FAANGs don’t pay that salary because it’s difficult work, they pay that salary because they have trouble keeping turnover down. It’s much like investment banks where the pay is great and many people really want to leave.

It’s up to you how you want to spend your life, but everyone I know is much happier after the left.
You're not alone. Many people share that view. You're right from your perspective.

Taking a step outside that view for a minute, I think part of the appeal of environmentally focused value systems is it allows you a trump card what stands above all else with moral supremacy. Once you've made a pronouncement nothing can usurp it and you don't ever need to back down. Because within that morally focused environmental value system environmental considerations trump everything else.

In short it's a way to be absolutely right which is very attractive and a lot of people subscribe to it. Standing above others is a very satisfying place to be.

Funnily enough, I think that's part of what Christo's work explores. In taking these grand monuments and covering them up he is sort of posing the question that something else can stand above them. Perhaps our projections? From that point of view I think you can consider his work as a monument to the the collective ego we put into our own pronouncements upon things. Which is pretty cool. Art can do that.

Thanks for the clarification, I was under the impression that they shared libraries like the browser engine and what not. Not sure where I got that misconception.
Have you got an actual example? I don't even need to get into the race statistics with regard to police brutality, because the charges aren't even close to settling the matter - and you know it, you've already declared them murderers.
Are support vector machines still used much or have they been supplanted by deep learning methods?

Very impressive - only sixty years after the Communists put a man into space, the private sector has managed to catch up.

> Japanese phones were WAY ahead of the West for absolutely forever.

Not really. Fun fact: In the early 1990s, the largest cellphone brand in Japan was Finnish company Nokia, and Nokia lost its edge there mostly because you could only sell phones through operators and the suppliers played dirty: for example, they refused to sell Nokia color LCD screens.

Now Japanese phones in the late 1990s were indeed the bees knees, but they were incompatible with the rest of the world (PDC/i-mode instead of GSM/WAP/GPRS), they missed the boat on 4G as well (NTT FOMA was the first out the gate, but not standard), and when the iPhone came along it was too late.

I recently started playing No Man's Sky, a space game that has systems and planets procedurally generated.

More varied spaceships and spaceship classes are something I'm looking forward too, maybe the developers can take some inspiration from OP.
Let's talk about these instances of police violence then [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. You can pick any one of them. What is the police's justification for them, other than to further confirm how much of a police state we live in.

Legislation? You don't need legislation during a declared emergency.

You don't need legislation to do anyway, you just go ahead and do it using whatever means at your disposal. The legal repercussions come later, if at ll.
Instead of starting with the Helm's Deep series, I would recommend starting with the Siege of Gondor series, which was written earlier and is a little easier to follow IMO https://acoup.blog/2019/05/10/collections-the-siege-of-gondo... It's an excellent mix of fiction, history, tactics (operations!), pop culture, and filmography. It's probably one of the best things I've ever read
Pithy answer: Apparently police do, otherwise the US wouldn't have so many deaths in custody or complaints of police brutality.

Less pithy answer: The protests, and the videos, are not examples of regular crimes or regular criminals. They're about criminal actions by police, two circles in a venn diagram that should never be crossed without black & yellow stripes and giant red "WARNING" text. It needs highlighting due to how much of an exceptional circumstance it should be.

Yes, normal people commit crimes and yes, those people should be punished harshly for them, but those normal people are not people put in positions of power over others by the state, which is why you don't see quite so many protests against them. (You do see protests about them, though: Zimmerman wasn't exactly seen in a positive light, for example.)

Asking "but what about regular Joe Criminal" in the face of protests about police is like a poor diversionary tactic. It's essentially just whataboutism.
Compared to what? Are the vast majority of airline pilot actions intentional crashes, or only a miniscule fraction?

I showed the crime rates went up after the riots because the police have stopped actively cleaning up crime. You never showed how the supporting evidence is wrong, nor why my inference was incorrect. You mainly nitpicked insignificant details. I would be genuinely interested if you can show violent riots have made life better for law abiding citizens in Baltimore.

You don't even need a DAW. When I downloaded Dexed as an audio unit for my Mac (thinking “I'll have to try this later; at the moment I don't have enough RAM free to start a DAW”), I was pleasantly surprised that it also came with a stand-alone app. The Dexed wiki says there are such apps for Windows and Linux, too.

Then I downloaded a MIDI file and used Audacity to play some of its channels into the synth. Super easy, even though I'd never used Audacity for MIDI before.

Just one thing stumped me for a minute: When you open the MIDI settings in the Dexed app, under “Active MIDI inputs” it shows a list of available buses, all with what looks like a green light next to it, as if they are indeed active. Those are actually checkboxes and they're initially off.

Serious question, why does Brex even need to exist?
Thanks, but I’ve been here a lot longer than my account age and I know how things work. Unfortunately, your behavior shows you to be a bad faith actor, and unfortunately for you a lot of the users on HN can recognize the gaslighting you’re attempting right now. Your patronizing post here really clinches it, as you yet again attempt to put me on the defensive and claim that your arguments are just honest debate on “taboo” subjects.

You are not engaging in earnest debate. You are attempting to deflect and discredit, as in this post. I’m not new to this place or these tactics.

This is incorrect. The inflation is indirect.

Asset prices for stocks, and housing, will go up.

What will happen, is the CEOs push up the stock prices. They get a nice payout in the millions of dollars. The upper management get nice bonuses, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars each, which adds up to millions in total.

Then, they start to buy things in the real world, like houses, or apartments. Or they invest in businesses that buys houses and apartments. This drives up housing costs, which drives up rental costs, which drives up the prices for everything else.

And there you have it. Inflation that eats up your paycheck.

You work hard to try to make more money on one hand, and society just takes the money out of your pocket while you’re not looking.
I did a part-time PhD there. Took ten years but I had a very supportive advisor and managed to finish it working a day a week on it. You get out of it what you put in. They have good teachers but if you do it remotely it's on you to do a lot of self directed learning, for the PhD anyways. I now work as a researcher for a large e-commerce company. As part of the program we take Masters courses in ML and AI and they were good, I learned a lot.
This seems like a really slanted explanation that largely overlooks the lead up to the events you mentioned. First, the parties have always tried to out maneuver eachother. Things like judge appointment might be departures from a specific norm but they're not a departure from the broader trend of exploring the system for pressure points that can be leveraged into comprehensive strategies. The US isn't the UK or a lot of Europe, agents of the system frequently depart from established norms because those norms are just gentleman's agreements like you said and not things important to the system like the various ways the queen routinely waives chances to exercise her various reserve powers. The concern was much more simply that being viewed as ungentlemanly could backfire but that quit mattering as much after Trump ran basically all of his 2016 campaign on the image of being a rude crude anti-Bernie who'd whip DC into shape (lots of people viewed these two as the wild card candidates for some reason even though they were very different).

And the impeachment itself was fought by many influential Democrats, including Pelosi, precisely because they knew it would fail and were concerned the loss would motivate opposition voters while damaging the 2020 turnout of Democrats who might see it as a sign that the party was still largely impotent or simply disorganized. Just because Pelosi prefers to drive the car doesn't mean she likes the destination. She was criticized often beforehand for fighting the idea of an impeachment. She probably just realized that the topic wasnt going away after all, so presenting a unified front was better a better option than letting the infighting go on damaging the party's optics. But now the impeachment is largely viewed as just another in a series of fishing expeditions (to people in states that don't reliably vote for one party or the other) and on top of that the progressives in the party are currently demoralized that their candidate is an establishment figure rather than someone more extreme like they'd been hoping for.

It arguably would have been no worse if they'd just bided their time and focused on dominating the 2020 media landscape with a flurry simultaneous actions. This could have been used to eclipse media narratives like Biden compromising #MeToo's integrity or the association between the Dems and staying locked down (Americans are rapidly developing lockdown fatigue). But instead the Dems are going into an election against an incumbant President with no compelling parries left, most vocal elements of the party exhausted, and a press that (outside historically sympathetic outlets like CNN and WaPo) has lost its original interest in party mascots like AOC who could have been useful in 2020 to motivate the youth and progressive votes following the defeats of Yang and Bernie.

Isn't this the same issue as with a website like HIBP, and other sites that appear after a data breach/leak?

Users are disclosing to the website what they hope has not been discovered by someone else -- e.g., usernames and email addresses, or in this case photos, they hoped to keep private. Unfortunately, the website is "someone else".
They’re really useful (and arguably state of the art) in situations with small amounts of data. Deep learning is really hard to productionize, so classical techniques like SVMs and random forests are widely used in production. Deep learning is too, but not as much as you’d think.

I mean, you can totally do fine as a straight CS major, and there are plenty of CS/math majors who can report successful, productive, profitable careers as a programmer in this very thread.

But there's a lot of programming to do where domain knowledge is absolute essential, and if it turns out you find one of those areas interesting, college is a great time to acquire that domain knowledge, in parallel with getting your certificate stamped that says you're safe to employ as a programmer.

Biology, chemistry, linguistics, cognitive science, every flavor of engineering. All of it comes with programming work to do. Protein folding, genetics, natural language processing, computer vision, CAD software, control software...

Being able to program is a useful skill, but you have to know what to program. And yes, there are plenty of companies who will happily hire a programmer to write SQL queries and copy fields from one protocol buffer to another. But those options don't go away because you also have a thorough understanding of, say, chemical engineering; you just also have another career path open to you where you can do a boatload of programming, just not with web frameworks.
This is not unharmed. You clearly knew about the case yet you deliberately obfuscated the facts until you were called out on it.

From what I understand, if you need credit as a founder, regular banks will want a personal guarantee, REGARDLESS of how much money you raised. I.e. the bank does not care about your company state.

Please considering adding a privacy policy and some CYA legalese. I know it probably seems excessive and unnecessary but I would just hate to see someone wind up in a whole mess of trouble for a super cool side project that was supposed to be fun.

The FTC has resources for small-business COPPA compliance and there are plenty of free tools to help with a privacy policy.
Also some people don't particularly value FAANG tech. Speaking for myself and some of my co-workers advertising algorithms, consumer, enterprise and financial tech just aren't that interesting. Sure the engineering can be impressive, but all that effort for what? So Adsense can be better convince people to buy crap they don't need, Apple can make its products even less practical, Amazon can more efficiently abuse its warehouse staff and make AWS fees more opaque, and facebook can sell your information more effectively while it keeps you up to date with relatives' conspiracy theories? At least Netflix provides entertainment value.

Not saying that's all said companies do, and some people (whom I lovingly refer to as "puzzlers") would enjoy the extra complexity and challenge for its own sake. But I wouldn't say the FAANG companies have any particularly inspiring missions. Not that such missions are easy to find, and they almost never pay as well, but they certainly don't seem to exist at FAANG.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but it’s probably a lot easier to come up with unique project names. So many names are taken in package registries or the community in general.

Also in this project, if they didn’t say it was called “ketchup”, then k3sup makes some sense. If we accept that k3s exists, k3sup sounds reasonable.
You can always tell an American salad dressing, because it has way too many ingredients.

A vinaigrette consists of olive oil (3 parts) and good vinegar (1 part), shaken well. That's it. Maybe a dab of mustard, a pinch of salt, a twist of pepper. My mom -- controversially -- add a pinch of sugar. But dried herbs, garlic, mon Dieu, no.

Join a social club - could be organized around an academic interest or purely social, but try to find one that has a large, active membership that includes upperclassmen. These are the people that will help you land a good internship and eventually a job if you don't already have a good network.

Don't count on a job fair.

Do a significant project, start a startup, or internship each year.

If you do a project or startup then do not do it alone. Find a cofounder/collaborator to help you make it bigger and better - could be another CS person or someone that brings something else to the table - design, marketing, sales.

Don't do an internship at a startup - do one at a big tech company if at all possible. Pay and perks will be better, better for your resume, more likely to convert to full-time offer, and in my experience will show you all the things you don't want and then you can enjoy startups that much more :D
Learn logic most of all. Learn procedural, functional, and object-oriented principles. Learn a variety of programming languages. Learn about the cloud (easy and free accounts exist on all platforms). Learn about data storage, but avoid religion: there are different ways to store and retrieve data for varying types of use (OLTP, Analytics).

Learn how to communicate well and manage your emotions. Learn how to be productive without guidance. Learn how to solve problems on your own, but also cultivate a group of people that can mentor you, along with understanding searching the Internet's resources.

When you finally look for work, find a place that aligns with your abilities and interests.
Yes. There is a very low bar to pass to convince a jury that a defendent is guilty. 99% conviction rates should scare you.
>Since when is this the worst case scenario for a CS grad?

He said this in the context of advising him to focus on algos and data structures. As in, if you work hard on those things, the worst case scenario is you'll be really good at whiteboard interviews. The point is that even the 'worst case' is a good outcome. Very different than talking about the worst case scenario for cs grads in general.
The most common cause of death for police officers is traffic fatalities. Should we pay highway construction crews 300K+?
> You need a heavily militarized police force to maintain peace in such an unqeual environment

There are many reasons why this argument does not hold water. In every economic system inequality feels terrible. People don't really have an absolute scale of inequality where they get upset if it crosses a certain threshold. It's all a matter of how much do they believe they can achieve the top spot.

A starving artist doesn't get super upset at wealth and the lavish parties of a successful artist because he truly believes that one day he'll get there. Tomorrow Jay-Z could become world's first trillionaire but a struggling hip-hop star would still not support high taxation on his assets.

The resentment starts when he believes that achieving that high status is not possible (which is not true for America) OR when he loses the existing status (i.e status loss).

The status loss theory explains things like Communist revolutions, rise of Christianity in the decline of Roman Empire far more than income inequality.

In fact in the United States, people at the low end of income almost never support the income inequality theory, it's almost always done by high social status non-religious left-liberals. For the people at the low end of income curve (but not like starving actors/artist/authors) believe that in the US, people have a shot at becoming rich, but because of loss of economic opportunity due to globalization, immigration etc has resulted in creation of this situation.
> If the government wasn’t afraid of the white protestors, why did they postponed re-opening? They specifically said that they didn’t reopen out of fear.

I don't remember all the details, but weren't the protestors calling for reopening? If the government postponed, they did so despite the protestors, not because of them.

> has he ever called a white criminal a thug

Many of the looters right now are white, so they'd be included in the group of criminals he recently called thugs.

> or a “son of a bitch” like he called a football player peacefully protesting?

Kaepernick got the same treatment as Trump's white Republican competitors in the 2016 primary. Trump is an asshole and he's never nice to people he disagrees with, regardless of race.
