I would wager that very few engineering managers have significant formal training in management. While software engineers can hold a wide variety of degrees, the most common is a CS degree, and few of those include significant coursework specifically about engineering management.

Thus, unlike with IC-track positions, it is likely that an engineer promoted into a management role is coming in cold. And while there are a variety of helpful books and training materials about engineering management, in general new EMs are expected to mostly learn by doing.

“Learn by doing” can be tricky, however, because many of the issues a seasoned engineering manager is expected to be able to capably handle do not happen every day. They happen relatively infrequently, and sometimes only when you change teams, but you need to know how to handle them when they do occur.

Because engineering management is largely a “learn by doing” craft, and because it can take years in the role to experience even the half of what a seasoned EM is typically expected to be able to capably handle, I would argue that the best EMs are those who have had abundant opportunities to learn from their mistakes. But you can certainly speed that up at least a little bit by learning from other people's mistakes instead :)

There is a reason we spend two billion dollars a day on the US military whilst not at war and it has nothing to do with “the people” who are mostly struggling to make rent and afford groceries whilst working constantly without healthcare.

Most Americans don’t vote (but are forced to pay taxes to fund these things) so assuming their will without data is spurious at best and actively misleading at worst.

That's 45% waste, and excludes other middlemen. It's unclear if the increase from 25% is due to driving other middlemen out of the industry, or due to becoming even more parasitic.

If a corporation buys some stores from another corporation it pays a price. It then values all the tangible assets to find out how much it puts on its books as tangible assets to be depreciated over their respective useful lives. It will quite typically find that it paid more in total for the acquisition than the tangible assets are worth, but it is not usually required to report a loss for paying more than the sum of the values of the tangible assets. The difference is the value of the acquired businesses as going concerns, sometimes called 'good will.' That becomes an asset on the acquirers balance sheet to be depreciated over some period of time. The acquirer may also be able to assign some of the purchase price to capitalize such assets as deferred tax credits, contracts signed by the sold business, trademarks and licenses, etc. Those assets may be written down over years to offset income of the combined entity that would otherwise be taxable. Then there is the possibility of buying a corporation, holding it for a few years and then spinning it off tax-free, which can equivalent to a huge dividend to the shareholders of the purchasing company that never was taxable as corporate income.

There is no competition because there is no market transparency at all.

Wrong, there is no competition in medical care both because in the end it's not possible for lay person to make informed decisions about the spectrum of treatments available when they are under time pressure and there is no way to have choice when you have a single hospital serving a substantial area (and other ways that health care is a "natural monopoly").

"If you have that ability"

I think I specifically called out the danger of the average developer rewriting code because they don't understand it.

But If you DO understand the code base and you do have the time/resources/vision you can rewrite as a form of radical refactoring, taking the lessons learned over the original development and compressing them into a newer system that allows some kind of business expansion/pivot/innovation.

Yes all change requires risk but there is risk in not changing as well.

Companies go under just as often from NOT rewriting or NOT building something new/better.

If you don't truly understand the whole system and you don't have a business case for what your new system would do then DON'T rewrite.

On the flip side, if you DO understand a 20million+ line codebase of your company's web app and you know you could rewrite it all yourself/with a small team and make it 10x better then definitely don't waste time arguing with your boss about whether refactoring is a good idea.

Quit and start your own company because you've identified a massive inefficiency in the market to exploit.

It doesn’t really matter if the delta shrinks, if, in absolute terms people in the bottom and middle are better off. This is the problem I have with the framing of wealth inequality.

If you're better off than a king was 100 years ago, and there’s a billionaire out there that’s a thousand times richer than you are, what’s the issue? I’d rather live in a high-delta society than a society where everyone is equal, but equally destitute (Venezuela, Cuba, etc).
No. The traditional compiler heuristic is to assume backwards branches are taken (loops) and forward branches are not.

The challenge is that Pharma companies still spend huge sums on marketing, both to patients and to doctors.

> incentive to chase HCOL areas where they can get paid or higher margin patients/procedures.

I can't speak to dentistry, but physician income tends to be lower in HCOL areas because they tend to be oversaturated with physicians and thus fewer patients per physician.

It's paradoxical. It's the reverse trend of almost every other profession.

As for why for physicians to live and work in HCOL areas, it tends to be more about personal life. For example, if your spouse has a tech job, you may find yourself to the Bay Area even though your income potential as a physician there is much lower than it would be in the Central Valley. Or you might prefer the public schools in the HCOL areas. Or maybe you prefer to live in an HCOL area to be close to family. Or maybe you like to travel and prefer not to be a 5-hour drive from the nearest international airport.

It's definitely an unconventional syntax. In addition to the above, OpenMP and shader languages annotate the branch statement for parallelism or branch/predication hints.

The first time I tried to use the new hints I did [[likely]] if(), which of course did nothing.

In an abstract sense, I'm not a fan of people rolling out quotes from nuanced creative societal thinkers like George Carlin to use in a modern context.

The reason is because people use it for whatever agenda fits. It's a Rorschach.

Cons see these quotes and think it's applicable to "PC culture" and think George Carlin would tell kids to toughen up.

Libs see these quotes and think it's applicable to "truthiness" and the post-truth world the alt-right spins.

Truth is, George Carlin died in 2008. He missed the entire Obama years and the Trump era. We have no idea what he would've said or thought about the evolution of culture, of cancel culture, of Trump, of trans rights, on Ukraine.

From the musical “Hair”:

I would just like to say that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Of appearance are nothing more than the male's emergence

There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the man

Hi! I'm the person in charge of managing the bug bounty program, and I'd like to shed light on what happened from our end. I already apologized and explained this to @0xcrypto internally, but I believe that I should say something here to clarify what happened.

The truth here is that we were never able to fully reproduce the issue from the beginning, but struggled to close it because of the fear of missing something. Shortly after when we got back to the reporter for the last time, saying that we'll find a resolution, is when we were convinced that we were not able to reproduce it. Around that time we received a similar OAuth-related report. Unfortunately, this led to an internal mix-up, making us believe that we had addressed and communicated the resolution.

Because of the way I have notifications set up, I missed the follow-ups, and the issue stayed in Triage state indefinitely without receiving updates. This is by no means an excuse about the lack of updates, about which I'm deeply sorry. I've been a bug bounty hunter for many years and understand how frustrating it is to wait for updates from companies.

Finally, I'd like to reassure y'all that the security of our customers is of the utmost importance to us, and everything we say in our security page is true.

The prevailing belief is that the coins that Satoshi mined are impossible to transfer because Satoshi either never had the private keys, discarded them, or is dead without disclosing them to anyone. A transfer of any amount would invalidate that belief.

No. There is a clear demand for a route here that has not been met. There is no demand for paving over the world.
That's absolutely true, but the direction in which public policy fails the will of the govern is predictable. Reforma that hurt a few people a lot, and help most people a little, tend to fail in politics. Things like tobacco legislation are minor miracles in a long line of lobbyists winning. So the way in which the US government will keep failing to match the will of the governed here is, if anything, towards the insiders that are ruined by anything resembling health care efficiency.

I suspect that the disruption will come outside of the regulatory realm: As prices go high enough it's cheaper to get the same treatment in Mexico, or have an AI be your primary care provider, the US system will fall. It will not be this year, and probably not this decade, but eventually such level of waste crashes big.
