it obviously depends on the firm in question. Of course there are smaller firms who are extremely successful and pay great wages, but in general large firms can leverage economies of scale and access to capital that small business does not have.

Your average salary at Google for the same sort of experience is higher than at a small startup, Volkswagen pays you better than most other companies in the region, working at a large Japanese multinational pays better than working at a small local company and so on, in particular if you include benefits like pensions and training and the investments those companies make in their workforce. Which is why they tend to attract a lot of talent. There's also an important aspect of specialisation, which tends to occur in large firms more than in small firms and boosts overall productivity. The firm size - wage gap is very well documented

It appears to be working fine now. I would like to read a postmortem to know what could cause this kind of problem. It propagated real fast and in a few minutes all DNS servers I tried to query aren't responding to br domains.
There was an article where they interviewed a bunch of burglars and asked them the best way to secure your house. First they listed off all the things that don't work, like alarms and cameras. Then they said:

- Number one, have a TV on. If they see a TV on they assume people are home and watching.

- Get a big dog. If they have to choose between a house with a dog and one without, they'll chose the one without.

- Get motion activated security lights. Always-on lights just provide extra light for breaking in, the motion sensors draw attention (although most robberies happen during the day so it's sort of a moot point).
That's cool actually. Not being in the browser is not a dealbreaker. I need something simple, not clunky, preferably free or low subscription cost. Checking out Robomongo as I write this.

Yeah I agree. Nearly all HDR photography is uninteresting to me because I’m attracted to contrasting light in the frame. Having everything in focus looks bland to me.

> Because ethanol evaporates too fast, which is the same reason why aviation still uses leaded gasoline

Not really. Most of commerical aviation doesn't use leaded fuel anymore, and general aviation uses leaded gasoline because it is technologically still mostly stuck in the sixties.
Reminds me of a friend from high school who was one of the smartest people I've ever known. In multivariable calculus we weren't required to do the HW if we didn't want to. He never did homework and never studied outside of paying attention in class and still got 100s on all the quizes/exams. He went to MIT and failed most of his classes his first semester there. He'd never had to study before so he didn't know how. Like Terence Tao though he's doing fine now.
Others have concluded that it doesn't make sense even with future technology. The energy density of hydrogen, while better than batteries, just isn't worth all the headaches.

For a similar cost to an extensive LH2 infrastructure, various diesel-from-air solutions could produce simple non-cryogenic hydrocarbon fuels. (CO2 + H2 = CHC + O2)
The article you posted is a good citation:

> According to the latest research from the Counterpoint Smartphone Channel Share Tracker service, the share of the online smartphone channels grew to 12% share of the total US smartphone sales in Q1 2018. Despite US consumers being massive online consumers, brick and mortar establishments remain king when it comes to purchasing smartphones.

>Carriers and national retailers have large store counts that they are leveraging to get consumers to physically touch and test high-end devices, so they know what they are buying. Stores also provide a better opportunity to up-sell accessories and insurance.

Amazon makes up 42% of online sales, which is only 12% of sales overall.

If you have ever been inside of a Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile store, you would be interested to see how their selections compare.
Ask HN: Clever ways to handle API access but avoid signup?
I’m working on an API to make it easier to try/adopt a certain technology.

I want to reduce friction and barriers to try the API.
I would like to avoid forcing the developer to sign up to get an API key.

Current ideas is to allow a developer to create there own API key on the first request, treating it like a secret.

However it would be good to have a way to contact the developer via email.

What are clever ways you’ve seen to reduce friction when trying an API?
On another side, one can argue that the implemented "unification" is anyway just for a convenience of using a dot call instead of just passing the reference to the object as the first parameter of a "plain" function call.

I'm a senior software engineer, experienced in a variety of languages and technology stacks. I'm looking for interesting and rewarding work, especially using Scala. I have experience in developing web applications using various UI stacks, but prefer backend development. I have experience as team lead, technical lead, and mentor. I am also a big proponent of automation, striving to make life easier for both developers and end-users.

Coworkers and friends look to me for programming advice and assistance in solving complex problems. I relish challenging projects. I strive to write exceptionally clean code, along with suites of thorough unit and integration tests. I am pragmatic, and bear performance in mind, however. Multiple times I've profiled and analyzed code and design, and identified opportunities to speed up and/or reduce footprint by a factor of 1000x or more.

I enjoy working on interesting and challenging problems, especially science-related ones, and on systems that impact large numbers of people. Contributing to open source projects would be a huge plus. I have experience working remotely, and with my background and abilities, I will be an asset to your team.

>There's been a lot of coverage around false-flag sorts of behavior in Portland

And has any of it found to be true?

I see a worrying amount of blame on invisible spies for actions that happen all the time in the real world without the need to sound like we are living in Red Scare 2.0.

To literally quote 1984:

>The most savage yells of all
came from the schoolchildren. The speech had been proceeding for perhaps
twenty minutes when a messenger hurried on to the platform and a scrap of
paper was slipped into the speaker's hand. He unrolled and read it without
pausing in his speech. Nothing altered in his voice or manner, or in the
content of what he was saying, but suddenly the names were different.
Without words said, a wave of understanding rippled through the crowd.
Oceania was at war with Eastasia! The next moment there was a tremendous
commotion. The banners and posters with which the square was decorated
were all wrong! Quite half of them had the wrong faces on them. It was
sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work! There was a riotous
interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds
and trampled underfoot. The Spies performed prodigies of activity in
clambering over the rooftops and cutting the streamers that fluttered from
the chimneys. But within two or three minutes it was all over.

Remembering that Markdown effectively started as a "discovered" syntax instead of an "invented" syntax.

```
Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters — including Setext, atx, Textile, reStructuredText, Grutatext, and EtText — the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.

To this end, Markdown’s syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually look like emphasis. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you’ve ever used email.
```

...at its core, Markdown was a codification of decades of habits found in README.txt files, and "footnote-style links" were unusual but relatively frequently used. They could be with numbers[0] or referring to a short abbreviation like [daring-fireball], and very likely the true origin was how a type-written page would have handled a footnote or reference.

> although aerosolization in medical settings where aerosol generating procedures are used is also another possible mode of transmission

I'm married to a physician and have been primarily following this through the eyes of her and her peers. In an acute care setting, aerosolization is a huge concern. It's a big factor between being able to get away with a surgical mask/face shield and requiring significant PPE.

In daily life, this probably isn't a huge concern (or a significant means of transmission at a public health level).
There was, but they got rid of the non-pro macbooks years ago to fix that.
So that's a great point, it seems this is a bad application of crude politics, that said, in general I still believe my points stand. It would be nice to have more specificity and clarity on the issues as opposed to the arbitrary attention of the Tweeter in Chief on the campaign trail.
Are you kidding? Most people make $50k not $500k. Lots of existing CEO's don't even make $500k.
Similarly I tried to get myself to exercise for years and years.

I must have discovered the same approach as this author.

I stopped any kind of thinking about it and focused on observing myself drive to the gym, get in the pool, do the strokes, etc.

If my verbal ("thinking") centers of my brain needed to say something I would only let them describe what I was doing ("You are driving to the gym", "you are putting your swimsuit on", etc.)

Never did I let any other "thinking" or "reasoning" enter the picture. It was all observation. I was able to keep an exercise routine for years this way.

---

I think her post fails in the last section "Do the easiest part first". This is too much thinking, reasoning and I think will backfire. She should delete this section. I think this idea is hard for people to understand. You want ZERO REASONING to come into the picture when the time comes, not even a shred. Only pure observation of you doing the task.

Similar boat as you. I bought the Pixel 2 XL and am still rocking it to this day. I just happen to be living in the States.

I think I'll be going for the 5, but the 4a does give me a pause. If I use it for another 3 years, I think buying the 5 is the better choice.
Masks Do More Than Protect Others: Reducing the Inoculum to Protect Wearers
Sure, Julia doesn't have an industry-tested QR code maker (though if you google you will find some options).

But it's worth noting that CSV.jl is a file that was entirely re-written in the past 6 months and has probably the fastest performance of any CSV parser currently used. It was written using pure julia and takes advantage of tons of Base-julia features as well as multi-purpose packages.

Julia's design makes it incredible easy to write the kinds of tools you want in a flexible way.
Because it is cryptographic authorization that allows to make payment, not just card details. You can read it, but card number is not enough to make payment in card-present mode.

Whole point of EMV is that card cannot be cloned, as is trivially done with magnetic stripe card. You can do relay attacks, but this is so cumbersome, with PIN required at higher amounts, that I doubt anyone actually does it in practice.
So one big difference between playing some video games and going to do something physical is, when you are a kid at least, there tends to be an adult guiding your experience during the physical stuff... at least some of the time. Think gym instructor, coach, trainer, etc. There really isn't any equivalent when gaming.

Well first of all there is little evidence on both sides of the argument here. There isn't much evidence in favor of aerosol transmission and there isn't much evidence against it either. I would hope that more research can be done on this matter.

Perhaps I worded my statement poorly. Let me try to be more precise about the idea I was trying to express. If COVID really is more aerosol infectious than we have been assuming then the 6 foot distancing would matter much less in comparison because if a cloud of infectious COVID droplets is whirling in the air currents that effect will tend to dominate in the sense that your exact location relative to the COVID+ source is no longer a direct causal factor. Yes of course being farther away makes it less likely that you will be in the path of a relatively short range aerosol cloud but the important thing in that circumstance is not to be in its path and just being farther away in the same room may not be enough to avoid it.

I don't deny that if someone with COVID coughs directly in your face which apparently was considered the dominant transmission vector at first you are also likely to be infected especially if you are not fully and properly masked and goggled. That must happen sometimes. Of course being at least 6 feet away from the closest person is a good thing. It is just the assumption that that is enough to keep people safe from COVID that should be questioned more.

Anyway my quibble with your post was the part about the guidelines being the same. They aren't really. The difference may be slight, but it could be critical.
I just did a quick amazon search - there are many versions of these plugs, there may be one that works well with the pixel.

I actually realized I can get usb-c / lightning covers as well, which is great as all my phones get lint in there, eventually causing problems with charging.
I had no luck getting people to use signal. Family thinks that I'm a freak because I try to make them understand that in socialist Denmark your communication is not secure from the government.

Got my mother a Nokia 7.3 - it's a very good phone priced competitively, with a nearly pure Android experience and on time updates with Android one. Peace of mind!
Ironically I'm in the opposite boat where I use bluetooth almost always except for when I'm in my car and wire it to the AUX. That's probably because my car is really old but also because it's nice to not carry my phone around everywhere when I'm listening to something. With bluetooth I just leave the phone on the table and can move around the house pretty freely.
That's fine; I don't think this is the general point. If you're trying to run a production system, need incredible robustness guarantees that somehow Julia cannot meet (which would be surprising to me), and require some specific things that Julia doesn't have, then sure, use Python. I'm just saying that, if you're a numerical scientist or engineer, go take a look at Julia and for most of these people it'll do everything and more than what they need. There will always be the pains of switching from one language/ecosystem to another and I'm not saying the tradeoff is worth it for everyone, but, if you can get development and performance speed up for a small tradeoff in learning curve, then I think it's worth at least trying it out, no?

EDIT: The parent post was edited somewhat (which means this comment and some siblings appear slightly out of place) and I heavily disagree with a lot of the issues raised. I will keep the current comment as is for the sake of completeness, but I think the parent's approach to criticizing Julia is somewhat disappointing.
I have a Pixel 2XL and it is still supported. I am participating in the latest android beta without any known-to-me model-specific issues.

It's true! I tested it because I thought it would be possible to just wait for readyState == 4 in a loop. My assumption was that XMLHttpRequest runs in another thread once you do send() on it. And indeed, the request starts immediately. But the instance of XMLHttpRequest doesn't get updated until control is yielded. So you can't get the goods. All considered, that is a good thing :-)
