I would guess you have a lot more social skills than machine learning skills in an absolute sense, it's just that in a relative sense you're a lot better than the average person at machine learning and a lot worse at socialising, this is because for many humans, socialising is one of the few skills they spend any significant effort in mastering.

The amount of brain mass you have dedicated to socialising is still significantly more than the amount dedicated to ML. The rest of the advice in the thread can help you improve your skill in socialising, but just know that in a world where than skill is very popular and many have been working almost exclusively on it since a young age, you're unlikely to achieve relatively high skill levels compared to others. You should figure out which social goals you even want to achieve first.
"concert tickets, limited edition shoes, rare antiques"

What have you measured to determine that these markets 'work fine'? These are terrible markets, speculation is higher than productivity, fraud is endemic, prices are volatile and liquidity is low. Antiques and arts are infamous for fraud and enabling tax evasion.

People don't need limited edition shoes to survive, so we can just ignore the problem.

How to design a great user experience for desktop applications
There is a lot of variance in how much time it takes for a startup to raise - some are already done before Demo Day, and some take a couple of months or they postpone it for later.

Although it looks like a waste of time from the distance, since it prevents you from building the product, in our case it was actually a very useful and formative experience, I'd dare to say even the most of all parts of YC. Being an OSS, developer and tech oriented startup with no revenue it made us very aware of that and forced us to learn about how we can get there. As the result, we solidified our vision and actually feel much more confident about it now than before the fundraising.
Is the BTicino plug (https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Italian2.html) used at all in Italy now? There was a serious attempt at adopting it in Iceland in the late 1970s to early 1980s. These sockets can still be found in homes that were built in that period and they are just called "Italian sockets".
The advertisers probably don't pick the placement. All they know is that their content is being shown on TVs.
The indication of the culture for me is pretty clear from the followings:

- no indication in the post that they going to hire a new person

- If your company IT infra is down, you are probably dead in the water, leaving it to be managed by a single person who does not have any IT infra management experience is a pretty bad business decision

- No indication in the post that the person offered any training or anything

- my experience with 1 person responsible for IT support/management/sysadmin jobs are that they are 24/7, which leads to burnout and mental health issues
Okay, 3 rules for sysadmin positions:

- The most important rule is that your recovery from backup procedure is working properly.
- The second most important rule is that your backups are working properly.
- The (distant) third most important rule is to always individually backup any text file you edit before you edit it.

Seriously. These are the most important rules.

Other pro-tips are to test any changes to remote access (SSH most importantly) before you close the session that you made the changes in. Also, schedule restore from system backup and restart before you make any potentially crippling changes to the system configuration. If the changes work then you can cancel the restore / restart. If the changes cripple the system it will (if you've followed rules one and two above) recover itself. Finally, if you can afford it, try to run at least one dev / test instance of each critical system. You can make changes, point a few test clients at the new instance, make sure it's working, then either make the changes to the prod system, or do the dev / prod swap-over.

The actual ways to achieve these rules varies depending on OS mix, hardware, cloud providers (if any), use of certain tech (are you using virtualization? Are you using containers? Are you using some form of orchestration tooling? etc.) and many other things.

The first two rules mentioned above, and the order in which they're mentioned, are by far the most important rules in sysadmin. Ignore them at your own peril ;-)

Good luck. Keep a level head, don't panic, and test your backups!
I think you misunderstood the core issue of my concern. My concern is not with the device establishment is scared of. My concern is with the fact that people, who appear to making decision about those devices know little to nothing about them.

Half of them wouldn't know how to change a font in a document and yet they want to decide the path technology takes?

It really is an extension of the dilemma presented by Douglas Adams:

"To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job"
It's important to note that pretty much all other software already passes the first N function args (and even small structs up to 16 bytes) through registers, simply because the standard ABI calling conventions define it that way. It's hard to say how big the performance regression would be if everything is passed through the stack (I'm very surprised that Go passes everything through the stack TBH).
This is all horrific, but I was especially shocked by 6 so I read that. This seems to be only someone asking if this may happen, and no one answering that it would.

Of course this is the point of Amazon Sidewalk, so in due time, it probably will.

Given nature's bounty, I think we should be far past the point where anyone needs to work for their simplest needs.

And I say this without any contradiction with capitalism.

It seems morally inescapable to me, that we all have inherited the Earth. None of us earned our existence here. Nor did we create the resources as nature provides them. We are all inheritors of the world.

We can add the solar system and beyond to that.

A system whereby resource extraction, real estate (excepting their improvements by construction) rents, and communication spectrum charters returned a fraction to everyone equally seems both consistent with capitalism and the moral value of equality from birth.

A partial instance of this is the Alaska Permanent Fund. [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Permanent_Fund

EDIT: I would add that any legal impingement on the commons, which aught to have its consistent meaning of commonly owned property, also operated in the same way. I.e. income from patents, copyrights, or other socially created and protected rights should also partially accrue to everyone - as everyone is paying the cost of those rights both in protection and in respecting the prohibitions they create.

(The legal and economic way that could, or should, be done fairly is far beyond this statement. But the principle seems clear - the commons belongs to all of us, and any rents on it should be distributed evenly. This in no way eliminates the ability for capitalism to operate or those who value greater wealth from working longer, harder or smarter and accumulating it without bounds.)
Hey ogwh, are you still having this issue? Can you share the browser and version you are using?

Mobile phone adapters and other low power devices don't use the Earth even in Uk, they have a plastic prong there and you just get extra weight and bulk.
But zoning is also part of the issue. Residental areas many places in NA is often strictly residental - designed around that people can just take the car to go grocery shopping.

I've been commuting daily by bike in London for almost a decade. I use my bike to get around on the weekends too. Never had an issue.

Maybe this is because I've never had a job where I've had to leave it locked up on the street for hours on end. However, my bike is kind of crappy looking and I've left it locked up outside pubs and restaurants many times. I've never had an issue finding somewhere to lock it up anywhere in the city - there's always a bike rack, tall lamppost or solid railing near where I'm going.

You have to be confident riding in traffic. But once you accept that you need to be assertive - take the centre of the lane if there's no space to pass, use your positioning to control the traffic behind you, don't go into peoples blind spots etc, it's pretty safe. I think traffic in London is pretty accustomed to cyclists - we're everywhere. It's when you get further out the city into the suburbs that things start getting unpleasant.
Maybe they are happy to rent because they are temporarily in Europe?
Not exactly offering advice to acquire social skills, but I'd like to offer some perspective: I believe that social skills are only the means to an end, not an end in itself. Thinking of it in the same vein as "getting a degree" is probably wrong! Unless you are looking to be some kind of "social coach", you are much more likely to be wanting these skills to get along better with other people. And I think what this entails differs in different social settings! There are plenty of self-absorbed people that get along splendidly.

Again, not offering practical tips, just warning against thinking of social skills as some kind of game to master.
Deutsche Bahn whistleblowers alleged fraud at Germany’s biggest infra project

Is it you that audit the code or just having a piece of mind with the thought: "Someone MUST HAVE looked at that code and if I haven't stumbled upon any bad press, probably this is good to go!"? Maybe you are running some automated tools that identifies whether particular software accesses data it doesn't have to or makes network connections etc?

Something being open source doesn't automatically mean it is secure. On the other hand, any software running on your pc requires you to put trust in the developers. I think it would be easier to just setup monitoring (like preventing outgoing traffic or identifying DNS lookups etc) and limiting permissions on what particular software can do, be it black or white box. White box of course allows running some analyzers, but... do any non-contributors actually do it?

I remember seeing some tool here, don't remember - was it Microsoft made or what? That scanned the code and tried to identify what accesses software makes.

How to Destroy a Tech Startup in 3 Easy Steps
Not really any more than you already have. In Indiana, they already tax folks higher for homes you don't personally live in (no discounts here). Not only that, but rental income is income: This is a business you are running, after all, and you already have to file taxes on that income (and expenses). It truly wouldn't be that difficult to register a house as a rental and giving it the discount if you think it should apply.

I'd personally only give it out to folks with longer terms: The place should still be someone's primary residence, and only give a discount if it has been rented out x months out of the year. This would be to discourage airBNB units (for example) and encourage landlords to make their units affordable and attractive to the residents of the area.
Demo Video Widgetbook – Storybook for Flutter
Tangentially, I'm continually surprised at the lack of trivial GUIs for CLI tools. Like, command builders (output is a command you can run/paste into terminal) with procedurally-generated (or hand-built but without much design consideration) widget interfaces - a simple checkbox or line input for each option, with helpful concise tooltips. Training wheels for CLI.
Task+Note System
Yes, and some states already charge more property tax for rentals because the owner doesn't reside primarily at the address.
No lycra, lithium committee checking in.

Show me the rulebook. Many ride bikes/ebikes for reasons primarily other than exercise, myself included—"cheating", is a feature, not a bug.

One could argue "walking" is even more environmentally friendly than biking as there are minimal manufacturing byproducts (shoes?) and end waste. Does that mean we should all ditch bikes? If an ebike can take a car off the road, I'm all for it!
I had never heard of loewe, but after 10 minutes of searching, I still know nothing more about them - there is no pricing available, no idea where to buy them and no list of models. The one model I could find I also can't find tech specs for because the download link is broken.

> It is Christian in origin, albeit a minor local Christian tradition (developed in the US) rather than a major near-universal one.

It is Christian only in the sense that the people who celebrated it were Christian. The events that led to the festival were purely political in nature, and not necessarily wholesome either.

Transformers are exciting as they seem to work on all types of modalities, including vision [1]. It makes me wonder if the transformer module captures some essence of the minicolumn structure found all over the neocortex that Jeff Hawkins raves about, citing Vernon Mountcastle. Hawkins et al talk about grid cells nowadays, location; maybe attention and context is the generalization of such a notion.

E: your edited in last paragraph is basically what I'm trying to say.

> That's true for everything in life as the amount of hours in a day and the amount of days in our life is finite so it depends on your priorities where you want to allocate your time

This is exactly my point. I think having decent/passable social skills is very beneficial, but I also know that having an active social life is very time consuming. Maybe OP only needs to do this for a short time to build up some skills he can use in future.

I don't think we disagree, I'm trying to point out the same thing you are. That you can't have it all.

> Where did I say that one is better? My point was that prioritizing one thing (SW career) for multiple years has a consequences of leaving you behind in other things (social contacts and experiences)

I felt it was implied that this was a poor choice compared to being more social. I also agree there are no guarantees. Personally, I'm naturally less social and more interested in my personal growth, so I'm not particularly bothered by not socializing a lot. I think it's very dependent on your personality.
You propably need to spend a year haphazardly watching YouTube videos and Reading papers on social interactions while applying your learnings in practice before being able to actually compare the two.

It sounds like you think just living will somehow imprint social skills unto you, but this is as silly as thinking that you’d learn machine learning from working 18 years as a cleaning assistant at an ML company.

Well here's my unconventional take on it. It won't give you many tips but it might comfort a bit.

We were already apex predators before our minds apparently went into overdrive. We were already using tools and hunting in groups better than anything else. The only thing likely to eat us was a lion, and only if desperate. So what were we competing against that applied an evolutionary pressure that selected so strongly for intelligence, theory of mind, etc. in a feedback loop?

The best hypothesis I've encountered is -- other humans. Competing for social status. Competing for mates. Predicting the behaviour and allegiances of your political opponents. Keeping track of kin. Keeping track of networks of "I owe yous". Gossip.

We've evolved to be as inscrutable and perplexing to other humans as possible, while also evolving a toolset to decode other people's intentions and thoughts. An evolutionary arms race, maybe.

tl;dr: Humans are the most complex system other humans encounter and have to understand, by a mile. We all fail at it to varying degrees.
I was being sarcastic. Not only is it not easy, it is impossible! There is no such thing as distinguishing a cyber attack of any kind between a state-sponsored and independent-sponsored. This move by Apple is bizarre to say the least.
Initial thoughts of 20 year veteran:

- Create a single-source-of-truth you can automate against. Do that now. Use ansible to fetch and create an overview of what your landscape actually is running: which software, which versions. Find out what is going EOL, as this will bite you soon enough.

- don't automate anything else until you understand the full context of what you are automating. Automation is abstraction, and you don't know yet what to abstract.

- When you do automate, start with writing tests. https://testinfra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ is quick win to ensure all your systems have certain configuration, can reach certain ports, have closed other ports.

- Once you have tests in place you can start creating ansible playbooks for changes, as changes _will_ happen.
No you are wrong, it is not that "science has shown there is an anomaly", and the word isn't being used because there is an anomaly. It is just a definition. I don't think you have understood the issue at all. Rather, you convince me even more that it is an issue.

For comparison, again, consider the average temperatures within a year, and then the daily temperatures are an "anomaly" and summer and winter would be anomaly because their temperatures deviate from the average. You wouldn't say "science has shown that summer and winter are an anomaly".
How is revenue tied at all to efficacy? Your analysis is too shallow to have any meaning.
How Christie’s Is Pitching Its Expansion from Picassos to NFTs
This is pretty much precisely how Maersk recovered from the NotPetya worm attack, though the circumstances were serendiptous rather than planned:

... After a frantic search that entailed calling hundreds of IT admins in data centers around the world, Maersk’s desperate administrators finally found one lone surviving domain controller in a remote office—in Ghana. At some point before NotPetya struck, a blackout had knocked the Ghanaian machine offline, and the computer remained disconnected from the network. It thus contained the singular known copy of the company’s domain controller data left untouched by the malware—all thanks to a power outage. “There were a lot of joyous whoops in the office when we found it,” a Maersk administrator says.

When the tense engineers in Maidenhead set up a connection to the Ghana office, however, they found its bandwidth was so thin that it would take days to transmit the several-hundred-gigabyte domain controller backup to the UK. Their next idea: put a Ghanaian staffer on the next plane to London. But none of the West African office’s employees had a British visa.

So the Maidenhead operation arranged for a kind of relay race: One staffer from the Ghana office flew to Nigeria to meet another Maersk employee in the airport to hand off the very precious hard drive. That staffer then boarded the six-and-a-half-hour flight to Heathrow, carrying the keystone of Maersk’s entire recovery process. ...

Because it only involves 1 part of your being: the thinking mind.

Social skills involves the other parts such as connecting to people, doing / acting on some stuff, speaking, sometimes lying or pushing people away.

As an anecdata I was a total nerd before with 0 social skills and no one wanted to talk to me, but by studying a bit of personal development you can get the basics and understand the subtext of most interactions, which is actually the most important: "what do other people want from the interaction ?".

Now I can know go talk to a lot of people. I can travel alone, go to clubs / bars alone and talk to people and (before i had a gf) pick up chicks by myself, which 90% people wouldn't. It's still draining but because I learnt to have fun with these settings (I found my vibe), the cost of not going is higher than going.

It's possible to improve a lot if you will you can read stuff. I recommend:

- https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/11/11/the-gervais-principle-... to know the various ways people speak.

- 48 laws of power (a must)

- The Game by neil strauss (it's more seduction-oriented but it's mostly about someone who was a nerd journalist and became one of the most famous womanizer ever. Super fun to read if you don't wanna take it at 1rst debree)

> too much leisure

Isn't that like Too Much Fun?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgwVgHvXZd8

Try retiring. Retired people sometimes have trouble dealing with leisure, when they first stop working. But eventually most people take up a hobby, volunteer, go cruising, or start studying again. Also, if you have leisure, a lot of ordinary tasks start taking longer (The Peter Principle). I've been redecorating my living room for almost two weeks; that's a job that once would have taken me two days.
