The two biggest problems with takehomes:

1. They do not scale horizontally. You do a takehome and get rejected, then your effort has become worthless when applying to other companies. Versus grinding leetcode - it scales across a huge breadth of many different companies.

2. Often times a takehome is not. instead of an leetcode interview. It's in addition to the leetcode interview. So you end up needing to practice leetcode anyways. Now you just have more work to do - work that doesn't horizontally scale.
The Second Age material isn't so much "smaller tales" as a very, very high level overview. It covers thousands of years in a few pages, and the most detailed stuff covers enormous events in a paragraph or so. It's almost entirely limited to a single small (but important) island, with only limited references elsewhere.

But it provides just enough scraps to hang a story on. To tell that story, they'll have to be intimately familiar with the First and Third Ages, not for consistency of events but to understand the ethos and mindset of the people.
Haha, I have a memory of a movie I saw in the 1960s where there's a dream sequence with the guy in a stylized prison cell with pink mist and giant keys dangling in the air. I've never been able to figure out what this was.

To be fair Moxie says it's only "early days" in the sense that the technology has failed to advance, since of course a significant quantity of time has passed since inception.

In some ways, cryptocurrency’s failure to scale beyond relatively nascent engineering is what makes it possible to consider the days “early,” *since objectively it has already been a decade or more*.
This tends to lead to doing nothing for a long time.
White supremacists are specifically attacking the 'black liberation' definition because it gained a worrying amount of traction among the global youth and the ruling class is not happy about that.

It's not a coincidence that the establishment in other major genocidal powers (ZA, AU, and UK) jumped on the anti-woke train early on to assist the US in fighting/redefining the concept.

Reminds me of a quote from a history prof, "The main problem with black history is it exposes too much of the fraud in white history... "

That's why I mentioned distributing the file over IPFS so that it could be easily backuped by anybody forever. If eventually there's no longer any interest in this database it could be lost to bitrot of course, but this is also true of blockchains.
I have this old quaint idea that government shouldn’t have too many secrets. That an informed public requires open records.

to flip what you are saying around, I believe that every government record should be born publicly available unless explicitly rendered secret (under review, of course). That is, I shouldnt have to file a FOIA, the agency should file a “Request for Secrecy”
>When an affordable architect specs a house, they almost never spec a shower valve (let alone cabinets, specific flooring providers, etc). When you buy a shower fixture, the valve doesn't come with it. This means you or the contractor has to either drive to home depot to buy a 6 dollar valve, or install the wrong valve to pass inspection and then wait and reinstall the correct valve.

This is kind of an eyebrow raising statement.

You definitely can buy a shower fixture with a valve.

They're not $6. Cheapest is like $40 retail and they can be hundreds for fancier models.

Nobody is installing a valve and then reworking it after passing inspection. It's pointless and will cost hundreds in wasted material and labor.

If your desired trim kit is out of stock you're only going to find out after the wall is waterproofed & tiled. Nobody is ripping out thousands of dollars of work to change a valve. You'd just buy a different trim kit that matches the installed valve.

I dunno, maybe they do things differently in California. But what you said there doesn't match any sort of construction experience I've had.

The people that complain about "woke" want to be the target audience. Much of "wokeness" consists of realizing that they've been the target audience for practically everything, for a very long time. And anti-wokeness consists of insisting that it has to continue to be that way, and that anything else is somehow immoral.
Theoretically, the E core can raise a #UD (undefined instruction) exception that the OS would trap (which already happens if the CPU doesn’t have AVX-512). The OS could then detect that the offending instruction is from the AVX-512 set, and move it to a P core. It could even set a flag on the thread to force it to use P cores.

Intel even touted the work they did with Microsoft about the scheduler to deal with selecting which E or P core to use.

I’m not sure why they chose to disable AVX-512 instead of doing that. Maybe that is their end goal, but it’s too much effort to have it done by release.
You did, just thinly veiled it. But everybody understood what you meant, and you know it. You can talk about "bad faith" all you want, but the matter is simple - you read article you didn't like (which is OK) and instead of engaging it on merits you went right into guilt by association and Nazi comparisons (which is not OK at all), all while perfectly knowing it's not OK to do it, but "carefully stating" your message so you could say "akshually, technically, I did not use that word, so here! Gotcha!" (which is not OK at all again). But everybody knew what you mean, what you intended and what you did.

What pressure is there to lower costs? Why would they charge less?

I hope nobody reading this actually falls for your weaksauce argument... You are literally using the false dichotomy logical fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma again, those are not the only two options:

you say:

> I used to believe taxes were a good way to redistribute wealth

and then, you don't believe that works because:

> I moved to San Francisco and saw how a welfare super state prioritizes its spending

So you are suggesting that the ONLY other possible option when the rich are taxed is that those taxes are mismanaged, but that is just not true: certainly there are varying degrees of "mismanagement" possible. In particular some of those mismanagement scenario might still result in better outcomes for less wealthy.

Given your other comments I'm sure you are already thinking: "who even cares about the less wealthy" but that seems to be the topic of the discussion, the original post is about how tax cuts don't result in "trickle down", which is how they are marketed and sold to the less wealthy.

Well yeah, it's rat poison. If it was intended to kill dogs, they'ed call it dog poison.

That a poison has some minimum dosage or can potentially be prevented from causing harm with proper intervention is irrelevant. The same could be said for cyanide. The fact is that there is some dosage that can cause serious harm without proper intervention.

My point is that rat poison is a serious risk to dogs. Technically anything that chemically causes undesired side effects is a poison, but colloquially we tend to distinguish between things that are dangerous and things that are merely unpleasant. Rat poison is firmly in the first category, cannabis is in the second.
> This is a big contributor to why markets perform so well in my humble opinion. People who see past the gambler's fallacy to the actual odds of things working get rewarded, and the people who assume the current leader must be doing something different and better than the competition get punished.

The problem with markets is that rewarding the people who can predict the market correctly isn't a particularly useful end result. What you wanted to happen is for the people who are best able to predict the market to determine the 'fair' price, but that's usually only guaranteed as a steady state which fails as soon as a market is even remotely volatile.
Disney says proposed theme park in Virginia will be serious fun (1993)
In your example images on your landing page (most CA SFH have this layout) only the backyard 1/2 lot will be developed into a new SFH? And this is accessible by an extended driveway, with the new backyard SFH barely facing the street because it's covered by the original front SFH? That sounds like it's going to be aesthetically awful for neighborhoods compared the typical townhome-type development where the original SFH would be split in half so that it's developed into two street-facing homes equally distant from the street. However that would cause 1 old SFH to be into 2 new SFH, so more construction cost, but higher prices on each lot. Is this not covered under SB9 or is too prohibitively expensive?

In your original homestead way, it also sounds like it only applies to lots where the SFH is very near the street, so that the backyard is > 1/2 of the lot. That seems unusual to me in most of the SFH I see where the SFH is quite squarely in the middle of the lot and would need to be partitioned to split the lot.
Thank you for identifying the problem in the first place! Now that I know about it, avoiding it is easy.

Antennas are weird beasts. Their behavior and performance can be predicted and measured in very technical ways but, at the end of the day, throwing a random length of wire over a tree branch, cut to 1/2 or 1/4 of the operating frequency wavelength can be all one needs to communicate with another station, even a very lower transmit power. This applies primarily to HF and VHF. Frequencies reaching up into the microwave range is where antenna design starts becoming a dark art, practiced by wizards and neuromancers.
>to which we, through representatives acting on our behalf, have agreed

I've never voted for a representative who was in agreement with taxation, and I've never agreed to be taxed. If you want to elect to do that voluntarily I have no problem with you doing that. I never even agreed that US government is legitimate. So nah, I don't agree.

>We get a lot more done when we as a society (if not necessarily individually) agree to what outcomes we want and what the rules are, and are forced by law to contribute to make it happen.

I don't take this to be fact. Government monopolies tend to be inefficient and free-rider problem can be rampant.

> has to contribute their fair share to a common cause we think is just.

If something is just and you want to pay for it there's nothing stopping you. Not a big fan of men with guns saying I have to pay to bomb brown in the middle east or fund nun-raping insurgents in Central America. I have looked into waiving my social security rights for instance, but that requires you to file a form 4029 and be part of a religious organization that has been around since about 1960. As an atheist I'm unable to file these forms to waive my rights. I would happily do so if the law is updated.

>Seriously, there's a huge difference between an individual robbing someone of something that's rightfully theirs by law

So which is better, taxing someone to bomb brown people in the middle east, or robbing a guy in a suit and feeding starving children in Africa? To me they're both bad but the robber sounds slighlty better if not because less people are killed with the ill-gotten gains. So yeah there is a difference, I think the child-feeding robber is better than the tax-man.

If I cancel or disable my account for a service I don't expect them to be able to charge me money in the first place!

Are they keeping card authorisations (or direct debit mandates, or whatever other mechanism) for customers that don't even have an account with them any more?

That sounds like an... ...interesting way to do business, but perhaps I'm misinterpreting this.
If by we you mean the FDA then no they are not.
Additionally said trillions aren't allocated to redacting documents so it really is like saying w're spending trillions on the military so deploy the national guard to redact the files. It's apples & oranges.

As outlined in the article, the FDA only has 10 people trained to do redactions and that's for all FOIA requests. Requesting 10 people to redact ~300k documents is going to delay (aka deny service) to anybody else requesting FOIA requests for the next year.
Jai is, imo, doing it right! For custom iteration one really _just_ wants it to be a little syntax sugar over a regular loop. Most other languages end up constructing some paradigm for iteration that drags in OO, FP, some interface concepts, generics, etc. Never mind that some edge-case async generator iteration can't leverage the `for` syntax; they deserve to stand out and be examined anyway. Especially in the case of Jai, where you'd want assurance that the for loop isn't incurring some weird function, allocation and other hidden overhead. No sufficiently smart compiler needed.

Compare that to e.g. Swift's iteration, with corners of undefined behaviors, potential allocations, and a collection types hierarchy that feels more like doing taxonomy than just looping.

Though to be fair, Jai's loop is rather intense in its usage of a macro system's features.

That’s part of the downside of “anonymized” data as there’s not any clear legal definitions so it’s quite possible to identify some persons within anonymized data.

I think this is a big problem when it comes to stuff like data brokering and selling. Less so with issues like this because vaccine data researchers are less likely to cause harm to someone than others who buy anonymized data.
Thanks for the detailed and comprehensive writeup. I think you make some very valid points that help to understand some of the context that he elides.

> everyday I interact with protocols, work and vote in daos- 4 years ago those things were in whitepapers as a possible idea, but now they are reality.

This is a pretty important point. He states that it's not really "early days", but if this is the kind of momentum we're talking about it feels like it is early days still. You don't see this kind of innovation in a stale field.

> I think a lot of his criticism is valid, but it also kinda falls flat on what is being built. It is a surface layer "i'll be a web3 dev for a day" overview and response. So it reads like if i followed a tutorial on neural nets in python then complained that my car still cant be driven by ai. Those of us in the space are well aware of all of this and it is all being worked on, but people unfamiliar read it as some kind of smackdown, which isn't helpful either.

This is the money quote for me. Just because there are issues currently doesn't mean that they won't ever get fixed.

My takeaway is that this subject is a lot more nuanced than his article is claiming, and although he's certainly right in a lot of his criticisms, that doesn't mean Web3 as a whole is doomed to failure.

It also does make me reconsider the movement as a whole. Sure, there are bound to be golddiggers, but that doesn't immediately render the whole concept invalid.
Apparently, 10 years and half a trillion dollars isn’t enough time or money these days for people to ship a basic SPV wallet to end users.

Even assuming the Ethereum people finally ship SPV support following moxie’s critique of their infrastructure, they still don’t have even so much as a rudimentary desktop wallet designed for air gapped spending which isn’t a literal web extension.

There has well and truly never been a more deserving poster child for the phrase “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”, than Ethereum. If there’s one societally valuable thing Ethereum can be credited for doing, it’s laying bare that cryptocurrency valuation really is just a Keynesian beauty contest with absolutely no fundamentals whatsoever. The entire cryptocurrency space consists of pure and simple confidence games, all of them claiming to be anything but.

I don't think you can ever make a breaking change like the one described. There's just no way to audit the correctness of all your users after that change. You need to leave the old thing with the old behavior and only add the new behavior to a new thing.

I mean, sure, but we have to recognize that the path to getting the education/skills was not fair. MBA programs only let in so many people (and certain types of people, if we're being honest). Only so many C-Suite positions exist for you to get management experience in. Getting selected for these opportunities requires luck as much as skill.

If you want to talk about compensation like a "fair market" and that there's only 1 Tim Cook so per the rules of supply/demand he can charge a ton for his services, then we have to also acknowledge that the market to acquire those skills is unfair. You cannot base a fair market on the output of an unfair one, they are both unfair. Tim Cook's compensation is unfair.
But everyone doesn't, that's just his impression and not researched whatsoever.

My main issue with WebSockets in terms of complexity comes on the server side, specifically with Upgrade being a hop-by-hop header, it's a bit of a pain to implement as a proxy, and I still haven't implemented WS support in boringproxy for this reason. Whereas polling using the same plumbing as everything else. Even server sent events are essentially just HTTP, though they're crippled with HTTP/1.1 and limited to text data.

But most people never need to implement an HTTP proxy. On the client side it's less of an issue, except it usually entails adding a dependency to your project unless you're using browser JavaScript.

For large services, I could see maintaining many open WebSockets becoming an issue, whereas with polling you can rate limit clients fairly easily to control the number of open connections you have.
That assumes people don't have professional reputations that relate to online identities.
I think it’s also a situation of someone not wanting to release so coming up with a bone headed way of reviewing for privacy.
I can't speak for everyone, but for me Hackers was the first time I was told that being a teenaged computer nerd (I was 15 when it came out), was not freakish. The only options in my experience until then were: Freak (in the should be outcast sense) or Freak (in the look at this genius no one can understand sense). In fact, it can be actually cool!

Sure the movie is cheesy (in all aspects except music really - a lot of that music was independently loved), but the part where it somehow validated my existence made it super important personally. I suspect this is true for plenty of others too - to this day you can go to Defcon (etc) and hear "Hack the Planet!" and more obscure quotes ("its in that place i put that thing that time" or "ugh hardcopy" for example). Even from people who aren't in their late-30s/early-40s.
