We only have a shortage of engineers willing to work for really cheap. It's just another way of complaining that tech employees are expensive.

In fairness, so were the suitors.

You don't need to in SF, but kind of do if you live in the broader bay area, which is much more sprawled.
The benchmarking clause itself is a moot point. The fact that it makes the software proprietary and GPL-incompatible is the main issue.

For much the same reason, the infamous "this software shall be used for good, and not for evil" clause isn't just problematic for people who worry that their actions will be deemed "evil".

If the goal is saving money in your 20s, having a 1BR is kind of absurd. You can live in a multi-bedroom apartment/house in SF for much less than that.
How do you measure this? Please be specific.
Using Git Branches
They're already in Google Cloud. One could argue that's preventing them from keeping costs low. Google Cloud is tremendously expensive in op-ex at Snap's scale. You're paying Google instead of having a good ops team(s).

Dropbox did the math and found they could do better on their own. Only time will tell who is right.
Any constraint has the power to encourage more thoughtful, creative expression. Even the most draconian censorship regime sometimes results in beautiful works designed to work around it. But 140 is just an arbitrary number picked for technical reasons a long time ago. There's no reason to think that 140 hits the right balance between brevity and expressiveness. We've simply adapted to this arbitrary limit, in a sort of Stockholm syndrome.

Had they picked 100 characters when they first started, and then decided to increase that to 140, we'd be having this exact same conversation.

Maybe there's a sweet spot for the length of a tweet in any given language that we could find out by map-reducing some big data. But it's unlikely to coincide with the arbitrary limit imposed by SMS, so I'm happy to see Twitter experimenting with a different limit and carefully monitoring how it affects usage patterns.
Nope, not question their competence - I’m questioning where the answers are to the dialogue we should be having surrounding ai cars???? Where the fuck are the answers, what body owns them?
YOUTUBE BLACK – WHAT a MOVIE
Having a 1BR as a young, single professional with a six figure salary isn't totally absurd, even if you're trying to save some money. And costs in Austin scale down with lifestyle, too.
Web 2.0 is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest and JS did meaningful work on the client.
That article is revisionist garbage.
No ClickHouse, no PipelineDB?
1. Short of an economic downturn (which would likely impact Austin as well), if you lose a job in SF, depending on your field that is not super concerning given the available jobs and steep competition. So yes you might have a higher burn rate, but presumably you have less risk in the form of more available jobs.

2. Roots are subjective and depending on your line of work may not be as important to have locally vs. distributed. That's just professionally speaking. Personally, not everyone needs that same kind of community connection.

These obviously vary based on quite a few factors, but I don't think it is really black and white.
Back in the old days of IE / Netscape web. When Microsoft thought the respect of w3c wasn't fitting their vision. Yepee :(
I never see this type of abbreviation on my timeline.
I had a question about this passage:

>"There's no reason not to make this improvement. Minnich noted, "There are probably 30 million-plus Chromebooks out there and when your Chromebook gets a new BIOS, a new Linux image is flashed to firmware and I haven't heard of any problems."

Didn't or don't some generations of Chromebooks use Intel chips? Or is he not referring to the ring -2 and ring -3 Intel ME/UEFI stuff here?
Then maybe you'd be interested in EffectiveDiscussions, like, item 4 in your list:

I have copied ideas from Discourse — so yes it has some of Discourse's features. Plus features from Slack (i.e. chat), HackerNews (best comments rise to the top) and StackOverflow (question-answers) & Disqus (embedded comments).

More things you mentioned: It's not PHP (it's Scala instead, in Docker containers), it is server side rendered (React.js), fairly minimal Javascript: 150 kb JS on page load.
I really can't think of a scenario where the end-user not being in full control of their credentials is good.

Are there situations in which it is easier if the admin can just reset it, sure. Is that a good idea, no.
There are also some really obscure rules that came about to prevent what you might call exploits. For example, it had to be clarified that you’re not allowed to castle vertically (this could happen if you promoted the king’s pawn to a rook) and that you’re not allowed to promote pawns to a piece of your opponent’s color.

A perfect chess implementation from before those rule changes would no longer be correct!

It’s possible to prove that code perfectly implements a formal spec. It’s tough to prove that the formal spec perfectly describes what you want it to describe.
Is this before/after taxes? The problem is if you live in SF vs Austin, the sales taxes are similar but California's income tax will take 10-15k off the top. After that, you have to think about cost of rent. I'm currently debating between moving to SF vs Austin and would end up spending ~30k a year for rent and utilities. For a similar, or slightly nicer, place in Austin, I'd spend ~12k. The difference there, ignoring cost of living of other things, is ~30k. Beyond that, (based on my anecdotal offers in both cities), the differences in salaries between the 2 cities are smaller than 50% (closer to 30% before tax, which seems to match the data in the article, if not still larger). By that point, you have approximately the same amount of money left over in either city.

Granted, in Austin, you'd probably need a car unless you live/work downtown or near the campus so there are trade-offs but I don't think it's as simple as directly comparing percentages.

Even after all this, I'm definitely considering moving to SF since I think it'd be better for my career in the long term but I'm not fooling myself about the money I'd be making. Seattle seems to be the sweet spot for that (no income tax, good tech, cheaper housing than SF).

EDIT: sales tax -> income tax

Let consumers/business request the update on a geospatial grid square, and pay some amount that could in turn be profit shared with USPS.

ie: a county could pay for its counties streets to save man hours for sqft appraisals, with just change detection, for the annual property appraisal updates.
You're right! These people should just take their money and pay to move across country, easy peasy!

or better yet, ask their parents to loan it to them!
I agree with your conclusion but I don't think caching will save us. Currently it doesn't work. The magic of cdn didn't happen. I still download every single bloated monster on the web every time I want to read it.

This is cool. I've been thinking about this for a while. The best way to write high quality web applications is to use compiled languages and minimize the complexity of the infrastructure by using e.g. SQLite instead of PostgreSQL.

I hope this trend starts to pick up more steam and become the sane default that everyone just assumes. Instead of the current mess where everyone assumes that it's "normal" to live in this messy world of countless abstractions and frameworks and micro servers, etc.
I think so because the entire history of advertising is based on hiding the ball in terms of ROI. How many sales does a Super Bowl ad generate? How many does a billboard generate?

For some extremely simplistic e-commerce conversions, such as for referrals to SaaS, it is easy to measure. For entire swathes of consumer products, the game is brand recognition and other soft metrics that drive huge ad spends. You can pretend it’s a science, but the incentives are all upside down for a true end-to-end ROI determination.
When you say "irony", are you genuinely surprised by this?
I'd say it's absurd to be living in shared space like a college student in your mid to late twenties, especially if you're pulling down six figures.

Move somewhere else, where half that income will buy you a house with 2000 sqft and an acre or two of land...
I don't think it's an unreasonable decision to make. It's just one of the least productive things you can do if trying to save money.

I'm paying $1400/month for a 17.5'x10' room in a popular part of the city. That's almost $2k/month saved by having roommates.
Sounds like Disney has done for movies, stories, characters and cartoons what Facebook is doing for chat and social communication -- Putting them behind an aggressively-defended corporate wall and making money by using them as advertising vectors?

What I'm trying to suggest here is that there is a parallel between the (Hollywood-based) Disney machine that has employed, enriched, and frustrated storytellers over the years, and the (Silicon Valley-based) machines that are now employing software pros.
How about doesn't crash an Ipad 1?
Although i get the joke, it would be a fun and interesting experiment wouldn't it ? Espacially since the sqlite test suite is so exhaustive.
I'd prefer that people who don't live in SF stay there and argue for better wages where they live. It's selfish: it would help me, indirectly.
"Say your cost of living is 30k and your salary is 100k in one city. In a 2nd City your cost of living is 60k and 180k. A rational economic decision would be to live in City 2 since it maximizes your savings."

This doesn't actually happen, except in the heads of naïve young dudes who want to justify living in SF right now.

Total REAL compensation for a non-senior engineer in SF is somewhere around $130k right now, with some Magic Stock Bux (probably worthless! maybe not!) thrown in for fun...but those don't buy burritos. Total comp of $110k sounds reasonable for Austin, as well. You can shift the ranges up or down based on seniority, but the spread is about the same, and the range caps out at around $200k in both markets for all but the most exceptional people.

In other words, the salary premium they're talking about here sounds right to me, and a premium of $20k a year is more than consumed by the 3x difference in rent, alone. You can perhaps justify going to SF on other grounds (career growth, networking, etc.), but it's not purely economically rational for most people.
That stuck out to me as well. It kind of seems to me like they’re saying variable cost of goods sold increased
I promise you're spending as much on MTA passes as someone in Austin does on a modest car.
I dunno there's something to be said about becoming a real company with reporting deadlines instead of living perpetually in private valuation fantasy land.
Added your ideas to my notes file.
I have several crud apps running sql. With moderate write load and a good concurrency write error handling code it works very well. Good when the product size is not worth a postgres full blown setup.
SQLite is ok if you don't have much traffic (for example personal blogs), but you can't replace a db like Postgresql with SQLite if you have lot of concurrent traffic.
Where is that info? Glassdoor has 61 reports of Software Engineer for Juniper with an average of $16k performance bonus on an average base salary of $123k. New H1B hires at ~$65k would end up with lower than that average wouldn't they?

Really? _that_ is complicated?

Serious question, do you find it complicated because you're still a beginner, or is there something I'm missing?

What language(s) did you use?
Exactly, these cases are outliers. Yet so many people fail to realize that. Take for example kidnapping, which is the 1th worry for parents, yet in the real world it fall 5000th of the threats to children (by close relative), by stranger I don't think even makes it to the list. The real threat are car crashes, suicide, and drowning which are 1th, 2th and 3th I think. The same think applies to "terrorism", it would be much more efficient to apply the resources to other causes. I think this whole "war on terrorism" and "war on drugs" if just fear mongering that politicians use to try and get elected.
My number 1 wish for JavaScript is that it could become fully expression oriented. There's been talk about `do` blocks, which would modify control structures like `if` to become expressions but I don't think that's gone anywhere.
"I’m still skeptical that we should be allowing this."

Who is we. It's a very different thing to say that there is an ideological compromise or hipocrisy, to State enforced commercial blockades.

Probably new features. The new 3D filters look like they could require more resources to serve (filters are not included in the app but rather downloaded dynamically iirc). Maybe they're rolling out more localized filters too.
I agree. 2017 has been the year that has made me seriously redefine my interest for Apple products, after almost 15 years of being addicted to them.

iPhones without Jack? No thank you.
MacBooks with no USB? No thank you.
iOS that keeps on crashing all the time? No thank you.
Built-in apps that are just so bad that you HAVE to get replacements (Music, Podcasts,..)? No thank you.

And the list goes on and on. I literally have to reboot my phone 2-3 times a day. And all for what? Animated Emoticons. Who the F came up with that?

At this point, even Samsung might be better. That's what you get when a company that used to be run by a visionary then gets run by an operations guy.
A big piece missing here is data augmentation. If they had more of it maybe they wouldn’t need to do the separate final layer training.
Kent Beck's 3X model (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX2XR73LnRY) relies on the same idea that depending on your context, different principles apply.

Transitions remain a tricky point. For example, when a quick and dirty wannabe feature becomes a hit, the practices should follow. What happens to the old code ?
Seattle has a sales tax, I think you mean no income tax is what we have in Washington state. But there's discussion of having a capital gains tax, so we can reduce the regressive sales taxes on poor folks. It's a scary time, better stay in SF :-)

It's really amazing that some amateurs can cut 10+ hours of film, and something like half a billion dollars worth of production costs down to three hours, with free video editing software, and that cutjob is the superior incarnation. Interesting times we live in.

I mean, yeah. A lot of startups could replicate Snapchat in that sense.

It's the market dominance that really did it. Instagram already had the attention, brand, and network.
I suspect Amazon isn't overly concerned with trimming the fat in this case (Walmart took out a lot of what was left of that when they entered the business). At break-even in pharmacy, while not trimming so much as a dollar of fat, Amazon benefits big. Here's how:

- Increased shipping volume. This adds to their market leverage and it can bolster their own logistics business over time. Anything Amazon can do at scale, while at least breaking even, is a very big benefit to their flywheel.

- Another entry into the home, into a person's life. And in this case, a far more important one than most purchases. If Amazon can sell a 67 year old a prescription and get into her home, they're no doubt betting they can also sell her an artificial intelligence tool in the coming years (maybe it takes three years of advertising the Echo on the side of the prescription delivery box to convince the customer).

- It becomes a very sticky repeat business. People will stay with those so long as you don't treat them horrendously. That buys Amazon time to figure out new ways to make money in the segment. It may also be a long-term play on the fact that the US is guaranteed to increasingly shift to government healthcare, as the ACA or equivalent walks its way up the income ladder by necessity; Amazon may see an angle in that.

- Walmart is finally becoming a serious online competitor. They're growing at 2x the rate of Amazon, with about 1/3 the online retail sales. Walmart's online business appears to be kicking into another gear. They've got a $20 billion per year pharmacy sales business. Then there are obviously the other far larger pharmacy-centric giants (the big three have ~72% of the pharmacy business). Anything Amazon can do to press them all in that segment, is a win competitively. To grow at this point, Amazon has to take from everyone else, as US consumer spending is expanding relatively slowly.
And little or no job security or career mobility.
This is the worst thing twitter can do to itself.
It sounds like you're thinking that any device connected to the motherboard or PCI bus has access to read/write arbitrary memory on the host through Direct Memory Access or some other mechanism. This isn't true for a couple reasons:

* The PCI bus access is given to the _USB hub_, since that's what's connected to PCI, not to the USB device you plugged in. The USB hub can talk to the USB device using whatever restrictive protocol it wants to. The USB protocol doesn't give DMA access to devices -- it polls registers on the devices for commands and data.

* Even if it were a hostile device connected to the PCI bus, modern machines, both desktop-class (e.g. x64) and mobile (e.g. modern ARM cores in cellphones) use IOMMUs to give a virtual view of just the device's own addressable memory to the device, not the full system memory map.

(I might be mistaken about some of this, but that's my understanding.)
Discourse does not run on an Ipad 1. It uses a noticeable amount of memory and cpu on any machine. If it is bad for the first world, it is bad for everyone.

Yeah, it is a gold rush. It's pretty easy (relatively speaking) to make well over 200k at a public company with some experience if you include stocks. And some people are lured by options of startups (it's a gamble!). It's harder to get that elsewhere. Not everyone (or most) get there, but a lot do, and even more try.
L5 Google engineers are getting $800k RSU packages over 4 years. Netflix pays their senior engineers > $400k/yr straight cash. I have a friend with 8 years experience getting $200k/yr base at Facebook and 125k/yr in RSUs.

Sure, exactly 50% of the engineers in SF make below average salaries, but the top 50% are doing phenomenally well.
What happened to "Don't be evil?". Or they changed it to "Do not eval?":D.

Bit off topic, but that guy experienced lagginess in UI due some rogue Chrome process. I remember some bug in VLC that slow down my computer to level, it was not even possible to type on keyboard.

And I wonder, why is this happening in era of multicore CPUs? Why there is no restriction (by default) for process, how many cores it can utilise? I mean the tooling is already there (cgroups on Linux), but they're not used by default.

I switched from Ruby to Go and could hardly be any happier. Go feels powerful and simple at the same time. I code whatever i need to code easily, instead of hunting for frameworks and evaluating dependencies (or dreading the next deployment when a dependency changes unexpectedly). The code is easy to read and maintainable due to the lack of multiple layers of abstractions and inheritances. It's refreshing.

However, taxes are very high here.
