If your database system doesn't have a complete audit log of all fields (most databases have this capability, but more often than not it's disabled), it's possible that the mere act of reverting account ownership might remove data needed for tracing down what happened.

Sure, it's a sucky position to be in, but I can see why they might have been hesitant to dive right in and start trying to undo damage before understanding what had happened.

I tried to do this not too long ago, but (at least in the US) all of the mobile networks are switching to LTE, and shutting down their 2G and 3G networks. I was unable to find any "dumb" phones with LTE support. The closest thing I found was some overpriced Android phone with most of the smartphone features stripped out.
On a different note, online presence is becoming very important and with remote work culture gaining traction, having a good online presence has become a must have asset.

While perhaps not the most professional on the recruiters' part it's hardly racist to half-ass a 'check the checkbox' assignment. Unlike the racist tokenism and just outright disrespectful facade of visiting a school when there is little to no (apparent) interest in hiring from.

He found that the photos and video were critical for an investigation into the alleged arson of SPD vehicles and theft of police guns

Given the wildly lax gun laws in the United States, I imagine that the folks who took these guns could've just as easily driven over to Wade's in Bellevue and bought themselves something equally lethal. No reason why we should uniquely be having such a freakout over guns disappearing from a Seattle PD car.

(setting aside a general freakout over US gun laws. Also, hi downvoters.)

My wife and I got electric bikes about 8 weeks ago and they have been great for running errands in lieu of single-occupancy car trips. We live near the Interurban Trail/Aurora and the e-bikes enable much easier access to a variety of stores, restaurants, and parks, which are not easily walkable. We now appreciate the nearby bike lanes and quiet streets for making longer trips to bigger parks or neighboring downtowns like Edmonds. We recently had wanted to return to Capitol Hill to enjoy a more walkable neighborhood, but so far bikeabilty has been an excellent substitute. Plus, in four years there will be a light rail station near us to offer yet another alternative to car trips. We feel lucky to have these options in our "suburban" location.
That's the point. Saying there's a pipeline problem when you ignore where the pipeline you're looking for is actually located is being silly.

In general there's an extremely strong belief in the bay area that it's not worth considering graduates of schools outside the top as being worth considering.

Upward-firing lights are aimed at the roof to spread the light and create more ambient light. So is primarily used as a down-light by reflection anyway.

I'm not sure the left/right shadows are a learned thing from user interfaces. As a kid, long before I got my first computer I was drawing 3D forms. Shadows always was drawn as light came from the upper left.

Maybe this is because I draw with right hand so prefer light to come from the left so I don't shadow my hand?

As I have said elsewhere, it was written in 5 minutes on the back of napkin. The point was making money for charity, which it did. For that reason I doubt Geldof or Bono care.

If a company visits a school, I 1000% expect the same treatment as any other school.

To provide special treatment is elitist at best, and racist and exploitative for PR points at worst.

> The majority of Indian and Asian Americans you see in the US are self-selected to be the richest and most successful ones from their country.

For Indian and Asian Americans, “their country” is the USA, and especially for Asian Americans, it's not uncommon that was true of their ancestors for several generations.
Houston is like this. I like it, but I grew up there, many people are so scared that it means a oil refinery or something could pop up next door one day but that stuff rarely happens. The market naturally seems to fill most of the voids in terms of demand, so it’s not like you have to go far to find a liquor store or something specific. That said, we built our cities in Texas for cars.

My adult life has mostly been in Dallas which is very different. I’ve attempted land development myself so know more than a layman but Dallas and especially surrounding suburbs have what feels like an insane level of zoning. I say “attempted” because there have been a couple dozen times where I see a building or raw land parcel and feel it would be perfect for some use. Do some research and find it wouldn’t be allowed. On some occasions I have a specific aesthetic (tasteful, but I like unique/artistic structures) that I’d like, only to find the town requires all buildings to be made/finished of no less than 80% red brick or paint 1 of 6 predetermined shades of brown. It’s killed my endeavors every time and honestly, makes the DFW area an architecturally soulless Place to be IMO. Just recently, maybe 2018, the state banned these local aesthetic requirements. But I think locally it’s still a fight to get something too far from the city planners vision built.
What you are saying is consistent with the author's message: If they did not think they would pass the hiring bar, then they likely went there to check a box.

Yep, market share wise, I'd say Twitter in Japan is much huger than the US (probably their top 1 social media if not counting Line, which is primarily a messaging service.)
The world's quite bigger than the US and its particularities don't apply in most other countries.
I am already living this idea. I do not own a smartphone in 2020. It has been close to 2 months and i do not miss it. Once the lockdown is over, then the real test of how long i could resist the allure of smartphones would be evident.

Maybe a bit of an overkill, but if one would use an RPi ZeroW, you could simply stack multiple of them (together with a video-grabber) in one case, each providing KVM for one host. If you only want to use one network port, add an internal network switch to the package, have one the RPis doing the frontend to it (requires a second network port on it).

Investors from outside of the community may not have interest in anything other than returns. “Investors” from an autocracy where future property rights can’t entirely be taken for granted may not be interested even in that; they could just want to hedge their government risk by parking some money in non-seizable assets located outside of the country, and then minimize any resulting management headache.
> How high are the tuitions at the university of florida?

In-state tuition at the University of Florida is inexpensive compared to most major US universities and is generally considered one of the better values among universities. ~$6,400 per year in-state. Florida State is also comparable in cost.

How important is family health history?
Health history of the family is quite necessary. When you know about what kind of health issues your family had, it becomes easy to tackle with them properly. Oral health issues which have been there from such a long time can be solved too. Diabetes, genetic health problems etc. can be passed to further generation. That’s why family health history is important.

This works great if you have a huge and well-equipped home. I could set up my place to be both a home and an office, but it wouldn't be cheap (for starters, I'd want to rent something bigger). Considering taxes, this would be equivalent to at least a 20k pay cut due to costs being offloaded on me.

I totally see why employers love that.

Additionally, FAANG and startup tech offices often serve as more than an office - they tend to have a lot of shared amenities that are just not practical to have at home. I don't use a 3D printer often enough to own one, but there is one in the office. Gym? Office, and it has more than a pull-up bar. Post office? Office. Inbound packages? Post office. In the office. Grocery shopping? Happens much less often if you eat out. In the office. Why would I want to eat out of my own fridge and pantry (and have to prepare the food myself) when I can grab tasty food prepared by people who actually know what they're doing?

The benefit isn't just that the stuff is free; the benefit is that it's all right there. It's an incredible time saver.

This is going to be a huge benefits cut for tech employees, and a massive cost-cutting measure for tech employers.

If the office is just an office with no amenities, and you have a sucky commute, then I can see why WfH would be attractive.
This isn't always the case. If you are an introvert, work often is your main contact with other people. Work at home would be like working third shift for me, no "sunlight" of contact with other people. It'd be way too easy to be alone.
Actually Apple benefits if the ARM Core team isn't very good, the rest of the industry would suffer if Mali GPU's dont get upgrades. Already they are behind iPhones, a poor team at ARM Ensures competition doesn't catchup. But all this might change should NVIDIA buys it and adds their own GPUS to the SOC.
The last step where you manually do what the product is meant to do really works in 1% of products. Think of all the successful products today: Docusign, Snowflake, Wix, yeah.. not going to happen.

I could agree that more recruiting resources should be dedicated towards higher ranking schools, but food scraps and half-hearted presentations just for PR points falls wayyy below just "lower resources".

Would you rather just not have a company show up, or have a recruiter essentially treat you like a dog?
Doesn't this assume that morality has mostly to do with consequences (effects/outcomes/...)? That's a reasonable idea, but it's relatively modern. Semitic religions seem more concerned with (or at least, also very concerned with) intention, no matter what actions and downstream consequences those may or may not bring about.
Yes, although it ignores 2ndary effects (eg. Google takes over payments market, all other competitors go bankrupt, Google stops innovating because no competition, users lose out because no innovation).

That happened in things like Google Reader - users loved the service so much the industry for RSS readers died and stagnated, hurting users...

He is a very fringe source. From "Teleportation Physics Study", 2004:

>P-Teleportation is a form of psychokinesis (or PK) similar to telekinesis but generally used to designate the movement of objects (called apports) through other physical objects or over great distances. Telekinesis is a form of PK, which describes the movement of stationary objects without the use of any known physical force. And PK is essentially the direct influence of mind on matter without any known intermediate physical energy or instrumentation. Rigorously controlled modern scientific laboratory PK, and related psychic (a.k.a. “psi”, “paranormal” or parapsychology), research has been performed and/or documented by Rhine (1970), Schmidt (1974), Mitchell (1974a, b, see also the references cited therein), Swann (1974), Puthoff and Targ (1974, 1975), [...]

Much of his work is done with Harold E. Puthoff, who is similarly fringe. (A lot of remote viewing stuff, famous for showing Uri Geller was a "real" psychic.)

The only reason we have days off is because of productivity gains due to investment in capital goods. If we can wean ourselves off of a debt-based economy, then we might be able to whittle that workweek down even further. We seem to have stalled right around 1971 when dollar convertibility was suspended.
Just curious, but what are your productive languages? Mine is probably clojure.

The machine will be 140 nodes, which is half the size of the current #7 on the top500 list which is otherwise identical: https://top500.org/system/179842/

That #7 machine got 27.6 Pflops on HPL, so I would guess the Florida machine will get roughly half of that.

(Please keep in mind the tensor cores on the A100 can do FP64, so the theoretical peak flops per GPU is 19.5)

It's definitely a little racist to half ass it so hard you're serving leftovers from another school.

I don't think I really agree that visiting HBCUs is racist tokenism unless it is 100% just to get diversity brownie points and nothing else: it's still better than not visiting them entirely and to provide opportunities to underrepresented minorities for which, while the intent is to put them into the corporate grinder, having a high-paying tech job is still a material benefit.
Startups are street racers: you never know who you’re racing next to. They might have bigger sponsors than their sleeper suggests. A NASCAR analogy would therefore apply to traditional VC centers like SF, NYC, etc. It’s hard to pass someone before a turn at 200 MPH, but if you don’t do it, plenty of other people can and will.

Practically anyone can build a racecar, or a startup. The race puts proof to the lie: not everyone can compete, and not everyone wins. The first issue is systemic; the second: hard work, capital, and dumb luck.

Life, like business, hopefully doesn’t have a checkered flag, but it’s a fact of life all the same. All anyone can do is race their best to win, for whatever your own personal winning conditions are. Choose your racing team wisely!
> Publishing a paper that fits the popular (in social sciences) narratives is easy, publishing one that goes against them (like the one I linked) is hard and may well be career suicide.

The Occam’s Razor explanation for this is that the popular narratives are popular because most available evidence supports them.
> The only reason IP law exists, is because people have decided that profit might be lost if people share your idea with others. We are artificially stifling the spreading of ideas from person to person, because of profit. This is a tragedy.

IP law exists so people share ideas, because they can do so while still being compensated. Otherwise they might keep them secret, not devote a lot of time and resources into developing them etc.

A number of the comments are saying this is bad because from Facebook, numbers are unrealistic ($100mm?!), signs tell you nothing.

Personally, I've done startups longer than I want to admit (10+ yrs). If I was to start another one, the play book would look basically like this article.

Idea/Thesis, Hypothesis, Target, Test and some where later - build.

The problem I had when I started and why so many founders get it wrong is the steps usually look like - Idea => Build or just ... Build.

There is a lot of good advice here. Sure the numbers might appear insane (just replace, $1m, $300k, $300), but don't let that stop this from being a good framework. The goal is to remove as many assumptions about what you're supposed to build as fast as possible because chances are, more than not, the assumptions are wrong from Idea => Build. This is a good way to validate a number of assumptions and it's only just the beginning

The only thing I would have added is - ask for Money.

Ideas will iterate very quickly (or die) once money is involved.
Antitrust isn't about stealing business from your competitors, it is about colluding with them to rip off consumers by fixing prices.
I am from a small country of two million people. We have our own language and the faculties have a mandate to coin new technical terms in our language. Our theses all have to be written using these terms (they are updated annually).

Unfortunately, we in the industry largely don't follow these updates so in our conversations we use English terms. People just graduating, however, may be exposed to the English terms anew when they start working.

A dilligent student would have studied material in English as well but it is possible for people to get to a Masters in Computer Science and do all their studying in our native language.
