Although I admit my idea looks less probable this way. It's still less ridiculous to me that not using keyboard or mouse data.

But on the other hand they may be afraid of people screaming "Google is sending your keystrokes to their servers" etc.
Also because the pattern of the game is more visible and easier to grasp and also easier to asses whether you find the logic of the game compelling or not. And that combined with some creativity can take your mind/imagination somewhere else. Games which are immediate depictions of reality or very detailed kind of keep you right there, there's too much going on to give the imagination some leeway. The same is true for films, music, etc.

You can't really compare JS to Google or Facebook. It's still a company of < 1000 people, I think. I've never worked at a FAANG, though I've worked at companies only ~1 order of magnitude smaller. Any of these might have changed in the last few years since I left.

* Very flat hierarchy and very limited bureaucracy. At JS there's like at most two people between you and the folks who run the place.

* JS is technically isolated. They're not really part of the same conversation as the web-focused and much more public tech giants are. Lots of NIH, custom hand-rolled solutions. Maybe part of that is a consequence of going all-in on an ecosystem (Ocaml) that basically only you use and run, maybe part of that is that really smart people love to invent their own better solutions to problems, maybe part of that is that most of what JS does is either, like, command-line/TUI apps for traders to interact with or trading systems where a proprietary technical advantage is where you get your edge.

* There's a particular Jane Street "way of thinking". Another comment on this thread exemplifies it pretty well [1] - technocratic and rationalist. If you don't fit into that mould you'll feel out of place, if you can even get hired at all.

* More of a 9-6, butt-in-chair mentality than at other tech jobs I've worked. There's some flexibility about the 9-6 thing (and 9-6 can be pretty optimistic at times), but they're limited by the nature of the markets. At the time and for me, anyway, there was zero possibility of ever doing any work at home. COVID may have changed this.

* There's still things clubs, office events, and perks, but to a lesser degree and more informally than at larger companies. It feels more like working a regular job at a real business. JS is also a lot smaller and more homogenous (see above), so less of that is needed to create social cohesion.

If you have specific questions, or can elaborate on what your "negative perception" entails, I can probably comment further.

One more thing: you can't get a desktop-style tab bar on top anymore, instead you are forced to use the tab button to open the view with all your tabs on it.

Previously you could go to Android Settings => Developer Options and increase 'Minimum width' / 'Smallest width' which would make the phone think its screen was physically bigger, making it so that the Android UI elements were no longer hilariously large and making Firefox switch to the tablet view with the tab bar, well before the point where the UI got too small to use/read.

I figure it'll be a number of years before Android updates make FF 68.x stop working, and while security updates do happen I doubt any of the websites visited by the types of people on HN are going to be compromised and running exploits for old Android FF versions. Plus you have the Android permissions/sandboxing stuff.

If you're going down to the "fixed function chips must also be open" realm, you'd also need an open source FPGA (or to use PDK to try to tape out) for the OpenWifi design. My read is that currently OpenWifi is also tied to proprietary Xilinx IP cores like the Xilinx Viterbi Decoder.
I had switched away from FF to use Chrome predominately a few years ago, for a mix of various reasons. Performance being a big one. But I've been thinking more about the whole browser monoculture issue, and the importance of Mozilla and Firefox for the Open Web in general lately, so about a week or two ago I started switching back to Firefox as my primary browser. So far, so good. Performance feels pretty snappy so far, and I haven't run across many rendering issues, and none that really matter.

All in all, I'd say that if you have been considering Firefox, now might be a good time to give it a shot.

This is all, BTW, in reference to the desktop version (Linux specifically) not mobile.

I'm sorry, but again, none of that stuff has anything to do with "brutalism" which has been made a complete buzzword for the last 4 years, just because "design needs trends". No it doesn't. Design for your audience and don't follow "trends".
It's highly variable. I've had Prime packages take anywhere from 1-5 days. Just yesterday I ordered two items on Prime, one has already been delivered and the other one might not be here until the end of the week. Both items are fulfilled by Amazon.

Given the substantial increase in online shopping prompted by the pandemic, Amazon is doing pretty well. Other retailers are doing much worse, including Walmart which has been the least reliable shipper I've bought things from.

Amazon's ability to adapt while other companies are falling on their faces is pretty impressive all things considered.

I hope I didn't make it seem like I was pushing the solution onto others when I said that it will move outside the domain of computer science. My research is in the area of detecting deep fakes.

You're definitely right about how little we attend to the consequences of our advancements, especially in the field of AI/ML. This area is fraught with ethical and moral issues that have taken a backseat to the ideal of progress and I think we are making a mistake there.
> moving money around isn't that societally valuable

I would say hedge funds have massive negative social value (especially quant/HFT ones), and actively contribute to wealth inequity. Robert Mercer is a prime example of this. Not saying I think your friend is a bad person or should quit, but it's kind of a naive justification.

I've never really thought too much about the font industry of the past - this is quite the interesting read.

The font he's created is great. I wasn't fond of the sharpness initially, especially when the text is blown up, but it reads wonderfully when it's at a 'normal' text size.

I must confess - I had no idea fonts were so expensive to license! (Not a criticism of the cost, just ignorant until now).

What Ever Happened to Netscape Navigator?
I actually tried to stop the spam mail to my house.

I took a mailbox full, just 2 days of mail, 99% spam, and took it into my local post office. Plopped the mail on the counter and told the clerk I no longer wanted to receive mail from any of these advertisers.

Of course the clerk couldn't help me. USPS makes too much money delivering junk right to your mailbox. What a great system we're engineered here, where our national carrier service primarily slups junk mail around the country, and won't stop because it's one of their most profitable side-hustles.
They only did that so they could shift the blame/responsibility of making the classification to website operators instead of themselves.

This manifests as a technical sales role in the "Customer Success" organization or a post-sales implementation consulting role in the Services organization.

It's effectively a "retention" sales role or consulting role for SaaS companies who value recurring revenue.

It may feel less "sales-y", but ultimately your compensation is usually dependent on recurring revenue or billed hours.

The experience in these organizations will be highly dependent on the culture of the technical sales team and the kinds of customers you work to enable. Which is usually a derivative function of the kind of market your company addresses.
I don't see how that makes it "a bad way to look at it" I didn't discuss the implications of likely changes in precipitation at all. Just stated what kinds of changes are likely in my opinion.

I also don't think the consequences as easy to predict as you think. For example cross crops may transpire less because of their pores being closed more due to higher CO2 concentrations. That may be good, depending on the crop and location. There will be higher flow in most rivers, and by association most lakes (but offset by higher evaporation) which could be good both for humans and irrigation. I think the answer is complicated and difficult to predict.

Current unsustainable practices with respect to both soil and groundwater depletion will still be unsustainable.

Parts of California are not a great place to grow crops sustainably, at least not the kinds of water and soil intensive crops currently grown. That may increase or decrease on the whole over time due to climate change, it's tough to say with any certainty.
They probably should have thought about that before they purposely violated their developer agreements...

Why bother connecting the solar arrays to the habitat? Just hook them up to microwave transmitters and beam the power to the cylinders. That way you can have the solar arrays anywhere it's convenient, maybe even in position to shade the entire colony so that the heat disposal problem is less of an issue.
Np :)

Its a long story but involved first developing a friendship and months of fighting feelings of loosing control until giving in and replacing the fear of rejection by a fear being abandoned and being jealous as a result. Actually it is a miracle she became my wife later on... We first met in a bar, our friends knew each other. We went swimming weekly with a small group of friends and started doing more and more together. It was the time of the first sms text messages, what a time that was, now I almost feel old...
I don't find this blunt, it's your experience.

For what it's worth, I've a experienced a fair range of what is possible. I've worked on local, mixed, and remote teams in both IC and lead roles.

This experience has led me to believe that: (a) it is possible to have good cohesion in a remote group (b) it is harder to do and (c) it is especially hard to do with a new group & company. Perhaps less universally (d) it's really hard with mixed hardware/software groups.

It's undoubtedly true that lots of large organizations do it, with varying levels of success but generally pretty well (there are exceptions). It's also true that they invest a fair amount into making this work, in my experience, and the infrastructure matters.

I've experienced very well functioning remote groups, less so mixed remote/local - but I certainly believe it's possible. It's always required more effort and intention, and they've never quite reached the same level of cohesion as some small local teams.

As you note though, YMMV.

Also I didn't mean to suggest "remote work == just a paycheck" though I can see how that might be ambiguous.

The question is when were the first skeletons in America first shown to have had syphilis, if it's earlier than the 1400's and in Europe there were none, the question is settled.
I'm also very interested in the details. According to their website they are paying Google to provide them with the results. But the revenue streams to startpage are not provided on their homepage (or at least I haven't found them yet).

Edit: https://support.startpage.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Artic... This gives additional information. Apparently they are showing ads that are only related to the search terms. I guess they are showing more ads than Google? Otherwise this wouldn't really make sense. Or maybe individualized advertisements in the search results aren't that much of a big money-maker for Google (!)

That's correct. You might have invented the "better mousetrap" but no one might want it. Product, yes, market no. You don't validate the solution, you validate the market. The market fit is the solution fit with the market, not that you have a solution that the market doesn't want.
Out of curiosity, how many windows/tabs? I routinely launch FF with dozens of windows/hundreds of tabs and I've never had macOS kernel panic in that case.
They still do - it's an option on more expensive devices (Paperwhite and Oasis).
Organizations are made of people, at all levels. You are not trusting or not of an abstract entity, you are dealing with a lot of people that you don't know from the present and the future, any of them that can use or abuse of the information they are gathering, in individual level or more related to policy level, or act based on that information.

Also it is not about crime, is about control, for whatever agenda they have now or later. And the lack of Snowden level leaks in 7 years hints at which point they have control now.

Wow! The numbers, 837 PB/day. 18.6B events/s. I wonder who is the biggest player in logging/monitoring and what's their rate of ingestion/processing is, how much do they store and their infrastructure efficiency/usage is.
Yeah, my grandmother would mash the PB and banana together into a delicious, homogenous mush and then spread that one the bread. Thanks to the magic of imprinting, I believe this is the Correct way to make a PBB, and if you disagree, I'll cut you.

Despite its obvious optimality, the Homogenous Mush approach creates extra dishes. So, as a lazy undergrad, I used the circles method for a long time. Sometime in grad school I had the long-cut epiphany, and tend to do that most of the time now.

(The other downside of the circular method is that they're more likely to try to jump out of the sandwich, since they have less contact area.)

Oh, and one other solution, which is great for long bike rides: Switch out the bread for a flour tortilla, and throw some honey in the mix as well. Fits in an undersaddle bag and beats the hell out of a clif bar.
Thanks for this! Managing Kafka and topics can be messy at times, so a really welcome addition to apply more robust Kafka changes.

Am I missing something here?

Why is this about Columbus, the skeletons are dated mid 1400's - 1600's.

This is quite ridiculous. This is like that one star that is like 80 million years older than the Big Bang, in the estimated age range.
I mean it is of course a complex system and not meant to be interpreted too simplistically. The gist of my point is, never estimate the power and effect of marketing, media, bureaucracy, laws, and policies on collective human behavior.

A few big corporate tech players are increasingly growing in power to influence/control collective behaviour. Which includes funding internal departments to lobby to change laws based on some agenda. Those laws control human behaviour.
Those tech organisations also determine the information flow of: words, symbols, images, effectively culture. There is a reason why militaries invest money in meme warfare for example, and these organisation effectively have that power.
What would a "true" brutalist font look like?

Brutalism is about exposing the materials used in construction (i.e. the raw concrete is visible). So maybe a font that also shows its own spline control points?
