Yes I did. I was always very exposed on the Amazon stock since I always had 2-3 years worth of granted RSUs that hadn’t vested yet. I didn’t want that much exposure.
It's bewildering how even 2 would be sufficient. You'd expect some kind of 3 way setup where a single sensor failure is detected via majority quorum. Especially for anything that directly has the ability to alter control planes on the aircraft.

Just to clarify, when I said market value I was referring to the highest price you would get if you sold it on the open market (of course in this case you wouldn't just list it on ebay). Which is different from Google's bug bounty program as they are the only buyers in that system and could offer you as little as they wanted (or nothing at all), and you would have no recourse.

I had made a comment in another thread, where I think my education hurt me, associates. I took about a 50K pay cut up front to go a FAANG. That came with a demotion as well. So I can see the pay cut not equaling responsibility. But I was in a immediate position and didn't have a choice to say no.

Best comment.
Two seems sufficiently airworthy as long as you warn the pilots that there's a failure they need to consider ("AOA disagree") and avoid control decisions based on the disagreeing system.

It appears that the AOA disagree alert exists on the plane but is an optional paid feature (!).

If you throw in NEA's new fund, that's five funds where $300M is less than 10% if they did the whole round, and if the economics are great, a bunch of growth equity funds.

It's crazy to me that you'd invest that much without having more data on the unit economics given none of these companies even have an advantage on making the underlying scooter. The more scooters you have and the more market share you have, the faster your bleed money. If the unit economics were great with off the rack scooters, what's to stop Lyft/Uber from adding a scooter option given they already have the demand side of "trying to get somewhere"?

Vest means you sign on you get 40 shares, but they become available over a delayed period.
5 vest in the first year
5 in the second

Vest means become available to sell or trade. You are also given stocks at bonus time. Encouraging you to stay around.

Poll based opscans are (should be) configured to reject spoiled (or unreadable) ballots.

So ballot marking technologies have marginal utility. Expensive fix for a non-problem.

For complying with HAVA mandated accessibility, the Automark is slightly less bad than the others. The only solution which actually fulfilled all the requirements and was preferred by the disabled community is a non-electronic protective ballot sleeve called the Vote-PAD. Alas, it hasn't been available for quite some time. Being cost effective, meaning less pork, it didn't have any champions.

Fortunately, a new ballot marker, twenty years too late, doesn't help with the increasingly fashionable postal balloting, so there's no danger this latest noble effort will have any benefit.

TL;DR: hardware security, software security, authentication of voters, and the tech literacy of the average person.

Because now instead of securing centralized voting locations and machines you somehow have to create perfectly secure software running on you Aunt Flourence's machine with 51 tool bars and 3 different bot nets installed and also make sure she can use it properly and securely. Oh also now you're accepting votes as bits over the internet giving nation states probably the juiciest target and the widest possible attack surface (see securing every voters computer).

Even using something like the IME and secure enclaves to take the computation outside the the range of your average exploit it's still vulnerable to attack.

Then even if you've perfectly secured the hardware and software you're just left with the largest login/key infrastructure problem of all time with the average voter having to understand how to not be tricked into not actually using your secured software and hardware environment...

Assuming these are RSUs are in a listed company whose shares are liquid, the things that are important are:

- the list of vesting events (including date and # shares)

- the current market price of the stock

You can use the above to calculate your future income at this job (after adding your cash salary and expected bonus). This will provide a benchmark against which to evaluate future job offers.

If you want to diversify your portfolio (rather than having a large part of your wealth linked to the stock price of your employer), then you could sell any shares immediately as they vest, and use the money to buy an index tracking ETF.
They are retail prices. It's been known for a few weeks now that it would be ~10% more expensive than the model 3, where the standard range model is $35k pre-"savings"

Without being a car enthusiast these are clearly not in the same category to me. I have hard time believing anyone being close to an X would not feel it: it is much higher. You feel much higher on the road seating in it.
It is less clear cut between S and 3, but driving them is making you feel how much larger/bulky the S is (having to fit luggages in the 3 is also making you realize how smaller it is). And S wouldn't fit in my garage while my 3 is fitting just fine :)

I think the authors point though is that all our effort into the algorithms where algorithms to do just one thing - search - and that we used that in conjunction with more compute power.

I'll agree that the author emphasizes compute power, but his real point still holds. Monte Carlo search may not be classic brute force, and neural networks guiding it may also not be standard, but the two just let you effectively search on a massive scale.
I guess I'm more worried about false negatives (i.e. people doing poorly who would do well on the job) than false positives. I have worked with excellent coworkers who I think would likely do really poorly on DP questions because they didn't do contest programming or didn't happen to learn it in their education.

Recursion is a great thing to include in an interview (in moderation), no objections there. Many real-world situations are naturally recursive, and a good grasp of recursion helps build a strong intuition for many aspects of programming. DP (specifically designing recursion with overlapping subproblems) is a much more specific technique that I think isn't as beneficial for programming ability, though I certainly don't doubt that people who know DP well are often also good programmers.
A) like I say, in practice issues that are only detected after large deployment are small. If they weren't small, you'd have been able to detect them earlier.

B) absolutely, but if a large subset of the jobs recently restarted you get noise and nonsense

C) indeed you can do exponential continuous rollouts, but then you are getting pretty close to a 3 or 4 stage where each stage is a 5x increase in size or whatever.
Rivian is a great contemporary design truck. I can't wait to see the "futuristic" Tesla truck Elon is so excited about!

Do the rear facing child seats count? Also you can’t install those after market.
It was a moderately funny lame joke 8 years ago. Today it might be the most drawn-out lame joke in corporate history.
Its not for everyone.
Did they really bother though? I mean, I’m sure they have people employed, but something is seriously mismanaged. How did they let it get so bad? This should have never gotten to the point that another company had to say, “WTF is with all the child porn?”

Saying you have team working on something, but not giving them appropriate resources, not taking the problem seriously, is same as not bothering. It’s same as saying, “We take your concerns seriously”, and then throwing the complaint in the trash. Their actions betray they’re true feelings.
No, they are the actual price. The price with incentive plus "gas savings" is about 5k cheaper. As for the website, look down and to the left for the full retail.
That's a ridiculous analysis of anti-nuclear sentiment in Australia. Australia is a democracy and many minor political parties have responded to genuine community concerns that developed since the cold war around non-proliferation, disarmament, testing, nuclear waste management, aboriginal land rights, mining degradation.

The current focus of energy policy is on reducing GHG emissions, reliability and affordability of supply. The installed cost of nuclear power does not make it an attractive option compared to fast installation of solar and wind generation.

Your observations don't disprove anything in the article. The author doesn't say that brute force is the way to go, and one has to cease all tries to optimize just waiting for computing power to increase. He says that essentially all attempts to build AI by modeling human thinking lead to nowhere, because their are inherently too complex, with simpler statistical, or search-based methods constantly winning. What you wrote here is absolutely in line with his words. "Neural network" contrary to its name doesn't work by emulating human.
> Candidates who have learned DP in school usually find them really easy, and candidates who haven't usually don't even have a chance at solving them

is directly related to

> DP comes up almost never in the real world

If you haven't studied DP at school, done competitive programming, or Leetcoded for interview prep you are not likely to have encountered it doing everyday work. And even naturally talented coders are going to struggle with unfamiliar types of problems.

Unfortunately, I don't see a way out of this. It's probably true that programmers who are good at solving DP problems are generally quite good, which is why DP problems get asked at interviews. It's a good signal for ability to learn difficult things, which is a desirable quality in employees. This means that good programmers who don't know DP are forced to learn it or accept that they won't clear some interviews. Absent some other way to clearly signal technical ability, I think DP problems are here to stay.
Wouldn't be surprised

Your edit breaks the site guidelines, which ask: Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Yes it can sting when one's comment is downvoted, but the guidelines ask all of us not to react in the usual tedious and sarcastic ways. A better approach is to take a moment to reflect on what in your comment might have attracted downvotes; if you notice anything to improve in the future, note it; and if you don't, just move on.

> For some reason most people seem to be born without the part of the brain that understands pointers

Well, that's just false. Everyone can understand pointers given both time and interest. I realize Joel likes to think him and people like him are "special" and born with innate super powers, but we have overwhelming evidence that it isn't true.

I certainly wouldn't recommend hiring someone to write embedded systems that don't understand pointers, but if you are hiring a generalist, a good engineer can figure it out if it becomes a job requirement down the road.

These are the reasons literally everything Joel says should be taken with the biggest grain of salt you can find. He seems like a smart dude, but like a lot of smart dudes that are aware of their intelligence he highly overestimates (and overvalues) his particular opinions.

My advice: don't be like Joel and use anecdata to drive your theories on what constitutes a good interview. You're already writing exactly like he does, and that's not beneficial to you or to those you're interviewing.

Tesla Model 3 - $31450 right now after CA + Fed rebate

Tesla Model Y - $48200 likely no rebate available at release

Tesla Model Y premium over 3 = $16,750

Keep in mind the Model Y also includes the premium interior features which cost an additional $3500 to get by upgrading to the Model 3 mid range, bringing the premium over the 3 to $13,250. The Model Y also gets 80 miles of additional range over the base Model 3.
I am excited to try this and hope it proves easy to setup and reliable to use.

X11 forwarding is just terrible, completely useless over WAN.

sshfs is also a bad solution for coding as it doesn't do inotify properly, so if a file changes on the remote end it doesn't properly notify your local mount of the changes. Even worse, doing tons of small i/o operations (which is exactly what git does) is terribly slow with sshfs over WAN.

Right now I do most of my work in vscode locally and use the "Run on Save" plugin to automatically rsync my code changes to the remote server(s). It's the best solution I have found after trying many things.

vim is great for remote work too. very great in it's own right. But even despite the electron-based UI, the local, "native" experience and plugin ecosystem of VSCode is unmatched IMO.

You’re talking about this incident as if Boeing anticipated a crash per year but it is happening at an unacceptable 2 crashes per year. We don’t know what went wrong. We don’t know what went wrong. Inherently “stable” planes have been crashing for decades, it’s a little early to be mad at Boeing for a design decision considering we know almost nothing at this point. I’m not blaming the pilots, I’m not blaming anyone, I’m advising we wait for the report before getting out the pitchforks.
