1) Try film festival schedules or lists-of-what-showed from previous years. Not just Sundance and Cannes and such (though lots of the films shown at those are, in fact, good, so don't not look at those)—if you have any special genre or topic interests, there may be some festivals for them, so look up a few big ones and start browsing. Why previous years? Because those films usually aren't widely available the same year they're in festivals, and you'll get the benefit of reviews, if you don't want to just start blindly watching anything that looks interesting.

2) There are niche streaming services that specialize in genres, or in indie + international, films, which are great for finding all kinds of wonderful things you'd never have known about otherwise. mubi.com, for instance, features those sorts of films from all years, including recent ones. Shudder is a streaming service for horror films (horror is downright rich these days—I can provide lots of strong, varied recommendations from the last few years, if you're into that kind of thing). Stuff like that. Really, just look up lists of video streaming services and take a glance at the catalogues of any you've not heard of.
That link is amazing. Maybe my reply is off topic, but Glass is an extraordinary composer and it is always a pleasure to see him referenced saliently like this. Thanks!
I’m pretty sure they won’t let someone change teams, and many of the people on this list aren’t expected (and for some managers, maybe not even allowed) to improve.

You can probably just manually write a buildspec that has a single earthly call:

command:

I've not used CodeBuild though, so I'm not totally sure.

Long term, the idea of generating the config for N possible build systems from Earthly is something we want to explore but we aren't there yet.

Isn't this the part that's not being made transparent to the employee?

Asking the employee to constantly read the manager's mood to guess if you're on the "list" or not is incredibly stressful. What if your manager is just having a bad day?
I've seen green crosses used to signify healing in video games enough times that I wouldn't question it.
It's certainly possible. Thankfully I graduated before Turn-it-in was fully mainstream and before online tests were even a thing AFAIK. Nonetheless, I had one professor decide midway through the semester that our final paper would need to be submitted to Turn-it-in. I had to go to office hours, point out that this requirement was not in the syllabus, and that if it was I would not have taken the course, and finally threaten to go complain to the dean. I was incredibly lucky to make it through school without ever having to submit to this kind of BS, but I rather think it's simply impossible today.
Another factor might be that there are many companies just as bad, but without the prestige of Amazon. At least the Amazon name will pad your resume. The names of many other bad companies won't (or not to the degree of Amazon).

> Would it be ok [...]

As always, it depends, doesn't it? Sure, there are lots of cases where it would be unethical. But I can also see a case where it would be otherwise.

Imagine one joins a company for a cause, believing in a certain important mission they have. Then, at some point, they realize the company is now taking a "wrong" approach (e.g. had a hidden agenda or makes a certain decision you strongly disagree with). Can we really say it would be universally unethical to leave said company over a disagreement and do things the right way instead? Thinking only about ethics and not the legal aspects - they can't work there because they've started to do a wrong thing, and no one shouldn't have to give up on their ideas based on a history of having associated with "wrong" people.

I guess this is another argument against knowledge being considered someone's property.
Interesting observation! I think it's the same with music. I love all kinds of music, from the very weird/experimental to big budget larger than life sounding mainstream productions. Being also a bedroom music producer with limited time, I would love to match these big budget productions, but I don't have the ability to get to that level. So instead of trying to make a weak imitation, it's more fun and rewarding to create something different or weird.
Accept/Ask Me Later is particularly irritating, because it shows such disrespect. It's not the popup, it's the blatant, shameless annoyingness.

I wonder if you could get some positive results by using students as tutors. Imagine if a certain number of hours per week, you paired up students in grade X with students in grade X-1, to have the older students help the younger ones to learn the material they leaned the previous year. This would also help cement that knowledge in the older group. Then you also have time where the students in grade X are tutored by students in grade X+1, through the same process. During this time, the teachers' jobs would be to provide support.
Your pithy analysis seems to entirely discount having passengers in the back seat, or multiple rows of seating like minivans.

At the end of this period, you can either (i) pay the difference, i.e., $2,400, and you own the furniture; (ii) continue the subscription until you've paid the amount back; or (iii) you can sign a new contract and get brand new furniture with no extra cost.

What we say doesn't matter. What the Red Cross says doesn't matter. The Geneva Convention protects certain symbols. That's the end of the debate. The red cross/crescent is owned by the Red Cross and any use by anyone else is completely subject to their permission.

This system was setup for a good reason. Those of us whose lives may one day be protected by that symbol (wounded soldiers) need it to remain above reproach. Every soldier may one day be bleeding on a cot in a field hospital, that symbol on the tent his only protection from instant death. The use of the red cross/crescent/crystal/star is not something that should be up for constitutional debate.

> Qt cannot provide "perfect" ABI compatibility even if they wanted to because of C++

That does not really matter in practice though. I ship a Qt app as AppImage, it works fine from CentOS 7 to the very latest ArchLinux. I just ship libc++ along with it - which is the same that I have to do in Windows anyways.
It's frustrating. I gave up Windows after Windows 7, because Windows 10 had ads. I've switched entirely to Ubuntu Linux. I still have one Windows 7 desktop, and one subnotebook. I suppose I should turn them on to see if they still work.

Even there, Firefox wants me to "log in with my Firefox account" so I can use Pocket or give them my passwords or something. They also made the local bookmarks feature worse some time back, to force the use of Pocket. And Ubuntu keeps updating "snaps" of dubious value.

My phone uses F-Droid and Fennec, and when I got the unlocked phone, I said no to Google and deleted most of their stuff, without ever agreeing to any Google terms. I haven't logged into a "Google account" in years, and the only reason I have one is to update an add-on.

This is a pain. I'm not fanatical about this. I just don't like being pushed around.
> In 1926 Pessoa published, anonymously in a republican newspaper, a bizarre interview he fabricated with a fictitious Italian antifascist who pronounces Mussolini a madman, and then goes on to declare that fascism is only a ruse. The world is ‘directed by special forces’, whose nature he declines to elaborate. The document is a mishmash of genuine antifascist sentiments held by Pessoa and an irrepressibly crankish streak of his own. When the Italian embassy wrote to complain that Angioletti did not exist, Pessoa happily forged another letter as Angioletti maintaining that he did

This is hilarious, not just because it's trolling fascists but because it's completely consistent with Pessoa's belief that fictional characters can be just as "real" as real people. Reminds me of this passage from Book of Disquiet:

> No one, I suppose, genuinely admits the real existence of another person. We may concede that the person is alive and that he thinks and feels as we do, but there will always be an unnamed element of difference, a materialized inequality. There are figures from the past and living images from books that are more real to us than the incarnate indifferences that talk to us over shop counters, or happen to glance at us in the trams, or brush against us in the dead happenstance of the streets. Most people are no more for us than scenery, generally the invisible scenery of a street we know by heart.

> I feel more kinship and intimacy with certain characters described in books and certain images I’ve seen in prints than I feel with many so-called real people, who are of that metaphysical insignificance known as flesh and blood. And ‘flesh and blood’ in fact describes them rather well: they’re like chunks of meat displayed in the window of a butcher’s, dead things bleeding as if they were alive, shanks and cutlets of Destiny.

> I’m not ashamed of feeling this way, as I’ve discovered that’s how everyone feels. What seems to lie behind people’s mutual contempt and indifference, such that they can kill each other like assassins who don’t really feel they’re killing, or like soldiers who don’t think about what they’re doing, is that no one pays heed to the apparently abstruse fact that other people are also living souls.

The shape of the exponential curve makes the time difference between small and big players giving up relatively small (if that difference exists in the first place.) Both have reasonably long time with reasonably low patent tax to develop the commercials before the tax starts really kicking in. The tax with my initial numbers breaks one million USD p.a in 10 years and 10 millions in 14 years.
Mine is super-dumb, but let me walk you though it.

First, you need to a way to generate candidates of varying abilities. There are all sorts of tough questions related to measuring intelligence, but let's side-step those and make something like IQ. By construction, IQ is normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

function generate_candidates(;n=1)
return 100 .+ (15 .* randn(n, 1))
end

With that, make the initial team and find the "bar" for a new hire:

team = generate_candidates(;n=10)
bar = median(team)

To replace a candidate, you just sit in a loop, "interviewing" candidates until one exceeds the bar.

candidates_seen = 1
while (new_candidate = generate_candidates(n=1)[1]) < bar
candidates_seen += 1
end

Once you find that person, you kick someone out of the team and replace them with the new candidate. I did it at random, but eliminating the lowest performer only exaggerates the effect.

team[rand(1:length(team))] = c

Having done that, you need to recalculate the now-raised bar:

bar = median(team)

We repeat this process a small number of times to simulate turn-over within a team. Since it's random, you want to repeat the entire process a number of times too. Complete code: https://gist.github.com/mrkrause/e33c589b901b4b8c96f940ea0a4...

I had a hunch this process would be exponential, and it certainly looks that way if you plot the results. This was meant as a quick-and-dirty way to check that: there are some tricks that might speed up the simulation and it might even be possible to do the whole thing analytically (but it's Friday afternoon).

FWIW, I highly highly recommend this sort of noodling around for building intuitions. At work, we recently spent a year and $$$ collecting some brain data, and a dumb model like this was the key to figuring out what was going on.
As another commenter suggested, let's look at the data from the USPTO and see what the submission/approval ratio looks like for large cap, small cap, and independents before jumping to conclusions...

I have asked that question, and 9 out of 10 said they would prefer California. Bigger market, better employees, better access to materials and cheaper, and better access to international markets.

Also, when I was still at a firm providing tax services to companies large and small (including a number of YC companies), I had more than a dozen clients move to CA from TX, and only one company move from CA to TX. They moved because Texas simply wasn't a viable place to do business unless you're in oil or energy (and the one client that moved there was in energy).

Texas is where companies go when they aren't strong enough to survive real competition.
Yes, I agree completely. It communicates information very cheaply and in-band to very few people who are intimately familiar with the mathematics involved. And nobody else.

Calling this mathematical education makes me doubt your implicit claim of pedagogical ability.

I think a lot of math could be taught with a lot less overhead and in more understandable fashion. It's just that the natural incentives seem to drive people to unnecessary overhead and barriers for those who actually want to learn.

Lot of the language and symbols involved could be streamlined. But like QWERTY keyboard and C++, you would first have to turn this huge hulking ship of legacy cruft into that direction.

> Copyright usually comes into action when the subject matter is fixed into a tangible medium. So merely someone using a pickup line at a bar may not grant copyrights or prevent someone else from using it.

No I mean you can't prevent someone from using a pickup line you write, publish, and copyright. Let's ignore the length requirement here as I feel that's tangential to my point. My point is that you cannot stop the usage of language as a function with copyright. Performances aside.
You are correct, those are some of the advantages of claims-made vs. occurrence policies. Claims-made policies started because the industry went through a crisis in the 60's and 70's.

>Buying a policy to file a claim for an event that already happened is called fraud, and while it does happen, it's generally pretty easy for insurers to detect and prevent.

Detection has underwriting costs associated with it. Investigating whether you knowingly purchased an insurance policy with an incoming claim is not something that is automated. By default a claims made policy will prevent the issue in the first place by resetting what is known as the retroactive date. This causes the lapse in coverage the OP was referring to.

There are specialty insurers who will allow you to explain extenuating circumstances, and/or set retroactive dates prior to the effective date of the first claims-made policy. You obviously pay for the additional risk this poses to the insurer though.
