It works out pretty well I've been told. But there are plenty of dead ends in Federal service, where people are underutilized and undervalued, but last it out for their pension. Some jobs just don't exist in commercial settings, and it can be really hard to re-adjust to new work.
In California a $100k salary results in the take home pay of a little more than $5k/month. So saving ~$30k/year is roughly equivalent to saving half of your take home pay of a $100k salary in California.

That's pretty good. Please keep in mind that other people do things such as support a family or go on dates. They have expenses and may live in costly cities. Even on a salary of $200k a year that's decent.
Jeroen was wondering specifically about "updates needing to go through a consent popup". That exact thing is being changed, as per the article, and in exactly the way Jeroen suggested by adding a permission.

None of your questions seem to have to do with that, and you're just soapboxing on all kinds of totally unrelated perceived wrongs.
This is self destructive, as it makes their content look paltry when you view it through a VPN. I just unsubscribed from Netflix yesterday because I was like "none of the movies on my watchlist are on Netflix". Now I wonder if that was actually because I was looking through a VPN.

The most insidious part is that they don't tell you that you have reduced content, they just silently remove content if you use a VPN.

As an example: I can watch "The Game" (1997) from California, USA if I don't use a VPN. If I connect with Express VPN (through San Francisco) the title is not available. That is dumb.
In that case it wouldn’t likely lead to affordable/scalable space travel.

> already well-established negative effects of high CO2 or VOC concentrations on us

I don't know about this. Research is mixed and the US military has tested supposed mental impairment at higher levels of CO2 in sailors inside submarines and found nothing suggesting CO2 levels can effect noticeable cognitive performance.
Buying things with cash and not credit works against you unless interest rates are very high. Let’s say you have $200,000 and could buy a house with it. Alternately, you could finance the house at 4% and put the $200,000 in an index fund that makes 8% per year. In the end, you’ll end up with far more money if you take the second option.

Credit is a tool for creating financial leverage and realizing larger gains, if you know how to use it. The problem is that most people use it to buy things they just can’t afford in the first place.
"And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent.

The trick is to buy investment grade stuff. That’s probably not possible with say tvs but we’ll used cars (Taco, 4Runner, land cruiser, certain Jeep’s) can be a decent investment in that depreciation may only be equivalent to how much you use it offset by increase of value . Same is true for many tools or high quality used items. If you buy correctly you can see almost no deepreciation over your ownership.

Even consoles can be an investment in this odd time, due to shortage I sold my Switch for 100 more than I bought it used. Video games can be flipped at almost no loss if done within the first 2 weeks etc.
I believe the OP is referring to "local stack" i.e. being able to run a single command e.g. `make up` (if you're using makefiles) to spawn a local environment and run a "local" version of the site i.e. serving on localhost.

Having such scripts enables one to quickly setup a local environment to make changes and test them before submitting a Pull Request.
The lesson from the past year: Poverty is a policy choice

You have to remember the movie business has been dragged kicking and screaming into progressively larger and larger buckets of money since forever. VCRs? They'll kill the movie industry. DVDs? Same. Blueray, even worse since quality is so good no one will ever buy a movie again. Streaming services? Last one out of Hollywood please turn out the lights. Blah, blah, blah. The then head of the MPAA Jack Valenti literally compared the VCR to a serial killer named the Boston Strangler.

"'I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman home alone.' Jack Valenti said this in 1982 in testimony to the House of Representatives on why the VCR should be illegal. He also called the VCR an "avalanche" and a "tidal wave", and said it would make the film industry "bleed and bleed and hemorrhage"

As quoted on slashdot: https://news.slashdot.org/story/02/05/31/1622232/valentis-bo...

> Aren't the ballots all counted by hand and then cross checked with the machines anyways?

I believe some states completely hand recounted the entire millions of receipts from the machines this year (in response to the allegations of voter fraud). However, it shouldn't be necessary to exhaustively recount the entire race. We should be able to use random sampling to statistically verify that the race is not fixed.
WhatsApp was unencrypted in its early days, sure. As you said, 2009 was a different time. I'll admit that 2012 was significantly later than I expected, and FWIW that does reduce my trust in WhatsApp (who I've never been the biggest fan of in any case).

But I think my original point still stands, because at no point has Telegram been a more secure alternative to mainstream messenger options (such as WhatsApp), despite their marketing and branding being security/privacy-oriented and their "breakout moment" being a targeted, hypocritical call-out of WhatsApp security. Yes, I'm holding them to a higher standard than WhatsApp. But I think that's completely fair given that security and privacy is Telegram's supposed selling point, whereas WhatsApp never positioned itself as anything more than a way to send messages to each other.

If Telegram had come first then I could understand why people would keep using it. But I don't get why anyone would switch to it (except for the owned-by-Facebook thing I guess, which sure, is much more of a question about what your threat model is).
Do such vector-search databases have a sizable market, say > 10B? It looks only a few big players would need such technology: search engines, security companies, LexisNexis (maybe). But for most of companies, their dataset is small enough that an in-memory library like faiss may well just do the work. And if such database becomes so useful, I'd imagine that software like Solr or ES can simply replace their current implementation of ANN search with a better version.
Much of this is not about JavaScript itself but is really about using JavaScript in a web browser context.

>Requiring proof of immunization, no less, which requires an ID to receive

I don't think this is true? The mass vaccination center that I went to didn't ask for any form of ID at all.

>You need a proof of immunization, but you don't need an ID to vote. (though in reality, the immunization requirement would likely be illegal given we don't require proof of any other immunization prior to voting.)

I'm confused, no one is proposing proof of immunization for voting.
I'll say having been in a neighboring industry that this sounds quite odd and only really relevant to SoCs, which is good since I don't want any more surface/vulnerabilities in the many HW/FW support components like we've seen with branch-prediction and caching. I suppose SMART for HD is somewhat similar to this, but it's not hidden and is completely customer focused.

The only other consumer useful things I can think of here would be over-temp and over-volt memory for failure debugging, and maybe parity or ECC failures. Those should either be available as registers at boot or through some external serial bus. That's what I've seen for high volume testing to improve yields. You don't want to be running an OS with a 7-14 second takt time for component testing.

From their description you still have to get the data out somehow. Most of it can't survive a power-cycle or it needs flash to be stored in the "database" they describe, but then it's in memory you can see from the processor and unless it's encrypted could be reverse engineered. I don't see there being backdoors to radios or ethernet (OK I can see router companies doing this).

It really doesn't sound like something to run while you're in production rather than test. It adds power, possibly latency, and even designing it in make closure and testing more complex. Kinda crazy not to make that modal.
My experience is more on the the navigation side. Wouldn't running an RTK GNSS receiver further improve accuracy and jitter?

There's reasonably priced RTK hardware out there now like SwiftNav. Another option is Ublox modules with open source RTKLIB.
This is a thread about people selling a program that might be considered cheating, so I'd say that this is the only case that is relevant.
Because voter ids were used in the past for discriminatory reasons. Requiring vaccines to not wear a mask in a store is a huge false equivalency and typical of right wing rhetoric.
Are you sure you don't just feel that way because you consider death an inevitability? I agree completely that fixing death from old age would fundamentally change people's worldviews and would indeed change what it means to be human. But that doesn't mean it's not a cause worth devoting effort to.
Such a good story for the history books of humanity’s first attempts at digital currency. It turns out we probably don’t have secure enough code logic or low enough clean power requirements to do crypto this century, but maybe next…
I found et which works better than mosh in some respects. It supports scrolling, and seems faster to respond.
This hits me. I went to college with Kim Suozzi, referenced in the article.
mosh is basically a proof of concept as a college project - it is missing Unicode and ssh-agent forwarding which may be significant for some.

Otherwise it works decently well for what it does. For many screen and normal ssh will do the job.
I usually go on Reddit to hear myself type about programming and politics. Now you people get to hear it
>Empathy is a learned skill, one that we don't teach.

one that we don't teach, anymore. maybe i'll go along with that, but it was definitely taught when i was a kid. "how would that make you feel if they did that to you?" was a very common chastisement growing up. not just from my mom, but from teachers in elementary school as well. then of course being drug to church by my mom, there was always people spouting "remember the golden rule". which when it comes down to it, is the only thing i really "took" from church. i treat people how i would like to be treated myself.

so, if none of that basic stuff is being taught nowadays, i weep for humanity ;-)

btw, we all fail, we just have to strive to do better!?!
I had to present proof of who I was when I received my shot. My immunization card has my name corresponding to my ID.

>"I'm confused, no one is proposing proof of immunization for voting."

My point is that on the one hand requiring an immunization card which requires an ID is okay, but requiring an ID for voting is not okay. Proof of immunization is being required for more and more things which potentially would disenfranchise lots of people.

People are having their private and public sector jobs jeopardized when they hesitate to immunize. At present, though not historically, the most hesitant are the highly educated class...
How resistant is this to a GPS attack? It has an atomic clock, so it should be producing good data for days while sending alarms in the event the GPS data is bogus. You don't want to create a situation where someone aims a small dish at the roof of your data center and takes down the networking.
Death isn't a problem to solve...it's just the end of what we know and the start of everything we don't.

To be fair, the United States is also one of the only countries with birth right citizenship.
I used to go there for business. It is a city with rare combination of the eastern and the western values. Hong Kong culture affected me in ways I cannot describe in words. I took photographs on film that I sometimes browse to remind me of those days.

This is a sentiment that is very typical among Singaporeans. I suspect it has something to do with the political/business climate over there.

While the USA is also litigation happy, it actually takes an incredibly high amount of deliberate destruction for an employer to succeed in suing an employee.
A forward-thinking government would be incentivising a diverse economy, subsidised by the windfall from the currently profitable industries.

Instead, the incumbant governments just subsidise the inumbant industries; or rather, the existing "winners". (E.g. subsidising Murdoch media, mining companies, all pulling in millions/billions in profit.)

Australia has one of the lowest rankings in terms of economic complexity [see #1]. Until the government can subsidise emerging markets, there's no reason for businesses to take risks - the low population can't support it.

Propping up existing industries will eventually be a failing strategy. When Australia's "luck" (exploitable resources) runs out, "what comes after will not be so comfortable". But there's still time to steer away from that discomfort. (Unlike the imminent ecology collapse...)

I'm curious, do you use any kind of terminal windowing, or what do you do about dividing up screen space / multitasking on your phone? This is one thing I really like on my laptop--multitasking with the side-by-side advantage, by keeping various windows visible at once, and using virtual workspaces with hotkeys assigned. Anyway, cool to read your endorsement.
> so we can die on our own terms instead of being forced to do so by a cruel reality

Step one would be to allow euthanasia. Until we allow that, we cannot pretend that anyone is ever going to be allowed to die on their own terms.

"Precisely - "whataboutism" is a word used by people who want to impose standards on others that they themselves refuse to abide by. That word is invoked the minute someone points out that they do exactly that which they want to condemn others for doing:

Put another way, the word "whataboutism" is the shield which hypocrites use against anyone who points out that they themselves do that which they pretend to oppose.

The word is intended to render hypocrisy irrelevant and inquiries about consistently inherently illegitimate."

Part of the problem is that the standard to say something is "good" can vary wildly, and often does end up becoming quite low. See inflation of grades, video game reviews, Yelp ratings, etc. If I see a 3 star restaurant I'm highly skeptical of it, even though 3 stars should be considered perfectly acceptable by intended definition.

On Google performance reviews scores could range from 1 to 5, with 2 being "meets expectations". A 2/5 sounds pretty bad, but the description sounds like the person is doing their job fine and is not an impostor. So what does it actually mean? But that depends from manager to manager anyway. IME many of them end up inflating and "exceeds expectations" loses meaning.

Point being, I think you need a lot more context to determine what "good job" actually means. If feedback is sufficiently detailed you can make a pretty good estimate right off the bat, but unfortunately people are bad at giving feedback in general. So especially when new to a team and you don't have any priors for how they use language, it makes sense to have some doubts.

I'm sure this can become pathological, but is the unhealthy version actually as prevalent as all the talk about impostor syndrome?
Under the old system your retirement pay was 2.5% per year served. So 37.5% instead of the 50% you would get at 20 years. Last I know of early retirement happening was after the Gulf War in the mid 90s when everything was downsizing. Wouldn't be surprised if it was happening now too though.
