Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they're being paid off by people you don't like.

That's an egregious and unreasonable assumption of bad faith.

I'm not convinced. The NFL has all of these, and it's still huge. The one important thing e-sports lacks is tradition and culture. "Everyone" watches the superbowl. "My family grew up watching football/playing in high school"

This is all stuff that took 100 years to organically come together, though maybe it really only got big the past 40ish, I'm not sure.
I'm curious if this was done with filtered drip coffee vs espresso. I'm a bit ignorant on this subject but I've read some arguments that drip coffee is filtered & therefore may be better for your heart as it filters out certain elements.

I don't have a reference on this, purely looking to learn more about the differences.

I moved to Norway a little over a year ago, and was 41 at the time. It was pretty straightforward for me, as my employer has an office here in Oslo, so it was just an internal transfer, and they took care of all the paperwork. I'm not all that familiar with the Norwegian immigration restrictions, either generally or for Indian nationals, but it definitely happens. We hire immigrants fairly often, although mostly from EU / EEC countries (Norway is not in the EU, but it participates in many of the economic agreements, so things are probably smoother for EU residents / citizens).

I'm definitely slower at learning the language than I was the last time that I moved abroad, 25 years ago. On the other hand, Norwegians are generally pretty fluent in English, and our office defaults to English, as we are perhaps 10-15% non-Norwegian. But on the other hand, I probably would be learning faster if that were not the case...

Regarding employment within the US: if you have an H-1B visa, bear in mind that it's fairly straightforward to change to a different job with one. I've done a transfer for a new hire at a startup once, and know others who have done so a number of times.

>Now everyone knows that IEEE has to comply with US gov's demands, which can be made without any court ruling or due process.

What do you mean "now"? IEEE has a history of this:

>One of the world’s largest scientific societies has barred researchers in certain countries from publishing in its journals and receiving member benefits. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers says it has taken these steps against scientists in Iran and four other so-called rogue nations subject to U.S. trade sanctions to ensure that IEEE staff stay on the right side of U.S. law.

>But other scientific organizations do not discriminate against scientists from these countries, leaving some observers to accuse IEEE of playing the rogue.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/9087784_IEEE_Under_...

Also:

In February 2004, during the final year of Khatami's presidency, the U.S. Department of the Treasury ruled against editing or publishing scientific manuscripts from Iran, and stated that U.S. scientists collaborating with Iranians could be prosecuted. In response, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) temporarily stopped editing manuscripts from Iranian researchers and took steps to clarify the OFAC guidelines concerning its publishing and editing activities. In April 2004 IEEE received a response from OFAC which fully resolved that no licenses were needed for publishing works from Iran and that the entire IEEE publication process including peer review and editing was exempt from restrictions. On the other hand, the American Institute of Physics (AIP), the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which publishes Science, refused to comply, saying that the prohibition on publishing goes against freedom of speech.

A lot of Indians have opted to move to Canada. I'm an Indian (in India) in my late 30s and know half a dozen people who have migrated to Canada. Citizenship is relatively easy to get as well.
What information?
Keep-alive is a win in most situations, but especially so in any kind of benchmarking, since it's very easy to hit bottlenecks in opening/accepting new connections, e.g. running out of ports. If you are opening and closing thousands of connections, port space / TCP tuning can become the limiting factor, regardless of your server architecture.

>Huge difference. Attending talks in person is akin to reading paperback, while watching a video is akin to a Kindle. It can be difficult to block out time on your computer and give undivided attention to a video.

Given that I actively prefer reading on a screen, I'm genuinely not sure if this is an apt comparison. My e-books have infinitely large margins for annotation, instant excerpting and customisable formatting. YouTube videos can be paused while I Google something, rewound if I've missed something and played on fast-forward if the speaker is needlessly slow.
Yeah, technically all Christian churches do not allow non-Christians to take communion, though it's on the honor system. However, I don't think an agnostic or atheist would miss a cracker and shot of juice.

I guess maybe wedding might be a niche concern. Some churches only marry believers or even members, but I bet most would consider it anyway. Only some sort of premarital class or counseling is typically required.

I'd say quite the opposite.

Lots of good tech workers coming from India, and if you already landed an US job, I'd say your chances of landing it anywhere else are pretty good.

The article recommends RF for tabular data because it is easier. In general I agree, but newer tools are making NN for tabular data as easy as can be... see, for example, fastai https://docs.fast.ai/tabular.html
Libraries are also great options. Downtown branches are usually sprawling and not so busy during the week.
OK, noted. Thanks for sharing.
While I'm very much on-side with you on this one, I suppose their argument would be that it would be a voluntary association.
The problem with the software you developed is that they have to give up control. Every change is a change request which needs to be approved and implemented and tested and released.

The upside is higher quality, the downside is way reduced turnaround speed if they need to change something.

I understand why people using Excel are often reluctant to give it up.
Don't you think the opposition between 'reason' and 'emotion' is itself of ideological character not driven by much sense? Isn't group identity important in forming solidarity in a system under which collective action on many important issues (labour, ecology, etc.) is frustrated? Not everyone subscribes to Kantian/Socratic rationalism.
As usable data starts getting larger, the trade off between Excel and databases will get smaller.
I refuse to agree with anyone that thinks its ethical to steal from someone just because they disagree with their beliefs.

That is incredibly dangerous and beyond hypocritical for anyone claiming they are on the "right" side of history.

However assuming they are single use, they are also stealing from Customers who may to may not agree with Chick-fil-a, and likely not actually causing any harm on them (except for customers that cause enough of a stink to still get their free sandwich).

BTW I am saying this as someone that is actually part of the LGBT community.

I hate seeing activity like this because I see it as just further angering the far-right instead of actually focusing on trying to do good.
hmm if your chargeback rate is 1% or less, this costs more then a 15 dollar chargeback anyways. at 100 AOV at 1% cback that's 40 dollars to cover what would have been 15 dollar chargeback. also if your description photos and tracking are on point there should be no chargeback you can't win, unless your processes are off.

Big agreement on the just refund vs chargeback and effect possible merchant rate increase or suspension. Would rather cut into profits a bit then have headaches of upset merchant.
Does the author mixes up "spreadsheet" with "database" or "data entry" or even "line-of-business app" in general? There's more than spreadsheet in many of SaaS examples.
In my first job out of Uni I wrote some VBA to make requests to the "online diary" to pull out some of the information into some template Excel files we had to create.

Waive | Los Angeles LA Hollywood | Fullstack PHP Python Product Automotive Mechanical Electrical Engineer | Onsite - Full-Time | DoE

We're a (mostly) electric urban mobility company founded in 2015, a bit before the current wave of them being everywhere.

I'm running a team of 3 engineers and am looking for a few more at our family-sized company which may be doing some scaling soon. We have tens of thousands of customers, millions in assets, it's a real thing.

There's a few innovative products in here somewhere and I'm being a bit guarded because there's more than one company with tens of millions in funding who had us multiple times in their pitch deck (one just closed another $30 million last week, splendid).

Anyway, we were on Shark Tank in 2016 and have done a couple iterations of the product since then. We just did a major pivot on May 1st.

Here's our plan for the next year or so, listed in order (highest first):

* A new ad platform for our screens (a version we're going to throw away is at waivescreen.com)
* An on-demand gig economy car (see maven, envoy, hyrecar, and getaround for imho, poorly executed examples). This includes
* backoffice work (currently in node but new stuff can be in whatever)
* a new app or some other kind of smartphone presence (stability and Donald-Norman style UX as opposed to art-school UX is all I care about)
* New innovative ad tech (see firefly, grabbit, blip, adomni, etc)
* Open-architecture, open platform telematics that don't suck (see invers & vulog)

This may sound a bit ambitious but really a lamp developer who has read a couple marketing books would be just fine.

So just email me already at chris@waive.car ... you've already made it this far.

Please include a sample of your work.

Have any other tips on how to fight the decay in reputation while working remote?

I would consider the largest risk with remote work to be "out of sight, out of mind" for consideration of promotions or even job referrals by colleagues.

I very much have the personality for remote work and largely like to figure out things on my own but the drawbacks feel significant enough to keep me in the office for now...
But he sure did try. I was also a Canadian living LA, but am back in Canada now. Definitely miss it.

Dark mode is not only about reading text, it is also about (the interface around) viewing images or videos. I'll take a performance hit in reading some numbers on my banking app if it means not being flushed with white light in between watching images or videos. I haven't tried (extreme and perfect) adaptive brightness, this may be a solution too. But it should work pretty close to perfect in a very dimly let room if it is to prevent squeezing eyes when suddenly being hit by a completely white interface while keeping things legible.
I've spent a few hours looking into myopia. You're correct that it's been increasing and is still increasing, it's increased so quickly genetics can't explain it, and the sunlight hypothesis is new to me.

Some areas in Asia have >80% myopia rates.

(As an ally myself, I also think it's worth pointing out that Gen-Z having a 7% LGBTQ rate theoretically could also have an environmental cause. There is evidence of a biological basis for transexualism.)

Repod | Mobile Engineer (React Native + iOS + Android) | Full-Time | Remote | San Diego

At Repod, our goal is to empower people to discover, listen, and share great podcasts. Podcasts are unique in that they inspire us, help us learn something new, or captivate us with the way stories are told. Yet, all of these experiences are rarely shared with one another. By connecting people with an easy way to share and discuss podcasts, Repod helps people find and listen to great podcasts.

Currently, we are a two person team (2 cofounders) and are looking for our 1st full-time team member by way of mobile engineer. We are in the midst of a public beta and will be launching in the near future.

As the lead mobile engineer at Repod, you'll initially be working in our main repo developing and launching new features. Repod is built using React Native and relies heavily on a native audio player built in Swift/Java. As we expand our product, you’ll help inform the technologies used in our future growth. The team is small, which means your impact on the company’s success will be instrumental.

We have one requirement — must love podcasts.

I’m not understanding why it’s a genocide. It’s not one entity performing these killings and it’s not organized; lots of indigenous women are just in shitty situations, that doesn’t make it a genocide. We’re talking about ~100 deaths a year here, that’s the equivalent of gang violence in some run down American cities and we don’t call that a genocide.
