That might be true sometimes, but I've also heard about some cases that are the exact opposite [1]. There are some software engineers making high six figures (e.g. > $600k including RSUs and bonuses), and the company respects them a lot more and values their output. These engineers aren't frantically cranking out code or working 12 hour days all the time. They're often doing very important work and have to be very careful.

And I've also heard about cases where lower pay means worse employers, higher expectations, and higher levels of stress, because the company doensn't value or respect the employee as much.

Fair point ... I kind of thought it was more like everybody is in the firing line. But yeah - I can see how this could just lead to people just trying to not be the one to mess up.

In my head I was thinking of that other narcissistic megalomaniac boss Jose Mourinho, and how his style of management drew the media away from the players and allowed them to "just play".

A benefit for the top players no doubt, but I've no evidence that this was how Jobs operated ...

I agree with your sentiment, HN is notorious for armchair-quarterbacking with this subject.

Do you know of any cleantech software that take on remote workers?
Thanks for sharing your experience :)
So are they paying Intel to do that? How much? Why would Intel agree to that? Otherwise seems like a convenient cover for the aforementioned conspiracy theory…
Not sure I follow.

EDIT:
So you think it speaks well of management to check up on a very important demo the last few days of a three months preparation? And make huge changes? That should have been known long in advance. Instead of a smoke-and-mirrors demo they could have produced the real thing had Jobs communicated what he wanted from the beginning or half-way through.
There are plenty of good jobs in tech companies that require highly technical people who are not great programmers, or even programmers.

Nowadays this has bred a generation that resubmit the same work again even if you tell them specifically what’s wrong.
How many people honestly use Intels ME for managing their servers (or large desktop installations)?

I have yet to see or even hear someone defend the ME on the grounds that they use it daily. With a few SPARC servers as the exception, we have a 100+ Intel based servers and we don't feel the need for using Intels Management Engine.

I got a CS degree 15 years ago and I have never been a salaried developer, never written a line of production code.

I suggest looking into Consulting and Software Project Management.

Britain is an interesting counterpoint. Our television news is regulated by a strict code of impartiality, because of the historically limited number of broadcasters (originally just the BBC, then a single commercial broadcaster, then a proliferation of commercial channels with the dawn of satellite broadcasting). Our cultural equivalent of Fox News is the Daily Mail newspaper, because the levels of partiality shown on Fox News would be contrary to our broadcasting regulations.

The BBC has faced substantial criticism for interpreting the impartiality clause too literally - rather than representing the facts, they have a tendency to represent "both sides" of every debate, regardless of whether "both sides" are based in fact, have widespread support or are even sincerely held viewpoints. This has been particularly evident in coverage of science, where often the broad consensus of the scientific community and the views of a tiny handful of dissenters are given equal prominence. Such reports can be wholly impartial but extremely misleading.

Even if you make the hard choice between an unregulated media and "censorship", you're still faced with a fractal structure of other, more granular hard choices.

It certainly does, and although the wait lists are long here in NL, I can still recommend people who suspect they have autism to investigate it (via professionals). Its been roughly a 10 months ago since I had my diagnosis, and I learned so much ever since:

* My partner (then undiagnosed) went to a group of partners of ASDers to learn more about how I experienced the world. This led her to believe she also has ASD (recently confirmed).

* I learned all the things related to what makes ASD different from NTs such as Theory of Mind.

* I met fellow ASDers, learned their background, their strong and weak traits, and was able to observe them as well.

* I did a mindfulness course specifically for people with autism.

* We, a couple both diagnosed with autism, get help to deal with our baby so she can grow up healthy in this NT world with two autistic parents (I'm terrible at reading her body language...)

* There's more in development but I'll keep my mouth shut until it's been done & succeeded.

All of the above thanks to the fantastic healthcare system in The Netherlands. God, I love my country, I'm so blessed being born here.

EDIT: A lot of women (like my partner) end up being undiagnosed. Women are trained into a certain role in society which isn't typically masculine-autistic. They're forced to learn to mimic, act, etc to fit the feminine role.

Susskind explains String Theory (M-theory) very well in the lectures available for free on Youtube. He is a world leader on the whole matter (and one of the group that first worked on String theory).

Essentially, string theory was inspired by Fynmann diagrams, via considering the 1-D particle "world-lines" in those diagrams as 2-D "areas".

The rest of the _very_ complex theory comes logically after. A lot of physicists point towards the "natural" nature of string theory as a favourable aspect of it, in stark contrast to QM which has _always_ been unnatural. The statistical nature of QM - "probabilities and uncertainties", has a "hidden-variable/phenomenon" about it, very much like how the random motion of a particle on the surface of water was seen (by Einstein no less) to actually be brownian motion - in this case water particles hitting the surface particle. QM often screams "I don't know but maybe X is Y and Y is Z with Q% chance", meanwhile string theory says "what if X is Y, and therefore A, B, C, D, ...", which is how classical physics and GR (Einstein) was done. The latter way is seen as a much "stronger" and "insightful" way of physics, and string theory walks more towards that nice line than QM ever did.

As a physicist myself, QM has always stank. Everybody knows it. It "works" like HTML/CSS/JS "works". I've always thought that QM has an identity crisis. It tries to stretch itself in two very distinct directions, towards "Quantum Physics" (randomness, uncertainty, strange things like entanglement), and yet relies on vague classical things like "mass". With the Higgs Boson, it relies less on classical things and _indeed_ the Higgs Boson was very sought after (hence the huge celebration for it's discovery) because it pulled QM away from classical physics. But still, QM has a few "smelly" parts. When you see that Schrodinger equation and see that mass variable, doesn't that make you...uncomfortable? Kind of like downloading a "login-form" javascript UI library and using it, and having no idea what it's about or what's going on or how it works.

Good illustration matters
Since warm air can carry quite a bit more moisture than cool, this specific idea is likely to result in condensation as the cool outside air joins the moistened warm house air.

If the roof insulation is less than perfect, simply wetting the roof periodically will go a long way toward drawing heat out of the house.

If the roof insulation is good enough that this wouldn't work, you very likely don't have a problem to begin with.
Great to hear you think it may still have customers at a higher price point! I made the price pay-what-you-want-with-a-minimum (I'm gonna need about tree fiddy :P).

I'm unsure how well the app will do in the international market, but in many countries even $3 is quite a bit of money.

A nice feature about the price, is that each purchase of the app equates to a purchase of an anti-mosquito bednet (since I'm donating proceeds to a charity that provides them to communities affected by malaria) :)

Treated? You should know that may sound very offensive (I assume it wasn't meant offensive though). Autism cannot be treated as it isn't a disease; it is a development disorder. You learn to live with it, and its part of how you are as a human being; you don't know different. You learn to live with it without a diagnosis as well, but a diagnosis plus various therapies can help you being more functional in life. That's different than being treated. Heck, people with ASD can have positive effects from their disorder just as well.
It's an option that is very common in Germany. Factory workers will often agree to short-time working or temporary pay cuts in preference to layoffs.
Thank you for paying more!

Charging more is a balance between larger sales volume (importantly -- more people using the app), and possibly higher revenue (in my case donations to my favorite charity).

I'm leaning towards having a lot more people enjoy my work (though I'm still unwilling to go "pay what you want" with no minimum at this time).
I think OP was referring to incidence, and you are thinking of prevalence.
Exactly. Those little details, as insignificant as they seem, can magnify into an enormous difference in failure situations.

For instance, even after getting a hairline crack on my iPhone, I haven't bothered to replace the screen because I can use the device just fine, in most cases.

Contrast that with my 4yr-old Nexus 7[0] device which got a hairline crack about 1.5months ago, and the device is completely unusable, because of the design decision to use a resistive touch screen!

I'm aware of [1] and [2] but never used them, honestly they seem to be a bit too much for the problem they try to solve. I could be wrong since I haven't used them, but that impression is why I haven't even tried.

I appreciate that this is quite low-friction. One click and I can see quick examples of bash (which I don't script enough in to be comfortable with the syntax).

But regardless I'm not super keen on cheat-cheets in general either.
Honestly, it's more work to use the curl command and for some examples I've tried with cheat.sh I didn't get any answer, which then costs me even more time to look up the actual answer.

Your tool tells me from the start, what I can get and what I can't get. So I go on the site, write down the language/framework/whatever and get an answer. Better UX and to be honest, way better and modern UI.

I understood the parent's point. I was stating that, regardless, I've always found it odd how people think the large corporations as "private companies", when they act far more like governmental agencies than even _governmental agencies_ themselves do.

Many people seem to often not notice how never before in human history has centralised communication existed, and it was never foreseen that a few "private" companies would control almost all of it.

It's why I always think of it as rather rediculous when people refer to the U.S. constitution and other literature and preach "but X says that only a government is controlled and private-company-hosted speech is defenseless!", and not realise that Facebook et al, if anything, _is_ a "government" to a 17th Century human (especially to those who drafted the Constitution).

If power is a measureable "quantity", then I'de say that FB alone has more of it than what 17th, 18th, and 19th Century Governments had. The laws are very outdated I think.

Yup, people with severe autism get diagnosed early in their life, as child. They're clearly impaired by their autism, and get help.

People with a mild version get un(der)-diagnosed, especially women. They're expected to just blend in with society yet when they have difficulty in life, they're being told to e.g. "man up". Which might work with NTs shrug.

If you don't see a disability, its not there, right?!
I agree we should follow the preference. That's what I'm saying to do. My understanding from the link I posted is that EE Cummings did not want to always have his name lowercased: he chose to do it in certain contexts for specific artistic reasons. When we lowercase the name as though he intended to communicate something by having his name always be lowercase, we're creating an artistic statement for him that he never intended to make in the first place.
