No, I’m saying that the parent comment suggesting bidding is not a good idea.

I’m hiring an H1B since that person has the right skills, and I’m hiring Americans as well (who might take lower salary and stock options initially). Putting something like auction for H1B means another competitive advantage to big tech over me.

>> Business model is broken

For startups, yes you’re working with constraints that seem impossible - you should encourage people to do hard things and build businesses, not give up - this is still US.

And yes I hired 10 engineers in India, and they’re paying taxes there. I’d rather hire them here and have them pay taxes here. In next few years, the founding engineers will start their own startups in India and not here, I want them to do startups here.

We’re screwing up by reducing supply of engineers, reducing supply of housing in US, and starving startup ecosystem.
My thought was, if I knew it was being thrown out, I would be more careful about what I buy. I suspect a lot of people would feel the same way. It's like a mini trolley-problem, but for the guilt of throwing something perfectly good in the trash.
It's not that the components are cheap. They are, but that's not the problem. The problem is that the sensor package is impossibly tiny because it's a webcam. You need more light--and by the standards of that tiny sensor package you are in fact sitting in an unlit room because it's just not getting enough light not to crank up the exposure and kill your framerate.

This is a universal problem regardless of webcam and regardless of laptop manufacturer, even Apple.

To fix this, you either need to give it the light it wants or get a better sensor/lens package--and in this case, "better" means "bigger".

Which is why you buy a mirrorless camera when you're serious about decent video in your office.
I thought the older ones weren't designed for it - they weren't designed to hold the shutter open, or use the sensor for long periods of time.

I assume that has changed.

Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I, and the foundational mindset of "secret services" in Anglo-sphere ("5 eyes") explains everything.

The modern secret services are based on British Empire's model, itself an outgrowth of Elizabethan intelligence services.

The reason the "5+J eyes" -- btw, Israeli eyes don't count? -- insist on knowing everything about everyone in "the realm" is because Catholics and Protestants were having a very nasty, and very bloody, power struggle in England. The queen of england had reasons to fear her own subjects, and the "intelligence services" that supported her certainly viewed say 1/2 of the English population as potential enemies.

This is their mindset. Nothing will change this state of affairs until the current ruling set is booted, once and for all. They've had a multi-century run. Time to take a bow.

Your question has been answered multiple times in this thread and the answer appears to clearly be no. Apple will not allow an app to even mention that they can get it at a cheaper price on another device. Personally, I think if Apple will continue to insist on this anti-competitive behavior, iOS users should just pay the 30% more for their subscriptions (so app developers end up with the same revenue) for the benefits you describe unless they're savvy enough to actively look for other payment options on desktop, Android, etc.

So just to be clear, as it seems the other poster is quite confused, whether waves are "physical" or not is independent of whether their traverse waves or density waves. Sound is an example of density waves. The waves at the interface between the ocean and the air are gravity waves. Both are physical.

EM waves are physical as well, they just are in the EM field itself, rather than having a medium like matter.

8) small server case with space for gpio breakout inside and ports either routed to the back or through grommets

I don't track that, but based on last time when I broke the fallback... it is important to have the fallback. There are cases where MathJax can handle input that is technically not valid in modern latex, and the katex devs explicitly decide not to support that input. My users don't care and have lots of content that works in mathjax only, so I have to support it (since Jupyter compatibility is important, and Jupyter uses mathjax).
>By analogy, plenty of people find reading Homer, Shakespeare, or Nabokov difficult and challenging, but we don’t say “Macbeth is unreadable.” We understand that the problem lies with the reader.

Why does the responsibility Have to be solely on the reader? There's plenty of code out there that's unreadable because of the coder, how is this outside of the realm of possibility? Why is all the onus and bias on the reader?

For example, readable:

measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox = 200;

versus unreadable (an acronym of Left Bottom Side):

LBB = 200;

Just like English, programming languages rely on the talent writer and on the abilities of the reader At the same Time.

The best code is code written by a talented programmer who can make the code readable to All people of All skill levels.

One thing people get confused about is readability and elegance. Obviously "measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox" is readable but not elegant. While "LBB" is certainly elegant but not readable. My philosophy is readability over elegance, but you will find many programmers are unaware of this dichotomy and have a strict subconscious aversion to writing something ugly like "measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox."

This aversion leads to more unreadability than necessary. It's some subconscious thing in our minds that makes us code this way but when you think about it.... there's no logical point in it at all. Aim to encode as much context as possible into your code because it's completely irrelevant how ugly the variable appears.

I agree that this is common there, although I'm not sure how it actually compares with specific other places (curious for any data here), but I haven't noticed a correlation between this and interesting colors on other continents. If anything, at least in the parts of the US I've lived in, bright car colors are culturally more accepted and seem less ostentatious than in many other countries.
I'm disappointed they parked the cars at two drastically different angles relative to the sun, and they didn't specify if the interior was the same, or if the white car had a white interior and the black black...

Car colors went to shit after the 70's.

People play it too safe these days. They buy safe colored cars. Don't want to stand out, worried about resale...

I was told by a friend, "Hey, silver doesn't show dirt as well." Is that the motivation for choosing the color of a car today? Man, what happened to being expressive, what happened to art?

Then there was that whole decade of metallic...

Tesla charging thousands on the Model 3 for any color besides black, at least in the US and the UK, is a great opportunity here.

The alternative was paying $3-5k (?) for another color that didn't blow them away and probably wouldn't have been of astounding quality given that it's Tesla...
Google has systematically leveraged its monopolies in search, online video, online email, its very high market presence in online documents to promote chrome to all users of all other browsers.

It has if the myriad popovers, interstitial, etc didn’t already harm the user experience of those browsers it has long been suggested (though I don’t know about proven) that their changes deliberately harm other browsers.

Then you have their unending attempts to add privacy invasive web features that aid their ad businesses (hey, one monopoly helping another, what fun!), and have minimal real value.
To be fair, Apple is the only player in the game capable of taking a shot. A trillion dollars buys a lot of experimental 5nm masks, and their walled garden enables them to completely rewrite their entire OS and toolchain... something they've already done twice in the last 20 years for desktop, and a few times for mobile.

”Even the CDC puts the IFR around 0.65%. And, for example, you've got multiple boroughs in NYC with hundreds of deaths each that have exceeded a population fatality rate of 0.5%.”

No, it doesn’t. You’re cherry-picking old data, and ignoring the links I gave you, which tell you the updated numbers:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...

ages 0-19: .003%

ages 20-49: .02%

ages 50-69: .5%

ages 70+: 5.4%

The old reported numbers in New York are not a counterargument: we now know that number of cases was drastically under-counted, and the inferred IFR, if you use the right denominator, was a fraction of a percent.

You clearly know this, because you’re trying to talk about the rates in “boroughs” which are higher. But sample heterogeneity matters: I’m sure if you compute the IFR in Maimonedes ICU, it’s really high, too. The fact is, the fatality rate estimated by the Santa Clara study has been shown to be correct, and you’re simply spreading misinformation, because these new facts aren’t as scary.

These things are facts. Downvoting and brigading don’t change them.
