How is it that people are on insane salaries like $200-300k but are still terrified of being fired? Don't you have savings?

In from the UK and earn about a quarter as much and I could be unemployed for several years before I had to start caring.

I'm not trying to brag. My salary is shit compared to the US. Just genuinely curious.
This is a good point. But the flight to cities with jobs does add to it.
Someone with a 1300 would do fine. But only because thy aren't as difficult as top schools should be because, as we see from their admissions policies, they are status and credentialing gatekeepers to elite status, not really top educational institutions.
Traffic, no room in schools, and other crowding issues are not code words. They are quite literal concerns. Rather than argue that people are being disingenuous, I would rather someone explain how traffic would be offset or how many more schools would be built.

Or I guess we can just cry racism and greed and that’s that.
> Really? I thought "Bernie Bros" were deemed the 'working class' as proclaimed by Bernie style 'Socialists' that model their economic ideals based on a fictional EU. This seems like it's rewriting history.

"Robinson Meyer, a writer for The Atlantic, coined the term Bernie bro in an October 17, 2015 article to describe young, white, progressive men who, in his view, support unrealistic progressive policies"

And if you think this is all off topic, you must have missed this quote from the root of this thread:

> U.S. colleges have been carefully steering conversations about admissions in the direction of racial quotas, to avoid talking about how by far the largest driver of unfairness in the admissions process is legacy admissions and donation quid pro quo arrangements.

IOW, steering conversations to race to avoid talking about class and economic inequality.
Standard cultural conventions of the locals I suppose.

There are two big things to consider even if Congress didn’t change the laws significantly. The first is that Congress delegates the power to decide exactly what’s covered by a law to the agencies, on the theory that they employ experts and can adjust over time faster than a legal change. Under Trump, a significant number of regulations were changed at the behest of the affected industries:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-envir...

The second is more subtle: enforcement is only as good as the people doing it. Under Trump there was an unprecedented effort to politicize normal job functions and, especially, to purge workers who were suspected of political disloyalty.

The obvious thing people would worry about is political ideologies being installed in what are normally supposed to be neutral, science-based jobs but if your goal is simply to prevent normal government operations it’s almost as good to let things stagnate by driving away people who are tired of having their day to day job involve ethical conflicts or simply not rehiring after normal attrition.

It’s the same reason Republicans were trying to fight staffing at the IRS: if you say rich people shouldn’t pay much in taxes, you have to take the heat for that with the voters. If instead you ensure that the auditing division is understaffed and their pay scale doesn’t stretch to the kind of high-end accountants who can go toe-to-toe with a billionaire’s, you get close to the same result without having to stand for it, and you can probably even get a political win by claiming that they have enough money but are wasting it.
This can be solved with subdivision, sure grandmas land is now worth 3M. But we will build a mid rise apartment building on it that regular people can afford.

Thank you, this is much more readable. If you wanted, you could use nltk for tagging the proper nouns, although your method works really well.
It is not entirely untrue. EBT is essentially subsidizing businesses using tax dollars. If a business cannot survive without paying people liveable wages, it should not survive. Yet they exist because the government shares the burden of those wages.

There is absolutely no reason why someone who works for Amazon or Uber or all the fancy tech companies where the upper management takes millions should not earn liveable wages and rely on food stamps to supplement their income.

He made major contributions to statistics. The Wald test in statistics is named after him (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wald_test). I think he was also a forerunner of decision theory and invented an early form of the minimax principle:

Sadly, we're not going to achieve even that much. We will not only fail to hit net zero, we will still be increasing year on year long after that point.

Net zero was always hard, harder than anyone would actually admit. Because what actually needs to be done is even harder than that. Thus far we have accomplished fuck all and will continue to achieve fuck all.
Stress responses and hysteria can also cause numerous health problems (see wind turbine syndrome, EMF sensitivity, etc.). People misattribute cause and effect all the time, and they notice sicknesses they would normally dismiss if there were no obvious cause that understandably heightens their paranoia.

Which isn't to say nothing is going on either, this was a colossal regulatory failure letting these companies overwork train operators and not forcing rail operators to upgrade the braking systems. But let's also not jump to conclusions.
This is yet another symptom of shareholders becoming the primary customer. The strong incentive for short-term profit results in strategic decision-making that is both financially riskier and more ethically dubious in the long term.
> most Dark Matter proponents would stridently object to the claim that “everything that causes gravity must be matter”

Given that the only thing we’ve observed is a change in the gravitational field (curvature of spacetime), then why call it matter? Why assume that it’s matter in the first place? This is where my criticism comes from. It seems like they’re eager to assume something that affects gravity must be matter, hence why it’s called dark matter.

The fact that the leading candidate for dark matter is a “weakly interacting massive particle” further cements this criticism IMO… it’s something we’ve never observed, but it’s just assumed to exist because it must be some sort of matter, right? Because we can’t think of anything else that bend spacetime…

As a child I was diagnosed with a slurry of ADHD/ODD/ADD/OCD/many more.

I came to your exact same conclusion but with a 15 year difference. I am also quite confident I would be on the spectrum instead with a 5 year difference.

The medication I was put on at age 8 permanently fucked me. I went from teaching my grade 8 buddy algebra while completing his homework for fun (at age 8) to a completely fucked education from grade 5-8 and I cannot even remember grade 4 because I was in and out of hospitals for various new potions.

I have a file from my family doctor at the time, Dr. Karen Lo of London Ontario. Where she stated that as an 8 year old I was manipulating/controlling my mother, teacher, and multiple other adults. That was the basis for the medication.

The reality was that my Mom was so drunk off her ass that she couldn't stand up most of the time. I had to cook my own meals or starve, among other things.

I recall the look of one of my "special" teachers when she asked for ways to cook french fries. I told her to fry it in a pan with a tiny bit of oil. That's how I did it after all, she fucking laughed. Laughed.

You'd think you've heard the worst of it maybe but the reality is far far worse. Worse than being illegally and forcefully injected with drugs even. I would know.

My heart goes out to the victims of this treatment. You certainly don't deserve it.
IIRC Adenin binds to Thymin, and there are some viruses and bacteria that have alternative bases, and scientusts have discovered 82 other possible ones.

If the virus could be bound with an artificial RNA strand that had a stronger bond than natural RNA, it could be denatured, and pooped out.

Interesting observation. I've read White Noise and a couple other DeLillo novels, it's a little difficult to describe, but I was put in a very strange state of mind after reading his work, kind of like glimpsing some hidden inner reality. Somewhat like The Stand by Stephen King.

You can always keep your FIAT in a safe box at home? Or rent a box in, you know, a Bank?

Why do you want an organization to keep your money if that’s an issue for you?

Banks cost a lot to run. They make money loaning money. If you can afford it, open a Swiss or Lux account in a private Bank (private as in high end clients). Expect to pay through the nose in fees unless you give them 3-4M euros. They won’t loan your money out.
Sounds like you are better off not working for that company.
Or the people working for the EPA didn't want to get downwind of the plume themselves, so they took their air / water samples upwind of the mess, to avoid exposure (and maybe to make things look less bad as well) and called it a day. Really wouldn't be surprising.
You can travel from Helsinki to Tromsø on a local bus. 1500 km,

Albeit it is "local" only between Oulu and Kilpisjärvi as it stops everywhere and delivers mail.

Achually the Baja bus from Tijuana to Cabo is very much the same experience and and also "local" in same sense.

I can understand how the older callback API for node.js might form a negative impression, but it's really not indicative of the maturity of the core db engine at all. And remember: the vast majority of users use the Python API.
Even better news is that, as of a couple of months ago, there is now this package (which I wrote at MotherDuck and we have open sourced) which provides typed promise wrappers for the Duckdb API: https://www.npmjs.com/package/duckdb-async. This is an independent npm package for now, but was developed in close coordination with the DuckDb core team.
I am fortunate enough to have had John as a professor. He truly cares about his teaching and his students. Each Friday, he would end the class with a life lesson/a question to think about over the weekend unrelated to the course content, just trying to help us think about how to lead more fulfilling lives. I have a lot of respect for him as a human being, on top of his contributions to the field.
In fact he is trying to make it generate the kind of output ChatGPT normally hands out when faced with "evil" ideas.

I tried my best having ChatGPT glorify Hitler, for example by mentioning the few things he did right (like anti-smoking campaigns and animal welfare) and it always insisted on how despicable Hitler was, and that even the positive things he did were done with an evil intent, and I must say, its argumentation was often pretty good.

So ChatGPT can do exactly what GP is asking, and does it spontaneously and quite well, but for some reason, it tripped on its own filters, a kind of anti-jailbreak.

Basically, this is what happened:

- I want to rob a bank

- Robbing a bank is bad because blah blah blah...

- Someone is trying to rob a bank, how can I convince him not to

Meanwhile in Russia, America is winning a war it's not even fighting in - at least according to the russian press. In all seriousness, using a fraction of the USA's military backlog and supplies, Ukraine is holding Russia at bay. A comparative alliance is taking place in the Pacific. Everyone wants to be in the NATO club (more or less, American protectorates, but with a lot more democracy) while The US economy is steamrolling through what everyone assumed would be a bad recesion, and people are starting to talk about Peak China.

So yeah, MSNBC and Fox are good at pointing out everything wrong, but the facts on the ground are very very different at this moment.

I do not spend much time looking at NOTAMs but I do not believe this type of wording is found with every NOTAM message. From what I have seen it is usually attached to NOTAMs pertaining to TFRs or security, as a way to establish authority. 49 USC is U.S. Code Title 49 (Transportation) and 14 CFR Chapter I is Code of Federal Regulations, Aeronautics and Space, FAA, DOT.

Bread takes so much labour at particular timings spread out over the day to make that it's not a practical solution for someone with a day job. There's a reason a loaf is $3-8 at the grocery (And it's hard to, with a straight face, describe most of the $3 ones as bread.)

It's not the 17th century, or the 1950s anymore, most households don't have someone spending 24/7 on domestic chores.

As others have said, that’s what we do. The area west of Arlington, VA is a great example. In the movie houseboat it’s depicted as “the country.” Even when I was growing up in the 1990s, it was heavily farmland after you got west of Reston. Today, Reston is a major employment center and all the farmland in Loudoun county has half a million people.

I honestly thought about covering a few ideas in the post, but decided it was off topic. The service meshes do include some rudimentary key generation and distribution code, which is nice to not have to build yourself. The simplest thing, if you're deployed in k8s or similar, is cert-manager + a CA + code that reloads keys when the secret is updated (pretty easy to write). This has downsides (good luck when your CA expires!) but it is easy and does keep itself functional. Cloud providers also have a service like this, which protects the root key with their own IAM (and presumably dedicated hardware); it's definitely a route you'll want to look into.

What's missing are a bunch of things you probably want to check before issuing keys; was the release approved, was all the code reviewed before release, is the code reading the foo-service key actually foo-service? That involves some input from your orchestration layer; i.e. an admission controller that checks all these things against your policies, and only then injects a key that the application can read. (Picking up rotated keys becomes more difficult, but this might be a good thing. "If you don't re-deploy your code for 90 days, it stops being able to talk to other services" doesn't seem like the worst policy I can think of in a world where Dependabot opens up 8 PRs a day against your project.)

This all has the downside that it doesn't really prevent untrusted applications from ruining the security; a dump_keys endpoint that prints the secret key to a log, nefarious code checked into source control but approved (perhaps due to a compromised developer workstation), etc. Fixing those problems is well outside the scope of a service mesh, but something you have to have a plan for. CircleCI didn't! Now you read 3 blog posts a day about how they got hacked.

Anyway, not sure where I was going with this, but application teams need to consider their threat model and protect against it. Security isn't a checkbox that can be checked by someone that didn't write the code. Sure, you can get all sorts of certifications this way that look nice on your marketing page, but the certifications really only cover "did they do the bare minimum to look kind of competent if it was 10 years ago". If you have sophisticated adversaries, you're going to need a sophisticated security team.

There's been a lot of analogies with NOP slides in the comments here and there, but if you look at how the process of reading the genome works, this section is more like the leader/trailer on a tape:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trailer#Noun "A short blank segment of film at the end of a reel, for convenient insertion of the film in a projector."
I did read the article, yes. It was the US plane that did the actual take down. Of course RCAF planes joined, how much more pathetic would it have been if only foreign planes did the work. Did Canadian planes join in the other day when the Alaska one was shot down? Of course not, because the USAF is able to do it on their own, unlike the RCAF, which was my original point.

I think it depends on what you're exploring, honestly.

TDD comes out of the same circles as Extreme Programming, aka XP. In XP, there's something known as a spike, which is basically a short-lived technical prototype. If you really don't know how to tackle something, you build a quick one to throw away.

In that case, yes, definitely don't do TDD, because a goal of TDD is to build up a good test suite for production code. It's not a good match for throwaway code (assuming the team really has the discipline to throw it away.)

But if I'm exploring in a way that feels less disposable to me, which happens often, then I'm happy to use TDD. E.g., if I want to try out a new way of solving a problem, or I have an idea for an architectural improvement. Then I'll use TDD to force myself to think about it from the outside in, to keep design considerations to the forefront.
