>The source in that image from Tesla are extremely suspicious. A Google search for "IIT Takeshita" gives you only that image.

It's not easy to find, but I did some digging. Looks like an analysis of the global battery industry, with the 2013 version presented at the 2013 Battery Japan conference.[1] From other citations I found[2][3] it's clear the speaker is Hideo Takeshita, who in 2001 was the vice president of IIT (the Institute of Information Technology Ltd.)[4] and in 2014 was the president of a battery market research firm called B3 Corporation.[5]

Sure the document isn't freely available online, but given the commercial nature of the content that hardly seems suspicious.

>your own sources contradict each other

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It gets very confusing since it's a moving target, and you can rarely tell who is using what source (and when that source is from).

The original capacity announced in their blog post[6] on 2014-02-26 was 35 GWh/yr at the cell level and 50 GWh/yr at the pack level (importing 15 GWh/yr of cells).[7] That's what you're seeing on the chart.

Later at the 2016 shareholder meeting on 2016-05-31, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that they were going to triple the final production capacity at the Nevada Gigafactory.[8]

I have a feeling that naturally extroverted people do not understand that it takes a real push from other to show your work to strangers.

What Kills More Jobs, Private Equity or Venture Capital?
Communications software that has >40 days of lag between OS updates and a patch that allows the software to run on that OS is not commercial grade.

I understand the value in doing the project nonetheless (research, reputation, education, academic use, public availability at no cost, etc.), but it is not reasonable to expect any corporate user to even consider adopting a communications tools with ~6-7 week lag-times to patch after OS upgrades.

And I regret now mentioning freemium. That is not relevant.

You can argue - very validly - that this software is a gift horse. However, it is unreasonable to be unreceptive to critique that says, simply, "projects that take this long to update after OS updates are not commercial grade." That is all I am saying.

I hate the implication that just because software is free it should just be accepted that it is not well supported - if that is the point that is being made, corporate users simply won't be using the software in question.
Typically no. Most ISP's have a Term of Use which says something like:

"C2 SB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to: (a) monitor traffic and content on its network, in its sole discretion, including through the use of automatic content filters (including without limitation spam, virus, and adult language sniffers and filters); and (b) monitor Customer’s bandwidth utilization and to limit excessive use of bandwidth (as determined by SB) as SB deems appropriate to efficiently manage its network.

Ugh, this is depressing. Engineers seem to make so much more money in the states than elsewhere.

I had tried to do one recently using OCaml but it was sort of a pain using libtcod or sdl/opengl/ncurses directly.

So now I'm thinking about transpiling OCaml to Javascript and using one of the many Javascript rogue like libraries.

I mention this because Racket has a Javascript compiler (and tons of other languages these days like F#, Scala, etc also have to js compilers).

The browser is just such an easier platform to get people to play your game.

Are you really willing to tell me that that the average engineer in 3-6 years can pull in $250k? Your own source says the median is $100,690. How long do you think those people have been working in the industry? Are they all just fresh out of college? So if these people all just work 3-6 years should I expect a bunch of multimillionaires? Can the industry support $250k salaries for a wider amount of the population?
Yes, Ubuntu had something called the "amazon search lens" which was easily removed with a command-line like "sudo apt-get remove amazon-search-lens". It pissed off a lot of people though, and a bunch simply moved to a competing distro, such as Mint. This was pretty easy since Mint is derived from Ubuntu (but without the UI stuff). Canonical finally relented and removed the offending software.

See, this is why competition is so nice. With Linux, it's fairly easy to jump ship and move to a competing distro at any time. I can do it in under an hour. (It helps keeping your user data on a separate partition from the rest of the OS.) It's really easy when you stay within the same "camp" of distros, so there's little learning curve: the Debian/dpkg distros are somewhat different from the Redhat/Fedora/RPM distros, but within those camps they're extremely similar. Even switching between those camps isn't that hard. One distro pisses you off? No problem, just go download one of its sister distros and install. Try that with Windows. And if you'd rather stick with your distro but make a change, this is comparatively easy since the system is open-source and put together in a transparent way. Like the Amazon search lens above: it wasn't baked deeply into the system in an opaque way, it was a separate dpkg package. It's easy to look at package contents for system components like this, see any dependencies, and uninstall them if you don't like them. You can even take out large parts of the system (like the UI) and replace them with something entirely different, which is exactly what Linux Mint does, using Ubuntu's base packages, omitting Ubuntu's "Unity" DE, and sticking your choice of 4 different desktop environments on top.
I'm surprised to see the omission of top machine learning engineers from this article, who are currently priced in the $1m-5m range. Facebook has placed such offers to industry experts, as well as to the world's strongest PhD students in computer vision. I am under the impression that other tech giants are competing similarly.

(Note: when I say top, we're talking about a pool of <500 people worldwide.)

"Heroin abuse is a big problem that's only going to get bigger in the US. With legal weed, a lot of former marijuana producers are getting wise and starting to farm the opium poppy. Plus a lot of folks got addicted back when Purdue was pushing Oxycontin, and now that it's harder for them to obtain they've switched to the cheaper and more potent stuff."

I'd really like to see some numbers on this.

From what I understand, there are far, far more marijuana users than there are heroin users -- like many orders of magnitude more. So, yeah, illegal marijuana growers could certainly switch to growing opium, but they're not going to magically get anywhere near the number of customers.
You don't get notifications for messaging? Text, email, etc? And phone calls? Those are all things a person might want a web app to handle.

I agree the notification requests in browsers are too obtrusive. In an app store they have the property of only asking when you choose to install. On the web there is no install so the request for access is not in response to any action you took, which is annoying.

I think they should make the notification request block the whole app so that sites only put it up when it's the main thing they want to show.

That aside... the point ia for some apps, like messaging, it is necessary.

I am building an app for selling food, people need to know when to start prepping an order. notifications are a must.

I do remember watching Twin Peaks, it was certainly odd. Quite a few X-Files episodes had this same oddness as well. I think X-Files also made the whole supernatural thing popular in the 90's and I remember that by the time Buffy came along it was pretty much hyping.

The easiest (or most common) way is to start young: go to a top university. This makes it far easier to jump into a top company. Then you're mostly there, without even necessarily programming anything exceptional.

HP regen was added as a fast&hacky way to make the game less difficult (non-regen versions were hard to beat).

I agree with you on the spam filtering. It would be VERY nice if you could customize the threshold, or even better, have a couple of thresholds, so you end up with a 'definitely spam' and a 'probably spam' box.

I've kind of created that by using spamassassin to filter out really hardcore spam before it gets to gmail, but obviously that's not an option if you're using an @gmail address.

That said, I think we take for granted just how good gmail's spam filtering is. Their ability to 'see' so much email passing through the system gives them a massive advantage there, which they've used to pretty good effect. They catch a ton of stuff for me that SA misses, and very few false positives (but just enough that I can't ignore the folder, unfortunately).
You're in an amazing bubble if you think a dev with a few years of experience is making $250k outside of those regions.
Maybe the occupational licensing is too onerous? I'm sure that you can get cheaper dental treatment abroad.
Is the gap between rich and poor really so important that we should refrain from curing diseases to avoid making it larger?

Making a rich child immune to diabetes or autism doesn't hurt poor people. It's strictly a net gain.

What's fundamentally different between this and, say, prenatal vitamins or good nutrition? Should we ban women from taking folic acid because it gives an advantage to people who can afford it?

Let's say an in-vitro preventive for diabetes could be developed but is blocked because of concerns about gene editing. That means thousands or millions of children will contract diabetes who wouldn't have if the preventive had been available and will die prematurely. How is that a good thing?

I can sort of buy the arguments for purely cosmetic changes like selecting sex or eye color or whatever. I can vaguely grasp the arguments against selective intelligence or physical strength enhancement. But to refuse to prevent diseases? Why?
Monoids, groups, rings, fields, etc. are all very relevant to cryptography. In general algebraic constructions come up more often than you might think. The idea of a homomorphism though not specific to algebra is prevalent in almost any formal domain. Compilers by and large can be considered homomorphisms that preserve certain semantic properties which if you dig deep enough can be expressed as algebraic structures: http://www.logicmatters.net/resources/pdfs/Galois.pdf.

Developing an intuition for all those things is best accomplished by studying abstract algebra.

> Are you really willing to tell me that that the average engineer in 3-6 years can pull in $250k?

I just sent you a link saying that the average engineer makes $100k.

I am claiming that (1) the average developer is awful and (2) you can make that much and more if you're not awful.

You're not going to be a multimillionaire if you make $250k for 6 years.
> Abortion laws have tightly given time periods on when embryos and fetuses exist in the human/non-human spectrum

Untrue. While claims about where a fetus lies on the human/non-human spectrum are often central to anti-abortion arguments, the Constitutional cases starting with Roe on abortion do not address that issue or dictate a result on it. (The anti-abortion camp tends to misrepresent this because they believe that such a decision must control abortion policy, so they read the mere fact of a particular abortion policy as being a decision about the human/non-human issue, ignoring that that is factually not the basis of the Constitutional outcome in question.)

At least for me, the "fluff" ends up being quite practical. I often remember stuff by thinking back to where I saw it in the book. With a physical book, my brain associates content with where I read it on the page (left vs right), how far into the book it was (judging by the depth of the pages), and what the book looked/felt like and weighed. All of this lets me recall information more easily, because the physical sensations jog my memory. Maybe I don't remember the proof of some theorem right away, but then I remember it was on the right page, towards the end of the book, and then for whatever reason it comes back to me.

Perhaps I'm weird in this sense but I know a couple people who remember stuff similarly. It matters more for textbooks or academic literature where I'm trying to recall specific information; with novels it's not as necessary.

Took a look. But honestly I think the biggest issue I have is that I have literally hundreds of things that I need to do and nowhere near enough time to do most of them. So making lists and moving etc. just doesn't work for me. Hence the most important things are on my mind and those things get the special 'desktop' (physical) treatment. I kind of suspect that I am not alone here. Might be because I handle a wide array of tasks which are hard to prioritize by a scheduling system which just allows you to organize that isn't the issue the way I work.

My success rate isn't doubled. Per Harj, they filter for people who will pass onsite interviews. My success rate at interviews is the same whether I go through Triplebyte or not.

> If you are someone who behind the veil of ignorance can pass phone screens, then you will wash out 75% of the time through normal interviews.

Veil of ignorance, huh? I'll run down the ways I've successfully gotten a job:

- Amazon (CreateSpace), by winning a contest they hosted. Multiple times. There was also an interview for this, though not of a problem-solving nature.

- eBay (Milo), by passing their online hiring challenge. There was no in-person interview for this; rather, they had me come in and work for a day.

- NCC Group, by passing their two challenges. There were in-person interviews for this too, largely consisting of them asking me if I knew how to do things and me saying "no". (I was told afterward that the reason my interviews had gone so oddly was that I had never provided them with a resume.)

Triplebyte themselves told me that I was exceptionally strong in "academic CS" -- the first time around. When they asked me to reinterview for their benefit, they highlighted it as a weak point.

My rate of success in applying to companies that rely on an interview instead of a project or other objective demonstration is 0%, not 25%. But I feel safe in saying that my interviewing problem doesn't lie in the fact that phone screens are hiding my basic incompetence from innocent companies.
It has a lot of application in functional programming languages, thinking of my programs algebraically has had a meaningful effect on what feels like "clearer expression of thought" in my code.
