"I like having multiple clients over one employer. I like that there are no “interviews,” just my own confidence and sales skills to pitch proposals to clients. I like the autonomy, the lifestyle."

I agree the comments on salary are ridiculous, but the last paragraph implies heavily that you are not actually a "good culture fit" for a non-consulting job.
I'm going into get-off-my-lawn mode here if you don't mind. I don't see why this requires a new-fangled technology or buzzword. Just have a status code(s) or indicator(s) on a given request. The client side or requesting service(s) can periodically check on the status using polling and/or user status update requests. For example, poll automatically every 2 minutes (to avoid flooding the network), but give user the option of clicking a button to check current status.

Give the requester an option of a time-limit, if applicable. If the process takes too long, the status changes to "timed-out". The client/requester can then issue a "re-submit" request, if applicable.

The technique is pretty much the same whether using ESB, microservices, Stored Procedures, or carrier pigeons.
A good balance between highly technical and creatively designed is to write your resume with TeX.
He knew how to stay on message, and he knew that saying "our SDK will probably be released in alpha form in a year and be somewhat stable in two years" was off message.

Reminds me of “we couldn’t get the fingerprint sensor under the screen working, so we had to quickly come up with an alternate authentication method, and that required this hideous notch” vs “Face ID is the newest, best thing ever.”

They still try to hide it when things don’t go their way.
I haven't received obscure python error messages in awhile... but then that was because I switched to odrive as a sync client, about two years back. Really, Google Drive the website and storage service are both amazing, but the client apps? Not so much... At least they've a clear API (fourth gen now?) so third party apps are easily supported.
You still have the egress fees if you're using another cloud provider. But as a general drive solution with an S3 clone, yeah it does seem possible.
I agree that this definitely looks like the play - Google's "Prime" service. I only hope that they choose a more reasonable strategy for migrating users to it as they expand features. YouTube Red can become part of a Google One tier for new users with older users grandfathered. Integration of existing user bases can happen later.

Storage is a cheap benefit to provide for the average user who won't use it all. YouTube Red is already $9.99 - just add the 2TB Drive option for free and starting selling everyone on the Google One branding. Please don't screw this up?
Sure, but I was asking about the legal reasoning supporting the opinion, not just the facts of the case.
You mean how Alex and Corsi are now striking back after Q called them out for being money grabbing attention whores playing controlled op who's goal is to discredit valid grassroots truth movements by associating them with insane conspiracy theories? Pretty obvious why they feel the need to team up and discredit Q now... Not that I am picking a side, I don't think any of them are trustworthy.

>petition the government and seek restitution for the harmful propaganda being spread on American citizens

What government agency is sponsoring this PSYOP, do you think?

From your essay:

>as I reported George Webb and the statements to the FBI a week before the port closure. The memories of inaction by the government in order to stop them has impacted me everyday

Kinda like how the FBI was alerted to the 911 hijackers but refused to investigate and in fact went to great lengths (by Mueller) to cover this up. Or how people were reporting the Parkland shooter for months on end to the FBI and they again "failed to act?" What do you think the "deep state" is, and how do they operate?

>You deserve compensation if you've been impacted by a psychological operation

This is the most hilarious part, and really shows how shallow you understanding of all of this is. Literally every single American, then, deserves this. What do you think the mainstream media does exactly? What was/is Operation Mockingbird?

>I believe that I have provided enough ample evidence to convince you that there is something weird with these people

Other people have analyzed these individuals and come to more thorough conclusions than you have. Are you not happy with their conclusions, or do you not know about then?

What agency do you think they belong to, and why do you think they are domestic?
Moreover, adding to the confusion, it is (Google) ONE for (Google) DRIVE
Sure, the point is frustrating the govt’s attempt at better data means that they might have to revert to one of the options you posed which would be contrary to the goals sought by those objecting to google’s getting involved —undercutting their own argument.
>> Pretty sure murder was punished with death, as one example.

Depends on social classes of the murderer and the victim.

If peasant killed a noble it was punishable by death. And sometimes they would also torture said peasant before killing him, because the death alone wasn't enough punishment.

If a noble killed peasant they would typically only need to pay a small fine (unless the peasant was not his own subject, in which case instead of fine they would pay retribution to peasant's lord for the "lost income")

This was my first thought as well. Not a bad way to go about it, too. Maybe they'll get some data about which knowledge base articles aren't helpful, too.

I wish that they somehow include the Youtube Red or equivalent in the same Google One plan. I'm willing to pay $5-10/month for it.
> perhaps the bank could issue paper receipts that are backed by said bitcoin, and those pieces of paper could circulate instead of using the blockchain.

Feel free to use them, I won't. There's no point when Bitcoin is so simple to move.

> What I don't understand is if fiat currencies are so bad, why do people express the value of bitcoin in a fiat currency (like USD)?

Because it's one of the most practical things to measure against, because almost everything is also measured against it?

I don't get this argument, if I say a car is worth $20k that means the car is actually worthless because I'm measuring it's value in USD?

Or someone in the US saying that meters are actually a stupid and useless unit because before everyone gets used to using it you have to constantly convert it to imperial.
I doubt Carmack could be pressured into using a particular platform, but either way it's a bit of a disappointment to see a living legend use common FB as a platform for blogging.

Imagine getting the latest fascicle of TAOCP from a popular social platform instead of http://www.cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/

It reminds me of a joke comic that praises "Don Knuth's Big Dummies Guide to Visual Basic", "All practical examples you can use! No theoretical stuff! --Don"

It's not quite "DOOM's John Carmack's latest l33test Farmville hacks and tricks," but it's a little closer than I'd like it to be.

I understand the potential confusion, but do you think this has hurt the Xbox One adoption? I think it's probably possible to execute a "One" branding correctly, provided it gives the users a sort of "universal" experience ala Prime.

I imagine the doors aren't locked from the inside out, and that keying-out is a voluntary process? Otherwise, your workplace is a disaster waiting to happen. All it's going to take is the fire detection system to fail, the unlocking system to break, or the front-desk person to fall asleep on the job. Or, worse yet, there's an active shooter and no time for someone else or some thing to unlock the doors.

Yes, your area does matter. In some countries, there are requirements that your data be housed in a data center in your country. They may not have this option yet.
LibreCores is pretty active, even sponsoring several Google Summer of Code projects:

Poke around the website and see if there is a project that interests you. Get on their mailing list and ask questions, they are a pretty friendly bunch.
> They could have done what they did in the alcohol situation (or many others) and said ‘if you don’t make sports betting illegal you don’t get law enforcement money from the feds’ or something like that.

I believe that there is a requirement that the money the Federal government threatens to withhold has to be for things related to the thing the Federal government wants the state to regulate.

The purported motivation for the Federal government wanting the drinking age to be 21 is to increase highway safety, so they can tie Federal highway funds to drinking age via highway safety.

This is also why most of the Federal aid cuts that the current administration threatened so-called "sanctuary" cities with did not worry the cities. Most of them were not in areas that could reasonably be tied to enforcing immigration law.

I would guess that most Federal law enforcement aid is for things sufficiently unrelated to sports gambling related crime that conditioning it on states changing sport betting laws would not fly.
Little-known Soviet mission to rescue a dead space station
Were the development teams of Apple Mail, iOS Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird contacted about this and given time to fix their issues before publication? The page makes no mention of this. It makes it look that this wasn't disclosed responsibly.
The distances are literally astronomical. Mars isn't just next door. It isn't like the moon where we can talk almost in real time.

Consider it like running. How far can you run in 1 second. That's the Moon. How far can you run in 21 minutes. That's Mars. It's 1260 times the distance.

Interesting project. With ARIN effectively out of IPv4 space, where do you get IPs from for a new ISP? Does it have to be transferred/purchased from an existing block? I am assuming you are setting up IPv6 as well for your customers, are you deploying some sort of CGNAT?
...so that was where Williams F1 got their idea from!

The last 'failed flywheel' project that I know of is the Williams F1 solutions for 'KERS' - kinetic energy something system...

This system lost out to normal batteries in F1 and Williams sold on their flywheel business to GKN. GKN now sell the Williams flywheel solution for things like buses.

For a while Porsche 911 style cars (RS-whatever) had the Williams flywheel, this took up the passenger seat so you could be sat next to one of the things in your roll cage, with helmet and flameproof suit on. That project died a death.

Before anything was known of the Williams system I was 'hoping' it would be entirely mechanical, no electrons needed. However, their solution was electric so the motor driving the wheels could go in re-gen mode and another motor/generator in the flywheel pack spun the flywheel up to speed.

The Williams system never exploded and there were no safety concerns, which is of note as F1 (thanks to Jackie Stewart) is extremely safety aware.
If you want to say something and be understood, use words in a commonly-used language: English. Using icons is, effectively inventing new words. Nobody has seen those words before: they are the designer's private language.

I was going to write a long and detailed post about how so many of these things are so very wrong from a technical standpoint, but basically, let me sum up the recruiting industry in a single quote from this material:

> Watch for spelling and grammar. [..] After conducting my own A/B tests on this matter, the data showed that candidates who had untidy resumes faired less (sic!) than those with well written ones.

Edit: I was going to write a longer post about what I am more interested in seeing as an engineer who does the interviewing. But most of it was obvious stuff. Instead, here's what I don't look at:

- What libraries you used. Languages, maybe -- libraries? If you're past junior level, I expect you'll be able to pick up a complex one, in a field you're familiar with, in a week or two.

- Length of past tenures. I gave favourable feedback for a lot of kids who, early in their careers, left from two or three jobs in a row because they were hired by large companies who then proceeded to give them completely uninteresting work that was entirely below their programming skills, without any mentoring, any meaningful source of professional growth and any timeframe for when they'll get to do some actual programming. I'm talking kids who, fresh out of school, could write a decent kernel driver, but were asked to write automated tests for REST APIs. I was never wrong about this.

- Hackatons, coding competitions and the like. The former are entirely unverifiable. I've seen plenty of people claiming they went to this hackathon and wrote this application that could potentially solve the problem of water crisis in Africa, using advanced GIS algorithms and numerical optimization and machine learning and whatnot. One of them even showed me the app on their phone. Then they don't know how to iterate through a list or find the race condition in three lines of code which contain literally nothing but a function name, an initialization, and a race condition. Copy-pasting from Stack Overflow is a useful skill to have when it sits on top of other skills. The latter tend to be completely unrelated to programming in the real world.

- The length of the resume. If you have enough relevant experience to fill four pages of resume, then write four damn pages of resume. A one-page resume that drops three pages of relevant stuff will put you in the same basket as someone who can barely fill that page. It's not ballast, it's stuff I can ask you about in an interview.

- Layout creativity, cleanliness, typography, visual identity and the like. Pick a CV template for Word (or, if you want me to instantly like you, LaTeX). This is Andrew S. Tanenbaum's resume: https://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/home/cv.pdf . When you can sport one that's more impressive than his in terms of content, look into making it pretty, too.
Still, if containment is violated somehow, it's a LOT of power for fire/explosion. These flywheels are much smaller, by comparison.

The tank of gas in a car probably has over 400kwh of energy. How much will these flywheels contain, considering a full charge for an electric car is on the order of 100kwh (electric cars are more efficient than internal combustion)? The energy of two or three tanks of gasoline is enough to get several charges out before needing to spin up the flywheel again.
next time you feel like the only sane person in the room/interview/review, you really should consider the possibility that you are correct

I've been amazed by how often this is true, especially in the world of "startup CULTure". When I was naive and fresh out of college, I assumed that people who made it into management or into executive leadership did so because they knew what they were doing. That couldn't be farther from the case.
There are so many companies run by people who are borderline insane, and so many people who will just blindly follow them through their nightmare.

In contrast, there are great people and companies to work for if you put in the effort to find them. I will say that the whole tech recruitment industry has made that harder though as you have people who are financially incentivized to get you hired and tell you whatever bullshit you want to hear even if they know you will be miserable in that position and that 90% of that information is false.
That probably was a solid wheel, right? Modern flywheels are usually made of carbon or glass fiber and have much simpler failure modes. They just break if anything goes wrong, not rolling anywhere.
I worked for someone who had most of those traits. However, he wasn't Steve Jobs. When I last looked at his LinkedIn, he had a long string of positions which had lasted 12-18 months until (I presume) reality caught up with him at each.
For a long time, the default in many grocery stores in NYC (where the typical method of getting your groceries home is on foot, a bag in each hand) was a paper bag (for strength and structure) inside a plastic bag (for handles).
The optimized ABI doesn’t depend on there being one error type for everything. Ideally it should be usable for any function parameter or return of a type that can handle being moved with memcpy - not just errors. And indeed, in the current Clang implementation you can stick [[trivial_abi]] on any class.
If true, that's great news. There are plenty of decent cli/desktop clients that make it easy to avoid html mail. Not so for Android, where apps seem likely to wrap some rich content control in order to render text (as html).
It's portrayed very well in the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. Wozniak says it's an accurate portrayal of personalities, unlike movies glorifying Jobs. One of my favorites is the scene where Gates and Jobs meet.

Again, that might be true of Roman Catholic monasteries. However, Orthodox worship is more “active”. First of all, worshipers stand during services, there are no pews except a handful of chairs for the elderly or infirm. Secondly, monks are expected to sing the sung portions of the liturgy (there is no choir at a monastery, they are the choir) and to perform all of the many genuflections involved. I have occasionally seen 1–2 monks in their dotage being permitted to sit and doze during prayers, but everyone else is expected to remain awake and do everything that needs to be done.
How is being poor an excuse for throwing your trash in the river?
A cart, a horse and you have a garbage truck. Add some plot of land where you can dump the garbage and you have the mvp of a garbage management system. I'm having a hard time believing these countries can't afford such a simple system.

Naming the problem is step one in fixing it. Our efforts are better focused helping these countries fix their garbage problem. That won't happen if everyone here keeps thinking we are the origin of all that ocean plastic.

Is this still bay area only or are you ready to expand to other areas?
I agree. If it is their attempt at "Prime", they're going to have a much harder time of it than Amazon, since they already have so many different subscriptions and price points. It'll be interesting to see how they try to manage it.

Not only that, but they'll have to decide where the borders of the subscription are—is YouTube a separate entity, and thus should keep it's own subscription model? or is it too valuable and thus should be part of Google One? Either direction will have complexity issues, either in continuing to have too many different subscriptions, or in trying to capture value with too many orthogonal benefits in a single pricing system.
Something is wrong with those numbers. I suspect it's the 360MW-hr battery. That sounds more like a battery pack for a thousand cars.
I agree with the spirit. More precisely I especially agree that static icons cannot easily convey actions; instead they look like things which are supposed to be associated with a purpose, symbols which are usually clumsy, or combined shapes which rarely convey the intent immediately.

On the other hand I find the article slightly dishonest on a couple of points. Not because I believe the icons are particularly obvious, but because the descriptions seem to miss the point. Here goes:

> - Ok, clock now. This is universally undestood sign that could mean literally _anything_. What time is it?

The clock is associated with time. In the context of received mail, it seems quite natural that a time-related action would be setting a reminder.

> - Right-pointing rectangle? This looks most like road sign pointing to some place, but actually means TAG. Huh?

To me this obviously looks like sticky notes you can add in books or on files to categorize content, a.k.a. quite literally tags.

There likely is no average available, as coronors, undertakers, public health departments, and general statistics were poorly kept. So if rigorous comprehensive data are your requirement, you'll likely be disappointed.
