This only provides a new means of defecating in or on e-scooters?

I think anyone who's gone through and completed an intensive collegiate CS program can strongly attest to this.

I can also relate this research to quality / seemingly-well-meaning managers I've had over the past few years. Managers who seem in control never pass off the stress of deadlines or crunch to engineers - longer time thinking about things regardless of difficulty result in better code and fewer potential land-mines down the road (even in startups). As soon as you deviate from that or start putting the pressure on engineers to crunch for a deadline you're asking for high-turnover and bad code that WILL cause issues down the line (many engineers also see this as a direct attack on their ability to uphold their quality of work).

As someone on the sidelines I can confirm that dev boards / most Xilinx products seem to have markedly hire price tags than comparable products from competitors...

Not that bad - intel already has an arguably strong networking department and recently purchased Altera for their FPGA tech. This is why above comments mention the benefits of nVidia purchasing Xilinx - one of the only other serious producers of cutting edge FPGA hardware - which happens to be what makes or breaks most high-throughput networking tech.

Why would you not want passive income if you had the means to attempt to or outright realize these kinds of income sources?

This article wreaks of a bizarre misdirected form of moral superiority and relativism....

Seems like every blockchain should have a baked in “genesis” procedure and “felling” procedure (yep, a logging term since you’re “severing” the Merkle tree) to tie up all sources of new transactions and stumping or “tarring” the blockchain. Sureley there’s fantastic logging vernacular to draw from to name the period between the start of a “felling” and the resultant stump.

Can't agree more. Your point is also applicable to people who delude themselves into believing an "off-grid" or "homestead" lifestyle is less burdensome to the environment or lends to a less consumerist way of life...

The only way to keep rents this low in the face of rising demand is public housing that is rented out below market rates to low income tenants, or via a lottery.

Except for the fact that poor people aren't the ones driving up demand or prices for decent housing...

Oh man, I've been wanting to pick one of those routers up for some time. What did licensing cost you for your SRX 320?

I agree, I think the fact that we laude those with money or power on a pedestal based on immutable attributes is a problem.

Just as many imply money with power and evil - but seem to make passes for their favorite actors or celebrities.

I think we'd be in a better place if we could accept as a culture that gluttony in money and power without reason, irregardless of what someone thinks is "enough" money, should be met with criticism agnostic of race, gender, etc.

My only caveat is for people to assume that anyone with more money than them - moreover anyone who owns a business is "evil" by design. This seems to be one the more present falsehoods of Hollywood as of late. IMO, to take the potential gains out of act of taking risk to build something is wholly un-american. I think making more public those who fail in business or make huge sacrifices more present in media would help this. I only bring this up because the general public seems to tie certain attributes to people they're "okay" with being successful and others who they deem evil just because popular media told them those people don't "deserve" their success or wealth. Et al - the farmer in Iowa or small business owner in Chicago making $250k +.

This is terrifying, if rskelton is OP I'm truly sorry you had to deal with this POS.

Personal favorite of your updates is "found his hair gel in the car".

You know you're #winning in life if you date 21yr old college girls in your late thirties, use hair gel and still live with your parents - while portraying yourself a "Attorney for the Streets ™️" (full stop with a ".law" tld).

Even Charlie Sheen would shake his head at this loser!

Hope your Corvette is back to it's former glory!

Can we filter posts like this please...

This is bordering on religious propaganda...

"Disinformation" still seems to be a convenient and insidious vague way of describing "indiscriminate" bias... that also gives Google a free pass to listen and peak at anything going through their systems to "correct" behavior they deem misinformative.

This title seems to amply describe most of the people I met while living in the Bay Area - both around the Peninsula (MTV ~ Los Altos) where I lived and in SF.

I completely disagree - seems like pricing insurance for self driving vehicles competitively would be a great way to ensure more people transition to self driving vehicles rather than conventional vehicles.

doing work != measurable output

Not to mention that the definition of what work, productivity or deliverables is varies vastly from company to company or industry to industry.

Not working for an entire day per week or having sporadic / limited hours of operation could also end up being a huge pain for a client or anyone not in your company you may be working with.

I'm definitely a proponent of the sentiment of this article, however, I can confirm that working with a remote team in another country where nobody seemed to work more than 25hrs per week on their technical team was annoying as hell. Not only did this make solving problems harder, they also had notably lower productivity and output of meaningful contributions...

haha. haha.

IR reflective rope / tag-line seems novel enough. Also seems like a ballistic foam "munition" could also likely work.

Some of these ideas are half-baked but interesting nonetheless.

IMO, any response to this question is tightly associated with specific contexts of your current workspace and only gets more complicated when considering what kind of company you work at / where your current goals for the next 2-5 years stand.

You want to maintain progress and improve your output, but not at the cost of compensation or burnout. This is very hard to answer without those contexts.

From your post I think you're going about this the wrong way. External acts like meditating or "optimizing time" are easy ways to burn yourself out doing stupid things and end up flat out not enjoying your life. I tried this during a gap year I took to work at a startup in college while I was considering dropping out and one other time after I'd graduated.

Genuinely wasn't worth it.

My best simple advice is to just focus on work while you're at work or set 4hrs aside each day to really focus. Otherwise, live your life. In time if you follow these simple rules I think you'll find surprising gains.

Pls commend or DM if you'd be interested in contributing to a crow-funded campaign for this.

I'd bet we'd surpass the crowd-funding records set by Star Citizen...

Could be a whole new kind of "public justice by civic discourse for charity"? lmao

Yeah - this is exactly the root of what I'm getting at. Nobody really know's who "the government" really is. They're so bad at keeping their own secrets secure and in the right place - I sure as hell don't trust the least common denominator among gov't employees when it comes to privacy and ethics to have anywhere near the kind of observation into my life they already have from a squad car filled with feds and a telephoto lens...

I think all kinds, on both political isles, walks of life, etc. Would genuinely enjoy an official "Roast of Mark Zuckerberg" streamed live and hosted by Jeff Ross.

With all proceeds of the stream / adverts given to the EFF or CitizenLab et al.

Why would anyone ever be okay with this? Regardless of the country or soft the culture is - this should never be seen as "okay" or "passive" in any way.

I wouldn't be surprised if the store eventually meets a similar demise to the "MakerBot Store" on Newbury street in Boston did a few years back.

Really cool stuff, just nobody ever really seemed to have a reason to buy anything of reason in the store.

I bought filament for my home-built 3-d printer there maybe once - only because it was higher quality than what MicroCenter carried and was a color I'd otherwise have to order.

But obv most people in the store weren't buying $2k 3d printers - anyone who happened to already own a 3d printer knew that MakerBot's tech was garbage.

As a dumpster currently on fire that should be stoked with napalm.

"Enhanced" block explorers, i.e. with better indexing than dumping blockchain data into a time-series database have been around for years... this is nothing new. Even block explorers aided by machine learning have existed for years.

They just cost money and were primarily built with funds from the FBI and NSA which is why you'll never hear abt most of these.

Have to agree here - SV gets too caught up in its own inflated politics and self-contrived problems that are seemingly not sustainable or profitable.

NYC may have fewer "unicorns" but NYC tech generally solves actual problems with shorter term realities of profitability sans VC slush funding.

New York Beats out San Francisco to Be World's Best City.

Drops mic.

Doing this and not expecting to get fired is idiotic... Seems rhetorical to me...

A tech job isn't a right it's a privilege. Plenty of other people would love to have a tech job at <insert big tech co. here> and have enough sense to not tweet "fuck <insert big tech co. here> on twitter...
