Really? What competition is there in the U.S. cellular market? MVNOs are beholden to whomever they buy from. T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon. That's 4 carriers total.

Definition of oligopoly: Oligopoly is a market structure with a small number of firms, none of which can keep the others from having significant influence.

I can literally buy a SIM card in Europe for my phone that gives me 5 times my monthly usage for less than what I pay for a single month.The market is absolutely harmed by the lack of competition and we did it to ourselves by selling off the public spectrum and paying for the privilege to do so. The Republican party is the most anti-American party that exists in the US and they used the willingness of the religious right to follow whatever lip service they get paid to the ballot box.

Democrats are pretty terrible too, but mostly because they are naive, unwilling to get their hands dirty, and try to play by rules that are only used by them. You don't win a war with flowery words and kind gestures. You win it by eliminating your enemy and taking away any ability by them to continue the fight.
Look at “Swanson’s Law” for insight into solar economics.

We’re at the order of magnitude where widespread deployment is inevitable. It took a lot of learning curve to get there, there’s barely another order of magnitude left to be had.

There are also the supporting infrastructure that needed to get there, such as battery/storage tech and smarter grids to handle the variable load.

Governments around the world have put hundreds of billions of dollars into solar R&D. Last year we had 500GW of solar and 600GW of wind, and added 100GW of solar. We should add more than 100GW of new generation to that this year. It’s pretty good progress!

I think global generation is about 15TW, and of course solar doesn’t generate 24/7, so there’s plenty of room to grow.

One thing the aliens are messing with us is that they only reveal technology to us that’s within a few decades of us developing it ourselves. They never show the real advanced stuff they have.

I meant I'd only flown first twice, both times with BA. I've flown business many times, across a few carriers (although mostly BA). Never have I had a "living room experience" though!

As long as it's one of their newer planes, I find BA's business to be "good enough"; the food is invariably shite, the service is usually shite, but the wines are decent and you can sleep, But you're correct it's not as good as others (e.g. Singapore Airlines).

The couple of times I flew first with BA, I have to say I was mightily dissapointed - no way was it worth twice the price of business... it was barely any better at all. Luckily they were free upgrades!

TBH, all of BA feels like it's stagnated for 1-2 decades, and is slowly becoming a budget airline - but without the budget prices.

You began this post with with a sentence fragment and a massive quote from the article everyone just read wherein no particular point required a reference.

You used "lol" in written communication which makes you sound like a 12 year old girl texting her friends.

You then continued in mid stream and concluded a sentence that you never began.

You said "make sure you understand what is a computer" which makes zero sense whatsoever and joined several sentence fragments with periods.

Perhaps before critiquing someone else's communications it would be optimal if you were to improve your own.

Your entire communiqe could have been written like do.

"The author does not appear to understand how the software he is using actually works, perhaps he ought to clarify his understanding before writing so unclearly about it."
That's another point for why universal basic income is needed. It reduces perverse incentives that make people unhealthier.

Where does it say an employee has to have fixed 8 hour day? It's a false dicotomy.
There are systems that encourage the opposite behavior, but they tend to be damaging in other ways. It all comes down to the metrics that you are responsible for as a manager.

I used to manage a grocery department at a well-regarded supermarket chain. In retail, one of the only inputs you can affect at the store level that impacts the bottom line is labor, so metrics are usually organized around labor optimization. Each week, you would be expected to exceed the previous year's Units Per Labor Hour (UPLH). This can only be accomplished two ways: increasing unit movement (which you really have no control over and is largely driven by consumer sentiment and population density) or cutting labor hours. In fact, even if volume is increasing, you can't even add hours even though labor needs scale with volume in a brick-and-mortar retail setting. To exacerbate things, the reductions in labor have already compounded yearly since the policy was put into place. They want you to squeeze water from a stone. "Well, So-and-So (who you've never met) was able to increase UPLH by 10% 5 years ago! Why can't you?"

I guess my point is that systems that discourage waste often lead to insane work environments rather than cleverness or innovation, whereas encouraging waste leads to bloat and inefficiency.
yeah I just grunt and snarl when I google and find a forum post from 2007. I wish there were an easy way to filter by date.

I have faith in your problem solving abilities. I'm 35 and have a CS degree. The only time I've needed to know Big-O or how sorting algos worked was in college and during interviews. I've literally never been in a situation where the code functionally worked, but ran too slowly because of an inefficient algorithm (and this is with 13 years as a C++ developer).

As for your situation, I suspect many shops would turn you down because you didn't rattle back the answer from memory. But the concern isn't that you aren't smart enough, it's that you're "old" and cost too much. The kid who memorized leetcode can be bought cheaply and discarded easily if it comes to light that he/she can't figure out how to solve a tech bug. If you "follow the money", these interviews could be seen as purely "cheap-but-comptetent people-filters". Because if an old programmer tried to sue them for age discrimination, they could point to leetcode as evidence that all the tests were administered "fairly".
That's because they're only one step ahead of us.

UFO sightings didn't drop because everyone started carrying cameras, it's because aliens developed cloaking technology.
Uber can only compete on price, they have nothing novel that can't be replicated. Hard to imagine how they could control the supply in a meaningful way.
I've lived this. Myself and a very expensive team of EY kids were waiting eagerly every day for anyone in corp management to throw us any kind of tasks.

On the rare occasion that we were given a task, we would all descend upon one computer like vultures, group-solving the problem typically in 60minutes or less. Then it was back to doing nothing.

Diplomacy (the game) became our primary activity. It was fun, but such a terrible waste of time, talent, and money.

How to build a Secret Messaging smart contract and app
Tangentially: I liked listening to the article, with the background soothing music, in the author's voice.
Thats great, you are gaining a TON of really valuable experience. It also means that you are worth a hell of out lot more to this company than 23k. If you were to quit and they had to hire somebody to fill this role, they would have a very hard time finding somebody to do all that at 23k, even at 35k it would be difficult. Junior developers are not really expected to be able to do everything that you're doing right now.

If I were I would start applying to jobs, and when they ask you what salary you would expect I would go for 35k, you could reasonably push it to 40k depending on how confident you are at negotiating.

Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions.
A ferry, then. The ferry in my city carries 2000 passengers when it's full (and it's always full in the rush hour, with one ferry leaving every 10 minutes). Assuming every passenger has a phone, and each phone has only 2GB of RAM, it's already around the 4TB mark.
Ha! I'd like to see them back that engine computer claim up. There is NO way a fair test would show any improvement outside the margin of error, and that's not a measurement problem.
NSO is fundamentally an unethical organisation.

Ignoring their deliberate targeting via “detectives” and their attempts to create an anti-Israel story, they willingly sell goods to countries that are known to violate human rights. We know this because the same customers have repeatedly been caught using their software to deliberately attack human rights workers.
i worked for lockheed martin 10 years ago (give or take) on a client site. I was W2 (although I wish i was 1099). Anyways, when the government changed from W -> Obama a lot of the DOD contracts were changing because everyone anticipated the Obama was going to cut defense spending (which he did). The project found out that the DOD was not going to be able to re-fund the project, but we had to continue to the end. I ended up forced to "work from home" for about six months until the contract ran out. I legally couldnt get another job, but I went on vacation for a month or two. So I calculate I got paid 1/2 my salary at the time + benefits for doing exactly nothing.
In the EU this is a violation of GDPR if true.
That's also why when companies start talking about "cost cutting" on the order of $millions, it almost always means layoffs. That's a big lever to push on earnings, for example.
The title should be changed to reflect that this was published in 2017.
Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if at the other side, some exec who budgeted $50k @ $1200/day for a new lead generating page is amazed it only took $21k and the contractor who did it was apparently diligent about coordinating with the design people himself and not wasting nearly as much management time as the agency that did the last one...
So...it didn't go wrong? Why should the ultimate goal of a forum be growth?

And, I don't think you can blame SA for 4chan, nor 4chan for trump. Both trump and 4chan meet a demand, and that demand would have been filled, one way or another.
I use the Feitian Multipass that I bought from Amazon before Titan Keys were available. I had connected to my Google account using my iphone.

This morning I received the "Update on your Titan Security Key" email from Google. I was able submit the $0 order for replacement using the Google replacement link.

So seems like Google can't tell different between the Feitian Multipass and their version.

Oh sure! That's why we didn't mark the OP as a dupe. These links are just for curiosity (as kencausey said). I'd like to find a way to communicate that when posting those, but none I've found is succinct enough. It gets old quickly to say "This is just for curiosity" every time.
I can only comment on inbound for UK passport holders on the way back into the country. There is no matching to a previous photo: you are scanning your passport and having a photo taken of your face simultaneously, whereupon the box fires up on the screen of a guy behind the desk.

As a CS major in school who is mostly self taught using the internet, I'd say Rust's big win is how it takes basic concepts from low to high level without bothering me or killing performance entirely.

Just the presence of well integrated Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) makes an incredible amount of difference. They are used to represent errors in a meaningful and easy to understand way (```Result<T>```), are used to show that a function may or may not return a meaningful value without needing a garbage value (```Option<T>```), and the optional case can even be used to wrap a null pointer scenario in a safe way (```Option<Ref<T>>``` being the closest to a literal translation I think).

That's just one small feature that permeates the language. Whatever the opposite of a death-of-a-thousand-cuts is, Rust has it.

It doesn't HAVE to be used for bare metal, but that's what it's best at, but it is bad for quick prototyping, that's for sure. So if you had a project that needed a project that needed quick turn around and rapid prototyping and someone wanted to use Rust because it's the "new hotness" or whatever, then absolutely not. It's the wrong tool for the job. The same as C, or C++ would be the wrong tool. Python is great for something like that.

Just like if you wanted heavy number crunching and data manipulation, I'd push someone towards R and Scala as they have the libraries to handle it (and, I'd also say Python, but I'm starting to show my biases here). Go is great for back end systems, as that's what it was designed for, and it's now getting libraries built out for it for other things to fill in gaps for other things, just as Rust is filling in other spaces, but there's only so far it can go from its original design doc. The GC makes it, inherently, not a systems language. That doesn't mean it isn't great at other things. Rust is great as a systems language, that doesn't mean it isn't great at other things, but it's terrible as a rapid prototyping language. It lacks that capability. It wasn't designed for that =/

It's a weird fetishization, isn't it? I think that's a really good point. Dovetails with political movements that idealize(d) the working man/class, as if poor people couldn't be as flawed and human as the rest of us.

It's pretty bold to be talking about cities and mental health when about five minutes in a small town will vividly show you the backstabbing, gossipy, popularity contest bullshit that comes with "closely knit communities" of all types. Like someone said, it's all a big trade-off. Human beings can go thoroughly nuts anywhere they lay their heads.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a thing, though mostly in colder climates where there's a need for heating in the winter.

In principle you could do the same with nuclear, but there's challenges in siting a reactor close enough to a big city, and also current reactors tend to be too big. SMR's might help, and there's active research in this area.

Qpid Dispatch Router/AMQP 1.0 are both very interesting technology. I actually work for Red Hat, and do use Qpid Dispatch a fair bit.

Straight Qpid Dispatch (without waypoint messages to a broker) is basically providing something similar to HTTP, as far as end-to-end acknowledgements and "synchronous" processing (as in both the client and server must be up and stay up for the lifetime of the request). No surprise, this makes it way faster than a traditional broker, while still offering similar delivery guarantees.
$15k per day billable for legal work sounds exactly like biglaw, and you don't cold interview for that.

The NSO WhatsApp Vulnerability – This Is How It Happened
Would it were so easy! It's more like this. You get dozens of bug reports a day. Some report that XYZ are bugs while others report that no, those are features and you'd better add more, but ABC are bugs and you'd better fix those. If you change ABC or XYZ, there is scandal and outrage! Many new reports are filed.

The bug reports come with cartoons showing you secretly engineering the bugs owing to your thoughts and feelings against the bug reporters. Opposing reports have similar cartoons, with heroes and villains rotated, but there you are too, secretly engineering bugs. The cartoons don't match anything you remember thinking or feeling, but the bug reporters know better, publish daily, and accost passers-by with tales of how callously you oppress them for their bug-reporting service. The bug reporters tell similar stories about each other, too, and file bug reports about each other when they're not filing them about you. What should we do now? :)
An “invalid state” can mean a lot of things - including business rules that can’t be expressed by simple relational, constraints rules.

But what happens when you need to change something about the database. Isn’t it a lot easier to have all of the code in one place?

So the usual retort is to put all of the business rules in stores procedures.

Then you have an unholy mess of a database with triggers and stored procedures that are harder to modify, harder to unit test, harder to version and just an unmaintainable mess.

I’ve never heard a single developer say that they love maintaining a system with 100s of large stores procedures, triggers, etc.
