I don't know if I'd call them a bluff or an initial bid, but I agree with your main point that if you can convince a hiring manager that you're the best candidate they can find and represent a value overlay, they're very motivated to find a way to make it happen (often by hiring you at a more senior level than what you were being recruited for).

In the end, finding extremely talented developers is still a difficult, time-consuming, risky endeavor, remote or in-office.
I would be 100% comfortable flying the MAX if they either added a third AoA sensor or removed MCAS altogether (introducing a new type). They did neither.
Right? I too failed at a self-funded startup. Most expensive 'mistake' of my life, but boy did I learn a lot.
It's kinda funny, but I sort of wish I had a landline again because of Covid. Spending much more time in phone calls (mainly using WiFi calling due to reception issues, which may be part of the problem) and spending so much time accidentally talking over people and awkward silences. It's been quite a while since I used POTS, but I remember it being so fluid and natural.
"physically embarrassed". I like it; great distillation of the concept.
You're thinking of hypothesis. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypothesis#note-1 Hypo- meaning "lower" or "lesser".
Yeah, but it was a policy enacted in 1962 when car usage worldwide was a fraction of what it is now. Can an elected government impose such a policy today? I don't see it as being politically realistic.
This probably sounds crazy but I barely even read email anymore. Everything real is handled in chat and group calls now, so I don’t have time to organize/clean that stuff up anyway. I’m changing jobs this week and leaving behind about 13,000 unread. Work has gone from asynchronous to synchronous.
Same in the US I believe.
The elites who paid out to Corinthian Colleges etc.?
The way I see it this form of government is no different than any other Chinese dynasty before it. Qi, Tang, Ming, Wing, you name it. They were always large, dynastic/monarchical, emphasis on military, kowtow, heavens mandate post confucianism, and unchanging until an internal coup or massive peasant revolt.

The CCP is no different. The only thing that would make me think they are is if they'd be willing to launch a nuke at their own people to prevent a revolution.
Are the videos generally applicable or mainly to Ruby developers?
I have no issue with forgiving the first ten thousand spent on college. I do think that if we go the route of paying for college that government treat it like medicare.

Assign rates based on course and hours reward and set maximums for a degree. You can damn well bet colleges will rush to meet the requirements after some initial bellyaching. There may even be some degrees which would not qualify. Regardless there should be a cap regardless of degree.

Too many colleges are sitting on billions in endowments and are effectively hedge funds that happen to run universities. Harvard is approaching fifty billion dollars. Besides their endowments many are excused from paying local taxes which puts the cost on the everyday average citizen. We should also investigate clawing back loan money for where the student cannot pay and the load values beyond a certain amount from the university
The 95% effectiveness value is based on the risk ratio: https://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/mph-modules/ep/ep713_associa...

From this comment, which summarized the statistics of the phase 3 trial:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25136588

- The percentage of people in control that had confirmed COVID-19 cases was ~0.79%

- The percentage of people in treatment that had confirmed COVID-19 cases was ~0.04%

- This represents a risk ratio of 0.04/0.79 = ~0.05.

A risk ratio of 1.0 means that there was no reduction in risk, i.e. the treatment had no effect. A risk ratio less than 1.0 means that the treatment reduced the risk (or was correlated with this), and above 1.0 means that the treatment increased the risk (or was correlated with this).

Since the risk ratio of treatment was 0.05, there was a 0.95 reduction in risk, which is where the 95% number comes from.
After a series of accidents in coal mines in China, bosses are required to spend a certain amount of hours each year underground or they face huge fines and losing their job.
imo I don't agree with the "buy domain name right away" since it may cause you to lose motivation/drive. Having the thought "build it first then when it's done buy a domain" is my thought. As I often buy domains and end up not using them/not finishing the project... still I can see the issue of securing a nice domain name.

I think that would be great to make some project that has returns even a seemingly low sum of $200/mo. That's like a fifth of what I need to live a month, not bad.

Facebook ads for market interest check is an interesting thought albeit maybe expenisve.

edit: the other thing stories like these(pertaining to EarlyName) seem to gloss over is the legal aspect. It is easy to throw up a payment form but who is it paid to and say you're sued for whatever reason... does the few hundred a month justify an LLC sort of thing. That's the part that sucks/part of a business I guess. Some options like fastpring I think. Maybe general ToS/Privacy is enough

It is funny it's like a "solve that problem when you actually have it" sort of scenario. But I do wonder about creating some general LLC that can be an umbrella to random micro saas projects.
> is there moral obligation to do your job well instead of let's say watching youtube and doing bare minimum not to get fired?

No

You can choose to do well to avoid being fired.

You can choose to do well to chase a promotion.

You can choose to do well because the work interests you.

But you are not morally obligated to do anything, and if your employer is not very good at evaluating your work, then — like a man who buys a gym membership and never goes — that's on them.
I'm no design expert but this advice is really thin and not that useful. Trust me that using a color palette generator is not the One True Way! Also there's no advice on how to pick a base color, just "pick one".

Second this author is basing the advice on this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.amortizedc...

Again I am not an expert and I don't mean to be rude, but that's not a very nice looking app in my opinion. The colors, fonts, alignment, spacing, etc all seem just a bit "off".
It confused me for a long time because:

- Other languages like C++ and C# emphasize how much namespaces are _not_ connected to files at all

- I just ignored it and wrote everything in one big file, because the Rust compiler is just as slow either way. Even in C++ it's arguable whether splitting a file will result in faster or slower compiles, because of the outrageous behavior of #include

But once I realized every file is a module, it slowly started to make sense.
AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Review
Key words here are "over the study duration" and "over the time period of the study". The study started in late July, so it's been about 4 months. The data that they examine probably lags a bit too and in the intervening period, cases have gone up significantly.

Over the course of a longer period of time and with cases on the rise as they are now, I'd expect the risk reduction to be much higher.

Edit: Also, these numbers are somewhat skewed by the fact that not all 40k people got the vaccine/placebo at once, but over a period of time.

Marissa Mayer’s Next Act Is Here
I do think its possible to become passinate about things over time.

If you ask me if i want to work on x or y, i will tell you quite easy what i would prefer which i would relate to passion?

Wikipedia would agree on both ways of seeing passion:
"Passion (Greek πάσχω "to suffer, to be acted on"[1] and Late Latin (chiefly Christian[2]) passio "passion; suffering" (from Latin pati "to suffer"; participle: passus)) is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for someone or something. "

But i think what makes it more interesting or more motivationg for me is that one thing might have something special in comparison to other things i wanna do.

Like if i work on a product which helps the world vs. a product which is 'just a normal product' i might see more reason to work on the first product.

I probably need to ask you what makes you invest in a project.
Probably not the answer you’re looking for, but Windows Remote Desktop (if you’re on Windows) is REALLY good. If feels almost identical to using the remote computer directly, it’s snappy even on a mobile hotspot connection. If you’re not on Windows, I’m a fan of AnyDesk (no affiliation), and have had good experiences with it in the past.

Rather than deal with syncing environments, etc. why not just use the same one all the time and remote to your desktop when you want to use your laptop?
Apple ships a utility on Apple Silicon Macs that allows you to sign kernels yourself for booting yourself, sort of like EFI Secure Boot: https://twitter.com/never_released/status/132631574108015001...

AFAIK during the height of Athenian democracy there were no more than 50k ish male citizens that lived in Athens, and all of the same ethnic group. Democracy only works for politics in such a city-state, never about about a bigger and more diverse non male group (for example one of our current huge nations)
I wouldn't have used the term real and baseband together, but I think I understand what you mean. I've been frustrated when people describe a modulation real when they could have deacrbed it more elegantly complex. With modern floating point registers being so large the phase loss is less important, but sometimes the representation just makes more sense symmetrical around zero (DC). Could you explain what you mean by harmonic relationships in sound? Does that imply AM will destroy some quality of the music even if you used a 22khz wide band?
So, we're safe against cities attacked by enemies! Unless they use UPS and a biological agent, or something. Or get sick and fly here for legitimate business reasons. Or mail the parts for a missile to a bungalow in Burbank and put it together there.
Your scenarios depend upon narrowly assumed premises that fail as soon as you put real people in the mix. Sure, if we lived in a perfect world where your woodworking moderators knew for a fact when libel was taking place or Nazis were posting - then we could all rest easily because they would de facto be preventing harm, not causing it.

But that's not the way it works. In reality, moderators don't know legal libel when they see it to the point that they should be automatically indemnified. We see in day-to-day life that not everyone who is accused of being a Nazi or a racist is one in fact. Sometime the accusation of being a Nazi is itself the libel, and if your woodworking moderators are participating in the perpetuation of that libel; then they should be held to account.

If your woodworking community, through moderation, decides to weigh in on user comments through moderation, badging, or editing; then it should be liable for any libel that it amplifies through its policies. If a person can show actual damage from those policies in court, then why should your woodworking community get a pass?
Yep, that's how I'm reading it at least.
Odd, the EFI loader puts the eGPU in a fixed space that always works (mainly because it no longer looks like an external GPU to the rest of the system), and Windows can't mis-configure it anymore.

I doubt that. CPU design and manufacture is a huge investment. I don't think laptop/destop manufacturers are going to put their money in it. And without a performant ARM CPU supply (Apply doesn't show any sign of releasing M1 for general use), there's just no ARM-based offers.
That would be a problem for those of us who would rather have a thick phone (I'm perfectly fine with 2 centimeters, no kidding) with great battery life (== early morning to late night at high load), rather than a credit card thin one that needs to be recharged too often. Might be a further development in which users can purchase a thicker rear cover with bigger or additional batter(y|ies) and snap them in place of the original one.

It's not even the 30% cut itself. It's the inevitable necessity to go through Apple if you want any presence on iOS. The only solution I see here is to allow proper sideloading.

Apple keeps trying to spin the app store as a way for users to discover apps, when in reality, the reason developers publish their apps there is that it's the only way onto the millions of iOS devices worldwide.

But if you have to rely on an IDE, it's hard to innovate in language design.

Rust does have rust-analyzer, but it uses piles of RAM and often just doesn't work. I'll periodically try it for a few days and give up on it again. Maybe it's a bug in Kate's LSP support.

I know that from an ethical standpoint, the RFP is iffy, but from a technical standpoint, I find it fascinating. Basically a big RDBMS with a bunch of stored procedures. Maybe something fancy like Tableau in front of it. The hard part would be getting the data sanitized and into the DB, and access control. Probably lots of encryption requirements as well.

Also note this is an RFP, so the decision to do it has already been made, this is basically the procurement of the service happening here.

I think it’s more targeted specifically at Epic, although maybe they thought it might help more generally with antitrust too. Epic made a big deal in their lawsuit/PR about how apples policies negatively impact smaller developers, and that they were standing up for them. With this change apple can now push back on this point against Epic, as it’s unlikely they will drop the lawsuit.

It’s something I’ve been torn on for a while, on the one hand 30% seems way too high for most apps (maybe you could make an argument for a few that rely more heavily on apple infrastructure). But on the other app stores do provide a lot of benefits like auto-update, malware scanning, reviews, distribution, etc. that most apps couldn’t or wouldn’t do by themselves.

The number of users is not a metric that makes something Nobel prize-worthy.

Why do people buy consoles? It has very little to do with controls, and everything to do with price & conveninece. Because a PC gaming system is much much more expensive.

Take Horizon: Zero Dawn. It runs just fine on a 7-year old PS4 console. If you want to play on a PC, you need a PC that, at the level of a budget DIY system, will cost you around $600.

This doesn't even take into account the fact that this particular game didn't come to PC for 3.5 years.
Fun story about seeking actually. A dentist prescribed me opiates (two different kinds but I can't remember what) for wisdom tooth removal. I filled the prescription in case I needed them but ibuprofen ended up being fine.

Later my psychiatrist retired so I needed to find a new one. The new psychiatrist interrogated me about my use of opiates. He asked if I had taken opiates before. I answered no because I hadn't. This was his gleeful gotcha moment where he pulls up my prescription history to find the opiate prescription and accuse me of lying about drug abuse.

It was a university health system and he was pushing a new medication on me. That same day I found out the manufacturer of the drug he wanted to put me on had made a $10 million donation to the university. I guess he was going to try to get me to feel like a drug abuser and like I have no choice but to take this new medication?

Anyway, he was successful at making me feel like I was a drug abuser so I just left and stopped taking psychiatric medications altogether. I probably didn't need them. Also you can be labeled a seeker even if you fill the prescription instead of going back to get it.
> they can convince regulators they will self-regulate... while continuing to get a third of the revenue from all the most lucrative developers.

So what?

Seriously, who cares if Epic earns 14 bzillionty dollars this month, or 20 bzillionty dollars?

At that scale, the 30% is such a terrible thorn in your side?

Come on. Cry me a damn river.

The 'narrative' here is Epic pretending they care about anyone except themselves and that this ridiculous song and dance is about it being 'good for everyone'.

Let's try something positive instead:

What should they have done then to make you happy?

Seriously; if this is such a cynical, terrible move, what should they have done?
You are Not paid by the value you provide you are paid via the value you keep.
> significantly reducing the absolute number of developers suffering the full impact whilst taking the minimum possible hit to their revenue

It also reduces their anti-competitive effect on new entrants. Now they have a beachhead. Sounds like a win-win.

There should be an additional tier between e.g. $1mm and $25mm. Though that still wouldn't satisfy an absolutist constituency. So maybe this is the most efficient compromise.

> This has nothing to do with “doing the right thing”

Who cares? I'll take effective solutions from self-interested actors over well-intentioned bumbling.

> everything to do with limiting the number of outraged letters to senators from devs

Sounds like a responsive political system.

If your concern is the App Store's 30% take from large developers, good news: they have the resources to find recourse in courts. Small developers don't. Given this has zero effect on Epic, it has zero effect on their case. (Just, perhaps, its lobbying effect in Congress.)

FAA, EASA, Transport Canada and ANAC have all not only re-certified the planes but also checked all each others work. I'm sure the 737 Max is as safe as any other plane to fly in.

What's still troubling to me is that the FAA was allowing Boeing to parlay it's way into 2017 using 1967 certifications.

"The 737 was first certified by the FAA in 1967. Like every new 737 model since then, the MAX has been approved partially with the original requirements and partially with more current regulations, enabling certain rules and requirements to be grandfathered in. Chief executive Dai Whittingham of the independent trade group UK Flight Safety Committee disputed the idea that the MAX was just another 737, saying, "It is a different body and aircraft but certifiers gave it the same type rating."
