I'm confused on who or what misled you to believe that imposter syndrome only exists within the CS bubble. It's a human phenomenon. Sometimes it is purposefully fueled by junior developers being talked down to be senior developers who at best feel threatened of being exposed (do I really deserve to make double what a junior dev makes?) or at worst are simply misanthropic. Many of these senior developers are surely skilled at walking the DOM but due to their toxic attitude must be managed with kid gloves like so: https://hbr.org/2016/10/how-to-manage-a-toxic-employee

The quick & dirty solution here would be to disable comments if children are detected

Based on the article, the scan basically measures how much you are using muscle-memory.

I am not an expert. But I'm inclined to believe that a brain scan taking while performing programming tasks would mostly measure how good of a touch-typist you are.

Sorry but when has this happened? Which government?

Especially given the recent launch of the iMac Pro, I don't think we can say this definitively until we see the next release of the Macbook Pro.

They know exactly what they are doing. They are raising massive funds in an extremely short period of time with no direct obligation to provide returns to shareholders.

“Of the five sources of cost estimated per mile (Insurance, Maintenance, Repairs, Fuel and Depreciation), approximately 40% of costs are attributable to Insurance, Maintenance and Repairs, 40% to fuel expenses, and 20% to depreciation.”

I don’t understand how insurance is a relevant cost. Insurance is required to legally operate a vehicle - this is something that they must have for their personal vehicle regardless of whether or not they are driving for Uber or Lyft. The only way this is a relevant cost is if they own their vehicle for the sole purpose of Uber or Lyft driving. I have to imagine that this is usually not the case.

My thoughts exactly. This is so unbelievably bone-headed.

I want to believe that this was slipped in by a small rogue group within FSL, and that its not something everyone approved of...

Agreed. This is probably my biggest gripe with SV tech companies. They seem to genuinely believe that there is no natural intersection between tech / software innovation and ethics. I would love to see a law similar to GDPR come to the US for this very reason...

I'm interested in hearing more about this. Is it common for religion to be discussed in the workplace in Texas?

Forgive me, but I don't think that your comparison holds any water. I don't think anyone would begin a salary negotiation by comparing their co-workers to a group that committed the most horrific genocide in human history.

It's simply a cheap tactic that is used in an attempt to de-legitimize opposing viewpoints and end conversations.

Is this implying that cryptocurrencies have not evolved over that time period? I think you know that this is false.

Have you ever seen a car try to go through a yellow light, it turns red just a hair too soon, and the car decides to hit the breaks. Often times the car ends up well into the intersection and they have to back up, forcing the cars behind them to do so as well. I’m not defending the action of that driver who ends up in the intersection - they are obviously in the wrong. However, having a car stopped in the middle of the intersection is a dangerous situation, the other human drivers recognize that and reluctantly back up.

Driverless software must recognize situations like this and adapt in order to win the future. We will not go from manually operated cars to 100% driverless cars overnight. They will have to prove their worth and/or superiority alongside human drivers for a long time.

I think your point would be better served with some elaboration. It seems that you are claiming that you know (based on one paragraph) what that poster values and he doesn't. I don't think I need to explain why that is absurd.

This will happen within 15-20 years? I don't think so. Maybe the self-driving tech will be there, but the infrastructure overhaul required to support these "high speed trains" would be massive and produce traffic delays in the existing system. Not to mention the cost of testing this at production-scale.
