That's the worst. Pricing is totally arbitrary. You may spend 5000 or 100000 for the same thing and there is no way to know upfront.
>It's not as if people switched just because it had Google branding. Everyone switched because it was quantifiably better.

The knowledgeable minority, maybe. _Most_ people switched because Google pushed it like a piece of adware. Bundling it with other software installers, prompting you to use it whenever you use Google search or other products, and bundling it with an OS.
I think with the recent focus of privacy by the media, users are beginning to trust Google less. Maybe not enough to stop using their services, but enough to at least question what Google might be doing with their data.
Let me know when Firefox stops being an insane resource hog and I will switch.

I'm not sure I understand your point. My point is simply that those 10% are better able to capture the value they create, whereas the bottom 90% are not. I'm not making any assumptions about a fixed-size pie.
> If you can't afford to attract talent at market rates then your business model as it is exists isn't viable.

That sounds kind of extreme, but I think you are on to something. Facebook can generate more incremental revenue per unit developer than company X. It's not that company X is just being cheap offering less and the solution isn't as simple as "raise salaries".

This two-tier system of compensation isn't just a matter of non-FAANG companies being too stingy. Its a matter of economics and business models.

For floating ice, the mass of the ice is buoyantly supported by displacement of an equal mass of liquid water. As the SI units for mass were originally defined by the density of liquid water at STP, of 1 g/mL, when the ice melts, it supplies exactly as much volume as was previously displaced, so there is no change in level.

As it happens, seawater is denser than pure water, with a density averaging 1.088 g/mL, so if we were just talking about floating ice, 1 kg of floating ice would displace 1 kg of seawater, with a volume of 0.919 L, when the ice (mostly-pure water) melts, it supplies additional volume of 1 L, an increase of 8.8% over the submerged volume of the ice. This mixes with the saltwater to reduce salinity and lower the density, but the overall effect is a slight rise in water level.

Now forget about floating ice. Some ice is not floating. It rests upon surface rock. When it melts, 100% of its volume (eventually) flows down into the ocean. When land-ice melts, it has a far greater impact on sea level. But we only need to worry about land ice that rarely melts due to seasonal variation: ice found mainly in the glaciers and icepack on Greenland and Antarctica. Due to albedo and insulation effects, it is more difficult to melt land-ice than sea-ice, but it is indeed melting at rates unprecedented within the relatively short span of human observations.

(If a land-ice glacier calves an iceberg into the ocean, the immediate effect is to raise sea level by about 86% of the volume of the ice, with additional rise occurring as the ice melts.)
For sure, there's all kinds of ways to make money go further. But there still has to be a rule for a constraint.
This is so funny to me. I instantly thought of the CC26xx series (FSK transceivers) from TI when I first read the title, "Surely the next version of their chips will use this amazing new tech and destroy the need for that external epson oscillator!".

Sure enough, that's the first chip quoted in the article. That explains how the newest CC2652 has been available in sampling quantities only for what, a year now?

Nah, USSR would just lock people up even without any proof of anything. But they certainly would've dreamed of it.
Yes there is such a thing as a labor shortage. When unemployment is below 3% (as in the czech republic) there literally aren't any workers available. No I'm not going to pay someone $30/hour to paint my house, and i'm not going to pay $250/hour to some fresh graduate to hack some node.js.

Funny enough, a similar trick can be used to give you the Y combinator.

Let comp be the 'compose' combinator

((comp f g) x) = (f (g x))

Let R be the 'repeat' or 'self-application' combinator

(R x) = (x x)

Then (Y f), the combinator obeying the equation

(Y f) = (f (Y f))

can be expressed as

(Y f) = (R (comp f R))

If our f is NP, then we'll have (NP (R (comp NP R))). So, in other words, NPRNPR is just (Y NP).

Funny enough, taking that definition of the Y combinator, you can get all of its special forms (normal order, applicative order, and polyvaradic normal & applicative order), just by changing the definition of the 'comp' function.

Here's a gist that shows how:

> I take issue with the idea that Chrome was initially adopted, or served, "to break the Web free from corporate greed."

Indeed. When Chrome was first released Firefox had already broken the IE monopoly having reached around 33% of the browser "market share", and was still growing. Speed was the issue I seem to remember most people switching to Chrome for at the time.

I meant that its a cult insofar as any form of mass teaching lends itself to cult behavior; it elevated and unquestioned status exasperates the issue, especially when used as a blind solution to any problem at hand (e.g., only an idiot would go to a psychic; go to a teacher instead... approach both similarly, and your outcome is only accidentally more correct); but in reality, its no magic bullet, and lends itself to the same issues (more problematically, the educated tend to believe they are less susceptible by virtue of their education, despite being offered few such protections)

The bible too isn’t bad on its own... a good wholesome christian turns out to follow a pretty good set of morals.

My railing is against the belief the education is inherently better in these things than any other form of teaching (religions, myths, tradition, etc), but its not — critical thinking is outside of it, and most won’t partake in it regardless of which teaching methodology. The only saving grace is that education supposedly embraces it as an operation, where perhaps the christians might have once damned you for it, but in practice, education systems try quite hard to minimize the act (it would slow down standardized teaching, and memorization far simpler, scalable and cheaper to teach)
Standardizing size and shape across brands does not appear to bother soda companies when they are packaging their product in cans. It doesn't seem unreasonable to require them to do the same for bottles in order to avoid mountains of plastic waste.

Doesn't matter. What matters is consistency in the repo. To this effect, it's important the CI process enforces it - code reviewers could never do it, and it's a waste of their time. I highly recommend auto-formatters like Black, Prettier, Gofmt, etc. They take so much cognitive load off devs and reviewers, it's completely worth it. (In practice, this means whoever sets up the CI process gets to decide :P)

Sure, the point is

1. To use a small dataset that can be fed from the relatively small Colab VM (so people can play with it themselves)
2. To use a well known model (so people can focus on the implementation parts of it)

There's a resnet example in the previous example in the series (though the dataset is too large to feed from Colab).

Also, this is very early stage software, so things are a bit more verbose than they should be :).

You are missing something important: they are storing enough heat to last for a couple weeks of no wind (or a cold snap). Enough DC batteries to heat a house that long are expensive and dangerous (fire hazard). A large water tank (10 tons of water or more!) is a lot safer to have around the house. The water tank also means the ability to locate your load anywhere isn't important: either way you have to design your system around the tank.

Also, DC is less efficient as the losses at your generator is heat that isn't captured. Generators are typically 80-90% efficient. This is pedantic though and doesn't matter (if this was the only concern DC is wroth the losses because you can divert it to lights or something else that is also useful)

And you know that the charge master prices are pretty much phantasy and nobody knows what the insurance rates are. They should have to open up all pricing. There should be no hidden negotiated prices and all historical prices should be published.
Then it's quite possible that your house will stay unpainted and your node.js will stay unhacked. Due to the labor shortage the people who can do those things will be getting paid to do them though, so they won't have any problems with this situation.

That's a wonderful idea! It's an ideal way to engage with people.

With that said there might be some significant limitations on the approach. The principle one is that it relies on knowing the individuals involved fairly well. This is easy in a close-knit and small startup environment! It could perhaps be more difficult in a sizable enterprise or open source context where you don't know the other party, don't have time to build a relationship, and/or can't rely on a long conversation to slowly build up to the least amount of criticism required. There's also the question of how to handle groups or meetings in which different people have different thresholds. When one person's minimum required might be someone else's excessive negativity and they're both in the room, there might not be a winning outcome with this approach.

Knowing your audience is an excellent and wise maxim to live by. It might not always be as simple to live by as could be hoped.
Generally, it was slowing each team down to implement new features.
That is basically what I am saying. Unless all of this is tied into a counter-signed contract, it is all rather meaningless. I would suggest that almost nobody has such an agreement with their end user service providers.

I am no lawyer, but I don't see a problem with putting a lie into a financial statement that is in no way related to financial data. It would just be disregarded as unrelated to financial reporting. I am also not aware of any companies doing this. I could see this causing a deeper dive into an audit however.

The usual HN refrain here is 'pay more'.

And as a developer in NYC, I'd say this is accurate, but simplifies the problem a bit too much.

Companies like their salary bands. Companies like to hire people at around the same compensation as current employees in the same role with around the same experience.

The problem is that demand has recently gone up and pay should go up with it, but companies are refusing to adjust their bands and greatly increase pay for their current employees across the board.

So, instead of addressing the pay issue head on, we're seeing a few really really bad practices:

- Lose candidates at the offer stage

- Try to get comp expectations out of the way earlier.

- Losing candidates to Big Co. for big pay discrepancies is likely tolerable
- Losing candidates over $20k salary band issues is absolutely unacceptable
- DO NOT let HR takeover the closing process.
- Don't try to give an exploding offer
- Don't say an offer is 'best and final'
- The CTO or VP eng should give the offer and
make it a priority to close the candidate

- Giving pay increases to current employees only when they have other offers or explicitly ask for it

- Giving regular title bumps to justify pay increases

- Your 'senior' engineers will be involved with hiring.
It's better to give junior/mid-level engineers big raises
than title bumps that will make hiring talent more difficult

If these points sound obvious, they're not. As a candidate, I have not seen a single company that follows them.

And this post just addresses issues around compensation. I haven't even begun to touch on being honest around your interview process. But let me put a few questions out there as well:

- How many rounds do you have?

- 3 is probably a maximum. Never have more than one on-site

- What is your accept rate at each round?

- the accept rate should increase from round to round

- For testing candidates

- be very clear about what questions you're asking and why
- know, objectively, what is considered a pass vs a fail for every question

You always find the smartest bunch in these threads. Proof: not a single downvoted comment so far.

The administrative/insurance side of American healthcare is probably one of the worst, if not the worst in the developed world. But the quality of the care itself (the actual treatments) is very high, probably one of the very best. I think the American health care is especially good in terms of treatment availability: many drugs are simply not available in other countries (or are available but not covered).

Some people are genuinely concerned than touching the former (administrative side) will result in lowering the level of the latter (quality/availability of care, drugs, etc.). That it's the inherent high cost of the current US system that somehow makes it so good in terms of availability/quality of care. I disagree, but can somehow understand the line of thought.

EDIT: I have no idea to what extent care is really better in the US than elsewhere, but know first hand of someone who had to pay for interferon out of pocket in Japan because it was not yet covered at that time. It's not rare for the newest US drugs to take many years to cross the Pacific ocean...

Before ACA, there were lifetime benefit limits. After ACA, there is no limit, so it will have greatly changed the situation that people facing years of very expensive treatment faced. Now, you are spending a max of $10k per year on in network providers, or whatever your annual out of pocket max is. Before the insurance company had the option of telling you that you've maxed out your benefits and you're on your own, and/or not offering health insurance coverage for you in the future period.

The removal of lifetime benefits, ability to deny pre-existing conditions, and setting a maximum range between the lowest premium that can be offered and highest premium that can be offered greatly improved access to health insurance benefits for everyone. At the expense of making it more expensive for the young and healthy, but obviously someone has to pay, and we as a nation don't want it to be via taxes.
Other than AMP, I can't really think of a case that I would characterize as "Google abusing its position" w.r.t. Open Web. It was Chrome that led the push for PWAs, which I think is both great for the Open Web and consumers... The author complains about other vendors being "called laggards", which - let's be honest - we're really talking about how long Apple/Safari dragged their feet on Service Workers... and they _should_ be called out for that because it was an incredibly cynical thing to do to protect their walled App garden from the Open Web.
