I think even larger problem is how we don't correlate the other thread on here right now about how America can't build anything anymore with the over financialization of the society.

The amount of human capital spent on the thousands of hedge funds and financial products the last 30 years is staggering and we basically have nothing to show for it other than unproductive pooling of capital. Given the incentives though it is borderline individually foolish to build anything in the physical world.

I don't even think political corruption is near the worst part. It is the complete distortion of risk preferences and the distortion of what is even meant by "investing".

At least the financial swindlers of old actually laid down thousands of miles of rail in their process of swindling. Now in the name of market efficiency we have a systemic process of trading options on options on options on options in an endless chain to the point the underlie has practically vanished.

At least crypto is honest and doesn't even pretend there is an underlie, just a call option on nothing straight up. Everyone knows that is most of the financial system outside crypto too but with an accompanied financial theatrical performance by the participants. Even complete with Shakespearean bullshit language to make it sound more real.

"I am not trading options on thin air. This is an arbitrage opportunity on a derivatives price that will help to facilitate market efficiency. It is almost like the way a physical bridge facilitates people getting across a river but we don't have to waste years actually building a bridge, take a fraction of the risk of bridge building and the return is 100X better."

I am sure some future Edward Gibbon will come up with a name for this process while writing their historical masterpiece on why the West imploded.

Reminds me of an interview I watched with some hedge fund asshole talking about how they were "creating value" by raising the rent of old people in trailer parks. As if raising the rent of old people in trailer parks is basically like building a bridge across a river.
I created a business by following influencers on Twitter. I realized that some of them were complaining about the same things and created a service to help them.

I know I was lucky, but following these people allowed me to realize there was a niche to serve.

Technical people are often blind to this as they always feel they need to be on top of a field to create a solution.

It's always sad to me to hear of people reading Shakespeare as "literature". Shakespeare's not meant for reading. (Most plays, indeed, don't read very well.)

Unfortunately, it's also a bit hard to find a well-performed production (even in professional companies), but that's the way to experience Will's works.
I actually like the Elizabethan English in Shakespeare, but it's good to have a text with footnotes that explain some things. One thing we miss in modern times is a lot of Shakespeare's puns. The words he punned on have shifted in pronunciation such that the word play is no longer clear. For example, one play had a pun on raisin and reason, which were pronounced similarly in Shakespeare's day. Some are bawdy puns, such as hour vs. whore. Some groups are putting on productions of his plays in reconstructed "OP" (Original Pronunciation) and I hope to hear one some day.

Biotech/genomics and AI/ML are following very interesting parallel trajectories over the last ~10 years.

In biotech, we have developed incredible tools: DNA editing (CRISPR), synthesis, and sequencing. We have a lot of tools but we haven't cracked systems level understanding yet.

In AI/ML, we have developed algorithms that can ace tasks thought impossible just 15 years ago. We have a hunch of how and why they work, but we lack deep understanding.
Lovely, but kind of an overwrought interface for what can be found in other places also completely and freely.

Also hot take: we need to stop making kids read Shakespeare in School.

Shakespeare wrote plays. They were meant to be heard and seen. Filled with drama and comedy (lots of poop and sex jokes). Imagine if we forced children to experience Star Wars as a screenplay, read aloud in class? It’s ridiculous.

The plays themselves had a runtime of approximately only 2.5 - 3 hours. No need to stretch out Romeo and Juliet for weeks reading through passage by painful passage. Let them watch the movie version and then discuss certain parts or re-enact it themselves. Shakespeare was entertainment. And we now treat him like some kind of biblical text. It’s crazy!

edit: and to reinforce that last point, Shakespeare was put his plays in the Globe theater, across the River Thames, which at the time was not considered London proper. He was also not a court playwright and considered at best, midbrow. The “high art” playwright of the time who did play in London proper was Ben Johnson.

There is even a theory that Shakespeare was Ben Johnson’s secret identity so he could write freely away from the stuffy conventions of high society and the court. Like, Shakespeare was not high art. We must stop treating him that way and kill the love of literature in children by forcing them dryly read “To be or not to be.”
The other comments are wrong.

The USA is very different from the UK because of puritans.

American Christians are much more puritan than Brits (this is true for abortion, but also for tee-totaller movements, and other things)

A lot of American Christians are anti abortion, for the simple yet totally valid reason that they truly believe that embryos are human lives, and that as such they shouldn't be "murdered".

The question of the threshold is central here. Noone in their right mind is pro abortion past 30 weeks of pregnancy. Similarly, no one is really against the morning-after pill.

This issue has been whipped up by the right wing, but they did it IN ORDER TO get more voters (who deeply cared about that issue), and not the other way around.
Don’t forget the constant cycle of “payment service starts up to service horny creators, payment service prospers, payment service gets big enough for Visa/MC to notice that it’s doing porn, payment service suddenly starts kicking off large swathes of the creators it helped”. OnlyFans is the latest in a long line of this.
That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Even atheists and pro-abortion people have been complaining that the ruling in Roe vs Wade was a huge stretch. At the end of the day, its not a constitutional issue. So either amend the constitution or leave the decision up to the states.
Agree with the premise, and it can be more effective to choose a different medium for your follow-up communication. Someone not responding to email? Try sending an IM or giving them a phone call.
I used S3 a few years ago so this might not be as big of a problem now. But when I started using presigned POST requests to upload documents directly to S3 from the client, there were sporadic problems from the US military, some corporations, and many K-12 schools. S3 would be blocked on their end (likely because someone downloaded a malicious file from S3, and a system admin blocked the whole domain without realizing what they were doing).
I (from NL) have been in ES and PT for a long time and noticed that Spanish natives make a scene when it is urgent; crying or shouting or both with certain types of (semi) gov employees.

From their perspective, it's more analogous to murder. Not exactly something you just live and let be.
Isn’t it interesting how it’s not even a popular Catholic point of view? [1]

It seems that the path of money is from laity to church to dark money group(?) to political campaigns for judges or buying support for judge’s confirmations. However it happens, people should know their tithes are being used against them.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg loved abortion, but thought Roe v Wade was a trash decision that actually risked being thrown out for how sloppy it was. She was right.
It's not really difficult. They just need a way to set hard spending limits. Probably on by default.

Unless you're a big company, "we stopped your function in the middle of the night" is a whole lot better than "we ran your function all night and you owe us $4k".

It's not killing someone. A fetus isn't a person.

> I can’t imagine anything LESS scummy than helping save the lives of those babies who are now likely very glad they were born

So would it be ethical to rape someone and force them to give birth? Because the babies would be happy to be born and experiencing life? That's the same logic you're using.

A fetus isn't a person. It's not sentient. It doesn't have hopes and dreams. Personally, I feel guiltier eating pork than having an abortion. Because unlike a fetus, pigs are highly intelligent, social and emotional beings.

On the other hand, a woman is a person. She has the right to control her own body and her own life. If she doesn't want children, she should not be forced to have children. Even if she has sex! Yes, I know that's radical, but I believe that women should be able to have as much sex as they want, with whoever they want, even outside of marriage, without being punished with unwanted children.

I know, and I'm sure you know, that's the real issue. Lots of people are uncomfortable with the concept of consequence-free sex. Christianity, the largest religion in the western world, teaches that sex outside of marriage is wrong. That's why so many people who are against abortion "just happen" to be socially conservative. That's why they "just happen" to be against LGBT as well even though that has fuck-all to do with 'saving babies.' That's why they oppose comprehensive sex education and birth control access, even though that's the most obvious way to reduce unplanned pregnancies.
And a good social safety net helps the workforce maintain the productivity by keeping it healthy and educated. Furthermore, it removes concerns about health care insurance, sudden unemployment, education for the kids, etc.

I see the tax I pay as an investment in the people and society. Society helped me get good health care and take a good education, even though I come from what would be a lower class home in much of the world. I pay that gift forward to someone else - very likely to be people in my own family.
You never post anything constructive. Just that everything in open source sucks while you do fancy algorithms in your basement with spatial data at the boring facility. Anytime anybody asks for more you never reply with something constructive or link to a paper/algorithm or something.

The maximum you've told is "yeah do what scylladb does but you will still suck".

It just feels as advertisement and doesn't really add anything to the discussion I believe. All your comments are the same in all database threads.

I had an ECS cron job hang one time, so instead of a 30 second compute charge it ended up being almost a full month of continuous runtime. My usual $30 bill was $800, and the estimated charges for the next month based on 2 days of use was $1300. I didn't have a billing alert setup (definitely setup a billing alert!).

It could not have been easier to get AWS to remove the charge. A quick email to support with a brief explanation and it was immediately accepted. The hardest part was that they wanted a very specific request for how much I was asking to be refunded. So I had to go back and calculate my average costs per service and compare that to the charged costs. After that it was immediately refunded.

They aren't just handing these things out though. They made me read and acknowledge I had read their service agreements and basically swear that I know what happened and it won't happen again. Really painless process overall, all things considered.
I lived in my country's capital for almost ten years, and since a huge part of the population there are in public service (you get in through a selection exam and once you get in you pretty much can't get fired, and the pay is pretty good). While I lived there, some of my friends would do this at work:
Use most of their work hours to study for a higher paying public service exam.
Play online multiplayer games. Everyday. (don't know if only within their department or connected to the outside)
Do nothing 60% of the time.
Work half the hours they were supposed to, because the whole department decided that they had enough people to turn an 8 hour shift into 4 hours and get everything done. When a new boss decided to end this and made everybody work their 8 hours, they rebelled and the department couldn't get anything done. And no one could be fired.
*etc

Not everybody did this, of course. I had some friends who worked their hours, and put their effort to it, but the culture was definitely messed up.
Which is why I assume the parent post mentioned 4, I would have said two or three myself (as your example shows).

If that third house had some form of tax penalty associated with it being unused/empty they might bother to sell it.

But the housing crisis isn't perpetuated by empty homes in general; empty homes exist because there's an investment aspect of it. If the grandma house was losing at IRS depreciation rates, it'd likely be sold (though a storage unit might cost a similar amount).
Of course, it is pretty uncommon to enjoy something when it is "required reading".

And about the "good English", come on! The Bard has done a huge amount of work to improve the English language itself, by introducing or popularizing an insane lot of words [1] and idioms [2]. How does that not classify as "good"?

How so? It seems pretty obvious to state that if you don't make use of certain mental capabilities, they decay.
> The moderate pro-life crowd should see this behavior as scummy and denounce it, as it taints their cause. IE take the high road to attaining their goals.

Why? To someone who thinks abortion is the murder of babies, what you advocate is priority inversion error. Your idea is a lot like saying the police in Uvalde shouldn't have gone in and (eventually) shot the school shooter, rather they should have "take[n] the high road to attaining their goals" and just talked to him until he stopped of his own accord.

National Catholic Reporter was actually denounced and ordered by bishops almost 50 years ago to stop using "Catholic" in its name for its heterodox views and viewpoint. They refused because Catholic is not a trademark and the bishops could not enforce it, but one should not view them as a source of faithful Catholic news of any kind. It is not uncommon for priests to refer to them as the National Schismatic Reporter.

Let's take it a step further. Shouldn't women be broodmares for the state, producing as many children as possible since all those kids will be glad that they were born. Their sacrifice during their childbearing years is worth it for the utilitarian benefit of more happy children.

This is obviously not a serious suggestion, just calling into question the right of unborn children to have claims of an adult (or sometimes non-adult) woman.

I did this a few years ago to support an HP3000 in a new job. Spent a year working with COBOL enough to get semi proficient and feel confident running and editing programs. We eventually turned the system down in favor of web+SQL and I'll likely never COBOL again, but the truth is COBOL is a pretty straightforward and fun language to work with if you're not already stuck in the C/C++ mode of thinking. Its pretty easy to read and decipher.
Fair ... I just read your response and assumed it was answering to my complaints :-)

Maybe we have a different idea of what "scummy" means, but I find using a bait-and-switch tactic to emotionally manipulate a teenager into birthing twins that they likely do not have the resources to raise (let alone the maturity) to be "scummy".
Then why didn't they ever try for a federal abortion ban when they had control of Congress and the presidency? "Murder" isn't suddenly ok just because it happens in another state, right?
For what it's worth, a major source of annoyance for traditionalist Catholics is that there are many people who identify themselves as Catholic but don't subscribe to the more controversial moral teachings of the Church. It's probably about 50/50, just like the rest of American society.
I am being entertained, you lost the argument with your bias and hatred, you know it, I know it but you are too stubborn to back down now so you resort to... changing the topic.

I still don't understand why you said goodbye if you had so much hatred inside you which you want to take out.
In fairness, this is because big productions can be extremely financially risky and often bomb. I think 1-3 big flops could be enough to tank a studio.
It's not just researchers, there's actual businesses using ML that never gets deployed in any way, and they don't need it to be deployed.
People who hate whiteboard interviews are probably the same kind of people that say things like "why do we have to learn multiplication in school, I can use the calculator app."

As others have pointed out, the idea is to provide a context where you can judge the candidates knowledge, intelligence and ability to explain their thinking. Whiteboard tasks happen to be a good way to do that.

When the interviewer asked me to implement a depth first search algorithm on the board (although he didn't call it that), it most definitely wasn't because he thought that I would ever need to do anything like that. That's why they accepted me even though I didn't quite nail it. That's why I never worry about memorising algorithms, that's really not the point.
Do COBOL programmers really get paid that much? I have more than 10 years of experience with COBOL, and I've left it long time ago because I hated the language. But now I wonder where could I find some of those well paid COBOL jobs (and of course - remote)?
what exactly are you trying to understand?

how someone can feel not able to raise a child? how about trying to understand why this person feels not able, and what needs to change so that they will feel able?

i don't see anyone working towards a society where people are actually supported to raise their children.

people are promised help, but when the baby is there, no help is actually forthcoming.

to help save lives, we need to work on our society to be helpful and welcoming to the children when they are actually born, and not just feel good about convincing someone to not have an abortion, with complete disregard for what comes afterwards.
I don't necessarily agree that "nobody should have X until everyone has Y" is a workable general rule; no family should have two cars until everyone has one; no family should have two jobs until everyone has one.

The second home is already slightly tax disadvantaged compared to the primary residence, perhaps it should be "punished" more.
Imagine you are in a people group that the court decided are free to be killed at someone else’s discretion and you have no legal recourse or advocate. Would you accept that for minority groups, groups of any other association? If you are not the one killing or being killed does that mean it affects no one?
The push is the "pull request" in this model. It triggers CI, which in turn triggers notifications to the reviewer that there's pending work. The `rr` namespace acts as the inbox for requests. Deleting the `rr` branch is like closing it.

There's also clarity over ownership that way - the `rr` branch is owned by the owner of the repository and they can push to it, to make it into whatever form they want.

Devs may also explicitly send a message indicating there's work to be reviewed, but they don't have to.
