It is quite the opposite of that, my friend.

The conservatives are the party of letting the poor starve and die with their constant demands of eliminating social programs and fighting against universal health care.

Did that seem to have a mathematical basis... a form of counting and grouping... or did it seem to have a rhythmic basis, like you needed a 'dah dah dah dah DAH' pattern in speech?
Triplebyte was an interesting experience for me the time I tried it out. I got lots of calls and several onsites, but my lack of professional experience bit me on every single one of them.

I felt like Triplebyte worked hard to create a good experience for me, but that overall the companies I interviewed with just viewed TB as another placement company. Other than getting to skip the fairly easy phone screen phase, I didn't feel like I got much value from the experience at all, and I had to put a lot of work into it.
Question: What's the Next Stripe?

I think as they start enforcing things more employers will avoid colorado until kinks worked out.

If you have a janitor in CO, every job is an improvement and potential promotion. Having to first go to that janitor for every position is going to wear out FAST. Posting for the CTO position? Go to janitor first. Posting for CEO position - same thing - that's what is going to drive folks away.
I was specifically looking at undergrad rankings. The acceptance rate is not a good filter because that's the acceptance rate for the entire school, not the CS program.

From what I can tell, anyone who is a Harvard student can declare the CS major if they pass the pre-reqs. At Berkeley, passing the pre-reqs doesn't get you into the major -- you still have to apply for a limited number of spots, which generally means having a 3.8 GPA or better in your pre-reqs. So effectively both programs have the same acceptance rate.

I am not sure we can trust information coming from both France and China. France is trying to sell these EPR reactors to several countries and so far the one they are building in France jumped from a 3.5B budget to 12B and it is still not finished. Then maybe the US try to make it look worst than it is for their own agenda. So I guess I will buy a Geiger counter since I am not far from it.

I think an unscrupulous developer would find 10% of $275mn to be a pretty big incentive. Sure it’s relatively less, but still a very large number.
Psychology has the sizable problem that everything is a disorder but very little is actually known about any of them.

You can't say "ADHD is this" and point at a definitive cause, tis just a bag of related symptoms that is geared more towards consistent diagnoses (i.e. you go to five different doctors and they all diagnose the same thing) rather than attachment to a common underlying cause or consistent treatment plan and success phase.

This isn't to say psychology is useless, many people find great help in it... but when it comes down to it, it is scientists (who as a whole have some of the biggest problems in being good at being scientists) trying to describe malfunctions of the highest abstraction on the most complicated class of things known to exist... and just scratching the surface.

The last D is for Disorder... it's a value judgment and the question does need to be asked: if something isn't causing significant problems, is it a disorder? The answer isn't clear cut and people are going to draw the line in the wide grey area in different places.

The solution must be neuroscience continuing to advance to higher levels and replacing the vagueries of psychology with justifiable cause and effect explanations. It is advancing but still a far way off.
> And somehow you did not become a world-class football player...

And that didn't make it any less fun.

Furthermore, there is no shortage of professional highly competent football players who grew up in a poor country playing football in a field without a dollar in sight. Corporate sponsorships simply are not necessary for youth athletics. Never have been, and never will be.

Two solutions I’ve used for similar are to tie the items to something I NEED - such as connect them to car keys - or get multiple copies.

Not always going to work but if I need to remember to bring a bag with me I put my car keys in the bag; harder to forget.
10 years ago, I built chooseyourboss.com from scratch for a client of mine (with one of my best friends).

Our principles at the time were very similar to what Triplebyte is trying to do now: give power back to developers.

We build a version of "hired" (did they die?) before "hired" even exist. A matching platform that was matching people with companies that was sharing both their desires and values. Small/big company. Consulting/Product company. How much $$ do you want? What technologies you're interested in? Where do you want to work? All of this anonymously of course.

It was all fine and dandy, the company actually still exists and generates revenue, but I'm overall very bearish on the recruiting space.

It's a sales game. It's a numbers game. And on top of this the people top companies REALLY want to hire aren't hanging out in these recruiting platforms. So as a platform you're only feeding average/average low candidates to companies, and in the meantime, companies that have in house or externalized sourcing resources get better results by going over linkedin and their employees network.

It then becomes a financial game for companies.

And platforms that are not linkeding rarely win.
If that were so then there would be no need for native graph databases at all, and we would not be seeing cases that could not be served by relational dbs that are possible with Neo4j and native graphs.

You may be thinking of non-graph use cases. When hundreds of thousands to millions or more traversals are required to address graphy use cases, if those traversals are implemented as table joins, and the join complexity is dependent upon tables that are millions or billions in size (so dependence on total size of the data instead of just the relevant connected relationships) then you can see where pointer hopping on only relevant connected relationship and node records (proportional only to the elements of the subgraph traversed, not total data) would outperform the relational model. Also you have the flexibility of being as strict or as lenient as required with the labels of nodes traversed or the relationship types traversed, as well as their direction. That's tougher to do when you may not know what tables are meant to be joined or how, or if you pour all your nodes into a giant table, where the join cost is proportional to your total data.

Relational databases are very good at what they do. But no tool is perfect and covers all use cases easily. Design is a matter of tradeoffs, and some of the design choices made that make them excellent in many categories becomes a weakness in others. We're in an era of big data, huge data, where modeling, traversing, and exploring the connections within this data is increasingly valuable, and increasingly costly due to the sheer amount of data and the complexity of both the connections between and the use cases themselves. Native graph databases are a tool for these cases, and can also bring along simplicity in modeling and querying to the table as well as the performance that gives them an edge in these cases.
I remember hearing a doctor on the radio say that either all drugs should be legal or illegal - otherwise it's rank hypocrisy.

They or someone also said with legality use goes up but crime goes down.

I wasn't trying to be snarky, even though I realize now it must have come off that way. I understand full well what depression is, as I have struggled with it for years. I genuinely wish I could take 4 months worth of paid sick leave like this article's author was able to. That's not exactly an option here in the USA though.
> That's bullshit though

Whoa! Calm down. It was a statement that we both know to be wrong, but it doesn't warrant this kind of response.
I couldn’t not refer the guy after I spent 15 minutes listening to his…not exactly well-thought-out, but certainly extensively-thought-out idea. Also, it was Friday afternoon and I needed a way to get off the phone. Just hanging up seemed rude.
I used it to build a fully wireless split keyboard. Each half has a BLE-capable MCU (nice!nano). The primary half communicate with the secondary half and primary halves. It works WAY better than I thought it was. I was quite concerned about latency and the secondary half modifier keys. Instead, the biggest problem is the hot-swap sockets I got. I will go back to soldering my switches from now on.

Sounds like we wouldn't be compatible.

You say "I've also found that folks who can't / won't talk money - usually not great hires for a bunch of reasons."

The same goes in my experience for companies which insist on talking salary before the job offer. It's a red flag.

"you have to have a clue about what type of comp would work for you (early on in initial call or two) or it's just not worth continuing forward"

Of course I have a clue, but I'm not going to put myself at a disadvantage in the negotiation by revealing it before I've been given a firm job offer and heard a number from the company first.

Also, in my experience recruiters are the ones who push hardest to hear salary expectations up front. They know it'll give them a leg up in negotiations, and some of them are even paid specifically to get that number (as one recruiter was brazen enough to reveal to me).
eh.. "it's just like working with any third party cloud provider" - not exactly.

most cloud providers have not posted that they will actively scan what your visitors read and write to send info to three letter agencies so that men with guns can decide if freedoms you or your visitors have had should continue.

It's even more interesting that the ssl and encryption stuff is so confusing that even tech focused professionals do not know it's possible - just because cloudflare is the dns used.

I guess that really means that the little lock icon in the url bar is a very false sense of whatever for 18% of the web.
Why not just offer junior engineers for free? If companies don't want to pay you for junior engineers, they're not going to suddenly start caring when you're giving them 10 instead of 1. If they're paying you for seniors just let them pay you for seniors.
This quote is from a longer article. The specific comparison made there is how we relate to transgender people.

> Imagine if we could give depressed people a much higher quality of life merely by giving them cheap natural hormones. I don’t think there’s a psychiatrist in the world who wouldn’t celebrate that as one of the biggest mental health advances in a generation. Imagine if we could ameliorate schizophrenia with one safe simple surgery, just snip snip you’re not schizophrenic anymore. Pretty sure that would win all of the Nobel prizes. Imagine that we could make a serious dent in bipolar disorder just by calling people different pronouns. I’m pretty sure the entire mental health field would join together in bludgeoning anybody who refused to do that. We would bludgeon them over the head with big books about the side effects of lithium.

Was, and still am, if I'm being honest.
The General Fusion design covers the walls with a molten mix of lead and lithium held in place by spinning the chamber. The lithium turns to tritium when you bang on it with a neutron to crease more inputs to the D-T fusion process. And lead doesn't really mind getting hit with neutrons. From the diagrams on Wikipedia[1] it looks like there is some normal metal exposed which might get neutron activated.

> the “pseudo” in “psuedoscience” is usually the explanation

Explanation of what?

I would say that NLP is non-scientific or pre-scientific, yet you can find practitioners and promoters who claim it is scientific, so to that extent NLP is pseudoscience. The trouble is that detractors use the label "pseudoscience" to cast shade on the whole thing, throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

The techniques developed under the rubric of NLP are rigorous and repeatable. E.g. the phobia cure or the "Visual Kinesthetic Squash" are like algorithms, in the sense that they are concrete patterns that work to create specific changes. They have been tested and refined and the essential elements boiled down to render specific steps without extraneous elements. A person can learn a pattern like the phobia cure and apply it to cure phobias. So there is a kind of rigor and repeatability that distinguishes NLP from the vast majority of schools of psychology.

> I do doubt his explanations of what it was exactly that helped, and why.

One of the most interesting (IMO) aspects of NLP is that Bandler and Grinder were very careful not to speculate as to how or why these patterns work, they refused to develop theories. The patterns were developed operationally without trying to find explanations or stories for what was going on in the brain that made them work. So no one knows why the "VK Squash" works. No one knows why the phobia cure works. But they do work. And sometimes they don't, so you try something else. It's not scientific, it's operational: do what works.
Never stated that they weren't important? Most minimum wage workers I know that work in the city live outside of it.
Sure, but shuffling units around is the starting point of a new financial system. I like to say that DeFi is speed running the creation of a financial system from scratch. Storing value, trading currencies, borrowing/lending, derivatives, insurance, etc. are some of the building blocks of a financial system and all are currently live in the Ethereum ecosystem.

I think some people got sold on this false premise that cryptocurrency would reinvent the entire world, build a new decentralized internet, etc. etc. And then they miss what's actually happening, because it's just "boring finance stuff". This is actually really important stuff that's being built.

My guess is the influence of Strongtalk is in this context taken to be influence of Smalltalk.

My problem with these platforms is that I never end up ‘matching’ with any companies because almost without exception their ethos is ‘cheap and fast’. The only way to change that is from the inside.
These maps are fun and fascinating, but can be misleading for the supplement enthusiasts.

In many cases you can trace pathways upstream until arriving at a supplement or nutrient that can be bought online. People erroneously assume that consuming that nutrient will achieve some downstream effects in certain pathways because all of the arrows connect. It's not that simple, though. For the most part our bodies are excellent at absorbing the nutrients we need and regulating everything as appropriate.
> So because there are pedophiles, we should build backdoors in all cloud image hosting services?

That’s not what I’m saying and I can’t possibly imagine how you could infer that in good faith.
There's likely a confounding variable. As someone who runs in circles with a lot of founders, what drives people to start companies is general life dissatisfaction and a search for meaning that they aim to find by taking the leap to start their own company which they hope will create meaning in their lives.

Given that 80-90% of startups fail, it's like the old xkcd. [1] You started with 1 problem (dissatisfied with life), went to solve it, and now you have 2 problems (dissatisfied with life & a failed company).

They could also start by, you know, not paying the players wages measured in GDPs and maybe knock them down to say, only-1-super-car type figures? Pretty certain you'd still get people wanting to be (famous) footballers.
I don't think powershell is even the powershell of windows. You get some of the better sysadmins using it, but working in the c#/windows world I see developers rarely touching powershell, certainly nowhere near as often as you'll see Linux develops writing a shell script. I wouldn't be surprised if C# was more used for "scripting" purposes than powershell, it usually ends up shorter and more readable anyway.
I like telegram's sticker system best. User defined images which you can organize and store in the UI for easy access.
There would be, just not as highly paid. Take 70s pay and adjust for inflation. That approximation probably wouldn’t be far off.

No sponsors, no TV, no TV, less exposure, smaller market, revenue would come from attendance and some merchandising maybe (without sponsors).
SwiftUI is pretty clearly inspired by React, and as Will hinted in a sister comment, Rich is inspired by (I assume) React as well. So, I think the relationship is tangential rather than direct.
My grandfather earned his college degree via mail order around 1900, and liked the idea so much he spent the rest of his career as a salesman for college correspondence courses. He met my grandmother via selling her engineering courses. (I always laugh when people tell me women couldn't be engineers in those days.)

He started his career as a coaler on a steamship, probably one of the worst jobs at the time. Correspondence courses were a way up for people who could not afford attending college.
The total value of all gold ever mined is just 10.5x greater than Bitcoin's market cap. It was only 6.1x at the peak in April.

From my maximalist perspective, we aren't that far from Bitcoin becoming a viable global reserve currency (El Salvador just made it legal tender, other countries are investigating doing the same).

The moon may not be that far away.
Coca-Cola probably paid a lot of money to have their two drinks shown in the interviews. Changing that is probably some kind of breach of contract by the organizers of the event.
>Remember iAds?

iAds were what quality ads should have been, except the money and scale just wasn't there at the time. But iAds was never about target placement. Which is what current App Store Ads are about.

And I believe Steve never said anything about Ads being evil. He himself worked with Ads agency in a very deep level to get Great Apple Ads out. Unlike the current Apple PR which is trying to shape the view that all ads are evil.
There is a mental health aspect to this for sure, but there is also a practical one. From a mental health perspective people who are bipolar are very over represented in the founder pool because mania is rewarded in many startup situations. Even if one is not clinically bipolar the experience of running a startup is like imposing this condition on yourself in many ways. There is also a practical aspect to this problem, if you don't want founders to kill themselves give them a job board. I'm 43 years old with no degree, I've taken two startups including the one I'm running now from zero to $50K in MRR on shoestring budgets. If I fail this time my fall back plan is to work at a tire store or be a police officer. Yeah I've been through the Google hiring process and others but in the end I always come up just short, because I'm a little weird and I'm not a specialist... I'm a generalist. Not enough businesses actively recruit failed founders, this promotes the succeed at all costs mentality which is obviously toxic.
Rounded corners? Windows, you were the last holdout.
I think there is innovation here. For example: the core module uses 4 ion thrusters to maintain the station in orbit. This reduces the amount of propellant and re-supply mission needed. Fuel resupply is major cost to running a space station.
https://futurism.com/chinas-new-space-station-powered-ion-th...

The core module's solar panels produces 100kw of power while being a lot smaller than the one on the ISS. Though granted this is because of advancements in tech after the ISS is built.

A good engineering design is one that completes the stated goals and balances costs, complexity.

The ISS is an amazing feet of engineering. It explored many aspects of the previously unknown areas of permeant presence in space. It is also grand in imagination and design.

But for Chinese space agency, they need to keep in mind of their constraints, schedules, resources and capability. For one, ISS could be built the way it is because the US has the space shuttle. The space shuttle propels the modules to its target. But China only have rockets, and each module must navigate and propel themselves to the space station. They will have solar panels, thrusters, control. At that point, by simply dock each modules together you already have a space station.

Design a core module. The inner space is astronauts living quarters. The outer shell contains thrusters, electrical, life support and power systems. Put docking ports at the two ends of the cylinder. This is just a straight forward design that works.

China's space program's goal for the space station is 1: able to run a long term permeant space presence 2: support research needs in space. So they figured have three astronauts, dock two modules for laboratories, dock 1 cargo ship, 2 manned ship is all they need at this moment. And they can design one core module that does all this. Then all you need is have 3 rockets launches for the heavy modules, a few cargo and manned mission. As all of the docking is automatic, you don't need a lot of human involvement and assembly from outer space. You get a working space station built at a very low effort.

This design can be expanded in the future if there is need. They can sent another core module, have it dock at the front port, and now you get another 2 dock ports for modules and space for 3 more astronauts. They are also planning to sent a space telescope. Have it nearby the station. Detach from the station during observation to reduce vibration. Dock with the station for repairs or other tasks.
