The free market vision you are deriding is failing because of government licensing and law making. Only certain outlets are licensed to print news. And laws are written to prevent what are perceived to be slanderous rumours. This is to say, information is not actually free. And free movement of information is essential for a free market.

I also think that implicit in what you state, is a request for greater governance to manage the free market.

If you ask me, what you really want is less government oversight.

You may respond to say that we will be run by robber barons, if we have even less oversight, or free information.

To which I would respond that we are already run by (the worst) robber barons who currently maintain their control via their control of the governance apparatus, and the illusion many hold that we have anything like a free market. It's just that we are suffering under our illusion so much, that we don't even recognise the problem!

If you ask me, we actually live under a form of disguised fascism, where governments and corporations work together and pretend we have democracy and a free market. They use their mouth pieces (media, education) to misinform us.
Not necessarily reflective of how people use them. Obviously a lot of people have one bigger than they need, just like people have trucks who don’t actually do things they need a truck for more than once a year, if that.

But the soccer mom stereotype is also real and more families are both busy working parents so it isn’t uncommon for one or a few people to fill all three rows with kids for transport to their sports activities.
I said a lot more than that, namely that there are other notions of education than what you are describing:

- That there is some outside agent that observes progress and "improves" someone

- That such progress can be quantified, and comparable

- That such measurement is the only way to acertain the truth of progress.

- That there is such a thing as an universal standard by which someone needs to be educated

- That the purpose of education is to produce productive members of society

- That a person starts education as a "blank slate", ready to be filled by what the teacher is teaching

- That the capacity to learn and the potential to be educated is fixed, and therefore, some should be selected for even further education

- That learning only happens when there's an outside agent educating the person

There are so many problematic things with this frame, even if it is fairly mainstream.

I prefer a world that supports artists to one that doesn't, but from a purely selfish perspective, there's already so much recorded music that I do love or will, if/when I eventually discover it, love, that I wouldn't run out of novel, great material that's to my taste, in two lifetimes. There are whole major genres I've barely even touched so far.

The effect on my lifetime QOL would be basically zero if no new commercial music were created ever again.
> Thereafter, the data was mismanaged.

And this is the problem with most of the technology spying on us. Once the data is in someone else's hands, there is nothing you can do to prevent it from being "mismanaged". It can exist forever and you aren't allowed to know who has it or what they're doing with it.

Bugging your own home with any device designed to spy on you is just a terrible idea and I'm amazed at how many people are oblivious to the harm they risk bringing on themselves and everyone else around them.
and pickup trucks are considered as vehicles like SUVs and minivans or even full size vans. Go look it up. This HOA is going to lose in court.

Have you seen either of those vehicles? I've driven the Ioniq 5, and have one preordered.

It's absolutely tiny, as far as SUV's go. Really it's a crossover, not quite an SUV and not quite a hatchback. It's a delightful vehicle and I can't wait to get mine, mind you.

And the EV6 is smaller.

Can you elaborate? I disagree with OP that 3 was the the most egregious event, I agree that it's questionable for the article to use the two specific images containing people so plainly and without further censorship, perpetuating the invasion of privacy for the sake of a more captivating article.

3. The MIT Technology Review gets a hold of these images and decides to publish them on the Internet for everyone to see, just to get more clicks on their article. This feels like the most egregious privacy violation in the sequence.

"Russia is part of Europe purely because of the geographical location."

Yes, in the geographical context.

But this is still not the same as the political context.

There is kind of a long, shared (christian) history.
And there are people who say, russia should be closer to the EU, than Turkey, or Bulgaria, because of that.

Putin sees himself in the image of the european (christean) emperor tradition.

"The majority of Europe is part of the EU, but EU is not Europe"

And EU means Unified Europe. So who and what is european, to qualify to become unified?

Open and ongoing question, but geography only plays a minor part in it. That was my main point. Political charged terms are seldom clear and precise and european is such a term, with more ambiguity than the clearly defined geographical term.

ChatGPT is just another mile marker that we are whizzing past.
I'm 40 right now and just started my first real career-type job this year. At 39 I was still a co-op student. It's honestly fine. The world is changing and it's way more common for "adult learners" to be part of the co-op, intern, and new hire cohorts. Most of the older ones are admittedly in their 30s, but I knew a guy that was starting over in his 50s and it was fine.

That's not to say getting a career will stop you from having miserable thoughts. I'm not sure why it's the case, but some people are just more miserable than others. I fantasized deeply about blowing my brains out all morning, for example, just because I had double-booked two clients in the morning and didn't know how I was going to handle it--luckily one of them cancelled, so I'll live to see another day.

In other words, a career might not solve all your problems. Many people here have suggested therapy, and though I don't personally believe in therapy as I think it's a way to enforce compliance to an increasingly dysfunctional society, it's probably the right advice for both you and also me.

Therapy aside, I would like to give you advice about how to salvage your resume after more than a decade out of the workforce.

The key to this is community colleges that have work placements. Here in Canada, those are called co-ops and they are a really good deal. If you do everything right, and get all the bursaries available, you'll likely make a small profit on your college career, rather than lose money--but that's in Canada, and it could be different in other countries.

The great thing about co-ops is that they put applicable experience on your resume where you had none before(1). And if you need more, many community colleges also have additional year-long certificates co-ops (in Canada they are called graduate certificates) that can give you even more applicable work experience.

After just two years and 3 co-ops, all my NEETING days had finally disappeared and my resume now looks stacked.

Something that is important, however, is you pick something that actually has jobs. That narrows down your choices quite a bit, and it's mostly going to be IT related, but it could also be trade related, like a line man or even getting your CDL (commercial truck drivers license).

I would even suggest not going into IT, if your battling with your own mind, as it requires a lot of mental fortitude to consider systems and code and humans not doing what you thought they would do--that's a big trigger for the miserable among us, I suspect.

I would actually suggest lineman instead. Think of the freedom and the fresh air and the lack of clients. It's not such a bad future, once you dig into it. And please don't do anything stupid. There's still lots of life to live.

1--It's also a different hiring process than finding a regular job, and it's understood that you don't yet have experience when you talk with potential employers.
These days any announcement from musk companies i wonder how real they are. I think the guy pushes agendas so hard and so many folks enamored with him that they would say anything wether any truth to it.

This was the most annoying user hostile thing I've run into in awhile. I figured I would buy a months subscription and watch the last season then see if there were any other shows that looked interesting and would keep me paying for several more months of subscriptions. Not only did they remove the first episodes of the last season so I couldn't watch it, I couldn't even buy the episodes outright or pay extra to watch them. I finally gave up and hit the high seas.

It baffles me that corporations are so stupid they won't offer any way for people that are trying to give them money to do it. People that pirate your shows aren't going to attempt to pay for a subscription. The people who are willing to pay it don't want to put up with stupid BS tactics just to watch the content.
x86 has had that since the 8086. It's called REP MOVS. As far as I know, it's still the fastest general-purpose way to do copying.
This is very cool. Love the pricing model.
California has plenty of land. San Francisco is hardly a dense city. Seattle manages to build lots of housing, despite sharing many of the same challenges: costal city with limited land, earthquakes,etc. But development and housing policy is very different.

California, especially the bay Area, is notorious for being anti-development. The landed class will furiously fight any attempt to build dense housing, to keep property prices high. Rent control exacerbates this as most residents have no incentive to solve the housing shortage since they aren't affected by price increases.

Washington, by contrast, prohibits rent control statewide. It's no coincidence I'm seeing far more construction in Seattle and it's suburbs than I did SF.

I'm currently looking for a lean, sufficiently efficient solution for my Oberon+ runtime (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon ); I evaluated different solutions, one e.g. based on MPS, but I would prefer something which is lean and as simple as possible; so hints are welcome.

I set up a Raspberry Pi on my local network because every year I end up with dozens of little use cases for a Web addressable, always-on machine where I DO NOT need redundancy, uptime guarantees, backups, CDNs, high bandwidth needs, etc.

I want to offload this, but any time I search for an option, they're overcomplicated or overpriced. Maybe there just isn't a market for it?

...maybe I don't want to offload this. The Pi and SD card was like $35, the power is basically zero, and the Internet is basically zero.
You're mentioning the worst possible scenario.

First of all the answer recommends to use either a Pi or a VPS. If a Pi doesn't cut it for you, just switch to a VPS with sufficient specs for your requirement. Problem solved, now it's viable.

Besides, a significant part of the web can be scraped without resorting to a heavyweight browser such as Chromium. It should always be the last resort. Even if you have to evaluate Javascript (in case of SPAs), there are much cheaper solutions than Puppeteer (JSDOM being an example) which can get the job done most of the time.

As to Docker, I fail to see why you would need Docker for this kind of job, unless you don't know how to do it without Docker.

When there is no portability requirement, the costs of Docker easily surpass its benefits.

...

So no, it's not that what's being recommended in the answer is not viable. You're doing it wrong. Either you're using a Pi when you need to use a VPS or you are introducing unnecessary layers.
I agree. If reparations are "paid" does it ever end? Is there ever a maximum to be paid out? I'm saying this as someone who is of mixed European, African, and Native American ancestry, yes my ancestors were enslaved on two branches of my family history, I don't want reparations, I just want unequivocal equality and a chance, not special treatment. All we can do is demonize slavery and entrench democracy and equality, anything else is just going to serve further to split the 99% up and distract them from the real issue which is being taken advantage of by the 1%
This won't be a good answer, but the best I may give now...

I learned programming when I was 13 by myself (in the 90's), then graduated in CS and now I'm managing developpers (and trying to recruit).

What I look for in a job position is: someone with passion for CS OR at least someone with experience or at least a CS degree. So a CS certificate is NOT a prerequisite BUT you'll need at least to be able to show some real achievments in CS (like a not trivial website for example) and be able to explain how you did it, what choices you made and why, what you tried, what failed and why...

On the other side, "graduation" with online CS (HackerRank or other) is not really meaningfull (YMMV): it does show that your brain work but not your creative side (and programming IS creating).

Soooo... either learn by yourself and build something meaningfull (and sooner or later you will need so CS theory... on complexity and algorithm for example to tackle real problems)... or get CS degree to get job, then experience, then better jobs...
> In iRobot’s case, over 95% of its image data set comes from real homes, whose residents are either iRobot employees or volunteers recruited by third-party data vendors (which iRobot declined to identify). People using development devices agree to allow iRobot to collect data, including video streams, as the devices are running, often in exchange for “incentives for participation,” according to a statement from iRobot. The company declined to specify what these incentives were, saying only that they varied “based on the length and complexity of the data collection.”

> The remaining training data comes from what iRobot calls “staged data collection,” in which the company builds models that it then records.

> iRobot has also begun offering regular consumers the opportunity to opt in to contributing training data through its app, where people can choose to send specific images of obstacles to company servers to improve its algorithms. iRobot says that if a customer participates in this “user-in-the-loop” training, as it is known, the company receives only these specific images, and no others. Baussmann, the company representative, said in an email that such images have not yet been used to train any algorithms.
This forces client code to handle arbitrary exceptions and it loses the information about which specific exceptions are actually thrown. This is like having Object as the return type on all functions, and having callers do instanceof to see what type of result they got. Exceptions should be part of the semantic contract of functions/methods just like return types are.
Roomba is the company that planned on using their vacuum cleaners to map people's houses so they could sell that data to third parties.

Considering that this is how poorly they protect the sensitive data their devices collect (even those used for development purposes) I guess it's a good thing that public backlash over their spying plans forced them to reconsider.
I hope they will be able to cash their last paychecks when the curtain falls.

To be honest I think it will make my life a lot easier. Online tests during covid were a joke, cheating was rampant. I will completely dispense with basic coursework that contributes to the final grade (probably converting it to formative assessments), and then rely on some combination of the in person exam and more complex coursework.
If C was still just a baby in 1983, what does that make Ada?

Signals were a feature of Unix and C from the early 1970s; at least by 1973, if not earlier. Signals were a software-based abstraction over the concept of hardware interrupts, and even today we often say that hardware interrupts are triggered by (among other reasons) an "exception" or "hardware exception".

Similarly, the fact that the concept of interrupts and exceptions are related can be seen in the later (4.2 BSD, 1983) select(2) syscall, where the third fd_set argument is for capturing "exceptional condition(s)". (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/s...)

Ada enjoyed the benefit of at least another 10 years of reflection and evolution in computer science when choosing the semantics of their exception mechanism. But the success of Ada's (or Ada-like) semantics hasn't yet completely redefined the concept of exceptions.

Your boss is ok with your performance. Why overthink it?

Imposter syndrome happens to everyone. You interviewed, you got the job, you are not an imposter.

But ask for help when you need it and it can take a long time to learn about the systems. Your boss should be able to point you in the right direction. But do your homework! Is there good documentation to read to help get up to speed?

Also you might try writing down your day to day feelings in a journal etc..
While Scale is very good at marketing, I wonder if companies using scale ai genuinely understand how their data is being labeled. They have been completely obfuscating that they primarily do crowdsourcing through https://remotasks.com/. The brand of remotasks is entirely different than scale ai for apparent reasons. I don't think major companies would opt in for crowdsourcing if they knew it. There are plenty of managed labeling service providers who provide a guarantee that the labelers come to a facility without phones to label data. There's a reason why they exist.

> It's also worth noting that it is easy to beat the old formats all-round with off-the-shelf parts, both JPEG and PNG can be bested by changing the outer level of compression for something that was invented after the formats were made.

The heart of JPEG is in The DCT and its energy compaction properties.

One crazy thing about the DCT is that it doesn't just let you make trade-offs for high/low frequency features. It also lets you make tradeoffs for horizontal and vertical features. If you customize your quantization matrix to your specific application, you can potentially achieve compression ratios far exceeding anything available today - even if you leave in the crusty old RLE+Huffman coding.

I remember the hard part of the GREs for me was the essay section. Especially since in all my education, writing something short and concise being graded primarily on the prose and not the content was something that really didn't come up much in my education. Essays were something you did at home.

I think Bazel is doing a lot of good stuff... but I think it suffers a bit from the same thing as Angular, where it makes a lot of its own terminology.

There is another aspect where if you are using a language like Python or JS then you have to kind of swim upstream to get an existing project onto Bazel. Far from impossible but if you just look at the default Bazel stuff without pulling in third-party libs it's pretty tedious to get a project with a good amount of dependencies working.
