Why would you do this? You’re getting $6 / hour. To become usefully profitable you would need to answer questions much much faster.

It sounds like you’re really just betting that you can middle man search engines by being better at searching for users who suck at it.

Reading between the lines, your plan is to look at questions, google the answer, and if you don’t see it immediately, say that it’s not answerable. There’s no way even 1% of these questions can be answered off the top of your head or the collective heads of your workforce... and you don’t have time to do diligent research.

So the US sanctions on Huawei, that were intended to be crippling and were fairly abrupt and harsh, had only a minor effect on Huawei. That should scare the shit out of the US government. It means that China is much more self-sufficient in technology than they figured.

The future of high technology at this time does seem to be in the hands of China with the rest of the world contributing a bit. I suspect OSes and architectural chip designs are one of the last things that China hasn't really developed home grown in a successful way, but it is likely next. Thus taking on directly Microsoft Windows, Android, ARM and Intel.

I live in the shadow of a big university, so I know a lot of academics. The college breaks are a great time to get stuff done that requires "flow" because it's a little less busy and your time isn't chopped up by classes and other stuff. I don't know an academic who doesn't have a list of things they want to get done during the next break.

Holidays is when I take care of my side business.
A priori that story seems right. But surely early man still had to survive Winter, so they actually would have had techniques to store and preserve foods (smoking, drying) and so would likely have picked a pile of berries/nuts and carried them to ration over the time spent hunting, or kept dried meat to hand? For sure you'd also have days where you'd eaten all the food, just as people do now.
Mostly by hiring them as independent contractors or by their company invoicing services to yours. Healthcare, taxes, etc. are what is taken care of on their side. If your operations get bigger, things get more complex. You were given nice answers on that.

Your article does not support the idea of the cost having doubled - hence (I assume) the suggestion of clickbait.

In order to show that the pricing has doubled, you'd need to show an increase in actual monetary cost to a customer, not that the margins have changed. The table of prices has no historical data, making change impossible to determine.

I'm sympathetic to the idea that RDS is overpriced, but can't say I'm convinced by this article alone.
One case I've come across them using it for is delivering updates for visible tweets in a timeline (e.g. like/retweet counts being mutated).
Yes, I misunderstood that.
The publication cycle is vicious. We hear a lot about the hard-working academic, but it won’t change until researchers themselves decide it’s not worth it. And please don’t tell me it’s about promotions. That’s a small part of the story.

A typical tenure is far more secure than an industry position, yet many of my colleagues work just as hard, if not harder, than the assistant profs hoping to obtain tenure. To date, I haven’t heard a good reason for why they keep working so hard. It’s never mother dying or bills to pay. Rather they are always wishy-washy reasons that hide the real truth: They like it. They enjoy it. It gives them meaning and purpose. Not to mention sabbaticals: I see senior faculty frequently delaying sabbaticals too, for reasons as varied as the individuals themselves and none of them ring true. I often ask, “Do you really think committee A or initiative B would not survive without you?” They hem and haw, but have no concrete statements to back up their reasoning. And don’t get me started on academics who continue to practice into the 70s and 80s, well past their best before date. Most can’t even remember the names of their grad students. It’s pure hubris. The norm should be retiring to teaching-only roles, and hand the mantle of research over to the younger faculty or stepping away from the lab they created by selecting a successor. Rather, it’s the exception.

If all the senior faculty across academia collectively took a break in the same timeframe, say one or two months every year, it would create opportunities for the younger members to step in and shine in their own way across the stratum of activities. Publications receiving fewer (and invited!) papers from senior academics would accept more research from the juniors, there would be more openings on committees. There would be greater career growth at the early stages.

In short, the inmates are at least partly responsible for the rules of the asylum.
It's a little bit more subtle. Assume that there is a finite number of primes, and P is the set of all primes p0, p1, p2... pn. If you multiply all these together and add 1, you have a number Q that's not divisible by any number in P. So P cannot be the set of all primes.

This just seems like a Ad for their working tech of placing ads in movies, by making up something currently fanciful for attention.

You'd have to pre-render multiple versions to stream and store online for the group of people who maybe watching, which loses the whole 'targeted' advertising idea anyway.

The ads will be noticeable, to work they have to be in focus to read which is not normal on TV Shows or movies, it will change the experience, Netflix won't want to kill their brand.

And I think the ability to just update ads post production would deliver 99% of value, which is still a market they have yet to capture even on re-runs on crappy TV.

The weird criticism that Big Tech is too digital
> In this way, an algorithm is fairer than dispatcher for the drivers, but the dispatcher is fairer for the passenger

The algorithm is the dispatcher, and theoretically, would weed out drivers that discriminate after a certain number of incidents. I don’t see why a human dispatcher has less reason to discriminate than a driver. Presumably, discrimination is to maximum use revenue, which is in both the driver and dispatcher’s interest.
I've never seen the claim regarding 25.173 properly sourced.
Good old extortion
I struggle to understand the motivation behind publicly sharing one's own salary, especially with one's own coworkers. It seems to be primarily a movement of low achievers trying to cripple the progress of high achievers, or falsely lay claim to the same rewards as them.

It seems to be a rather meak attempt at collective bargaining without the resolve to collectively organize, and I don't see it working out well for anyone involved.
Wait, are you really practicing an environment where your developers have an understanding of operations.

Dang, I wish we had a term for this blending of roles...
1. Shows you separate entries (pseudo-anonymized) instead of showing statistical numbers like averages and spreads.

2. By requiring users to share their wage information at signup. The idea is that to see salaries of others you need to share yours first. It’s possible to delete wage entry later, but also that makes the user lose access to others, until they either: add wage entry again or upgrade to paid account plan.

3. Yes, I agree that certain folks will have no motivation to share, because they don’t care to know what others ("below" their level) earn. What could be interesting for them is what others of the same or similar level earn. So maybe something like peer-to-peer sharing may be interesting to these folk.

4. We’re going to implement an algorithm that will try to detect "suspicious" data entries, and devise some a more advanced validation mechanism. Such entries will be hidden from other users in the meantime.

So there are two fields: core wage (this is what you get no matter what), and other benefits estimate (here you just bundle everything else, and for non-deterministic stuff, make your best estimate, of what it’s worth).

"More than 50% come from bonus or stock, or others" is actually not quite true in every culture or country. For what I’ve seen here in Germany and in few other countries, 90% or even more is the base salary.
For someone coming from shops that mostly ran Oracle, RDS pricing is a beyond awesome.

The ignorance in this thread is rather concerning.

Let me correct: GTK+ is not C++, it's C. Qt is very cross-platform: it supports about 10 platforms, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. You are not doing anything close to compositing raw pixels in Qt or GTK+. They have layout managers that are specifically made for typical application UIs, and they have lots of ready-made widgets. Qt also has QML, which is a declarative UI descriptions language kind of like HTML/CSS but much more productive because (gasp) it's actually designed from the ground up for applications, not websites.

I use a Huawei - it takes surprisingly great photos and is generally well made. Some annoying software pop-ups, though. I guess the worst part is that I feel the need to loudly state that "I support the actions of the Chinese government" on a regular basis, just to be safe.

This is nice, but that webfont bullet is a weird take. If you're hosting the font yourself and you're using a modern format, fonts don't add a lot of overhead, and if they happen to fail then the browser will take the next item down the stack. It's textbook progressive enhancement. Nothing about adding a webfont properly will prevent Web content from lasting and being maintained for 10 years.

"your focus should be about delivering the content to the user effectively and making the choice of font to be invisible, rather than stroking your design ego" - these aren't the only two options?

Somehow that doesn’t seem to happen with editors; we have a ton of them and they are very customizable.

I guess “with a reasonably stable hook api” was supposed to be implicit in my statement.
I seem to miss something here? If RDS went from $0,465 to $0,342 per hour as shown in the table, that’s roughly a decrease by one third in cost for me. Where does the „suddenly doubling the cost“ part come from? Isn’t it that the total cost for me decrease, just not at the rate of other AWS offerings?
It's only a "numbers game" if you treat it as such by "shot-gunning" your applications. Much better to exercise your professional network (in the flesh or online).

The whole point of web-based application process is to weed out as many candidates as possible. If you can skip that step and first make contact with a human, the odds are much better and it's less work and stress for everyone.
I hear you, and I'm still at the beginning.

I have a 1-and-a-half year old. I'm very lucky because I work from home, my wife doesn't work and I'm in a good work-life balance situation (good company).
The incredible advantage of working at home and being a Software Developer is that I don't need to sit at a computer all the time to do my job. Good chunk of it is thinking through a problem, I can do that while I lay on the floor and let my baby crawl on me ;)

That being said, I can relate. I end up an entire week where all I did was work, get groceries, get other stuff from somewhere else.

I did try to optimize my time though: when I'm in the washroom, sitting on the throne, I read 5-10 pages of a book instead of my RSS feed (I leave that to the moments when I'm too tired). That over the course of 1 years adds up, I almost finished 4 books, which is a lot with a kid!

I got a tablet to stream my PC there, so that I can play a few videogames when in bed, however most of the time I just fall asleep or play 30 minutes at most. I need 10 hour to get decent rest (the baby moves/do stuff during the night. Yes she sleeps with us, otherwise we would get 1 hour of sleep).

Audiobooks have proven very helpful, I listen to those when going to buy groceries, I manage to keep growing while I wait to get back my time.

What I'm missing the most is time with my wife. I mean, we stay all day together, but we rarely get to play something together. We recently made a big purchase: a board game table. This should allow us to play when the baby naps and keep the board game set, so hopefully we can go back to play board games without having to wait 4-5 years.

That's all the "wisdom" I have to offer. I bet you already figured out all of it since you are further in the parenting voyage, but in case you missed it, that's my 2-cents, hope it's of some help.

That being said, I do love my baby. Some weeks I really need that 1 hour of gaming or reading, otherwise I go crazy, but most of the time is either work or kids.

Some weeks I just need 10 minutes hugging with my wife, to recover lack of "us" time
haha right, the font is the only thing that has proper fallback and always works.
Sad, so much for their enlightenment!
It sounds like you are saying that there aren't enough professorships for how many people want to do (and can do) research. Blaming the professors seems misplaced.

The biggest criticism in the comment is that... professors enjoy doing the work they are paid to do?
Oh boy, I see I ruffled some feathers here, 10 downvotes within few minutes.

Where I live, taxi drivers need to purchase medallion from given municipality, a massive investment. You can't just slap a taxi logo on the car and start driving people. From customers perspective this is a monopoly since they are all the same, charge all the same, have all the same drawbacks and most people hated them. From customer's perspective, they are indeed a 'taxi company'.

Uber was the first competition to entrenched taxi driving business.

You just write REFUSED on the unopened letter. It's best to scribble out your address to prevent their automated system from simply re-delivering it to you. I do this on postcards as well (which cannot be opened by definition) and they will take those. If it's first class mail they'll return it to the sender, otherwise they will take it back and discard/recycle it.
Easier? Yes. Helpful? Not IMHO. I spent my first 20 years on this earth incapable of processing critique, regardless of merit. It was incredibly difficult to get out of that. But once you realize that rejection or critique is just input, you can learn from it. It's obviously not always helpful, but the majority of the time it sure is (YMMV).

You can categorize some cases into these:

1) Someone has observed something you do that you're unaware of, and could work on.

2) Someone has misinterpreted something you do, and now you know they have, but can be glad they told you so you know where they stand, and/or clear the confusion by explaining what really happened.

3) Someone doesn't like something you do, but you are already aware of you doing it, but think your way is better, for reasons X, Y and Z, and if you feel like it you can explain that.

4) Someone who has more experience than you recognizes a behavior from their earlier selves, and points this out so that you get a head start at learning their lesson.

Regardless of the merit of the feedback, you can't process it and deal (or not deal) with it until you hear it.

If you can step away from yourself and just observe and reflect, there are so many things you can learn that I wish I could imprint on a younger me. But at least I'm trying to catch up as a 30-something now.
So I built 2 different SaaS products out of my own consulting agency (that actually made it to market). And I did them both differently.

I lucked into a situation with one product where basically a client needed a tool to do a job but it was something we had solved like 6 times in the past couple of years, so we knew there was a market for it. So we did team up with him on it essentially. He had no interest in the product part, just needed his problem solved, but he liked the idea of a discount on his dev fees. So what we did is cut our dev fees to him (still covering our costs), he got a worldwide non-exclusive license to use the product but not to resell, and we kept the rights to resell. So in the end, he got a product & free support for a period of time (at a steep discount) and we got a money maker, not great money but real money.

The second time I just sucked it up and used off-time and down-time from consultants and myself to build the product. While it took us much longer, and nearing launch we had to dedicate more time to it which meant me funding a couple of people full time (versus just down time hours), I would say I preferred this route. It meant we didn't have to compromise on features, or develop a feature we felt/knew had no basis to be in the product. What I liked was we could focus on making a product first, which is hard to do when you are essentially solving someone else's problem. I'd do this route again over the other just for the simplicity, yes more risk, yes longer time to market, but much less of a compromise which you then turn around and spend months fixing later.

Right, but if you were testing N=13 as the highest prime, then (2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13) + 1 must either be prime itself, i.e. have no prime factors, or must have a prime factor greater than 13. And in either case, a prime greater than 13 exists - in your example, 59.
