My sister is in college and works at Starbucks.

She and a group of her coworkers delivered coffee to one of their offices in Santa Monica.

Their last major update really upset a lot of people, so when my younger sister ran into a Product Manager, she chatted with him and mentioned the update.

His response was, change is good, deal with it.

It really rubbed me the wrong way on multiple levels. 1) You're being a asshole, 2) you're being an asshole to your key demographic, and 3) I agree with her, the new update sucks.

There is an odd feeling I get about Snapchat, it's almost as if they are successful despite themselves.

Most? No. There's a lot of workers in our field that are here as non-natives but they are not the majority group. The majority group are fully fledged citizens who do not have this issue to deal with.

That's a really interesting comparison. I've worked at Microsoft and got an offer from Google and found the opposite to be true. I was first offered by the team I interned with, whom I liked, and accepted, so I knew where I was going.

On the Google case, even being an industry hire, it was like pulling teeth to figure out where the offer actually was, and who I would be working for, and being able to actually speak with them (as your manager is key to success). I was also told during the interview that they just interview you in general at Google, not for a particular team, which was also unsettling.

Most people are just going to go to the barbecue aisle and find the "safe" brushes. Someone really determined to buy a wire brush might find the rust-scrapers or something, but that's no different from paint thinner not being sold as a household cleaner.

It makes sense to me to make the safe option into the easiest, most obvious path to take. Stop labeling wire brushes as "barbecue brushes", and stop stocking them directly alongside the cooking tools. That's the form I imagine a ban would take.

They do this every single quarter.
There's a reason they got up to 1000 a week right before the end of last quarter, and then dipped back down for months after that. The headline is either going to be that they're on track or that they're not, their stock price is going to be greatly affected one way or the other.
The two year salary metric is very strange in my opinion. I've quit jobs and taken time off without anywhere near two years of savings.

JPEG is a compressed format; it intentionally sacrifices quality for smaller size. It still has its uses, but it should never be used where image quality is the primary concern. There are many widely-adopted alternatives that suit other purposes and have no data loss. One alternative, PNG, is supported everywhere that matters, but there are plenty of others.

Is it really that simple? Just changing a resistor value? I got an XPS 13 for work, it’s all USB-C, and the versatility of the port is fantastic (doesn’t matter which port I plug into, it still charges, so I don’t have to wrap the power cable around the back of the machine or sit in a weird position to keep some slack in the wire). However, I took it to the office and naturally I plugged my power adapter into one port. I then plugged in the monitor (also USB-C, delivering power), and the two ports cancelled themselves out and confused the OS. Windows thought I was charging the laptop yet it also said the battery was depleting. They were negating each other and the battery loss continued as it would with no power connected.

It makes sense for a monitor to power the laptop because it’s mains connected. But then you have one of those classic programming problems: if there are multiple inputs providing the same thing which do you consider the source of truth?

Leica still makes a monochrome model of their M cameras, the current one features a 24 mp cmos sensor based on the M(240). It is expected that there will be a monochrome camera based on the current M10 in about a year. They are excellent cameras with a stunning resolution, if you are into B/W photography.
I worked in insurance that kind of increases do work (for the insurer), but we did it in the "boiling the frog slowly" way so there was no 40% trigger to wake you up.

We had little churn, if you stayed a customer after a slight rise, 90% stayed for the next slow rise.
Everyone and their mother will soon have a streaming service. I predict eventually there will be some streaming conglomerate to allow you to pick and choose streaming providers (Netflix, Hulu, NBC, etc.) with a single sign-on. Right before they package them up as bundles, and we have Cable Company 2.0.
Great stuff. I appreciated being educated about TPC-C, and the whole spirit of not focusing on vanity benchmarks!

I had the same problem until I realized this is actually a distro problem. Most distros focus very much on making the installing and configuring "easy" (still leaving much room for debate), but in turn make their system so rigid that it's pretty much unthinkable to fix lower-level problems during updates. Often, the software they package is ancient, which also doesn't help.

If you're interested in avoiding that, try a rolling-release distro (updating frequently) with good documentation and a sane low-level setup.
It’s a cult, inside and out. People believe because they want to believe, and because they have faith in Elon Musk. I don’t hate Tesla, and SpaceX is downright exciting, but I also have no particular faith in Elon Musk. Tesla in particular is in some pretty hot financial water with no obvious way out. The whole Hyperloop thing is disappointing to see taken seriously, and it’s hard to ignore just how rich Musk gets while he works peons to the bone.

Now an “us vs them” spiel? Cult.

That's your own personal opinion. I'm not going to argue with that, but there's objective differences between how cattle are slaughtered and how matadors make a spectacle of torturing and killing a bull. Whether either is morally justifiable is a different question.
Cool, can you link the report here when you do?
I find the only people whose eyes go wide almost popping out of their head are younger people just entering the workforce whom may have never met someone who works at a big company whose products they use everyday (or recruiters I guess). It's like you're a celebrity to them. Hell, some of these kids used to get pumped when I was telling them I was merely heading to some Apple conference or Google I/O.

No one with experience in the industry gives two shits even if you worked at Facebook, Google and Apple, because they have no illusions about what it means to work there or what it must say about you.
I have had the exact opposite experience.

The first thing I was asked when I interviewed with Microsoft was what I wanted to do and what I wanted to avoid. I said, no frontend, something related to distributed systems and they put me up for interviews with an Azure team.

With Google, it was like "interview first, accept the offer before knowing where you are going to be placed, and we will put you in some team".

It is only valuable on the blockchain if its cost to maintain is less than, say, a mid-sized country worth of electricity.

Imagine how much simpler and faster a runtime could be if every function was split into a series of non interruptible blocks. Sure, a bit tricky with loops, you'd have to cap them to make sure they are not hogging the system and you don't introduce too much overhead. But small price to pay for not wasting years of man-hours on silly low level stuff and barely achieving usable results.

Regarding point 2 - that is only traditional within the last 75 years for the modernized west; prior to that it was the upper class which had such ideations regarding children.

Most cultures historically have expected children to work and contribute - work and play intermingled, and then at a point, they were graduated to primarily contributions.

I wouldn't get too peturbed about children working.

n.b., exploitation is a different thing, I want to make clear. But historically, children contributing is a thing, and it was not an evil.
Leica never made a monochrome camera based on the M8, but both on the M9 and the M(240). The latter is current. A monochrome version of the M10 is espected to eventually arrive.
Leica cameras might be pricy, but they are excellent photography tools. You might get higher res cameras from the competition, but for example the M is special with its small size and excellent lenses.

Ah, so now SpaceX has been designated a "single achievement" (not a vast range of achievements over 16 years), and the singular "SpaceX" is apparently also the only thing Elon Musk has ever done. Is that what you're saying?
I didn't get that either.

Surely if you work somewhere like that you're pretty employable and not in the middle or nowhere. Why not just go work elsewhere for a bit while you work out what you really want to do next?

> > Tesla has accomplished something no other automaker can claim: It's made a relatively affordable electric car.

That quote doesn't even make sense. The Model 3 isn't even the cheapest all electric car...

The Smart Fortwo Electric ($26K), Nissan LEAF ($29K), Volkswagen e-Golf ($30K), and Mitsubishi i-MiEV ($23K).

So Tesla is the only automaker that can claim they made a "relatively affordable electric car" by producing one that's more expensive and has sold fewer units? I do not understand.
Isn't that BS anyways? What about the leaf and volt?
What you say is completely true. If you were an intern at Microsoft you can be pretty sure you're returning to that team (unless there's a reorganization). With Google you have no idea what team you'll end up on when you're evaluating an offer.

However, once you accept a Google offer you're given more choice as to what team you'll be on. With Microsoft (if you weren't a returning intern) you're given very little to no choice and it can be quite arbitrary where you end up.

Certainly both of these systems have massive flaws, but I think the Microsoft system would lead to far lower retention for non-intern college hires.

>You summed it up right there. Consumers cannot be reasonably expected to clean to the level of a commercial operation.

"to the level of a commercial operation" just means actually washing it, not just scraping the hard stuff off and calling it good. It is not labor intensive on a per item basis nor is there any special equipment involved.

>There is often, at best, tiny legalese text on the packaging about the bristles being a hazard.

Which is enough as far as I care. The physical characteristics that make the bristles do their job also makes them hazardous to ingest. It's the same as a knife needing to be sharp.

The difference is that the frying pan in that hypothetical example requires expensive specialized equipment that consumers do not typically have in order be used properly.

That's good, because you should lose the mindset that salary is equal to spending in a hurry!

Savings that lasts two years accounts for all of your expenses over a two year period. Yes, if you need medical insurance, and it was supplied by your employer, it no longer will be, and you need to factor that into your expenses.

These are good anecdotes to share. A few years ago when I was a Microsoft college hire I got my impression from gathering anecdotes from others, but maybe it's better now!
