In Mexico rural indigenous peasants were treated as subhuman garbage.

White landowners pretty much did what they liked: murder, rape, theft, kidnapping, forced labor, mass-murder, destruction of whole villages, forced relocation, ...

Within living memory, indigenous people would have their property stolen or destroyed by Spanish-speaking thugs with no legal recourse, would be forced into labor, would be murdered or raped on a whim by wealthy landowners. Until recently, indigenous people were not allowed in some Mexican cities after dark and had essentially no political representation. Etc.

* * *

By contrast, in the USA we just killed all of the indigenous people and took their land.

The difference is that in Mexico & Central America the whole economic system was based on a colonial overseer class who used indigenous labor to produce goods for export, whereas in the USA the economic system was originally based on European immigrant settlers farming their own plots of land (or in the US South, based on plantations worked by African slaves), and indigenous people were economically extraneous.

I was actually saying the opposite: the candidate was telling me that they'd looked up the folks on their interview panel, including me.
Amazon prime quality is definitely better than Hulu. But yeah the dark scenes look pretty horrible.

I found a strange problem with my 4K dimming tv if using captions. The caption text is bright white and the tv messes up dark scenes pretty badly.

Hopefully these and other video encoder/decoder issues will get fixed soon.
I get that, but the context from the article is that of an interviewee looking up the interviewer and commenting that the interviewer was a "ghost" online. To me, that's somewhat bizarre. What bearing does your interviewer's hobbies have on your perception of whether the company and the role would be a good fit for you?
Reading those homebrew comment threads convinced me to switch to MacPorts. I don’t care if you’re a volunteer, that’s not how you treat users.
Don't see how you could be a ghost online with a name like Mark Christian. There would be a ton of Mark Christian's all vying for attention.
Completely agree with the article. I think it's very unfortunate that so many think a LinkedIn or StackOverflow profile is a viable replacement for a custom-made website that can portray you in any light you so choose.

I've been told several times that I was Googled prior to interviews/meetings and have heard great things about my website, my online presence, my books (I have an "author" card when people Google me), etc. Whatever you do to make you stand out is a boon.
I just wish finance would take off again so all the mercenaries looking for a quick buck but with no personal affinity for technology would have somewhere else to go.
One of the benefits not mentioned in the article: it serves as a good personal record of accomplishments or thoughts (similar to a diary). How often does the new year come around and you think to yourself, "where did the year go?"
I don't mean to insult a PHD, but this piece reads like a middle school persuasion piece. It's pure 'why my city is great', with little objective evidence.
Can you show me the definitive proof that Starlink (along with its competitors, who will plausibly also launch a vast number of satellites) can't support eg 20 million customers in the US over time? I'd be very interested in that demonstration of the limits on the market.

Also can you support the premise that their customers would be concentrated in major metros, when the biggest beneficiaries will be outside of metros where broadband options are drastically worse (which is why the primary market for HughesNet the past two decades has not been concentrated in major metros).

Access providers in metros can soundly compete with Starlink. They'll lower prices, increase speeds, improve bundles, etc. Their infrastructure and customers are already in place there, they won't just ignore Starlink, they'll compete. That heavily limits the upside potential for the Starlink concept in metros. It's everwhere else, mostly lacking any real broadband, that Starlink & Co will face minimal competition and will particularly lure customers. It's why HughesNet still has over a million customers today.

I've seen a lot of people claim - with very little supporting evidence thus far - that the market is extremely limited due to capacity restraint.

While you're proving out your claim, if you don't mind given that you've got a strong handle on the market ceiling, please provide what you believe to be the maximum subscriber potential for Starlink - and the approach in general - in the US over time.

Typically when you buy a large fraction of a cow, the butcher will process it into a bunch of different cuts, I.e. ribeye, flank, chuck, tenderloin, etc. the cuts are usually single-serving, except if you want to keep the tenderloin whole or something. You also get a bunch of hamburger patties or ground beef. Point is, you get all the meat pre-cut before your freeze, so you can use only what you need at any given time.
When is this sentiment justified and when is it just gatekeeping?
It’s “aughts”, which is a term for zero, but rarely used outside certain contexts. I prefer it, but it’s not surprising it didn’t catch on.

Otherwise I greatly prefer “the early 2000s”. It’s not very precise, but it’s more precise than “the 2000’s” which can include the year 2999.

I doubt it is people moving out that is causing the slight dip - https://julianalee.com/sunnyvale/sunnyvale-statistics.htm - the move corresponds to increased mortgage rates via the Fed hikes last year.

I also doubt this minor pullback to 2017 levels will last in 2019. It will be interesting to watch if mortgage rates or tech IPOs (2019) have a bigger influence.
What's good about this is that it might allow a targeted solution (don't compose long texts or watch movies will driving) instead of taking away responsible people's ability to add a gas station stop to their trip, glance at some song lyrics in broad daylight with no traffic, or dictate voice notes while driving. The sense of responsibility that makes me slow down in bad conditions and leave a good following gap is plenty well tuned to make me a safe driver. The rules are needed by an entirely different class of people with less ability to imagine consequences and estimate risk.

Maybe I do need the rules to protect myself from those people, but I wish people wouldn't get into this moral panic as though touching a cell phone is the equivalent of blacking out your windshield.
I don't blame MacOS- there was no expectation that an OS for 16-bit CPUs with no VM, no protected memory, and only cooperative multitasking would have proper multiuser support. With that kind of hardware, what's the point? Good thing macOS inherited all that stuff from BSD and Mach.
I don't disagree. This is why I personally avoid places that aren't 100% vegan or don't have serious published food handling guidelines. Someone's laziness could kill someone.

Ya, definitely not your traditional style of living but it works for us. We really take advantage of the SF weather and public areas to "extend" our living space outside for most of the year.

We're a young family (1.5 Y/o) so probably won't last too long, although I do like the idea of seeing how creative we can get with the space especially if we have another kid.
So you are saying reporters don't have any say in what images appear as part of their reports?

I'm not saying "any" say, but in my experience working for two major newspaper companies, it's not a given. There are other people who decide that. Again, it's not a blog.

Some of the most interesting things online are people writing about things they are passionate about, for the sake of writing about them. At least in my opinion, so it’s fair to say that I agree with the author.

I think it’s an equally delightful experience to journal about things though. I do it from time to time, when some subject just needs to get written down, almost as though the journaling is me thinking out loud on something. I could certainly do this in an old fashioned journal, or keep things to myself, but in my experience, I’ve learned a lot about something by having to write about it in a way that anyone could read. Which includes explaining things that are obvious to me, but not to you.

I know it’s not for everyone, and I respect that, but if you do think out loud, then do us all a favour and share the things that are most important to you. I think it’ll help keep the internet much more interesting in the age of social media.

If we can find it anyway, with google down-prioritising personal blogs.

Disease was pretty indiscriminate and wiped out the vast majority of the population throughout the Americas. Before European arrival there were a massive number of people living throughout Central America, the Amazon rainforest, etc. Populations didn’t recover until several centuries later (and in some places, still haven’t).

The big difference between the USA and regions further south is that in the USA white settlers just mass-slaughtered most of those who remained post-disease so they could steal their land, whereas further south they were instead pressed into forced labor in service of a relatively small group of white colonial overseers.

It’s kind of like the difference between bison and cows. The former are economically extraneous so mostly got wiped out, whereas the latter are economically important domesticated slaves and therefore survive. (If this metaphor seems racist, note that throughout the Americas the ideology of ruling whites held that indigenous people were subhuman and undeserving of basic rights.)

I work on a regular basis with people at ISPs who operate the terrestrial dark fiber and DWDM networks into many of the WA, OR and CA cable landing stations, and none of them have ever been required to get special permission from the feds. Most have gone through ordinary background checks through their employers, for basic stuff (way, way less involved than doing an SF-86 for a Secret clearance, basically just credit checks, criminal record check, and calling this previous references on their CV when they're hired).

Some people like to be ghosts online but I really do like to post and write about my experiences whenever I can and it is nice to look back and see what I was doing a couple of months or years ago.

Personally, a website I can just do whatever on is great and I don't have to be worried about a platform's limitations, requirements, or nuances.

Most people prefer simplicity of networks like Twitter, facebook, etc but I really like having my own blog where one blog post is 50 words and another is 1500 words and many other things at the same time. And my individual pages can be anything from experiments to documentation.
It always annoys me when people describe Elixir as “friendlier” than Erlang because it’s familiar, or assert that familiar is an unalloyed positive.

'996' isn't isolated to China. I first experienced this in the late 90's when startup dotcoms were battling things out with each other. In most cases, we first pushed ourselves to those levels of enterprise because we wanted to release new functionality, ahead of the competition. After we started burning out, that's when management started herding us in this direction because they don't get that work is not done when you're asked to join pointless meetings.

I don't think it's fair to judge a candidate based on their online presence. Some people are very private, or for whatever reasons prefer not to have an online presence.

Furthermore, if you judge every candidate by the number of linkedin posts and stackoverflow answers or whatever superficial metric than you will miss out on a lot of talented people.

I'm not the type who has an urge to express my opinion or feelings on anything. I've been on Youtube for years and never posted even one comment. Although I always like videos, if I liked them of course.
You have a great website marred only by the crappy ads in the comments there
North America got a lot more colonists than Mexico and also got them a lot sooner after the first significant contact was made. Mexico City was conquered in 1521 and New Spain received 1-1.5 million colonists (including slaves) before independence in 1810. In North America the first colony was Roanoke in 1584 (only including English colonies and this failed one for simplicity) and had 2.4 million settlers by 1788. So in Mexico the population had more time to bounce back and less of a European influx to contend with.

South America also had a lot less colonists (Portugal only had 2 million people and tried to restrict emigration) they also received a lot more slaves (North America got <10% of the slave trade) which mixed with with the native population.

You need to rebuild QtByteRunner.
Cd to platforms/qt/. There is a readme there for full explanation, but in short:

- clone asmjit (https://github.com/area9innovation/asmjit.git)
into platforms/common/cpp folder first (eventually we'll move to upstream asmjit, we use our copy of this lib yet);

- make sure you have Qt 5.12.0 (or upper) available in your system;

- review paths in QtByteRunner.pro, they're usually fit our needs, but in some cases may require changes;

- run build.sh, it'll produce binary for your system.

Then you'll be able to run flowcpp tool.
So what? The entire purpose of Starlink is to increase global demand for launch capacity. That's the only way they're going to reach the economy of scale to be able to actually reduce launch costs as much as they're capable of. They can break even or even take a loss on Starlink and still achieve a valuable strategic goal.

Pinterest was the first company to IPO after the debacle that was the Lyft IPO. At the time they were unsure if the problem was that investors were sour on IPOs in general or if they were just sour on Lyft, that's why they discounted their valuation.
Might call it just a "China's version" but I'd rather that its a global thing than anything.

When you look for any decent startup talks, you have people like Elon Musk and Jack ma (of course) claiming to work "every waking hour" and that they used to do it.

Also, being from India, I have had interviews with Startups like:

Them: technical questions

....

Them: do you have any questions

Me: What about the leaves and weekly working hours?

Them: What do you mean?

Me: Is it a 5 day working or 6?

Them: Okay, we already don't like you. (For real, their words).

Me: Ummm.. Thanks?
Oh, I wasn't looking them up--the candidate told me that they looked me up.
I would consider being an online ghost as a great compliment with how everything has been lately. There is way too much public information being pumped out for no reason at all.
It seems like another good follow-up question might be: how do we know zendrive's characterization of phone-use-while-driving is accurate and represents danger?

E.g., how does the thing know if you're driving or simply a passenger (especially on mass transit, like a bus)? And even if you are the driver, checking your phone at a light is probably not especially unsafe (though it could be rude or illegal). Finally, audio output app use like Maps or Spotify that doesn't require input is probably acceptable. So without knowing more about the methodology, the conclusions of the article don't logically follow.
I've seen "aughts" used and understood that fine. When I read this, I thought it referred to the entire century.
I have a permanent desk in a WeWork and although there is reasonably high turnover (I’d guess the average desk tenancy is about 4 months although at least a dozen in my space have been there for 18 months or more) I have made a few friends who are still around and there’s quite a few friendships in the office amongst unconnected people. I think it’s definitely more challenging than a co-worker relationship because there’s less common ground and less forced communication but it’s definitely possible to have genuine friendships. I’ve been at the same desk since 2017 so I can’t compare my experience across multiple co-working spaces but I had a friend in my office who moved to a different WeWork and he said that the culture varies significantly building to building, so it could be that you’d find success in building friendships in a different building.
This is literally using the data adversely to the "badly behaved" customers.

As much as I love occasionally getting stuff done in a cafe, I find using laptops without an external monitor and keyboard at the right heights gives me posture-related problems if I do it for more than a couple of hours at a time.

If I were running my own company and employing remote staff I'd have to think about the workplace health and safety implications if they were regularly working in cafes.

From [1] : Boeing CEO says 737 Max was designed properly and pilots did not 'completely' follow procedure

So he still can't resist smearing the pilots, despite the facts coming to light until now.

In my book Boeing changed into the epitome of an evil company, putting profits vastly before safety of their (end) customers. I would be very, very reluctant to set foot into this murder machine. Despite the additional software kludges they try to apply.

> It gives a bandwidth efficiency ratio, which is directly tied to cost since the more efficient per bit the system is, the cheaper it is to run.

The source you linked said Telesat had a 4x Gbps/satellite bandwidth over spacex which is not directly tied to cost. Telesat has no mention of satellite weight and spacex plans to launch 40x the amount of satellites as Telesat for their initial constellation and 100x at full capacity if I recall correctly.

> Path to profit.

Spacex has reusable first stage rockets. I don't see how any of the other mass satellite constellation companies that you mentioned can have better margins than spacex.

> They need upwards of 500 of these in the air just to compete with satellites that have been up for multiple years already.

Do those 5 companies you just mentioned somehow don't?

It entirely depends on the co-working venue, and more importantly - location.

I live in Bali, Indonesia which is a very popular place for those who work online. There are multiple co-working spots that have an amazing setup, host member lunches, encourage people to skillshare with events, etc. - it's almost a cult over here and very common for people to hang out after. If I go to a party and find out the host is a member of XYZ co-working joint, often a large chunk of the guests are also from there.
