I had a sophomore level class that covered about 2/3 of that list. The only big thing I think it missed was version control, although back then it would have been CVS. It did cover group dynamics and management, which seems to be missing in the link. The school was trying to prepare students for the numerous group projects they were about to be assigned in the junior and senior year.

In retrospect they could have put more focus on debugging tools as well. But since they didn't mandate one particular system--we had projects where every kid was using their own development environment, from VS on Windows 95 to vi, gcc, and Make on FreeBSD all developing on the same codebase. It sounds like development hell, but it made porting the app to all of the target platforms a breeze.

> However, remote tech has changed work so much that if I were a betting man, I would be looking at real estate in non-extradition countries as thousands of new crypto millionaires weigh their options and just leave.

Taxes are there to support the infrastructure that powers a country. If someone opts to not pay their share of taxes and leave, they are also not using the infrastructure paid for by taxes. Effectively, if you want to drive on nice roads, have consistent access to clean water and power you can pay taxes.

As weird as it sounds, reputation matters for these guys. If you have a track record of taking the money and publishing data anyway, no one is ever gonna bother paying you in the first place. Why would they? Your data is gonna get published no matter what, may as well save the ransom money.

Its probably too early to say how Aterian (mowhawk) acquisitions will work out. In terms of structure we are early enough that we are creating deal structures for each entrepreneur that makes sense for them. Some would prefer all cash, others would like to have more upside in the future. We want to meet the entrepreneur where they are and create a deal that aligns incentives. And we are not public so its a different conversation around including Moonshot equity in any deal

I wanted to settle in Europe prior to Brexit finalizing, but I felt I was kind of done with Italy, having lived all over that country. Romanian is another Romance language, like Italian, so I figured (quite wrongly!) that it would be easy to learn. It was a right move for the wrong reasons, and I eventually found everything I was looking for here, including well-paid remote work (prior even to COVID).
Agreed. I haven’t thought about this stuff since taking gen chem in college, so I went and looked up the phase diagram for Neon, as an example.

At low pressures, it looks like as little as 15 Kelvin is enough to make Neon a gas.
By being gatekeepers on which website crawling is okay and which is not.

No such filters should exist. Is it really that awfully bad without anything but basic filters (ban an IP for flooding)? Are there like, operations that try and spam every single Cloudflare-hosted website 24/7?

Legitimately curious if your anti-bot measures come from actual bad experience with the internet or is it just a liability limitation move? (Namely to reduce potential suing surface by angry data owners and/or three-letter agencies.)

Basically, if I am experimenting with a basic crawling program and I hit websites A and B 20 times each in a space of one hour, is that really deserving of a captcha or extra auth methods?

Not flaming but I am really curious. Do you have any data and rationale posted somewhere that go into deeper detail about why Cloudflare's bot detection is how it is?

Probably LCOL, 10% income tax, great food, and stunning women.
Even more confusing is that the full quote at the beginning of that paragraph mentions capital gains tax right after:

"Unfortunately, in England, higher salaries will mean higher tax rates. Data released late in 2020 showed that Londoners contribute to nearly 30% of the country's capital gains tax"

??? Either the author mistakenly wrote capital gains instead of income, or they were just citing something completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Regarding the "confusing progressive tax rates", I agree with you. "Most systems around the world contain progressive aspects." [0] And a look at "tax rates around the world" shows most countries have higher marginal tax rates for higher incomes [1]

The old American ABM system used two nuclear interceptors, the Spartan which would catch warheads outside the atmosphere, and the Sprint, which would take off at 40g and catch them in the Atmosphere.

An advanced anti-anti-missile missile has a propellant load to maneuver outside the atmosphere and the ability to steer as it re-enters the atmosphere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agni-II#Manoeuvring_Re-Entry_V...

is a good example. It can move unpredictably to beat exoatmospheric intercept with rocket thrust and then make some turns on re-entry to complicate "last ditch" interception.

The US fielded the Pershing 2 hypersonic glide missile circa 1980s. US sources claimed that the Russians really hated it and gave up a lot in negotiations to get rid of it; at least one Russian source I've seen was sanguine about the P2 threat.

Many "third-world" countries have P2 and A2-type missiles within reach. A real ICBM enters the atmosphere at very high speeds and hypersonic maneuvering can involve 300g+ turns and other tough problems. Hypersonic glide is a simple way to add flexibility to medium range missiles -- not only do you get a little more range and the anti-ABM capacity, but it is no problem if the missile is launched from a mobile platform at an unsurveyed location since the missile can adjust trajectory in flight.

I found the wording "Unfortunately, in England, higher salaries will mean higher tax rates" to be slightly strange. To me, it's fortunate that those who earn less pay lower taxes than those of us who can afford more.
And those assholes can fuck off. But are they really that numerous? Are they driving the cultural narrative? I think no, and in the areas where this is the case, I think it's probably more of a white vs. not white thing which is a whole other bag of worms.
It's astounding that people smart enough to land a job that pays enough to push them into the higher rate band of income tax are so often confused about how their taxes are actually calculated!
Yeah, the perception of .NET-centered companies around my area has typically been that of a large, non-technology oriented enterprise which noticed they are behind around 10 years ago, and since they were using Microsoft for everything, they went for .NET (and Azure). This is to a degree also reflected in who you can hire with .NET experience.
> Real fiat currencies come with much heavier regulation if you want to get money in and out of the traditional banking system.

This is the biggest reason, really: the moment you touch USD you have to comply with know your customer laws, review OFAC sanctions lists, etc. And this doesn't just apply to US-based companies, if you are sending money through the US financial system or handling dollars, this applies.
This is true. I was also amazed to find in Romania that the salaries quoted are 'net' by default. I don't know of any other country that does this.

but seriously how we are defining it for our business is private label sellers of physical goods. So you own a brand that sells on Amazon or DTC, and your products have your brand on it. The supply chain varies from folks who own their own manufacturing to others who source from suppliers and never touch their product it just straight to amazon FBA. But not drop shippers, not software, not online marketplaces.
I don't think I ever challenged the plausible intent of the lie (to avoid shortages). That does not stop a lie being a lie, with long term, serious harm.

The masks ARE effective in prevention COVID (both ways), and there is no demonstrated risk in wearing masks wrong. They lied on both accounts providing fuel to anti-masker movement. And yes the logical inconsistency of insisting masks are ineffective yet are necessary to frontline workers were pointed out year ago - you're not breaking any fresh ground here.
Energy usage is absolutely an externality for almost exactly the reason you claimed it's not. The miners pay the electricity company but the electricity company's price doesn't take pollution into account.
Not a fan of the optional brackets. It feels like a huge, tone-deaf step back. It's also being agressively pushed for by the founder. Also, it adds "if then end if" to the mix as well. Sigh.

RIP Code samples.

Many of the other features are nice adjustments.
The 0% on capital gains is nice, but as he's now single, it's only applicable for his first $40k of taxable income. So, if he can live on $40k in cap gains, and $1 of w-2, he can get off with no taxes. If he cashes in $1M in cap gains, most of that is taxed (about half at 15% and half at 20%, and most of it will also get the 3.8% net investment income tax)

I ignored deductions, including standard deduction. The point is the 0% capital gains rate isn't a magic loophole to channel billions through, it only has a small amount of room.

I love The New Yorker. I actually read several pages of it every night to my wife to help her fall asleep. And that's not actually a joke about it being boring. (Currently reading about the evidence for UFOs, it's highly interesting.)

However, almost every article follows such a predictable format: Introductory section, full of all the interesting and tantalizing details, and stuff you actually want to find out about. Then section two: we jump back to the main subject's childhood, what clothes they were wearing when the journalist met up with them, how softly they speak. About two pages of biographical content. Section 3: we jump to the background of the story we're actually going to tell. Explain how it fits into the history of some movement or scientific question or whatever. The "point" of the article gets buried somewhere in sections 4 or 5, in between riffing on other people's dead ends and more biographical content.

Even then, I've run into issues with scraping several sites for the reverse image search engine I operate. Luckily, in most cases I have been able to get in touch with the people running those sites to get a rule added for my IPs to allow them through. That's not scalable though, and limits where I can scrape/crawl from. Even something as simple as checking a site for updates every hour or two tends to get blocked after a few times. TBH, one of the only things I have found which helps is lying in the user agent and copying CF cookies. Luckily, I haven't had to play with that for a few months due to whitelisting, so not sure it it would still help. Things change rapidly.
That's why I'm still wary. And you're not even listing all the cellphone and laptop manufacturer's that would be interested, especially with those claimed charge times.
This is why we have seen so many new altcoins popping up, it's like rewinding time so you get most of the coins instead of Satoshi getting them first.
The fiction can the plot, not the physics. And you'll find there's plenty of hard sci-fi novels out there. Some of those novels even get made to movies, like I Robot. Unfortunately it often gets heavily watered down.

The problem with movies is the cost of production is much higher than publishing a book. So movies have to appeal to a greater audience in order recoup their costs. And that usually means taking the "hard" out of "hard sci-fi".
I used to write ad targeting algorithms. There are tons of adtech companies that claim to use AI to "find the right audience" for a given client's ads. Some of them actually do it. I only had one project at that job that was complicated enough to justify using a neural network. The VAST majority of targeting really is just a SQL lookup.

After working professionally with OCaml for a few years, it's kind of a shame that the language is 25y old and hasn't become popular.

The documentation of libraries is awful, there's the Async/Lwt split, small ecosystem, the IDE support is flaky (breaks every now and then when you upgrade, doesn't work properly in VS Code).

My diagnosis (specially after talking to people in the Rust community) is that there's a weak sense of community and weak leadership. The response to conflict is "screw this, I'll do it my own way", instead of making decisions as a community. It's kind of the wild west, people going in different directions doing what they want. There's no alignment in focus or effort to really drive things forward.

We are moving away from OCaml. If you are considering it for medium or large production systems, I urge to stay away from it

> Even if you disable backups, whenever you correspond with someone that has backups enabled those messages are still accessible to Apple.

That last bit is not true. From Apple’s security PDF:

> When Messages in iCloud is enabled, iMessage, Business Chat, text (SMS), and MMS messages are removed from the user’s existing iCloud Backup and are instead stored in an end-to-end encrypted CloudKit container for Messages. The user’s iCloud Backup retains a key to that container. If the user later disables iCloud Backup, that container’s key is rolled, the new key is stored only in iCloud Keychain (inaccessible to Apple and any third parties), and new data written to the container can’t be decrypted with the old container key.

You only need regular client side encryption to protect things in the cloud. Just generate a key on the phone and keep it there. Probably the reason they don't do that is that it would make it so that a lost phone would result in the loss of cloud stored data. People store things in the cloud to prevent that sort of loss.

Email when encrypted end to end in the traditional ways is safe on the IMAP server but also has a requirement to back up a key off the device to prevent loss of old emails on loss of device.

It means I cannot fully specify the type of function my interface expects as an argument.

A function is of type ‘Function’. There is no way to define it with the type of its argument or the type of what it returns.
Also, this statement is very strange:

> Testing by peer-reviewed specialist publication Advanced Functional Materials publication concluded the cells had “outstanding high-rate performance (149 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1), surpassing all previously reported AIB cathode materials”.

Advanced Functional Materials is just a journal. They do not do third-party testing (unless something really has changed in scientific publishing in that last few years). Just because your paper was accepted for publication doesn't mean you can go around claiming your device performance has been validated by outside investigators. The peer-reviewers for journals just look at the data/figures submitted and make a judgement call on if it looks legit/plausible or if it looks fake/wrong. They don't actually get devices from the authors and test them out in their own labs to verify things...

For third party verification you need to pay outside consultants (e.g. Exponent) to test your devices or need to get a national lab like NREL to test things.
