Your basic principle is that you want to get on a team that is going to launch something demonstrably important to Google within the next 6-12 months (if they launch more frequently, even better). Google normalizes salaries by level; if you negotiate a higher salary at hiring, you'll get smaller raises over time so that you eventually reach parity with others at your level. For that reason, it's more important to put yourself in a position where you can quickly demonstrate ability & contribution and get promoted than to get the best deal going in.

Some more specific tips:

#1: Go for a core product - something under the "Google" umbrella rather than the "Alphabet" umbrella.

#2: Ideally, go for a moneymaker: Ads, Search, Cloud, Android/Play, or YouTube. They get a lot more attention then divisions that make productized versions of Google's internal tools (GMail, Inbox, Calendar, Docs, Drive, etc.) or those that are part of Google's moat (Chrome, Toolbar, Fiber/Access).

#3: Be wary of anything experimental, unless you really believe in what they're trying to build (at which point, you're doing it for its own sake and not playing the salary/promotion game). The vast majority of these never launch, and so they count for nothing at promotion time. There's a bit of a tradition at Google where really senior engineers who have generated more money for the company than they will ever cost basically get one freebie project to do whatever they want - that's how we got Google Wave, Hello.com, Google Scholar, and a number of projects that never launched. These projects can be very personally rewarding & educational to be on, but they're unlikely to lead to promotions or higher compensation.

#4: Try and gauge the political clout of the manager (often very hard to do unless you've been there for a while). The managers that are best at getting their people promoted are usually not the best technically; don't necessarily be wowed by someone with a great track record (see #3) or who seems like a real coding genius. Instead, look for someone who you feel really has your back and wants you on the team. Also, good managers like this will have really good other individual contributors on their team; they may not be great technical folks themselves, but they will attract great technical folks to work for them.
Sometimes it can be the opposite case. The Udacity course on statistics with Katie Kormanik has lots of well designed problems to work on as she taught various statistical concepts. This helped make sure that I really understood what was being taught and strongly cemented the concepts in my mind. That being said, this particular course is very well designed and it was clear that the instructor had actual experience _teaching_ (she has a M.Ed. from Stanford).

On the other hand, I've taken -- and given up on -- both Udacity and Coursera (more lecture oriented) courses that had absolutely abysmal instruction. I had no doubt in the instructor's skill at the particular domain, but it was clear they had no idea how to teach.
I use Lastpass and a lot of apps offer a weird icon next to the password box that opens a share sheet with LastPass as an option.
Discrimination is permitted if you're not renting your entire home.

Key takeaway: "Who you bring in to your private home is a very personal decision that the state has no business regulating. This is the part of the opinion that convinced me."

In the dot-com era, marketing types aspired to make their Web sites and apps "sticky" in the sense that readers and users would not just dip in for something in particular, but would be motivated to come back again and again. Frequent, small, regular updates to content is one example of this strategy.

This is where the term "sticky" comes from. I realize that's not quite as satisfying as your villain-validating interpretation.
It seems that the nano degrees are meant to provide a specific practical skill set as opposed to a broader academic inquiry. I think those skill sets are valuable (taking algo trading now), but the course is about how to use Python and statistics to build machine learning programs for finance, not about Python, stats, or finance. Maybe it's a bit of a distinction without a difference though because you'll have the beachhead from which to expand into each of those areas afterward.
Rust doesn't encourage that.
Thanks for the rec - I also hail from Austin so we are venting about the same obscenties :)
I'm not using pluralism does not refer to the voting system but to the population. The United States has a population with a diverse range of beliefs, with no strong homogeneous majority. Some people like thin crust pizza, some people like thick crust pizza. Some people think the sauce goes on top of the cheese, some people think you can make a pizza without any cheese or sauce, some people think pineapple is an acceptable pizza topping.

The problem isn't the voting system, the problem is naively thinking that a significant number of your countrymen agree with you in every significant way, regardless of whether you fall on the left, right or middle.
It's doing both things.

When you're trying to compete with a huge incumbent you always have the Wine vs. Qt/GTK question, where you have to choose between compatibility and design freedom.

But even when you choose compatibility and reimplement the incumbent's API, you don't want to do it using their servers. What happens when they suddenly change the protocol they never promised not to change?
Relying on Mars as a backup planet for humanity is more like relying on the Commodore 64 in your closet as a backup of last resort in case all other computing devices in existence are irreparably fried. The C64 may not be anywhere near as good as all those other devices but in the insanely remote chance of a catastrophe, having a terrible computing device is better than none at all (except in the case of Mars, we'll be wiped out without the backup with no chance of bootstrapping back to civilization).
It would be really cool to see more hackers work on ways to improve outer-world-internet, so we could follow live streams of these space based events in real time (instead of watch gamers yell at their screen, live)

Haha, but there is always a way to make this less vanilla than people would expect. Ie adding Spring 5 (alpha) reactive web layer & I still love hateoas (spring/data-rest) but adds a little too much extra complexity for the benefit (on the client).

I miss well tested and 'best practice' pattern derived systems...
> In fact, splitting the vote among more parties makes it likely that the elected official will represent the views of fewer of the total electorate!

The obvious answer to this is to dismantle the Federal system, devolve as much power as possible to the states, and perhaps abolish the office of President altogether.

It would probably be a terrible idea on the one hand, but on the other hand, no more Presidential elections.
This is also the reason that you sometimes find Madeleines flavored with earl gray tea. It's something of a literary joke about Proust, who helped make the cookies famous.
132 column displays were common by the end of the 1970s.

80 column displays date back to the early 1970s.

I started coding on an 80 column display, and I have no doubt at all that a modern 16:9 monitor that can display a double page PDF or a web page with a variety of fonts is a much better display device.

Google suggests that this is essentially PowerPC. Is that not true?
Yeah, I bought some as well. Can't win them all. I believed their vision of being a lifestyle company that could weather the whims of the tech market. That may be so, but looks like they never expanded their market, and their user experience didn't evolve to suit consumers.

OTOH, if I bought what I really liked, I would've bought HTC and stagnated. The Re action camera is an excellent value and gets the experience right.

I genuinely believe Bernie could have won if he stayed independent. The two political parties are owned and operated as Corporations. They can choose whoever they want to represent them. There are no laws governing their inter-party behavior. This is why non-party candidates need to be taken seriously.
it doesn't. instead, it takes it to new heights:

"s:id":"i:11"

this illustrates, what in my mind is main problem with contemporary software development. in old days, first, there was a problem, for which we had to find a tool that is good enough. nowdays there are plenty of tools, for which we are hoping someone will find a problem.
The problem is people are taught from an early age that it's good to be an activist which means to focus on convincing people of a certain policy or viewpoint, instead of stating one's own reasoning. You'll often see "10 reasons to support X" which is unlikely to be intellectually honest since usually people will support X for 1 or 2 reasons, and might agree with certain arguments against X.

E.g. I support something like basic income, but I notice two contradictory arguments are used. The first says that basic income increases the incentive to work for the poor. The second says that basic income releases the poor from being forced into low pay work, and allows them to use their free time on positive things. These are contradictory, but you never see basic income advocates arguing this point among themselves.

Instead of encouraging people to be activists, we should be encouraging them to be intellectually honest. Very few issues are so important that they justify using marketing techniques that ultimately corrode the effectiveness of public debate.
I think the better question is why do people think racism is wrong, but bias of an entire group of people based on their political/personal beliefs is okay.
Have you ever programmed a microcontroller?

A font that supports all Unicode is larger than a browser installer.
It's meant to be part of a decoupled stack where you can pick and choose different options for UI, backend, etc. We're constantly working towards having clearer integrations and patterns. If you just want to get a thing built without making decisions and putting in some work for integration, I'd just go with the built-in Meteor stuff for now.

Antarctica is NOT more habitable. It's really cold there, so you have to use a lot of energy to keep it warm. Space-based habitats don't have that problem, because there's no convective cooling like there is in Antarctica. They're relatively easy to keep at a comfortable temperature. The only thing Antarctica has going for it is a ready supply of breathable air, but supplying that hasn't been a big problem on space stations for a long time.

Also, a space station will have a much better view than an outpost in Antarctica.

A city in the Gobi desert would be pointless. First, it's owned by China and they aren't going to let you just build a city there, and second, we have tons of cities in deserts, so why would we want another one? There's no compelling reason to bother with such a thing.

More practically, it can be used for a lot of missions, like learning how to manufacture stuff in low-gravity (and taking advantage of low-g or zero-g for manufacturing) (the middle of the station would be zero-g), or acting as a waypoint for other missions to the Moon or asteroids or Mars, etc.

The main disadvantage to the huge space station is, of course, cost. But there's enormous economic opportunities there beyond tourism and research, starting with resource extraction.

Unless the book is some rare or antique print where the physical copy carries some intrinsic value worth more than the actual paper its printed on, then I have no issue with using a copy of a book in a artistic but destructive fashion. If its a book that is highly regarded, there will be some sort of digital copy or other prints available. If it's some pulp romance novel that was printed once 20 years ago and has been in a used book store since then, its not really a loss if its destroyed. Of course we should preserve data to the best extent but some data isn't worth the medium its stored on. Think of every picture you've taken. Are they all priceless to you? Could you stand to lose some and still be happy with life? I could go back and cull 90% of the pictures I've taken into a core set and not worry. I don't have to since storage space is dirt cheap. Bookshelf space isn't. A library or used bookstore can only hold so many books before they are giving away stuff no one reads or just tossing them in the recycle bin.

Banned books have some sort of special value to our culture. They are usually trending books that become even more popular when some school district or public library says "We are banning book X." there will be tons of prints available to keep up with the demand. There will be digital copies too. So what if one copy ends up in some guy's art project? That wasn't the only copy and definitely won't be the last either.

I don't keep many books on my shelf. They are typically expensive textbooks that have some condensed knowledge that would be hard to obtain elsewhere. Check out the yearly lists of top banned books: http://www.ala.org/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10 Do you think it would be hard to obtain a copy of the Bible? or Fifty Shades of Grey? You could run to any used bookstore and pickup many of these books for dirt cheap for some dumb project.

But actual censored novels? Those are a rare find and typically don't have many prints unless they have been leaked out of a totalitarian country or published freely after the previous govt falls. But those aren't what this project is using.
>My main use case is having it mounted to a motorcycle where I can reach the buttons but can't safely or easily see the indicator LEDs. Is it on? Is it recording?

If you get the GoPro phone app, you can do a live preview of what the camera can see and you can fiddle with most of the settings. I usually use my phone to make sure everything is pointing correctly from my helmets pov and then tuck my phone into my backpack.
> they should release a cheap phone that could be easily bought worldwide

That's just a war in the mobile device space. If they really wanted a "holy war" they'd have started a Search Engine and massively discount the ads in exchange for exclusivity. That would be the equivalent of Google entering the space where Apple made all their money.

Voting for the third party candidate when it doesn't matter, (since you are not in a swing state), is not a strong message at all. Come back when you have some skin in the game.

Everyone looks at the president as some kind of be-all, end-all, but it isn't. Informed voting on candidates in lower level of government who has opinions that are more in line of your own, can then go on to shape the political landscape further on in their career.
This seems like the oddity of it. The keyboard is poor, but the touchbar is useless if you don't use the keyboard.

The lack of (useful/mainstream) ports seems surely due to the desire to go thinner - looking at the old MacBook Pro, it was as thin as it could go for those port dimensions.

Sigh.

It would be cool if these + standard AOSP APIs can run as a window on top of regular Linux. (X, KDE + OpenGL, or Ubuntu).

Maybe that will unify the Linux Mobile, Desktop, Tablet better than the Gnome?
Sorry, yes am getting them confused. Trying to figure out what is going on with little sleep and email data. I am embarassed I made those mistakes but it is also telling.

I am not contending there is a blackout-- that was an over reaction, but all major networks are barely mentioning much of the disclosures or even showing HRC in that bad of a light. If this was Gary Johnson-- who most people dont know; would ve surprised if state dept & WL werent front page.

Bloomberg, CNN, NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC are running with blatant propaganda. Just because I find HRC to be a dangerous, doeNt mean I support T.

The state dept/FBI are releasing data dumps on a former senator & secretary of state as well as pursuing her investigation of criminal activity. None of these papers allude to that scary fact, or the scarrier fact that there is a schism internally as well.

Comcerned.
Nobody (credible) says so outright, but by dismissing the concerns of either group who says one or the other, it is said implicitly. I felt that Michael Jordan, of all people, issued one of the more competent statements on the matter. He highlighted both the distrust that black people have of police due to some of the recent violent incidents, as well as the tremendous service that officers provide by literally risking their lives, and spoke about those who do so with integrity in a respectful manner.

Because this is the only real solution. We have to acknowledge the arguments and feelings of both sides, not shout one another down.
By which definition? The "you could argue" definition that I don't agree with? Or my "personally, I would consider" definition?

By the latter, if country A is arming/training/providing insurgents in country B with no previous attacks by B on A, then A is the aggressor. So in the eastern Ukraine case Russia would be the aggressor.
Racism is not just a personal characteristic. It's an ideology. Any analysis that does not examine how racism had been embedded in media and enshrined in law throughout history is weak. People are less racist in America today than when it was the law that black people couldn't use the same facilities white people did. Just an example. We are strongly influenced by our environment. Propaganda works. Coherent ideologies define our mental frameworks even when they don't call attention to themselves.

This essay, to me, embodies the Liberal (as in Liberalism) conception of racial politics. The Liberal conception of anything is usually neutered of radical, transformative potential.
"If your friend is standing there in his house, and when you ask to borrow his stuff he says yes and hands it to you, that's a lot closer"

Closer. Its more like if your friend says you can use his car, but you need to pay him $x per mile. So you use an odometer changing device to make it look like you didnt actually use it.

"In 1983, she built a parthenon of books to mark the fall of Argentina’s dictatorship. At the end of El Partenón de Libros, two cranes tipped the structure on its side and the public was able to take the books. Minujín plans a similar fate for the books in her modern-day Parthenon, though it will contain far more than the original installation’s 20,000 books and will be on display for 100 days starting on June 10, 2017."

The issue of complexity is why I'd push for approval voting (i.e. you can upvote multiple candidates). http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/ shows some of the weirdness that comes up with ranked choice voting (what I'd always heard of before as instant runoff voting). It looks even more surprising than what we have!

I've been wondering recently if California would go for a ballot initiative to change their primaries to approval voting or score voting or some other reasonable improvement. Since recently the state has open primaries, meaning you might end up with a general election between two Democrats, or two Republicans, and other weirdness. I can imagine less resistance to a change here, than for the mechanism of the general election.

If you're referring to this election specifically I actually envy the Republicans. Trump was able to cut through the party and rally a huge base basically by himself. Even if he loses it's an amazing opportunity for the party to reinvent itself.

Meanwhile the Dems double-down on the status quo year after year.
This is a good point. However, if a Python application depends on a lot of packages which are not on Debian, and I guess this is often the case, then this can seem like an Herculean task.
