How do you have solid grasp on what the average is? I googled "Python web salaries Melbourne" and the answer came back at the top from Indeed at $750 per WEEK. I wouldn't apply for something paying $39000 per year in a city that is incredibly expensive. Payscale[.]com had it at $73k for Python (not just web) as an average, still not that high but you should expect a few applicants.
Well, only to the extent that the management of small amounts of logs is not very interesting. There is not an ACM SIG for very small databases.

Anyway, GPDR requires you to have a purpose for any log that contains any IP address. Keeping logs for undefined purposes and unlimited time frames is not ok any more.

You elide the parenthesis. They are as unnecessary when speaking Lisp code aloud as saying "comma", "period", or "question mark" are in everyday conversation.
as an aside, i get a little weary of "corporate support voice" as you exhibit here, when representing a company, including the initial "thanks!" and "restating the problem" multiple times so the customer feels (accurately) heard. you could have just said,

"We haven't seen drop offs in conversion so far, mainly because we verify after checkout, not before.", which answers the question more directly and succinctly.

no offense to you of course. it's better to get an overly verbose, but still informative, response than none. and the product looks genuinely useful to online businesses.

But not if you want to trade certain contracts positions.

For example I'd like to sell some covered calls for my AMZN as a hedge against a correction later, but since I don't own $300k+ of AMZN share, I literally cannot sell a single call contract.
Well they are magical until you need to do something a bit more complex, like window functions, where they’ll not work again. I’ve worked around this by using indexed views for sub parts of a larger regular view but it feels a bit hacks since you need to hint the server to actually use the indexed view or it will just use it as a regular view which I don’t understand the reasoning behind.

But for simple things they’re magical.
This is probably the largest driver.

And you are using this as an argument why authors don't need income? Surely they didn't write anything after they starved, so it seem lack of income did affect the output.

> My job funds the rest of my life. That's it. Why should I get attached to a job?

Unrelated to the WFH vs. Office topic (WFH works for me, but I am an open source lifer and used to distributed community - and got amazing friendships out of it), but: This is a mindset I never understood or could relate to.

Doesn't it make you depressed that you need to spend 8+ hours of your life on something you don't really care about? It's time you don't get back, ever. For me the #1 req for a job is that I care and think it's worth doing, because it's part of my life.

I'm not attacking your values there, I'm just wondering how you can be OK with the time loss. I think it also reads on having a healthy relationship with the employer as an employee - do your best not to waste my time.
It is a matter of "less dysfunctional with regulation" as opposed to not being dysfunctional with regulation unfortunately.

There are a lot of legitimate things to complain about with banking and its regulations but despite the many misconduct scandals in banking they are still better than unregulated parabanks. The scandals haven't been in the form of "and the head ran off with all of the money and nobody can find it or them".

Regulations certainly could be improved in multiple directions but dysfunction is not a binary.

10 direct reports don’t work from a management sense unless some folks are expected to operate very independently or if the reports themselves are second level managers, or the manager is only nominally “managing” a time card or whatever.

Management to me means you are accountable for output. I can’t be aware enough of what 10 different people/teams are doing to be meaningfully accountable for a longer period of time. It’s not fair to me and certainly not fair to the people not getting the support they need.

In my professional life, I’m responsible for a team of ~200, with 5 direct reports. It’s a mix of engineering and product/service teams. We aim for teams of 4-5 with two functions each. The secret is to be as honest as you can, have high standards, and be flexible.
Fission creates neutron embrittled materials and steels as well. And yes we tend to store them until they can be safely disposed.

On iOS, which is by far the most lucrative market since Apple captured the high end with a superior experience in the fundamentals (the phones are better, the OS is smoother, etc etc), there is no third-party appstore. None. Will people trade UX for freedom? Absolutely, in the same way they eat at McDonalds because it's better value for money. It doesn't mean McDonalds is the be-all of food, or that we should accept all other restaurants will die and allow McDonalds to run a racket whereby nobody can serve a burger in the whole city.

On Android, half the system is geared towards integration with the Play Store. It's like your fridge only had McDonalds-shaped holes and was preconfigured to order McDonalds for you in a flash. If you wanted to cook, you'd need to order a stove somewhere, sometimes you'd have to learn how to install gas pipes too. Are you ever going to learn to cook, in those circumstances? Fuck no, you're going to click a button and order McD.

There is no market because the platform owners actively ensure that would be the case. They looked at the 90s and thought "Microsoft didn't make enough money, they were too liberal". That's just shameful greed.
I’m not sure. If Facebook had been more surgical to send less traffic to clickbait listicles, but more to Prestigious Investigative Journalists, would the outcome have been the same? Did the unemployed listicle authors find their passion and become serious journalists working the tech beat?
I mean, my family's investment company is far, far from being an institutional investor, but the math is pretty solid. If our plan is to buy Apple and sell it in the next six months if it rises by 15% then it is pretty easy to justify selling the calls with a strike at 15%, which I know isn't perfect because if something substantial changes at Apple (a new product, say) then in the case where the calls weren't sold you could re-evaluate your target, but that type of event doesn't happen too frequently and if we would have put a sell order at 15% above anyway it's a near-free increase in returns. Because inflation eats the first couple percentage points and taxes don't take that into account the delta in gains does stack up over time.

Selling puts, though, is a fools game unless the market has already really tanked. Black Scholes isn't perfect, yadda, yadda.
> Houses are ~$10K/month and up.

That's way high. A million-dollar house on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, assuming a 20% down payment, is ~4800/month including property tax. With a 10% down payment it would be about $5800/month.

To get to a $10k/month housing bill you need to buy a place that costs close to $2 million. The median sales price in Santa Clara county is closer to $1.3 or $1.4 million. Most people are paying a lot less than $10k/month for their house.
I plugged in some routes I am familiar with here (Sydney) and it did a great job at picking the roads/paths I would personally choose!

I do agree with 'overlordalex' on the 'Close Route' button. I couldn't find it at first and 'close' seems like a weird verb to use for 'clearing' the current route. Unless I am misunderstanding what the button is supposed to do. I would personally have a 'Clear' button somewhere close to the 'Get route' buttons (but then again I am no UI/UX expert :)).
But is it a disruption if they operate as a larger version of an already successful phenomenon ?

I’d see how a service like Streetview would be seen as disruptive because of bringing a fringe fonctionnality to a mass market in a unprecedented scale.

But I feel like calling Facebook disruptive is like saying Samsung is revolutionnary, by the sheer massive number of smartphones they sell.
Understanding SEO
In last ten years, SEO has been changed drastically with an enormous growth in competition. Becoming as experienced and knowledgeable in this subject as possible, therefore, can only be of benefit to all businesses who advertise online. I wrote a book to give an overview of some different aspects of SEO and provide a selection of resources for further study.
(9) Talking in a group. It seems to me with gestures you can understand only one person at a time. Though maybe deaf people who use sign language have a good way to handle this.
They don't compete though. Google offers 17+GB free with email, office suite, unlimited photos, drive and Voice with a free number for unlimited calling and texting. Dropbox has much stricter bandwidth limits as well.

For $9.99 you get all that plus 2TB storage with Google One. Dropbox has a minimum for of 3 users for their business plan, but with 1 user on G Suite for $12/mo I get unlimited storage and all the Goodies I mentioned before.
Brute-force numeric techniques are more fun on GPUs by the way.

4096 SIMD cores (163840 "CUDA threads" I guess) on a Vega64 at 1.5GHz with single-clock add / subtract / multiply / AND / OR / XOR instructions. Brute force is surprisingly parallel, because there's no "shared information" between threads. So its super easy to program and parallelize.

I started searching 40+ bit numbers to see how far up I could go while staying under 1-minute runtimes.

-----------

If you can keep your program state in under 100-bytes, so that your entire program fits inside of the Register-space of GPUs... things go fast. Extremely fast.
I think GPT-3 is a technical marvel but it did not reveal anything about language that wasn't already known by linguists for at least a 100 years.

> Personally, I think temp-to-hire or work-for-a-day type models could work

I've seen the contract-to-hire stuff come back up recently. There are a couple big flaws with that model, beyond possible abuse, though.

1) You basically are excluding yourself from any candidate that still has a full time job. It would be crazy for them to leave their current gig for a place that might not actually bring them on full time.

2) It doesn't scale, bringing on new team members properly takes time and effort. Not only are you potentially wasting their time, you are also wasting your team's time, and you can only do this kind of evaluation so many times.

I do agree though that the standard interview model doesn't make sense. Memorizing leetcode problems doesn't map to good engineering, and take home problems filter out a lot of good engineers that won't bother spending the extra time.
> I don't agree that unless you're getting paid, your literary work is fanfiction or unprofessional.

That is kind of the definition of professional though.

Writing, like any other skill, takes time and practice to master. If you can't dedicate yourself full time you will not reach your highest potential. And it requires some form of income to be able to dedicate yourself full time. Just like a professional pianist will be better than an amateur.

You reminded me of the last time I spent money on a laptop before mac. Well, it wasn't me, it was my parents.
For half the price of new mac air, I got a Toshiba budget notebook. It barely lasted 2 years, which was the amount it's "anything happens" warranty expired - which wasn't really anything happens. The CD ROM just didnt slide back in totally one day and stuck. The shift key got so fucked up I had to disable it preboot or I'd be stuck with caps. Fun times. Never again. Made me appreciate macs way more when I got one.

I guess the argument is that the restaurant industry does it all the time - hell, hiring a designer will often involve assigning them a project, having them give a presentation on it, and asking questions about their portfolio.

We tend to put more trust in end product in that regard more than any specific process (like quizzing them on the process to create a specific animation in After Effects or on interaction cost or cognitive ergonomics).
It'd be less likely than with the currently selling calculators. Are we seeing modchips now? I don't think so.

Of course it is always possible to fully replicate the calculator. I'm sure there is a Chinese factory that could do it. Stopping a trademark violation like that is the job of the port inspection and customs enforcement people. The situation becomes like illegal drugs, but with much lower demand and much more difficult production.

Simply replacing the chip is some serious electronics work. These aren't socketed DIP chips. They aren't even BGA. TI puts the bare naked silicon chip right on the board, bonds wires from it to the board, and then covers it with a blob of black glue.

My suggestion of clear plastic makes this even harder. Modifications would need to look normal. The part of the board between the SD card socket and the CPU should have a minimum of clutter and a colorful boarder box, making it easy to see where one should look for modifications.
That's how small/medium companies stay small/medium for the most part though. I don't think the solution to this problem is "give up" =/

From what you say both of you are founders. It sounds weird to me that the other founder wants to officially name a founder somebody joining now (I presume you are in it for a few months) but is refusing to call you a founder.. The reason you mentioned sounds like excuse - if this other exec would have issues acknowledging your position then to me it would rise solid red flag.

I find it difficult to understand why would the other founder take a risk of potentially breaking your relationship (or if your relationship is stronger than that then it would probably leave a scar).
This is why I still love Ruby on Rails. I can rapidly build something robust and throw it up on Heroku with no issues. I recently built a little thing for myself and had it built and hosted within a few hours.

How can this technology, and the data it collects, be used against individuals for purposes such as discrimination? For example, against slower types could be discriminated against.

Do you see this being a centralized service such as through Google so that a profile can follow a user from company to company as well as offline. How do you see that centralization impacting anonymity on the internet? Along those lines, how long has the NSA been using this on us?
Here's something else that seems to support the gesture-first hypothesis. A friend of mine worked in an institute for severely developmentally children. Many had little or no spoken linguistic ability, but most of them had a considerable ability to learn sign language. That makes me think gesturing came first.

They don't, but...

Google has brand recognition, and an enormous recruiting pipeline so they can hire one in 50 or 100 candidates.

They are better able to select for great candidates because they have more data and much more sophisticated system for identifying talent.

They pay very high salaries so they can retain top talent.

The average candidate that applies to Google is going to be a better than the average candidate that applies to a small/medium shop.

A small medium shop that tried this would be chronically and severely understaffed with a high turn over and would probably still fail at finding the best candidates.

If you are a small or medium sized shop and really need top level talent the best thing to do is probably just hire googlers and netflixers and pay them a market rate of 400-500k a year.

But for most products it's not worth it because the end product wouldn't be materially different enough from an average developer building it to justify the cost.

Also most small to medium shops could improve engineering quality by taking the Netflix approach which is getting better at firing people, and compensate them for the lack of job security with cash.
There were threads on the internet about thousands of people permanently losing their phone numbers to Google Fi, and having no way to get them back, ever. Google didn't do a thing. Automated systems and disempowered minimum wage drones all the way down.

Basic outline was that Google Pay would mark something as suspicious, and refuse to take payments. Payments would stop to Google Fi, resulting in the number / service being frozen. At that point, the whole thing would grind to a halt:

* No way to pay Google

* Overdue payments and accumulating problems

* No way to port number out with overdue account

All based on Google's automated systems falsely triggering suspicious activity detection.

It didn't happen to me, but I would never, ever, ever even consider Google Fi. I have T-Mobile. Not very competent, but I talk to a human being every time, and if there are problems, they escalate to people empowered to fix them.

I don't know if I would classify Apple products as strictly luxury, certainly not in the same sense as a Casio vs a Rolex, a Jansport vs Gucci, or a studio vs a 1 bedroom, Honda vs a BMW, staycation watching Disney+ vs trip to Disney.

When I think of cutting back on luxury, I am looking for things with a very high incremental cost to incremental value ratio. Apple products could be one but it would be farrrr down the list speaking for myself and others I know.

There are small communities that predate modern web/Facebook, which is irrelevant. There is also craigslist, and its shitty design is remarked upon constantly. It's frequented by the elderly so falls outside the scope of discussion.

You're married to the idea that design standards haven't changed, or that the web as a platform hasn't become much more sophisticated over the last ~decade.
