> Oda’s team took samples of sediment and wastewater that were contaminated with PET, and screened them for micro-organisms that could grow on the plastic. It found a new strain of bacterium, called Ideonella sakaiensis 201-F6. This microbe could grow on pieces of PET. Not only that: Oda’s team reported that the bacterium could use PET as its main source of nutrients, degrading the PET in the process.

Yes, please, and two other things:

Reduction of our resource-use is more important, and I’m not concerned about plastics suddenly having a shorter duration; we humans have been using biodegradable materials for ages. For example wood under proper care can last quite a while.

Sure, open offices were a disaster, I was mostly working at Google until 2013, and when I joined again later, all the walls were taken out to ,,save space''. I also think WFH is the only way to go at this point.
March 22nd is when Gamestop 4th quarter results are released. They should also release the number of DRS'd shares.

But to be completely Honest: I will be able to answer your question with more certainty in about 12 months.

That will give us 5 data points. That should be enough to get an approximate number of shares being DRS'd every 3 months.

Through all of the due diligence and personal research, I do believe Illegal naked shorting is taking place. I'm not here to convince anyone to buy GME, but the DRS number seems simple enough for the general public (short attention span--I include myself in that) to wrap their heads around. DRS is the elevator speech, so to speak, for me.

If someone were inclined to listen to me, I can do a quick 2 minute, back of the napkin calculation that may spark interest, using DRS.
It's fascinating how some people view on manufacturing is oversimplified.
Fish catching machine needs maintenance, it uses consumable items to work properly. To produce all of that there should be tools, transportation, mining, engineering and so on. There will be no state in any near term future when it would be possible to have work optional for any meaningful group of people. All the welfare we have right now is basically a subsidy (mandatory charity) of working people to not working people.

I believed more in "corporate welfare" when a corporation finds a way to create a free product for large group of people while selling something else. But closer and closer connections between the government and corporations made this possibility less likely from my opinion.
> Yes, but "people" also used the same arguments to describe the failure of facebook, snapchat, airbnb, amazon, etc. A sort of unsophisticated "these businesses are stupid/illegal/throwing money away" bearishness.

Those are entirely different arguments about unrelated companies. You seem to be saying that people have said negative things about things, therefore nothing important was being said about Uber.

Virtually every critic I've ever heard commenting about Uber as a business is exactly the one you have painted as having been unthinkable.
This misuse and abuse of methods will continue as long as you can make a big splash in the field.

The technical correction of the misuse afterwards can then be tacked on to the end of your article later, with absolutely no recourse or penalty to your career.
This can happen (speaking from personal experience). For a big/growing company you're interviewing for a position that's open in several teams which all can have different stacks. Which team you end up with depends on some internal priority.
Privatizing operations is not privatiying a monopolistic infrastructure. Europe opened up rail services for competition in the 90s, although it took a long time for it to be implemented. There are different models being used throughout the EU, the UK's franchise-model isn't really used very much. One common model is that a regional public transit agency contracts out operations of different parts of regional rail networks to private (or possibly public) bidders, and it´s pretty transparent to the users -- since the regional transit authority will ensure common branding and ticketing. It´s not a very "dangerous" model, since the public maintains control over most aspects of the rail network that matter, it doesn't really privatize gains and socialize losses, it just sort of forces a race to the bottom on the profit margins of rail operators.

When an operator goes kaputt there's temporary pain. But now the models are moving even so far that the vehicles aren't even owned by the operators, but the local regional authorities -- so then the operators have little room for making profit, innovating or doing any sort of interesting shananigans. But it does force a lean operation, keeping costs in control.
I've been operating 64-bit kernels and user-space for at least a couple of years for embedded and network and server usage and not experienced anything to even remind me it's 64-bit rather than 32-bit.

I've used both the original Raspbian 64-bit builds and plain Debian 64-bit with the few required RaspberryPi specific tools added in. Kernels are all self-built (cross-compiled) keeping up with mainline Linux.
They are still beholden to the whims of those who stand to benefit the most from the company making a profit, even if they aren't "shareholders" as such.
But most of his listeners are not anti vaxxers or racists, otherwise you wouldn’t believe he was a “dangerous” influence.

If the best his critics can manage are character attacks against him and his guests (which is mostly what I’ve seen), his listeners will not only continue to listen to his “misinformation”, but believe he’s trying to be silenced.

That said, I do believe he bears some responsibility to balance out the more controversial viewpoints, and he has stated he will. I would love to see him host two guests with opposing views more frequently.
Amazon Recruiting is indeed a disaster.

I got approached by an Amazon recruiter, and instead of just ignoring him, I decided to see "what's out there". I'm a staff SWE level at a decent company, so not exactly desperate to leave.

He proposed a hard time for a phone call later that week. I replied saying that I have conflicts at that time, how about we do it next week? Didn't hear back from him for a couple of days, and then he replied saying he's too busy next week. OK then, can you let me know when you're free?

Never heard from him again.

Sounded very unprofessional to me.
It’s been a while since I was studying this topic but if I remember correctly, there is fundamental problem of a lack of justification for operational definition in the whole field of psychometrics. This applies to most (all) personality tests including the big 5.

Because the whole theory is based around cluster analysis it is pretty important that you can justify the data that is going into the analysis if you want it to be reveling any truth outside of the model, otherwise you end up with what is called “junk-in-junk-out”. As far as I know, this justification is still lacking 40 years after this theory surfaced.

I think that the big 5—and personality psychology in general—might not have the same glaring issues as positive psychology. But solid science it is not. Fraud might be overreaching, but I would definitely categorize it as pseudoscience.

This may have felt very uncommon to the author, but most of the things I read seems absolutely normal. Title inflation is real at smaller companies. You maybe a “executive staff engineering fellow” at a smaller shop but at the larger companies that’s equivalent to a mid level dev.

I’d be curious to hear what the manager and team members thought of this move. Overall, the writing strikes me as someone who may have put the cart before the horse.

I hope it works out for the author

I understand what the word means. My point, which I thought was very clear, is simply:

If what the r/antiwork community attempting to do in promoting their position an instance of an (attempted) "transformation of a radical viewpoint into one that's palatable to the mainstream" ...

Then is not the normalization of an unhealthy addiction to overwork (as a kind of "virtue") -- arguably an instance of a successful transformation of a pretty much equally radical viewpoint?

In other words: "If theirs is a 'radical' viewpoint -- how did this shit we actually live under (and which is slowly killing us and the planet with it) get to become a 'normal, sane' viewpoint"?

This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life. I'm a big fan of Malcolm X.

The culture and will power of this man is something respectable.

> why I see a cookie pop up on every damn web page I visit

There is no regulation that requires every website to give you cookie pop-ups. If you are seeing that, it is because the websites you visit are trying to stalk you online and making the popups as painful as possible so you will dislike the regulations instead of asking them not to stalk you.
>Canadian here. Whether one sympathizes with the truckers or not, or has a more nuanced opinion,

Sure, lets put the trucker sideline aside for discussion.

>claiming that free speech was removed (implying some official stance) is hyperbolic. I will concede that the Charter is more vague than I'd like on where the boundaries of free expression lie.

The gymnastics of your following sentence proves my point.

Lets look at this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exce...

There are exceptions to free speech. Defamation/Libel, incitement to suicide, false advertising. I find all these exceptions to be reasonable or exceptions to speech. False advertising or fraud in general isn't the speech but rather something beyond the speech. Even obscenity in which porn or even death videos are not obscene. The obscenity exception is very tight.

So there can be legitimate exceptions.

In fact, in our law we criminalized 'advocating for genocide' which I suspect both of us agree can stay. Mind you, it has literally never been used. Literally only attempt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mugesera_v_Canada_(Minister_of... but wasn't even proper. Though perhaps we can agree deporting him was a good idea?

The very next rule is the problem. "wilfully promoting hatred'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Andrews

Supreme court ruled that it did violate freedom of speech but section 1 they made the exception against this scumbag. This is what we call 'best of intentions' and its good to stop that dude but what did it open?

When Charlie Hebdo shooting happened in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Hebdo#2015_attack

There was a reaction, especially on reddit, to stand up together against these terrorists. You will find however, NOBODY in Canada stood up. The few who did ended up in front of hate crime tribunals for promotion of hatred. Of which lets be realistic, this armchair not-lawyer... they were guilty. The problem was that hate crime tribunals know the line they walk. They dismissed virtually all these guilty cases because they knew when they go over the line they lose this tool. There was a unique feature of these hate crime tribunal cases. Every single group attacked were Conservatives.

What happened there? Standing in solidarity with victims of terrorists was indeed promoting hatred of islam. It was discovered in 2015 that you can use the hate crime tribunals to silence political opponents. Suddenly the Conservatives were all racists.

How about Comedians who make dark jokes? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55959133

Sorry, but Mike Ward isn't some white supremacist or something. These laws aren't about making people good people. This isn't about making people less mean jerks.

Free speech is officially dead until this is fixed.
> I however, I am not 'anti car'.

I suspect it is worth differentiating between `anti car` == `I don't want to need a car in my life` and `anti car` == `nobody should have cars`. I see both usages pretty commonly.

There is a more subtle boundary around opinion about how much city infrastructure should be manipulated to facilitate cars (or not), but this is difficult policy stuff.
As a person in the industry: Everything this person is saying is true.

We need a real solution to this honestly, it’s not enough to just kick up a fuss about game devs including anti-cheat and ever-more-invasive anti-cheat, but actually providing solutions people can use.

The economic incentives do not exist on consoles to cheat, so publishers are convinced that control of the platform is the problem.
I think parent means the opposite, that 4 decimal places is really high precision in a field with lots of measurement bias and noise.
Why would it need price-fixing? We basically provided a UBI of 5k as part of the pandemic and it seems to have worked relatively well.

If a position is critical enough it should probably be a higher paid position.
> Why give your future self that risk instead of looking for a higher base salary that is stickier over the long term?

You're exactly right. Signing bonuses - and even equity compensation - are designed to lower your TC over time. The idea is that companies offer a high TC to entice you through the door, with the understanding that at the end of your 4 years your TC will drop precipitously but at that point you'd be too invested/too afraid to interview/etc to leave.

This is why in nearly all companies equity refreshers are always significantly smaller than what would be necessary to keep your TC level. The point is to over several years converge you to a lower TC that is middle of the pack rather than the top-of-band packages FAANGs have to offer to recruit candidates.

It does seem ass backwards - and if you're an engineer who cares a lot about TC (IMO rightly so) and interview well, you will consistently cliff out every 4 years as a result.
This isn't responsive to my comment. I said "not directly comparable," which is true, because the dollar figures stated for TC have different stock growth models. I agree that current prices are the best available estimate of future performance (i.e., flat growth model) and the optimistic stock valuation Amazon uses is misleading and deliberately so.
10+ years ago Google offered gmail with custom domains for free. When they started charging e.g. the service you're paying $5 per month for the old users remained grandfathered into that free tier.

They changed that in the past few weeks, now everyone who's been getting free gmail with custom domain for 10+ years has to pay.

OP is wondering if they will start to charge for user@gmail.com accounts as well.
Great question! Complements in capital markets typically aren't as strong as other markets like event tickets. On the complements side, hedges are a good example. Market makers like banks are willing to quote much larger sizes for hedged transactions, e.g., an institution that wants to buy a large block of equity in one company while selling others with similar qualities as "factor hedges." The net notional changing hands is roughly the sum of the parts. Still, there's a big price difference between doing this trade atomically and as a series of transactions where the market maker has to "wear" the risk for some period.

Substitutes in capital markets are ubiquitous. There might be hundreds of candidate hedges in the example above, but given how trading workflows are, there's no way to communicate that amongst market participants. A market maker has no way of knowing if someone wants to buy SNAP (and thus potentially has market-moving information about it) or if they're using it as a hedge for a short position and would substitute something that the market maker wants to gross down on (and offer a more aggressive price because of that). As such, market making is a game of pricing under risk and uncertainty. Combinatorial auctions eliminate much of the uncertainty.
>> The funny thing is that a lot of people go around saying "yeah, engineers go around thinking they can just walk into field X and study it without context"

I have a degree in Anthropology and transitioned into UX Research. 90%+ of what you do is observation in both fields. Most of the engineers and math people I've met are horrendously bad at observing behavior.

In some fields, its just a different set of skills engineers are not capable of applying very well.
This looks good and in-depth. I like it. Thank you.
I think some institutions offer better security options than your standard 2FA. Stuff like requiring your account to authorize trades/withdrawals over the phone with a code word, using RSA token, etc. Not sure if $10M would meet the cutoff or not. Usually these are not advertised, but are something that you could ask your institution about.

Also, some institutions will guarantee your funds and make you whole as long as you didn't do anything wrong.
UBI is added on top of work so work will always mean you're better off.

Maybe the benchmarks game website kind-of does — source code size.

Otherwise "I only wish…" so — wishful thinking.

Otherwise "how idiomatic" seems to mean — how I would implement the program today, if I didn't care [goldilocks] too much about performance?

The inflation argument is one I don't know enough to be able to square myself. Don't fully understand how whatever the UBI is eventually reduces to being below the bare minimum of basic.

But, putting that part aside, the idea is that it's just the barest of basics. So if you have a decent salary now, the UBI that is 1/5th or less than that is not gonna help you pay your rent/mortgage that has gone from 30% of your salary to 150% of your UBI. People could likely realign their life though over time which would be massively impactful. Perhaps some would prefer having their basic needs met + working a very part amount of time for some spending money + engaging in a different core life pursuit. But, with that part taking time the market could presumably correct.

That's just for high earners though who can't currently just drop out / transition overnight due to present obligations. The folks who are closer to where a UBI would be putting them anyway it gets way more difficult. A negative income tax might work there, so that keeping the job is still more regardless of what that currently salary is. That flat UBI tends to have some problems in that regard. Then again, those same folks might be over night doubling their take home cash or being able to have no change in cash for a complete reduction in work and the temptation to just go to zero hours would be high (assuming they aren't in financial pain already where the current amount is still not enough). A flat UBI would probably need to be slowly rolled out. Basically get folks used to being more well off so that the flat UBI only can be appropriately viewed as less ideal than their (new) current situation.

Rapid React: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rapid-react

Hi, I am the Author of Rapid React and a Software Engineer at India's Largest Travel Aggregator, MakeMyTrip. I have 3 years of experience developing FullStack Mobile and Web Apps with TypeScript, React, React Native, Node JS, Express, etc.

At present, I work in cross functional teams closely with product managers, designers, testers and and engineers in agile sprints with daily scrum and handle the development, debugging, deployment, documentation and post deployment monitoring of our React and React Native apps and a Express GraphQL Server Gateway.

I have open-sourced Rapid React, a CLI Tool that scaffolds tailored React apps, drastically reducing the development efforts. Rapid React is available on NPM and is ready to use without any additional setup. I am sure my experience with developing and publishing a library on NPM would be beneficial to your team.

Till date, I've spoken at 4 Tech Meetups, staying active in the React and React Native ecosystem. I also have experience mentoring 5 Engineers on how to grow in the field of Computer Science.

You would find a detailed description of my work experience, open-source contributions, tech talks, technical skills, education, and soft skills in my resume. I'm more than happy to connect and further discuss your requirements and what skills I’d bring to it.
