As someone who self-taught essentially this over the past couple years, I'm not sure what benefit it would bring. Both developing and deploying models are already domains well established enough to not be covered by a couple courses (I'll be honest it doesn't seem like the material is 9 courses worth). You can hire an 'AI Engineer' or freely use an open source SOTA model developed by a team of PhDs.
I'm not aware of any ordinary scenario in which estimated insurance or pension funding obligations are included in compensation figures.

That's because private companies don't have _estimated_ pension funding obligations. I'm not aware of any private employer in the US which makes job offers that include a defined benefit retirement plan.

They either do some specific % 401(k) match, or they don't. In either case, the % is known and you factor it in as part of your total compensation when you compare employers.

For most private employers, the % they will contribute to your pension is zero or a single digit percentage.

Neither is directly realizable by the employee

It's realized after retirement, as I said earlier. I don't know whether you genuinely believe that money received after retirement doesn't count, but I think I'll stop repeating myself now :)
Strays are much more a problem in the southern US. In the northern states, rescue shelters often advertise that the dogs up for adoption came from Florida, Georgia or some other southeastern state. This is because the spay-and-neuter programs up north have been so aggressive and wildly successful that animals in need of rescue are much rarer in those states. Another consequence is that you can easily obtain an animal for no or little cost in the south, whereas shelters can charge hundreds of dollars even for a rescue animal up north, and unless there is, for example, a glut of beagles rescued from some science lab that used them for experimentation, it may also sometimes be difficult to find a suitable animal.

Well, I can recommend a few books by e.g. Thomas Sowell that I'm pretty sure refute whatever model some rando on youtube armed with an opinion has. Come back when you've read them, although if you don't want to understand that's also fine... this is not how discussions work. You actually have to present an argument, not expect someone to watch an 18 minute video from a rando.

> If Bezos can buy the cops, should we get rid of cops so he can't exercise power through cops?

Exactly! Well, almost. Ideally, the powers they have should be treated as baseline evil, and then there should be a good argument for any of them being a /necessary/ evil - e.g. is the alternative actually, obviously worse; at the very least, the powers should be restricted and defined as much as possible, so that there's the least possible room to stretch and abuse them.

EDIT: I realized I responded kinda out of context after that. As per above, Bezoses bribing govt actors has historically been much less less of a concern than govt actors just abusing power of their own accord; and when Bezoses do abuse power via govt actors, the main reason is that govt actors have lots of power, wide discretion, complex easy to obfuscate rules, etc. With cops, drug prohibiyion is a great example - rife for abuse and selective enforcement. Remove the power, and it becomes much harder to abuse.

I would be quite happy if you could add a single character in a function definition to log the function name and all arguments on call, and function name at time of return. I spend a substantial amount of time manually adding logging to unfamiliar or malfunctioning code, and this would improve (not eliminate) the difficulty of doing so.

> Good luck trying to administer corporal punishment to a young man who is bigger, fitter and stronger than you

Why are teenage boys bigger, fitter and stronger than the teachers? Maybe because ~75% of teachers are women? There's value in the ability of physically-capable adult males to quietly intimidate adolescents. There's value in well-rounded men who can provide classroom instruction but maybe also coach the boxing/powerlifting/wrestling teams. The next time Mr. Smith puts some bass in his voice and tells you to sit down and stop disrupting class, there should be a voice in the back of your head that says "I should do that, because he just might uppercut me into the stratosphere". I suspect that students aren't learning the principle of "Fuck Around and Find Out" from ANY authority figure in their daily lives. Our society as a whole seems to have forgotten the importance of male role models IMO...

Qwiklabs was acquired by Google back in 2016 and has been their standard training platform for ages.

https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/21/google-acquires-qwiklabs-t...
Of course it is legit. That guy who made the comment is just too lazy to look it up.

https://edu.google.com/programs/credits/training/
Technically speaking, this is a 3rd party app. Evidence is the "sign in with Google" saying the app is owned by Qwiklabs.

It took a bit of dig but they were acquired by Google. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/qwiklabs. Strange that they haven't fully assimilated their stack / org into Google / GCP proper.

Edit: seems like they were acquired in 2016. On the one hand, it seems unacceptable that this team is going rogue and autonomous in 2023. Disclaimer: I worked at Google acquiree and worked on projects to integrate into Google proper. On the other hand, they must be frustrated with all the redtape of GCP. Disclaimer: I worked on GCP and also worked with the docs org there. The GCP docs org was the most toxic, incompetent and difficult people to work with during my time at Google. It would not surprise me if they were gatekeeping and blocking on this initiative. They ignored user feedback, and also shutdown any feedback from GCP developers and people who actually used and understood the product.

"Shouldn't" is entirely your opinion, and many people happen to disagree with it.

Ultimately what should actually matter is what makes the world a better/best place for the most people. Our current copyright regime isn't doing that, but it's not at all clear that having no copyright at all would be better than having some much more limited form of copyright.

If someone wants to spend $$$$ on a dress from some well-known designer because they want to show off their wealth, then that's fine. Other people who don't care about the brand name can spend $$ on a near-copy of that dress and look just as good, without spending so much money. If there's enough suckers out there to keep the expensive brands in business, without needing copyright laws to protect them, I don't see the problem here at all.

I think what you have to bear in mind is, with all sorts of caveats and exceptions, the HN crowd is at the centre of the current ecocidal empire, with most participants personally gaining from biosphere destruction. Participating here is much like being around public debate forums in 18thC Britain, where, yes, the slave traders inevitably dominated because they were at the centre of power, but abolitionists kept heads high and voices loud and eventually won. Of course we don't yet know whether or not we're going to win.

Being here can be interesting, but don't expect it to be sympatico. There can be no solidarity while exploitation dominates.
> If I write a song and you copy the song and start charging audiences to come to a performance or sell a cd, I can still charge audiences to come to a performance or sell a cd.

> In fact it is often the case that artists are more successful after someone has copied their work than before.

Big fat "citation needed" there. I won't say that never happens, because certainly it does, but saying it happens "often" (at least, often enough to indicate abolishing copyright) doesn't pass the smell test with me, and requires some evidence.
> It's realized after retirement, as I said earlier. I don't know whether you genuinely believe that money received after retirement doesn't count, but I think I'll stop repeating myself now :)

It doesn't count in annual take-home. The original article implies (through singling out) that these "poop patrol" employees are somehow being disproportionately enriched, when the reality is that their take-home is ordinary for civil servants in SF (and below the city's average take-home).

Being below the average take-home makes sense, in turn, given that the position is pensioned. But the article makes this staid arrangement sound like graft.
It is Google's e-learning platform that provides courses and labs (step-by-step trainings in Google Cloud). Before cloudskillboost it was called Qwiklabs which was acquired by Google a couple of years ago. It is completely legit and has a OAuth login flow using your Google Identity.

We adopted a stray that at one point was in a Texas shelter < 24 hrs away from euthanasia. He was ~3yrs old, had Heartworm, and was riddled with buckshot & pellets... so his prospects weren't great. His impound papers said "came in darted, contact Animal Control Officer before release".

Fast forward a little bit. He's incredible. Outgoing, super intelligent, loyal, goofy, amazing with kids. Does still sometimes bark at strangers if startled, but never bites (even when other dogs have drawn blood).

He's an integral part of the family, and just about the best thing that ever happened to me. Healthy now, and seems to be aware he's got it pretty darn good these days. I can't imagine if it had gone the other way.

The first 8 courses cover only theory and are completely free. The last two require spinning up GCP compute resources and cost 1 credit and 3 credits respectively, where the baseline price of a Qwiklabs credit is $1 each.

There is another side to this coin, too. It is clients that describe their needs, not some specific and wrong solution, and then either get told they did not do their homework, or their needs getting ignored by a dev who thinks he is smarter than the client in the client's own field.

It is correct that "Requirements = a set of problems", and therefore it does not make sense at all to repeatedly ask the client for a technical solution instead of asking for the problems to solve, and then be surprised that the client does not talk about problems anymore.

Just an example, how profit sharing might be divided up in a private company based on my personal observation.

50% profit retained by company for growth

25% profit distributed to shareholders

25% profit distributed to employees.

The Employee distribution (distributed quarterly, paid out after 6 months, only to employees still employed at the time of payout)

- 40% Based on number of years with company

- 40% Based on last 12 months earned salary

- 20% Based on cumulative salaries earned to date since starting at the company
Their reasons for dismissing HA seem sound to me. Python is a negative for some people. Suggesting to run in docker is a negative for some people.

Personally, I gave in and installed HA in a VM, because it seemed like the least effort way to use HomeKit capable devices without purchasing Apple products, and I was able to connect the HomeKit things, but I can't figure out how to do what I want with them, so I not sure what I got. Ideally, I want to make my 'smart' thermostats a bit smarter ... better coordination between zones, different minimum fan runtime rules than I can get from the thermostat, loosen the setpoints when the tv is on or someone is on the phone, so the hvac noise is less bothersome, etc. But I can't figure out how to get HA to track the fan runtime, so all that complexity is like ugh, I'd be better off doing it myself, except the homekit stuff isn't sensible either.
I see this less of support and more of a news update on how Reddit is countering the protest. It's possible this is just a coincidence, but it is something to be aware of at least.

The good news is that this will mostly affect English, but most other languages are likely to keep being mostly generated by humans. This could even encourage people to use their own language more on the internet, which I think is a win for human cultural diversity.

> I’m willing to tolerate some of in the form of limited time monopolies if it benefits humanity.

So in other words you are absolutely fine with the concept of the ownership of ideas, you just disagree on what the legal terms should be around it. Which is fine! I disagree with the current copyright regime too.

But I think having some form of (much more limited) copyright would benefit humanity much more than having no copyright at all.

I did finally have to install one docker thing to keep zwave working after support for the (legitimately bad) python-openzwave lib was deprecated.
