Unix epoch is known not to be good enough for some scientific applications :-/
We're not talking about socialism, or Stalinism. You're reading words that we didn't use. And I didn't say there's anything wrong with socialism - I didn't even mention it! I live in a country with many socialist policies such as socialised healthcare. It's almost universally supported here. But I don't think most people here would want to try to force everyone to be more-or-less equal.
20 Years Ago, LimeWire Took File-Sharing to a New Level
When the subscription is cancelled 'freeze' the existing private data.

When frozen it is kept private, but the user can only delete it, or make it public (maybe allow read-only viewing, with this possibly limited to the first few slides (or whatever makes sense)). Once public, it is like any other public data in the free tier.

This way account status changes neither destroy privacy, nor allow people to take advantage of a loop hole to get free private data.
Science Based Work from Home Tips
A friend pointed me at https://www.govdeals.com (not affiliated) but plugging "government auctions" into Google got me a few hits as well. Not sure about the veracity of all of these sites, but some of them will ship to you.

On the other hand, you're often looking at "Lot of 38 Dell Latitude 5570 Core i7", "These items have been used by students or employees within a professional Community College environment. Items have been maintained, updated, and well kept.", minimum bid $5,800.00

Or something like "(1) Dell Optiplex 780, bad power supply, pickup in-person only, we don't ship" so you'd have to be in the area and interested in swapping a PSU.
I think your comments are so blinkered and one-sided there is literally no point in debating with you. Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well.
Certainly my calculation is very basic since it only counts hospital entries with no exits.
Quantum Computing Foundations
You suggest Bob can publish the "key" to some anonymous extrajudicial server so it can't the tracked to him. Well if this is possible, why wouldn't he just post the full unencrypted movies (or whatever) there instead of bothering with the xor'ing scheme? The xor'ing doesn't change the legality of anything.

> And if you don't know that it's Bob, under what justification would you punish people who download things from Bob?

Er...under the justification that they are downloading infringing material?
What you are paid is only somewhat related to the value you bring. Remote work increases the pool of potential employees...
Why not just prevent you from creating new private presentations and keep those read only? After all, these were created when you had the subscription.
Segment CEO – How to Find Product Market Fit (2017)
If I had to guess they probably had timeouts that were too aggressive. Client timeouts are a very hard problem because it is difficult to tell the difference between "working, but slowly" and "something went wrong, the best bet is to try again".

Back in the day we used to have timeouts based on individual reads/writes which will often better answer "is this HTTP request making progress". However the problem with these sort of timeouts is they don't compose well so most people end up having an end-to-end deadline.

- Software Engineer III

- Senior Software Engineer

Bombora is a mature startup working to build sustainable marketing solutions for the B2B space. We process billions of content interactions daily through our platform, to detect intent signals from companies around the world.

We practice agile development, with over 30 applications created and supported internally. We are polyglot, primarily using C#, Java, and Python. Substantial portions of our workload are containerized or serverless, and we are continually evaluating and adopting new tools and practices.

Great team, lots of learning opportunities, supportive culture and we're growing!
It is the World top 50 site by Alexa.

Comparatively speaking even compare them to the same CRUD app and DB, most are using 5 to 10x more servers with 1/2 to 1/5 of the traffic.
Thanks! Yeah, I started on that awhile ago. Learning from our knowledge base and updating it is helpful, but I'm trying to think in terms of "this is the best order to do things in" for maximum benefit during onboarding, instead of feeling simply that I'm working overtime to "get onboarding done in as short a time period as possible".
This is the wonder of the internet, the clues, anomalies and illogical, contradictory evidence people pick up on and expose like a crowd sourced episode of the old TV show 'Columbo'.

It's great that Shelby have accepted this, not crying 'tin foil hat', conspiracy theorists etc etc as so often happens with higher stakes anomalies
'The Ghosts of Newspaper Row'
Yep. Browsers could protect against this much better by profiling the fragment shaders instructions, size of data buffers, and requiring the render loop to have a delay. But then we get into managed GL territory and it's no longer really GLES, it's a library that gives you some features of GLES.
It happens all the time, people in EU with similar skillset are paid much less than people in the US, even after adjusting for the differences what your taxes give you (ie. healthcare).
My problem with his solution is that it lacks two key components of an implementable design, better incentives and a competitive advantage. As a result, you'd seemingly need an authoritarian government to force these types of changes, which has the potential to cause greater harm than the problem it's fixing.

Incentives - While such a system seems better for workers, it doesn't show any benefit for entrepreneurs or investors. Why would anyone start such a business if they lose control almost immediately? What is the incentive for investment if it doesn't come with the potential for a return?

Competitive Advantage - The reason you'd need an authoritarian government is because anyone using a traditional ownership model would have an advantage against these types of companies. As we've seen in cooperatives, one-person-one-vote creates freerider and horizon problems, and the pressure to form smaller firms would eliminate the economies of scale that many firms today enjoy.

This feels more like a political solution, and seems liable to succumb to predictable economic behaviors.
Home prices are very sticky. For mental and financial reasons people are very reluctant to price their homes below the rest of the market. During the 08 crash some houses were on the market for years.
I was thinking more of the ordinary startup than of large organizations.
The pricing of Wistia and many others is based on bandwidth. All plans on Wistia come with 200 GB of bandwidth then it's $0.33/GB.
According to their bandwith predictor, for the example you gave 7200 views is equivalent to 202GB so you exceed their limit.

Now my point is that it's complicated to determine exactly how much a video is going to consume. Each provider has their own calculation. I'm going on a per minute view time basis instead.
Indeed if you have only one video in your account, to reach 600 hours/month you need 7200 views. But you assume that the video is watched at 100% which is very optimistic. If your video is viewed 90% you have 8000 views. If it is watched 50, 14,400 views.

> 8000 views is 224 GB on the Wistia calculator and so it costs you $7.92 more.

> 14400 views is 404 GB and therefore you get $67.32.

I wanted to test a new approach to pricing. In the future there may be some adjustments to the quantity levels or the addition of higher third parties.
I'll probably add a little calculator on the pricing page so you can test and compare how much hodho would cost compared to the solution you're already using.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Hopefully I've been clear enough.
The Dance of Civilization
The article was just showing how easy it is for a merchant to accept Bitcoin payments.

It may be easy to accept but for most merchants bitcoin is still just too risky.

Merchants are in business to make money. They are not inclined to watch their funds evaporate due to the whims of the bitcoin "marketplace".
I don't think it is 1-1 perfectly like that. In silicon Valley, a person with x skills is worth y dollars. If going remote, there will still be people with hard to find skills, probably because all the people with those skills were already in silicon valley. I don't see these jobs getting salary decreases.

however, standard crud jobs that most programmers can do, yeah that will go down as rural employees are willing to work for less out of Utah or something.
Well, at least Pine64 makes one. I have no idea if those are pin-compatible with Pi compute module, though.

https://www.pine64.org/clusterboard/

It's a bit sad the Pi foundation dropped the DDR form factor, though, it was a good idea IMO.

For this, they could have gone with an EOMA68 form-factor, that would have been awesome: https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop
I don't know if the monitor is as big of an issue, a quick search on walmart.com yields their cheapest option at $69.99 for a 19". That's if you have to buy one new. I'm sure the local craigslist would have second hand TVs with HDMI in. A lot of households already have multiple, cheap flatscreens. If we narrow the discussion to only those who cannot afford or do not have any of the above then I think we're also talking about the same group of people that would not be able to afford the Pi400 at its current price. It would be more beneficial (and probably cheaper) to focus on making aid available for them to obtain what they need rather than redesigning the system.

The webcam is a different issue, there doesn't appear to be much for a plug and play option for the Pi. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

If these were to be used as an option for remote education, I would hope that the same organization promoting them would also sell a kit with the system preconfigured to use an included webcam.

Dentally | Senior Software Engineer | UK, Remote | https://dentally.co

Dentally is the UK's leading cloud dental platform & we're looking for talented engineers to join our team to help us take Dentally international. We currently have openings for both full stack & frontend engineers.

Tech: Rails, Ember.js, Postgres, Redis & AWS

Apply at https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/455724/senior-software-engine... or email jobs@dentally.co
I agree. That seems like a wasted opportunity for the form factor change -- at least one full-sized hdmi port would have been a great idea.
It should terrify slaveowners and royalty more.
Yes, that's correct. But the question being asked is why the location changes the $X's there. I don't know that restatement of economic generalities helps unless you're going to apply them to the dynamic being asked about.
In this particular moment, it might not be so bad for many use cases -- school hours are usually times when people are working anyway, so it isn't as if parents will be sitting around watching TV. Plus, it isn't like the goal here is just to goof off and play games, the kid is 1) learning 2) distracted. Seems like a pretty good tradeoff.
- like i said, it IS an ad hominem

- i didn't say i disagree. in fact i find no argument (except from the fairytale part that really isnt worth discussing) (PS @ameetgaitonde sums it up pretty nicely, really nothing more to say)

- The supposed recap of recent history, full with affectionate dimunitives like maggie. It's just bad writing

- Again, everything. I ve read a lot. Can you point one article that has an actual point? His articles are the GPT-3 of economics.

And i mean, its not just me, none of the comments here are about the text. Perhaps because theres nothing to talk about there.
Looks like I finally have to bug GitHub to upgrade my GH Actions from beta to the current schema.
Doesn't Meet, like most other app, have a message when you try to speak muted? Though they should maybe make it more obvious. I do agree that mute button isn't power user.
agreed if someone is remote is SF or remote in Wyoming, the pay will not depend on the employees personal expenses, but there might be a price differentiator for an SF employee that can come to the office within a moments notice. That adds value that has a cost associated with it.
Yes! There they are, the diagonal time zones. I don't know why I didn't check there. This website is so amazingly good, I keep referencing the interactive annual sunrise/sunset charts at different locations, just didn't think to check the world map. For some reason I feel like maybe the pastel colors and cartoony graphics make me frequently under-estimate how serious and thorough the charts and apps are here, but I am a big fan. Maybe time to donate.
Don’t bother applying if you don’t have a CS degree - it’s a hard requirement for them
Facebook announced that they'd be adjusting employee salaries by new home location at the start of the new calendar year, I think.

Some more distributed companies like Salesforce have been adjusting compensation for years when employees move from the Bay Area to other office locations.
Of course they are, and it makes perfect sense.
This is new to me.

This specializes the regular nucleus for reproduction, while the macronucleus becomes a sort of brain, using DNA as an information processing and storage engine?

It calls attention to the brain-like activity of the regular nucleus in cells that don't have a macronucleus, and of the raw DNA in a bacterium.
See Senator Barry Goldwater’s Southern Strategy. The Republican party won over the white southern votes that it craved, and all it had to sell was its soul. Rinse and repeat with the fundagelicals in the 1980s to establish an unshakeable base. From there it’s just a matter of persuading the rest of the country not to vote for anyone else.

Telling that you’re downvoted, but honestly the Overton window today would give even old Adolph a suntan. 50 years of the Republican party gently transitioning the US to a one-party state, with a spineless Democratic “opposition” content to normalize each new lurch to the extreme.

Democracy doesn’t die in the dark but on top of a stove: like a pot of gently simmering frogs.
How Safe Is the US Election from Hacking?
In NJ, my girlfriend and I chose a really bad time to buy. Houses that were a very reasonable ~$300k last year are pushing $400k.
I don't generally think that dataframes as a data interchange format are a good idea if you're looking to build long-term maintainable code. Their structure is too mutable – in my experience, they lead to kitchen sink APIs where the easiest way to add a feature is to shove more columns into the dataframe.
Of course but bay is still one of the best in the world.

Also the bay encompasses more than SF, while SF and daly city have notoriously foggy weather, the rest of the bay area is quite good.
Well Heroku is running on top of AWS. So you are basically paying an extra premium on top of the premium from AWS.

Although whether it is worth it depends on your view.

( I keep thinking SalesForces is just not a good fit for Heroku, they should have sold it to MS or Google )
Home prices tend to be pretty sticky downwards especially for anyone who hasn't already had significant appreciation. (Though admittedly, a lot of homes in the Bay Area have appreciated a lot unless they were purchased recently.)

That said, I expect most people leaving are those who were renting, perhaps because they couldn't afford to buy. Now they're either renting somewhere cheaper or they're possibly buying if this was something they were thinking about anyway.
I’m sorry to belabor the point, but the US fails wildly on this metric as well. Voter suppression, gerrymandering and other anti-democratic tactics are widespread, the two party systems limits democratic choice to very narrow, right-leaning bounds, far less than that available in other representative democracies. Protests from the left are almost uniformly met with violence. By what measure in the US is one allowed to “achieve equality”? Even if we consider the advancement of civil rights, the average material conditions for the poor and most minority groups have been on the decline for decades. Likewise, the number of incarcerated people in the US far surpasses explicitly authoritarian regimes like China.
I had a chance to work with Dan on a small project at CNCF about this time last year. We hit a wall with how everything was setup, COVID hit and we shelved everything in late January as events started getting cancelled. He was very down to earth and wonderful to work with.
We use this: https://www.wintherbikes.com/product-items/cargoo/

Though we were also looking at the Babboe Big and Curve, and I know a lot of people like the Urban Arrow.

The Winther works fine, but I'm not in love with it as a particular model. There's lots of room for improvement.

Certainly some of the sunniest in the English-speaking world. Personally (as an ex-Londoner), I overheat a lot and actually miss a good rainstorm from time-to-time - but your evaluation does line up with most people's, I think.

Let's just gloss over the increasingly-common smoke from wildfires... :)

Pay for software engineering will contract because it turns out programming is not that difficult and there was nothing special about the sf set except their need to cover stupid high rents.
> and you accepted $X because you couldn't find someone to give you $X+1.

My buddy accepted $X -($X *.8) = $Y because the company offering $Y was doing something ethical. Point being there's far more variables at stake here to over simplify.

Our TV sits unused during work hours for the most part, I think this is less of an issue than people are making it out to be.
It is terrible in small engines too and kills a lot of them (chainsaws, lawnmowers, etc.). Watch any small engine repair videos on youtube and about half of them (or more) were killed because of ethanol in the gas.
If I can access the video without even logging into YouTube, then I'm pretty sure that doesn't count as Digital Rights Management ?
Even the federal government has geographical cost of living adjustments to salaries.
Didn’t they adjust it not based on COLA but on what the talent market is in that region? That’s making it explicitly market based, although that obviously includes a cost of living component.
Counterrevolution
True, but I maintain that if you are worried that hackers may steal your email database then a much better approach is to encrypt the emails with an external key.
I kind liked the idea of feature parody with Apple. Perhaps an obligatory app store where 30% of the profits go to charity.
Materialize | Engineers | Marketing | NYC HQ + North America Remote + EU Remote in early 2021 | http://materialize.io/careers

Materialize is a streaming database for real-time applications. Materialize lets you ask questions about your data, and then get low-latency, correct answers, which are kept incrementally updated as the underlying data changes.

Materialize is built on Timely Dataflow, a low-latency cyclic dataflow computational model, first introduced in the paper "Naiad: a timely dataflow system". Materialize is co-founded by Frank McSherry, the primary author of Timely Dataflow (http://timelydataflow.com) and Differential Dataflow (http://differentialdataflow.com), the two open source projects that power Materialize. Materialize itself is source-available and entirely written in Rust: https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize

Materialize is a team of over twenty, primarily based in New York City but also open to remote positions. We are hiring in all engineering positions (eng. manager, engineers from new grad to principal) as well as several non-engineering positions. For the full list, see http://materialize.io/careers

We are a team of significantly experienced individuals in databases and distributed systems, and looking to add more folks with that interest and/or experience to our team.
Hopefully, people will figure out that a lot of 2nd hand stores have a lot of used monitors for sale that just sit around forever.
