I'm pretty sure most people do indeed rent less than they buy. It's easy to justify buying larger. You might be thinking about starting a family. You're definitely thinking about being there for a long time. Renting, on the other hand, can feel temporary. If you outgrow it, it's easy to move. Dumping extra money into a home you own also feels a bit more like investing, because the additional square footage will appreciate even if you don't need it. Meanwhile buying a rental bigger than you need mostly feels like wasted money.

I'd be interested in seeing stats, but I bet the claim that renters choose smaller spaces (even after adjusting for income) holds up.

So to clarify for those not in the know, he does not care about people's privacy, and is happy to build companies that want to spy on your social activities, and sell the surveillance capability to the us govt.
I'm sure they can hire people for those salaries, but they're almost certainly not getting the best people. I know of multiple companies offering remote work with salaries that are $50k+ more than what Corgibytes offers. They might very well not be looking for the best though.

I do appreciate them being upfront though. I wish all employers would be so clear about their salary ranges.

It's especially low because they're basically hiring consultants. The going rate for a senior contract developer is well over $100/hr, which would be $200k a year if you consider their purported work schedule.
People who know cryptography would not be participating. However I think this is deliberately made to look stupid (complete with over-the-top Russian sounding phraseology to imply these are those famous ex-KGB hackers) to attract irrational but wealthy entities -- probably governments and their spy agencies. They have large sums of money to play with.

I can see perhaps Iran in a desperate attempt to exact revenge for their centrifuge plant being hacked, throwing few hundred thousands at them, just on small chance this would yield something.
A large portion of the high wages are coming out of sustainable companies, so I don't think you can blame this on startups. Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. are all outpaying Canada's tech sector by huge margins yet somehow make a profit.
They'd have no reason to honor that promise anyway, and a bidder should have no expectation that they would.
Nifty! Did not know that.

Lots of good suggestions on the list. I would add a few (maybe advanced ones) that I don't think I saw:

* write a device driver for a real or virtual device; hook into the various kernel virtual filesystems that allow userspace interaction.

* write a small network stack (for example a raw protocol on top of ethernet).

* add a scheduling algorithm or mess with an existing one; analyze its performance impact.

Lots of new-to-me tools in that list were interesting. Back in my day, we had to use a serial port console, and if we were fancy we would set it up so that you could remotely cycle the computer's power when it hung up (uphill both ways in the snow).

How sure of that are you? I don't have a lot of data points, but 3.5 years of experience got me a 270k offer from Google. I find it hard to believe it was _that_ much higher than average.
I found here the best combination. I am not using redux.

Mobx makes many tasks much easier and pragmatic. Redux is more on rhe immutable no side-effects site but will need more boilerplate for even small things.
I'm not actually sure how they had their spreadsheets set up, probably had a bunch of conditional formatting setup to highlight pipeline hazards, along with formulas to show total and wasted cycles counts.

Both Architectures had exposed pipelines, meaning the result of an operation would take a few cycles to show up in the destination register and some operations would take longer than others. You might have to insert a bunch of NOPs to make sure the data would be ready for the next instruction that needed it. Both Architectures were also dual issue, meaning two completely independent operations, operating on completely independent registers would be manually packed into a single instruction by the programmer. There also would be restrictions on which types of instructions could go in each half of the instruction, if you didn't have an instruction, you have to put a NOP there.

I'm pretty sure Sony liked the spreadsheets because it forced the programmer to see where all the NOPs were. The programmer would be expected to refactor things and manually unroll loops until all the NOPs were filled with useful instructions and peak performance was reached.
Berkshire Hathaway increases Apple position to $1.46B
I see. I'd thought an investment was a separate and distinct thing compared to an asset, with the intention of having a higher rate of return compared to ordinary stuff.

Since an investment is simply a place to put money, there really is no distinction. Seems odd, but I suppose I can accept that as a common understanding.
Why is Google launching multiple apps with similar functionalities?

They already had Hangouts, they recently launched a group sharing app "Spaces". And now a new video calling app "Duo". They also have an app "Allo" which is another chatting platform.

I am not complaining or anything, I am just curious about what are they planning to do with their old apps? i.e. Hangouts?
Fraud Prevention with CleanTalk
Equation group is the advanced malware outfit that is suspected to be NSA. The name was given by the group at kaspersky who put the report together. A brief summary is found in the linked PDF [0].

False flag is possible, but it's not unreasonable to think that these were uncaught mistakes, just ones that have no functional effect. The Mandiant APT1 report shows a similar pattern of bread crumbs, though in that case they felt more intentional (ego flourishes) to me.

As to your final question, that field is reverse engineering. If you're looking for tools, IDA Pro is a very powerful disassembler.

Oh yeah, the golden rule for quick hacks is NEVER show them to someone non-technical, especially someone non-technical who's in your chain of command.

I learned that one after mocking up some UI screens using VB6 and then having to explain over and over again that no, just because we showed you some buttons on a page doesn't mean that the program (which had to be a Java applet, mind you) was "almost done."
IIRC PG's main argument was that macros were so powerful he could write stuff to write features vs writing features directly. Hence being super fast compared to competition.

Even if that was accurate, I would guess with modern web apps or UIs there's gonna be a large overhead that might wipe out any benefit. Using F# in a live app, for instance -- sure, the main parts are nicer, shorter. And yes, it makes me feel sane. But compared to the overall effort a company needs, I'm not sure it matters in most cases.
I'm not the biggest fan of the algorithm-theory centric hiring regime, but "implement a red black tree" is a straw man. Even the most CSy interviews are at the level of contiguous vs. linked data structures, binary trees, and recursion, not at the level of very specific algorithms with intricate details like red black trees.

Fair to say, but I believe they were testing the waters again and again just to find a venue that was favorable, undermining whatever notion the original commenter was attempting to conjure about the definitive nature of legality here.

If the legality of a case like this is also supposed as a proxy for the (universal) morality of the verdict and the arguments Thiel likes to make about Gawker's journalistic sins it certainly seems like a federal suit would have been a more appropriate arena for proving the point.
I suspect the word "masturbation" triggers a spam filter that kills the comment containing it. If I'm right this comment will be dead :)

Historically both real estate prices and interest rates are procyclical. Central banks raise rates when inflation becomes too fast (which is closely correlated to house price appreciation).

But of course you can sometimes have a local economic decline while the currency area is experiencing overheating and high inflation.
none of this resonates with me at all
I'm a former NASA Engineer, Systems Engineer, and Project Manager (via JPL). If you're making the assertion that a Systems Engineer exhibits some of the leadership responsibilities as that of a traditional Project Manager, then I'd agree. If not, then I'd recommend you find an expert Systems Engineer (or CogE or Principal Scientist or even your Line Manager) in your field and ask him/her to mentor you. You could be missing much of the experience.

>> People saying it's bad to shoot black people running away from police who aren't armed?

>I don't know where you have read about these supposedly universal human rights, please point me to a link.

Shooting fleeing people in the back is not okay, unless there is some imminent danger. I don't know of one is not an adequate answer, imho. The reason cops seems to shoot black teenagers who run away, and no so many white teenagers, is in my opinion due to a fear of those blacks.

>> Women should get equal pay for equal work, and have control over their own bodies?
>Yes, what makes you believe that this is not the case? Please look up some statistics about labour participation by gender. You'll find that much less women work full time jobs than men do, so they obviously will earn less. They also tend to not pursue careers in high paying industries.

Sure, some of it is women taking time off to have families. Don't we want that to be an option? Anyway, this article says you women (who are probably less likely to have taken time off than older women who had more time to have a family) are only suffering 7% lower wages. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/04/14/on-equal-pay...

Hillary did something stupid, but it was something stupid that the last few sec of states did too. The others didn't get investigated by congress multiple times. That's the difference, she did some stupid shit like others, but the dems didn't spend years trying to find something bad after that. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2016/03/07/state-dept-concludes..., including Colin Powell. I really hate that she did that, and I supported someone else in the primary. But now she's running against a truly evil, scary character, and there's just no choice.

My hope would be new legislation that says all people, including secs of state will lose their security clearance if they use private email. They all want to do it to hide it from prying eyes, but I do hate it.

Is this using the same parts underneath as hangouts?
You seem now to be talking about something different than me. I'm referring to your notion that "better, sterner discipline" will help. It won't.

That approach quickly plateaus. Then more discipline harms improvement because people just start covering up mistakes to avoid punishment. In addition to being covered in the book on air safety I already mentioned, your "beatings will continue" theory is basically why Detroit spent decades trying and failing to make cars as reliable as Toyota's. This was true even when Toyota went to great lengths to teach GM how to do it.

That experience was covered engagingly in This American Life's episode NUMMI:

I know it's very expensive relative to the rest of the US, but:

1) It's way cheaper than Palo Alto (where a 3br is probably $2m).

2) This would be affordable in the bay area for many couples, especially when at least one person is an engineer.
Have they announced when it will be discontinued?
It was written in a constructive way, not as a threat. For me, the competing product is vim. All I'm saying is, I think I deserved a response for trying to help them improve their product. Maybe that's too much to ask, idk.

For categorization, we're using ML (which learns over time and isn't rule based like Quickbooks' suggestions, which uses regex).

For the other pieces of bookkeeping, we're using integrations to automatically match invoices/payments (especially disjointed ones, eg invoice through QBO but pay separate via Stripe on client's website). We're also doing stuff like adjusting journal entries programmatically, like payroll accruals. For now, QB is providing the financial reports, we're doing the bookkeeping so their automated reports are accurate!

We're basically doing the services that a bookkeeper would provide on top of a client's Quickbooks software. QB is a tool and we aim to be a service.

Xero and Quickbooks just use basic regex to match transactions, which doesn't make much sense if the transaction category isn't static, eg Amazon. We also learn categories on an aggregate level, so if your bank statement's never seen a transaction from, say Tommy's Tacos, but someone else has, we'll be able to categorize it correctly immediately.
Why are you medicating with anything without looking at what it is? Read label. If not understood, quickly look up the medications involved.

Unless they are marketed very misleadingly (possible - opiates get tons of bad press, Tylenol doesn't), seems like you have zero reason to complain. You voluntarily consumed medications without even reading through the basic info that's on the box!

Splitting into two pills? Why would that work? Presumably most people will take both, so the packaging needs to reflect that. It helps nobody except people that are aware enough to know they want the caffeine but not acetaminophen, but not to just buy such a product in the first place.

Super good point that we've found with our customers who are migrating from outsourced bookkeepers.

We're using our Slackbot as a friendly way for companies to get their financial data, the idea being that if the numbers are accessible/convenient and ones they want to know (revenue, burn rate, bank balances). Then, we can use the same Slackbot to provide other necessary financial details.

We're still working on this, but we think Gusto does a great job of communicating necessary (and not so exciting) info in a way that engages us.

Sounds like Duo has a simple user experience, which is great. But it doesn't solve the eye-contact problem with video calls today.

When you look at the person on the screen whom you're talking to, that person sees you looking away, because you're not looking into the camera, which is somewhere on the edge of the screen. So you don't make eye contact with the person you're talking to.

And for me, that makes video calls feel weird.
> Intel really needs to decide if they want to sell it as a GPU or as a general purpose compute unit with 10% more cores. Intel chose the latter, and you can't really blame them, as you can sell dedicated compute units for more money.

From the article:

> Remember - KNC is literally the same chip as LRB2. It has texture samplers and a video out port sitting on the die. They don't test them or turn them on or expose them to software, but they're still there - it's still a graphics-capable part.

So the core space is still used right? They didn't choose 10% more cores, they just chose to turn it off an not test it, but it still uses the die space.

Porn != Masturbation
Your right I'm making assumptions in your favor, it just so happens the size of places people buy tend to be much larger then the ones they rent. In fact it's hard to even find many 2 bedroom rooms for rent in Seattle while they are the norm for condos. As someone who's recently bought in Seattle I've looked in most of the in demand areas (Fremont, Ballard, Capital Hill, Green Lake, Wallingford, Revenna, and Belltown) - and across the board it's significantly cheaper based on your guidelines to buy. So unless your talking about the same exact building - or maybe only new building I would be very surprised to find out otherwise. (
Cortana has replaced the local search on Windows 10. Users will be searching for their local files, which will be sent to Microsoft, which is neither necessary nor appropriate. You now have to expect being put on a list, if you search for "bomb.txt" on your system.

As for your whataboutism: Most of those have been criticized in the past. Just because we don't list all of them every time a new company decides to do the same shit, again, doesn't mean that we are inconsistent.

And "most", because Firefox is specifically keeping a separate URL bar and search bar around, so that the URLs you type in aren't sent off to search engines unnecessarily.

One look at 1990's NISSAN Primera and one can see what it meant to be at the cutting edge of aesthetics. One look at any of the NISSAN's today, and one can see what it means to design cars by committee.

Try to find a good looking NISSAN with a diesel engine and a manual transmission today. I dare you!
