But on the other hand, churn sparks more churn. So you don't pay your "good engineer" and she leaves. Other engineers start wondering why, and start looking around the market. Another one leaves, and then all of a sudden you have a ripple effect where several people follow suit and leave in a short time.

> the company aims to give people the taste and nutritional benefits of meat without the negative health and environmental impacts associated with livestock products.

The goal of the founder seems to be primarily the negative impact animal agriculture has on the environment/climate, while matching the same taste/nutrition of meat (not improving upon it).

I think it says more about how unrelated traditional CS programs are to getting students "work force ready".

While I wont deny the foundational knowledge that CS degrees can offer, it doesn't seem to make much a difference in earning potential.

The biggest difference between CS degree holders and bootcampers / no degree holders is the amount of time + effort required to land that first job. It seems that once you land that first job, there is not a huge difference in earnings between traditional and non-traditional engineers.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out over time. I'm curious what the average earnings will be between bootcampers vs 'others' in 15-20 years.
Been meaning to write a blog post about this, but my 2 cents is this: The degree of change in a programming language ecosystem is inversely proportional to the expected lifespan of the systems being built using that language.

One caveat for the pedantic - yes, as the expected lifespan becomes zero, so does the rate of change. (i.e. you have a dead language)

The lifespan of a system gets longer the closer you move from the UI through the business logic and finally to the underlying data. It isn't uncommon for a business to rebuild its frontend website every 1.5 years or so, whereas their systems-of-record might be expected to last a decade or more.

Since JavaScript is used most frequently on the frontend (for obvious reasons), and new frontend projects kick off more frequently, there is less need for backwards compatibility, fewer risks to trying the new and shiny framework, etc.

I'll probably get internet slapped for saying this, but I would predict that JavaScript never does become the preferred language for the system-of-record type backends no matter how quickly it evolves. In fact, precisely BECAUSE it evolves so quickly. What makes it a great fit in the one niche, makes it a poor fit in the other. Lest this be taken as JavaScript bashing, note that the same thing happened to Java in reverse. It was evolving too slowly for the frontend niches it tried to move into years ago.

I love Django. I've used it for the last 8 years. I'm happy to see the project is still thriving.

At this point, for me Django is pretty much synonymous with Django REST framework (https://www.django-rest-framework.org/). I can't imagine a better API than Django w/ REST framework.

For static sites I use Django's templates. Otherwise, I just use Django w/ REST framework for my API, and to serve up index.html. My index.html will include a link to my JS bundle(s) - I use a separate build system (Webpack/Babel/etc) to handle JS.
>> I do wonder how many people know that the wealthiest companies are private

Some of the largest companies are state-run. If that's what you mean by "private" companies, then yes this is true. But I think that when people say "private" company, they generally envision wealthy individual or family owners, not state owned entities.

If by private, you do mean wealthy individuals/families and not states, then this is doubtful. Apple sold over $200 million iphones last year at a large profit margin, and that is why they are a giant company. Even with exceptionally high revenues per employee, Apple employs over 100,000 people. It's not easy to just disguise what you're doing at that level. There are definitely some very wealthy families out there whose finances are opaque. However, it's doubtful that any of them are secretly running companies anywhere near the scale of Apple.

> The finding that most surprised me was that the mean salary for an engineer without a college degree is only $3k (~2%) less than for those with one; this gap is much smaller than in the labor market as a whole.

The sample set of people using TripleByte is not going to be remotely representative of the market for developers as a whole. Candidates with stronger resumes are not going to be using third party recruiters to spray their resume around; they are going to be applying directly to the companies they want to work at or getting headhunted by the companies themselves.
The article restates a presumption that by offering advanced students harder coursework, they are "leaving behind" the rest of the students. However, by the very same logic, if 20% of the kids get ahead by one year, aren't we just leaving behind 80% there, vs 100% in the no-algebra-offering scenario?

In most analyses of STEM, the top echelon of US students is NOT behind the rest of the world's top echelon: it's only in the medians/means, accounting for the vast number of poorly performing Americans, do we see the international STEM education gap.

Therefore, I'd argue this policy is actually detrimental to the one and only group of students we are doing well with in the USA, namely the top tier of students.

Seems a rather glaring omission—as a software engineer in NYC, roughly 55% of my total annual compensation comes in the form of a cash bonus.

Since total compensation tends to vary more significantly than base salary, I would continue showing the salary-only graph by default, with an option to toggle total compensation as a second series.

Yeah, I just spent a couple hours configuring CMake when I was porting a Windows app to Linux, and it was a pain tracking down all of the dependencies. I had a similar app in Rust that worked with a `cargo build` out of the box (actually, my friend rewrote my Rust version to C++ because I was lax in updating it).

Say what you want about Rust v C/C++, but you cannot tell me that Rust's build process isn't easy. In fact, building for other platforms is pretty trivial, just `rustup add <target>` or wherever and you can target pretty much any common platform and many uncommon ones, and those targets will get updated with everything else. In fact, it's so nice that I have to convince myself to not use it as the way to distribute CLI apps (`cargo install <tool>`).
In case of Goldman an article like this was followed by an acquisition of a crypto startup (Poloniex) about a year ago.
From the school district’s page justifying the new course sequence:

“Historically, rigor meant doing higher grade-level material at earlier grades, and equity meant providing all students equal access. The CCSS-M require a shift to seeing rigor as depth of understanding and the ability to communicate this understanding, and to seeing equity as providing all students equal success.”

If the goal is equal success for everyone, you have to hold back the high-achievers so the rest of the group can keep up.

The last one being the key: they acknowledge they will run it even if it's not profitable. See my other comment.

> to replace professional judgment (acquired through personal experience and talent)

The thing is there is no magical way to measure this. How you define personal experience and talent? From the number of years spent in the industry? It's still back to another metric.

Metrics do matter. Common sense does also matter. Making decisions in a chaotic world is indeed difficult.
Really enjoy them but I found they were a bit too thin from A&W. Managed to get the retail version (4oz vs the A&W 3oz) and was really impressed. There is one thing that I've found with them that I don't like. They have a very peculiar smell (think cat food) while cooking which tends to linger.

I'm curious, what would you consider an appropriate food? I personally look for high fat/protein when picking my food, and the there isn't much reason to believe salt is bad for you.
Yes. Most mobile connections are not real internet connections. I agree.
Everything is a chemical.
Likewise for The Terminator and AIs. People almost treat these movies like they're historical documentaries, just so they can toss out cheap relatable memes.
At this point in my observation of the diet wars I have concluded that no diet is based in science and everyone is wrong. Like religion.
I skipped this part and read the rest, I felt zero condescencion whatsoever. I guess that's something you guys cannot grasp.

OK but why? People need money. Why does it matter whether it's called 'welfare' or 'freedom dividend'?
"Assume you have 20k positive equity in your current vehicle" Yeah, that's definitely an assumption.
> So basically Cloudflare created an app with Cloudflare branding and set up a Wireguard server for everyone.

Not just one -- servers in 175 (and growing) locations spread around the world, and the app will always use the closest one to you. That's arguably a lot more important that what protocol it uses, and is not something you could easily DIY.

This terrifies me. I've been trying to get up the nerve to talk to my doctor about my mental health for years now. I've been depressed on and off for a large portion of my life. I've always been really wary of pills though and reading things like this makes me worry even more. I wonder if the efficacy is actually there or if the withdrawal is worth it.
Let's not forget how Cloudflare got started...

The Department of Homeland Security offered to buy the data from Project Honeypot (run by Matthew Prince and Lee Holloway), and they sold it to them for $20,000. Michele Zatlyn (a classmate of Prince) said "if they'll pay for it, other people will pay for it."

"And so the idea for Cloudflare was born, with Ms Zatlyn as its third co-founder." [with Prince and Holloway]

.all() doesn't actually do anything, and could be omitted. The beauty of this setup is if you need to rewrite the implementation of .to_dataframe() to optimize it, you can (e.g. to remove the .values() you're worries about and use your above code)

I hate these take-home code projects, to a point where I won't do them for similar reasons that you mentioned ("we're not moving forward, we will keep your resume on file!").

It's sort of a selfish way of interviewing; to write good code for these projects, it can take me upwards of 8 hours. An engineer where I live (NYC) can fairly easily make $50/hour (usually more), so they effectively expect me to give $350-450 of time for this company where there's a fairly high likelihood that they'll tell me to buzz off. I typically write in a very functional lispy style (even when I did JavaScript), and while the overall understanding of FP has improved in the last couple years, a lot of the interviewers would simply not understand what I was writing, and ask me to write it "more object oriented".

Big corporations like Google can get away with that, but for a small startup I really don't think it's worth it to do them (not to mention that I had a friend who did one of these assignments, and they ended up using his code in production without paying him).
> Until the 1960s, most of the population was nomadic or seminomadic; due to rapid economic and urban growth, more than 95% of the population is now settled.

you would expect that the massive population explosion, enrichment and urbanization would empower at least some liberalization some 3 generations later, or at least catch up with average middle east culture
Or a trademark...
Well, one of the big differences is the fact that you don't have to provide any information to use 1.1.1.1 or Warp, just download the app. That means that at worst, the only personally-identifiable information they get is your IP and usage patterns.

If CloudFlare is bought by Comcast and they start doing Bad Guy Things™, then your exposed surface area is rather low.
Later stage startups also have equity packages similar to FAANG based on their valuation.
No, it doesn't taste (or smell) good because it's nutritious. The cravings are a psychological reflex of remembering something you liked the taste, nutritious or not.

There's people who doesn't consider charring meat having a good odour, and that doesn't make it less nutritious. There's super tasty things which are horribly un-nutritional, or even poisonous. That goes both for smell and taste.
Try serving your static content from a specialized host, for example firebase hosting.

Then, you don’t need to serve any static content from your API server and can do away with nginx.

Use the whitenoise package for serving the Django admin pages if you still need them for administrative tasks.
> I'm not sure why that is bad. The more standardized the interview process is, the more consistently people can prepare for interviews and know what to expect.

Yep, agree. You tend to then hire folks who are good at interviewing and not at getting the job done. I think there is no right answer but multiple right answers. Provide three or four different interview loops and let the candidate choose which one they want to opt for: for instance, one loop is the standard algorithms/data-structure, the other loop is a take-home problem, the third could be tptacek-style, the fourth could be stripe-style, and so on...

> That's an obviously false premise.

Sorry, I didn't get. The article argues that obviously that many folks with that much amt of work experience can't all be secretly terrible that we continue to find it hard to hire and so the current interview process needs an overhaul.
They allow vegetarians to utilize hundreds of years of meat-based recipes with a simple substitution. Instead of your whole diet changing, you can just swap some ingredients.

For the same reason, they're great for restaurants to retrofit their menus to be veg friendly.
In NYC, and in the financial sector in particular, total total compensation often includes cash bonuses, while stock components are less common compared to S.V.

Without insight into total compensation, these numbers are only minimally useful.
I don't see your point. Maybe it is true for off the shelf stuff. I may assume that a lot of YC readers build their own system.

I just build a rack for my desk. I have not really put it under load, but I have to see the GPU, Power supply or Case fan spinning yet. For now I only have only once fan for the case. The only fan that moves, but silent is the CPU fan. The only thing that you can hear: The 10 TB HDD.

Median income is currently a bit over $30k. I can't see how you can make the assumption that increasing median income by 30% or so would not result in extreme economic growth.
