(2001) KPMG hits wrong note as its anthem rocks the world
Indeed. The ones who complain about passengers ruining their first class flight are funny - they don't realise they're travelling on public transport.
You honestly believe that had Bird, initially an unheard of company, gone to say, the city of Los Angeles and said "We'd like to put scooters everywhere, is that cool?" They'd have said "sure"? I think that's incredibly naive.

The absolute best outcome for Bird would have been the city saying "you can put them in designated scooter areas, and they have to be docked in designated scooter areas". And that would have turned them into just another e-bike: utterly useless and used by no-one.

Now, there's absolutely a reasonable conversation to be had about corporate over-reach, responsibility, and externalities here. However, let's not pretend that this could realistically have been accomplished any other way.
IIRC, a lot of fuel is burned during take off. By making the full trip non-stop without a lay-over, saves fuel as there's only one take-off. These sort of 'innovations' are never actually about passenger comfort.
Doesn't "voted to x" imply that x was the result of the vote?
What is the reason then? (And what has led people to have that perception?)
For me, the real take away is there is no real rule that x hours working is better than y hours. It really depends on your culture, industry, environment and hundreds of other factors.
Kind of. After connecting to the gdb server, CLion's GDB client usually sends some commands (IIRC start) that will not return a proper response because the server does not support it. Our solution was writing a wrapper to the GDB's machine interface that just ate the problematic commands that are being sent and from then on it works.
I don't know if it has been fixed, this is the most recent article i found and it's been a while since I last tried to tackle this problem (previous job).

Hm. 4.6M „voters“, and I know a couple of persons who were not able to vote due to server issues. I also doubt that the way the voting was setup was safe against the most basic manipulations (e.g. voting multiple times).

I’d say that this was not a representative poll. ;)
> Are those CEOs in charge of companies that actually ship product?

Yes, all of them.

I know them because I either worked for them or worked with their companies.
Right, and this is why all big corporations fail? /s

Work is less than relevant, what matters is that your actual customer is happy and you're finding new leads. That you can be flexible is typically a part of it. That you never sacrifice your customer's satisfaction for your convenience.

Being focused may or may not be a component.

(BigCo have a problem that their actual customers are often the shareholders.)
No. It might seem like it because often the actor doing the voting is, for example, an entire legislative body. But that's not the case here.
Or build desalination plants and stop draining the natural reserves of fresh water. Probably a lot cheaper. The point of the dikes would be to prevent flooding; not protecting fresh water supplies.

Was employee number one and prelaunch was convinced my CEO would take any meeting he could just to make work for himself so he could complain about how hard he worked.

Things got a lot better post launch when he had more actual work to do, but I think his work weeks probably consolidated to something close to 50 hours.

Don't want to be too hard on him, since he was very good at his primary role, namely pitching the company to the investors.
Surely the level of “work ethic” is something you have and it doesn’t change based on the number of hours you spend exercising that. Say for instance he had an ethic score of 95% - whatever that is - wouldn’t he apply that same drive for 35 hours and simply get more done?

I think the title needs to be less click-baity.
IMO - only flown the A380 a few times, but never felt turbulent (may just be my luck). A350 is quiet AF compared to the 787 (flew them back to back on a flight through Qatar)

One thing I do love about the 787 though is the big windows - tall people get a (edit: lol not 360) very good view around the aircraft if it's not too full.
In the parlance of newspeak i've never seen it used any other way. Its misleading.
This is just grumbling. Not even organizing a union.
They paid devs and gave them Lumia phones. I still remember writing a trivial app for Windows Phone and getting $100 and a Lumia 521, which was pretty good IMO.

Google acted terribly towards Windows Phone, breaking Youtube and anything else 3rd party devs or Microsoft wrote for Windows Phone. Google Maps for mobile browsers was pretty awful until Google was sure that AT&T and Verizon were done selling Windows Phones

This. I am more of a "work really intensly for X days until I'm exhausted and never want to see a computer again, then rest for a couple of days while I regain my productivness" person. Also, I've found that if I get up in the morning and do something else other than work before lunch, only to start working in the afternoon, is where I'm at my best in terms of being productive. It's strange that we still operate by these industrialistic workhours, when people clearly are performing at their best at different hours.
TOTP requires:

1. sharing a secret (which is bad, and possibly already compromised by the time it reaches your device (phone))

2. permanent attention to the domain. Remember similarities between the cyrillic a and latin a? (phishing, etc.)
Good parralel.

> If the java have a different complexity it is a different algorithm.

It doesn't seem wrong to me to talk about different versions of the same algoritm when there are only minor differences.
> If that actually denoted how common a distribution was in any way, we'd see a lot more Slackware in the world.

According to the graph, Slackware is a way less widespread than Red Hat, and Red Hat is a way less widespread than Debian. It seems to be a correct representation of reality, given the popularity of the .deb package format, and the size of apt package repositories, in comparison to .rpm and yum, respectively.

I agree, that Intel might have chosen not to inform Debian because of its non-enterprise nature, but it doesn't change the fact, that Debian might be the second most popular Linux server distribution in the world[1], with the market share 20x of that of SUSE, which was informed about the bug by Intel ahead of time.

I always like spreading my >30 hours over the whole seven days. Gives me days where no one could interrupt because they are having their weekends while I spend Sat/Sun morning coding.
There is no incentive. I get paid well and I am constantly getting called by recruiters from other blue chips and hot startups.

Tech workers will band together the day that ends. Not anytime soon. Same on Wall Street or with Snowdens colleagues in govt.
IMO, get 6 hours of work and you should be fine. I mean work, not staying there for 80 hours a week
One person’s “lack of work ethic” is another’s “having a life”. Just let it go, everything will be fine. Consider this your secret weapon for talent retention. Nobody actually does even 32 hours of real, actual software engineering work in a week on a routine basis.
Which country is it? What payment systems do you use?
To be fair, I would consider spending time with people you wouldn't spend time with unless you're paid to so, as work.

Sure, you can claim it's not really work in the narrow definition of work, but if you go down that path, you will end up at "it's only really work if it's physical work".

As far as I understand this Go will always try to keep objects on the stack because it is practically free (just as in C/C++). However, if the object escapes to the heap then allocation gets expensive (just as in any other language) and it can be beneficial to reuse objects instead of allocating new ones for every iteration.
A350 has best cabin pressure, then 787, then A380, but they're all pretty good, and they're all pretty quiet too, compared to older planes.
The CEO of WeWork claims to work almost 20 hours a day in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5tSINazw78). Its impossible to do unless you are spending your time doing light work. Any intensive work that requires brain power will burn you out after 10+ hours. And to do it consistently day in and day out is impossible. I work 7 days a week averaging 10+ hours a day. I can barely hit 18 hours doing straight intensive work, and my day after suffers.

not using google is easy, not losing data for 15+ years and counting is significantly harder. even Apple dropped my photos due term of service change, I had to scramble gigabites off internet into disks and now my collection is an unindexed mess.
As a species, we have been moving towards "less hours, more work done" for centuries. Just a few hundred years ago, most of humanity worked every waking hour creating food for themselves in order to not die of starvation.

The logical end point of this progress is 0 hours work per year and we still get everything we want. We're not quite there yet, but we're already much closer to that point than "work all the time to survive".

We should do something about resource distribution, though. I'm not saying that we would be there already if the 1% didn't steal everything, but we'd certainly be closer. Not communism or anything close to that, though, we already know that crap has no chance of working. But just something not quite so unbalanced.
Yes. Especially because ...

> More than 86 million shares voted against the proposal at a shareholder meeting in June, while fewer than 17 million voted in favor, Tesla said.

... and ...

> BlackRock funds are a top-10 Tesla stockholder, controlling nearly 6.5 million of Tesla’s 170 million shares, according to Thomson Reuters data based on public filings.

So who cares how BlackRock voted?

Amazing! I wonder if this makes some web services vulnerable.. if the user can submit a just-so array of ints to be sorted?

They put an extra 40 seats on a plane, increasing from say 180 to 220 in economy, because they expect to sell them

If you want a seat and a bed, that's possible. Buy first class.

If you want a seat that changes into a bed, that's also possible - but business.

If you want a seat that has more legroom, more width, and better food, buy premium economy.

If you want the cheapest way to safely travel, buy economy.

Rho is always 1 to n as defined.

In randomized input with uniform statistics, should be on average (n - log n) which also gives a handle on theta notation complexity.
Nitpick: \rho = n/2 in the worst case, if n > 1, but that still gives you O(n log n).
I've tried chasing big goals and I've tried avoiding everything through escapism. Turns out that it doesn't matter much what I try, I eventually just do what I do. Thankfully, the trend line is positive.

Once I figured that out and learned to trust it, I stopped thinking in terms of big conscious motivations and instead just started looking at the unconscious roadblocks that were in front of me. If something was getting in the way of where I seemed to be going, or if I noticed myself charting weird paths around some thing in avoidance, I'd start looking closer at why and gradually free myself of the hinderance.

There are plenty more such blocks for me to find and work through, but this method feels more balanced and more effective than any motivation-centered paradigm ever seemed to.
Utterly brilliant!

Exactly. Sometimes those are called "adaptive algorithms", in the sense that the complexity depends on some properties of the input, so even though the worst case complexity is still O(n log n), for many outputs it will do much better.

However, it's disingenuous to compare them with plowing a field, laying bricks, welding steel bars, driving a bus, serving meals or even fixing software bugs.
Consider working for government?

Not sure about States, but in Canada you are normally required to not work more than 8 hours a day and you forced take coffee breaks (formerly, smoke breaks) throughout the day. The work load is notoriously low, vacations are very long, bureaucracy is high, layoffs are unheard of and it will take a significant effort on your part to get yourself fired. The downside is that you need to join a union, the pay is low and you won't work with the brightest bulbs. But these are very comfortable and safe jobs, which can be kept for life without much effort... or so I heard.
Cybermedia had the worst anthem of all but I haven't been able to find it. There was a page that collated all the cringe-worthy corporate anthems somewhere.

Cars, parked badly, you're on the right track..... homeless people = litter?, oh dear.
Hey I’ve been working on a chatbot project lately and I came across semantic parsing (http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/wcmac/sippycup/blob/maste...) . Even Though we didn’t use it , I found it to be more robust and capable to handle very complicated utterances. The main disadvantage of using a grammar based approach is that it’s hard to extend the grammar to incorporate new intents and also creating a grammar is time consuming .

But the approach used in various NLU services such as Snips and RASA is much more simpler. This can work fine for easy queries but once we start asking complicated questions using conjunctions and disjunctions these systems start becoming brittle. If they try to capture all the possible logical forms through intents they’ll need an exponential number of intents and also a huge dataset to capture all the intents.

I would like to know your take on using a grammar based semantic parsing.
If I'm honest, I like that kind of formatting for small 2-3 line, 2-3 part expressions. But I am not a big fan for it in much bigger parts (like that huge index calculation above). I always see them and think that I'd rather see a loop over an array of values, or split into many smaller expressions.
I've learned to do this with clients too.

Some of them would call or email me with some really important, not previously discussed thing that they absolutely needed to have (but really didn't). Where in the past I'd immediately take this request seriously and discuss how many hours/days of work this would reasonably take, I now often give them an unusually high indication at first. If the conversation continues and it becomes clear that they really do want/need said feature, I'll come up with a more realistic indication.
Link a blockchain app made with IOTA (for example, but this is the best and most manageable protocol I can see out there just now) to your unique ID in the form of something like your heartbeat plus your physical location plus your actual body shape, then perform a mini-transaction every 30 seconds or every minute or the granularity you need, finally store the transactions linked to that data as an alibi against any accusation that you were somewhere else doing something fake an AI created to blackmail you.
I don't know where you got the idea I thought Japan was a workplace utopia. Yea I know it sucks. My point was the social cohesion has it's pluses. I didn't name any of them so I guess that makes my point poorly made.

Maybe this will make it clearer? Let's say you do a contract for $1000. As the contract progresses they promote you to fellow business people. "This guy's great. You should contract him for your needs". At the end of the contract you get paid the $1000. You're then asked, "hey, could you print 1 extra copy of that report"

Possible responses

1. Sure, That will be $50

2. Sure, on problem. Here you go.

Probably a bad example but I'd argue that (1) is the "me" attitude and (2) is the "us" attitude. They gave you free PR. I guess they should have been "Oh, you want me to tell me business contacts about you? Give me 10% for each successful contract".

I want to live in world (1) where people help each other unless it's total unreasonable.. Staying extra months at the company could arguably be unreasonable but it's also possible to feel obligation. You don't know how much training that employee received or what else they got from the relationship.

As another example, some company could hire you with zero experience (taking a chance). You'd applied to 25 places but everyone said "no experience no hire". You work at this company and mostly they get very little good work out of you because they're giving you so much training. Not only are you slower than the experienced people but those experienced people have to spend time explaining better ways to do things to you, time they could be spending directly on their other responsibilities.

At the end of year you now have "experience" so you ditch the company for another job. Some people would see that as close to theft. You just took a free paid education from them when they were hoping the deal was they'd train you, even paying you while you're being trained vs you having to pay a school to train you, and then they expected you to be a productive employee for at least a year or two after the training.

Would you seriously feel zero obligation?
But the analogy is still tempting. How much of the attention heaped upon influencers is coming from people who hope to get some back for their own rise to influencerdom? Still closer to plain old high-school popularity, but now with a dangling carrot of a career possibility.

And crazy immigration laws and policies aren’t helping much either. IMO it makes sense people are staying home and building their businesses instead of uprooting to a place they perceive doesn’t want them, both from an immigration and a housing cost perspective. This is the real cost of current rhetoric and discourse, and it takes time to manifest, but the change is happening. Many of my friends recently moved out of the Bay Area and back to their countries of origin instead of pursuing a green card, and I’m on the fence myself, for exactly these reasons. These are successful, connected people who’ve seen exits too. I believe those who would be successful in SV can be successful anywhere.
