> The executive apologized and said he would take my feedback under consideration.

Wow software 'entrepreneurs' are really pathetic sometimes. This is not the normal cutthroat business that normally happens in the real world... So the Facebook executive apologised for giving OP a generous offer to buy their startup which Facebook doesn't even need anymore? Sounds like charity to me. OP is a spoiled brat in my opinion. Based on my experience, what should have happened is the executive should have laughed at him all the way to the door for being so foolish/arrogant.

Now you understand why Facebook is full of entitled jerks... They acquihired them.

Hey man! Two things:

1) Complexity: While this is more for dynamic UIs than full timelined animations, it has full compatibility with every Popmotion animation like Keyframes https://popmotion.io/api/keyframes, so you can do pretty involved stuff

2) DOM-only: My biggest lesson writing Popmotion is people just want easy stuff. So for this initial release I just wanted to concentrate on the DOM. It allows me to offer things like FLIP and leverage my other libraries (Stylefire/Popmotion) which I know are small and fast. That isn't to say there'll never be native support, just that I didn't have time to do that in a month of my spare time.
And SESTA/FOSTA will apply to them too. It's a horrible set of laws.

I'd read books that contain case studies of systemic phenomena. Like books on evolution (I'd recommend those by Dawkins and Dennett) or economics (even something like the Planet Money podcast). Reading about specific cases is good for honing your intuitions about systems, which is important for being able to think in systemic terms.

Equifax and Facebook may have PR black eyes right now, but they have made a shitload of money with their data and they continue to make money.

It's going to be really hard to convince businesses that data is a liability when the costs of data problems have not typically come anywhere close to offsetting the revenue made with that data.

Data might be better thought of like a type of inventory, in that it is an asset on the balance sheet, but has costs and risk that must be managed very carefully to maximize profitability. Because these costs and risks show up in the paperwork, manufacturers work to minimize their inventory even though it is technically an asset.

Or maybe another way to think about it might be a hazardous natural material, like oil or mine tailings. Accidental release is always a PR problem, but the only way direct costs are imposed on the business is via lawsuits or a regulatory enforcement regime. Otherwise the public just soaks up the costs of the breach.

Ultimately I think that the way data enables revenue is a new thing in business and although we can find analogies, the best way of accounting (I mean in the technical financial sense) for data is yet to be determined. I just think it's unlikely to be considered a straight liability.
In that case they have a passion for making money ;)

That’s what motivated them to learn. I doubt that’s what causes them to stay. If it is tho... That’s enough.
> By using keys other than enter, I can copy, rename, delete, e-mail, pack, etc. that de-whatever directory. Each of the operations would take just a couple extra key presses.

The shell also uses keys other than enter; in fact, the enter is only use once per command :)

Some will be more efficient, others will be less. Copying a file in the same directory, for example, means pressing the first letters of its name, then CTRL+C, then CTRL+V, then F2 (or whatever "rename" is bound to), then the new name, then Enter. In the shell, it's "cp ", then the first letters, then Tab, then the new name, then Enter. Not really that different.

> How easy is gonna be to write a command for that alias that does same as “{Alt}+(F7 r t) something {enter}” in the above GUI?

From what I can tell, that operation does the equivalent of "grep -R something ." no? Why would that be hard to write an alias for?

> The GUI supports zip, rar, tar.gz, cab, and many others out of the box, plus plugins for other archives (I only have 7-zip).

You can use 7z on the shell to do the same. Why would you think that's specific to the presentation mode?

You keep insisting on discussing the overall merits of the shell vs GUI. I told I'm not interested in that, I was only disagreeing with a specific point. Yes, the GUI is more discoverable, I already wrote "no argument there".

> a founder CEO couldn't learn their way up the scale

OK, but many (most, if others' claims in this thread are to be believed) of them don't do so. That contradicts your original claim, unless you want to say that many/most CEOs are not "reasonably smart", which is dubious at best and armchair quarterbacking at worst.
That's cute, considering that the first thing you did when we left Gaza was elect Hamas as your government (and even if you claim their subsequent strength is through force- ranks are filled from local militia and the common people.)

Here's a quote from the official charter[1]:

"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem)"

Honestly, it's not even worth debating. The "palestinian" hatred of Jews and Israel has been proven time and time again through war when you can afford it and terrorist attacks when you can't.

You even have _children's programs_ pushing the hatred in the most disgusting way possible[2].

That's not even getting into politics (Arafat was born in Egypt) nor religion (so we have no right to practice Torah - which has specific laws about governing Israel).

I'm not pissed because you hate us. I'm pissed because places like California are so obsessed with equality and liberalism that they swallow BS like "Palestinians have nothing against Jews", simply because it fits into their worldview- despite it having no basis in reality (sadly enough).

Shame on you HackerNews. You're smarter than this.

It would also be interesting to see why you're so motivated to find excuses for Facebook and to whitewash the damning facts. Facebook employee? Family financial interests in the ad industry? Concerned citizen? Bored?

Let me explain some simple things:

* this scandal (without scare quotes) is an issue because many people have finally realised that Facebook has a ton of information about them and they can't be trusted to handle that information properly.

* it's not just about ad targeting, it's about all the possible ways information can be misused too: stalking, blackmail, fraud, trolling, circumventing various constitutional protections, identity theft etc, etc.

* your assertion that it's impossible to to influence specific outcomes because of the impossibility to accurately target is... wrong. There were many account included in the CA data set, there were and are other data sets and even if they can't target those people with ads, they can probably send them an e-mail, give them a call or send someone to their house.

* people do have responsibility for what they post, but when their information is stored forever and combined with massive quantities of other collected and bought information the entity doing the above has a lot of power and a lot of responsibility too.

Wait, it does? I thought one of the unique aspects of ripple was that all of the coins were pre-mined so the supply is finite. Right?
Right now I'm working on a suite of tools for calendar/schedule/to-dos, money expense tracker, etc. All for myself because the available tools are either too bloated, or don't have the features I need, or cost too much.

So look at all the tools and apps you use and think of the moments you thought "It sure would be cool if it could do this instead of this or if this looked different" and build your own. I feel like this method is especially good for someone just starting out because you can take inspiration from other software and don't have to build everything from the ground up.

Or maybe browse GitHub and see if there are some open source projects you could contribute to. :) If you see something you like, look if there are open issues and try to fix them.

If you have two posed components:

You can currently use props like `delayChildren` to orchestrate between them: https://popmotion.io/pose/learn/animating-children/#animatin...

Except when you want to keep the italics that are already inside the quote.

It's also clear that people expect some kind of markup, which is why they often mistake fixed-width markup for quote markup.
Heh, is not that easy. The reason is simple: high resolution. iirc, for example, Netflix uses h.265 for 2k+ resolutions. They don't even allow 2k+ on hardware that do not have h.265 hardware decoder for that reason.

YouTube 4k also just use VP9 iirc. No H.264.
Over here the labels are 'junior', 'medior' and 'senior'.

They are primarily used as a pay-scale indicator. It's not that recruiters are dumb and looking for fresh graduates with 3 years of industrial work experience, it is that they are looking for people with 3 years of experience that will accept working in the 'junior' pay-scale knowing that it will be 2-3 years before they move up to the 'medior' payscale.

Many/most companies in the IT industry fail to have a decent technical 'ladder', so upping the 'label' once every two years while basically not changing the job is way of pretending that your developers are having a 'career'.

Traditional 'entry level' does not exist at most places as the bulk of companies don't want to pay for the training/mentoring phase. Too much overhead given the projected short career span.
How about a source that disproves it entirely instead?

It's a two edged sword. As we decentralized, we create a bigger opportunity for 'bad players' to take advantage of individual sectors. Decentralized services also means deregulated or at least unregulated applications. Remember the salad days of Napster?

I'm not calling for a centralize regulating board. We need individuals and groups to be informed and inform consumers what they are getting into. Those same consumers have to be personally responsible for their actions. Otherwise, we will slip in totalitarian in a very short time.

Not a comparison I would choose. He has a pretty good track record of producing a few dozen rockets a year. You could be generous and say a few hundred rocket engines a year. A comedian might say he has the same track record with cars - ba dum - tish!

Tesla's inability to quickly ramp up Model 3 production is pretty much one of those "fact" things at this point. The same goes for every model they've brought out, it's taken a long time to get decent production rates on any of them. So this isn't so much predicting problems he's going to have, but explaining the causes of all the problems they've already had and are having right now.

However this was completed and running in 2011, and uses salts with a starting at about 200 deg C and capping out at 500 deg C (You can have molten salts staring around deg 50C today). I wonder what a project at this scale could achieve a decade later.

But yeah, seems more likely to be PV at this investment price (assuming this will be the total for the project, which I kind of doubt, but I dont know how much costs will inflate to), would be great to get more details about what they are proposing.

There's nothing wrong with "Senior".

Lots of years of experience translate to having a proven track record of delivered value, along with management skills and experience of failure, things that can't be substituted by talent or knowledge acquired from reading about the works of others.

> a person with 3-4 years of experience to be a "Very Good Engineer"

Not the same thing — this is actually the same problem as with hiring practices that people love to hate. Good college degrees, open source contributions, algorithmic exercises during the interview, etc... are all designed to prove your worth. People don't like you for what you are, because you have to show them what you're capable of first. And with 3-4 years of experience, you can slap that "Master" label on your job title, but without being able to show something for it, people will just laugh at you.

Also this trend of disrespecting the elderly is nothing new. Ageism is a thing and your opinion is actually in line with what the entire world is already thinking. Younger means cheaper, more prone to abuse, to working long hours and for many tasks just as capable as a more expensive senior.

Of course, this is beneficial to young people, but the tragedy is that it doesn't last. You'll be playing a whole different tune in 5 years max, either because you'll end up competing with people that are 5 to 10 years younger and cheaper, or because the bubble will finally burst due to automation, leaving this sea of STEM graduates out of a job, just like steel workers in the nineties. We are automating ourselves as part of our job description, so it should be no surprise when it happens.
i think you mean humble brag. not even a good one.
EVEN AS A COLLEGE STUDENT I'm not going to do your coding assessment for free.

And yeah, I have a job in software development.
