I agree generally, but I think the reason executives lean on seniority is because they have no confidence in their own team to make a good technical hire, or spending a lot time/money/effort on the hiring process isn't a priority. They assume if someone has had a job for a few years, that they can't be that bad. Nobody ever got fired for hiring a former FAANG employee.

They started adding tests after this approach failed, and they're making the same mistake in a different way. Having the motivation to grind leetcode is not the same as having the motivation to finish a software project. You'll end up with a lot of people who really want the money, and will suffer any number of hoops, but in the end they really hate the work.

The degree of irregularity is still striking to me, since you can't have "o Portugal" (even though Portugal is grammatically masculine -- "Portugal é lindo", not "Portugal é linda") but you must have "o Brasil", maybe except for headlines but ordinarily even in headlines. Presumably all native Portuguese speakers are more or less equally familiar with the grammatical gender of both Brazil and Portugal.

To state that children will be put at risk by the vaccines is not "fear porn," it is clearly the case.

The 55 years old/70 year old thing could have some legitimacy, kinda. Banks like to be seen as being very old, implying stability. There is a popular regional bank where I live that was established in the 1970s. But this bank says that it is more than 150 years old. Why? It turns out that it bought out a bank that was founded around 1860. Since that bank is now part of them, they reason, they have a history that goes back that far. Sketchy if you ask me, but apparently legal. (?) If Deltec bought an older bank, then maybe they are using the same justification.

A very simple explanation is that too many Americans were too selfish and insouciant and simply refused to wear masks, social distance, quarantine, submit to contact tracing, or really, do any of the things epidemiologists recommended to contain and mitigate the pandemic. This also covers your point "US work habits lean workaholic", which is more correctly put as "US companies don't offer paid sick leave and economic conditions for many in the US require them to go to work even when sick". Even a very poor country that did better about mitigation would fare better than the US under those circumstances.
Combined with the demographic changes, Texas is sure to go blue. However, the blue party doesn't really seem to be a homogeneous philosophy. Same with the red party. Maybe we'll finally see a challenge from a credible third party that will take the center and leave the fringes for the red and blue.
>Not everything is a conspiracy.

It has nothing to do with it being a conspiracy and everything to do with an opportunity to take a cheap jab at the US for doing it wrong (as if literally every country ever doesn't shoehorn hard to justify niceties into more palatable to fund projects).

That you must choose between public oversight of Facebook’s choices and your personal privacy.

And actually XMonad itself is less than that. Running `scc xmonad/src` shows 1800 lines of code (excludes blanks and comments). Including the Hashell binding to X11, developed by XMonad's team, that is ~760 lines of code, means the entire project is above 2000, which is still close. Indeed impressive.
Google maps says downtown Austin to Giga Texas is 17 miles, 24 minutes. I don't know what traffic is like in Austin but I imagine it's not nearly as bad as the bay area. I think a 25-30 min commute is pretty reasonable and most people would happily take that for much cheaper housing.

The big difference is that in Austin you have the option to commute a bit for much cheaper housing. But in the bay area you could be commuting over an hour each way and the houses will still be over $1 million.
There's so-called "nuclear breakout time" for how quickly a non-nuclear nation could create nuclear weapons.[1]

Time for a similar "slaughterbot breakout time."[2] However unlike with nuclear weapons, this is something a small team or even individual could soon achieve and then hold as a deterrent or use for sociopolitical aims.[3]

It's easy to imagine an arms race between drones and the tiny point defense turrets (likely lasers, maybe kinetics or even EMPs) trying to disable them, both systems operating far faster than humans can react. In a strange way, wars fought like this may involve less loss of life, with soldiers surrendering to a cloud of slaughterbots that destroyed the automated defenses in seconds.

This forthcoming ability to intimidate and harm precisely, anonymously, robotically, and at scale makes autocracy more likely and more durable.

My hypothesis is that most people doing knowledge work already work 4 days/week, if not less. Call it "the shadow hours".

It's not possible or practical for managers to monitor how much their reports spend time thinking. Also, most managers understand how much secondary work takes up people's time and gets in the way of the primary work. I.e. Managers aren't really in a position to question how much time it takes someone to complete their work.

Shifting to a 4 day work week is simply codifying a practice that has been routine for some time now.

The question wasn't how hard they worked, but how must value they created. As a trivial example, digging a ditch and then filling back in has work X and value 0, wheras digging the same ditch and then digging slightly further to connect it to a river and provide convenient water for irrigation has work X/2(+1) and value 1 (in some arbitrary units). Forbe's list is populated by people whose work ultimately consists primarily of creating problems for others to solve.

I can not know for sure, but I doubt that this worry is on their mind. By the time these machines are reliable enough to do prime factorization, we would have had plenty of opportunities to move to "post quantum" public cryptography schemes that are as resilient to quantum attacks as they are to classical (cloudflare and google chrome have already implemented experimental HTTPS variants that are resilient). I doubt that Shor's algorithm would ever be a "killer app", because only a small fraction of encryption algorithms are susceptible to such an attack (it is not too far fetched to say that it is just a historical happenstance that our standard public encryption schemes happen to be susceptible).

Mosquitos use different mechanisms depending on the distance to their target.

At a distance, its CO2 (30 feet away). Closer in, its the sweat. Even closer to target, its body heat.

The CO2 itself doesn't need to be warm or sweaty. Just when the mosquito is close to a target, it switches from the general vicinity (CO2) approach to one that will give it a better lock on.

But they'll also vote to protect their investments, being the significant amounts they have tied up in Bay Area housing. And if the campus workers, nurses and teachers have to drive 4 hours a day to get to work, so be it.

I mean, I haven't lived in Austin in a decade, and I know the east side neighborhoods are becoming more desireable, but my point is that it's an isolated area. You've got 71 and MLK as your only access to central Austin, so you're extremely limited in commuting. Any further development will quickly make the current Austin traffic paradigm problematic for anyone who isn't living on the east side. 130 does make pfugerville and south austin accessible though, but it's a toll road.
I really don’t think this is true. Being granted the stock is a taxable event, even if you don’t liquidate any of it, and even if that means you have to sell some to pay the taxes.

Also, the methodology you’ve described for avoiding taxes is used to benefit from offshore holdings, not avoid paying taxes on locally held assets.

That's a state sales tax of 6.25%. Austin and Dallas are at a minimum of 8.25%, for example. Though if you're in a specialized planning district, you can be looking at sales taxes of 10%+.

Cities have their own sales tax. And so can school districts (and they can have their own property taxes, too).

And sure, you're right, there's not much housing under $1M in the Bay Area. That doesn't change the fact that a $1M home in TX still pays about the same in property taxes as a $2M home in SF. Or the fact that in SF your property taxes are essentially frozen at purchase price, and in TX they will increase every year.

Unfortunately, the learning curve was pretty brutal, and I don't think I would have made it over without using Nix for development (without NixOS) first on both my projects and at work.
> If this bill passes as written he would actually be forced to divest assets out of his Roth IRA and then pay taxes on them now.

He would be forced to sell his current assets in the IRA, yes—but what prevents him from rolling over the proceeds into another asset? As long as all the funds remain in a Roth IRA until retirement age there shouldn't be any taxes due to the reinvestment, now or later.

Or are you implying that he would choose to take the tax hit of losing the Roth status rather than sell the assets?

>Regulators are largely looking at facts on the ground before making decisions.

My point is that the "facts on the ground" are extremely noisy and in large part coming from the pharmaceutical companies themselves. This proof is overstated, ignoring the fact that there hasn't been enough time to detect mid-long term effects, its own can of worms.

All of this doubly so given the chilling effect of the stigma associated with what has seemingly been decided to be "misinformation". Clinicians, researchers, nurses are less willing to stick their necks out to criticize the research/data, and so the problem is dangerously self-reinforcing.

These are the same circles that gave us the opioid crisis. And suddenly we've all forgotten about regulatory capture? None of these criticisms deserve this rabid bullying. This is supposed to be science, not religious dogma.

Edit: and let's not forget that these pharmaceutical companies are legally not liable for any adverse effects. Informed consent requires freedom of discussion.
