> Even so, I don't think a large difference between the BOM and the price the consumer pays is necessarily a ripoff.

Actually, in some jurisdictions, if that difference goes over 12.5% of the paid price, and the customer is not specifically informed about this (and about potential cheaper competitors), the contract is not valid.

> Are American companies that different? The few places I've worked software engineers didn't get bonuses, only the people in sales did. Software engineers are seen as a resource.

People in sales don't get a bonus because they're not viewed as a resource, they get a bonus because they hit a sales target for eg the year and their pay is often determined in part through sales goals. All employees are generally viewed as a resource by management.

It's not uncommon for software engineers to get an annual bonus, that's particularly true if things are going well and it's also commonly true for any higher value employees (software engineers commonly earn 2x to 4x the median income in the US).
The thing that OP is neglecting to mention about the medallion system is that it's purpose was to limit the number of cars on the road at any given time, which eventually turned into a cartel like market because there was a higher demand for medallions than was decided upon for how many taxis should be on the road to reduce congestion and the number of cars within cities.

In places with good public transit, this resulted in people using public transit to get home when taxis weren't available, now everyone just takes an uber/lyft. Additionally, this also hurts the speed at which busses can travel. However, now you see places like manhattan have far more cars on the road at any given time than before considering the taxis never left, and the number of cars went up to meet demand.

Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave-frequency radios in space using SDRs.

Work with engineers from SpaceX, Google, Qualcomm, and Planet Labs who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.

* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design

* Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution

* Fault tolerant systems -- Design fault tolerant electronics for operating in a radiation environment

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* Mechanical -- design spacecraft deployment mechanisms and structures.

* Thermal -- develop thermal loading, nominal and off-nominal analysis cases for Astranis spacecraft.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

> We built verification into the language in Pascal-F, 30 years ago.

You sound like a very interesting person to buy a beer for, assuming you'd be patient enough for my questions :p, I'll check out the paper instead when I get the time.

> It's much easier to keep the verification statements correct if they're in the same file and the same language as the program.

Agreed. Hell even using Dialyzer in Erlang/Elixir for static type checking (which I make the effort to do often in my daily side project hacking) just doesn't feel right, even though it's still appended to function definitions in the original files.

This is one of those things that need to be a core part of the language design IMO, not just a tool built on top - 3rd party, by the core team, or otherwise. But, that said, tooling can still be superior compared to the complete absence of it.

Maybe you can answer a question I've been struggling to find the answer to via Google. Do you know the name of this popular older language/tool used by to Microsoft for doing formal verification? For c/c++ style code. It sounds like tkk or something similar? I can't seem to find it.

My other question I'd ask is if you think the testing analogy applies here as I mentioned in my comment above or do you see it as an entirely different paradigm? Basically changing how you program rather than adding on a tool/skillset.

> Thats more her style, not doing it for attracting attention, more because shes interested in modifying her body

You're probably getting downvoted for that premise. It's blatantly obvious she's using it to drive views on YouTube (and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that). Even her name is intentionally pointed toward that: SexyCyborg; she's telling you right there what she's doing. It would be just as obvious if it were some hot guy that did every video of his with his shirt off. It's no different from Howard Stern shock-jocking for listeners, or the thousand times Jenna Marbles leveraged her looks to push views, or Matthew McConaughey taking his shirt off on camera. It's always obvious what they're doing and why.
Nah, you just clean the coal and it's fine.
The Supreme Court has clearly held that blood draws require a warrant (or consent obviously). Birxhfield v. North Dakota. It’s a 2015 case so the officer was probably just ignorant of it. But the hospital’s official policy should have clued him off. They don’t write those things for funsies.
Then there's not a heck of a lot of room for error or raises. In a now deleted reddit thread someone was bitching that $150k for programmers was absurd, and they have all kinds of applicants, so nobody's worth that kind of money.

My rebuttal was pretty simple: major tech companies have profits per employee north of $100k. That's $100k in compensation left on the table, by companies reputed to be among the highest paying out there. In contrast, IBM has profits of $30k per person and is constantly in layoff mode. That's what happens when the value is less than $50k.

Any crime can be flipped to show "positive" attributes of the perpetrator, usually to downplay the crime.

A skilled thief could be described exactly as you have described an illegal immigrant. Plans ahead, "invests" in their own future, able to "prosper" with minimal assistance from the state. (In fact, assistance is explicitly avoided at times, it would complicate matters...)

Taking this further down the absurdity rabbit-hole, one could even suggest that a non-criminal lacks the necessary traits to succeed - companies should show preferential treatment to criminals, or at least certain types of criminals. (Who decides this? Also, in before white collar criminals.)

A lot could be said about the positive attributes of serial killers, if we want to go hyperbolic.

I want to understand the protocol for body cam footage and how it becomes released. Seems like this puts the officer in a bad light, so who released the footage and why? Is there a standard in place for releasing body cam video? How does it normally come into the hands of the public?

EDIT: Thanks, guys. I read up a bit on FOIA and have a much better understanding about that now.

I don't have an opinion on whether the government should complete the study, but one reason for doing so is that such government agency studies are admissible in court to prove facts. The rules of evidence are complex, but long story short such government investigative studies can be extremely valuable for both plaintiffs and defendants by making it easier and cheaper to meet evidentiary burdens of production and persuasion.

So if I have a question I open up QQ and have a few hundred friends. We all help each other with whatever. Many are engineers or work in factories here in Shenzhen. Most of the electronics in the world are made here and a lot of them designed and engineered here also. So easy to get very very professional help. This network has been called gongkai. Also why so many hardware startup here.

IANAL, but in most cases, body cam video falls is available through a FOIA request. Often times either the media will file a request or a defense attorney, victim, or individual involved in the incident will have access and release the video on their own. Same with dash cam video from police cruisers.

> These estimates are based on a universal basic income paid for by increasing the federal deficit. As part of the study, the researchers also calculated the effect to the economy of paying for the cash handouts by increasing taxes. In that case, there would be no net benefit to the economy, the report finds.

> "When paying for the policy by increasing taxes on households rather than paying for the policy with debt, the policy is not expansionary," the report says. "In effect, it is giving to households with one hand what it is taking away with the other. There is no net effect."

TL;DR: If we create money, there's more money in the economy. If we don't create money, there's not.

Software engineering are already the best paid job category[1], outpacing finance, for Chinese university graduates, as the best profession to go to.

Are automated ground based vehicles really going to out perform automated flight based ones?

I can see that for large packages (~50% of current parcel delivery?) but that still leaves all standard envelope based mail and smaller package. Such as books by Amazon or the very broad group of various daily products people would START purchasing online if they could get same day delivery.

If we look merely at how things work now - yes - I believe what you're saying makes the most sense. Because it's merely a big optimization of the current systems.

But I believe this downplays the innovation that very fast same-day delivery of packages (within a few hours even) that drones could provide. It would seriously expand the scope of services businesses like UPS and Fedex can provide.

Suddenly pharmacies, drug dealers, restaurants, local bakeries, convenience stores, gas stations, liquor/wine stores, etc, etc have a new retail venue.

Why stop at the busy gas station to fill your cars tank before the daily commute when you can wake up to a prepaid jerry can in your drone box?

I'd bet the answer will likely be a combination of both with a much higher volume in the drone delivery side.
