Or you could bet everything at a casino and let it ride if you win.

But unlike selling stuff you don't have (shares, options etc), you won't lose more than your stake. You have $1k, you put it on red, you invest in the S&P, you buy Roubles, you buy a meme stock, you buy a TSLA call for 6 months time at $2k, you buy dogecoin, at most you will lose $1k.

You borrow 100 shares of TSLA when it's $900 and sell them, you'll get $90k now, but you might end up with TSLA jumping to $5k overnight and you have to send those shares back, that will cost you $500k, well done.
They're not stupid.

(Speculation alert)

It seems to me they serve a higher level purpose of squeezing the middle class and the "small rich" (sorry, lack a better expression) out of their wealth.

All this BS anti-ML, KYC, etc do is make this audience's lives harder and more expensive to invest and diversify their risks.

Meanwhile, the "big rich" (again, sorry) can navigate these ridiculous bureaucracies easily, as the fixed costs are comparatively small to them.

Criminals also can navigate this easy as a piece of cake.

Or do they imagine that a person who committed dark crimes will stop and think: "Oh nooo, I have to send my real passport photo? Damn, busted!"
I'm not sure this is so much of a problem? Changing what you name the variable fixes the issue.

Python is generally quite good at having a verbose option to express things, so I'm surprised there's not an explicit way to reference the enclosing scope from an object.
I'm not disagreeing at all. I'm just saying that isn't what IQ is. It correlates with all sorts of stuff and understanding those correlations is useful. But IQ isn't its correlations. I definitely believe those correlations exist and are pretty strong.

It isn't "Mental Horsepower" though. If something called "Mental Horsepower" or "General Intelligence" exist which I don't personally buy, IQ probably correlates with them but it isn't them.

IQ is a location on the point of a normalized distribution of scores on a specific set of tests. Nothing more, nothing less.

Correlations don't guarantee things to be true. If IQ correlates strongly with "Mental Horsepower" it could still be very possible for a specific individual to have high IQ with low "Mental Horsepower" although it is statistically less likely.

Oh this is super exciting! I used to be on the dev team for ZC as Joe123 back when I was a teenager, I mostly worked on the scripting language. I left the community about 10 years ago and I haven't seen anything about it since then. It'll be great to have a play on this sometime
These are good reasons! Thank you for the motivation.
One of the reasons I appreciate this book so much, even if I disagree with parts, is the author's humble approach starting with the title, with both "a" and "philosophy". Throughout the content I also felt like he invited me to disagree with him. This made me like it was more of a conversation of trade offs rather than an argument on who is right.
Is there any non-horror piece of code where supporting this latter case would be useful?
How I read what they wrote is that instead of mindlessly listening to anything just to listen to something as the default, they prefer to instead be selective if they decide to listen to something.

Bingo. Send payment here, choose a name, your instance spins up, and stays up as long as you've paid for hosting.

When payment runs out, it emails you a download link to export your data which you can take to another provider, or just start paying again and it starts working again.

Honestly, I understand your sentiment and there's probably a bit of Stockholm syndrome going on with my appreciation of such culture. Under it, engineering quality definitely suffers - as well as morale and such things - but these were inconsequential to the bottom line of the business. And while enjoying the rewards of our labor through stock options and market dynamics, it hardly seemed to matter to anyone, including myself. Let's just consider the value proposition: I accumulated five years of salary in one, and can afford to take time off work to focus on personal growth, or whatever. I'm not under any illusion that every high-pressure job is rewarding, but it certainly seems more likely than a lax one where people take their time and true laziness goes unnoticed.

I'm unsure what else the nation could do with these people. Ship them somewhere else? One side is waiting for the other side to attrition out (Pew Research Voter Demographics corpus). What other options are available? Who else would want them?

The people who don't believe in the peaceful transfer of power and believe in subjugating the rights of others due to their own belief systems don't want to negotiate or compromise. How do you work with opposition who doesn't want progress, but only to make someone suffer? You cannot, so you lean into whatever will work.

I scored 128, however, that was due to skipping about 3 of the puzzles due to the time limit.

While I think if I had not stopped to reply to a slack message I might have scored higher, this is a poor indicator of overall intelligence given it relies on basic pattern recognition to apply simple xor/and/nand/or operations and object rotation.

I suck at math and don't have the stomach to memorize basic equations. While I am not a potato, I do not think (or would hope) my intelligence falls that highly ahead of the curve.
Just depends whether or not the effort it takes to find a VPS company whose IPs aren't blocked by major email providers, and then ensuring that your emails continuously make it through to their destinations, is worth the cost savings.

I share your sentiment, but I opted for Fastmail because the effort wasn't worth the savings. YMMV, obviously.
I can't comment on the recent issues, but it's always been a peeve of mine that the express lanes operate even when it's not in the main commute direction at the time.

For example, the 680 lanes operate M-F, 5am-8pm. But northbound traffic in the morning isn't that bad, nor is southbound traffic in the evening. Almost no one would pay to use the express lane at these times, so you wind up with a lane that's almost completely empty and makes traffic denser in the other lanes.

Neither.

During pregnancy a woman should be able to terminate her pregnancy to avoid obligation to the child. The rights of the woman supersede the rights of both the child and the father because it is her body that needs to go through pregnancy.

After the birth the parental rights should be equal. Both parents should be able to renounce their obligation to the child. In this situation, the state should step in and assume that responsibility. That applies to both guardianship and financial obligation. The state will only take over guardianship if both parents give up their obligation. The state will step in financially if one parent gives up their obligation.

It is acceptable to put limited restrictions on these such as establishing a reasonable cutoff for abortions as Roe v. Wade allows or the short windows of time that safe haven laws usually establish. What is important is that the parents at least have a choice at some point in the process. Once the parents make that decision, I am fine with them being held to it.
sed -i

Watch out, that's a Linux-ism and macOS's sed will cheerfully use the thing after it as the backup expression; as far as I know, the absolute safest choice is to always specify a backup extension "sed -i~" or "sed -i.bak" to make it portable, although there are plenty of work-arounds trying to detect which is which and "${SED_I} -e whatever" type silliness

We absolute have and use these things. This is why the US army makes you run a mile and counts your pull ups. These things are not measures of your "true physical fitness", they are just data points. But they have extremely high correlation on other fitness metrics so we just measure them and assign a score.

Rebellion Defense | Remote, potentially w/travel to DC - USA only | Full Time | Mid-SR SDE | ~$157,000 to ~$236,000 + options

Your team will be focused on building autonomous systems for some of the company's most important initiatives. Domain experience isn't required, but we're looking for strong backend devs.

A lot of work is in Python, Go, and in the cloud, though sometimes you'll be in what I like to call a hostile development environment (but don't worry, you'll be surrounded by people that have battlescars in these environments).

About RD:
Rebellion defense is an amalgamation of folks coming from diverse backgrounds ranging from FANG (I guess MAANG now?) as well as directly from the government - all of us are aligned on one thing: software systems (ML/AI in this case) "will be critical in how we understand, decide, and act in the realm of national security" - and we have to show up for that.

We have great benefits and a structured interviewing process that you can read about on the job page below.

If you have hesitations (ethical, cultural, compensation, or otherwise) about working in national security, feel free to ping me (kelvin), at <my_name> at rebelliondefense.com. I'm not on the team that's hiring, but I can talk to you about RD and why I joined.

Here's the job posting if you just want to go for it: https://rebelliondefense.com/rebellion-careers/current-openi...

Such tests can cause depression, they should not be published online. Some kid might decide to stop trying harder in college just because was distracted and failed this test.

The product exists. Fusible interfacing is a sheet of heat-activated glue.

But beware repairing with stronger materials. This shifts the stress to the interface between the two fabrics, often at an already-weakened-but-not-yet-failed part of the old fabric, hastening a failure in the new location.

Also some locations in clothing are more amenable to the increased bulk/stiffness. These are unfortunately not usually wear points.

Good luck though, sometimes it works out!

Are you sure about that? I don't think this is true. I definitely don't have a phone number linked to my Google Account and I have TOTP enabled as well. They even have the Advanced Protection mode which doesn't allow SMS or the authenticator app.

Really though, you should do the last thing. Buy some security keys and enable Advanced Protection.

Isn't the solution unions, akin to the heavily unionized movie / TV business? Short of that, Nintendo deserves some bad PR for this at least; as long as people keep leaking their crappy workplace conditions to the press, the execs will have to keep reading these articles, and maybe be they'll be incentivized to make things slightly better.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but (1) and (2) and (4) all seem to come from a place of believing that if a test is not 100% accurate then it is useless. Hopefully when I phrase it that way you can see why none of these objections "kill the validity of IQ tests dead".

(3) is very interesting and there is not yet any agreement as to what is causing it. Flynn seems to have thought our culture is slowly becoming better at training us to think abstractly. There's some evidence for this: one Australian study found that over 20 years the students in a set of schools became better at a vocabulary test but did not improve at all in processing speed. This is not what you would expect to see if the improvements were due to better nutrition or less environmental lead.

For (5), haven't read it. He's stunningly erudite and a careful author though, it's worth taking him seriously. Do you have some examples of points he raised?
>I can't imagine walking around without a daypack

Depends on how hot and humid it is outside. Even in breathable clothing like Nike Dryfit or any of the thousand knockoffs, in 90+ degrees, high humidity weather, a backpack blocks perspiration evaporating off. It literally becomes a hot spot on your back. He did have one tip I don't entirely agree with to use Vaseline, but instead I use Glide just because I don't care for the consistency of petroleum jelly. Although he mentions long sleeves shirts and a hat with neck guard, he said nothing explicitly about skin or eye protection; people in the sun day after day should be wearing polarizing lenses and high SPF clothing along with sun screen.
I love these longform Hustle articles. A good portion of the time they find something fun that I would have never thought about and have an informative writing style that still keeps it fun.

Nintendo has a lot of cash and is more of a toy company than a console company. I tend to think they will be fine.

Their weakest link is almost certainly their marketing team. The Wii U was really cool. Nintendo Land was insanely fun. The asymmetric local multiplayer was cool as shit. But nobody understood this. Most people didn’t know the Wii U was a different console.
Employers make it a point, often, to blur the lines. Contractors, by government definition, get to choose their own hours, their own tools, they must be compensated dynamically for their expenses. When I was a contractor I felt that I was an FTE with shittier benefits; I was told where to be and when to be there, my tools were dictated to me, and if I ever asked about purchasing something to do my job better I was assuredly told, "no". I think, "I feel like a second class citizen" adds up to, "I was duped into FTE with none of the benefits."
Yup - in particular VAT tax evasion (i.e. a company putting a $2000 sticker on laptops when they pass through Bermuda) is something that the US could easily solve with a minimal cumulative VAT tax - it just chooses not to.

The same corruption that leaves tax loopholes all over the place will prevent sanctions against tax havens - them existing is a desirable state by the corrupt that can purchase influence to perpetuate their existence.
