It's clearly and intentionally more vibrant, which can be a synonym for "brighter", but no, it does not seem particularly more luminant.

Squinting very hard may help you see this. Another way is to overlap the two colors with interleaving stripes, and see how adjusting the chrominance differs perceptually from adjusting the luminance.
Meta-advice, don't take all the advice here too seriously :) People here don't know you situation as well as you do, and following too many different advice will lead you to not have any consistent direction.

So here are my humble thoughts on the website. I have no expertise in healthcare technology, so maybe that's the reason, but I could not understand what types of problems you are solving and what you are doing from your website.

1. For example, 'Reimagining Healthcare' is an empty phrase. All your sentences seem vague to me: "Comprehensive Healthcare Solutions and Integrations with FHIR, HL7 and SMART", are you consulting on how to create these solutions? are you developing these solutions? are you selling a created solution? Are you integrating somebody's else solution?

2. There is not a lot of connection to your company in your texts:
> Healthcare Data Interoperability and Analytics
> Standards like SMART and FHIR allow healthcare providers to store and share data in an interoperable manner which enables organizations to derive insights to provide effective care efficiently.

This is a good description of these standards and why they are important, but what is your connection here? If you are using these standards, then mention it directly. Maybe something like this is better:
> We use standards like SMART and FHIR to allow healthcare providers...
All other texts in Services section have the same problem.

3. I don't understand the Solutions section. It looks like a collection of icons and slogans. Let's take one example: Cloud. So I can guess that you are developing your solutions to be deployed on the cloud. But why make clients guess? Write it directly and mention why this is good. "Our solutions are deployed on cloud. This is good because <...>.".

4. This is just a suggestion. I would add a section of Problems that you can solve. Client come to your sites with problems. So I would write: "1. You have problem X? We can solve it by doing Y."

Overall, you have to think from the eyes of the client. What is the client looking for?

But again, I do not know anything about your field. I don't know who your clients, what problems they have, and what technology you are building. So you should be very quick to ignore this advice if you think I don't have the necessary understanding.

But regardless, good luck :)

Yess!! I'm probably going to be disappointed by this one, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Definitely the best 2020 news so far. HeXeN was one of most thrilling games of my childhood. It left a big impression on me. I even made a pretty creative balancing/fun mod for HeXeN using the source port Vavoom. I lost the code in a hard drive crash though.

The game was far from perfect and there are good reasons it didn't reach the popularity of DooM or even Heretic. What would you do to make HeXeN and HeXeN II more fun? Here's my take:

1. Both HeXeN games suffered from unfun level design. It was nice looking, but confusing to navigate, especially switch hunting. You alternatively had adrenaline rushes and pixel hunting. I think both provide a different experience and doesn't mesh better than Chess Boxing.

2. HeXeN classes don't really have distinct playstyles. They're all shooters at core except for Warrior/Paladin. More could be done to diversify them. In particular, no late game weapon was meant for up close.

3. The game is too linear and not very modular in its level design. You can warp to any Heretic level and start slaughter from that point. It was a legacy of DooM design which was originally meant to play with limited lives, arcade-style.

4. HeXeN 1 was notorious for "haha, you die!" traps that required either foreknowledge or LIGHTNING reflexes to dodge.

5. Low enemy variety compared to DooM 2. You kept fighting the same few dudes over and over, and 4 weapon limit per class is... not a lot, even with Tome of Power.

6. They should limit the ability to hog inventory items, for example like in Heretic where you can only carry 1 of each to next level.

7. HeXeN never rewarded people for finding secret rooms. It punished those who didn't find them, because instead of goodies they had switches and keys mandatory to progress. H1 and H2 had very few optional secret rooms.
To start with, "Senior" and related titles basically mean a person who doesn't need much hand-holding. This might be related to time spent, but often you find there's a lot of variation.

People I consider senior software engineers have a can-do-anything vibe about them. They have a wide range of skills in the field, and have that T-shaped experience profile: there's some area they seem to know everything about, and then they somehow are able to say something sensible about a whole lot of other areas. For instance I worked with a guy who wrote financial exchanges but could also write a modern front-end, understood how kubernetes worked, and knew a fair bit about databases. You couldn't throw out a term that he couldn't place (X is a language / framework / pattern / OSS project), and you couldn't come up with a problem that he didn't know the closest well-known adjacency for.

That's a vague outline of what I think a senior dev is.

To get there is a long story. I think you need the good fortune of not being siloed in something very specific or superficial. That might even include having the "good fortune" of being forced to change jobs a few times. You also need some luck in your personal life to be able to explore a bunch of stuff in your own time, plus some funds (probably less relevant today where everything is an online service).
Most interesting part for me:

It seems millennial achievement medals have now become job titles. Two years to become a senior engineer out of college is a joke. You only just know how to work in a general sense in that time frame, domain expertise comes much later. After a University degree, you only really know what page in your textbook to turn to when you recognise a problem. I come from a mechanical engineering background and it probably takes between 6-8 years to become a senior engineer, and it genuinely takes that long to learn enough so that you don’t harm someone with your shitty design.

A great part of the horror of a bad trip is how regular people treat someone who is experiencing one, or has been damaged by one. I would rank interactions with the police as a far greater danger than like an out of body experience into god knows what.

I have a buddy who did like 150 hits of LSD 20 years ago and there is a great sadness in him and how he can’t really share that experience with most people. People, who’ve never played around with LSD tend to become super condescending with him like he’s damaged.

The thing is, these studies or motions to incorporate psychedelics into therapy are never advocating for super human doses. I can definitely see the value in micro to moderate doses coupled with qualified therapy for non schizophrenic consenting adults. A full on like wizard trial into the nightmare heart of psycho hell with heroic doses of whatever is not what these guys are arguing for.

What other "~lite" or "~like" in the entire language as a similar property of being nothing like the "~" part?

That is up for Amazon to decide, but generally many countries already have established organizations. It should not be that hard for Amazon to hire one of the global market research networks to gather a suitable list.

You mean for new products? Why not mandate that all products that are sold on Amazon have to pass review by two or three of the trusted organizations as a condition of listing?

Well, a) the textbook answer for not enough sales is to add sales power
b)any important function should have at least 2 ppl (so if one is at a trade fair, sick holiday etc, the other can continue) and also the team can discuss ideas how to progress

Edit (since reply depth is reached): more ppl might have also different ideas what to do

I still mantain one of the problems is not enough ppl in sales. There there might be more problems: probably, but it is not my company (meaning if other people want to figure out the other problens: go ahead)

Of course also one of the programmers can take over this role. (Aptitude assumed)

This is a very subjective question. I think a senior engineer is an engineer who can develop features without hand-holding. The technical leader should be able to say, "Develop feature X. These are the requirements." and then not worry.

But what "senior engineer" means varies from company to company. So it becomes a loose term.

For those thinking it's crazy, consider how we assume seeing trigger warnings for rape etc before certain content are normal and approved in our societies.

It could be simply a cry for a trigger warning: this lecture may contain words which sound similar to words which cause trauma. Sounds okay to me.

I predict that you will see these trigger warnings before Chinese subtitled films, lectures which talks about the Chinese language at the very least within a year. The university is ahead of the curve, this is progress and a natural extension of current protections against reliving past trauma.

If trigger warnings in general are also considered crazy, to say so would get you instantly fired in every YC startup and silicon valley corporation.

I think what the original author is hinting at is happening for years now. Maybe op meant something like Negerkuss or Mohrenkopf (Negerkuss now is Schokokuss or Aufgeschaeumte Zuckermasse mit Schokoglasur) and Zigeuner-Sausse/Schnitzel (this one was only recently).

And yes I got the feeling that american culture and american "stuff" is slowly but surely pouring over and I hope that misused words like the now "default meaning" of racism (racism in america can now "only be applied" to minorities whereas, of course, racism can in every country of the world can be had against any other "race") will stay an american thing and not be copied by us.
Agree with Paras there, VWO was not a follower, they started at the same time. These things are actually funny - I even started Kameleoon before Optimizely (early 2008), but we developed our visual editor first and did not apply it to AB testing at the beginning. We made a (successful) pivot at the end of 2011 and have been focusing on CRO since, becoming competitors to Optimizely & others.

Calling Optimizely's competitors simple followers is clearly an over-simplification and a bias from the VC/SF crow indeed. As Paras pointed out, every actor in the field had their firsts in the market (some of Kameleoon's examples: our anti-flickering technology, our aggregation features in our reports / data engine, our automatic cross-device history reconciliation or our full ITP support). In many ways, Optimizely tech is now trailing behind today.

However it's true that Optimizely (and to a lesser measure, VWO) did a lot from the marketing side to develop the market, and we benefited quite a bit from that. We're definitely grateful to them :)
> This is a very subjective question. I think a senior engineer is an engineer who can develop features without hand-holding. The technical leader should be able to say, "Develop feature X. These are the requirements." and then not worry.

In pretty much all companies those were just called "software engineers". Seniority requires decision making and longterm leadership skills, not just implementation work.
> People I consider senior software engineers have a can-do-anything vibe about them.

I feel I can do anything as well, because if I can't then I will simply find a way to learn it, because to me it's not a question of whether I'm capable of learning it but how fast I'm capable of learning it. So I'd be careful with that vibe as a heuristic ;-)
My experience is people in "senior" roles are more often than not people who pushed to be put in those roles regardless of how much experience they may or may not have. I know people placed in "senior" roles at 19-21yrs old. I'm not saying age is a qualifier but in this case it was clear they didn't have any special skills. But once they were given the role it carried them through their career. With the title on their resume they continually got hired and higher and higher levels.

I don't see what this has to do with millennials. Leaving aside that "achievement medals" were generally made for the sake of the parents and not the child, it certainly wasn't millennials who came up with, say, the idea that banks should have thousands of vice presidents.

In any case, it is absolutely possible to have significant domain expertise in software engineering two years out of school. When you're seeing results of the things you build within minutes, you can pick up experience quickly. I agree that you still have a lot to learn, and I did, but I was meaningfully capable of providing technical leadership two years out of school.
No link between solar activity and earthquakes - https://phys.org/news/2013-04-link-solar-earthquakes.html

OK, don't trust scientists.

I don't like this line. You don't jump from "No" to this -

"The significance of such correlation is very high, with probability to be wrong lower than 10^–5. "

Not sure what this is, but it doesn't look good -

"We choose to create 10^5 synthetic data sets, using the real data inter-event time intervals randomly combined."

This is a big deal. This affects economic markets, humanitarian aid and is pretty interesting science about how the earth and planets work.
