Facebook is competing with other FAANG [et al] companies for talent, and not all of them are in the same sector. Their market position is only relevant in that it allows them to compete for the kind of talent that $300k a year can buy, and they deem it necessary for maintaining that position, they are not going to pay more than necessary nor are you entitled to more just because they can.

Why does it matter to you whether you make $300k at a company that makes $500k out of you or at one that makes $1m out of you? You would be doing the same job and either way being compensated at the top range of the market for the skills you have. I don't see the point.
It seems, after reading all of these comments that the ONLY significant improvement of highdpi is Font Rendering. I am a 3d artist and do not run HiDPI as it is a waste for my user case. I can see how most people don't do artwork and prefer the font rendering of HiDPI. Please don't think we all want nice font rendering, sometimes we need that 100% scaling.
Sure, but OP said 2GB. A node able to process 4GB blocks would be able to sync at 2x realtime. Most people who run nodes will probably bootstrap new ones in the future anyway and most people don't need to run full nodes in the first place (the majority don't do so today and haven't since light wallets became available).

To get back to reality, I don't think any sane person has advocated for anything close to a 2GB blocksize cap at any point in the near future. Bitcoin Core uses a maximum 4MB block weight and Bitcoin Cash uses a 32MB cap currently. This cheap VPS could sync the entire Bitcoin (Core) blockchain from 2009 to present in less than 12 hours. The biggest block size cap (not full blocks, the cap) being tested seriously is 1GB. I'm sure you know all this, though.
This is why Bay Area houses cost $2 million and why Enterprise SaaS is the only viable startup sector.
"Fullstack" development is just a tiny slice of software. There's an entire economy to be automated, there are endless inefficient processes and massive opportunities there.

I agree, the graphic novel was entertaining, but not an accurate portrayal of their lives.

If you're looking for something more factual, then Russell's own autobiography is a good place to start. Also "The Cambridge Companion to Bertrand Russell" (edited by Nicholas Griffin) is a source I can vouch for.

https://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Companion-Bertrand-Companio...
So it's okay to spread a graphic that exaggerates the data as long as it's "helping to understand the truth"? Is not your perception of the magnitude of the truth subjective? This is another way of saying that it's okay to mislead as long as the issue is sufficiently important and/or people aren't taking it seriously enough (in your judgement).

Metaphors and analogies are supposed to make a concept clearer, not to show scale. A gif with each frame showing the data from each day would have a similar impact but be clearer.
Samsung doesn’t make OLED displays. They would be QLED which is LED with quantum dots on the backlights for a truer white and better colors. LG and Sony have OLEDS. There are also no 80” OLEDS on the market. I think 77” is the largest and they are extremely pricey. You also never seen them in conference rooms since they don’t do well in bright areas unlike high end LEDs that have higher lumens

This covers so much more things than you actual question, but let me try.

You must realize that self confidence is not about thinking you are the best on what you do, but making sure that you are trying to do your best at every opportunity that you are given.

Once you assimilate that, you will understand that asking for help is sometimes the best way to do your best. And you will grow as a person with that.
And is the clickbait of 'Top 8 reasons for why _____, reason 3 will surprise you' remotely comparable to... Actual journalism?

I don't think History of Western Philosophy is bad but it is opinionated. If someone were expecting either a dispassionate overview or heartfelt enthusiasm for all philosophers past I can see how they'd come away disappointed. Especially when he's particularly dismissive.

If you go in expecting Russell's view of Western philosophy through the ages then you'll get just that.
which DSLs are you talking about, as far as I know the only truly heavy-handed DSLs in common use in the Elixirverse are Phoenix, Ecto, and ExUnit.

- I'll say that Phoenix Macros somewhat annoy me, but i can see why they would be useful for someone with a Rails background (which I am not).

- I'm quite happy with not having to think about how Ecto marshals its queries into SQL. Life's too short for that.

- Is it really such an impediment to code grokking to have a `test "label" do...end` construct?

> But after having used Bluetooth headphones for a while, going back to wired headphones was pure hell.

For me going back to wired was amazing. I no longer had to charge my headphone to listen to my music. Want to output to the speaker? Just unplug them physically.

I'm sure the airpod support this much better than the Bluetooth headphone I had on Android, but my biggest pet peeve was shutting them down each time I put them in my pocket, or else any call would go to them.

The problem is you now have investors voting on what the company should do. You buy Apple shares because you trust them to envision the future. I bet most punters would have put money on the next iPhone and nothing else. And also there is the issue of most money coming from index funds just chucking money at everything regardless.
The sentence before that is "First, unit sales of AirPods have significant room to grow from here.".

LOL indeed, is this what counts as market research/insight?
Precious Plastic Version 4 [video]
No, but I am surprised that 6.6% growth is a cause of concern, even if it is lower than whatever the previous number may have been.

The last time we saw growth rates above 5% in the US was during the .com boom and even in the midst of it that was considered unsustainable long term.
because brining up youth unemployment and nothing else is an honest argument about the merits of unions?

It's low effort. It's not useful. It provides no evidence for the argument being put forth. Really it's not even making any sort of argument. It's just a fact presented in the hopes that people will buy a tenuous at best relationship without further insight.
Not really. It does the cause (ecological) harm when obviously misleading maps are posted as representations of fire damage.

It gives the impression Australia is a burnt cinder with no unburnt areas left.
I disagree. A long period of evolution starts when a revolution before that managed to find a more or less working solution. However at this point, there are at least two big problems that haven't been solved properly yet, that get worse every day, and where a revolution would be more probable than evolution - social networks and payments.

I believe at least one more revolution would still be possible before we have a long period of evolution. It will be a shift from centralization to de-centralization (one more time), actually to federation. De-centralized federated systems might be able to get social networking and payments to the level where it finally works well and only needs to be gradually improved.

The rest of the industry (mostly) has worked out how to make a headphone jack water-resistant

Yes, by removing the headphone jack on high-end phones, just like Apple did.

Let's not pretend this is an Apple vs. The Rest Of The Industry sort of thing. The whole sector is going that way; Apple just took the lead.

See also: Floppy drives.
I understand but I don't see the industry going back to boxes 30 page with instruction books.

Having an industry approved crediting scheme would be wonderful but for the most part the only people viewing it is going to be people on the credits. No games industry recruiter looks at a resume and verify names against the in-game credits (or even IMDB) - they will check against references and people they know that you may have worked with. Same as every other job application.

Film may be the last industry where everyone involved still gets credited. TV credits are basically unreadable, streaming music credits only cover the artist, books only list the author.

I'm not arguing against credits, just that they are not important outside of being a cool 'thank you'.
csa: Please do NOT misrepresent what I wrote! My post clearly mentions that the table is "one of many possible examples," and that I have not been able to find a relationship. (FWIW, I chose this particular table as an example mainly because much of today's political debate, e.g., in the Democratic party, is about rising marginal tax rates for the highest brackets.)

Please do not attack a straw-man!
> At small volume with assured availability right now you can plug together off the shelf microcontrollers and ethernet modules for $3-5 per node.

It's depressing that the web has become such a race-to-the-bottom, but here we are. Maybe we need a WASM permission opt-in like what we have for notifications, geolocation, etc.? It'll be hard to communicate what it means to regular users, but I don't see another solution.

Commercial air travel is about 110x safer in terms of fatalities per passenger mile than driving or riding in a car [1].

In 2014, incidents where at least one driver had a detectable amount of alcohol in their system accounted for 36% of traffic fatalities in the US. Even if you exclude those fatalities entirely, driving is still 70x more dangerous.

Now of course you can claim that you're just a better driver than the average person (like 93% of Americans do [3]), but no matter how good of a driver you are, I doubt if it would come anywhere close to making up for a 70x difference.

It's true that the images are slightly outlandish due to the compilation of data over a long period of time. Also not all these fires were or are of the same size or nature (winds, fast moving or slow moving, controlled or wild).

But regardless it's been tragic and devastating.

If you want to shock people, forget showing maps or even pictures of destroyed homes; just show them the footage of burning koalas being rescued and dying off their injuries; that's far more visceral. I can't even watch it without tearing up (from a local's perspective).
Amusingly the Sony WH-1000XM3 are absolutely superlative noise-cancelling over-the-head headphones. They're really a damned good product. But lots of Sony stuff seems driven by random PMs being good at stuff but not being able to make it part of the culture or something.

They also seem technology-driven.
This happens a lot. Direct talent acquisition with a nice payout for the talent running it.
I've just finished the 2nd year of my CS degree. In about 3 minutes I came up with:

1) create an empty string, call it "S2"
2) loop over each char in original string
3) if the char isn't in S2, add it to the end of S2. If the char is already present in S2 then lexicographically compare the prior S2 verse S2 with this char shifted to the end. Keep the lower ordered one.

This took about 3-4 minutes of thinking and is O(n). It might not be optimal, it might not even be a correct solution as I've spent only a few minutes on it. However, I feel it's close and it wouldn't take much to flesh out.

EDIT: This solution is incorrect.
Your comment is really rubbing me the wrong way. How is it "childish" to band together and fight for better working conditions? Because you aren't literally dying in mines you have no right to demand improvements? Your bar is that low?
Nope, no Arduino involved! The original Form 1 and 1+ used an STM32F103. Some of the firmware used libmaple [1], which exposes an Arduino-ish API, but most of the code was low-level C and C++.

Attacking appearing of argument instead of it's content is a fallacy.
If "your side" is being loose with facts, then pointing that out isn't just providing ammunition to "the other side". Arguments are not soldiers you need to support unconditionally to secure victory for "your side" in the war of public opinion. Pointing out when "your side" is wrong will hopefully help it make better arguments in the future.
We're only getting warmed up. Wait until they're invisible, or implanted in your skull.
There is actually a sense in which you can "use up" or "run out" of randomness; it's just almost the exact opposite of how unix-style /dev/random design thinks about it.

Basically, you[0] should think of /dev/random as having a front buffer and a back buffer. The back buffer has a certain amount of entropy in it, but you can't take part of that entropy out; the only thing you can do with it is add entropy or empty the entire back buffer into the front buffer. The front buffer doesn't have a entropy amount per se, what it has is a security rating[1]; when you empty the back buffer into it, its security rating increases up to (not plus) the number of bits in the back buffer (this is not additive; a 256-bit front buffer combined with a 256-bit back buffer produces a front buffer with 256 bits, not 512) and the back buffer goes to zero. If you keep dumping the back buffer into front buffer whenever it reaches 64 bits, you'll never have a RNG that's more than 64-bit secure.

Reading from /dev/random doesn't deplete the front buffer (because CSPRNG) or the back buffer (because it doesn't interact with the back buffer). A memory-read attack on the other hand basically sets both buffers to zero - you have to start all over again.

So you can "use up" randomness by constantly wasting it to refresh a insufficiently-strong front buffer. And you can "run out" if someone is able to read your buffers (or brute force a weak buffer in, say, 2^64 CSPRNG invocations).

0: As a designer. As a user, you should treat /dev/random (like any cryptographic primitive) as something that will look perfectly secure from the outside even if it's hopelessly broken, and investigate the details of the specific implementation you're using accordingly.

1: Just like a cryptographic algorithm; the lowest rating involved determines how secure your system is. A 512-bit RNG with a 64-bit cypher is only 64-bit secure, and a 512-bit cypher fed by a 64-bit RNG is also only 64-bit secure.
Well, now that it's all blown up, the pilots should know not to trust the system, and challenge it. And I would delegate my skepticism to them and trust their judgement. Because if the plane crashes, it's not just their occupation in the line, it's their lives.
You should brush up on protocol buffers. Oh and containers. Mostly protocol buffers.

I can't find the source repo either (source must be made available, can be on-demand to the author, hell the author could send it to you on CD-ROMs if they felt like it and still be compliant).

That said, it makes an ABP-compatible filter list available. This works with ublock origin:

Not at all. But that’s based on a (good) guess about what plane will eventually be scheduled for the flight. Especially if it’s far in advance it’s more likely to change. Also, because it’s likely to change, carriers that use both 737-800 and 737-MAX8 (A lot of them if not most of them) likely use similar seat layouts for both, so last minute plane switches aren’t a problem even if everyone has a seat booked. So they could swap a 737-800 for a 737-MAX8 last second and you’d only know when you board it and spot the split winglets.

It tells you that one hardware product is worth more than one streaming service. Hard to draw any conclusions about the music business as a whole.
To me no, it is not fair at all (although generally there is little to no hiring in the last few months before shipping).

From the game company perspective making the new employee feel good is better than making a former employee feel good.

What is interesting with games that are live for multiple years is how often should in-game credits be updated and how do you credit over time as people join and leave the product with differing amounts of tenure and influence.

But yes, universally agreed crediting rules would be wonderful. I don't see how the collective industry gets there outside of a union pushing for it.
It's true that the images are slightly outlandish due to the compilation of data over a long period of time.

According to the article, it's also true that a lot of places labeled as being on fire are actually things like furnaces, the roofs of large buildings, and "any heat source that is hotter than its surroundings."

The NASA maps are significantly more accurate. According to the article, it has a false-positive rate of just 1%.
You see the circular logic going on in that statement surely. Who was suppose to make the pilots aware?
