Storing my credit card details permanently should require separate consent. Even if a credit card is used to verify my age, once they've seen it one time, they should delete it unless I tell them to store it - it's not like I'm going to get younger or anything.
Silicon Valley’s supposed obsession with tech-free private schools (2019)
I do all my development on a baremetal OVH machine. $80/mo. SSH+tmux from all my computers so I can keep going.

I tried keeping my configs in source control but it always went out of date over the years. Dev-ing on a dedicated server has been easiest.
I worked at a spinoff company that actually had DEC Alphas for the purpose of running Win NT. We never actually did though, running our VMS versioned product on it instead. Later I canibalized about 3 or 4 machines in the office starting with a Digital PC with localbus graphics to get a hardware platform capable of running NeXTSTEP 3.3. Ran it for a few weeks and it was totally worth it. Got to see what Xcode would be like way in advance.
Cool and straight to the point, really nice! Providing a way to send links with the student name selected would be nice and the 'syncing to server' messages changing on the student part is very distracting, maybe show it as "connected" and only change it when something goes wrong?
> Speaking of which (and continuing to troll)-- anyone know why the lower-case "other leftists" in Barcelona boxed up the photographic evidence of their existence and sent it to the UK instead of the USSR for safekeeping[2]? I mean if the forces against fascism were "Communists, Etcetera" why not send them there?

You are confusing Communism in Western Europe with the communist state of the USSR and its Stalinist doctrine of socialism in one country [3].

The Belgian Marxist economist Ernest Mandel argues in "From Stalinism to Eurocommunism: The Bitter Fruits of 'Socialism in One Country'" that when Soviet Union in 1924 abandoned the goal of overthrowing capitalism around the world lead to development of what later was called Eurocommunism [4], with their democratic way to social reforms.

> The biggest salary negotiation mistake I see is when people assume the negotiation is of the first type (one-off, never see people again) instead of the latter type (part of an ongoing relationship).

That depends what you're negotiating. As a counterexample, if you negotiate a big raise upfront for your promotion and then "coast" for 5-10 years, you're still better off than negotiating a series of smaller raises every 2 years, because you forego the overhead of multiple negotiations. Personally, I'd rather just focus on the work.

Negotiation is costly if you're not good at it. It's easier to justify your value once, than multiple times. Due to anchoring, and people getting used to the increased output you bring, it will become harder and harder to negotiate as you go further.

Better to do it once, but do it right.

Both of these sound like areas where Amazon's "API-interative first" approach would help?

The memo text:

> All teams will henceforth expose their data and functionality through service interfaces.

> Teams must communicate with each other through these interfaces.

> There will be no other form of interprocess communication allowed: no direct linking, no direct reads of another team’s data store, no shared-memory model, no back-doors whatsoever. The only communication allowed is via service interface calls over the network.

> It doesn’t matter what technology they use. HTTP, Corba,
Pubsub, custom protocols — doesn’t matter.

> All service interfaces, without exception, must be designed from the ground up to be externalizable. That is to say, the team must plan and design to be able to expose the interface to developers in the outside world. No exceptions.

> Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.

This is extremely common in most big cities if you talk to the police about their opinions.

The sum of the money supply in 2H2020 and 1H2021 is similar to the money supply in 1H2020, so I don't think the fact that inflation kicked in 2H2021 makes your case. Also note the money supply was higher in 2H2020 and 1H2021 than in the semesters previous to 1H2020. Besides there's no contradiction in inflation lagging an increase in money supply.

In addition, wage growth not being high doesn't prove money supply didn't contribute to inflation. Inflation and wage stagnation can happen.

> Money supply growth probably has some impact on deflation not happening two years ago

Similarly to my first comment, this needs to be backed, you're simply stating it.
I’ll share my story here of multiple switches. I switched to tech in my early career, worked 5 years or so, and am switching to Registered Massage Therapy as I apply to med school. I’ve also always had long term plans to become a Christian pastor.

I’m switching because first of all, I have the financial luxury of doing so. Secondly, because, as another person said, I feel like it’s my calling. My meaning and purpose in life that was missing from a tech job that I actually really loved, but wasn’t spiritually fulfilling.

Life is short, and money is only one part of the equation, so we’ll see how it goes from here. =)
Well yes, in capitalist countries generally rich people can get away with a lot of things others can't, in fact you can broaden that to any country or organization really. I'm well aware of what went on with Epstein, and if anything that goes against the idea that he's all powerful and can get away with anything, otherwise why would there have been any case against him in the first place?
2022 is an election year. Crime is a perennial wedge issue.
Excellent description of what's happening.

Just look at all the mentally crippled people who resort to psychoactive drugs in order to quell the raging dissonance within them. They know something is wrong, but they've been conditioned to accept the system...so the only remaining culprit is themselves...and the psychiatric machinery is there to convince them they are sick.

When I was struggling to confront our harsh reality, I just thought I was depressed. Those around me convinced me to go to the doctor and they played along. This scenario is playing out everywhere. People are being told they are sick when it's our society that is sick.
> In other words, she has no idea what bandwidth or server costs are and doesn't realize Vimeo is definitely losing money on distributing her videos

Why is Vimeo using an unsustainable business model here anyway? Oh, right. They wanted growth. This is in the same vein of the bait-and-switch that Blockbuster Video did in the early 1990s. Grow unsustainably and hope you can snuff out your competition before you run out of funding.
I just listened to the latest atp.fm podcast. I think John said that it actually is two adjacent M1 max dies. The Ultra can’t be made from two random working die. They have to physically be adjacent on the wafer.

I don’t know if that means it’s physically one due though.
I like the way you say that. I was going to say that Ann can push to split the pizza 7-5 if it is OK that she is being an a@#hole. If not, she should split it 6-6.

I think the author makes a good point in the article, but he should have at least mentioned future ramifications.
Yeah, $60k is closer to the amount that I was complaining about having already paid. But you're not wrong; I'm just trying to keep the greater good in mind. How about: "Try to consider how much you and your family will benefit from the improvements made possible to society and the economy by redirecting billions of dollars from loan payments to other spending."
when the collective no longer seems interested in providing basic guarantees, the individuals will turn on each other. not because of a moral failing, but rather morality is a function of incentives.

the sf city government is a failed-state kleptocracy beholden to the inertia of the political machine and rich landowners who shortsightedly vote against their own interests, in a massive region with no regional governance, in a state kneecapped by antitax demagogues abusing the initiative process, in a nation whose already rickety performance under decades of neoliberal austerity and privatization was then intentionally reduced to rubble by a TV star, and his replacement has pudding brain.
There's a need to operationalize things like collapse, to quantify it and model it.

Otherwise it's too murky and subjective. Sometimes governments collapse with little consequences for everyday life, and other times government structures stay in place through upheaval.
At first I thought the idea of trees (or plants in general) communicating something out of the esoteric corner.

But over time I read quite a bit of interesting reports on scientific experiments showing a few interesting ways plants communicate information towards other plants.

The book added to that. It was really an interesting and mind opening read.

Has anyone in here read Sapiens? That book argues imagination was the differentiating factor. Basically the limited liability company unleashed people’s ambition and that started in Europe. And lead to the Dutch and British war funding
It seems evident, to me at least, that Asimov views "arms-length extremism" as a core part of the identity of upper case Leftism, at least in the West (and predominantly America). The way Asimov approaches 1984 appears to be the bog-standard "Well, if you're not a Nazi then you can't possibly be as evil as the Nazis". It betrays a view of looking at politics from a standpoint of a slope, rather than a hill that descends into immorality on both sides, and I'm sure Asimov derives that view (as does much of the modern world) from the reasons behind and outcomes of WWII. IMO, we still haven't gotten past this - even entertaining such a discussion can't be had without acknowledging the 'progressive Sword of Damocles' hanging overhead, and almost always descends into whatabout-whataboutism.

I really do hope that we eventually grow out of this phase and acknowledge that even the 'good guys' can be evil, we shouldn't need to wait and see a Communist Reich to know that the Leftist version of brownshirts are a bad thing, or wait until actual genocide is happening (or accept/ignore it as a possibility, even) or wait until it has a 1-to-1 mapping with Nazi atrocity to hold those kinds of behavior accountable just because they're not Nazis and they're not actually killing people.

Why file an insurance claim for petty theft when there's high insurance premiums in the area? Forget it - the time and effort for paperwork, and reporting, and paying premiums is greater than what you'll recover.
Not exactly TODO but I do something similar.

I have a directory with text files and images named like: 2022_03_20_1_short_description.txt or 2022_03_20_2_config_screenshot.png

The names are mostly to group images with related text files when I grep later.

I create the file at the start of each work day, write a few lines of TODO for the task I'm working on, and whenever I copy-paste something that seems relevant - I paste it there and leave it with a few empty lines as separator.

If image is better I screenshot only the relevant part and possibly add some notes with paint and save it in that directory.

When I investigate some error I paste stacktrace there. And when I find solution - I paste the link or the git commit or JIRA task or description.

If I do several unrelated things in the same day I sometimes create several files, but it doesn't matter that much.

It saved me A LOT of time. A quick grep and I have all the context of some error that last happened 8 months ago.
I don’t understand the problem people have with pointers, they are an amazing tool. And the negative attitude towards manual memory allocation just seems like laziness to me and even suggests a lack of understanding for both what you’re doing and how computers work.

> if the treasury department sells bonds on the open market, the federal reserves prints money to buy those bonds, then the treasury department uses that money to pay interest on bonds held by the federal reserve; did anything really happen?

I'm sure the treasury and the fed don't go to all that trouble to achieve precisely nothing. And I'm also sure that they have not found a way to achieve some positive result with zero downside or side-effects. That only happens in bedtime stories.

Is California known for low taxes or being anti-tax? I don’t live there, but as an outsider, I have the exact opposite impression.

So some cops lied in New York about something unrelated... so they must be lying about well-documented phenomena in Los Angeles over an entirely different issue. Not only that, but they must be somehow incentivized to do so.

I don't find that argument convincing.
> If you’re good at passing ‘standard’ interview processes then it’s probably fine to skip this one and maybe you’d wish they’d go for the same process as everyone else. If you suck at the standard ‘algorithms’ questions, maybe you’d be thankful that something else exists

This is a good point I didn't consider. (I made two other posts in this thread criticizing the process)

If someone is going to spend hours revising for another kind of in-person interview due to their discomfort with the prospect, and would rather invest the same time in providing written answers, they may view this as a better alternative, and that's fair.

I don't know enough about the overall process to understand if putting good work into the written part gives them a break on other parts where they may otherwise not perform well. And I still think that making everybody do this is asymmetrical. They could ask everyone to do it and assess them algorithmically for example, wasting huge amounts of peoples time.

Maybe if it's given as a choice vs a "get to know you" interview by a recruiter, and it's explained how both are equivalent?

The point of bail isn't to keep people who shouldn't be released in prison solely because of their inability to pay -- it's to help ensure people who are safe to release show up for their trial. People that should not be released on low bail shouldn't have higher bail -- they should not be granted bail at all.
Not sure what the big deal about asking for high school achievements is. To me that seems to be done to be inclusive of people who didn't graduate college, which seems entirely reasonable to me.
Unlikely that Walgreens files a report each and every time someone walks out with a few sticks of deoderant. They probably just log it and send a monthly report to the insurance company.
I don't really like this critique, mostly because, in my opinion, it fails to understand that 1984 is a fictional book. There are some parallelisms with Stalinism and other tyrannical societies, yes, however they are only there as part of history in that world. I would say it failed to recognize that 1984 is more of an essay about human nature, more specifically into the desire for power above everything else. I really don't think Orwell had planned to make a "reflecting" story, something like "Woah! This was about Stalinist Russia all along!".

The critique failed to understand that, I think.
I don't think I can be productive with \r\n line endings.
I'm not sure why you got downvoted to hell, you seem to have just answered the question.

That does seem a bit high for data science positions, which IMO are relatively underpaid compared to data engineers or engineers. But also, IMO, most data science programmes produce vastly under-qualified data scientists, so maybe it's proportional / fair. I don't know.
If you don't report the problem the problem won't get fixed. This is for social issues as well as software issues.

The FPS was closer than double. The flawed benchmark the 3090 had double.

I'm not sure how the lower power RTX variants compare, maybe that's a closer comparison, has there been a review against those?
Massive online learning/examination system, fewer places in university, reserved for people who actually are going to be professors.

Everyone else sits at home and just learns the stuff and does the exams while driving an uber. It will take a lot less time to just jump the math hoops than to do four years of half holidays, eg my total university time was actually 96 weeks but spread over 4 years. So a couple of years of doing that and people can see you can learn stuff.

>Serious question - have you ever been poor? Are you aware that sometimes people have to work at shitty jobs because they have no other options?

OP was talking about the problem from a practical perspective (ie. "We really need farm workers", presumably worried about a future where there aren't enough farm workers and we starve or something), and I was addressing that in the same way. Your objection seems to be from a humanitarian perspective (ie. how can we provide a minimum standard of living to non-STEM workers?), which is valid concern, but ultimately not relevant to the original problem.

>And, if employers really would "be forced to pay higher wages" as you claim, why are all the restaurants in my city still short staffed?

combination of:

1. stubbornness/price stickiness

2. belief that it's better to hold out in the short term and wait for the labor supply to return, then it is to give out pay raises now. Wages are sticky, which mean wage hikes would turn into ongoing expenses into the future.

3. belief that the raising wages would raise prices, which would decrease demand and ultimately make the business worse off.

>I'm not claiming to have a solution but claiming "the market will fix it" seems like such a cop-out, like telling someone god will take care of it.

The market seems to be working just fine in my area. Some restaurants have shut down. Some have raised prices. Some have decreased service. Which is the right approach? I don't know. The restaurants that took the right approach will win out in the end. In the meanwhile I'm still able to eat out.
Clearly the data is inaccurate so guess we have to go by our gut that this is an increasing problem?

I don't know, definitely don't trust myself to not notice something a lot more when it becomes a big thing in the media.

Why do you think there has been this sudden uptick in under-reporting? When did it start?
"the people stealing from retail have very likely had more of their labor stolen than they’re lifting"

I'm skeptical of that. Do you have any info on the demographics and work history of the perpetrators? I'd imagine that many are younger and may not have worked enough to have this be true.

Even then, I doubt they're stealing from the company that stole from them, and it doesn't make it right.
Given that Apple devices already have 2-3x premium, as long as Apple absorbs the extra cost, people would be fine with it.
