I guess it depends whether you think people actually starting to use this stuff, as intended, will be a good thing.

I think the more people actually "take the bullshit seriously", it'll be like trying to take the emperor's new clothes and sell them at your local discount store.

Ie., there is no actual use case for any of this. Its only useful insofar as it exists as a ponzi asset (ie., it only has value because other people want it because other people want it... because other people want it...).

It doesnt actually solve any problems.. so the more a recession deflates bubbles, the more that businesses/projects/etc. will need to show actual economic value to survive.

Bitcoin has a "marginal productive value" in something, i'd say, c. 100 USD region. As in, the slow, largely useless, bitcoin transaction network provides the service of "publically, reliably, slowly" processing a block of transactions between parties.

How much value does that have? AS A SERVICE, really... almost none.

You could create a better competitor service tomorrow, and charge much less to use it (hence: all the other coins).

Crypto isnt like gold: there isnt a limited supply. You can just create more coins: doge, eth, etc. THere's an infinite supply of self-liming coin systems. It's trivial to create a competitor service.

So think about bitcoin as an actual product: trivial to out-compete, provides basically no useful service, horrifically slow. As a business model, its DOA.
"what if we invest in their careers, and they leave?" - Does that also apply to decision makers?
I like to recommend what we did as young parents for the past many years:

Get a large room air purifier to simultaneously (1) generate a large spectral range of white noise while also (2) keeping plastic etc. dust out of their lungs (for almost half their life while they sleep so much).
INDYCAR, America’s top open wheel racing series, is just turning around the momentum from its disastrous CART/USAC schism. From the top series in the world, neck and neck with F1, with a unique product and good infrastructure, to a product that struggled to make it onto TV.
Are they really facts?

8/10 current millionaires grew up middle class or lower.

Most wealth is lost in 2 generations.
I've worked at companies that tried to have explicit 20% policies, and it worked okay for some period of time, but then became difficult to prioritize. That said, I've typically been pretty successful at casually using 10 - 20% of my time to work on random low hanging fruit (dev ergonomics, performance, etc). For some reason using a quiet Friday afternoon, or time between tickets seemed to work better than an explicit "work on whatever you want every Friday".
I think that’s unfair. By tying things to domains that way, you also make it potentially difficult to change URL structure (look at how long the various go.com domains lasted across all Disney/ABC properties. I know of teams that had very real problems years later b/c the infra was still based on domain stuff that was setup 15 years prior when the parent company thought internet portals were worth spending billions on), not to mention if you want to spin-off or sell an asset. Or if you acquire an asset!

To say nothing of SSOs, where you might not want to carry your login across, but you’d like to have the option of saying “yes, I’d like to use this account here too” and then authenticate.
Why STEPN’s Collapse Is Inevitable?
Maybe, but I've also seen HR departments be the first to go in lean times.

We effectively didn't have an HR department at my previous job, at a company of 500+ people. And they did when I first started, about a dozen people.

The Shift from Data Pipelines to Data Products
If you run your own DNS server(s) and point your network to them, there's nothing stopping you from using whatever domains you want, and ICANN can't stop you.

I'm surprised that some popular alternate DNS system hasn't emerged on the open internet yet. I think TOR comes close, but you're not in full control of the domains.

You've got the premise backwards; you should try to live a full as possible, not die slowly. An extra few years at the end are worth a lot less than in the middle.
Personally I do because I enjoy working with very smart people.

The backlash against leetcode is the same as backlash against other types of tests: most people are going to fail and most people don't like failing, so they blame the test.
I don't understand why they still haven't changed their ugly black flat icons, they are just horrendous. And the default fonts on KDE have always been bad too. I feel that with just a couple of tweaks it could be much much more pleasant.
Sites can't see the existence of other sites' cookies. They can, however, request resources from other sites. Those requests, in turn, would send third-party cookies, if any, to the third-party server _and_ save new third-party cookies in response. "Tracking beacons" abuse this behavior to correlate user behavior across many web sites.
Maybe they figure most linux users can tweak the settings, install & configure plugins on whatever browser they're using to harden things up with the hassle overhead they can live with..?

This rings true to me.

Perhaps the strangest part is realizing that managing your own ambition is a necessity for living a healthy life. Pure, unbridled ambition can theoretically have a massive reward, but it's far more likely (statistically) to cause you to neglect other meaningful life pursuits to a damaging degree.

In other words, I am the only one who can increase or decrease my own ambition, which means that I can't avoid responsibility for the fact that I am less ambitious now than I was coming out of college. I am mentally healthier, but it's also entirely possible that, had things worked out a little differently, I could have been just as (or more) ambitious and _also_ been mentally healthy. Being aware of this in some ways makes it harder to further downgrade my own ambition in service of a better life.

Some things you can fully control, and others you can't. I can't fully control the rejections, but I can control how I manage my ambition and how I view my life. I'm not sure this is particularly satisfying, but it's better than many alternatives.

Is your source: Just trust me bro, I heard it from my really smart uncle.

According to actual research:

Looking at larger moves, only 4% of those raised in the bottom quintile moved up to the top quintile as adults.

There's other studies in there as well that all demonstrate intergenerational mobility is single digit percentile from bottom to the top meanwhile from middle and upper classes it's much more.

It's much easier to move from bottom to middle class where you work as a drone for some rich person. This provides a platform for your kids to attempt to launch from in the next generation or two or three or four if ever.

Without independence, same as now. Given that even including north sea revenue Scotland is still subsidised by London

There's tons of future stuff that could be invested in Scotland -- offshore wind and tidal and pumped hydro for example. That investment isn't there because the UK (and the EU for that matter) is market led and the market wants short term results over long term investment.
We should stop empowering individuals to have this authority over a majority.

No one seems to care about the huge effects this has on private citizens.

All the concern is with the ephemeral belief these businesses are the future.

Anyone remember Nortel? 80% of last generations Fortune 500 is gone.

The future has no obligation to drag along, and will probably mock how primitive it is, our bleeding.

These guys are traditional confidence men promising prosperity for the ages while routinely pumping and dumping all over the public, that despite what memes media and politics try to peddle, does not owe deference to history and self aggrandizing story.
> the PGA side is appealing to fair play and morals

I don't see how the Tour that is excluding people from participating gets to position themselves as the bastion of "fair play", especially when the motivation for that exclusion is explicitly to maintain a monopoly.

Not that I support the LIV tour, but this seems hypocritical coming from the PGA side.
Both of those trends show decreasing deaths until about 2013, after which point they began rising again. Notably, the gunshot death curve resembles the overall US homicide death curve, and we have a pretty good idea what was driving that trend.
I was hoping this would be about the entire business model imploding since golf has no place in the modern era. We need to be using land for important things like food and re-wilding to preventing climate collapse and mass species extinctions.
Or, you know, you could just listen to people.

Qualitative evidence is just fine. We might want to stop exclusively fetishizing numbers, and instead of complaining how hard it is to find data, do something to fix the problems right in front of our face.

On the other hand, a C or Java engineer can probably be pretty confident that there will be jobs for the foreseeable future. Pretty much the Lindy effect in action.
This made me laugh out loud because it was so unexpected but also makes perfect sense.
I'm still not seeing what's bonkers. The point of contention between you and the Kremlin isn't who's on what side, but which side is good and which, evil. But that's not encoded in "pro-" or "anti-".

You don't think the dissidents would be proud to consider themselves, and their activities, anti-Soviet? Would they correct us, and insist that they were actually being pro-Soviet?

If you're talking about literally the companies that bought as part of the initial IPO then yes, most are trading below their opening day prices. But all YC companies IPOed during the post-GFC bull market, and are now being valued in a different regime, so that's not unexpected especially with the YC hype.

DBX and ABNB are doing well (they're down relative to the highs of the last year or two but so is everything in tech). GTLB also looks like a pretty strong company given their solid market positioning and quality enterprise SaaS metrics. I'd classify those 3 as doing well overall.
Any suggestions on how to develop this skillset later in life? Books you'd recommend, etc.?
>SWEs make less than any other professional

Except for almost all of them. Aside from a few exceptions (doctors, laywers), everyone else makes significantly less. A structural engineer with a master's degree for exemple will makes less than half (closer to 3 - 4x in my region).
Ouch. Out of curiosity, are those local or federal regulations?
I like this in a certain light. It's not so much a problem that PRs should be associated with tickets, it just sounds like the gatekeeping involved in getting tickets into an iteration is horribly overbearing. There _should_ be work happening that is driven by technical wants and needs, and the PO should be amenable to that.

Redundancy is a different matter to firing for cause, and I definitely read 'firing' as meaning the latter.

I suspect the fact that some people in this thread read it the way I do, and others (I guess including you?) read 'firing' to include redundancy, is causing a fair amount of confusion / people talking past each other.

(I'm not claiming I'm right and you're wrong, btw, just observing a linguistic disconnect)

The same as in the good times.

1. Create a budget

Know how much you spend per month, and what are essentials (Rent, Food, Transport etc.) and what can go if you really need to (Netflix, eating out, etc.)

2. Have 3-6 months expenses in an emergency fund

Usually cash or things not likely to tank during a downturn like stock/crypto.

I don't remember the 'satisfying the borrow checker' phase lasting more than a few weeks. Once you internalize the rules the borrow checker gets out of your way and it's more of a sanity check.

I think part of the issue is that it wasn't very well explained in the book at the time I started learning rust. This might have improved since.
Personally, I use uBlock Origin more to block obnoxious ads than to block the tracking.

I'm not sure I really care that much about tracking, honestly. So what if reddit knows I bought a toaster on Amazon recently? What are they going to do with that data, show me toaster ads? I'm going to be blocking that ad. Sell the fact that I bought a toaster? Whatever. It's all going to be so advertisers can personalize ads...which I will be blocking.

> We can’t even push to a git repo unless it has a linked work item/story/task/bug

Exactly the same where I work. The pace of getting things done is absolutely glacial compared to what you know you could achieve if you had any agency. I think the only reason this organization I'm temporarily a part of can even compete is that all its competitors must be equally inefficient.

From the standpoint of dictionaries (and history, usage, and etymology), "see" refers to the eye. Below are the first entries in three different dictionaries and an etymological entry. All refer to the eye and not the brain or other intermediate locations.

Dictionaries:

merriam webster: to perceive by the eye [1]

dictionary.com: to perceive with the eyes; look at [2]

cambridge: to be conscious of what is around you by
using your eyes: [3]

Etymology:

eymonline: Middle English sēn, from Old English seon (Anglian sean)
"be or become aware of by means of the eye; look, behold;"
and
It is attested by late Old English as "be able to see with the
eyes, have the faculty of sight, not be blind." [4]

Leaving aside the question of whether it's advisable to have the government in this business in the first place, I'd say we should at least agree that, if it's going to happen, financial institutions that benefit from these programs should be required to be absolutely allergic to risk. Letting firms make questionable loans and pocket the profits while passing the risk on to taxpayers has, as far as I'm aware, never worked out well in practice.
> Language evolves.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean people can't resist stupid changes.

Crypto meaning "cryptography" is far better IMHO than crypto meaning "that weird speculative fad from the early 21st century that made old scams great again." Cryptography is a pretty important, proven useful technology.

> "Piracy" used to involve cannons.

To nitpick, that's because muzzle-loading cannons are obsolete weapons. Classic piracy still happens, and the pirates still use guns.

> The pay isn't great--the kids getting $300K packages out of Stanford are an exception; it's a marketing expense.

You don't have to make 300k for the pay to be great. Even if you fall short of that and land at a company that only pays you $120k, you're still making a killing compared to most other professions.

> Corporate SWE is pretty awful

Then get out of Corporate. I work for an SMB, make about as much as I used to in Corporate, but the stress level and workload makes is much easier. Everyone want's one of those SWE jobs for a company that is in the news, but in fact you want the exact opposite. You want a low profile job at a company no one outside your niche has heard of. The pay is about the same, work is 10x less crazy, and if you disagree with a decision, usually you know the person that made it because the company is only about 200 employees.
To me it is acceptable if the management class is drawn from tech people. MBA people are largely.. not the type of person I am interested in being managed by.

Big tech that I work at generally doesn't have MBA type managers and it is good.

This. Foster agencies lead you to believe that fostering leads to adoption. It gets more people into the system (more $ for them!). But the state's goals are to reunite children with their parents or a relative. Even movies that feature fostering in a realistic way often end with adoption, which is completely unrealistic.

It almost never actually happens that children you foster will go to adoption, since it is literally a last resort. Even if a child ends up in adoption, it will be years later and probably with someone else since those children are the worst case scenarios and are routinely replaced with family before re-entering the system.

This definition clears up it up nicely for me:

"In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal... A sample is a value of the signal at a point in time and/or space; this definition differs from the usage in statistics, which refers to a set of such values."

So it's a sample in the sense a set of (x, y, z, w) values from discrete timesteps represents a continuous timestep, but doesn't require specifying and using random variables to determine those timesteps.

I'm glad people get PhDs in things like ethics. But ethics isn't like nuclear physics -- everyone alive has an enormous amount of experience in it.
