Ask yourself the question, what are the consequences of not quitting? When the answer to that question is outweighed by positives of the corollary question what are the consequences of quitting, it is time to move jobs.

As with the stock market people tend to sell too late when prices are falling and sell too early when prices are rising. Sounds like you are waiting to "call the bottom before selling".
>Many rust belt towns are going through this right now; my mom grew up in a rural factory town in southern NY that once had a population of nearly 10,000 — 50 years later, that population is closer to 500. And still dropping because most of the lots in town are unoccupied, rotting homes left behind when previous owners died that would be torn down if there was the money to do so, but there isn’t and it drags down property values of everything in the area.

I do not think any city whether dense or not can survive 20X drop of population and remain livable. If anything surburban locations are easier to clean up - it takes only a few days to a couple of weeks to clean up single store house and lot.

Imagine the mess if New York population dropped to 400k people? There is no way to maintain subway, road network and all other infrastructure with such small population. Skyscrapers and high risers require constant maintenance and will be danger to others if left unmaintained. Decaying rural home is danger only if you are in it or on purpose right next to it. Blast radius of falling high rise is quite a bit bigger.
Does not even need to be that smart .

Reportedly 10-15 different answers from a "confused old man" are enough to waste their time.

So something similar with a bit of variation thrown in should turn that spammer advantage on it's head with the 65million spam emails getting 1million replies instead of 100.
Really interesting. I would argue that a lot of datapoints (maybe all) in fact do have a natural index. It is the fact if you are talking about Relational databases (every tables has a primary key). In a lot of scenarios it helped me a lot to think as the index as an associated pk of some database table.
One thing that is fun to think about in alternate history timelines is what if segregation had never really ended and carried forward into the Information Age?

Imagine different websites for whites and blacks. You thought responsive design was complicated? Imagine racist design. Perhaps we would have different protocols if a user was white or black. WTCP/WUDP and BTCP/BUDP? Imagine internet architecture being designed such that packets from white users would always be prioritized over black users.

Of course, some black hackers could craft VPNs to spoof your connection to appear as a white user and get faster speeds or access forbidden sites. Imagine white hackers creating viruses or cyber attacks but only against black hosts.

Really, really crazy stuff to think about.
That's the narrative being used to sow division, and it's not supported by data.

> Approving drugs based on wishful thinking isn't how the process is supposed to work…

This is not entirely correct. There is relatively recent FDA guidance addressing the balance of pre market and post market data collection.[1] I am aware the title of the guidance says devices, but note that the center for biologics evaluation and research (CBER) is on the guidance.

That being said, my opinion is that this decision by FDA is an abomination — the second extremely questionable approval on Woodcock’s watch — and never should have happened.

I agree and go even further that "something you have" is equivalent to a password. Even though "something you have" tends to be a public-secret key pair.
When you have a firm offer to start a new one in two weeks. There are other reasons, but a real different job is big as you never know when or if you can find a new job. This is a great time to look, but you might be the unlucky person who doesn't get an offer.

If you have a lot of saving you can sometimes risk leaving for a few months of travel, but give yourself plenty of time to get a job before savings runs out. (Different counties have different support for this so check to see how the rules work where you live )

If they are doing something illegal then if you don't quit when you discover it, that is because the FBI or equivalent asked you to stay on to gather evidence. Illegal covers harassment, though you shouldn't stay on if it is against you )

In general though don't risk not having income.

Ok, show me 1 documented case where a fat person has died of starvation while remaining fat, despite drinking water and eating at least 500 calories per day of reasonable food (to get some nutrients that you wouldn't be able to extract out of body fat). Show me one documented case and I will change my mind and agree with you that it's possible.
I read this as long-winded but ultimately good career advice.

In a truly dysfunctional company, you'll burn out and/or become a pariah if you try to tackle foundational, intractable problems. I've worked places with 'emporor's new clothes' level disconnections with reality. You seeing the problems others don't see is irrelevant.

Focus on things you can improve and small changes you can effect, and build up a library of answers to behavioral interview questions. Accept that your efforts will be undone and be focused on your long term goals, which do not include dying on this hill.

> On the other hand, people who have pragmatic and slightly selfish goals in addition to wanting the do good are more resilient. If the system change they envision doesn’t work out, they still have something to show for all their efforts. That keeps them grounded and calm for much longer in the same environment.
Except for the part where certain accounts would need to be hardcoded instead of dependent on the advertiser. Moving money is probably the most audited part of any code base and something like that would be a big red flag.
His turn as a “mild mannered reformer” is pure whitewashing (pun intended) of history. He was vocally radical and criticized heavily for it during his lifetime. It’s only after his assassination that people have decided to politely ignore his more pointed criticisms of capitalism and the military.

Here’s a choice quote he gave in 1967 in his “Three Evils of Society” speech.

> Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the protestant ethic of hard word and sacrifice, the fact is that Capitalism was build on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor – both black and white, both here and abroad.

Not exactly mild mannered stuff.
Also openly homophobic. But IMO these things only matter in that they demonstrate the man is human. We can’t reduce our impressions of people to one dimensional snapshots. If we did MLK would have been canceled already… so don’t do it to others either, especially on Twitter.
There's nothing that appeals more to right-wing nationalists than cop-worshiping vigilantes. On the other hand, there's nothing that appeals more to middle-class liberals than vigilantes that are wracked with guilt.

edit: so the result is that liberals project guilt onto the guiltless protagonists of rightist creators, or decide that the entire thing is a complex satirical statement.
One more general principle is that often a decision isn't as irreversible as it might seem. You could very likely spend a year or two trying to find a better fit at other companies, then return to this job, possibly with much better pay, and content that the grass is as green as the rest.

Also, something my brother told me years ago is, "if you're trying to decide between two things, try to pick the one that lets you do both."
Is there some obvious way (that I seem to be missing) to see that the centrally inscribed D-sphere must touch all of the other spheres in high dimensions?

That's probably a stupid question, but while that fact is intuitively obvious for D={2,3} -- as this problem tries to demonstrate -- higher dimensions are unintuitively WEIRD.
I'm pleased with the performance but I stopped short of quoting numbers, because hardware. If you compile and `npm run testPerf` on your own machine you will see a bunch of benchmarks that clock most operations in low µs.

(That also spits out ascii charts to visually make sure there are no complexity explosions. See https://tinybase.org/guides/how-tinybase-is-built/testing/ for example.)

As for maintainability... I have no data yet, since it's a couple of days old ;)
Article does not say how big the basic income in question was.
If you have access to free university or you can get a loan then by all means go get a degree.

Your existing programming experience will give you a head start in a few courses.

Most importantly, it will be easier for you to get an internship while studying and you will get exposed to real world software engineering in a hopefully successful software company.

The degree will also make it easy to relocate across the globe. Some countries require university education or many years of experience to even let you work there as a software engineer.

Not obvious for higher dimensions or even D=2? Surely you agree the center of both circles (regardless of dimension) occur along the line from the center of the cube to one of the corners. Therefore, if you just radially grow these spheres they must touch for the first time along this line. To be clear, this is nothing special about the cube, if you draw a line between the center of any two circles, the first time they touch will be somewhere along this line. In this case, the inner circle is obviously along the diagonal and it doesn't take much to see that the outer circles are as well by their construction. Therefore, the diagonal is the line that connects the centers.
OLEDs can display true black whereas standard LCDs cannot. If the black regions are compressed and blacks become something close to black, but not quite, it looks bad on an OLED as that region is illuminated. Netflix appears to compress blacks very heavily, so you end up with large rectangles of slightly different dark shades, none of which are really black.

I'm not an expert on panel technology, but I think because LCDs have a backlight, the issue isn't as pronounced there. It just kinda washes out.
I agree on the test thing. Would've been helpful for the creator (if they actually wanted to create something that would teach people who are new to it) to review educational techniques employed by people such as Michel Thomas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fDO4IuO-M&ab_channel=Audio...), programmed instruction (behavior analysis), and transfer of learning.
Potentially a typo in there - one of the cases must be odd?

And I agree. I've been at my current job over a decade, and there have absolutely been rough patches for which the main thing carrying me through was getting to work with good people.
Learn on your own time, if you value it and can't make it part of your job. Nothing beats working with good people and you can't take it for granted.
In the worst case, and this is pretty rare these days, yes, adding two floats is a function call, but without memory allocation.

Integer division or multiplication of long (64bits) can also force the compiler to inline a bit more code or even to call a function on older architecture, hardware division was not a given on ARM before ARMv6 I think, so for example on the Gameboy Advance or even the Nintendo DSi you had to be careful with division etc.

But again, this will only slow down your code if you're not careful, not generating memory leaks silently in the background.

I think this is a mistake. By not acknowledging any natural immunity you give them tools to promote their anti Vax side because natural immunity does exist but maybe not for covid or depending on variant. Completely dismissing it is bad.

We have antivaxers in Switzerland as well, (quite a few saddly). However they have to dig very deep in the conspiracy bucket to fight their stance. Natural immunity is not talked about by the antivaxers but this doesn't mean the state gives natural immunity the same level of protection as vaccinated. If you have natural immunity you only get a 6 month certificate vs a year if you are double vaxxed. After that you need to take a anitbody test to get a 3 month extension or the booster shot. 2G+ is only valid if you had covid less than 4 months ago or the last shot.
Just to clarify my comment, I was answering your second paragraph: it seemed to ignore to me the context of the original related Bible sections that started the discussion.
Finding one scene of violence (and I have no idea what happened there) is meaningless. We can find scenes of violence after sporting events. There were violent protests during the civil rights era too, and the enemies of civil rights exploited it in the same way with the same language.

The question of violence is how often it occurs on a broader scale. I live where there were many, many protests and little violence (and often the violent ones were outsider instigators and criminals looking to create it, not civil rights protesters).

Forget the idea that owning the token represents something. Buying an NFT just means you bought the NFT itself; it does not mean you bought the image, have access to the image, bought any rights to the image. It just means you bought the NFT.
Not if it’s a pump and dump. The DAO collected a couple million dollars of other people’s money and used it to win an expensive auction, thus “proving” that the idea is worth lots of money. Now their second DAO can collect even more because it’s been legitimized.

The real weirdness is that bad local policy has led to uneven inflation, so our cultural 'anchors' of luxury are all thrown off.

A luxury car? We've gotten 10x+ better at making those since the 1950's, so ofc it's cheaper.

A trip to the Maldives? Same.

A reasonable house to live in? Well, we've sort of gotten better at making those, but not as drastically, AND we've decided to make laws that make it harder to build more of them anyway.

Lot's of fun hierarchy of needs debates to be had from that.
If those match up with the clients, RUN!
This is the answer. And don't worry about applying logic to it: Do what you want to do, and will make you happy. Do it intelligently: Don't quit your current job until you have a new one secured. Don't burn any bridges. Don't accept less than your current salary. But do it.

The truth is that most people make their decisions emotionally, then explain and achieve them rationally. That's okay. Do what you want to do, not what you think you can justify.
Due to conversion, minimum wage in Brazil is now $217,18
Correct, only one person needs to draw.

The hard thing with digital is the spatial aspect. I like a big canvas to write on as opposed to the feeling of being confined to a screen. Note that even if the screen increased, it still is more cumbersome. I still use digital drawing programs for creating artwork so I’m not opposed to using a digital medium for drawing.

The other aspect is it allows you to step away from screens altogether and approach a problem in a more tangible way. I like standing in front of a whiteboard and taking in the flow if data or mockup and tweaking. In these instances, I’m not sharing my camera, it is purely a thought process for myself.

Plenty of high-end art investors never move the art from the specialized vault where it was already stored. The only change is a new entry in the public art registry. Seems like the receipt is carrying a lot of the value in that case.
A link to the actual research paper would be helpful.

In this experiment, what amount was given to the treatment group that received basic income? How often? How does that amount compare to the cost of living in their city?

> ‘It’s sometimes said that people will sit around doing nothing if you give them free money.’

I’m not an academic, so take this with a grain of salt.

If my job requires menial labor or involves getting berated by customers (many retail jobs), personally I would absolutely not work.

My spouse worked for the state government as part of a benefits/disbursement program. She took phone calls from benefits recipients. Some who are disabled, on unemployment, or generally within the states bar to qualify for tax payer aid.

The pay was slightly above minimum wage. My spouse quit after about a year, during which my souse constantly suffered from verbal abuse and even callers who didn’t qualify threatening to murder my spouse unless they received cash from the state.

My point is - there are plenty of jobs where you absolutely will quit and not work if the basic income can provide a sufficient substitute.

I’m not making an argument against basic income. I suppose it’s sad that we as a society treat a significant number of people, even in developed countries, without a shred of dignity.
Nyxt Release 2.2.4
I did learn from the Hillegass book -- the first edition released in I believe 2002. I also had a couple of old NeXT programming manuals, and had done a tiny bit of NeXT work in the past. And I agree with the others who said Apple's dev docs were better back then. But really Aaron's book is what got me started.

AWS TOS Clause 42.10: Zombie Apocalypse
I think it's always safe to start looking, start preparing, start marketing yourself when you don't really need to. Especially when you feel the way you feel now.

That way you have a feel for the waters, see what's available in terms of tech stack and team culture/vibe, with a much longer runway of looking around than when you are pushed off the cliff on a dead-end project, where you know it's the last straw. You are less stressed this way.
I strongly suspect that the lion's share of UBI would go directly to landlords or existing property owners.
> I mean known in the crypto community. Surely a random person in the street has never heard of most crypto celebrities, but that wasn't my point.

It might be due to my misconceptions about the crypto space then, but I always assumed people just kinda "pop up" relatively often (even if we just constrain this to within the crypto community). The whole crypto space seems to be very very "fast moving" to me, if that makes sense?

Back to the monkey avatar NFTs: I was under the impression those also just popped up. There's obviously a "ramp" towards reaching popularity in any community, but that ramp seems to be short (within the crypto community). Also, people will invest in any crypto-game/nft for promise of future profits, regardless whether they believe in the product/nft; they're going for coverage. This is fine for people with cash to burn, but there's more victims than heroes in the get-rich-fast crypto rush. Or is this perception wrong (it might very well be)?
Pay me enough to live without working and I will quit my job and work on a moonshot startup/interesting tech all day. Most likely nothing will come of it, but I won’t be working

> Cynically I think there has been a political project to expunge most of King’s ideas from the public memory, leaving only those that everyone is comfortable with.

I don't think so. I think it's more that things get distilled and simplified in public memory naturally. How much of all of all the activities of other greatly-remembered figures are actually all fully remembered and talked about? Do you think the public has anywhere near a complete perception of all the ideals of Gandhi, Mother Theresa, George Washington, or Abraham Lincoln?

Unless you are a scholar in the area, you have done specific research out of curiosity, or you have been personally affected by it, most of what you see is the stuff that echos in the public memory, which is the largest events and purest distillation of the ideals and character of the person in question. Human memory is built on patterns, symbols, and stripping of what seems to be unnecessary extraneous information, and this seems to be much more extreme in cultural memory.

I don't think there has been any conscious effort to remove the other ideals that King had, it's just not what he did that people care about most right now.
discoverability on netflix has been incredibly poor for many years. i don't want to dig through infinite feeds of twee-sounding categories your algorithm came up with. i don't want to see what you think i want (a bunch of cheaper derivatives of things i've already watched). i want to look for specific things in specific categories and find them.
i don't even recommend movies on netflix to friends and family anymore because now it's a coinflip whether they'll still be available. but the most damning indictment i've witnessed is that my technologically illiterate parents have simply gone back to getting dvds from the library.
Yes it would.

Look: we just went through a massive worker shortage caused by overly generous stimulus benefits and rent subsidies. Have we forgotten already?

What am I supposed to believe? A microfoundations paper from a field with infamous replication problems on one hand, or, on the other hand, common sense and my own lying eyes?

Of course UBI would reduce propensity to work. Only people with an axe to grind can seriously believe otherwise.
