> So anything can mathematically become a black hole if you compress it enough.

Not necessarily. If the Schwarzschild radius of the resulting black hole is on the order of a Planck Length you can't really say whether or not such an object is a black hole anymore (depending on your interpretation of the Planck Length).

On my calculator the lower bound is [\frac{r c^2}{2G}] which is ~1.09e-9 kg (give or take a factor of two depending on whether you want to consider the diameter or radius). Which is small but not as small as you might think. I also believe there are some upper limits on black holes too (that come from the upper limits of stars).

It would seem to; what Tesla says in their statement seems to pretty clearly be libel per se against the fired employee if false (on top of potentially being, along with the termination itself, potentially illegal retaliation), and, if not quite an admission (since they don't explicitly state the reason for the preferential treatment), strong evidence for illegal sex-based discrimation against other employees and/or applicants, if true. (And because different juries can disagree on facts and findings of fact in a lawsuit against a defendant aren't binding in a lawsuit by a different party against the same defendant, they could potentially be found liable for both.)

Rust has no top level concurrency model. The standard library provides an abstraction over OS threads, and that's about as much as there is. The ownership model is sort of concurrency-model-agnostic.

Currently the popular Rust concurrency model is Futures. It won't be the only concurrency model used.

> Pinboard is great, but it never competed against Delicious.

I used both products from the early days of each and this is entirely false. Whether or not Delicious continued down the social bookmarking path in it's original incarnation doesn't mean they weren't competing.

I only completely switched from Delicious after their awful 'redesign' and still having an outstanding need for a cloud-based bookmarking service when Pinboard came around. Same with Digg/Reddit. I used both but ditched Digg when they did the misguided v3 relaunch, like everyone else.

The mayflower meeting happened pretty much as described in the Steele dossier. Seth Abramson made a nice tweet storm summary. There's even pictures of the individuals there in question: https://theintellectualist.co/reporter-makes-convincing-case...

Also, its odd to me that people intentionally try to misrepresent raw intelligence. Raw intelligence is so named because it's an amalgamation of different sources and even possible rumors that were deemed pertinent to include. Intelligence officials regularly deal with these, so there are established procedures to verify its contents independently. So to hear you say that since one thing may be wrong, then everything is wrong, therefore it's fake, seems deceitful.

Lastly, we have the curious fact that most every Russian implicated in cooperating with the Steele dossier had been murdered, found dead, or arrested by the FSB shortly after its existence became known to Russian security services.

Id also suggest it's odd for a sitting president to repeatedly obstruct an investigation that he steadfastly maintains will find nothing.

On the surface Bitcoin is a payment network, that isn't all there is though. If Bitcoin or the other cryptocurrencies didn't at least have some value or perceived value to its users, then they wouldn't gain adoption. This usefulness doesn't negate that it has a Ponzi scheme structure to it. In a traditional Ponzi scheme, the value is the big returns you're getting - being fed by the next investor in line to be scammed. That only works when the Ponzi artist targets people with substantial amounts of money - however Bitcoin now enables that for very small transactions, globally. That Bitcoin has value outside of the Ponzi aspect, doesn't negate that it's a Ponzi structure.
Eh, I'd rather not force my views onto people, against their interests, without their knowledge or consent. That strikes me as pretty dishonest.

I use both Firefox and Chrome pretty regularly, but I'm under no illusions that the quality of Firefox isn't quite a bit lower in multiple very concrete ways for my day-to-day usage (presumably because Mozilla has less resources than Google).

In the past, I have switched family members to a _better_ browser, but I'm talking about IE6 to Firefox, the usability gap between which was 1) in favor of the switched-to browser and 2) waaaayyy bigger than Firefox v Chrome in 2017. Even then, if I had to make that same decision again today, I would probably first convince the person whose computer I was modifying. Especially for non-technical users, having things suddenly change out from under you can be really jarring in an environment that's already pretty confusing.
But my point is that there was plenty of evidence at that time that lots of people were willing to rent out "non-professional" private accommodations.

| Large Synoptic Survey Telescope | Senior Cloud Solutions Architect | ONSITE Tucson, AZ | VISA

Cloud engineering where clouds are the enemy! I'm at a major astronomy project to build a telescope that can observe the whole sky twice a week (lsst.org). Our Education and Public Outreach folks down the hallway from me are planning a bunch of cool projects for the general public, kids, and citizen scientists and need someone to come up with how it could all be done using current technology stacks.

So! You get to be one of the first people to learn about the earth-killing asteroid and you get to work on something that your annoying uncle can understand when you go home for Christmas and he asks "So what do you do all day with that computer?"

This is a technical leadership position and as the team is still ramping up it has to be on-site, but Tucson is a great town to live in (they don't call us "The Portland of the SouthWest" for nuthin') and you can buy a house for what it takes you to rent a closet in SV :-) If you need a visa that is fine, we're a quasi-academic shop and our HR is used to this kind of thing.

Don't let the incredibly sucky job application site put you off, it has nothing to do with what the rest of us do :-) Apply here http://ls.st/bo0 (I'm sorry, academia will have cool recruiting practices in, oh, 2045 or so). If you have questions drop me a line (email in the profile).

> Is there many cases where you sue your employer, go make public statements about the case and still have a job at the end of the day?

Usually not, but only because things rarely progress to the point of a lawsuit for the kind of thing where such a firing would be illegal retaliation without the employment ending before the suit (allowing illegal termination—whether direct or constructive—to be included in the lawsuit claims.)
I wonder how global warming / climate change will end up bringing us back to that. It will be even more sweltering, and I can imagine air conditioning restrictions similar to today's watering restrictions.

I am 37 years old and in a late career change from marketing to software development. I have some practical experience in projects with Javascript (mostly React), although not in a work environment.
My work experience is mostly at marketing and non-profit world, now I am in pursuit of my first job as a developer.

Regarding salary expectations, I am honestly more interested in a learning environment where I can improve myself as a software developer than money.

Here is my latest software project: www.dediddo.com
I designed, coded and deployed all my myself. You can see the code on Github here: https://github.com/deltasoneca/Dediddo-to-do-list

But how do you know? I know on hindsight a lot of companies that peaked about the time of their offer. Soon after the investors realized that the potential market wasn't as big as hoped and they pull. (some of the companies still exist, they serve their niche well which makes for some profit and keeps a few people on the payroll)
> In practice this means that the position of packages in node_modules is computed internally in Yarn, which causes Yarn to be non-deterministic between people using different versions.

it would be a compiler warning if you did, too.
IMHO, this is not a good book for learning JavasScript. It's probably a good read for someone with intermediate knowledge of JavaScript looking to expand their understanding of the language. But it covers nothing about the DOM, or how to use it on a web page, which is what virtually 100% of anyone learning JavaScript will be wanting to learn it for. So, yes you can learn the language from this book, but if you actually want to do something useful with the language you'll need to move on to another source.

And, although the book is dated, I think it still does a good job of explaining the core concepts of the language even of today.

We work in small, self-sufficient teams with the shared goal of delivering excellent software anchored in an agile culture of quality, delivery, and innovation.
It's important to note that gravitational waves themselves contain energy and angular momentum. Relativists often use the terms mass and energy interchangeably. When I worked in numerical relativity, we used units such that the speed of light was 1, so E=mc^2 (really E^2=m^2c^4+p^2) simplifies to E=m.

> They never really competed directly like Reddit and Digg.

Even so that wasn't my core point here. The analogies between
the two are still plentiful.

Digg didn't die because of Reddit's 'competition' either. Digg shot themselves in the foot while Reddit largely did nothing and won because of it.

Both Digg/Delicious made big mistakes by doing their social network era redesigns, while Pinboard and Reddit were built around simple designs and staying true to a core concept. That's the point.

I would expect large multinational companies that earn revenue in all timezones and in both the northern and southern hemisphere to exhibit limited seasonality. Figures may be skewed in favor of their larger and more mature markets, but not all countries celebrate the same holidays (like Christmas) and summer and winter and flipped in the northern and southern hemispheres.

I would expect local competitors to exhibit far greater seasonality than any major multinational.
