Immutability, in other words.
What about a platform that incentivizes investigations, and publishers pay for it?
Yep. It gets to be pretty distortive. A highly paid employee might have an effective marginal income tax rate of 40-50%, so any untaxed benefit that the employer can expense is effectively being purchased at a ~45% discount (when you compare to what the employee would have to earn in order to buy it).

That's the hole in the Amazon/Netflix HR philosophy of "lol why give you free stuff? we can just pay you more and you buy it yourself".

When I eat the free food at an employer-paid conference I think, "wow, I am cheating the tax man" (because, under a proper accounting, that would be an after-tax expense but I'd being expensed by the employer and not treated as income).
Yes, I am deeply pessimistic about human nature. When weaker men at the lower levels of companies see what happens to strong men at the top, what is the likely outcome? What would natural reinforcement learning tell them on how to maximize their reward/minimize their penalty, given their very limited options?
That is typically part of the cloud brokerage value add.
Non-career things can also factor in, sunshine and weather were important to me.
Do they work in icy or snow related low visibility conditions? I'm living in Wisconsin so they would have to tick both boxes for me to consider.
Yes. Most of the power goes into charging and discharging the capacitance inherent in each wire and transistor gate every time a signal changes. When you shrink by 2x, the capacitance goes down by about 4x (because it's proportional to area) and power goes down 4x also.

(It's not exactly square-law, because the sides of wires have capacitance too, but at least at larger sizes it was close.)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennard_scaling for details.
Senior engineers usually come to us for one of two things:

1) Finding a really early stage startup. We spend time finding the most interesting and fastest growing startups, and given the difference in outcome between the median startup and Airbnb, it's worth spreading the net as wide as possible.

2) Executing a broader job search (including larger companies) faster.
I meet a number of people at Apple in this category (i.e 20-30 years + experience). At a certain point salary tends to flatten out unless you go into management or do something incredibly specialized.
Yes. The professor / grad student relationship is essentially manager / employee, in that the professor acquires resources (grants), sets direction, manages, and politicks for the group while the grad students create the actual deliverables (perform experiments, write papers, help with grants and rec letters, train new members of the lab, etc).

Professor / undergrad is a very different relationship since the undergrad is not creating deliverables that will help further the professor / research group's goals.
This stems from use of CoreML, a High Sierra-only API used for the content-based layer naming.

It would have been nice if that had been a feature-flag that only turns on when running on High Sierra, but I'm guessing they decided that level of modularity was too much dev/testing overhead.

Doesn't that just reinforce my point? To the extent there are women "playing power games" that's not something the company should tolerate either. And just because the subordinate is consenting or even willful doesn't make dating a subordinate okay. Then it becomes a question of whether the supervisor can maintain objectivity and fairness with respect to the rest of the team.
Thanks for the info. Custom resolution in lambda with vector clocks would be fantastic. Maybe in the future?
EKS is likely to be in preview/beta for most if not all of next year. Even after it exits preview, you'd probably want someone else to kick the production tires. Given how Kube on EC2 is doable/manageable (that's what we do) I don't see a reason to stop. If Kube is the right choice for you now, it's the right choice on EC2, and once EKS becomes a thing you can migrate to, you can just do it.
Some teams will want custom cluster deployments for whatever reasons but it will probably lose a lot of traction now... which is fine. Kops is a big expansive tool with a little too much surface area for my liking in a infrastructure management tool.

I'll be interested to know if EKS will support custom CNI or if it will use kubenet.
Fuzzing inputs
The web has shown us that people don't want to download an app for everything.
macOS tags work great for these things, especially when a single item belongs in more than one folder.

These days I use folders primarily for organizing tasks that must be tied to the filesystem, such as making backups, and for representing entire projects or super-categories. For anything more nuanced I just apply some of my 100+ or so tags.

e.g., if you collect “reaction” images, most images may show more than one emotion (angry, happy, sad, etc.), so you just lump them in one folder and tag each image with the relevant elements. Same for people and characters that may appear in more than one series, and images that will have more than one character, so instead of folders named after a series or character, you just have a “Movies” or “Anime” etc. folder and tag each image with the series’ name and the characters in it.
It depends very much on the particular Congresscritter in question.
Fine then, compare it to a TV that watches you back whenever you're looking at it.

For the photography work(food/travel) I do, 99.9% of it is handled in Capture One Pro. That manages my photo catalogs, and non destructive edits. All of your photos are organized right on the file system Photos\Food\Restaurant, however you want to do it. Imports can be synced from existing directories, or copied from memory to those respective directories. Rarely, if ever do I need to jump out to a more advanced editor. Regarding rating systems, I use simply five stars for my shots that are publish worthy / and use various color codes to indicate where I've published them to already.
Best of luck to you then!

People in Europe can be envy of salaries in US. Even in London which is not cheap either it's common for dev to get around $60k annually before tax (and taxes are high). This beg to ask a question : why employeers are so reluctant to hire remote devs even within similar timezone?

It’s built using Metal 2 (https://developer.apple.com/metal/) which is only available on High Sierra. I guess they carefully weighed the pros and cons before making this decision!
If this is what you believe, then I've already covered it in my original post -- PhD students should be treated as employees.

PhD "students" can be either employees or students, not both. Currently they're "both".

---

Also, I'm not sure your post really refutes the notion that a PhD student is paying for access to a professor. A PhD student could receive a degree without access to the institution, so in both cases, undergrad or grad, the institution itself is what's being paid for.

Ok I should have said "dense urban" or something, since downtown or Manhattan is a whole different ballgame from suburban & highway.

The article appeared to imply that they have not done actual urban driving yet:

"""
The company plans to begin tests in Manhattan early next year.

Mr. Vogt is keen to prove that self-driving models can navigate complex urban environments such as downtown San Francisco, rather than just highways and suburban streets.
"""

Curious if anyone got a different reading from the article... (or perhaps if the journalism was just sloppy? idk)
may I ask in which country did you worked? An German company can also have this rules... but not inside Germany of course ;)
That was my thought too, but Scott Aaronson had a good reply (ctrl-f for "isn’t there some workaround").

Basically, it's not entirely an arbitrary number, because other key decisions and cash flows are based on it, and you'd have to get vastly different systems to all change a bunch of things at the same time in order to "refactor" it this way, which may be an impossible burden.

> How do I have an identity when I consistently invite other people - often strangers - to affirm my experiences?

This sums it up so perfectly. It precisely explains what I've always failed to when people ask, "why didn't you take pictures of that? or share them on Facebook?" I was just overseas for several weeks and I was able to fully absorb the entire experience because I wasn't worried about what anyone else in the world thought of what I was experiencing at the moment.

I do think there can be a middle-ground with social media if it's designed thoughtfully, with this perspective in mind. I wrote a little about it recently [0], specifically on how Mastodon shouldn't have ported over the favorite/like functionality from Twitter, because functions like that do hijack our brains to use these tools for the subconscious reward, rather than to truly improve our lives in some way.

With prevalent awareness of the issue, thoughtful design, and a change in financial incentives for platform makers I think we can come away from this crazy time of intrusive, subconscious-altering social media with just the good parts.

> In Java, if you have an expression e, you can replace any sub expression, x, with another y, that has the same denotation, without changing the denotation of e.

Well of course, as long as you make the denotation fine grained enough! Any language is referentially transparent if every expression is only denotationally equal to itself. The point is that Haskell's equational theory is very rich and Java's isn't. From there we conclude that Haskell's is more useful. Whether it's useful enough is another issue, but claiming the Java is referentially transparent is almost vacuous.

:-) You haven't driven around SF much perhaps? But notice he said "almost" not "did" so clearly he is leaving enough space to avoid collisions.

The interesting thing for me at various demos has been the car/pedestrian relationship thing. Many humans won't slow for pedestrians unless they are clearly coming off the sidewalk and into the traffic lane, and even then some of them won't slow if they feel like they will be past them before the pedestrian would intersect with their car. Robo cars on the other hand immediately slow down when their algorithms suggest that the human might be about to cross the street.

Because of this, another human driver won't expect the car ahead to slow suddenly because of the loitering pedestrian (expected behavior of another human driver) and so will be "surprised" by the braking of the car in front of them. There will be a moment of cognitive dissonance while the human is trying to normalize their perception that slowing down is not 'normal' and the fact that the car ahead is now rapidly approaching their front bumper. At which point the impending collision overrides the dissonance with a self preservation reaction to brake hard and stop.
The thing is we're not even using rails, it's a simple Sinatra app with ActiveRecord, so there's not much being loaded that's not being used. Could be the ActiveRecord itself is the problem though.
The surprising part to me is that it's only 3/4. I assume the rest are not doing any real analytics.

Of course they are using 3rd party tools, because the software and infrastructure required to do meaningful analytics on a large user base is way beyond what any startup or independent developer can afford to invest. There aren't even decent Open Source options - Google Analytics long ago sucked the air out of Open Source in this space and choosing Open Source means running your own infrastructure, which is non-trival the moment you start having Gigabytes+ of usage data.

In some sense, a dollar is a dollar, so sure.

However, overhead rates are supposed to cover expenses that are related to the research and difficult to parcel out. For example, ordinary janitorial work is funded by overhead because it's not obvious how much (e.g.) bathroom use is attributable to each individual research project. Similarly, the library, admin staff, etc all facilitate specific research projects, but in a fairly diffuse way.

Although you could try to make the same argument for seminar series (it improves the overall intellectual tenor of the place), I doubt it would fly because it's not essential to any specific project. There are insanely specific rules--negotiated between the government and each university--about what and how much can be charged to specific accounts.

I'll add my anecdote: my family and I visited friends in California this past summer for vacation. We visited the local Fry's and I saw these and picked up a pair. Our friends' oldest son was mildly interested, but didn't see the appeal. We looked at the peripherals on the boards and decided to make a remote sensing thermometer that we'd put in the freezer. Literally 15 minutes later, we had built working code in the block editor for both components (the broadcasting thermometer, sending the latest temperature once a second, and the receiver which showed the data) We popped it in the freezer and watched as the temperature slowly creeped down to below freezing. He was amazed that we could build something like that so quickly. Our friends went out and purchased their own micro:bits the next day :)
I think you're underestimating how much discipline it can take to stay healthy. Don't get me wrong, daily routine is super important, and you are more likely to consistently do something you enjoy, but I do believe our world is optimized for laziness and our default mode is one consisting of Netflix and cookies (in most of the US, at least).

I've consistently gone to the gym/played sports and stayed in relatively good shape for the past 15 years. I love how working out makes me feel, and I am a happier person because of it. BUT, just about every time I make the decision to go to the gym, there is another part of me that badly just wants to stay home or do something easier instead. I still have to actively fight that urge.

Just want to say this because I think some people might feel like they should give up if they don't want to actively go work out. Sometimes you just have to push through that feeling.

Amazon Transcribe – Accurate Speech to Text at Scale
Having done multiple K8s migrations, I can tell you that many of the problems around migrating to k8s have little to do with actually setting up the cluster. There's dockerizing all your apps, setting up the build->deploy pipeline for each app, and fixing all the hardcoded hacks where your apps aren't properly 12-factor (failing to take config from env vars, assuming you "always" deploy to a specific cloud, etc).

The other main component of my time in a k8s engagement revolves around logging, monitoring, alerting and backups of the k8s cluster, which hopefully EKS handles for you.

All told, actually starting the k8s cluster is probably less than 10% of my time.
This is a really one size fits all statement to make. I don't have data to support this but I would bet that the vast majority of startups don't have billion dollar potential. Also, it's probably more accurate to replace "engineers" with "employees". Again no data and depends on the business, but of the first 10 employees, on average maybe 5 of them are engineers? Lastly, I doubt that 10 is the right threshold. 20 at a minimum sounds more reasonable to me.

This changes your statement to "Those first 20 employees sometimes potentially make or break a billion dollar business".

I agree with the point that employees could receive more equity, but if the average right now is .15%, that's over a 13x increase to 2%. Which seems completely unrealistic and not warranted given the above.

Except that we have the value of hindsight and presumably an advanced understanding of risk.

Back then it might have been perfectly acceptable to throw a bunch of horses and cars together and risk them crashing into each other.

Today it should be unacceptable to throw automated cars in with human drivers and put the onus on the humans to alter their innate understanding of 100 years of traffic flow.

Your comment is cheeky and annoyingly inapplicable.
Not sure I understand what you mean.

You can set your Instagram to private and even if friends from Facebook see that you have an account there they can't just view your content. They'd need to send a follow request to do that.

IG can easily still be a private space. I don't accept everyone who's on my friends list from Facebook.

e: Also, while it's potentially more work there's nothing stopping you from having multiple accounts on Instagram. The UI is actually pretty simple when it comes to swapping between more than one as needed.

"As Exodus and Yale note, these trackers are almost certainly also present in iOS: the companies that make them advertise their iOS compatibility, for one thing. But iOS is DRM-locked and it’s a felony – punishable by a 5-year prison sentence and a $500,000 fine for a first offense in the USA under DMCA 1201, and similar provisions of Article 6 of the EUCD in France where Exodus is located – to distribute tools that bypass this DRM, even for the essential work of discovering whether billions of people are at risk due to covert spying from the platform."

There is an interesting article by Dan Kaplan on "Why Snapchat is Losing To Facebook And The Strategy It Can Use To Win" [1]. It is an amazing read for anyone interested.

In the post, the author outlines a strategy which Snap can use to regain its relevance and importance in the social space. The author mentions how Snap can rebrand itself as a "self-expression company" that respects users' humanity.

Interesting to see Snap taking steps in this direction.

I think you are pointing out a legitimate dichotomy that exists, but you are incorrectly labeling them as "left" and "right". This is orthogonal to the left-right spectrum. There are examples of both of those positions on both the left and the right. For example, for the first one, there would be Stalinism on the far left and absolute monarchy on the far right. For the second one, there is anarchism of the far left and anarcho-capitalism on the far right.

Sorry, I flipped values on you - I meant capacity more than speed. Drives are still doubling in capacity at roughly the same rate, ditto with RAM, and also buses. "Speed" is still improving, but as you point out, not in a raw "2x faster every 18 months" manner. All of that extra space and throughput results in zippier machines, in practice. Sure the RAM isn't faster, but being able to keep me 20+ tabs I seem to chronically have open makes everything faster because I'm not swapping from drive. My games load faster because they are sucking more from disk through fatter buses, and the additional latency isn't noticeable then.
