Genetic testing can identify carriers, so if Tay-Sachs has been (mostly) 'vanquished' from the Ashkenazi community, it can be 'vanquished' completely.

You rarely need to disprove things. You need to prove them.
Right. But most lawyers and doctors work (let say 95%) is
routine work. The problem with fields like law / medicine, is that you invest heavily one time (I.e. at school) in a fixed body of knowledge (law or medicine) in order to enjoy life time of protected earning.

Note that the earning are protected mainly because you invested the time , and not because of some union.

The Achilles heel of those professions, is that the body of knowledge is constant, with very long half life. But this also make it ready for automation.

With AI, the destruction of those professions will be quick, as they will get destroy from the bottom. I.e. Even if AI make existing lawyers twice as productive, it would mean that you would need half the lawyers. If AI will make them 4x productive, you would need 25% of lawyers, etc.
Using Google Tag Manager doesn't mean you are using the server-side tagging. You have to configure it in your account. It is something you have to pay for. If you read the instructions on https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager/serve... you have to have GCP billing setup to pay for the App Engine instance running the server-side tagging proxy.
Context and common understanding does matter. Innocent can mean many things.
So this is only a problem if the person thinking of visiting their neighbors' or friends' house has an issue with it. Why can't I install such a system if I want to? Why does it matter that 90% of households use this system?

In fact, because 90% of households use this system, doesn't that mean society at large agrees that this is an OK thing to have? We all opt for wearing clothes only because society at large has agreed that wearing clothes is a requirement; there is no law of nature mandating this, and select small groups of people congregate in nudist colonies to escape from this societal requirement. Even on the non-private side, if I don't like clothes, why should I be forced to enter government buildings (for official government business such as court appearances) with them on? Surely society shouldn't be forced to make accomodations for me, just because I have a different opinion on these topics. If 90% of households did in fact use such a system, it would be the new normal because it's a nearly universal collective opinion on the technology. A society almost never caters to those that are the ultra-minority if it inconveniences the 90% or directly challenges the 90%'s own freedoms and choices when it comes to their lives, especially when that's in regards to something as low-impact as what sort of privacy visitors to a residence have while on that property.
How can it be legal for a government to make increasingly core services depend on these amoral, for profit monsters?

Good Lord, we'll have to sacrifice Google, Facebook and Microsoft (and probably the two As) to the Gods, I'm fairly sure Facebook is certainly worse than fast food companies.
Why would everyone voluntarily stop hunting? People don't go out and run ocean trawlers every day for their meals, they buy it at the supermarket, and for most the source is irrelevant.
I think almost anyone could learn to code, but they get to the doing of it and find out that they don't want to. Most people don't want to plan, do logic puzzles and problem solve all day, and when they figure out that, that's the majority of it in type form and some meetings thrown in, so you can do it in groups... the movie romance dies away pretty quickly.

WTF! There's no cool 3D graphics and hacking while we listen to techno music?!? This is a bunch of dudes typing all day after going to a couple of stand-ups and messaging on Slack and clearing out bugs on JIRA. This sucks. I'm out =P

Unfortunately, it's an average 2x slowdown, and sometimes much higher. This is significantly slower than work from 15 years ago, such as CCured [1] (see section 8), which was still too high to achieve widespread adoption. CCured also had the advantage of not requiring special hardware.

The best dictator is the one nobody listens to.
Very few comments in this thread talking about what he concludes as the most likely scenario- "decreased investment". Just what will happen when the Fed is forced to raise interest rates? What will happen to the unprofitable unicorns or even unprofitable public unicorns, much less all of the no-name startups burning VC capital? Surely not every Uber is going to get the Amazon treatment and allowed to keep burning until it finds a way to profitability.

Of course, if ZIRP is reversed, who knows what will become of the economy in general.

A supply factor that this article doesn't consider - a big chunk of the new wave of graduates are software engineers in different parts of the world. And building a team in those countries will be a big trend. Rippling did this well, building a team in India. That should reduce the comp in the Bay Area.
Interesting thought experiment. If I already had tech knowledge it basically wouldn’t matter where I started because I could exceed that amount in earnings right away.

If someone was trying to reboot their career, going somewhere like Thailand with low cost of living will extend the runway. $5K won’t cover expenses from start to self sufficiency, but it goes a long way.

However, it may be best to drop into the largest cities you can afford where you already speak the language and can get out and socialize. While you technically can learn tech career fundamentals and then get a remote job entirely from the comfort of your laptop, in practice it’s much easier said than done. Building in-person relationships and getting in-person jobs is the quickest way to accelerate your entry into a career because you can soak up so much more experience and more quickly build a network by physically being with people.
Despite efforts to make the job of programming easier, the reality is that it has just expanded the scope. The cloud made it so you had to learn cloud computing in addition to Linux management. Containers add a whole other vertical of problems. It just goes on and on. The need for expertise doesn’t go away with more abstraction
If “for loops” are removed from public domain
My friend was bullied by a 3rd grade teacher - harsh lectures and detention. He a shy kid, never made trouble.

I had my own experience with a hostile grad student teaching a required course. He would get exasperated trying to find faults with my homework.
Why does selling the data matter? If it's fine to collect but not sell it, people would already be fine with Google Ads tracking as Google is solely in possession of that data and will never sell it, lest their competitors gain an edge by out-header-bidding Google (offering higher profit margins to sites) with Google's own user data.
All of the U.S. now has no indoor mask mandates and is basically open. All states and cities that still had those removed them on Thursday, February 11, all at once.
That's not even the half of it. It's not only building a record of who came in and out, but what they did, where they went, what or who they "engaged" with in the house, and arbitrarily more granular information. And the person visiting your house, on average, has no clue any of this is happening.
There are lots of H-1B doctors in the small towns and rural areas that are typically underserved by larger hospitals and networks.

https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/foreign-...

> Just over one-quarter of doctors in the United States were “foreign-trained” as of 2017, meaning that they received their medical degrees from schools outside of the United States.

This is one of the challenges of the H-1B visa and that tech specialities are dominating the lottery it makes it more difficult for other areas to get doctors willing to work at, well, rural doctor rates.

Wow, a lot of these comments seem to misunderstand that this is 95th percentile amongst people who participate, not people who practice actively. The article is mostly correct.
Pool sizes and opportunity vary. Once you are part of a bobsledder team you are in a limited group where bobsled track time is available. You could already be in the top 200. To be in a top 200 lawyer you would need to beat out a huge pool.
In 1982 on a Sunday afternoon, after the shops were all closed, and you’d already read yesterday’s paper, and last months Practical Computing your options for passive entertainment were limited to TV, radio and books.

I don’t think we had more ‘capacity’ for long reading, unless by capacity you mean ‘time on our hands’.
Most professions are learned and mastered after people finish high school, so that's clearly not true.
I don't know if it will happen, but a thing that needs to happen that will probably tamp this down: Liability, and/or other real consequences, for bad programming.

We have this for construction and other fields, and it's basically nonexistent here.
As we’ve seen time and time again it’s T-cells that actually matter.
How are you going to block it "trivially" if you don't know which script to block? They recommend changing the name of the GTM script, and paired with changing the content slightly, you won't be able to tell which script is GTM and which is actually important to the functioning of the site.
I completely agree, most of the Major Websites (TM) are as user-hostile as it gets. But, the "bypasses" (to try to encircle all approaches with a single term) would require constant vigilance and updates, the ever-lasting game of cat & mouse, not to mention possibility of lawsuits or other shenanigans by the said Websites.

Honestly, I'd donate certain amount every month and support the effort, if it was a very wide-service/website encompassing, and would give logical end-user easily/very customizable behaviours within options, easy for the everyday Joes, and that it wouldn't treat its power users as garbage.

And here's an idea for a starting recipe for every website: a library of set of actions that would run on the first visit and would result in decline/block for each and every cookie category and "partner" (and no, there is no such thing as "legitimate uses", GTFO), since most websites either roll their own ot customize some existing solutions (from what I see), but usually invert/dark pattern options and choices to a certain degree (usually "to hell").
All this is doing is redirecting data you already submitted to a website to Google?

I don't see any of this as particularly new or revolutionary. Except the implementation, user data was already being hoovered up.

Now it's just pipelined better.

if you were worried about your data, you have to stop submitting the data to websites. Period.
if it's anything like where I'm from then you can't practice with a foreign license unless you convert it to a local one. the same organization that make a cap on the number of doctors/lawyers is the one that allows or reject the license conversions (permits). so foreign labors as a loophole does not work.
when there were attempts to remove this the doctors went on strike. the justifications is removing the cap on number of doctors by allowing foreign labor would increase the variance in quality of the doctors and increase the risks to the patients.
People have been predicting that outsourcing would lower US salaries and take US jobs for over 20 years and it hasn't happened. Nothing is different now.
As someone with a computer heavy job and hobbies, I’m pretty impressed I’ve held onto better than 20/20 sight into my 30s. I’ve started to suspect that it might have something to do with having ADHD and the corresponding moments of distraction leading to above average amounts of eye movement and related refocusing leaving the eye “better exercised” than more attentive peers. While it’s just a data a point of one it’s always struck me as a fascinating hypothesis.

Unfortunately I’m in computers not medical research or I’d have considered proposing a study, but I look forward to the day someone else diligently studies it and I get an answer to my personal pet theory.
The median salary for software engineers is not that high. Still ~double the median household salary, but it's not the only profession that yields that.

So you were not completely wrong.

When I said that I was thinking of a story from 10 or 20 years ago where a bunch of people were increasing their bandwidth by hacking their cablemodems, and they all got raided. I can't seem to find the exact story right now, but Google returns a few similar stories.
`git diff --staged` is superior. For one, you get all the options to `git diff`. For another, it has no side effects, unlike `git commit --amend -p`.
Programming skills are more universal and don't depend on the country. Whereas lawyers and doctors have different standards and laws to operate on. It would be tough for immigrant to justify to spending 4-7 years studying laws of another country just to take a chance with H-1. If you fail to obtain that you virtually unemployable by your country and need to spend more time learning laws of you country
20 matches is my high after spending 20 minutes with it. I think I could probably get that to 30 ish with another hour.

Obviously you should not be rotating, but finding features of the shapes that are invariant with respect to rotation to calculate. We can think of the two middle segments as defining two coordinate axes which I'll just call the body, with the remaining segments the legs.
There are three cases.
1) both legs coplanar with body: W, question mark, and O.
2) neither leg in the plan of the body: The lightning bolt, and the forklift.
3) one leg coplanar with body: Z with leg, Hook with leg.

Unfortunately, the lightning bolt, Z with leg, and Hook with leg are all chiral, (and are therefore more likely to appear, reducing the effectiveness of this heuristic), but just guessing among matching classes is sufficient to get 20 matches. A quick test of chirality could maybe do better, but I suspect it's most just about speed of guessing after this.

edit: 32 is my high score after playing for an hour. Which is at least higher than the brute force clicker guy's score, so I feel like I can be done. The human brain is very good at optimizing its solutions to this problem.
Your honesty is relatable and refreshing.
Yes.

Some many times, some one and done.

Some for understanding history, how things got to be how they are, _why_ things got to be how they are. Smalltalk, for instance.

Others to learn a new thing. The Rust Programming Language was my latest.

Books used to be the way that knowledge was transferred. A lot of that went away with the Internet: Stack Overflow, MDN, cppreference, etc. But I still find that I learn differently reading a book than I do walking through an online tutorial.
I sincerely hope people are not stupid enough to think this is remotely a good idea.

Folks need to pay very careful attention to the Republican playbook; like many public services, they're absolutely deliberately running public education into the ground, because privatization is very profitable. I wish more understood this very obvious play.
I am loving this.

One thing, the position of the backspace and enter keys is the opposite of wordle and that's confusing, esp if you play both.
(Sorry for the late reply.)

Yeah, I think this is reasonable. IANAL but I have the impression that manipulations like these would go under "fraud" -- most debatably the last couple. The OP was about pressures to establish laws and norms that are more open to interpretations:

> we also seem to include some more flexible offenses, such as “brainwashing”, “propaganda”, “manipulation”, “deception”, “misinformation”, “harassment”, and “gaslighting”. Again the key is that these tend to be defined less in terms of what exactly was done wrong, and more in terms of a disliked result.

so I just wanted to object to a claim in this context that "manipulation" actually is open-and-shut. If I'm right that your last couple of examples are where "manipulation" leaves more discretion to enforcement than the "fraud" standard, then I don't think you're disagreeing much with the OP on this point (though probably you are on whether this discretion is excessive).
Man, that's a great idea

It’s not hard to make a living writing code. That’s why people with a high school education can do it.

Obviously it’s not for everyone, but it’s also not reserved for a select few who have had a life-long passion for messing with computers.

Look at the medical profession where there are tiers of expertise / earnings. Not everyone can be a neurosurgeon, obviously. But many people can make good livings. And the profession attracts many people for that reason alone.

> It seems like you could replace tech workers with any other profession that sounds like a good career choice.

Yes, that is exactly what is happening.
All of modern science is built on the philosophy that you can only reject the null hypothesis, not prove the positive hypothesis.
> yet a another example of how C# is becoming a dominant systems language

Perhaps a bit of a stretch. I am currently choose golang for a more systems like project because of startup time and gc pauses in c#/dotnet. Definitely nice to see nativeaot which should address the startup time issues.
Also if you aren't filing your state taxes.
multiple reasons

- it's hard to make declarative UIs with C# (recent versions try to make it easier, but it's still not there)

- making UIs is hard, making game UIs is even more hard because there is no rule to make a UI, it depends on many factors (art style, game genre, platform you target, input you support)

- making something customizable, serializable and performant is very hard

you are better making your own that suits your need, hence people rely on 3rd party solutions that exactly solve their use case

How so? They tried to provide the people stationed there with a place to worship. If they didn’t, wouldn’t that be persecuting them, since they may not have a choice in where they are stationed.
>> Higher salaries mean less profit. It’s just how the game works.

This is a false premise. As a counter argument it would be easy for a rational CEO to pay higher salary if the net incremental ROI on that salary is positive.

Then there are second order benefits. A players attract A players, and so on. So you have to also consider the non-financial ROI on the higher salary to attract the best talent.

There is a reason why the top companies are willing to pay higher salaries ...
This is absolutely false. I became fluent in Japanese in my 30s. Learned guitar in my late 20s. This is so wrong. You can continue learning until you are dead.
> I think almost anyone could learn to code, but they get to the doing of it and find out that they don't want to.

I agree with this 100%. I think most people could learn to do our job, they just don't want to.

People frequently tell me they'd like to change careers and they've been eying the software field. I explain that it's one of the best lateral jumps to make as we have all of the resources necessary to learn available freely online. I then suggest they spend one evening a week programming a video game or building a website -- some kind of self directed project. More than half of the time the person I'm telling completely zones out and loses interest. "Hm, maybe..."
UK local newspapers have been bought up by a company called Reach. Most of their sites look the same. On my laptop visiting their home page is burdensome on my laptop.

Looking at firefox's network tabs. It mostly completed after 41 seconds and almost 9MB. In the article pages there are adverts dynamically loaded every couple of lines of text

An article page from that site ,e.g.

Yeah that would be a useful service that Mozilla could offer and I'd actually pay for.

I don't like their VPN as it's too basic in terms of privacy protection and it's much more versatile to just sign up with Mullvad myself because then I can use it on other stuff than just the browser.

> The main use case that comes to my mind is when you want to deploy a proxy in an environment where the developer needs full oversight of the proxy internals and doesn’t want to learn the particulars of configuring any given proxy software suite.

Yes, when does this happen? That's what I'm trying to understand. You've provided some possible feature benefits to a DIY solution but you're really just trading NGINX internals for YARP internals here. At first glance, to my eye, one of those is going to have better community support and documentation.

> Additionally, YARP is cross-platform capable, so you can run the same proxy on Linux, macOS, and Windows. NGINX doesn’t even provide that, for example.

Yes it does? You might need to elaborate because this is just incorrect but I suspect you're trying to make a different point.

> In terms of customizations, YARP is more like “what feature do you need to build in” than “how do I need to configure”. You can quickly build a simple reverse proxy and just about as easily setup a full load balancing solution, but the simple use case doesn’t need to include any of the code for the advanced use case.

My main issue with this idea is that the average consumer of this is going to be better positioned to handle the engineering hurdles of writing their own advanced use cases.
