Ughh here I was at 1:30AM after a hard week, checking the news one last time before going to bed, and see this. I hate this dang industry and regret ever becoming a tech lead. I know the Heroku engineers have it worse and all, but just venting.
I did Galvanize in the first half of 2016. 6 month program that I’m glad I did over some of the shorter ones.

Salary was 90k coming out. I make 125 now, could be making much more but I chose to sacrifice some salary to be at a place with a mission I support.

I was a special ed teacher before and had never made more than 70k.
What’s stopping you?
The effect of income taxes is not simply to disincentivize work like one would imagine. Top talents who are able to afford the cost choose their tax residence due to income tax. Even in the US, it would influence people's career decisions about where to live/work. Businesses also take the taxes into account when choosing countries/states to invest or build facilities.
I'm currently on a naltrexone/wellbutrin combo. I started it to try to finally end an infinite binge/purge cycle I find myself stuck in (an eating disorder). I also have depression/insomnia and had been self-medicating with alcohol (really, I just drank to relax -> drank to fall asleep -> didn't fall asleep -> drank more). I wouldn't say it was a lot compared to what you think of when you think of an alcoholic but it definitely fell under the category of binge drinking nightly (~3 beers a night). I had reached a point where I figured it'd be good to stop (after reading about how easily one can develop a Thiamine deficiency) but found it... not easy. I could go a few days but living alone, wfh, etc made me really enjoy my post-work/before-bed beer ritual - it felt like the only thing distinguishing night and day.

The medication has helped all 3 issues, a lot. How much it's worked is incredible. I don't know how hard it would've been to stop alcohol without it, but I'm sure I would've failed more before succeeding. Honestly, I'm more impressed by how it's helped me manage my relationship with food. I've spent the last 15+ years obsessing over food. I still think about it far more than people without eating disorders, but my self-worth is not tied to whether or not I eat. I think my mood was better managed on my old antidepressant but things now feel... how I think "normal" is?

That said, I do need to get a medical bracelet of some sort. My doctor didn't mention exactly how naltrexone worked and it wasn't until I stumbled across /r/alcholism_medication that I realized that if I got hit by a car or had some other accident, was unconscious and administered opiates - they wouldn't work, and being on naltrexone could have harmful effects if I underwent emergency surgery if the medical personnel were unaware of my prescription.
Could it just be a case of an over-enthusiastic headline writer? The article body says "treat" repeatedly; never "cure."
> Not really. Doing it right means adhering to the left’s idea of what is right.

A good counter-example to that is South Park. They make edgy jokes that offend everyone and have withstood criticism from both the left and the right.
Why on earth would you believe an industry that’s committed to serial mistruth?

Reuters today disgraced themselves, it’s beyond embarrassing.
I like this idea. My first job out of university, this was actually what they did.

Though many companies don’t care if you’re familiar with the specific language they use, because they assume a decent developer can pick up a new language, and if someone weren’t familiar with that specific language it maybe could put them at a disadvantage. Or maybe that would actually be a good test of their skills??
If you read the paper, it is not an accident at all. It was an intentional program where 14% of households fined under ACA received a letter to tell them how to enrol. A little sad the US Govt fined the rest but didn't provide this info to them.
I put that such a clear awareness of this phenomenon will alter the way it continues to happen going forwards.

i.e. this is so plain to see that it'll somehow change its own dynamics.

this is specially accute due to political implications (e.g. campaing managers who understand this and thus instructed Trump to resemble Reagan's rhetoric until the point when people somehow start to catch on to this manipulations by means of, for example, this and similar articles)

...but maybe I'm too generous (or optimistic) about the capabilities of "the unwashed masses of people"?
Which would be ironic since Nfts cannot be censored (they exist on a decentralized censorship resistant database)

At the hight of the workstation era, where Sun generally ruled the roost.
You've got to compare what you got with a workstation vs. a PC class of the era.

The PCs of now-a-days are light-years ahead of what PCs were available in the Workstation era, so much beyond that time, that nobody can think back to that time. This comparision kind of smears some time frames together..

So, in the early 90's , Sun was starting to ship 4-way MP, and 8-way MP. In 95, they introduced 64-bit CPUs just as PCs were really starting to use 32-bit computing. Typical speeds were from 50MHz - 400MHz in this time frame. At the high end you could get up to 256MB of RAM.

Sun Frame buffers at the time were doing 1920x1080 resolutions. (or slightly higher, but granted, a lot of these high-res were black & white in the earlier time frames).

They came with multiple fast/wide SCSI drives, tape drives, etc.

They all came with the vendor's unix. System uptime was usually quite good, months to over a year.

You did have some vendor lock with what software was available, but generally Sun was top of the heap, every vendor had something available for Sun.

Contrast this with PCs at the time.

State of the art PCs were 486 running 50MHz-75MHz, with 8MB of RAM. Maybe 32MB if you wanted to get Windows 95 going.

Video was VGA at 640x480, again not much need for more until after Win95 launched.

Hard drives were IDE, a whopping two if you were lucky. While SCSI existed on PC, it wasn't very common.

Linux and *BSD didn't come out until 1992-93
Even then, uptime of DOS systems or PC unix at the earliest time frame could be measured in days. You had to get _just the right_ hardware to make things work together.

By the end of the '90s. Workstations hadn't progressed very far. PC's grew by leaps and bounds, catching up and surpassing workstations handily.

PCs were actually fairly stable and the PC unix could give you really decent uptime.

But in the before the explosion of PCs, if you wanted power or uptime, or graphics, or disk speed, etc. etc. compared to what else was there, Workstations were the way to go.
We didn't forget. It's the same problem, but morphed and magnified by social media.
> If you need to gate keep your team members then I’d question the strength of your team.

I'm sorry, what?

Review is a gate for everyone, and is a sign of basic project maturity. WebKit, Mozilla, Chrome, LLVM, Linux, etc are all review gated projects. No change is landed - can be landed - without review. If you're questioning the strength of those teams I cannot imagine what your team would need to have on it??

I mean, when I sell my $2,000 in SP500 ETF and have gains of $1,000, it’s pretty nice paying $0 in taxes versus $200-300.

When my neighbor who runs a small store sold it and paid a lower tax rate, that was pretty cool too.

When my friend who is a real estate agent deducts a bunch of costs from her commissions that seems reasonable.

Not like this is exclusively the realm of the rich.
> Is it putting forth that local governments shouldn't be controlled by the people who are local, or is it saying that homeowners hold more power than renters?

It's that the NIMBY subset of homeowners has disproportionate power in local government over other residents.

> If the former, that's just silly. If the latter, renters get the same one vote per person as everybody else. If they don't care enough to vote that's their problem.

This is facile -- zoning decisions are essentially never put up to a democratic vote. The outsized NIMBY power doesn't come from voting; it's from activities like attending local government functions, filing complaints, advocating to their representatives, etc. These are not things everyone has time or know-how to do.
Antabuse is a way to stop drinking for a period for whatever reason, maybe you have surgery in two weeks and the doctor says you must stop but you can't. No one in danger of having seizures from withdrawels should suddenly stop. I took Antabuse when I wasn't a very bad alcoholic and I stopped for two weeks. Later, when I was much worse, I would shake in the morning until I got a drink. At that point cessation therapy would be dangerous. I did a medical detox.
I missed the part where they had high speed wireless internet and social media networks in the 18th century.

Technology has enabled us to have artificially wide reach and memory. And then they digitised it, made it searchable and opened it all up to the masses.

Don't like a person and they have Twitter? Guess I'll dig through their Twitter feed and find something objectionable they posted when they were 16. While I'm here I'd better make sure all my like-minded online "friends" from all over the globe pile on and try and coerce their employer to fire them. For good measure, let's find their address and make it easily accessible online.

Technology has a transformative effect on the things we apply it to. Let's not pretend that trying to shame people in the 21st century using freely accessible communication networks that span the globe is the same as monkeys shaming other monkeys.
Successful speculation is still luck. The point is that the person who purchased the land may have gained value far in excess of the improvements they made or the capital they provided. Under a LVT the community and government which gave the land value will capture that.
Have a noisy mind? I have solved them completely
If you are, you have come to the right place.
(Not for advertising purposes; I simply want to share my real-life experience and my journey why I build Pentime app.)

So, let me guess:
I think you have tried some ways like mediation, talking, walking, exercise, etc., but there is still some noise in your mind, right?

Yes, the answer to solving all of this is clarity!
I always had a lot of thoughts and questions in my mind, about my career path, my job, my studies, my family, my relationship... What should I do next? Who am I in the next 5 years? Is my decision right?
-> All of these thoughts make me feel noisy in my mind.

And then I've found a way, and it was completely changing my life! By just writing down all my thoughts, whatever it is, every time I feel overwhelmed.

It works like magic! I can now take back my life, control my thoughts. By having clarity, I know priority and always make the right decision (not a decision by a moment anymore).

And it's really important because our life is all about making decisions. And some of them will totally change our lives forever!

But writing is hard, so after 4 years of research and testing, I've found a way!
Because our form of thought is a short sentence, and we have about 2,500 thoughts like that per hour!
Me, you, or even Elon Musk, we all have the same 24 hours each day! The only thing that distinguishes us is what we think about in each hour!

This is why Pentime has a timeline base:

Pentime - A safe place to brain-dump your thoughts.
A question for you: Did you know that at this time 3 days ago, what exactly were you doing or thinking about?

Now with this app, I can know exactly what it is! Even good or bad, I will evolve.

So this is all my real-life experience. If you have any questions, just dump them here. I'll reply to you all. Thank you for reading!

What I've learned from all the years of personal growth and raising a family, is that love, especially with children, is about being responsive to their needs. All too often I see parents impose their definition of "love"/"care"/etc onto the children, and expect them to take it. Or, blame the children for not "learning" this "proper" version of love/care. This is complete BS. We cannot expect children to do what adults are supposed to do.

Which brings me to another point that I've come to believe, which is that, people shouldn't have kids without having first dealt with their own egos and grown significantly through it. Otherwise, we end up power-struggling with our children and take away the only thing they need most, ie genuine love and affection from the parents.

A lot to unpack, but that's the gist of it.

> 4. One AI engineer from Tesla could solve Twitter's bot and spam problem.

I don't know why people think is the problem.

They regularly ban bot and spam accounts. This is not an issue.

The issue is malicious/ignorant human actors and malicious state level actors.

Tesla AI engineers can't even get past L3. There's no chance they would be able to create an AI solution that can fight state level resources or massive amounts of humans gossiping and spread misinformation.
JavaScript Function Composition: What's the big deal?
I'll believe that deep learning has really achieved human level performance when the algorithm looks at the Navier-Stokes equations and says, "eh, it's not like I'm ever actually going to use that after grad school".

That was a long thread who didn't say much outside of the usual suspects for being against free speech: "far-right, harassment, Russia, think of the children".

All of which can are not the biggest criticisms directed at Twitter right now.

He does not address the Hunter Biden laptop story, the ban of the last president for saying the election was stolen (even if it happened twice before that in the last 20 years and was a frequent talking point), woke politics getting people banned (most normal people do not know what asking for pronouns are about), etc.

Also the fear that open discourse leads to genocide has no basis in History. Genocides happened because those in power could speak without any counter voices and their crimes not getting exposed publicly.
Except that I left out a "should".

While it would be good if malloc(0) always returned a pointer, you can't rely on malloc(0) returning NULL just for errors. There's not even a guarantee that malloc(0) does the same thing every time.

Note that "returning a pointer to the byte after the internal malloc header" means that malloc(0) == malloc(0), breaking the unique pointer guarantee unless malloc(0) actually causes an allocation.

However, allocating in malloc(0) means that while(1) malloc(0); can cause a segfault, which would be a surprising thing.
> No, it's not your culture or your history, you're not the author. What everyone misses with these comments is that some authors many not want their works to be preserved or archived.

The moment an author makes something public and it gains significant traction is the moment it starts to be part of global culture instead of just only the author's.

Either publish the work with everything that it entails, including archival and assimilation of that work into popular culture, or don't publish at all. If you don't want society to archive your works, then it shouldn't even know of their existence. There's no middle-ground.

I believe OP was asking what to look out for within the security log, not how to look at the security log.
valuations are always subjective. you pretend it's like some sort of precise science, but it is not, never was, and never will be. ffs, the example is a major international port, not a cookie-cutter shoebox-sized condo.

The very first thing that will happen upon implementation of LVT is simple "rebranding" of "renting" into "mortgages".

What tax do you charge then? some LLC "owns" the port. some bank provides it a "mortgage".

What's the tax due on such mortgaged property? Previous rent? What if such rent was never charged and it was mortgaged from day zero? What then? What if there is no comparable entity to compare to? Just some half-ass guess?

What's the LVT tax on the Suez Canal? Panama Canal?

It's FAR from trivial.
Yes Elon is known for manic states, it's not a new detail. The legal discovery process is basically also "digging up dirt", and both sides do it before a trial to bolster their cases. That doesn't imply malice (as in, wanting to harm someone aside from mocking them), which is also something for a jury to determine. And a jury decided, unanimously after viewing the totality of the case, that the comments did not amount to defamation.

They wouldn't be divested. He's said he intends to allow the maximum number of shareholders legally allowed to continue as shareholders, that is, the biggest investors get to not divest if they want.

GP is implying that since Musk is relying on this in order to finance it since he doesn't have 43B in cash.
There’s a deeper point, which is that land didn’t appreciate because of anything you did. (Unless you developed it, and LVT leaves developed value tax free).

You seem to be arguing as though I said the west's objective was to hurt Russia's economy and Russian individuals. I believe those are only means to an end, those are not the ultimate objective.

The west's objective is to limit Russia's ability to wage war.

The real question is (again): Do you believe limiting Russia's ability to wage war is a worthy goal? If so, how would you suggest doing so?

> Vanguard, for example, has just had its range of further investment limited arbitrarily.

As I understand vanguards structure, they have no beneficial ownership of any company and therefore never trigger the poison pill.

> Who does this benefit besides the board?

This benefits anyone who is concerned that a rich person will buy 50%+1 of a company and use their equity to make decisions they are opposed to. Now if a rich person accumulate 20%, the other shareholders can dilute that rich person. That means the rich person has to convince other shareholders that decision is correct.
Why doesn’t the board just issues shares to existing holders whenever Elon goes over 15%? You effectively dilute Elon out of getting over the 15%? It seems like the only difference with the poison pill is that you have to pay a discounted rate instead of getting new shares for free. But if the company can issues discounted shares to prevent a takeover why don’t they just issue free shares to prevent a takeover?

For example, if Elon goes to 16% ownership why doesn’t the board just distribute new shares to existing owners pro-rata to the point where Elon is back to 15%?

All of this seems pretty sketchy to me. I don’t see how the board is legally allowed to do this.
Does anyone know why American banking sucks so much there are a myriad of apps trying to sidestep it? Over here in the EU, we have neobanks which are app-only, have great features for their price(often with a free tier), which has forced old traditional banks to innovate and get close to their level. What stops the US banking market from evolving?
None of my questions have been addressed, so I'm guessing you are pretty deep into your theory. I do wonder whether there is any piece of evidence or logical thinking through probabilities/incentives that would alter your theory of "Elon Musk buys Twitter to curry favor from Trump & the Republican party"?

Would the fact that Tesla mostly just donates to Democrats alter anything [1]?

Or that Elon Musk makes more personal donations to Democratic politicians [2]?

I'm guessing not. I'm guessing you'll ignore this and see that he and his companies donated some money to Republicans (even though he gives more to Democrats) and that therefore means he's a diehard Republican who is driven to look out for the party.

Have a nice day!

It is gone now, but IIRC Microsoft was working on a blockchain for inter-enterprise settlement that ran in the secure enclave. It had extremely high throughput and all of the parties could “trust” that the code running was the same, so they were all following the same rules. Neat concept, they killed it before ever sharing source code.
