Those are good points, but fashion exists in a logic-adjacent (interesting, infuriating) intersection of Art and Commerce; on a big set you can almost map where someone is on that continuum by their order on the call sheet.

On one hand, it makes total sense to ask if embracing 3D stuff, or pushing (to my mind) a more appropriate use of the digital mediums in which we create and experience most things will lead to spike in revenue:

If you do it poorly (read: solution looking for a problem) I wouldn’t expect that to make much of a leap in any real metrics—and if companies are trying to pass off images on the wrong side of the uncanny valley that’d be more likely to hurt than help.

But it’s the Art that actually sells the “lifestyle” (read: clothes), and if you can create a gobsmacking incredible experience that makes people feel things you will absolutely see that in metrics and earned media and attention...

There are so many interesting technologies that are widely accessible today that fashion companies aren’t embracing because 1) they don’t know to look for them and 2) they don’t understand how they work. Small example: I absolutely blew a (publicaly-traded) client’s mind showing them a projection mapping concept... 2 years ago, well after the tools made it a 15 minute job they could have gotten the savvy intern to execute.
Nowadays I define my moderation as "somewhere between the libertarians and the democratic socialists", which of course would make me completely unacceptable to either of those groups.
> but when I look at the tens of millions of dollars I've personally saved the company through my actions and work, I don't consider my compensation "fair"

This is a failure in reasoning about how pay works.

Pay (salaried jobs, not commission) for a role is related to the difficulty in hiring (replacing) and retaining an employee for that role. A role's impact in terms of dollars changes over time. The safety in this is that if you don't happen to save $10mm this year, you still probably have a job. And your company can have roles like R&D (where many projects don't generate money at all), internal tools, etc.

> when I look at the tens of millions of dollars I've personally saved the company through my actions and work

I would hazard a guess that this work wasn't 100% yours. Ops, oncall, infosec, accounting, etc etc all participate. This is Obama's "you didn't build that alone" argument.

The question isn't how much did you save, the question is could your employer hire someone else to drive the same outcome for less (or more).
That's definitely an anomaly, I use vivado with ASIC code reguarly, very large designs and have not seen anything like this. I use vivado to elaborate and a analyse code intended for ASIC use as its better than other ASIC tools for that purpose. Once I'm happy with it in vivado, then I push it through design compiler, etc. Elaborating a deign that is 4 hours in DC synthesis is about 3 mins in vivado elaboration.
I guess these silly generalizations can go on ad infinitum and we end up with every concept A describes any situation B.

It reminds me of what happens to the numbers if we allow for 2 + 2 = 5 to be true. Effectively 1 will end up being equal to 0, and since every number multiplied by 1 is it self, and every number multiplied by 0 is 0, we end up with all numbers being equal to 0. Effectively rendering them useless.

I think you’re making a fundamentally incorrect assumption that you have to politically agree with someone to like them or successfully work with them.

At least for me that’s not the case at all.

I guess diversity includes everything but diversity of political opinion?

I work in as a software dev for a financial company. The company does weigh in on political/ideological stuff from the CEO to the managers. Even if that were not the case, silence on some issues could get you in hot water with your coworkers.

Most of the stuff they push, I'm not opposed to in general. My opinions tend to be more focused on the libertarian implementation of achieving those things and adhering to rule of law. This tends to be aligned with the outcomes they say they stand for, but it's not the 'right' answer (liberal).

And don't even think about telling a joke that could even slightly be misinterpreted or overheard by a 3rd party. A guy from my building got fired for moving a diversity poster because somebody thought the action was offensive.

> all sorts of things you’d never pick up on working remotely.

When people say these things I seriously question if they've ever worked remote before. Yes if being remote makes you atypical for your workplace, then you'll probably be left out. But if you're working for a remote-first team the it's completely different. Nearly all of my closest coworkers I've met have been at remote companies.

I have had tons of interesting conversations, brainstorming session and just generally fun discussion while remote.

Honestly, I have personally found the amount of more toxic conversations also drops when remote. The problem with in-office socialization is that you have to socialize with people you might not particularly like (working with people you don't like is fine, but having to have conversations with them, go out for team drinks with them etc is another thing). This leads to generally more toxic behavior, since you have to put more energy into those social interactions.
> I have worked in the type of role where I was expected to lead a transformational change.

Most roles have nothing to do with leading transformational change. You can concede that much?
They will still prioritize paid listings. The only thing that has changed is you can now get on page 51 without paying for the privilege. This just helps them get a slightly bigger marketplace to make their paid listings a little more valuable.

> Are you naive to the point where you believe that the US armed forces have spent billions establishing a global comm network just to send emails?

I actually think it's very reasonable for the military to have spent billions just improving their human-to-human communication infrastructure. Efficient and highly available communication is vitally important for a functional military without needing to into autonomous vehicles.

I feel the same about Samsung's Exynos mobile SoCs. While they are definitely worse than Qualcomm's, if they went away Qualcomm would be the only chip maker for Android flagships (excluding Huawei, but without Google play services they don't really count).
That is, the vilification of having views that are not the same as the majority leading people to feel repressed, and them supporting someone that's unwilling to bend to that, even if they don't support every decision he makes or view he takes.

We gotta break this stuff into more detail.

If you look at say, the start of #metoo, you see Harvey Weinstein, a man so powerful that the ordinary justice system could not touch him until essentially a Twitter mob took him down.

Now, public accusation is a crappy way to settle bad behavior, it's easy to channel this stuff in any direction a manipulator might choose. But people choose that rout of desperation, when the ordinary justice and more broadly ordinary government processes fail.

If we look at the Minneapolis Police Department in particular, we see a department with such a long history of corruption and even murder that the entire group should be fired. And moreover, all of Minneapolis civic government out side the police would like to do that - but are in fact powerless to do that through a web of laws the police have protecting their interests.

And this is the thing. You have powerful, unaccountable men and women whose acts provoke anger in many parts of the population. Then you have an angry mob which actually can't impose any significant change and once they get going can inflict collateral damage themselves - and maybe get met by a counter-mob. But after the upsurge, any reform is thin and the stage is set for the next event.

So, I'd say mobs and counter-mobs are problematic but the root is permanent unaccountable powers that can ignore whatever material grievances different groups have.

The Soviets run a whole program of satellite interceptors in the 60s:

It was a maneuverable satellite designed to destroy an enemy satellite by collision. They even launched a special armored satellite that could be used as a target for multiple test interceptions.
A few years ago I had to commute from Orange county to Manhattan Beach. It takes 1 hour to get to the office (leaving at 5:15am in the morning) and 1.5 hour to get home (leaving at 4pm). By the time I got home I felt dead. It was a 30 mile trip. So to me the long commute is what makes WFH convincing.
A little bit of selling it. A little bit of acquisition guidance. And there are certainly some very obvious ways to monetize once they get enough market share.

I don’t understand why is it so unusual to simply judge each issue according to your individual reason, morals and the best data you can find, but I also lack a lot of group joining instinct. Apparently both sides prefer loyalty to being right. I’ve been wearing masks since February and have at various times run afoul of both sides as they politicized the issue differently as time went by.
Multiple mirror telescopes are a thing. They can be used to gather more light or increase the angular resolution.

Capital One Financial Corp. said data from about 100 million people in the U.S. was illegally accessed after prosecutors accused a Seattle woman identified by Amazon.com Inc. as one of its former cloud service employees of breaking into the bank’s server.

While the complaint doesn’t identify the cloud provider that stored the allegedly stolen data, the charging papers mention information stored in S3, a reference to Simple Storage Service, Amazon Web Services’ popular data storage software.

Are you kidding me? The entire neoliberal agenda is to defund social welfare programs and instead plunge that money into funding the police. It's easier and cheaper to repress disgruntled citizens than to fund social equity programs.

It's why you see low pay for teachers and grad students and adjuncts at universities, it's why mental health programs at schools are being axed and are being replaced with school cops, it's why transit sucks, it's why public spaces in the US suck.
I think that's the big advantage of FPGA. If you need acceleration to hit a 10 microsecond latency target, FPGA is what you need. If your latency target is like a millisecond or longer, then GPU can handle a lot more throughput. But GPU can't typically give you a 10-us guarantee.

Okay, bit-banging is another advantage of FPGA that GPU doesn't do as well. There are a few things.
Markets in everything:

Your salary is the balance between the leverage you have over the company and the leverage the company has over you. If they can get rid of you and hire someone remotely for half the price they will. If you want to stay in an expensive city while working remotely and the company can't do without you, they won't.

Your employer probably has to pay state taxes/state unemployment insurance, may have to ensure that they are filing certain state forms as an employer of a resident of a given state, may have to adjust health care policies to address state-specific requirements (or residency requirements of the plan they have, etc).

Unfortunately, given the run-amuckness of registration and compliance requirements, it probably is needed for your employer to know where you live (or at least in which state and local taxation/regulation entity).
(Googler, opinion is my own).

Technically, no. He's head of Commerce, which is different than payments (I'm in payments). You can see from that page, they do things like shopping listings, and the experience around it. Payments (at least at Google) is just a service that teams like that can use. You'll notice that checkout screens for shopping, ads, Youtube, Store, etc... are all very similar. That final payment experience is Payments.
yes, you're an asshole.
See! Even the definition of a centrist is political!
I understand that fringe political ideas can have a negative impact on the personal relationships in a work environment, especially for people in prominent roles.

However I guess the keyword is can. Tolerance should be exercised from all sides and political ideas should not be a motivation in and by themselves. However it's also true that the CEO of a company is in some cases him/herself a political figure, so I guess it depends on the case.
Yeah, I'd need to see some historical baselines before I care about these percentages. If they've stayed roughly flat for 100 years versus wild 50 point swings just in the last 5 years... those bring two completely different takeaways.
An SPAC is a public company already, so it would not be included here.

> Are you against this in principle,

Yep and for the same reason free speech is protected. Because nobody can be trusted with being the arbiter of correct speech, or which candidate to support. Sure, it sounds good for extreme right-wing examples, but there's no guarantee you can limit it to the worst extremes once people have that arbitrary power. Might be your job the mob decides to go after some day, because you chose the wrong candidate to support, according to whatever criteria they're using.

Also because donating to a presidential campaign has nothing to do with their work performance.

> It's not like starlink is a US only service and SpaceX is going to prevent anyone in India from having access.

I'm not sure this is entirely true. SpaceX is US corporation. They could easily decide to deny access, or otherwise limit what people can do, based on policies set by the US government.

See also, the GP post, referencing the East India Company.

EDIT: The point here is not whether StarLink is a net benefit or not. It's that it's a predatory capture of resources, fuelled by capital and advantages, which won't be passed down, but have a good chance of being used for further leverage.

EDIT2: I'm not against advancement, far from it, but if there are no tools to manage it, then we end up with oil companies again.
This is awesome! Definitely shortlisting senditall.email and droplist.
His remarks are open to interpretation. Note however that he said that "They're not sending their best". One could interpret that to mean that he believes Mexicans as a whole are a fine group of people, but that those who immigrate from Mexico to the US represent a "worse" subgroup of the total group. Charitably, I think this could be characterized as meaning somewhere from "many Mexican immigrants are rapists" to "a higher-than-normal proportion of Mexican immigrants are rapists". In fact we know that immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than the non-immigrant population.

And setting aside the close-reading and the statistics, we should not be naive about his intention, which is to characterize Mexican immigrants as dangerous criminals. Again, should I have to wonder if my coworker believes this about me or my family?

If you go by Joel Spolsky’s simple interview criteria - smart and get things done and think about the two characteristics in a quadrant. “Whether you can reverse a binary tree on the whiteboard” as the filter, completely optimizes for the “smart” and doesn’t test at all whether you can “get things done”.

I’ve interviewed and hired software engineers at small companies where we needed each software developer to be impactful. We needed someone with history of “getting things done”. We can’t tell that by your ability to do leetCode.

On a side note, an Amazon recruiter reached out to me about a software developer position on LinkedIn a few months ago. I knew I had no interest in going through an algorithm interview to prove I was “smart”.

I asked her could she put me in touch with someone from the AWS consulting side since I did have experience with “getting things done” from working for small companies in general and using many of the AWS fiddly bits specifically.

As I suspected, the entire loop was concerned with past projects and “tell me about a time when...”. I breezed through the interview without a single algorithm question even though I am actually doing some hands on the keyboard coding - implementations not sales.
These are so well thought out!

Everybody _wants_ faster chips, but for most people, the chip is in idle state 99% of the time. Outside of the data center and serious gamers, chip speed has been fairly irrelevant for years.
I’d agree on angular but for most the others including hangouts the problem is that it isn’t just an update - it’s an entirely new app/service. Meet isnt superseding hangouts - google is killing hangouts and offering a new app in its place. Can you imagine if Apple killed off iMessage, didn’t offer a way for people to transfer data and then just offered half the functionality to people in a new app? Google is an absolute shitshow these days.

You're not far off the description of parents of young and early school-age children. Kids are in school/daycare for part of the day, then at home, needing dinner, care, etc.
I'm fine with that, but I will work toward increasing the financial burden of unemployment insurance on companies who operate that way. Fair is fair.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, being without children (or having a dedicated space outside of the home) is important.

Kids don't understand time or space boundaries very well, and will interrupt your focus, your meetings, your work in general.

I have a colleague with kids and he was the first to volunteer back to the office.. I am without kids and I never want to go back.

This works out decently well, because he's alone: thus, safer than if we all came back.

But the issue is if there was more people in the office, then they would make decisions which the rest of us are not privy to.
That's really sad an unfortunate. My experiences have been great but have been slightly older machines that stood the test of time.

Remote meetings work best when they're frequent, short and small groups.

Good remote teams have better communication in my experience because very often "implicit" communication in an office means you think you communicated something but did not.

Making all communication explicit is a useful habit to into, and overall improves everything.
