This is the part that I don't understand. Facebook, in the grand scheme of things, is still an incredibly new development for people. Most users (at least those who abide by the age limit) have spent most of their lives not being on Facebook. What grand utility does Facebook provide that makes it so difficult to stop using it? I cancelled my Facebook account a few years ago and the only time I ever even thought about it was when I'd try to sign in to services (like Spotify) that were linked to my account at one time and it got reactivated through that. I'd have to login and cancel the account again.

What is it about Facebook that has suddenly and inexplicably turned it into a necessity for people when they lived for so long without it? It's not like a cell phone or other technology that has massive utility. Most people don't even communicate via Facebook (from what I hear). They just post divisive nonsense.
WhatsApp isn't even close to as ubiquitous as Facebook. WhatsApp has about 1.5 billion monthly active users compared to Facebook's 2.1 billion.

Manifold Destiny
This is a nocebo effect. The two things you just described aren’t even in the same ballpark of RF frequency. The brain doesn’t have any way of measuring pain; let alone temperature. Brain surgery can be done with the patient awake in desirable situations as a direct result of this.
Another way to read this: Apple was having its cake (preaching high CPU performance) and eating it, too (degrading its non-battery replaceable iPhones faster, so its customers would renew their iPhones sooner. Win-win...for Apple. A loss for customers).

PS also looking for other people too (including Customer Success / Training) https://www.countfire.com/careers/
Right, but then you just added state and re-invented sessions, in a round-about way.
Nope, it's still accurate. There are always risks. This is one (it's not a common one, but it's a risk).

To reframe - my statement is akin to saying: the single safest thing you can do while driving is to pay attention to the road.

And you responding with: "This would be accurate, if trees falling on you weren't a thing."

Sure it's a risk, it's not the primary risk.
Off topic: the GPDR banner on this site is a good example of dark pattern. Scrolling into a webpage does not mean I consent collecting personal info about me.
> "But the results apply only to male rats and involve radio frequencies long out of routine use."

"For decades, health experts have struggled to determine whether or not cellphones can cause cancer. On Thursday, a federal agency released the final results of what experts call the world’s largest and most costly experiment to look into the question. The study originated in the Clinton administration, cost $30 million and involved some 3,000 rodents"

World's largest? Most costly? And more or less not applicable to current reality?

It is exactly things such as this that trigger the general public to mistrust government and mistrust science. What's most unnerving is the gov and the science expected the public to not respond as expected.

Yes. It has been known for decades that biological matter resonates at microwave frequencies but we've been told over and over that non-ionizing radiations cannot cause cancer [0]. DNA is an electricly charged dipole that will heat up when exposed to microwaves and that would damage it [1].

Sen. Wyden Unveils New Plan to Protect Private Data
I think you’d struggle to find people who wear ear protection but aren’t exposed to, for example, other hazardous conditions on a mining or building site that are hard to control for.
I have watched Hank build Order Metrics for the past year and recently joined full time, this is a pretty great company, I would be happy to answer questions too.
Launchaco joins Namecheap
It also helps to use a app like f.lux that dims the screen to emit less blue light. The blue light mess with the sleep cycle.
That's what I initially thought, but even with my rough estimates of around £8500 in NI from the employer, and around £9-10,000 in recruitment fees (assuming roughly 15% of the first year salary, which is already pretty high) - with all of this rounded up to roughly £20k, that's still a full £20k short of what the article says if they were to hire someone for the maximum £60k a year.

The easy argument is that they're full of shit. My guess is that the only way they can attract people to Cardiff is to raise salaries, but even £60k (which is a good salary for Cardiff) isn't enough to stop people from chasing the big bucks in London. They don't want to pay more than £60k, so their alternative is to complain that salaries aren't enough and that the problem is out of their control.
I’ve said it to you before, and I’ll say it again, thank you for your service Matt. Listened to you on the TWiT network and have followed your career ever since.

I’m on vacation this week, and while my wife reads, I spelunk data in the US Census and American Community Survey. I’ve been looking this week at polling proximity for voters based on demographics and RUCA coding, to see how fair access is to voting throughout the country. I’ve had to primarily use third party data sources because the government datasets are poor or non existent (thanks to Census Reporter, Google Civic API, and Google Distance Matrix API).

I hope other engineers like yourself take the challenge and seek to improve our technology. We need it, and it’s important!

Thanks again Matt.

Pusher - Cloud Infrastructure Engineer - London

Pusher’s realtime APIs power applications around the world across various industries. When you see an in-app chat, a collaborative text editor, or anything else that updates instantly—it could be us shifting events behind the scenes.

As a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer you will look after the foundation that powers these services. You will maintain and improve the Kubernetes clusters that host them as well as the automation and tooling that provision the cloud infrastructure underneath. The mission is to provide a reliable platform that scales to millions of concurrent connections as well as help product teams to release new software efficiently and safely.

To this end you will both introduce existing tools into the stack as well as help write our own where none exist.

I agree it could be a slippery slope but we are nowhere near it today. A published work copyright expires 70 years after the author dies, or something similar. That would probably apply to a blog post. 70 years post death is pretty reasonable. Not sure what a reasonable number for a network would be, but I think "forever" is excessive in the other direction.
True but I’m a snob about it since I don’t eat fast food but do like a good burger. It’s something I rarely eat.

So it’s like the Van Halen Brown M&Ms, if they have Sysco ketchup, I can assume (yeah, yeah) the place doesn’t care about what their food taste like. If it’s homemade, I’ll try it out.
If second hand smoke is unhealthy, what about "second hand" radiation?

That's too bad. While I personally have no interest in interviewing with Google, this piques my curiosity. :-)
Hmm, I’ll try it again, but I remember issues with the function call syntax too. Iirc, it had to do with the fact that redefinitions don’t count if the use site is running in another thread. But I’ll double-check this when I get a chance.
Thank goodness too, have you seen the Android store?
With the support of external 4K Monitor from USB-C, all I wanted now is Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.

Give Xcode, and lots / most dev can switch over to programming on iPad.

We can start having / playing PUBG, C&C, Online Games with Keyboard and Mouse.

And hopefully some day they will have at least 8GB Memory on iPad Pro, or even 16G.

The one thing that worries me though is the insane amount of money required for storage. And I don't want to rely on iCloud all the time. I just wish they do Time Capsule Type Network Storage devices again.

I was lazy to add its link, that's where I learnt about the proprietary implementations of various databases.

I wonder if we'll ever get an ANSI-2019 SQL version that tries to merge what various DB vendors have branched off and done. Maybe it already exists? https://www.whoishostingthis.com/resources/ansi-sql-standard...
Or we could support strong regulation and not have to passively accept being pushed into a false dichotomy!
Check with your local university or community college for mentoring opportunities.

For example, the University of California at Davis has a senior design class in their computer science program. You can submit a proposal for a project; if it's accepted you become the mentor and work with the students a couple hours a week over 4 to 5 months. I did this last year and found it extremely rewarding.

Edit: fixed typo
It's crazy to me that this is the way things are, and that a lot of these companies charge a service fee for remote access. A better way would be VPN offerings for the home from ISPs, and the devices working only locally.

I love Miyazaki films and their hand drawing is beautiful, but this article is kind of funny in how he retired in 2013 and went "I wonder if there is any merit to these weird 'computers' people keep talking about?"

Then he spends the next 5 years twiddling around with them and decides that yes, apparently the world was right and they are in fact useful for animation.

Email: grady at gradyjenkins dot io

Hey, my name is Grady and I've been working professionally as a software developer for 2 years now. In my current role I started as a mobile developer but since then I've developed APIs, created ETL pipelines in Python, and designed and developed features for a rewrite of our company website. I'm looking for a software engineering position mainly in New York, but I'm open to relocating to any of the locations I listed above. My dream role would be working with Python for backend/data engineering or Swift for iOS development where I can continue to grow and work on something interesting/fulfilling. I'd love to hear from you if you think there could be a good fit!
The problem with Compile-to-JS languages
I must be blind because I have not once witnessed sexual harrasment at work. I have witnessed systemic sexual discrimination in family court though.

I have no tears for the extreme left wing feminist children who took the day off work at Google.
Some might need to be split, but he’s looking at the wrong platforms. Gab is demonitized. The financial platforms won’t allow them to transact. The app stores won’t allow them to install. All this because a loon sent bombs. Twitter and FB have a history of allowing terrorists to communicate, but they are the darlings of the left so the are left alone. Break up the financial platforms if the government must break up someone.
Thanks! The details really help me understand the options available and why the choice was made. I appreciate your taking the time to answer the question thoroughly.

We could afford all of these things, but for inefficiencies in the system.

Handshake | Product Analyst, Senior Android Engineer, Senior Engineering Manager- Mobile, Senior Software Engineer, Senior Engineering Manager- Data | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | ONSITE REMOTE

Hey, I'm Andrew, a software engineer at Handshake (joinhandshake.com/careers). Handshake is the leading platform helping close the opportunity gap for recent college graduates. Yesterday we closed 40 Million in Series C funding!

We are really passionate about making sure our stack is mature and battle-tested to best serve the nine million students on Handshake.

What if Everyone Voted?
If such addiction is something that can be diagnosed via a reasonably rigorous procedure, then yes, we'll probably have to do something similar to other addictive things: age limits, clear warnings, maybe even independent ongoing testing of the effects. Compare to selling alcohol.

Most social sites already impose age limitations.
If community == accounts with fewer photos,

Isn't it going to be hard to use any biological process to sequester carbon for long periods? The cycling is fairly optimal for life (without smokestacks). I would think the attempts to pull it into more stable forms[1] have more potential (but you can't eat them).
