I find interviewing skills are more important than job skills in terms of income.

Trying to get a 20% raise by doing a good job I've found to be a protracted difficult task, but a 50% raise by interviewing? Much easier.

You do need some job skills, but in my experience being fired for not being good enough is rare, and can take a lot of time - during which you're getting paid.

Another thing I've found is I pick up the most exposure to new ideas in that first 12 months in a job.

These two things together means being able to get a new job easily is very useful.

But getting a job is different from doing a job, don't expect the two activities to have much in common. It could be better, but hey 3-4 months of evenings spent programming to get a big step up in the job market is a pretty good deal if you enjoy programming :)

(Personally I've found leetcode useful at becoming a better programmer, though I didn't approach it as memorizing riddles.)
No tritium producing facility separates out nearly all tritium. Tritium separation and handling systems are expensive and demand has been low. It is not that more reactors are needed to meet demand. If demand ramps then the untapped supply can simply be tapped.
I think I've only worked at companies that under-hired. At small start-ups it that they were worried about runway and so made everyone wear many hats and overwork / crunch on things. At large orgs its just difficult to hire and very competitive, so you always have a hard time hitting your goals even though the roles are very much needed.

I can't think of one org I've ever worked at that hit a sweet spot where you were able to hire exactly as many engineers as you needed while keeping up with growth and attrition.

"EliteBook trackpoints never had a middle button."

That is not correct. My old HP EliteBook 8560W had not one but two sets of three mouse buttons. See the first image at this article: https://notebooks.com/2011/04/12/hp-elitebook-8560w-details-...
The main concern of the southern states was slavery. The main concern of the north was continuance of the Union as such.

That is, the intent behind seccession was to maintain slavery. The intent behind the emancipation proclamation wasn't (solely) to end slavery, but to encourage rebellion by enslaved southerners.
I don't know why you'd have any wealth cutoff. This is a replacement for their income because they can't make any income due to disability. What business does anyone have dictating anything else about their life. None. That's very authoritarian.

I suggest you should switch off 'programming mode' once in a while.
I think you're picking a fight here that's not there: its relatively uncontroversial that there's been an aggressive campaign since the civil war to minimise slavery as a factor, particularly in the South - you will easily find "war of northern aggression" types because that is what they are taught.

The safety elevator dates to 1852, and by 1867, nearly two decades prior to Edison's power station, Otis had a factory in New York City.

Buildings of over 5--6 storeys in height would likely have had elevators. And probably coal-fired heating as well.
I've always thought that Russia never recovered from anarchists / nihilists / whatever murdering Alexander II. Finland remembers him as the last good emperor, and his statue is still at the center of the main square of Helsinki, between the government palace, the university main building, and the main cathedral.

Under Alexander II, Russia was on its way to becoming yet another European constitutional monarchy. His son Alexander III reversed the course, and Nicholas II continued with nationalistic autocratic rule, which ultimately ruined the backward empire and and paved the way to communism.
> It's one thing to give someone benefits to support their person, it's another to give them benefits to support their person AND their existing savings. It's pretty natural to be less generous to someone who already has the money to pay for what they're asking you to pay for.

Nope. This makes no sense. You're replacing their income because they can't generating any. That's it. You have no business in their rest of their life at all. Your job is to determine whether they can generate income or not and give them money if they can't, nothing else.
The complaint about the ships all going to Long Beach/LA and not to other ports is a little bogus. Various shipping lines would be happy to send a ship to 2 or more US ports to spread out their deliveries and pickups.

Except the US Jones Act specifically forbids this. So Container ships can only call at a single port, which naturally means the biggest one.

As I recall the actual logic was after decades of early & frequent screening, allegedly the data showed a greatly increased rate of mass discovery and treatment, but no improvement in mortality at the population level. This suggested despite a lot of activity, we may not have accomplished anything.
What it means practically is the basics like food, shelter, and healthcare. Beyond those basic needs, free education and basic financial security (no means testing or savings limit like for the example in the original post)

The argument against this is that people will say "well what about internet access, is internet access a human right since it's now ubiquitous? What about refrigerators and microwaves?" The answer is yes. As the standard of living rises for the average person through innovation, it should also rise for the lowest in society.

> It's actually super easy to do. See, you just...make sure that rather than cliffs, you have percentage based reduction of benefits.

It's even simpler: stop means testing individual programs, that's what progressive taxation is for. If you are going to give someone benefits due to a particular level of disability, give them benefits calculated based on that. If they have more outside income than you would expect with that disability, good for them, and they’ll also pay more taxes. Same with other special-circumstance aid qualifications (for general poverty support, this reduced to UBI.)
I'm confused why you're replying that to me, because I never said it wasn't a common treatment. Regardless, I do agree with you.

Lincoln was elected in Nov 6, 1860. [0]

South Carolina seceded around a month later, on December 20, 1860 [1]. Georgia began drafting a new constitution in January 1861[2], after voting to secede a few days earlier.

The Morill Tariff passed in the senate on Feb 20, 1861, two months after SC seceded, and one month after GA.[3]

How contagious is it?

Edit: Unlike SARS-CoV-2, which spreads through tiny air-borne droplets called aerosols, monkeypox is thought to spread from close contact with bodily fluids, such as saliva from coughing. That means a person with monkeypox is likely to infect far fewer close contacts than someone with SARS-CoV-2
Know a number of folks on SSI. Yup. This is real. One person I know keeps cash, when their account gets too high. That’s not so safe, as folks on SSI are often living in less-than-wonderful environments.

Also, people who take Social Security early, are prohibited from earning over a certain amount, but I think that’s different.

Also of note is that most transmission so far appears to have been through male on male sex

> Another puzzle is why almost all of the case clusters include men aged 20–50, many of whom are gay, bisexual and have sex with men (GBMSM).

That means it's probably less contagious if it requires anal sex to transmit.

Read what the states who left the union had to say about it:

> How do you explain the South's century of aggressive open racism after the civil war in your "it was just economic" theory?

"Is your assertion that racist white northerners fought a war against racist white southerners to free black people?". What about racist white northerners and racist white southerners confused you?

> You don't need to try to save their reputations. Let them be remembered as the assholes they were.

Saving their reputation by calling them racist white southerners?

You do realize that some northern states had slaves too during the civil war. And the emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the south.

If you want to learn what the civil war was really about go look into why west virginia seceded from virgina. Do you think west virginians were less racist than the rest of virginians? Or do you think it was economic?

I like solving both American-style and cryptic crosswords now, but I never realized that the British called the black squares "dead squares" in English. In my experience, this term is never used in American English, but it's the term most often used in Brazilian Portuguese crosswords (casas mortas). To my knowledge, it's also not used in Spanish (cuadros negros/celdas negras), French (cases noires), or Italian (caselle nere).

I wonder how the dead-square terminology reached Brazil. I think the popularity of crosswords there was originally due to Italian immigrants, who might not have said "dead squares".

I've heard people call the "letters [that] only take part in one word" unches (an abbreviation for "unchecked squares").
Why would publishers love it? They're the ones who created the problem of bloated slow loading pages in the first place. The whole thing is a workaround for their inability to make decent webpages...

We don't need AMP for web pages to load quickly. But people weren't (aren't) making web pages that load quickly, and people prefer web pages that load quickly, so there was an opening for AMP to fill. It would be better if there were no opening for it to begin with, but publishers predominantly chose (choose) to make crappy bloated webpages.

It would also be (far) better for
a similar but open solution not controlled by a single company to gain mindshare, but I don't see what would incentivize such a thing.

So all in all I conclude that AMP is better than the prior status quo, and I prefer to click on AMP links when I have a choice (especially on mobile).

Interestingly one of the reasons the south began their war over the right to own people was indeed because they were mad they couldn't force other states in the union to treat Black folks as slaves. Read up on the Fugitive Slave Act (https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/fugitive-...)

Ironic considering the modern lost cause argument of the war being over "states' rights". There was one right they were primarily concerned with - owning people.

Covid was also initially stated to not be a concern because human to human transmission wasn’t thought to be possible, then it didn’t have aerosol transmission, then it became inevitable that basically everyone would get infected.

I think it’ll take a couple weeks until we know whether this is an evolution that has airborne transmission or it’s just being spread through physical contact (and it fortunately seems to just be the latter). Until then it’s some researchers saying it won’t spread beyond a few cases and some people saying it’s the next plague.
This entire argument of it being "madness" hinges on the fact that a rational actor will know they are part of a low risk demographic and while they might worry, they won't seek medical care when they are informed they are low risk and "it's probably nothing". This is not a reasonable assumption.

I'm not sure if the author has ever had a biopsy, but most people will seek out care if they get some concerning result, like a nodule on the lungs that's "probably benign because of your priors."

Maybe you could opt in to "I am fully rational and will only make decisions using bayesian statistics with accurate priors."

Maybe you could hide test results or generate false results based on probabilities as not to steer someone into an unnecessary procedure. (Yes this it tongue in cheek)

Those who really really want to do that next test because they want the information are free to do that. But it seems like the exact mentality that will make you more prone to a botched biopsy. If you keep following the trail of more information you will get to a test that may not be best for your health outcome. That may be the initial x-ray.

It seems that if you have not-fully-rational human beings and an obligation to truthfully inform them of the results of medical tests, then maybe not doing the test to begin with has significantly better health outcomes. Can you not chain bayesian probabilities?

It took me about five minutes to find South Carolina's declaration of secession. And the first thing that document mentions is slavery:

"In the present case, that fact is established with certainty. We assert that fourteen of the States have deliberately refused, for years past, to fulfill their constitutional obligations, and we refer to their own Statutes for the proof.

The Constitution of the United States, in its fourth Article, provides as follows: “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.”"

South Carolina didn't secede because the North wanted to abolish slavery. They seceded because the North refused to return slaves to the South.

Many Northerners took a long time to follow this truth to its logical conclusion: either the North would have to accede to Southern demands and honor their claims to other human beings as property, or they would have to abolish slavery entirely.

How exactly does someone like Jeff Bezos benefit from a welfare system that is both inefficient and costly? If politicians are really so easily "bought" by the wealthy, then we'd see more legislation that wealthy people care about, but we don't even see that either. Oracle v. Google and net neutrality end up being decided by the unelected officials because Congress refuses to do anything, but virtue signal all day. Bernie actually tries to pass real legislation, but all this new wave of politicians including AOC cares about is seeking more political power. Every bill she sponsors looks like they're designed to not get passed but rile up her base.
It's rich of you to call everyone else's statement false when you're the one promoting ignoring the primary texts including the declarations of secession of the states in favor of your hypothetical 15-decade-later mindreading.

But all your questions have answers if you actually looked shit up instead of being suckered into being a mouthpiece for historical revisionism to deflect attention from the sins of the past.

West Virginia split because they didn't want to secede. Did they want to stay because of economic reasons? It doesn't really matter to this question, the war was started by states secession, so the reason for the first move is what matters.

Maryland and Delaware were further north and less dominated by slave-holders than the states that did secede. Anti-slavery sentiment in the pre-war US was very geographically distributed, after all. It was actively debated and voted on, but it didn't carry the day.

Especially Delaware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Delaware#Delaware_i...

"Slavery had been a divisive issue in Delaware for decades before the American Civil War began. Opposition to slavery in Delaware, imported from Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania, led many slaveowners to free their slaves; half of the state's black population was free by 1810, and more than 90% were free by 1860."

Whatever you might think of that 1997 example, it’s not the same issue, since it’s just a static page. As the page scrolls vertically by 1 cm, the word you’re focused on predictably moves vertically by 1 cm. I assume your quibble is that you might have to follow an odd shape to find the next word at a line break—but at least you know where the current word is.

Whereas in this post’s animations, as the page scrolls vertically, the word you’re focused on also jumps to an essentially random horizontal position (as a discontinuous function of the scroll-dependent widths of all the previous lines). You can’t scroll without losing the place of your current word.

Basically it comes down to lack of archeological evidence. We have lots of cave paintings (and many other things) from 50-100k years ago and they depict a caveman lifestyle not civilization.

We also find tons of tools and fossils such dating back to 200k years ago and there's no evidence of civilization there too. Rather the evidence is pretty clear on how primitive those people were.
