It's made by humans. With formal, classic training in plastic arts. By hand. Without Adobe tech. Using only pen, ink, charcoal, and paint

Sometimes looking at 1920-30s High Modernist design, it suggests that "new dawn" in human affairs, the sort of confidence people used to have in science triumphing over superstition ;)
Microsoft was not "early" on cloud, and came back into relevance (perhaps more than Google, really, in this one case). The early bird (Friendster, Commodore Computing, VisiCalc) does not always get the worm.
Yes. In theory, 4 way stops follow some simple rules -- whoever gets there first and makes a full stop goes first, and if more than one party makes a full stop at the same time, the party on the right goes first.

In practice we live in a world of (very illegal) rolling stops, people beckoning at each other to go first, people inching forward, etc.

That's not even considering some very stupidly designed four-way stops here in Illinois with two lanes on each side -- how the heck is one supposed to even figure these things out? It ends up being a game of chicken.
The fact that those companies basically print money?

And the internal competition between themselves (that wasn't always there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L... )
No, you're not alone. I don't hold out a great deal of hope for the future, either, since the roadmap looks like it's being handled on UserVoice and the top-voted features are mostly "duplicate existing Office functionality instead of fixing basic features (like search) that are actually broken."

What I think this underestimates is the exponential nature of big wins.

If you make a lot of shots, you'll get some successes, and this can be a reliable path to some good outcomes in life. But founding a billion-dollar company or beating the market for a decade means making a lot of shots in a row. It's not enough to succeed at a high-risk, high-reward gamble, you have to either take impossible odds or keep putting all your winnings back into the next wager. (Less abstractly: landing funding for your company, selling the product, escaping fatal competition, refusing the buyout, and so on.)

That doesn't make "take a lot of shots" untrue advice, obviously that still improves your odds, but it has two major implications. First, taking more shots may be less effective than improving your odds or raising your wager so you don't need as many wins. Second, there's no guarantee that an individual can ever have a reasonable expectation of winning big. It seems possible that the only strategy capable of making you Bezos-level rich doesn't pay out decently inside one lifetime.
Monopoly market leadership in their respective fields, which translates to high gross margin, which leads to a ton of cash on hand. Conversely, being market leaders, they are solving some really hard problems related to scale and attract good engineers.
I'd argue that CBS can't, but they didn't really use the Star Trek formula for Picard. The Orville has definitely shown us it's the ideas which are cherished, not the IP.
If you use a function like this, it will need to be run for every entry; doesn't that invalidate the whole point of having indexes ?

What you can do is storing the unaccented, simplified version of a word. Which I'm sure pg already does in a way.
Which sensor has primacy? radar, lidar or camera?

I recall it mentioned somewhere that, after a well publicized tragedy hitting the side of a white truck on a bright day, Tesla was moving to radar?

And yet a lot of the cues this awesome video shows seems to be camera-based line detection etc?
It's not great. However, I heard something hopeful in the latest episode of the Swift Unwrapped podcast. It was mentioned how the person working on the Windows build has recently been employed by Apple.

I'll soon be graduating from the University of Texas at Austin in CS. I have a few internships, i've built a few websites and apps that have gotten a number of users, and i've gotten funded for some of my projects. I work like a dog, i'm pretty smart, and I am willing to move anywhere. Thank you.
This is not true everywhere. Forward thinking dealerships recognize the truth of this article and have adjusted their revenue models accordingly.

As an example, I got to know the leadership at the DGDG dealer group in the Bay Area over the past couple of years, and they've fully embraced the notion that there's not much money to be made on the sale itself -- and the more you try to make, the more your customers dislike you.

Instead, they aim for the price you might be able to negotiate down to somewhere else, and focus on making it an extremely pleasant experience. The goal is for you to return for trade-ins, maintenance, and all other auto related transactions.
Risk premium: you could have your money in government bonds, so to entice you to put them in something riskier, you have to offer a better return. The riskier, the more people have to think it can outperform. That's not to say that this is what ends up being realised, otherwise it wouldn't be risk.

Not clear how this connects with this idea about tech salaries. Where's the uncertain outcome? Person potentially jumps to FAANG? What's the certain outcome in the analogy?
Consumer Crypto Product Ideas
It's a Javascript based redirect; block all JS on the page and it'll stop happening. Super annoying.
In Spain the bank charges you for this service (you can negotiate the amount).
There is no commision for cash, but you must fill a form to tell the taxman that you are getting a more than given amount (3000€ if I remember well)
Money is a commodity, but you don't want it to behave like one. That's where fiat currency comes in.

Inflation, or at least the threat of it, prevents hoarding. It has a realistic and useful effect on value in that it makes money decay over time.
I'm pretty sure YT forbids linking to other video platforms.
AI an agent of big tech hegemony or multi-disciplinary research and innovation?
Make something up. Say you were traveling, pursuing some art project, a startup idea, etc.
Does anyone know if there is any evidence that big tech salaries started going significantly up after this illegal agreement was ended? Intuitively it makes sense, but I am just wondering if there are any data or studies out there to prove or disprove this.
>what tech really is, in many cases, is about improving your processes, automating work, and increasing efficiencies in all sorts of businesses

I wish to nitpick this. I think tech has been used for this purpose extensively, but I'd argue "digital toy" or "ultimate writing tool" are just as valid (and slightly less depressing) statement of purpose for software.
"I am seriously surprised how long it is taking for YouTubers to realize the YouTube platform is failing them"

I don't think that is the case. For what I've seen, the discontent has been growing for years. Youtube is to video what google is to search.

Yeah. there are competitors but we all know it's a monopoly.
I don't think we will sit at our computers writing code in the same way a hundred years from now. It just feels very inefficient to me, it's a good abstraction for now but better will come, new paradigms that probably look radically different. I personally would find the opposite claim rather strange :)
Can you define what "risk premium" means here?

I can't tell if the argument here is that the market isn't competitive or something else. It's not like FAANG pays high salaries because they are generous.
Sort of. They built a video platform that they couldn't effectively moderate, so they built Content ID because they don't have the manpower to manually review everything. Content ID is just a side effect of Google relying on algorithms to do everything.
This is a case for security by default. I’ve messed around with Firebase and Firestore- my experience with auth and security was painful enough that I started to look for alternatives.

ElasticSearch and most of AWS would do well to make Security by Default more commonplace.
I thought Vimeo was aimed more at artistic videos, not stuff like reviews/blogs, most of the stuff that gets dumped on YT wouldn't be allowed on Vimeo. I see more creators making free videos then asking for Patreon donations rather than fighting the awful YTDMCA

> I think someone is going to build an amazing, fun, wacky consumer avatar platform and that is going to be of course built on crypto

When reading this sentence, I immediately lost any faith in the author's ability to understand or predict the future (the "of course" before crypto sealed the deal).

Maybe I'm the one who doesn't know better. Time will tell.
I strongly believe Facebook is missing out on becoming a cloud platform.

>Why would they need to do such a thing.

In general or this case? In general: Because it's incredibly powerful. In this case? See below.

>The defendant broke his agreement with the CIA and the Federal Government by leaking classified information.

This has yet to be proven, and the defendant claims he is innocent. An alleged leaker claiming his innocence possessing unencrypted CP is incredibly convenient for the CIA. Almost too convenient.

>falsify evidence that could torpedo an entire case

Why when the risk to the gov is basically 0%. You run a kit to plant the files and metadata. The files are then "extracted" by a forensic tool, the "evidence" is now bulletproof. The only person who could conceivably challenge such a move would be a very wealthy person who knew they were innocent and chose to hire expert witnesses to analyze the planted data to prove it was faked. Even then... good luck.
What good is his claim about WhatsApp if he has no proof?
They did? I don't remember that. What was the syntax?

Or was it that all post-Jensen-&-Wirth dialects supported conditional compilation, and I don't remember it because I was stuck on Jensen & Wirth?
These aren't DMCA claims. They're a side system set up by YouTube so it wouldn't have to handle DMCA.

Can We Have Prosperity Without Growth?
YT forbids a lot of stuff until you're a big company or one of those paul brothers
The standard explanation to this question is that Germans are risk-averse. People don't trust stocks but better want to save their money in a savings bank book. (That won't cover the whole situation, it's rather a two sentence summary)
When we started we had maybe 4 engineers going. Now it's like 12 going to the meeting. It's a bit more unwieldy but still works.

What we've talked about is basically if it continues to grow we'll need to be a lot more structured or have to splinter off into groups with a good ratio of experienced to less-experienced engineers to still maintain learning.

Marketted as "AI" lmao
If you look at the overlay, the algorithm seems extra paranoid about the following aspects: HIGH_BEAM, BLINDED, RAINING, TIRE_SPRAY, which all sound like camera weaknesses, not lidar/radar weaknesses. My guess is that this is camera-based still.

Also interesting is the vision fps of ~13. That's 75ms latency.
NFL Game Pass went down for last 5 minutes of Super Bowl
This just sounds like a limited form of Baumol's Cost Disease.
It was footage from a trailer so it's not like CBS is losing money from pirated footage. They give it away freely.
I believe this was released as part of Tesla's Autopilot hiring announcement. More details here:

Definitely someone's dream job ;) I particularly like the applicant query: "Tell us, what extraordinary work you have done?"
I'm not redirected, but I have uBlock Origin/uMatrix blocking third-party scripts which might be the source of the redirect.
Tesla's China factory is shutdown due to Coronavirus
According to your quote, CK has some APIs that depend on the enclave, but SC does not support those APIs.

It says nothing about whether any other SC APIs use the enclave behind the scenes (but I doubt it, there's not much point in bothering with the enclave if the CPU has access to the key material).
"business" is just one mode of industrial production, even in a marketplace. So, essential for business, perhaps, but hardly essential in a general sense.
No joke, I make a point of watching this video once a year.
Why does a corporation making more money result in its employees earning more? Out of the goodness of the CEO's heart? I don't believe in this trickling down. They obviously need to pay more in order to attract the top talent, but why?

iNaturalist.org does this for finding plants and animals but to be honest, I don't know how they deal with bad data. They even have schoolkids submitting data during class. So, kind of adversarial data collectors!
Google had to program their car to stop treating 4 way stops exactly as the law required, and instead pretend to be a little aggressive: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/02/technology/personaltech/g...
I echo folks in this thread who suggest being honest. In my opinion it says a lot about you and how you communicate, as well as a lot about how the org thinks about their employees. i mean, you essentially took a sabbatical (regardless of the reasons) after more than 5 years in your career. individuals may quibble about the length-before-break, but several companies have a sabbatical-like perk built into their comp plan.

Spending does't necessarily mean wasting money on short-term consumption. They could also spend on sustainability and infrastructure.
IIRC tesla still doesn't use LIDAR. Just wanted to point that out.
Ahhh, welcome to software engineering.

While partially joking this is a real issue and sadly is common in our software. Software is the way most things in life function these days, yet those of us on the inside see that software is generally poorly put together and then held together by hamstrung people because of funding or mismanagement. Some companies are better than others, but all companies need to make compromises. What I have seen is when the compromises line up with your value system (whatever that might be) then you are way happier at work daily and want to do more generally. When the compromises are anti your personal value system for too long you will dread being there or going to work. There will always be some percentage of decisions you disagree with, so I wouldn't take it as you bolt if you disagree with a few things.

I've been in software for over 20 years, and that has been the repeated process since even before I started. And even as a founder I realized this is how engineers (and most educated intelligent people) work (value system alignment) and while we can always improve, you need to find the balance that works for you. Most problems in software are problems of compromise, e.g. we hacked X feature to get Y done and now have 12 new problems to solve, but now we have Z needs and have to compromise somewhere else too. It is almost always a game of tradeoffs, and that is ok to some degree.

I love the idea that if you are not happy doing what you are doing for too many days in a row you need to change what you are doing. I usually think of that in slightly longer time periods given software schedules, but I think it is a good core idea. If you aren't happy and you feel like you have learned what you can at an opportunity then move to the next. Granted, I am not saying job hop every year, nor am I advocating taking off just cause things aren't going your way, but you have to evaluate your mental and physical health with where you are and where you are going. After 2.5-3 years seems like you have a fair reason to potentially move on if it isn't making you happy at this point.
Show HN: Etrn – Mobile App for Save Willpower
Sometimes they think they will get you in finance or in addons and if you don't let them, then yes it's possible to destroy them in relation to a normal transaction. They often get paid on incentives or other structures too so they could be getting destroyed on a single sale. Last car I bought I negotiated the price and then the finance guy came over and hadn't yet understood that I already had financing ready at a super low rate. So they thought they would get me there but I refused to let them even try to run my credit.

It's certainly possible they made no money on the sale itself for a variety of reasons.
In the context of where you store photos, videos, etc where you want to be able to use massive cheap magnetic media you would use an external hard drive. You would still boot from your internal hard drive. If you have a Fusion drive, more than likely the OS would be on SSD. If you were unfortunate enough to have the cheapest iMac with only magnetic hard drives - it would still be less of a pain and more performant to buy a small SSD external drive as a bout/app drive and an external magnetic drive running HPFS.

The solution is to hash the password once, salted, and store and use that as a plaintext equivalent instead of storing the real password. This way if the password is reused on other services and an attacker retrieves it from the store it isn’t as much of a disaster.
