You might be right.

The important thing is that the person must accept the responsibility of owning all aspects of their wealth.

No one can remove it from you, but you can make the mistake of giving it away. Then you bear the responsibility for losing it.

That's not a very big trade off for some people.
What difference will it make? Can you un-ring a bell?
The normal person knows that just having big paycheck does not make an executive more competent. We have all seen people with huge paychecks fail spectacularly.
We did this at our small dev/design studio for about 5 years. It worked amazingly well. The contractors always had work and the "contract agent" got 10% of the contract in perpetuity.

The downside was that we were a fairly small operation and so we only had one agent. When he left to pursue his own business venture we were unsuccessful at replacing him and ended up closing up shop.

A platform that facilitated this type of arrangement would be valuable indeed...
True Type fonts have been Turing complete for a while. You‘d need to implement a small TT OS first, of course.
The most important job of an engineering manager is this one simple thing: TALK to your staff. The old book “The One Minute Manager” [1] (short and simple) I found to be good advice.

“… three techniques and of an effective manager: one minute goals, one minute praisings, and one minute reprimands.”

The key is to interact with staff often, not just once a month, and not always in a staff meeting. As a manager, people want to know you, to trust you, and to confide in you. They want your help, and you want them to be successful. Good luck!

What would your advice be if we assume that was what the author wanted? I had a lot of fun reverse engineering my laptop's keyboard LEDs and I'd love another rabbit hole to go down into...
> And yet you're blaming LA County for this. Civil engineering work is required to be done by engineers.
> if you don't like those laws go out to the boonies and you can build whatever you want, however you want.

Did you even read my post? Here. Quoting:

"However, because I am not a Civil Engineer, I had to hire a firm to, effectively, duplicate my work. Physics is physics, right? That's OK. No problem."

Let me repeat that last part:

"That's OK. No problem."

> Your architect friend would be wrong on that...For point of comparison, the average concrete foundation is 200 lb/square foot, or about 480,000 for a 1-story 2,400 square foot house

You are grotesquely misinterpreting the link you provided. That's the weight per square foot of an entire house, including footings, slabs, tile roof, etc.

> Because self-styled architects are constantly messing up on the math and physics.

Very funny, considering the above.

I mean, just a little bit of critical thinking and math shows how crazy the 480,000 lb number is.

For easy math, a 2,500 sqf house is 50 x 50 feet. Assuming a density of 133 lbs/sqf for concrete:

That slab, at 4 inches thick, comes in at 110,833 lbs.

Now assume a full footing all the way around the slab. That means each footing is 50 feet x 1 foot wide and 28 inches below the slab. I'll ignore the intersection of the footings just to keep the math simple.

Each footing weighs 15,517 lbs. That's a total of 62,067 lbs for footings and 172,900 lbs so far for the house.

Depending on code and type of construction additional footings might be required on the interior of the slab-on-grade construction. I'll just round the 127,000 lbs to 200,000 lbs, again, for rough numbers.

The 480,000 lbs number you came-up with is absolutely ridiculous.

Like my wife (a doctor) likes to say: "Your Google search isn't equivalent to my medical degree."

Regarding what my friend said about my project. First of all, it was a figure of speech, not a precise calculation. "Dude, you could build <insert whatever makes you comfortable here> on that much concrete!". Yes, it was an absolutely ridiculous amount of concrete. It didn't stop at 64,000 lbs. There's a full-on 55 x 45 foot slab, 6 inches thick, with lots of rebar and other details. If we are going to go on raw concrete weight --which isn't the right metric-- it's about 230,000 lbs.

EDIT:
For Architects/Civil Engineers who might be reading this. We live in an area that has been classified as a high fire risk zone (wrongly, in my opinion, but there's nothing I can do about it). This gives LA County license to go absolutely insane with some of their requirements. They turned what should have been a relatively simple ground-mount solar project into an absolute nightmare.
100 Gbit/s / 5000 KiB/s is 20000.
That's actually similar to the method Nintendo used when they finally added an option to send photos and videos to your smartphone from the Switch, with the addition of a first step where the Switch acts as a wifi hotspot and shows a QR code to quickly connect you to it. Then you scan another QR code that jumps you into a simple webapp running on localhost where you can download the photos/videos
>They’re all still kicking with nothing but AK-47s, pick up trucks and improvised explosives because these big scary military monsters you keep alluding to are all but fucking useless for dealing with them.

This is incorrect.

The United States military became very skilled at dealing with them to the point that Taliban activity was near-zero.

Analyzing the causes of death of US servicemembers during the conflict, a surprisingly low number was due to firearms. All of the AKs in the world were useless against the US military and the Taliban knew it so they decided to wait the US out instead.

The moment the US left? That’s a different story.

The moral of this should be that patience is more empowering than firearms.
And reporting "account taken over" is apparently not an option-niece had her account taken over on Instagram and I couldn't report it (the person started trying to get me to add an email to my insta account) as "account taken over" but only as "fraudulent account." Actual social accounts should be able to use ones contacts to verify account take-over and return it to the correct owner.

For the people reporting these things on twitter, there is also "report an account" which is less clicks.

If you want to compare it based on the people working for each company:

Parag has around 3900 employees. Wikipedia has around 550. Around 7x multiplier.

$30m / 7 = ~$4.3mil

Sundar has around 135k employees. 245x multiplier.

$250m / 245 = ~$1mil.

$350k seems like a steal no matter how you put it.

"As for applications, my position has always been that if there were zero applications, it would still be at least as scientifically important to try to build QCs as it was to build the LHC, LIGO, or the James Webb telescope." makes no sense to me. All three of those were well-understood and known projects with specific goals. If there are zero applications, it's not as scientifically important to fund QC-building labs. Note that LIGO had no real application (in a product sense) - but it existed to answer a well-defined long-standing question of importance to physics. QC isn't going to solve any important scientific problems even if we build the next generation of them.

I’ve come to see Wikipedia as the enemy in many cases, where its editorial policies, intentionally or not, result in entrenching corrupt establishment political narratives propagated by the White House, State Dept, corporate media, etc.

I remember looking at the vote history where they decided The Greyzone (one of whose journalists was called to testify at the UN on their investigative journalism) wasn’t a “credible source”, the very first vote I checked belonged to a unique username that was used on other sites for an anti-Palestinian think tank academic.

For completely uncontroversial topics it’s fine, for everything else you have to read all the dismissed/shut out outsiders complaining on the talk page to get any real sense of the topic.

Wikipedia has little legitimacy which is the purpose of an encyclopedia, I’ll never donate $1 to it and if it shut down tomorrow I wouldn’t care.
Do you have any actual data on how many people "believe the world would be a better place if every white person spontaneously died"? I don't mean this to be combative but without some actual survey data or something proving their significance, it seems like this is one of those "it feels true to me" things
I load JSON into Postgres all the time these days for analyzing data for a government client and use Postgres JSONB operators to untangle and index it. JSONB because I don't care about preserving the original string representation of the record (strings in fields are still completely intact).

Although I heavily lean on psql with \COPY and stdin or stdout pipes to a compressor like zstd (psql can natively pipe CSV to and from any program reliably even in Windows) I found loading JSON records to be extremely frustrating this way.

Whatever you do NEVER use pipes in Powershell. They don't stream. They buffer in RAM fully into your computer crashes. Microsoft is insane.

Since you use NoSQL you can write a very short Python program that uses psycopg2 directly to load a list of dict as JSONB rows into a single Postgres table with one column (I call mine "record")

At that point you can basically use Postgres as a NoSQL database and structure the records if you want using a VIEW.

We're in the process of documenting their use of JSON for financial records keeping as a design defect.
There are lots of studies claiming that diversity makes companies more successful. But all that I've seen are correlational studies. And those are equally explained by the idea you mentioned. When companies are flush, they spend money on affirmative action. Therefore companies that have heavy affirmative action tend to be more successful.
Certs take a single line on a resume.

Sometimes people don't have the pedigree or the opportunity to prove themselves in a high value position, so certs is the only thing available to signal competence.

The fact that many people (in this thread) look down on it is directly responsible for putting a glass ceiling over some people and reducing upward mobility. It's just bad judgment.

I mean it's one thing to require them to do a skill test, but to outright filter them or toss their resumes in the bin is unequivocally shitty.
From what I understand, machine learning models may use this in ETL pipelines as well as serving as part of the models themselves. There's an article on that here: https://medium.com/analytics-and-data/overview-of-the-differ...

What does that Python mean, by the way? The passing of the value into the function is clear enough, but I have no idea whether f is assigning to the local x, or binding a new one.

If we capture a lambda before "x = 2", and then call it afterward, does it see an x which holds the original argument value or which holds 2?

In Lisps, this stuff is clear. Mostly. Except Common Lisp has some areas where it waffles: in some iteration constructs, implementations can bind a new variable or reuse the same one. Those choices are individually clear, though.

The field of subconscious biases suffers from several fatal defects. The scores people get on subconscious bias tests vary wildly over time, even short periods of time. This is a fundamental flaw and should be the end of the inquiry. If we can't measure the thing, we can't draw any conclusions about it.

Also, there has never been a linkage drawn between scores on subconscious bias tests and real world actions. Are racists probably "subconsciously biased"? Sure. But the reverse has never been shown.

That's a matter of interpretation, especially since weapons like those didn't exist when the 2A was written.

What really matters isn't what rights people who lived 200+ years ago thought that we should have today; it's what rights we, who are alive now, think we should have. We shouldn't accept the meaning, or even the existence, of the 2nd amendment simply because it's there. We should continually be scrutinizing and improving the entire document.
