best kind of password. 4 random words (if throttled, 5-6 if not eg for local encryption). It's a bit silly to me for this article to imply these people are spending years researching passwords, and this is what they come up with. We need to switch to client side certs already. Passwords for websites are obsolete.

I share your view of the situation, but it is fucking frustrating that "the other side" including the person you replied to probably will keep seeing it the way he described, even after you writing this explanation...
Who told you that? I know of many cases where accounts were silenced for none of these reasons. Most recently, the Project Veritas guy was banned from Twitter for his "fake account" after posting a video of a CNN technical director describing CNN's role in ousting Trump[0].

I don't think prion disease currently is a significant enough risk to make it an argument against eating meat. It's a rounding error compared to for instance increase in colon cancer

I eat meat occasionally as well. I tried going vegetarian for a six months, but I lost an unhealthy amount of weight (my BMI dropped from 19.2 to 17.8) and I think the health risk from malnutrition, as you also mention having struggled with, is much more severe than that of prion disease
If there's more profit for the lender who stays, there's an dollar cost for the industry, which should reduce industry activity as projects are started/continued or not based on dollar cost and expected dollar revenues.

This might not be the best way to increase dollar costs for the industry, but it is a way to do it.
A couple notes:

1) You needn't necessarily restrict this to tenured professors. Indeed, plenty of new tenure-track professors have both the need and startup resources to potentially hire you if you're likely to boost their group's productivity.

2) It's hard to fund people with grant money who weren't written into the grant in the first place. So while grants might be interesting as an indicator of interest, they don't necessarily ensure you'll be hirable. Which means either patience, or hoping they have a small slush fund somewhere - which is more likely for a tenured professor, but not exclusively so.
Use of "coding skills" in the question leads me to believe that your experience thus far has been more geared towards producing code than it has been solving problems and exercising critical thinking.

Perhaps that's at the root of the follow up "what else, then?" question. It's 2021 and leetcode is a red flag of lazy hiring practices without imagination, and reflects poorly on an organization.
Not OP, but, the troubling parts for me are 1) the tone of the post, and 2) the larger-than-SO issue of the gap in understanding copy+paste for the average user.

1) The post says "unfortunately" they cannot tie logged-out users to their logged-in account. In no moral way is this a reasonable perspective to me. It is extremely fortunate that SO does not build the tech to track you as a logged-in user when you are logged out. That's a bad precedent to set. Sure, some sites do that, but I think they shouldn't.

Other examples of the tone in the article abound. It's troubling for sure.

2) It is up to the web devs themselves to decide what goes in your clipboard. Many users don't know this. Sites that exploit the gap between user expectation of privacy while copy+paste as well as tracking do not match with reality. Stack Overflow is merely one of many players here, but they way they exploit this gap is mildly upsetting.

Something needs to be done, either technically or communication to users, about copy+paste reality.

Sure, that sounds more reasonable. Your initial description could easily be interpreted as “If you go over the head of your immediate manager for any reason whatsoever, you are a liability to the company and deserve to be fired immediately”, which is mostly how I read it. Certainly, an employee must be careful when engaging the company in non-orthodox paths, just as you say, but employers must also be careful in how they communicate the possible options available to an employee; if what employers say comes across like my quote above, an employee can feel trapped and easily become disgruntled in a situation when upper management would actually want to be informed of said situation.

The onus is on upper management to make sure that employees feel safe enough to actually inform upper management of something management would like to be informed about, which includes counteracting middle management, since the incentive of middle management is to try and make sure that employees never ever go over the head of middle managment for any reason at all.

I worked with Elm for 2 (or maybe 3?) years, and with Clojurescript for another 2. I recently had to decide on which of the two I would use on my next project, and it was definitely not an easy decision. Ultimately, I went with Clojurescript.

Main Clojurescript pro was re-frame[0]. Re-frame makes state handling easy and, especially importantly for performance-sensitive projects, it entirely removes the (rather common) problem of re-renders with the way its subscriptions are handled. This, plus the ability to have your entire stack in a single (amazing) language, were the tipping points to me.

While you can't achieve the same level of compile-time safety in Clojurescript, you can apply "state checks" (with Spec or any custom validation mechanism) any time your state changes. And with re-frame, it is extremely clear when your state changes, therefore you can block any invalid state from being saved and catching it as soon as it happens. Again, not the same kind of safety you have with Elm, but to me it's a good-enough trade-off.

And that's exactly what I do with my code: every time my state changes, I run a validation check on the keys that are about to change. If their value is deemed invalid, an error popup (identical to old Windows XP error popups, because why not) will appear, stating what the invalid state is and what it should be like instead, as well as which event led to this state in the first place. This check is so fast I don't even need to disable it in the production build (but instead of a popup we get a notification that an invalid state error happened).

In fact, there's this (non-mainstream) argument that runtime checks bring even more power over typing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqY4nUMfus8

TL;DR: Not an easy decision, but the truth is whichever one you pick, it will be a great choice.

The goal of most platforms is to get more adoption and more users. People who post hateful, weird, and/or borderline illegal content are mutually exclusive with the vast majority of other "normal" people. When the majority of people view something as tainting then the platform will remove it because hosting it will taint the platform and the majority of people will leave the platform, or not join it in the first place.

Remember Voat. They wanted to be "free speech Reddit" but predictably they turned into a cesspool of degenerate users, even for a time hosting the r/jailbait folks who had been kicked off Reddit a long time ago. And unsurprisingly Voat never got mainstream and now it is dead, while Reddit is still online and growing more and more all the time.

It isn't "censorship". It is optimization.
I’m guesstimating P(The Troubles | limited to just the range and belligerents as last time) ~= 0.75

One job I had was in many ways an awesome place with great people and was financially extremely solid. Technically a bit boring but that was kinda ok.

What was not ok was the second founder of the company, who was a dictionary definition of "expert beginner", who was unable to accept other views except his own, and gleefully used his power to enforce his views. I ended up working against him in many places, initially with the full support of my team and manager, but then something flipped and I was going against him alone.

That's the only job where I regurarily woke up in the middle of the night to a work-related dream and could not fall asleep for the rest of the night. I used to take pride for being flexible and not lashing out at other people just because I was having a hard time. But everyone has a breaking point, so I became inflexible and lashed out at people.

I hated who I had become. I was eventually sort of fired from that place, and have worked in several good places since, but I will never forget that... that feeling of the tribe I used to trust turning against me.
Ad hominem is in bad taste. And mind you, the same can be said of the major news outlets (NYTimes, etc).

Seems like a weird idea to me anyways, to offer to work for very little money or even nothing, as long as the work is interesting.

While I agree with the sentiment, I am not so sure how well this could be implemented in practice.

I feel it would rather be better to disconnect the more static portions of a contact (in this case the phone number) from the contact on the chat network, and use something a bit more transient. Like an email address.

And while yes, primary email addresses are even more static to our identity then phone numbers, having the option of using a single address for each chat network would disconnect this contact graph somewhat.

Going further, if each platform (iOS/Android) would have a more granular portions of the contact queryable rather than handing over the whole contact, the applications could simply just request the "chat network identity" portion of the contact (never to receive the phone number, country, home address etc etc)
The question of whether money affects coverage is among those which are incredibly difficult to find evidence for without a smoking gun. There's no direct proof in whether a given story supports or hurts a financier. I'm stretching for an example but there is circumstantial evidence the interactions between various macro ecosystems push conditions of earth's biosphere toward homeostasis, but suggesting this is deterministic is not substantiated by any known directly testable phenomena. Until we decode latent genetic algorithms, it'll remain speculation. Likewise we're left only with speculation in the absence of an explicit, "run story or we pull funding" type memo.

That said a lot of economics tends to make sense when examined through a lens of incentives. There has been an observable shift toward radicalization of news content since this article indicates FB began funding its news feature. Opinion pieces seem to often displace primary stories based on whether they suit a dominant hyperbolic narrative. Whether by FB design or simply a natural response to the soaring appeal of hyperbolic click bait favored by social news aggregation is anybody's guess.

I will say I am appalled by a lack of accountability the Times has had over the last year. For example regularly publishing summary statistics without acknowledging significant sampling problems, figures any self-respecting statistician would never consider submitting for academic review are still regularly passed off as fact. Moreover discourse regarding what constitutes effective policy, consideration of cost and benefit, or even determination of what society's goals are let alone whether they are realistic has been contemptuously derided as conspiracy and dogma of the Trumpian cult. Without rational discourse there is little hope for progress, and in that regard I arrived at my own foregone conclusions, that the hyperbolic nature of news media is one of the most significant barriers to positive change we face as a society.

On that note, if you find yourself buying into a fear of outsiders you might want to reconsider the fact most people share the same fundamental values and our differences between one another is often negligible. Believe it or not beyond the lazy opinions about issues scantly related to every day life, the average liberal and conservative have exactly the same amount of love for their friends and family. We often simply disagree regarding the means to similar ends. As a single global society we all face the same problems, but our biggest problem right now is spanning the distance we've created between coming together socially as friends and colleagues.
Sure - pick any one.

The point is that people are free to reject work they think is wrong, whether or not it is legal.

Generally this is in the context of driving too fast.

The intention is baked in.

Gramatical gender has very little to do with the words it describes. For example, in a particularly confusing twist:
féminisme (feminism) is a masculine noun, wheras
masculinité (masculinity) is feminine.

It's mostly due to the pronunciation and spelling of the word ending. Although in this case, the Académie Française decided feminine because COVID is an acronym, and the last word of that acronym is disease, and disease is a feminine word (la Maladie) because of how it is spelled.
