It's definitely a mix. You can't hire just juniors because you need seniors to mentor/train them. You also probably don't want just seniors because as you said, they need the bodies. Add to that the fact that you must expect people to leave, so you have to plan for the future.

If you can manage a balance of both, depending on the individuals in the team it can end up being beneficial as juniors level-up and seniors tackle the higher-level stuff.

Its actually very useful.

A limited number of parameters can be genuinely altered - a better photo can be taken, and vaccinations can be administered for example.

Animal rehoming centres have to balance throughput with cost; reduced per pet costs mean that they are able to expand or support more complex cases.

Whilst keeping a pet in a "space" and feeding it does cost, this cost can easily be significantly less than vaccinating, particularly as some vaccines require a few days hold post vaccine. Similarly if the vaccine will not alter a pets rehoming chance, then it is an unnecessary cost.

Pictures may be more easily applied as a tighter feedback loop (of the 5, use the 3rd) however they may also indicate other issues that could be addressed (over / underweight, coat damage, etc.) and addressing those issues have costs to balance and predict.

Again, I'm not defending Pleskov. If he had come forth with the hack, things would have been different. Instead, he pretended that he had ML solution, pocket the money and put an extraordinary effort into making sure that people can't actually figure out his true doings. He was disingenuous, fully self-aware that he was in the wrong and did his best to cover up his tracks. It wasn't fair to other competitor and it was most certainly not fair to the organization trying to do something good. So yes, Pleskov, remains indefensible.

You seem to assume that the current tech investment bubble will gently deflate with minimal collateral damage. But judging by the historical record, it's far more likely to go out with a bang along with a general market overcorrection, the least of which is a whole bunch of startup software engineers suddenly looking for a job. Google had almost nothing to do with the GFC, but it still froze hiring for a while in 2008 when Lehman Brothers collapsed.

Fascinating, and real work. From TEFL contexts, I am told by my partner the distinct linguistic problems different language groups have with english sounds are notorious and very very culture/language specific: Spanish speakers make different pronounciation errors to Chinese and vice-versa, which I think goes to the same place.

But against that, the commonality of the Chomsky grammer model is strong. Doesn't matter what language you speak from childhood, what you develop appears to be part of a larger (universal) comprehension model. So having brain effects differ by language group is .. interesting.

Not to be confused with the headline-grabber "she woke up speaking french" which is a crap pop-sci take on brain issues affecting speech centres, but is totally NOT becoming randomly fluent in french, and no french speaker thinks is french, it just sounds "frenchy" to the anglo-speakers hearing them (or Russian, or whatever: the point is the headline is always mostly the same: she "speaks" some other language)
'gross profit' has a very specific meaning that is unintuitive. It doesn't include fixed costs or taxes. It's much better to look at profit margin, which is what they actually make. For Comcast's case, it's like 11.5%.
Is there evidence of explicit attempted blackmailing? Based on the screenshotted WhatsApp messages, it kind of seemed more like vengeance and taunting than extortion. There's surely an implied "this is what happens when you fuck with us", and an attempt to instill fear in Bezos, but I think he'd have to be really naive to seriously believe the threat of exposing an affair would actually get Bezos to tell the Washington Post to back off from reporting on Saudi Arabia. Even if that sort of thing has worked for him in the past, I think he's gotta know that's a pretty farfetched outcome for Bezos and WaPo.

Not defending MBS, of course; he's obviously a megalomaniac despot who brutally murders critics and probably does all sorts of other horrific things the public isn't aware of. But I don't see evidence of demands made by him or anything like that in the report.

If I were to bet on it, I suspect the primary intention was to spy on Bezos and his close contacts, with a secondary intention of petty revenge, and a third intention of intimidation. The Khashogghi thing felt like revenge, too, rather than some sort of cool-headed political calculus. You probably don't torture and chop someone up if you don't have a grudge.

Intimidation definitely is in the same ballpark as blackmail, but it's not exactly the same. I think he might just feel the need to retaliate against who he considers his opponents, due to his immense ego and upbringing. WaPo, and, by extension, Bezos, may have genuinely hurt his ego. He's probably the most powerful human being alive - in his own mind. He may not be wise enough to realize all of this stuff inevitably ends up backfiring on him, with a geopolitical sort of Streisand effect. Though the intelligence he gained from a year's worth of access to Bezos' phone might have made it worth it in the end.

If this is accurate, then the sources saying they were aware of the plan to hack Bezos' phone but not aware of an attempt to blackmail him may be technically telling the truth. Also, this is obviously all uninformed armchair psychoanalysis. I could easily be completely wrong about most or all of this.
This is impacting us as our application relies heavily on Lambdas connecting to RDS via VPC. Has been down on and off since about 12pm AEST today. Doesn't seem like there's any easy ways for us to resolve or work around without just waiting for AWS to fix.

Hello, Startup – 360 overview of running tech business
Google had nothing to do with 2008 indeed, but look at where tech salaries are today. Clearly that unrelated disaster was not going to impede tech's climb. I considered the parent poster's question within the context of uniquely big tech risks. Global economic risks impact all industries; there's nothing particularly unique there. If we have another global crisis, we could tank for a bit, then recover, and FANG staff salaries could end up exceeding the $500-600k mark. When implying these "golden years" could end, do we mean a local maximum or an absolute maximum? We could be quantifying this a bit more precisely to uncover more insightful reasoning.
I'd really love some world changing breakthrough technology now. I really would. But I don't really understand this stuff (not that I'm qualified). I guess you can actually patent a perpetual motion machine, so the fact that it is a patent, doesn't seem to require that it be real.

I can't help but think back to the 80's SDI "Star Wars" programs. We said that we could do a lot of things that we couldn't, and that made the Russians crazy.

Now I'm not prone to conspiracy theories, but could it be possible this is a misinformation campaign?

It's interesting the "new IEEE paper" referenced in the paper only has the one author and no coauthors. I wonder who (if anyone) peer reviewed this paper? Also in the views, interestingly it's only had 40 views (not sure if this is paper views, or not, it says PDF and HTML views). Sadly I don't have access to read it!

If "south" is a sudden and extreme loss of value, then you might be just as screwed with a house as well: think of a flooding of an area, having a catastrophic wildfire nearby, or a sudden increase of crime in your neighborhood (technically leaving you able to live in the house, but maybe you don't want to do that for your dear life).
I'd guess this is a xkcd reference.

Sorry - just saw this!

So think of the sbox as a function. What happens if you apply the function over and over again? The order of a group like that would be small (particularly since the sboxes are random).

Also, the output space of the hash function would be quite restricted as a result of the group order being low.
So, A is a friend of B and B is a friend of C, then A will see all of C's content?
Yes, I would. At least basic skills. Depending on the size of the course referenced above... I'd say sure - take it. Be familiar with it, and the potential problem space it addresses - have a rough idea of what's possible, what the state of the art is, etc.

Likewise, I would also expect people to have basic knowledge of sales and marketing. If you're in a meeting and people are talking about ROI and CPM and specific strategy, I would expect the other people in the meeting to have a basic understanding of what those terms mean, how they impact the business and peoples' ability to meet their goals, etc. People don't need to be experts, or even journeymen, but ... the opposite, where people think they shouldn't have to have even a basic grasp of the fundamentals of the technology their tech company is built on... that's a bit odd. Where that line is drawn may be up for debate, but some understanding can't hurt.

In a car company, if a marketing person started making wild technologically impossible things about what the car could actually do... alarm bells would be ringing. I don't think there should be that large a divide in any company, really.
Having been on a school board I can tell you that it’s the Gadgrind administrators and parents who are pushing that. I would love to have the kids receive an exciting and inspiring introduction to maths and the sciences (and for that matter language and civics) but many of the teachers (not a majority, but significant minority) aren’t into it and the loudest parents certainly aren’t either. Instead the kids get rote prep aimed at where the puck is now.
Impossible. I was told there would be equality.
That's great, and I wish you well getting it to release. It's just that HN threads need to have something substantial to go on, such as an initial release, in order to have a solid discussion.

Not sure I follow. In a government, the primary need is that the people feel free, feel like they're not being ordered around by a dictator, that they can have fun or do what they want or set their own rules. Any rigid structure of governance that is focused on anything else will eventually fail. The constitution is a list of things the government can't do.

The code signing system on iOS doesn't let you dynamically add code to your app. I am also very curious about what "it is a downloader" means - if the architecture of WhatsApp means that it has a built in; externally accessible / triggerable, network capable scripting engine then that is really, really bad. I would be really worried about that app if it is true.

[added] The report writer may not have chosen the best way to phrase this. What it might mean is that the investigators believe that the "malicious" payload that compromises WhatsApp is in that part of the message, not in the video. As they weren't able to get that piece, they weren't able work out how the exploit worked.
You mean a non sequitur.

I wrote something similar ~25 years ago, when Win32 first appeared, and still use it today on the (relatively rare) occasion that I need to debug something that uses floating-point.

One interesting thing you'll notice about IEEE754 is that the values sort naturally if you interpret them as sign-magnitude integers:

00000000 0
00000001 1.4e-45 (smallest representable positive value)
00000002 2.8e-45 (next-smallest representable positive value)
007fffff 1.1754942e-38
00800000 1.17549435e-38
3f000000 0.5
3f800000 1.
3fffffff 1.9999999
40000000 2.
40400000 3.
60000000 3.6893488e19
7f000000 1.7014118e38
7f7fffff 3.4028235e38 (largest finite value)
7f800000 Infinity
7f800001 first NaN
7fffffff last NaN

In other words, if you count up in floats, it starts at 0 and goes up by increasingly larger amounts, then the number right "after" the "largest" is Infinity, followed by all the NaNs to the end of the range. The negative side is a "mirror image", the only difference being the highest (sign) bit is set.

Congrats on your KB article. ;)

Looking at the dates again, records I was part of was probably before this date. I believe I was gone by 2005. That may also be around the time the Tucson location moved from the IBM campus to the Convergy's buildings. I declined when they asked me if I was going to make the move.

I got there right after Convergy's took over from Keane. The training at that time was still really good. Tony Agee and John Mott were legends (unsure of spelling.) I credit this time with my beginnings in tech and learning how to think for troubleshooting. They taught linear, logical troubleshooting which was so simple and yet I still don't see much of it today. It was also a place to develop my search skills. It's incredibly valuable to be able to sift through a load of technical discussions and separate the signal from the noise.
Wait... these numbers doesn't make sense!

# of software dev jobs per US gov: 1,365,500 [1]

Assuming 30% people are dev, still this would mean ~10% chance that given person with software dev job is in big tech. So sports comparison doesn't sound sound.

Unexpected Lessons from 100% Test Coverage
For reasons pointed out by another reply to your comment, it's difficult to quantify. Anecdotally, I live in newer construction in a suburb of Seattle. At first the neighborhood was populated by local people who live and work here. As the original buyers have been moving out of the neighborhood over the past 5 years, the buyers of literally all been foreign Chinese. All of the houses surrounding mine are now occupied maybe 50% of the time, and I see luxury cars with Chinese license plates parked in front of these houses all the time.

Not necessarily. Much of the extra size is to increase the crumple volume. Those crumple volumes absorb energy in a crash, which benefits all involved in the crash. Raw weight on the other hand is an entirely different matter.
I somewhat disagree with this, you can't solve a human problem with something technical. Even with free accounts (which are ill advised and have been done before).

Every other FB competitor entered the market with a hook that focused on being human (and appealing, a lot of times, to our vanity). Think Instagram, SnapChat and now TikTok. It's a lot harder than simply having better features, and without the user's friends.
usually investment expenditures can be tax deducted, so your landlord is also using this expense as a way to lower his tax rate. It's effectively transferring income tax into capital gains tax (which presumably is lower and more efficient).

By making the rent slightly lower, the landlord is sure to get a renter to cover most of the costs. But if the economic situation declines (or interest rates rises), he can just bump up the rent to cover the increase.
