"Now, the willingness to work (and therefore the salary curve) has inverted..."

And surely this is a sign of people's laziness, rather than increasing costs of living relative to wages... Rent, student debt, randomly allocated medical debt, ageing parents with caretakers to pay... These things add up. Minimum wage work just moves you backwards; probably better to take a risk on further schooling to get something that pays realistically.
The tweet says:

>Yep, TC had the numbers early and published almost 10 min before numbers actually hit the wires.

It appears the official announcement was supposed to be at 4:10pm EDT[1]. The tweet was at 4:07pm EDT. It's likely the tweet was posted several minutes after the TechCrunch article. So that lines up with the TechCrunch article being ~10 minutes early. The author of the TechCrunch article tweeted it at 4:32pm EDT[2]. There is an archive.org snapshot from 4:02pm EDT in which it has a 404[3]. I'm guessing that snapshot was after it had been taken down, and before it had been put back up. Because if it was before it was ever posted, it raises the question of how did archive.org know which URL to snapshot?

I’m curious — how does this relate to the macOS menu bar, the dock, or any icons that the finder might place on the desktop?

We see an example of what it looks like with what appears to be a single (large) terminal window, but what about those of us with multiple GUI windows on top of the desktop?

And how does this play with macOS spaces?

> Take into considering that while the wages for software engineers were high, they weren't as high as they are now.

That is a common misconception when people do not take inflation and housing cost increases into account. $1USD today is worth only 65 cents in 1999 according to the consumer price index:

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1USD+in+1999

CPI inflation is only 56%, but house prices in the Bay Area have risen 280%:

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=median+house+price+san...

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/06/22/median-price-tag-for-...

Tech worker salaries only seem high relative to salaries for other workers, because the tech worker salaries have not been falling in inflation/housing cost adjusted terms for the past 30 years. IMO computer programmers are, as a whole, grossly underpaid today, just not as underpaid as much as people in other lines of work.
Your argument comes across to me like "Let's not do a thing I agree would be short-term useful and helpful because it's all bad news, all the time." It sound super pessimistic.

Long experience suggests to me that fixing what can be fixed today makes tomorrow better. What a lot of people scoff at as bandaid solutions are very often perfectly good solutions.

Bandaids need to changed regularly while the wound heals. You don't slap a bandaid on and leave it there forever.

It's only worse than doing nothing if it isn't sterile and thereby introduces infection to the wound.

As long as your metaphorical bandaid solution is sterile, it's probably better than doing nothing.

Sometimes, fixing today is the best way to arrive at a brighter tomorrow.

Solving medical errors would be huge. The problem is that it's a long-tailed problem with no clear way to solve with software. Every error is different, and there are already lots of bureaucratic mitigations in place every step of the way. There are no algorithms capable of the general reasoning required to broadly spot all types of errors including de novo ones.

The only way to truly guarantee no medical errors is to replace every agent in a hospital with a machine.

My understanding is that most video websites like Youtube use Media Source Extensions, a standard which allows javascript to download and assemble video streams in non-standard ways. This work is done by page JS and passed to the browser to decode and render. AFAIK youtube uses this to implement DASH streaming.

Presumably there is no easy way to disable page JS but keep your youtube video downloading.

[edit: I overlooked the direct call-out to Indigo in the original post, my mistake. Nevertheless, I'll leave this as perhaps its helpful to others who don't know the company.]

Indigo Agriculture - https://www.indigoag.com/

I worked for a satellite imagery start-up who was acquired by Indigo in December of 2018. I'm obviously biased, but i can genuinely say that the level of innovation taking place throughout this company - towards so many different parts of the agricultural system - has not ceased to astound me since I joined.

They've managed to capture/create/cultivate one of those unique scenarios that rarely happens in any industry: a scenario where all participants benefit. They're helping consumers gain access to healthy, responsibly-sourced food, they're helping to make it profitable for the farmer to provide these foods, and they're helping to make it beneficial to the planet to produce them.

They started as a microbial seed treatment company. By coating seeds with naturally-occurring microbial organisms, these microbes would help crops by making them more resistant to harsh conditions like drought, heat, etc. Kind of like probiotics, but for plants.

Since then, they've expanded into many different parts of the agricultural system, but perhaps their most innovative & potentially impactful contribution is their most recent: the Terraton initiative. They're helping to remove a trillion tons of carbon from the atmosphere by making it financially beneficial for farmers to adopt regenerative agricultural practices to bring this carbon out of the air and into the soil.

I could go on, but the videos and content on their website describe their mission and their work better than I can. I'm really excited about the work we're doing there - I hope you'll think so too.
The engineer of record at the design firm repeatedly indicated that the cracks were of no safety concern.

i know very little about the various methods of voting and wanted to learn something about it here. while i’m not a republican (i’m independent) it’s very hard to take you seriously when your post reads of anti-trump. if people really want voting reform the reason needs to be something other than stopping trump. otherwise it seems like an attempt to game the system and i’m less likely to vote for reforms. granted it looks like you tried to make it neutral but the last paragraph kinda ruined it
I've always had way too much math under my belt which helps a lot and have taught myself a lot of genuine computer science out of personal interest. I actually did Andrew Ng's Coursera machine learning class all the way through as a first introduction to that field before realizing it wasn't so mysterious and was just the application of a lot of math I already knew, then ran through a bunch of tensor flow tutorials when that first came out and the like. Then just experimented on my own. I have a knack for data though.

Formally from school, I've only had 3 semesters of scientific programming in Fortran and a shitload of math. That and years and years of building models and massaging data in Excel.

Mostly I'm just really used to learning a new API/tool and applying it to new things.

A lot of the ML stuff hasn't been fancy ML, just basic things but applied in really clever and novel ways.

I am. I’m building an automated design tool that converts design tool files into auto generated code or a templating language that can be used to render views / flows natively on web / native mobile. I’m looking for someone who can help with web front end and backend, I work horizontally across the stack on iOS / Android building SDKs and native mobile experiences. I have 6 years of experience in the industry, have been part of a successful acquisition and now mostly highly interested in building this design company idea.

Why am I building this? Companies waste too much resources on building design then handing off later — essentially 2X the work. Giving designers / product people this sort of technology would empower them to validate their ideas quickly — essential to finding product market fit quickly.

Where I’m currently at:
- I have an exceptionally fast text editor
- I can convert 3 of the major mobile design tool files into a templating language than can be used to render native views on the fly
- Mac app centered around this technology
- Lots of hard problems solved around the current idea

What I’m looking for:
- someone who is as excited about this idea as I am
- someone experienced in backend and web front end
- Next steps are finalizing UX / porting a web app for people to use (sort of like Figma)
- integrate in analytics services
- versioning system for designers

Most retail stores have been heavily surveilled for a long time by cctv for shoplifting purposes.

One, perhaps naive, hope I have for edge based technologies is to enable scenarios that are actually more private. In my scenario, if the processing of the video stays at the edge and only anonymized or aggregated information is sent up to the cloud/ larger organization, then is much better then if the video is shipped offsite and processed.

It’ll take some interesting legislative efforts to really frame this well, but the Europeans (and the state or Illinois with their facial recognition law?) at least seem to be headed that way.
It seems that we have different experiences with regards to typing errors. Perhaps due to different practices, coding styles and problem domain.

> I think CRISPR-Cas9 seems like the most exciting technology probably in all of science.

I tend to agree. However, having spoken at length about this with a friend doing her PhD, there are a few major problems between now and then.

- Scope: if you thought Big Data (relating to human behavior) was a massive endeavor (still very much not solved, not by a long shot), try genetics. We're talking orders of magnitude Bigger Data. We have the PoC but finding practical solutions remains a hard problem as we speak (needle in a haystack).

- Money: Bio-sectors don't pay software engineers enough to compete with the tech sector (almost no one does), and bio-experts are generally not good enough at it. So there's a huge lack in terms of dual [SE skills + domain knowledge] experts for this category of problems. Research funding is massive in big (private) pharma and comparably non-existent in basic research — and for now, CRISPR-Cas9 is mostly the latter.

The first problem (resources) will probably solve itself as time goes by (assuming some Moore's Law continuation however it's done), however the second problem (domain / education politics? Idk how to call it) could virtually be forever — academia and big pharma aren't exactly known for being fast movers or innovators, let alone disruptors. Especially when CRISPR-Cas9 is a direct threat to well-established revenues in the trillions — curing whatever is much less profitable than selling drugs to ease symptoms over a lifetime.

If this sounds like somptuous irony, it's probably because it is.

> If we rely upon the projection product of Euclidean vectors, we've already granted Pythagorean theorem in our assumptions.

The Pythagorean theorem in particular (and any theorem in general) is always a little bit “circular”; the relation is inherent in any definition of perpendicular in a model of Euclidean space.

In geometric algebra (where multiplication of vectors distributes over addition), the two statements a² + b² = (a + b)² ⇔ ab + ba = 0 are obviously equivalent, so taking either of them as a definition for “perpendicular” immediately proves the other.
I wholeheartedly agree and I am surprised to not see Tor mentioned as an alternative.

This is a problem with the modern age. If someone is too clueless, arrogant, or deluded for us to prove they had criminal intent, is it really a crime?

In my ideal world, yes. But under the US justice system, perhaps not. Both political and business leaders have gotten away with amazing amounts of what I'd say is at best criminal negligence because they say, "I didn't know" or "I thought it was fine" or "I believe in my vision".
Is this based on any historical data beyond the 20th century? Because the 20th century is not necessarily representative of the "standard" human nature. With all the wars, rapid technological advancements, globalisation, etc., we have created a different environment and different kind of people.

I love this. If we have an alternate route for healthcare directly marketed to end users, that's a way around the insufferable healthcare monopoly. Healthcare piracy.

The average person who reads the first 10 pages of search results for their disease definitely knows more about it than their doctor. Doctors are smart, but medicine is huge and they aren't polymaths.

Absolutely, as far as people in his cohort go I don't think he's necessarily any more unethical or selfish than the mean. In fact, given that SoftBank's Vision Fund is backed by a nation with some fairly severe human rights issues, one could even argue that from a utilitarian standpoint he has done good.

My issue with him is from my belief that a society filled with people who act like he has is destined to far less long term success than one where people are less self-serving.
