Thanks so much Steve for the reference.
A couple questions came to mind:

1) "ranges from $2k-10k+" -- What is the smallest company size for which you anticipate delivering a positive ROI on those fees vs. the time spent handling purchasing on their own?

2) Do you handle purchasing of non-SaaS software?

It took a long time for aircraft pilots to discover that height is actually good with airplanes. After a few seconds, you are at terminal velocity. This ends up being only a few hundred meters. After that, you have a few thousand meters before the air gets too thin to breathe. So, the higher up you went, the more time you would have to react to issues that arise.

Largely, you can measure the height of the airplane in mistakes.

It takes time to fix a mistake. You have to first realise you are in a mistake, then you have to take in information, then you have to decide what to do, then you have to do it (the OODA loop). Since you reach terminal velocity rather quickly, it's all about the time you have left before you reach the ground and die.

So in airplanes, the higher you are, paradoxically, the safer you are.
This is so absurdly disingenuous from Google.

The (very good) idea is that Google Search should be competing fairly with the other search engines.

It's not fair to make these other search engines, already the victims of anti-competitive behaviour, pay millions of dollars (or whatever) into Google's bank account to be listed, while Google pays nothing.

It's like if Ford owned the roads and GM had to pay Ford for each car they sold.
As far as I can tell the only benefit they provide over other smaller coworking spaces (most of which are a lot better) is that there are a lot of them. You can get a mebership at a WeWork in Austin, then pop into the one in Tokyo to get some work done while you're visiting. That being said, that's probably not worth the expense, terrible technology, or loudness of weworks for most people.

“I suspect that the culture of keeping our salaries secret was deliberately created by the 1% to keep wages low.”

I often exchange salaries with people and one thing I have noticed that the people who were against transparency because they thought they had negotiated well often turned out to be at the lower range. Usually after exchanging salaries it turned out that a lot of people had been blatantly lied at by management. It’s much easier to negotiate if you really know what the common numbers are.
...and the rest is evidence that it's not speculation. The poster SAID they understood trademark law, and specifically asked only about the symbols, so posting "why that's [notice] important" was redundant and off-topic.

It seems like they were fairly explicit about it, so I'm not sure if the outrage is justified. komali2 even noted explicitly, "There doesn't appear to be AI involved. A very good business model, but no AI."

> Many rely on that, in fact, since otherwise they'd be asking people to come up with a publishable (once published, perhaps) finding, under pressure, on the spot, in maybe an hour.

In much of science the hard part is asking the right question rather than coming up with the solution, so figuring out these algorithms is not equivalent to making publishable research.

What really chaps my hide is that failing CEO's still get large benefits of one form or another. If a regular Joe fails, they usually get the boot and little else.

If money is incentive to make people more productive, why pay them to fail? Is meritocracy only for the poor?

Some co's wised up to this and pay mostly in company stock. But CEO's then initiate buy-back programs to jack up the stock price.
This is sometimes called the Lake Wobegon effect. The idea is that the pay of a CEO compared to their peers is a signal of the quality of a CEO, so everyone wants to pay their CEO above average, creating a vicious cycle of upward CEO salaries.

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=966332

I'm not sure how true it is, but the game theory makes sense to me. The alternative, that CEOs are correctly priced by the market but that correct price has grown by 10x in half a century, actually seems less believable to me.
Having to claim it is true. Don't quite think that actually putting the symbol next to it does anything. But, for example, Velcro had this huge campain and spent a lot of money trying to curtail the use of the word "velcro" because they were afraid they'd lose their trademark.
Security cameras also don't always look like security cameras...but most (especially Nest devices) do. However, if I was trying to find out some kind of nefarious activity within my home, I wouldn't put up an obvious security camera, unless it was to redirect the potential perp toward somewhere that has the actual camera - hidden as a book, or something similar - ideally, it fits right in with its environment, and doesn't look at all out of placce...
Now all they need is a smartphone app to guide you through the reset process! Bwahahahahaha!!
I would actually be OK, with the CEO/worker pay discrepancy if the CEO was held criminally responsible for company wide illegal behavior.

I would like a rule that the CEO is criminally responsible for any company-wide illegal behavior. Even if they claim that they did not know, at their pay scale, it was their responsibility to know and thus they are criminally negligent. Under this rule, the WellsFargo CEO would be a convicted felon and had a prison sentence.

This rule would do wonders to clean up illegal activity. Right now, it is in the CEO's interest to put incentives in place that can only be achieved via illegal behavior and then turn a blind eye to the behavior as long as the stock price goes up. This would change that and force them to actively try to keep illegal behavior from happening, since they now face prison time if it occurs.
Rust platform size has recently increased by 50%:

which puts it at over double the size of Go. Worse is seems to be no impetus to fix this. Also notable is Rust still doesnt have a Map literal:

Hope he's writing off the mileage for all that "driving around." At $.25 per mile he should probably just drive around more! Imagine driving around all day and all night, non-stop driving and writing off all that mileage. He could hire a bunch more people to drive around for him and he'd be a multi-millionaire in no time.
It seems like their isn't much benefit to brand loyalty here - I would imagine it is easy to simply do a google search for a short term work place in a new city if you need a change of scenery from the coffee shop!
I don't know. I just suppose that it's not that simple. It is never a good idea to assume something is safe for good. The TTL of the packet could also be used maybe?

Also, there are also many people that are not behind a NAT. I've always had a public IP address at home, for example. Plus NAT may become less used because insert rant about NAT and IPv6.

What I'm most hoping she tries to do is break Android out of Google. Google owning the app store and forcing their products onto peoples phones with magical root powers that other apps don't have is one of the bigger problems I have with Android and its ecosystem. But we'll see; fingers crossed that the political will exists to actually do something and that she can leverage it.

VCs get management fees typically 2% of fund size. VC incentives are misaligned with LPs. Very similar to hedge funds. As long as they keep raising the money keeps flowing and they can delay showing a return. Whether the fund fails is irrelevant. There’s an endless supply of rich LPs like there’s an endless supply of kids with a “startup”.
>Stock options make up a big part of CEO pay packages, and the conservative measure values the options when granted, versus when cashed in, or “realized.”

The "conservative" measure is the only correct way to measure here. Using realized gains makes no sense because that's not the value the company paid out. That's like saying you invested your salary and the gains are part of your compensation package.
Yeah that is where it always starts. Think of the children. Childporn. Terrorism. Until it becomes "hate speech" and whatever else the masters dictate.

I CEO of a large public company who fails is likely to end up with a ruined career. Exit packages compensate for that risk.
Also morbidly fascinating is why real estate companies are so much more into compartmentalizing themselves into all these LLCs/LPs/corps. Most of the time they seem to do it to maximize the tax advantages and entitlements (and contain losses) in specific locales. In California, most commercial buildings are held by a trust designed to never transfer majority control, to preserve Prop 13 property tax breaks.
I could be wrong here but my understanding is that the letter forms of a font are not subject to copyright, only the font file itself. This is why Microsoft was able to create Arial which is a virtual clone of Helvetica without it being a derivative work.

Agreed. There are a lot of great studies out there that show why great-performing CEOs really are worth the money-- GREAT! But then the flip side of it is, in order to attract those great CEOs, you need a comp package that looks generous enough, which includes de-risking their decision to join your company.

I wish there was a good enforcement mechanism to tie their pay to performance -- for good AND bad.
Not just CEOs. We had a terrible Superintendent of Schools in a nearby district and to fire her the contract required they pay her $500,000. So utter incompetence is actually rewarded handsomely.
I refuse to believe this wasn't just a way to add drama/tension. You can't work in IT and actually believe this.

It depends on when he closes the shorts. If he holds them I am fine but it’s also conceivable to buy shorts, publish bad news, see the stock drop and immediately close them.

People don’t exercise power in this scenario.
Visions of the Singularity in the near term failed to account for two things: 1) obtaining regulatory approval for innovations in various spheres (medicine, aviation) takes forever, 2) innovations that rely on the consumer market are slowed by people wanting to use their present purchases for some amount of time before shelling out again for the next generation of tech.

An exponentially faster development of technology is limited by how fast the workings of government agencies and consumers' minds operate.

I rolled my eyes when I read Kurzweil's predictions of medical advances in his early-millennium books. Even if we invent nanobots or whatever so quickly, the FDA and its counterparts are not going to allow applying those technologies the very moment they are invented.
The short answer to that question is yes. A good CEO will invest $200 million in a good asset (i.e. factory), resulting in a great return for the organisation. A bad CEO will invest $200 million in a bad asset (i.e. Tumblr, $1.1bn -> $3m) and lose their shirt.

Say the decision of the good CEO makes the company $100m. How much is he worth? A lot.
> Centralization of the entire internet behind a single entity is a _bad_ thing

They do the opposite. They enable small website owners to survive on the internet without having to use vertically integrated services like cloud offerings.
VC don't care. It's expected that some investment will fail one way or the other. VC's investment approach is to invest in 10 startups and hoping one will hit it big.
At my company, we used to pay 7 figures to splunk, until we realized how much data do we actually need. We cut down a lot of unnecessary logging and sent only the things that were needed.

Most of the data that was needed by business folks was sent to segment in terms of events and for genuine errors were sent to sentry with stack traces and converted most of the logs to metrics.

This helped us cut down a lot of $$ for logging and monitoring. Elastic search is a great alternative, but it takes an entire team to maintain it. I'm not sure, if its worth the time and effort.
There's a selection bias there. Few people will write, and even fewer would read, a blog post about showing up and doing well on an interview (and most companies generally don't want you posting direct answers to the process). It is true that many positions are trying to find people with more ability than is required for the position, but are you arguing that the interview process should select most people?

Further more, there's a breakdown between pure trivia (problems that either just require knowing raw data or can't easily be solved from first principles) and "all white board problems". In my experience the people that take to the internet to complain weren't asked to verify a linked list isn't cyclical or write a topographic sort for a given graph; they were asked to traverse a binary tree or print Fizz Buzz.
The ones I've spoken to mostly seem to believe that satellites don't orbit. The most detailed explanation I've heard is that geosynchronous satellites are balloons and that LEO satellites are autonomous long-range aircraft that are kept aloft 24/7.
Both can be classified as 'anecdotes', I agree, but talking about your work conditions when asked, is a completely different anecdote as opposed to someone not actively complaining when they are with friends/acquaintances.

Average joe getting terminated from a job will not receive references from that employer. References are critical part of most professional interview process.
There are also portions of most interviews, e.g. system design questions, that heavily favor senior candidates.

This would be called "short and distort". That'll win you a friendly visit from the SEC.
Also note that the board is very often composed of current/past/future CEOs of other companies.
I've distanced myself from politics, so I do not know much about what other things Andrew Yang stands for. But I have to agree with him on the aforementioned point about moving people to higher ground; I wish there is some think tank type city/urban planning group that is devising ways to engineer people to move to 'safer' places if climate change turns to worse.
> Async+Await+Futures isn't needed at all

Define "needed" ? Code with async/await is radically simpler compared to without - this is not just basic sugar but really, really important due to rust's borrow semantics There is code I have written that required Rc/RefCell ceremony to get around the borrowchecker that will be completely handled by async/await.

You can read more about this here:

https://aturon.github.io/tech/2018/04/24/async-borrowing/

> performs worse than a basic epoll loop

There are open issues and afaik all of these are solvable problems with known/ theorized solutions.

> is more confusing, and less able to handle complex flow

Sorry, that's absolutely just not the case Even if "confusing" is subjective, you can not tell me that writing complex loops/ control flow is easier in futures than in async/await. Just look at the examples here:

https://docs.rs/dtolnay/0.0.4/dtolnay/macro._01__await_a_min...
But how is any of this related to AI?
> So now there’s significant complexity to getting on the network

Not really, every OS (even Network Manager does a good job) has support for the WPA enterprise login flow. You basically get 1 prompt to trust a cert, then enter your username + pass (usually tied to AD) which you can save to your OS keychain. I've never had to fiddle with the one at my corporate network since first signing in months ago.

I don't know about the actual security benefits, but I do know it stops the typical "capture the handshake & game over"

> And how about when you’re having a meeting with outside people who need to get onto a network?

You set up a crappy rinky-dink "FooBarGuest" network with a PSK that has no real access to the rest of the network and pretty much can just be used for web browsing.
It was not an entry level. There was no designation to the role actually.

But what does that question mean anyway? Say I've been working in java stack for 10 years but for whatever reason I want to move to js/frontend. What else is there than entry level to begin with? Tech careers (at least honest ones) are rarely linear and there are hundreds of reasons for that.
In the Windows operating system there are multiple components running in kernel-space. One of them is the Kernel.

CreateWindowEx does not run in the Kernel, yet it has parts that run in kernel space.
Without using a bias or metric, there is no way to filter a list of items. The only other option is randomness, and there is a notion of fairness to it, at least mathematically. Maybe the list could be 5 options chosen randomly. As long as number of users is several orders of magnitude over the number of choices, it could be considered as somewhat fair.
They don't seem to focus much on the 'digital nomad' side of things either, so I am not sure if that is a big part of their benefits! I'd imagine most of their customers only use local weworks.
I would expect compensation to rise substantially under this rule to account for the new risk of the position, from the Fortune 50 all the way down.

> Anyone building a cutting edge AI product, SHOULD NOT build it before selling it product.

If they are selling a service and AI is part of the blsckt-box implementation, sure.

If “its being done automatically by a machine” is your selling point, and you haven't built a product that does that when you sell the product, it's fraud, pure and simple.

Where did I ever claim that deep learning is new? I am fully aware of its history. Before deep learning, research on neural networks dates all the way back to the 1950s.

You are completely missing the point: "deep learning" and AI are mostly synonymous in the current hype cycle, and it began with breakthroughs in deep learning.

How do you mean "AI today"

That's kind of the point: Google should have to bid and the money spent shouldn' go back to Google.

Such a thing would happen if Android was managed by a separate company.
GE should be a warning for all management gurus. I still remember when Jack Welch was the idol of all managers and I read a lot about how GE was grooming the next generation of super managers. Turns out that Welch didn’t really create a company that could perform with excellence in the long run. Seems he was more of a one hit wonder.
