I have experienced a different version of this.

I worked a lot on my studies, mostly in studying faster and a fair bit in obtaining high grades and studying wide/broad and studying deep (I studied for 8 years). Some things I have done were claimed to be impossible feats. I have taught others how to do it, how to think about learning, even one article was written about me.

But the resulting job search was so brutal that I flipped to the other end. For 18 months, I couldn’t find a job and I applied to a very broad bunch of positions and companies taking 4 hours on average to write a motivation letter and tailor my cv. The result? No response. No company cared what skills I have gained during my studies. They see courses like hardware security as non-practical and a course on multithreading as mostly theoretical. They couldn’t care less that a part of what I learned there are transferable skills.

When I learned that hard work isn’t proportional to career advancement, that’s where I decided to do whatever I feel like. I have too little control over it anyway.

This is a European perspective. I doubt that things would’ve gone this badly if I was American. My way of thinking seems to fit better there (though I could be wrong).
From Wikipedia:

> Pugh and her husband John live on their farm in a mountain valley at Turiwhate, near Kumara. The house's former copper piping acted as a conductor for electrical storms, and Pugh has been struck by lightning twice.

> This means that a 1500kg car is forced to pack an additional 540kg to be able to store energy.

I think this is the wrong angle to look at the issue.

A 2100kg EV requires 25% of its total mass to support the energy storage, generation and transfer in order to provide a range and performance profile people are generally happy with.

What is the fraction for a new ICE vehicle with similar profile? The combustion engine weighs... how much? Then add the weight of a 60% full fuel tank to allow for roughly the average deadweight haul between refills. Then include the weight of the exhaust system.

And finally, we have to include the weight of the drivetrain. How much of the total weight in an ICE is dedicated to power transfer from engine to wheels? How much in a modern EV?

Energy storage and generation is only a part of the picture, getting it to the wheels is what makes a car actually perform its function. We should include these numbers to get a meaningful comparison.

The standard way of finding this out is to ask them to pay at least something towards developing the feature. If they're genuinely interested but genuinely need this feature, this is reasonable and they'll be agreeable. If they're not actually interested, then this doesn't make any sense for them and they'll refuse.

> I'm not sure how compatible getting enough sleep is with a 48 hour hard limit.

It's perfectly compatible I think. The difference between 8 hours of sleep or 16 hours over two days is 1/6 of the whole jam, but the difference in productivity will be much less, or even better with more sleep.
Why would I consider it 'good' to take pride in my work? So I can make another dollar for the shareholders of the company? So I can bring forward the destruction of the natural world by another millisecond? Even if you hunger for physical possessions, which I don't personally, why would that incentivise you when your level performance makes no difference?

Are you so much a slave that you have to search for meaning in the nobility of work? Work does not offer us purpose because there is no purpose in the operation of institutions in the modern world. Where the driving philosophical principle of an enterprise is "make as much money as possible", who among us can wring out a meaning that satisfies us spiritually?

Where even our charities are corrupted by the guiding principle of more money more good - from where is the conscious worker to draw their meaning?

We exist in an age of spiritual and moral vacuum and there is no guiding principle at this time that a non idiot can align themselves with while retaining some semblance of internal consistency.

How is Elon Musk working magic? A big part of it, apart from not being just another idiot with an MBA, is that he is giving people an actual purpose they can get behind. A purpose that is not just something slung over a money making machine in a vague attempt to align the workers. No, a real bottom up purpose that drives the enterprise. With that kind of purpose a team can move a mountain.

You have to ask yourself... If you are not trying to save the world from cooking itself, or trying to end poverty or trying to cure cancer, or trying to ensure the existence of humanity into the far future, what the bleep are you working for? Answer: You're working for the thoughtless vacuous industrial machine that is devouring both our souls and our physical world.

You should be depressed because this sh* is depressing. You should be angry because this sh* should make you angry. These emotions are deep intuitive reactions, they are drivers for change, hear them and move to change the way you work.

I for one really like the new design. It makes a lot more sense than having tabs separately, the only three complaints I have are

- There’s no vertical/tree style option

- There’s an ever so slight delay opening the address bar sometimes (seen in the highlighting animation which itself is quirky)

- The reload button is hard to find

Maybe a bonus, but I have yet to find out what anything in the sidebar is good for.
I really don't know. However organic meat is usually cheaper or at least same price here than in Austria or Germany.

The cheapest variants may are expensive comparingly, quality however isn't.
I had this exact idea some time ago, I'm happy someone made it :-) Inadvertently it highlights the fee problem of Ethereum, but I'm sure someone will pay for it. I was about to enter a haiku from Roland Barthes' "Préparation du roman":

It's not much of a billboard either.

A billboard is something that tons of people can't help but notice.

This requires installing a bunch of software, identifying peers on the Ethererum mainnet, asking them for their idea of the latest block, determining the most-worked-branch, validating its entire history, looking up a particular contract, determining its state at that block, extracting some text from it, and then somehow displaying it, for one person to see.
At least that would be the somewhat trustless and decentralized way to do it.
Switzerland couldn't use 2/3 of their land without cow farming. However I too heard that they may would be a good alternative in regions they belong to.
<captainobvious to the annoyance!>

Maybe it would be more clear to state that there are areas of Navajo lands with very few trees.

We drove through Navajo land twice in the last week, and there were several trees.

Since a pine tree can weigh like 5,000 lbs, a ton of trees is only like 1/2 of a pine tree.

So, Navajo land literally has tons of trees...

> The new and alarming surge of deaths this summer means that the coronavirus pandemic has become the deadliest in American history, overtaking the toll from the influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919, which killed about 675,000 people.

Typically you calculate deaths at the percentage of the population if you are seriously trying to make a point. It's not like the population of 100 years ago was remotely the same as now. High journalism again, NYT.
The NFT solves exactly this. There cannot be infinitely many copies of an NFT. The fact that there can be infinitely many other, different NFTs is irrelevant.
>What matters is incremental ROAS - not the conversions following exposure, but rather the conversions that would not have happened but for the exposure. [...] there's no untouched part of the market that's never seen a Coke ad against which you can do an A/B test.

Sophisticated advertisers like Coca-Cola are aware of the concept about incremental ROAS. They can't do the exact A/B test scenario of isolated consumers you're talking about but decades ago, they did do A/B tests in different tv markets where one city had more ads than another and the city with more ads had higher sales. (What the industry jargon calls "lift" from advertising exposure.)

So even brands that are already very well-known by most of the public still constantly do A/B tests to measure incremental conversions in all media including digital, magazines, sports sponsorships, etc. Back in the late 1990s, many advertisers noticed that running banner ads on Yahoo didn't work which contributed to their stock price crashing. Recently, a lot of advertisers (e.g. Proctor & Gamble) quit spending ad dollars on 2nd and 3rd-tier ad exchanges because their A/B measurements showed they were a waste of money. (The "1st-tier" ad exchange examples would be Google & Facebook.)
Agreed with most of your post. Though I'd say a little proactive is still better than bare minimum, but I prefer to keep it private and work on that proactive 'things' at my own pace, no outside pressure.

Sometimes you want to work on something that you see it can be useful for you in the foreseeable future, voluntarily, without anyone asking(and you don't have to tell anyone) Said work occasionally benefit you, or even save your ass along the line sometimes.

but too much of it do you no good, that's for sure. And don't announce it to the world because it'll bring you all miserable things. :p
Yes, I do.

And this is not limited to Open Source.

I use a lot of open source stuff in my work and life.

When I see something that really adds value to my life, I donate to it.

The process is like this:

1. Use a product for long enough (months to years).

2. I see that the product makes my life easier and/or makes some activity really enjoyable- it adds value to my life, in general.

3. They are not assholes. They don't shove ads down your throat or ask for donation five times a day, or block really essential features behind a paywall.

If these three criteria are met, I donate money to them, although never automatically recurrent payment. Only one-time donations, sometimes repeatedly.

This way, I have donated to or bought paid versions of-

1. Linux Mint

2. Blender

3. Ebookdroid (android reader app)

4. Lithium (Epub reader app)

5. Qbittorrent

6. Infinity (privacy-focused reddit client that lets you download videos)

And many others.

The market is filled with "Juniors with X yrs experience". Even 10, 20 yrs experience. No kidding.

A lot of newer developers are more accustomed to copy-pasting React stuff from SO. Which is fine, but it doesn't solve all problems.

That's how you end up with people that only know how to deploy stuff using Docker containers (which, again, is fine for most situations).

Visbility of both them and the alternatives (and perhaps the people and uses). Compare that to say bunker fuel in the cargo ships. We don't see the ships, we don't understand the fuel, I would struggle to name an alternative propulsion better than something in early research like those spinning 'sails'.
,,WARNING: If you try to use the Lightning Network (LN) you are at HIGH RISK of losing funds and it is not recommended or safe to do at this time or for the foreseeable future.''

I did the exact same thing some years ago with 3 ads. The top one reached above 1 ETH :)

Good luck!
The point is that the same markup source produces different output endpoints depending on the device and capabilities available. Straight ASCII text, possibly with ANSI sequences, for a terminal. Fully typeset output for a raster display or printer.

> People wont "feel" it's change.

Oh, but 'people' feel its change. You feel it.

But it is all secondary, or even further away. Coffee is more expensive. Gas (CNG) prices is already costing many households more in these summer months. Gasoline prices are at record hights. Water is increasing in price. Electricity prices are at record heights (which, is increasing my IT infrastructure bills). In many regions we cannot get certain potatoes doe to crops failing. And so on.

You see the effects, when you look for em. In your wallet. On your table. In your bottom lines and revenues.

So, aside from the opportunities we may see, there are effects having impact on average peoples live this very moment

Maybe the author misread 5 micrometer in some source as 5 millimeter, and then added "about the thickness of a two Euro coin." to cement their confusion.
Afaik, the main sources of microplastics we consume are from normal car tire usage, and from clothes with nylon fibers going through washing machines.

This means that the issue has been with us for at least a couple generations by now so one may conclude that if there were dire effects, we would have seen them by now.

Perhaps similar to the cellphones causing cancer debate, we inadvertently placed ourselves in a world wide lab experiment without giving it enough thought beforhand. But the upside is we can gather a lot of data now...

Congratulations, you've proved that someone somewhere has written a book that argues for open borders.

If an engineer negligently (note: not knowingly) signs off on a bridge that collapses, they face fines, expulsion from their profession and jail time. At this point, every developer at Facebook should know the harm they’re causing. The most they face is job loss. That’s the problematic asymmetry.

The article serve as a set of statements that the comment section then can analyse and pick apart. You learn way more from reading that analysis than the article itself, which often contains many bad or factually wrong statements since people mostly write articles about topics they just learned and not topics they are experts on.

I predicted Coinbase would enter a vicious cycle in which the work culture increasingly promotes ass-covering and discourages conscientiousness.

Sometimes people who don't work for, or work with, a company with bad ethics never know better. Other times things get out of hand (like at Enron, Uber, Theranos, etc) and everyone finds out.

It's too early to alter my prediction about Coinbase. A company can thrive for a long time with a gross work environment like that.

If you take it a step further, ask why do we need to use reconciliation and a single megabill, the problem becomes the Senate.

The Senate already gives heavy weight to less populated conservative states. add the filibuster rule - which a simple majority can get rid of - and it just amplifies the power of white, conservative men who vote to get re-elected or build for a presidential run. They're voting for what appeals to something like less than 40% of the population.

We're talking about giving DREAMers a path to citizenship which is supported by over 75% of voters...

I think people really care. It isn't their top issue but it has very broad support.

it does look like there is some movement on a standalone bill with at least a couple Republicans supporting it. But I wouldn't hold my breath though. [1]

As the original comment shows, one side views it as a 'power grab' to 'dilute' voting power... That's a pretty narrow view and to me reads a small shade of likely racial bias.

And back to state elections of Senators, that rhetoric is what wins votes for many of these Rs and that's what drives their decision making. Money too. But that's used to win votes.

One hears the same argument against universal vote-by-mail and other anti-suppression measures. A 'vote grab'.. yeah that's the point we should encourage more people to vote!
