If you're referring to social media platforms when you say "treat them like they're cigarettes" just remember you're smoking a pack right now.
You're asking questions which nobody should care about, which goes to show how effective it is to make weird pointless statements like the ones Zuckerburg is making. Placing Facebook in a category is a pointless exercise.

The questions that matter are:

1. How is Facebook harming people?

2. How can we stop Facebook from harming people?
Part of the reason is the Ganges & YangTse river deltas are the most fertile on Earth. While other regions typically yield 2 crops a year, these deltas average 3 to 4.

Also, the climate is relatively moderate with no major high frequency calamities (like earthquakes and hurricanes).
And the odds are good that even that could be scaled up further for a laptop-class part. The iPad Pro is a passively cooled device which is expected to always run on battery power, after all; a laptop would have larger batteries and more thermal margin.

Not that it'd even have to be scaled up by much. The A13 (iPhone 11) already performs comparably to many Intel mobile parts; an -X variant (future iPad Pro) would surely improve upon that.
> If it doesn't have any absolutely positioned or floating child elements, wouldn't that imply contain: content?

I think the goal is to avoid analyzing child elements at all. So you can layout a given set of children at one layer of the DOM tree at once rather than having to dig deeper into one node to know where to put its sibling.

> And if you add overflow: auto or hidden, wouldn't that infer to contain: strict?

I think browsers would only be able to reasonable infer "contain: strict" on elements with both overflow auto/hidden and fixed width/height.

I'm guessing that "contain: strict" would allow you to avoid defining fixed height and width then? (That was just my first guess. There may be other reasons.)

> Incompetent managers get promoted because the things they are competent at are not the things their employees want them to be competent at.

Employers don't have other option. What happens is the people who love coding don't want to be managers and the people who want don't want to code or suck at coding take up manager positions. The problem arises when these managers have to promote. They choose the lesser capable guy who is not a threat to their job. This is what i have seen in software industry.
For those for whom an understanding could be reached, no explanation is needed. For those with whom an understanding would not be able to be reached, no explanation will suffice.

There seem to be some that feel that because they use software that is Open Source, it is "theirs". There's no way to help somebody get over the loss of ownership of something they didn't actually posses.
> California revenue is volatile because of the heavy reliance on income taxes, which are volatile due to the stock market. Property taxes are a much more stable source of revenue to rely upon.

If that's true, and more of the education budget is funded from property taxes, then how can the following be true:

> Backing out prop 13 to fund certain ventures is just going to create even more problems down the road. Revenue will still be volatile. Then in the next downturn education will get screwed again, like what happened in the last recession.

A recession will hit everything, but if property tax revenues are earmarked for education, its funding should be less volatile than more income tax dependent programs.

Comparing PNG compression ratios (2015)
The biggest bottleneck in the JS ecosystem is the minified, and that is already kind of decoupled from the other tools. Webpack plays with Terser pretty closely, but it's not particularly hard to do the minification as a separate step, or even write a Webpack plugin to replace the existing ones.

On large builds, minification is often as much as 80%+ of the build time, sometimes even if you include the unit tests! Most projects aren't particularly opinionated about their minification solution, either, so you can just swap it in. That makes it a very good place to start.

For development where minification isn't needed, Webpack is still slow, but it doesn't matter nearly as much. Even very large projects rebuild fairly quickly in dev server mode (assuming they're setup right), and if Webpack 5's persistent cache delivers, startup shouldn't be too bad either. It would still be great if the community made changes as you suggest to speed things up, but minification is really where efforts should start, IMO.

If it's below what you would accept, there just wasn't a deal to be had. Everyone's time is saved. However, a manager's "no negotiation" policy deprives investors of growth. It's irresponsible.

Of course, if you are at some crappy, hollowed out and debt laden behemoth solving for cost optimization instead of growth, then it's already a race to the bottom and it doesn't matter.

Not that disagreement matters since he points out at the end that these are guidelines and not rules, but I particularly disagree on Freemium and answering services.

The first one not only because the idea I'm working on can't possibly work without a free tier, but also because I use the free tiers of many services; I'd feel better about myself by "giving back" so to say.

And the second one simply because I see those services as hassles themselves, though I might eventually change my mind on that.

This is so cynical to support regulation of small starting up companies and huge international corporations by the same laws, ignoring the scale. Only 1 company of 100 actually survive to become profitable. No wonder corporatism "wins" around the world. Though usually it's ignorance, in case of Sweden what they do to small business seems to be done intentionally.

The magnetic field is to shift the energy levels of the nuclear spin states. The transition energy is proportional to the applied field, and the wavelength of the RF field used for imaging is inversely proportional to the energy. So a stronger field gives a smaller wavelength and thus higher resolution.
I noticed a strange issue with GIMP libheif plug-in - some of the converted images look a little washed out (any such noticeable colour change is ofcourse, unacceptable). But macOS Preview converts them perfectly without any such colour difference. I suspect libheif to be buggy.

I was a very happy GSuite customer for a short while a year ago. With my own domain set up, the experience was more like what it was like working inside Google (e.g., one search overall of your data). Then I discovered that I could not merge in my stuff from my 15 year old free gmail account which I had used to purchase a lot of books, movies, and tv shows like The Expanse. Having two Google identities was a nuisance. Google should have the option of freezing a free account and then transferring all your stuff into the paid account. Anyway, I quit the paid for service, which was a shame since there were so many things I liked about it.

I worked on a mobile web browser what seems like ages ago. The previous maintainer was recalculating the layout on every scroll operation, and then rendering the entire thing. It was, uh, slow.

The first thing I did was rip out the layout engine and give everything on the page extents at load time. Eventually, scrolling involved finding the range that fell within the viewport and rendering that. That seemed like what any video game designer would do for a side scroller. I just turned it 90°. Ended up about as fast as Openwave and much smaller.

This article sounds as if CSS3 browsers don’t or can’t do that. I find that quite surprising. Unless we’re using a different definition of render (I still had to lay everything out).

I don't really like the premise of the article. It seems to revolve around "how Wikipedia remains so information-rich and useful when the rest of the internet (in his view) is filled with divisive, corrosive misinformation." I think Wikipedia has a lot of problems, and coming at it from a perspective of "how can we repeat Wikipedia's success" cuts us off from talking about a lot of topics that are important.

The first examples I could remember off the top of my head:

It was kind of neat.

There's also this[1] study about cancer and debt in the US.

Insurance isn't equal to insurance. The car insurances in the US are the most comfortable in the world. Something happens, you're covered, the insurance pays. Not so in other parts of the world. You drive out of the parking lot scratch another car? It's considered normal in the US. Not so in Germany. You scratch someones car by accident? Anything is possible now.

Why compare apples and bananas? I had a surgery in Taiwan and worked in Healthcare in a couple of countries. I also had health insurance when I was working in the US and got hit by a car while on a bike.

And while the insurance and the other drivers car insurance paid for most, man you sure have to be careful that someone can tell the emergency not to take you to the wrong hospital.

Let's stop pretending there isn't something seriously wrong with the US healthcare system. If all stars align everything is fine, but just an MRI can take anything from 1000 to 2000 or more dollars depending on whether you have insurance or not. You don't have to pay the 2000 dollars if you know better, but it's basically like a bazaar where you have to bargain if your insurance hasn't done so already.

Germany was at that point in the 1920s(or sometime around that) actually. I'm not a fan of Germanies healthcare system, especially since it's such a huge chunk of an already low income, but all the issues you describe about other countries are mostly non issues in Germany.

Generally, Rust "should" be faster, because it spends a lot of time on optimizations that Go doesn't do. That's what you're paying for in compile times. If Go is faster on some CPU bound workload despite doing a lot less optimization, that's interesting. (I should note that this is not the norm.)
In many groups, that's not how it works - you either join up on Facebook, or all dice are off the table.

Dear lord this is depressing to read. My personal annecdote here that's probably not a big contribution, but this puts a label so well on the product organization I just left on a large project @ a fortune 50 company.

What's really bad is that the much larger R&D organization (who is I now know to label a feature factory), absorbed our smaller highly productive team that essentially did everything opposite to this. The things we thought we were good at were suddenly the huge flaws of our team - flaws that lead to a number of us leaving to get away from the huge amount of process that got laid on us.

It's literally among the first words of the spec: MTA-STS was designed because providers don't want to use DNSSEC. Those aren't tea leaves I'm reading; they actually wrote it in the spec.

I don't know what this "centralization" argument is. One of the biggest centralizers on the Internet, Cloud Flare, is the only proponent of DNSSEC among the tech companies (DNSSEC is a tool for centralization; it's difficult and expensive to manage, so people will pay to have Cloud Flare do it for them, and Cloud Flare knows that).

"An example of an alternative that is appropriate for a lot of web companies (for example Google, Amazon and Booking) is an A/B test culture. Release features as A/B tests with transparent metrics. Share the metrics with everyone who is part of the decision INCLUDING devs. Proceed with general rollout of the features that actually produce positive results and rollback of the ones that don't."

If this is the process Google follows, how do its products (e.g Gmail) get worse over time? (genuine question, not snark). Are some things (e.g loading speed) not measured? Perhaps the things measured ('time spent 'in app' ') don't measure customer satisfaction?

lonelappde is right. All bank accounts in India must(?) have a registered phone number associated with them. This was primarily done to ensure SMS transactional alerts, but has escalated to all sorts of usecases now (including the enforced regulated way of doing 2FA).
Yes, emergency situations are different. Not much of a chance to wait and shop around.
Reducing the emphasis on thinking out-loud every single one of your thoughts might have helped. I'm not the type of person who can verbalize everything and moreover, it's too slow and prone to errors. Perhaps I should have fought back and asked for the interviewer to be quiet and also let me be quiet for a while.

Also, the absolute requirement that any of your workings should be done only on the shared Google doc seems like an overkill. There are a lot of times when I wanted to quickly note down / draw something on the notebook I had but couldn't.

For a few years there we talked and talked about how GDP can’t continue to grow forever. Or at least not as long as we are a single planet civilization. Higher growth means higher consumption until everything is gone.

Just as other tech has delayed Peak Oil for decades by finding more, and using what we find more efficiently, I think virtual goods should be able to reduce the resource burden of goods and services. Whether that has happened I am not equipped to say.

How does MRI compare to other techniques (e.g. CAT scans) for general diagnostics? Does it make sense to be used as a more routine diagnostics tool if there are many more machines available?

In the US there are 37 MRI machines per million population, even in other relatively rich countries like France this is much lower at 14 per million population [0]. Is it just the cost of the machines, or are there drawbacks that limit their use as general purpose diagnostics tools?

> May be a global consortium of companies which say that countries that deny free internet access will not get access to those companies? That could go either way, though.

This is a joke right ? Google and Twitter's Orwellian 'silent' censorship has been going on for the past year without the slightest whimper from the people on 'their side'. In India too, Twitter has unabashedly been in favor of the Islamofascists; the supposed 'minorities' whose tyrannical rule nearly destroyed the civilization.

State censorship is dangerous, but censorship by global monopolies, unanswerable to the public is much much worse.

Time off is not free and is not given by the government. Even if it's unpaid it's a tax on employers as it costs money to hold job open, loses efficiencies, and required training and transition costs. Even if direct competition is ruled out the employer is assisting with having a valued employee leave. Employers are subsidizing these startups and leaves but politicians take the credit.

> companies are more afraid of hiring bad candidates than they are excited about the opportunity to hire a great candidate

Pretty much - they're willing to reject 100 good candidates in order to avoid hiring one bad one by mistake.

It's also a feedback system/arms race (like college admissions, conference paper submissions, etc..) The lower the acceptance rate, the more places you have to apply. This raises the number of applicants for each position, which in turn lowers the acceptance rate even further. This continues until you reach the maximum number of applications that each candidate can produce. Needless to say, the quality of evaluation is inversely proportional to the number of candidates, so acceptance becomes arbitrary and random.
If there is development work happening, then there is a tech industry. Perhaps you may consider a tech industry to only exist if it is spawning a million startups a day but that is not a view shared by the rest of the world. See: http://elitebusinessmagazine.co.uk/global/item/how-the-tech-...
