I take blood tests regularly. They are very picky about sample collection time.
Are you skeptical because it seems too good to be true that he might actually enjoy it? Honestly, i think I understand what he’s saying. I started doing some barback work - basically keeping the bar moving - after being in tech for a decade. It’s way more fun. The bartender I’ve worked with also used to work in tech. And honestly, the money can be good, too. Turns out you don’t need to spend as much just to get yourself unburnt out.

Well we are, and thus the exploding case numbers right now in the anti-vax portions of the US. Darwinism is not a great public health policy though.

Hey, radiologist here.

So, the question of "what next" after a positive result on one of these tests is still... open. The Grail test provides indication of likely tissue of origin, so a likely first step may be a targeted study (e.g. colonoscopy if it said a colonic source, MRI if it said pancreatic). There may be role for PET/CT as well to further stage and assess for metastases, perhaps after finding a lesion.

What to do if your blood test is positive but the workup is negative? Lots of discussion but nobody is quite sure.

As for a periodic full body MRI, I will say that currently uh, most of those are garbage. Unfortunately, for a full body MRI to be practical (that is, to not take hours and hours), you have to run very few sequences. (For example, a dedicated MRI of say, your brain or your liver alone could take about hour, each.) As a result, you greatly reduce your sensitivity for most pathologies, which kind of is counter to the point of the MRI to begin with.
The massive outsourcing experiment failure had nothing to do with standard of living or education. It was the combination of timezones and cultural differences.

Turns out cultural differences around work, communication, etc between the US and India/China are pretty massive. I seriously doubt that these went away in 2 decades.

Also, your argument around standard of living and education would actually be more proof that outsourcing would not work. It is no longer as financially beneficial.

That being said, you're also right, past failure doesn't mean that it can't ever be successful in the future.

I wouldn’t have accepted the position in the first place.

If I really would have needed the job, I would have left as soon as possible (6 months max).

I'm amazed they decided to rebuild Jira or Trello instead of focusing on getting something out the door.
>To truly take on the likes of Google, they need to build ecosystems instead of just one unique service.

I'd like to see this leverage decentralisation and/or open standards rather than see each of these companies building interoperable walled gardens. I think this dream is unlikely because sadly it's less obvious as an option for monetisation which, at the end of the day, is why each of these companies exist.
> If it’s not there - who is suffering, experiencing problems?

It's void in the sense that it's a black hole and a black box. You feed it, and it all disappears into a void. Your ego will then ask you to do things to feed it more, but nothing good comes of this. You are simply ego-driven. And in an ego-embodying state, when your ego fails, you fail. Crisis. This crisis is the worst when you cause it. When you realize your ego is an idiot, but still equate it with you, "you" becomes a paradox.

> 2. Who is “I” if not the sum of all parts working together?

Right. But you're your hand, but your hand is external to the one doing the feeling, thinking, and controlling. You can exist without it. Repeat for every part. Headaches may be the most telling. Literally, your head is hurting. Yet, we swallow a pill and get on with our lives.

Once you strip everything away, you're left with an observer that can feel and talk and decide. A stripped consciousness. At this level we may truly all be the same. It is at this level that we must connect.

Of course, ego-embodying people connect with their egos. This explains most of the people I've met in the last 20 years through work in Los Angeles. Once you're not an ego booster to them, the relationship is over. But they all use ego-boosting to make relationships and sustain them. They believe that's how they'll make it, when all it is is their ego thirsty for attention and money.

Well, the one doing the ego-boosting, the one deciding to do it, and the one okay with it, is the selfless you that can do, decide, and not be okay with the opposite.

> that your model isn’t just a play of words

It's all words. Or at least, every version of the world exposes itself as (a play of) words.

When I see someone reasoning with self- words, I see them playing with fire, and I can easily fix their expressions to be less egocentric. Usually it makes them feel better too. It's semantic surgery and semantic therapy. You hear a pessimist and if you're an optimist, you know right away how unnecessary some of their framing of the world can be. It's all in our words.

> what difference does it make - how we split the cake and how we call our different parts

We can split it however we see fit, but it makes all the difference. If you identify with your ego, you'll live one way. If you identify your ego as a needy pesky pet that lives in your mind that requires occassional feeding, you'll live another way.

The ego serves a purpose. It can make you feel really really good. It's tenticales stretch into our nervous system. It rewards us for our successes and punishes us for our failures. Or at least tries to. Kids are all one with their egos. It's with maturity that we learn detachement and transcendence. That's when we stop taking everything so personally and decide it's not okay to let our ego do the driving. But when you have the entire western culture obsessed with individualism, too many of us have become intellectually engrossed in ego-driven self-worship. We then attach our egos to group identities and go to war with them. To facebook and twitter.

And that needs to be called out for exactly what it is: Immature.
> If they added a text [...] then it would be ok.

I’d agree with that as long as the text is visible before entering the email address, and the text also mentions that email will be saved before completing the form.

> I bet you will see at least 5 third-party tracking scripts

Analytics and tracking scripts is a good point. Sometimes it’s implemented in a way where tracking scripts don’t have access to keystrokes, for example by iframing them, and you’d hope that the web site owner would care enough about their own security to do that. But you’re right that unfortunately it’s common. In this case I think we need some legal protection in the US and elsewhere similar to GDPR that clarifies that collecting such information can only be done with explicit consent.
>That said, it's kind of nice to have interests that don't become 'work'.

Many people, including myself, do/have felt guilt over doing things too much that don't make money. Where that comes from or how that works, not sure, but I have met many people who had that. And wanted their hobbies to make money in order not to feel guilty about doing them.
I love Facebook, but here is my strongest advice to the company
`go get` isn't a command you should be using to just be a handy way to clone a git repo to your PC. Yes, that was literally what it does today and that was effectively the workflow before modules.

But GOPATH is deprecated so you shouldn't be relying on that anymore anyway.

The expectation is that the user just clones your Git repo to _anywhere_ on their PC and runs `go test` there. If they want to consume this local development version in their application then they use a simple `replace` directive in their go.mod to point their dependency at their local version.

If they're still using GOPATH then that's something they can probably manage themselves honestly. That's just a simple folder move. It's been like, what, nearly 2 years since GOPATH was deprecated?

Yeah I think it's a major transition for both employees and employers to figure out where to go from here. I suspect the best thing for people looking for new work is to find something that matches your values. As a startup founder, I started Earth Wallet around these core values - Creating a Better Planet, Innovating & Evolving, and Trust & Respect.

If anyone believes in these values, we offer a flexible, remote-friendly lifestyle, with two meetups a year at cool places like Bali, Greece, Costa Rica, Barbados, and adding new ones as time goes on! So if you're a developer looking for a new way of working in the decentralization space, feel free to reach me at developers@earthwallet.io!

If your only critique of the article is why FNF got popular, then that seems like a really minor critique overall. But honestly, comparing it to Among Us makes me doubt you on this. First of all, simply pointing to Twitch streamers is giving them too much credit. Twitch streamers may be early to trends, but seldom do they start them alone. Secondly, Among Us is particularly good for streaming because it pushed a lot of streamers with pre-existing relationships to stream the game with eachother, and lead to interesting content for that reason alone.

I will gladly agree that Twitch streamers may have helped boost Among Us out of its slump. I also agree that it helped FNF too. But you know what else helped Among Us and FNF? Millions of views on YouTube, Tiktok, fanart on Twitter/NG/elsewhere, mods across the entire Internet, etc. and where it’s fair to say that Twitch could’ve been the catalyst for Among Us, saying that it is the catalyst for FNF without further evidence seems patently unfair. Big platforms like TikTok and YouTube are more than capable of driving viral sensations that are bigger than the entire audiences of “a couple dozen highly interconnected Twitch streamers.” (For clarification I regularly watch a couple of the Twitch streamers you are likely grouping into this category so yes I do know how large their audiences are.)
Star Wars Online is the closest you'll probably get, also made by Bioware and probably what sucked the life out of the ME team at the time.
I’m not outright disagreeing, but it seems your last statement contradicts the rest of the payday example. “If instead we start to examine causality we can start to figure out the root of the issue and how to address.”

The causality piece is exactly the issue, right? People who use payday loans have less savings, more likely to work in jobs where their hours are unstable, have other poor financial indicators (past use of a payday loan, for example). Black people may disproportionately fall into this category, but I would argue it is wrong to effectively punish all black people (or conversely give other ethnicities an easier time) simply because of their race.

Biases exist, no argument there. The dilemma is what we do with them.
Absolutely. There is no free lunch. UBI comes on the backs of the value adding class of society. Some people actually LIKE to work, hard as it is for some to believe.

The Value Adding Class will have privilege thrust upon them in the form of paying for those young males to hang out and get in fights.

Ive had the dubious honor of knowing more than one kid who was never going to have to work a single day in life owing to who their parents and grandparents were. They tend to end up chemical addicted for the most part.

Yes, planting, watering and weeding are the easy parts. Keeping deer, birds, rabbits and raccoons from eating everything is a much bigger issue, in my experience.
I never liked "go get" approach to dependency management in Go. It always seemed wrong. Even npm or maven got it better.

On the other hand, deprecating a critical tool of infrastructure leaves a sour taste. Many people would be pissed of. Better not including it in the first place.

IMHO such tooling should not be part of the language itself, and be left to the community.

Most couples take a second job to increase their standard of living, but now millions were forced by the pandemic to reduce their standard of living, and many are now saying "Wait, this reduction in my standard of living is really an improvement in my standard of living." That's especially true when some phase-shift decision was made, like taking in roommates to one's apartment, or moving back in with one's parents, suddenly one's expenses are much lower, and one can think more carefully about what kind of work one is willing to take.
Yes, several. They all seem plausible as well, which doesn't tell me anything about any of them being true or not.

1. The US mass media's race to the bottom as previous/traditional revenue models and funding mechanisms fall away

2. Rising economic hardship and income inequality causing greater widespread dissatisfaction with the status quo

3. App-based "free" social media in general where engagement time is prioritized above all else (Facebook didn't invent this)

4. The growing influence of big tech and financialization (SV and Wall Street) and the waning influence of the american worker

5. Demagogues

6. The death throes of the US political parties as they thrash about in a desperate push to try to stay relevant, resorting to simple and effective scapegoating and tribalism

I'm sure you can probably toss out a few more plausible ones, too.
> No. IRA is funded with your money, so you should be able to do with it what you please.

No. You can't even do what you please with money that's not in an IRA. And I mean, you already have to accept other restrictions to enjoy the tax advantages of an IRA, so what's so bad about adding another small one to solve this problem?
By definition, no, it is not.
> Adding a third option, proposing sex being the superior categorisation completely ignores the existence of intersex people.

This is another assertion that I also don't quite understand. (I want to emphasize I'm not trolling here—I'm genuinely interested. Topics like this are obviously highly charged and challenging to discuss in a fruitful way.)

Vocabulary exists for discussing intersex characteristics, so the existence of intersex people is known and acknowledged. Is there something special about pronouns?
Curious: Did you evaluate MS Office? I feel like Microsoft gets left out of a lot of these conversations because of a cult-like 'M$ is bad' culture in SV, but a lot of people I've talked to haven't even used or tried their products in years if ever.

> Terminal 1, which (partially) serves inter-European Star Alliance flights is just pretty bad in terms of seating, amenities, space, interior decoration and general chaos.

That must have been where we were. If that's "pretty bad", then no more so than any other European airport IME/AFAICR.

> Wait time and accessibility (by RER or unreliable bus) are just awful.

We took the RER both ways. Worked pretty well, I thought.

> Flying in is less bad (if you didn't check in luggage).

We did, and I can't recall any problem with that.

> Still, connectivity is pretty bad compared to other European airports. Just getting your ticket for the RER can be a frustrating experience.

IIRC we used the ticket-vending machines on the platform. Sure, the UI is usually somewhat cryptic on those anywhere -- did we overpay, again? Can't recall, but quite possible -- but no worse at CDG than anywhere else I can recall.

> One caveat: I never flew intercontinental or transferred there. It may be a better experience.

Me neither; Helsinki - Paris and back.

Either we had exceptional luck... Or maybe you've got a slightly irrational bee in your bonnet about CDG.
I regret that this is the actual title of the article, but alas.

Submitted it because this quote caught my eye:

> “One thing Jonah was saying very early on that people thought was crazy — I thought he was crazy — was that platforms were like cable networks, and we had to find distribution on the new networks,” says Smith, now the media columnist for The New York Times. “Ultimately, directly or indirectly, they were going to pay.”

BuzzFeed News' investigative reporting is essentially enabled by the clickbait on BuzzFeed, but what's interesting is the perception that the clickbait and sharing are essentially the currency used to "buy" network time, the network in this case being social media distribution.
Maybe from the fact they have a bespoke custom progress tracker? Seems a lot of time's been spent on looking good on paper.
I don't believe in censorship, but that doesn't mean you give people a bullhorn to spout false information. This platforms have a responsibility to not give a bullhorn out in these cases. This isn't censorship, it is not allowing scientifically false claims to spread.
It's not the most palatable, but it is very effective, and should be allowed to proceed unencumbered.
Seagate EOL'd its "GoFlex" series of drives (NAS and external cases) a couple years ago. The right thing to do would have been to open it up (they're running linux) so that people could make better use of them instead of essentially turning them into semi-crippled garbage. Someone's dedicated blog gave a bit more usability for a while (such as the necessary hacks to actually make the drives compatible with their own system!) - http://goflexhome.blogspot.com/p/ive-had-my-goflex-home-for-....

Yeah - they sold interchangeable drives/docks that wouldn't actually work interchangeably until you issued your own fixes. They had a stupid server-based auth system that they obviously didn't want to keep maintaining. But, that auth system wasn't even necessary except for utilizing their webclient.

It's a shame, because the NAS/DLNA drive was fast and reliable on a home network.
This article is interesting because I completely agree with the underlying point but completely disagree with the implementation.

The specific problems that occur in a programming interview were crafted because when the first developers were working on C code, that is what you needed to know to be able to make a program. As time has passed, our languages no longer have the same data structures and algorithm requirements, but we still ask the same questions because we have cargo-culted the interview.

And yet the author is entirely correct.

> "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships." ― Linus Torvalds

Knowing data structures is incredibly important. It's just _different_ data structures. We need to stop learning backward looking algorithms and start learning forward looking algorithms and data structures.

Likewise, that same anti-sunk cost thinking is correct. John Carmack, for instance, is well known for having gone on "programming retreats"[0]. These are tasks that will not pay-off for his current project, but will allow him to change his thinking over time.

The next vacation I am going to go on I am going to attempt to learn microKanren, not because it has any value to my current work, and not because it has value to me getting a new job. I learn microKanren because I expect that I am going to learn something fundamental that the Torvalds quote above is hinting at. If data structures are so important, can we get to no code?

> I cannot afford to be principled and walk out every time my employer wants to ship buggy code

And your manager can't afford to fire everyone who pushes back on shipping insecure code. And its not a black and white thing. There's almost always paths which work for everyone. Actively looking for those paths isn't the sign of a bad employee. Its the sign of leadership.

In my experience people who step into that sort of responsibility don't get fired. They get promoted.
Good on you for standing up to what you saw as a violation of trust and ethics! You're light on the details of the departure though. Were they explicit that the relationship "fizzled" because of your refusal to deploy the code?

At a meta level, this post seems a little strange to me. Is the linked site your blog? Or a discussion forum you're trying to bootstrap and drive traffic to? If telling the story of this ethical dilemma and the consequences were the driving motivation for this submission, it seems a little low effort and light on details of the consequences. But if it was to drive traffic to your forum, then I guess it did a good job.
I had a friend reach out to me, because his dad is a farmer and needed a programmer to work on his tractors, or something like that. I gave him some suggestions such as posting upwork, and fverr. I would hate to be in his position. I don't see anyone with the required electrical engineering background, willing to work on a one off project for a farmer. As far as I know, he did not find anyone.
I just tested and immediately bookmarked it.

The knee-jerk reaction is a knee-jerk reaction to the thought that legisilation is the end all be all of a problem. Marijuanna legilisation in the early states made it so difficult that it was better to stay underground. I remember in California the pro-marijuana people were actually opposed to the rules as written and being voted.

Talking is cheap. We've been talking. Most of the congress critters in office now do not understand most what's being legislated (if they've even read the full bill past the talking points). That's why most bills are actually written by lobbyist groups, and the congress critter just puts their name on it. Surely, there's nothing that could go wrong with that now is there?
This is going to become a more common theme. Geopolitics spill into everyday life in all sorts of unexpected ways.
There is a difference between the seller and the maker. But as the customer is supposed to be covered one way or another for 2 years, does it really matter in the end ?

For instance Apple had to extend its warranty to 2 years in europe, while leaving it at one year everywhere else for a while. The same way, most sellers won’t deal with makers that will put them on the spot for repeated repairs down the line.
I'm going to be harsh; if those dependencies don't update themselves, they have been abandoned and should be migrated away from.
