> At least this firmly puts to rest the myth that taxes are somehow proportional to the government services you use. You are confusing "service fees" with taxes. There are various tax regimes. Very few of them are…
Prior to the 2016 US election I heard with complete denial that the presidency is a reflection of the sum of our culture. I was wrong.
This makes me wonder, what if there's actually a narcissism crisis disguised as a mental health crisis?
> So we are probably just one of the first. We don't really have any way to know that. Considering that there may be as many stars in the sky as grains of sand on Earth, there are many many unknowns. For another example…
> Russian corruption doesn't generally touch Western governments - the atmosphere is too hostile to it. Some recent parts of the government welcome the corruption.…
40mg is a huge dose, no?
I know someone who's had success stopping an in-progress visual migraine with low dose psilocybin. They tried it based on some published research. Here's one such study. https://n.neurology.org/content/66/12/1920
The base proportion to the height. Two bricks wide has a 2x wider base.
With python I'd decompose that one-liner into several variables for readability. That probably ends up using more memory than it would otherwise but I generally don't work on systems where that matters much. Scala was…
> Apple isn't even a person Legally, that pile of paperwork gives the Apple corporation some rights of a person. Obviously it is not a living, breathing person in the biological sense. But it is treated as one from a…
I'll second this too. As a former manager told me, figure out how to scale yourself. Making the end to end development lifestyle easy for peers and partner teams is one way to do that. It could just as easily be called…
Sounds like you are on the right track. A non-technical benefit is there won't be so much context to keep in your head when triaging data issues in the future. A database table is very similar to the separation of…
It is important, but when the shift to cheap compute and storage hit an inflection point it became possible to build out wide tables that combine the characteristics of facts and dimensions, and real data modeling took…
Just don't tie yourself together by rope while on mountains. One goes down, everyone goes down. Deep Survival is a great read. I picked that up from it. Human infants will die without physical touch. We are social…
No, that's crypto. And some parts of AI.
I use an unscientific rule of thumb that 10-100x scaling is about the most to plan for except for exceptional cases. Anything beyond that ends up with overcomplicated bloat for a "tomorrow" problem. Being able to handle…
Or with enough laws, every law can be applied selectively
Some business area pivots could be into user analytics or marketing analytics. Product management even. Data engineering could be another path to explore. I'd view your sister-in-law's certification course as more of a…
Sadly, citing off topic ChatGTP woes and reducing Americans to a broad generalization is not a sign of intelligence either.
“We are confident that, once we show what the fossil fuel companies knew about global warming and when, and what they did to deny, delay and deceive the public, the jury will not let the fossil fuel companies get away…
Shop during non-business hours? I've found that I can shop during business hours fine. And if not during business hours I can shop for what I need in the evenings before stores close. It comes down to time management.…
> Not sure what the point is there. > it's Amazon and its ilk that allow people to be at home all the time, not out running errands. I was addressing that line
I've started enjoying in-person shopping more lately. It's a way to get out of my WFH bubble and feel that I can get in and out of the stores in about the same time as shopping online with Amazon. I'd argue that Amazon…
I am grateful for a remote job. Sometimes being at home for too long I get stir crazy and if I plan my day well I can schedule in time for breaks and walks and feel better. If I had a 45+ minute commute each way again…
I got the joke but don't see the humor because it perpetuates outdated thinking about the war on drugs. There's a lot of good science and research coming back around for psychedelics and it'd be a shame for that to get…
