answer would depend on your current background and what this startup does. From your wording it seems you are weighing it in terms of money. In that case it is hands down google as it is already paying more, is considerably less risky and will give you brand recognition for future employment.
I think you should weigh your options in terms of you future goals rather than money. I would rephrase the question as Which step will help me realize my goals faster and go with it.
That's a very power-intensive way of doing it. Sunlight is about 120 watts per square meter[0]. My 14-inch laptop (a Thinkpad T430) display has an area of 0.0543 square meters, so in full sunlight it is illuminated by 6.5 watts of light.

White LEDs are currently approximately 25% efficient (and have a limit of 44%)[1], so my LCD display needs to use 26 watts of electricity to be as bright as direct sunlight landing on it.

My laptop's backlight can't actually do that, but if it could, it would exhaust 70 watt-hour battery in less than 3 hours, without accounting for any power used by the CPU, network card, RAM, or hard drive.

“A best-selling volume in 1964 warned that a science-focused world left no room for humane pursuits“ this basically sums it up. I think non STEM degrees are what gave upper edge to the first world countries. If you observe developing countries like india where everyone just wants to become engineer or doctor, you will see very one minded direction of life. Everyone is pursuing money.
I got my CS degree from a small liberal arts school, while also pursuing a creative writing major. I also had the chance to perform music, act in plays, study abroad, and do research with my favorite professors. I was never given the tiniest guidance towards employable skills. I would say it was wholly an education in the humanities, as long as you count math (and why wouldn't you?)

I won't try to argue that this education was superior other methods, but I will say I think it's worked incredibly well for me.

Birds are a type of dinosaur called recently avian dinosaur. The other dinosaurs (non-avian dinosaurs) are definitely not a type of bird.

So no, the title is not really wrong unless there is a yet undiscovered bird that's even larger. The elephant bird was the biggest bird (or avian-dinosaur) that ever existed. It was smaller than other non-avian dinosaurs but these were not birds so no point comparing.

The confusion you are making is sometimes described as politician's syllogism. [0]

1) All birds are dinosaurs

2) All land dinosaurs are dinosaurs

3) Therefore, land dinosaurs are birds

The example that kicked off this discussion, replacing references or pointers with array indices, is presumably one example you're thinking of?

The problem with using that example to make this argument is that it is the equivalent code. Jonathan Blow's argument was not that the borrow checker forces people to use a worse pattern - he uses basically the same pattern in C - but that the borrow checker doesn't help you with that pattern, and so the borrow checker is extra friction.

Now, Catherine West's argument in the keynote video was that the borrow checker pushes people toward this better design, albeit without helping solve the use-after-"free" aspect, while Jonathan Blow says he would just start there as an experienced game developer, so he doesn't need to be pushed.

There's also the fact that the borrow checker isn't completely gone, and still applies to any references you put in the array or temporarily take to the array or that don't involve the array at all; as well as the fact that Rust also helps with things like parallelism, which definitely applies to games and doesn't need to be "bypassed."
The paper is easy to read and more complete, maybe link to it directly?

Sage is wonderful. It has a huge number of uses but I mostly use it for cryptography. Sage has the best (certainly open source) support I know of for a myriad of things like group theory and elliptic curves. Here's a short example for how easy it is to play around with a tiny elliptic curve:

sage: p = 19; p.is_prime()
True
sage: K = GF(p); K
Finite Field of size 19
sage: E = EllipticCurve(K, [5, 9]); E
Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 5*x + 9 over Finite Field of size 19
sage: E.count_points(), E.order(), E.gens()
(19, 19, [(4 : 6 : 1)])

There are far too many things to name that sage can do, but the CLI has a great autocomplete. Here's an example: let's say you have ECDH with point compression, and you specify only an x coordinate. Point compression limits the effectiveness of invalid curve attacks, where an attacker gives you a maliciously picked Diffie-Hellman value that isn't actually on the curve you're supposed to be on. However, if the x coordinate doesn't map to a point on the curve, it's necessarily on its "nontrivial quadratic twist". Sage makes this easy to play with because sage makes pretty much everything easy to play with:

sage: E.lift_x(6, all=True)
[]
sage: E.quadratic_twist()
Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 6*x + 13 over Finite Field of size 19
sage: E.quadratic_twist().lift_x(6, all=True)
[(6 : 6 : 1), (6 : 13 : 1)]

If you want to do a full-on invalid curve attack, the easiest way to do that is with Sage. You look up how the explicit formulas work in the EFD[efd], you write a ladder, you figure out how to create other elliptic curves for which the short Weierstrass doubling formulas still work (which parameter doesn't appear in the formula?), and then just let sage generate every possible curve and see which ones have the poor cryptographic properties you're after.

There's a reason the introduction to Cryptopals Set 8[set8] sends with the words:

> By the time you're done, you will have written an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of one percent of SageMath.

If you read the article and enjoyed the idea of immense mountains being just centimeters tall, I highly recommend a scifi novel called “Dragon’s Egg” by Robert L. Forward. He actually wrote a scientific research paper on neutron stars and turned the paper into a novel! Hard science fiction at its best and makes nuclear chemistry and physics delightfully approachable.

Speaking from experience, this is a very hard choice. I've been there too. I've drunk the Kool-Aid and decided that startups are the place for young ambitious people to be. 5 years later, working for a second startup now I regret the choice I've made.

Difference in my case was that the startup actually paid well too. In the long run though it was not worth it.

The first startup I was working failed within a year even though from the outside it looked like it was going for the stars. The second one, kind of stagnated.. reached a ramen profitability but is far from hockey-stick growth everyone would like to see. I'm looking to change jobs now but noone cares if you're doing the best job in a company noone ever heard of. In the meantime my friends working for Big Corps make careers, and while they are being given responsibilities much slower their personal growth seems more.. robust. Well known names really open you many doors.

If you manage to find a successful startup, that will become a unicorn, great for you, this is probably one of the best things that can happen to a person. But it's bloody hard to know beforehand. For me going forward it's either my own startup or working for a well-known name that people will recognize.

>Since humanities don't give you much competitive advantage on the job market, funding dwindles.

Aren't there still as many, if not more, elites than there were last century? I think a much more realistic picture is that both the sciences and the humanities benefited from the GI bill and grew massively, but the sciences "left the house and earned their paycheck" while the humanities remained reliant on teaching. Now that the demand for education is not growing so fast in and of itself, the sciences have kept up the pace by recruiting support from industry while the humanities have had to face the music.
If you are looking for a straightforward way to protect users from phishing, consider rewriting the URLS in their messages and check their clicks in real time against databases of phishing feeds.

You can check against - Google Safe Browser, Phishtank and other free phishing feeds if you don't have the money for real-time databases or proactive site scrapers.

This is one of the ways that we protect the end user from Phishing at https://www.phishprotection.com - part of the magic is to do a bunch of sanitization before accepting the message including strict SPF, DKIM, DMARC validation / virus protection at the edge / and watching the registration of SSL certificates for commonly exploited domains https://blog.0day.rocks/catching-phishing-using-certstream-9...

If anyone is interested we rewrite URLs to match your domain name - something like linkcheck.yourdomain.com (protected by LetsEncrypt) and if you ever decide to leave you can export out the re-written URLs and redirect your domain to your own servers.

If you'd like to give it a try, feel free to let me know.

College-based humanities accepted materialism centuries ago, when they got comfortable with the idea of training future clergy that could make a living in nearby towns. Travel the back roads of the U.S., and you'll see that New England, the Midwest and the South are rich with small liberal-arts colleges that began as faith-funded schools backed by specific denominations.

Humanities departments continue to operate with a vocational tilt that made sense in the 1950s (heyday of the GI Bill!) training students to earn Ph.D.s and become professors of the humanities at other, rapidly expanding institutions of higher learning themselves. In this model, which persists today, students learn the current cadences of academic writing. That is its own art form, which is fascinatingly different from all other types of writing -- and generally pretty unsuited to everyday use.

This hasn't worked out so well lately, because faculty job openings in the humanities are far scarcer than the supply of new graduates. So students hoping to make it all the way to a professorship end up stuck. As Prof. Schmidt notes in his piece, it's possible for humanities graduates to find good careers in the mainstream economy, but there are a lot of jitters about how to do so.

What's probably fueling this student anxiety (and a desire to avoid pursuing humanities majors) is an apprehension that the faculty is unfamiliar with career paths other than chasing a Ph.D. and trying to earn a faculty position somewhere.

It's actually quite striking how many anthro majors find their way to UX; English majors succeed in sales, etc. But there's no support from faculty to get there. And while understaffed career-services departments do the best they can, learning how to get here from there is much harder than it should be.
My guess: Taxes. In Sweden at least, roughly half of the money any company makes, is going to taxes before getting in the hands of the employees, leaving much less buying power for consumers. Add to that a 25% VAT on anything you buy, and, yeah.
Anecdotally" Everyone I know and works with me as well as several google results point to the same issue.

What are the Google results of issues. “Everyone you know” is anecdotal....

Am I supposed to know how many updates there were between those years automatically or how is that related to what I wrote?

Well first, seeing that both Apple and Google have released major updates every year since they have developed mobile phone OSs. It’s not too hard to figure out.

Sure there are. You can take the google brands,Motorola

No Google brands have usually had updates for two years tops.

or I don't know, just put your own OS on it.

See how well that works in practice....

Or if you are the usual consumer who just wants to have a new phone every x-years you can just buy two for the price of one IPhone. So many possibilities....

Since an iPhone actually maintains somewhat of a resale value, you still don’t come out ahead by buying a phone every two years. Consumers are holding on to phones longer now that they aren’t being subsidized by the carrier.

Yes, Intel has been a baseband chipset on iPhones for a while now (at least since iPhone 7, can’t remember if earlier), just not exclusively.

Edit:

And as the original iPhones used Infineon chips (which Intel acquired), depending on your perspective, you could twist it and say they’ve been there since the beginning. Bit disingenuous to me, but I could see someone making that claim.

One of the coolest parts about neutron stars is their gravity is so extreme in its warping of space-time, it lenses light around it and you can see more than 50% of their surface when you view them face on.
Well, to (again) speak as someone who was teaching at a Swedish university for a while - in fact, in Malmö, supposedly the "Detroit/Chicago of Sweden" (depends on who you ask; it's a stupid exaggeration either way), and full of immigrants, I have a simple request : please stop spreading this bullshit. Being from a foreign country creates its problems, but has very, very little to do with the issues raised here.

I had plenty of problem students, and they were all Swedish. The issues have more to do with teachers not being allowed to tell them that they're wrong, to the point where they develop glass jaws and/or a complete lack of respect for their teachers and their own education. They just don't care, because nobody sets boundaries for them or tells them to push themselves to get better at something!

I was almost fired from a university for telling my students that the majority of them did not bother to write down their names, student number, use paragraphs, capital letters at the start of a sentence, or even something as basic as putting dots between sentences in their weekly one-page reports. That they all knew that they wouldn't have made it past the first year of high-school with that kind of attitude. That I could not in good faith accept this from adults who were two years away of having to write their own CV letters. And that therefore any report that did not meet these basic requirements would immediately be sent back with a note "format it properly" until it did (note: I would not even fail them - they would still be graded after the corrections).

This then resulted in a complaint to the higher-ups depicting me as some raging lunatic, and the higher-ups took the side of the complaining students with extreme prejudice, resulting in a near-firing.

If anything, the immigrant students had more fighting spirit than the locals, possibly because they're not pampered.

This is a pretty good metric for finding high quality threads (isn’t a low ratio something the HN algorithm uses in weighting front page rank?). The only problem is that sometimes a great comment will, understandably, generate a lot of responses.

I wish there were a variant of the /bestcomments endpoint [0] that surfaced highly-voted comments within the last 12 hours. Not that days-old threads aren’t worthwhile to read, it’s just that they no longer have active participation.

And as a consumer, I really wish they'd just right-out say what specifically they have in mind that is going to be prevented or inhibited by the passage of this bill. This sort of empty-speak does nothing for anyone and instead just muddies the landscape on an incredibly important discussion.

I'm not completely naive here -- I get that likely it's just ISPs wanting to ensure that all revenue streams remain open regardless of whether the current landscape allows them to utilize them or not, but it's so incredibly frustrating to read a statement like what Frontier put out and to walk away with absolutely nothing from it.

Frontier put forward 180 words with absolutely no content to them -- there is no statement or idea presented except "we don't want this bill", and then a bunch of empty claims that read like virtually every political speech. ("We love freedom, small business, and apple pie")

There is a business decision behind this and it would be very refreshing to just know what that decision is. It is impossible to agree with Frontier or any ISP's resistance to Net Neutrality when all you get are headline blurbs and there is no understanding of their position. I understand the polemic of this, but it's still frustrating nonetheless as there can't even be a discussion on Frontier's position except for the fact that they don't want Net Neutrality. It reminds me of a child's tantrum, except with children, at least they have the excuse that they lack the ability and skill to articulate why they want or don't want something.
I was a 1st employee at a fairly successful startup and am now an "early stage founder". The experience from one doesn't carry over as much to the other as you'd expect.

1) Somewhat true, it's definitely the case initially but you'll see politics develop if the company gets above 15-20 employees.

2) You'll half ass everything. It's nice to get exposure if you don't know what you're interested in yet but it will be hard to go deep in any subject. If you're doing ML the startup will probably have no data, process and infrastructure for you to be effective. At Google they have all the data you can dream of, 1000s of people to label things if you need them, unlimited hardware and tooling to run and manage experiments.

3) You'll learn a lot more about functional organizations at Google than as an early engineer at a startup. You'll also come out with a network and resume that will make raising money and hiring a lot easier.

What a ridiculous thing to say.
I really like the idea of starting with a question.

About a year ago, I had to change how I work (I own a marketing agency that has been growing quickly).

I used to just jump into the work (and things always took forever) but I now have a set of questions I ask before starting any task or project.

For example, what does done look like, what do i want the client to say, what do i want them to feel, what do i want them to do, what do i need to teach them, etc).

The above 2 minute exercise has saved me countless hours of spinning in circles.
And Netflix is already paying their ISPs. All traffic has been paid for. What's the actual problem?

Perhaps you're thinking of the creatures we saw in Jurassic Park? Yeah, those are somewhat inaccurate. Velociraptor, for example, was the size of a turkey and covered in feathers, with its long tail held upwards, like this:

Yeah, basically a weird bird.
Well, let's put that way. If I would have gotten some positive signs regarding financing I would have looked for some one for the sales part. I know, kind of backwarsa thinking. So being employed in the end turned out to be not such bad idea. At least I can say I tried, so no regrets from my side.

I think we really have no argument with each other here because we're talking about two different things: car capabilities vs. overall picture including driver behavior. "AWD vehicles perform better in ice/snow" is a different statement from "you're safer in an AWD vehicle".
