You are correct that Epic Games made 5 billion dollars in revenue in 2019, according to Venturebeat [1]. However, Apple Insider reports that Apple made 59.7 billion dollars in revenue in their third fiscal quarter (March, April, and May) of 2020 [2].

Epic's definitely not a little guy, but compared to Apple, it looks more like a respectable medium-sized company.

I find Apple's revenue numbers and market value truly staggering. Few companies seem to be able to compare.

There’s a sleight of hand going on here.

Apple is saying that most developer teams make under $1M so this will help them (which is true and great for those teams!). I’m sure most make $0

But what is being missed is that the majority of purchases are done by teams making more than $1M like Spotify and Epic.

For Apple, this concession appeases a lot of angry devs, without giving up a lot of money. I’d wager that most operations struggle to hire a full team and make ongoing product updates for less then $1M of revenue

And of course the actual problem with the App Store isn’t the 30%. It’s Apple’s control and ability to make and enforce arbitrary rules on a whim - as evidenced by today’s changed.

Lack of ability to snapchat friends might not seem important... But communication is key to nearly everything in life, and not being part of those snapchat rumours, disputes and controversies now will probably mean your daughter doesn't get as good at the skills to interact with her peers in 20 years time.
I've also struggled with finding the right coach. It's a tricky evaluation problem: The first meeting shouldn't feel perfectly comfortable, the whole point is that they're going to bring in viewpoints that stress you out. But incorrect viewpoints also stress me out. I'd love to demand scientific evidence behind all of their assertions, but have (kicking and screaming) come to realize that many important things in life simply don't/can't have studies at my preferred level of rigor.

An idea: Hire a coach with the expressed goal of finding another coach. Like an interim CEO who understands they are not being considered for the permanent position. I tried this once, with friend-of-a-friend coach, and she couldn't really break out of her reflexive attempts to fix me directly, but that's n=1 and a convenience sample at that, so I think there's still potential in the idea. Let me know if it works for you!
Define "leftist." There are plenty of Western European democracies that have been governed by center-left coalitions at various times without descending into whatever you're describing. You're clearly begging the question by making censorship a defining characteristic of "leftist" government. I'm not surprised nobody else has bothered responding to such an obviously bad faith comment.
Part of the problem is an overemphasis on DRY as it pertains to allowing you to write less code. That's often a benefit, but it's not large and is easily dwarfed by the cost of bad abstractions.

On the other hand, DRY as a principle shines when it allows logical changes to a program to only require physical changes to the code in one place. E.g., in <horrible but self-contained algorithm> it's plausible that bugs might exist, and you'd really like bug fixes to apply to all implementations. The easiest way to manage that is to only have a single implementation. Likewise, to the extent that they're sometimes necessary your magic strings should be given a name so that your compiler can catch minor typos (supposing the edit distance between various names in your program is largeish).

But those two seem equivalent to me. A software engineer in Toledo has a competitive advantage over an equally skilled software engineer the Bay Area because they are able to work at a lower wage without materially sacrificing their quality of life. So by looking to reduce labor costs by hiring more remote engineers in Toledo, Bay Area companies are effectively working to reduce income polarization and spreading the economic benefits of the US tech sector to more Americans.

Books.

Management

Domain(scientific textbooks, best to search from related university course reading lists)

There is a difference between using debt as a tool to live and taking on debt to earn a degree that will not eventually allow you to pay back that debt.

There is nothing wrong (at least compared to student debt) with people having $400k+ mortgage or car payments, the issue arise when that money is used to earn a degree that has no monetary value.

Show HN: Airboxr – Query Builder for Google Sheets
Hi everyone! Shubh, Saps and Mehmet here from Airboxr (https://airboxr.com/). We've built a Google Sheets add-on that lets you import and lookup data from external data sources without having to leave your spreadsheet.

We found most spreadsheet users (74% in our survey of over 900 users) are frustrated with all the data collection and cleaning they need to do before they can analyze data. Data today is distributed across various marketing, sales, financial, and operational sources. While power users can write scripts to collect and clean data, most business users end up applying a long series of copy-pastes and CSV imports to get their data ready for analysis. The process of importing data from multiple sources into a spreadsheet is complicated and unintuitive.

Airboxr is an interactive query builder inside your Google Sheets that enables you to import and lookup data across various sources. Much like SQL querying, it lets you filter and summarize data as you see fit, without requiring any SQL know-how.

In our current public-beta version, you can connect to any google sheet and start importing data as per your needs. The only requirement right now is that the google sheet you connect should have tabular data with headers in the first row.

Here's a quick no-frills demo (https://airboxr.com/demo) that you can play around with. If you're looking for a marketing specific use case, try this demo instead (https://www.airboxr.com/demo-marketing).

Thanks for reading - we'd love to get your thoughts, feedback, and ideas!
That one is kind of silly.
Besides the obvious point made by another commenter that two completely equivalent people won't exist, it's not just negotiating skill it's more about negotiating leverage.

A real example that I've seen: two workers work for the same employer and have been given offers from other companies located in a different State. The single mother in the group had significantly less leverage because she (and presumably her employer) knew she couldn't move without potentially affecting the custody of her kids. She didn't get a raise.

Or to extend your example, someone living in KC has less leverage because they cannot use the COL argument to justify higher pay. If I'm being courted by an employer to move, you better believe I'm building COL considerations into my overall salary ask.

A lot of car salesmen ignore buyers like this. They see it as a waste of time to get pitted against each other. I’ve gotten the best results by starting with the dealerships with the lowest prices on TrueCar and then baiting them to invest time in me. Then they’re more committed and eager to close.

These metric help for writing a report for the boss.

But really, these tools should not be a factor for UI design. They're much better for things like data visualization where you're working wit a lot more colors in a tight space.

If somebody is relying on slight variations in hue to differentiate between background and font color, they've already fucked up.

FWIW, I recommend using the squint test as a really rough metric, try and see if you can use something through your eyelashes as you're squinting.
Honestly I don't really care about video at ALL. I almost wish they'd replace videos with Animoji or a kind of animated avatar like some Twitch streamers are using.

Ok. Well, I don't have the Xcode command line tools installed. This is what I see:

% ls -l /usr/bin/python*

% ls -l /usr/bin/pip*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 137536 Jan 1 2020 /usr/bin/pip3

I had assumed that /usr/bin/python3 was part of the system, since it is not a symlink. But then when I do this, I see it is indeed hitting Xcode:

% /usr/bin/python3
objc[12852]: Class AMSupportURLConnectionDelegate is implemented in both ?? (0x20ab7e7a0) and ?? (0x1143782b8). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Python 3.8.2 (default, Oct 2 2020, 10:45:41)

>>> import os
>>> print(os.environ['PYTHONPATH'])
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'PYTHONPATH'

So Xcode is definitely involved.

EDIT: So I uninstalled Xcode. /usr/bin/python3 is there, but it is clearly a stub file of some sort. If you run it without Xcode or Xcode command line tools installed, you get a popup to install the command line tools. So python3 is not part of the system, but the stubs for it are. Thanks for the patience.

Even more interesting, if you have Xcode, but not the command line tools, the stub launches Python3.8 from the Xcode installation. Once you install the command line tools, it then switches to launching that version. Presumably this is all because of the read-only system volume.

> What's included in "Cost of Living"? More importantly, who defines it?

The author of this article seems confused about the term “cost of living”. It doesn’t mean all of your personal expenses including grandparents and pets, it’s a measure of the cost of a geographical location.

“ The cost of living is the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare in a certain place and time period.”

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cost-of-living.asp

... and since many places’ cost of living is a lot lower than the Bay Area, it’s clear why companies would like to take advantage of that fact to lower salaries for people who choose to live somewhere cheaper. It’s not clearly an unreasonable idea, but dropping employees existing salaries is questionable, something employees may need to push back on or be prepared to change jobs. It’s going to be interesting if the big tech companies willingly lower their hiring competitiveness by reducing compensation broadly.
Don't follow. How does income get less polarized? Toledo Engineers working remotely but at Toledo pay, are not ahead. I guess they have a larger market for their skills? But that could lower rates thru competition.

> The same type of guidelines and trade-off discussions could be taught in e.g. high school. I'm pretty sure just getting people to reflect on this stuff would bring huge improvements.

On this I agree. And even just putting out a single, simple, effective method, while mentioning there are other ways would be fine. Those that are curious should be able to ask after lecture as to what those ways are.

I do resent I was never formally taught any sort of study skills in high school, and I feel this falls under that same banner. But I still stand by my assertion that people shouldn't be punished for deviating from a "one true way", unless those deviations are objectively harmful.

At least for public universities, how about sidestepping the lenders entirely, and replacinh tuition with payment of a fixed percent (say 20%) of 10-year post-graduation income?

Aside from the effects that wealth can have on early education (which can't really be dealt with effectively so late in the education process anyways), this would eliminate wealth as a barrier to higher education or to continuity of higher education, and protect students from both predatory lenders and misleading marketing by universities. This would also incentivize colleges to invest more heavily into the aspects of education that actually contribute to career success (e.g. practical skills over fancier stadiums) and to rebalance the number of degrees they offer in each field to what is actually valued by society. For example, if they graduate too many people with degrees in communication, and only half get jobs and pay for the education, then maybe they offered too many communication degrees. Likewise, if every mechanical engineer graduated paid highly for their educations in the 10 years post graduation, they should consider offering more of those degrees. Interestingly, this would incentivize high-value education without any more information than level-of-payment; if, for some unknown reason, all of a university's 'basket weaving' graduates make tens of millions after graduation, then you don't need to know how they made so much money to know that you did something right in how you educated them.

They can and do, but issues of time zone alignment and language/cultural barriers make it more enticing to hire American engineers. When I was starting my career in the early 2000s it felt like everyone just assumed that outsourcing would eviscerate the US-base job market for software engineers but it seems like it went in the complete opposite direction. I'm sure lots of academic work tries to explain exactly why but my subjective view is just that the outsourcing model doesn't really work that well for modern product development methodologies.
