When do you suggest that they find time to 'study up'? Most corporate environments in which I have worked have an assignment:time ratio greater than 1:1. Often there wasn't an opportunity to take the legal statutory lunch break nevermind study.
Regarding the first part, isn't that what programmatic voice/text is (e.g. Twilio)? I guess they're more of an API on which you'd build said apps. So, rather, wouldn't something like WhatsApp be one of those?

this is hilarious. two comments from two different users made the same apparent mistakes with their intended meaning.
“See? My millions of dollars haven’t atrophied my soul.”
I think your stats are off. When I left Netflix in 2015, we already had 1000+ engineers. By 2017 it was probably closer to 2000.
That just reinforces our inexorable march down to the US level.

When I started most UK tech, and companies in all other industries had an initial one month probation. Very occasionally, usually for the most senior roles, it might be two or three. Six months weighs the balance much too heavily on the employer side I think.
Right - so why can't we have this for the DOM? Much of the power of QML could work wonders for that, for example setting anchor points based on other elements. I think the problem is that in many cases it needs either weird css hacks or injecting dynamic values via js.

It'd be nice to have a web layout tool that ties it all together and lets the designer use familiar tools like pivot, anchor, align, etc. - even if it exports some proprietary combo like react + styled components.

No doubt that's what FramerX and friends are after... so I guess there's progress, but it feels like the web just needs an overall rewrite to get out of the legacy cruft that came along with making static pages dynamic.
I think its fantastic both ways, it helps both sides close a gap. When you have a large divide between, then you get general intents to tax, seize and punish stocks. In argentina, whenever the stock market goes up 5% the marxist-left goes bonkers on all fronts saying the economy is tanking and workers are being robbed. Literally.
Should do the lottery like China does.
Man, they really ruined React.

I remember when it was AWESOME, back in 2013 when only me and like 10 people were using it and the API was simple because it was brand new.

ugh, now I have to read a bit more and have all these new features. I'm an engineer, I only like things when they're simple.

I wish it was back in the simpler days when JQUERY was hot. Man, miss those days for sure.
Disappointing that their logo is just a unicorn. :/
My personal experience was that the only time we went around giving feedback was when managers were meeting. It was never individual contributors, except one time when I specifically asked my team to give me feedback, but it was all one way.

However, it was highly encouraged for ICs to give each other feedback in person one-on-one, and for ICs to give managers feedback (both their own and others they had to work with).
What a bad attitude. This is cool. Not every project has to set out with the seriousness of curing cancer. Some of the most important discoveries are made tinkering. He also was kind enough to post his processes, methodology, code, etc to everyone on the internet for free, contributing to human knowledge. Maybe someone will read his blog and be inspired to apply techniques from it in ways that radically change the world - or maybe just push the envelope in a niche field somewhere. Who knows. You make it sound like there's not enough tensorflow to go around, and that he is somehow misusing our precious supply! I can't stand negative people like you.
Programming prepares like almost nothing else to pay attention to details and to actually read and follow directions, it's like surgery in that regard one little distention and the programs malfunction or die.

This translates very well I in most task oriented jobs, like, maybe your average programmer won't be able to invent a new gourmet dish but I expect most of them to be very competent cooks with a recipe on their hands.
"reduces the time taken" = "speeds up"

From context, it seems like the intended meaning is that caffeine slows down the cortisol removal, but what was actually written was that it speeds up cortisol removal.
They pay all in cash, other give stock.

Almost same outcome.
The author mentions in the comments that dual-earner households went down in comparison to 1978~
Unless that person is your boss, then good luck. How hard could management be at Netflix? You don't need to coach up people when you can just fire them. The more you delegate, the better you look. Sounds like tenured professors who tell you to just figure it out.
Yes I’m Australian -

I don’t think people are fleeing given the net emigration from the US, and the high cost of living in Sydney is actually my point exactly -

It’s not Sydney’s “progressiveness” that makes it expensive, you could live in Melbourne or Hobart where the tax is the same and it’s much less expensive, both more progressive. Three identical sets of benefits and taxes, wildly different cost of living.

My point was that it’s not progressiveness that makes places too expensive, it’s other factors.
I think stack ranking can work well when it's understood that the quality bar doesn't sit at a fixed place in the stack. Google promo committees afaik stack rank a batch of employees and then decide where in the stack to promote, and (in theory) it can be anywhere from the whole stack gets promoted to no one gets promoted.

Whether you explicitly stack rank or not, if you give some people promotions and not others, you're ranking people. Forcing you to see the whole ranking at once seems like a good way to be more objective and cut out bias.
Wow.. Which client language are you using?
Open connect didn't start until years after the move to AWS happened. All that bandwidth was served out of Akamai at the time.
Your quoted link points out no actual problems? It just conveys a fearful mystic vibe about the license and then reduces to "if you get acquired, the lawyers might want to look into the LGPL and it might cause a delay, thus hurting the acquisition". Maybe this person has not read the LGPL, it's an easy read.
Of course it's unintuitive. I see dev veterans make the mistake all the time.

JS was so poorly designed. An implicit (not passed as an arg), dynamic this parameter. You couldn't be more cheeky than that really.

something like console.log.bind(console.log) is beyond silly. It's what we're stuck with but I will minimize the occurences of that kind of crap any single time I can.
Nah, I was thinking of JavaScriptCore. They replaced their last tier JIT a few years back; it used to be LLVM, but now it's a custom backend "B3".
Defeating Feature Fatigue (2006)
Many classmates who are in long-lasting marriages said they experienced a turning point, when their early marriage suddenly transformed into a mature relationship. “I’m doing the best I can!” one classmate told me she said to her husband in the middle of a particularly stressful couples’-therapy session. From that moment on, she said, he understood

Loved the sentiment of that. But surprising that the metamorphosis happens in marriage. I wonder what percentage of people wait for their relationships to mature before getting married? Or if marriage, as a societal construct, is this mental barrier people feel like they have to overcome before their relationship really evolves.
> Inequality isn’t captured, CA relies more heavily on the top earners to fund the budget.

Because of the high reliance on regressive parcel taxes on property (because of Prop 13 limits on ad valorem property taxes that doesn't effect parcel taxes) and regressive sales taxes combined with progressive income tax, California state and local taxes are, in net, regressive at the low end and progressive at the high end; most other groups below the top 1% pay less, proportionately, in taxes than the bottom 20%.

You are battling with the century old fight about interests. What are interests at all.

You can read much argumentation from different economists across the ages about this topic. Hating interest is a very natural endeavor: it has been banned for long periods of time after all.

But economics has clarified that interests is just what you pay for opportunity cost. If you build a hammer, you can use it or loan it. And you can loan it for another new hammer in the future, plus, some value extra for not having it.
You could then, in the next period, loan the new hammer again. And so on, forever, without causing anyone harm, you can "passively" gain an income from your original investment. This is Bastiat's explanation of interest from the 1850's
> QT = UI library.

Oh no! Why then Qt is all over my server code?!
I don't carry a smartphone largely because it's a surveillance device outside of my control, and no it's not ok for you to put one on my car without a warrant. Scott Wiener can kindly go stick his head back where it belongs.
As a Product Manager, this is what I wish I knew about product launches
What expense is that not true of? Owning the car in the first place is harder on the poor.
I assume it we would get rid of some of the gas tax in exchange, in which case this would be a wash for the poor. I also assume it would be a tax based not only on miles but the value of the car, such that cheaper/lighter cars would get taxed less, which would help defray costs to the poor.

But you're right, in the end the tax would necessarily be regressive, which pretty much every usage based tax is.
As someone that grew up with mechanical stuff and ended up in software I agree :)
They don't have to surveil you. They just look at your reported milage when you register your car.
This. I'm for increasing taxes to Denmark levels but these schemes make income inequality worse, not better. And the fact that this will most hurt commuters, who are already struggling given crazy housing prices, is especially sad.
I'd be totally fine with this, assuming that:

1) Some gas tax was removed at the same time

2) The tax took into account the weight of your vehicle and

3) There was some way to report out of state driving.
Fun fact. Qt is 5 years older than Flash.
And taps are just zero-length swipes!
I would answer to 1.:

It is a very different society, one where the top 90% give to the bottom 10%, to one where the middle 80% take from the top 10%, eat most and give scraps to the bottom 10%. A society that cares for the weak does not need to fund it with taxes, it can subsist on charity. You will see that in practice, always a middle class person takes the money first before it goes to the person that needs it.
And what does that have to do with your cortisol levels?
Ask HN: Californians, how long is your daily commute?
Hello Californians,

What is the distance of your average commute? What is the average speed you get during rush hours? Are you drive on highways or through small roads?
Graduated income tax. Simplify the tax code, make the curve steeper, get rid of sales and usage taxes unless there is truly no benefit (like tobacco). (In my opinion)
Superhuman. Not cheap, but I love how fast it is with its native app (Electron I think). They write updates immediately locally, and sync that in the background, so you can breeze through your unsorted email quickly (pressing keyboard shortcut 'e'), and pressing 'tab' to switch between split inbox views. They also show read/open receipts if you enable it, and have keyboard shortcuts for unsubscribing as well. When you reach inbox zero they reward you with a new, beautiful picture every day.

A fully-featured integrated calendar is lacking but apparently will be improved in the coming year or so.
Mods, can we get a (2017) on this?
Both the UK and US happily sell arms to Saudi knowing that they will be used for human rights violations. It's a major policy problem.
+1 to this, same for me. I've gone without an alarm for most of my adult life too. I used to set my alarm earlier and earlier to get myself up, and finally realized I was just training myself to snooze and sleep through it.

I just naturally wake up now at the right time. Once or twice a month, I'll oversleep by a half hour or so; if that happens it's because I needed it. Fortunately I've always had jobs where that's not a problem.
You're claiming total comp at non-Netflix FAANG for senior-principal is $175k-$250k?

Would love to see any specific numbers you have but that just sounds straight up wrong. IME $200k-$250k is around what L4s at Google make in total comp.

Are you sure this isn't a salary vs. equity thing?
Global preferences for who to save in self-driving car crashes
Being targeted for hacking only adds to the risk of being involved in a regular old accident, not replaces it; and no matter who you are, your odds of eventually being involved in a non-hacking related crash are pretty high. The difference in severity of injuries and risk of death in a car accident between a 2018 model and a 2003 model is considerable.

So unless you're Snowden and someone is actively trying to kill you, citing the risk of hacking as a rational safety-based reason to drive a 15 year-old car just doesn't hold water.

And if you are Snowden, physically tampering with a car or just forcing you off the road is so easy, hacking probably doesn't increase the risk profile much either. Granted, it's slightly more convenient for your would-be murderers.
To my dismay, I discovered that the newer model machines—those that were used in the 2016 election—are running Windows CE and have USB ports, along with other components, that make them even easier to exploit than the older ones.

Just wait until the next-next generation of voting machines has network access. Then exploitation can really scale.
> If it was completely voluntary how many people would actually pitch in to pay for all of these services?

Government is the system where everyone expects to live at everyone elses expense. I ask you, if you believe nobody wants to pay for it, why do you think people want it at all?

> What about the communities that are unable to afford these services?

Government does not make it affordable. Government does not pay for it: someone pays for it, the government takes a cut, and gives it to someone else.
All spanking is child abuse. Full stop.

From what you've described, there is zero reason to believe that the spankings your peers in the strict Muslim and Christian homes was a factor in their later success.

Netflix and the streaming wars create income inequality
Average peoples sense of entitlement when it comes to exploiting others freely given work probably comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever put anything open source up on Github or anywhere else.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema could be a fit for you. I have not researched it, but just a quick look at the their propaganda makes it seem intriguing for you purpose. It does 4K60 RAW which should better the 400Mbps h.264. You'll almost spend as much money on a couple of CFast2.0 cards than the camera itself though. It is also a MFT, so your existing lenses for you GH5 should work fine.
An open letter to Tim Cook about user data privacy from /e/ Founder
Not sure this is the right solution, but the problem that has necessitated this seems to be a valid one. As we move towards electric vehicles, gas tax revenue will decrease and things that are currently funded by that money, like road maintenance and construction, will have to find money elsewhere.

I'm curious, what other options do y'all think are feasible? I suppose budgets could just be shuffled around a bit but at the end of the day that's still a chunk of money that will no longer be available.

This article is old but it seems that the idea is still being considered. A bill was recently passed to extend the life of the committee that's been investigating it: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

As we have seen, the heavier vehicles do disproportionately more damage than a lighter vehicle. If you road repair, tax by a formula of weight and mileage if you must.

Having a driver if a hummer pay the same taxes based upon miles driven versus a a VW bug really doesn’t make sense when we know the stress put in the road by the hummer is substantially more.

Lastly, for LA, having a disincentive to have an emissions free car while driving just gets the air quality even worse.
Sorry, when did he pointed that out? I don't think that is true at all.

In fact, he claims that the worst and most pernicious oppression of the poor is done by the measures and people that claim to do it in their aid.

Which is why I love OpenBSD. You're literally complaining that OpenBSD closes security holes too quickly! As a user I want that.

We need to be honest that embargoes serve a couple different purposes. One might be to prevent the leaking of information to malicious actors, and another is to protect vendors and HW manufacturers from embarrassment. As a user I don't care about the latter. Also, as someone concerned with the state of the world I dislike secret clubs, and I fear the reliance on secret clubs provides a false sense of secretivenss. Secrets leak.

If the bug is important enough to warrant an embargo it needs to be fixed ASAP. A month is too long to run with an important vuln in running code. It's always going to be a balance, and as a user not involved in any secret security clubs I want those bugs fixed and in the public space as quickly as reasonably possible.
Actually, the poor drive the least. Subsidies on driving disproportionately benefit the well-off.

Done right, a tax like this would be revenue-neutral, and enacted alongside a reduction in some regressive tax, like sales tax. The winners are poor people and people who don't drive. The losers, well-off people who drive.
I don't know of a device that can measure it at home, but there are mail-in saliva cortisol kits from companies like Genova Diagnostics, Labrix, and ZRT Labs. You usually send them several samples collected at specific times throughout the day.

They're mostly designed to be ordered by a healthcare professional, but you can get a few of them direct on Amazon, or through companies that order on your behalf (similar to healthlabs.com mentioned above).

Weight of the vehicle is a bad measure. It just leads to bigger cars and effectively worse mileage as can be seen in Europe where weight is factored in. Weight is a bad predictor of what use you get out of a car
Stock at most FAANG is liquid though. Google even has an auto-sell program where you basically never even see the stock.

Agree to all the other points though.

An interesting phenomenon is happening vis a vis the art market. Very rich tech buyers are catapulting the value of artists (and, I guess, AI collectives) that aren't really participating much in the "contemporary art" discourse. I look at current art shows all day every day from all over the world and have never heard anything about these people. It's the same with the various "crypto artists."

For $400k you could buy a dozen works by some really influential artists. But there's a big pool of money willing to buy work made by some 25 year olds that is totally disconnected from any broader cultural apparatus related to art. I'm fascinated, and wonder how the art world will respond. Clearly there is money to be made.
The title seems pretty cool!

Could anyone care to tell me if there is a motivation to learn this topic for ordinary ML enginneer such as myself.
It seems these ideas presented in this paper are really helpful for those who develop DL frameworks like pytorch, but what about for those who only use frameworks?

However, regardless of how useful these ideas for me, I really respect researchers who publish excellent papers.
I think this explains a gap between a line of wealthy people and the poor classes that reach adulthood with 0 wealth. But on the other side, an upper class that have a kid that never produces and lives off the inheritance will fall behind another one that continues with the empire growing. And it turns out, most multi-millionaires have a regression to the mean: people really do spend up inheritances.

If the world gets richer, we should expect that the richest will be wealthiest with the passage of time, due to the compounding effect of wealth itself, but thats not really a problem for anyone..
For a lot of basic operations, this is often false.

I have an application I'm working on and tested it across three different generations of CPUS going ~10 years back.

The code was written in C and the fundamental steps were to: mmap() two arrays of structs from a sata 3 SSD, compare the two, and write the intersection to a block of memory. The data size of each array was multiple gigabytes and the operation took more than a full second.

The ~10 year old low powered Xeon L5640 beat the higher-speed ~5 year old Xeon E5-2667 v2, and was only slightly beaten by the 3 year old i7-4790k. In short, they all ran at roughly the same speed.

I would say that this is because of the limits of the SSDs, but then I tested by holding that data in memory rather than disk, then ran the intersection. Same result.

This is a very basic operation that tests the performance of the CPU and memory. And for operations like these (ie: not using SSE2, AVX, etc), the perceived performance difference to the vast majority of people for a secondary home machine may be negligible.

" ... as it would be undercut by its own manufacturers."

Perhaps - but the whole reason these parts were getting imported from China in the first place is that Apple refuse to sell them anymore because the machines they fit in are "too old".

I'd kinda accept an argument that "you should buy it from Apple", but only with the necessary rider that says "Unless Apple refuse to sell it to you any more, in which case they've forfeit all import protection rights".

(Also, if Rossmann _did_ intentionally or unwittingly order known "non-Apple suppled parts with counterfeit Apple logos on them", then it's pretty dumb of him to complain and threaten to lawyer up. He shouldn't have ordered 3rd party batteries with Apple logos, and he should now just order another batch without the Apple brand/trademark on them and argue about the payment for the first batch with the supplier if he thinks it wasn't his fault...)
Responding because I can't edit:

It was about three years ago, that through pseudo public channels, that Apple started messaging that OpenGL was on it's way out. Oh, look what Blizzard game came out (Overwatch) which has pretty flagrantly disregarded the idea of Mac support, even entertaining the idea of possible switch support.
