Let me just add my two cents, having gone both routes. The mantra you will hear all day long is exactly that... Wouldn't you rather have a smaller piece of a huge pie than a big piece of a small pie?

But I would urge you to weigh things out. That first 7% is just the beginning. They will urge you to hire the best and brightest, time is of the essence. They will tell you not to worry about money, more VC money will flow. And then you find yourself with a big payroll and the need to raise another round, and then another, and then another. Before you know it, you've built the $100 million business you always wanted, but you aren't in charge any more and you own maybe 10 percent. Dilution happens faster than you realize. (Unless your growth is off the charts and you can negotiate amazing terms because VCs are falling over themselves to give you money, ala facebook.)

At that point the question becomes, would you rather have a hundred percent of a $10 million business or 10 percent of a $100m business? I sure as heck would rather own all of the smaller business. You don't go to the board to ask for a raise, you don't hope for a liquidity event so you can get rich one day. You don't waste time trying to convince investors that you will succeed. You control your destiny.

But to each his own. Maybe you would never be able to get to that $10m on your own. And maybe you would rather be known as the founder of something big. Nothing wrong with that. Just know that the headaches and distractions of going the VC route are legion.
That is terrible. I really prefer the v1 variant since I generally don't get the single-click for v2. Apparently they have discontinued it.
Thanks, I didn't notice that the clients operate over the same key set, so I didn't think about the contention. It makes sense.

I think this sounds like further and deeper (maybe multi page) tracking to build up a profile that Google deems acceptable. I think I'm off to train a bot to behave more like a human when it interacts with a webpage...
Ideally it would be a feature in the browser itself. Should be simple. The browser already handles the data. It only needs to dump it somewhere.

As important as what classes were used is what classes were in the HTML, but didn't exist.

Instead of manually clicking around a webapp, you could do a test suite. This gives another way to measure test coverage.

I assume we have to wait for a browser vendor to do this? I haven't seen any plugin/extension feature that reaches this stuff.

Then again, we have good open source browsers...
From the link:

"While this study didn’t track the women’s eating and movement habits away from the lab, it is likely that those who gained weight began eating more and moving less when they weren’t on the treadmills, “probably without meaning to,” Dr. Gaesser said."

Expending more calories via exercise increases one's weight when you eat more calories than you burned. There's nothing new there.
Trying to use a repeating timer event in a webpage to call a PHP script is a pretty bad idea. It'd be horribly fragile. Your main options are really either cron (which is a pain but once you get it working you're fine) or a long-running process. If you really don't want to use cron then nodejs or python would be pretty solid choices.
I suspect this may be an unintential CSS error. On my Windows box, the gitly source renders in Courier which is very much non-proportional.

I don't know, it just is like this. I don't make here some general theory, just present my experience.
Your proposed version loses a TON.

Go back upthread and you will realize that someone had written this "That's likely why they're looking at Saudi Arabia to make the first production track, since the Royal Family can basically do whatever they want."

Without any moral component or disagreement.

Whereas the version you just suggested sounds like a nuanced objection - the sarcastic version shows that this reasoning is absolutely abhorrent. And the sarcastic version is right.

I mean imagine if some kind of gene biotech company, decided to do its first human tests in North Korea, "because the government there can do whatever it wants". This example shows just how wrong the original reasoning is, how outrageous it is.

The version you quoted: "I am troubled that the company is funded by an authoritarian regime with many human rights violations. These are modern times and we should be more judicious about who we're supporting" simply doesn't have the outraged effect.

For my example I alluded to (but didn't quote) - if I had said, "I am troubled that browsers are frequently downloading a megabyte or more simply to serve what amounts to a static page" this "troubled" does not really relate the level of objection someone might feel.

So I personally do not subscribe to your analysis.
- SelfControl app, you can change the timer to 1 month instead of 24 hours, so you are not forced to click it every morning.

- Simple Pomodoro timer, which honestly I use more as a signal for me to get up and stretch my legs a bit.

- Disabled all notifications on phone, macs.

- Things as my todo list, simple and tells me what to focus on every day with recurring todo's.

- Only really visit 3 websites: HN, Designer News & Stack overflow, tagging the interesting posts in the morning, then reading them on Kindle in the evening. Or sometimes between Pomodoro breaks, like now.

- I block all the news websites and other useless information with Opendns.

- Bought a Wacom pen and a mac so I can't play videogames.

- Podcasts for when I'm doing the dishes, Spotify for when I'm doing work.

- No mail, slack before 1pm, I'm most productive in the mornings.

I read in Do The Work that the best thing is to not think, but just start. So I meditate in the morning and try to be completely free of thoughts when I arrive at work, sit down and just start. That was the single thing that made the biggest difference for me. Don't give The Resistance a chance.
Adblockers such as uBlock already block many of these since they're hosted by ad agencies. If someone is determined they can bypass the filter easily though; you'd need a static filter for each of these then.
The only global solution would be to block all remote images which would likely break many websites. Also, nowadays so many sophisticated tracking methods exist I'm not sure it's worth the hassle.

Most developers I know get paid less than national average salary (for the uk) and are expected to deliver above and beyond, with non of the perks you mention (I didn't even get offered 2 weeks paternity pay in my previous job). Please don't get me wrong, I love what I do and I absolutely know how lucky I am to be here, but I just feel for the OP having a weight of expectation that isn't fair in any industry.

These types of articles seem to always get the same mixture of responses. The biggest problem that I see is that everyone starts with completely different sets of assumptions and they are almost never up front about them.

The lack of cited sources in articles like these leads people to bolster or criticize particular studies that they have read or heard about, usually without referencing those. Many of these studies are either flawed or contain assumptions that some people don't agree with, so this ends up going nowhere also.

Are there any really good studies on this topic that we may discuss as a common point of reference? Once that take into account all the facts, and don't start with assumptions like the following:

1. There should be equal numbers of men and women in tech (or there is some other ratio that is preferred or correct).
2. Women and men in tech should - on average - be paid the same.

Some people have these assumptions as part of their personal belief systems, but they entail a whole bunch of other assumptions that are not prima facie true.

One other huge weakness in these kinds of studies is that they measure the things that are easy to measure; things like education and experience. If companies are hiring compensating employees rationally, they would use these only as heuristics, and have some measure of how much an individual employee would contribute to the company as the determining factor.

Measuring job skill, as well as all the other skills that go into being a good employee is really hard, but until a study tries to actually do this, they are coming up with conclusions that aren't at all useful in the real world.
Google Analytics and Ads are present in a large portion of the Web. So it is much more difficult than that. It requires you to program the bot to follow a sequence of links unrelated to the bot's goal, idle on some pages, click links that make sense to the session, enter some text sometimes in comment fields — in essence, react to content the bot has never seen before.

Google is betting that they can extract meaning from web pages better than bots, and they have had a lot of experience with that. On Web pages, each link does not have the same probability of being clicked by a human given the list of pages seen before. Knowing that probability requires the bot to understand what a human would see, and to perform actions that match a given goal which corresponds to the sequence of pages browsed.

And that goal mustn't always be the bot's goal. Bots have business incentives: they want to get people to do something by writing text that will be seen by humans. Humans, on the other hand, only do so once in a while.
Sadly not. I'd be totally up for open sourcing if there's clear demand. If you can find it, send me an email at angus@{company_I_work_at}.com

Note that it's very tied down to our use case right now: only compatible with Logistic Regression, and currently it assumes fixed hyperparameters (will change this in future though), assumes a production pipeline of min-max scaling, imputation, then classification.
Can't really talk about features on here :(
Be mindful my statement was my opinion, not factual. I am completely aware there are people screwed over a lot more than software developers, and I know how fortunate we are to do what we do. I am just making the point that normalising the expectation of constant self learning is fairly unique in this industry as the defacto standard for employees.
Good Business Is Like Good Risotto; Want the Recipe?

Khichdi (and other forms - Bisi Bele Bath, Sambar sadam etc.) is a recipe of rice, lentils and vegetables eaten by a lot of manual laborers (and babies) in India. Perhaps due to the same reason.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khichdi

And in poorer times, rice was eaten as Congee. With increasing wealth, this healthy food is now rarely served in homes.

I was questioning someone feeling "hypocritical" for using other google services but disliking their new recaptcha tool.

As for "the contract": I'd wager that for most people, most contracts they see/sign are easier to get a clear understanding of, than Google's business model of "free" services.

I flew from JFK to Heathrow in 1986 (don't recall the airline but assume it was either a major US carrier or British Airways) - I vividly remember the cabin being full of cigarette smoke. I suppose there must have been a nominal "section" but can't remember.

According to Wikipedia:

"After years of debate over health concerns, Congressional action in 1987 led to a ban on inflight smoking.

The U.S. ban on inflight smoking began with domestic flights of two hours or less in April 1988, extended to domestic flights of six hours or less in February 1990, and to all domestic and international flights in 2000."

You have to somehow say what is allowed and what not, otherwise there is no point at all in competing.

And the superhuman achievements of somebody "running really fast" on the basically same base rules that apply to everyone else is exactly what competitive sports is about.

'But what about the railways ?' ​​The myth of Britain's gifts to India
It's just one more of the many elements of Google puzzle. They control most web searches, GA is a de facto standard of web analytics, Gmail is the most popular mail service, not to mention other free services, Android etc. etc., Google can easily track you all the way from the moment you open your browser (likely, Chrome...), through your searches, visits and actions.
It's high time people realized giving so much power to one company, just for short-time convenience, is extremely dangerous. Google might have benevolent management now, but this can easily change, and it scary to think what could happen then.
People that project their paranoia on others are usually running ad, tracking and probably even script blockers.

I disagree. From junior people, it shows that they can actually do something in practice, and it's not all theory that they don't know how to apply.

A person just outside of university does not have heaps of past jobs to show. So they should just leave it blank and describe their hobbies?!
Have used tools like this before, and invariably end up accidentally stripping styles from an <insert JS UI lib> component with a dynamically assigned className or something equally silly.

It's such a hard problem to solve and the Stylesheet Snowball is one of the most frustrating pieces of technical debt a large site can pick up.

It makes me wonder if scoped CSS modules, despite fundamentally breaking CSS with their hyper specific hybrid BEM-class-ids might be the best preemptive solution even when you're not scaling up to massive SPAs.

Edit. Meant CSS modules, wrote CSS components. I am not a clever man.

Isn't temperature an energy scaled by the Boltzmann constant? That means it's proportional to the energy of something. Why not just use that energy directly instead of converting it to another unit? That's what I means about using Joules for temperature - divide kelvins by Boltzmann's constant

Why on earth would you make absolute zero anything other than 0? That's the major problem of Fahrenheit and the reason Celsius is not the SI unit. Instead, you could put a human-level temperature at a round number like 1000 new degrees so everyone always has the leading 1 in there for everyday values.

> Wasn't whatsapp all over the news for its "replace the encryption key transparently without notifying the user" feature ? Also facebook.

Which was a conscious design decision. Not doing that (even for people that had turned on "notify on key changes"), would let whatsapp know which users could be securely MITM'd. Neither is a very good choice, but an understandable trade-off when it comes to security vs usability.
Is your claim that the pipeline is not completely fugged? Because there are very clear numbers indicating that it is, starting very early, at the K-12 level.

Or is it merely that the pipeline being fugged doesn't mean that everything else is fine and dandy? I'd agree with that, hell yeah, and that claim matches the actual content of those links quite well. But I don't think it in any way suggests that the problem is a myth.

I also don't think the pipeline is unfixable, but that's both my day job and another rant for another day.
I actually feed google false information (select rectangular objects when asked to select traffic signs, flat surfaces when asked for water surfaces, and so on). It'll probably be filtered out when aggregated with other users, but I like to think that I'm at least influencing it even if a little.

Just note that in practice nobody wants to keep their data storing atoms frozen near absolute zero, but rather prefer to have them at temperature close to 300 K.

However to store 1 bit of information at given temperature the energy difference between state corresponding to 0 and state corresponding to 1 has to be not less than something of order kT ≈ 0.02, otherwise the information would be quickly erased by thermal motion. But if we take maximum energy gap at atom that might be used for storing information to be upper bounded by atom's ionization energy [1], it turns out that it can't be larger than something of order 10 eV. So it doesn't seem to be possible to store more than hundreds or thousands of bits per atom at room temperature.

> "earn more than you spend", it would be true, but it wouldn't be very helpful.

It's actually very helpful advice but only if you are able to realize that's the only way you can predictably get rich through.

Most people choose to rather belive that they are spending not more than they believe they should or must and will not always look for new job that pays more, and instead believe that they can get rich by using tricks or will surely have some lucky break.

Same with weight loss. Calories in, calories out is a magic cure for many people but only if they are grounded enough in reality of what they can be sure about, to accept it.
