etc etc, this is just what immediately came up in the last year. Among "the right sorts" they'll occasionally get complacent admit it's all about partisan advantage and not actually about fraud at all.
We should mandate that Tinder and other dating sites force people make their current STD test results and last date of testing public on their online dating profiles. Porn performers have to do it in California, and sex workers in Australia, so there's no reason why college students here shouldn't have the same requirement. It's already normal in some places. Then keep a list of anyone who declines, because putting people at risk like that is unethical, surely. That is a poor argument, but one of the same quality as the comment it responds to.

We have never had to show a compliance document to eat in restaurants. Even the age of majority for alcohol was a single event, and not an ongoing compliance test. Equating transportation, restaurants, private employment, and cultural venues - to schools kids are forced into, is a false equivalence.

Get a vaccine, and whether someone else has or hasn't is not anyones business.
I think OP is suggesting that if you wanted that you'd need to set it up yourself.

This reminded me of Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.02893.pdf) due to the linear bound being sufficient to control the features.

Do you have any comments/insight into how you’d say they’re similar/different? Thanks!
A lot of people ITT make the claim that vegetarians are inherently more empathetic. I am skeptical.

In my experience, vegetarians are frequently utilitarian. Empathy means understanding another person’s situation and requires placing a high value on personal relationships.

Utilitarians are focused instead on global impact and large scale societal cost/benefit.
Totally anecdotally, I've noticed a lot of vegans that I know have a strong leaning to socialise with other vegans, who often discuss veganism and end up with a lot of pro-vegan/anti-omnivore content on their social media feeds. So from my observations a social echo chamber exists that makes my acquaintances feel that the world urgently needs to progress towards veganism to avert social injustice/climate change/other existential issues/etc.

If he were unfit for office, he would have been removed. He wasn’t. I’m no Trump fan nor voter, but it’s pointless to keep posting opinions like this pretending they are facts.

It’s the continued little lies like this that helped add up to 74M votes (12M more than 2016). So if you really want to see him in office again, keep it up.

There is a lot of verification that goes into a student ID. Even at the community college level they are going to at least verify your residency to make sure you are paying the correct tuition rate. My local CC even differentiates this on their IDs.

But at the state level you will need much more. We are talking 12 years of transcripts and a high school diploma. Vaccination records going back to birth. Income information (paystubs, bank accounts) on you and your family so they can verify your ability to pay tuition or qualify for aid. In order to qualify you’ll need to undergo background checks (felons are not eligible for aid). Then you need letter of reference from at least 3 individuals and your HS guidance counselor. Finally, you will need official SAT test scores, and the college board does their own process of identity verification.

Is the process perfect? No. But if you were looking for a vector for fraud, student IDs are probably one of the most onerous.
Razer's account is not absolutely mandatory, there is a button for "guest mode" (note the phrasing, ha!), but it's annoying to use.
Stupid question but have you actually ever tried? Your tech stack seems modern enough that I'd be surprised if you couldn't get some offers from startups. New grad level at a startup generally pays 90k+ in my market so you shouldn't have a problem at least matching your current comp but I think 150-200k is probably reasonable but you might need to work remote for a company in a major city.
Is this a joke?

ERROR: Literally the first paragraph of the EAD is about controlling airspeed. [Edit: This is not correct]

They hit 700(!!) MPH. They literally commanded full take off power to accelerate the plane into the ground. You can add power if your pitch is high to arrest a sink rate (ie, during landing), but if you are pitched down, you pull power.

There is also a 300 second limit on T/O power - I'd be interested if they exceeded that as well.

The maintenance on this plane was terrible.

This was not a situation where folks involved "did everything right".

For those not familiar, approx 3 minutes after they did a stab trim cutout they put stab trim back to normal. That's never been in any guidance for EAD or runaway.

The 4th activation of MCAS moved trim down (to 1 unit, should have probably been at 4.3 - 5.x or so). That probably doomed them.
> I'd rather be born and die than never exist at all.

In the limit there is no difference.
So what are you arguing for?

A) Insurance shouldn't know how often you hard-brake or tailgate (aka privacy)

B) Insurance shouldn't use the above data to "assume" how safe of a driver you are
The ecosystem around C and C++, existing projects. C++ code is known to be able to build millions of lines of projects. IIRC, Crystal still struggles there, though I think the last year has had improvements there? To be fair, C++ does as well, but how it struggles is better documented.

I'd bet that C++ gives you more low level control than Crystal does, though I'm not deeply familiar with Crystal.

Zig and Rust both seem to eat at the space that C++ occupies more than what I've seen out of Crystal, but I have not followed it closely at all, so I could well be wrong there. Crystal feels closer to the Ruby flavor to Nim's Python flavor, and I know syntax doesn't imply low-levelness, but yeah.
I didn't quote that because people already know that shocks are not great things, but I'd say it's not that simple given that the judge here doesn't agree with the department's assessment.
I know it's not necessary, but I do it to distinguish to the reader whether they should expect a closing tag or not.
The Chair of the SEC taught crypto at MIT [1]. As much as the SEC needs to upskill, crypto needs to accept they are not going to replace the existing systems and they deserve no exceptions in regulation.

What we need is competition in rule making, generally. See "Rules for a Flat World"

There is a term for it - Scapegoating.
I'm currently working as an architect, equally skilled in coding, design, and communication, making around 225k TC remote, for 4 days a week, which I scored from being here for a while. 25 years experience. Are people in their 40s and 50s able get these higher paying jobs? Is it possible to negotiate working 4 days a week instead of 5?
$1mm will get you access to almost all.

Top ones like to turn people away just for the headline that they turned someone valuable away, so they somewhat also rely on relationships and schmoozing to get in.

In reality though, so many people are all talk about their ability to actually move any money, that $1mm will get you in everywhere. You know the saying: money talks, bullshit walks.

Note: there are other regulatory gatekeeping tiers above accredited investor, but they are all self-certifications too which means you can just say you have $5mm or $10mm in net worth, etc.
They've gone full CNC with the cheese, unfortunately.

I'm 100% certain that's because every major tech vendor sees nothing but dollar signs due to the advertising potential.

I know in the USA it is possible to open accounts online only, and when you are online only well it's not a far hop to give a digitally manipulated ID photo, if they ask for one at all. Plus all the info needed to open bank accounts has been breached and released 100 times over at this point.
Python is four years older than Java, and both have been extended a great deal since their inception.

The original Design Patterns book was written with Smalltalk in mind, which was dynamically duck typed, and had functional features (code blocks), among other things that didn't come to Java or Python for almost a decade.

Perhaps some language features are comparable to and negate the need for some design patterns, like Visitor with multiple dispatch which is provided by Julia --- but most creational, and behavioral design patterns are more just techniques that are independent of most languages and language features.

I definitely dislike the flavor of these articles that paint design patterns as a toolkit to piece together to build programs, rather than recognized components of a sound architecture which can help you build and design software that can be more easily reasoned about and extended.

It does lend to people making rube-goldbergesque monstrosities without really thinking about the why behind the way they are doing things.

I do think there are patterns I have recognized while programming in Rust, Ocaml, and a number of other languages, which never have had a description lent to them; and it's nice to see design patterns being talked about again, beyond the hype of the 1990's.

Read what I said again. My point was not that algorithms are irrelevant but they are table stakes. I have known all the algorithms on Leet Code for years.

My comment was not that I don't need to know algorithms it was that at a senior level the questions should be far more advanced than what leet code has.

I'm a little amazed that so many people in these comments assume I don't know algorithms.

Everyone comparing this to minority report needs to calm down. Believe it or not, more accurate insurance premiums are a good thing.. if you are a good driver. And if there’s one thing that everyone agrees on, it’s that “I’m a good driver”.

If Tesla starts charging people who push the petal to the medal at every green light, or take every turn at 2G’s, then good drivers rejoice. I was a pricing actuary in a prior life, I would LOVE to see what kind of loss information they get from granular driving habits.
Aren't they optional 100% of the time though?
Although there are certainly some similarities, trailing slash on empty tags is a different case to automatic semicolon insertion. Semicolons are mostly optional, but the trailing slash is never required, and does absolutely nothing—most specifically, it doesn’t close tags, and that’s what I’m getting at with my position of the trailing slash being mildly harmful: it’s teaching a mental model that’s simply wrong.
I am 110% in support of those community principles when it comes to criticism of people. We must always assume mutual respect, practice kindness and argue in good faith. It's never not the right thing to do, whether you're motivated by persuasion or simple humanity.

But can we at least recognise that there's an enormous distinction between criticism of people and criticism of ideas? In my estimation, when someone is calling for an idea to be protected from unkindness, or name-calling, or sneering, it's probably deserving of it.
I'm totally with you, I've lived in Oregon most of my life and I'm quite happy with the vote-by-mail system we have. But looking at the public opinion on the 2020 election, I get the impression that it would be a tough-sell nationwide.
Insurance already discriminates on age/car make based on shitty risk models, what's new
Why would no insurance keep offering this option?
Yes, and the most important thing is getting equity. Plus, good companies will pay probably more than 225K cash a year plus a ton of equity.
The Frontline episode on PBS is 50% teary-eyed emotional testimonials from the victim’s families, interspersed with 25% stock footage and 25% poorly summarized, and in many cases technically incorrect explanation.

The Smithsonian Channel Episode “Ten Steps to Disaster” is far more technically accurate, and also deep dives the technical, business, and regulatory decisions that lead to the disaster.

Yeah, not stopping at stop signs = higher insurance premium makes sense.
Your mistake is thinking these are substantially different jobs than any other. Don't fall into the Just World fallacy where you try to justify why compensation is so high by assuming there must be some hidden tradeoff. The tech job market just isn't very efficient.
Can someone describe what a Staff+ is and how it compares to architect? I think I know but my employer doesn't have that position, or an IC track - it seems that everyone is an engineer, architect, or manager, and a few years ago anyway it seemed like Architect was the senior position to aim for if you didn't want to be a manager.

I'm an architect now but I don't code as much and I suspect I could add more value if I did more self-directed coding.
My thoughts exactly. Sometimes you will lose the cat and mouse game and often the spies just have a huge upper hand on you.
If you replace the version of python that the upgrade process expects, then yeah, you'll probably run into problems. The upgrade process can't possibly support every single version of any given package, that would defeat the entire purpose of having a stable release cycle. If it's a core package like python which sits really close to the top of the dependency tree then the effects of swapping that out will cascade downward and that's why everything breaks so badly.

In my experience, this is the only safe way to have third party apt repositories:

- Don't install any third party packages which have reverse dependencies. This means no libraries, only applications. If you need newer libraries as a dependency then you have to statically compile the application.

- Don't install any third party packages which have the same name as an upstream package. If you want to install a newer third party version of an upstream package then you need to change the name of it and have it install all of its files in different locations. A prefix change is enough here, /opt is a popular choice.

- Delete all third party packages before doing an upgrade, in case a new upstream package happens to have the same name, or needs to put files in the same locations.

Do anything outside of that and you will risk getting your install into a broken state. Because even though you might think you are just installing some applications, what you are really doing is bolting things on to the upgrade process for the entire core system. Using nvm is perfectly safe though because that just installs the different versions to your home directory, it doesn't touch apt.
Accurate premiums are nice...if they don't require surveillance. Which this is.

Focusing on bean counting is missing the point.
They are a good thing until they're not. Is already very bad for health insurance, with people being denied to have an insurance just because they're slightly overweight or they have pre existing conditions (like meh, is that the whole reason why I'm buying an insurance in the first place?)

Now fast forward 20 years and you can't buy a car insurance because you push too hard on the break.
If you are great at algorithms, have 20 years of experience with a great track record and live near a great tech university so plenty of tech companies, then you are doing something really wrong if you just earn $175k a year. Or you intentionally choose to have a low salary and prioritize other things, but if you did that then you'd know about it instead of asking this question.
Two months offset btw the two.

Hello Alessandro,
I am Niky, a fullstack developer who loves design from Indonesia. Escpecially about UI/UX design. I do design by Adobe XD. It's a great news for me to hear that your company needs product designer. Please contact me at nikyayulestari@gmail.com if you need my help. I would love to join and start my first international experience from you, thank you.

Best regards,

Does it help you?

Founder blogs probably don't add direct value to most startups (there are exceptions). They can help in recruiting and other secondary activities every company needs.
You’re too polite :) I should read the article before commenting, bad habit. Thanks for the correction.

Someone with deep pockets to counter the PR machine that is Apple. That's the only way. Of course, this means having an actual working product for that PR to promote. It also means having a way of installing it without some scary voiding warranty notice.
Mostly if you look at it out of the context of a single function - a lot of projects end up taking a huge number of dependencies, with a lot of overlapping functionality, because you used one function from this one, another function from that one… I’m fine with using libraries when they actually do heavy lifting that’s core to an application, but a single two line function requiring including hundreds of unrelated irrelevant ones? That will impact the coding style of your team and does have security downsides, like needing to trust the library authors and potentially breaking your build because they changed their APIs or deleted a package or whatever. Copying a 2 line function has very clear boundaries to what it can and can’t do, and doesn’t hide the internals of what you’re doing behind the mystique of “an external dependency”.
That sounds like they are knowingly incompetent? If a utility regulator had no one on staff who knew how utility scale power transmission/generation/whatever worked, that’s what we’d call it for sure.

And aerospace engineers are dirt cheap. What sort of clown show is the FAA running?

Please don’t flag replies like this; thankfully I was able to vouch for Walt.

For some background, Walt and I are routinely brigaded with downvotes on 737 MAX threads. What he and I have in common, compared to those who engage in such behaviors, is that unlike those we typically are replying to, we both have extensive backgrounds in the aviation field, especially on the programming side.

Back on topic, the takeaway that Walt is making and that seems to be missed continually in these threads, is that Lion Air did not lose their plane due to the MAX’s MCAS implementation. Rather, the pilots engaged with the plane in a manner precisely opposite to what procedure calls for. Despite all of the poor calls made by Boeing here, if LA’s pilots had simply reacted as the previous flight’s pilots had, the plane would have made it.
I'm not a good driver. That's why I use Autopilot. Wonder what my premiums would look like. Technically I rarely drive these days.
I am not the GP and I mean no disrespect to you. Your below phrasing seems presumptuous to me -

>>..someone who can answer the leet code questions easily (and has been able to for a decade)...

If you are a CTO chances are you have not been practicing LC. Even if you were able to do LC style questions a decade ago, without practice you are very likely to struggle with them. So don't assume just because you are CTO / architect you can do LC style questions. The questions have been becoming progressively harder each year. It is a sad reality, our industry does not decide compensation based on experience, knowledge and actual skill used on the job. If you want to maximize your compensation you have to do LC style questions. Even non FAANG companies ask LC style questions these days.
People are absolutely looking. It's routinely detected when republicans who believe this nonsense decide to give it a try.

Often they are even lawmakers! Pro tip never get high on your own supply, there, chief. But I get that state legislatures are cowtown nobodies and yeah they often actually are dumb enough to believe the prolefeed.

In my mind the is absolutely the right kind of data collection we should be encouraging. Do I want Tesla to sell my driving behavior to 3rd party vendors? No. Do I want them to plug it into an algorithm and give me an insurance (hopefully) discount? Absolutely, 100x yes. Not ALL data collection is the evil eye of Sauron leaching off your personal life. Put it to good use, give us more accurate premiums!
