Multiplying angular velocity by a constant is easier than adding a constant angular velocity.

To multiply by m, use two gears with diameters in ratio m:1. To divide, switch the gears.

I wouldn't even know how to subtract a constant angular velocity. I don't think you need that, though; if you know at what speed all your gears will rotate, a constant addition/change can be replaced by a constant multiplication/division:

a+b = a * (a+b)/a

That was a wonderful XKCD reference, and an enlightened response. I had seen your Redux list before too, but I appreciated seeing it again as a reminder, it's relevant to the discussion and a great resource, especially for those starting to learn about the topic.
I ran an anagram website in the 90s, and that was what we did. We stored word lists with a key of all their letters sorted. We then calculated anagram scores on demand because I couldn't work out a nice enough way to store those.

We had about 300 hits/day so it didn't matter.
> I can't help but think the problem isn't with standup itself, it's with these companies.

I agree too.

Daily standup meetings help me to focus on my goals for the day. Communicating the same status in consecutive meetings makes me realize that I need to put more effort into progressing with a task so that I can report something new for the next standup. Standup meetings that go for more than 5 minutes per person are not ideal and the organizer needs to buckle up
If Tesla begins to struggle, which is still very much a possibility, I could see Apple buying them on the cheap, maybe with a term in the deal to snub Musk out of spite.

CyanogenOS couldn't make money, and WF has trouble making money, because everyone else subsidises the cost of the handset and software by selling data.

If you want to provide what they claim - unparalleled security and privacy - you have to charge more, or charge a phone subscription fee for updates, or something.

One can't expect to get subsidized-by-data-selling prices, and have no data selling.
As a Netflix customer and happy Apple non-customer, I'm scared to death of Apple buying Netflix. So much for openness and competition! So much for cross-platform support! And the worst thing is, the great mass of Apple ecosystem inhabitants wouldn't even see the problem.

It's great that you set time aside to have a 1-to-1 with new hires but I personally think a few weeks is too soon to be asking new hires that particular question. Not to mention it also depends on personaility types; you may have an employee who is fairly comfortable answering that sort of question with complete honesty. But more often that not, you will find that they probably haven't had chance to get up-to-speed with their work environment or gain a thorough understanding of how the dev team operates.

You would probably get more benefit by asking questions that are more related to company culture, such as, how they're settling into the team, how they find the team morale/company culture, who in the team has provided them the most value so far. Those type of questions would hopefully help the new hire understand that you care about the culture at the company and also helps build a more personal relationship, which consequently will build trust between you and your employees to allow them to truthfully answer your initial question a few months later when they are more embedded into the team.

Definitely keep up the regular engagements with new hires though, despite not necessarily receiving the answers you're looking for.
In the US at least, most of the phone is paid for by monthly installments as part of the plan so a phone which might sell for nearly $1K elsewhere appears to cost only $200 here. That has helped Apple immensely.

For my needs living in NYC with tall buildings, with need for good signal, voice quality, I use yearly iPhone upgrade on Verizon network. Verizon buys the $1K iPhone and I pay them back at less than $1.50 per day.

iPhone platforms have greater security than Android based ones and that is important to me as well.

The iPhone - Mac integration is great and minimizes complexity making my daily life easier.

Also, where I live, there are many Apple stores including a 24/365 for service for a device which is essential for my work.

I've had iPhones for 4.5 years and in that time period I've had to replace the phone 3 times for various reasons. Walking into the store for replacement is great.

But other people use phones for different reasons and most don't have the same constraints that I have.

That already exists, but are commonly used on baggage, not at checkpoints. I can't remember what airport I was at, but they were scanning bags in the terminal area before loading them on a belt.I saw a TSA employee stick a bag through the machine, and the machine found a bottle of wine wrapped and taped in bubblewrap and outlined the wine bottle with a red outline.

I think the real approach to geo should be more focused on decentralized use, instead of trying to do big arrays of holes, like solar, it's in the combination with localization of other technologies in array themselves that seem to offer the most opportunity.

You build a metaoptimizer. The metaoptimizer decides which new layers are necessary, and whether the cost of "buying new neurons" ( adding compute instances & storage ) is worth the benefits to the high level optimization functions. ( or pruning / reallocating ). Meta-optimization is clearly a thing, it's in the research papers, and once you build a good one, you're done programming.

My new prediction is Skynet will come out of the financial bots. It solves the money problem, because those bots will become financially self-sufficient quickly.

Regrettably, the target function is "make money" which will cause our next-gen species to be psychopathic and uninterested in human life, except, in the short term, as a market to be plundered. Not a good outcome.
People rarely think about the crashes China had in the last 5 decades - the great leap forward movement, the culture revolution, the massive layoff in the mid to late 90s that saw tens of millions out of their jobs. Suddenly the exact same system/government that caused all those crashes are now ready to deflate the current bubble in an orderly fashion?

How all these happened in the first place? Because the central government had the full power to control the entire economy!

In a smaller scale, how about the recent stock market crash? Media stopped talking about it as it is no longer that newsworthy, but how about those 100 million investors who actually invested their life savings into that stock market? Have you ever calculated their annual returns in the last say 15 years? Did that bubble got deflated in an orderly manner?

Repeatedly, history has shown again and again that hard working smart Chinese people are paying heavy prices to overcome the burdens brought to them by those highly inefficient Chinese central governments, this never changed since the Han Dynasty, it is never about the government/system, the biggest difference is the people.

In case you have no idea of the definition of the current bubble, let me give you one - I live in Shanghai, there are millions of those ugly apartments built before the 90s which were basically handed over to local residents for free, the vast majority of them are located in average or above average areas. Thanks to a "booming" market, nowadays you need to pay $1m to get one of those 70 sqm ones. Did the CCP give every household $1m? No, they give you a bubble and you are paying for it. Oh, btw, Beijing is 20% more expensive than that even when the living conditions there are worse for obvious reasons.

Yup, my guess is that it was causing time-consuming false positives when jumbled together with everything else in the bag, so they set it aside. That way they're easier to verify as safe, since they're isolated and laid flat, and if a closer inspection is required they don't have to go through the whole bag. I'm guessing that's the same reason laptops are scanned separately as well.

From there you can go further levels down depending on what it is that they want...
I don't think so. Ben's point (as I took it) was that Apple has a monopoly on iOS (because only their devices have it) and that gives them a very strong hold on users, there is too much friction in switching to Android.

But in China if people don't really care about iOS that monopoly is worthless and their normal strategy for retaining users doesn't work, which means they're competing on a completely different basis in China than anywhere else.

Would you hire an Udacity Nanodegree Graduate?
I don't think he has an accompanying article I can point to, but there was an episode of Exponent where Ben Thompson discussed the possibility of these giant Apple purchases (and did specifically discuss both Netflix and Tesla). He made a point that is often underappreciated given how obviously true it is: that, with rare exceptions, huge cross-sector corporate takeovers/mergers almost never work. They entice the imagination, which is why both analysts and the general public are always speculating about them, but from a business perspective it's almost never a good idea.

Apple seems to understand this pretty well: they make small, smart buys (as opposed to, say, Microsoft or even Google, who have a history of big purchases that didn't deliver), so I doubt they'll start considering takeovers like this.
> are you conflating ethics and law again, or do you honestly believe that a corporation, a legal construct, has moral rights like a human??

No.

More generally, control a restricted resource. You don't have to rent it. You can sell it. (Apple is an example. Sure, they're selling an item, but a big chunk of their profits are because they sell a restricted item - you can't buy an equivalent one from anyone else.) There are probably other ways to profit from controlling a restricted resource as well.

You can control a marketplace. (Examples: A stock exchange. An app store.)
Yeah, one of the most important things to learn is that people do not mean what they say. Frequently, they don't realize they don't mean what they say. It takes a lot of work and a good grounding in psychology to start to get some useful introspection on even our own motives, let alone the motives of others.

It's easy to say "Yes, I want harsh criticism!" Indulge this a few times and see what happens. I have been fortunate to meet one or two people who mean it and roll with it. However, most people who say this will end up reacting violently anyway, thinking of some reason why that specific thing you said was out of bounds. Never trust someone to act reasonably based on their promise to do so.

The issue of "leadership blindness", where you get tuned out because everyone you around is so interested in pleasing you and never wants to give you adverse information, is serious and real. It's one of the most important things for a company's leader to circumvent, and sadly, not very many corporate leaders have the humility to do so.

I experienced this even when I was just barely up the ladder. As soon as one starts climbing up (that is, gets any subordinates), the dynamic instantly changes.

To OP: give up on asking directly. It's not going to help. Any information you get in direct reply will be useless or worse. Do not expect to get it straight. Assume that there's a bug in your employees' log function that is causing only INFO level messages to get logged even though you asked for DEBUG. You need to think of other ways to get the data you need to run and evaluate your company objectively, knowing that `log()` is never going to work.

You realise that Apple Music is also available on a competing platform (Android)? Netflix's success is, in large part, because of it's ubiquity in the platforms where it's available. If Apple ever bought Netflix, I doubt they'd remove it from other platforms.
But many of those companies face limitations on forgien ownership (china). I also think apple enjoys not having low-paid workers directly on its payroll.

Is it? I like iOS and have no desire to switch, so I would never consider an S8 or a Google Pixel for my next phone. It really does matter. Even if Android is just as good there is friction in switching and people often like to stay with what is comfortable until some issue becomes too much to bare.
Which webinar creation tools does Vbinar support?

There might me an opportunity in the industrial products industry for Vbinar to support technical product education because webinar and self-study resources are common and have been for many years. On the other hand, "brands" suggests the consumer space and there webinars are not a way that viewers might increase revenue and make profits.

Good luck.
I have a few thoughts about this!

What is the nature of the thought you want to transmit? How do you make sure that you are not transmitting idle day dreams? How can you be sufficiently precise for a computer?

Remember Firefox (Clint Eastwood movie) where you have to think in Russian to launch the weapons (spoiler!). Well, suppose you casually "thought" the word "shoot" or "fire" or whatever the Russian equivalent is?

Suppose your friend -- Maverick -- is goofing around with you and you're both in an inverted dive and you just think. "Oh that guy. Sometimes, I just want to launch at him."

The best way to interface is with language! You should have to say the command out loud or to type it out. That way you are being precise and deliberate.

Of course, it would be even better if you have a specialized language that was free of the ambiguity of human speech...

I get the itch its scratching. Working with REST services in particular can become very tedious, real fast, without some sort of de/serialization beyond json -> dict.

Many python REST API client libraries end up rolling their own one-off dict -> "dot dict" transformation helpers, for better or worse.

This sort of thing can be great for interactive use-cases, where terseness really helps (notebooks, REPL's etc). I'd definitely use something like this, there. But I would share the same reservations as you in using this library in a serious project.

That's fair, although "building the world every single time" seems like a bit of an exaggeration, since cargo only recompiles dependencies if they're updated (or you specifically clean your build). The project I work on has relatively few dependencies, so the benefits of not having to specifically define different targets and spend time and effort supporting different toolchain- and platform-specific minutiae feels like it would be a big win for us.
I think it's fair to say the tech has improved significantly, but from my perspective, today's VR is about as interesting a proposition as it was in the 1990's. Yeah, it's an interesting gimmick that would get old fast, and there's no killer app. In that respect, I don't think VR has changed at all in 20 years.
I've worked on codebases that use a similar thing, and I have yet to see one where this wasn't a mistake.

Most of the time, this probably gives you exactly what you want, but then there are times where you discover bugs in production because data you assumed is your custom class is a plain old dict, and now you're raising AttributeError all over the place. Another wart is if you are unfortunate enough to have keys that match the name of one of dict's methods, then you have to resort to instance['items'], which defeats the purpose of using this in the first place.

This is a fun trick, but if someone one my team tried to introduce this, it won't make it through code review.
