The so called organic food has little to do with environment preservation.
One can use pesticides in organic farming. They just have to be "natural". But I wonder if these so called natural pesticides are any less dangerous.
Also by requiring more soil to grow this isn't sustainable to feed the human population.

Organic food is for a bunch of people scared of modern technology. Some usually take alternative medicine such as homeopathy and are afraid of electromagnetic waves.

They claim buying organic is better for the environment and their health. But that's in fact the opposite

Overall I would agree that Roth dollars are preferable to traditional-IRA and traditional-401k dollars.

However until very recently it was not possible to get money into Roth funds if you made over the income limit.

It’s been a multi-decade accumulation of small changes culminating with the 2018 change that allows converting post-tax dollars from IRA or 401k dollars to Roth dollars, with no income limit.
Software engineers were not drug tested at Amazon 10 years ago, and as far as I'm aware they never were. In what part of the country are companies required to drug test programmers? I have never heard of this being legally required for programmers anywhere. Maybe if you're working on federal contracts?

> Eat local things that grows naturally like weed in your area

Eating wild plants is a forgotten art. In my neighbourhood there's an insane amount of Prunus Cerasifera but they're basically left to rot on trees, seems I'm the only one who bothers to pick them up.

But it must be pointed out that one should be careful with weed foraging, I'm part of a forum on "edible wild plants" and the amount of mis-identified ones is staggering.
It's probably a liability based decision. If someone that works with machinery gets injured or causes damage, the insurance company might have stipulated they will not cover damages (at whatever premium they agreed on) if the company is not drug testing.
This is really cool. Well done. Is there a link to the research or the data source? I imagine this is a 'standard' of some sorts.

Also will you implement the other sub-games such as short stacks and other games? It would be very valuable to explore the differences.
Indeed. It is a great leap of faith to have faith in logic.
much of which country? I live in the US and I've never been drug tested as a software engineer, nor have any of my peers or friends (unless you're getting a security clearance or something.)
At Amazon sure, but what I got from OP's statement was not at Amazon. When I was in Dallas it was pretty routine to get drug tested and I worked for a variety of companies. It was only when I got into product and engineering firms that I stopped getting drug tested.

> We were able to genetically modify plants so they generated natural pesticides as a defense against insects.

Isn't this the good old "naturalistic fallacy" though? Would you eat a poisonous mushroom because the poison is "natural"? You can at least wash some pesticides off.

I'm not a biologist but I'm sure there is a difference between crossing different varieties of peas versus introducing a non-pea (or maybe non-plant) gene into the pea DNA.
OC’s background seems to be cardiology. I recall having read the proof of gibbs in second year undergrad. Generally I think undergraduate education in engineering or physics goes into a lot more details than one may admit. I suspect this is also true for undergraduate education in other fields for a person from engineering when they go to an interdisciplinary field.

The whole "asbo" thing that they had for a long time was also in a similar vein. And the ability of even fairly low ranking police commissioners to declare some area as having "high chance of violence" temporarily, which allows them to stop and search people without warrants or anything like that - basically like stop & frisk in NYC, but without the pushback.

On the upside, following UK police twitter accounts can be sorta hilarious in a sad way, because they regularly post stuff like this:

The problem with oop is that there are some problems that come up a lot (type promotion for example) where there just is no good solution. You can write a program in Julia that defines 4 different types of numbers and adds them all together in about 30 lines of code (and which is extendable to adding more number types). That just doesn't work in any oop language. You would have to choose the number types you're supporting ahead of time, and would have to write literally exponentially more code to make it work.

In my personal experience with self-hosting, don't do it to improve the availability.

Because you can't really match a company with a high availability setup, with a 24/7 experienced on-duty team, and with a very strong incentives to have an up and running service.

You may never have any issues but it's likely that your self-hosted system will fail as well, and not necessarily at a convenient time.

Self-hosting is interesting though, so you should run your own vault server if you think you will enjoy maintaining it.
Fair enough. I don't know how you think that makes this an ambiguous point though. Like you suggested, this is a continuation of the CCP's repressive dystopia which signals its continuing appetite for oppression. But allowing the internet as envisioned by the CCP doesn't lessen oppression because it's not the internet, it's a small, curated subset of the internet augmented with surveillance & propaganda that becomes yet another tool of control. Does the Jack Ma online hate mob that spontaneously appeared when he was arrested seem like free expression to you?

Chinese citizens are allowed to communicate on the "internet" in the same way the citizens in Orwell's 1984 were allowed to watch TV on telescreens that surveilled them. Probably more useful than not having a telescreen, yet still more repressive and dystopian.
Anecdotal, but I had a job offer for a software engineering position with McKesson back in 2010 and they told me I would have to pass a drug test in order to obtain the position.

I was a marijuana user at the time, so I took a competing offer that paid less (though ended up being a much better fit for me -- still with the company now 11 years later)
I had to take a drug test, as a software engineer. Afaik many companies on the receiving end of federal contracts have to drug test employees (or at least, interpret the rules as such).
Right and we created god too! I think that atheistic people get too bent up when someone thanks god for something. You could equally say “thanks for all that exists and the way that things turned out” but it’s a mouthful!
Wonderfully put!

To be honest, I struggle to explain this to mathematicians even: many of them do not grasp the fact that axioms are basically the things you put your faith in.

I only claim that the main difference between science and religion, which are both based on faith in unprovable statements, is that science invites you to challenge those statements (easy example is the axiom of parallelism), whereas religion doesn't.

Singapore always amazes me. Incredibly well developed with high per capita income but too much of a nanny state. Maybe the people there are happy with some advantages that come with being a nanny state and don't wish to change that.
It is not explicitly a class issue, it is insurance companies looking for any reason to get out of paying a claim, and testing positive for drugs is one of those reasons.

My guess is this comes about because insurance companies will dodge claims due to a positive drug test, but an injured worker could still sue the company. So, companies don't want workers that would test positive for drugs in the event of a work related injury.

Warehouse workers are relatively likely to get injured at work. SDEs are not.

I completely agree.

If you have any unsecured debt (college, credit cards, vehicle) I would strongly suggest paying it off completely before doing any retirement savings.

If you have or plan to have kids, you need to investigate 529 college savings plans and determine the best mix for you of retirement versus 529 savings.

Getting into other uses for money such as founding your own startup (given we’re on a Y-Combinator website), I’d suggest thinking long and hard about your level of risk tolerance. If you’re happy with the risk, go for it! If you’d be happier knowing your retirement is completely secured from some years of high earning and high retirement savings, go for that.

A big key to retirement savings is really deeply understanding just how big the impact of compound interest is. Go pull up a compound interest calculator, graph a curve, something conservative say 7% growth rate over 20 years. Then do it over 40 years. The difference is amazing.
The safety issue or comparison against C/C++ was not mentioned in the submission. So I don't follow why the protest against replacements for Haskell programs, based on a safety argument.
But when you show it for 1000 well targeted people, what are you paying?

The key to all this is that it’s expensive because they are targeted. If you could show 1M less targeted people for the same money you would show it to the same people.

Sure, 999/1000 people would see an ad they weren’t interested in, but that’s inevitable with less intrusive tracking.

I also wouldn’t mind being shown a very well targeted theater ad if I had volunteered that info. But if that info is gathered without my consent I just shouldn’t see the ad, and that’s regardless of whether 90% of the free content of the web and a huge number of small businesses die in the process.
To the author, you should also consider the "Section 199A" part of the tax code in your calculations which allow you to deduct up to 20% of gross income from your taxes, thus would drop your bracket from 24% thus would make your single example be capped at 22% or your MFJ at 15%. Huge tax savings.

I think it is necessary to distinguish between generations, at least in Italy, but I’ve seen similar patterns in other countries I’ve lived.

My generation in Italy (millennials) tends to drink a lot more and with the precise purpose of getting drunk. The way they/we do it resembles much more the American way than the way our parents used to drink.

Of course, this is based on personal experience, but I’ve seen this pattern across different social classes and it seems to be mainly linked to age, more than education or economic condition.

A study on leading scientists in the US, with clearer wording and allowing for a broader concept of "god", concluded that 40% of prominent scientists believe in god.”

In the US regular employees can be fired in two weeks most commonly, though big companies traditionally give a few months severance in good economic times.

The upside of this is you can also walk away from a crappy job/boss/etc with two weeks notice. With contracting, you may be on the hook for the contract duration plus being pestered for support help forever.

It isn't just fuzzy what the court will decide with regards to damages – I think it is also (at least sometimes) going to be fuzzy with respect to what the court will decide as to the substance of the dispute.

> But the original claim was "That way they are absolutely sure that there will never be a problem." - and for that one, it's obviously not true

You can never be absolutely sure there isn't going to be a problem. But you can't be sure there is going to be one either.

> But it's not going to be "haha, that person did a little bit of fraud, let's ignore it".

There isn't necessarily any fraud involved here. The employee may have a good faith (even if mistaken) belief that they are allowed to submit the code to the open source project. The open source project may have a good faith and reasonable belief that they are legally allowed to receive it. In that scenario, neither party is committing any fraud. And if the employer later decides they don't agree with what happened, there is no guarantee the employer will necessarily always win a case against the open source project.
