Critical Thinking is not something you turn on and off. It is a way of life.

Like any other attainable skill, it becomes better with practice.

First, start reading descent novels- any kind of novel that you will. It can be Stephen King-type, Tolkien-type, Dune-type- anything.

Start your critical thinking practice with humans. Empathize with them. Also become a little cynical. Try to find out someone's motives, background, etc. behind what they do and tell.

This is way you can practice critical thinking a lot. Never judge anyone. Judgmental mentality clouds clear thinking.

Try to understand where the character of a novel comes from, why they do what they do. What would you have done? These lead to better situation-reading for any situation.

Then, do anything that requires critical thinking. Play chess. Learn HS/college level math. Solve a lot of problems yourselves.

Look at past questions from coding competitions. Do not worry about the time. Solve them.

To be good at critical thinking, just practice thinking.

I also suggest maintaining a journal/blog. Here you write your heart out, simply walk the steps that you have traveled while solving a problem. If there is a thought clouding, just write is down clearly. Do not worry about writing quality. Just write.

Writing makes thinking mamy times better. And I do not say that lightly.

Maintain habits where you practice critical thinking.

There's also the quote from Einstein: "A person who has not made his great contribution to science before the age of 30 will never do so."

I'll gladly take a fishing rod (used laptop with SSD and >=8GB RAM to code), if anyone has one to spare. I'll also work off a laptop at a favorable hourly rate.

Can fish; need a rod (laptop) and directions to a sufficiently stocked "special needs" river (low stress coding gig). Able to walk uphill in both directions to school (write robust code), while chewing bubblegum (DevSecOps wannabe).

Vitess, the underlying tech, only disallows FKs if you use online schema changes. They have to be on the same logical shard, and it just uses standard MySQL FKs. Hopefully Planetscale allows them in the future, as long as you're willing to give up OSC. We've been running Vitess for years with that trade-off and it works great.
It’s probably cost prohibitive to shoot down tens of thousands of satellites with conventional rockets. They’d need SpaceX-like reusable technology to get to a point where it costs about as much to shoot them down as it takes to get them into orbit.

Personally I'm conflicted on this issue, and not sure what to think.

On the one hand I am from Massachusetts, was raised in an anti-gun environment, and have never owned a gun. I remember a particular billboard in Boston near the Berkeley college of music which was a "quote" (obviously not a quote because he was dead) from a Parkland school shooting victim saying something like "If my state [Florida] had Massachusetts gun laws I wouldn't be dead", or something like that. Of course this could be true, I find the particular Massachusetts gun laws to be fairly reasonable (background check, waiting period, etc.), but I was always put off by the fact that whatever group put up the billboard falsely quoted a dead teenager to push their agenda.

On the other hand I completely understand the stance of 2nd amendment absolutism, where the crux of the argument is that the second amendment directly prevents tyranny by allowing an armed populace to act as a deterrent. I've also seen the historical examples of populations willfully disarming themselves only to fall to outside invasion or internal tyranny (both striking possibilities in America today). I also understand that other countries which have outlawed guns are insufficient comparisons, because if the _entire_ western system was unarmed, then tyranny could prevail, but as long as only the singular America was armed, tyranny could not take over the western world.

I can't help but to feel that we are collectively missing the forest for the trees here, and school shootings are simply a symptom of greater evils. I also can't help but feel that the reaction to these evils (calls for eliminating gun rights altogether) will inevitably lead to more evil.
It’s kind of like a payday loan type of micro-lending that integrates with merchants similarly to PayPal. I’ve never understood the appeal, it feels super predatory. But most creditors do, I guess.

I think I have some analog photos, but I never scanned them in. Anyhow, there were five tribes, so I don't remember specifics about the Karen, and these might be about the other tribes.

Details: we were told to bring gifts for the women & children, but not for the men. For the women, only threads & needles for sewing. For the kids, just wrapped candy.

When we got there, the kids all got together and sang for us. Then they said, "OK, now you sing to us!" The rest of the group was British, so the only song they all knew was "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."

They had a big hut that the tourists slept in. After dinner, the women would bring out their crafts and sell them to us.

It's not true that roosters crow when the sun comes up. They crow when it's still dark.
In contrast with bio-fuels if you can't make the right chemical soup for this specific model of engine well too bad, buy a new engine or undertake expensive conversion

Something like biodiesel is almost entirely a drop-in replacement, and diesel engines will burn a wide range of flammable liquids. Gasoline engines can be fairly easily converted to burn a bunch of other fuels too.

It was about first generation international travelers showing up with thousands of dollars in electronics in places with much less tolerance for wealth inequality, feeling entitled to selectively decide when to follow local customs.

Poor idea because energy generation environmental impact varies wildly, and also environment is impacted by far more factors than just energy generation. Do your milking cows' methane emissions count as energy generated? Does your land clearing for crops count?

If you somehow try to factor these things in then your "energy" currency is no longer tied to energy so you might just as well call it a dollar.

As a data point, I interviewed recently for a leadership role and had a somewhat similar experience to the link you provided. A change of the interviewer at the last minute, and the interviewer seemed to have a particular answer in their mind and was not open to engaging.

I can understand when it comes to interviewing for a leadership position, some of the interview may be based on 'fit' rather than just the display of problem solving skills w.r.t the interview question, but to me it didn't seem like they were particularly interested in testing either. I have 10+ years of experience operating in a large $XB FinTech and my expertise was an almost exact match for the work the position they were looking to hire.

I'd like to think that it was that specific group within Stripe that had that issue, but the posts on Hacker news have me thinking otherwise.

There was definitely some farming among the hill tribes, but I don't know by whom.

We visited one tribe that was considered Bad by the missionaries, so we didn't stay there. They were thought Bad because they all chewed betel nut and consequently had red mouths.
>Believe it or not, one of the tribes was called the Karens.

I found a source for others since I know I didn't :-)

They have to be mostly open because someone getting a truck repaired is pretty likely to be in the middle of bumfuck Kansas and needs the truck moving right now so they don’t take a claim on a multi-$100k load.

I’m sitting in one of our terminals right now and there a lot more trucks than usual that are (maybe) waiting on parts to get back on the road. A lot of money tied up in those things not generating revenue parked in the yard.
Yeah, and you could additionally emphasize the undeserved pretension and self centered-ness of the company: The Facebook.
I don't buy it. Creators make audiences, and platforms know this. Users have to take what they get, but producers have options. This is why YouTube hosts content for free, makes advertising and monetizing easy, works to lower the barriers to entry and make independence unnattractive. If creators switched to distributing through their own servers or a different CDN or IPFS or bittorrent or whatever, they would have to figure out the fiddly unfun bits on their own.

VPN services have a similar dilemma - privacy service you pay for. Two solutions I can think of, broadly - first, a standard “we keep as little info as possible” type policy goes a long way. You’re competing with Google, who’s privacy policy is just the laughing emoji, so a real commitment and a policy to back it goes pretty far. Second, this is actually a good use case for crypto, so if you don’t already accept btc, it’s worth considering.

You’re right, though - you’ll never please the hard core tinfoil crowd, but that’s not the whole privacy-interested crowd.

In 2003, “ether” might have referred to “Ethernet”, wired networking.

When I lived in Montreal, I used to love the "Underground City" in winter (and in the height of summer). Basically the entire downtown area is connected by tunnels. I used to have a colleague who lived in an apartment building connected to it. He would often show up at work in short sleeves and no coat because he could walk the couple of miles from his building to work completely underground.

> If you bill £1,000 an hour, as some senior lawyers do, then any particular six-minute increment of time is available to be turned into £100. Can you really afford an hour in the gym? Can you really afford to call your mother or read a bedtime story to your child?

This really hit home.

Thinking like this cost me so many relationships in my late 20s and 30s. Working for startups & agencies, getting paid a bonus for launches or finding extra billable time on some projects -- and worse, even when I didn't have an insane deadline, I would usually find reasons to work.

"Oh sorry, [Girlfriend], I won't be at dinner with your friends tonight, you go without me... I've gotta work..." And I would use it as an excuse to get out of things I didn't really want to do too. "Oh sorry, [Mom & Dad], I don't have time to drive you to your cousin's funeral, but I'd be happy to send some flowers."

And what 27 year-old wants to do those things? They aren't fun, they're tedious, there's no ROI.

Except... years later, in my 40s, I really wish I had spent the afternoon with my parents grieving, to gain a bit more experience with that. And to hear their stories and memories of people who meant things to them. I really wish I made time for a few more of my ex-girlfriends too...

There will always be someone willing to help you turn each hour of your life into a paycheck. But man, you really can't put a price tag on a lot of things, and there aren't always do-overs.

Make predictions, record them, and then honestly evaluate how accurate they were.
Things are transitioning, and disruptively so. Transitions aren't necessarily collapses, but they can certain look and quack like it before any benefit arises.

Just take the whole arc of the Industrial Revolution for an example: more goods start flowing and more resources start being available, but simultaneously, people are pushed to work harder for lower wages; sunrise to sunset at the factory, tenement housing, etc. It takes generations before most really start seeing the visible benefit to their lifestyle. And the benefit is achieved through a series of fights - violent ones - to secure a new social contract.

So where does it end? Where do we get the source of optimism for this transition? Well, look at the people analyzing the stats. Hans Rosling has long been popular for his positive framing of demographic changes. More recently Tony Seba has taken on a similar role in framing technology changes. They point to the graphs and say: "our trends are going here, not there." And "here" looks pretty good, but also surprising, because it doesn't behave linearly.

The thing is, we don't address most societal challenges in a "Fix-it Felix" heroic fashion: either we find a technology that changes the game (which is produced mostly from people given the necessary access to resources to commit to lengthy trial and error - hence a lot of advancements are perceived as elite phenomena), or we let it fall into the political sphere, where a fight takes place and someone is declared a winner and their opinions become the law, for a while.

Given the option to do so, don't be too concerned about picking a "right" job. Jobs emerge from what the market can support, and when some jobs are called more right than others, that's a factor of politics. The only way to truly remove the politics is to create more spheres of autonomy, which could happen not just "within" jobs but "without", by e.g. trying to redefine your household lifestyle.
Layaway is the opposite: pay now, buy later.
It's a little late for crypto shills to rebrand. I don't think the word 'shill' is uncalled for at this point. I've been burned a bit and so have some of my friends and family. I haven't seen anyone offering refunds, just lovely names like "degenerate."
Agree. Though, in my outsider perception Alphabet == Google + a bunch of failed stuff + self driving cars.

Whereas Meta == Facebook + an absurd $$$$$ attempt to convince the public wearing headsets is revolutionary + forget about that whole destroying society thing.

At least the self driving cars might have positive net impact.

YouTube's 1080p60 is already at a decimation ratio of about 200:1, then you have to consider how efficient P and B frames are with motion/differences. if your data looks like noise you're gonna be completely screwed since the P and B frames will absolutely destroy the quality.

There's a bunch of other things too, like YUV420p and TV colour range: 16-235, so you only get 7.7bits / pixel.

If anything you would want to encode your data in some way that abuses the P and B frames, and the macro block size of 16x16.

Coding theory for the data output at your end is only one side of the coin, the VP9 codec stupidly good compression is a completely different game to wrangle.

And I kinda doubt you'll get much better than your estimate of 1% from the original scheme.
