In Singapore you need at least one director who is locally resident, a qualified company secretary, and a local business address. Companies exist that will file the paperwork and supply all that for you, but if you aren’t locally resident, you’ll pay extra for the local director. The local banks also tend to require your physical presence to open an account, although neobanks like Wise don’t.

I’m not saying it’s a terrible choice – I‘ve incorporated in Singapore and there are lots of advantages. But if you aren’t locally resident, there might be better options.
> whose membership in a given generation are almost entirely incidental?

I don't, I said they will. But they're not being entirely unreasonable. In a democracy, are the voters not ultimately accountable?

> I don't recall my mom shipping jobs to China or debasing the currency...

Sure, so long as she didn't vote for reagan. Shipping jobs to china was part of his trickle down economics. People like to claim how politicians are corrupt and liars but they/we should look at the mirror because that is what politicians are. I watched a video a few days ago where a guy explains boomer mindset at the time really well, how they conflated the mindset and trauma inherited from their parents in the great depression and world war 2 with their own prosperous era and expect their children to suffer because that was the norm they inherited. Obviously this only speaks to the majority who vote not everyone who merely existed. But all the protections and taxes that could have prevented the mess of today were removed by reagan and bush and they still today fight tooth and nail to make sure things remain screwed up. Look at how people are voting and why they are voting that way. Even trumpism can be boiled down to reverting changes so that the world that protected their interests is recreated.
Don't you still have to pay taxes in your country of citizenship?
I got PIP'd twice, passed the first and took the money the second time. Some advice from my experience.

Talk to your doc / therapist, you might be able to extend the medical leave.

Apartments may take into account your bank account balance as something that helps your approval.

If you decide to stay and do the PIP project, realize that it's really about putting a good plan together and executing to that plan, communicating when the plan has a problem etc. Try to remove ALL the ambiguities in the plan before building whatever it is and design each part at one level below where you'd normally do it to make sure you don't have things that come up that surprise you. Everything other than your PIP work doesn't matter - no CRs, no help with design specs, oncall, nothing. Make sure to get sleep and exercise - if you combine stress with lack of those two things you just make things doubly bad.

If you do pass the PIP, change orgs immediately. You need a new start without baggage (my mistake was I got re-orged under a manager that was instrumental in trying to PIP me previously, and then I stuck around to finish my current project instead of immediately leaving).
Me too, especially when the underlying root cause is siloed communication arising from founder burnout or sheer disinterest not the supply of product management thinking. It's as if you needed the subtractive design thinking of the two Bobs in office space and what you got instead was aimless growth of product like cancer.
The main reason to land ASAP after an engine shutdown is that you don't know what caused the shutdown. If one engine went out, the other has a high likelihood of going out, too. And then yes, it will sound stupid in the NTSB report...

But the "mostly waste of time" is true: you don't need all the advice, you only need the 10% (1%?) of it that's actually any good.

(The biggest hurdle is getting enough expertise that you can ignore the dross?)

The flip side of this is you can't just read advice; you have to try it (and maybe even try its opposite). Expertise is not a spectator sport.
Science that's far from politics and monetization seems generally in good shape, at least from a distance? For instance theoretic cosmology has all sorts of 'deviant' theories being widely pursued and researched in a healthy fashion. At least this correlation definitely seems to hold in reverse, where science that is closely tied to monetization or politics seems to be exceptionally intolerant, dysfunctional, and (probably consequently) also prone to absolutely abysmal replication rates.

The wikipedia article also doesn't mention that 20 year number that is most likely made up and notbased on statistic.

Also keep in mind that these are wild animals, so life expectancy rules of stone age humans would be the only thing similar (i.e high child mortality, minor injuries can kill you etc.).

Finally, the article also mentions that her tag has been replaced six times. So, there may be older tagged birds. But if they lose their tag once, they become young animals again. Which would skew any statistic.

That's what they want you to think but the historical records of the USS Voyager clearly show that some branches of dinosaurs (haplosurus I believe) did eventually evolve to develop space travelling technology (which is how they survived the Chicxulub event).

The modern version, a plea bargain, is motivated by the threat of a much more severe sentence if the defendant insists on a trial and is convicted.

This is looking at it backwards. It's not a threat of a "more severe sentence", it's a threat of a default sentence (the same sentence the accused would get if plea bargaining didn't exist at all). The plea bargain is an offer of a lesser sentence.

That distinction makes a difference.

The way the author looks at it is like how the government look at spending cuts. "Last year my budget went up 20% and this year it's only 10%, so you're cutting my spending by 10% next year??".

They do try to gouge you a bit on the bank accounts, but nothing too bad (I think a few tens of euros per month). Things have tightened down in recent years, so the "foreigners pay 0% tax" bit doesn't easily apply, you need to be a permanent resident of Cyprus to get the 0% bracket and it's hard for them to consider you a permanent resident, and it's more like 2% in the end.
No, we'll still have them, but now sites will only allow you in if you kind of suck at them.

I’ve been in product management for over 20 years, and I agree with most of what is said here. Ratios matter. CPOs end up empire building with an army of PMs. The organisation ends up with PMs owning a slice of the customer experience such as a single page, optimising CTRs on buttons, with no meaningful contribution to the product strategy or vision. It’s hard to be a Product Manager without owning a product.

Places like alexandria have a ton of history under the city that can't be explored because people live there now but what if what people were building on top of 2-3k years ago was on top of a ruins that existed millenia before their time?

That is an odd article you've linked to. There seems to be several factors in play.

1. People observe that there is a disparity in the number of pages on Wikipedia about men and women in science.
2. This leads to a number of people searching out people to write about that would redress the balance.
3. Unfortunately some are really only notable for their gender and/or ethnicity, and Wikipedia does not view that as a factor.
4. Hence, a lot of these pages get flagged for deletion.

The discrepancy is largely a reflection of our history. Until recently women and non-white ethnicities weren't in positions of scientific research. With fewer people in the field, there will be fewer notable people even if the chance of one person being notable is the same. It sounds like the "deletion of female scientists" is the system working correctly in response to people submitting articles for reasons other than refection the historical truth.

I'm sure there are cases of someone having their contribution ignored due to racism/sexism, but artifically inflating the achievements of people just to redress some perceived imbalance doesn't help. Now another person gets credit they don't deserve whilst the true talent gets buried deeper.

I guess it depends on how you're scraping. For general web crawling, simply implementing a response time based crawl back off per origin and identifying yourself appropriately in User Agent goes a long way. If you are instead automating Facebook's SPA to pull comments for analysis, then yeah you need to emulate a human, because that's not how they intend you to do it.
Thanks for the comment. And I completely agree. Incentives shapes so much of how people work. I tried to capture that in the 3rd bullet, but your comment is more on-point :)
This just made me ponder again—where does the assumption that the Internet should allow unconstrained anonymity come from, other than that’s how it used to be for some time? The real world doesn’t allow that. It’s hard to remain anonymous in the real world. The real world largely runs on identity and (identity) trust. Why should the Internet be different?
How is monetization the problem? The biggest issues with non replicable science are all in academia which is grant funded. Corporate labs don't seem to have unusually big issues with non replicable research. Obviously, add if they couldn't replicate it they can't monetize it.

> To me the simpler question is “if life didn’t originate from inorganic conditions somehow, what other explanation is there? Life came into being with the creation of the universe?”.

OK let's pretend to forget for a moment that we have no definition for "life". Here is what we know:

- tons of examples of life turning into non-life
- zero examples of non-life turning into life
- a crapton of non-life around us

Based purely on that evidence what do you think is more likely: that non-life magically converts to life or, idk, how about it started with life and all that non-life you see is formerly life?
Yeah CSS is a complete nightmare. Nothing works and you never know why. The only thing you can do is to randomly change attruibutes randomly until something happens. I remember working on a simple website and i had to do a gradient banner. The gradient was relatively simple but the true challenge was making it stretch edge to edge. No matter what i did there was always a little bit of padding or the layout was completely off. I don't even remember how i solved it.

This doesn't make sense. reCAPTCHA certainly does what it says on the tin. But the way it does it has almost nothing to do with the challenge the human sees. It's all behavioral analytics, including leveraging Google's collected data to determine how likely a user is a bot before they even load the page.

I'm not denying reCAPTCHA is a source of training data for Google -- surely there's no particular reason that every single reCAPTCHA V2 challenge is about identifying traffic objects, and it's not like Google is building a self-driving AI or anything.

But that's the business model, not the core feature.

And, that training data isn't just given to the developers of captcha solving bots.

I loved those screenshots from my youth, but my smile quickly faded when each of the "bad stuff" Microsoft used to do back then are currently embedded into every aspect of our digital landscape by ... Google, of course!

I would love to visit midway atoll. Im not big into birds but the sheer amount of wildlife on that small place is mesmerizing. I have spent more than one afternoon moving around on google street view across the island and sharing that fascination with friends. Its also one of my life goals to visit in person mostly just because at this point this place seems unreal, dream-like to me. Unfortunately from what i found for me as a non-US resident, non-researcher it seems to be near impossible to be allowed there, which is great for the preservation of the eco system but also unfortunate for me.

Different people perform best in different circumstances. No simplistic, single "how to be a success" formula will work for everyone.

My best approach to things is "jump in the swamp and thrash wildly," more often than not. The process is likely to look ugly to bystanders, and include a lot of splash and noise that doesn't obviously advance progress.

Others might prefer the more considered approach, with advance plans, co-ordination checkpoints, well defined metrics and signposts placed ahead of the work along the route, so that they know where they're at, and where they're going, all the time.

I don't say they're wrong; its just that approach doesn't work as well for me. Those for whom it does work might feel they'd drown trying to do things my way. That without the preparation of prior study, they'd drop under the surface with a bloop never to be seen again.

There's reasons one approach might be better than the other in a given moment: Are we hunting alligator for dinner tonight, or are we seeking to build a bridge over the swamp without disturbing potential piranha under the surface?

Many people simply enjoy the observation part of scholarship, without ever reaching the level of inspiration that would lead them to do something with the knowledge they've gained through it. Nothing wrong with that; especially when you don't have a goal you burn for. Unfortunately I feel our educational traditions have come to value that for itself. Actual passion is unseemly at best.
That is still one of the most interesting reverse engineering blog posts ever. In the 80's I was pretty good at this stuff, especially figuring out various over-the-wire protocols to get hardware to do stuff that it wasn't intended to do. But this is on an entirely different level.
> The problem is not the lack of a standard, it is that Glibc does not follow the standard and is itself the de facto choice for desktop Linux. Applications that assume Glibc may not work on other implementations ( like MUSL ).

That's incorrect Glibc does follow the relevant standards, you can simply restrict yourself to only use POSIX and C11, it's just that program authors find the glibc-extensions convenient enough to use them over just the bare standard.

That said, some of the other libraries don't even claim to support the relevant standards, e.g. Bionic is not even fully POSIX compliant. So an application that assumes MUSL (which btw, also implements glibc, BSD and Linux extensions), can't use Bionic as a drop in replacement (not sure about Relibc).
If you're running on GPU then it would need to be wired, and wired file-backed pages do count as process memory and have to physically fit in DRAM.

Yes, that was his other point, politically charged topics are bound to create bad science. So things related to poverty, intelligence, gender, race, education etc.
You are missing the part that ART, Swift/Objective-C runtime, and stuff like Gran Central Dispatch also take part in the decision process.

So the schedulers can decide in a more transparent way what runs where, specially on Android side, where the on-device JIT/AOT compilers are part of the loop.

Additionally, there is more effort on having the toolchains explore SIMD capabilities, where on C and C++ level one is expected to write that code explicilty.

Yes, auto-vectorization isn't as good as writing the code explicitly, however the latter implies that only a niche set of developers actually care to write any of it.

Hence why frameworks like Accelerate exist, even if a JIT isn't part of the picture, the framework takes the best path depending on available hardware.

Likewise higher level managed frameworks offer a better distribution between the parallel processing taking part across CPU, GPU or NPU, which again on classical UNIX/Win32 in C and C++, have to be explicility programmed for.

Such higher level frameworks can of course also be provided in such languages, e.g. CUDA and SYCL, howver then we start discussing about programmer culture to adopt such kind of tooling in classical LOB applications.
It makes a difference in that one way is a useful psychological manipulation and one is not.

Given that 97% of convictions are based on plea bargains, why would you imagine that sentencing is calibrated based on the 3% jury trials? There are obvious political incentives for this not to be the case, given how much voters are annoyed by convicts getting off lightly.

Also, the main point is that confessions based on threats are much poorer evidence of guilt than a proper trial.
That is already the case. On some questions you can't answer the correct answer, but have to guess what most other would answer.
