I think this is because Americans feel big-brotherly protective (in a creepy way) about their Latin American communities.

Altered versions of e.g. Italian food (e.g. pasta carbonara with cream, deep dish pizza, submarine sandwiches, chicken parmesan), Japanese food (California roll, Philadelphia roll), Chinese food (fortune cookies, General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli) don't cause similar reactions.
100% of the time, test equipment contributes some error. Usually the magnitude is small and the cause is unassignable - if you maintain the equipment. Whether your tests are destructive (to the sample) or not, you should be doing weekly or even daily Verification testing (of the same batch of whatever) and Control Charting the results. You should be doing MSA (Measurement Systems Analysis) and probably Uncertainty Budgets. Does your lab have ISO-17025 Accreditation? I hope so. But even if you do all the above, you will still be asked to retest. A test error is the best thing! If it's test error, then maybe there is no problem with materials, process, and sampling that produced the sample you are testing. No need to reject and/or rework - just correct the test! But if you get your test equipment under control, that mindset in the people above you will make sarcasm your constant companion.

> Pyramid scheme: making money based on recruiting an ever-increasing number of "investors."

This is correct. While looking into this for a friend I came across: "for a full year, you'll earn 0.5% APY on what each person you refer deposits" [1]. Still not a pyramid scheme, since 0.5% is a small fraction of the total yield paid out, but pyramidesque.

There's another disconnect here: you're treating contracts as a moral imperative, rather than as a civil agreement with failure clauses to be rationally considered. The government does the latter; why should an individual who makes a contract with the government treat it differently?
I'd call that a feature.

I hate the ambiguity that semicolon-less Javascript creates (a newline in the wrong spot, and your code starts to misbehave).
I wonder if being vocal about your sentiment about your country and people (ie, saying you never liked them) could be turning them off a bit? There is a lot of solidarity with Ukraine and Ukrainians right now. I don't know why you don't like us, but whatever the reason it may not be the reassuring sentiment you think it is to potential employers.

Besides, saying you were planning to move to the US may not be very reassuring to an employer in Ireland since now they may worry that you'll just leave them for the US (unless you're specifically applying for short term/one-year roles).

Maybe you can indicate your reliability and desire to stay in Ireland in a different way? Good luck!
I think the problem here is that rubber bridge is just very low intensity compared to most modern games.

Of course there’s a frisson when you correctly bid a slam or sacrifice to prevent your opponents from finding theirs. But most bridge players don’t even know how to recognize a borderline slam, and they just bid a game and don’t contest, leaving things pretty low stakes.

It’s so unfortunate that it takes 8 to play duplicate, as duplicate is my favorite of all games.

But I understand why people don’t get excited about bridge for 4.
I have no idea what things were like in Canada, or how they compared to America. But it seems off, imo, to call this piece a slap in the face to Americans when as far as I can tell the author isn’t asserting anything about anything outside of Canada.
> It's pathetic that regulators haven't stopped this nonsense.

As a result of the ICO scams in 2017 for example the infamous Ethereum DAO hack, perhaps that is why at least in the US, the SEC banned unregistered ICOs [0]; more countries to follow.

They have done 'something' about it, but it is not going to 'completely' stop otherwise they would have 'totally' banned all of them, including even registering an ICO with the SEC.

I won't be surprised to see stable-coin regulations this year with only a few of them still surviving.

We have never mandated the entire population, including children, to get vaccinated with a new vaccine based on cutting edge technology. England made vaccination of children mandatory nearly 50 years after the smallpox vaccine was developed.

I’m no anti-vaxxer. The only one of my kids who is eligible to be vaccinated got the vaccine. But I think it was the wrong call to mandate young, healthy people to get vaccinated to protect old people. I’m praying public health officials made the right call here.

> but coding them from scratch, from memory, within a fixed time? Pretty much never

This is definitely true, but having to do it quickly and on-the-spot is one way of measuring just how comfortable you are with it. You might never have to do it in an hour, but being able to is a proxy, however weak and indirect, for your competence, and guess what, I only have an hour to talk to you.

I love and hate leetcode interviews. I enjoy the challenge, and I hate being put on the spot and knowing that poor performance on one specific problem might result in an unwarranted thumbs down. I sincerely hope any interviewer whose chair I'm sitting in treats them the way I do, which is that it isn't important that you come up with the optimal solution; it's important that you can think through the problem and come up with any solution, however inefficient, and then honestly evaluate this solution (including big O) and point out how it could be improved. You probably don't have time to implement that improvement, but you've demonstrated competence in both thinking and coding along the way.

Edit to add: When I'm preparing to interview, I practice leetcode-style problems, but not so much to memorize all the questions and their answers as much to just practice my quickness for thinking and coding on that type of thing. It feels kinda silly because, as you point out, that's pretty much not a part of the job at all, but it's very very helpful to exercise your mental muscles for that sort of thing so you don't stumble over the simple mechanics of the problem. It feels absolutely great when you get a question you've never heard before but you've put yourself in the mental state to solve it and you kill it. And like it or not, I've personally found that people who enjoy this type of challenge are often the exact types of coders I want to work with.

Most of the waste is Uranium which can be put back into reactors, the most dangerous long-lived element in the waste is Plutonium which is also a good nuclear fuel.

Remove those elements plus the higher actinides (Neptunium, Americium, Curium, ...) and almost all of the radioactivity in the fission products has decayed by 500 years... It's less radioactive at that point than the Uranium ore was when it was mined.

Burying the fuel rods was a half-baked idea that was come up with in a hurry in the 1970s because of racist fears that brown people would learn to reprocess nuclear fuel and develop nuclear weapons. Now we are facing the certain danger of getting fried by global warming as opposed to a hypothetical threat of nuclear war.

Booking a restaurant is generally ok by phone but if you try to do it online you often get some crappy random website that’s different every time. I can imagine a world where you do it by some messenger interface which somehow Facebook make hard to fuck up for the business. I can imagine that being good, half good (I think there are roughly two kinds of booking. One starts with criteria about date/time/occasion/party/budget/location/cuisine and looks for available places and the other starts with a specific restaurant with other particulars relatively free. An experience might only work well for one), or bad. But it isn’t obviously bad.

Much as a decentralised Internet has good properties, having every small business outsource a nontrivial online presence to a bunch of crappy other companies that lack the scale or incentives to do well is not one of them.

Yep, I do all my own designs. When I got into the hobby in 2014, there weren't nearly as many ergo designs floating around (at least that I was aware of!), so I learned OpenSCAD to design a keyplate and 3d printed it, with a big awkward block of foam for support. I used that janky keyboard as my daily driver at work for at least 4 years. If your keyboard is perfect for you, it doesn't have to look perfect!

I mostly built the 120% because it was quite a challenge to play Final Fantasy XIV on a compact split ergo. (And because my girlfriend gifted me a set of Evangelion keycaps and it felt like a huge shame not to use all 127 of them.) It was pretty much an excuse to fit all of the keycaps that I had into a mostly normal keyboard layout. The extra keys are things like F13-F24 (poor OS support on those but I remap them to useful shortcuts for FFXIV with AutoHotkey), media controls, a language switcher, stuff like that.

If you want to try your hand at creating your own designs, it's actually not that hard to get started in my opinion, at least from a hardware perspective. I went from never having soldered or 3d printed before to typing on a working keyboard in the space of a weekend hackathon. All you need is the electronics hardware (microcontroller, keyswitches, keycaps, diodes, wire) and some form of keyplate and support. I would recommend lasercut acrylic since it's not very hard to get started with the 2d design with a variety of software options. If you have 3D printing experience and access to a printer then that might be quicker and more convenient.

I have a few designs on GitHub if you want to take a look:

The Sandiego [1] was my first design and so the firmware is pretty simple, so it might be an okay starting point there. I used OpenSCAD for the keyplate design and didn't make a case ever. There were wires hanging everywhere and it was a guaranteed conversation starter at work. Entirely handwired, so no PCB design either.

The Sigmar [2] has a keyplate and case designed in SolveSpace, which worked ok but it was a bit tedious. For this sort of 2D design, I think it was overkill. I used QMK for the firmware, which was kind of a pain in the ass to be honest. I probably wouldn't use it again. You get a lot of features built in for free though, which is definitely a selling point. I did a PCB design in KiCAD and I would absolutely recommend doing the same for your second keyboard. (Wire one by hand first!)

The Type K [3] is the 120%. Did the keyplate and case design in straight Python, generating DXF files for lasercutting. (I made a few mistakes in the design which I had to bodge with a bit of drilling...) The firmware is a beast because it has no dependencies on any USB libraries or anything. Wouldn't recommend that route unless you were seriously interested in USB, but it was definitely educational. PCB design again in KiCAD.

Go, teach your kids Go.
Russophobia aside, the next-gen russian nuclear model (first exporter in the world, of nuclear plants) is built in 3.5 years, which is state of the art. And at the same time has a high throughput (1300MWe) (much higher than the billion dollar mini-reactor fad) and state of the art longevity.
It's very difficult for me to find the actual prices, of the different nuclear plants models competitors, but since most of the cost is construction cost and 3.5 year is SOTA, I assume, if Russia price them reasonably that this will shift the balance of nuclear energy competitivity worldwide. (china nuclear is already price competitive however they don't export (yet?))

> If someone attempts to smuggle in a bunch of cocaine at the US-Canada border and gets their car and the cocaine confiscated, is not as troubling.

But in this case, the person could be arrested and it should be (is?) possible to confiscate the possessions they have on them. But the confiscation should be "against the person", not the object. And if the judicial system can't prove the person was guilty of a crime, and that those possessions were involved, then they should need to return them.

The way things currently work, that same person could be coming across the border with $20,000 in cash on them. The police see it and decide it _must_ be crime related because "who would carry that kind of money on them for any other reason" and confiscate the money... all without actually charging the person with a crime.

And that's bad. And the fact that it's a border issue is irrelevant. At most, the border officers should be saying "we're not comfortable with you bringing that much money over the border in cash, you are denied entry", and sending them back along their way.
> And people keep trying to argue the US has a great healthcare system

I've never heard anyone argue that the billing and payment aspects of the US healthcare system are great.
