Also the upper end is impacted by the low number of oxygen atoms each hydrogen molecule can react with, in this case it's just one, compared to gasoline with say 8 carbon and 18 hydrogen atoms which bounds to 25 oxygen atoms. Mind you, the size of a gas molecule doesn't affect how many you get per volume at a certain pressure and temperature. So 50% gasoline vapors and 50% hydrogen are both molecule counts, with the former requiring 25 times as much oxygen for full combustion, compared to the latter.

I am also thinking of getting one as a machine learning laptop. The 1070 8G GPU memory is very adequate.

The reliability from a small company is a concern of mine also, so I intend to purchase the 3 year warranty - a first for me, I have never bought an extended product warranty before.

The specs do look amazing.
At a startup, where the title for your position can be more or less teneously attached to the actual role (e.g. CTO at a two-person startup is more in line with a software engineer at a big company).

I agree not every fresher gets such salaries. The actual figure depends on the company. A company could be paying less to a fresher. Is 1500000 rupees or 2000000 rupees a good number for you? Then in the same company it is possible that there are people with 10+ years of experience who are earning 5% to 25% less than that.

But my 3000000 rupees example is not unusual. You can see madmax108's comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18343962 where he was earning more than 3500000 without being from IIT in just 3.5 years of experience. Not a fresher exactly but when I had 9 years of experience I was earning less than that!

Also see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18343659 where someone says fresher salaries of 60000 USD (4400000 INR). So I don't think my example is unusual.
Big Blue Puts on a Red Hat: IBM Acquires Red Hat
I do a lot of scientific computing and data analysis development work and most of the time during my dev cycle I'm working on tiny test data sets developing and testing new approaches to certain problems. Most of that work could absolutely be done on something with the capability of the new iPad pro. In fact I do a fair bit of development on a mid-range surface pro 4 which has pretty similar specs as the new iPad pro.

See my other comment in this thread, there is at least six years of prior usage by multiple big tech companies describing their product's screens as "edge-to-edge" without literally meaning edge-of-device to edge-of-device, with links.

And see my other other comment where I wonder why "edge-to-edge" has your goat, when Apple describing the iPad Pro as "all screen" doesn't. Is that intended to be taken literally as well? There's no CPU, no memory, no battery, no glass, no other components, all screen?

Because the device is right there, it clearly has parts which are not screen, why aren't you frothing at the mouth about how it's a lie intended to "attract suckers" instead of a non-literal highlighting that the screen is large?

Like "all butter cookies" - that's a lie for suckers to think they are made of butter and no other ingredients, right? Because there's no way it could be read except literally, is there?

Non-literal descriptions are everywhere.

> There are two reasons why we can’t: We live within a finite ecosystem of resources and finite systems can by definition not sustain infinite consumption

Yeah this gets thrown around a lot, but people clearly misunderstand what it actually means. It just means that there is _some_ amount of people we can't feed, but it says _nothing_ about what the amount is. It can be 10 billion, it can be 10^27. You just "proved" nothing of substance.

> And we are currently consuming an _unsustainable_ and growing rate of resources.
(emphasis mine)

[citation needed]

I am serious, it does not matter how many times people say this, it still is not obvious truth.

> And we are currently consuming an unsustainable and growing rate of resources.

And when you finally claim something that would be easy (I guess, you seem confident in it) to back up by links, you don't do that.

This reads like unfounded hysteria.
if it's lobbying for one idea over another how is it not political? Moore is known to be left leaning and his movies are known to strongly push for leftist policies directly or indirectly for candidates. If he releases his "documentary" a month before an election it's pretty clear he means to influence the voters so how is that not really a political ad for the candidates for his favored party?
> Extrapolating a trend and showing disaster looming is much easier (and gets more attention) than recognizing that humans are adaptable and we shouldn't be so negative about humanity's future.

Just yesterday there was an article saying that we've managed to wipe out 60% of the animal populations since 1970, the collapse of the insect bio-mass is also a relatively recent man-made phenomenon and it also looks like man-caused climate change is almost irreversible at this point. Disaster is indeed looming and imho has already started. This is not being "negative" about the future, these are facts happening right now.
There used to be calls to ban comic books because they were corrupting the youth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seduction_of_the_Innocent

"Seduction of the Innocent is a book by American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. The book was taken seriously at the time, and was a minor bestseller that created alarm in parents and galvanized them to campaign for censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry."
You seem to be coming from a literal reading of the headline. The absurdity of that should be pretty clear. After all, it can be disproven by a single death of one of "us" that isn't caused by or related to the internet.

Because of its absurdity, that interpretation of the headline can't be correct. So instead of cheap shots (without evidence) about the NYT, you should maybe try to find a valid interpretation, of which there are several. Personally, I'd focus on the "Us". In this reading, it laments the metaphorical death of community, and society's disintegration into autistic strangers.

I think the obvious point is that whilst what photoshop does is very complex and computationally intensive, it's not new. The vast majority of the functionality in an average photoshop file is the same as was in the product 15 years ago. We really have reached the point of diminishing returns. And doing those tasks 15 years ago wasn't slow, so it's questionable why photoshop hasn't scaled in speed with the hardware.

Principal Architect can mean literally anything, and in many more enterprisey places guys with such titles are often basically wankers who don't contribute much or are even a net negative for the company. And yes, in such cases getting to this role is all about appearances and politics. This is confirmed by the market when such guy has to leave the company for whatever reason and cannot get another job that is even remotely close in pay and ostensible responsibility.

A good rule of thumb on the value of the architect is IMO whether they can even check out, build and run the code. The kind of people I'm talking about often didn't even bother to get privileges to version control; they reside strictly in email&powerpoint land.
That is a list worth checking out, Thank You.

The NYT doesn't centrally decide to embark on this or that campaign. For the columnists, it's important to remember that they don't work at NYT's offices, and they don't participate in meeting etc. Quite literally, their job is writing whatever comes into their mind, then faxing or sending it to their editor. In response, they get money.

If you see a sudden burst of articles regarding a subject, it may not be a conspiracy, but rather:

- Different people having the same reaction to some set of events

- Coincidence

- Our tendency to find more and more examples once we have noticed any sort of trend

If the internet does not make it easier, nor does it make it possible, or cheaper... Then why would anybody do it?

As several analysts noted "Without a determined political action, within few decades China will be the leading global economic and political power. EU/US and others must join muscles to stop the economic dominaton of China by econ-political means, before it's too late".

Day by day, US think-thanks are joining Trump's economic war against China. For US, to build up allies, usual quick wins are Australia, Japan and adversarial countries surrounding China as well as UK and most of Europe and some of South America.

Harder competition ahead between China and US will be in Africa, Pakistan, Iran, Russia, Middle East, Asia.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Home security is not on the same level as enterprise security. What do people expect? That you're going to have IAM so that only you can reboot your router remotely and not your kids or your dinner guests? I mean, it's not like Google couldn't do it, it's just horrendously expensive for little benefit. And then we'll get people griping that Google forces you and your kids to all get Google accounts just to use your home network.

> I imagine replacing the words "mass tourist" with "immigrant" and the sentence ...

That's a big leap there though, ignoring the context and intent of the quote. The main issue expressed there is the mindless greed of the "mass tourist" when visiting these places, not truly viisting them to be temporarily part of the magnificence, but to use it to boost their own ego and tick a notch in some list. The intent of the immigrant is for survival and better standards of living, the intent of this kind of "mass tourist" is superficial consumption, which is what he's warning against.

In contract based employees in specialized skills the numbers for my experience level goes even higher like in the 12000000 to 16000000 rupees range.

It gets me also thinking that I should take risk in life and choose contract based employment. But the work pressure is higher. There is also pressure of renewing contracts. So it is not an easy decision.
