I've worked at both (Google from 09-14, technical cofounder in 07-08 and again from 14-present, and also a financial software startup from 05-07) and my perception is that the kinds of problems you work on are very different.

At Google you do rigorous engineering, you're intensely data-driven, you have to work at massive scale, everything you touch is a distributed system (with all the skills and pitfalls that comes with working on that), and you'll often learn a lot of fundamental CS algorithms because you need to re-implement them to work across 1000s of machines rather than using a standard library built for a single address space.

As a founder, it's just one problem after another, rapid fire, and you might have 1-2 days to solve something that took 2 months at Google. You do a lot of hacky 80/20 solutions. You need to think big-picture on everything and understand how everything fits together. You solve a much wider variety of problems, but you don't really go into depth with anything. Rigorous engineering isn't really part of a founder's job description, and some people view that as being dumb or poorly trained, but you make up for that in speed, ambiguity, and breadth.

I'd say that when I joined Google in '09, the level of colleagues there was much higher than the general level of technical founder prowess in the Valley, and it remained that way for the whole time I was there. But the types of employees Google hired in '13 were very different from the types of employees hired in '09 (who themselves were very different from those hired in '02), and it wouldn't surprise me if starting in '15 or so the balance started shifting back towards startup founders. Honestly I think the best technical minds today are actually doing cryptocurrency "non-profits" (scare quotes because they're actually being paid by capital appreciation of their founder tokens) - I've been quite impressed by the algorithms being discovered by projects like Ethereum, OmiseGo, MakerDao, zCash, Monero, etc.
That's not correct. Around 25% of the video is discussion around the concept of the radius of photon sphere to the event horizon, and what constitutes the light surrounding the photon sphere (one explanation he gives is that there are infinite reflections). Then he spends the last 30% of the video talking about reflections of the acretion disk. This is the theory that he never included in his original prediction, but doesn't explain why he made that call.

How much more expensive would your house be today than when you bought it? How about 5-10 years from now?
Well this was mostly a US-run effort. It's headed by Harvard University and the key South Pole Telescope is North American.
You laugh, but people sign up to Techstars for just that every year. Pity they didn't throw in some AWS Credits as well.
Your proposal is unworkable because virtually everyone graduates from college with close to zero assets. No matter what someone's ability to repay their loans were, they would have a huge incentive to declare bankruptcy on the day they graduate to discharge the debt.
Most cheap cameras are sensitive to 850nm infrared. If they aren't sensitive it is because there is a filter in front of them. This might be a filter that goes in front of the camera, or filters built into the "Bayer matrix" that creates color vision.

Try seeing if your cheap webcam can see the light from an IR remote control. Remember that IR webcams don't really "see in the dark" but instead they see a scene illuminated by 850 nm LEDs. If your camera can see the light from an IR remote control you will just need to build yourself an IR illuminator which is just a handful of LEDs in a simple circuit.

>Again, I GET IT. But do you understand why some may have these selfish viewpoints?

Psychopathy.
Any instrument can be made favorable. You can calculate out expected values. Sounds like yours was a reasonable deal.

But... assuming they don’t set prices using things other than degree, and that they’re priced to be on average equally profitable with an equivalent loan, you’ll be better off getting this arrangement if you expect to earn less than your average peers, and worse off if you expect to earn more. It’s basically a case of moral hazard. Long term you would expect people with less fiscally ambitious goals to pursue this (e.g. those who want to do more charitable, less fiscally rewarding careers) which means the average rate of return would need to be more punishing than traditional loans.

Mostly this just seems ripe for abuse against the loan providers to me, and that the terms will be made very unfair to compensate.
Unless you mean both spouses should earn around 200k and thus bringing in a FAANG-equivalent income of 400k, I really don't know how you could afford what you are saying on a single 150k-200k salary (and perhaps another 50k for your spouse's salary, since not everybody works in tech).

After paying for CA taxes, fed taxes, kids' schools, rent, car expenses, 401k contributions, I really don't know how you would come up with the savings necessary for the huge down payment required for a house there.

Just last week, a friend of mine got outbid on a ~1.5M house in the East Bay Area because another buyer came in and offered a down payment of $700k (!!), whereas my friend just had a more traditional 20%.

Good luck getting to those savings on a 150k startup salary and mostly worthless options.

In my experience, and I certainly respect yours, people just need to stop working for startups and go to big corporations, period.

And I speak as someone who had a low 7 figure liquidation event from a startup, and I'm still so against startups, because that liquidation event still didn't match the compensation I could have gotten as FAANG all along.

I'm surprised how many people use org-mode.

At least on Hacker News... a Lot of the Polar users mention org-mode as one of the other tools they're using.
>This is such an intellectually dishonest argument.

It doesn't feel that way to me. If you don't like the article recommendations on the new tab page, you can turn them off. You can disable all references to Pocket by setting ```extensions.pocket.enabled``` to false.

You can't do much with Pocket without signing up for a login, aside from reading stories. How is that different from Edge showing stories from MSN on the home page?

Pocket related features are pretty darned minimal, too - there is no sidebar for Pocket built in, the Pocket list doesn't appear in the UI (it just redirects to the Pocket website), there is no keyboard shortcut to save pages to Pocket - there just isn't a lot there.

All that is present is a button in the address bar (that can be hidden) and in page context menus that allow users to save to Pocket. That is the extent of the integration.

So yeah, it doesn't feel all that dishonest to me.
G Suite add-ons were also released at the same time (or at least the update notification stated so) and at least the calendar and email add-ons have been awesome so far.
Though at F and G there is the cost of having to rationalize working for an organization that is evil.
https://eventhorizontelescope.org/ is hosted in the US and the linked image links to a Harvard.edu web server.
That's not entierely true. If the domain doesn't resolve via DoH, Firefox will fallback to the system DNS server.

network.trr.mode

Needs to be set to 2 (fallback), 1 (pick faster), or 0 (dissable DoH) for this to happen. 3 disables the system resolver.
My parents didn’t have mountains of wealth. We grew up in a home where sometimes my mom forced me to go to school even when I was feeling sick because I could get one of my meals there.

In your view of the world, people like me essentially wouldn’t have access to opportunity that would be reserved for the wealthy folks.

You shouldn’t have to care about me individually, but if there are enough people like me, it takes a huge toll on society. You won’t be able to hide from it.
I'm working on our DoH implementation. I'm guessing this is a split-horizon set up with a domain that resolves both internally and externally. If you are willing, we're very interested in these situations and coming up with heuristics to detect and disable DoH proactively. We're also looking into standards changes that could make these configurations more reliably detectable at the application level. I'm selena at mozilla.com.
That's probably because you were talking to " CS-ish PhD students".

First of all, they're looking to validate the choice they made in lieu of becoming a millionaire. It helps them sleep at night to think Google or whatever isn't cool (maybe it isn't).

Second, they're interested and driven by different things.

Every single good/great practical software engineer I know from college is working at FAANG or a unicorn.

They have. Look at zelle. I think it's better than venmo because it is a part of the banks Mobile app and instantaneous transfer is the default, while venmo charges for it
Excepting that they aren't able to 'sell' your labor to a third party, nor are you expected to work for them after graduation.
Some developers use work as an excuse to try something new (or to do something different). This was probably someone who thought a problem was easier than they imagined. Hubris comes hand in hand with experience (seniority?).

These kinds of initiatives happen all the time in every company, including Google. A team lead generally would quash this in the interest of reliability/safety/etc, I think.
I finally get to ask someone directly: in “the a few centuries,” are the two articles considered valid English or is it a mistake?
Yes to both. Certified climate change skeptic right here.

Highly questionable methodology ("Using the DeskTime time-tracking and productivity app, I examined people working in three different environments"). This might make sense in a law office setting where billing is loosey goosey and you're billing by the 1/10th of hour and expected to generate 4K billable hours/year but not in an engineering environment. Be that as it may, it's evidence, but it's pitifully weak evidence that begs to be discounted as it arrives with some spaced out additional recommendations to add plants and artwork, and it's absolutely not proof.
> If you were disciplined and didn’t care about the degree at the end, you’d get a lot more bang for your buck just by watching the YouTube videos and reading the textbook, since that’s basically the level of instruction you get.

Comparing it to my Master’s which has even less faculty involvement I doubt it. Watching videos and reading the textbook leads to the feeling you know something. Doing projects and preparing for exams, that leads to genuine learning. You learn far more working through past exam papers or doing all the questions in the textbook than you possibly could by trying to absorb information passively.
I can attest to this as well. I can't recommend this to anyone else, but personally I'm glad I went through it. I had one hellish week where I was so nervous I couldn't eat. Slept 2 hours a night and lost 5 pounds in one week.

Employees shouldn't be treated like that, and I will never work at a place like that again, but I am a dramatically stronger engineer because of those experiences.
Makes sense considering you can get (A)DSL over the same kind of cables.
On the other hand, if B-before-A is discouraging, then it may be very inefficient. It could act as a filter, but not so much for skill or any particularly useful personal attribute so much as "enjoys B-before-A well enough", which isn't particularly indicative of anything.

In general I do think that B-before-A is a very useful approach, but it cannot be the only approach. For one, it doesn't scale, not as the chain of Bs grows longer over time. We teach a lot more math to students today than 100 years ago, but almost certainly we're taking shortcuts that essentially amount to a,b,a,b -- how else can we manage the otherwise ever-growing cognitive burden of the sum of our knowledge?
I disagree in that I feel the higher effectiveness results in better UI.

Perhaps we need to simultaneously inform people through better education at the same time for how to resist the urge to spend borrowed money whenever possible?
Honestly, all these apps shouldn't even bother detecting for DoH or not. If people want to use DoH they can set up their own local resolver and configure their network for it (and for folks on Windows, that could even be packaged third-party).
Are you happy helping google do what it does? Building a surveillance society and monetizing people?

I think that it would get to me after awhile. Though when younger I probably wouldn't have thought too much about it.
With air support, 1600 marines could probably seize any city on the planet. The key is, strike first and hard before the enemy has time to mobilize. Destroying their comms, they'll have no way to repel them, because aside from the people fleeing on foot, the enemy's central command will be completely unaware that an invasion took place, only that they're being attacked.

This is exactly what happened with war in Iraq. The enemy was completely unable to mobilize.

Naturally, if the enemy is already in a war-time posture and already mobilized, you can't employ this tactic for any city, but it might be enough to seize a port or other piece of strategic infrastructure (such as an air field).
Nobody ever said that about the As!!

Not sure there is a generic ramp time for all SaaS teams. A lot of variables go into it, including market, industry, client demographics, lead sources, individual networks etc.

In general if you have a known process, defined client demo and aren't in a regulated market or not in an enterprise sales price range then I'd target a new sales team member being productive in the first 60-90 days depending on the complexity of the product, their network etc.

If you are in a regulated market, or the price point exceeds common purchasing managers limits than you are talking about a totally different scenario.

Those are just some really high level generic points, a lot goes into setting up a repeatable sales cycle and building the team.

My setup is similar. Pihole with dnssec and dnscrypt-proxy connected to cloudflare. Didn't see a reason to use the cloudflared package instead of dnscrypt-proxy.
One could reasonably wonder why “normal” should be a fallback.
I've worked at two startups, then a BigCo, and now another startup. The wearing of many hats was definitely a leveling-up experience, but I felt that I plateaued in just the way you describe. Equity from both of those first two startups is now worth zero.

In my years at BigCo I worked with engineers who have 10-20 years more experience than I do. Often felt like the dumbest guy in the room. I learned a ton. No comparison. But I would never have gotten the job there without my previous startup experience. And without that experience I'm not sure I would even have been able to learn from my BigCo co-workers so successfully.

I got tired of corporate politics and a high traffic commute, so now I'm happily back in startup land.
> But since you've said it, I'll say that it is true only to the extent that government holds a monopoly over dispute resolution in matters of property.

In any social system in which “property” can be a meaningful context, there will be either an entity or an aggregate of entities which together exercise ultimate power in dispute resolution in the form of a monopoly on legitimate violence, and whatever entity or aggregate does so is called “government”, and “property” itself exists as an application by government of it's monopoly on violence to constrain behavior of individuals contrary to the property rights it defines.

Yes, slavery is imposed by government through force—but only in the exact sense that all property relations are.

> As it stands, indeed, any kind of ownership is dubious, considering that many are required to pay what amounts to rent (property tax), or lose their land.

Fee ownership (whether fee simple which is the dominant modern form or others that have fallen from favor like fee tail) has usually involved such payments. Allodial title has not, but allodial title has been typical of direct holding by the sovereign.

> At Google, this would never happen.

At a startup, a flawed but functional deployment today is better than a perfect deployment tomorrow. I've never heard of a startup that was successful because it got software right in it's early stages.
What do you mean by "the college"? Community colleges are already affordable. Other institutions only charge that much because of price inflation caused by reckless lending.

> Join the rest of the developed world.

Let me tell you about the situation in Germany with its "free" universities: First of all, there's a three-tier school system with the lowest tier barred from higher education altogether, the middle tier requiring further schooling to access second-rate colleges only and only the high tier allowing university access. Usually, children are separated into these tiers by their teachers, at the end of primary school. While it's technically possible get back on the higher track when they're 16 or so, it is rare. Parental income/education and race is a huge predictor on which bucket a child ends up.

So let's say you were a "good child" and are allowed to the universities, prepare for long waiting times (years) unless you have a near-perfect grade average, in case you want to study something "popular" like medicine, business administration or law. Don't expect to get a seat at one of those crowded auditoriums, prepare to sit on the stairs. Also prepare to be "weeded out" early, especially in the technical fields. Fail a test in a course three times and you will not only be thrown out of your degree program, you are permanently barred from getting any degree that has that course in it. Failed your law degree? Maybe try computer science then!

Okay, let's say you went through all those filters, you finally get a degree. If you're got one of those "popular" degrees, it turns out that job competition is actually quite tough, because far more people have a degree than what the job market actually can absorb. It's still better than in Spain, Italy, Greece etc, where degrees are handed out like candy but actual jobs are as rare as gemstones.

Bottom Line: "Free College" just produces over-education, because most people choose popular degrees beyond what the market actually needs. With ISAs, at least there's an incentive to only support those degrees that are actually in-demand.

Right now you might be planning stops according to where there’s a supercharger. But charging networks are expanding all the time.

This is especially in Europe, where in a Model 3, you also have the choice of using competing CCS charging networks like Ionity.
You most certainly can prevent it from paging home to BMW. Either thru the settings menu or hacking it via ODB2 port and coding it off with software like E-Sys.
Windows subsystem for linux is awesome. I have debian open in a terminal in windows, and can use it to launch apps with a GUI as well, that intermingle with my msft windows.
I wish there was a name for this kind of thing, because I see it a lot. Something is used a username in one context, then a password/authentication token in another.

(Ex: many libraries use your barcode number as your username)

I suspect the mistake stems from not understanding how passwords are stored.

(Eg: while yes, well set up systems hash passwords, usernames or any other identifier paired w the password are in cleartext, and in many cases huge swathes of the userbase can access them)
Already do, and it doesn't work.
Wait, I enjoy my job, want to write code and get lost in my work and you think that’s pissing in the pool?

I know some people at work that sort of have your mindset. I think it’s the worst. Not only do they not want to help someone who’s passionate you now make me suspect they’re incentivized to undermine hard workers as well, since they make you look bad.

Fine, take it easy at work, I don’t care. Just don’t make it harder for people who are trying to get work done.
I think you can love a job without taking it too far. It's true that someone who loves a job could be taken advantage of by an employer who feels like that gives them leverage. And it could lead to problems with work / life balance.

But, I don't think that means a middle road is impossible. One can love food without being overweight. You just have to practice moderation. Loving something doesn't mean there are no limits to how much of it you try to cram into your life.
I decided to increase the budget and get a $60-$70 Amcrest camera: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Amcrest/node/7648105011

Some of the Amcrest cameras, maybe all, also have an API.
