Authenticity is important. Praising effort because you read it improves outcomes, even if you internally don’t think it’s praiseworthy, would be inauthentic and eventually degrade your relationship in my opinion. However I’ve been amazed by my daughter for multiple reasons simultaneously. I’ve seen her solve a problem and thought to myself “wow she is so clever and persistent”, then mainly focus on one of those aspects when discussing it later.
Every parent thinks their kid is some kind of genius. It's a universal instinct that makes kids get more praise then they actually deserve.
Run with it. If nature makes you feel that way then "more praise then she actually deserves" is a valid method. Maybe she actually deserves it, but most likely she is average and you're just playing out what every average parent feels.
Cali EDD is a joke. I never received my paid family leave money after my daughter was born last year. Their phone lines are always full, and they don’t respond to email.
Yes the go version takes way longer materialize our configs compared at my work compared to sJsonnet (from Databricks). The first time you switch it adds (or removes? I forget) a bunch of newlines at the end of files which is annoying to handle in git but otherwise it’s faster and the same.
I do agree with you that the bank will likely not collapse with help from the big banks. But business wise it is not in a great position with lots of low interest rate loans. Still, I would expect some recovery in the stock price.
> Hoffman recognizes the drawbacks of requiring parents to purchase airplane tickets for their youngsters. The main concern is that families will not be able to afford the airfare and will resort to driving, a more perilous mode of transportation.
>“If they travel by car instead, they will actually be putting themselves at a significantly greater risk, because car crashes are so much more common than airplane incidents, whether it’s a crash or turbulence,”
that analysis they did sounds kind of silly, since at 2 years and 1 day you’re paying full boat anyway.
The logical conclusion of their assessment: at 2y1d people can afford the fare so fly but 2 days before that they couldn’t so would drive instead? The argument doesn’t actually bear weight.
Such arbitrary decisions are part of our day to day life. This is not new.
You can vote at 18. Why not 19, why not 18.1?
You can drink at 21, why not 18, why not 20.5?
When buying tickets, there are tickets for children and senior. When buying food, there is senior discount - in some places it is for age 55, some places for 60, well actually the numbers could be anything from 50-67 (starting age).
We draw such arbitrary boundaries every day. They could be based on statistics, or marketing, but they are part of life.
For airlines, I presume at some age, the weight/space taken starts becoming a factor, so they likely picked 2 year as a boundary in this case.
I agree with all that. But I still think if they move the free passenger bar from 2y to 0y it will be an undetectable change in the number of flights booked
Hundreds of millions and billions of dollars of sales are driven by the clout of badges on social media. That's where we are now. Small one off ethical problems become social problems when they aren't one-off and then become legal problems.
Of course it is up to consumer, investor, vendors to be more discerning. Of course, they aren't. So it's not a legal problem, right now, it is a social problem and that is being addressed by reporters and the platforms. That's where we are. It is completely congruent for ProPublica to be involved at this stage.
> In response to information provided by ProPublica and the findings of its own investigation, Meta has so far removed fraudulently applied verification badges from more than 300 Instagram profiles, and continues to review accounts. That includes the accounts of Mike Vazquez and Lexie Salameh, two stars of the MTV reality show “Siesta Key.” Rather than get verified for their TV work, they were falsely branded online as musicians in order to receive verification. They lost their badges approximately two weeks ago and did not respond to requests for comment.
ProPublica "journalists" Craig Silverman and Bianca Fortis are total douchebags for doing this and bragging about it.
For all intents and purposes, the MTV stars are public figures and have visibility. This is such a lame move by ProPublica to attack the brand of these folks, which is what they derive their income from.
I feel like so much of this industry has turned to attention and drama seeking. This isn't journalism. This is throwing stones and complaining and trying to get clicks for it.
They did participate in a fraudulent scheme to obtain the badges. If they had been verified for their real accomplishments they would still have it.
Consider the following lame analogy:
A man who has been working as a programmer for 30 years has no diploma because he is self taught. He is having trouble finding a new position because for some reason companies are asking for a degree in a related field. He decides to buy one from a sketchy random university. People find out about the scheme and the diploma is invalidated. Should he be able to keep it because he probably knows everything he would be taught at university?
And some people trust it without a second thought. This past New Years there was a huge snow storm in the Tahoe area, many roads were closed, and clueless Bay Area people were following google maps directions around the closures into unmaintained mountain roads in a huge blizzard.
even in the days of paper maps people would drive to tahoe utterly unprepared. Much as I dislike Google I don't think they can be blamed for clueless Bay Area people.
My wife was using fetus as her first guess throughout most of her pregnancy, in honor of the fetus. Baby is 1 month old now, and the first guess preference has changed. Too bad this word didn’t come earlier, she would have got it first guess!
Easier said than done. Internships are almost exclusively full-time positions which my masters-program itself already is. So that would drag everything out even further. Not to mention the terribly low wages for interns over here.
When I interviewed at Google recently, the behavioral interviewer was a white guy. The four algorithmic interviewers were one Indian and three Chinese nationals.
