I don't know what it is, but I've never broken a single Lightning cable since I got my first iPhone in 2016. I still have 2 new-in-box cables from upgrades. But a few weeks ago I was picking up a friend and when she got in my car she said "Why do you have the Apple cable? They're so fragile" and immediately tore the strain relief plugging her phone in.
Extremely insightful. I'd never considered this perspective. Thank you for this.

According to a google an average car might take ~9000 joules to start. Also according to google, an average hand crank only puts out about 15 watts. So you might be cranking for at least 10 minutes.

If you could convert gravitational potential energy into charged battery energy at 50% efficiency, you would need to raise something weighing 2000 lbs to a height of 6'6". Your own car maybe? You could have tripod legs that deploy from the side of your car, allowing you to winch it up that amount, and then to start it you just drop the car.
Why would you have to convince anyone? If you believe Tesla is better positioned for the future than Toyota, buy Tesla stock and not Toyota stock.

I'm a Full-stack developer with more than 3 years of experience in Frontend, Backend and some DevOps. I love to learn and build things from scratch. I'm passionate about machine learning and been dedicating my free time learning about it. A web-dev position in a company on this field will be a big plus for me.
> (1) - What is the point of this comparison?

France is a wealthy, highly developed country with strong labor laws. Cost of living in France certainly isn’t cheaper than the US.

> (2) - Different discussion -- let's assume for sake of argument we are talking about a young healthy person anyways.

You should have insurance, and the ACA made it affordable (the government pays 80% of the premium for some at income).

> (3) - Sales tax is "almost nothing"?

You don’t pay sales tax on rent. I live in a civilized state, so you don’t pay sales tax on groceries and clothes either.

> With respect, this reply is coming off as completely out of touch with someone who can barely afford rent, food, gas

The point is that someone making $10 working 40 hours in a low cost of living place probably isn’t one of those people who can “barely afford rent, food, and gas.” Which goes back to OP’s question: why focus on who is working? Because people who don’t have work or don’t have sufficient hours are the people who are really struggling to afford rent, food, etc.

The people who are out of touch are the ones who apply their SF or NYC-warped glasses to the vast majority of the country that isn’t SF or NYC. I was in Clear Lake Iowa, which is what passes for a tourist destination in Iowa. You can get a 2BR apartment for $650/month. Someone making $10/hour there who is single with a roommate has a perfectly reasonable life.

No, $10/hour jobs won’t support a kid or pay for daycare. If that’s the concern, the government should pay people who have kids and provide free daycare. That’s also a perfectly reasonable approach.

Preach. Boston is damn near overly hostile towards young people. They hyper regulate all activities and services that young people want to participate in or use as you point out, do nothing to reign in housing prices, and then are shocked when they have a hard time retaining talented people after they get their degrees. It's absurd.
Unfortunately all that engineering talent is wasted designing ever more wasteful vehicles that are ruining the environment. Kind of like loads of CS engineering talent is wasted improving insidious ad technology that is ruining society.
What would you suggest as a few examples to consider? (let's assume there is no covid in place so everything is open as usual) Thanks!
I've thought about this, but it risks creating an incentive for lenders to exaggerate the risk of minority lending in order to capture larger subsidized interest amounts or externalize more underwriting risk.
> I would like to see data that proves that "seeing" more stuff impedes the ability to operate something.

Edward Tufte made a career out of writing books that essentially argue this for data design: information density is good. Low information density means you're wasting people's time.

Our visual systems are extremely good at creating and navigating hierarchies, at rapidly switching between levels of detail, and at actively filtering irrelevant information. You don't have to hide stuff, you just have to make the user determine it's irrelevant for the task at hand, and their brain will just filter it out.

“Seeing more stuff” makes it harder to find the one thing you want without taking your eyes off the road. A touchscreen or similar interface in a car allows you to maintain a minimal set of buttons and controls for access to essential functionality while driving, while keeping the complex and infrequently-used stuff hidden in the touchscreen for access while stopped (when you have as much time as you need to search through the interface finding the thing you want).

I agree that putting controls which you need to use while driving behind a touchscreen is not an optimal choice.

When unemployment is low companies have to compete with other to attract people just to work there (instead of when hunting for talent). When it's high, there is no competition for unqualified workers and they are completely not valued.

I mean, it would help to be honest about the metrics that the A/B tests are evaluated against. If you optimize purely for growth and engagement, then your test results will reflect that - even moreso if your tests are scientifically sound.

I can understand how an Antarctic station might look on the surface like a mountaineering trip, but in my experience (a less serious climber than yourself, have deployed to the Ice for the US program on both sides of the logistics/science line) there's actually not much in common between the two, I guess outside of the small field camps which are almost(?) always summer-only affairs and usually run by mountain guides.

There's a great book, Big Dead Place, which is the best window in to the USAP culture that I've come across. It's a bit dated, but I can assure you that the crazy sorts of things in that book still happen - it's shocking/beautiful that it works at all.

USB 3 Micro B was always funny to me. It's backwards compatible with USB 2 Micro connectors, so in theory it's a nice upgrade path at the time. In practice, though, it's often used for USB HDDs, and often those drives couldn't function reliably with the power levels of a USB 2 connection, so using them with a USB 2 micro connector was not only much slower, but they'd just power down randomly.

I like lightning connector, but it too has it's silly hacks. The HDMI dongles are an amazing level of silliness, down to a slimmed down iOS image being copied to the dongle and run there to enable a h264 decoder to run on the dongle itself. It works, kinda sorta.
I did not say it is a chore. I wouldn't be doing interviews if I didn't like it.

I just said it is difficult to do all of these well within 2h limit. This was to contrast with other people balking at longer interviews.

Also, if I ask the candidate a question or give a coding problem to solve I expect them to be intelligent enough to understand I don't want them to google the solution. Everybody knows what the interview is and what it is for.

If I wanted them to google the solution I would ask to perform the task at home EXCEPT I find giving the task to be done in own time unfair and unethical practice.

It is unethical because by spending no effort at all I am motivating potential candidates to spend huge amount of their own time to polish the solution as much as possible.

It is unfair because it does not let me to get to know the candidate at all. It promotes candidates who are willing to waste huge amount of their time.
Very cool project though. Nice job!

Windows authentication doesn’t use Kerberos.

Windows authentication uses NTLM, if it’s backed by a directory such as an AD it’s then can be used by the server to authenticate or authorize the user.

The Kerberos support in Active Directory is somewhat there due to legacy reasons when there were a lot of directory products on the market that spoke Kerberos and it’s was added to support applications that did not shoot NTLM.

For the most part most Microsoft products don’t use it, and those which do don’t expose it to the users (SSO, tho there is now SSO with Windows principles too).

To put it more simply if you login to the server directly using a username and password (For a Windows Principle) it’s never Kerberos, for Kerberos authentication you need to go to a Kerberos server and get a TGT then use that TGT to get a service ticket for a specific resource which again is done against the Kerberos server directly that service ticket is then presented to the resource you are trying to access.

Most high income jobs in this country are performed by foreigners. I have data to prove this, scraped all of the top firms LinkedIn’s. The labor force in the USA is way more hollow than this data even shows. It’s harrowing to see how few American college graduates enter roles that have a bright future. I am currently working on a website to expose the reality of American employment.

Other factor here is the fed printing money to inflate financial assets, making the rich richer and driving up the housing market.

Ultra capitalist policies by the left and right to completely outsource American jobs.

The effects of all of these have not been realized yet. But they will. We’re 15 years off from real crises when both the left and right middle class populations realize they’ve been had
For a while there were registrars that gave a discount when you abandoned your cart.
Plus paying a person in Mexico $16 an hour is still 50% cheaper then paying an American $16 an hour.
Regardless of whether you think all those components are necessary, there is still the question of whether the amount of space they require is justified; JavaScript is a high-level language, and in fact one of the higher-level ones in comparison to things like C/C++. 1KB of JS should be able to do far more than 1KB of C or even binary.

Thus, 100MB of JS is astoundingly huge. It's roughly the same size as all the binaries in a full install of Windows 95, with all its features and drivers.

In the spirit of https://prog21.dadgum.com/116.html perhaps we need a list of "Things an empty Rails app is smaller than".

It takes a ton of cycles out of development googling "can I use feature X in browser Y".

All EU prices must be tax included.

How could the building you describe be assessed at only 1.4 million? In my city, a single condo that rents for $4k/mo would be assessed higher than that.
An ACA silver plan means you have a $4500 deductible. You will NEVER go to a doctor. You will also not have sick leave, and if you don't show up for your randomly timed work shift you will be fired. Thats if you get hours in the first place.

So you pay your $500 for rent. Add 150 for utilities. Add 200 for gas and 50 for car insurance since you're gonna be living in a rural place. Thats 900 for a roof and ability to pay for it.

Now you have $600 a month for food and literally any other expense. Say you never eat out and use staples like rice and beans as the basis for every dish, thats $250 a month (maybe you can squeeze out another $50, but one must have a slight bit of slack for say, a single gallon of ice cream per month). $350 for everything else. Entertainment. A gym membership. Your medical deductible. Your sanity.
I supported American craft beer since the mid-90's until a few years ago when everyone went nuts with hops. American breweries seem to have become a copycat industry.

I was never big on Flash games but I did enjoy one on Kongregate: a card-based game inspired heavily by the various works of H.P. Lovecraft.

I get it, Flash is buggy and second in being a security mistake only to PDFs. Still, it's a shame these little games will be forgotten, swept aside.
Most airliners, regardless of route length, will fly about 3000 hours per year. 737s might do 4, 5 or 6 legs per day. Fuel efficiency is an even larger concern for those planes because while a long haul aircraft will spend most of its working life at cruising speed, the short haul aircraft spend a good amount of time at takeoffs, landings, and lower altitudes, which burn more fuel per passenger/km.

> but then won't the heat radiate and conduct outwards in a "sphere" from the heating element including up and down, and not make any layers?

Suspicion of mine is part of the answer is that the viscosity of water drops with temperature. Rising hot water in a warm layer hits the cold layer above it and spreads out then turns down. Also water is a middle of the road non metallic solid when it comes to heat conduction. But it has high heat capacity and is a liquid.

Complicating things stratification at least in a well designed water heater happens rarely. So it's easy enough to set up conditions where it doesn't happen. But of course it's a known problem. And not a totally solved one either. Suspect that simplified models probably don't display the behavior.

Why would you be surprised? California has a long history of stepping on people's freedoms and rights
It's kinda two ways. It raises the cost of automobiles (that's why analyses project a reduction in automobile sales by a bit over a million vehicles per year), reduces labour demand, and erases more low-skilled work; but those who do get the jobs may be paid more than otherwise, until the numbers expire.
What are you talking about? Thousands of people died in New York, way more than California. Are you saying that California should have made sure thousands died in the first pass so that not as many die in the second? You do realize New York did not shut down the subway, so it's likely a large portion of the population was able to transmit the virus that way.

I looked at the California data, and while there are a lot of cases in the hospital/icu, it appears that most are coming from only a few places. In fact, almost all of the California deaths are coming from LA, which is not a GOP stronghold, but a Dem one.

Rather than try and fit the narrative to my tribe good, your tribe bad, let's look at the data objectively. I'm not sure that the cases are out of control yet (maybe they are). It seems like this could just be what happens when you start to reopen, and that you need to monitor to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

Under what law? Section 230 is a special exemption for tech companies. Without it, Google is indeed subject to the same laws as Fox News. Now, it's possible those laws aren't strong enough... but they'd be equally not strong enough upon both Google and Fox News.

Currently, Fox News is held accountable poorly, and Google is not held accountable at all whatsoever.
See, I like cloying. Before hazies became a thing, I'd mostly drink wee heavies (strong scotch ales) and milk stouts.

I also live in Texas, where it gets really damn hot and humid out, and the refreshing citrus taste of hazies really helps deal with the heat in a way that wee heavies and milk stouts just don't.

Edit: I've also seen, thanks to Drizly, a new trend of light hazies that's starting to appear. They're a bit too thin for me, but if you don't like cloying you can always check them out. Sixpoint Trail Haze and Firestone Flyjack are the ones I've seen.
