It's a good day to be a Masshole. According to the spreadsheet, MA is least hesitant by state and together with VT, sweeps the first 14 counties (and the first 19, if you ignore SF).

Somebody once told me that in order to get an investment term sheet had to be signed which in essence was a loan, like in the bank.. I wonder how often is this the case.
How do you go from (paraphrasing) "this guy is wrong; responsive design is a powerful tool that can do an amazing job" to "kids these days suck because they never got enough criticism"? That's way out of left field. Who knows why the guy is wrong, or can you magically determine from that blog post that he's just an incapable schlub who was never subjected to enough shaming?
Here’s the thing. You don’t have to solve this stuff objectively. That’s a lovely long term goal but what you need right now is for the coworkers you already have to understand what a new bit of code is doing. And you can investigate that by running 1:1 usability studies. By pairing with them on using the new code.

Instead of jumping in every time they get stuck, make notes while they struggle a little bit. If they still don’t get it then intervene, acknowledge this seems to be more opaque than you hoped, bail them out, then take more notes about the interaction.

Maybe all you need is to switch to a synonym you mentioned in your explanation, or to homogenize argument order between some functions, or pluralize an argument as an affordance. Maybe you used jargon from a problem domain (eg, graph theory, linear algebra) and you need to think about whether you really expect everyone on the team to learn that jargon on top of everything else or maybe you should instead use terms from the requirements or application domain and leave the theoretical terms as comments in the code, or local variable names.

Or maybe your whole theory of organization is inside out and backward and you need a very different API that hides or telegraphs implementation details.
Are you able to provide any detail about your interview questions on combinatorics (or algorithms, for that matter)? These are common in SE interviews, but I'm interested in what combinatorics/algorithm questions you're getting specifically for DS internships.
You're getting off track here. If you ask the users what they want (and you have reliable sampling) you're going to get the same result - very few of them will be running 550px wide browser windows.
That's a bit different than "fantastic", in that it is a much worse type of misleading, unless you concern was their lab is prone to parasites?
For some reason I thought this would randomly generate a test-drive suite that you'll to pass by creatively implementing whatever makes the random tests pass.
I agree. I would love to have the iPad Pro hardware with macOS running on it. iPad OS is just far too restrictive with mulit-tasking, referring to multiple apps/windows at once and text selection/copy/paste - don't get me started. If you have the trackpad on the magic keyboard that would probably solve my issues with text selection; but the other core problems with iPad OS would still remain.
C/C++ and Rust are both hard IMHO. D is way easier, one gets productive quite fast and there are also more advanced language features once you get proficient in it, unlike Go.
I mean, just because one thing is preferable to another doesn’t mean that both are good. Hitting yourself in the head with a smaller rock is preferably to hitting yourself with a larger rock.

I’m not a doctor or a nutritionist, but it appears that processed food has a host of negative effects according to recent studies (for example https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-study-find...). Now you can pick apart these studies, but ultimately we “know” very little about nutrition for certain, which is why there are so many conflicting studies.

What concerns me about fake meat products and why I won’t consume them is that they are heavily processed. In my limited experience, eating whole foods from fresh, organic suppliers is the way to go. I’ll let someone else be the guinea pig for processed foods.
dual boot would make lot of sense to me, willing to pay for this additional feature.

Maybe sodium? It tastes unusually salty.
Sure. I raised it because it keeps using the word "static analysis", which at least wouldn't be fooled by builtins.print(). It's more than grep, for sure, but something less than static analysis tools I've used. And I don't mean that as a knock. It's working across a lot of languages, so I see the tradeoff.
This is the survey question, as part of a broader Household Pulse Survey: “Once a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 is available to you, would you…get a vaccine?” No mention of a follow up for rationale.

Good idea. I will change it, should be live in 1 hour. I am going to SHA-256 hash it, then add the bytes of the hash and mod by 10000. It's better than just taking the first two bytes, because I want a 4 digit number.
When I made ~$150k in SF, that equated to $8k/month after-tax. $2k/month for a decent studio/1-bedroom apt near Golden Gate Park. I felt very comfortable and very much enjoyed my quality of life on that salary.

Because they're not willing to make the tradeoffs that come with a $200k to $400k house. I don't even think there are houses for $400k though, even before 2020.
There's nothing to see here other than the Dunning-Kruger effect. Current responsive design practices are not perfect, but the author's conclusion (to target platforms with user agent strings) is downright regressive. There are a multitude of well documented reasons that we moved away from this, and it's offensive that the author didn't bother to educate themselves properly before penning this.

One thing that would help responsive design are breakpoints on elements, rather than the page itself. If my article preview component knows its own width, it can "break" accordingly into a better layout. While this is currently possible with JS, CSS support would greatly improve things (and enable the concept for non-js browsing experiences).
This is a great business model. If they can culture a reasonable enough imitation of salmon then they can certainly do so for other fish that are even more expensive to farm and grow. They only have to come in just under the price of farm grown fish for this to take off like wildfire (which should be easy). This company could be immensely profitable very quickly.
...For those making 1M / yr or more.

Heck, even if it were for everyone, I've yet to see a solid reason why earning a dollar from investing money is somehow better for society than earning a dollar for investing your labor. Income is income. Plenty of other countries tax it the same and we should too.

Edit: To those that say it's to incentivize investment and reward risk; I thought that was the market's job? Why is the government in the business of rewarding an investor for risk? The asset price should reflect the inherent risk in order to incentivize investment right?

"State of residence" was a predictor in their linear model. A person's state (and its government) will probably affect the outcome variable to some extend, so it's not really surprising that it might be retained as a significant term. However, I find it hard to believe it's so important. I wonder if that predictor is simply confounded with some unobserved variable relating to methods of surveying that differed by state.
Not automatically, but macros aren't everything, a lot of additives they add to make up for nature's magic tricks are concerning (I don't know about beyond meat specifically, but for most processed food it is the case)

If all that mattered in nutrition were prots, fats, carbs and sodium it would be muuuuuuch easier but sadly it's infinitely more complex than that.
> Justice, by which I mean reciprocity, is an end in itself.

You misspelled "revenge" there.
Well, if this fully launches, I'd expect them to become completely disjoint sets.

But don't for a second believe that the "Satan is coming for us any moment now" crowd doesn't have an awful lot of money and power. I'm not describing a tiny pocket of people who eschew physical possessions, but a rather large portion of the US.
I guess you're more optimistic than I am about DC senators becoming an actual thing.

I'm glad this is being shared widely, because I agree with it.

That said, I have to snark a little about it, because I was in high school, in the 90s, when I came to the same realization about why the death penalty is wrong. So this seems pretty obvious to me.

Our justice system is not reliable enough to have the death penalty.

Sounds like the news of this spooked a lot of investors to cause a surprise sell off. Most notable drops in Deliveroo, Coinbase and GameStop stock.

At the time when everyone was scrambling to buy into the Coinbase direct listing, I was downvoted to warn them that the early investors will dump it immediately. [0] [1]

In fact, I shorted it on direct listing day and here we are the news are now reporting it trading down last week [2] the hype squad are no where to be seen leaving the retail investor bag holding at >$375. And now the news of US tax increases dealt another blow to the markets and boosted my short position in Coinbase.

Well done me, I guess.

Everyone should take the vaccine, but:

> Also are you surprised that Black people in the South don't want this experimental vaccine after the Tuskegee Experiment?

Is a super important and valid point. Historically Black people have had their human rights violated in similar situations. Johnson and Johnson also knowingly targeted Black people with baby powder marketing after they knew it caused cancer. As much as I think it's important to get vaccinated, I wouldn't take the JJ vaccine on principal and personal fear that it's potentially not safe, just based on the company making it (rational or not).
In an alternative universe, the US AG has filed a lawsuit against Amazon and the House has prepared a law to ban collection and use of biometrics by non-gov entities.
As someone who lives in Cincinnati, my perception is that the restrictions (reflecting to some extent public opinion) have been mostly middle-of-the-pack in both OH and KY. OH's governor is a moderate Republican who may lose his primary over having restrictions at all, and KY's governor is a Democrat who narrowly won the office in 2019 in a state that's generally pretty conservative. The blurred borders make total sense to me in that context, because not much changes across them.
That's a thunderbolt dock, which has higher bandwidth than usb 3 and it's variants (usb4 mostly merges with thunderbolt 4 but not entirely)
Travel advisories may not be sufficient. At some point we may need the federal government to round up individuals who refused to get vaccines and put them in remedial education camps. These camps could be taxpayer neutral through a mandatory daily forced labor quota for each resident. Due to the potential for virulent "super spreaders" among the populations, residents must be kept in solitary confinement for their own safety. The overarching goal here would be rehabilitation, and we could give it a catchy name like "Ministry of Truth."
Had exactly the same reaction when I saw M1 in an ipad. What a missed opportunity to convert new people to MacOS with an incredible device. I would have skipped a surface for this. Dual booting would be nirvana but won’t happen as it would cannibalize their market. This looks like Porsche releasing a new car with an awesome engine, good looks, tons of drooling specs but you can’t drive it faster than 70mph. Shame but We’re probably not the intended target. Imagine how many surface sales this would have nuked though.
yeah but all the good ones are automatically reregistered way faster than you could click the Buy button.

They got vaccinated so quickly because such a large fraction of them needed to do so as a condition of employment. Healthcare is a massive industry in MA.
I still have a couple of the cheat sheets my study group compiled -- they're so fun to look back on. One for Computer Organization is almost unintelligible to me now; we were so proud of the density of that sucker.
In this case, it was actually a Governor who didn't know math more so than corruption. At least for the original terms in 2017.
The rover itself also has high resolution cameras, so it should be able to detect things hazardous/interesting. The drone might be useful to know if it is worth climbing over a dune or whatever, but I still think MRO data would be useful for mission control to plot routes. So maybe the drone+rover would be much more capable as an autonomous pair requiring less input from mission control?
I feel like this should be a browser option more than a design consideration.

Man I’m so sorry you’ve had such a bad experience. I don’t think this has to be the case in consulting, a supportive team and a policy to only work with clients that treat you respectfully could go a long way in situations like this.

Whoa - going straight to personal attack like that is not allowed here, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

Look at it this way: comments like what you posted here take the community further into hell war, which destroys the community. Even if you don't feel you owe the other commenter better, you definitely owe the community better if you're participating in it. The ecosystem is fragile—we all need to protect it. Setting it on fire because of how wrong you feel someone is is not a good idea.

Perhaps, but this tool has a syntax and common interface for multiple languages. This is a huge resource for IT/security. I could imagine this being a helpful refactoring tool as well for CLI.
That says more about your circle of acquaintances than about guys in general. I've been around a fair number of non monogamish folks and plenty of guys are comfortable with their partners having other men and some explicitly encourage it or even find partners for them. r/Swingers and r/Cuckold and r/hotwife are huge communities.
I have the same experience with the dell usb c dock I use at work. Two 1080p external monitors, ethernet, usb hub, and I've never had a single issue with it.
This is a good move. It'll raise tax revenues, hopefully reduce inequality, and potentially bring equities' valuations down to something more reasonable (and I say this as someone with a healthy stock portfolio).

How will it address people financing their spending with pledged asset line loans against their portfolios? Interest on that is tax deductible if the loan is used for an investment; which doesn't seem like a high barrier.
Until recently anti-vacccine was more a left wing thing. (it always has cut across the political spectrum)
One of the Adventure time animators (and maybe creators?) is also behind Hilda, a book series and now a fantastic Netflix cartoon adapted from them. It’s a made for children 8 and up, and genuinely enjoyable as an adult too. The world is beautiful, the soundtrack is great, and the adventures are lots of fun.
100%. We had similar software when I was a TA, and I just ignored it and left it to the professor to deal with. I found a few cases of obvious plagiarism though, for the exact same reason you mention, too - the same mistakes.
The contrast of the Dakotas to Minnesota indicates to me the impact of state leadership / communication.
It's a bad move usually. You're now variable cost, not fixed cost or investment (your hours cannot be capitalized).

So the company is heavily pressured to push your hourly rate down and your billable hours up.
I can speak to this - a long time coming.

A HUGE amount of complexity in tax code, tax preparation, and tax audit is the characterization of earnings.

Pop quiz, if you are going to be bringing in $100M, do you want to pay 40% tax or 15% tax? Long term capital gains = 15%. So a lot of hoop jumping to turn things into capital gains, then long term capital gains. What a pain.

Just for simplicyt I wish they would say, for everyone making more than $150K/year (300K married) investment income is taxed as any other type of income.

Cut overall rates if needed if you want it revenue neutral.

The next step is to tax unrealized gains. I know, lots of hand wringing, but if you can defer gains until death (not too hard) you can come out golden in terms of family wealth (lots of like kind property exchanges etc).

That seems very unlikely. Housing is expensive in most of the major metropolitan areas in the US, but you more than make up for it with higher salaries.

The rest of your argument makes perfectly good sense, there's lots to love about living and working in Europe! It may well be worth it to you.

But it's disingenuous to mix those quality of life arguments with an argument about money. Tech workers in the US tech hubs live a financially/materially more comfortable life than those in Europe.
The argument I have heard is corporate profits are already taxed. The capital gains tax + corporate profit tax roughly equals normal income tax.

Personally, I'd prefer higher capital gains tax and lower corporate tax. I think it would be more transparent and easier to collect.

>Say you’re running an e-ink display that refreshes 60 times per second, is it still significantly more energy efficient than an LCD?

No.

E-ink displays are more efficient because if they refresh e.g. 1 time a minute instead of 60 times a second, then they are refreshing 3600x less often. Even if they took 100x more power per refresh, they'd still end up using 36x less power overall. It gets even nuttier when you go to e.g. refreshing once a day instead of 60Hz (60 * 3600 * 24 = 5 184 000 refreshes, over FIVE MILLION).

Please note that "e-ink" is basically a blanket term and contains a dozen different technologies (although almost all the screens that are actually sold at actual stores are electrophoretic displays), it's basically a genericized term based on E-Ink Corp so anything I say here is a sweeping summary.
The Disney World fingerprint thing (assuming they reinstate they reinstate it) is also a bit different in that they only store a given fingerprint scan for the lifetime of that specific ticket, then discard it.
I'm generalizing here, but what I've described is a very common belief among evangelicals. The first source I found on Google[0] puts that at a very large percentage of the population in the US midwest and south.

There have been some political leaders in the past who have said the same about the disabled.

If we give our government the power to premeditatedly kill people merely to reduce the costs to taxpayers, we are stepping down a very dark path.
Something about this smells a little off.

What's going on?
True. Although a dollar from investing money is potentially worth less, risk-adjusted, than a dollar from working a job. So it makes sense that the proposed tax brackets are at higher incomes than earned income. But definitely the top rate should be increased; why the heck should a middle-class retiree pay the same rate on their cap gains as someone with way higher income?
Java is certainly more verbose, but I feel that nothing is free and being more concise comes with some costs. For some applications the trade off is certainly worth it! I use python and Django for personal projects to move quickly. But if I need to build something that will be rock solid I need to move more slowly and carefully, and Java works well for that.
