> Why do news websites want to shove autoplaying videos on people's throats so much, what's wrong with playing at any time when you want?

There was a bubble awhile back when advertisers were being told that video had better metrics, and all of the news sites jumped on higher-paying ads. That seems to have tapered off as advertisers noticed poor returns and learned that Facebook had been massively misrepresenting the metrics (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/10/advertisers-alle...) but it’ll take years to de-pivot everyone’s shiny new toys and the staffing invested in producing low information density content.

"The honest truth is that you shouldn't. " (believe your own memory)

That does not seem like a good way to live.

Imagine "not trusting your memory" tomorrow morning, and refusing to recognize your bedroom, your spouse, your kids, family, your house, car, coworkers etc.

Seems like one would go insane, quickly. So yeah, I guess you do need to trust your memory - but judiciously.
Silent switches aren't completely silent; near inaudible is relative, and given that you're evaluating switches in terms of their sound on a recording, "near inaudible" might work great for you.

There are a lot of variables when it comes to lubed switches, with the type and amount of lube used having an effect on the overall feel and sound. This is an interesting guide and rather long discussion about methods of lubing Cherry MX switches, for example.[0]

You'll find a lot of videos some decent decent recording tests[1] of switches in general out there, but not a ton that are exhaustive comparisons of different switches and modifications. This video,[2] for example, compares decibel readings from Cherry MX Red, Blue, the Topre 45g, and Cherry MX Silent Black and Reds.[0] Comparing across different tests has obvious problems, and since you're looking for a sort of goldilocks sound level for a specific use case (not inaudible, not too loud, just right for recording), you might wind up wanting to experiment a bit with a switch tester. Other factors like the keyboard case construction and the keycaps you're using are going to have an effect as well; a mat underneath the keyboard will have a noticeable effect for many keyboards, for example. Not to mention how you type and whether you're bottoming out. Personally, I find that kind of experimentation fun but not everyone will agree.

Because you're recording, it might be easier to look at testing different microphone positions and experimenting with positioning a few layers of foam between your keyboard and microphone to absorb some of the higher frequencies. You won't be able to make it entirely silent, which isn't the goal, but you might be able to get it to a level that sounds pleasant in your recordings.

I'm a recent grad with a bachelors in computer science and 1 class short of a masters in computer science. I was in a combined BS/MS program. Decided recently to look for a job instead of finishing my masters.

I prefer low-level and back end code but have exposure to Android and Node.js and am open to any developer role. I'm able to pick up any programming language quickly and have also written code in Python, C#, MIPS Assembly and Scheme in the past. Recently, I've been learning golang as it seems like it offers the performance of C/C++ and the safety of more modern languages. I have an academic background in compilers, concurrency, distributed systems, databases and computer architecture.

I'm looking for a job where I can gain experience and grow as a developer. I'm willing to consider relocating with or without a relocation package.
Yeah, Project Treble is great and everything, but phones not being updated to the latest version of Android when they're less than 2 years old is a marketing/roadmap limitation, not a technical one.
This looks very interesting. If all it takes is dropping “with, eval, and prototype inheritance” to get fast and efficient JS execution, I’m all for it.
Right, obviously.
The submarine incidences frighten me enough, nevermind Skyfall.

If its a single fund, like Enron's pension fund, they are toast.

If its a chunk big enough like the 2008 crisis, then they swoop in.

The fascinating part is how advertisers fall for that every time. How can this still be a problem?
Yes, but it is significant that an industry leading company chose it over a RTOS or other embedded system for a high volume project.

> Apps guys think there wouldn't be much demand for restaurant food, weren't it for the apps ecosystem.

Yeah, like no one ever went to restaurants before the app ecosystem was created.

When you physically go to a restaurant now, you have to be put in a queue with all the people ordering from apps.

I've been in nearly empty restaurants where the wait was unbearably long.

We just kept watching them ship bag after bag of food out the door.

Don't be the reason people think 'privacy nuts' are so. A true pivot to privacy would be an exceptionally good thing for Google.
That's also the reason that you can't play poker with multiple decks shuffled together, despite this being common in blackjack. The rules of hold 'em don't allow for the possibility of two players both having the nut flush, nor is there any concept of "five of a kind," which would of course at some point happen with multiple decks in play concurrently.
The article is referring to why CA might want to go nuclear, not why neighboring states might want to do so. My points reflect that specifically. Also, power transmission across 500+ miles to get it from a neighboring state with nuclear-suitable sites is not insignificant (typically in the range of 1-2% per 100mi).

What data are you basing your second point off of? All the stats I've ever seen are using electricity sales to estimate their per-capita numbers. For example, [1]. Rooftop solar would be accounted for only as a general dip in sales, not as a specific reduction in per-capita consumption if that makes sense (we might be saying the same thing). This quote from [1] is relevant here:

"Rapid growth in the adoption of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in states such as Hawaii and California has contributed to the recent decline in some states’ retail electricity sales. Small-scale solar PV systems, often installed on residential rooftops, offset the amount of electricity that consumers need to buy from the electric grid. In 2016, residential distributed PV generation was equivalent to 15% of electricity consumption in the residential sector in Hawaii, 6% in California, and 3% in Arizona."

That 6% number for CA has grown in the last 3 years as well and continues to do so. It's a bigger offset than most people think.

Wouldn't it make it better? It seems far more efficient to have 1 car drive an optimal route to 500 houses delivering items than have 500 cars all drive to 1 store to pick up their items.
Regarding competitive advantage, I don't think so but that's just an opinion without any backing in data. But that is an educated opinion, which I'll justify later. Regarding Mixed competitions, at least in the US, the answer is yes. There are traveling American Darts Organization (ADO) tournaments that feature mixed singles and teams events like the Witch City Open.

I played league darts for about twenty years in the U.S. I had the privilege of knowing the First and Second ranked woman darters in the U.S. ten years ago. Either of them could tell you about games where they frustrated a male opponent who thought he was "just playing a girl".

To reverse that opinion I'd have to meet a Female darter who practiced as much as the highly skilled Male darters I know and still had a lower point-per-dart average. But in the US, that's not likely because everyone starts in league darts. league darts can be a "boys only club" depending on your team so the nature of the lower levels can be a little off-putting for woman.
I hear you. This to me seems like a trivial problem however. Just limit it to X number of packages delivered to your door, per week.
How far are they willing to go? I wouldn't be surprised London has similar problems, but in LA I owned a house on a "back road" that ran parallel to the 405 going north over a hill. The house was built 100 years ago. Neighbors told me the road was fine until Waze/Google maps about 10 years ago. My small house went up in value quite a bit the few years I was there, but if I wanted to buy a house on a cul-de-sac it would have been double the cost of my house. My neighbors over the 30+ years they lived there had added on to their house (like many others in the area). Last I heard they were unable to sell it--who would buy a large house on a very busy road? (their's wasn't the only example I saw) There's no school or anything to warrant blocking traffic. I'm sure it's a useful road for many people where taking the highway would double their travel time.

They keep trying to expand the 405 and there aren't feasible public transit options. The few that exist rarely put you close enough to where you need to get.

At least in the US, I feel like this road design fell out of favor a decade or two before GPSes and smart-phones. Instead of smaller roads that get improved as traffic increases, they have dedicated roads for thru traffic and neighborhoods become rat's nests, designed to discourage thru traffic. Neither system seems to "grow" very well, but of course locals prefer the "modern" approach.

There was talk in my neighborhood of locals blocking off the road in the middle, which seems to make it more like the "modern" solution I've noticed in medium density housing and solve the "Waze problem."
Oso | Software Engineer | New York City (NYC) - Onsite | https://www.osohq.com/

Oso (backed by Sequoia) is making backend infrastructure security not terrible for developers and ops. We provide a normalized and consistent interface to core security controls, like authentication and encryption, and we do so in a way that’s invisible to developers and simple for ops. To get from alpha to a production-ready v1, we need a small number of sharp engineers who want to get involved on the ground floor and who have some combination of experience in and appetite for taking on these kinds of problems:

1. Building an elegant experience for a highly technical end-user, e.g., making it easy and intuitive for an ops engineer to get up and running in <5 mins

2. Low-level distributed systems, e.g., building lightweight proxies that manage requests asynchronously and deal with things like caching and network failures

3. Running an on-path production service, e.g., building a scalable and resilient service layer across multiple regions and cloud providers

We are building the product in Rust, which we think is both a good design choice for our use case and a fun choice for the team. The engineers who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company. Given the importance of these team members and magnitude of their contribution, they will get a meaningful equity position.

Founding team: Graham Neray (early employee and Chief of Staff at MongoDB) and Sam Scott (PhD in Cryptography).

To apply, please email graham@osohq.com.

Evidation Health | Santa Barbara, SF, San Mateo | Full time and Interns | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://evidation.com/careers/

Evidation runs health studies combining digital data with traditional markers. In addition we run a "why don't you build some good habits" consumer app.

It's an exciting place to be: we work with companies you've heard of to do research you'll hear of. Additionally the company really does only pursue business opportunities that it thinks lead to better health outcomes, so I don't have to worry (much) about all our data being used for advertising or worse. There's a strong culture around privacy, security, and only using data as consented.

As listed on the careers page we have openings on all teams and for all offices, but I'm specifically leading a small team of Rails backend engineers in Santa Barbara who work on "bridge" services that talk to 3rd party APIs, primarily for data ingestion. I'd love to talk to someone with 2+ years of backend experience in or interested in relocating to Santa Barbara. The company in general is very remote friendly and I'd consider adding remote to this team for the right candidate, but more likely at this time a remote Rails engineer would fit in best on one of our other Rails backend teams.

I'm happy to field and route general inquiries about other roles and teams, but again especially looking for a Rails engineer who'd enjoy working on critical data ingestion and related services. jkimmel at evidation dot com

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad it there wasn't such a hurry. It's the next day or possible this day delivery that makes this so bad.
What do you find nonstandard about it? I was able to start writing code on mine right away, and I’m a touch typist.
That right, you're correct. If I want to buy a new phone that's three years old, I can pay $450 for an iPhone 7. Or $600 for a 2 year old phone, or $750, for a phone released a year ago, which is more what I would consider when buying a new phone (why would I buy a new phone that's multiple years old hardware?). So, I think $750 is a fair amount to reference, and I agree that $1000 is a bit high.
Beat me to it. I can't imagine how even with the boxes(many which are recycled) it is less efficient for a single route driver to replace hundreds if not more individual trips for the same result.

It probably depends on the technique. Some counts are pretty easy to manage, like simply keeping a tally of the number of 10+ cards vs. total cards. It does take practice, but it's way easier than trying to keep a tally of every card you've seen in your head.

But yeah, it's really easy for casinos to keep a track of your betting pattern and kick you out if you're playing the game too well. That's why the really successful card counters play as groups with personas. They'll station a bunch of low key guys around the casino and have them maintain a steady stream of cheap wagers while they count. When a table gets hot they'll signal a flamboyant high stakes looking guy to sit down and play a few rounds.

The Casinos will eventually catch those guys too, simply by correlating who is sitting at what tables when the high stakes guy comes to play, but it takes a lot more work and they make out with a bunch more cash. Worse, because what they're doing isn't illegal the casio can't even deny them the winnings, only kick them out and plaster their faces all over the blacklists the casinos use.
Sports interests me more. I would rather spend time looking at sports analytics than Wall Street analytics.

In all honesty, security is just really hard and we're really bad at it. Perhaps an alternative would be to establish standards when it comes to security team headcount and salary in an organization? That way they're incentivized to follow the rules and you have more leeway to punish them if they don't follow the baseline.
