You really should be. Quite a few of the larger companies have been caught conspiring to manipulate wages and workplace mobility for their own gain, in ways that not only hurt every work seeking person in the affected area, but where also flat out illegal.

Then lets not ignore the fact that most countries had to make laws specifically to protect working parents. There are most likely entire warehouses filled with court cases over a business owner realizing that statistically hiring a non married replacement for the recently married employee will be better.

They wont do it out of racism, they wont do it out of religious fervor. However they will do whatever they can to make more money.

I don't grasp essential the difference between everettian and RQM.

I'm both cases different observers observe different results.

IIUC the "worlds" on the many worlds interpretation is just a convenient way to talk about the relationship between an observer and the possible states it can observe after the system and the observer have been entangled. The emergence of a world branch is not something that happens at some specific moment in time. This is also why branching can be viewed as happening at superluminal speeds, because it's not a physical phenomenon, just a shortcut for us to use to discard states that are no longer accessible to us.

Whether that makes the many worlds interpretation more useful or less useful, it's a matter of context. However I have the impression that most people who oppose the view (e.g. citing how much more baggage it requires etc) fundamentally come from the mental trap of thinking that a conscious observer had a unique stream of consciousness and that anything that deviates from it would be inconceivable because "we don't experience it"
> - Voters should show proof of citizenship when voting.

You'll get no disagreement on this from any liberal. In fact the disagreement lies not in proving citizenship but in the methods to do so. If you have to show proof to register then why do you need to show proof to vote? In fact, if you have ID that proves you are a valid voter then registration shouldn't be necessary at all.

Republicans not only want you to show citizenship. They want you to show it 2, 3, 4 times in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of The Leopard“.

> If I sell junk in my house for a profit there is no IRS record nor is there a government record for selling Bitcoin for cash or a million other possible transactions.

Yes, but most people do very few of the possible transactions that don't create records, at least so as to incur income tax liability. Requiring supplemental filing only where actually necessary would vastly reduce the burden on most taxpayers, and sending a baseline bill with notice of the need and conditions for supplemental filing would be a viable alternative to the current system.

"The French can't drive a car. They can't keep it up. They ruin vehicles."

The French, on the whole, certainly do not drive as well, keep a car up as well, or protect their vehicles as well as we do. Neither do women, compared to men.

We have had more mechanical training, more technical experience. And at the present time we have incomparably better maintenance facilities.

I do not recommend using driver assistance features you do not feel comfortable and confident in supervising. I appreciate the data point regardless. I have not experienced these issues out West or the Southwest US.
Recent OMSCS graduate here, and I was already working as a software engineer. I learned a lot, I'm very happy with the experience, the price is totally reasonable (around $7k) and it's a kind of education which suits and is oriented to adults. I totally recommend the program.

But, I totally understand the issue with a $50k Master's.
This has nothing to do with the IRS sending automated bills. It's not like they would have not pursued you if you'd chosen not to report the fraudulent 1099. This is an entirely separate problem.
I mean, people still prefer to not have to interact with the tax authorities, so maybe heaven is a bit of an overstatement. And I have no personal experience with the US system. But yeah, I sure wouldn't want to switch. :)
It is as good as any sensible hypothesis: it allows us to focus on a more promising direction of research.
In the US, those gaps are usually noted and you fill them with upper division courses and if necessary, lower division. Actual graduate courses are quite different from undergraduate even covering the same subject matter.

Lower division is problem sets.
Upper division is problem sets + project.
Graduate is project + research paper.
we put a dishrack with GPUs ziptied to it in our colo and they let it go for several months, then decided it was "a fire hazard" - probably the power usage was the issue more than anything else, if you have a cage/rack(s), what's the difference?
I did my MFA in poetry in the US. Tuition and living expenses were completely covered by fellowships and a TA position. I think this is the norm. While expensive on paper, no one really pays that. Most programs are not predatory like those described in article.
Yeah, sounds like I would fall under 'moderate drinker', when I only have about 3-4 drinks per month, and sometimes less than that (I went about eight months last year without drinking any alcohol at all, for example).
You know how you just got all defensive and insulted about a generalization made about America? That's how the Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Iraqis etc. feel when you make generalizations about them.

The recent US leadership hasn't done a very good job of representing "American Values". You can expect anti-American sentiment from this.

It may not be justified when referring to individuals, but neither is the xenophobic response to any of the countries listed above.

Fight the governments, not the people.
It’s certainly interesting. My initial reaction is that “lifetime abstainers” is still a sufficiently distinct group from the continuum of moderate to heavy drinkers so there might be other confounders. I wonder if a study like that exists? I personally know only a handful of people who never drink, and it’s either for religious reasons or, in one case, the person just likes to put themselves at odds with society in various ways, including never drinking.

You were excited by the sugar rush now you're excited by greed.

The 'along as it's legal' bit is a slight red flag, because it's also out of self interest, you could say 'as long as it's moral' that would be nicer.

Both those things ate not so-so bad but both a bit low on the scale of personal development.

To start, about getting excited over doing something useful to others? And then taking a slice out of the pie that you made?

Some people make bread, some people keep the peace, some people clean homes - what's your contribution?

If you do something well enough, you'll get paid well and often the rewards are better, but the commitment required usually goes up as well.

In that case, you'll probably nudge the world forward a bit.

There are a ton of legal ways to make money that are extractive - i.e. they don't really help anyone, they just waste everyone's time or consume resources and end up being destructive.

Often those who just care about making money may end up in the later camp.

Also if you're just interested purely in the money it's likely you'll run out of steam early because it's not a very complete motivator.

And of course, why on earth would people want to help you if your goal is purely selfish and likely extractive?

It's like saying "How do I get rich and famous and take all the acclaim with no talent? Can you help me with that?"

Making the world a better place is not about 'New Innovation' or 'Shiny Tech' 99% of the time it's just doing basic word and grinding. Even the newer tech stuff is still mostly work and grinding.

Finally, all of the above is a completely separate question from whether you want to start your own company or not, which is a giant step. If you want to 'make money' you may just want to be a good software developer, or depending on your age go to Med School and you might just be making enough money to make you quite happy. There are a number of professions in which you can make quite decent money.
No, a modern main battle tank would still be vulnerable to arty, a leg with a grenade, poor crew decisions, etc. depending on a favorable setup (no adversary air or arty, able keep distance from dismounts) it would dominate for a couple hours and then laws of logistics take over.
Basically all modern programming control flow paradigms are about finding all the safe patterns of goto and setjmp.

Everyone agrees about loops, try catch for goto err; is near ubiquitous, defer and context managers are popular for goto cleanup;, throw is setjmp up the stack, coroutines are setjmp for multitasking.
The article also says he was making Hero, which is a masterpiece IMO.
The movie depicted an entirely different technological dystopia. Intellectual property was the least of their worries.
There's something fundamentally flawed about trusting people to determine truths themselves as well. Doubly so when those spreading misinformation are well funded propagandists that have been attacking education for years. China, Russia, Germany, Italy, Cuba... these and other nations became communist/authoritarian with the ardent support of the people of those nations (enough people anyway). Tens of millions died as a result. People die today as a result. People are oppressed as a result.
I never said it was. It's potentially good way of getting a well paid job though.
The relevant differences between those two products are:

(a) Google is actually less uniquely powerful or threatening when it comes to the hosting segment

(b) Google has an even greater claim to moral and legal rights to say "yeah, we're gonna decide not to carry/disseminate certain content,", except to the extent that your position here involves the idea that compelled speech is the way forward.
I have been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for several years now. It is achingly hard as a sport earlier on. But for the most serious practitioners it becomes an expression of art. The movement of the human body in a lethal dance. The full expression of that art is something I aim for in the back of my head. Early on it was about the sport, exercise, etc. you realize the hard work is just the means required to expressing the art and that becomes primary for me. Not everyone views BJJ in this way, of course, but I do.

The Race to the Moon: Why Crypto Projects Have to Modernize Their Blockchains
I did a hybrid masters in CS - half the year was taught and half the year was research. Of the 6 classes I was taught 2 of them were undergrad level (and they were 3rd/final year level at that), and the rest were definitely a level above undergrad. Most were actively learning about the state of the art in their areas, or very close to it. Of the 15 or so students, 5 of us had our names on papers from the research we did for the second period. My experience may be atypical, but I definitely believe there is a range available, and it's unfortunately up to a student to try to discern the two.
It's not difficult to accept that consciousness could be an emergent property, but it doesn't provide any insight.

How do we get the abstraction layer of coherent thoughts from just a collection of neurons? We have no idea.

Sure your explanation makes sense. But it's a bit like explaining the creation process of black holes with the words "they're an emergent property of gravity". It doesn't tell us anything, and if we want to understand it deeply we can't be satisfied with such a simple non-answer.
> Most languages considered memory safe have some sort virtual machine model where non trivial programs can be written without any use of unsafe.

With the obvious exception of JS in the browser, I don’t believe this is true: Python, Ruby, Java, C# all have widely used unsafe native escape hatches that are regularly found in dependency trees. All you have to do is misuse these interfaces, which is significantly easier than in Rust.
What history have you been reading?
I’ve been in your shoes.

To me, it was disheartening to hear realtors making more money and I was working more hours.

I shifted to following the money backwards. What did people who were making money need done to automate niche parts of their job. I didn’t need to make a billion dollar business. I just have to make $400k a year to be in the top 1% of the USA.

I’m not yet at the top 1% and the realtors can still make more but if this year goes well I’ll be there.

Example: Law firms need to do discovery in litigation and often tend to hire third party firms to do the technology work collecting data. It’s called e-discovery. There are tons of little rabbit holes in that space I found to look at. Amongst other things.
Most of the people I know with PhD's did them because they wsnted to do a PhD, not because it would increase their earning potential.
No, it's competition for C and c++. Lots of programmers don't know C.
1. You don't need a masters to apply to a doctorate program. 2. You're not making that much more than someone with a bachelors and 2/3 additional years of experience.

I managed two people with a masters degree at a previous position and they weren't any better then the person I hired with a high school diploma. In fact I'd say the death metal guy with the HS diploma ran circles around them.

Doesn't seem like a sound investment from my very limited perspective.

You can just mount the switch (or cover) the other direction so the cover stays up while the switch is off but is lowered and guarding while it’s on.

Doesnt matter what you pick in an ever changing unpredictable world overflowing with software. All that matters is how many hours you put in and how close you are to areas where there is a high density of software development going on.
None really, although it'd be more like a 500mL beer if it's full strength beer (~4.8%). I don't think I know anyone who would consider a single pint to be "heavy drinking".
Or if functional programming ain’t your thang, then use Cappuccino[1] to gain the reusability and scalability for large browser projects that JavaScript often lacks, complete with an awesome UI and Foundation framework.

Honestly, if you’ve written iOS or macOS code in ObjC, then ObjJ is trivial to start working with, and it really is the same paradigm (ObjC is a superset of C, ObjJ is a superset of JavaScript)

Except that the web app has not evolved naturally, i.e. by itself, from the machine instructions, like many emergent phenomena have.
> This is one of those areas where Congress has purposefully injected friction into the system specifically so that businesses can seek rents.

Its sticky because that's not the only purposes; GOP politicians who want to campaign against taxes to push serial tax cuts weighted to the rich as the solution to every problem also want to preserve the current filing system as a source of leverage because it makes the perceived burden of taxes higher, though some of them (e.g., flat taxers) are willing to trade it off in exchange for a permanent massive downward redistribution of tax burden.
Far from everything is being rewritten in Rust. It definitely shows up on HN quite a bit, along with other places. But I think that’s just growing traction.

It seems to have a bright future, but for the time being isn’t established enough to be worth learning for sake of industry relevance.

If you simply like Rust, go ahead and invest time into learning it. There are companies looking for developers.

It’s just not “the standard” at the time being.

Looks like times have changed.
Because the relationship with China is more complicated than that. You can see it in the NIH funding research at the Wuhan virology lab or all the made in China goods that the US consumes.

It makes sense for the military to recognize the other forces that pose the biggest threat. But regarding declarations by politicians, it appears to me that internal politics in both countries are driving politicians to make such statements. As in, both American and Chinese leadership see advantage in creating an external enemy. Naturally, as China's power rises, the relationship changes texture, but how much of our attitude change is recognition of the changed situation versus a change in attitude induced by the political class?
Being 'passionate and curious' have nothing to do necessarily with 'making the world a better place'.

If anything it's kind of a personal issue.

Surely most scientific discovery comes along with passion and curiosity, so there's some overlap there, but most work doesn't get done out of either of those things. Most of the things that move the ball forward are a grind.
The Netherlands have been passing various restrictions on mortgage interest reductions over the past few years. Many are phased in over 30 years.

With the current interest rates it's an ideal time to pass any tax changes anyway - they won't hit new mortgages nearly as hard as 10 years ago, and the housing prices can use some downward pressure anyway.
I'm sorry about your horror story, but if the bill they sent were wrong, ideally you could just file as you do now.

The idea that these megaphone institutions can and must act as arbiters of what's "ok" speech and what's not is socially untenable.

The best marker of sweeping political radicalism is when no one is allowed to be neutral anymore--not even news outlets or public forums. When everything is political and everyone is forced out of political neutrality, we're in big trouble as a society.

"If you're not for us, you're against us" is an ominous statement in any context, and when that becomes a mainstream political cry, it signals that freedom itself is coming to an end (not to mention freedom of speech).

To be clear, I agree with your original post that some type of mediation between the poles would be helpful.

Reflecting a bit more, it's hard to imagine that a government could convince it's people to go to war without a large degree of brainwashing to demonize the foe. To some degree, we need our soldiers to believe that they people they kill are deserving of death, even though the they were most likely brainwashed and drafted into the conflict on false pretenses. In a symbolic way, this happened in the US in 2020, but this time, private industry and the government entered symbiosis in polarizing citizens into a civil conflict. And people were killed.

We owe it to ourselves to peel back a couple of layers of the onion, and understand and respect other well supported beliefs, even if those beliefs differ from our own.
This is probably THE most common piece of feedback I give when people write up directions on how to do things.

“You said ‘if I need to do X then here are the steps’ but how would I decide if I need to do X?”

Or

“It says check if X is Y but it doesn’t say how to check”

The way I always explain it is that if your steps are asking me to make a decision then they had better explain the decision making process/inputs as well.
