Is the PhD worth it?

A million is a million.

Do you think you'd be able to recoup it in quicker time then the sunk cost in education?

I personally am not a fan of academia, but many on HN news are and believe the accreditation will lead you to go far. I personally believe it's up to your skills and network - what do you know and who do you know? You already are at a FAANG.

So it comes round to what's the point? Are you ready to forgo revenue for a PhD?
Not the same thing, but something close: if you have _enough_ prior information stored, something like DevonThink can pick out "related fragments" (i.e. while running locally on privately owned data).

The US seems stuck in a holding pattern of "two more weeks, two more weeks" without addressing any of the potential workarounds like power, directional antennas, or even blackout zones. From what I've read, the airlines and FAA haven't really put forward any proposals for compromise, like leaving towers off near airports. It's always no 5G anywhere until they've had more time, as if the planned 5G deployment came as a total surprise. Or why can't the towers be turned off in bad weather only?
The problem is that then you aren't verifying it yourself, and a flat earther can claim you're just using one of the propaganda sources created by the government.
Then you haven’t understood a thing. Have a good day.
This is such obvious clickbait, but evidently it works pretty well, according to the top banner it is the most popular article in the Chronicle right now. I'd expect to see more idiotic proposals like this, unfortunately.
But you're proving my point here. 90% was pushed out of farming, but that population isn't unemployed right now. We're doing other things, like being automation engineers.

And as we automate other things, life will continue to improve, but humans won't ever run out of things to do.

For those who don't know it, in brief: Put a vertical pole in flat ground at noon and measure the length of the shadow. The next day, drive an hour or two directly north or south and do the same measurement at noon again. With a bit of trigonometry, you can estimate the earth's circumference - or for our purposes, at least prove to yourself that the earth is not flat, as the shadows will be different lengths with the sun in nearly the same position both times.

Of course, there is a separate discussion about whether we should consider light trigonometry within the bounds of what modern laymen should be expected to handle.

As the article also states, the ancients observed that as ships passed below the horizon, the hulls disappeared before the masts - this is also within reach of most laymen.
Do such people even exist?

Being a programmer, what I earned is a result of several factors - most importantly investments made into me by my parents and by the society (with schools, infrastructure etc. mostly funded with taxes); and also plenty of pure luck and sheer coincidence. Only afterwards comes a lot of hard work I've put into learning what I know. Without the former, I would probably earn only a small fraction of that (and/or under much worse conditions) even assuming that I'd be putting the same amount of hard work. Alternatively, with more dumb luck I could be earning much more while putting less work into achieving that. Of course, this is just barely scratching the surface, as there are also other ways to get rich than working hard or being lucky; mere ability to invest your time and effort into "working hard" is often filled with external factors as well; and "being (un)lucky" itself contains so many factors to consider that I wouldn't even know where to start.
I'm sorry, but from your description of the approach it's almost completely worthless.
Have an attorney draw up a demand letter for 250k and see how it goes from there. You are likely not going to get the amount that is due. Why throw good money after bad and waste even more of your time on an employer who is apparently not solvent?
The technology we have works. It's developed from R&D that's based on main-stream science. How do I know? The companies that are making it recruit from colleges that teach such science. It's round-about, but that's evidence for me.
The multiline cursor is a great tool I didn't know I needed before I tried Kakoune. Also, the commands are more logical. Go to end of line with gl, select code from current place until the end of line with GL, go to the start of line with gh, go to the end of file with gj and to the top with gk, etc. It's more logical and the fact that you can use visual select by keeping shift down when moving is very nice.
Looks so... classic and not much larger. Well, maybe 20% larger. I may have to get one!
I mean the difference with flat earth and other sorts of conspiracy theories is that you can directly observe the fact that the Earth is not flat. I’ve been flights, a few on clear days at ~40,000ft and you can definitely make out the curve of the Earth with the naked eye. It doesn’t require any special tools or leaps of logic, you can simply look out the window.
Over a long enough time horizon eventually every dominant technology gets disrupted. But I'll bet that we'll all be retired before a credible alternative to semiconductor chips comes along for general purpose computing.

Even if quantum computers can be made to work at scale they'll always remain niche devices for running specialized algorithms. No one is ever going to calculate their income taxes on a quantum computer.
> Believe it or not, poor people generally don't buy football tickets. If their TVs were made by UBI workers, then they wouldn't be able to afford those either.

This is not my experience at all. I once had a job setting up home PCs and internet for low income people in my community. Almost every single home had a projection TV (the top of the line at the time) and a recent mercedes in the driveway. They’re able to afford these things because they are actually receiving income, it’s just not reported (and therefore also not taxed)
Not universal. It is payment only to lower income students. Universal would be all students regardless of income status.
WoL does work (ethernet and reportedly over wifi too), so it should be fairly simple to remote control when off if that's your plan.
Crucial lesson that I’ve learned the hard way: never make decisions regarding spiritual and irrational side of your life with your rational brain.

Unless you consider a wife as purely a business partner with concrete common goals in mind.

This sounds cheesy but its true nonetheless - don’t go from your mind (he is always looking for more and always unsatisfied), go from your heart.

On the technical side - i’d just expose myself more to various social contexts, would be more proactive in starting meaningful conversations, would take more responsibility for the interaction (not for control over other party’s reactions), would say no more often, would believe in myself more and trusted my intuition, would waste less time just trying to get laid.
I know examples when people consider arranged marriages the same as involuntary marriages by definition.
There's three ways:

1) Meet people doing hobbies/outside of work activities (You take art classes at the local community college, meet a nice girl, etc)

2) Meet people through dating sites (match.com, tinder, etc)

3) Meet people through friends (Your friend has game night at their house, invites a single girl, you two hit it off)
> While speaking to NPR about his personal reaction to the September 11th attacks a few months later, Miller would say: "For the first time in my life I know how it feels to face an existential menace." I think that I've never heard something so white, straight, male and sheltered. He will eventually repackage the idea as simply Holy Terror, after jettisoning any reference to the superhero.

I think most people felt that way after seeing the attacks. I am weary of any writer who makes it a "white, straight, male and sheltered" thing to be worried about one of the worst terror attacks on our soil. It's a human thing, and for Americans who had never served in combat, it would be the first time they ever felt a threat that real; "existential menace" means, implying the existence of a threat. Innocent lives were lost, a lot of lives, and it shook a nation.

I only bring it up because of how unnecessary that seemingly flippant remark was to me. Whether or not Miller was a good guy or not doesn't mean the deaths of thousands is a proof of his race, sex, etc.; it comes off as hateful which is a real shame, I am more likely to question the author's intent. Personally i don't disagree with most of the article, I would have liked a more thorough review of what the writer is talking about when she mentions different troubling things about the comics, as i would have to read it myself to see what they are even talking about.

(EDIT: i re-read the last few points and i retract that i agree with most; i think i disagree with most of her points. Sometimes i give benefit of the doubt, only to look again and realize the take is mostly vapid)

Zoroaster (also Zarathustra) is also the character at the center of the famous book by Nietzsche "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (I recommend it), which itself inspired the symphonic poem (with the same name -- I recommend to listen to it entirely too) from Richard Strauss, that everyone knows as the opening theme of Kubric's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (that I recommend too).
We have the benefit of hindsight here; it's clear that this product failed.

So this makes everybody poorer. Nobody is being lifted up here. If things cost more then your money doesn’t go as far. That’s called inflation. UBI seems like a great idea on paper but you’re pointing out its problem as a feature.
Not at all, and I say this as an American. I mean we’ve had several protests in just the last year about our legal system’s inability to function correctly.
I don't think they ever claim the education is responsible for producing conspiracy theories. Just that it produces people who are primed to accept lists of "facts" from an authority figure without much critical thinking behind them. Which doesn't create conspiracy theories, but does create an ideal audience for them.
> Science, at its base, is inherently axiomatic

That's a way of thinking about science, but I would argue there are more useful ways. Question-Hypothesis-Experiment is a more useful way of thinking about it if you want to generate new knowledge (do science).

This is more of a description of math than science.

But very few people injured in car accidents are permanently paralyzed.

There are only 17k people per year who receive any kind of spinal cord injury, from all sources, not just cars.

That means you could even count all spinal injuries as a death!! If every person with a spinal injury somehow just died, it would still be a smaller problem than COVID deaths.

COVID would still be 7 or 8 times worse than these theoretically extra-deadly roads. Even if Long COVID didn't exist, the deaths alone would blow it out of the water.

People are too quick to laugh at flat earthers. Instead, it's a great opportunity to learn about the world. Anyone who has laughed at them before, have you first entertained the "what if it's true" stance? It's an easy one to entertain and disprove yourself, so it's great for practice. If the earth is flat, what is their model for the planet? Why is that model impossible?

At the very least, it helps you uncover some of your false assumptions of the how the world is by understanding your own model better.
I'd like to see a generalised version of this. If there were sufficient access to data - country of origin, content/manufacture/materials/process certifications, manufacturer/ownership pedigree. Then customers could create their own preference filters and shop accordingly.

I imagine some of this data may be significantly difficult to source. But I would use such a site. You don't even have to be "political" about it. Simply expose the product metadata you have to your search engine and let your customers quietly know about it. I could see Amazon progressively introducing parts of this with little blowback.

Yes. The point is that lower-case-d democrats have done more harm in the world than flat earthers, mostly from being more numerous, even while being less dangerous.

Damage = Dangerousness * Number

Lowercase-d democrats have also done more good in the world than flat-earthers, and caused more change in the world with unclear value.

I do wonder if the games industry is close to wide-scale reckoning on working conditions. It really does just sound brutal and even more exploitative than Hollywood. I've personally suffered mild enterprise ERP burnout, but the kind of stuff I read about in the game industry is just next level.

In "Behind the Curve" (Netflix doc about flat earther's) the thing that became very clear is that it's not just about believing the earth is flat for these people, it is about belonging to a community of like minded people all fighting the same good fight.

A sense of community. A sense of purpose. I think that is why they so doggedly stick to their guns. Without sticking to the belief, there is so much to lose (friends, partners, purpose, etc).

> 1) Meet people doing hobbies/outside of work activities (You take art classes at the local community college, meet a nice girl, etc)

Good approach. In general, finding people like the original question suggests is a lot of work.

> 2) Meet people through dating sites (match.com, tinder, etc)

A great deal of work and patience - with no guarantees - but for some this could be preferable. Still, I'd hesitate recommending this.

> 3) Meet people through friends (Your friend has game night at their house, invites a single girl, you two hit it off)

Might bring good results, but you have to have good friends - both a lot of them, and those should have those required connections in society. Develop this even if it won't bring you to the main goal, the secondary goals are still worthy.

Given that she doesn't say anything about what the alternatives should be, we can only speculate. But she would seem to be implicitly pushing that comics should be written from the upper-middle-class, westernized, college-educated liberal worldview: characters' race and sex should be interchangeable, every combination of physical characteristics should be represented but shown as irrelevant to their behaviour and culture. Characters from any time or space should naturally hold the same moral positions as any respectable westernized college-educated liberal; the reader should never be so much as exposed to characters with offensive views, much less asked to try to understand or sympathise with them. Religious and cultural differences are as precious as they are purely decorative; it's impossible for them to lead to deep moral conflicts between decent people (and of course anyone who isn't a straight white male is always decent).

Of course that's a reductive, unsympathetic view on what she's saying - but so is her approach to Miller. Perhaps she'll come up with a positive, expansive direction for comics to go in, one that makes for a richer and more deeply textured world rather than one that flattens all characters into the superficially-diverse-but-deeply-identical mold. But that's not the direction I've generally seen from people saying things like this.

I disagree, the exceptions are not "few" and by making smart purchase decisions you can pretty much expect mainline support. You have to look at the trajectory of things and ongoing efforts.

For example my $15 Orange Pi PC (Allwinner H5 SoC) that I bought many years ago from AliExpress went from no mainline at all to excellent with only minor parts like the Crypto engine still requiring kernel patches.

This is thanks to the linux-sunxi, lima, and other efforts. For AMLogic there is linux-meson. For RockChip this is more spotty, but you can look at what Pine64 did in the past and their track record is actually pretty good.

Well, part of the problem meditation addresses is the desire to control one’s thoughts - which is usually counter productive. The more one tries to control and fight what is, the more pain that usually results.

It’s usually more productive to notice them, notice their nature, and let them go when and where they do not serve your interests. With a small pat on the head, and some not small amount of empathy and caring.

Which is hard of course, especially when there are real reasons for them. But if they do not help, it’s better for everyone.
> Do such people even exist?

You’re talking to one. I have no degree, am self taught and a software engineer. The most help I got was reading open source code, which was pretty difficult to do when I started. My parents had no money for school for me, and I joined the military to try to get some education. That still wasn’t enough to actually get a degree so I had to work low paying jobs knowing I could do better while working side projects to improve my skill. I just recently caught up to what I should be making.

It’s common for those that took the standard path to think nobody works for what they got.

Your right to free speech is not violated by private censorship. Although the concept of free speech can exist independently of the First Amendment, the "right" to free speech cannot.
> In a letter to employees made public in October, Ms. Townsend said Activision had “exited” 20 employees and another 20 had faced disciplinary action. “We know there’s a desire to know about the outcome when misconduct is reported,” Ms. Townsend wrote. “Sometimes, there are privacy reasons we can’t share. But where we can, we will be sharing more information with you. We will also be providing you regular, aggregate data about investigative outcomes.”
