100-200k seems like a perfectly reasonable salary for someone working in the non-profit sector in a high-level management capacity, assuming there is some need for these types of skills, which there certainly are for many non-profits. Presu

What does it matter whether it came from an assistant or not? Natural language is likely the preferred search input method for kids under a certain age, who cannot yet type fluently. My kids formulate very long, complex queries verbally. Th

I fall into (3) but not for the reason you mentioned. "Privacy" is largely an industrial age phenomenon and practically speaking we can never go back. I think we need new constructs to talk productively about issues like this and

Lawyers generally, especially older lawyers. The federal government spends a chunk on WP licenses. My wife is still forced to use it occasionally, her boss refuses to switch away.

Indeed, and just saying “physical illness” is pretty meaningless. Beyond that though, there’s sadly a lot more empirical data and practices behind medicine than psychology/psychiatry. You go to a doctor, you can get a diagnosis and eff

Mental illness is one - very modern - modality for why one may want to do any number of seemingly irrational things. I think that a blanket lumping of everything into the bucket of "mental illness" is problematic for a few reasons

What cultural foundation? Racism? Misogyny? Because we’ve always been an inclusive, multi-cultural society, and the US has, at least over the last 75 years or so, been viewed as something of an anti-culture beyond its cultural elements impo

That was my experience too. I mostly got the idea but still failed to anticipate what would happen when I made the shape move in some particular way. We don’t think in 4D and it’s just not easy.

Keep in mind that the purchase of crypto in the US could be a taxable event, and the sell or transfer of it almost certainly is. I would look very closely at the Keybase/Stellar reporting tools and your tax situation to assess the impa

For OP’s personal projects? Meh, it works but will sometimes cause you problems. For a team of 10+ software devs? Disaster!

The assumption that SDCs are going to completely overtake the market is a huge one and is unwarranted. This puts all the cost of building and maintaining a fleet on Waymo, or whoever is first to market. While it cuts out the cost of a human

Indeed. Somehow this doesn’t occur to people though when they get behind the wheel of a 3000lb death machine and decide to start looking at their phone. I personally find the prospect terrifying.

Sure. But let’s say the chance of losing your license is a hundred times more likely than that of committing vehicular homicide, and the effective penalty for a homicide is 10 times worse than that for losing your license, you should be 10x

For many, many people in the US, a suspended license means loss of your job, which in turn will lead to loss of all other assets you may tentatively possess, possible dissolution of your family, etc. In terms of personal impact weighted by

I feel like the course title is somewhat tongue in cheek, the offering looks perfectly reasonable for a humanities course. It’s not like someone is going to devote an entire department to angry white male studies... ...unless someone thinks

I find it curious and saddening that this is becoming an expectation. Someone voluntarily publishes something for the world to see - they are certainly within their rights to issue a retraction, but they have long since relinquished control

People have memories too you know. Why should someone’s close associates be the only ones with insight into a person’s true character? People can change a lot in 10 years, so whatever criticism is levied against them may no longer be applic

That concern is somewhat orthogonal to the utility of a package manager itself. If you are using OSS in any way you need to pick and choose what you take on as a dependency. The package manager solves problems like distribution, dependency
