I've advised engineers to rewrite code before, mostly for resume building to help jumping ship to somewhere better.

If a company doesn't have a stock-based comp and sticks to prevailing wages/CoL there's no incentive to help the company succeed. Especially with non-technical management, the best thing to do for ICs is often to aggressively rewrite (in the language that's trendy right now and that better companies use) and get promoted by showing off a significant output. Then jump to a better company having spent a year training on their stack at the previous company's expenses.

"Further, Federal applications cannot rely on network perimeter protections to guard against unauthorized access. Users should log into applications, rather than networks, and enterprise applications should eventually be able to be used over the public internet. In the near-term, every application should be treated as internet-accessible from a security perspective. As this approach is implemented, agencies will be expected to stop requiring application access be routed through specific networks, consistent with CISA’s zero trust maturity model."

Less suffering for some of us, at least in the physical toiling sense and in the short term, but with more humans on the planet than ever before, and so many servings to funnel wealth to a minority, I reckon we’re still collectively suffering quite a bit, with more to come as climate change exacerbates weather extremes and aberrations. And then there’s the suffering of non-human animals. What we’re doing doesn’t feel like progress if I value ecological resilience through diversity, deep connection with the environment and my community, and a history unbroken for thousands of years.

In general, our natural gas costs are overwhelmingly for heating - house heating in winter, and hot water. Our gas per month expenditure in the middle of summer is perhaps 20% of winter.

My guess is that our gas stove costs rarely exceed $10/month, maybe less than that.

I would recommend checking your gas bills for mid-winter and comparing to mid-summer. And then take into account any other gas users in your house (clothes dryer? hot water heater>).

More likely than not, the vast majority of your gas costs (especially if you live in a place with cold weather!), is similarly going towards heating, not stove..

> It does not define intelligence. The author acknowledges that of course intelligence is not everything but does not define it. I think a better take would be to define intelligence (as the article implicitly does but explicit is better than implicit)

From the article:

>> Or, in some tellings, no one knows what smart is, it’s some sort of ineffable quality we can’t pin down, or the very idea of “smart” is a racist Western imperialist hegemonic heteronormative con.

So the author clearly rejects the idea that smart can't be defined, but you're absolutely right, they never actually define it. Instead, they sneak around it with stuff like:

>> And in fact we are very good indeed at creating instruments that measure whether you can read or write or do algebra. It’s just that their results are socially inconvenient.

While I don't doubt the author that there are people out there who think the idea of differing mathematical ability, that certainly isn't a common position, and the author here isn't standing heroically for a correct but unpopular opinion by saying "some people are better at math than others".

But... being good at reading or writing or doing algebra, is that really how the author wants to define "smart"? Especially when they also say:

>> I’m not naturally talented at math. I don't like it but it's true. And easily quantifiable.

If the author considers themselves smart without being talented at math, then who cares if we're good at creating instruments that measure whether you can do algebra? What does being good at algebra mean beyond that?

I agree with you, if the author wants to say "duh, of course being smart is a real thing", then at least tell us what they mean by "smart". Is it really nothing more than "good at school", which they seem to conflate it with.

Anyway, a more interesting question is, "is there only one kind of smart"? This site is full of people who are really smart in one way, but remarkably dumb in others. (As is every forum). Just like the author is smart, but still bad at math and programming.

I think the failure characteristics are pretty easy to understand.

They'd fall into two categories:

- Sudden loss of power

- Mechanical failure that results in unscheduled disassembly

As these crafts have no aerodynamic surfaces like the 3 other things you compared them to, the first category would result in the rider falling from whatever height. (Minimum altitudes to successfully deploy even a BASE parachute are higher than one might think.)

And well, the second category should be self explanatory. An explosive failure of the stuff strapped to your back would just create extra excitement or death before proceeding reverting to the first failure mode.

I wouldn't try paramotoring without doing at least a 6 month paragliding course first. Which in fact I did when I was 21. After I saw a colleague make a judgement error, fall from 30ft, hit the ground and jump like a soft ball I became stressed during flight. He had flown a DHV3¹ paraglider though and was not experienced enough to fly that wing. Current DHV1 wings are much more safer and very performant compared to 2000 era wings that we've flown. Shortly after the fall incident a guy I became acquainted with died during a competition. I just gave up because it stopped being fun. My instructor had an accident with a powered hang glider few years afterwards. He still has a bad limp to this day. He has always been very safety conscious and had at least 25 years of prior aviation experience, parachuting and paragliding, when his accident occured.

Anyway, I find paramotors quite offensive because they make an awful lot of noise and smoke and the pilot's position is quite unnatural compared to normal paragliding because the motor pushes him or her forward. Maybe when we'll have electric paramotors under 10 kilos things will change for the better.

Its interesting to see the parallels between this and the subreddit r/blackpeopletwitter, which began requiring users to verify with mods that they pass the "paper bag test" in order to participate on the forum. Even the rationality for doing so sounds exactly like this quote from the article regarding Giggle, simply replacing "black people" with "women":

> "We wanted a place where women could go to help each other," she said in an email. "A female space, in the palm of their hand. Where women could find support, connection and a refuge amongst other women no matter where they were or what they were doing."

And yet the reaction to the two seems to be divergent. We've clearly stopped caring for eliminating discrimination and now are hellbent on fostering discrimination, so long as its discriminating against the "right" groups. Hard to keep up with what groups are "right" to discriminate against on any particular day, though. Seems like a race to the bottom to me.

You yourself said we're talking about a few thousand people. The idea that losing that many people all at once (within the space of a month or two), especially during a time of increased hospital usage, has no impact on outcomes (which is what you appear to be arguing), is asinine.

The best way to beat Neil Young is to be more popular than him. He's failed at this before. He wrote a song called Southern Man which got some airplay, but Lyrnyrd Skynyrd wrote a response that ended up being far, far more popular ("southern man don't need him anyhow") and ultimately Neil Young ended up regretting his original song because he realized it was condescending.

It would seem to me that your comment only really applies to C or C++ or other similar languages. Modern JavaScript compilers can compile and run code orders of magnitude faster than what was possible fifteen years ago. Many languages have seen dramatic compiler improvements.

Maybe the problem is that making big improvements to a compiler for a fifty year old language that sits pretty close to the metal is getting increasingly difficult because the people writing the compilers are running out of clever tricks.

The north star for most countries and cities has always been cases over hospitalizations or deaths. With vaccine intake high in most developed countries a covid infection is like a cold or a bad flu for some. I think the time has come to rethink this goal of cases being a metric to shut down everything and let society return to some sense of normalcy while still maintaining a safety mandate for those with special conditions(who could potentially die from covid).

Another thing to note, the CDC has mentioned that cloth masks are not effective against omnicron, I know this firsthand as my whole family wore them and we all spread it to each other as the masks did not stop the spread despite hospital levels of disinfection and extreme precaution. With that being said most kids masks are cloth and surgical masks or n95/kn95 masks(cdc says these are effective) are not made for little kids. So whats going on is kids are forced to wear masks that will not protect them against omicron.

Lastly, although the sample size is low my daughter and other kids in her class got covid and had zero symptoms or very minor ones at worst(they were all fully vaccinated) so I wonder what is the benefit of these extreme precautions that don't really seem relevant based on government health declarations(cloth masks don't work, kids[who don't have serious medical issues] have good protection against covid due to age).

As usual, flying is easy, but landing is hard. Someone commented on a previous generation of jetpacks that "knees are terrible landing gear".

What are they using for a turbojet engine? One of the great frustrations of light aircraft is that nobody has been able to make a cheap and reliable jet aircraft engine. It's possible to make one small and light enough, but they don't seem to get any cheaper below 6-passenger bizjet size. NASA put some effort into this in the 1990s, and Williams tried, but all that happened was that bizjets got a bit better.
What I'm trying to say is that the Federal Reserve is not owned by the US government and instead owned by all of the chartered banks. So having 1B of mortgage backed securities go from being owned by JPMorgan to 'The Federal Reserve', just means it's more evenly distributed across all banks, not that 'the government' now owns the debt.
I would say "raised by a measly $7" is far more misleading than percentage terms.
> They're still aircraft after all, at the very least you're going to need pilots license.

I think a reasonable interpretation of the promise of jetpacks would be more like the "ultralight vehicles" category (as it's called in the United States). These vehicles require no registration or pilot certification. Some are fairly traditional rigid airplane designs (just very small and lightweight), but the category also includes powered paragliders (AKA paramotors) and some of the smaller powered parachutes.

Where I grew up in the US these were fairly common to see in the air, and no one thought it was odd that they didn't require a pilots license. Perhaps for many people in many areas the regulations or different, and it strikes them as absurd to fly aircraft without a license?

Not a recruiter or HR but do read quite some CVs nonetheless. My take for software engineering:

* keep it simple. I want to scan your CV in a minute or two to see if it is worth reading. Skip the fancy fonts, images, charts or flowers etc.

* I typically go work experience > recommendations/achievements if any > summary/profile > name, stop. If I'm not having my next meeting in 5 minutes I may go education, remainder I often not read. (sorry)

* I find skills and education worthless often and skip when I'm in a hurry. People inflate skills and using a skill in a 5 person company is very different from an enterprise. Education these days doesn't say much in Europe. No top colleges like MIT.

Often the only thing that really matters to me is work experience. It allows me to judge if you're used to our kind and size of problems. In a talk I'll learn how fast you can learn.

That having said. I can imagine for a design related job you want people to express themselves on their CV.
Leslie Odom Jr. Teaches You Philly Slang (2021)
[ EDIT: other commenters response to this comment made me go look up some original research on the topic. As a result, I fully retract what I've said below. I found several papers that report substantial restrictions of airflow from wearing a correctly fitted N95 mask.

I was wrong, and I apologize for the misinformation. I did try to explicitly say that I was not doubting someone's experiences, but I apologize for appearing to do that too. I've left the text up because that seems more honest. ]

I do not want to seek to diminish your very real anxiety and panic issues.

But you should be aware that there is no actual reduced inflow of air due to mask wearing, certainly not one that you would detect physiologically. In 2020, there were numerous demonstrations of this, both with actual measurements (lung volume, blood oxygen etc.) and with more anecdotal illustrations such as vigorous exercise even while wearing multiple masks.

Your mental conditions matter, and I hope you are able find ways to live reasonably happily without too much anxiety.
Isn't intentional misinformation a contradiction in terms? Perhaps you meant to say disinformation?

Bosnia still has the mark. It’s an interesting link to the past.

Initially the mark was pegged to the German mark at par. Since the replacement of the German mark by the euro in 2002, the Bosnian convertible mark uses the same fixed exchange rate to euro that the German mark had (that is, 1 EUR = 1.95583 BAM).
