All true, but didn't those Buddhist monks who famously self-immolated themselves as a protest during the Vietnam War, do so under a self-induced hypnotic trance, indicating that it's entirely possible to override our pain system?
There definitely ways it could work.

Robinhood's spreads are much larger than many other brokerages because of the deals they make with order flow buyers. Yes, they are still at or better than NBBO, but many brokerages will give you price improvement on crossing orders down to near the midpoint price (unless you are very good at timing the market and already have a great price from crossing).

I did an A/B test of this, and found that RH was actually an outlier in terms of how bad your executions are.

> Not sure why `response to the proposal of the uno "had been almost entirely negative"` according to Wikipedia.

SI already has at least two different unit names for dimensionless 1 (rad and sr), so a third identical unit was probably seen as superfluous.
On a related note, I've been dealing with some process chemistry recently, and I've noticed that a lot of dimensionless quantities that are ratios retain their original units - I've seen many cases of units like e.g. [kg/kg]. Not sure what's the reasoning behind this, but I suppose this prevents mixing up [kg/kg] with [m/m] and other unrelated ratios.
Oh man I totally got hit by that and never did figure out being in rdp was the reason!

> we waste all out vitality and youth making other people rich

If you meant "we waste all our vitality and youth" - that's wrong. A US working week is 40 hours, which is less than one fourth of the 168 real hours in a week, and less than half of its waking hours (assuming 9 hours for sleep).

As for the "making other people rich" part - that's a product of you (and other people) making easy decisions in life, like buying on Amazon, searching on Google, using Windows & Facebook, watching Netflix, owning an Android or Apple phone, buying products based on price instead of doing research (or buying locally), not organizing or joining a union, not contacting your representatives about worrying issues, and so on.

Any power structure (companies and governments) will become overrun by bad actors if those inside of (and under) it don't pay attention to it and stay engaged. Americans seem to have been checked out for the past few decades, and now it's coming back to bite us. Not a surprise.
Same with our washing machine. The brushes for the motors had just worn down all the way; it was $30 for the replacement parts. It's a bit undersized for our family, so it does a LOT of loads, and it was 10 years old. So it's hopefully good for another few years. Once the door seal goes though (it's got a little leak), it'll probably not be worth repairing.
Could someone spell out a use case for this? One that comes to mind would be validating that a mailing list doesn't have any outdated email addresses in it, but couldn't that be determined by just checking for a bounce when a message is sent to it?

I tried to sign up for SiriusXM the other day, and though I could create an account with my .pro email address, I couldn't actually sign up for service with that same address for some reason. It's frustrating that validating email addresses is still something that people get so wrong. Please just take whatever seeming garbage I've entered into your email address field and try to send a message to it.

(Their site also had stupid password generation rules such that I couldn't use the 21-character one my password manager auto-generated, but even after I made one that followed the rules on the page, it was still rejected because there were apparently rules on the back end that weren't spelled out in the front end. Please hire me, SiriusXM.)
I still don't feel great about this. It should be up to the end user to not break the law.

The melamine milk scandal probably has a lot to do with it all.

Monetization has brought out the worst in creators. The folks who did it for the joy are almost always the best to learn from. Alterior motives (including profit) are often a conflict of interest IMO.

Information is meant to be free.

There’s a reason why online content became so popular. Pre-programmed channels are chalk full of garbage, crammed with ads, inflated drama, and other behavior I believe to be a net negative for almost every viewer. Perhaps I’m showing my age and being presumptuous but folks I talk to about this all seem to agree.
There are loopholes.

Well that's a very US specific thing with its current rather 18th century set up. I agree from a parliamentary perspective its horrific.

Its a bit similar to the way the tiny NI parties hold UK governments feet to the fire in return for support they get nice bungs or optouts on human rights laws.
German road fatalities are in the range of lowest 10-15 countries in the world, depending on exactly how you go about measuring it. You’re not impressed because it’s not in the bottom 5 (like the UK)? Are you also unimpressed by Japan narrowly losing to Sweden for the bottom spot?

Thank you for following up.

The first point dosen’t really do anything for me because I did cite California as one of many US states holding a referendum.

The 2nd point is a more interesting debate and it may involve some preference.

For my money, I would much rather be Swiss than Singaporean.

Swiss trains run on time and the infrastructure is plenty good compared to Singapore. You could switch this out for a more free and still very competent state like Taiwan.

Of note: questions of citizenship in Switzerland are decided at the Canton, not the Federal level. Your neighbors are making the decision as to whether they want you to become a citizen. Not some far away bureaucrat.

An argument for your stated preference of more expertise is hinted at in this review in what I think is the book of the year, “The Premonition” by Michael Lewis. They cite a book “10% Less Democracy.” There is some merit to this in the short run—but in the long run, I would rather be Swiss. (And I would be on the side where I would be happy to have the union expect more responsibility from me. For example, I would not be in favor of shortening the time of service.)

Skills Visualized with Cytoscape Network Graph
In my experience, there are three things that visual programming tools make difficult:

* abstraction

* version control

* test automation

Those are also (in my opinion) the three techniques which separate proper "software engineering" from coding/scripting, which is why visual programming tools are pretty much universally unsuited for complicated projects.

The one asterisk I would put on that is tools in which the visualization is based upon an actual, human readable, programming language. I did some work with XSLT back in the day using a visual programming tool, and it worked reasonably well.
Ok, it’s clear where you stand. I’m not here to be negative, only to share with folks interested in the product that they are significantly back logged. Hopefully everyone knows what the means in a Kickstarter context. Their marketing is great, the jury is still out on their actual product.
Sounds plausible, but that doesn't make it true (or false). I'm sorry to say that liberals play games in this space, and I don't particularly trust these neat narratives. The overarching objection I have is that it casts black folks as helpless victims unable to change their own circumstances. I find it very hard to believe that making voting inconvenient, even terribly inconvenient, even to the extent that you describe, is enough to dissuade fully half of all black people to opt-out. And if you're right, I would argue that the black people themselves need to fix it. If I was part of an oppressed minority and there was a legal, peaceful way for me to have even a sliver of a chance of changing my people's circumstances, you'd have to keep me out of the voting booth with a gun in my face. (And yeah, at that point I'd say a real revolution is in order.)

> even irresponsible people will have some savings at retirement age

Ah, there are enough loopholes that a lot of people still won't end up with any savings at retirement age.

There are a lot of self-employed people in the UK, at the low end of pay (gig workers, freelance cleaners, graphic designers, etc) and high end (consultants, IT contractors etc), and bootstrapping entrepreneurs (pay all over the place). The pension 8% doesn't apply to any of them.

But I am still left shaking my head. How did we get to this point? Science is the peak achievement of our civilisation, the pandemic is a clear testament to that.

> The SI unit for dimensionless constants is 602214076000000000000000.

The radian and steradian represent firm rejection of the mole as a general dimensionless unit, despite it being a base unit and arguably (depending on how you feel about particles as a dimension) dimensionless.
Even more interestingly, for relatively cheap, you can spread rumors or seed sentiments into the internet via paid shills, so for small amounts of money you can sow false information and cult-like mentalities around certain stocks, and profit off those. If anything, that counts as anti-information, and makes the market less "efficient", except to those who are using the market variance as a means to extract wealth from retail investors.
Quite. Unit is quite literally the same as Uno if you squint a bit. Both are Latin derived and both mean "one" - more or less. However I will accept that unit is overloaded somewhat and I don't know much about the way that Spaniards use uno in their spare time.

So using a word that means one and then fiddling around with prefixes is either really clever or really daft depending on which side of the bottle of wine you happen to be.

On balance, for me, I'd be grateful if you leave one alone. To me it means a Platonic One which is unobtainium but I'll let you have one anyway! But only the one (no not that one, the other one.)

Stride | Senior Software Engineer, Platform Backend + many other positions | REMOTE (US-only) or San Francisco, CA

At Stride we're working on a benefits suite for what we believe is an underserved community – freelance and gig economy workers. We want to create economic security for anyone who works for themselves. We offer an easy way for 1099 workers to apply for health/dental/vision coverage. We're also expanding to other spaces like tax and financial management, so as to make it financially accessible for anybody who juggles multiple gigs, or is just pursuing a dream on their own.

As a business, we sit on a unique position and have partnerships with a ton of giant companies (think Doordash, Postmates, Instacart, and many more) who want to better serve their workforce. It's rare that a startup has a good mission and a good business, but here we are. We're currently in hyper-growth mode, and have expanded our Engineering team from 12 to 22 people in the last several months. This year we're planning for our revenue to multiply significantly. We are backed with plenty of capital ($38.9M) by world-class VCs like NEA, Venrock, F-Prime, and others.

On the engineering side we use Node, Typescript, Serverless, Terraform, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS Fargate/SQS/Lambda, Python, Scala/Akka and some cool machine learning models you're going to love hearing about. Your work will be mostly greenfield, and you'll get to have a leading voice on the future of our platform's architecture and infrastructure.

Originally headquartered in San Francisco, we now are a remote-first company and nurture remote workers from all over the United States. We offer fantastic benefits (after all, it's our product!) and you'll be surrounded by the most driven, smartest people I know. We have a supportive, productive culture that's respectful of your own personal time and well-being.

I watched an interview with her on YouTube and she had a very argumentative tone when questioned by an audience member, rather than a conversational and educational one. Not surprised to hear from a fellow expert that her theories aren't really supported by evidence. She seemed extremely defensive during the Q&A.

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/qwsft6tmvBA

In fact the audience member I linked to basically accidentally stepped on a landmine which seems to be the main critique you've posted of her work, just by talking about facts that seem evident (that emotions are the result of chemicals flooding the brain)

Yeah that's a fair point; I can see what I wrote can be read that way. What I really should have wrote is that me and my fellow engineers in SV shouldn't be the only ones holding these jobs and earning these salaries. Tech companies are among the most profitable and can afford to hire more and pay those engineers the same wages as they do in SV.
I enjoyed doing that, too. >smile<

In my experience the difference is that it is far more likely to find useful content searching for video vs text. The good text content may be there but it is lost in a mass of SEO crap and people trying to sell you things or make a pinterest account.
