You will never get wealthy through employment, because lazy governments use tax on salaries as a proxy to tax big corporations. So you work hard and get very little in exchange.

Wealthy people live off passive income, dividends, capital gains and so on.

So if you want to take a jump, you need to become an expert on stock trading and start investing.

Then maybe after 10 or so years you could retire unless the government move goal posts again and tax the small guy more.
Very cool, thanks for the link.

Ahh, the good old "law of value" argument [0]. Ok, I'll bite:

As an employee, I am paid based on my deliverables, which are captured in my OKRs. My OKRs say nothing about the overall productivity of the company, and instead all that matters is my specific scope of work. Within that framework, I would get more done if I didn't have to commute, so that's a vote for WFH. Also, at home I am not as accountable as at the office, so there's another vote for WFH. Finally, I have a number of errands to run, and those would be all easier when WFH, so there we go => 3:0 for WFH.

The paragraph above will tell you a lot about the fall of the Soviet Union and the majority of other communist experiments (including the one that I grew up in). Marxist thinking sounds great in theory, but to this day we haven't had a single successful outcome, and you can't really say that people haven't tried.

It's hard for people to have less money to spend when there's 5x as much M1 [1], and 32% more M2 [2], and for the entirety of the last year - the personal savings rate was at an all time high [3].

People have more money now than ever before. I wouldn't expect a reduction in commerce in aggregate because ~3% of the workforce quit temporarily or even permanently.

I won't be surprised if inflation gets so high that there's a reduction real terms. But that hasn't happened yet.

They usually do not sign NDAs (and can get in trouble if they do, especially if it interferes with their offical duties).
Hedge funds have targets for volatility and rates of return that they try to meet. Endowment managers take such metrics into account when allocating money across different asset classes. They are most certainly not giving away their entire endowment to buy GME.

The only controversy I can see is whether the returns provided by hedge funds outweigh the management/performance fees they charge.
I have 6 kids, 7 is on the way. I have changed jobs when my wife is pregnant. If you have no parental bonding leave, it's not big deal. I had no leave with my 1st 5 kids and 2 weeks with my 6th.
My current company has 6 weeks, so I'm incentivized to stick around. They treat me pretty well overall.

Find something you like and keep at it, since 2001, I've gone from:

Yes, but, we have been measuring (and at increasing accuracy and with a changing landscape) for not so very long.
I hate every time this mandate is slinged around as if this is the only way humans can operate intelligently.

Humans are deductive creatures and we're not terrible at constructing and testing hypotheses. A lot of value can be derived from discussing inconclusive topics, and an understanding of new subject matter can be established for those unfamiliar. It's a valuable exercise to walk through supporting facts.

I wish we didn't cry every time we conjecture.
I guess I misunderstood kak-tree. Seems like you are correct. Thanks for that pointer.
I can totally see the need for Apple to get people back in the office. I mean they've lost so much money during the pandem...what's that? Billions you say? Launched a new desktop architecture you say? Good heavens.

Apple has a horde of middle managers that need to get back to looking busy. If they can't watch every employee every second of the day how can they do their unofficial (but totally official) stack ranking come review time?

There's obviously legitimate reasons to get employees back in the office. At the same time their complete intransigence when it comes to remote work is just bull headed.

Tons of work at Apple is networked by nature. There's floods of e-mail (to the point it's almost useless), Slack chats galore, and tons of communication through Radar (Apple's issue tracker). The business need for in-person interaction for most engineers is actually pretty minimal. Many have to put a lot of effort into avoiding in-person distractions. Most in-person meetings would actually be better as e-mails.

I think their position is going to lose them some good talent. While on the whole those engineers can be replaced Apple runs lean engineering teams. Losing just one can hamstring that team for months. That can often mean a feature slips to the next OS release or a half-assed version lands. So an org losing even a dozen engineers all at once could screw it over for months.

While Memory Palace descriptions naturally focus on space and spatial reasoning as being the key ingredients to effectively storing memories, I think the binding problem of associating arbitrary items to specific locations, e.g. your front porch or staircase, is actually much more fundamental.

Bower (1972), for example, showed that short-term associative memory could be dramatically improved by imagining a unique scene involving the two items to be associated [1]. E.g. to remember DOG-BICYCLE (so that when you hear DOG you recall BICYCLE or vice versa) you imagine a dog riding a bicycle, or in this article to remember STEAK-PORCH you imagine a cow sitting on your porch. Since these will be very unique to each pair, you won't accidentally end up associating STEAK-BICYCLE or DOG-PORCH during recall.

In this light, the utility of the "palace" is simply that it's an extremely familiar ordered sequence or layout of items (e.g. PORCH, STAIRS, KITCHEN, BEDROOM, etc), not that it is fundamentally a 2D/3D spatial structure. In CS lingo, this sequence/layout would act as a fixed, ordered set of "keys" for recalling key-value pairs that you stored via the imagery process. For instance, if one used another familiar sequence, say the first scenes of your favorite movie you've seen a hundred times, you could creatively put the items in your grocery list into those scenes and then recall them by recalling the scenes in order and remembering what grocery item you put in each one.

Thus, I think there's a sense in which it's not 2D/3D space that's fundamental to better recall, but rather a familiar topologically organized layout of items/locations/scenes that you can use as the keys to bind new items to in the short-term via visualization.

"flip-flops" is a link and it takes you to hxxps://www.businessinsider.com/best-flip-flops which is exactly what you think it is, a review of some flip-flops with affiliate links. Who thought this was a good idea? I mean the flip-flop article is just referral trash like wirecutter and I guess some people like that but why would you link to that "article" (Ad) from this article? They have nothing in common. I can't tell if this was something gross the writer, editor, or blogging platform itself did but whatever it is I quite dislike it and the trend of linking to completely unrelated things just for referrals/affiliate-links or SEO-type reasons.
You seem to make very very bold assumptions without any data backing them up:
1. That current WFH isn't degrading company productivity. Some people love WFH, some hate it, and some just don't have space for that. And for FANGs, that are heavily concentrated in high-COL areas, having huge house with extra bedrooms that give you space for work isn't that common.
2. That brining people back to the office is the most horrible thing that can happen to the company.
3. That talented people prefer to WFH.

I get it, you like to WFH - that's great. But your anecdotes aren't data.

As someone who has worked with a lot of WMSes, I'd have to say that that is a domain that is extremely hard to get right.

There is a lot of literature (as well as jokes) in CS about cache invalidation and how hard it is to get right. Well, inventory tracking and warehouse management are actually remarkably similar problems to cache invalidation problems, and you can get all of the same things wrong. But worse. Because unlike cache invalidation, inventory moves via unreliable human processes, has return logistics when you get things wrong (sometimes even when you get things right), and sometimes things just magically disappear.
On the flip side, a full rewrite is really the only way to surface and understand all of those edge cases. People seem to harp on the idea that rewrites are bad, but I find them to be a natural part of the SDLC. It's a way to refresh the mental model for the devs currently working on it, since the original dev(s) probably moved on long ago. Updating the tech or architecture itself is just a byproduct.
...but the economics of such an attack are still very different from when the same thing happened to chase.com or td.com or some other bank that had consumer banking. Because you can send phishing e-mails to the general public and get a pretty good hitrate of people who happen to be in business with that bank and very much used to conducting their business with that bank through that same domain.

For GS.COM that hit-rate would be extremely small, unless you were somehow able to to reach people who are in business with GS with very high accuracy, and then the next problem you'd face is that the trust that these people put in GS.COM doesn't extend to doing any kind of business there. If you're a Norwegian oil company and you have GS handle your USD Forex forward contracts, then the way you do that kind of business is that you call somebody on the phone who works at GS, whose voice you recognize, who has likely invited you to their wedding at some point. You wouldn't expect them to send you an e-mail that put you into a web-flow on GS.COM that somehow ended up with you wiring a few million to an account number they display on-screen.

The code in the statistics library is actually quite a bit more complicated than I had expected. Is there a reason why a function like `mean` isnt just: `sum(data) / len(data)`?
Well, the yellow pages went online after they stopped printing physical books a few years ago. So an online list of most businesses already exists - are you just wanting to scrape that, or did you have some added value in mind?
Yup. Some annoying middle manager threatens to hire cheap labor abroad? Use GPT3 to automate that manager’s job so we can all get back to writing code. Lol

Well, can't you at least proxy phones and cards?

Like pre-paid cards. Or those banks that generate new card numbers for every transaction. Or having the cards be owned by some sort of company instead of an individual person?

Phones would be the same thing: you get temporary numbers that redirect you do the real one. I have no idea how feasible this would be, but I bet some similar service exists for businesses.

Often, especially when analyzing production logs, you might be interested in questions like "how many users were active in the last hour?" or "how many active connections in the past hour for each of my servers during high load?". It's nice when you know this up-front and instrumented Prometheus accordingly, but often these questions are retrospective.

If your log lines look like

010.100.111.132 - - [30/Jun/2021:15:30:11 +0000] "GET /rest/... HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "User Agent" "-" 212.031.212.003
010.100.111.132 - - [30/Jun/2021:15:30:10 +0000] "GET /rest/... HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "User Agent" "-" 212.031.212.004
010.100.111.132 - - [30/Jun/2021:15:30:09 +0000] "GET /rest/... HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "User Agent" "-" 212.031.212.003
010.100.111.131 - - [30/Jun/2021:15:30:08 +0000] "GET /rest/... HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "User Agent" "-" 212.031.212.006

Then you may be tempted to just use some `awk '{print $1 " " $15}' | sort -u | cut -d" " -f1 | uniq -c ` to back out unique IPs per server over the last hour for a rough estimate.

By using sketches, we can scale this solution to cases where the number of log lines would make `sort` fail due to OOM or take forever. Here, you'd run `dsrs --key`.
Personally I'm on Devuan because of my aversion to systemd, otherwise it would be mint for me.
> Instead of having to retype boilerplate code, your productivity is now enhanced by having a system that can do it for you

We already invented something for that a couple decades ago, and it's called a "library". And unlike this thing, libraries don't launder appropriation of the public commons with total disregard for those who have actually built that commons.
People like to point and laugh because Apple's obligation to shareholders constantly stands in the way of their social messaging. In one hand, they never miss an opportunity to stay current and kowtow to the current trend d'jour, and on the other they make incredibly asinine business decisions that completely undermine their rhetoric.
Hell, concrete foundations fail badly enough to need repairs pretty commonly within the first few years on new houses, and I don't just mean normal settling. Doing concrete right takes a lot of waiting and is highly dependent on the weather, which usually means even more waiting (for enough days in a row of the right weather). Builders (understandably) hate anything with that kind of potential to throw off a schedule—unpredictability can increase the total time construction takes by much, much longer than the individual delays themselves—so some of them cut corners. They also don't like to let the ground sit as long between excavation and pouring as they should, because time is money.

I wouldn't want a concrete house in the US without inspections so strict that the inspectors basically dictate when & how concrete may be poured, and/or laws explicitly breaking corporate liability protections for failure of concrete within some long time span, or otherwise ensuring that builders care very much that their structures last several decades without needing repair. I suspect they'd be crazy-expensive as a result.

I was recently watching a commencement address [0] by Neil Gaiman (author) and he talks about lying about writing for certain publications to get writing jobs. In a similar tangent, he mentioned that he made it a point to write for those publications after the fact.

Is it stereotyping, or deserved stigma?

I am not ignorant of video game culture. I’m just honest about the actual quality. I know games have storytelling. For instance, the Marathon series has an excellent story told via text read in terminals, utilising different types of prose and poetry, even concrete poetry, quite creative. The Halo series has something similar, except the primary storytelling mechanism is cinematic cut scenes, which, like 99.99% of such things, are terrible. Like the worst dregs of the sci-fy channel would have more artistic merit.

One of the main issues is that there is no longer the opportunity to 'overhear' things. You can make arguments all day for things to be written down more, develop a culture of it, etc., but there is still a lot of value from people who are working on different things shooting the shit at lunch, because they help each other learn, it improves team morale, etc.

Also, specifically because of the pandemic, "WFH" has left a bad taste in a lot of managers' mouths, because EVERYONE HAS GOT PROBLEMS right now. That has nothing to do with WFH, but everyone is calling it WFH, so that is now what WFH means - stuck at home, no ability to go out, miserable because your kids are at home and/or your SO and/or your family, no social interaction (or minimal) with your team or anyone else, etc.

That isn't what WFH means, but that is what a lot of people now think it means.

It can always get more meta.

For example, the AI tool that Microsoft's lawyers use ("Co-Counsel"), will be filing the DMCA notices and subsequenct lawsuits against Co-Pilot generated code.

This will result in a massive caseload for the courts, so naturally they'll turn to their AI tool ("DocketPlus Pro") to adjudicate all the cases.

Only thing left is to enter these AI-generated judgements into Etherium smart contracts. Then it's just computers suing other computers, and being ordered to send the fruits of their hashing to one another.
