I find this particular set of archeological investigations to be amazing, and I'm glad to see larger awareness of them. But I think there's a good argument that Betteridge's law of headlines still applies.

Uh, generally yeah.
There are a few ways to combat this:

1. Talk to your neighbors and see what their assessments are like. In our city, assessments are done by "neighborhood", which in my case is 1 street of 85 houses.

2. Collect sales literature on houses for sale near you. This will point out all of the features of the house such as a finished basement that may not be reflected in city records. Ex: someone buys a house for $250K, puts a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a media room in the unfinished basement, then sells the house for $400K. If the city records say that house still has an unfinished basement, assessed values for all houses in the neighborhood will go up unrealistically. If you take the flyer to the Assessor's office, you can use it to protest the increase in your house which still has an unfinished basement.

3. Get an appraisal of your house if you get an unreasonable reassessment. In our city, they will not fight against an appraisal. Best thing is to get an appraisal for a loan because those tend to be lower.

4. If your neighbor gets an appraisal, use it to protest your assessment. I and another neighbor used a 3rd neighbor's assessment to protest our values.

5. Assessed values are usually public record. You can do some research and will find that values are all over the map. Use the ones to your advantage to protest your assessment. This would be a great startup idea, because the data is in a mish-mash of systems and difficult to access and compare.

6. I am a firm believer in protesting assessments for the simple reason that if everyone did it, or did it more often, it would overload the Assessor's office staff and they would have no choice but to do more reasonable assessments. I regularly compare my assessments with my neighbors and my assessments have gone up slower than my neighbors for the last several years, IMO because I have protested them twice.

Ive been in the end stage of this (worked on data validation for a good chunk of my career) and these are my thoughts on the article:

Determining blocking vs non blocking is a big issue - deciding which checks should be stoppers and which shouldn’t is often a matter of extensive debate. In my experience, only a few data checks are absolute show stoppers under any circumstance and a lot of things need to spawn tickets that should be routed to the correct team and followed up on. Some type of tracking system is necessary for this.

Defining the logic of checks themselves in YAML is a trap. We went down this DSL route first and it basically just completely falls apart once you want to add moderately complex logic to your check. AirBnB will almost certainly discover this eventually. YAML does work well for the specification of how the check should behave though (eg metadata of the data check). The solution we were eventually able to scale up with was coupling specifications in a human readable but parseable file with code in a single unit known as the check. These could then be grouped according to various pipeline use cases.

A model that plugs into an Airflow DAG as AirBnB has designed seems like a good approach. Often when it was time to incorporate checks into the pipeline we had heterogenous strategies to invoke our checks engines. Having a standardized approach helps drive adoption across the organization- oftentimes I’ve found that people are reluctant to run non critical checks if it’s a significant time and effort cost and will only run critical ones to try and push data quality accountability either upstream or downstream. If it’s really easy to turn on and incorporate that’s one less excuse that can be used to not run the checks.
This might have been it. There are way more episodes than I was familiar. If it's not it, then all I've been reminded today is how much amazing content has been provided by PBS.
From the first paragraph:

> What do I mean by this? I – and I’m assuming many who are not online or on Twitter on a regular basis – understand gender and sex to be interchangeable. When we say woman, we mean a homo sapiens with a female phenotype and XX chromosomes. When we say man, we mean a homo sapiens with a male phenotype and XY chromosomes. This is the “binary” that is somehow problematic, despite being a simple material reality. Calling it problematic is like calling out sand for being made of silicate to be problematic. Or calling out hydrogen peroxide for not liking silver problematic.

The author does not appear to understand the distinction between biological sex and the cultural understanding of gender, which is a core position of the "woke ideology" the author is trying to critique. Instead of presenting their opponent's arguments and then rebutting them, they double-down on the naturalistic fallacy.
I mean, it had been 50 years, it wasn't like there had been another war fought 10 years prior that also devolved into trench warfare that they completely failed to learn anything from.

This is the standard beta radioactive decay, which increases Z by 1, while the alpha radioactive decay decreases Z by 2 (and gamma decay does not change Z).

For every A (the number of nucleons in a nucleus) there is a ratio between (A-Z) and Z (i.e. between the number of neutrons and the number of protons) for which the mass of the nucleus is minimum.

Any other isobaric nuclei have an excess of mass over the nucleus with the optimal neutron/proton ratio, so they will decay towards it. The nuclei with too many protons will capture electrons or emit positrons, while the nuclei with too many neutrons will emit electrons, increasing the number of protons with each emitted electron, until the optimal neutron/proton ratio.

For the decay products of uranium and thorium, there are always too many neutrons, so the normal beta decay is what always happens.

It is possible to artificially produce nuclei with too many protons, and there are a few such unstable isotopes that are produced naturally, which decay by the reverse beta decay (electron capture or positron emission), where Z decreases by 1 for every captured electron / emitted positron.

For A = 3, the nucleus with minimal mass is helium-3. Tritium has too many neutrons in comparison with helium-3, and it must get rid of them by emitting an electron.

> Some people lie on their resumés.

My point isn't that I want to only chat about my resume - just that the problem you give me should be something I may encounter in the new job, ergo I do not need to prepare for that since my entire career prepared me for those (unless I want to reskill and the new job is different than the old one, then some preparation may be warranted).

> If they're able to deliver working code of some kind under the pressure of a job interview, then they're almost certainly about to actually program at least a little, so you can trust me of what you see in their background and what they tell you about their achievements.

Sure! But if the assignment is depending on stumbling upon a brilliant idea, instead of solving a problem that you may see in your day-to-day job, then I don't think it's useful. Think "trim a string" or "split a CSV" [1], not "find the longest increasing subsequence". And maybe also explicitly stick to ASCII encoding for string-based problems (but TBH, if a candidate asks about encoding, they probably know their stuff, or at least know where the gotchas are)...

I used to think that it was not only this, but the rate at which a group grows. Lobste.rs used to be interesting, but it either grew too much or the rate exceeded some point, but it has been moderation issue for a while now.

I have a very similar unit from Protectli running an OpenWrt x86 build. It's the best router/firewall I can think of for home/small business.

It replaced an enterprise-grade Mikrotik router, which while no doubt being more performant (it has hardware offload for routing/firewall), was a pain to configure and certain scenarios are almost impossible to implement (WAN failover where one of the WAN interfaces is a PPPoE link) on it where as in OpenWrt they work out of the box.

The lack of hardware offloading for firewall/routing doesn't seem to be an issue in practice for gigabit links.
I am in the process of applying for SSDI right now. AMAA, I suppose.

One of the first pieces of advice that I received in this process — and boy is it a process! — was, “don’t ever say anything that implies that you might want to or be able to go back to work someday.”

I mean, of course I want to go back to work someday! I don’t want to spend the rest of my life sick and below the poverty line, not to mention being sick is incredibly boring. I really want to be well and working and I feel like the vast majority of people in SSDI must be in the same boat.

Criteria for SSDI (paraphrasing) are that you must be disabled such that you can no longer do your job, are unable to do another job with your skills and level of ability and you’ll be in this situation for at least a year.

Even so, expressing even the desire to return to work someday beyond a year from now is apparently a sign that you can work right now to some examiners.

The entire process is wrapped in layers of fraud paranoia, even though the fraud rate is absolutely minuscule.

Never dismiss the possibility that your interviewer is bad.

I’m sorry but I’m still confused. Who are the people taking these inconvenient, unoptimal and expensive loans, when they can get better and cheaper loans through traditional means? Something doesn’t smell right.

Also ‘governance tokens’? This smells like another term for “money from new users entering the system”. Which is precisely how Ponzi schemes work.

EDIT: I went on a little scouting mission on google (well DDG actually) to find out if I could borrow some USDT on the Compound and how much it would cost me. But I mostly came across articles explaining how you could make money by doing the opposite (buying Tether and lending it), and numerous dashboards with all sorts of hard to understand data with the prices of various cryptocurrencies and some rates I couldn’t understand. I suspect that the only people borrowing USDT are actually also speculators that are invested in the cryptocurrency market (perhaps they are trying to short it).
A point I found interesting along the lines of perceived British ambivalence, my understanding is that the Emancipation Proclamation was a brilliant piece of diplomacy. It was anti-slavery enough to make it possible to convince Britain that the war was all about slavery and so they shouldn't intervene because of how much they were against slavery. Yet also weak enough against slavery - only freeing slaves in the territory they hadn't conquered yet - to make it possible to convince the Union officers and politicians that it was a tactical economic ploy against the Confederacy and not a changing of the primary war aims. They were rather ambivalent about slavery, and Lincoln himself feared that "half the officers would fling down their arms and three more states would rise" if he made full emancipation a primary war aim.
> If someone can find a path to jump from dependency to ownership, why "should" aid programs be structured to prevent that?

Because the next step from subsidized housing is to renting.

If we structured subsidizing housing programs such that they enabled people to save up for down payments, this creates a perverse incentive for normal renters to get into subsidized housing to accelerate their transition to home ownership. Any time you introduce a perverse incentive like this, you overwhelm the system as people who don’t need it start crowding out people who actually do need it.

Going straight from subsidized rental housing to home ownership doesn’t make sense. Going from subsidized rentals to non-subsidized rentals is the obvious next step.
My key takeaways:

* There is a bi-partisan bill that has been introduced into the Senate to fix this.

* The new savings limits would be $10,000 per person / $20,000 per couple, and would be indexed to inflation.

* This is senate bill S.4102 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/410...)

* So I suppose we should call or write our senators to help push this along.
This seems to match with his behavior and persona. Having worked in tech a long time, I can say that culture is always set from the top. I've worked in organizations where sexual harassment is tolerated; this is always because the CEO or founders regularly engage in it.

We all know how rampant sexual harassment and misconduct is at Musk-owned and operated companies. If this wasn't the case, I would tend to side with Musk, but it's not so it adds a lot of credibility to this report, perhaps enough to tip the scale enough to put the burden of proof on Musk. If in fact it can be shown she was paid $250,000 (a lot of money for a flight attendant), it looks very bad for him.

One of the things that I most hate about tech is the obsession and idolization over the founder, and how bad behavior by them is routinely tolerated. It always comes back to bite you in the end, and, at the end of the day, the founder would be nothing without their employees and engineers, who do all the hard work. With all the constant tweeting, public persona building, interviewing, is Musk really doing any work or adding any value to these companies? If he isn't actually involved in day to day operations, and all his value depends on his celebrity, he is in quite a difficult position -- not unlike a celebrity: one misstep and your entire career could be over. I do not envy his position.

Smart people will only tolerate working for a chauvinist with an outsized ego for so long.
Discoverability is a bit of an issue with the Fediverse in general. Those who run their own instances are initially quite "isolated" and hard to find, unless they advertise themselves on other channels.

Relays are supposed to make federated content more easily discoverable, but right now they're still far from being what I expect them to be (i.e. curated lists of instances categorized by topic, like an OPML that aggregates multiple feeds/channels based on some criteria), and they're instead saturated and endless streams of zillions of instances with no filtering/aggregation criteria and plenty of spam/adult content. And if you run your instance they're going to fill up your database storage FAST. After joining to the largest relay I immediately got my federated timeline flooded by erotic anime toots in Japanese and filled up 50 MB of db storage in an hour.

Fediverse user directories like those run by @FediFollows are good ideas for discovering new content, but they're still small (we're talking of a few hundreds profiles so far).

But I also believe that it's worth the effort of running your own instance. Right now most of the folks are on mastodon.social or mastodon.online. Fosstodon itself already has 21k users. The purpose of the Fediverse is to be as decentralized as possible, because smaller communities are easier to moderate, aggregate and federate. If everybody ends up signing up to 5-6 big instances, and the long tail is left to pick the crumbs, we'll have again the centralization problem that we were trying to solve.
I agree, however, there needs to be some sort of means test and phase-out. It’s equally absurd that somebody receiving Section 8 benefits should be able to save at a higher rate than somebody just outside the benefit range (and saving at a rate that buys a house above and beyond a reasonable emergency fund likely does that).
In this case I feel better about it because there is a natural limitation in that most people doing this will only have the scan because they are getting tested through a real clinical process. So effectively they are getting "standard of care" treatment implicitly, and all this does is accelerate their response to true positives. The worst case scenario is a false positive gives them a lot of anxiety / costs them money through trying to accelerate their real diagnosis only to find it isn't real.

Glad that worked out for you. After a day of watching my now 1.5 year old the brain fog sets in. I tried grinding Leetcode for a while but the pace of progress was glacial and nowhere near the recommended pace for BigCo interviews. I'm glad I went back to doing my own thing even though nothing has come of it yet. Doing Leetcode felt like memorizing party tricks that wouldn't even guarantee a job at the end.

The proper response to being scolded by HR for saying that is to ask what the person's username is, so you can speak to their manager.

Then, when you speak to the manager, ask them not to have their report telling people not to do things that HR doesn't have authority over (coworkers discussing health topics like that are not within the scope of HR).
