Most roads in the US are not toll roads. Where there are toll roads there are generally places to exit without counting as leaving - McDonald's often has a drive thru right on the toll road so you can stop for coffee and get right back on without dealing with the tolls. I've also seen gas stations on a toll road. These things are enough that for a significant number of people their average speed is legal despite spending most of their time on the road speeding.

Rookie mistake! The trick is to double your betting amount every time you lose the 50/50, until you win, and then return back to your regular bet. That’s how you turn a profit. (/s)
The main culprits of those things are the governments making these laws.

Make no mistake this will just be used to implement those backdoors.
I'm also very surprised by these numbers. I'm a senior dev in Ireland and my success rate over the past number of years would be around 1 in 5 CV submissions lead to a first interview / tech screen. And once I reach that stage around 1 in 3 lead to an offer.

I'm a reasonably good developer, but not top tier by any means.

But my starting point is usually a recruiter contacting me. It's been a long time since I've chased a recruiter or company. And I've never sent out 100+ applications in my 22 year career.

Maybe geography plays a part. London and Dublin are full of tech jobs. Isolated cities in the US might be different, with moving or commuting to a different city not an easy option.

I'd like to see some of the CVs that keep getting rejected or passed over, because that volume (100-200) doesn't feel right to me.
There were weird court cases involving cops manually doing this in the US ages ago. Something to do with "hearsay evidence" if I recall correctly.

I think it's incentives gone wrong/"metric gaming" masquerading as "hiring/interviewing".

People on the other side of the table have metrics to meet and a pipeline to keep filled. They care less about how many offers are extended.

I'm very sad (physically so) when I run into these things.

Another anecdata:

- found an old junior high school math book: they had lessons on finances, taxes, maybe compounding interests. All in simple terms, no mathematical proofs or analysis. Still very useful long term knowledge.

- someone on reddit posted pictures of his grand father's notebook. Biology lecture notes about plants. It was utterly beautiful, drawings and writing, superb regularity, density .. Saying it looked like a product wouldn't be exaggerating a lot.

And now your comment got me to think that this seem to be a worldwide trend, not even a nation-wide education system degradation. That's super odd.
Check out the book “Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing“ by Jacob Goldstein. It explores this topic and more.

>the US dollar was never 100% backed by gold reserves

The dollar was created by the coinage act in 1792, with dollars being made of the equivalent amount of silver or gold. To me this seems like practically same thing as being 100% backed by gold reserves.

If we're talking about paper dollars or originally "Demand Notes" from 1861 onward that would be the case as they were put in place because the government was broke trying to fund the Civil War,[1] and had to issue currency on credit[2] (about $1.5b additional in todays dollars, for comparison there's about $51b total in 2021).

>A gold standard is actually just a peg, a promise by the government to exchange dollars for gold (and vice versa) at a fixed rate. And you don't technically need any gold for that.

Wouldn't you need enough reserves to allow anyone who attempted to exchange their dollars for gold to do so? Fractional banking and bank runs seem like a rough analog.

In the case of rideshare/delivery companies on the list like Uber, Lyft, and Doordash, the bulk of their expenses/losses aren't salaries, it's in subsidizing every ride/delivery to compete on price while still compensating drivers enough for it to be worth it to them.

In other words, Uber didn't burn $30B on salaries, it burned it selling $1 bills for $0.70 over and over and over again.
Mhm... I don't know some better ones might see a spin in it and use it for themselves instead of playing "though".
It really depends on the municipality: I would vote for this in a heartbeat, and so would a lot of other people in my area. There would also probably be some opposition, but I don't think it would be particularly lopsided against these kinds of cameras.

As someone that believes in the Quran, which talks about the Adam&Eve tree incident, I agree.

Then there is the whole definition of God being just, and for someone to die for someone else's sin is far from just.

I personally believe in a God that I can ask directly for forgiveness and he forgives. That being said, he wouldn't forgive me for wronging someone else, I will have to settle it with that person in this life, or we'll meet and settle it in the day of judgement.

Ask to tag along to meetings so you can learn. If you see an opportunity that is available, like doing a proof of concept with a new technology, offer your services without waiting to be asked. When you do work, demo it to your team and ask for feedback. Cameras on when other people have them on - I'm not the biggest fans of cameras but it would be good for a junior for people to put a face to a name.

I've found those just cause people to brake hard before them and speed up after. If they become well known, they make people speed even more before/after, as it's not expected to have another speed control measure so close to a trap.
It's only a problem if you're breaking deadlines. Like having someone's status in communication app update with 10s delay is probably not a a problem, so as long as you don't ever cache it for longer than that, it is entirely fine.

> If you have a cache for one system that delays writes to a backing data store referenced by other systems that are unaware of that cache, then you have necessarily a partition problem.

In most cases people mean caching reads so the problem here is stale reads, not delayed writes. It's not necessarily the same, some component caching (or essentially, queuing) write means that once the write is done, all readers (assuming they don't have any extra cache) see it at once, while with caching reads (and no invalidation), multiple readers can have different view
Hell I can clear it up.

> the patient's trust in the company to rip them off on lifesaving drugs

So is it dont trust the company to a) have drugs that will save your life (i.e. rip you off by giving you sugar pills) b) make you pay a price that is "not worth it" (i.e. a higher price than your life is worth).

My reference to freedom is literal, nothing to do with government or any other agenda - perhaps other interpretations are loaded with an agenda. IF you dont trust a product, dont use it. You dont have to - you are free to make theses choices. Many people, especially at very advanced ages or sickness opt to forgo expensive treatments that would offer them an extra 6 months of life because it 'isnt worth it'. Some people dont believe that conventional treatments will cure them - see Steve Jobs.

As for my personal political view which seems to be the real attack vector here - for those that fall into neither category, i.e believe the medication will save their lives, feel it is worth it but do not have the money for it. Well in the civilized world, their countries agree with them that their life is worth it and that is how they get their medication and we collectively have healthcare.
It was IRC. First efnet, then briefly undernet, and then freenode. Seeing how problems are handled and solved by people light-years ahead of me, how questions are approached, the hacker culture where strict discipline is required for any inquiry taught me everything I needed to become a professional programmer.
Ooh, good point. I should test if that works with a French layout in our app :)
You're assuming that brand value has no financial value. Forget the stock price, this probably impacted EliLilly's brand in a way that will cost a bunch of money to "fix". If it sparks renewed calls for regulatory action on insulin prices, it could cost them quite a bit more than just brand value as well - either in lobbying, political "contributions", or profits. But that's speculation for now.
The erosion of trust is actually a good thing, because those institutions are undeserving of trust.

I had a real "click" moment with Statistic Rethinking (2nd Edition) too! I never really "got" Bayes' Theorem before (could use it to solve homework problems and stuff but never appreciated it) but somewhere in SR Chapter 2 the whole point of it really snapped into focus. Good book!
This camps on the q-param namespace that normally belongs to the application. I'm shocked this would be considered. The only way to do this without camping on the q-param or fragment namespaces is via a new URI scheme, but then that would be very difficult to deploy anytime soon.

This is a quandary that is usually resolved by camping on the namespace, yes, but with some very unlikely name (think of the IDNA xn-- A-label prefix).

Also, there is some value to doing this via a fragment identifier as an alternative: you can distribute the link with the digest, but the server you request the link from doesn't get to know what digest you have. This could be useful for immutable resources. Also, maybe the request for a particular version identified by a particular digest could be done with an HTTP header, which then lends itself to making for a conditional request ("GET /this/thing, but only if it has different digest than I last saw"), which, again, would best be done using a fragment identifier if we're not going to do a new URI scheme.

My preference is still for a new URL scheme, much like the data URI scheme.
I would assume so as well although that may be the problem.

Though I'm also open to the possibility that some companies just want to hire some number of developers with 3-5 years of experience in $TECHNOLOGY and aren't too fussy beyond that. In which case, it may indeed become more of a numbers game if a company is basically picking a handful of resumes at random that clear some minimum bar.
Yet, not a legal position. If it wasn't your coins, SBF taking them to do whatever he wanted with them would not be illegal.
>If people could be persuaded to do things that are in their interest via rational discourse, and evidence favored vaccines, it wouldn't be necessary to do that kind of coercion.

Interesting. Of course, in this particular case that coercion happens to coincide with a position you agree with, but not in every instance that apparently justifiable coercion will agree with you. I assume, for the sake of consistency, you'll defend them in that case too.
> Where do you live and what are the circumstances like there that you're considering getting your "next" one? (you've been boosted before?).

Los Angeles.

I know lots of vaccinated people who are getting infected. Just last week I went to a conference here in LA. I was going to meet-up this week with on of the people I saw there. He told me he got COVID at the conference.

Yes, I've had one booster. I travel a lot for business. I think it might be prudent to take further precautions. I have no reason to believe this is unsafe for me.
Except when the only thing that can inform a good decision is _time_ ; and when you can ask every trustworthy people you know, and they will simply not have a clue _yet_, because no one does and we're in the middle of the fog of war.

But I suppose we all preferred pretending we knew _somethings_.

How about we get some empathy for the people who just ended up on the many bad sides of the many bets ?

Which left-wing political causes were championed by the ~40 million he gave to the Republican party?

Without digging into the minutia, it seems like a classic example of 'pay both sides so that no matter who wins, we get a seat at the table.' Unsurprisingly, the incumbents got paid more.

The causes don't seem to matter, pay to play does.

Now, if the right is ready to embrace an end to corporations and millionaires donating to political campaigns, it's a fantastic idea that we should embrace. If, of course, it's just sour grapes and complaining after losing a midterm senate election after putting forward a slate of some of the worst candidates they could field, I don't have a minute of time for it.

Given the historic track record on campaign financing, I think it's the latter.
There's also not anywhere near enough speed limit signs on that road. I'm looking at the photo and I can see any.

You didn't have any luck making a CICP claim? It says they have approved five myocarditis claims in principle, but it seems a lot less well documented than the corresponding VICP ("vaccine court") for regular vaccines.

Firmware is included for 45 devices, but no one but the vendor/manufacturer can actually provide security updates for them, so they are largely just the last release.

I argued with my doctor that I would not tell them confidential health related information that could have consequences for me, or held against me. They said "do not worry, it is entirely confidential".

I did not share the information, told my doctor lies (as I said I would if they were putting their notes in a database).

That is pretty much what I said, except phrased different.
Strongly agree. In normal times there are scammers and people trying to set up Ponzi schemes, but they don't typically fool sophisticated investors. These last 30 years have seen the markets grow increasingly deranged. In that sense, Bernie Madoff was the true visionary who set the tone for this era, much more so than Elon Musk or Adam Neumann.
I'm sure there's a SPAC out there that might want it. And thus the cycle will be complete.
I don't really see the war analogy as useful... All of these companies want to be wherever the developers and the industry are.

I can categorically state I've never thought of or understand 70% faster as meaning that, and certainly not 100% faster as meaning "completes instantly".

I see the OP has solved the problem by removing any references to how much faster from the article title!

You're right about non-linear algorithms though. If an O(n^2) algorithm is 2x / 100% faster, it can't process 100% more items in the same time, but I'd understand it to mean taking half the time for the same n.
Does anyone really wonder why the current state of affairs has risen? Because that seems pretty naive, given how rich and influential it's made its progenitors.

Most people drive at a speed that they deem to be safe. Conditions such as road shape and size, and traffic, are the biggest factors that influence this. If you want people to drive more slowly, you should first figure out why you want that. If you're still determined, then you should figure out why drivers believe those speeds to be safe on that road. Changing the road conditions will change the speed at which people drive.
> The insane margins of insulin are actually split between Lilly, PBMs (like optumRX and CareMark) and insurance companies, through an incredibly complex system of rebates and vouchers. Turning over that rock reveals more writhing maggots than anyone cares to see.

Health insurance companies (parent companies of PBMs) have low single digit profit margins, and medicine manufacturers like Eli Lilly have 20%+ profit margins.

It's a bit funny (sad) how it works. Like studies in my city show how removing a lane of parked cars and instead using that as a bicycle lane, increases speed of traffic. The added visibility, "feeling" of a wider road, and less chance of a scratch in your side overrules the chance of maiming the cyclists next to you.
