No. I was lower-middle class in a country with a social safety net, and the day my mother broke her car and had to fix it, we ate potatoes and were handed vegetable for months by a local producer, and we had to cut them because they were all partially rotten (but free!). Luckily my grandmother gave us eggs and milk regularly (yeah, countryside boy here, bite me), so we never missed on vitamins nor proteins, but each time we had cheese at school i was in heaven. The same thing happen in a city with less family support, and we would have been hungry (or at least would have suffered from deficiencies).

Can I be your friend? :)

I'm looking for a job, and just started hacking together a job posts database with data scraped from a few aggregators and a couple of specific companies. Currently it's all just local and for myself, mostly raw data with some basic statistics and keyword similarity heuristics.

I decided to try something new and different and take it into my own hands (instead of hoping LinkedIn shows me the "right job").

I'm frustrated by the sheer volume of clearly duplicate job posts which often only vary by the "city" (even if they're 100% remote) and the lack of any kind of basic filtering for programming languages, tech stacks, platforms, years of experience requirements, company industry / size / age etc.

I'm really curious what others who have been doing this for much longer have learned! How do you store your data? How do you process it? Have you eliminated manual cleansing and grooming? So many questions...
If by "real-world" you are specifically talking about the commercial space, I wouldn't hold my breath. I can only imagine there first being a DIY/hobbyist scene attached to it, and then possibly an academic/research scene.

I think it could trivially enable all the micro-applications that people are constantly dreaming up... the kinds of things that are hidden away in all the various shell or python scripts across creation, as well as the little web apps all over github that just can't get any traction.

I think this could be a project to sort of unite all of those things under a common umbrella.

You're doing a pretty good job parroting what the incumbent carriers say, but have you actually studied it?

UTOPIA in Utah is a good example of a major municipal fiber project.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Telecommunication_Open_...

It's a competitive open access network - customers can pick which ISP they connect to. The services offered range from affordable ($80/mo gigabit) to... way beyond what most residential customers in the US can get ($280/mo for 10gbps service). https://xmission.com/utopia

Competition, it turns out, is awesome but sharing last-mile fiber resources is awesome too so that you can have competition without having to pay for multiple fiber links per house.

(And from my experience in Pittsburgh - Comcast's pricing is abysmal. Verizon FiOS is very reasonable but still more expensive with worse limits than Utopia. My almost-gigabit home service on FiOS is $90/month; my backup 20mbps Comcast link is $50/month.)

Personal data is shared with Google and the carrier, that's why they need to ask for consent to enable the feature.

Here's the consent popup: https://imgur.com/a/PIqcDgR

The design of such consent popups has been deemed illegal in the EU, Google was also previously fined [1] for a similar consent popup. The "REJECT" button needs to be just as accessible and needs to have about the same visual weight as the "ACCEPT" button, dark patterns like the ones you see in the RCS consent popup above are illegal.

Personally, I’d just start generating temporal IDs for all content (user or ad) so there was no way to know what the stream contained w/o something prohibitively expensive on the client side. Permalinks, since they’re necessary would just redirects (to a temporal URL).

A temporal URL here uses different random looking values for the each user rather than a fixed one (like a URL shorter), and encode a validity window (not before/after).

The core idea here being that the code in the app doesn’t know the difference between ads and user content, which would make it very difficult for any intermediary to do so. And, if if they did the URL for the “real” content wouldn’t work until the time to play the ad had passed - so what’d be the point in bothering?

Like others have said - ya just have to pay for the things you value. No shame in being thrifty, but as I learned from my first employer: pick great suppliers and never force them out of business.
I used to work on backend systems at both comcast and cox. Comcast’s engineering teams are stronk especially compared to Cox. One thing I took away from meeting their leadership team was that they were paying attention all of the questions an outsider was asking. The trouble that plagued them was set top boxes and they made an engineering decision over 10 years ago to git rid of them. Today I fully understand and appreciate how they are the number one cable isp.

Food for thought: they pay their engineers FAANG salaries, which explains the high service costs. Their technicians can make 100k+. The costs are high but you pay for what you get, my issue with that is you are forced into that price which most municipalities must pay

One of the biggest challenges in learning, especially in learning something new, is that it’s a chain. If you don’t have something’s prerequisite knowledge, you can’t understand it (by definition). This means that only one insufficient explanation by the author blows it. As a general rule, it’s really hard to not mess up once!

You make a good distinction between someone being paid to respond and not. A feedback loop helps out a lot here.

Failing that, you need to take this into your own hands. Honestly, you’re probably going to have to tell yourself a new story to get there. Maybe having empathy for the difficulty of teaching. Maybe it’s finding some inner drive. I don’t know. But you need to look at that paragraph, accept it’s insufficiently explained, and take responsibility for understanding it.

I’m not saying to read it over and over until you “get it”. (I don’t know why people try that, it’s kinda foolish). A simple strategy works most of the time. Read it until you find a word or phrase you don’t sufficiently understand. Maybe that’s “random variable”. Maybe it’s “probability density function”. Find an explanation for that (Wikipedia, ChatGPT, textbooks, videos). The fun thing is this algorithm is recursive. So you’ll likely run into something you don’t know again. That’s okay, just keep going. If it’s really tough, a lot of the value of a tutor is steering this depth first search.

Get each concept to the point you understand it very well for the problem at hand. You don’t have to know everything about PDFs, but don’t hand wave it either. After this process, you’ll be able understand this paragraph and continue.

This may take a while! If something is in a new domain, it’s usual for you to actually spend more time backfilling knowledge than on the main content itself. That may make it not worth it for you, but it’s not inherently bad. And the next time for something similar should be faster.
> and what makes the power of a randome value so special vice just operating on the randome value itself.

Literally four sentences later you would have found:
* The first raw moment E(X) – the mean of the sequence of measurements.
* The second central moment E((X−μX)2) – the variance of the sequence of measurements.

And if you had gotten as far as the part you quoted, you would have seen an extended example of why one is interested in means and variances.

I have a deep love-hate relationship with Mozilla. I want Firefox marketshare to grow, but it seems like many of the ventures that Mozilla has (like with Pocket) would just alienate the generally more technical audience that is still on Firefox. They've seemingly killed a lot of their R&D with the winding down of Servo, which is not a good sign given that they are struggling to keep up with Google technology-wise. The mess with MDN didn't send a great message either, though I don't know where that ended up.

Some of Mozilla's ventures seem cool. Like Mozilla VPN seems like a win/win; it supports Mullvad, you get a reasonable service, no complaints from me. But the thing that sucks is, Mozilla clearly needs to expand and build a large business to properly support Firefox, but their avenues for doing so in an ethically reasonable way that connects with the general mission seem pretty limited. Like it would be better if they could operate leaner and more directly focused on just building a good browser, but a lot of their options for monetizing Firefox itself are absolutely terrible. Ever since the whole debacle with using Firefox Studies to advertise, I don't even use upstream Firefox anymore. I do use Thunderbird and even donate sometimes, but I'm terrified that despite being donation-driven Thunderbird will somehow start to be enshittified too as part of their strategy to try to grow at any cost.

All of this signals, to me, a more general issue: it seems that maintaining a feasible mainstream web browser has become generally unsustainable.
Same conclusion. Cancelled Netflix, mostly watch Tubi. Tubi does get a bad rep because it does have a lot of really, really bad movies. But it also has a lot of really good movies. You just have to find them, and they make little effort to help you with that, for some reason.

I don't understand where does the excess basal energy expenditure go. Do persons like the OP when <25 y.o. produce significantly more heat (e.g. wearing only t-shirt and shorts even in winter, and "dying" in the summer)? Does the skinnier body mean way bigger heat losses, even when compared to bigger surface area after getting fat (i.e., way higher surface temperature)? (presumably yes, but to this extent?) The article states that the basal expenditure increases with "fat free mass", so someone fat but muscular will have this "overheating" problem even stronger?
Max Welling's Kalman Filter tutorial [1] derives the smoother equations using pretty clear and easy to follow notation (and is a great resource generally).

Briefly: you first run the filter equations "forwards", processing each datapoint sequentially from start to end. Then you run the smoother "backwards" in time on the same data going from end to start.

>> LFPs lose some of their capacity early on, but then the degradation is much slower. ... <<

There is nothing weird about lithium ion batteries, including LFPs, degrading quickly under high SOC/high C-rates -- ie, EVs.
We don't know anything about LFP's longevity in EV profil, and, while there is no long-term data on LFP's true lifespan in EVs, it's been demonstrated that LFP could lose as much as 1/3 of its lifespan under 100% SOC in ESS profile.

LFP's are already mostly limited to entry-level, low-range EVs due to its other technical short-coming in moving vehicles (ie, low energy density and weight). This quick degradation makes LFP even less appealing in vehicles.

I'm also going to support this.

As a regular interviewer, signs of instability are a pretty big flag when I'm looking to address team fit, culture, and overall cohesion. Certain bits of activism can be looked past, but if it's a piece of core identity I'm going to shy away. Talk of having others fired and prosecuted, similarly. I don't want the drama of having to deal with someone with mental health issues, low self esteem, a victim mentality, and a history of making complaints. For me, that's a risk, even if your history in this space was all justified. Lock that stuff up and do not mention it.

The victim mentality may or may not be swaying your language, so make sure you start to address those thoughts and work through them. Begin with recognising your thoughts of the past and wrongdoing, and say to yourself that the past is the past, I'm going to move on, then turn your thoughts to the future. Plan for a better you. These things are hard and require constant thought.

Your words and post scare me as an employer who has had to turn culture around, and who has more than once built a workplace that people seem to be quite happy with. As others have said, get some medical help, skip the soft drugs too, and work on your mental state. Ask for feedback after interviews, and listen to what is being said and the undertones of what isn't being said. Use it to better your approach next time.
Rich and poor are relative terms. Anyone reading this comment can feel rich in certain rooms and poor in others. There is only 1 person in the entire world that is the richest person they know.

My takeaway from this post is that how someone feels about being rich or poor is something they can control and it might be better to not feel poor most of the time.

Being poor (or not) has some objective level, but is mostly about the surroundings that a person finds themselves in. Feeling poor also needs to account for an individual's past. I've had times where I was flush with cash and those situations raised the bar for feeling rich vs poor for my present & future self.

Maybe because poverty is mostly a relative concept/status/whatever?

No, actual poverty involves physical survival being uncertain, it involve fear and the pain of hunger and the pain of other things related to an uncertain existence (untreated health problems, physically carrying the limit stuff you possess around, etc).

How do you know which one is the original?
What then about mathematical structures that do not exist in the real world? Do you discover some and invent others? Or do you think all mathematical structures are realized?

You say that no sane person will deny the existence of three, I am actually willing to go even further, I am willing to deny the natual existence of your apples and horses. The idea of cutting the universe into pieces is arguably an invention. It is of course an extremely useful idea for comprehending the universe, but if you think about it, you are somewhat arbitrarily drawing borders around collections of atoms.

There is one forest. And a hundred trees. And millions of cells. Is the water in a tree part of the tree? What about the water inside of the cells? When does it become part of the tree? What about a water molecule just evaporating from a leave, when does it become part of the atmosphere?

But even if there are things that can be counted, or if quarks and gluons behave in a way that can be described using SU(3), does that really imply the existence of the mathematical structure used to describe those things? Where do you get multiplication from? Or tetration? Are they invented while the basic structure of the integers is discovered? What exactly does existence even imply or require in this case?

And another thing just came to my mind. In which way do the apples and horses tell us anything about three? I can see that you can probably demonstrate that you can pair your apples and your horses, but that is quite far from telling us anything about three as you can do the same with any number of objects.

You also say the common thing is three, but that does not really help to pick out what three is, therevare many common things. Also note that you introduced the idea of a set, where does that come from?

Three is not something that applies to one of the apples or horses, it applies to the sets of them. Does the set of three horses exist or is that not something you made up, this, this and that, this are my three horses?

And now that we are talking about sets, because that is where three comes into play, why did we talk about apples and horses to begin with, it totally doesn't matter what you put into your sets, just how many things. So did we just lose the relationship to the real world or at least conclude that it never mattered?

I would at least say that it is certainly not as easy as you want it to be, there is much more nuance to this than three apples, three horses, therefore natural numbers. It actually sound circular. Let me pick three apples and three horse, now look, here are two sets of three things, so three exists.

Maybe it would be a nice challenge to tell me how to find three in nature. You obviously can not say take three horses. It seems tempting to say start without a horse, then add one, then another and yet another. But did you then not just invent that, did you not just come up with the axioms of the natural numbers, just expressed with horses instead of symbols?
