we've had foreign job candidates with masters degrees in CS from top 50 schools who couldn't pass a simple programming test or who couldn't answer some basic CS questions on O(n) or whatnot.

Because he might be one of those people where life didn’t hand him shit. In other words, he fought against competition at every step of the game, so he seriously considers the nature of competition and the implications.

It’s like a rich person that grew up poor, they are constantly saving money. Of course they don’t really have to at this point, but that was their experience. All Jet Li might know is competition (just off the top of my head, he is under the shadow of Bruce Lee, similar to Jackie Chan, and the whole Hong Kong scene is second to America).

He respects his experience.

You're simply misrepresenting what the actual statement with a truth value is in these cases. The fact that events happening close to each other temporally from fast-moving inertial frames can't be given a canonical temporal ordering doesn't undermine the existence of truth. A happens before B in the inertial reference frame of one observer and B happens before A in the inertial reference frame of a different observer are both true statements, and the converse of each is a false statement. The insight of special relativity is that there exists no God's eye reference frame independent of inertial reference frames. Nothing moves against some eternal static backdrop serving as a coordinate anchor. Things only move with respect to other moving things. That is in and of itself also a true statement, and the converse is false. Non-contradiction still holds everywhere. That you need further details and context to determine the truth of a statement doesn't mean it has no defined truth value.

Well, it's obviously time to stop (playing). Better fight your problems in real world.
It's not really something as prominent as the other things they offer.
Most people will find a certain level of satisfaction in a job if it's well done. I don't think there are many people who perform reasonably at their job while not being satisfied with a job well done.
I honestly think Google is pretty open to any sort of discussion at work (including political), the cases where it boils over are just the extremes (or very contentious, see Damore) outcrops of allowing this in the first place.

There are a few industries I'd consider as targets for economics. Management consulting and litigation consulting are top in those.
I've heard stories about Turkish soldiers deployed as peacekeepers after the Iran-Iraq War. They weren't permitted to fire their rifles at all so they hunted deer at night with jeeps.
Consulting straight out of school is a really tough sell. Consultants are most often considered valuable by their employers because of their experience in a given industry.

I would not want to try to pitch myself as a consultant as a foreigner with little to no American work experience. If you’re doing it yourself, sales will be a challenge.

That's a very romantic view of society, but a graduate on poetry will most likely spend the rest of her days writing copy for a marketing agency, selling burgers, or cleaning latrines. And that's ignoring the fact that you really don't need to study "poetry" for four years to be able to write poems.
That makes it sound like Ph.D. graduates are a homogenuous bunch. That's nonsense. Somebody with a Ph.D. degree is just that -- a person with a certain degree certifying a certain competence. Apart from that, it does not say anything. Not what background the person has, how they think, what they like. It's part of a Ph.D. degree to aquire knowledge and skills alone. "Self-taught" if you will.

The distinction you make does not exist in that sense. The only actual difference is that the "extra" 3 Ph.D. graduates have had a certification for a somewhat structured education in some research field, while the youtoube fans don't. So, everything else equal, that group has an advantage.

Practicing martial arts leads to much more than being able to perform cool moves. I practice tai chi and I can tell you that my teacher do things you can hardly believe without moving his body much. Using a combination of breathing, accurate movements, he can push you meters away. Really cool. Takes at least dozens of years of intensive training to reach that level. He compares that to training playing piano for international level competitions (such as Concours Reine Elizabeth).
I don't see those things as incompatible at all.

"giving the other side a fair chance to make its point" (from very next sentence) doesn't mean they can't blow that chance by being obnoxious, unfair, offensive, or plain wrong. I don't think the OP argues that this "duty to listen" extends forever, that you have to keep listening after you have determined that "the other side" is being an asshole.

The way it works in the UK is there's £1000 of untaxed self-employed income.

So you only need to bother with a "self-assessment" tax return if you earn over £1000 of casual income.

And then, if you have less than £1000 of expenses related to that income, you don't have to justify the deductions so you just enter the income as a number and you're done.

Charitable contributions are claimed by the charity at the basic taxpayer rate. So when you donate £1 they can claim 20p from the government.

You only need to itemise your charitable contributions (to claim back the difference between the 40p of tax you paid and 20p the charity got) if you are a higher rate taxpayer, which is something like £70k per year gross, so you're well into <5% of people here.
It's probably the same. Some CS people like to work on side projects. So do a lot of plumbers by renovating their homes or tinkering with other stuff in their spare time.

Web hosts don't generally need to make outbound connections, but in any case, companies will be allowed to register specific domains / IP addresses with a government regulator, on the condition that they don't support E2E encryption (and, depending on the contents of the site/service, they may have to hand over a copy of their TLS private key, and not use forward secrecy).

Also, of course there will be government-allowed Linux versions, which implement Secure Boot and have a package manager that only installs approved apps. Admittedly, I'm not sure if this theoretical government would stop people writing their own software, but they could demand that OSes only allow "approved" apps to send packets over the internet. This would also prevent people developing "piracy" apps.

Different folks are indeed different in some ways.
The connotations of the term race has changed. It was definitely common in the fairly recent past (WWI) for English people to speak of Germans as a different race, indeed using the term more like we would use ethnicity today. See also the English division of India into martial and non-martial "races".

You are implying a use of the term which is more influenced by biology and some vague, folksy notion of genetic/darwinian relation, often focused on skin color etc. I understand your distinction. but it is, almost by definition, more modern.
Dimon kills me with his recent comments that “people don't like commuting, but so what”. It’s so nakedly hostile to employees and dismissive of alternate ways of being successful. It’s certainly enough for me to never consider working for JPMorgan.

Despite the power of banks in today’s society, it’s not a foregone conclusion that banks will maintain their power with the rise of central bank digital currencies. Dimon experienced one anecdotal business loss by not visiting in person. Point taken. But if he maintains this immature attitude he’ll miss out on a lot more.

You are absolutely right and that definitely makes sense. But, and I have to preface this has been my experience, there are virtually no accommodations. School is your job when you go back to a university and colleges believe that is what you should be doing.

Now to the legalities. The Age Discrimination Act mandates any institution receiving federal funding from preventing someone from being able to participate[0]. So like a physical disability, if you only make stairs because "99% of people can walk" but cannot accommodate for someone in a wheelchair, you would be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Same thing with making a website accessible to the blind. By making your courses only available during business hours, you essentially are telling working adults "we are preventing you from participating in mandatory courses because you cannot be at work during the class." Work, mind you, that will pay their bills, support their family, and keep them out of absurd debt bondage upon graduation.

When you make class at 8AM for 1.5 hours, Monday-Wednesday-Friday, you are discriminating against working adults. It doesn't matter if the discrimination is intentional. Your very allowance of not offering a course wholly online without a mandatory attended lecture or just a night class is pure evidence that you do not want non-traditional students. How can an college believe that someone who works full time can make that work? Night classes are at least an accommodation and can work.

What I've found is technical colleges, since they're catered toward people going back to school, they do a much better job all around. Also since they are city funded and not a state run university through tax payers, they can hire real employees. So when I ask an administrative question that is very important, I don't get "uh I'm not sure, let me ask a staff member since I'm only a student employee! Can you hold for 10 minutes?"

As someone who has invested heavily in C++, and really likes the how modern C++ has evolved, I actually have a hard time imagining myself ever starting a new project in C++ again. It's not that I can't write very reliable code in modern C++, because I have and still do. It's just that the amount of effort involved in doing so is high compared to something like Rust. A lot of the cognitive load is shifted to the compiler. I've worked in so many existing C++ code bases where I had to spend my time tracking down bug after bug because the people that wrote it weren't very skilled at C++. Rust has its problems too (dependency tree bloat, slow compile times, steep learning curve, immaturity...), but one thing it does is makes all programmers much less likely to write bugs that aren't simply logic errors. And in a team, that's a HUGE win.
The USSR and Germany concluded a non-aggression-pact in 1939 with a secret amendment to divide Poland and the Baltic states between themselves. This late became known as the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (or Hitler-Stalin-Pact, or Nazi-Soviet-Pact). With the Sowjet occupation of Bukovina in 1940 and definitely the German attack on the USSR ("Operation Barbarossa") in 1941, the pact was defunct.

In December of 1941, after Pearl Harbour, the US entered the war, and then you had the main combatants in place:

The allies with the USSR (Stalin), USA (Roosevelt), British Empire (Churchill), France (de Gaulle), Republic of China (Chiang Kai-Shek), against

The axis with Germany (Hitler), Italy (Mussolini), and Japan (Hirohito).

If you have any network connectivity or are physically together the repo could be shared. So as long as one person has it cloned you should be fine. It’s the same as making sure people have a printed copy. Depending on the run book, it may not need to be perfectly up to date, but you’re right that it may be challenging for team members to remember to update it. One thing that can help is putting run books in a primary docs repo. Then users are making changes and updating the repository more actively. In turn they would likely get updates to the run book just by writing and updating other docs.
Right, this is a bit clickbaity so I was skeptical at first, but it's a Scott Manley video, and it's pretty interesting to watch, with a few comments on the tools used, and simulation visualizations.
OT: I knew that the Edsger Dijkstra's letter "Go To Statement Considered Harmful" popularized the phrase in CS circles.

> [But I didn't know that] the original title of the letter, as submitted to CACM, was "A Case Against the Goto Statement", but CACM editor Niklaus Wirth changed the title to "Go To Statement Considered Harmful". Regarding this new title, Donald Knuth quipped that "Dr. Goto cheerfully complained that he was always being eliminated."

> [Dr. Goto is referring to] Eiichi Goto (後藤英一, Gotō Eiichi, January 26, 1931 – June 12, 2005) was a Japanese computer scientist, the builder of one of the first general-purpose computers in Japan.

I've been to therapy and always haven't had a lot of successful results. Mostly since I didn't have the clinical versions of what they normally treat, so it be long-drawn-out deep conversations that felt like the fix leaving the office... Then I got home and the perspective was basically gone.

Dr.K has been such a breath of fresh air and been so real about how some people could use coaching vs a therapy. Where you do have an issue, but it isn't clearly on the DSM-5 approach or drastic enough to approach it as such.

Following his content has helped me understand my ADHD and anxiety so well that I feel like I'm in control for the first time. Where his explanations though through corny gamer analogies have me the most happy and productive I've ever been.

Where Dr. K's ''solutions'' are just usually more work you have to do and how to learn it on your own effectively, it's not a quick fix or some philosophy. The solutions are basically: this is how your brain most likely works, here's how to plan around it in broad strokes, do your best to be consistent to that plan, and let neural plasticity will do the rest of the work for you.

That's kind of a weird claim, because other than direct economic and military aid and pro-/anti-government military intervention from superpowers and trade and defense agreements with them, BoP didn't surface any potential drivers of GDP, nor GDP itself, nor any effects of GDP other than stability and geopolitical alignment of the government.

Whatever was going on underneath, BoP was much more of a geopolitical than economic simulation in what was exposed to the player.

How will the government know how much you have spent on gas without you telling them?

Furthermore, my taxes take me less than 1 hour per year. I prefer the current system where I tell them what I think I owe.

If they told me what I owed, and I disagreed, what recourse would I have? I guarantee it would take more than an hour.
Really interesting project, thank you for sharing! Looking at the documentation [0], it would appear that negative feedback for an item can only be given by giving feedback that the user has read the item, and not then providing positive feedback. Is that the case? Or is there a way to provide explicitly negative feedback that I'm not seeing?

> Well you don't know me. I usually leave off a few deductions just in case I get audited. That way the IRS will end up owing me money after the audit.

So you’re saying that you give the government a donation every year just in case you get audited so you might get it back that year? This does not seem like a financial win.

Again, I’m not saying that the IRS are perfect — only that it’s not wise to base your opinion on anecdotes. This is both a political issue and one where a lot of people have an incentive to blame the government for catching them, while everyone else has little reason to say they haven’t had problems. It’s like learning about feminism at a bar favorited by middle-aged divorced guys.

Except when they're not. For example, when something about a specific retro computing feat is posted, people will just ramble about something very faintly related that they saw or did or purchased or dreamed about recently. E.g. topic is about an Amiga accelerator card, and there will be someone mentioning how they recently cleaned up the Amiga 500 they had in the garage -- like, who cares? Exactly like the comment we're discussing now: nobody cares except the author of that comment. Yet I never see those downvoted, and I know if I responded to them pointing out that this isn't their blog, I'd get downvoted.

I just looked at the front page, this is literally the first discussion I clicked on before even getting to search for "retro" or "Amiga" as I would have otherwise:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27864139

What is the content here? "For some reason I thought something else"... okay? Yet that isn't greyed out, it is the top comment. Why? Because of "Karnaugh map"? There are no replies because it offers nothing to discuss except more such ramblings about what someone might have encountered or lazily assumed (or pretends they have assumed so they can casually drop that they know a thing).
I'm a cofounder of https://clerk.dev and we've found we need to keep a close eye on this ever-evolving world of browser security models.

I think what OP has glazed over a little bit, is that authentication is a massive, thorny exception to their advice of "adopt the Same Origin Policy instead."

Consider these authentication use cases:

- Sharing sessions across mail.google.com and drive.google.com

- Sharing sessions across google.com and youtube.com

- An okta.com generating a session on google.com

- Persisting a youtube.com session even when youtube.com is in an iframe on example.com

All of these scenarios are reasonable, but it's a huge challenge to support all of them in a privacy- and security-conscious way.

That being said, I generally agree with the advice of "adopt the Same Origin Policy instead" after authentication is solved.
If you're looking at the dismantling of human rights I think the left and right are equally culpable.
For me, it's writing. Exactly as you described painting. Slowly some ideas are forming, but it will be years if ever before I get to it.
