For about a month or so I tried browsing with JavaScript turned off but gave up after having to modify settings for just about every single site I visited to get pages working, often with them silently failing in the background leaving me wondering what was going on. Sometimes I'd get halfway through a payment transaction before realising that the lack of JavaScript was preventing it from going through and then changing settings and reloading the page would break my session. Long story short, I gave up on this and have succumbed to running JavaScript for all sites again.
I think the disease is actually political systems which dramatically misalign the well-being of the rich and the rest of us. If you fix that, everything else will fix itself through much more long-term political decision making.
There have been rumours that Samsung is working on this "foldable phone" form factor for wide distribution, the "Galaxy X" (or "Galaxy F"): http://uk.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-x-foldable-smar...

This start-up (that I'd never heard of) appears to have pipped them to the post!
I'm not sure about you, but most people with js "disabled" don't browse with javascript disabled entirely, but instead use a whitelisting/blacklisting plugin, otherwise they don't be able to access many essential sites (eg. banks). under this setup, whitelisting google isn't going to decrease security unless you think they're going to serve a 0day when you sign in.
Funny, I have the same story from the other side. They could have chosen to not alienate and lay off the clojure team. We were pretty happy, working on interesting projects, independent enough to get things done. But, turns out paying more for a smaller team of experts who know what they’re doing isn’t compatible with Quarterly-Earnings-Driven-Development.

> You'd think that would be an obvious feature for a digital amplifier.

That's because these amplifiers are not digital. The control loop is generally analog. Though there are chips which do in fact use digital inputs and do most of the work via fixed-function DSP, but those are mostly bigger chips targeted at 5.1 or 7.1 systems.

Bang on. A popular amp is a TPA3116 module. You can see thousands of examples on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=S...

For speakers, the cheapest option is to buy some second-hand ones on eBay/Gumtree/Craigslist. Just Google model names and look for ones with good reviews. I like British speakers, so I usually search for Tannoy, B&W, KEF etc.

Both are editorialized. I think a better, more neutral title would be "Google now requiring JavaScript to be enabled to sign in".
How would one best control the output volume on such a DIY amp? 2-channel logarithmic 10K potentiometer in front of both inputs?

> If you change the structure of some fundamental primitive type like how strings are represented, then you're probably going to have to rewrite your whole pmem arena.

That's part of the reason why I was thinking something like Cap'n Proto or Protocol Buffers might make sense for a lot of structures. You pay a bit of cost for writing but get to gracefully handle upgrades to the structure if you do it right. I'd imagine you want to use something higher level just above them to organize the records. But this is all a really new area of thinking about this so I'm probably being a bit obtuse about it.
Ah yes this is a common feature request. We'll get to it soon! For now searching the company name in textbox + clicking on column sort may help.
Interesting site - it's nice to have such straightforward compensation numbers.

Worth mentioning, though - several tech companies intentionally and transparently attempt to pay more for some locations. My company, for instance, pays way more if you're in Silicon Valley than pretty much anywhere else.

It'd be nice aggregate, summarize, and compare companies based on a single location.

I get the article's point -- no arguments there. But calling the macbook "an inferior machine at a higher price" seems kind of a stretch IMO.
You are providing an example of why people wind up reasonably overreacting to when they reject experts.

The fact that someone is an expert makes them an authority figure. Whether or not they are effective is an independent question. In some areas it does. In others it doesn't. As long as that person follows the standards of practice for their profession.

Believe it or not, a significant fraction of medical treatments offered have no quantifiable evidence saying whether or not they work. Admittedly a lot fewer than used to be the case since the movement towards insisting on evidence-based approaches in medicine started in the 1990s. But it has not reached all areas of medicine yet.

In particular there is no evidence that talk-based therapy is better than a placebo (such as acupuncture) at treating basic conditions like depression. See http://theconversation.com/counselling-doesnt-work-in-the-lo... for a random link verifying this.

Now if this shocks you, then reflect on the fact that within my lifetime, therapy gave large numbers of people false memory of abuse that didn't happen, psychiatry subjected large numbers of people to electroshock therapy despite a lack of evidence that it worked. If you go back just a little further, to my parent's lifetime, tens of thousands of people had their brains very literally scrambled in frontal lobotomies (usually with an ice pick inserted through the eye socket).

So here is the problem. There are lots of experts who you really should listen to. If you have cancer, don't be like Steve Jobs. But there are also plenty of professions whose practitioners who can be safely disregarded even though by all outwards appearances they are are just as expert. In a situation like this, can you blame people for identifying the wrong professions as ignorable?

Unfortunately for your argument, available experimental evidence indicates that the example that you're responding to is one of the ones that actually IS ignorable.
Right, I get the salary is 2-3x, but does that translate to a much bigger house? Better schools for your kids? Holidays to St Moritz?

Band-aid? Yes, probably. PR Stunt? I highly doubt that. This is way too cynical. Hansjörg Wyss has always been quietly philanthropic. He's old and he's extremely rich.

I'm probably the only one with this opinion...but I sure miss the old days of tube amps that weren't able to be highly accurate. They would roll-off the on the high end, distort a bit all over, and gave a very warm and relaxing feel to the albums I played obsessively. Now I've owned high-end tube and solid-state gear, and the music hasn't sounded good for decades. Combine that with the very limited bits provided by CDs, preventing any possibility of good playback, and music has been completely destroyed. Old timers like me are dying off, and most of the people who remember good music will be dead. Kind of makes me sad.
I don't see any information in what you posted, just the most cliché of all dismissals in that category. That seems to me to be covered by what the guidelines call shallow. We don't need another boring "oh the humanities" go-round on Hacker News, even though some writers have problems with plain language.
This may be true of Class D amps commonly used in home equipment, but many high end powered PA speakers use Class D amps and get very loud with minimal distortion.
Hey, former Google Cloud SRE here-- now work on projects to help companies manage cloud spend. Prediction and especially recommendations for lowering cloud spend can get tricky, but I wrote a piece of software and some grafana dasboards that with one click can deploy and calculate cluster costs if you're using kubernetes. Obviously this doesn't include, say, s3 storage costs per bucket, and doesn't much help if you're not using kubernetes, but this is just a first step.

More general solutions can be instrumented with cloudhealth https://www.cloudhealthtech.com/, but that's a bit more of an enterprise-y solution.

if only audiophiles see it this way themselves...
As far a noise sound quality for cancelling wireless closed headphones go, the Sony's are the best along with Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 on-ear.

There are of course much better headphones, and I wouldn't call them audiophile headphones, but I haven't found other wireless ones that do noise-cancelling and isolation as well and still manage to sound acceptable.
I found that there was extreme variance at the lower levels and that would persist as people moved up through the ranks. A lot of that came down to negotiation or previous salary at the company they were leaving. I'd also say that the Zurich office throws the salary average much higher. The real strat was to get hired at Zurich, lock in the big RSU package and then take a nugatory salary cut and move to LA or Boulder.
For someone to be at T7 after only 10 years, they would have to be truly exceptional. It does happen, but it's rare.

IIRC Glassdoor is salary, not total comp.
Right, but I doubt Congress would spend that money helping the environment. Look at what they spend money on right now:

* $1,280 per coffee cup: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/10/22/ai...

* $1.2 trillion to “modernize” the US nuclear arsenal and production facilities: https://billmoyers.com/story/the-trillion-dollar-question-th...

* $38 billion in "defense aid" to a foreign country: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/florida-jewish-journal/fl-jj-us...
It's a shame that whomever has bagged 𓂸.com just redirects to google.
Probably because glassdoor averages out compensation over all years despite tech wages continually growing and thus they are weighted down by old data.
One reason is that Glassdoor doesnt deprecate old data (or at least gross it up by CPI)
Is the environment being ruined because environmental advocacy groups or research institutions are starved for cash?

It really seems the only answer is consuming less...which is free.

I think this person means it's very controversial to try to suggest population control especially when the majority of the growth will come from a population that is potentially discriminated against. Another common pushback point is that we like to point at developing countries as polluting the planet but forget that developed countries had no problem polluting for a long time until they got to their current state. Telling some countries that they should curb their industrial aspirations in the name of global benefit seems a bit selfish.
"Objects" have nothing to do with taxonomies, or where you put your state. Objects are only an answer to the question: where does the computation that updates the state live?

Or, to put that another way: objects are minimal abstract computers.

Picture the same situation, except instead of objects, we've got computers. Three, in fact. One that's running a "knife service", one running a "cheese service", and one that's an RDBMS.

To cut the cheese in this Service-Oriented Architecture, what do you do?

Well, probably, you start by getting a cheese handle from the cheese service, and getting a knife handle from the knife service.

Then, very likely, you're going to tell the knife service—passing the knife handle and the cheese handle—to cut the cheese.

And the knife service is in turn going to talk to the cheese service—passing the cheese handle—telling it that the cheese should get cut, and specifying what the knife wants to do.

If the cheese succeeds in getting cut, then it returns updated cheese to the knife, which returns {success, updated cheese} to you.

Why all that? Because:

• Only the knife service contains the code—the business logic—to know how knives work, so only the knife can construct a description of the precise way that the knife is going to try to cut cheese.

• And only the cheese service contains the code—the business logic—to know what cheese is like as a material, so only the cheese can evaluate the attempt by the knife to cut it.

OOP is just like SOA, except that the fact of what "service" (i.e. class) you should talk to about a given object-handle is encapsulated within the object, and is potentially even a mutable property of that object. (Maybe cutting your cheese with a hot knife results in your cheese-handle mutating into a raclette-handle.)

Also note that at no point did I say where the state for anything is. It's in the RDBMS, maybe. Or maybe the durable state for all knives is inside the knife service, and the durable state for all cheeses is inside the cheese service. It's kind of irrelevant. (That's another thing about objects: they entirely encapsulate their state, so it doesn't matter where it is. This allows for e.g. distributed object frameworks where you have local objects that stand in as proxies for remote objects somewhere else. Just like in an SOA, you can have network proxies that stand in for services somewhere else.)

At least in Google they pay almost all of the health insurance. Taxes are slightly lower. So yes you can save a lot. It is very suburban so you will have a larger house then London, but it is not a city. Prices for apartments/houses are high, but you can find something that doesn't eat the whole salary and if you buy a house you hopefully can sell it for more later.

I was a bit shocked at first how dated silicon valley looks at least compared to the price. And the commute is soul killing. Public transport is worse then British trains, with the added problem that the stations are in useless places.

But the weather is great and the job opportunities for software engineers are fantastic. Dating also sucks I have heard.

It helps to form your own corp and go direct. If your company can charge $150 for you, then you have a chance at charging $150 for you. Your company might provide some added value, so you might need to drop your rate a bit, but if you develop customer relationships and consistently meet expectations then you can get away with jacking up your rate a bit. There are times when you still might have to take a lower paying job but it varies.

Chrome team members have said that preventing modern web browsers from leaking enough entropy to uniquely identify users across sessions (fingerprinting) is impractical with all of the features that the modern web provides.

This sentiment has probably lead to some at Google to think that it is justifiable impose pervasive tracking and surveillance technologies as a condition for using Google services.

Look at the new ReCAPTCHA v3 to see how fingerprinting is trending at Google.

Bug was marked as "RCE" because it's possible that it could be used for code execution, though the current PoC only causes a crash.
