Usually the marketing spend ranges from half to double the spend compared to R&D. However, advertising (specifically the direct to consumer variety that's uniquely allowed in the US) only consists of ~10% of the marketing budget. Over half the marketing budget is free samples and a quarter is physician outreach/training, which happens in both the EU and US.

So there's potential for ~3-7% cost improvement if direct-to-consumer advertising is banned in the US.

US pharma R&D intensity averages ~40%, which is more than double of Europe's average intensity.

Many of those "antivirus companies" are selling usage data that they obtain via pixel tracking. Explaining this to someone who uses such "antivirus" is like explaining the difference between the web and the internet, those users don't want to understand the difference.
A pretty small effect, given that Earth has on net lost atmosphere over time there was less cosmic ray radiation on the surface back then then there is now. Which is in stark contrast to UV radiation which came in easily before the Great Oxygenation produced an ozone layer. LUCA, the last universal common ancestor, probably already had some oxygen resistance before then because UV radiation was always breaking up water molecules to produce tiny amounts of oxygen that it had to deal with.

I think it's a bit sad that the article completely fails to mention that Bram Moolenaar originally implemented vim on the Amiga. Actually this might have contributed to its popularity: back in 1991, Amigas were much more widespread than Unix boxes, and around the time Commodore went bust and the Amiga was no more, i imagine lots of developers migrated to then-new Linux rather than to the despised DOS/Windows, and took their preference for vim with them.

I am not sure I agree on the have you got any questions for us. Interviewing is a strange process. I find it quite difficult from being sociable friendly, coming up with decent answers then jumping into some kind of coding question, as it engages different parts of your brain. After you have done that coming up with questions for the interviewers is something different again. I can see why many people wouldn't have anything unless it was prepared. The interview process should be fairly two way anyway, so I ask as I am being interviewed, so often any questions I have are answered already.

If other people find thay have this problem have a couple of canned questions ready. Ask how much of a mess their code base is on a scale of 1 - 10.
No central authority, but there is a central reference, Wikipedia, which allows one to quickly translate between names for places and things, so the need for a canonical name is much less than in the days when one might need to consult a reference book or have various names in one's readily-accessible memory.

I was also an early adopter of Android with the HTC Hero (Android 1.5/1.6), then the HTC Desire (Android 2.0) then the Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2/4.3/4.4), but I got fed up of the support timelines too. I don't think my Galaxy Nexus even got an official update to KitKat (4.4). I got it via custom ROMs which were of questionable quality. Battery life and performance were also among my complaints. I eventually switched to an iPhone 6 in 2014 which lasted me 4 years and even then I only had to replace it because the storage capacity wasn't enough for me (16GB). The fact that apps have to ask for each permission also gave me the impression that iOS was more private/secure by default compared to Android. I know it's a moot point in current versions of Android, but it's still shocking to me that it took them so long to address the issue and that it even existed to begin with.

> Everything mentioned in the Ecuador example is labor intensive: private sector busses driving around plentifully

I don't think this is a result of cheap labour but rather increased efficiency of routing due to a less spread out city:

> with a bevy of signs—up to a dozen—in the front windshield listing major destinations: neighborhoods, universities, other landmarks

A bus that does this in most American cities would need to drive quite far and make a large number of stops, as everything is far apart from everything else.

In non-American cities, things are usually more concentrated, so a single bus route can reach more stuff in less time.

More stuff in less time = more trips completed per unit time = more money for the driver = more drivers.

I think another way you can think of it is as an evolution of Uber/Lyft's ride-sharing services. If you ran such a service you might find that there are common routes. At that point drivers could drive those routes repeatedly and advertise them through the app. But why bother with the app when you can just put signs outside?
You may want to consider archiving some of those backups to an external drive that is only hooked up to store new data maybe? Or maybe theres something you can do for the network drive

It seems you're seeking to define a "British caste system" by reference to the Hindu caste system minus the Hindu caste system's defining feature. You're ending up with something like a meritocracy. It's not clear what point you're making other than "I don't like the Hindu caste system".

Let's take a File System for a second as example. If you wrote your personal data on some disk drive and then to read this drive you need let's say Mac/Win because it's a closed format. And Mac/Win cost money. How it differs from ransomware then? Sure you have more time to decide, usually more than 3 days and it costs a bit less, but is it much of a difference there? Probaly a choice to start using it, but is it really a choice? In many cases it's not really.

Good point, and I appreciate it, but it isn't quite as "fluid" in the UK as it may seem. In the US, yes. In the UK, not so much.

We recently had a woman that works for the State Department give testimony, and one of the things she mentioned, in her prepared remarks, was that she came to the US, because she couldn't get a fair shake in the UK, due to her "Northern accent," despite some heavy-duty cred.

The one thing that the Indian caste system has, is something to outlaw.

Since it is so codified, there's a specific thing to point to in a law.

Becoming a doctor does not make you upper class in the UK. You can't really become upper class, at least in the traditional sense - certainly not through a job or money.

e.g. David Cameron, Eton educated prime-minister, described himself as middle class.

Edit: You could argue that everyone is middle class these days - almost nobody self identifies as working class and there are so few real upper class people (I've never met one).

Edit2: Of course, you used to be able to buy entry into the upper class. But that doesn't happen anymore ;-)

1) Those processing transactions know which wallet they belong to before they choose to process it (this was the surprise to me presented here).

2) Wallets can be linked to people as the blockchain shows wallet holding value and transactions. (State actors can probably correlate with bank transactions; people in general can learn 'oh John Doe bought pizza from me using that wallet').

That's irrelevant

> The extent of the spread would have surprised most people...

But not epidemiologists.

> precisely because we have encountered very similar viruses before and managed to contain them

Epidemiologists knew it was coming, and knew one would escape the net. They knew it. I spoke to several personally during when this happened https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic and I started to listen. They knew it. Don't pretend otherwise.

> If not why not since its spread is, like coronavirus, inevitable?

So first you claim it's unpredictable, then you acknowledge it's inevitable.

Keep your eyes shut and everything's going to be alright.
Because I've experienced a lot of number fiddling to describe total comp. For example we offer you X equity at Y valuation, when the valuation is something they have made up internally etc. I want to know how much cash in hand I can expect. Also, offering private health insurance, when you live in a country with a decent public health care system is not much of benefit and generally not worth what the company says its worth. If it was the US, I could see how that would be valuable, but in most of Europe, it is not.

Masks were not mandatory in South Korea till well past the peak, though they are commonly worn.

Masks were not used in New Zealand which has had one of the best responses.

Masks are a useful low-cost measure but they're not sufficient on their own, quarantine and test and trace is far more effective and is probably what allowed those countries to get on top of their outbreaks so quickly, though honestly I'm not sure anybody knows the answers as yet about variations in infection and spread - we'll know a lot more in a few years in retrospect.

There's a common thread in most of the countries that have done incredibly badly though - the leaders have downplayed the risk and refused to take common sense measures to stop the spread (UK, Brazil, US).

You really seem to have no idea about segregated churches and caste violence is greatest among the Christians.

The church has been so successful in promoting caste divisions to convert people that it has caught on to them.

Part of the reason why organised conversion is banned in some states is because of the tendency of the church to convert by hook or crook and the accompanying propaganda of hate.

You should read up a bit about the apology made by the church for being responsible for the Rwandan genocide.
I'm in no way disagreeing that countries like Vietnam have done a good job in keeping on top of the problem, but talking about any country's response in the past tense seems premature.

Pretty much any assessment needs to have a "so far" appended.
This is strongly misaligned with many companies' incentives so it will never happen, I am afraid.

A lot of interviewing processes are kind of like fishing. They hope that if they wasted you 6-10 hours of your time before an actual offer then you'd make a decision based on the sunk cost fallacy ("not sure how much time the other companies will waste me, let's take this one on their offer, it's not so bad").

I am glad that your experience has been positive but as you correctly intuited yourself, many others' experiences are very far from it.

(To clarify, the employer I started onboarding with is nothing like that; I am talking about all the others that I talked with before I stumbled upon them.)
The point is, people should know that they are supporting an organisation that has Marxist leaders.
You are correct about the 'quote', as it does not seem Gebru ever wrote that. I am surprised none of these sibling comments have affirmed that. While personally I presume that parent poster meant the 'quote' only as an illustrative pharaphrase, it is clearly very easy to misinterpret. (Of course, if one assigns less charitable intent it is intentionally misleading, but I generally assume the best of people.) Either way, it feels intellectually dishonest that no one else has conceded this.

As an aside: I wish English had some more elegant method for forming compound words than just-concatenate-words-with-hyphens. Compounding of phrases and use of imagined quotes as compound words is one of those common flourishes of verbal communication that is difficult to express in written English.

As a note: I believe it is primarily the "dogwhistle" reference is what is earning you down-votes, as it subtly implies — whether intended or not — that parent poster is somehow racist. I presume the best intentions and up-voted you, but keep in mind how it can be interpreted.
My experience is that when obvious experts in niches are added late to an interview loop, that’s almost always a positive sign for the candidate. Those people are generally busy and aren’t on the “everyday candidate” loop typically.
I would not suggest this book. While it does begin with simple, concise examples, it leaves out many important details.

For example:

- The first variable using `const` is called ”immutable”, which is misleading, since only the _assignment_ is immutable. Later on the same page, a const object property is assigned to without any clarification as to why it works.

- Only single- and double-quoted strings are introduced at first, even though template strings are arguably the cleanest for building strings.

- Arrow functions are introduced as just another syntax - neither implicit `this` binding nor implicit return of last block statement are mentioned.
> For over 2 millenia dalits were not even allowed to enter schools or gain education.

I agree. But reservation as it is in practice currently is rather a knee jerk reaction and not a scientific system. The problem with all these SJW "empowerment" plans is they empower the people who are already empowered.

A retired judge told that the only way to ensure reservation won't be misused is restricting it to one member in one family, and I agree with that, or even restricting reservation to those with less income. The problem with second approach is people easily fake income in income certificates.

The misuse of reservation system is why there is lot of complaints against it, even for people who would score a low amount in tests, reservation would become a scapegoat when the other person with similar economical status gets a job or seat in good college with similar scores.

And your generalization isn't true either. My dad learned till 4th standard, which is almost the average in the area regardless of the caste. My grandmother told she didn't go to school, and I have not seen my grandfather to ask how much he studied.

At this point, you may consider me biased because I don't know about harsh realities in other regions. But keep the data point.

> At the very least, contingency plans don’t go stale.

They do if not maintained, especially when there are major changes in population size or spatial distribution, or changes in the infrastructure and its usage (e.g. hospital spinups and closures, traffic/transport).

To make it worse, Trump outright gutted the pandemic response team, and Germany hasn't done well in that regard either although we were quick to listen on experts, which mitigated that at least a bit.

> A few calm generations in the flood valley don’t quite explain this.

They do, actually. In the US, but also in parts of the EU, "science denial" has been moved from "whacko nutjob" territory to outright mainstream, with constant cuts in education funding doing the rest. Democracy requires a demos, especially a demos able (both intellectually and in terms of time) and willing to participate in the democratic process, to work.
