Battery depends more on what you are doing.

Most boards and sensors use either 5 or 3.3 volts DC.

You can put the device in a sleep or hibernate mode and have it only connect to wifi periodically or when triggered.

Also, using encryption, like WPA2 increases battery use.

Overpriced would mean in comparison to the price of another identical good at the same point in time, but since that is hard to find in real estate, I've always interpreted it to mean that the return on investment will be lower over a certain period of time for an overpriced property compared to another, either in dollar amounts and/or quality of life terms in case you're living in it.
It was a bad cargo-culting joke.
That is somewhat similar to what Vlad Zamfir's sharding is doing (https://medium.com/nearprotocol/so-what-exactly-is-vlads-sha...)

For a given transaction you'd only need to verify log(n) chains, but the problems from the top level post remain. The question is how you verify the transaction in a given chain. If you verify the entire chain, than you are expected to end up verifying all the chains (since ultimately cross shard transactions will be coming from all shards), removing any benefit from sharding. If you somehow trust that the shards were doing their job properly, then you need to somehow deal with shards being corrupted.

> I would like to know before I finish if it is actually a negative signal, though ;-)

Like all things "It Depends (TM)", I wouldn't worry about it. Since the introduction of the bachelor/master system here more people have stopped after getting their bachelor, but the "default" in much of continental Europe for technical degrees (as far as I can tell) is still to finish a master.

All my friends and colleagues with masters and PhDs in CS seem to have 0 issue finding jobs or getting contacted by Google/Facebook/Amazon recruiters. So worrying about it being a negative signal seems like a waste of time.

My advice would be to set expectations and have a clear roadmap. I agree with comments who identified the lack of leadership.

The point of setting the expectations might solve a bit of "we are moving too slow/too fast". The arguments from both teams that you mentioned are valid because it sounds to me there were no expectations or clear vision of the final product.

An example of setting expectations would be:

- We have feature A.

- Its based on feedback from clients (X,Y and Z).

- This will save the user 30% of the time.

- We need an MVP or proof of concept in 12 weeks.

Now what the above will communicate to engineers:

- Its fine to make short-cuts and workarounds.

- Its time bounded.

- We will get more feedback when it is done then we will iterate and refactor, or even write from scratch.

- We will learn from it and get insights to make better decisions in the future.

Also, hire a VP of engineering which will have a fresh look at the team, spot the bad apples and build engineering culture.

Show HN: Siri shortcut to delete EXIF metadata from pictures before sharing them
I’ve thought about this for a bit, and I’ve decided that you’re wrong. You most certainly have.
This is all ridiculously country- and culture- specific. For example many places in Europe have adopted what I think is originally a German idea that anything vaguely technical, if done professionally, is engineering. So you have "engineers of chemistry" which is kind of reasonable but also "engineers of mathematics" which seems odd.

Here, you can call yourself whatever you like but if the company hiring you requires diplomas or certificates, then you either have them or don't. Because of that, nobody makes a fuss about it.

I also couldn't machine a part for your carburetor.

My understanding is that the ECU controls the fuel injector, though, and that most of the inputs and outputs are fairly well known; and I'm told that it's a pretty simple control loop with the oxygen sensor, the TPS and mass airflow sensor. All in all, if it came down to it, I think I'd have better luck building an ECU from scratch than building a carburetor from scratch, after having fixed carburetors and fuel injected systems. Machining to those tolerances is hard.

(To be clear, I wouldn't put money on me personally doing either one of those things. I fix computers for EEs, and I'm no machinist. I'm just saying, micro-controllers aren't that hard if you are trying to do a simple thing... machining to carburetor tolerances really is.)

My understanding is that most cars don't have any sort of encryption between the ECU and the sensors; it's all stuff that someone with basic ee training could figure out with 20 year old equipment. If you have a popular/fancy car, people will sell you aftermarket/performance ECUs that are not recommended for use by the manufacturer, so while it's possible that it's a lot harder to do than I think it is, there's existence proof for the possibility.

That's right, trivially. I was in rural areas in The South. No person's experience of rural areas = The South because of the obviousness of the fact that the RHS is a larger set than the LHS and therefore the obvious set equivalence would mean that they are different. Fortunately, I have on the ground experience.

But I don't even have to try that hard because we have surveys these days, and rural voters aren't afraid to show their homophobia.

Also, as an aside, did you think people forgot Prop 8 so fast? It wasn't The Bay or LA that pushed that over the line.
I honestly don't expect to be able to cite any sources regarding Apple's decisions based on their level of transparency into their business.

It seems perfectly compatible for Jobs to make those statements about privacy after weighing the cost for Apple to implement robust cloud infrastructure and services, and (potentially) deciding Apple would just not compete in that space.

It's like Google finally conceding it won't be a social network, only not having wasted a ton of resources before pulling the plug. Actually, with their messaging apps being spun up and spun down, Google may still be in the midst of pulling.
My personal shoes where €40 models that would last a few months at most. I bought more expensive ones, and they would also last a few months at most. Both me and my mom are known in the family for being total shoe disaster zones. So I'd given up that particular fight.

Then one day my wife and me ended up in a small, local shoe shop. No customers there, just the owner. We weren't even looking for shoes. The owner was getting pension-aged and would close his shop in a few months.

He told about how some company would make great but expensive shoes, and build a name for quality. After a few years, a big company would buy the brand, raise the price, lower the quality, and coast on the perception for a few years. He told this cycle goes on and on. He stopped selling the shoes as soon as he know the quality went down. Shoe salesman kept trying talking him into selling these shoes as it was easy money, and he kept throwing them out of the shop. He was getting very pissed off at this point.

He talked me into buying a pair for about €160, which isn't the most I've paid for shoes, but more than I would give for that specific pair - they looked like my normal €40 models. Now these shoes lasted for about 7 years, which basically obliterated any personal record.

Unfortunately, the shop is gone now, and the only shoe shops left are the big chains. I am still willing to spend the money, but I have no idea what I should buy.

> We have a strong culture, but it is widely felt by the rest of the company that the engineering team doesn't adhere to it.

What do you mean "doesn't adhere to it"? Culture isn't a policy document that you can shove down people's throats and expect compliance. Culture is much more organic than that.

> Complaints from other workers range from the decision they made to isolate themselves in their own building

And there are good reasons for that. Engineering requires focus and discipline and therefore usually has a very different subculture from the rest of the company.

> how they actively engage in bickering and in-fighting between their own teams, how they have extremely limited communication to the rest of the company (users of their products), and reports of sexual harassment and racism.

And what did management do about these issues? Did management shut down the infighting? Is management accessible and responsive to users? Did management fire people who were found guilty of fireable offenses?

> There's zero consistency between the message they're sending. Some engineers believe the team is moving too fast, while a different group believes they're moving too slow. In the exit interviews we had complaints of micromanaging mixed with complaints of lack of management. The new flagship application we're building is extremely simple, but has way too many lines of code compared to all our other (more complex) applications. The development process is indeed slow and full of fail-safes, but there's still an astounding number of bug reports for a simple app.

Why did management hire every engineer who walked in for an interview?

Go find some competent engineering management.

Most people are suprisingly callous to anything that doesn't directly affect them. While some is inavoidable, much is just taught as 'common-sense selfishness'. Common in china, and becoming common in the usa. 'CYA', Look out for #1, Pay yourself first, are all good advice but also self-serving to a fault. We here on HN are certainly only rarely exceptions to this. We just hyperfocus on our domain and wonder how 'everyone else' can't see whats obvious to us.

You are right... you can add releases: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/How_to_Add_a_Release

But i did not find any documentation, how to do this programmatically / via API, which would be essential for m4b-tool.

It's not like I want to criticize your proposal. You are absolutely right, yet another track / chapter database would not be very helpful in general - but the things that i could find out about musicbrainz do not really fit my needs. Especially, because musicbrainz is more for music than for audiobooks.

In my opinion, the usability of the web interface, the filtering options and the api of musicbrainz are not always helpful...

An example: Open musicbrainz.org and try to find "Harry Potter" with the search bar on the upper right. It's nearly impossible without further investigation. Sure... you could provide the authors name "Joanne K. Rowling" and then do a facetted search for the title, but in my opinion this could be much better.

m4b-tool is able to use the music-brainz-id for loading chapters and tagging audiobooks. But another problem is, that there is a shift between the cd version, mp3 version, download version etc. of the audiobook. So chapter marks have to be matched via silence detection and best fit, which is not always 100% accurate...

I am working on an audiobook database, that contains very sophisticated filtering options. It's a project just for fun and perhaps it will never be released / online :-) I could certainly do better with my time and the value is questionable, but as long as it's fun... ;)
Hilberts list of problems is way less clear-cut than you think. His first and second problems eventually ended up being “solved” only once people figured out what Kurt Gödel was going on about with his incompleteness theorems. But to many people at the time, this was not really a “solution”.

There are other problems on the list like “formulate physics mathematically” and “further develop calculus”. So Hilbert’s list contains both specific and hopelessly vague problems.
With current gdb (i.e. released this decade), you can define pretty-printers in Python that are loaded automatically and print whatever you think is most important for a given type; the "print /r" command is available to print the raw details when necessary.

But I agree that printf debugging still has its uses.

Economic writing in narrative form is easily misleading and void of relevant information. Numbers are just sprinkled around to support the story, not to give accurate picture.

Even bad economies reach equilibrium. Declining economy can decline too fast and rebound. It seems that Detroit's population is still in decline. Decline has just slowed down. How much of it is from economic cycle is unknown.

As long as Apple operates its services in china, I have no faith in ANY of their empty privacy promises.

It's true tho. When I moved from the private sector to working at a university, I doubled my salary. When I moved from there to working at the government, I tripled my pay from the uni job (moved from perm to contracting, however).
I think you read something into my comment that I did not intend. My comment was specifically about the rundown properties in Detroit that can be had for a song. They are in such a state, however, that you would have to put in tens of thousands of dollars, at least, to make them livable.

>Economists keep telling those left out of our digital future to move to the tech hubs. Sometimes I wonder if they have ever been to places like Jefferson, Iowa, or Beckley, W.Va. If they visit, they will realize that many people there are not looking to move. They are proud of their small-town values and enjoy being close to family. They brag that their town doesn’t need many traffic lights.

Then they can enjoy the economic fruits of their small town.

My parents moved to California from southeast Missouri, also known as "Missourah". As of this day we are the only ones in our family that don't live in Missouri/Tennessee/Arkansas.

My Mom stopped taking my sister and I to visit on our 1 month breaks (elementary school track system) when I was about 12 due to the overall toxcicity of the rest of my family. They resented the fact that my father and her "left" and became succesful in the construction business during California's 80/90s housing boom.

The mindset of the rural individual is that of jealousy. They want the opportunities of a big city where there are more people, but they don't "like" people. That's why they choose to live rural and have that become part of their identity. That "identity" is wholly incompatible with a densly populated area. This is why Trump is able to appeal to these people by promising them good economic fortunes without them having to change their way of life.

I guess someone has to state the obvious here. China has a totalitarian, one party government that puts a lot of efforts into total surveillance of their citizens. They are censoring the local intranet and even have "citizen scores" to create the worst dystopia possible. That alone seems like a good reason to work somewhere else.

UPS drivers almost never turn left.[1]. It is both safer and more efficient to plan your route using almost only right turns.

I am sure Waymo knows this but I'd guess they don't want passengers to feel like the car is taking "crazy" routes. People could act in unpredictable ways if they felt the car was out of control and turning away from their destination.

In the long term, when people are more comfortable with the technology, I suspect they'll change this.
