Maybe it's fine to exclude people allergic to dogs?

Maybe it's fine to exclude people with other health conditions as well?
Model S and Model X are definitely higher end cars.
Once you remove the hype factor, Model 3 is comparable to Honda or Volkswagen.
It doesn't come as a shock but more of a sigh - there's always one. 90% of devs I know use macs. Of them, basically 100% use homebrew. So for 90% of developers, installing crystal is as easy as I said. So the criticism that it's hard to install is, for the most part, invalid.

Of course the build-everything-from-scratch gentoo linux crowd is going to have a harder time but isn't that part of the masochistic appeal?
Gonna chime in here, have a weak materials engineering background.

The material economics go wild if you try to solve for stability of perovskite. You really don't know how much this thing is going to cost.

With perovskite, from what I remember, you get the nice efficiencies with lead based perovskites.

This increases the price of electricity as you layer it on top and you get an extra 2% efficiency.
Crazy to see MS as platinum sponsor.
In the US, you would technically be allowed to request a dog-free environment as a "reasonable accommodation" under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Practically speaking, I'm not sure how that would go, especially if your allergy is so severe that lingering pet dander could trigger it, even after Fido was banished.

I'm also not sure how that would interact with an employee who requires a service dog as a disability accommodation. I've asked about this as a hypothetical before, but never really gotten a good answer.
I cancelled my subscription in 2018 via e-mail.
When big companies do, it's understandable - they know they can get away with it and they often do. But what makes these beloved and trusted folks commit such actions? (I've never used TB, but had heard so many good stories about them and had put them in my mind into that category of companies that almost send a handwritten note to their first 100 users, etc.)

Are we (users) perhaps partly to blame? Maybe we do let them get away and they know that? How many people are really going to delete their profile now? (instead of just opting out) Perhaps we should be more principled in our response to such things? Imagine they lose 90% of their user base because of this idiocy. May be that'd serve as a broader lesson of real ethics?

I remember well when Quora forced me to install their app on mobile (not just a reminder pop-up, they blocked the page fully) - I sweared to never use them ever again. I kept my promise for a year or so, and then somehow went back to reading it later; so I am guilty myself of not being principled. But these sort of decisions really really puzzle me.
You can find at least one person who is deathly allergic to anything. If I’m deathly allergic to carpets, that means no office in the world is allowed to have carpets?
By reading the title, I thought that was the deal. It would have been amazing to me.

Disappointed after reading the article. TLDR : they cancel your subscription after 1 year of inactivity
If you’re playing defense you’ve already lost. Listen to your customers.
No problem. It is a great book.

Definitely check out Edwards' book I mentioned above as well. It is a gem of a book. Although it doesn't use matrices and instead uses linear expansions, it is still brilliant. The first three chapters give an exposition of the theory, and then the next three go back and prove things. So if anything, take a look at the first three chapters and then the later ones on applications and extensions. It also has a geometrical viewpoint.
Working in this industry I can tell you that it can be in your interest to buy either damage waivers or supplemental insurance. Especially when you are renting larger vehicles. People often don’t realize how much it costs to repair a panel truck. At the very least review your insurance policy to make sure it covers non owned autos. It really sucks when a customer finds out after the fact that their insurance is not going to cover their accident.

According to a professor at University of Texas, "It would take about a 1kW laser to boil through someone’s eye to their brain in a reasonable amount of time." This laser is 150-kilowatts.

the curious thing about such flags is that they are obvious in retrospect but somewhat imperceptible when you needed to notice them
If "recycling details" can be figured out later, then the same argument can be used to justify a massive investment in nuclear power, ie. 4th generation reactor, LFTR, you name it. It would generate more energy over its lifetime than PV ever would.
This is not my project, just something I found while looking for similar alternatives. I agree with your points though!
This is no different anywhere else, the company just says "at the end of whatever term we've committed to, eg 3m, we want to pay you less. Take it or leave it".

Same as of they were giving you a raise, the terms can change.
Because they are pivoting which is a nice way of saying failing.

Now if this blows up there is an even bigger target on Ammon's back and he may be panicking. That or he is a scumbag. Could be both.

Google does this, but then changes only things that are not against its current politics.
I guess the work contract also said that the Facebook employee has to show up for X hours per week at Facebook HQ to fulfill their duties. In other words: the permanent home office arrangement requires a new work contract anyway.
What happens when an existing employee has an ADA-approved service dog?

Do they fire that person so the allergic new hire can come to work? Do they alternate weeks and deep-clean the office during the weekends?
Regardless of how you feel about dogs (I love them and would be thrilled if I worked in an office with one or more dogs), no reasonable office dog policy would allow an animal that attacks people. That's just wrong.
My biggest peeve is that everyone dresses the same and I know I'm an outlier but it would be super helpful to be able to identify people's rank based on their outfits but I guess this isn't the army, huh?

Edit: by dress I mean the older sense of the word: The older sense survives in military dress ranks "align columns of troops."

We've gone so anti-corporate that we don't even know who the leadership is any more it's a rotten proposition that serves the worst of both worlds
Just the fact that someone used your service is a signal for their current employers, it might be used against employees during lay-off rounds as interpreting it that they are 'on the market'. In the current employment climate that is super dangerous. I strongly urge you to reconsider this re-use of data, especially for EU citizens where all use other than the one for which the data is gathered is illegal. See also: GDPR, specifity as well as the section on mandatory opt-in for future use.

Note that you are opening yourself up to major legal and financial liabilities, besides the obvious personal ramifications, ie: you're on the record as a sleaze unless you handle this with velvet gloves from here on in.

Not sure what you mean by short circuit.

I had no idea about those VBA features. Will read about them.

Having the bit ops themselves is a very strong feature.

My simple assembler would definitely been faster and simpler with them. Graphics, some math, all benefit. People would make little language extensions or callable machine language routines to make the bit ops available.

In basics with bit ops, and the -1 as true:

X = 100 & (y = 5)

Atari

X = 100 * (y = 5)

Not doing the multiply seems like a net gain in a limited CPU too. That basic did not really have types, like MS basic did. Pretty much floating point only.

Interestingly, basics that have the bit ops do not always allow the expressions in a goto. Or, could just be my own memory, or lack of trying. Not really needed.

In fact, outside of trying to optimize, or just explore the language, the only case that made real sense was a sort of jump table making good use of line numbers like one would do with memory addresses in assembly.

Say, branching directly on a checked or masked character value.

And the spiffy thing was making pseudo labels. Put line numbers into variables and use them like labels.

Foo = 1000

Goto Foo

Overall though, it was a weird little basic. It nicely supported the machine, and the device independent I/O system in the OS ROM, but was slow otherwise.

This guy has actually made an N: driver meaning Atari Basic programs written long ago can operate across the Internet today.

Lol, cool old stuff.

It's a pretty strong indicator, the best companies I've worked for were really good at welcoming me. The worst were awful.
I also think this shows a few red flags of the author. Definitely not a team player, runs from boring stuff (instead of challenging it or trying to fix it), and then hides in a corner a few days instead of actually talking to the manager (who thought the person was busy a few days with the onboarding, so naturally didn't show them a desk yet).
9 months. I've been somewhere where it took 9 months before I realized that my bossy colleague was not my boss and another person was! Amazingly it was a profitable small business that had happy customers and employees.

This reminded me to cancel my cable subscription, I only had it for the EPL and F1 and they did not make any concessions for the fact they are not playing live sports. I also put my mobile plan to cheapest possible because where I am (Singapore) I can't really leave my place for past 2 months
The Honda full-size equivalent is in the Acura lineup in the US. I don't think I have ever seen an Acura at a car rental place though.

One time I had the option in the lot between a Malibu and Impala, and figuring out which one was "better" in person was pretty tough. The overall length difference per Chevy is 7 inches, which seemed largely irrelevant in person. I guess if it all went to the back seat leg room then you have a distinction for a certain market.

For reference, Sonic can be up to 35 inches shorter than a Malibu (depending on style).
I can appreciate that it's an exciting opportunity for your business, but your failure to read the room here seems spectacular. My jaw dropped at each of your responses failing to understand why people were concerned and react appropriately. Hopefully there's something in the explanation of new functionality that's been missed and it's a misunderstanding?!
Mention of Stockholm Syndrome, in the article, is the key.

Current customers are self-selected as willing to endure any degree of degradation, provided it is arrived at via sufficiently small steps.

Apple is fully equipped and enabled to provide well-above-average quality products and admirable service by the high premium they charge, but instead they pocket the difference, every time. Customers are left with the dubious benefit of price-signaling, which is increasingly shading into sucker-signaling.

I get that, looking only at Microsoft, it is hard to imagine stepping down. But that was never the only alternative.
"CEO". "These people". Fortunately I have questions in my developer interviews that filter out the snarky techier-than-thou types in favour of those who actually take an interest in the business whose success their tech skills are supposed to be supporting.
I'd like StarLink (or something else like it!) to succeed increase internet adoption massively around the planet.
Of course the labour market is rigged. It's a power struggle.

Facebook will only pay what they have to. You'll take the best offer you can get - there or elsewhere. That's how it works isn't it?

If you're in the gig economy the employer has the power since they have plenty of alternatives to go for. If you're in the talent economy then the employer either takes your price or doesn't do the thing they want to do and you go to one of the other people after your services.

And that's the difference. Workers tend not to have a a 'no deal, I'll not bother option'. Because if they do that eventually they starve. The lower down the tree they are the quicker they starve.

I think it was Beveridge that pointed this out originally. Essentially companies only hire when there is a chance of a profit, whereas workers have to get hired or they starve. That's the asymmetry of power which Beveridge hoped to correct by ensuring there were always more jobs on offer than people who wanted them.

Right at the moment Facebook knows you don't have too many alternatives - given the state of the economy. Zuckerberg is taking advantage of that to reduce his costs while still appearing to be magnanimous.

Welcome to the gig economy.
There's libs and then there's the left. The interests if libs never have been aligned with the left, even though a lot of air is pushed around saying otherwise.
Except for summer fire season in California where we get multi day power cuts when it’s warm and windy.
Back in the early 90s I worked for a small company that had a Boxer dog. She liked to sit right behind my chair, which had two problems. First I had to remember that she was back there. Second, whenever anybody came to the front door of the building (postman, courier, etc.) she’d explode into furious barking, which would make me jump and set my heart hammering, especially if - against the odds - I had achieved deep focus. I used to say that she was taking years off my life.
Part of the onboarding process typically involves going through various HR paperwork (tax forms, benefit selections, etc.) with either the Head of HR if you are lucky or the most 'shit upon' HR staff member if you are unlucky. Most people make it past this hurdle by recalling the $ amount on their offer letter.
Problem is they're out of stock everyone since the pandemic.
You can't even permanently opt-out of "seeking opportunities". Be careful with that account. Could get you in some trouble depending on employer.
They recently bought Citus and they host pg on Azure.
It's like sending a picture of your neighbor's garden to the police, "asking for clarification" about what is permitted.

You can do that, but at least call it what it is.
This was a revelation sometimes back and it was Amex (relatively new in India) but I am sure it would be same for any credit card issuer. I had a VPS in Europe that I had emailed the support to cancel about a year ago and they had replied telling me I could do it myself (listed the steps) or they'd need another confirmation from me to go ahead and cancel. I forgot about it.

Got charged some 40 Euro a year later. I was shocked. My first thought was a compromised card. But immediately afterwards I received invoice from VPS provider. I called the bank and asked them how did that happen. They said it's possible. Lucky for me the provider immediately reversed the charge.

The thing is I had cancelled that Amex card almost a year before that charge had happened. It was still charged! I was baffled. Coming from a country where literally every credit card payment has to be authorised via an OTP or password (since as long as I can remember) it was a whole new world for me.

Well, that cancelled card was charged again (almost a year after I had the last experience) when I shopped at AliExpress and forgot to switch to a new card while making the payment. This time I just paid the bill and went around Internet removing that cancelled card.
That was not concluded.
You lost me at "anonymous." I treat every single one of those stupid surveys as if everyone in the whole company was watching me fill it out. I never leave free response comments, because I don't want to be identified by my words. Maybe it's paranoid, but it's worked for me so far. And, yes, if other people think the same as me, then it's surely biased the data a bit, as well.
> Really sorry that you think this is awful.

Classic non-apology apology. You should not be sorry that he thinks it is awful, you should be sorry that it is awful.

Nobody cares about how much work you put into what amounts to an illegal disclosure of personal data.

This is all exactly right. Taking issue with global trade has been called “nationalist” and taking issue with global labor is called “racist”. It’s the dirtiest political trick in my lifetime.

I started using privacy.com for this reason. You can spin up a separate card number for each transaction type with its own limit (e.g. $100/month or $200). You can also just turn them off at will.
I feel everything you say, and still don't see a better alternative. They're just too good at the hardware and integration.
This doesn't actually follow. Assume that there is a wide degree of variation in what people value "living in San Francisco" at. Some people value it at a million dollars a year, others value it negatively (ie. they'd prefer, all else equal, to live in Kansas). Both of these people probably exist in the real world.

If it costs N$ to purchase one developer in Kansas, and $2N to purchase on developer in SF, if there are enough developers in Kansas to satisfy the demand, then yes the price drops to $N. But if in fact the demand is higher than the supply Kansas can provide, then Facebook will buy out Kansas, and get its remaining supply from SF.

The average price of developers goes down, yes, but you get a form of price discrimination since those in SF value the city at more than the increase in relative salary from leaving.

The Kansas developers could increase their cost to compensate, sure, but you run into a few issues, while the market is supply-limited otherwise this wouldn't be an issue, if Kansas devs cost the same as SF devs, FB might just revert to its old practice and leave the Kansas devs back jobless.

You can sort of think of this as high CoL cities having a monopoly effect on pricing. "Normally" the market would fix this, but people are attracted to cities for lifestyle perks that can't be made up with equivalent $$. In other words, the city has an absolute advantage in city-lifestyle, so others can't compete on price to people who want city-lifestyle. In other words, for the person who enjoys living in SF, you'd have to offer them more to work in Kansas than to work in SF. As long as enough of those people exist, the market won't equalize. The normal econ-101 kind of understanding of supply and demand doesn't work, because you have, in essence, one consumer who wishes to purchase from two different markets with different market prices. City-livers and non-city-livers.
Sony is selling them with little to no profit as they expect to earn on games. Guess why their capabale and cheap hardware is locked down to avoid using it for anything except playing bought games ;)

Anyway you can jailbreak ps4 to 5.0.5 firmware and there are unpublished exploits in existence that are waiting for ps5 to be released.
HR honestly have no business getting involved in hirering or onboarding. Most people working in HR aren’t qualified for it. HR should be limited to gathering enough info to ensure that you’re being paid and perhaps managing how much vacation you have left. It’s a service organisation.

I had one HR drone complain about developers being bad at logging time. We told her that the system sucked and made it to hard to correctly enter your hours. She the proceede to demo how easy it was by entering her hours for the week. Basically: HR stuff = 37 hours. She had no clue that the average developer had more tasks during one day, each requirering it’s code, that she had during a full month. HR, especially in large companies, are clueless about the actual work being done.

Personally I no longer participate in personality test. If one is required during the interview process I decline and leave. It always HR that require the test, never the people you’d actually work for.

For onboard: The people I’ve onboarded for different companies all get the first day to settle in, setup their computer, find the coffeemaker and just look around. Day two you get a real assignment, ideally something you can fix and have in production before four o’clock. After that it’s just progressively harder tasks until you can manage on your own.
I agree here. It's really exciting to have a platform where the friction of releases is totally removed. I'm excited to see where they end up with this product.
A note that wim hof is actually an adaptation of a buddhist practice. Pilates is also a crossover between gym and yoga in the early 20th century.

Mindfulness is also a central tenet in buddhism and yoga.

For at least two thousand years buddhism and yoga had this cross pollination when it came to breathing techniques, mindfulness and meditation.
I don't understand how one can make such broad stroke judgements about tens of thousands of engineers, their opinions, their morality and their political affiliations all at once.

What's even more amazing is these engineers that live in the bay area, many of them are from diverse backgrounds around the world, not just the US. I have no idea how one can bundle all that up with one generalization. Must feel good to think you're looking down from a higher horse.
> Apple hasn’t shipped a 32 bit Mac since 2006.

So, they could easily have given developers a roadmap/timeline of 13 years saying "in 2020 we're going to deprecate 32bit software, please upgrade". Instead, they gave everyone less than two years.

In comparison, the switch from PowerPC to Intel took over four years. And this was at the time when MacOS had significantly less software available on it. Apple themselves released the last version of software that supported PowerPCs 7 years after the announcement of the transition.
In the UK a Model 3 is priced like a BMW. A typical Honda or Volkswagen is a lot cheaper.

How does this even happen? I'm just curious here. Don't you check your bills? I find it hard to imagine I would miss a recurring payment on my credit card receipt.
If that’s the issue why not form American nation like companies or something of the sorts? Or Americano-European conglomerates? Competition could be a good thing at the end of the day..
He/she added an artificial network latency/delay into the config, just like they describe. That is the reason for the delay. It is made artificially long on purpose.
I need an ergo keyboard to avoid RSI. The first one I tried was this monster $300 Kinesis Advantage keyboard, which I picked because it was the most highly rated one on Amazon, it looked cool, and I thought it would solve my problem. It did not. I could barely type letters on it, and some of the common programming characters, like [{}] were in the "wrong" spot relative to where my fingers thought they should be.

I sent that bad boy back in under a week and settled on the MS Ergo Sculpt. It has a standard layout that works great for me, and I credit it with keeping me in the industry for the past 3 years, and, hopefully, far beyond.
