As a PSA, something to be aware of is the stimulant paradox for anxiety due to ADHD. Typically anxiety & stimulants would be a no-go combination, but for folks with ADHD-induced anxiety stimulants can actually help. I know someone whose child was (finally) properly diagnosed with ADHD only after they let their child try a tiny bit of their coffee and there was a significant change. It was the revelation needed to get to a good treatment path.

The point is that you don't need a stockpile if you have supply diversity.

If you have two suppliers, one going down clobbers half of the market and the other company has to ramp up 100% to take over. That's simply not feasible.

If you have five suppliers and one goes down, the remaining four companies only have to increase 20% each to take over the load. That's not easy, but it's actually in the realm of being possible.
I still don’t see the problem. At no point is cash conservation broken. They may say that my account has $900 in it when that cash doesn’t exist, it’s been used for some other end, but that’s not weird or unusual, or even interesting. I know that the bank has plenty of other peoples’ $900 that if I wanted that cash I could take it.

Wow, this brings back memories! Around 1986, I used to work for a state government electronics company in India, and we tied up with Convergent to build their Unix servers in India. We chose the MightyFrame, bigger and more powerful than the MiniFrame in the video. I remember travelling several times to the Bay Area to understand the product and how to manufacture it.

Not that we really learned how to do that: Convergent had a high-volume manufacturing line with high levels of automation. They destructively heat tested at least 25-30 servers before starting to ship, while our entire production was expected to be 50-75!

Had to design a totally different production process with manual placement of components, a simple wave soldering machine, a row of women doing rework and jumpering on the soldered PCBs and R&D / Design engineers like me transferring to manufacturing for several months to make all this happen. Had a blast, though, and we built them well, and the product sold well in India.
Looks like we're gonna have to buy it from a foreign manufacturer that happens to be owned by the legislators behind the regulations that caused the shortage.

If it's too expensive the fed will supply funds, no doubt.
There's a tremendous difference between recognizing greatness and having the creativity and skills to make something on that level yourself.
Discussion at the time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30796339). The article posted may have been a hoax.
Without knowing your age, your actual background, business knowledge, etc. this is just guesswork. It sounds like you’ve approached your career somewhat haphazardly. Further, it seems you’ve alienated your network. That’s a red flag that shows up when we start looking at references. I’m assuming you don’t have drug or alcohol related issues. If you do, deal with them first. Your resume likely has significant gaps, probably not any specific industry focus, and based on your plan above, no education in software development, computer science, etc. Having hired many developers in my time, I can tell you that you have an uphill battle. So my first question is what are you bringing to the table? What are you really good at? What business domains or industries do you know well? What makes you a better choice for the hiring manager than other candidates? Do you really want to be in software development or do you just like the earnings potential? If by Big Tech offers, you are talking FAANG then as others have stated, it’s not a likely outcome. Best case, grinding through a CS like self study program over a couple of years is a big undertaking. My suggestion may offer a viable alternative solution. Instead of pursuing a Big Tech job, I would suggest signing on with some staffing firm that offers full benefits, e.g. Robert Half, any similar small local firm, etc. that finds the jobs and places individuals in companies. And should you manage a placement, work your tail off learning not only the technology but the line of business. And deliver quality product. Always be learning and always accept whatever assignments, regardless of whether they sound particularly exciting. Your goal is to build a track record of results, preferably with a specific focus. Once you start building a better resume, think about completing your education more formally. Bottom line, you have a tough road ahead of you that will require discipline, focus, and commitment. Can it be done? Yes, others have done it. Can you do it? That’s up to you.
No, not salads. Spas.
This book review would benefit from an express reference to the idea of "impermanence of conscious phenomena", which is inherent in the original treatment and has the advantage of greatly simplifying the scope of the so-called "Hard Problem" since all subjective qualia are per se momentary and impermanent, and can only ever relate or refer to previous memories, not to other qualia as such. There is no individual "self" inherent to any conscious phenomena, because consciousness has no capability for self-reference or self-perception.
It seems like this strategy is basically not viable anymore unless you do already have a lot of luck in the industry. I'm much more close to the OP, and the application cycle has become absurdly detached from what you describe. Maybe it works for some companies, idk, but genuinely even applying to jobs automatically puts you in a timed coding competition from Step 1 most of the time. Getting to speak to someone on the team is an almost laughable pipe dream, and putting in any work ahead of time won't help unless you win the hacker rank thing that's sent out to anyone who applies.

Beyond that, if you get into an interview, every companies wants to mitigate risk as much as possible, and even after 6 interviews with everyone and their sister getting to ask similar vapid questions, you can be rejected with an automated email.

It's pretty soul sucking. If I lose my current job, which took me 2 years of misses to get, I'll probably have to leave tech
Yes, 75% of the diet is psychology and not calories-in-calories-out. Obviously CICO is a thing inasmuch as it's a thermodynamic process. Those people who parrot it though aren't really using their brain and are trying to simplify a complex human process down to "eat less". Nutrition in humans is complex and psychology is more important than other factors (assuming you don't really have some limiting health issue). The only way I could lose weight was low carb. It lowered my cravings and I started eating two meals a day (I usually had a sizeable breakfast which I dropped). the first two weeks to a month were rough but after that the amount of will power needed decreased dramatically. I lost 80lbs this way and have kept it off by staying away from refined carbs and eating much much less sugar. Will it work for everyone? Probably not, but even if it works for a sizeable minority it's worth it, and I think it's like hitting a reset button on your relationship with food. You realize you're in control, your physical cravings lessen. I had tried all kinds of diets before, but low carb worked for me.

I showed Hackers to my girlfriend a few years ago. I am a software developer who has seen it multiple times. She isn't into computers at all and had never seen it before. But we both really enjoyed it. It's a fun movie that fantastical enough to be fun and engaging while grounded enough to be believable. The less-realistic parts didn't break the immersion for her but were a source of amusement for me that didn't ruin the overall experience
Great — then you agree that your original standard, animacy, was not quite what you meant as the distinguishing factor. I hope you’re more precise about that in the future.
Looking for more apps designed for the Linux/iOS crowd. Firefox for eg syncs stuff well. Maybe BitWarden?
> it's a lack of urgency from the government and private sector to make sure a medically critical product is available.

Yes and no. But mostly no. It's that we're optimized for the best case scenario. We're in love with theory, of economies of scale and a world with no pot holes (so to speak).

That's profitable. But it's also ridiculous and stupid.

If Abbot being compromised can lead to this then that smells like a monopoly. Or at least a bad case of cronie capitalism. Three companies is not a rant. It's The Root Problem.
This seems dangerous unless you are very young and fit and your kidneys can take it. I can see replacing 1 meal a day with say a 200 calorie casein protein drink but that being all you consume seems like a bad idea.

Thanks George, and apologies for missing this comment on my first scan through this page. Your Youtube talk is lined up for viewing later today.

We're using prom + cortex/mimir. With ~30-60k hosts + at least that figure again for other endpoints (k8s, snmp, etc), so we can get away with semi-manual sharding (os, geo, env, etc). We're happy with 1m polling, which is still maybe 50 packets per query, but no persistent conns held open to agents.

I'm guessing your TCP issues were exacerbated by a much high polling frequency requirement? You come back to persistent connections a lot, so this sounds like a bespoke agent, and/or the problem was not (mostly) a connection establish/tear-down performance issue?

The external discovery service - I assume an in-house, and now long disappeared and not well publicly described system? ;) We're looking at NodeRED to fill that gap, so it also becomes a critical component, but the absence only bites at agent restart. We're pondering wrapping some code around the agents to be smarter about dealing with a non-responsive config service. (During a major incident we have to assume a lot of things will be absent and/or restarting.)

The concerns around incoming conns to their apps, it sounds like those same teams you were dealing with ended up having to instrument their code with something from you anyway -- was it the DoS risk they were concerned about?
What is this answer? Are you being serious comparing eating actual sand to caloric dense food?

Obviously calories aren't everything in terms of diet and health; vitamins, nutrients and other parts come into play. But when it comes down to actual physical weight, nothing else matters, unless you have a medical problem. Learning how calories work and counting them for some time, so you understand what you are actually eating, is the first step.

Ideally this work would be done with a professional nutritionist, since calorie counting will get you to the weight you want, but it speaks nothing of how healthy your diet is. Sadly this is not something everyone is privileged enough to be able to do.

It is also important to remember that most people who struggle with their weight, and are making an effort, are actually struggling with their relationship with food. This is something that no matter what diet you are on, or how deep your understanding of biology and nutrition is, nothing can replace actually working that deeper issue, which is not trivial and something truly personal.
This is a solid post, and setting comp is both important and nuanced.

One really important topic that isn't addressed here as part of Compensation Reviews is re-evaluation of equity grants – particularly at times like these when tech equities are falling rapidly. A scenario that I think we will unfortunately see a lot of:

* Employees have equity grants worth $100k/year in equity, with the value based on a fundraise from last summer (not uncommon for senior engineers in tech)
* Tech co valuations from last summer were white hot. 50x, 70x, 100x ARR
* The market has cooled significantly with valuations at say 6x, 10x, 15x ARR
* As a result, the "true" value of employee equity will be way lower than expected
* With comp that far below market lots of people will quit

Of course, there's the question of what to do as a manager. Topping up all employees or raising cash comp for all is more fair but also increases burn, which is _exactly_ what VCs or public markets don't want to see right now. Behind closed doors many companies will top-up high performers and tacitly encourage low performers to leave the company.

I was also a bit surprised to see that this post didn't discuss how companies think about and create bands beyond percentiles (example of how many companies approach the creation of bands: https://www.aeqium.com/post/how-to-create-compensation-bands). Using percentiles to determine pay can work, but is typically a lagging indicator, as these sorts of comp benchmarks are based off of surveys that only go out so often. This is especially true in times of considerable compensation volatility like right now –comp for roles like engineering, design, product management, data science have all increased dramatically in the last 3-4 quarters, but this growth will probably slow significantly or even reverse given the current tech market downturn. That's very unlikely to get captured by percentile-based assessments.
Close enough, regardless of who made it it was a really interesting little oddity in the history of x86.
this is nutritionally a very bad idea. Potatoes are actually pretty nutritious but they are not a complete food. If you're going down the "bland food diet to kill cravings" then follow one of the nutritionally complete diets like soylent green (or any of the numerous competitors)

If this works then doing it more is clearly possible. Maybe not politically or economically viable in the current circumstances but certainly possible. If weathering fine gravel/dust is the mechanism there’s an awful lot of coastal land with relatively active currents in the UK and elsewhere to dump it.

"It depends" some rock is net beneficial, can be both structural, physical-chemical effects on soil regarding clumping and water retention, and bio active (supporting beneficial micro-organisms, providing micro nutrients)

Some phosphate rich rocks might be also known as.. fertiliser.

Arsenous rocks would be a disaster. It's a huge issue in India with water table and ground contamination. Likewise lead, or salt (in the wider sense if it causes brackish ground water) although that's about deep wells. I have no idea if this is a serious risk for rockdust plans.

For enough upside benefit downsides might have to be borne or mitigated.

Average hours worked in the US is 1767, while CA is 1644:

Perhaps we Canadians have simply decided not to kill ourselves as much chasing the almighty dollar / loonie, and that's why we make "less" money in total.

> Most kids are impressionable and these "lessons" might have the exactly opposite effect: turn kids into LGBT people before they even discovered themselves sexually.

People have been peddling this for ages. Surely there'd be some respected research to back it up. First it was "talking about gay people will turn your kids gay." Now it is "talking about trans people will turn your kids trans." It is just the satanic panic for frightened parents. Equally as stupid as "Mortal Kombat will turn your kids into killers." So let me be very clear. Refusing to speak about the existence of LGBT people in school because of an unsubstantiated belief that it will trick children into not being cishet is a problem. Asking for extremely basic recognition in ordinary life is not an "unreasonable thing."
I just want to add that a "detox" as a holistic medicine approach is total bullshit. If you're talking about hitting reset on what you have in your house then that's different. That's just getting rid of temptation.

You already had the answer to that for years.

Now here's the answer for mice.
A sample size of 100 is fairly reasonable, isn't it? The worst-case standard deviation is 5%, and 100 is a small enough number that you can take the time to carefully inspect each account (by humans) to actually determine if it's a bot or not. So 100 is something like the sample size I'd expect them to use here. Not sure why that would need to be a secret.

(The key thing is that the sample has to be truly random, which is usually very hard to do, but Twitter can easily pick 100 random accounts in their own database.)

You said it yourself in your original comment: small and sustainable changes are the way to go. I agree that much of the cultural discourse around dieting is harmful. The promise of every diet commercial is that if you eat in this special way for three months you'll be the picture of health and then there is no need to worry about what you put into your body. This is not only a bad plan for being healthy, but it also heaps additional shame on a person when they are unsurprisingly unable to maintain the significant lifestyle changes required by the diet.

The bottom line for me is that both 1) CICO is the dominant consideration in weight loss and 2) small and sustainable changes made over time are far healthier in the long run than an instantaneous and significant change. Of course, point (2) applies much more broadly to any health or lifestyle goal.

'Then the parties injured can bring claims with the actual damages in hand.'

This is basically impossible.

First you must prove the leak came from the party you are suing, most Westerners had their data leaked by over 10 organisations at this point - equifax, high profile hacks, etc.

Secondly you need to prove damages. That is extremely difficult because no-one will ever admit in court to using leaked data against you.

So the solution you are proposimg is unworcable. We know, becauae we tested it - equifax leaked data for hundred million people, and so far noone was able to prove the damage.
Yes and no. It's simple enough to construct a shaped charge from things you buy at Home Depot, assuming you have the right explosive. The explosive needs to be conformal (either plastic or castable) and capable of achieving true detonation. Secondaries like C4 and TNT are not easy to synthesize at home, and the primaries that are easy to synthesize at home are difficult to phlegmatize and handle safely at the necessary volumes.

Explosives are terribly fun but please do not try messing with them at home.
Europe generally has much more regulation than the US, not just in food, but in all areas of life. In addition to individual counties having on average more complex regulation, the EU's main purpose is to set regulation standards between member states.

Also, from a cultural angle, food tradition is more deeply ingrained and there is much more skepticism of GMO and food products. American food has a reputation of being fake/candy.

Interestingly, the UK seems to be far more on the US's page when it comes to food and it was a component of Brexit that they wanted to right to race to the bottom on their food products.
