No. I was aware during my CS undergrad that I wasn't learning how to be a software engineer. I was learning the theories of computation from professional computer scientists. There were plenty of warnings on HN and the rest of the Web

It seems like she took the ISA, then took out a personal loan to cover external expenses of taking the course. This is unfortunate, but it doesn't look like it's Bloom's fault.

Everyone still has to jump through the Leetcode/whiteboard/design hoops to get in the door. My impression from working with bootcamp grads is that they are well-prepared for this trial, better than CS grads. The bootcamps don&#x27

Hot take: All of the information in boot camps is available online for free, and people who aren't willing to search for it and self-learn have a harder time breaking into the industry. Any programming job requires solving new problems

A few points: 1. I'm surprised Bloom doesn't have an arbitration clause. 2. Bloom doesn't say what percentage of privates[a] get a job afterwards. I can't imagine any lawyer would put a guarantee in the contract. 3. Bloo

A free market of treatment options is feasible, but not a free market of insurance coverage. It's not really insurance if the unfortunate event is guaranteed to occur (has anyone in history been documented as never falling I'll?).

Everything seems to get framed morally instead of economically. By economically I don't mean with classism or monetarily, but game theoretic cause and effect. All proposals must be found to be overwhelmingly righteous before they can b

This is a good point. I tried to use it in the more popular sense of "becoming over-accommodating to forces that are inherently against your interests," but there is an interesting psychological lens to view that argument from. My

Find the equilibrium: endless money, high male to female ratio, focus on career over family, a history of "free love", and a geographic concentration of open-mindedness.

The Bowery can be even worse then Market Street at times. There have been a couple of serial killers targeting rough sleepers over the last few years. The day to day experience of the Bowery is much safer than Market Street though because N

This is exactly what I'm talking about: In my city we reserve good manners for those who aren't commiting crimes upon us!

My theory is San Francisco evangelists have Stockholm syndrome. I stayed on Market St. last summer: Saw two car break-ins before I even got a chance to park at the hotel, got harassed by tweakers every time I stepped outside, watched 3 shop

I once worked at a place that secretly red teamed it's employees with phishing emails. I diligently reported them all in public channels, unaware I was being duped, and received no response or promise to block the domains. Eventually I

In his defense, there are few things more punk than disdain for derivatives and veneration for originality and progenitors. Punks are a conservative bunch. They're still playing the same records from 50 years ago like they came out tod

In the middle class where women graduate college at twice the rate as men, move to big cities for a lucrative career, and delay childbirth until their 30s, women are easily outpacing men in earnings.

Is there any measure San Francisco is improving on?

That Silicon Valley is down the road from San Francisco is the simplest explanation. The computer revolution and the psychedelic revolution happened almost concurrently in nearly the same place. N+1 Magazine had a great article called Googl

PiHKAL by Alexander and Ann Shulgin is on its face a book about love and chemistry. Taken together it becomes more of a treatise on how psychopharmacology is a method of personal and sociological analysis. Drug use becomes a psychological t

Applying this argument to the US dollar when it was gaining value relative to many other currencies before the current inflationary spat is illustrative. Probably all of us held USD during that time, but that act in itself wasn't produ

What's more decentralized than being able to fork an open source blockchain solely on the basis of majority consensus? The hullabaloo over the DAO fork arises because decentralization is conflated with fairness. Was the fork fair? Mayb

The general consensus seems to be that while both crypto and the Web share this problem, the Web is ultimately redeemable while crypto should be nuked from orbit. It's an interesting contradiction in public opinion, probably stemming f

This is like saying Heartbleed is proof the Web will never work. You can't even guarantee secure connections! What will happen when the spy agencies start using these?! Decentralization isn't proof a system has no bugs, it's

It's a bit of a misnomer. Web2 was supposed to be a utopian version of the open Web where all data was available via API, and the noble task was to connect all this data with programs until all information was available to the world. W

Some platforms like Ethereum are completely decentralized. You forfeit some of this decentralization bit by bit when using MetaMask, OpenSea or Alchemy, but the platform itself is still decentralized. The Web is completely decentralized, by
