Everything is "quantum state". You do a database fetch and in the time that the result travels over the wire to the FE another node could have made a mutation.

The nice thing is that adapters to sql engines often have exactly the sort of protections you want baked in, e.g. "check to make sure the updated at timestamps match before committing an update"

Correct, I misinterpreted. Found a paper on the CDC website. Antibody tests exist and can identify 85-90% of prior asymptomatic or mild covid infection after 8 months, but there is no $5 antibody kit yet. I know, small sample size, this is the best I can do.

> We analyzed data from 7 participants with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and 51 patients with mildly symptomatic COVID-19 (Table 1). Eight months after their infections, we detected anti-N pan-Ig in 53 (91.4%), anti-N IgG in 15 (25.9%), anti-S IgG in 50 (86.2%), and anti-S1 IgG in 40 (69.0%) (p<0.01) (Table 2).

Translation: We could spare you the trouble of getting a vaccine by performing an antibody test, but these tests are labor intensive and we are swamped. We'll just pretend these tests don't exist, assert that taking the vaccine is good for you in all circumstances and mandate you take the vaccine anyways.

Edit. It should be mentioned that EU permits the use of prior covid infection evidence for their covid passport initiative, though does not permit antibody tests for the purpose.

> The EU COVID Vaccination Passport will be issued to all those who have been fully vaccinated against the Coronavirus, with one of the four vaccines approved by the European Medicine Agency

> Travellers who have recently been infected with COVID-19, and recovered from it, should also be permitted to travel with an EU COVID travel certificate

> However, the Commission also points out that tests that detect if a person developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 – also known as antibodies tests – cannot be used to obtain a recovery certificate.

Interesting, I'd say 80% of the 'easy' level questions are very relevant to understanding data structures one encounters on a day to day basis (maps, trees, lists, arrays) and basic ability to manipulate those with loops or recursion. I think those are very good interview questions.

I'd also say 90% of medium and hard questions are exactly what you said, relying on a relatively obscure algorithm.
Active Bitcoin/Etherium Scam on YouTube Using SpaceX Inspiration4 Mission
There's a Bitcoin/Etherium "giveaway" scam happening on Youtube right now using SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission as a hook.

Scammer "live" streams: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spacex%27s+all-civilian+inspiration4

Rules: "To participate you just need to send from 0,1 BTC to 100 BTC to the contribution address and we will immediately send you back 0,3 BTC to 300 BTC (x3) to the address you sent it from. "

It’s actually a counterexample—the 1958 coup overthrew the democratically elected government.

Then Charles De Gaulle came out of retirement and promised to write a new constitution, and since he was widely respected by both the military and the general public, everything settled down. Of course, this technique only works if you have Charles De Gaulle.

I don't want to question wether Apple's work on battery management is better than Google's, but want to outline the meta of such statements. In general, I don't think it's good to compare a new bought device with the device you are replacing, since the old device is probably a couple of years old. So the specs of the old one must be worse than the specs of the new one.
Another example would be Tesla buyers who are replacing their old car and comparing the new car to their old.

I'm not sure what your point is. Should we stop discussing problems we see in society? Will the problem go away, then?

Of course I can't (and wouldn't) force people at gunpoint to log our of their social media. Nobody is suggesting that.

The article ("ledger") attempts to make an argument for a societal change. How would one start changing society, if one is not allowed to start gathering arguments/evidence in favor of the change one wants to see?

"People be people", sure; if there wasn't a trillion-dollar industry profiting from people being hooked on social media and applying every trick at their disposal to keep people hooked, then you would have a point. No, it's not in people's nature to be hooked on scrolling Instagram. It's an entirely artificial problem that we have created together.
I'm quite confused at your response. Why are you so proud to give a company all your time, including nights and weekends, and for no additional costs?

Then when asked to take PTO you asked for money instead of holiday, despite working nights and weekends?

I am reading correctly that this makes deliberately unsound optimizations? For example it seems to assume that `console.log` or `print` will never change, and there's no deopt check?

For decades I have lived deep in the heart of some of the densest cities in the country (SF and NYC). These are places with serious and obvious crime problems that I have seen up close and personal, day in and day out. Yet to me, despite these experiences, the entire concept of "personal security needs" involving firearms is absolutely absurd. It sounds like a Monty Python sketch. Silly to the point of absurdity.

But, I don't deny that tens of millions of Americans do genuinely think that owning a firearm is a legitimate security precaution. Even though they mostly live in vastly, vastly safer zip codes.

My love of computing began with my Spectrum.

I was bought a ZX Spectrum +3 when I was 10, the one with a floppy drive. My parents were persuaded by the salesman that floppy drives were the future and that it was worth paying more for the +3 rather than the +2 with it's tape drive. Correct, but hardly any games were available on disk which left me a bit miffed at the time.

I never see "state secrets" invoked without thinking that corruption is probably involved, and sunlight is the best disinfectant.

State secrets have always been problematic. Take the very first case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Reynolds#Subs.... As was later discovered, the biggest secret was how much the government didn't want to be embarrassed.

But, common law is common law. If the privilege is invoked, courts get bound by precedent. Regardless of what the personal opinions of the judge may be.

I suppose "Design Sprint" aligns better with the Agile spirit.
The US set a date for Philippine independence in 1915 (IIRC); it was originally sometime in 1942-44; it was delayed by WWII.

I strongly recommend Earl "Pete" Ellis' article "The Bush Wars" which basically details the US Marine's counterinsurgency strategy in the Philippines; it's very similar to modern COIN doctrine, I'm told.

The article can be found in 21st Century Ellis, which also has his "Advanced Base Operations in Micronesia"---the Marine's part of the plan for WWII in the Pacific.

The biggest difference I noticed in upgrading from a 2011-vintage desktop to a 2020 desktop is that npm and all the JS-heavy compiling and bundling operations were much faster. That's got to be almost entirely CPU-based, because I kept the same SSDs and graphics card when I built the new machine.

If it weren't for Gulp and WebPack, I could have kept using that old machine, even for my moderate gaming purposes, until it wore out.
There is obviously debate, but Michael Lind argued that Jeffersonianism lost to Hamiltonianism, or the idea of a strong central government. It has been effective, America is a superpower. But it has also shaped the way Americans see themselves and the role (or threat) of government in their lives.

Personally, I think the inability for America to move beyond a 2 party system hampers it far more.
They sure do.

Out of self-interest, where would one check to (eventually) find this write-up? Sounds like OP hadn't known just how long OT takes to update on Android, which makes me assume other information out there may be out of date, or someone else's best case scenario (as opposed to real-world usage).

It _can_ still be better. Or it can be worse, as in the OP's situation.

Yeah I think in terms of battery health you don't want to be doing that either, starting the day full and having it discharge all day until its mostly tapped by the end. I had a 2020 intel macbook and while it wasnt the 24 hours the m1s get, apple claimed it was good for 12 hours so I decided it would be fine to use for my 8 hour workday without a charger.

After a year and like 230 battery cycles of doing that, the battery was down 15% capacity and I was reaching for the charger by the end of the day. I feel like if I had just kept it plugged in instead of discharging it so much each day, I wouldn't have lost so much capacity in so little time.
Freedom of Association is not some fucking luxury that only spoiled AmeriDumb brats feel entitled to. It's a basic human right, and no government, anywhere, should ever violate the people's to it, as you advocate so naively, and that applies even if it's Joe Biden and the Holy Church of the Democratic Party that is endorsing it. That something so basic to a free world has become associated with being a Republican, and ridiculed, is tragic.

For what it's worth: the following thoughts aren't amazingly well thought out, but for the sake of discussion. This is what I think.

I find it interesting to read about your perspective, I haven't seen such a strong one in a while. And it forces me to think about interesting things.

> are thieves

Being a thief is not always as bad as you're implying here. First and foremost, there are many cases where I'd see your point and agree.

But IMO it isn't that simple. While on vacation, I've met many people in Cuba that couldn't make ends meet and would starve for a week. They'd also be thieves if they'd still food. But if a government treats you that poorly, I see it as a necessity.

American soldiers that killed German soldiers between 1940 to 1945 were also murderers in the eyes of Germany. And while I am not happy that anyone got killed during that war. I am happy with the consequence it brought (my great grandparents their freedom).

Now let's go to a more nuanced point. Many people in The Netherlands could barely make ends meet, because they could barely pay rent + bills and not save a penny. Then corona hit. They got utterly fucked. The people that you'd describe as a thief didn't get as much fucked (not that I know any thief so I'm using my imagination here).

When a system fails you, move away. When you can't, mayhem ensues. When enough mayhem ensues by too many people then it might go down as a revolution in the history books and be the de facto winning story on how things should always have been.

Or people are simply criminals, rounded up, shamed and put in jail. In nuanced cases they also get therapy.

When it comes to these things I see 2 sides of a story that are in direct opposition with each other. IMO, you have a very strong opinion that one side of that story is true and the other should burn in hell. I disagree with that as the perspective is necessary to understand all sorts of things.
Part of the problem is that California doesn't let companies have use it or lose it policies. Companies need to pay out unused at the end of the year.

And employees don't like accrual cap policies (i.e. stop earning after you hit some figure) that don't let them bank some amount over their annual accrual.
VC was supported by China. Taliban is supported by Pakistan and Russia. They don't have "small arms", they have the backing of major powers.
They get to continue suppressing current and future employees.

Here's a perfect illustration: You know that recent article that came out about Google not paying their temp employees fairly? Well were you aware of that problem before that article came out? If not, apparently full time Google employees weren't either and are now organizing to fix that.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/sep/15/google-un...

It's win-win for employees to go public.

I've spent two years building a new social network idea that I wanted to use myself, and now that I'm finally feeling good about the site's development, I realize that the _real_ challenge begins - marketing. It's kind of daunting and I'm frequently thinking how I'd like to find a cofounder with business/marketing experience.
Right so those with the privilege of deciding who the good guys are and what constitutes misinformation are current political parties and financial interests. Which is great, because governments have never been responsible for orchestrating their own attacks and campaigns of misinformation. I'm so glad we can trust Facebook to have our best interest at heart.

Metered pricing makes it hard to get approval to buy at many organizations. Simple metering (per user) is doable because the purchase department can pretty easily count heads. Complex metering, where you need someone with a deep understanding of the use the product, someone good at spreadsheet modeling, and somebody in purchasing all to sit down and agree together to buy your product? Ouch. You better be a FAANG-sized cloud provider or something like that, it’s going to be a grind.
A friend of our family recently bought a gun and that made me ask them why. Their response was of course personal safety at which point I asked them some more questions and turns out they keep the gun in a gun safe and bullets in another location so as to not cause any accidents as they have kids. But this practice seemed utterly useless if their home was being actively being robbed/attacked since they wont have the time to go fetch bullets/gun and most likely they ll end getting their weapon robbed as well.

They also don't carry it everywhere they go so its mostly a trophy in a safe.
>>> Furthermore, i find US fascination with their theoretical ability to fight their government with small arms adorable and misguided.

>> So did our Deep State as they lost a twenty year fight against the Taliban. Who immediately started seizing the people's guns upon capturing Kabul.

> Blaming the Afghanistan War on the "Deep State" is a very odd choice to me. Does the Deep State ratify authorizations for the use of military force and approve military spending budgets?

You missed the point, which was the kind of thinking that says armed civilians stand no chance against a modern military also says the US should have prevailed in Afghanistan.

I believe "deep state" here is a tendentious term that refers to the permanent, unelected parts of the executive branch. Their expert analysis said the US was just about to "turn the corner" for 20 years. It's not about the decision to go in the first place.

The ICU: A Look Inside Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center's IC (YouTube)
Unlimited PTO appears to be a bone of contention here. The simple fact is that "unlimited" PTO is never unlimited in practice, and there's the all-important caveat of "subject to management approval" even with unlimited PTO. Unlimited PTO is simply a way for the company to get away with no money paid out to you at separation from the company. In that sense, it really is a scam that can entrap the unwary and the naive.

The other fact of life is that HR is there to protect the company, not the individual employee, when there is a problem. The priority for HR is to eliminate, reduce or limit company exposure to liability from noncompliance with employment law. A secondary objective is to be the eyes and ears of the company (via exit interviews, complaints from disgruntled employees, etc.). As with any job function, HR can also fail at this task (the Susan Rigetti case at Uber), sometimes in spectacular ways. If you are in an adversarial situation with the company, be very careful about HR and document every single dealing with them. Seek independent legal counsel, and walk away from a bad employment situation before you even need to seek out such support.
