> I've done a successful small photography business. It was way way way less stressful, more satisfying than office work

Ok, but did it generate more income? How many hours did you tend to work?

Averages and medians are quite useful tools when you're analyzing something like a population.

I don't think saying that a salaried job tends to be "the most lenient way to make money" is that controversial.

Maybe you had a good run with your photography business, for many other people it is far more difficult to get a venture off the ground than to work a normal job.
It's not that rare, I see it several times a year.

It is presumed that all foundation bolts are shot after about 50 years on any foundation in terms of their seismic performance. If you pull out an old foundation from say the 1950s, the bolts are almost invariably either totally corroded through or just a thread in the middle.

For a building basically sitting in saltwater, I would expect there to be widespread reinforcing steel failure at that age without proof to the contrary. Which is certainly one of the big reasons why they require recertification, although obviously the 40 year recertification schedule has proven to be woefully inadequate.

This will probably not wind up being more interesting than a failure to have rigorous enough inspection schedules and people dragging their feet to do what obviously had to happen. Those items appear far more important that the somewhat reduced amount of reinforcing steel compared to drawings at this point. It seems like relatively pedestrian negligence.

> If student loans were dischargeable in bankruptcy, the financially optimal decision would be to borrow as much as possible while in school, then declare bankruptcy immediately after graduation.

Bankruptcies stay on your credit report for seven years. That doesn't sound particularly "financially optimal" to me, or likely to anyone else.
Wasn't CASE just a fancy word for what we now call IDEs? Business people might not do much dragging and dropping there, but developers do it quite a bit.
I graduated from high school in 1982, and from college in 1986.

My mom was teaching CS courses at a satellite campus of a state university, mostly to older students looking to change careers. Many were trying to get out of assembly line or clerical jobs. Her students were getting programming jobs after one year of intro programming.

There was certainly a lot of misconceptions at the time. How could anybody know? How many programmers would really be needed? Did programming really require a college degree? My mom didn't think so. She thought the market for programmers would quickly saturate.

I loved programming, but majored in math and physics instead. At my college, the people who seemed to be doing cool things with computers (relative to my own interests of course) were in the physics department. I had a summer internship at a computer facility, and the work that the programmers were doing seemed boring.

The market for programmers did not rise monotonically in my region (the rust belt) because the entire regional economy was heaving up and down. By 1987, it was still not clear that computer science majors had a compelling advantage over self taught programmers in the job market, especially since the degree took 4 years.

What nobody anticipated is that while programming seems easy once you know how to do it, learning to program is prohibitive for most people, for reasons that I don't think we understand. The relationship between choosing to major in computer science, and achieving a successful career as a programmer, is tenuous at best.

I still love programming, but have never been employed as a programmer per se.
This is not about making people work less, it's about giving people the option to work less without paying dearly for it. (A 20 % pay cut should be the absolute maximum cost for a 20 % shorter work week, but as it stands today it's not. In practise, people who'd get about the same amount of actual work done in less time should have no pay cut. These are the problems we need to fix.)
A knot is not just the end result though, it's also how you tie it.

I don't know about Google, but Facebook and I presume some other big companies has an up or out policy. If you come in at Software Engineer N, they expect you to get promoted to SE N+1 in X years, and if you don't, they'll start evaluating you at that level anyway, and assuming you continue to put in level N work, you'll get a performance improvement plan, and then probably fired. There's some level which is considered ok to be 'terminal', you can be promoted above it, but they're also ok with you sitting at that level forever.

Just trying to say be sure to sniff around and make sure you understand the actual expectations.
Do you mean put a stop to nimbyism or put a stop to tower development?

I'm not one for completely favouring towers, but in this particular neighborhood, there's basically no new buyable housing stock. If people want to live here, they're either renting or buying one of the endlessly appreciating massive houses. That need to rent and the scarcity drives up the big house value further, and the only people who can get ahead are the ones who cam buy something for 1.7m.
I wonder if tab reordering is possible, creating pseudo-groups by merely placing all related ones next to each other. Then shift-clicking them could enable tearing off a new window containing all related tabs, which I 100% get isn't the same, but might not be totally worthless, either

Not familiar with his crypto hustle, but I watched some Martin Kleppman talks on YouTube, and Tech Lead commercials started devouring my YouTube. The algorithm mistook me for not knowing how to code? Not sure.

Apparently this tech lead guy created programming videos to teach you how to get hired at big tech companies. It turned out the partner guy in the videos wasn’t even a developer but had maybe interned somewhere in data science? And both of these guys were claiming to be career professionals, as if they were staff or principal engineers.

The ads reminded me of another character from many years ago that would show off a Lamborghini or some sports car in his garage with a wall of books - another scammy self help guru.

Edit: I looked tech lead up on YouTube as I read the Reddit post and typed up this post. I can’t tell if this guy is trying to be a parody/using dry humor or if he’s a narcissist sociopath.

No. This is an intentional accelerated approval. Approved based “likelihood of clinical benefit based on bio marker changes”. The FDA is NOT saying it definitely works, it’s saying there is enough data to give early access.
If you think this is life-changing (and it is), you should definitely learn more about Buddhism. The part you quoted is literally "Buddhism 101" (just look up "Four Noble Truths"). And it goes much deeper than that.
It is worth looking at the obstacles typical end users face.

In my experience, the #1 issue is poor WiFi deployment. Then, users of cable broadband use Ookla for speed tests instead of Fast - Ookla is scammed by Comcast and Frontier.

What if you want fiber on your block? In California, Comcast and AT&T will not touch the poles to protect their incumbency, and PG&E who owns the poles lies and says it’s the ISP’s problem that the poles aren’t ready for fiber. Based on my canvassing of fiber users in the Bay Area, pole improvements came from the cities’ commissions forcing PG&E to do the maintenance work, because it is supposed to anyway.

The EFF does not identify the real antagonist here: public utility companies.

What are you filming? It sounds like you’re streaming a video of your face; how are you capturing it? If your video is blasted with shot noise from a 10mm^2 sensor through an 4mm wide lens, where “1080p” is more of a recording convention than a faithful description of the resolving power of the system, I can see how 34Mbps might look as good as whatever you see uncompressed.

They've done a good job publishing specs for their on-disk formats, but thus far I've never seen anything for their extensions. Ironically, it's a tiny bit easier now that their in-browser uses the same API as does the "thick" client, but (AFAIK) that API still needs to be fully reversed enough to implement a separate extension

In a game of perfect information and no randomness, there are ultimately only two kinds of moves: those that preserve your current best forcible outcome (win or draw in chess*), and those that blunder that into a worse result given continued perfect play by the opponent.

Everything else like a positional score or centipawns or even classic material points is an abstraction, that we use to summarize because we don't have unbounded or sufficient computing power to solve all possible continuations. That score apparently going down is only an artifact of our limited ability to evaluate it; the only real scores are 0/½/1 for lose/draw/win. If you make mistakes, your score will evetually drop by those quantizations; we just typically don't know exactly when, except in endgame situations pared down enough to be computationally tractable.

And it's impossible to raise your estimated score, because that estimation assumes you continue to play perfectly. There's no such concept as a better-than-perfect move to raise your expectation over what was already calculated, since that calculation already includes all your best possible moves.

* (Other gradiations between win/lose/draw are possible in such a game. Chess doesn't have such, but imagine playing Go for a dollar per point, where nuances smaller than swinging a win or draw still matter.)

His channel is satire.

The problem I have with it is the extreme deadpan delivery, the arrogance and closeness to reality.

Obviously he’s playing a character; but I wish I didn’t get so much of a “this is serious” vibe.
You are right, the only thing that seems not to be open in Open Pilot is that. But apart from the code to train the model, the project is almost entirely open source. I don't think that's as bad as, say for example, OpenAI
its ok, I know what you are saying, even though you won't say it.
When I was telling people I'd study computer science at the end of the 80s, everyone said: "Why? Everything has already been developed, word processors etc. Nothing left to develop".
Yeah, sure - I just think it's profoundly cynical. He's doing this really typically academic thing of making out that people who have a different approach or tradition to a subject are actually not 'doing science', as it were. "Those who now read Austen "politically" are not reading her at all."

Ultimately, it comes down to jockeying for a limited number (in literature, very limited) of jobs. If people like Bloom can convince us that 'real reading' is not political reading, then people who take a political approach to literature won't get 'real reading' jobs in universities. Which they often don't, not because of this weak reasoning, but because apolitical hires are generally a safer choice.

He's providing rhetorical cover for the supression of political discourse, to the detriment of his own field. It's depressing, but it's the reason why so many inherently apolitical techniques and schools of thought flourished in the post-McCarthy era humanities.

They're building a brand. If they don't release the keys they won't get paid next time they hack someone. My understanding is ransomware groups have decent customer service too - some even have numbers you can call for help. Better than the majority of tech companies ;)

There's one way to end this for US businesses: criminalize paying ransomware ransoms, and end the ability to convert fiat to crypto.

Kill the fiat gateways, kill the scammers.
Right. Think about all the times you would answer “no” to “would you like to switch sides with your opponent right now?”, even as you are about to lose a few moves later.
No you cannot. Government is stopping you by preventing companies from hiring workers for more than they allow. That is the reason people get two or even three jobs.
Exactly. CMS is free to declare it insufficiently effective to be worth paying for.
Well, you need control theory whenever you need to have something kept at a certain level. House temperature, cruise control speed, etc..

Agreed. The FDA acting as a gatekeeper also keeps people from access to life saving therapies.

If you suck at PMF, it's likely you won't do well with marketplace software either. My own strength is PMF, so feel free to contact me, but often it's quite complex.

If you're good enough to charge $200/hour, I'd say classes or even a book. A lot of people do classes, but they really have no idea what they're talking about. There's a direct correlation between my skills and my income, so I'm happy to spend some money on improving my own skills. You might even join one of those other course platforms like Pluralsight.
In 1997 I bought my first car. During the small talk of signing the papers, the used car salesman asked what I did.

He said he had been a programmer, too, until the bust in the 1980s. Couldn't find any more work as a programmer so he went into used car sales.
I remain heavily sceptical and would not rush into such an idea.

> And as a result, researchers say, productivity and service provision remained the same or improved across the majority of workplaces included in the trial.

Any change leads to increased productivity - painting the walls or changing the colour of the lights increases productivity. We need to see long-term effects.

What I suspect will really happen is this artificial increase in income per hour will be used to circumvent the open problem of wage increase. Then cost of living will also increase and you'll barely be able to live on a normal 'well paying' career. But don't worry, you'll be forced to rent everything anyway as X-as-a-service becomes more popular.

> The idea of a four day week has some support in the UK, with 45 MPs from parties including Labour, SNP, Plaid Cymru, the SDLP and the Green Party signing an early day motion calling on the government to set up a commission to examine the proposal.

These are all left-wing parties. I would also add that these parties are also more likely to contain socialists (some MPs just openly declaring they are communists even).

> A poll published in July last year conducted by Survation found that 63 per cent of the public support the idea of a four-day week with no loss of pay, while only 12 per cent oppose.

You would likely find the same numbers for a zero hour work week. What people believe is good for them is not always what is actually good for them, hence the need for studies.

Also these surveys tend to be self-selecting, especially regarding people who don't work. When they were phoning during 9-5 office hours, most of the working population were at work.
You should hopefully be talking to each other at least every couple of days - the real advantage of having visibility of each other's branches comes when you use them to share work on a much smaller timescale.

As for caring about your reviewers' time and sanity, rewriting commits that they may already have seen is the opposite of that IMO. Any decent review tool will let you review a single combined diff for the whole branch, and that's what a reviewer who hasn't been following your progress will use. Meanwhile if a reviewer did happen look at your branch yesterday, taking away their ability to view just the changes since then is doing them no changes. (This is especially true when it comes to applying changes from review feedback - if I requested a couple of small fixes then I want to review a commit where you made those small fixes, I don't want to have to re-review the whole PR because you rebased)
I don’t hear much about it these days, but circa 2004 when I was going into computer science I had multiple teachers and a guidance counselor warn me that all the jobs would be going to India and tell me I should pursue something else. This seemed to be very much the prevailing wisdom of the time. I pursued it anyway as it was my passion.

I was one of five students in my program that had been a huge multi-campus program only a couple years earlier. We were the last cohort before the college discontinued the program entirely, and I was the only one to graduate. What I found however for maybe five years after graduation was a insanely high demand for developers.

There was genuinely a generation that was so strongly discouraged from becoming developers that there were very few. Seems to me like the folklorists have largely missed this.
The question is are cryptocurrencies securities?

There have been ICOs which definitely have been represented as securities and have been regulated/quashed/fined.

But when not used as a representation of ownership of currencies or assets... what is a cryptocurrency and does it fit into existing law about securities fraud?

Another way to ask the question: should the SEC regulate pump and dump schemes with collectables? (I'd say beanie babies and pokemon cards to date myself, I don't know what people are speculating on these days)
Anyone here know Indian law and how it operates in real life?

Stop them from doing what? The police won't prosecute. Security guards are private citizens and do not have an unlimited right to just grab other people and detain them. If the stolen goods are inside, say, a backpack, they also do not have the ability to search that backpack.

You can only have security guards if the state backs them up. The state is not backing them up.
Thanks for the heads up! Not creating anything remotely like theirs.
I started my CS degree in 79 and entered the workforce in 82 and at no time did anyone in the UK imply to me it was a shrinking field.

I think this may be a niche view of the US education system, because I was working in UCL-CS in 87 and got no sense it was in contraction there, nor in Australia when I moved here 87-88 and in fact at no time in my personal experience, has CS or SW eng been in decline as a taught subject. Ok maybe 1-2 year windows of reduced entry requirements, but shortages of jobs? Nope.
> The coldest is a bit after dawn.

The building (and deck surface) will continue to radiate heat throughout the night on a clear night, especially with few obstructions like a waterfront building has. That's how crops can frost with airtemp > freezing, and why the guidance is to cover your plants. It's not to insulate them against convection.

Counterintuitively in this scenario, this effect is greatest when the wind is calm.
