In both NZ and Australia all returns/refunds and most warranty claims can be done through the retailer who sold you the product. Part of doing business in these markets is being the middle man between the manufacturer and the end customer.

And some times they're altered without any obviously-visible indication like differing number of tracks or "edition" naming, e.g.:

- MM..FOOD? (2004) [RSE0051-2] where "Kookies" samples Sesame Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RYCLfGE-_Q

- MM..FOOD? (2007) [RSE0084-2] where "Kookies" is totally re-recorded with a different and non-infringing beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iYSwvdEfeY

If you use a streaming service you're hearing the latter and might not ever realize the former existed. The re-record is a fine song, but the original fits much better with the rest of the album.
Anecdotal, but I am a HM. The process goes I review cvs with senior engineers, we filter, 1 tech interview to validate cv, one with me to validate decision. Done. 3rd interview only for someone who would be a HM themselves. To be fair, if we could validate that cv is accurate we would not even need the interviews. Junior people are our responsibility to develop, senior you can understand their fit with some key indicators. I believe the detail in recruitment either reflects lack of trust in team or focus on accurate placement of people, which does not lineup with my expectations about how a team of creative people should be run.
Right? MIT-NOATT would be much clearer. Make it obvious it's about a single difference. MIT-0 reads too cool/"clever".
I agree that this is distasteful, however one could argue that capitalism is working in this case (it just doesn’t usually work as fast as people would like). Who’s going to buy a Visio TV anymore? Or a Samsung? Those companies are on every techie’s shitlist, and from there the word gets out (through reviews and word of mouth), that eventually normal people stop buying them.

I still find the replies to my personal experience very baffling. I didn't say what anybody else should be doing; I didn't present it as a universal truth.

It seems very clear to me that there is room for a variety of workplace types. Strictly in-office, hybrid, and strictly remote.

In over 20 years, I've never used vacation days for an interview. I just either 1) called in sick, 2) needed to stay home waiting for a repair person (your internet is having trouble!), 3) had a few doctor's appointments.

that doesn't make sense.

If they are being denied a promotion, then they're doing the same old job as their male counterpart.

If they're paid more, are they being paid more for doing the same job as their male counterpart?

You can rent virtually any durable good of value. “Power” has nothing to do with it, ownership does.
Considering the executives at these companies are mindless automatons, they will view declining sales as a signal that they need more "smart" features (ie: third-party integrations to provide alternative revenue streams) rather than an indicator that they need fewer "smart" features.
I personally was going through a large binder of old backups this week that's been in my parents basement away from sun for 15 years.

Black Iron Prison from Philip K. Dick
I enjoyed one single week of office work after four years of being fully remote, and plainly expressed my preference to continue being remote a majority of the time.

I also don't interrupt others in the office, thanks very much. I've worked with those sorts of people (who hasn't?) and I resent them as well.

You enjoy being remote 100% of the time? Cool. I think there is clearly room for a variety of employment arrangements: fully remote, hybrid, fully in-office (yuck). I think you should do what's best for you.
> I think it's pretty clear a lot of people use Netflix and YouTube and it's incredibly obvious that they wouldn't want to add an extra $100 for a lesser (read: non-integrated) experience to use it on their TV when the TV can do it natively. Of course I'm going to connect my TV to the internet, that's the only thing I use it for.

A decent Roku can be had for $25 on discount. I think it is $35 regular price. And I'll bet it's better than what most smart TVs offer. I haven't used modern smart TVs, but several years ago, the inbuilt apps sucked. Netflix is more likely going to update its Roku app than some app on some TV. Indeed, those friends of mine who bought smart TVs 10 years ago got burnt by this within 2-3 years of purchase.

Another way to say that is symmetry and compressibility are essentially synonymous. Any redundancy in a system can be compressed, leading to a reduction in size. Thus, the ability to compress a system is essentially finding what symmetries you can exploit in the system to reduce the representation.

In my opinion, the reason why we see so much symmetry in nature is because living things are always trying to balance an economy of "source code" size (DNA) with expressibility and/or versatility.

I think compression is kind of the overarching generalization but another type of symmetry commonly run into is composeability ( f(g(h(...(x)))) ).
These roles pay a huge sum of money, so there's a lot of worry that someone will be hired who doesn't really meet the bar, you know?

In defense of #1, I've read
that retrotransposons can be irrelevant to the function of the cell. they survive random mutations through making more copies of themselves, so mutations will select for retrotransposons that A) increase their number of copies and B) don't harm the fitness of the host. they don't need to actually benefit the host to survive selection pressure. if they do, that's gravy.

I suppose they could also survive selection pressure by hurting the organism if they're not expressed. for instance, by capturing a vital protein-coding gene from the host, and arranging things so the transposon must stay active for the gene to be transcribed.
We don’t even need public transit to be that good. Just make busses more comfortable, run more of them, and start running catenary so we can phase out diesel fleets - that would solve 50% of the problem in my experience.

>Where’d this nonsense that the only thing you can build in the US is SFH come from? All over the US, in the same areas where there are SFH, there are apartment complexes, condos, and townhouses.

Because it's very often true. Many neighborhoods that have apartments and townhomes mixed with SFH are full of grandfathered-in buildings that would be illegal to build under current zoning codes, due to setback/lot-fill/height/unit-count requirements etc. In fact, one reform idea I'm particularly fond of is allowing (e.g. at state level) any property to be rebuilt to the existing use (so that people aren't living in decaying, unhealthy buildings).
The strategy is a greedy one. You're maximizing the one-step-ahead information gain. But this can end you in a spot where two steps ahead, you're only left with low information-gain moves, or at least, lower than you would have if you had planned better. Why not unroll the search a few more iterations and pick the move that maximizes average information gain k steps ahead?

The Visio business model was always to sell units at a cheaper price (ie lower initial margin) than competitors then monetize the user post-sale via data and adverts. If you bought a Visio television and didn't realize this, you didn't do your research.

It's a legitimate offering in the market for those who don't want to spend much. I purchased a Visio TV for my bedroom, where I only use Plex and therefore expected very little interaction with their ad platform (I was right).

To some extent, perhaps it's analogous to poor vs. rich people buying boots. Someone living paycheck to paycheck can only afford cheap boots, so they wear out quickly. Someone with money to spare can afford the high quality boots, and they last years.

Similarly, someone with a flexible, relatively good job is more easily able to look around and find an even better opportunity.

On the other hand, it takes some courage and risk tolerance to step out from the day to day grind and find something better, even if it could ruffle some feathers. That's not something that comes naturally to most people. Break some eggs to make an omelette.

what do you mean by "~1 SNP?" one de novo amino acid substitution? or inherited? we have millions of variants.

the redundancy of codons - several codons code for most amino acids, and one-base-pair changes are often synonymous or will code for similarly-charged residues - provides some protection.

on the other hand, if you have a mutation in, say, a non-coding intronic splice site, that can really fuck a protein up. I got unlucky there.
Now that is a critical distinction—actually only one half of a single full human genome—one human “haplome”.

If you enjoy web programming, and would like to pursue it as part of your career I have a few suggestions:

- you are correct that many companies would pass on your current background if you went out for an open developer role.

But they pass on many qualified people as well. There is some baseline amount of software engineering knowledge expected by most companies though.

By your own description is likely you don’t have it yet.

- changing careers to something that usually requires so much practice is less of a switch and more of a wiggle.

- The fastest way to wiggling in this direction could be:

- pick a single web backend language and tech such as Python and Django (which has a lot already included and mature documentation) and start making practice sites about plants or whatever interests you.
- do it until you are just competent enough then start applying for contract roles using upwork or other IT hiring platforms. Price low, get a gig and figure out what you have to, going off the clock if necessary.
- do this for up to a few years, increasing your rate as you grow. Learn vanilla JavaScript es6+. Learn how to host your own stack on EC2 or digital ocean.
- make small contributions to open source projects. Conduct yourself professionally and politely in comment threads about issues you file or PRs you offer
- prepare for brutality in hiring, it’s a lot like raising money. Often a difficult experience even if you’re great. Apply to many companies, learn what you are looking for and be honest about what you know and don’t.

Your “I used that once for” type stories will eventually become very useful, because it is helpful to have someone who has seen problems manifest in many ways, regardless of how poorly you solved them back in the day.

It is not easy but it can be done. You will have to work for it, but you can be paid decently well up until you convert to a FTE.

Or just do something with plants. If you can make life work and do that, maybe do that.

If you think that a hiring manager can judge technical skills or culture fit then you are very out of touch. If you dont know that people lie in their CVs you are completely out of touch - must have been very lucky with your career.

And I dont say that so many interviews are good. But again this happened for years.

> That's the theory. The practice is that much of the "older housing" is by now 50 or 60 years old, twice the design life,

Not sure where this is coming from. 60 years old is 1960s. Across the US, particularly in older cities, plenty of houses are that old and much older (family members living in a 1930's house). As long as owners maintain it over the years, it should easily last longer than 60 years. Even in my relatively younger city, there are plenty of 1960's houses that sell about the same as the 2000's houses.
While integers with addition are an additive monoid and thus commutable it's still also a valid multiplicative monoid (or semigroup as described in the parent) and handy to be able to be passed to code that just needs an associative closed operation, maybe with an identity value.

Integer addition is a magma, semigroup, monoid, and group. It's _also_ a commutative version of each of those structures, but we can still definitely use it with functions only expecting multiplicative structures just fine.

The issue I take with using + for a multiplicative monoid like string concatenation is that readers of code should expect it to be commutative. Using x or * is probably better, using ⓧ is mathematically nice but a pain to type, so something like ++, <>, .., or some other new operator just for concatenation is imo best.
